Speaker 2: We're on the medal table.
0:23

0:31

Speaker 3: Its bloated, according to Christopher Luxen as a.
0:37
Speaker 2: Celiac on sour dough.

Speaker 3: Sea and the shipping costs there we learned yesterday have
0:54
Speaker 3: doubled since April. And the French kiss that's causing a
0:58
Speaker 3: stir at the Olympics. Not a French kiss in the
1:02
Speaker 3: way that you would be thinking about it. It's two
1:04
Speaker 3: French people kissing, but the politicians causing a bit of
1:08
Speaker 3: a stir. I'll tell you why politicians shouldn't kiss, should they?
1:12
Speaker 2: They're all ugly. No one likes to see ugly people kiss.
1:15
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'll tell you all about that story that's making
1:17
Speaker 3: headlines too. It is seven after five.
1:20
Speaker 4: The agenda.
1:23
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, the first of August. Another medal for

Speaker 3: New Zealand. Kiwi triathlete Hayden Wild has won silver after
1:29
Speaker 3: a tight race to the finish Alex.
1:31
Speaker 5: Ye over Jakes Hayden Wild and it's in the gold
1:35
Speaker 5: medal position. With the final push towards the finish line
1:40
Speaker 5: absolutely unbelievable.
1:43
Speaker 2: It was an unbelievable finish.
1:45
Speaker 3: Wild had been leading the race, but Great Britain's Alex
1:48
Speaker 3: Years you heard there, overtook him at the last minute,
1:50
Speaker 3: securing the gold. He just had nothing left in the tank,
1:54
Speaker 3: Hayden Wild. You could see he wanted to do it.
1:56
Speaker 3: He just didn't have the ability to do it and
1:59
Speaker 3: to have a last New Zealand has now placed twelfth
2:02
Speaker 3: on the metal table with one gold and one silver medal.
2:05
Speaker 3: That is five places behind Canada, who should be banned outright.

Speaker 3: Ukraine's air force say they shot down eighty nine drones
2:13
Speaker 3: launched towards Kiev by Russia, one of the largest attacks
2:17
Speaker 3: against Ukraine in months. It's believed that Ukraine has been
2:19
Speaker 3: using jamming technology to force the drones to fly higher,
2:24
Speaker 3: making them easier to intercept. Some buildings were damaged in
2:27
Speaker 3: the attack, but no injuries have been reported. Back here,
2:30
Speaker 3: Finance Minister Nicola Willis and Climate Change Minister Simon Wattson
2:33
Speaker 3: announced plans for greater climate cooperation with Australia, something the
2:38
Speaker 3: aviation industry says as much needed. It includes engaging in
2:42
Speaker 3: the development of green hydrogen, sustainable fuels and green metals.
2:47
Speaker 3: What is the difference between green hydrogen and just hydrogen.
2:50
Speaker 2: I don't know.
2:53
Speaker 6: We are a long haul markets everywhere as far away
2:56
Speaker 6: from us, so we really do depen on aviation for
2:58
Speaker 6: our existence of the modern economy.
3:01
Speaker 3: That was the aviation Sorry. New Zealand Airport's Association Chief

Speaker 4: Your Radio and online on iHeartRadio early Edition with Ryan
3:12
Speaker 4: Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
3:15
Speaker 4: Playing Store News Talk z.
3:17
Speaker 2: B nine minutes after five.
3:18
Speaker 3: I did find it curious this week that in New Zealand,
3:21
Speaker 3: just while we're talking about that. In New Zealand, ditched
3:23
Speaker 3: its twenty thirty targets for you know, climate change targets,
3:28
Speaker 3: says it will still be net zero by twenty fifty,
3:31
Speaker 3: so it's an interim target. But I mean, really, you're
3:34
Speaker 3: an airline, you use jet fuel, You're gonna you know,
3:37
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some impact on the environment. I don't
3:40
Speaker 3: expect you, of all people, to be clean and green
3:45
Speaker 3: and climate friendly, you.
3:47
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
3:48
Speaker 3: It's like saying I don't know like a It's like
3:51
Speaker 3: saying Pizza Hut is going to is going to wean
3:54
Speaker 3: itself off pepperoni. You know, it's it's part of your business.
3:59
Speaker 3: It's part of your business. Sure, do what you can.
