Message Stick: Talking Stick: Education

Sunday, 07 June 2009

Message Stick presents a new series of studio chat programs called Talking Stick. In this series, presenter Miriam Corowa speaks to Indigenous and non-Indigenous insiders to discuss six topics of interest to all Australians.

From the vexed subjects of Aboriginal health, education and justice, to national and international success in sport and music and the impact of climate change on communities across the country, Talking Stick provides a candid assessment of the state of the Indigenous nation.

In episode five, Education, Miriam talks to three people who embody the possibilities and power that educational success can bring in tackling the disadvantage affecting so many of Australia's Indigenous communities.

Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney runs the Yunggorendi First Nations Centre at Flinders University in Adelaide and specialises in the field of Indigenous education and languages. Craig Ashby is a young Indigenous man from Walgett who took up a scholarship at St Joseph's College, one of Sydney's elite private schools, and is now completing a Bachelor of Education at Sydney University. The Honourable Linda Burney, the NSW Minister for Community Services and National President of the Australian Labor Party, has maintained a long-standing involvement in the education sector -after starting a teaching career in the late 1970s. These three panellists all provide valuable contributions to a discussion of Indigenous education in Australia.

In a world where knowledge is power, Miriam and her guests consider how the current Indigenous power imbalance can be rectified.

Message Stick: Talking Stick: Education will be repeated on ABC2 - Monday, June 08 at 5:00pm

The Bear Man Of Kamchatka

Sunday, 07 June 2009

A scenically stunning and dramatically engaging story of one man's campaign to prove grizzly bears can live harmoniously with people if they are conditioned from an early age to loving trust.

Canadian, Charlie Russell, is a surrogate mother to orphan bear cubs in the remote and beautiful wilderness reserve on Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia. He has spent more than 10 years raising young bears and helping them return to the wild and in the process developed a unique, intimate relationship with them.

As he spends nine months of the year living as a recluse with the bears in this magnificent wilderness, he watches his young charges become increasingly independent, but hovers watchfully for the ever-present dangers of other grizzlies and poachers.

Russell's intimate and affectionate encounters with his beloved bears are a heart-warming sight in this thoughtful and beautiful film. He is determined to show that the fears man has about the savagery of such beasts are unfounded and that bears and humans can co-exist peacefully.

Ballet Shoes

Sunday, 07 June 2009

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger: Harry Potter) stars as Pauline Fossil in this heart-warming drama about family, fame and realising your dreams. Set in 1930s London, it follows the adventures of three orphans - Pauline, Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton: Miss Potter) who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, 'Gum' (Richard Griffiths: Harry Potter).

They are raised in a grand old house by his niece, Sylvia (Emilia Fox: Silent Witness) and Nana (BAFTA-winner, Victoria Wood). Pauline longs to be an actress; Petrova wants to be an aviator, while Posy seems born to be a ballerina. But when Gum doesn't return from an international expedition, they are left to fend for themselves.

To make ends meet, Sylvia takes in a cast of entertaining lodgers and the girls discover their star power at the Children's Academy of Dance and Stage Training. Their struggles to balance personal ambition with earning their keep make for a funny and poignant drama.

The sisters' vow to "put their names in the history books" becomes a promise to keep the family together at all costs.

Adapted and executive produced by the assured hand of Heidi Thomas (I Capture The Castle) from the classic novel by Noel Streatfield, Ballet Shoes is an uplifting family drama.

Compass: The Qur'an: Part One

Sunday, 07 June 2009

The Qur'an has become the most ideologically influential text in the world. Muslims believe it to be the word of God, as first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in a cave in the Arabian Desert, nearly fifteen hundred years ago.

Today Islam is a religion of vast dimensions. Well over a billion people from the Americas to China, from India to the southern tip of Africa, are Muslim. Yet within this single universe of belief, there are profound differences in the status of women, attitudes to peace and violence, punishment and forgiveness. Some Muslim regimes deny girls the right to an education and women the right to vote or drive. In other Muslim countries, women lead political parties and have even become heads of state.

