0:05
Speaker 1: early edition with one roof love where you live, news talks.
0:09
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning and a six half to five.
0:11
Speaker 2: Great to have your company. As always, new subjects for
0:13
Speaker 2: the kids in school. We'll look at that before six
0:15
Speaker 2: this morning. We're live to the US. They've got photos
0:18
Speaker 2: of a young guy they reckon killed Charlie Kirk, Elliott
0:20
Speaker 2: Smith on the ABS this weekend, and we're in the
0:22
Speaker 2: UK where the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein claims another scalp.
0:28
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:28
Speaker 2: It is Friday the twelfth and September first. To the US,
0:31
Speaker 2: the FBI has been holding a presser on Charlie Kirk.
0:33
Speaker 3: We were able to track the movements of the shooter.
0:36
Speaker 4: We have tracked his movements onto the campus, through the stairwells,
0:41
Speaker 4: up to the roof, across the roof to a shooting location.
0:44
Speaker 4: After the shooting, we were able to track his movements
0:46
Speaker 4: as he moved to the other side of the building,
0:48
Speaker 4: jumped off of the building, and fled.
0:52
Speaker 2: They've got a palm print, they've got a forearm print,
0:54
Speaker 2: they've got a shoe print. Apparently so tracking the net
0:57
Speaker 2: is closing in on him. Trump posthumous. I mean they
1:00
Speaker 2: are mates, awarding him the Presidential Middle of Freedom.
1:03
Speaker 5: This is a dark moment for America.
1:07
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk traveled.
1:08
Speaker 5: The nation joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate.
1:15
Speaker 5: His mission was to bring young people into the political process,
1:19
Speaker 5: which he did better than anybody ever.
1:23
Speaker 2: Now you might have missed this because of everything else
1:25
Speaker 2: that's been going on in the world, But commemorations underway
1:27
Speaker 2: across the US for the twenty fourth anniversary of nine
1:30
Speaker 2: to eleven. Pete Higgsyth's been speaking at Arlington.
1:32
Speaker 3: On this day twenty four years ago. We suffered. In
1:37
Speaker 3: the years since we have endured. Our service and sacrifice
1:41
Speaker 3: have forged our character, and today we stand in hope
1:45
Speaker 3: for the future of our great nation.
1:48
Speaker 2: Epstein strikes again and the UK starm has had to
1:50
Speaker 2: sack Peter Mandelssohn as the ambassadors to the US. The
1:53
Speaker 2: emails showing he called Jeffrey his best pale.
1:57
Speaker 6: The emails show is to speak that the depth and
2:00
Speaker 6: extent of Lord Mallison's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially
2:05
Speaker 6: different from that known at the time of his appointments.
2:09
Speaker 6: In particular, mister speaker Lord Bullison's suggestion that Jeffrey Apstein's
2:14
Speaker 6: first conviction was wrongful and should be challenged is new information.
2:19
Speaker 2: Yes, said he should never have been charged. We'll get
2:21
Speaker 2: to Vincent mcavinie on that before quarter two this morning.
2:24
Speaker 2: And Ari and Charles have had the first tea sit
2:27
Speaker 2: down since February last year together lasted fifteen minutes. No
2:31
Speaker 2: comment from either parties on what they actually talked about.
2:34
Speaker 2: Whether it was all comee by our and you know
2:38
Speaker 2: the family back together again for Christmas, No idea, but
2:40
Speaker 2: at least they're talking nine up to five.
2:43
Speaker 1: Views and views you trust. To start your day, It's
2:46
Speaker 1: early edition with Brian Bridge and one roof Love, where
2:51
Speaker 1: you Live News Talks.
2:52
Speaker 2: The'd be nine two nine two the numbers to text
2:54
Speaker 2: love hearing from you old mate. Stuart Nash went a
2:56
Speaker 2: bit far with the with the rebrand, don't you Reckon
3:00
Speaker 2: made a bit of a tit of himself personally. I
3:02
Speaker 2: don't actually have a problem with the word all the
3:04
Speaker 2: tea word. You know, that's just a preference thing. But
3:08
Speaker 2: and also watching the news last night, I laughed, you know,
3:11
Speaker 2: it's funny. I just find a little bit funny. Maybe
3:14
Speaker 2: I'm immature. I probably am a little bit immature, but
3:16
Speaker 2: I reckon half of Kiwi households watching that would have
3:19
Speaker 2: also been giggling when they had to say those words. However,
3:22
Speaker 2: the problem for Nash is that Winston's old school. He
3:25
Speaker 2: finds this stuff crass. He's got a vocabulary the length
3:28
Speaker 2: of my arm, and he prefers to use that over
3:31
Speaker 2: cuss words. Did you catch when you know when Van
3:35
Speaker 2: Velden in the house used the sea word? His genuine
3:38
Speaker 2: visceral disgust at using words like that, No thank you
3:44
Speaker 2: from Winston Peters. But there's a good reason why Nash
3:48
Speaker 2: is doing this. He's doing this because labor and hipkins, well,
3:52
Speaker 2: the left, let's just say, the left so wrapped up
3:55
Speaker 2: in university gobbledygoog woke speak that you actually can't understand
4:00
Speaker 2: what they're saying. Sometimes, have you actually tried to listen.
4:04
Speaker 2: It happens with Chloe Swarbroog. I've told her this, I've said,
4:07
Speaker 2: I don't understand what you're saying. Why can't people just
4:10
Speaker 2: talk normal anymore? You know? Why can't you just say
4:13
Speaker 2: society is getting fat because reading too much junk fruit?
