Some positive signs from international markets overnight. 

American and European markets tumbled on Friday due to ongoing concerns about the Middle East conflict. 

Asia-Pacific markets followed suit yesterday, with the NZX 50 dropping 3.1%. 

Craigs Investment Partners Investment Director Mark Lister told Mike Hosking trading overnight has been more subdued. 

He says oil prices got up to about $120 a barrel and are now back in the 90s, and the US, UK, and Europe markets are down again, but only slightly.

An admission of failures —and missed opportunities— over the long disappearance of Tom Phillips and his children. 

A four-year hunt for the fugitives ended in gunfire last September when Police killed Phillips. 

An inquiry's exposed numerous failures by Police and Oranga Tamariki and a lack of information sharing. 

Deputy Police Commissioner Jill Rogers told Mike Hosking they ultimately achieved what they set out to do, which was recover the children. 

However, she says four years in the bush was absolutely too long, and she can't deny that the conditions the children were kept in were inhumane.

Immigration New Zealand is targeting unlawful employers as it tackles more than 19,000 visa overstayers. 

More than 6,500 visas have expired since 2023 without the holders leaving New Zealand shores.  

Americans topped the list of overstayers, followed by people from Tonga, China, the UK, and India. 

Compliance and Investigations General Manager Steve Watson told Mike Hosking employment is a major drawcard for people who overstay. 

He says Immigration NZ is focusing on employers who unlawfully hire migrants, which can lead to exploitation. 

But Watson says they're not entirely sure yet why so many Americans have overstayed in the last three years, with the count sitting at 925. 

He says Americans don't rank highly in immigration's four priority areas —criminality, character, exhausted appeals, or employment— so more work is needed to work out what is going on with that group.

Fear from our public agencies may have contributed to failure in the Tom Phillips case.  

Phillips was shot dead by police a year ago after being on the run for four years with his children.  

An inquiry has found public agencies missed opportunities to find the children earlier, and criticised Police and Oranga Tamariki for their lack of information sharing. 

Social Development Minister Louise Upston told Mike Hosking it needs to be reiterated that information can be shared if a child is in danger.  

She says they may have been scared of getting in trouble or worried that information wasn't kept safe.
