First up, we mark 25 years since the 9/11 attacks by talking to James Paddon. On the 9th of September 2001 an airliner flew into the 93rd floor of the north tower of the World Trade Center. James was at his desk on the 83rd floor. Read more about his story here. Then, A medical school admission scheme designed to try and increase the number of Maori and Pacifica doctors, could have its days numbered. The ACT party says the scheme is discriminatory and wants to scrap the whole thing, but a group of doctors and academics want the government to release an independent review of the scheme. They say it will hold indisputable evidence of the schemes impact on Maori and Pacifica students. After that we look into the resurgence of padder tennis. Did you play it? Was it better than bullrush? Then finally: there's nothing more powerful than a craft group, when they put their minds to something. In Northland 22 women were given a very unusual assignment of sewing a set of unique doorstops, for the historic Clendon House.