4:15
Speaker 2: Why can't you say that Is that really that offensive?
4:18
Speaker 2: Why can't you say a woman as a female doesn't
4:21
Speaker 2: mean you don't support trans people from being who they
4:24
Speaker 2: want to be. I certainly do you know? Why can't
4:27
Speaker 2: you say pregnant woman, not pregnant person. Allowing somebody else
4:32
Speaker 2: to be who they want to be doesn't mean that
4:36
Speaker 2: you have to stop being who you are, you know
4:38
Speaker 2: what I mean? Anyway, back to Nash, like any public
4:41
Speaker 2: figure who wants longevity, you've got to master the art
4:44
Speaker 2: of transformation, don't you. And that's what he's trying to
4:47
Speaker 2: do here. Madonna did it over the years. Look at
4:50
Speaker 2: early two thousands share versus back in the eighties. All right,
4:53
Speaker 2: Winston has done it. The ultimate chameleon, switching camps, changes
4:57
Speaker 2: his mind on stuff, same values, but different age means
5:01
Speaker 2: a different slogan. So Nash may have strayed a little
5:05
Speaker 2: bit too far south in these comments in the last
5:07
Speaker 2: few days and lost his job in the process, But
5:10
Speaker 2: New Zealand First supporters actually won't care when he is
5:13
Speaker 2: eventually anointed by Winston Peters. The congregation will follow Brian
5:19
Speaker 2: Bridge News Talk's edb nineteen nineteen. The number sex It's
5:22
Speaker 2: gone eleven minutes after five. Some of the NCAA subjects
5:25
Speaker 2: are fascinating, well, actually it's quite good. Sciences. You'll get
5:29
Speaker 2: primary industries if you're in year thirteen. Some of the
5:33
Speaker 2: ones that you might question sociology in social sciences, civics,
5:38
Speaker 2: politics and philosophy. How do we feel about that? We'll
5:41
Speaker 2: talk to principle just before six on all of this.
5:45
Speaker 2: Next up, though, we are live to the US for
5:46
Speaker 2: the latest on Charlie Kirk. It is twelve after five,
5:49
Speaker 2: News Talk SEDB.
5:50
Speaker 1: Views and Views you trust to start your day. It's
5:54
Speaker 1: earlier this ship with Brian Bridge and one Route Love
5:58
Speaker 1: where you live, News Talks EDB.
6:00
Speaker 2: So's I've fourteen and some good news for your Friday morning.
6:02
Speaker 2: Something to celebrate this after Jetstar announced an extra six
6:05
Speaker 2: hundred thousand flights across the country and the Tasman in
6:08
Speaker 2: the last week. You know in New Zealand sort of
6:10
Speaker 2: limping along, but other airlines are coming in to fill
6:13
Speaker 2: the void, and international services planned for this northern winter
6:18
Speaker 2: season are going to exceed the twenty twenty nine, sorry
6:23
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen number by three and a half percent, so
6:26
Speaker 2: we will have three and a half percent more international
6:28
Speaker 2: flights in and out of New Zealand than we did
6:31
Speaker 2: pre COVID and big focus on when do we get
6:34
Speaker 2: our tourism numbers back to pre COVID. Well, this will
6:36
Speaker 2: help with that people coming here for summer. It's great news.
6:39
Speaker 2: In the South Island you're leading the charge. Christ Church
6:42
Speaker 2: Airport northern winter you're up fourteen point seven percent on
6:46
Speaker 2: last year. Queenstown Airport, jeez, you've been smashing at Queenstown Airport.
6:51
Speaker 2: International services for northern winter twenty five are going to
6:55
Speaker 2: be thirty seven point two percent of Northern winter twenty nineteen.
7:00
Speaker 2: It's massive. Auckland Airport you're going to be up six
7:03
Speaker 2: point four percent. Ram Bridge just go to the US
7:07
Speaker 2: now where a Manhart's still underway for the keller of
7:10
Speaker 2: the conservative activist Charlie Kirk. David Smith is the Washington
7:13
Speaker 2: bureau chief of the Guardian with US Live this morning. David,
7:16
Speaker 2: Good morning, David. We understand there's been an FBI press
7:23
Speaker 2: conference held in the last wee while. What are they saying.
7:28
Speaker 2: I think we're having some troubles getting to David. We'll
7:30
Speaker 2: get them back on the line as soon as we can.
7:33
Speaker 2: So good news about tourism. We'll come back to David
7:35
Speaker 2: in a second, good news about tourism, and according to builders,
7:38
Speaker 2: they reckon good news about the construction sector. Two contrary
7:42
Speaker 2: to what you have been told, apparently by the media.
7:45
Speaker 2: In fact, this is the Master Builders twenty twenty five
7:48
Speaker 2: State of the Sector report. They sort of finger the
7:50
Speaker 2: media and say, despite the media narrative over the past
7:54
Speaker 2: two years, their survey one thousand builders and homeowners, they reckon, actually,
7:59
Speaker 2: people are pretty had and work is picking up. So
8:02
Speaker 2: seventy two percent of homeowners reporting no significant delays with
8:05
Speaker 2: their builds. When there are delays, guess who's responsible. It's consents,
8:10
Speaker 2: it's councils. There's a bit of whether there's a bit
8:13
Speaker 2: of product availability, remember the whole jib thing. Anyway, the
8:16
Speaker 2: upside of all of this is that sixty three percent
8:19
Speaker 2: of builders think the economy is going to get better
8:21
Speaker 2: in the next year. That's good. Sixty four percent are
8:25
Speaker 2: reporting strong or steady order books. That's up from fifty
8:29
Speaker 2: one percent last year, so that's pretty significant. And Master
8:34
Speaker 2: Bilder is talking up a new phase or momentum coming
8:37
Speaker 2: for the construction sector, and boy don't they need that.
