Summary OLD NEWSOne of Australia's biggest media organisations has announced that it's making major changes to its newspaper business. Some say it could be the beginning of the end of newspapers as we know them. So what's causing this shake-up and how's it going to affect the way we get news? RHINO TRADELots of rhinos are killed so their horns can be cut off and sold illegally. It might surprise you to hear that some African conservationists are now campaigning to make rhino horn trading legal. Some even want to cut the horns off all the wild rhinos they can find. So how could this actually be good for the animal? SLIMMING SOFT DRINKSSoft drinks can be a big cause of obesity. The mayor of New York thinks it's such a big problem that he's trying to ban the sale of super-sized soft drinks. But should people get to make the choice for themselves? And how bad can a bit of soft drink actually be? MODERN MAPSHelping you to find your way in the world is a competitive business. Recently Apple announced that it's going to take on Google Maps and create its own version of street view by sending cameras driving, walking and flying around the world. Technology like that is changing the way we think about maps. It got us wondering how map making has changed over the years.WEIRD WATERWe're always being told to save water.
