A number of nations have recently banned international surrogacy, including Mexico, Thailand, India, Cambodia, and Nepal.

Others have strong concerns about the ethics of surrogacy. Earlier this year the Hague Conference on Private International Law held a meeting involving 20 nations, to try to establish a wider consensus on the issue.

Raising strong, happy sons: Richard Aston

Richard Aston outlines how to raise our boys to become fine young men.
EXTENDED BODY:
What sort of man will my boy become? This is the question Richard Aston from the mentoring programme Big Buddy hears the most.

Our Boys – a new book Richard co-authored with his partner Ruth Kerr outlines what makes boys tick and describes their development from babyhood to childhood to manhood. It's also full of ideas for raising boys to become good-hearted, well-adjusted, happy men.
Big Buddy matches up boys who don't have a father figure with male mentors. CEO Richard Aston was a guest on Nine to Noon in 2014.
Interview highlights
Richard Aston: These are broad generalisations – there’s always differences on the margins – but boys need to think by doing, by action. They need to have a lot of connection with the natural world at various stages in their life. It becomes really critical once they’re teenagers – and that’s starting to fall off in the digital age.
They need praise, which is the opposite of shame – they need less shaming and more praising. It’s like food to them.They need really strong engagement and really clear boundaries and authentic people around htem.
Boys have really good bullshit detectors, but they’re not relaly nuanced in reading people. You’ve got to be authentic. They get confused if you’re not being authentic.
[Boys] need to be around men. And they’re reading it flat out. Their neurons are going flat out in their brain forming ‘This is what a man is’. And it’s not like they’re going to become a mini-me of their father or their grandfather or the man in their life. They’re looking for a reference point in what malehood means. They’ll grow up and make their own decisions about what sort of man they’re going to become, but they need an anchor point to start with.
In terms of communications boys need pretty plain, clear messages. Nigel Latta has a good phrase – “Put a full stop on the end of it”, particularly when you’re setting consequences.
Boys need silence, they won’t process things straightaway. They need 24 hours quite often to have a big think, to have a bit of silence. That’s a thing we often miss for boys – their need for silence, their need for space.
It’s not so much what the dads are doing, it’s who they are. Boys have fantastic radars. Thye’re absorbing… ‘This is how men do this. This is how men buy stuff from the shop. This is how men dress. This is how men walk. This is how men solve problems.’ All that stuff is filtering in.
In puberty when the whole issue of sex comes up, I think it’s good for Dad to be talking about that or a man in the boy’s life, from a male perspective because there are some key challenges our boys are facing as they grow into puberty. A proliferation of porn is one thing – which basically teaches boys that sex is a fantasy world. And it’s got nothing to do with real relationships. Dad can be talking about real relationships and how intimacy is linked to those.A boy has got a fantastic amount of stuff to learn from his dad about sexuality and his emerging sexuality.
The worst thing you can do for your son is turn him into a mini me. Be aware of the projections. Put the opportunities out there for him… It’s a real strong discipline for a father to say ‘That’s cool. You want to be a dancer. I’m cool with that’.
We’re encouraging all the way along to notice who your boy is. Be conscious of who he is and who he’s becoming. He may become a mini-me, that’s OK, too. But look for the little clues. Sometimes you see them quite young.
Build up a picture of who your boy is becoming and expect to be surprised… pleasantly.

Bird-Watching in North Korea

Not many people get to North Korea, and if they do manage to get in, they don't always get out.

