• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to discuss a controversial proposal to overhaul regulation of infant formula,

  Speaker 2: which could have seen plane labels to make formula less appealing.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's understood food safety Minister Andrew Hoggart is opting out
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of the proposal after a failed bid to have it reviewed.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Infant Nutrition Council Chief Executive Jonathan Chu backs the decision.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: So listened to industry and took our concerns seriously and
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: tried to get the review, and because they were unsuccessful
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: in convincing the Australians are now looking to go their
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: own way.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Beds and a player store News Talk Zippy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Nine after five. Good morning, if you're just joining US.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailing athlete Joe Lay have
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: been named as our flag bearers for these games, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you'd have to say they've got the most difficult games
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to bear the flag. Four They are going to be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: on a boat, a moving boat, rather than just walking
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: into a traditional stadium, so that'll be an interesting one.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That opening ceremony kicks off five point thirty tomorrow morning
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to the US we go now, the economy has grown
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: two point eight percent in the second quarter GDP. That's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: much higher than was expected. The pundits were saying two
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: point one percent. They've grown two point eight percent for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: quarter two. Quarter one was one point four percent, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: business spending up quite a lot, apparently commercial construction, equipment, software,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So business is starting to invest and feel a bit
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: more comfortable and confident to invest in the US, which
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is good. It's largely driven by household spending though, that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: was the big driver, up two point three percent. Interestingly,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: inflation over there not in the Fed's two percent target range.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's still above that, but it is cooling. Apparently the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Fed there is going to hold rates and then potentially
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: cut in September. Also in the States. I just find
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: this fascinating. The FBI director has spoken to a committee
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in Washington, DC, Capitol Hill and said, actually, we don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: know that a bullet hit Donald Trump's ear. He says
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it could have been shrapnel. And you can imagine the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: outcry they'll be about that. Because Trump has specifically said
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that it was a bullet that hit his ear. Christopher Ray,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: who's the FBI director, said that was not clear and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was far from being the case. It's possible he could
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: have been struck by shrapnel. So there you go. Lots
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: more to come on the program this morning. David Seymour
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: on early childhood education and coming up next, Beef and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Lamb on freshwater standards.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a playing Store. News Talk said be.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Thirteen after five. An independent review of freshwater standards has
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: found that our sediment and e coleli national targets will
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be to meet. Beef and Lambs say, if agriculture get this,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: if agriculture across the country was stopped. Even if we
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: did that, thirty eight percent of our rivers still wouldn't
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: meet the requirements if they were returned to their natural state.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: It's currently up to each council to determine if they
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: implement the targets. And Kate Ackland is the chair of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Beef and Lamb New Zealand. She's with us this morning.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Good morning, explain to us what these standards actually say.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: For these standards of that essentially they give bottom lines
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: that have to be meat or all minimum standards that
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: farmers would have to meet. I think, as you've explained
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: in the opening, all this report shows is that those
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: standards actually physically can't be mean. I mean. A review
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: of the published literature also indicated that about twenty percent
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: of our waterways currently coming out of the catchments in
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: their natural state, so that's coming straight out of national parks,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: don't meet those requirements.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So even in the most pristine environments, twenty percent of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: those rivers wouldn't meet the wouldn't meet the standards. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: they're obviously a bit too high according to this review,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: can you change them?
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: So what we're asking actually is that we're just just
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: pause and essentially remove those two standards, So not all
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: of the standards, but just those two that where the
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: science that's been put into how there set is fought,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and we work on something that's a bit more practical,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: because this is not about us trying to delay regulation
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: or remove regulations. We absolutely acknowledge that farming can have
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: an impact on freshwater quality and it needs to be managed.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: But what we're wanting isn't enduring framework. So the targets
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: need to be realistic, and they need to be achievable,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: and they need to be based on really sound science.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Is this a government issue or is it a council
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: issue that you're going to have to tackle.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Well, look, it's a government issue because it comes from
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management twenty twenty. It's
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: councils that are implementing that regionally, and I guess that's
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: where our real concern is is that, you know, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: government's indicated that they're going to replace the National Policy
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Statement for Freshwater Management, but there is a bit of
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: a delay period and some of these targets or bottom
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: lines are becoming embedded in regional policy of planning space.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: So this is quite an urgent matter. It's quite a
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: pressing matter.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Very quickly. And just finally, if the standards were implemented,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: how much would it cost the country, How much would
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it cost business?
