The US is breathing a sigh of relief, because it believes it's found a home for Uighur prisoners held in Guantanamo.

On another front, the documentary 'Ten Conditions of Love' - about Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer - which caused controversy when it was shown in Melbourne, is now set to screen in Taiwan.

Taiwan's national KMT government wants closer ties to Beijing - but the screening is taking place at the invitation of the mayor of Kaohsiung, who is from the opposition party.

Presenter: Sen Lam
Speakers: Drew Gladney, President of the Pacific Basin Institute at Pomona College in Hawaii
