New Zealander on front line of refugee crisis in Greece
BODY:
As Europe fails to reach an agreement over how to share the burden of the massive flow of asylum seekers out of Syria and Iraq, we meet Christchurch woman Anne Tee, who has lived on the tiny Greek island of Leros for 25 years. Leros has been inundated by refugees, mostly from Syria, and Anne is co-ordinating volunteer aid to them. Just yesterday a boat from Turkey sank off the nearby island of Farmakonisi. The BBC is reporting that 34 people drowned, amongst them four babies and 11 children.
EXTENDED BODY:
A New Zealander on the tiny Greek island of Leros is witnessing the suffering of refugees first-hand.
Christchurch woman Anne Tee, who has lived on Leros for 25 years, has been co-ordinating volunteer aid as hundreds of people come ashore - mostly from Syria.
She told Nine to Noon the number of refugees arriving had risen dramatically since March.
"There were fewer numbers so - 80 people coming through, or 100, or something like that a day. It just grew and grew and grew and now, when there are hundreds and hundreds of people here.
"Really, we need as much help as we can get."
Earlier this week, a boat from Turkey sank off the nearby island of Farmakonisi. The BBC has reported that at least 35 people drowned, amongst them four babies and 11 children.
Ms Tee was on the shore when the survivors - about 95 people - were brought to Leros.
"We were here when these people arrived - all of these bereaved people who had lost their children, their mothers, their fathers. It was just horrendous...
"The first family that I was in contact with was a mum and a father from Syria and they had a little six-year-old daughter with them and they'd lost two sons - the nine-month-old baby and a nine-year-old boy. And just inconsolable, of course."
Ms Tee said there was a UN representative on the island and Doctors Without Borders had set up a tent site with camp beds and a couple of toilets.
Apart from that, she said, it was largely up to volunteers to look after the new arrivals, some of whom had been sleeping on cardboard in the local port police yard.
"There's not much room, and they pack as many as they can into the boats. Mostly, the traffickers throw their bags overboard. So even if a family with a baby for example have packed stuff for their child, by the time they get here, they usually don't have anything.
"They need nappies, they need milk, they need clothes, they need everything, basically."
Ms Tee said it was unacceptable that refugees fleeing horrible conditions were forced to go through these kinds of experiences to reach safety.
She said for many people further dangerous journeys would follow as they made their way from Leros to Athens to wherever they hoped to settle in Europe.
"It's a horrible journey for them. Even if they get this far, it's only the beginning."

East Antarctica ice sheet melting faster
BODY:
There's new evidence the seas around East Antarctica are warming faster than previously thought - which could lead to much higher sea level rises.
EXTENDED BODY:
The seas around east Antarctica are warming faster than previously predicted, which could lead to much higher rises in sea level.
The antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth, covering nearly 14 million square kilometres and containing 30 million cubic kilometers of ice.
Ocean and climate researcher, Dr Steve Rintoul of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation recently travelled to the previously inaccessible Totten Glacier in East Antarctica. The team found evidence that warmer waters were in fact reaching the glacier, which they weren't expecting.