8:40
Speaker 2: Seventeen minutes after five, we'll get back to David Smith
8:42
Speaker 2: in the US on Charlie Kirk. David's the FBI has
8:47
Speaker 2: just held a press conference. What's the latest on this
8:49
Speaker 2: man hunt?
8:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, the FBI released images of this suspect. They
8:57
Speaker 7: say they've recovered a weapon, but otherwise the manhunt continues.
9:04
Speaker 7: There have been various rumors flying around about, you know,
9:06
Speaker 7: what's something engraved on its bullet that is certainly not
9:09
Speaker 7: confirmed so far, and we still don't know much about
9:13
Speaker 7: who this is, what the motive might be, but certainly,
9:18
Speaker 7: you know, as you can imagine, a tragedy that is
9:21
Speaker 7: dominating many headlines and much attention in America right now.
9:25
Speaker 2: David, what do they think was inscribed on the bullet?
9:30
Speaker 7: Well, there were some media reports suggesting that there were
9:34
Speaker 7: statements there about fascism and about transgender ideology and so on.
9:40
Speaker 7: I think some members of Congress on the Republican side
9:43
Speaker 7: have been quick to seize on that, but just to underline,
9:47
Speaker 7: that has not been officially confirmed. So yeah, it's very
9:52
Speaker 7: hard at this moment to discern the veracity of that,
9:56
Speaker 7: and I think worth recalling the in other major incidents
10:01
Speaker 7: such as this, like the attempts of assassination of Donald Trump.
10:04
Speaker 7: You get a social media pylon of people rushing to
10:08
Speaker 7: ascribe the motives. Once I try to blame the other,
10:11
Speaker 7: and then later we often discover maybe that was wrong
10:15
Speaker 7: or false, or maybe the motives who are quite complex,
10:19
Speaker 7: or I think in the case of the first Trump
10:21
Speaker 7: assassination attempt, we you know last year, we still don't
10:24
Speaker 7: really know what the motive was.
10:26
Speaker 2: David, appreciate that update. Thanks so much for being with me.
10:28
Speaker 2: David Smith, Washington bureau chief for The Guardian. The nets
10:31
Speaker 2: closing in, they've got a footwear impression, they've got a
10:33
Speaker 2: photo of the guy they think did it or a
10:36
Speaker 2: strong person of interest, and a forearm print as well.
10:39
Speaker 2: It is nineteen after five News Talks. He'd be Elliott
10:42
Speaker 2: Smith on the AB's next, The News.
10:45
Speaker 1: You Need this morning and the in depth Analysis Early
10:48
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love where you
10:52
Speaker 1: Live News Talks.
10:53
Speaker 2: They'd be twenty one after five, Big week in the
10:55
Speaker 2: sport here, we've got the AB's in the box at
10:57
Speaker 2: the Caketon, we've got the warriors in orc will start
11:01
Speaker 2: with the Abs. Elliot Smith, the News Talks, a big
11:03
Speaker 2: voice of rugby with us this morning. Elliot, good morning Morning, Ryan,
11:07
Speaker 2: your predictions this weekend?
11:09
Speaker 8: Look, I think both teams have made a few changes,
11:11
Speaker 8: but I think the All Blacks are given the consistency
11:15
Speaker 8: have put forward in there, their Type five should be
11:17
Speaker 8: good enough to win and that would return them the
11:20
Speaker 8: Freedom Cup which they lost to South Africa last year
11:23
Speaker 8: and a big step forward to winning the Rugby Championship.
11:26
Speaker 8: Haven't the best of records in Wellington in recent times
11:31
Speaker 8: against South Africa or at all, but I think the
11:33
Speaker 8: All Blacks should be good enough to win this weekend
11:36
Speaker 8: by a few points similar to last weekend.
11:39
Speaker 2: I reckon and is it a big call putting a
11:42
Speaker 2: deep bit onto a match of this caliber?
11:44
Speaker 9: Yeah?
11:45
Speaker 8: Well, I think usually the All Blacks are given them
11:47
Speaker 8: a sort of softly softly approach, bring them off the
11:49
Speaker 8: bench and get them used to test rugby. But Leroy
11:53
Speaker 8: Carter is a player that's been built for the big stage.
11:57
Speaker 8: He's played numerous World Sevens of in front of fans
12:01
Speaker 8: around the globe. He played the Paris Olympics last year,
12:03
Speaker 8: which didn't go overly well for the New Zealand seven side,
12:06
Speaker 8: but that was in front of seventy five thousand Parisians.
12:10
Speaker 8: So he's used to the big stage. He had a
12:12
Speaker 8: great Super Rugby season. So the All Blacks have backdmen
12:16
Speaker 8: to perform this weekend. So yeah, it's a bit of
12:19
Speaker 8: a surprise to an extent, but he's, as I said,
12:22
Speaker 8: used to playing on those big stages.
12:24
Speaker 2: Previously looking forward to Elliot Elliott Smith News Talks HEB
12:27
Speaker 2: Voice of Rugby with us and it is twenty two
12:29
Speaker 2: minutes after five. Ryan Joden Nick Bewley News Talks HEB
12:33
Speaker 2: Sports Journalists style on the Wars and the Panthers at
12:36
Speaker 2: Mount Smart this weekend, their first playoff of the season,
12:39
Speaker 2: home advantage. But Nick, they're kind of being written off
12:42
Speaker 2: by most, aren't they.
