Speaker 2: Eric Abram Abrams, the Democrat, has been charged with campaign finance,
0:47

1:06
Speaker 4: That have unfolded over the last ten months, the elite,
1:14

1:23
Speaker 2: To the war. Now Israel says no to a cease

Speaker 2: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
1:31
Speaker 5: Israel Lebanon can choose a different path. This way to

1:43
Speaker 2: Nittnya, who is in New York for the UN General

1:53
Speaker 2: the Security Council.
1:54

1:58
Speaker 6: of the people in the room keep quiet.
2:04

2:21
Speaker 1: News and Views You Trust to start your day is
2:24
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
2:28
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a flying store.
2:30
Speaker 2: News Talk Sibby, Welcome to your Friday. I've had lots
2:34
Speaker 2: of messages from people actually after watching that Winston Peters
2:37
Speaker 2: clip saying, gee, I'm proud of Winston because he's sort
2:41
Speaker 2: of like I mean, we wouldn't compare it to the
2:43
Speaker 2: David Longey Oxford Union speech for me, but he's sort
2:46
Speaker 2: of taking them on and just don't know how many people.
2:49
Speaker 2: We couldn't see the camera, couldn't tell you who else
2:52
Speaker 2: was talking while he was talking. But it is rude
2:54
Speaker 2: to talk while someone else is talking, isn't it. So
2:56
Speaker 2: there you go. We're proud of Winston Peters for standing
2:59
Speaker 2: up to Theecurity Council, to the chit chat at the
3:01
Speaker 2: Security Council. It has just gone on nine minutes after
3:04
Speaker 2: five year. On News Talk said be we're going to
3:06
Speaker 2: talk teachers' unions. Do they annoy you? I think they
3:11
Speaker 2: do the teachers a disservice. And the reason I say
3:14
Speaker 2: that is every time the government does something, they just
3:17
Speaker 2: oppose it, no matter whether it's more funding. Remember they
3:20
Speaker 2: gave them more funding a couple of weeks ago, and
3:22
Speaker 2: the unions came out and said, nah, it's what this
3:27
Speaker 2: is what you're supposed to be fighting for. Anyway. The
3:32
Speaker 2: latest changes is to do with truancy and to do
3:34
Speaker 2: with teacher only days. And on the teacher only days,
3:38
Speaker 2: they've said the government has said do them in the holidays,
3:42
Speaker 2: fair enough, don't do them during term time, and some
3:45
Speaker 2: teachers have come out and said, well, that's undermining our
3:47
Speaker 2: profession really, And on what difference will a couple of
3:52
Speaker 2: days teacher only days make to the students learning? That
3:55
Speaker 2: is the very attitude that the students have, Oh, what
3:58
Speaker 2: does it matter if I take a day or two off,
4:00
Speaker 2: or that the parents have. What doesn't matter if I
4:02
Speaker 2: take a day or two off and go to Queenstown
4:04
Speaker 2: or go to Fiji, or just not send my kids
4:06
Speaker 2: to school, whatever the reason might be. Isn't that the
4:09
Speaker 2: very attitude that has got us into this mess in
4:11
Speaker 2: the first place? Because attendance rates are pretty dismal. Nine
4:17
Speaker 2: two nine two is the number to text. I'd love
4:18
Speaker 2: to keep your views on that. This morning, we are
4:20
Speaker 2: gonna speak to Linda Stewart from may Road Primary. This
4:23
Speaker 2: is a principal from west Auckland. She's got a lot
4:27
Speaker 2: to say about it. Just before six, just gone ten
4:29
Speaker 2: after five.
4:29
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge somewhat.
4:33
Speaker 2: Also this morning, Elliott Smith News Talk, zibbi's Voice of Rugby.
4:38
Speaker 2: He will be with us from Wellington. Apparently there's some
4:41
Speaker 2: flight disruptions yesterday. Bit of wind, not surprising because it's Wellington.
4:45
Speaker 2: New numbers out this morning on the number of kiwis
4:48
Speaker 2: who are considering taking a second job. Not surprising. You
4:53
Speaker 2: basically need it because income right, cost of living. The number, though,
4:57
Speaker 2: is quite interesting. We'd love to hear from it. One
5:00
Speaker 2: who's got a second job? Nine two, nine and two.
5:02
Speaker 2: How many jobs do you have? I've got a friend
5:04
Speaker 2: who's got three jobs. How do you even keep up
5:07
Speaker 2: with that? Colleagues barely know him. He's a ghost at
5:10
Speaker 2: all three jobs. But there you go, he's got three jobs.
5:12
Speaker 2: Eleven minutes after five, you're on news Talk, said b.
5:16
Speaker 1: M Imply the times shame the news you need this
5:21
Speaker 1: morning and the in depth analysis early edition with Ryan
5:25
Speaker 1: Bridge and Swift City, New Zealand's furniture beds and applying store.
5:29
Speaker 2: News Talk said be thirteen after five. These teacher only days.
