American agriculture is drowning in a sea of debt.
Farmers owe the banks over $200 billion, dwarfing the national debt of many third world countries. Yet with crop prices at a 50-year low, interest goes unpaid, putting thousands of farmers out of business and threatening America's whole banking system.
This second special report on farming in the United States searches for solutions to the deepening crisis and asks: 'Will it happen here?' Producer MARTIN SMALL BBC Pebble Mill

Continues the BBCtv tribute to Cary Grant who died last year.
Today with Joan Fontaine

Sensitive society girl Lina McLaidlaw marries popular man-about-town Johnnie Aysgarth. At first they are happy but when she discovers he is an embezzler and perhaps a murderer she begins to fear for her own life.
This was the first of four films which Grant made with Hitchcock and it provided him with one of his finest roles. Equally memorable is Joan Fontaine who won an Academy Award for her performance.

The Madonna of Medjugorje The Virgin Mary appears on a hillside in a remote village in Yugoslavia. Six children see her, touch her and hear her voice. She says she has come as the Queen of Peace. She urges believers to pray, fast and do penance. She says that the West has lost God and that Russia will come to glorify the Lord.
The local clergy dismiss the children's story, but soon huge crowds are gathering on the hill. The police move in, fearful that the religious stirrings are a sign of counter-revolution among the Catholic population.
Gradually the testimony of the child visionaries wins over their families and friends. The parish priest becomes a believer.
Supernatural signs are seen in the area; healings are reported and the crowds keep coming. Within six years
Medjugorje shows signs of becoming another Lourdes - with the differences that it has all happened in a Marxist country, and that the apparitions are still going on to this day.
