IT'S TUESDAY THE 16TH OF JUNE. GAME DAY. MORENA. THIS IS BREAKFAST. COMING UP ON BREAKFAST THIS MORNING ` HOW QUICKLY WILL THE PEACE DEAL BETWEEN THE U.S AND IRAN SEE A FALL IN FUEL PRICES HERE? MORE NEXT. ALSO, YOU MIGHT THINK BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER WOULD GET YOU THE BEST DEAL, RIGHT? AH, NOT QUITE. AND WHO'S EXCITED? THE ALL WHITES OPEN THEIR WORLD CUP QUEST. OUR OWN ZION DAYAL'S UP JUST AFTER 7.00. RIGHT NOW IT'S 6.30. HERE'S YOUR NEWS. WE WILL GET THERE. THE ALL WHITES TAKE CENTRE STAGE TODAY FOR THEIR OPENING WORLD CUP CLASH AGAINST IRAN IN LOS ANGELES. IT'S THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE IN 16 YEARS ` THE TEAM EXPECTING A SIGNIFICANT CROWD. YOU KNOW, ALL THE PLAYERS PREFER PLAYING IN BIG CROWDS, BIG ATMOSPHERE. YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT WE CAME TO THE WORLD CUP FOR ` TO PLAY IN FRONT OF BIG CROWDS. SO, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE GAME GETS UNDERWAY, I MEAN, CHRIS WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU. YOU DON'T ACTUALLY NOTICE THE CROWD WHO THEY'RE CHEERING FOR ANYWAY. JOIN US ON TVNZ FROM MIDDAY FOR ALL THE BUILD UP AND ANALYSIS. U.S. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE IS CONFIDENT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL REOPEN TOLL-FREE FOR THE LONG-TERM. AND THAT, IN TURN, WILL LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN OIL PRICES BUT SPEAKING AFTER THE U.S. AND IRAN AGREED A PEACE DEAL, VANCE ADMITS THERE'S STILL A LOT TO BE FINALISED BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES. A LOT OF THESE DETAILS ARE GOING TO BE FIGURED OUT DURING THOSE 60-DAY TALKS. WE FEEL QUITE CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE IN A STRONG POSITION HERE. FUNDAMENTALLY, WE HAVE THE LEVERAGE, WE HAVE THE DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY LEVERAGE, BUT WE ALSO ARE EXTENDING AN OPEN HAND TO THE IRANIANS TO SAY, IF YOU GUYS NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH AND MAKE THAT LONG-TERM COMMITMENT NOT TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COUNTRY IS SUCCESSFUL. VANCE'S COMMENTS COME AS U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ARRIVES IN FRANCE, WHERE HE WILL DISCUSS THE SITUATION WITH EUROPEAN LEADERS AT THE G7 SUMMIT. A YOUNG MOTHER HAS HAD HER ARM AMPUTATED AFTER BEING ATTACKED BY A SHARK AT A BEACH IN SYDNEY. LEAH STEWART WAS SWIMMING CLOSE TO THE SHORE ON COOGEE BEACH WHEN SHE WAS MAULED BY WHAT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN A 3.5M-LONG GREAT WHITE SHARK. HER FAMILY SAYS SHE IS SUFFERING FROM MULTIPLE BITES ACROSS HER ARMS AND LEGS AND LACERATIONS AND FRACTURES THROUGHOUT HER BODY. SHE HAS MORE SURGERIES SCHEDULED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

RAW SEWAGE IS CURRENTLY DISCHARGING INTO WELLINGTON'S SOUTH COAST. IT FOLLOWS A NIGHT OF HEAVY RAIN IN THE CAPITAL WITH WELLINGTON WATER ISSUING A NOTICE AT 8pm, ADVISING THE PUBLIC THE SHORT OUTFALL PIPE WAS IN USE. THAT MEANS RAW, UNTREATED WASTE IS BEING LET OUT INTO TARAKENA BAY. PUBLIC HEALTH ADVICE IS TO AVOID SOUTH COAST BEACHES FOR 48 HOURS AFTER THE DISCHARGE STOPS. THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM IS STILL FALLING SHORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND MAORI, A NEW REPORT SHOWS, WITH CALLS TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM FASTER TO MEET RISING NEEDS. REPORTER LUCY BENDELL JOINS US WITH MORE DETAILS. WHAT ELSE DOES THE REPORT OUTLINE? MORENA, TOVA. THIS IS NEW ZEALAND'S LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE LOOK INTO HOW WE ARE TACKLING THE COUNTRY'S MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. THERE ARE SOME IMPROVEMENTS, BUT YOUNG PEOPLE AND MAORI ARE STILL DISADVANTAGED. THE NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE ACCESSING TREATMENT IS DECREASING DESPITE THEM FACING RISING PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS, MAORI ARE FACING HIGHER UNMET NEEDS AND ARE SIX TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE PUT IN ISOLATION ROOMS, WHICH ADVOCATES HAVE BEEN AGAINST FOR YEARS. ADVOCATES WILL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THEM. MORE THAN A MILLION NEW ZEALAND HOUSEHOLDS COULD BE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ELECTRICITY BY STAYING LOYAL TO THE SAME POWER PROVIDER. CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND RESEARCH FOUND HALF OF HOUSEHOLDS HAVE BEEN WITH THEIR RETAILER FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, WITH MANY MISSING OUT ON BETTER DEALS AVAILABLE TO NEW CUSTOMERS. CONSUMER SAYS POWER PRICES HAVE RISEN 20% IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND HOUSEHOLDS THAT SWITCH PROVIDERS ARE SAVING AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT $450 A YEAR.

(COUGHS FAKELY) OW, OW, TUMMY SORE. I THINK I USED UP ALL OF MY SICKIES IN HIGH SCHOOL. NOT SINCE I'VE BEEN A GROWN-UP. THE WORST HAS BEEN CAUGHT ON THAT COVERAGE AND GETTING A CALL FROM THE BOSS SAYING LOOKING LIKE YOU HAD A GOOD TIME AT THE STADIUM LAST NIGHT. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORIES TODAY IF YOU HAVE DONE THIS OR IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO THIS TODAY. OR MAYBE YOUR SCHOOL OR WORKPLACE HAS BEEN RIGHTFULLY ACCOMMODATING.

WOW, AND WHEREAS SPAIN RANKED AGAIN? VERY HIGH. BASICALLY BORN IN IRELAND, PLAYED FOR THE SHAMROCK ROVERS. ANYWAY, SEND US YOUR SICKIE STORIES. TELL US YOUR VIEW ` EMAIL US AT breakfast@tvnz.co.nz OR YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH US ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM @breakfaston1. IF YOU ARE A GOOD BOSS, ARE YOU LETTING YOUR EMPLOYEES STAY HOME? AND NOW TO THE WEATHER, IT'S A WET ONE UP NORTH. RAIN, GRADUALLY EASING IN RUSSELL AND WHANGAREI, POSSIBLY HEAVY IN AUCKLAND. MORNING SHOWERS AND WESTERLIES IN HAMILTON AND WHAKATANE, MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A FEW SHOWERS IN NEW PLYMOUTH AND WELLINGTON, CLEARING TO FINE IN THE AFTERNOON. 11 IS THE HIGH IN DANNEVIRKE, 16 IN GISBORNE. IT'S A SUNNIER OUTLOOK FOR THOSE DOWN SOUTH ` SHOWERS BECOMING FINE IN THE MORNING IN BLENHEIM AND KAIKOURA, EVENING RAIN IN WESTPORT. MOSTLY FINE IN CHRISTCHURCH, OAMARU AND TIMARU. MORNING FROSTS IN QUEENSTOWN AND DUNEDIN, STRONG NORTH-WEST WINDS IN MILFORD SOUND. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 13 IN GREYMOUTH. # LAST NIGHT, THE DJ SAVED MY LIFE. ALL EYES ARE ON THE PETROL PUMP, WITH HOPES A PEACE DEAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST WILL BRING RELIEF TO NEW ZEALAND HOUSEHOLDS. THE U.S. AND IRAN SAY THEY'VE REACHED A DEAL TO END THE CONFLICT, EVEN THOUGH MAJOR ISSUES LIKE IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO ONE SIDE. DONALD TRUMP IS PROMISING THE U.S. WILL LIFT ITS NAVAL BLOCKADE OF IRANIAN PORTS AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL BE REOPENED ONCE THE DEAL IS SIGNED. THE PRICE OF OIL'S DROPPED TO A THREE-MONTH LOW, BUT HOW SOON WILL THOSE EFFECTS FLOW THROUGH TO THE ECONOMY? JOINING US IS WESTPAC'S CHIEF ECONOMIST, KELLY ECKHOLD, MORENA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. WE ARE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC, MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN USUAL? IT IS THE BEST THING TABLET IN THREE MONTHS. THEY MANAGED TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE THEY AGREED ON SOMETHING. THIS IS HOPEFULLY A DEAL THAT WILL GO WITHOUT SHOOTING EACH OTHER. LOOKING AT THE REACTION FROM THE MARKETS... IS IT ALL LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR CONSUMERS HERE AT HOME AS WELL? ABSOLUTELY, THE ENERGY AND OIL PRICES FELL A BIT LAST WEEK AS THOSE RUMOURS STARTED TO SERVICE. IF I LOOK AT WHERE PETROL PRICES ARE, PROBABLY SOMETHING IN THE $2.80 RANGE. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE ` THIS MIGHT BE DIFFICULT QUESTION, BUT HOW LONG DO YOU THINK TO WE SEE THOSE PRICES? IT IS DEPENDENT ON THINGS REMAINING AS THEY ARE. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, ASSUMING THIS IS WHERE THINGS SETTLE, SOME PLACES AROUND TOWN HERE ARE ALREADY PRAISING PETROL AT 2.96. AND WE HEARD FROM NICOLA WILLIS IS TODAY THAT THEY WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE OIL COMPANIES AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE PASSING ON THE COSTS AS QUICKLY AS THEY PASS ON HIKES. CONSUMERS HAVE AN EAGLE EYE, HAVEN'T THEY? WE ARE INTERESTED TO SET HIM DOWN. WILL THIS BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHIFTS IN YOUR MIND? I THINK IT SHOULD BE QUITE IMPORTANT, WE EVEN NOTICED IN THE DATA FROM A THAT IT WAS JUST MUCH BETTER THAN APRIL, RETAIL SPENDING FOR EXAMPLE. THAT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN PETROL PRICES COME DOWN AND ALSO PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING THE NEWS AND JUST FEELING PROBABLY A BIT MORE OPTIMISTIC THAN THEY HAVE BEEN FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A CHANGE ANY OF THE PROJECTIONS AROUND ECONOMIC RECOVERY FOR THE COUNTRY? I THINK ON THE INFLATION FORECAST, IT WILL CHANGE THINGS A BIT AND WILL BE TWIDDLING OUR FUNDS TO BRING THE THOSE FORECASTS. WHEN I WILL EXPECT TO SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS... I THINK A LOT OF ECONOMIC BROADCAST FOR THE START OF THE YEAR, AND FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR, WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS COULD LOOK,... TO THINK CONSUMERS WILL BE QUITE QUICK TO BOUNCE BACK AND START USING THE CARDS ARE GETTING OUT THERE IN SHOPPING AND SPENDING AGAIN? CERTAINLY, THE PETROL PRICES, SPENDING CHANGES. I THINK THE BUSINESSES, IT WILL DEPEND ON HOW THINGS GO, I THINK, IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WE NEED TO SEE SOME FUEL ACTUALLY FLOWING, WE NEED TO SEE THAT UNCERTAINTY COME DOWN BECAUSE I THINK IS THE LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY THAT HAS BEEN THE DEAL SINCE THE PANDEMIC, HAVE BANKS FOUND THAT THIS CREATES MORE RESILIENCE? CERTAINLY THE BUSINESSES, THEY HAVE BEEN HIT WITH A WHOLE LOT OF SHOCKS THAT SEEM TO COME ONE AFTER ANOTHER AND I HAVE JUST SEEN SOME STARTS. PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE A BETTER SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR THIS YEAR. WHAT ARE YOU PICKING FOR THE GDP FIGURES? IT'S GOING TO LOOK PRETTY DECENT, WE HAVE 1% FOR THE MUCH QUARTERS. THAT TELLS ME THAT IF THIS UNCERTAINTY OF THE WAR CAN BE REMOVED, THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T GET THAT BACK. THERE YOUR CHANCES OF A BETTER MARKET... INTERESTING POLITICAL CIRCLE AS WELL HEADING INTO THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KELLY, FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. ME U TONU MAI ` THE SURPRISING, MAYBE EVEN UNSETTLING, LESSON ABOUT CONSUMER LOYALTY. (POP MUSIC) Hi! I'm a real Skinny mobile customer and a real life human man. # Real life... you... And Skinny have cloned me... with AI. They pay to use my face so my clients can sell Skinny all year long. It's the ultimate side hustle. # He's a real life human man... # It's just another way Skinny keeps prices low and customers happy. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. HERE'S WHAT'S MAKING NEWS THIS MORNING ` THE ALL WHITES TAKE CENTRE STAGE TODAY FOR THEIR OPENING WORLD CUP CLASH AGAINST IRAN IN LOS ANGELES. A YOUNG MOTHER HAS HAD HER ARM AMPUTATED AFTER BEING ATTACKED BY A SHARK AT A BEACH IN SYDNEY. RAW SEWAGE IS CURRENTLY DISCHARGING INTO WELLINGTON'S SOUTH COAST FOLLOWING A NIGHT OF HEAVY RAIN IN THE CAPITAL. THIS WEEK ON BREAKFAST, WE'RE GIVING AWAY MORE THAN $30,000 WORTH OF INCREDIBLE LG PRIZES, WITH THREE MASSIVE PRIZE PACKS UP FOR GRABS. YOU COULD WIN THE ULTIMATE HOME ENTERTAINMENT UPGRADE WITH A BRAND-NEW 77" OLED TV AND HOME CINEMA SOUNDBAR, A KITCHEN GLOW-UP INCLUDING A FRENCH DOOR FRIDGE, DISHWASHER AND OLED TV, OR A COMPLETE LAUNDRY REFRESH WITH A WASHING MACHINE, HEAT PUMP, DRYER, AND 48" OLED TV. HEAD TO winwithbreakfast.co.nz NOW TO ENTER, AND WE'LL BE ANNOUNCING THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. WE ALL WANT TO BE LOYAL CUSTOMERS, BUT IS OUR LOYALTY GETTING US ANYWHERE? SOME WOULD SAY NO, WITH MANY COMPANIES CREEPING IN A LOYALTY TAX, SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND HOW COULD IT BE AFFECTING YOU? TO TELL US MORE IS INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL JOURNALIST FRANCES COOK. MORENA! WHAT IS A LOYALTY TAX? BASICALLY, YOU HAVE STUCK AROUND AND EVERYONE IS GETTING A BETTER PRICE THAN YOU ARE. WHERE WE GETTING HIT BY THIS, SERVICES? BASICALLY ANYWHERE. THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE MOST LIKELY... YOUR POWER BILL IS SHOCKING FOR IT, BANK FEES, INSURANCE AND IT IS OFTEN THESE AREAS OF LIFE WHERE WE ARE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THE COST OF IT, SO IT REALLY ADDS UP. POWER ` ABSOLUTE CLASSIC ONE. POWER PRICES WENT UP 12% LAST YEAR AND 20% OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, SO WE ARE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THAT. THE CLASSIC THING IS THAT IF YOU GO TO POWERSWITCH.ORG.NZ, YOU CAN SAVE UP TO $70. YOU CAN ALSO UPLOAD YOUR POWER BILL. THE AVERAGE PERSON THERE SAVES $700 A YEAR. IT'S MASSIVE! THERE WAS CONSUMER RESEARCH OUT THIS MORNING TO THAT SHOWED MORE THAN 1 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS ARE PAYING MORE FOR POWER. PEOPLE ARE STAYING LOYAL TO THEIR POWER PROVIDERS FOR FIVE YEARS AVERAGE. NEW ZEALANDERS ARE QUITE FAMOUS FOR BEING STICKY CUSTOMERS. WE PICK SOMEONE WE LIKE, WE STICK AROUND FOR IT. WE'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON IN OUR LIVES. IT'S HARD TO SIT AND PRICE-COMPARE. BUT IT COULD BE COSTING YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. YOUR INSURANCE, AS WELL, RIGHT? THAT'S ANOTHER ONE WHERE` THE EXACT SAME COVERAGE BUT IF YOU SHOP AROUND, IT COULD BE A $1600 DIFFERENCE OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. THESE ARE REALLY BIG COSTS. WHAT ABOUT THE UPSIDE FOR LOYALTY, IS THERE EVER ANY? I'VE GOT THE CARD, I MUST BE GETTING SOME SORT OF BENEFIT. NO, NONE, IT'S REALLY ANNOYING, RIGHT? GOOD DEALS ARE TO ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS. SOME PLACES WILL LET YOU KNOW, BUT THEY MOSTLY LEAVE YOU BE. JUST LEAVING THEIR EXISTING CUSTOMERS. IF YOU'VE HAD ONE OF YOUR CORE COSTS NOT CHANGE FOR ANYTHING OVER TWO YEARS, IT MOST CERTAINLY COULD BE BETTER. YOUR BANK AS WELL ` THERE ARE A LOT OF HIS OLD FEE-HEAVY ACCOUNTS AROUND AND THAT IS SETTING UP EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVEN YOUR INTERNET. BUT ACTUALLY, THE SERVICES CHANGED AND PRICES GO UP; YOU MIGHT GO TO FIBRE AND NOT REALISE ALL THESE UPGRADES TOOK PLACE AND YOU COULD BE PAYING THE SAME OR LESS THE BETTER SERVICES, RIGHT? ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR BANK EVERY SINGLE MONTH, CHECK THAT. I KNOW IT'S A PAIN TO GO THERE AND DO THESE BUT I THINK PICK ONE PER WEEK AND JUST SAY, I'M GOING TO PICK THIS ONE, DO A QUICK PRICE COMPARE AND YOU WILL FIND OUT YOUR EXACT SAME PROVIDER MIGHT HAVE A BETTER DEAL. THAT IS THE HABIT OF MOVING COMPANIES AND THE THOUGHT OF BEING ON HOLD WITH A CALL FOR AGES, TALKING TO SOMEONE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, THAT PUTS PEOPLE OFF. THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU IN THE SAME PLACE, THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT INERTIA, THAT I LOYALTY CARDS OFTEN MEAN THAT YOU CAN GET THE EXACT SAME THING EVEN AFTER THE LOYALTY DISCOUNT HAS BEEN APPLIED, THE EXACT SAME THING FOR CHEAPER ELSEWHERE. YOU CAN OFTEN SAY, HEY, I FOUND THIS GOOD DEAL, WILL YOU MATCH IT, AND NINE TIMES OUT OF 10, THEY WILL, SO IT'S REALLY WORTH DOING AND I WILL SAY WITH BANKS, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THOSE FEES AND THINGS, 'I DON'T WANT TO MOVE ALL MY DIRECT DEBITS, IS A REAL PAIN.' BE MORE PROMISCUOUS. YES, THAT TOO. ALL YOUR DEBITS WILL COME ACROSS WITH YOU EVEN WHEN YOU CHANGE BANKS. ALWAYS GET ADVICE, THANK YOU, FRANCIS. E HAERE AKE NEI ` JUST A FEW HOURS UNTIL THE ALL WHITES KICK OFF AGAINST IRAN AT THE WORLD CUP. WE'RE IN LOS ANGELES WITH OUR OWN ZION DAYAL. # FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME.

It's the ultimate side hustle. # He's a real life human man... # It's just another way Skinny keeps prices low and customers happy. RICKY MARTIN ` ONE OF THE CLASSIC FIFA ANTHEM SINGERS. THANK YOU TO BEAR, THE 12 WEEK OLD... WHAT KIND OF PUPPY WAS HE AGAIN? A GROODLE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YESTERDAY. HE MIGHT JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH THE FOOTBALL. LOOK AT HIM GO. OH NO! HE IS POOING ON THE FLOOR. THIS IS TERRIFIC. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD GET LIVE ANIMALS INTO THE STUDIO. POP IN FRONT, AND LET'S SEE WHICH WAY HE GOES. HE EVENTUALLY CHOSE NEW ZEALAND TO WIN. HE WENT GLOBAL. I HAD A TEXT FROM A FRIEND WHO WENT TO SCHOOL WITH OVERSEAS WHEN I WAS 10, HE SAID THAT I POPPED UP ON HIS ESPN FEED THIS MORNING. BEAR MADE IT ON TO ESPN SOCCER. PUTTING THE POO BACK IN POODLE. STILL TO COME ON BREAKFAST THIS MORNING ` LABOUR LEADER CHRIS HIPKINS JOINS US AT 7.20 ON THE BACK OF LATEST POLLING, QUESTIONS OVER HIS COSTINGS AND A DARE FROM THE FINANCE MINISTER. ALSO AHEAD ` FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER WINSTON PETERS JOINS US ON THE IRAN-US PEACE DEAL WITH PLENTY OF QUESTIONS HANGING OVER THE PACT. ALSO AHEAD ` WE INVESTIGATE ONE OF WELLINGTON'S STRANGEST MYSTERIES IN A TRUE CRIME THRILLER RELEASED TODAY. AND OUR OWN ZION DAYAL IS IN L.A. AS THE ALL WHITES GET READY TO OPEN THEIR WORLD CUP AGAINST IRAN. IT'S 7 O'CLOCK. HERE'S THE NEWS. THANKS, CHRIS. U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS TALKING UP THE PEACE DEAL WITH IRAN AND SAYS SHIPS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO MOVE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. AN AGREEMENT TO END THE WAR IN IRAN WAS ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY AND TRUMP IS NOW IN FRANCE FOR THE G7 SUMMIT, WHERE HE WAS SPEAKING ALONGSIDE FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON. I THINK A LOT OF GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE MIDDLE EAST RIGHT NOW. VERY IMPORTANTLY, THE OIL IS PLUMMETING DOWN, AND THE STOCK MARKET IS SHOOTING UP LIKE A ROCKET. TRUMP ADDING HE'S NOT SURE IF HE'LL ATTEND THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN LATER THIS WEEK. THE PRICE OF OIL'S DROPPED TO A THREE-MONTH LOW, WITH PRICES AT THE PUMP ALREADY REDUCING. WESTPAC'S CHIEF ECONOMIST, KELLY ECKHOLD SAYS THE ECONOMY WESTPAC'S CHIEF ECONOMIST, KELLY ECKHOLD SAYS THE ECONOMY WILL BOUNCE BACK. SPENDING BOUNCE BACK QUITE NOTICEABLY YESTERDAY. THAT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE PETROL PRICE COMES DOWN. UK PRIME MINISTER KEIR STARMER HAS ISSUED A SOCIAL MEDIA BAN FOR UNDER 16'S WHICH WILL TAKE EFFECT EARLY NEXT YEAR. IT WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. IT WILL MAKE OUR CHILDREN SAFER. IT WILL MAKE OUR CHILDREN HAPPIER. IT WILL GIVE THEM MORE TIME, MORE SECURITY, MORE FREEDOM TO GROW UP. STARMER ACKNOWLEDGES CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO FIND WAYS AROUND THE BAN BUT HOPES THERE WILL BE A DROP OFF OF CHILDREN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, NOT A COMPLETE REMOVAL, IN WHAT IS SET TO BE PART ONE OF HELPING UNDER-16s LIVE A 'BETTER LIFE'. TWO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED IN A TWO-CAR CRASH ON PORT HILLS ROAD IN CHRISTCHURCH LAST NIGHT, WITH ONE VEHICLE BRINGING DOWN A POWER POLE. CHARLOTTE MULDER HAS THE LATEST. WHAT TIME WAS THE CRASH REPORTED? POLICE RECEIVED REPORTS OF THE CRASH AT 8 PM LAST NIGHT. TWO PEOPLE HAVE SUSTAINED INJURIES. WE ARE UNSURE HOW SERIOUS THEY ARE. WE WILL BRING YOU ALL OF THE LATEST UPDATES ON THAT FRONT WHEN WE RECEIVE THEM. THE ROAD REOPENED AT 10 PM WITH THE SITE DEEMED SAFE. THE NZTA ARE WARNING DRIVERS TO DRIVE WITH CARE WHEN GOING THROUGH THAT AREA ON PORT HILLS ROAD. WELLINGTON'S NEW WATER SERVICE HAS REVEALED HOW MUCH MORE PEOPLE WILL BE PAYING UNDER THEIR MANAGEMENT. TIAKA WAI TAKES OVER WATER MANAGEMENT FOR THE WELLINGTON REGION FROM JULY 1ST. THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD IS EXPECTED TO PAY $5.60 MORE A WEEK. THAT'S ON TOP OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY COVERED BY RATES. THE ENTITY SAYS IT PLANS TO SPEND AROUND $800m IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION, HALF OF WHICH WILL GO TOWARDS REPLACING AND UPGRADING AGING PIPES, OTHER CRITICAL ASSETS, AND SYSTEMS. CAPE VERDE HAVE STUNNED WORLD CUP HEAVYWEIGHTS SPAIN, HOLDING THEM TO A SHOCK NIL-ALL DRAW. THE WEST AFRICAN MINNOWS IN THEIR FIRST EVER WORLD CUP REPEATEDLY FENDING OFF THE STAR STUDDED SPANISH ATTACK TO EARN A POINT. WHAT A PASS. THAT IS THE BLOCK OF A LIFETIME. CAPE VERDE IS THE THIRD SMALLEST NATION AT THIS YEAR'S TOURNAMENT. THE WHITE FERNS KNOW THEY HAVE SOME SHARPENING UP TO DO AFTER A POOR FIELDING PERFORMANCE IN THEIR T20 WORLD CUP OPENER. THE KIWIS SHELLING MULTIPLE CATCHES AGAINST WEST INDIES WHO WENT ON TO WIN WITH JUST ONE BALL TO SPARE. I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT WAS NOT OUR STANDARD IN THE FIELD. WE'VE TRUSTED OUR SKILL IN THE PAST AND WE KNOW IT'S NOT A LACK OF SKILL OR A LACK OF EFFORT, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS, AND YOU KNOW, CRICKET CAN BE TOUGH LIKE THAT. YOU CAN REALLY UNDERPERFORM ONE NIGHT AND THEN THE NEXT GAME CAN BE A BLINDER IN THE FIELD. SO, YEAH, WE KNOW WE'VE GOT TO MOVE ON FROM THAT. THEY'LL TAKE ON SRI LANKA IN THEIR SECOND ROUND ROBIN GAME EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. AND FINALLY, IF YOU CAN'T BE IN A FOOTBALL WORLD CUP STADIUM, THIS SPOT IN MIAMI IS THE NEXT BEST PLACE TO BE. FANS AT GRAILS SPORTS BAR WATCHED GERMANY VERSUS CURACAO YESTERDAY, SIPPING COCKTAILS FROM FOOTBALL BOOTS AND BEERS FROM WORLD CUP TROPHY GLASSES, FROM WORLD CUP TROPHY GLASSES, YOU KNOW I AM A SUCKER FOR MERCH. IT ALWAYS TASTES BETTER WHEN IT IS IT IN A THEMED CUP, A WORLD CUP CUP, SO I LOVE IT, BUT I DO LIKE BEER IN ANY CUP. SUPPORTERS ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR CUSTOM COCKTAIL CUPS HOME AS SOUVENIRS. A CLASSY COCKTAIL, RIGHT THERE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKETS. (GROOVY MUSIC) WHEN IT COMES TO BIG GAMES, SOMETIMES DISHONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. MARK ` WHILE WORKING AS A NURSE AIDE, I PULLED A SICKIE TO GO TO A CONCERT. THIS ONE IS FROM KAYLA. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS A CHEF AND TRAINING. I WAS ROSTERED ON A SUNDAY MORNING SHIFT. I CALLED IN SICK. I SAID I HAD A FEVER AND A SORE THROAT. WHEN I GOT TO WORK A FEW DAYS LATER, A PHOTO OF ME RIDING MY MOTORBIKE WAS CUT OUT OF THE NEWSPAPER AND STUCK ON THE DOOR. ADAM SAYS STAFF WILL BE GETTING THE GAME TIME OFF TODAY SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE PERSONAL TIME TO WATCH THE ALL WHITES IN ACTION. THAT IS THE WAY TO DO IT. IT IS ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS. YOU ARE NOT A SICKIE PULLER. I WISH SOMETIMES I WOULD BE... I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT. EVEN WHEN WE ARE SICK, WE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT THAT.

