Speaker 2: Roman at Newstalks THEREB dot CO, dot NZ and the
1:04
Speaker 2: text here is nine two nine two seven past five.
1:09
Speaker 1: The agenda.
1:10
Speaker 2: South Korea's and peach president have been charged with insurrection
1:13
Speaker 2: following his short lived declaration of martial law late last year.
1:17
Speaker 3: Criminal charges that could put him to death or jail
1:22
Speaker 3: for life if convicted, now separate from criminal judicial proceedings.
1:27
Speaker 3: The Constitutional Court is now deliberating whether to formally dismiss
1:32
Speaker 3: you and as president or to reinstate him.
1:36
Speaker 2: Lebanese authorities say Israeli forces have killed fifteen people in
1:40
Speaker 2: the country south as this deadline for there withdrawal passes.
1:43
Speaker 2: A US broken ceasefire was agreed to last year, halting
1:47
Speaker 2: fighting between Israel and Hezbola. Israel says it will keep
1:51
Speaker 2: troops in Lebanon beyond the ceasefire, adding they fired warning
1:54
Speaker 2: shots to remove threats in a number of areas. A
1:57
Speaker 2: nineteen year old has died in Scotland after a tree
2:00
Speaker 2: on his car during storm Aowin. Scotland's first Prime minister
2:04
Speaker 2: says people have heeded travel warnings.
2:06
Speaker 4: The road traffic estimates in the central belt of Scotland
2:09
Speaker 4: today and the trunk road network are essentially about eighty
2:13
Speaker 4: percent lower than they would be on an average Friday.
2:17
Speaker 4: So by making giving the announcements that we gave, by
2:20
Speaker 4: indicating that it was unsafe to travel, the police advised
2:24
Speaker 4: people not to travel by closing schools, which significantly reduced
2:28
Speaker 4: the risks to members of the public.
2:31
Speaker 2: Two people have died in the storm. The CIA says
2:34
Speaker 2: it believes COVID is more likely to have been leaked
2:37
Speaker 2: from a lab in China than to have originated naturally,
2:41
Speaker 2: and then counter that assessment by saying it has low
2:44
Speaker 2: confidence in it. Okay. The decision to release the assessment
2:48
Speaker 2: is one of the first may by Trump's appointed CIA
2:51
Speaker 2: director John Ratcliffe.
2:54
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Fromman Travers
2:58
Speaker 1: and One Room Make Your Property Research Simple News Dogs.
3:01
Speaker 2: That'd be nine past five. Look, I know this is
3:04
Speaker 2: going to sound like I'm having a crack at the
3:06
Speaker 2: Wellington City Council again, and that's because I am. Wellington
3:10
Speaker 2: City Council have adopted this national trend that you see
3:14
Speaker 2: more and more of celebrating mediocrity. When things go tits up,
3:18
Speaker 2: you can rest assured that there's always a public relations
3:21
Speaker 2: machine sitting there, idling away, just waiting to be put
3:24
Speaker 2: into gear flat out down the road of self gratification
3:28
Speaker 2: with perception bending power steering. And here's an example of that.
3:32
Speaker 2: Wellington's ongoing efforts to address water infrastructure woes have reached
3:36
Speaker 2: a milestone, with the region's number of leaky pipes dropping
3:39
Speaker 2: under four hundred for the first time in four years.
3:42
Speaker 2: Wellington met Tory Farno says that the decrease in leeks
3:46
Speaker 2: was a huge relief. She thinks that water infrastructure seems
3:50
Speaker 2: like a big problem, and it is, but when you
3:53
Speaker 2: start seeing those winds, it reminds you that actually prioritizing them,
3:57
Speaker 2: investing in the money and getting that spent, what's the
4:00
Speaker 2: right thing to do. Really. Tory Farno also says that
4:04
Speaker 2: they have over three thousand kilometers of pipes to replace,
4:07
Speaker 2: so it's going to take a long time. Look, I
4:09
Speaker 2: realized that a council inherited not only a hospital pass
4:12
Speaker 2: of problems, more like a complete health system of paths
4:16
Speaker 2: of problems, complete with seemingly never ending issues. But to
4:19
Speaker 2: find absolutely positively positivity in Wellington's issues is just an
4:24
Speaker 2: entire pr machine proving to you and I that they're
4:27
Speaker 2: hard at work. Let me know what your thoughts are
4:30
Speaker 2: on that, especially if you're in Wellington struggling with your
4:33
Speaker 2: water quality or your ability to flush the tour that
4:35
Speaker 2: not see the contents on Courtney Place. And just a
4:38
Speaker 2: few moments I'll be speaking with the Treaty Principles Bill.
4:41
Speaker 2: What are the key people involved with that? Lady turt
4:43
Speaker 2: Moxon and her thoughts as She'll be making a submission
4:46
Speaker 2: with the oral submissions today. Ten past five. It's early
4:49
Speaker 2: edition used talk sad.
4:50
Speaker 1: B, News and views You trust to start your day.
