• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I like Zelenski, but you know, I also have a
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: good relationship with Pulton. He then says to Zelensky, it

  Speaker 3: takes two to tango. When I think.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: We're going to get it resolved very quickly, it work.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I really think we're going to get its.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, it takes two to tango.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: You know who started the tang going though. That's the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: issue right eight after five on.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Bids and a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: playing Store Youth Talk.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Set B nine nine two is the number to text.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We'll deal with inned and later because that was a
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: whopper of a protest in the Deep South over the weekend.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a second, but just for
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: this morning. This is new in the all this morning.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: So health insurance have you got it? Nine two nine two?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Why do you have it? Is it not a huge
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: vote of no confidence in our public health system? So
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: they've just announced Southern Cross Health Insurance is paid close
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to one point five billion dollars in claims. That's an
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: equal to six million dollars every business day. The cost
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of claims up fifteen percent, and also premiums are going up.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And you'll be feeling that I have health insurance because
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it was free at my last job because they were Americans,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and you know the Yanks like to do that, give
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you free health insurance because their systems is quite crap.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So I had and I've now carried it over and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: boy is it expensive. But everybody wants it because no
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: one trusts the public health system, do they, And these
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: numbers kind of support that. So the reasons for a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: fifteen percent increase in the cost of claims, according to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Southern Cross, is not only the cost of procedures and stuff,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but it's more members claiming for more stuff. Is this
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It's not a vote of no confidence in our public
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: health system. Nine two nine two is the number to
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: text the bad news. If you do have private health insurance,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they say you can expect to rise in your premiums
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to counter the increase in the cost of claims.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Ran Bridge sure.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: After five. So we are going to talk to our
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: expert in the Middle East in just a few moments,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: doctor Leon Goldsmith. We've had him on the show before.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: What does Iran do next? Israel, the IDEF is now
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: hitting Yemen the Hooti rebels, because Iran has lots of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: proxy militants in the area. Right, They're obviously got his
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Billow and Lebanon, They've got some in Syria, they got
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: someone Iraq, and then they've got the Hoogies in Yemen.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And so now Israel's going after the Hooties in Yemen.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: So where else are they going to go? And how
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: does does Iran respond? We'll look at that here on
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: news talks hed been Next is.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That Miles ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a playing store news dog.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Zid Bey thirteen after five. Somebody's text and to say,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: don't pay for health insurance, just spend more on good
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: nutritious food. And you you know a doctor of day
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: keeps an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. His
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: son Israela. So this is the head of his biller
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: who was killed on Friday. Just interesting to hear how
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: they actually did it. So he was in a bunker
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on Friday morning, eighteen meters underground. He was it was
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: above underneath a working class neighborhood in Beirute. At dusk,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: he's sitting around with a bunch of other commanders, a
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: bunch of other senior leaders, and Israel dumps eighty tons
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of bombs from the year onto this little area where
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: they were where they were being hiding out basically, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: they used a series of timed, chained explosions to penetrate
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: this bunker eighteen meters under the ground and bomb He's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: head of the world's most heavily armed militia. Huge deal
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: because now Israel has wiped out nearly an entire generation
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: of his Buller leaders. Fourteen after five Brian Bridge, more
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: developments overnight. They are going after Yemen now. Obviously the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Hooti rebels are there a proxy for Iran, certainly funded
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and armed by Iran. So lots of developments to be
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: looking at Israel, also saying that they have taken out
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: a second senior Hezbiller leader. This was the reaction from
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Iran at the un there's slumbers.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Republic of Iran will be on the side the Phlebenon
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: and resistance by all men's and thank you very much.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was all he said. Doctor Leon Goldsmith is
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Otaga University Professor for Middle Eastern and Comparative Politics. He's
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: with us this morning, bent on the show before Leon.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning Ryan. What happens here? What happens next?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean this is extremely significant. I think this
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: is a historic juncture. The love or hate Hassansrala. He
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: was a towering figure in the Middle East over the
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: last three decades. So this is right up there with
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: the assassination of Unwassa dat Bashi Jamail and eighty two
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Yitzakara bin yes Arafat or Ruffi her Aria in two
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: thousand and five. It's going to be a major juncture
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: that we look back on, I think. So it's clear
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: now that the Israelis is going to go after the
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: so called axis of resistance everywhere. I mean, Israela hasn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: been seen in public for over twenty years. He doesn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: even address his supporters except by video feed. So this
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: was clearly something with the Israelis a plan for a
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: long time, very very significant.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Are they essentially starting a regional war now? I mean,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you know they're heading well, I suppose in some sense
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: it has been going on for a while. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the Hooties have been firing into Israel and continues to
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: do so. But Israel is really ramping up its attack
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: on those proxies of Iran.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's something that I've been I'm saying
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: for a while. That's they're trying to provoke Iran into
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: a into a sort of a front front or assault
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the confrontation. But I think it's gone beyond the rubicon now.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: I think Israeli is a second waiting, and I think
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: we're just going to go after so com in A
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: and Tahran, the leader of Iran has basically gone into
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: secure environment himself, and I think that we're into some
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: syup fairly serious regional escalation.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Now, what does what is Iran's capability? What does what
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: would a strike look like?
