Is Instagram ruining #Bali? | Foreign Correspondent
Bali is ranked as one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but is the seemingly insatiable demand for a piece of paradise threatening the very thing that makes the island so special? This week on Foreign Correspondent reporter Bill Birtles travels to Bali to see first-hand the impact cashed up foreign developers are having on the island paradise.
The demand from holiday makers and now digital nomads is turning Bali’s iconic rice paddies and coastline into construction zones. Critics say the Bali that many know and love is now at a crossroad and that over development and under regulation will change the island of the gods forever.

Sikhs, Spies and Murder: Investigating India’s alleged hit on foreign soil | Foreign Correspondent
When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood up and accused India of being behind the killing of a Sikh activist on Canadian soil last year the world took notice. To have a head of state call out another country for effectively a state sponsored assassination was eye popping. Then, months later, US authorities said an Indian agent was involved in a murder attempt on an American Sikh in New York. Now Foreign Correspondent can reveal Australian authorities are also speaking to the Sikh community here.
This week South Asia Correspondent Avani Dias travels to Punjab where tensions are high and the authorities are watching. This is the Sikh homeland where a banned separatist movement is fighting to create its own independent nation of Khalistan. Avani visits the family home of the man m...

Living Lonely and Loveless in Japan | Foreign Correspondent
Around the world more and more people are opting for the single life but in Japan, loneliness has become an epidemic. Subscribe: https://ab.co/3yqPOZ5
Marriage and childbirth rates are falling, as more and more young Japanese choose to stay single and childless. Relationships are too difficult, they say.
In the country’s last Fertility Survey, figures showed that a quarter of women in their 30s were single, and half of those weren’t interested in having a relationship.
Many Japanese adults aren’t even having sex. It’s estimated around 10% of people in their 30s are still virgins.
By 2040, it’s estimated nearly half of Japan’s population will be single.
Correspondent Jake Sturmer has reported from the ABC’s Tokyo bureau for 4 years and nothing has confounded him more than this social...

Exposing the criminal networks behind the counterfeit industry | Foreign Correspondent
Fake fashion has become big business. From Gucci to Balenciaga to sports gear and handbags, replica designer brands are everywhere. Social media platforms promote the look and facilitate the sales and if you don’t have a fake, chances are you’ll know someone who does. But most people have no idea who is behind it. International crime syndicates have established themselves in Manchester, making it the counterfeit capital of the UK with their goods flooding across Europe. Their enterprises are implicated in everything from copyright infringement to human trafficking, money laundering and even terrorism.

Italy’s 1 Euro House Dream: The renovation reality | Foreign Correspondent
For many people living in an historic town in Italy seems like an unaffordable dream. But thanks to an ambitious social experiment you can live la dolce vita in Sicily for just one euro! In this Foreign Correspondent, reporter Natalie Whiting travels to the Sicilian towns where people are arriving from all over the world to snap up abandoned houses for virtually nothing.

Is escaping North Korea really worth it? | Foreign Correspondent
They’re the refugees from North Korea’s hermit kingdom who overcome huge odds to escape to a new life in South Korea. Most of them are women and the journey they undertake is a perilous one.
Many are influenced to leave after viewing smuggled South Korean TV dramas which showcase a life of freedom and opportunity. But the reality is often very different. Instead of finding happiness they are overcome with loneliness and isolation.
On arrival, often after harrowing experiences at the hands of human traffickers, they are placed in a training school and taught how to live in the modern world, South Korean style.
Once on the outside, their accent, clothing and behaviour often make them stand out, and they struggle to assimilate, some often barely surviving.
Those who do escape are known...

In the country’s last Fertility Survey, figures showed that a quarter of women in their 30s were single, and half of those weren’t interested in having a relationship.
Many Japanese adults aren’t even having sex. It’s estimated around 10% of people in their 30s are still virgins.
By 2040, it’s estimated nearly half of Japan’s population will be single.
Correspondent Jake Sturmer has reported from the ABC’s Tokyo bureau for 4 years and nothing has confounded him more than this social crisis.
As he prepares to return to Australia, Jake sets out on a final journey to discover the forces driving this ‘Solo Society’.
He meets 29-year-old Sayaka, who works in the fashion industry. Sayaka is happily single, and not interested in getting married.
“I’m under a lot of (social) pressure but I don’t mind,” she says. “There's nothing I can’t do without a man at the moment.”
Instead, the objects of her affection are her dogs - Kogemaru, Unimaru, Rinmaru and Riko - whom she loves to spoil.
Naoya, a 32-year-old creative director for an advertising company, isn’t in a rush to get married either. He often feels lonely but hanging out with friends cheers him up.
“It’s fun drinking with my friends like this and I’m able to fill in the loneliness,” Naoya tells Jake in a cosy bar in downtown Tokyo.
Jake also explores a darker side of Japanese society, meeting a man who has opted out in an extreme way, hiding in his bedroom and avoiding society altogether. He’s what’s called a hikikomori, someone who withdrawn socially.
In Japan there are more than a million hikikomori. Jake meets the mother of one who’s become an activist, campaigning for Japanese society to be more tolerant of those who don’t fit the mould.
“People believe they need to change the people who’ve withdrawn but I think it’s exactly the opposite. I think the society should change,” she says.
Jake spends time with Masatomi, a cleaner whose job is to clear out the homes of those who die alone. Each year, tens of thousands of Japanese end their lives alone, their bodies often found after neighbours detect an odour. Masatomi is calling for Japanese people to sit up and take notice.
“It’s something that could happen to anybody including myself. I strongly feel that we need to have connections with other people. I feel outrage, why don’t they see what’s going on?"