4:01
Speaker 3: But I mean, don't cut your nose off a spite
4:04
Speaker 3: your face, I guess, is what I'm saying. Hamas you
4:07
Speaker 3: would have seen this in the news. This is the
4:08
Speaker 3: leader Ismail Hanair who has been killed. Assassinated they think,
4:13
Speaker 3: they assume by Israeli rocketfire in Tehran. He was a
4:17
Speaker 3: former Prime Minister of the Palestinian authority, this guy, and
4:20
Speaker 3: he was a key member of the group that's been
4:23
Speaker 3: trying to get a ceasefire. So you would have to say,
4:26
Speaker 3: when you've got one of the leaders who's trying to
4:28
Speaker 3: get a ceasefire being killed. He was a diplomat essentially
4:32
Speaker 3: of that political wing of Hamas, you would have to
4:35
Speaker 3: say that it's not looking good for a ceasefire. And
4:37
Speaker 3: then on the other side, so you've got Israel doing
4:41
Speaker 3: strikes into Tehran, You've got Israel obviously it's offensive in Gaza.
4:46
Speaker 3: And then on the other side, you've got them worrying
4:48
Speaker 3: about Hezbula and Lebanon and they're still you know, they've
4:51
Speaker 3: hit one guy in Beirut there, but they've got more
4:54
Speaker 3: to do. You know, at what point does Israel actually
4:57
Speaker 3: spread itself too thin and start to the resources from
5:01
Speaker 3: what it really wants to do in Gaza, and does
5:04
Speaker 3: that limit its response everywhere else. We're gonna ask an
5:07
Speaker 3: expert about that inside the next half hour.
5:10
Speaker 2: Also, A and Z.
5:11
Speaker 3: You might not have seen this, but from this morning
5:13
Speaker 3: they've cut some rates, so the second time in a
5:18
Speaker 3: month for them. So from today, the three year fixed
5:21
Speaker 3: rate is down thirty six basis points to five point
5:25
Speaker 3: nine to nine percent. The floating variable home loan rate
5:29
Speaker 3: is down fifteen basis points to eight point four nine percent.
5:33
Speaker 3: The business floating and business overdraft base rates are also
5:37
Speaker 3: dropping fifteen basis points. Don't forget the Reserve Bank. Here's
5:41
Speaker 3: next decision is due August fourteenth, and as I said
5:44
Speaker 3: to you yesterday, the US Federal Reserve. Their announcement is
5:47
Speaker 3: due any minute now this morning our time. They're expected
5:51
Speaker 3: to hold steady there, but will look at cuts from September.
5:55
Speaker 3: They reckon it has just gone twelve after five.
5:58
Speaker 4: Ryan Bridge for twenty twenty four on early edition with
6:03
Speaker 4: Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store
6:06
Speaker 4: news dog zid Bey.
6:07
Speaker 3: Fourteen minutes after five nine two ninety two is the
6:10
Speaker 3: number to checks I look for to hearing from you
6:12
Speaker 3: over the next hour. Hamas's leader Ismaeilhnair has been assassinated
6:17
Speaker 3: inside Tehran in Iran.
6:18
Speaker 2: It's the capitol.
6:19
Speaker 3: No one has claimed responsibility yet, but analysts on the
6:23
Speaker 3: Iranian state television have placed the blame squarely with Israel
6:27
Speaker 3: for the attack. Israel doesn't normally talk about any of
6:29
Speaker 3: its offensives overseas, so in what direction could this take
6:33
Speaker 3: the conflict from here? The Otago University Senior lecturer for
6:37
Speaker 3: Middle Eastern and comparative politics is doctor Leon Goldsmith, good morning,
6:45
Speaker 3: good on, good morning.
6:46
Speaker 2: Can you hear me? Okay, then yeah, I can hear you.
6:49
Speaker 2: Find excellent.
6:50
Speaker 3: First of all, what do you think this is going
6:52
Speaker 3: to do? Because this leader Ismael Hnair was obviously on
6:56
Speaker 3: the diplomatic offensive to try and get a cease fire.
6:58
Speaker 3: Does this mean a ceasefires who they're out of reach?
7:02
Speaker 7: Yeah? I think this probably takes the s FI ideal
7:04
Speaker 7: off the table for now, definitely removes that possibility. But
7:12
Speaker 7: I think what it was is that Israel is probably
7:15
Speaker 7: sending a very strong message that none are safe. I
7:17
Speaker 7: think we've had thebeal and number two in Hamas number
7:20
Speaker 7: one killed inside one day in the capital of Lebanon
7:24
Speaker 7: and Eran. It's fairly significant and it could course a
7:28
Speaker 7: major reverberations.
7:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not.
7:32
Speaker 3: In the case of Lebanon, they're not just heading you know,
7:35
Speaker 3: the southern border. They've actually they've actually struck them in
7:38
Speaker 3: be I mean they're heading to the capitals here, aren't they.
7:41
Speaker 7: Which is precisely what the US asked them not to do.
7:44
Speaker 3: So do you in some ways do we take heart
7:48
Speaker 3: from the fact that they are quite limited in scope?