12:44
Speaker 9: Good morning to you, Ryan. I mean that's a position
12:47
Speaker 9: the Warrior is very comfortable and over the last thirty
12:49
Speaker 9: years being written off by everyone. But luckier it is
12:53
Speaker 9: fair to say going up against the team with the
12:55
Speaker 9: caliber of Penrist, the four time defending premiers, they know
12:59
Speaker 9: what it takes the point of the season, they're understandably favorites.
13:03
Speaker 9: But the Warriors that they've got history in this position,
13:07
Speaker 9: I know, probably have to go back a wee way,
13:09
Speaker 9: but think about two thousand and eight as an example,
13:12
Speaker 9: they were eighth going to the finals. They beat Melbourne
13:15
Speaker 9: who are the top of the logs, so it is possible,
13:17
Speaker 9: but it feels like the Warriors are going to have
13:19
Speaker 9: to do something rather remarkable to get through to the
13:23
Speaker 9: next round of the finals. But looking forward to it.
13:24
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, Sam Herey has shown the flashes of promise. Will
13:28
Speaker 2: he be invaluable to that?
13:31
Speaker 9: Well, he has to play first Ryan, he's on the
13:34
Speaker 9: extended reserves. As things down. He was sensational last week.
13:37
Speaker 9: I thought I must have been. I was a little
13:38
Speaker 9: bit surprised that he wasn't. And Andrew Webster's initial seventeen
13:43
Speaker 9: named on Tuesday. However, there is a change. They can
13:47
Speaker 9: make changes right up into an hour before kickoff. But
13:49
Speaker 9: it really does feel like to me they will need
13:51
Speaker 9: some form of X factor player, whether that is Sam
13:54
Speaker 9: Hereley coming in late, Alekajalasima is now starting. So it
13:58
Speaker 9: will take something a little bit beyond what the Warriors
14:00
Speaker 9: is delivered over the last couple of weeks and defeats
14:03
Speaker 9: to beat such a strong interesting.
14:05
Speaker 2: Get a high impact player and off the bench late
14:08
Speaker 2: in the piece, and they appreciate that. Nick view Lee
14:10
Speaker 2: News talks he'd be sports journalist with US this morning
14:12
Speaker 2: twenty four minutes after five, and I have to say, McKenzie,
14:15
Speaker 2: we've had a text coming from Christine. Okay, Christine's angry
14:20
Speaker 2: this morning.
14:20
Speaker 5: Ryan.
14:21
Speaker 2: You have no idea how irritating it is to have
14:23
Speaker 2: that sting saying your name played all the goddamn time.
14:27
Speaker 2: We know it's you. We listen because it's you, Ryan Bridge.
14:31
Speaker 2: We don't need it rammed down our ears constantly. No
14:34
Speaker 2: one else does it. Why do you do it? Peg
14:36
Speaker 2: it back? Please, Christine? Do we do it Mackenzie more
14:39
Speaker 2: than other people? No, Christine, that's not true. Apparently we
14:44
Speaker 2: do it the same as everyone else. Why are you
14:46
Speaker 2: picking on McKenzie. It's not me, it's mackenzie anyway. Apparently
14:53
Speaker 2: it's to separate the interviews. But look, we can try
14:55
Speaker 2: and peg it back Christine, because I don't want to
14:57
Speaker 2: upset you at five point twenty five on a Friday morning,
15:00
Speaker 2: as you're heading into your weekend. Anyway, I have some
15:02
Speaker 2: thoughts on jeesus, it's been a big news week. Thoughts
15:05
Speaker 2: on that for you. Next, and we're talking education, those
15:08
Speaker 2: new curriculum subjects just before six News Talk sabb.
15:12
Speaker 1: The Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
15:19
Speaker 2: Five point twenty seven on News Talk SAIBB. This week,
15:22
Speaker 2: NASA found the clearest sign yet of ancient life on Mars.
15:27
Speaker 2: I know, did you see that? We learned it for
15:29
Speaker 2: the first time in human history. There are more obese
15:32
Speaker 2: children on Earth than underweight children. How sad in the
15:36
Speaker 2: Middle East, missiles, bomb piece talks over the skies of Europe.
15:39
Speaker 2: We got drones, we got fighter jets, and the US,
15:42
Speaker 2: supposedly the first among free nations, another political assassination. And
15:47
Speaker 2: it's times like this you stop and think what a
15:50
Speaker 2: strange species we are. If those Martian aliens ever turned
15:54
Speaker 2: up here, God help us, what would they think of us?
15:58
Speaker 2: How would we explain ourselves and our behavior. Religion is
16:03
Speaker 2: about loving thy neighbor, but we fight in the name
16:05
Speaker 2: of it. Food is scarce, but some have too much
16:08
Speaker 2: and others have too little. Democracy means freedom until you're
16:12
Speaker 2: shot in the head for speaking your mind. Of course,
16:15
Speaker 2: none of this is unusual. We have done this, this
16:18
Speaker 2: weird species. We have done this since the beginning of time.
16:20
Speaker 2: We fight, we killed, we war, and we rint some repeat.
