The  2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake rocks the eastern coast of Hokkaido, in the Tokachi region of Japan while David Hempleman-Adams embarks on a trans-Atlantic flight in a wicker basket balloon. 

Meanwhile Dido goes to number one in the Aussie charts with 'White Flag' the lead single from her album 'Life for Rent. We think it may have had something to do with a fella called Slim Shady! 

We've got albums from Obie Trice, Outkast, Limp Bizkit, Morbid Angel and Nickelback and in music news Max Cavalera from Soulfly faces industrial action from his entire band. 

At the movies we've got sexy vampires and werewolves when Underworld takes the top spot at the US box office, NCIS debuts on the small screen and the Sopranos dominate the 55th Annual Emmy Awards. 

Plus we break down, in detail, the premiere of One Tree Hill thanks to a website called 'Television Without Pity'... and heaps more!
