1:10 Adeaze perform Live!

Back in 2004, the kiwi duo Adeaze topped the charts with their debut album Always and for Real.

The brothers, Nainz and Viiz Tupai took a long hiatus following their second album, starting the kids performing arts programme Saintz Up in South Auckland.

But recently the death of their beloved mother, who was their biggest supporter, inspired them to write music once again and they have recorded a new album dedicated to her, A Mother's Love.

They perform one of those songs live for us in our Auckland studio, with the help of the children's choir Tone6.

1:15 Health education in schools: teaching mental, sexual and physical well-being

Health education has been in the spotlight recently with the controversy over a pamphlet given to high school students about drug use. 

What information and how much is given to young people often comes up when discussing sexual and mental health at school.

Auckland University associate professor Katie Fitzpatrick specialises in health education and is an advocate for arming children with knowledge in these areas.

1:25 Coronation Street to jump forward in New Zealand

Huge news for New Zealand Coronations Street fans - the beloved show will jump ahead 18 months in order to bring it in line with the UK broadcast. 

This will be a welcome change for those sick of having plot points spoiled on social media and people will be able to catch up with the episodes they've missed on TVNZ On Demand...but will anyone be able to catch up in time?

Danielle Moreau, a Corrie fan who had a whole blog dedicated to the show, reacts to the momentous news.
