1:03
Speaker 2: Let's go to the UK Star has had his last PMQ's.
1:06
Speaker 2: This is after he's left the team at Downing Street
1:09
Speaker 2: said goodbye for the final time.
1:11
Speaker 6: He might not have answered many of the questions I
1:14
Speaker 6: asked him, but at least he turned up. So does
1:17
Speaker 6: the Prime Minister agree with me that his successor should
1:20
Speaker 6: come to this place and answer questions rather than scoring
1:24
Speaker 6: away for.
1:24
Speaker 7: The summer, Mister Speaker, as Prime Minister, I have participated
1:28
Speaker 7: in over sixty PMQ's and I've answered or at least
1:32
Speaker 7: given answers on two eight hundred times, and I'm sure
1:41
Speaker 7: she will question my successor in the same way.
1:44
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Reform UK SES a man's been arrested after allegedly
1:49
Speaker 2: threatening to shoot Nigel Faraje in a social media post.
1:52
Speaker 2: Now the social media post was actually made back in May,
1:55
Speaker 2: so we'll look at what's going on there in a second. Finally,
1:57
Speaker 2: remember the guy who was sucked out a window of
1:59
Speaker 2: a plane on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany.
2:02
Speaker 2: While the wife of this guy, he was sixty one
2:04
Speaker 2: years old, she's given a first hand account of what
2:08
Speaker 2: actually happened on board.
2:11
Speaker 5: Together we managed to pull him back inside. His upper
2:14
Speaker 5: body was severely disfigured, his arm was badly injured, and
2:17
Speaker 5: there was blood everywhere. She says her husband Lubisha lost
2:21
Speaker 5: consciousness three times and was partially outside for up to
2:25
Speaker 5: two minutes.
2:26
Speaker 3: Pretty frightening.
2:26
Speaker 2: So part of the plane's engine apparently ruptured at the
2:30
Speaker 2: debris goes into the window and then causes the window
2:33
Speaker 2: to explode. That's where they got into trouble.
2:37
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Belly Edition with
2:41
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that keeps Business
2:45
Speaker 1: Moving News talk z'b.
2:47
Speaker 3: Give me a Texas Morning nine, two ninety two. The
2:49
Speaker 3: first thing that came up when I was looking at the.
2:51
Speaker 2: Bird flu situation, because we've spoken to Andrew Hoggart about
2:54
Speaker 2: this before, the potential for it coming. I mean, it's here,
2:57
Speaker 2: but don't panic, don't freak out. But the first thing
2:59
Speaker 2: that popped up when you go to what are other
3:01
Speaker 2: people searching about the bird flu? Was can I still
3:04
Speaker 2: eat KFC with the bird flu?
3:07
Speaker 3: Here?
3:08
Speaker 2: The answers, well, as long as it's cooked properly, yes
3:11
Speaker 2: you can. So they found us one six seabird in Potoni,
3:15
Speaker 2: one six seabird, but they reckon there's probably more six
3:19
Speaker 2: seabirds out there come across the ocean apparently was acting
3:22
Speaker 2: a bit weird. People were going up to the bird
3:25
Speaker 2: and the bird wasn't flying away, it was letting them approach,
3:28
Speaker 2: and so people said that that's odd. Took it to
3:31
Speaker 2: the zoo and did a test and bob's your uncle.
3:35
Speaker 2: It's h five. She's landed. So the advice is, will
3:40
Speaker 2: do nothing. I mean, you see any birds acting weird,
3:42
Speaker 2: then call doc or whatever, but don't freak out, don't panic,
3:46
Speaker 2: no need to do that. Poultry industry is a big
3:49
Speaker 2: one because it's worth two point two billion dollars to
3:52
Speaker 2: this economy. Our exports are two hundred million dollars. So
3:56
Speaker 2: it is an important industry for New Zealand and you
3:58
Speaker 2: don't want it getting in there. The death rate for
4:00
Speaker 2: chickens is one hundred percent. However, there is no evidence
4:03
Speaker 2: that there's widespread or even transmission happening in New Zealand
4:06
Speaker 2: at the moment. So they say, you know, just wait
4:09
Speaker 2: and see, watch and see and cook your chicken, cook
4:11
Speaker 2: your eggs. We'll look at that in detail. Just before
4:14
Speaker 2: six this morning.
4:15
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge coming out next.
4:17
Speaker 2: We will talk about this business forum because we have
4:19
Speaker 2: the India FTA big song and dance. Now, we have
4:23
Speaker 2: an international business forum happening here on Friday, and some
4:29
Speaker 2: relatively important people and relatively relatively important countries are here
4:35
Speaker 2: and we're only just hearing about it now, which is interesting.
4:37
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that next. News TALKSB the early.
4:40
Speaker 1: Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
4:47
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
4:50
Speaker 1: analysis this early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for
4:54
Speaker 1: Business Technology that keeps Business Moving.
4:56
Speaker 3: News TALKSB five thirteen. News Talks HEB.
