Fonterra's elaborating on the details of their consumer brand sell-off. The conundrum comes off the back of a monster half year result in which operating profit rose to 16%. The planned divestment could see brands like Anchor and Mainland sold off. CEO Miles Hurrell told Mike Hosking the key for any good business is knowing what you're good at. He says that over the years, the returns as an ingredients business have been stellar, but farmers aren't getting the desired return on capital from the consumer side of things. He says they believe they can get higher returns from investing that cash back into ingredients and food service. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thousands of mainland Chinese are choosing Malaysia’s laid-back vibes over their stressful lives back home. Synopsis: Every month, The Straits Times analyses the hottest political and trending talking points, alternating between its Malaysia and China bureaus.

Before the creation of the European colonial states in the nineteenth century, Southeast Asia had hundreds of royal families, large and small. Today, only a small number survive. In his book, Champassak Royalty and Sovereignty: Within and Between Nation-States in Mainland Southeast Asia (U Wisconsin Press, 2024), Ian Baird uncovers the history of one of these royal lineages, the House of Champassak, located formerly in southern Laos. Dating back to the late seventeenth century, this royal lineage has survived enormous political changes in Laos and the surrounding region: including becoming a vassal of the Thai kingdom; French colonial rule; national independence; and the communist takeover of Laos in 1975. But despite not being a ‘national monarchy', as Baird shows, for a long time the House of Champassak has exerted a special kind of sovereignty. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this illuminating episode of "This is How We Create," host Martine Severin sits down with Ube Urban, a multifaceted creative leader who brings his Pacific Islander heritage to the forefront of his design practice and mentorship approach. Born in Hawaii with Japanese, Black, Native American, and Filipino roots, Ube shares his journey from island life to becoming a head of customer experience in corporate America. Through candid conversation, he reveals the challenges of maintaining cultural identity while navigating mainland expectations and professional environments where he is often "the only one." In this episode, you'll discover: How Ube's upbringing in Hawaii shaped his approach to organization, presentation, and identity The concept of "invisible work" in both design and cultural navigation Ube's framework for mentorship helps others discover and maintain authentic personal brands The struggles of cultural displacement and the pressure to compartmentalize identity in professional settings Why "authenticity" can be a complicated concept for those with multicultural backgrounds Ube offers valuable insights for creatives navigating multicultural identities, providing a compelling perspective on maintaining cultural roots while forging new professional paths. His story reminds us that true decolonization of design means embracing the full intersectionality of our experiences. Quotes from the episode: "When I came to the mainland, I was essentially this person kind of holding this gem... and then I had battle balloons over time and my shiny diamond turned into this rough rock." "Being in Hawaii, you're just like, 'This is who I am, this is who we all are.' I don't have to prove to you my existence or my family or pride. We all share that." "How can you control something that a corporation, an agency, or a company cannot control? That is the hardest part."

In this episode of the Faces of the Future Podcast the guys are back with a week full of unexpected news. They guys discuss the return of Lucci and the top rappers from Atlanta are today. The guys they discuss where they think Shilo Sanders will land in the NFL Draft, recap last week's playoff games and give their predictions on the Super Bowl. Then they review The Weeknd's and EST Gee's new album releases, the plane crashes in DC and Philly, plus more.

Get ready for another chaotic and hilarious episode of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria's funniest and #1 comedy podcast, hosted by Mayowa, Tmt, and Koj. In Episode 221: "Opeyemi Famakin vs David Hundeyin and Joey Akan vs The Alté-Right," the guys dive into everything from Yoruba culture to Twitter beefs and Lagos drama. The episode starts with Tmt confessing he wore the same outfit to a wedding on Saturday and a funeral on Sunday. This sparks a deep dive into Yoruba traditional attire, with the guys debating why the classic styles outshine modern interpretations. Mayowa takes us on a journey through the All Saints Church Yaba vs St. Jude's beef, before things heat up with a breakdown of the much-discussed feud between David Hundeyin and Opeyemi Famakin. Tmt recounts his run-ins with the FRSC and the Police, sharing the chaos and humor in his recent encounters. Meanwhile, the guest offers insight into the Nigerian comedy scene and what it's like dating as a comedian in Lagos—leading to a roasting session about Tmt's love life as he dramatically declares, “I'm serious now!” The guys also explore the idea of rebranding Submarine and A Roach as Nigeria's Joe Rogan podcast, which somehow ends with the roasting of Peter Obi and a hilarious reading of a Dele Momodu diss from Twitter. They shift gears to discuss dating Ibadan women, the Trevor Noah joke theft allegations and the eternal debate of marriages vs. being single—with Tmt hilariously coining the term “the punishment for being single is how expensive life is.” The conversation gets spicy with Joey Akan vs the Alté community, as Tmt unveils his concept of the Alté-Right and rallies his imaginary army. The guys unpack why Nigerians root for winners, how the Alté scene scaled despite critics, and whether people are too quick to dismiss the gray areas in debates. From Tech Cabal's coverage of bad news to casting for “Children of Blood and Bone”, Nollywood, custom pillows as Nigerian heritage, and the Mainland vs Island divide, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of roasting. The guys wrap it all up with a discussion about the fire at Bogobiri, their experiences watching comedy there, and an imaginary world where Dr. Umar becomes the President of the United States. It's unfiltered, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious—everything you expect from Submarine and A Roach! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Bird flu has been confirmed in a fourth shed at Mainland Poultry's Hillgrove farm in Otago. MPI's Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Mary van Andel spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Lisa O'Carroll, Ireland Correspondent with The Guardian, reports on the cross border effort to crack down on people smugglers.

Two truck loads of chicken carcasses, eggs and litter from an Otago farm infected with bird flu have been taken to a landfill in Southland. It's day two of the cull of 80,000 birds after some tested positive for the highly contagious H7N6 strain of avian influenza at the Moeraki free range farm managed by Mainland poultry. MPI is waiting on results from a thousand samples taken from half a dozen farms of interest. Delphine Herbert reports.

A second Otago free range chicken farm is in isolation and testing is underway after birds started showing signs of illness and a number have died. The property has about six thousand birds and is not owned by Mainland poultry, but MPI is investigating whether it is linked to the Mainland farm with the confirmed outbreak. Associate Agriculture Minister and Minister for Biosecurity Andrew Hoggard spoke to Lisa Owen.
