Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge new
0:08
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
0:12
Speaker 1: New Zealand's Furniture Vans and a play at store ustorgs.
0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, welcome to your Friday morning. It
0:18
Speaker 2: is six half to five for coming up our lead
0:20
Speaker 2: in view before six Ginny Anderson's foaming at the mouth
0:23
Speaker 2: about this police recruitment target potentially not being met. But
0:27
Speaker 2: what do the cops actually think about it? Vincent mcaviniy
0:30
Speaker 2: is UK Europe today, Andrew Ellison is in Wellington, the
0:33
Speaker 2: Black Cats versus England and Fonterra prophet down, but forecasts
0:38
Speaker 2: for farm gate prices up. Will look at that just
0:41
Speaker 2: before well actually we'll look at that in about ten
0:43
Speaker 2: minutes time the agenda and it is Friday, sixth of December.
0:50
Speaker 2: Looking at this killing, very public killing of the CEO
0:54
Speaker 2: of United Healthcare in New York City. The murderer still
0:57
Speaker 2: has not been identified, and the bullets that we used
1:00
Speaker 2: to kill him apparently had the words deny, defend and
1:03
Speaker 2: depose written on them.
1:05
Speaker 3: Add to seeing we recover three live nine milimeters rounds
1:09
Speaker 3: and three discharged nine milimeters shell casings.
1:12
Speaker 2: The murder. For this murder currently is ann Apparently, his
1:16
Speaker 2: wife said he had received death threats before he was killed,
1:20
Speaker 2: and this happened a day before an investor meeting. Bitcoin's
1:23
Speaker 2: surge is continuing, hitting a record one hundred thousand US
1:27
Speaker 2: dollars for the first time. This is a forty percent
1:30
Speaker 2: increase in value, so good on you if you bought
1:32
Speaker 2: it after Trump came to power, forty percent increase in
1:36
Speaker 2: value since he got in. It's risen four point three
1:39
Speaker 2: percent just today overnight. Trump's election obviously a big signal
1:45
Speaker 2: for this. The US, the crypto capital of the world,
1:47
Speaker 2: is what he described as in the future. One analyst, though,
1:51
Speaker 2: last week, said beware, is it actually a widely used
1:55
Speaker 2: and usable product or is this just hype with bitcoin?
2:00
Speaker 2: And who uses it? Drug dealers, terrorists, criminals, not US.
2:05
Speaker 2: Syrian troops are withdrawing from Hamma as rebel forces surround
2:09
Speaker 2: the city. Last week they captured Aleppo that continue to
2:12
Speaker 2: make gain since then. This is a significant development because
2:15
Speaker 2: it is on the road to Damascus. The main rebel.
2:18
Speaker 4: Faction is an Islamist fundamentalist group, an offshoot of a
2:23
Speaker 4: successor of Al Qaeda, but Turkey has been backing some
2:25
Speaker 4: of these rebel groups for years, and that's one of
2:28
Speaker 4: the reasons why these rebel groups have been successful. The
2:30
Speaker 4: other reason is because Russia is partly overstretched by its
2:35
Speaker 4: war in Ukraine.
2:36
Speaker 2: We have a meeting taking place between our foreign and
2:39
Speaker 2: defense ministers this New Zealand and Australia held in Auckland today.
2:43
Speaker 2: Discussions will include how we can partner to respond to
2:46
Speaker 2: growing instability and the Endo Pacific and we all know
2:49
Speaker 2: what that is code for, at least in Judith Colin size,
2:51
Speaker 2: and that is China firing a missile into the Pacific.
2:56
Speaker 5: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you twenty twenty
3:00
Speaker 5: four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
3:04
Speaker 5: beds and a playing store, youth talks.
3:06
Speaker 2: It'd be story of the morning for your Friday. I
3:08
Speaker 2: we'll get to it a little later on. But it's
3:10
Speaker 2: this Italian nun who's been arrested for links to the mafia. Yes,
3:14
Speaker 2: holy hell right now though the big capacity. This is
3:17
Speaker 2: another thing that's come out of Scrutiny Week, which by
3:20
Speaker 2: the way, is turning out to be quite a productive
3:23
Speaker 2: use of Parliament's time. Would we say, I think so? Anyway,
3:28
Speaker 2: I think we've got a lot out of it. What
3:29
Speaker 2: a great idea. So the big capacity this is that
3:33
Speaker 2: our prisons across the country is projected to run out.
3:36
Speaker 2: So in other words, we won't have any beds for
3:38
Speaker 2: prisoners in twenty twenty seven. That is the best case scenario.
3:42
Speaker 2: The worst June next year. I know, maybe we should
3:47
Speaker 2: start a billeting system, you know, where if the prisons
3:51
Speaker 2: are full and the because the police are doing a
3:54
Speaker 2: good job, they're going out and arresting the gangs, et cetera,
3:56
Speaker 2: blah blah, just you know, let them at your house.
3:58
Speaker 2: Apparently we will be saved, hopefully. And this is fingers
4:02
Speaker 2: crossed by Waikerdia. There's an expansion project going on there.
