0:01
Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
0:05
Speaker 1: an early edition with one root Love where you Live
0:09
Speaker 1: News Talks, there'd be good.
0:10
Speaker 2: Morning, Welcome to Monday. Just gone six after five, Nick
0:12
Speaker 2: Sawtaner before six on this new events fund from the government.
0:15
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray in Europe as potent tests the limits of
0:19
Speaker 2: NATO also will talk to our reporters around the country.
0:22
Speaker 2: And Andrew Elderson, I should say on sport this morning
0:25
Speaker 2: and how many schools are struggling to get kids into
0:29
Speaker 2: class as the government has directed. It's all ahead the
0:34
Speaker 2: agenda Monday, the fifteen September, Cabinet could be making a
0:37
Speaker 2: call on Palestine as early as today. Meanwhile, Marca Rubio's
0:41
Speaker 2: and Israel, despite the strikes in Doha, everything's still all
0:44
Speaker 2: g in the relationship.
0:45
Speaker 3: There was a very public and deliberate display of unity
0:48
Speaker 3: this afternoon between Benjamin Ettenio and Marco Rubio at the
0:52
Speaker 3: Western Wall. But I think given the week of tensions
0:55
Speaker 3: between these two countries, these two incredibly close allies, they're
1:00
Speaker 3: trying to make sure their relationship is that publicly at
1:02
Speaker 3: least a very strong and nonoether. That's Miister Rubo had
1:05
Speaker 3: said on his way here that he reiterated America's disappointment.
1:10
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, after being hit last week, the Qataris say that
1:13
Speaker 2: no goal state is safe.
1:15
Speaker 1: I think that we are dealing now with a leadership
1:18
Speaker 1: that is unhinked. We are dealing with a prime minister
1:21
Speaker 1: that believes that he can hechiave the Middle East in
1:23
Speaker 1: his own image, which is an image of chaos.
1:25
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in America, Tyler Robinson this is the guy who
1:28
Speaker 2: they reckon assassinated Charlie Kirk. His family are Conservatives, but
1:32
Speaker 2: they reckon that the sun went the other way. Obviously
1:35
Speaker 2: quite radically. The dad told him to surrender.
1:38
Speaker 4: Formal criminal charges will be filed next Tuesday, and on
1:41
Speaker 4: that day, the twenty two year old suspect is expected
1:44
Speaker 4: to make his first initial court appearance. He will not
1:47
Speaker 4: be taken from this jail here in Utah County to
1:50
Speaker 4: the courthouse. He will appear in the courtroom virtually.
1:53
Speaker 2: Ricky Hadden this is the former world boxing champion found dead.
1:56
Speaker 2: At his time, he's only forty six. Nothing suspicious, though tragic.
2:00
Speaker 5: News only for the world of boxing, not only for Britain.
2:03
Speaker 6: He was a massive name and he's going to be
2:06
Speaker 6: definitely messed news.
2:08
Speaker 1: And views you trust to start your day. It's early
2:12
Speaker 1: edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof love where you
2:16
Speaker 1: live news talks.
2:17
Speaker 2: That'd be eight after five nine nine two is the
2:19
Speaker 2: number to text love hearing from you. If I was
2:21
Speaker 2: Scott Robertson, I wouldn't be reading the comments section in
2:24
Speaker 2: a hurry after Saturday. Their comments were kind of funny, though.
2:27
Speaker 2: One guy said he was more of a blunt pair
2:29
Speaker 2: of scissors than a razor. That was probably the most
2:32
Speaker 2: generous and docile of the Sunday morning media blitz. Among
2:36
Speaker 2: the calls, sack him, drop Barrett's captain, ditch half the backs,
2:40
Speaker 2: the midfields get taller, props, get bigger fords, clean out
2:44
Speaker 2: the coaching staff. Basically, just go into the changing sheds
2:47
Speaker 2: and fire everyone that you can see. This is his
2:52
Speaker 2: second season, after all, and they were struggling to do
2:55
Speaker 2: things like catch a ball, score a try, you know
2:59
Speaker 2: when a scrum, defend the line, score points, all those
3:02
Speaker 2: important things. It was like somebody had turned their batteries
3:05
Speaker 2: off at halftime and they're all just gone into sleep mode.
3:08
Speaker 2: This is obviously a visceral reaction to the worst loss
3:11
Speaker 2: in the history of the black jersey. But the World
3:14
Speaker 2: Cup is still two years away. There's time to make changes,
3:17
Speaker 2: time to get better. Does he have world class players
3:21
Speaker 2: on his side, Scott Robertson, is the problem the coaching
3:23
Speaker 2: or is it the quality of the team. There's time
3:27
Speaker 2: to make changes, but you'd have to say the runway
3:29
Speaker 2: is getting a little short and getting a little tight.
3:31
Speaker 2: Bit like Chris Luxon with politics, leaderships are balancing act,
3:36
Speaker 2: not a knee jerkers game. It's about tough calls, but
3:39
Speaker 2: not throwing the baby out with the bath water, as
3:41
Speaker 2: the commenters on the weekend would have you do. Ryan
3:44
Speaker 2: breadalb it's ten minutes after five. Now to party Mardi,
3:48
Speaker 2: the Marori Party, Happy Malori language week. But where are you?
