2:20 The Rickshaw Run - Sacha Moreland - A New Zealand woman is gearing up for the trip of a lifetime.
Sacha Moreland and a couple of friends will travel from Jaisalmer - near the Indian-Pakistani border - to Cochin in the south of India - in a three-wheeled rickshaw, more commonly known as a tuk tuk.
That's twice the length of New Zealand, in a vehicle which has an engine similar to a lawnmower's - and they have to do it in 14 days. And, no, none of them have any mechanical skills - but it's for a good cause, called the Rickshaw Run, the event raises money for Indian charities.

3:10 Feature Author - Noble Smith - There are many famous role models in literature: atticus fitch from To Kill a Mocking Bird, Joe Gargery in Great Expectations.  Bilbo Baggins is not a role model  that usually comes to mind. But  playwright and Tolkien scholar Noble Smith believes everything you need to know about how to live a good life can be learned from Hobbits. Cherish good food, a warm bed a good night's sleep,and trusted friends. Greed is toxic and simple pleasures like a walk and a garden are the source of happiness. Smith also says there are many secrets to be gleaned from The Hobbit that are easily overlooked.We have a link to his website on our website and Facebook page.  He's written a book that's just come out in paperback called  The Wisdom of the Shire: A Short Guide to a Long and Happy Life.

Alison Ballance heads to the Zealandia sanctuary to find out how these rare birds are enjoying city living.