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: So different thoughts suggests that forty four percent of all
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: seed and beef farmland would need to be retired. Then
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: there needs to be further, really extensive measures, right pole
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: planting and additional fencing that would cost in the billions
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: of dollars. And then even if all of those mitigations
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: were put in place, you know, half of the time
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: we still wouldn't be meeting those those current national boss lignes.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: So they're just not realistic and you know, they're just
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: not based on sound science.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Kate Thank you very much for your time this morning.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Kate Ackland, chair of Beef and Land New Zealand, on
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that independent review you into our freshwater standards, specifically sentiment
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and e Coli. David Seymour on early childhood education.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Next, news and views you trust to start your day.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying store.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be eighteen after five. Brian has texted
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the program He's not buying the FBI directors claim that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it might have been shrapnel that hits Donald Trump and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: not actually a bullet. Brian's says, shrapnel really ar fifteen
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: rounds used would do exactly what the damage was, but
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: shrapnel not not a chance, So he's not buying that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: One nine two ninety two the number to text. Labour
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to Party, MALDI and the Greens have united against the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Early Childhood Education Sector Review. The Ministry of Regulation started
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it last month to look into the health and safety,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: child protection, buildings, playgrounds, affordability, all of that stuff to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: do with early childhood education. The opposition parties and the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Educational Institute and the NZDI say the review could lead
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to quote dangerous changes that would harm Tamadiki. The Minister
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: for Regulation and the Associate Education Minister is David Seymour.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He's with us this morning. David, good to have you
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: on the program. Can you give us an example, because
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you know the opposition is saying that this is all
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: going to be a hell and a handbasket, an example
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of an unnecessary regulation that's strangling the sector at the moment.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: We've had early childhood censers get in touch saying that
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: they're required to have a health and safety plan around
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: an apple tree because an apple could fall on a
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: child and that's of danger. Well, you couldn't have Isaac
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Newton go to that particular center. We've had early childhood
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: centers get in touch and say we have to have
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: nineteen different documents prepared and ready for inspection. That is
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: just massive, massive overkill. We've had early childhood education censers
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: say that they have been harassed by inspectors because their
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: first aid certificate was to the side of a door
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: rather than above a door as it's apparently meant to be.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: I could go on, but the entire sector of people
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: who work in early childhood education tell us that they
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: have had it up to here with the amounts of
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: red tape and regulation they face. Even the MZI, the
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: Primary and Early Childhood Teachers Union, has surveyed its own
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: members and if I recall from their own booklet, fifty
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: six percent of their members say that red tape and
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: regulation is a problem one of the largest concerns that
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: their members have.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Are there any plans to change regulations around teacher ratios
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: or the training of teachers of that sorry, of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: early CHILDOOED education specialists.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Not under this review, because this is not about funding. Fundamentally,
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: the ratios come down to how much money there is
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: per child. There is separately a funding review, and I
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: think that we should actually look into what is our
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: drive for the level of qualification of teachers versus the
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: number of people that are available per child, Because right
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: now you can have at least for a period of time,
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: one person looking after fifteen very small children that have
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: just turned two years old. I think that's something that
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: we should look into whether that's desirable. But the regulation
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: review is not about funding and.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Ratio right, so they banging on the wrong drum that
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the opposition could is it possible, David looking at both
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: of these reviews. Is it possible that we could see
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: higher ratios with fewer qualifications or are you saying, actually,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: if anything, it'll be the opposite.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Well, let me put it. At the moment, once a
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: child turns two, you have a dramatic increase in the
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: number of students per teacher, and I think that there's
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: a possibility that you would look at that and say, look,
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: does it make sense to have a reasonably low ratio
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: for under twos but a much higher ratio that day
