Speaker 2: the White House. So far, so tame with Trump.
1:15
Speaker 6: His party was losing by a lot and he ended
1:18
Speaker 6: up winning, so I really want to congratulate him. Probably
1:21
Speaker 6: one of the greatest comebacks in the history of politics,
1:24
Speaker 6: maybe even greater than mine.
1:27
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the fireside chat after the meeting. That's
1:32
Speaker 2: the deuce that I want. So we'll see if that

Speaker 2: three years of talks, the UK and India have agreed
1:41
Speaker 2: to a trade deal will make it easier for firms
1:43
Speaker 2: to export whiskey, cars, other products that India cut taxes
1:47
Speaker 2: on Indian's clothing and football we're exports.
1:51
Speaker 7: This is the biggest trade deal that we the UK
1:54
Speaker 7: have done since we left the EU, and it's the
1:57
Speaker 7: most ambitious trade deal for India ever done.
2:02
Speaker 2: Now we've had the met gala in New York City
2:04
Speaker 2: yesterday where all the rich liberal elite pay I think
2:07
Speaker 2: it's seventy five thousand dollars to dress up nicely and
2:11
Speaker 2: go to a ball. The theme this year was tailoring
2:14
Speaker 2: black style and Rhianna with her third pregnancy and her
2:18
Speaker 2: baby bump stole the show.
2:20
Speaker 8: She was wearing a kind of deconstructed suit that was
2:23
Speaker 8: custom Mark Jacobs. She's always one to turn off to
2:26
Speaker 8: the mat gala and make us black.
2:29
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early
2:32
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room make your property
2:36
Speaker 1: search in simple news talk.
2:38
Speaker 2: Say nine the number to text. You've got to hand
2:41
Speaker 2: it to the Brits this morning. They've signed the mother
2:44
Speaker 2: of all trade deals with India. India, of course, is
2:46
Speaker 2: a behemoth one point four billion consumers, growing middle class,
2:51
Speaker 2: all of that good stuff. Mody and Starmer have signed
2:54
Speaker 2: the thing. It's done. It's a done deal. The upshot
2:58
Speaker 2: ten billion dollars a year in GDP a billion in
3:01
Speaker 2: tariffs gone, just like that. This is the big post
3:05
Speaker 2: Brexit prize for them, three years in the making. And
3:08
Speaker 2: as the British negotiators move out of their Deli hotels,
3:12
Speaker 2: our negotiator is of course of moving in there. What's
3:14
Speaker 2: interesting here for us is what's not included in the
3:18
Speaker 2: British deal. Dairy. Dairy is our golden goose, but they
3:23
Speaker 2: don't want to flood their own producers. The Indians have
3:26
Speaker 2: cut tariff on ninety percent of their products. For the British.
3:30
Speaker 2: But dairy ain't one and that's not a good thing
3:33
Speaker 2: for us. Not a great sign. Lamb on the other hand,
3:35
Speaker 2: is in which is good that side? This is a
3:39
Speaker 2: great deal. It means Modi's in the mood for more
3:42
Speaker 2: FTAs Trump may have helped push that along. Luxtance called
3:47
Speaker 2: Target India is the right one. It's time to get
3:50
Speaker 2: down to business. Ryan Bred John News Talks There be
3:53
Speaker 2: just gone ten minutes after five. The phone ban, my
3:58
Speaker 2: viewer is if we are to believe that phones are
4:01
Speaker 2: ruining the minds of children, that it's turning them into depressed,
4:05
Speaker 2: suicidal nutbars, then and you don't let them drink, you
4:11
Speaker 2: don't let them smoke, you don't let them have sex
4:14
Speaker 2: with one another. Why would you give them a what
4:18
Speaker 2: is essentially a mental health destroyer in the form of
4:23
Speaker 2: an iPhone or a smartphone or whatever you want to
4:25
Speaker 2: call it. We're going to talk to a psychologist on
4:28
Speaker 2: this next.
4:30
Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
4:35
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and One Roof to make your property search simple.
4:39
Speaker 2: You talk said, be good morning. It is thirteen minutes
4:42
Speaker 2: after five. Scott Besson, who's the Treasury Sectary over in
4:45
Speaker 2: the United States, he's been appearing before the House Appropriation Subcommittee.
4:50
Speaker 2: That sounds boring to begin with, but what he said
4:52
Speaker 2: was quite interesting. He said on trade, we could have
4:55
Speaker 2: deals quote within weeks with some of our biggest trading
4:59
Speaker 2: partners in This is what he had to say about China.
5:02
Speaker 7: I think we could see substantial progress in the coming weeks.
5:06
Speaker 2: We'll see so potential progress with China, which would basically
5:10
Speaker 2: mean sitting down and actually opening your mails and talking
5:13
Speaker 2: within weeks and potentially deals signed, deals with big trading
5:18
Speaker 2: partners within How does this sound like fanciful to you?
5:21
Speaker 2: It does a little bit to me. But fingers crossed
5:25
Speaker 2: thirteen after five Bryan Bridge, NAT's a putting forward a
5:29
Speaker 2: member's bill that banns social media for under sixteen year olds.
5:32
Speaker 2: The TOOKI tookimp Katherine Web's bill would put responsibility of
5:36
Speaker 2: age verification on the social media company, so that's their job.
