Tim Bale on the UK Labour leadership contest
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to Tim Bale, Professor of Politics at Queen Mary University of London, about the contest for the leadership of the UK Labour party - set to be resolved this weekend.
EXTENDED BODY:
The leadership of the UK labour party is set to be decided this weekend when Labour party members, affiliated trade union supporters and other registered supporters vote.
Jeremy Corbyn, who surprised many last year when he won the leadership having started as a rank outsider, is facing a challenge from Shadow Minister for Wales, Owen Smith.
After the UK voted for Brexit earlier in the year, many within the Labour party criticised Mr Corbyn for his unenthusiastic backing of the Remain camp.
Dozens of his frontbench team have walked out since Hilary Benn was sacked on 26 June, saying Mr Corbyn cannot win a general election.
At least one poll suggests Labour rank and file voters regard the new Conservative leader Theresa May more favourably than they do Mr Corbyn.
But Mr Corbyn has vowed to carry on, and leads Mr Owen in most polls.
What does all this mean for the future of the British Labour party?
Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University London and author of the recent book The Conservative Party: From Thatcher to Cameron believes that Labour will lose the next general election in 2020, and probably 2025, putting them out of power for two decades.
He says Mr Corbyn is almost certain to win at the weekend and if he then goes on to loose badly at the next general election the party could well split.
“Jeremy Corbyn is not a normal politician. A normal leader, faced with the fact that three quarters of his MPs don’t want him in the position, would have stepped down by now.
“He wants to turn the Labour Party into something very, very different.”
He says Mr Corbyn and his supporters want the Labour Party, once a centrist, parliamentary force, to change into a radical socialist, social movement.
“A party that does politics very, very differently.”
Prof Bale doubts whether, given Britain’s first past the post system, that kind of party will win general elections in the UK.

EXTENDED BODY:
A senior figure in the US National Parks service is visiting this week to exchange ideas with iwi and DOC officials about the environmental issues facing parks around the world. Superintendent Tammy Duchesne talks to Kathryn Ryan about her job and working with 20 thousand others in the organisation looking after 401 sites.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
What are the pressures on the service itself? It’s interesting that you talk about these different components of this kind of heritage protection, because there are the wide open expanses, then there might be areas that are urban or bordering urban areas and there are a lot of pressure for land, for water and resources. Is that a pressure that you’re having to resist?
Absolutely. I manage two national historical parks in Hawaii. One is called Kaloko-Honokōhau the other one is Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park and the northern park is quite interesting, it was actually established after an outcry from the native Hawaiian community, who saw a lot of their land being really taken over by some resort developments, hotels and they were really concerned about having their space so they could practise their culture and the area with which they identified would remain protected.
So the way that this park got started was this group of citizens who actually wrote to their Congresswoman Patsy Mink and they asked that this area be preserved. And through their outcry they were able to preserve Kaloko-Honokōhau, which was then a national landmark. They were able to turn that into a national park in 1978 and what they saw in it was that it was a kipuka, which means that it was an area that was spared of lava flow, so it’s a metaphor, but now the park is 600 marine and 600 terrestrial acres and there is development all around the park.
Just recently there was a proposal to put in 5000 homes, three schools and a hospital directly upslope of the park, so that would mean there would be the need for water extraction, there would be pollution of the water, it could threaten night skies, it could threaten noise, it would just be a real impact to the park.
How do you win the battle between people saying people need houses and what do you say in response about other things that people need?
Again the park preserves a settlement from the 900s and it has great archaeology sites. The park was established to preserve, interpret and perpetuate native Hawaiian culture, so when we received the park in 1978, it is our job through the Organic Act to keep the park as it was, and that means the same species, the same water quantity and quality, so we have to be vigilant about monitoring.
When a proposal comes in that proposes to extract as much water as is already being used, we have great concerns because that already threatens the species that live in our park, which threatens the ability for our community to practise their culture. In our legislation it actually says that the park will work with other entities including state and local government to protect the air and water quality and quantity around the park. So even though it is our mission to preserve and to protect and to work with state agencies to have this good system of air and water quality management, as you know, it’s hard when people want to build affordable homes. There is an outcry. So what I say is that we believe that we can do things responsibility if there is proactivity, planning and we work together.
You talked about that ability to bring everybody on board. How have you seen it happen in different places in different ways?
Well it’s challenging. In the same way you said, if there is over extraction or overuse, that could hurt our coral reefs. Coral reefs are a big generator of economic livelihood, so we believe that we are trying to do a lot of education to convince people that it doesn’t have to be and/or. We can’t have really responsible and strict and healthy preservation measures that also allows for healthy management.
It’s a new paradigm and it scares people, because water has never previously… on the island I live on, it’s not really managed right now, water. It’s more of a free-for-all state. So the idea of water permits and any type of legislation or regulation, people feel is really contentious and federal over reach and it’s really impeding on their rights.
So it’s about having a conversation many times and just really being a good listener and just really trying to allow people to understand that you’re not trying to say no development, but there has got to be a way for thoughtful, responsible, proactive development. We want people to be able to come to the table with the tools to be able to make good management systems.

