0:11
Speaker 1: Used talks.
0:11
Speaker 2: It'd be good morning. I'm back from a few days off.
0:15
Speaker 2: I have missed you very much. It it's good to
0:17
Speaker 2: be back here with you. This morning. We will head
0:19
Speaker 2: to the Vatican this morning for the goss on a
0:22
Speaker 2: new Pope. We'll talk about the ev charging loans that
0:25
Speaker 2: the government stumping up. Elliott Smith on aucland FC plus.
0:29
Speaker 2: We will head to Gavin Gray over in the UK.
0:34
Speaker 1: The agenda.
0:35
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Monday to twenty eighth of eight
0:37
Speaker 2: for all this car ramming into a bunch of people
0:39
Speaker 2: in Vancouver and Canada. They reckon eleven dead, twenty injured.
0:43
Speaker 2: It happened at a Filipino festival. These suspects in custody.
0:47
Speaker 2: Here's Carney THEPM for now.
0:50
Speaker 3: Yesterday evening, I and all Canadians were shocked, devastated and heartbroken.
0:57
Speaker 3: Nine people were killed than twenty were injured in what
1:01
Speaker 3: the Vancouver Police are describing as a co ramming attack.
1:06
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, they are not describing this as an act
1:10
Speaker 2: of terrorism.
1:11
Speaker 3: An investigation is ongoing to determine how and why this
1:15
Speaker 3: horrific attack occurred. Currently, we do not believe that there
1:20
Speaker 3: is any active threat to Canadian.
1:22
Speaker 2: That is, despite the timing of all of this the
1:25
Speaker 2: eve of the Canadian election. Will get results on that tomorrow. Meanwhile,
1:28
Speaker 2: in Iran, the massive explosion at Apport twenty eight people dead,
1:32
Speaker 2: hundreds injured. It was huge And if you like me
1:35
Speaker 2: and you wondered whether it was a weapons related thing,
1:39
Speaker 2: you're sort of right. The fire in the blast came
1:41
Speaker 2: from containers with solid fuel destined for ballistic missiles.
1:45
Speaker 4: There's a possibility that there were some chemicals and inflammatory
1:49
Speaker 4: substances inside it, and they might have been mishandled. But
1:53
Speaker 4: the more we see, the more footages are coming out
1:55
Speaker 4: of Iran from the moment of the blast, the more
1:58
Speaker 4: questions are being greased to.
2:00
Speaker 2: The US Team Trump talking down the chance of using
2:03
Speaker 2: sanctions against Russia. That's despite the fact that Trump tweeted
2:06
Speaker 2: at the weekend that he might need to do just that.
2:08
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio isn't keen. We don't want to get to
2:11
Speaker 2: that point. This is still not the time.
2:13
Speaker 5: I think what the President is saying and has been
2:15
Speaker 5: saying for some time now, is he is aware.
2:17
Speaker 2: That he has these options.
2:18
Speaker 6: People ask him about it all the time, but what
2:21
Speaker 6: he really wants is a piece deal.
2:22
Speaker 2: He wants to dyeing and the killing to start.
2:26
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
2:30
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple News Talk.
2:34
Speaker 2: Said be Plus. Just inside the last half hour, the
2:36
Speaker 2: Israelis have hit Bay Route with one missile. Lebanon says.
2:40
Speaker 2: The one person has died. It was a weapons facility.
2:43
Speaker 2: That's according to the israetings at this point. Anyway, give
2:46
Speaker 2: you a text this morning nine two nine two would
2:49
Speaker 2: love to hear from you. National They need to get
2:52
Speaker 2: rid of this flagship family boost policy, which sounds like
2:56
Speaker 2: quite a radical thing to say, but it's a bit
2:59
Speaker 2: of a shambles, not just because people who thought they'd
3:03
Speaker 2: receive it and would get it aren't getting it, but
3:05
Speaker 2: because the paperwork the admin involved in it is so
3:10
Speaker 2: convoluted it's almost worse than filling in a tax return.
3:14
Speaker 2: So you'll remember back at the election, the family Boost
3:17
Speaker 2: was going to help one hundred and thirty thousand households.
3:20
Speaker 2: That's what they told us. Actually only fifty six thousand
3:23
Speaker 2: have been helped so far, and the number getting the
3:26
Speaker 2: full two hundred and fifty bucks a week is about
3:30
Speaker 2: one percent apparently of what they said it would be
3:33
Speaker 2: to begin with. These numbers came out last week and
3:36
Speaker 2: I thought, that's a mess. But it's still got time
3:41
Speaker 2: to bed in. You know. Perhaps it hasn't been advertised enough,
3:44
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But that's not why they should ditch it.
3:47
Speaker 2: They should ditch it because it's so time consuming. It
3:51
Speaker 2: was meant to be seventy five bucks a week or whatever,
3:54
Speaker 2: paid straight into your bank account easy as Now you're
3:58
Speaker 2: filling informs every day quarter, you're posting in receipts, you're
4:04
Speaker 2: verifying your identity, you're calling call centers, you are waiting
4:08
Speaker 2: on hold. It is the very worst of government. It
4:12
Speaker 2: is the farthest thing from EASYPZ one two three that
4:16
Speaker 2: you can get. The method that they said they would
4:18
Speaker 2: use to get the money too you apparently doesn't work.