But if Islam is rooted in the Qur'an, and the Qur'an is the ultimate and changeless message of God, how are these differences possible? Is it possible to go back to the source, and discover what the Qur'an actually says about the most important spiritual and ethical questions?

In this powerful and stunningly beautiful two-part program, The Qur'an, award-winning UK director, Antony Thomas takes us into the heart of the Muslim world and through the personal lives of people living according to their understanding of the Qur'an. The range of witnesses and experiences is extraordinary -- from Ayatollahs and Grand Imams to simple farmers; from women in positions of power to women living in veiled seclusion; from those who speak of the Qur'an's uncompromising message of peace and tolerance to those who find justification in the text for violent conflict and suicide bombing.

All speak frankly about their relationship with the Book which governs their lives, and through them, we gain clearer and clearer insights into this wonderfully complex, beautiful and often contradictory ‘guide and healing for humanity’.

Final

Monday, 08 June 2009

Section D learns from the Venezuelan secret service that the visiting Venezuelan President is being targeted by CIA hit-man Annibal Rodriguez (Stephen Da Costa). If MI5 prevents the assassination, the Venezuelans will provide intelligence they have regarding an al-Qaeda attack on a British school.

Meanwhile, Zaf's tortured corpse is found and ex-CIA Bob Hogan (Matthew Marsh) identifies a group called the 'Red-backs', who torture spies to extract intelligence.

When Jo (Miranda Raison) is snatched by them, Adam (Rupert Penry-Jones) asks Hogan to make contact and offer money for her safe return. Hogan sets up the exchange but reveals himself to be a Red-back, and Adam is captured, too.

Ben, (Alex Lanipekun) meanwhile, stops Rodriguez before he can kill the Venezuelan President, but the CIA, who commissioned the assassination, are incensed.

Harry (Peter Firth) sends a team to find Hogan, but the CIA reach him first. Hogan's willing to give up Jo and Adam, but the CIA won't let him talk to MI5 unless they get Rodriguez back. But if Rodriguez is returned to the Americans, the Venezuelans won't provide Harry with information on the school attack. Harry's solution is to tell the CIA that Rodriguez is dead, but he does a deal to share the intelligence about the al-Qaeda attack - agreeing that the US can have the terrorists.

Around The World In 80 Gardens: Northern Europe

Tuesday, 09 June 2009

In the penultimate episode of this globe-trotting series, Monty Don reaches Northern Europe. From the floral wonders of Britain's Sissinghurst castle, to the garden palette of impressionist painter Monet, to the quirky individuality of two of Monty's most admired contemporary designers, he's forced to wonder why this part of the world is so rich in gardening glories, and how we can care for this massive horticultural heritage.

Highlights in this episode include: Rousham Park and Sissinghurst in the UK; France's Chateau de Villandry and Monet's Giverny; Het Loo in The Netherlands and the personal retreat of one of Monty's favourite designers in Belgium. And finally, the most northerly botanic gardens in the world.

Jennifer Byrne Presents Cads And Bounders

New Series

Tuesday, 09 June 2009

Jennifer Byrne Presents is a series of individual treats for lovers of books and writing. It features discussions with leading authors and investigations into the popularity of writing genres such as crime, sex and romance, and fantasy.

Jennifer and her guests embark on a fascinating exploration of literature's bad boys - the cads and bounders!

Cads and bounders - the very words are a bit delicious, and though their origin is arguable we all know what those terms mean. Men behaving badly - especially towards women.

Without wasting too much energy distinguishing between the two, after all they go so perfectly together: "you sir, are a cad and a bounder", Jennifer has been doing some digging, and it seems the most likely derivation of 'cad' is from cadet, the younger of a good family who was sent away to train as a military officer. While a 'bounder' is literally someone beyond the bounds, a sort of jumped-up cad. What's interesting is that you won't find the word ‘cad’ mentioned in either Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer, though they had plenty of rakes and scoundrels in their novels, which puts the cads' estimated time of arrival at around the mid 19th century.

However, enough of origins, what about their wicked deeds? Jennifer has assembled a sparkling group to nominate what they regard as literature's greatest and most memorable cad or bounder.

