3:10 Feature Interview - Somini Sengupta
They say you can never go home again. But after 30 years away, Somini Sengupta, who was born in Calcutta, returned to India to be the New Delhi bureau chief for The New York Times. She says the country was barely recognisable from the one she and her family left in 1975 when they immigrated to California. It is a country trying to reconcile its past where sex and caste determine destiny, and its future.
3:30 Our Changing World
Koi carp are a significant problem in some Waikato Lakes, and Waikato Regional Council's Bruno David has come up with a solution that not only removes the unwanted introduced fish from the lakes, but does something useful with the bodies. Alison joins Bruno at a fish trap and he shows her how the fish are caught, dispatched and then fed into a biodigestor to produce 'carp-uccino' and fertiliser pellets that are then used to give native plantings a boost.
