RT Doc visits Angeles City in the Philippines, an infamous and popular sex tourism destination. The city is home to many children conceived by foreign holiday makers who took what they wanted and left offspring in their wake.

14 women on a sail boat, but this is no pleasure cruise. The Sea Dragon is taking them on a scientific expedition to the Caribbean. On a mission to explore the extent of plastic pollution in the Atlantic Ocean, their main focus is the proliferation of micro-plastic that poisons fish and can harm humans. They also hope to educate children about how to reduce the use of plastic.

Since the start of Ukraine's military operation, thousands of volunteer activists have rushed to Donbass, to aid both the defenders and civilians.

What motivates them to risk everything to help others?

Life in Tultepec revolves around pyrotechnics. Producing hand-made fireworks is a passion, an art form, and a source of livelihood for most residents of this Mexican town. But it’s also an extremely dangerous and unpredictable occupation, as those orphaned or widowed by fiery accidents will attest. Meet those willing to risk their lives for their explosive craft as RTD visits Tultepec’s annual pyrotechnics festival.

Their stories give insight into the reasons for his demise and his legacy in Bolivia. 

In summer 2014, fighting began in Southeast Ukraine, as Ukraine’s armed forces were tasked to subdue the rebellious region of Donbass. Debaltsevo, which is a vital railway junction, together with Uglegorsk — a town a few kilometres away — were a wedge in the Donetsk People’s Republic, cutting Donetsk off from the main road to another major city in the region — Lugansk. Gaining control over Debaltsevo was strategically important both to the militia and the government forces. The militia was defending the territory, desperately trying to maintain the link between the two rebel capitals.

After starting the special operation in Ukraine, every day saw new sanctions against Russia. Sanctions as an enforcement tool have been used on our country and others. Sanctions are imposed on a country’s economy when neither political pressure nor military intervention is likely to succeed. What is the plausible outcome of the current economic situation? What will the long term effect of sanctions have on the world economy?

British Press TV correspondent Johnny Miller came to Ukraine to provide an unbiased account of the conflict in Donbass. However, after he sent a journalistic inquiry, he was immediately placed on a “Myrotvorets” kill list by Ukrainian nationalists. And this is not a rare case.

When the nuclear arms race between the United States and the USSR began, it became clear that tanks can withstand an atomic blast.

Afghanistan has the worst humanitarian crisis in the world at the moment. The economy is ruined, and the currency is losing its value.

Do these girls have any other choice?

Who is behind the creation of the state of Ukraine? Who devised the language for the new nation? How was an entire state formed to counter and curtail Russia? Why does Poland continue to wage proxy wars against Russia till this day? Watch the documentary to witness firsthand how and upon whose ideas the country was formed throughout centuries.

Much of El Salvador is gripped by gang violence. Turf is divvied up between two warring gangs. Children as young as eight are recruited. Many see no choice in life but to join and take up a life of crime.  But some ex-gang members and youth find refuge with a volunteer ambulance corps called the ‘Rescue Commandos’. To save lives, these dauntless paramedics brave neighbourhoods where even the police won’t go.

Russian physicists are undertaking the NICA mega-science project at a research centre in Dubna. The scientists build Nuclotron — a booster that will have charged particles fly towards each other at extra high speeds and then collide. These experiments will help go back to the past, bring state-of-the-art technologies into the future and answer age-old questions about what the universe is made of and how it was formed.
