Helen Clark says bold commitments needed to eradicate poverty
BODY:
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark is the head of the United Nations Development Programme. In September, the UN meets to agree on a new set of sustainable development goals to replace the 15-year-old Millennium Development Goals, which are set to expire this year. More than 150 world leaders are expected to attend. Helen Clark says bold actions are needed from governments at all levels; civil society - including the scientific, research, and academic communities; and business to eradicate extreme poverty and tackle the disruptive inequalities, faced by our world. Helen Clark is giving the Bishop Sir Paul Reeves Memorial Lecture, at 7:30 pm on August 26th, at the Sir Paul Reeves Building in AUT University, Auckland.
EXTENDED BODY:
Former Prime Minister, and current head of the United Nations Development Group, Helen Clark, says although global goals to reduce poverty have been met, many countries haven't seen enough change.
The UN's Millennium Development Goals, which are now up for renewal, aimed to halve "extreme" poverty.
Ms Clark said while that target had been met, it was mostly down to the actions of single, large countries.
"It was met overwhelmingly because China lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, and when China moves, that moves global figures and averages.
"So for many countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, there hasn't been so much movement. There has been some downward movement, but not enough."
The UN is now a month away from setting new sustainable development goals for 2030.
Ms Clark said these would be more ambitious.
"They talk about going to zero by 2030. The World Bank qualified that recently by saying get to zero, minus 3 percent."
She said the previous goals took a while to catch on, but she was confident the next set would get off to a better start because of the huge public consultation process around them.
But she said aid in terms of money itself was just a drop in the ocean, and while the current figure for aid for the world was $135 billion, a UN estimated cost of putting these new goals in place is between $3.3 and $4.5 trillion a year.
"It's the petty cash, it can very helpful and catalytic in building the capacities in developing countries to develop themselves.
"The big action is going to come from a country being able to mobilise the money.
"It's taxes, it's quality loans, the investment it attracts."
She was also confident in the improvement of the very agency she runs, after reports of the UNDP being "dysfunctional and probably corrupt".
"For sure it was in need of a bit of a jolly-up shall we say.
"And by the way, we have so turned it round that last year, we were rated as the most transparent and accountable aid organisation in the world, well ahead of USAID, New Zealand Aid, Britain's aid effort, the World Bank. So we're pretty proud of what we're doing."
But the former Prime Minister would not comment on whether she was after another top job - this time the role of UN Secretary General.
"I've never expressed any ambition in this respect at all. It's a highly geo-political matter.
"I really haven't commented one way or the other."
She did admit to having an opinion on whether the New Zealand flag should change, but said that opinion was not going to be shared either.
Ms Clark is giving the Bishop Sir Paul Reeves Memorial Lecture, at 7:30 pm tonight, at the Sir Paul Reeves Building in AUT University, in Auckland.

HPV discovery 'could re-write obstectric text books'
BODY:
Dr Noelyn Hung from the Otago Department of Pathology explains the groundbreaking research linking the HPV cervical cancer causing virus, with pregnancy complications.
EXTENDED BODY:
New research has found links between Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), placentas and pregnancy complications.
The research conducted by the University of Otago and published in the US Journal of Modern Pathology studied 339 placentas between 2009 and 2014, and found three quarters of them were infected with HPV.
The study found mothers with an infected placenta gave birth on average a week early, and 15 percent of the infected placentas were associated with lower birth weight.

Of the infected placentas, 78 percent were classed as high risk, which is known to cause cervical and other cancers.
Head of the study Dr Noelyn Hung said three different patterns of the infection were found in the placentas.
"Not every infected placenta will have problems, it depends on the pattern of infection which is influenced by the mother's immune system."

Dr Hung said while further investigation is required, the study provides evidence to support HPV vaccination.
The Ministry of Health provides HPV immunisation free to girls and young women up to the age of 20.
The immunization aims to protect young women from HPV infection and the risk of developing cervical cancer.
Currently around 150 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 50 women die from it each year in New Zealand.
Dr Hung said the vaccine immunises against four strands of HPV but there are over 180 strands of the virus.
"We still don't know if the vaccine which is targeting HPV in the cervix will help with infection in the placenta, we can hope, but we have no evidence of that yet," she said.

Professor of Food Politics, Marion Nestle
BODY:
Big food and soft drink companies are countering anti obesity campaigns by funding studies that paint their products in a better light.
EXTENDED BODY:
Food politics professor, Marion Nestle calls it "physical activity diversion" – the way big food companies are trying to change the conversation around their product's links to obesity and poor health by promoting increased physical activity as the best way to lose weight and improve health.
The NYU professor and author has been collecting food and health studies for her blog that serve the interests of their food company sponsors. Studies that reject the products links with obesity or disease, including high-fat cheese and sugar.
Professor Nestle says there is a clear conflict of interest. She estimates that 90 percent of studies about soft drinks that were funded by that industry conclude it is not bad for you.
"These days, you almost have to feel sorry for soda companies. Sales of sugar-sweetened and diet drinks have been falling for a decade in the United States, and a new Gallup Poll says 60% of Americans are trying to avoid drinking soda. In attempts to reverse these trends and deflect concerns about the health effects of sugary drinks, the soda industry invokes elements of the tobacco industry’s classic playbook: cast doubt on the science, discredit critics, invoke nanny statism and attribute obesity to personal irresponsibility"
One example is the Global Energy Balance Network, which is described as a non-profit group promoting research into the causes of obesity. It concludes that the answer is to increase physical activity rather than reduce intake of certain foods. It is funded by Coca Cola.
"Personally, I can’t wait to see the list of Coke-funded research activities. Want to bet how many of those studies came out with results that Coca-Cola can use to claim that sugary drinks have no effect on obesity or type 2 diabetes?"
Professor Nestle says companies that produce natural foods are doing it too, trying to boost sales by painting theirs as a super food that reduces disease. For example the Almond Board of California funded a study recently that showed eating almonds is good for diabetics. "It looks like science, but it's not. It's business first."
Marion Nestle is author of several books on food and nutrition. Her 2002 book Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health - revealed how the food industry in the US consciously encourages people to eat more and more often.
She spoke with Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon.

Music of the Isley Brothers with Marty Duda
BODY:
The Isley Brothers are the only act to hit the Billboard Top 40 in six decades, from the 1950s to the 2000s. The trio, led by vocalist Ron Isley started out as a gritty soul act cranking out energetic records like Twist & Shout, Respectable and Nobody But Me in the late 1950s and early '60s. They signed to Motown in 1965 and scored with the Holland/Dozier/Holland classic 'This Old Heart Of Mine' a year later. But the group was overshadowed by label mates like The Temptations, The Four Tops and The Supremes so they moved on in 1969 and immediately hit it big with the very funky 'It's Your Thing'. Their greatest success came in the 1970s when they added three more family members, including guitarist Ernie Isley and has a string of hits including 'That Lady', 'Harvest For The World' and their inspired version of 'Summer Breeze'. Despite the sickness, death and incarceration, The Isley Brothers, led by Ronald Isley, aka Mr Biggs, continue on to this day.
