South Auckland's Tangaroa College has asked students to cover uniforms in public after videos of student brawls surfaced. Tension between students at Manukau schools is also spreading into online goading. One video shows about 15 young people fighting, with one lying on the pavement being kicked in the head. Principal Chris Bean says because Tangaroa College's uniform is so distinctive, he doesn't want students wearing it around and about. "We just wanted to be sure that they could move through from home to school and vice-versa in a safe way." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever attended a large concert in a stadium, you'll be aware of the efforts performers go to in order to make the crowd jump, dance and scream as loud as possible, in order to build up an intense atmosphere. Some concerts seem to go further than others, with recent reports that both Taylor Swift and Travis Scott gigs caused earthquakes, due to the jumping crowds.Sean was joined by Chris Bean, Head of geophysics at the Dublin institute for advanced studies to discuss…

Generally speaking, Ireland is a pretty safe place. For example, when it comes to natural phenomena, insects, or animals, very few things can do you serious harm. We have no snakes, bears, wolves, or venomous species, and our spiders are 99.9% benign. And it's also the case that seismic activity is very rare here and even if it is detected, it pales in comparison to our nearest neighbour, the UK. Why? Chris Bean who leads the Geophysics Section at DIAS joins Jonathan to discuss.

Chris Bean, Senior Professor and Head of Geophysics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), discusses the scale of the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
