When the Crusaders returned from the East, they did not come home empty-handed. Carpets and metalwork, nougat and incense - the world of Islam had much to offer to backward places such as Britain.

A series by Global Report about eight individuals who have come to realise there is, indeed, only one earth.
2: Valley of Heart's Delight
Lorraine Ross lives in Silicon Valley, California. Once the largest orchard in the world, it's become the fastest growing city in America, with more millionaires than Texas. In 1981 Lorraine's third daughter, Juliana, was born with severe heart defects. It was one of a series of miscarriages, stillbirths and deaths among her neighbours -just why, was a mystery. It wasn't until an anonymous letter arrived at the local newspaper that Lorraine began to suspect the reasons behind the tragedies on her street.

Larry Rivers
This week the electronic paintbox is handed over to one of the major names in American contemporary art. Larry Rivers started his career in the late 50s, at the beginning of pop art. Since then he's become a sculptor, adaptor of found objects and photographs, and a portraitist of international repute. In his time he's also been a jazz musician, and a winner of the famous TV quiz The$64, 000 Dollar Question.
During his two days on the Quantel Paintbox, Rivers uses found images - a cigar box, a holiday snap - to create delicate pictures, like watercolours. He also works from a live model - pop musician Green from the group Scritti Politti who sits for his portrait.

With Duncan Campbell.

4: Skywatch

Are Britain's defences as good as they should be? Successive governments have hidden the fact that every major new radar system since 1945 has been a failure. Three separate billion pound projects have gone wrong - in complete secrecy.

Radar was once a great British invention. How well have we done with it since?
Duncan Campbell takes viewers inside the secret control centres which have run Britain's radar defences from the 1940s through to the 1980s - and reports from a fortified new headquarters being built for the 1990s and beyond.
Six months ago the Government had to write off the Nimrod early warning aircraft, with the loss of nearly a billion pounds and thousands of jobs. An
American design is being bought instead. And another billion pounds is now being spent rebuilding the RAF's ground radar defence network. Will everything work properly this time?
