TONIGHT, ON 1 NEWS ` PEACE DEAL REVEALED. AS DONALD TRUMP SIGNS OFF ON THE IRAN AGREEMENT. WHAT ARE THE STICKING POINTS, AND WHO'LL BE PAYING TO MAKE IT WORK? MAKING YOUR MEDICINE EASIER TO SWALLOW ` LABOUR PROMISES TO BRING BACK FREE PRESCRIPTIONS IF ELECTED. HOW THIS FISHING TRAWLER IS GETTING A SECOND LIFE OFF THE NAPIER COAST. (WOMAN PERFORMS KARANGA, BOAT HORN BLARES) AND IT'S A GOAL FEST AS ENGLAND BEGIN THEIR WORLD CUP CAMPAIGN AIMING TO END 60 YEARS OF HURT. MARCUS RASHFORD. THAT'S THE GAME FOR ENGLAND. 85th MINUTE. CAPTIONS BY LAURA YOUNG, BEN MOLLISON AND KATE MCCULLOUGH. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2026 TENA TATOU KATOA, GOOD EVENING. BOTH IRAN AND THE U.S. ARE CLAIMING THE WIN AS THE PEACE DEAL TO END THE WAR IS SIGNED, BUT DONALD TRUMP WARNING HE'LL RESUME BOMBING IF IRAN DOESN'T BEHAVE, AFTER REVEALING DETAILS OF THEIR DEAL. THE 14-POINT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING CALLS FOR AN 'IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT' END TO MILITARY OPERATIONS ON ALL FRONTS, INCLUDING LEBANON. IT'S A KEY IRANIAN DEMAND AMID AMERICAN CONCERNS ISRAEL'S OPERATIONS THERE WOULD SCUPPER THE WHOLE DEAL. OTHER MAIN POINTS INCLUDE ENDING THE U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE WITHIN 30 DAYS AND IRAN REOPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT ` THAT'S CRUCIAL TO THE FLOW OF OIL FROM THE REGION. IRAN'S REAFFIRMED ITS COMMITMENT TO NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. TRUMP SAYS THIS POINT WAS 99% WHAT OPERATION FURY WAS ABOUT. THERE'S A COMMITMENT TO END SANCTIONS AND A RECONSTRUCTION FUND TO THE TUNE OF $520b, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR WHO'S PAYING FOR IT. THE AGREEMENT ESSENTIALLY KICK-STARTS 60 DAYS FOR A FINAL DEAL TO BE IRONED OUT. U.S. CORRESPONDENT LOGAN CHURCH HAS MORE DETAILS AND WHAT COMES NEXT. IT WAS HERE, IN FRANCE'S PALACE OF VERSAILLES, WHERE THE TREATY ENDING WORLD WAR 1 WAS SIGNED, AND WHERE THE U.S. PRESIDENT SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO END HIS WAR AGAINST IRAN. MONTHS AFTER STARTING IT, DONALD TRUMP SAYS FINISHING THE WAR NOW PREVENTS AN 'ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE.' WE RUN OUT OF RESERVES IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE RESERVES ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND WE WOULD REALLY RUN OUT, AND THERE'LL BE A TIME WHEN YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT. AND YOU WANT TO SEE BEDLAM? BUT IRAN HAS ALREADY CONFIRMED IT'LL APPLY FEES TO SHIPPING THAT IT DIDN'T BEFORE. THAT'LL MAKE LIFE FOR ALL OF US MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT IT'S FAR FROM THE ONLY FALLOUT FROM A WAR. AND THE DEAL TO END IT ONE REPUBLICAN SENATOR HAS CALLED, '..THE WORST FOREIGN POLICY BLUNDER IN DECADES.' WITH PURE FORCE, TRUMP'S AIM WAS TO BETTER BARACK OBAMA'S IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL ` THAT HE RIPPED UP. WITH MANY ISSUES STILL TO BE NEGOTIATED, IT'S UNCLEAR IF HE WILL. IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THEY CAN'T DEVELOP IT, BUY IT... THEY CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. DESPITE AGREEING TO AT LEAST DILUTE ITS NEAR WEAPONS GRADE URANIUM STOCKPILE, IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW THIS WILL HAPPEN, AND IRAN COULD STILL BE ALLOWED A NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAMME. TEHRAN ALSO KEEPING ITS BALLISTIC MISSILE FORCE TRUMP HAD VOWED TO DESTROY. I'M SAYING THAT IF OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE THEM, IT'S A LITTLE BIT UNFAIR FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE SOME. THEN THERE'S THE MONEY ` IF, AS TRUMP SAYS, IRAN 'BEHAVES', IT'LL SEE ALL SANCTIONS LIFTED, ASSETS WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS UNFROZEN BY THE U.S., AND ACCESS TO A USD $520bn INVESTMENT FUND. BECAUSE WE DID A TRILLION AND A HALF, MAYBE TWO TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE, SO SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO HELP THEM OUT. WE ARE WORSE OFF THAN WE WERE WHEN THE WAR STARTED. