There’s more uncertainty about who will be and won't be included in Donald Trump's upcoming agricultural tariffs. 

Here in New Zealand, we're still in the dark about whether we'll receive an exemption for things like our growing exports of hamburger meat. 

Over in Australia, analysts believe they're very unlikely to get an exemption. 

Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking US farm lobbyists are accusing Australia of creating an unequal trading relationship – something Australia disputes.

Fonterra has delivered a strong interim result for the 2025 fiscal year. 

It's reported a half year Profit after Tax of $729 million, with earnings of 44 cents per share. 

It's alongside a Farmgate Milk Price midpoint of $10 per kilograms of milk solids for the season ending 2025. 

CEO Miles Hurrell says it’s pleasing to be able to deliver these results for farmer shareholders and unit holders. 

Dairy Insights Consultant Stu Davison told Mike Hosking the entire industry is fizzing.  

He says it’s a pretty uncommon result to see a strong milk price and a strong dividend in the same season, and they’re going to ride the wave while they’ve got it.

New Zealand's move out of recession is being felt by some much earlier than others. 

Latest figures show our economy's grown by 0.7% between October and December.

Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Vice President Paul Koch told Mike Hosking some businesses are doing even better. 

He says some businesses he knows of have seen growth of about 10% during the quarter.

Ayrburn Owner Chris Meehan told Mike Hosking the land was a sheep paddock around a year ago. 

He says now there are 10 restaurants and bars, a winery – and they're doing about 40-thousand meals per month.

Protest action is still going ahead in Napier this weekend. 

There's been community backlash after a leaked proposal showed the Government considering cutting the overnight urgent care nurse service. 

It's now choosing to retain it, but still with no GPs on-site. 

Napier Mayor Kirsten Wise told Mike Hosking the closest doctor is a 25-minute drive away at Hastings Hospital's busy Emergency Department. 

She says the protest will not just be for overnight care but about the level of services being provided to the community in general.

The Finance and Growth Minister is confident the economic turnaround will continue. 

Latest figures show we're officially out of recession, after our economy grew 0.7% between October and December. 

Nicola Willis says we're going to continue to see growth in tourism and agriculture exports. 

She told Mike Hosking households should also be getting more disposable income as they switch over to lower mortgage rates, that will flow through into the economy. 

Willis says the consensus among forecasters is for growth to accelerate this year.

But Telecommunications Forum Chief Executive Paul Brislen told Mike Hosking most people aren't worried about their phone bill. 

He says it's not an issue most people think about.

New Zealand’s middle-distance prodigy Sam Ruthe has become the youngest person in history to break the four-minute mile barrier. 

The 15-year-old from Tauranga became the 49th New Zealander to break the four-minute mile doing so at a wet Go Media Stadium last night. 

Olympian Sam Tanner helped lead Ruthe in the second half of the race, setting the pace for the teenager towards the finish line. 

Ruthe eventually finished second behind Tanner in three minutes 58.35 seconds. 

He's eclipsed the previous pioneer, then 16-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who has gone on to become a double Olympic champion. 

Ruthe told Ryan Bridge that it felt amazing having all his friends and family there supporting him.