4:20
Speaker 2: So the one they are stuck with is a bureaucrats
4:25
Speaker 2: dream and a hard working, busy, tax paying families. Worst
4:29
Speaker 2: nightmare if you went to a shop and you bought
4:32
Speaker 2: a washing machine and then they said, oh, you press
4:34
Speaker 2: this button and your clothes will get cleaned, and you
4:36
Speaker 2: bring it home and you realize not only did it
4:38
Speaker 2: only wash half the clothes that you put in the thing,
4:42
Speaker 2: but you also have to spend an hour spinning them
4:45
Speaker 2: dry with your own hands. Once you've finished, wouldn't you
4:47
Speaker 2: go back for a refund? Of course you would. And
4:51
Speaker 2: remember this is Nikola Willis. We're talking about the anti paperwork,
4:57
Speaker 2: bureaucrat busting finance minister who understands hard work and busy parents.
5:03
Speaker 2: She can't afford to keep this program running in its
5:05
Speaker 2: current form any more than parents can afford to put
5:08
Speaker 2: their kids into childcare. Right and Bridge eleven minutes after
5:12
Speaker 2: five year on News Talk SVB. Next we're going to
5:15
Speaker 2: talk about the ev charging. So the government is scrapping
5:18
Speaker 2: the current program they've got, but they're doing some interest
5:21
Speaker 2: free loans for the private sector to get your Yondai
5:25
Speaker 2: iconics charged on your road trips. You're on News Talk
5:28
Speaker 2: SEVB eleven after five.
5:30
Speaker 1: News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
5:33
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
5:37
Speaker 1: Property Search Simple.
5:39
Speaker 2: News TALKSB five thirteen on News Talk SAIB. So this
5:42
Speaker 2: five hundred extra cops that the government has promised by November,
5:46
Speaker 2: and yes it is an ambitious target, and we're beginning
5:49
Speaker 2: to understand just how ambitious it is. Nothing wrong with
5:51
Speaker 2: having ambition, of course, it means you might actually get
5:54
Speaker 2: somewhere in life. But the problem in today's front page
5:57
Speaker 2: of the Herald story is this idea that they lowering
6:00
Speaker 2: the standards in order to make that happen. So this
6:05
Speaker 2: story in the Herald, and look, there's a lot of
6:07
Speaker 2: guff in here, but the basis of it, there are
6:09
Speaker 2: three police officers that are aware of who have managed
6:13
Speaker 2: to get around to skirt around the fact they failed
6:15
Speaker 2: the physical test. This is your two point four k run,
6:19
Speaker 2: your press ups, your vertical jump examination. Three officers have
6:24
Speaker 2: apparently got around doing this, you know, two busy eating donuts.
6:27
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they've got around doing this, and
6:30
Speaker 2: labors up in arms, as you can imagine, the Police
6:32
Speaker 2: Association up in arms. So they've ordered a review over
6:34
Speaker 2: the last six months. Basically, the story needs a bit
6:36
Speaker 2: more detail because three does not a scandal mate at
6:40
Speaker 2: this point, fourteen after five, so the government very busy
6:44
Speaker 2: weekend for them actually going to dish out interest free
6:46
Speaker 2: loans to private companies to build more ev charging stations
6:50
Speaker 2: around the country. This is so if you've got a
6:53
Speaker 2: leaf or you've got an iconic, you can plug in
6:56
Speaker 2: and carry on your merry way. It replaces the current
6:59
Speaker 2: grant skin the government putting sixty eight and a half
7:02
Speaker 2: million dollars forward as interest free loans for companies to
7:05
Speaker 2: build the infrastructure. Kirsten Corson is the chair of Drive
7:09
Speaker 2: Electric with me this morning. Kirston, Good morning, Good morning Ryan.
7:13
Speaker 2: Great to have you on. Now, is this going to
7:15
Speaker 2: change the game?
7:17
Speaker 7: Well, we do need something to change the game because
7:19
Speaker 7: we're definitely falling behind the OECD and it is positive
7:24
Speaker 7: to see the government are still committed to the ten
7:27
Speaker 7: thousand charges by twenty thirty, which is quite a target.
7:31
Speaker 7: So we're hoping it can be a game changer.
7:34
Speaker 2: But you sound a bit cautious.
7:38
Speaker 7: Well, it's a new model. So the majority of OECD
7:42
Speaker 7: countries have grant based funding and they do it because
7:45
Speaker 7: it works. So for every dollar that the government invests,
7:48
Speaker 7: they get around three dollars plus of economic benefit. You know,
7:51
Speaker 7: it's a proven model. Where this is a new model
7:55
Speaker 7: and we've got eighty six hundred charges to get in
7:57
Speaker 7: the ground by twenty thirty.
8:00
Speaker 2: I guess the government's argument will be Well, they are better.
8:03
Speaker 2: The private businesses will be better at doing it than
8:05
Speaker 2: anyone else will. What about how easy is it to
8:09
Speaker 2: actually get the charging systems and plugged into the grid.
8:14
Speaker 7: Well, that's another challenge for us. It's not like an
8:16
Speaker 7: ultra fast broadband rollout. Most OCD countries have around ten
8:21
Speaker 7: lines companies, whereas New Zealand's got twenty nine. So twenty
8:26
Speaker 7: nine lines companies with different pricing models, with different processes,
8:31
Speaker 7: and there's a lack of visibility of network capacity as well,
8:34
Speaker 7: so it's a lot harder to roll out charging infrastructure
8:39
Speaker 7: than it is ultra fast broadband.
8:41
Speaker 2: What is the difference between different regions if you've got
8:45
Speaker 2: a different lines company, what is the potential difference and cost?