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ UNDER GREATER IRANIAN CONTROL NOW THAN THEN. THE LEADERSHIP OF IRAN MORE MILITANT NOW THAN THEN. NOTHING, NO GUARANTEES IN ANY WAY, ON NUCLEAR, AND OF COURSE, THE PRICE OF GASOLINE IS GOING TO STAY HIGH FOR A LONG TIME. THE AGREEMENT SETS TWO MONTHS TO NEGOTIATE TERMS THAT TOOK OBAMA'S TEAM TWO YEARS TO THRASH OUT. IF IT DOESN T GET DONE IN 60 DAYS, THAT S ALL RIGHT ` WE GO BACK TO BOMBING. FOR NOW THOUGH, ONE TOP IRANIAN OFFICIAL SAYS THE DEAL DELIVERS IRAN 'THE FLAG OF VICTORY'. LOGAN CHURCH, 1 NEWS, LOS ANGELES. BACK HERE, LABOUR'S PROMISING TO MAKE PRESCRIPTIONS FREE AGAIN IF IT WINS NOVEMBER'S ELECTION. THE $75m A YEAR POLICY WOULD BE FUNDED BY ITS CAPITAL GAINS TAX, JOINING A SUITE OF OTHER HEALTH INITIATIVES THE PARTY SAYS THE TAX WILL FUND. BUT THE PRIME MINISTER'S CALLING THE IDEA 'FLAWED'. SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER BENEDICT COLLINS HAS MORE. WHEN ILLNESS STRIKES, A VISIT TO THE PHARMACY IS OFTEN ON THE CARDS. AND LABOUR TODAY WENT BACK TO THE FUTURE AND PROMISED TO MAKE IT CHEAPER. WHEN WE WERE IN GOVERNMENT, AND I WAS PRIME MINISTER, AND DR VERALL WAS THE MINISTER OF HEALTH, WE ABOLISHED THE $5 CO-PAYMENT FOR PRESCRIPTIONS. THE NEXT LABOUR GOVERNMENT WILL ABOLISH IT AGAIN. ARGUING THAT $5 PRESCRIPTION FEE IS A BIG BARRIER FOR SOME. I REMEMBER CARING FOR A TRUCK DRIVER WHO CAME TO HOSPITAL WITH A STROKE, MERELY BECAUSE HE MISSED OUT ON PICKING UP HIS PRESCRIPTION BECAUSE OF THE COST. HE HAD A COSTLY HOSPITAL ADMISSION AND A LIFETIME OF DISABILITY BECAUSE OF THAT. LABOUR SAYS 155,000 KIWIS DIDN'T PICK UP THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE COST. SO THEY MIGHT PICK UP THE ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE CURRENT INFECTION THAT THEY'VE GOT BUT THEN NOT PICK UP DIABETES MEDICATIONS. WOW. AND YOU'RE SEEING THAT? YEP, WE SURE ARE. IN CHRISTCHURCH, SOME FELT SCRAPPING THE FEE COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. EVEN THOUGH $5 IS NOT MUCH, IT IS A LOT FOR A LOT OF WHANAU. I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING. AS SOMEONE WHO WORKS IN THE HEALTH SECTOR, I'M ACUTELY AWARE OF HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR PEOPLE AT THE MOMENT. LABOUR PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT THE FREE PRESCRIPTION POLICY IN IN 2023, BUT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT REPEALED IT, MAKING IT MORE TARGETED. LOOK, I THINK AS A POLICY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT FLAWED THAT, YOU KNOW, DO PEOPLE LIKE ME AND CHRIS HIPKINS REALLY NEED FREE PRESCRIPTIONS, AND IT'S NOT AS TARGETED AS IT NEEDS TO BE. IN OUR CASE, WE TARGET IT FOR COMMUNITY CARD FOLK, GOLD CARD FOLK AND OBVIOUSLY CHILDREN. HEALTHCARE IS A BASIC NEED FOR EVERYONE. IT SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. TARGETING COSTS MONEY. I THINK THE BETTER RESPONSE WOULD BE FOR THE LABOUR PARTY TO COME ON BOARD WITH OUR POLICY, WHICH IS ACTUALLY ABOUT EXTENDING PRESCRIPTION LENGTHS, BECAUSE THAT ACTUALLY FREES UP APPOINTMENTS IN GPS AND IMPORTANTLY SAVES PEOPLE ON AVERAGE ABOUT $105 A YEAR. THIS PHARMACIST THINKS IT COULD BE MORE TARGETED, BUT SEES A BIGGER PROBLEM. WHAT IS LESS GOOD IS ACTUALLY THIS FLIPPING AND FLOPPING BETWEEN THERE'S CHARGES NOW, THEN NEXT TERM, THE GOVERNMENT CHANGES, THERE'S NO CHARGES AT THAT POINT, AND IT FLIPS AND FLOPS. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT AT THE COALFACE TO PORTRAY THAT MESSAGE TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. A CALL FROM THIS CHEMIST FOR SOME POLITICAL CONSISTENCY. BENEDICT JOINS ME NOW. IT'S SCRUTINY WEEK AT PARLIAMENT, AND SHANE JONES HAD A SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE. TELL US ABOUT THAT. YES HE DID. THIS IS TO DO WITH THE CONTROVERSIAL FISHERIES BILL. SHANE JONES TOLD MPS IT'S CLEAR THERE'S A LACK OF CONSENSUS AROUND THE SPELL. AND HE IS GOING TO DO SIGNIFICANT PANEL BEATING TO KNOCK THE BELL INTO SHAPE. IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN COMMERCIAL FISHERS, OR ARE REMOVED COMMERCIAL SIZE FOR FISHERS. PEOPLE LINED UP TO CELEBRATE THIS MOVE TODAY. LABOUR SAID IT'S A TERRIBLE BELL, THAT SHOULD BE SCRAPPED ENTIRELY, WHILE GREENPEACE DESCRIBED THE SPELL TODAY AS A REAL WIN. BUT AS BEEN A TOUGH DAY FOR SHANE JONES. IS ALSO COPPING OUT OVER A RECENT TRIP TO CANADA, FOR A MINING CONFERENCE. BLOWING HIS BUDGET ON BUSINESS CLASS SEATS. THANKS, BENEDICT. WE BEGAN THE YEAR IN AN UPBEAT ECONOMIC MOOD ` THAT'S WHAT NEW GDP FIGURES REVEAL. BUT THE AFTERSHOCK FROM THE IRAN WAR UPENDING OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY'S YET TO FULLY HIT US. BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT JASON WALLS TAKES A LOOK AT WHERE IT COULD GO FROM HERE. SUMMER SUN, FESTIVALS AND CONCERTS. # ...OF VIOLINS. # SPIRITS WERE HIGH BACK IN JANUARY AS EXPERTS PREDICTED THE ECONOMY WAS TURNING A CORNER. I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO SEE THINGS COME TO LIFE. AND TODAY'S DATA BACKS THAT UP, NEW ZEALAND'S ECONOMY GROWING 0.8% IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR, UP ON THE 0.5% IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2025. THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR GROWING BY MORE THAN $100M, BUSINESS SERVICES ` THAT'S FINANCE, ACCOUNTING AND INVESTMENT ` ALSO UP, ALONG WITH RETAIL, TRADE AND ACCOMMODATION. MINING, MEANWHILE, SAW THE BIGGEST FALL, WITH CONSTRUCTION ALSO DOWN BY MORE THAN $40M. COMPARED TO THE SAME TIME A YEAR AGO, THE ECONOMY HAS GROWN BY 1.5%. