• 0:25
  Speaker 3: a big slide over the weekend. How hard is it
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: going to be to get the mala back to its prime.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: We'll have the local MP in just moments and oil
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: is firmly over one hundred dollars a barrel. How debilitating
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: will that be for business and investment going forward? Business
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: correspondent Vicky Price and ten we'll have corresponden from right
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: around New Zealand, Gavin Gray from the UK and you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: can have your say. The text number is ninety two
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: ninety two. It is seven after five.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: The agenda.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Well, it's Monday, the twenty seventh of July and a
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: massive manhunters underway in Germany after what police believe was
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: in as armist terror attack at Berlin Pride.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: We know that the suspect is on the run currently
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: using a lot of policeman powers in Berlin and in
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: care federally across the country, not just in Berlin, at
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: train stations, airports and borders.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: So one woman was killed, at least twenty nine people
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: were injured after the van plowed into the crowd and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: then the suspect allegedly went on a stabbing rampage.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: They were celebrating diversity in Berlin, our openness to the world, freedom.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Berlin was showing its most beautiful and diverse face up
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: until twenty four.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Hours ago, and the suspect, Abdul Balleu was already known
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to police. Now to the UK and the King of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the North, Andy Burnham says he would be prepared to
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: call out Donald Trump to defeat in Britain's national interest
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: before anything else.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I can't at any point say that I won't take
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: a different opinion from him. That I will need to
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: voice a different opinion that is right for Britain, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I will. I will do that. My strength always is
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: in remaining close to people close to the public.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the Defense Secretary of fell about the name of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Where's Streeting. So his first loyalty is to the country
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and he has absolutely no regrets about helping to oust
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Kia Stammer colony Burnham.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Count on your unconditional loyalty.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: He can but as Andy said himself, this is the
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: last chance. We can't do this again. We've got to
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: get this right. I believe he will. I think in
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: his first days he's shown that his instincts and priorities
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: align with those of the people. And what you're going
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: to see in the next week is a leader who
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: is someone who runs towards the big issues facing the
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: country and will confront them rather than put them in
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: the two difficult bots.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So you see the Tories say that that fella stack
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the knife into Stammer and they're now goading Burnham to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: call an early election. That Andy Burnham's ruled out that idea.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He says people don't want it. It's nine after five.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Curatt first Andrew Dickens on early edition with Spark for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: business technology that keeps business moving news talks'd.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Be hope your warm and dry. Finally winter arrived in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the North. It's been a surreal winter, hasn't it so dry?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: But yes, yesterday in the North a day of cold
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and continual rain, and it saw many North Islanders muttering
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: from beneath their scarves and overcoats, complaining about the winter.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But I like the winter. It's something to celebrate. Look,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the snow finally fell and the tourism sector built on
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: snow had something to cheer about, particularly Rupe who Meanwhile,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I spared a thought for the boys from Spurs. The
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: football team who left Europe sweltering in a heat wave
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and then forty eight hours later found themselves battling in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: rain and wind against the best football side in Australasia
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: must have been a shock. Now by all metrics, this
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: one off festival game was a success. Pretty good football
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in a stadium with the biggest football crowd for a
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: men's game in history in this country. Just to tick
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: over forty thousand people watch that game at Eden Park,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and yet even then, when you looked at it from above,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the park look pretty empty, and social media was full
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: of visiting Cantabrians sneering at Eden Park's self appointed name
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of New Zealand's national stadium. Mainly, it seemed because it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a roof and it's not in the center
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of town. Other than that, it's quite big. But remember,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: yes it is big. There were fifteen thousand more spectators
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: at that football game than can ever fit in christ
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Church's spiffy new stadium, and the stadium can easily fit
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: another fifteen thousand more, as we saw in last week's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: IRIS tests. And remember, when it's full, it is quite
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the spectacle. So sure, come on. The park is not perfect,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: but it's still far and away the best we've got,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and the sooner we fix its remaining problems, the better
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: it will be.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: In fact, Andrew dickens Head is on holiday. Ryan's doing drive.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I'm doing early edition for the next couple of weeks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So after that game, people started muttering about the Waterfront stadium.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: They always do, but these days this is a three
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to four billion dollar idea at a time, and apparently
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we can't afford the nice to haves, So why keep
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: talking about the waterfront stadium? It will never happen. But remarkably,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: in this time of needs to have it instead of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: nice to haves, National believes that businesses can casually add
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: another month of parental leave onto the twenty six They
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: already provide the cost of them is finding the cover. Now,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: here's my question for you today is thirty weeks of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: paid parental leave a nice to have or a need
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to have? Is it something that businesses will struggle to afford?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And we're going to ask Business Cangory about that just
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: before six. But the heartbreaking news over the weekend is
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: that Mount Monganui is still a slurry pit and big
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: slips continue to fall and the business area at the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: end of the mountains continuing to struggle. So what's happening
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: with that mountain? Will it ever be fixed? We'll talk
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to the local MP next. It's twelve after five.

