Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,

0:15
Speaker 1: Talks EDB.
0:16
Speaker 2: Good morning New Zealand. It is great to be with you.
0:18
Speaker 2: Just gone six after five year old News Talk ZB.
0:20
Speaker 2: I'm Ryan Bridge. Welcome to your Monday morning. A lot
0:23
Speaker 2: to get through that tech glitch on Friday evening affecting
0:27
Speaker 2: eight and a half million computers around the world. Why
0:31
Speaker 2: did China manage to dodge a bullet? We'll ask our
0:34
Speaker 2: it expert just before six o'clock this morning. Also the
0:37
Speaker 2: guy you might have seen it in the news who
0:39
Speaker 2: lost thirty carelos by taking ozempic. Why can't everybody take
0:45
Speaker 2: ozempic if they want to? It has incredible results for
0:48
Speaker 2: people that before five point thirty. And why Biden and
0:52
Speaker 2: Obama are apparently now frenemies. We'll look at that too.
0:55
Speaker 2: Right now, it is seven past the agenda and it's Monday,
1:00
Speaker 2: the twenty second of July. A controversial proposal could tank
1:04
Speaker 2: the exports of infant formula. Australia and New Zealand ministers
1:08
Speaker 2: will meet this week to discuss an over four hundred
1:11
Speaker 2: page proposal which would overhaul baby formula regulations, including labeling laws.
1:16
Speaker 2: Infant Nutrition Council's CEO Jonathan Chu says ingredients like probiotics
1:21
Speaker 2: would be prohibited from being on the labels. He says
1:24
Speaker 2: the products would be stripped down and easily outshone in
1:27
Speaker 2: overseas markets.
1:28
Speaker 3: That causes us great concern about what it means both
1:32
Speaker 3: for consumers in New Zealand and for New Zealand export
1:36
Speaker 3: of infant formula.
1:38
Speaker 2: Less than a month after the brin Duwans reopened, a
1:40
Speaker 2: slip closed the critical road over the weekend. State Highway
1:43
Speaker 2: one north of Auckland had been closed for four months.
1:46
Speaker 2: It was earlier in the year for major repair work
1:48
Speaker 2: at a cost of eighty four million dollars, and now
1:52
Speaker 2: it's out again. Fugaday Mayor Vince Cocarillo says a more
1:55
Speaker 2: permanent link to the north needs to be established.
1:58
Speaker 4: Under the under impression that this just a temper fix.
2:01
Speaker 4: We all are waiting for the four lane expressway.
2:03
Speaker 3: When that actually gets completed, which is from Walkworth to.
2:06
Speaker 2: Sing At eight, Yeah, well good luck, and honestly, how
2:10
Speaker 2: many times have they done that? Fix it? Fix it?
2:12
Speaker 2: Fix it, strength and strength and strengthen, and then it
2:15
Speaker 2: happens every time it rains. Poll numbers are up for
2:17
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, a week on from an attempt at assassination attempt,
2:21
Speaker 2: forty percent of those poll found him to be favorable,
2:24
Speaker 2: while fifty one percent don't. And it's not looking as
2:27
Speaker 2: good for Biden, sitting on thirty two percent favorability. Fifty
2:31
Speaker 2: five percent of people find him unfavorable. The poll from
2:35
Speaker 2: ABC News also found sixty percent of Democrats want Biden
2:39
Speaker 2: to step aside from running as the nominee.
2:41
Speaker 1: This election News and Views you Trust to start your
2:46
Speaker 1: day is early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
2:49
Speaker 1: New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a flying store.
2:52
Speaker 2: News Talk said he's still at the beach house too,
2:54
Speaker 2: by the way, Biden and facing more calls this morning
2:58
Speaker 2: from more senators who want him to stand aside. This
3:00
Speaker 2: was an independent seditor, actually an old matif who's calling
3:04
Speaker 2: on him to stand down now. I felt bad for
3:06
Speaker 2: Biden at the weekend watching him get off, on and
3:09
Speaker 2: off the helicopter that took him to his beach house.
3:12
Speaker 2: He sort of stops and stumbles, and he looks like
3:16
Speaker 2: he doesn't know where he is. And I used to
3:17
Speaker 2: think it was kind of funny, you know, you go
3:20
Speaker 2: and watch those clips online of Biden falls over, Biden
3:24
Speaker 2: has gaff and it was funny. Now I honestly just
3:26
Speaker 2: feel sorry for the guy. It feels a bit sad
3:29
Speaker 2: at this point. Anyway. Great news for a man from Wellington.
3:33
Speaker 2: You might have seen this in the news at the weekend.
3:36
Speaker 2: His name is Finlay Thompson and he's lost thirty kilos
3:40
Speaker 2: by taking part in the trial of a zempac. Zimpica
3:43
Speaker 2: is one of those miracle weight loss cure drugs that
3:46
Speaker 2: the Americans are taking. Oprah's had it, and it mean
3:48
Speaker 2: if Oprah's had it, then you know it's good. Oprah's
3:51
Speaker 2: had it and she looks amazing. Elon Musk has had it.
3:53
Speaker 2: He's lost his sort of baby fat. The problem is
3:57
Speaker 2: you can't so this guy in Wellington, Finlay, went from
3:59
Speaker 2: one hundred thirty eight kre loos to one hundred and seven.
