The morning's headlines in 90 seconds, including raw sewage flowing into the sea, Bill Gates talks about his ties to Epstein, and the Black Foils count down to Auckland Sail GP.

About a third of ICE agents will be pulled out of Minnesota after weeks of turmoil.

The Black Foils boat has arrived in Auckland for last minute repairs ahead of the Auckland Sail GP.
