As France struggles to figure out how to combat Islamist radicalism and promote integration, politicians there have called for France’s Muslims to “choose the Republic”, in essence to be more like Ahmed Merabet – the police officer killed responding to the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices. Insight follows the BBC’s Helen Grady as she meets Muslims in France and speaks to them about their response to the Charlie Hebdo attack. Do they feel they need to do more to be French, or does the Republic's strong insistence on secularism make them feel that there is little place left for French Muslims?

They dive-bomb their prey at 150 kph making the native falcon (karearea) New Zealand’s fastest and most agile bird. But with fewer than 6000 left in the wild, these supreme aerial hunters may not be seen in our skies for much longer.
‘We must save the falcon from extinction – and we can....’ - Marlborough Falcon Trust chairman Andy Frost.

Aviary manager Diana Dobson and Marlborough Falcon Trust chairman Andy Frost discuss the falcon chicks.
The Marlborough Falcon Trust (supported by Brancott wines) is successfully breeding falcons in captivity and releasing the young birds back into the wild.

Newly hatched and very young chicks. Image courtesy Marlborough Falcon Trust.
Falcons are threatened on three fronts:-

their ground-level nests are predated by introduced mammals.
they are often killed or injured by farmers and the public who see them as a threat to chickens. But, in fact, falcons take their prey in flight, not on the ground.
birds are electrocuted by uninsulated power transformers.

The captive breeding and release programme can only succeed if it is accompanied by public support and enthusiasm for the survival of the species. To this end, Diana Dobson takes MFT’s ‘advocacy’ bird Fern out to meet communities and demonstrates Fern’s beauty and abilities in flight.

Chicks are very 'talkative' and aviary manager Diana Dobson with Fern image courtesy Marlborough Falcon Trust.

“I hate clubs, I don’t really drink that much, I play music that only I want to listen to… I must be the worst kind of DJ!”

Haden Gilgen aka DJ Spell is quiet and unassuming – traits that you would not expect for a man who can perform in front of crowds of thousands, as he did at last year’s DMC finals held in London last September.
DMC or Disco Mix Club, started out as a radio show in Luxembourg in the early 80s, giving birth to DJ competitions from the mid 80’s and eventually opening up opportunities via the internet. The DMC champs are held annually, starting with international online rounds where DJ’s record their sets from the seclusion of their own homes or studios. The qualifiers from the final round head to London for what sounds like a massive stand-off.

A graduate of Hip Hop pioneer DJ Raw’s DJing school at Whitireia Polytechnic, Spell says that attending the course was a means to learn from the best that New Zealand had to offer, and upon graduating Spell encountered early success, competing in competitions that took him to Poland and Canada, with London evading him until recently.
Like any good performer, Spell is an artist consumed by his passion for music, but was let down by nerves whilst competing in the DMC’s in 2013.
“Yeah, I worked really hard and nerves just got the best of me. I get really nervous… but I’m pretty much over that now,” he laughs.
Having since dealt with his nerves, and coming out 8th in the world at the DMC’s 2014, this year Spell has the opportunity to defend his New Zealand DMC title, which he says is ‘a stamp of approval to his name.’ But DJing wasn’t his first love—it was B-Boying that opened his eyes to the opportunity and Spell feels that this background gave him a greater understanding of what it means to battle: “I started breaking in 98’ but I found out a couple of years later [that] I wasn’t actually that good, so I kinda stopped [and ] that’s how I got into DJing”
No longer on the floor trying to impress with fancy footwork and tricks, instead, Spell battles on the decks controlling the music; his swift handiwork across the turn-tables can either aid or impede a B-Boy’s next move on the floor, and for Spell, this enables him to produce intricate mixes that surprise an audience.
“Making beats is all I think about. Sometimes I really hate it. I look at all my friends—they all have super good jobs and I’m like a super poor DJ, [but] I can stay home and make beats every day…I must be doing something right.”

When you have no idea of the modern world, when things like a car seem foreign, sugar tastes like nothing you have experienced, how would that feel? The Pintupi nine family experienced that in 1984 when they were found by chance near Lake Mackey in Western Australia.
The family was thrust into the media spotlight, labelled ‘The Lost Tribe’, displaced from their home and made to feel ashamed due to their lack of clothing. Understandably the Pintupi Nine shunned all other contact with media.
Last year it was the 30th anniversary of the Pintubi Nine family being discovered, and due to a relationship built up over time between NG Indigenous Media (based in the Gibson Desert, Western Australia) and the family, some of the family members decided to share their story for the first time in this in-depth documentary, The Pintupi Nine which features in this week’s episode of Te Ahi Kaa.
Story told by the Pintupi family: Walampiri, Yurrkultji, Talti, Takeria, Thomas and Walala.

He describes himself as the world's first Blind Cricket commentator. Katy Gosset talks to Dean Du Plessis who uses the sounds of ball and bat to help report on the sport.
The thwack of the bat and the dragging of feet at the stumps. Background sounds to the average cricket fan.
But, to Dean Du Plessis, these tell the tale of what's happening on the field.
The 38 year-old from Zimbawe describes himself as the world's first blind cricket commentator and has analysed the game on both radio and television.
He works in close partnerships with other commentators but picks up details from the small sounds others might not hear.
"I started to realise that by listening to the stump microphones I could tell who was doing what, more or less."

