1:15 Bacterial baggage 

We're pretty well aware of the negative influence humans have had on plants and animals around the world, and the footprint our modern living leaves. 

But what affect are we having on bacteria? New research out of Australia has looked at the impact we're having on the tiny organisms in our world and it's made some unsettling discoveries.

Professor Michael Gillings tells us about how we could be damaging the ecosystems of trillions of germs through as we move them around the globe.

1:25  What "The Block" says about the Auckland property market

The TV show 'The Block' had its final last night and many people aren't happy at the result. The winners got a second chance at auction after a very slow round of bidding.

The profits were far lower than previous years, raising questions about what this means for our housing market and whether the reality series can continue. Ashley Church from the Property Institute gives us his thoughts on the final auction.

2:20 Black Sheep

On October 3, 1938 the city of Napier was in an uproar. That night, a 51 year old woman in the upmarket suburb of Westshore had been gunned down in her front doorway after she opened the door to a stranger.

The funeral for the woman drew a big crowd. It followed the hearse through the street and covered her coffin in flowers, but when the man who shot this woman was sentenced the judge all but said the victim had brought her death on herself.

That’s because Chief Justice Sir Michael Myers knew this woman very well - she was Annie Aves, the famous abortionist who had been tried four times for “using an instrument with intent to procure a miscarriage”.
