Gavin Grey: UK correspondent says Prince Harry is reconsidering family trip to the UK

Prince Harry is reconsidering his decision to bring his family to the UK - after a security update. The Duke and Duchess have been planning their visit to Britain, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for the first time in four years. International Correspondent Gavin Grey says they're meant to stay in a royal lodge, but it now looks as though Harry will go by himself. He says although they will have security there, the family would have to rely on private security from California when they're not on the royal estate.

Linda Gradstein: Jerusalem correspondent on US and Iran trading strikes again

An expert believes a ceasefire breach between the US and Iran comes from a contradiction within the agreement. Hostilities between the two nations have flared again, with new US strikes on Iranian targets and reports of attacks in the Gulf. Bahrain has reported an attack involving several Iranian drones. Jerusalem correspondent Linda Gradstein told Ryan Bridge the ceasefire deals that include Israel are vastly different. She says according to the ceasefire between Iran and the United States, Lebanon is included, and Israel has to withdraw from the country, but the agreement signed between Israel and Lebanon says it can stay.

Ryan Bridge: The Opportunity Party needs more time to hit five percent this election

I don't think Opportunity will hit five percent this election. It's fun to flirt, people are frustrated, but I was there when Colin Craig got close and failed, saw Gareth Morgan then Geoff Simmons have a crack and fail. I encourage anyone listening to have a look at their policies, do the maths and figure out for themselves how much worse, or better off, you'll be. Their new leader is a great communicator. Her main job was an environmental/carbon advisor to businesses. I don't really know what that means, but she's really lovely. The problem with getting to five percent is timing. The closer we get to election, this flirt, this fascination, this honeymoon, if you will, will have worn off. Voters go into the booth trying to keep one side in, or one side out. There's little room for flights of fancy in the polling booth. The other thing people do in the polling booth is take out insurance. By election week it's pretty clear, if you're listening, who is doing well and who is not. So, voters take out insurance, it's why I've said consistently since last year that Winston will do well this year. Labour voters, not National, will slide into his DMs. He's offering them everything Hipkins is short of a Labour government on everything to from stopping asset sales to nationalising industry. One of TOP's charms is that you don't know which way they'll go, It's also their biggest weakness. They're unlikely to get the vast majority of their policies into a coalition agreement, so you're basically voting for who gets the keys to the kingdom. And with TOP, you just don't know, and I think that'll be too big a risk for most to take come November 7th. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gen Toop: Green Peace Campaigner on Tama Potaka backing down on Conservation

Green Peace say the public's opposition to conservation land being sold off, is loud. Conservation Minister Tama Potaka's removing a clause in a Bill that would've allowed for further sales of conservation land, if land's deemed not important to nature, and a sale's agreed to by DOC. It follows significant public outcry. Green Peace Campaigner Gen Toop shares her thoughts with Ryan Bridge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan Bridge: Emotion has overcome facts on conservation

Most kiwis have an environmental bent to them that most of the rest of the western world just doesn't have. At least, not to the same extent. Most people, left and right, use the outdoors here. We have quite a close relationship to it. Matt Watson and his million fishers put Sane Jone's supposedly industry-friendly fishing clauses in the bin. Now the same has happened with Potaka and his Conservation clauses. In both cases, emotion overcame facts. I spoke to Potaka the day before he U-turned, and he made some pretty clear promises. No parks, no bushland, no Great Walks, no protected species, would be destroyed or sold off under the bill. The problem was the door was left ajar open for a future government to potentially sell bits of Conservation land. Anyone who thinks that means a government would sell Tongariro National Park to the highest bidder is not serious or mad. They were targeting, at least according to Potaka, land with old disused government buildings on them in a state of disrepair. But the law left the door open, ajar, with caveats like sign-off from the DOC boss, for the sale of land most of us probably wouldn't want sold. And opponents drove a truck through that hole. Potaka looked like a deer in headlights. They should have seen this coming. Especially after the fishing misstep. This to say it'll cost them votes. It just means there's a perception out there - and it's not necessarily true - but there's a perception that not only are they not for the environment - as Potaka kept saying - but that they are against it. Whatever that vague phrasing means. It, clearly, resonates with quite a few kiwis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