5:41
Speaker 2: The idea is supported by the Prime Minister, but ACT
5:43
Speaker 2: doesn't like it. Nathan Wallace's parenting expert with us this morning. Nathan,
5:46
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning, Ryan, how are you mate? Very good?
5:49
Speaker 2: Thank you great to have you on the show. Now
5:51
Speaker 2: to phones, have we established that phones make kids depressed
5:55
Speaker 2: and mess with their heads and turns them into you nutbars?
6:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, the short answer is year we have. In the
6:02
Speaker 8: last like three years, the research has really moved from
6:05
Speaker 8: being correlative, where those we know that they started to
6:09
Speaker 8: get anxiety and depression rates started to go up at
6:11
Speaker 8: the same time as kids got cell phones. But that's
6:13
Speaker 8: not the same as causative research that actually shows us
6:15
Speaker 8: causing it, whereas now there's clear evidence that shows that
6:18
Speaker 8: social media is actually causing the depression and anxiety.
6:21
Speaker 2: Okay, so tick, we do know that we can say
6:24
Speaker 2: that definitively alcohol does bad things to them, drugs does
6:28
Speaker 2: be cigarettes is bad for your health. We don't let
6:30
Speaker 2: them do that, so should really? Yeah, so what are
6:33
Speaker 2: we doing?
6:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's my way of thinking too. I think it's
6:36
Speaker 8: been a social experiment because we didn't know it was bad.
6:38
Speaker 8: It's going back to those old days when they didn't
6:40
Speaker 8: know cigarette smoking was bad, so you know, doctors recommend
6:43
Speaker 8: it and stuff. But then that changed, and I think
6:45
Speaker 8: it's a similar situation. We now know, oh whoops, that's
6:48
Speaker 8: way worse than we thought, way worse than were comprehended,
6:51
Speaker 8: And now we need to, you know, be the responsible
6:53
Speaker 8: parents and take the steps to protect our kids from it.
6:56
Speaker 2: How do you do that? Though? If a kid gets drunk,
6:58
Speaker 2: you can tell because they're stumbling around the house, they
7:01
Speaker 2: smell like cigarettes. How do you tell what's that been
7:03
Speaker 2: using a phone?
7:05
Speaker 8: I think there is no hard, fast way that you
7:08
Speaker 8: can always tell. I mean, there's all the obvious parenting
7:10
Speaker 8: things of restricting it, but I think just by making
7:13
Speaker 8: it that they're not supposed to have one for the
7:15
Speaker 8: age of sixteen, it's just going to take it out
7:16
Speaker 8: of being the norm and instead of every other kid
7:19
Speaker 8: at score having one, And it just sends the message
7:22
Speaker 8: that it is like cigarettes and alcohol. It's something we
7:24
Speaker 8: need to monitor because it's not just teenagers. It's you know,
7:27
Speaker 8: there's an issue with being on screens right from the
7:29
Speaker 8: time you're a child. You know, the World Health Organization
7:31
Speaker 8: says children under two shouldn't look at screens at all.
7:34
Speaker 8: You know, the appropriate number of minutes per day they
7:36
Speaker 8: can look at a screen without doing damage as zero.
7:38
Speaker 8: And then we know it has big impacts on you know,
7:41
Speaker 8: if you give your four year old the cell phone
7:44
Speaker 8: or the iPad as a reward, they never want any
7:46
Speaker 8: other reward after that, it's all the creativity that you know,
7:49
Speaker 8: sand castle building, the tree huts they're making and stuff.
7:52
Speaker 8: That stuff doesn't tend to happen because all they want
7:54
Speaker 8: to do is go online and you know, go and
7:56
Speaker 8: have the screen in front of them. It's because it
7:58
Speaker 8: gives so much dopamine to the brain. It's like alcohol,
8:00
Speaker 8: does you know, Alcohol gives you a great big burst
8:02
Speaker 8: of diapamat and to feel good stuff.
8:04
Speaker 2: But at least at least have some fun though.
8:08
Speaker 8: Yeah.
8:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at least in social at least it's actually social,
8:12
Speaker 2: whereas this is not the it's the antithesis of it. Nathan,
8:16
Speaker 2: really appreciate you coming on the show. If I let
8:18
Speaker 2: you talk any longer, I'm going to get more depressed. God,
8:21
Speaker 2: isn't that frightening? Nathan Wallace, parenting expert with us this morning,
8:24
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Sixteen after five, Ryan, like Winston said,
8:27
Speaker 2: don't panic and sign a free trade deal with India.
8:31
Speaker 2: Keep your d line straight and moving up right. The
8:34
Speaker 2: roller coaster Warriors Asia is our next market. This is
8:37
Speaker 2: from one of our listeners this morning. You're on news
8:40
Speaker 2: Talk said, be unemployment data out today. We'll tell you
8:42
Speaker 2: all about it.
8:42
Speaker 1: Next News and Views you trust to start your day
8:46
Speaker 1: is Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room Make
8:50
Speaker 1: your property search simple.
8:52
Speaker 2: You talk sivy five nine team. We'll get to Mark
8:55
Speaker 2: Smith on the unemployment numbers out today in just a second.
8:57
Speaker 2: We had numbers out yesterday though. In New Zealand can
9:00
Speaker 2: affirming what we all know is true. Teslas aren't cool anymore.
