A new report by Outward Bound reveals young Kiwis are feeling less optimistic about the future than ever, with a majority believing the world is on a downward trajectory. The report shows over a quarter of young people have 'little to no confidence' and one in four young men report having zero close friends. Outward Bound CEO Malindi MacLean says young people feel like they have less power to change the world around them, and this perceived lack of agency feels confronting. "Young people who spend more than four hours a day online... they're feeling like they have less agency and control. And then there's also a gender divide, so young women are actually significantly more pessimistic than young men about the state of the world."

Civil Defence is warning landslides can happen without warning, after this week's record-breaking downpours across the upper North Island. The adverse weather conditions have triggered slips across the region, and people have been put at risk as a result. Andrew Stolte from the University of Auckland explained how to identify banks or cliffs that could pose a risk. "At the top, if a slip is starting to happen, you might see evidence of cracks forming at the top of a slope, indicating that mass is going to come down and move at you." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fire and Emergency says crews won't stop searching until everyone is found, following a landslide that tore through Mount Maunganui’s Beachside Holiday Park. Fewer than 10 people are still unaccounted for - including young people. Voices haven't been heard since soon after the slip smashed through tents, cars, caravans, a toilet block and the pools, and investigations are still ongoing. Shane was in the area when he started observing the damage following the disaster, and he joined the Afternoons team to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
