The main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been cleared of separate rape charges. 47-year-old Christian Brückner was acquitted of five offences of sexual abuse in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. German investigators identified Brückner in 2020 as a suspect in the disappearance of McCann from Portugal in 2007. But UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the judge found the witnesses weren't reliable enough to convict him of the rape charge. He said there’s crossover in some of the

The marine life around Samoa is likely in danger in the wake of Manawanui sinking. The $100 million naval ship struck a reef off the south coast of Upolu on Saturday, before sinking Sunday morning. About 950 tonnes of oil is onboard. Diesel leaked out of the vessel when it capsized and has coated the surface of the water. Waikato University ecology expert Nick Ling told Ryan Bridge much of the material released would have evaporated, leaving behind these heavier components we can see. He says

Health New Zealand's pointed to nursing recruitment to explain its ballooning deficit, but health experts aren't buying it. Newly released documents show the agency went from expecting a half a billion dollar surplus to a $1.4 billion deficit in April. That's now expected to blow out to $1.76 billion. Patient Voice Aotearoa chair Malcolm Mulholland told Ryan Bridge there's no way we have too many nurses in New Zealand. He says everywhere he goes in the community, people are saying we need more

Ryan Bridge: Have we lost our Kiwi sense of humour?

Complaints, backlash, outrage, divisive, sad, there's been strong reaction to the Tui billboards poking fun at old Polkinghorne – who’s not guilty of killing his wife, by the way. The billboards read, if you haven't seen them: "Back to being a respectable meth smoking, sex worker loving doctor then. Yeah right.” It's quite good. It's not breaking any rules, and I say good on them for getting back to this. We need good humour to cut through the crap that seems to proliferate our society at the

A media commentator says TVNZ appears to be doubling down on what it's good at. The state broadcaster's latest business proposal will see its website shut down in February while more investment will be put towards news on its streaming platform TVNZ+. The company is hoping to save $30 million. Spinoff founder Duncan Grieve told Ryan Bridge it could work, but it’s not guaranteed by any means.

It's a tale of two islands when it comes to the economy. The Westpac Regional Roundup shows many businesses and households are suffering from the slow economy. Westpac Senior Economist Satish Ranchhod says feedback from the North Island was more downbeat, with Wellington being the worst off because of a shrinking public service. He says there was a rosier picture in the South Island. Ranchhod told Ryan Bridge they’ve got a mix of tourism and agriculture among other industries helping to support

Inflation is still the dominant force in global politics, no doubt about it. We've got the United States election next month, the Aussies are going to the polls by midway through next year, so are the Canadians, we just had the UK, we've just had France, and inflation rules the roost. Bad news for ol' Albanese in Australia. There's a new poll out this morning that has him neck and neck with Dutton and the coalition.

Why? It's the question we all want answered this morning. But what we'll get is a bunch of speculation. The first most important question has been answered. Is the crew safe?Yes. Thankfully. And by the sounds of it, it's thanks in large part to help from others, the decision to abandon ship and a dose of good luck. Some of the crew spent five hours in life rafts battling the conditions to make it to shore. One capsized before getting there. But we have so many questions. How come? We've just lost

There's several possible reasons behind a rise in the number of homes empty on Census night. The latest data shows just more than 110 thousand homes were empty, up from just under 100 thousand in 2018. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says part of that could be due to Cyclone Gabrielle flood levels, and high levels of construction. He told Ryan Bridge that some of the biggest areas with the largest increase in “ghost homes” were Auckland, Gisborne, and Hawke’s Bay. LISTEN ABOVESee
