Coach David Kidwell believes Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor will be back in the Kiwis jersey for the World Cup.

New Zealand Rugby League will meet with Kiwis management as well as the senior playing group to discuss what action will be taken against both players following the alleged cocaine incident in Canberra.

Kidwell told Mike Hosking his gut feeling is the imposed sanction, won't stop Bromwich and Proctor from playing at the World Cup.

"It's five months out from the World Cup. These guys have clearly broken the trust of me, their Kiwi teammates, and they're going to have to work extremely hard to earn that trust back."

Proctor has stood down as captain of the Gold Coast Titans.

Emmanuel Macron has swept to power to become France's youngest President.

Exit polls show the 39-year-old has charged to victory with more than 65 percent of the vote.

Far right opponent Marine Le Pen drew about 35 percent.

But France correspondent Catherine Field said other numbers are more telling.

She told Mike Hosking it's the lowest turnout since 1969, with abstentions hitting about 25 percent.

"So I think we can read into that, that in some ways Emmanuel Macron is an accidental President because a lot of people just did not feel they had anything invested in either of the two candidates."

Field said Marine Le Pen's party will have the knives out for her tonight.

Fonterra may have to fork out $64 million to Australian farmers, but it's also an opportunity for the dairy giant to dominate the market.

It is the second largest player in Australia. Its rival Murray Goulburn has had a meltdown and after a backlash has increased its average milk price paid to farmers for 2015/ 16 season.

ASB senior rural economist Nathan Penny told Mike Hosking under an agreement Fonterra has to match the price.

"It may have to foot a bill in this case of some degree, but they've got a massive opportunity and they can really increase their supply base in Australia and look with a view to make their Australian business much more profitable."

After a less-than-smooth lead up, New Zealand's very own heavyweight champion puts his WBO belt on the line tomorrow night for the first time.

Joseph Parker is set to face his former sparring partner, Romanian Razvan Cojanu, in what his camp are hoping will turn into another dominating performance by the 25-year-old.

Parker was initially meant to fight the highly touted Hughey Fury, but a timely injury for the Englishman meant he had to withdraw, leaving Cojanu the responsibility of challenging the champ.

Joseph Parker joined Mike Hosking for a chat.

People are singing the praises of Prince Philip as he announces his retirement.

The Duke of Edinburgh won't be carrying out public engagements later in the year, unless they are events he particularly wants to attend.

Ingrid Seward has written more than a dozen books about the British Royal Family. She told Mike Hosking Prince Philip is an unsung hero.

"We just think about him as being sort of rather grumpy and difficult, but we don't really realise how much he's actually done for the monarchy and for this country."

Seward said the 95-year-old will work up to Spring because his diary is planned six months in advance and he doesn't want to let anyone down.

Northland locals are being urged to do their bit to fight the invasion of a potentially hazardous foreign pest.

A major biosecurity operation is underway in Northland after Myrtle rust was discovered in pohutukawa seedlings at a nursery in Kerikeri.

Myrtle rust is a significant disease of plant species from the Myrtaceae and has been spreading rapidly around the world in recent years.

It poses a serious threat to a range of our most cherished plant species - including pohutukawa and rata - severe infections causing plants to die.

Plants that are also important to our honey industry, such as manuka and kanuka, could also be affected, which could severely impact on New Zealand's annual $300 million of honey exports.

Other at-risk species include feijoa, gum and bottlebrush.

Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking there's a controlled area notice at the nursery in Kerikeri and the seedlings have been destroyed.

But he said MPI wants to hear from anyone who's bought any trees - particularly of Myrtle variety - in the last month or so.

"From that nursery or from other nurseries in Kerikeri, please inspect your trees and let MPI know if you see anything that looks like Myrtle Rust."

Guy said Myrtle Rust is air-borne so it was only a matter of time before it arrived here.

He said it took three to five years to impact the Manuka species in Australia.

"We'll be working very closely with the bee industry to do as much as we can to inspect all of the Manuka and Kanuka in Northland".