  Speaker 1: technology that keeps business moving. News Talks at b Well.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: The Tour de France is currently doing. It's a celebratory
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: lapse of Paris. They're climbing up mom Matra as well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: which makes those laps even more exciting. It looks incredible
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And of course this is Pergatcha having his victory lab.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He's won the thing by more than six minutes. The
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: boy is a freak. He's amazing. His cadence is fast.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: He can find an extra five percent of speed just
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: like that. He really is super dominant. So more on
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that with Andrew and Ortison at five point thirty. So
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to mal mong Aniui right now and the Manga their
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: maul More landslides reactivated over the course of the weekend.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: What we can see, it's very weird. It's liquefied and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: obviously it's not finis that's taken down, some debris, some trees.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: There's folders up there that are in quite precarious positions.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the alert level has been raised, a key road
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: has been closed, and questions and now being asked about
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: when or in fact actually if the mount will ever
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: fully reopen to the public. We're joined now by the
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Bay of Plenty mp John rather for hither Tom morning,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Andrew Gussing for everybody.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That was a shock, Yeah, really really really sad for
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: our local community here in Mount Winganuly and the wider
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Bay of Plenty. Mount Wanganui is a massive store wart
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in part of our community. And seeing the reactivation of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the main landslide that sadly killed six people on the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: twenty second of January is really gussing for us, but
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I'm pleased with the response the council gave over the weekend.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Are going to be doing some assessments and inspections, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we're going to continue to press on to reopen the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: mount safely in the future.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: This is a big slip. It wasn't wildly wet, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: it was still a big slips. Big is the initial slip.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So does this prove that the mountain will possibly never
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: be safe to reopen?
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: So the regression extends approximately twenty meters and they had
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a runout of approximately one hundred meters. It doesn't quite
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: go as far as the original runout. But as you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: played in your story before, the material is mobile land fluid.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: There is always a risk that Mount Wangenui may not
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: have the same stability that potentially it had previously prior
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to the landslides on the twenty second of January. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I trust the experts that are doing the phenomenal work
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: on there at the moment, who've been working on the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: summit track and working on other parts of Mountmongeru as well,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: to get it safely reopened in the future.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: So this happened again at the holiday park. The good news,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: if there is any good news, is that the rest
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: of the path that goes all the way around the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: mountain stayed pretty stable. Is this possible to have that
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: open but the holiday park possibly as a rite off.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a number of hypotheticals at play. The Council
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: of working through those at the moment. But the track
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that they have managed to restore that goes to the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: summit and that wasn't impacted by these events, You're right,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it is very targeted to that one slip area that
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: was the one main landslide area that was part of
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the holiday campground. So yeah, there are options for what
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the future may look like and I'm sure the council
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: will be considering those.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: And the big impact on business, of course, is actually
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: in the mount itself, where we've got that little entertainment
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and hospital area where there are so many cafes and
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: so many businesses and so many people employed there, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: they are really hurting. What's their prospects.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a really challenging six months for the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: local businesses at the base of Mount Monganuy and the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: surrounding areas. If I could send a clear message to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: anybody listening today, I want to tell them Mount Monganuy itself.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: The mountain may be closed, but the Mount Longonuy area
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and main street and shop well and truly opened, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we would love people to come down to our community,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: support our local economy. These businesses are doing it really tough.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Any support people can give to our local cafes, restaurants
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: or local businesses in the area, we really do appreciate
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: any support for them. They founding it really challenging. Winter
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: is generally a quiet season for them anyway, let alone
