- 0:01Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge new
- 0:08Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
- 0:12Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture bands and a player store.
- 0:14Speaker 2: News Talk said, be.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Good morning, it is six after five year on news
- 0:17Speaker 3: Talk said Bee coming up this morning before six Nurses
- 0:20Speaker 3: not happy with Shane Besi's new health targets. Why billionaire
- 0:24Speaker 3: walks in space wearing weird suit. We'll tell you why
- 0:29Speaker 3: those suits are going to be crucial for spaceflight in
- 0:32Speaker 3: the future. Also, the King's guards bear skin caps. You
- 0:36Speaker 3: would have seen them if you've been to the UK.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Guess how much they cost. Kevin Gray out of the UK.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Plus what has been heating your heat pump this winter?
- 0:44Speaker 3: All ahead.
- 0:46Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 0:47Speaker 3: It is Friday, the first, thenth of September. Harvey Weinstein
- 0:50Speaker 3: has been indicted on new charges. These are sex crime
- 0:53Speaker 3: charges in New York this time, but exact details not
- 0:56Speaker 3: revealed until he is formally charged. Weinstein was in court
- 1:00Speaker 3: today after being transferred from prison to hospital for heart surgery.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Earlier this week, the big bowing backlog affecting all of
- 1:08Speaker 3: our air travel. Around thirty thousand Boeing workers have started
- 1:11Speaker 3: voting on a new contract. Possible strike action could happen
- 1:14Speaker 3: as soon as tomorrow. Currently, the proposal, as we said
- 1:16Speaker 3: the other day, a twenty five percent wage increase, though
- 1:20Speaker 3: union's not happy. If they can pay a CEO thirty
- 1:23Speaker 3: three million a year, is that the best they can
- 1:25Speaker 3: really do.
- 1:26Speaker 2: We're still prioritizing what we have to do.
- 1:28Speaker 3: We're still in within compliance. We're just making a lot
- 1:32Speaker 3: more noise. A small group of lawyers and activists are
- 1:36Speaker 3: demanding an investigation into whether our spies are guilty of
- 1:39Speaker 3: aiding international war crimes in Gaza. Do they have evidence? No,
- 1:44Speaker 3: a smoking gun.
- 1:45Speaker 4: No.
- 1:46Speaker 3: The letter just says that because we're a member of
- 1:48Speaker 3: the Five Eyes, it is plausible to suggest that we
- 1:52Speaker 3: might have done something. I would have thought you'd need
- 1:55Speaker 3: more than a hunch to investigate something like that. What
- 1:57Speaker 3: an awesome display yesterday of Kiewei's and kindness. I know
- 2:02Speaker 3: we hate that word, but it was when the Black
- 2:05Speaker 3: Ferns met King Charles and gave the old boy a
- 2:07Speaker 3: big hug.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Hug? Why not?
- 2:15Speaker 3: What excellent ambassadors for New Zealand, respectful, humble. Always good
- 2:19Speaker 3: to ask a monarch first before you go in for
- 2:21Speaker 3: a hug. I would have thought get ahead of the headlines.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
- 2:29Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a planet store.
- 2:32Speaker 2: News Talk said, be.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Also bad news for Zelensky overnight, good news for Putin
- 2:37Speaker 3: the Russian troops that have been fighting to try and
- 2:40Speaker 3: recapture parts of the Curse region. Obviously, Zolensky and his
- 2:43Speaker 3: crew went in there. They have managed to recapture several
- 2:46Speaker 3: key villages in the Curse regions. This is a significant
- 2:49Speaker 3: blow to Zelensky and his plans to you know, to
- 2:53Speaker 3: try and force Russia's hand by going into the territory.
- 2:58Speaker 3: The Kremlin has launched a counter and it seems to be,
- 3:01Speaker 3: at least at this stage, it seems to be having
- 3:03Speaker 3: some success. It has just gone nine minutes after five
- 3:06Speaker 3: year on news Talk said be, I would love to
- 3:08Speaker 3: hear from you this morning on this story. Nine two
- 3:11Speaker 3: nine two is the number to text. We're going to
- 3:13Speaker 3: paint the Auckland Harbor Bridge. It's going to take eight
- 3:18Speaker 3: to ten years now. Leo, who's our producer here, has
- 3:22Speaker 3: been building a fence for what seems like for as
- 3:25Speaker 3: long as I've been on this show. So that's like
- 3:28Speaker 3: two months and Leo has been building and his whole family,
- 3:32Speaker 3: but the sounds of it have been building this fence
- 3:34Speaker 3: for two months, and I just think, you know, is
- 3:37Speaker 3: it a border wall?
- 3:38Speaker 2: You know?
- 3:39Speaker 3: Is it the Great Wall of China that you're building?
- 3:41Speaker 2: Leo?
- 3:41Speaker 3: Anyway seems to be taking forever, and this paint job
- 3:45Speaker 3: on the Alton Harbor Bridge is going to take eight
- 3:47Speaker 3: to ten years. Is there anything wrong with the current
- 3:50Speaker 3: paint job?
- 3:51Speaker 5: You know?
