The courtroom battle that brought down the KKK
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan speaks with best selling journalist and non-fiction writer Laurence Leamer, whose latest book tells the remarkable true story of a legal case in 1981 which bankrupted the Ku Klux Klan.
EXTENDED BODY:
In 1981 Michael Donald, a young black man in Mobile, Alabama, was picked up by two members of the local Ku Klux Klan, beaten to death and strung up in a tree.
His killers were seeking revenge after a largely black jury in the city failed to convict a black man accused of murdering a white police officer.
Alabama had a brutal history of racial lynchings, but there had not been one in the state since 1955.
One of Michael Donald's killers was eventually found guilty; the first time in 50 years in Alabama that a white man was found guilty of killing a black man.
Off the back of that conviction, a precedent-setting civil case was taken by Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Centre.
The victory in that case and $7 million award to Michael Donald's mother effectively bankrupted the Klan and ended the protected status of the group and its members in Alabama.
Laurence Leamer is a best selling journalist and non-fiction writer whose latest book, The Lynching: The Epic Courtroom Battle That Brought Down the Klan, tells this remarkable true story.
He talks to Kathryn Ryan.

Christchurch due, Itty Bitty Beats, has cleaned up at the 2016 Children's Music Awards. Lucy Hiku and Jenny Payne won both the APRA Best Children's Music Song and the Recorded Music Best Children's Album. The awards were presented at a ceremony held in Auckland last night. Lucy speaks to Jesse Mulligan about their work.
Itty Bitty Beats have been in the business of creating songs for children since 2014, and have released albums of both bathtime songs, and bedtime songs.
Lay Your Head Down by Itty Bitty Beats
What makes a good kids song?
"I think it's a good balance of pleasing the children and engaging them, and also keeping the parents sane. Making sure it's something they don't mind listening to over and over and over again. We try to keep it simple, fun, silly, educational, sleepy - depending on what we're making, and keep it on their level."
It's a family affair in more ways than one - Jenny's husband Rob plays most of the instruments and records and produces the albums for them.
"In the first album we brought in trumpets and trombones and saxophones and all sorts of fun instruments, and pretty much everything you hear on the Lullaby's album is Rob playing every instrument. We're in awe of him!
Are there many people making kids music?
"Susie Catto summed it up incredibly well last night when she said New Zealand children's music is the best kept secret in New Zealand, and that's so true. There are so many artists making music, its just about finding a way to ensure that these little ears get to hear what's going on. There are some lovely radio stations playing our music and its about trying to find a way to connect these amazing artists to kids and parents. There are certainly heaps of people making some really amazing stuff.

75 year of our women in blue
BODY:
The New Zealand police are holding a number of events this year to mark 75 years since the first women joined the force in this country. Today Sarah Johnston from Nga Taonga Sound & Vision played us some sound recordings about our women in blue.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand police is marking 75 years since the first women joined the force in limited roles in 1941.
Sarah Johnston from Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision shares some fascinating recordings about the experiences of our early women police.
Before 1956, New Zealand policewomen were confined to driving men around and looking after women and children. After 1956 they began full training alongside their male colleagues. It was 1965 before female police officers got equal pay.
The New Zealand controller of police, Samuel Barnett, said this in 1956..
“If the women police here are to justify their existence then they must – like their English sisters – be prepared to stand on their own and undertake the full range of police duties. It is foolish to pretend that they have done this thus far – and equally it is true that this has not been their fault.
The New Zealand male is not disposed to treat the female of the species on an equal footing, nor to acknowledge that she can do so many things that he thinks himself capable of doing alone.
I must say about the New Zealand policewomen what I have said about the English policewomen, and that is this – she cannot be given a place in the police force, she must earn it. Our policy for the future is that she shall be given a chance to earn her place."
That was the start of a change, but it wasn't until 1985 that women with children could become a police recruit.
Betty Bennett was the first Māori women to become a police officer and in 1961 the first policewoman to be promoted to the rank of Inspector.
In two early Spectrum programmes she talked with Jack Perkins about her work, including undercover operations against sly grogging and gambling dens.
In a 1986 Insight programme Anne Waugh, the first woman senior sergeant in the National Police Control Room in Wellington, discusses the difficulties she faced as a woman in the police.
Ngā Taonga have kindly made the full versions of these recordings available on their website:

Warwick Wilson - the accidental ecologist
BODY:
Warwick Wilson is a founding member of Project Kiwi, a community project to protect the North Island brown kiwi that is about to celebrate its 20th birthday.
EXTENDED BODY:
50 years ago Warwick Wilson bought 400 hectares of bushland on the Kuaotunu Peninsula in the Coromandel - the plan was to clear the native bush and graze 3-thousand sheep. But he didn't. And over the next few decades came to learn about the inhabitants of the bush on his land, including the endangered brown kiwi.
He went on to become a founding member of Project Kiwi, a community project to protect the North Island brown kiwi that is about to celebrate its 20th birthday.
The trust commissioned Sue Hoffart to write the book, Project Kiwi, which centres around Warwick Wilson and his efforts to protect our native icon. He joins Jesse in the Auckland studio.

In a surprise move, the final debate over Auckland's Unitary Plan will exclude two members of the city's Independent Māori Statutory Board.

