Hamish Kerr has claimed another title. The Olympic gold medallist has been awarded Sportsman of the Year at the Halberg Awards. The high jumper beat out some tough competition for the title, including two other gold medallists Finn Butcher and Hayden Wilde.

There's a potential new era in European security. The US has got Russia to the table to reach three key agreements, including reinstating ambassadors to each other's countries during high-level talks in Saudi Arabia. Neither Ukraine nor Europe were invited. Senior Russian expert at Britain's Chatham House think tank, Keir Giles told Mike Hosking these are historic moments. He says it's a huge upset to the assumptions under-pinning Euro-Atlantic security and the United States' place in the world

Confidence within the sector has reached its highest level in more than a decade, jumping from a dismal -66% in July last year to 2%. Federated Farmers President Wayne Langford told Mike Hosking while the last few years have been tough for farming families, favourable farming rules have seen things turn around. He says announcements around emissions pricing, freshwater farm plans, and on-farm costs is helping

The Police Association says clarification around protest laws are long overdue. An Independent Police Conduct Authority report makes several recommendations for laws which would protect protestor rights and ensure public safety. One law would let police and local authorities set conditions in advance about how a protest may be carried out. Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that will be helpful for police and protesters alike. He says that would set clear guidelines for

How fascinating is the Daman Kumar case? How would you like to be Chris Penk, the minister in charge of making the call as to whether to deport people? In a way this is a singular example of what the Americans deal with millions of times over. There seems to be no dispute 18-year-old Daman's parents are overstayers. Daman was born here and New Zealand is his home. So does he get deported and do his parents get deported? If you follow the law the answer seems simple - yes they do. It's not Daman's

They call it a once-in-a-generation crisis summit. Keir Starmer will be there. Emmanuel Macron called it. Olaf Scholz is ropeable over the JD Vance comments. The JD Vance comments that has put Europe into meltdown were a very good example of what is good, but also what is bad, about Trump. His suggestion that Europe should really be worried not about Russia or the Chinese, but the pressure from within, is actually quite a good point. All he was saying was for all those freaking out about the move

There's an unclear picture of what New Zealand's losing from people moving overseas. About 70 thousand Kiwis left the country last year. Of those, 38% were people aged 18 to 30. New Zealand had a net migration gain of 27,000 migrants in 2024, just a fraction of the 128,000 gained in 2023. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking while there's clear data on the people arriving, it's not the same story for departures. He says there's no strong evidence of what skills are leaving,

Public Service Commissioner Sir Brian Roche says he's considering the idea of cutting whole departments and bringing others together. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he wants more efficiency in the public sector and is open to departments being scrapped. He says there are many small agencies that lack scale, and they need to be better focused on core business. Luxon also says New Zealand needs to do

We're being told the potential for New Zealand's 'blue economy' to take off will depend on the Resource Management Act. A new Westpac report says the marine economy could grow to $14 billion in 10 years by switching to more sustainable practices. Aquaculture New Zealand Chief Executive Gary Hooper told Mike Hosking aquaculture was recognised for the part it could play, but has yet to flourish due to RMA restrictions.

Education Minister Erica Stanford has said David Seymour overstepped the mark in his role as associate with his crackdown on teacher-only days last year. The Minister said Seymour did not run the announcement past her before making it. Seymour disputes the overstep. "We've got a set of rules which are very clear, and we work very well together, but of course there's always people who try and beat these things up," he said.

More polls are in for the upcoming Australian election. A poll in The Australian says the swing to the coalition would be about 3% if an election was held next weekend. If realised, Peter Dutton would have eight seats, where he needs 16. Australian Correspondent Steve Price says all polls are indicating to a repeat of the Albanese government.
