Even though the wildfires have mostly been extinguished, the work in California is not over. Vince Gonzales tells us about a new problem that could crop up: mudslides. Workers are cleaning up debris, and preparing for the floods and mudslides that will come with the rainy season this winter. The problem is that the black hillsides are now almost totally water repellent. When the rains come, the water, the debris, ash and dead trees will go downhill fast.

Labor laws have come a long way in American history. Unfortunately, struggles still exist over child labor in many areas of the world. Liz Neisloss shows us how a group of child laborers are rescued from a sweatshop in New Delhi where they are forced to work on delicate beadwork for clothing. Many of the children - some as young as seven - come from Bihar, one of India's poorest states. The rescued children will get a safe place to live, food and education.
