Containers full of British garbage are ending up in Brazilian ports -- we interview the Brazilian environment agency about dumping by firms who disguise waste as recyclable plastic. Nelson Mandela celebrates his 91st birthday by urging everyone to spend some time helping their community. We ask you how you'd use the sixty-seven minutes of your time he's asking for -- one minute for every year of his struggle against apartheid. And we look at the legacy of revolution in Latin America -- does the recent coup in Honduras show that democracy is still fragile there?
