An SBS World News investigation has uncovered evidence of multiple anti-Muslim neo-Nazi cells posing as fitness clubs across Australia. The presence of these groups has sparked "grave concern" among Australia's security services. Muslim community leaders who lost friends in the Christchurch attacks say they're concerned Australia could be the next site of a far-right terrorism act targeting Muslims and called for a more concerted condemnation of far-right ideology. - Истрага на SBS World News откри докази дека присуството на овие групи предизвика „сериозна загриженост“. Лидерите на муслиманската заедница велат дека се загрижени дека Австралија може да биде следната локација на екстремно десничарскиот терористички чин насочен кон муслиманите и повикаа на поконтролирана осуда на екстремно десничарската идеологија.

It was a bumper weekend for provincial rugby, with Hawke's Bay locking away the Ranfurly Shield for the summer and All Blacks captain Sam Cane making a guest appearance for Heartland union King Country. But the most compelling story unfolded in Christchurch, where Waikato stunned four-time defending champions Canterbury in the final of the women's Farah Palmer Cup. The 22-20 result came despite the visitors having to twice hurriedly relocate from level 3 restrictions as alert levels tightened last week - firstly in Hamilton and then Cambridge. The team's No.8 Victoria Edmonds scored a crucial try in the final. She spoke to Corin Dann.

Experts warn it's probably just a matter of time before Covid-19 spreads its tentacles further and in to areas such as the South Island, which hasn't had widespread transmission for almost 18 months. As of yesterday there were 60 new cases, including four outside Auckland. Conan Young asked shoppers in Christchurch how worried they are about community spread in their neighbourhoods.

Một cuộc điều tra của SBS World News đã phát hiện bằng chứng nhiều nhóm Tân Quốc xã chống Hồi giáo giả dạng các câu lạc bộ thể dục trên khắp nước Úc. Sự hiện diện của các nhóm này đã làm dấy lên "mối quan ngại nghiêm trọng" trong các dịch vụ an ninh Úc. Hoạt động của các nhóm này chưa từng được truyền thông Úc tiết lộ trước đây. Các nhà lãnh đạo cộng đồng Hồi giáo từng bị mất bạn bè trong các cuộc tấn công tại Christchurch nói họ lo ngại Úc có thể là địa điểm tiếp theo của một hành động khủng bố cực hữu nhắm vào người Hồi giáo và kêu gọi cần phải lên án nhiều hơn nữa và có sự phối hợp tốt hơn nữa nhằm đương đầu hệ tư tưởng cực hữu.

The first of two repatriation flights of Cook Islanders stranded in New Zealand because of our lockdown left Christchurch last night.

The Canterbury and Waikato rugby teams both believe they can overcome the loss of their Black Ferns players in tomorrow's Farah Palmer Cup final in Christchurch. Canterbury are aiming for their fifth straight title, while Waikato are hoping to secure their first. It's been another disrupted season for the competition. Barry Guy reports.

The first repatriation flight from New Zealand to the Cook Islands has landed in Rarotonga. Eighty-seven people departed Christchurch last night after pre-departure medical checks and arrived home in the early hours of this morning.

A Canterbury-based EV technology which short-circuits the peak 6 o'clock charging surge has just received a funding boost. Christchurch startup Evnex is bridging the gap between the electric car owner and the electricity industry. The team at Evnex has developed and is now installing a fast at-home re-charge unit, which sets timings for when electricity is plentiful and cheap. Evnex has recently raised $2.7 million in a seed round led by technology investor Movac and Sir Stephen Tindall. Kathryn is joined by Evnex founder and chief executive Ed Harvey.

Many of the private law firms with warrants to prosecute serious crimes for the Crown are failing to reflect the diversity of the regions they serve - despite that being a condition of their lucrative contracts with Crown Law. Crown Solicitor firms in Christchurch, Gisborne and Whanganui have no Maori Crown prosecutors at all - and few of the firms outside Auckland have more than one. Guyon Espiner has been looking at the Crown Solicitor Network as part of the the RNZ Indepth team's series, 'Is This Justice?'. He spoke to Morning Report's Kim Hill.

Other examples are going through datasets, such as health records, to find themes and new information. Andrew also highlights the work of some local data journalists. Andrew Holden is a journalist for more than 30 years including five as Editor of The Press (in Christchurch) and four as Editor-in-Chief of The Age in Melbourne.