- 3:52Speaker 3: I would love to know if anyone has any insight
- 3:54Speaker 3: on this. Are they doing it to try and seal
- 3:57Speaker 3: the bridge from you know, weather from etc. Or is
- 4:01Speaker 3: it just a cosmetic thing, Because if it's a cosmetic thing,
- 4:04Speaker 3: just leave it. It's a bridge. I don't expect it
- 4:06Speaker 3: to look that pretty. I've never looked at that bridge
- 4:09Speaker 3: and thought that needs a paint job. You know, plenty
- 4:13Speaker 3: of things around my house I look at it and
- 4:14Speaker 3: think that needs a paint job, but not the Auckland
- 4:16Speaker 3: Harbor Bridge. So if you have any insight, nineteen nine
- 4:19Speaker 3: two is a number of text. But also I'm really
- 4:22Speaker 3: keen to hear from you, because Friday morning, I'm really
- 4:24Speaker 3: keen to hear what job have you started? In your
- 4:27Speaker 3: house and how long has it taken you? Is any
- 4:29Speaker 3: can anyone set a record for us this morning? Nine
- 4:32Speaker 3: two nine two is the number of text It's going
- 4:34Speaker 3: to cost a lot of money. I can't tell you
- 4:37Speaker 3: exactly how much. At this point they expect the traffic
- 4:40Speaker 3: will be business as usual in Nelson. In Nelson they
- 4:45Speaker 3: have made a new rule about sandwich boards. So I know,
- 4:49Speaker 3: I don't really have a strong opinion on sandwich boards.
- 4:51Speaker 3: You may, I don't really mind. They don't look to
- 4:55Speaker 3: me like pollution. A lot of people say, oh, it's
- 4:57Speaker 3: just gross to have all of these advertisements out on
- 4:59Speaker 3: the path, not really caring about that. People who are
- 5:03Speaker 3: blind or low vision obviously trip over them. And I'm
- 5:07Speaker 3: not blind, so I don't have that problem. So I imagine
- 5:10Speaker 3: for some people they are very annoying, but not for
- 5:13Speaker 3: me anyway. And Nelson they have banned them from putting them,
- 5:17Speaker 3: from putting them near the road on the footpath, so
- 5:19Speaker 3: you have to have a clear way for people who
- 5:21Speaker 3: are blind to walk through, which seems reasonable. They have
- 5:25Speaker 3: banned any flags except for the local council, who are
- 5:30Speaker 3: allowed to fly their flags on the pavement, just not
- 5:34Speaker 3: anybody else. Typical I know twelve minutes after five.
- 5:43Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
- 5:48Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
- 5:51Speaker 1: a Plying Store.
- 5:52Speaker 3: News Talk z B fourteen after five. Welcome to your
- 5:55Speaker 3: Friday morning. Great to have your company. Lots of texts
- 5:57Speaker 3: coming in on the Auckland Harbor Bridge, which they're going
- 5:59Speaker 3: to paint and will take eight to ten years to
- 6:02Speaker 3: finish the job. Ryan, The Harbor Bridge painting is preventative maintenance.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Large steel structures need frequent recoating to prevent corrosion, which
- 6:10Speaker 3: if found would be a whole lot more expensive to fix.
- 6:14Speaker 3: So that makes sense. Ryan. Apparently this is from Cody.
- 6:17Speaker 3: It only took them four years to build the Golden
- 6:19Speaker 3: gate Bridge. Is that true? Leo says it's true. So
- 6:24Speaker 3: four years to build the Golden gate Bridge and eight
- 6:28Speaker 3: to ten years to paint house. Ryan Bridge, she's gone
- 6:32Speaker 3: fourteen after five. We've got some more to add to
- 6:35Speaker 3: the country's energy crisis. New data from MB shows between
- 6:38Speaker 3: April and June this year, extra coal and gas was
- 6:42Speaker 3: needed to generate enough power. Not surprising, I suppose given
- 6:45Speaker 3: recent coverage low hydro late levels meant that electricity generated
- 6:49Speaker 3: from renewable sources drops to eighty one point three percent
- 6:52Speaker 3: of total generation. That's eight point six percent lower compared
- 6:55Speaker 3: at the same time last year, and for the first
- 6:57Speaker 3: time since June twenty twenty one, coal generated more electricity
- 7:01Speaker 3: than wind. Senior research fellow at the University of Otago,
- 7:05Speaker 3: doctor Kimberly Osullivan's with me this morning. Good morning, Thanks
- 7:09Speaker 3: for being with me. What's I suppose this is just
- 7:13Speaker 3: part of the course, right when we don't have enough
- 7:15Speaker 3: in the lakes, we have to go somewhere, We have
- 7:19Speaker 3: to go somewhere.
- 7:20Speaker 5: Ryan, You're right, but I really think that it's time
- 7:23Speaker 5: to stop looking underground to the solution to our problems.
- 7:26Speaker 5: It's gotten cheaper and cheaper for us to put solar
- 7:29Speaker 5: on houses, and that's what we really need to start
- 7:31Speaker 5: doing urgently if we want to solve this problem.
- 7:33Speaker 3: So every house should have a solar panel.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Well, I think we should start with those that can
- 7:39Speaker 5: least afford electricity and help them out, because we know
- 7:43Speaker 5: that when people can't afford enough electricity at home, they're
- 7:47Speaker 5: really doing it tough and we end up spending more
- 7:49Speaker 5: and more money on treating them in hospital when they
- 7:51Speaker 5: don't need to be there.
- 7:53Speaker 3: So subsidizing solar panels for lower income households is what
- 7:58Speaker 3: you're saying, isn't absolutely will we Okay, let's assume that
- 8:02Speaker 3: all of our low income households have a solar panel
- 8:06Speaker 3: on them. We will still have we will still have
- 8:09Speaker 3: parts of the winter where we won't have enough to
- 8:11Speaker 3: cover ourselves. Right, that's the problem.