3:53
Speaker 2: What are you up to? Absolute shambles in the last week,
3:56
Speaker 2: well not just the last week, but particularly in the
3:58
Speaker 2: last week. Try and ask them a question. They get
4:02
Speaker 2: quite arrogant about that. They either don't talk to you
4:05
Speaker 2: or they refuse to answer questions that you ask. I
4:07
Speaker 2: have three for them this morning. If you're listening up
4:10
Speaker 2: there at Debbie and at Arity, why did Debbie take
4:15
Speaker 2: the whips role? It's a weird thing to do to
4:17
Speaker 2: give the whips role to your co leader. Was it
4:19
Speaker 2: the extra twenty grand in salary or was there something
4:24
Speaker 2: that's happened? Is there had been an incident that you
4:26
Speaker 2: need to take care of? And why aren't you telling
4:28
Speaker 2: you people? Number two? Why have neither of you contacted
4:34
Speaker 2: Taku to Ferris. This guy's been running around town embarrassing
4:39
Speaker 2: you and saying, let's be honest and pretty racially charged stuff.
4:44
Speaker 2: Why you have you not contacted him? He did an
4:46
Speaker 2: airport stand up thing with a reporter on Friday, said
4:50
Speaker 2: that he hasn't heard from either of them. Can you
4:52
Speaker 2: believe that? And they're going around apologizing on his behalf
4:57
Speaker 2: to the likes of Hipkins. Well, how meaningful as that
5:01
Speaker 2: if they haven't even spoken to him? And number three,
5:04
Speaker 2: where's your financial returns? You're audited financial returns? I don't
5:08
Speaker 2: think we've seen those yet. It's eleven minutes after five.
5:12
Speaker 2: Just a question for you if Labor if Hipkins ruled
5:15
Speaker 2: out working with Tapati Mardi and tried to get there
5:19
Speaker 2: on the Labor Green vote, do you think they would
5:23
Speaker 2: see a boost in the polls. Obviously, old mate Winston's
5:26
Speaker 2: ruled out Chippy but hasn't ruled out labor. Do you
5:30
Speaker 2: think that would be a better strategy for them? Nineteen
5:34
Speaker 2: nine two is the number to text eleven minutes after five.
5:36
Speaker 2: Come up. Next we'll talk about the schools that can't
5:38
Speaker 2: get kids into class. News Talks VB.
5:42
Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
5:45
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
5:49
Speaker 1: Where you Live. News Talks B.
5:51
Speaker 2: It is five pin fourteen on News Talks VB. GDP
5:54
Speaker 2: for quarter two is out Thursday, by the way, and
5:57
Speaker 2: ASB has released their regional economic scorecard this morning. So
6:00
Speaker 2: running through some numbers really quickly. Baye Plenty, you are
6:03
Speaker 2: in first place. Congratulations, you're up from ten. Thank you
6:07
Speaker 2: Kiwi fruit. First time in a decade both Plenty has
6:09
Speaker 2: led the scoreboard. Consumer confidence up, house sales up. It
6:13
Speaker 2: won't be any surprise to you that two, three and
6:15
Speaker 2: four are all in the South Irelands, Southland, Otago, Canterbury.
6:19
Speaker 2: And then at number five, up from number ten, is
6:22
Speaker 2: none other than the City of Sales, Auckland. Congratulations. Finally
6:27
Speaker 2: you're seeing some signs of life. People are feeling better,
6:30
Speaker 2: retails holding up quite well, signs of confidence Auckland. Hopefully
6:34
Speaker 2: this is the first sign that you're coming back baby.
6:37
Speaker 2: It's fourteen after five, Bryan Bridge. One in four of
6:40
Speaker 2: our schools need more help getting kids to attend class.
6:43
Speaker 2: Data from the Ministry of Educations identified about six hundred
6:47
Speaker 2: schools struggling to get eighty percent of students attending more
6:49
Speaker 2: than ninety percent of the time, which is the government
6:52
Speaker 2: target they want to hit by twenty thirty. Leanne or
6:54
Speaker 2: tenni Is, the Principals Federation president, joins me. Now, LeAnn,
6:57
Speaker 2: good morning. You say this is not about something the
7:03
Speaker 2: schools can control, this is about other stuff, well other stuff.
7:07
Speaker 7: Oh look, let's just start with the fact that we'd
7:10
Speaker 7: like to see every single child attend school every day.
7:13
Speaker 7: Principles absolutely agree that we need to focus on attendance,
7:18
Speaker 7: but understanding the trends and why children away from school
7:21
Speaker 7: is something that we just need to really look at closely.
7:25
Speaker 7: There's two types of non attendance. So you've got you
7:29
Speaker 7: justified and you're unjustified. And unfortunately the data that you're
7:33
Speaker 7: you're you know, you've just quoted includes both. So you've
7:37
Speaker 7: got you justified. Where kids are away from school for
7:40
Speaker 7: family reasons, so death in the family, the children are
7:43
Speaker 7: sick and let's be honest. This winter has not been
7:45
Speaker 7: helpful and we've had a lot of kids away with sickness.
7:48
Speaker 7: We've got mental health up as well. Those are justified reasons.
7:53
Speaker 7: Unjustified that's a much smaller group of students and that
7:57
Speaker 7: includes truancy which is very low. And then you've got transience,
8:01
Speaker 7: which is what you're just alerting to the things that
8:04
Speaker 7: schools can't really control on their own. There as a
8:07
Speaker 7: kids shifting around the country for social housing rentals, you know,
8:12
Speaker 7: moving to live with family. And then you've got five
8:15
Speaker 7: percent you know of unemployment, so you've got families juggling
8:18
Speaker 7: to find a job, so they're moving a lot to
8:20
Speaker 7: find work. So although the data is showing that we've
8:25
Speaker 7: got high and non attendance, there are reasons for it
8:28
Speaker 7: and we need to look deeper into the data otherwise
8:32
Speaker 7: where it's a distortion of the reality.