THE ALL WHITES GET THEIR FIFA WORLD CUP CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY AGAINST IRAN. IT'S THEIR FIRST DANCE ON THE BIG STAGE IN 16 YEARS. THEIR LAST APPEARANCE AT THE TOURNAMENT COMING IN 2010. FOR MORE, WE'RE JOINED BY WORLD CUP REPORTER ZION DAYAL, LIVE IN LOS ANGELES. MORENA, ZION. WHAT'S THE ENERGY LIKE IN L.A? YOU HAVE YOUR FLAG. GOOD. GOOD MORNING, GUYS. I THOUGHT I WOULD WEAR MY FLAG THIS MORNING TO SHOW WHO I AM SUPPORTING. AROUND LA HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. WE HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE THE STADIUM. WE HAVE SPENT TIME IN AND AROUND THE HOTEL. THERE IS WORLD CUP FEVER EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A MASSIVE PLOT OF LAND WHERE THE ALL WHITES ARE PLAYING. THE BARS, THE RESTAURANTS ` EVERYWHERE WE GO HAS THE WORLD CUP GAMES ON. SPAIN PLAYED CAPE VERDE THIS MORNING. EVERYONE IS GETTING INTO IT. FOR THE KIWI SUPPORTERS AROUND, WE FINALLY GET OUT AND TODAY. THAT IS THE STADIUM BEHIND YOU, RIGHT? IS THAT THE TOP OF THE STADIUM AND THE REST OF THE STADIUM SITS BELOW GROUND LEVEL, SUNKEN INTO THE GROUND? YEAH. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. WE ARE IN THE STANDS YESTERDAY AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE FIELD. WE WERE LOOKING UP. YOU LOOK INTO THE SKY, AND THE FURTHEST SEATS AWAY ARE SO FAR. DARREN WAS ALSO IN AWE. CHRIS WOOD TOO. I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE IN THERE. THERE IS NOT A BAD VIEW IN ANY SEAT IN THE STADIUM. IN 1982 WE HAD THREE LOSSES. IN 2010, THREE DRAWS. NEW ZEALAND HAVE NEVER WON A WORLD CUP MATCH BEFORE. IS TODAY THE DAY? DARREN HAS SAID THAT SINCE THE ALL WHITES FOUND OUT THEY WERE PLAYING, THIS WAS THE GAME THEY WANTED TO TARGET. IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER FOR THEM AGAINST EGYPT'S AND BELGIUM. THEIR PREPARATION HAS BEEN FAR FROM IDEAL. THEY HAD TO MOVE THEIR BASE FROM ARIZONA TO MEXICO. EVEN YESTERDAY, IT WAS FASCINATING TO BE IN A ROOM WITH THE IRAN TEAM. THEY HAD TROUBLE GETTING INTO LA. THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK THEM FIVE HOURS. BEHIND THE SCENE, YOU COULD FEEL THEIR FRUSTRATION. THEY WERE NOT HAPPY. EVERYTHING WAS GOING AGAINST THEM. THIS IS THE ALL-WHITE, EVERYTHING HAS GONE TO PLAN. THEY HAVE A NICE BASE DOWN IN SAN DIEGO. THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLAY WARMUP MATCHES WHENEVER THEY LIKE. IN TERMS OF PREPARATION, THE ALL WEIGHTS HAVE PROBABLY HAD THE MOST IDEAL PREPARATION OTHER THAN THEIR OPPOSITION. IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THESE, WHAT HAPPENS OFF THE FIELD FOR AROUND COULD GALVANISE. EVERYTHING THAT HAS GONE ON, WHETHER THEY PLAN THE UNITED STATES, THEY ARE HAPPY TO DO IT. THEY WANT TO BRING JOY AND HAPPINESS TO THEIR COUNTRY, TO THEIR PEOPLE FOR AT LEAST 90 MINUTES. IN THE FIFA PRESS CONFERENCE, THEY ASKED FOR NO POLITICAL QUESTIONS. I WORK SPECTRE TO BE DOWN ONE PLAYER DUE TO A HAMSTRING ISSUE? THE FEELING I GOT FROM DARREN IS THAT IT LOOKS UNLIKELY. HE WILL BE A LOSS. THERE IS A SQUAD OF 26. I THINK HE WILL PLAY, BECAUSE HE WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR THE GAMES TO COME AS WELL. COME ON, THE ALL WHITES. NOT ALL HEROES WHERE CAPES. AND THE COVERAGE STARTS TODAY AT 12pm. JOIN US ON TV1 AND TVNZ+ FOR ALL THE ANALYSIS AND BUILD UP. JOIN US ON TV1 AND TVNZ+ FOR ALL THE ANALYSIS AND BUILD UP. E WHAI AKE NEI ` LABOUR LEADER CHRIS HIPKINS IS FLYING HIGH IN THE POLLS. HE'S UP NEXT AS HIS PARTY'S COSTINGS COME UNDER SCRUTINY, AND WHAT'S THE ONE THING NICOLA WILLIS DARES HIM TO SAY? WE'LL ASK AFTER THE BREAK. (SHAKIRA'S 'WAKA WAKA') (JAUNTY MUSIC) Perfect Italiano is perfect for that. And Perfect Italiano is perfect for that. Um...not so good for that. (SNAP!) But for mouthwatering pizza every time, Perfect Italiano is perfect for that. Just like new. Yeah, tell them what happened to the car. That was a mystery. Who is this reversing prodigy from Ranui? Some say a generational talent. generational talent. Where did that come from? A total mystery. Oh no, who put that there? He's such a mystery. Such a mystery. But I had already made the big switch to Tower, car's good as new. VOICEOVER: Why switch? VOICEOVER: Because the juggle is real and the mum guilt is too. Give more love than humanly possible, when you feed one of Hill's scientifically proven formulas because you're only human, there's Hill's. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. HERE'S WHAT'S MAKING NEWS THIS MORNING ` U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS TALKING UP THE PEACE DEAL WITH IRAN AND SAYS SHIPS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO MOVE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. WELLINGTON'S NEW WATER SERVICE HAS REVEALED HOW MUCH MORE PEOPLE WILL BE PAYING UNDER THEIR MANAGEMENT. THE WHITE FERNS KNOW THEY HAVE SOME SHARPENING UP TO DO AHEAD OF TAKING ON SRI LANKA IN T20 WORLD CUP TOMORROW. PRIME MINISTER CHRISTOPHER LUXON HAS REVEALED HE'S ASKED HIS STAFF FOR ADVICE ON MP PERKS. IT FOLLOWS REPORTS THAT MILLIONS HAVE BEEN SPENT OVER THE PAST DECADE SUBSIDISING TRAVEL, SUCH AS CROWN LIMOS FOR FORMER POLITICIANS. I'VE ASKED MY OFFICE TO GET MORE ADVICE ON THAT BECAUSE IT IS A VERY COMPLEX AREA THAT IS ACTUALLY BUILT UP OVER MANY DECADES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND I'VE BEEN ASKED TO SEEK FURTHER ADVICE IN ORDER TO GIVE US MORE CLARITY AND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE GOT TO ON SOME OF THESE ISSUES. TO DISCUSS THIS AND MORE, LABOUR LEADER CHRIS HIPKINS JOINS US FOR HIS WEEKLY CHAT, MORENA. WOULD YOU SUPPORT ANY PERK-BUSTING BY THE PM? I THINK HE IS LOOKING AT THE TRAVEL PROVIDED TO FORMER MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT ` THAT STOPPED IN 1999, SO IT ONLY MPS ELECTED BEFORE 1999 WHO ARE STILL ELIGIBLE FOR THAT AND I THINK IT IS HELEN CLARK WHO PUT A STOP TO IT. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT, HAPPY TO LOOK AT THAT ADVICE. WHAT ABOUT THE ANNUAL PAY THAT FORMER PM'S GET? GET MORE THAN THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR DOING NOTHING, THAT STILL EXISTS, DOESN'T IT? IT'S A PENSION. I DON'T QUALIFY FOR IT ` I WASN'T PRIME MINISTER FOR LONG ENOUGH, BUT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A LOOK AT THAT, I'M HAPPY TO SEE THE ADVICE THAT HE GETS ON THAT. DO YOU THINK THAT'S A FAIR PENSION THAT TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING UP TO $64,000 MORE THAN MINIMUM WEIGHT EACH YEAR FOR THAT? A NUMBER OF FORMER PRIME MINISTERS STILL MAKE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION ` IS ALL JUST TODAY THAT JENNY SHIPLEY WAS APPOINTED TO THE CHAIR OF THE WHITE HONEY NATIONAL TRUST. THEY STILL PLAY AN ACTIVE PUBLIC ROLE/ CORRECTION: WAITANGI NATIONAL TRUST THE POINT THAT WAS RAISED AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY ABOUT COMMUNITY SUPPORT WORKERS GETTING IT FAR LOWER MILEAGE RATE THAN MPS $0.82 PER KILOMETRE AS OPPOSED TO 1.17 CENTS PER KILOMETRE, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SQUARED, DO YOU THINK? I THINK IT SHOULD BE BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE SQUARED IN FAVOUR OF THE CARE AND SUPPORT WORKERS ` THERE IS A HECK OF A LOT MORE OF THEM IN THEIR BEING LEFT OUT OF POCKET WITH THE FUEL PRICES AND THEY ARE NOT BEING COMPENSATED FOR THEIR WORK. UNFORTUNATELY, CARE AND SUPPORT WORKERS HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND BY THIS GOVERNMENT TO BASICALLY CUT THE PAY INCREASES THEY WOULD DO TO BE GETTING. SO YOU WOULD LIFT THAT MILAGE WAIT FOR THEM AS A MATTER OF URGENCY IF YOU WERE ELECTED? WE HAVE TO SUPPORT THEIR CLAIM FOR PAY EQUITY AND WE ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN WE WANT TO PROGRESS WITH THAT, AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY THIS NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. THE SECOND IS THE BROADER TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHICH IS PART OF REGULAR BARGAINING, BUT WE ARE CERTAINLY OPEN TO LOOKING AT THAT. WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO IT, COMMITT TO THAT OUTSIDE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING OR WHATEVER? IT IS PART OF BARGAINING, ULTIMATELY. I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LOT OF PUBLIC-SECTOR BARGAINING ROUNDS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE BARGAINING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE WILL OFTEN ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF SOMETHING YOU MIGHT BE OFFERING THEM, AND THAT IS WHAT GOOD FAITH BARGAINING IS ALL ABOUT. WHAT YOU THINK MPS SHOULD GET THEIR SUPERANNUATION TOPPED UP, MORE THAN KIWISAVER? I'M THE 1ST TO ACCEPT OUR PULMONARY ARYANS GET MORE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THAT SUPERANNUATION AND OTHERS. WE SHOULD BE AIMING OVER TIME TO INCREASE THE CONTRIBUTION RATE OF ALL NEW ZEALANDERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE KIWI SAVER CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT HAVE AN ACCOUNT OF THAT THEY WANT TO DO THAT. NEW ZEALAND RETIREMENT SAVINGS ARE RELATIVELY LOW, AND WE DO NEED TO INCREASE THAT FOR ALL THE LETTERS. CORRECTION: FOR ALL NEW ZEALANDERS SHOULD WE DROP THE TAXPAYER CONTRIBUTIONS TO MP SUPER? WE SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON PROVIDING MORE SUPPORT FOR NEW ZEALANDERS. I THINK WE CAN DO A MUCH, MUCH BETTER JOB OF THAT. IF PAY EQUITY COSTS THE $11 BILLION IT SAYS IT WELL, WILL YOU REINSTATE YOUR SCHEME IN FULL? WE ARE GOING TO SET OUT VERY CLEARLY WHAT WE ARE COMMITTING TO AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT WHEN WE SITTING AT OUR OWN PAY EQUITY POLICY, BUT WE STRONGLY OPPOSE THE GOVERNMENT'S DECISION TO CANCEL A PAY EQUITY PROCESS FOR THOUSANDS OF HIS ILL AND WORKERS, INCLUDING THOSE VERY SAME CARE AND SUPPORT WORKERS THAT I JUST MENTIONED. THE GOVERNMENT HAS SENT THE MESSAGE THAT THEY ARE QUITE HAPPY TO PAY THEM LESS. I THINK WE UNDERSTAND YOUR ARGUMENTS FOR WHY YOU REINSTATED, BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD PAY $11 BILLION THAT TREASURERS SAY IT WILL COST TO REINSTATE YOUR SCHEME, JUST A YES OR NO. NICOLA WILLIS IS A PRICE ON THE TERM. CORRECTION: $11 MILLION IF THAT'S THE CASE, I'M SURE SHE WILL RELEASE THE COSTINGS. SHE JUST DID A PRESS CONFERENCE OVER THE WEEKEND SAYING WE WEREN'T RELEASING ANOTHER BUT ALLAH COSTINGS BUT SHE COULD SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND RELEASE ALL THAT INFORMATION. SHE HAS IT, IT IS SITTING ON HER DESK. SHE SAYS THAT BARBARA EDMONDS HAS IT, THAT SHE HAS THE FIGURE. WILL YOU PAY IT? JUST SAY YES! BARBARA EDMONDS DOESN'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. WILL YOU PAY IT? WELL, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT INFORMATION. THE ONLY PERSON MAKING THAT CLAIM IS NICOLA