Day one of the historic Peter Ellis appeal at the Supreme Court in Wellington focused mainly on the reliability of a child's evidence. Ellis died in 2019 and it's the first time in New Zealand the convictions of a dead person have been appealed. The Christchurch childcare worker, who was jailed on 16 child sex abuse convictions in 1993, was granted the appeal before his death in September 2019 - looking at whether there was miscarriage of justice in a 1999 appeal against 13 of his convictions.

There is a lot riding on this Monday's Covid-19 level announcement, and not just for Aucklanders desperate to get back to a life as relatively normal. A shift down to level 2 for the country's biggest city could also mean a drop to level one for everyone else - opening the door to events with no restrictions on crowd numbers. As Conan Young reports, in Christchurch it would allow Cup and Show Week to happen and help to fill some coffers left very empty by lockdown.

Mayors around the country are lining up for a fight as the controversial three waters reforms approach another deadline. The plan shifts control of drinking, waste and storm water infrastructure from 67 councils into four big regional water authorities. Eight weeks of consultation ends this week and at some point councils will have to opt in or out - 20 have already said no including including Auckland and Christchurch. Central Otago still hasn't decided which way to go but Mayor Tim Cadogan told reporter Tess Brunton there's a lot he's worried about especially the lack of voice for consumers.

The government's plans to transfer control of water infrastructure from councils to a new agency took another blow on Monday. The proposal has already been rejected by the country's largest council, Auckland, and this morning the next largest one, Christchurch, formally registered its disapproval. Conan Young reports.

Former Silver Ferns shooter Jodi Brown says the pressure went on, and the team crumbled, in the third test against the England Roses. The Roses beat a depleted Silver Ferns 49-45 to win the Taini Jamison Trophy series in Christchurch - despite the local side being 10 points ahead at half time. Brown says the collapse was a result of injury and a lack of leadership on the court. She spoke to Corin Dann.

Imagine being told you had just 30 minutes to choose a handful of your most prized possessions before everything you owned was put in a skip and taken to the dump. A Christchurch family says that was their experience after their Kainga Ora home became contaminated with asbestos. As Conan Young reports, the family accuses the state landlord of lacking any compassion and for mishandling the repairs on their home, potentially affecting their health.

The Silver Ferns face a mammoth task to hold onto the Taini Jamison Trophy when they take on England in the deciding Test in Christchurch tonight. The Ferns confirmed this afternoon that injury has ruled out both their captain and vice-captain from the must-win clash. After taking the first Test by six, the Roses beat the Ferns by 10 two nights ago and will fancy their chances again, against a depleted New Zealand side. Sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe is in Christchurch.  

Silver Ferns' coach Dame Noeline Taurua has a tough task on her hands, as she assembles her starting line-up against the England Roses for tonight's series decider. England levelled the three-test series on Wednesday with a 55-45 win in Christchurch, as the Ferns' coach experimented with new combinations, which included the debut of 19-year-old Grace Nweke. Northern Mystics assistant coach Rob Wright spoke to Susie Ferguson.

A much-changed Silver Ferns have unravelled to lose 55-45 to England in the second Taini Jamison Trophy netball test in Christchurch.

The Silver Ferns shook off any rust they may have had after a disrupted build-up by beating the England Roses 48-42 in the first of three Tests in Christchurch on Monday night. New Zealand sprung a bit of a surprise when they started with uncapped player Tiana Metuarau at Goal Attack. But the move paid off - and the daughter of former Silver Fern captain and coach Wai Taumaunu had a dream debut, finishing with 17 from 19 at 90 percent accuracy. It earnt her the Player of the Match award. Coach Dame Noeline Taurua reflected on Metuarua's debut, where she became Silver Fern number 178. Dame Noeline was also pleased with the way her side performed given the limited build up. Sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Susie Ferguson.

International netball returns tonight, with the first of three tests between the NZ and England in Christchurch - but it took players from both teams to jump through numerous Covid-19 hoops to get there. England's buildup has been dominated by their stint in managed isolation while four Auckland-based members of the Silver Ferns squad were granted a late exemption from the government to join their team-mates. Netball reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Corin Dann.

If You Want To Take On Your 40's With Hormone Harmony, You Should: Change your mindset, believe your body works for you, and be willing to make changes as your body changes Stop resisting menopause as a sign of age and instead embrace the biological aspect of this new phase Get tested for insulin resistance if you can, improve your gut function, and decrease your stress   While your hormones may be changing in your 40's, that does not mean you have to suffer.

