Read an edited snapshot of her conversation with Kathryn Ryan
KR: You were opposed to the invasion of Iraq, but you ended up going there. What was it that led you to go there?
ES: It does sound like quite an unusual story, but in 2003 after the invasion, the British government sent out and email asking for volunteers to go to Iraq for three months, to administer the country before we handed it back to the Iraqis.
As you said, I was very much against the war, but I thought this was my chance to go out and apologise to the Iraqis and do my bit to help rebuild the country.
KR: What were your impressions of how Kirkuk was being run at the time? There was actually a joke at the time that CPA (Coalition Provision Authority) stood for ‘Can’t Provide Anything’.
ES: The CPA didn’t have the best reputation particularly in the eyes of the US military, so when I got to Kirkuk the US military was running everything…the Iraqis had been running their own country before, so it was like; “what are the US military doing running everything now?”
KR: Well it became you in a some ways, because you became governor of a province, how would you answer that question yourself, and was there a question over whether you would stay?
ES: Well in my first week in my job I realised that Iraqis took my new position quite seriously when insurgents tried to assassinate me. In the middle of the night they came to my house, which is in downtown Kirkuk and they fired rockets, and they fired five RPGs into the house.
I was very fortunate to survive that, the house was very well made – thank god!
But I thought "ah" I have no got nowhere to live. so I went to the US brigade commander of the province just to get a tent somewhere on the airfield where the military was based, so that was my first interaction with the US military.
KR: There was demand for a speedy drawdown from Iraq, primarily by President Obama. You describe Secretary (Hillary) Clinton as running a dysfunctional mission to Baghdad that allowed a lapse back into sectarian war after elections in 2010 and that she appointed an incompetent ambassador… in your mind, this is a conclusion to another critical failure along the way.
ES: “Well it is really sad because – I believe the Iraq War was wrong - it should have never happened - but nothing that happened after 2003 was inevitable. There really were hopes of creating a world without Saddam Hussein, and the missed opportunities to create a better order. First, in 2003 when we collapsed the states and in 2010 when we didn’t uphold the election results. And this had been the outcome, tragically.
KR: The BBC's World Affairs Editor John Simpson suggests you slipped into a Stockholm Syndrome relationship with those you worked with in Iraq, is that fair?
ES: Well he takes that from my book because I was introduced to Tony Blair by Petraeus and Odierno, and Tony Blair said “Are you British? And I said ‘I am British, born and bred.’” And he looked at me and said: “explain this.”
And of course you’ve only got 5 seconds to meet the Prime Minister – so I just said “Stockholm Syndrome” and everybody laughed and moved on.
At one level you could say I’m not somebody who naturally would have an affinity with the military, but what happened from my time in Iraq was I built up very close relations with people. And it’s the bonds that are formed by people through being thrown together in very difficult circumstances. We may have different world views, we may have different outlooks on life, but when you are put in those circumstances, when you have to rely on each other every day for support, not just for your livelihood, but for your very life, then you grow very, very close to people.

