  Speaker 2: they can reach. Basically they might find an American in
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the region.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: It's been pretty scary. Actually, we were hearing pretty loud
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: explosions in the sky and high of smoke above where
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: we're staying, which we later learned were obviously possibly ballistic missiles.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Now Iran has said that it's fired missiles at the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: USS Abraham Lincoln, that's their aircraft carrier in the region.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We told you it was there last week. The US

  Speaker 2: The statement yesterday that was put out by Chris Chris
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Luxen and Winston Peters has been condemned by the Elders
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and Helen Clark. We'll talk about that later on, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the justification that's been given by Trump and then whether
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we're I mean, most people probably won't care so much
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about that, but they will care a hell of a
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: lot about the price of oil. I can tell you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that much. The Strait of Umus, which is the very
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: vital route where you get a lot of all a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: lot of gas through twenty to thirty percent of the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: world's supply. So the Ranians have said we'll shut it down,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and they haven't officially shut it down, but apparently if
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you're driving a tanker through there at the moment, there
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: will be a VHF something in your ear that says, hey,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: get out of here. Some tanker owners are already stopping shipments.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Do we need to watch? This is something we should
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be across this morning. Probably we'll ask Nikola Willis about
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: all of that. Of course she's on the program talking
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: about a bunch of other stuff. We can ask her
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: about that too. Also something concerning for you this morning
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: about WhatsApp. If you use WhatsApp, do you know it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: owned by Meta and do you know what they're taking
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: from your what I think most people would assume a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: private messages. We'll talk about that too. Nine after five.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on your radio and online on Iheard Radio
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you Live News Talks.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: The'd been eleven after five. Good morning to you. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: IPSOCE Issues Monitor is out for February. So this was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: taken a thousand people, taken just after White Tongue weekend.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So you've got your top five issues people care about
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in New Zealand. Inflation costs a living way out ahead
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: still and labor is number one on that. Healthcare, hospitals,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: labor number one on that. The economy, labor and national
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: draw house prices and housing, labor, crime, law and order,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: national so on three out of the four of the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: five laborer is in charge. On one nationalism charge and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: on the other it's a dead heap, Brian. Good news
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: for farmers this morning. Government's allowing them to use their
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: can we savored by their first home or farm. Previously
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you miss out because you have to live in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: property while work requires you to stay in some employer housing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Not just farmers wh will benefit. By the way, Nicola,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: what is the finance minster with us this morning? Mister,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Ryan. Hey, before we get to this,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: have you had any updates from officials anything to worry
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: about with the Middle East? You know read the economy
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: re oil.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Yes, I have had briefings from the Treasury. So at
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: this stage, because we don't know the duration and the
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: scale of what's happening in the Middle East. That's too
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: early to properly assess the economic impacts. Of course, what
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: we'll be watching today is what happens with the price
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: of oil, which of course could be impacted by the
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: disruption and the structure, and that obviously has implications for
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: inflation and economic activity. So we will be watching that closely,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: and that and also for any possible supply chain impacts
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: for our exporters. And then in due course as the unfolds,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: there will be the question of whether it has an
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: impact on overall global economic growth, which of course always
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: has implications for New Zealand.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Lots of risks there for US then, and these the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Golf Cooperation Council that together there are six largest export markets.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. And of course what we saw during
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the last strikes on around last Journe was that initially
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: you saw it or prices spike in the morning, they
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: came down by the evening. You saw initial disruption and
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: markets and then eventually actually the SMP the cupboard. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: of course this is a very different event and so
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: it's difficult to predict what we'll see over the next
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: twenty four hours.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Do you want the Americans to stop? Do you want
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: these rallies to stop?
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Well, of course New Zealand always calls for diplomatic engagement.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: In this case, we do want to see the leftover
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: regime in Iran engaging in diplomatic.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Talks, right, So we do want that. We do want
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the Americans to stop bombing and the Israelies to stop
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: bombing and to start talking. That is our position.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Well, we join the international community and wanting this crisis
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: to end as quickly as possible. So we don't want
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: the regional escalation. We want a resumption of negotiations. We
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: want adherents international law, and we're urging the Iranian leadership
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: to seek a negotiated solution.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Are you urging the same of Trump?
