Gun control advocates want more regulation on a firearm popular among gangs.

The 782 Alfa carbines and Alfa hunters look indistinguishable from a handgun once its barrel and stock are cut off. 

One hundred and 63 of them were imported and passed on to criminals from 2019-2021. 

Gun Control NZ Co-Founder Nick Green told Andrew Dickens there is no reason they should be legal. 

He says semi-automatic guns have been regulated, and the Alfa carbines should be no different.

Nick Green: Gun Control NZ co-founder says Alfa carbines and Alfa hunters should be regulated

The Princess of Wales has announced she's completed chemotherapy, calling it a relief. 

In a personal video released by Kensington Palace, Catherine says her focus is on staying cancer free, and she has a long path ahead to full recovery. 

She also says she'll undertake more public engagements in the coming months. 

UK correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking the video has gone down well. 

He says Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has wished her all the best and is glad she's through her chemo, and all people would likely think the same.

Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on Princess Catherine announcing she's completed chemotherapy

There aren’t many people with their finger on the global pulse like CNN’s Richard Quest.

The host of ‘Quest Means Business’, Richard Quest consistently at the top of the game when it comes to analysing the global economy, international business and tourism.

New Zealand’s not the only country having issues in this sphere, and Quest joined Mike Hosking to give his insight into the seething geopolitical ocean. 

When it comes to the global economy in the wake of the 2020 Covid pandemic, Quest believes we’re just about fine.

“Some countries will grow more than others, but you know, the fact that we have proven we can get rid of inflation?”

In Quest’s opinion, the biggest concerns have to be the war in Ukraine, the expansion of the war in the Middle East, the conflict in the Taiwan Straits, and the conflicts with China.

“Those have the serious potential to just completely, literally, blow us out of the water.”