- 8:14Speaker 5: We'll still be a bit short. But if we start
- 8:16Speaker 5: doing things like that, as well as continuing to insulate
- 8:20Speaker 5: our home so that we need to use less energy
- 8:22Speaker 5: than what we currently do in order to stay warm
- 8:25Speaker 5: and healthy at home, then that would go a long
- 8:28Speaker 5: way to solving our problem. The other thing about coal
- 8:30Speaker 5: and gas, fossil fuel, it's expensive now, but it's expensive
- 8:35Speaker 5: in the future too. It's not a climate safe solution,
- 8:37Speaker 5: and we're seeing more in my extreme weather events from
- 8:40Speaker 5: climate change. That's only going to continue if we keep
- 8:43Speaker 5: burning fossil fuels.
- 8:44Speaker 3: So you're saying we need to reduce consumption as in
- 8:46Speaker 3: what freeze and you know, sit in the cold.
- 8:49Speaker 5: No, absolutely not. What we need to do is they're
- 8:52Speaker 5: smarter about that. We can build housing, and we can
- 8:55Speaker 5: spect our houses so that they don't need to use
- 8:58Speaker 5: as much energy to keep us warm at home. At
- 9:01Speaker 5: the moment. What we're seeing when we measure temperatures inside
- 9:04Speaker 5: our homes is that they track really closely to their
- 9:06Speaker 5: outdoal temperatures. So in the winter, we really need to
- 9:10Speaker 5: use a lot of energy to keep our houses warmer,
- 9:13Speaker 5: and it doesn't need to be that way. We could
- 9:15Speaker 5: make our houses warmer by increasing the insulation, by retrefiting
- 9:19Speaker 5: insulation on existing homes, by increasing the technology that we
- 9:24Speaker 5: use to make new homes more efficient, and then we
- 9:27Speaker 5: could put solar on top. We could solve a lot
- 9:29Speaker 5: of problems that way.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Yeah, however, that all sounds great, but we've had subsidies
- 9:33Speaker 3: to do this before. Not all houses have been done.
- 9:36Speaker 3: I mean, look at this. The government, the state is
- 9:38Speaker 3: the worst actually at this in terms of insulating the
- 9:40Speaker 3: state houses. But what you're suggesting will take time, will
- 9:44Speaker 3: take significant investment. In the meantime, we have to use
- 9:49Speaker 3: gas and coal, don't we, And surely gas is better
- 9:52Speaker 3: than coal.
- 9:54Speaker 5: I think gas is slightly better than coal, but not
- 9:56Speaker 5: a lot. It's also expensive. It also takes time, and
- 9:59Speaker 5: if we're going to keep looking underground for new gas,
- 10:02Speaker 5: that's going to take a really long time. We've got
- 10:04Speaker 5: solutions that are right here. If we ramped up what
- 10:07Speaker 5: we know that we can do now and did a
- 10:10Speaker 5: better job, going harder with the insulation and putting even
- 10:15Speaker 5: more into our home so that we need to use
- 10:17Speaker 5: less energy, then that would go a really long way
- 10:20Speaker 5: to helping to solve this problem. If we put solar on,
- 10:23Speaker 5: then we're going to go even further. And there are
- 10:26Speaker 5: contents already in place for the big gent tailors to
- 10:30Speaker 5: be building so they could get going with this problem
- 10:33Speaker 5: as well and start to make better renewable solutions for us.
- 10:37Speaker 3: All Right, Doctor Kimberly O. Saloman, thank you very much
- 10:39Speaker 3: for your time this morning. Senior search fellow at the
- 10:42Speaker 3: University of Otago says the prob the solution rather to
- 10:45Speaker 3: our energy wose is to solar panel on the roof,
- 10:48Speaker 3: insulation in the walls. And Bob's your uncle nine to
- 10:52Speaker 3: ninety two to text.
- 10:55Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day is
- 10:58Speaker 1: Billy Addition with Ryan Ridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
- 11:02Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a flying Store.
- 11:04Speaker 2: You talk, Sibby.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Lots of texts coming in on our previous guest and
- 11:10Speaker 3: solar energy the solution to all of our woes. We'll
- 11:13Speaker 3: get to those in just a second right now. Though
- 11:15Speaker 3: Polaris Dawn mission successful, a dar Devil billionaire turned astronaut
- 11:21Speaker 3: has floated his way into the history books overnight conducting
- 11:24Speaker 3: the world's first privately funded spacewalk. Jared Isaacman, along with
- 11:28Speaker 3: SpaceX's Sarah Gillis, launched into space about a week ago
- 11:32Speaker 3: on the Falcon nine rocket, and last night they conducted
- 11:36Speaker 3: a two hour walk outside their capsule.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Back at home, we all have.
- 11:39Speaker 3: A lot of work to year, but from here first
- 11:42Speaker 3: sure looks.
- 11:43Speaker 6: Like a perfect world.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Chris Jackson is the University of Auckland head of space Operations. Chris,
- 11:49Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning Ryan. How significant is this a
- 11:54Speaker 3: privately funded spacewalk?
- 11:57Speaker 7: Yeah, well, there's been quite a lot of i'll say
- 12:00Speaker 7: advances in private space space tourism over the past five
- 12:04Speaker 7: or ten years, I guess so, and each mission has
- 12:08Speaker 7: been progressing. So getting outside the capsule is actually quite
- 12:11Speaker 7: a big achievement. You know, there's quite a lot of
- 12:14Speaker 7: danger involved with it, and yeah, technically I think it's
- 12:18Speaker 7: quite a big achievement, and you know, it progresses things
- 12:22Speaker 7: for SpaceX and for humanity space I guess quite a
- 12:26Speaker 7: long way in that SpaceX want to go to Mars,
- 12:30Speaker 7: and space suits and the space walk type you know,
- 12:33Speaker 7: is all part of it.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Yeah, the space suit that they're wearing a lot of
- 12:37Speaker 3: talk about that slim down it's almost like a wetsuit.
