Excitement is building in Paris as the Olympic Opening Ceremony draws near.

In less than 24 hours, nearly 100 boats will be floating down the River Seine for the outdoor ceremony.

195 Kiwi athletes are in France for the Games, competing across 22 sports.

Erin Routliffe is competing in the tennis doubles alongside Lulu Sun, and told Ryan Bridge that they’re excited to play together.

She said that they’re trying to figure out their identity as a team, but they’re both good players so they’ll be pretty adaptable when playing together.

The Regulation Minister says people in Early Childhood tell them they're sick of the amount of red tape and regulation.  

Labour, Te Pati Māori, and the Greens have united against the Regulation Ministry's regulatory review.

They claim the Government's making dangerous changes. 

The NZEI union is also calling for it to stop. 

David Seymour told Ryan Bridge it's the first time the opposition has united around something this term. 

He says they say they want to stop dangerous changes but a single change hasn't yet been announced, they're still just listening to people.

David Seymour: Regulation Minister on the opposition to the Early Childhood regulatory review

It’s being suggested that New Zealand's freshwater quality targets are unworkable.

A Beef + Lamb-commissioned independent review shows more than a third of our rivers won't meet national sediments standards.

That's even if agriculture is removed and catchments are returned to their natural state.

Chair Kate Acland told Ryan Bridge they're asking for a pause to work on something more practical.

She says it's not trying to delay regulation —and acknowledges farming's impact on freshwater quality— but need an enduring framework to manage it.