8:34
Speaker 2: So we got like what forty two percent of students
8:36
Speaker 2: not attending regularly and do you know what proportion of
8:39
Speaker 2: justified versus unjustified.
8:42
Speaker 7: Well, this is what the data is that is coming
8:44
Speaker 7: out from you know, on this seamore a Minister Seymour
8:48
Speaker 7: and saying, you know, we're looking at it on a
8:50
Speaker 7: weekly basis at a school, every school, we'll be looking
8:55
Speaker 7: at that data and we'll be determining which is justified,
8:58
Speaker 7: which is unjustified, and they'll be working with those families
9:02
Speaker 7: where the first of all the justified reasons kids are sick.
9:06
Speaker 7: So you know we've now got health guidelines. Out's ont
9:08
Speaker 7: of really staying to parents. You know, as a as
9:11
Speaker 7: a child well enough to come to school.
9:13
Speaker 1: Well, I think that man.
9:15
Speaker 2: What about do you tell are you a principal of
9:17
Speaker 2: a school?
9:18
Speaker 7: Yes, I am?
9:19
Speaker 2: What what's in yours? What's the percent's break down in
9:21
Speaker 2: your school justified unjustified.
9:26
Speaker 7: Changes on a weekly basis? I can't tell you overall
9:29
Speaker 7: average trees. Yes, we're looking at trends.
9:32
Speaker 2: Yet what the tree is telling you?
9:34
Speaker 7: So we're looking at around about sixty five to seventy percent.
9:38
Speaker 7: I'm in a load decile school. We've got children who is.
9:42
Speaker 2: Justified or unjustified sixty five to seventy.
9:45
Speaker 7: Five, there would be both that would be including both.
9:48
Speaker 7: As we're looking at the unjustified reasons. You know, the
9:51
Speaker 7: children that are are way because scoring out, we're probably
9:55
Speaker 7: looking about six percent. We're looking at six percent of unjustified.
9:59
Speaker 7: That's really small, and I would say that's the same
10:02
Speaker 7: across the country of unjustified to say that parents are
10:06
Speaker 7: keeping children home because they are too lazy, and that's
10:11
Speaker 7: the quote of scene. It's just not fear. That is
10:14
Speaker 7: not the reality. There's are so many other resents and.
10:18
Speaker 2: Lean the twenty to thirty. So you've got like what
10:20
Speaker 2: twenty to thirty percent of kids who are not attending
10:23
Speaker 2: school for justified reasons. That seems like quite a lot
10:27
Speaker 2: to be sick, doesn't it.
10:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, there's been lots of reporting on
10:32
Speaker 7: illness this winter. We've had schools have had clothes because
10:35
Speaker 7: the've had staff who are sick, and you know, they're
10:38
Speaker 7: sharing the bugs. And this is the biggest concern we've
10:41
Speaker 7: had around these health guidelines. Parents are sending their kids
10:45
Speaker 7: to school sick or otherwise trying really desperately to meet
10:48
Speaker 7: the demands of the school. Send your kids to school,
10:52
Speaker 7: and as a result, we're sharing the bugs. Kids are
10:54
Speaker 7: whole classrooms are going down with winter bugs. We've had
10:59
Speaker 7: schools who all said that, you know, they've got a
11:02
Speaker 7: very high number of staff away, So ok, a lot
11:06
Speaker 7: of sick kids.
11:07
Speaker 2: Leanne appreciate your time this morning, Leanne attending the Principals
11:09
Speaker 2: Federation President. It has just gone nineteen minutes after five.
11:12
Speaker 2: When I was at school and it wasn't that long ago,
11:15
Speaker 2: but you would have like one or two kids in
11:17
Speaker 2: the class who might be second a day. I need
11:19
Speaker 2: to go back and look, what is the sick rate
11:23
Speaker 2: now versus you know twenty thirty forty years ago. A
11:28
Speaker 2: kid's getting more sick or appearance being more cautious, or
11:31
Speaker 2: is the threshold now been lowered to stay home from school?
11:37
Speaker 2: Nineteen minutes after five News Talks be Sport next.
11:42
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early
11:45
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love.
11:48
Speaker 2: Where you live News Talks at b News Talks, it'd
11:52
Speaker 2: be it's five twenty two on your Monday morning, Ryan.
11:54
Speaker 2: I think the AB's need no Dame Knowles. Get Dame
11:57
Speaker 2: Knowles in there for a pep talk. She's got a
11:59
Speaker 2: bit of time on her hands. Thanks John, Ryan. That
12:01
Speaker 2: principle you just had on is not credible. Another unionized
12:04
Speaker 2: government hater.
12:05
Speaker 1: Ryan.
12:05
Speaker 2: The woman clearly hates David Seymour. I would have do
12:08
Speaker 2: you know what, I would have liked a little more
12:09
Speaker 2: detail from someone who's running one of our schools, Andrew
12:14
Speaker 2: Ortison's sport. Good morning, morning Ryan. Not a great day
12:18
Speaker 2: on Saturday for the Abs.
