The international current-affairs series returns with a special edition featuring three reports from Latin America. In October 1998, Honduras was devastated by a hurricane that killed over 10,000 and left millions homeless. Huge amounts of aid were donated by the west, but, over a year later, people remain hungry and the country's infrastructure is in tatters. Edward Stourton reports on how much of the aid money has gone to pay interest to the West's own banks. Isabel Hilton reports on attempts in Nicaragua to deal with the country's domestic violence and sexual abuse, and Tom Gibbs investigates the mystery of a lost Cuban inheritance that, legend has it, involves the Bank of England.
