International Snooker Snooker's increasing unpredictability was never better illustrated than in the afternoon's second round. Cliff Thorbum ,
Dean Reynolds , David Taylor , Kirk Stevens , Ray Reardon and Joe Johnson are all absent from the Hexagon, thanks to the attentions of some very promising qualifiers. As a result, ROBERT CHAPERON or STEPHEN HENDRY , and PADDY BROWNE , or MARK BENNETT will be having the biggest afternoon of their relatively short snooker careers.
NEAL FOULDS and WILLIE THORNE will be hoping that everything was totally predictable in their section.
DAVID VINE introduces frames from both matches from the Hexagon, Reading.

The Mekong
In the last of this BAFTA award-winning series
William Shawcross travels up the Mekong - 'the river of solidarity' according to the Vietnamese. But he found no easy passage. Vietnamese officials were suspicious of his motives and anxious for his safety. His journey began in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, and took him by local ferry and gunboat to Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, and on by military helicopter to the magnificent ruins of Angkor Wat, now a war zone. Written and presented by WILLIAM SHAWCROSS

Hundreds of people fleeing persecution in the Third World reach Europe every day. There are currently 250,000 refugees seeking asylum in the West, and the doors are being closed. In late September 20,000 refugees, travelling in 600 buses, were turned back at the Bulgarian border to an uncertain fate. Is Europe right to deny sanctuary? Can it afford to help refugees? Can it afford not to? As Europe comes increasingly close to breaching its obligations under the United Nations Convention on Refugees, Anna Ford examines the issues involved and chairs a discussion with refugees, politicians and international relief organisations.

What's your poison and what's its price?
For most of us the 'poison' is alcohol in ever increasing quantities. The price to the purchaser has become relatively cheaper, so it's not surprising consumption has doubled since the war.
But what we don't pay in tax on drink, we do pay for in damaged health and alcohol-related crime. In last week's programme, Brass Tacks showed how successive governments have refused to take action to cut alcohol consumption.
Tonight Junior Health

A series of films on the way we live now.
Rescue
They are on call day and night, in all weathers.
The work is demanding, dangerous and disruptive. None of them is paid. The
Lochaber Mountain Rescue
Team is there to save lives in some of Britain's wildest terrain, the Scottish
Highlands that surround Ben Nevis.
They have to be ready for some tough and unexpected assignments. It is winter-time, the weather hazardous. One day the quest is for a suspected heart attack victim in a lonely glen.
The next, they join an RAF helicopter crew to winch an injured climber off the mountainside. Yet another call-out sends them searching through the black night to reach students stranded on 'the Ben'.
The 32 men who make up the rescue team are a diverse group - teachers, workers at the paper mill, a carpet fitter. But all are keen mountaineers, with strong loyalties. When the alarm is raised, they down tools and head for the hills.
