Live reports on what's new, fascinating and bizarre in the world of science and technology. Each day, 900,000 eucalyptus trees are pulped to make India's newspapers, and yet the people who live in the shadow of the plantations are protesting that not enough trees are being felled. They accuse the eucalyptus of robbing the earth of precious water and doing irreparable damage. But those involved in the huge paper industry deny that there is a problem. Can the scientists prove once and for all whether the eucalyptus is friend or foe? Plus a report on how engineers and medics have teamed up to breathe air into the fragile lungs of very premature babies - lungs not yet mature enough to work on their own.