9:05
Speaker 2: They're not. Sales revenue down sixty nine percent last year
9:09
Speaker 2: to one hundred and seven million dollars. This is just
9:10
Speaker 2: for New Zealand because you used to see your Herne
9:13
Speaker 2: Bay housewives, you know, your Ghosh Caviat types zipping around
9:18
Speaker 2: town in them, albeit botox up to the dryballs and plastic.
9:22
Speaker 2: But saving the planet with this, you know, ninety thousand
9:26
Speaker 2: dollars hanker metal that they've shipped from the other side
9:28
Speaker 2: of the world. I never thought they were that cool personally,
9:32
Speaker 2: just the look of them. I don't think this is
9:35
Speaker 2: an Elon Musk thing. People don't care about that. Here.
9:38
Speaker 2: The cars are just a bit ugly now. They're really round,
9:42
Speaker 2: They're quite small. They look like ubers because a lot
9:45
Speaker 2: of Uber drivers have got them now, and that makes
9:47
Speaker 2: things uncool. They also look a little bit like did
9:50
Speaker 2: anyone watch that movie with Halle Berry and in the
9:53
Speaker 2: nineties called Race the Sun? Remember, And they had an
9:56
Speaker 2: EV and it had a big solar panel on the
9:59
Speaker 2: top it. Anyway, they sort of remind me of that. Now, anyway,
10:02
Speaker 2: your posters and your byds from China are taking over.
10:06
Speaker 2: It's twenty after five ran unemployment number out today. Reserve
10:10
Speaker 2: Bank expecting an increase from five point one to five
10:14
Speaker 2: point two. That's equal to peak lockdown numbers. Mark Smith
10:18
Speaker 2: is ASB senior economist with US Mark.
10:20
Speaker 9: Good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
10:22
Speaker 2: So you're siding with the Reserve Bank, right, Yeah.
10:26
Speaker 9: We're at five point two, but it can easily be
10:28
Speaker 9: higher than that.
10:30
Speaker 2: Does it matter?
10:32
Speaker 9: It does matter. What it really shows is that the
10:34
Speaker 9: economy has gone through a very difficult period. So over
10:38
Speaker 9: the last twelve months or so, the economy on net
10:40
Speaker 9: has lost more than thirty thousand jobs. Now, a lot
10:44
Speaker 9: of those job losses have been concentrated for the very young,
10:47
Speaker 9: those just joining the labor force, and also for some
10:50
Speaker 9: secrets like construction and the wider good sector. So yes,
10:53
Speaker 9: it does matter for those people.
10:54
Speaker 2: When do you see because the economists are split on
10:57
Speaker 2: when it peaks. When do you think it will peak?
11:00
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a bigger known. There's a lot of factor's
11:02
Speaker 9: determining the unemployment rates. Now, we're hoping that that rate
11:06
Speaker 9: will start moving low by the end of the year.
11:08
Speaker 9: But what's been happening is recently, with a lot of
11:11
Speaker 9: trade disruptions and concerns about the economy, we actually see
11:15
Speaker 9: firms hold back on hiring, and if anything, that unemployment
11:18
Speaker 9: rate could get a little bit higher.
11:19
Speaker 2: Still, we're still not even seeing job I mean, we're
11:22
Speaker 2: not that they have been increasing, but we're not seeing
11:25
Speaker 2: job eds go boom yet, either, are we.
11:28
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, that's right. They are still well down on
11:31
Speaker 9: where that were a while or so ago. Now we're
11:33
Speaker 9: hoping to see the economy start to sort of sort
11:36
Speaker 9: of ride itself towards in the year. But what could happen, though,
11:39
Speaker 9: is if the economy remains weak for longer than hoped,
11:43
Speaker 9: we'd actually see the Reserve Bank proviable stimulus than what
11:46
Speaker 9: they're previously indicated. If anything, the official cash rate at
11:50
Speaker 9: full below three percent for the end of the year.
11:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you might be right there.
11:55
Speaker 5: Now.
11:56
Speaker 2: Supply demand obviously for labor effects the price you pay
11:58
Speaker 2: for it, So don't expect the big pay rise this year.
12:02
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right. If an you think labor cost or
12:05
Speaker 9: wage growth will be the last and at least three years.
12:07
Speaker 9: And what we're really seeing is putty sharp accelerations and
12:11
Speaker 9: those wage increases. So the power, if you like, the
12:14
Speaker 9: Biden power is still firmly in favor employers, and what
12:18
Speaker 9: they're doing is making you sure that with inflation falling,
12:22
Speaker 9: the need for wage increases. Certainly not there.
12:25
Speaker 2: Appreciate your thoughts. Mark Mark Smith asb senior economists with
12:28
Speaker 2: us this Morning, Bite and nearly twenty two minutes half
12:30
Speaker 2: to five, Trevor says, Ryan vaping is a hell of
12:34
Speaker 2: a lot more dangerous than a cell phone in the
12:36
Speaker 2: hands of an under sixteen year old. The thing about this,
12:39
Speaker 2: and you know this is a member's bill, not a
12:41
Speaker 2: government bill. I'll talk about that later on in the show.
