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 beds and a player store.
0:14
Speaker 2: News Talks, it'd be good morning, welcome to the start
0:17
Speaker 2: of your week. It is Monday, the eighteenth of November.
0:19
Speaker 2: Great to have your company just gone six half to
0:21
Speaker 2: five here on News Talks. There'd be our lead interview
0:24
Speaker 2: this morning before six is health. The hr and Comm's
0:28
Speaker 2: contractor's spend has doubled over the past year. Why it's
0:32
Speaker 2: meant to be coming down? The link between speeding fines
0:35
Speaker 2: and crashes. Trump trying to stop the war in Ukraine.
0:38
Speaker 2: Adam Cooper on Sport and Gavin Gray out of the UK.
0:43
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:44
Speaker 2: Russia's gone hard on Ukraine's energy infrastructure heading into winter.
0:48
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty missiles dropped over the weekend.
0:51
Speaker 3: As winter arrives and we have had the first snow
0:54
Speaker 3: here in the last few days. Russia turns its attention
0:58
Speaker 3: to Ukraine's energy infrastruct in an attempt to plunge this
1:01
Speaker 3: country into darkness during the most difficult months.
1:04
Speaker 2: Trump reckons he can stop this will soon. Remember we've
1:07
Speaker 2: been talking about this. Zelenski actually commented on that during
1:12
Speaker 2: the weekend, So I'll get into that in just a
1:14
Speaker 2: few moments. The Philippines meanwhile being hit by its sixth
1:17
Speaker 2: typhoon in the space of a month. Win speed one
1:20
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety five kilometers now been recorded, Officials warning
1:23
Speaker 2: a potentially catastrophic and life threatening situation. One hundred and
1:27
Speaker 2: sixty people died over the past five storms to the
1:30
Speaker 2: Middle East, and Hesbila's chief comms guy has been killed.
1:34
Speaker 4: In Lebanon, targeting of Hamad Afif, who is within the
1:38
Speaker 4: party's political body or media body, is significant here because
1:45
Speaker 4: it's probably the first time since the beginning of this
1:48
Speaker 4: swarm that a non military off a non leaders being
1:53
Speaker 4: directly target had an assist.
1:56
Speaker 2: Lebanon is considering a new US lead cease fire deal
1:58
Speaker 2: at the moment. Back home, the Prime Minister is about
2:01
Speaker 2: to land literally in the next half an hour, following
2:04
Speaker 2: the APEX summit in Peru, and that hucker that was
2:07
Speaker 2: heard around the world has been following him. I think
2:10
Speaker 2: this is actually a bit of a nonsense story. One
2:12
Speaker 2: person was seen playing a video in the back of
2:14
Speaker 2: a speech that Luxelon was giving in Lema Peru. All
2:17
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the he boy has followed him to Peru.
2:20
Speaker 2: Really anyway, he will be landing back in Wellington big
2:24
Speaker 2: day tomorrow with up to thirty thousand people expected on
2:27
Speaker 2: Parliament's grounds for the Hecoy against the Treaties Principal's Bill.
2:31
Speaker 2: The big question is does Luxon go out to meet them?
2:35
Speaker 2: The answer should be no. You end up with either
2:39
Speaker 2: mud or a Lamington on your head. Remember what happened
2:43
Speaker 2: the other option of courses, You get some of the
2:45
Speaker 2: group to come and meet you in Parliament. That's probably
2:47
Speaker 2: the more sensible way to do it. It is nine
2:49
Speaker 2: after five.
2:50
Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
2:53
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
2:57
Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a flying Store. News Talk said, so.
3:00
Speaker 2: Really interesting on Ukraine's been going two and a half
3:03
Speaker 2: years now and they've just had their bloodiest battles of
3:06
Speaker 2: the war over the last couple of months, particularly for Russia.
3:09
Speaker 2: They've lost more troops in the last couple of months
3:11
Speaker 2: than they have at any time since the start of
3:13
Speaker 2: the war. And in comes Trump. I'm going to fix it,
3:16
Speaker 2: you know, by Christmas or within a day or whatever
3:18
Speaker 2: it is. He said, how does he actually do that?
3:21
Speaker 2: Listen to the language from Zelensky, who has said, basically,
3:25
Speaker 2: Trump will have a better chance of ending this war
3:29
Speaker 2: than Biden did.
3:30
Speaker 5: SrAl and faster with the policy of the seam that
3:33
Speaker 5: will now lead the way up. This is their approach, Gyam,
3:36
Speaker 5: their promise to their society switch and it is also
3:40
Speaker 5: very important to them.
3:42
Speaker 2: Right, So how do you actually do that? How do
3:44
Speaker 2: you stop the war in Ukraine? Well, Trump's insiders have
3:47
Speaker 2: given some insight into how into their thinking, some of
3:50
Speaker 2: their thinking about this. First of all, forget about Crimea.
3:53
Speaker 2: Zelensky's been talking about, Oh, we want to get Crimea back.
3:56
Speaker 2: That was our next note. You're going to let go
3:58
Speaker 2: of that. And then you would set up DMZ DE
4:00
Speaker 2: militarized demilitarized Zone like they have between North and South Korea.
