1:15 $1 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund Announced

Five of New Zealand's Councils will have infrastructure projects funded through the Government's $1 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund. The fund was created to provide high growth councils with 10 year interest free loans to develop strategic infrastructure needed for new housing. And Hamilton is a big winner out the plan. Hamilton Mayor Andrew King explains what is means for his city.

1:25 Combating Fussy Eating

Fussy eaters can be a bit of a nightmare, with parents disguising veges just to get them into a child, that will only eat from a menu of two items. But some new research has found babies who feed themselves as soon as they start eating solids, appear to be less fussy eaters later on. Associate Professor Anne-Louise Heath from the Department of Human Nutrition, University of Otago, is one of the study leads.

1:30 Dominion Rd the Musical

It's one of Auckland's most known roads, with its grid-locked traffic, diverse cultures and eateries. And there are some new songs being written about Dominion Road. Dominion Rd the Musical is an original Kiwi production, with characters that showcase the unique cultural diversity of Auckland. Renee Liang is the writer and co-lyricist of the upcoming production.

3:10 The End of Empathy

We're often told to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. Yale University psychologist Paul Bloom doesn't buy it. He says new research points to some of the downsides of acting on empathy. Good intentions can be a poor substitute for real moral reasoning. Bloom makes the argument that ethical judgement based on empathy focus on one person's suffering and  ignores the big picture. His book is called Against Empathy: The Case For Rational Compassion.

3:35 Our Changing World

Migraines are intense headaches that are often accompanied by vision disturbance, nausea and sensitivity to light and noise. The culprit is now thought to be a pain-causing hormone called CGRP which affects the brain, and Debbie Hay, from the University of Auckland, tells Alison Ballance that there are a number of clinical trials underway which are testing drugs that stop the effect of CGRP.
