Russia is apparently ready to go to war with Europe, according to its President.

Vladimir Putin met with the US negotiators this week for about five hours to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

He has accused European leaders of trying to scupper his peace talks with the US, saying that their tweaks to a plan to end the war were “unacceptable”.

The Kremlin has apparently accepted some proposals to end the war, although latest talks haven’t “yielded a breakthrough”.

Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Al Gillespie is with us to run through what could happen next.

Regional, territorial, unitary, wards and boards.

Local government in New Zealand is made up of 78 different councils that make decisions we encounter daily.

The roads, air, rubbish, waters, environment – it's all local government.

So, why has central government announced a need for change? And why has the Prime Minister himself implored councils to “stop doing dumb stuff”?

Today on The Front Page, Victoria University of Wellington associate professor in politics, Lara Greaves, is with us to take us through what it all means, and what the future could hold for our local councils.

There are calls for urgent changes to modernise our laws to better protect victims of sexual violence.

A new Helen Clarke Foundation report identifies several gaps in our laws that need closing and changes to our justice system to reduce underreporting.

Nearly one in four adults report having experienced sexual assault in their lifetime.

Today on The Front Page, Senior Researcher Sarah Bell is with us to take us through the report.

It’s the moment anyone looking for a conveniently packaged, Swedish designed kitchen cabinet is waiting for.

Ikea opens in Auckland this week at Sylvia Park – and it’ll be the company’s largest store in the Southern Hemisphere, about the size of three rugby fields.

You’d be pressed to find someone who hasn’t encountered news of the iconic brand in Aotearoa. But why is it such a big deal? What’s so different about Ikea?

We’ve brought Quantum Jump CEO and marketing expert Ben Goodale along with us to get an early look at the labyrinth that is Ikea.

Later we will speak to Patricia Routledge, Country Communication Manager at IKEA AU & NZ about the specifics of how the team chose to market Ikea to Kiwis.