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Obviously, negotiation requires both sides.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's go to talk about the key we saver changes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: This is great for farming, not just farmers, though, I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: want to make clear it's basically anyone who has to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: work live somewhere else for their job.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Well, it's people typically in rural communities. Because if you're
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: a teacher at a remote school, if you're a police
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: officer and a remote community. Often the reality of your
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: workers that your employer provides you a house close to
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: that workers, and often the case for people working on farms.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: And what that has meant is many rural workers are
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: locked out of using the key. We save a provision
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: by which you can use your savings to buy a house,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: and our viewers, if you're working hard to get ahead,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: the fact that you have to live where your workers
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: shouldn't exclude you from getting on the property ladder.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many might actually take it up?
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Well, it's difficult to estimate because we don't have the
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: number of service tendancies on farms. There are thousands of
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: farms and many many workers have a servants tendency. In
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: terms of government employees, we know that there are around
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: eight hundred defense personnel living in service tendancies, about two
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: hundred education personnel, two hundred police, about five hundred health workers.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll see we would get to with that. Hey,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: what the IPSOS issues monitor I mentioned at the start
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of this interview. How can you labor be ahead of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you on cost of living even though inflation is lower
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and interest rates are coming down? Is this a sales
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: job that you're not getting across well.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I just think the cost of living has been and
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: is so tough on people because they've gone through several
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: years in which inflation was really high, prices spiked up
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: really high, and the reality is that while incomes have
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: been rising, they haven't caught up with those price rises yet.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: So every aquas are funding it tough when they go
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: to the supermarket, when they fill up at the tank.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So the fail marks fear, the fail marks fear well.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: I think the reality is people are really feeling the
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: cost of living. The question that the election should center
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: on is what is the plan for addressing that, And
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: our commitment as the government has been you've got to
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: keep the basics right, spending and inflation under control. You've
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: got to make sure you do that or will go
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: back to the big inflation spikes we head under Labor.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not hearing any solutions from Labor yet. I get
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that it's a major issue. It's the big issue people
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: raised with me that The question is what would later do?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: I think that'd make it worse.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Right, But you're still spending more than grant though, aren't you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Well not as a proportion of the economy. We've reduced
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: spending the proportion of the economy while investing in the
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: frontline services that kewais.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Really very quickly on supermarkets. I heard that Tesco didn't
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: have a meeting with you last year. Are we going
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to get anything out of these RFIs you would asked
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for a year ago.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Well, the RFIs were directly what resulted, and the changes
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: we have made to the fast track legislation for SIS markets,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: to the building content requirements for SUS markets, the digital
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: labeling trialing trial we're embarking on those are all direct
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: feedback from the RFI. I'm as disappointed as anyone else.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: But the international players don't seem interested in coming to
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: the New Zealand market. The reality is we've got none
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: of them very big incumbents. Well in terms of.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You've made the changes, you've got the you've made the changes,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: none of them want to come. I mean it is,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: But isn't it just because we're too small and far away?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: You know it was never going to happen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Well, actually, what we do see is we've got a
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: market where you've got two really dominant players in the
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: North and South Island, and that makes it a difficult
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: market to enter. Profitably and so we are seeing some
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: expansion occurring Costco's indicated interest in that expansion. We are
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: seeing some new Zealand operated grocery providers with plans to
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: do more in the future. We want to encourage that,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: we want to support that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: All right, minis to appreciate your time this morning. Thanks
• 10:51

  Speaker 2: Now it's time for Andrew Ordison the Sport Morning.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Andrew Greeting's Ryan.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So a lot to get through, big weekend. But Daniel
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Hillier he had to say the second best day off.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's called the correct answer. Yeah, I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: so too, well as it would be.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, eight days after getting married and he's won
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: the New Zealand golf O and you know it's been
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: a rarity in recent times when the last was Michael
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Henry in twenty seventeen and Danielhilly has gone and done this.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's been a terrific form on the European too,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: almost getting a PGA Tour card last year and just
