0:44
Speaker 3: the next election in the United States? And the who
0:46
Speaker 3: done it? Of the Olympics that train attack on Friday?
0:50
Speaker 3: Why has nobody claimed responsibility? We'll look at that all
0:53
Speaker 3: in the next hour. It's seven after five the Agenda, Monday,

1:13
Speaker 2: So far, the first Redgate is approaching.
1:16
Speaker 5: They have to come upstream and she successfully negotiates that.
1:19
Speaker 2: A great start so far and.
1:21
Speaker 3: Great start unfortunately finished eighth. Australia's Jessica Fox placed first,
1:26
Speaker 3: winning the gold medal, and later this morning Lewis Clairbert
1:29
Speaker 3: will compete in the men's four hundred meter medley final
1:32
Speaker 3: that's from six thirty this morning. There affairs that a
1:36
Speaker 3: rock rocket attack rather in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights
1:40
Speaker 3: could spark in all out war in the region. Twelve
1:43
Speaker 3: children were killed in the strike, with Israel voaring Lebanese
1:46
Speaker 3: militant group Hezbela will pay the price for the attack,
1:50
Speaker 3: which Hesbela denies they are behind. The Israeli Defense Force
1:54
Speaker 3: say they will retaliate. We will act to restore full
1:59
Speaker 3: security now northern border for all of the citizens of
2:04
Speaker 3: the Seat of Israel. They've already struck a number of
2:06
Speaker 3: his Bullo targets and Lebanon, including a stockpile of weapons,
2:10
Speaker 3: and Benjamin Netanya, who has cut short his trip to
2:13
Speaker 3: Washington to deal with the situation. More than sixty thousand
2:16
Speaker 3: Kiwis have applied for Australian citizenship in the first year
2:20
Speaker 3: of a Visa Pathway. New Zealanders who hold a special
2:24
Speaker 3: category visa and have been living in Australia for more
2:26
Speaker 3: than four years can apply to become a citizen without
2:29
Speaker 3: needing a permanent visa. Since the pathway was introduced last July,
2:33
Speaker 3: more than twenty three thousand Kiwis have received Australian citizenship
2:37
Speaker 3: and another thirty thousand have passed the citizenship test. It
2:41
Speaker 3: is nine after five.
2:42
Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
2:45
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
2:49
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
2:51
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be.
2:52
Speaker 3: Great to have your company. We'll deal with Darling and
2:54
Speaker 3: Tana first. So the Greens had a meeting at the
2:57
Speaker 3: weekend and they decided to basically send a lead to
3:01
Speaker 3: Darling Tana to say we think we want to walker
3:04
Speaker 3: jump you. Is the gist of it, and this is
3:06
Speaker 3: the first step in the process. And then Darling Tanner
3:09
Speaker 3: has twenty one days to respond, and then they've called
3:13
Speaker 3: a special meeting for September where they'll vote on whether
3:16
Speaker 3: they should do it or not. I mean, what a
3:19
Speaker 3: mad process and we're all basically at the mercy of it.
3:22
Speaker 3: They can decide how long they want to take before
3:25
Speaker 3: they finally get the cahunits to Walker Jumper. And in
3:29
Speaker 3: the meantime, we're paying this what one hundred and seventy
3:32
Speaker 3: thousand dollars salary for her to sit there, and it's
3:35
Speaker 3: already what are we almost August? What has she done?
3:40
Speaker 3: What is she doing? Why are we paying her salary?
3:43
Speaker 3: I think it's madness that this is allowed to continue
3:46
Speaker 3: and will continue. I mean, by the time they actually
3:49
Speaker 3: get rid of her, if indeed that happens, it'll be Christmas,
3:53
Speaker 3: and that's a year and a bit of nothing. So anyway,
3:56
Speaker 3: Darling Tana also interesting about her her pronouns.
4:01
Speaker 6: My pronouns are they them?
4:04
Speaker 2: I never walk away?
4:06
Speaker 3: So she said they them? And I thought, because I
4:09
Speaker 3: like to get this right, if somebody has a they
4:11
Speaker 3: them pronoun, I like to do that. I mean, if
4:13
Speaker 3: it makes somebody happy, what do I care? But actually
4:17
Speaker 3: she's said she's clarified to our newsroom. I've checked on
4:20
Speaker 3: this this morning, because some people like stuff is saying
4:23
Speaker 3: they them, I think, and then others are saying she her,
4:27
Speaker 3: So it's very confusing. Anyway, Apparently she has clarified saying
4:31
Speaker 3: she doesn't mind how she's referred to in the media.
4:35
Speaker 3: She said, my pronouns are not necessarily about gender. This
4:41
Speaker 3: clarifies things very quickly. This is Donald Trump at the
4:44
Speaker 3: weekend talking to the Believer's Summit in Florida. It's a
4:49
Speaker 3: Christian gathering about this election and the next one.
4:52
Speaker 6: Listen, you won't have to do it anymore for more years.
