This time last year Arepa found themselves in hot water after the government officials decided that made unsubstantial health claims of cognitive and physical boosting abilities, they are forced to amend these claims and now back launching a new brain drink – Uplift.

Co-Founder of Arepa, Angus Brown told Heather Du Plessis – Allan that this time round he's proud to call the "brain drink” because of the fact him and his team committed a lot of time and effort towards conducting human clinical research and have that peer reviewed and published. 

Brown says that its a really tough market but they're on the journey. 

He says that they are certainly making some strides towards it and are still the one and only drink that anybody could pick up in the supermarketthat's got clinical research behind it.

“Learning this toughness in New Zealand is teaching us about how we can become fitter for entering bigger markets like the US”

The Government will be making an announcement on improving safety on Auckland's public transport network. 

A woman was fatally stabbed on a bus on Wednesday - and 37 year old Aucklander Kael Leona appeared in court today charged with murder.

The ministers of Police and Auckland held talks with AT and Police this afternoon, and Simeon Brown will make an announcement tomorrow. 

Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he has a different role to play. 

Mitchell says he's focusing on reassurance at the moment - and will meet the victim's family if asked.

Mitchell says for the past few weeks he and Brown have been discussing with authorities how to improve transport safety.
