• CaptionWhen the train deporting illegal immigrants stops at stations, returnees have to put their heads between their knees so that they can be more easily controlled. Since the first South African democratic elections in 1994, there has been a marked increase in people from elsewhere in Africa making their way into the country. Around 180,000 illegal immigrants are deported annually. In February, police mounted Operation Crackdown to reduce crime levels and detain illegal migrants.

• CaptionActors from the Italian television series La Piovra (The Octopus) take a break after a Mafia assassination scene. La Piovra attracts millions of viewers across the country. Its focus on the relationship between organized crime and politics has in the past brought fiction close to reality, with some episodes uncannily foreshadowing the future. Both Church and Government have previously expressed displeasure with the series.

  Russian soldiers sunbathe on a rooftop while a sniper stands guard. Street fighting during the final stages of the capture of the city from Chechen rebels had taken its toll, but by the spring Russian troops had established themselves. Although the Chechen capital was razed and most citizens had fled, the rebels consolidated in the surrounding hills and still posed a threat.

  Hundreds of members of a religious cult died in an explosion in a church. The cult had predicted the end of the world for midnight on December 31, 1999. Members were told to sell their possessions and give the proceeds to the movement. On March 17 a bell summoned them to the church. Half an hour later an explosion was heard and a fire broke out, killing everyone in the building. Ugandan authorities issued arrest warrants for the cult leaders on charges of murder. Evidence of further mass deaths was found at other sites around the country. Officials found it difficult to assess the total number of victims, the final toll was given as between 500 and 1,000.
