Barry Soper met with Boris Johnson again - hours after delivering a 'critical' summary of his first meeting with the former Prime Minister. Soper met with Johnson over lunch again earlier today, and Johnson was quick to bring up yesterday's radio recap. "If you're listening at the moment, Boris, you're not a bad bugger. He was pretty good - today's lunch was hosted by General Finance, it was around a table and it really was just a yarn." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

President-elect Donald Trump - and his legal team - are using Joe Biden's recent pardoning of his son Hunter to argue that Trump’s hush money case should be dismissed. Trump was prosecuted earlier in the year for falsifying business records related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels in 2016. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says Biden's choice has come with political blowback - from both sides of the aisle. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Black Caps bowling coach Jacob Oram is questioning the logic behind the ICC's sanctioning of the New Zealand and England cricket teams for their slow over rate in the opening test in Christchurch. Both teams have been fined 15 percent of their match fee and docked three World Test Championship points, which further dampens the Black Caps' odds of making the final.

Kāinga Ora has copped some backlash for scrapping wool carpets in favour of nylon synthetics in state houses. The agency has released a request for proposal for companies to provide carpet and underlay for its state homes - but claimed nylon was 34 percent cheaper than wool alternatives. Associate Agriculture Minister Mark Patterson has voiced 'disappointment' with this choice. "We're trying to revitalise the sheep industry, the wool industry - we're starting to make some progress on that, but this

The French Government is all but guaranteed to collapse in the coming days after far-right and left-wing parties submitted no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Michel Barnier. If this goes forward, Barnier's coalition will be the first French Government to be forced out by a no-confidence vote since 1962. UK correspondent Enda Brady says France is the second strongest economy in Europe - and stability is needed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