The truth is, your symptoms could be showing up a lot earlier than you think, which is why it is essential to equip yourself with the knowledge you need to help your hormones during this transition. Unfortunately, our modern world has changed the way we experience perimenopause and menopause. But the good news is that you don't need to suffer through symptoms or ‘feel old'.

Helping your brain and your hormones complete this transition is key to improving your metabolic flexibility and lessening your symptoms.  Dr. Briden and I want to challenge you to stop looking at menopause as ‘aging', because this was always your body's plan. Instead, we want you to make changes in harmony with the changes your body is making to welcome this new phase of your life as the most successful and progressive.

Today's Quotation is care of W. H. Auden.Listen in!Subscribe to the Quarantine Tapes at quarantinetapes.com or search for the Quarantine Tapes on your favorite podcast app!Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England, on February 21, 1907. He moved to Birmingham during childhood and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. As a young man he was influenced by the poetry of Thomas Hardy and Robert Frost, as well as William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Old English verse. At Oxford his precocity as a poet was immediately apparent, and he formed lifelong friendships with two fellow writers, Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood. In 1928, his collection Poems was privately printed, but it wasn't until 1930, when another collection titled Poems (though its contents were different) was published, that Auden was established as the leading voice of a new generation.Ever since, he has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from an extraordinary variety of literatures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information. He had a remarkable wit, and often mimicked the writing styles of other poets such as Dickinson, W. B. Yeats, and Henry James. His poetry frequently recounts, literally or metaphorically, a journey or quest, and his travels provided rich material for his verse.He visited Germany, Iceland, and China, served in the Spanish Civil war, and in 1939 moved to the United States, where he met his lover, Chester Kallman, and became an American citizen. His own beliefs changed radically between his youthful career in England, when he was an ardent advocate of socialism and Freudian psychoanalysis, and his later phase in America, when his central preoccupation became Christianity and the theology of modern Protestant theologians. A prolific writer, Auden was also a noted playwright, librettist, editor, and essayist. Generally considered the greatest English poet of the twentieth century, his work has exerted a major influence on succeeding generations of poets on both sides of the Atlantic. W. H. Auden served as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1954 to 1973, and divided most of the second half of his life between residences in New York City and Austria. He died in Vienna on September 29, 1973.From https://poets.org/poet/w-h-auden. For more information about W. H.

Mass casualty events are rare and thus the mistakes made and lessons learned are often repeated, over and over. In this episode, emergency physician and former Special Forces medic Mike Shertz, MD walks us through the steps on how to be an effective first receiver of mass casualty victims and shares the lessons written in blood from previous events.  Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher   Guest Bio: Mike Shertz MD is an emergency physician who spent 13 years as a Green Beret and a Special Forces medic. He is the founder and purveyor of Crisis Medicine which teaches and trains first responders in tactical casualty care. Check out this video that we did together in 2019 on how to place and remove a tourniquet and this one on how to pack a gunshot wound with combat gauze.    This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter.   We Discuss: The First Receiver who is in a singularly unique position as it applies to a mass casualty [03:55]; The difference between a hospital's surge capacity and mass casualty preparedness [05:30]; What you might expect from EMS during a mass casualty as compared with a normal day [08:20]; The mindset of the medical provider after receiving a patient from EMS [10:32]; The value of a field triage score which is a simple way to stratify casualties [12:50];  How the success of a mass casualty event for the first receiver has to do with organization, throughput, and saving lives [16:15]; Lessons learned from the Christchurch, New Zealand mass shooter incident [29:45]; How your response to a mass casualty differs if you're unsure about the safety of your facility (as was the case in the 2020 Beirut explosion) [41:15]; One of the sayings of the Special Forces:  ‘All lessons are written in blood' [43:27]; The question Shertz thinks people should ask of their hospital disaster planners [45:45]; And more.   For complete and detailed show notes, previous episodes, or to sign up for our newsletter: https://www.stimuluspodcast.com/ If you like what you hear on Stimulus and use Apple/iTunes as your podcatcher, please consider leaving a review of the show.

Mark explains his process, why he believes he needs to practice preaching a message six times before ever speaking it to an audience and how he has framed talks for students, college classroom, and adult congregation. What Mark shares about the importance of character at the end is worth the whole episode. Who is Mark Moore?