5:00
Speaker 2: There will be flights affected by fog and Auckland Airport
5:02
Speaker 2: this morning, you can be sure, But what about the
5:04
Speaker 2: on time performance of our national carrier because everyone would
5:07
Speaker 2: know it wasn't that long ago, and you still hear
5:09
Speaker 2: people complaining about it now, but complaining about the fact
5:12
Speaker 2: that the planes just weren't leaving on time, or actually
5:15
Speaker 2: weren't leaving at all. They've now put out a press
5:17
Speaker 2: release just this morning, this is in New Zealand, saying
5:20
Speaker 2: that they have had strong year on year improvements to
5:23
Speaker 2: their operational performance. That's code for the planes are leaving
5:27
Speaker 2: on time mostly eighty six percent of flights arriving within
5:31
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of schedule. This is for the month of June,
5:35
Speaker 2: they had twelve two hundred and seventy nine flights and
5:38
Speaker 2: eighty six percent of them arrived within fifteen minutes of
5:41
Speaker 2: when they should have. That's actually down from May where
5:44
Speaker 2: they had eighty nine percent. So they've done better by
5:48
Speaker 2: eight points on the year prior. That's what the point
5:53
Speaker 2: that they're making over the year were up almost ten
5:55
Speaker 2: percentage points. Now Jetstar had to look at them this morning,
6:00
Speaker 2: eighty one point six percent, so in New Zealand for
6:02
Speaker 2: June beating jet Star.
6:03
Speaker 3: For May was eighty three percent.
6:06
Speaker 2: Again in New Zealand for May, beating jet Star, which
6:09
Speaker 2: is where they want to be. I mean, how hard
6:11
Speaker 2: does it just get up in the They did say
6:13
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, periods of severe winter weather, Wellington Airport
6:17
Speaker 2: fire and other disruptions outside of our control contributed to
6:20
Speaker 2: the probably, I guess the remainder fifteen or so percent.
6:24
Speaker 2: It is fourteen after five.
6:27
Speaker 3: Tatman is the top.
6:27
Speaker 2: McLay hosting a global officials for a Big Trades meeting
6:31
Speaker 2: on Friday. This is the future of investment and trade
6:34
Speaker 2: partnership ministerial meeting. Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, Malaysia, Morocco, Singapore,
6:40
Speaker 2: Switzerland all going to be the total twenty one small
6:42
Speaker 2: medium trading countries will be represented. Felicity Roxburgh is International
6:47
Speaker 2: Business from executive director with US This morning, Felicity, good morning.
6:50
Speaker 8: Good morning.
6:51
Speaker 3: Is this a big deal?
6:54
Speaker 8: This is a big deal for small countries. I mean
6:56
Speaker 8: it may seem like an eclectic group when you read
6:59
Speaker 8: out that list, but I think you know, we all
7:02
Speaker 8: have something in common. We rely on global trade and
7:05
Speaker 8: it's a really difficult time out there for a exporters,
7:08
Speaker 8: so why not try to work together?
7:11
Speaker 3: How well are we working with these countries as it is.
7:14
Speaker 8: Well, this is a kind of a new mechanism and
7:18
Speaker 8: it does things in a different way. So it's about
7:20
Speaker 8: small countries deciding that they'll do something called pathfinding, which
7:24
Speaker 8: in trade means they try things or they innovate things,
7:28
Speaker 8: and if they work, then they try and attract other
7:31
Speaker 8: countries to do the same things. But we do have
7:33
Speaker 8: some of our best buds in this group as well.
7:35
Speaker 8: We've got Singapore with whom we have a very strong
7:38
Speaker 8: trade relationship, and the UAE is also another key partner
7:42
Speaker 8: for New Zealand.
7:43
Speaker 2: How much of this is about routes that are already
7:46
Speaker 2: existing or routes that we you know, regular trading routes
7:49
Speaker 2: that we can sort of leverage off. I mean Costa Rica.
7:52
Speaker 2: How much trade do we do with Costa Rica?
7:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean some of them are new shall we
7:57
Speaker 8: say new trade partners for US. I mean another way
8:00
Speaker 8: is will Wander Paraguay. So you know, this group is
8:05
Speaker 8: not really just about market access. This group is about
8:08
Speaker 8: focusing on some issues fly chains, open light, tackling non
8:14
Speaker 8: tariff barriers, doing paperless or digital trades. So this is
8:18
Speaker 8: like having common certification within our markets. The idea being
8:22
Speaker 8: that you know, we do have agency. We're not just defensive.
8:26
Speaker 8: We don't just have defensive interest in this global environment.
8:30
Speaker 8: We can work together as small countries.
8:32
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Nice to have you on the show. Felicity
8:35
Speaker 2: Rocksborough has with US International Business Form executive Director. Time
8:38
Speaker 2: is sixteen after five. I lived in Costa Rica for
8:41
Speaker 2: a little while. I lived in San Jose and the capital,
8:43
Speaker 2: and I mean beautiful place, beautiful coastline, a bit of jungle,
8:49
Speaker 2: lots of bananas, beautiful food, and very very cheap to
8:53
Speaker 2: live a lot of Americans go live there because it's
8:55
Speaker 2: cheap literally because of the cost of living. Some of
8:59
Speaker 2: them probably run away from debts. There was a few
9:02
Speaker 2: sort of weird characters there, a lot of people running
9:04
Speaker 2: this online casino, online casino and betting agencies there. A
9:09
Speaker 2: lot of Americans go down there because the cost of
9:11
Speaker 2: labor is cheaper and set up. There was one of
9:14
Speaker 2: them who was selling magazine subscriptions to Americans over the phone.
