Prime Minister Chris Hipkins had his high-powered meeting with Xi Jinping and experts noticed some hesitation. The Chinese President describing New Zealand as a friend and partner, and Hipkins stressed the importance of our ties with China- but didn't return the praise. NZ Contemporary China Research Centre director Jason Young says it's not standard for New Zealand diplomats to label other nations as 'friends'. "I think the word is more loaded for China, where they have extended friendship groups, they try to create friendly relationships and society groups all around the world."

Professors Miriam Leonard and Daniel Orrells, curators at the Freud Museum London, dig into the Austrian's collection of ancient objects, and how archaeology shaped his approach to psychoanalysis in the 20th century. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) simultaneously pioneered both psychoanalysis and global antiquity. Fascinated by classical cultures, he collected objects across space and time, from Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, finding interconnections across the Mediterranean and Middle East. Freud challenged historical precedents - posing Moses as an Egyptian, not a Jew - but he also appropriated classical history to legitimate his practice, and reckon with ideas like the Oedipus Complex. But above all, Freud saw the mind and conscious as ‘an archaeological site'. Likewise, Professors Miriam Leonard and Daniel Orrells dig into his study to find the objects for Freud's Antiquity, unearthing his complex position as both a product and critic of 19th century imperialism. They share how Freud challenged the Western ownership of both historical objects and knowledge, the parallels between individual and human history, why his writings reflect the Nazification of Europe before World War II, and how the violence of empire continues to impact our present. Freud's Antiquity: Object, Idea, Desire runs at the Freud Museum London until 16 July 2023.

Five writers and artists not normally associated with classical music, discuss a specific example of Vaughan Williams's work to which they have a personal connection, and why it speaks to them. Following on from the successful Five Kinds of Beethoven Radio 3 essay series in 2020, where a wide range of Beethoven fans shared their personal relationship to the composer and his work, this new series gives similar treatment to Vaughan Williams. Our essayists share their unexpected perspective on Vaughan Williams's work, taking it outside the standard ‘English pastoral' box, in a series of accessible essays, part of the Vaughan Williams season on Radio 3. Essay 5: Amanda Dalton – poet/dramatist As a teenager in a 1970s working-class Coventry family, Amanda Dalton had a flamboyant favourite Uncle Gordon. He introduced Amanda to Vaughan Williams through embarrassing trips to the record shop after school. Amanda remembers the utter mortification of walking through Coventry city centre in her school uniform, Uncle Gordon sweeping along in a dramatically, her schoolmates giggling behind them. Once at the shop, Uncle Gordon waxed lyrical about his favourite composers. He bought Amanda a record of the Sea Symphony. She took it home, played it and was transported. It has remained significant to her ever since, summoning up her childhood, culture and class and what it is to be an outsider. Amanda Dalton is a poet and playwright, tutor, theatre artist and consultant. She is currently a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund, Associate Artist at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre and a Visiting Teaching Fellow (Script and Poetry) at MMU's Writing School. Amanda has two poetry collections with Bloodaxe, How To Disappear and Stray, and Notes on Water came out in 2022. Her poetry has won awards and prizes in major competitions including the National Poetry Competition and she has been selected as one of the UK's top 20 “Next Generation Poets”. Amanda writes regularly for BBC Radio 3 and 4 – original writing includes a number of original dramas and adaptations. For most of her career, she also worked in the worlds of Education and Creative Engagement. After 13 years as an English and Drama teacher and Deputy Head in comprehensive schools in Leicestershire, she left the formal education sector to be a Centre Director for the Arvon Foundation before becoming a senior leader at Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre, working for 18 years in the field of creative learning.

In this episode we talked with our good friend Robert Didham. He is Centre Director and Associate Professor at the Centre for Collaborative Learning for Sustainable Development Faculty of Education, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. We talked to Robert about education for sustainable development and its place in Agenda 2030 as SDG 4. He explained how SDG 4 takes a comprehensive focus on education when compared to earlier approaches such as the Millennium Development Goals. We then discussed some of the different facets of education such as a more qualitative view on education that is being promoted including focus on youth, technical vocational education and training, gender, jobs and education as lifelong learning. This episode is divided into two parts to allow for more space for discussion. Part two focuses more on Robert's work on education for sustainable development, and what approaches to education are needed to help achieve important sustainable development and climate goals. But that will be in our next release. At small correction shall be noted: At 2:20 in the recording, when Robert was referring to the international framework that is the follow-up to the Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development, he misnamed this framework by referring to it as the Education for 2030 framework, and it should have been correctly referred to the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) for 2030 framework.Please visit ESD for 2030 framework and the subsequent ESD for 2030 roadmap for further information on these initiatives."About Sustainability..." is a podcast brought to you by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), an environmental policy think-tank based in Hayama, Japan.

