The changes go out for public consultation tomorrow. § Foreign Minister Winston Peters has taken another veiled swing at the prime minister's phone call to world leaders over US tariffs. Peters told a gathering at the East-West Center there had been unfortunate and misguided debate recently about how international trade works. From Tonga on Friday, Peters criticised Prime Minister Christopher Luxon for talking with world leaders about the US tariff situation without consulting him in advance. Peters spoke about New Zealand's commitment to the Pacific during a speech in Honolulu, Hawai'i. § More than $2 billion is paid out annually in accommodation supplements, but new research from the University of Auckland suggests it isn't doing much to help renters. Using data from 2019 through to 2023, they found that the supplement was not significantly improving affordability. People who received the supplement spent more of their income on rent than those who did not get it. § Thousands from towns in Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia arrived by buses on Saturday to attend a rally in Belgrade organised in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, whose grip on power has been threatened by months of anti-corruption protests. The rally is seen as Vucic's response to the big anti-government rally on March 15, when more than 100,000 people attended the biggest protest in decades. In Belgrade, protesters tried to prevent buses from reaching the city centre and threw eggs at them, triggering police intervention. § Sports. @1203z trailer for RNZ National Online. @1304z Weather Forecast: Mostly cloudy, rain, some heavy falls.Some thunderstorms.

A panel in parliament has been considering a petition from a Kenyan citizen to ban the Chinese-owned platform. The recommendation follows accusations from the interior ministry that the platform has been used to spread propaganda, carry out fraud, and distribute sexual content. § Kenya's government has advised lawmakers against banning TikTok over concerns about content shared on the platform and instead recommended stricter oversight by regulators. § Academy Awards show § Vitel’homme Innocent’s picture on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list of fugitives suggests a crazed man – eyes wide and wild, teeth bared. It’s the photo you might expect for a gang leader accused of destabilizing a nation, who claims to be under divine protection, and who has a $2 million bounty on his head for alleged kidnappings. § Helicopters buzzed above the waves, and vessels were already scouring the cold waters when French maritime rescue volunteer Charles Devos added his boat to the frantic search for a flimsy migrant craft that foundered in the English Channel, killing at least 27. What Devos found was gruesome. But not, he later sorrowfully acknowledged, wholly unexpected. With migrants often setting off by the hundreds in flotillas of unseaworthy and overloaded vessels into the busy shipping lane crisscrossed by hulking freighters and frequently beset by treacherous weather, waves, and currents, Devos had long feared that tragedy would ensue. That came this week with the deadliest migration accident to date on the dangerous stretch of sea that separates France and Britain. @0506z “Newsday” begins. 100' (30m) of Kev-Flex wire feeding "Magic Wand" antenna hanging in backyard tree w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), JRC NRD-535D, 250kW, beamAz 115°, bearing 103°.

Several Pride events have seen intrusive protests over the weekend by the 'Man Up' group linked to Destiny Church. Church leader Brian Tamaki said he told protesters: "I want you to storm the library they're in." About 30 adults and young children had to be barricaded into a room in a library in West Auckland Saturday, when the group tried to drown out a drag king children's reading event. § At least 48 people, mostly women, were killed in the collapse of an illegally operated gold mine in western Mali. "The toll at 18.00 today is 48 dead following the collapse," said a local police source. "Some of the victims fell into the water. Among them was a woman with her baby on her back." Mali is among the world's poorest countries despite being one of Africa's leading gold producers. Gold mining sites are regularly the scene of deadly collapses and authorities struggle to control artisanal mining of the precious metal. Saturday's accident took place at an abandoned site formerly operated by a Chinese company. § Researchers are working to improve earthquake forecasting along New Zealand's biggest fault - the Hikurangi subduction zone - where a massive quake and tsunami could result in tens of thousands of casualties. Off the North Island's East Coast the Pacific tectonic plate dives underneath the Australian plate. Researchers from Otago, Victoria and Massey universities, along with GNS Science, were now trying to establish the relationship between earthquake swarms and the potential for sudden large earthquakes where strong shaking lasted seconds to minutes, causing widespread damage. § Pope Francis apologized for missing Sunday mass in St. Peter's square because he was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Friday, Feb. 14, to undergo testing and treatment for bronchitis, the Vatican said. @1303z Standards and Complaints PSA. @1304z Weather Forecast: Orange heavy rain warnings in the north 120-140mm within 24hrs.

