Bill McKibben - Global climate change and Paris talks
BODY:
The UN climate change talks in Paris called COP21 get under way tomorrow - large marches are planned globally as people are demanding world leaders commit to effectively tackle global warming. And thousands have taken to the streets around New Zealand, calling for climate justice. Bill McKibben wrote the first book about global warming for a general audience - it was published in 1989 - it was called The End of Nature. Bill is the co-founder of 350.org - a massive global grassroots organisation with environmental and social justice goals that forms a network of people active across 188 countries. He's helped organise more than 20-thousand rallies around the world. So did he ever think this would become such a big issue since he first published his book 26 years ago…

Yasmine Ryan - ISIL attacks
BODY:
A state of emergency was declared in Tunisia this week following an ISIL terrorist attack that killed 13 people on a presidential guard bus. It was the third attack by Islamic State in Tunisia this year. So how is ISIL viewed by ordinary people in Tunisia and other North African States - which have proved fertile recruiting grounds for jihadist groups fighting in Syria? Yasmine Ryan is a NZ journalist who bases herself in Tunis. She's in Algeria this week gathering material for a story on the response to the Paris terrorist attacks. So Yasmine, is this the latest of several major attacks designed to induce terror beyond their base in Syria and Iraq?

Insight for 29 November 2015 - Obesity Crisis
BODY:
Sharon Brettkelly asks what is being done to halt the obesity crisis
EXTENDED BODY:

Aiga Lama is sporting a broken arm after falling off the monkey bars, but that's not stopping the five-year-old from chasing a basketball at Otara Leisure Centre.
She's here for a special exercise and nutrition programme for obese children.
Listen to Insight - The Obesity Crisis
Her mother, Makerita Lama, says health workers told her Aiga was obese when she went for her preschool checkup.
"I thought, its normal because in our Pacific genes we're all big boned and so its kind of natural for us to be kind of round, so I didn't take it as an insult because I knew that for us Pasifika we're actually quite naturally big. And she's got the height, so I thought she's yeah, she's on the chubby side, like her Mum."
A bigger health issue than smoking
The obesity epidemic is costing the country $1 billion a year and threatens to cripple the health system.
Next year it will supersede smoking as the country's biggest health issue - one in three adults and one in 10 children are obese. The figure for Maori and Pacific people is much higher.
Paediatricians and nutrition experts say if Aiga stays on her current path she could weigh 140kg by the time she's 14.
That would raise her risk of diabetes by 80 times that of someone in the ideal body weight range. It would also increase her chances of cancer, osteoarthritis, heart disease and respiratory problems.
Auckland University of Technology professor of nutrition Elaine Rush says she has seen children so large their legs couldn't move past each other to walk comfortably.
"So we've got a point of physicality where they cannot function and move and being a child or a young person you should be able to move quite freely."
She said she didn't know what would happen to these children.
"I despair because it's not just about their bodies, its about their minds and their spirituality as well."
Prof Rush heads the Pacific Island Families Study that has been tracking more than 1200 boys and girls since birth, measuring their weight, height and body mass index. It found that by the age of nine, more than half the children - who were all born in 2000 - were obese. Prof Rush said the charts backed the need for early intervention, especially among Pacific Island children.
"It's got to happen now, their bones are being formed, their brains are being developed at every stage from conception and, unless we start making changes, we're like lemmings jumping off a cliff, basically.
"If we look at the quality of life and what's being taken from our children and our families because of these chronic diseases then we should be worried, very worried."

Prof Rush says there is no time to waste in tackling the epidemic.
"It is frustrating because the longer you leave it the more of a problem it is and I think it's getting worse. Thirty percent of the people aged 15 to 24 in this area in South Auckland are obese already and they're going to be the parents any moment now, so to speak. So they're already imprinting on their children and its not just the women, it's the men as well, there's more evidence that there are changes in the sperm induced by an unhealthy diet and obesity that will make a difference to the future life of that child."
'We're like lemmings jumping off a cliff'
She isn't the only one calling for urgent action. Sir Peter Gluckman, the prime minister's chief science advisor and the co-chair of the World Health Organisation's Ending Childhood Obesity commission warns that New Zealand faces a bigger crisis than many expect because obesity is becoming more prevalent in the Chinese and Indian populations.
"So when you compound that with the recent migrations from Polynesia, where there's all sorts of factors at play why they have a high rate of obesity, New Zealand stands out with a very high risk of a diabetes epidemic of enormous magnitude 20 years down the track if we don't deal with this epidemic now."
Obesity campaigners say exercise and nutrition programmes that rely on personal responsibility will only make a difference for a few people. They are calling for a tax on sugary drinks, tougher rules around advertising and marketing to children, and healthy food in schools policies.
Health Minister Jonathan Coleman says he is confident the government's 22-point plan to tackle childhood obesity will have an impact but he can not say whether it would reduce the rate of obesity. He says regulating industry is not the answer.
"The political opponents, the academics and public health groups, we're never going to go far enough for them but the reality is we're going to take something that's implementable and that we know can deliver a result and we'll take the broad middle swathe of the population with us.
"Negative reaction always get publicity but if you take the middle population in the street, New Zealanders up and down the main street of Northcote, they will say it sounds about right, there's personal responsibility, we're strengthening up the exercise and physical education in schools, we're putting a big focus on changing and educating in cultures, but no we're not going to regulate, we're not going to implement a sugar tax and neither is Labour."
One down
Back at Otara leisure centre, Makerita Lama says the nutrition and exercise programme is making a difference for her daughter, Aiga, and son, Ali.
The family is cutting back on hot chips, having them for dinner three nights a week instead of five and when they go to the supermarket together, the children chose their own fruit.
Aiga has lost 1kg.