The director of a rehabilitation centre says she had no warning ahead of a police raid at the facility yesterday. Nga Kete Wananga Solutions, a kaupapa Māori residential facility, was swarmed by police in an operation targeting gangs. They siezed almost half a kilogram of methamphetamine, $5000 in cash, and a firearm. A thirty-eight year old man, who is a patched gang member, was arrested in relation to the items found. Nga Kete Wananga Solutions director Matilda Kahotea spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In this episode we will examine how the evolution of public health is migrating through to ambulance services and creating future opportunities within this field of practice. In May of last year AACE (the association of Ambulance Chief Executives) published a discussion paper around developing a public health approach within the ambulance sector. This paper starts by denoting that every 24 hours, the NHS has contact with over a million people, and the ambulance sector is at the fore front of these interactions. So we also know that ill health maps across social deprivation and indeed constitutes a high percentage of pre-hospital work, so I want to dig into all of the above with Dr Andrew Furber. Andrew has been the Regional Director for Public Health England (Northwest) and Regional Director of Public Health NHS NW since May 2020. He was previously Centre Director for Public Health England (PHE) in Yorkshire and Humber. He has worked as a Director of Public Health from 2007 to 2018 and is a past President of the Association of Directors of Public Health UK (ADPH). He was awarded an OBE for services to public health in the Jubilee Birthday Honours List. In this episode we examine: The necessity of taking a population perspective and approach to public health. What the data is telling us about pre-hospital public health. Potential preventative strategies. Looking at the wider, societal determinants of health and wellbeing and focusing on reducing inequalities. The challenge of working in partnership across health systems. Future opportunities for Paramedics in the domain of public health. Final take home points from Andrew.

The director of a new Ukrainian Welcome Centre in central London has urged Britons to keep their hearts and doors open to Ukrainians who are arriving in the UK fleeing the war in their homeland. Andriy Marchenko talks to us about the Centre, based at the cathedral of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family near Bond Street in central London It provides a single point of contact for essential information for arrival, settling and long-term living in the UK and is a partnership between the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family of London and the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain. "Many of these people have come through a lot of hardship before ending up in the United Kingdom. Many have been through a lot and they tend to be stressed out, they tend to be disoriented sometimes and we aim to help them, to signpost them to the right services in the UK, to give them correct advice so that they know exactly what to do - what their next move should be in order to succeed and, eventually, to thrive in the United Kingdom." ukrainianwelcomecentre.org Transcript My name is Andriy Marchenko. I'm the director of the Ukrainian Welcome Centre. The Ukrainian Welcome Centre has been set up in London as a joint initiative of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family of London and the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain. This is, of course, a direct response to the escalation of Russia's war against Ukraine. It is common knowledge that there are many Ukrainians who are coming to the United Kingdom as they are seeking refuge here from Russian attacks. Our centre aims to support these people as they arrive in the United Kingdom. They need to settle, they need to get all their documentation ready, they have to send their children to schools - the majority of those who are coming are mothers with children. They need to find the proper accommodation, they need social support, they need to find jobs, they need practically to start life anew - even if it is for a little while. Many of these people have come through a lot of hardship before ending up in the United Kingdom. Many have been through a lot and they tend to be stressed out, they tend to be disoriented sometimes and we aim to help them, to signpost them to the right services in the UK, to give them correct advice so that they know exactly what to do - what their next move should be in order to succeed and, eventually, to thrive in the United Kingdom. We normally organise open days here at the centre where Ukrainians can come and ask the questions that are troubling them. We also get quite an extensive support from the UK government. So, for instance, the Home Office Department for Levelling Up and the Department for Work and Pensions send their representatives to our centre for drop-in sessions with the Ukrainians where they can actually directly point those questions to the government. We also provide additional services such as psychological support, GP access, immigration lawyers and so forth. We have set up quite an operation, mostly volunteer-based, but of course we have a lot of support on the part of the Eparchy and also on the part of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain who have supplied a lot of knowledgeable people with a lot of experience in dealing with such matters, who are instrumental to running this centre. I feel blessed that I am surrounded by so many people. We have lots of plans for the future. Right now we have been more or less setting up [our operations] and the past few months have been what we would call the initial few months for our centre. It is not a very easy process because there is quite a bit of bureaucracy involved. First of all, people have to apply from outside the United Kingdom to come here. So before coming here they need to be granted a visa. In order to get their visas, they need to travel outside Ukraine because there is no British visa centre in Ukraine. So first of all they have to travel to places like Poland, France or Germany and apply for UK visas there. They give their biometric data and then just wait for their visas to be processed. That can take quite a long time. For some lucky ones it is not very long, for some it takes a long time. I have heard of several people who have actually given up hope of getting a UK visa and travel to some other country or indeed back to Ukraine. Once they're here, the process can be quite difficult for those newcomers. So this is part of our mission - to try and help them. We give them a one-stop, single point of contact where they can get all the necessary basic information - where to go, which services to apply for, and where to apply for those services. I think the most important thing is for these Ukrainians to remain connected to their homeland because they can end up in very different conditions and situations. Sometimes we have seen these people come in [to the centre] just to speak Ukrainian instead of getting their questions answered. So I think the essential part of it is to keep them together as a community so that when it's time to go home they will remain integrated to Ukraine rather than detached from it. The main challenge is, perhaps, that these people are really very stressed and they have been through a lot and sometimes when we hear these stories it can be quite shocking. Please keep your hearts and doors open to Ukrainians because this is the decisive ground where history is actually being made. Ukrainian people are not coming here on a whim. They have to come here to find refuge from what's happening in Ukraine. Russian forces, the Russian government, have been deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and that includes residential quarters. These people are actually on the run from something that's unavoidable. They had to leave in order to survive, and by helping these people, the British nation is helping the Ukrainian nation survive - a fellow European nation. There is a lot of hardship but I would say that Russia is fighting a war against the whole of the civilised world and not just against Ukraine. It is very important to support Ukraine by supporting Ukrainian people. The United Kingdom is at the forefront of supporting Ukraine and we would be absolutely grateful if British people continued this support to Ukrainian families at this grassroots level. Practically all of them are asking, "Okay, you're working at the centre, you probably know the situation better than us… When will it be safe to go back home?" We should remember that most of these women have left their men fighting in Ukraine. So, of course, they want to go back home, and they want their families reunited. Most of all, they want their old life back - their normal, peaceful life.

