Not sure the rest of the country understands how bad it is here in Napier. There is no power, no cell coverage, no fuel, no information, the only way in or out is by air. Civil Defence says “there are still large areas of the region we don’t have contact with” ⁦@NZStuff⁩

Yesterday, Christopher Luxon said a decision on the recognition of Palestinian statehood would be made by the end of the week. “It’s not a race,” he told Breakfast.

This is the best visualisation I’ve seen to show how out of step New Zealand is with many of our closest allies.

Reports out of Germany that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is travelling to Berlin for a day of diplomacy with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Calls are planned with Trump, Vance, Tusk, Starmer, Meloni, among others.

A sad day for South Korea, a normally reliable ally and liberal democracy. I had the pleasure of reporting from the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice last year. People were so proud of how far the country had come in the that time. This is undoubtedly a step backwards.

Fired Finance Minister Lindner has now held his own firey presser and accused Scholz of a “calculated breakup of the coalition”.

Breaking news out of Germany: It appears “the traffic light” coalition is falling appart. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has sacked the finance minister Christian Lindner after days of crisis talks. Further chaos for Europe on a day many people here have already considered chaotic.

Imagine starting a special broadcast in reaction to the US election, and halfway through having your own government fall apart. That’s what has just happened in Germany 🤯

Context to the depth of feeling in Germany, the latest poll showed 85% of the population is unhappy with the current government.

The German chancellor said in a passionate press conference that his finance minister had broken his trust too many times, and that he had showed incomprehensible selfishness with the policies he was trying to advance.

Are you looking for a new podcast? I’d highly recommend you give The Lost Boy a go. @mike_thepress & I have invested some serious (wo)man hours into this fascinating, heartbreaking , still unresolved nine-year-old tale.

When we watched Scottie on the range on Wednesday I told Shan to look closely at his feet and listen to the sound coming off his clubs. We sat in awe of his ball striking, not one mishit or a single funky swing. He’s a freak. #Scottie #themasters

The feedback on this piece has been incredible. All thanks to the women brave enough to speak out.

Investigative journalism is still crucial. And the good stuff takes time. This took me three months to get across the line.

Great piece from my friend @shanredstall.

“It was pretty nasty, pretty loud and horrible... It was very, very stressful. Very humiliating."

@88TheDon @stuff @X Hey Paul, yeah, the company isn't on X anymore but the journos can make their own decisions.

They say Auckland doesn’t know about anywhere south of the Bombays... I think the Government barely knows there is an island south of the Cook Straight. 1/20 cabinet ministers from Te Waipounamu.