5:33
Speaker 2: This is from one of our listeners this morning, Ryan,
5:35
Speaker 2: These teacher only days. Are so difficult to handle with
5:37
Speaker 2: both parents working. The term holidays are hard enough. Definitely
5:41
Speaker 2: have your teacher only days during the breaks, Ryan, I
5:44
Speaker 2: have to wonder if the yeah, this is talking about
5:49
Speaker 2: something completely different but which we will get to, and
5:51
Speaker 2: that is having a second job. There are new numbers
5:54
Speaker 2: out this morning. In fact, I can tell you what
5:55
Speaker 2: they are right now. So forty nine percent of KIBI
5:57
Speaker 2: workers are considering taking on a second job in the
6:00
Speaker 2: next twelve months. Most of those is basically because you
6:04
Speaker 2: need more money and others. Thirty two percent said it
6:08
Speaker 2: was to provide extra funds for discretionary spending. So you
6:11
Speaker 2: want to go to the movies, you need a second job. Basically,
6:14
Speaker 2: I have a second job, and I had to sort
6:17
Speaker 2: of arrange it before I got here in order that
6:20
Speaker 2: it would happen. I think because it's harder once you're
6:22
Speaker 2: in a job and you want to do some little
6:24
Speaker 2: side hustle or whatever, it's kind of harder to do it.
6:27
Speaker 2: So if you can do it before you arrived, then
6:29
Speaker 2: all power to you. Anyway, Fifty six percent believe their
6:33
Speaker 2: employer would be supportive of them taking on a second job.
6:37
Speaker 2: Elsewhere fourteen after five Brian bridge. A storm could be brewing,
6:42
Speaker 2: as the government has agreed in principle to merge Kneewhere
6:45
Speaker 2: and met Service to bring us a stronger weather forecasting system.
6:49
Speaker 2: Merging the two it's been a big topic of conversation
6:52
Speaker 2: after it was found that Met Service modeling failed to
6:55
Speaker 2: predict the scale and the intensity of the Auckland Anniversary
6:58
Speaker 2: weekend floods. The plan would see ne Ware acquire met Service,
7:02
Speaker 2: with met Service keeping its role as out authorized meteorologist.
7:06
Speaker 2: Philip Duncan is a weather watch head analyst and with
7:09
Speaker 2: a communicator. He's with us this morning. Hey Philip, good morning,
7:13
Speaker 2: Good to heo with you. Good to have you on
7:14
Speaker 2: the show. Will these two be able to get along
7:17
Speaker 2: and play nice? Do you think?
7:20
Speaker 7: Well? I mean they're going to have to. That decision
7:23
Speaker 7: has already been made and it's going to be a
7:25
Speaker 7: bit of a toughs ride, I think to some of
7:27
Speaker 7: the Met Service team, because it's probably a little bit
7:30
Speaker 7: deflating to be merged into a brand new weather forecasting
7:35
Speaker 7: company that sort of started to aggressively attack you about
7:39
Speaker 7: ten years ago, which is what NIWA did and nie
7:41
Speaker 7: were invested a lot of money into going after Met Service.
7:45
Speaker 7: And they had no approval from cabinet to do this.
7:48
Speaker 7: It was done sort of secretly and with no transparency.
7:52
Speaker 7: So it's a bit of a weird journey to get
7:54
Speaker 7: to this point, but the government has definitely done the
7:57
Speaker 7: right thing because for a government to have two opposing
8:01
Speaker 7: agencies doing weather forecasts and saying different things is a
8:05
Speaker 7: recipe for a disaster.
8:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and we had one, didn't we what's it?
8:10
Speaker 4: Yeah?
8:10
Speaker 2: Is it fair to say that met Service missed that
8:12
Speaker 2: Auckland Anniversary flood? I mean, wasn't that such a freak
8:15
Speaker 2: event that no one really knew it was coming? Did you?
8:18
Speaker 7: Absolutely? Yeah, the Auckland flood event was a basically a downpour,
8:22
Speaker 7: just an isolated downpour, but it was over the top
8:25
Speaker 7: of our largest city. But you ask farmers around New Zealand,
8:28
Speaker 7: have you ever had a downpour that's you know, done
8:31
Speaker 7: monumentally a big flooding, And a lot of them will
8:33
Speaker 7: say yes at some point, not to say that that
8:35
Speaker 7: was equal to everyone else, but you know, it was
8:38
Speaker 7: a singular downpour. There was no computer modeling on the
8:41
Speaker 7: planet that picked what actually happened, and so it was
8:44
Speaker 7: it was a tough ride, but it is a good
8:46
Speaker 7: example of what is happening here. You got me were
8:49
Speaker 7: with this supercomputer that is paid for by the people,
8:53
Speaker 7: and then you've got met service. The weather forecast is
8:56
Speaker 7: funded by the people to do warnings, but they don't
8:59
Speaker 7: share the equipment. And so you're one side saying I
9:02
Speaker 7: can see something happening, and then when you say, well,
9:05
Speaker 7: will you be sharing that with that service and me,
9:07
Speaker 7: we goes no. For commercial reasons, we're not going to.
9:09
Speaker 2: And that's the problem that's done. Where do you get
9:13
Speaker 2: you because you're a private business, right Philip, where do
9:15
Speaker 2: you get your data from? Is it from? Do you
9:17
Speaker 2: buy it from Kneewa or someone?