7:54
Speaker 7: Well, I think what these are very strategic, targeted assassinations
7:59
Speaker 7: of people that Israelis believe responsible for October seven and
8:04
Speaker 7: another attacks against Israel. So this is their policy for
8:09
Speaker 7: some time of disproportionate retaliation against individuals. So Ismahani is
8:14
Speaker 7: the most senior person to be targeted and assassinate, assassinated
8:19
Speaker 7: since October seven and until that was until yesterday. Previously
8:24
Speaker 7: it would have been for a shaka who was killed
8:25
Speaker 7: in Beirut, So I think it's I think it may
8:32
Speaker 7: have just also been timing here because normally Ismahanir would
8:37
Speaker 7: have been in Doha, which would have been somewhere with
8:39
Speaker 7: Israel would never touch him. The fact that he happened
8:42
Speaker 7: to be in Tehran for the inauguration of Revenue president
8:46
Speaker 7: gave Israelis an opportunity to hit him.
8:50
Speaker 3: Right, your assessment basically sees fire off the table for
8:53
Speaker 3: now as a result of this. What about risk of
8:56
Speaker 3: a wider conflict?
8:57
Speaker 2: What is that?
8:58
Speaker 7: What?
8:58
Speaker 3: What what does it take before we take over into
9:00
Speaker 3: that territory.
9:03
Speaker 7: Well, I think there's going to be some very serious
9:05
Speaker 7: conversations happening in Tehran right now and beate routes. So
9:10
Speaker 7: I think, on one hand, there's a lot of analysts
9:14
Speaker 7: source suggesting that there is there's no way that Israel
9:17
Speaker 7: can not retaliate in some way, either via Hizballah through
9:23
Speaker 7: Southern eleven nine, also trying to ramp up attacks via
9:27
Speaker 7: Alahofi drones, rockets from Yemen. Also, as we're body seen
9:33
Speaker 7: previously in April, direct missile launches from Iran to Israel,
9:39
Speaker 7: which will have a high degree of risk of regional escalation.
9:44
Speaker 7: We also have US forces approaching the Lebanese coast warships again,
9:50
Speaker 7: so the pieces are looking quite concerning here. What we
9:55
Speaker 7: may have seen is what we probably saw the first
9:58
Speaker 7: phase of an April, is that the Israelis are trying
10:02
Speaker 7: to perhaps draw the US into a direct confrontation with
10:06
Speaker 7: there are which I think there's something very concerning and
10:11
Speaker 7: something that the Iranians will probably quite key not to
10:14
Speaker 7: be drawn into that trap.
10:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's certainly on the table, isn't it. Thank
10:19
Speaker 3: you very much for analysis, Doctor Leon Goldsmith, Otago University,
10:23
Speaker 3: Senior lecturer for Middle Eastern and Comparative Politics with US
10:26
Speaker 3: there saying that that cease fire pretty much off the
10:29
Speaker 3: table after this assassination. And don't forget that we have
10:32
Speaker 3: skin in the game here too. We've got to defense
10:34
Speaker 3: force members deployed to protect that maritime a route i
10:40
Speaker 3: should say, from the in the Red Sea from the
10:42
Speaker 3: Hooti rebels. Just gone nineteen after five, we're looking at
10:46
Speaker 3: building consents.
10:47
Speaker 4: Next the news you need this morning and the in
10:50
Speaker 4: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City,
10:54
Speaker 4: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. News talks'd be.
10:57
Speaker 3: Twenty one after five. The number of new build consents
11:01
Speaker 3: issued in the year to journe has dropped to a
11:03
Speaker 3: five year low. Stats and Z data shows just over
11:06
Speaker 3: fourteen thousand standalone houses we're consented, that's down nineteen percent,
11:11
Speaker 3: and there was an even larger drop in multi unit buildings,
11:14
Speaker 3: with just over eighteen thousand approved. That's down twenty eight percent.
11:19
Speaker 3: Joining me in our Construction Industry Council Chief Executive sorry
11:22
Speaker 3: executive director, Tommy Honey, Hey, Tommy.
11:25
Speaker 8: And Marina, how are you? Yeah?
11:26
Speaker 2: Good, thank you. Good to have you on the show.
11:29
Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out the apartments consents down
11:32
Speaker 3: fifty percent. Yep, yep, that's big.
11:35
Speaker 8: So oh it is. And so what we've seen is
11:39
Speaker 8: a continuation of sort of a downward trend that really
11:43
Speaker 8: started in the middle of what's about June twenty twenty two,
11:47
Speaker 8: so two years ago, and we have been like a
11:51
Speaker 8: lot of people waiting for that kind of to reverse
11:53
Speaker 8: or at least plant. Oh, but it seems like we're
11:55
Speaker 8: still heading downwards. The thing about apartments is that for
11:59
Speaker 8: the of the builders developed US investors and those is
12:03
Speaker 8: that they're quite a risk. And when you've got inflation
12:06
Speaker 8: running as high as it has been and that's starting
12:08
Speaker 8: to turn the corner, but the Reserve Bank is not.
