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 Vents and a play at store US Dogs.
0:15
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning, welcome to the start of the
0:18
Speaker 2: end of your week. It's great to have your company
0:20
Speaker 2: so early this morning. Coming up on the program, our
0:21
Speaker 2: lead interviews on puberty blockers, the new rules, what do
0:24
Speaker 2: they actually mean? Vincent mcavinnie's in the UK, Netanya, Who's
0:28
Speaker 2: a wanted man? Trump's tariffs are they just a negotiating tactic.
0:33
Speaker 2: There's a US business conference in Auckland today. We'll speak
0:36
Speaker 2: to fran O'Sullivan about that, and what did the Pope
0:39
Speaker 2: say to Angela Merkle about Donald Trump. It's not a joke.
0:43
Speaker 2: She's got a new memoir out and we'll talk about
0:45
Speaker 2: that too. The agenda Ukraine, the back and forth continues,
0:51
Speaker 2: but with bigger weapons. Kiev says, Russia lobbed and intercontinental
0:54
Speaker 2: ballistic missile at it for the first time during this war.
0:58
Speaker 3: Some of the Western officials that that I've been talking
1:01
Speaker 3: to say they are not sure about this. They think
1:04
Speaker 3: it could be another sort of ballistic missile. Russia has
1:07
Speaker 3: of course, used many ballistic missiles in its war against Ukraine.
1:11
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's a Russian spokesperson. She was on Live Telly
1:15
Speaker 2: in front of a podium speaking to the media. Well,
1:18
Speaker 2: if you can call it media over in Russia anyway,
1:21
Speaker 2: she gets a phone call mid press conference telling her
1:26
Speaker 2: keep quiet, we're not talking about that launch. All caught
1:28
Speaker 2: on a hot mic that.
1:35
Speaker 1: I know.
1:40
Speaker 2: Shatyrmau. The International Criminal Court NITTNYA who he's a wanted man.
1:44
Speaker 2: They issue a warrant to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister,
1:48
Speaker 2: along with his former defense minister and the military leader
1:51
Speaker 2: of Hamas.
1:52
Speaker 4: The ICC says, the Chamber considered that there are reasonable
1:55
Speaker 4: groans to believe that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprive
2:00
Speaker 4: the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival,
2:05
Speaker 4: including food, water, medicine, and medical supplies, as well as
2:09
Speaker 4: fuel and electricity.
2:11
Speaker 2: The catch, though, is whether that will actually be enforced,
2:13
Speaker 2: and the one hundred and twenty four member countries have
2:15
Speaker 2: yet to decide whether to do that. Another blow for
2:18
Speaker 2: Justin Trudeau. While number one, you know he's polling so
2:22
Speaker 2: low he'll trip over them. Number two he's got an
2:24
Speaker 2: election next year, which he's probably going to lose. And
2:26
Speaker 2: now one of his cabinet ministers resigning because of dodgy
2:30
Speaker 2: business dealings and apparently faking his indigenous heritage, the two
2:34
Speaker 2: of which it seems are bizarrely linked. We know he.
2:38
Speaker 5: Falsely claimed he was indigenous in order to so this
2:42
Speaker 5: company could steal resources that were meant for real Indigenous people.
2:48
Speaker 2: In the US, applications for employment benefits have fallen to
2:52
Speaker 2: a seven month low in what could mark a turn
2:54
Speaker 2: around for the jobs market. We've been following that. This week,
2:56
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty thousand people file applications. That's a
2:59
Speaker 2: drop of six thousand from the previous week, in seven
3:01
Speaker 2: thousand lower than forecast.
3:03
Speaker 6: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
3:05
Speaker 6: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
3:10
Speaker 6: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying Store News Talks.
3:13
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning everyone, Love to hear from you.
3:15
Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the number to text. Almost
3:17
Speaker 2: seventy percent of cops want to be armed, and I say,
3:20
Speaker 2: who the hell are we to get in their way?
3:22
Speaker 2: The new Commission has come in and he's been more
3:25
Speaker 2: gung ho on this idea of regular arming of our
3:27
Speaker 2: police force than any of his predecessors. The fact is
3:31
Speaker 2: they're on the front line, aren't they. Last year there
3:33
Speaker 2: was a nine percent increase in tactical operations interactions. That
3:36
Speaker 2: means basically the bad ones. That's up more than seven
3:39
Speaker 2: two more than seven thousand.
3:40
Speaker 1: Now.
3:41
Speaker 2: The number of cops physically attack doubled from twenty twenty
3:43
Speaker 2: two to twenty twenty three. It's dangerous. We're not the
3:46
Speaker 2: ones going out on the streets, aren't we. We're tucked
3:49
Speaker 2: up in bed with moral superiorities saying no, we don't
3:53
Speaker 2: like the idea of you guys being armed. I prefer
3:56
Speaker 2: you pulled the gang member over. Please take your chances.
3:59
Speaker 2: It's a little bit sanctimonious from us, don't you think
4:03
Speaker 2: if they feel it would make their situations safer, then
4:07
Speaker 2: I trust them to make that call. Of course, you'll
4:11
Speaker 2: always have mistakes and chaos price The shooting clearly shouldn't
4:14
Speaker 2: have happened, and they say they're working further at training,
4:17
Speaker 2: et cetera to make that all better. But we can't
4:20
Speaker 2: sit here tacked up in our beds at night, all judgey,
4:24
Speaker 2: when we're not the ones out there and the dead
4:26
Speaker 2: of the night, facing more violence, guns and crime.
