As economic union looms for the two Germanies, Nisha Pillai reports on the impact that instant capitalism will have on the east. East Germans voted for union because of the promise of the lifestyles of Europe's most successful capitalists, but their first experience of capitalism will be a very chill competitive wind. The scale of closures and unemployment now being contemplated in the east makes
Britain's industrial shake-out in the early 80s seem minor in comparison. How will the Germans cope?

Emas - High Plains of Brazil
Where else in the world does a rodent grow as big as a pig, a snake as long as your living room and an anteater have a tongue the length of your arm?
Emas National Park provides sanctuary to these and other rare and bizarre creatures of the cerrados - Brazil's grasslands.
This portrait of the park unravels some of its mysteries: why ferocious ants tolerate thieving intruders; why termite mounds glow eerily at night; and why anteaters wander incessantly over the plains. Narrated by Barry Paine. Producer Richard Matthews (R)

The last of four films about living music in the Soviet Union.
Giving Voice. 'Pure music should be pure music but we bear the stigma of the past.' That is how one young Russian composer explains the nature of the artist's task in a changing country. Giving voice - bearing witness - has always been a powerful element in Russian culture and it remains so today.
In this film composers describe the special and different qualities of contemporary music in their country - its symbolism and its profoundly religious nature.
With Alfred Schnittke ,
Edison Denisov , Dmitri Smirnov , Elena Firsova , Leonid Grabovsky and many others.