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT, AND IT DOES SUGGEST THAT MOMENTUM WAS STARTING TO GATHER ` AT LEAST UP UNTIL THOSE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF THE YEAR. BUT THEN... DONALD TRUMP RUNNING A GEOPOLITICAL LAWN MOWER OVER THE ECONOMY'S GREEN SHOOTS. IT HAS CAUSED HUGE PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AND PARTICULARLY HERE IN NEW ZEALAND AS WELL. AUCKLAND'S BROKE BOY TACOS AMONG THOSE FEELING IT, FORCED TO INCREASE PRICES AT THE RISK OF LOSING CUSTOMERS. THE PRICE OF BEEF IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT I'M PRETTY UPSET ABOUT, AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT TAKES 80% OF MY MENU. YOU KNOW, I CAN'T` WHEN MY MENU IS 80% BEEF, I CAN'T BE CREATIVE WITH MY MENU TO HIDE MY COSTS. HE SAYS HE'S FOUND CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE, BUT... IT'S A DOUBLE WHAMMY BECAUSE THE SUPPLIERS' PRICES ARE DOUBLED, BUT THE CUSTOMER CAN'T SPEND AS MUCH, AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE. MEANWHILE, SIX NORTH ISLAND BURGER BURGER STORES WERE TODAY PLACED INTO RECEIVERSHIP. ITS OWNER HAS ALSO PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED BEEF PRICES AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AS AREAS OF PRESSURE. WE HAVE HAD THAT THREE MONTHS-ISH OF CONFLICT ` I THINK IT'S PUT THE ECONOMY A BIT ON THE BACK FOOT AGAIN, SO WE'RE STILL NOT GOING TO SEE THE SAME KIND OF GROWTH THAT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING, SAY, BACK IN FEBRUARY. THE EVENTS AND CONFERENCE SECTOR MAKING ITS PITCH THIS WEEK. THIS TOLKIEN-INSPIRED DISPLAY ONE OF HUNDREDS AT THE MEETINGS CONVENTION IN AUCKLAND, DESIGNED TO WOO INTERNATIONAL BIG SPENDERS TO USE OUR VENUES. WE'RE A SAFE, STABLE, SECURE COUNTRY, AND WE CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. BANKING ON THAT REPUTATION BECOMING MORE VALUABLE AMID GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY. NOW, TODAYS' DATA IS FROM BEFORE THE WAR. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN THE NEXT LOT? THE NEXT LOT, AT THE RISK OF STATING THE OBVIOUS, IS NOT GONNA BE AS GOOD AS WHAT WE SAW TODAY. IT WILL BE FROM THE SECOND QUARTER. FROM APRIL AND JUNE. SMACK BANG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORST OF WHAT WE SAW OVERSEAS. HAVE TO START MAKING SOME EXPECTATIONS ABOUT PUTTING A NUMERICAL FIGURE ON THAT. WE WON'T KNOW THOSE FIGURES UNTIL SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR. GONNA BE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THAT, IT'S A LONG WAY OUT. NICOLA WILLIS SAID TODAY IT WON'T BE AS SUNNY TODAY IN TERMS OF THE SECOND QUARTER FIGURES. HOW WILL TODAY'S NUMBERS IMPACT MORTGAGE RATES? YES, WELL THE NUMBERS ARE JUST TOO FAR BACK TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT TO SEE THE INTEREST RATES. THE NEXT BATCH THAT WE GETTING IS NOT GOING TO BE UNTIL LATE JULY. THAT COMES AFTER THE RESERVE BANK DOES ITS OFFICIAL CASH UPDATE. WE DO HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE INTEREST RATES WILL HEAD, AND IN THE LAST MEETING THE BALANCE WILL LIKELY INCREASE INCOMING MEETINGS. YOU CAN'T BE MUCH MORE DEFINITIVE THAN THAT. THE CONVERSATION HAS SHIFTED FROM TWO BY HOW MUCH. THANKS, JASON. THE CONTROVERSIAL PLAN TO UPGRADE THE GOLDEN MILE ROUTE IN CENTRAL WELLINGTON HAS BEEN AXED. CONSTRUCTION STARTED UNDER PREVIOUS WELLINGTON MAYOR TORY WHANAU, BUT WAS STOPPED LATE LAST YEAR AS COSTS GREW FOR THE $139m PROJECT. THE PLAN AIMED TO IMPROVE ACTIVE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT ALONG THE KEY ROUTE. MAYOR ANDREW LITTLE SAYS COUNCIL TODAY DREW A LINE UNDER A WELL-INTENTIONED PROJECT THAT SIMPLY COULDN'T BE DELIVERED. A SCALED-DOWN VERSION OF THE PLAN IS BEING CONSIDERED. THE ESSENTIAL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY ROUTE BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLANDS IS GETTING A BILLION-DOLLAR-PLUS UPGRADE BY THE EARLY 2030s. THE THREE EXISTING CABLES UNDER THE COOK STRAIT ARE NEARING THE END OF THEIR 40-YEAR LIFE. THE COMMERCE COMMISSION SAYS THE $1.1bn INVESTMENT BY TRANSPOWER IS IN THE LONG-TERM INTERESTS OF POWER CONSUMERS. THE PLAN TO REPLACE AND EXPAND THE INTER-ISLAND LINK WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF FAULTS AND OUTAGES. AND A NEW KIWI-DESIGNED SYSTEM AIMED AT PROTECTING THE UNDERWATER CABLES THAT BRING US THE INTERNET IS BEING LABELLED A GAME-CHANGER. ITS WORLD-FIRST MONITORING TECHNOLOGY TRIGGERS AN ALERT WHEN