			<description><![CDATA[UNISA, the University of South Africa, has established an excellent reputation over its 138-year history. It has not only national, but global reach with students on every continent. The institution has expanded significantly since 2004, increasing enrolment figures to over 400 000 students in 2011. But questions are being asked, mainly from within the student body, as to whether this expansion has come at the cost of good governance, efficient administration and consistent standards.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Amy Good man of Democracy Now! talks to world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author Noam Chomsky about the Palestinian hunger strike. A tentative deal has reportedly been reached to end a landmark action that'a seen more than 2,000 jailed Palestinians go without food to pressure Israeli prison authorities to end the use of solitary confinement and ease a wide range of restrictions. "The hunger strikes are a protest against...violations of the elementary human rights," Chomsky says. He is Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of dozens of books, most recently, "Occupy."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Social strategist Renny Gleeson talks about the rise of a culture of availability with the proliferation of mobile devices such as cell phones -- and an obligation to that availability. In this funny and poignant 3-minute talk, Gleeson breaks down our always-on social world where the experiences of the moment are less interesting than our documentation of these moments, which we tweet about or find other ways to record and share.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The State of Israel has criminalised political dissent. There are presently more than 300 Palestinian prisoners held under administrative detention by Israeli authorities - a method used by the State of Israel to imprison Palestinians without any charges being brought against them. In solidarity with their cause, 2 500 Palestinian prisoners are currently on hunger strike. This mass protest has attracted global attention and will culminate in a daylong international solidarity hunger strike on May 17. Will the people of South Africa support the Palestinian call for justice?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Presidential elections in France and the general elections in Greece are seismic events that have significance way beyond the characters involved. After three years of austerity programmes in Europe characterised by billions of Euros worth of public money redirected towards protecting bankers and speculators who indulged in an orgy of reckless bond buying, people are simply defying an elite consensus, which declares that belt-tightening to satisfy the markets is the only sane thing to do. This time, the people won't listen. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In answer to a question from Democracy Now! presenter Amy Goodman about whether he thought former American President George Bush should be charged with war crimes. Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch responds, "There's no question. Whether it's war crimes or whether it's torture, he authorized the waterboarding, if nothing else. Waterboarding is mock execution by way of drowning. That is a classic act of torture. Bush has admitted ordering that. There is no escaping the fact that he should be a criminal suspect as should the other people in the room, people like Tenet, Rumsfeld, Cheney."]]></description>