The yellow sea area marks the stop off point for millions of migrating birds heading from the Southern Hemisphere to the arctic. Keith Woodley from the Miranda Shorebird Centre leads the team.
EXTENDED BODY:
Not many people get to North Korea, and if they do manage to get in, they don't always get out.
But a team of avid birdwatchers and conservationists from New Zealand has been going to North Korea every year for the past three years to count and watch birds.
The Yellow Sea area marks the stop-off point for millions of migrating birds heading from the Southern Hemisphere to the Arctic - known as the East-Asian Australasian Flyway.
One of the team members, Keith Woodley from the Miranda Shorebird Centre in Pokeno, told RNZ what it was like to bird-watch in the world's most reclusive and secretive state.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
People won’t believe that you get to go to North Korea for bird-watching. Keith, how on earth did you manage it?
Well, the credit starts with Winston Peters. When he was Minster of Foreign Affairs, he went to Pyongyang in 2007 on an official visit. We got wind that he was going beforehand, so we wrote and asked him to raise the idea that we would be interested in going and looking at some shore birds. He raised the issue, the North Koreans were receptive, so we’ve been able to get up there for the last three years.
Tell me about what the birds are doing. Why are they stopping off in North Korea?
Hundreds of thousands (several million, maybe) of shore birds and water birds migrating through the East Asian-Australian Flyway each year, from places like Australia and New Zealand and South Asian [countries], and many of them are using the mudflats around the Yellow Sea for refuelling.
Interestingly, development is not encouraged in North Korea and they have plenty of issues - but there’s something there for the birds that they have not rushed into economic development and industrialisation.
That is certainly true. We are seeing a few changes, even in just the short time we’ve been going up there, with quite a bit of development going on in Pyongyang. But the West Sea (their coast of the Yellow Sea) is largely farmland still and there hasn’t been a lot of development there, which is really good news.
Because the other parts of the Yellow Sea that are depended on very heavily by these birds, particularly the Chinese coast and the coast of South Korea, have been heavily developed in the last few decades. In fact, there has been an absolutely colossal loss of mudflats in both of those countries in the last few decades. This is an incredible loss of habitat for these remarkable migrants.
What migrants are we talking about?
From the New Zealand context, we are particularly focused on bar-tailed godwits. They’re the birds that migrate between here and Alaska. They breed in Alaska and come back. They’re quite an impressive bird. We have red knots, also breeding up in Siberia, they’re stopping elsewhere in the Yellow Sea. But part of our interest in North Korea is to investigate whether there is an important red knot site in North Korea as well. Because the site in China, which is depended on by about 60 percent of the population is being squeezed by development as well, so it would be very good to find out if there is another alternative for these guys. After godwits, they’re the second most numerous of the Arctic-breeding shore birds that we get in New Zealand.
'Nativism' is quite a difficult concept with birds that fly halfway around the world, but do we claim these as New Zealand birds?
Well interestingly, they were classed as migrants for a long time, but New Zealand has re-classified them as native because both species spend about six months of their year within New Zealand.
The rest of the time they spend maybe a couple of months up on the Tundra breeding and the rest of the time migrating. So they’re spending over half of the year in New Zealand, so they kind of are.

The garden bird survey turns 10
BODY:
More than a million birds have been counted in the last nine years of the garden bird survey, and sparrows and silvereyes consistently top the rankings.
EXTENDED BODY:
More than a million birds have been counted in the last nine years of the New Zealand garden bird survey – and sparrows and silvereyes consistently top the rankings.
Sparrows first. Silvereyes second. That’s just the way it is in our gardens.
Year after year, the introduced house sparrow comes out top, as the most numerous bird in gardens throughout New Zealand.
Fighting a good second is the plucky little silvereye, a self-introduced native which arrived on these shores during the 1800s.
Two more introduced birds, the starling and blackbird, tend to come in third and fourth, and it’s not until you get to fifth or sixth place that everyone’s favourite bird, the tui, gets a look-in.
Eric Spurr, from Landcare Research, has been organising New Zealand’s annual garden bird survey since 2007.
“I started it because at the time New Zealand had no measure of trends in our bird populations, especially our more common species,” says Eric.

The survey depends on thousands of volunteers who each spend an hour counting birds in their own garden over one midwinter week..
“We decided to do it in gardens so people didn’t have to leave home to participate.”

Between 3,000 and 4,000 citizen scientists take part each year, but the organisers would love to have more people out counting.
“What we’re trying to do is build a picture of birdlife across New Zealand,” says Landcare Research’s Catriona MacLeod.
“If you think we all have a little piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and it only a few of us put our jigsaw puzzle pieces on the table, then we don’t get a very clear picture of what’s happening. But if everybody put their pieces on the table we’d have a very clear picture.”