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: that you turn two. And it might be that what
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: we do is we average it out and make it
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: a bit smoother. But again, we haven't even got close
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: to that. What I find extraordinary about the smooth as
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: I've never seen the three parties in opposition unite around
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: something like this in this term of government. This is
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: the first thing they've united against. They say that they
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: want to stop dangerous changes, but we haven't even announced
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: a single change yet. We're still just listening to people.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Seven hundred people from the early childhood sector plus has
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: been in touch already. So they united against something, but
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: they don't know what it is. That's opposition for our position's.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Sake or the other way.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: You could look about at it is that they are
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: united to promote and protect all the red tape that
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: there is, because they don't actually know what red tape
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: we're hosting to get rid of.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: You very quickly, David, on a separate issue, the forcer
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on sea bed, the government's overturning that Court of appealed
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: decision on Malori customary rights, very quickly, what's your view
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: on this, and you know why do we want why
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: do you think it's important to reduce to say that
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Mary would have on their customer rights.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: Or we have not reduced to say that Mary would
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: have on their customary rights. We are restoring the test
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: for customary marine title that Parliament clearly intended when it
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: passed the Fort Marine and Coastal Area Acts back in
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: twenty ten. The ree Edward's decision by the courts has
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: lowered the test for getting customary marine title. That means
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: that people who apply for it may get a huge
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: say over whether or not you can have resource consents
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: in the coastal area, for example for aquaculture. In our view, yes,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: there are important customary rights that Maori should be able
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: to test in court, but the idea that the courts
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: get to make the law. No no, no, no no no.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Actually Parliament makes the law and if people don't like
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: the way things are, they can elect a new parliament
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: and make new laws. And that's exactly what is now
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: going to happen.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Melita. Thanks for your time. David Simoor, the Associate Education
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Ministry Minister sar regulations are. We should call him. It's
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: just gone twenty five minutes after five You're on News
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Talk said, be CrowdStrike. You know the big meltdown Internet
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: meltdown that happened last Friday. They have offered a voucher
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to those who were affected, but something is wrong with them.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you about that. Plus drone gate, separating the
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: fact from the fiction.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Kids, fill the edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: beds and a pliant store.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: News Talk said, b twenty seven after five, News Talk said,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: be drone gate. It's all anyone is talking about at
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the Olympics, really, isn't it. We've just lost to the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Canadians by the way to one in the women's soccer
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: this morning, women's football, I should say, imagine being that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: assistant coach and the analyst who were caught who were busted.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to the Olympics, it's one of
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: your proudest moments. Your family is behind you, your kids
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: are cheering you on. Wow, it's incredible they're over there.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And then imagine the shame of flying home before the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: games have even begun. I mean, I could think of
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: nothing worse. And you're coming home basically a spy. You
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: know you've broken the rules. Imagine that plane ride, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: imagine facing your family and facing your country when you
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: go home. The shame of it and why apparently they're
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: way better than us anyway, the reigning champs, and they've
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: just beaten us too. Over in Paris, the head coach
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: BEV priestsman is staying on. She sat it out, sat
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: out the match this morning. But I don't know. If
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you dope, you get disqualified, don't you isn't isn't spying?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Isn't cheating the same? And you can't tell me the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: coach didn't know. You know, if the assistant coach is involved,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: surely the head coach would know. And if the head
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: coach knows, surely the players would know. Did they see
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the footage? You can't unsee the footage can you. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: know I might be biased because I'm a Kiwi, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I say send them all home. Send the entire Canadian
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: team home packing. Twenty eight after five Bryan Bridge, Now
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: crowd strike. The big meltdown last Friday. You know affected
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Microsoft computers eight and a half million of them crashed,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: brought the world to a standstill. Not quite, but you
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: know it did affect flights and hospitals and all sorts