4:30
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.
4:34
Speaker 2: Just gone ten minutes after five year old news Talks.
4:36
Speaker 2: He'd be we're talking local government funding in a second.
4:38
Speaker 2: By the way, there's a banana that's gone for sale
4:41
Speaker 2: at an auction in New York. You know, the taped
4:43
Speaker 2: banana that was taped to a wall. Anyway, got ten
4:45
Speaker 2: million New Zealand dollars. Guess who bought it? Your guess.
4:49
Speaker 2: It's one of those cryptocurrency people, the weirdos. Anyway, he's
4:53
Speaker 2: apparently going to eat it as part of a I
4:55
Speaker 2: don't even know. It's already been eaten twice. It's not
4:59
Speaker 2: even this same banana anyway. Ten million dollars, it's about
5:04
Speaker 2: what you pay for six of them at countdown anyway.
5:07
Speaker 2: Eleven after five Daza.
5:10
Speaker 6: Das get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge. You for
5:22
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
5:26
Speaker 6: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store news Talk.
5:29
Speaker 2: Zai'd be thirteen minutes after five year on news talk,
5:32
Speaker 2: said be. Someone says, Ryan, if I put two bananas
5:34
Speaker 2: in a small frame, where I get twenty million dollars?
5:36
Speaker 2: This after the one banana got ten million overnight in
5:39
Speaker 2: New York. Some auction, some art auction. We're going to
5:43
Speaker 2: talk to fran O'Sullivan shortly about the tariff and the
5:46
Speaker 2: United States. There's a conference on in Auckland today, but
5:48
Speaker 2: I just wanted to quickly get to this. Jan Toinetti
5:51
Speaker 2: and Erica Stanford in the House yesterday and I was
5:53
Speaker 2: just watching the dance. How are these guys going to
5:56
Speaker 2: report on what was said in parliament? This is what
5:59
Speaker 2: Janetti said about it first.
6:01
Speaker 4: So she said stupid bitch to me, except.
6:06
Speaker 2: The word I love that she has to clarified she
6:10
Speaker 2: obviously she didn't spell it out. She said the word anyway.
6:12
Speaker 2: Bennett Collins on TV one went all in. There are
6:15
Speaker 2: often robust exchanges, but then this the issue of calling
6:18
Speaker 2: your political opponent a stupid bitch, Bryan Bridge, it shouldn't
6:23
Speaker 2: be funny, should it right? The average rates shot up
6:26
Speaker 2: fifteen percent this year. Councils are struggling to pay for infrastructure,
6:30
Speaker 2: they're struggling to pay for services, et cetera. So local
6:33
Speaker 2: government New Zealand's come up with a list of twenty
6:35
Speaker 2: five financing tools to try and help reduce the pressure
6:38
Speaker 2: on ratepayers to fund local councils. A lot of them
6:41
Speaker 2: we heard of before, you know, the GST sharing on
6:44
Speaker 2: new builds, congestion charging etc. We're joined this morning by
6:48
Speaker 2: the Hodaki district mayor, Toby Adams, who's with me. Toby,
6:52
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, ran for you very well, thank you.
6:56
Speaker 2: Obviously everyone knows the problem. I think local councils don't
6:59
Speaker 2: have enough money and you don't have enough ways of
7:03
Speaker 2: getting it. Which of these twenty five would suit a
7:06
Speaker 2: council like yours? Which would you? Because I don't think
7:08
Speaker 2: congestion charging will be up here ally would it?
7:11
Speaker 7: No, congestion charging wouldn't work. And that's why it is
7:14
Speaker 7: twenty five different ones because you know, in local government
7:17
Speaker 7: not one size fits all obviously, so you've got to
7:19
Speaker 7: have a vast range of different ones. But a GSD
7:22
Speaker 7: share would work in our council, a little bit of
7:26
Speaker 7: a share of royalties. We've got a large mine in
7:28
Speaker 7: our district, so if we had a share of royalties,
7:30
Speaker 7: they'll make a huge difference in the amount of infrastructure
7:33
Speaker 7: that we could get done with just a little bit
7:35
Speaker 7: of extra out without having to put rates up incredible amounts.
7:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to ask about the mining WORYLDTI
7:40
Speaker 2: is given your location. Is the government open to that?
7:45
Speaker 7: Lots of government say that they're open to it, but
7:47
Speaker 7: I mean this has been gone for a long time.
7:48
Speaker 7: We've never really had the conversation and they've said, you
7:51
Speaker 7: know what, well, we'll definitely do it.
7:53
Speaker 2: Can you explain to me why is it so expensive
7:57
Speaker 2: for councils to get stuff done? You know? And why
7:59
Speaker 2: do we never have enough infrastructure? Is it literally because
8:03
Speaker 2: the costs go up and you cannot charge the rate
8:06
Speaker 2: payers we don't have enough people to fund it.
8:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we've got You always have a small base,
8:12
Speaker 7: and rates is your only real tool to collect revenue.