VESSELS COME TOO CLOSE. AS JAMES FLEURY REPORTS, IT'S ALREADY GAINING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION. THIS THIN BIT OF CABLE IS VITAL INFRASTRUCTURE ` ONE OF SEVERAL CONNECTING NEW ZEALAND TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, CARRYING AROUND 99% OF OUR DATA TRAFFIC. THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF A MODERN FIBRE OPTIC CABLE. SO ALL OF THE INTERNATIONAL CABLES THAT COME IN AND OUT OF NEW ZEALAND ARE IDENTICAL TO THAT. DUE TO OUR ISOLATION, NEW ZEALAND RELIES HEAVILY ON THEM, INCLUDING THE SOUTHERN CROSS CABLE NETWORK. BUT WITH SOME LYING IN WATERS SHALLOWER THAN 200m, THEY ARE VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS CLOSE TO BUSY FISHING AND SHIPPING ROUTES. GLOBALLY ABOUT EVERY THREE DAYS THERE'S A CABLE SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT'S DAMAGED. ABOUT 70%, THE CAUSE IS FISHING OR ANCHORING. BUT KEEPING THEM SAFE IS SET TO GET MUCH EASIER ` A WORLD-FIRST 24/7 MONITORING SYSTEM UNVEILED TODAY. WHAT STARBOARD DOES IS HAS DIFFERENT SOURCES OF DATA, MEANING INFORMATION, WHICH WE FUSE INTO ONE PLACE, WHICH ENABLE US TO BUILD A PICTURE OF ALL OF THE MARITIME TRAFFIC. IT WORKS BY TRIGGERING AN ALERT TO STAFF HERE AT THE MARITIME OPERATIONS CENTRE IN WELLINGTON WHEN VESSELS RISK DAMAGING THE CABLES BY GETTING TOO CLOSE, AND STAFF HERE TO DIRECTLY CONTACT MARINERS. FISHING OR ANCHORING IN THESE ZONES CAN ATTRACT FINES UP TO $100,000. IT MEANS THAT WE'RE NOT SENDING OUT FALSE WARNINGS TO PEOPLE WHO MIGHT JUST BE GOING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AND OPERATING PROPERLY. AND THE COST OF ONGOING MONITORING ISN'T LEFT TO TAXPAYERS. I GUESS THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS ARRANGEMENT FOR TAXPAYERS IS THAT IT'S THE CABLE INFRASTRUCTURE OWNERS THEMSELVES WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS SURVEILLANCE. AND THE TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT ONLY IMPRESSED LOCALLY. AND IT'S ACTUALLY BEING USED IN NORTHERN SEA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THE ENGLISH CHANNEL BY EUROPEAN CLIENT. ANOTHER STEP TO SAFEGUARD CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE HERE AND OVERSEAS. JAMES FLEURY, 1 NEWS. TURNING TO THE FOOTBALL NOW, AND THE FOREVER HOPEFUL ENGLAND FANS GOT SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT. HARRY KANE'S TEAM PUTTING 4 PAST CROATIA ON THE WAY TO A TOP OF THE TABLE WIN. COULD THIS BE THE WORLD CUP THAT'S FINALLY COMING HOME? AS AZIZ AL SA'AFIN REPORTS, THAT DREAM CERTAINLY ON THE MINDS OF FANS FROM LONDON TO AUCKLAND. THE THREE LIONS, CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION'S PRIDE IN DALLAS, AND DRAWING THE FAITHFUL TOGETHER FROM LONDON TO NEW ZEALAND. CROATIA HAVE BROKEN ENGLISH HEARTS BEFORE, BUT ANY EARLY NERVES WERE SOON SETTLED. BUT HE GOES THE OTHER WAY AND HE WINS THE DUEL. CAPTAIN HARRY KANE BURYING AN EARLY PENALTY AFTER A RETAKE ` THE RELIEF FELT ACROSS THE GLOBE. (CROWD CHEERS) ACROSS AUCKLAND, CROATIAN FANS WERE GATHERED TOO. THIS IS A HUGE FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE AWAY FROM OUR COUNTRY AND IT'S GOOD THAT WE ALL COME HERE, YOU KNOW, TO SUPPORT OUR TEAM, TO SHOW, YOU KNOW, UNITY. THEIR TEAM SOON GIVING THEM SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT. OH, WHAT A GOAL. (CROWD CHEERS) ENGLAND STRUCK BACK. (CROWD CHEERS) BUT CROATIA STRUCK AGAIN ON THE BRINK OF HALF TIME. OH, IT'S A WONDERFUL GOAL FROM MUSA. AND WHEN WE PLAY AGAINST ENGLAND YOU ALWAYS FEEL THIS TENSION. FOR ME IT'S THE BEST GAME OF WORLD CUP, FOR NOW. JUST A MINUTE INTO THE SECOND HALF, ENGLAND'S LIONS ROARED AGAIN. JUDE BELLINGHAM TELLS YOU ALL HE'S AT THE WORLD CUP. AND AFTER A BACK-AND-FORTH BATTLE, MARCUS RASHFORD SEALING THE 4-2 WIN LATE IN THE GAME. (CROWD CHEERS, CLAPS) ELATED ENGLISH FANS HERE AT THE CROATIAN FAN BASE AT LONG ROOM AND WHILE THEY COULDN'T QUITE GET IT ACROSS THE LINE, THE CROATIAN FANS TELL ME HERE, THEY'RE STILL PROUD OF THEIR TEAM. GOT ROOTS FROM CROATIA. MY GRANDPARENTS CAME OVER. GOOD TO HAVE A GOOD TURNOUT HERE ` BIG GAME AGAINST ENGLAND. THE EXCITEMENT OF A BIG GAME MAKING IT WORTHWHILE. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PASSION AND LOVE OF THE GAME, LOVE OF THE FOOTBALL. AND, UH, WHICHEVER COUNTRY YOU'RE SUPPORTING, YOU'VE GOT TO GET INTO IT. THE ENGLISH, MEANWHILE, ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO DREAM. IT MEANS THAT FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME. COME ON ENGLAND. FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME! FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME! HOPING TO PUT AN END TO 60 YEARS OF HURT. AZIZ AL SA'AFIN, 1 NEWS. A MURI AKE NEI.