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: well leading the way there, had you know, in close
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: contact with Lucas Herbert across that final around both getting
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: sixty seven's, but Hillia holding on and I just know
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: from having covered that tournament and on that greens it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: quite the amphitheater at the end. There's a lot of
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: pressure and he's done extremely well to get those parts
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: in and take it out.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Very cool. He's got a happy wife and very happy
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: life at the moment.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Wait, yes, and it's it's just a be a wonderful
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: occase of but tially down there yesterday, but it's a
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: great occasion that New Zealand open and looks like it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: been showcased again.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Well another great occasion the two twenty World Cups. We're
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: facing South Africa New.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: It's going to face soth Africa now yes in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: semi finals of course to the African home against Zimbabwe,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: but we've also going to the match at the moments,
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: so India against West Indies that's going to decide that
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: second semi final against England. Last I saw I think
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: India ninety two for two in the tenth over, so
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: about halfway there towards a total of one ninety six
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: against the West Indies to see who will be that opponent.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: But if it wasn't India would be quite a turn
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: up for the box. Really no subcontinental team making the
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: semi finals on the sub continent, so that would be
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: a bit of a rarity. But we'll see what happens there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: But New Zealand well getting there in the end, so
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: of course Pakistan unable to alter the course of New
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Zealand going through those last war.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Now to Vegas, loads of famous people, their loads of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: action and fun from the Crowns. How was the actual
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: Well, thriller thriller to finish, I mean the Bulldog's getting
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: home in double overtime against the Dragons with the drop
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: golf from Stephen Crichton, and yeah, I mean RL they're
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: doing this well and they really want This is the
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: third year and I think going to Vegas for their
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: opening round, they're really trying to showcase it. Make it
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: this real circus every time.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Dravaganza.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Extravaganza, Yeah that's the one. But they're getting punters along
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: and just trying to build the game, et cetera. And
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: it looks like quite the fun event, I must say
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: from a distance.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't know what it would actually be
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: like being there. How much sleep anybody's getting?
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's that's Vegas for your and you, thank you,
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Andrew Ortison was sport for you.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty three minutes after five. Now Susan has texted, well,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it's it's not Susan. I think it's an example about
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a Susan. But this is about the key we saver changes. Ryan.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: What about Susan who lives in Hamton, but all of
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a sudden her job has up and relocated to Auckland.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: She can't obviously buy a house there because house prices
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: an Auckland. Third, why can't you buy a house with
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a kiwisaver and live out of town? It is a
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: good question. This change that they've made only applies to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: basically service workers who are required to live somewhere. Like
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: if you work for the Defense Force or you're a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: farmer and you're required to live in a certain place
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: and a certain house as part of the job, then
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you can use your kW saver to buy a house
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: somewhere else, but it won't apply to individual people like you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: For example here okay of Susan. Unfortunately nine two nine two.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We'll look more into that IPSOS poll. Next News TALKSB
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the early.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: News TALKSB is twenty six minutes after five. We have
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a new issues poll out this morning tells you what
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the issues are people actually care about. It's from IPSOS
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: people taken after White Thing and weekends. That's for February.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: The numbers are bad for National because they should be
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: winning on more of the issues, but Luxon won't hate
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: them because they're going in the right direction on a
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: few of the key ones. Significant increase their words not mine.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Significant increase on the cost of living for National after
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a period of trending in the wrong direction. Another significant
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: increase on healthcare and hospitals for National, closing the gap
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: from nineteen to twelve points since October, with Labour so
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: still behind but catching up, and after being overtaken on
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the economy, they've come back to basically draw with the reds. Interestingly,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: concern from voters about poverty and inequality is trending down
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: despite the big push in the media last week. What's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that about the reality is that Labour is still ahead
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: though on three of the five issues nationally head on
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: one and they are dead even on another. But no election,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: as you know, is one or lost on a single liar,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is it? Although COVID and twenty twenty and cost of
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: living in twenty twenty three were dominant. What the election