12:43
Speaker 2: But if you're a parent and you don't want your
12:47
Speaker 2: under sixteen year old to vape, to use a phone,
12:51
Speaker 2: to have sex with their boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever,
12:55
Speaker 2: you're the parent, do you need a law to tell
12:59
Speaker 2: you that your kids not allowed on social media? In
13:02
Speaker 2: order to enforce that rule? And if you do what's
13:06
Speaker 2: happened to parents? Because if my mum told me I
13:10
Speaker 2: wasn't allowed to do something, or I'll get dad, you know,
13:14
Speaker 2: I'll get dad. I just you didn't do it, or
13:17
Speaker 2: you did it very very sneakily. You know, you didn't
13:20
Speaker 2: do it in front of them. What's happened to parents?
13:22
Speaker 2: Nine nine twenty three after five, News Talk said B,
13:26
Speaker 2: we'll have some more. Well, we should go to our
13:28
Speaker 2: reporters all around the country. After news We're also going
13:30
Speaker 2: to talk to a union about the pay equity claims.
13:33
Speaker 2: That's all coming before six.
13:35
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
13:39
Speaker 1: News TALKSB.
13:42
Speaker 2: News Talks B twenty six minutes after five. Bad news
13:45
Speaker 2: this morning for any productive, hard working, busy members of
13:50
Speaker 2: our society. In other words, all of you listening to
13:52
Speaker 2: the show this morning, Good morning. The climate protesters who
13:56
Speaker 2: brought Wellington to its knees, remember that rush our traffic
13:59
Speaker 2: to a stand still, Well, they're going to be back
14:02
Speaker 2: at it again soon. Mark my words. You will see
14:06
Speaker 2: more idiots gluing themselves to the motorways. You'll see the
14:08
Speaker 2: map sailing down Mount Victoria, hanging signs from the gantries,
14:12
Speaker 2: the roads closed, the police doing not what they should be.
14:17
Speaker 2: Basically chaos to start your day. Why the Crown has
14:20
Speaker 2: walked away from, abandoned the prosecution of more than twenty
14:25
Speaker 2: of these guys over the protests in Wellington. These guys
14:28
Speaker 2: are now off on their merry little way. They're from
14:32
Speaker 2: the Restore Passenger Rail group, remember them. Some were awaiting
14:36
Speaker 2: retrial after juries. Couldn't come to a verdict on whether
14:39
Speaker 2: they endangered transport. Hello, anyway, there's lots of hands that
14:43
Speaker 2: should be in cuffs that will soon be covered and
14:46
Speaker 2: glue again. How do we know this? They told us.
14:49
Speaker 2: One of the nutters says he hopes the crown decision
14:52
Speaker 2: sets a precedent that protesters won't be prosecuted for future
14:57
Speaker 2: climate change activism. We had numpties sleeping in coal carts
15:02
Speaker 2: trying to shut down the Stockton mine on the West
15:05
Speaker 2: Coast over easter. Dangerous stuff, expensive stuff. I remember a
15:10
Speaker 2: woman stuck in traffic on State Highway one, missing her
15:12
Speaker 2: chemotherapy appointment at hospital because of these guys. Their point,
15:18
Speaker 2: emissions are bad for the climate, but tens of thousands
15:22
Speaker 2: of cars sitting idle stuck in traffic while some climate
15:26
Speaker 2: hero gets us five seconds of TikTok fame. Ab sailing
15:29
Speaker 2: onto a state highway would surely, if anything, make those
15:32
Speaker 2: emissions worse. Also, did you know they hire gas guzzling
15:37
Speaker 2: diesel vans to ferry them to and from their stunts. Yeah,
15:41
Speaker 2: I found that out after the fact. Hypocritical losers. Even
15:45
Speaker 2: Torri Farno said they were dumb. Torri Farno, these people
15:50
Speaker 2: are not about climate solutions, They're about themselves. I'm all
15:53
Speaker 2: for constructive discussion on how our small country can play
15:57
Speaker 2: its part. But every time I see an ambulance stuck
16:01
Speaker 2: in traffic chalk just because of some unnecessary attention seeker
16:05
Speaker 2: like this, that makes me want to let the planet
16:07
Speaker 2: burn just despite them. Sadly, the rest of us can
16:11
Speaker 2: look forward to dealing with much more of this in
16:13
Speaker 2: the months and years ahead. Brian Bridge, your own News Talk,
16:19
Speaker 2: twenty eight minutes after five. There was an interesting story yesterday.
16:24
Speaker 2: This is from Auckland and it's slightly related because it's
16:27
Speaker 2: it's wildlife, so this is more conservation. But there's a
16:30
Speaker 2: wildlife hospital that says the public light that we have
16:33
Speaker 2: in our cities. So yeah, Harbor Bridge which fell golf
16:36
Speaker 2: put up by the way, so how many birds is fell?
16:38
Speaker 2: Golf killed? But skytower and your harbor Bridge lights are
16:43
Speaker 2: too bright, confusing the birds They're dying, either falling out
16:48
Speaker 2: of the sky or flying into them or whatever. So
16:50
Speaker 2: how do we how do we do? How do we
16:52
Speaker 2: deal with that? Turn the lights off? I mean, how
16:56
Speaker 2: do I how are we to get around? And what
16:58
Speaker 2: sort of city will we look about? What we look
17:00
Speaker 2: like to tourists are going to Sydney and the harbor
17:04
Speaker 2: Bridge is just off, you know, not exactly sexy, is it? Anyway?