4:55
Speaker 6: You know what, It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You
4:59
Speaker 6: won't have to vote.
4:59
Speaker 7: It him one of my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians.
5:02
Speaker 7: I'm a Christian. I love you.
5:04
Speaker 2: Get out.
5:05
Speaker 7: You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you
5:08
Speaker 7: don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixtional good.
5:10
Speaker 7: You're not gonna have to.
5:13
Speaker 3: Brilliant. I was thinking of the weekend actually do with
5:16
Speaker 3: the US elections. It's fun to listen to Trump sound like,
5:19
Speaker 3: you know, he's going off the deep end. But really,
5:22
Speaker 3: as Kiwi's we want Karmala Harris to win, don't we.
5:26
Speaker 3: You know, Trump's America first sort of ethos, the nationalist ethos,
5:32
Speaker 3: far more instability and unpredictable global events. You know, you
5:36
Speaker 3: think about Ukraine, and then you think about the trade
5:38
Speaker 3: tariffs and the trade wars, China and Mexico. I mean,
5:41
Speaker 3: none of this is good for a small trading nation
5:44
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the world like New Zealand, is
5:45
Speaker 3: it so? I would have thought that we would be
5:47
Speaker 3: wanting Karmala Harris to win, do we not? Twelve after
5:50
Speaker 3: five we're talking boot camps next.
5:55
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
5:59
Speaker 1: twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
6:03
Speaker 1: beds and a player store news talk z'd.
6:05
Speaker 3: Be fourteen after five? Can I identify Darling Tanner as
6:08
Speaker 3: a waste of space? Yes? I think I can. Right.
6:12
Speaker 3: It is the story that just isn't going away for
6:14
Speaker 3: the Greens. Former Green MP Darling Tarner still hasn't left
6:17
Speaker 3: his seat in Parliament despite no longer being a member
6:20
Speaker 3: of the Green Party. She's now an independent MP, and
6:23
Speaker 3: she has been asked again by her former party colleagues
6:26
Speaker 3: to resign. Chloe Swarbrook says the party's delegates will hold
6:30
Speaker 3: a vote in September, yes, all the way in September,
6:33
Speaker 3: on whether to invoke the waker jumping legislation and kick
6:36
Speaker 3: her out of Parliament. Joining me now is political commentator
6:39
Speaker 3: Bridget Morton. Bridget why is it fear on us that
6:44
Speaker 3: we are all at the mercy of what seems a
6:47
Speaker 3: very drawn out process from the Greens.
6:51
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think it is necessarily fear or the taxpayer.
6:54
Speaker 8: As you say, I don't think Darling Tarner is providing
6:57
Speaker 8: any value at the moment in her position. The problem
7:01
Speaker 8: for the Greens tho, particularly the Greens leadership, is that
7:04
Speaker 8: it's clear that the party is not necessarily with them,
7:08
Speaker 8: and so they can't actually make that decision unilaterally without
7:11
Speaker 8: quite a lot of consequence.
7:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now you're seeing there was reporting and stuff
7:16
Speaker 3: about the Greens Pacifica one of the three most three
7:21
Speaker 3: of the most senior Pacifica leaders and the Greens apparently
7:25
Speaker 3: resigning from the party in protest at the way that
7:28
Speaker 3: they've treated Darling Tana.
7:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:31
Speaker 8: And on top of they also the treatment of Elizabeth
7:34
Speaker 8: Kitty Kenny last year and some treatment they say following
7:37
Speaker 8: the passing of the Fesso Collins. So I think there's
7:40
Speaker 8: definitely a disconnect, but I think it goes further. There
7:42
Speaker 8: was also reports across most media about the fact that
7:46
Speaker 8: party members weren't clear in what they wanted to do,
7:49
Speaker 8: that there was still a lot of opposition to Woker
7:52
Speaker 8: jumping legislation in principle, do we.
7:55
Speaker 3: Need to change the Waker jumping legislation to me to
7:58
Speaker 3: make it easier on Artist to get rid of MPs.
8:03
Speaker 8: Well, I think you always want to maintain a balance
8:05
Speaker 8: that you don't want their belief a party leaders to
8:08
Speaker 8: completely and utterly, unilaterally have people kicked out of parliament.
8:13
Speaker 8: But of course the problem we have here is that
8:15
Speaker 8: there doesn't appear to be anyone who wants to keep
8:18
Speaker 8: Darling Tana in Parliament except for Tanna herself.
