Consultation on Auckland Councilâs proposed changes to Aucklandâs dog rules opened on Monday and close on the 23rd February. Additionally, over the weekend, a large vegetation fire broke out on the slopes of Auckland's MÄngere Mountain.
Producer Sofia spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics.
One of Trumpâs first measures after taking office was to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement (also called the Paris Accords or Paris Climate Accords) is an international treaty on climate change that requires itâs signatories to set their own emissions reductions goals and to report regularly on their progress.
Trumpâs withdrawal from the Paris Agreement makes the United States one of only four countries in the entire world who are not signatories to the Paris Agreement, with the other three non-signatories being Iran, Libya and Yemen.
Oto spoke to Amanda Larsson from Greenpeace Aotearoa to discuss the implications of Trumpâs exit from the Paris agreement, and how Aotearoa should adjust its own climate targets in response.
Yesterday marked the inauguration of the newly elected President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Trumpâs election marks the second non-consecutive term for any US president, with him winning both the popular vote AND electoral college, contrasting his previous election victory in 2016.
However, despite running on one of his campaign slogans of âending all warsâ, Trump frequently made promises to annex a number of territories in North and South America, namely Greenland and the Panama Canal, and made comments about turning Canada into Americaâs 51st state.
Oto spoke to Associate Professor in Cultures, Languages and Linguistics at the University of Auckland - Chris Ogden, to discuss the validity of these claims, why Trump was making them and what military expansion during his presidency could hypothetically look like.
Featuring a first spin of Marlon William's new waiata Aua Atu RÄ of his forthcoming album Te Whare TÄ«wakawaka and an interview with Italian clown Andy Spigola ahead of the Auckland Buskers Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai nei!