4:02
Speaker 2: Imagine the benefits for your heart health, for your for
4:05
Speaker 2: your psyche, for your liver, for your kidney, for your
4:08
Speaker 2: risk of stroke. Did you know in New Zealand that
4:11
Speaker 2: direct healthcare costs from obesity are two billion dollars. That's
4:16
Speaker 2: eight percent of our health budget. And the indirect costs
4:19
Speaker 2: get this seven to nine billion dollars on the economy,
4:23
Speaker 2: So the cost is huge. And this drug they reckon
4:27
Speaker 2: can shave twenty five percent off you of fat off you,
4:31
Speaker 2: and you know, in a matter of months. It's incredible
4:33
Speaker 2: what it does. And this guy who was in the
4:35
Speaker 2: paper at the weekend said exactly that he couldn't tie
4:37
Speaker 2: his shoelaces. So it's an incredible drug. So why can't
4:41
Speaker 2: you get it for weight loss? And new Genum well
4:43
Speaker 2: Medsafe says no, And I think that's that's stupid. I mean,
4:47
Speaker 2: if the Americans are doing it, why can't we? Nine
4:51
Speaker 2: nine two is the number to text. Imagine how much
4:53
Speaker 2: we would save. And that's only one reason that we
4:55
Speaker 2: should be doing it. Just going eleven after five. Now,
4:58
Speaker 2: coming up next, we are talking about the result from
5:00
Speaker 2: the Todonger elections local body elections. And I can tell
5:04
Speaker 2: you that the mayor lives one hundred kilometers away from
5:08
Speaker 2: the city which he will which he will be the
5:11
Speaker 2: mayor of in Todonger. What do you think about that?
5:13
Speaker 2: We'll ask Matt crow Cawley, who's with us from the
5:16
Speaker 2: totong Business Chamber.
5:18
Speaker 1: Next the News you Need this morning and the in
5:22
Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
5:26
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds had a playing store.
5:28
Speaker 2: News Talk said be thirteen after five Now Totonger has
5:32
Speaker 2: elected a new mayor and councilors. According to preliminary results,
5:36
Speaker 2: the former Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale will be the first
5:39
Speaker 2: person to take the mayoral chains after the last council
5:42
Speaker 2: was replaced by commissioners. Who remember that back in early
5:44
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Local government elections for the rest of
5:47
Speaker 2: us will take place next year, making this the first
5:51
Speaker 2: council that will serve a four year term. The Tonga
5:54
Speaker 2: Business Chamber Chief executive Matt Cawley is with me this morning.
5:58
Speaker 2: Matt was mahey, the best of the aunt do you reckon?
6:02
Speaker 1: Look?
6:02
Speaker 5: He was a moderate that obviously managed to appeal to
6:07
Speaker 5: as many people and from a business perspective, gave a
6:11
Speaker 5: bit of certainty in terms of not wanting to be
6:15
Speaker 5: too radical in terms of going forward. And it looks
6:18
Speaker 5: like the team around him might be in a similar position.
6:21
Speaker 5: So nothing too crazy.
6:23
Speaker 2: And there's only one guy on there who was from
6:25
Speaker 2: the Sex Council, the guy called Steve Morris. What's he like?
6:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, look, he's a really good champion for PATMAH.
6:32
Speaker 5: I think he was the obvious person for PATMOMA. But really, look,
6:38
Speaker 5: it's more around how well they get along in between meetings.
6:43
Speaker 5: I think it was an absolute pressure cooker situation last
6:46
Speaker 5: time with COVID and a whole bunch of other things.
6:48
Speaker 5: But that's beyond. That's our history, that's authortion chip paper
6:53
Speaker 5: now and hopefully we can remove those embarrassing days from us.
6:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard so. So what about the turnout? Speaking
7:01
Speaker 2: of embarrassing, I mean it's around thirty percent.
7:07
Speaker 5: Hopefully with specials we get somewhere close to twenty nineteen,
7:11
Speaker 5: so it's not going to be it's be our usual trend,
7:14
Speaker 5: which is still low but not embarrassingly low. But it
7:18
Speaker 5: sort of raises questions around is this really the full
7:21
Speaker 5: democracy that the so called community had wanted?
7:25
Speaker 2: Well? Do you think it is? I mean, do you
7:27
Speaker 2: think there's something fundamentally broken here? When they didn't have
7:31
Speaker 2: the chance to vote at the last one. They haven't
7:33
Speaker 2: been represented democratically for a couple of years because of
7:36
Speaker 2: these commissioners and then here's your chance, and only thirty
7:39
Speaker 2: percent turn up.
7:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the whole sect is a little bit
7:44
Speaker 5: broken in terms of engaging communities, being relevant and a
7:48
Speaker 5: little bit of sentences and fatigue out there as well.
7:52
Speaker 5: And just Atpathieve Mike Hoskin SAIDs some comments last Friday
7:56
Speaker 5: which I kind of agree with in terms of maybe
8:00
Speaker 5: a bit of balance with some skills and some elected members.
8:04
Speaker 5: Who knows.
8:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you got any concerns or does it talk
8:09
Speaker 2: in the town about the fact that Mahade lives one
8:11
Speaker 2: hundred k's away from the White Cato. Does anyone care
8:13
Speaker 2: about that?
8:15
Speaker 1: Oh?
8:15
Speaker 5: Well, some people do. But it sounds like he'll be
8:18
Speaker 5: considering coming over when his kid finishes his year of school,
8:22
Speaker 5: so he will be will be part of it very
8:25
Speaker 5: very soon. So that's not a major.