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: of things. Anyway, to apologize the big mere Kulpa, they've
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: offered a ten dollar uber Etes voucher to all those affected.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: So they sent an email with this voucher in it
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: as a gesture of goodwill, they said, for the meltdown.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And some users have face problems redeeming the voucher. They
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: received weight for it and error message when trying to
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: order their food. So do you send a voucher to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: say sorry for the error message on the voucher after
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the error message on the computer? Where does it all end?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Twenty nine after five and we are live to Paris
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: just before six.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds at a play
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: At store News Talk.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Siddy.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You there, good morning. It is twenty four away from six.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: You're on news Talk, said Veb. We're going to talk
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: to Aaron Rautli in Paris, the doubles champion, just before
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: six this morning. We better let Selene do her thing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Strong rumors doing the rounds in Paris at the moment
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that Selene Beyond will potentially perform at the opening ceremony
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: of the Olympics tomorrow morning, five thirty our time it
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: kicks off. Wouldn't that be incredible. She hasn't performed since
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. She's been really unwell, stepped away from the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Spotlight due to a battle with stiff person syndrome, which
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: she's been battling since twenty twenty two. Apparently she wants
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to sing again. She's been spotted in Paris in the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: last few days with Lady Gaga. So you know, at
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: this stage just a rumor. We'll have to wait and
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: see it till tomorrow. It is twenty three away from
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Sex and bred Rich Callum property with Dunedan's Jews this
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: morning actually in Thecargol the Mayor Nobby Clark in the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Spotlight again Callum, you see is Ryan the City Council.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: In fact, we'll meet a in Theicargol today to discuss
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: Clark's latest breach of the code of conduct and independent
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: investigations come back and found that Clark failed to meet
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: an appropriate standard of leadership for council and the people
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: of Invercargol. This, you'll remember, was when he used the
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: N word and a homophobic slur during a TV interview
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: earlier this year. That's his third Code of conduct breach.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: Now this report recommends counselors denounce the mere's conducts, request
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: him to publicly apologize, and also says for them to
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: seriously consider steps to either restrict Clark's duties or even
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: invite him to consider resigning.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: The weather in Dunedin today Calum.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Find with high cloud Nordis and sixteen for Dunedin Today brilliant,
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Blake.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Benny is in christ Church for us the Orana Wildlife Park.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Are people sort of boycotting what's happening there?
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: Well, it's thought restoring public faith will be a bit
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: of an uphill battle. Ryan MPI of course investigated this
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: week and checked every animal but found no immediate signs
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: of any welfare or staffing issues. Now, Irana's board has
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: acknowledged it's hard to undo reputational damage, but believes ongoing
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: epxternal reviews will help and the zoo will bounce back. Massive.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: University marketing professor Bodo Land says allegations like these can
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: cause long term brand damage. He says some people won't
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: forget and will never return, but believes most will be
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: reasonable and giving Irana another go. If concerns are late
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: to rest.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon people will just be back there by
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. I would say, how's the weather today? Fine?
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: With areas of morning frost Hire fifteen.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Thanks Blake Lochlin, Rennie's Wellington news for us and a
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: potential backtrack on some of those road crossings in the capitol.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah so you sit on the show.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: We covered a lot of the opposition to these raised crossings,
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: with even some of the regional council expressing cons about
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: the wear and tear on buses and the impact on
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: passenger experience. Now the street is already a sea of
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: road cones with roadworks already underway. So now Wellington Mayor
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Torifano is asked council staff to look into things and
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: bring different options to the council table. She says she
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: wants to see some changes to the original plan, but
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: doesn't want any further cost or delay to the project.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Lachland wild weather in the capitol today.
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: Yes, it's ten degrees at the moment with the area
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: of morning cloud that's clearing up later in the day
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: with a higher thirteen with some fresh and northleas bring.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: It a brilliant thank you. Never ready. Marney's with us
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: in Auckland this morning. Good morning, good morning. Yes so
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Paul's and Leazier Centers, Yes, Lazier Centers in Auckland, you're
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: quite right.
