Saving the Ozone Layer: a Profitable Business?
Environment ministers from 56 nations have been meeting in London this week to review the Montreal Protocol - an international agreement to phase out the chlorofluorocarbon gases, or CFCs, acknowledged to be destroying the earth's ozone layer. The world's major producers of CFCs are fast developing substitute gases which are claimed to be ozone friendly. Billions of pounds are at stake and experts believe this is distorting priorities. Public Eye asks whether the need for business profitability is preventing the development of cheaper and environmentally safer alternatives. With Peter Taylor and ian Breach.

Six films about artists struggling for the future of their homelands, often facing opposition.
Israel. As the political turmoil in Israel grows, the clear voices of writers and thinkers - like best selling author A B Yehoshua - become increasingly important. The 1967 war forced Yehoshua to confront his responsibility as a writer and to articulate through his characters the dilemmas of his nation. His conclusions about how to achieve peaceful co-existence with the Palestinians are immensely unpopular with his government, but perhaps, as a much-loved writer, his voice can be heard above the clamour of politicians.

In a sleepy Czech provincial town at the turn of the century Antonin Dura runs a small riverside bathing establishment. With his friends Abbe Roch and Major Hugo he leads a quiet, complacent existence until the arrival of the tightrope walker Arnostek and his beautiful assistant Anna.

Director and writer Jiri Menzel takes a wry, affectionate look at the foibles of human nature in this humorous story full of nostalgia for the lost summers of long ago.