9:20
Speaker 2: Very weird things happening actually in Costarecta, now that I
9:22
Speaker 2: think about it. At seventeen minutes after five News talks'b
9:25
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that card spinning data out yesterday.
9:28
Speaker 1: Next the Early Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power
9:32
Speaker 1: by News Talks at B here Ittt first Ryan Bridge
9:37
Speaker 1: on Early Edition with Spark for business technology that keeps
9:41
Speaker 1: business moving News Talks dB five nineteen.
9:44
Speaker 2: This curious case of Anne Whittak come over in the
9:47
Speaker 2: UK where police said, oh, this is the politician who
9:50
Speaker 2: was allegedly murdered quite brutally in her own home. And
9:54
Speaker 2: police said, initially on our theres nothing to see here,
9:56
Speaker 2: it's not politically motivated, there's no terrorism or in there.
9:58
Speaker 2: And then a few days later that went oh, actually,
10:01
Speaker 2: yeah there is. So there's now been a guy in
10:04
Speaker 2: his twenties who's arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill
10:08
Speaker 2: Nigel Farage. Here's the tweet. It's actually reported to police
10:12
Speaker 2: back in May and they're only now making an arrest.
10:15
Speaker 2: What are we sixteenth of July the post on X
10:20
Speaker 2: I am going to shoot you in the head if
10:22
Speaker 2: you win charming. So that was back in May. Guy's
10:26
Speaker 2: been arrested. He's now released on bail. But coming back
10:29
Speaker 2: to Anne Whittakim, Nigel Farag says he had calls from
10:34
Speaker 2: the prime from Starma on Friday and on Saturday and
10:37
Speaker 2: from police who said to him, no, no, no, no, this
10:41
Speaker 2: is just something else.
10:42
Speaker 9: And they both told me it's a burglary that's gone wrong.
10:45
Speaker 9: I said, no, he's not. A burglar does not put
10:49
Speaker 9: his car on your drive and walk into the house.
10:53
Speaker 9: A burglar arks in a lay by down the road
10:56
Speaker 9: or has a getaway driver. And I went to Dartmoor
10:59
Speaker 9: on sadly and I said, I have no doubt this
11:02
Speaker 9: is a premeditated murder.
11:04
Speaker 2: The question is, would if you're an assassin, would you
11:07
Speaker 2: you know equally? Would you park your car on the
11:09
Speaker 2: driveway and then go in and shoot somebody or bludding
11:13
Speaker 2: them to death. Well, equally a good question. Twenty one
11:16
Speaker 2: after five, Brian. So we're being more careful with our money.
11:19
Speaker 2: This is card spending data, official stats out yesterday, seasonally adjusted,
11:24
Speaker 2: down one point four percent in June compared with May.
11:26
Speaker 2: We were up slightly actually on the previous same month
11:30
Speaker 2: previous year. Big hits a hospit down one point nine,
11:34
Speaker 2: apparel down two point two, even fuels down one point seven.
11:37
Speaker 2: Chris Wilkinson, First Retail Group managing direct with me this morning. Chris,
11:40
Speaker 2: good morning, Hey Ryan, how are you very well?
11:42
Speaker 3: Thank you.
11:43
Speaker 2: So we're spending we're saving on the petrol, but then
11:45
Speaker 2: we're not going out and blowing it on discretionary.
11:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:48
Speaker 10: People have been very cautious at the moment, which is
11:52
Speaker 10: fair enough, isn't it.
11:52
Speaker 3: How is that impacting retailers though?
11:55
Speaker 10: Oh, look, I think the retailers, you know, they've had
11:58
Speaker 10: they've had some big challenges around cols. Increases, distribution costs
12:02
Speaker 10: have been seen right across our retail categories. So they're
12:07
Speaker 10: fighting a couple of a couple of fronts at the moment.
12:11
Speaker 3: What can you actually do about that.
12:13
Speaker 2: For if you're a retailer, because as you said, your
12:15
Speaker 2: costs her up, so your instinct must be to discount.
12:19
Speaker 2: But then you're undermining your business. What do you actually
12:23
Speaker 2: do to keep the money that is there in your shop?
12:28
Speaker 10: Yeah? Yeah, you just have to be hungry. You really
12:30
Speaker 10: have to go for your unfair share of the market.
12:32
Speaker 10: Good strong retail disciplines, be there, be open, love your customers,
12:37
Speaker 10: and those are the simple fundamentals retailers need to remember.
12:43
Speaker 2: Good stuff. Chris GOOTV on the shows always. That's Chris Wilkinson.
12:45
Speaker 2: First retail group with us this morning. It is twenty
12:47
Speaker 2: two minutes after five. And I was bought a of
12:51
Speaker 2: all things like a big round Paul toy, a blow
12:55
Speaker 2: up one. And there was a particular shop. I was
12:59
Speaker 2: on holiday, and it was a particular shop that I
13:01
Speaker 2: wanted to get it from because I quite liked the
13:02
Speaker 2: look at it and I quite like the color, and
13:04
Speaker 2: I never bought one of these things before, and so,
13:07
Speaker 2: and I was realized the shop was going to close
13:09
Speaker 2: in five minutes. It's an owner operator store. Lady was lovely. Anyway,
13:14
Speaker 2: I rang the store and I said, well, I'm coming,
13:17
Speaker 2: but I'm going to be late. Your store is going
13:19
Speaker 2: to be closed. Will you stay open? And she stayed
13:21
Speaker 2: open another ten minutes and then I was in the shop,
13:25
Speaker 2: got chatting. She know she was selling me other stuff.
