1:10 First song

Rapper, Tom Francis

1:10 Hawkes Bay Rapper hits big time

He's only been rapping for a year, and he's already topping the iTune's charts. Hawke's Bay musician, Tom Francis, hadn't even played an instrument a year ago. Now he's knocking global superstar Drake off the number one spot, and it all came from a chance recording session in Hollywood.

His debut album Underestimated launched several weeks ago under the label Black Market Enterprises.

1:15 Kaitangata Goes Global

The eyes of the world have been on the small Otago town of Kaitangata. The Clutha Mayor has been inundated with thousands of overseas enquiries, coming in to bid for the land-and-house deal on offer. Major news outlets throughout the world have reported on the offer. And they haven't always got the facts right. The sale of further sections has been put on hold, and a meeting was held yesterday, to establish clearer criteria around the sales.

The Kaitangata Promotions public relations facilitator, Evan Dick tells Jesse about the town's stratospheric popularity boom.

1:20 Juno reaches Jupiter

NASA's Juno spacecraft has arrived at Jupiter to study the solar system's largest planet. From a unique polar orbit, Juno will repeatedly dive between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation.

Juno's primary goal is to improve our understanding of Jupiter's formation and evolution. The spacecraft will investigate the planet's origins, interior structure, deep atmosphere and magnetosphere.

2:20 Great New Zealand Album: Words by Sharon O'Neill

Sharon O'Neill

In the 1980's she was one of our most visible entertainers.  There was much speculation, in the press, about just how much money was paid by CBS to sign her to their label, and how much legendary American producers Jay Lewis and John Boylan had been paid to make her albums.   Photo: Supplied

This pint sized former Nelsonian had fronted bands in both Christchurch and Wellington before gaining Television exposure on "The Entertainers."  She sang her own composition on this early TV talent show, and although she finished third in the contest, she had won the hearts of many New Zealanders.

Indeed, in the early 80's it was impossible to pick up a music magazine, or a woman's publication with reading about or seeing a photo of Sharon O'Neill

3:10 Are we Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals are?

Animal intelligence has been underestimated for centuries according to world renowned biologist Frans de Waal.  He challenges our assumptions about what animals are capable and wonders if we are just not clever enough to understand animals in his new book, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