8:15
Speaker 7: You're always mindful of not putting the rates up too
8:18
Speaker 7: high for various reasons, and a lot of it's not
8:21
Speaker 7: normally political. It's just about hearing from your community that
8:24
Speaker 7: they can't afford you. Rate rises and infrastructure just costs
8:28
Speaker 7: an absolute fortunate at the moment, like for our small council,
8:33
Speaker 7: the powerball win up six hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
8:36
Speaker 7: that's just to keep the lights going in your main
8:39
Speaker 7: streets and your pumps running. So that's an increase of
8:42
Speaker 7: sixty six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so totally over
8:45
Speaker 7: a year. It's now two million dollars a year just
8:47
Speaker 7: without and.
8:48
Speaker 2: That jumps six fifteen one year, yep.
8:51
Speaker 7: One under. So those are the kind of cost councils
8:53
Speaker 7: we're facing in this last sort of economic crisis that
8:57
Speaker 7: we're in, and that's why rates with us so much.
9:01
Speaker 2: Toby, thanks for your time, Toby Adams, the Hodaki District mayor.
9:04
Speaker 2: They've got a conference going on and local government New
9:06
Speaker 2: Zealand calling for more levers to pull to get cash
9:10
Speaker 2: in the door for councils. Seventeen after five, nine to
9:13
Speaker 2: nine two the number to text.
9:16
Speaker 6: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
9:21
Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
9:24
Speaker 6: applying store News Talk.
9:26
Speaker 2: Said b nineteen after five News Talk said, be I
9:29
Speaker 2: don't know if you've been following this, but it's getting
9:31
Speaker 2: very messy and I think Mark Mitchell needs to clean
9:33
Speaker 2: it up a little bit. This is the police checks
9:35
Speaker 2: on gun rangers. The current bill will limit the number
9:39
Speaker 2: of checks that would happen. And Nicole McKee's the one
9:41
Speaker 2: pushing this of course. Now Ginny Anderson has come out
9:43
Speaker 2: and said that Mark Mitchell was briefed that gang members, Yes,
9:49
Speaker 2: gang members were using gun ranges as target practice. I
9:53
Speaker 2: mean that doesn't sound good, does it. And surely that
9:56
Speaker 2: would be enough for you to say as policeman as
9:58
Speaker 2: to hey, we should probably not go ahead with that more,
10:01
Speaker 2: you know, the loosening of restrictions and the cops are
10:04
Speaker 2: warning you as minister not to do it as well,
10:07
Speaker 2: surely you would be speaking up. Your whole shtick is
10:10
Speaker 2: tough on gangs, and you should, you know, stamp out
10:14
Speaker 2: any potential perceptions to the contrary like a flame kill it.
10:21
Speaker 2: They may be only small, isolated examples, but I don't
10:24
Speaker 2: think it really matters. You're going to get on top
10:25
Speaker 2: of stuff like that. Just gone twenty after five, Rainbridge.
10:29
Speaker 2: The United States Business Summit is taking place in Auckland
10:31
Speaker 2: today and boys at timely Trump obviously on his way
10:34
Speaker 2: in tariff's looming and the US overtaking the Aussies as
10:38
Speaker 2: our second largest export market worth more than fourteen billion dollars.
10:42
Speaker 2: Fran O'Sullivan is the US Business Summit CoA chair. She's
10:45
Speaker 2: with us this morning. Frian, lovely to have you on
10:47
Speaker 2: the show. Oh thank you tell me what's your pack
10:51
Speaker 2: on this, on this whole tariff business. Is this a
10:53
Speaker 2: negotiating tactic from Trump? Do you think he's actually going
10:56
Speaker 2: to go ahead with them in any you know the
10:58
Speaker 2: numbers that they're talking about.
11:00
Speaker 8: Oh, there will be an element of negotiation about it.
11:03
Speaker 8: And I think you only have to look to his
11:05
Speaker 8: pickers Commerce secretary, who is a billionaire, Harold Lutnik, who
11:10
Speaker 8: was also co chair of his campaign. He has been
11:15
Speaker 8: on record talking about tariff all the way through the
11:19
Speaker 8: campaign himself. He's also you know, the boss of brokerage
11:24
Speaker 8: firm Cantor in the United States, So I mean he's
11:27
Speaker 8: a man with considerable sway. But what he has also
11:31
Speaker 8: suggested that there will be an element of negotiation around
11:34
Speaker 8: some of these and that in fact he is wanting
11:38
Speaker 8: to get obviously people back into and companies back manufacturing
11:44
Speaker 8: in the United States. But however, there won't be blanket
11:48
Speaker 8: tariffs on everything, so punitive language all the rest. But
11:53
Speaker 8: part of that is you know, perhaps the first steps
11:55
Speaker 8: in a pretty high stakes poker game.
11:57
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw his commentation in the Wall Street Journal overnight,
12:01
Speaker 2: and you know he's talking about countries will have to
12:03
Speaker 2: make concessions, you know what's correct. What sort of concessions
12:07
Speaker 2: do we make?
12:09
Speaker 8: Well, could have been a bit of pressure. Well that
12:12
Speaker 8: may or may not be a priority for the incoming administration.