4:54
Speaker 1: It's a billy edition with Roman travers and one roof.
4:58
Speaker 1: Make your property search simple, you talk to me.
5:01
Speaker 2: Thirteen past five. Well Oral hearings for the Treaty Principal's
5:05
Speaker 2: Bill get underway today, marking the start of eighty hours
5:08
Speaker 2: worth of hearings over the course of a month. The
5:10
Speaker 2: total number of online submissions received isn't known yet as
5:14
Speaker 2: processing continues. Author of the bill and at party leader
5:18
Speaker 2: David Seymour will be the first to give his submission
5:21
Speaker 2: later this morning. A total of fifty oral submissions will
5:24
Speaker 2: be heard on day one. Lady turt Et Moxon is
5:28
Speaker 2: the managing director of tair Kahul Health and we'll be
5:31
Speaker 2: speaking at Parliament later this morning, and she joins me, now,
5:34
Speaker 2: a very good morning to you, Very good morning to
5:37
Speaker 2: you too. Look, thanks so much for getting up early
5:39
Speaker 2: in joining us. What are you expecting today? How are
5:42
Speaker 2: you expecting things to go?
5:45
Speaker 5: Well? I think it should go pretty smoothly. I think
5:48
Speaker 5: they've got a lot to do. But our submission is
5:52
Speaker 5: basically we're saying what what we believe needs to happen
5:55
Speaker 5: in terms of this bill and the fact that we
5:58
Speaker 5: reject it, both reaching out and oppose it.
6:02
Speaker 2: So it's been a heck of a process, hasn't How
6:04
Speaker 2: have you found the process to get to this point?
6:08
Speaker 5: Well, it has been a heck of a process. And
6:11
Speaker 5: the worst of it is there's a waste of time
6:13
Speaker 5: simply because labor are sorry, national and and you said
6:18
Speaker 5: these have both said that they weren't they weren't they
6:22
Speaker 5: weren't supported beyond this process. Well, how ridiculous is that?
6:26
Speaker 5: Why would you put us through that process? Is that
6:29
Speaker 5: if you have no intention of supporting it going forward?
6:33
Speaker 5: So you know, we're pleased about that, don't get me wrong,
6:36
Speaker 5: But I'm sure we can be spending a lot of that,
6:41
Speaker 5: all that money and all that time and resource aren't
6:43
Speaker 5: better things.
6:44
Speaker 2: Okay, well, there's a fair point. I think you're making
6:46
Speaker 2: a good point. So what is the point and you're
6:49
Speaker 2: making a submission today with a bill that's going nowhere.
6:53
Speaker 5: Well, simply because we must be heard, and you'll find
6:57
Speaker 5: that the other people behind me or for you know
7:00
Speaker 5: that other people behind me will feel the same way.
7:03
Speaker 5: And you know, you've got to remember too that we
7:06
Speaker 5: had the largest protests in the country in terms of
7:13
Speaker 5: the Treaty Principles Bill, and so you know, forty two
7:17
Speaker 5: thousand people got out and spoke to their feet. So
7:21
Speaker 5: you know, I actually think that there is it's important
7:25
Speaker 5: to be able to see to them and all of
7:31
Speaker 5: those yet to come in our future that we try
7:34
Speaker 5: to do something.
7:36
Speaker 2: Do you think it, Well, look, it's a fair point,
7:38
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people would love to
7:40
Speaker 2: be there listening to what's going on, or maybe not.
7:43
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think there was widely a
7:46
Speaker 2: misinterpretation of what the Treaty Principal's Bill was wanting to achieve?
7:49
Speaker 2: Do you think it was widely misunderstood by the majority
7:52
Speaker 2: of people?
7:54
Speaker 5: Well, I think for a lot number of people who
7:59
Speaker 5: do not understand what truly means and has no understanding
8:03
Speaker 5: of what history history of this country is or even
8:09
Speaker 5: the plight of Maori in our country. I would say, very,
8:13
Speaker 5: very categorically, it's a lot of people who have put
8:15
Speaker 5: in submissions, will have submitted have a misunderstanding of what
8:21
Speaker 5: it means.
8:22
Speaker 2: I know you're going to be speaking very early this morning.
8:24
Speaker 2: I think you're on at eight thirty this morning, aren't.
8:26
Speaker 6: You that's correct?
8:27
Speaker 2: Yes, Can you give us a little bit of a
8:29
Speaker 2: taster about what you'll be saying.
8:32
Speaker 5: Well, definitely, I'll be saying that we're we rejected and
8:35
Speaker 5: opposed the at the and also I think that that
8:42
Speaker 5: it should be rejected and opposed by the Select Committee.
8:46
Speaker 5: But more over than that than not, I really think
8:50
Speaker 5: that that you know the that this is a breach
8:54
Speaker 5: of to three to your white tonguey and.
8:57
Speaker 6: And it will it will be a breach forever no
9:02
Speaker 6: matter how they try to reinterpret the principles and pretty
9:08
Speaker 6: basically take over.
