There’s a match on fingerprints found at the assassination scene of a major US health insurance boss in Manhattan.  

New York prosecutors have charged 26-year-old Luigi Mangione with murdering Brian Thompson.  

Police have told CNN that fingerprints found at the crime scene match Mangione's. 

Correspondent Kate Fisher told Andrew Dickens that development followed his extradition hearing yesterday.  

She says he refused extradition to New York and was then denied bail, so he'll remain in a Pennsylvania jail while the legal ramifications are sorted out.

The long awaited ferry announcement from the government came yesterday, however there's still plenty unanswered questions.

We'll get two new ferries, but the government hasn't said how much they will cost, or whether they will be rail-enabled.

It comes more than a year after the Finance Minister cancelled the previous governments plan to purchase two new ships for $550 million.

Labour's transport spokesperson Tangi Utikere says the announcement was underwhelming.

"What we've learned is that kiwis will have to wait longer for the ferries when they do arrive, it was meant to be 2026 under the former government, now we'll have to wait until at least 2029".