- 12:40Speaker 3: It's that title their body nowhere near as bulky is
- 12:42Speaker 3: the NASA ones we're used to seeing, right.
- 12:45Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, And I mean the space suit's quite you know,
- 12:48Speaker 7: quite critical. We obviously think about the I say that
- 12:51Speaker 7: the breathing environment that it obviously provides, but the thermal
- 12:54Speaker 7: environment in space is quite extreme and regulating temperature that
- 13:00Speaker 7: has no air around the outside of the suit is
- 13:03Speaker 7: quite critical. So testing that out is you know, quite
- 13:06Speaker 7: a significant step forward. And making it easier for astronauts
- 13:10Speaker 7: to do work outside of capsules with a smaller suit
- 13:14Speaker 7: is something they want about to do, to do different things,
- 13:17Speaker 7: to say on the Moon, mining and things like that
- 13:20Speaker 7: that they want about to get to.
- 13:22Speaker 3: He won't say how much he's spent to get up there.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Do you have any idea of what it would cost
- 13:27Speaker 3: to do something like this?
- 13:30Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I don't know, And I mean he's put
- 13:34Speaker 7: together quite a program, so you know he's going to
- 13:37Speaker 7: be spending a lot of money. But yeah, it certainly
- 13:40Speaker 7: you know, tens of hundreds of millions of dollars I
- 13:41Speaker 7: would expect, I mean a satellite launch just a Falcon
- 13:45Speaker 7: nine launches, you know, in the order of well, let's
- 13:47Speaker 7: say some around about one hundred million new zelland dollars,
- 13:50Speaker 7: so and a manned launches is a lot.
- 13:53Speaker 3: More than that. Just finally, there are currently nineteen people
- 13:57Speaker 3: in space, which is apparently a record number. How many
- 14:00Speaker 3: is the crowd? Do you reckon up there?
- 14:03Speaker 2: Well?
- 14:04Speaker 7: I think it's only going to start to increase. You
- 14:05Speaker 7: know that there's a lot more stuff that people want
- 14:08Speaker 7: to do in space. As I say, you know, NASA
- 14:10Speaker 7: going to the Moon, and it was soon in a
- 14:13Speaker 7: year or two time that that program's drifting a little bit,
- 14:15Speaker 7: but you know they want to populate the Moon and
- 14:18Speaker 7: obviously use that as a stepping stone for getting to Mars.
- 14:21Speaker 7: So yeah, this is only going to be the start
- 14:24Speaker 7: of you know, a lot more people in space and
- 14:26Speaker 7: a lot more different places in space as well.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Fascinating stuff. Chris, thank you very much for that. Chris Jackson,
- 14:31Speaker 3: University of Auckland head of Space Operations twenty four after
- 14:34Speaker 3: five Ryan Bridge. Interestingly, it was a Soviet Alexei Leonov
- 14:38Speaker 3: back in nineteen sixty five, on the eighteenth of March,
- 14:41Speaker 3: the first person ever to walk in space, way back
- 14:45Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty five. Isn't it incredible what they could
- 14:48Speaker 3: do back then? He was a Soviet, so of course
- 14:50Speaker 3: that wouldn't have gone down well in America. He spent
- 14:52Speaker 3: twelve minutes up there, and get this, as we go
- 14:56Speaker 3: to the break, his suit inflated while he was outside
- 15:01Speaker 3: of the craft. His suit inflated in the vacuum of space,
- 15:05Speaker 3: and he couldn't fit back in the door. You know
- 15:08Speaker 3: when you sometimes you eat so much you can't get
- 15:11Speaker 3: you can't get back in the doorway. That happened to
- 15:13Speaker 3: him in space. He had to manually release the year
- 15:18Speaker 3: from his spacesuit.

- 15:25Speaker 3: Karmala Harris was wearing audio earrings during the debate this week.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Did you hear about this? Yeah, she was cheating. They
- 15:31Speaker 3: looked like pearl earrings, but they also looked like audio earrings.
- 15:37Speaker 3: You can buy them and you can have your staff
- 15:40Speaker 3: feed you information and in real time during a debate,
- 15:43Speaker 3: they can coach you live. Yeah, it's real. I read
- 15:46Speaker 3: it on the Internet. And that's the problem, isn't it.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Some corners of the Internet there are you know, there's
- 15:51Speaker 3: the dog duck immigrant conspiracy thing, there's the transmigrant prisoner
- 15:56Speaker 3: sexchange thing, and now there's the Carmela Earrings Aids thing. Misinformation, disinformation, conspiracies,
- 16:04Speaker 3: whatever they are, they seem to be everywhere at the moment.
- 16:06Speaker 3: KRMLA Harris is pushing the conspiracies too. You remember she
- 16:09Speaker 3: said during the debate that Trump would implement Project twenty
- 16:11Speaker 3: twenty five if elected. He says he won't. Isn't that
- 16:15Speaker 3: the same thing? Just lies, just making stuff up? Don't
- 16:19Speaker 3: get me wrong. I do love a good conspiracy, specially
- 16:23Speaker 3: the bizarre ones you get out of the States, but
- 16:25Speaker 3: I would never go nuts online trying to prove one.