4:05
Speaker 2: You basically freeze the fighting at its current point. That
4:09
Speaker 2: would mean by the way, Russia keeping about a fifth
4:12
Speaker 2: of Ukraine that it's managed to grab so far. Ukraine
4:16
Speaker 2: pledges not to join NATO for twenty years. Washington backs
4:21
Speaker 2: them up to the hilt with weapons. On that DMZ
4:24
Speaker 2: SO continues spending and supplying on weapons to deter the Russians,
4:30
Speaker 2: and you would have a twelve hundred kilometer DMZ patrolled
4:33
Speaker 2: by either NATO or UN troops. And the curse complication.
4:37
Speaker 2: We have to sort that out because that's where the
4:40
Speaker 2: Ukrainians managed to get into Russian territory. That's the sort
4:43
Speaker 2: of open question. How does that used as a bargaining chip?
4:46
Speaker 2: But that is the rough blueprint apparently for how they
4:49
Speaker 2: might end the war in Ukraine. So two and a
4:52
Speaker 2: half years of fighting, can Trump pull this off? Certainly
4:56
Speaker 2: the world would appreciate it. Certainly, I think those living
4:59
Speaker 2: in the regions where fighting is taking place would appreciate it.
5:04
Speaker 2: The question will be can Pousian accept Can his ego
5:08
Speaker 2: accept a compromise because he didn't have to on crime?
5:11
Speaker 2: Did he? And the other question is is Ukraine willing
5:15
Speaker 2: to forego a fifth of its territory? But then you've
5:19
Speaker 2: got to think, well, interest in this is going to
5:21
Speaker 2: Wayne is interested in all wars Waynes And you know
5:24
Speaker 2: Trump might say, well, we're not going to give you
5:25
Speaker 2: any weapons, and then you screwed. You know you damned
5:28
Speaker 2: if you do, damn if you don't. So do you
5:30
Speaker 2: accept a deal like this? Nine two ninety two. The
5:32
Speaker 2: numbers to text just go one twelve after.
5:34
Speaker 1: Five Ryan Bridge.
5:38
Speaker 2: We're talking to Robert Patman next. After Trump's meeting with
5:42
Speaker 2: shi Jing Pang. Should we join ORCUST too? Very geopolitical
5:47
Speaker 2: show this morning, but there's a lot going on. Should
5:48
Speaker 2: we join UCUST too? What if the Yanks through in
5:51
Speaker 2: a little sweetener like, hey, we won't we won't tear
5:55
Speaker 2: a few if you come on and join Orcust? But
5:58
Speaker 2: then how does China on to that? We'll ask Robert
6:01
Speaker 2: Patman next.
6:07
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
6:09
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Fifth City, New
6:13
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store News talk.
6:16
Speaker 2: Sai'd be just before six this morning. We're looking at
6:19
Speaker 2: a rather strange story the opposition having a crack at
6:22
Speaker 2: the government over health spending in the year to June.
6:25
Speaker 2: Now this is June this year, which means that some
6:28
Speaker 2: of the spending would have of course been under their
6:30
Speaker 2: watch and included you know, HR officials, comms people stuff
6:37
Speaker 2: like that. So is it a smart idea for Aishaviel
6:40
Speaker 2: to be having a crack at the government over spending
6:42
Speaker 2: that she was half responsible for we'll look at that
6:44
Speaker 2: just before six. It's just gone quarter past five. Bryan
6:47
Speaker 2: Bridge Bludston landing back in New Zealand any moment now.
6:51
Speaker 2: After the APEX Summit wrapped up in Lima, Peru, New
6:54
Speaker 2: Zealand secured trade deals with Costa Rica, Switzerland and Iceland
6:57
Speaker 2: during the summit, removing tariffs on wood and wool products.
7:01
Speaker 2: I'll tell you more about that in a second, because
7:03
Speaker 2: it is quite interesting. Luxon having his first meeting with She,
7:06
Speaker 2: his first meeting with the Indonesia, Indonesians, the Vietnamese Perode, Chile,
7:11
Speaker 2: his first formal meeting with the new Japanese Prime minister,
7:14
Speaker 2: and he said see later Biden. Robert Patman's I Targer
7:17
Speaker 2: University's International Relations Experience with US Live. Good morning, Robert,
7:23
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning Ryan. Great to have you on
7:26
Speaker 2: the show. Tell me, thank you. What did you make
7:29
Speaker 2: of that meeting with Luxeon and She?
7:33
Speaker 6: I thought the Luxe She meeting went as well as
7:38
Speaker 6: could be expected. As mister Luxon quite candidly said, there
7:42
Speaker 6: are real points of convergence, but there's also points of divergence.
7:45
Speaker 6: And amongst the diverging points were the fact that we
7:51
Speaker 6: don't see a toy on news China's role in the
7:54
Speaker 6: South Pacific see area, and we also don't really see
7:58
Speaker 6: itoy over the utility of ORCUS in the Indo Pacific region.
8:03
Speaker 6: So but putting those points aside, it was I think
8:06
Speaker 6: the meeting went very well and they seem to agree
8:10
Speaker 6: to disagree without the whole thing poisoning the atmosphere. And
8:13
Speaker 6: the fact that mister Luxelm got invited to China within
8:18
Speaker 6: the next few months I think is good because at
8:21
Speaker 6: the time, China remains our biggest trade partner, Unlike the
8:25
Speaker 6: United States. China gave us a free trade agreement.
8:28
Speaker 5: And.
8:29
Speaker 6: It's important to consolidate that relationship at a time when
8:33
Speaker 6: the new Trump administration seems poised to impose blanket tariffs
8:39
Speaker 6: on its trading partners.