16:24
Speaker 2: Animals fight for territory, for food, and for survival. We
16:27
Speaker 2: do that too, but we also fight just because we
16:30
Speaker 2: can't agree with each other, you know. I think what
16:33
Speaker 2: it all boils down to is the fact that we
16:35
Speaker 2: are social beings. It can work for us, but it
16:38
Speaker 2: can also work against us. Arguably, social media is making
16:42
Speaker 2: all of this worse. So what are we to conclude
16:45
Speaker 2: from all of this? How are we to explain ourselves
16:47
Speaker 2: to an alien? What if they landed tomorrow in some
16:50
Speaker 2: big spacecraft and said, take me to your leader? Who
16:53
Speaker 2: would you take them to? Donald Trump? You know? Do
16:56
Speaker 2: you tell them to Antonio Guterres, the Pope, the King.
16:59
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know the answer to any of these questions.
17:01
Speaker 2: I thought about it last night. Maybe we'd be better
17:04
Speaker 2: off asking a question. Hey, you've got any room up
17:07
Speaker 2: there for me, Ryan Bridge, and there's a sting for you.
17:11
Speaker 2: Christine Taylor says, Ryan, play it one more time just
17:14
Speaker 2: to piss her off. It's entertaining, Sorry, Christine. Right twenty
17:19
Speaker 2: nine after five, we are live to the UK for
17:21
Speaker 2: the latest on Lord Mandelston and we'll talk education for
17:25
Speaker 2: full six news talk. Sibb said, I.
17:29
Speaker 9: Was your favorite.
17:36
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with
17:39
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof love.
17:42
Speaker 2: Where you live? News Talk set B. Good morning, it
17:50
Speaker 2: is twenty four minutes away from six. You're on news
17:52
Speaker 2: Talk set B coming up for full six. The new
17:54
Speaker 2: subjects the kids are going to be taught at secondary school,
17:57
Speaker 2: and we'll head to a europe correspondent on NATO's response
18:01
Speaker 2: to those Russian jones drones. I should say out of
18:04
Speaker 2: the US, we've had an inflation number overnight two point
18:07
Speaker 2: nine percent for August, higher than July. You'll remember back
18:10
Speaker 2: in July it was two point seven percent, So it
18:12
Speaker 2: is notching edging up. That's after slowing down over summer. Food, housing,
18:18
Speaker 2: cars closed, they're all firming up. This is in line,
18:20
Speaker 2: by the way, this number with forecasters inflation, inflation expectations, tariffs,
18:27
Speaker 2: they go up, businesses push prices up, and then consumers
18:30
Speaker 2: pay more. And this is what happens core inflation. That's
18:33
Speaker 2: once you strip out your food and strip out energy.
18:35
Speaker 2: That's at three point one percent. So what does all
18:37
Speaker 2: of this mean, Well, basically no change to the expectations
18:40
Speaker 2: we've been talking about for the past week or so
18:42
Speaker 2: to the three rate cuts that they're expecting from the
18:45
Speaker 2: FED before Christmas. Wall streets loving that this morning. It's
18:48
Speaker 2: all on. Prices up slightly, but they're not, you know,
18:51
Speaker 2: dramatically going nuts. Jobs data has been noisy over the
18:56
Speaker 2: last few weeks, so rate cuts and America's would be
19:00
Speaker 2: relatively sweet. Bryan Bridge, twenty three away from Sex. Let's
19:04
Speaker 2: go to our reporters around the country, Cluen Proctor and
19:06
Speaker 2: Dnedan Coulm Good morning.
19:08
Speaker 1: All right.
19:09
Speaker 2: Now, there's some unexpected Environments Southland charges that the farmers
19:13
Speaker 2: are feeling blindsided by them.
19:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's been concerns that the Council's environmental compliance checks
19:21
Speaker 10: have been costing farmers up to four thousand dollars even
19:24
Speaker 10: when no problems were found with these checks. Farmers say
19:29
Speaker 10: they feel targeted for revenue gathering and that they're already
19:33
Speaker 10: bad relationship with Environments South and will only get worse
19:37
Speaker 10: if this charging continues. Environments South and Ryan denies the
19:41
Speaker 10: unnecessary invoices. They say they're undertake cost recovery, so ratepayers
19:45
Speaker 10: don't fit the bill.
19:46
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather?
19:48
Speaker 10: Got rain developing here this morning, but it should clear
19:51
Speaker 10: this afternoon. Slash evening to find westerlies and twelve the
19:55
Speaker 10: high today.
19:55
Speaker 2: All right, Chez Clears and christ Church's clear good morning,
19:58
Speaker 2: Good morning. Are you got the reopening of christ Church Cathedral?
20:02
Speaker 11: Yes, this is the new staged rebuild plan which would
20:05
Speaker 11: see the cathedral Square landmark reopen to the public by
20:08
Speaker 11: twenty thirty. This rebuild, of course, was paused indefinitely last
20:13
Speaker 11: year and at the time they said there was an
20:15
Speaker 11: eighty five million dollar shortfall. This new platin that's been
20:18
Speaker 11: announced will have that gap to forty million dollars. The
20:22
Speaker 11: Anglican Church is pledging twenty million. Work will start next year,
20:26
Speaker 11: firstly on the nave, the rose window and then the
20:29
Speaker 11: entrance way as well as the bell tower reinstatement. Group
20:33
Speaker 11: chair Mark Stewart says they do remain hopeful that the
20:35
Speaker 11: city Council and government will cover the rest of the gap,
20:39
Speaker 11: while Dean Ben Truman says the cathedral attractive seven hundred
20:43
Speaker 11: and fifty thousand people a year pre quake, he thinks
20:46
Speaker 11: will see the same level of interest once this third
20:48
Speaker 11: stage is complete.
