Speaker 2: this morning, for the first time, more kids globally are
0:28
Speaker 2: too fat than too thin. The agenda. It is Thursday,
0:33
Speaker 2: the eleventh of September. Poland's Prime Minister says it's the
0:35
Speaker 2: closest his country has been to an open conflict since
0:38
Speaker 2: the end of World War II. This after they shot
0:40
Speaker 2: down Russian drones in their own airspace.
0:43
Speaker 3: We're most likely dealing with a large scale provocation. But
0:46
Speaker 3: we're in consultation with urlas I am in constant contact
0:51
Speaker 3: with the needs of Secretary General so that we can
0:53
Speaker 3: respond to this tape of threats as effectively as we
0:57
Speaker 3: did tonight.
0:58
Speaker 2: Russia says it didn't do it on purpose. A day
1:00
Speaker 2: after they went after Hamas and Kata, the Israelis now
1:03
Speaker 2: hitting Hooti sites in Yemen. Doha now moving to hold
1:07
Speaker 2: netn Yahoo responsible for breaking international law. STARM is about
1:11
Speaker 2: to have a very awkward meeting with the Israeli president
1:13
Speaker 2: at Downing Street.
1:14
Speaker 4: This visit was controversial even before Israel's air strikes. Yesterday,
1:20
Speaker 4: You've had sixty MPs writing to Sakire Stamer asking what
1:24
Speaker 4: legal advice the government received on whether Isaac Hutzel's visit
1:30
Speaker 4: is compatible with the UK's obligations under the Genocide Convention
1:35
Speaker 4: because of what is happening in Gaza.
1:38
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I told you about the US military veterans saying
1:40
Speaker 2: that they've seen UFOs and I said, just Nutbuz, I said,
1:45
Speaker 2: they're a bit kukubananas. Well, today NASA's held a press
1:48
Speaker 2: conference saying that a rock sample from Mars has shown
1:52
Speaker 2: the potential for life, albeit ancient life.
1:55
Speaker 5: There are at least four hundred known planets, and that
1:59
Speaker 5: means there is a part usibility, some would even say
2:01
Speaker 5: a probability of life beyond Earth. They've done the analysis
2:05
Speaker 5: on these lapid spots and we you know, we think
2:08
Speaker 5: they are potentially made by some sort of ancient life.
2:12
Speaker 5: This finding, by our incredible perseverance. Rover is the closest
2:16
Speaker 5: we've actually come to discovering ancient life on Mars.
2:21
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
2:26
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News Talk.
2:30
Speaker 2: Sa'd be great to be with you this morning. A
2:32
Speaker 2: flick me TeX's nine to nine two love hearing from you.
2:35
Speaker 2: For anyone who's worked in or around corporates, you know
2:37
Speaker 2: that the CFOs, the money men and women. They are
2:40
Speaker 2: the real mvy piece. They're clinical, they're analytical, They often
2:44
Speaker 2: quite unemotional. They basically cut the bullshit. Priority one is
2:48
Speaker 2: grow the business, but when the crisis calls, it's protect
2:51
Speaker 2: the business, keep it running. You trim, you slice your dice.
2:54
Speaker 2: You take cash from here, you put it there, You
2:56
Speaker 2: follow growth strendths. So when they talk, I tend to
3:00
Speaker 2: listen to them, and they've just done a whole lot
3:02
Speaker 2: of talking. And guess what, the news aren't great for
3:04
Speaker 2: the country's biggest CFO, Nicola Willis. Here's what the CFOs
3:08
Speaker 2: have said. Half of them in this survey don't reckon
3:11
Speaker 2: that over the past year their businesses have gone Half
3:14
Speaker 2: of them do think their businesses have either gone backwards
3:17
Speaker 2: or stagnated, and only around half are confident that the
3:21
Speaker 2: current lot in power have a good understanding of what
3:24
Speaker 2: needs to change. That's not great. Four out of five
3:28
Speaker 2: think government policies need to change to boost growth, which
3:31
Speaker 2: is Nichola's job. Remember she's Growth Minister too. But here's
3:34
Speaker 2: the kicker. Only eighteen percent of them reckon that the
3:38
Speaker 2: government will actually make those changes. They want tax changes,
3:42
Speaker 2: they want compliance costs down, they want regulations gone. Add
3:46
Speaker 2: to this the fact that next week's GDP read will
3:49
Speaker 2: have us going backwards and things don't look amazing for
3:51
Speaker 2: the Finance Minister this week. And as these are her people,
3:56
Speaker 2: she should be heading this out of the park, and
3:58
Speaker 2: these are her people. Spring may have sprung, but winter's
4:02
Speaker 2: chasing Nicola willis like a bad smell. It's not all bad,
4:06
Speaker 2: I should say. Thirty eight percent are expecting to see
4:08
Speaker 2: modest growth. That was compared to thirty one percent last year.
4:11
Speaker 2: Pessimism is down, but economies aren't things you just tinker
4:15
Speaker 2: with and then leave alone. When the world changes, we
4:18
Speaker 2: should too, and the world is changing fast, so Willis
4:21
Speaker 2: and Co better keep up because when businesses do well,
4:24
Speaker 2: New Zealand does well. On news talks. B it is
4:29
Speaker 2: ten after five coming up next, we'll talk about this.
4:32
Speaker 2: I mean you won't be surprised to hear this. The
4:35
Speaker 2: world now has a bigger obesity problem for children than
4:38
Speaker 2: it has a malnutrition problem. Other words, there are now
4:42
Speaker 2: more obese kids living on planet Earth than there are
4:46
Speaker 2: starving kids. What's wrong with us?
