- China's Prison OrphansE3
China's Prison OrphansThey are the children of criminals. Their parents are doing time in Chinese prisons, some serving life sentences for horrific crimes. With no one to care for them and nowhere to go, Sun Village, a shelter in Beijing, takes them in. Run by a former prison officer, Sun Village is helping raise China's most vulnerable young people - teaching them to cook and clean, and helping them deal with their trauma. On this episode, 101 East meets the children growing up with their parents behind bars.

The Pacific's Nuclear TimebombThe Pacific paradise of Enewtak Atoll harbours a devastating secret - the toxic legacy of American nuclear testing. Between 1946 and 1958, the US military tested 43 nuclear bombs in the Pacific. Now a concrete dome - 46cm thick - seals 80,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste on the deserted island of Runit. But the dome is not working. Rising sea levels threaten to flush a vast stash of highly radioactive plutonium into the Pacific Ocean. This is not the only fallout - the soldiers who cleaned up the mess and the Marshallese islanders are abandoned by a government refusing any responsibility. - Korean Dogs: Friend or FoodE34
Korean Dogs: Friend or FoodIn South Korea, dog meat has been on the menu for centuries, with about 2 million dogs believed to be eaten every year. But strict government regulations and a growing animal rights movement are cracking down on the industry. Today, consumption is declining, especially among younger generations who see dogs as pets, not food. But dog farmers argue there's no difference between raising dogs and raising cows, pigs or chickens. And that the ancient cultural practice has health benefits. 101 East travels to South Korea to investigate the fight between those who love dogs, and those who love to eat them.
