Bahrainis Go Wild On Google Earth
Why the government has tried to stop Bahrainis looking at their country on Google Earth
In the runup to the Bahrain elections, using Google Earth became a national pastime for the people. The government tried to block it, but Bahrainis got round the block and can still surf the hidden parts of their kingdom. So why are they so obsessed?
Also on the programme: The show looks at the American women who like to cover up as the Modesty Movement spreads. Plus, who'd live in a 'real' version of Lord Of The Rings' home for hobbits, The Shire?
