FIFA president Gianni Infantino said at its annual congress in Rwanda that the money should go directly to players. “The players’ union FIFPRO had challenged FIFA to secure a global guarantee that 30 percent of the prize money would go to players.

New Zealand's GDP figures will be out next week- but what will that mean for the economy? Economists are currently predicting a marginal increase in New Zealand's GDP, and economic activity is on the rise. NZ Herald business editor Liam Dann says a minimal increase or decrease won't affect most people's experience of the economy, and it's too marginal to worry about. LISTEN ABOVE

Air NZ will pass on increased airport charges
Auckland Airport looks set to progressively lift airline charges over the next five years, after a year-long price freeze. But Air NZ chief executive Greg Foran told RNZ's Checkpoint an increase in charges from Auckland Airport would affect ticket prices. Auckland Airport said airline domestic jet charges would increase 130 percent, reaching $15.45 per passenger by 2027. Earlier today Auckland Airport said airlines had benefited from "very low domestic charges" that reflected the age and condition of the domestic terminal. "We need to do the same to ensure travellers have a great experience when they travel through Auckland Airport."

Political Roundup: Does Michael Wood have enough integrity to be a minister? - Bryce Edwards
This time Labour Cabinet Minister Michael Wood has been caught out for not complying with the Cabinet and Parliamentary rules in properly disclosing his ownership of shares in Auckland International Airport. To make matters worse, it appears as though Wood has also misled the Cabinet Office on the issue of divesting his shares. Likewise, in terms of the planned light rail to Auckland Airport, Wood has been driving the case to keep this $14.6 billion project going in the face of strong opposition. Critics can rightly argue that Wood’s actions were advantageous to Auckland Airport, because it meant that their monopoly in Auckland was protected. Arguably this was also the fault of the Cabinet Office, which apparently didn’t warn the PM’s Office.