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: From them? Well, all the thing is, what Iran has
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: always tried to maintain is that his balla is its
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: insurance policy, that's the butler against any kind of Israeli
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: strike directly at the Iranian leadership. So that essentially is
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: looking increasingly thin and increasingly like it's not going to
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: be effective. So her own mates scrambled towards a nuclear weapon.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Now I mean this, we have no idea of what
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: they may be thinking internally, but that's definitely a possibility.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And then, of course you've got the United States, where
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: an election has been held and everybody says, oh, don't worry,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: we'll get a ceasefire. You know, We're get a ceasefire
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: for Gaza, We'll get a ceasefire for you know, Russia.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: We'll get a ceasefire for Lebanon.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Well, the US is looking incredibly impotent in this situation
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: and it's basically just being used and exploited by it
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: as it basically it's sort of obliged to stand behind
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: and watch with horror as they draw them into this
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: conflict as well. So yeah, this is very very dangerous times.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: New Zealand has designated Hasbella as a terrorist entity. This
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: was in twenty ten, but not the political wing. Do
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: we need to do that or should we change? What
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: do we do about this?
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you look at Australia and Canada, they
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: don't make any distinction. But I don't know how important
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: it is really at the moment because Habela is increasingly.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: The reason why we have that designation I think was
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: so that we can maintain proper diplomatic relations with Lebanon
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: because his BOLLA has members in the parliament and the
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: government in Lebanon. So just for convenience or experience sake,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: But really I don't think it makes a lot of
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: difference with how we designate Habella.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: No, if they're not listening to the US, they're not
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: going to listen to us. Doctor Leon Goldsman, thank you
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: very much for your time. I tag a university professor
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: for Middle Eastern and Comparative Politics, talking about developments in
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the Middle East there overnight. I did reach out last
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: night to old our Foreign Minister, Winston Peters, who is traveling.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: He's currently in Tahiti on his way home from the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: UN He's very busy, but they said they get us
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: a statement. M fantcy. They get us a statement and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: then they put us onto the Department of Prime Minister.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And we haven't got a statement because they probably would
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: have been sleeping anyway. We'll keep asking them about that,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that designation. Nineteen minutes after five, News talks'b the news
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: you need.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: This morning and the in depth analysis early edition with
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a playing store News Talk.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Zi'd be welcome to your Monday morning. Twenty one minutes
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: after five, we're going to go to Gavin Gray in
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the UK after the News at five point thirty plus,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: we're talking about the government's big proposals to shake up
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the building consent process. Takes way too long to get
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a building consent in this country, so will these help
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: these proposals help change that? Right now, though Adam Cooper
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: ZEBI Sports with us Adam, Good morning, Mollie, Ryan, Hey
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the netball. So England beat Us it is yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: Now they've come off off a pretty good series in
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: Australia and I think it shows that England are the
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: ones with match experience under their belts. It was a
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: pretty close Fort Gayman in Auckland last night, so I
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: don't think we can sort of say the Silver Ferns
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: were terrible, but certainly England we're just able to win
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: those key moments and especially right at the end, just
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: able to get the passes and a few crucial intercepts
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: right at the end there. So fifty nine to fifty
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: eight the final score so are very close. And in
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: fact the first three quarters all just were decided in
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: one point margins and it was fourteen all in the
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: final quarters, so yeah, plenty I think for the Silver
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Ferns to just nail down. They introduced a few new debutants,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: so yeah, both Paris Mason and Clara O'Brien making their
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: debuts for the Silver Ferns too, So certainly an experience
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: that they will learn from, i'd say. With the series
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: heading to Pottydoer for Game two on Wednesday.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: It sounds like it was a good game. We lost
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the cricket.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Too, we did, Yeah, I mean, based well on what
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: has happened all through the first few days of this Test,
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: I don't think anyone really thought the Black Caps we're
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: in with much of a shot. I guess one positive
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: that we saw. I mean, they did lose by an
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: innings and one hundred and fifty four runs to Sri
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: Lanka last night. We did see a little bit more
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: fight from New Zealand and the second inning, so they