Mountaineering widow Jan Arnold on the film Everest
BODY:
For Jan Arnold, watching the last days of her husband's Rob Hall's life portrayed in the film Everest brought back feelings of loss and helplessness.
EXTENDED BODY:
Dr Jan Arnold's husband, New Zealand mountaineer Rob Hall, died on Mt Everest in 1996 in a brutal storm which claimed the lives of eight climbers.
Dr Arnold, pregnant with their daughter Sarah at the time, spoke to her husband via satellite phone from her home in Christchurch just before his death on the world's highest mountain. "Goodnight sweetheart, please don't worry too much," he told her.
Dr Arnold attended the Venice and Los Angeles premieres of Everest and tomorrow the film is released in New Zealand. She told Nine to Noon's Kathryn Ryan that seeing the dramatisation of her own story and her husband's death was extremely difficult.
"It does trigger those feelings and that loss, and the helplessness that I did feel over that time … it is hard to watch that, knowing that he's going to die up on the south summit of Everest, the highest person alive on land."
Dr Arnold said she understood the dangers her husband faced, as someone who had herself climbed Mt Everest and worked as expedition doctor for years.
"When you marry an 8000-metre mountaineer, you hope that you would grow old with them, but I certainly had that knowledge along the way that it just might not happen.
"So I understood the risks, and I did understand that nothing was guaranteed.
"It just made life all the richer and more colourful to know we just were living right in it. So when he was dying, and talking to him, I didn't fight that, I just kind of knew I had to let him go."
"I think having already entertained the possibility that someone might die does make it an easier transition.
"Also I could picture exactly where he was, having climbed it, that little depression just below the south summit. I could imagine him there, and I could imagine him looking out over Nepal, and thinking gosh, he's the highest person alive on the planet right now, and I'm talking to him from Christchurch from my house. It felt really quite extraordinary".
Dr Arnold said her own feelings have taken second place; she wanted to be sure her daughter Sarah would be able to handle what she saw in the film.
"I think the fact that she now is 19, it really does help that she's got that maturity. I know that she wants to stand up and say 'this is my father'."
Dr Arnold, portrayed by Keira Knightly, said the film was largely accurate, but did not tell enough of the bravery and hard work of the sherpas.
"While I feel really overwhelmingly happy with how they've managed to tell it, for me there is missing the story of the sherpas, who supported our expedition, were the very foundation of that, at base camp and up the mountain.
"Rob was very strong about that, so I would have liked that to be told and brought forward."
Jason Clarke plays Rob Hall, and Jake Gyllenhaal is fellow guide Scott Fisher in the film, produced by New Zealand-born English producer Tim Bevan of Working Title.

Music of Toni Braxton with Marty Duda
BODY:

Toni Braxton's self-titled debut album was released in 1993 and became one of the biggest sellers of the decade thanks to hits like 'Another Sad Love Song' and 'Breathe Again'. Her second album - 1996's Secrets - cemented her reputation as a premiere '90s diva, producing 'Un-Break My Heart', one of the longest-running number one pop hits on the Billboard singles charts. Braxton's career has had its ups and down since then, including filing for bankruptcy twice. Her latest release, 2014's Love, Marriage & Divorce, finds her reunited with Babyface, duetting with the acclaimed producer/composer on all 11 tracks. Toni Braxton is due to perform in Auckland for the first time at the Logan Campbell Centre on Thursday 17 September.