4:50
Speaker 1: That's next, Views and Views you Trust to start your day.
4:54
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roofe Love
4:59
Speaker 1: where you live the use talks.
5:00
Speaker 2: He'd be five thirteen on your Thursday morning. So we're
5:02
Speaker 2: still not back to pre COVID. But the visitor arrival
5:05
Speaker 2: numbers from yesterday showed that lots of Ozzies love coming
5:08
Speaker 2: here skiing July. This is overall we had an increase.
5:11
Speaker 2: We had a number rather of two hundred and thirty
5:13
Speaker 2: six thousand for the month. We're up six point six
5:16
Speaker 2: percent year on year. The number of Australians coming here
5:20
Speaker 2: is interesting. One hundred and twenty seven thousand of them
5:24
Speaker 2: in the month of July coming here basically go skiing.
5:27
Speaker 2: That is a record for the month of July. So
5:31
Speaker 2: maybe that you know the campaign that everyone poo pooed
5:33
Speaker 2: that Luxeon did with Louise Upston. Everyone must go. Maybe
5:38
Speaker 2: it's actually working, Bryan Bridge. More children are now obese
5:42
Speaker 2: than they are underweight globally nine point two percent underweight,
5:47
Speaker 2: nine point four percent considered too big. Those numbers in
5:51
Speaker 2: the year two thousand, just to give you some context,
5:54
Speaker 2: thirteen percent underweight and just three percent obese. Jackie Saldy
5:58
Speaker 2: saved the Children New Zealand US this morning, Jackie, good morning.
6:02
Speaker 6: Good morning Ryans.
6:03
Speaker 2: So what do you think when you hear that?
6:06
Speaker 7: Deeply concerning and this is something that we need to
6:08
Speaker 7: take urgent action on. Globally, one and twenty children under
6:12
Speaker 7: five years of agents under five are obese and this
6:16
Speaker 7: rises to twenty percent of children aged five to nineteen
6:19
Speaker 7: who are living with overweight and this is deeply concerning
6:22
Speaker 7: and the direct results with the food environment that they
6:24
Speaker 7: are growing up in.
6:25
Speaker 2: Where are the kids that are obese? Which countries rich ones?
6:30
Speaker 7: Well, they're rich and poor now. And we're seeing this
6:32
Speaker 7: spread globally other than Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia.
6:36
Speaker 7: And this is a real problem because as the food
6:38
Speaker 7: environments change, cheap, highly ultra processed, aggressively market marketed foods
6:44
Speaker 7: at children and adolescents is becoming more and more available.
6:48
Speaker 7: And this is food that is really high in sugar, fats, salts, colors,
6:52
Speaker 7: and multi size and flavors. It is not healthy food.
6:56
Speaker 7: It is not the fruits, vegetables and meat or high
6:58
Speaker 7: protein options that we need to be living on.
7:00
Speaker 2: How do you what proportion you said that it's poor
7:03
Speaker 2: and rich and poor countries? Is do rich countries generally
7:07
Speaker 2: have a bigger problem with obesity than poorer ones?
7:10
Speaker 7: Well that was the pattern earlier, but this report shows
7:12
Speaker 7: that those patterns are now changing and it is both rich. Well,
7:17
Speaker 7: it's middle income has really up in their obesity STAPs,
7:21
Speaker 7: but so have the poorer countries where we would not
7:23
Speaker 7: have expected to see this, And this is because of
7:26
Speaker 7: the importing of cheap, highly processed food that is now
7:30
Speaker 7: it's easier to buy and cheaper to buyer than are
7:33
Speaker 7: healthy unprocessed food.
7:34
Speaker 2: How do you stop that then, If it's if you
7:36
Speaker 2: know you could do regulations in wealthier countries, how on
7:39
Speaker 2: earth do you stop that in poorer or middle income countries.
7:43
Speaker 7: Well, again, it's about the regulations about the food that's
7:46
Speaker 7: being imported. In marketing, it's about those food production systems
7:49
Speaker 7: making it affordable for farmers to be producing the food
7:53
Speaker 7: in the first place, and then that you know, farm
7:55
Speaker 7: gate to place concept where it's not going through so
7:58
Speaker 7: many layers of process and profits and cost. It's cost
8:02
Speaker 7: on cost, and so we need to make healthy food
8:04
Speaker 7: accessible and more available, and it takes government systems to
8:07
Speaker 7: do that. Then if we are allowing the importing of
8:11
Speaker 7: really so really cheap food that's highly processed, it's shiny,
8:16
Speaker 7: it looks good that actually when you look at the
8:18
Speaker 7: back of the packet, it's full of sugar, salts and sax,
8:21
Speaker 7: but it might have fruits on the cover. It's just
8:24
Speaker 7: simply misleading. We need better education for parents and children
8:28
Speaker 7: so they know what they're choosing and labeling the big
8:30
Speaker 7: part of that. I mean, you've got to look at
8:31
Speaker 7: a fine print on the back to see how much
8:34
Speaker 7: sugars and something, whereas we should have how many tea
8:36
Speaker 7: spoons of sugar are upfront easy to see, Well, this
8:39
Speaker 7: is thirteen tea spoons of sugar in it, and a
8:41
Speaker 7: daily intake for a child should only before.