Fake fashion has become big business. From Gucci to Balenciaga to sports gear and handbags, replica designer brands are everywhere. Social media platforms promote the look and facilitate the sales and if you don’t have a fake, chances are you’ll know someone who does. But most people have no idea who is behind it. International crime syndicates have established themselves in Manchester, making it the counterfeit capital of the UK with their goods flooding across Europe. Their enterprises are implicated in everything from copyright infringement to human trafficking, money laundering and even terrorism.
Foreign Correspondent returns with an investigation into the fake fashion business by reporter Naomi Selvaratnam. Naomi’s story takes us inside the shadowy world of the counterfeit industry. With exclusive access to one of Europe’s specialist police taskforces working to stamp out the trade, she traces the money trail and reveals the organised criminal networks running these global chains. Naomi has also gained access to world leading authenticators to see how they spot the fakes. And there’s some tips for those viewers who may want to double check their purchases.

It's the billion-dollar crime you’ve never heard of – copper theft. And it's causing chaos in South Africa. Across the country police and armed private contractors are waging war on the criminals and gangs who are cashing in on one of the world’s most sought-after metals.
On Foreign Correspondent reporter Tom Joyner embeds with South African law enforcement as they hunt down the thieves who are stealing copper from the country’s essential infrastructure. The crime is causing serious disruptions to energy supply, transportation and telecommunications. Copper is critical to the production of clean energy technology, but a global shortage is driving its price to record heights. A thriving black market for copper has emerged, encouraging criminals to risk their lives to steal it.

For many people living in an historic town in Italy seems like an unaffordable dream. But thanks to an ambitious social experiment you can live la dolce vita in Sicily for just one euro! In this Foreign Correspondent, reporter Natalie Whiting travels to the Sicilian towns where people are arriving from all over the world to snap up abandoned houses for virtually nothing.
And their arrival is helping to solve one of Italy’s biggest problems. The country has the oldest population in Europe with deaths now far outstripping births and huge numbers of young people are leaving for better work opportunities. The one-euro house scheme aims to fix the vanishing population problem by enticing new residents to reinvigorate the struggling towns.
Natalie meets the newcomers with ambitious plans of turning their rundown purchases into Italian dream homes, she talks to the locals, some of whom are still not sure about their new neighbours. And she meets the optimists who are confident an affordable real estate boom can not only breathe new life into these old towns but create a new community and forge new friendships.

They’re the refugees from North Korea’s hermit kingdom who overcome huge odds to escape to a new life in South Korea. Most of them are women and the journey they undertake is a perilous one.
Many are influenced to leave after viewing smuggled South Korean TV dramas which showcase a life of freedom and opportunity. But the reality is often very different. Instead of finding happiness they are overcome with loneliness and isolation.
On arrival, often after harrowing experiences at the hands of human traffickers, they are placed in a training school and taught how to live in the modern world, South Korean style.
Once on the outside, their accent, clothing and behaviour often make them stand out, and they struggle to assimilate, some often barely surviving.
Those who do escape are known as defectors and they rarely speak out publicly.
This week on Foreign Correspondent reporter Naomi Selvaratnam meets some of the North Korean women who are trying to make new lives for themselves in South Korea and asks them: Has their escape been worth it?

A bouquet of flowers is the go-to gift for many special occasions, but the world is paying a high price for out of season blooms, including right here in Australia.
This week on Foreign Correspondent, reporter Isabella Higgins travels to the Netherlands, the country at the centre of this trade. There, the flower industry is grappling with how to tackle the climate crisis and soaring energy costs.
But as the industry struggles to reduce its carbon footprint its also facing greater competition from low-cost alternatives. The European flower markets are under pressure from growers in Africa who are producing cheaper flowers that often end up in supermarkets in Australia.
Isabella travels to Kenya where the cheap prices we enjoy at the checkout come at the cost of workers who can least afford it.