"My teacher is six months old" - Babies tackle bullying
BODY:
Ever wondered how a baby and a large green blanket might help combat child abuse? Babies are now the teachers. They're being brought into classrooms to break the intergenerational cycles of domestic violence and child abuse in a simple but genius way. Lynda Chanwai-Earle attends a Roots of Empathy session at Thorndon Primary School in Wellington and meets Canadian founder Mary Gordon, the international guest speaker visiting schools across our country - to learn just how babies are changing the world, child by child.
EXTENDED BODY:
It might take a baby and a big green blanket to change the world, child by child...
Babies are now the teachers. They’re being brought into classrooms to break the intergenerational cycles of domestic violence and child abuse in a simple but genius way.
By Lynda Chanwai-Earle
Quietly sitting on a large green blanket and the centre of attention, a baby and her mother are surrounded by a class of Year 5 and 6 students at Thorndon Primary School, Wellington.
Attending once a month throughout a school year, this baby is helping to combat child abuse and bullying. Today, as with every session, tiny 6 month old Nisha is the teacher. Nisha’s lesson is about empathy. Next to her sits a facilitator, asking the children questions.
Nisha is a little itty-bitty star because she is also teaching the children about neuroscience, temperament, attachment, emotional literacy, authentic communication, and social inclusion.
Roots of Empathy is a programme that sees parents and their babies coming into classrooms to teach students about attachment and caring, helping the students to reflect on their own emotions and the emotions of others.
Practised in schools around New Zealand for the last 10 years, Roots of Empathy is proving highly successful because arguably the most important educational development children may need in their lives is emotional literacy.
"The common denominator in violence is the absence of empathy" – Mary Gordon, Founder of Roots of Empathy
Answering questions after the session is visiting founder of the Roots of Empathy programme Mary Gordon. There are 27 sessions with 9 themes covered, revolving around 3 classroom visits each month led by a trained and certified instructor. Themes cover aspects of the baby’s growth and milestones and the baby's relationship with its parent.
Away from the classroom I have the unique opportunity to learn more from this educator, international speaker and award-winning social entrepreneur. I want to know what shaped Mary’s drive to work with the most “disenfranchised or reviled” in life and what inspired the Roots of Empathy programme.
Mary Gordon grew up in Newfoundland on the East Coast of Canada within a large and loving Irish family passionate about social justice. Mary and all of her siblings were bought up with a keen sense of compassion. Regularly encouraged to appreciate what they had, their father would tell them to donate pocket money earned to the poor in India or the less fortunate, and not to judge.
Mary almost cringes as she recalls being about nine years of age when her mother took her on one of her regular rounds to donate coal and food to the poverty-stricken families that lived in their community.
In a house with a dirt floor was a widowed woman and her many children. When the woman offered Mary a cup of tea in a chipped and filthy mug Mary almost turned her nose up, much to the stern chagrin of her mother. These early lessons in empathy stuck.
Mary was a teacher based in Toronto in the 1970s. She had previously worked with people imprisoned and she wanted to make education equitable for families living in poverty. She wanted to break the cycle of illiteracy, domestic violence and teen pregnancy so in 1981 she started her first social innovation in education.
Mary began parenting and family literary centres – community by community. These centres served vulnerable families, new migrant or refugee families and solo parents. She brought them together to meet their neighbours and to provide safe places for education to the most disenfranchised.
Mary also wanted to work with parents who were former abusers of their children – through neglect, sexual abuse and physical abuse. She recognised that these people were starving for solicitude.
"It’s such a shame that we vilify the villain. They need acceptance as human beings. They need hugs, not more hurt"
"The absence of empathy underscores violence. Most of all these people need to develop empathy, but they must be treated with empathy in order to develop empathy. Therapy doesn’t always fix everything but the (abusers) need to ‘catch’ empathy. They need to be in circumstances being surrounded by empathy."
Mary also wanted to help the children and the youth from these vulnerable families. The children were acting out what they had learned at home and repeating the violence at school, they were becoming bullies. It was here that Roots of Empathy was first seeded.
Roots of Empathy was officially launched in 1996. Mary started with kindergartens and now Roots of Empathy is taught to 5 to 13 year olds in primary schools in 10 countries and practiced on 3 continents. It’s reached over 500,000 children around the globe.
"'Roots of Empathy' falls in different languages all around the green blanket, but the essence is the same wherever we go. I think the landscape of childhood is different. Everywhere it has changed but the emotional needs of children are ever thus and have not changed. It’s just harder to be a child now."
Principal of Thorndon Primary School Alistair du Chatenier regards the Roots of Empathy programme as a great fit with the school’s philosophy. The programme has seen 7 babies with their parents visit the school over the last 10 years. Alistair tells me that he still has pupils reflecting on positive things they have learned, several years after their Roots of Empathy sessions.
Mary Gordon tells me that you know when you are in the presence of love, and so do the children. "When asked which was their favourite moment during a session, the children who are having a hard time at home say; 'We loved when the mummy kissed the baby or daddy sang to the baby.' They ache for that love."
Why babies?
“Babies in their vulnerability are exquisitely attractive to children. We use the baby to reflect back to the children, their own emotions. And then they can learn to read other emotional cues, and then they will learn emotional literacy. We work with the attachment relationship. The Roots of Empathy family demonstrates the attachment relation in the first year of life. The first year is the most dangerous for a baby and the most majestic.”
"We want to give every child every opportunity to know what love looks like."
Rosalie Hill, the Facilitator for the session has also been a Roots of Empathy parent with her own baby and is a current teacher at the school. She explains that the hands on experience for the children in the Roots of Empathy sessions can’t be learned in a pamphlet or book. The trusting relationship built over time between the children and the visiting baby is crucial to them learning empathy.
And what poignant feedback did the Year 5 and 6 students of Thorndon Primary School have to share?
“I think she was pretty cool with coping with everyone here.”
“When you actually get to watch the baby you can see new milestones and see what they can do that’s new.”
“My name is Sam and I think Roots of Empathy should go to other schools because maybe they will have a baby one day and maybe they will get angry with it and maybe shake it and we say never shake a baby because it could damage the brain a little bit. I think I want Roots of Empathy to go to other schools and so other people can understand how babies react when they cry and things like that - and be nice to it.”
For Nisha, her lessons in empathy are her gifts. For Mary Gordon, Nisha is our ambassador for change.
"The leaders of tomorrow must have empathy. Children aren't just part of tomorrow, they're 100% of tomorrow and they'll be deciding what social justice looks like."