8:21
Speaker 3: Except Darling Tana at least she's not alone. She says
8:25
Speaker 3: that she doesn't walk alone, she's abay them, which is
8:29
Speaker 3: causing a lot of confusion for people. Bridget, thank you
8:32
Speaker 3: very much for your time. We appreciate it. Bridget Morton,
8:34
Speaker 3: the political commentator there on Darling Tana Bryan Bridge. Olympic
8:39
Speaker 3: security must be a night near this time round. They've
8:42
Speaker 3: apparently got about forty five thousand police officers on the
8:45
Speaker 3: beat trying to contain whatever might happen. And on Friday,
8:49
Speaker 3: those rail lines that were taken out by arsonists have
8:54
Speaker 3: been restored, so that is good news, but it affected
8:56
Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand travelers over three days. I mean that's
9:00
Speaker 3: almost a million people. That is a massive issue for them,
9:04
Speaker 3: and they still haven't found out who did it? Who
9:07
Speaker 3: done it? And your you know, so many options. Was it,
9:11
Speaker 3: you know, a pro Palestinian protest? Was it a pro
9:14
Speaker 3: Israeli protest? Was that the far right after those election results?
9:20
Speaker 3: You know? Was it some sort of Gehrty attack? Was
9:23
Speaker 3: it the Russians? I mean, where it's so many places
9:27
Speaker 3: you can point your finger, you wouldn't know where to start.
9:30
Speaker 3: Who do you reckon? Who done it? Nineteen nine two
9:34
Speaker 3: is the number to text let me know what your thoughts.
9:37
Speaker 3: I sort of have a suspicion that if it because
9:39
Speaker 3: it hasn't been claimed by anybody, then it must be Russia,
9:42
Speaker 3: because Russia is the only one who wouldn't want to
9:43
Speaker 3: take responsibility. Surely the rest of them would know. It's
9:47
Speaker 3: eighteen after five.
9:49
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
9:54
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
9:57
Speaker 1: a playing store.
9:58
Speaker 2: News Talk, z'd be good morning.
10:00
Speaker 3: It is twenty after five year on news Talk said
10:02
Speaker 3: be lots of text coming, and I mentioned that from
10:05
Speaker 3: a new Zealand perspective, we would prefer that actually Karmala
10:10
Speaker 3: Harris was in the White House over Donald Trump, simply
10:13
Speaker 3: because we're a small trading nation and you know, Trump
10:15
Speaker 3: is quite nationalists protectionists when it comes to trade and
10:20
Speaker 3: Tariff's morning, Ryan incorrect. I and many others want Trump
10:23
Speaker 3: to win. Harris as a traitor to the USA who
10:26
Speaker 3: will flood the country with illegals and stay in power
10:29
Speaker 3: at any cost. Ryan Harris is a repeat of Jacinda. No,
10:33
Speaker 3: thank you, No to Carmela. She's a puppet on a
10:36
Speaker 3: string and she just wants somebody else will be controlling
10:40
Speaker 3: those strings, not her. So there you go. Twenty one
10:43
Speaker 3: minutes after five.
10:44
Speaker 9: It sounds like you're received. You come up, it's there.
10:46
Speaker 3: I certainly have andrew all listeners with us for sport.
10:48
Speaker 3: Good morning greetings. How are we doing these forty nine
10:51
Speaker 3: er sailors in Massaim?
10:53
Speaker 6: Yeah?
10:53
Speaker 9: I must say, the probably the best of the performers
10:56
Speaker 9: of the New Zealand team overnight. I think winning a
10:59
Speaker 9: race their opening race setting standard picked up a third
11:03
Speaker 9: and then they've had an eighth as well. But you
11:05
Speaker 9: can drop your worst performance, so they can drop the
11:08
Speaker 9: eighth for now, depending on how they go with the
11:10
Speaker 9: rest of the regatta. So that's an excellent effort from
11:15
Speaker 9: McKenzie and McCarty, so well done to them. Not so
11:18
Speaker 9: good for the fort nine air effects. Joe la and
11:21
Speaker 9: Molly Meach last by comparison, so that's a bit of
11:25
Speaker 9: a contrast anyway.
11:27
Speaker 3: But what about early days Lewis Claibert. Is he going
11:29
Speaker 3: to do it this morning? Cheap as I hope?
11:32
Speaker 9: So it's been a long wait for a middle on
11:35
Speaker 9: a pool for New Zealand nineteen ninety six, deniar Loader.
11:39
Speaker 9: I was at university at the time. We watched it
11:40
Speaker 9: in the university hostel up the road at Iraq Hall
11:43
Speaker 9: and it was quite something. But it seems a long
11:46
Speaker 9: time ago, twenty eight years.
11:48
Speaker 6: Maybe he can.
11:49
Speaker 9: But he struggled to some degree in the heat, I
11:53
Speaker 9: did think. And he finished fourth and it's going to
11:56
Speaker 9: be a struggle to take out Leon Marshaun with that
11:58
Speaker 9: French crowd behind him. There's one medal, I would have thought, So, yeah,
12:02
Speaker 9: he's got a battle.
12:03
Speaker 2: On his hands.
12:04
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the new Michael Felts they're calling him, aren't they.