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: with the mountain being closed. So we are really working
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: together as a community to try and get through this
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and to try and see the other side.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: All right, Tom, thank you so much for your time.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Pass on our regards to those business owners who are suffering.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: That is Tom Rutherford, who is the Bay of plenty
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Mp and this is New Stork CEMP. So oil is
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: now at one hundred dollars a barrel, and I think
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: it's going to stay there for a while. It all
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: depends on the piece. How are we with the peace
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East? With us a little bit of
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a hope the United States supports attack on Iran for
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: a second day. Trump is weighing up his options. By
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the way, he's been told by his military chiefs that
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: they don't have enough bombs. They have dwindling munition stock piles,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: so they can't at even if they wanted to to run,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: said on Sunday, it would pause what it calls its
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: retaliatory attacks. They only attack and retaliation. So interesting, maybe
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: we might have peace purely because the States ran out
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: of bonds. By the way, Netanyahu expected to visit the
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: White House on Tuesday. So with oil at one hundred
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: bucks a barrel, what does that mean for business and investment?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Vicki Prices. Next, it is nineteen after.

  Speaker 1: Five The Early Edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

  Speaker 1: by News Talks at Me the news you need this
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: morning and the in depth Analysis Early Edition with Andrew
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Dickens and Spark for Business Technology that keeps business moving.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: News Talks It bad.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Morning to you. I'm here for a fortnight head this
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: on holiday. Ryan's doing drive. Let's talk business, Vicki Prices
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: at Business Correspondent. Hello, Vicki, Hi, good morning. Okay, we
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: have oil above one hundred dollars a barrel again, has
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: been for a week now, so this is a chilling
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: effect on business and investment.
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: Well, yes, I'm afraid so. And if you look at
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: the interest rates that the governments all across the globe
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: have to pay, I mean, global bond yields have gone
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: up as well. They are in a number of places
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: above five percent. Certainly that is the case in the UK,
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: and that of course means that even servicing debt has
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: become very expensive, and so it's not just businesses, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: it's also limiting quite significantly the type of help which
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: governments can give given the renewal of this crisis which
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: doesn't seem to be going away.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: You mentioned interest rates. Actually the European Central Bank has
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: left the interest rates unchanged, but they had a bit
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: of a hawkish tone.
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: Well yes, I mean they've raised rates to two point
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: two five percent, and now remember from quite a low base.
• 12:42
  Speaker 9: So the interesting thing about Europe is that they have seen,
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: in fact inflation come down in the last month. So
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: if you look at June, it was below where it
• 12:50
  Speaker 9: was in May, so we're talking about two point eight percent.
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: It was a bit of a surprise, but of course
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: we had seen a drop in oid prices, petrol prices
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: and some of the travel costs more generally had gone down,
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: which was quite positive for the consumer. But what they're
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: now saying is that looking at what's going on in
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: the sort of geo political environment and oil prices indeed,
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: as we just discussed going up again and no end
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: in sight, they will be watching out for what the
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: impact might be in the coming months, and the meeting
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: next month might indeed see an increase again. Now, just
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: to point out that interest rate isn't particularly high, so
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: businesses are still able to do reasonably well, assuming they
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: were able to for other reasons, you know, carry on producing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: But so it's reasonably been nigh. It's much more worrying
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: for places like the UK. We're having the Bank of
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: England meeting this week and they are not going to
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: raise rates probably, but I think they themselves are going
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: to be watched for the markets now think that there
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: will be an increase in the coming months.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: There's a lot there's a lot wrong with the UK,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and I talk more about that in just a few
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: moments time. But the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham has
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: given some sweetness for the cost of living, so a
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: can he afford it be? What will do for the
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: UK economy and is this just pure politics or not.
