| Iranian Embassy Siege 1980 |
 |
In 1980 gunmen held 26 people hostage at the
Iranian embassy in London. After several days
the SAS anti terrorist team went in and
rescued the hostages and killed the gunmen.
Notice how they all talked so posh on the TV
in those days.

| Sarajevo Under Siege - Bosnia |
 |
August 1992
A remarkable report filmed during the Bosnian
coflict.
We travelled with a convoy over the mountains
to besieged Sarajevo in war-torn Bosnia to
film UN peacekeeping forces moving in to
secure the runway at Sarajevo airport, inside
Serbian territory. On the outskirts of
Sarajevo, where families survive on little
more than nettle soup, ordinary people say
they need someone who will make peace - not
keep the peace. A Bosnian Croat major tells
of how small groups of fighters are verging
on banditry. Meanwhile Serb artillery shells
pound the suburb of Dobrinja. A damaged
mosque illustrates the conflict. Includes
footage of the airport under siege.

| Venice Under Siege - Italy |
 |
March 1996
Fires, floods, pollution and depopulation all
threaten Venice - Italy today. The
picturesque sights of sun glinting on the
waves, elegant villas and ornate bridges are
rarely associated with oil spills, petrol
refineries and other hazards that pollute the
lagoon. Neither would tourists expect to see
noisy diggers dredging up mud from the canal
floor in an attempt to protect buildings from
flood damage. More worrying is the
possibility that Venice will turn into
nothing more than a touristic showpiece.
Local families are leaving Venice for an
easier life on the mainland. Survivors like
the Farinati family live in a city where
there are no cars, no supermarkets and very
few schools. Mr Farinati, who runs a glass
restoration business, has to heave sheets of
glass off a boat, along a wood plank and then
through a window before he can start work.
Tourists in Venice far outnumber the
residents. Venetians are an endangered
species and their survival depends upon
finding a solution to the many problems.
