The Tonga Government says there's no threat so it's lifted state of emergency regulations; we look at the relationshiop between water and disease in the Pacific; a Samoa man pleads guilty to killing his daughter six years ago; we hear from New Zealand new police chief who's just finished a four year stint in Solomon Islands; Ten apparently mysterious deaths in remote northern villages in Papua New Guinea have been have actually come as a result of a lack of access to health services; The President of of the Solomon Islands Bar Assocation has described the Parole Board decision to release an MP shorlty after he was refused bail as an attack on the judiciary; New Zealand has committed around 3-point-8 million US dollars [$5 million NZ] to support the development of tourism in Tonga; Efforts to enforce primary school fee levels in Fiji have led one union to call for an assessment of how much it actually costs to educate a child; Rubbish in the Marshall Islands' main town has got nowhere to go right now; The Tonga Government has removed emergency regulations that had stopped assembly in parts of Nuku'alofa and gave authority for the army to be called out if the government had security concerns; and the government in Vanuatu has now approved about 800-thousand dollars for relief supplies for Tafea province - almost three weeks after Cyclone Vania wreaked havoc on food crops there.
