2014-10-02_0122Horizons returns to BBC World News this Saturday with a special episode featuring an exclusive interview with philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates.

In this episode we see how the Gates Foundation is investing billions of dollars every year in scientific research to help improve the lives of millions. In their interview with presenter Adam Shaw, Bill and Melinda Gates talk about their first experiences in Africa, working together and why they’re optimistic about winning the battle against poverty and disease.

Speaking to the programme Bill Gates said: “We really have to be able to see the amazing progress that we’re making and see what we did right, and double down on those things, so that we make even more rapid progress.”

Other episodes in the series will see Horizons continue its journey around the globe discovering technologies and innovations that could transform the way we live our lives over the next few decades.

From discarded mobile phones that could provide a reliable solution to illegal deforestation, lettuce leaves that could help fight polio, HIV and cholera and seaweed that can be turned into biofuel, this series will continue the search for the ideas and people tackling some of the big challenges facing our planet.

Saturday 4th October at 11.30am and 6.30pm on BBC World News

  2. Oops, my mistake. This is “Horizons”, running for 30 minutes, not the “Horizon” series from the BBC whose docs run for 50 minutes.
    Never mind, I like a good documentary so I’ll be watching.