8:40
Speaker 2: Now they have obviously, the Chinese have expressed concern about
8:44
Speaker 2: ucust Pillar two. They're worried about what it could mean
8:46
Speaker 2: for the region, and it's the US getting into Asia Pacific, etc.
8:52
Speaker 2: And we are on the fence at the moment about
8:53
Speaker 2: signing it right. We are saying, still reading the details,
8:55
Speaker 2: still reading the te le's we'll figure it out as
8:58
Speaker 2: we go. What if the U sweeten the deal and said, hey,
9:01
Speaker 2: we'll exempt you from trade tariff if you sign.
9:05
Speaker 6: Well, that's a possibility. But you know what, I don't
9:09
Speaker 6: think that there was a signal that mister Luxon gave.
9:13
Speaker 6: I think there's a border concern here. New Zealand, unlike
9:16
Speaker 6: the United States, has a huge state in what's called
9:20
Speaker 6: international rules based or the both in security terms and
9:23
Speaker 6: trade terms. We've been very concerned by the undermining of
9:26
Speaker 6: the wto the World Trade Organization by both the Trump
9:29
Speaker 6: administration between twenty seventeen twenty twenty and also the Biden
9:33
Speaker 6: administration as well. And mister Trump's protectionism doesn't sit well
9:39
Speaker 6: with our position. So I think we'd be obviously open
9:44
Speaker 6: to negotiation exemption, but I think we'd have a broader
9:47
Speaker 6: concern about mister Trump's protection and having an effect on
9:50
Speaker 6: global trade, in which of course we have a big stake.
9:54
Speaker 6: So in short, Ryan, I think we'd be open to
9:57
Speaker 6: negotiationing exemption, but not at the expense of our position
10:01
Speaker 6: of protectionism in general.
10:02
Speaker 2: If we did sign it, how what reaction could we
10:06
Speaker 2: get from China Because the Ausies have gone are there
10:08
Speaker 2: for opinion for a pound, and they haven't had much
10:11
Speaker 2: a way of a stern reaction in China.
10:14
Speaker 6: But they're in a qualitaively different position for US. They've
10:17
Speaker 6: always been closer to the US, and so China look
10:20
Speaker 6: at them in that regard. And secondly, China's trade relationship.
10:26
Speaker 6: They import a lot of minerals from Australia. They've also
10:29
Speaker 6: had tenser relations with China. They sanctioned them, I think
10:33
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty twenty one, so I would hesitate to
10:38
Speaker 6: draw the parallel it China sees New Zealand is much
10:42
Speaker 6: more of an independent player in the Asia Pacific. We've
10:45
Speaker 6: got to make up our own mind. I'm a bit
10:48
Speaker 6: of a skeptic in August myself, but I was struck
10:51
Speaker 6: by the fact that mister Bluckson said, on the one hand,
10:54
Speaker 6: he thought it was generally a positive thing. On the
10:56
Speaker 6: other hand, he said it may not necessarily be the
11:00
Speaker 6: right thing for New Zealm or implied that yeah and so, yeah,
11:03
Speaker 6: he's keeping You're quite right. I think he's keeping his
11:06
Speaker 6: power to dry, so to speak. I think the advent
11:09
Speaker 6: of the Trump administration has really complicated New Zeum's decision
11:13
Speaker 6: making around UCAS. I mean, after all, many keywis will
11:17
Speaker 6: be upset whether they are left, right or center. If
11:20
Speaker 6: we got even closer to a country was effectively trying
11:24
Speaker 6: to impose tariff on us or some of our.
11:28
Speaker 2: Friends exactly, which is why you were thinking. I mean,
11:30
Speaker 2: if you were going, if you were going to put
11:32
Speaker 2: me into paper, you would want some well, I would
11:34
Speaker 2: want to assuage me. I would like some sweetener. Thank
11:39
Speaker 2: you very much in the way of an exemption from tariff.
11:41
Speaker 2: But that's just me. Robert, thank you very much for
11:43
Speaker 2: you analysis. Is always great to have you on the show.
11:45
Speaker 2: That is Professor attag nivisit the international relations expert? Robert
11:49
Speaker 2: Petman News Talks in b.
11:51
Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day Early
11:55
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
11:58
Speaker 1: Beds and a player store. You talks.
12:00
Speaker 2: That'd be twenty two after five lots of sport at
12:03
Speaker 2: the weekend, Tyson obviously playing that YouTuber guy. I watched that.
12:07
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in a second, but first, Adam
12:09
Speaker 2: Cooper's here was sporting the All Blacks, losing by one
12:13
Speaker 2: point to France after a good first half. It was
12:16
Speaker 2: disappointing to watch. Wasn't it a Monie run? Certainly?
12:19
Speaker 7: Was you know, just as you said, so much promise
12:21
Speaker 7: from a very strong and comprehensive first half. I thought
12:24
Speaker 7: arguably one of their best spells of forty minutes from
12:27
Speaker 7: the whole season, with the All Blacks doing what we've
12:30
Speaker 7: known all year that they're capable of setting up some
12:33
Speaker 7: great tries.
12:33
Speaker 2: They rarely had the free sure on the back foot.
12:35
Speaker 7: I think they had to make well over a hundred
12:38
Speaker 7: tackles against the All Blacks and that that first spell,
12:40
Speaker 7: but as it has also been rather familiar this season,
12:44
Speaker 7: just just losing their way a little bit in the second.
