The most active volcano in the world, Kilauea, is located in a park on the island of Hawaii that is appropriately named Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. In June 2014, Kilauea exploded and a river of lava flowed out of it and eventually reached the village of Pahoa, 20 km away.

A documentary video crew with the travel program "Sekai Isan" ("World Heritage"; TBS, Sun., 6 p.m.) was there to record this amazing phenomenon, having received special permission from the village authority. The crew interviewed residents and filmed the lava flow up close. Though the eruption caused a great deal of trouble, Hawaiians are used to it, and one of the great things about the park is that visitors can observe an active volcano from a safe distance. The program also explains how lava has "revives" the island's natural environment.

Miki Kamata was born without any limbs below her knees. When she was 1 year old she started wearing prosthetics, but she soon found that her natural element was water. Her mother would take her to the pool. Miki has never been afraid of the water, and soon she became a powerful swimmer. Eventually, she became the Asian record-holder for the best time in the 400-meter freestyle, but since last year she seems to have hit a wall. On "Mezase! 2020 Paralympian X Kin-medaristo Shibata Ai" ("Take Aim! 2020 Paralympian with Gold Medalist Ai Shibata"; NHK-G, Tues., 10:55 p.m.)), gold medal-winning swimmer Ai Shibata gets together with Miki and offers her advice, since she has noticed that Miki's "swimming method is similar to mine." Miki's goal is, of course, to compete in the 2020 Paralympics, and with Shibata's help she hopes to regain her old form.