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: Well, you could right to raise that because of course
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: the reason why interest rates matter is they could undo
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: all the efforts that are being made now to do
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: something about the cost of living. So what Andy Burnham
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: has done in his first week, actually in the first
• 14:21
  Speaker 9: few days, I mean he's only been Prime Minister since
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: last Monday, he has given a few sweetness So one
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: of those is cappying bus fares across the country to
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: just two pounds per ride. Actually in London they're even cheaper,
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: have been cheaper for ages. So whether it's going to
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: make a huge difference, that's questionable, but at least it
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: sounds good. He's also reduced or taken away, in fact
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: vat on electricity for household bills five percent, so that
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: should bring prices down a little bit. It's not huge
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: at all, a little bit like in fact the bus
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: fair cut, but the optics is good really, so people
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: are quite happy seeing this happen. And he's also looking
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: at cutting costs to businesses, looking at business rates, the
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: rates that firms pay which sell things in the high street,
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: pubs and particularly music venues. So he's trying to say,
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: you know, we inject if you like a feel good factor.
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: But I'm afraid it's you rightly suggest that the fiscal
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: issues are going to be very significant and with all
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: prices going up who knows.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: And debt at ninety five percent of GDP, so you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: it's not like you've got a lot of money. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I thank you for your time today. That is VICKI price.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: That is five twenty six new schoolsp I'm entre Dickens
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: it is five twenty seven.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: If you think we're bad, the UK is far worse.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: This weekend, the Independent published a piece on UK farmers,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: warning that food shortages are just ten days away for
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the UK, and there are signs that suggest they've already arrived.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It's a food crisis. Experts say that Britain's food insecurity
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: needs to be treated as a growing national emergency. They
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: don't have enough food. Global conflict combined with climate change
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: are affecting their supply chains. So these days Britain produces
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: about sixty percent of its food. That's compared to eighty
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: percent back in the eighties. The shortfall is met by imports,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: principally from the EU, but that's been affected by Brexit
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and the fuel crisis for everywhere else. They are particularly
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: vulnerable when it comes to fruit and season with vegetables.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Already there are shortages, they're getting worse, and the prices
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: are climbing. Now. Compare that with us. New Zealand, on
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the other hand, is considered to have one of the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: most secure food supplies in the world. We make more
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: than we eat. We currently grow enough food to feed
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: forty million people. We have five point five million, So
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: even in a major global crisis, New Zealand would remain
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: as one of the best place countries to feed its
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: own population. And I think that's quite important. And while
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: we might not export oil or mobile phones or plastic
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: necknacks or whatever, the one thing that every single person
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: in the world needs is food, and in that we
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: are resilient and food therefore is a good product to
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: be making. But we're entering an election again and once
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: again our food manuift actors, our farmers are going to
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: be urged by the environmentalist. In fact, the Greens did
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: it over the weekend. They're going to be told to
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: cut production to meet climate change targets, when in fact
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the world will be begging us to make more food.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: The greenies are worried about the globe, But the thing
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the globe needs most of all is food and water. Yes,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the climate might be a thing, but they need to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: eat and drink. And I think that is a very
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: important thing to remember. And I wonder also if New
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Zealand first might be better advised to put a billion
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: into making our farms efficient and clean rather than some
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: sort of survey on whether we have any mythical oil
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: or gas. Ninety two ninety two is the text number
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: on the way. We've still got Gavin Gray out of
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the UK. As fires burning the Gerond around Bordeaux. Apparently
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: the size is the size of the city of Paris. Hello,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: that's that fire? And can we afford paypare rentally?

