- 0:13Speaker 2: Well, good morning to you. You made it. It's a
- 0:15Speaker 2: wet Friday right across New Zealand. What's happening in the
- 0:18Speaker 2: next hour. Well, weather warnings all up and down the
- 0:20Speaker 2: West Coast and over most of the North Island will
- 0:22Speaker 2: keep you walkeep an eye on the weather for you
- 0:25Speaker 2: if anything pops up. With all the headlines about the
- 0:27Speaker 2: health system being in chaos, the government releases a report
- 0:30Speaker 2: that says three out of the five targets they set
- 0:32Speaker 2: have been achieved. Do we believe those figures? And as
- 0:36Speaker 2: the system as broken as it's perceived to be. That
- 0:38Speaker 2: story in five the Battle of Yuki and Liam, where
- 0:41Speaker 2: we preview the Japanese Grand Prix and the acid test
- 0:44Speaker 2: of our driver and his old car, and what's the
- 0:47Speaker 2: beef about the tariffs? We talk with the New Zealand
- 0:49Speaker 2: meat industry on the impact of Donald Trump's moves. Yesterday
- 0:52Speaker 2: we'll have this, We'll have correspondence from right around the world.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Vincent mcavenni coming to us from Europe and correspondents from
- 1:00Speaker 2: New Zealand and you can have your say by using
- 1:02Speaker 2: the text machine and the numbers to use is ninety
- 1:05Speaker 2: two ninety two. It's small charge applies. It's seven after five.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The agenda.
- 1:10Speaker 2: It's Friday, the fourth of vegdel first of the United States,
- 1:13Speaker 2: where the world has been reacting to the slew of
- 1:16Speaker 2: new tariffs from Donald Trump. There will be a ten
- 1:18Speaker 2: percent based on tariff in all countries, while roughly sixty
- 1:21Speaker 2: countries who have been deemed the worst of vendors for
- 1:24Speaker 2: unfair trade practices have each received a higher individual tariff rate.
- 1:29Speaker 2: The EU gets twenty percent, China fifty four, Japan twenty four,
- 1:33Speaker 2: and foreign made cars we'll get twenty five.
- 1:36Speaker 3: For decades, our country has been looted, pillage, raped, and
- 1:40Speaker 3: plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.
- 1:44Speaker 3: American steel workers, auto workers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen, they
- 1:49Speaker 3: really suffered gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders
- 1:53Speaker 3: have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So the trade war is on, and the UK has
- 2:01Speaker 2: drawn up a four hundred page list of US products
- 2:06Speaker 2: it could hit with tariffs. And meanwhile EU Chief Ishula
- 2:10Speaker 2: von Delayan has called Trump's tariffs a major blow to
- 2:13Speaker 2: the world economy, and China has promised countermeasures.
- 2:17Speaker 4: The global economy will massively suffer, uncertainty will spiral and
- 2:23Speaker 4: trigger the rise of further protectionism.
- 2:26Speaker 5: The consequences will.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Be dire for millions of people around the globe.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Now to the UK and the Charity Commission there has
- 2:34Speaker 2: announced an investigation into the bitter dispute surrounding the Center Ballet,
- 2:38Speaker 2: charity that Prince Harry co founded. The Duke of Sussex
- 2:41Speaker 2: says he hopes it will unveil the truth. The Watchdog
- 2:45Speaker 2: says it opened a case to examine concerns rays about
- 2:48Speaker 2: Center Bali following claims made by its head, Miss Shandalka.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Sophie Shandalka previously said she had reported the trustees to
- 2:56Speaker 2: the Charity Commission and made a whistle blower complaint about issues,
- 3:00Speaker 2: including what she described as an abusive power, bullying, sexism
- 3:04Speaker 2: and racism.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of
- 3:10Speaker 5: news to the outside world and can you imagine what
- 3:14Speaker 5: that attack has done?
- 3:16Speaker 7: That is an.
- 3:16Speaker 8: Example of harassment and pudding at scale.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Well on that with Vincent mcavenny later on. And finally,
- 3:23Speaker 2: the newbie Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for Red Bull
- 3:26Speaker 2: this weekend in the Formula one Grand Prix in Japan,
- 3:29Speaker 2: replacing Liam Lawson who was demoted to the Racing Bulls
- 3:32Speaker 2: team last week. And Yuki seems very confident.
- 3:36Speaker 9: I don't think I have to change my driving style
- 3:37Speaker 9: because Indian so far it works well. I guess, you know,
- 3:43Speaker 9: with vcar otherwise probably I wouldn't be here where this logo.
- 3:47Speaker 9: So I just do whatever I was doing previously.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Good Eric Thompson on the big race and the test
- 3:57Speaker 2: of the car and Liam in about ten minutes time.
- 4:00Speaker 7: Five the first Word on the News of the Day
- 4:04Speaker 7: early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your
- 4:07Speaker 7: Property Search and Sivil you talk Sippy.
- 4:11Speaker 2: So so she's a bit west and it's been a
- 4:13Speaker 2: bit wet on the West Coast. But look, here's the thing,
- 4:15Speaker 2: here's the story out of the coast. And I love
- 4:17Speaker 2: it when I see public officials thinking ahead. So here's
- 4:21Speaker 2: the thing. The West Coast Regional Council is continuing with
- 4:24Speaker 2: its campaign to have Bailey Bridges kept locally permanently. So
- 4:29Speaker 2: at the moment the NZATA stores the temporary bridge units
- 4:32Speaker 2: at Burnham that's near Christchurch, and then sends them around
- 4:35Speaker 2: the country as needed in emergencies like the floods that
- 4:37Speaker 2: devastated Hawks Bay and Cyclone Gabrielle. But the West Coast
- 4:41Speaker 2: Regional Transport Committee once some bridges stored west of the Alps,
- 4:45Speaker 2: then they could deploy them more swiftly when disaster strikes. Now, look,
- 4:49Speaker 2: it's pouring on the coast as we speak. The area,
- 4:52Speaker 2: due to its geography, attracts an awful lot of rain
- 4:54Speaker 2: that floods a lot. And between the coast and Burnham
- 4:57Speaker 2: in Canterbury is the southern Elms, which also become somewhat
- 5:01Speaker 2: impassable when the weather turns really feral. So when floods strike,
- 5:06Speaker 2: which they will invariably do, the council says, let's have
- 5:08Speaker 2: some bridges here so we can get the region moving quickly.