20:50
Speaker 2: Right, how's your weather.
20:52
Speaker 11: Frosty to start then?
20:53
Speaker 9: Fine?
20:53
Speaker 11: We could see some brief showers this afternoon and a
20:56
Speaker 11: high of fourteen.
20:57
Speaker 2: Nice one. Thanks Claire Max and Wellington Hamax good morning.
21:01
Speaker 2: Things a bit smelly in lower heart.
21:04
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I used to think the infamous Seaview
21:07
Speaker 12: smell was something of a myth, and then I got
21:09
Speaker 12: to know a friend who lives in Seaview and ask
21:12
Speaker 12: them is it really that bad? And apparently it is,
21:15
Speaker 12: or it can be when the wind is blowing a
21:16
Speaker 12: certain direction, bad eggs, etc. Anyway, we were worn yesterday
21:20
Speaker 12: that the Seaview wastewater treatment plant needs to undergo yet
21:24
Speaker 12: more repairs. There's a sludge that's normally put for a dryer.
21:28
Speaker 12: The dryer needs fixing, so the sludge is wet, not good.
21:31
Speaker 12: There are other parts of the Hut Valley that can
21:33
Speaker 12: detect this stuff as well. Apparently twenty years it's been
21:36
Speaker 12: going on. There's a Facebook page with a strong following
21:39
Speaker 12: bemoaning the Seaview smell. It's going to be particularly bad
21:43
Speaker 12: until at least the end of next week.
21:45
Speaker 2: You sometimes get there out at more point by the
21:48
Speaker 2: airport and you get a bit of a smell.
21:49
Speaker 12: Have you ever experienced That's right, I've heard of that
21:51
Speaker 12: one as well. Yes, I can't verify it, but I've
21:54
Speaker 12: heard of it all right, how's you with her cloudy periods?
21:57
Speaker 2: Scattered rain twelve the high Happily win for the huts
22:01
Speaker 2: Neva's and Auckland. Hey nev, Happy Friday, Happy Friday, we
22:04
Speaker 2: made it. Yes, Auckland drivers should plan for big disruptions tomorrow.
22:09
Speaker 13: Yes, So what's happening. We've got Pro Palestine supporters, so
22:13
Speaker 13: they're expected to march across the Harbor Bridge tomorrow. Apparently
22:17
Speaker 13: they're going to be meeting at Onnyportal Domain and North Cote.
22:20
Speaker 13: They'll be marching south over the bridge to Victoria Park.
22:24
Speaker 13: This is happening round about nine thirty am, So obviously
22:28
Speaker 13: MZTA is expecting heavy congestion delays expected on both sides
22:32
Speaker 13: of the bridge, you know, as well as all the
22:33
Speaker 13: other local roads and that. So if you're going to
22:35
Speaker 13: be doing anything, you need to be getting up at
22:37
Speaker 13: three am like us.
22:39
Speaker 2: It's annoying. It is annoying. I know, look at what's
22:42
Speaker 2: happening overseas etc. It's important and you know we all
22:45
Speaker 2: know that. But is watching them go over the bridge
22:48
Speaker 2: going to make you go out and do No, it's stupid.
22:51
Speaker 2: I want to go swimming tomorrow, do you Yeah, I've
22:53
Speaker 2: got a date with my friends to go swimming at
22:56
Speaker 2: the beach on the North Shore. I'm now going to
22:59
Speaker 2: have to cancel.
23:00
Speaker 13: Well, look now, why don't you go over there tonight,
23:03
Speaker 13: stay the night, then get up early and you know what,
23:05
Speaker 13: I don't care because I will be in Wellington tonight.
23:09
Speaker 11: You go here for the weekend.
23:10
Speaker 13: And no, I'm not going for the rugby. I'm just
23:12
Speaker 13: going for a family event at twenty first.
23:14
Speaker 2: Go have a whiff of lower hearts. You're always going
23:16
Speaker 2: there for twenty first.
23:17
Speaker 13: Have I know I've got about like ten nephews.
23:20
Speaker 2: Ok, how's the weather for this protest?
23:23
Speaker 13: Okay, rain, heavy falls, boo hoo yay, terrible our thunderstorms and.
23:33
Speaker 2: It's all going down everybody, but it's warm. Eighteen pasa,
23:38
Speaker 2: thank you, enjoy the twenty first. Happy twenty first to
23:41
Speaker 2: your nephew.
23:42
Speaker 4: Thank you.
23:44
Speaker 2: Eighteen Away from Sex News Talk ZIBB, we're live to
23:47
Speaker 2: the UK next, NATO making some moves over those Russian drones.
23:51
Speaker 2: Also before Sex will get to the education announcement from
23:54
Speaker 2: Eric at Stanford the new subjects that your kids are
23:57
Speaker 2: going to be taught at school.
23:58
Speaker 1: News Talk SIDB International correspondence with insign Eye Insurance Peace
24:04
Speaker 1: of Mind for New Zealand business.
24:06
Speaker 2: Call it just sex. The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein continues
24:09
Speaker 2: to claim Skelts. This time it is Starmer firing the
24:12
Speaker 2: ambassadors to the US from the UK versus the labour
24:15
Speaker 2: right Lord Manderson, Vincent mcavinnie as a UK europe correspondent, Vincent,
24:20
Speaker 2: what do they know about Mandelssohn now that they didn't
24:23
Speaker 2: know before? What's changed?
24:25
Speaker 9: Well?
