But in return, Greece will be forced to accept some very painful changes, including a new and even tougher wave of austerity measures. BtN explains exactly what that is and meets some kids experiencing it firsthand.VOLCANO SAFETYThe holiday plans of thousands of Australians were derailed recently when a huge volcanic explosion forced the cancellation of all flights in and out of Bali for nearly a week.

It's all thanks to a little spacecraft called New Horizon, which left Earth in 2006 on a mission to explore the furthest reaches of our solar system.