English, s/on @0458z with Bowbells int. fb ID, pips and Newsday preview. @0501z World News anchored by Neil Nunes. § Trump urged Israel to cancel the ceasefire with Hamas if all hostages aren't released by Saturday, warning of severe consequences if the hostages aren't freed. Hamas delayed the release of hostages, citing Israel's violation of the ceasefire terms, and stated they would hold off on further releases until Israel meets its obligations. The ceasefire deal, which aimed to exchange hostages for Palestinians, faces increasing tension as Hamas demands a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal for remaining captives. § A consortium of investors led by Elon Musk offered $97.4bn to take over OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. The offer is the latest twist in a longstanding battle between Musk, the world's richest man and right hand to US President Donald Trump, and Open AI chief executive Sam Altman over the future of the start-up at the centre of the AI boom. In response to the bid, Altman posted on Musk's social media platform X: "no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want." § U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to consider exempting Australia from his steel and aluminium tariffs in view of the country's trade surplus with the United States, following a phone call with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Trump substantially raised tariffs on steel and aluminium imports on Monday, cancelling exemptions and duty-free quotas for major suppliers in a move that could boost the risk of a multi-front trade war. § US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order ending a US government effort to replace plastic straws with paper. The order, which takes effect immediately, reverses a measure signed by former President Joe Biden, who had called plastic pollution a "crisis". § Two Venezuelan planes returned home Monday with about 190 Venezuelans deported from the United States, signaling a possible thaw in relations between two longtime diplomatic adversaries and a victory for President Donald Trump in his efforts to get more countries to take their people back. § Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe on Monday denied charges of bribery and witness tampering as he made his opening statement in the first criminal trial of a former president in the country’s history. Speaking to a judge in the capital, Bogota, Uribe said that he would prove that the charges against him “are politically motivated.” § The vast majority of governments are likely to miss a looming deadline to file vital plans that will determine whether or not the world has a chance of avoiding the worst ravages of climate breakdown. Despite the urgency of the crisis, the UN is relatively relaxed at the prospect of the missed date. Officials are urging countries instead to take time to work harder on their targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions and divest from fossil fuels. § Police in Austria have issued a European arrest warrant for a woman they believe posed as a shaman to defraud victims out of large sums of money. Police said they discovered cash, jewellery and gold worth over 10m euros (£8.3 million) at the woman's house in Mödling, near Vienna. They said the suspect is a 44-year-old Austrian citizen named only as Mariana M, who went by the name Amela. @0506z “Newsday” begins. 100' (30m) of Kev-Flex wire feeding "Magic Wand" antenna hanging in backyard tree w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), JRC NRD-535D, 250kW, beamAz 115°, bearing 103°.

English, @0400z "Worldwide News Update" anchored by Joe Ramsey. § Egypt will host an emergency Arab summit on 27 February to discuss what it described as "serious" developments for Palestinians, according to a statement from the Egyptian foreign ministry on Sunday. The summit comes amid regional and global condemnation of U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion to "take over the Gaza Strip" from Israel and create a "Riviera of the Middle East" after resettling Palestinians elsewhere. § Top Trump administration officials are openly questioning the judiciary’s authority to serve as a check on executive power as the new president’s sweeping agenda faces growing pushback from the courts. Over the past 24 hours, officials ranging from billionaire Elon Musk to Vice President JD Vance have not only criticized a federal judge’s decision early Saturday that blocks Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records, but have also attacked the legitimacy of judicial oversight, a fundamental pillar of American democracy, which is based on the separation of powers. § Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not confirmed that he will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump next week but said the coming weeks may be "very intensive in diplomacy." "We're looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their rare earths and other things,” Trump said on Feb. 3. He said on Feb. 7 that the United States wants "an equal amount of something" in exchange for U.S. support. “We would like them to equalize," Trump said. More than four dozen minerals, including several types of rare earths, nickel and lithium, are considered critical to the U.S. economy and national defense. Ukraine has large deposits of uranium, lithium and titanium. Ukraine floated the idea of opening its critical minerals to investment by allies last year when it presented its plan to end the war and now suggests it could be open to a deal. "If we are talking about a deal, then let's do a deal. We are only for it," Zelenskyy said on Feb. 7, emphasizing Ukraine's need for security guarantees from its allies as part of any settlement of the war. § Groups representing some of South Africa's white minority responded Saturday to a plan by President Donald Trump to offer them refugee status and resettlement in the United States by saying: thanks, but no thanks. The plan was detailed in an executive order Trump signed Friday that stopped all aid and financial assistance to South Africa as punishment for what the Trump administration said were ��rights violations” by the government against some of its white citizens. The Trump administration accused the South African government of allowing violent attacks on white Afrikaner farmers and introducing a land expropriation law that enables it to “seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation.” @0405z "Daybreak Africa" begins presented by James Butty (w/African accent). 100' (30m) of Kev-Flex wire feeding "Magic Wand" antenna hanging in backyard tree w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), JRC NRD-535D. 100kW, beamAz 350°, bearing 84°.
