Remembering when not everyone was Free to Run
BODY:
Kathrine Switzer challenged the all-male tradition of the Boston marathon and became the first woman to officially enter and run the event in 1967. She and her New Zealand husband and fellow running pioneer Roger Robinson join Kathryn Ryan to talk about the new documentary Free to Run which traces the running movement over the past 50 years.
EXTENDED BODY:
Running is a freedom most of us take for granted, even if we don't do it on a regular basis.
But little more than 40 years ago it was a very different story.
Male runners were an eccentric minority, while women were considered too frail to run, and even banned from official events.
Kathrine Switzer and Roger Robinson are two of the sport's early pioneers and are featured prominently in a new film called, Free to Run.
It tells the story of the right to run and how the sport eventually took the world by storm.
Kathrine was the woman who, in 1967, challenged the all-male tradition of the Boston marathon and became the first woman to officially enter and run the event.
And her husband Roger Robinson ran for England and New Zealand at world level, and has set masters marathon records at Boston and New York.
The pair joins Kathryn Ryan to talk about Free to Run which traces the running movement over the past 50 years.

Dozens killed in terror attack in Nice, France
BODY:
There's been another terror attack in France. At least 75 people have been killed and scores more injured when a truck ploughed into a crowd watching fireworks on the promenade in Nice. The driver then shot at the crowds with an automatic weapon. Professor Greg Barton is the co-head of the counter terrorism centre at Deakin University
EXTENDED BODY:
The truck attack on Bastille Day crowds in Nice is likely to have a huge impact on French politics, a terrorism expert says.
Dr Greg Barton is head of the Counter-Terrorism Centre at Deakin University in Melbourne.
He told Afternoons if the perpetrators were revealed as Islamic State (IS), right-wing parties in France would use that as an opportunity to attack the government over its immigration policy.
"It's an assault on the heart of modern Frenchness, in a way that will really resonate," he said.
"Being in Nice in the south of France, right-wing politicians like Marie Le Pen have done well from a reactionary sentiment and people responding with anxiety - and I think this happening on Bastille Day will really emphasise that."
The right-wing National Front led by firebrand politician Marine Le Pen held street rallies in the south of France following the Paris attacks.
The party has said that if it had been in power, the attack on the Bataclan night club would never have happened.
Dr Barton said France had become a target for terrorism directly because thousands of young French men had gone to fight in Syria and Iraq, and many hundreds had since returned with specific instructions to plan terrorist attacks of the kind seen today.
"They are in numbers too large for the police to track effectively," he said.
"And it's a numbers thing really, nothing to do with France specifically"
French President Francois Hollande said the attack on Nice was clearly a terrorist assault and that the state of emergency imposed since a previous attack on Paris last November would now be extended for another three months.
"They can't give the public false promises on security they can't deliver on," Dr Barton said. "On the other hand they can't keep the state of emergency in place indefinitely."
"French Muslims find it hard to get work, they feel alienated; and while only a tiny fraction are drawn to terrorism, it's easier to draw those people when they're feeling like that." Dr Barton said.
And while the attack may again fire up the arguments over open borders in Europe, Dr Barton suggested the French government trod carefully.
"Islamic state may prey on immigrant communities, but it's the second-generation that becomes involved, it's not people who have just recently arrived, it's their children or sometimes their grandchildren," he said.
"It might be tempting to think its the new migrants and the open borders policy to blame here, but it's not."

The longest and most exhaustive investigation in FBI history
BODY:
This week, 'the longest and most exhaustive investigation' in FBI history, was abandoned.
EXTENDED BODY:
The D.B. Cooper case has baffled the agency for 45 years, and now it may never be solved.
According to an FBI statement, the case began on the afternoon of November 24, 1971, when a man who went by the name D.B. Cooper used cash to buy a one-way ticket on Flight 305, from Portland to Seattle. During the flight, the man vanished into thin air, with a $200,000 cash ransom.
The aircraft was 10,000 feet above Washington State. The FBI believe he parachuted off the plane and is unlikely to have survived.
Former news and public-relations man, turned filmmaker, Thomas J Colbert is calling for the FBI to re-open the NORJAK case, after spending five years investigating the possibility, that the skyjacker was a former Army paratrooper, named Robert W Rackstraw.
He explains why believes this to be the case.

