In mid-February a flaming meteorite, whose shock wave equaled 20 nuclear bombs, streaked across the sky and slammed into the central Russian city of Chelyabinsk. It damaged dozens of buildings and injured hundreds of people. RT went to central Russia to talk with witnesses and scientists and to find out whether the country should get ready for more such phenomena.

  ► Australia targets poor organ donation. Australia is encouraging people to donate their organs as supply falls short of demand. There are, for example, 1,200 people on a kidney waiting list. Compensation is one of the ways being used to drive up supply, with people being paid while taking time off work to donate and then recover following surgery. With better medical practices and plenty of doctors, all that is needed is more organ donors. Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reports from Sydney.

[Ha ...I will inquire further issue of organ donation to my spiritual teacher, primarily based on the views of several different religions, both among in organ recipients and donors, for example a Muslim should donate to fellow Muslims only, or also to non-Muslims? Can the body organs of the poor be traded in the market like other commodities?]