SONG: # Oh, baby, you... # Thanks. # You've got what I need # You got everything I need ONE OF AUCKLAND PORT'S BIGGEST CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS HAS GONE $2m OVER BUDGET DUE TO UNEXPECTED DRILLING PROBLEMS. BUT IT INSISTS THAT'S WELL WITHIN CONTINGENCY PLANS, AND THE $200m PROJECT TO BUILD A WHARF EXTENSION AND NEW CRUISE TERMINAL REMAINS ON TRACK. DUE FOR COMPLETION EARLY NEXT YEAR, THE WORK IS AT THE MID-POINT. MEI HERON WAS GIVEN AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR. SOLD ON THE VISION IT COULD BRING IN THE BIG GUNS, THIS, THE FIRST PROJECT GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT UNDER THIS GOVERNMENT'S FAST TRACK REGIME. IT'S A REALLY EXCITING BUILD AND IT'S GOING TO BE TWO YEARS FROM FROM APPLYING TO FINISHING IT. THE WHARF EXTENSION, THOUGH, PROVING MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN FIRST THOUGHT. $2m OVER BUDGET, AS DRILLING HIT AN UNEXPECTED ROCK LAYER. AUCKLAND PORT, THOUGH, CONFIDENT IT'LL MAKE THAT MONEY BACK. THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR MAJOR ROLL-ON, ROLL-OFF ` AND THAT'S FOR AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY LIKE BIG TRACTORS, CARS, AND THAT BUSINESS. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE CAPABILITY NOW FOR NEW ZEALAND TO HAVE EXTRA HEAVY BULK CARGO ALSO COME ACROSS IT. HERE, THE PORT'S AT ITS HIGHEST VOLUME FOR EIGHT YEARS DESPITE THE COUNTRY'S GLOOMY ECONOMIC OUTLOOK. EVERYTHING'S JUST KIND OF BEEN PUT ON HOLD, BUT THE UNDERLYING GOOD STUFF IS STILL THERE. SO, I THINK PREPARING FOR THAT HAPPENING, THAT'S PRUDENT ` IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. AND IT'S A GOOD STRONG SIGNAL THAT THIS IS SOME, YOU KNOW, OOMPH IN THE ECONOMY COMING. BIG CRUISE SHIPS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO DOCK HERE ` THIS TERMINAL CAPABLE OF PROCESSING 1500 PASSENGERS AN HOUR. BUT THIS INVESTMENT COMES AS THE CRUISE INDUSTRY BATTLES. ITS VALUE OF MORE THAN $1bn HAS BEEN ON THE DECLINE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. COST IS A HUGE ONE, AND REALLY, THE PERCEPTION THAT NEW ZEALAND WASN'T WELCOMING FOR CRUISE AND WASN'T INTERESTED IN CRUISE COMING TO NEW ZEALAND. THIS NEW TERMINAL SEEN AS A GAME CHANGER. WE HAD THE MINISTER OF TOURISM COME WITH US TO MIAMI TO MEET WITH CRUISE LINES AT SEA TRADE THIS YEAR, AND IT REALLY DID SHOW THAT WE WERE WE WERE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, AND THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE OF THAT. IN FACT, IT'S PROBABLY THE FLAGSHIP TO HOW NEW ZEALAND IS WANTING TO WELCOME CRUISE BACK. I THINK WHAT WE'RE BUILDING IS AHEAD OF THE GROWTH CURVE. SO, WHEN THE PASSENGERS COME BACK, AND THEY WILL, WE'LL BE READY FOR THEM. THE PROJECT'S STILL ON SCHEDULE ` THE WHARF SET TO OPEN AT THE TAIL END OF THE NEXT CRUISE SEASON. MEI HERON, 1NEWS. UKRAINE HAS STRUCK A KEY OIL REFINERY IN MOSCOW FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK, AND WITH DRAMATIC EFFECT. FOOTAGE OF A DRONE STRIKE ON A STORAGE TANK SHOWS THE LID BEING BLOWN HUNDREDS OF METRES INTO THE AIR.

DETAILS OF HIS RECOVERY ARE LIMITED TO MATERIAL IN HIS SHOW. CHARITIES SAY IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN HIGH PROFILE PEOPLE RAISE AWARENESS OF THE DISEASE. IT CAN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE DISEASE. AND THAT'S THE WORD THAT JEREMY CLARKSON HAS USED. FOR THOSE MEN, TREATMENT IS REALLY IMPORTANT, BUT IF DIAGNOSED AT AN EARLY STAGE, THERE ARE TREATMENT CHOICES AND THOSE TREATMENTS ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL. I HAVE RETURNED! YOU'RE BACK!

