Phil Rees reports from Kosovo, the Balkan province where a tragedy even greater than the Bosnian conflict threatens to unfold. Although only ten per cent of its people are Serbs, it is under Serbian rule and the majority Albanian population are fighting for independence.
President Slobodan Milosevic chose Kosovo as the starting point for his campaign of ethnic hatred over a decade ago, and historically the province is a proud Serbian stronghold. For the Serbs, a potentially horrific war against the Kosovo Liberation Army represents their last chance to exert military power after defeats in Croatia and Bosnia.

Muhammad Ali : More Than Just a Boxer?
In 1964, Cassius Clay delivered two knockout punches to
America. He beat Sonny Liston , against all the expectations, for the heavyweight title. The very next day he announced he was rejecting his "slave name" and embracing the black militant organisation, the Nation of Islam. He then persistently refused to be drafted to
Vietnam. Revenge was swift. Branded a traitor, he received the maximum jail sentence and the withdrawal of his licence.
Narrated by actor
Laurence Fishburne , with contributions from boxers Floyd Patterson and Ernie Terrell , and entertainer
Harry Belafonte.
Producer Martin Davidson
