- 0:50Speaker 2: It is Monday, the ninth of September. Three Israelis have
- 0:53Speaker 2: been shot and killed at the border crossing between the
- 0:55Speaker 2: West Bank and Jordan. Israel's Prime minister has linked the
- 0:58Speaker 2: shooting to their conflict with Iran and militant groups. All
- 1:01Speaker 2: Israel's land crossings with Jordan have now been closed. Police
- 1:05Speaker 2: in the US still on the hunt for a man
- 1:07Speaker 2: who started shooting at vehicles on a highway in Kentucky.
- 1:10Speaker 3: All of a.
- 1:10Speaker 4: Sudden, we just heard this deafening loud sound and it
- 1:13Speaker 4: sounded like a like.
- 1:15Speaker 1: A rock went through my back window and our ears
- 1:18Speaker 1: were ringing.

- 1:23Speaker 2: trial potentially reaching its final week this week might spill
- 1:27Speaker 2: over into next week as well. The jury has been
- 1:28Speaker 2: hearing evidence for six weeks now, meth, money, power, and
- 1:33Speaker 2: potentially allegedly murder. One day, a criminologist, i'm sure will
- 1:38Speaker 2: pour over the public's fascination with this and ask why
- 1:41Speaker 2: we could have a verdict as early as next week.
- 1:44Speaker 2: More than four hundred Christian organizations have signed up to
- 1:47Speaker 2: an open letter opposing the government's Treaty Principles Bill, and
- 1:50Speaker 2: that's despite the government only promising to support it through
- 1:54Speaker 2: to Select Committee and no further. The group wants it gone.
- 1:56Speaker 1: If we truly want to honor the Treaty, then that's
- 1:59Speaker 1: been undemic and that's just simply not true.
- 2:02Speaker 5: There's nothing more democratic than on.
- 2:04Speaker 6: In your agreement.
- 2:06Speaker 2: David Seymour says the churches are not a moral compass,
- 2:10Speaker 2: and you'd have to say, after the release of that
- 2:12Speaker 2: faith based Abuse and Care report, he'd be onto something there,
- 2:16Speaker 2: wouldn't he. Wednesday is d Day for KRMLA Harrison Donald
- 2:19Speaker 2: Trump as they go here to head in their first
- 2:20Speaker 2: presidential bait debate on ABC. It's Trump's second, of course
- 2:24Speaker 2: for this campaign, after the Biden error or error. This
- 2:29Speaker 2: is a close race and will largely come down. I
- 2:31Speaker 2: reckon to turn out who can motivate their side to
- 2:33Speaker 2: get out and cast about it. Come November.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 2:41Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and a playing store.
- 2:44Speaker 2: News Talk Sa'd be eight minutes after five nine two
- 2:47Speaker 2: nine two is the number to text today. Big announcement
- 2:50Speaker 2: from iPhone do we still care about these? iPhone has
- 2:53Speaker 2: got their annual hardware events the iPhone sixteen if you
- 2:57Speaker 2: can believe it. They're promoting this as a glow up
- 3:00Speaker 2: for the iPhone. I'm not quite sure what it will
- 3:02Speaker 2: involve yet, but they reckon that we have pretty much
- 3:06Speaker 2: reached peak camera on the iPhone, that you get to
- 3:10Speaker 2: a certain point with a camera where human humans in
- 3:15Speaker 2: our eyes aren't capable of perceiving highest screen resolution. So
- 3:20Speaker 2: it's as good as it's going to get and as
- 3:22Speaker 2: good as it needs to get. So what else are
- 3:24Speaker 2: they going to focus on? Apparently it's all about AI,
- 3:26Speaker 2: the new one Apple Intelligence. They're calling it, not artificial intelligence,
- 3:31Speaker 2: so will What this will basically do, I'm reliably informed,
- 3:35Speaker 2: is use your personal information that you've got on your phone.
- 3:38Speaker 2: So you could say, iPhone, why is Sally in an
- 3:44Speaker 2: argument with Susan? And it will scan through your messages
- 3:47Speaker 2: and it will say, oh, well, they were fighting over
- 3:49Speaker 2: a boyfriend according to messages in your phone from twenty sixteen.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Is that you know? Is that useful information? I suppose probably?
- 3:58Speaker 2: Is it necessary?
- 4:00Speaker 7: No?
- 4:01Speaker 2: Is it worth the million dollars you will need to
- 4:03Speaker 2: spend on the new iPhone once it comes out and
- 4:06Speaker 2: is announced today? Certainly not to me. Brian Bridge ten
- 4:11Speaker 2: minutes after five. Also, interestingly, today there's a story about
- 4:15Speaker 2: wealth and how much money Elon Musk is going to
- 4:18Speaker 2: be worth. I know we spoke about Elon Musk on Friday,
- 4:21Speaker 2: but it's basically saying he will be the world's first trillionaire.
- 4:25Speaker 2: That's despite the ev market collapsing in X's band in Brazil.
- 4:29Speaker 2: He will be the world's first trillionaire. He's currently worth
- 4:32Speaker 2: just two hundred and fifty billion, dropping the bucket. How
- 4:37Speaker 2: quick can he get there? They reckon by twenty twenty
- 4:39Speaker 2: seven he'll be a trillionaire. His wealth is growing leaps
- 4:45Speaker 2: and bounds up one hundred and ten percent every year.
