• 1:57
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Light After Five and Views you Trust to start your day.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's early edition with Bryan Bridge and One Room Love
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: where you Live news talks.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I'd be nine. Two is the number text Trevor.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I will have that update you've requested via text on
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: their Wiwiker gorgeon just a few moments for you. First,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: there are two reasons I reckon voters are going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: be put off Winston Peters. And I know you shouldn't
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: say that because he's the man of the moment and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: everybody loves Winston. But there are two reasons I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that by the time we get to the election that
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: people might be put off Winston Peters. Two reasons, not
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: necessarily that they will be, but that they could be.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: One is the idea he might go with Labor. As
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I've said from day one, I don't think he will,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: but I also don't know that he won't. Can't trust
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that he won't. Two, and this is more material, is
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: his actual politics, which are quite interventionist, aren't They Look
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: at the Growth Fund money he and Shane like to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: splash around, splash the cash around the region, some of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it for all good cause, some of it not.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They've told out hundreds of millions to businesses and other
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: projects under both Labor and national governments, and according to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: The Herald this morning, more than half of Crown Regional
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Holding's loan book. That's the company that deals with it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: More than four hundred million bucks worth considered at risk
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: of or is currently in default. Now, some of this
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: is long term stuff and you won't get the money
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: back straight away. And you can tell that by the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: fact that just ten percent of about three hundred and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: sixty odd million in Provincial Growth Fund money that was
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: loan since the start of Jacinda's term has so far
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: been paid back, just ten percent. Now, some of these
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: will be decent investments that I'm sure will pay off
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: over time, but many of them will not. And the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: question is should political parties be picking economic winners? Are
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they any good at it? This is not a day
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: at the races, for good essakes, This is big bucks.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's our money that they're spending. Is this what we
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: think governments ought to be doing. Clearly lots of voters
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: do think so. The private sector hasn't exactly been jumping
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in to refloat the economy. The banks cop it rightly
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: from farmers and rural folks for not stumping up with
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the cash to invest. But that doesn't mean political parties
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and states should do it. And then when they do
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that they pick the winning thoroughbred pry and Bridge. Ten
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: minutes after five, we will get to San fran On
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl for the wire worker Gorge very quickly.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: So George was asking this morning have you got the
• 4:30

  Speaker 2: Gisban lawn bowlers apparently returning to Gisbon from lots to

  Speaker 2: do today and wonder which way to go home to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: get there safely. Well, I can tell you that three
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: weeks of intensive work have led to a breakthrough and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they're going to be doing convoys. So the convoys will stip,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: they'll do one from each side. There'll be three a day.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you what time they are Trevor?
• 5:00

• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Trevor nine am, one pm and seven pm today Bryan Bridge.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Fourteen after five Super Bowl Sunday in the US, the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: New England Patriots taking on the Seattle Seahawks twelve thirty
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: pm our time at Levi Stadium and Bad Bunny is
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the halftime show performing. We've spoken about him a few
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: times already. Ben Harlem is cyrus XM radio host at
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He's going to be there today, Ben, Welcome to the show.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: Hi mate, how are you yah?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Really good? Thank you?
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: So?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: How is she looking?
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty good. I've been practicing my Spanish to try
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: and understand bad Bunny. The hype is real. There's a
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: lot of people that are driven down from Seattle down
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: here to San Francisco, so they're very excited to see
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: a win.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a good game. Is there an
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: obvious favorite?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Seattle has been the best team this season, so they're
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: about like a five points favorite at the moment. It
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: seems like a lot of the money and the gambling
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: is going towards them. But we've seen with the Patriots
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: and when Tom Brady used to play with them over
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: the past ten or three years that they always can
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: pull off these miraculous victories. So they're going to see
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: if they can do it again with a whole different
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: team this time now.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Last year it was all about Taylor and Travis Kelsey.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Is there still as much excitement around it this year.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: There's been a real lot of celebrities around this year
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: in the lead up. Noah Kahan, who's an up and
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: coming singer that's making big waves in the music industry
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: was doing concerts. Olivia Dean that I know has taken
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: New Zealand by storm, was doing a bunch of concerts.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Green Day has been added to the pre match entertainment.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: The equivalent in terms of Taylor is probably Cardi b
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: who is dating Stefan Diggs from the Patriots, so she
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: is going to be the one that the camera is
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: going to be focusing on on all the big plays
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: for the Patriots as the Taylor equivalent this year.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Where will you be watching it from? Ben?
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: I'm lucky enough to go to the game, which is
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: very excited you are. I am in the Yeah, I'm
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: in the nosebleeds, so don't get too jealous. So I
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: will have the binoculars out. But it will be a
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: great atmosphere, brilliant.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Look forward to it. Ben, appreciate your time this morning.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Ben Harlem, who's Cyrus XM radio host with us. He'll
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: be there at twelve thirty pm our time, just gone
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: sixteen minutes after five. Now it's they claim the most
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: watched television event, well the last three they say them
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: being the most watched television events in the world since
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the moon landing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You know I'm thinking is that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So this morning had a quick look because is that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: based on, you know, as a percentage of the world's population,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: because obviously there are more of us now and we
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: have more TVs.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Is it just eyeballs?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They don't really clarify, but I had a look at
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: some of the most watched global TV events by population percentage.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So here is apparently your top five. Paris Summer Olympics
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: twenty four they reckon five billion or eighty four percent
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of the population of the world. Now that's not just
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in TV though, that's also on your smartphones. Are Beijing
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Summer Olympics two thousand and eight four point seven billion
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: seventy percent the fee for World Cup. This is in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: cut out twenty twenty two, five billion sixty three percent.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Live Aid nineteen eighty five that was one and a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: half to one point nine billion, forty percent. So basically,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: if you're at the Olympics, or you're playing football, or
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you happened to have a very popular charity concert in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five, all land on the moon, you're doing well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Eighteen after five News Talks ZB Andrew Here next.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The first Word on the News of the Day Early
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one roote love where you Live,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: News talks'.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: B news TALKSZB it is five twenty, so more evidence
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: adding to the cash of evidence, the weight of evidence
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that suggests that Epstein was actually just a spy. This
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is my theory anyway. But the question is I was
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: debating with a friend of the weekend. Was his spy
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: for the Russians or was he spy for Mosshead? Because
