Speaker 2: US Talks b Good morning.
0:16
Speaker 3: It has just gone six after five year on news
0:18
Speaker 3: Talk said b Air raid sirens are reportedly sounding across
0:23
Speaker 3: central Israel. This as there are plans, according to the US,
0:27
Speaker 3: of an imminent attack. We will look at that this morning.
0:29
Speaker 3: Plus Marsden Point getting a lifeline of sorts and it's
0:33

Speaker 2: The agenda.
0:47
Speaker 3: It is Wednesday, the second of October. The United States
0:50
Speaker 3: has issued a statement saying it believes a ballistic missile
0:53
Speaker 3: attack from Iran on Israel could be imminent. In April,
0:57
Speaker 3: Arun launched drones and missiles towards Israel. So this happened
1:00
Speaker 3: before many of them were intercepted before heading the ground.
1:03
Speaker 4: US was actively involved in helping Israel defend itself that
1:08
Speaker 4: time around, and I'm told by a senior White House official,
1:11
Speaker 4: but that is the case in this scenario as well.
1:14
Speaker 3: US oil prices up three percent this morning, reaching around
1:18
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten New Zealand dollars on the back
1:20
Speaker 3: of that news. Cook straight fairies limping along. No plan
1:24
Speaker 3: that we know are so far for a replacement, and
1:27
Speaker 3: there's a risk of more fery breakdowns in the meantime right.
1:30
Speaker 3: Georgina Campbell from The Herald reports that we're looking at
1:32
Speaker 3: emergency towing options and how much they might cost us. Yes,
1:38
Speaker 3: new fairies are expensive, but boy, doing nothing's expensive too.
1:42
Speaker 3: Multiple children have died following a bus fire and Bangkok
1:45
Speaker 3: on a school trip. The bus crashed in caught fire.
1:47
Speaker 5: Throughout the afternoon. We've watched ambulances and trucks coming backwards
1:50
Speaker 5: and forwards along this main highway, it's one of the
1:53
Speaker 5: main highways into Bangkok. To retrieve the bodies from that
1:57
Speaker 5: burnt bus. They retrieved twenty retrieved twenty three by twenty
2:01
Speaker 5: of them.
2:01
Speaker 2: We believe our school children.
2:03
Speaker 3: Terrible news. Even Wellington City Council get this. Is pausing
2:07
Speaker 3: or canning cycle ways. An upgrade between Johnsonville and Tawer
2:11
Speaker 3: is on pause to make cost savings of Wellington is

2:27
Speaker 2: Beds and a play store News Talk sippy, Good.
2:29
Speaker 3: Morning, everybody. Nice to have your company. Just gone. Eight
2:32
Speaker 3: minutes after five. The Global Dairy Trade auction numbers are out.
2:35
Speaker 3: We'll get to those in a second. We know we
2:37
Speaker 3: love those quite well. Not terrible today, I have to say,
2:42
Speaker 3: first though, we're looking at speed and you know the
2:45
Speaker 3: Simon Brown's copying some flak for wanting to increase the
2:50
Speaker 3: speed limits on some of our state highways, for wanting
2:52
Speaker 3: to get rid of Labour's blanket ban, all that kind
2:54
Speaker 3: of stuff. I'm just wondering, if you know, as a driver,
2:58
Speaker 3: how focused are you on what you're actually doing when
3:02
Speaker 3: you're driving, Because I know when i'm driving, not that
3:05
Speaker 3: I'm on my phone, but I'm listening to the radio,
3:08
Speaker 3: I'm drinking a coffee, and I'm letting the car, which
3:12
Speaker 3: is very technologically advanced these days, take care of everything else.
3:16
Speaker 3: You know, beeps when you get close to a wall,
3:19
Speaker 3: beeps if you leave the road. There's medium barriers, there's
3:23
Speaker 3: traffic lights, there's stop signs, these giveaway signs, there's umpty
3:26
Speaker 3: in different abs breaking, I mean, you name it. The
3:29
Speaker 3: bells and whistles, we've got it. Are any of us
3:31
Speaker 3: actually thinking about what we're doing? How often have you
3:35
Speaker 3: driven been on a road trip listening to a podcast
3:38
Speaker 3: or maybe you're listening to news talks. He'd be and
3:42
Speaker 3: just completely forgotten you were driving. You know, it happens.
3:47
Speaker 3: It happens all the time. And I'm just wondering the
3:51
Speaker 3: more safety measures we put in place, the more barriers
3:56
Speaker 3: we put in, the more signs and bells and whistles
3:59
Speaker 3: and beep, be the crapper we become at driving? You know,
4:04
Speaker 3: we don't think anymore when the traffic lights go out.
4:08
Speaker 3: Do you notice how everybody is quite courteous, you know,
4:13
Speaker 3: and you're paying attention to what's going on around you
4:15
Speaker 3: because you don't want to be hit. You're actually focused,
4:20
Speaker 3: aren't you. So I'm just wondering, and maybe you disagree
4:23
Speaker 3: with this, but I'm just wondering whether the more safety
4:28
Speaker 3: measures and barriers we have in place, the worse we
4:31
Speaker 3: become at driving. Ten after five Ryan Bridge nine two
4:39
Speaker 3: is the number to text. We love your feedback. On
4:41
Speaker 3: that this morning. Don't text while you're driving, please. Their
4:44
Speaker 3: global Jerry Trade results are out. This is our fortnightly results.