- 4:49Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible. And Zuckerberg loser, He's not going to
- 4:53Speaker 2: head it till twenty thirty. What's most interesting, though, is
- 4:57Speaker 2: it is the AI guys who are doing really well
- 5:01Speaker 2: and in video that AI chip making company, that guy
- 5:05Speaker 2: they reckon will be a trillionaire before Zuckerberg. And who
- 5:10Speaker 2: is he? You know, I didn't even bother saying his
- 5:13Speaker 2: name because I don't even know who he is. But
- 5:16Speaker 2: it's the AI. That's how we're making wealth into the future.
- 5:19Speaker 2: You know, the first two hundred the last two hundred years,
- 5:22Speaker 2: it was the industrial Revolution. Off we go making stuff
- 5:25Speaker 2: for the masses. Now it's just robots AI doing it
- 5:29Speaker 2: for us. Eleven after five, we're back shortly talking to
- 5:33Speaker 2: a pay who jobs and Andrew Ellison was sport will
- 5:39Speaker 2: go to.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The first word on the news of the day. Early
- 5:46Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
- 5:50Speaker 1: beds and a playing store, News Talk.
- 5:52Speaker 2: D Ter five K, star of the British Prime Minister's
- 5:55Speaker 2: doing a lot of interviews over in the UK at
- 5:57Speaker 2: the moment BBC and Sky he's cut there. We've got
- 6:00Speaker 2: one of these too, the winter fuel payment winter energy
- 6:03Speaker 2: payment we call it here in New Zealand, and he's
- 6:05Speaker 2: cutting that to well off pensioners so only the poorest
- 6:09Speaker 2: will get it. It's obviously very unpopular with some.
- 6:12Speaker 5: It's a tough decision, but I'm determined that we will
- 6:14Speaker 5: take the tough decisions.
- 6:15Speaker 2: He's got a vote this week to get it through.
- 6:18Speaker 2: How many of his MPs will rebel? That's the question
- 6:20Speaker 2: everyone is asking there. Gavin Gray is with us out
- 6:22Speaker 2: of the UK just before, just after the news at
- 6:25Speaker 2: five point thirty this morning. Bridge Rich here though Windstone
- 6:29Speaker 2: POLP International is expected to make a decision today and
- 6:31Speaker 2: whether to indefinitely close two of its mills with more
- 6:34Speaker 2: than two hundred jobs on the line. The community affected
- 6:38Speaker 2: is it to pay? Who the mayor is? Western Curtain.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He's with us this morning, Western, Good morning, Yes, good morning,
- 6:43Speaker 2: thanks for being with me. What are you hearing about
- 6:45Speaker 2: what's going to happen.
- 6:48Speaker 8: Well, my understanding and is ryan that there's been postponed
- 6:51Speaker 8: till tomorrow at three o'clock. Winston Media report yesterday, like
- 6:56Speaker 8: yesterday syndicated that they want to put it all an
- 6:59Speaker 8: extra day, So obviously something's happening in the background there
- 7:03Speaker 8: and that you know, obviously it's a big issue for
- 7:06Speaker 8: not only the community, but for their company as well.
- 7:08Speaker 8: So we'll wait with interest tomorrow.
- 7:10Speaker 2: What conversations have you had with the government. Are you
- 7:13Speaker 2: hopeful that they will be able to help in some way?
- 7:17Speaker 8: Yes, I am hopeful. I think there's been a genuine
- 7:20Speaker 8: interest in this throughout the government. I understand there are
- 7:24Speaker 8: about five ministers involved with the roundtable discussions with not
- 7:28Speaker 8: only Winston POLP, but other operators as well. And obviously
- 7:33Speaker 8: the energy companies have been heavily involved in how they
- 7:37Speaker 8: can help these sorts of businesses that are struggling at
- 7:40Speaker 8: times of the year where energy prices are spiked to
- 7:44Speaker 8: the point where they cannot function. And of course that's
- 7:47Speaker 8: sort of interest to not only the government, but the
- 7:50Speaker 8: whole country. So this is not just a local issue,
- 7:54Speaker 8: it's a nationwide issue and of course effects our overseas
- 7:57Speaker 8: trade as well.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Is realistically western. There's nothing the government can do in
- 8:02Speaker 2: the short term for these jobs, is there really?
- 8:06Speaker 8: I think so? I think so when you can consider,
- 8:08Speaker 8: of course, well, they can actually cap the electricity prices
- 8:11Speaker 8: as understand it, they can intervene, and particularly when they're
- 8:15Speaker 8: getting a nearly a billion dollars with a profit, and
- 8:19Speaker 8: half of that of course goes to the state owned enterprise,
- 8:22Speaker 8: which of courses New Zealand government. So you can't tell
- 8:26Speaker 8: me that they can take a profit to the tune
- 8:29Speaker 8: of the half a billion dollars and put that in
- 8:30Speaker 8: the pot and say, well, didn't we do well with
- 8:33Speaker 8: the energy pricing profits. It doesn't work that way.
- 8:37Speaker 2: You've got to So you want western you're calling against
- 8:40Speaker 2: the me effort of pay. You're saying you want to
- 8:42Speaker 2: cap on wholesale electricity prices for mills in your area.
- 8:47Speaker 8: Yes, I would suggest that this is not new when
- 8:50Speaker 8: you look at other industries and other situations like ty
- 8:53Speaker 8: Point for example, they were bailed out earlier and cap
- 8:58Speaker 8: the price to allow them to fund. The detail of that,
- 9:01Speaker 8: I haven't got that. But nevertheless, government have a stake
- 9:05Speaker 8: in this and the stakes are do we forego a
- 9:09Speaker 8: lot of small businesses not small actually they are investors
- 9:13Speaker 8: from overseas Malaysia for example, coming into our country investing
- 9:17Speaker 8: into this sort of product that allows us to get
- 9:20Speaker 8: export trade. And of course everyone has a stakeholding in that.