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: those are basically your options, aren't they. So he was
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a meeting, this has come from CNN this morning, was
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: meeting as part of his emails, meeting a lot with
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the guy Cherkin, who was the Russian ambassador to the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: United Nations, so was based in New York. So he
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and Epstein spent a lot of time together in New York.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of emails going back and forth
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: between them. And what he tried Epstein tries to do
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is get in touch with Lavrov foreign minister, and also
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: try to get in touch with Putin through Churkin. Now
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Churkin dies suddenly, you wonder, why don't you when the
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Russians are involved? But he dies suddenly, and then he
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: goes around him and tries to get to the higher
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: ups now he gives information because yes he's a fixer,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: he gets the girls whatever, that's what's alleged. But also
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: so he sort of spills the beans on other wealthy people,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: on other influential people, on other politicians and people of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: power and influence. And so he was telling this Russian
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: ambassador a whole bunch of stuff. Now what the fine
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a spy?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: You know? The fine at Spy five.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Bridge, rich Andrew Orison is he's been watching the lot
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: of spyte not a spy, confirm that, but you do
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: share a lot of information about sport with us. Let's
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: start with the Olympics, the Winter Olympics, and he's in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: n as An action today.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I haven't got quite the treasure trove of
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Epstein filest for you, but we've got Lucia George Arli,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: and we've also got Zoey Sadowski Cynet of course, the
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Olympic champion. They're in the snowboard big Air. They're going
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: to be qualifying today, So that's going to be I
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: guess the New Zealand element to it. I guess from
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: a well perspective. Lindsey Vaughn crashing out of the downhill
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: of course I found that absolutely. I was in disbelief
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: that she was going to compete having been ruptured, not
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: on compare myself to Linday Vonn, but having rupted the
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: left acl that just nine days ago she was going
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: to be in that downhill so apparently lasted just over
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: ten seconds and then she was airlifted off in excruciating pain.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: And the other knee was completely rebuilt. Anyway, what she's
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: been through.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: The Ringer really forty one years old, Yeah, I mean,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: incredible career though, Lindsey Vonn. I mean, and I had
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: the pleasure of actually watching it, going to Vancouver in
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: twenty ten and seeing her in the downhill, and yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: she was the business. So I mean, they just go
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: at incomprehensible speeds, right, I'd say, you're down those slopes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Not the great speed for their knee.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Nice, No, it would be excruciating.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Now the Black Cats, how's that looking.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I think they've done incredibly well. Actually they've chased it's
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: their highest chase at a T twenty World Cup one
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: eighty three against Afghanistan, of course, nemesis from last World
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Cup in the Caribbean, Afghanistan winning that in twenty twenty
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: four New Zealand. That's the key match to win and
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: what could be a tricky pool. They've got some afrige
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: there as well. Only two teams out of the five
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: to go through. New Zealand also got matches against Canada
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: and the UAE to come. They should win those, but
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: a really measured chase after losing a couple of wickets early.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: And yeah, they're just all contributed there in the middle
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: and lower order. In Tim Seifet leaving the way as
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: an opener sixty five from forty two.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Deliveries brilliant and your thoughts, I mean, on a scale
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: of one to ten, Andrew, how excited for the Super
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Bowl are you?
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: I'm about a seven. I do get excited for the
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. I think it's a one off event. It's
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: more the whole extravaganza. For me, it's just the spectacular,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: you know, hot dogs, burgers, whatever. Bunny and yeah, he'll
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: hop on stage, no doubt at half time and give
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: us a good show. I'm not too familiar with the
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: the I guess the trove of material of Bad Bunny,
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: but we'll find out as it goes on.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you might be a bit more up
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: with it. Not even McKenzie knows much about it. We're
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: like three different generations.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: He's I'm edited to nail a Hispanic community as in
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: California and things that it should be and and what
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: is it a green Day performing as well at some
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: stage there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant, Yeah, American idiot.