4:47
Speaker 3: Up one point two percent overall, which is good because
4:50
Speaker 3: we had a big dip a couple of weeks back.
4:52
Speaker 3: You'll remember butter down slightly one point four percent, Mozzarella
4:57
Speaker 3: down seven point seven percent, and I've got to store
5:00
Speaker 3: for you this morning about mozzarella. The good news is
5:03
Speaker 3: that whole milk powders this is our big stuff. Whole
5:05
Speaker 3: milk powder is up three percent. Skim milk powders down
5:09
Speaker 3: slightly at zero point six percent. The mozzarella thing is
5:14
Speaker 3: really interesting. Can you make mozzarella cheese and call it
5:18
Speaker 3: dairy without cows? We'll look at that shortly soon. It
5:22
Speaker 3: is eleven after five Newstalks EDB.
5:34
Speaker 6: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
5:38
Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
5:42
Speaker 6: applying store News Talk.
5:43
Speaker 3: Zed B two is the number to text fourteen minutes
5:47
Speaker 3: after five on News Talks dB Ryan. Most people drive
5:50
Speaker 3: at one hundred and ten kilometers an hour on the motorways,
5:52
Speaker 3: so why don't we just make that the speed limit?
5:54
Speaker 3: I suppose that's one way to argue it, isn't it?
5:57
Speaker 3: Sim and Brown? Looking at increasing on some motorways speed
6:00
Speaker 3: limit to one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour. It
6:02
Speaker 3: does feel good when you go faster, doesn't it. Ryan,
6:06
Speaker 3: I'm never going to be a passenger in your car.
6:10
Speaker 3: I wouldn't either, Honestly, I wouldn't be a passenger in
6:12
Speaker 3: my car. Unfortunately, some people don't have a choice. Nine
6:16
Speaker 3: two nine two is the number to text. We're talking
6:18
Speaker 3: about speed limits this morning. Also, this really bizarre story
6:22
Speaker 3: that keeps popping up about and this is from the
6:25
Speaker 3: Green Building Council on Aaron Zid yesterday about them filleding
6:29
Speaker 3: calls from people who've got brand new apartments and they're overheating.
6:33
Speaker 3: What is up with that? And we're looking at our
6:35
Speaker 3: consenting laws obviously and what needs to be done. There's
6:38
Speaker 3: a review going on. But apparently what's happening is they're
6:42
Speaker 3: building apartments. They are up to their eyeballs and pink
6:45
Speaker 3: bats and then they have a tiny little crack that
6:48
Speaker 3: they allow the windows on the second floors to open
6:51
Speaker 3: because of safety someone might fall out of it. So
6:53
Speaker 3: you've got really a pink bats up the wazoo, a
6:57
Speaker 3: really hot room and very little ventilation. If you're in
7:02
Speaker 3: one of those times, I feel sorry for you. Nine
7:04
Speaker 3: two ninety two. It is a quarter past five am Bridge.
7:08
Speaker 3: So this developing news out of the US this morning
7:11
Speaker 3: to do with the Middle East. Officials there believe Iran
7:14
Speaker 3: could be preparing to imminently strike Israel with a ballistic missile. Now,
7:19
Speaker 3: there have been reports in the last few minutes of
7:22
Speaker 3: air sirens sounding in central Israel. Will keep you up
7:26
Speaker 3: to speed with what's happening there. First, though, we're going
7:28
Speaker 3: to Danielle McLoughlin, a US correspondent political commentator, because there
7:32
Speaker 3: is a vice presidential debate happening in the US today.
7:35
Speaker 3: But first, Danielle, what is the latest from the White House?
7:39
Speaker 7: Right Ryan? So, you know, typically for any US administration,
7:43
Speaker 7: they have said that they're tracking events very closely, of course,
7:47
Speaker 7: and they're committed to Israel's defense. What that likely means
7:51
Speaker 7: is the same thing that happened back in April, where
7:53
Speaker 7: there was another attack that came from inside Iran, and
7:57
Speaker 7: the US defense forces, both by ship and by air,
8:01
Speaker 7: helped get rid of about three hundred drones and missiles
8:04
Speaker 7: basically shoot goes down before they got close to Israel.
8:08
Speaker 7: So if it comes to that, the US will step
8:10
Speaker 7: in a defensive role.
8:11
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other big thing happening in the US, of course,
8:13
Speaker 3: is this, what's the final debate in the election? JD.
8:17
Speaker 3: Vance and Tim Walls, because the Trump Harris campaigns aren't
8:21
Speaker 3: doing another one.
8:23
Speaker 7: No, Well, Kamala Harris has said, you know, I'm up
8:26
Speaker 7: for it, and Trump has currently said that he's not.