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: will come down to, As I've always said, and everyone
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: is all always known as Winston Peters. Now he has
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: told me, he has told us that he will not
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: form a government with Labor if one Hapkins is in charge,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and two it needs propping up by the Greens. All
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: to party Marty, he says they're nuts. So as long
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: as the polls stay roughly where they are, the National
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Party strategists will be sticking largely to the same script
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and the same game plan as we just heard from
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Nichola Willis a few moments ago, and wait at the
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: altar for Winston, barring, of course, any campaigns snaffoos that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: might get any of the above into trumble and offside
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: with us the voters. Gray and Bridge, speaking of mister
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Peters as Foreign minister, he's off to Argentina. I believe
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: he said yesterday South America anyway, and he gave a
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: stand up on the situation and around before leaving.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: It will be very difficult in the risky cities. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: if you're out in the countryside and you can't get
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: away and give it a go otherwise to trying to
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: say to stay inside and we'll see our things develop.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: But it's very, very difficult for us this far away
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: from personal circumstances to tell me what to do. Mind you,
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: We've been telling them for weeks to get ready just
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: in case this happened.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: He did come on the show last week, didn't he
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: on my Herald show and say get out? I said,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: what are you? What's her message to any kiwis in Iran?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Get out? Very clear, and he said there was a
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: at that point three days prior, a high chance that
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: that war would break out there. So there you go.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Text are coming in, Ryan. Why are people giving Labor
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: any kudos when they screwed the pooch to begin with.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know how, I don't know why people think
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: what they think, Graham, but it's lovely to hear from you.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: This morning, we'll head to the UK and then to
• 17:46

• 18:19
  Speaker 2: at the Electric Avenue event. Ninety thousand tickets sold. They
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: had two hundred thousand people chasing these tickets. Mackenzie tells
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: me it was a fantastic two days and not long
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: one of those festivals where you have to line up
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and wait for things like the toilet or a beer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It was very well organized, very well done, so good
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: on you christ Church. We're heading this morning to We
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: had Nikola Willison. She's told us that she's watching the

• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Iran is firing all over the shop at the moment.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: They've nearly got a bunch of British soldiers in Bahrain.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Gavin out of London on that shortly

  Speaker 2: and head to Washington.

  Speaker 1: Before six grayam.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Bridge, Shamy Cunningham and Dunedin for us this morning, Jamie,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. Rates are set to rise there.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: How much well, Dunedin City Council has released its draft
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: annual plan and the proposed non water rate increase is
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: six point nine percent, which is actually lower than the
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: eight point five percent forecast in the nine year plan. However,
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: the three waters rates increase is sixteen point seven percent,
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: which is higher than forecast because the value of water
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: assets has increased.
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Chief Executive Sandy Graham says staff have worked hard to
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: find savings across the organization by reprioritizing activities without compromising
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: levels of service. She says they're challenged by increasing maintenance costs,
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: electricity and gas costs, interest rates, movements and the current economy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: How's the weather.
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: Cloudy periods with showers easing in the morning then clearing
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: in the evenings. Southerlyes and are high of twelve.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you Claries in christch clear, congratulations on another great weekend.
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: Yes, well, you know I take any opportunity to brag,
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: don't I? Ryan, and Electric Avenue was just the beginning though,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: of what's to come for christ Church.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: As you know.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: About ninety thousand festival goers, including Jamie Cunningham including Kenzie
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: were at Electric Avenue on Friday and Saturday at Hagley Park.
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: The event was thirty percent bigger than last year. There
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: were new stages, a much bigger sight and about fifteen
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: thousand more punters. Business Canterbury Chief executively Anne Watson says
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: it's only on the cusp of what's to come now.
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: We've got the opening of one en Zed Stadium next month.
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: She says there's already a vibe about the city and
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: events of this scale in the CBD is a great
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: economic boost. Watson says these things are what's putting christ
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: Church back on the map. There were only a few
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: issues with people arriving drunk at the venue on Friday
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: and a small number of arrests made, but otherwise police
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: were very pleased with the behavior of the crowd.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: All that's good. How's your weather today?
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Nothing to brag about weatherwise. A few showers about some
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: heavy will gradually ease by evening subbily strong and exposed
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: places at a high of thirteen.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Brilliant Thank you Mix and Wellington Morning mechs, good morning.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: What's having to the school roles there? Yeah?