9:09
Speaker 5: From from the court. You know, there's a difference between
9:13
Speaker 5: the court's interpreting this, you know, the principles from the acts.
9:20
Speaker 5: You know, government react ax and the court's interpret the
9:26
Speaker 5: acts and the police enforce the acts. So here we are.
9:30
Speaker 5: We've got a government to trying to do both.
9:32
Speaker 2: Lady turdyt Mox and thank you so much for your
9:35
Speaker 2: time and and all the very best this morning, and
9:36
Speaker 2: it's an early start your submission at eight thirty this morning.
9:39
Speaker 2: Thanks for your time. Let me you know your thoughts
9:41
Speaker 2: on that. Have you got any great feelings about that?
9:43
Speaker 2: The text is nine two ninety two or z b ZB.
9:47
Speaker 2: Let's wrap up the weekend sport with Elliot Smith in
9:49
Speaker 2: just a few moments on Early Edition News Talks thereb
9:52
Speaker 2: eighteen past five.
9:54
Speaker 1: Roman Travers on early edition with one roof make your
9:58
Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, Used.
10:00
Speaker 2: Talk zibby twenty past five. Elliot Smith, He's everywhere, He's
10:03
Speaker 2: everywhere all over the sport. He's our news Talk Zibbie
10:06
Speaker 2: sport expert. And man, there's been some sport this weekend.
10:09
Speaker 7: Hasn't it. Just yeah, this is the collision all the
10:10
Speaker 7: seasons sort of coming together, isn't it. And I suppose
10:13
Speaker 7: you look at the Australian Open final. It was a
10:16
Speaker 7: great time of the year. Two big finals of course
10:19
Speaker 7: over the weekend. The Women's on Saturday night won by
10:21
Speaker 7: Madison Keys, who's been a regular visitor actually to Auckland's
10:25
Speaker 7: through a number of seasons, beating the world number one
10:28
Speaker 7: net Sabalinka and a really really entertaining final two sets
10:32
Speaker 7: to one last night's men's final bit more one way
10:34
Speaker 7: traffic to be honest. Jarick Center, the world number one
10:37
Speaker 7: beating Alexander Verev and in straight sets last night, didn't
10:41
Speaker 7: have it all his own way, but pretty straightforward her.
10:44
Speaker 7: For Jarnick Center, who is the world number one best
10:46
Speaker 7: player in the hard courts at the moment, there is
10:48
Speaker 7: the doping case sort of hanging over him, which is
10:52
Speaker 7: interesting in a fascinating backdrop to his success in recent times.
10:57
Speaker 7: The cream and the massuse and everything like that. The
11:00
Speaker 7: Court of Arbitration for Sport here having an appeal in
11:04
Speaker 7: a couple of months time. But regardless, he is showing
11:08
Speaker 7: what he's capable of. And Zveriev had another crack. It's
11:10
Speaker 7: winning a major. Probably the best player on tour at
11:14
Speaker 7: the moment to have not won a Grand Slam tournament
11:16
Speaker 7: by a Nixon last night to remain just too good.
11:19
Speaker 2: I just had. I'm sorry, but that's a great title
11:21
Speaker 2: for a book, The Cream and the Mississ the Story
11:24
Speaker 2: of Oh my Lord. That's brilliant and some good news
11:27
Speaker 2: for Auckland FC.
11:28
Speaker 7: It was great new It's been a busy week for them,
11:30
Speaker 7: three matches in seven days and they've emerged from that
11:33
Speaker 7: really hectic period at the top of the A League ladder.
11:37
Speaker 7: So this was always going to be a bit of
11:38
Speaker 7: an acid test for them, this new club. They've fallen
11:42
Speaker 7: away a little bit now they've come back up again
11:44
Speaker 7: in a hectic period over the last week. Two wins
11:47
Speaker 7: including last night ninety fifth minutes a fifth minute of
11:50
Speaker 7: at a time against Western Sydney Nada and moreno one
11:53
Speaker 7: of the import players getting the goal one nil, they win,
11:56
Speaker 7: take the three points back. So draw and two wins
11:59
Speaker 7: over the last moves them back to the top of
12:01
Speaker 7: the eight league and they just seem to manage to
12:03
Speaker 7: find a way, which is the really exciting thing about
12:06
Speaker 7: this team. They don't know when they beats and don't
12:08
Speaker 7: know when they're on the cusp of losing a game.
12:10
Speaker 7: They risk it a point earlier in the week. So
12:13
Speaker 7: back to the top of the ladder, which is great
12:14
Speaker 7: news for them.
12:15
Speaker 2: Remen Yeah, it is going from the beautiful game to
12:17
Speaker 2: the very tall, fast game the breakers.
12:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a battling old season for the Breakers,
12:23
Speaker 7: and you can put the calculator away remand the mathematical
12:26
Speaker 7: hopes of their making the playoff are all but over over.
12:30
Speaker 7: They lost last night ninety four seventy eight to Adelaide.
