The country's recorded its deadliest King's Birthday Weekend on the roads in a decade. Three people were killed in a two-car collision on the Desert Road early yesterday morning, following two crashes in Taupō, a crash on Waiheke Island, and a crash in Dunedin. That brings the total number of deaths to at least seven. AA Road Safety Spokesperson Dylan Thomsen told Francesca Rudkin overall road deaths are falling but are still higher than other countries. He says we're improving, but this weekend just shows how a few moments can destroy people's lives. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pandemija, karas Ukrainoje, nuolatinis neapibrėžtumas – atrodytų, kad tokios krizės turėjo stipriai paveikti jaunų žmonių psichikos sveikatą. Tačiau naujas Lietuvos ir Vokietijos mokslininkų tyrimas rodo kur kas sudėtingesnį vaizdą ir pažvelgus giliau matoma, kad dauguma jaunų žmonių išliko stabilūs ar jautėsi net šiek tiek geriau, o maždaug kas ketvirtas per pandemiją ir karo laikotarpį susidūrė su ryškiu psichikos sveikatos pablogėjimu.Lietuvos visuomenė sparčiai sensta, tačiau valstybė tam vis dar nėra iki galo pasiruošusi. Nors vyresni žmonės gyvena ilgiau, jų gyvenimo kokybė atsilieka nuo Europos sąjungos vidurkio, o daugiau nei trečdalis patiria skurdo riziką. Valstybės kontrolės auditas rodo ir kitą problemą – senjorai per mažai įtraukiami į visuomeninį gyvenimą: kultūrinėse veiklose dalyvauja mažiau nei pusė, savanoriauja tik apie dešimtadalis, o realias priemones jų aktyvumui didinti planuoja vos kelios savivaldybės.Stipriai pakilus kuro kainoms Europos Sąjungos atstovai, o ir Lietuvos politikai, siūlo įvairias taupymo priemones – nuo darbo iš namų iki greičio ribojimo keliuose. Taupų vairavimą prisiminė ir patys vairuotojai. Kaip vairuoti ekonomiškai?

Ryan Wood's eager to prove success his in Taupō was no fluke when he gets back behind the wheel of his Toyota at the maiden Supercars event in Christchurch. Four races will be staged across the weekend, including a postponed race from last week's weather hampered stop in Taupo. Wood picked up his second career victory and a third placing across the two races that were completed. Wood told Mike Hosking they'll find out tomorrow if his momentum from last Saturday will pull through to this weekend's races. “If there is momentum, then I'll be trying to use it. I've still got confidence, so we'll see how it goes.” “At the end of the day, I don't overthink it, just go out there and drive.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Where are the small fish?" This is a question that routinely comes up when fly fishing for trout in areas of New Zealand. Mike Dawes joins up with Ben Hall and Sean Andrews, two highly experienced New Zealand trout guides, to share some of the highlights of a recent trip to the Taupō region of NZ's North Island. These guys discuss some of the characteristics of South Island and North Island fly fishing, the necessity of team work and strong wading, and the thrill of observing Ben maneuver the helicopter into super narrow and super fishy areas! 

Over 2000 homes are still without power after Cyclone Vaianu swept across the country. All evacuation orders have now been lifted and many communities feel they dodged a bullet with the storm. The wet weather isn't over yet though - with heavy rain watches still in place for Northern Taranaki, Waitomo, Taumarunui, and Taupō west of the lake. Alexa Cook reports. 

Cyclone chaos, a reshaped Supercars weekend — and a driver market move that could shake the whole grid.This week on the Auto Action RevLimiter, we break down the Taupō round that never quite was, as wild weather forces a rethink and turns Saturday into the main event. From Ryan Wood's breakthrough win for Toyota to the growing noise around parity and performance, there's plenty bubbling under the surface.But that's just the start.We dive deep into the Matt Payne story — GM's quiet but aggressive push, what it means for Cadillac's future, and why this is more than just another contract rumour.Plus, exclusive chats with Neil Crompton and Barclay Nettlefold, giving rare insight into the decision-making, the direction of the sport, and what comes next.It's part race review, part industry shake-up — and all heading toward a Supercars season that's about to get very interesting.

