The Qualyub Project
Dr Mohammed el Alamy is an Egyptian scientist with a battle on his hands. He is director of the Qualyub Project-a research group trying to control bilharzia in the Nile Delta. Bilharzia is the world's second most common disease - infecting one in 20 of all human beings. This Horizon follows the team as they carry out a field trial of a new drug on 41,000 people in the villages of the Nile Delta.
DR ALAMY'S major problem is not science - it's how to cope with the vicious brain drain to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. He is fighting to establish a new generation of Egyptian health scientists. Being an Arab, operating within the Arab culture, he runs his project with rigid authority and paternalism. Can this be reconciled with Western ideas of training to be a good scientist?

A series of four programmes with Harold Evans
Editor, The Sunday Times 1: Front Page News
We now take for granted the way our newspapers look, from screaming tabloids to sober, ordered broadsheets. But behind the look of today's newspapers lies a fascinating history. HAROLD EVANS shows how, for over 300 years, ' geniuses, dullards, madmen and saints' have wrestled with the problems of newspaper design, arguing that changes in design tell us about fundamental values and priorities in societies.
