A heated exchange between the two US presidential hopefuls - with many saying Kamala Harris got under Donald Trump's skin

The pair faced off over inflation, abortion and foreign policy in a high stakes debate in Pennsylvania.

US Pollster Henry Olsen told Ryan Bridge that debates in the past have had a minor effect on the polls, but this race is so close that even a minor effect could transform Harris from an underdog to the favourite.

This debate could have an impact on the polls, he said, but we won’t know for at least another week.

Principals are welcoming a new method for bringing students’ failing maths back up to standard. 

The Government's announced a trial programme over the first two terms of next year, for about 2000 Year 7 and 8 students behind in maths learning. 

It will use small-group tutoring and supervised online tuition for 30 minutes, up to four times a week. 

Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Kyle Brewerton says the hybrid system sounds good. 

He says the approach has some merit, because it identifies the fact that one size doesn't necessarily fit all.

Homeownership continues to be the dream for most Kiwis, but a growing number of us think we'll never achieve it. 

Kiwibank's latest State of Home Ownership Report has found 85% of people want to own a home, with most believing it's the key to getting ahead. 

But over two-thirds of non-homeowners doubt they'll ever own a home, with millennials particularly pessimistic. 

Simplicity Founder Sam Stubbs told Ryan Bridge KiwiSaver is now the key for most people, but the long wait to save for a deposit is a problem. 

He says either wages have to increase, taxes have to decrease, or people have to put more in KiwiSaver.
