The Incas
Until their conquest by the Spanish in the 16th century, the Incas built up a 2,000-mile empire, with cities perched on mountaintops, irrigated terraces clinging to the sides, and a network of roads carved through some of the most difficult terrain in the world-all in less than a century.
Today archaeologists are digging behind the myths and legends that surround the Incas to discover how their enormous empire was actually run. Dr John Hyslop is studying the road system, probably the most extensive ancient road system in the world. Dr Craig Morris is studying the administrative centres and Dr Ann Kendall is excavating near the most spectacular of all Inca sites - Machu Pichu. But can their research do more than tell us about the Incas, can they also help to re-populate areas of Peru which once flourished, but where now only a few families live in extreme poverty?

Investigates, Discovers. Questions This week: Short, Sharp Shock
It will take the laugh off their faces - and about time.
It's just red meal thrown to the blue rinses.
Two reactions to the Home Secretary's recent proposal to restore, experimentally, the punishment known as ' short, sharp shock '. Its aims are simple: for a short time life is made so tough that young offenders will be both punished and then, deterred for life.
But will it work? The plan's opponents say that if you put a teenage criminal behind bars (and the number has trebled in ten years) you will neither reform nor deter him - between 60 per cent and 80 per cent will be back again within a year. So what's the answer?
On film and in the studio. David Calder , Michael Dean , Jack Pizzey and Nick Ross put that question, to both sides.