- 5:12Speaker 2: That is called productivity. But NZTA the bureaucrats don't want to.
- 5:17Speaker 2: They fear if the bridges are stored on the coast
- 5:19Speaker 2: they may rust over. That seems a little overly paranoid.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Now the coast has had some winds recently for self sufficiently,
- 5:28Speaker 2: they've got some bulk fuel storage there now, so if
- 5:31Speaker 2: it all closes down, they can keep the cars running.
- 5:34Speaker 2: They've wanted a hydro electric plant in store, but that's
- 5:36Speaker 2: always been denied because of you know, snails or something
- 5:40Speaker 2: like that. But here's the thing. If we're going to
- 5:42Speaker 2: inhabit one of the most remote regions in the world,
- 5:45Speaker 2: with dramatic weather and the threat of earthquakes, then surely
- 5:48Speaker 2: we should make them more self sufficient. So I say,
- 5:51Speaker 2: give the coast their bridges and give the coast their
- 5:53Speaker 2: hydro Yep, it's twelve after five. Another little story about bureaucrats.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Kaying Aura is set to remove six hundred jobs and
- 6:03Speaker 2: this is part of the pub's public service rationalization. To
- 6:07Speaker 2: be fair, of those six hundred jobs, one hundred and
- 6:09Speaker 2: ninety five positions are currently not filled, so it's really
- 6:12Speaker 2: about four hundred jobs that go now. It is true
- 6:15Speaker 2: that since twenty nineteen, when kang or Aura was established,
- 6:19Speaker 2: that job numbers have ballooned, but it's also true that
- 6:22Speaker 2: the scale of construction has increased markedly. Labour couldn't build
- 6:26Speaker 2: ki we build houses, but it could build social housing.
- 6:29Speaker 2: And to be doubly fair, they did that on the
- 6:32Speaker 2: back of the National government that preceded it who started
- 6:35Speaker 2: an age of social housing suburb regeneration. So this move
- 6:39Speaker 2: is a big tyhoe on the progress we made over
- 6:41Speaker 2: the last ten years, and that's probably to be expected
- 6:43Speaker 2: after such growth. But you know, we still have a
- 6:46Speaker 2: lot of demand for social housing now. The outcome we're
- 6:50Speaker 2: hoping for from these public service cuts is a rebalanced
- 6:53Speaker 2: public economy, and when that happens, we might be able
- 6:56Speaker 2: to create a balanced social housing sector. Feel for the
- 7:00Speaker 2: KO workers who join a legion of construction sector layoffs.
- 7:05Speaker 2: But here's the thing. We must get away from the
- 7:08Speaker 2: boom and bust economic cycles we've fallen into over the
- 7:11Speaker 2: years five fourteen. So apparently, according to the government, we're
- 7:16Speaker 2: doing quite well in health. There are five goals and
- 7:19Speaker 2: they reckon we've had three of them. Is this true
- 7:21Speaker 2: or is this not? We're going to talk to Malcolm
- 7:23Speaker 2: mulholland next, the Chairperson of Patient Voices are Terrah. It's
- 7:28Speaker 2: News Talks here B It's five fourteen.
- 7:32Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
- 7:37Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and One Roof to Make Your Property Search Simple,
- 7:41Speaker 1: Youth Talks.
- 7:42Speaker 2: It B sixteen After five I'm Fillagan for Ryan Bridge,
- 7:45Speaker 2: who will be back in a fortnight and a bit,
- 7:47Speaker 2: which also means that Heather will be back at a
- 7:49Speaker 2: fortnight in a bit. So the government's health targets seem
- 7:52Speaker 2: to be on track. This is according to data released
- 7:55Speaker 2: by Health New Zealand. Three out of the five goals
- 7:57Speaker 2: are making good progress, with youth immunization rates and access
- 8:01Speaker 2: to cancer care improving. So I'm joined now by the
- 8:04Speaker 2: patient of the chair of Patient voices Alter and Malcolm
- 8:09Speaker 2: mal Holland. Wanting to you, Malcolm, thank you for getting
- 8:11Speaker 2: up early.
- 8:11Speaker 9: How are you?
- 8:12Speaker 10: Yeah, good, thank you.
- 8:13Speaker 2: You doubt this data.
- 8:16Speaker 10: Very much. I've spoken to clinicians, oncologists, people who work
- 8:21Speaker 10: in ed and none of them can believe, you know,
- 8:24Speaker 10: the story that the data is saying.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Well, yes, we've heard lots of complaints about underfunding in
- 8:30Speaker 2: the health sector. We've heard about Nelson this week, we've
- 8:32Speaker 2: heard about Wanica, and yet the government says the statistics
- 8:36Speaker 2: are improving. How can they improve in spite of these accusations.
- 8:40Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, look, one of the metrics that is used
- 8:44Speaker 10: is about faster cancer treatment. So in that case, looking
- 8:48Speaker 10: at the time from the first appointment to the first treatment,
- 8:51Speaker 10: that's the wrong metric to be measuring. They need to
- 8:54Speaker 10: be looking at from the time of diagnosis to the
- 8:56Speaker 10: first appointment. We know that there are patients who are
- 9:00Speaker 10: waiting eight weeks or longer at Wikatil, christ Each Wellington
- 9:03Speaker 10: in Southland, and in some of those cases the outcome
- 9:06Speaker 10: has been lethal. The patients have waited too long to
- 9:10Speaker 10: keep their first appointment. As a result, the tenser have
- 9:12Speaker 10: spread and there's very little the oncologists can do at
- 9:14Speaker 10: that point.