13:28
Speaker 2: So she's worked an extra forty five minutes on the
13:30
Speaker 2: basis of one phone call.
13:33
Speaker 3: And that's what you do when you're in when you're
13:35
Speaker 3: a small business owner.
13:36
Speaker 2: Those are the kind of sacrifice you know would have
13:38
Speaker 2: missed probably dinner with her family. Those are the kind
13:41
Speaker 2: of sacrifices, sacrifices that you make to make a buck.
13:45
Speaker 2: Twenty three after five News Talks the' B. We'll talk
13:47
Speaker 2: about David Seymour's latest idea for your kids and their phones.
13:50
Speaker 2: Next News Talks n B twenty five after five is
13:53
Speaker 2: banning smart phones for kids, a dumb idea, not the apps,
13:58
Speaker 2: but the phones themselves.
14:00
Speaker 3: That would leave them with dumb.
14:01
Speaker 2: Phones, Sands, apps, sands Internet, just text and phone calls.
14:05
Speaker 2: Remember the old Nokia or the Alcatels of the early
14:08
Speaker 2: two thousands. They came in that sort of weird light
14:11
Speaker 2: orangey peachy color. There was a purply bluey one as well.
14:15
Speaker 2: You could get two tight two colors and one type
14:19
Speaker 2: David Semol's talking about this. This is after a blog
14:21
Speaker 2: post suggesting it'd be easier and less restrictive for everyone
14:25
Speaker 2: else if we just banned the hardware and not the software.
14:29
Speaker 2: Make smartphones like cigarettes or beer. If you saw a
14:32
Speaker 2: twelve year old with one, you would judge their parents,
14:34
Speaker 2: wouldn't you. At present, parents hand these things out like candy,
14:39
Speaker 2: caving by osmosis to their kid's pear pressure to own
14:43
Speaker 2: one of the things. The social media bands don't really
14:46
Speaker 2: seem to be working very well. As we've spoken about before,
14:48
Speaker 2: half the Aussie kids get around theirs. Where there's a world,
14:51
Speaker 2: there's always a way. Banning the actual device itself does,
14:56
Speaker 2: on the face of it, kind.
14:58
Speaker 3: Of make more sense.
14:59
Speaker 2: Don't you think you can still communicate, but not with
15:02
Speaker 2: the entire world, and not with the entire sum of
15:05
Speaker 2: human knowledge, good and bad at your unsupervised child's fingertips.
15:10
Speaker 2: This way, adults can keep using social media and not
15:13
Speaker 2: have to use some ID or a date of birth
15:16
Speaker 2: test to log into their Facebook, which all sounds great,
15:19
Speaker 2: except the real problem here is parents themselves. They're often
15:24
Speaker 2: the ones who are on their phones and ignoring their
15:26
Speaker 2: kids in the first place. If you were a child,
15:29
Speaker 2: wouldn't you want to be doing whatever your parents were
15:31
Speaker 2: doing too? It doesn't really matter what the law says,
15:35
Speaker 2: and changing it won't change everything. It's ultimately up to
15:39
Speaker 2: adults raising those kids to teach them right from wrong,
15:42
Speaker 2: good from bad, and whether eight hours a day doom
15:45
Speaker 2: scrolling is a behavior that's acceptable for them.
15:48
Speaker 3: Or their kids. Spray and Bridge twenty seven after five. China.
15:55
Speaker 2: We spoke about them yesterday because they've had some fantastic
15:58
Speaker 2: export data China AI hardware, you know anything yet AI
16:04
Speaker 2: needs to power itself up, probably come from China or
16:07
Speaker 2: Taiwan or South Korea. But China's doing well. Also, they're
16:12
Speaker 2: selling a bunch of evs, so export wise great. The
16:16
Speaker 2: economy quarter two, well, they only grew by four point
16:19
Speaker 2: three percent, which I know we shouldn't scoff at sitting
16:22
Speaker 2: down here on less than one, but it is their
16:24
Speaker 2: slowest rate of expansion since twenty twenty two. Why while
16:28
Speaker 2: the war with the Ran investment domestic demands being softer
16:32
Speaker 2: as well. You know, they've had housing price issues over there,
16:35
Speaker 2: which affects consumer confidence as we know here. So four
16:38
Speaker 2: point three percent was their number. It's interesting having had
16:45
Speaker 2: some experience with Beijing. They you can not completely trust
16:50
Speaker 2: all the economic data that comes out of China. There
16:53
Speaker 2: are people there whose job it is they're almost like
16:55
Speaker 2: economic investigators to determine whether the number that Beijing tells
17:00
Speaker 2: you as the number is really the number. And they'll
17:03
Speaker 2: go around and do things like count how many trucks
17:06
Speaker 2: are coming out of this port, how busy is this port,
17:09
Speaker 2: how much cement is being used, how much are factories,
17:13
Speaker 2: you know, how many cars are parked in the factory
17:15
Speaker 2: car park. All that kind of stuff kind of work
17:18
Speaker 2: backwards and figure out how real it is. In any case,
17:21
Speaker 2: that's the published number, so you could expect it to
17:24
Speaker 2: be four point three percent or less, you know.
