50 year old Maria Korp had been unconscious since February - when she
was attacked in her garage and left in a car boot for four days. Last

"Breaking the Poverty Cycle". Programme #1 provides both a global and

Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting,
current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "International
Criminal Court

fact that it exists offers hope, argues Michele Ernsting from
Radio Netherlands. [T;%]

threat in
Australia and during the summer months that threat, more often than
not, becomes reality. In January 2003 Canberra suffered - four people
died and many, many dwellings were destroyed. It is of course
impossible to put a figure on the cost of these tragedies, especially
the human cost, but some of the victims are going to court to try as
we hear on this week’s edition of the Australian Express. We’ll also
be taking a trip down the ‘Sunset Boulevard’, the Andrew Lloyd Webber
musical that is about to open in Melbourne. Aussie Lifesavers pit
their skills against teams from the rest of the world and we go in
search of ‘muddies’, or Mud Crabs, as we fend off the mosquito's and
saltwater crocodiles of the Northern Territory.