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: So, look, I mean, our local economy's pretty stuffed. House
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: price is yet to see any tangible sign of bounce back,
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: unemployment down relative to the country, and it's all starting
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: to filter through to schools as well and school rolls
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: a story in the Post today. There was a period
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: up to twenty twenty four where things were really booming
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: in the capital as much as anywhere else in the country.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: Wellington High School, for instance, their roles for a fifty
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: eight percent increase in ten years to over sixteen hundred.
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: Numbers now plateauing there and elsewhere. This year's intake of
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: year nine's at Wellington hid down from three hundred and
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: thirty to two hundred and eighty. Similar story elsewhere. What's
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: interesting is the schools further north, like Hut Valley, they're
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: actually doing okay, assuming more people are moving away from
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: the city and their surrounding suburbs basically for cheaper housing, townhouses,
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: et cetera. Indeed, the Wellington city population declined by three
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: thousand from twenty twenty five to twenty six. All right,
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: how's you with the strong showers? Cool as southerly's the
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: high of just twelve.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Neva's and Auckland good morning, Neva,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: good morning. Safety concerns here about rubbish truck drivers and
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: those fires.
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: That's right, You're quite right, a spate of battery related fires.
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: So I can tell you that Auckland councils recorded thirty
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: fires linked to batteries. This is across its rubbish trucks
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: and the main recycling facility last year. There's already been
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: five more this year. The council's also estimating that each
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: fire costs around five thousand dollars. The waste management specialst
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: that's Linden Collie. He's saying that look, these rubbish truck fires.
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: He dangerous for the drivers, you know, some sparking up
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: on the motorway producing toxic fumes as well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: How's our weather?
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Mainly fire just the.
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: Odd morning shower. But I can tell you it's getting colder.
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: I know the south line's pretty cold, but it's coming
• 22:48
  Speaker 12: up here to the North Island and here in Auckland,
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: those southerlyes, the southerlyes are going to become very strong
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: in the afternoon. You'll feel at Auckland twenty one is.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: A high brilliant Neva, Thank you very much. It is
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: nineteen minutes away from six. News talks be now. We
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: are going to head to the UK next to Washington
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: after that for the latest on what's going on in
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the Middle East. Basically the very latest is if you've
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: had three US military person now dead, you've got nine
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Israelis dead. This is after the Iranians are going back
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and striking whatever they can reach them, whatever they can
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: get their hands on. Terms of the Americans, question is
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like, what happens next. You know, you've got
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: so you killed the Eya Toller, he's the hardcore you
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: know conservative that there's beeny more than them around. They
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: have appointed an interim board. Haven't heard from them because
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: you can't use cell phones because then you'll be tracked.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: There's the Eya Toler's son they reckon, could become the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: next one. What we really don't know what happens from here.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It's anyone's guess, apart from because you just heard from
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: NETANYAHUO more bombing for the next few days. At least
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: nine to nine two. The number to text eighteen away
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: from six. It is sixteen minutes away from six. News talks.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I just mentioned this legal battle going on in India.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: So most it's the most popular app that they use
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: over there for social messaging is WhatsApp and that's owned
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: by Meta and there was a change to the rules,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and if you use WhatsApp you might be interested in this.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: There's a change to the rules in twenty twenty one
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: which meant that you basically couldn't choose. You had no choice.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: You give Meta your data for advertising or you don't
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: use the app basically, which was an update from twenty sixteen.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Now the Indian courts are saying that is bs and
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: they're challenging that. So that is all kicking off in
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: India this morning.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: You've got to Gavin Gray, a UK correspondent, UK basies
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: caught up in Bahrain, caught up in the firing from Iran.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Gavin's with us for the latest. Gavin, good morning, good
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: evening to you.