17:28
Speaker 3: On News Talks, we will head to the.
17:30
Speaker 2: US, find out what Trump's saying, probably the opposite of
17:34
Speaker 2: what he said yesterday that's coming out.
17:37
Speaker 3: Plus we'll talk Don't Panic, Boom Flu News Talks b.
17:47
Speaker 1: The Early Edition Full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power
17:51
Speaker 1: by News Talks. It be the first word on the
17:56
Speaker 1: News of the Day Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and
18:00
Speaker 1: Spark for Business Technology that keeps Business Moving.
18:03
Speaker 3: News Talk ZB look at morning's.
18:12
Speaker 2: Twenty four minutes away from six here on news talks
18:15
Speaker 2: EDB coming up one sick bird. Don't worry. Poultry has
18:18
Speaker 2: been on bird flu prep watch, so they say they're
18:21
Speaker 2: getting ready for it. We'll talk about that in about
18:23
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes time. We'll head to the US as well,
18:25
Speaker 2: Trump and the war all that stuff. PayPal, Remember PayPal,
18:28
Speaker 2: maybe you still use it. There are so many other
18:31
Speaker 2: online payment options now that PayPal sort of became obsolete.
18:35
Speaker 2: Maybe you used it for a while. Anyway, their shares
18:38
Speaker 2: are up sixteen percent this morning. Apparently someone wants to
18:42
Speaker 2: buy them a stripe, which is a private equity firm
18:45
Speaker 2: advent along with a process, a payments process, a stripe.
18:48
Speaker 2: They've offered by sixty dollars and fifty cents a share.
18:52
Speaker 2: This would value the company at fifty three billion now.
18:55
Speaker 2: Market value yesterday was forty two billion, so they've jumped
18:59
Speaker 2: up and and valued it over three hundred billion dollars
19:03
Speaker 2: at the time. And you might remember this that it
19:07
Speaker 2: was last sold and that was back in twenty twenty one,
19:10
Speaker 2: so the price.
19:12
Speaker 3: Then was three hundred bucks. The value was three hundred billion,
19:15
Speaker 3: and now it's.
19:16
Speaker 2: Worth forty two Although jumping up on the back of
19:19
Speaker 2: this news interesting, no way, and so many other Presumably
19:22
Speaker 2: they will just merge it with whatever other payment processes
19:26
Speaker 2: they have.
19:27
Speaker 3: On at the moment.
19:27
Speaker 2: There's a really interesting piece about the raging bull market
19:31
Speaker 2: that we have had going on in Wall Street for
19:33
Speaker 2: the last three years and nine months to be exact.
19:36
Speaker 2: The S and P five hundred has more than doubled
19:38
Speaker 2: during that period, and there's everyone wants to know when
19:41
Speaker 2: will it end? Well, there's a semi answer to that.
19:44
Speaker 2: I'll give you to it shortly twenty two minutes away
19:46
Speaker 2: from six first our reporters Cullum and dned Morning. Colum Morning, right,
19:51
Speaker 2: so Otaga Uni researchers are telling women in particular to
19:55
Speaker 2: just take everything online to do with exercise with the
19:58
Speaker 2: grain of salt.
20:00
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's pretty much sums it up.
20:02
Speaker 3: Ryan.
20:02
Speaker 11: This is a study which has reviewed four common claims
20:05
Speaker 11: found online and discovered little evidence to support them. This
20:09
Speaker 11: includes advice that women shouldn't fast, that hydration needs change
20:14
Speaker 11: during the menstrual cycle, and women need different carbon protein
20:17
Speaker 11: strategies to men. The co author of this study here
20:21
Speaker 11: is Professor Catherine Black. She's told us a lack of
20:23
Speaker 11: research into women's health is helping fuel this misinformation online.
20:27
Speaker 11: She says women's exercise has been overlooked throughout history and
20:31
Speaker 11: these claims are being made up to fill the gap.
20:34
Speaker 11: The professor says some studies used to support these claims
20:37
Speaker 11: were based on animal models and don't reflect how the
20:41
Speaker 11: female body responds.
20:42
Speaker 2: So don't listen to the fitness influences on the internet.
20:46
Speaker 2: How's your weather come?
20:48
Speaker 11: You mainly find here today westerly is the high of
20:50
Speaker 11: twelve for Dene.
20:51
Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you Claires and christ Church morning Claire.
20:54
Speaker 2: Why is a christ Church counselor in a bit of
20:56
Speaker 2: a tiff with government?
20:58
Speaker 12: Yes, a bit of a bit of chene and down here,
21:00
Speaker 12: let's say that much. Heathket Counselor Nathaniel hers Jardine says
21:04
Speaker 12: the council's relationship with central government is simply failing. That's
21:08
Speaker 12: after the Finance Minister Nikola Willis claimed last month that
21:11
Speaker 12: christ Church didn't ask for anything in this year's budget
21:14
Speaker 12: and that's why it didn't get anything. But hers Jardine
21:17
Speaker 12: says the council did right to South Island Minister James
21:19
Speaker 12: Megaback in February with five clear requests. He says they're
21:23
Speaker 12: still waiting on a response. Those requests included funding and
21:26
Speaker 12: support for mass rapid transport and also help with the
21:29
Speaker 12: future proofing of Littleton Port.