8:51
Speaker 7: Well, it can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. So
8:54
Speaker 7: it may take you six weeks in one region to
8:57
Speaker 7: figure out if there's enough network capacity a transformer, but
9:01
Speaker 7: it might take you three months in a different region.
9:04
Speaker 7: So you know, it's quite challenging for the charge point operators.
9:08
Speaker 7: And I guess another question for US is how this
9:13
Speaker 7: program support rural New Zealand and our provinces because it's
9:18
Speaker 7: really appealing for our charge point operators to install our
9:23
Speaker 7: charges public charges in the big cities where there's a
9:27
Speaker 7: really strong economic return, but it's a little bit more
9:32
Speaker 7: challenging to get the economic return in our provinces right
9:36
Speaker 7: the lower population base.
9:38
Speaker 2: A really good point, Kristin. Really appreciate your analysis. This morning.
9:41
Speaker 2: Kirsten Couson's chair of Drive Electric with us. It is
9:43
Speaker 2: eighteen minutes after five. Y're on News Talk SEDB Next
9:46
Speaker 2: Elliott Smith and those Auckland FC players quite happy with
9:51
Speaker 2: themselves this morning.
9:53
Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge on the edition where One Room Make Your
9:56
Speaker 1: Property Search Simple used Talk.
9:59
Speaker 2: ZB five twenty. Somebody's text in saying in Hamilton the
10:02
Speaker 2: Mills Street Pack and Save has removed their public charges,
10:06
Speaker 2: which is just devastating. Now let's get to Alix Smith's
10:09
Speaker 2: sport Ellick, good morning morning, Ryan, Good to see you. Now, look,
10:13
Speaker 2: probably a lot of people know the answer to this question,
10:15
Speaker 2: but I'm wondering what you what does that actually mean
10:17
Speaker 2: to win an a league, minor premiership.
10:19
Speaker 8: Oh, you get a bit of silverware, a nice place
10:22
Speaker 8: and you're crowned for the best team over the course
10:25
Speaker 8: of the regular season. But what it is great Let's
10:28
Speaker 8: let's not get me wrong with you on that front,
10:30
Speaker 8: but you're only gonna remember the ultimate winner after the playoffs.
10:34
Speaker 8: So Aukland to see you put themselves in the best
10:35
Speaker 8: possible position of still at one game of the regular
10:37
Speaker 8: season to go. Then they're into the playoffs and we
10:40
Speaker 8: hope that ends in a Grand final victory. The A
10:42
Speaker 8: League's kind of unique in terms of the footballing world elsewhere,
10:45
Speaker 8: you know, like Liverpool's about to do this morning. Winning
10:47
Speaker 8: the Premier League, you finish top of the regular season.
10:50
Speaker 8: There's only a regular season. You finish top of that,
10:52
Speaker 8: you win the Premier League. Yeah, but the A League
10:56
Speaker 8: probably because from this part of the world and we've
10:57
Speaker 8: got the NROL finals and the Super Agua Finals and
10:59
Speaker 8: everything like that, we're not used to a top of
11:01
Speaker 8: the log sort of format. So they play on and
11:03
Speaker 8: have the finals after that.
11:06
Speaker 2: So basically we've done the business. We're at top of
11:09
Speaker 2: the thing heading into the playoffs and then hopefully into
11:11
Speaker 2: the Grand Final. That's right, which would be lovely. Now
11:13
Speaker 2: the Warriors currently sitting fourth on the ladder.
11:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is a very good start for them, and
11:18
Speaker 8: a couple of good wins that are Rye Broncos and
11:20
Speaker 8: then the Knights on Anzac Day and christ Chooch. You
11:23
Speaker 8: look at the NRL this year and it's a competition
11:26
Speaker 8: full of upsets. The Panthers, four time winners, back at
11:29
Speaker 8: the bottom of the league. The Storm, as always are
11:32
Speaker 8: up there, but there's a whole mix of teams in
11:34
Speaker 8: the top eight at the moment that are jostling for position,
11:36
Speaker 8: and the Warriors are right up there and it feels
11:38
Speaker 8: like they can bank a few more wins. They've got
11:41
Speaker 8: the Cowboys away at the Magic Round this weekend. There's
11:44
Speaker 8: gonna be a tough match to the Cowboys in the
11:46
Speaker 8: top eight as well, but they're building quite nicely. I
11:48
Speaker 8: think they had that blip against the Storm a few
11:50
Speaker 8: weeks back where they were completely terrible, but they seem
11:53
Speaker 8: to have found their rhythm a little bit and in
11:55
Speaker 8: the top four. It's a good spot to be at
11:57
Speaker 8: this point of the season. And then some of the
11:59
Speaker 8: teams start losing orange players in a few weeks time,
12:01
Speaker 8: and that creates a whole new dynamic in the league
12:04
Speaker 8: and teams become a little bit weaker. So ook the Warriors.
12:07
Speaker 8: They picked up a couple of wins on a bit
12:08
Speaker 8: of a role in the NRAL.
12:09
Speaker 2: Pastic look We're looking quite good across the board, yeah, apart.
12:13
Speaker 8: From the Blues and the Super Rugby team quite honest.
12:16
Speaker 2: So we've got the Chiefs and the Crusaders at the top,
12:18
Speaker 2: that's right.