A $50 million fund for South Island tourism operators goes live today, but won't help all businesses. It comes ahead of the return of Australian tourists from April 13, and other travellers from May 2. Grants of $10,000 - $50,000 dollars will be given to businesses that've had a 50 percent drop in revenue. Franz Josef Wildlife Centre director, Richard Benton, told Mike Hosking late April is the end of the tourist season for many businesses and the region gets very little benefit from the ski industry. He says they're grateful for the grant, but aren't out of the woods yet. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I am speaking with Sarah Dale - the Centre Director and Principal Solicitor for RACS Australia. RACS (Refugee Advice & Casework Service) provide critical free legal advice, assistance and representation, for financially disadvantaged and vulnerable people seeking asylum in Australia, including: women who have experienced or fear domestic, family or gender-based violence members of the LGBTIQA+ community stateless people children who are seeking protection without their parents people seeking family reunion in Australia They advocate for systemic law reform and policy that treats refugees with justice, dignity and respect. In the episode, I speak with Sarah about the history of the asylum seeker policy in Australia, the critical support that RACS provides to the community's vulnerable and the impact that COVID-19 has had on Australia's refugee and asylum seeker population, both on-shore and in off-shore detention. The refugee sector at large has been under constant threat in recent times, with federal funding decimated. RACS does not receive any federal funding to deliver services and are currently the only organisation providing free legal advice dedicated to supporting people seeking asylum. It's for this reason that I wanted to invite Sarah on the show to share how we can support these people in our community and shed light on the hidden crisis facing refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.

This episode, we're taking a look at one of the biggest frustrations out there in the sector - recruitment and retention. With subsidies flowing and the market-model growing, Australia's early education sector needs more educators and teachers than ever before. But with TAFEs and Unis producing less graduates, and turnover rates not getting any better, we seem to be facing a growing crisis in how to actually ensure professional and qualified educators are working in services. To discuss all these issues, and more, Lisa and Liam are joined by Melissa Armstrong. Mel is the Director of Hamilton's, a recruitment organisation based in NSW. Mel has a background as an Early Childhood Educator and Teacher, including working as a Centre Director. Find the full shownotes at earlyeducationshow.com.

One of the most important roles in the early education sector is the Centre Director. As well as usually being the Nominated Supervisor and individually responsible for ensuring the Law and Regulations are upheld in their service, Directors are also employee managers, often manage administration, need to meet organisational requirements, and a range of other responsibilities. The role is critical to positive outcomes for children, educators and families. But is it time to take a step back and ask - today, is too much expected of Centre Directors?