12:46
Speaker 7: In the second spell, you know, a little bit of
12:48
Speaker 7: decision making, a little bit of discipline, you know, you
12:51
Speaker 7: think of a suffer on Moor's watched lineout throw. You
12:55
Speaker 7: know that the likes of Cody Taylor getting penalized there. Yes,
12:58
Speaker 7: there were some contentious decisions with the officiating, which we're
13:01
Speaker 7: always going to debate afterwards, but I think.
13:03
Speaker 2: The All Blacks can we can't go on and on
13:05
Speaker 2: about this.
13:06
Speaker 7: I think the All Blacks lost that game themselves, regardless
13:08
Speaker 7: of a couple of possible referee calls or TM decisions.
13:11
Speaker 7: I think they again just lost their way a bit
13:14
Speaker 7: and multiple factors just you know, let them down. Quite astonishing.
13:17
Speaker 7: Now three in a row for France against the All
13:19
Speaker 7: Blacks and starts to France, of course, where the All
13:22
Speaker 7: Blacks lost the final last year, sort of comes back
13:25
Speaker 7: to haunt them, which is really interesting. Hey, well what
13:28
Speaker 7: do they do now, because that's their last game for
13:30
Speaker 7: the Northern Tour, isn't it. I've got Italy this weekend,
13:33
Speaker 7: so one more not not as obviously as strong as
13:36
Speaker 7: opponents as the last couple of weeks, so I suspect
13:39
Speaker 7: we'll see a few of the younger players get a
13:41
Speaker 7: bit of a run and they'll try and end the
13:43
Speaker 7: year on a bit of a high. So certainly the
13:45
Speaker 7: toughest couple of games of the tours all done on Dusty.
13:47
Speaker 2: And you've got an update for us on Black Caps
13:49
Speaker 2: in the stri Lanka.
13:50
Speaker 7: Yes, Schlanka, So yeah, Sri Lanka are batting and the
13:53
Speaker 7: run chase, they're trying to get two hundred and ten
13:55
Speaker 7: to beat New Zealand. They are doing pretty well one
13:57
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty three for five, needing eighty seven runs
14:01
Speaker 7: from eighteen overs. So yeah, Cus almendis just in the
14:04
Speaker 7: middle order the epsod of holding firm for the Sri Lankans.
14:08
Speaker 7: So unless New Zealand can urgently get a few court wickets,
14:10
Speaker 7: it's going to be a Sri Lankan victory, and which
14:13
Speaker 7: would see them wrap up the series as well, because
14:15
Speaker 7: of course the Srilankans won this first one day just
14:18
Speaker 7: a few days ago.
14:18
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you Adam Cooper's Debby's Sport. It is twenty
14:21
Speaker 2: four minutes after five Ray and Bridge. So Trump has
14:25
Speaker 2: appointed his new US Department of Energy secretary, and he
14:30
Speaker 2: is we will drill, baby, drill. Chris right. He's an
14:36
Speaker 2: oil and gas industry executive. He was the founder and
14:39
Speaker 2: CEO of Liberty Energy, which is an oil field services
14:43
Speaker 2: firm based in Denver, Colorado. He aims to maximize production
14:47
Speaker 2: of oil and gas into seat ways to boost a
14:50
Speaker 2: new generation of electricity. So this is their new Secretary
14:53
Speaker 2: of Energy. They'll be stoked with this. He made a
14:56
Speaker 2: splash in twenty nineteen when he drank fracking fluid on
14:59
Speaker 2: camera to demonstrate it was not dangerous. And here's the
15:02
Speaker 2: rub for Democrats, by the way, who might be upset
15:05
Speaker 2: about this. US oil output hit the highest level any
15:10
Speaker 2: country has ever produced under Biden.
15:12
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on i Art Radio
15:16
Speaker 1: powered by News Talks ev Bus President.
15:21
Speaker 2: You're on news Talks. Heb it is twenty seven minutes
15:24
Speaker 2: after five. I felt bad watching those eight rounds on
15:27
Speaker 2: the ring with Mike Tyson de jew. I felt bad
15:29
Speaker 2: for him, the fifty eight year old. What on earth
15:31
Speaker 2: was he doing in there? Twenty million US dollars from Netflix.
15:34
Speaker 2: Apparently that's what they paid him. That's what he was
15:36
Speaker 2: doing there. His networks about ten million. He went bankrupt
15:39
Speaker 2: a few years ago. Of course, went to prison. Was
15:41
Speaker 2: worth three hundred million. Ayway, he needed money, poor old
15:44
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson. And Netflix paid the other guy, Jake Paul
15:47
Speaker 2: forty million dollars president Gate Tarkit sales Gate ticket sales
15:53
Speaker 2: are from AT and T Stadium brought in close to
15:56
Speaker 2: US eighteen million dollars and seventy fans and Netflix while
16:02
Speaker 2: they won the fight with sixty five million viewers at peak.
16:06
Speaker 2: It's part of a new strategy that they've got to
16:08
Speaker 2: get live sport events to their subscribers, including those that
16:11
Speaker 2: are paying less but getting fed ads on the platform.
16:14
Speaker 2: This is their clever strategy. So their ad supported flip
16:17
Speaker 2: platform now accounts for fifty percent of their new signups.