12:18
Speaker 8: And it feels like in a couple of weeks time
12:21
Speaker 8: they're going to meet in a regular season game in
12:23
Speaker 8: christ Jews that that could well decide who gets top
12:26
Speaker 8: of the seedings for the playoffs. And we know how
12:30
Speaker 8: important that is in Super Rugby. You play at home,
12:32
Speaker 8: you're more likely to win. The Hurricanes getting into the
12:35
Speaker 8: top six over the course of the weekend, so they're
12:37
Speaker 8: right still in the mix. But the Blues, this title
12:40
Speaker 8: defense of theirs is going backwards. That are rated not
12:42
Speaker 8: It's very poor against the Reds on the weekend. They
12:45
Speaker 8: can still sneak into the playoffs for line, but hard
12:48
Speaker 8: to see them making a run towards the title from here.
12:51
Speaker 2: Can't see it all right, Elliott, great stuff, good see
12:53
Speaker 2: as always Alex Smith zby Sport Voice of Rugby. But
12:56
Speaker 2: this morning on Everything twenty three minutes after five Here
12:59
Speaker 2: on News Talks, Ryan regular listener, Good morning, nice to
13:03
Speaker 2: hear from you, Michael. I disagree with you, which is fine,
13:07
Speaker 2: Michael you can do that. I disagree with your view
13:10
Speaker 2: that only three confirmed recruits so far have skipped the
13:13
Speaker 2: physical test. Being trained didn't meet the physical standards required.
13:17
Speaker 2: Policing in twenty twenty five is a physically and mentally
13:21
Speaker 2: demanding vocation. As a retired detective sergeant, it is imperative
13:25
Speaker 2: all work colleagues have met the physical competency test. Operational
13:30
Speaker 2: requirements can be compromised if the colleague at your shoulder
13:33
Speaker 2: hadn't met their PCT. I completely agree with you. All
13:37
Speaker 2: I'm saying is, at this point, does three recruits out
13:42
Speaker 2: of and there's one hundred in the training ring wing,
13:44
Speaker 2: Remember they've increased it from eighty two one hundred. Does
13:47
Speaker 2: three recruits somehow getting around the PCT a scandal make
13:53
Speaker 2: at this point? I don't think it does. Twenty four
13:55
Speaker 2: after five News Talks, I've been the.
13:57
Speaker 1: Early edition full show podcast on iHeart Radio how It
14:01
Speaker 1: by News Talk ZIB.
14:03
Speaker 2: Five on News TALKSIB the White House Correspondence going to
14:07
Speaker 2: happen over the weekend, and it was quite boring because
14:09
Speaker 2: there were no comedians and no one was funny, and
14:11
Speaker 2: Trump wasn't there. Of course, he was off at the
14:13
Speaker 2: Pope's funerals. So it was a bit boring. But finally
14:17
Speaker 2: the White House press pack has come around to the
14:19
Speaker 2: idea that maybe they got it wrong when it came
14:22
Speaker 2: to Joe Biden being well losing his marbles while in
14:25
Speaker 2: charge of nuclear weapons. Here is an Axios reporter who
14:29
Speaker 2: won an award basically giving his colleagues a suit.
14:32
Speaker 9: President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
14:37
Speaker 9: around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
14:41
Speaker 9: of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers
14:47
Speaker 9: also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
14:54
Speaker 9: missed a lot of this story and some people trust
14:57
Speaker 9: us least because of it.
14:59
Speaker 2: Ran yeah, say that again. Twenty seven after five. Now
15:03
Speaker 2: there was a priest on the news last night talking
15:05
Speaker 2: about homeless people the cost of buying a house in
15:07
Speaker 2: New Zealand. This priest, who was naturally dressed in all
15:11
Speaker 2: the garb, the robe, the hatch, the works, then mentioned
15:14
Speaker 2: the fact that there were marina berths down at the
15:17
Speaker 2: waterfront bursting at the seams with super yachts. And I thought,
15:21
Speaker 2: what an odd thing to say. I know, the church's
15:25
Speaker 2: role is to help the poor, and they do that,
15:26
Speaker 2: and I've seen them do that and it's fantastic. But
15:29
Speaker 2: to then also blame the wealthy for not helping the poor?
15:33
Speaker 2: Is that helping or is that politics? The Church the
15:37
Speaker 2: state had been clashing of late. In case you've missed it,
15:39
Speaker 2: we all saw those quote faith leaders come out during
15:43
Speaker 2: the Treaty Principle's Bill and give David Seymour a bollocking.
15:46
Speaker 2: What exactly is the endgame here? That's my question. Are they,
15:50
Speaker 2: like the good Bishop Brian Tummocky, keen on getting into
15:53
Speaker 2: Parliament themselves. The Salvation Army does a report every year
15:57
Speaker 2: looking at the wealth of billionaires. There's a lot of
16:00
Speaker 2: finger pointing and tisking about those who've accumulated a lot
16:04
Speaker 2: of wealth, but what about those who've got a lot
16:08
Speaker 2: but also give a lot. For a good example, we
16:11
Speaker 2: need look no further than the Catholic Church itself. It
16:15
Speaker 2: is one of the largest and wealthiest organizations in the world.
16:18
Speaker 2: The Vatican, because of its small population, the eighteenth wealthiest
16:22
Speaker 2: nation per capita. They boast a huge real estate portfolio.
16:27
Speaker 2: Hard to work out exactly what they're worth, but they
16:29
Speaker 2: reckon somewhere between seventy three and two hundred and fifty
16:32
Speaker 2: billion dollars, so more than the combined wealth of all
16:35
Speaker 2: the billionaires that this country's ever known. To be honest,
16:39
Speaker 2: none of this bothers me. I believe everybody should believe
16:42
Speaker 2: whatever God they want to believe in, whatever after life
16:45
Speaker 2: they want to believe in. That is religious freedom. Tithe
16:49
Speaker 2: to your heart's content, preach till your blue in the face.
