In 2002, Polanski again made the news, but this time for the right reasons. His film The Pianist, based on Polish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman's memoir of surviving the Warsaw ghetto, was feted at the Cannes film festival and went on to win the Oscars for best actor, director and adapted screenplay

Roman Polanski: a life touched by tragedy and controversy
This was not the first time controversy and tragedy had touched the director's life. Roman Polanski, pictured here in 1984, was born in Paris in 1933, but his family returned to Poland shortly before the outbreak of the second world war and were forced into the Krakow ghetto with thousands of other Jewish families. He escaped in 1943, but his parents were shipped to concentration camps, and his mother died in Auschwitz

In 1977, the then 43-year-old Polanski, seen here with his attorney Douglas Dalton, pled guilty to a charge of unlawful sex with 13-year-old Samantha Gailey (now Geimer). He had originally been indicted on five other charges, including giving Quaaludes to a minor and sodomy, but these were dismissed under the terms of his plea bargain. Polanski fled the country before he could be sentenced

Others have been quick to condemn the arrest. French culture minister Frédéric Mitterrand said he was 'dumbfounded' by Polanski's arrest, adding that he 'strongly regrets that a new ordeal is being inflicted on someone who has already experienced so many of them'. The Swiss Directors' Association also criticised the authorities over what it described as 'not only a grotesque farce of justice, but also an immense cultural scandal'

Dust storms around the world
A Chinese farmer walks amid a heavy sand storm in Minqin county, in China's Gansu province. Northern China, parts of the US, the Sahel in Africa, the Middle East and Australia are all prone to severe dust storms which routinely travel thousands of miles and on occasion have been found to travel twice round the world in the upper atmosphere. Chinese scientists have linked the increasingly severe storms of the last decade to massive deforestation and over-exploited water resources in southern and eastern China

Dust storms around the world
An enormous dust cyclone swirls over north-eastern China (the northern Korean peninsula is bottom centre). The cyclonic cloud is actually pushing a wall of dust, which covers the land beneath, and even over some of the clouds. Witnesses report that it was as dark as night, and dust was pushed as far as the Great Lakes of North America

Dust storms around the world
The worst dust storm in 70 years swept across eastern Australia this week, as winds picked up millions of tonnes of red dust from Australia's drought-ravaged interior and dumped it on the coast. This week meteorologists predicted that many more major dust storms would occur if climate change leads, as expected, to deeper droughts
The Bradfield freeway, Sydney, on 23 September, 2009. Huge dust storms like the one which blanketed Sydney and turned the air red across much of eastern Australia this week are spreading epidemics and now reaching every country in the world, but could be absorbing climate change emissions, say scientists studying the little understood global phenomenon
