Fronted by Rageh Omaar, ITV News's award-winning team of specialist journalists contribute in-depth reports from around the world and the stories behind the headlines.The following reports will air in this programme:TURKEY – PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN: THE MOST SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT? - RAGEH OMAARRageh Omaar travels to Turkey to gain a deeper understanding of the man some call the world's most successful democratic politician – President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. A successfully fought referendum recently gave him sweeping new powers, potentially extending his Presidency until 2029. For decades Turkey has been seen as the bridge between Europe and the Middle East, but Erdoğan's expanded powers, which include the ability to bring back the death penalty, suggest that that gap between the continents is widening even further. Almost a year on from the failed coup to topple him, Rageh visits Istanbul, a divided city, to discover how President Erdoğan has gone from overcoming a hostile takeover to convince an entire nation to hand him even more authority.BALI – THE SHACKLING OF MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS - DEBI EDWARDIn Indonesia, severely mentally ill people are shackled by their families in sheds, small rooms and back yards, sometimes for years on end. A lack of accessible and affordable mental health services, and a high level of superstition in the country, has resulted in up to 18,000 individuals being subjected to this treatment, say Human Rights Watch. Debi Edward travels to the Indonesian island of Bali, where she meets some of the patients who have been locked up and tethered, including one man chained by his leg in a dark room and kept completely naked for his own safety. Debi discovers why many families resort to shackling, and what is being done to help stop this archaic practice.POLAND – 35 YEARS ON FROM THE RISE OF SOLIDARITY – TIM EWARTThirty-five years since he was ITN's Warsaw Correspondent, Tim Ewart returns to Poland on his final assignment before he retires, to discover how the country has changed since he last set foot on Polish soil. In 1982 Tim covered the rise of the anti-Communist trade union group Solidarity which helped bring an end to the Communist control of Eastern Europe. He retraces the steps he made three decades ago, and travels to Gdansk to meet Lech Wałęsa, Solidarity's leader and former President of Poland. Tim reunites with his old team – his own translators, cameraman and soundman – in the old Communist restaurant they used to go to, and tracks down some of the Solidarity supporters he interviewed in the '80s. Yet, as Tim discovers, Poland is still a country of protest. This time however, it is the right-wing reforms of the ruling Law and Justice Party, which are sparking demonstrations throughout the country. As Tim discovers, history has a habit of repeating itself.