- 9:16Speaker 2: So you say the government as making a statement for
- 9:19Speaker 2: political reasons, and others might argue that you're making your
- 9:22Speaker 2: statements for political reasons because the government is investing thirty
- 9:26Speaker 2: billion dollars a year into the health system. That's an
- 9:29Speaker 2: awful lot of money.
- 9:31Speaker 10: Oh absolutely it is, and I would love to know
- 9:35Speaker 10: you know how that thirty billion is spent. But my
- 9:38Speaker 10: motivations aren't political. They come from what is happening on
- 9:43Speaker 10: the ground. Another metric that is provided is around edy
- 9:47Speaker 10: wake times. We note that the Eddie wake times don't
- 9:50Speaker 10: include walkout. We heard about Nelson where there was a
- 9:54Speaker 10: case where live a damage was caused by a walkout.
- 9:57Speaker 10: I'm aware of a case here at mid Central where
- 10:00Speaker 10: a patient went to ED saw that it was overwhelmed,
- 10:03Speaker 10: walked out died the following day at hospice. And we
- 10:07Speaker 10: also know that there were practices in the wider upper
- 10:10Speaker 10: in Auckland where eds were cooking the books. They were
- 10:15Speaker 10: registering patients being admitted virtually, but they weren't actually being seen,
- 10:21Speaker 10: and they were doing that as they neared the six
- 10:25Speaker 10: hour time frame.
- 10:27Speaker 2: But that's what the government's fault necessarily, that's actually the
- 10:29Speaker 2: people on the ground at Health New Zealand, particularly that
- 10:31Speaker 2: ED you mentioned, who you claim was cooking the box.
- 10:35Speaker 10: Yeah, look, I think it does need to be a
- 10:38Speaker 10: level of honesty. But as I said to you, I've
- 10:40Speaker 10: engaged with nurses who have been working in these ED
- 10:43Speaker 10: departments and they claim that the practice is very much
- 10:47Speaker 10: alive and kicking, and that that comes from a certain
- 10:50Speaker 10: level of management who want to impress the government, who
- 10:53Speaker 10: want to look good.
- 10:54Speaker 2: All right, Malcolm and Holland, keep fixing out people, and
- 10:56Speaker 2: I thank you. Chairperson of Patient Voices, Alta Rara's nineteen
- 10:59Speaker 2: minutes after five texts through apparently no rain in part
- 11:02Speaker 2: South Taranaki yet, just lots of wind. Can I tell
- 11:05Speaker 2: you where I am coming into work? I aquaplane to work.
- 11:08Speaker 2: There were emergency crews all over the place. We had
- 11:10Speaker 2: a power cut at about two o'clock in the morning,
- 11:12Speaker 2: which actually caused our alarm to go to start whistling.
- 11:17Speaker 2: For some reason. The whole light came on. The washing
- 11:19Speaker 2: machine decided to come on, and Helen got up and
- 11:22Speaker 2: walk around the place and said, our house is haunted.
- 11:24Speaker 2: And I said, no, I think that's just been an
- 11:25Speaker 2: earth I think that's just been an electric power cut.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Love and it's just come back on again. So yeah,
- 11:30Speaker 2: bit of stormy weather. But about time it is twenty
- 11:32Speaker 2: after five. Talking of storms. You know about the battle
- 11:36Speaker 2: or sorry, should I say the Ballads of Yoko and
- 11:38Speaker 2: No Yoko? And what is it? The Ballad of John
- 11:42Speaker 2: and Yoko? That's the Beatles song. Well, I'm changed this
- 11:45Speaker 2: to the Battle of Yuki and Liam. The Japanese Grand
- 11:49Speaker 2: Prix is happening this weekend and the real attention is
- 11:53Speaker 2: at the back of the field, So we'll talk about
- 11:56Speaker 2: this in a few moments time with Eric Thompson.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Pretty Views and Views You Trust has done your day.
- 12:01Speaker 1: It's early edition with Andrew Dickens and One Roof Make
- 12:05Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple, New Talk.
- 12:08Speaker 2: They'd be excuse me, just too keen to get into it.
- 12:10Speaker 2: It's twenty two after five. Formula One hits Japan this weekend.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Liam Lawson to race for the first time since dropping
- 12:15Speaker 2: to the Racing Bulls. Lawson's replacement, who we've already heard
- 12:18Speaker 2: from this hour, Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for the
- 12:22Speaker 2: main team on Sunday. Eric Thompson is a motoring journalist
- 12:25Speaker 2: and has got up early for us. Good morning to you, Eric,
- 12:28Speaker 2: Good morning Andrew.
- 12:28Speaker 11: How are you.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I am good. Do we expect any bitterness or awkwardness
- 12:32Speaker 2: or maybe some elbow out racing between Liam and Yuki?
- 12:37Speaker 11: Maybe some elbow out racing. Lawson has already shown that
- 12:41Speaker 11: he's not scared of anybody on the track, you know,
- 12:43Speaker 11: he's upset Fernando Alonso and a few other people. So yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 11: I think I don't think elbows out will be an issue.
- 12:50Speaker 11: Is certainly not going to hopefully he's not going to
- 12:52Speaker 11: try and change his driving style. But those two have
- 12:54Speaker 11: been friends since junior junior days, so I think there
- 12:58Speaker 11: will be a little bit of a strain on there.