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: Yes, Ron, that's right. So we're hearing from the Defense
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: Secretary some vague details about how at an army base,
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: a British Army base, there was a strike what was
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: described as a matter of a few or several hundred meters,
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: so obviously a distance away, but in terms of being
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: quite close in realistic that's pretty close. That was a
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: strike in Bahrain from an Iranian missile. The UK is
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: urging Iran not to indiscriminately fire these missiles off because
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: the UK did not participate in the US Israeli action.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: The Defense Secretary says it's for the US to set
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: out the legal basis for his actions. The government here
• 25:28
  Speaker 13: refusing to say it was either legal or internationally legal
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: what America has done. Being careful I suppose not to
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: anger Donald Trump, but at the same time wanting to
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: hold that option open, I guess. But nevertheless, so the
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: UK is saying to those in the Middle East, British nationals,
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: stay undercover, stay safe, and are really urging people in
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: those areas to be very very careful. But certainly that
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: firing near that base in Iran has near that base
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: Bahrain rather really quite shocking.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what about the flights the British air Wives,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Virgin Atlane Tik they're all grounded some or pausing some.
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah, massive delays carrying on for some because the hubs
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: are plentiful in the United Arab Emirates and in some
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: of the other Middle Eastern countries as well, where the
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: airports are simply used to stop over places for Britons
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: to go further on to the Maldives for instance, or
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: on to India, or on to the on to the
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Far East. So the idea that the airspace in those
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: hubs has closed has meant massive flight redirections has led
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: to lots of cancelations. It is being estimated that I
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: think tens of thousands again to be affected by this,
• 26:47
  Speaker 13: and that's some British Airways and virgin as you said,
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: both the big airlines. They're saying, right, we're canceling flights
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: to all these destinations or having to give the whole
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: area or on birth for flights that would normally fly
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: over them. And also the Foreign off is saying, if
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: you don't need to go, don't go to a whole
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: list of these countries in the Middle East because at
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: the moment they're saying it quite simply is not safe.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Thanks for that update. Kevin Gray are
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: UK europe correspondent. It is eighteen sorry twelve minutes away
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: from six Ryan Bridge So as you've been hearing or
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: kicking it off in the Middle East over the weekend's.
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: The great, proud people of Iran. I say tonight that
• 27:27
  Speaker 14: the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered,
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: be dropping everywhere. When we are finished take over your government,
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: it will be yours to take.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: So he wants regime change, but he wants the Iranians
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to help him do it. Basically around supreme leader that
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I had told the Homini has been killed. That has
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: been confirmed by both sides. Now other leaders have been killed,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: not sure exactly who at this point in the joint
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: UIs has RAETI strikes on Tehran. Tehran responded with miss strikes.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Reporter Dubai in the UAE Kantar's capital, Doha, bah Ray
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and Kuwait, anywhere they can get to. Basically, you might
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: find an American. David Smith, Washington Bureau, Chief of The Guardian,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: joins US Live. David, what is the latest from Washington?
• 28:16
  Speaker 15: Hi? Well, Donald Trump has been doing some media interviews.
• 28:21
  Speaker 15: He told Fox News that some forty eight leaders have
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: been killed so far in Iran, which I guess you
• 28:30
  Speaker 15: know is going to raise a technical question, you know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 15: when does it constitute regime change? How deep does it
• 28:36
  Speaker 15: have to go. In a separate interview with Atlantic Magazine,
• 28:40
  Speaker 15: Trump said Iran's new leadership wants to talk to him,
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: and he has agreed. He said, said, you know, they
• 28:46
  Speaker 15: should have done it sooner. They waited too long. But
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: he's he's happy to talk now. So I guess there's
• 28:53
  Speaker 15: a hint there of a beginning of an end to this,
• 28:56
  Speaker 15: but we're still a long way off. In the meantime,
• 29:00
  Speaker 15: Billy Iran is striking back and hitting Israel and the
• 29:06
  Speaker 15: United Arab Emirates, And in the meantime, we've had the
• 29:10
  Speaker 15: first report of US service members among casualties. Three military
• 29:17
  Speaker 15: personnel killed and five more seriously wounded, according to the
• 29:22
  Speaker 15: US Central Command.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Right, how long does it go? I mean, you hear
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Nitya who's saying this is going the bombing will go
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: on for at least days from here. What do you think?