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: Well, look what's happening is that Auckland Council's reviewing the
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: operation of its forty two pools. Now twenty two of
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: these are run by the council and Max Hardy, he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: the group's strategy direct to his says, look, more private
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: operators could be brought in to deliver the services on
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: the council's behalf. Now, the Public Service Association president Benedict Ferguson,
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: he's outraged about this. He says, look, we don't want
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: any more centers outsourced. About this privatization and he says
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: over time that could could be deterioration and bad for
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: the workers. So Auckland Council they haven't made a decision yet,
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: but they said that they would retain ownership, you know,
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: excess hours and pricing. So I think there's going to
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: be more argie bargie over this.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I don't want to privatize the polls.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: They don't.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I have to say that, I do you said to
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the polls, I do a bit, because I do some
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: laps sometimes, do you normally normally when it's a bit
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you know, not in the winter. I don't bother. But
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I have to say that that the public ones, the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: council run ones are actually run really well. There is
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a one private one which you wouldn't even go to.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: It's just filthy.
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: Oh well that's good to know though when you said, well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: not that that's filthy, but that the council ones. Because
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: I haven't been to a public pool since I was
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: five years.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Old, Yeah, well that's the thing. And you know, do
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: enough people go to them?
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: You know, are they making enough money to cut to
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: wash their own face? Neither? Thank you?
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: Weather today Bartley, cloudy isolated shells This morning is going
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: to be fine though after midday our high sixteen degrees
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: so we can.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Swim in the ocean, yes right, nineteen away from six
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: very quickly. A story out of Palmerston North yesterday. This
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is the NZTA employee. Her name is Nadine Ericsson. So
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: she's in court. She gets eleven months home detention. So
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: what she was doing, this has been proven in court.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: What she was doing was logging into the NZTA system,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: finding your address, your personal details, and handing that to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: her gang member boyfriend was in the king Cobras. Now
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: in return she would get meth. So she was trading
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: on our information and apparently he allegedly used that information
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to hunt down and assault motorists that he thought had
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: wronged him on the road. I know, crazy go figure
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: makes you feel good about handing over your details to
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the government, doesn't it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: International correspondence the ins andn Eye Insurance peace of mind
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It's qored to six world number one doubles player Aaron
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Ratliffe with us in just a few moments right now though,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Vincent mcavinie are UK and europe correspondent. Nominations open for
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Conservative Party leader.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, the battle to succeed Rishi Sunak as leader of
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the Conservatives, who are ousted in that massive landside election
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: for Labor earlier this month have now begun and we've
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: already got three candidates in the ring. They are our
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: former Home Secretary James Cleverly, our former Security Minister Tom
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: tougan Hat and our former Housing Secretary who is Robert Jenerick.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: So these are the initial three. They all had to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: get ten other MPs to back them to go through.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: But there will be a whittling down. Only four candidates
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: can enter the race and it's going to take a
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: couple of months. They're not going to know the winner
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: until the second of November. In that time they've got
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: a party conference and they're going to whittle it down
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: to two of that. But the party is it pains
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: not to make the mistakes they did two years ago
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: putting in Liz Trust who turned out to be pretty disastrous.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: They want to make sure that everyone gets time to
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: vet the candidates and they properly discuss what went wrong
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: in this election.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of missy, isn't it When you have
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: them fighting against each other for a couple of months.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: The winner have been declared on the sickond of November.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: These are just oil activists who threw soup over the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: veng Go sunflowers. What's happening with them?