4:05
Speaker 2: Phase one is due to be completed by the middle
4:08
Speaker 2: of next year. Now, due to be completed does not
4:11
Speaker 2: mean it will be completed. And we've all seen what's
4:14
Speaker 2: happening with infrastructure projects in this country, right, So fingers crossed, everybody,
4:18
Speaker 2: Good luck everybody. How did we get here? Is the
4:20
Speaker 2: interesting part of this from these scrutiny week the Corrections
4:25
Speaker 2: boss says, because there was a reduction in the prison
4:28
Speaker 2: population some you know, under the last government. Some facilities
4:32
Speaker 2: were basically empty, they were taken out of use, and
4:36
Speaker 2: now they need to be updated. They need to be
4:38
Speaker 2: upgraded in order that prisoners can go back into them.
4:43
Speaker 2: And then of course you need to think about staffing
4:45
Speaker 2: those prisons, those locations as well. So that is how
4:49
Speaker 2: we got here, and hopefully it won't you know, we
4:51
Speaker 2: won't end up with a prisoner at your place.
4:54
Speaker 5: Ryan Bridge.
5:00
Speaker 2: After five, it is your Friday morning. Also today happening
5:03
Speaker 2: actually in a few hours, Emmanuel Maholm is going to
5:06
Speaker 2: address the French people. I'll run you through when we
5:08
Speaker 2: get back. How we got here, how they got here.
5:13
Speaker 2: Quite a mess there.
5:14
Speaker 5: In News and Views you trust to start your day,
5:25
Speaker 5: it's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
5:29
Speaker 5: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store.
5:31
Speaker 2: News talk said, be on bitcoin. Somebody says my elderly
5:35
Speaker 2: sister uses bitcoin to buy groceries and in Vicargo, is
5:38
Speaker 2: it a joke or can you actually do that? I'm
5:42
Speaker 2: I would like to know. Another says in on Waikittya.
5:45
Speaker 2: This is the prison numbers. Apparently we're going to run
5:47
Speaker 2: out of beds by the middle of next year. Waikya
5:50
Speaker 2: is three years behind time, and it's the same company
5:53
Speaker 2: that built Transmission Gully. I'm picking twenty twenty six, fourteen
5:56
Speaker 2: after five Ryan Bridge Bontira has lifted its forecast farm
6:00
Speaker 2: eight milk prices too, between nine to fifty to ten
6:02
Speaker 2: dollars fifty. The dairy cooperative says it's seeing increasing demand
6:06
Speaker 2: from China and Southeast Asia. The move comes despite profits
6:09
Speaker 2: falling from three hundred and forty six million to two
6:12
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty three million. That's a thirty percent reduction
6:14
Speaker 2: on the same time last year. That's for quarter one.
6:16
Speaker 2: Matt Montgomery is the Forsyth Bars senior analyst. Equities is
6:20
Speaker 2: with us this morning. Matt, good morning, Good morning Ryan,
6:23
Speaker 2: thanks having me had good great result about the well
6:27
Speaker 2: if the result materializes about the forecast farm gate milk.
6:30
Speaker 6: Prices, Yeah, no, indeed, I think if you look at
6:33
Speaker 6: recent Glowood dry trade doctions have been strong and ten
6:38
Speaker 6: dollars would be a record high if you look at
6:41
Speaker 6: the midpoint in nominal terms. The previous high was nine
6:45
Speaker 6: dollars thirty back in two So yeah, father.
6:50
Speaker 2: How high? How much high could it potentially go? I
6:53
Speaker 2: mean I'm reading that this is all about China, in
6:55
Speaker 2: particular stockpiling ahead of Christmas learning New Year? Is it
6:58
Speaker 2: the does it taper OFFXT year?
7:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I'm reluctant to forecast that, I must say.
7:05
Speaker 6: I mean commodity places are inherently qualatile, but the China
7:12
Speaker 6: demand has been fluggish for some time, so there's pleasing
7:16
Speaker 6: could least see that they're returning.
7:19
Speaker 7: In some ways.
7:20
Speaker 2: What about the profit for a quarter one miles houses
7:24
Speaker 2: that was a strong result despite the thirty percent reduction.
7:28
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think for Frottierra, you've got to consider that
7:33
Speaker 6: when milk prices are high like they are, and that
7:37
Speaker 6: often tends to mean that margins and their consumer and
7:41
Speaker 6: food service businesses are slightly well good in their inability
7:46
Speaker 6: to pass the higher prices on. So they reiterated their
7:51
Speaker 6: full year earnings guidance yesterday for forty to sixty cents
7:54
Speaker 6: this year. So I think that's the important thing to
7:57
Speaker 6: consider where that that's exactly what they had been signaling
8:01
Speaker 6: back in September when they reported their results, So it
8:04
Speaker 6: shouldn't be any major surprises to to invest it all funners.
8:10
Speaker 2: They're also a business and transition, which is another thing
8:13
Speaker 2: that Harrell spoke about you spoke about yesterday.
8:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, there's there's been a lot of change in
8:20
Speaker 6: the corp for a number of years now. So Darla
8:23
Speaker 6: wouldn't say that it's reflective of thirty percent client. It's
8:28
Speaker 6: more affliction of Haylo's. This is a volatile business and
8:32
Speaker 6: it's thank move around prices and their last year was
8:36
Speaker 6: a very good year as well. I think that's important
8:39
Speaker 6: to consider too.
8:40
Speaker 2: Matt, thank you very much for that analysis. Really appreciated
8:43
Speaker 2: this morning. Matt Montgomery for sith Bast Senior Analyst, Equities.