12:20
Speaker 5: No, no, And I know lots to be made of
12:23
Speaker 5: the record defeat, et cetera. I mean they were in
12:25
Speaker 5: it in the first half if you think, you know,
12:27
Speaker 5: ten to seven, although I did think South Africa but
12:29
Speaker 5: unlucky there probably not to have the advantage at halftime.
12:33
Speaker 5: But gee, that's the African side is a real Dugonhaut
12:36
Speaker 5: and New Zealand just not up to the up to
12:39
Speaker 5: the task.
12:40
Speaker 2: So actually they just like we turned the batteries off
12:42
Speaker 2: and went to sleep.
12:43
Speaker 5: Yet just dissolved and unusual for All Black's performance. And
12:47
Speaker 5: they've got work to do especially, I mean just such
12:49
Speaker 5: a you know, oscillating between that magnificent effort of Eden
12:52
Speaker 5: Park and in going to that in Wellington is just
12:55
Speaker 5: they've got to, I guess, address some consistency issues as
12:59
Speaker 5: well as to how they are able to maintain that
13:01
Speaker 5: level of motivation.
13:03
Speaker 2: Do we have enough world class players in the team?
13:05
Speaker 1: No, probably not.
13:06
Speaker 5: There's not a great All Black team at the moment.
13:08
Speaker 5: I mean it's fine players, fine players, they're no doubt
13:12
Speaker 5: about it. But if you're looking at I guess sides
13:14
Speaker 5: from nine to eighty seven or you know, twenty fifteen
13:18
Speaker 5: times like that, when you know real peaks in all
13:20
Speaker 5: Black history, it's not quite at that same level. I
13:22
Speaker 5: mean just all those mistackles as well. I think was
13:24
Speaker 5: it forty six in total?
13:26
Speaker 2: I mean catching the ball.
13:28
Speaker 5: I think someone suggested splicing that together as motivation for
13:31
Speaker 5: the Wallabies and the Blitters like Cup. I mean, there's
13:34
Speaker 5: the blitters like Cup on the line, here's the rext
13:36
Speaker 5: Christian to race.
13:37
Speaker 2: And now Warriors. I tuned turned over in half time
13:40
Speaker 2: for the last five minutes. That was a great indied.
13:42
Speaker 2: I was switching back and.
13:43
Speaker 5: Forth too and just seeing where that was at. But
13:46
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, speaking of Dug and also you know
13:49
Speaker 5: we talking about the spring box, but the Panthers as well.
13:52
Speaker 5: They're really winding up here into a higher gear. You
13:55
Speaker 5: suspect that having that what pretty bleak start to the season.
14:00
Speaker 5: But Ivan Cleary always had a lot of faith in
14:02
Speaker 5: him and in him and aside looking for that fifth
14:05
Speaker 5: straight premiership and well they're odds on at the moment,
14:09
Speaker 5: don't they working be way back into it. Albit, they
14:11
Speaker 5: have to expend more energy than those other sides. We've
14:13
Speaker 5: seen the Broncos go through overnight with a golden point
14:16
Speaker 5: victory over the Raiders who were the top of the
14:18
Speaker 5: table in the minor premiership, and they've gone through in
14:22
Speaker 5: golden points, so that's a real for them.
14:25
Speaker 2: Andrew. The tour of Spain, the cycling is more pro
14:28
Speaker 2: breaking news.
14:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, this morning, I just looked up at the screen
14:32
Speaker 5: about an hour ago or so, Ryan, and yeah, the
14:35
Speaker 5: pro Palestinian protesters have come. I mean it's been a
14:38
Speaker 5: theme throughout the tour at various days, but this time
14:42
Speaker 5: heading into Madrid, I think about fifty seven ks ago
14:45
Speaker 5: and they've just surged into the main sort of boulevards
14:49
Speaker 5: and the streets there of Madrid and it's completely ended.
14:53
Speaker 2: The race.
14:53
Speaker 5: Has been no presentation, ceremonies, and yeah, they've just I
14:56
Speaker 5: think the honest with Gore will be announced as the
14:59
Speaker 5: winner of roy. I think he was leading by a
15:00
Speaker 5: minute sixteen, but it just ended the race as of
15:04
Speaker 5: that moment, and I think just having looked at the
15:07
Speaker 5: screensy it looks like police and protesters combating each other
15:11
Speaker 5: as we speak.
15:11
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's lovely good Andrew, thank you for that
15:14
Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison sport. It is five twenty five on your
15:17
Speaker 2: Monday morning. I just think some things that sport is
15:19
Speaker 2: meant to bring people together and create joy and peace
15:23
Speaker 2: and harmony in the world. And when you get in
15:25
Speaker 2: the way of that, what is left to enjoy in life?
15:28
Speaker 2: News Talk s VB the early.
15:30
Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power by News.
15:34
Speaker 2: Talks EBB, News TALKSB. It is five twenty seven on
15:38
Speaker 2: your Monday morning. The punters will love this new Major
15:40
Speaker 2: Events Fund seventy million. It's new and old money. Infrastructure,
15:44
Speaker 2: cycle way money ten million for regional tourism. The showstopper though,
15:49
Speaker 2: is there's forty million bucks for significant high impact events
15:53
Speaker 2: for New Zealand. We had the PM and the Minister
15:56
Speaker 2: out yesterday. While they're saying these things are money makers.
15:59
Speaker 2: Hospital does well, Tourism operators do well, retail does well.