12:08
Speaker 9: Yeah, he and honestly he was really impressive. Yeah, yeah,
12:11
Speaker 9: terrific medley swimmer and just yeah, I just think you've
12:15
Speaker 9: almost Yeah, you just gain some meters or some sort
12:19
Speaker 9: of slipperiness when you get in the pool with that
12:21
Speaker 9: sort of crowd. Yeah, behind you.
12:23
Speaker 3: The water quality in the river sense, it's.
12:26
Speaker 9: Ongoing, right, I mean I think should they have moved
12:30
Speaker 9: this by now? I mean it's so depending on if
12:32
Speaker 9: they get rain, then they get problems. So they're kind
12:36
Speaker 9: of waiting on the weathers to see it. And it's
12:38
Speaker 9: disruptive for the triathletes and the marathon swimmers for that matter.
12:41
Speaker 9: So yeah, they couldn't They couldn't train today because of
12:44
Speaker 9: the rain and the efforet washes it through and it
12:47
Speaker 9: stirs it all up, et cetera. So one day the
12:50
Speaker 9: quality's okay, next it's not. It just seems they had
12:54
Speaker 9: a lot. Yeah, it's not a particularly good element to
12:57
Speaker 9: the Games. I mean, I mean there's been some great
12:59
Speaker 9: element so far, but that's that's a bit of.
13:01
Speaker 3: A sound across. Yeah, the medal talley Australia, we don't
13:07
Speaker 3: feature too prominently on that, baking up the numbers at
13:13
Speaker 3: the moment, but Australia it's not all about the medals, right, Well,
13:16
Speaker 3: it is Australia's out in front at the moment. Apparently
13:19
Speaker 3: they are. They've had some six medals for all reckoning. Yeah,
13:22
Speaker 3: four golds, two silvers. I've got South Korea in there, China,
13:25
Speaker 3: Japan up there, the US up there too.
13:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, where are we the usual suspects? Yeah, maybe maybe
13:33
Speaker 9: it's maybe it's gonna be a little clear of it,
13:35
Speaker 9: I hope, so fingers crossed, So yeah, it will be awesome.
13:38
Speaker 3: So any medal, whether it's bronze, it would be our
13:40
Speaker 3: first swimming medal since nineteen ninety six.
13:43
Speaker 2: That's right.
13:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're a country surrounded by water. Shouldn't we be
13:47
Speaker 3: good at swimming?
13:47
Speaker 9: Well, that's what the sailors are doing.
13:49
Speaker 2: Well.
13:49
Speaker 3: True anyway, true, all right, Andrew Ortison was spot Thanks
13:51
Speaker 3: so much for your time. Twenty four after five. You're
13:54
Speaker 3: on news Talk, said.
13:54
Speaker 1: B, separating the fact from the fiction spilly edition with
14:01
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Appliant Store News Talk.
14:05
Speaker 3: Sab twenty six after five News Talk, said B. Is
14:08
Speaker 3: it just me or does it feel like democracy is
14:10
Speaker 3: somewhat under threat or at risk? Just reading the international
14:16
Speaker 3: news headlines day in day out, it feels precarious. Trump
14:22
Speaker 3: over the weekend, if you missed it, is saying that,
14:25
Speaker 3: and he's probably joking. You know, you didn't never really
14:28
Speaker 3: tell with Donald Trump, but suggesting that he might fix
14:31
Speaker 3: the next election.
14:32
Speaker 6: Listen, you won't have to do it anymore four more years,
14:36
Speaker 6: you know what, It'll be fixed.
14:37
Speaker 7: It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore. Of
14:40
Speaker 7: my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I'm a Christian.
14:44
Speaker 7: I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote.
14:47
Speaker 7: In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll
14:49
Speaker 7: have it fixed. Shell good. You're not gonna have to vote.
14:51
Speaker 3: So there's Trump, and then you've got a barely functioning
14:55
Speaker 3: Joe Biden and the White House. Are these the shining
14:59
Speaker 3: beacons of demmocracy we can hold up as our post
15:01
Speaker 3: to kids. I don't think so. And then there's if
15:05
Speaker 3: you look apart from the Olympics in France, the election
15:08
Speaker 3: result there has left them basically in limbo. I mean,
15:11
Speaker 3: who is actually running the government? You know, the Olympics
15:15
Speaker 3: is kind of the spectacle, that's a side show, but
15:18
Speaker 3: really who's running the place. And there's such an extreme
15:21
Speaker 3: spectrum from that vote that they had you've had Hungary's
15:25
Speaker 3: Victor Aorbarne at the weekend talking about nationalism. You know
15:28
Speaker 3: his Pertian's mate. He says, there's a shift in global
15:31
Speaker 3: power underway. In a few decades or centuries. He reckons,
15:35
Speaker 3: Asia will be the center of the world. The future
15:37
Speaker 3: big powers China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia. The West has pushed
15:41
Speaker 3: Russia towards this block of countries, he reckons. The International
15:45
Speaker 3: Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistants says half of the
15:50
Speaker 3: world's countries are suffering democratic decline. They say things like
15:55
Speaker 3: flawed elections and curtailed rights of freedom and assembly and speed,
16:00
Speaker 3: which are reducing the power of democracy across the world.
