Also in this edition, Morley Safer (above) reports from India on the low status of women and those who have been burned alive by husbands because their dowries fell short of expectations. The third report is on the US military's anthrax vaccine, which many servicemen believe makes them sick. Steve Kroll reports on the air force major who gave up his career by refusing to have the vaccine.
How'd They Do That? Pearl, 10.45pm Now that science has thoroughly exhausted the pursuit of debunking the supernatural, a new season of explanations of the amazing begins on Pearl, though mainly of a trivial nature. The first edition includes reports on how two racing drivers built rocket cars to race across the Nevada desert and how more than 5,000 artefacts were lifted from the wreck of the Titanic, as seen in the first scenes of James Cameron's movie. A videographer from Iceland manages to capture an event never witnessed by scientists, of a volcano erupting beneath a huge glacier.
Lifesense World, 9pm The mutually beneficial relationship between humans and their domestic animals is the focus of tonight's episode on the animals' view of life. Cattle, llamas and guinea pigs are some of the animals featured. But for the Peruvians, the latter is not a pet, but tasty Sunday lunch. The second episode looks at the bizarre stories of animals that find themselves at the centre of our species' various religions.
Dance With Me HBO, 9pm I am no fan of ballroom dance, but the quirky, seedy world of the dance-floor has generated some highly enjoyable movies, including gems from Japan (Shall We Dance) and Australia (Strictly Ballroom). This American version may not be strictly ballroom - it's salsa - but it does not disappoint. Vanessa Williams plays a tough contender who knows where to draw the line between the romance of dancing and real romance. Latin singer Chayenne (above with Williams) becomes her cute Cuban partner. Look out also for Ally McBeal's Jane Krakowski and a surprisingly cast senior dancer Joan Plowright. Kris Kristofferson, meanwhile, runs the studio.
A Brighter Summer Day Movie 2, 10.32pm Taiwanese director Edward Yang's slow, masterly reflection of growing up in 1950s Taiwan, through one boy's involvement in gang rivalry, violence and love. Beneath the personal drama is a portrait of a society in transition, at odds with the new mainland immigrants who made the island their home after the communist victory of 1949.
