EXTENDED BODY:
In the remote north west corner of the South Island,a long-forgotten gold miners' road is drawing thousands of visitors.
The Old Ghost Road, a new back country biking and tramping track, is an 85km trail through the rugged and dramatic Mokihinui-Lyell back-country which took nearly eight years to complete and was officially opened in December.
The trail, which typically takes cyclists two to four days to complete, is New Zealand's longest continuous track.
Gold miners had attempted to complete the trail, but failed due to the formidable terrain.
Seddonville lodge owner Marion Boatwright was given an old survey map dating back to 1886 which outlined the trail and became passionate about rediscovering it.
He got other locals involved and the Mokihinui-Lyell Backcountry Trust was established.
Kathryn Ryan speaks with Marion and Chairman of the Mokihinui-Lyell Backcountry Trust Phil Rossiter.

Uptalk? The rising intonation that makes statements sound like questions?
BODY:
Associate Professor Paul Warren of the School of Linguistics at Victoria University has written a book about its use and history. Uptalk has been published by Cambridge University Press, which describes it as the first comprehensive analysis of this type of speech phenomenon
EXTENDED BODY:
Parodied by actors, chastised by foreigners, and celebrated by Kiwis; a new book is helping explain the phenomenon that is "uptalk", the rising intonation which makes statements sounds like questions.
Associate Professor Paul Warren of the School of Linguistics at Victoria University has written Uptalk, which is being described as the first comprehensive analysis of the speech phenomenon.
Prof Warren told Nine to Noon uptalk was common in New Zealand and Australia, but also a number of other English speaking countries, including Canada and the United States.
He said there was more evidence of the language trait in young women, but it was increasingly being carried on by speakers as they got older, and was also used by men.
While there was little differentiation in the use of uptalk across classes in New Zealand, the situation was different for social stratifications across the ditch.
"The lower working class were using it more than the upper working class, and they were using it more than the middle class - except for the men.
"For the men there was an avoidance by the lower working class - it was almost as though they knew that this was something associated with their group and they wanted to avoid it."
Prof Warren said the purpose of uptalk was seen differently by those using it - the 'in' group - than by those hearing it - the 'out' group.
"The uptalkers, the 'in' group, they're using it largely to keep communication channel open, they're trying to invite the listener into the conversation.
"The 'out' group perceive it differently... they hear it as questioning the validity of what the speaker is saying and so they then interpret that as showing lack of security, lack of confidence in what you're saying and so that they reflects badly on the speaker."
Prof Warren said early studies relating to uptalk traced the speech habit to New Zealand and Australia in the 1960s, but it had also been noted in research in Canada and the United States, and more recently in the UK.
It was difficult to determine if the phenomenon developed in this part of the world and spread, or had developed independently in different countries, he said.
The earliest documentation described the trait as an 'interview tune' during a study in Sydney.

Bringing whitebait back to Christchurch rivers
BODY:
Scientists are using hay bales to try and get whitebait, or inanga, to spawn in Christchurch rivers. Five of the country's 6 whitebait species are in decline, and the Whaka Inaka project aims to try and bring them back to Christchurch's rivers.
EXTENDED BODY:
Scientists are using hay bales to try and get whitebait, or inanga, to spawn in Christchurch rivers.
Before the Canterbury earthquakes the region's rivers were the perfect spawning spot for whitebait, but the February 2011 quake shifted river banks and disrupted river flows and habitats.
Five of the country's six whitebait species are in decline, and the Whaka Inaka project aims to try and bring them back to city's rivers.
Temporary spawning points for inaka, the most common type of whitebait in the city, have been set up using 200 straw bales along 3km stretches of the Heathcote River and Avon rivers.
Canterbury University's Mike Hickford, who is one of the scientists involved in the project, talks to Kathryn Ryan about the project:

Today we travel to one of the smallest towns in Westland - and probably the smallest town in New Zealand to have it's very own contemporary art gallery! Otira traces its history back to the gold rush era when it was a stopping point for stagecoaches traveling between Christchurch and the goldfields of the West Coast. At its peak the town was home to about 700 people in the 1920s - most of them workers building the Otira gorge tunnel and railway which still bridges the Southern Alps today. At the time it was made the 8.5 kilometer tunnel was the longest in the world.

EXTENDED BODY:
Amelia Nurse visits children's author Bianca Begovich - along with her monarchs, children, chickens, and bees - to chat about her passion for teaching kids about the environment.
More about Bianca
Bianca started out studying science – botany in particular. She studied the NZ native Kowhai plant for her Masters degree which took her out into the field from Titirangi in the north to Fiordland in the south. She’s always been interested in the natural world and how nature works, but the tramping she did during university really re-awakened her love for nature.
While she was studying, Bianca worked as a nanny, and went on after University to work for several NGO environmental education organisations. Writing and publishing children's stories about the environment is a natural culmination of two of her passions - children and the environment.
Bianca’s particularly interested in linking environmental education to other areas of the NZ curriculum and her background enables her to find links to make it easier for teachers and educators who might not have a science background to incorporate environmental education into their teaching.
Her writing incorporates us into the stories so that children can gain an understanding of the natural world and more importantly, the role they play in it. Rather than presenting facts and figures as many other stories do, creative non-fiction makes big issues like climate change and sustainability accessible to young readers without being too didactic.

