9:06 Mediawatch

Mediawatch looks at how soccer's suddenly flavour of the month in the sports media - while rugby desperately needs reviving, according to some pundits. But is white really the 'new black'? And does rugby still hold sway in the sporting media? Mediawatch also looks at the reaction to the news of a prominent writer borrowing bits of other authors' books - and claims that one of our major media companies might be going soft on the rich and the powerful.
Produced and presented by Colin Peacock and Jeremy Rose.

11.05 Ideas: Electric Vehicles

Barely a day goes past without a news item on a new electric car being readied for the market. Earlier this week former formula one world champion John Surtees drove an electric car from England to France to mark the 15th anniversary of the opening of the Euro-tunnel. And over the next 18 months General Motors, Nissan Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota all plan to have the first of their fully electric vehicles rolling off the production lines. But this week on Ideas we're going to hear about two less-celebrated types of electric vehicles at opposite ends of the size spectrum. Electric bicycles and the five-decades-old English electric trains on the Johnsonville to Wellington line. And we ask an energy consultant just how environmentally friendly electric cars will really be?
