Manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Sāmoa - Happy Sāmoan Language Week.

To understand deeper what Sāmoan Language Week is about, and how University of Auckland students are celebrating, Wire producer Rosetta Stone spoke to the University of Auckland Sāmoan Students Association (UASSA) public relations officer Rina.

Jacoba Matapo is the first ever appointed Pro Vice Chancellor Pacific at AUT, and has specialised in Pacific early childhood and education. Rosetta spoke to Jacoba about preserving Sāmoan culture amongst younger generations and challenges facing Sāmoan language today.

For his final appearance on Dear Science, Dr Joel Rindelaub talked about why fake news is spread and how to spot it, as well as implicit bias and how to better recognise your own biases.

News and Editorial Director Jessica Hopkins caught up with National's Dr Shane Reti. They spoke about their new housing growth plan and the National Party’s opposition to keeping the current superannuation age. 

Beth Torrance-Hetherington reported on the climate strikes that took place around the country last week. 

And for Sāmoan language week, Rosetta Stone interviewed Rina from the University of Auckland’s Sāmoan Students Association, and AUT Pro Vice Chancellor Pacific Jacoba Matapo about celebrating Sāmoan language in culture in Aotearoa. 

An instalment of beats, melody and vibe, sourced from around the world and served to create an energy spark. Hosted by PHILLIEE.

Every day means we're closer to the re-opening of the Stardome! Also, did it occur to ask why the heck we're even exploring outer space, when we've got shit to deal with back here on Earth?