8:27
Speaker 2: Not a big deal. It's probably Yeah, what's the big
8:30
Speaker 2: what's the one big thing that they need to start
8:33
Speaker 2: fixing for you.
8:33
Speaker 5: Matt, Well, before they can fix anything, they need to
8:38
Speaker 5: know how local government works and know how to work
8:41
Speaker 5: together as a team. But then there's a risk that
8:44
Speaker 5: they might be a little bit too scared of not
8:48
Speaker 5: wanting to disagree and wanting to get along so well
8:50
Speaker 5: that they might get a bit of group thinking and
8:53
Speaker 5: rubber stamps some recommendations that come through from staff. So
8:58
Speaker 5: somewhere in between castructive discussion and robust opportunities, the Commission
9:04
Speaker 5: is pushed back on staff a couple of times, which
9:06
Speaker 5: is good. It's healthy and governant and they shouldn't be
9:10
Speaker 5: too scared to do that either.
9:11
Speaker 2: Matt, thanks for their time this morning. Good luck with
9:13
Speaker 2: a new council. It sounds like just a bare minimum
9:16
Speaker 2: functioning council as well. What Matt is after there? That's
9:19
Speaker 2: Matt Carley. They're tit on a business Chamber Chief Executive.
9:22
Speaker 2: Coming up next, it's Sport with Andrew.
9:24
Speaker 1: Edison, The First Word on the News of the Day
9:29
Speaker 1: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
9:33
Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a playing store.
9:35
Speaker 2: News Talk City, Good morning, Welcome to you month, Good morning,
9:37
Speaker 2: Welcome to your Monday morning. On News Talks there, BET's
9:39
Speaker 2: just gone twenty past five. A text here from John
9:42
Speaker 2: who says, this is ozempic, the wonder drug that Oprah
9:45
Speaker 2: took and now she looks amazing. And there's a guy
9:48
Speaker 2: in Wellington who lost thirty kilos in the space of
9:51
Speaker 2: a couple of months. Morning, Ryan. While the drug is
9:53
Speaker 2: approved for another use, which is diabetes, there hasn't been
9:57
Speaker 2: a longer term analysis of the use for weight loss alone,
10:00
Speaker 2: because this drug you can only get if you've got
10:02
Speaker 2: type two diabetes in New Zealand. You can't get it
10:04
Speaker 2: to just lose weight. Right twenty one after five, Now
10:06
Speaker 2: Andrew Ordison's here was sport. Good morning Greeting's Ryan, and
10:10
Speaker 2: the Tour de frances is wrapping up or has wrapped up.
10:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's wrapping up, So they're just flying around at
10:15
Speaker 6: the moment between Monaco and Nice. Just been watching Pagarchia
10:19
Speaker 6: before I came in today. Pagarchia, who's looking to secure
10:21
Speaker 6: as third Yellow Jewsy, looks like he's going to do
10:24
Speaker 6: it comfortably at the moment, but you never know in
10:26
Speaker 6: the final stanza as to where he may end up.
10:29
Speaker 6: But he's got that comfortable five minute buffer over Jannie Vingergore.
10:34
Speaker 6: And Yeah, it's been a tremendous duel across what best
10:37
Speaker 6: part of three and a half thousands of kilometers and
10:41
Speaker 6: they're finally going to wrap it up in Nice.
10:43
Speaker 2: What's the distance between them are Is it quite a bit?
10:47
Speaker 7: Yes?
10:47
Speaker 6: Five minutes, so that it's on this last time trial,
10:50
Speaker 6: so they basically just have to just have to hold
10:52
Speaker 6: on there. And I mean, I know between you and I,
10:56
Speaker 6: I mean the legs that their legs must be absolutely shattered.
10:59
Speaker 6: But I mean and then it stays how long it
11:01
Speaker 6: takes to recover and then.
11:02
Speaker 2: It becomes a brain thing, doesn't it? A mental Yeah? Absolutely?
11:06
Speaker 2: The Formula One in Hungary.
11:08
Speaker 6: Yes, so quite a controversial first there is today with
11:12
Speaker 6: well Pastre has won the race. He's the seventh separate
11:17
Speaker 6: winner this year in Formula One, but in the fifth
11:20
Speaker 6: Australian to win a Formula One Grand Prix. But under
11:23
Speaker 6: team orders, Lander Norris has had to basically move aside
11:27
Speaker 6: as part of the McLaren team and ps she has
11:30
Speaker 6: come through to win the event. So ps she was
11:33
Speaker 6: leading and took it away from Norris a pole at
11:36
Speaker 6: the start of the race. But Norris did heavy advantage
11:40
Speaker 6: for a great majority of it as well. But he's
11:43
Speaker 6: been a reluctant shifter I guess to move across and
11:47
Speaker 6: on through, but that's the nature of it. Team orders
11:49
Speaker 6: you got to accept.
11:50
Speaker 2: Why would they want one to win over the other?
11:52
Speaker 6: Well, not totally sure about how that would work at
11:55
Speaker 6: this stage because Norris has been second to extra STARp
11:58
Speaker 6: and in the Formula one the standings, but Piastre that
12:02
Speaker 6: decided he was their man and in.
12:05
Speaker 2: Three weent Oh that's disappointing.
12:06
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you'd be absolutely good.
12:09
Speaker 2: Here's my game, here's my moment in the sun.
12:12
Speaker 6: I'm under contract and I've got to get got to
12:14
Speaker 6: take the take the orders when they came.
12:16
Speaker 2: I can't bite the hand that feeds again exactly. Ardie
12:18
Speaker 2: Savi is leaving the Hurricanes to join Wina PACIFICA.
