At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.
The school holidays: 7/10
760,000 will fly these next two weeks, which doesn’t include the thousands who have already flown from private school, which doesn’t include the thousands who drive. We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis.
Joe Biden: 1/10
Debates rarely turn out much but this time last week the world changed. Deciding to stay is a massive mistake his party will pay a price for.
Rishi Sunak: 4/10
Worked hard to limit the damage, but is the classic victim of the bloke who came along at the end of the chain and is there when the hammer goes down.
Emmanuel Macron: 2/10
Idiotic move of the year. The Tories were always going to get smashed but the Europe vote didn’t need to lead to what he then did. And this Sunday he will see how bad that mistake was.
Newshub: 4/10
It's been dragged out too long with far too much gnashing and wailing from people who still think they are a mile more important than they are. The fact is they couldn’t get an audience to attract the ads to pay the bills. You monetise or die. But less media is not good so ultimately we are all losers.
The All Blacks: 7/10
The first test is always full of anticipation and England are a good way to start as we welcome in the Razor years.

The first All Blacks game of the season is upon us.
It’s the first game with Scott Robertson at the helm, as his team faces England on Saturday.
New Zealand has won 33 of the last 43 matches against the Brits, and the All Blacks currently sit 3rd in the global rankings, two steps above England in 5th.
Former All Black Ian Jones told Mike Hosking that the energy level is high and we don’t know who’s going to win.
He said that the way Scott Robertson and his team has brought fans of the game on board and along for the ride, really selling the game, makes it really, really intriguing.

It feels like it's been coming forever, and in an odd way, it just might have been.
When the news division of Warner Bros. turns out the lights tonight, it’s the end of an era.
Or, an era. The simple truth is TV3 news never quite cut it and the history of fiscal dysfunction is the major reason why.
Some of it was their own doing. Some of it was the unluckiness of who owns you, why they own you and whether they are as invested as they might have been in different circumstances.
TV3 never really got off the ground properly.
They did a lot of good things. They brought genuine competition to the market, shook up the presentation and reportage of news a bit and discovered some very good personality-based talent. But at no time did they do what really needed to be done.
Rate.
They never toppled the main player in TV1. They made a dent or two. When they focused on specific demographics they made some big dents. But it never quite crossed the line in terms of the zeitgeist.
They never changed the landscape to the point where they were the champions or the kings of the hill.
They always remained the plucky little competitor, even years after that moniker became absurd, given they’ve been around the place for decades.
You can only run the "new kid in town" line for so long.
Of course it’s a credit to TVNZ who held them off. Not that they will be celebrating. The same way Newstalk ZB didn’t celebrate when we saw off a series of radio stations set up and designed to take us down or out.
Competition is a good thing and as of tonight, although Stuff will to a degree be taking over, it won't be the same. It doesn’t have the resource or the level of televisual expertise.
We wish them well of course. The landscape, in terms of terrestrial television, is shocking so all are more than welcome to keep the dream alive.
But media is a brutal business that became even more brutal with the internet and streaming and the world shrinking. You either get an audience and monetise it, or you don't.
It's sad, but emotion never paid the bills.

Pressure is increasing on Joe Biden to consider dropping his bid for a second Presidential term.
The sitting President and presumptive Democratic candidate remains committed to the race.
It follows a poor debate performance last week, in which Biden lost his way on several occasions.
US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Biden apparently annoyed some Governors when he met with them yesterday.
He says one asked Joe Biden about his health, to which he replied, 'I'm fine, it's just my brain.'

Whangarei's Mayor says the city will fare well from the government's new housing policy.
Housing Minister Chris Bishop's plans to "flood" the country with new homes have raised plenty of questions.
Local Government New Zealand says the lack of financial support for subsequent council roading and footpaths is a major concern.
Vince Cocurullo told Mike Hosking it won't have that problem.
He says Whangarei's council uses some money from developers to upgrade the area's infrastructure.
But, he says, not every council works the same way.

There’s speculation it's a low voter turnout in the UK, despite projections of a historic and dramatic election result.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party is expected to take up opposition for the first time in 14 years.
In the meantime, Keir Starmer's Labour could win the biggest majority since 1832.
Times Chief Political Correspondent Aubrey Allegretti told Mike Hosking they're wondering if voter turnout could be very low.
He says the opinion polls show record lows for the main two parties, so turnout could dip below 70%.

The UK election is set to confirm a landslide Labour victory after 14 years of Tory rule.
LBC Breakfast Host Nick Ferrari told Mike Hosking Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer could have his work cut out for him, wrangling what might be the largest majority since the mid-1800s.
He says this is the job Sir Keir has dreamt of since he was a boy.
Ferrari says in many ways, the real challenge begins once he crosses the threshold of Number 10 Downing St.
The final results are expected after 4 this afternoon.

The fat's been trimmed from Antarctica New Zealand's plans for Scott Base
The crown entity abandoned its previous large module three-building design after five years of development.
An independent review highlighted multiple concerns with the previous proposal - relating to high costs and contracting difficulties.
Board Chair Leon Grice told Mike Hosking the new plan will fit within the almost half a billion dollar budget.
He says a mixture of building new and refurbishing existing buildings is a cost-effective and low-risk way forward.

A punishing result looks likely for Rishi Sunak's Tory party with all signs pointing to Labour having the UK election in the bag.
Labour leader Keir Starmer is expected to take a sweeping victory with a campaign for change propelling his popularity.
The Conservative Party has held power for 14 years, but it's steadily losing its grip on the back of numerous broken promises.
UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that there’s no enthusiasm out there.
He said the general consensus from voters is that Labour can't do any worse than the Tories.

Future generations are sure to understand the quality of one of the country’s most important export sectors.
The Wool in Schools programme is expanding across primary schools this month, highlighting the insulating, thermo-regulating, and moisture wicking properties of natural, locally gown wool.
Plus, a tertiary pilot programme called Wool Dynamics is encouraging students to bring their own innovative ideas for the industry to the table.
GM for Campaign for Wool NZ Kara Biggs told Mike Hosking that while wool is in a bit of a tough position at the moment, there is a whole lot of optimism and positivity as well.
She said that they’re pretty excited about their new education programme, but they’re really putting pressure on themselves to increase the size of it, bringing wool to more schools.