Chris Taylor identifies with the scheming cad who is the Vicomte de Valmont from Choderlos de Laclos's Dangerous Liaisons. Mia Freedman names Mr Big from Sex and the City as her ultimate bounder. Edmund Capon thinks that the moustachioed Flashman from the George MacDonald Fraser series is the pinnacle of caddishness. Sandra Yates goes for the traditional bounder, with her choice of the darkly brooding Heathcliffe from Wuthering Heights.

Grandpa In My Pocket

New Series

Wednesday, 10 June 2009

Grandpa (James Bolam) lives with his family in the beautiful seaside town of Sunnysands. He spends much of his time sitting in his favourite armchair or enjoying a "little lie-down" in his room. At least that's what everyone thinks! Everyone that is, except his seven-year-old grandson, Jason (Jay Ruckley). He is the only one that knows Grandpa's big secret - a magic shrinking cap! When Grandpa shrinks he becomes small enough to hide in Jason's pocket. He can turn up anywhere and everywhere. When he's small he's great fun to be with, but full of mischief. He can help or he can hinder and Jason usually has to step in to sort out the ensuing chaos.

Grandpa In My Pocket explores the hugely important grandparent/grandchild relationship by turning it on its head. Jason and Grandpa's fantastical adventures are full of drama, jeopardy and comedy.

Ep 1: Beowulf The Brilliant - Wednesday, June 10 at 8:25am on ABC1

The Cook And The Chef

Wednesday, 10 June 2009

This week on The Cook And The Chef, Simon Bryant and Maggie Beer celebrate Stephanie Alexander's contribution to food in Australia.

When it came to food Stephanie had a charmed childhood. Her mother used cooking to express her creativity, and the nightly presentations of meals for her family were a gift of love. Stephanie's associations with food were so wonderfully positive that as a cook she has found herself on a mission to take anxiety out of and bring joy to cooking and eating. From the mid 70s she took her French-inspired cooking to an incredibly receptive restaurant audience.

These days Stephanie has enlisted young foot soldiers for her food revolution. The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program seeks funding to provide schools across Australia with the means to set up a learning garden linked with a kitchen. The pilot program was established in 2001 and now 92 schools across Australia are involved in the project. Maggie is the ambassador for the Kitchen Garden Project in South Australia and her love of empowering children through gardening and cooking is shared by Simon who is the patron of the Kids’ Cooking Club at his local farmers market.

In the kitchen, Simon and Maggie inspired by Stephanie, delve into their pantry and fridge to see what they can create. Maggie finds potato left over from a pizza, and pumpkin from a cous cous dish. She brings these left-overs to life with various ingredients to create a frittata. Simon's pantry staples include lentils and rice and he uses a combination of both to make a warming risotto which features some great winter veggies like leek and fennel. Maggie also makes one of Stephanie's Kitchen Garden recipes, a wonderful warm polenta and rosemary bread with corn. Like Maggie, Simon wouldn't make anything with kids that he wouldn't enjoy eating himself and his cheesy potatoes are no exception.

The New Inventors

Wednesday, 10 June 2009

Hosted by James O'Loghlin, The New Inventors presents a special episode, 'Dealing with Disaster'.

Invention 1A BUSHFIRE SMART HOUSE - inventor Dr Ian Weir (WA). The Bushfire Smart House is designed to sustain itself in a bushfire without human intervention using bushfire-rated reflective glazing in windows that reach down to the floor, remote-controlled ember-resistant perforated roller shutters, a protective roof, sprinkler system, and a safety zone inside the house that contains dedicated fire fighting and safety equipment. Bushfire Smart House - you can't stop a bushfire, but you can design smarter homes.

Invention 1B SIGHT SKETCHER - co-inventor Justin Leonard (VIC). The Sight Sketcher measures and maps a house in its environment and then uses test scenarios to assess its vulnerability to bushfire. Developed at the CSIRO, the scanning device takes snapshots of the house and any surrounding features to create a 3D model of all relevant bushfire risks. Sight Sketcher - solve a problem before it's a disaster.