8:28
Speaker 7: I think that choice may depend ultimately on how Vance
8:32
Speaker 7: does tonight against Waltz. You've got this really sort of interesting,
8:37
Speaker 7: really really different couple of guys, right, You've obviously got
8:39
Speaker 7: Republican versus Democrat. You've got a Yale law school grad
8:43
Speaker 7: and former private equity guy versus a former public school
8:47
Speaker 7: teacher and football coach. You know, very different in their approach.
8:50
Speaker 7: Vance is very much a kind of a firebrand and
8:52
Speaker 7: in a lot of ways is more conservative than Trump,
8:55
Speaker 7: whereas whereas Waltz is a little bit more moderate. You know,
8:59
Speaker 7: he seems kind of like nice, sort of older white guy.
9:02
Speaker 7: I had to put it that way, but it's true,
9:04
Speaker 7: and he's going to be aiming for the middle because
9:06
Speaker 7: some people see Carmel Harris as too far right, as
9:09
Speaker 7: left to progressive.
9:11
Speaker 3: People hate Varn saying.
9:14
Speaker 7: He is the least liked the vice presidential candidate in
9:18
Speaker 7: the last thirty years, even LEAs like even less liked
9:24
Speaker 7: than Sarah Palin, which is saying.
9:26
Speaker 3: Is saying something. Do you think people are going to
9:28
Speaker 3: watch this debate? Because I was having a look at
9:30
Speaker 3: the audience size. There was sixty seven million for the
9:34
Speaker 3: Trump Harris debate, and the VP debates typically don't do
9:39
Speaker 3: that well, although Palen, you mentioned Palin Biden in two
9:43
Speaker 3: thousand and eight, that was the biggest audience for a
9:46
Speaker 3: VP debate ever, because obviously everybody wanted to see what
9:49
Speaker 3: Sarah Palin was going to say. Do you think maybe
9:53
Speaker 3: because Vance is so disliked, that people might tune in
9:57
Speaker 3: just to see what happens.
10:00
Speaker 7: Suggesting there's going to be some hate watching. Ryan, Hey,
10:03
Speaker 7: I actually think you make a really good point, and
10:05
Speaker 7: I don't mean to overstate, but I do think these
10:09
Speaker 7: two are going to make a difference to the presidential
10:12
Speaker 7: candidates in ways that we really don't see that often. Right,
10:16
Speaker 7: Normally VP picks are pretty safe, but these guys are,
10:20
Speaker 7: you know, a little especially with Dvance really kind of
10:22
Speaker 7: out of the mainstream, and for someone who used to
10:25
Speaker 7: be a vocal vote Trump critic, he's gone really far,
10:28
Speaker 7: actually further out to the right than Trump has himself.
10:32
Speaker 7: So his attacks cat ladies, you know, his attack Taylor Sworth.
10:35
Speaker 7: He's repeated these crazy things about people eating pets in
10:39
Speaker 7: the Midwest. I think there is more bars about this
10:42
Speaker 7: than in normal years, when you know, the VP doesn't
10:46
Speaker 7: feel like it matters.
10:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you might be right there, Danielle,
10:49
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your time. Daniel McLoughlin. You
10:51
Speaker 3: is correspondent political commentator out in New York City.
10:54
Speaker 2: News and Views you trust.
10:56
Speaker 6: To start your day, It's early edition with Ryan Bridge
11:00
Speaker 6: in Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a Flying Store.
11:03
Speaker 2: News Talk ZIB.
11:04
Speaker 3: Twenty one after five. Welcome back. So I'm going to
11:07
Speaker 3: tell you in just a few moments after just before
11:09
Speaker 3: the news at five thirty, actually, I'm going to tell
11:11
Speaker 3: you who I think has been forgotten in this capital
11:14
Speaker 3: gains tax debate. We're also going to chat to Gavin
11:17
Speaker 3: Gray out of the UK at a quarter to six
11:20
Speaker 3: this morning. Marine la pen Is on trial in Paris.
11:24
Speaker 3: Also James McKenzie he's the Routers Bureau chief for Israel
11:28
Speaker 3: and Palestine. We'll get the latest out of the Middle
11:30
Speaker 3: East in just a few moments. Twenty one after five,
11:32
Speaker 3: Brian Bridge, A new biorefinery at the Marsden Point Energy
11:36
Speaker 3: Precinct is being proposed. This is never knows. Marsden Point
11:39
Speaker 3: Channel Infrastructure has announced it's enterday conditional project development agreement
11:44
Speaker 3: with Sedra Energy. It would utilize some of the oil
11:48
Speaker 3: refinery's decommissioned assets, which would be refurbished and reconfigured, and
11:53
Speaker 3: it would take up approximately eighteen to twenty hectares of
11:55
Speaker 3: land at the site. So it is good news, some
11:58
Speaker 3: reprieve for Northland. Brian as the Bio Energy Association Chief executive,
12:02
Speaker 3: he joins me this morning, Good morning, Brian, good morning,
12:05
Speaker 3: how are you. I'm well, thank you. How hard is
12:07
Speaker 3: it to convert an oil refinery into a biorefinery.