- 9:24Speaker 8: And I would suggest that the government have a president
- 9:27Speaker 8: there that they can actually cap ultrasty prices to allow
- 9:30Speaker 8: it to get over the line until such time it
- 9:33Speaker 8: smooths it out. So if we can't do that as
- 9:35Speaker 8: a New Zealand government as in New Zealand Inc. Then
- 9:38Speaker 8: something's jurassically wrong with our mechanism of actually trading long term.
- 9:44Speaker 8: So this is a long term plan. This is something
- 9:47Speaker 8: that we need to address.
- 9:48Speaker 2: All right, Weston, thank you very much for that. Updated
- 9:50Speaker 2: really appreciate That's Western Curtain. They Pahu District mayor who
- 9:53Speaker 2: says that that decision has been delayed from Winstone pop
- 9:56Speaker 2: about the more than two hundred jobs at the two
- 9:59Speaker 2: mills until tomorrow. But interested to see what you think
- 10:02Speaker 2: about that nine nine two the numbers of text capping
- 10:05Speaker 2: electricity wholesale rates for the likes of these two mills.
- 10:10Speaker 2: And yes there is a deal with t Y and
- 10:12Speaker 2: yes it does mean that, you know, they basically will
- 10:16Speaker 2: limit their output. But that's quite a different deal to
- 10:20Speaker 2: capping a wholesale interest, sorry, a wholesale electricity rate, isn't it?
- 10:25Speaker 2: Nine two nine two is the number to text eighteen
- 10:27Speaker 2: minutes after five news talks at Big.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
- 10:33Speaker 1: twenty four on early edition with Smith City new zeasand
- 10:37Speaker 1: furniture beds and a playing store News talks, it'd be
- 10:40Speaker 1: good morning.
- 10:41Speaker 2: It's five twenty. All Can Transport put out a glowing
- 10:43Speaker 2: self review on Friday, which I had to mention to you.
- 10:46Speaker 2: They put out there and your report, and then also
- 10:49Speaker 2: a press release with that saying that all Can Transport
- 10:51Speaker 2: has delivered on eighteen of their nineteen statement of intent
- 10:56Speaker 2: targets for the year. So congratulations Can Transport. Everybody is
- 10:59Speaker 2: so delighted and we couldn't agree with you more. The
- 11:03Speaker 2: one and this is the real interesting part. The one
- 11:06Speaker 2: target they didn't meet was listening and responding to Aucklander's
- 11:13Speaker 2: twenty one minutes after five, Andrew Ellison's head was for
- 11:17Speaker 2: good morning.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Greetings, Ryan. Nothing like self praise, No praise, is it?
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know?
- 11:21Speaker 2: Hey? The all but Can we start with the All
- 11:23Speaker 2: Blacks the lost, How are we feeling? And how did
- 11:26Speaker 2: you think Razor did with the press afterwards?
- 11:29Speaker 4: Oh look, I'm always yeah, welcome to Razors generally pre open, etc.
- 11:35Speaker 4: I think he's probably feeling some pressure. You know, seven
- 11:39Speaker 4: games in, he's got seven games going his opening season,
- 11:42Speaker 4: He's four wins, three losses. I think that's an aw
- 11:45Speaker 4: position to be. Although the South African team is one
- 11:48Speaker 4: of the best South African teams, I think the history
- 11:50Speaker 4: has seen and the World champions for a reason.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I had, I must have.
- 11:56Speaker 4: I was a bit nervous earlier in the week and
- 11:58Speaker 4: I thought it's skeptical because when you see them relaxing
- 12:02Speaker 4: like Russi Arrasthmus did in the build up, laughing away,
- 12:05Speaker 4: et cetera, didn't suggest that they are under a great
- 12:07Speaker 4: deal of pressure. And I think New Zealand and the
- 12:10Speaker 4: All Blacks have a lot of work to do to
- 12:13Speaker 4: earn that parody. They're are far away in the eighteen
- 12:15Speaker 4: twelve and I guess you have the penalty from McKenzie
- 12:18Speaker 4: that's not going to win the game, given they still
- 12:20Speaker 4: scored after that. South Africa, But I think, yes, it's
- 12:25Speaker 4: it's face shaping up to be a real challenge for
- 12:28Speaker 4: that New Zealand team to go from there, and if
- 12:30Speaker 4: they win them letters lay Cup, you retain that for
- 12:32Speaker 4: another year and then they go on to succeed on
- 12:35Speaker 4: the end of year tour. I think that will get
- 12:36Speaker 4: back some confidence at least for the New Zealand side,
- 12:39Speaker 4: but it'll still be, as they say, the rock under
- 12:42Speaker 4: the beach towel at the end of the season.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Absolutely the Paralympics. Overnight we've had bronze from Peter Cowen
- 12:50Speaker 2: and the two hundred meter canoe sprint we.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Have and that's wrapped the campaign for New Zealand. I
- 12:55Speaker 4: think fifty first on the medal table, not that that
- 12:56Speaker 4: really matters a great deal here, I mean star of
- 12:59Speaker 4: the show and Grimaldi with the turing meter victory, not
- 13:03Speaker 4: winning in I guess favorite event, the long jump, but
- 13:07Speaker 4: going on to deliver and getting his lit on that
- 13:09Speaker 4: gold medal for silver and four bronze as well to
- 13:12Speaker 4: go with that. I think what I take from those games,
- 13:15Speaker 4: I ryan is just some of the moments you see
- 13:17Speaker 4: people the achievement overcoming adversity. For me, I mean just
- 13:22Speaker 4: you know, a guy holding a table tennis bat in
- 13:24Speaker 4: his in his mouth and you know, and actually playing
- 13:27Speaker 4: ping pong in that regard. And you know, a seventeen
- 13:31Speaker 4: year old Indian girl with the putting the arrow into
- 13:34Speaker 4: her bow with her foot. I saw that, you know,
- 13:36Speaker 4: holding it in her mouth, and I'm thinking, man, that
- 13:39Speaker 4: is just some serious commitment. That's you know, just perseverance
- 13:44Speaker 4: and overcoming adversities. Saying that, those are the stories that
- 13:46Speaker 4: I enjoy about the Paralympic Games.