Youth led group tackles online bullying
BODY:
Sticks n Stones is a Central Otago project aimed at reducing online bullying and run almost entirely by young people for young people. The organisation was founded in Central Otago four years ago and is a student led project - the idea being that students have a huge amount of experience with life online and can support younger people and their families to understand the pitfalls. Sticks n Stones operates in seven secondary schools in the region, and is now looking to expand into Auckland. Kathryn talks to three founding members - Otago University nursing student, Ashley Smith; Canterbury University Bachelor of Teaching student Nicky Wheeler and Dunstan High School Year 12 student Sarah Villela.
EXTENDED BODY:
A group of young New Zealanders have created a programme that aims to address the causes of cyber-bullying and encourage realistic approaches to it.
Founded in Central Otago four years ago, Sticks n Stones is run by young people for young people, using their own online experience to educate others on how to use social media platforms in a positive way.
The Sticks n Stones project is now implemented in five secondary schools and seven primary schools in the Central Otago region, with resources being used by more than 140 students.
Ashley Smith, Nicky Wheeler and Sarah Villela are three of the founding members.
The projects aims to empower young people to intervene when they notice bullying behaviour, they say.
“We were really focussed on the bystander and getting them to stand up and say they don’t agree with it, because that is really powerful.”
They say the usual advice of “just log off”, is unhelpful and unrealistic.
“Cyber bullying has now become a part of every teenager’s life, and the cyber world, we’re so involved in it all the time, so I think there was a real need to have a support network there and try and approach cyber bullying a different way.”
The project is targeted at students between the ages of 11-19 years old, with a lighter touch being taken with the primary school students.
“We’ve got some more fun approaches that we bring in. We’ve got a card game that we’re making at the moment, and wheel of misfortune, something else that we have created.”
The group sees the importance in starting the anti-cyberbullying message at a young age.
“We believe that is a great age group to change a culture and to be able to change the way that they see bullying to be something that they don’t accept in their own lives.”
It is not unusual for the younger students to have smartphones as a way for their parents to stay in touch with them, but the smartphones also allow easy access to social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook where most of the bullying happens.
“When you’re online… you can’t see people’s emotions. You can’t guarantee that you know how they’re feeling that day. That is half of the problem. You might just be teasing them in a friendly way but for them that could be the fifth or sixth thing that has happened to them that day and that could make them extremely upset.”
They have also provided resources and support to parents who are concerned about their children’s interactions online.
“They’ll come and talk to us about what is happening with the young person in their lives and we will give them a perspective of another young person… we think that is a really important way that we work with parents and we can give them a few ideas of what would help in that situation.”
The organisers behind Sticks n Stones recognise that educating and providing support for the bullies is another way that they can help to curb negative behaviour online.
“For someone who is bullying, often there is a reason behind that, so it’s really important to us that we put support systems in place for that person and people who are going to help them work out why they are doing what they are doing and how they can be supported.”
With their experience dealing with online bullying, Sticks n Stones is now looking to get involved in advocacy, such as with the recent Harmful Digital Communications Act. They say information about how to get involved in decision making at a higher level is lacking and were disappointed that their views weren’t taken into consideration.
“Something like the Harmful Digital Communications bill is something that affects youth so much. It’s going to be a significant part of our lives. Where was the young people’s involvement in that?”
They are also looking to expand the programme to schools in Auckland and have already had a meeting with Massey High School.
“We don’t have… “This is how we work and we have to function this way”, anyone can take our values and then do what they like and how it would work in their schools.
“Massey are looking at doing something that might be a little different to how we run, but we are so excited to see how it might work out for them.”

The Future Of Huntly - Allan Sanson
BODY:
Two fossil fuel power plants in Huntly signalled for closure are to remain open until 2022, Genesis Energy, has revealed today. Genesis had previously announced it would close Huntly's two coal-fired rankine units at the end of 2018, but it said a deal with other generators would see them stay open for another four years. But what does this mean for the community in Huntly? Allan Sanson is the Waikato District Mayor.

Acting on climate change - Royal Society of NZ report
BODY:
In its latest report on climate change, the Royal Society of New Zealand lays out options for how we coudl reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand could wean its economy off fossil fuels within several decades if a substantial carbon price were imposed and we moved away from dairy, according to a report released by the Royal Society of New Zealand today.
Just a few days after New Zealand signed the Paris Agreement, the report highlights options that would cut greenhouse emissions in all sectors of the economy, including transport, which is New Zealand’s largest and fastest growing emitter of carbon dioxide, and agriculture, which contributes almost half of the total emissions through methane.
Ralph Sims, a renewable energy expert at Massey University and the chair of the panel that wrote the report, says New Zealand has many options to start the transition to a low-carbon economy now, using technologies that are “well understood and feasible”.
On Saturday, 175 countries, including New Zealand, signed the historic Paris climate deal that aims to limit global temperature rise to below 2 degrees.
Fifteen countries have already ratified the agreement and 19 announced their intent to ratify this year. New Zealand has not yet committed to a time frame for the ratification process.
Professor Sims says New Zealand’s total greenhouse gas emissions have been increasing steadily and are projected to keep rising over the next decades unless “we take action to either reduce greenhouse emissions or to support their removal from the atmosphere”.
New Zealand’s commitment under the Paris Agreement is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 11 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, but it remains conditional on aspects of the deal, including a carbon market which would allow for the purchase of carbon credits.
Professor Sims says the pressure will be on all countries to come up with more robust targets because their combined commitments won’t keep temperatures below 2 degrees.
“Therefore New Zealand will have to look closely at the [target] and say we have to do better than that.”
The report focuses on options to cut emissions rather than the trading in carbon credits. “We haven’t got into the politics at all. It’s up to the policymakers to use that information to decide which way we want to go. And indeed the general public, because do we as a nation want to be seen as leading the way in reducing our emissions or do we want to try and buy some credits from somebody else who is leading the way.”
The report analyses options in a number of sectors, including transport, heat and electricity generation, buildings, industry, forest and land use, and agriculture. It says that some mitigation options can be implemented or increased immediately, while others will take time to adopt.
“Some measures would save costs and bring additional benefits such as improved health, easier mobility and liveable cities. Other actions are cost effective only if a substantial carbon price is imposed on greenhouse gas emissions.”
You can listen to the entire interview here:
Transport
New Zealand’s transport system is 99 percent dependent on fossil fuels and produces one fifth of total emissions. The report says annual emissions could be reduced by at least 60 percent if vehicle fuel efficiency standards were introduced, people and organisations were encouraged to switch to electric transport and freight transport shifted to rail and shipping.
Heat and electricity
Heating accounts for 28 percent of New Zealand’s consumer energy use, while electricity equates to 23 percent. Cost-effective options to reduce fossils fuels in heating include a greater uptake of biomass, solar thermal and geothermal resources. Electricity generation is already 80 percent renewable but the report says this could increase cost effectively to reach the target of 90 percent by 2025.
Agriculture
Emissions from agriculture make up almost half of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to methane produced by cows and sheep. While the emissions intensity of farm production has decreased, absolute emissions have grown because of increased production. The report says reducing absolute emissions substantially will be challenging “unless there was a strategic decision to reduce the reliance on meat and milk production for the growth of New Zealand’s economy”.