9:19
Speaker 7: We couldn't afford it in that that's the reason why
9:21
Speaker 7: this is a bit of a concern. We went to
9:23
Speaker 7: the Commerce Commission about Meware because their pricing was astronomical.
9:27
Speaker 7: We're talking about millions of dollars to access something that's
9:30
Speaker 7: free in every other modern country, and so it it's
9:34
Speaker 7: designed to keep NIEWA in power. The one positive about this, well,
9:38
Speaker 7: so to answer your question, we were forced to basically
9:41
Speaker 7: buy data from America. Now that there are two different
9:44
Speaker 7: things with weather forecasting. One is the actual forecasting data
9:49
Speaker 7: so the data we buy from the weather Company, which
9:52
Speaker 7: used to be IBM, it's the most accurate in the world.
9:55
Speaker 7: So you know, the fact that we were forced to
9:57
Speaker 7: go down that road, that that route and end with
10:00
Speaker 7: that data's turned out to be the best thing for us.
10:03
Speaker 7: But the downside is we don't have access to historical
10:06
Speaker 7: data and that means no one in New Zealand really
10:09
Speaker 7: learns as a forecast. We don't learn from our mistakes
10:12
Speaker 7: automatically because that data is missing. Yeah, so in Australia,
10:16
Speaker 7: get something wrong, the computers will go all right, that's
10:19
Speaker 7: what happened, this is what we forecast. Let's learn from
10:21
Speaker 7: that mistake. But in New Zealand, me will holds on
10:24
Speaker 7: to that information and says you can't have it, so
10:26
Speaker 7: met Service doesn't learn from it. And then met Service
10:28
Speaker 7: doesn't share the radar, so newa doesn't learn from that.
10:31
Speaker 7: And so as a private company, we've just decided to
10:34
Speaker 7: just say basically we're not going to get involved in
10:36
Speaker 7: that historical stuff. We'll just focus on forecasting only.
10:40
Speaker 2: Well, that can't be a good thing for the rest
10:41
Speaker 2: of us. Philip, thank you very much for that. That's
10:43
Speaker 2: Philip Duncan, who's a weather watchhead analyst and weather communicator
10:47
Speaker 2: talking about this merger that is going to happen between
10:50
Speaker 2: met Service and NEWA sounds like it about time it
10:53
Speaker 2: did happen too. Lots of feedback on the teacher issue
10:55
Speaker 2: run I'm a teacher and teacher only days are needed
10:58
Speaker 2: for professional development. It is often very much required. The
11:03
Speaker 2: PD opportunities often fall outside of school holidays, says aident.
11:08
Speaker 2: Nine two nine two the number text with your messages
11:11
Speaker 2: on that will have a principle. Just before six nineteen
11:14
Speaker 2: up to.
11:14
Speaker 1: Five the first word on the News of the Day
11:18
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
11:21
Speaker 1: furniture beds and a player store news Talk.
11:24
Speaker 2: Said the I'm not saying I told you so because
11:26
Speaker 2: it's annoying when people do that. But you know how
11:28
Speaker 2: I said that Karmala Harris would be better for New Zealand.
11:31
Speaker 2: New Zealand would be better off I Karmala Harris won
11:33
Speaker 2: the US election? Are instead of Donald Trump? The Australians
11:37
Speaker 2: have actually done a look at the potential economic implications.
11:40
Speaker 2: They've taken a look under the hood. This is by
11:42
Speaker 2: Australian economists and former Reserve Bank Board member Warwick mckibbon.
11:47
Speaker 2: He says, because China will be hit by tariff's, Trump
11:50
Speaker 2: wants to meddle in the federal reserve rates decisions. He
11:54
Speaker 2: said that would screw Australia and by extension US big time.
11:58
Speaker 2: He reckons that by twenty two twenty six, it'd take
12:01
Speaker 2: one percent off China's GDP and would take zero point
12:04
Speaker 2: two percent off the Australians. And you can imagine it
12:07
Speaker 2: would do something similar to us. So as much as
12:10
Speaker 2: you might hate or dislike or find annoying, Karmala Harris,
12:14
Speaker 2: she's probably the better option for us. Down here, twenty
12:17
Speaker 2: two after five. Bryan Bridge, Big game this weekend in Wellington,
12:21
Speaker 2: all Blacks Wallabies and there's been some bad weather. We're
12:24
Speaker 2: joined by news talks. There'd be rugby commentator, the voice
12:27
Speaker 2: of rugby, Elliot Smith. Elliott, good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Hey,
12:31
Speaker 2: did flight's all right for you? I'm assuming you're in
12:33
Speaker 2: Wellington this morning.
12:35
Speaker 6: I am indeed no. We arrived in earlier on the
12:37
Speaker 6: week and so it's actually been quite good up until
12:39
Speaker 6: yesterday when it packed in big time and has been
12:42
Speaker 6: raining and windy and everything else that you associate with
12:45
Speaker 6: bad days in the Capitol. But the good news is
12:47
Speaker 6: that sexually supposed to be all right for the game
12:50
Speaker 6: itself tomorrow. We just have to get through a couple
12:52
Speaker 6: of days of bad weather in the build up to
12:55
Speaker 6: kick off tomorrow night at seven o'clock.
