American Public opinion on former US President Donald Trump's guilty verdict has remained mostly unchanged. 

The Presidential candidate's been convicted of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the New York hush money trial.

Arnold said “Trump’s lawyers are lashing out at the judge – defence lawyers talk big about appeals, yet they rarely succeed.”

The fifth annual dolphin and whale count is taking place nation-wide this weekend. 

The count contributes both a snapshot at the same time every year, and information about the marine mammals close to shore across time.

Whale and Dolphin Count Organiser, Christine Rose, told Tim Beveridge “We encourage people to go to the coastline and stare out to sea for a couple hours and report what you see.”

Rose said “It’s a celebration of the marine life we share our world with.” 

She said “We want people to be aware of the whales and dolphins that are in New Zealand – at this time of year humpbacks and Southern right whales are migrating from Antarctica to the tropics.”
