This week Dateline invites you to be a fly on the wall, as those hell-bent on disrupting the Olympic Torch Relay plan — and execute — their protests. Video Journalist David Brill was in New Delhi the day before and the day of the protests. His was the only camera allowed to film with the protestors. Demonstrators lead Brill through a series of twisting alleyways on the outskirts of the capital before he is allowed into a dark and murky apartment — the war room. Here, the protestors pour over maps of the city, plan their strategy, find out where the police plan to be and build up their numbers. Also Dateline catches up with newly elected Italian politicians, Nino Randazzo and Marco Fedi. George Negus asks the MPs how they're going to represent, and inspire, the Italians in their constituency. Have the pair been handed their dream jobs? Or a political nightmare? Also Video Journalist David O'Shea reports from Malaysia, where the racial balance of power may have changed forever. Racial tensions run high in the Asian nation, with the divide between Hindu Indians and Muslim Malays widening. Many Indians accuse the government of oppression after decades of economic and social policies which favour ethnic Malays.
