In a dramatic shift at the United Nations oceans conference in Lisbon this week, a series of Pacific Governments have formed an alliance to oppose deep sea mining in international waters but Greenpeace says the continued silence from the New Zealand Government on the issue is deafening. To standing ovations, a series of Pacific nations including Fiji and Samoa joined an alliance opposing deep sea mining announced by Palau on Monday. Adding to the momentum, the following day, Tuvalu, Tonga, and Guam announced their support for a halt to deep sea mining and France is now also calling for a legal and robust framework to ban deep sea mining in the high seas. But to date, the New Zealand Government has not formed a position on the issue. Joe spoke to James Hita, part of the Deep Seabed and Mining Campaign at Greenpeace Aotearoa on the matter.

What is a beautifully colored arboreal species found only on the Fiji Islands? We're talking about the Fiji Iguana! Hosts Rick and Ebone reveal what makes the Fiji banded iguana unique, how this lizard is perfectly shaded to camouflage with the forest, and what classifies a lizard to be an iguana. San Diego Zoo curator of herpetology, Kim Gray, makes an appearance to explain the Species Survival Program (SSP) and the threats that impact the Fiji banded iguana.

We started the week horrified by the random killing of Laisa Waka on Cheyenne Street in Sockburn, in Christchurch.She'd been at work last Saturday at a retirement village, finished up, got the bus home, had a 300 metre walk from the bus stop to her house, was nearly there - it was about 20-past-four - but she didn't make it home. She was attacked in broad daylight by a man with a knife. Emergency services got there, but they couldn't save her and she died at the scene.The police, at that point, were saying that the man allegedly responsible for the killing was known to them. It was also being reported back on Monday that he was in the care of mental health services.That's how our week started and we were horrified.Five days on, and now that we know more, we are scratching our heads wondering how the hell this was allowed to happen.Because, since Monday, we've learned that the man accused of killing Laisa was on community leave from a specialist mental health facility at Hillmorton Hospital. As it's been reported, he had been in a secure unit but somehow he was allowed to leave.At about 2 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, he walked out of Hillmorton and got a bus to his brother's place in Sockburn. At some point he left his brother's place, and it was shortly after that when the alleged killing took place.It was 4.45pm when the Police were notified that the man wasn't at the hospital - nearly 30 minutes after the alleged killing happened.Today, there are further developments, with it being reported that since this all happened, staff at the mental health unit have quit their jobs.We don't know how many but a report I've seen says “several”.Although, health authorities have since disputed that.The same report also quotes a Hillmorton staff member who says a meeting had been held to discuss whether or not the man should be allowed to leave the unit, but the final decision was made by a psychiatrist.As this person is quoted as saying, some staff at the hospital didn't think he should've been allowed to leave because he had been quite volatile in the days leading up to last weekend and alarm bells were going off for some people.According to this report, it is thought that the psychiatrist who made the call to grant the man community leave has since gone on stress leave. Which I for one can certainly understand. Can you imagine being the person who made that call?Not that the psychiatrist can expect much sympathy from Andrew Little who was asked this week whether, as Health Minister, he carries the blame for the man being allowed to leave Hillmorton. In short, he doesn't think he does.Although Andrew Little is getting his Director of Mental Health to do an inspection of Hillmorton Hospital. Which I gather isn't done lightly because it requires using statutory powers which seem to be some sort of last resort.But do you think that's going to be of any comfort to Laisa Waka's family who held a funeral for her in Christchurch yesterday and who're flying her body back home to Fiji today? Do you think they'll care about that? Not right now they won't, anyway.But they will want to know how the hell this happened. Her husband was saying as much earlier in the week when the health board was being all tight-lipped on it, hiding behind that age-old lame excuse of not commenting on something being investigated by the police.Which is a load of old nonsense because whatever happened in the lead-up to that man walking out of Hillmorton last Saturday has nothing to do with determining whether or not he is guilty of the crime he is accused of.And, as the week has gone on, the health board has been forced to prise open its lips and be a little bit more upfront about what actually happened last weekend.Typically, though, most of the info has come from the people on the inside at Hillmorton who are having to deal with the cards handed to them by the health board and the Government.Remember, it was back in January when the He...

It's been three COVID-riddled years since Fiji, Samoa and Tonga competed for the Pacific Nations Cup. In the interim World Rugby have changed their rules to allow players of Pacific origin to represent their countries of heritage, even if they have previously played for another country, opening the door for big names, including Israel Folau and Charles Piutau.

