'Sergeant Enid on target' Although there have been women in the police for over 60 years, they still make headlines. Since the Sex Discrimination Act, policewomen have become fully integrated members of the force, tackling all the problems of our violent society on equal terms with their male colleagues.
Gill Pyrah talks to the modern policewoman about her job and her ambitions, and questions what effect the increasing number of women recruits will have on the force.

Part 1
In the late 1960s the Brazilian Government decided that it preferred cows to trees. So new legislation was used to encourage the farmers to cut down vast tracts of the Amazon rain forests - at the rate of about two-and-a-half million acres a year- As well as killing off many rare species of plant, are the Brazilians attacking what were once called the ' world's lungs ' - one of the major sources of oxvgen for the southern hemisphere?
In the first of two programmes, Anthony Smith reports from the cattle farms of Brazil, and asks: what has happened to the forests?