21:31
Speaker 13: Hers.
21:31
Speaker 12: Jardine says he was gusted to hear Willis's comments. There's
21:34
Speaker 12: a lack of relationship there which creates uncertainty about projects.
21:38
Speaker 12: Council doesn't know what central government wants them to work on. Interestingly,
21:42
Speaker 12: Mega replied to us at News Talk s'b He says
21:45
Speaker 12: that he often meets with the mayor and that there
21:47
Speaker 12: is a council meeting that is in the works once
21:49
Speaker 12: they can get their diaries to align.
21:51
Speaker 3: All right, how's your weather.
21:53
Speaker 12: Mainly fine, there is a chance of a morning shower,
21:55
Speaker 12: westerly's dying out and thirteen degrees.
21:57
Speaker 3: Nice one to best. Good morning. You're going to be
21:59
Speaker 3: updated on a eleik.
22:01
Speaker 14: Yeah, good morning, Ryan, So we do. Two more major
22:05
Speaker 14: events have been popped in the calendar here in Wellington
22:08
Speaker 14: for November seven, or election day. Despite this, though, the
22:11
Speaker 14: Electoral Commission's not worried at all about voter turnout. I mean,
22:15
Speaker 14: Wellington Central saw eighty four percent cast votes in twenty
22:19
Speaker 14: twenty three. So this is the High Tide Music Festival
22:22
Speaker 14: which will bring thousands to Wellington's White Honey Park and
22:25
Speaker 14: cricket fans they're being treated as well as The black
22:27
Speaker 14: Caps will face India in a one day Test match
22:30
Speaker 14: or one day match at Henry Stadium on the same day.
22:33
Speaker 14: Up in Auckland's Auckland FC is also taking on the
22:36
Speaker 14: Phoenix and the derby match that drew out more than
22:38
Speaker 14: twenty five thousand last year. Chief Electro Officer Carl lacaydes
22:43
Speaker 14: his voters can always cast the ballots early or vote
22:46
Speaker 14: before heading to these events. He adds the commissioners also
22:49
Speaker 14: planning on putting booths near the events.
22:53
Speaker 3: Okay, so you can go to high Tide and vote.
22:55
Speaker 14: Yeah, listen to some Drummond bass and cast.
22:57
Speaker 3: Vote okay as you. Weather very mild.
23:01
Speaker 14: Today, a bit of rain clearing this morning. Northwesterly winds
23:04
Speaker 14: and fifteen degrees thanks.
23:05
Speaker 3: To bears winds and Auckland. Good morning, Good morning.
23:08
Speaker 2: This is shocking breaking news. Two parrots kidnapped from the
23:12
Speaker 2: North Shore.
23:13
Speaker 15: It does sound unusual, doesn't it. Two pet parrots bird
23:16
Speaker 15: nat from Auckland stole shore. Don't worry, They've been reunited
23:20
Speaker 15: with their family. Nico and Mango are two sun con
23:24
Speaker 15: your parrots. They were taken during the burglary in Brown's
23:26
Speaker 15: Bay on Friday. The colorful pair were stolen out of
23:29
Speaker 15: their cages along with several tools. Police are seeking CCTV
23:33
Speaker 15: footage and when they were asking people to help to
23:35
Speaker 15: find these beloved pets, a woman walking her dog in
23:38
Speaker 15: a Glenfield park yesterday found them. They've been reunited with
23:42
Speaker 15: the relief family. Apparently these pets are popular because of
23:45
Speaker 15: their playful and affectionate nature. In case you were thinking
23:48
Speaker 15: of getting one.
23:48
Speaker 3: What were they just in the park, just hanging out.
23:51
Speaker 15: Just hanging out in the park, notably having a good time.
23:53
Speaker 2: Bird people weird, you know, with cages in their living rooms,
23:57
Speaker 2: all the feathers in the poop and the noise.
24:00
Speaker 3: I don't like it. And when they put a little
24:02
Speaker 3: curtain over this. How's weather, well, you.
24:06
Speaker 15: Can see once again on the drive in morning folk
24:08
Speaker 15: or cloud. But you know then it does seem to lift.
24:10
Speaker 15: And we do have some fine spells, don't we. A
24:12
Speaker 15: few isolated showers around as well, with northerly as are
24:15
Speaker 15: turning westerly seventeen degrees high.
24:18
Speaker 3: Very nice, Wendy, thank you very much.
24:20
Speaker 2: It is seventeen speaking of to six. Just telling you
24:24
Speaker 2: a little earlier about the bull market. So three years
24:26
Speaker 2: and nine months to be precise, that the S and
24:29
Speaker 2: P five hundred has been in bull mode. It's double
24:32
Speaker 2: during that period, and everyone wants to know when does
24:35
Speaker 2: it end? How does it stop? The Wall Street Journal
24:38
Speaker 2: has a piece on this this morning, and I wanted
24:39
Speaker 2: to share a little bit of it with you. Markets
24:41
Speaker 2: don't collapse because of old age. Even high prices aren't
24:45
Speaker 2: usually enough alone to cripple a ball. But one way
24:48
Speaker 2: that stocks can slow is when new issuance overwhelms investors
24:53
Speaker 2: and otherwise, in other words, supply outstrips demand. I know
24:58
Speaker 2: it's counterintuitive, but it happens, and it has happened. This
25:01
Speaker 2: was nineteen ninety nine, late nineteen ninety nine, first half
25:04
Speaker 2: of two thousand, you know, pre dot com collapse happened
25:07
Speaker 2: then too. So if you look at how many shares
25:10
Speaker 2: and offerings have gone up, SpaceX seventy five billion, alphabets
25:14
Speaker 2: equity rays that's Google eighty five billion.
