The astonishing Dr Joseph Needham - Part 1 of 3 These days everybody knows that the Chinese invented practically everything hundreds of years ago.

A look back at how some have lived this past year, starting with the garbage problem in the city of Mangua. Too many people are trying to take the garbage from those who have to live in it. With Canada courting Colombia, we look at the country better known for cocaine cartels and murderous paramilitaries.

The new Human Tissue Bill in New Zealand has provoked debate over who owns your body at death—you or your family? The Maori Party argues the legislation is Western-centric and racist. And, a young Maori scientist working with post-mortem brain tissue is breaking new ground, to keep her lab life 'culturally safe', in consultation with her tribe. Original broadcast: 3/5/2008