16:52
Speaker 2: I respect your right to think and pray as you want.
16:56
Speaker 2: But if you're going to preach for the poor and
16:59
Speaker 2: against the wealthy, perhaps getting your own house in order
17:03
Speaker 2: might be a good place to start. Least you come
17:06
Speaker 2: across a tad hypocritical Ryan Bridge, twenty nine after five,
17:11
Speaker 2: You're on news Talks. Heb lots more to come, including
17:13

17:16

17:37
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
17:39
Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make
17:43
Speaker 1: your Property search simple News Talk sib.
17:48
Speaker 2: I'll leave you everything now. We wake up from a dream.
17:51
Speaker 10: Well baby, what burst that?
17:54
Speaker 9: Good morning?
17:54
Speaker 2: It is twenty four minutes away from sex. You're on
17:56
Speaker 2: news Talk, said B. This is Lord her new single
17:59
Speaker 2: that she's really over the weekend too much banfim and
18:03
Speaker 2: she's already hit number one. She is a great artist.
18:05
Speaker 2: You cannot deny it. I mean likely music or hat music.
18:08
Speaker 2: She's number one on the US Spotify charts and number
18:11
Speaker 2: two in New Zealand. So well done Lord this morning,
18:15
Speaker 2: lots of you. It seems I was preaching to the
18:17
Speaker 2: choir with my comments earlier about the Catholic Church. You know,
18:21
Speaker 2: just coming out and say having a crack at wealthy
18:23
Speaker 2: people for not helping the poor. Is that on brand
18:27
Speaker 2: when you are as an organization quite wealthy yourselves. Ryan
18:32
Speaker 2: agreed with you. I caught that statement on the news
18:34
Speaker 2: last night. My immediate thought was that was political from
18:37
Speaker 2: the church. Another says the Catholic wealth is truly astounding.
18:41
Speaker 2: Envy is the subject of one of the commandments, is
18:44
Speaker 2: it not? And Michael says, very hypocritical from them. I mean,
18:48
Speaker 2: I don't want to I'm not bashing the Catholic Church.
18:50
Speaker 2: I'm just saying if you are going to go after wealth,
18:54
Speaker 2: then you know you've got to accept that you guys
18:57
Speaker 2: on paper at least pretty wealthy yourself. Twenty three away
19:01
Speaker 2: from sex Bran to just go to our reporters around
19:04
Speaker 2: the country. We'll start with Callum Proctor in Donedan Callen,
19:06
Speaker 2: good morning morning, right, you've got news of a fundraise
19:10
Speaker 2: that we're raising some pretty serious cash.
19:13
Speaker 5: This is for a man critically injured after falling from
19:15
Speaker 5: a Queenstown balcony over the east to break. Give a
19:18
Speaker 5: little page has been set up. More than fifty thousand
19:21
Speaker 5: dollars raised already for him after emergency services were called
19:25
Speaker 5: to a holiday home. This was on Frankton Road. A
19:29
Speaker 5: glass railing the man was leaning on collapsed. He was
19:32
Speaker 5: herelifted to christ Each Hospital and remains in a stable condition.
19:36
Speaker 5: This give a little page for the man and his
19:38
Speaker 5: family described the incident as a freak accident while on holiday.
19:41
Speaker 5: Police inquiries are ongoing in the Queenstown Lakes District Councils
19:45
Speaker 5: also carrying out its own inquiries.
19:47
Speaker 2: All right, callum, how's here?
19:48
Speaker 5: Weather in Dunedin fine to start start off with, but
19:52
Speaker 5: occasional rain this afternoon at the high today eighteen brilliant.
19:56
Speaker 2: Thank you Claires and christ It this morning clear. Good
19:58
Speaker 2: morning to you. Good morning. Another look into the murder
20:01
Speaker 2: of a christ Church woman. This is the woman who
20:04
Speaker 2: was killed by her neighbor.
20:05
Speaker 11: Yes, that's right, Ryan. Look, Joseph Brider is the man
20:08
Speaker 11: responsible for this. He was jailed for life after not
20:11
Speaker 11: only murdering but also violating Juliana Herrera at her home
20:15
Speaker 11: in Addington back in January twenty twenty two. The convicted
20:18
Speaker 11: rapist had only been released on parole seventy two days beforehand.
20:23
Speaker 11: Now we've learned over time that the Department of Corrections
20:26
Speaker 11: had no reported concerns about Rider before he moved into
20:30
Speaker 11: the flat, adjoining Herrera. He then quickly became obsessed with
20:34
Speaker 11: her and subsequently killed her. A coronial in quest will
20:37
Speaker 11: start today. This is to find out if anything went wrong,
20:40
Speaker 11: specifically with the killer's release and management in the community,
20:44
Speaker 11: with the hope, of course, to prevent similar tragedies in
20:46
Speaker 11: the future.
20:47
Speaker 2: Clear, how's your weather today?
20:49
Speaker 11: Looks pretty nice in christ Church fine for much of
20:51
Speaker 11: the day. A spot or two of light rain a
20:53
Speaker 11: bit later southeast developing later to the Hi though twenty
20:56
Speaker 11: two brilliant.