12:12
Speaker 8: Oh, that's quite commonly done around the world, although normally
12:16
Speaker 8: it's done with an operating refinery, and unfortunately this one
12:20
Speaker 8: was decommissioned and pulled apart, so this makes it a
12:24
Speaker 8: lot harder to put it back together. But on the
12:27
Speaker 8: other hand, I suppose it's lately goo. You know, you've
12:30
Speaker 8: started fresh and you do different things.
12:33
Speaker 3: Any idea how big this might be, how many jobs
12:36
Speaker 3: that kind of thing.
12:37
Speaker 8: No, the aspect of what we're looking at here is
12:40
Speaker 8: very early days and I don't know the detailed specific
12:45
Speaker 8: in myself, but in general I can comment. And the
12:49
Speaker 8: aspect of where we're going is that as we have
12:53
Speaker 8: to replace petroleum type materials, whether it's for fuels with
12:57
Speaker 8: a bio fuel, or whether it's plastic moving to bioplastics,
13:02
Speaker 8: all of these require the processing of the organics or
13:06
Speaker 8: the biomass into a material that is then able to
13:09
Speaker 8: be used as either that fuel or as a plastic
13:13
Speaker 8: or any other bio based material.
13:15
Speaker 3: What sort of organics are we typically using?
13:19
Speaker 8: Look, we're not sure. I don't know enough about what
13:22
Speaker 8: they are proposing on this, and I think for my
13:25
Speaker 8: reading of it, it's very early days also for themselves.
13:28
Speaker 8: But the aspect is we could use the natural resources
13:32
Speaker 8: that New Zealander is rich for the biggest part of
13:35
Speaker 8: course is biomass from trees. And you know a tree
13:39
Speaker 8: is a collection of chemicals that are holding hands in
13:45
Speaker 8: a way which looks like a tree. We pull them
13:47
Speaker 8: apart and we can repackage them to look like a
13:51
Speaker 8: plastic handbag or something like this. So the aspect is
13:56
Speaker 8: that we can look at quite small ones. There are
14:00
Speaker 8: people around New Zealand already who are doing this on
14:04
Speaker 8: a small scale.
14:07
Speaker 3: Go both isn't the problem though it's quite hard to
14:09
Speaker 3: get to these trees, quite a labor intensive thing to do,
14:12
Speaker 3: and to drag them out of the forest and take
14:15
Speaker 3: them down to a biorefinery.
14:18
Speaker 8: Well, you don't actually have any option as if you
14:21
Speaker 8: think about how if we don't have petroleum and it's
14:25
Speaker 8: one day for whatever reason we won't have it or
14:28
Speaker 8: it'll be too expensive, then what are your options? And
14:31
Speaker 8: you don't have any other options? So it's a better
14:34
Speaker 8: of it's not a better cost.
14:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Brian, thank you very much for your time.
14:37
Speaker 3: It's Brian Cox. Here's the Bio Energy Association executive officer
14:41
Speaker 3: with us this morning talking about I mean it is
14:43
Speaker 3: got some good news for Marsden Point, the energy precinct
14:47
Speaker 3: that could go from oil to biomass. It has just
14:50
Speaker 3: gone twenty five minutes after five. If you're on Newstalks,
14:52
Speaker 3: here'd beat nine to nine two is the numbers of
14:54
Speaker 3: text coming up next? Why businesses Are they forgotten victims
14:59
Speaker 3: in this whole capital gains tax debate?
15:03
Speaker 6: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered
15:07
Speaker 6: by NEWSTALKSB.
15:09
Speaker 3: It is twenty seven half to five year on News
15:11
Speaker 3: TALKSB this morning. Great to have your company. So Luxeon's
15:14
Speaker 3: back in the news, so's Jacinda. Actually this is a
15:18
Speaker 3: Bryce Edwoods piece written about our MPs. So apparently own
15:22
Speaker 3: two point two homes per MP, more than most of us.
15:26
Speaker 3: Jasindra Adern made more than three hundred k while she
15:29
Speaker 3: was in office selling a property our prime minister. Luxeon
15:31
Speaker 3: has made close to half a million dollars in capital gain.
15:35
Speaker 3: I should say we don't know what he's spent on them. Now,
15:38
Speaker 3: let's really talk about a capital gains tax, because we
15:40
Speaker 3: essentially have one on investment property. It's the bright line test.
15:44
Speaker 3: You can argue over how long that should be, and
15:47
Speaker 3: governments have changed this from red to blue, you know,
15:49
Speaker 3: ten to two years. So let's sideline property for just
15:53
Speaker 3: a second and talk about businesses. Do you really think
15:57
Speaker 3: it's fair to tax the gain on sale of a business?
16:02
Speaker 3: Business owners take huge risk, They work incredibly hard, and
16:06
Speaker 3: I'm not saying we don't, but they do work incredibly hard.
16:09
Speaker 3: There's the stress, the late nights, the untold hours of
16:11
Speaker 3: lost sleep. They employ people, they pay them, they pay
16:16
Speaker 3: tax on their earnings as they go. They help support jobs,
16:19
Speaker 3: They grow the economy. They provide that tax base that
16:22
Speaker 3: we so desperately need for hospitals and education, et cetera.