He says players revealed individual habits such as [South African player] Shaun Pollack dragging one foot as he reached the crease. "And Warney (Australian player Shane Warne) would give a massive grunt when he bowled so I certainly knew when Warney was bowling.
He says there are also clues to be gleaned from the batting.
"When a batsman hits the ball through the offside there's definitely a sharper crack sound to that and, then, when he plays the ball through the onside, it's a bit more muffled"

Giving it a Crack
In 2001 Dean finally got a chance to put his theories to the test.
A triangular series between Zimbawe, India and the West Indies led to a chance meeting with a well-known South African sports caster, Neil Manthorp.
Dean was invited to try his hand at commentating - albeit just for 15 minutes.
"You can understand it because, I mean, it’s a totally blind guy who now wants to commentate to the whole world on the Internet about what's happening in a game of cricket."

But before the broadcast was over, the London based producer was urging Dean to stay on for the rest of the series.
His foray into commentating attracted plenty of media interest and he has had a number of gigs in both radio and television.
But Dean says his dream job as a full-time cricket journalist still eludes him.
He says he would like to find such a position based on his skill, rather than the need to fulfil social obligations or meet disability quotas.
And he says he would jump at any broadcasting opportunity, including those outside Zimbabwe.
"You've heard what I can do so why not take the risk and start playing a few unorthodox shots as opposed to just playing with a straight bat because, I can assure you, I will reward you."

In the meantime Dean will be keeping a close eye on the Cricket World Cup and predicts New Zealand will be in the top four.

Redesigning Hospital Rooms for Tetraplegic Patients

EXTENDED BODY:
Katy Gosset visits a Christchurch hospital where tetraplegic patients are helping to redesign the spinal injury facility.

Phil Humphreys checks out the new facilities for spinal injury patients at St Georges Hospital.
Phil Humphreys likes a shelf for his radio in a hospital bathroom, while a mirror at the right level is useful too.
And he's happy that a private hospital in Christchurch is seeking this kind of input from spinal injury patients.
"One good thing I like about St Georges is they're asking the users what they think would help make their stay and any other person coming in's stay as comfortable as they possibly can be."

St George's Hospital was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes and, as new wards are built, tetraplegics who use the facility have been offering advice on what works best for them.
Some of the new retrofitted rooms contain overhead hoists that carry on into the bathroom, allowing patients to be moved easily in a sling and with minimal exertion.
The rooms also mimic the layout of the ICU facilities so patients who have adapted to one system don't face another change in recovery.
Other patient feedback called for better shelving and larger rooms to better accommodate wheelchairs.

Louis Le Febre at St Georges Hospital.
Louis Le Febre describes himself as "new to the game" having been in a wheelchair for four years.
He's still adapting to his disability and, in particular, to the many accommodation facilities that have poor accessibility.
Hence he says the space in the new St Georges facilities is great as "wheel chairs take up a lot of room."
"I’ve got the one that I'm sitting in parked and then, of course, when I go to have a shower it's a different chair and then you've got chairs for guests - you really need space or else you're literally climbing over yourselves."

Louis says the hoist system is also very easy to use and requires a fraction of the energy usually needed to go to the bathroom.
"And I even get to drive the remote, so it’s all good !"

The Patient Care Manager Rae Green with plans for the new hospital development.
The hospital's Patient Care Manager, Rae Green, says management were adamant that spinal patients would help design the recovery rooms.
And she says their input has been invaluable.
"We would never have had the insight without their feedback so we're really grateful to them for offering us their time."

Until now there had been few New Zealand war deaths - about a dozen men had died from illness while in the army and had been given military funerals - their graves are cared for by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. For older men overseas service could take its toll on their health - as with 45-year-old Christchurch man Captain James Bell of the Medical Corps who died from a brain hemorrhage in Egypt on 29th December 1914. He had served in the South African War where he served as a civil surgeon. He was buried in the Cairo War Memorial Cemetery. Such is the way of things that his medals were auctioned last year for $1700.
The first casualty in action was William Ham on 5 February 1915 and his sister-in-law Violet Ham of Dunedin tells the effect on the family.

CRUISER ARRIVES
VISIT TO WELLINGTON
H.M.S. Newfoundland, a cruiser of the British Pacific Fleet, commanded by Captain A. A. C. Allen, R.N., arrived at Wellington this morning. There was a small crowd gathered at Aotea Quay to greet her, and as she drew alongside the ship's Royal Marine band played a rousing march. Many of the cruiser's complement were with her when she visited Auckland last May. Since then she has made a return trip to New Zealand, and has visited Bluff. Dunedin, and Lyttelton. On her way to Bluff the cruiser called at Milford Sound, where the ship's company got a fine view of the scenery- She left Lyttelton yesterday and made a comparatively slow passage up the coast, averaging only about 10 or 11 knots.
The crew is enthusiastic about New Zealand hospitality, and many of them intend to return to New Zealand soon. After their strenuous service in the Pacific the trip has been a holiday break for them and New Zealanders have been able to see a British cruiser and her crew and to realise that the younger Briton is not very different from his New Zealand contemporaries. The men have had a wonderful time, and have made many friends. Much as they enjoyed the parties and dances to which they have so often been invited, however, they best enjoyed invitations into private homes, where they could enjoy common fireside comforts.
Captain Allen, who was recently appointed to the ship, succeeded Captain W. Raveahill, C.8.E., R.N., who had been in command since February, 1944. The executive officer is Lieutenant- Commander M. Craif Waller, R.N. The ship's company totals about 70 officers and 765 ratings. There are two New Zealand midshipmen aboard, and until recently the Newfoundland carried six New Zealand ratings.