8:43
Speaker 2: Jackie, appreciate your time. Jackie Saldy from Save the Children
8:47
Speaker 2: in New Zealand Times seventeen after five Bryan Breade. You know,
8:50
Speaker 2: I don't like taxes, and you know it's not one
8:52
Speaker 2: of the things that I would ever advocate for. But
8:55
Speaker 2: if you were going to put a tax on anything,
8:56
Speaker 2: wouldn't you put a tax on really high sugar stuff?
9:00
Speaker 2: Because you look at what having with cigarettes. You put
9:02
Speaker 2: the only way you got through to smokers, and the
9:04
Speaker 2: really stubborn smokers are still smoking anyway, But to those
9:07
Speaker 2: who were sort of in the middle, the only way
9:09
Speaker 2: you got through to them was by hiking the price
9:11
Speaker 2: to forty to fifty bucks for a pack of duris.
9:15
Speaker 2: So what if you had to pay ten bucks for
9:17
Speaker 2: a canna coke? You wouldn't buy it, would you. Most
9:20
Speaker 2: people wouldn't buy it. The kids certainly wouldn't be buying it.
9:24
Speaker 2: You see. I see it down the road from my house,
9:26
Speaker 2: kids going to school or coming home from school, and
9:30
Speaker 2: they've got enormous one point five liters of fizzy drink
9:34
Speaker 2: in their hands. I mean, the mind boggles seventeen after five.
9:40
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll get fifty bucks off our flight soon if
9:43
Speaker 2: jet Star expands in the way that they hope to
9:45
Speaker 2: Irene king on that next the.
9:47
Speaker 1: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
9:50
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root Love where
9:55
Speaker 1: you live, News talks.
9:56
Speaker 2: That'd be the world has a new richest man at
9:58
Speaker 2: twenty after five. We'll get to that a little after
10:00
Speaker 2: five point thirty and before six we're talking population. Where
10:04
Speaker 2: are key? We's heading bad news that's over the ditch.
10:07
Speaker 2: Maybe they can get a jet Star flight. Jetstar is
10:09
Speaker 2: lighting a fire under air New Zealand. Biggest ever expansion
10:12
Speaker 2: heres six hundred thousand extra seats. New routes like Hamilton
10:15
Speaker 2: to christ Church great for the regions, Seasonal roots like
10:18
Speaker 2: Queenstown de Brizzy great for tourists, Auckland christ Church. You're
10:22
Speaker 2: getting an extra three hundred thousand seats a year from
10:25
Speaker 2: eight flights a day up to eleven. Irene Kings the
10:27
Speaker 2: aviation commentated with us this morning iron good morning.
10:30
Speaker 8: Good morning there.
10:32
Speaker 2: They've seen an opening here with these in New Zealand
10:34
Speaker 2: Jine issues you reckon?
10:36
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, Look, I think this is a great endorsement
10:40
Speaker 8: of a recovery in the New Zealand economy from an
10:43
Speaker 8: international operator that actually understands a lot about the New
10:47
Speaker 8: Zealand market.
10:49
Speaker 2: Is it also because they've been I mean I saw
10:51
Speaker 2: the quantus results. They've got a bit of cash because
10:54
Speaker 2: they've been doing pretty well in Asia and other places.
10:57
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, you know, quantus balance sheet has been significantly strengthening,
11:03
Speaker 8: you know over the last two three years, as opposed
11:06
Speaker 8: to in New Zealand, who we've seen a significant weakening.
11:11
Speaker 8: We've also got capacity coming out of Asia as jet
11:16
Speaker 8: Stagias shut down, and we've got additional aircraft coming into
11:21
Speaker 8: Quantus as well. So all of those things are combining
11:24
Speaker 8: and you know they're really starting to up their game
11:28
Speaker 8: now in New Zealand.
11:29
Speaker 2: Does that mean in New Zealand will have to lower
11:31
Speaker 2: their prices if we have six hundred and sixty thousand
11:34
Speaker 2: new low con seats.
11:36
Speaker 8: Oh, look, you know this is a significant change. And yes,
11:40
Speaker 8: I've felt for quite some time that a New Zealand
11:42
Speaker 8: has to really come to grips with its domestic pricing
11:46
Speaker 8: strategies now that they are subject to significant complaint and
11:51
Speaker 8: their sustainability when you look at, you know, the options
11:55
Speaker 8: you've got of traveling across to Australia now really really
11:59
Speaker 8: come into question.
12:02
Speaker 2: How much do you think we could be shaving off
12:04
Speaker 2: our the average seat price?
12:07
Speaker 8: Well, look, we you look at what jetster typically charged
12:13
Speaker 8: in the New Zealand market, which is just under one
12:15
Speaker 8: hundred dollars per seat. Albeit you know jet Set they're
12:21
Speaker 8: here any zone typically when you look at their charges
12:27
Speaker 8: around about two point fifty, so you know there's a
12:30
Speaker 8: significant price disparity between the two. Now, I understand that
12:35
Speaker 8: the operators you know, are quite significantly different in the
12:39
Speaker 8: services that they provide and things like that. But New
12:42
Speaker 8: Zealand is a price driven sensitive market. And even you're seeing,
12:49
Speaker 8: you know, corporate and business travelers shift onto jetst with
12:53
Speaker 8: this extra capacity that jets is putting in the market,
12:57
Speaker 8: that shift is going to accelerate because every business is
13:01
Speaker 8: now price sensitive.