20:58
Speaker 2: Thank you. Max, isn't going to Max? Good morning? Good morning. Yeah,
21:01
Speaker 2: you've got a story about boy races in Wellington. Can
21:02
Speaker 2: I guess where they were? Well? Yeah, but I think
21:06
Speaker 2: it might be wrong. This time. But go ahead. Ah,
21:09
Speaker 2: oh okay, well this look good. Are they in the hut?
21:12
Speaker 2: Are they in cart or are they in Kapadi?
21:15
Speaker 6: Okay, that's a pretty broad spectrum. Well yeah, i'd actually
21:20
Speaker 6: written into my script. Typically the worst of this problem
21:22
Speaker 6: has been in the upper hut around Wallaceville, but this
21:26
Speaker 6: time not so wided Apple pottydoer. Actually police really talking
21:31
Speaker 6: up their efforts cracking down on They call them anti
21:34
Speaker 6: social road users, but that could really mean anyone. Boy
21:38
Speaker 6: races and wide and apple potty doer. Cars seized by
21:40
Speaker 6: bailiffs over the weekend, impounded fines, handed out three people
21:45
Speaker 6: over the legal alcohol limits, an arrest for driving while suspended.
21:50
Speaker 6: Good work by police.
21:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Max. How's your with it today? Mostly fine?
21:55
Speaker 6: Northerlyes are peaking in the low twenties.
21:57
Speaker 2: Great good structure, neighbors here high neevas.
22:00
Speaker 10: How was your little we holiday?
22:02
Speaker 2: Feel like I've been away for a year? I bet
22:06
Speaker 2: ye it was lovely.
22:07
Speaker 10: Well, I was here working the three days in between.
22:09
Speaker 10: We did miss you, he thought, Oh, look at him holiday,
22:12
Speaker 10: No you do. You did deserve it that.
22:14
Speaker 2: Oh it was lovely to be away, but lovely to
22:16
Speaker 2: be back too. And good to see you. Now. A
22:19
Speaker 2: lack of support for businesses off Auckland's Queen Street during construction.
22:23
Speaker 10: Yes, this is you know, that same old story again.
22:26
Speaker 10: You know the intersections Victoria Wellesley Streets peppered with all
22:30
Speaker 10: those you know, the dug up footpaths, and the projects
22:32
Speaker 10: like the water care wastewater upgrades and of course the
22:35
Speaker 10: City rail Link. Now Mike Lee Auckland councilor, he says,
22:39
Speaker 10: when one project finishes, I've got to do another one.
22:42
Speaker 10: They've just got to get it all done. But the
22:43
Speaker 10: pedestrian counts, retail activities continued to decline year on year.
22:47
Speaker 10: This has been going on for years and so obviously
22:50
Speaker 10: the businesses are not happy about that. Vive Beck Heart
22:53
Speaker 10: of the City Chief Executive, she's come out again. She's saying, look,
22:57
Speaker 10: you know, people there shouldn't be suffering due to these
23:00
Speaker 10: public projects. Has been little help. And you know she's
23:02
Speaker 10: been calling again for government support for businesses for years.
23:06
Speaker 10: Construction has been endless, now nearly a decade. I was
23:09
Speaker 10: gonna say, can you believe it?
23:10
Speaker 2: But yes, you go down there and it's like, yeah,
23:13
Speaker 2: well you don't go down there.
23:14
Speaker 10: No, Well that's right, and that's the problem.
23:16
Speaker 2: Now, Neva. How's Auckland's wing rain.
23:18
Speaker 10: Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, twenty two? Is the
23:21
Speaker 10: high still warm?
23:23
Speaker 2: Very long? Actually I woke up last night in the sweat.
23:26
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was because of the weather. I
23:30
Speaker 2: should say, I can't believe it.
23:32
Speaker 10: You're absolutely right because it's nearly May, and I mean
23:35
Speaker 10: today tomorrow Auckland we've got highs of twenty two and
23:38
Speaker 10: I just to clear on christ Church saying twenty two Wednesday,
23:41
Speaker 10: I have twenty three, for goodness sake.
23:43
Speaker 2: Oh thank you here Conne beyond eighteen minutes away from
23:47
Speaker 2: six year. On News Talk c B, we're going to
23:49
Speaker 2: get to Gavin Graham the UK plus the Vatican.
23:51
Speaker 1: It's all ahead, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
23:56
Speaker 1: peace of mind for New Zealand business.
23:59
Speaker 2: It is called It's the Sexier. On News Talk, say
24:01
Speaker 2: Liverpool have just won the Premier League. Over in the UK,
24:04
Speaker 2: we're going to get to Devin Gray are UK europe correspondent,
24:06
Speaker 2: Gaven good morning.
24:08
Speaker 12: Good morning.
24:09
Speaker 2: Run Now we will come back to Liverpool in a second.
24:12
Speaker 2: But you've got news of a counter terrorism operation by police.
24:15
Speaker 2: What's happening here?
24:18
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's in Yorkshire in the northeast of England, and
24:22
Speaker 12: it is said that three people have been taken to
24:24
Speaker 12: hospital having been found injured in Leeds in the Headingley area,
24:29
Speaker 12: famous of course for its cricket and being quite a
24:32
Speaker 12: sort of well to do area of the city of Leeds.