16:03
Speaker 2: They call it a bonanza. But if you're a fan
16:06
Speaker 2: of sailing, if you like the America's Cup, you might
16:08
Speaker 2: be scratching your head. Remember it was only five months
16:11
Speaker 2: ago we had the PM saying no thank you to
16:14
Speaker 2: backing the Cup. Why well, I went back and looked
16:17
Speaker 2: at the reasons to see specifically, we're in a financial mess,
16:21
Speaker 2: a fiscal mess. We need to invest in proper infrastructure
16:24
Speaker 2: like hospitals and roads. He said. We need to be
16:28
Speaker 2: quote more responsible with taxpayers money, and now we have
16:32
Speaker 2: new money for a Pearl Jam concert. To be fair,
16:35
Speaker 2: the sums involved here are important. The Cup would have
16:38
Speaker 2: cost somewhere between forty and seventy million dollars on its own,
16:41
Speaker 2: depending on who you ask. This entire fund the bit
16:45
Speaker 2: for major events is forty million total. But if you
16:49
Speaker 2: follow the reasoning and ask yourself the basic question is
16:53
Speaker 2: the least demand for hospital or roading infrastructure now than
16:56
Speaker 2: there was five months ago? You'd be right to feel
16:58
Speaker 2: a bit confused by all of this. Either the Cup
17:01
Speaker 2: was a crap investment or these investments more generally are
17:04
Speaker 2: simply not a priority. Ban would be twenty nine minutes
17:09
Speaker 2: after five Ryan government preaching to all and sundry there
17:12
Speaker 2: is no money yet handing out millions for entertainment. This
17:16
Speaker 2: person talking specifically about Nelson Hospital and in Dunedin too
17:21
Speaker 2: good points. Priority is all wrong for the government, says
17:24
Speaker 2: this text. It news Talk said b will get to
17:26
Speaker 2: the UK and Europe after news.
17:38
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with
17:41
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News
17:45
Speaker 1: Talks at b.
17:48
Speaker 2: Thank you, Good morning, Welcome there, Monday. It is twenty
17:51
Speaker 2: four minutes away from six. We'll get to Nick Sultana
17:54
Speaker 2: from Eden Park on the government's new Major Events fund. Shortly.
17:57
Speaker 2: We're also going to head to Gavin gray Are UK
17:59
Speaker 2: Europe correspond the NATO boss Rutters hold a press conference
18:02
Speaker 2: and Putin's just basically been he's, you know, throwing the
18:06
Speaker 2: drones into poland flying them over Polish airspace. By the way,
18:10
Speaker 2: those drones from last week weren't actually loaded. They didn't
18:13
Speaker 2: have any explosives, any ammunition on board at all. They
18:16
Speaker 2: were all basically dugged drones. So Putin's they reckon, just
18:21
Speaker 2: testing NATO airspace, and he's done it again over the
18:24
Speaker 2: weekend with Romania. So he's just popping in with some
18:28
Speaker 2: drones into the NATO airspace saying, oh, I wonder what
18:31
Speaker 2: reaction I'll get. And they're not loaded, there's no ammunition,
18:34
Speaker 2: so just testing the waters. And interestingly, of the nineteen
18:38
Speaker 2: drones that flew into Polish airspace last week, only three
18:42
Speaker 2: or four of them were actually shot down. So if
18:45
Speaker 2: you are putin and you're having a crack, and you're
18:47
Speaker 2: testing the waters and you're dipping your toe in the
18:50
Speaker 2: water and seeing where the boundaries are. It's not a
18:52
Speaker 2: great hit rate and responses it. NATO now scrambling some jets,
18:57
Speaker 2: you know, more deployed to the eastern flank all that stuff.
19:01
Speaker 2: But you'd have to say if that was a test,
19:03
Speaker 2: NATO at this point probably has failed. Twenty three away.
19:06
Speaker 1: From six Graham Bridge.
19:08
Speaker 2: Did you are reporters around the country, Calum Proctor Underneeda
19:11
Speaker 2: this morning, Calm, good morning, morning, Right, a bit of
19:13
Speaker 2: secrecy around this bird sanctuary in Tiano. What's going on?
19:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, Look, it's much loved by the local community. The
19:21
Speaker 8: sanctuary and its future is unsure, Ryan, since Doc revealed
19:25
Speaker 8: it was looking at rehoming some of the native birds there,
19:28
Speaker 8: also reducing ours at the sanctuary and redirecting DOC resources elsewhere.
19:34
Speaker 8: It's reported that Doc has met with the chair of
19:37
Speaker 8: the Field and Community Board, neither side though confirming what
19:40
Speaker 8: comes next for the sanctuary, Doc says it was a
19:43
Speaker 8: positive discussion. They voiced their concerns and the challenges being faced.
19:47
Speaker 8: The board says thus satisfied that DOC is considering.
19:50
Speaker 2: All of their options. All right, how's your weather fine
19:53
Speaker 2: for most of today?
19:54
Speaker 8: But chooers this evening possibly heavy gusty norwester eighteen the
19:57
Speaker 8: high today, cheers Colum.
19:59
Speaker 2: Clears in christ Church. Good morning of tu and fro
20:02
Speaker 2: over the water quality in Selwyn.
20:04
Speaker 7: Yeah.
20:05
Speaker 9: This is a Local Democracy report which has looked at
20:07
Speaker 9: a new pilot study testing eighteen private wells in Selwyn.