16:25
Speaker 3: And then when they finally are either burnt out or
16:28
Speaker 3: wanting to move on and grow something else, bang, we
16:33
Speaker 3: hit them with a tax on the sale of their business.
16:37
Speaker 3: That doesn't seem fair to me. We need people to
16:40
Speaker 3: invest confidently into their businesses and grow them for the
16:43
Speaker 3: benefit of all of us. I don't think a capital
16:46
Speaker 3: gains tax on businesses will achieve that. And bread rich,
16:52
Speaker 3: I would love to know your thoughts. Twenty nine minutes
16:53
Speaker 3: half to five nine two ninety two is the number
16:56
Speaker 3: to text mozzarella cheese in Israel. Story out of the
17:00
Speaker 3: BBC this morning. They're making it without dairy without cows.
17:05
Speaker 3: Can you have mozzarella cheese without a and call it
17:07
Speaker 3: dairy without a cow? I don't think so. Does it
17:10
Speaker 3: present an existential threat to our mozzarella cheese? We'll talk
17:15
Speaker 3: about that a little bit later on too. Plus the
17:17
Speaker 3: latest out of the Middle East and Gavin Gray in
17:19
Speaker 3: the UK.
17:37
Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition

18:01
Speaker 3: joining us, it's all going off in the Middle East again.
18:05
Speaker 3: Iran is, according to the ABC, going to launch two
18:09
Speaker 3: hundred and forty to two hundred and fifty missiles into Israel.
18:13
Speaker 3: This attack, according to the White House, is going to
18:16
Speaker 3: happen imminently now. The US Embassy in Tel Aviv has
18:20
Speaker 3: issued a shelter in place warning for its staff. There
18:23
Speaker 3: some context around this. It's happened before, so Iran has
18:27
Speaker 3: directly fired missiles and used drones against Israel back in April.
18:32
Speaker 3: That was the first time they had done it. Then
18:34
Speaker 3: ninety nine percent of those were intercepted before they managed
18:38
Speaker 3: to hit Israeli soil. So the United States is working
18:43
Speaker 3: with its ally in the region, Israel, to try and
18:46
Speaker 3: make sure that that happens again. Essentially that the defense works,
18:51
Speaker 3: that the safety works, that the Iron Dome protects Israel
18:55
Speaker 3: from these anyway, We're going to our Middle East correspondent
18:59
Speaker 3: this morning, who is an Israel that is coming up.
19:02
Speaker 2: Just before six Ryan Bridge.
19:04
Speaker 3: Right now, We're going to our reporters around the country.
19:06
Speaker 3: We start and Dunedin with Cullum proct to. Cullum calls
19:09
Speaker 3: for the government to be transparent about the Dunedin hospital blowout.
19:14
Speaker 9: Yr Morning, Ryan. This is from klufther Meyr Brian Kadogan.
19:17
Speaker 9: He's come out swinging today over the matter. He says
19:19
Speaker 9: people of the South have the right to see the
19:21
Speaker 9: details of the so called three billion dollar hospital cost
19:25
Speaker 9: blowout and that's last week by the government. He says
19:28
Speaker 9: the figures should be there for the public to see. Also,
19:31
Speaker 9: the Dunedin City Councils published a full page open letter
19:34
Speaker 9: in the local paper here today addressed to the politicians
19:37
Speaker 9: at Wellington. Are they calling on them to listen to
19:40
Speaker 9: the people of the South and build what was promised?
19:42
Speaker 9: Meror Jill's Radics says they're not ruling out further protest action.
19:46
Speaker 3: How's your weather today, Clem, It's.
19:48
Speaker 9: Not a good to heavy rain watch here for tomorrow.
19:50
Speaker 9: But the rain develops this morning with a southerly around midday.
19:54
Speaker 9: Are high today of fourteenth.
19:56
Speaker 3: Right, thank you, Claires and christ Church this morning. Clear.
19:58
Speaker 3: The families of the CTV building collapse coming to the
20:02
Speaker 3: Council today, That's right, Ryan.
20:04
Speaker 10: The group is addressing Council today with concerns over proposed
20:08
Speaker 10: building consent changes. Of course, one hundred and fifteen people
20:11
Speaker 10: died when the CTV building pancakes and the earthquake. The
20:15
Speaker 10: government's proposing to overhaul the consenting process, which sees different
20:19
Speaker 10: interpretations across the country. The concern from the CTV Families Group, though,
20:24
Speaker 10: is that shortcuts could be taken and that could lead
20:27
Speaker 10: to another disaster. Family spokesperson man Al Casey will address
20:31
Speaker 10: Council today and Engineering in zed Disciplinary Committee just last
20:35
Speaker 10: week upheld a complaint against Alan Ray, whose company designed
20:39
Speaker 10: the building as well.
20:40
Speaker 3: Right. How's your weather, Claire, cloud.
20:42
Speaker 10: Increasing, A bit of rain on the forecast this evening,
20:44
Speaker 10: northeasterlies and a high of eighteen.
20:46
Speaker 3: The rains that are a common clear. Thank Hugh Maxis
20:48
Speaker 3: and Wellington max The interesting article in the Herald this
20:52
Speaker 3: morning about the fairies. It's how do we tow them?