WILLIS. I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY! SO COULD I! ULTIMATELY, WE WILL SET OUT OUR OWN PAY EQUITY PLANS. THE UK HAS ANNOUNCED A SOCIAL MEDIA BAN THE KIDS. WHAT IS LABOUR'S PLAN ON THIS ISSUE? WE SAID TO THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT THAT WE DO NEED TO DO MORE AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE RISK THAT KIDS ARE BEING EXPOSED TO. WE SUPPORT THE BILL THAT THEY BOUGHT INTO THE HOUSE; THEY WITHDREW THAT BILL AND SAID THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE BUT THEY HAVEN'T TOLD US WHAT THAT IS. YOU CAN COME UP WITH YOUR OWN THING! THAT IS THE PREROGATIVE OF BEING AN OPPOSITION. YES, BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT BEFORE THE ELECTION, THEY ARE GOING TO BE INTRODUCING THE BILL AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE A PARTISAN ISSUE, NOT THE THING WE SHOULD BE CAMPAIGNING ON ` WE SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER TO GET THE RIGHT OUTCOME FOR KIWI KIDS. WE HAVE EXTENDED AN OLIVE BRANCH TO THE NATIONAL PARTY FOR THAT BUT THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN IT UP. THE FRESHWATER HORIZON POLL ` IS IT TENABLE FOR A LEADER OF A MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY TO CONTINUE IN THAT ROLE IF THEY ARE UNDER 30 DEFECIT? CORRECTION: 30 PERCENT. WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT ALL THE CRAZY IDEAS THAT WINSTON PETERS AND DAVID SEYMOUR PUT OUT THERE MORE LIKELY TO BECOME A REALITY IF THE NATIONAL PARTY POLL THAT AT CURRENT LEVELS, IS OUR MESSAGE TO KIWIS AS IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THAT, BUT LABOUR. WHERE ARE YOU WATCHING THE GAME THIS AFTERNOON? I'M HOPING TO GET BACK HOME IN TIME TO SEE IT! I'LL SEE YOU THERE, MR HIPKINS. HOPEFULLY NOT HAVING TO PULL A SICKIE WHILE HE IS AT IT. A MURI I NGA WHAKATAIRANGA ` YOUR 7.30 NEWS, SPORT AND WEATHER. (FRENETIC POP MUSIC) VOICEOVER: There's a world of chairs to choose from. But your body knows where it wants to be.

OUR U.S. CORRESPONDENT LOGAN CHURCH IS IN LA, WHERE HE'S FOUND SOME KIWIS WHO'VE MADE THE JOURNEY. MORENA, LOGAN! GOOD MORNING. THIS CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A VERY LOUD AND ENTHUSIASTIC GROUP OF NEW ZEALANDERS WHO HAVE JUST ARRIVED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THIS WORLD CUP. WE ARE MAKING FRIENDS. MY MATE, WHAT IS YOUR NAME? MIKE. WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? NAPIER. HOW MANY OF YOU? 13. IT IS 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE, AS THEY SAY. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED AHEAD OF THIS FIRST MATCH. IT LOOKS LIKE A STUNNING DAY FOR IT. FIVE PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND DOZENS MORE INJURED AFTER A LARGE-SCALE RUSSIAN ATTACK ON UKRAINE. THE LATEST STRIKES ON KYIV SET A NEARBY APARTMENT BUILDING AND A RELIGIOUS LANDMARK ALIGHT. FIVE RESCUERS FOUGHT TO CONTAIN THE FIRE FROM EARLIER ATTACKS, WHEN A SECOND STRIKE TARGETED THE BUILDING AND KILLED THEM. IT FOLLOWS THREE DEATHS FROM A UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACK ON RUSSIA. RUSSIA S DEFENSE MINISTRY SAYS IT DOWNED MORE THAN 100 UKRAINIAN DRONES ON TULA OVERNIGHT, WHERE AT LEAST THREE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE WERE INJURED IN THE STRIKES, INCLUDING A 12-MONTH-OLD BABY. AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE IS ON THE AGENDA AS WORLD LEADERS MEET AT THE G7 SUMMIT IN FRANCE. THE UNITED STATES' PEACE DEAL WITH IRAN WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED IN DEPTH AS U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP JOINS LEADERS FROM CANADA, THE UK, FRANCE, ITALY AND GERMANY. TRUMP HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN CRITICAL OF A LACK OF SUPPORT FROM HIS G7 COUNTERPARTS OVER THE WAR IN IRAN. QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RAISED IN AUSTRALIA AROUND WHAT COULD HAVE PROTECTED A YOUNG MOTHER MAULED BY A SHARK AT COOGEE BEACH. CHANNEL NINES ANNALISE BOLT HAS MORE.

WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOUTH AUSTRALIA FIRST. WHAT IS IT ABOUT SOUTH AUSTRALIA THAT KEEPS WINNING PEOPLE OVER? WE LOVE DESTINATIONS THAT CELEBRATE FOOD, PRODUCE, GREAT WINE, AND THE PEOPLE. SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND THE BARRASSO VALLEY ARE ONE OF THOSE PLACES. EASY TO GET TO, AIR NEW ZEALAND FLYING OUT OF AUCKLAND NOW OUT OF CHRISTCHURCH TWICE A WEEK AS WELL AS QANTAS AND QATAR AIRWAYS FROM AUCKLAND AS WELL. WE HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL PROPERTIES UP THAT WAY, BUT THE KEY IS THAT BOURASSA HAS A HOTEL THAT IS THE OLD DROVERS RUN. FOR ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE AT HOME, A FULL YELLOWSTONE. IT IS ACTUALLY LIKE THAT WHEN YOU SEE THE KANGAROOS BOUNCING AROUND. HOPPING. WE LOVE THE BOURASSA. IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES YOU CAN DO WINETASTING BY HELICOPTER. A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GO AND TRY THINGS LIKE PENDANT FOLDS, SMALLBATCH WINERY TOURS FROM ADELAIDE. OF COURSE, WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO GO TO A DESTINATION THAT CELEBRATES FOOD AND WINE. IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A HELICOPTER JOURNEY, YOU CAN GO FOR A JOURNEY BEYOND RAIL. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? JOURNEY BEYOND OUR WONDERFUL PARTNERS OF WORLD TRAVELERS, AND THEY OWN PRETTY MUCH EVERY ICONIC TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IN AUSTRALIA. IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA, THEY OWNED THE PRIDE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, WHICH IS OVER 3000 KM OF RAIL JOURNEY FROM ADELAIDE TO NORTHERN TERRITORY. LUXURY, BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND ALL-INCLUSIVE. WHAT WE LOVE THE MOST ABOUT IT IS PRIVATE SUITES, FINE DINING, ALL-INCLUSIVE, AND YOU VISIT THAT BEAUTIFUL, ICONIC OUTBACK AND CELEBRATE THAT SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND FOOD AND WINE WHILE YOU ARE THERE. IT IS ICONIC AND OF COURSE WHAT WE ALSO LOVE WITH JOURNEY BEYOND IS A NEW PRODUCT THAT LAUNCHED THIS YEAR, A SAFARI RESORT. REMEMBER BURMA FROM AUCKLAND ZOO? SHE WENT THERE, AND SHE IS PART OF THEIR NEW ELEPHANT SAFARI. IT IS THE LARGEST PARK OUTSIDE OF AFRICA, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO ALL THAT WAY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA HAS IT RIGHT ON ITS DOORSTEP AND IT IS OF COURSE ABOUT CONSERVATION FIRST, TOURISM SECOND. WE LOVE THE RESORT, IT HAS 78 BEAUTIFUL HOTEL ROOMS, AND ULTRALUXURY GLAMPING TENTS. LET'S TALK ABOUT SEABORNE, AM I SAYING THAT CORRECTLY? A WORLD TRAVELERS FAVORITE.

HEAD TO winwithbreakfast.co.nz NOW TO ENTER AND WELL BE ANNOUNCING THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. AND WELL BE ANNOUNCING THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. AFTER MONTHS OF WAR AND FEARS OF A WIDER MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT, THE U.S. AND IRAN ARE NOW PREPARING TO SIGN WHAT COULD BE A MAJOR PEACE DEAL. IT COULD REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, EASE PRESSURE ON OIL PRICES, AND STOP MILITARY OPERATIONS ACROSS THE REGION, INCLUDING IN LEBANON. BUT THERE ARE BIG QUESTIONS THIS MORNING OVER WHETHER IT WILL HOLD, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME. FOREIGN MINISTER WINSTON PETERS JOINS US NOW. MORENA. IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HEARD A DEAL IS IMMINENT. IS IT DIFFERENT THIS TIME, DO YOU BELIEVE THE WAR IS OVER? ON 7 APRIL, SECRETARY OF STATE RUBIO LAID OUT WHAT THE PLAN WAS AND WITHIN TWO HOURS THEY ANNOUNCE THAT. IN MAY WE HAD A LONG CONVERSATION WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTER FOR IRAN, AND HE LAID OUT WHAT HIS CONCERNS WERE, AND HERE WE ARE, TALKING ABOUT A DEAL WHICH IS NOT A DEAL YET. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DETAILS OF WHICH WE DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN ASPECTS WE ARE VERY, VERY INTRIGUED TO FIND OUT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE CRITICAL ABOUT WHETHER THIS IS SUCCESSFUL GOING FORWARD. IT IS A MATTER OF SUPER CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM AS TO WHAT MAY BE HAPPENING. SOME OF THOSE HARDEST ISSUES HAVE BEEN KICKED DOWN THE ROAD, HAVEN'T THEY? DO YOU THINK THAT THE WORLD IS WORSE OFF THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE PRESIDENT TORE UP OBAMA'S DEAL WITH IRAN? I DON'T THINK OBAMA'S NUCLEAR DEAL WAS WORKING BECAUSE THE IRANIANS WERE IN ABIDING BY IT. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. LET'S MOVE INTO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. THE QUESTIONS YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE CONCERNING FOR THE WORLD, THERE IS A NUCLEAR CAPABILITY OF IRAN AND THEY HAVE THAT POSSIBILITY. ALL OF THOSE SORTS OF THINGS HAVE TO BE SORTED OUT. WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT WHAT WE SAY AT THIS POINT IN TIME. KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. IT IS A VERY, VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND HAS, IN THE CASE OF IRAN, ASPECTS ABOUT IT WHICH GO BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN THEIR CONSIDERATION OF HOW THEY SEE THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE STRAIGHT OF HORMUZ, AND THE U.S. PRESIDENT SAYING THAT SHIPS ARE ARTY STARTING TO MOVE. IS THAT THE ADVICE THAT YOU ARE GETTING AS WELL FROM YOUR OFFICIALS? WELL, YES. THEY ARE STARTING TO MOVE AND WILL TAKE 20 DAYS TO GET TO WHEREVER THEY ARE GOING TO GO. THEY'RE GOING TO ASIA THAN THEY ARE GOING TO COME BACK. I WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GO BACK ABOUT ISSUES LIKE POTENTIAL INSURANCE, AND ALL THOSE THINGS WILL DEPEND UPON WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A DEAL THAT BOTH SIDES ARE PREPARED TO KEEP. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A DEAL THAT HAS NOT BEEN RECKONED YET. ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT IRAN MIGHT PUT SOME SORT OF TOLLING SYSTEM IN PLACE IN THE STRAIGHT OF HORMUZ AND OTHERS COSTS THAT MIGHT BE PASSED ON TO NEW ZEALANDERS? THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE MASSIVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE LAW OF THE SEA AND THE RIGHT OF FREE TRANSIT ACROSS THE` IT IS A CRITICAL` WE DON'T WANT TO COMPROMISE THE UN` I THINK WE ARE FREEZING A LITTLE BIT THERE, MINISTER. WE MIGHT JUST CUT OUT NOW AND SEE IF WE CAN SORT OUT THOSE TECHNICAL ISSUES AND COME BACK TO YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE STILL FREEZING. APOLOGIES. WE WILL TRY TO COME BACK TO HIM SHORTLY. A BIT OF TECHNICAL ISSUES. E WHAI AKE NEI ` A NEW DOCUMENTARY SERIES UNCOVERING THE STRANGE AND SHOCKING STORY BEHIND A LUXURY DOG RETREAT IS RELEASED TODAY, AND WE'RE SPEAKING TO THE JOURNALIST BEHIND IT AFTER THE BREAK.

