America's Cup: Last-minute deal secures Auckland venue

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 27 March 2018

A last-minute deal has secured the America's Cup sailing regatta for Auckland. The deal's announcement came just hours before a deadline set by Team New Zealand which had been meeting potential challengers in Italy overnight. The team may have been on the brink of taking the event to Italy, due to the state of negotiations last week with the government. RNZ Auckland correspondent Todd Niall talks to Susie Fergusson.