20:57
Speaker 11: Yeah, how do you solve a problem like the end
20:58
Speaker 11: of Islander? Nikola willis away Back told us the government
21:02
Speaker 11: would have a solution by the end of September. Now
21:05
Speaker 11: the expectation is before the end of the year. It Meanwhile,
21:08
Speaker 11: Treasury officials warning us the likelihood remains of incidents in
21:12
Speaker 11: the cooks straight breakdowns, equipment failures, power outages, and that
21:16
Speaker 11: our ability to respond is limited. Treasury Ministry of Transport
21:20
Speaker 11: want to look at a business case to investigate, as
21:23
Speaker 11: you say, emergency towing possibilities. Maritime is understandably worried and
21:29
Speaker 11: so you've got officials discussing what options remain after the
21:34
Speaker 11: previous multi billion dollar deal was scrapped, the concern whether
21:37
Speaker 11: it's would be good for money. What's left? We talked
21:41
Speaker 11: last week about the push for any new ferries to
21:43
Speaker 11: be rail enabled. The final call on all of this
21:46
Speaker 11: will lie with ministers in probably the next month or two.
21:50
Speaker 3: All right, thank you for their weather in Wellington today.
21:53
Speaker 11: Mix partley, cloudy with some stronger northeries, a high of
21:56
Speaker 11: sixteen in the city.
21:58
Speaker 3: All right, thank you. Neva is an with us this morning.
22:00
Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning, lovely to see you. Yes, the
22:04
Speaker 3: overnight parking, so we're all going to have to pay
22:06
Speaker 3: for the parking or what.
22:07
Speaker 12: Well, this is going to be good news because it
22:10
Speaker 12: has been delayed and I think some Auckland has a
22:12
Speaker 12: lot of Auckland's will be happy about that. This is
22:14
Speaker 12: about the new overnight parking charges and the CBD. Now
22:17
Speaker 12: they were due to come into force yesterday. This is
22:20
Speaker 12: where previous parking had been free outside those peak hours
22:23
Speaker 12: of eight am to six pm or now at well,
22:26
Speaker 12: they had delayed the changes back in May, right, that
22:28
Speaker 12: was back in May, also apologizing to be Wayne Brown
22:31
Speaker 12: over inadequate communication because Wayne Brown was like, come on,
22:34
Speaker 12: what's going on here? Communicate? So now in a statement
22:37
Speaker 12: at says that the latest delay now this is about
22:41
Speaker 12: allowing all the feedback to be heard on a suitable proposal.
22:45
Speaker 12: So they're not going to make a decision until December
22:48
Speaker 12: at the earliest. So that's good because yeah, like as
22:50
Speaker 12: you say, there's a lot of those apartments, residential apartments
22:54
Speaker 12: that are affected because you know, if you've got two
22:57
Speaker 12: cars and there's only one park and you know one
22:59
Speaker 12: has to park outside, so you know you bag it.
23:02
Speaker 3: Aren't you you are? You are nineteen away from six?
23:05
Speaker 3: How is the weather in Auckland today now?
23:07
Speaker 12: Sat a chowers turning to raye tonight possibly heavy. Then
23:09
Speaker 12: we've got these strong northeasterlies gusting this afternoon. Nineteen is the.

23:24
Speaker 3: are being fired at Israel. So there are reports now
23:27
Speaker 3: from the IDF that rockets are being fired from Iran
23:31
Speaker 3: into Israel. We're going to talk to our Gavin Gray
23:35

24:33
Speaker 6: Z International correspondence with Ens and Eye Insurance, Peace of
24:38
Speaker 6: mind for New Zealand business if.
24:40
Speaker 3: You're just joining us with thorning. The Asradi Defense course
24:42
Speaker 3: says that missiles are being intercepted over Israel. They are
24:46
Speaker 3: being fired from Iran. We'll have more on that in
24:49
Speaker 3: just a few moments. Right now, though, we're going to
24:51
Speaker 3: Gavin Gray, our UK europe correspondent. The UK government they're
24:54
Speaker 3: chartering a commercial flight to help get Brits out of Lebanon. Yep.
25:00
Speaker 13: Round they're up to six thousand UK nationals in leben
25:03
Speaker 13: and some of course won't want to leave, and others
25:05
Speaker 13: are still catching the few remaining commercial flights that are
25:09
Speaker 13: out there. But this is the first of what potentially
25:11
Speaker 13: could be several chartered flights by the British government. The
25:15
Speaker 13: British Government will pay for them. They'll depart from Beirut,
25:19
Speaker 13: but British Nationals are then going to be asked to
25:21
Speaker 13: be paying a fee of sort of seven hundred and
25:23
Speaker 13: fifty eight hundred New Zealand dollars per seat. You can,
25:27
Speaker 13: if you're a British national or dependent living in Lebanon,
25:30
Speaker 13: request the space on the flight, and any non British
25:33
Speaker 13: dependents board in the flight will require a visa. British
25:37
Speaker 13: nationals and also for their spouse and partner. Children under
25:40
Speaker 13: the age of eighteen are eligible to take it. Those
25:43
Speaker 13: who are vulnerable, elderly or indeed with children will have
25:47
Speaker 13: a priority. And the plane we believe is scheduled to
25:50
Speaker 13: leave roughly twenty four hours time from Beirut back to
25:54
Speaker 13: the UK and I imagine it'll be very popular as
25:56
Speaker 13: things get very uncomfortable.
25:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's certainly hitting up, isn't it. Marine Lapin very quickly.
26:01
Speaker 3: What's happening with her, the far right leader in France.
26:05
Speaker 13: Yeah, So a trial expected last up to two months
26:08
Speaker 13: has begun with the Marine La Penn and twenty other
26:10
Speaker 13: senior figures in her far right National Rally party in France.
26:15
Speaker 13: They're accused of hiring assistants who worked on their own
26:18
Speaker 13: party affairs rather than for the European Parliament, and it
26:22
Speaker 13: was the European Parliament who's been paying their salary. Now,
26:26
Speaker 13: if found guilty, she could face fines and imprisonment, but
26:29
Speaker 13: also potentially be declared ineligible to run for office for
26:33
Speaker 13: up to ten years, and that, of course Ryan will
26:35
Speaker 13: seriously dent her presidential ambition.
26:38
Speaker 3: Certainly. Well, thank you so much for that. That is
26:40
Speaker 3: Gavin Gray, a UK europe correspondent, just gone thirteen minutes away.
26:43
Speaker 2: From six Ryan Bridge.
26:46
Speaker 3: So the Israeli Defense Force is reporting right now that
26:49
Speaker 3: rockets are being filed, missiles are being fired from Iran
26:54
Speaker 3: into Israel being intercepted by the Iron Dome.
26:58
Speaker 14: The sky is above us are lighting up. We are
27:01
Speaker 14: seeing Israeli Iron Dome interceptors and they appear to be
27:06
Speaker 14: shooting down some of these missiles as they streak over
27:10
Speaker 14: the skies of northern Israel.
27:13
Speaker 3: James McKinzie is the ROYCES Bureau chief for Israel and Palestine.
27:16
Speaker 3: He's with US Live this morning. James, Welcome to the show. Hello,
27:21
Speaker 3: tell me what's happening at the moment.
27:25
Speaker 15: Well, yes, as you were hearing this is a missile,
27:30
Speaker 15: Barratt has been going on the sirens, sounding warning alerts
27:33
Speaker 15: being sent out to people's mobile phones to take cover
27:36
Speaker 15: and go to the shelters. This is, you know, the
27:43
Speaker 15: second attack by Iran, an early one in April, and
27:47
Speaker 15: this is happening in the moment. It's a little difficult
27:51
Speaker 15: to tell exactly what the impact has been. Certainly we
27:53
Speaker 15: can hear booms, which are the typical when the when
27:57
Speaker 15: the aerial defense system hits these missile. You know, we
28:01
Speaker 15: canne the sirens, and you know, we're really just sort
28:04
Speaker 15: of waiting to see how it's all in the playout.
28:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, as you say, it is, it is early days.
28:10
Speaker 3: It's only just happened in the last sort of ten
28:12
Speaker 3: to fifteen minutes it started. But how big of a
28:15
Speaker 3: deal is it given that that you know, Iran has
28:18
Speaker 3: done this before in April, as you said, most of
28:20
Speaker 3: the missiles were intercepted.
28:24
Speaker 15: Well, it's a very big deal in a sense, almost
28:28
Speaker 15: regardless of whether the you know, of how successful area
28:32
Speaker 15: defense system is, because you know, the first, the first
28:37
Speaker 15: time this happened, not no significant damage was or very
28:43
Speaker 15: little significant damage was caused, and you know, they seem
28:47
Speaker 15: to be sort of tacit agreement to let it slide
28:50
Speaker 15: is well, you know, struck back also in a kind
28:54
Speaker 15: of limited way. But I think if it happens again,
28:56
Speaker 15: then mistakes are definitely raised. We've already seen, you know,
29:00
Speaker 15: really sharp up together essentially the beginning of a war
29:03
Speaker 15: in Lebanon. You know, very very heavy is rarely air strikes.
29:08
Speaker 15: This morning a ground incursion by commandos. Move the silent
29:13
Speaker 15: background is now U And I think you know this
29:18
Speaker 15: is you know, a very potentially a very dangerous step
29:23
Speaker 15: up from that. You know, we're gonna have to see
29:27
Speaker 15: what they decided to do, but you know, I think
29:30
Speaker 15: this is definitely a very serious step.
29:33
Speaker 3: James, where are you right now?
29:37
Speaker 15: I'm in our office in Jerusalem and I'm where you
29:41
Speaker 15: can maybe hear the hear the siren?
29:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you not in a bombshell or are you
29:47
Speaker 3: just in your office?
29:49
Speaker 15: Well, we have it. We have a we have a bombshell,
29:51
Speaker 15: so that in our office.