- 13:01Speaker 11: You know, it's like your best you know, you get
- 13:03Speaker 11: the big gig and then all of a sudden, you
- 13:06Speaker 11: know you're still mates because you've got the big gigs,
- 13:08Speaker 11: and then all of a sudden you all sort of
- 13:09Speaker 11: move sideways for your your best mate to get the
- 13:12Speaker 11: big gig. So and you know, egos are a play
- 13:16Speaker 11: in that sport and supports.
- 13:18Speaker 2: And this is what makes it so watchable. So look,
- 13:21Speaker 2: this is a test for Liam, but it's also a
- 13:23Speaker 2: test for the rebel car. Lawson claimed it was a dog.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yuki said this week it's okay Liam. Fans will want
- 13:31Speaker 2: to see Yuki at the back of the track to
- 13:32Speaker 2: prove that Liam wasn't as bad a driver as some account.
- 13:36Speaker 11: I get what a great summation Andrew, yes, exactly. But
- 13:40Speaker 11: the thing is Liam Lawson, after his days on the
- 13:43Speaker 11: simulator it's did a very similar similar thing to Sonoda.
- 13:46Speaker 11: Before the start of the seat he said, oh the
- 13:47Speaker 11: car is not that bad. I quite enjoy driving it.
- 13:50Speaker 11: But although simulators are close, they're not the real thing.
- 13:54Speaker 11: It's like having virtuality goggles on and you're playing your
- 13:58Speaker 11: immersed inside a game. You you think it's real, but
- 14:01Speaker 11: it's not real. And I think in about fifteen minutes
- 14:06Speaker 11: pre practice starts, so in about half an hour we'll
- 14:09Speaker 11: see how good a Sonoda is in that car.
- 14:12Speaker 2: All right, I have one last question for you. I
- 14:13Speaker 2: have one last question for you, because this has been
- 14:16Speaker 2: worrying me. Do you think UB's RB twenty one, the
- 14:19Speaker 2: Red Bull car has been fixed in the fortnight since
- 14:22Speaker 2: the last race, changing conditions?
- 14:25Speaker 11: No, because that car's fundamental problem is in the chassis.
- 14:28Speaker 11: It's very nervy at the rear and very pointy at
- 14:32Speaker 11: the front, which means everything's on the front. And there's
- 14:34Speaker 11: very few drivers in the world that can drive a
- 14:36Speaker 11: car like that makes the steff and just happens to
- 14:38Speaker 11: be one of them. So there's no way they can
- 14:40Speaker 11: completely change the geometry of their car in a couple
- 14:43Speaker 11: of weeks. They can't try the arrow and other things.
- 14:45Speaker 2: But yea yeah, well, well that's exactly what Liam did
- 14:48Speaker 2: in the last two races, and that didn't work either.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I am really looking forward to that race, Eric Thompson,
- 14:51Speaker 2: I thank you for your time. News Talks there B.
- 14:54Speaker 2: It is five twenty five.
- 14:55Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How These
- 15:00Speaker 1: Talks of Me.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Newest Talks B five twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickens. The
- 15:05Speaker 2: age of globalization is dead. Trump has withdrawn America. Now
- 15:13Speaker 2: we're in an age of blocks, nations that agree to
- 15:17Speaker 2: trade with each other, nations that have commonality. So who
- 15:22Speaker 2: are our friends and who are our friends that we
- 15:25Speaker 2: get on with, and who are our friends we can
- 15:28Speaker 2: trade with? China is our biggest trade friend, but is
- 15:32Speaker 2: China our friend friend?
- 15:34Speaker 5: No?
- 15:34Speaker 11: That not.
- 15:35Speaker 2: So we're now into a period of delicate negotiations and
- 15:38Speaker 2: that's going to cause less than perfect trade deals. Now
- 15:42Speaker 2: what do we do about America? Some have said the
- 15:44Speaker 2: situation that we are experiencing is not too bad ten
- 15:48Speaker 2: percent as we speak, But our trade with America is
- 15:50Speaker 2: nine billion a years. Are ten percent is near enough?
- 15:53Speaker 2: A billion dollars which is not inconsiderable? So what should
- 15:57Speaker 2: we do? The Trade Minister and the Prime Minister say
- 15:59Speaker 2: it would be four to retaliate. We're not in the
- 16:01Speaker 2: same weight class. That's true. I just had this random
- 16:05Speaker 2: thought that maybe we should go to the Trump playbook.
- 16:07Speaker 2: We all know that Trump likes to go big and
- 16:09Speaker 2: then pull back to his bottom line. So should we
- 16:12Speaker 2: go back and say, okay, let's call it five and
- 16:16Speaker 2: then wait to see where the cards lie? Who knows?
- 16:19Speaker 2: What I do know, though, is that the world is
- 16:21Speaker 2: in chaos Russia, China, Israel, Ukraine, tariffs and inflation is lurking,
- 16:30Speaker 2: an uncertainty has not gone away, and people are wandering
- 16:33Speaker 2: around using the D word every now and then, depression.
- 16:38Speaker 2: So it is a time for circumspection and recognizing that
- 16:41Speaker 2: the elephants are dancing and we are but mice Andrews.
- 16:47Speaker 2: And we'll talk to the meat industry just before sex
- 16:48Speaker 2: and ask them about their concerns and whether they're happy
- 16:51Speaker 2: enough with the situation as it exists. So that's still
- 16:54Speaker 2: to come. And I've got some Bruce Springsteen news for you.
- 16:56Speaker 2: And also you may have heard yesterday that a scooter
- 16:59Speaker 2: thieving ring had been busted and I had a number
- 17:01Speaker 2: of texts and people asking, well, was your wife's scooter
- 17:05Speaker 2: one of the wife's one of the scooters recovered. I'll
- 17:09Speaker 2: tell you that story in about five minutes time, right
- 17:12Speaker 2: here on News TALKB. This is early edition. I'm Andrew Dickens.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I can't get to talk.