12:56
Speaker 2: So you've been the first time you've been there in
12:58
Speaker 2: a little while. Does it look to you like everyone
13:01
Speaker 2: says Elliott, the city It does.
13:04
Speaker 6: Look it looks a lot quieter than it has in
13:06
Speaker 6: the past. And look at it is actually quite noticeable
13:08
Speaker 6: when you come in you go, oh, this isn't the
13:10
Speaker 6: sort of bustling sort of place that it was maybe
13:13
Speaker 6: even two or three years ago. And you know, this
13:17
Speaker 6: sort of funky little capital that maybe it used to be.
13:21
Speaker 6: It is quite empty in the city and not quite
13:25
Speaker 6: the happening place it used to be. So you know,
13:28
Speaker 6: maybe they'll get forty thousand and all thereabout them to
13:31
Speaker 6: the rugby tomorrow night and the w'll revitalize things and
13:34
Speaker 6: everyone will be happy.
13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah'd be good to see a crowd, mind it. Hey
13:36
Speaker 2: there's two there's a Whodo and a Jinx. There's the
13:39
Speaker 2: twenty minute jinks, the last final twenty minutes of the game.
13:42
Speaker 2: We don't seem to be able to score any points.
13:43
Speaker 2: And then there's the Wellington who do we haven't won
13:46
Speaker 2: any of the last six tests in Wellington.
13:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a couple of things to sort out tomorrow
13:51
Speaker 6: night from an All Blacks perspectives and there from a
13:54
Speaker 6: recent record, first and foremost has to be getting that
13:58
Speaker 6: twenty minute jinks it out, because this is becoming troublesome
14:02
Speaker 6: for the All Blacks. It's becoming a real issue for
14:05
Speaker 6: them in games. They can see yellow cards and penalties
14:09
Speaker 6: and are drifting out of the games. Last week they
14:11
Speaker 6: was still good enough to get the win against Australia,
14:14
Speaker 6: but they need to get that sorted out first and
14:16
Speaker 6: foremost and find some points in the last twenty and
14:19
Speaker 6: there you would think if they get some points in
14:21
Speaker 6: the last twenty that will mean that they get a
14:23
Speaker 6: result and therefore lift that capital curse. Quite remarkable. They
14:27
Speaker 6: haven't won here since twenty eighteen, a real run of
14:31
Speaker 6: four results in that time, so they need to get
14:34
Speaker 6: that sorted. Discipline is the key. They get that right.
14:36
Speaker 6: They can get some points on the board and they'll
14:38
Speaker 6: get things sorted. But for the fact that's having five
14:41
Speaker 6: games in a row now across the Rugby Championship. There's
14:44
Speaker 6: nothing sort of remarkable. It's beginning to be talked about,
14:47
Speaker 6: beginning to be a rare issue for this all black steam.
14:49
Speaker 2: It sounds like it. Elliott, thank you for that. We
14:51
Speaker 2: look forward to your commentary on Saturday night. Elliot Smith,
14:53
Speaker 2: News Talks, They'd be Rugby Commentator, the Voice of Rugby.

Speaker 2: Talksb twenty seven after five You're on News Talks. There'b
15:06
Speaker 2: somebody's just text and Mark says, Ryan, bring back Fozzy. Hey,
15:11
Speaker 2: Thank goodness. I'm so relieved, not only because it's Friday,
15:14
Speaker 2: but I'm also relieved because the UN General Assembly is
15:17
Speaker 2: underway in New York. Nothing solves global conflict like a
15:21
Speaker 2: good anger session. I've been to one of these before.
15:24
Speaker 2: There's a lot of sitting around and talking and listening,
15:27
Speaker 2: which is Winston Peter's pointed out yesterday is actually quite important.
15:31
Speaker 2: Netanyahu is en route, Zelenski is there, mart mudebas the
15:34
Speaker 2: Palestinian president, he's going put in. The Pariah obviously won't
15:37
Speaker 2: be there. But does anybody hold out any hope that
15:41
Speaker 2: the UN will fix the big issues will magically solve
15:45
Speaker 2: all the walls and conflicts in the world. As we
15:47
Speaker 2: reported on yesterday's show, China's launching missiles into the South Pacific.
15:52
Speaker 2: A Japanese warship has just sailed through the Taiwan straight
15:55
Speaker 2: for the first time ever. That's new this morning. Israel's
15:58
Speaker 2: hammering Lebanon, not to mention Gaza, Putin's lowering the threshold
16:02
Speaker 2: for nuclear weapons. Trump says Ukraine is dead, and delegates
16:06
Speaker 2: are talking over the top of Winston Peters at the
16:08
Speaker 2: Security Council.
16:10
Speaker 8: Principle, when somebody's addressing you, the rest of the people
16:13
Speaker 8: in the room keep quiet.
16:17
Speaker 2: Some would say these challenges are ones that the world
16:21
Speaker 2: that we can all face together, united as one, united nations.
16:24
Speaker 2: But most of the time, if we're being real about it,
16:27
Speaker 2: it's about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.