12:21
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:21
Speaker 6: I think I can probably understand this move, even years
12:24
Speaker 6: with the Hurricanes and he's decided time for a change
12:28
Speaker 6: and signing through. I guess the greater good is that
12:30
Speaker 6: he will sign through till twenty twenty seven with New
12:32
Speaker 6: Zealand Rugby and he joins his brother Jordian as well
12:36
Speaker 6: at Wina PACIFICA. I had some success out of talent
12:39
Speaker 6: among a season, I think four wins from fourteen the
12:42
Speaker 6: signs of progress there, which is good for the greater
12:45
Speaker 6: game as well. So Ardie Savy, it's it's a big,
12:48
Speaker 6: big signing in their respect, and and you know he'll
12:50
Speaker 6: add a lot to their hopes in dreams for the
12:54
Speaker 6: following season.
12:54
Speaker 2: Yeah were you Were you happy with the Fiji game
12:57
Speaker 2: at the weekend?
12:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think largely they just seem to bounder control
13:01
Speaker 6: for the most part. Another good win for Scott Robertson
13:04
Speaker 6: to boost his confidence. You know, players like Nah Hotham
13:07
Speaker 6: as well, just getting a chance on the field today
13:10
Speaker 6: among others. But I thought, yeah, good good standards showing
13:14
Speaker 6: from the All Blacks and away they go, and I
13:16
Speaker 6: guess it leads to the rest of the season, looking
13:18
Speaker 6: forward to where that takes them, Baggy Championship beyond.
13:20
Speaker 2: He's won one hundred percent of his game so far.
13:24
Speaker 6: That's right, And I was thinking after that first fight,
13:27
Speaker 6: he's probably counting his blessings.
13:28
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, Andrew Orderson Sport this morning, Thanks so much.
13:32
Speaker 2: Just gone twenty three minutes after five. We're back in
13:34
Speaker 2: a second talking well about the Olympics. An incredibly unique
13:39
Speaker 2: opening ceremony will take place this Saturday. I'll tell you
13:42
Speaker 2: about that.
13:43
Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the fiction Kids Filling edition with
13:48
Speaker 1: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a client store
13:51
Speaker 1: News talksb Welcome back.
13:53
Speaker 2: Just gone twenty six after five Yon News talks edb
13:55
Speaker 2: hamous Kerr. You might recall the name. He's our high jumper,
13:58
Speaker 2: one gold at the Colm Games so far, hasn't won
14:01
Speaker 2: anything at the Olympics, hasn't got an Olympic medal. But
14:05
Speaker 2: boy is he looking good for Paris. He's apparently in
14:08
Speaker 2: great shape, great form. The opening ceremony kicks off this
14:11
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, by the way, very excited. Yeah, apparently he's
14:15
Speaker 2: peaking right at just at the right time. He's taken
14:19
Speaker 2: up the men's high jump title at the London Diamond
14:21
Speaker 2: League Athletics meet. He cleared two point three meters there.
14:25
Speaker 2: Imagine that clearing two point three meters in the high jump.
14:28
Speaker 2: He also won in Monaco earlier this month, where he
14:31
Speaker 2: cleared two point three to three and that equed his
14:33
Speaker 2: personal best in an outdoor event. So the men's high
14:36
Speaker 2: jump for those who are interested, is on August the seventh,
14:40
Speaker 2: which local time, which means it'll be the eighth for us.
14:43
Speaker 2: The opening ceremony is this Saturday morning. The time is
14:46
Speaker 2: five thirty am, so set your alarms, get up a
14:49
Speaker 2: little bit early. Apparently the ceremony will peak at seven
14:52
Speaker 2: point thirty in the morning because that'll be the sunset
14:55
Speaker 2: in Paris. Anyway, I just love this. It's our biggest
14:59
Speaker 2: ever at the ext TAM heading to Paris this year,
15:01
Speaker 2: apparently heading to the Olympics. And there's nothing quite like
15:04
Speaker 2: sitting down on the couch for hours on end with
15:08
Speaker 2: some Bicki's and a cup of tea, watching these incredibly disciplined,
15:12
Speaker 2: unbelievably skilled and fit athletes perform for the world. It's
15:16
Speaker 2: almost like because you're watching them do such athletic things
15:22
Speaker 2: that you don't feel lazy for essentially just sitting and
15:25
Speaker 2: watching television for hours on end. It is incredible. It
15:29
Speaker 2: is great to watch, and there's something emotional about the
15:32
Speaker 2: games too. There's always tears and joy and exhaustion. It's
15:35
Speaker 2: humans who are dedicating themselves to something for years, for
15:40
Speaker 2: their life sometimes and knowing all of that comes down
15:43
Speaker 2: to just a few seconds in a race or a
15:45
Speaker 2: game or an event. It's perseverance and dedication on full display.
15:51
Speaker 2: And I just love it. So Hamish Curve to the
15:53
Speaker 2: record seventeen athletes that we are sending from the athletics
15:57
Speaker 2: team and the entire team of one hundred ninety five
16:00
Speaker 2: kiwis who will be wearing the fern in Paris. Good luck.
16:05
Speaker 2: We'll all be watching Bryan Bridge. Lots more to come
16:09
Speaker 2: on the program this morning. We'll talk get some of
16:10
Speaker 2: your feedback about ozempic. See the Olympics. Olympians wouldn't need ozempic,
16:15
Speaker 2: would they? So just either running or rowing all the time,
16:19
Speaker 2: they don't get fat. But for the rest of us,
16:21
Speaker 2: well on the couch with you Bicky's and your cup
16:24
Speaker 2: of tea, I think we could use some of ozempic.