- 17:26Speaker 7: I can't get to you from.
- 17:29Speaker 12: Talking.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Try talking. I can't go to all this lame night talking.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on early Edition with one roof, Make your
- 17:44Speaker 1: Property search simple, used dog Zibbycome.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Dude, thank you for choosing our programs for Friday. I'm
- 17:59Speaker 2: Andrew Dickinson for Iron Bridge. You can text me on
- 18:02Speaker 2: ninety two ninety two. Ben's just said it. Note cheer up, Andrew.
- 18:06Speaker 2: The tariffs are not that bad. It won't affect us
- 18:08Speaker 2: down here. Well, that may or may not be true, Ben,
- 18:11Speaker 2: I mean we may get through, okay. I'm not really
- 18:13Speaker 2: worried about us. I'm or worried about the rest of
- 18:15Speaker 2: the world to be fair, and then what will happen
- 18:17Speaker 2: to us because of that? I mean, they're certainly having
- 18:19Speaker 2: a fight. More on this with Vincent Macaveni in a
- 18:21Speaker 2: few moments time. Bruce Springsteen's releasing a new album. Actually
- 18:24Speaker 2: it's not an album, it's a box set. It's called
- 18:28Speaker 2: Tracks two. The Lost Albums comes out June twenty seventh.
- 18:32Speaker 2: It includes recordings made between eighty three and twenty eighteen,
- 18:36Speaker 2: eighty three songs that have never been released before. Apparently,
- 18:40Speaker 2: it's seven complete albums, each of which was recorded and abandoned,
- 18:45Speaker 2: which shows you just how good Bruce Springsteen is just
- 18:48Speaker 2: to have seven. He went, no, I won't release those,
- 18:51Speaker 2: but I'm sure that will brilliant Now, yesterday we heard
- 18:54Speaker 2: that an e scooter thieving ring had been busted, and
- 18:57Speaker 2: a number of people have texted an emailed me asking
- 18:59Speaker 2: was heaven's my partners which got stolen last week downtown?
- 19:04Speaker 2: No it's not, but here is what's happened in the
- 19:07Speaker 2: past week. We asked the hotel for CCTV footage it
- 19:11Speaker 2: was stolen outside a hotel. They said, you got to
- 19:13Speaker 2: go and ask the police. Okay, so then we had
- 19:15Speaker 2: to go onto the web to ask the police. This
- 19:18Speaker 2: has moved glacially, but yesterday they finally acknowledged it. And
- 19:21Speaker 2: now we wait. This is a week after the theft. Right,
- 19:24Speaker 2: of course we're looking for a replacement. So we went
- 19:26Speaker 2: to the scooter shop. They said, there are pro gangs
- 19:30Speaker 2: who really know what they're doing these days, roaming all
- 19:32Speaker 2: our cities stealing scooters and e bikes. They can hack
- 19:36Speaker 2: the scooter and they hacked ours. We have an app
- 19:39Speaker 2: with a find my scooter function on it for the scooter.
- 19:42Speaker 2: They disabled that within an hour. The criminals import charges
- 19:46Speaker 2: so they can on sell them. They have battery powered
- 19:49Speaker 2: angle grinders that can make short work of a lock,
- 19:52Speaker 2: so now you can buy angle grinder proof d locks.
- 19:57Speaker 2: They cost six hundred dollars a throw. Helen's scooter is
- 20:02Speaker 2: relatively rare. It's a bright orange dual motor in motion climber.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Please look out for it. It's designed for hilly places
- 20:09Speaker 2: like New Zealand. It can go like the Clappers. It
- 20:11Speaker 2: can go forty five k. Now, we have been looking
- 20:14Speaker 2: out for it on trade me, but the scooter shop says, well,
- 20:17Speaker 2: they won't do it on trade me. They actually have
- 20:19Speaker 2: a sophisticated on selling program. Now, crimes only work if
- 20:24Speaker 2: someone complicit doesn't ask questions about where the stolen stuff
- 20:29Speaker 2: comes from. It's called receiving and you're still a criminal
- 20:32Speaker 2: if you do that. And this whole story is making
- 20:35Speaker 2: me feel like the crims are one step ahead of us.
- 20:42Speaker 2: And the other thing about all of this is insurance.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Because you get no satisfaction from the police, you don't
- 20:50Speaker 2: find your scooter again, it's gone. It's gone. So what
- 20:53Speaker 2: do you do? You go to the insurance. So the
- 20:54Speaker 2: insurance people are now paying out a fortune on stolen
- 20:58Speaker 2: e bikes and Nolan stolen Scio because, as I say,
- 21:02Speaker 2: the crims are one step ahead. Were good to go.
- 21:08Speaker 2: It is twenty one to six. Let's go right around
- 21:11Speaker 2: the country. And Callum Procter joins us right now from Dunedin.
- 21:13Speaker 4: How the Callum you good warning.
- 21:16Speaker 2: So we've got the first test results back from the
- 21:17Speaker 2: wastewater which has been discharged into the Shotover River in Queenstown.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Here we do, and it's good news. The Queenstown Lake
- 21:25Speaker 4: District Council started releasing this wastewater into the river daily
- 21:29Speaker 4: on Monday, twelve thousand cubic meters each day. The results
- 21:33Speaker 4: are so far well within consented limits set by the
- 21:37Speaker 4: Otaga Regional Council. The council says these samples were taken
- 21:41Speaker 4: immediately downstream and what they do is reflect the well
- 21:44Speaker 4: operating treatment plant. They say the water will be monitored
- 21:47Speaker 4: more upstream in the future, which will ensure that they
- 21:50Speaker 4: get a full understanding of any effects of this discharge.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Well that's the most important thing. Yeah, we don't want
- 21:55Speaker 2: the river polluted. Now, how's your weather.