- 13:49Speaker 2: The US Men's tennis finals starts as the US Open
- 13:53Speaker 2: starts in well half an hour.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll be able to turn in after your shift,
- 13:56Speaker 4: you know, just Yarlick center of against Taylor Fritz to
- 14:00Speaker 4: complete the US Open campaign for me and for women.
- 14:03Speaker 4: But yes, Sin looking to I guess back up from
- 14:06Speaker 4: his Australian Open victory earlier on the year, Fritz into
- 14:10Speaker 4: his first Grand Slam final. But I think also for Sinner,
- 14:14Speaker 4: I mean obviously has been that pressure on him over
- 14:15Speaker 4: those drugs tests and the failure of those union of
- 14:19Speaker 4: course he got the dispensation as a result of that,
- 14:21Speaker 4: so there's been pressure on him throughout. So whether he
- 14:24Speaker 4: can deliver and then get a second Grand Slam will
- 14:26Speaker 4: wait and see is the number one in the world.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Brilliant. Thank you so much for the Andrew good to
- 14:29Speaker 2: see as always Andrew Ordison as Zidb's sport. Just gone
- 14:32Speaker 2: twenty four minutes after five the.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Early edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by
- 14:38Speaker 1: News Talks.
- 14:39Speaker 2: AV twenty six after five News Talks There'd be interesting,
- 14:43Speaker 2: op ed. This is from the Conversation Chris Gledhill, the
- 14:46Speaker 2: professor of Law at Auckland University of Technology, and op
- 14:49Speaker 2: ed about the government's new gang legislation. It argues that
- 14:53Speaker 2: the changes that are being made in some last minute
- 14:55Speaker 2: ones couldn't pinge on the Bill of Rights, and it
- 14:57Speaker 2: makes some good points. It also says that people join
- 15:01Speaker 2: gangs for various reasons. For some it is a matter
- 15:04Speaker 2: of family connections. For others, gang membership may arise from
- 15:07Speaker 2: being marginalized from society. The Royal Commission on Abuse and
- 15:11Speaker 2: Care highlighted that abuse was also a pathway into gang membership,
- 15:15Speaker 2: and in twenty eighteen a report highlighted that imprisonment feeds
- 15:19Speaker 2: gang recruitment. So you don't have a choice if you
- 15:24Speaker 2: are poor, if you have family in a gang, if
- 15:27Speaker 2: you went to jail and they recruited you in jail.
- 15:30Speaker 2: That's on society, not on you. You don't have a
- 15:33Speaker 2: choice in the matter. It's a crucial part of the
- 15:37Speaker 2: puzzle because it sets up the entire system of response
- 15:41Speaker 2: to dealing with the problem. Right, if you're not responsible
- 15:44Speaker 2: or capable of saying no to a gang life, how
- 15:47Speaker 2: can you be punished for that? Association? Is the expectation
- 15:53Speaker 2: that if you join a gang, and you've been raised
- 15:56Speaker 2: in a household that is associated with a gang, that
- 15:58Speaker 2: you are impoverished, that you don't know what is right
- 16:02Speaker 2: and what is wrong, and if so, how can you
- 16:05Speaker 2: be punished? You know? Nine two the number to text.
- 16:11Speaker 2: I interviewed a guy called Puck out of the Hawks Bay.
- 16:13Speaker 2: He was with the Mongol mob. This is years ago,
- 16:16Speaker 2: and he was done for a homicide and spent time
- 16:19Speaker 2: in prison, but then turned his life around, had a
- 16:21Speaker 2: positive role model, and he knew what he had done
- 16:25Speaker 2: was wrong. I sat down with him for a good
- 16:27Speaker 2: couple of hours, had a good chat. He knew what
- 16:30Speaker 2: he had done was wrong and was remorseful and really
- 16:34Speaker 2: sorry and wanted to apologize to the people that he
- 16:37Speaker 2: had heard. And then I found out about a year
- 16:41Speaker 2: later back in jail, he had turned his life around.
- 16:46Speaker 2: In fact, the then Prime Minister Cindra Donad use him
- 16:49Speaker 2: as an example of somebody who could turn their life
- 16:51Speaker 2: around with a positive role model, etc. Anyway, he then
- 16:54Speaker 2: did some horrendous domestic violence stuff, dealing meth in prison.
- 16:59Speaker 2: I mean, you name it. So there's a guy who
- 17:01Speaker 2: I know knows what he did was wrong, you know,
- 17:04Speaker 2: and he had bad influences growing up all of this.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Knows what he did was wrong, but did it anyway.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Twenty nine minutes after five News Talk said b Ryan Bridge,
- 17:15Speaker 2: We're going to get to Gavin Gray after the five
- 17:17Speaker 2: thirty news and we're also talking about our homicide rate
- 17:20Speaker 2: with John Munroe, criminal defense lawyer. That is just before six.