16:30
Speaker 2: And most countries and their leaders know this, but off
16:33
Speaker 2: they go off to the Big Apple to do their dance,
16:36
Speaker 2: to thump their fists, have their say. Well, the rest
16:40
Speaker 2: of the world largely ignores and carries on business as usual.
16:46
Speaker 2: Bread Rich twenty eight. After five, We're going to talk
16:50
Speaker 2: teachers and a second loads of feedback on that today
16:53
Speaker 2: is not the day to have a heart attack. Please
16:54
Speaker 2: Monday as well. The reason I say this the first
16:57
Speaker 2: union is striking. This is Ambular's personnel and Ambulance comm
17:02
Speaker 2: Center staff six hours from the start of their shifts,
17:05
Speaker 2: both today and Monday. This is they say, despite life
17:09
Speaker 2: preserving services still being offered, fewer people means more danger,
17:14
Speaker 2: doesn't it. So just don't get stressed today, Avoid your
17:18
Speaker 2: wife or your husband, avoid your kids, don't get in
17:22
Speaker 2: traffic supermarket. Just sit in a dark room until Tuesday,
17:25
Speaker 2: and then have your heart attack right twenty one after.
17:28
Speaker 1: Five get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for
17:49
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
17:53
Speaker 1: Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store. News Talk zid be.

Speaker 2: six News Talk ZB We're going to get to the
18:07
Speaker 2: teachers just before six o'clock the Truancy Plan, also the
18:11
Speaker 2: teacher only Days. If you're a parent, you'll want to
18:13
Speaker 2: listen into that. Also, Vincent mcavney out of the UK
18:16
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has been uninvited to an investment summer and
18:20
Speaker 2: he's angry and we know what happens when he's angry.
18:24
Speaker 2: I don't really know. He just goes on Twitter and rants.
18:27
Speaker 2: Lots of your texts coming in on the briefly on
18:29
Speaker 2: the teachers, Hi, Ryan, our teacher only days normally involve
18:32
Speaker 2: a quick meeting, then we go to the pub. Teachers
18:35
Speaker 2: need time off too, says guy. Guy. Are you really
18:37
Speaker 2: a teacher just trying to rack us up? This is
18:41
Speaker 2: from David. David says the devil's in the detail with this.
18:44
Speaker 2: Even if the teacher only days are taken in holidays,
18:47
Speaker 2: the days are still credited back to teachers, meaning that
18:51
Speaker 2: parents get their kids home earlier at the end of
18:54
Speaker 2: the year. My wife is working until eight pm every
18:57
Speaker 2: night as a head of department for maths. Of the
19:00
Speaker 2: texts on this programmer out of Touch with Teaching Jobs.
19:04
Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the number to text. We'd
19:07
Speaker 2: love to hear from teachers, We'd love to hear from parents.
19:09
Speaker 2: All of you are welcome. Twenty three minutes away.
19:11
Speaker 1: From Sex, Ryan Bridge.
19:13
Speaker 2: We're going to our reporters around the country right now.
19:15
Speaker 2: Callum Proctors in Duned and Cullum. Build it once and
19:19
Speaker 2: build it right. The message from the mayor on the hospital.
19:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's pretty much the message from everyone
19:25
Speaker 9: in the South. Really, the government's being accused of breaking
19:28
Speaker 9: its promise following a downgrade of the new hospital project
19:31
Speaker 9: here to keep it within a one point eighty eight
19:34
Speaker 9: billion dollar budget. The news has been met with widespread
19:38
Speaker 9: condemnation and it should only fuel protest action plan for
19:41
Speaker 9: the city tomorrow. The mare Juell's radic says it's completely
19:44
Speaker 9: unacceptable and a disservice to the people of Otago and Southland.
19:49
Speaker 9: He says the cost of not building the hospital properly
19:52
Speaker 9: is far greater, and he believes the crowd for tomorrow's
19:55
Speaker 9: protest actions now doubled in size.
19:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually right behind them on this one. I
19:59
Speaker 2: think it just has to be now weather for today.
20:02
Speaker 9: A few shellers clearing to find by this evening Southwesterly
20:06
Speaker 9: and eleven today.
20:07
Speaker 2: Thank you Closhe Edwards in christ to clear this Environment
20:10
Speaker 2: Canterbury chair with the heavy lead foot.
20:14
Speaker 10: Heavy lead foot, all right, Ryan Peter Scott resigned as
20:17
Speaker 10: Chair of Environment Canterbury yesterday. He had already apologized and
20:21
Speaker 10: surrendered his council vehicle because of revelations of this repeated speeding.
20:26
Speaker 10: Now I've seen the full data set of the speeding
20:29
Speaker 10: recorded in Scott's council issued Toyota Highlander. Of six hundred
20:34
Speaker 10: and seventy nine incidents since the beginning of this year,
20:36
Speaker 10: almost half were considered excessive, So that's at least fifteen
20:40
Speaker 10: kilometers above the limit. Twenty one of them reached the
20:43
Speaker 10: bar required for driver license suspension, and on a single day.
