21:15 Interpol – Who Controls the World Police?

The international crime-fighting organization Interpol and its agents are the stuff of legend. Nearly 200 countries belong to the 'international super-police' agency - but it’s funding does not cover its ambitious projects. That is why it has entered collaborating with corporations, shady groups embroiled and controversial states, something hitherto unthinkable. Is Interpol losing its integrity.
So far, the media has rarely been able to get a look behind the scenes at Interpol. The forerunner of the present organization was founded nearly a century ago to strengthen cooperation between national police authorities. With increasing globalization and the associated rise in international organized crime, the challenges for the agency, which now has 192 member-states, have also grown. When Ronald Noble, an American, became Secretary General of Interpol in 2000, the world's largest police organization underwent a dramatic turnaround. Noble's dream was to create an 'international super-police'. To achieve that goal, Interpol entered into previously unimaginable cooperation agreements with large corporations such as Philip Morris International and Sanofi, as well as organizations suspected of corruption such as FIFA. Interpol has been criticized for disregarding serious conflicts of interest arising from the potential influence of private donors on investigations. At the same time, some controversial countries began to fund the world police. In March 2017, for example, the United Arab Emirates gave Interpol 50 million euros - as much as contributions from all the other member states put together. But surely such a grant from a single country raises questions about the independence of the recipient. What alliances is Interpol prepared to enter into in order to expand? Is it possible to finance policing through private donations without compromising integrity and accountability? Is this the first step toward a new world order in which collaboration between police authorities and large international companies is seen as normal?

The temples at Khajuraho in Central India continue to shock or confuse many visitors even today. The exterior walls feature more than 2000 sculptures of deities and other celestial beings, dancers and mythical creatures. But what the temples are perhaps most famous for is their erotic sculptures, known as maithunas, designed to glorify the gods.
In a burst of creative energy, the sculptors produced an exuberant glorification of life, depicting an opulent, sensual and joyous encounter between the divine and the profane worlds. Their use of Kaimur sandstone allowed them to depict the most intricate details. But it is important to interpret the images correctly in the context of Hindu mythology. The acts of lovemaking depicted are seen not just as the union of man and woman but above all the act of divine procreation through which the world was created. There were originally 85 temples, all built over 1000 years ago. 25 have survived to this day. Each temple was built according to fixed rules and based on the proportions of the human body

Nelson Mandela was born 100 years ago. The man many South Africans call the father of their country was imprisoned for 27 years by the apartheid regime. Later he was sworn in as the first freely elected president of a democratic South Africa. His friend Desmond Tutu once called Mandela "God’s gift to our nation". The world remembers this remarkable man as a symbol of humanity and reconciliation.
The 'grand old man' of Africa, born on 18 July 1918, remains a legendary figure with extraordinary charisma. The "Mandela phenomenon" has been the subject of books and films, and it continues to exert a huge fascination. It was no coincidence that Nelson Mandela’s father gave him the name Rolihlahla, the troublemaker. It was women who first began to tame the wild young man. Then there was the 27-year prison sentence that, as Nobel Peace laureate Desmond Tutu said, "did not embitter Nelson Mandela in the fight for freedom, but ennobled him.†But the price of liberation from the ruthless apartheid state was high: isolation, torture, betrayal. The regime tried to break Mandela by targeting his most precious asset, his wife Winnie and their two daughters. Later, Mandela raised fabulous sums of money as a Nobel Peace Prize winner, a former president and the face of numerous charities. Scandals overshadowed the hero's reputation; he was embroiled in allegations of embezzlement, counterfeiting and fraud amounting to millions. But in spite of all the many unanswered questions, Mandela, who died on 5 December 2013, is still revered by his compatriots. "Nelson Mandela - A Life for Liberty" was made with the help of the former leader’s friends. The result is a highly personal portrait that shows how triumphs and tragedies shaped the life of this historic figure and how much the diverse and divided country of South Africa owes to the 'Father of the Nation'.

23:15 Carcassonne – The Fairy Tale of a Castle, France

When Walt Disney visited Carcassonne, he was so enchanted by this medieval fortress town that he took it as a template for his film "Snow White." In fact, Carcassonne with its narrow streets is still the epitome of a medieval stronghold.
Our film tells the history of the city from the perspective of Lady Carcas, a probably mythical figure who allegedly gave it its name. When the Emperor Charlemagne pulled his forces back from the city after an unsuccessful siege, Carcas - the widow of the Moorish king who had been killed in the fighting - ordered the city’s bells to be rung behind the parting troops in order to persuade them to return and make peace. One of Charlemagne’s squires gave him the news "Carcas rings" - "Carcas sonne" - hence Carcassonne. Prior to this, Lady Carcas had, however, taken the very last pig left after the five-year siege and stuffed it with the last grain in the city and hurled the fattened animal at the Emperor’s feet. The trick led Charlemagne to conclude that the city had apparently inexhaustible food reserves and that continuing the siege of the city was pointless. Iberian Celts founded the city, which is located between Montpellier and Toulouse in the south of France, in the 6th Century BC. The Romans turned the hill into a fortress by building a protective wall. The city was occupied by the Visigoths in the 5th Century AD and by the Arabs in the 8th Century: Pippin the Short finally drove them out in 759. In the 12th Century, Count Trencavel built a castle on the old Roman walls at the highest point of the hill. Carcassonne became a central pillar in the defenses on France's border with Aragon. In the Mid-13th Century, a second exterior wall was built to reinforce the old one.

Since 2015 Yemen has been in the grip of a bloody conflict as Saudi Arabia leads a coalition against Houthi insurgents in the country. Millions of people have been displaced and are facing starvation. Few images are emerging from the war-torn land. Yemeni filmmaker Khadija Al-Salami entrusted her camera to 3 children. In this documentary, the kids tell about the horrors of war in their own words.
Ahmed is 11 years old, Rima is eight and Youssef is nine. They live in Yemen, a country that is experiencing one of today’s most brutal wars and a humanitarian catastrophe. And yet most of the world community seems to be unaware of it. With a camera loaned to them by the Yemeni filmmaker Khadija Al-Salami, the three children film their everyday lives under the daily Saudi airstrikes. They record the testimonies of wounded children in hospitals and children who have lost their parents in the bombardments. Full of childish innocence, they also interview adults: a painter, a rapper and a model who was elected 'Miss War' on social media, and ask them to send a message to the only institution they believe can stop the war - the European Union. The film shows no images of violence, which makes the narrative seen through the eyes of the three kids all the more powerful. It is a story of incredible and unswerving hope: the hope that the EU will manage to put an end to the conflict.

Bangkok is a city of superlatives. This film reveals the best spots in Thailand's largest city: well-known places, and those that are known mostly to insiders. Our report provides a unique guide to Asia’s most exciting city. For transportation, visitors and local residents alike can choose from motorized rickshaws, taxis, subways, or the skytrain.
There are also express boats that ply the Chao Phraya River -- plus long-tail boats, and vessels that make their way through the city's khlongs, or canals. This journey of discovery takes us to the places where Bangkok residents go to rest and relax -- like the island of Ko Samet in the Gulf of Thailand. This is the capital's version of Wannsee Lake in Berlin. You can book a river cruise, or visit one of the trendy open-air bars perched atop high-rise buildings.
A lot of younger Bangkok residents have taken up a bold challenge in this car-friendly city: they've switched to bicycles. Many locals enjoy making a bike visit to the village-like central district, near a big bend in the river -- even when the temperature rises above 30-degrees centigrade. On the islands off the coast, there's plenty of sunshine, beautiful beaches, and clear, warm water -- a mix that attracts crowds of Bangkok residents on weekends.