8:46
Speaker 2: It is seventeen after five US Talk sed.
8:48
Speaker 5: B Ryan Bridge, New for twenty twenty four on early
8:53
Speaker 5: edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture, Beds and a
8:56
Speaker 5: playing Store.
8:57
Speaker 2: News Talks b nineteen after five on news Talk said,
9:00
Speaker 2: so the French president Emmanuel Macron is going to address
9:04
Speaker 2: the public in a couple of hours time. He has
9:06
Speaker 2: to pick a new prime minister. Varna is see your
9:09
Speaker 2: later mate, he's gone. Well, actually he's still there running
9:12
Speaker 2: day to day issues, but he's basically gone. And then
9:16
Speaker 2: they're basically back to square one. You know, let's not
9:19
Speaker 2: forget and people are saying you need to pick a
9:21
Speaker 2: new Prime minister quickly, but he should probably take just
9:24
Speaker 2: a little bit more time, seen as how much they've
9:26
Speaker 2: wasted already, you know, and get it right, because remember
9:31
Speaker 2: it was Macron who called the snap election that led
9:34
Speaker 2: to the hung parliament, that led to bargner, that led
9:37
Speaker 2: to the budget bust up, that led to the collapse
9:39
Speaker 2: of the government. And now they are back at square
9:42
Speaker 2: one basically when we watched the Olympics. Remember they just
9:44
Speaker 2: had three weeks prior they're elections. They're basically back there,
9:48
Speaker 2: no budget and no Prime Minister. Bryan Bridge Wellington gearing
9:53
Speaker 2: up to host the cricket this weekend. The black Caps
9:55
Speaker 2: have selected an unchanged lineup for the second Test against
9:58
Speaker 2: England at the Base from Reserve starts this morning. Andrew
10:01
Speaker 2: Ordison is there news Talks. Heb's cricket correspondent, Andrew. Good morning, greetings, Ryan,
10:07
Speaker 2: good to have you, Good to hear from you. Nice
10:09
Speaker 2: to have you in the Capitol for us this morning.
10:11
Speaker 2: So they've kept the faith with this team that lost
10:14
Speaker 2: in christ Church. Have they made the right call? Do
10:16
Speaker 2: you reckon?
10:18
Speaker 3: I think by a large yes. I mean I'm looking
10:20
Speaker 3: at that pitch yesterday. It's going to be green and
10:24
Speaker 3: seam options will come to the foe pretty early. I
10:26
Speaker 3: would have thought if New Zealander's able to when the
10:29
Speaker 3: task I think of Edisie wins a task, they're likely
10:31
Speaker 3: to fields first and to make the best of those
10:36
Speaker 3: bowling conditions. Just having a look looking back when there's
10:40
Speaker 3: some talk you could have maybe used a spinner and
10:42
Speaker 3: that's why Mitchell Sander was brought into the squad or
10:45
Speaker 3: you know, the specialist spur of content Philips. They're all
10:48
Speaker 3: ready but just looking there's been one first class game
10:51
Speaker 3: there this season. Three wickets of the forty that we're
10:54
Speaker 3: taken with to spin, not a whole lot. There was
10:57
Speaker 3: an argument last season in said bry Becaus Nathan Line,
11:00
Speaker 3: the Australian has been a top ten for the match,
11:02
Speaker 3: that maybe they should introduce that option war but he's
11:05
Speaker 3: inn sticking with the tribe that the key thing right
11:08
Speaker 3: has been the catching and if the catchers has been
11:10
Speaker 3: taken the first thing some christ, she could have been
11:13
Speaker 3: a whole a lot different the situation he's in out
11:15
Speaker 3: there practicing that catching. At Linked yesterday sort of players
11:20
Speaker 3: lined up along the fence with Jacob Warren, the assistant
11:24
Speaker 3: coach delivering the big hits and also Gary Stead feeding
11:27
Speaker 3: the slip cording with the plumb trying to sharpen that up.
11:31
Speaker 2: But it didn't look to be going very well from
11:34
Speaker 2: what I saw, from what I saw on the news.
11:37
Speaker 8: Andrew Yes, it's a sort of a scenario of yet
11:41
Speaker 8: you have the tricky rehearsal if you like, before the
11:45
Speaker 8: main events in theater they say break the.
11:48
Speaker 3: Leg going like that anyway, We'll see how that goes.
11:51
Speaker 3: But he's in the traditionally an excellent fielding site, so
11:55
Speaker 3: that was one that was expect good with that performance.
12:01
Speaker 3: Eight drop catches and the editings which really in five
12:04
Speaker 3: in Harry Brooks innings alone, which really cost them the game.
12:07
Speaker 2: They are both out to both teams now out of
12:10
Speaker 2: the World Test Championship running. Does that mean that they'll
12:13
Speaker 2: be a bit looser, Yeah, it could be.