16:21
Speaker 2: It's grown to seventy million new use in news in
16:24
Speaker 2: just two years. It's a credible These big tech bro
16:28
Speaker 2: Silicon Valley giant media companies, you know, YouTube's all of
16:32
Speaker 2: those types. They're just going from strength to strength, aren't they.
16:35
Speaker 2: And they're the ones that have our attention. There are one,
16:38
Speaker 2: two and three most streamed in New Zealand, and yet
16:40
Speaker 2: we here in New Zealand and Australia are trying to
16:43
Speaker 2: force them into news content deals with us. We're battling
16:47
Speaker 2: with taxpayers cash to reinvigorate failing state media companies to
16:51
Speaker 2: compete with these guys and are doomed to fail battle.
16:54
Speaker 2: We're like the fifty eight year old Mike Tyson who
16:57
Speaker 2: apparently nearly died before entering the ring. Annoying twenty seven
17:01
Speaker 2: year old new to boxing but bringing in the eyeballs
17:04
Speaker 2: Jake Paul, these big tech companies. So what do we
17:08
Speaker 2: need to do? Keep fighting, get more bloodied, get more bruised,
17:12
Speaker 2: or create partnerships and try and get our content to
17:16
Speaker 2: their eyeballs.
17:23
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
17:27
Speaker 1: twenty four on Early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
17:30
Speaker 1: furniture bids and a playing store.
17:32
Speaker 2: News Talk zidby good Morning New Zealand, twenty four minutes
17:42
Speaker 2: away from six year on news Talk, said by welcome
17:44
Speaker 2: to the start of your week. Welcome to you Monday.
17:47
Speaker 2: We're going to go to Gavin Graham the UK shortly
17:49
Speaker 2: Poland scrambling its air force. Y also this concern we're
17:54
Speaker 2: spending too much still on consultants and pr gurus, et cetera,
17:59
Speaker 2: and the healthiest we'll talk to the Sarah Dalton about that.
18:03
Speaker 2: We'll go to our reporters around the country. Cash. Remember
18:07
Speaker 2: I said a couple of weeks ago that we should
18:09
Speaker 2: make it a law, change the law to allow people
18:13
Speaker 2: to use cash for essentials like fuel and like groceries,
18:18
Speaker 2: because one day we'll have another earthquake or whatever and
18:21
Speaker 2: everyone will have their postcards and no one will be
18:23
Speaker 2: able to use them because the power goes down and
18:26
Speaker 2: there's glitches, et cetera. So we need to encourage cash more.
18:30
Speaker 2: And at the moment in New Zealand, you only need
18:33
Speaker 2: the only requirement for accepting cash's legal tender is if
18:36
Speaker 2: you're paying off debt, so you can use cash to
18:38
Speaker 2: do that. However, it should go further than that. You
18:42
Speaker 2: should be able to pay for your groceries and for
18:45
Speaker 2: your petrol with cash. Now at the moment most of
18:47
Speaker 2: those outlets accept it, but one day they probably won't. Well,
18:51
Speaker 2: what's happening today? Apparently, according to the Sydney Morning Herald,
18:55
Speaker 2: today the Australian Government will announce exactly what I said
18:58
Speaker 2: we should that retailers must sell gross groceries and fuel
19:05
Speaker 2: and accept banknotes and coins. In doing so. You can
19:09
Speaker 2: accept other forms obviously, you can still do your payWave
19:11
Speaker 2: and your credit card and whatnot. But they're saying we
19:14
Speaker 2: need to keep cash and circulation. Should something, should the
19:17
Speaker 2: shite hit the fan twenty two minutes away from six
19:20
Speaker 2: News Talks, he'd be Bryan Bridgelake Benny's without Dunedian News Blake,
19:24
Speaker 2: Good Morning. The Dunedan mayor upset that Shane snubbed them.
19:29
Speaker 8: Yeah, so this is Health Minister Shane Retty's decision to
19:32
Speaker 8: decline his SOS Hospital rally invite, which the mayor is
19:35
Speaker 8: calling a missed opportunity. Residents are invited to the Dunedin
19:39
Speaker 8: Town Hall from six pm as part of the council's
19:42
Speaker 8: campaign to have the new hospital built to its original
19:45
Speaker 8: promise plans. Mayor Jules Raddick says he's disappointed but not
19:49
Speaker 8: surprised by the Health Minister's absence. He says reci would
19:52
Speaker 8: have been able to hear from independent experts who could
19:55
Speaker 8: determine the right size for the hospital, but Raddit says
19:58
Speaker 8: they'll just send the Health Minister a no nonsense statement instead.
20:02
Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather.
20:03
Speaker 8: It's fine. Northeasterly is on the cards today, which will
20:06
Speaker 8: ease this evening high of twenty.
20:08
Speaker 2: Cheers, Blake, have a good day, Claire's and christ Church clear.
20:10
Speaker 2: Young Fayibao being farewelled at a service today.
20:14
Speaker 9: Yes, this is real estate agent Young Faybao Ryan. Members
20:17
Speaker 9: of the public are being invited to join her family
20:19
Speaker 9: and friends for a service today. It's at eleven this
20:22
Speaker 9: morning at a church in Stotburn called Our Lady of
20:25
Speaker 9: Victories Now. Organizers say everyone's welcome. They want to remember
20:29
Speaker 9: Young Faybao's beautiful life and celebrate some of her incredible accomplishments.
