  Speaker 2: Devin Gray are UK correspondents with us.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, Kevin Hiver, Heavakevin.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Does it sound like you guys actually might be sorting
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: out this problem with the Chinese electric vehicles and all
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the tariffs and stuff.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: It's looking a lot more positive than it had been.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Of course, America has raised its tariff on Chinese electric
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: cars from twenty five percent to one hundred percent last month.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: That you have threatened up to thirty eight percent for
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: air vehicles imported into the European Union. They claim the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Chinese government is effectively subsidized in their production. The Chinese
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: then threatened that something similar back. It's not popular among
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: some politicians in Germany, in particular with a big manufacturing base.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's not popular indeed in the industry. But after a
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: phone call over the weekend, it looks like talks are
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: actually going to happen to try and resolve the matter.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: There were no firm progress on this yet.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Now, what happened with the wolves in the park near Pera, Y.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, were a great question. So a woman has been
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: attacked by wolves. Now, the thirty six year old victim
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: was staying at a lodge within something called Tiori Park
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: now that is an animal park near Paris, and it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: looked like that she stayed there in accommodation overnight and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: then strayed into the main safari zone, which is only
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: reserved for cars to go through animal enclosures. And she
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: went early in the morning for a job while within
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: moments she was set upon by three Arctic wolves. Suffered
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: severe bites to her neck, back and leg and the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: trip to hospital of course an intensive care I wasn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: far behind. We haven't yet got a condition check on her.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: We don't know why she went into a car only zone,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: whether she didn't see the symbols or the signs, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: investigation is underway. But obviously a pretty unpleasant attack.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Hey, so what about Elton John, I who's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: he giving all this money to charity to?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Well mostly of course, I think it probably adds
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: up to his AIDS foundation. But al John is the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: most generous celebrity in the UK. According to a new survey.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: He donates, believe it or not, six thousand New Zealand
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: dollars to charities every hour of every day. He does,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: of course, have a billion New Zealand dollar fortune, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: he dishes out roughly one hundred and sixty thousand New
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Zealand dollars a day to charityle have causes close to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: his heart. It works out at the staggering fifty eight
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: million New Zealand dollars a year. Incidentally, he's not alone.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: He is pushed very very closely by JK. Rowling, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: author of Harry Potter, into second place. And then the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton is third. Lord Alan Sugar,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: who of course is a big magnet over here in
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: industry fourth, and Lord Andrew Lloyd, whether the composer of
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: so many musicals, is in fifth. However, as generous as
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: that all may seen, they are absolutely dwarfed by one
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: or two. In the world of banking, an investment banker
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: here called Sir Chris Hein has donated a massive amount
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: of money over the last few years, estimated to be
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: some at one point two billion New Zealand dollars a year.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, how good is that? You got to love that stuff, Gevin,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Talking to you in a couple
• 3:20