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Two of them, Phoebe Plumber and Anna Holland.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: They're both twenty two. They appeared in court today, as
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: you say, they attacked that painting as part of a
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: protest in the National Gallery here in London. Now they
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: have been told by the judge that they need to
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: be prepared in practical and emotional terms to go to
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: prison when they're sentenced on the twenty seventh of September.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: They're currently out on bail. But just to give you
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: an example, five just op oil protesters who blocked the
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: M twenty five, the super busy motorway around London a
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: few years ago. Well, they this week were sentenced and
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: they received between four and five year sentences. So they
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: are really trying to crack down on this highly disruptive protest.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Just yesterday ten activists were arrested at Heathrow Airport attempting
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: to gain we think access to the runways. That is
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Europ's busiest airport. It would have brought it to a standstill. Course,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: huge disruption. So the UK justice system trying to make
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: sure that people aren't doing these big attacks because in
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: this case, as the judge says, you came within the
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: width of a pane of glass of destroying one of
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the most valuable artworks in the world. So there is
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: little tolerance now, particularly the start of the summer as well,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: when others from just op Oil attack Stonehenge with a
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: sort of flowery paint that caused some damage, we.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Think, yeah, and you know, I was thinking about the Olympics.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I can just imagine what they're planning there too. Thirteen
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: away from six Vincent mcavenni. How you can, you're correspondent
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Excitement is building. Speaking of Paris, in the
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: City of Lights, our QB contingent is preparing to join
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the nearly one hundred boats that taking to the river
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Send for the outdoor opening ceremony, which kicks off in
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: just under twenty four hours. One hundred and ninety five
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: New Zealand athletes are in France for the Games, competing
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: across twenty two sports. One of them is world number
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: one doubles player Aaron Rautliff, and she's with me now
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: live from Paris Erin. Thank you so much for being
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: with me. First of all, what's it like over there?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: How are you enjoying yourself?
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been amazing, you know, first Olympics for me,
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: such an amazing experience. And I'm looking I'm so looking
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: forward to playing and representing New Zealand and it's just
• 27:33
  Speaker 12: been it's been really upper here so far.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: It's a bit of a sort of speed dating. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: suppose you could say, when it comes to the doubles,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: you're playing with lu Lusun. Have you guys played together before?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: How familiar are you with each other?
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so we played together at Billy Jean King Kup
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: in April and it went well, you know, we lost,
• 27:57
  Speaker 12: but we've lost her two players that are ranked in
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: the top I think twenty five at the time.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: So you could definitely see the potential in our partnership.
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: And yeah, she's an amazing player obviously, as you guys know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: you saw her play at Wimbledon.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: And yeah, we've been getting good practices in together.
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: We've gotten like five or we'll get five days in
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: before we play our first round, and so yeah, we're
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: just getting to know each other. I mean, we're rooming together,
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: so we get to know each other quite quickly.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: And then we're just trying to figure out our identity
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: as a team.
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: But you know, we're both good players and so we'll
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: pretty adaptable like to be able to play together.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: So we're excited.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: That's great. You both left New Zealand. You're born in
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: New Zealand but then left relatively young, you know, four
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: or five? Is that the secret? Do you think? Just
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: to get out?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: That's funny.
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: It is funny though, how our stories are slightly similar
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: in that sense, so I thought it was quite cool soon.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Being a left handed does that impact where you play
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: on the court.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: A little bit?
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, it's only a positive because being lefty,
• 28:57
  Speaker 12: that's a ball that a lot of our opponents don't
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: see that all often. You know, it's it's just a
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: it's such a good thing to be a left hand
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: or in tennis, it kind of affects like where we
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: return on what side we play.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: But yeah, nothing other than that really.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: How is it generally at the Olympic village you mentioned
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: you were rooming with with Lulu. What is it like there?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: What you know? Have you been given specific security advice?
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Has been concerned about some security breaches in the last
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: couple of days.
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah, lots of advice and it feels, honestly so safe.