12:16
Speaker 8: I mean it's not it wasn't initiated by them. I
12:19
Speaker 8: think at the moment, you know, we have ponied up
12:24
Speaker 8: and become much more in tune with the United States,
12:28
Speaker 8: particularly in the Pacific, and I think there'll be an
12:30
Speaker 8: expectation that we continue to do that. And when you
12:33
Speaker 8: look at the leverage that's been applied in the past,
12:36
Speaker 8: for instance by President Trump and Trump one point zero iteration,
12:42
Speaker 8: I mean at that time he did put considerable pressure
12:44
Speaker 8: on NATO, for instance, to step up its defense spend.
12:47
Speaker 8: I think we will come under pressure to do more
12:51
Speaker 8: of that. But that's happening anyway. The big, big areas
12:55
Speaker 8: where the government will be wanting to you know, can't
12:58
Speaker 8: spell out to themstration. And I think some of this
13:01
Speaker 8: was probably also covered in the conversation that the Prime
13:06
Speaker 8: Minister had with Donald Trump several days after he was
13:10
Speaker 8: he became president elect. So you know, there are commonalities,
13:14
Speaker 8: there are areas where we are working with the United
13:17
Speaker 8: States strategically, and he will want to keep emphasizing that,
13:21
Speaker 8: but you know it's going to be interesting. And of course,
13:25
Speaker 8: of China takes a major hit, that's a major trading
13:28
Speaker 8: partner of New Zealand, and so if it's economy takes
13:32
Speaker 8: a hit, people won't want to pay quite the same
13:36
Speaker 8: prices they're paying now for new feel and goods. So
13:39
Speaker 8: you know, the world could get quite a slap. And
13:42
Speaker 8: that is something that you're seeing, for instance at the
13:45
Speaker 8: D twenty just in previous days, much more circling around Jjenping.
13:51
Speaker 8: He's become a very powerful player as well in all
13:53
Speaker 8: of this.
13:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:54
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and still waiting to see quite how big that
13:57
Speaker 2: stimulus might be from Basing as well. Friend, fascinating and
14:01
Speaker 2: excellent analysis. Always enjoyed the summit today, Thank you very much,
14:05
Speaker 2: Thank you friend of Sullivan who is the New Zealand
14:08
Speaker 2: business sorry, the US business summit coach. Here that's on
14:11
Speaker 2: in Auckland today, just gone twenty four minutes after five.
14:14
Speaker 2: You're on news Talks EB the.
14:16
Speaker 6: Early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News
14:20
Speaker 6: Talks IV.
14:22
Speaker 2: You're on news Talks HEB. It's twenty six minutes after five.
14:25
Speaker 2: Everybody loves a bargain. This is not a warehouse ad.
14:28
Speaker 2: By the way, It's Black Friday today, Yay, the Friday
14:32
Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving in the United States, the start of the
14:35
Speaker 2: shopping season and during a cost of living crisis. People
14:38
Speaker 2: could do with a bargain, couldn't they. Apparently a lot
14:41
Speaker 2: of us are planning to buy. Fifty percent of us
14:43
Speaker 2: planning to buy something today. That compares to thirty five
14:45
Speaker 2: percent of us back in twenty twenty three. So big day.
14:48
Speaker 2: And is there a greater thrill than the feeling of
14:51
Speaker 2: getting forty or fifty or sixty percent off something? God,
14:55
Speaker 2: it feels good. The trick is not like many things
14:58
Speaker 2: in life. I suppose not to overdo it. My mum
15:01
Speaker 2: is one of these people. She would buy a lamp
15:02
Speaker 2: shade with no lamp just because it's a bargain. Oh darling,
15:05
Speaker 2: could I I'm like, what for what are you doing
15:09
Speaker 2: with that? But I reckon the thrill of a bargain
15:11
Speaker 2: is not quite what it was. A lot of stuff
15:14
Speaker 2: these days is so damn cheap. Anyway. You can get
15:17
Speaker 2: tea mood toilet paper for a cent, and you can
15:19
Speaker 2: get a shiny new outfit on sheen for less than
15:22
Speaker 2: the prices of a big mac combo. Yes, it's bad
15:25
Speaker 2: for the planet, but no one cares because it's cheap,
15:28
Speaker 2: it's fun and you need news stuff. Throw it out
15:31
Speaker 2: and get another one. That's what we say. There was
15:33
Speaker 2: a time when people had one thing for their entire life,
15:37
Speaker 2: and I can't even imagine that. You know, one coat,
15:39
Speaker 2: one good winter coat, one pair of boots. But we've
15:42
Speaker 2: come to expect so much from life where consumerous little creatures.
15:47
Speaker 2: It's like food and obesity. Too much food, we'll eat it,
15:52
Speaker 2: Will it kill us? Yes? Too many things to buy online.
15:54
Speaker 2: Let's we'll buy them. They're there. This is what we do.
15:58
Speaker 2: Knock the price down, will swoop like seagulls on fish
16:02
Speaker 2: and chips at the beach. And then there's the stuff
16:04
Speaker 2: that's not made in China that even when you do
16:06
Speaker 2: get half off, it feels like you're still been robbed anyway.
16:10
Speaker 2: The flutter of a bargain I think may not be
16:13
Speaker 2: what it once was, but that shouldn't stop you enjoying
16:16
Speaker 2: your shopping. And you're half off today it is twenty
16:19
Speaker 2: eight minutes after five.