- 16:28Speaker 3: The Internet's screwed our brains in that way. What would
- 16:31Speaker 3: have once just been a word of mouth, rumor or
- 16:32Speaker 3: gossip now spreads and presents itself as real news and
- 16:35Speaker 3: has lapped up by millions of people. The biggest problem,
- 16:38Speaker 3: I reckon we have two cohorts of Internet users ones
- 16:41Speaker 3: who lived before the most of their lives without the Internet,
- 16:44Speaker 3: and they place a lot of faith and trust in
- 16:46Speaker 3: what's being written and said, because that's how we used
- 16:48Speaker 3: to operate, remember, And then there are those who are
- 16:51Speaker 3: URL natives who know full well the absolute crap and
- 16:55Speaker 3: the shite that you get online. Which is not to
- 16:58Speaker 3: say it's a generational thing, because people at both things
- 17:00Speaker 3: can get caught out. But we are supposedly living right
- 17:04Speaker 3: now in the enlightened age where the Internet would democratize
- 17:07Speaker 3: information make it accessible to all of us. We'd all
- 17:11Speaker 3: be better informed and better off with all the knowledge
- 17:13Speaker 3: of human history available at the click of a finger.
- 17:17Speaker 3: And what have we done with it? Cats, dogs, ducks
- 17:22Speaker 3: and audio airrings. Twenty nine after.

- 18:42Speaker 3: using lots of coal to fill our energy void at
- 18:45Speaker 3: the moment. Ryan, your guest said that we shouldn't get
- 18:50Speaker 3: stuff from underground for power i e. Coal, but solar
- 18:53Speaker 3: panels will need mining for the materials. Ryan, with so
- 18:58Speaker 3: many very high apartment blos now, I'm just wondering, is
- 19:01Speaker 3: it only the people on the top floor who can
- 19:03Speaker 3: get a solar panel? I think sarcastically asks Lee, and
- 19:08Speaker 3: Michael says, Ryan, it sounds like your guest just wants
- 19:11Speaker 3: to drive rents up even further. Insulation and solar panels
- 19:15Speaker 3: don't come cheap. Brian Bridge reporters Cullum prop to first
- 19:21Speaker 3: and toned and Culum. Good morning Otaga University students. I'll
- 19:25Speaker 3: let you explain this one. It sounds a little bit creepy. Yeah, look,
- 19:31Speaker 3: morning Ryan.
- 19:31Speaker 9: The university yesterday acknowledged that there have been several cases
- 19:34Speaker 9: of medical students acting inappropriately with cadavers and human remains
- 19:40Speaker 9: over the past three years, and like the university, the
- 19:44Speaker 9: Students Association is disappointed with the actions of these students.
- 19:49Speaker 9: In fact, they've been issued a stern request from the
- 19:53Speaker 9: association's president, that is Keigan Well.
- 19:56Speaker 3: She says.
- 19:56Speaker 9: The students need to understand human remains are important to
- 20:00Speaker 9: many cultures. She says, while this was only a small
- 20:02Speaker 9: minority of students to blame, those two blame need to
- 20:06Speaker 9: consider the mala their futures.
- 20:08Speaker 3: Ats doctors carry do we know? Do we have any
- 20:11Speaker 3: idea what they actually did with them? Bodies? Not specifically? Okay,
- 20:17Speaker 3: probably best we don't. I guess house. The weather today Cullum.
- 20:20Speaker 9: Yeah, occasional rain snow possible to three hundred meters today.
- 20:23Speaker 9: Thanks so a cold one easterly is developing this afternoon.
- 20:28Speaker 3: Oh I think we might have lost column there. Thank
- 20:29Speaker 3: you Cullum. Let's go to Claire Sheward who's in christ Church. Clear,
- 20:33Speaker 3: good morning. You get to suffer as well. Round the
- 20:35Speaker 3: Bays is coming to Canterbury.
- 20:37Speaker 10: I don't know if I'll be putting my hand up Ryan,
- 20:39Speaker 10: but look, the popular North Island Round the Bays is
- 20:41Speaker 10: headed south. This allows people to run, walk or stroll
- 20:45Speaker 10: along christ Church's coastline, all for a good cause. This
- 20:48Speaker 10: will happen for us in February. It's the second of
- 20:51Speaker 10: hebri Actually the good news is it will be superhero
- 20:53Speaker 10: themed and it's an eight point four kilometer course. It
- 20:57Speaker 10: runs from the estuary to the New Write and Pier.
- 20:59Speaker 10: I'm told they're a fast or a scenic route on offer.
- 21:02Speaker 10: Event director Henry mclernen says that it's all about donating
- 21:07Speaker 10: money to the Make a Wish Foundation. The plan is
- 21:09Speaker 10: to generate six wishes from across the country, with two
- 21:12Speaker 10: being awarded to people inside the Canterbury region.
- 21:16Speaker 3: On that sounds good and weather today, Claire.
- 21:19Speaker 10: Rainy and cold here as well. After a nice day yesterday,
- 21:21Speaker 10: the southerleis will turn easterly this afternoon, only nine degrees.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Brilliant, Thank you and Max's in Wellington this morning, Max.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Community work in supervision for a man who assaulted police.
- 21:32Speaker 8: Yeah morning Ryan. Twenty nine year old Stephen Richards was
- 21:35Speaker 8: sentenced in the hut Valley District Court yesterday after a
- 21:39Speaker 8: run in with police.
- 21:40Speaker 3: This was last July.
- 21:41Speaker 8: The cops pulled over a car. Richards was in the
- 21:44Speaker 8: passenger side and when the officer went around to speak
- 21:47Speaker 8: to him, he reached into his trousers and then shoved
- 21:50Speaker 8: his hand into the officer's face, rubbed it and asked
- 21:54Speaker 8: how his nether region smelled. Not in those words. He
- 21:57Speaker 8: was recording the interaction at the same time, so that's assaults,
- 22:02Speaker 8: not amusing for the police officer.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Of course.
