Kaitangata

The tiny town of Kaitangata on the South Island of New Zealand has a relatively unique problem - too many affordable houses and job opportunities and not enough people to fill them.

Now residents are on a recruitment drive to get people living in the country's more expensive cities to relocate.

About 800 people live in Kaitangata, which is part of the Clutha district.

Amenities include a local primary school, a bar and a pizza parlour.

The European Union will not hold informal talks with the UK until it triggers Article 50 to leave, Germany, France and Italy have insisted.

Global Anti-Globalisation Mood

The forces of globalisation are causing havoc for European workers as they are for American workers. If you are a white working class man (in particular) the combined effects of immigration, free trade and technology have made your job and your wages less secure. Policy makers in the UK and the US have singularly failed to address these issues in any meaningful way. If the Brexit camp wins next week it could suggest the global anti-globalisation mood (if such a thing is possible) is stronger than we realised.

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign, have tapped into a similar public mood of disgruntlement. On both sides of the Atlantic, a lot of people feel they've been handed a bad deal. In the UK, it's European bureaucrats in Brussels who are to blame. In the US, it's elected politicians in Washington who are held responsible. Mr Johnson promises Brits a better deal if they throw off the onerous yoke of EU regulations. Mr Trump promises Americans a better deal if they put him in the White House.

ACT in South Korea and Hong Kong

An examination for students in South Korea and Hong Kong hoping to study at US colleges has been cancelled after "credible evidence" emerged that it had been leaked in advance.

Administrators of the ACT test took the decision just hours before some 5,500 students were due to sit it.

The ACT is one of two entrance exams available to international and domestic students wanting to go to a US college.

This is not the first cheating scandal to hit the tests in East Asia.

The other entrance exam - the SAT - was cancelled in South Korea in 2013 because some of the questions were leaked.

Bernie Sanders

She is claiming constructive dismissal and is also bringing separate legal action against Jose Mourinho.

Bernie Sanders and California

For Bernie Sanders and his loyal supporters, California - the Golden State - is his golden ticket.

Yes, Hillary Clinton's lead in pledged delegates and total votes, as well as her vast advantage among the "superdelegate" party officials and officeholders, means she likely will accrue the necessary support on Tuesday to be the nominee even before polls close in California.

But the Sanders campaign is asserting that a win on the west coast, where surveys show the race is close, will fuel his efforts over the coming weeks, setting the stage for a showdown with Mrs Clinton on the floor of the Democratic convention in July.