1:20 Alcohol Interlocks Mandatory for worst drink-drivers
Alcohol interlocks are to become compulsory, for New Zealand's worst drink-drivers.
Under tougher new rules, anyone caught drink driving twice within five years or anyone caught more than three times over the legal limit will receive an interlock sentence.
Gerald Waters has set up a charitable trust, Researching Impaired Driving in New Zealand, on behalf of the friends and family of Katherine Kennedy who was killed by a recidivist drunk driver in 2010.
He's spent his time researching and studying Alcohol and Other Drug impaired driving in New Zealand and internationally.

Sonny Bill Williams remains positive despite injury
BODY:
Sevens Star Sonny Bill Williams will stay on in Rio after he ruptured his achilles tendon in New Zealand's shock loss to Japan this morning, and urges all Kiwis to get behind the team.
EXTENDED BODY:
Injured rugby sevens star Sonny Bill Williams will return to New Zealand for surgery but not until the end of his team's Olympic campaign.
Williams has been ruled out of rugby for nine months, after he ruptured his Achilles tendon during New Zealand's shock loss to Japan this morning.
From his hospital bed, Williams told Checkpoint with John Campbell he did not want sympathy because his injury was "just a speed bump".
"My injury's secondary to the team, and the team trying to go all the way to that gold medal," he said. "I'm not leaving until that last game and hopefully the boys are playing for a gold medal in that game."
He was disappointed to be injured, he said.
"I really wanted to come into the Olympics... I moved into the backs, my preferred position, and everything was starting to click," he said.
"I was training really well, I felt a lot sharper, a little bit quicker, a little bit more powerful but at the end of the day... It's sad but I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me.
"I've had an amazing ride. I've been blessed beyond things that I could never have imagined," he said.
Williams had thanked his trainers for their work, and said he would do it all over again - even if he were to be injured again.
"To be part of something special, to be an Olympian and have the chance to win a medal - it's an amazing feeling," he said.
To get into the sevens team was a tough effort, he said.
"The general public don't really understand... how tough sevens is. So I'm really proud of the boys and I truly, honestly, believe the talent these guys have got. When they click, they can beat anyone," he said.
He said he would do anything he could to support the team - packing their bags, their lunch, or shouting from the sideline.
Williams said he would stay in Rio to support his team until their last game, and urged New Zealanders to get behind them.
New Zealand recovered from the loss to Japan with a win over Kenya, and will play Great Britain in their final pool game tomorrow.

Should the Olympics be free to watch?
BODY:
Olympic fans in Australia, Britain or Canada can watch the games live, on free-to-air television, but that isn't the case in New Zealand.
EXTENDED BODY:
Olympic fans in Australia, Britain or Canada can watch the games live, on free-to-air television, but that isn't the case in New Zealand. Should it be?
Sky Television is the rights holder in this country - and, while it has a free-to-air channel in Prime, it has no obligation to play anything, at any time.
That means some Olympic events are delayed, or not played at all.
On the streets of Auckland, people universally agreed the Olympics should be broadcast live, on free-to-air television.
"Definitely! Because especially at work, we want to watch it but we can't!" said one woman.
"The lady I work with, her nephew is in the swimming or something but she can't watch it," she added. "Poor thing!"
Everyone spoken to by Checkpoint with John Campbell thought the events should be broadcast for free.
But as the woman above demonstrated with her inability to watch the swimming, it was not. Some events were only available if you were willing to pay for a Sky subscription which, with the sports channels, was about $80 a month.
New Zealand First MP Clayton Mitchell said Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom all had laws in place to ensure people could watch the games for free.
He said Sky was fulfilling a moral obligation by offering some viewing on its free channel, Prime, but it was far from ideal.
"Generally, quite considerably delayed and with advertising, and look, good on them for having that moral obligation," he said.
"What we're saying is we need to have a legal obligation to ensure that... games of national significance, like the games we've been watching today, are broadcast free-to-air, because taxpayers are paying for it."
Mr Mitchell cited the New Zealand men's sevens game against Kenya, which was played on Prime but two hours late.
By that time, he said, most people knew the result.
Mr Mitchell has drafted a bill that would mean those "games of national significance" had to be broadcast for free.
"Whether we do pop-up channels... We're in a new age now with online streaming live and free.
"But as it simply sits on the table today it's about ensuring those games that New Zealanders hold dear to themselves can have full access... without having to pay twice."
In short, it was anti-siphoning legislation.
"Basically a no-paywall principle," explained Coalition for Better Broadcasting chair Peter Thompson, who is also a media lecturer at Victoria University in Wellington.
"So that certain cultural events have, in the first instance at least, have to be offered to a free provider at a fair price."
He pointed to Australia, where that was already in place. This Olympics, Channel 7 had the rights and was streaming 900 hours of footage live, for free, he said.
He also had another suggestion.
"A single buyer, so if you purchase the rights to the Olympic coverage as a nation, through a cultural provider such as New Zealand On Air, and then you disperse those rights across the media, you could cut out a lot of the arguments about what those rights entail.
"There would be a central public provider, and they could provide the rights to all the other media. That way, everybody gets everything."
But Mr Thompson conceded giving up exclusive-use was not that attractive to a paid-provider like Sky.