Taupō and Christchurch are set for high-octane V8 Supercars action over the next two weekends. It's the first time the Supercars championship has held two rounds in New Zealand, and the driver who collects the most points over the two rounds will be awarded the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy, named after the Kiwi driver who succumbed to cancer in 2011. Matt Payne is one of three Kiwis racing and will be hoping for the same success he had last year, when he won in Taupō. He told Mike Hosking that it's been a while since they've had back-to-back rounds, especially in New Zealand. “It's a little bit different logistically,” Payne explained. “Everyone gets used to it, but for everyone, I think it's good to stay on the roll.” “Obviously the more racing we can do, the better, and two weekends in New Zealand is, yeah, dream come true for me.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The weather could not have been a more idyllic. I was basking in the brilliance of Lake Taupō aboard the glorious replica steamboat, Ernest Kemp, as were several dozen guests from all over the world. Cruising the great lake for over 40 years, this gorgeous little vessel that accommodates 50 guests, began life in Kerikeri, named in honour of the last member of the Kemp family to live at Kemp House. A massive and damaging flood in the Kerikeri Inlet in 1981 prompted the sale of this shallow draught vessel, and Ernest Kemp began a new life feeling the lake's freshwater on its hull, a year later.: "For a complete change of pace, I was itching to rock some of Taupō's much-vaunted mountain bike trails. And they won't disappoint." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Taupō Mayor says he'd be surprised if Air New Zealand cut its popular regional route. Some regional flights could be on the chopping block after the airline posted a $40 million half-year loss. It's pointed to ongoing fleet constraints, a slower recovery in domestic demand, and persistently high aviation system inflation. Mayor John Funnell told Ryan Bridge he understands costs are rising, but the Taupō to Auckland flights are close to full every time. He says they have a good relationship with Air New Zealand and isn't expecting any changes. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's heated debate over whether a private home owner who's heavily landscaped parts of a public reserve backing onto Lake Taupō should be forced to return it to its natural state - and make it clear it's public land for everyone's use.

Jane Arnott, has been calling on the Taupō District Council to take action and spoke to Lisa Owen.

Kāpēc par problēmām ar naudu runāt ir tikpat grūti kā par problēmām seksā? Tāpēc, ka abas tēmas prasa ievainojamību, atklātību un drošību. Kad tās sarunā trūkst, tad katra no šīm tēmām var kļūt par attiecību grāvējiem.Sistēmiskā ģimenes psihoterapeite Nansija Lībiete šajā sarunā parāda, ka gandrīz visi konflikti par naudu sākas ar vienu problēmu – nesarunāšanos. Mēs pieņemam, ceram, domājam, ka "gan jau viss nokārtosies", bet nerunājam. Un tad pēkšņi atklājas, ka viens ir taupītājs, otrs – patērētājs, vienam vajag drošības spilvenu, otrs dzīvo šodienai, viens slēpj pirkumu cenas, otrs jūtas nenovērtēts.Nauda pati par sevi pārus neizšķir. Bet nespēja par to runāt godīgi – tā gan.Sarunu ierakstījām, lai palīdzētu saprast, kā atpazīt sarkanos karogus, ko darīt, ja viens pelna daudz vairāk nekā otrs, kas ir finansiālā vardarbība, kā aizsargāt sevi, kad esi finansiāli atkarīgs no partnera un citām problēmām, kas saistītas ar naudu.Galvenais secinājums? Runāt, runāt un vēlreiz runāt ar otru. Jo tikai caur sarunām mēs varam atrast risinājumu, kas palīdz un der mums abiem.Šo epizodi filmējām Power-Up SPACE Rīgas centrā. Te ir viss, kas nepieciešams – moderni aprīkotas studijas un arī daudzpusīgas telpas pasākumiem, kur rīkot apmācības, prezentācijas, filmu vakarus un pat konferences ar skaistu skatu uz Rīgu.

Bērni atgriezušies skolā un līdz ar to arī sastrēgumi ielās, darba ritms atgriezies ar pilnu jaudu. Koalīcija ir paspējusi vienoties par kandidātu tiesībsarga amatam, izskatās, ka Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes profesori Karīnu Palkovu amatā apstiprinās. Kā būs ar Ģenerālprokurora izvēli, tur intriga ir lielāka. Katrā ziņā konkursā uz šo amatu pieteicies arī bijušais ģenerālprokurors Juris Stukāns, kurš piedalījās iepriekšējā konkursā, kur neizvēlēja nevienu. Tikmēr valdībai gandrīz visas domas ir par budžetu un naudas taupīšanu. Par izdienas pensiju saņēmēju loka būtisku sašaurināšanu valdībā konceptuāls atbalsts panākts. Nauda būs jāpietaupa arī iedzīvotājiem – sabiedriskajā transportā cenas atkal celsies. Par to un citiem nedēļas notikumiem spriežam Krustpunktā. Analizē politoloģe Iveta Kažoka, Latvijas TV Ziņu dienesta producente Rudīte Spakovska un žurnāliste Lauma Niedrīte.