16:21
Speaker 6: Brian Bridge.
16:22
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from people if they've been online
16:24
Speaker 2: already what bargains you're seeing because the people who would
16:27
Speaker 2: have been up at the stroke of midnight. Vincent macavinie

Speaker 2: six year on News Talk, said Vincent mcavnie out of
17:54
Speaker 2: the UK. Next Nittanya, who's a wanted man the International
17:58
Speaker 2: Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant for him. We'll ask him.
18:01
Speaker 2: Who's actually going to listen. We're going to talk to
18:03
Speaker 2: Dame Sue Bagshaw just before six. This is about the
18:06
Speaker 2: puberty block is issue. New guidelines out this morning, and
18:08
Speaker 2: I have to confess that I'm totally numpty. I'm an
18:12
Speaker 2: indiot because I just did a whole editorial. I'm talking
18:17
Speaker 2: about Black Friday, the day where there are huge sales
18:20
Speaker 2: and it's next week as everyone is texting in to
18:25
Speaker 2: the show, thank you. I appreciate that. Yes, I got
18:28
Speaker 2: it wrong. It was very, very stupid of me. I
18:31
Speaker 2: was having a do you say blonde moment? Anymore? Probably not.
18:35
Speaker 2: I was having a ditsy moment and I got my
18:38
Speaker 2: week smuddled up. Okay, So I apologize about that. The
18:41
Speaker 2: only thing half off was my brain. This morning, twenty
18:44
Speaker 2: three away from six Bridge, let's go to our more
18:48
Speaker 2: informed reporters around the country. Calum Proctor is with us
18:50
Speaker 2: in Dunedin this morning. Calum, some deep earthquakes have been
18:54
Speaker 2: discovered there.
18:56
Speaker 9: Yeah, morning, Ryan, and this is in one of the
18:58
Speaker 9: country's least so mcley active regions, Southland. Otiga University research
19:04
Speaker 9: has recorded these quakes buried up to forty kilometers around Southland,
19:08
Speaker 9: and they've uncovered evidence of hidden faults. Researchers say most
19:13
Speaker 9: of the shakes were too small to feel, but give
19:15
Speaker 9: them hints about future quakes in the area. They say
19:18
Speaker 9: findings will be incorporated into hazard models that will predict
19:21
Speaker 9: the likelihood of any major shaking in Southland. They can't
19:25
Speaker 9: determine where one will occur, but it gives them an
19:27
Speaker 9: idea of how often quakes may happen.
19:29
Speaker 2: All right, And how's your weather today?
19:31
Speaker 9: Come partly cloudy but otherwise find few showers this evening
19:35
Speaker 9: for Daned in the high sixteenth.
19:37

19:39
Speaker 2: as well, and a good editorial. I was thinking, you
19:41
Speaker 2: know you've really nailed that. Got the date wrong? What
19:44
Speaker 2: an idiot? Anyway, Leo, who's our producer? Let's just save that,
19:48
Speaker 2: put it online next Friday and no one will know
19:51
Speaker 2: why waste a good editorial. Twenty two away from six

20:22
Speaker 8: To stick.
20:22
Speaker 10: Director Allison Walls says heaps of thought has gone into
20:25
Speaker 10: choosing the final show for this important part of the
20:28
Speaker 10: Court Theatre's history. It's all about having some celebration. She
20:31
Speaker 10: wanted something that felt like a party, she says. The
20:34
Speaker 10: show set designer has paid tribute to their temporary home,
20:37
Speaker 10: the Shed, with its iconic red corrugated steel, making an appearance.
20:42

Speaker 2: Thank you max Is and Wellington max A new setback
20:52
Speaker 2: for the new Crown Observer.
20:53
Speaker 11: There, Yeah, Wellington City Council's new Crown Observer is out
20:57
Speaker 11: of action at the moment. He's come down with COVID
21:01
Speaker 11: just days.
21:01
Speaker 2: Before a cruet.
21:04
Speaker 11: Yeah, the cursed City Council Lindsay McKenzie. Appointed by the government,
21:09
Speaker 11: of course, as the council reworks its long term plan.
21:12
Speaker 11: Travel delays had already forced him to miss his first
21:15
Speaker 11: official day last week. A council spokesperson says he has
21:18
Speaker 11: been attending meetings and meeting councilors face to face in
21:22
Speaker 11: the past few days and now as they prepare to
21:24
Speaker 11: vote on Tuesday on what projects to cut what to keep,
21:29
Speaker 11: he has called COVID. He spoke to us directly. He
21:32
Speaker 11: says he is optimistic he'll be back in time for
21:36
Speaker 11: that vote, but who knows. Last month, incidentally, met Torrifino
21:39
Speaker 11: took her time off work with apparently her fourth about
21:42
Speaker 11: of COVID in just thirteen months. The city council apparently
21:45
Speaker 11: a hotbed for the virus.
21:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, what cursed is the right word. Next? How's you
21:49
Speaker 2: wear there? Yeah?
21:51
Speaker 11: Mostly fine?
21:52
Speaker 2: Today?
21:53
Speaker 11: Some cloud Southerley's sixteenth Central.