12:12
Speaker 8: Actually they haven't turned the corner yet, and there's a
12:17
Speaker 8: bit of a lag there was all. There's always a
12:19
Speaker 8: lag when when the mortgage rates and interest rates so
12:25
Speaker 8: very slow to respond. So I still think we're three
12:28
Speaker 8: six nine months away from any really great health. Coming
12:31
Speaker 8: back to the back to the sector.
12:33
Speaker 3: Who is building? I mean, obviously some houses are getting built.
12:36
Speaker 3: Who is building them?
12:38
Speaker 8: Well, I think I think the people who've got the
12:42
Speaker 8: winders all to do that, because you've got to think
12:43
Speaker 8: also the whole real estate state market of flat So
12:46
Speaker 8: you're going to go building. Yeah, if you've got a
12:48
Speaker 8: house you live in and you want to build a
12:50
Speaker 8: new one, sell the first one. Yeah, not a guarantee
12:53
Speaker 8: that that's going to this is the right time to
12:54
Speaker 8: be doing that, unless you're just looking a little bit
12:57
Speaker 8: further into the future. One of the big sort of
13:00
Speaker 8: handbrakes on the whole system is that one of our
13:02
Speaker 8: biggest builders or the biggest clients really has recently in
13:07
Speaker 8: recent year has been the government through coying or order.
13:10
Speaker 8: And because they put a pause on that, everyone that
13:14
Speaker 8: works for them, which is builders, and because the government
13:16
Speaker 8: itself is a builder, they have developers who have trades,
13:20
Speaker 8: people in sub trades, and that whole part of the
13:23
Speaker 8: sector has taken a real hit because the number of
13:26
Speaker 8: houses that coying Aura has been consenting getting built in
13:30
Speaker 8: recent years has been around about ten to fifteen percent
13:32
Speaker 8: of all the houses. So the old that nineteen percent drop,
13:36
Speaker 8: a good portion of that is actually due to coying
13:39
Speaker 8: or and not building starting any new project. They're finishing
13:41
Speaker 8: off a few projects, but they put pause and a whole.
13:43
Speaker 2: Lot and that a perfect storm.
13:47
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's confidence right through all the way. And
13:50
Speaker 8: this whole a whole set depends on confidence and certainty,
13:55
Speaker 8: and there's so much uncertainty around with what the government's doing.
13:59
Speaker 8: We know they plans, we want to see them happen
14:01
Speaker 8: a lot quicker the economy, who are interest rates? And
14:05
Speaker 8: then everyone who wants to spend the money sitting back
14:07
Speaker 8: and saying, oh, we'll just wait. So where Yeah, perfect
14:10
Speaker 8: storms or the right way to describe it.
14:11
Speaker 3: Tommy, thanks so much of your time. That's Tommy Honey.
14:14
Speaker 3: He's the executive director at the Construction Industry Council. It
14:18
Speaker 3: is twenty four minutes away for sorry, twenty four minutes
14:21
Speaker 3: after five. He did say, if you didn't hear that
14:23
Speaker 3: at at the start of the interview, in the next
14:25
Speaker 3: six nine twelve months, so basically within the next year
14:28
Speaker 3: sometime he expects those numbers to start turning around twenty
14:32
Speaker 3: five after five. What happened yesterday in Poka Cooe I
14:36
Speaker 3: will tell you about in a second. It's quite it's
14:38
Speaker 3: not the biggest story of the day, but I think
14:41
Speaker 3: it underscores a few big problems that we've got at
14:44
Speaker 3: the moment.
14:46
Speaker 4: Separating the fact from the section Kid's Billy Edition with
14:50
Speaker 4: Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and Applied Store News
14:54
Speaker 4: Talk ZBI, this is.
14:55
Speaker 3: Not the most important story that you will hear today,
14:57
Speaker 3: but it grinds my gears.
15:00
Speaker 2: It's a small, seemingly.
15:02
Speaker 3: Insignificant event, but I think it speaks to two things
15:05
Speaker 3: that I absolutely hate about the world that we live
15:07
Speaker 3: in right now. It took place at Cinema three and
15:09
Speaker 3: pook A Color. You might have seen the video on
15:11
Speaker 3: the Herald website if you haven't gone to check it out.
15:14
Speaker 3: So it's two women and a child going to the movies.
15:17
Speaker 3: They sneak food into the movies, which I know is
15:19
Speaker 3: not the biggest thing happening in the world right now.