Carol at Rawene
BODY:
Some secrets of surviving in a small town
EXTENDED BODY:
"I thought Rawene was a movie set, it was so beautiful, but so poor"; Carol Zambucka

Carol Zambucka has lived in the pretty Northland seaside town of Rawene for over thirty years. Carol grew up in the clothing industry and she came from Auckland to Rawene to start a clothing factory. The factory failed, but she’s lived on in the little town and seems to have thrived.
In 1983 already with a successful clothing factory in Auckland, she came to Rawene for a holiday.
She found a beautful place but with a high unemployment rate, and decided she should start a factory in Rawene to give locals some jobs. Which she did, but the factory was not a success and closed. So Carol has had to reinvent what she does to stay on in Rawene, a place, she says, with a special spirit.
Carol lives in the Old Lane’s Store building, right on the water’s edge of the Hokianga Harbour. She’s done Devonshire Teas on her balcony looking over the water, and she had an antique shop downstairs for a while. Now she runs a B and B in her house and she still makes bespoke garments, sitting at her machine in front of a magnificent harbour view. Her output includes dozens of wedding dresses over the years and lots of colourful repurposed clothing. She also makes a mean red wine from her own grapes.Her 2013 vintage goes well with her freshly baked shortbread.
"The first batch we called it 'Carolino Vino Shiraz 2002'... now we call it plonk!"

Rawene started as centre for the timber industry in the north, with a mill and ship yards set up in the early 1800’s.In January 1827 Captain James Herd bought a big tract of the land there from local Maori on behalf of the New Zealand Company based in London. All for the price of “five muskets, fifty three pounds powder, four pairs blankets, three hundred flints and four musket cartridge boxes”.
For many years the town was known as Herd’s Point. It boasted one of the country’s first post offices and by 1872 had two hotels, several stores, and churches. The census of 1916 had 751-people living in the Rawene riding, excluding Maori. Almost 100 years later, the 2013 census has population at 471, more than half of them, Maori.
Carol says she’s never been afraid of hard work, and that’s what kept her going, doing right by Rawene. She puts some of that down to her Lebanese heritage. “The factory didn’t work out, but in the end I’ve made it.”
You may spy Carol Zambucka next time you’re in Rawene. Now seventy, she has a profusion of white curly hair, and maybe she’ll be selling her colourful, repurposed clothing. Optimistic, smiling and chatting up a storm. She’s making the best of it for Rawene.

He Ora Tinana - Physical fitness
BODY:
Takiri Butler provides an insight into whanau fitness in Tauranga. Kehu Butler hit the surf at five years old, ten years later at age 15, he competes at international level. Tiana Bennett suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis but thanks to a new drug and whanau support she is able to walk up and down her ancestral maunga, Mauao. Khan Butler talks about his role as coach and father to his son Kehu, and Celestial Navigator Jack Thatcher came up with the concept, Hakafit, a kaupapa that got kapahaka performers fit before Te Matatini.
EXTENDED BODY:
Te Ahi Kaa contributor Takiri Butler talks about fitness practiced within a Māori community context.
How is physical health nurtured at a whānau level? What does it take to become successful in your chosen sport or discipline without costly gym memberships or programmes?
For the Butler family it is evident that it starts in the home, health conscious parents help, perhaps even living near the beach does too, or a mountain that can be seen from most angles in Tauranga Moana, deemed as the perfect training ground.
On the eve of a family trip to the Vissla ISA World Junior Surfing Championships in California, USA, Takiri Butler sat down next to the many trophies and awards accumulated by her nephew Kehu Butler, to get an idea of why surfing is important to him, and how his father, Takiri's brother, Khan maintains that level of humility in a whirlwind world of sponsor obligations, international travel and training.