16:26
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. There was a great story in
16:28
Speaker 2: the paper at the weekend about a guy who lost
16:30
Speaker 2: from Wellington who lost thirty kilos on Ozmpic. So we're
16:34
Speaker 2: talking about that and we'll get your feedback shortly, very quickly.
16:38
Speaker 2: Apparently there was a Biden and Obama are frenemies. What
16:43
Speaker 2: frenemies are friends slash enemies? And obviously they used to
16:47
Speaker 2: be president and vice president together, but apparently because Obama's
16:51
Speaker 2: trying to talk Biden out of the race. But apparently
16:54
Speaker 2: Biden has a grudge against Obama because of twenty sixteen
16:59
Speaker 2: when Biden wants to run and Obamasa and his team
17:02
Speaker 2: said no, don't leave it to Hillary, And of course
17:04
Speaker 2: Hillary ran and Hillary lost, and he holds a grudge
17:07
Speaker 2: about that. So the more Obama says drop out, the
17:12
Speaker 2: more strident Biden becomes and sure of himself that he's
17:16
Speaker 2: going to stay in the race. So we'll see how
17:18
Speaker 2: that plays out in the next couple of days. Lots
17:21
Speaker 2: more to come here on AM this morning, and we're
17:24
Speaker 2: going to talk to an IT expert about why that
17:28
Speaker 2: tech autage skipped China. It's all the.
17:30
Speaker 1: Head get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge, you for
17:39
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
17:42
Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. News Talk said, B.
17:46
Speaker 2: Good morning, great, have you with me? It is coming
17:49
Speaker 2: up to twenty four minutes away from six on news
17:51
Speaker 2: Talk said B, and it is your Monday morning. We're
17:54
Speaker 2: going to get to our reporters right around the country
17:56
Speaker 2: in just a second. But first and very quickly, Barcelona.
17:59
Speaker 2: This has been a running debate for them. Now not
18:02
Speaker 2: so much of a debate. I think they've made up
18:03
Speaker 2: their minds about mass tourism, but they're taking more steps
18:06
Speaker 2: to try and basically middle finger tourists who are coming
18:10
Speaker 2: to Barcelona. So the mayor, the Juame called Boni is
18:13
Speaker 2: his name. He's from the Catalan Socialist Party. He is
18:16
Speaker 2: going to raise the tourist tax for cruise passengers because
18:20
Speaker 2: they only visit for twelve hours at a time, and
18:22
Speaker 2: he says that basically at the moment the fee is
18:25
Speaker 2: about six or seven euros. He hasn't seen what he's
18:27
Speaker 2: going to increase it to. But he's also gone and
18:31
Speaker 2: taken away the licenses of a whole bunch of Airbnb
18:34
Speaker 2: is about ten thousand of them, so people who had
18:37
Speaker 2: bought properties with the intention of renting them out short term,
18:40
Speaker 2: he said, nap, you can't rent them out short term anymore.
18:42
Speaker 2: This mass tourism is ruining Barcelona. And the reason he's
18:46
Speaker 2: targeting the cruise ship passengers is if you've ever been
18:49
Speaker 2: to a you know, to somewhere in Europe and you've
18:51
Speaker 2: been to the down to the wharf, I mean, it's
18:53
Speaker 2: a chaos ensues. There's these big groups to come in
18:58
Speaker 2: off the boats, normally eaten on board the vessel, so
19:02
Speaker 2: they're not actually buying from the shops. You know, they
19:05
Speaker 2: do a bit of shopping in the stores and things,
19:07
Speaker 2: but it's not the same valued for having a tourist
19:12
Speaker 2: off a cruise liner as it is having someone actually
19:15
Speaker 2: stay the night in your town or your city. So
19:18
Speaker 2: he's going after them and he has a lot of
19:20
Speaker 2: public support and doing so. Twenty two minutes away from
19:24
Speaker 2: six Bread Brech Blake. Benny's with us in duned and Blake,
19:28
Speaker 2: good morning, Good to have you here. The proposed by
19:31
Speaker 2: law that the Needon City Council is looking at. What's
19:33
Speaker 2: this about?
19:34
Speaker 8: Well, it's time to hear if it's a dog's breakfast
19:36
Speaker 8: or not. Submissions on the control by law and policy
19:39
Speaker 8: review have closed. Now. The council's proposing dogs be allowed
19:42
Speaker 8: on a leash in the Octagon and Library Plaza and
19:45
Speaker 8: off leash at certain public areas. It's also suggesting changes
19:48
Speaker 8: to the number of dogs a person can have in public,
19:51
Speaker 8: as well as leash restrictions in some areas. Now public
19:54
Speaker 8: hearings and deliberations start next month.
19:57
Speaker 2: Whether today, Blake.
19:58
Speaker 8: Periods of rain clearing the staff but remaining mostly cloudy.
20:01
Speaker 8: High of nine.
20:02
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Cli Sherwood is in christ Church
20:05
Speaker 2: for us this morning. Clear, good morning frustration over the
20:08
Speaker 2: government's new housing policy.
