World Rugby has launched a formal review into allegations made by England's Tom Curry over a racial slur in their World Cup semi-final loss to South Africa. Curry approached referee Ben O'Keeffe during the first half, alleging South African hooker Bongi Mbonambi made the derogatory remark. The move is poised to disrupt the Springboks build-up to the final against the All Blacks on Sunday morning. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further.

Democracy activist Ahmed Zaoui is facing a new legal battle- this time for his life. The former refugee to New Zealand was arrested after holding a political meeting at his home. He's been charged with subversion, which can be penalised by up to 20 years in prison, or death. Lawyer Deborah Manning says Zaoui says the charges don't meet international standards. She says he was one of a number of political leaders who returned home when the political situation improved. "Ahmed went there before Covid,

Two by-elections have spelt bad news for the ruling Conservative Party ahead of the next general election. Mid Bedfordshire has elected its first Labour MP since the 1930s, and Tamworth also swung towards the Labour Party. Both by-elections were triggered by the resignation of their respective Conservative MPs. Violent crime statistics are down by 28 percent. The decline is driven by a fall in criminal damage and fraud offences. However, shoplifting and knife crimes are on the rise. A late Italian

The All Blacks aren’t taking their Rugby World Cup semi-final opponents lightly at all. Despite having the easier opponent on paper, Los Pumas have beaten Ian Foster twice since the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Meanwhile, the other matchup will see England take on the Springboks in a rematch of the 2019 Rugby World Cup final – but also the 2007 final. NZR’s investigation of the Ranfurly Shield saga has found insufficient evidence of foul play. It confirmed the shield was broken accidentally on a concrete

The All Blacks are one win away from their fifth Rugby World Cup final – but they’ll have to get past Argentina. Los Pumas have beaten the All Blacks twice in their history – both of those coming in the past four years during Ian Foster’s tenure. Their first win came in 2020 with a 25-15 win in Sydney, before following it up with a 25-18 win in Christchurch last year. Argentina rugby journalist Frankie Deges joined Jason Pine.

A Wellington day care centre says its frustrated parents will have to park 50 meters away to drop off their kids while a cycleway is installed. CoKids Daycare Centre on Thorndon Quay claims they've been given less than a week's notice to prepare for a year of disruption. The centre looks after around 100 children and is concerned they may have to close. CoKids' Steve Piper told Jason Pine the lack of communication has been stressful.

Candidates for the Port Waikato by-election have closed, but Labour has chosen to sit this one out. Labour Party President Jill Day says it's an "unwinnable" contest for them, and the party is focusing on its transition to opposition. The by-election was triggered by the death of ACT candidate Neil Christensen just before the election. Meanwhile, negotiations continue between Prime Minister-elect Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters. It's expected that any policy announcements between the two

The All Blacks have a chance to make their fifth Rugby World Cup final, but they have to get past Argentina first. However, with two wins over the All Blacks in the past World Cup cycle, the All Blacks certainly won’t be taking this one lightly. The Black Caps remain unbeaten at the Cricket World Cup, but their win streak could be under threat. They have a top of the group clash against hosts India in Dharamshala, where the Black Caps are ahead of India on run rate. Sportstalk host D’Arcy Waldegrave

A White House correspondent says US President Joe Biden will likely ask for roughly $100 billion dollars to boost aid to Israel and Ukraine. Biden spoke from the Oval Office, outlining why the US should provide further aid and why they can't sit by and watch the violence inflicted by Putin and Hamas.

Couldn't this listed company pay its own costs, especially as plenty of other Wellington issues need the funding?

Speculation hints that the post-pandemic imbalances in the economy could be working themselves out. Since mid-September, the economic numbers have started to beat the expectations of economists and markets.
