Coming up on Te Karere... According to the latest poll, Labour's shot up, but the Greens are tanking. We get the reaction from Maori MPs. Eastern Bay of Plenty iwi Te Whakatohea signs its treaty settlement. And at the first day of the 11th coronation celebrations. Tainui remembers the recently departed. 18 August 2017 Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Labour's Tamaki Makaurau MP says his party's new leadership is the reason why Labour is soaring in a recent poll. In last night's 1News Colmar-Brunton poll Labour rose from 13 to 37 percent, its highest since 2008, but while they went up the Greens went down 11 percent to four. But as our political reporter Eruera Rerekura reports the Greens say they're still hopeful in the face of adversity. Searching, wondering - where has it gone? That must be the prevailing thought the Greens have at the moment. But they'll try their hardest to regain support. The big question - is it Metiria's fault? However, it's a different story for Labour. Their support has risen to 37 percent - almost even with National on 44 percent. The Tamaki Makaurau MP believes the new leadership is why it's turned out like this. And he's excited about the Maori seats. As for the Maori Party they're on two percent and New Zealand First is on 10 percent. A real contest is looming. Eruera Rerekura, Te Karere. Te Whakatohea swarmed the beehive today for the signing of their agreement in principle (AIP). This has been a long time coming for the iwi, and Te Whakatohea spokesman Te Kahautu Maxwell says today, they are fulfilling ancient oaths. Hania Douglas has this report. Te Whakatohea is on the move. Te Whakatohea descended upon parliament today for a long planned meeting, but they certainly aren't strangers to the place. The deal on offer included $100m to go towards specific funding for te reo revitalisation, education endowments and the development of Te Whakatohea's reserves. And Te Whakatohea spokesperson Te Kahautu Maxwell acknowledges the Treaty Minister. Now it's back to the negotiation table to ensure the people of Te Whakatohea get what they are owed.

A former Maori journalist based in South Korea says it is business as usual across the country despite the threat war between neighbour North Korea and the United States of America. Karley Hemopo spoke to Te Karere about the rift between the two super-powers and its unpredictable leaders, President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un. Ripeka Timutimu has this story. The world has played witness to the show of arms from North Korea and America. It's well known that both Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump are stubborn and they have weapons. Earlier this week North Korea leader, Kim Jong Un made threats of an attack on Guam, a US military base. But tensions have eased, though Hemopo says plans for evacuation from South Korea still remain. Vice president of America, Mike Pence says their position remains. It's hoped other countries won't get caught up in the crossfire in the event of an attack. Ripeka Timutimu, Te Karere. After the break, The Black Ferns book a place in the RWC semis.

Our reporter Rapaera Tawhai went along as well. The voices of those in mourning from Tainui. And appropriately, the Kahui Ariki lead them. She will lead all those who have died from Tainui on - as will the current and former monarchs. All of them will guide the dead of our waka today. Toomairangi Paki was the sister of King Tuheitia. She passed away in April this year. She was involved in promoting kapa haka among Tainui, through her kapa, Taniwharau. Her performing arts creativity was watched. You could see it in Rakaumanga's performance. You'll also see it again with Taniwharau's kapa haka this coming Monday. With her was Napi Waaka. His mate was brought by his family to Turangawaewae.
