09:05 Mandatory record-keeping: Should we be concerned about privacy?

From next Tuesday everyone over the age of 12 will be required to keep a record of every "busy place or event" they've been to. The move is to combat low levels of scanning or signing in outside of a Covid outbreak and help assist with contact tracing. But with the big increase in information about to be gathered - what are the privacy protections in place? That's something of concern to Dr Andrew Chen, a Research Fellow at Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures, at The University of Auckland. He's written an open letter to Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins asking for legislation to clarify that data collected for contact tracing purposes will ONLY be used for contact tracing purposes.

09:20  Good food from the goodness of his heart

A Manawatu chef is serving restaurant quality meals to front line workers and people in need in the community - all out of his own pocket.  Grant Kitchen, who runs the kitchen at the Apiti Tavern, north of Feilding, is sending out the likes of smoked beef brisket, or signature-dish smoked pork belly with apple jus followed by apricot custard cake, creme Anglaise, or chocolate soil. He's sending the meals out at a rate of a hundred a day, and supporters have gifted over $4,000 so far to help him. Kathryn speaks with Grant Kitchen, and Jon James, the owner of the Apiti Tavern.

Concerns over Kim Jong Un's nuclear programme have re-emerged all with a report from the UN's atomic energy watchdog suggesting North Korea's plutonium production could be ramping up. And in China, government reforms are targeting the wealth of the country's richest and most famous tech tycoons. Billionaires like Jack Ma are trying to quickly give as much as they can to charitable causes as a way to appease the government.

Shehnaz Hussain's beautiful photos of her culinary skills on Instagram sparked requests for recipes - which has now led to a book called Tang, Spice, Crunch. She'd always had a passion for food, but a bit of lockdown boredom really stirred things up and got her breaking down what she was cooking into recipe form. Proceeds from the book will go to an orphanage in Chennai, India, that her family has had a long association with. Food is just one passion in Shehnaz's life - she's in her final year of medical school with an interest in sports medicine. She's also a powerlifter and has represented New Zealand three times. She's shared her favourite Sundal recipe from the book, and one for a chilli and orange-infused dark chocolate tart.