20:47
Speaker 10: Not sure what was happening on the tenth of May,
20:49
Speaker 10: but Scott was over the limit forty six times, including
20:52
Speaker 10: eighteen times before five in the morning. He released a
20:55
Speaker 10: staateman yesterday apologizing, saying that he acknowledges he has made
20:59
Speaker 10: some mistake.
21:01
Speaker 2: Didn't he go one hundred and fifty k's or more
21:03
Speaker 2: than one hundred and fifty k's Some.
21:05
Speaker 10: Of the speeds there were out of control?
21:08
Speaker 2: Ryan, all right, so he's gone house you weather clear.
21:12
Speaker 10: Showers before dawn today could be snow above six hundred
21:15
Speaker 10: meters mainly find otherwise Southwesterly's dying out and thirteen degrees.
21:19
Speaker 2: Have a great one. Thank you, Maxis and Wellington max
21:21
Speaker 2: Police investigating the death of this eight month old.
21:25
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot we don't know about this yet. An
21:28
Speaker 8: eight month old baby who died suddenly at an apartment
21:31
Speaker 8: block in Newtown's Mansfield Street on Tuesday. A scene examination
21:35
Speaker 8: has taken place with detectives a post mortem. The family
21:38
Speaker 8: are apparently cooperating. No wider concerns for safety. It's believe
21:43
Speaker 8: the apartment block is owned by the council. Neighbors have
21:46
Speaker 8: been spoken to by officers. Residents reported seeing a distressed
21:50
Speaker 8: mother earlier this week with a baby in her arms,
21:53
Speaker 8: a boy or unger Tamadiki referring all questions to police.
21:57
Speaker 2: All right in your weather today, Max, some.
22:00
Speaker 8: Early showers, but to find spells increasing fifteen the high
22:03
Speaker 8: in the city.
22:04
Speaker 2: Thank you. You're going to the rugby tomorrow.
22:06
Speaker 8: No, I've been to three All Blacks games in Wellington
22:09
Speaker 8: and they haven't won any of them, so it's probably
22:10
Speaker 8: a good thing I'm staying away.
22:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's six legends. They haven't won in six games
22:14
Speaker 2: there in Wellington, so you are jinks. Max. This will
22:18
Speaker 2: be the turning point you'll see. Thank you for that.
22:20
Speaker 2: Let's get Toniva in Auckland, Hey, Neva, good morning, school holidays, yes,
22:24
Speaker 2: travel chaos.
22:25
Speaker 11: Oh and you know what here in Auckland, you know,
22:28
Speaker 11: you know it's going to happen. So that's right at
22:30
Speaker 11: the start of the school holidays, likely to bring with
22:33
Speaker 11: it the busy airports around the country, particularly here in Auckland.
22:37
Speaker 11: In New Zealand reckons that half a million travelers will
22:40
Speaker 11: be there on their domestic network over the next couple
22:42
Speaker 11: of weeks. Today the first day always the busiest day,
22:46
Speaker 11: so they're expecting about thirty four thousand people traveling around
22:49
Speaker 11: the country Auckland, particularly here. You know, leave a little
22:53
Speaker 11: bit earlier. You know, there's going to be congestion and
22:55
Speaker 11: why always but that mall as well as their triple
23:01
Speaker 11: wherem me and but you know, like they reckon to
23:05
Speaker 11: the weather, it's going to be well, there will be
23:07
Speaker 11: rain this morning here in Auckland, but it'll be clearing,
23:09
Speaker 11: you know, like later in the day. But particularly with
23:12
Speaker 11: that more and all of that. I mean, you know,
23:13
Speaker 11: like give yourself go at least an hour early.
23:16
Speaker 2: I would, yeah, just stay home. It's interesting because the
23:18
Speaker 2: ambulance drivers are doing a strike today. They say that
23:22
Speaker 2: there'll still be life preserving But if you've got traffic
23:25
Speaker 2: on the roads, you've got the more you've got the
23:27
Speaker 2: weather you've got. The school holidays and then you've got
23:30
Speaker 2: fewer ambulance drivers and fewer paramedics. You really don't want
23:34
Speaker 2: to get hurt today, do you? You don't, so just
23:36
Speaker 2: stay home.
23:37
Speaker 11: Gosh, and I was going to stay happy Friday, but
23:39
Speaker 11: it doesn't sound like a happy Friday.
23:40
Speaker 2: Doesn't get happy about it. Stay home, save lives. What
23:48
Speaker 2: am I doing? I got a couple of things on.
23:50
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to a friends and watch the
23:52
Speaker 2: rugby actually, which oh nice.
23:54
Speaker 12: Yes.
23:55
Speaker 2: Now weather for today.
23:56
Speaker 11: Rain possibly you're heavy, but clear to partly cloud in
24:00
Speaker 11: the afternoon. There's a bit of positivity there for Auckland
24:03
Speaker 11: seventeen so.
24:03
Speaker 2: High, brilliant. Thank you, Neva, have a great weekend. It
24:06
Speaker 2: is eighteen minutes away from six. It is quarter to six.
24:09
Speaker 2: Year O on News Talk said, b I'm Ryan Bridge.
