Fiji's public prosecutor won't lay charges against the Prime Minister over his alleged assault of an opposition MP. 

It's the latest in a string of defeats for NFP member Pio Tikoduadua, who in August said he was attacked by Frank Bainimarama.

Johnny Blades spoke to RNZ Pacific reporter Mackenzie Smith, who has been following the case, and began by asking him what the decision means.