24:25
Speaker 14: Lord Manderson is a veteran of labor politics in the
24:28
Speaker 14: UK for decades. He was appointed by Keir Starmer as
24:32
Speaker 14: the fasttor to the United States because he is such
24:35
Speaker 14: an amazing networker. But that part of that networking in
24:38
Speaker 14: his past has been a very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
24:42
Speaker 14: Now he had previously played this depth, but in the
24:45
Speaker 14: release from Congress birthday book for Epstein, we saw that
24:49
Speaker 14: drawing from Donald Trump, we also saw pages and pages
24:52
Speaker 14: of photographs and pleasant descriptions of the times that Mandelsson
24:55
Speaker 14: had shared with Epstein. And so his position became untenable
24:59
Speaker 14: because he said, but everyone loves you, You're one of
25:01
Speaker 14: my closest friends, and that they'd enjoyed many holidays together
25:04
Speaker 14: with accompanying photographs.
25:07
Speaker 2: And how did they not know? Because they knew that
25:09
Speaker 2: there was a relationship that Starmer and number ten, right,
25:12
Speaker 2: but did they inquire further before they appointed him? You
25:15
Speaker 2: know how close were they? Did they do any investigation?
25:19
Speaker 2: Are those legitimate questions?
25:21
Speaker 14: I think those will be legitimate questions now because this
25:24
Speaker 14: relationship was known, but Mandleson had played it down. But
25:27
Speaker 14: this is you know, I've lost counted a number of
25:29
Speaker 14: times that Peter Mandelson has been sacked. He was sacked
25:31
Speaker 14: I think twice under Tony Blair for infractions of different rules.
25:35
Speaker 14: He was a bit of a wheeler dealer. So this
25:37
Speaker 14: is just a letter, sorry chapter with him. But he
25:39
Speaker 14: was someone who had managed to strike up a close
25:42
Speaker 14: relationship with Donald Trump, was spotted in the Oval office
25:45
Speaker 14: with him and the scene as a master networker. So
25:47
Speaker 14: it doesn't mean that we're slightly weakened.
25:49
Speaker 2: Now in Washington, we've got a UN meeting happening. I mean,
25:52
Speaker 2: what do you do? This is over Poland and the
25:55
Speaker 2: Russian drones. But what's NATO doing with its defense as
25:58
Speaker 2: anything major?
26:01
Speaker 14: Well, NATO is interpreting what happened earlier this week when
26:03
Speaker 14: those Russian drones incurred on Polish airspace as being a
26:07
Speaker 14: test for them I think they think that it's Russia
26:09
Speaker 14: just sort of testing the fences, seeing whether or not
26:12
Speaker 14: NATO is ready to respond. There was a response from
26:15
Speaker 14: the Polish Air Force. We understand that it's seen as
26:18
Speaker 14: not being quite strong enough for Vladimir Putin. So they're
26:21
Speaker 14: moving troops, they're moving artillery, they're bolstering the Polish defenses
26:27
Speaker 14: in a way that many have been calling for for
26:29
Speaker 14: some time. Because this isn't the first time this has happened.
26:32
Speaker 14: They have strayed in once or twice before, but it's
26:34
Speaker 14: the first time this has been seen as a direct approach.
26:37
Speaker 2: Vincent, Thank you. Vincent Mecaviny, a UK europe correspondent, just
26:40
Speaker 2: gone thirteen away from six right and Bridge Rich Right
26:43
Speaker 2: Erica Stanford has released the subjects list. This is the
26:46
Speaker 2: new subjects which will be included in the replacement of NCEEA.
26:50
Speaker 2: I've got some new ones here for you. Primary Industries
26:53
Speaker 2: will be a science subject you can take in year thirteen.
26:56
Speaker 2: Electronics and Micatronics is one you can take in year twelve.
27:01
Speaker 2: That's under technology. Also automotive engineering, building and construction, infrastructure engineering,
27:07
Speaker 2: mechanical engineering. You can take music technology. Sociology is new Civics, politics, philosophy,
27:14
Speaker 2: Pacific studies or new subjects. Clear Amos is the Albany
27:18
Speaker 2: Senior High School principle with me this morning. Clear, Good morning, Morena.
27:22
Speaker 2: Good list.
27:24
Speaker 15: It's an interesting list. I have mixed feelings about the list.
27:28
Speaker 15: The subject titles sound great, but there's a whole lot
27:31
Speaker 15: of information about what sits behind them that I have
27:34
Speaker 15: questions around which.
27:35
Speaker 2: I guess is I mean, would you expect to have
27:37
Speaker 2: all the detail when they're just releasing the list.
27:40
Speaker 15: Well, I'm interested that we've even got a list which
27:43
Speaker 15: has had zero consultation, So this has come as a
27:46
Speaker 15: bit of a bolt out of the blue. I recognize
27:49
Speaker 15: it's an extension of the proposal to replace INCA and
27:53
Speaker 15: to provide some suggestions. You know that's still supposedly up
27:56
Speaker 15: for consultation and hasn't shouldn't be a face to complete
28:00
Speaker 15: at this stage. So I think it's interesting that we've
28:03
Speaker 15: been given a whole new senior subjects list without any
28:07
Speaker 15: consultation at this stage, and we've got a whole lot
28:09
Speaker 15: of new subjects, and we've got these vet subjects, which
28:12
Speaker 15: I think are a really interesting thing to explore further
28:15
Speaker 15: because they may actually present some issues for our sector.
28:18
Speaker 2: What vet subjects are you talking about?