- 21:58Speaker 4: It's fine in twenty five today, but we've got possible
- 22:01Speaker 4: heavy sundery shells this afternoon with a fresh sour all.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Right, Claire, sure it joins us now from Crushers. Hella Claire,
- 22:07Speaker 2: good morning. So we've had the inquest and the results
- 22:10Speaker 2: into the fatal boat capsize off Kaikoura back in twenty
- 22:13Speaker 2: twenty two. This whole story is absolutely horrific. The details
- 22:17Speaker 2: are horrific. Air pockets with petrol fumes from a leak.
- 22:20Speaker 2: It just it's a horrible story, exactly.
- 22:22Speaker 8: I remember it while it was terrible at the time
- 22:24Speaker 8: and still terrible now, Andrew.
- 22:25Speaker 11: Look.
- 22:26Speaker 8: Five of the eleven who were on board the boat
- 22:28Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two died when it flipped in Goose Bay,
- 22:32Speaker 8: just off the coast of kai Kota. At the time,
- 22:34Speaker 8: I remember there being a lot of suggestion that this
- 22:36Speaker 8: boat may have struck a whale causing it to flip,
- 22:39Speaker 8: but that's something that had to be confirmed by investigators.
- 22:42Speaker 8: Now the investigation has revealed that it virtually certain to
- 22:46Speaker 8: have happened. It must have hit a whale and then flipped.
- 22:49Speaker 8: The interesting part, as you say, is the Transport accident
- 22:52Speaker 8: investigation commissions found the deaths, though were due to leaking
- 22:56Speaker 8: fuel fumes as well as cold water and the confined
- 22:59Speaker 8: space base the pocket underneath the boat once it had flipped.
- 23:02Speaker 8: It's made seven recommendations to emergency services and had bid
- 23:06Speaker 8: to resolve what's been found to be six major safety issues.
- 23:09Speaker 8: The local MP Nationals Stuart Smith says the survivors and
- 23:13Speaker 8: families who lost loved ones on that day still have
- 23:15Speaker 8: to live with the outcome, but he is hopeful that
- 23:18Speaker 8: future incidents can be prevented now. He says, accidents are
- 23:21Speaker 8: called accidents for a reason and it almost seems like
- 23:24Speaker 8: this was an act of God.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Okay, so how's christ Rich's weather today?
- 23:29Speaker 8: A bit of an odd one here, quite warm. The
- 23:31Speaker 8: high will be twenty six, but we do have some
- 23:33Speaker 8: showers about. It could be heavy at times and northerlyast
- 23:36Speaker 8: turning southwest.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Thank you have a great weekend. Max Told joins me
- 23:39Speaker 2: from Wellington High Max, good morning. You've got a crime
- 23:42Speaker 2: spree in Wellington.
- 23:43Speaker 12: Yeah, it appears so police having to bolster the district.
- 23:47Speaker 12: We're bringing in fifteen more investigators to deal with this.
- 23:50Speaker 12: You've got a British couple who have found dead in
- 23:52Speaker 12: a suspected murder suicide in Roseleath on Monday. The next day,
- 23:56Speaker 12: a man was found that outside a home in the
- 23:58Speaker 12: suburb of Northland. That death still unexplained. We do know
- 24:03Speaker 12: that the victim is Simon Baird, a local described as
- 24:05Speaker 12: a gentleman and a lovely man. Police also now believe
- 24:08Speaker 12: the death of sixty three year old Abdul Nabi Zada
- 24:11Speaker 12: last month in Mirrama is linked to that awful home
- 24:16Speaker 12: invasion nearby and Mirramian which the homeowners scuffled with the intruder.
- 24:20Speaker 12: A man has already been arrested for the home invasion.
- 24:24Speaker 12: The former is a homicide investigation, so further charges are possible.
- 24:28Speaker 12: Police acknowledging there's been an unusual spate of serious investigations
- 24:32Speaker 12: launched in recent weeks. Most importantly, though, they say, no
- 24:36Speaker 12: additional reason to be concerned.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Good stuff and I thank you. And what's Willington's weather?
- 24:42Speaker 12: Some early rain and stronger winds, high of twenty central
- 24:46Speaker 12: to walk on we go neave A written man, A.
- 24:47Speaker 6: Good morning, We've made it to Friday.
- 24:49Speaker 10: Yay.
- 24:50Speaker 2: This pervert who've secretly filmed twenty two women and girls,
- 24:55Speaker 2: well what a piece of work.
- 24:56Speaker 6: Despicable.
- 24:57Speaker 8: I agree with you.
- 24:58Speaker 6: Look the sceedencing of this man secretly filmed twenty two
- 25:01Speaker 6: women and girls. Now this was prompted warnings about predator tactics.
- 25:05Speaker 6: Auckland man Micah Fuller. Now he's facing four years in prison.
- 25:09Speaker 6: He pleaded guilty to forty two charges relating to the offending. Now,
- 25:12Speaker 6: many of the twenty two victims, they were recorded as
- 25:14Speaker 6: they showered, undressed and they were using the toilet. So
- 25:17Speaker 6: the government's chief victim's advocate, Ruth's money, she's come out.
- 25:20Speaker 6: She says public messaging is key to addressing the risks,
- 25:23Speaker 6: and she says that look, everyone needs to be aware
- 25:25Speaker 6: of the dangers around them.
- 25:27Speaker 2: I was watching the Telly last night and there was
- 25:29Speaker 2: a very brave woman who came on. She was a victim,
- 25:32Speaker 2: or excuse me, she was a victim. I thought she
- 25:36Speaker 2: was very brave to come on and say stuff.
- 25:37Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, you know what's going on. You're fine now?
- 25:42Speaker 6: Was that your cup of tea?
- 25:43Speaker 2: I'm having a kind of tea while are you talking
- 25:44Speaker 2: about choked? Don't you worry? How's awkards?