- 17:41Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
- 17:45Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and
- 17:49Speaker 1: a playing store.
- 17:50Speaker 2: News Talk said, be good morning. It is twenty four
- 18:06Speaker 2: away from six year on news Talks. It'd be great
- 18:09Speaker 2: to have you with me this Monday morning. Lots to
- 18:11Speaker 2: come Andrew Alison out of the UK. And should we
- 18:13Speaker 2: be worried about eleven homicides in the space of a month,
- 18:17Speaker 2: Probably not as the short answer, but we'll ask why. Interesting.
- 18:21Speaker 2: We'll get to also Venezuela because the opposition leader has fled,
- 18:24Speaker 2: he's gone to Spain. We'll find out why and what
- 18:27Speaker 2: exactly is going on there. I mean, the reason's pretty obvious.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Under Maduro in Venezuela not a place you want to
- 18:34Speaker 2: be if you're an opposition politician. I would have thought
- 18:37Speaker 2: the demise of them more. Why did we did we?
- 18:40Speaker 2: You know, obviously killed it, off, ate it whatever, But
- 18:45Speaker 2: really its new report out this morning says it had
- 18:49Speaker 2: little hope because they mated infrequently, reproduced infrequently, and matured
- 18:56Speaker 2: quite late in life. So any small harvesting of them
- 19:00Speaker 2: was basically the death now never stood a chance to
- 19:03Speaker 2: more never stood a chance. And they even had areas
- 19:06Speaker 2: in New Zealand like we do with conservation areas today,
- 19:09Speaker 2: large waves of the country where they weren't hunted and
- 19:13Speaker 2: poached and whatnot. Still wasn't enough for the big moa,
- 19:20Speaker 2: who obviously didn't have much of a sex drive. Was
- 19:23Speaker 2: there big problem? I think? Twenty two away from six
- 19:26Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge going to our reporters around the country. Color
- 19:29Speaker 2: Proctor is in Dunedin this morning. Calum the vegetation fire
- 19:34Speaker 2: that's been going. They're being handed back the site back
- 19:36Speaker 2: to landowners. Your morning, Ryan.
- 19:39Speaker 7: This is eight hundred hectares of Whiteitucky farmland, tussck and
- 19:43Speaker 7: scrub that burned over the weekend. It started Friday, you'll
- 19:47Speaker 7: remember before. It was contained late yesterday. In fact, it's
- 19:51Speaker 7: been monitored overnight and will be reassessed this morning. Seven crews,
- 19:54Speaker 7: six helicopters of fixed wing aircraft used at the peak
- 19:57Speaker 7: of displaze. A fine emergency. I hope to hand over
- 20:00Speaker 7: the property back around lunchtime. Incident Commander Bobby Lamonts has
- 20:04Speaker 7: compared to previous fire seasons, thus seeing some early fire starts,
- 20:09Speaker 7: which isn't surprising given the dry winter that Otago's had.
- 20:12Speaker 2: It is early, isn't it. Hey weather today speaking of
- 20:15Speaker 2: Cullum yet few.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Spots of lake rain this afternoon for Dneeda and strong
- 20:19Speaker 7: northerly today in eighteen Thank you.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Claire Sherwood is in christ just this morning. Clear farming
- 20:25Speaker 2: of the edges of nature reserves good or bad bad.
- 20:29Speaker 9: According to the study by scientists sat Monarchi Fenoua, which
- 20:32Speaker 9: is Land Care Research. Ryan, They've found that a spillover
- 20:36Speaker 9: of nutrients and water from these farming areas or intensive
- 20:40Speaker 9: agriculture is actually facilitating exotic plant invasions in our native reserves.
- 20:45Speaker 9: The authors of this study say the ongoing effects of
- 20:48Speaker 9: more intensive land use adjacent to reserves could be better
- 20:52Speaker 9: managed with the use of buffers, but that is a
- 20:54Speaker 9: problem in smaller reserves which are too small to do
- 20:57Speaker 9: that on. They also say that while this study specific
- 21:00Speaker 9: looked at the Canterbury Plains, there are lessons for the
- 21:03Speaker 9: likes of Mackenzie Basin, which has large areas of dry
- 21:06Speaker 9: land indigenous vegetation that are also at risk from irrigation.
- 21:11Speaker 2: And how's your weather today?
- 21:12Speaker 9: Clear mainly find a bit of high cloud at time.
- 21:14Speaker 9: Northerly's strong and the high will be eighteen.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Thank you, you have a good day. And Max is
- 21:19Speaker 2: in Wellington for us this morning. Max. First they came
- 21:22Speaker 2: for the toast, now they're coming for expectant mums rooms.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Not a good time for pregnant women in Wellington. The
- 21:29Speaker 6: Regional Hospital has some leaky pipes, a little unsurprising symptomatic
- 21:34Speaker 6: of the capitol. It means some birthing rooms will be
- 21:37Speaker 6: temporarily closed to replace these copper pipes. Leaving pregnant women
- 21:42Speaker 6: having to share their share rooms having their labor induced
- 21:47Speaker 6: next to one another. A good story in the Herald
- 21:49Speaker 6: this morning, which cites a letter from Health and Z
- 21:51Speaker 6: warning expectant mums in the region this will be the
- 21:54Speaker 6: case the birthing sweet and the maternity ward expected to
- 21:58Speaker 6: be disrupted for about a year, so you're going to
- 22:00Speaker 6: have trades people drilling clanging around from time to time.
