The US President Donald Trump appears to be considering a return to the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Republican Senators in Washington say President Trump has asked his top trade officials to look into rejoining the TPP which he railed against during his election campaign, and from which the U.S. withdrew last year. Eleven Pacific Rim countries, including New Zealand, signed a revised trade agreement last month which is yet to be ratified. Lynn Freeman speaks with New Zealand trade commentator and former negotiator, Charles Finny.

09:20 Stopping Groundhog Day in disability services

A common complaint in disability services is around a poverty of experiences, expectations and connections for people with cognitive disabilities. Where for many every day can feel like Groundhog Day, with people stuck doing the same activities, on repeat. Vancouver-based Dr Sarah Schulman, CEO of Inwithforward wants to change this. She's behind a new online learning and volunteer platform called Kudoz. It's being described as like an Airbnb for real world learning! Sarah has been presenting to the NZ Disability Support Network conference and is working with a group of New Zealanders to establish Kudoz NZ.

09:45 Asia correspondent Anna Fifield

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prepares to meet US President Donald Trump. They used to be in lock-step on North Korea but now Trump is holding a summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un and has slapped steel tariffs on Japan. Is their bromance dead? Also, toxic alcohol has caused more than 100 people to die in Indonesia in April, as a consequence of the black market, and China's sperm bank wants proof of loyalty to the Communist Party.
