Austerity now trips off the lips of every politician. They tell us cut backs and tightening our belts are the order of the day.

Jean, Doris and Andy, who lived through the Blitz in East London give us their account of rationing and hope we’ll never have to go through this again.

French immigration minister Eric Besson has said he will clear the makeshift tents in Calais known as the ‘jungle’. This report by Onyeka Igwe, reveals the true hell of the Calais ‘jungle’ and the incredible journeys migrants have made to get there. Besson claims clearing the ‘jungle’ is a humanitarian action, this is an incredible lie. It involves clearing people who have travelled thousands of miles, who have nowhere to sleep, are mainly young kids, who have no money, no papers and no family with them. Besson’s disgraceful initiative to preserve UK border controls is guaranteed to provide further hell for the aspirant young migrants whose only crime is wanting to make a better life for themselves. Besson is not offering migrants accommodation but is promising repatriation. The charity WORLDwrite is demanding the British government immediately calls upon the French Government to stop the clearance and rounding up of migrants and lifts UK border controls to let migrants in to the UK.

How we interpret the recession and who we hold to account for it are key political and economic questions. As part of the Battle for the Economy summit organised by the Institute of Ideas, an illuminating panel discussion takes us beyond the usual suspects: the greedy bankers and consumer culture. As economist and author Phil Mullan points out, short-termist explanations that point the finger at greed do little to resolve the situation. In these edited highlights from the session, the real causes of the recession take centre stage. Panellists include: Warwick Lightfoot, economist; former special adviser to Chancellors Nigel Lawson, John Major and Norman Lemont; Phil Mullan, economist; Director of Business Transformation, Easynet; author, The Imaginary Time Bomb; Richard Portes, professor of economics, London Business School; founder and President, CEPR; Simon Nixon, European Editor, Wall Street Journals Heard on the Street columnist.

WORLDbytes correspondent Onyeka Igwe reports from Cabaret without Borders an event organised by the Manifesto Club, in opposition to the Home Offices new visa controls on visiting artists and academics. These controls have already prevented a plethora of creative visitors coming to the UK leading to concerts, exhibitions and international programmes being cancelled. Under the new rules the Home Office effectively determines international programming, what we can and cannot watch, share and experience and whose work merits a UK visit. Meanwhile numerous institutions are co-opted to police and report on visitors they are granted permission to host. This lively cabaret event sees a wide range of artists express their opposition through artistic interventions and personal testimonies. Among the artists and speakers were author Maureen Duffy, cabaret singer Barb Jungr and Josie Appleton, Convenor of the Manifesto Club.

School students participating in the Debating Matters East Regional finals in Cambridge take up the issues surrounding whats known as presumed consent for organ donation. Feisty 16 year-old debaters consider whether the idea can be justified if it saves lives or whether this would let the government off the hook for failing to campaign effectively for organ donors in the face of shortages. WORLDbytes volunteers filmed and edited this vital debate and checked out public opinion on the streets of East London.

Scientist Joe Kaplinsky aims to calm our nerves on the emotive subject of animal experimentation. To deny its usefulness, he says, shows a complete lack of understanding of the whole history of biology. Genetic engineering he tells us, allows us to learn much more from animals, like the glowing monkeys in Japan. On animal suffering, Joe points out that although its easy to project human emotions onto animals, they do not feel pain as we do and he argues, humans have a moral worth that animals do not.

WORLDbytes interviewed Ian Abley, an architect and manager of Audacity at the plotlands at Dunton, Essex where from the 1920s East End working class couples built cheap homes themselves. Could we do this now? Ian Abley argues we should collectively break the Town & Country Planning law of 1947 which made buying and building on redundant farmland, like the plotlands, illegal.

The Bitter Aftertaste casts huge doubts on the capacity of chocoholics and shopaholics to transform the lives of farmers in the developing world through their super market trolleys. Shot in Ghana and the UK, this hard hitting documentary is sure to stir more than coffee and leave a bitter taste in the mouths of those who espouse Fair Trade as a mechanism for development. The film asks the questions often thought but never asked, does Fair Trade really change anything or just make Western consumers feel good? A must see for everyone who believes the developing world deserves better.

Nuclear energy can provide the world with much of its electricity needs but many people are worried about it. Scientist Joe Kaplinsky explains what nuclear energy is and answers the four major objections to it: radioactive waste; nuclear accidents; nuclear weapons and the high expense. He concludes that we should chill out about the risks of nuclear energy and enjoy the benefits of cheap electricity.

WORLDbytes considers the explosive Immigration: the more the scarier debate at the Battle of Ideas festival. Speakers Frank Field, Labour MP for Birkenhead and co-chair of the Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration and Professor of Economics Bob Rowthorn, University of Cambridge. Both argue for clamping down on immigration. In opposition, Nathalie Rothschild, commissioning editor of spiked and organiser of the Open the Borders Campaign, with Ceri Dingle, Director at WORLDwrite make an inspiring case for freedom of movement for all.

WORLDwrite is delighted to announce the launch of WORLDbytes, its new and exciting online news channel. With the first programme showing on Friday 5th September from 7pm, the channel will be home to a monthly alternative news programme which aims to get behind the headlines and promote a people-first perspective on a wide-range of issues. From poverty in London and the vetting of volunteers, to its satirical Alien report on “humanoid activities”, the programme puts forward the case for a better life for all, challenging anti-growth sentiment and putting progressive politics firmly back on the map. As an alternative to the unimpressive mass of non-news, celebrity obsession and preoccupations with youth and their crimes, the programme credo is “don’t shout at the telly, change the message on it”.

As Westerners celebrate nature and the so-called simple life, many in the developing world yearn for the comforts of urban modernity. Shot in Ghana, we learn that many would rather live in an urban shanty town than stay stuck in subsistence life in rural areas. Subsistence life means mud huts and mind-numbing toil. Helen wants a proper job. Cephus wants a commercial farm and a Jacuzzi, not mud walls and thatch. Comfort wants her kids off the farm and into education. De Roy explains that at least in a shanty town people can have access to a clinic, menial work, electricity, drinkable water, paved roads and TVs. I'm a subsistence farmer... get me out of here! is the final documentary in the Pricking the Missionary Position series. It is packed with hard-hitting truths which may disturb Western romantic notions of rural life.

Bob Geldof visited Ghana for the TV series Geldof in Africa and wrote about it in the accompanying book, describing his crowning as the Chief of Development in a town called Ajumako-Bisease. This documentary follows in Geldof’s footsteps one year on, and finds a town still waiting to hear from him.

From small-scale projects to HIV/AIDS programmes, NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) are everywhere in the developing world. However well meaning they may be, their programmes epitomise low horizons and often get up the noses of everyone – from fishermen to shanty town inhabitants – and even make them laugh out loud. Shot in Ghana, Godbless, Wofa, De Roy and local fishermen and women loathe the peanuts offered and sanctimonious lessons in good behaviour. They want jobs and material advancement, and for NGOs and aid agencies to stop treating them like children. As Godbless tells us: "Africans have big brains, big aspirations... and want to live in liberty."