What's a boxxcost? Nah. $4.99. La la la la la... VOICEOVER: All this for $4.99. # FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME AGAIN LET'S GO BACK TO FOREIGN MINISTER WINSTON PETERS WHO WE LOST THERE. APOLOGIES FOR THAT, HOW SOON, JUST TRY TO PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF, HOW QUICKLY DO YOU THINK FUEL PRICES WILL COME DOWN IN NEW ZEALAND AS A RESULT OF THIS TENTATIVE PEACE DEAL? I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THE HAIRCUT IS BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM RUN BY AI. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AS TO WHEN THE FUEL PRICES WILL COME DOWN, I THINK WE WILL BE WAITING THE AUGUST TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. THE NATURE OF THE OIL SUPPLY BUSINESS, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN, HOW CAN I SAY, MILKING OF THE CUSTOMERS, SO TO SPEAK. WE WILL DO OUR UTMOST TO MAKE SURE THEY REMAIN HONEST IN TERMS OF THE PRICING SYSTEM FOR THE NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER. WHAT IS IT THAT NEW ZEALAND FIRST WILL BE DOING TO ENSURE THAT THOSE OIL COMPANIES HERE PASS ON THE REDUCTION IN COST TO CONSUMERS AS QUICKLY AS THEY PASSED ON THOSE HIKES? THE QUESTION IS, WE NEED A GROUP DOING SURVEILLANCE ON AN HOURLY BASIS, BASICALLY, OF WORLDWIDE COSTS, INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS AND SEEING WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE GETTING A FAIR DEAL HERE. THERE HAVE BEEN PASSED OCCASIONS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ENORMOUSLY LAX ON THAT MATTER. WE HAVE BEEN LAX ON MATTERS SUCH AS ENERGY SUPPLY, POWER COMPANIES, THE WHOLE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN UNACCOUNTABLE FURTHER FAR TOO LONG, BECAUSE SOME DON'T WANT THERE TO BE CLOSE SCRUTINY BECAUSE IT WILL RUIN THE PROFIT MARGINS. BEFORE YOU GO, I WANT TO PLAY YOU SOMETHING DAVID SEYMOUR SAID ON BREAKFAST YESTERDAY. WOULD YOU BE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT WAS RUN BY WINSTON PETERS WITH HIM AS PRIME MINISTER? I THINK IT IS PRETTY UNLIKELY. I HAVE WATCHED THEM UP CLOSE AND HE IS A CHARMING GUY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WORK VERY WELL. YOU DON'T LOOK IS PREMISED ON MATERIAL? NO. YOU ARE CHARMING, BUT NOT PRIME MINISTER MATERIAL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT? AS MANDY RICE DAVIES SAID IN THE PROFUMO AFFAIR, HE WOULD SAY THAT, WOULDN'T HE? WHO CHARGE THAT REPORTED TO ASKING THE QUESTION THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE? IN THE THIRD THING ` MR SEYMOUR, YOU WILL NOT BE DECIDING THAT. I CAN ONLY ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION, YOU HAVE A JOURNALIST GOING TO ASK SOMETHING LIKE THAT, HE IS NOT NEGOTIATING FOR NEW ZEALAND FIRST. WE HAVE GOT HERE WITHOUT HIM. YOU DON'T THINK DAVID SEYMOUR'S PRIME MINISTERIAL MATERIAL EITHER? (LAUGHS) THIS BUSINESS OF POLICY IS DEADLY SERIOUS, IT IS BASED ON THE CAPACITY OF PEOPLE IN OUR PRE-POLITICAL LIFE AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. IN THE END, THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE THAT, AN OUTLET IN NEW ZEALAND, THE PEOPLE ARE FACING A COST OF LIVING CRISIS AND ONE PARTY ALONE IS SEEKING TO DEAL WITH IT PROPERLY, AND YOU ARE SPEAKING TO THAT PARTY AND THAT PERSON. THAT SIGNATURE CHUCKLE TELLS US HOW DEADLY SERIOUS THESE POLITICAL MATTERS ARE. WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A NEW CONTROVERSIAL DOCUMENTARY CALLED... NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. WE ARE GOING TO HEAD TO THE NEWS VERY QUICKLY, STILL TO COME ON BREAKFAST THIS MORNING ` WOULD YOU SUPPORT A 'GOOD SAMARITAN' BILL TO LEGALLY PROTECT PEOPLE WHO CALL 111 IN THE EVENT OF A DRUG OVERDOSE? MORE ON THIS NEXT. ALSO AHEAD ` WE SPEAK TO A TEENAGE AUTHOR REPRESENTING NEW ZEALAND IN A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO GET KIDS READING. AND WE'LL CHECK OUT THE PRE-MATCH DIE-HARDS READY TO GET THE ALL WHITES' FIFA WORLD CUP STARTED. IT'S 8 O'CLOCK. HERE'S THE NEWS. ALL THE COVERAGE FROM MIDDAY ON TVNZ. IT IS A LARGE DAY IN LOS ANGELES, WE WILL CROSS LATER. IT ALSO MEANS JUST FOUR HOURS TO GO. U.S. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE IS CONFIDENT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL REOPEN TOLL-FREE FOR THE LONG-TERM. AND THAT IN TURN WILL LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN OIL PRICES, BUT SPEAKING AFTER THE U.S. AND IRAN AGREED A PEACE DEAL, VANCE ADMITS THERE'S STILL A LOT TO BE FINALISED BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES. A LOT OF THESE DETAILS ARE GONNA BE FIGURED OUT DURING THOSE 60-DAY TALKS. WE FEEL QUITE CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE IN A STRONG POSITION HERE. FUNDAMENTALLY, WE HAVE THE LEVERAGE ` WE HAVE THE DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY LEVERAGE ` BUT WE ARE ALSO EXTENDING AN OPEN HAND TO THE IRANIANS, AND SAYING, 'IF YOU GUYS NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH AND YOU MAKE THAT 'LONG-TERM COMMITMENT NOT TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS, 'THEN WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR COUNTRY IS SUCCESSFUL.' VANCE'S COMMENTS COME AS U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ARRIVES IN FRANCE, WHERE HE WILL DISCUSS THE SITUATION WITH EUROPEAN LEADERS AT THE G7 SUMMIT. A NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAS DIED IN A MAJOR POLICE MIX-UP IN PAKISTAN. CHANNEL NINES AMBER WILKINSON HAS MORE. SMILING AND HAPPY, PRECIOUS FAMILY MOMENTS NOW MEMORIES. THIS IS HANIA AHMED.

HANIA AHMED HAS BEEN LAID TO REST. AUSTRALIA'S PAKISTANI COMMUNITY IN SHOCK. LABOUR LEADER CHRIS HIPKINS SAYS NEW ZEALAND'S RETIREMENT SAVINGS ARE LOW BY INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND NEED TO INCREASE. THE COMMENTS COME AFTER PRIME MINISTER CHRISTOPHER LUXON ASKED FOR ADVICE ON MP PERKS, FOLLOWING REPORTS THAT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT OVER THE PAST DECADE SUBSIDISING TRAVEL AND BENEFITS SUCH AS CROWN LIMOUSINES FOR FORMER POLITICIANS. ON BREAKFAST, HIPKINS AGREES MPS RECEIVE MORE GENEROUS RETIREMENT-RELATED PERKS THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT CHANGED OVER TIME. HE SAYS THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR NEW ZEALANDERS IN PREPARING THEM FOR RETIREMENT. WE'RE JUST HOURS OUT FROM THE ALL WHITES' RETURN TO THE FIFA WORLD CUP. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS FOR NEW ZEALAND, THEIR LAST APPEARANCE BACK IN 2010. WORLD CUP REPORTER ZION DAYAL JOINS US FROM LOS ANGELES. ZION, HOW ARE THE TEAM SHAPING UP? TOVA, THE 16 YEAR WAIT IS ALMOST OVER. IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE ALL WHITES WILL RETURN TO THE WORLD STAGE.

HE IS EXPECTED TO MISS THE FIRST GAME YESTERDAY. I SPOKE TO CHRIS WOOD YESTERDAY, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GUYS IN THE TEAM THAT ARE MAKING THE WORLD CUP DEBUT. FOR A LOT OF THEM, THIS IS A BIG OCCASION. THE STADIUM BEHIND ME IS MASSIVE. WORLD CUP FEVER HAS TAKEN OVER THE USA, AND HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE YOUNGER PLAYERS DON'T PLAY THE OCCASION BUT PLAY THE GAME, KEEP LEVELHEADED, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE IS A FOOTBALL GAME TO WIN. THE PATCH IS LOOKING PRISTINE. THE STADIUM, I JUST CAN'T GET OVER IT. IT IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY, VERY SOON, THE ALL WHITES WILL BE PLAYING THEIR FIRST GAME AND A WORLD CUP SINCE 2010. THAT IS GOING TO BE A HECK OF A TASK TO STAY FOCUSED WHEN YOU ARE IN SUCH AN ALL INSPIRING STADIUM LIKE THAT. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MARKETS.