25:17
Speaker 3: This is also far this year.
25:19
Speaker 2: Then we've had Henex, you know, the South Korean twenty
25:22
Speaker 2: six billion. You add all that up, the rush of
25:26
Speaker 2: stock and bond issuance this year already is three hundred
25:30
Speaker 2: and forty four billion dollars of new shares have been
25:33
Speaker 2: sold to investors. That's more than the full year totals
25:36
Speaker 2: for last year twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three and
25:40
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. Now, I'm not saying it's all going
25:43
Speaker 2: to end tomorrow, but.
25:45
Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't it. Sixteen to six we're in the US.
25:47
Speaker 2: Next fourteen to six news talks, they'd be on David
25:50
Speaker 2: Seymour talking about banning four kids the smart phone rather
25:54
Speaker 2: than the apps. This textas says, Ryan didn't think Seymour
25:57
Speaker 2: was turning wanted to turn his z Ellen into a
25:59
Speaker 2: communist country. I decide what fine is based for my
26:02
Speaker 2: kids to be fear. He doesn't seen this as policy.
26:04
Speaker 2: He's basically this is an idea. It's a little thought
26:07
Speaker 2: bubble from David Temoll this.
26:08
Speaker 1: Morning, International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance, peace of
26:13
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
26:15
Speaker 2: We've got to Keady forasure, our US correspondent this morning,
26:17
Speaker 2: thirteen away from six, Trump and full chest booting, bomb
26:21
Speaker 2: dropping mode at the moment.
26:22
Speaker 3: Kady, that's right.
26:24
Speaker 16: This is the fifth consecutive day of US attacks on
26:28
Speaker 16: Iran during what is supposed to be a period of negotiations,
26:32
Speaker 16: a sixty day negotiation period before they get onto trying
26:36
Speaker 16: to find a lasting piece. But that cease fire certainly
26:40
Speaker 16: over now as both sides exchanging strikes. Donald Trump has
26:45
Speaker 16: flip flopped over the hall MoU straight as well, saying
26:48
Speaker 16: a couple of days ago that he was going to
26:50
Speaker 16: charge tolls four ships to pass through that and now
26:53
Speaker 16: saying he won't do that, but still that the US
26:57
Speaker 16: is in control of the Strait of Hormu's Iran saying
27:00
Speaker 16: in fact they're in charge of the straight of war moves.
27:02
Speaker 16: So things don't really feel like they're progressing at all.
27:06
Speaker 16: And I think it shows just how Donald Trump is
27:09
Speaker 16: struggling to find an exit from this conflict. It's not
27:13
Speaker 16: serving him well domestically given the price of gas and
27:17
Speaker 16: petrol at the filling stations. He has midterm elections where
27:21
Speaker 16: many of his Republican lawmakers are up for election in
27:23
Speaker 16: November coming up, and at the moment he can't seem
27:27
Speaker 16: to find a way out of this. And of course
27:29
Speaker 16: it's important to note that the straight of hor moves
27:31
Speaker 16: and who is supposedly in control of It was not
27:34
Speaker 16: an issue before he began this war with Israel against Iran.
27:38
Speaker 2: Very good point in Dan A Tony Blanche. This is
27:40
Speaker 2: Trump's pick for attorney general, got the Sceenate confirmation hearing underway.
27:45
Speaker 3: Is it all going to be good for him?
27:47
Speaker 16: Well, he has, of course full Republican support in there.
27:52
Speaker 16: He has faced some difficult cross examination from Democratic lawmakers
27:57
Speaker 16: who have accused him of essentially being Donald Trump's personal lawyer,
28:01
Speaker 16: which he used to be in fact, rather than the lawyer,
28:04
Speaker 16: you know, the US's top lawyer in supposedly impartial from
28:09
Speaker 16: the president. He was also asked about whether he would
28:13
Speaker 16: meet the victims of Jeffrey Epstein in person. He kind
28:16
Speaker 16: of fludged his answer to that and said that certainly
28:19
Speaker 16: someone from his office would, but it wouldn't be him himself.
28:23
Speaker 16: But he did say when asked that Donald Trump would
28:26
Speaker 16: not be eligible to serve a third term as president.
28:30
Speaker 16: I think that is a concern that some Democrats have
28:32
Speaker 16: that he would attempt to change the constitution and stay
28:36
Speaker 16: in power longer than his two terms.
28:38
Speaker 3: All right, and thanks for your updeck, Katie Forsher, our
28:41
Speaker 3: US correspondent this morning. It is eleving away.
28:43
Speaker 1: From six Bryant Bridge.