17:10
Speaker 2: You can get to the UK and our reporters after
17:13
Speaker 2: news here on us Talk SIPB skill you where.
17:23
Speaker 4: You enjo.
17:31
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on early edition with one roof, Make your
17:34
Speaker 1: property search simple. Used talk zibby.
17:43
Speaker 2: Give Morning twenty four minutes away from six year on
17:46
Speaker 2: news Talk cimb Ryan. I don't need a law to
17:49
Speaker 2: tell me how I can and can't parent my kid.
17:51
Speaker 2: I've always said I'd rather have my kid do things
17:53
Speaker 2: in front of me so that they learn the consequences.
17:57
Speaker 2: And if I need to intervene, I can intervene. Thing
18:00
Speaker 2: sounds sensible, right, If I had a kid, they'd have
18:03
Speaker 2: a football in their hand, not a phone. I think
18:06
Speaker 2: it's all very well to say that, but actually it
18:08
Speaker 2: must be quite difficult to keep them away from phones.
18:11
Speaker 2: Otherwise so many kids wouldn't be on them. Surely that
18:14
Speaker 2: would be the logic. Twenty three minutes away from six
18:17
Speaker 2: News Talk said the conclave. So we should know by
18:20
Speaker 2: I think by the weekend. End of the weekend, we
18:22
Speaker 2: should know, based on past experience, who the new popers.
18:26
Speaker 2: But how do you stop it leaking in the meantime,
18:29
Speaker 2: because the conclave kicks off tomorrow. How do you stop
18:33
Speaker 2: that leaking? In the modern age when every cardinal and
18:35
Speaker 2: this dog has got a smartphone, well, a couple of things.
18:39
Speaker 2: So there's one hundred and thirty three cardinals, and then
18:41
Speaker 2: you've got two doctors, you've got some chefs, and you've
18:44
Speaker 2: got a bunch of nuns. This sounds like the start
18:47
Speaker 2: of a bad joke. They all go into the well.
18:51
Speaker 2: There's a chapel, obviously, but then there's two guest houses.
18:54
Speaker 2: So how do they stop it from leaking? Will they
18:56
Speaker 2: sweep it for microphones? They sweep it for bugs. They
19:00
Speaker 2: have electronic jammers to make sure that phone and Wi
19:03
Speaker 2: Fi signals are not getting in or out. You have to,
19:07
Speaker 2: including all of the cardinals, surrender all electronic devices when
19:11
Speaker 2: you go in there. That's your phone, your tablet, you're
19:12
Speaker 2: smart watch. No TVs in there, no newspapers, no radio
19:17
Speaker 2: and so Thursday starts. Probably by the weekend we will
19:21
Speaker 2: know unless somebody gets a sneaky little tweet out first
19:26
Speaker 2: Bridge twenty two away from six News talks there be
19:28
Speaker 2: color Procter and needing for us this morning. Culum, you're
19:31
Speaker 2: missed out on Homegrown.
19:34
Speaker 10: Yeah, big disappointment here I at this news. There's major
19:37
Speaker 10: hopes that the key We only music event would would
19:42
Speaker 10: be moved to danned And after leaving Wellington after eighteen years,
19:46
Speaker 10: but it's been awarded to Hamilton instead. Sodnedan continuing to
19:50
Speaker 10: struggle to attract major concerts back to the city. Danedan
19:54
Speaker 10: Venues and Forsyth Past Stadium Chief executive Pull Dawn says
19:57
Speaker 10: they put in a bid to try and bring the
19:59
Speaker 10: festival down South. He says though disappointed at this decision,
20:02
Speaker 10: but got good feedback from the event owners who said
20:05
Speaker 10: that Dunedin came very close. It's been two years now
20:09
Speaker 10: since a major concert was announced for Dunedin.
20:11
Speaker 2: How's your weather today, con it's.
20:14
Speaker 10: Fine here, evening, high cloud increasing northerast developing the heights
20:17
Speaker 10: today twenty brilliant.
20:18
Speaker 2: Let's get a clear and christ Church clear, good morning.
20:21
Speaker 11: Good morning.
20:21
Speaker 2: We had a big cocaine.
20:23
Speaker 11: Bust there, yes, well, a massive cocaine bust. In fact,
20:26
Speaker 11: nine million dollars worth of the drug has been stopped
20:29
Speaker 11: from entering christ Church City. Customs actually seized the twenty
20:33
Speaker 11: five kilograms of class A drug at Littleton Port back
20:37
Speaker 11: in March. That then prompted a search which went on
20:40
Speaker 11: across the country for six weeks. There were numerous different
20:44
Speaker 11: search warrants, conductors and arrests made of four men in
20:48
Speaker 11: christ Church, Wellington, Totonga and Auckland. The least say this
20:51
Speaker 11: seizure equates to more than two hundred and fifty thousand
20:54
Speaker 11: doses of cocaine. They say crime groups are using every
20:58
Speaker 11: method possible to exploit vulnerabilities within supply chains.
21:02
Speaker 2: How's your with it today?
21:04
Speaker 9: Clear?
21:04
Speaker 11: Fine aside farm, A bit of fog about this morning,
21:07
Speaker 11: some high cloud this afternoon, northerlys and the high should
21:09
Speaker 11: be nineteen.
