Vrije mensen-land
In this episode Ruben and Jelle explore Kazakhstan, the largest country in Central Asia. The country faces a major dilemma: after hundreds of years of occupation, how do you steer your own course without offending its big neighbors Russia and China?
Tikkende tijdbom
Centraal-Azië kent eindeloze vlaktes, valleien en steppen, maar ook een aantal van de hoogste bergen ter wereld. Zo heeft Pakistan ruim 7000 gletsjers; er is geen land waar er meer zijn. Het zijn tikkende tijdbommen. Door de steeds hogere temperaturen smelten de gletsjers sneller dan ooit. Ruben Terlou is in het noorden waar overstromingen regelmatig hele dorpen wegvagen. In de provincie Sindh, de voedselkamer van Pakistan, ziet hij hoe verwoestend de gevolgen van de overstromingen zijn voor de miljoenen mensen die er wonen.

After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician's nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. Saint-Pierre is a police procedural with French star Joséphine Jobert as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy rounding out the stellar team. As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