Crash predictor Ann Pettifor: 'We're no longer citizens, we're customers'
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan speaks to Ann Pettifor - one of the few economists who correctly predicted the 2008 global economic crash. Ann was also one of the leaders of a successful campaign to cancel 100 billion dollars worth of debt owed to by some of the world's poorest nations to some of the richest. She is currently the director of the left wing economic think tank Policy Research in Macroeconomics or PRIME.
EXTENDED BODY:
One of the few analysts to correctly predict the 2008 global financial crash says we need to start worrying about the economic attempts to turn citizens into consumers.
UK economist Ann Pettifor was also one of the leaders of the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign that successfully pushed to cancel $100 billion worth of debt owed by some of the world's poorest nations.
Ms Pettifor, the director of left-wing economic think tank Policy Research in Macroeconomics, has been in New Zealand to deliver public lectures on the current state of the financial world.
Speaking to Nine to Noon today, she said many of the current issues facing the world came from attempts by economists and the finance sector to 'marketise' society and to "turn us all into customers for everything".
"We're no longer citizens, we're no longer workers, we're customers, all along the line. And all of our relationships must, they argue, be marketised.
"They're also turning us into 'rentiers', so when we rent out our house as part of Airbnb, or we rent out our car as part of Uber, we are learning that with the ownership of an asset, it becomes possible, almost effortlessly, to earn rent."
She said the global economy was increasingly about earning rent from money, property and any other assets people owned.
"We are using up everything we have to earn a bit more money, and that is partly because the way the system is geared, and those who do have assets are able to earn rent on those assets, whether it's interest rates or whatever, and those without assets are poor, and those people are cross, they are very cross."
Ms Pettifor said people were feeling increasingly desperate due to low wages and salaries.
"I'm not against people using Airbnb, and I understand why they are doing it, and the reason they are doing it is because they are getting poorer, because they cannot live on their existing income, because we don't pay wages or salaries that allow people to live a decent life. So they have to supplement that, with all of these additional marginal activities.
"That's what's wrong with the way we have allowed the markets to take control of our economies and for the invisible hand to decide who gets what, is those who are left behind - and the left-behinders voted for Brexit, the left-behinders are voting for Trump, and they're voting for Le Pen, the fascist in France - we need to worry about that."

