Speaker 2: of children. So what's on his Easter wish list?
0:38
Speaker 3: I had my choice, what would I like to do?
0:40
Speaker 3: Take the oil? Because it's there for the decade. There's
0:42
Speaker 3: not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the
0:45
Speaker 3: American people would like to see us come home.
0:47
Speaker 4: If we're up to me, I'd take the oil.
0:49
Speaker 2: I kept the oil.
0:50
Speaker 3: I would make plenty of money, and I'd also take
0:52
Speaker 3: care of the people of Iran much better than they've
0:55
Speaker 3: been taken care of him.
0:56
Speaker 2: Now, there's a forty five day ceasefire proposal that the
0:59
Speaker 2: Americans put up Iran has already shot it down. Staying
1:02
Speaker 2: in the US. The TV host Savannah Guthrie back on
1:05
Speaker 2: the Today Show as the search for her mother continues.
1:08
Speaker 5: Good morning, Welcome to Today on this Monday morning. We
1:11
Speaker 5: are so glad you started your week with us, and
1:14
Speaker 5: it is good to be home.
1:15
Speaker 2: Yes, it is good to have you back at home.
1:17
Speaker 3: Well, here we go, ready or not, let's do the news.
1:20
Speaker 2: So good to have you. She's been off since January.
1:22
Speaker 2: That's when her eighty four year old mum was reported missing.
1:25
Speaker 2: Still no sign of her, by the way. Finally, this morning,
1:33
Speaker 2: a bit of a scandal in the UK. PEPSI is
1:36
Speaker 2: pulling pin on sponsoring a concert in London. This is
1:40
Speaker 2: because Kanye is involved Kanya last year, if you don't remember,
1:44
Speaker 2: label day song hal Hitler and sold swastika T shirts.
1:48
Speaker 2: He's blamed as bipolar disorder for all of this.
1:50
Speaker 6: I feel sympathy for his mental health challenges and for
1:53
Speaker 6: his bipona disorder. But I think that the challenges we
1:56
Speaker 6: saw this at BAFT as well, that doesn't mean you
1:58
Speaker 6: should give people a stage to about what might be
2:00
Speaker 6: really problematic things. The people who care about these artists
2:03
Speaker 6: and should should be not giving them a problematic place
2:06
Speaker 6: to those views.
2:09
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
2:13
Speaker 1: Bridge and Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving
2:17
Speaker 1: News talks.
2:18
Speaker 2: That'd be eight after five. Hope you had a lovely
2:20
Speaker 2: long weekend, lovely Easter weekend. I was chatting to a friend.
2:23
Speaker 2: Nothing to this friend, has nothing to do with the news,
2:26
Speaker 2: nothing to do with politics, just a normal person, and
2:29
Speaker 2: was chatting to her about what's been going on with Priser, petrol,
2:33
Speaker 2: price of diesel, et cetera. And they said, it's actually
2:36
Speaker 2: been nice having the weekend with not much going on,
2:39
Speaker 2: you know, no news alerts or fewer news alerts going
2:42
Speaker 2: out about the crisis. Seventeen days of diesel in the country,
2:47
Speaker 2: even though there's a bunch more on the water that's inbound.
2:49
Speaker 2: Let's not talk about that. Let's focus on the seventeen
2:52
Speaker 2: days in the country. Still no hint by the way
2:55
Speaker 2: of confirmation that we will actually have a shortage. I mean,
2:59
Speaker 2: I know we can all look across to the straight
3:01
Speaker 2: up horn moves and see what's going on, but there
3:04
Speaker 2: is at this point, according to the government and industry,
3:08
Speaker 2: no confirmation we will actually have a shortage of fuel
3:11
Speaker 2: the crisis which the politicians and the media are calling
3:14
Speaker 2: it is still there. But when it's not getting rammed
3:18
Speaker 2: down your throat, you sort of forget it's there a
3:19
Speaker 2: little bit, don't you. Did you forget over the weekend?
3:23
Speaker 2: Was it that big of a deal for you? I mean, sure,
3:25
Speaker 2: petrol is more expensive and you can't avoid that if
3:27
Speaker 2: you have to make trips, But there are lots of
3:30
Speaker 2: trips you don't have to make, and so you just
3:31
Speaker 2: don't make them, or you walk. You know, do you
3:34
Speaker 2: need to drive all the way to the beach, can
3:37
Speaker 2: you walk? Do you need to drive to the supermarket
3:40
Speaker 2: around the corner or can you walk? Diesel and transport
3:43
Speaker 2: costa of course the big worry here, But what do
3:46
Speaker 2: you actually do about it? Hit the panic button like
3:48
Speaker 2: Albanzi did and cancel rucks. Not even the industry here
3:52
Speaker 2: in New Zealand is asking for that at this point.
3:55
Speaker 2: And there was an interesting bit in the post at
3:57
Speaker 2: the weekend which showed daily traffic flow dark. We are
4:01
Speaker 2: making more journeys now, more cars on the road in
4:05
Speaker 2: the middle of this crisis than any march over the
4:08
Speaker 2: last eight years. That's on the main routes. In other words,
4:11
Speaker 2: we adjust to the price of fuel. In fact, we
4:14
Speaker 2: drive more when it's more expensive. And I told my
4:18
Speaker 2: friend this is probably not the right advice given my
4:20
Speaker 2: line of work, but I told her to turn her
4:22
Speaker 2: phone news notifications off because mostly they're not worth reading.
4:28
Speaker 1: Bran Bridge ten.
