Summary GREECE FUTUREGreece has been in serious money trouble for a long time now. Recently the country had its first election since all of the problems really started. So it'd be a great time for everyone to have their say and start working towards a solution, right? Well as it turns out... no. Things have once again taken a turn for the worst. GENE PATENTIt's pretty obvious that if you invent something, that invention should belong to you, right? What if you discover something? And what if that discovery is a part of the human body? More than 4000 human genes are patented, which means the rights to them are owned by companies. And some say that's getting in the way of scientific discovery. Sarah has a look at the push against owning genes in Australia. HEAD INJURIESFootball codes have been warned that players receiving head injuries could be in more danger than previously thought. New research shows that sometimes the signs of damage aren't clear until years - or even decades after the original injury. So what does it mean for school sport and the professional game?PARADISE LOST?If I told you about a deserted pristine beach you'd probably want to go there, right? Well after a while, so would all your friends. And before you know it the place isn't deserted any more and it's no longer pristine! That can sometimes be the problem of too much tourism to an area. We meet some people who think the holiday destination Bali is being ruined by too many Aussie tourists. RECYCLINGHave you ever wondered what happens to your yoghurt container after you've chucked it in the recycling bin? Well, the journey doesn't end there. We go behind the scenes at a recycling depot to see what happens to all the stuff we throw out