15:22
Speaker 3: We've all done it too, haven't we. Probably we've hidden
15:25
Speaker 3: that food. These guys, these entitled prats, yes, let's just
15:29
Speaker 3: call them what they are. They had food, they had drink,
15:33
Speaker 3: they had snacks, they had hot food. They snuck hot
15:37
Speaker 3: food into the cinema. I mean, that's brazen. And the cinema.
15:42
Speaker 3: The guy's working at the cinema goes over them and says, oh,
15:44
Speaker 3: you know, can you please You're not allowed to bring
15:46
Speaker 3: your own food in. These guys just are having none
15:50
Speaker 3: of it. First of all, that the guy that comes
15:52
Speaker 3: over has an Asian accent. They mock him for his race.
15:56
Speaker 3: They sit there and they start berating him.
15:59
Speaker 2: Oh you've made my daughter cry. You've made my daughter cry.
16:02
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be letting, you know, get out of my way.
16:04
Speaker 3: It's his cinema. The police came and had to escort
16:08
Speaker 3: them out for goodness sakes. They refused to move, They
16:12
Speaker 3: demanded refunds, They carried on eating.
16:14
Speaker 2: They said I wish.
16:15
Speaker 3: I had my vape here, I'd start vaping and things
16:17
Speaker 3: like that. The staff said they felt unsafe. They had
16:20
Speaker 3: to turn the movie off. So whoever was in the
16:22
Speaker 3: movie missed out.
16:25
Speaker 2: People.
16:25
Speaker 3: Cinema has rules. It's clearly signposted apparently five times throughout
16:30
Speaker 3: the cinema complex that you cannot bring your own food.
16:32
Speaker 3: And so my feelings one, if you can't go on
16:35
Speaker 3: our forty without eating, you probably should. Two, this is
16:39
Speaker 3: a wider issue. It's about people not respecting rules. It's
16:43
Speaker 3: not your property. Businesses need to make money otherwise they
16:47
Speaker 3: go out of business and people lose their jobs. And
16:49
Speaker 3: number three, and this is the most egregious breach for me.
16:54
Speaker 3: They posted it all to TikTok. Just the audacity to
16:57
Speaker 3: film all of that break the poor person working there
17:01
Speaker 3: and then put it all on TikTok. It's shameless, and
17:05
Speaker 3: that is what's wrong with us today. I think we
17:07
Speaker 3: have no shame anymore. You steal something, Oh it's a
17:10
Speaker 3: cost of living crisis. You know, you do something terrible.
17:14
Speaker 3: It's my mental health. Where is the shame from breaking rules?
17:20
Speaker 2: I don't see much of it.
17:22
Speaker 3: At Cinema three Hooker Koe, That's for sure twenty nine
17:25

18:55
Speaker 3: you ask where is the shame from people breaking the rules?
18:58
Speaker 3: I ask where's the penal tea for breaking the rules? Interestingly,
19:02
Speaker 3: Pete that when the police came, they did trespass them
19:04
Speaker 3: from there. Ryan, you didn't tell us yesterday who was

Speaker 9: found to be in breach of the Council's code for
20:05
Speaker 9: derogatory comments towards the female EMC at a United Fire
20:09
Speaker 9: Brigades Association event. It's one of two public apologies expected
20:13
Speaker 9: of the mayor. Councilors have also requested a sincere apology

21:44
Speaker 11: the inter island of Burger, which is being sold the
21:47

Speaker 11: town Hall long closed, the Council's Civic Square work also
22:21
Speaker 11: causing major disruptions for local businesses. Yeah, another piece of
22:26
Speaker 11: sad news for Wellington hospitality.
22:29
Speaker 3: It is I do like that restaurant. Well, I did
22:31
Speaker 3: like that restaurant, and I can now see in your
22:34
Speaker 3: defense why you are promoting Wellington on a plate so much.
22:37
Speaker 3: The weather today, Max.
22:39
Speaker 11: That's right, mostly cloudy with showers, strong sou Easterly's eight the.
22:43
Speaker 3: High thank you very much, NIVA's and Auckland good morning,
22:45
Speaker 3: good morning. So poka coey, these guys go into the cinema.
22:49
Speaker 3: I've actually got a found a bit of audio from
22:50
Speaker 3: the video that they posted on TikTok. So they take
22:53
Speaker 3: hot food in there. The attendant comes along, tells them
22:57
Speaker 3: to stop, and this is what happens. I've got all
23:00
Speaker 3: right to tell a five year old and make a
23:02
Speaker 3: five year old cry.
23:03
Speaker 9: You've got a right to make a five year old cry.
23:05
Speaker 3: You've got a right to make a five year old cry.
23:08
Speaker 2: Sorry for you've got to write to make a five.