4:29
Speaker 2: Minutes after five nineteen nine two is the number to text,
4:32
Speaker 2: Hey the ittemist two. This is fascinating. It's fascinating because
4:35
Speaker 2: of what NASA wants to do. This is obviously step
4:38
Speaker 2: one and a marathon that will be an end in
4:43
Speaker 2: US colonizing the Moon, and they want to do eventually
4:47
Speaker 2: by twenty thirty twenty thirty two. They want to do
4:49
Speaker 2: one mission every six months to the Moon and set
4:53
Speaker 2: up a base and colonize the place. But what's interesting
4:56
Speaker 2: about today is they are going to do the flyby,
4:59
Speaker 2: not stop obviously, but fly by, then swing around and
5:02
Speaker 2: head back to planet Earth. It will be the furthest
5:05
Speaker 2: at any the farthest that any astronaut has been, further
5:10
Speaker 2: than anyone went in the nineteen seventies, which was about
5:13
Speaker 2: eight forty seven kilometers beyond the Moon. So there you go.
5:17
Speaker 2: There'll be a reck wold. Should be all things going well,
5:20
Speaker 2: a record broken Today eleven minutes after five, we're back
5:24
Speaker 2: and talking graduate jobs.
5:25
Speaker 1: Next, News and Views you trust to start your day.
5:30
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for business
5:34
Speaker 1: Technology that keeps business Moving.
5:37
Speaker 2: Newstalk ZB five point thirteen on News Talks AB fascinating
5:40
Speaker 2: what the Ukrainians are doing in Russia and I was
5:43
Speaker 2: reading it at the weekend that their drones have knocked
5:46
Speaker 2: out forty percent of the Russian's oil export capacity forty
5:49
Speaker 2: percent and you consider the fact that they lean heavily
5:53
Speaker 2: on gas and oil exports for revenue in Moscow. In fact,
5:57
Speaker 2: a third Traditionally a third of the England's budget comes
6:01
Speaker 2: from oil and gas exports. They have had to now
6:05
Speaker 2: suspend or cancel all gasoline exports out of Russia because
6:10
Speaker 2: they need to prioritize that supply for their own domestic purposes.
6:14
Speaker 2: So incredible, after fifteen hundred days at war, the Ukrainians
6:18
Speaker 2: are launching these drone attacks. They had an oil terminal
6:20
Speaker 2: in the Black Sea at a port in the Black
6:22
Speaker 2: Sea yesterday. Forty percent of the Russians capacity to export
6:28
Speaker 2: oil has been dealt a deadly blow China. By the way,
6:31
Speaker 2: in India, the ones who buy the oil normally off
6:33
Speaker 2: the Russians. Fourteen after five Bryan Bridge fewer graduate jobs
6:37
Speaker 2: in Wellington. This is in the public service. So the
6:40
Speaker 2: numbers now just under two hundred jobs last year compared
6:43
Speaker 2: to nearly five hundred and the year before that. Aiden Donohue, Victoria,
6:48
Speaker 2: University of Wellington Students Association, Vice President with me this morning,
6:51
Speaker 2: Aid and good morning, good morning. What jobs are we
6:54
Speaker 2: talking about?
6:54
Speaker 7: Graduate jobs are we're talking about jobs that are offered
6:58
Speaker 7: either directly after graduating or early in careers. Your first
7:03
Speaker 7: three years sort of after leaving university.
7:05
Speaker 2: And what typically type of degree would you have done
7:08
Speaker 2: to get one of these jobs.
7:11
Speaker 7: It's a bit of a mixed bunch. So you have
7:13
Speaker 7: commerce degrees, so your Treasury financial markets authority, but you
7:17
Speaker 7: know other humanities degrees such as mb kind of Order
7:20
Speaker 7: and Ministry of Ethnic Communities, all sorts of degrees to
7:24
Speaker 7: get into the public service.
7:25
Speaker 2: And these people are now because the public service doesn't
7:28
Speaker 2: have the same number of jobs that they used to
7:30
Speaker 2: perhaps under a labor government. Whatever they are going, we're doing.
7:34
Speaker 7: What well they're going ours? Right, That's that's the simple
7:39
Speaker 7: fact about it. There's there's fuel work and there's more
7:42
Speaker 7: pay to be asked for over there, so why not,
7:44
Speaker 7: you know, move over?
7:47
Speaker 2: Do we know? I guess the question is whether these
7:49
Speaker 2: jobs were actually worth our time in the first place.
7:51
Speaker 2: Has anyone notice that they're missing?
7:55
Speaker 7: I'd say, well, they are graduates themselves have noticed. But
7:58
Speaker 7: the key thing about you know, public sector roles is
8:01
Speaker 7: you go in as a bit of a generalist, so
8:02
Speaker 7: even though you might start off in one place, you
8:05
Speaker 7: find yourself all over the shop, you know, offering help
8:09
Speaker 7: wherever it is needed.
8:10
Speaker 2: Really, is there anything stopping these graduates from becoming frontline
8:14
Speaker 2: police officers or teachers?
8:18
Speaker 7: No, really, other than sort of what you train for.
8:21
Speaker 7: But teaching is a whole nother kettle of fish around
8:24
Speaker 7: job availability after graduating as.
8:25
Speaker 2: Well as in there aren't jobs.
8:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, as in it's hard. You've got to do you know,
8:32
Speaker 7: unplaid placements to get in first, and then you've got
8:35
Speaker 7: to do your time and again, same sort of draws
8:38
Speaker 7: to move just odds to be a police or to
8:40
Speaker 7: be a couple or teacher.
