Summary MEDAL MISERYThe Australian team didn't get as many gold medals as they'd hoped for at the London Olympics. It got lots of people talking about whether we should be doing more to produce top athletes. One of the people in charge of our Olympic strategy says the answer is to provide a competitive sport program in all schools.MARS MISSIONNASA has landed a new robot rover on Mars. The vehicle, called Curiosity, is on a two year mission to find out if there has ever been any life on the red planet. MILK WARSLast year supermarkets dropped the cost of their home-brand milk to 1 dollar a litre. Many dairy farmers say that price is too low for them to run their businesses successfully. So now some are on a mission to convince us to pay more for our daily drop.E-WASTEIf you wanted to get rid of an old TV set you wouldn't chuck it in the recycling bin would you? But that doesn't mean electronics can't be recycled. We visit an e-waste recycling centre and find out about new laws which will make it easier for people to dispose of TV's and computers in an environmentally friendly way. FASHION KIDSHave you ever thought about becoming a fashion designer? Recently some kids from all over Australia took part in a competition to show that they could be fashionistas of the future. James meets some of them and finds out what it takes to reach the top in this industry