12:16
Speaker 3: I mean he's given me crucially losing those points to
12:19
Speaker 3: to the lack of overs in the day, to the
12:23
Speaker 3: slow over rates, and there's been some dispute over that
12:26
Speaker 3: where you get a lot more seamovers in the likes
12:28
Speaker 3: and you get on in the Australian versus that the
12:30
Speaker 3: spitting on the subcontinent. But yeah, I think you could
12:34
Speaker 3: see a bit more. The prevare to throw causing to
12:37
Speaker 3: the wind in that regard perhaps, But then again, most
12:41
Speaker 3: teams then playing for results these days, by large's very
12:44
Speaker 3: few draws, and particularly where this English side is involved,
12:47
Speaker 3: and the likelihood is that you'll end up with a
12:49
Speaker 3: match that's prince less than five days anyway, given the
12:51
Speaker 3: tempo that they play at the.
12:54
Speaker 2: Visitors Andrew, thank you, look forward to hearing you later
12:57
Speaker 2: this morning. Appreciate your time in getting up early for us.
13:00
Speaker 2: Andrew Ortison, zeb's cricket correspondent. It is twenty three minutes
13:03
Speaker 2: half to five. You're on News TALKSB the.
13:06
Speaker 5: Early edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
13:10
Speaker 5: News TALKSB twenty.
13:12
Speaker 2: Five after five on News Talk BB. So it looks
13:16
Speaker 2: like looks like police will miss the deadline of adding
13:19
Speaker 2: five hundred extra sawn officers. What we were promised should
13:23
Speaker 2: take two years will now in fact more likely according
13:26
Speaker 2: to the top Brassit scrutiny week in Parliament this week
13:29
Speaker 2: take two and a half years, So an extra six months.
13:32
Speaker 2: Will anyone really care? Probably not? Should we care? Well?
13:37
Speaker 2: When there are more bad guys out there doing bad things.
13:39
Speaker 2: We should always care about how many good guys and
13:42
Speaker 2: girls we have out there countering that. But on this
13:44
Speaker 2: particular point of missing a target by one hundred and
13:47
Speaker 2: eighty odd days, not really why. One. The target was
13:51
Speaker 2: always described as highly ambitious, and that should be a
13:54
Speaker 2: clue from a politician too. They may still make the deadline.
13:58
Speaker 2: I mean that has not been discount at this point
14:00
Speaker 2: and they are working hard to do that. Three. It
14:03
Speaker 2: was only a target because it was included in a
14:05
Speaker 2: coalition agreement with New Zealand. First, and clearly, if you
14:08
Speaker 2: follow the public comments of Mark Mitchell through the past year,
14:11
Speaker 2: even National has been skeptical about the timing of it.
14:14
Speaker 2: And most importantly, not hitting five hundred by November next
14:19
Speaker 2: year doesn't mean that we'll have zero extra cops on
14:23
Speaker 2: the beat by that date. It means we'll probably have
14:25
Speaker 2: a few hundred extra, with more coming in mid twenty
14:29
Speaker 2: twenty six. The most reassuring thing about this whole debarcle
14:33
Speaker 2: were the words from the new Commissioner, Richard Chambers yesterday,
14:36
Speaker 2: who said, we are not going to compromise. So if
14:40
Speaker 2: it takes us a little bit of time to produce
14:42
Speaker 2: the best quality officers. Then we'll take that and he
14:46
Speaker 2: is right, of course, of course he's right, because we
14:48
Speaker 2: need five hundred good cops, five hundred great cops, five
14:52
Speaker 2: hundred excellent cops, well trained and well resourced, not five
14:57
Speaker 2: hundred average cops. Brian Bridge, seven minutes after five on
15:04
Speaker 2: news Talks. He'd be great to have your company. We
15:06
Speaker 2: are going to speak to the Police Association about that,
15:08
Speaker 2: coming up just before six this morning. That's our lead. Also,
15:11
Speaker 2: we're going to go to the UK. Vincent mcavinie is
15:13
Speaker 2: our UK europe correspondent. He'll talk obviously about Macron and
15:17
Speaker 2: his speech and how the hell he's going to pick
15:19
Speaker 2: a new prime minister and what that might look like,
15:22
Speaker 2: but also Romania. And what's interesting here is they've had
15:25
Speaker 2: an election where Russia cyber attacks have been and that's
15:30
Speaker 2: no surprise, but they've been using TikTok so the Russians
15:33
Speaker 2: going through the Chinese platform to get to the Romanians.
15:36
Speaker 2: He'll break that down for us a little later on
15:38
Speaker 2: as well. Now, this is the fun story for today,
15:42
Speaker 2: this well, at least I think so. This is the
15:44
Speaker 2: nun holy hell, good lord, what is happening in a
15:48
Speaker 2: prison in Italy and none has been arrested for her
15:52
Speaker 2: links to the mafia. She was among twenty five people
15:56
Speaker 2: that were arrested over the last couple of days. She
15:58
Speaker 2: was apparently a go but between the criminal gangs on
16:02
Speaker 2: the inside and the criminal gangs on the outside, and
16:05
Speaker 2: she was caught up in a range of well, I
16:09
Speaker 2: suppose a raft of arrests over the last couple of
16:13
Speaker 2: days to do with establishment figures. There was a counselor
16:17
Speaker 2: in Georgia Maloney's party. There was a former politician also
16:21
Speaker 2: caught up in this, and they were accused of crimes
16:24
Speaker 2: like extortion, arms and drugs, traffick like the worst you
16:27
Speaker 2: could think of, money laundering, all that kind of stuff,
16:30
Speaker 2: even vote buying. Some of them were hit with anyway,
16:34
Speaker 2: and among the twenty five is none the nice, sweet
16:38
Speaker 2: old nun. And the investigators said this is the best
16:41
Speaker 2: part of the story. Investigators said her quote spiritual role
16:46
Speaker 2: ensured connection with the prisoners and allowed her to have
16:49
Speaker 2: free access to the penitentiary facilities. So she just if
16:54
Speaker 2: you're a nun, you just what you've got your own
16:57
Speaker 2: keys to the kingdom in the prison. Apparently N nine
17:03
Speaker 2: two is the number to text I would love to
17:05
Speaker 2: hear from you this morning. We're going to get to
17:08
Speaker 2: Vincent mcavnie after our reporters, which comes after News, which
17:13
Speaker 2: is next next to me. It's justice.