24:11
Speaker 2: Yesterday we told you about China firing that ballistic missile
24:15
Speaker 2: into the South Pacific for the first time. Today we're
24:18
Speaker 2: learning that the Japanese have sent a warship sailed through
24:22
Speaker 2: the Taiwan straight, first time they've ever done that, so
24:25
Speaker 2: Beijing is obviously upset. Interestingly, it was accompanied by a
24:29
Speaker 2: New Zealand and Australian naval vessel, so two naval vessels,
24:33
Speaker 2: one from US one from across the Tasman. Judith Collins
24:36
Speaker 2: issued a statement to reut has about this. Now she's
24:40
Speaker 2: confirmed that one of our ships went with the Japanese,
24:43
Speaker 2: which hasn't happened. We haven't done that since twenty seventeen. However,
24:47
Speaker 2: in this statement she didn't mention the Japanese ship. She
24:51
Speaker 2: just said a New Zealand and an Australian ship went
24:54
Speaker 2: through the Taiwan straight. Didn't mention the fact quite a
24:56
Speaker 2: crucial fact. You would have thought that we were joined
24:59
Speaker 2: by the Japanese.
25:00
Speaker 1: Fourteen to six international correspondents with ins inn Eye Insurance
25:05
Speaker 1: Peace of Mind for New Zealand.
25:06
Speaker 2: Business Limited MCAVINI are UK and europe correspondents with US
25:10
Speaker 2: UK police looking at former Herod's employees over the Alpha
25:16
Speaker 2: Yid criminal charges. What's going on here?
25:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right.
25:20
Speaker 12: This story broken by the BBC in recent days has
25:23
Speaker 12: seen now dozens of women coming forward who are former
25:27
Speaker 12: employees of Harrod's and we think some as well connected
25:29
Speaker 12: to Fulham Football Club who are making severe allegations against
25:33
Speaker 12: the late Mohammad al Fayed of sexual assault and now
25:36
Speaker 12: of rape as well. And what we understand was that
25:39
Speaker 12: there was an apparatus around him that specific types of
25:43
Speaker 12: girls were being recruited. It's believed into the stores they
25:46
Speaker 12: were being identified to him. His security was picking these
25:49
Speaker 12: young women up, that they were going through some kind
25:51
Speaker 12: of medical screening by a doctor on Harley Street for
25:56
Speaker 12: STIs and whether or not they were virgins or not,
25:59
Speaker 12: and then he assaulting and abusing them. Now it's understood
26:03
Speaker 12: that some of these individuals have been approached by the media.
26:07
Speaker 12: They are denying any knowledge of what was going on,
26:09
Speaker 12: but from the accounts of some of the women, that
26:12
Speaker 12: does not seem to be accurate. So the Metropolitan Police
26:15
Speaker 12: we understand and now looking into whether anyone's still alive
26:18
Speaker 12: who worked for mister fay Ed or indeed four Herods
26:22
Speaker 12: or the doctor involved could now be prosecuted in conjunction
26:25
Speaker 12: with this.
26:26
Speaker 2: Right, the Elon Musk, the boss of everything. He's upset
26:29
Speaker 2: at the UK government. Yeah, that's right.
26:33
Speaker 12: The UK Investment Meeting, which is taking place in a
26:36
Speaker 12: few weeks time, is bringing in some of the biggest
26:38
Speaker 12: names in business and tech, but Elon Musk has not
26:41
Speaker 12: been invited, and that is over comments that he made
26:44
Speaker 12: on social media in the summer during our riots, where
26:47
Speaker 12: he was spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories on Twitter. Now,
26:51
Speaker 12: of course x he said that U was heading towards
26:53
Speaker 12: civil war and he really sort of criticized new Prime
26:56
Speaker 12: Minister kirst Armas. So the government has taken the decision
26:58
Speaker 12: because of what he was doing doing not to invite
27:01
Speaker 12: him and Parma, and Musk has in response told his
27:05
Speaker 12: followers not to go to Britain because quote, Britain is
27:08
Speaker 12: sort of releasing pedophiles and jailing those who post on
27:11
Speaker 12: social media. Now, what he's talking about is the fact
27:13
Speaker 12: that people that were posting on social media in the
27:15
Speaker 12: summer inciting violence and hatred. A lot of those have
27:18
Speaker 12: been arrested and they have been given sentences, and in
27:22
Speaker 12: order to free up room in our prisons, we had
27:24
Speaker 12: a release system people who have served a portion of
27:27
Speaker 12: their sentence getting out. But they are not anyone who's
27:30
Speaker 12: committed any sexual assaults or pedophile.
27:32
Speaker 2: So he's got that slightly wrong.
27:33
Speaker 12: But he is sort of kicking off once again at
27:35
Speaker 12: the government, the opposition who were in power not that
27:38
Speaker 12: long ago, saying that they had been told by Musk
27:40
Speaker 12: that he wanted to set up a battery plant for
27:42
Speaker 12: Tesla cars in the UK, and this could now jeopardize this.
27:45
Speaker 12: But in the past he's in fact criticized Brexit as
27:48
Speaker 12: being a reason for him not building factories in the UK,
27:52
Speaker 12: So we'll see where that one goes.