20:09
Speaker 9: There, yes, Ryan look. Housing Minister Chris Bishop's proposing to
20:13
Speaker 9: require councils to stop setting fixed rural urban boundaries and
20:17
Speaker 9: to set some new targets in his going for housing
20:20
Speaker 9: growth plan. But the council here, the christ Church City
20:23
Speaker 9: Council has listed six concerns with those changes combined. Residents
20:27
Speaker 9: Association spokesperson Tony Simons says it seems like Bishop's unaware
20:31
Speaker 9: of the city's housing problems. He says we have more
20:34
Speaker 9: than enough houses to satisfy his requirement of land for
20:37
Speaker 9: the next thirty to fifty years and could even have
20:39
Speaker 9: capacity for one hundred. Minister Bishop has been approached for comment.
20:44
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. Has the weather today clear?
20:47
Speaker 9: Well drizzley this morning, bit of rain on the cards
20:49
Speaker 9: this afternoon. Southwesterly is becoming strong, a high of ten
20:52
Speaker 9: with an overnight love of three.
20:54
Speaker 2: Thank you. Max is in Wellington. Max's toll more doubt
20:57
Speaker 2: about the council's airport shares sale.
21:00
Speaker 7: Yes, so essentially more counselors who were convinced to vote
21:04
Speaker 7: to sell the city council thirty four percent stake in
21:07
Speaker 7: Wellington Airport now coming out saying they're opposed to the idea.
21:11
Speaker 7: This is in the post this morning. The Mayor and
21:13
Speaker 7: Chief Executive basically sold this to councilors as a must
21:16
Speaker 7: do for the sake of the city's financial books. Labor
21:19
Speaker 7: and Green councilors were furious Tory Fano lost the backing
21:23
Speaker 7: of some of her traditional allies. So you've now got
21:25
Speaker 7: more moderate right leaning counselors who did vote for it,
21:28
Speaker 7: saying it was a bad idea too. Nicolae Young, Dian
21:31
Speaker 7: Calvert Tony randaled the reason again is what they were
21:35
Speaker 7: told the money would be used for by the CEO,
21:37
Speaker 7: by the mayor, by the financial chiefs, that it would
21:40
Speaker 7: essentially be used for a perpetual investment fund. That promise
21:45
Speaker 7: now apparently is ify. So you've got a strong majority
21:48
Speaker 7: opposed to a vote that passed recently to a sale
21:52
Speaker 7: that hasn't happened yet. Questions around whether there's going to
21:54
Speaker 7: be another vote, but councillors are certainly pushing for one.
21:58
Speaker 2: All on the Becker some bad advice, Max.
22:00
Speaker 7: How's the weather today, chowers this morning, clearing this afternoon
22:03
Speaker 7: eleven the high central brilliant.
22:05
Speaker 2: Thank you never RITTI. Many's with us in Auckland. Good morning,
22:08
Speaker 2: good morning. You've got some news for us about the
22:11
Speaker 2: Auckland mayor and traffic cones.
22:13
Speaker 10: Yes, traffic cones in Auckland. We all know how we
22:15
Speaker 10: feel about traffic cones. So Wayne Brown, he's calling for
22:19
Speaker 10: an end to what he's calling traffic cone mania. Now
22:22
Speaker 10: he commissioned an independent report and it's found that temporary
22:26
Speaker 10: traffic management contractors are incentivized to increase disruption for greater profits.
22:31
Speaker 10: So he says, look, traffic management, the temporary management here,
22:36
Speaker 10: it's just gone beyond its necessity. He reckons it doesn't
22:39
Speaker 10: make work sites safer. So he'd like to see some
22:42
Speaker 10: changes to legislation so that councils can charge contractors for disruption.
22:46
Speaker 10: Wouldn't that be great?
22:48
Speaker 2: Great turning the tables on them.
22:49
Speaker 4: That's right.
22:50
Speaker 10: So he's he's onto it.
22:51
Speaker 2: He's onto it because the costs. Every cone costs so
22:55
Speaker 2: much money to hire. I mean, if you've added them
22:57
Speaker 2: all up, I would hate to think even in the sea,
23:00
Speaker 2: what you would be speaking.
23:02
Speaker 10: You must be millions of them, That's what I was thinking. Hey,
23:05
Speaker 10: I just quickly, you know how I spoke to you
23:07
Speaker 10: on Friday about this ninetieth birthday that.
23:09
Speaker 2: I was How was it?
23:10
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, she's ninety going on seventy. It was
23:15
Speaker 10: the best birthday party ever, I should have got her
23:19
Speaker 10: now when I think about it, I should have got
23:21
Speaker 10: her a bungee jump because she was really, really sassy
23:24
Speaker 10: and she got up. There was a talent quiet. She
23:26
Speaker 10: was up singing and dancing and oh my gosh, and
23:29
Speaker 10: then she did this amazing speech. She's really tech savvy,
23:32
Speaker 10: she says. She got up there with the microphone in hand.
23:35
Speaker 10: I thought, oh my gosh, you should be a broadcaster.
23:36
Speaker 10: She could come and read the news. She said, I'm
23:38
Speaker 10: on you know, Instagram, I'm on Facebook, I'm on TikTok.
23:42
Speaker 10: She's ninety and she said the only thing I'm not
23:44
Speaker 10: on is tinder. Oh wow, so big ups to hear.
23:47
Speaker 2: What an amazing woman. And what did she take as
23:50
Speaker 2: a gift in the end, Because what we spoke about.
23:51
Speaker 10: In front its high tea. I thought I'll take away
23:53
Speaker 10: voucher for high tea. Quite a few people said do
23:56
Speaker 10: some baking or something like that. So I gave it
23:58
Speaker 10: to her and she said, can I have a glass
24:01
Speaker 10: of bubbly with that? I thought, oh, get you, miss.