MORNING FROSTS IN QUEENSTOWN AND DUNEDIN, STRONG NORTH-WEST WINDS IN MILFORD SOUND. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 13 IN GREYMOUTH. A NEW TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARY SERIES EXPLORING ONE OF WELLINGTON'S STRANGEST MYSTERIES IS RELEASED TODAY. IT TAKES A LOOK AT THE CONTROVERSIAL 'WOOFINGTON'S' ` A LUXURY DOG RETREAT OPERATING OUT OF A CASTLE WHICH WAS RAIDED BY POLICE IN 2019, LEAVING MANY TO WONDER WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING BEHIND ITS DOORS. NOW, JOURNALIST BAZ MACDONALD HAS SPENT A YEAR DIGGING INTO THE BIZARRE STORY, UNCOVERING A TRAIL INVOLVING EXPLOSIVES, DRUGS, VIOLENCE, AND A HISTORY FAR STRANGER THAN ANYONE EXPECTED. BAZ JOINS US NOW FROM WELLINGTON. GOOD MORNING! HECK OF A TRAILER, BAZ. FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE STORY, WHY DID IT CAPTURE SO MUCH ATTENTION? IT'S A STRANGE ENOUGH SITUATION ALREADY, YOU HAVE THIS CASTLE THAT WAS BUILT IN THE HILLS OF WELLINGTON THAT WAS ALREADY A FEATURE OF THE CITY. AND THEN IN 2015 IT WAS OPENED AS A LUXURY DOG RETREAT, WHICH IS AN INTERESTING MOVE AND IT HAD BECOME AN ODDITY AROUND THE CITY. ALREADY, IT HAD DISMISSED IT, AND THEN SUDDENLY IN 2019 THERE IS THE RAID BY ARMED POLICE. IT CERTAINLY CAPTURE THE ATTENTION OF WELLINGTON, WONDERING WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. PLEASE RATE USUALLY SETS UP THE ALARM BELLS, WHAT MADE YOU THINK THE ACTUAL MIGHT BE SOMETHING MORE GOING ON BEYOND THAT? IT WASN'T JUST THE RIGHT. THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WERE REPORTED ON OVER THE YEARS INCLUDING IN 2020 THERE WAS AN ARMED BURGLARY ON THE PROPERTY THAT ENDED UP IN A POLICE CHASE UP THE WRONG END OF THE MOTORWAY RIGHT OUT TO JOHNSONVILLE. THINGS KEPT COMING UP AND WE NEVER REALLY HAD ANY SOLID ANSWERS ABOUT WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF IT WAS. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE STORIES I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD. I NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND HOW ALL OF THIS COULD HAPPEN AND THIS ONE PLACE. YOU SPENT A YEAR INVESTIGATING THIS. WASN'T ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE AT EVERY TURN, YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT ELSE YOU CAME UP WITH? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE SURFACE LEVEL THINGS THAT WE FOUND AS PART OF THE DOCUMENTARY, BUT WE WERE SURPRISED BY HOW DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE ENDED UP GOING. THE STORY ENDED UP TAKING US RIGHT TO THE 60S AND 70S OF WELLINGTON. IT WAS QUITE A JOURNEY IN THE END. NO SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY. BUT HOW SHOCKED WE ARE BY THE FINDINGS AND WHAT YOU THINK THE VIEWERS WILL FIND MOST SHOCKING ABOUT THIS? AGAIN, NO SPOILERS, BUT ONE THING I CAN SHARE BECAUSE IT WAS SORT OF PUBLICISED AT THE TIME IS THAT WHEN THE POLICE DID THAT RAID, THEY NEVER ANNOUNCED WHAT IT WAS THAT THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY SEARCHING FOR, BUT THEY DID SHARE THAT INCIDENTALLY, THEY FOUND TWO BOMBS ON THE PROPERTY. I MEAN, AGAIN, THESE OTHER SURFACE LEVEL FINDINGS, THE THINGS WE WENT INTO THIS INVESTIGATION KNOWING WE WERE GOING TO FIND, AND THAT PROBABLY ISN'T EVEN THE MOST SHOCKING THING WE DISCOVERED ALONG THE WAY. A CASTLE ON THE HILL, IT IS QUITE A UNBELIEVABLE SETTING, REALLY. DOESN'T MAKE YOU THINK THERE MUST BE OTHER WILD STORIES IN OUR BACKYARD? ABSOLUTELY. AS WE DELVED INTO THE STORY, I DID KEEP STOPPING AND HAVING THOSE MOMENTS, BEING LIKE, THIS IS HAPPENING IN WELLINGTON... THESE OTHER SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE ASSOCIATE WITH INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY KIND OF STORIES, AND IT'S LIKE YES, BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, BUT WHEN YOU START TO UNCOVER THOSE KINDS OF WILD STORIES IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, YOU DO START TO WONDER, HOW MANY OF THESE WEIRD, WILD WORRYING STORIES ARE THE OUT THERE JUST WAITING TO BE UNCOVERED? LOOKS LIKE A FABULOUS WATCH. BAZ MCDONALD, JOURNALIST. THE DOCUMENTARY IS OUT TODAY ON TVNZ PLUS, RIGHT? SHOULD BE OUT RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU, BAZ. LOVELY TO CHAT. THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. IF YOU ARE TAKING A SICKIE TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL, YOU CAN WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY AFTERWARDS. ONE OF MY FRIENDS TEXTED IN TO SAY THAT WHEN WE ASKED CHRIS HIPKINS IF HE WAS GOING TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL, HE SAID, YES, I'M GOING TO HEAD HOME AND WATCH THE GAME. IT IS SCRUTINEER WEEK AT PARLIAMENT EX-MAKER MARK YOU ARE THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION! YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT YOUR COUNTRY. SOMEONE SAID THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THEIR STAFF MEMBERS TIME OFF. HE SAID THAT LAST WEEK SOME OF HIS EMPLOYEES HAD A COUGH. THE SICK LEAVE REQUESTS HAVE BEEN RESCINDED. I LOVE A LONG GAME, I ALSO LOVE THIS ONE FROM KATE. I AM NOT TAKING A SICKIE TODAY, BUT I LET MY MANAGING ABSENTEEISM COURSE, THAT IF YOU HANG YOUR HEAD OFF THE BED WHEN YOU CALL IN SICK, IT SOUNDS THAT YOU ACTUALLY... IT'S KIND OF TRUE, ISN'T IT? TELL US YOUR VIEW ` EMAIL US AT BREAKFAST@TVNZ.CO.NZ TODAY IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE FEEDBACK ON A LAW CHANGE THAT WOULD LEGALLY PROTECT THOSE WHO SEEK EMERGENCY HELP DURING A DRUG OVERDOSE. GREEN MP KAHURANGI CARTER'S 'GOOD SAMARITAN' OVERDOSE PROTECTIONS BILL AIMS TO SAVE LIVES BY REMOVING A KEY BARRIER TO CALLING FOR HELP. IN A MOMENT WE'LL SPEAK TO THE NEW ZEALAND DRUG FOUNDATION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SARAH HELM. BUT FIRST, YESTERDAY I SPOKE WITH SHELLEY O'DWYER, WHO LOST HER SON JACOB IN A DRUG-RELATED ACCIDENT NEARLY THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS AGO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SPEAKING WITH US TODAY, SHELLEY. NICE TO BE HERE. CAN YOU START BY MAYBE TELLING US A BIT ABOUT YOUR SON JACOB? YEAH. SO JACOB WAS 24. HE WAS CONFIDENT. HE WAS EASYGOING. HE WAS OUTGOING AND HE WAS HAPPY AND POSITIVE. HE WAS A LOCAL GYM INSTRUCTOR AND HE LOVED HELPING PEOPLE WITH THEIR FITNESS. FRIENDS DESCRIBED JACOB AS KIND, CARING AND CHEEKY. JACOB HAD SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR. 24 YEARS OLD AS WELL. YEAH. SO PROFOUNDLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, SHELLEY. THANKS. WITHIN THE REALMS OF WHAT YOU'RE COMFORTABLE SAYING, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED WITH JACOB? YEAH. SO IT WAS DECEMBER THE 30TH, 2022. JACOB WAS AT HIS APARTMENT, AND HE DECIDED TO PARTY EARLY FOR NEW YEAR'S, HIS FAVOURITE HOLIDAY. HE TOOK LSD WITH A FRIEND AND HE WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. THEN HIS MOOD CHANGED AND HE WENT RUNNING FROM HIS APARTMENT. HIS FRIEND DOWNSTAIRS WENT RUNNING AFTER HIM AND SAW THAT HE WAS HOT, CLAMMY AND CALLING HER A DIFFERENT NAME. SHE NOTICED HE WAS UNWELL AND THEN HE LAY DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SHE WAS DIRECTING TRAFFIC AROUND HIM, AND THEN SHE GOT HIM UP AND HE SAID TO HER, 'I NEED TO GO FOR A RUN.' SO HE RAN AWAY FROM HER. SHE LOST HIM. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT HE RAN OVER THE GATE OR JUMPED OVER A FENCE. AND THEN NEXT MINUTE WE HEARD FROM CCTV THAT HE ACTUALLY HAD JUMPED OVER SYMONDS STREET BRIDGE AND LANDED IN THE OVERPASS. HE WAS FOUND THE NEXT NIGHT BY THE POLICE. SO IT WAS REALLY AWFUL THAT ONE MINUTE MY SON WAS THERE AND THE NEXT MINUTE HE WASN'T. IT WAS THE WORST NIGHTMARE A PARENT CAN GO THROUGH AND WE'RE HAVING TO LIVE WITH THIS EVERY DAY, THIS GRIEF. A BIT OF TIME HAS PASSED. YES. AND SO YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS NOW. YES. BUT AS YOU SAY, GRIEF IS FOREVER. SO THIS IS INCREDIBLY COURAGEOUS... YES. ...TALKING TO US TODAY, WHAT'S MOTIVATING YOU TO SPEAK UP? OK, I NEED TO SPEAK UP TO OBVIOUSLY SAVE LIVES. TO BRING THE AWARENESS THAT IF WE RING AN AMBULANCE STRAIGHT AWAY, THAT WE CAN SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES. BECAUSE IN JACOB'S INSTANCE, WE COULD HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE. I DEFINITELY FEEL THAT. THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK ` IF THIS LEGISLATION HAD BEEN IN PLACE... YES. ... IT COULD'VE SAVED HIS LIFE. YES. THIS LEGISLATION AND THE AWARENESS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY, OR THE PUBLIC, THAT STRAIGHT AWAY, IF A PERSON IS UNWELL, PLEASE CALL AN AMBULANCE. YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE. YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY HARD TO LIVE WITH 'WHAT IFS'. WHAT IF SHE HAD CALLED AN AMBULANCE? YOU KNOW THE SADNESS, THE ANGER THAT I GO THROUGH. BUT I HAVE TO LET THE ANGER GO BECAUSE IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY. SO I JUST NEED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND HAVE A CAUSE FOR MYSELF AND JACOB AND JACOB'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY. AND THIS IS JACOBS LEGACY. YOU NEED TO HAVE A BUDDY SYSTEM. HIS FAVOURITE CAT WAS BUDDY, SO WE NEED TO HAVE A BUDDY SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE SAFE AND JUST CALL AN AMBULANCE STRAIGHT AWAY IF YOU'RE IN DOUBT. SAVE LIVES. INCREDIBLY BRAVE TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT LOSING HER CHILD LIKE THAT TO TRY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. MORENA, SARAH. MORENA, SARAH. FIRSTLY, HOW OFTEN DO TRAGIC STORIES LIKE JACOB'S TAKE PLACE? WE ARE LOSING THREE NEW ZEALANDERS EVERY WEEK TO ENTIRELY PREVENTABLE OVERDOSE FATALITIES. I SPOKE TO PARENTS AND PEOPLE HAVE HAD NON-FATAL OVERDOSES AND THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT THIS LAW WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE HESITATE FOR CALLING FOR HELP BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID THAT THEMSELVES OR THE PERSON THAT HAS OVERDOSED WILL END UP GETTING IN TROUBLE, AND SO, IT IS THOSE DELAYS OR LACK OF CALLING THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE RETICENT TO CALLING AN OVERDOSE AND THAT THIS COULD SAVE LIVES? WE KNOW IT FROM A RANGE OF REASONS ALL OF THOSE LOVED ONES I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE THEMSELVES, ALSO, WE DID SOME RESEARCH AS WELL ` 40% OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WOULD BE HESITANT TO CALL FOR HELP IN THE SITUATION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ADDICTION OR ALONG EXPERIENCE OF USING DRUGS, IT COULD BE YOUR FIRST TIME. IF THAT IS YOUR LOVED ONE, YOU WANT NOTHING STANDING IN THE WAY OF THEM GETTING HELP. WHAT WITH THIS LEGISLATION DO EXACTLY? PEOPLE WILL BE PROTECTED IN A SITUATION WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN OVERDOSE OR OTHER ACUTE HARM LIKE JACOB'S SITUATION, FROM LOW-LEVEL PROSECUTIONS, SO THINGS LIKE DRUG POSSESSION OR DRUG USE, THEY WOULDN'T BE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION FOR THAT. THAT WILL HELP TO REMOVE THE RESISTANCE IN MOST CASES. SHOULDN'T THIS BE HAPPENING NOW AFTER THE MENTAL HEALTH ENQUIRY AND THE ONUS ON POLICE, THE DISCRETION AROUND THOSE LOWER-LEVEL DRUG CHARGES, SHOULDN'T THIS BE HAPPENING ALREADY? ONE OF THE ISSUES AS MORE TRUST AND FEAR THEN PROSECUTION. IT IS MOSTLY THE FEAR THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE, SO DRAWING A REALLY CLEAR LINE AROUND IT, PARTICULARLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO OVERDOSE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO JUST REMOVE THAT DOUBT AND REMOVE THE FRICTION OR THE FEAR OF CALLING. IS AT 20 PAST? DOES IT HAVE THE NUMBERS? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL ROADBLOCKS HERE? IT HAS PASSED ITS FIRST READING. TODAY IS A CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS SO BEFORE MIDNIGHT, THERE IS INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE ON HOW TO SUBMIT. BASICALLY, THE SELECT COMMITTEE WILL DEBATE SOME OF THE CONTENT OF THE BILL AND IT WILL RETURN TO PARLIAMENT. IN THE FIRST READING, WE SAW PARTIES FROM ACROSS PARLIAMENT VOTING FOR IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE, AND WE HOPE THAT THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WE WILL SEE GOOD SUPPORT FOR IT. SARAH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND DRUG FOUNDATION. AFTER SPEAKING TO SHELLEY YESTERDAY, I HAVE GOT TO SAY, ABSOLUTE NO-BRAINER. IF THE POLICE ARE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY, BUT IF THIS HELPS SAVE LIVES THEN DO IT, GET ON WITH IT. TODAY IS THE BIG DAY; IT'S THE ALL WHITES' FIRST GAME IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP. SO HOW ARE FANS CELEBRATING? OUR REPORTER LUCY BENDELL IS OUT AND ABOUT TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING! MORENA, LUCE. THE GAME MIGHT BE FIVE HOURS AWAY, BUT ACTION IS BUILDING HERE AT TYLER STREET. THESE FANS ARE HERE NICE AND EARLY. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ALL THE EXCITEMENT AFTER THE BREAK AND SPEAK TO A FORMAL WHITE. Oh, oh and he finds the gap. And he throws. VOICEOVER: Earthwise with naturally derived enzymes to deliver uncompromising results. Incoming! Wow. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. IT'S THE ALL WHITES' FIRST GAME IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP TODAY. KICK OFF AGAINST IRAN IS AT 1PM, AND TO CELEBRATE, AUCKLAND FC AND NEW ZEALAND FOOTBALL ARE TEAMING UP TO HOST THE ULTIMATE FIFA WATCH PARTY, WHERE REPORTER LUCY BENDELL IS THIS MORNING. LUCY, THE QUESTION I WANT TO ASK THE FANS BEHIND YOU IS, HAVE THEY BEEN GIVEN THE DAY OFF TO WATCH THE GAME OR ARE THEY PULLING A SICKIE? THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY EXACT QUESTION TO THEM. AND I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S JUST FOR THE FIRST GAME OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE CONTINUING THROUGHOUT THE TOURNAMENT. WE ARE AT TYLER STREET BAR, THE ATMOSPHERE IS BUILDING, WE ARE FIVE HOURS AWAY TILL THE GAME. THIS BAR WILL BE FULL OF FOOTBALL FANS, IT IS VERY EXCITING. THE FIRST GAME IN 16 YEARS. I AM JOINED BY FORMER ALL-WHITE IVAN VICELICH. YOU AND THE WORLD CUP 2010, WHAT WITH THOSE PLAYERS BE FEELING TODAY? THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY EXCITED. A FEW NERVES OUT THERE. BUT THE PREPARATION HAS GONE REALLY WELL. THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER TWO OR THREE WEEKS, COUPLE FRIENDLY GAMES UNDER THEIR BELTS. SO THEY WILL KNOW THE PROCESS THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. HOPEFULLY, THEY CAN FOCUS FOR THAT, AND ONCE AT FIRST WHISTLE GOES, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FOOTBALL. HAVE EVEN SPEAKING TO ANYTHING? IS IT EXCITEMENT OR NERVES? THEY ARE FOCUSING ON THE FOOTBALL. ONCE THEY ARE IN THE BUBBLE, THEY ARE WORKING. THAT A COUPLE OF DAYS OFF AFTER THE GAME AGAINST ENGLAND TO CALM THEMSELVES DOWN. THE MOMENTUM IS GETTING HIGH AND THEY ARE READY FOR IT. HOW IMPORTANT IS THE FIRST MATCH? REALLY IMPORTANT. IF WE CAN STAY AS CLOSE AS WE CAN AS TIGHT AS WE CAN IN THE GAME, THE FIRST 20 MINUTES WILL BE THE KEY IF WE CAN STAY 0-0 OR GET A GOAL ON OUR SIDE, IT WOULD BE HUGE FOR US. HOW BIG IS AT THE FOOT WILL COMMUNITY? IT IS HUGE. IT GIVES INSPIRATION TO THE YOUNG KIDS, EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BE A FOOTBALL AND WANTS TO GROW UP, WHEN THEY SEE NEW ZEALAND AT THE WELLCOME, THAT DREAM BECOMES MORE OF A REALITY. THANK YOU, IVAN. TO THE FANS, HOW EXCITED ARE YOU TODAY? SUPER EXCITED. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE SEEN NEW ZEALAND A WORKUP. CHRIS AND I BOTH WANT TO KNOW, YOU HAVING A DAY OFF WORK, YOU PULLING A SICK DAY, WAS AS PLANNED LEAVE? THERE WAS ZERO CHANCE I WAS GOING TO WORK TODAY. EVERY SINGLE GAME FOR THE WORLD CUP WITH ALWAYS A PLANE, I WILL NOT BE AT WORK. SORRY, WORK, I WILL NOT BE VIA. I LOVE YOU GUYS EXCITEMENT. HOW YOU FEEL? YOUR LITTLE BIT NERVOUS? NERVOUS BUT ALSO EXCITED. I'M SURE THE BOYS ARE FEELING THE SAME WAY. IT IS A BIG OCCASION FOR THE COUNTRY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. AND I'M SURE I WILL SEE YOU GUYS SOON WHEN THE GAME KICKS OFF AT 1 PM. JUST UNDER FIVE HOURS TIME, THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL: UP THE ALL WHITES! DOES HIS BOSS KNOW THAT HE IS PULLING A SICK DAY? ELI, THEY ARE JUST WONDERING, HAVE YOU ACTUALLY TAKEN LEAVE OR ARE YOU PULLING A SICK DAY? THIS IS THE FIRST DAY YOUR JOB IS GOING TO KNOW YOU BEING OFF WORK. AS IF YOUR MESSAGE TO THEM? I HAVE TAKEN SOME TIME OFF, BUT THEY THINK I AM SICK. FOR THE WORLD CUP, I AM UNWELL, UNFORTUNATELY. I AM SO SORRY. AO TO MESSAGE THE BOSS AFTER THIS AND TELL THEM TO WATCH BREAKFAST? I WILL TELL HIM NOT TO WATCH. PLEASE LET ME KEEP MY JOB. THAT IS DEDICATION. I'M SURE WE ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE OF THAT AROUND THE COUNTRY TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, LUCY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BOSS PULLING HIM INTO THE OFFICE AND SAY, WATCH THIS. AND IT'S HIM SAYING, THERE IS NO WAY I AM COMING TO WORK! MAYBE DON'T GO ON NATIONAL TELEVISION IF YOU ARE USING SICK LEAVE. Morning team. Morning boss. Sunrise any moment. Hurry guys! Heads!