21:56
Speaker 2: Thank you neighbors and Auckland.
21:57
Speaker 12: Hey, Neiver, I am laughing because you're talking about Black Friday,
22:02
Speaker 12: and I've got to be honest, I thought it was
22:05
Speaker 12: now too good because and do you know why we're
22:07
Speaker 12: so confused with it? I think this is the problem.
22:10
Speaker 12: There have been ads running but for the last two
22:13
Speaker 12: or three weeks, and a friend of mine reading me
22:15
Speaker 12: yesterday and she goes, right, you know, I said, what
22:17
Speaker 12: a shame, it's not pay Friday.
22:19
Speaker 2: But let's go.
22:20
Speaker 12: Let's go and you know, like get some sales and
22:22
Speaker 12: get some bargains. And then when I know it's next.
22:25
Speaker 2: Friday Friday, it's a lot of people are texting him
22:28
Speaker 2: to say they thought it was tomorrow as well. Just
22:29
Speaker 2: the sheer number of emails and advertisements at we're getting.
22:32
Speaker 2: But that is no excuse.
22:34
Speaker 12: No, I think you should put that editorial towards the
22:36
Speaker 12: radio award.
22:39
Speaker 2: All right, neither the to the weather in Auckland this morning?
22:43
Speaker 12: Now are we looking well, mainly fine this morningday Black
22:47
Speaker 12: Friday Friday. It's right not We could have been lying,
22:50
Speaker 12: we could have been in a queue and it wouldn't
22:52
Speaker 12: have been raining. But however, let's wait for next Friday.
22:54
Speaker 12: Nineteenth is the high happy Friday.
22:58
Speaker 2: Someone says, Ryan, your mum now has another week to
23:00
Speaker 2: save up for a lamp. Nineteen away from six News TALKSI.
23:03
Speaker 6: Big international correspondence with insign Eye Insurance peace of mind
23:09
Speaker 6: for New Zealand business.
23:11
Speaker 2: It is sixteen away from six News TALKSIB Binyamin Nitya
23:14
Speaker 2: who has been issued well an risked warrant has been
23:18
Speaker 2: issued for him from the International Criminal Court, but he's
23:21
Speaker 2: not aligned. Vincent Mekabinnie as a UK europe correspond Vincent,
23:24
Speaker 2: what's going on here?
23:26
Speaker 1: Well?
23:27
Speaker 13: The International Criminal Court a few hours ago issued these
23:31
Speaker 13: arrest warrants for three individuals, one of them the Israeli
23:34
Speaker 13: Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu, and also the former Defence secretary
23:38
Speaker 13: You've Golant, as well as Mohammad d'ief of Hamas, although
23:43
Speaker 13: Israel says that he was killed in an air strike
23:46
Speaker 13: in July. The judges said in their statement there was
23:49
Speaker 13: reasonable grounds that the three men wore criminal responsibility for
23:53
Speaker 13: alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war
23:57
Speaker 13: between Israel and Hamas. But both Israel and Hamas have
24:01
Speaker 13: rejected these allegations.
24:04
Speaker 2: All right, and what are these claims that Russia has
24:07
Speaker 2: used an intercontinental ballistic missile against Ukraine? Is this being confirmed?
24:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, there is some confusion around this claim. The Ukrainian
24:17
Speaker 13: President Zelenski has come forward and said that the new
24:21
Speaker 13: rocket was used and says that their intelligence says to
24:24
Speaker 13: have the characteristics of an ICBM, So that is an
24:27
Speaker 13: inter continental ballistic missile, the kind of missile that you
24:30
Speaker 13: would attach a nuclear warhead to and fire it thousands
24:34
Speaker 13: of kilometers. That would be a new move by Russia.
24:37
Speaker 13: There's no claim that there was a nuclear warhead attached,
24:41
Speaker 13: but the Ukrainian Foreign Mindustry is sharing the details and
24:44
Speaker 13: intelligence they've got on the missile with partners so that
24:47
Speaker 13: they can ascertain what exactly it was. The US is
24:51
Speaker 13: disputing this, Russia is saying nothing at the moment. It comes,
24:54
Speaker 13: of course, with an escalation this week, the attack of
24:58
Speaker 13: missiles being provided by the US being given approval for
25:01
Speaker 13: them to fire into Russian territory. These long range missiles
25:05
Speaker 13: and the UK's storm shadowy missiles similarly also now being
25:08
Speaker 13: allowed by the British Prime Minister Sikirstama to be allowed
25:13
Speaker 13: to be shot further into Russia. We know that Russia
25:16
Speaker 13: updated its nuclear doctrine earlier in the week. That was
25:19
Speaker 13: seen as a bit of saber rattling. But if they
25:21
Speaker 13: are using ICBMs, perhaps it is a sign that things
25:25
Speaker 13: are getting even more tense in the region.
25:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your statesmans, And is it that things are
25:29
Speaker 2: getting more tints in the region, which I mean obviously
25:31
Speaker 2: they are, But is it just posturing a head of
25:35
Speaker 2: Trump coming in and potential deal making. What's your scenes?
25:40
Speaker 13: It does feel like posturing. But at all times, you know,
25:43
Speaker 13: this could be this kind of situation could go incredibly wrong.