Ministrijas ir pārskatījušas savus tēriņus un kā nesen noziņoja Finanšu ministrija, valdības noteiktais mērķis par 150 miljonu eiro samazinājumu publiskajā sektorā 2026. gadā ir izpildīts. Tomēr tas nenozīmē, ka budžets ir kļuvis plānāks – budžeta deficīts arī nākamajos gados tiek prognozēts virs pieļaujamā līmeņa. Par to, ka būs jātaupa, ka nauda vajadzīga aizsardzībai, runā nemitīgi jau visu gadu. Tomēr ir arī atzīts, ka ir dažas citas prioritātes, piemēram, demogrāfija un jaunais pedagogu finansēšanas modelis, kam būs papildus nauda, bet īstas skaidrības par visām prioritātēm nav. Cik plānveidīgs, skaidrs, jēgpilns ir budžeta veidošanas process un taupības pasākumi, Krustpunktā diskutē politologs, Latvijas Universitātes profesors Jānis Ikstens, Latvijas Bankas Monetārās politikas pārvaldes vadītāja vietnieks Mārtiņš Bitāns, Fiskālās disciplīnas padomes priekšsēdētāja Inna Šteinbuka un Latvijas Tirdzniecības un rūpniecības kameras valdes priekšsēdētājs Jānis Endziņš.

Since then, he's helped over 115 patients in Taupō put type 2 diabetes into remission—an achievement that's not only reshaped his practice, but challenged the conventional approach to chronic disease management. He was named General Practitioner of the Year in 2021.In this conversation, we explore what "remission" really means in clinical terms, the systems that help sustain it, and the biomarkers that shift most consistently. Glen also shares insights on the psychology of behaviour change, the risks and rewards of keto, and the real-world barriers to scaling this model across New Zealand. They also have a frank conversation of the level of knowledge that GPs have to prevent and treat the modern day health crisis that NZ (like most countries) is facing.Glen Davies: https://reversalnz.co.nz/team/dr-glen-davies/ Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

An agreement between Taupo councillors and local iwi Ngāti Tūwharetoa has caused controversy after one of the councillors called in lobby group Hobson Pledge to raise concerns with a wider audience. Maori News Journalist Pokere Paewai spoke to Corin Dann.

Ministrijas ir nākušas klajā ar taupības pasākumiem nākamā gada budžetā, ir plānota gan darbinieku skaita samazināšana, gan iestāžu reorganizācija. Pie vēlēto amatpersonu atalgojuma iesaldēšanas koalīcija strādāšot, bet vēl mazāka atsaucība ir par partiju finansēšanas mazināšanu. Tikmēr visas pašvaldības tikušas pie mēriem un Valsts Drošības dienests jau sācis saņemt pieteikumus par valsts noslēpuma pielaižu saņemšanu domju vadītājiem. Bet šķiet par taupību domā ne visas domes, vismaz attiecība uz vicemēru amatu skaitu. Rēzeknē, kas izslavēta ar bēdīgo finanšu situāciju, atvēziens ir vēl plašāks, jo viens no pirmajiem jaunievēlētās domes plāniem ir atjaunot bezmaksas sabiedrisko transportu tiem, kas sasnieguši 60 gadu vecumu. Par to un citām nedēļas aktualitātēm ar žurnālistiem diskutējam raidījumā Krustpunktā. Analizē Latvijas TV raidījuma "De facto" žurnālists Ivo Leitāns, laikraksta "Diena" žurnālists Atis Rozentāls un žurnāla "IR" žurnālists Aivars Ozoliņš.  

How do you know that dream of yours is worth pursuing? And when do you take yourself seriously? When is a retreat worth it? Holly Bowen is an emerging author of young adult fantasy and contemporary women's fiction. By the Moon is Holly's debut novel. Holly lives in the lakeside town of Taupō, New Zealand, with her partner, two young sons, and a sad lack of a canine companion. When she's not drinking mochas and writing in a local café, she can be found swimming in the lake or hiding in her garden sauna, making up stories in her head.

The bad weather lashing the country is bearing down on the Taupō Tūrangi region and the Tauranga-Taupō River is in flood. Taupō District Mayor David Trewavas spoke to Corin Dann.

A worker at the Challenge Petrol station in Tauranga-Taupō says the river hasn't peaked yet but police and civil defence are both there. Jim Falla spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Emergency service staff are going door to door to people in the Oruatua/Te Rangiita area north of Tūrangi - asking residents to prepare to evacuate. Taupo Civil Defence Controller Hadley Tattle spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

It's a worrying time for residents from 70 homes - as the Tauranga-Taupō River is threatening to breach its bank. The swollen river has flooded after a night of heavy rain, thunderstorm warnings and strong winds across much of the country. Taupō District Council's Tūrangi-Tongariro ward Councillor Sandra Greenslade spoke to Corin Dann.

This week, we discuss the recent news that Imogen Simmonds tested positive for Ligandrol, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known to enhance muscle mass and strength.  Simmonds has denied intentional use, attributing the positive test to intimate contact with her partner, who was unknowingly taking Ligandrol to improve his physique.  We explore the details of this case, its implications for her career, and the broader impact on the sport. We then sit down with Mike Phillips, the new Ironman New Zealand champion and course record holder, to hear how his race unfolded and what this result means for the rest of his season. Finally, we recap all the action from Ironman New Zealand, breaking down the key performances, race dynamics, and standout moments from Taupō.