29:53
Speaker 3: That's why I am And and can you tell me
29:55
Speaker 3: do you think Israel is feeling I don't know if
29:59
Speaker 3: emboldened is the right word to respond, but after obviously
30:02
Speaker 3: taking out in israela and you know, going after his billa,
30:06
Speaker 3: do you think that perhaps Israel's response to Iran, you know,
30:12
Speaker 3: to these attacks might be stronger, might be different.
30:16
Speaker 15: I think so. I mean, it does seem, you know
30:18
Speaker 15: that they were for a long time as well as
30:21
Speaker 15: been kind of on the back foot over the you know,
30:24
Speaker 15: the very the very critical you know, the world reaction
30:30
Speaker 15: to you know, the campaign in Gaza with you know,
30:33
Speaker 15: which has caused these these these huge number of casualties
30:36
Speaker 15: can caused so much damage. I think you know that
30:39
Speaker 15: that the sort of public moves been very much, you know,
30:44
Speaker 15: from Israeli point of view, the successful operations that have
30:48
Speaker 15: been having in on you know, the assassination of all
30:52
Speaker 15: these you know, essentially the decapitation of the edible movement,
30:57
Speaker 15: the leader, the raft of other you know, I think.
31:08
Speaker 3: I think we might be losing James there. That is
31:10
Speaker 3: the voice of James mackenzie. He's the Reuters bureau chief
31:13
Speaker 3: for Israel and Palestine. Are currently sheltering in a bomb
31:17
Speaker 3: shelter inside the router's office in Jerusalem talking to us there.
31:21
Speaker 3: The sirens you can hear in the background are air
31:23
Speaker 3: sirens from warning of other imminent or a current strike
31:30
Speaker 3: from Iran. We're hearing from the Israeli Defense Force that
31:34
Speaker 3: at least one hundred missiles have been launched just in
31:38
Speaker 3: the last ten to fifteen minutes from Iran into Israel.
31:42
Speaker 3: It is eight to six News Talks AB.
31:45
Speaker 6: The news you need this morning and the in depth
31:47
Speaker 6: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New
31:51
Speaker 6: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store.
31:54
Speaker 2: News Talk ZB.
31:55
Speaker 3: Five away from six on News Talk ZB We've been
31:57
Speaker 3: debating this morning the capital gains tax. Is it fair
31:59
Speaker 3: on businesses? Bob says no, not fear to slap a
32:04
Speaker 3: business owner with a capital gains text when they try
32:06
Speaker 3: to sell, and Others says absolutely, we all pay text.
32:09
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they? Aren't you bored of this? Were capital
32:12
Speaker 3: gains tax? I'm so bored of it?
32:13
Speaker 6: No?
32:14
Speaker 2: Why?
32:14
Speaker 3: Well, because it's going to happen. It's inevitable. No, it's not.
32:18
Speaker 3: It is We're going to have a capital gains tech
32:19
Speaker 3: well we already have one, really because the gap between
32:25
Speaker 3: the wealth gap is increasing and when it does us
32:27
Speaker 3: fix it.
32:28
Speaker 16: No, No, is it inevitable.
32:30
Speaker 3: Because it's that's politics. Stop parroting the labor parties. No, No,
32:34
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm just saying
32:36
Speaker 3: I think it will.
32:37
Speaker 16: I reckon there's a risk, and this is what this
32:39
Speaker 16: is the view that I'm starting to form. I reckon,
32:41
Speaker 16: there's a risk that we've harped on about this thing
32:43
Speaker 16: for such a long time that it's actually got so
32:45
Speaker 16: boring that it doesn't happen.
32:48
Speaker 3: You mean, like climate change, kind of like you get
32:50
Speaker 3: over the hump of it and then you're on the
32:52
Speaker 3: other side.
32:53
Speaker 16: I think we've held out with white knuckled the hard
32:55
Speaker 16: but here and the indication of that is that the
32:57
Speaker 16: Labor Party itself, who have been banging on about this
33:01
Speaker 16: for like a decade, have now finally stopped talking about
33:04
Speaker 16: this in lieu of talking about a capital a capital
33:06
Speaker 16: income test. They're relabeling it and talking about a wealth tax.
33:11
Speaker 16: And so they themselves have moved on from this god
33:14
Speaker 16: awful boring topic like mobot.
33:17
Speaker 3: I look, I agree with you, I agree with you,
33:19
Speaker 3: and I've been through that. I've went through that election
33:20
Speaker 3: campaign when you know the Labor Party was pushing it
33:23
Speaker 3: with golf and whatnot, like, oh god, you're flogging a
33:26
Speaker 3: dead horse. It will happen at some point.
33:28
Speaker 16: Okay, well we'll take a bet.
33:29
Speaker 3: We'll take a bit. Yeah, I don't come up the
33:32
Speaker 3: game that all of you your house, the game that
33:36
Speaker 3: justin made, the game that lacks and made. Who's on
33:38
Speaker 3: the show today, Listen.
33:39
Speaker 16: This Iranian situation is definitely a massive escalation and the
33:43
Speaker 16: very thing we've been worried about, like the hope was
33:45
Speaker 16: around would be all hot air as they always are.
33:48
Speaker 16: But they have fired the missiles.
33:49
Speaker 3: Does the spring the US?
