DIGITAL REVOLUTIONARIES UNDER SURVEILLANCE<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1405745/553073/26434/0/>
Reporter: Stan Correy
In Egypt democracy activists called themselves the Facebook revolutionaries, but in China there are fears the social networking sites will be used to spy on dissidents. For governments, social media represent easy access to their citizens, for good or ill. But for digital entrepreneurs, including the odd Russian billionaire, there must be money in it, if they could only find a way. No-one knows where it will go next.

HOW POLITICS NEGLECTS FEELINGS<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1405745/553073/26343/0/>
Speakers: David Brooks & Michael Scheuer
David Brooks, a leading political analyst for the New York Times and PBS NewsHour , has come to some surprising conclusions after years of observing political life. He says politicians place too much value on reason, and not enough on social relationships, emotion and morality. So many aspects of modern life are driven by unconscious feelings that politicians can only develop successful policies if they try to understand these feelings and learn the skills of intuition, sympathy and restraint. Also on Background Briefing today, some analysis from Michael Scheuer, formerly chief of the Bin-laden unit on what motivated Osama bin Laden.

BESS PRICE: WELCOME TO MY WORLD<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1405745/553073/26105/0/>
Producer: Chris Bullock
Warlpiri woman Bess Nungarrayi Price gives a personal account of the way violence has ripped apart her family, and others, in Aboriginal communities of Central Australia. Bess and her white husband, Dave, argue passionately for the right of people in these communities to live without the fear of violence, and for children in remote areas to have access to a good quality education.

MEDICAL TURF WARS<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1405745/553073/25940/0/>
Reporter: Brendan King
Physicians' assistants have joined pharmacists, nurse practitioners and optometrists to say they can do the straightforward, simple, and repetitive work that would take the load off GPs. Patient safety is central to the debate, as the AMA guards its turf.

LOW IQ AND IN JAIL<http://abcmail.net.au/t/1405745/553073/25941/0/>
Reporter Cathy Van Extel.
Many intellectually disabled people end up in jail. They plead guilty to minor crimes not understanding either social rules or the consequences. Hear the story of Melisa who has an IQ of 57, which is in the lowest l%, and who still faces jail.