U.S. AND IRAN ARE PREPARING TO SIGN WHAT COULD BE A MAJOR PEACE DEAL, BUT THERE ARE BIG QUESTIONS OVER WHETHER IT WILL HOLD, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME. WHILE THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE BEING WATCHED CLOSELY INTERNATIONALLY, PETERS SAYS THE COST OF PETROL IN NEW ZEALAND IS UNLIKELY TO FALL SOON. I THINK WERE WAITING WELL BEYOND AUGUST TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. IN THE NATURE OF THE OIL SUPPLY BUSINESS, THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN, HOW SHOULD I SAY, A LOT OF MILKING OF THE CUSTOMERS, SO TO SPEAK, AND WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR UTMOST TO ENSURE THEY REMAIN HONEST IN TERMS OF THE PRICING SYSTEM FOR THE NEW ZEALAND CONSUMER. U.S. VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE IS CONFIDENT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL REOPEN TOLL-FREE FOR THE LONG-TERM. TO SOME BREAKING NEWS NOW, A B52 BOMBER HAS CRASHED JUST MOMENTS AFTER TAKEOFF AT A U.S. AIR FORCE BASE IN CALIFORNIA. THE AIRCRAFT WENT DOWN EARLIER THIS MORNING AT THE EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, OFFICIALS CONFIRMING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. A B52 IS TYPICALLY CREWED BY FIVE PEOPLE, BUT IT IS CURRENTLY UNCLEAR HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD OR IF ANYONE HAS BEEN INJURED. FIVE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS HAVE DIED IN A RUSSIAN DRONE STRIKE IN UKRAINE. THE RESCUERS FOUGHT TO CONTAIN THE FIRE FROM EARLIER ATTACKS WHEN A SECOND STRIKE TARGETED THE BUILDING AND KILLED THEM. IT FOLLOWS THREE DEATHS FROM A UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACK ON RUSSIA, WHERE ITS DEFENSE MINISTRY SAYS IT DOWNED MORE THAN 100 UKRAINIAN DRONES ON TULA OVERNIGHT. A DRUG SAFETY ADVOCATE IS CALLING ON THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT FEEDBACK ON WHAT SHE SAYS IS A LIFE-CHANGING BILL. THE 'GOOD SAMARITAN' OVERDOSE PROTECTIONS BILL WOULD LEGALLY PROTECT PEOPLE WHO SEEK EMERGENCY HELP DURING A DRUG OVERDOSE, WITH THE AIM OF SAVING LIVES BY REMOVING BARRIERS TO CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE. ONE MOTHER WHO LOST HER SON SAYS THE BILL IS ESSENTIAL, AND THE NZ DRUG FOUNDATION'S SARAH HELM ALSO SUPPORTS IT. WE ARE LOSING THREE NEW ZEALANDERS EVERY WEEK TO ENTIRELY PREVENTABLE OVERDOSE FATALITIES. I SPEAK TO OTHER PARENTS, LOVED ONES, AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD NONFATAL OVERDOSES, AND THEY ALL BELIEVE THAT THIS LAW WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. SUBMISSIONS CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. MORE THAN A MILLION NEW ZEALAND HOUSEHOLDS COULD BE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR ELECTRICITY BY STAYING LOYAL TO THE SAME POWER PROVIDER. CONSUMER NEW ZEALAND RESEARCH FOUND HALF OF HOUSEHOLDS HAVE BEEN WITH THEIR RETAILER FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS, WITH MANY MISSING OUT ON BETTER DEALS AVAILABLE TO NEW CUSTOMERS. CONSUMER SAYS POWER PRICES HAVE RISEN 20% IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, AND HOUSEHOLDS THAT SWITCH PROVIDERS ARE SAVING AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT $450 A YEAR. THE ALL WHITES RETURN TO FOOTBALL'S GREATEST STAGE TODAY, KICKING OFF THEIR WORLD CUP CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN. WORLD CUP REPORTER ZION DAYAL FILED THIS REPORT FROM LOS ANGELES STADIUM. THE 16-YEAR WAIT IS ALMOST OVER; IN JUST A FEW HOURS, THE ALL WHITES WILL RETURN TO THE WORLD STAGE. NOW, BY NO MEANS IS THIS EASY FOR THE ALWAYS, BUT COACH DARREN BAZELY HAS TARGETED THIS GAME AGAINST IRAN. THE OPPOSITION HAVEN'T HAD THE MOST IDEAL PREPARATION, BUT THE ALL WHITES HAVE. IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER. EGYPT AND BELGIUM NEXT. SO A WIN HERE TODAY OR AT LEAST A DRAW IS VERY IMPORTANT. NOW THERE IS AN INJURY SCARE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THE TEAM. MIDFIELDER MATT GARBETT LEAVING TRAINING TWO DAYS AGO EARLY AND NOT PARTICIPATING IN THEIR FINAL TRAINING SESSION YESTERDAY. HE'S EXPECTED TO MISS THE FIRST GAME OF THE WORLD CUP. I ALSO SPOKE TO CAPTAIN CHRIS WOOD YESTERDAY, AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GUYS IN THIS TEAM THAT ARE MAKING THEIR WORLD CUP DEBUT. HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE YOUNGER PLAYERS DON'T PLAY THE OCCASION BUT PLAY THE GAME, KEEP LEVEL HEADED BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE'S A FOOTBALL GAME TO WIN. THE PITCH IS LOOKING ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND VERY, VERY SOON THE ALL WHITES WILL BE PLAYING THEIR FIRST GAME IN THE WORLD CUP SINCE 2010. IN THE OTHER GROUP G CLASH, BELGIUM HAVE EQUALISED AGAINST EGYPT JUST MOMENTS AGO. MOHAMED SALAH TEEING UP A SUPERB EMAM ASHOUR STRIKE IN THE 19TH MINUTE. BELGIUM'S ROMELU LUKAKU MAKING AN IMPACT IMMEDIATELY OFF THE BENCH. GREAT BALLIN, LUKAKU FIRST TOUCH! IT IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! THE SCORE 1-1. EARLIER, THE TINY WEST AFRICAN NATION OF CAPE VERDE STUNNING TOURNAMENT FAVOURITES SPAIN, HOLDING THEM TO A SHOCK 0-0 DRAW. AND FINALLY ` AN AMERICAN FISHERMAN HAS PULLED OFF AN IMPRESSIVE CATCH AND RELEASE ON A NANTUCKET BEACH. THE VETERAN ANGLER REELING IN A GREAT WHITE SHARK, A PROTECTED SPECIES IN THE U.S. THAT MUST BE RELEASED WHEN ACCIDENTALLY CAUGHT. SEEMINGLY UNFAZED BY THE NEARLY 9FT BEAST, HE USED THE CATCH AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE HIS HANDLING SKILLS. AND NOW TO THE WEATHER, IT'S A WET ONE UP NORTH. RAIN, GRADUALLY EASING IN RUSSELL AND WHANGAREI, POSSIBLY HEAVY IN AUCKLAND. MORNING SHOWERS AND WESTERLIES IN HAMILTON AND WHAKATANE, HEAVY RAIN IN TAUPO. MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A FEW SHOWERS IN NEW PLYMOUTH AND WELLINGTON, CLEARING TO FINE IN THE AFTERNOON. 11 IS THE HIGH IN DANNEVIRKE, 16 IN GISBORNE. IT'S A SUNNIER OUTLOOK FOR THOSE DOWN SOUTH ` SHOWERS BECOMING FINE IN THE MORNING IN BLENHEIM AND KAIKOURA, EVENING RAIN IN WESTPORT. MOSTLY FINE IN CHRISTCHURCH, OAMARU AND TIMARU. MORNING FROSTS IN QUEENSTOWN AND DUNEDIN, STRONG NORTH-WEST WINDS IN MILFORD SOUND. 9 IS THE HIGH IN ALEXANDRA; 13 IN GREYMOUTH. BNZ BUSINESS BREAKFAST HOST MEI HERON IS BACK WITH US. AND MEI, BIG GAINS IN GLOBAL MARKETS. WHAT'S HAPPENING?? IS THIS AS A RESULT OF THE U.S.-IRAN DEAL? WE ARE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO A POTENTIAL DEAL. I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A POTENTIAL DEAL FOR SOME TIME, BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE ARE CLOSER THAN BEFORE. THE MARKETS HAVE RALLIED QUITE WELL. NASDAQ UP NEARLY 3%. OIL PRICES EASING AS WELL. SPACEX LISTED OVER THE WEEKEND NOT ONLY DID IT START WELL, BUT IT IS CONTINUING TO DO WELL. PEOPLE ARE WATCHING TO SEE IF THAT CONTINUES. SPACEX SHARES GOING UP 9%. WILL THAT DO ANYTHING FOR INFLATION EXPECTATIONS? THAT IS WHAT THE RESERVE BANK LOOKS OUT FOR. I KNOW EARLIER ON THE SHOW YOU TALKED TO AN ECONOMIST ABOUT THIS. LET'S LISTEN TO ANALYST. THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE QUITE POSITIVE, BECAUSE AS EVERYONE MIGHT RECALL, THAT EARLY PART OF THE YEAR, IT FELT LIKE WE WERE COMING OUT OF PREVIOUS, YOU KNOW, SLOW QUARTERS, AND IT WAS LOOKING ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD. AND OBVIOUSLY, THE EXPECTATION` I THINK THE REAL EXPECTATION WILL BE WHAT THE RESERVE BANK THINK. THEY ARE EXPECTING ABOUT A 1% RISE IN GDP FOR THAT FIRST QUARTER. IF IT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT, THEN I THINK THAT WILL JUSTIFY THEIR HAWKISH STANCE THAT THEY TOOK A SHORT TIME AGO. IF IT'S LOWER, THEN I THINK THAT MAY MODERATE THE WAY THEY THINK, BUT OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE JUNE QUARTER WILL BE THE ONE WE WILL WATCH WITH THE MOST INTEREST, WHICH WE'LL SEE JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE NEGATIVE. AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE GDP FIGURES WILL BE OUT ON THURSDAY. SO INTERESTING, THE POLITICS FROM US AS WELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. THIS WEEK ON BREAKFAST, WE'RE GIVING AWAY MORE THAN $30,000 WORTH OF INCREDIBLE LG PRIZES, WITH THREE MASSIVE PRIZE PACKS UP FOR GRABS!

