If they're so good, why haven't electric cars taken off yet?
BODY:
Electric vehicles have long been touted as the answer to many environmental problems from the potential to make a serious dent in emissions which harm human health and warm the planet - to reducing the demand on diminishing oil supplies.

So when might there be a tipping point for electric vehicles and what kind of infrastructure do countries need to make that happen? Chris Binns is the City of Sydney's manager of strategy and assets who, in 2009 made a plan to cut the city's vehicle fleet emissions by 20 percent in five years. That target's been exceeded by introducing electric cars and hybrid-diesel trucks and Chris Binns is in our Auckland studio.

The fight to get back Nazi looted art
BODY:
California Lawyer, Randol Schoenberg fought the Austrian government for the return of five Klimt paintings stolen by the Nazis, a story that was turned into the film The Woman in Gold, starring Helen Mirren.
EXTENDED BODY:
In many ways, it was simple guidebooks which helped California Lawyer Randol Schoenberg win the return of five Klimt paintings stolen by the Nazis.
The incredible story has just been turned into the film The Woman in Gold, starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds.
It was 1998 and octogenerian Maria Altmann found out that Austria had passed a restitution act, which included compensation for looted art.
Maria Altman had fled to the United States when Germany annexed Austria as part of its third reich in 1938. She was a member of one of Vienna's most prominent Jewish families, the Bloch-Bauer's, who owned many works of art, including five paintings by Gustav Klimt - one of which was a portrait of her aunt Adele Bloch Bauer.
When Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany, the Bloch Bauer's property was seized, along with their art.
Altmann hired the grandson of a friend to represent her, and try and get the works back.
Schoenberg was 32, and working at a big LA law firm, but had never worked on a case like this before.
He was told by many legal experts that there was no way the Belvedere Museum in Vienna would give up such prized works.
An eight-year legal battle ensued.
"At first we tried to get the Austrians to do the right thing, and they refused. And then we tried to see if there was a way to sue in Austria, but they require you to deposit with the court a percentage of the value at stake in the litigation, so it would have been several million dollars, which was just not possible for Maria."
Instead Schoenberg looked at suing the Austrian government in Los Angeles, which required meeting some complex legal conditions, proving breaches of international law and that the organisation holding the works was involved in commercial activity in the US.
He discovered the museum had published guidebooks in the US.
"So we filed a law suit. I actually left the big law firm and went out on my own, which is a bit crazy I guess, but I filed the lawsuit Maria Altmann against the Republic of Austria and decided to see what would happen"
The Austrian government tried to get the case dismissed, as did the US government, which feared it would open up a can of worms. It went all the way to the Supreme Court, which allowed him to sue the Austrian government.
But rather than taking that legal action, Altmann was 89 at the time, he suggested they go into binding arbitration with Austria.
"It was all or nothing, the Austrians refused to negotiate any type of settlement, they refused to take any other position. They wanted to keep the paintings and not settle in any way, and that forced us to make it an all or nothing issue."
Three Austrian judges took four months to reach their decision, which was that the art works should be returned to Altmann and her family.
"The greatest moment for me was when we brought the paintings to Los Angeles and they were all displayed in one room. And that is how she remembered them, they had all been in one room in her Uncle's home... You could see that she had become a hero for the rest of her family and she had reunited them with their history, with their legacy."
The Altmann family eventually sold the works for more than $US300 milllion. Schoenberg received a large cut and now specialises in legal cases related to the recovery of looted or stolen artworks.