12:33
Speaker 7: It's been a really poor season. They started really strongly,
12:35
Speaker 7: had some personnel changes to their team board, and Tago Fall,
12:39
Speaker 7: who's a two point two seven meter import, just hasn't
12:43
Speaker 7: quite clicked. And with that defeat last night, out of
12:46
Speaker 7: the playoffs and they won't be playing any for the basketball.
12:49
Speaker 7: We've got two more games at home, but won't be
12:51
Speaker 7: making the playoffs.
12:52
Speaker 2: They've got some huge fans though, like literally big fans,
12:55
Speaker 2: a big following, and they make.
12:56
Speaker 7: That and even with the fact that they're out of
12:58
Speaker 7: the playoffs, will still get I think decent crowds for
13:01
Speaker 7: these last two games back at home. I think one's Friday.
13:03
Speaker 7: One might be wi ng You Day potentially, but two
13:06
Speaker 7: games home they'll get a really good credit sparker and
13:08
Speaker 7: for both of those games, regardless of them being out
13:10
Speaker 7: of the pluffs. But we chance look ahead and see
13:13
Speaker 7: how they rebuild for their next campaign and what players
13:16
Speaker 7: they bring, what players are thrown on the scrap heap,
13:19
Speaker 7: as always happens at the end of the breaker season.
13:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, cheers, Elliott, Thank you so much. Elliott Smith from
13:23
Speaker 2: News Talks AIRB Sport. Well, we've had food and schools
13:26
Speaker 2: for a while, haven't we. What's the benefit of having
13:28
Speaker 2: food and schools? Is there enough food in schools? A
13:31
Speaker 2: new study released this morning shows some real issues for
13:35
Speaker 2: our students right across New Zealand and their ability to
13:37
Speaker 2: function at school and perform academically. And I've got some
13:40
Speaker 2: more thoughts on that in just a few minutes twenty
13:42
Speaker 2: three past five. It's early edition news Talks EDB the.
13:45
Speaker 1: Early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
13:49
Speaker 1: News Talks.
13:49
Speaker 2: AB twenty six past five. Although the school holidays are
13:53
Speaker 2: in full swing, still that doesn't mean that the country's
13:56
Speaker 2: children are getting the food they need at home. New
13:58
Speaker 2: Zealand children are still going hungary at school and that
14:01
Speaker 2: means they're going through and ending up years behind other
14:04
Speaker 2: children in key subjects. The data that shows this ongoing
14:07
Speaker 2: issue for us all also ranks New Zealand poorly for
14:11
Speaker 2: food poverty. The health researchers behind this just published analysis
14:15
Speaker 2: argue that government needs to double the number of children
14:18
Speaker 2: served by its newly revamped Lunches in School scheme. It's
14:21
Speaker 2: no surprise that hungary students struggled to learn. Food poverty
14:25
Speaker 2: has been cited as a big barrier in New Zealand's
14:27
Speaker 2: scoring under the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment. A
14:32
Speaker 2: comparison between that and two other global data sets has
14:36
Speaker 2: allowed a team of researchers to look at the link
14:38
Speaker 2: in greater depth. After analyzing food and security levels after
14:43
Speaker 2: subject specific scores, the team prevailed to start trend. Any
14:46
Speaker 2: degree of food and security was associated with much lower
14:50
Speaker 2: academic performance, a pattern that held across all subjects, age
14:54
Speaker 2: groups and surveys. Professor Boyd Swinburn from Auckland University as
14:58
Speaker 2: a co author of the study on referr to, and
15:00
Speaker 2: he says he didn't expect the effect size to be
15:03
Speaker 2: so large. In all, it equated to a learning gap
15:06
Speaker 2: equivalent to hungry students trailing two to four years behind
15:11
Speaker 2: in subjects like maths and reading by age fifteen, and
15:15
Speaker 2: even after adjusting for socioeconomic indicators. Something else born to
15:18
Speaker 2: the study is that there's also a grady in effect.