- 25:48Speaker 6: Were the rain with heavy falls? And we do need
- 25:50Speaker 6: this rain easing to a few shellers in the afternoon.
- 25:52Speaker 6: We're going to high twenty three. But I can say
- 25:53Speaker 6: that it's going to be fine and sunny for Saturday,
- 25:56Speaker 6: so that'll be.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Got to all right. The tariffs, how are they going
- 25:58Speaker 2: to affect us? And mostly how's it going to affect meat.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I mean, the industry is joining me. Before six it's
- 26:04Speaker 2: news talks. It'll be.
- 26:06Speaker 1: International correspondence on news talks.
- 26:09Speaker 2: It'd be it's about thirteen minutes to six m. We're
- 26:13Speaker 2: after Europe Vincent Mecha, vinigod morning to you, Good morning.
- 26:17Speaker 2: So the European reaction to Donald Trump's turffs.
- 26:21Speaker 13: Yeah, like all governments around the world, the UK and
- 26:24Speaker 13: Europe is trying to figure out what to do now
- 26:26Speaker 13: in response, and we're taking slightly different paths. The UK
- 26:30Speaker 13: feels it's close to actually securing a trade deal with
- 26:33Speaker 13: the United States, and so we are still staying on
- 26:37Speaker 13: this sort of uncritical, calm steady path in the hope
- 26:41Speaker 13: that we can get that done quickly. Our rate was
- 26:43Speaker 13: only put at ten percent. We're much more of a
- 26:45Speaker 13: services based economy, we've got less of a trade deficit.
- 26:48Speaker 13: So Kirstarmer hoping that he can do something soon. Are
- 26:52Speaker 13: two primary exports for the US Auto's those obviously are
- 26:55Speaker 13: at twenty five percent. Pharmaceuticals. Those have been given a
- 26:58Speaker 13: temporary reprieve. So there is hope here in London something
- 27:01Speaker 13: can be done, but of course there'll be knock on
- 27:03Speaker 13: effects from everywhere else around the world. Europe though much
- 27:06Speaker 13: bigger manufacturer compared to the United Kingdom. They've been pretty
- 27:10Speaker 13: robust saying they're going to move quickly to retaliatory measures
- 27:13Speaker 13: and they're not happy with this, saying it's a major
- 27:15Speaker 13: blow to the world economy.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Yes, and people concern that the war may be overly
- 27:22Speaker 2: recissionary for the whole globe.
- 27:25Speaker 13: Yeah, I think that, you know, keep hearing the adage
- 27:27Speaker 13: that no one actually wins in the trade war, and
- 27:29Speaker 13: ultimately the people that pay are consumers. So I think
- 27:32Speaker 13: there is a lot of bewilderment about what's going on.
- 27:34Speaker 13: It is a total rewiring of the global economy, and
- 27:38Speaker 13: some people can see, you know, Donald Trump is right
- 27:40Speaker 13: about wanting to reshure a lot of jobs and get
- 27:43Speaker 13: people into quality jobs, but they also feel like this
- 27:46Speaker 13: is going to be a massive shock to the system
- 27:48Speaker 13: after a decade, Let's be honest. Where for here in
- 27:51Speaker 13: the UK, we had the shock of Brexit, then we
- 27:53Speaker 13: had the pandemic, and then we've had the war in Ukraine.
- 27:56Speaker 13: People are quite fed up with these kind of shocks
- 27:58Speaker 13: all right.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Now we move to the between Prince Harry and his
- 28:02Speaker 2: charity center Ballet and now we have an investigation.
- 28:06Speaker 13: Yeah, the Charity Commission here in the UK is announced
- 28:08Speaker 13: the first stage and a potential investigation into the conduct
- 28:11Speaker 13: of the charity. This is after this war of words
- 28:14Speaker 13: has broken out over Center Ballet which Prince Harry set
- 28:17Speaker 13: up around twenty years ago with Prince Seiso of Lusutu,
- 28:21Speaker 13: which was looking at health, particularly HIV and AIDS in
- 28:25Speaker 13: young people in South southern parts of Africa. And so
- 28:30Speaker 13: this resignation last week, fall out between the sort of
- 28:34Speaker 13: trustees Prince Harry and Prince Seyso and the chair of
- 28:38Speaker 13: the charity has been a bit of a war of
- 28:41Speaker 13: words in the media in the last week. But now
- 28:43Speaker 13: we're going to get an efficial investigation as to what's
- 28:45Speaker 13: been going on in this charity. Prince Harry, for his part,
- 28:48Speaker 13: says he welcomes this.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Have then people of the UK taken sides.
- 28:54Speaker 13: Well, it's a kind of there's a lot going on
- 28:56Speaker 13: this week, but it is another sort of you know,
- 28:58Speaker 13: Harry Meghan drama, which we're sort of well used to.
- 29:02Speaker 13: I think many people though do recognize that throughout it all,
- 29:05Speaker 13: Prince Harry has been very dedicated to his charity work,
- 29:08Speaker 13: particularly this charity which you know, he founded himself. It
- 29:12Speaker 13: was named, you know, to do with his mother and
- 29:15Speaker 13: forgetting memories of a parent, and so he's been dedicated
- 29:19Speaker 13: to it. He spent a lot of time in this
- 29:21Speaker 13: part of the world, across the African continent doing charity work.
- 29:24Speaker 13: So people just sort of not quite sure what's going on.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Okay, Vincent, I thank you so much. It is now
- 29:28Speaker 2: ten minutes to six. Dickens Well, Donald Trump promised global
- 29:33Speaker 2: tariffs and he did it. New Zealand exports are finally
- 29:40Speaker 2: in the firing line. We've been hit with a ten
- 29:41Speaker 2: percent tariff on all imports into the States and across
- 29:44Speaker 2: all industries. And the twenty percent that the US published
- 29:47Speaker 2: to calculate the tariff was calculated off trade deficit rather
- 29:52Speaker 2: than tariff, so that's what we're questioning. So look, we
- 29:54Speaker 2: are considered by some to be the lucky ones because
- 29:57Speaker 2: some countries have been hit between twenty to forty nine percent.