FROM JOB LOSSES TO AI COMPANIONS, YOUNG NEW ZEALANDERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAPID RISE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THEY WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO PUT PROPER GUARDRAILS IN PLACE. IT'S A CALL FOR STRONGER REGULATION THAT'S GETTING LOUDER BOTH HERE AND OVERSEAS. GILL HIGGINS REPORTS THEY'VE GROWN UP TECH SAVVY, BUT THESE STUDENTS SAY THEIR GENERATION HAS GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT AI. IT'S SO, LIKE FAST-DEVELOPING. I DON'T THINK WE'RE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IT CAN DO TO US. 1NEWS ASKED THEM TO QUIZ AN AI CHATBOT DIRECTLY ON THE ISSUES THAT WORRIED THEM MOST. WHAT IF THERE IS NO ACTIVE ROLE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT AI IS USED FOR GOOD? WE RISK AI BEING DRIVEN PURELY BY PROFIT OR SPEED, AND UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES GETS VIRAL, LIKE BIASES BECOMING EMBEDDED OR MISINFORMATION SPREADING. CONCERNS ARE MOUNTING EVERY MONTH. THE W.H.O. WARNING UNREGULATED AI WILL MAKE HEALTH INEQUALITIES MUCH WORSE, THE WHITE HOUSE SHUTTING DOWN THE LATEST VERSION OF THE AI MODEL, CLAUDE, FOR SECURITY REASONS, AND A NEW IPSOS POLL OF 32 COUNTRIES SHOWED 58% OF NEW ZEALANDERS THOUGHT AI WOULD MAKE THE JOB MARKET WORSE ` THE HIGHEST RATE OF PESSIMISM OF ANY COUNTRY SURVEYED. AI EXPERT ANDREW LENSEN SAYS EVEN NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS SEES THE NEED TO CONTROL DEVELOPMENT. SOME BUSINESS OWNERS I TALK TO ACTUALLY WANT REGULATION SO THAT THEY CAN THEN GO, OH, HERE'S THE GROUND RULES AND, THEREFORE, THEY CAN DO THE RIGHT THING. BUT THIS RESPONSE TO 1NEWS, SHOWS THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T INTERESTED ` DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS A NECESSARY INTRODUCTION? I THINK SOME FORM OF TARGETED REGULATION WILL EVENTUALLY BE NECESSARY. I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVEN'T SEEN REGULATIONS IS BECAUSE NOTHING HAS GONE WRONG, BAD ENOUGH YET, TO FORCE THE POLITICIANS TO CONFRONT IT. IF WE WERE MORE PROACTIVE, WE TRIED TO PUT THINGS IN PLACE NOW TO PREVENT THESE HARMS, OR AT LEAST MINIMISE THEM, WHY WOULD WE NOT DO THAT? IT'S WHAT THESE YOUNG ADULTS SAY THEY WANT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE GOVERNMENT PUT SOME PROPER LAWS, AND EVEN JUST A BIT MORE RESEARCH, INTO AI. ACTION TODAY TO GIVE THEM A SAFER TOMORROW. JILL HIGGINS, 1NEWS. SO WHAT DID A.I.

THEIR SKIPPER, THE SPARK IN THEIR MEETING WITH CROATIA AS THE THREE LIONS' 2026 CAMPAIGN ROARED INTO LIFE, IN A 2018 SEMI-FINAL REMATCH, WHERE ENGLAND WERE HUNTING REVENGE. IT'S A BRILLIANT BREAK. JUDE BELLINGHAM TELLS YOU ALL HE'S AT THE WORLD CUP. BUT CROATIA REFUSED TO SUCCUMB TO THEIR SURGE, FINDING ANSWERS TO BOTH KANE GOALS BEFORE THE BREAK. OH, IT'S A WONDERFUL GOAL FROM MUSA, IN THE FINISH AND IN THE CONSTRUCTION. BUT THE WORLD-NUMBER-FOUR SIDE BUILT MOMENTUM AS ENGLAND COACH THOMAS TUCHEL'S ATTACKING CHANGE PAID OFF ` BUKAYO SAKA AND MARCUS RASHFORD COMBINING FOR ENGLAND'S FOURTH. THAT'S THE GAME FOR ENGLAND. 85TH MINUTE, A COUNTERPUNCH. AND IT COULD WELL HAVE FLOORED CROATIA. THE MANAGER GAVE US A SPEECH AT HALF TIME JUST TO SAY, LOOK, IF WE LOSE, WE LOSE IN OUR WAY. AND I THINK YOU SAW THAT OUT OF THE WAY WE COME OUT IN THE SECOND HALF. WE WENT FULL GAS. KANE NOW EQUAL WITH ENGLISH GREAT GARY LINEKER ON WORLD CUP GOALS. THEIR FANS CELEBRATING IN TRUE ENGLISH FASHION. # I'D LIKE TO SAY TO YOU, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW. # BECAUSE MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME. THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO CELEBRATING IN SIMILAR STYLE, DRAWING 1-ALL WITH PORTUGAL. THAT'S INTERESTING. WISSA! WE HAVE HISTORY IN HOUSTON. A FIRST EVER WORLD CUP GOAL FOR D.R. CONGO. A DISMAL START FOR THE WORLD NUMBER FIVES ` NOW VERY MUCH NEEDING THEIR OWN STAR TO SHINE. BONNIE JANSEN, 1NEWS. WHILE THE ALL WHITES SQUAD HAD A RARE REST DAY IN CALIFORNIA AFTER THE IRAN DRAW. IT WAS ANYTHING BUT FOR INJURY REPLACEMENT