Thankyou, that would make sense as she says that she is from New Zealand and the Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, however I am concerned about the pronunciation. The word "kiora" as you have written it would, to me, be pronounced as key-or-ra. I cannot hear an "or" sound when she says this word. The way it is written must therefore not give an indication of how to pronounce the word.

Kiora and kia ora are both correct. Google it.

"Kiora" is Maori for "hello", "hi" and I guess "bye".

During the course of this unit, travelers will greet each other with the traditional Maori salutation,"Kia ora", which means hello and/or goodbye.
Kia ora!

I believe she is saying "Kyodo" its the name of a news agency like "reuters" or "AP" it would appear before a news story as the source of the story.

Is there an *old* Zealand? I'd think there must be, but I'd never heard of a place just called "Zealand".