8:42
Speaker 2: Are they given the fact that there aren't as many
8:44
Speaker 2: graduate jobs in Wellington? Are fewer people going into the
8:47
Speaker 2: courses that would split them out? The other end to
8:49
Speaker 2: take those jobs.
8:52
Speaker 7: We're not seeing that directly so far. We've seen a
8:56
Speaker 7: lot of people maybe go in with the mindset that
8:59
Speaker 7: they will just move anyway if it isn't the option
9:01
Speaker 7: to stay within Willington.
9:03
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning, Aiden, Thank you Aiden Donahue,
9:05
Speaker 2: who's views of vice president in Wellington. Seventeen minutes after five,
9:09
Speaker 2: nine nine two is the number to text. We'll get
9:11
Speaker 2: to Andrewi's Sport next.
9:14
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for Business Technology
9:19
Speaker 1: that keeps business moving NEWSTALKSB.
9:22
Speaker 2: News TALKSB it is nineteen minutes after five. Just a
9:25
Speaker 2: little warning if you're buying a property, especially if you're
9:27
Speaker 2: buying a property in the New Nighporer City Council owned
9:30
Speaker 2: residential development known as formerly known as Lagoon Farm, which
9:34
Speaker 2: should be a warning to you. Twenty one hundred and
9:37
Speaker 2: twenty hectare site. It's called Parkland's Estate. At the weekend
9:41
Speaker 2: there was a story about a number of people trying
9:44
Speaker 2: to buy properties there and you should always check the limb.
9:47
Speaker 2: We know that, but you should also check insurance and
9:50
Speaker 2: this would be home owner went it did exactly that
9:54
Speaker 2: with Tower and there were eight checked, eight addresses in
9:57
Speaker 2: this estate. It's a relatively new estate, and all eight
10:01
Speaker 2: of them came back and Tower said, no, we won't
10:02
Speaker 2: cover you because the risk of sea and undation. Now
10:05
Speaker 2: it's two k's from the ocean, and the council had
10:10
Speaker 2: checked the council records and checked the regional council records
10:13
Speaker 2: and decided no, no, it's all fine, it's all good.
10:15
Speaker 2: So clearly Tower is using different modeling. So I mean,
10:19
Speaker 2: just from an individual point of view, I would definitely
10:22
Speaker 2: be going before I'm buying any property onto each insurer's
10:26
Speaker 2: website and entering the address to make sure that you
10:28
Speaker 2: will get cover. Twenty after five, Now Andrews in the
10:32
Speaker 2: Sport Morning Andrew greetings, right, hey, what's going on? The cyclists?
10:36
Speaker 2: Twenty of them? They could actually get in quite serious
10:39
Speaker 2: trouble with the authorities in Belgium.
10:42
Speaker 4: Yes, at Sura of Flanders, which is won by today
10:45
Speaker 4: k Pagati or France multiple champion, probably going to go
10:49
Speaker 4: have another crack this year. But it's the small dilemma
10:52
Speaker 4: that during the race, the what do you call the
10:57
Speaker 4: warning signs came down on a railway line a train
11:00
Speaker 4: coming through and some cyclist snuck through because the competitive instincts,
11:05
Speaker 4: the juices are flowing. So yeah, there's gonna be some
11:09
Speaker 4: questions asked apparently about this story from US day, but
11:12
Speaker 4: it's going to be ongoing, so some continuing across the
11:15
Speaker 4: railery line. They were told to slow down after the
11:18
Speaker 4: submit to sort of let the peloton catch up to
11:20
Speaker 4: some degree. But I was just intrigued. I thought, if
11:23
Speaker 4: you're in that scenario, money on the line, there's a
11:26
Speaker 4: red light, do your risk getting club at it, you
11:29
Speaker 4: know whatever, the train's going at two hundred and fifty
11:32
Speaker 4: ks an hour or something. If it's a fast service,
11:35
Speaker 4: I don't know.
11:36
Speaker 2: I think it's Canzene in Japan. Fancy that. I don't know.
11:40
Speaker 2: You're on the road. You've got to obey the road rules. Yeah,
11:43
Speaker 2: I would have, that's right. So they could find themselves
11:46
Speaker 2: in a bit of trouble.
11:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Lawrence Petty does and he's yonder. He's not
11:48
Speaker 4: in trouble apparently, So that's some good consolation from that.
11:51
Speaker 2: And finished strongly too. Okay, what about the first Kiwi
11:55
Speaker 2: woman to win an NCAA basketball title in the state.
11:59
Speaker 4: Charlie's leads you walk, So this is a tremendous achievement pioneering.
12:03
Speaker 4: And speaking of pioneering, I mean Megan Campaign, who is
12:07
Speaker 4: the only New Zealand woman as far as I'm where
12:09
Speaker 4: to play in the WNBA the draft on April thirteen,
12:12
Speaker 4: and Charlie'.
12:13
Speaker 2: Said to Walker could follow suit.
12:16
Speaker 4: Of course, she played originally for Washington State and then
12:19
Speaker 4: moved over to UCLA, So she's been in the system
12:22
Speaker 4: for some time, American college system, but has really done
12:27
Speaker 4: an outstanding job there as part of that team. And
12:29
Speaker 4: good luck to her. I mean, I think that's just
12:31
Speaker 4: that's an amazing I love seeing pioneering, pioneering events from
12:35
Speaker 4: New Zealanders overseas, and she's been part of one.