21:10
Speaker 2: It certainly might be snowing, will it max Is and
21:13
Speaker 2: Wellington X, Good morning, good morning, Struggling to shake off
21:17
Speaker 2: your crypto outbreak. Not the currency, obviously, no, no, no, thankfully,
21:22
Speaker 2: crypto might be worse. This is the contagious stomach bug cryptosporidiosis,
21:27
Speaker 2: which new cases remain fairly steady in the region eighty
21:30
Speaker 2: one total this year, which apparently is double what it
21:33
Speaker 2: was by the same point in twenty four.
21:36
Speaker 12: Heavily linked to public swimming pool. It's making parents quite
21:38
Speaker 12: nervous to take their kids to the pool. Also at
21:41
Speaker 12: school's early childhood centers. About two thirds of cases have
21:44
Speaker 12: been in the Hut Valley as well. The message remains
21:48
Speaker 12: the same, wash your hands with soap. Any symptoms, just
21:51
Speaker 12: steer clear of the pool altogether. Be cautious, you know,
21:53
Speaker 12: taking your kid to preschool school, nothing wrong with a
21:56
Speaker 12: sick day or two. Adults can catch it as well.
21:58
Speaker 12: No one is safe apparently, yah, just the thought of it.
22:02
Speaker 2: Max.
22:03
Speaker 12: Well, if you read their old story there's there's some
22:06
Speaker 12: quite visceral description of the symptoms, so maybe post breakfast
22:10
Speaker 12: i'd recommend.
22:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and especially in a public pool as well.
22:15
Speaker 2: You know, my mom always used to say, what are
22:17
Speaker 2: the first three letters of pool?
22:20
Speaker 12: They're certainly floating.
22:21
Speaker 2: Around Hey, what's your weather like today?
22:23
Speaker 12: Max cloudy periods, morning drizzles, stronger. When's seventeen the hey Central, We.
22:28
Speaker 2: Thank you, nevas and never good morning.
22:30
Speaker 3: Wise words from your mother the marriage, Yes, mother, Oh
22:36
Speaker 3: that would be the worst though. It wouldn't go to
22:38
Speaker 3: swimming pools for a while. Though, those public pools you
22:41
Speaker 3: just but.
22:41
Speaker 2: They closed them now they because we had one that
22:44
Speaker 2: we lived in waik and I. We had a public
22:46
Speaker 2: pool just around the corner. So we were there all summer.
22:48
Speaker 2: It was a lovely time, yes, and then someone would
22:51
Speaker 2: do the business. They would close it. An hour later
22:55
Speaker 2: it was open and you think, oh, yeah, it's filled
22:58
Speaker 2: with chlorine and what all the chemicals, but you just think,
23:01
Speaker 2: and they've clean it.
23:02
Speaker 3: But yes, no, I'd wait, not one hour, one year.
23:07
Speaker 2: Hey, here's it. Auckland's falling behind other cities in what regards.
23:10
Speaker 3: Yes, so look it's fifteen years can you believe it,
23:13
Speaker 3: since the creation of the supercity. So there's been this
23:16
Speaker 3: survey and it's showing that the majority agree with priorities
23:19
Speaker 3: such as environmental planning, but only fifty three percent believe
23:23
Speaker 3: the merger delivered. So they're also saying to the survey
23:27
Speaker 3: eighteen percent feel they have influenced over decisions. Now the
23:31
Speaker 3: Committee for Auckland Director, that's Mark Thomas. He says, look,
23:34
Speaker 3: despite some of these good projects such as the City
23:37
Speaker 3: rail Link, things can't continue as they are. He reckons that,
23:40
Speaker 3: you know, Auckland's been overtaken by these global cities. And
23:43
Speaker 3: obviously this has all come in conjunction with this Auckland
23:47
Speaker 3: at fifteen event which is happening, and this is the
23:50
Speaker 3: one that's featuring panelists including you know, Helen Clark and
23:53
Speaker 3: Sir John Key. So all of these things are coming
23:55
Speaker 3: out of that. But they're saying too, Look, we don't
23:58
Speaker 3: want you know, like the smaller two to the smaller councils.
24:02
Speaker 3: This is Mark Thomas, but he's just basically saying it's
24:04
Speaker 3: not reaching the potential.
24:05
Speaker 2: The up our game, you got that's it. Up our game,
24:08
Speaker 2: up our game, and we could be doing worse. Look
24:10
Speaker 2: you know we could. That's true. Hey, Neva, how's our weather?
24:14
Speaker 3: Cloudy? Isolated, light charls.
24:15
Speaker 2: It's still warmers.
24:16
Speaker 3: Come back to those warm temperatures. We've got twenty today.
24:19
Speaker 3: That's the high here in Auckland.
24:20
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Good to see you, Neva. It is seventeen away
24:22
Speaker 2: from six year on news talk c here b if
24:23
Speaker 2: you're just joining US. India has signed a free trade
24:26
Speaker 2: deal with the UK, which is a big boon for
24:30
Speaker 2: the United Kingdom after Brexit. So we'll get to Gavin
24:32
Speaker 2: Gray in the UK.
24:33
Speaker 1: Next International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
24:38
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
24:40
Speaker 2: You talk, there'd be fourteen minutes away from six big
24:43
Speaker 2: deal for the UK, India signing a free trade deal.