- 22:04Speaker 6: Health and Z though, assuring people that these trades people
- 22:08Speaker 6: are used to working in the hospital and they will
- 22:10Speaker 6: be sensitive to the needs of patience.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Goodness me, it sounds like an absolute nightmare. Poor things
- 22:17Speaker 2: right weather today, Max?
- 22:19Speaker 6: Should we mainly fine? Strong norwesterlies fifteen the high Central.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Thank you have a good day, Neva's and Auckland, Hey, Neva,
- 22:25Speaker 2: good morning. Whenever they say birthing sweet, I imagine, you know,
- 22:29Speaker 2: luxury towels and smellies in the room and just not
- 22:33Speaker 2: like that. No, definitely not in Wellington anyway. I just
- 22:38Speaker 2: love Mex. Not a good time to be pregnant in
- 22:41Speaker 2: Wellington at the moment, but.
- 22:43Speaker 5: He says it, so yeah, it's funny.
- 22:47Speaker 2: And Auckland, though, we have the restoration of a much
- 22:50Speaker 2: loved sign is.
- 22:51Speaker 5: Do you know the sign you would have seen at Penmure.
- 22:54Speaker 5: So what's happened is that a local Auckland board now
- 22:57Speaker 5: it's brought in a consultant. This is to help with
- 22:59Speaker 5: the restoration of a much loved sign. So this is
- 23:02Speaker 5: the fifteen meter tall pan Meua sign in Auckland's east
- 23:05Speaker 5: and it was taken down. It's that teal colored never sign.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Have you not?
- 23:09Speaker 3: Oh?
- 23:10Speaker 5: Oh you have not loved? Well, look it was taken
- 23:12Speaker 5: down in twenty nineteen. That's probably maybe why you didn't
- 23:15Speaker 5: see it because it was part of road refurbishments. But
- 23:18Speaker 5: the mungakik Tamaki Local Board says that Auckland Transport gave
- 23:22Speaker 5: the board two hundred and fifty thousand. Now this was
- 23:24Speaker 5: to determine the future of the sign. Board chair Maria
- 23:28Speaker 5: Mirita says that the money has decided what to do
- 23:30Speaker 5: with the sign, but it's not going to cover the construction.
- 23:33Speaker 5: So but everybody knows that sign. It's it's very retro.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I'm looking at it's like something out of Vegas. It's
- 23:39Speaker 2: a tall fifteen meter high Hi.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Yes, I I think the last time I was in
- 23:44Speaker 5: pen mewa must have been in twenty eighteen because the sign.
- 23:47Speaker 5: I saw the sign and then we were talking about
- 23:49Speaker 5: it and they said, well, the sign came down in
- 23:50Speaker 5: twenty nineteen. I thought, well that would have been the
- 23:52Speaker 5: last time.
- 23:53Speaker 2: But where if they put the sign net?
- 23:55Speaker 5: Well, it's just kind of just yeah, they've taken it
- 23:58Speaker 5: down because it was round and roundabout. So now they've
- 24:00Speaker 5: done all the roadworks.
- 24:01Speaker 2: And it's so it's resting somewhere.
- 24:03Speaker 5: And it's resting somewhere.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Because you said they need to construct it. I mean
- 24:06Speaker 2: it's already constructed, doesn't it Just put it back up just.
- 24:08Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know, depend how many bolts need
- 24:11Speaker 5: to be put on there.
- 24:12Speaker 2: We don't want another pylon. We don't want another pylon
- 24:15Speaker 2: incident to be Thanks oh weather today, need fine.
- 24:18Speaker 5: I have seventeen here in Auckland spring.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Springing into your Monday morning here on news Talk, said
- 24:24Speaker 2: b seventeen away from six. Because I know you just
- 24:26Speaker 2: can't get enough of me, I want to tell you
- 24:28Speaker 2: about a new exciting project that has just been launched.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I'm hosting a weekly podcast called Bridge Talks Business with Milford.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Each episode, I'll be getting together with a member of
- 24:37Speaker 2: Milford's team of leading analysts, fund managers and financial experts
- 24:41Speaker 2: for a look at the week's biggest business stories. It's
- 24:44Speaker 2: a time of financial turbulence, as everyone knows at the
- 24:46Speaker 2: moment with the global economy and transition. Inflation is declining
- 24:50Speaker 2: in many countries, but volatility remains. So why is it happening,
- 24:54Speaker 2: what can be done about it? And where are things heading.
- 24:57Speaker 2: We'll look at the data, will work out what we
- 24:59Speaker 2: can learn from market history and ask the hard questions.
- 25:02Speaker 2: This will be your go to for expert insights on
- 25:04Speaker 2: the markets, business and the economy, both here and overseas.
- 25:08Speaker 2: So join me for Bridge Talks Business with Milford. You
- 25:11Speaker 2: can subscribe on iHeart or wherever you get your podcasts
- 25:14Speaker 2: so you don't miss an episode. All discussions that informational only.

- 25:23Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Scuffles and skirmishers between police and protesters in Glasgow, Gevin
- 25:29Speaker 2: Gray's how you can Europe correspondent Gevin what's going.
- 25:32Speaker 10: On following those rides that we've been reporting on following
- 25:40Speaker 10: the stabbings in Northwest England? But it would appear that
- 25:42Speaker 10: I'm afraid. In Glasgow, Scotland, more anti racism protesters meeted
- 25:48Speaker 10: and greeted more anti immigration demonstrators in what became a
- 25:52Speaker 10: pretty tense standoff trying to keep those two groups separated.