  Speaker 1: The Early Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by

  Speaker 1: News Talks of Me Andrew Dickens on Early Edition with

  Speaker 1: Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving US talks.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Bet we're the one into the program, my manager Dickens
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: from here for a fortnight because Heather and Barry have
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: gone on holiday and so Ryan's going to do the drive,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: so I'll do Early Edition. I fail to feel at
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: all as though food production or farmers need to be
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: told to cut their production. I understand it might be
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a little bit dirty, and I can. I think we
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: should help them get it as clean as possible, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: don't cut the food. We need the food, we need
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the water. The world needs the food, and we need
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: the water. And yet the Greens always say cut production.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I've got a text through as well from someone who
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: says the Opportunity Party is also advocating a land tax,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: which would harm the farmers as well as the Green
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Party's policies. Farmers should, as we've always be celebrated as
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: our very important food producers, while our national is proposing
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to extend pay parental leave to thirty weeks from the
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: current twenty six. Now this is going to cost one
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen million dollars because the government pays the wages.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I think the maximums eight hundred and fifty dollars, But
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that business doesn't It doesn't cost business.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: And the question I have for you can they absorb
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the impact of the extra month of pay parental leave
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: and is this the right governmental spending this one hundred
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and nineteen million dollars. Last week we heard that if
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Farmac got two hundred and fifty million more than all
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the medicines we need would be funded, and then thousands
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: would not die because of budget limitations because the drugs
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: would be here. Would the two hundred and fifty million
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: be a better spend than one hundred and nineteen million
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: on an extra month of pay parental leave when we
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: already give people a pay parental leave for six months?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: What do you think? What would you rather the government
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: spend money on? The text number is ninety two ninety two.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: It is twenty two to six news talk z'd be
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the country we go and to Otago and Dunedin callen
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: pract a good morning to you morning Andrew. So things
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: are changing for Freedom Campus in Wernaca.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, look they are.
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: It's always a hot topic, this one around. Not just
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: one kep at Central Otago. The Lake's district councils asking
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: for public feedback now on three proposed changes to its
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: by law. These are eight months after these changes came
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: into force. So it includes the permanent or permanently banning
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: camping at the Allen B Place car Park, a summer
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: ban at Beacon Point Road, and adding more spaces at
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: the Waner Correct Creation Center, a position was launched on
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: this last year, it called for Beacon Point to be
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: taken off the list of camping sites altogether. The mayor there,
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: John Glover, says these rules are working well overall, but
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: the councils listen to residents concerns around safety and cleanliness,
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: and more controls may now be needed.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Beacon Point is still a little bit out there
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: in the wilderness, and I can see that. How's your
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: weather fine?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Frosty?
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: Start here minus two at our airport, so the roads
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: will be icy. Are the height today? Thirteen?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Good stuff and I thank you to Christus we go.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Claire Sherwood, good morning to you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: Good morning.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I remember the day when I drove down Bernardo's Street
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: and for the very first time I saw the Great
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Christ Church Catholic Cathedral, and I had no idea it
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: existed that I went goodness met. Everyone talks about the
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Anglican one in the square, but this one is even
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: more beautiful. So it broke my heart when it was destroyed,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: but now there are plans for a new one.
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: I agree.
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: It is such a beautiful building and it was sad
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: to see it demolished post quake. But the Catholic diocese
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: yesterday announced plans to rebuild an eighty million dollar cathedral
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: back on that Barbados Street site, replacing the one that
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: was destroyed after the quakes. Insurance payouts as well as
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: some sales of assets will cover more than half of
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: the cost. There is nineteen million dollars already fundraised as well.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: Bishop Michael Gelan says construction can begin once another eight
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: million is secure. It He says, so many people speak
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: about previous generations donating for the old cathedral to be built,
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: and he's now calling on the community now to do
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: the same. Geeland says he's humbled by the support so
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: far and is now encouraging Catholics to give what they can.
• 22:04
  Speaker 11: It's been reported the diocese won't be looking for government
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: funding for this. That's unlike the City Council, which of
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: course is wanting the government to match a fifteen million
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: dollar boost for the Central christ Church Cathedral for the
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: Anglican Church.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, how cold is it in Canterbury today?