23:10
Speaker 12: Year old cry wow.
23:12
Speaker 3: And this goes on and on and on, and they
23:16
Speaker 3: all the while they're still eating the food.
23:18
Speaker 12: This story makes my blood boil.
23:21
Speaker 4: You're right.
23:21
Speaker 12: And because they went in there, they took all this
23:23
Speaker 12: hot food. It was a whole picnic. It was drinks
23:26
Speaker 12: as well, and it just takes me back. I think
23:29
Speaker 12: everyone has a story like this. I mean, I know
23:31
Speaker 12: food is expensive there, or they're thinking about popcorn, but
23:34
Speaker 12: that's the way. That's how movies, you know, the theaters
23:37
Speaker 12: make the money.
23:38
Speaker 3: It's true that I.
23:39
Speaker 12: Remember this is many years ago, going to Titanic and
23:43
Speaker 12: I went to an afternoon metade and I was really
23:45
Speaker 12: I think, oh my gosh, I want to go and
23:46
Speaker 12: see Leonardo, So I've got to go in there, and
23:49
Speaker 12: blah blah blah. Went in there and I sat down
23:51
Speaker 12: and there was like four people next to me eating.
23:54
Speaker 12: They'd taken in a whole roast chicken. I'm not lying.
23:58
Speaker 12: They were sitting there devour this roast chicken and they
24:02
Speaker 12: had potato salad, and we could hear was in Gigler's slooping.
24:05
Speaker 12: And the USh had to come and say, hey, hey, hey, dudes,
24:08
Speaker 12: you can't eat this. And I was like, really, why
24:11
Speaker 12: the hell are they bringing? Go and have your lunch.
24:13
Speaker 12: Have you lunch before you go to the movie.
24:15
Speaker 2: It's an hour and forty minutes. You don't need to eat.
24:18
Speaker 12: But people are taking an amazing you know, like one
24:21
Speaker 12: person even took in a whole cake. Not that I
24:24
Speaker 12: was here for a whole cake.
24:25
Speaker 2: How do you even cut it up?
24:26
Speaker 5: Exactly?
24:28
Speaker 12: How to stop the madness?
24:29
Speaker 2: How's the weather today?
24:30
Speaker 12: In the cloudy showers are high of fourteen bit chili
24:33
Speaker 12: for Auckland.
24:33
Speaker 2: Brilliant, Thank you Navi.
24:34
Speaker 13: Day to go to the movies?
24:36
Speaker 2: I think sounds like it.
24:37
Speaker 3: Actually, just don't take off, don't take your own food.
24:39
Speaker 3: Just buy theirs, and it is expensive. But the thing
24:42
Speaker 3: is it's their property.
24:43
Speaker 2: That's right, isn't it.
24:44
Speaker 3: If you want to make your own food or take
24:46
Speaker 3: your own food, watch a movie at home. It is
24:49
Speaker 3: seventeen to.
24:50
Speaker 4: Six International correspondence with Insit Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
24:56
Speaker 4: for New Zealand Business.
24:58
Speaker 3: It is fourteen and it's away from six. Karmala Harris
25:02
Speaker 3: has been accused of using she's actually done this before,
25:05
Speaker 3: she has formed for this, but using a fake accent
25:08
Speaker 3: to try and blend in with those or relate to
25:12
Speaker 3: those who she's talking to.
25:13
Speaker 2: She was at a campaign.
25:14
Speaker 3: Rally in Atlanta, Georgia in the South. This is a
25:20
Speaker 3: woman from let's not forget California.
25:23
Speaker 8: Listen to this and you all helped us win in
25:27
Speaker 8: twenty twenty and we don't do it again in twenty
25:29
Speaker 8: twenty four.
25:31
Speaker 3: Here, we don't do that again. So anyway, people are
25:34
Speaker 3: saying it's a little cringe. Whenever she opens her mouth,
25:37
Speaker 3: she seems to imitate the accent of whoever she's standing
25:40
Speaker 3: in front of. Mitch mccanna's with us Live from the
25:43
Speaker 3: States to mony Mitch, good morning, good morning, Bridgie, how
25:48
Speaker 3: are you.
25:48
Speaker 2: I'm good?
25:48
Speaker 3: Thank you and has she When is she going to
25:52
Speaker 3: announce her running mate? Is it in the coming days
25:54
Speaker 3: or will it be in the coming weeks.
