There are 22 initiatives under the Childhood Obesity Plan, including identifying obese children before they start school, and offering their families diet and exercise advice. The Children's Commissioner Russell Wills, who is also a paediatrician says the new measures don't deal with underlying causes of obesity, and just referring children to health programmes will achieve little.

EXTENDED BODY:
Sarah Houbolt is bringing the early 20th-century freak show performer, 'KooKoo the Bird Girl', aka Minnie Woolsey, back to life in a gutsy one-woman movement theatre performance.
As the story goes Kookoo, was born in Georgia, USA in 1880 with Virchow-Seckel syndrome, a rare skeletal growth disorder . She was also bald and toothless. She spent years in an asylum until she was rescued by a showman, keen to cash in on her unusual looks. But KooKoo the Birdgirl had an extraordinary life and even featured in Tod Browning's film 'Freaks' (1932), which was banned for 30 years for being too controversial.
Sarah Houbolt, herself, was born with Hallerman Streiff Syndrome and lives with partial sight, so is able to bring KooKoo to the stage in a deeply engaging and heartfelt way. By embracing the origins of her art form she manages to unearth the life of a mysterious woman with an incredible human story, while reclaiming what it means to be a 'freak show' performer and brings the ultimate, quirky, story to a contemporary Auckland audience.
Sarah Houbolt talks to Kathryn Ryan

Feature interview - Yeonmi Park
BODY:
North Korean defector Yeonmi Park never thought she could tell anyone her story. It's the story of a 13 year old girl who escapes hunger and the brutal dictatorship of Kim Jong Un only to be sold to human traffickers in China for $260. It's the story of a North Korean girl and her mother who escape again, this time across the frozen Gobi desert into Mongolia to finally find true freedom in South Korea. Yeonmi Park never thought she could relive the horrors she witnessed but now as an activist, she wants to shine a light on the darkest place in the world. She writes about her ordeal in her book, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom.
EXTENDED BODY:
Yeonmi Park grew up in North Korea, where starvation was a daily threat and her mother constantly warned her to be careful because even mice and birds have ears.
At age 13, she and her mother escaped to China where they were at the mercy of human traffickers.
Eventually, after a four day journey across the frozen Gobi desert, she and her Mother made it to safety in South Korea.
Park is now a human rights advocate.
She tells her story in a new book called In Order To Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom
Park grew up in North Korea, but didn’t realize the extent of the nation’s privation and repression until her father, a civil servant, was arrested for smuggling.
The family soon lost its relatively privileged status and, facing starvation, Park and her mother escaped to the South.
Her memoir is a harrowing account of the long journey through China and Mongolia at the mercy of human traffickers.
Today, Park is a human rights advocate and a leader of young Korean dissidents.
She talks to Afternoons about her new book.

