Imprisoned in Poland
A year ago a Kiwi working in Katowice, Poland, was arrested and put in jail after the collapse of an exhibition hall owned by the company he worked for. The snow-laden roof's collapse, which killed 65 people, led to Bruce Robinson and others from his company being incarcerated. As yet there hasn't been a trial and Bruce has remained in a Polish prison. While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade have visited him and ensured he has medical care, phone calls and visits, his parents Dave and Carol are worried about him and say the situation for father of three Bruce is untenable. Mark Sainsbury talks to Dave and Carol Robinson in the studio, and Rawdon Christie outlines the history of Bruce's situation.

Friends of Bruce Robinson have set up a petition to try to free Bruce which can be reached by clicking HERE

Karaka Crackers
Sunline and Ethereal - two of the greatest racing mares New Zealand has known. Now their progeny is up for grabs at the Karaka Yearling Sales next week and both are expected to go for top dollar. Michael Holland has a look at two colts hoping to live up to their mothers' names.

Kids on Adrenalin
Today's children are renowned for being over-protected by parents - cotton-wool kids. But a new breed of adventure playground is challenging them to break out of their comfort zone and put their mental and physical stamina to the test.
John Sellwood tries out Adrenaline Park in Christchurch and finds a group of kids happy to be scared out of their wits. For more information on the Adrenalin Park click here or call 0800 TOGO APE

Cricket Star Quits
It was a glittering career that came to a sudden end today. Nathan Astle, a cricketer with 223 one dayers and 81 tests under his belt, pulled the pin today. He was the man we could always count on, a man who's been a fixture in the Black Caps since 1995. Nathan Astle holds the world record for the fastest double century in test cricket. We take a look at Astle's greatest hits.