16:06
Speaker 3: And this is six consecutive years of declines, they say.
16:10
Speaker 3: So I don't really know what the conclusion of all
16:12
Speaker 3: that is, other than I suppose just keep watching the
16:16
Speaker 3: Olympics and forget about it.
16:17
Speaker 2: Rain Bridge twenty.
16:18
Speaker 3: Eight minutes after five, speaking of the rowers are doing
16:22
Speaker 3: really well, looking really good. The men's for the women's
16:25
Speaker 3: four both straight to the final. That'll be Thursday night
16:28
Speaker 3: our time, So that'd be a good night to watch.
16:30
Speaker 3: If you've got Sky or you're listening on Gold sport,
16:34
Speaker 3: which of course you should be. Emma Twig looking great,
16:37
Speaker 3: Tom Macintosh, the single scollar's looking great and the men's
16:41
Speaker 3: double scullers have made it to the semis as well,
16:43
Speaker 3: so that is very exciting for our rowers. Hopefully a
16:47
Speaker 3: chance at getting us on that medal table, which would
16:50
Speaker 3: be lovely, wouldn't it. Ninety two is the number to text.
16:54
Speaker 3: We've got lots of your feedback coming in on Karmala Harris.
16:57

17:06
Speaker 3: Palmerston North. Labor says there are shambles, we shouldn't be
17:10
Speaker 3: doing it, but we'll look at their record while in
17:13
Speaker 3: government too. News is next, Take my.
17:21
Speaker 2: Heart, don't backing, Love me too, My.
17:28

17:57
Speaker 10: way and I'm not sure you're lasted.
18:02
Speaker 3: Thirty four away from six here on news talk to V.
18:05
Speaker 3: I'm Rhyan Bridge. Good to have your company this morning.
18:08
Speaker 3: Why do we keep taking out these drug kingpins and
18:11
Speaker 3: hoping that the war on drugs will finally end? It
18:16
Speaker 3: just makes things more violent, history tells us. But in
18:18
Speaker 3: any case, the Americans have arrested al Mayo, who ran
18:22
Speaker 3: the Cineloa cartel with al Chapo. Now al Mayo has
18:27
Speaker 3: been taken to a federal court in al Paso. So
18:31
Speaker 3: you have al Mayo, al Chapo and al Paso. Anyway,
18:37
Speaker 3: Almeo was arrested after apparently al Chapo's son lured him
18:41
Speaker 3: onto a plane and said, Oh, we're going to go
18:44
Speaker 3: check out some airstrips that we can land our drug
18:47
Speaker 3: planes on. Come on, come on, get on, and then
18:49
Speaker 3: he gets on and then they go and land in
18:50
Speaker 3: al Paso. So, yeah, Almeo, al Chapo both in custody
18:55
Speaker 3: and the States one in al Paso. The thing is,
18:59
Speaker 3: and there is a sad part to this story, obviously,
19:01
Speaker 3: and that is the impact that these drugs are having
19:03
Speaker 3: in the United States. Some frightening numbers when you read
19:08
Speaker 3: these stories Ventanyl deaths, and this is why they keep
19:12
Speaker 3: going after these guys eighteen to forty five year olds.
19:16
Speaker 3: Ventanyl is the leading cause of death in America eighteen
19:20
Speaker 3: to forty five year olds. More people die from overdoses
19:25
Speaker 3: in America than firearms incidents and car crashes combined. It's
19:30
Speaker 3: more than one hundred thousand people a year, the majority
19:34
Speaker 3: of those ventanyl twenty two away.
19:36
Speaker 2: From six Brian Bridge.
19:38
Speaker 3: We're going to deneed In this morning. Calum Proctor is
19:41
Speaker 3: with us. Callum a bit worried about that hospital. The
19:45
Speaker 3: construction's underway, but will it all be finished?
19:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, morning, Ryan will certainly. There's more concerns here after
19:52
Speaker 4: reports that the new Health and Z Commissioner Less the
19:55
Speaker 4: Levy says you'll consider downscaling the you toned In hospital
20:00
Speaker 4: build if required, and so in response, there's been some
20:03
Speaker 4: fighting words from our mayor Jills Raddick. He says he
20:06
Speaker 4: expects the Health Minister to keep his promises and build
20:09
Speaker 4: the current design, adding downsizing would be a false economy.
20:13
Speaker 4: He says if they do downscale, they can be sure
20:15
Speaker 4: of an absolute uproar and outrage from people all over
20:19
Speaker 4: the Otaga region, especially Dunedin. Raddick says they don't want
20:22
Speaker 4: to protest on this issue again, but the possibility always exists.
20:26
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you've just got to go with it now,
20:28
Speaker 3: don't you. How's your weather today? Come? Not good?
