Summary LAW OF THE SEA A lot of big news stories that we've heard about recently have happened on the ocean. There's been a search for a missing plane and arguments between countries about maritime borders. So who does own the oceans? What are the laws of the sea and what are the rights and responsibilities of different countries when it comes to using the oceans? TASSIE TIMBER There's a new government in charge in Tassie and one of the big things on their to do list is to expand logging areas. The timber industry has played a big role in Tassie's history and lots of people depend on it for jobs, but some are worried that more logging will put the environment at risk. BtN looks at both sides of the logging debate. VITAMIN DEBATE Vitamin supplements are big business and many are marketed at kids. But are they actually good for you? Experts say most kids get all of the vitamins and minerals they need from their food. BtN looks at why people take vitamin supplements and whether they're worth the money. DYSLEXIA Dyslexia is a condition that affects many Aussie kids. 14-year-old Eliza is one of them. She explains what it's like to have dyslexia, the problems it presents and how they can be overcome. YOUNG MUSOS Have you ever wanted to record your own song or music video? Well in the Queensland community of Woorabinda some professional musicians have been helping kids to do just that and they've unearthed some impressive talents. BtN looks at how the kids are using music to gain confidence and spread positive messages about their community
