1:20 How climate affects dolphins 

Major climate events, like El Nino, are affecting Dolphins - and not in good ways, new research suggests.

The Australian study looked at the movements and abundance of certain dolphins in certain areas and found extreme weather had a big influence on dolphin numbers and patterns.

It's expected to get a lot worse as climate change makes these weather events more frequent. 

We speak to Dr Kate Sprogis, from Murdoch university, who lead the team behind the study.

Clothing consumption is the fastest growing waste issue in our major cities, with fabrics like polyester now a huge contaminant in our waters.

New Zealand company The Formary is leading the country's textile reuse programme which aims to end this waste. It's so promising the programme's now being looked at as inspiration for similar projects in Australia and the Middle East. 

The creative director of the company, Bernadette Casey, tells us how it works.

Memories can be a blessing and a curse.  The witnesses of some of the most the most traumatic events in history, like the Holocaust and the Cambodian Killing Fields, are dying and  it is left to their children and grandchildren to preserve the memories.

But can the trauma be passed down too?

Author Elizabeth Rosner  is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors.  She explores the complexity of memory and how to preserve the past so the lessons of history are not lost in her book Survivor Cafe: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory.