New Zealand's transport system is 99% dependent on fossil fuels and produces a fifth of our total greenhouse gas emissions.

Veronika Meduna is one of them - and she meets EV enthusiasts at the Leading the Charge road trip to find out why they got theirs, what's needed to encourage others and why it makes sense to switch to electric transport.

Drugs and warfare
BODY:
From Vikings high on mushrooms to soldiers on speed in Vietnam... Historian Lukasz Kamienski traces the relationship between drugs and war.
EXTENDED BODY:
From Vikings high on mushrooms to soldiers on speed in Vietnam... Historian Lukasz Kamienski says we have been fighting wars 'on drugs' for thousands of years.
Bryan Crump talks with Lukasz Kamienski, author of Shooting Up: A Short History of Drugs and War:
Interview highlights:
Have drugged-up soldiers been around as long as war itself?
LK: I’m afraid that’s right. The history of drugs and war goes back to ancient times actually. If you at the Greeks, the hoplite soldiers went into war drunk on wine. The Vikings were high on magic mushrooms when getting into these wild animal-like fearful feelings of combat. India in 17th century... The members of the Hindu warrior class were regular opium-eaters. The First World War was fuelled by cocaine on the frontlines, and the Second World War was fuelled by amphetamines.
Does drug use explain the Nazi’s irrational decision-making?
LK: It was an rational decision to administer drugs to the troops. They were used to increase their performance.
Who took cocaine in the First World War?
LK: There are reports of German and French pilots taking cocaine to increase performance. The British used a mixture of kola nuts and cocaine. The drug was named Forced March. The cocaine was probably given with daily with rations of rum.
Both sides of the Second World War were on speed?
LK: The British were in the Second. That followed the Germans. German pilots were found with mysterious pills. They checked them, found out it was methamphetamine. They combined this finding with intelligence reports. They started experimenting with amphetamines. They conducted field experiments and looked at their reactions to the drugs. Royal Air Force approved tactical use of amphetamines for long missions.
Do we have anything more than anecdotal evidence of drugs and performance?
LK: You can find descriptions of the drug usage, but I see three basics reasons why it’s been an untold story.
Up until the mid-20th century, the use of psychoactive substances like alcohol, opiates, cocaine, and amphetamine for medical purposes was fairly common, and there was little discussion about soldiers who became addicted in the course of medical treatment .
Another reason is that the military use of intoxicants kept it covered, secrecy was crucial for improving the combat performance. Also state policies of controlling mind-altering substances made the approved use by soldiers a taboo. Why? Because normal citizens were not allowed. Soldiers were not only permitted, but required.
The third reason is that it’s highly unsettlingly for a government to acknowledge that such powerful forces of patriotism, nationalism or religion may not be sufficient in committing men to combat, that they need an additional chemical motivator to inspire their courage.
