(FUNKY MUSIC) www.able.co.nz Copyright Able 2023 - Kia ora, welcome to In Case you Missed It. Ko Tane toku ingoa. Time to tahuna te ahi with a look at what's been happening here in Aotearoa and overseas. In Hawaii, sad news as work continues to find and identify people killed in the deadly wildfire. So far, over 100 people are known to have died in the fires which ripped through Maui. Now people are trying to figure out what sparked the fire with one possibility of power lines which came down in high winds. A Maui resident got a video of a power line coming down shortly after dawn. - They were just arcing away on the ground. Landed right in dry grass. so sparks, and then there was a fire. - Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those whanau affected. Four Australian tourists who went missing off the coast of Indonesia have been found alive. The tourists were on a surf trip to celebrate a birthday in Indonesia. The friends were on boats 150km off Sumatra Island on Sunday afternoon, when they were hit by bad weather and heavy rain. The four friends endured the storm and spent 36 hours floating at sea on surfboards off the coast before rescuers found them on Tuesday. That is one gnarly trip. And it's also been an intense week of semi-finals games in the FIFA Women's World Cup. Spain took on Sweden, and England played Australia. Spain beat Sweden 2-1, and Australia had a devastating 3-1 loss on home soil to England. The Matildas, though, still have a chance of being in the top three if they can beat Sweden in tomorrow's third place playoff. Sunday night will see England and Spain go head to head to see who will be crowned the world champions, which would be a first for either side. Now, Spain and England are both very strong teams, but my pick, England takes it out. Engineering students at the University of Canterbury have developed a new robo-kiwi to help discourage dogs from attacking and killing the flightless birds in the wild. The students analyse kiwi behaviour and movement so their model is as realistic as possible. The robotic kiwi will be used to train dogs to avoid kiwi being attacked. This comes after 31 kiwi are known to have died in Northland alone over the last six months, with 24 of them mauled by dogs. Now, at the end of the day, it's dog owners who are responsible for letting them off the leash in a protected area. (INTENSE MUSIC) In 2008, sculling twins Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell defended their title, winning an unexpected gold at the Beijing Olympics. Aotearoa won another four medals that day, which was soon dubbed Super Saturday. Collected in the space of just four hours, the triumphant haul included two golds, one silver and two bronze. - Not only did we win gold... - ...but we became the first ever double sculls team to win twice. - (SIGHS) Awesome. We're celebrating 50 years of hip-hop this week. This genre of music has not only produced some of the most talented musicians in the world, but hip hop has had a global influence on protest, resistance and political statements. Closer to home, here is a legendary group of people who did just that. (UPBEAT MUSIC) On the 16th of June 1971, a group of young Polynesians came together to protest against the racial inequality experienced by indigenous Maori and Pacific Islanders in Auckland. They called themselves the Polynesian Panther Party. The Polynesian Panthers had seen their people treated badly by the New Zealand authorities who were cracking down on what they called illegal immigrants, or overstayers. Many Pacific Islanders were invited over to Aotearoa in the 1950s and '60s when New Zealand was experiencing an industrial boom and found itself short on workers. But after 1973, the New Zealand economy declined, and jobs dried up. New Zealand politicians and the media began to blame Pacific Islanders for overloading social services. Polynesians, including Maori, were being randomly stopped and harassed for their passports, falsely arrested for minor incidents and regularly abused in public. This included the Dawn Raids era, where many Polynesian homes were raided by police at early hours of the morning, where anyone without documentation was arrested and deported back to the islands. Enter the Polynesian Panther Party. The Panthers protested the treatment of their people by organising marches and rallies and visiting schools. They campaigned for Pasifika to access quality education, health, housing and provided legal support to families targeted by the police. It took years, but people started to listen, and, gradually, attitudes changed, and the government backed down on its anti-Pasifika policies. Today, the spirit of the Panthers lives on, with many of its members still involved in important activism and protest. Kia ora. To end today, have you ever wondered what's under the footpath? Well, in India, residents noticed cracks in a footpath and strange noises. It turned out three crocodiles had started breaking their way through the concrete. The crocodiles were removed by specialist handlers. Yep. I would definitely leave that one to the specialists. Well, that's me for this week. Thank you so much for joining us. We will be back next Friday. Enjoy your weekend. Hei kona.
