4 Eva
How would it be to live you whole life in a hospital ward? 20/20 meets 4-year old Eva Mitchell who knows nothing else - since she was born with majorly underdeveloped vital organs, Auckland's Starship Hospital has been home.
She's a very sick little girl - but also full of energy and cheekiness and she loves her life .Her Mum and 6-year old sister live alongside her at Ronald McDonald House while dad keeps the home fires burning.
Many may say they're trapped in an institution with no way out until Eva can't survive any longer, but for this inspirational family, every day is precious and life as a family with two gorgeous girls is worth every moment and every sacrifice.

Murder in the Classroom
14-year old Brandon McInerney and 15-year old Lawrence King sat a row apart in 8th grade English. Just days before Valentine's Day, Brandon brought a gun to middle school, and shot, and killed Larry in front of his classmates.
The unanswered question remains, why? Could a schoolyard crush - one boy's same-sex attraction - be a motive for murder?
20/20 follows the trial and speaks with the boy's teacher, and members of the jury.

Steve's Secrets to Successes
With the recent death of Steve Jobs people are already asking what was it that made this college drop out the great leader and innovator that he became?
20/20 asks what did he know that we didn't, and how can we use that knowledge in our own lives?

Don't miss 20/20 - the best of New Zealand and international Current Affairs with reporters, Emma Keeling, Hannah Ockelford, Erin Conroy and Sonya Wilson. Thursday TV2 at 9.30pm
