	Description:		A Kiwi who joined Islamic State has surrendered to Kurdish forces and is being held in a Syrian prison. Mark Taylor, a former New Zealand soldier, says he was a border guard for Isis after joining the terror group in 2014. The former Hamilton resident was infamously dubbed the "bumbling jihadi", after mistakenly revealing his location in the Middle East on social media. Now there are questions over whether he will return to NZ, and how our government will handle his case. Auckland houses have hit a ten year low, with realtor Barfoot & Thompson having its quietest month in the last 10 years to February, and sales down 28 per cent from a year earlier. It comes as a OneRoof Property Report shows just a third of NZ homes are mortgage-free, despite the current low interest rates. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
