New Zealand doesn’t seem to be the only country with a looming shortage of teachers.

The Teaching Council's highlighting data that shows the number of students graduating as teachers has dropped by more than a third.

Half as many people are signing up to become teachers as there were in 2010.

Secondary Principals Association President Vaughan Couillault told Mike Hosking he's been hearing similar reports overseas.

He says he's been told in Australia and the United Kingdom, exactly the same thing's happening.

Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade. 

A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid. 

Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back. 

But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply will just move to meet demand and the void will be filled.

There’s an increasing demand for growers in Canterbury.

A reliable water supply and cheaper land than Marlborough and Hawke's Bay are attracting horticulture suppliers to the region.

Vegetables NZ chair John Murphy says it's great to see things like Rockit apples grown in South Canterbury.

He told Mike Hosking it will help achieve the goal of doubling export values, and new opportunities mean fresh produce can continue to be supplied to New Zealand.
