Italy's fascination with prime-time porn. Why televison there treats women like sex toys.
A suitcase full of cash. A suspect singing like a canary. Did a foreign government try to buy Argentina's election?
In China, Deng Senshan spent all his time on the internet. So his parents sent him to boot camp, where the cure proved fatal.
Meanwhile, in Cuba, very few are allowed to go on it. We'll hear from some enterprising webheads dodging state control.

The many ways Canadians bring you the world.
An all-Canadian effort, starting with a Calgary reporter in search of fossil thieves thwarting Canadian scientists in the Gobi Desert.
Then, a Canadian back from working in Tajikistan, which he describes as the Sopranos run by Fred Flintstone but too important to ignore.
We have a Canadian documentary-maker who bought himself a little piece of heaven in Nicaragua and found himself in a world of land craziness.
And, a Syrian-Canadian who took in Ladies Hour at the ancient Bath of Roses in Damascus, where they still dip like the Romans did.
Finally, a CBC journalist recalls going for gold in the Defend-Canada-From-The-British-Media Olympics. No place for false starts.