13:03
Speaker 2: I Ren appreciate you announced this morning. Thanks you, I
13:06
Speaker 2: Ren King. The aviation commentator time is twenty three minutes
13:08
Speaker 2: after five. Ryan. This is where we have our priorities
13:12
Speaker 2: around the wrong way. This is in relation to obesity
13:15
Speaker 2: versus malnutrition. A text coming this morning, Ryan. This is
13:19
Speaker 2: where we have our priorities around the wrong way. Would
13:21
Speaker 2: you prefer to pay a dollar fifty for one point
13:23
Speaker 2: five liters of soft drink soft drink or five dollars
13:27
Speaker 2: for a two liter of milk? We need to increase
13:30
Speaker 2: the sugary drink prices. Yeah, do you then offset you know,
13:33
Speaker 2: whatever tax you collect from increasing the price of sugary stuff,
13:38
Speaker 2: do you put on discounting the price of whole food?
13:41
Speaker 2: Twenty three after five, we'll look at the situation in
13:44
Speaker 2: the Middle East, and Lord help us the situation in Europe.
13:48
Speaker 1: Next the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how
13:52
Speaker 1: It By News.
13:53
Speaker 2: Talks AV News Talks there b twenty six minutes after five.
13:57
Speaker 2: Diplomacy has gone to the dogs. Remember it was only
14:00
Speaker 2: a month ago Trump was parading around in Alaskan Air
14:02
Speaker 2: Force base talking up peace for Ukraine. And then within
14:06
Speaker 2: weeks Putin sends eight hundred drones in a single night
14:09
Speaker 2: across the boarder, biggest attack of the war so far,
14:12
Speaker 2: and he's now entered NATO airspace. The fighter jets are scrambled,
14:16
Speaker 2: the alarm bells ringing in Brussels. Does any of this
14:19
Speaker 2: sound like progress to you? Does any of this sound
14:22
Speaker 2: like diplomacy is doing a damned thing to stop regular
14:26
Speaker 2: folk being slaughtered in the crossfire? No, of course not. Meanwhile, NETNYA,
14:30
Speaker 2: who's firing missiles into Doha again? And who is he
14:33
Speaker 2: aiming for? The Hummas lead negotiator, the same guy who
14:38
Speaker 2: as recently his last week was being given cease fire
14:40
Speaker 2: details from the Americans via the Egyptians and the qataris
14:44
Speaker 2: if you really want peace, you don't fire missiles at
14:47
Speaker 2: the guy you're negotiating with. Now, if you're Hamas, what
14:51
Speaker 2: are you going to do now that the place you
14:53
Speaker 2: thought was safe to have talks no longer feel so safe.
14:56
Speaker 2: Some in Hamas believe the whole thing was a setup.
15:00
Speaker 2: According to the BBC, the American ceasefire proposal was all
15:04
Speaker 2: a trick to get them in one place at one
15:06
Speaker 2: time and then bang bomb them, blow them up. And
15:10
Speaker 2: you can't blame them for thinking that, can you. It
15:13
Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you look, which continent, which war, diplomacy
15:16
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be working. The Americans look weak, Trump
15:19
Speaker 2: looks weak. Netan Yahoo's taking him for a ride and
15:23
Speaker 2: putin well, he couldn't care less. And the one guy
15:26
Speaker 2: in the world sitting back watching, smiling, biding his time
15:30
Speaker 2: and growing a military empire is one sh jingping of
15:34
Speaker 2: China and bread rich. You're on news talk, said big Now,
15:40
Speaker 2: fresh from her real estate conference mc gig in Brisbane.
15:44
Speaker 2: Yes it happened Karmala Harris is now good her memoir
15:46
Speaker 2: and we've got some details for you this morning, hot
15:49
Speaker 2: off the thress, and she's kind of throwing Biden under
15:52
Speaker 2: the bus a little bit. So this is about his
15:54
Speaker 2: decision to seek reelection at twenty twenty four. She's called
15:57
Speaker 2: it reckless. You can understand why they.
16:00
Speaker 9: Were able to make every single solitary person. Are you quite.
16:04
Speaker 10: Eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh,
16:08
Speaker 10: the COVID excuse me, with dealing with everything we had in.
16:15
Speaker 4: Look if we finally beat Medicare.
16:20
Speaker 2: Thank you, President Biden, President Trump. Yeah, it was bad.
16:23
Speaker 2: You remember that, right? Okay, So she's writ in the book,
16:27
Speaker 2: was it grace or was it recklessness for him to
16:29
Speaker 2: decide to run again? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness.
16:33
Speaker 2: The stakes were too high. This wasn't a choice that
16:36
Speaker 2: should have been left to an individual's ego. Okay, but
16:39
Speaker 2: then she went on to do this.
16:41
Speaker 11: You know what also excites me? What I'm among the
16:44
Speaker 11: many things I'm excited about. Electric school buses. I love
16:49
Speaker 11: electric school buses. I just love them for so many reasons,
16:56
Speaker 11: Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.
16:59
Speaker 11: Where's yourn if you went to school on a school bus, right.
17:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird. The whole thing was weird. And
17:08
Speaker 2: now we have Donald Trump. So she also writes in
17:11
Speaker 2: the memoir that she felt sidelined while she was within
17:14
Speaker 2: the White House. Her chief of staff, she writes, had
17:17
Speaker 2: to fight to prevent her from standing in the background
17:20
Speaker 2: of photos like a potted plant. That's sort of the role,
17:23
Speaker 2: isn't it. Vice President. You're just there to make the
17:26
Speaker 2: other one, the main guy, look good. That's the job.
