STORM CLEAN UP We take a look at how New Yorkers are recovering after the devastating storms that hit the city last week. Our story is told by a local kid who's currently off school and living in a home without power. So how can a city recover... and what's life like for kids living through the disaster? CYBER SMART Cyber bullying is something we hear a lot about and that's because it's a huge problem for kids all around the world. There are lots of campaigns out there trying to stop it and last week Facebook launched a new one. Many reckon the power to stop bullying lies with kids... and Sarah found out about a school which is giving them the knowledge they need to do it. INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE Last week we told you how the government wants all kids to learn an Asian language. But there are languages much closer to home that some people think are just as important. Australia has hundreds of indigenous languages and some people are worried that if we don't keep teaching them they could eventually die out. We visit one school where learning an aboriginal language is a very important part of the day. FOOD GARDEN When tourists come to Australia they often visit the opera house, the Sydney harbour bridge or the great barrier reef. But when Prince Charles arrived to tour Australia this week he chose to visit a food garden made by primary school kids. So what was so special about this school's food garden project? SPACE JUNK Over and over again, we've been told about the problems associated with litter here on earth. But did you know we also have a junk problem somewhere else? Over 2000ks above your head space junk is creating a big hazard. Cleaning it up though is a lot tougher than you might think.

Earthquakes Two earthquakes in two months... it's a scary start to 2010 for the countries of Haiti and Chile. The latest event was a huge 8.8 magnitude quake that struck Chile, destroying some areas and causing tsunamis that devastated many more. However this disaster is not looking like it will kill anywhere near as many people as the Haiti quake a month ago, despite being far more powerful. Nathan looks into what factors made the difference between the two earthquakes. Floods If you live in some of the northern parts of Australia right now, you might be feeling a little wet underfoot. You might even be flooded in! Huge rainfalls have created flooding and havoc across parts of the Northern Territory and Queensland. So where has all this rain come from? And will it solve some of the problems with drought through the Murray Darling Basin? Kirsty cracks out the weather charts to find out. Plastic Fantastic The invention of plastic products like bags, bottles and containers has been super convenient, because they're waterproof, strong and reusable. But it's also created big problems for the environment. However.. there is a way to "build a bridge and get over it". Confused? Catherine explains what can happen if you do the right thing and recycle. ACDC They are the rock band making a huge splash touring the country right now, packing out stadiums and bringing fans from every generation in to party. But for the guys that recorded the track 'it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock and roll,' it certainly seems like they've stayed on top for just as long! Kirsty went out to meet some young fans, to find out what it is about these aging rockers that's drawing 'em in. Closing the Gap Later this month, 'National Close the Gap Day' will be held - a day designed to bring attention to the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It's an issue that has touched a lot of people, and Catherine went out to meet some that have come up with a very unique way of raising money to help. It involves little characters called the schaffas!

Deep down we're all fractured, an oil and gas representative tells young Aboriginal leader and lawyer Caleb Behn. Behn knows that feeling all too well, as he struggles with the role he'll play in protecting his territory in northern British Columbia, currently under siege from some of the world's largest natural gas operations. The troubling reality is that the same industry threatening traditional practices and livelihoods is also responsible for giving his parents jobs that provided him with his lifestyle and education. Whether hunting beaver, throwing hatchets or studying legal briefs, the burden of leadership is visible in Behn, as he knows others are looking to him for a better future. Following him from the pristine North to downtown Vancouver and a fracked territory in New Zealand, Fractured Land provides optimism and empowerment toward issues that can seem dire and insurmountable. Filmmakers Fiona Rayher and Damien Gillis have been following Caleb for four years, capturing hundreds of hours of footage of his development, through law school, sharing knowledge with other Indigenous peoples, speaking to larger and larger audiences, dealing with deep community divisions, and building a movement.

Carey Steers New Novel Into Australia's Aboriginal Past Peter Carey is one of Australia's most critically acclaimed authors. But until now, he says he's avoided a big topic: Australia's history of dispossession of its first peoples. For a long time, he believe that as a non-Indigenous author, it wasn't his place. But Peter Carey's view on that has changed and his new book, A Long Way From Home explores some of the more shameful parts of the nation's past. He spoke to Matt Wordsworth. And a warning, this interview contains strong language. Panel Discussion: Should Young Adults Be Excluded From Assisted Dying Legislation? Matt Wordsworth speaks to three young Australians who have had to face their own mortality. Robin Eames, Madison Brooke and Jessica Bean share their views on voluntary assisted dying and whether young people should be able to access any future laws. Victoria On The Verge Of Passing Historic Assisted Dying Legislation More than 70 percent of Australians broadly support the idea of voluntary euthanasia, but attempts at making it law have so far failed. Since the Northern Territory law was overturned by the federal government in 1997, there have been more than 40 attempts around the country. But recently, the issue has re-entered the public arena. Now Victoria is on the verge of passing historic assisted dying legislation. Naomi Selvaratnam reports.