24:45
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray, our UK correspondent, Gavin, good morning to you
24:48
Speaker 2: must be celebrations of plenty around number ten. Yep.
24:52
Speaker 4: It's taken three years to get this far. It might
24:55
Speaker 4: be another year before it's actually implemented and comes into force,
24:59
Speaker 4: but there's no doubt there's a great degree of celebration.
25:02
Speaker 4: This wasn't just a fixation of this government but the
25:05
Speaker 4: last government as well, in order to get a trade
25:08
Speaker 4: deal with India over the line. Why we'll already trade
25:11
Speaker 4: between the UK and India totals roughly eighty to ninety
25:15
Speaker 4: billion New Zealand dollars a year, but that is forecast
25:20
Speaker 4: to grow and with this trade deal, the government says
25:23
Speaker 4: you can add another fifty percent onto that easily. The
25:27
Speaker 4: Prime Minister of Indian or Endro Remodi, described the agreement
25:30
Speaker 4: as an historic milestone that's ambitious and mutually beneficial. So
25:35
Speaker 4: in essence, I mean, gosh, what there are lower tariffs
25:38
Speaker 4: coming into the UK for Indian manufactured clothing and footwear,
25:43
Speaker 4: food stuffs including frozen prawns, jewelry, and going the other
25:47
Speaker 4: way from the UK levees will fall on gin and whiskey, aerospace, electrical,
25:53
Speaker 4: medical devices, all sorts of things. But the British government
25:57
Speaker 4: says this is the biggest and most economically significanthigh lateral
26:00
Speaker 4: trade agreement that the UK has science since leaving the
26:03
Speaker 4: European Union in twenty twenty, and are quick to also
26:07
Speaker 4: highlight that it won't mean more visas being given out
26:11
Speaker 4: to Indians, which has been a subject of some debate
26:14
Speaker 4: with the migration levels here in the UK.
26:16
Speaker 2: It's interesting what's not in well, it's as interesting what's
26:20
Speaker 2: not included as what is right as you say, no
26:23
Speaker 2: visas and from a New Zealand perspective, no Lamb yes,
26:27
Speaker 2: but dearie no, and deary is a big one for us.
26:30
Speaker 2: We're over there trying to negotiate at the moment, But
26:32
Speaker 2: that is fantastic news for you guys. Gevin. Now, the
26:35
Speaker 2: cardinals are all going to be locked up from tomorrow, right.
26:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I hear that they are all currently in
26:43
Speaker 4: the Vatican. They've all all arrived safely at Vatican City,
26:46
Speaker 4: and the doors will lock officially tomorrow morning. But I
26:49
Speaker 4: don't think anyone's nipping out for a late dinner this evening.
26:52
Speaker 4: One hundred and thirty three Catholic cardinals in what's probably
26:55
Speaker 4: going to be the most secretive election again of all time.
27:00
Speaker 4: I would guess even the dining room staff who feed
27:03
Speaker 4: the cardinals have had to observe absolute and perpetual secrecy.
27:07
Speaker 4: Two doctors are on hand. Apparently the chapel and the
27:10
Speaker 4: two guesthouses being used for accommodation and the actual conclave
27:14
Speaker 4: are going to be swept for microphones and bugs. Now,
27:18
Speaker 4: all Catholics around the world will say this election is
27:20
Speaker 4: guided by God and not politics. But it is these
27:23
Speaker 4: cardinals who are going to be making a very very
27:26
Speaker 4: big decision. And apparently in the rooms, no televisions, newspapers
27:31
Speaker 4: or radio for the conclave. They can't even open the
27:34
Speaker 4: windows because some of the windows open to the external world.
27:38
Speaker 4: So the start of probably several days process before we
27:41
Speaker 4: eventually find out who is the next pope, and plenty
27:44
Speaker 4: of speculation that could be one cardinal from Asia, and
27:48
Speaker 4: also some speculation it could even be a new pope
27:52
Speaker 4: might come from Africa, but we know nothing yet.
27:56
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray, quite profitiic of you, our UK courts front
27:59
Speaker 2: with us morning, just gone e living away from six
28:02
Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. Govenment's cracking down on pay equity deals. It
28:05
Speaker 2: says they've gotten out of control. They've gone beyond what
28:08
Speaker 2: was originally intended by Parliament. Apples are being compared with oranges.
28:11
Speaker 2: It's not working past it. Second reading these changes last
28:14
Speaker 2: night all under urgency. Third reading today teacher aides are interesting.
28:19
Speaker 2: They are upset because they did a deal in twenty twenty.
28:22
Speaker 2: They had a payout and it had a clause saying
28:25
Speaker 2: there was a review to happen within three years. Now
28:27
Speaker 2: that review will no longer go ahead. Allie Kingy is
28:31
Speaker 2: with the NZDI union with me this morning. Eli, Good morning,
28:35
Speaker 2: mor Dina Ryan, how are you doing good? Thank you?
28:37
Speaker 2: Just quickly explain for us this is not male male
28:41
Speaker 2: teacherrades getting paid more than female teacherrades. This is about
28:44
Speaker 2: comparing a female dominated in profession with male dominated ones.
28:50
Speaker 9: Right, that's right, that's right.
28:53
Speaker 2: And you guys right now, because you obviously had a
28:56
Speaker 2: settlement in twenty twenty, there's anything changed. I mean, how
29:01
Speaker 2: do you know you're your any worse off or more
29:05
Speaker 2: discriminated against now than you were then.