12:38
Speaker 2: Very cool. Indeed, Hey, what about the Phoenix.
12:40
Speaker 4: Well which one? I mean the women going through to
12:43
Speaker 4: the listening that they're going to miss the semi fire,
12:46
Speaker 4: whether straight through I should say, to the semi finals
12:48
Speaker 4: to play the extra game. That's a fine achievement from
12:51
Speaker 4: BEF priestsman in that team, but of redemption for her,
12:54
Speaker 4: but also the men now coming into the reckoning, they're
12:56
Speaker 4: in seventh, what three wins from three and now after
13:02
Speaker 4: Shincarlo Taliada moved on as as a coach. But now
13:05
Speaker 4: they've moved into the reckoning for you know, they beginning
13:08
Speaker 4: to the playoffs with those three games ago and still
13:11
Speaker 4: a lot to go. But in that regard, Ryan, but yeah,
13:13
Speaker 4: at least they'll have some opportunity there were haven't their
13:16
Speaker 4: own hands.
13:16
Speaker 2: We haven't even talked about the Warriors yet. Who just
13:18
Speaker 2: took looked like we're coming unstuck. It's happening, Andrew.
13:24
Speaker 4: This is a classic Warriors season, is it. It doesn't
13:27
Speaker 4: sound like Andrew Wiss was that that thrilled with how
13:29
Speaker 4: they went so understandably.
13:30
Speaker 2: Unsurprisingly, Andrew Willison was bought. Thanks Andrew twenty three minutes
13:33
Speaker 2: after five, So you might be looking at the by
13:37
Speaker 2: the way, in America, the job starter on Friday was
13:39
Speaker 2: end of last week was actually quite strong, unexpectedly so.
13:43
Speaker 2: And the markets this morning, well, markets are up on
13:47
Speaker 2: Wall Street. But also what's happening with the price of oil?
13:51
Speaker 2: So yo yoing as you would expect, But why is
13:54
Speaker 2: the price of US oil trading higher than Brent the benchmark?
13:58
Speaker 2: That's the question this morning. We're t this is higher
14:00
Speaker 2: than Brent has been over the weekend. It's all about timing,
14:04
Speaker 2: I'm told about the futures contracts. So West Texas Intermediate
14:09
Speaker 2: delivers oil a month earlier. So therefore, at the moment
14:12
Speaker 2: it is worth a bit more because you pay more
14:14
Speaker 2: right now for oil that you can get sooner because
14:17
Speaker 2: of a shortage than oil you will get later. This
14:20
Speaker 2: is what happens when you're worried about supply. Twenty four
14:24
Speaker 2: minutes after five News Talks EB the Early.
14:27
Speaker 1: Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It By News Talks.
14:32
Speaker 2: IB twenty six after five on your Tuesday Morning. An
14:35
Speaker 2: interesting article in the Herald yesterday about army training at Waoudu.
14:39
Speaker 2: The troops now singing from the same song sheet. It
14:42
Speaker 2: seems as Winston and Judith in terms of how threatening
14:45
Speaker 2: the world is at the moment. Senior Army commanders quoted
14:48
Speaker 2: as saying, the pressure on our defense force is greater
14:51
Speaker 2: than at any time in recent living memory. And they're
14:55
Speaker 2: betting billions. This is the government, billions of dollars and
14:58
Speaker 2: extra funding for equipment, kits for houses on the base
15:02
Speaker 2: that aren't covered in mold. But in order for any
15:05
Speaker 2: of that to be useful, you need soldiers. You need personnel.
15:08
Speaker 2: In order to get personnel, you need people who understand
15:11
Speaker 2: the importance of the task at hand, and I just
15:14
Speaker 2: don't think enough young people, people of mind generation and younger,
15:18
Speaker 2: actually get it. Look no further than Germany, where they're
15:22
Speaker 2: protesting over a requirement for men aged forty five and
15:26
Speaker 2: younger to inform the government of their whereabouts if they
15:29
Speaker 2: leave the country for three months or more. If they
15:31
Speaker 2: go on an oe, you've got to tell the government
15:33
Speaker 2: where you're going. It's similar to a rule they had
15:35
Speaker 2: during the Cold War, and it is basically preparing for
15:39
Speaker 2: a time when they may need a return to conscription
15:42
Speaker 2: compulsory service. Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, to name a few,
15:48
Speaker 2: already do this. The Korean pop band BTS you heard
15:52
Speaker 2: them before. They've just celebrated the end of their military
15:55
Speaker 2: service with a concert and soul But overwhelmingly in the West,
15:59
Speaker 2: there is I don't know, there's a bit of ignorance,
16:04
Speaker 2: would that be the word antipathy of the threats that
16:07
Speaker 2: our leaders tell us we're facing, it's like we don't
16:10
Speaker 2: quite believe that there are any How could you teach
16:13
Speaker 2: the wellness generation, the influencer youths, the zoomers as they
16:17
Speaker 2: call them, that in order to enjoy the comforts of
16:19
Speaker 2: liberal democracy. Sometimes you might have to fight for them,
16:23
Speaker 2: you might have to make sacrifices for them. We've not
16:26
Speaker 2: been to war. We've not experienced war. We don't even
16:29
Speaker 2: want serious criminals, the criminal youths going to boot camps,
16:33
Speaker 2: let alone US. There's a general feeling, I think that
16:37
Speaker 2: wars are fought in far away lands by somebody else,
16:40
Speaker 2: when evidence is mounting that one of these wars might
16:42
Speaker 2: one day soon be fought closer to home, and the
16:45
Speaker 2: others might actually be US. Bryan Bridge Trump's talking at
16:50
Speaker 2: the White House twenty eight after five. He's talking about
16:52
Speaker 2: those two US Air Force members shot down over Iran
16:56
Speaker 2: that were rescued. Have a listen.