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think there's an interestingtention there because Benjamin Methiinia,
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: who Israeli Prime Minister, probably very influential in getting us
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: to this point in the first place. He's always craved
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: regime change in Iran and past the US presidents were
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: not receptive to that, but despite the friction between them,
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: sometimes Trump was. And you know, this is his ambition realized,
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: and I'm sure Methana who would like to see it
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: through for as long as possible. On the other hand,
• 30:04
  Speaker 15: I think the gravitational pull from Washington will be in
• 30:07
  Speaker 15: the opposite direction. There will be many members of Congress
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: who already feel slighted by this, who feel that Trump
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: failed to get their consent as he should have done,
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: and calling it unconstitutional and unlawful. They will say the Trump,
• 30:26
  Speaker 15: you should take the win, the fact that amadinijhad and
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: so many others sorry Ayatolla, how many I should say,
• 30:35
  Speaker 15: and reportedly for the president, Amadinahad and others have been killed,
• 30:40
  Speaker 15: and get out as soon as possible before more American
• 30:45
  Speaker 15: lives are lost and before the financial cost of this
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: piles up. And right now very hard to say which
• 30:53
  Speaker 15: way it will go. I think Trump's latest remarks about
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: talking to remnants of the Ranian regime, you know, indicate
• 31:00
  Speaker 15: eight that he would probably like to wrap this up
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: sooner rather than later.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, David, appreciate your time. David Smith, Washington, Bureier
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: chief for The Guardian at nine minutes away from six
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. By the way, traders are telling Router's that
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: the price of ren crude over the weekend or Sunday
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: over the counter up ten percent to eighty dollars a barrel,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: and Iran pumping four point seven million barrels a day
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: last year. That's four point four percent of global supplies.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: The real issue is the straight up Formers, which they've
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: threatened to close, which is thirty odd percent of oil
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and gas for the whole world. It's eight to six
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: News TALKSB.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day earlier
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where you live.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: News TALKSB flicks away from six on NEWSTALKSB. Yeah, so
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the price of oil probably goes, it'll spike a bit
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: and it'll come back a bit. This is what happened
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: last year anyway. Nicola Willis told us this morning, same
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: with Key. We save the balance as they'll go up
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and down a bit and basically it's volatile. We just

  Speaker 2: don't look really unless you have to. Mike, good morning,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: How eating's Ryan. How was the weekend?
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: It was a fair well, it was I don't have
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: time to go into it. But it was troubled on
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: a personal level. But details maybe at a later time.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: I'll possibly saw the exclusive to Woman's Dale or The
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: Hero on Sunday one or the other. But nevertheless, I
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: got through it okay, good and it was no. No,
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: I don't apologize.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It made it sound very dramatic.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Well it wasn't dramatic. It wasn't overly dramatic. It just
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: required me to do a bunch of stuff to fix
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: things up that shouldn't have happened. Goodness, But my wife
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: gave me a very good pip talk as I went
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: to bed last night. She goes, you, you're such a doer.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: You're so good at putting things right. And I thought, oh,
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: it's very nice.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And that made you feel good. Of course it did.
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: But we got through that. We're not through it yet.
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: It's an on game story.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Well it's not a can you just tell us what
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: it is?
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: No, So it's actually no big deal.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I learned a lot. Is it a leak something, let's
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: call it a leak.
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: So what was interesting about it was and trying to
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: fix it and talking to people about fixing stuff. I
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: learned a lot I thought, this is interesting. I thought,
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: even though this is a pain in my ass right now,
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: this is actually quite interesting. And so I'm putting some
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: things in place in my life that will future proof, okay,
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: my circumstances.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Because I don't imagine your very hands on, very very
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: little hands on me.
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: I may let's get some experts on, very impatient with
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: the getting the experts onto it, so the experts need
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: to be there fourthwith. So there's there's that element of
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: tension around it. But the good news is I will
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: prevail now, of course, and that's all that counts. But
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: what I did enjoy yesterday was the juxtaposition in watching
• 33:41

• 33:45
  Speaker 9: have been a.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Football game, chomping at couldn't it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: It could have been a football game the BBC, it
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: was the mo It's just the difference the way they
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: covered what I did find. You know, they took a
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: snapshot of those flights when they started closing theirport six thousand,
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: just that that moment.

• 34:03
  Speaker 2: the air, a lot of planes, a lot of people
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: and a lot of chaos.
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: And you know, if you're by the Middle East, at
• 34:08