Although considered a land of birds, New Zealand is a hotspot for geckos - and we currently have about forty species of them. Most familiar to people will be the Kermit-green tree gecko or green geckos that hunt during the day, are excellent climbers and use their prehensile tail as a fifth limb while climbing.

NZ Live - Broods
BODY:
A truly international act on this week's NZ Live: They are currently touring the world to promote their second album. They are Broods.
EXTENDED BODY:
A truly international act joins RNZ in the Auckland studio for this week's NZ Live.
Caleb and Georgia Nott won first place in the Smokefreerockquest in 2011. Back then, they were part of "The Peasants", a six- or seven-piece high school band, and, as fate would have it, were performing in front of a soon to be internationally recognised record producer.
School finished and the band broke up. Some of them went to university but these two members stuck together, mostly because they were brother and sister and had always done so.
They also kept in touch with the aforementioned record man and, when a YouTube post of one of their songs went viral, they knew the time had come to give up their studies and pursue their dreams.
They are currently touring the world to promote their second album. They are Broods.
Watch them perform their individual songs on NZ Live.

1:25 The longest and most exhaustive investigation' in FBI history
This week, 'the longest and most exhaustive investigation' in FBI history, was abandoned. The D.B. Cooper case has baffled the agency for 45 years. And now it may never be solved. According to an FBI statement, the case began on the afternoon of November 24, 1971, when a man who went by the name D.B. Cooper used cash to buy a one-way ticket on Flight 305, from Portland to Seattle. During the flight, the man vanished into thin air, with a $200,000 cash ransom. The aircraft was 10,000 feet above Washington State. Our guest is calling for the FBI to re-open the NORJAK case, after spending five years investigating the possibility, that the skyjacker was a former Army paratrooper, named Robert W Rackstraw. Former news and public-relations man, turned filmmaker, Thomas J Colbert explains why.
1:35 Critter of the Week: the Alpine Gecko
DOC's endangered species ambassador, Nicola Toki asks if "Alpine" geckos are true mountaineers, or forest refugees.
[gallery:2266]
Although considered a land of birds, New Zealand is a hotspot for geckos - and we currently have about forty species of them. Most familiar to people will be the Kermit-green tree gecko or green geckos that hunt during the day, are excellent climbers and use their prehensile tail as a fifth limb while climbing. There are around seven of these types of gecko.

BODY:
Bush Haven is a bird sanctuary near Invercargill where retired couple Russell and May Evans breed Kaka chicks for release and care for injured native birds, mainly Kereru and Tui, until they can go back into the wild environment.
EXTENDED BODY:
Native birds are in safe hands at an avian sanctuary in Otatara.
Retired Southland couple, Russell and May Evans, breed Kaka chicks for release. They also care for injured birds, mainly Kereru and Tui, until they can go back into the wild.
"It sort of evolved from Russell's interest in parrots. We've had a parrot collection for many years and when our daughter became a vet, it wasn't very long before her clinic had a wood pigeon that was injured and needed somewhere to get better so that's when we started our rehab stuff" says May.
Most injuries are cause by the birds hitting windows. Birds can be in care for 24 hours to three years, depending on the extent of their injuries. A recent arrival, a young Kereru, is in a box in their laundry that doubles as an infirmary.
"We took it for an x-ray earlier than we normally do because when we got it was lying right over. It wouldn't stand up on its legs at all, but as you can see it's taking some weight on them now".
Pockets of dense native bush watch over a dozen or so aviaries dotted around the property. The biggest house a pair of Kaka and their three chicks and several recovering Kereru waiting to be released.
Russell says, "They know us pretty well and sometimes when we release a bird here I'll come down the next morning and it'll be sitting on the perch in the back because the door stays open for three or four days. And then all of a sudden they'll think 'I know where the food's coming from' and they'll arrive at the back door of the house and they'll expect you to feed them there."
Russell and May would like to keep running Bush Haven as long as they can. They are hoping to train people to do what they are doing and to work out a way for Bush Haven to continue operating after they have gone.
The Evans have received awards in from Environment Southland and the Invercargill City Council for their rehabilitation work.