25:48
Speaker 13: I mean that there are you know, new Ukraine. We
25:52
Speaker 13: know it has you know, the like social novel, it
25:53
Speaker 13: has other nuclear plants as well. If they're using these
25:56
Speaker 13: kinds of weapons, if they go off site because you've
25:58
Speaker 13: shot them down or something, it could cause damage to
26:01
Speaker 13: infrastructure like that. I mean, it is an alarming because
26:04
Speaker 13: one mistake one this calculation. If they do fire an
26:07
Speaker 13: actual ICBM, how has anyone to know if they track
26:10
Speaker 13: it on a satellite and it's moving, whether or not
26:13
Speaker 13: it does have a nuclear warhead attached to it or not.
26:15
Speaker 13: So it does feel like quite a tense moment.
26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Vincent, thank you very much for that.
26:20
Speaker 2: Vincent mcavinie, who's our UK europe correspondent, just gone thirteen
26:23
Speaker 2: minutes away from six rain Bridge. Let's talk about this morning,
26:28
Speaker 2: including this report from some economists about the state of
26:32
Speaker 2: our economy and the government's intervention and what they need
26:34
Speaker 2: to do. Blah blah, blah blah. You would have seen
26:36
Speaker 2: it probably on our inz yesterday. It was put around
26:39
Speaker 2: the Herald as well. We'll get to that in a second.
26:41
Speaker 2: Those terrible cases of poisonings alcohol poisonings over in laos
26:47
Speaker 2: So at least four people have now died. A further
26:49
Speaker 2: eleven tourists are in hospital. It's pretty bad and it
26:53
Speaker 2: all happened at the hostel and the hostel manages as well.
26:57
Speaker 2: There were one hundred people having these so called vodka shots,
27:01
Speaker 2: one hundred of them and only a few of them
27:03
Speaker 2: got sick. And he said he bought the alcohol from
27:07
Speaker 2: a certified distributor and said he didn't do anything to it,
27:11
Speaker 2: so he didn't tamper with it, which I guess you
27:13
Speaker 2: would say. But though investigating that one at the moment.
27:17
Speaker 2: And Angela Merkele has a memoir coming out and in
27:20
Speaker 2: it she reveals the advice that the Pope gave her
27:23
Speaker 2: to deal with Donald Trump, which sounds interesting. You've got
27:27
Speaker 2: Angela Merkele, you've got the Pope, and you've got Trump.
27:31
Speaker 2: Apparently his advice was when dealing with Trump, bend, bend, bend,
27:36
Speaker 2: but to make sure it doesn't break, whatever that means. Anyway,
27:40
Speaker 2: She said it was a good chat that she had,
27:43
Speaker 2: but that it was very, very difficult dealing with Donald Trump.
27:46
Speaker 2: I'll be interested to read that men, while it's coming
27:48
Speaker 2: out soon. Apparently eleven minutes away from six on news
27:52
Speaker 2: Talk said b we're going to talk bitcoin and one
27:55
Speaker 2: man's quest to get it out of the ground in
27:57
Speaker 2: the UK. It's coming up in just a few minutes.
28:00
Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
28:04
Speaker 6: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
28:08
Speaker 2: News talks. That'd be nine to six news talks. They'd
28:10
Speaker 2: be great to have your company this morning. You might
28:12
Speaker 2: have seen this new advice come out from the Ministry
28:15
Speaker 2: of Health finally releasing its position on the use of
28:18
Speaker 2: puberty blockers for kids in New Zealand. The cash report
28:21
Speaker 2: that came out from the UK was very controversial and
28:24
Speaker 2: said that the research was not there, it wasn't sufficient,
28:27
Speaker 2: et cetera. So our brief, this is our Ministry of
28:30
Speaker 2: Health brief says it's found significant limitations in the quality
28:35
Speaker 2: of evidence for either the benefits or risks or lack thereof,
28:40
Speaker 2: of the use of puberty blockers. This means there is
28:43
Speaker 2: insufficient basis to say that puberty blockers are safe, or
28:47
Speaker 2: that they are reversible or not so. In other words,
28:50
Speaker 2: we just really have no idea that's for its use
28:53
Speaker 2: as an intervention for gender dysphoria and adolescents. So the
28:57
Speaker 2: upside of this is basically we are no wiser than
29:01
Speaker 2: we were before the report was written, and they need
29:03
Speaker 2: more research done. It's just gone eight minutes away from
29:06
Speaker 2: six Bryan Bridge, Right, does everybody know who Carpenter is?
29:11
Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter. She's a New ash musicians of their song.
29:21
Speaker 2: So she went to film a music video for one
29:24
Speaker 2: of her new songs and this was in a church,
29:27
Speaker 2: of all places, and it was quite provocative. This is
29:30
Speaker 2: in New York. And the New York priests who let
29:32
Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter film the provocative scenes for her music video
29:36
Speaker 2: inside his church, Well, he's been sacked for obvious reasons.
29:40
Speaker 2: It's a church. Apparently it showed a crucifix with profanity
29:44
Speaker 2: printed on it. And also she was dancing on the
29:46
Speaker 2: altar in a short black dress. Does it sounds very
29:49
Speaker 2: doesn't sound very church like? Very congregation friendly? Does it
29:52
Speaker 2: a seven minutes away from six News Talks?
