The Lord of the Rings movies showcased the best of New Zealands stunning countryside.

Now, new Amazon TV show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has gone back to the country for a blockbuster of a prequel.

There are very high expectations. The show is the most expensive ever made, and will inevitably be compared to Game of Thrones as well as the new Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, which has just come out on HBO and Sky.

Here is everything you need to know about how it fits in.

The Rings of Power tells the story of the forging of the rings of the same name, the ascension of the dark lord Sauron, and the final alliance between humans and elves in the Second Age.

This means it is set thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings books and films, long before the likes of Bilbo, Frodo and Sam graced Middle-earth.

However, thanks to the immortality of elves, there will be some characters you may recognise, including Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo).

Amazon Primes official synopsis for the show reads: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earths history.

This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkiens The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkiens pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth.

From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Nmenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will come to Amazon Prime in the early hours Friday 2 September in the UK, while US viewers can see them on Thursday night there.

The first two episodes will drop at 2am UK time. New episodes will then be released individually every Friday at the same time.

There are eight episodes in the first series relatively short for a modern TV show. The final episode of season one will air on Friday 14 October.

Like the movies before, much of this series was filmed in New Zealand.

The films gave the countrys tourism an enormous boost, and it reportedly saw a jump in visitors from 1.7 to 2.4 million between 2000 and 2006.

In 2012 one per cent of visitors cited The Lord of the Rings as a reason they travelled to New Zealand, which was worth NZ$33m

It was mostly filmed between February 2020 August 2021 in Auckland, New Zealand. The set was beset with difficulty due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

They mostly used Kumeu Film Studios and Auckland Film Studios, and they headed to Hauraki Gulf/Tkapa Moana in the north.

Coastal city Piha will be featured, with its craggy landscape, as will the Coromandel Peninsula, which is known for its beaches and forested areas.

Fiordland national park and the Rangitikei District are also rumoured to be featured in the series.

Executive producers Patrick McKay and John D Payne said they had been looking for somewhere majestic, with pristine coasts, forests, and mountains.

The second series, however, will be filmed in the UK. It is thought this will be cheaper and make Europe more accessible.

Executive producer Lindsey Weber admitted leaving the country after wrapping was a hard departure.

Last year, sources were reported as saying Bray Film Studios and Bovingdon Airfield will be selected as locations, while others are likely to be announced as well.

It features the following actors:

Most countries no longer require passengers to wear face masks on flights.

New Zealand is now one of the few remaining countries to require face masks on flights but a move to the green light level could see that rule scrapped.

Australias national cabinet has just agreed to remove the mask mandate for passengers on domestic flights from September 9.

Asked whether the Government would follow Australia's lead and drop mandatory mask wearing on flights, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: "Over the next few weeks, we're reviewing our settings... so looking at the way the traffic light system is working for us now and what we might need to do in the future.

We expect to share the details of that once we've received all of the final public health advice in the coming couple of weeks".

READ MORE:* Covid-19: Why are face masks necessary on flights?* Air NZ's Koru Hour is back: Is it safe to take your mask off to eat and drink? * Covid-19: How the updated traffic light system works

Australias move comes after Singapore Airlines last week announced passengers would no longer be required to wear face masks on flights, unless travelling to a destination where mask-wearing is mandated.

Most US airlines have dropped masking requirements since a federal judge struck down the travel mask mandate in April, while the European Union abolished its mandatory face mask requirement on flights and at airports in May.

In New Zealand, face masks have been mandatory for passengers aged 12 and over on all domestic flights since November 2020.

Face masks are also compulsory on all international flights to New Zealand.

When the Covid-19 Protection Framework, or traffic light system, was introduced in December 2021, face masks on domestic flights were compulsory under all settings red, orange and green. Under green, flights were the only scenario in which masks were required.

However, that requirement was removed from green when the Government made changes to the traffic light system in March.

The updated rules mean that if the Government decides to move to the green light setting in two weeks time, face masks will no longer be mandatory on flights though airlines may choose to enforce their own face mask policies.

Passengers may also choose to continue to wear them. While the aviation industry says the risk of contracting Covid-19 onboard a plane is low because of the way air is filtered, health experts still recommend wearing face masks because these filtration systems cant be relied on the whole time like when boarding and disembarking the plane.

A Harvard University study found the risk of transmission on an aircraft could be reduced to very low levels through a layered approach, with face masks considered the most essential layer.

On the governments Unite Against Covid-19 website, the Life at Green section says face masks are useful in poorly ventilated indoor areas and when you are around people you do not know.

The Australian company will sell the assets to investment management firm Charter Hall for approximately $80.94 million.

Ampol has announced it will sell 49% of its New Zealand-based properties of its Z Energy subsidiary for roughly $80.94 million. The company confirmed that it found a buyer in management firm Charter Hall Retail REIT for the 51 properties across the country.

