new zealand had _ are making this move now? new zealand had planned _ are making this move now? ii? , but the 0micron wave put paid to that. so what we will see is arrivals going into new zealand will no longerface that going into new zealand will no longer face that mandatory stint in government run isolation facilities. they will have to self isolate at home for ten days and also be tested. and, as you say, this is a phased approach beginning at the end of february and stretching all the way through to october. in april, for example, new zealand is expecting to welcome migrant workers and international students. and there is a feeling in the government of jacinda ardern that this is a phased approach will help the government cope with the likely rise in covid—19 cases that you would associate with the reopening of the borders. but one final point, i think that since the pandemic new zealand has pursued this very hardline approach. if you look at the statistics, it appears to have worked. new zealand has recorded only 17,000 coronavirus cases and 53 deaths since the start of the pan

there were only 53 deaths due to covid—19 in new zealand, which really is such a low figure. with the overdose death of actor michael k williams in september last year. the men are alleged to have been involved in the distribution of fentanyl—laced heroin that resulted in the death of williams, who was best known for playing 0mar little on the wire. officials in argentina say at least 12 people have died and another 50 are in hospital after taking adulterated cocaine. police have raided a house and made ten arrests in a poor neighbourhood of buenos aires, where they believe the cocaine was sold. the manchester united footballer mason greenwood has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. manchester united says he won't return to the pitch until further notice. a unionist minister in the belfast assembly has directed officials to stop carrying out checks on goods entering northern ireland from the rest of the uk. the checks effectively keep northern ireland in the eu single market post brexit. it also prevents the need for customs at the land

new zealand begins the phased re—opening of its borders. the united states say they may finally have uncovered the cause of a mysterious illness among diplomatic staff that's been dubbed havana syndrome which lists dizziness and disorientation among its symptoms. the intelligence community experts panel on anomalous health incidents has been looking at some of the unresolved cases of the syndrome. it concluded that, �*the signs and symptoms of ahis are genuine and compelling'. it suggested that in some cases, �*pulsed electromagnetic energy... plausibly explains the core characteristics, although information gaps exist�*. it did not look into �*the question of whether a foreign actor may be involved'. it's worth mentioning that an earlier interim report from the cia last month found no evidence of a widespread campaign by a foreign state and said many cases could be explained by natural causes or stress. earlier, i asked alex ward, national security reporter for the news website politico, to explain what havana syndrome consists of. well, i

new zealand had a covid—zero policy, but events really have overtaken new zealand, even over the bestearn to live with the virus. it is time for the end, she announced cautious phase reopening. it will begin at the end of this month. new zealand has had some of the toughest biosecurity border controls keeping out of most foreigners for the best part of two years. another fortress is gradually being dismantled. i another fortress is gradually being dismantled.— being dismantled. i am 'ust wondering. i being dismantled. i am 'ust wondering, here in i being dismantled. i am justj wondering, here in london, being dismantled. i am just l wondering, here in london, a lot of people are from new zealand who live here and you hear the chatter about them wanting to go home. feeling very sad about how strict the restrictions were. what about in new zealand or perhaps also australia? they are quite close neighbours in a sense of people going back and forth as well. how were they received? were they fully accepted ? how were they received? were they fully accepted? i how were they received? were t

new zealanders in australia will be able to travel from the 28th of this month without going. busy into quarantine, known as an i q, the border, it will open to vaccinate and usually you see zealand there is from the rest of the world. 2 weeks later, the long term plan is for borders to fully open to anyone in october. it's time to move again. and so today in 5 steps, we move forward with our plan to reconnect new zealand to the world. beginning with step one. today i'm announcing that the fully vaccinated k ways and other currently eligible travelers from australia will be able to travel to new zealand from 11 59 pm, sunday, 27 february. and instead of going into my queue, will be able to south isolate. let's cross live now when hale's into a rango, new zealand and north island, when this was actually initially announced last year, and then it was pushed back. so are we likely to see further delays to this plan or are they quite firm about the dates they've given? well, the caveat with this announcement from the prime minister is that it is not definite yet. in fact, the cabin

there are 5 million new zealanders in new zealand. and 1 million abroad.. this is new zealander a in san francisco. really mixed. i had actually decided only two weeks ago that i was going to stop even looking at updates around the border situation because ijust couldn't handle the emotional roller coaster any longer, it was too hard and was starting to really get at me because it's... i miss home. a lot. um, yeah. moving to a new city in the middle of a pandemic in america is definitely not the easiest thing to do, and phone calls and and skype and facetime and all that are fantastic, but nothing replaces being home. there are limited spaces in m10. to get a spot, citizens must enter what's called the virtual lobby where theyjoin an online queue. quarantine rooms are released at specific times, however this doesn't guarantee you a spot. if your case is an emergency, you can apply in a another way, however not all of them are granted. all of this was put in the spotlight this week when journalist, charlotte bellis, who is pregnant said she wasn't able to f

be extended to new zealand is in other countries. and to all visitors by october, to to this decision was the vaccination rate, which is recovered from a very slow start. more than 93 percent of the eligible population is now fully vaccinated and the minimum time between the 2nd and 3rd doses has been shortened to 3 months. the government was also coming under increasing pressure politically, economically and legally to open the border. thousands of diesel and is, are stuck overseas unable to return home because there aren't enough quarantine or m i q hotel rooms and some a taking the government to court. it's easy to hear the word in my queue and immediately associate it with headache. there is no question that for new zealand, it is being one of the hardest parts of the painting, mach. but the reason that it is right up there is one of the toughest things we have experienced is in pad. because large scale loss of life is not at this stage, quarantine will be replaced by home isolation for 10 days, which is expected to be shortened

new zealand as easing strict border controls imposed nearly 2 years ago. in response to the pandemic, in the initial stage of her phased reopening, vaccinated, new zealanders in australia will be allowed home without having to quarantine from the end of this month. when he has this report. for almost 2 years, new zealand has been largely shut off from the rest of the world. tight border restrictions have seen it control the spread of coven 19 better than most countries, with only 53 deaths from the virus. and now with the army kron variant, already circulating here, the government feels the time is right to open up. there was life before. and now life with covered bed. that also means there will be life after covered to a life where we have adapted where we have some no melody back from the end of february, fully vaccinated, new zealanders will be able to return from australia without having to quarantine soon after it will be extended to new zealand is in other countries and to all visitors by october, key to this decision was the vaccination rate, which

house prices have been well beyond what we would call sustainable here in new zealand.e've been very vocal about that. and the potential of falling house prices really only affects a small sliver of people who have become them -- unemployed or are unable to live with negative equity. that's a very small portion potentially because the vast amount of households have been upward significantly. shery: we have heard some opposition politicians suggest this week that you have perhaps overstimulated the economy which is why you actually have to act faster. how would you respond to that? adrian: i think we've got the boos and the cheers equally balanced. we've had experts telling us we've done too much too soon, and with the covid pandemic arriving in future prices, and other people arguing look at inflation expectations. what i would say is we need to focus on the medium-term, we need to focus on inflation expectations over the medium-term and we need to focus on the mixed inflation pressures that we can influence. not jumping up and down raced on -- based on relative issues
