There’s concern about the number of people living in dirty and unsafe conditions. 

The Public Health Communication Centre has surveyed local and regional councils and Aged Concern networks, and every single one reported cases of people living in squalor. 

It included homes cluttered in rubbish, infested by vermin, with decomposing food, and stench.

Research lead Johnathan Jarman says living in such clutter creates a variety of risks. 

He says it creates tripping risks, delayed wound healing, and a fire risk.

Dr Johnathan Jarman: Public Health Communication Centre Research Lead on the number of people living in dirty and unsafe conditions

There aren’t many people who are known around the world by just one name... but Cheryl Sarkisian is one them, known as Cher. 

The goddess of pop has sold over 100 million records across seven decades, is in the rock and roll hall of fame, has Grammy’s, Emmy’s and even an Academy Award. 

Cher is also the only artist to have a number one single on the Billboard chart in seven consecutive decades. 

With such an incredible career, and many stories to tell, Cher has released a memoir. 

Cher: The Memoir Part One is based on her life from 1946-1976 and follows her childhood, early success and meeting Bono. 

Cher joins Tim Beveridge on Newstalk ZB’s Summer Breakfast and says “I’m a good singer, but I’m not a great singer, but I have something in my voice that people connect with.” 

The memoir was split into parts because “my life is so long and there was no way we could put it all in one volume.” 

The legend says she’s not much of a planner and prefers to take things as they come at her. Despite continuous rumours of reinvention, she clarifies that really she’s just quietly waiting on the next job to appear. 

“People think that you’ve been away, busy, reinventing yourself. But then you come back as who you were.”

Cher: Goddess of pop on fitting her life into a memoir and rumours of reinvention

Today marks 20 years since the massive Boxing day tsunami which caused widespread destruction, displacement and death in countries on the Indian Ocean rim. 

A 9.0 earthquake struck off the West Coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Boxing Day 2004. It triggers a series of tsunamis that charged across the Indian Ocean and killed around 230,000 people. 

Former World Vision Staffer Alex Snary was working at the time the tsunami hit and tells Tim Beveridge he has vivid memories of his arrival to the island and the “smell of decaying bodies.” 

“It wasn’t until you really got boots on the ground that I really began to understand the extent of the devastation. When in whole villages... there’s just nothing above knee-high or waist height left.” 

In the 20 years since, World Vision have stepped up their ability to respond to disasters of the scale of the 2004 tsunami.  

“When I first joined World Vision, there was kind of the ability to respond to one place in the world. When I left, we could respond to four or five if needed.” 

On how  the events of that day and all that followed changed the way he feels about the work he does, Snary says seeing the difference of an area when he left compared to its state upon his arrival reinforced just how important the work is.

Former New Zealand Rugby Chairman Brent Impey is taking part in rugby initiative Kiwi K.A.R.E to help support rugby players in Ukraine who have been affected by war. 

Impey has been working alongside Sir Graham Henry and other volunteers to help Ukrainian rugby teams continue to train and upskill their players. 

Trustee of Kiwi Aid and Refugee Evacuation, Impey tells Tim Beveridge he visited players in Ukraine and found they are still playing rugby throughout the Russian invasion. 

The Ukrainian team is hoping to qualify for the Olympics, and Impey is working with groups of 20 men and 20 women to build the national team amongst the region’s turmoil. 

“It is absolutely inspirational.”
