Tony Blair
Is the clock ticking for British Prime Minister Tony Blair? Fifty backbenchers are said to have signed a letter calling on the Prime Minister to set a clear timetable for his departure. The unwritten threat is that if Blair doesn't do that, there'll be an attempt to topple him at his Party's conference, that's five months away. Meanwhile, Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown continues to act the same role, that of the bridesmaid - a bridesmaid who now definitely wants to be the bride. We background Tony Blair's woes, then we talk to former Labour Shadow Minister, Byran Gould.

Fair Trade
Who says you can't make a dollar by doing the right thing? Right now we're in the middle of Fair Trade Fortnight. It's all about making sure third world farmers get paid a fair price for the crops they produce. It sounds worthy, and it is, but it's also turning into a huge business opportunity for companies with an eye for untapped markets. Sofia Wenborn looks into the business of selling Fair Trade.

Tietjens
He's a high achiever, many would argue New Zealand's most successful coach of modern times. Yet Gordon Tietjens, the father of sevens rugby, has a reputation for being a brutal taskmaster - fanatical about fitness and training. But its a regime that works. Under Tietjens tutelage the New Zealand seven's team has notched up 49 international tournament wins, six world series titles and three consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medals. Now you can read all about the triumphs and the torturous training sessions in a new book called "Titch". John Sellwood caught up with the sevens legend on the eve of the books release.