- 22:05Speaker 8: He was also sentenced at the same time yesterday in
- 22:07Speaker 8: court for breaking someone else's nose in a different incidents.
- 22:10Speaker 3: So clearly a bad egg.
- 22:12Speaker 8: The judge told him he was lucky to be receiving,
- 22:14Speaker 8: as you say, community work instead of detention and twelve
- 22:18Speaker 8: months of supervision.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Thank you. Max. Hou's the weather in Wellington.
- 22:23Speaker 8: Today mostly cloudy, a few showers, a strong northerlyast fourteen
- 22:28Speaker 8: the high.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Thank you neighbors and Auckland, good morning.
- 22:31Speaker 6: You were so good there.
- 22:32Speaker 3: I thought you were going to laugh.
- 22:34Speaker 6: Now you're very very proficional.
- 22:36Speaker 3: That's not doing as You can't laugh at something like that.
- 22:38Speaker 3: That's a police that's there's fensive and an insulting and
- 22:42Speaker 3: assaulting for a police officer, that's right.
- 22:44Speaker 6: I mean, who would do that? I mean, I mean
- 22:46Speaker 6: there were stupid people.
- 22:48Speaker 8: There are stupid.
- 22:49Speaker 3: People are We wouldn't do that. We wouldn't do that.
- 22:51Speaker 3: And besides, it never smells nicely down there, looking for
- 23:02Speaker 3: smells lovely Happy Friday Friday. Hey water care this big
- 23:08Speaker 3: tunnel boring machine that's going on.
- 23:10Speaker 6: Here that doesn't smell very good either. Well, look what's
- 23:14Speaker 6: happened is that? Get it together neither. This machine now
- 23:18Speaker 6: has completed three quarters of its journey. This is between
- 23:22Speaker 6: Auckland's Mangety and point Erin that's in Herne Bay. So
- 23:26Speaker 6: it's broken ground at Western Springs. Now that was originally
- 23:30Speaker 6: I just like saying, there's Central Interceptor's final destination. But
- 23:34Speaker 6: then the project was extended. So the sixteen point two
- 23:37Speaker 6: kilometer tunnel will collect waste storm water. It's going to
- 23:40Speaker 6: take it to Mungkety Wastewater Treatment Plant or good or
- 23:42Speaker 6: good and it's expected to significantly improve all the water
- 23:46Speaker 6: quality the beaches and waterways and reduce eighty percent of
- 23:49Speaker 6: wet weather overflows. So that's all good. So that project
- 23:52Speaker 6: is set to be finished by twenty twenty six.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Okay, it's actually coming on schedule, that project. I'm watching
- 23:57Speaker 3: it closely. It's near my house, so I am all right.
- 24:03Speaker 6: Is he a lot of noise down?
- 24:04Speaker 3: There has been a lot of noise and they're doing
- 24:06Speaker 3: these big shafts, airshafts that come out of it, and
- 24:08Speaker 3: I'm just worried that it might there might be some
- 24:11Speaker 3: pong once, right, you know what I mean.
- 24:12Speaker 6: It's all about smell today certainly.
- 24:15Speaker 3: How's the weather today?
- 24:16Speaker 6: Cloudy, chance of an afternoon shower. Eighteen is the high
- 24:18Speaker 6: here in Auckland.
- 24:19Speaker 3: Brilliant. We're live to the UK with our correspondent.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Next International Correspondents with ends and eye insurance, Peace of
- 24:26Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business Quarter to.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Six News Talk to be Happy Friday. One of our
- 24:31Speaker 3: listeners is on the ground near Lake Hayes. Right now
- 24:33Speaker 3: in Queenstown, close to ten centimeters of snow has fallen
- 24:37Speaker 3: and still falling at the moment. Are we're talking to
- 24:40Speaker 3: nurses next about Shane Etty's health targets right now. Vincent
- 24:43Speaker 3: macaviny Ore, UK Europe Correspondent. Vincent. The TV Awards last
- 24:46Speaker 3: night and mister Bates and the post office did quite well. Yeah,
- 24:50Speaker 3: that's right.
- 24:50Speaker 11: The National Television Awards here celebrating British productions and mister
- 24:54Speaker 11: Bates versus the post Office has been the biggest drama
- 24:57Speaker 11: here in the UK. I think it will be available
- 24:59Speaker 11: on Brittbot in New Zealand. And it was the story
- 25:02Speaker 11: told in three parts of what happened here in the
- 25:05Speaker 11: last twenty five years to our post office. This computer
- 25:08Speaker 11: system came in that gave false accounts and so many
- 25:11Speaker 11: of our sub postmasters, the people in your local community
- 25:14Speaker 11: running post offices, ended up being fired, losing their businesses,
- 25:18Speaker 11: some went to prison, some took their own lives. It
- 25:20Speaker 11: was a real disaster, now being described as the biggest
- 25:23Speaker 11: miscarriage in justice in British history. There has been attempts
- 25:27Speaker 11: since the drama went out to try and compensate as
- 25:30Speaker 11: much as possible those affected in it, and that has
- 25:33Speaker 11: been the case. Some of them have received funds. But
- 25:36Speaker 11: last night one of those depicted in the drama, Joe Hamilton,
- 25:39Speaker 11: a real subpostmistress, said to them that despite the change
- 25:43Speaker 11: in government in recent weeks, she's had meetings in Westminster
- 25:46Speaker 11: and still not enough of being done to fix this.
- 25:48Speaker 11: So it just shows really the power of drama to
- 25:51Speaker 11: make change when there has been a real miscarriage.