20:34
Speaker 9: That are inviting people to share their own favorite memories.
20:36
Speaker 10: Of her too.
20:37
Speaker 9: This comes, of course, as the trial for the man
20:39
Speaker 9: alleged to have murdered. Boo continues, it'll be the fifth
20:43
Speaker 9: week of that trial. This week the crown witnesses are
20:45
Speaker 9: still being called and the accused Tin Jun Choo is
20:48
Speaker 9: now running his own defense.
20:50
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather today?
20:52
Speaker 9: Fine for christ Church as well, fresh northeasterly is easing
20:55
Speaker 9: a bit later the high will be eighteen brilliant.
20:57
Speaker 2: Thank you. In Wellington, the hikoy's heading there and is
21:00
Speaker 2: the for us this morning?
21:01
Speaker 6: Mix?
21:02
Speaker 2: What's the advice for people?
21:04
Speaker 11: Yeah, as you said earlier, up to thirty thousand expected
21:07
Speaker 11: to descend on Parliament tomorrow. That might potentially overflow from
21:11
Speaker 11: the grounds. The central city is going to be an
21:13
Speaker 11: absolute nightmare logistically, public servants being urged to work from home,
21:17
Speaker 11: several businesses. The same police say a similar precedent might
21:21
Speaker 11: be the Foreshore and seabed protest, but they insist they
21:24
Speaker 11: are well prepared for a mass protest at Parliament that
21:28
Speaker 11: might make a bit of a change. A police actually
21:30
Speaker 11: quite complimentary of how this hecoy has been organized so far. Ultimately,
21:35
Speaker 11: the key message is to remain peaceful and on message.
21:38
Speaker 11: Tomorrow should go relatively smoothly. If that's the case, schools
21:41
Speaker 11: have to remain open some online options for some students. Otherwise,
21:45
Speaker 11: for instance, kids who go to the hecoy instead of
21:49
Speaker 11: scheduled NCEEEA exam won't be eligible for a derived grade.
21:54
Speaker 11: Backbench Apub across the road expressing a little bit of
21:56
Speaker 11: concern about again traffic and logistics and such.
22:00
Speaker 2: It is a shame that they were a big shame
22:03
Speaker 2: if the kids went and missed out on their grades,
22:05
Speaker 2: because that's forever, isn't it.
22:07
Speaker 11: How's the weather, max, Oh, terrific, fine light winds today?
22:11
Speaker 2: There we go, Thank you very much, neighbors and Auckland. Hey, Neva, Hello,
22:14
Speaker 2: are you t launching a brand new class? Yes, Taylor Swift.
22:19
Speaker 12: Correct, Taylor Swift Communications Professional. So now apparently this story
22:25
Speaker 12: came out, you know what was it a couple of
22:27
Speaker 12: months ago? But the new angle it starts today, the
22:30
Speaker 12: new summer school course at aut And apparently this is
22:33
Speaker 12: going to analyze Swift's eighteen year career through the lens
22:36
Speaker 12: of communications discipline. So the course runs from today until
22:40
Speaker 12: December thirteenth, apparently that Swift's birthday. So they're going to
22:43
Speaker 12: have modules three days a week Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
22:46
Speaker 12: We're just talking about this in the newsroom, like I mean,
22:49
Speaker 12: would you. We don't know how many have signed up,
22:51
Speaker 12: though we're going to find out exactly how many of s.
22:53
Speaker 2: I just would have thought it would be part of
22:55
Speaker 2: a wider music course where you would look at different
22:58
Speaker 2: artists rather than have tire course on one exactly.
23:02
Speaker 12: I mean what they give back in the day, we
23:03
Speaker 12: would have loved to have sell a black or none
23:06
Speaker 12: of them as scory.
23:07
Speaker 10: Do you know who they are?
23:08
Speaker 2: Sell a black?
23:08
Speaker 6: I do not?
23:10
Speaker 12: Oh, your parents or grandparents. She's still alive. Apparently she's ninety.
23:13
Speaker 12: There used to be this whole program about her every
23:16
Speaker 12: Sunday night when the black TV was black and white
23:19
Speaker 12: back in those days.
23:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't have to look her up.
23:22
Speaker 11: Yes, and here I am.
23:23
Speaker 12: I've got to go because I'm sitting here on my
23:25
Speaker 12: knees because there's no jem.
23:27
Speaker 2: We're a bit poor, aren't we. How's the weather today? Never?
23:30
Speaker 1: Partly? Cloudy?
23:31
Speaker 8: Isolated?
23:31
Speaker 12: Shellers that's north of vord Air with this morning still
23:35
Speaker 12: will though summer's coming?
23:36
Speaker 1: Is it here?
23:36
Speaker 10: At twenty one?
23:37
Speaker 2: Is the whole certainly feels that way. Let's go to

24:58
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray is our man in the UK and scrambling
25:00
Speaker 2: as air force because of these massive Russian attacks on Ukraine.
25:04
Speaker 2: That's just as winter's coming, right, Skeiven.
25:09
Speaker 13: Sure, we'll just try and sort of force Ukraine into
25:13
Speaker 13: a miserable winter and of course it does get bitterly
25:17
Speaker 13: cold there if they knock out all these power plants. Now,
25:19
Speaker 13: we've just heard in the last few minutes that the
25:22
Speaker 13: death toll of those overnight strikes missile and drone attacks
25:25
Speaker 13: from Russia killed ten people, has just gone up from
25:28
Speaker 13: seven and there are of course others in hospital. And
25:32
Speaker 13: indeed it was the largest coordinated assault since early September.