24:35
Speaker 12: And of those three who have been taken to hospital,
24:38
Speaker 12: one is the suspected attacker, and it is said that
24:43
Speaker 12: one of them has been seriously injured and the attack
24:46
Speaker 12: was with a crossbow. But the reason it appears that
24:49
Speaker 12: counter terrorism police are investigating this incident is that alongside
24:54
Speaker 12: the crossbow they also found a firearm recovered at the
24:57
Speaker 12: scene and the thirty eight year old suspect said has
25:00
Speaker 12: suffered a self inflicted injury. Now, as I said, we
25:04
Speaker 12: have few details about the two victims. One is now
25:07
Speaker 12: thought to be out of hospital, the other is still
25:09
Speaker 12: in hospital. And this happened along something very very popular
25:14
Speaker 12: called the Otly Run pub crawl route. It's often very
25:18
Speaker 12: very popular with students who go on a run, stopping
25:21
Speaker 12: off at a number of different pubs, often about half
25:23
Speaker 12: a dozen different pubs on the way and often four sponsorships.
25:27
Speaker 12: So obviously the police investigate in the motive and indeed
25:30
Speaker 12: questioning the suspected attack.
25:32
Speaker 2: Gavin Marks and Spencer they had that cyber attech last
25:36
Speaker 2: week in but they're still struggling to sort of get
25:38
Speaker 2: to grips with that.
25:40
Speaker 12: Yeah, very much so, Ryan So. Marks and Spencer the
25:42
Speaker 12: absolute sort of the stalwater of the high street in
25:46
Speaker 12: the UK selling food and clothing. It shares fell dramatically
25:50
Speaker 12: by five percent. They have picked up a little bit
25:53
Speaker 12: after it was announced they've been subjected to a cyber incident,
25:57
Speaker 12: and it really is struggling a week on to get
26:00
Speaker 12: back to normal. Indeed, it is now saying that it
26:04
Speaker 12: has had to cancel its Click and Collect was struggling
26:07
Speaker 12: as well with people using contactless payments as well as
26:11
Speaker 12: those paying with gift cards. Now things have pretty much
26:14
Speaker 12: got back a lot of the way, but I'm afraid
26:16
Speaker 12: since it's suspended online ordering, Marks and Spencer's has been
26:19
Speaker 12: responding to social media posts advisor customers that these problems
26:23
Speaker 12: still persist. The share market has gone down five percent
26:28
Speaker 12: following this, as I said, but they have picked up
26:30
Speaker 12: a bit. No news on what that cyber attack actually
26:34
Speaker 12: is or what it entailed. It's not the big first
26:37
Speaker 12: of the big high street giants to fall foul of this.
26:39
Speaker 12: Morrison's another one just before Christmas, serious it problems at
26:44
Speaker 12: Barkley's Bank as well, and then in February several banks,
26:48
Speaker 12: notably Lloyd's Banking, facing outages leaving businesses unable to pay staff,
26:53
Speaker 12: all because of cyber attacks and certainly a great problem
26:57
Speaker 12: for big businesses here, plus the fact they may even
26:59
Speaker 12: be by the regulator for data and keeping data if
27:05
Speaker 12: it was deemed that they have not been holding it securely.
27:08
Speaker 2: Gavin, and you are Liverpool man. I'm just looking at
27:10
Speaker 2: a live feed from Sky News and it's a sea
27:12
Speaker 2: of red. They are very excited to be winning the
27:15
Speaker 2: Premier League.
27:18
Speaker 12: I'm a Tottenham fan.
27:19
Speaker 2: No good for me. Oh no, We'll leave it there, Gavin.
27:23
Speaker 2: Thank you. Kevin Gray our UK you have correspondent. It
27:26
Speaker 2: is twelve minutes away from six Bridge Caple. Politics well
27:30
Speaker 2: underway now that Pope Francis has been laid to rest
27:33
Speaker 2: your purists, they argue the Vatican's gone but woke. Too
27:37
Speaker 2: much focus on inclusion and diversity, not enough talk about
27:40
Speaker 2: the Bible and how it can be quite well strict
27:43
Speaker 2: actually on a lot of social stuff. The conclave must
27:46
Speaker 2: start by May tenth, at the latest. Our Rome correspondent
27:49
Speaker 2: Joe McKenna is at the Vatican for Us this morning. Joe,
27:53
Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Hello Ryan, how are you very well?
27:57
Speaker 2: Thank you and nice to have you Vatican for us.
28:01
Speaker 2: So this is all starting to get a bit political.
28:03
Speaker 2: What actually happens now and when does the conclave have
28:07
Speaker 2: to start?
28:09
Speaker 13: Well, the politics, of course is fascinating. It's very medieval.
28:14
Speaker 13: After the pope's death, the conclave has to start within
28:18
Speaker 13: fifteen to two days, so we're expecting that to get underway,
28:22
Speaker 13: probably Monday or Tuesday next week.
28:26
Speaker 2: What do you rate the chances of them going even
28:28
Speaker 2: more progressive than Francis was, or do you think it's
28:31
Speaker 2: going to go the other way and Elena bit more conservative.
28:36
Speaker 13: Look, it's an interesting time and the conservatives were very angry,
28:40
Speaker 13: very upset with Pope Francis, even though I was so
28:43
Speaker 13: loved and so popular. You're right, as you said earlier,
28:47
Speaker 13: there was a concern that he was too ambiguous on
28:50
Speaker 13: things like gay rights and the role of women in
28:53
Speaker 13: the church, and whether divorces should be allowed to have communion.
28:57
Speaker 13: They didn't like it. They didn't like him being buried
29:02
Speaker 13: in a very simple coffin. They didn't like his informality.