Invention 2 ANUGA - inventors Dr Ole Nielson and Stephen Roberts (ACT). ANUGA is software developed by Australian National University and GeoScience Australia. It models water flow in the event of floods, dam breaks, storm surges and tsunamis, so that the water's movement can be anticipated and draft evacuation plans, protective levees and cities can be designed safely. Anuga - predicting a safer future.

Invention 3 ARK - inventors Matt Guest and Scott Horan (ACT). Domestic animals are not allowed into temporary accommodation during a disaster, so ARK trailers are used to house and treat up to 40 dogs, 60 cats, 50 sheep, snakes and other exotic pet species. They were recently utilised in the Victorian bushfires. ARK - man's best friend shouldn't be left behind.

The Ascent Of Money: Blowing Bubbles

Thursday, 11 June 2009

Why do stock markets produce bubbles and busts? Professor Niall Ferguson goes back to the origins of the joint stock company in 17th century Amsterdam and Paris. He tells us that the United Dutch East India Company was the first joint stock company in history.

Ferguson draws telling parallels between the recent stock market crash and the 18th century Mississippi Bubble of Scottish renegade murderer and gambler, later financier, John Law, who was the perpetrator of the first stock market 'bubble' in 1720.

He shows why humans have a herd instinct when it comes to investment, and why no one can accurately predict when the bulls might stampede.

We learn that after the stock market crash in 1929 the market lost a staggering 86%, reaching its nadir in 1932. One quarter of the population of the United States was unemployed.

Why did the 1929 crash happen, and indeed why does any crash happen? This remains one of the most hotly debated questions in financial history.

Professor Ferguson explains why Enron, the company responsible for one of the biggest financial scandals in modern history, and that was declared bankrupt in 2001, pioneered the dubious business practices that continue to plague us today.

Kids' Business

Thursday, 11 June 2009

Over one year at a central Victorian primary school a group of typical, but also amazing, 10-12 year olds met in a once weekly class to discuss issues concerning their relationships both at school and at home. And Cath South and Stewart Carter filmed this process. The resulting film Kids' Business is a moving account of the kids' struggles over that year.

The class, Solving The Jigsaw, which the school has run for six years, gives the children a setting where they can discuss anything they want relating to their lives. The motto of the group is "there is nothing you can't talk about". And because of the confidential setting, the kids discuss the most personal, and in some cases heart-rending, issues they face. Death, family feuds, disappointment, exclusion, bullying, and violence at home are all discussed openly and dealt with sensitively.

The class is run by facilitator Bernadette Wright, with the intention of teaching the children how to communicate their feelings and control situations that may feel out of their control. Bernadette fosters a feeling of trust in which the grade 5 and 6 kids feel confident to talk about their lives. But most importantly, they learn how to talk to their parents about what matters to them. The result is a deeply moving insight into the complexities of these children's lives and relationships.

The kids and their families all agreed to share their experiences on film.

Silent Witness: Judgement

Friday, 12 June 2009

When the badly decomposed body of a Hasidic man is discovered on a disused wasteland, Harry (Tom Ward) is required to investigate his death, and to treat the community with care. Everything points towards a brutal anti-Semitic murder by a Polish labourer - but when the time of death contradicts his wife's last sighting, Harry becomes suspicious. The deeper Harry delves, the tighter this close-knit community becomes, until Harry and Nikki (Emilia Fox) come across forensic evidence that suggests the killer comes from within the Hasidic community.

Meanwhile, Leo (William Gaminara) investigates the death of a female Australian backpacker at a house party. The partygoers are saying it's a straightforward drug death, but markings on her body suggest a sexually motivated crime. Leo finds himself being given short shrift by her friends as he tries to piece together the moments leading to her death.

New Tricks: A Face For Radio

Saturday, 13 June 2009

An arson attack on 1980s music station Roxy Radio ten years ago resulted in the death of the popular, but controversial DJ, Johnny Deacon, and left the cleaner, Sharon Revie, blind and scarred for life. The station's media-mogul owner, Sir Max Wyatt, who was already under public scrutiny for ripping off the company employees’ pension fund, committed suicide shortly after the studios burned down. Despite suggestions of an insurance scam or revenge attack, the original investigation drew a blank.

