  • “They are in shock": A grim discovery in the Yanfei Bao case

    Detectives investigating the disappearance of Christchurch mum Yanfei Bao just over a year ago believe they've found her remains in a shallow grave. Why did it take so long?

    Imogen's adventures in Paris continue as she shares a pastry with Kiwi medal hope Dylan Schmidt and discovers what daily life is really like for an Olympics athlete.

    Talking of pastry, we've got the big winners in the national pie awards.

    And we'll tell you how you can see not one, but two meteor showers this week.

  • Tax cuts kick in - how much better off will you be?

    National campaigned on them, Nicola Willis said she’d quit if she didn’t deliver them, and in the May Budget we finally got the details on the Government’s tax cuts. Tomorrow they finally kick in. Who better to talk us through the implications than Infometrics principal economist and friend of Newsable Brad Olsen. How much better off will you be?

    Plus, drama on day one of the Polkinghorne trial, why vegans are on the right side of new research about life expectancy and hard news on the beds in the Olympic village.

    Warning: The details of the Polkinghorne case may be upsetting for some readers.

  • The Harris effect: What the polls make of Trump's likely new opponent.

    The US election continues to provide plenty of twists and turns, with Vice President Kamala Harris now all but assured of the Democratic presidential nomination. A week after President Joe Biden stepped aside, Harris seems to have the numbers - and the high-profile endorsements - she was looking for. What do the polls say now and will this change Donald Trump's approach?

    We preview what's sure to be a high-profile trial getting underway at the High Court in Auckland today, with eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne standing trial for the murder of his wife Pauline Hanna.

    With criminals in the UK attempting to blackmail a chain of restaurants by threatening to post fake reviews online, we see if anything simliar is happening in New Zealand.

    And Imogen manages to nab some time in Paris with the head of the New Zealand Olympic Team, Chef de Mission Nigel Avery.

  • Nobby Clark vs the Council: Will Invercargill be looking for a new mayor today?

    An independent investigation into Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark's "insulting, degrading" behaviour during a television interview has resulted in the council calling an extraordinary meeting today. They will convene to decide possible next steps, which could include renewed calls for him to resign.

    Newsable's Imogen Wells checks in from Paris as the games officially begin.

    And it's been described as "lumpy vaseline". Should we be cheery or wary when it comes to sea moss?