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: obviously had to follow on after being rolled for a
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: disappointing eighty eight in their first innings. Yeah, so they
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: got out to be that's at T one hundred and
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: ninety nine for five to start the day yesterday afternoon
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: our time, and I think a lot of people were
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: sort of thinking, goodness, mean, just how much are they
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: going to be able to add in terms of runs
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: to save face somewhat in the series. And I think
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: we were all quite pleased with what we saw from
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: some of the New Zealand middle to lower order sixty
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: to Tom Blundell's seventy eighth to Glenn Phillips and sixty
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: seven to Mitch Santner, So you know, pretty pleasing there,
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: ajas patl holding his own there. Captain Tim Saldi though
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: sort of got out and was just whacking it around.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Luck you almost wanted to go home, and he got
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: out for ten off ten and didn't really give New
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Zealand any sort of confidence that they could have any
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: chance of sort of batting out some extra time at
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: the crease. So yeah, two nil the series defeat to
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Sri Lanka. That's four Test losses in a row for
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: the black Caps now and they have a couple of
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: weeks off before three Tests in India which will be
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: really tough as well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Nice one, thanks so much for that Adam Cooper's EBB
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Sport where that's just gone twenty four minutes after five o'clock. Obviously,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: also we beat the Aussies, breaking a couple of who
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: who strouts whatever you want to call them in terms
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: of the records in Wellington and in terms of actually
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: would love to know if anyone was out in Wellington
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: on Saturday night, what was it like? Was Courtney Place
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: busy or was there actually nothing open because everything's closed?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Nine two nine two is and number to text. They
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: also had the wow on the world of wearable art
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: down at the ats squares, so be interesting to see
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: if anyone was out on Saturday. On Saturday night in
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Wellington twenty four minutes after five News Talks b the
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: early edition.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk ZB.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: On News Talk ZBB. Twenty six minutes after five Grumbling
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and discontent in regional New Zealanders going louder and louder,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and Wellington ought to pay attention by Wellington, I mean
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the bee hype. The latest was duneed in. Thirty five
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: thousand people turned out and protest at the weekend, waving signs.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I had Nicola Willis swinging on a wrecking ball. The
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: wrecking ball was a picture of Luxeon's head. The reason
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: that government should heed and listen is because of the
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: size of the protest. Thirty five thousand is the biggest
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: in decades. But it wasn't just your usual mob of
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: rent a crowd and serial protests. It was normal people,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: normal people now Dneda normally doesn't vote red. So do
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: you bother listening if you're the government, Well, the problem
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: is it's not just duned and it's everywhere. Give me
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: a region, and I'll give you a grievance Central North Island,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: plant closures, Marlborough Firry cancelation, Tatadua, the tolling of the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: manum Tu Gorge, the West Coast health cuts. Now, I
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: think the government will compromise on Dunedin, but for most
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of the rest of the regions waving placards and marching,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the message will be simple. Blame labor. They spent with
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Gayer Bandon during and after COVID inflation ran rampant, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: now we're having to come in and clean it up.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: This is what they'll say. That's why we need toll
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: roads to get these things finished. That's why we need
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: to downsize massive new hospitals. It's why we have to
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: cut that bridge or that school or this funding. The
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: question for the government is are these people going to
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: turn around and vote labor and anger And the answer
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: is probably not, especially not if they're swing voters. People
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: understand generally why we are in this mess, and most
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: are just trying to sway the current government, not change
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: it completely. Ray and Bridge just gone twenty eight after
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: five year on news talk said be still plenty more
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: to come. I haven't told you yet which regions are
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: doing well with the salary increases. That is interesting. Also
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: we're going to go to Gavin Gray out of the UK.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: There's a vote in Austria that the far right is
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: opposition is looking to when oh, they've just won it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Leo has just told me. So there you go. The Austrians.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: They went to vote on their Sunday, our Monday and
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: the general election. So the far right opposition Freedom Party
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: was leading in the polls and has just won, according
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: to our producer Leo. So we'll talk to Gavin Gray
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: about that. Plus building consents, big proposal is coming from
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: the government that is coming up just before six here
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: on News Talk set busy. Isn't that sweet?