29:54
Speaker 6: He'd beg, Bryan Bridge.
29:56
Speaker 2: Mike is here with us. He is up next, Mike,
29:58
Speaker 2: Good morning to you. Good morning Ryan.
30:02
Speaker 5: How are we feeling this today? But I'm feeling pretty
30:03
Speaker 5: good actually as life wild turn out. Yeah, I'm looking
30:06
Speaker 5: outsides of clear blue sky. Weekend is calling. I know
30:09
Speaker 5: how much you like the weekend, so I just want
30:10
Speaker 5: to build you up to it.
30:11
Speaker 2: Not not Black Friday, though, as I have claimed earlier
30:14
Speaker 2: on saying.
30:15
Speaker 5: You made a bit of a dick of yourself.
30:16
Speaker 2: What happened to well, I don't know what happened actually, So.
30:19
Speaker 5: You claimed it was Blacky.
30:20
Speaker 2: I said it was black Friday. I did what I
30:22
Speaker 2: thought was a really good editorial, Mike. And you know
30:25
Speaker 2: the feeling when you do a good one.
30:26
Speaker 5: A lot of people talk about your editorialism, how good
30:28
Speaker 5: they are. Generally there's a lot of buzz around the usual.
30:30
Speaker 2: It's bad as much buzz as yours. I'd say, no,
30:33
Speaker 2: I got more bus Tell me, tell me do you
30:36
Speaker 2: even shop? Whether shop? No shop period? No, you don't
30:41
Speaker 2: buy your own clothes. You don't buy your own once.
30:44
Speaker 5: No, here's here's the thing. So what happens once once
30:46
Speaker 5: a year. I go out to see my friend and
30:49
Speaker 5: I say, I need some of those those those and
30:52
Speaker 5: then I'm about to do it actually be part of
30:55
Speaker 5: the consultant, like a consult, shopping consult And I go,
30:57
Speaker 5: I need some of those, get me some of those,
30:59
Speaker 5: and then they arrivee and that that's my shopping for
31:01
Speaker 5: the The only thing I buy on a regular basis
31:04
Speaker 5: is petrol. Oh yeah, if you look at my if
31:07
Speaker 5: you look at my credit card, it's got about two
31:09
Speaker 5: statements per month.
31:10
Speaker 2: What about wine or oh you know restaurants or no.
31:14
Speaker 5: We don't get out, don't you know? I don't eat
31:17
Speaker 5: it and I buy a little bit of wine involved.
31:19
Speaker 2: So you basically you wouldn't know. You wouldn't care if
31:22
Speaker 2: there's a sale. One doesn't because I love that feeling
31:27
Speaker 2: of sale when you get when you can say I've
31:30
Speaker 2: got seventy percent of something.
31:31
Speaker 5: When was the last time you got seventy percent? See
31:35
Speaker 5: that was about to say one of the problems that
31:37
Speaker 5: overseas is a big sale thing in New Zealand, it's
31:40
Speaker 5: you saved gst.
31:41
Speaker 2: But have you heard of a place called Brisco's? Probably not.
31:44
Speaker 5: I don't play your elitist game with me.
31:48
Speaker 2: I have I have been.
31:50
Speaker 5: I have been to Brisco's and how long it was
31:57
Speaker 5: like the early nineties. I went to rest Goes and
32:00
Speaker 5: I saw some stuff there that was on sale. Right,
32:03
Speaker 5: But to be fair, Risk Goes, I don't think they're
32:06
Speaker 5: real sales.
32:07
Speaker 2: No, it's a it's a it's a gimmick, isn't it.
32:09
Speaker 2: But it actually is one that works well for them.
32:11
Speaker 5: You look at their Yeah, they're a very successful company.
32:14
Speaker 5: But I'm talking about your your genuine sales where you
32:17
Speaker 5: save fifty or sixty percent genuinely. Actually, I'll tell you
32:20
Speaker 5: what I bought recently, Smith and Coey.
32:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, club closing downside.
32:27
Speaker 5: They're closing downside.
32:28
Speaker 2: What did you I bought it, not the whole story, no,
32:35
Speaker 2: because I'll tell you what he had.
32:38
Speaker 5: They had some genuine bargains on some stuff that I like,
32:42
Speaker 5: and I know what it normally costs, and I know
32:44
Speaker 5: what I paid, and we went crazy.
32:47
Speaker 2: Do you know where you can get some really nice
32:49
Speaker 2: cologne for cheap? Is the chist? It's the chemist Warehouse?
32:54
Speaker 5: Yes, I do know that. Have you got the d
32:56
Speaker 5: C ten? I've got the d C ten. Everyone's got them.
33:01
Speaker 5: What about the new Missy? The new Missy makes mus
33:04
Speaker 5: smell like a man with integrity? Apparently it's got am
33:07
Speaker 5: But notes d C ten Dan Carter when he was
33:11

Speaker 5: And he goes and he went rid in the face,
33:20

Speaker 5: but I was too embarrassed to bring it up here
33:25
Speaker 5: and get Yeah, come keep back down there. And give
33:28
Speaker 5: me some DC.
33:31
Speaker 2: Oh, very good. Well we've achieved nothing, but that's that's that.