15:21
Speaker 2: The more severe the food and security, the greater gap
15:24
Speaker 2: in scores compared to kids with no food insecurity. The
15:29
Speaker 2: problem doesn't just affect hungry children finding it harder to
15:32
Speaker 2: concentrate in class, but other factors, including parents keeping their
15:36
Speaker 2: kids home rather than facing stigma at school. It's all
15:40
Speaker 2: very well to blame the state of New Zealand's curriculum
15:43
Speaker 2: or the size of classrooms confronting our teachers, but when
15:46
Speaker 2: you may well address some of the demonstrably poor outcomes
15:49
Speaker 2: shown in the study by simply ensuring that our children
15:52
Speaker 2: are well fed and literally well catered for at school,
15:55
Speaker 2: what on earth are we waiting for? News talks zedby Look,
16:00
Speaker 2: I welcome your feedback on anything you've heard, especially that
16:03
Speaker 2: nine two nine and two, and my email is Roman
16:06
Speaker 2: at Newstalk Zreb dot co dot nz. It does seem
16:10
Speaker 2: really really odd to me that you would spend all
16:14
Speaker 2: this time thinking is it a good idea to be
16:16
Speaker 2: supplying food in school? There's been debates on it for
16:18
Speaker 2: years and years and years. There's a lot of wastage,
16:21
Speaker 2: they don't need it, parents should be supplying it. All
16:24
Speaker 2: of that may be entirely true. Undoubtedly parents should be
16:28
Speaker 2: and traditionally have been providing a cut lunch for you
16:31
Speaker 2: to take to school. It might have been hideous. It
16:33
Speaker 2: might have got warmer and warmer as the day got on,
16:35
Speaker 2: like cheese and marmite sandwiches, which eventually became a version
16:39
Speaker 2: of cheese on toast. But we're seen with the cost
16:42
Speaker 2: of living that more and more families are unable to
16:44
Speaker 2: meet those requirements. So if it's simply a case of
16:47
Speaker 2: increasing a cheap meal for more students at school to
16:51
Speaker 2: enhance their ability to do better, then it makes a
16:54
Speaker 2: whole lot more sense to me. And I'm short wood
16:56
Speaker 2: to you as well nine nine two to text and

Speaker 2: correspondent this morning in just a few moments will be
18:37
Speaker 2: Gail Downey with news out of the UK and Europe
18:40
Speaker 2: as well. Some feedback from you too. Wellington City Council
18:43
Speaker 2: Roman didn't inherit the problems. The Mayor's knew, but the
18:47
Speaker 2: dominant bulk of the council have been there a long
18:49
Speaker 2: time and have been running the city down for many years.
18:53
Speaker 2: But the pipes are pretty old too.
18:54
Speaker 8: I don't know.
18:55
Speaker 2: Look, it is an ongoing problem that several councils have
18:58
Speaker 2: abdicated responsibility from right. Roman. Whenever I hear people argue
19:03
Speaker 2: against the treaty principles, it's always word broad statements, but
19:07
Speaker 2: never anything specific. Why is everyone so scared of it?
19:10
Speaker 2: And what is it they're specifically scared of? Well, I
19:12
Speaker 2: think it's a general lack of understanding. Isn't it running
19:15
Speaker 2: with the flock as people do? Reman? If a parent
19:18
Speaker 2: isn't feeding their child, isn't it likely that they're also
19:21
Speaker 2: not helping them with reading and writing and maths, et cetera. Yeah,
19:24
Speaker 2: quite possibly, Remand why do people keep having children they
19:27
Speaker 2: can't afford to look after them? I'd also be interested
19:30
Speaker 2: in the correlation with drug use and families in that
19:34
Speaker 2: food security research. We'll keep that feedback coming in my
19:38
Speaker 2: email Roman at Newstalkzreb dot co dot nz and the
19:41
Speaker 2: text is nine two nine two twenty two to six
19:45
Speaker 2: news Talk said, be heading around the country with our
19:48
Speaker 2: reporter wrap Callum Proctor, good morning to you, Greetings, Good
19:53
Speaker 2: morning Roman, Yeah, good morning. That was a bit Talia
19:55
Speaker 2: but cold there this morning? Are what's this speaking of
19:58
Speaker 2: being cole Calum? Can you imagine living in your car
20:01
Speaker 2: as a student.
20:04
Speaker 9: Well, no, but that could be a reality for many
20:07
Speaker 9: here this year. It's the cost of living is a
20:09
Speaker 9: big issue for students and it's only getting more expensive
20:12
Speaker 9: for them here. Trade me figures show our region's rents
20:15
Speaker 9: increased by eleven point six percent in the past year.
20:18
Speaker 9: South Than's is up nearly seven percent. The students' associations
20:22
Speaker 9: told us that data is not surprising given the issues
20:25
Speaker 9: they are hearing about students trying to find affordable accommodation
20:29
Speaker 9: this year. They say, twenty twenty five is already shaping
20:32
Speaker 9: up to be more difficult than others for those flat hunting.
20:35
Speaker 9: And it's scary to hear from students moving here that
20:37
Speaker 9: they'll be living out of their cars and unable to
20:40
Speaker 9: afford food.
20:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's absolutely horrendous, isn't it. What's speaking of the
20:44
Speaker 2: weather and how cold it might be. What's the weather
20:45
Speaker 2: going to do today?
20:46
Speaker 9: Callum not great, few showers clear later today fresh, soole
20:50
Speaker 9: westerly and sixteen.
20:51
Speaker 2: Good on you, Cadum, Thank you so much, Callum Proctor
20:53
Speaker 2: and Dunedin. Let's head to christ Church with Claire Sherwood.
20:56
Speaker 2: Morning clear, good news for white bait.
20:59
Speaker 10: Well, good news. Who's part concerned for white baiting behavior,
21:02
Speaker 10: so there's concerns here about people fishing outside of the
21:06
Speaker 10: restricted white baiting season. The Department of Conservation, which manages
21:10
Speaker 10: the white bait fisheries here, have had one hundred and
21:12
Speaker 10: sixty eight reports of possible regulation breaches from the end
21:16
Speaker 10: of the season in August until the end of November.