Catriona is using data from the garden bird survey as part of a project to develop Trustworthy Biological Indicators. Indicator species are those whose numbers give a good idea of whether the ecosystem they live in is healthy or in trouble.
Q & A
What’s the most unusual bird that’s been seen?
The rare hihi, or stitchbird. One was seen in a Wellington garden near the Zealandia Sanctuary and one was seen in Waitakere City, several kilometres from where it was released in Ark in the Park. Kaka are also recorded occasionally in the Coromandel and on Stewart Island.
Does having a bird feeder in your garden make a difference?
“It makes a huge difference,” says Eric. In gardens where people feed bread, fruit and sugar water to birds, there are two to three times as many house sparrows and silvereyes. Native fantails and grey warblers are less common in gardens with bird feeders.
Are there differences between rural and urban gardens?
“Rural gardens generally have more birds of most species than urban gardens,” says Eric. He suspects that rural gardens may be larger and have more diverse vegetation than urban gardens.
What's the greatest number of birds counted in one year?
In 2015, about 138,000 birds were counted nationwide, up 38,000 on the previous year and one of the highest counts on record. Eric says harsh conditions last winter probably forced more birds to move into gardens in search of food. Over a million birds have been counted in more than 25,000 gardens in the 9 years the survey has been runnning.
Want to take part?
The 2016 garden bird survey runs from Saturday 25 June to Sunday 3 July.
You can find details of how to carry out your one-hour count and how to enter the data online on the Landcare Research web site.
The garden bird survey has an active community on Facebook.
You can find out lots more about birds at New Zealand Birds Online.
If you are a teacher, LEARNZ is carrying out a virtual field trip based around the bird survey.
This year, for the first time, the garden bird survey is collaborating with Nature Watch New Zealand, which collects natural history records and sightings.
Once the team has this year’s data they are planning a large analysis of population trends over the survey’s ten years, with those results due in early 2017.

1:15 Fixing the Blackspots on NZ's highways
The Government has announced a new roading initiative, that it says could save 900 lives and prevent serious injuries over the next decade.
An extra 600 million dollars, will be spent to fix blackspots, on State Highways throughout the country.
Mike Noon is the general manager motoring policy at the New Zealand Automobile Association - he explains where these dangerous sites are, and what needs to be done.
1:25 Mud Festival for Rotorua
Rotorua has announced it will hold a mud festival in December.
It's based on a similar event in South Korea which attracts more than three million visitors a year, and Boryeong City where it's based is a partner in the New Zealand event.
Rotorua mud is very high in minerals due to the volcanic activity in the area. It also stores heat easily when it's warmed.
Jason Cameron is major events co-ordinator for Rotorua Lakes Council
1:35 Bird Watching in North Korea
Not many people get to North Korea, and if they do manage to get in, they don't always get out.
But a team of avid birdwatchers and conservationists from Pokeno in the Firth of Thames has been going to North Korea every year for the past three years to count and watch birds.
The yellow sea area marks the stop off point for millions of migrating birds heading from the Southern Hemisphere to the arctic.

Life is Plastic - Peter Walker
BODY:
Recently retired plastic surgeon Mr Peter Walker reflects on his career, which included pioneering work as New Zealand's first (and currently only) surgeon to perform male to female gender reassignment surgery.
EXTENDED BODY:
Plastic surgeon Peter Walker is the only doctor who has ever performed gender reassignment surgery in New Zealand.
Peter Walker recently retired - he looks back at his career and experience with trans people.
Interview highlights
Dr Peter Walker: We were doing about three [sex changes] a year from 1992. New Zealand, as we may not all appreciate, is actually quite advanced and broadminded because the patients – after they’d had their operation – were able to go to the Department of Internal Affairs (quite aptly named) and apply to have their gender changed on not only their drivers license and their passport, but even their birth certificate.
If a patient comes to me – they’re 6’4” and bald with huge hands – it’s difficult for me to convert them into a woman.
These patients that came to me looked like a male, they had male genes, they had male anatomy, they had male hormones, but their brains were female.
Without doubt when I spoke to these patients and our psychiatrists helped make the diagnosis, we found that these patients really knew that they were different from other children right from the age of four, five, six years old.
If these patients weren’t accepted by their parents as being a girl, often they tried to prove that they were actually macho men. So they would have grunty V8s and Harley Davidsons, they would have tattoos, they would join the army and become SAS commanders and do everything they could to prove to anyone that they were male.
The ratios are 1 in 37,000 males want to become female and 1 in 150,000 females want to become male.
You need to have a big population in order to sustain a female-to-male clinic. And because New Zealand’s population is so small the number of patients wanting to go in that direction is insufficient to maintain the expertise that is necessary. The New Zealand government is very good in that they will pay for one patient every three years to undergo female to male change.
There are 61 people on the waiting list [in New Zealand]. If you do the sums – given the New Zealand population is 4.5 million – it means that there are perhaps 1,300 patients aged between 0 and 100 out there – far more than are on the waiting list.
We can make all the features that a female has out of the male genitalia – except of course a uterus. But I guess in the future somebody is going to catch one of the many hysterectomies that are done and implant that uterus into a male patient.
One day a male will give birth to a child conceived in a womb that they have had transplanted. That’s all in the future, but it will happen.
