Should Parents Really Feel Guilty About Screen Time

Many parents will recognise this situation: a sick child, a long car trip, or as is the case over the past few days . . . constant rain during the school holidays. Added to all the other stresses of parenting, sometimes the easiest thing to do is switch on the TV - sometimes for hours. But should parents worry about those occasional "all-day screen" moments? Dr Jo Orlando is a digital well being researcher at Western Sydney University. She joins us to look at finding the right balance in a world where screens are now part of everyday life. She speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.

Celebrated New Zealand artist Dame Robin White has returned to painting with oil for the first time in 50 years. Renowned for portraying people and their environments in New Zealand and the Pacific in prints and tapa cloth, Robin's latest painting 'Karawa, Tarawa, Marawa (Sky, Land, Sea) aligns beautifully with Kiribati Language Week happening around the country right now. For 17 years Robin and her family lived in Kiribati, and for the filming of Grace: A Prayer for Peace by Dame Gaylene Preston, they both returned to Tarawa. Susana speaks to Robin at her home in Masterton and Gaylene at her home in Wellington.

How do we keep our buildings standing?

There were tense scenes in New York this morning. A high-rise office building near Grand Central Terminal in New York was evacuated this morning after engineers raised fears it could be at risk of collapse. Leading to emergency services evacuating a busy Manhattan street block during the morning rush hour. The building, which was being transformed from offices into apartments, highlights just how complex these enormous structures are. And while skyscrapers of this scale are less common in New Zealand, our buildings face another powerful force . . . earthquakes. Susana is joined by AUT Associate Professor of seismic engineering Dr Shahab Ramhormozian to look at how we keep our buildings standing.