  Speaker 3: Andrew always appreciate you. Roll this morning.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It is twenty four minutes after five. Actually I've got
• 14:17

  Speaker 2: after when we come back, or talk about interest rates,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: which will be you know what it will be. And
• 14:23

• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish did a speech at the Grammys

• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I was having a good old debate with a mate
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: at the weekend about interest rates, because we're both at
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the age where mortgages are unfortunately a thing in Auckland,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: quite a big and annoying thing. Now, this made of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: mine knows a bit more about the stuff than I do.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Watches the markets very closely for his job, and he's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: worried about the middle of the year. Potentially this recovery,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: that's what we're going to officially call it, yet coming
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: to a bit of a standstill or an abrupt holt.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: We've spoken before about elections putting the kai bosh on growth,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: but people hold back weak to see what happens. We've
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: spoken about Bill English's comments about our recovery, unlike across
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the Ditch coming in spite of a rebound in house prices.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: In Australia, everything's hot, the weather, house prices, inflation, growth, employment,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: everything's just hot, hot, hot. It's lightly on a different
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: hemisphere to us. There was a good podcast talking about
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: some of this of interest. It's called with the Westpac Economists. Now,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the RBA's rate is now three point eight five percent
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: ours two point twenty five. It's been about fifteen years
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: since there has been such a mass gap between the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: two of them. We usually cycle closer together most of
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the time, but we've drifted apart to the point where
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: one is so far over the hill we actually can't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: see each other anymore. This is all by design, of course.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: We have been way more aggressive engineered the recession to
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: crash inflation. They went a lot softer to take into
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: account employment. They have a dual mandate. The Coalition got
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: rid of ours. The Aussies are our upping rates again
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: because their inflation is taking off again. Ours has a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: mild case of fever, but nothing like their is sitting
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: at nearly four percent.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: The question anyone thinking about this stuff with a mortgage
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: is asking themselves is this, would you swallow a bit
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of inflation to have an economy that's actually firing? In
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: other words, in future, would you rather this was handled
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the Aussie way or the Kiwi way? And crucially, can
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: our economy kick back in together without its usual rocket
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: fuel runaway house prices? Ryan Bridge twenty nine minutes after

