At 8pm, check out the second in a 4-part series about modern terrorism called Age of Terror:
While political violence has always been with us, in the late 1960s it came of age. Terrorists, realizing the power of the media, began to hijack planes and target civilians. The Age of Terror was born. Presented by Peter Taylor, four key episodes are re-examined to pinpoint the seismic shifts in the war between the terrorist and the state. Using new disclosures and analysis from key participants and insiders, some speaking for the first time, each film charts the rise of terror in our society. Stories start with Entebbe – the hostage drama that gripped the world in 1976, through to the American embassy bombings and the birth of the Al Qaeda movement in 1998.
At 9pm, we air the first in a 3-part series called Paris, which is a show about just that. Parisian and historian Sandrine Voillet takes you on a tour of the city, offering a mix of cultural history, travel tips, and insight into contemporary Parisian life.
