Summary TONGUE TIEDHave you ever seen a politician refuse to give a straight-forward answer in an interview? It can be really frustrating to watch.

So how are schools funded?BAT MANWe meet a blind man who uses bat-like sonar skills to be able to 'see'. By making clicking sounds he's able to build up a picture of what's in front of him. He's become so good at it that he's holding a series of workshops with blind Australian students to improve their skills.MOVIE SOUNDSWe're rolling out the red carpet and getting ready for Oscars night. But we're not doing a story about the actors... or the directors... or the wonderful camera-work. We're going to take a close look at how sound-effects are made for movies.