- 25:54Speaker 3: The big tall hits that the King's Guards were at
- 25:56Speaker 3: Backingham Palus. How much do they cost?
- 25:59Speaker 11: Well, they are two thousand pounds each.
- 26:02Speaker 3: They are made from real bear.
- 26:04Speaker 11: Fur, and in the past decade it's been revealed that
- 26:07Speaker 11: they cost about a million pounds and so there is
- 26:10Speaker 11: an argument now coming from Peter of course, the animal
- 26:13Speaker 11: rights group that they are against the fur and principle
- 26:16Speaker 11: because of animal cruelty. There's also saying a lot of
- 26:19Speaker 11: people saying that these are hugely expensive.
- 26:22Speaker 3: They are, of course though iconic.
- 26:23Speaker 11: If you've ever been to Bucking Palace and seen the
- 26:27Speaker 11: King's Guards marching performing, they are quite startling these hats.
- 26:31Speaker 11: But the military is saying that they've tried looking at alternatives,
- 26:34Speaker 11: non fur versions, but they didn't meet the same safety
- 26:37Speaker 11: and durability considerations. I'm not quite sure about that. These
- 26:41Speaker 11: are decorative items. These aren't things that they wear into battle.
- 26:43Speaker 11: It's not like they need to be tested for sort
- 26:45Speaker 11: of all kinds of real conditions, although of course they
- 26:49Speaker 11: have to be pretty warterproof here in London. But we'll
- 26:51Speaker 11: see whether or not they get those changed.
- 26:53Speaker 3: Yeah, and warm, I would think too. Thanks so much
- 26:55Speaker 3: for that, Vincent mcavini are UK correspondent r and Bridge
- 26:59Speaker 3: Rich get our first glimpse of how the health sector
- 27:02Speaker 3: is performing and meeting the government's targets by Christmas. The
- 27:06Speaker 3: Health Minister, Doctor Shane at Etti, released more detail on
- 27:09Speaker 3: them yesterday.
- 27:10Speaker 7: These are ambitious targets and what I've said before is
- 27:13Speaker 7: that a number of these targets were hard for the
- 27:14Speaker 7: previous government.
- 27:15Speaker 2: You know they're going to be hard for me too.
- 27:17Speaker 3: So currently Health New Zealand will have to find the
- 27:20Speaker 3: funding within baselines to do this, and there are some groups,
- 27:24Speaker 3: specialist groups who disagree. I think that that's wrong. Katie
- 27:27Speaker 3: Nookho is with us US in New Zeala Nurses Organization
- 27:29Speaker 3: President Kerrie good morning, good morning, Thanks for being with us.
- 27:35Speaker 3: What is your issue with these targets and the way
- 27:37Speaker 3: they're going about doing them.
- 27:40Speaker 4: Well, it seems to be that it's fine to have
- 27:42Speaker 4: ambitious plans, but if you don't have the people and
- 27:45Speaker 4: the resources to implement it, then any good plan will fail.
- 27:49Speaker 4: And this is what it seems to be that we're
- 27:52Speaker 4: seeing here.
- 27:53Speaker 3: Do how when you say we don't have the resources,
- 27:55Speaker 3: you're talking about.
- 27:56Speaker 7: Nurses, the whole workforce.
- 28:00Speaker 4: It's not just nurses that have said that we're understaffed
- 28:02Speaker 4: and the health system is chronically underfunded. It is doctors,
- 28:05Speaker 4: it is visios, that is the rest of the health workforce.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Is it not good to have a target just to have,
- 28:13Speaker 3: you know, as you say, have something to aspire to?
- 28:17Speaker 4: And look, I think we agree with what the minister said.
- 28:19Speaker 4: He said that every dollar spent on health is precious.
- 28:23Speaker 4: But the government health target measures process, not outcomes, and
- 28:27Speaker 4: they're centered mainly around waiting this and access and flow
- 28:31Speaker 4: through the system. But if we fail to look at
- 28:35Speaker 4: the reasons for the blockages and the chokash points and
- 28:37Speaker 4: the delays within the systems now, which is workforce and resourcing,
- 28:42Speaker 4: then we're going to fail to execute any ambitious targets.
- 28:45Speaker 4: And that is the problem here. We've had a system
- 28:47Speaker 4: that's being chronically underfunded for years and chronically understaffed.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Our nursing vacancy though is down from twelve to fifteen
- 28:56Speaker 3: percent to six percent.
- 28:59Speaker 4: That is what the government is saying. That is not
- 29:02Speaker 4: the reality of what nurses are feeling on the work
- 29:05Speaker 4: front and the patients engagements, the higher work rates. That
- 29:11Speaker 4: is not the picture that our nurses in reality that
- 29:14Speaker 4: are going to work every day face.
- 29:15Speaker 3: But surely that stats don't lie, do they.
- 29:19Speaker 4: Well, Nor do our nurses that are on the front
- 29:22Speaker 4: line and seeing these really high turnover of patient Have.
- 29:25Speaker 3: We ever had a safe level of nurses in New Zealand?
- 29:29Speaker 4: No, And that's part of the problem, right, We've never
- 29:31Speaker 4: had like internationally they're introducing what's called nurse to patient ratios.
- 29:36Speaker 4: We've never had that type of approach which will set
- 29:39Speaker 4: a standard around how many nurses per patients in the
- 29:43Speaker 4: work place do we need. That's the push, that's the
- 29:47Speaker 4: direction that our organization is saying for the government, let's
- 29:49Speaker 4: start to look at implementation around safe nurse to patient
- 29:53Speaker 4: ratio standards.
