Summary UNCIVIL CEREMONYThere's no escaping the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at the moment, with a media frenzy surrounding the big day, but not everyone in the UK wants to share in the celebrations.Evan Williams meets some of those definitely not on the invite list...from a rebel punk band to the maker of wedding sick bags, and those who think the best way of dealing with royals is with a guillotine.And the Republican movement too says it's gaining supporters, with arguments more often heard in Australia than Britain.RADIO LIFELINEOver a thousand people are being held hostage by guerrillas in Colombia's jungle, but their families have found an unexpected lifeline to keep in touch with them. A weekly radio program, Voices of Kidnapping, has become essential listening for them and, they hope, their loved ones wherever they're being held.Video journalist Giovana Vitola meets some of the families reaching out over the airwaves with messages of support. Some know their relatives are still alive, while for others it's a way of keeping their hope alive.There's support too from released hostages, who say the program was the only thing that kept them going in captivity.MONKEY BUSINESSMany people will find Dateline's pictures of performing monkeys on chains in Indonesia shocking, but for those trying to eke out a living in the capital, Jakarta, it seems perfectly acceptable.It's because there's money to be made in training and renting out the performing animals, and taking them round the streets to perform for passers-by and children.But the Jakarta Animal Aid Network says the monkey business has to stop, and it's not only the monkeys that are being exploited by their owners, but also the street orphans who use them to scrape a living.Video journalist David O'Shea uncovers the uncomfortable mix of human suffering and animal suffering
