Susana has an update on Covid in the Pacific. Kiribati records its second death amid more than 2000 active cases since the virus arrived a month ago, rising case numbers in New Caledonia and French Polynesia and Tonga's community outbreak now has 65 cases and a case has been recorded now on the island of Vava'u.

And sad news from Sydney, with the death of Rugby League great Olsen Filipaina.