27:54
Speaker 2: Goodness all right, Vintent, thank you for that. Vincent Mick
27:57
Speaker 2: of any UK and Europe correspondent. It is a live
27:59
Speaker 2: in to six Bryan Bridge. The school strip for climate
28:02
Speaker 2: has happening today, the last day of term. David Seen
28:06
Speaker 2: was on a warpath about it. He says kids should
28:08
Speaker 2: be in school learning, protest in the holidays. I next Monday,
28:12
Speaker 2: he reckons, same goes for teacher only days during term
28:16
Speaker 2: breaks only please this is part of a plan to
28:18
Speaker 2: turn around the awful attendance record. Linda Stewart is the
28:22
Speaker 2: May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland. She's with us
28:24
Speaker 2: this morning. Linda, good morning Mariner Ryan. What's wrong with
28:28
Speaker 2: a teacher only day being just in the breaks?
28:32
Speaker 13: Well, I think there's an interesting sort of and complex
28:36
Speaker 13: situation here because I know in our school that our
28:39
Speaker 13: teachers are basically limping towards the end of the term.
28:43
Speaker 13: It's been a really hard term. We've had a lot
28:45
Speaker 13: of teacher illness. But apart from that, it's our teachers
28:50
Speaker 13: are working really really hard in a situation where overall
28:53
Speaker 13: there underresourced for the sorts of needs that we have
28:58
Speaker 13: in our schools, and so it's been a really really
29:02
Speaker 13: hard term. So I would expect that they need some
29:05
Speaker 13: time to recuperate, then they are back in their classrooms
29:10
Speaker 13: preparing for next term. So our teachers don't have long
29:14
Speaker 13: holidays as some people would think.
29:17
Speaker 2: I have how long. I'm just so weird to how long,
29:20
Speaker 2: because it's twelve to thirteen weeks off. How many of
29:23
Speaker 2: those would be full days of work.
29:27
Speaker 13: I would think that most of our teachers are back
29:31
Speaker 13: in school and working hard for probably if you think
29:37
Speaker 13: about the annual leave that people take during a year,
29:40
Speaker 13: I would think that our teachers are either on professional
29:43
Speaker 13: development or in their classrooms preparing teachers. Actually it's not
29:48
Speaker 13: a job, Brian, it's a service that we do.
29:52
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering how much not actually well understood. But
29:55
Speaker 2: we'll tell us twelve to thirteen weeks off, how many
29:58
Speaker 2: weeks doing full time work.
30:01
Speaker 13: I think it would look very different in different places,
30:04
Speaker 13: and I think it's question for.
30:06
Speaker 2: Me fair enough and it's different for everybody, Linda, But
30:10
Speaker 2: can you not see the point that there is room
30:13
Speaker 2: for teacher only days to take place in the breaks
30:15
Speaker 2: without disrupting parents. Surely you want your students to have
30:19
Speaker 2: as little disruption as possible.
30:22
Speaker 13: One of the things that happens, Ryan, is that that
30:25
Speaker 13: already happens. There are already staff only days in the
30:28
Speaker 13: gym breaks. But the teacher only days are often teacher
30:33
Speaker 13: only days that are given to us by the Ministry
30:36
Speaker 13: of Education, and then we make up. We have to
30:39
Speaker 13: do a certain amount of days per year, and we
30:43
Speaker 13: make up any days that we take that are over
30:47
Speaker 13: and above that we make up. So I think there's
30:49
Speaker 13: a real recivating standard.
30:51
Speaker 2: How how long can we just be honest? Do teachers
30:56
Speaker 2: get more annually or more time off them than we get?
31:00
Speaker 2: You know, we get four weeks or at most or
31:02
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, whatever it is. Teachers get more
31:05
Speaker 2: than that, don't they.
31:07
Speaker 13: It's very interesting, Ryan, because if that was the true
31:10
Speaker 13: case of teaching and learning in this country, you would
31:13
Speaker 13: have cues of people who are lining up to be teachers.
31:17
Speaker 13: At the moment, we can't get teachers in our classrooms.
31:21
Speaker 13: We can't get relievers in our classroom. So if that
31:25
Speaker 13: was the reality of a teacher's life, we would see
31:28
Speaker 13: a very different scenario. And I think that's the issue
31:31
Speaker 13: that we've got at the moment. There's a real lack
31:34
Speaker 13: of understanding from some of our politicians and certainly from
31:41
Speaker 13: some of our journalists around the reality for a teacher.
31:45
Speaker 13: I ask you to come into our school and see
31:49
Speaker 13: what our teachers do and then say that our teachers
31:53
Speaker 13: don't deserve Monday and Tuesday of this week next week
31:59
Speaker 13: to actually cooper some of the work that they've been doing.
32:02
Speaker 2: Linda, thank you very much for your time this morning.
32:04
Speaker 2: Linda Stuart the May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland.

32:25
Speaker 2: you're better off. There's a guy by the name of
32:27
Speaker 2: Nome Shaziah. He left Google. He said, no, I'm going
32:31
Speaker 2: to start up my own company. He's an AI guy
32:34
Speaker 2: wanted to release his own chatbot anyway, his company failed.
32:37

32:40
