Corruption in Afghanistan; Green Kibbutz and Combat Barbie.

Corruption in Afghanistan
We hear from Herat in western Afghanistan where a new children's hospital needed extensive repairs almost as soon as it opened because of corruption and defective workmanship. The BBC's Harun Najafizada tells us about other examples he has seen of inappropriate or sub-standard projects, and describes how corruption affects ordinary Afghans. 

Green Kibbutz
Outlook's Judy Herman visits a kibbutz in the Arava Desert, where teenagers  from Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories are learning together about the fight against climate change.

"Combat Barbie"
Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge received a commendation for bravery while serving in Iraq. She has also won awards in a different field - as a beauty queen. The current Miss England talks to Lucy Ash about her double life.