When Jeremy Kirkham (Reece Shearsmith), super-geek and life president of Deacon's fan club, campaigns for the case to be reopened, the UCOS team gains a murder inquiry and Brian Lane (Alun Armstrong) gains a new friend. Socially inept, awkward and clumsy, Jeremy finds it is a meeting of minds when he shows Brian his fully catalogued collection of all Deacon's programs, including his distressing last broadcast on the night of the fire.

Deacon's producer, cheesy DJ Graham Madeley, escaped the fire. With his trophy younger wife Sarah and his office now a shrine to his dead friend and the good old days, Madeley's loyalty and hero-worship of Deacon seem at odds with how others viewed their relationship. So Pullman (Amanda Redman) sends Brian undercover at one of the station's fun days. But Brian is less in disguise and more in full fancy-dress costume, thanks to his wife Esther and her interpretation of the 1980s.

With Halford (James Bolam) missing since Ricky Hanson's trial, the team is under pressure not only to deliver on the case, but to cover Halford's prolonged absence. Strickland is keen to find a permanent replacement for Jack, but Pullman and Standing (Dennis Waterman) call his bluff, threatening to quit UCOS rather than work with someone new on the team.

The Bill

Saturday June 13, 8:30pm - Ep. 663 - Matters of the Mind

The theft of a watch at a social club leads the Sun Hill team to suspect the resident magician Drake Danvers (Tim Treloar), who initially claims he bought the watch.

However, when DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed) and DI Neil Manson (Andrew Lancel) do secure a confession, Manson is unconvinced, and they eventually discover that the magician is being blackmailed.

A sting is set up to catch the extortionist, but a brawl breaks out and diverts their attention, letting the culprit escape with the money. They then have to rely on CCTV footage, and the very person the magician was protecting, turns out to be his betrayer.

Saturday June 13, 9:15pm - Ep. 664 - Leap of Faith

After a call for help from PCs Beth Green (Louisa Lytton) and Tony Stamp (Graham Cole), PC Nate Roberts (Ben Richards) dives into the Thames to rescue a young woman attempting suicide.

When a small bag of heroine is found in the girl's pocket, DCs Terry Perkins (Bruce Byron) and Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) visit the boxing club where she works and uncover evidence of drug-dealing. But the reason for her suicide attempt is much more sinister.

Beth clashes with Perkins over his handling of the suspect, and then she tells the team she's applied for a post with the witness protection team.

Gravity Probe

On April 20, 2004, a small spacecraft set out on a giant quest … to answer one of the fundamental questions of our universe. This is the extraordinary Gravity Probe B mission - 50 years in the making, boasting the most perfectly formed gyroscopic spheres ever created by human beings, beset by setbacks and cancellations, fire and failure … it's the longest, most expensive experiment ever conducted by NASA. Dr Jonica Newby discovers that they are finally on the verge of delivering the answer to the question - was Einstein right about gravity?

Eco-Markets

Farmers in Victoria, planning to find new ways to manage their land, can now maximise its environmental benefit by turning to a scheme being trialled by the Victorian Government. Current economic theory puts no value on the environment, but this scheme allows farmers to make a financial bid for the land works they may wish to introduce. This can then be assessed against a modelling tool called the Catchment Management Framework (CMF).This tool was developed by the Victorian Government to combine different scientific models of environmental characteristics, such as soil type, vegetation and water in order to predict the impact of land management. Graham Phillips meets a farmer who is already seeing benefits from this 'Eco-Market'.

Uranium Minerals

Ever since the first nuclear power station was commissioned, the storage of radioactive waste has been a contentious issue. But, deep beneath the sands of the Murray basin in North Western Victoria granite deposits may offer a solution to safer storage of radioactive waste. Radioactive materials can remain dangerous for thousands of years but Mother Nature has her own method of stabilising nuclear materials. Dr Paul Willis investigates a unique mineral deposit that may help solve a problem that refuses to go away.