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: So cold here, very heavy frost. It will eventually clear
• 22:23
  Speaker 11: to fine and reach eleven degrees, but right now minus.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Four and I thank you for your time. Now, Max
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: told joins us from Wellington, going to you Max, good morning.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: So the guy runs the backbench is running for parliament
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: for New Zealand First.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: Now that's right. This is the venue, of course, opposite
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: the beehive with those giant puppets of politicians on the walls,
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: alahs spitting image. The sixty year old has been running
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: it forever. Now he's running for New Zealand First. According
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: to him, the lanyard class is destroying Wellington. A little
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: ironic since that's his main client. Tele Society is to upright,
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: to woke, to offended. Perhaps he told us he has
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: tried to run for National before, but that First continues
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: its wide reaching recruiting campaign. I'm all about breaking up
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: the power companies, he says, breaking up the banks, the supermarkets,
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: even extending it to the insurance monopoly. He's always been
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: incredibly outspoken, including with us. He's been serving politicians for
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: decades and now I imagine Alistair Boyce will be dishing out
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: the insults.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I'm offended at him calling me offender, but there we go.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: How's willing since weather.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, frosty here as well to start very cold, cloudy
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: periods this morning, clearing to find this afternoon ten Neva.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Reritty Mana joined us from walk on Heella Neva, good morning.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: So Orkin's got tougher liquor laws. What have they done?
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: Yes, so this is its first new report. The Council's
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: policy came into force in twenty twenty four. We will
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: remember that this was introducing measures including tough licensing rules
• 23:45
  Speaker 13: in shorter trading hours of businesses selling alcohol. So this
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: first report on the changes. It shows and tells us
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: that police in the health data find that there were
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: seven percent fewer reported alcohol harm related incidents last year
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: obviously compared the to twenty twenty four. And Auckland Councils
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: senior policy manager that's been Brooks. He says, this is
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: very very encouraging, very happy to see this, to see
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: less alcohol related hospital admission, So pretty good for a
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: first reports.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Poor old Auckland got a little bit cold yesterday and
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: started moaning how are they going to be today again?
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: Another cold one? Yes, you're quite right, are high of
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: thirteen We've got fine weather morning frosts, frosts for Auckland,
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: which is as you know, unheardle.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I know if you can hear that sound of groaning,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that is Aucklanders who have say the temperature right now
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: in Aucklander's five degrees and Orchanders can't cope.
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: And especially when clear came on and she said, what
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: was it minus four? I thought, yes, no spear of thought.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I thank you. Never read amount it it is seventeen
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: to six. Meanwhile, in the UK, and of course right
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: across France is really hot. This huge fires. Are going
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: to talk to Gavin Gray about the fire. The fire
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: around Bordeaux is the size of the city of Paris.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: In fact, no sorry, it's four times the size of
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: the city of Paris and fire alone. So we'll talk
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: to Gavin about that in a moment. But whether it's
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: so hot in the northern the hemisphere, men are putting
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: their best leaks forward and they're now wearing shorts. The
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: trend is gaining acceptance of survey shows that sixty eight
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: percent of UK workers now say wearing shorts to the
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: office is acceptable. That is double the figure from twenty sixteen.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Not everyone's thrilled. In Japan, women have accused male colleagues
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: of a thing called sunaharta, that is leg hair harassment.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: That's their way of saying they don't want to have
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: to look at your hairy legs. And the fashion experts
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: have waited it as well, and so if you're wearing
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: shorts to work, make sure it's a longer cut. They say.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Bermuda's is the way to go. Gavin Gray is next.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: It is sixteen to.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Six International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance, Peace of
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand Business.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Davin Gray out of the UK. You're talking about Europe.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Good morning to you, Hi there, Andrew.
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: Yep, I'm afraid the wildfires in Europe are really really
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: spreading fast. More than a third of a million people
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: have now been evacuated in France and Spain different fires,
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: but lots of wildfires has been sprung up and the
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: winds are quite strong, so they are fanning the flames.