25:56
Speaker 14: It's in the coming day, So the race for running
25:58
Speaker 14: mate is nearing a conclude. According to the Harris campaign,
26:01
Speaker 14: they've revealed that the presidential candidate's going to hold her
26:04
Speaker 14: first rally alongside her VP pick next Tuesday local time,
26:09
Speaker 14: so Wednesday morning in New Zealand, and it's going to
26:11
Speaker 14: be in Philadelphia. Now, there's some top contenders in this
26:15
Speaker 14: race still, the Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly,
26:20
Speaker 14: a governor from Minnesota, and the Secretary of Transportation beat
26:23
Speaker 14: Pete Boodages. Now, this rally is taking place in Pennsylvania,
26:27
Speaker 14: but the campaign says, don't buy into that. It doesn't
26:29
Speaker 14: mean it's going to be Josh Shapiro the governor. They
26:32
Speaker 14: insist no campaign decision has been made. And just while
26:35
Speaker 14: I'm with you, Bridgie, there's new polling that's just come
26:37
Speaker 14: out in the last few hours for Kamala Harris that
26:40
Speaker 14: shows she has erased Donald Trump's lead and the number
26:44
Speaker 14: of swing states. So now she's winning in Michigan, Nevada,
26:47
Speaker 14: Arizona and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. North Carolina is still Trump
26:51
Speaker 14: and they're tired in Georgia. So this is a big
26:54
Speaker 14: comeback from the Democrats.
26:55
Speaker 3: It is a massive comeback, although you could argue still
26:59
Speaker 3: a honeymoon fit for her. And when I was looking Mitch,
27:02
Speaker 3: as I'm sure you have been two at the biggest
27:04
Speaker 3: issues that voters are voting on. Number one is the economy.
27:07
Speaker 3: You'd have to say that would be Trump's number two, immigration,
27:11
Speaker 3: Trump's number three abortion is hers. But on those big issues,
27:15
Speaker 3: he's got the edge over her, doesn't he.
27:18
Speaker 2: Yes.
27:18
Speaker 14: Well, they've been attacking the Biden administration over immigration for
27:22
Speaker 14: a very.
27:22
Speaker 2: Long time now.
27:23
Speaker 14: Around ten million immigrants have come into this country reportedly
27:27
Speaker 14: illegally in the last three or so years. They are
27:30
Speaker 14: accusing her of being Joe Biden's border czar, the person
27:33
Speaker 14: that has really overseeing this for the administration. So they'll
27:36
Speaker 14: put new videos out in the last forty eight hours
27:39
Speaker 14: accusing her of being the reason there are so many
27:42
Speaker 14: illegal immigrants in this country. So I think that's something
27:44
Speaker 14: we're likely to see in the coming months and in
27:46
Speaker 14: any debate if that actually happens.
27:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mitch, thank you.
27:49
Speaker 3: That is Mitch McCann with US Stateside, just gone eleven
27:53
Speaker 3: minutes away from six. We actually have the audio of
27:56
Speaker 3: that first attack ad from the Trump campaign. Will play
27:58
Speaker 3: it to you shortly, Bryan Bridge right now. And a
28:03
Speaker 3: throwback to DHBs Health, New Zealand has appointed four new
28:06
Speaker 3: regional directors aimed at bringing decision making back to the
28:11
Speaker 3: local level. It comes just a week after the board
28:13
Speaker 3: was sacked and replaced with a commissioner. The Association of
28:16
Speaker 3: Salaried Medical Specialists executive director Sarah Dalton's with me now. Sarah,
28:20
Speaker 3: good morning, Good to have you on the program. First
28:26
Speaker 3: of all, does this seem counterintuitive to you? At one
28:30
Speaker 3: level we've got, oh, it's too much to bureaucracy, and
28:32
Speaker 3: now we're appointing four more managers.
28:36
Speaker 6: I don't know, Ryan, We've already got regional directors in place,
28:40
Speaker 6: they've been there for a while. These new regional directors
28:45
Speaker 6: who will replace them have got a different set of
28:47
Speaker 6: responsibilities and delegations, including I think bringing oversight of commissioning
28:53
Speaker 6: or parts of the funded health sector back under their oversight.
29:01
Speaker 6: I don't know. For our members, you know who are
29:04
Speaker 6: working in hospitals at the front line The biggest challenge
29:08
Speaker 6: I think is workforce and staffing levels, and you know,
29:13
Speaker 6: their lack of colleagues, and so there's been a lot
29:16
Speaker 6: of rhetoric from the government and from the new Commissioner
29:20
Speaker 6: lest the Llevy that there is enough money, there won't
29:22
Speaker 6: be any more money, and that they can make do
29:25
Speaker 6: with what they've got, and that does not feel great
29:28
Speaker 6: from where we're sitting in terms of whether there are
29:31
Speaker 6: enough doctors out there to get the work done safely
29:36
Speaker 6: in an untimely manner.
29:38
Speaker 3: You're representing senior salary doctors and dentists and things like that.
