It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by the music of 2010. Why? That year was the last time New Zealand was in the Football World Cup.

On with the show:

Lisa Murray:

So much for global warming! Our Met Service forecaster talks about the chilly change we've experienced of late and the prospects for the coming week.

Dean Rabbidge:

For the second year in a row, the FMG Young Farmer of the Year will not screen on television due to a lack of interest from the two main national networks. TVNZ and TV3 have both declined the opportunity to screen the 50th season of the Contest despite its iconic status and continued popularity. The Contest chairperson described the decision as disappointing.

Don Carson:

Shane McManaway:

Fran O'Sullivan:

NZME's Head of Business updates us on the prospects of getting an agreement on the TPP at APEC in Vietnam.