- 25:56Speaker 10: Police briefly drew their batons and shouted at the protesters
- 25:59Speaker 10: to get away, with two people arrested during the protests,
- 26:03Speaker 10: but there were pretty unpleasant scenes in and around George Square.
- 26:07Speaker 10: So what happened was two to three thousand people joined
- 26:11Speaker 10: an anti racism rally, but about three hundred and fifty
- 26:15Speaker 10: people were at a rival demonstration calling on the government
- 26:18Speaker 10: to get much tougher on those coming across illegally on
- 26:21Speaker 10: the small boats. And then a group of mass men
- 26:25Speaker 10: believe to be a sort of ultra group of Celtic
- 26:27Speaker 10: football fans, a so called Green Brigade, had to be
- 26:31Speaker 10: contained in a corner of the square as they believed
- 26:34Speaker 10: they were sort of coming up behind the anti racism group.
- 26:38Speaker 10: But at one point a man brandishing what appeared to
- 26:40Speaker 10: be two sticks, rushing towards the square was grabbed by
- 26:43Speaker 10: police and bundled into the back of a van. With
- 26:46Speaker 10: the barriers trying to keep the two groups of demonstrators
- 26:49Speaker 10: apart at one point being overwhelmed. But anyway, police I
- 26:53Speaker 10: think would be pretty keen that it passed off reasonably peacefully.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds like I remember Gonzales, the Venezuela and opposition
- 27:01Speaker 2: leader presidential candidate.
- 27:02Speaker 10: He has fled to Spain, Yes, and that is because
- 27:06Speaker 10: a Spanish air Force plane carrying him landed in an
- 27:09Speaker 10: airbase in Madrid. He's going to be granted political asylum there.
- 27:13Speaker 10: He's been hiding in Venezuela because there's been a warrant
- 27:16Speaker 10: for his arrest issued. After the opposition disputed the presidential
- 27:21Speaker 10: election result back in July that saw the incumbent Nicolas
- 27:25Speaker 10: Maduro handed a third term. There are thoughts that he,
- 27:29Speaker 10: mister Nozales, felt for his life, frankly fed for his life,
- 27:33Speaker 10: and other opposition organizers are saying that the Maduro administration
- 27:39Speaker 10: has unleashed a brutal wave of repression following the election.
- 27:44Speaker 10: Now many people are questioning the election results, which Nicholas
- 27:48Speaker 10: Maduro said that he won easily, but some are saying, look,
- 27:52Speaker 10: we'll publish the voting tallies. There's international pressure for him
- 27:56Speaker 10: to do that. They simply do not believe the scores
- 27:59Speaker 10: that have come out of these votes, and countries including
- 28:02Speaker 10: the US, the European Union, the majority of foreign governors
- 28:05Speaker 10: refusing to accept Nicholas Maduro as a winner without Caracas
- 28:10Speaker 10: releasing that voting data.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Gavin, thank you for that, Kevin Gray are UK europe
- 28:14Speaker 2: correspond interestingly, a lot of people questioning that result, of course,
- 28:18Speaker 2: when you've got a dictator like Maduro in charge. But
- 28:21Speaker 2: the Venezuelans I think will vote with their feet, more
- 28:24Speaker 2: of them. So in the past ten years, the JDP
- 28:27Speaker 2: in Venezuela has dropped eighty percent in just ten years,
- 28:31Speaker 2: and seven million people have immigrated out of there. This
- 28:34Speaker 2: is a country of just twenty eight million people. So
- 28:37Speaker 2: you'd have to say, with more problems and the opposition
- 28:39Speaker 2: leader having to flee, more of them will do the same.
- 28:43Speaker 2: And then what does that create border issues for the US.
- 28:48Speaker 2: I'm sure something that will be discussed in the debate
- 28:50Speaker 2: that is coming with Harris and Trump. On Wednesday ten
- 28:54Speaker 2: to six, Bryan Bridge, there's been eleven homicides in New
- 28:58Speaker 2: Zealand just over a month and people are free kicking
- 29:00Speaker 2: out a little bit, at least some in the media are.
- 29:02Speaker 2: I suppose the latest was on Saturday night when a
- 29:05Speaker 2: man was dropped off at Kaitaia Hospital with serious injuries,
- 29:08Speaker 2: later dying as a result. The annual police homicide report
- 29:11Speaker 2: released in June says New Zealand averages seventy two deaths
- 29:15Speaker 2: by homicide per year. John Munroe is a criminal defense lawyer.
- 29:18Speaker 2: He's with us this morning, John, Good morning, Good morning man.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Just a spike, random, nothing to worry about.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Well, it's look, it could be. Who knows that, it
- 29:29Speaker 3: does seem at the moment, especially to be reading the
- 29:32Speaker 3: media and seeing a lot of homicides taking place more
- 29:36Speaker 3: recently than normal.
- 29:39Speaker 8: Who knows what it is from.
- 29:40Speaker 3: But a good criminologist would say there's many, many reasons
- 29:43Speaker 3: for spikes and homicides.
- 29:47Speaker 2: I guess you can't you look at a trend, right,
- 29:49Speaker 2: You have to look at a trend if you're looking
- 29:51Speaker 2: at policies and things around it. In the short term, though,
- 29:55Speaker 2: for police having such a large case load, did they
- 29:58Speaker 2: have the you know, are they probably resourced to be
- 30:00Speaker 2: able to look into all of those things?