20:11
Speaker 9: Almost half of them had night rate levels above safe
20:15
Speaker 9: drinking standards. Of course, night rate in water has the
20:18
Speaker 9: potential to cause blue baby syndrome, but there's also growing
20:22
Speaker 9: evidence around its link to bowel cancer. Now, incumbent regional
20:27
Speaker 9: counselors Ian Mackenzie and John Sunknell say the workers underway
20:31
Speaker 9: to turn the tide on the contamination, but they do
20:34
Speaker 9: say these improvements will take some time. But a fellow
20:37
Speaker 9: ECAN counselor candidate, Peter Trolov, says the situation is simply
20:42
Speaker 9: a crisis. He reckons hardly a stream in Selwyn would
20:46
Speaker 9: be under acceptable levels.
20:48
Speaker 2: How's your weather clear?
20:49
Speaker 9: But frosty to start otherwise, mainly find before some high
20:52
Speaker 9: cloud develops toward evening northwesterlies and a high of twenty.
20:56
Speaker 2: Did I hear you got a special award the other day. Clear,
20:59
Speaker 2: I'll stop. What was it? Come on, don't be shy.
21:02
Speaker 9: Well, it's a very christ Church thing, isn't it to
21:04
Speaker 9: talk about what school you went to? But I did
21:06
Speaker 9: go to Saint Margaret's and I'm officially the old girl
21:09
Speaker 9: recipient of this year's arts award.
21:11
Speaker 10: So thanks Saint Margaret's.
21:12
Speaker 2: Hey, congratulations, Clear, very cool. Thank you. Max is in Wellington. Hey, Max,
21:17
Speaker 2: good morning. What have you ever won? Nothing? Andrew Little's
21:20
Speaker 2: gonna win the Miral race.
21:21
Speaker 11: Though, right, Yeah, it's really the type of lead you
21:23
Speaker 11: can only stuff up from here. And Andrew Little's never
21:26
Speaker 11: really been particularly gaff prone, boring safe. I think it's
21:29
Speaker 11: fair to say he is the capital's mayor in waiting.
21:32
Speaker 11: A Q and A poll Andrew Little on fifty eight
21:35
Speaker 11: percent of first preference votes. Ray Chung next best on sixteen.
21:40
Speaker 11: Businessman Carti from Baker ten Iron Calvit six A little,
21:43
Speaker 11: of course, says he's taking nothing for granted, but I
21:45
Speaker 11: think he can. Also making the news. Over the weekend,
21:48
Speaker 11: a social media post using some pretty offensive language posted
21:53
Speaker 11: by campaign group A Better Wellington made its way online.
21:56
Speaker 11: They're affiliated with Ray Chung. I shan't repeat the language,
21:59
Speaker 11: but you get all the buzzwords alongside socialist, communist, trans
22:04
Speaker 11: and others that I shouldn't say. They may be getting
22:07
Speaker 11: a little desperate. It's not been the most inspiring race,
22:09
Speaker 11: and I fear turnout may suffer because of it.
22:12
Speaker 2: But it will be interesting to.
22:13
Speaker 11: See how the council ends up being made up.
22:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that post was form nuts, wasn't it. How is
22:18
Speaker 2: your weather.
22:19
Speaker 11: Max fine today with northerly seventeen the high.
22:22
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you Neva and Auckland, Hey Neva, good morning.
22:25
Speaker 2: Apartment demand for apartments growing, that's right.
22:28
Speaker 12: So research was carried out. This was by commercial real
22:32
Speaker 12: estate company CBRE, and they looked at the demand at
22:35
Speaker 12: two price points. This was one point six million and
22:38
Speaker 12: six hundred thousand. Now what they've found was that demand
22:41
Speaker 12: at the upper price point greatest in Remy era, then
22:45
Speaker 12: in ranking order mount Edens and Hellier's Takapuna, Ebsen, Parnell
22:49
Speaker 12: and Milford.
22:50
Speaker 2: Demand at the.
22:51
Speaker 12: Lower price point is greatest in you know, those centrally
22:54
Speaker 12: located parts of themiss and desirable suburbs and also in
23:00
Speaker 12: suburbs with older singles.
23:01
Speaker 2: So do you have it because as you get older,
23:05
Speaker 2: you love one might pass away and you just need
23:07
Speaker 2: a you know, your apartment, your apartment.
23:13
Speaker 11: That's right.
23:15
Speaker 2: When you went to school, yes, did you how many
23:17
Speaker 2: time ago? How many sick days would you? Could you
23:19
Speaker 2: count on a hand how many you'd have?
23:21
Speaker 1: I didn't.
23:22
Speaker 12: I didn't take many sick days at all. I was
23:24
Speaker 12: pretty good. Actually I loved going to school and didn't
23:27
Speaker 12: learn very much, but I had lots of friends.
23:30
Speaker 2: But the thing is, nowadays, there was we had a
23:32
Speaker 2: principle on saying like twenty thirty percent of the kids
23:34
Speaker 2: are off for justified reasons like sickness. I'm like, how
23:37
Speaker 2: many kids can there be? Second a day?
23:39
Speaker 1: That's right?
23:40
Speaker 12: No, I can't believe it. I mean, was it the
23:42
Speaker 12: resilience factor?
23:43
Speaker 5: Is it?
23:45
Speaker 2: Thresholds?