29:45
Speaker 3: Have you noticed have your members noticed are changed in
29:49
Speaker 3: frontline staff, because that was the theory we would get
29:51
Speaker 3: rid of some back office and we would feel it
29:54
Speaker 3: more in the front. We would have more people at
29:56
Speaker 3: the front.
29:57
Speaker 2: Do we.
30:00
Speaker 7: No.
30:02
Speaker 6: I've just been traveling around the country talking directly with
30:05
Speaker 6: members because we're going back into collective bargaining in a
30:09
Speaker 6: month or so to talk about their core terms and conditions,
30:13
Speaker 6: and they are they're desperate for more colleagues. So you know,
30:21
Speaker 6: if less Levy and the new regional directors can show
30:25
Speaker 6: us datus about where all these doctors are supposed to be.
30:30
Speaker 6: We would love to see it because what we see
30:32
Speaker 6: as people who are very stressed, who are working really hard,
30:36
Speaker 6: and who are really concerned about their inability to give
30:41
Speaker 6: the level of care to people who need it in
30:43
Speaker 6: a timely fashion. So things are very difficult out there,
30:47
Speaker 6: and so we don't have oversight as to the where
30:52
Speaker 6: the money exactly is going in terms of these budget provisions.
30:55
Speaker 6: But from the information I have seen, you know, a
30:58
Speaker 6: lot of it is about paying people what they're worth.
31:01
Speaker 6: You know, there's been a little it almost feels like
31:03
Speaker 6: nurses are being blamed for you know, we've recruited too
31:05
Speaker 6: many nurses too quickly. But that is a really weird
31:10
Speaker 6: thing to say, because there are still significant gaps out there.
31:14
Speaker 6: The fact that Healthy Zealand's been successful recruiting nurses is
31:17
Speaker 6: a good thing and we need to put other measures
31:21
Speaker 6: in place about the success of their health system, not
31:24
Speaker 6: just budget.
31:25
Speaker 3: Sarah Dalton, thank you very much for your time this morning.
31:27
Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
31:28
Speaker 3: The Association of Salary Medical Specialists Executive Director, Sarah Dalton.
31:32
Speaker 3: By the way, those four new heads of the regions
31:36
Speaker 3: Northern Mark Shephard, Katherine Cronin from Midland, Robin Shearer for
31:41
Speaker 3: Central and Martin Keo for the entire South Island. It
31:45
Speaker 3: is seven to six.
31:48
Speaker 4: Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge you for twenty
31:52
Speaker 4: twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
31:55
Speaker 4: furniture beds and a player store news talks, it'd be just.
31:59
Speaker 2: Gone five to six.
32:00
Speaker 3: Mike Hoskins in the studio, Mike, you would have heard
32:02
Speaker 3: me ranting earlier about popcorn gate. Yes to the movies,
32:05
Speaker 3: this family that's gone and taken there got.
32:08
Speaker 13: The answer to that? Actually, what is it? Don't go
32:10
Speaker 13: to the movie? I can I ask you, I can't
32:12
Speaker 13: remember the last time I've been to a movie twenty years,
32:16
Speaker 13: if not longer twenty years, probably longer. Well, I mean
32:19
Speaker 13: were streaming these days? What's in a movie that you
32:21
Speaker 13: can't stream? And what sort of movie would you have
32:24
Speaker 13: to watch to warrant going to the movies unless it's
32:27
Speaker 13: one of those big sea Jeppenheimer?
32:30
Speaker 2: Oppenheimer at the.
32:31
Speaker 13: What how long was Oppenheimer?
32:34
Speaker 3: Wasn't that the three hours?
32:36
Speaker 13: So you go to the movies to sit next to
32:38
Speaker 13: someone who smells and what's meat?
32:40
Speaker 2: Properly for three hours?
32:42
Speaker 13: And you've paid money for that?
32:43
Speaker 2: Not everybody smells. In fact, movies are so expensive.
32:46
Speaker 13: Now that's the other thing. Do you know what I
32:50
Speaker 13: watched yesterday question Time? Oh yeah, that's my sort of
32:55
Speaker 13: I do. I my own snacks and stuff. This is
32:57
Speaker 13: an extraordinary thing that's coming up with Pingate, and it's
33:01
Speaker 13: sort of it's got pingate, and it's tied in with
33:04
Speaker 13: Karen Chure who ended up in tears because she's been bullied,
33:07
Speaker 13: and it's also tied in with a woman who wants
33:09
Speaker 13: to be the head of a select committee but has
33:12
Speaker 13: been denied allegedly because she's not man's right.
33:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's the thing is though, do you think we
33:17
Speaker 3: should because David Seen was obviously kicking up a big
33:19
Speaker 3: stink saying, oh, it's racist. Do you think that's the
33:22
