After more than 75 years, Vicente Montejano tells us in first person his 14 years experience Russian Gulag after the end of the Spanish Civil War. Vicente is the last survivor of a group of 12 young Republican pilots who were surprised by the end of the war while making war aviation course in Kirovabav, in the former USSR. We know the story of Vicente Montejano, from his arrival to Russia, happening through the end of the Civil War and its transfer to the concentration camps of Siberia during the Second World War until its repatriation to Spain in the middle of the 50s in full Francoist repression. Through his story, we will know another piece of our recent history and the ravages of a war that marked the destiny of a country for 40 years. Thanks to Vicente Montejano, we will know the history of 'EL ÚLTIMO AVIADOR'

John Pilger investigates the effects of sanctions on the Iraqi civilian population and reveals that the ten years of extraordinary isolation, enforced by Britain and the US and imposed by the United Nations, has resulted in a higher number of deaths compared with the WWII atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq highlights the misery caused to the people of Iraq by the illegal bombing campaign carried out by the UK and US in the nation's northern and southern 'no-fly zones'. The outcomes of these sanctions were that a large number of Iraqi citizens were delayed or denied access to medicine and drugs, along with medical supplies and equipment. This caused their cultural life, health and education to decline significantly, with the young and the poor coming off worst of all. Several members of the UN, including Assistant Secretary-General Dennis Halliday and Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq Hans Von Sponeck, resigned as a result. Paying the Price exposes the chilling reason for the delays: that medical equipment and medicines could be used by the Saddam Hussein's regime to create 'weapons of mass destruction', a claim later proven to be false after the Second Gulf War. This was also the reason for the largely hidden bombing campaigns of the UK and US against the people of Iraq while Saddam Hussein and his associates lived in luxury under the protection of Western governments that were eager to keep him in power to protect their oil interests.
