Over the past few years the Netherlands and Belgium have become major hubs for drug trafficking in Europe. Almost 80% of the cocaine in Europe has passed through either Rotterdam or Antwerp. This has led to a new phenomenon: the “Mocro Mafia,” Dutch people of Moroccan origin who are engaged in the criminal underworld. The gangs started by trafficking hashish from Morocco to the Netherlands. Now they use the same routes to transport cocaine, which is far more profitable. They source drugs from the Latin American cartels and traffic the drugs into Europe. As a result, the “Mocro Mafia” is one of the richest criminal organisations in the world. The trade generates an estimated fifty billion euros in Antwerp alone – 10% of the total budget of the Belgian State. The ultra-violent “Mocro Mafia” gangs have unleashed a reign of terror. They kill lawyers, magistrates, journalists, all without a second thought. They have even threatened government ministers in Belgium and the Netherlands. Anyone who challenges their network is a potential target. The drug money is so pervasive within the economy that, according to some, Belgium and the Netherlands risk becoming narco-states. This threat has been taken very seriously by the authorities and the police. Public anxiety rose even further after the horrifying discovery of a torture chamber in a shipping container used as an ‘underworld prison’ by the gangs, as well as the murder of journalist Peter de Vries. We investigate the “Mocro Mafia,” the new ultra-violent criminal organisation which is shaking Europe.

Hitler se enfrenta a sus temores con la llegada de Eisenhower a Londres.

Series following four female pest controllers. Britain is a house-proud nation that’s increasingly sanitised. Shiny floors, deodorised rooms and immaculate surfaces tell our friends and family that our lives are under control. But what lurks beneath this glistening façade can often tell a very different story. Enter The Ladykillers, three women who between them have half a century’s experience of outwitting all creatures great and small. The animals we share our houses and gardens with fascinate them: the way they think, the way they move and their insatiable ability to adapt and survive. Although pest control is traditionally a man’s world, more women are entering the industry than ever before; indeed, many customers now request female officers, who, they believe, are friendlier and more sympathetic. Our three pest detectives tackle every case with tenacity, sensitivity and groundbreaking innovation. In a unique series that brings together the natural history of the secret life of pests with the documentary journey of families trying to get their homes and lives back on track, KEO Films and BBC Two delve deep inside the nation’s most infested homes. In each self-contained episode, set in a different county, we set our Ladykillers the challenge of tackling three very different cases from some of the most infested homes around Britain. At the heart of each programme is one dominant A story, supported by two lighter B narratives. Episode 1 0:00 A family facing the nightly terror of a bed-bug infestation calls in Imogen, who takes a scientific approach to pest control. Episode 2 59:03 In a year when clothes moths infestations are escalating, Imogen is called to one of the worst cases she has seen.

The African continent still contains numerous unexplored regions. Recently, one of these lost worlds was discovered in Cameroon, by a British researcher from the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. At the foot of a volcano, Martin Cheek discovered a dense tropical forest, miraculously preserved and full of endemic plant species. In only a few expeditions, his team managed to inventory over two hundred previously unknown plant species, including orchids, types of coffee plants, and fig-trees. Their discoveries attracted the attention of other NGO’s, including CRES, an organization dedicated to the preservation of endangered animal species. Upon exploring this region, CRES members discovered that it constituted one of the rare sanctuaries where large, silver-faced monkeys called Drills, the cousins of the Mandrill, still live. In 1996, the Drill was designated by the IUCN as the African species most in need of protection. Following the steps of the botanist, Martin Cheek, and the primatologist, Bethan Morgan, we explore the enchanting region that surrounds Mount Manengouba – a volcano that has stood dormant for millenia. There, we discover its incredible floral and faunal richness as well as landscapes straight out of an Arthur Conan Doyle novel. We also encounter the Bakossis, a native tribe which believes that each tree of the forest houses the spirit of one of its ancestors, and which fights tirelessly to preserve its region from the increasingly numerous attacks of deforestation.