17:24
Speaker 5: Drama, drama, the news you need this morning and the
17:40
Speaker 5: in depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smitz
17:44
Speaker 5: City New Zealand's furniture bids and applying store news talks.

17:58
Speaker 2: is Friday, the sixth of December. I'm Ryan Bridge. Great
18:01
Speaker 2: to have you with me this morning. Coming up. Vincent mcaviny,
18:04
Speaker 2: a UK europe correspondent, is with us. Macron has to
18:07
Speaker 2: pick a new prime minister. He's due to speak in
18:09
Speaker 2: a couple of hours. Has he potentially done it already? Also,
18:13
Speaker 2: the Police Association on the targets not being met, the
18:16
Speaker 2: extra five hundred cops that we need on the beat.
18:19
Speaker 2: How they feeling about it? We'll ask them just before
18:21
Speaker 2: six this morning. Mosquitos, if you're like me, you're one
18:25
Speaker 2: of those people getting bitten a lot at the moment
18:29
Speaker 2: and it's only going to get worse. Apparently it's one
18:31
Speaker 2: of those years where there are lots of mosquitoes around
18:33
Speaker 2: and there's an article that's sort of busting all the
18:35
Speaker 2: myths around mosquitos, because there are a lot out there.
18:39
Speaker 2: The gross part and if you are eating your breakfast,
18:42
Speaker 2: maybe to stop for a second because this is quite
18:45
Speaker 2: disgusting to think about. But it describes. This is an
18:48
Speaker 2: article from the City Morning Herald describes what is happening
18:52
Speaker 2: when a mosquito is biting you. They're female mosquito seeking
18:55
Speaker 2: out a blood meal when they're ready to lay eggs.
18:59
Speaker 2: First of all, that's disgusting. Using an arsenal of six
19:04
Speaker 2: needles to saw into the skin, they inject an anti
19:07
Speaker 2: clotting saliva. They then guzzle your blood, excreek the water,
19:13
Speaker 2: harvest the protein to nourish their eggs, and off they go.
19:17
Speaker 2: Disgusting anyway, if you want to avoid it, here are
19:20
Speaker 2: some lies. Vitamin B patches don't work, Vegimite not a thing,
19:24
Speaker 2: eating garlic not a thing. Diet in general not a thing.
19:27
Speaker 2: The truth, they do love our breath, you know, we
19:31
Speaker 2: admit CO two. They do love that, and they do
19:33
Speaker 2: identify us by that. So if you could stop breathing,
19:36
Speaker 2: that would help you wouldn't get bitten by mosquitoes. Apparently,
19:40
Speaker 2: one thing that does work, according to research from Queensland,
19:43
Speaker 2: is wearing darker colors, particularly if you're out in the bush.
19:46
Speaker 2: Wear darker colors and they won't bite you as much apparently,
19:49
Speaker 2: although I don't know how much that will help you
19:51
Speaker 2: at nighttime while you're sleeping. Spray and Bridge twenty two
19:55
Speaker 2: away from the six colored procticing and needing for us
19:57
Speaker 2: this morning Colum good morning. The Uber Riders and Dunedin
20:00
Speaker 2: are being given a gold staff for etiquette morning ryany.
20:04
Speaker 2: This is one of these end of year lists.
20:06
Speaker 9: Uber the rides Here apps unwrapped its annual rider ratings
20:09
Speaker 9: to figure out which town's are naughty or nice. Once again,
20:12
Speaker 9: Daneed and Uber Riders have come out on top for
20:15
Speaker 9: the second year in a row as the best behaved
20:17
Speaker 9: in the country. Dannedan came in with an average rider
20:19
Speaker 9: rating of four point nine to three, which is pretty
20:22
Speaker 9: good apparently compared to the lowest score in Auckland of
20:26
Speaker 9: four point eight seven. Queenstown and Wellington riders are pretty
20:31
Speaker 9: bad as well. Their way down the Lisz Palmes the
20:32
Speaker 9: North second, New Plymouth was third, and naturally Ryan Uber's
20:36
Speaker 9: encouraging all passengers to be mindful of their etiquette and
20:39
Speaker 9: managed during this busy festive season, and to keep things
20:41
Speaker 9: merry and considerate.
20:43
Speaker 2: That is good advice. How's the weather, colum.
20:46
Speaker 9: One or two late afternoon showers possibly heavy for Daneda.
20:48
Speaker 9: We've still got that fresh south wester the heights to
20:51
Speaker 9: day twenty brilliant.