20:31
Speaker 4: Heavy rain and heavy snow warnings for us daneed and

Speaker 3: Thank you Blake Benny's in christ Church and a city
20:40
Speaker 3: councilor in a spot of bother blake. Yes. They say.
20:44
Speaker 10: The city has been put in a difficult position following
20:46
Speaker 10: the government's forestry regulation decision, so it said no for
20:50
Speaker 10: now to a bid from local Canterbury councils to prevent
20:53
Speaker 10: plan and replanting on the porthills following this year's six
20:57
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty he dear Blades. Heath Get Counselor Climate
21:00
Speaker 10: Change Portfolio leads Sarah Templeton says plantations are getting even
21:04
Speaker 10: riskier with hotter, drier summers and increased winds. She says
21:08
Speaker 10: the decision is really disappointing and short sighted, adding the
21:12
Speaker 10: ability for counsel to deal with this increased risk is
21:15
Speaker 10: really important. Templeton says they'll have to use other tools
21:18
Speaker 10: such as working with communities and fens, but Hope's counsel
21:22
Speaker 10: will continue pushing for this change.
21:24
Speaker 3: Blake has your weather today.
21:25
Speaker 10: It's going to be a cloudy one with a bit
21:27
Speaker 10: of light rain both before dawn and this evening a

21:42
Speaker 11: go street racing in my two thousand honder record.

Speaker 3: That's right.
21:46
Speaker 11: Police cracking down on illegal cars burnout street racing across

21:58
Speaker 11: say these people try to take over a number of
22:00
Speaker 11: intersections and roads at night. Police had to move around
22:03
Speaker 11: quite a bit stopping cars, putting in checkpoints. They do
22:06
Speaker 11: reckon They frustrated this group which had to end it's
22:10
Speaker 11: a so called fun quite early in the night. This
22:13
Speaker 11: has been a problem in particularly parts of up Hut
22:15
Speaker 11: for some time. Out near Trentham, locals are frustrated. This
22:18
Speaker 11: keeps them up at night. Hopefully these sorts of thorns
22:22
Speaker 11: in their side.

Speaker 11: Yes?
22:36
Speaker 12: I did, well, you know I did. I'm feeling I was.
22:40
Speaker 12: I said to a friend, this is about two weeks ago.
22:42
Speaker 12: Friend of mine said, hey, let's go walking, you know,
22:45
Speaker 12: five thirty six am on a Saturday morning. Two weeks ago.
22:48
Speaker 12: I said, yeah, yeah, I'm in for it, thinking that
22:50
Speaker 12: he would have forgotten about it, but he remembered, and
22:52
Speaker 12: so there we were climbing up Mount Eden. I'm sore today.
22:56
Speaker 3: It would have been dark at that.
22:57
Speaker 12: It was because I would never go by myself.
22:59
Speaker 3: He goes, no, you're fine.
23:00
Speaker 12: I said, there are criminals out there.
23:01
Speaker 3: He said, no, don't worry, nev No, don't go out
23:03
Speaker 3: on your own Neva. No, it's not a safe city.
23:06
Speaker 3: It's not.
23:06
Speaker 12: No one would dare to come up to me, would they.
23:09
Speaker 3: But the economy is bounced back after COVID.
23:11
Speaker 12: Yes, the economy, so this is good news. So this
23:14
Speaker 12: new report is out Tatucky Auckland Unlimited's Economic monitor tracking
23:19
Speaker 12: the region's five year This is the macro economic performance
23:22
Speaker 12: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three. So this is
23:25
Speaker 12: found that the economy grew ten percent, matching the national average.
23:30
Speaker 12: That's got to be great despite having a longer, more
23:34
Speaker 12: frequent lockdowns you know here in Auckland compared to the
23:36
Speaker 12: rest of the country during the pandemic. The head of
23:39
Speaker 12: Economic Transformation this is John Lavery. He says that our city,
23:43
Speaker 12: the entrepreneurial spirit, played a big part in this. So
23:46
Speaker 12: what is that while the registered business is two hundred
23:49
Speaker 12: and twenty five than twenty twenty three, So that's twenty
23:53
Speaker 12: four thousand more in twenty nineteen. I mean that's got
23:56
Speaker 12: to be So.
23:57
Speaker 3: We're growing here. I think the thing is now. I
23:59
Speaker 3: mean it's going to walk down Main Street exactly. I
24:01
Speaker 3: mean not caput, hasn't it?
24:03
Speaker 2: No?

24:20
Speaker 3: have suggested that here she is, come on see. French

24:56

25:05
Speaker 3: of living. How much will I need? Have I got enough?
25:07
Speaker 3: How long will it last? These can be pretty confronting
25:10
Speaker 3: questions for people, but you're not alone. There are on
25:13
Speaker 3: most people's minds as retirement approaches. And while it's difficult
25:17

25:52
Speaker 3: Kevin Gray as a UK and Europe correspondent. He's with
25:54
Speaker 3: US Live this morning. Good morning, Gavin. Has anyone claimed
25:58
Speaker 3: responsibility yet for this in France?