  Speaker 2: Hey, Good morning, twenty four minutes away from six on
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: your Monday. Coming up before Sex, we'll talk Wellington water.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: It's not Wellington that that's problem now, though it's putty
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: to it. Also from Beyond the Grave Epstein claiming more scalps.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: This time it is Starmer's chief of staff resigning over it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Links to Epstein through Mandelso notions say, we'll have more
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: on that from our UK Corey. That's coming up at
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: quarter two this morning, and our reporter's obviously standing by,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: but very quickly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: You know. I like talking about taka Ichi.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: This is the Japanese Prime minister, very very smart woman,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: very smart politician. I call her the Judith Collins of
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Japanese politics because she sort of represents the same things
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: been around there. A long time conservative of the party
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: in a conservative party, who is straight talking, straight shooting.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: She's a China Hawk and doesn't take any prisoners. Plays
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the drums. If you haven't seen, you know you don't
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: much watch much Japanese politics, you would have surely seen
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: her playing the drums. She's a fan of hard metal.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: So what she did was take a punt.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: She came in and she.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Goes right, got herself to the leadership and goes right,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I am going to call a snap election middle of winter,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: snow is falling. You don't do that three months into
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the job, calls a snap election. Brilliant decision. She just
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: goes bam straight into it, and people love her, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: people love it, and they love the direction. She's winning
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: by a landslide this morning, winning so handsomely. That two
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: thirds majority is what she's winning right now in the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Lower House, giving her an overwhelming control of the Chamber
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and the ability to overall the smaller Upper House to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: push through her agenda. So great, congratulations, Tucker. She's so far,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: so good. What's more interesting is the LDP, that's her
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: party alone, is winning a majority now. They haven't won
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a majority in more than a decade of politics. They've
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: had to do coalition deals, so they will still do one,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: but they may not need to, which is fascinating after
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: just three months in office. Look at what a bit
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of gumption, a bit of I suppose it's risk take
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: link risk taking and gambling can do well, it can
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: pay off two twenty two to six. Let's go to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Callum and duned and Callum, good morning morning. Right now
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: you've got to form a mayor throwing his hat in
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the ring for this by election.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, this is Aaron Hawkins. So he's confirmed that he
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: will contest the seat left faken by Jiles Raddick, who
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: died unexpectedly in January. Hawkins served nine years on the
• 20:28
  Speaker 9: Denedon City Council, that was from twenty thirteen to twenty two.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: Three of those were as mayor before losing out to Radick.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: So Hawkins says he's standing this time to provide strong
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: leadership and pushback against the government's rates capping proposals and
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: regional reorganization reforms. And Aaron Hawkins joins former city councilors
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: Bell Ackland and Conrad Steadman in the race for this
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: by election.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Goodness me right, how's your weather? It's fine today? Some
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: evening cloud in eighteen. Nice one. Thanks Callum Claire and
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: christ take Claire clear.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Good morning Rounli like you not to be there. You're
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: always on time and ready to go now. Confidence teething
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: issues that this new metro sports seemed to have been
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: ironed out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Yes, well, a confidence from the mayor. At least we
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: know that more than one hundred and sixty incidents were
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: reported at Pardo Ky all day in its first month.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Thirty three of those incidents involved at the very popular hydraslides.
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Mayor film Major tells us that he himself experienced some
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: difficulty when he was trying the trap door slide. He
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: says there was not enough water for him moving down
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: the pipe, but staff have since increased the water flow.
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: There's also been incidents with the car parking. About two
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: thousand people copped some tickets. Basically they hadn't put their
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: car regio into the machine despite being eligible for free parking.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: The mayor says, look, the parking terms were not well signposted.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Council has waived the tickets for those people that did
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: have a good excuse, and new signage is also being installed.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: He says that otherwise the feedback on the so that
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: he has been largely positive despite these teething problems.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So Phil tried to get in a hydroslide and got stuck.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Got a bit stuck here, not enough water, So.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: How did he get out? Did they have to increase
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: that wiley the pace Wiley was in there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: I'll get an investigative reporter onto that today for you.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's some footage, some video footage of it that
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: would be That would be fantastic site. Yeah, how's your
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: weather cloudy?
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: There is the chance of a shower a bit later.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Easterly is developing this afternoon in twenty one.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Maxim mantin Hay, Max, there's still
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: questions about the sewage lake.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is a we're talking about the more point one.
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: It was just a stunning white hagy weekend in Wellington
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: here and no one on the beaches, the smell of
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: sewage wafting around the airport parts of the coast. We
• 22:44
  Speaker 11: have been told you likely won't be able to go
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: into the water for months and we might need some
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: money to pay for it as well. The council's already
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: in debt. We've got Meytor Andrew Little speaking with the
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: Prime Minister. Today they're still cleaning the plant. This week,
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: untreated sewage was being sent out in the tens of
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: millions of literas every day. Now it's screened wastewater, so
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: not wipes, not sanitary products, that sort of thing. We're
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: still trying to figure out how to stop the rot
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: at more point, and also what the hell went wrong.
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: There were already calls from an independent inquiry, although I'm
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: not sure we need an inquiry to tell us just
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: how much of a shambles Wellington Water has been run
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: in the past few years, but I'm sure it would
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: tell us the exact same thing again.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I had the most incredible interview on Thursday
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: with the head of Wellington Water. I just couldn't believe
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the woods. I mean, it was very honest actually about
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: just how bad it is and how the entire control room,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: all the electronics covered in water and faces right now.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: Well, I think he's probably he's probably not been there
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: long enough that you could blame this on him. It's
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: definitely a long running issue and he's trying to figure
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: it out.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: How's your winner?
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, fine, Like Wednesday afternoon Sea Breeze is twenty two.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you morning, never good morning, Yeah.

• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Gamble has paid off for her. While the agenda is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: quite simple, fix the economy, she's actually going to be

  Speaker 2: spending quite a bit of money there. Fix the economy,
• 25:22

• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the UK, McSweeney, this is a star That's chief of
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: staff has resigned, joining us as Mike Pearson now UK
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Europe Correspondent Mike the latest.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, and this is going to be for secure Starmer.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: He's facing the most challenging week of his leadership so far.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: There are calls for his resignation of possible voter no
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: confidence also coming as well. Now, all this follows the
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: admission that he gave Lord mandelssroon the job of UK
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: ambassador to the United States. That was in spite of
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: knowing that he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: in that breaking news in the last couple of hours,
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: morgam at Sweeney is his name. He's Starmer's chief of
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: staff has resigned. He's an affect his right hand man.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: He says he takes full responsibility for advising the Prime
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Minister to appoint Mandelsson's as a US ambassador last year,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: a decision he now says is wrong. He says it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: damaged the ruling Labor Party, the country and trust in politics.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: The story here is exploding, I can tell you now
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: it comes as a new pol Reville. Starmer has the
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: support of fewer than one in five people in the country.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Now even some of his own MP's are now saying
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: it's only a matter of time before he pays the price.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Now Rayner, who was former deputy now beckbin to she's
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: sort of saying I didn't think mandelsh was a good idea,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: and Lemmy also saying that as well. So do you
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: think Stalmer's day is a number or Kenny survived something
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: like this by umping mcswainey.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, we've got a whole load of documents.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Last week the government has said it would release a
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: whole load of documents that would sort of say one
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: more or the other, who said what and whatever. I
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: think the real challenge at the moment is there's not
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: another leader in waiting. That will be a quite a
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: long process. But you know, we do expect that potentially
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: there will be a challenge. This is Dorris is not
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: going to go away. It's in the news. Mandelson's home
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: was sort of raided on Friday last week with big
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: boxes taken away. This story is so big here that
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: there is some doubt as to just how long Starmer
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: can stay. And if the opposition parties call a vod
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: of no confidence, would some of the labor MPs actually
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: vote with them, because some of them actually have come out,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: you know, both privately and public to say that they
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: don't think Starmer's really is doing a great job here.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: So it's a bit of a wait and see. But
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: you can't rule anything.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Up all right, Mike.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: We've covered the good of the Olympics this morning earlier
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: on but you've got the bear in the Agli Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: There have been some ugly scenes as riot police clashed
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: with demonstrators. Police use tear gas and water can in
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: the land to end that protest. A number of arrests
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: were made. Now. It came as around ten thousand people
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: protested overclaims the games were damaging the environment and concerns
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: over the cost of living. Some released fireworks and through
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: stones at police as well. Meanwhile, officials are basically investigating
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: sabotage on Italy's railway network, halting key lines. Now this
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: led to people unable to get to the games on time.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Cables would cut. An investigation into that is underway, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: in another development, yet another appeal to stop spectators booing
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: the American athletes has been made for a second time.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: The appeal was ignored at the opening ceremony. I don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: think we quite heard it because of the microphones being
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: close up to the action, but definitely did happen. Of course,
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: that's over the use of ice immigration officers sent over
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: to help to protect those from the United States taking part.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: So you know, some good news from the mails in
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: picking in terms of what the athletes are doing, but
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: on the air some ugly scenes as well, so not
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: particularly good if you're in the.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Lane, appreciate that. Mike psa UK europe correspondent.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure how if you are protesting about
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: its effect on the environment, how firing off fireworks and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: stopping public transport is.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Going to help you cause. But there you go. It
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: does tend to six rain Bridge the smell.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: From the sewage and Wellington could be about to get
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a whole lot worse now. Wellington Water is battling a

  Speaker 3: What's going on there?
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Ryan. It was a very minor discharge for
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: a manhold and the pumps backing up and going off sequence.
• 29:40
  Speaker 12: So they reset the pumps and it's all back to
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: normal and there was very little overflow, so heaven had
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: to do anything else. They've put some safeguards in place
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: around the pump in case there's there is, but at
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: the moment it's all running perfect normal.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Now does the fact that Wellington's have having a crap
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of a time at the moment with mile point does
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: that affect you guys now that everybody's all joined up
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: or going to be joined.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Up with water?
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: Well in the long run, taki why takes over all
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: of the infrastructure because we will move over in July,
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: and it just proves that we're all underinvested for a
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: very very long time. So I'm sure we'll see more
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: of these sort of sort of things happening. You know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: all our pumps and our pipes need replacing, so it's
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: just more infrastructive being than getting on with them.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: So what did you call it? So piggy why?
• 30:34
  Speaker 12: Paki why? Piki why?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Water?

  Speaker 12: pak water.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Metro okay, metro why And that's the regional water body
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: in your area. So from July you're all in cahoots
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and presu so and this mile point thing, I mean
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: that space that they won't be getting that fixed and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: under control by then, So that means you'll all I mean,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: do you do you feel do you look at and think, oh,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have to pay for their spell,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: but you will.
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: I look at that and think, well that could have
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: been me. You know, we all have it all round
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: the region, so regionally we're discussing amalgamation. So if it's
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: all on the table down here at the moment, we've
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: all got the same.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Problem, same problems, and everyone's going to help pay for them.

• 31:59
  Speaker 3: how much hasn't being paid back?
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: Well, obviously, but the other part was that the people
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: who run it can't get the numbers together to meet
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: their deadline for the audit to teach year. And so
• 32:09

• 32:14
  Speaker 13: of money from Shane can't get hold and I don't
• 32:16