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: Like this?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: What's the news?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: The first word on the News of the Day early
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Beds and applying store News Talk Sibby.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Good morning, twenty four minutes away from the six News
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Talk said, be great to have your company, Ryan, amazing
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: night in Wellington, fantastic week and awesome crowd at the game.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Courtney Place was packed. That is good to hear because
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: boy do they need it. Coming up in the next
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: half hour. We're going to talk about building consents. If
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: you are in planning a new build or if you're
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: thinking about a renovation, then these changes might affect you.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that before six. Also Gavin Gray in
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the UK. All our reporters around the country standing by
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: as we speak. But I have to go very quickly
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to Milania Trump, who over the weekend did an exclusive
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: interview with Fox News. She's got a book out anyway.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: She was asked, and don't get me wrong, I like Milania,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: but she was asked, how did your experience previously in
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: your working career prepare you to be your first lady?
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: I think nothing prepared me more to be first lady
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: in front of the world than the fashion industry. The
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: fashion industry, it's glamorous, but it's at the same time
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: very tough.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I mean it's true, it's true. I'm sure it is clamorous,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: but also tough. It's just a funny thing to say.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: The numbers text twenty three away from Sex. Ryan Bridge
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: going to our reporters around the country and we start
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: with Cullen, Proctor and Need and that massive protest over
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: the weekend. Cullum and more planned. Yeah, morning, Ryan.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: It was the biggest public protests seen here in decades
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: and estimated thirty five thousand turning up young and old
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: marching on Saturday against these proposed cuts to our new
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: regional hospital. Our mer Juels Radicks says the protest campaign
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: will now shift its focus to direct lobbying of key
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: government ministers. He says he'll also lead a Southern delegation
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: to Wellington to continue the campaign in person. He says
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: it's crucial that they continue to apply pressure to make sure.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: That they heard how's your weather today?
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Come, it's good fine today apart from morning cloud nor
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Eastly's easing the high sixteen brilliant, Thank you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Claire Sheuwert is in christ Church this morning. Clear AI
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: is lending a hand and fixing your rods.
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: Yes, we know christ Church roads. You know we need
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: a hand one way or another. The City Council's maintenance
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: teams have been using some cameras connected to their contract
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: to vehicles Ryan, in order to record the condition of
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: our streets. City Streets Maintenance Manager Steve Guy says they've
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: been detecting everything from damage on both roads and footpaths
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: to damaged or even missing street signs. He says, an
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: algorithm scans the recordings to find faults, then categorizes them
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: and then presents repair options. The technology has been equipped
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: to some of their trucks, utes at mobility scooters and
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: also bicycles.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: What so the bikes go what is there a camera
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: on the bottom of the bike and it goes over
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: a bump and then tells someone there's a bump in
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the road or a pothole.
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: Yep, that's exactly what it does.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. How's you with it today?
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Fine?
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: Northeasterlyes fresh for a time this afternoon and a maximum
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: of sixteen.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Nice one, Claire, Thank you, Maxis and Wellington terrifying plane landing, Max.
• 20:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think anyone who's lived or traveled here enough
• 20:59
  Speaker 12: has one of the stories. Flights endzed two seven to
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: two from Brisbane on Thursday last week with quite a
• 21:05
  Speaker 12: dramatic aborted landing. Akshni Prasad, who was on the plane,
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: told us about how the pilot several times on the
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: flight was telling passengers the weather in Wellington was pretty
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: bad and that landing would be tough. That obviously setting
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: everyone on edge. The plane went into a holding pattern
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: over the Capitol for a while, then a very bumpy descent.
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: The plane hit the ground hard and within seconds took
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: off again. Everyone terrified, everyone shot. The pilot didn't even
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: bother trying again, just flew straight to Auckland. Footage of
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: this flight shows the plane landing suddenly pulling up with
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: smoke billowing in the tail area of the plane in
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: New Zealand, insisting the tail making no contact with the runway.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Goodness, may it has you with it today, hopefully a
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: bit better. It should be fine.
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: Northerly's high of seventeen in the city.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Nice one mixed, thank you, Neiva's an Aukland. Good morning, Neva,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: good morning. Sounds scary, doesn't it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: I know, just listening to Mix telling that story, I was, Oh.