24:04
Speaker 2: She wants a cocktail. She sounds amazing. Happy birthday. What's
24:07
Speaker 2: her name?
24:07
Speaker 10: Her name's Selol so Llao.

25:33
Speaker 2: In just a few minutes. The tech breakdown on Friday.
25:36
Speaker 2: Was it a media beat up or a genuine crisis?
25:39
Speaker 2: Because Microsoft says only one percent of its computers were affected.
25:43
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in just a few seconds right now.
25:45
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray is with US our UK Europe correspondent Gavin
25:48
Speaker 2: Germany apparently foiling a suspected terror plot tell us about that.
25:53
Speaker 4: Good morning to you, Ryan. Yeah, I'm confirmed. But it
25:56
Speaker 4: is said that the days before the final of the
26:01
Speaker 4: Euros in which of course England football team were defeated
26:04
Speaker 4: by Spain two to one. It was last Sunday's big
26:07
Speaker 4: football showpiece. But it's now been claimed that in the
26:11
Speaker 4: days before that, police in Germany managed to foil a
26:15
Speaker 4: suspected terrorist plot by Islamic state. It was said that
26:19
Speaker 4: there was the potential to attack a fan zone, so
26:23
Speaker 4: where fans don't have tickets, they obviously go to a
26:25
Speaker 4: big screen in a big area, and it was said
26:27
Speaker 4: to be in Berlin's sprawling bright shiped flats. Thousands of
26:31
Speaker 4: supporters did gather there, but that was after three suspects
26:35
Speaker 4: had been detained by German special forces coordinated raids in
26:39
Speaker 4: the nearby Potsdam district, and it was said that of
26:44
Speaker 4: those it is thought that people were taking pictures on
26:47
Speaker 4: their phones of the area beforehand, so it said the
26:51
Speaker 4: men were known to Islamic were known as Islamic State
26:55
Speaker 4: supporters already to German surveillance and of course around Let's
26:58
Speaker 4: not forget all this before the Olympics starts in Paris
27:02
Speaker 4: amid very type security on Friday.
27:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a worry, isn't it. And I know
27:07
Speaker 2: I've got about forty five thousand police officers are going
27:11
Speaker 2: to be in the city for the opening ceremony. Let's
27:13
Speaker 2: go to Leeds riots and leads.
27:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Leeds, big city in Yorkshire, northeast of England,
27:20
Speaker 4: and when the local authority turned up with police in
27:25
Speaker 4: order to take some children away from one particular family.
27:29
Speaker 4: We don't have any more details, but obviously the authorities
27:31
Speaker 4: did not think the children were safe. All of a
27:34
Speaker 4: sudden they were surrounded by lots of other people thought
27:36
Speaker 4: to be from the Roma community, of which there is
27:39
Speaker 4: a large ethnic population of Roma in the Harehills district
27:44
Speaker 4: of Leeds. It led to some violence. Police were attacked
27:47
Speaker 4: with things being thrown at them, but also if police
27:50
Speaker 4: car was overturned, officers pelted as I mentioned, and a
27:54
Speaker 4: bus was set on fire. Well a man has now
27:56
Speaker 4: been charged with arson and violent disorder because of the bus,
27:59
Speaker 4: and five others have been arrested on suspicion and violent disorder.
28:04
Speaker 4: Lots of very good pictures on social media of those
28:07
Speaker 4: who were said to be the ringleaders, and the Home
28:09
Speaker 4: Secretary saying this was just absolutely audacious, senseless violence and
28:14
Speaker 4: it will not be allowed and the police are to
28:16
Speaker 4: take the full force of action against those that are
28:19
Speaker 4: found responsible. Conditions there still said to be very tense
28:23
Speaker 4: in the Ahals area as the children are still away
28:27
Speaker 4: from the family and the family say they want their
28:29
Speaker 4: children back. They've done nothing wrong.
28:31
Speaker 2: Gosh, it does sound like a very distressing situation. Kevin,
28:35
Speaker 2: thank you very much for your time. Kevin Gray, UK
28:38
Speaker 2: Europe correspondent with us this morning ten two.
28:40
Speaker 1: Six Ryan Bridge.
28:42
Speaker 2: Parts of the world came to a stop on Friday
28:44
Speaker 2: night when computer systems crashed, leaving people looking an error
28:47
Speaker 2: message known as the Blue Screen of Death. Flights were grounded,
28:51
Speaker 2: payment systems were down. Street lights in Levin were turned
28:54
Speaker 2: off just Levin or all the other places too. Presumably
29:00
Speaker 2: it was all caused by an update to Microsoft devices
29:03
Speaker 2: issued by the tech company crowd Strike, whose shares have
29:06
Speaker 2: since plummeted. It expert and Rush Digital founder done to abseria,
29:10
Speaker 2: is with me now? Done? A good morning?
29:12
Speaker 3: How do we go?
29:13
Speaker 2: They say that that this affected only one percent of
29:15
Speaker 2: Microsoft's computers, and yet it seems to have have had
29:18
Speaker 2: a huge impact on on you know, lots of different
29:22
Speaker 2: parts of the world.
29:24
Speaker 3: Why is that, Yeah, it's it's because a lot of
29:29
Speaker 3: server software, a lot of service systems actually support many
29:33
Speaker 3: many users. So the Microsoft Azure cloud was affected by this,
29:40
Speaker 3: which is why so many sort of online services went out.