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: There's a whole team for the New Zealand team to
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: help us stay safe and feel secure and you know
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: kind of stay in our little bubble that we have
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: and that that's where we all feel I think the safest,
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: you know, being tennis players, we travel to a different
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: place every single week, so I think we're pretty used
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: to being in places that are a little uncomfortable. But
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: we're feeling really good, really comfortable, and they're doing a
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: great job by making us feel, you know, really secure
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: and really safe with the security.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: It's awesome, brilliant. Well, we're all rooting for you back
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: here in New Zealand, Aaron, for you and Lulu, best
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: of luck. It kicks off tomorrow ten pm our time.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being with us and best
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: of luck.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Thanks so much, appreciate it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: It's Aaron Ratler, the New Zealand tennis Olympian. As I said,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: ten o'clock tomorrow night, the doubles will kick off and
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: you can watch it, well you can listen, I should say,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: on gold Sport. We will have that for you just
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: gone nine minutes away from six, coming up next to
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Mike Hosking. But also I have to very quickly tell
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: you about that titanium heart that's been implanted into a man.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: The heart was designed by the Australians, so we'll get
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: to that shortly.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds had a playing store.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be seven away from six. It's an
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: incredible medical marvel, saying the first time that a titanium
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: heart has been implanted into a human being. It's an
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Aussie invention, evolutionary. A fifty eight year old patient has
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: had the heart transplant and is now walking and talking.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Apparently the first words can I get a soda? Not
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: great for the heart anyway, They tried this on animals
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and the patient initially had end to end heart failure
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: and is now walking and talking.
• 31:19
  Speaker 13: What looks like a little car part is in fact
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: an artificial heart, which uses levitation technology to pump blood
• 31:26
  Speaker 13: around the body the same magnetic force driving Japan's high
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: speed trains. A device that will change the lives of
• 31:33
  Speaker 13: so many Australians and their families.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Incredible as six away from six Now clinical trials with
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that continue now. The man with the titanium heart, Mike
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Costking is here with us. I was thinking about that
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 31:45
  Speaker 14: And have you seen a picture of it. Yes, it's
• 31:47
  Speaker 14: quite the thing looks like a car part, Yeah, it does.
• 31:51
  Speaker 14: And I just wonder whether or not you'd be psychologically
• 31:54
  Speaker 14: affected by it, knowing that something like that's in you
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: because it looks because it's you know, you say titanium,
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: but it looks like steel. It looks like a thing
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: in there that you think might weigh you down.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder how it would feel one.
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: Hundred percent and so but what I found interesting about
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: this so I reckon it's a great story because the
• 32:13
  Speaker 14: guy has been working on it for twenty years and
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: no one's cracked it. It's the thing that no one
• 32:18
  Speaker 14: has been able to crack medically. And not only that,
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: but if you read that, the doctors said, this guy
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: not only got up and walked, they were they marveled
• 32:27
  Speaker 14: at how quickly he's been able to recover. And it
• 32:30
  Speaker 14: was easier. The surgery was easier in the human than
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: in the animals because of course it's built for human
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: construction as opposed to you know.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: And he's a forty five year old from Brisbane. The inventor,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Daniel terms biomechanical engineer. Dad died of cancer. That's the
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: great inventions come from it, Isn't that amazing?
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 32:47
  Speaker 14: I think that that story well, I assume it will
• 32:50
  Speaker 14: go all around the world today because I think it's
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: absolutely incredible what they've done.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: It's brilliant. Hey, what's what's up with you and the
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: All Blacks?
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: There's nothing up here with the All Blacks. No, I'm
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: not war with anybody. All that came out of this
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: I said last week. Actually we're having a meeting. To
• 33:04
  Speaker 14: be honest, the All Blacks rang yesterday and we're having
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: a meeta. Why not having a meeting because I don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: go to meetings, but some people on my behalf are meeting.
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: And all I was saying, and this is I represent
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: the sporting journalist community of this country and the All
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: Blacks have been a pain in the bum for years in.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Dealing with the media, the old Kremlin.
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and it's like like last week they said you
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: can have a fillin. We won't use the name because
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: it's not fair, but you can have a fill in
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: forward to pre record on a Tuesday for our game
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: on Saturday. And I thought, come on, you know this
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: is twenty twenty four. Every other sport in the world.
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: I mean, look at the tennis player. You know, it's
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: not like, oh, You've got to pre record me six
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: months before because I'm playing tennis in three days live.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: The day before they're available.
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: They want to help the sport. The All Blacks, for
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: some reason, have always been a bit weird about it.