25:36
Speaker 13: One hundred and twenty missiles and ninety drones were launched.
25:40
Speaker 13: So what is the response from Europe. Well, Poland, Ukraine's
25:44
Speaker 13: neighbor on the western side, scrambled fighter jets to patron
25:48
Speaker 13: its own airspace. And that is because some of these drones,
25:52
Speaker 13: some of the missiles will go into the westernmost part
25:55
Speaker 13: of Ukraine, in other words, very near to Poland and
25:59
Speaker 13: also Hungry, which neighbors both Ukraine and Poland, also on
26:04
Speaker 13: alert with drone attacks just twenty kilometers from the border.
26:10
Speaker 13: And the country's defense minister. They're saying the situation is
26:13
Speaker 13: being monitored continuously.
26:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, two and a half he is under this war.
26:16
Speaker 2: What's the vibe, because obviously Trump's come in he says
26:19
Speaker 2: I'm going to end at your head Zelenski at the weekend,
26:21
Speaker 2: saying if anyone can end it, you know, Trump has
26:24
Speaker 2: a bit of chance of ending it. Given as ritric.
26:26
Speaker 2: Then perhaps Biden did this talk of a DMZ zone
26:30
Speaker 2: between the countries of Ukraine agreeing not to join NATO
26:34
Speaker 2: for twenty years. What's the vibe? Is it likely?
26:38
Speaker 13: I think here in Europe the concern is Donald Trump
26:42
Speaker 13: will simply turned the tap off, either completely or largely
26:45
Speaker 13: on aid the Ukraine financial aid and military aid. And
26:49
Speaker 13: then the big question is will Europe step up to
26:52
Speaker 13: the plate and fill the void. They said they will,
26:55
Speaker 13: but well, there plenty of youre skeptical about that. And
26:58
Speaker 13: indeed the German Chancellor, leader of Germany, on our Schultz,
27:02
Speaker 13: he put a call in to Vladimir Putin. They spoke
27:05
Speaker 13: for over an hour. It was the first time they
27:07
Speaker 13: were spoken directly for nearly two years, and it infuriated
27:12
Speaker 13: many in Europe who believe that the opportunity for diplomacy
27:16
Speaker 13: has gone. There should be no appeasement and indeed they
27:20
Speaker 13: should step up the support of Ukraine.
27:22
Speaker 2: Interesting, Gavin, thank you for that. Givin gray Are UK
27:24
Speaker 2: europe Correspondent, twelve minutes away from six ran Bridge. The
27:28
Speaker 2: oppositions having a crack at Health New Zealand and the government.
27:31
Speaker 2: The agency spent eighty five million dollars more on consultants
27:36
Speaker 2: and contractors in the year to June twenty twenty four
27:38
Speaker 2: than it did in the year to June twenty twenty three.
27:40
Speaker 2: Now some caveats on this. That includes all but half,
27:46
Speaker 2: well about half actually of labour's time and power, and
27:50
Speaker 2: it also includes people and comms. An increase in people
27:54
Speaker 2: in comms. Now people means HR. I think comm's meaning
27:58
Speaker 2: communication staff. That's blown out twenty seven million dollars to
28:01
Speaker 2: sixty one. It's doubled. The Health Agency is putting the
28:06
Speaker 2: spending increase down to a global shortage of health workers.
28:09
Speaker 2: The roles hired on a contracting basis are needed to
28:12
Speaker 2: fulfill time workforce gaps, according to the department. Sarah Dalton's
28:17
Speaker 2: with the Association of Salary Medical Specialists. She's the executive
28:20
Speaker 2: director there and she's with us this morning. This is
28:22
Speaker 2: AzID be Exclusive. Good morning Sarah, Good morning Ryan. How
28:26
Speaker 2: I I'm very well, thank you. I'm assuming, on the
28:29
Speaker 2: face of it, you would support them spending more money
28:32
Speaker 2: to fill gaps that need to be filled.
28:35
Speaker 14: Yeah, on the face of it, we would obviously. You know,
28:38
Speaker 14: if you and I are our family go to hospital,
28:40
Speaker 14: we want to know that there are other clinicians there
28:43
Speaker 14: to provide good care, right Yeah, So.
28:46
Speaker 2: That's good, So we're happy case closed.
28:49
Speaker 14: I wish it were that simple. So we would like
28:53
Speaker 14: to see U fortater Health New Zealand putting that money
28:57
Speaker 14: into recruiting and retaining permanence staff. And that is they
29:02
Speaker 14: haven't got the balance right there. So every hospital system
29:05
Speaker 14: will require local cover. Sometimes they're basically temporary or casual
29:10
Speaker 14: doctors or other staff who can fill gaps. But this
29:13
Speaker 14: health system continues to rely too heavily on locums to
29:18
Speaker 14: run hospitals. It means staffing remains fragile, and it means
29:21
Speaker 14: it's really expensive.
29:24
Speaker 2: We're never going to get that right though. I mean,
29:26
Speaker 2: I mean we've got actually an opposition party here criticizing
29:29
Speaker 2: a budget which they were half responsible for, which probably
29:33
Speaker 2: just goes to show you that no matter who's in power,
29:36
Speaker 2: we're going to be using locans up to Marzu.