Save the Crystal Palace

EXTENDED BODY:
She’s 86-years old and looking a bit down at heel. But a group of film makers is hoping they can resurrect Mt Eden’s old Crystal Palace Picture Theatre, if they can only find her a champion.
The Crystal Palace was built in 1928 for the Hippodrome Theatre Company and opened in 1929 with the Crystal Wintergarden cabaret downstairs and the theatre above. Initially it was designed for live shows but that soon gave way to silent movies followed quickly by the talkies.
By August 1929 the Crystal Palace was the first suburban cinema to be equipped for sound, vast wooden-cased speakers imported from the United States. They’re actually still there.
Left: detail of the ceiling. Right: detail of the floor
In its heyday the building was lit up like a chandelier and came with a waterfall curtain and chaser lights. The local power supplier had to install an extra substation to cope. On opening day the Mayor of Mount Eden had to conduct the ceremony twice because so many people turned up.
The downstairs cabaret was a popular dance venue, particularly when Epi Shalfoon and his band played there every Saturday night for almost twenty years. Shalfoon died there on the dance floor in 1953.
Filmmaker Robin Gee has spent several weeks camping at the Crystal Palace, inviting folk in to tell their stories about the old place. All this is in preparation for the start of filming.
Robin is part of Auckland’s Monster Valley Creative Agency which is producing the short documentary, as part Loading Docs 2015. That’s an initiative supported by the Film Commission and New Zealand on Air to raise the profiles of kiwi documentary makers. Robin’s team is one of ten making the docos, which will be released in July.
Robin Gee says there are many stunning art deco, glass and decorative features hiding away behind a 1970’s makeover waiting to be revealed, as is the original orchestra pit. He says the building needs someone to champion its cause and he hopes the documentary will ignite the cause. He says suburban cinemas may no longer be popular but the Crystal Palace has always kept its cool by reinventing itself

Geoff Scott's Chocolate Fudge Slice
Belinda Jackson's wine picks:
Escarpment The Edge Pinot Gris 2013 $14.99
This is from one of New Zealand's leading wine personalities and the man behind much of New Zealand's success with Pinot Noir, Larry McKenna. As with all of Larry's Escarpment wines, this Pinot Gris is from Martinborough. It's a serious style - just off dry with aromas and flavours of white peach, apricot, quince and pear. A textural, satisfying wine and amazing value for money.
Taylors Promised Land Shiraz Cabernet 2013 $17 but under $15 on special
A nice little winter warmer for those who prefer their reds smooth with a good dollop of sweet, ripe fruit. This is a very easy to enjoy style - bright cherry red with a leafy aroma and also ripe plums then this mouthful of smoothness - quite dense, dark fruits that coat the mouth. A real crowd-pleaser.
Saint Clair Pioneer Block 3, 43 Degrees 2014 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc $27ish
Aromas were escaping out of the bottle before I even poured the wine into a glass! Lime zest, lemon barley, pineapple aromas, then a big succulent mouthful of juicy fruit balanced with a fresh acidity. This is a big version of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc! Not a wine to hang on to for too long in my opinion, rather it's great to enjoy while bursting with aroma and flavour.

8:25 Early Electronic Music
Electronic music is often viewed as a musical genre that stands separate from other genres. However, since the invention of the Telharmonium, electronic instruments have been integrated into various styles of music as well as our lives in general. Learn about the early development of electronic music with Thom Holmes, as he explains his collection of electronic music that spans from 1930 – 1985, electronic instruments, tape composition, and Motown’s neglected Moog synthesizer.

While some native woods work well, his favourite bow wood is osage orange, a tree brought to New Zealand by American gold prospectors, it's dense and springy.

100 Years 100 Horses
BODY:
The Anzac Day remembrance in North Canterbury celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. At dawn a company of 100 horses and riders dressed in replica World War I uniforms rode in formation from Peaks Hall near Hawarden to the Waikari War Memorial to place crosses at the cenotaph to commemorate the fallen. The idea behind the Anzac 100 Years 100 Horses event came from local resident and ex-serviceman Terry King, whose great-grandfather won a medal for his part in the conflict.
EXTENDED BODY:
The Peaks Hall is well off the beaten track. It sits beside a gravel crossroad in the heart of North Canterbury’s dryland sheep farming country. A cenotaph in front of the hall is dedicated to the men who left their farms to go and fight in the Great War. Many of them never returned.
The cenotaph was the focal point of the Anzac 100 Years 100 Horses Event organised by Hawarden resident and ex-serviceman Terry King and supported wholeheartedly by the local community.
After a dawn ANZAC service in front of the cenotaph, 100 horses and riders, who had been practicing for three days in a paddock behind the hall, rode in formation for 20 kilometres to the Waikari War Memorial to place crosses at the cenotaph to commemorate the fallen.
The riders were dressed in replica World War I uniforms to pay tribute to the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, which left Lyttelton in 1914 for the conflict in Turkey with nearly 2000 men and 2000 horses.
Terry says “My passion was to remember the men and the horses and the bond they shared because they slept together, they ate together, they fought together and they died together.”