29:43
Speaker 3: And if you think about banking servers, you know they
29:46
Speaker 3: might only have a couple of servers, but it serves
29:49
Speaker 3: their entire customer base, so you have if you take
29:52
Speaker 3: out a few of these machines they cause these kinds
29:54
Speaker 3: of outages.
29:55
Speaker 2: So that that statistic that they put out saying it
29:57
Speaker 2: so don't worry, it's only one percent, that actual it's
30:00
Speaker 2: not the full picture. Really.
30:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a bit of spin on that, right, Like
30:05
Speaker 3: they're not really talking about how many people it affected
30:07
Speaker 3: that that would be one set, right, Like they're just
30:10
Speaker 3: talking about purely computer systems, which I don't think is
30:13
Speaker 3: a really fair metric to be using that.
30:15
Speaker 2: Could it happen again? And could cyber criminals do exactly
30:19
Speaker 2: what they have done? I mean, if I was a
30:22
Speaker 2: cyber criminal, I'd be looking at what happened on Friday
30:24
Speaker 2: and I'd be thinking, right, how can I do that?
30:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's a it's a pretty interesting point. I
30:29
Speaker 3: think one thing that is I guess leaked is you know,
30:33
Speaker 3: the intelligence with the what they call intelligence, but basically
30:36
Speaker 3: cyber criminals knowing what kind of software you're running. It's
30:39
Speaker 3: kind of like knowing what kind of lock you've got
30:41
Speaker 3: on your door, and if there's a vulnerability about that lock,
30:44
Speaker 3: you know they're going to be using that. There have
30:46
Speaker 3: been reports of fishing and sort of cybersecurity scams already
30:52
Speaker 3: pretending to be you know, support staff from CrowdStrike and
30:56
Speaker 3: Microsoft and other vendors that were involved in the outage.
31:00
Speaker 3: So you're absolutely spot on, you know, to cyber criminals
31:02
Speaker 3: doing what cybercriminals do best. I guess. Yeah.
31:06
Speaker 2: And interestingly, China dodged a bullet on all of this
31:08
Speaker 2: because they don't use CrowdStrike.
31:11
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think that you'd probably refer to that
31:14
Speaker 3: as some kind of unintended side effect of not trusting
31:17
Speaker 3: American technology companies. But it does demonstrate, you know, there's
31:23
Speaker 3: definitely been a failure from CrowdStrike to properly test their
31:27
Speaker 3: software before sending it out. That's evident because if it
31:30
Speaker 3: affected eight point five million machines, it's really hard to
31:33
Speaker 3: believe that, you know, the test team couldn't reproduce it
31:35
Speaker 3: in their lab before releasing it. So I think crowdstrikes
31:39
Speaker 3: in for a world hurt in terms of lawsuits and liabilities.
31:42
Speaker 2: Absolutely, especially when you've got especially when you've got emergency
31:45
Speaker 2: services lines down as a result of it as well. Danu,
31:49
Speaker 2: thank you very much for your time this morning. Always
31:51
Speaker 2: appreciate your insight. That's done Abassiria. He's the IT expert
31:54

Speaker 1: news Talk, said be breaking news.
32:17
Speaker 2: And breaking news this morning. Joe Biden is stepping down
32:20
Speaker 2: as the Democratic presidential candidate. He says it's been the
32:24
Speaker 2: greatest honor of his life to serve as president, but
32:28
Speaker 2: that he is going to step aside from the ticket
32:31
Speaker 2: as the presidential candidate for the Democrats. This is news
32:35
Speaker 2: just breaking out of the United States right now. We're
32:37
Speaker 2: expecting to hear from Biden shortly. Mike Hoskins just walked
32:40
Speaker 2: in because he's about to start his show. Mike, you
32:42

32:44
Speaker 11: Yes, he'll be speaking later on this week because obviously
32:48
Speaker 11: he's isolating in deverworld and he's got to get back
32:50
Speaker 11: to Washington, and so the pressure's obviously got as we
32:53
Speaker 11: left on Friday, Pelosi, Schumer and Obama, it all got
32:57
Speaker 11: to him, and the money dried up, and there was
32:59
Speaker 11: a phone call over the weekend, I think yesterday with
33:02
Speaker 11: Harrison several hundred donors of the party were sort of
33:06
Speaker 11: being briefed on where this goes. So I'm assuming now
33:09
Speaker 11: it's I mean, they will go to the convention, presumably
33:12
Speaker 11: in Chicago. And but then the question is is it
33:15
Speaker 11: an open contest? Do they just give it to Harris
33:17
Speaker 11: anoint her.
33:18
Speaker 2: Well, they can't.
33:19
Speaker 11: They can't give it to her, I don't think because
33:21
Speaker 11: of the delegates. The delegates have pledged to vote for Biden,
33:25
Speaker 11: and so they've all been clear to pledge to vote
33:28
Speaker 11: for Biden. So I'm assuming it will be an open contest.
33:31
Speaker 11: But with the theory being that by the time Harris
33:33
Speaker 11: arrives there with whoever she takes with her, it's a
33:37
Speaker 11: done deal without it being a done deal, if you
33:40
Speaker 11: if you see what I mean, because the last thing
33:42
Speaker 11: they need now, of course, is to have a big scrap.
33:44
Speaker 2: A messy primary. But anyway, it's all on. It's getting
33:48
Speaker 2: exciting Monday. It is indeed, right there you go. That'll