HEAD TO winwithbreakfast.co.nz NOW TO ENTER AND WE'LL BE ANNOUNCING THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. THE THREE LUCKY WINNERS THIS FRIDAY. I NEED A FRENCH DOOR FRIDGE. THEY ARE SO BOUGIE. COMING UP NEXT ` WE HEAD TO THE CAPITAL WHERE IT'S TIME FOR ORIENTAL BAY'S BIANNUAL SAND SHIFT. OUR REPORTER DAVINA ZIMMER IS THERE FINDING OUT WHAT EXACTLY THAT LOOKS LIKE. MORENA. MORENA. WE ARE HERE SHOVELING A BIT OF SAND THIS MORNING. AFTER THE BREAK WE WILL TALK TO THE PROJECT MANAGER IN CHARGE OF THIS MAMMOTH TASK ABOUT WHY THEY ARE DOING IT AND WHAT THE PURPOSE IS. IN WELLINGTON IT'S TIME FOR THE BIANNUAL SAND SHIFT, WHERE CLOSE TO 1000 CUBIC METRES OF SAND IS BROUGHT UP FROM THE SOUTH ISLAND TO SPRUCE UP ORIENTAL BAY. OUR REPORTER DAVINA ZIMMER IS DOWN AT THE WATERFRONT LENDING OUR REPORTER DAVINA ZIMMER IS DOWN AT THE WATERFRONT LENDING A HAND THIS MORNING. MORENA, DAVINA. I AM HERE IN THE DIGGER. I AM NOT OPERATING IT SO EVERYONE CAN REST EASY. THEY MOVE A THOUSAND CUBIC METERS OF SAND HERE EVERY YEAR. TO TELL US MORE ABOUT WHY THAT IS, WE HAVE OUR PROJECT MANAGER, JOEL. ALMOST 1000 M OF SAND EVERY SIX MONTHS. WHY? WE DO THIS AS A PROGRAM MAINTENANCE. AS YOU SAID, TWICE A YEAR. IF WE DON'T DO THIS OPERATION, WE END UP LOSING SOME OF THE SAND TO THE HARBOUR. WE GET ABOUT 30 STORM EVENTS A YEAR IN WELLINGTON, AND THE WIND PUSHES THE WAVES ONTO THE BEACH AND THEN IT DRIFTS DOWN FROM THE EAST AND BEHIND ME TO THE CITY. OF THOUSAND CUBIC METERS GETS SHIFTED EVERY SIX MONTHS. WHAT IS THE BAD THING ABOUT THE SAND, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU DIDN'T SHIFT IT? WE DO BRING IN ABOUT 1400 M OF SAND, WE DID THAT LAST YEAR AND BEFORE THAT. IF WE DON'T DO THE SAND SHIFT, WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO BRING IN MORE SAND TO KEEP THE BEACH TO ITS CURRENT PROFILE. TO KEEP IT BEACHY. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE? OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A DIGGER AND ANOTHER APPLIANCE BEHIND ME, A TRUCK, CARRYING THE LOAD. WHAT IS THIS LOOK LIKE OVER THE COMING DAYS? AS I MENTIONED, LAST YEAR WE BROUGHT IN A BIT OF SAND. THE PROFILES ARE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, AND 2003 THE BEACH WAS BUILT. WE BRING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE. IT OBVIOUSLY PROVIDES AN OPEN SPACE FOR PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY IN SUMMER, AND IT IS ALSO A DOG EXERCISE AREA DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE PEOPLE OF WELLINGTON DO LOVE THIS. COME DOWN IN FEBRUARY JUST BEFORE UNIVERSITY STARTS AND IT IS PACKED WITH PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER MONTHS. HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST EVERY TIME YOU DO IT? FOR THE THREE DIGGERS TO BE OUT HERE FOR FOUR DAYS, IT IS ABOUT $20,000. EVERY SIX MONTH, SO $40,000 A YEAR. IT CAME FROM DUNEDIN LAST TIME, NELSON THE FIRST TIME. IS THERE A RHYME OR REASON? IS JUST THE CHEAPEST WE CAN SOURCE IT. WHEN THE PRODUCT WAS FIRST ON 20 YEARS AGO, THIS ACTUALLY CAME FROM TAKAKA FROM ERODING PROJECT, YOU COULD ARGUE THAT IT WAS SUSTAINABLE AND UNWANTED. THE LAST TIMES WE HAVE DONE IT IT HAS COME FROM DUNEDIN. THERE IS A QUARRY DOWN THERE THAT HAS A VERY SIMILAR SAND. THIS IS CRUSHED GRANITE. THE REASON WE USE THIS IS SO THAT I DOES NOT BLOW AWAY IN THE WIND, IT IS ONLY THE WAVE ACTION THAT IS MOVING THE SAND. PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE IT. THE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS NOT SO MUCH, IT IS A BIT COARSE FOR THEM. WE WILL SEE SOME DIGGERS AND SOME ACTION DOWN HERE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THEY ARE SHIFTING THIS CURRENTLY WET SAND BECAUSE WE HAD A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN HERE IN WELLINGTON, AND THEN FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS IT WILL BE GOOD AGAIN. IT'LL BE PERFECT, AND JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER. E WHAI AKE NEI ` WE SPEAK TO A TEENAGE AUTHOR REPRESENTING NEW ZEALAND IN A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO GET KIDS READING. WELCOME BACK TO BREAKFAST. A TOKOROA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHO WROTE HER FIRST BOOK AT NINE HAS BEEN NAMED THE 2026 YOUTH LITERACY AMBASSADOR FOR NEW ZEALAND. LAST YEAR, RUTENDO SHADAYA WAS CROWNED ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 'GIRLS OF THE YEAR' FOR HER SERIES OF FANTASY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN THAT FEATURE STRONG FEMALE LEADS. IN HER NEW ROLE, SHE'LL JOIN YOUNG LEADERS FROM A HUNDRED OTHER NATIONS IN HER NEW ROLE, SHE'LL JOIN YOUNG LEADERS FROM A HUNDRED OTHER NATIONS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT CHILDREN WHO ARE FALLING BEHIND IN READING. RUTENDO JOINS ME NOW. LOVELY TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE SHOW. THIS IS SO FANTASTIC. HOW DID YOU GET SELECTED FOR THIS? THERE WAS AN APPLICATION I FOUND ONLINE AND I WAS LIKE, OH, THIS IS GOING TO BE COOL BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT LITERACY, AND HAVING ACCESS FOR CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD, AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A PART OF A SOCIAL IMPACT LIKE THAT. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHY NOT APPLY TO THIS? AND THEN I DECIDED TO APPLY. NOW THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THESE AMBASSADORS, WHAT DOES THE ROLE ENTAIL? IT IS A THREE MONTH ONLINE INITIATIVE. I WILL BE DOING MODULES ARE LEARNING HOW TO SPREAD GLOBAL AWARENESS, LEARNING ABOUT THE LITERACY PROBLEMS AROUND THE WORLD IN COUNTRIES LIKE CHAD, AFGHANISTAN, LEARN HOW TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE FROM COUNTRIES LIKE NEW ZEALAND WHICH HAS A HIGH LITERACY RATE. I WILL BE LEARNING HOW TO FUND RAISE AND DO INITIATIVES WHERE WE FUND RAISE FOR THOSE UNFORTUNATE COUNTRIES AND LEARN ALL THOSE BASIC SKILLS TO BECOME BETTER LITERACY AMBASSADORS. SUCH FANTASTIC IDEA, FOR YOURSELF, WHERE DID YOUR JOURNEY STARTS WITH READING? HAVE YOU ALWAYS LOVED READING? I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED READING, LIKE GROWING UP, I WAS A HUGE BOOKWORM IN MY PRIMARY DAYS, IN THE LIBRARY I USED TO READ THEA STILTON AND THE RAINBOW FAIRY SERIES. THEN I GOT INTO THE DAVID WILLIAMS BOOKS. WHENEVER WE HAD THE BOOK FAIR AT WORK, I WOULD ALWAYS CONVINCE MY PARENTS HAVE ONLY ONE. THE RAINBOW FAIRY BOOKS ARE A FAVOURITE IN MY HOUSEHOLD, I CAN TELL YOU THAT. IN NEW ZEALAND, WE HAVE HIGH LITERACY RATES, BUT IT MUST BE HARD TO GET THROUGH TO PEOPLE WHEN THERE ARE COMPETING THINGS LIKE PHONES AND DEVICES AND ECKLEY PUTTING THOSE DOWN AND PICKING UP A BOOK. DESPITE OUR HIGH LITERACY RATE, YOU DON'T REALLY SEE PEOPLE READ. PEOPLE WOULD RATHER BE ON THEIR PHONES, IT IS EASY, YOU COULD JUST PICK UP A PHONE AND JUST START DOOM SCROLLING. I THINK WE NEED TO RE-CENTRE BACK TO BOOKS, I THINK ARE LITERACY RATES ARE DROPPING BECAUSE IN THE OECD WE ARE ON AVERAGE COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES, BUT WE ARE STARTING TO DROP FROM THE LAST TIME WE TOOK THE TEST. HOW DO WE CHANGE THAT? HOW DO WE GET PEOPLE TO PUT DOWN THEIR DEVICES AND PICK UP A BOOK AGAIN? I THINK PUTTING YOUR PHONE AWAY, SOMETIMES WHEN I'M STUDYING OR READING SOMETHING, I PUT MY PHONE AWAY OR GO TO AN AREA WHERE THERE WILL BE NO DEVICES. JUST OPENING A BOOK AND A QUIET ENVIRONMENT, OR EVEN GOING TO THE LIBRARY AND PICKING UP A BOOK AND READING IT. OPEN THE FRONT PAGE AND SEE THIS FUN ADVENTURE. HOW MANY YEARS LEFT YOU HAVE AT SCHOOL? THIS IS MY LAST YEAR, I AM A 13. SO THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER, WHAT YOUR PLANS FOR? I AM GOING TO UNIVERSITY. I AM HOPING TO DO SOMETHING AND HELP SCIENCES. CORRECTION: HEALTH SCIENCES. IT IS LOVELY TO HAVE YOU BACK ON THE SHOW AND SEE HOW MUCH YOU'RE PROGRESSING SINCE WE LAST WEEK. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO INSPIRING, ISN'T IT? I BET SHE NEVER TAKES ANY SICK DAYS. WE HAD SOME GREAT EMAILS COMING IN. SOME GREAT IDEAS ON HOW TO TAKE THE DAY OFF TODAY BECAUSE THE GAME THE ALL WHITES AGAINST IRAN. THE COVERAGE STARTS AT MIDDAY HERE ON TV NZ. LOTS OF PEOPLE TAKING THE DAY OFF? YES, THEY SURE ARE. PEOPLE HAVE TOLD US THE CREATIVE WAYS OF TAKING SICK DAYS IN THE PAST AND GOT BUSTED. SOMEONE FOUND OUT THEIR FAVOURITE BANDS WON'T BE PLAYING IN TOWN, THEY WERE GOING TO MISS IT. THEY HAD A BLAST WITH THEIR PARTNER, BUT ONE MONTH LATER, HIS MANAGER CALLED HIM INTO HIS OFFICE AND PULLED UP A VIDEO HE HAD TAKEN OF HIM AT THE CONCERT. NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAS IN HR MEETING. PHOEBE SAID, OUR BOSS LET US TAKE TIME OFF THE BIG FIGHT WITH DAVID TUA ONLY TO SEE DAVID TUA LOSE IN 30 SECONDS FLAT. PEOPLE ARE WONDERING HOW TOUGH THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE AGAINST IRAN. THEY ARE A BIG TEAM IN ASIA. THEY ARE RANKED 21ST IN THE WORLD, JAPAN ARE 18. THEY HAD A VERY GOOD TO ALL DRAW AGAINST THE NETHERLANDS. WE ARE 85TH. CAREER IS 22ND, THEY HAD A GREAT WIN AGAINST THE CZECH REPUBLIC. AUSTRALIA 23RD AND THEY BEAT TURKEY. AT THE ALL WHITES CAN DO IT, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE EVER WON THE WORLD CUP MATCH AT THE THIRD TIME OF ASKING AFTER GOING THERE IN 1982 IN 2010. HOW ARE YOU FEELING, FEELING CONFIDENT? I'M FEELING CONFIDENT AFTER WE HAD LITTLE POOPY PUPS WALK OVER THE NEW ZEALAND FLAG, OUR ORACLE, AFTER HE POOED ON THE FLOOR. THE GROODLE THAT HE IS.