28:45
Speaker 2: Bird flu is landed in New Zealand. One sick bird
28:47
Speaker 2: on a beach in Pa Tony. The H five strine
28:50
Speaker 2: is the one that we're talking about. Officials saying, yeah,
28:52
Speaker 2: there is a risk to poultry and beyond, but not yet.
28:56
Speaker 17: It is not a human health issue, also a food
28:59
Speaker 17: safety as a song as you're cooking your chicken, meat
29:02
Speaker 17: and eggs as you're supposed to do. You know, I
29:05
Speaker 17: feel that we are very well prepared for this disease
29:07
Speaker 17: arriving here. We are effectively one of the last places
29:10
Speaker 17: in the world to get it.
29:11
Speaker 2: Jim McGegan, University of Otago, Professor evolutionary Virologists for US
29:15
Speaker 2: this morning, Jennamen.
29:16
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning.
29:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me, I don't want people to freak out
29:21
Speaker 2: about stuff. And I'm seeing a headline from a news
29:23
Speaker 2: article right now that says newly arrived bird flu could
29:26
Speaker 2: wipe out New Zealand's endangered species expert Warms. Is that
29:31
Speaker 2: overblowing it?
29:34
Speaker 18: You know, this is a hugely significant event that we
29:38
Speaker 18: have no detected each five and one bird flu in
29:41
Speaker 18: New Zealand. It's not surprising that it is here now,
29:45
Speaker 18: given that it's spread around the world and the recent
29:48
Speaker 18: weeks of it being detected in Australia. It is, you know,
29:53
Speaker 18: a very severe infection when it comes to wildlife and poultry.
29:58
Speaker 18: And there are some species in New Zealand of birds
30:02
Speaker 18: that are already on the brink of extinction. So I
30:04
Speaker 18: wouldn't say it's overblowing it saying that, you know, these
30:09
Speaker 18: these birds are already threatened and a virus like this
30:12
Speaker 18: could be catastrophic for them.
30:14
Speaker 2: Okay, we're vaccinating them though, aren't we the breeding ones?
30:18
Speaker 3: Apparently that's yeah.
30:20
Speaker 18: So the Department of Conservation has carried out some vaccine
30:25
Speaker 18: trials over the last two years, seeing how effective they
30:28
Speaker 18: are on a number of key species that are native
30:32
Speaker 18: and endemic here that are you know, very well managed,
30:36
Speaker 18: and so over the past few weeks since the arrival
30:39
Speaker 18: of this virus in Australia, they have expended that program
30:44
Speaker 18: and so have vaccinated key species that are already highly managed.
30:49
Speaker 18: So it's quite relatively feasible for them to do that
30:54
Speaker 18: with with with animals they can catch now there are
30:58
Speaker 18: many different wildlife species. It's really hard to vaccinate, as
31:02
Speaker 18: you can imagine, So while they're can't get.
31:05
Speaker 2: Them all, can't get them all with poultry is a
31:08
Speaker 2: big business two point two billion dollars in Australia that
31:11
Speaker 2: they have had finds of single birds kind of like
31:14
Speaker 2: the one we had in Brittany, but it hasn't led
31:16
Speaker 2: to mass mortalities over there.
31:18
Speaker 3: What are you looking for? What's the next thing you
31:20
Speaker 3: look at and go, oh, it's escalating.
31:23
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, we've now seen some in Australia. We've
31:29
Speaker 18: seen sort of birds wash up on beaches and that's
31:31
Speaker 18: kind of what the pattern we're seeing here now. Once
31:35
Speaker 18: it starts spreading in New Zealand on the mainland between
31:39
Speaker 18: birds here, that's when it's escalating, and that's when there's
31:43
Speaker 18: a risk that potentially the virus could get into poultry
31:46
Speaker 18: sheds or farming. So that's the sort of point where
31:52
Speaker 18: where you'd be a bit more concerned about this.
31:54
Speaker 2: The next step. Jim, I appreciate the update. Thank you
31:56
Speaker 2: very much for being with me this morning. Jim mcgigan,
31:58
Speaker 2: University of Ottiger profess evolutionary virologist.
32:01
Speaker 3: It is eight to six. News talks have been mite
32:03
Speaker 3: with us.
32:03
Speaker 1: Next get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
32:08
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Spark for business technology that keeps business
32:13
Speaker 1: moving news talks.
32:14
Speaker 3: That'd be five to six.
32:15
Speaker 2: Apparently, this particular strain of bird flu that the academic
32:18
Speaker 2: was talking about just a second ago originated.
32:20
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety six from some Geese and China. Five
32:24
Speaker 3: to six.
32:25
Speaker 1: Yann Bridge Bridge.
32:27
Speaker 3: Mike, good morning. Hey you go good? How are you?
32:30
Speaker 8: You know?
32:31
Speaker 3: Yeah?
32:31
Speaker 13: Living the dream?
32:32
Speaker 3: What are you doing today?
32:33
Speaker 13: Well we'll talk it. What's the most respected airline in
32:37
Speaker 13: the world?
32:38
Speaker 3: Mean, well, they presumably they are on time, they they're comfortable.
32:44
Speaker 2: Well, they survey people. Is at Skytracks that does the surveys.
32:47
Speaker 3: It's a bye. I was watching a YouTube.
32:48
Speaker 2: Video two days ago about the top ten airlines premium,
32:52
Speaker 2: economy and business seats as rated by customers. There's about
32:56
