The fatal bombing of the Rainbow Warrior is being remembered, four decades on. 

It's 40 years to the day since photographer Fernando Pereira was killed when the Greenpeace ship was bombed by French spies. 

The anniversary's been marked with a dawn service, hosted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, at Auckland's Viaduct. 

A new six-part podcast, written and presented by John Daniell and Noelle McCarthy, reexamines the events leading up to the terror attack, and the subsequent fallout on both sides of the world. 

McCarthy joined Kerre Woodham to delve into the history and circumstances surrounding the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior.
