Watch part two

Malaria, a deadly mosquito borne disease, kills more than a million people a year.

A cure is said to be decades away.

But a group of Chinese scientists are working hard to eradicate the disease. And their methods are producing astonishing results.

However, they have their critics - Western scientists and the World Health Organisation have given little support to the experimental project.

On this edition of 101 East we follow a team of Chinese scientists who, against world opinion, believe they are close to achieving a medical miracle.

This episode of 101 East airs from Thursday, April 23, 2009, at the following times GMT: Thursday: 1230; Friday: 0300; Saturday: 0530, 1730; Sunday: 0330, 1130; Monday: 1630; Tuesday: 0600, 1430; Wednesday: 0830, 1930; Thursday: 0630.