16:58
Speaker 3: We most powerful military anywhere in the world by far.
17:01
Speaker 3: The flight crews and warfighters aboard those aircraft took extraordinary
17:05
Speaker 3: risks to rescue their fellow service members. This first wave
17:09
Speaker 3: of search and rescue forces successfully located the pilot of
17:13
Speaker 3: the F fifteen, and he was extracted from enemy territory
17:17
Speaker 3: by an HH sixty Jolly Green two helicopter. It's amazing
17:23
Speaker 3: that when you look at the machinery, what happened, that
17:25
Speaker 3: nobody was even injured.
17:27
Speaker 2: Right, that's Trump for you. We will hit to Washington
17:30
Speaker 2: for the lightest on the ceasefire plan that the reignings
17:33
Speaker 2: have already apparently rejected. We'll hit to Washington shortly and
17:36
Speaker 2: to Australia with Donnad Demayo News Talks ITP.
17:48
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:51
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spunk for Business
17:55
Speaker 1: Technology that keeps Business Moving News TALKSIP.
18:01
Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six News Talks. There'd be one
18:04
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five aircraft US aircraft apparently involved in
18:07
Speaker 2: this rescue of the USM and over Iran. Trump speaking
18:11
Speaker 2: at the White House, Hegg said, speaking as we speak,
18:13
Speaker 2: and we'll go to Washington, d C. For the latest
18:15
Speaker 2: on that plus a ceasefire agreement that's already been shot down.
18:18
Speaker 2: We'll head to Australia with Donad tomorrow in the next
18:21
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. Also in thirty minutes. Inside the next
18:25
Speaker 2: thirty minutes, I should say we humans will go farther
18:29
Speaker 2: than any other human in history because of the Artemis
18:33
Speaker 2: two mission, four hundred kilometers from Earth. That's how far
18:36
Speaker 2: we got in the seventies. So we will go apparently
18:39
Speaker 2: these four will go farther than that. Further than that,
18:43
Speaker 2: I never know which one, and the comms will go
18:46
Speaker 2: dark because and the reason for that is quite simple.
18:49
Speaker 2: So it'll be out of contact with mission control for
18:51
Speaker 2: forty minutes when they're on the far side of the moon,
18:54
Speaker 2: because they have a deep space network to communicate with
18:57
Speaker 2: the crew to in order for that to work, they've
19:00
Speaker 2: got big Giant and tenas in California, in Spain and
19:04
Speaker 2: actually in Australia as well, and they will not have
19:07
Speaker 2: a direct line of sight because they're on the other
19:09
Speaker 2: side of the moon, so they can't communicate for forty minutes,
19:11
Speaker 2: which is apparently all a bit scary. What are they
19:13
Speaker 2: actually going to do when they're on the far side,
19:16
Speaker 2: the dark side of the moon. Apparently they'll take turns
19:19
Speaker 2: at the window just having a look at the views.
19:23
Speaker 2: They'll be able to make out definite chunks of the
19:26
Speaker 2: far side that have never been seen by human eyes before.
19:30
Speaker 2: We're told twenty two away from six Rainbridge, it's going
19:34
Speaker 2: to Cullum and to need morning Colum Right now, what's
19:37
Speaker 2: happening with the white Taki girls high in onmdu.
19:42
Speaker 8: Well Sadly it's planning on closing its hostel just due
19:46
Speaker 8: to the lack of borders there. They've got about four
19:48
Speaker 8: hundred students for school, but just fifteen borders at the moment. Ryan,
19:52
Speaker 8: that's the capacity there is for seventy five. So clearly
19:56
Speaker 8: that's not feasible. And a letter the board says it's
19:58
Speaker 8: provisionally decided to shut the hostel by year's end, citing
20:03
Speaker 8: those falling numbers over the past five years, sustainability and costs.
20:07
Speaker 8: A recent Education Review Office report found about a dozen
20:10
Speaker 8: students on site.
20:11
Speaker 2: They said the hospital the hostel.
20:13
Speaker 8: Was generally well run, with earlier compliance issues addressed. Why
20:18
Speaker 8: Tucky Girls Highs now exploring future boarding options with nearby schools.
20:22
Speaker 8: The possibility and consultation with them's underway. All right, how's
20:26
Speaker 8: the weather A bit? I like rain about through the
20:29
Speaker 8: day today here in the south mostly cloudy nor easterlyas
20:32
Speaker 8: Dunedin's high seventeenth jeers callum clear in christ its morning.
20:35
Speaker 9: Clear, good morning.
20:36
Speaker 2: So pumping air into these ponds that Bromley is going
20:40
Speaker 2: to help?