21:19
Speaker 10: They've taken fourteen enforcement actions so far. There's more still
21:22
Speaker 10: to come. Some locals white baits themselves, are concerned that
21:26
Speaker 10: fishing beyond the season could impact upon their catch numbers
21:29
Speaker 10: next year. Basically, but nee was Mike Hickford says, unlike
21:32
Speaker 10: other marine at fisheries, there's no way to tell why
21:35
Speaker 10: a white bait season could be poor. He says having
21:38
Speaker 10: fishery catch data coming in would be a huge step
21:41
Speaker 10: forward in helping us to understand if populations define or
21:45
Speaker 10: are in fact in decline.
21:46
Speaker 2: No you good stuff? Is it a good day to
21:48
Speaker 2: go fishing? In christ Church?
21:50
Speaker 11: Miserable here to be honest.
21:51
Speaker 10: Shao is very heavy this morning and will clear to
21:53
Speaker 10: find this afternoon as strong southwesterlyes easing a high of
21:56
Speaker 10: eighteen clear sherwood.
21:58
Speaker 2: Thank you in christ Church. Let's go to Wellington, God's
22:00
Speaker 2: chosen city, mechs toll. You've lost the warehouse, the warehouse
22:03
Speaker 2: where everyone gets it. Well, it's broken, isn't it.
22:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, no bargain for people going to Tory Street anymore.
22:11
Speaker 8: Quite an interesting story. Actually, we were first to report
22:13
Speaker 8: last week that the warehouse was having to close. This
22:16
Speaker 8: is the Central City branch, not of their own volition,
22:19
Speaker 8: but because the landlord had decided not to renew the lease.
22:22
Speaker 8: And we learn now that that's because my ten has
22:26
Speaker 8: been given it and will open at the same site
22:28
Speaker 8: toward the end of the year. We spoke to the
22:31
Speaker 8: warehouse's national store operations manager last week. He told us
22:34
Speaker 8: they're all gutted. They've operated there for thirty years. They
22:37
Speaker 8: had to close for more than a year after a
22:39
Speaker 8: devastating fire there. They had only just reopened mid last year.
22:44
Speaker 8: But that's it. Apparently the landlord is not budging. Might
22:46
Speaker 8: attend must be offering far more money, or there's something
22:50
Speaker 8: we're not.
22:50
Speaker 2: Yet aware of. Yeah, is it a good day to
22:52
Speaker 2: go shopping in Wellington?
22:54
Speaker 8: No, shower's pretty strong Southerleies as well, which, to be honest,
22:59
Speaker 8: quite welcome after the hot, humid days we've had at
23:01
Speaker 8: seventeen the high central.
23:03
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't talk about humidity with me. Last night
23:06
Speaker 2: was like sleeping in a fish tank underwater, a tropical one.
23:08
Speaker 2: It was very what neither a timer? You're looking fresh
23:11
Speaker 2: and well how many times have I told you?
23:14
Speaker 6: Every time?
23:14
Speaker 11: You say this every summer? Oh my, turn your air
23:17
Speaker 11: corn on. It's been broken for flopping three.
23:21
Speaker 2: Years, seven seven years? Actually, my goodness sake. Well we've
23:25
Speaker 2: got to go through a reford. There's no point in
23:27
Speaker 2: fixing it. They say, if you're not going to run,
23:30
Speaker 2: would you do you kick the windows open and run
23:32
Speaker 2: around naked most of.
23:33
Speaker 11: The time, just trying to make it out of my head,
23:35
Speaker 11: out of my head.
23:36
Speaker 2: Put your hands up high so you don't get sweaty.
23:37
Speaker 11: Armputs Happy Aukland Anniversary day. And here we are on
23:42
Speaker 11: a public holiday.
23:43
Speaker 2: What's happening with the weather around the Auckland and Northern region.
23:46
Speaker 11: Well, are you talking about the weather or do I
23:47
Speaker 11: go into the weather.
23:48
Speaker 2: Or is it just not the weather? No, just the
23:50
Speaker 2: story about the weather. Trying to be subtle.
23:53
Speaker 11: Oh, you're trying to be subtle and you're trying to
23:54
Speaker 11: be a well rounded broadcast excent. Well, do you know today,
23:58
Speaker 11: two years to the day since the Orklanden, those three floods. Gosh,
24:01
Speaker 11: it's just gone by so fast. But there's a hope
24:03
Speaker 11: now that a greener future for Auckland can come out
24:06
Speaker 11: of these severe weather events. Ages say their Roman I
24:08
Speaker 11: mean Lyle Carter. Now he's the chair of the advocacy
24:11
Speaker 11: group West Auckland is Flooding. He says, Look, it's reevaluating
24:15
Speaker 11: what its role is going to be, you know, as
24:17
Speaker 11: time goes on. It's been two years, he said, of course,
24:20
Speaker 11: you know when it happened, they were advocating for people
24:22
Speaker 11: suffering from the floods. But now this next steap will
24:25
Speaker 11: be advocating for managed to retreat. He says that that's
24:28
Speaker 11: going to be you know, it will include creating community
24:31
Speaker 11: so that people can live with nature instead of against it,
24:34
Speaker 11: and you know, coming up with some ideas all of that,
24:36
Speaker 11: so which could take some time, isn't But I mean
24:40
Speaker 11: Munga fire yesterday, that tornado and those photos.