29:38
Speaker 6: No.
29:40
Speaker 14: I still think that the balance is wrong. We are
29:43
Speaker 14: still waiting to see a comprehensive workforce plan and a
29:47
Speaker 14: workforce census that says, actually, Health New Zealand knows specifically
29:52
Speaker 14: where the people are, where the specific shortages are, and
29:55
Speaker 14: what the plan is to address them. You know, the
29:58
Speaker 14: twenty twenty three workforce Plan identified seventeen hundred doctors missing
30:02
Speaker 14: from the system. This year's budget made no reference to
30:05
Speaker 14: those known vacancies in terms of how they were funding
30:08
Speaker 14: or how they were working to fill those gaps. And
30:10
Speaker 14: this year's health workforce plan is missing in action. I
30:14
Speaker 14: asked the minister about it. He says, it's with cabinets.
30:18
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot of things with cabinet at the moment.
30:19
Speaker 2: Hey just randomly a lot of stories about us importing.
30:24
Speaker 2: You know, we've got new registrations for doctors coming in
30:27
Speaker 2: from Ireland and England and Australia and stuff. They're making
30:31
Speaker 2: up a greater percentage of our new registrations than locally
30:33
Speaker 2: trained doctors. Same story going with nurses. Is that really
30:36
Speaker 2: a big problem? Who cares where if my doctor was
30:39
Speaker 2: trained in Australia or here, they're still going to do
30:41
Speaker 2: the same operation on me, aren't they.
30:44
Speaker 14: Yeah, So we always rely heavily on overseas trained doctors.
30:47
Speaker 14: That isn't new. Upwards of forty five percent of our
30:51
Speaker 14: senior doctors intend to sew overseas trained. We still don't
30:55
Speaker 14: even come close to training as many as we need
30:58
Speaker 14: here and we would like a greater invest into that.
31:00
Speaker 14: So on the face of it, as long as those
31:03
Speaker 14: doctors have are appropriately training, qualified and learn a bit
31:07
Speaker 14: about what it means to work in New Zealand, that
31:10
Speaker 14: isn't a massive problem. Although we think having a sensible
31:15
Speaker 14: mix of locally and overseas trained doctors helps in terms
31:19
Speaker 14: of again sustainable workforce.
31:23
Speaker 2: Because I suppose they could all bugger off at some point,
31:25
Speaker 2: couldn't they all? Or a pandemic or a war comes along,
31:28
Speaker 2: they all go home and we're left with no one
31:31
Speaker 2: to do the operations. Sarah, thank you very much for that.
31:33
Speaker 2: Sarah Dalton, Executive director of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists.
31:38
Speaker 2: It's eight to six news talks there be on your
31:40
Speaker 2: Monday morning.
31:42
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
31:47
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and
31:50
Speaker 1: a playing store.
31:51
Speaker 2: News Talks be it is five away from six year
31:55
Speaker 2: on news Talks B Mike, I'm just going to hand
31:56
Speaker 2: you Mike hasn't got a change talk to me most.
32:00
Speaker 10: Actually, what sort of welcome or lack of welcome is?
32:03
Speaker 2: This never got on her knees when she came in,
32:05
Speaker 2: all right, So that's how desperate we are without a seat.
32:09
Speaker 2: I want to look at So just have a look
32:11
Speaker 2: at this photo. Have you seen that? You probably would
32:13
Speaker 2: have seen it last night. Yes, So this is the
32:16
Speaker 2: this is modern American politics. It's a photo of Elon Musk,
32:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, Trump Junior, RFK, Speaker of the House, all
32:25
Speaker 2: sitting on a on a jet probably Trump forse one
32:27
Speaker 2: yes with McDonald's Yeah it is.
32:29
Speaker 10: And is RFK eating It doesn't look like he's eating anything.
32:33
Speaker 2: He's holding up as there's a quarter pounded, there's a
32:36
Speaker 2: fileo fish. But they're all going to the UFC. I mean,
32:38
Speaker 2: what is this?
32:39
Speaker 10: It's amazing. It's a very good piece.
32:41
Speaker 15: You should read in the Sydney Morning Herald this morning. Yeah,
32:44
Speaker 15: that talked to eighteen people on under the auspices of
32:49
Speaker 15: anonymity so they could speak freely. And apparently at Mary
32:53
Speaker 15: Lago it's gone feral. And so what you're seeing is
32:57
Speaker 15: a repeat of what happened last time. Is so he
32:59
Speaker 15: had quite a dis team in terms of putting together
33:03
Speaker 15: a campaign and winning it and all that sort of stuff,
33:04
Speaker 15: way more discipline than twenty sixteen.
33:07
Speaker 10: The moment he won, he went nuts.
33:10
Speaker 15: And so your Gates and all the other crazies that
33:13
Speaker 15: he's putting forward are not part of the strategy. They're
33:15
Speaker 15: just him, you know, free wheeling and ad libbing. And
33:18
Speaker 15: one of the quotes is a really good quote. He goes,
33:21
Speaker 15: I can't find you one of these guys is involved
33:23
Speaker 15: in the Senate. I can't find you any more than
33:26
Speaker 15: twenty senators who will ever vote for Gates because some
33:29
Speaker 15: people still take their job seriously.
33:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they got all sorts of yeah, he won't
33:33
