Tohorā (southern right whales) are travelling further north and south to forage for food across the Southern Ocean. Researchers say these changes have been occurring over the past 30 years, following a lengthy period of "remarkable consistency" in whale feeding ranges dating back to the 1700s.

In the mid-20th century, hundreds of Banabans were displaced from Banaba Island to Fiji’s Rabi Island due to the devastating impacts of phosphate mining. Today, Banabans on Rabi continue to face discrimination as a partially self-governing entity falling between the cracks of Fiji and Kiribati. Their stories remain largely unheard in Aotearoa New Zealand, where the benefits of mining allowed the British to advance their colonisation and kickstart New Zealand’s agricultural sector.

95bFM digital subeditor Stella Huggins speaks to Katja Phutaraksa Neef, Erin and Banaban delegate Jack, about the forced displacement of the Banaban community and their ongoing human rights struggles, as well as their new art exhibition titled "Justice for Rabi: The Story of Banaba".

Hydrocephalus is a disease with 100 New Zealand patients diagnosed every year. A recent funding injection of $6 million into the world’s first implantable long term brain pressure sensor promises relief for New Zealanders and also those across the globe.

Arno spoke with Professor Simon Malpas who is leading research at the Implantable Devices Group at the University of Auckland. Arno spoke with him to find out more about this research and what it means for New Zealanders as well as a global population. Arno started off by asking for an explanation of what hydrocephalus is.
