If there is one city in the world where you might expect to find happiness, it is Anaheim, California. It is the home of Disneyland, the second most popular amusement park in the world. From Anaheim Disney has for decades been selling an image of phantasy to millions of visitors every year. But over the summer, anger that had been growing in communities living in the shadows of this multi-billion dollar tourist industry began spiralling out of control. In July 2012, two young Latino men were shot and killed by Anaheim police. What followed was some of the worst civil unrest this city has ever seen. Protests against police brutality were met with riot-clad gear police and rubber bullets, further fuelling violence and bringing national attention to the home of Disneyland. The images shocked the country but left unanswered questions: Why did it happen? Will it happen elsewhwere in the US? And are there two Anaheims? Fault Lines examines the underlying causes of the recent unrest in Anaheim. 2027235823001: Anaheim: A tale of two cities Wed, 12 Dec 2012 08:30:24 +0300 1450 violence,Fault Lines,Faultlines,Latino communities US,US social unrest,California,Sebastian Walker,anaheim unrest,anaheim,US unrest,youtube,anaheim protest,disneyland,aljazeera,Police Brutality <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/o7GwxiVfcc4" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2027378855001_WEB-FL-1122-11.mp4 Al Jazeera English With the US looking to ease its reliance on foreign oil, Fault Lines investigates the impact of 'fracking'. For years now, the United States has tried to lower its dependence on foreign oil for its energy needs. With stability in the Middle East in question, drilling at home has never been more attractive, but it often comes at a cost. Natural gas extraction - fracking - is being touted as the answer. The way fracking is taking place, there are questions being asked about the process and its implications. 1980738067001: Fracking in America Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:11:29 +0300 1413 al Jazeera,america,natural gas,youtube,energy independence,us,Faultlines,aljazeera,fracking,oil,middle east <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/3URzf3PNQNY" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1980790736001_WEB-FL-0835-21.mp4 Al Jazeera English Fault Lines travels to the Arctic Circle to investigate the impact a resource rush might have on local communities. Fault Lines looks at the potential environmental impact of resource extraction in the Arctic, and what that might mean for the people who live there. The UN has imposed a 2013 deadline for the submission of scientific claims to the Arctic seabed. It is the precursor to a resource boom which would see Canada, the US, Russia, Norway and Greenland all attempt to exploit the region's resources. These Arctic countries are desperately mapping out their territories so they can tap into the fossil fuels and minerals locked beneath the fast melting ice. And with global warming speeding up the melting of the Polar ice caps, potential shipping routes are opening up - raising concerns about oil spills, and control over these new passageways. Fault Lines' Josh Rushing heads to the Far North to see first-hand how Arctic countries are responding to the potential bonanza. 1967548205001: The Battle for the Arctic Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:16:45 +0300 1408 josh rushing,resources,natural resources,Fault Lines,youtube,greenland,Faultlines,arctic,aljazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/WCdsVhBy_Ho" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1967640315001_WEB-FAULT-1713-13.mp4 Al Jazeera English Fault Lines explains why Obama won, and asks if the system is truly democratic. It was a long and bitter race that lasted months and cost at least $2.5bn. This episode of Fault Lines takes viewers through a tour of the US 2012 presidential campaign, from the high and low moments, to the Spin Room, to the noisy campaign ads that blanketed swing states. 1954484097001: How the White House was Won Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:54:25 +0300 1495 Washington,Barack Obama,Faultlines,Florida,mitt romney,al Jazeera,election2012,us president,US2012,White House,youtube,aljazeera,chicago <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/pzN1sH6zTLY" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1954884939001_WEB-FL-0942-08.mp4 Al Jazeera English Fault Lines travels to the Republican and Democratic National Conventions and asks what the spectacle is worth. The United States is in the midst of its most expensive election season ever. It is not what Washington pundits mean when they say that this year's presidential race will be won or lost on the economy. 1834763372001: Conventions 2012: The Price of the Party Wed, 12 Sep 2012 12:17:32 +0300 1499 Democratic Convention,Barack Obama,Tampa,Faultlines,us,Florida,north carolina,mitt romney,al Jazeera,US2012,youtube,White House,washington dc,charlotte,republican convention,aljazeera,US 2012 <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/yALRKJ-0PyU" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1835138923001_WEB-FL-conventions--0929-12.mp4 Al Jazeera English Owning a home has long been integral to the American dream, but since the foreclosure crisis that dream has turned sour. The US' housing bubble burst nearly six years ago, but the worst may be yet to come. After a landmark settlement, the major banks have lifted a freeze on foreclosures and government relief has been too small to make a difference. 1821742824001: For sale: The American dream Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:18:27 +0300 1480 us housing market,mortgage,eviction,Faultlines,us,Obama,mitt romney,al Jazeera,foreclossures,US2012,youtube,real estate,aljazeera,us housing crisis <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/d86OWEZxRzw" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1821786124001_WEB-FL-1306-04.mp4 Al Jazeera English Fault Lines investigates the forces behind the so-called war on women in the US.

