- World Without Water
  
  As the 21st Century begins as the Age of Drought, a look at three places--Florida, China, and Nevada--where dryness has gone big. In Florida, the world's most famous swamp, the Everglades, has been turning into a salt flat. In China, vast problems with water pollution have been compounded in some areas by problems of having no water. And Nevada's Lake Mead, once the largest reservoir in the world, now is given a 50% chance of drying up completely in the next dozen years.

- China's Wild West
  
  Unlike their Hollywood friendly brethren, the Tibetans, the Uighurs of northwestern China, claim to be an oppressed minority group that no one has ever heard of. That is, unless the Chinese government publicizes an attack by Uighur insurgents, such as the one that killed 16 Chinese police officers on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. In this Vanguard report, Laura Ling travels to the wild-west frontier in China's Gobi Desert, an area the Chinese named Xinjiang, or New Land, but a place many Uighurs believe should be an independent Uighur nation. Unlike their Hollywood friendly brethren, the Tibetans, the Uighurs of northwestern China, claim to be an oppressed minority group tha... more

- Scarf Wars
  
  Turkey, with 70 million people, the majority of them being Muslim, has long been seen as a leading example of western values co-existing with Islam. To achieve that, Turkey has enforced an extreme separation of religion and government, even to the point of banning the wearing of the traditional Muslim headscarf by government employees and university students. But Turkeys new ruling party is headed by men whose wives wear headscarves and who are trying to roll back the ban on headscarves. Although they arent proposing any other changes to Turkeys enforced secularism, the issue of the scarf has touched off a cultural war inside Turkey, one that could have a larger impact on how Islam and the West co-exist. Turkey, with 70 million people, the majority of them being Muslim, has long been seen as a leading example of western values co-existi... more

- Lost in Democracy
  
  Hidden near the Himalayas between India and Tibet, the kingdom of Bhutan has long been shrouded in mystery. Sometimes called the last Shangri-La, its a lushly forested land where people wear traditional robes, where policy is guided by Gross National Happiness, and where Tantric Buddhist saints are celebrated with paintings of gigantic penises. But Bhutan is on the verge of change. This year, it will transform itself from an absolute monarchy to a parliamentary democracy a move that leaves many young Bhutanese puzzled and uneasy. When His Majesty first informed us he was going to change the government, there were lots of people who couldnt speak, says one activist. They wished it was just a dream. Current Correspondent Christof Putzel travels to Bhutan to find out how young people are dealing with democracy, westernization, and other challenges to their unique national culture. Hidden near the Himalayas between India and Tibet, the kingdom of Bhutan has long been shrouded in mystery. Sometimes called the last... more