24:44
Speaker 2: That's crazy crazy, It's like you know, Central USA kind
24:47
Speaker 2: of madness, isn't it.
24:48
Speaker 11: And what they were saying to a miracle that there
24:51
Speaker 11: were no debts incredible.
24:52
Speaker 2: What's happening today?
24:53
Speaker 11: With the weather isolated, chowers clearing to find late morning.
24:56
Speaker 11: If you're out there at Auckland, you know, going down
24:58
Speaker 11: to the waterfront, that small one off, it's all taking
25:01
Speaker 11: off today.
25:02
Speaker 2: You're going there, I'll be sleeping probably, Oh.
25:04
Speaker 11: Yeah, sleeping sweetie and everything.
25:06
Speaker 1: No you can't.
25:07

25:27
Speaker 1: US talks there b International correspondence with ins and Eye insurance,
25:31
Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand business the.
25:34
Speaker 2: Thing to six and Gail Downey is our Europe and
25:37
Speaker 2: UK correspondent. Morning to you go. Real problems here with
25:40
Speaker 2: the big cleanup two after the big storms across the UK.
25:45
Speaker 12: Yes, it's actually we now have a second storm on
25:49
Speaker 12: its way which has begun to affect south west of England.
25:52
Speaker 12: So places like Devon and Cornwall, so the cleanup operation
25:57
Speaker 12: continues in Northern Ireland, Whales and parts of Western England
26:01
Speaker 12: and of course the Irish Republic as well, which are
26:04
Speaker 12: the worst affected. And two people died in separate incidents
26:08
Speaker 12: when their cars were hit by falling trees. In Northern Ireland,
26:11
Speaker 12: seventy five thousand people are still without power and the
26:15
Speaker 12: energy companies are saying it could take up to ten
26:17
Speaker 12: days to complete repairs needed. As I say, this isn't
26:21
Speaker 12: the end of the bad weather. The new storm now
26:24
Speaker 12: is called Hermonia and that's also leaving thousands of homes
26:28
Speaker 12: without power today at Palmas, the Coastguard is saying to
26:33
Speaker 12: people please please stay away from the coast because of
26:37
Speaker 12: the crashing waves. Conditions out at Seat are described as
26:41
Speaker 12: really really bad.
26:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, that just sounds absolutely horrendous. The whole world's changing
26:46
Speaker 2: with the weather systems. I really feel for you people there.
26:49
Speaker 2: But there's some good news possibly with Heathrow Airport possibly
26:52
Speaker 2: getting a third runway.
26:55
Speaker 13: Well.
26:55
Speaker 12: This has come out of an interview done by the
26:57
Speaker 12: Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
27:00
Speaker 14: This week.
27:00
Speaker 12: The government is expected to make an announcement as part
27:03
Speaker 12: of plans to boost the UK economy and part of
27:06
Speaker 12: that announcement it looks like it could be talk of
27:10
Speaker 12: a third runway at Heathrow. So the government's already approved
27:14
Speaker 12: the expansion of London City Airport and also Stanstead Airport,
27:18
Speaker 12: stan said, which is more popular for holiday flights. And
27:21
Speaker 12: now she's announced Rachel Reaves and said they're looking at
27:24
Speaker 12: backing the expansion of Heathrow, saying that sustainable aviation and
27:28
Speaker 12: economic growth go hand in hand and that rather than
27:31
Speaker 12: circling London flights can land. Of course the environmentalists are
27:35
Speaker 12: concerned about this, and what she says is sustainable fuel
27:39
Speaker 12: was changing the carbon emissions from flying. But not everyone's
27:43
Speaker 12: going to be happy. Environmental groups, as I mentioned, residents
27:46
Speaker 12: living near the airport, and even some Labour MPs, including
27:50
Speaker 12: the Prime Minister when he was in opposition, have all
27:54
Speaker 12: voiced concern In the past. London's mayor said he khn't
27:58
Speaker 12: said he was still opposed to runway and he would
28:01
Speaker 12: actually support a legal challenge if the government did back
28:04
Speaker 12: proposals for the third runway.
28:06
Speaker 2: See I've always thought he throw ahead more than two runways. Anyway,
28:09
Speaker 2: it's one of the biggest airports I've ever been to.
28:13
Speaker 12: It's absolutely huge, isn't it. And it's something like a
28:16
Speaker 12: plane lands every three minutes, lands or takes off every
28:20
Speaker 12: three minutes. It is constantly busy. And that's the thing
28:23
Speaker 12: that local residents, people living near the airport really really
28:27
Speaker 12: don't want any more any more runways.