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: And Andrew, it has now reached the outskirts of the
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: city of Bordeaux, famous for its wine.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 26:16
  Speaker 12: Here the flames are said to be roughly fifteen kilometers
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: from the outskirts. There is talk potentially of a city
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: wide evacuation, though at the moment the authorities are playing
• 26:27
  Speaker 12: that down, and France has lost about ninety eight thousand
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: hectors at this really really hot, strong summer that we're
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: they're having. Meanwhile, into Spain, seventy seven thousand hectors have
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: been destroyed as well. Those are the two worst countries
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: affected at the moment. But the final stage of the
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: Tour de France, which was taking place today Paris Sunday,
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: that was shortened because of security forces being redeployed for
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: the fire fighting effort and as you can imagine, many
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: many concerned people about returning to their home.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Of course, that's affecting major cities. Madrid is being threatened,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Bordeaux is now being threatened. As I've mentioned, the fires
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: of four times the size of Paris and the jirand
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it's just huge and another heat waivers on its way. Meanwhile,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: the Berlin Pride event, I understand the guy who drove
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: the car through and then went stebbing has actually been
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: caught and killed. So what can you tell us about
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: the attach on the Berlin Pride event.
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: Yes, this update about the main suspect being killed has
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: just come out in the last quarter of an hour,
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: and now police confirming that the suspect in the Berlin
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: attack is dead. So during Berlin Pride, an event which
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: attracts supporters of LGBTQ plus from around Europe. Suddenly, at
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: roughly ten pm, as the Pride March and Pride event
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: was in its swing, a white car sort of hybrid
• 27:54
  Speaker 12: van drove in to supporters and those attending the event.
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: And then it was said at least one person got
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: out of the van and began stabbing people. Now one
• 28:03
  Speaker 12: person died. There were sixteen said to be injured, including
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: three with very very serious injuries. Now we were told
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: that they man. They put out a picture of a
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: man that they wanted to speak. We now know that
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: he is a twenty one year old German citizen but
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: of Lebanese background. He was known to the police. He
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: tried to join Islamic State group and police say they
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: are treating this now as a Islamist terror attack. So
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: they said they killed the man because he rushed towards
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: them with a knife. They had been pursuing him in
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: a huge manhunt now for roughly about set of fifteen hours.
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: And I'm afraid the scenes of Berlin very very reminiscent
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: to others where a car or a vehicle has been
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: used as a weapon of attack. And again Germany looking
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: at I'm afraid all of the generosity had showed when
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: a million people were allowed into the country, many undocumented migrants.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: All right, Kevin Gray out of the UK and talking
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: about Europe. Thank you so much. It is ten to
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: six news Talk Zidby. So we had a bit more
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: policy come out from the National Party yesterday and they're
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: promising now to extend paid parental leave from twenty six
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: to thirty weeks if re elected.
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: National give parents the option to take all or some
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: of their paid parental leave at the same time. So
• 29:24
  Speaker 14: instead of just one parent taking thirty weeks, both parents
• 29:27
  Speaker 14: could take paid leave together for fifteen weeks.
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: So the policy will cost the government about one hundred
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: and nineteen million dollars a year because they pay the salaries.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: But of course businesses have to pay for the covet
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: don't they. By the way I put the question out there,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: would you rather one hundred and nineteen million dollars was
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: spent on an extra four weeks of paid parental leave
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: or FARMAC spending? And everyone's saying farm mac right now,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: So how will this affect business? Lee and Watson is
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the chief executive officer at Business Cannabury Community.
• 29:53
  Speaker 15: Again, good morning, Andrew.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: How do they feel about it? Are they on board?
• 29:58
  Speaker 15: Oh? Look, I think by al this won't have a
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: significant impact on business. I mean it is pay for
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: by the government in general, given the entitlement for leaders
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: twelve months, most people tend to take six to twelve
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: months of leave anyway, So I think this is a
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: useful policy, certainly for those people you know who are
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: about to have children. And I love the fact that
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: it can be shared across, you know, both the two partners.