According to a recent report by Reuters, the fuel retailer has stated that the assets would be transferred to an unlisted property vehicle. While Charter Hall will obtain 49% ownership, Z will still hold 51% of the property as well as strategic and operational control of locations. In addition, the brand will lease all sites back under long-term triple net lease arrangements.

Ampol has confirmed the deal to be part of its partnership with Charter Hall in Australia, as well as being in line with its strategy to maximise opportunities for its core freehold sites. The company also announced that this transaction is expected to deliver about $75.25 million in net proceeds.

Z Energy was founded in 2011, after Infratil Limited and Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation bought the Aotearoa fuel business. By 2016, the brand became the wholesale fuel supplier to the network of Caltex-branded service stations. Last year, Z entered a scheme of arrangement with Ampol Limited and, since May of 2022, it has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Ampol Group until now.

India A vs New Zealand live telecast: When and where to watch IND A vs NZ A live in India? - Times Now

Wellington [New Zealand], September 1 (ANI): New Zealands fast bowling duo of Jess Kerr, Molly Penfold and top-order batter Lauren Down returned as New Zealand Cricket on Thursday announced a squad for the West Indies for three ICC Womens Championship ODIs and five T20Is.

The trio are the only changes to the 15-player squad which claimed bronze at the recent Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, with Claudia Green, Rosemary Mair and wicket-keeper Jess McFadyen making way.

Kerr, whos become a mainstay with the new ball for the WHITE FERNS in recent years, was a late withdrawal ahead of the Birmingham Games due to a foot injury, while Down opted out ahead of the tournament to prioritise her well-being.

Coach Ben Sawyer congratulated all three players on their inclusion for the tour, which comprises a three-game ODI series and a five-game T20I series in Antigua, starting September 16.

Its an exciting time for the whole squad and particularly the three players making their returns. Weve seen the success Jess has enjoyed on the international stage in her career to date and its been encouraging to see her working her way back from injury, and training with the London Spirt over here in the Hundred in recent weeks, Sawyer said.

Its great to see Lauren return after taking some personal time away from the game. She was flying with the bat heading into the ODI World Cup in New Zealand earlier this year only to be ruled out of the tournament with that thumb injury so were looking forward to welcoming her back into the environment.

I first saw Molly bowling when I was working with Australia at the ODI World Cup and remember telling them how good I thought she was, just from watching her practice. You could see she had all the natural attributes for fast bowling and Ive been sent a few videos of her recent progress she seems to be going really well, he added.

Canterbury Magicians all-rounder Lea Tahuhu has retained her place in the squad after impressing as a replacement for Kerr at the Commonwealth Games.

The squad sees the retention of the four youngsters who impressed in Birmingham: wicket-keeper Izzy Gaze, Wellington Blaze batter Georgia Plimmer, Auckland Hearts left-arm spinner Fran Jonas, and Otago Spark off-spinner Eden Carson.

Sophie Devine will captain the side which also features the familiar faces of Suzie Bates, Maddy Green and Melie Kerr.

New Zealands women last toured West Indies in 2014, when they lost the ODI series 4-0, but managed to edge the T20Is 2-1 following a thrilling Super Over victory in the deciding match.

Buyers in the market for up-to-date plates can redesign their existing Government-issued combination from a white background to the new Black Plates from $199, with other options ranging in price depending on the level of personalisation. A 'restyle' is when people keep their current plate combination, but customise the design.

The release of the new Black Plates comes after a rigorous testing process with Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency and the New Zealand Police. Before any new plate design is approved for New Zealand's roads, it needs to comply with existing vehicle legislation and pass an extensive testing process. This includes camera testing in different conditions to ensure the new number plate is recognised correctly across different camera systems.

The updated plates also come with a new security feature in the form of a silver hologram forming the letters 'NZ', which is located on the bottom right corner of the plate. The security feature identifies the number plate as being authentic, which will assist the Police with on-road identification when required.

"The most popular request from our customers was for KiwiPlates to introduce black number plates. We listened to the market and have worked collaboratively with Waka Kotahi to make that happen," Wilson added.

Based on global trends, KiwiPlates expects that in time, the Black Plates could become more popular than the current white version, mainly due to the popularity of the colourway in overseas markets and black being New Zealand's national colour.

The company added that the Black Plates can make a significant visual change to the look and feel of the car and will likely prove popular among car enthusiasts, as well as Kiwis wanting to improve the aesthetic appeal of their vehicles.

KiwiPlates was appointed by Waka Kotahi in 2016 to market and sell personalisedplates in Aotearoa. Their sales help to make New Zealand's roads safer, as Waka Kotahi's Community Road Safety Fund is solely funded by the sale of personalised plates.

The one skill we as humans all share excellence in is the ability to judge. A skill which has been developed throughout hundreds of years has allowed us to thrive and burn repeatedly. And with the world ever-expanding and connecting through various means of media, judgements are easier to vocalize than ever.