The election of the first black US president offered hope to millions of African Americans across the country. But have four years of an Obama presidency seen positive change for black communities in the US' inner cities? Fault Lines' Sebastian Walker spends time with those on the front lines of the failed drug war to understand some fundamental dynamics of race, poverty, incarceration and economic truths in the US in an election year. 1796007561001: Baltimore: Anatomy of an American City Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:12:21 +0300 1451 US incarceration,Barack Obama,school-to-prison pipeline,Fault Lines,us crime,war on drugs,Faultlines,us prisons,US discrimination,african americans,Baltimore,us poverty,Sebastian Walker,youtube,US election,aljazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/EOPfXzuLPF8" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1796038166001_WEB-FL-balt--0805-21.mp4 Al Jazeera English Fault Lines investigates a widespread campaign of killings in Honduras. Is the US lending financial support to a police force and army linked to a campaign of extra-judicial killings? Honduras has become the newest front in the US war on drugs in Latin America. The US has provided financial support for both the police and the military there in spite of its deep corruption issues. Furthermore, members of both institutions have been linked to a range of killings. Political dissidents, human rights workers and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community have all been killed at alarming rates. In May, a mission in the Moskitia region, which was led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), left four innocent civilians killed and four others wounded. It was followed by two more incidents where a US DEA agent shot and killed an alleged drug trafficker. Local communities have demanded a thorough investigation but so far nothing has been done. The US has a long and controversial history in Honduras. In the 1980s, the US built a base there and trained an elite Honduran military unit. That unit went on to carry out tortures, kidnappings and killings. Who is responsible? What should be the role of the US in Honduras? And what happened that night in the Moskitia when a US raid ended up leaving innocent people dead? Fault Lines travels to Honduras, the country with the highest homicide rate in the world, to find out. 1782687877001: The US and Honduras Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:36:31 +0300 1470 Honduras killings,Honduras,Fault Lines,youtube,Honduras drugs,Zeina Awad,war on drugs,US policy,Honduras violance,Faultlines,aljazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/h4-HjBvBnvI" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1782701186001_WEB-FAULT-Hond-1807-12.mp4 Al Jazeera English Are US authorities increasingly trying to limit user freedom on the internet in the name of national security? In January 2012, two controversial pieces of legislation were making their way through the US Congress. SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, were meant to crack down on the illegal sharing of digital media. The bills were drafted on request of the content industry, Hollywood studios and major record labels. The online community rose up against the US government to speak out against SOPA, and the anti-online piracy bill was effectively killed off after the largest online protest in US history. But it was only one win in a long battle between US authorities and online users over internet regulation. SOPA and PIPA were just the latest in a long line of anti-piracy legislation US politicians have passed since the 1990s. "One of the things we are seeing which is a by-product of the digital age is, frankly, it's much easier to steal and to profit from the hard work of others," says Michael O'Leary, the executive vice-president for global policy at the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The US government says it must be able to fight against piracy and cyber attacks. And that means imposing more restrictions online. But proposed legislation could seriously curb freedom of speech and privacy, threatening the internet as we know it. Can and should the internet be controlled? Who gets that power? How far will the US government go to gain power over the web? And will this mean the end of a free and global internet? Fault Lines looks at the fight for control of the web, life in the digital age and the threat to cyber freedom, asking if US authorities are increasingly trying to regulate user freedoms in the name of national and economic security. 1772932390001: Controlling the web Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:09:53 +0300 1472 Sebastian Walker,Fault Lines,youtube,cyber terrorism,censorship internet,US internet,us,Faultlines,cyber attacks,aljazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/faultlines/~4/XY3YPhG6UKo" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1772947029001_WEB-FAULT-Net-1107-5.mp4 Al Jazeera English In a special two-part series, Fault Lines travels across Iraq to take the pulse of a country and its people after nine years of foreign occupation and nation-building. In keeping with Barack Obama's presidential campaign promise, the US has withdrawn its troops from Iraq and by the end of 2012 US spending in Iraq will be just five per cent of what it was at its peak in 2008.
