Summary NZ EARTHQUAKENew Zealand has been hit by a deadly earthquake. It's the second major earthquake to hit the country in the last 6 months. So why is New Zealand more susceptible to big earthquakes than some other countries? SES VOLUNTEERDisasters like earthquakes rely on the help of the emergency services and volunteers. We sent Kirsty along to a State Emergency Services training session to see what it takes to join up. GAS DISPUTEWhen you buy some land, how much do you really own? That's the debate at the centre of a huge fight between farmers and miners in Qld and NSW right now. Gas companies are digging up privately-owned farmland in their search for coal seam gas. Farmers want them off the land... but the gas companies say they have a right to dig deep. BELL RINGINGWe learn about church bell ringing from some of the best in the business. Two English bell ringing teams have arrived in Australia for a series of competitions. We find out that it helps to be good at maths if you want to make a sweet sound. BLIND CRICKETCricket fans will be turning on their TV's to watch the World Cup, taking place in India. But back home there's another international cricket comp turning heads - blind cricket. It has some different rules and can be really challenging, as James found out