Guy said the Government will do everything possible to get rid of the disease, but it will be challenging.

Minister of Conservation Maggie Barry is also encouraging Kerikeri locals to support the biosecurity work.

"People should engage with this and be careful about what they pick and how they move plant material around the affected region," she said.

Meanwhile, New Zealand First leader and Northland MP, Winston Peters, said the Government was warned, and has instead been incredibly arrogant on the issue.

He said a Crown Research Institute made six recommendations to help prevent this in 2010 - and the Government didn't action a single one.

The Trump health reforms have been given the first go ahead with the slimmest of margins.

The American Health Care Act passed by just four votes -- 217 to 213.

However, US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking Trumpcare will take away health care from more than 24 million Americans.

He said there will be an age tax, those aged between 50 and 64 will pay premiums five times higher than the average American.

"It's now three times currently. That could clearly raise insurance rates exponentially, so politicians are celebrating a political win."

Arnold said they've promised $8 billion for the next five years for those with pre-existing complaints.

"But $8 billion not enough by far say experts who suggested it's $20 billion for one year not $8 billion for five."

The Act will now go to the Senate, where 51 members will need to pass it before Trump can sign the bill into law.

Though President Trump is confident.

"As far as I'm concerned your premiums, they're going to come down. We're going to get this passed through the Senate. I feel so confident," Trump said.

The prospect of better pay and better support is leading many top public school principals to take up roles with private schools.

Five state school principals have taken top jobs in private schools in the past two years.

Principals can earn from $90,000 to $292,000 a year in the public system, but some principals have reportedly doubled their salary in the private system.

Long Bay College principal Russell Brooke has been appointed principal of Academic Colleges Group's Parnell campus from June 12.

He told Mike Hosking his decision was based on change.

"Someone said hey, consider this opportunity, and I looked at it, and the friends that knew me talked about where I was in my life, and I thought it's an opportunity, let's go for it."

Mr Brooke said money is not necessarily the driver behind the change. 

"It is relevant. I mean obviously it will help in my retirement and I've got to think about that. Teaching is not well paid in any part of a secondary school."

Jack Boyle, from secondary teacher union PPTA, points out that the public school system is failing to retain the leaders it trains up.

"They've done a lot of that learning and development in the state system," he said.

"There's therefore been quite a bit of an investment in terms of resourcing and support.

"You'd need to look at what some of those challenges are that might be causing principals to leave public schools and go into private schools so that we can hang on to them."

A New Zealand man wants to get back his World Record of the most bungy jumps in 24 hours.

Mike Heard first set the record at 103 jumps in a single day back in 2008. That was broken in 2014, with 151 jumps.

Heard is having another go on May 23rd and thinks he can do more than 200 in the 24 hours.

He told Mike Hosking he's not fazed at the thought of doing an average of one jump every seven and a half minutes.

"To put it in perspective for you, in 2011 I broke the Guinness World Record for the most bungy jumps in one hour, and I did 80."

Heard said he has a slick crew with a very good system.

"We've got a full medical crew on the entire duration of the attempt, so they're going to be checking in with me, making sure that all my vitals are fine."

He said the more you jump on a cord, the softer it gets so you get a smoother ride.

A study showing a drop in the number of Auckland pre-schoolers who are obese or overweight, has sparked the interest of primary schools.

The study by Healthy Auckland Together Coalition picked up the trend.

It's bucking the trend of every other age group, who are getting fatter.

Early Childhood chief executive Peter Reynolds told Mike Hosking it's a result of play-based learning at childcare facilities.

"We're finding more and more primary schools are starting to sit up and take real close notice of what's going on in early childhood education.

"They're looking at the curriculum, they're looking at things like play-based learning and saying 'hey that could actually work for us, especially for the new entrant children."

"So it doesn't surprise me with the growing involvement in early childhood education that kiddies are moving more, and that as a result, those who need to lose a little bit of weight as a result of that sort of movement and development are doing so."