LOGAN ROGERSON. THE AUCKLAND FC STRIKER TOUCHING DOWN AFTER 20-PLUS HOURS OF FLYING AND STRAIGHT INTO TRAINING TODAY. WORLD CUP REPORTER ZION DAYAL HAS THE LATEST FROM SAN DIEGO. TALK ABOUT A WHIRLWIND 48 HOURS FOR LOGAN ROGERSON. ONE AND TWO. PULLED OUT OF HOLIDAY MODE AND STRAIGHT INTO WORLD CUP DUTIES. PACKING FOR BALI. I HAD MY BOOTS THERE, MY, KINDA, SUITCASE SET OUT, AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE BOOTS AND THINKING, YOU KNOW, 'IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.' SO YEAH, I KINDA, GUESS, WHEN I WAS IN BALI, I WAS COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT FROM FOOTBALL. NOW HE'S CHECKED INTO ALL WHITES CAMP AFTER RECEIVING A 1AM S.O.S CALL FROM COACH DARREN BEESLEY WHILE ON VACATION WITH HIS PARTNER. I WAS IN BED, NOT AT A BEACH CLUB. UH, SHE WAS SAD, BUT OBVIOUSLY VERY HAPPY FOR ME AT THE SAME TIME. UM, I DID FEEL A BIT BAD LEAVING HER IN BALI. WENT TO A MONKEY FOREST QUICKLY, AND THEN, YEAH... AND THEN SHOT TO THE AIRPORT. THE AUCKLAND FC STRIKER, WHO WASN'T NAMED IN THE ORIGINAL SQUAD, REPLACING MATT GARBUTT, WHO WAS RULED OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT ON THE EVE OF THE ALL WHITES' FIRST MATCH. I MESSAGED HIM PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT AWAY AND JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, HOW SORRY I AM. AND YEAH, YOU KNOW, HE KIND OF MESSAGED ME BACK SAYING, BECAUSE WE'RE MATES, 'I'M GLAD IT'S YOU.' THE ALL WHITES' CALIFORNIA DREAM ISN'T OVER JUST YET. THEY'LL SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS HERE IN SAN DIEGO TRAINING BEFORE RELOCATING TO VANCOUVER. A PRETTY HARD PLACE TO SAY GOODBYE TO. BUT UP NEXT IS EGYPT, WHO DREW WITH BELGIUM IN THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE WORLD CUP. I TRAINED THIS MORNING SO, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T EVEN TAKE BOOTS TO BALI, SO IT WAS FUNNY. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET SOME SENT YESTERDAY, BUT THEY ACTUALLY GOT SENT TO SAN JOSE INSTEAD OF SAN DIEGO. AS HE GETS HIS BEARINGS, ROGERSON'S WORLD CUP DREAM IS STARTING TO SETTLE IN. I REMEMBER WATCHING IT WITH MY FATHER. I REMEMBER WATCHING THESE GAMES AND, YOU KNOW, AFTER THAT WORLD CUP, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE I KIND OF FUELLED MY DREAM TO PLAY FOR THE ALL WHITES. CALLING HIM, TELLING HIM ` WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? HE WAS BUZZING FOR ME. UM... YEAH, JUST MY WHOLE FAMILY, REALLY. I THINK, YOU KNOW... I THINK ALMOST... THEY WERE MORE HAPPIER THAN ME. NOT JUST MAKING HIS FAMILY PROUD, BUT HIS PEOPLE TOO. PROUD MAORI FROM THE 824 GOING TO THE WORLD CUP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ZION DAYAL, 1NEWS, SAN DIEGO. DEPARTING WARRIORS HALFBACK LUKE METCALF HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE A LONG AWAITED RETURN TO THE NRL. ST GEORGE-BOUND METCALF HASN'T PLAYED FIRST GRADE SINCE EARLY APRIL IN PART DUE TO A HAMSTRING INJURY. AFTER TWO GAMES IN THE RESERVES, THE WARRIORS MAY WELL INCLUDE HIM ON THE EXTENDED BENCH AGAINST THE COWBOYS IN CHRISTCHURCH THIS WEEKEND. ALWAYS LEAVE THAT AN HOUR UNTIL KICKOFF. THAT'S JUST SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THAT TO OURSELVES. AND THEN THE COWBOYS DON'T KNOW WHAT WE PLAN TO DO. BUT, HE HAS, OBVIOUSLY, A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO BE JUST IN OUR 19 AND BE FRESH AND NOT PLAY IN RESERVE GRADE. ORIGIN PLAYERS KURT CAPEWELL AND MITCH BARNETT ARE ALSO IN THE MIX. A DECISION ON THEIR INVOLVEMENT WILL BE MADE BY SUNDAY. MEANWHILE A 36-POINT SECOND-HALF ONSLAUGHT HAS SEEN CAPEWELL'S QUEENSLAND FIGHT BACK IN STATE OF ORIGIN, ENSURING GAME THREE IS A SERIES DECIDER. TRAILING NEW SOUTH WALES 12-8 AT HALF-TIME, THE QUEENSLANDERS PUT ON A CLINIC IN THE SECOND 40. SELWYN COBBO WITH A HAT-TRICK, WHILE MAORI ALL STAR JOJO FIFITA SCORED HIS FIRST ORIGIN TRY IN THE 44-24 VICTORY. THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY` OH, HE'S BEEN HAMMERED. HE'S BEEN HAMMERED. NOW COBBO DOWN THE WING. HE DIGS IT BACK. AND HAMISO