Title:
What's Your Pension Really Worth? Channel 4 Dispatches
Description:
Broadcaster Michael Buerk investigates a potential pensions
crisis as the cost of living rises faster than many pay
packets
and life expectancy increases. Using secret filming,
the
documentary investigates how some companies try to
'liberate' pensions early, the standard of their investment
advice and whether they are open about tax bills. Buerk also
examines the alternatives to pensions and asks if buying
property is the way to save for the future

Episode: The
Forum in Beijing: Digital China
Description:
Bridget Kendall chairs a wide-ranging discussion in Beijing
about the internet in China: with nearly 600 million Chinese
now online,
how is the spread of social media changing the
nature of their society? How much is free expression really
curtailed by the Great Firewall of China and the recent
legislation aimed at curbing the spread of 'rumours' on the
net?
And is the ability to share the minutiae of their lives
online making the young in China politically apathetic?