26:02
Speaker 13: No, not yet, and it has of course been something
26:05
Speaker 13: that has rocked the early part of the Olympics. It
26:09
Speaker 13: took place on Friday local time, just before the opening
26:13
Speaker 13: ceremony of the Olympics. Things are getting back to normal slowly.
26:17
Speaker 13: They hope to run a full service on Monday tomorrow
26:20
Speaker 13: at our time, but at the moment one in four
26:23
Speaker 13: Eurostar trains they're the international services between London and Paris
26:28
Speaker 13: using a high speed line in Paris, just one in
26:31
Speaker 13: four of its trains that will not run, so cancelations down,
26:35
Speaker 13: but still really quite considerable, bearing in mind most of
26:38
Speaker 13: the trains are absolutely solidly booked up, so that's still
26:42
Speaker 13: a problem. And the rail company said the main Western
26:46
Speaker 13: line from Paris was operating, was normal, but three out
26:50
Speaker 13: of four TGV trains those are the more high speed
26:52
Speaker 13: trains were running on the Northern line for mill with
26:55
Speaker 13: no delays expected. But still you know, that's only three
26:59
Speaker 13: out of four. So rail workers did manage to foil
27:02
Speaker 13: one attempt to destroy safety equipment on a fourth line,
27:05
Speaker 13: but three of those high speed lines out of the
27:08
Speaker 13: capital absolutely paralyzed. They should be all back to normal,
27:12
Speaker 13: but not the start of the Olympics. They wanted. Nobody's
27:15
Speaker 13: thee at claim responsibility. Plenty of people pointing the finger
27:18
Speaker 13: at Russian saboteurs.
27:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you would think anyone else would climb responsibility.
27:24
Speaker 3: Russia is the only one with an interest in not
27:26
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Yeah, Hey, are you being
27:29
Speaker 3: softened up for a text and crisis in the Yuka?
27:32
Speaker 3: Do yourickon?
27:33
Speaker 13: I think we might be let me know in twenty
27:35
Speaker 13: four hours. I'll come back to you, because we are
27:37
Speaker 13: due to hear from our chancellor, the first female chancellor
27:40
Speaker 13: in history, Rachel Reeves. She of course part of the
27:43
Speaker 13: new government here in the UK that started on the
27:46
Speaker 13: fourth of July. Now, already they've been saying, oh, well,
27:49
Speaker 13: we were left a much worse situation than we thought.
27:53
Speaker 13: Things are not as good as we thought economically, and
27:58
Speaker 13: they had always in the pre election campaigning said that
28:01
Speaker 13: they would effectively continue on the same economic spending and
28:05
Speaker 13: taxing as the preceding government. However, if this report out
28:11
Speaker 13: tomorrow from the Chancellor reveals what we hear, which is
28:15
Speaker 13: a massive black hole in the economy, then I think
28:17
Speaker 13: we are going to see tax rises pretty quickly. It
28:21
Speaker 13: is rumored by some that the black hole in the
28:23
Speaker 13: economy could be as much as over forty five billion
28:28
Speaker 13: New Zealand dollars a year, and of course yes they
28:32
Speaker 13: can cut back on spending, but then they might be
28:34
Speaker 13: looking at generally Conhaps another one could be inheritance tax.
28:38
Speaker 13: What you inherit when somebody dies and leaves you their money,
28:42
Speaker 13: and possibly also capital gains, so that is the selling
28:45
Speaker 13: of an asset and a tax on the growth. Yeah,
28:49
Speaker 13: it could be bad news, could.
28:50
Speaker 3: Be bad news, could be one of those, or it
28:52
Speaker 3: could be all of those. Given, thanks so much for
28:54
Speaker 3: your time and good luck. In Away from six ran Bridge,
28:58
Speaker 3: Tambody's boot Camp pilot program for serious young offenders starts today.
29:04
Speaker 3: The twelvemonth military style program will see one to one
29:06
Speaker 3: mentoring for each teenager with a focus on routine physical
29:11
Speaker 3: activity and education. Willow jene Prime is Labour's Children's spokesperson
29:16
Speaker 3: and joins me, now, thank you for being with me
29:18
Speaker 3: this morning. First of all, this sounds like quite a
29:21
Speaker 3: good thing, particularly for those serious repeat young offenders.
29:26
Speaker 14: No, no, it doesn't sound like a good thing, Ryan,
29:31
Speaker 14: and that is because what we have here is the
29:33
Speaker 14: government running a pilot. Essentially, the pilot pilot is an experiment,
29:40
Speaker 14: and that is despite evidence, experts and people with experience
29:45
Speaker 14: all saying that military style academies or boot camps do
29:49
Speaker 14: not work for these young people.
29:51
Speaker 3: Karen Shaw says they have learned from past boot camps.
