See how the wombat survives in these cold temperatures and how wild horses thrive.

FRONTLINE investigates allegations of fraud and predatory behavior in the troubled for-profit college industry and examines the 2015 collapse of the Corinthian Colleges chain. (Aired 2016) In “A Subprime Education,” correspondent Martin Smith explores how for-profit colleges have often been advertised as the best option for low-income students who can’t afford a more traditional four-year degree. Yet some of these colleges have been collecting money and leaving students in debt, without degrees, and unprepared to face the job market — despite aggressive recruitment pitches promising the contrary.

After the deadly airline crash of Continental 3407 in Buffalo, New York, FRONTLINE investigated the accident and discovered a dramatically changed airline industry, where regional carriers accounted for half of the nation's daily departures and insiders worried about the aviation system being stretched beyond its capacity to deliver service that is both cheap and safe. (Aired 2010) The rise of the regionals and the arrival of low-cost carriers were seen as a boon to consumers, and the industry insisted that the skies remained safe. But decades after deregulation, many insiders worried that the airline system had been stretched beyond its capacity to deliver service that was both cheap and safe.

Watch the final episode of “The Power of Big Oil,” a three-part FRONTLINE docuseries investigating what scientists, corporations and politicians have known about human-caused climate change for decades — and the missed opportunities to mitigate the problem. Throughout the first two episodes of “The Power of Big Oil,” FRONTLINE went inside the fossil fuel industry’s efforts in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to stall action on climate change by cultivating denial and doubt. The third and final episode of the series brings the story up to the present. “Delay,” part three of “The Power of Big Oil,” investigates how, even as the warnings about climate change grew, the U.S. reemerged as one of the world's biggest oil and gas producers, and the fossil fuel industry worked to delay the transition to renewable energy sources — including by promoting natural gas as a cleaner alternative. But as the country was entering a gas boom, a former Exxon Mobil engineer tells FRONTLINE that the industry wasn’t monitoring for methane leaks that could turbo-charge the climate crisis.

In Episode 2 of this documentary series, Luke Tomes explores the gradual deterioration of the West India Interest, its power base weakened by political reform in the United Kingdom, a decline in the value of sugar and an inspired slave rebellion in Jamaica (1831/2) which unearthed the true nature of West Indian Colonists and demonstrated the instability of the institution. He also touches upon the agonising moral dilemma abolitionists faced on the subject of compensation; the financial remuneration planters received from the government as a form of repayment for their “lost property”.

The Secrets Of Temple Church | Home Of The Knights Templar' It's one of Britain's most fascinating buildings, boasting nearly nine centuries of history. Temple Church was built by the holy order of the Knights Templar in the 12th century. The iconic round tower was consecrated by Heraclius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1185. The design of the round tower was intended to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. History Hit's Alice Loxton heads to central London to explore the secrets of Temple Church. She gets inside the tiny penitential cell where Walter Bachelor was supposedly starved to death on the orders of the Master of the Temple. She discovers how the Temple was rebuilt after one of the most devastating German air raids of the Blitz during World War Two.

The process of chemosynthesis is similar to photosynthesis. Both can be defined as the creation of organic matter from the fixation of inorganic carbon using energy. But what differs is the source of that energy. In parts of the deep sea, primary production is fuelled by chemical energy, rather than energy from the sun. But this can only take place at certain sea-floor environments where the required chemicals are released into the water. The two main examples of such environments are hydrothermal vents, and cold seeps. The former were only discovered in 1977 when scientists were exploring an oceanic spreading ridge near the Galapagos Islands. What they discovered was a hidden world that revolutionised our understanding of how and where life on Earth can exist. Since then, hundreds more vent field have been discovered, often at depths of 2km or more, along Earth’s convergent plate boundaries and at sea-floor spreading regions where the oceanic crust is moving apart.

Top Roman Historian Rates Famous Movie Scenes' Dr Simon Elliott, Roman historian, archaeologist and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Kent, reviews scenes from famous movies set in the ancient world. Simon reviews the opening battle of Ridley Scott's epic, Gladiator (2000), before commenting on the final climactic showdown between the Roman emperor Commodus and Maximus, played by Joaquin Phoenix and Russell Crowe, in the Colosseum. He reviews the recreation of the ancient city of Pompeii in the 2014 movie of the same name, as well as the portrayal of the eruption of Vesuvius. Next, Simon watches two iconic scenes from Ben Hur (1959). You might be surprised to know that 'galley slaves' as portrayed in the film were rarely in fact slaves, particularly on military vessels, where professional oarsmen were used. The famous chariot racing scene in the Roman hippodrome is rated better for accuracy. Finally, Simon comments on two scenes from The Eagle (2011), starring Channing Tatum. In the first scene, a group of Roman legionaries sallies out from their fort to rescue two captured Roman soldiers.

An investigation by FRONTLINE and ProPublica into how the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico was preceded by countless safety violations. Could the spill have been prevented? (Aired 2010) Long before the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf, BP was widely viewed as a company that valued deal-making and savvy marketing over safety, a “serial environmental criminal” that left behind a long trail of problems — deadly accidents, disastrous spills, countless safety violations — which many now believe should have triggered action by federal regulators. Each time, BP acknowledged the wider flaws in its culture and promised to do better. But from the refineries to the oil fields to the Gulf of Mexico, BP workers understood that profits came first.
