NATO's Nuclear Dilemma
Should a new generation of American nuclear weapons - the Tomahawks - be sited on western European soil? America is urging NATO to accept the weapons as a counter to new Soviet missiles. Yet President Brezhnev has offered arms reduction talks with western Europe if NATO shelves the plan. How genuine is his offer and how should we respond?
With reports from Moscow, Bonn and London, David Jessel looks at the options.

' I enjoyed looking after pigs because they were friendly to me. At that time people were afraid of being friendly to me so the pigs seemed very sympathetic.'
Tai Ai-Lien, the premier classical dance teacher of China, like so many leading artists and writers, was sent for ' retraining' to a Cadre School for many years during the period of the ' Gang of Four'.
This film report by Philip Short , the BBC's correspondent in Peking, looks at the damage done to the arts in China by the harsh, dogmatic policies of that time and how now - with the fall of the Gang-dancers, musicians, film-makers, painters, actors and acrobats are finding new freedoms a great deal more than at any time in the last few years.
The- film unit was able to travel widely through China and to film and talk with artists of every kind, all obviously revelling in their new-found opportunities.
Written and narrated byPHILIP SHORT Film cameraman MIKE SPOONER Film editor PAUL FOXALL Producer ANTHONY ISAACS

As Civil Aviation celebrates its 60th year, this series of seven programmes examines the impact of air travel on ourselves and the world we live in. Presented by Julian Pettifer 3: Opening the Routes
This programme tells the story from the very beginning, in 1919, when airline pilots followed the railway lines and expected to make forced landings on every trip. But hazardous journeys in wood and fabric bi-planes developed into the comfort and reliability of the Empire flying-boats. The search for new passengers led to exclusive service on the ground and in the air.
Air travel today makes better sense when thrown into relief by what came before, bearing in mind that when something is gained, something else is always lost.
