                                           BBC/ N. Thorpe

     Last October, an aluminum factory's toxic red sludge nearly covered homes (above)...in Kolontar in Western Hungary.
     On a visit after his nation's worst environmental accident...new PM Viktor Orban promised that everyone would be compensated with new homes or the cash equivalent.
     Unusual for a politician today...Orban kept all his promises.