- 30:00Speaker 2: I'm joined now by the chief executive of the Meat
- 30:02Speaker 2: Industry Association, So MKAA be the good morning to you, sir.
- 30:07Speaker 5: Good morning.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry. Are we the lucky ones?
- 30:13Speaker 7: Oh?
- 30:13Speaker 5: Locke, I don't know that anyone is lucky in this context,
- 30:17Speaker 5: it is quite quite a shock, even though it's not
- 30:21Speaker 5: an unforeseen shop was for forecasted for quite some time,
- 30:26Speaker 5: but the fact that it has transpired is you know,
- 30:30Speaker 5: as quite disappointing, and I don't think anyone can count
- 30:33Speaker 5: themselves lucky because the impact of tariffs will have a
- 30:37Speaker 5: significant disruption and global trade.
- 30:40Speaker 2: What are you more worried about the actual tariffs on
- 30:42Speaker 2: New Zealand products or as you say, the overall effect
- 30:45Speaker 2: on the entire global trade system.
- 30:48Speaker 5: Oh, I think both of them are very much interconnected.
- 30:51Speaker 5: And you know, in our trade we are very globally connected,
- 30:56Speaker 5: with our experts going to over one hundred and ten
- 30:59Speaker 5: markets around the world. So when one market is in distress,
- 31:04Speaker 5: then that has flow on implications for other markets. And
- 31:08Speaker 5: in this case, the US is a key importer and
- 31:12Speaker 5: export of beef. Therefore, the US announcement is likely to
- 31:16Speaker 5: impack global beef markets anyway, with the number of other
- 31:21Speaker 5: countries looking to redirect their products.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Lexercilate the effect on you to the United States of America,
- 31:28Speaker 2: and they are tariffs that they will be putting on.
- 31:30Speaker 2: I mean, how big is our trade with America and
- 31:32Speaker 2: how will that bilateral trade be affected for US well.
- 31:38Speaker 5: The US currently is our number one beef export market.
- 31:42Speaker 5: It has billions of dollars worth of trade, and it
- 31:45Speaker 5: has increased over the recent times partly because there is
- 31:50Speaker 5: strong demand for a product in the United States and
- 31:53Speaker 5: also because their domestic production cannot necessarily meet their domestics
- 32:00Speaker 5: consumption demand. So it is going to impact on US.
- 32:04Speaker 5: We currently trade under small quota with a very small tariff,
- 32:10Speaker 5: and nuisance tariff is what we call it, just a
- 32:12Speaker 5: couple of sen tequilo. The ten percent is essentially imposing
- 32:18Speaker 5: over nine point three percent extra cost on our exports
- 32:22Speaker 5: and that is going to be significant.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Would you retaliate or not? Is it just not worth it?
- 32:28Speaker 5: Well, I think every action has an equal and opposite reaction,
- 32:32Speaker 5: I guess so. I'm not sure that retaliation is quite
- 32:36Speaker 5: the right approach. What we do need to do is
- 32:40Speaker 5: just work within the system as best as we can
- 32:44Speaker 5: and you know, argue the fact that we are a
- 32:46Speaker 5: good trader, good trading partner to the United States, our
- 32:50Speaker 5: product is complementary, and work the commercial angles to find
- 32:54Speaker 5: the best way to put our product.
- 32:56Speaker 2: In very good look. I wish you like going forward.
- 32:59Speaker 2: That is Cardapeaver who comes from the Meat Industry Association,
- 33:03Speaker 2: and that clunking and thumping and bumping is Mike Hosking,
- 33:05Speaker 2: who's here shortly the.
- 33:06Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
- 33:09Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your
- 33:13Speaker 1: Property Search Simple, News Talk zid Be.
- 33:16Speaker 2: You got a whole lot of Texas reminding me and
- 33:17Speaker 2: everybody that Trump is not the first person to impose
- 33:20Speaker 2: tariffs on countries. Other countries already had them before Donald
- 33:23Speaker 2: Trump did them. But you got to realize we in
- 33:25Speaker 2: New Zealand, we were the first to try and get
- 33:27Speaker 2: rid of tariffs because we had to deal with the
- 33:28Speaker 2: EU scenarios. So we're ahead of the game. And Mike
- 33:31Speaker 2: Hosking joins me, Now, yeah.
- 33:32Speaker 14: We'll talk about that this morning. The market's funnily enough,
- 33:34Speaker 14: we came we were positive by the end of the day.
- 33:36Speaker 14: New Zealand and Australia wasn't too bad. The Nickay got
- 33:38Speaker 14: whacked because of the cars in Japan. But in the
- 33:41Speaker 14: American market, funnily enough, I've been watching that all morning
- 33:44Speaker 14: and when I came in it was down fifteen hundred,
- 33:46Speaker 14: which is like a disaster. It's still a disaster. But
- 33:49Speaker 14: it's only eleven hundweights, so.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I think they're just waking up to the whole thing
- 33:52Speaker 2: and the impact of it. You've got phill Gough on
- 33:54Speaker 2: the show as well.
- 33:55Speaker 14: Yeah, well he's come back to the country and done
- 33:57Speaker 14: as I would have done it again routine, which is
- 33:59Speaker 14: not really what his job was, was it, I mean
- 34:01Speaker 14: at the end of the day. So he's on and
- 34:02Speaker 14: we'll talk about the IF one this weekend, talk about
- 34:04Speaker 14: the territor, this good stuff.