TABUAI-FIDOW. QUEENSLAND'S TO LOSE, AND GRANT, DUMMY'S GOT IT, PLOUGHING STRAIGHT THROUGH AND OVER, AND WE'RE HEADING TO SUNCORP. BARNETT FOR THE BLUES SCORING THE LAST TRY OF THE NIGHT, THOUGH MERE CONSOLATION. GAME THREE WILL BE PLAYED IN BRISBANE IN THREE WEEKS. WHAT BETTER WAY TO TRY AND BREAK A 10-YEAR SUPER RUGBY TITLE DROUGHT, THAN WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM A FURRY FRIEND. WHILE THE HURRICANES HAD THEIR FINAL FULL HIT OUT TODAY BEFORE SATURDAY NIGHT'S DECIDER AT WELLINGTON ZOO, SOMEONE ELSE WAS MAKING ALL THE RIGHT MOVES. HERE'S LUKE ROBINSON. MEANWHILE, SUPER RUGBY AUPIKI'S SET TO BE BOLSTERED I JUST TURNED 15. I WAS WATCHING IT AT HOME WITH SOME OF MY MATES. THERE WILL BE KIDS WHO ARE WATCHING US AND ME FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCE THAT THE HURRICANE'S GAVE THEM A GOOD TIME SO THEY CAN LOOK BACK ON IT WITH FOND MEMORIES. BY A NUMBER OF NATIONAL SEVENS PLAYERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON. A CHANGE TO SCHEDULING ALLOWING TOP ATHLETES TO PLAY BOTH VERSIONS OF THE GAME, THOUGH FIFTEENS IS A MUST, IF THEY WANT TO BE IN WHITNEY HANSEN'S BLACK FERNS MOVING FORWARD. KATE WELLS HAS MORE. LAST WEEK IT WAS SEVENS IN FRANCE, TODAY 15s AT GRIBBLEHURST PARK IN AUCKLAND. DEFINITELY DIFFERENT SETTINGS, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A LOT SUNNIER IN EUROPE. BUT YEAH, VERY, VERY HAPPY TO BE BACK. WITH AUPIKI'S START DATE PUSHED BACK BY THREE MONTHS, IT'S MADE IT EASIER FOR PLAYERS LIKE BRAXTON SORENSEN-MCGEE AND KATELYN VAHA'AKOLO TO RETURN TO THE BLUES. IT JUST MEANS I CAN PLAY FOOTY ALL YEAR ROUND AND I THINK I'M GROWING MY GAME JUST AS ANY OTHER PLAYER WOULD WANT TO. IT'S SUCH A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AND I FEEL VERY BLESSED THAT I CAN PLAY BOTH. VAHA'AKOLO AND SORENSEN-MCGEE A BIG PART OF THE SIDE'S SUCCESS IN 2025. BRAXTON SORENSEN-MCGEE, THIS 18-YEAR-OLD WONDERKID. ALSO PART OF THE BLACK FERNS' 15s WORLD CUP SIDE LAST YEAR. HEAD COACH WHITNEY HANSON'S INDICATED THOSE SEEKING HIGHER HONOURS MUST PLAY SUPER RUGBY. I LOVE THAT FROM WHIT. LIKE, SHE'S TALKED AROUND THE LIONS TO INBOUND NEXT YEAR. SO, GIRLS NEED TO BE PLAYING, PUTTING THEIR HAND UP, PLAYING 15s. AND THAT'S PROBABLY A REFLECTION OR A LEARNING OFF THE BACK OF THE LAST WORLD CUP. MAYBE THEY DIDN'T PLAY ENOUGH RUGBY ` 15s RUGBY. MATATU HAVE TWO BLACK FERNS' SEVENS ON THEIR ROSTER ` MAIA DAVIS AND ALENA SAILI. WHILE THEY BRING THEIR OWN STRENGTHS FROM THE SEVENS PROGRAM, THERE'S STILL A LOT TO LEARN. I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY HUMBLING ` ESPECIALLY TODAY, MAN, LIKE THE PHYSICALITY, LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT TERMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT'S NICE TO BE SORT OF LIKE A STUDENT OF THE GAME. OBVIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN IN SEVENS FOR SO LONG, SO TO COME HERE, IT'S WHOLE NEW LEARNING, WHOLE NEW SET UP. SO DEFINITELY A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE. BUT YEAH, IT'S GOOD GROWTH. AND IMPORTANT IF THE WOMEN'S GAME IS TO KEEP EVOLVING IN NEW ZEALAND. KATE WELLS, 1NEWS. A GLENN PHILLIPS FIGHT-BACK'S PUT THE BLACKCAPS IN A STRONG POSITION ON DAY ONE OF THE SECOND TEST AGAINST ENGLAND AT THE OVAL. BATTING FIRST, NEW ZEALAND WERE 107/4 AT ONE STAGE, BEFORE TOM BLUNDELL AND GLENN PHILLIPS RIGHTED THE INNINGS, BUILDING CRUCIAL PARTNERSHIPS, HELPING THE VISITORS RECOVER TO 291/7 AT STUMPS. LOVELY DRIVE. RUNS HAVE ACTUALLY FLOWED QUITE QUICKLY FOR NEW ZEALAND AFTER TEA. THUNDEROUS DRIVE AS FISHER LOOKS TO PITCH THE BALL UP AND SWING IT AWAY. PHILIPS WILL RETURN TO THE CREASE THIS EVENING ONE RUN SHY OF HIS SIXTH TEST HALF-CENTURY, AS HE AND KYLE JAMIESON LOOK TO PUSH PAST 350. THAT'S IT FROM ME. DAN HAS YOUR WEATHER NEXT. THEN ON SEVEN SHARP ` ARE WE GETTING TOO CHATTY WITH THE CHAT BOTS; THE UNI STUDENTS FACING THE PROS AND CONS OF AN AI FUTURE. PLUS ` RUN, TRAIL, CARBON, OR TOE GRIPPERS; WE DIP INTO THE MODERN MINEFIELD OF FINDING THE RIGHT PAIR OF SHOES. WE'LL SEE YOU SHORTLY AT SEVEN.