29:54
Speaker 3: The focus this time will be more on rehabilitation and
29:58
Speaker 3: re entering the community.
30:02
Speaker 14: They say that they have learned, yet they are ignoring evidence,
30:06
Speaker 14: experts and people with experience who say that the scared
30:10
Speaker 14: straight and boot camp style programs do not work. And
30:13
Speaker 14: that was the most recent report on them by Sir
30:16
Speaker 14: Peter Gluckman in twenty and eighteen. And this just last
30:21
Speaker 14: week we had the Royal Commission report on Abuse in
30:24
Speaker 14: staycare and it includes an entire chapter on boot camp
30:28
Speaker 14: and in there many of the same issues are raised
30:33
Speaker 14: in that report, and they continue to ignore that and
30:36
Speaker 14: insist on their tough on crime, punitive rhetoric and approaches
30:40
Speaker 14: to dealing with these young people.
30:42
Speaker 3: Can you see why they might be wanting to try
30:45
Speaker 3: new innovative things like pilots, given that, according to the
30:49
Speaker 3: Ministry of Justice, there was a twenty six percent increase
30:52
Speaker 3: in fourteen to sixteen year olds indergoing serious and persistent offending.
31:01
Speaker 14: The issue that we have here is that when the
31:03
Speaker 14: government came in, they were givent a briefing which showed
31:06
Speaker 14: that the Circuit Brecket program was having a seventy six
31:09
Speaker 14: percent success rate. They have decided to cancel the Enhanced
31:13
Speaker 14: Fast Track program instead in favor of their boot camp pilot,
31:18
Speaker 14: where there is ample evidence, decades of evidence, recent evidence
31:22
Speaker 14: from nineteen eighty nine to two thousand and four that
31:26
Speaker 14: boot camps do not work. Yet they insist on experimenting
31:30
Speaker 14: once again with young people instead of acknowledging and supporting
31:35
Speaker 14: those programs that do and can work.
31:38
Speaker 3: How would you rate Labour's performance in supporting young people
31:42
Speaker 3: who might be at risk of offending Given that four
31:45
Speaker 3: thousand children were living in motels and there was a
31:48
Speaker 3: two percent increase in material hardship child poverty figures under
31:52
Speaker 3: your watch.
31:54
Speaker 14: These are extremely difficult challenges that we all have and
32:00
Speaker 14: that we have to face as a society. That is
32:02
Speaker 14: what came out of the Royal Commission's report. Labor invested
32:05
Speaker 14: significantly in the Circuit Breaker program, which evidence shows was
32:09
Speaker 14: having a seventy six percent success rate in working with
32:14
Speaker 14: our young serious offenders. We invested further into the Enhanced FasTrak.
32:20
Speaker 14: I was so disappointed when this government canceled that program
32:25
Speaker 14: in favor of failed experiments of the past, the boot Camp.
32:28
Speaker 3: Well o, Jen Prime, Labour's Children's spokesperson, thanks so much
32:32
Speaker 3: for your time. It is seven away from six.
32:36
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition
32:40
Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
32:44
Speaker 2: News Talk zib it is.
32:45
Speaker 3: Five to six news Talk, said be Mike Hoskins in
32:48
Speaker 3: the studio. I was looking at the metal tally because
32:51
Speaker 3: I know you like keeping a score, Mike, and you
32:53
Speaker 3: know we haven't won any medals.
32:55
Speaker 5: We've won no medals and Australia's doing well though they
32:57
Speaker 5: are doing very well. But the swimming's on and so
33:00
Speaker 5: they will do well in swimming, so they will front
33:02
Speaker 5: load their table and depending on how good they are
33:05
Speaker 5: in other sports. Speaking sports, I've got to get this
33:07
Speaker 5: off my chest. If one this morning, Inspa George Russell won.
33:13
Speaker 5: He drove the race of his life. It was the
33:16
Speaker 5: most enthralling thing you've ever seen. He called a one
33:19
Speaker 5: stop strategy on hard tires. He said, don't pit me.
33:22
Speaker 5: I'm going to go all the way. So his tires
33:25
Speaker 5: are degrading. He's getting closer and closer to the finish line.
33:29
Speaker 5: Lewis Hamilton's up his tailpipe, catching him because he's got
33:32
Speaker 5: newer wheels, and Piastre's coming in third. It's between first
33:36
Speaker 5: and thirds but less than a second. It was the
33:37
Speaker 5: most exciting thing. At the end of the race. Russell's
33:40
Speaker 5: being disqualified, Oh no, because they Mercedes blew it. The
33:45
Speaker 5: car come in and came in underweight, and so.
33:48
Speaker 3: It's the car drama.
33:51
Speaker 5: You weigh the car, the car came in underweight. So
33:53
Speaker 5: he goes to the summer break, distraught, high drama.
33:58
Speaker 3: All right, Well, so we'll hear nothing about the olymp
34:00
Speaker 3: it's from Mike, but everything about the F one. He's
34:02
