Exiled leaders enter the country to take control of the government.

The top story is Afghanistan where the Taliban is unpacking their plans for the country and their plans for human rights, women's rights and Sharia law.

With tens of thousands trying to flee and western countries saying they're planning refugee programmes, we hear the thoughts of one young businesswoman about the dramatic events...she can't and won't leave. 

We hear from Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake and how the network of church assistance so important to so many Haitians has been wrecked by the quake. 

There are alarm bells sounding over the future of that Australian icon the Koala as well as a public health warning from Canada about a major outbreak of Syphilis.