And yet, throughout said years, we havent been able to normalize the notion of respect for one another, or at the very least, learning when to keep ones mouth shut. If you dont understand dont speak on it. Learn about it. Take your judgements and see where they stem from. But this is a story about the other side about those who decide that their judgements are worthy of attention.

A New Zealand news anchor with a traditional face tattoo representative of her Mori heritage had been receiving complaints from a man, solely because he disapproved of her look. Enough was enough and she responded, sending a very clear message to all disrespect will not be tolerated.

Oriini Kaipara made history last year when she became the first person with moko kauaeMori markings on her chinto host national primetime news in New Zealand. She gave her first bulletin on Newshub in December 2021, with many cheering on the milestone as a win for Mori representation.

Image credits: oriinz

T moko is a unique expression of cultural heritage and identity through tattoo, and, as Mori believe the head is the most sacred part of the body, facial tattoos have special significance. Moko kauae are received by women on their lips and chin, representing their ancestry, status within their community, and abilities. It is a tradition passed down through generations from the ancestress Niwareka.

Before the arrival of European settlers, the complex designs of t moko were carved into the skin. This method of tattooing is based on the use of broad-toothed combs of varying widths, dipped in dark pigment, and struck into the skin with small mallets known as t. The pigment used was soot obtained from burning kahikatea, or white pine, sometimes mixed with kauri gum or soot from the oily koromiko (hebe) shrub.

Although she received much praise for honoring her culture, there were those who were appalled.

One man made it his personal mission to complain about her on-air presence. The man named David had been sending letters to the news station, asking them to remove her as a news anchor due to her looks and her use of Mori language.

Oriini shared one of his messages in her Instagram stories: We continue to object strongly to you using a Mori news presenter with a moku (sic) which is offensive and aggressive looking. A bad look. She also bursts into the Mori language which we do not understand. Stop it now.

This was the last straw shed had enough of his ignorant abuse. This guy is one of those gifts that keep on giving she wrote in the Instagram story. He constantly complains about my MOKU and that I look aggressive. Hes not emailing me direct but the whole tari kawe prongo. Today I had enough.

Image credits: oriinz

Her response went as follows: Kia ora (trans. hello) David, Thank you for all your complaints against me and my moku. I do find them very difficult to take seriously given there is no breach of broadcast standards. If I may, Id like to correct you on one thing its moko not moku. A simple, helpful pronunciation guide of Maw-Caw will help you articulate the world correctly.

She continued to say: I gather your complaints stem from a place of preference on how one must look on-screen, according to you. Moko and people with them are not threatening nor do they deserve such discrimination, harassment, and prejudice.

Image credits: oriinz

Moko are ancient cultural markings unique to the indigenous people of Aotearoa, myself included. We mean no harm or ill intent nor do we/I deserve to be treated with such disregard.

Please refrain from complaining further, and restrain your cultural ignorance and bias for another lifetime, preferably in the 1800s. She thanked him for his time in the Mori language and signed the letter as the lady with the moko kauae who speaks Mori but MOSTLY English on TV. With love and cheek indeed!

Image credits: oriinz

Thankfully such messages are outliers in the overall supportive sea of messages Oriini receives. The fact that my existence triggers some people is testament to why we need more Mori advocates in key roles across every sector, she told the NZ Herald.

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini. Success is not the work of an individual but the work of many.

Image credits: oriinz

Image credits: oriinz

Oriini wanted to adopt the tattoo in 2019 after discovering she was 100 percent Mori after taking a DNA test in 2017. She is of Thoe, Ngti Awa, Twharetoa and Ngti Rangitihi descent. When I doubt myself, and I see my reflection in the mirror, Im not just looking at myself, she told CNN. Im looking at my grandmother and my mother, and my daughters, and those to come after me, as well as all the other women and Mori girls out there. It empowers me.

Shes also an avid advocate for the Mori language, commonly using phrases such as E haere ake nei (still to come), tonu mai (stay with us) and Taihoa e haere (dont go just yet). Her ultimate goal, she told CNN, is to encourage people to speak the language that was beaten out of [her] grandmothers generation and reclaim it for Mori people.

Image credits: oriinz

We still havent addressed a lot of intergenerational traumas and colonization and for Mori, thats very, very pertinent and poignant as well, Oriini said. Not much in terms of race relations here has changed in a very long time. But this is just the beginning.

Oriini hopes that her story will inspire generations of Mori youth and theyll see that times are finally changing. For a long time our people, our ancestors, our tipuna, and us now, have done so much work to get to where we are, she told CNN.

Image credits: oriinz

As a young woman, as a young Mori, what you do today influences and affects what happens tomorrow. So all I ask is that they see the beauty in being Mori and they embrace it and acknowledge that and do what they can with it for positive change.

We wish Oriini nothing but the best for the future keep slaying the haters with class! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and make sure to upvote and follow the author so as to keep justice coming! Poroporoaki mo naianei!