1:15 New Hampshire primary
The votes are being counted in the second round of the US primaries in the key caucuses of New Hampshire. Just like in Iowa last week, New Hampshire is an important victory for both the Democratic and Republican nominees. We cross to RNZ's political editor Jane Patterson
1:18 Air Farming
It's a business craze that's taking off throughout polluted cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai. And British man, Leo De Watts, has jumped in to the air farming industry. He's started a company that bottles fresh air, and it's being sold to punters at a premium price. We speak to Leo while he's out and about in the mountains in California... harvesting air.
1:29 A Historic Bottle
The oldest bottle of New Zealand wine ever to be opened and tasted had it's cork popped at 11.30 this morning. The rare 1903 Landsdowne Claret is thought to be a blend of three grapes and made by William Beetham and his French wife Hermance. We talk to Sommelier Cameron Douglas.

2:20 Surfing - Dr Easkey Britton
We're talking surfing, with Irish champion big wave surfer Dr Easkey Britton. She is also an Adjunct Waikato University researcher and co-founded the #SurfSocialGood hashtag summit and the Fair Surf platform. Easkey co-founded 'Waves of Freedom', which started with Easkey and a french filmmaker going to Iran and teaching men and women in rural Iran how to surf. More recently, she has been working in Papua New Guinea.
2:30 Roadmap - Otira
Today we travel to one of the smallest towns in Westland - and probably the smallest town in New Zealand to have it's very own contemporary art gallery! Otira traces its history back to the gold rush era when it was a stopping point for stagecoaches traveling between Christchurch and the goldfields of the West Coast. At its peak the town was home to about 700 people in the 1920s - most of them workers building the Otira gorge tunnel and railway which still bridges the Southern Alps today. At the time it was made the 8.5 kilometer tunnel was the longest in the world.
3:10 Tech and innovation
Paul Brislen tells us about Apple's Error 51, revisits the question of whether Microsoft is going to force us to update to Windows 10 and questions whether Twitter going to start curating its content.

Scientists explore new technology to wipe out Zika mosquitoes
BODY:
Scientists are exploring new genetic engineering technology that could wipe out disease-carrying mosquitoes.
EXTENDED BODY:
As health authorities in Colombia confirm that the Zika virus can be fatal, scientists are exploring new genetic engineering technology that could wipe out the species of mosquito which carries the virus forever.
The technology, which snips through genes to force a genetic change, could make the mosquito unable to spread disease or drive it to extinction by affecting the way it reproduces.
Speaking to Checkpoint with John Campbell, Kevin Esvelt, a gene drive researcher at MIT, said the technology might be just months away - but whether it was the right thing to do was a question for the people and countries affected.
Of the 3500 species of mosquito, only about 12 spread human diseases - in particular, the Aedes aegypti vector.
“There are two species that spread Zika and dengue and Chikungunya and yellow fever - note that dengue and yellow fever kill roughly 60,000 people between them per year.
“They’re fairly nasty on their own, never mind the new plague of Zika,” he said.
Gene drives of this sort are not quick fixes and can be very expensive, but could be a quicker and more effective solution than a vaccine, which targets the virus rather than the carrier.
The question, however, is whether using genetic engineering to eradicate these species could harm the affected countries’ ecosystems: Aedes aegypti serve as one of many food sources for bats and may also be useful for pollinating flowers.
“Is the ecosystem going to notice? We don’t know. Probably not, but we don’t know for sure,” said Dr Esvelt.
The mosquitos are native to North Africa and Eurasia, but, in much of the world, are invasive, introduced species.
“This means ecologically, they’re very unlikely to be required. They’re probably not doing anything important - in fact, they’re disruptive invaders,” said Dr Esvelt.
“In Hawaii, for example, they’re helping to drive native birds extinct by spreading bird parasites.”
The challenge, therefore, would be to get rid of the mosquito in regions where it is introduced while minimising the damage in North Africa and Eurasia.
In either case, the ecological outcomes were hard to predict exactly, said Dr Esvelt, though British company Oxetic had carried out small-scale trials, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, to locally suppress populations of mosquitos.
The data from those experiments could help them to predict what might happen on a larger scale, Dr Esvelt said.
“You can look at those ecosystems and say, ‘is it different with most of those mosquitos gone?’ If not, then we’re probably fine.”

EXTENDED BODY:
Former M15 intelligence officer Annie Machon, resigned from the UK Security Service to blow the whistle on incompetencies and crimes within the spy agency.
She didn't set out to become a spy, but when a job opportunity with the agency came her way in the post her journalist father persuaded her to apply.
In 1991 she was recruited by MI5 where she was posted to their political and counter-terrorism departments, but resigned in the late 1990s.
Machon has a rare per¬spect¬ive both on the inner work¬ings of gov¬ern¬ments, their intel¬li¬gence agen¬cies and the media.
She also has insight into the need for increased open¬ness and account¬ab¬il-ity in pub¬lic and private sectors.
Machon is also co-Director of Code Red and European Director of LEAP.
Annie, who is speaking at this year's Webstock, talks to Bryan Crump.
