With four million births per year, Pakistan is poised to become the world's fourth most populous nation in just under 40 years. With the exploding population come questions about religion, culture and where the two intersect. Conservative religious leaders equate "family planning" with murder, but maternal-health activists say the claims of religious conservatives serve a cultural and political goal. Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab reports from Lahore on whether the personal is becoming politicised in a nation where 70 per cent of women do not use any form of birth control.

2011 was a game changing year for the international response to AIDS and HIV, according to the latest report by the United Nations. The UN says there is is unprecedented scientific progress while political leadership is generating real results. New HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths have fallen to the lowest levels since the peak of the epidemic around five years ago. The number of people dying of AIDS fell to to 1.8 million in 2010, down from a peak of 2.2 million around 2005. At the end of 2010, an estimated 34 million people were living with HIV worldwide, up 17% from 2001. The fight against AIDS has been particularly successful in sub-Saharan Africa, like here in in Rwanda. Sub-saharan Africa remains the region most heavily affected by HJIV. With 68 percent of all HIV infections worldwide. The UN report says there is a notable decline in the rate of new infections. South Africa remains severely affected with an estimated 5.6 million HIV patients. The number of people living with HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia has nearly tripled during the last decade. Russia and Ukraine account for almost 90 percent of the epidemic in this region, largely because of sexual relations between people who inject drugs.

The documentary: * is for the first half largely about the hizb's growth in central Asia, the oppression of its members, the jailing of literally thousands of its members in Uzbekistan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan (and thats in EACH country, not cumulatively.) * Features an interview with a member of the hizb recently released from jail. This bit is an absolute must see! He describes (as ive quoted below also) that there is "an army of us in the jails of uzbekistan" and speaks of the inevitability of the return of the Khilafah (given what he's seen of the Muslims' increasing attachment to it). * then goes on to discuss a case study of a brother jailed for apparently being with al qaeda and how his family heard and saw nothing of him for very long. * The legal corruption of the governments of all three nations, and how (may the curse of Allah be upon these disbelieving shayateen) they appoint stooge lawyers in the defence of brothers from the hizb who are arrested such that the lawyers dont see them until the court hearing, and how there is a 100% conviction rate in these cases. * The case a few months ago where 32 brothers from the hizb (who were farmers) were jailed for 20 years each without any proof of wrongdoing. * Features a brief interview with a figure in the Uzbek opposition who says blatantly that the problem of the Uzbek government is with Islam. * Features a brief interview with the famous ex British <b>...</b>