Hair of the kuri or Māori dog
BODY:
Ecologist Cilla Wehi hopes that the hair and bones of kuri, or now extinct Māori dog, might hold clues to what they ate
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
“How would an animal that’s so treasured and so loved, how would that disappear?”
Cilla Wehi, ecologist, Landcare Research ponders the extinction of the kuri or Māori dog
Cilla Wehi is an ecologist at Landcare Research, and she is exploring the relationship between Māori and the introduced species that came with them on their waka when they migrated here from the Pacific, about 750 years ago. On board the canoe were kiore, or Pacific rats, and kuri, Māori dogs. She is particularly interested in why the treasured canine companions became extinct in the 19th century, and is hoping that finding out what the kuri were eating over time may shed some light on the mystery.
Migoto Eria is curator Māori at Otago Museum, which has a small collection of kahu kuri, Māori cloaks, made from kuri hair and skin, as well as some well-preserved kuri skins collected in caves and overhang in Central Otago in the 19th century. Migoto says it’s unusual to see intact skins, and more usual to see hair and strips of skin that have been woven into cloaks. The kahu kuri are an important taonga.
“Dogskin cloaks were only worn by chiefs – if you’re wearing a kahu kuri you’re a really important person,” says Migoto. “We have them embedded in traditional chants, where we want the next generation to be adorned in the chiefly dogskin cloaks of their fathers or grandfathers so that they become the leaders of tomorrow.”
“If we find some hairs that have already fallen off cloaks or skins we can sample them,” says Cilla. “We can look at the stable isotopes in the hair and work out whether those dogs were well fed, what they were eating – and that tells us about the life of the dog, and also something about the relationship they had with people at that time.”
Kuri were short stocky fox-like dogs with little pointed ears, big strong jaws and bushy tails. Cilla explains that kuri had many uses: they were companions, protectors, super-sensors that could be used as hunting companions, and they could also be eaten, either at celebrations or when there was little other food available. She suspects there were a number of reasons kuri became extinct: interbreeding with domestic European dogs was probably a key reason, but she also says it was highly likely that uncontrolled kuri came into conflict with pastoral farmers and were killed. She says it’s important to remember that it was also a period of social upheaval for Māori, and the traditional relationship between the dogs and people may have also been breaking down.
Cilla is interested in tracing the arc of social and ecological change through time, and she has access to kuri relicts that cover almost 700 years of Māori history.
She has already analysed samples of hair from kuri cloaks held at Te Papa, and says it is giving a much more complex picture than early accounts of kuri by early 19th century explorers such as Colenso would have suggested. He wrote that kuri largely ate fish, but evidence to date is that their diet was much more varied than that.
“There were dogs that were eating at quite different trophic levels. There were some dogs eating much more protein than others, as you might imagine if they were the pets of chiefs, for example.” says Cilla. “Then there were other dogs, that when we compared them to modern dogs that are on vegan or vegetarian diets, they were quite similar - which suggested to us they were eating a lot more vegetables.”
It was also possible to say that some dogs had a much more inland food signature, while others were clearly living closer to the coast.
While many of the cloaks date back to the late 18th and early 19th century, and Otago Museum’s dogskins are mid and possibly late 19th century, Cilla has to use bones to go further back in time. She is collaborating with archaeologist Ian Barber, at the University of Otago, about kuri bones collected from three different midden sites. Bones from the Shag River mouth are from the 14th century, and there is evidence that lots of moa and seals were being eaten there. Bones from Purakanui are early 15th century and by then there was very little evidence of moa being eaten.
“It will be interesting to see from the isotope signatures from the dogs whether at Shag River people were feeding plentiful moa to the dogs,” says Ian. “And whether we can contrast that to Purakanui where moa were relatively scarce and therefore we expect dogs were eating other food.”
A third site from the northern South Island was a much more agricultural site, and Cilla and Ian wonder if this will mean there is a stronger vegetable signal in the kuri bones.
Migoto and Cilla are both sad that many of the kuri cloaks held in museums have become ‘orphaned’ from their history, and they hope that the research might also be able to add something to the story of each item, such as where in the country the taonga have come from.
Cilla's research is funded by a Marsden Fast-Start Award.
Recent research published by University of Otago PhD student Karen Greig shows that genetic testing reveals kuri are most closely related to Indonesian dogs, rather than other Polynesian dogs in the Pacific.

1:15 Bouganville Waka - Robin Martin
We're off to New Plymouth to talk about a waka that's sailed thousands of kilometres, with a cargo of more than one tonne of cocoa beans. The Waka Uto ni Yalo arrrived in Port Taranaki yesterday after leaving Bougainville four months ago. And there are plans to turn its cargo into twelve thousand chocolate bars. Radio New Zealand's regional reporter, Robin Martin, is at Port Taranaki.
1:20 Samuel Lakey - Rowan Carroll
It's taken 82 years, but today, the remains of Samuel Lakey have finally been put to rest at Huntly Cemetery. Samuel and his wife Christobel were murdered by their neighbour in the 1930's. And up until now, his remains have been stored in a back-room police museum collection. Rowan Carroll is the director fo the New Zealand Police Museum. And she's been at the service at Huntly Cemetery this morning.