29:08
Speaker 5: We're deliberately built into into pay equity that there will
29:12
Speaker 5: be a review because we didn't want to just win.
29:15
Speaker 5: Have the wen ya we've finally equalized and now that's
29:21
Speaker 5: going to be built in. It ended up being there's
29:27
Speaker 5: there's a difference again between the male dominated industries that
29:33
Speaker 5: we were compared against. The government said they've done quiet
29:38
Speaker 5: review and there isn't and we've had a look at
29:41
Speaker 5: it and we've seen this up to a seventeen percent discrepancy.
29:44
Speaker 2: Seventeen percent. So you recomnez since you did the deal
29:48
Speaker 2: three years four years ago. Well what are we now
29:50
Speaker 2: five years ago that the number has crept to seventeen percent?
29:53
Speaker 9: Again, that's what it's looking like.
29:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you calculate that? Who are you comparing
30:00
Speaker 2: teacher ades too?
30:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the difficulty with what happened yesterday. Is it's like, oh,
30:07
Speaker 5: they've compared these people to these people, and it's completely outrageous.
30:11
Speaker 5: It's not because when we originally did pay equity, we
30:15
Speaker 5: compared it line by line by line against what the
30:20
Speaker 5: male dominated comparators were doing with our knowledge, skills and responsibilities.
30:26
Speaker 2: But you compared teacher ades, did you not? To civil engineers.
30:31
Speaker 5: No, no, we didn't at all. I'm not sure where
30:33
Speaker 5: you got that information from. We ended up being mostly
30:36
Speaker 5: compared to correction stuff.
30:40
Speaker 2: Right, who wear body vests and carry tasers. I mean
30:43
Speaker 2: that they are very different jobs, are they not.
30:46
Speaker 5: No, we looked at things like caring for vulnerable people,
30:50
Speaker 5: about the special needs that it took to care for
30:53
Speaker 5: vulnerable people, about the risks to our own selves and
30:58
Speaker 5: our work plays. But the rerun of it was I'm
31:02
Speaker 5: not sure we got the civil engineers information from That
31:05
Speaker 5: might be from them.
31:08
Speaker 2: It was from the Ministry of Education website. It formed
31:13
Speaker 2: part of your negotiation. That's cool.
31:15
Speaker 9: No, it was the corrects.
31:17
Speaker 2: The corrections officers. I mean, you say you faced a similar,
31:21
Speaker 2: similar amount of danger, But if you're dealing with I
31:24
Speaker 2: don't know, Brenton Tarrant versus a child, I mean it's
31:27
Speaker 2: It's different, isn't it.
31:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, none of that is what would have come
31:31
Speaker 5: from someone who had a full understanding of how pay
31:33
Speaker 5: equity works.
31:35
Speaker 2: But no, no, I'm going off what you just told me.
31:37
Speaker 2: You said you compared safety between corrections offices and teacher ades.
31:43
Speaker 5: No, no, that's not what I'm saying. What's being put
31:46
Speaker 5: forth by the government is that, oh, this thing compared
31:51
Speaker 5: to that thing doesn't make any sense whatsoever. But what
31:54
Speaker 5: we did was develop a really strong understanding of the
31:57
Speaker 5: general areas of responsibility.
32:00
Speaker 9: Between the two groups. And we again, as I said.
32:04
Speaker 5: We did it line by line of.
32:06
Speaker 9: What the responsibilities are.
32:07
Speaker 5: So what's being said now by the government is a
32:10
Speaker 5: very like that's that's what that is, and it's not
32:14
Speaker 5: it's not at all.
32:15
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Ellie, I appreciate you coming on the
32:17
Speaker 2: program this morning. Ali Kingy Teacher Aide and NZDI Support
32:21
Speaker 2: Staff Negotiations Team leader with us. It is seven away
32:24
Speaker 2: from six. News Talk Tob Marke, next.
32:26
Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
32:29
Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make
32:33
Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple, News.
32:35
Speaker 2: Talk ZIB and you're on News Talk, said b. It's
32:38
Speaker 2: just gone five minutes away from six Micas in the studio.
32:40
Speaker 2: We've had Carney from Canada and the White House and
32:43
Speaker 2: the Oval Office meeting with Trump, and I've been on here,
32:45
Speaker 2: so I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the liver
32:47
Speaker 2: Worth watching fireside chat. Well, it's worth watching. It's it's
32:50
Speaker 2: very cordial and it had the potential to be a disaster.
32:54
Speaker 2: Of course, he said they're not for sale, so he
32:57
Speaker 2: got that out of the way. Trump started with a
33:02
Speaker 2: soliloquy of the beauty of the Oval Office and how
33:05
Speaker 2: he's transforming and renovating it. He loves that and he's
33:09
Speaker 2: doing it with love, and it's just the beautiful Oval Office.
33:12
Speaker 2: And he's got seen it though. Do you know, No,
33:16
Speaker 2: it's not like it's no, it isn't there.
33:18
Speaker 5: No, it's not.
33:19
Speaker 7: It's not disgusting. It's I know what you're saying, and
33:21
Speaker 7: I have I have a propensity to agree with you.
33:24
Speaker 2: But I think he's.
33:25
