Fuel smugglers between Iran and Pakistan

Newsday

Available for 16 days

The 麻豆社 has gained rare access to the motorbike couriers who smuggle millions of litres of illegal Iranian fuel across the mountains into Pakistan. The riders risk their lives for tiny profits. Iran has told Israel to stop its attacks in southern Lebanon, or face what it called a hard response. And we speak to an Iraqi football fan on what it feels like to return to the world cup tournament after 40 years. Presenters: James Copnall and Barbara Plett Usher (Photo: Pakistani fuel smuggler in in Balochistan, Pakistan. Credit: 麻豆社).
