At the heart of the events which make news lie deeper concerns: the principles on which decisions are based, the effective values and beliefs which are shaping society.
In this week's filmed report, Peter France considers, with those most directly concerned, the strengths and weaknesses of the values behind this week's headlines.

A series of five programmes 4: Take a Deep Breath ...
Drug research and development is an expensive and risky business, but the rewards for success are high. In the early 60s DR ROGER ALTOUNYAN , himself an asthmatic, was trying to discover an effective treatment for asthma; using himself as a human guinea-pig, he discovered a drug which revolutionised the treatment of asthma for many patients.
It led Fisons Ltd, a company better known for its garden and agricultural fertilisers, into new markets. Twelve years after, and 2,000 compounds later, they feel they're close to another breakthrough -but they're not there yet. Commentary MICHAEL DEAN