23:46
Speaker 12: But Laara, but you see, I didn't bunk off either,
23:48
Speaker 12: you know, I love you know I didn't you know
23:50
Speaker 12: how people kids would and then that wag, I didn't
23:54
Speaker 12: mind you of a cargol? Where would you go to?
23:56
Speaker 12: I had a big town center was.
23:58
Speaker 2: The thing that was happening. That's right. How'd sound weather today? Fine?
24:01
Speaker 12: Spells isolated showers? Seventeen is a high.
24:04
Speaker 2: Thanks nevare loads of texts from you on this one. Ryan,
24:07
Speaker 2: My son got sent home from school last week twice.
24:10
Speaker 2: The school said that he was contagious. I took him
24:12
Speaker 2: to the doctors. The doctor said it was just an
24:14
Speaker 2: allergy cough. And when I took him back to the
24:15
Speaker 2: school with the doctor's note, they argued with me. Ryan.
24:19
Speaker 2: Since COVID, our kids desire to go to school has changed.
24:21
Speaker 2: We battle them a small sniffle and they don't want
24:24
Speaker 2: to go to school. Not attending school has become now
24:27
Speaker 2: very acceptable. You don't miss much, it seems anyway. I
24:32
Speaker 2: actually don't think it matters what they're learning. It well,
24:34
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what they're learning at school, but you
24:36
Speaker 2: need to be there because what you're teaching them is
24:39
Speaker 2: eight hours at something away from home, with doing something
24:44
Speaker 2: you don't particularly enjoy doing. That's what it teaches you
24:48
Speaker 2: more than anything. Seventeen away from six News talks there

26:04
Speaker 2: Sir saying the six News Talk to itb twenty six
26:06
Speaker 2: police officers injured one hundred and fifty thousand protesters. This
26:09
Speaker 2: is in central London and nationalists protests and Gavin Gray's
26:12
Speaker 2: our UK europe correspondent with US this morning. Gavin, So
26:16
Speaker 2: it all got a bit heated, did it?
26:19
Speaker 6: Yes, Ryan, it did. I have to say, I think
26:21
Speaker 6: the figures of one hundred and fifty thousand were much
26:24
Speaker 6: much higher than well the organizers expected, and certainly the
26:27
Speaker 6: police too. There was a stand up to racism protest.
26:31
Speaker 6: In other words, the other side of this argument. Also
26:34
Speaker 6: on the day some five thousand people though there and
26:37
Speaker 6: of course fives one hundred and fifty thousand. The police
26:40
Speaker 6: had to separate them and it was while trying to
26:42
Speaker 6: separate them that some violence did break out. At one
26:45
Speaker 6: point a glass bottle being thrown appeared to smash into
26:48
Speaker 6: a horse that came from we believe the far right section.
26:52
Speaker 6: But the police are saying they had a number of injuries.
26:56
Speaker 6: Four were quite seriously injured. Officers suffered broken teeth, concussion,
27:00
Speaker 6: a prolapsed disc, a head injury, a possible broken nose,
27:03
Speaker 6: and yeah, twenty four people arrested. Police are saying they're
27:07
Speaker 6: now going through the camera footage, the digital footage of
27:11
Speaker 6: the incidents in order to try and identify some of
27:15
Speaker 6: those as well. And I think big question marks as
27:18
Speaker 6: well over the language used by Elon Musk, the tech
27:21
Speaker 6: billionaire was on video link transmitted on huge screens to
27:26
Speaker 6: the people there, and some of the language he used
27:29
Speaker 6: will seem, I think to have emboldened those on the
27:32
Speaker 6: far right and well the right as well by saying
27:35
Speaker 6: you've got to get rid of this government. You've got
27:37
Speaker 6: to do it soon. This is effectively a war.
27:41
Speaker 2: And I see starmers come out and condemn the violence,
27:44
Speaker 2: but see everyone's entitled to the Is he in real trouble?
27:47
Speaker 2: I was reading a piece in The Guardian at the
27:48
Speaker 2: weekend about you know, he's looking weak, he's lost Rainer,
27:51
Speaker 2: you know, with the Lord Mendelssohn business. Is this going
27:54
Speaker 2: to come to a heat at some point?
27:57
Speaker 6: Well that's what he's probably trying to avert for the
27:59
Speaker 6: next few days. With a state visit by Donald Trump,
28:03
Speaker 6: that's bound to change the headlines for him, which will
28:05
Speaker 6: help you know you're in trouble right where it's not
28:08
Speaker 6: just the opponents of your political party who are arguing
28:11
Speaker 6: for you to go. There are murmurings within his own
28:14
Speaker 6: political party that he isn't coping and he's got to go.
28:19
Speaker 6: And then I think you really do know you're in
28:21
Speaker 6: political trouble.
28:21
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is very serious for Devin.
28:24
Speaker 2: Thank you. Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent. Yeah, it's
28:26
Speaker 2: interesting because your housing spokesperson or your housing minister, I
28:32
Speaker 2: should say she didn't pay your duties, that she should
28:34
Speaker 2: have paid on the house that she's sold in board
28:36
Speaker 2: another one. I mean, come on, that's basic. And then
28:39
Speaker 2: Lord Mandelson overnight they came out and said, oh, well
28:42
Speaker 2: we knew he had a relationship with Epstein, but we
28:44
Speaker 2: just didn't think it was going to be that big
28:46
Speaker 2: of a deal. Ten to six bridge. So the government
28:51
Speaker 2: seventy million dollars supercharged. The events and tourism funded includes
28:55
Speaker 2: forty million that's ring fenced to lure the likes of
28:58
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift and Coldplay and Pearl Jams. From twenty twenty six.