Her 20 years working around the world has helped to shape this book and its stunning images.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
What are the organisms in healthy soil that you just want to leave be?
The soil that we want to grow a healthy garden as part of an ecology, as part of a whole cycle, like the relationship between wood and earth and mulch… even as you look at a tree, most of it is actually living underground. So what’s happening under there the more we scrape off, it’s alive. It’s got bacteria, it’s got fungus, it’s got all of these different things happening and when you scrape it back and push it to the side, you’re taking away all of that. It’s like healthy probiotics in your tummy. All of that delicate little ecology that’s beneath. And it’s our eco system too. Healthy food is healthy soil. It’s all part of it. Layering it up and letting it grow itself is where the magic lies.
What are the different soil types and what do you do with each of them?
You could go into millions of different types of soil, but what a gardener needs to know is basically, look at clay, fertile soils, sand, gravel and then modified soil, so a situation where you’ve got totally artificial soil. Lots of people have gardens in pots these days. Those are your main situations that you’re dealing with. They’re all based on the particle size of the soil. When you’ve got really fine soils, like a clay, it’s difficult to get water movement through that soil and it is also difficult to get water to move out of that soil and we all know that water is the key to all life. When you are in a sandier or gravel soil, the difficulty is in growing organic matter in that soil, so if you think about soil quite simply as these particles that the flow of water through and a build-up of organic matter through, is essential, then it’s actually quite easy to understand your own garden.
Do you water soil, or are you watering the plant?
I believe that there are certainly situations you need to water, like when you are establishing a new garden, particularly when you have planted it further towards the heat of summer, but I am quite resistant to irrigation systems. I have found more through my years of maintenance and building many gardens, we have more problems with overwatering, than we do of under watering. You really want your plants to grow and get their roots down deep and you want that mulch and moisture. You want a garden that is full of plants. Ideally green mulch is the best. A full, overflowing abundant garden is the best way to keep it healthy, so I think watering should be done very carefully and selectively and throwing a whole lot of water on a garden isn’t ideal.

World leaders to meet at UN to discuss superbugs
BODY:
World leaders are holding a summit on the dangers of super bugs at the United Nations this week. But is it already too late?
EXTENDED BODY:
Scientists have been warning about the serious risk of super bugs and antibiotic resistance for decades.
The UK’s chief medical officer has repeatedly warned of an 'antibiotic apocalypse'.
And it may already be upon us with a growing number of potentially fatal infections now resistant to antibiotics.
Now world leaders are holding a summit on the problem at the United Nations this week - but is it too late?
Professor Kurt Krause from Otago University's biochemistry department is an expert in antibiotic resistance.
He says antibiotic resistance in the community only started to show quite recently.
“A decade ago the antibiotic resistance problem got more serious, a lot of bugs that before were only resistant in the hospitals were showing to be resistant in the community.
“That’s when things started to change.”
We have also tended to use antibiotics thoughtlessly. Antibiotics are unusual because the very use of them leads to more bug resistance.
“If you give poison to something that doesn’t actually kill it, it will get stronger and adapt.”
Professor Kurt Krause says he now sees patients who have been on antibiotics for several months.
The problem is pharmaceutical companies don’t make them anymore, and with good economic reasons.
“It costs between $700 million to $1 billion to make them, then you only use them for 2 weeks at a time.”
And if a bacteria becomes resistant to the new antibiotic, its clinical use is limited.
Prof Krause says the traditional free market, capitalist approach to drug development may no longer be the answer.

The man who debunks conspiracy theories
BODY:
Mick West is a science writer and is dedicated to the art of debunking wild theories that circulate online and helping other people do the same, with his website, Metabunk.
EXTENDED BODY:
The Russians have poisoned Hillary Clinton, Elvis Presley is alive and well. The Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared in the Indian Ocean is the same one as was shot down over the Ukraine.
These are just a few of the many conspiracy theories that flourish in the echo chamber of the internet.
Mick West is a science writer and is dedicated to the art of debunking wild theories that circulate online and helping other people do the same, with his website, Metabunk.
His passion for debunking comes from a concern that real problems are being ignored because science is ignored.
“The aim of debunking is two-fold it’s identifying the things that are wrong, and communicating why they’re wrong.”
He says one of the most distasteful, and ubiquitous theories, doing the rounds concerns mass casualty events.
“It’s the idea that people are crisis actors and being paid by the government to pretend that their children have died.
“There are actual families in Sandy Hook who have been approached by people who accuse them of being actors, accuse them of having fake children, and these are people whose children were actually killed.”
He says on the conspiracy spectrum the most extreme are those who think everything is a lie.
“Everything you see in the media has been faked and everything you have been taught about history is also fake.
Every single mass casualty event is going to have that theory attached to it.”
Mick says such people get deeper and deeper into their conspiratorial thinking.
"They go into a pit where they can’t actually believe they’re not being lied to."
He says true believers can't back down because seeing the flaws in a theory challenges their world view, so they "double down" on their beliefs.
There’s a very small, but significant, number of people who still think the earth is flat,” he says.