20:52
Speaker 2: Thank you Jamie Cunningham and christ Jamie. The crews working
20:55
Speaker 2: through the night to fight that large fire.
20:59
Speaker 10: Ye, so just eleven homes and Castle Hill Village remain
21:02
Speaker 10: occupied as fire An emergency encourages self evacuation from the
21:07
Speaker 10: blaze near Lake Pearson. It says those remaining must be
21:10
Speaker 10: ready to leave at short notice should they need to
21:13
Speaker 10: escape the five hundred and thirty five hectare fire. Three
21:16
Speaker 10: scool camps were evacuated yesterday, while a community meeting is
21:20
Speaker 10: scheduled for one pm at the Tarwater Memorial Hall in Springfield.
21:24
Speaker 10: But there's some relief for firefighters today, as Meat Service
21:27
Speaker 10: says the area is heading into a cooler day with
21:30
Speaker 10: lighter winds and isolated showers are also forecast. State Highway
21:34
Speaker 10: seventy three remains closed between Springfield and Arthur's Passed.
21:37
Speaker 2: Okay, good to hear that wind is going to come
21:39
Speaker 2: down the weather more generally for the region.
21:42
Speaker 10: Yeah, in christ Church it's fine at first with cloud
21:45
Speaker 10: increasing and a chance of an evening shower, but a
21:47
Speaker 10: high of twenty one.
21:48
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Thank you Jamie. Nice to have you on the show.
21:51
Speaker 2: Max Tolls and Wellington as he always is, Max the
21:53
Speaker 2: City to see Well, it's see you later for the
21:55
Speaker 2: City to see bridge. It's been demolished, it's been designed.
21:58
Speaker 11: Brilliant, that's right, a very recognizable Wellington landmark, a massive
22:03
Speaker 11: structure that connects the waterfront and Civic Square. But it's
22:07
Speaker 11: a quake risk and it would take eighty five million
22:10
Speaker 11: dollars to repair. Bit of a no brainer for the
22:11
Speaker 11: City Council to vote to demolish it. Coming in its
22:15
Speaker 11: place likely a rather uninspiring option of a large pedestrian crossing.
22:20
Speaker 11: A few people did try to save it at yesterday's meeting,
22:23
Speaker 11: but it was pretty consensus that.
22:24
Speaker 2: It needs to go as the City of Sea Bridge.
22:27
Speaker 11: If you've ever seen it or walked over it, or
22:29
Speaker 11: huddled in one of its alcoves out of the wind
22:31
Speaker 11: for a smoke or a chat. It's also a series
22:34
Speaker 11: of timber artworks. Narrow Footbridges. I funnily enough, picked up
22:38
Speaker 11: an old friend from the airport yesterday we passed pasted
22:41
Speaker 11: long jervis Key. He said the bridge was one of
22:43
Speaker 11: his favorite parts of Wellington, but unfortunately for him, it's
22:47
Speaker 11: just not built for this world.
22:49
Speaker 2: No well and also that's an indictment on Wellington. Hey,
22:54
Speaker 2: how's your weather in the capital today?
22:56
Speaker 7: Max?
22:57
Speaker 11: Yeah, not bad for the first day of the test.
22:59
Speaker 11: Should be vain bit of morning clouds. Southerly's bringing a
23:02
Speaker 11: little cooler temperature at seventeen the high in the city.
23:05
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Thank you, enjoy your day. And are you Are
23:07
Speaker 2: you gonna go down to the cricket I suppose you
23:09
Speaker 2: can so.
23:09
Speaker 11: Certainly, as soon as that twelve o'clock bulletin's over, I'll
23:13
Speaker 11: venture down.
23:14
Speaker 2: Good on your Max. Neva's an Oakland, Hey, Neva, he.
23:17
Speaker 12: Should just pre record that bulletin, that midday bulletin, Max,
23:20
Speaker 12: and get out early and go down there.
23:22
Speaker 2: He's got important news to report.
23:24
Speaker 12: That's right.
23:24
Speaker 2: Bridge has been demolished. Do you know how much I
23:26
Speaker 2: think it was going to cost one hundred and twenty
23:27
Speaker 2: million dollars to reinforce that bridge. It's just a footbridge.
23:32
Speaker 12: It is a footbridge. And I've never seen anyone on there.
23:34
Speaker 12: I mean, not that I go down there all the time,
23:36
Speaker 12: but every time I look up and gaze at it,
23:38
Speaker 12: it's always you.
23:39
Speaker 2: Know, it's always used on the weekends normally. But yeah,
23:42
Speaker 2: it's a very expensive for sure, replace which is why
23:44
Speaker 2: they're getting rid of it. Anyway. In Auckland, the recognition
23:47
Speaker 2: for the bravery of those during the Newland supermarket attack.
23:51
Speaker 12: Yes, now the bravery awards are round and Steve Brody
23:55
Speaker 12: he's one of those being recognized. And as you say,
23:57
Speaker 12: in that twenty twenty one new Land supermarket attack, so
24:00
Speaker 12: he and staff members they barricaded doors of a room
24:03
Speaker 12: that people were hiding, and apparently Brody pushed against the
24:06
Speaker 12: doors and this was as the offender, you know, partially
24:09
Speaker 12: opened him and swung a knife at him. So Steve
24:12
Speaker 12: Brody said, look, prior to the attack, he'd read a
24:14
Speaker 12: Bible verse about fearing no evil, and throughout the ordeal
24:17
Speaker 12: he had peace and no fear. So good on him.
