I'll tell you what, what happened with that Latam flight yesterday is probably my worst nightmare. Weirdly, this has gotten worse since I've had a child, I think that maybe you're more worried about your own mortality- but every time since I've gotten on a flight, at some point between getting on the flight and the flight starting to take off, before it's fully airborne, I start to think about how mind-bending it is that a piece of metal that heavy can somehow stay in the air. At all, never mind the

Freedom Furniture has posted a $9 million dollar loss, and is relying on Australian owner Greenlit Brands to support them financially.

Over in the US, some proposed new legislation is putting TikTok back in the spotlight. The new bill would force the app's partner company ByteDance to sell TikTok within six months or be banned from US app stores amid spyware concerns. Tech commentator Paul Spain says lots of companies would love to have the power and influence that comes with owning the platform. "Meta probably wouldn't be allowed to buy it because it would put them in a monopoly type of position, but there's others like Microsoft

The Finance Minister says the Government's thinking about what to do about problems in the media sector. In the past few weeks there's been proposals made about Newshub's closure and cuts at TVNZ. Nicola Willis says no decisions have been made about what will be done. She says it's hardly a unique problem. "It's not just New Zealand who's going through these big problems, this is a global phenomenon. And it's hard to find an example anywhere of a country that's managed to really get on top of

Australia walked away with a series-winning victory over New Zealand at Christchurch's Hagley Oval. The Aussies chased 279 to win before tea on the fourth day to take the series 2-nil. Cricket commentator Andrew Alderson says the Black Caps 'choked' under the pressure of the series, to the benefit of Australia. "The Australians are so confident and so used to being able to deal with level of pressure. And I don't think New Zealand quite had what it took in those circumstances." LISTEN ABOVESee

A plea for the Government to wake up to the reality of vaping among young people. The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation says a 'black market' for vapes has sprung up in schools. One workshop with year 7 and 8 students found 77 percent of them had tried it. Chief Executive Letitia Harding says on the campaign trail, politicians liked to talk about different ways to tackle the problem.

A reminder every second counts when it comes to the effort of fighting fires. Fire and Emergency New Zealand has criticised Auckland Transport for speed bumps, which it says slows firefighters on their way to jobs. Professional Firefighters Union Auckland President Terry Bird says it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

There were concerns The Holdovers was going to win 'Best Original Screenplay' at today's 96th Academy Awards after plagiarism accusations. The award instead went to Anatomy of a Fall. Screenwriter Simon Stephenson - who also wrote Paddington 2 - claims The Holdovers' story is remarkably similar to a script he wrote in 2013. Hollywood reporter Sean Mandell says by not winning, they've dodged a dicey situation. "The Guild has said - in those correspondence anyway, not publicly - they said that there's

If the speculation around Kate Middleton's health was at a fever pitch last week, it is off the charts today because of the photo. This drama is very much developing at the moment. By the time the photo-is-manipulated revelation came out, it was very late in the UK already. It's still very early morning over there, so I would expect things to start happening again in the next few hours as people wake up.
