  Tony Robinson - Down Under [#101Z] Race to the End of the World Tony examines the beginnings of white settlement in Australia. Why did it remain undiscovered by European maritime nations for so many hundreds of years, and how was Captain Cook able to claim it for Britain in 1770? Tony gets an aboriginal perspective of what it was like to witness boatloads of ghost-like creatures arriving from over the horizon ... the first contact. He finds a man with an incredible theory about who really got to Australia first after the aborigines. Was it the Dutch? The French? The Chinese? Or perhaps, just perhaps, Egyptians set foot Down Under thousands of years ago. duration 52:04   STEREO TVPG

  Tony Robinson - Down Under [#102Z] Against The Odds The colony started with a bang, but from that point it was a bitter struggle for survival. With the assistance of Tim Flannery, Tony recreates the orgy that was said to have taken place when women were brought ashore many days after the men first landed. From day one the challenge was to find and grow food to sustain the new colony. Captain Phillip had come well stocked, but had neglected to bring a farmer. Knowing that food was their lifeline, he issued a decree: if food is stolen, the thief will be hanged whether he be convict or soldier. Phillip also tried to engage the indigenous people, with disastrous results. Thomas Keneally takes Tony to the beach where Australia's first assassination attempt took place: the spearing of Governor Arthur Phillip. duration 1:06:39   STEREO TVPG

  THIS WEEK in Northern California [#2333H] June 15, 2012 NEWS PANEL
  BUDGET UPDATE - As home care workers and their clients protested at the state Capitol, legislative Democrats sent their second budget plan to Gov. Brown earlier this week. Though it does not include hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to welfare and other social programs that the governor demanded, Democratic lawmakers say that both houses plan to vote before the midnight deadline on June 15 to avoid losing their salaries. Republicans boycotted the budget hearing Thursday saying the process lacks transparency.
  BAY AREA TRANSIT - It's been a big week for transportation in the Bay Area. A West Oakland fire shut down BART service on Thursday, creating havoc for East Bay commuters. CalTrans struck back at the Sacramento Bee's allegations of improper inspections on the Bay Bridge's new eastern span structure. Meanwhile, excavation began this week on San Francisco's Central Subway tunnel, despite the fact that federal funding for the majority of the $1.6 billion project is still pending approval.
  FIRE SEASON - California fire season is off to an early and active start, due to a record dry winter, rising temperatures and gusty winds. Firefighters have already responded to twice as many wildfires as they had by this time last year. According a new UC Berkeley study, the West will be increasingly prone to wildfires over the next three decades, due to the effects of climate change.
  Guests: Marisa Lagos, San Francisco Chronicle; Will Reisman, San Francisco Examiner; Tom Vacar, KTVU.
  CLIMATE WATCH CONVERSATION: PHYSICIST RICHARD MULLER - Richard Muller is not a climatologist, yet he is one of the most controversial figures in climate science. Until recently, the UC Berkeley physicist was a sturdy skeptic of the science behind global warming. But last fall, after he conducted a comprehensive analysis of more than 200 years of global temperature data, he emerged an apparent convert. Now Muller's set to publish a new book that could thrust him in the spotlight again; "Energy for Future Presidents" casts a critical eye on many current "green energy" solutions while championing more controversial methods like nuclear power and natural gas fracturing or "fracking." duration 26:46   STEREO TVRE

Who's winning the debate over the economy? Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post will have the latest from the campaign trail.
  * Europe is dealing with its own economic crisis that's left millions of people across the continent out of work. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times returns from a trip overseas to report on how a number of austerity programs designed to ease the European recession have done little to reduce high unemployment and stabilize economies.
  * As the violence continues to escalate in Syria, Russia is rejecting claims by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Moscow is supplying Damascus with arms that could be used against peaceful protesters. Peter Baker of The New York Times will examine how the crisis in Syria has strained US-Russian relations ahead of President Obama's meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week.
  * Just days after announcing an independent investigation into national security leaks, Attorney General Eric Holder had to defend his decision to a Senate Judiciary Committee. Republican Committee members want Holder to appoint an outside special counsel to lead the criminal investigation because they believe some leaks may have come from inside the White House.