29:02
Speaker 2: Nixt Saortner is Eden Park CEO to react, Nick, good.
29:04
Speaker 13: Morning, good morning, Ryan, Thanks for your time.
29:07
Speaker 2: Could you put that money into context? How does it
29:09
Speaker 2: compare with past funds and our competitors.
29:14
Speaker 13: Well, we welcome the PM's announcement yesterday. This is great
29:17
Speaker 13: news for business. Historically, music content hasn't been available to
29:21
Speaker 13: attract funding from central government, so it hasn't been available
29:26
Speaker 13: for us to go out and secure content. Globally, it's
29:30
Speaker 13: been focused more on the sports and major event content
29:33
Speaker 13: like World Cup. So this is a paradigm shift for us.
29:36
Speaker 13: It makes us competitive with the East Coast of Australia.
29:39
Speaker 13: Similar funds are available in the likes of Britain and
29:41
Speaker 13: Sydney and Melbourne, so and we Eden Park is uniquely
29:45
Speaker 13: positioned now capitalize on this opportunity.
29:47
Speaker 2: Nick, who's on your wish list?
29:50
Speaker 13: Well, for me personally, any concert that we've seen at
29:53
Speaker 13: Eden Park has been magnificent. When you look at Pink Billy, Joel, Coldplay,
29:57
Speaker 13: Guns and Roses, they've all been phenomenal and already the
30:01
Speaker 13: local businesses are pumped, as you can imagine after COVID
30:05
Speaker 13: there has been a challenge for the hospitality sector. Only
30:08
Speaker 13: two weekends ago, you look at what we're able to
30:11
Speaker 13: deliver with the likes of the sold out all Black
30:13
Speaker 13: tests at the Fortress. Some of the local businesses said
30:16
Speaker 13: it was their biggest date ever in terms of hospitality spend.
30:20
Speaker 13: So this is a great announcement. Since the Rugby World
30:23
Speaker 13: Cup at Eden Park, we've delivered over a billion dollars
30:26
Speaker 13: of gendp benefit of Auckland and yeah, we're very excited
30:30
Speaker 13: with the announcement.
30:30
Speaker 2: Net can we be realistic? And just a really quick
30:32
Speaker 2: question but if we had this fund, would it have
30:35
Speaker 2: been enough to get the lights of Pearl Jam and
30:37
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift?
30:38
Speaker 13: Well, Pearl Jams previously come the likes of Taylor Swift.
30:42
Speaker 13: It's a competitive market, but now we are a genuine
30:46
Speaker 13: player against the East Coast of Australia. So promoters now
30:49
Speaker 13: know and I can assure you I was in contact
30:51
Speaker 13: with a number of promoters last night making them aware
30:54
Speaker 13: that this is available and saying get your application in.
30:57
Speaker 13: Tell us what you want. We want a city that
30:59
Speaker 13: people want to live, stay, playing, work and artists can
31:02
Speaker 13: benefit now from this fund.
31:04
Speaker 2: You've got any names you want to drop.
31:07
Speaker 13: A well, how good would it be if Spice Girls reformed?
31:12
Speaker 2: Next Morner, Eden Park's CEO. That might be You'd need
31:17
Speaker 2: a lot more than seventy million dollars to get those
31:19
Speaker 2: far back together. Eight minutes away from Sex News talks,

31:43

Speaker 2: go into that, it's got a big back end. I've
32:19
Speaker 2: got a dog. Okay, So what's happened is I drove
32:23
Speaker 2: over a road cone and it's buggered. There's a plastic
32:28
Speaker 2: sort of cover that goes under your underneath your car.
32:31
Speaker 2: It's like a guard. Now. The mechanic told me, he's like,
32:34
Speaker 2: don't worry about getting the new one of those. It's
32:36
Speaker 2: six hundred dollars. And I was off the mind.
32:39
Speaker 10: No, you regret it because something you will get flipped
32:42
Speaker 10: up into the car. It protects the underneath of the car.
32:45
Speaker 10: And it's also good for aerodynamics, apart from anything else.
32:47
Speaker 2: Because he said, well, the cars in the sixties didn't
32:50
Speaker 2: have them. They were fine.
32:51
Speaker 10: No, that's correct, but we didn't drive it the same way.
32:54
Speaker 10: You might drive the same way we did in the
32:55
Speaker 10: sixties for six hundred dollars. I'm surprised that it's that cheap,
32:59
Speaker 10: to be frank, most car parts. You can't touch a
33:01
Speaker 10: car part for a couple of thousand dollars. Six hundred dollars.
33:03
Speaker 10: I get it all day long. So yeah, well next time, Well,
33:07
Speaker 10: what happens when you put a rock up under it?
33:08
Speaker 10: What's happened next time? You drive over another road cone
33:11
Speaker 10: and it goes up and smacks your somep and the
33:13
Speaker 10: oil leaks all.
33:14
Speaker 2: Over the road. Yeah, okay, all right, I'll get it done.
33:17
Speaker 2: That's unsensible, Get it sorted.
33:19
Speaker 10: Christopher Luxon is with us this morning, and sir John Coobman.
33:23
Speaker 2: Oh great, what did you make of that fund? Because
33:25
Speaker 2: they said no to America's Cup on the basis that
33:28
Speaker 2: I want to.