Star Wars fans are eagerly awaiting the release of The Force Awakens trailer this afternoon. Lucasfilm released the poster yesterday as part of the countdown to the release. And it's gained some criticism. Star Wars fanatic, Olly Gibbs, is a London-bassed designer and illustrator. He's reworked the poster, claiming on Twitter that's he's improved the poster by ten thousand per cent. We caught up with Olly earlier to find out what he thought was wrong with it. He says the poster is missing the character Jar Jar Binks, so he added him.

It's the story of a North Korean girl and her mother who escape again, this time across the frozen Gobi desert into Mongolia to finally find true freedom in South Korea. Yeonmi Park never thought she could relive the horrors she witnessed but now as an activist, she wants to shine a light on the darkest place in the world. She writes about her ordeal in her book, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom.
3:30 Our Changing World - Alison Ballance

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckey's spellbound by the mesmerising psychedelic covers of Sexwitch, the new collaboration between Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan and Toy.
Sexwitch is the rather ungainly name of the self titled album featuring Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan, alongside British psychedelic krautrockers Toy, and producer Dan Carey. It’s a covers album featuring half a dozen, what could be broadly described as ‘folk songs’ from the 60s and 70s, that span Iran, Moroocco and Thailand, as well as a solitary Western inclusion, and it might just be Khan’s most interesting project to date. The combination of talent and tunes is spectacular at times, and though 6 tracks is a stretch to call an album, it’s probably just about the right amount, considering the songs were learnt in a day and recorded the next, and there’s a fair bit of potentially grating, gratuitous wailing going on. Despite the jokey name, which falls flat but at least avoids being pretentious, Sexwitch is an exhilarating excursion that leaves you hoping for more.

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney regales in Richard Hawley's sophisticated South Yorkshire crooning.
For some reason, Richard Hawley the UK troubadour with a voice and sound that often makes you feel as if the last half century hasn’t happened, has never quite registered as he should in New Zealand. The 48 year old Sheffield singer, who first found success with minor league Britpop act Longpigs, has built an impressive catalogue, kicking off with the scruffy majesty of his solo debut Late Night Final in 2001. While his sound and style is undeniably a reflection of his record collection, and some high grade study of pop and rock classicism, Hawley never lacks for imagination, and with his rich baritone voice, and the melodramatic musical shifts he seems to flick off with abandon, he has never made the same album twice. On Hollow Meadows, written during a period of incapacitation, he brings heart dropping musical moments, on a collection of songs that all about understatement, gestures and nuances, and an appreciation of the little things.
Songs played: Long Time Down , Sometimes I Feel, Which Way, Nothing Like a Friend, The World Looks Down, I Still Want You, Heart of Oak, Welcome the Sun

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney sits in on the Kurt Vile's latest batch of songs from the couch.
Written on his couch at home in Philadelphia, and recorded at a variety of studios across the length and breadth of the United States, B’lieve I'm Going Down, Kurt Vile’s follow up to Wakin On A Pretty Daze finds the softly spoken, guitar picker looking inwards for inspiration and quietly coming up trumps. The bluesy album title is only one of many conscious nods to the music culture that Vile thrives on and uses as raw fuel for his own excursions, though he has reached a point of self assurance now that the artist he most sounds like is himself these days, even if there are a number of constituents and ingredients required for that recipe. There’s often a healthy dose of humour present in Vile’s self-depreciating lines and kooky wordcraft, that serves to balances his more melancholic musings, and this is no exception. While he often makes it all sound deceptively simple with his lackadaisical delivery, there’s a real complexity, and growing prowess, in his music and lyrics.
Songs played: Pretty Pimpin, Life Like This, That’s Life, tho (almost hate to say), Lost My Head There, Dust Bunnies, Wheelhouse, I’m An Outlaw
