Summary Insulation InquiryHow can something as harmless as house insulation kill people? Well that's the question being asked right now after some insulation installers were electrocuted while putting it into people's roofs. They were up there as part of a government program - so now one minister is taking some heat for the problems. Kirsty looks into what went wrong and who's responsible. India SportIndia is a sports mad country and they certainly have a lot of big events coming up. The Commonwealth Games, the Indian Premier League and the Hockey World Cup are all scheduled to take place there over the next year. But some terrorist groups have threatened to attack these events, so now some athletes taking part are fearing for their safety. Catherine discovers who made the threats and whether they might stop some events altogether. MASH 2010You might have seen MASH, the TV show about a mobile army hospital set during a war 50-years ago. Well in this story you'll get to see the real MASH - an American Army hospital working near the frontline in Afghanistan right now. Many of the people working there were still in school when the war started - but these days they face helicopter evacuations, fire fights and surgical operations in tents. Nathan shows what work they're doing behind the scenes to try to help the injured survive. Pole DancingWith the winter Olympics winding up, attention will now be turning to the summer games coming up in London in 2012. But there is one fairly different kind of sport that would love to get a run at an Olympics soon. Pole dancing groups are becoming increasing popular, and the world champs of it reckon they should be up there vying for gold. Some young kids love it here in Oz, so Catherine went to meet them to see what's involved. Rock OrchestraOrchestra has a reputation among many young people as a pretty slow, dreary kind of music... but that doesn't always have to be the case! Orchestras are mixing it with superstar rock and indie groups to spice things up a bit and appeal to a whole different audience. Kirsty took a look at the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, who've teamed up with The Panics for their next performance!