17:30

Speaker 1: live news talks'd be.
17:56
Speaker 2: Good morning. It is tweet four away from the six
17:58
Speaker 2: News Talks, there be this morning the mass exodus across
18:01
Speaker 2: the Tasman continues, Mitch mcan is live from the States
18:05
Speaker 2: for US. Is Ntanya who just taking the mickey? Now
18:07
Speaker 2: with the White House, we'll look at that. Luke has
18:11
Speaker 2: text this morning. Luke, do you know what I always
18:12
Speaker 2: appreciate about appreciate about hearing from you, Luke, is that
18:15
Speaker 2: you put your name at the end of a text,
18:17
Speaker 2: and it's always nice to know people's names. That's just
18:20
Speaker 2: a hint hint for everyone else. He says that this
18:23
Speaker 2: is about Carmela and Biden, with Karmala's new memoir. We
18:26
Speaker 2: were talking about that before the news, and yet the
18:28
Speaker 2: media here had nothing negative to say about Biden and
18:32
Speaker 2: Harris when they were running. Trump gets back in and
18:34
Speaker 2: the whaling begins again. He does finish the text. He
18:37
Speaker 2: is a bit crap too, though. Yeah, I know, it's
18:39
Speaker 2: sort of the lesser of two evils, and I'm not
18:41
Speaker 2: sure which of those which way round that goes at
18:45
Speaker 2: the moment, given the state of the world. We'll talk
18:47
Speaker 2: to Mitch McCann about that shortly. Now, you won't be
18:50
Speaker 2: caring about any of this if you are the world's
18:52
Speaker 2: new richest man and we have to crown one this morning.
18:56
Speaker 2: It's like Elon who This is all off the back
18:59
Speaker 2: of Oracles staging a miracle on Wall Street overnight. His
19:03
Speaker 2: name is Larry Allison. If you haven't heard of him.
19:05
Speaker 2: He owns forty percent of Oracle. He is now worth
19:08
Speaker 2: a whopping three hundred and ninety three billion US dollars.
19:13
Speaker 2: That is six hundred and forty five billion New Zealand dollars.
19:17
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is worth ten billion bucks less. Now New
19:20
Speaker 2: Zealand's GDP is four hundred and thirty six billion dollars
19:24
Speaker 2: New Zealand. So he's worth more than the value of
19:27
Speaker 2: all the finished goods and services this entire country can
19:30
Speaker 2: make in a year. How do you get that rich? Basically,
19:33
Speaker 2: AI it's a software company and Oracle shares jumped forty
19:36
Speaker 2: percent off the back of news that there were good results.
19:39
Speaker 2: They won a bunch of new contracts. It's all cloud infrastructure,
19:43
Speaker 2: so stuff that I will never understand, but has made
19:46
Speaker 2: Larry Ellison a very, very very rich man. This morning,
19:50
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge shadow our reporters around the country, Jamie Cunningham
19:54
Speaker 2: for to Need and Jamie good morning.
19:56
Speaker 12: Good morning Ryan.
19:56
Speaker 2: Support for a new private hospital despite opening before the
20:00
Speaker 2: public one.
20:01
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right. The private facility specializing in general and
20:05
Speaker 12: elective surgery is set to open by mid twenty twenty
20:08
Speaker 12: eight and treat more than ten thousand patients a year.
20:11
Speaker 7: Now.
20:11
Speaker 12: The one point eight billion dollar government funded hospital is
20:14
Speaker 12: opening in twenty thirty one. Jules Raddick says because the
20:18
Speaker 12: existing hospital is oversubscribed, the private one is needed and
20:22
Speaker 12: the two will work interactively. He says they wouldn't be
20:25
Speaker 12: opening a hospital if they didn't see a gap in
20:27
Speaker 12: the market, and the more healthcare Dunedin has, the better.
20:31
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather.
20:33
Speaker 12: It's partly cloudy with the chance of a morning shower,
20:36
Speaker 12: strong westerlies and a high of fourteen.
20:38
Speaker 2: Nice Jamie, thank you, clears and christ Church clear? Good morning,
20:41
Speaker 2: Good morning. So the government announcing an upgrade to christ
20:44
Speaker 2: Church Women's Hospital. Yes, that's right.
20:46
Speaker 13: This is a fourteen million dollar upgrade and expansion to
20:49
Speaker 13: the women's hospital neonatal intensive care unit. This will add
20:53
Speaker 13: ten more neonatal comps, will also improve infection prevention measures
20:59
Speaker 13: and ensure the facility he's meeting the latest fire and
21:01
Speaker 13: safety standards. Health Minister sam In Brown says the unit
21:04
Speaker 13: has been under increasing pressure with demand exceeding capacity. He
21:09
Speaker 13: says this money will help families across Canterbury and ensure
21:12
Speaker 13: more newborns are getting the right care. Work is expected
21:15
Speaker 13: to start next year and be completed early twenty twenty seven.
21:19
Speaker 2: All right, how should weather very.
21:21
Speaker 13: Frosty this morning? But should clear to find westerly's turning
21:24
Speaker 13: northerly twelve degrees.
21:26
Speaker 2: Here's clear Max and Wellington Hamax, Good morning. What happened
21:28
Speaker 2: with the standoff that we saw the bangs on the
21:31
Speaker 2: news last night? The aos were there? What happened?
21:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, so about one o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, this
21:37
Speaker 9: is suay of armed police officers descended on Webb Street
21:40
Speaker 9: in the central city, surrounding a motel. It seemed for
21:44
Speaker 9: some hours they were there. There was a cordon around
21:46
Speaker 9: Webb at also Victoria Streets. They went in pretty promptly
21:50
Speaker 9: to presumably try to negotiate with this suspect, but it
21:53
Speaker 9: wasn't until the evening six point fifteen pm they could
21:56
Speaker 9: arrest him bring him out. That thirty seven year old
21:59
Speaker 9: is still in today and will appear in the district
22:01
Speaker 9: court today charged with unlawfully carrying an imitation firearm. The
22:06
Speaker 9: fact it was an imitation obviously was not known at
22:09
Speaker 9: the time to locals residents in the building in and
22:12
Speaker 9: around this Harbour City motor Rin, which is also used
22:15
Speaker 9: for emergency housing. But at one point you could hear
22:18
Speaker 9: that series of bangs that could very easily have been gunfire.
22:22
Speaker 9: In fact, we thought it might have been for a time. Thankfully,
22:24
Speaker 9: though police the sounds were just police deploying distraction devices,
22:30
Speaker 9: which apparently are often used to try to engage with suspects.
22:34
Speaker 9: Police were still there last night, but the cordons have lifted.
22:37
Speaker 2: All right, how's you wear the next?
22:38
Speaker 9: That should be mostly fine today with some stronger when
22:41
Speaker 9: this morning?
22:42
Speaker 2: Fourteen? The high in the city. All right, Oh, he
22:45
Speaker 2: didn't say central changed. You had to be here yesterday. Next,
22:52
Speaker 2: Thank you Neva's and Augland hay Neva, good morning. Now
22:55
Speaker 2: you're talking to us about Taranaki and Woeman not going ahead?
22:59
Speaker 2: That's right.
22:59
Speaker 14: Blimey with a feather Now this came out yesterday. The
23:02
Speaker 14: Three Day Music Festival been a new Plymouth institution since
23:05
Speaker 14: two thousand and three, but announced it's taking a break
23:08
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty six. Jay Ish Baylor bella rather and
23:12
Speaker 14: that's the hospitality in zed Tartanaki branch president. He says, Look,
23:16
Speaker 14: this is devastating obviously because woemd andcarriages and visitors arom
23:21
Speaker 14: outside the region to come in and spend money boosting
23:24
Speaker 14: the economy there. I have never been to womed have you.
23:27
Speaker 2: No? No, Well, my auntie goes, she enjoys it.
23:30
Speaker 14: Yes, well, I've only heard good things because loads of
23:32
Speaker 14: people probably thinking why is she doing that for the
23:35
Speaker 14: Auckland stores.
23:35
Speaker 2: I do know I'm going to say that, do you
23:37
Speaker 2: have any idea where you are?
23:40
Speaker 5: Well?
23:40
Speaker 14: I was, you know, my tenuous link was lots of
23:42
Speaker 14: Aucklanders go to woman except for Neva Reddy Manu, but
23:47
Speaker 14: I was planning on going next year.
23:49
Speaker 2: Emphasis on tenuous. How's the weather?
23:53
Speaker 6: Well?
23:53
Speaker 2: Where at which weather are you doing today? Will it
23:55
Speaker 2: be Auckland stopt.
23:57
Speaker 14: Oh my goodness, gracious, well, it's a mids mix a
24:00
Speaker 14: bag here in Auckland. I'll do touch to make you
24:02
Speaker 14: tomorrow showers fine this morning, cloud in the afternoon, rain
24:06
Speaker 14: tonight sixteen the high in Auckland, but not Auckland, Central
24:10
Speaker 14: Auton Region.
24:11
Speaker 2: Aukland Region, Organ City, Neva. Thank you, good to see you.
24:14
Speaker 2: Eighteen minutes away from six year. On News Talk c B,
24:17
Speaker 2: we got the new numbers on migration out yesterday. We'll
24:20
Speaker 2: look at those of Paul Spooney before six this morning. Next.
24:22
Speaker 2: Mitch McCann is.
24:23
Speaker 1: Stateside International Correspondence with ends in Eye Insurance Peace of
24:28
Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand.
24:29
Speaker 2: Business News Talk's that B. It is called it to six.
24:32
Speaker 2: Now the US has gone after the Hootie. Sorry, the
24:35
Speaker 2: Israel has gone after the Hooties and Yemen. This comes
24:37
Speaker 2: after they went after Hamas and Kata. Mitch McCann is
24:40
Speaker 2: in the US for US this morning. Mitch, Good morning,
24:43
Speaker 2: Good morning, Ryan. How are you good. What is the
24:44
Speaker 2: White House making of all of this?
24:47
Speaker 15: Yeah, Donald Trump seems to be quite unhappy about what's
24:49
Speaker 15: been going on here. Yesterday he said, I'm not thrilled
24:52
Speaker 15: about the whole situation. It's not a good situation, he said.
24:55
Speaker 15: But I will say this. We want the hostages back,
24:58
Speaker 15: but we are not thrilled about the way that went down.
25:01
Speaker 15: The US administration has also said in a statement that
25:05
Speaker 15: the strikes in Doha yesterday do not advance US goals.