- 29:54Speaker 3: All right, Kerrie, thank you very much for your time
- 29:56Speaker 3: this morning. Really appreciate. That's Kerrie Niku, the Nurses Organization,
- 30:01Speaker 3: a president with US. Just gone nine minutes away from six.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, take.
- 30:09Speaker 3: Lots more to come here on News Talk CB Mike
- 30:12Speaker 3: Hoskins in the studio next. Very quickly. You would have
- 30:15Speaker 3: seen food prices yesterday increasing point four percent annually and
- 30:19Speaker 3: people are celebrating like that's a good thing. They're still
- 30:24Speaker 3: going up, aren't they. You know your food is still
- 30:26Speaker 3: going up. It's not negative. It's not deflation. It's disinflation
- 30:31Speaker 3: where the rate of increase slows. But here's the thing.
- 30:34Speaker 3: If you haven't had a pay increase, then you are
- 30:38Speaker 3: still struggling to pay for your food and your grocery,
- 30:42Speaker 3: struggling to put food in your mouth, don't you. They
- 30:45Speaker 3: say what goes up must come down, but that's clearly
- 30:47Speaker 3: a lie.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Hell the first word on the News of the Day
- 31:03Speaker 2: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
- 31:07Speaker 2: Furniture Beds and a play a Store News Talks.
- 31:09Speaker 3: They'd be six to six news talks. It'd be great
- 31:12Speaker 3: to have your company. New research published this morning. This
- 31:15Speaker 3: is in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.
- 31:18Speaker 3: It says Basically, if your teenager starts vaping, they are
- 31:23Speaker 3: five times more likely to then try smoking, and it
- 31:26Speaker 3: gets worse. The younger you are, the worse your odds.
- 31:29Speaker 3: So twelve year olds who had vaped were twenty nine
- 31:33Speaker 3: times more likely to go and try smoking than twelve
- 31:37Speaker 3: year olds who hadn't vaped. Jeez, with stats like that,
- 31:40Speaker 3: you might as well start straight on the durries like
- 31:42Speaker 3: the good old days. You don't when you go behind
- 31:44Speaker 3: the bike sheds and Grandma tells you everyone us to
- 31:46Speaker 3: gun smoke. Anyway, probably not a good idea of five
- 31:49Speaker 3: to six, Ryan Bridge, Mike's here, Good morning, Mike Morning.
- 31:53Speaker 12: Philippa did that work and she's on the program after
- 31:56Speaker 12: seven o'clock. Brilliant, So we'll do something about that.
- 31:59Speaker 3: It stands to reason, isn't it. I mean, if you're
- 32:01Speaker 3: if you're younger, you're more impressionable.
- 32:02Speaker 12: But they still they still argue it's a cessation tool.
- 32:05Speaker 12: I'm not convinced that it's anyway. Quick question for you, Yeah,
- 32:07Speaker 12: what would it need to cost for a spacewalk.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Before you before I do it? Well, I mean that
- 32:14Speaker 3: is it a cost thing or not? Really? Well, as
- 32:16Speaker 3: you know, I don't have carpet in my non existent garage.
- 32:19Speaker 12: So let's say things have improved and you've got some carpet,
- 32:22Speaker 12: and you've done and you've done the Rehino's and you
- 32:24Speaker 12: find yourself in a position where the key we save
- 32:26Speaker 12: has done well and you're a little bit of extra.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Kay. How much would I pay to get up there?
- 32:30Speaker 3: Would you go?
- 32:30Speaker 8: At all?
- 32:31Speaker 3: Yeah? I would love to go. You'd love to go.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I would love to go. Fifty grand?
- 32:37Speaker 12: So you'd pay fifty thousand dollars?
- 32:39Speaker 3: How much would you pay?
- 32:40Speaker 12: I wouldn't pay anything, wouldn't go.
- 32:41Speaker 3: You wouldn't go.
- 32:42Speaker 5: Do you know?
- 32:42Speaker 12: Do you know what I think it is? It's it's
- 32:44Speaker 12: I don't want to be killed you I think it's
- 32:45Speaker 12: it like the Antarctic used to be a place that
- 32:47Speaker 12: only the experts when and Everest used to be a
- 32:49Speaker 12: place you had to be a mountaineer, whereas now you
- 32:51Speaker 12: can just buy your way into.
- 32:52Speaker 3: See, I've been to Antarctica, so I'm just of course
- 32:55Speaker 3: you have, you know, I mean they're basically flying started Noway?
- 32:58Speaker 12: Is it worth it?
- 32:59Speaker 3: It was? It was an incredible experience. I went down
- 33:02Speaker 3: there with John Kee when I was you know, following
- 33:04Speaker 3: am around in the press pack. Actually, do you know
- 33:06Speaker 3: who else came with us? Terry Soaper and all there.
- 33:10Speaker 3: I was stuck in the bunk room with Barry Soaper,
- 33:12Speaker 3: no one snoring.
- 33:14Speaker 12: Has day for God's sake.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Also, you know how it's light year round down there.
- 33:20Speaker 3: They didn't have fully closable blackout curtains no way. So
- 33:23Speaker 3: I've got Barry snoring, I've got light coming in, and
- 33:26Speaker 3: I'm thinking rather go to space.
- 33:28Speaker 12: They would have had to have paid me to go
- 33:30Speaker 12: and put up with that experience. But anyway, we'll be
- 33:32Speaker 12: talking about that of course this morning.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Quite an achievement for a private enterprise. I reckon ye.
- 33:37Speaker 3: All right, MICA's with the next have a fantastic week
- 33:39Speaker 3: in everybody. I will see you again on Monday.