• 30:25
  Speaker 15: I think that's really helpful. But of course, you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 15: for small businesses, anyone away from the office does have
• 30:31
  Speaker 15: an impact, but they're going to be away anyway, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 15: this is just means that they potentially might be away
• 30:35
  Speaker 15: a little longer.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But of course then you have to find cover,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and that's going to be a business cost as well.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: And they've already got half a year. Is it going
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: to be hard for businesses to find the cover to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: afford the cover?
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: Look?
• 30:47
  Speaker 15: In general, you know, for a small business to have
• 30:50
  Speaker 15: one person away, they would probably most likely replace them anyway.
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: So most small businesses would actually be a ready paying
• 30:57
  Speaker 15: for some additional cover if they do have some one
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: on maternity leave and in some respects, actually getting someone
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: for slightly longer is possibly slightly easier. You know, the
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: shorter amount of time to get someone in for a
• 31:08
  Speaker 15: fixed term role can be quite challenging. So yes, I
• 31:11
  Speaker 15: mean ongoing, getting people up to speed, getting people trained
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: to come on board, to replace someone for a period
• 31:17
  Speaker 15: of six months can be a little challenging. But look,
• 31:20
  Speaker 15: this is happening now anyway. This is more about actually
• 31:22
  Speaker 15: supporting those people that are actually on leave.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Just geral question though, when hiring do businesses consider where
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the parental leave is forthcoming? This is something they take
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: into consideration. And could this work against people planning to
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: be parents?
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: Oh, look, I don't think so. I mean I would
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: hate to think that in this day and age, people
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: are making no sorts of decisions. You know the factors.
• 31:48
  Speaker 15: You know, the population continues to grow and we need
• 31:50
  Speaker 15: to continue to grow and so people will continue to
• 31:53
  Speaker 15: have children. So I would hate to think that businesses
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: make those calls.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Very good stuff, Leam Watson, I thank you so much
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: for your time. Is Canterbury CEO. It is an extra
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: month that there is extra cover and we don't have
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of governmental money and would you rather as
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: the question I asked, would you rather have that money
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: spent on farmac that saves lives or spent on paper
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: rental leave When people choose to be parents, but they
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: don't choose to have diseases and conditions that can kill them.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: It is seven to six.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: News and Views you trust to start your day. It's
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: early Ediship with Andrew Dickens and Spark for business Technology
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that keeps business moving US talks.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: That'd be by the way if you've just woken up.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: McLaren won the Hungry Grand Prix for Step and Grab second,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: so he's Backley and Lawson made up for a disappointing
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: quality quality. He came in eighth. He overtook his teammate
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: twice with a better strategy as well, so he'll be happy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: So with his team, he's now the best of the
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: rest of the highest place driver outside the top four teams.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Mike Hosking joins us this morning.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Good morning. I'm glad you made that point, because that's
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: that's the story. What I worry about, though, is he
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: in coming eighth and for all I know it's applicable
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: to seventh and sixth as well. He was over a
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: lap down.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, he was, so was everybody. Everybody from nine down
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: was a lap down.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: It's like that. That's not right, is it. And by
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: the time you get back to Aston and Cadillac, who
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: the whole the gap in the field amazing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Cadillac must be looking at this, I mean, butt Us
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: didn't even finish. You must be looking at the saying
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: we've spent an awful lot of money to be like
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: ten laps down.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: It'd be different if you were moving, you know, if
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: you could go like each race you're a little bit
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: better than you were, But it doesn't appear to be
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: the case. And the other one is Williams. Of course,
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: who Carlos over the weekend, so he's going to take
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: the summer or the break they're about to go and
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: to work out who's going to be driving for next year.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: And he's got a contract for next year with Williams,
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: so he's clearly not happy anyway. Prime Minister this morning,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Nichola Willis this morning.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised by the paper and to leave coming out
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: of nowhere so so convenient out to Katie from.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess it strikes me as one of
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: those things that it doesn't cost that much one hundred
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: and nineteen. It's not that big a policy. It doesn't
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: affect that many people. It's one of those things if
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: you really wanted to do it, you would have done it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Doesn't know what that's what everyone's saying. They could have
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: done this through done any time.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean so it goes, but anyway we go.
• 34:14
