TVNZ has released its long-awaited report into the hiring of Breakfast presenter Kamahl Santamaria, and its head of news and current affairs Paul Yurisich has resigned.

The former Al Jazeera presenter lasted just 32 days in the job and left under a cloud of accusations of inappropriate behaviour to colleagues.

Reporter Louise Ternouth has the details.
