Hopes a $20million boost for local student teachers will make a real difference.

Education Minister Erica Stanford's redirecting the funding from an under-used relocation grant for overseas early childhood teachers, to a programme paying student teachers to learn on the job.

Rural School Leadership Association President Andrew King told Mike Hosking that international teachers are great, but this will improve access to training for locals.

He says it's a financial incentive to help teacher aides or people on a Limited Authority to Teach become full-time.

Donald Trump has called off strikes against Iran, provided a deal is reached rapidly. 

In a Truth Social post, the US President says he's been asked by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off, while the parameters of agreement are set. 

He says that would include the reopening of the critical Strait of Hormuz, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.

John Hopkins Foreign Policy Institute Fellow Jeffery Pryce says this is a pattern seen before. 

He says it feels like groundhog day - threats of military action on Friday, frantic intervention on Saturday, then an agreement is announced on Sunday.

A sociologist believes New Zealand First's latest policy won't tackle falling birth rates. 

The party's announced a Kiwi Kids Fund, which would give citizen families $5000 a year for the first three years of a child's life. 

The grant would be limited to a family's first three children and would be tax free and not means tested. 

Massey University's Paul Spoonley says fertility rates are low, but this won't fix that.

He says it's a concern, but the Government doesn't have the ability to change that.

The US was the victim of cybersecurity breaches over the weekend. 

It's believed that Iranian hackers accessed computer systems monitoring water infrastructure in several US states, disabling alarms and decreasing water pressure in an attempt to contaminate the pipes with groundwater. 

Although no culprit has officially been identified, President Trump took aim at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, suggesting that Walz was behind the hacking. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that the President's comments are 'absurd' - and that US intelligence feared this is how Iran would respond to a war in the Middle East.