The whanau are pretty big in the water, even if it wasn't on top of the water it was under the water getting kai. As soon as he jumped into the water, it was oh well there's another generation.
Khan Butler

Kehu Butler is Ngaiterangi, Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāti Awa, his hapu affiliations are Ngāti Hangarau and Patuwai. Kehu has been surfing since he was 5 years old, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather & uncles and aunties. Kehu's Uncle, Paul Bennett was the first Māori to win a national surfing title back in the 70s. His father Khan Butler and Uncle, Matt Bennett were both members of the NZ Men’s Surfing Team.

Khan would push Kehu off on the waves until he was old enough to start paddling and catching them himself.
Once he hit the age of 10, he was winning competitions locally on his home break in Mount Maunganui.
Kehu attended Te Kura o Matapihi and was brought up in a Māori speaking household, his grandfather Kehukehu is a native speaker.

While most kids spend their spare time playing video games or throwing around a rugby ball with their mates, Kehu took to surfing. Even when there were no waves, the Butler family would pull out the skate boards and rehearse their moves on land, a practice which still remains today. Takiri talks to Kehu about his training regime, and the many perks of hard work.
My daily routine would be to wait for dad to get me up and then he'll check the surf and if its up we'll go surfing and dad will just critique on what I need to do. We'll keep going and then we'll come in and try and eat healthy food. We'll go back out surfing, come back have dinner and rest up.
Kehu Butler

Kehu's grandfather, Kehukehu Senior is a former professional surfer and in his heyday his picture appeared up on Billboards on the Auckland Motorway.

When it comes to attending Kehu's surfing events and competitions, Kehukehu can be heard yelling instructions to his moko from the beach in Te Reo Māori, telling him where to sit and wait for the waves or how many minutes are left in the heat.
When he can afford to, he prefers to accompany Kehu and Khan around the world, his facial moko does attract some attention but he says those who are 'game enough' enough to inquire, he is happy to talk about it.
I think it does help just having the family support there.....this travelling around and having cultural exchange with all the indigenous cultures around, it’s very good to promote where we come from and who we are as a people.
Kehukehu Butler

Tiana Bennett was born and bred in the heart of Arataki (Mount Maunganui). As a teenager, it was nothing for Tiana to run around and up the Mount before breakfast. However as the years went by, her arthritis and diabetes impacted her movement, small steps became a struggle.

In 2013, Tiana realised that she missed her maunga and the connection she felt when climbing him. It had been nearly thirteen years since she had been to the top.

It was then that Tiana set herself some goals. First was to reach the top of the stone steps, then to the gate just past that. As the weeks and the walks progressed, Tiana made her way slowly up Mauao with the help of her whanau, gradually getting further and further up the 500 odd steps. She then set herself a date where she was going to climb all the way to the top in one go.
The day arrived and the emotions were high. The whanau came along and brought with them some challenges of their own. Knowing that climbing Mauao with arthritis and diabetes would be difficult.
Members of Tiana's family carried up 20kg weighted vests, 40kg barbells, boxing bags etc to try and replicate and understand the difficulty that Tiana faces when she takes on such a physical task.
The younger children carried the kai and water bottles, the older teenagers cleared the path in front of Nanny Tiana and together the whole whanau made it to the top.

Takiri walks up Mauao with Tiana Bennett and her mokopuna Taimana to recall that day, and how her illness has not affected her determination for fitness.

The kaupapa of Hakafit began when Jack Thatcher decided to walk up Mauao (Mount Maunganui) on Boxing Day last year. IA few of his whanau decided to join him, and when he reached the summit he decided to do it again the next day. The idea gained traction when he put on a wero (challenge) do to the walk for thirty consecutive days.
In the lead up to Te Matatini, the two local kapahaka groups in Tauranga decided to have a friendly challenge to see how many summits each group could do in that time. Ngāti Ranginui kapahaka group took out the competition.
Jack Thatcher explains to Takiri Butler the concept of the challenge, and why Mauao is considered an ideal place to practise physical fitness given the connection the mountain has with local Māori, he shares with the traditional purākau (story) of Mauao.

Footy to Farming – Philip Wells’ story
BODY:
Nobody told Philip Wells he would never walk again. He was 15 and in the Otara spinal unit following a rugby tackle that had gone badly wrong. It was 1979.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nobody told Philip Wells he would never walk again.
He was 15 and in the Otara spinal unit following a rugby tackle that had gone badly wrong. It was 1979.
He says he'll always remember a particularly awkward ward round.
"I said to the doctor 'Am I going to be able to ride my motorbike again?' He didn't quite answer that question. "I guess by osmosis you realise that hey, you're the same as everybody else in here and you probably aren't going to walk home."
Philip had sustained a double dislocation of c4, c5 and c6 in his cervical spine. He can move his arms but not his wrists, hands or fingers.
He is entitled to 24 hour support through ACC and manages his own care company.
Philip's family has been farming in Taranaki for generations and Philip had always wanted to work the land.
Now, after years working as a computer programmer, he's living on and is managing the farm. Philip is also on advisory committees to ACC, to the New Plymouth District Council, and to the Taranaki Base hospital