24:19
Speaker 12: I mean, I often think what would I be like
24:21
Speaker 12: in a situation like that. I'd be terrible.
24:23
Speaker 2: Actually, I think you'd be quite good. Actually, I think
24:25
Speaker 2: that the sad thing about this was that happened during
24:28
Speaker 2: that was during the lockdown, wasn't it, remember, And everybody
24:31
Speaker 2: was so sort of distracted and this awful thing happened.
24:35
Speaker 12: And of course in the supermarket they were the busiest
24:37
Speaker 12: places during that time, and so there were.
24:40
Speaker 2: Good It's good that it's being that they are being
24:42
Speaker 2: recognized for their bravery. How's the weather in.
24:44
Speaker 12: Auckland, Well, the weather but a ted tad caller that
24:48
Speaker 12: it has been in the last couple of days, which
24:50
Speaker 12: is probably I think everyone will be happy about our
24:52
Speaker 12: highest twenty two as opposed to the twenty six degrees
24:54
Speaker 12: that we've had. Pretty warm now and still cloudy but
24:57
Speaker 12: no rain.
24:58
Speaker 2: Brilliant never Thank you, lo see you as always enjoy
25:01

26:11
Speaker 5: Inz International correspondence with insidn Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
26:16
Speaker 5: for New Zealand Business.
26:18
Speaker 2: A lot Heppning and France. Today, we've got Trump on
26:21
Speaker 2: the way for the opening of the Notre Dame. We've
26:24
Speaker 2: got the Eurozone worried about they did, and we've got
26:26
Speaker 2: Macron about to speak because they need a new Prime Minister.
26:29
Speaker 2: Vincent Meca and he's a UK europe correspondent, Vincent Has
26:32
Speaker 2: he picked anyone yet do we know?
26:35
Speaker 13: No, he hasn't. Emmanuel Macron has been locked away in
26:37
Speaker 13: the Elise Palace. He is going to address the French
26:41
Speaker 13: nation tonight on television to speak to them. It was
26:45
Speaker 13: months between Gabrielle Atto, the last Prime minister, and the
26:49
Speaker 13: appointment of Michelle Varnier because Macron had called that snap
26:53
Speaker 13: election which fully divided the French Parliament between his interests
26:57
Speaker 13: the left and then Marine la Penn sort of far right.
27:00
Speaker 13: Michelle Barnier was someone that Marine Napenn, the leader and
27:04
Speaker 13: sort of longtime rival of Macrol, said that she could
27:07
Speaker 13: do business with. But the whole thing has collapsed, and
27:10
Speaker 13: it's all to do with the rising French debt. They're
27:12
Speaker 13: sort of debt to GDP ratio. They now have more
27:16
Speaker 13: debt than their annual GDP, breaking several EU rules on this,
27:21
Speaker 13: and so Michelle Barnier was trying to bring in a
27:23
Speaker 13: budget which would start to address this and it was
27:26
Speaker 13: rejected by the House. So it's causing real problems for
27:29
Speaker 13: President Macroll. Questions whether or not he can survive to
27:32
Speaker 13: the end of his term in twenty twenty seven because
27:34
Speaker 13: he doesn't have a prime minister and he doesn't have
27:36
Speaker 13: a government at the moment, they can't have fresh parliamentary
27:39
Speaker 13: elections until next summer, so real questions over his position tonight.
27:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, just madness really when you think about it, when
27:46
Speaker 2: we watch the Olympics. So basically back to the States,
27:49
Speaker 2: you know, no government, no prime minister, and no budget passed.
27:52
Speaker 2: Romania has revealed it's been hit with an election in
27:55
Speaker 2: experience very quickly involves TikTok.
27:57
Speaker 13: Yeah, unsurprisingly it seems to be coming from Russia, a
28:01
Speaker 13: sort of cyber attacks and then trying to influence on
28:04
Speaker 13: TikTok that's been ahead of their presidential elections this weekend,
28:09
Speaker 13: where a far right NATO skeptic candidate who has praised
28:13
Speaker 13: Putin before and has said he will end all aid
28:16
Speaker 13: and assistance to Ukraine. So no wonder Vladimir Putin wants
28:19
Speaker 13: to maybe try and help this guy into office.
28:21
Speaker 2: This is Klin Giorgescu.
28:24
Speaker 13: He is now a running and the Romanian government and
28:28
Speaker 13: intelligence sources are saying that there has been a lot
28:31
Speaker 13: of paid support for this candidate on TikTok using the
28:34
Speaker 13: algorithm and also cyber attacks to try and benefit him
28:38
Speaker 13: as well. So it seems like the usual hybrid warfare
28:40
Speaker 13: tactics from Russia against Europe.
28:42
Speaker 2: Vincent, thank you for that. Vincent mcavini are UK and
28:45
Speaker 2: Europe correspondent. It is ten away from six.
28:48
Speaker 5: Ryan Bridge police.