He pays his tithing first. He will literally see the windows of heaven open.”President Nelson Quote #1: In Samoa, Fiji, and Tahiti, just as the meetings began, the rain stopped. But in Tonga, the rain did not stop. Yet 13,000 faithful Saints came hours early to get a seat, waited patiently through a steady downpour, and then sat through a very wet two-hour meeting. We saw vibrant faith at work among each of those islanders—faith sufficient to stop the rain and faith to persevere when the rain did not stop.

Commotion in the world will continue to increase.

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Warbeard Irish Red Ale from Walnut River Brewing. She's excited to tell the Termites about her recent show in Salina Kansas with her teen idol, Shaun Cassidy, who turned out to be a wonderful person. She reviews her breakfast “Screwdriver Slush” from Spangles restaurant and stopped at the Wizard of Oz Museum in Wamego, KS on her way back home to Missouri. Kathleen then describes the events of Father's Day weekend at Lake of the Ozarks, participating in the annual Father's Day golf tournament with her dad and sister. “GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Wishbone Champagne Vinaigrette dressing, which she thinks is WAY too sweet and tangy. She moves on to sample Ranch Wheat Thins, which she doesn't think taste at ALL like Ranch. She finishes her tasting with Kansas's own Art's & Mary's Tater Chips, which she thinks have fantastic crunch and flavor. QUEEN'S COURT: Kathleen updates the Termites on the activities of the queens: Queen Dolly has given $1M to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital for pediatric infectious diseases research, Stevie Nicks closed out Bonnaroo Sunday night and finishing this leg of her tour, and Chaka Khan and Queen Tanya Tucker are both having a blast out on tour. UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on the stolen Hollywood chimp found in a Missouri basement, Russia's new McDonalds roll-out, Russian superyacht Amadea is confiscated in Fiji, McDonald's dumps the McPlant burger, Anna Delvey mints 2,000 NFT's to sell, and Kathleen digs further into Teal Swan's beginnings and marketing platform. “HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT”: Kathleen is amazed to read about the discovery of the “The Depiction of the Madonna and Child,” Renaissance-era painting in a 90-year-old woman's London bedroom, and the origin of the Black Death in northern Kyrgyzstan, and a woolly mammoth tusk was found off the banks of Alaska's Koyukuk River.FAKING JOAN OF ARC: Kathleen laughs while reading an article about a Medieval woman who made a living pretending to be Joan of Arc. Claude des Armoises's ploy lasted four years, earned her a great deal of cash—and almost ensnared the King of France himself.ARMADILLOS CONTINUE THEIR MARCH: Kathleen is fascinated to watch the migration of armadillos in the US, so much so that she talks about it in her act. She reads an article about the mystery behind this migration, as Armadillos have now been seen as north as Virginia. SAFEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD: Kathleen reads the 2022 list of Safest Countries in the World, with Iceland taking the top spot this year. GAME STOP WALK-OUT: Kathleen is amused reading an article about mass walk-outs by GameStop employees, citing unhealthy work conditions. GEICO ORDERED TO PAY WHEN STD CONTRACTED IN A CAR: Kathleen shakes her head in disbelief when reading an article advising that a Missouri woman was awarded $5.2 million in a settlement from insurance company GEICO after contracting a sexually transmitted disease from her partner in his vehicle, which was insured by the company, court documents show.THE AMERICAN WHO INVENTED THE DONUT: Kathleen shares the story of Maine mariner Captain Hanson Gregory, who as a teenage galley boy, turned a poorly cooked blob of sailors' sustenance into the iconic, ring-shaped, and deep-fried delicacy we know and love today. WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching the new Season 6 of “Peaky Blinders” on Netflix, and Teal Swan's documentary “The Deep End” on Hulu.SEE KATHLEEN LIVE: See Kathleen live on her “Do You Have Any Ranch?” Tour.

The Russian-owned yacht called “Amadea” was seized by U.S. officials and sailed in Honolulu Harbor just before 11 a.m. The vessel had been moored in Fiji, before the U.S. began targeting assets of Russian oligarchs with ties to Vladimir Putin due to the war in Ukraine. On Tuesday, the U.S. won a ruling in Fiji's Supreme Court to take control of the ship. This came after local officials said keeping the yacht ported was “costing their government dearly,” Bloomberg reported. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