28:21
Speaker 15: So vocational education and training subjects. There's a whole lot
28:24
Speaker 15: of new ones, some of them that you mentioned primary
28:26
Speaker 15: industries and etc. Outdoor education is now a vocational subject.
28:31
Speaker 15: What we know about vocational subjects is they're not going
28:35
Speaker 15: to be funded for schools to necessarily resource and teach.
28:39
Speaker 15: What they will do is they'll have an industry skills
28:42
Speaker 15: board who will be developing the resources and potentially even
28:46
Speaker 15: delivering the teaching and learning. And I've got a real
28:49
Speaker 15: concern that this is a bit of a creeper way
28:52
Speaker 15: towards privatization of parts of our education sector, but also
28:58
Speaker 15: that it takes it out of the context of school.
29:00
Speaker 15: Some of the most powerful vocational teaching and learning at
29:03
Speaker 15: the moment happens in the context of our schools where
29:05
Speaker 15: they're designing it to meet the needs of their very
29:08
Speaker 15: distinct community such as rural communities.
29:10
Speaker 2: Clear, do you accept that NCAA has been failing students
29:14
Speaker 2: and has been failing parents? And if you accept that,
29:17
Speaker 2: then why does schools who are the ones that have
29:20
Speaker 2: had the flexibility to run the system now need to
29:23
Speaker 2: say on all in Sundry with the replacement.
29:26
Speaker 15: I actually don't accept that NCAA is a failure. I think,
29:29
Speaker 15: like every system, it has some points of weakness that
29:32
Speaker 15: we need to address. But I actually believe we would
29:35
Speaker 15: be far better off to improve the system that we have.
29:39
Speaker 15: I keep thinking about the incredible amount of resourcing, the
29:43
Speaker 15: amount of dollars it's going to create to not only
29:46
Speaker 15: rewrite the curriculum for every single subject in that list,
29:50
Speaker 15: because if we get the proposed changes to this new
29:54
Speaker 15: Zealand Certificate of Education, that's going to require brand new
29:58
Speaker 15: curriculum for everything subject, brand new assessment frameworks for every
30:03
Speaker 15: single subject. That's huge resourcing. I think we need to
30:07
Speaker 15: actually pause for a moment, step back and look at
30:09
Speaker 15: what the real issue is. If we want to raise
30:11
Speaker 15: literacy and numeracy and make sure that we're actually raising
30:16
Speaker 15: the outcomes of all of our learners.
30:18
Speaker 2: Where how can you so you accept that we need
30:20
Speaker 2: to do all those things, which is clearly means it
30:23
Speaker 2: hasn't been done, you know, No, it needs means.
30:26
Speaker 15: We need to make improvements. One of our most esteemed professors,
30:30
Speaker 15: Vivian Robinson, says we need to reduce change to increase improvement,
30:35
Speaker 15: and I worry that if you're not an educator, simply
30:39
Speaker 15: rewriting the whole system looks like a very neat and
30:43
Speaker 15: tidy solution, when we would be far better off investing
30:47
Speaker 15: in what we have and improving it and advancing I'm
30:50
Speaker 15: not clearly doesn't need to be improvements made, but let's.
30:53
Speaker 14: Work with what we've got.
30:54
Speaker 2: I have delivered the clear amos at Albany Senior High
30:56
Speaker 2: School principle. If you're a parent listening to that, I'm
30:59
Speaker 2: sure you're thinking this is part of the problem. Eight
31:04
Speaker 2: to six News Talk said, be.
31:07
Speaker 1: On your radio and on Lane on. Iheard Radio early
31:11

31:24
Speaker 2: lovely teal. It's a very tell. When I had it,
31:28
Speaker 2: just a good question.
31:28
Speaker 16: When I had this made, the bloke who made it
31:30
Speaker 16: or got it made for me said, this is the
31:32
Speaker 16: greatest thing you said that had done.
31:33
Speaker 2: So it's like for those who obviously can't see it,
31:38
Speaker 2: it's like handset colors. I do very much.
31:41
Speaker 16: Remember it's not far off. If you want to go
31:44
Speaker 16: back even further, it's probably goes back to the New
31:47
Speaker 16: Zealand days of earlier. They had a teal and so
31:49
Speaker 16: it's it's very fetching. It is fitch and not many
31:53
Speaker 16: people can wear it, and I think I get away
31:55
Speaker 16: with it, and I think I've teamed it with the
31:56
Speaker 16: beautiful gray.
31:57
Speaker 2: Which is a personally I wouldn't do that. Shit. You
32:00
Speaker 2: do that, you do you do a casual don't don't

32:11
Speaker 16: says to me, So you're on my wife's team, she
32:12
Speaker 16: says to me. I walk through the door, she goes,
32:14
Speaker 16: why are you wearing the old man's network yet? Again,
32:16
Speaker 16: that's what she says. Because I went out and I
32:18
Speaker 16: got I decided you're right. I was going t shirts
32:21
Speaker 16: and then I thought I'll do this and I discovered
32:22
Speaker 16: one of these.
32:23
Speaker 2: You're either going to the tennis or to a business meeting. Nopots.
32:26
Speaker 16: It's got to touch that about it. And I bought
32:28
Speaker 16: like fifteen how We're going to see this for a
32:31
Speaker 16: long time. Lots of different colors. Oh no, no, you
32:33
Speaker 16: know if you look at me every day, Ryan, and
32:35
Speaker 16: I'm surprised you don't, I wear something similar every day.
32:38
