The International court of justice has found Israel guilty of implementing discriminatory racial segregation between Palestinians and Israelis in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This year, Russia and Belarus were banned from the Olympics as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Despite this International Court of Justice decision Israel didn’t receive the same consequence.
This sparked backlash and questions surrounding Israel's participation in future international sporting events.
Currently, FIFA is set to make a decision on whether Israel will be allowed to compete in international football by the end of this month.
Producer Evie spoke to Socio-Cultural Teaching Fellow in Physical Education, Sport and Exercise sciences at The University of Otago, Sebastian Potgieter about what he expects from this decision. As well as why Israel was allowed to compete in the Olympics - and why their participation in sporting events has such a big political impact.
New data has shows that Māori health providers have provided over 30,000 vaccinations up to June 30th for serious illness such as polio, meningococcal B, tetanus and diphtheria, for both adults and children, significantly surpassing the government’s original intended goal of 10,000.

And finally, Joel speaks to Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science, and geologist, Phil Shane, about a new vent being discovered at Whakaari / White Island, which has resulted in various flights being delayed, and what this means for the volcano.
The findings of the Understanding Policy Delivery report have recently been released, which has shown that the NZ Police found “bias” and “structural racism,” targeting Māori individuals.
The report says that Māori are ELEVEN percent more likely to be persecuted compared to Pākeha, despite the same variables, and Māori are disproportionately more likely to be stopped and tasered by officers.
News and Editorial Director, and Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Criminology Lecturer and the University of Auckland, and spokesperson for People Against Prison Aotearoa, Emmy Rākete (Ngāpuhi), about these findings, and what can be done to mitigate these statistics.
Last week, multiple flights were delayed, due to an eruption, dubbed by scientists as “minor eruptive activity,” of Whakaari / White Island.

News and Editorial Director and Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Auckland and Geologist, Phil Shane, about this new vent and the disruption Whakaari has caused to air travel, and whether this should be viewed as a concern.
