1:15 Does movie violence influence kids?
Violence in movies and on TV has long been seen as a bad influence on children. To combat that we have warnings and ratings to give parents a heads up when guns or fighting is about to be shown.
That doesn't mean it's curbed the images of violence though and new research out of the US suggests that kids are in fact influenced by what they watch - and it may even change how they play.
We speak to Kelly Dillon, head author of a paper that asks "Are Children Who See Movie Characters Use Guns More Likely to Use Them?"

1:25 Hidden Steroids
A warning today for gym buffs and athletes - there could be steroids hidden in your supplements.
A new study by the University of Otago and researchers in Australia found one in 20 sports supplements they looked at contained anabolic steroids, and many didn't declare it on their labels.
These are sports supplements available over the counter, and a recent report tells us that 95 per cent of elite kiwi athletes use these kind of products.
Research leader Professor Alison Heather from Otago University joins us to discuss the findings.

There is more to life than being happy. But you wouldn't know that with endless studies and international indexes rating our level of happiness.
Writer Emily Esfahani Smith went on her own journey, talking to hundreds of people to find out why we are so obsessed with happiness and what actually gives people real joy.
She shares the lessons she learned in her book The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed Happiness.
She believes there are four pillars of meaning that people base their lives around: belonging, purpose, storytelling, and transcendence. She says some people lean on certain pillars more than others to find meaning in life, and has created a quiz to work out which one is your main pillar