20:40
Speaker 9: Apparently Apparently so city councilors have now opted to pump
20:44
Speaker 9: more air or air ate the ponds at the Bromley
20:46
Speaker 9: wastewater treatment plant. This will cut oden ninety five percent
20:50
Speaker 9: of the time. In choosing that, counselors did formerly reject
20:54
Speaker 9: me and Film Major's ocean discharge plan, which was a
20:57
Speaker 9: pricier option, higher risk option, and would cut smells ninety
21:01
Speaker 9: nine percent of the time. The community board member out there,
21:04
Speaker 9: Jackie Simons, says locals are really pleased that wastewater won't
21:07
Speaker 9: be sent offshore, but there is still a lot of
21:10
Speaker 9: distrust towards the council about why this plan had to
21:14
Speaker 9: take so long, just when you think things are being
21:17
Speaker 9: you know, making progress here though. Environment Canterbury's now announced
21:20
Speaker 9: its stepping up enforcement on the other side of town
21:22
Speaker 9: in Hornby, in order to better respond to smell complaints
21:25
Speaker 9: there that's attributed to an industrial site. They say if
21:29
Speaker 9: conditions don't improve, stronger action, including a possible abatement notice,
21:33
Speaker 9: could follow.
21:34
Speaker 2: Clear I'm just shocked because why would you even consider
21:37
Speaker 2: dumping specs in the ocean when you could just pump
21:40
Speaker 2: air into the sewage plants in.
21:41
Speaker 9: The suit this simple plan, I know, And this is
21:44
Speaker 9: the thing, This is what people have been saying the
21:46
Speaker 9: whole time. But that's our mere Film.
21:47
Speaker 2: Major it's bizarre. How's your weather mostly cloudy?
21:51
Speaker 9: There is some patchy drizzle about it. It should turn to
21:53
Speaker 9: rain late this afternoon. Northeasterlies and hive eighteen.
21:56
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much. Let's go to Wellington
21:59
Speaker 2: now to be as Macinto with us, to be us
22:00
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning Ryan. A commercial life becoming harder
22:04
Speaker 2: in Wellington, is it? Yeah?
22:05
Speaker 10: Story on the post this morning. Wellington's shrinking role of
22:09
Speaker 10: active companies becoming more evident. So a net one five
22:13
Speaker 10: hundred and seventy eight companies have vanished from the capital
22:17
Speaker 10: region between November twenty twenty three and February this year.
22:21
Speaker 10: To put that into some perspective, every other region tracked
22:24
Speaker 10: by stats n Z showed a net increase in active companies,
22:27
Speaker 10: with more than one new company registered for everyone that
22:30
Speaker 10: was shut down. Wellington MP Eishaviral says it's a flow
22:33
Speaker 10: on from public service job losses trickling down into local businesses.
22:38
Speaker 10: I mean you already talked about earlier, the significant fewer
22:41
Speaker 10: graduate roles available. The data shows hospitality and bars most
22:46
Speaker 10: at risk, followed by construction and engineering and retail.
22:50
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather there to best? Yeah?
22:52
Speaker 10: Mostly cloudy today, a bit of rain in some northeasterly
22:55
Speaker 10: winds on the cards twenty one the high End, Wellington.
22:58
Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you Nivas and a morning neavor.
23:00
Speaker 5: Good morning.
23:01
Speaker 2: We've got an update at midday about water restrictions for
23:04
Speaker 2: central Auckland.
23:05
Speaker 5: That's right now. Look, watercre issued a boil water notice.
23:09
Speaker 5: This was yesterday last night. Now the area is affected
23:13
Speaker 5: Hillsborough Mount, Rosschool, Royal Oak and three Kinks. Why traces
23:18
Speaker 5: of E. Coal I were discovered Now the agency says, look,
23:21
Speaker 5: they did a routine sample, routine testing yesterday in that
23:24
Speaker 5: show the presence of the bacteria. So not all the
23:27
Speaker 5: streets are affected though, So that's the good news in
23:29
Speaker 5: that area. But there is a map of the impected area.
23:32
Speaker 5: You can check that out on Waterkere's website. But there's
23:35
Speaker 5: also two public water tankers that've been set up for locals.
23:38
Speaker 5: You know, if you can't boil your water now, these
23:40
Speaker 5: tankers you'll find them right now, right now, I say,
23:44
Speaker 5: at one hundred and thirteen Duke Street, Big King Reserve,
23:47
Speaker 5: Hillsborough Park, car Park and Colton Street as well.
23:49
Speaker 2: Brilliant neighbor, think you how's that weather?
23:51
Speaker 7: Rain? Here?
23:52
Speaker 5: Bey falls this morning Gale northeasterly is twenty one is
23:54
Speaker 5: the high here at Auckland.
23:56
Speaker 2: Enjoy your Tuesday, eighteen minutes away from six. Now, Grant says, line,
23:59
Speaker 2: those jobs you talked about earlier, the graduate jobs in
24:02
Speaker 2: Wellington are just rubbish, made up jobs at the expense
24:05
Speaker 2: of the taxpayer. It's hard to disagree with you, Grant,
24:08
Speaker 2: because did anyone notice that three hundred there are three
24:11
Speaker 2: hundred fewer graduate jobs unless you are a graduate. Did
24:15
Speaker 2: anyone notice the jobs were missing? And if you don't
24:17
Speaker 2: notice the jobs were missing, then what was the point
24:18
Speaker 2: of them in the first place. You would notice if
24:21
Speaker 2: we had three hundred nurses missing, wouldn't you? Ryan, You're
24:23
Speaker 2: on the right track. This is from D Morning d
24:26
Speaker 2: Father is to a greater distance. Further is to a
24:29
Speaker 2: greater extent. There we go to d'se tek tent literally
24:32
Speaker 2: teaching me English on the radio this morning, seventeen minutes
24:35
Speaker 2: away from six. We're to Australia.