28:31
Speaker 2: No, that's always the case, isn't it. Gale, not in
28:33
Speaker 2: my backyard. No prisons, no shopping malls, no airports, no anything. Really,
28:38
Speaker 2: just leave me alone to my piece and quite all
28:40
Speaker 2: the very bas scale. Thank you so much. With all
28:41
Speaker 2: those storms you're confronted with over there, I really feel
28:44
Speaker 2: for all of the people of the UK that it
28:45
Speaker 2: may well be listening on iHeartRadio. Gail Downey, Europe and
28:49
Speaker 2: UK correspondent eleven to six News Talks it'd be well.
28:55
Speaker 2: Speaking of storms, the cleanup will continue this morning in Munga,
28:58
Speaker 2: FI after a tour ripped through the beachside north in town.
29:02
Speaker 2: Around fifty buildings received damage and two people were taken
29:05
Speaker 2: to hospital with serious injuries, one of them thrown out
29:08
Speaker 2: of her second story house while sleeping. Yikes. Northern Power
29:14
Speaker 2: see some areas will be without power for much of
29:16
Speaker 2: the day. Grant McCallum is the MP for North and
29:19
Speaker 2: he's been in Munga fire surveying the damage and he
29:21
Speaker 2: joins me, Now, good Lord Grant, what on earth struck
29:25
Speaker 2: the place?
29:26
Speaker 13: Yeah, good morning, Gramman.
29:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
29:27
Speaker 13: It was pretty devastating.
29:29
Speaker 5: It was.
29:29
Speaker 13: It's quite uncanny. You know, we will see those pictures
29:32
Speaker 13: in America where the tornadoes go through town and you'll
29:35
Speaker 13: be a strip with this destruction on either side. Not
29:38
Speaker 13: pretty okay, And that was pretty much what it was like.
29:41
Speaker 13: And it was just it was just phenomenal.
29:43
Speaker 5: It was.
29:43
Speaker 13: One of the fire emergency control of the told us
29:47
Speaker 13: the worst he's ever seved from a tornado that he's
29:50
Speaker 13: very experienced. It's not them's history of tornadoes is not
29:53
Speaker 13: nearly that destructive as a whole. So that's just amazing.
29:56
Speaker 13: It's just as totally devastation. Are really feel of the
30:00
Speaker 13: people that have had their lives turned upside down in
30:02
Speaker 13: some cases quite literally.
30:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:04
Speaker 2: Look, there'd be a lot of people just wondering what's
30:06
Speaker 2: next and literally, who's going to help me? What is
30:08
Speaker 2: the latest information that you've heard from from the local authorities.
30:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, at the end of the day yesterday, things
30:16
Speaker 13: have been clean up with progressing pretty well in terms
30:18
Speaker 13: of getting with the trees from the from the roads
30:21
Speaker 13: and getting the power power back on the there was
30:25
Speaker 13: a numerous poles down broken. Some of the poles are
30:28
Speaker 13: smashing the little pieces, you know, the concrete poles pieces,
30:32
Speaker 13: and are North Power doing a great job of putting
30:34
Speaker 13: it getting the power back on unfortunately, because we'll probably
30:38
Speaker 13: all be back on by about midnight last night. But
30:41
Speaker 13: some of the residents took to cutting the wires across
30:44
Speaker 13: their driveway, which slowed down the progress. Not something that
30:47
Speaker 13: recommend to treat all wires as live at all time,
30:49
Speaker 13: please people, because there's no guarantee that they won't be
30:53
Speaker 13: and we don't need that added to the challenges we've got.
30:55
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. You know how television always focuses on
30:59
Speaker 2: the worst picture, go back to the worst picture. How
31:02
Speaker 2: widespread was this? How much? How much of that damage
31:05
Speaker 2: was isolated just a couple of very tight little areas
31:08
Speaker 2: as opposed to a wider region.
31:10
Speaker 13: Yeah, it was. It was only a relveant, small area.
31:12
Speaker 13: They said in your Leader about fifty homes affected, and
31:16
Speaker 13: some of them there's one some of them were just
31:18
Speaker 13: completely devastate. A handful. Yeah, it was only a very
31:22
Speaker 13: concentrated area, two concentrated areas, and the devastation was immense
31:27
Speaker 13: and where it did hit, you know, you couldn't believe
31:29
Speaker 13: there's some big trees that have been there for well
31:32
Speaker 13: over one hundred years. It's like flat cars crushed, you know,
31:35
Speaker 13: and people just distraught. And one lady came up to
31:38
Speaker 13: us as we were having a look around and said
31:40
Speaker 13: this if a husband needed when they needed boater to
31:43
Speaker 13: flush the toilet. And this is suppose what happens is
31:46
Speaker 13: as like this, I said to the label, you've got
31:48
Speaker 13: a water tank, Yes, you've got a bucket, Yes you've
31:50
Speaker 13: got a rope. Yes, we'll chuck the bucket in the
31:53
Speaker 13: tank and just clearly whereas we can think clearly because
31:56
Speaker 13: you're coming to the outside and when you've been caught