25:08
Speaker 15: And this is one of the rare times that Donald
25:10
Speaker 15: Trump has really broken with Israel's Prime Minister Benjaminetna, who
25:14
Speaker 15: despite what we've seen in recent months, particularly around the
25:17
Speaker 15: horrible situation in Gaza. What's interesting here is that Donald
25:21
Speaker 15: Trump will be aware that there has been growing frustration
25:25
Speaker 15: among the American public around what Israel's doing. There's been
25:28
Speaker 15: a recent study from Q Research that found fifty three
25:32
Speaker 15: percent of Americans now have an unfavorable view of Israel,
25:35
Speaker 15: which is up eleven percent since twenty twenty two.
25:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, tides turning it bit eight now been what's NACES
25:41
Speaker 2: saying about Mars?
25:43
Speaker 15: Yes, So NASA has a rover on Mars Ryan called Perseverance.
25:47
Speaker 15: It's been up there since twenty twenty one and it
25:49
Speaker 15: carries a drill to penetrate rocks and then test samples.
25:53
Speaker 15: Now it sees it in the last two hours, or
25:55
Speaker 15: it has revealed in the last two hours the rover
25:58
Speaker 15: uncovered rocks in a dry river channel that may hold
26:01
Speaker 15: potential signs of ancient microscopic life. On the rocks it found,
26:06
Speaker 15: there are these little specks called poppy seeds, and these
26:09
Speaker 15: patterns are exactly the same kind found when micro organisms
26:13
Speaker 15: feed on organic matter here on Earth. So scientists think
26:16
Speaker 15: the same thing may have happened on Mars in the past,
26:19
Speaker 15: but they can't confirm it until those samples get back
26:22
Speaker 15: down and they can test them properly.
26:25
Speaker 2: Interesting, what's really going on up there? Much? Thank you?
26:28
Speaker 2: It is stitching away from sex Bryan Bridge. More Kiwi
26:32
Speaker 2: citizens leaving the country than ever before our net migration
26:36
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand in the years of July twenty twenty five.
26:39
Speaker 2: Downs sharply from sixty three thousand the year before the
26:41
Speaker 2: drop comes as migrant arrivals fall twenty percent, departures obviously soaring.
26:46
Speaker 2: Paul Spoinley is Massi University sociologist of US This morning, Paul,
26:49
Speaker 2: Good morning.
26:51
Speaker 6: Good morning, Ryan.
26:52
Speaker 2: Surely it can't get much worse than this. Are we
26:54
Speaker 2: at rock bottom?
26:56
Speaker 6: I hope? So they are still trending down, but it
27:00
Speaker 6: looks as though the overall net loss is panning out
27:05
Speaker 6: at around thirteen thousand, so I'm hoping we have panned out,
27:10
Speaker 6: bottomed out.
27:11
Speaker 2: Where are they going?
27:15
Speaker 6: Half of them are going to Australia, the rest are
27:19
Speaker 6: going to other parts of the world. What's concerning is
27:23
Speaker 6: the very sudden drop. You've mentioned the drop from last year,
27:26
Speaker 6: but if we went back two years, the net loss
27:30
Speaker 6: has gone from one hundred and thirty five thousand to
27:33
Speaker 6: thirteen thousand, so a ninety percent drop. And what we
27:37
Speaker 6: are seeing more people who are leaving and who, let
27:42
Speaker 6: me rephrase this, there are older people leaving, so we're
27:46
Speaker 6: seeing We've always seen twenty somethings, but we've seen thirty
27:49
Speaker 6: somethings leaving, which suggests that they've been qualified and part
27:54
Speaker 6: of our workforce and then are leaving to go to
27:56
Speaker 6: another country.
27:57
Speaker 2: So that is a concern and being replaced by twenty
28:00
Speaker 2: somethings coming in by.
28:03
Speaker 6: Twenty something's coming in, yes. And the other thing, there's
28:07
Speaker 6: some news coming out of Australia that the New Zealand
28:10
Speaker 6: New Zealand citizens who are arriving there half of them
28:13
Speaker 6: were not born in New Zealand. Now in the past,
28:16
Speaker 6: I know it's a common myth that people thought they
28:19
Speaker 6: came to New Zealand, got residency and then moved to Australia.
28:22
Speaker 6: In fact that wasn't the pastern most of the people
28:25
Speaker 6: who were going to Australia when New Zealand's citizens who'd
28:28
Speaker 6: been born here. But we're seeing we're seeing more and
28:32
Speaker 6: more people who have migrated to New Zealand now on
28:35
Speaker 6: migrating to Australia.
28:37
Speaker 2: So we're becoming a gateway.
28:40
Speaker 6: We are becoming a gateway, yes we are. And of
28:42
Speaker 6: course Ryan just to the Australians have been actively recruiting
28:47
Speaker 6: in New Zealand for the last couple of years. They're
28:50
Speaker 6: offering very attractive replace packages to go to Australia. They're
28:58
Speaker 6: offering much better salaries, better pension conditions. And so we've
29:03
Speaker 6: got a factor in the fact that New Zealand's a
29:06
Speaker 6: recruiting ground now for Australia. We train Australian nurses or
29:10
Speaker 6: police officers.
29:13
Speaker 2: What does it say about a country when you've got
29:15
Speaker 2: twenty somethings coming in with not much experience, thirty somethings
29:19
Speaker 2: with experience leaving and an aging population.
29:23
Speaker 6: Yes, it's a bit of a recipe've for a disaster. Really,
29:27
Speaker 6: we've got to we've really got to relook at our
29:30
Speaker 6: population policy overall, Ryan, because I think there's the other
29:34
Speaker 6: thing that hadn't mentioned is our declining fertility. So we've
29:37
Speaker 6: got a bit of a population bomb going on. We've
29:40
Speaker 6: got major population changes occurring and immigration is part of that.