29:05
Speaker 13: They didn't like the fact that he gave up all
29:08
Speaker 13: the traditional robes and the papal apartment and decided to
29:12
Speaker 13: live out the back in a little tiny room in
29:14
Speaker 13: the cars of Santa Mata. So these conservatives are pushing
29:19
Speaker 13: back big time, and there is a lot of toing
29:21
Speaker 13: and frowing going on behind the scenes right now. The
29:24
Speaker 13: other thing that's interesting. I ran into a Vatican insider
29:28
Speaker 13: last night who had a senior position no longer, and
29:31
Speaker 13: he told me off the record, the Italians want to
29:34
Speaker 13: see a European pope. They want to see an Italian pope.
29:37
Speaker 13: And even though the Italians don't have a huge number
29:41
Speaker 13: in terms of the total electors, there are only about
29:44
Speaker 13: sixteen Italians, he said, they have enormous influence. They see
29:48
Speaker 13: it as a family business, and they didn't like the
29:51
Speaker 13: fact that some outsider came in from Argentina and shook
29:53
Speaker 13: things up.
29:55
Speaker 2: That's me jo. It's interesting because there's a hundred I mean,
29:59
Speaker 2: just the family business and Italian.
30:03
Speaker 14: It's a dangerous combination.
30:05
Speaker 2: Dangerous combination. Anyway, the one hundred and thirty cardinals who
30:09
Speaker 2: were there, I was reading yesterday that you know. Obviously,
30:12
Speaker 2: France has appointed a lot of them, and a lot
30:14
Speaker 2: of them don't you know each other. They've never meet
30:16
Speaker 2: each other before. They're from far flowing parts of the world.
30:19
Speaker 2: This is almost going to be like the first day
30:21
Speaker 2: of school when they get together.
30:24
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a very good way of putting it. They've
30:25
Speaker 13: had a couple of meetings already, but things will really
30:29
Speaker 13: crank up tomorrow. They've got this old fashioned thing where
30:32
Speaker 13: they don't really like to say too much before the
30:35
Speaker 13: funeral itself, but things will really crank up. And as
30:40
Speaker 13: you said, you know, there are a lot of newcomers.
30:42
Speaker 13: They're being sworn in before they have what's called these
30:45
Speaker 13: congregations where it's really an opportunity for the players to
30:51
Speaker 13: showcase what their papacy would be like. And that's what
30:55
Speaker 13: really happened with Pope Francis when he gave a speech
30:59
Speaker 13: way back in twenty thirteen. It really moved the cardinals
31:02
Speaker 13: to get behind him because he had a vision for
31:05
Speaker 13: how he wanted to take the church. Not all of
31:07
Speaker 13: them were happy with what happened, but that's really what
31:10
Speaker 13: happened behind closed doors. And so we've had some of
31:14
Speaker 13: the cardinals meeting, not all of them there that will
31:17
Speaker 13: step up tomorrow. And don't forget the cardinals that cannot
31:21
Speaker 13: vote in the conclave also take part in these meetings.
31:25
Speaker 13: So you've got the elderly cardinals over the age of
31:28
Speaker 13: eighty who will also have some influence on the newcomers
31:31
Speaker 13: in terms of the direction of the conclave.
31:34
Speaker 2: Joe, thank you very much for that. Great to have
31:35
Speaker 2: you on the show. As always, Joe mckinna, our Rome
31:37
Speaker 2: correspondent at the Vatican with the Inside Goths. It's eight
31:41
Speaker 2: to Sex News Talk Zip be Mike next.
31:44
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
31:47
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room, Make Your Property
31:51
Speaker 1: Surgeon Symbol News Talks It.
31:53
Speaker 2: Sex to Sex News Talks said, be quick seeing in
31:55
Speaker 2: pul for you this morning. Trump support taking a hat
31:58
Speaker 2: forty percent approval rate. That's the lowest for any newly
32:02
Speaker 2: elected president in their first one hundred days since Eisenhower.
32:06
Speaker 2: It's down four points for Trump since March and down
32:09
Speaker 2: seven points since February. But I mean, you know, he
32:13
Speaker 2: is shaking things up, isn't he. And human beings don't
32:16
Speaker 2: like change, and he's making a lot of changes. There
32:18
Speaker 2: is nothing stable about his first one hundred days. That's
32:21
Speaker 2: for sure, five to six now, and Mike see him,
32:24
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike, very good morning.
32:25
Speaker 14: I don't think he cares either. No, it's in the
32:27
Speaker 14: beauty of the American system, isn't it. Once you get
32:29
Speaker 14: your second term, it's over and you can do whatever
32:31
Speaker 14: you want pretty much.
32:32
Speaker 2: And well, I mean he's got to worry about the
32:34
Speaker 2: midterms next.
32:35
Speaker 14: Yeah, he does it, but that'll that will be his undoing,
32:38
Speaker 14: is my prediction. Having said that, he is claiming also
32:42
Speaker 14: this morning that he's done two hundred trade deals. I
32:46
Speaker 14: saw that, and in the ensuing couple of days since
32:49
Speaker 14: he's announced the TWIFF performs.
32:50
Speaker 2: Two hundreds of nonsense.
32:52
Speaker 14: Well, there's that's more deals than there are countries.
32:54
Speaker 2: I mean, unless it's I don't know anyone to wake that.
32:58
Speaker 2: I don't know I had.
32:59
Speaker 14: Yeah, so you can have more than one deal with
33:01
Speaker 14: the country. I don't know how that. I don't know
33:02
Speaker 14: how that works.
33:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's probably got an idea of what
33:05