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: All I can say is I'm glad I wasn't on
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: that flight.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Nic. But although given the state of Wellington, probably most
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: flights should just have brought to Auckland.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: I know, we said, you know, the pilot didn't say anything.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: It just right go back to Auckland.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Let's just go and not trying, PARMI no, not trying
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: anywhere else. Just straight rgan, Hey, what's happening to the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: other record.
• 22:23
  Speaker 11: We've done it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: We've done it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: We have the Hukker World Record a team. I think
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: there was quite a bit of chit chatter about this
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: in the build up over the weekend. This is at
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: Eden Park and we smashed the previous records. So it
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: was set by France and it was like four thousand
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: and twenty eight. That was the that was their record
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: ten years ago.
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: So we did it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: The Guinness World Record official confirmed six thousand, five hundred
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: and thirty one people confirmed committee. This was last night
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: in Auckland at Eden Park. I wasn't there, but I
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: lived close by and there was a really great vibe around.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Could you hear it from your No, I couldn't.
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: I would have gone if I hadn't had to ferry
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: people to and from the airport. I went to the
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: airport tree right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: You were on airport duty.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: And can I say it was really good because they're
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: free flowing. I think because we talked about it on
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: you they thought Neihva's coming make way, so it was
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: really really good.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Oh that's fantastic. I'm pleased. You've had a good weekend
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: and you had a good catch up with your friends. Yes,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I did. How's our weather today.

  Speaker 8: Our weather, Oh lovely cloudy. We've got the northerlies whipping in.

  Speaker 3: ZVB because I know you just can't get enough of me.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I want to tell you about an exciting new project
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: that has just launched. I'm hosting a weekly podcast called
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Bridge Talks Business with Melford. Each episode, I'll be getting
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: together with a member of Melford's team of leading analysts,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: fund managers, and financial experts for a look at the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: week's biggest business stories. It's a time of financial turbulence,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: with the glowble economy currently in transition. Inflation looks to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: be on the decline in many countries, but volatility remains.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: So why is that happening, what can be done about it?
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: And where are things heading. We'll look at the data,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: will work out what we can learn from market history,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and ask the hard questions. This will be your go
• 24:16

• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Now, the far right's doing well in Austria Gavin Gray's
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: are UK Europe correspondent Gavin, good morning.
• 24:44
  Speaker 14: Good morning to you. Yes it is now. According to
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: projections based on initial results, the far right Freedom Party
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: is heading for an unprecedented general election victory. It's estimate
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: did'll have over twenty nine percent of the vote. That's
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: three points ahead of the Conservative People's Party. But it's
• 25:04
  Speaker 14: short of a majority, and that is the sticking point, right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 14: because most of the other parties, all but one, say
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: they will not go into coalition with them. However, having
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: said that, the Freedom Party, if it is the biggest party,
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: will be entitled to try and lead a coalition government.
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: So all sorts of things going on here. Why is
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: it so controversial for the six point three million Austrians
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: eligible to vote well? Because of overtones going back to
• 25:31
  Speaker 14: the Nazis, and the World War. The Freedom Party's leader
• 25:35
  Speaker 14: has promised to Austrians to build fortress Austria who restore security,
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: prosperity and peace. He's called himself the People's Chancellor, and
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: believe it or not, that was what Adolph Hitler described
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: himself as in Nazi Germany. So all sorts of overtones here.
• 25:51
  Speaker 14: We expect their full results later.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't it, because you have these far right parties,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: not just an Austria, but all over you're popping up
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: and then you have other parties saying on we won't
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: work with.
• 26:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's right. So in the Netherlands, get Wilder's Freedom
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: Party won, but he dropped his bid to become prime
• 26:07
  Speaker 14: minister so that other parties would agree to form a
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: coalition with him. However, in Italy Georgia, Maloney had a
• 26:14
  Speaker 14: right wing coalition as leader of the far right party.
• 26:17
  Speaker 14: So there are some around but yeah, big pressure to
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: actually take notes to the voters.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Gevin, thank you very much for that. That's
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Kevin Gray, who's our UK europe correspondent with US Live
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: this morning. Also another news of former Russian spy, you know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: this is the Salisbury poisonings in the UK. That former
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Russian spy and his daughter who were poisoned in that attack.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: You remember in Salisbury. There's an an inquiry going on
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: into what happened there. Those two aren't being called to
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: give evidence. This is in the United Kingdom because of
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: fears that Russia could get to them on the way
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: there and finish the job. Just gone twelve minutes away
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: from six Ryan Bridge. Big changes coming to our building
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: consenting process could be on the way. Currently, there are
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: sixty seven building consent authorities who receive and approved consents
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: in New Zealand, sixty seven of them, with each one
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: taking a slightly different approach to the rules, so building
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: can construction. Mister Chris Pink he's proposing changes to create
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: larger regional authorities to help standardize the process and make
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: things quicker. Malcolm Flemings, the New Zealand Certified Builders Chief Executive,
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: he's with us this morning. Malcolm, good morning, good morning, Rayan.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: You're happy about these changes. Do you have any idea
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: how much quicker it could make the process?
