FIRE AND ICE
Making fire from ice sounds impossible, but that’s exactly what scientists are doing in the Arctic wilderness. Ground that’s been frozen for thousands of years is rapidly thawing out, releasing dangerous gas on a colossal scale. The result is wrecking chaos on local communities and has the potential to accelerate global warming. We explore this new environmental threat that has profound implications for us all.

BOTTLED SHAME
Every year up to 3000 Kiwi babies are born with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). It's permanent brain damage caused by alcohol exposure in the womb. Although FASD causes serious learning, social and emotional problems, there is no government funding to support those living with it. We meet the children and families who are in the middle of what experts call a crisis, needing urgent action.
MONEY FOR NOTHING
When last summer’s shocking Australian bushfires devastated the lives of thousands of our Trans-Tasman cousins, Kiwis joined many from around the world to donate money. Hundreds of millions was given to charities to help those who’d suffered. But six months on, much of the money remains undistributed, which is causing bitterness in many fire-ravaged communities. Victims who lost their homes and are now struggling through winter living in caravans and tents feel like they’ve been forgotten. But the charities say there’s a reason for the delay: it takes time to ensure the claims are legitimate, especially when there are so many people accused of taking donations they had no right to. On Sunday, those who allegedly have cashed in our generosity are confronted. Channel 9 “60 MINUTES”

And this week, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell appears in a Manhattan court, charged with multiple child sex offences, and accused of being Epstein’s right-hand woman.