Standing Rock - Kingi Snelgar

EXTENDED BODY:
Māori indigenous rights lawyer Kingi Snelgar is on the ground at Standing Rock. He is involved in the Sioux Tribe protest against a North Dakota oil pipeline which recently resulted in a halt on construction.
The protest hit headlines when security guards working for the pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners tried to move some of those protesters on using pepper spray and guard dogs. That was about the time Kingi Snelgar arrived at the camp in the State of North Dakota.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
What’s your role there?
I came initially to just here and be present and to learn and to offer my support and solidarity. I shared with people my background and some of the things that I have done. There is a legal team here, a group of eight to ten attorneys. Some are licensed, some are not licensed. I am not licensed.
The role that I have taken on is to be a human rights observer. That involves going to actions and observing the protectors in action and how they interact with police and just being an observer to ensure that they remain safe. I am also writing short statements. Basically reflections on some of the issues that come up and my suggestions on ways, from an international point of view, that we could change things.
For example, with the DOJ statement I just suggested that free prime form consent is the framework that should happen because the people here are a sovereign nation. Anything less than consent would undermine that sovereignty.
But I’m also a dishwasher. I’m also a woodcutter and I love just being here and meeting all of these different people and building an indigenous network, which is so important.
When you say sovereign nation, does that mean that the Sioux Nation has legislative powers in its territory? Its own laws?
They do, yes. It’s amazing to see. That was one of reasons why I wanted to come to the U.S. was to see that nation. They have their own police force, they have their own government, their own laws that are passed and their own territories over which they exercise jurisdiction.
And that was really fascinating to me, coming from New Zealand, where we’re all under the one system, and just to see how that works in action and the relationship between the indigenous nation, the state, the federal government. Of course it’s not always rosy, but it’s so powerful to see that kind of autonomy existing for the people here.
There’s autonomy, but isn’t there poverty as well?
Absolutely. I think that always tends to come with trauma that happens when there is confiscation and colonisation and when I was working in Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge for example is the poorest district in the United States and life expectancy is in the late 40s.
The unemployment rate is around 80-90 percent and it’s no mistake that people were put on these reservations because they’re the poorest, the least fertile territories. The amazing thing is that there is a strong spirit despite that history of oppression and colonisation. Real beauty and spiritual connection that I am just so impressed in awe of that the people here have maintained and I have been lucky that I have been able to come here and take part in this movement.
Isn’t there a temptation then to take compensation offer like what is offered for Black Hills. If it is several billion dollars, for a population of 40,000, to do that is a source of capital for the people.
Yeah, absolutely. I can totally understand the desire to take that money and use it to create jobs and better infrastructure, but being here and experiencing the people here, you can’t buy these sacred places from them, you can’t compensate them for the loss of their spiritual ways. Black Hills is a sacred place to them, this river is sacred, this water is sacred. For them that kind of connection can’t be bought. For me I think that is beautiful.
For me as an indigenous person, I think as a society it is important that we remember that money isn’t everything and to protect these kind of taonga, these treasures for future generations, we put things like money second to protecting these treasures for our future.
I think that indigenous perspective is so important to keep sharing around the world because we have so many environmental issues where I see that indigenous way of thinking is a key to protecting our planet and ensuring that we take care of it and there is a still a planet for our great-great grandchildren.