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Well, First of.
• 27:33
  Speaker 15: All, Ryan we support his own certified Billers supports this
• 27:37
  Speaker 15: general move towards quicker the processes for building consent authorities
• 27:43
  Speaker 15: to work through building consents. As you're pointed out in
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: your introduction, there are sixty seven different building councils around YOURSELD.
• 27:51
  Speaker 15: And we often have a different interpretation of a building consent.
• 27:55
  Speaker 15: So for example, a designer a builder in crist jurge
• 28:01
  Speaker 15: maybe submitting a building concent in that jurisdiction and that
• 28:05
  Speaker 15: building concent flying through without any problems the same building
• 28:09
  Speaker 15: consent presented say in a White Catechist as an example,
• 28:13
  Speaker 15: what have some issues and that creates inconsistency, that creates
• 28:17
  Speaker 15: time and delays. Time is cost for a project.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Speaking of time wait times, we're hearing up to two
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: months for a building consent, eighteen months for a resource
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: concent Does that sound about ran?
• 28:30
  Speaker 15: Building consents have become down from where they were in
• 28:33
  Speaker 15: the peak. And remember Ian, it wasn't that long ago
• 28:37
  Speaker 15: that we were talking two years in fact, that we
• 28:39
  Speaker 15: have an artificial peak of fifty thousand building concent applications
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: in this country. The previous we've just got over forty
• 28:47
  Speaker 15: thousand and two years before in twenty twenty one, and
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: that was the first time forty thousand have been exceeded
• 28:54
  Speaker 15: since the mid nineteen seventies. So there's a lot of
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: pressure on the system right now, and consent are tracking
• 29:02
  Speaker 15: through at a reasonable rate.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, what about the private consenting providers? This is for inspections.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: People are worried about this because of leaky homes and
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: if we reintroduce private consenting providers that you know, we
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: have more problems on our hands. Would you are you
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: okay with that suggestion?
• 29:22
  Speaker 15: More rather prefer some of the options they've been looking
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: at in this paper other options, and again is a
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: lack of detail, but options along the lines of regional
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: bcas sort of amalgamation of some of those existing bcas.
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: I would imagine as we've been talking about agency be
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: our own submission to the regulator around a large metro
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: drawing and being unified with a number of the smaller councils.
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: They've got really good capacity within the system itself. Just
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: reads that merge creating greater recall capacity within those organizations
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: to have them help us go. Yeah, to carry through.
• 30:10
  Speaker 15: At the moment we're a little lower and built contents
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: more likely word if just about four years before COVID,
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: but they'll should up agin the next couple of years.
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: The government's quite quite right to look at this now.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: All right, So it sounds like they're doing the right
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: thing and how they're doing a different story, Malcolm, Thank
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you for that. Malcolm Fleming, the New Zealand Certified Builders
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Chief executive with us this morning. The other interesting thing
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: from this is who should pay if something goes wrong.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Currently the Council can be the last man standing. And
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: when it goes through the legal process and they get
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: the bill, should it be the builders? This is another
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: issue that they're looking at and this report of proposals.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Just gone eight minutes away from six News Talks be.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you for twenty
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: beds and a play at store News Talk.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Za'd be welcome to your Monday just gone six minutes
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: away from six Ryan. The hospital protest in Dunedin. What
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: exactly does Dunedin want? Asks this listener. A three billion
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: dollar hospital isn't viable for a city of one hundred
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: and thirty thousand people. Ryan. I'm an architectural designer in
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Auckland and I get my building consents through in about
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: four to six weeks. This is as the government looks
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: to change the rules. The longer times, usually due to
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: very poor quality plan documentation. In other words, it's their fault,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: not the local authorities. Six away from six Brian Bridge,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I said, I'll tell you about the pay increases very quickly.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: This is six advertised salary index for New Zealand. This
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: is for August. Average advertised salaries group three point seven
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: percent in the year to August, so that is outpacing inflation,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: but only just that is good news. It is down
• 31:54
