Violence against Asian people has largely gone unreported in places like the United States. This changed this week with the murder of eight people, including six Asian-American workers in Atlanta. What are the roots of these crimes? What is the nature of hate crimes against Asian people during COVID? Why have these crimes increased? Doug Becker speaks with Brian Levin.

The native Kauri Trees in the Waitakere Ranges have been under threat from the Kauri Dieback disease for years.
While this is naturally occuring, humans disturbing the area have led to the rate spreading quicker than normal and the trees being put at major risk.
However, a recent report from the council has revealed new details on the spread, showing that the issue, while still prevalent, might not be moving as quickly as previously thought.
To learn more, I spoke to Richard Hills for our regular City Counselling segment about what they’ve recently discovered.
The Waitematā Harbour is an intertidal ecosystem inhabited by clams, cockles, crabs, algae, and microscopic worms.
In a recent University of Auckland study on the effects of microplastics in the Waitematā Harbor PhD Candidate Sam Ladewig found that plastic pollution is fundamentally altering the natural cycles of life in the harbour's waters.
The investigation found that microplastic pollution is altering the flow of oxygen through the systems, and the long-term effects of this are currently unknown.
This week on The Green Desk, Troy spoke to Ladewig about the study and the harms of plastic pollution on New Zealand’s oceans.
It's faux-Thursday! (It's Wednesday but in a short week.) Rob Bollix leads us to The Mind Trench, as we explore nature and noise. Leaping Tiger dials in all the way from London to chat to Rachel about his new album Godspeed! Harry and Alex from F.A.I.R.Y are in the studio to talk about their gig in Tāmaki Makaurau tomorrow night at Whammy Bar, and their new album It Lives. Whakarongo mai nei!
Over the past few years artist Chevron Hasset has become well known as a photographer. But this Friday Artspace is opening his show Far Far Away which explores his interests in sculpture and installation. Hassett is exhibiting a new sculptural work that continues his exploration of urban indigeneity, led by the spirit whanaungatanga. Autobiographical in nature, Chevron’s work embeds community, whanau and whakapapa as essential to the artist and the artwork. Chevron was born in Lower Hutt but has recently moved to Tāmaki. On VA this week, Frances talked to Hassett about the show.
Next Saturday will see the first Zine and Art Market put on by the By Artist and For Artists Collective , aka By and For.
The new collective will be aiming to provide more artist tun spaces and events around Tāmaki Makaurau with the ultimate goal of breaking down the barriers for people to enter the arts community of Aotearoa.
Liam had a chat with Clove, from Of Crafts and Curious, about the collective, the market, and, naturally, socialism.
Rob Bollix takes us through The Mind Trench with an update on orcas, the history of a horse's toe count and a discussion about scientists imitating nature. SJD dials in from Ōtepoti to chat about his upcoming show in Tāmaki Makaurau as part of The Sweetheart Tour 2023. Elliot and Vincent are in the studio, having a kōrero with Rachel about upcoming gigs and projects. Whakarongo mai nei!
This week on Tomorrow’s World, Lelani and Rawan looked into the recent discovery of massive ripples in space and time.
A few weeks ago, Scientists at the North American Nanohertz Observatory detected these gravitational waves in the fabric of space time. The discovery was made with a natural detector that was able to span over thousands of light years.
Rawan spoke with Professor of physics and the University of Auckland, Robert Easther about what these waves are, how they where discovered and what they could mean for future research.