- 30:04Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure they're stretched, but but I suppose the
- 30:08Speaker 3: promising thing is that we have a very very good
- 30:10Speaker 3: police force. They're very well equipped, they're good police, they're
- 30:15Speaker 3: they're they're competent, and certainly from from practicing in myself
- 30:20Speaker 3: in other areas of the of the world, New Zealand
- 30:23Speaker 3: would have to be rating it among once one of
- 30:25Speaker 3: the better ones in the in the world in the
- 30:28Speaker 3: criminal justice system as well.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Do you think people should be worried when they see
- 30:32Speaker 2: spikes like this? I mean, people inevitably do, but the
- 30:35Speaker 2: reality is you're you're most likely to be killed by
- 30:38Speaker 2: somebody that you that you know, right, it's not randoms
- 30:41Speaker 2: going out killing randoms.
- 30:44Speaker 8: That's right.
- 30:45Speaker 3: It's it's it's very raally some sort of cross fire
- 30:48Speaker 3: or machine gun fire, pet someone getting the public getting
- 30:51Speaker 3: hit in the street. It's very very rare to see
- 30:54Speaker 3: that sort of thing happen. So, you know, generally speaking,
- 30:59Speaker 3: like you say, the publica are still safe.
- 31:02Speaker 2: You said you'd worked in the UK before. Do we
- 31:05Speaker 2: have like in terms of international comparisons, we do quite well.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Not that it's something you do well at obviously, but
- 31:11Speaker 2: we have what I should says, we have a relatively
- 31:14Speaker 2: low homicide rate here, don't we.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Yes, we do, we do, compare to I've worked in
- 31:20Speaker 3: the UK, but I haven't worked in the US. But
- 31:21Speaker 3: if you look at the US, you know that's catastrophic.
- 31:25Speaker 3: And we have a really good system of justice as well.
- 31:28Speaker 3: So we have a good system of police catching people,
- 31:30Speaker 3: and we have a really good system of justice and
- 31:32Speaker 3: dealing with people as well. So I think overall, even
- 31:37Speaker 3: though I can't put a positive spin on it, at
- 31:39Speaker 3: least we have those good systems in place.
- 31:42Speaker 2: Thanks so much for that. John John Munroe, criminal defense lawyer,
- 31:45Speaker 2: eight minutes away from six ran Bridge. So we had
- 31:48Speaker 2: seventy two homicides in a year that was last year,
- 31:51Speaker 2: and only a third of those are murders, So that's
- 31:55Speaker 2: somebody you know, intentionally going out and killing. So that's
- 31:59Speaker 2: about twenty four murders in New Zealand over a year.
- 32:03Speaker 2: And then you think about of those it was potentially
- 32:07Speaker 2: gang related or people who knew someone. Domestic violence is
- 32:10Speaker 2: sadly another terrible blight on these numbers. But you start
- 32:14Speaker 2: to whittle it down and you say, do I need
- 32:16Speaker 2: to be Do I really need to be worried about
- 32:18Speaker 2: being murdered in New Zealand? You know, by a random
- 32:21Speaker 2: on the street. Probably not News and Views you trust
- 32:25Speaker 2: to start your day is early edition with Ryan Bridge
- 32:28Speaker 2: and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
- 32:32Speaker 2: News Talk SIBB. It has just gone five minutes away
- 32:35Speaker 2: from six year old news talk, said B. Mike Costking
- 32:38Speaker 2: is here with you next. Good morning, Mike, Good morning.
- 32:40Speaker 11: We'll have the traditional post game analysis of the All Blacks.
- 32:45Speaker 11: And you're talking about bangsting about crime, whether we're do
- 32:48Speaker 11: you think we still do in this country?
- 32:50Speaker 2: Remember you'd go back.
- 32:51Speaker 11: I don't know what would you go about twenty years
- 32:53Speaker 11: and the Monday morning conversation after an All Black loss.
- 32:56Speaker 11: Far less a couple of losses, there would be a
- 32:59Speaker 11: real fish small around the office, water cooler, coffee.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Miss wouldn't there? There'll be there.
- 33:04Speaker 11: I just don't know if there is anymore.
- 33:06Speaker 2: No, A lot of people are watching I don't know
- 33:09Speaker 2: UFC or basketball or a whole bunch of other stuff,
- 33:11Speaker 2: aren't they It's doesn't.
- 33:12Speaker 11: I just wonder it hasn't not the same group that
- 33:15Speaker 11: it once did.
- 33:15Speaker 2: But I was thinking at the weekend, actually, where as
- 33:18Speaker 2: a society don't have the same grip on a lot
- 33:20Speaker 2: of things because we're all watching different.
- 33:21Speaker 11: Things now, we're so so segregated. The general conversation of
- 33:26Speaker 11: the things that we sort of all collectively did together
- 33:29Speaker 11: hasn't happened for years. I'm just I'm just not sure
- 33:32Speaker 11: how worried we are about the all blacks. But nevertheless,
- 33:34Speaker 11: if you saw the Australian so the gz use how
- 33:36Speaker 11: useless today incredible?
- 33:38Speaker 2: So we should win the bleaderslow cups. Well we will
- 33:40Speaker 2: win the blue to slow cups.
- 33:41Speaker 11: So that's something, doesn't it?
- 33:42Speaker 2: So?
- 33:42Speaker 11: Anyway, Ian Jones as whether it's on that another matters
- 33:45Speaker 11: after seven o'clock and look.