29:44
Speaker 6: So we've really got to think who do we want
29:47
Speaker 6: to come to New Zealand, what age, what skills? Do
29:50
Speaker 6: they bring? Money to invest? And you've heard about the
29:52
Speaker 6: Golden Visa recently, but at the moment that the migration
29:58
Speaker 6: story is not a particular lily positive one.
30:01
Speaker 2: Paul, always appreciate your analysis, even if it's pretty grimmin
30:05
Speaker 2: and disturbing. This morning, profess Professor Paul Spoonley Massi University
30:10
Speaker 2: sociologist knows this stuff. Nine away from six News Talks headb.
30:15
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
30:19
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love Where You Live.
30:22
Speaker 2: News Talks B seven to six News Talks said b
30:24
Speaker 2: there was a big fuss made about this documentary and
30:27
Speaker 2: the Matercoppa family and Tom Phillips in the last twenty
30:30
Speaker 2: four hours and Dame Julie Christie's behind the documentary and
30:34
Speaker 2: hasn't spoken. So I texted yesterday see what's going on.
30:37
Speaker 2: I can read you this response from Dame Julie Christie.
30:40
Speaker 2: We have never asked to shoot anything with the children.
30:44
Speaker 2: We have been with the same small group of detectives
30:47
Speaker 2: only for the past seven months. We have not seen
30:50
Speaker 2: the children at all. We are bide by strict police
30:53
Speaker 2: rules at all times. News Talks head b Ryan from
30:57
Speaker 2: the studio, Mike, good morning, Hey. Loads of people text
31:00
Speaker 2: thing and about their kids. My son's moving to Australia
31:02
Speaker 2: next Friday. He's getting a thirty percent pay rise. He's
31:05
Speaker 2: a mechanic. But Ryan, both my boys late twenties, both
31:08
Speaker 2: with degrees, gone to the UK, says Kate beck Gram
31:12
Speaker 2: It's a right of passage.
31:13
Speaker 10: I've got five children and forty percent of them currently
31:17
Speaker 10: are overseas.
31:18
Speaker 2: Yep, and well they come back.
31:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a good question. We think about that quite often.
31:22
Speaker 10: My guess would be, no, if one came back, I
31:26
Speaker 10: wouldn't be shocked. If one came back, I would be
31:28
Speaker 10: And so there's probably another one potentially going to go overseas.
31:32
Speaker 10: She's just a bit young at the moment. So potentially
31:33
Speaker 10: have sixty percent of be kids overseas, and we saw
31:36
Speaker 10: that coming years ago. That's it's a right passage thing
31:39
Speaker 10: as opposed to what you're talking about, which I think
31:41
Speaker 10: is slightly different, which is a I hate New Zealand.
31:44
Speaker 10: There is no future for me, so I'm bailing. So
31:46
Speaker 10: so the ones that we've got overseas, we're going anyway,
31:48
Speaker 10: like so many young people go. But what they've discovered
31:52
Speaker 10: is the world is a much more interesting place than
31:54
Speaker 10: it is in New Zealand. Yeah, and unless they necessarily
31:57
Speaker 10: get married and want to have kids and bring you in,
31:59
Speaker 10: that's where where the return comes in.
32:01
Speaker 2: Yes, not, well, normally it does. But then a number
32:04
Speaker 2: of my friends. I've got a girlfriend of mine who's
32:06
Speaker 2: in London who has had a baby over there, and
32:10
Speaker 2: it's like and she's not coming home ever.
32:11
Speaker 10: Having said that, I was talking to an Avy yesterday.
32:13
Speaker 10: He spends half his year in London, and he loves London,
32:18
Speaker 10: and he speaks what's happened to Britain, particularly in the
32:22
Speaker 10: last year is a disaster. We think we've got problems
32:24
Speaker 10: here for all of this, Let's go find somewhere else.
32:26
Speaker 10: I mean Australia if you're following Australia, and one of
32:29
Speaker 10: our daughters was in Australian till recently, until she moved
32:31
Speaker 10: to London. Australia's falling apart of the seams, and you know,
32:34
Speaker 10: if you want to find problems in Australia, there's huge
32:36
Speaker 10: problems in Australia in terms of the economy. I mean
32:38
Speaker 10: three a half thousand people laid off the ams in
32:40
Speaker 10: the other day.
32:41
Speaker 2: And if I was in as you know, sunning my
32:43
Speaker 2: buns on the Gold Coast recently, yes, and they have
32:47
Speaker 2: camps there of homeless people, much of whom are New
32:50
Speaker 2: Zealanders who cannot afford a one way flight back to
32:54
Speaker 2: this country. People.
32:55
Speaker 10: I think I've thought about this a lot, in the
32:57
Speaker 10: sense that there's a vibe in this country. We're over
33:01
Speaker 10: the country for a variety of reasons. But I don't
33:04
Speaker 10: know that many people who leave and go to places
33:07
Speaker 10: like Australia think it through because the circumstance, you know,
33:09
Speaker 10: for all of your and my son's got thirty perces.
33:12
Speaker 10: But yeah, sure, but your average house price in Sydney's
33:14
Speaker 10: one point seven billion dollars. You know, you're not. No
33:16
Speaker 10: pay rise in the world covers that gap, and so
33:20
Speaker 10: so I think it's more about a little bit of
33:22
Speaker 10: sunshine for X beer.
33:24
Speaker 2: And well, it depends where you go, right, understand. And