24:36
Speaker 1: Next international correspondence with ends and eye Insurance. Peace of
24:41
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
24:45
Speaker 2: Good morning, it is recorded to six. Great to have
24:47
Speaker 2: your company. Let's go to Donnadmow and Australia. Donna, good morning,
24:50
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Yeah, we've got some more reassurance
24:53
Speaker 2: from the government on fuel supplies across your way.
24:56
Speaker 11: Well, as you can imagine, Australians are still very hyper focus,
25:00
Speaker 11: let's say, on fuel supplies. What is happening. So Energy
25:04
Speaker 11: Minister Chris Bowen has had to come out and yes
25:07
Speaker 11: again reassure us that we do have fuel shipments on
25:12
Speaker 11: the way to Australia and that they've been secured well
25:15
Speaker 11: into May. Now up until that announcement, we've been told
25:19
Speaker 11: fuel supplies you know, have been locked in until about
25:21
Speaker 11: the end of April, so now it stretches into May.
25:23
Speaker 11: So people are kind of breathing sigh relief, but you know,
25:28
Speaker 11: not entirely of course, because we're still hearing that a
25:31
Speaker 11: number of service stations you know, have run out of
25:34
Speaker 11: diesel and petrol, although admittedly that number did fall over
25:37
Speaker 11: the Easter weekend, so mister Bowen has also said that
25:40
Speaker 11: is encouraging. So a latest data shows about two hundred
25:44
Speaker 11: and seventy four survos across the country out of diesel, which,
25:48
Speaker 11: as you can imagine, is you know, of serious concern.
25:53
Speaker 11: But we've heard that fifty three ships carrying fuel are
25:55
Speaker 11: on the way to Australia from refineries across Asia and
25:58
Speaker 11: the US and MAO and just a few words from
26:02
Speaker 11: the PM excuse me sorry, and that well, the PM
26:06
Speaker 11: just says that Australia we need to know that the
26:10
Speaker 11: coming months may not be easy. As he put it,
26:13
Speaker 11: is that a bit of an understatement.
26:16
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Donald, appreciate your update this morning. Thank you very much, Donald,
26:20
Speaker 2: our Australia correspondent, Times thirteen minutes away from six. By
26:24
Speaker 2: the way, one to watch this week is Victor Auburn.
26:27
Speaker 2: This is Hungary's Prime minister. So he's going to the Poles.
26:30
Speaker 2: And we mentioned this last week that the he's got
26:33
Speaker 2: the poles that have come out the you know, basically
26:37
Speaker 2: they've done a survey and if you are to believe
26:40
Speaker 2: those poles, some of which are opposition poles, so you
26:42
Speaker 2: should take them with a grain of salt. But he
26:45
Speaker 2: is behind He is the guy that's like a populist
26:49
Speaker 2: is Putin, they say, trying to cozy up to Putin,
26:52
Speaker 2: trying to get more gas out of Putin and the
26:55
Speaker 2: Russians doesn't really like the Ukrainian war that's going on.
26:59
Speaker 2: He's kind of like a Trump, kind of like a populist,
27:01
Speaker 2: and they reckon that he is staging this is the
27:04
Speaker 2: opposition MPs a false flag operation because they found some
27:07
Speaker 2: explosives near a pipeline that carries GUS gas rather into
27:12
Speaker 2: Hungary from Russia. So they reckon he's trying to manipulate.
27:16
Speaker 2: He's trying to create some drama where there is no
27:19
Speaker 2: drama in order that he get reelected. So that's one
27:22
Speaker 2: to watch for this week. Twelve minutes away from Sex
27:27
Speaker 2: and it's go to Washington. So Iran's already said nat
27:30
Speaker 2: to Trump, this is on his call to open the
27:33
Speaker 2: effing straight. Wednesday, New Zealand time is the deadline. And
27:36
Speaker 2: there was talk of a ceasefire, plans for a ceasefire
27:39
Speaker 2: that Iran has already rejected. Of forty five days, Trump
27:42
Speaker 2: and Higseeth, they've been speaking at a press conference of
27:44
Speaker 2: the White House about the rescue of the us EM
27:46
Speaker 2: and at the weekend, where.
27:48
Speaker 3: We're doing unbelievably well, well at a level that nobody's
27:51
Speaker 3: ever seen before. The entire country can be taken out
27:54
Speaker 3: in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
27:57
Speaker 12: Are special operators, pilots and support crews formed with near
28:01
Speaker 12: perfection under fire, and they were lethal. Just ask any
28:07
Speaker 12: Iranian soldier who dared attempt to get anywhere near that
28:11
Speaker 12: pilot or during that mission.
28:14
Speaker 2: Kate Fisher Fature Store News in DC for US this morning. Kate,
28:18
Speaker 2: Good to have you on the program. Sounds like quite
28:21
Speaker 2: a well, a massive mission involving heaps of aircraft.
28:26
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right, hundreds of them. Donald Trump clearly very
28:31
Speaker 13: proud of his military, very impressed by this kind of undertaking,
28:37
Speaker 13: and delighted that it all happened without any further casualty
28:42
Speaker 13: on the US side. He says that twenty one aircraft
28:46
Speaker 13: came to help rescue the airman who ejected when his
28:51
Speaker 13: plane was struck down by the Iranians, and Donald Trump
28:54
Speaker 13: described how he was bleeding profusely but still managed to
28:58
Speaker 13: climb up into this ridge on the side of a
29:00
Speaker 13: mountain until he could be found by Percy Boll the
29:03
Speaker 13: CIA located him, and then to be found by the
29:06
Speaker 13: US military to be rescued.
29:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely fascinating. So what happens from here, You know,
29:12
Speaker 2: Trump's obviously made ultimatums, but he's made these ultimatums before
29:15
Speaker 2: in Iran, as clearly calling as bluff.
29:19
Speaker 13: Absolutely, he's saying, he's reiterated, double down that this new
29:23
Speaker 13: deadline that he put on social media over the weekend
29:25
Speaker 13: of Tuesday at eight pm Eastern time here in Washington,
29:30
Speaker 13: My master is not good enough to work out what
29:31
Speaker 13: time that is for you, but that that's essentially tomorrow evening,
29:36
Speaker 13: that he will be obliterating Iran if they do not
29:41
Speaker 13: reopen the strait of hor moves. As you just mentioned,
29:44
Speaker 13: Iran rejected a peace plan that was put forward by
29:46
Speaker 13: these intermediaries Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, but it did submit
29:51
Speaker 13: its own ten point plan to the Americans, and Donald
29:54
Speaker 13: Trump said that this was a significant proposal, but he
29:58
Speaker 13: said it wasn't good enough, so he acknowledged it was
30:01
Speaker 13: a significant step. So it does sound as if there
30:03
Speaker 13: is diplomacy going on in the background, but at the
30:06
Speaker 13: same time, publicly the US certainly well from both sides,
30:11
Speaker 13: the rhetoric is very aggressive. You've got Donald Trump and
30:14
Speaker 13: his members. You know, we just have Pete Heggs has
30:17
Speaker 13: just left the lectern at the White House. The head
30:20
Speaker 13: of the CIA is also spoken, the General of the
30:23
Speaker 13: Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is all the top people
30:26
Speaker 13: involved in this mission speaking at the White House kind
30:29
Speaker 13: of in this lap of glory, lap of victory over
30:32
Speaker 13: this rescue of an air and it doesn't sound like
30:35
Speaker 13: kind of dialing down of the rhetoric or the violence,
30:39
Speaker 13: but at the same time we understand diplomacy is happening.
30:44
Speaker 2: Katy, appreciate your update. Katie Fisher, UIs correspondent for US
30:47
Speaker 2: in DC. Time is nine minutes away from six, So yeah,
30:50
Speaker 2: five weeks of war. We are now forty five days
30:53
Speaker 2: this fireplan that's been rejicted. Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, they're all
30:57
Speaker 2: involved in trying to get it across the line. Open
30:59
Speaker 2: the effings straight. Well they've said f off. Basically eight
31:03
Speaker 2: to six.
31:05
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
31:08
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
31:13
Speaker 1: Keeps Business Moving, News talks'bhus.
31:15
Speaker 2: Talks HEDB six minutes away from six on your Tuesday morning.
31:18
Speaker 2: Trump's tax breaks are starting to take effect in the US,
31:21
Speaker 2: so people are actually starting to notice them, and this
31:23
Speaker 2: is because they're filing their tax returns. I was reading
31:26
Speaker 2: at the weekend about a woman named Ashley Norwood who
31:28
Speaker 2: is in South Carolina. She's thirty seven. Her husband does
31:32
Speaker 2: lots of overtime, she gets lots of tips, and the
31:34
Speaker 2: tax breaks are basically targeted exactly at them, specifically at them.
31:39
Speaker 2: And they were thinking, well, how much will we get
31:41
Speaker 2: as a refund? Ten thousand dollars refund they got. They've
31:44
Speaker 2: enough to go buy a big new mattress called a
31:47
Speaker 2: Wyoming King. They've gone out there and paid down some debt.
31:51
Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars refund was more than enough to cover
31:55
Speaker 2: their wish list of items they were hoping to get
31:57
Speaker 2: from Trump's tax breaks and tax breaks. You have to say,
32:00
Speaker 2: help you win elections, don't they Five to.
32:02
Speaker 14: Six Bread in the studio morning, Mike griefings, he's got
32:05
Speaker 14: a very good job number over the weekend too, he did,
32:08
Speaker 14: and economy continues to grow despite everybody's comment. Trip, you've
32:11
Speaker 14: been watched this, have been watching Higgseth, He says. Say
32:14
Speaker 14: whatever you want about Higgseth, but when it comes to
32:17
Speaker 14: delivering a message, yes.
32:18
Speaker 2: He's brilliant. Yeah, but you believe crims a little bit
32:22
Speaker 2: as well.
32:23
Speaker 14: Not if you're American. If you're watching that, i'd be going,
32:26
Speaker 14: that's a guy delivering a message. I mean, if I
32:28
Speaker 14: don't know, because you're on are you missed it? So anyway,
32:30
Speaker 14: the guy gets shot down, he gets his transponder and
32:33
Speaker 14: then this higg Seth telling the story. The guy gets
32:35
Speaker 14: shot down then turns the transponder on. The first message
32:38
Speaker 14: he sends is God is good. So you've just been
32:40
Speaker 14: shot down in a rah. And not only did he
32:43
Speaker 14: send the message God is good, he sent it on Friday,
32:46
Speaker 14: Easter Friday.
32:48
Speaker 2: It's all very biblical.
32:49
Speaker 14: And then he hung out in the cave on Saturday.
32:51
Speaker 14: And then we went and got him on Sunday.
32:53
Speaker 2: With one hundred and fifty five aircraft and on Easter
32:56
Speaker 2: Sunday we flew again as the sun rose over. But