28:49
Speaker 2: Officials are warning that they might not be able to
28:51
Speaker 2: make the government's election promise to train five hundred new
28:54
Speaker 2: officers by the two year deadline, which is No. Twenty
28:58
Speaker 2: seventh next year. The Police Commissioner, Richard Chambers told parliaments
29:01
Speaker 2: Justice Select Committee he's refusing to lower the quality of
29:04
Speaker 2: training just to meet the target. Chris Carhill is the
29:07
Speaker 2: Police Association Prison he's with us this morning. Chris, good morning,
29:10
Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. How do you feel that? To me,
29:13
Speaker 2: sounds like a reasonable response. I won't do this, rush
29:16
Speaker 2: this and get just any cop on the beat.
29:20
Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, at least he's been honest for a change.
29:23
Speaker 7: We've always said it's going to be an incredibly big ask.
29:25
Speaker 7: We didn't think they could do it. You need to
29:27
Speaker 7: recruit five hundred officers a year just to maintain the
29:32
Speaker 7: status quoe, just to deal with the numbers that are leading.
29:34
Speaker 7: So this was going to require seven hundred and fifty
29:37
Speaker 7: a year to get to that level. We said we
29:40
Speaker 7: couldn't do it. Police said during especially during pay round negotiations,
29:44
Speaker 7: they could. And so at least he's been honest and
29:47
Speaker 7: we certainly agree you shouldn't lower the standards.
29:49
Speaker 2: Does it matter if they miss it by six months?
29:53
Speaker 7: It does effect in that they've already moved staff into
29:57
Speaker 7: new roles such as the beat staff New Zealand, and they've
30:01
Speaker 7: had to come from other roles that now aren't getting done.
30:03
Speaker 7: So it does hurt other parts of policing. But I'd
30:06
Speaker 7: still rather wait for six months they get low standard
30:09
Speaker 7: and recruits, yeah, yeah, longer in consequences.
30:12
Speaker 2: Exactly and undermine all cops, you know what I mean.
30:16
Speaker 2: Some funding apparently has gone to that was meant to
30:19
Speaker 2: go to the recruitment has gone towards the York and
30:20
Speaker 2: Central station. Do you know anything about that?
30:24
Speaker 7: Well, not one. It shouldn't because one should be recruits.
30:27
Speaker 7: That's personnal budget. Now there should be capital expenditure. So
30:32
Speaker 7: we're disappointing that that has happened. But if they have
30:35
Speaker 7: funded some of the new roles so that they could
30:38
Speaker 7: backfl some of the others, that would be valuable, but
30:42
Speaker 7: there's a lot of issues with money in police and building,
30:46
Speaker 7: so I think it's going to take a lot more
30:48
Speaker 7: than just a few recruits to fund the building problems
30:51
Speaker 7: in New Zealand. Police.
30:53
Speaker 2: Chris, thank you very much for your time. I always appreciated.
30:55
Speaker 2: Chris can't help Police Association President on News that the government, well,
30:59
Speaker 2: they may still meet the deadline. Police they say they
31:02
Speaker 2: are going helpful leather to try and do that, but
31:05
Speaker 2: there is a probably more substantial chance they will miss
31:09
Speaker 2: it by at least six months. It is eight away
31:12
Speaker 2: from six News Talks.
31:13
Speaker 5: He b the first Word on the News of the

32:08
Speaker 2: off to drive for a couple of weeks before going
32:10
Speaker 2: on my Christmas break too. Good morning, good morning.
32:12
Speaker 14: Have you done your Spotify rap?
32:14
Speaker 2: Yes?
32:14
Speaker 3: I have?
32:15
Speaker 14: What's the how many minutes?
32:17
Speaker 2: I have to see it?
32:19
Speaker 14: Because here's the thing, I'm four and a half thousand minutes?
32:22
Speaker 14: And because I play no music, I don't play a
32:25
Speaker 14: lot of music, and all the music in our house
32:27
Speaker 14: is driven by my wife's phone. So I can't wait
32:29
Speaker 14: to find out how many minutes hers is.
32:31
Speaker 2: You're a podcast podcaster?
32:33
Speaker 14: No, I don't listen to many podcasts either, but it
32:36
Speaker 14: was interesting sort of. It told me what it's quite
32:38
Speaker 14: fun is what I'm saying. I'm not into tech and
32:40
Speaker 14: all that sort of stuff, but as far as this
32:41
Speaker 14: thing is concerned, it's quite cool.
32:44
Speaker 2: It is quite cool. Would you see what the article
32:46
Speaker 2: about Chris Luxon and an Now that's a fraud getting
32:51
Speaker 2: stick for posting there. What's a fraud, Well, it's for he.
32:55
Speaker 14: Was voted in as prime minister in this country. Luxon
32:58
Speaker 14: based on the fact he's the country music fan. That's
33:01
Speaker 14: what I'm but I thought it was entirely based on that.
33:05
Speaker 2: I thought that's why I won a cowboy way.
33:07
Speaker 14: You look at his top five, there's barely a country
33:09
Speaker 14: artist in the so you know, so you busted, aren't you,
33:12
Speaker 14: Whereas if you look at mine, it came out exactly
33:15
Speaker 14: as I would have predicted. My number one artist for
33:17
Speaker 14: the year was Luke, Colmbs, Bob Dylan was in there,
33:19
Speaker 14: Paul Simon was in there, Greg Johnson was in there.
33:22
Speaker 2: Just for you know who was in Beyonce and the
33:24
Speaker 2: Finger Boys.
33:26
