  Speaker 2: That's child and the Coxlers four Logan Alrich, Matt McDonald,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Tom Murray and Oliver McLain won silver. We've just well
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a split second really behind the United States. And later
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in the show will be chatting to Kerry Williams as
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I said. The United States and Russia have just completed
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: an historic prisoner swap after months of negotiations. President Joe
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Biden spoke about this a short time ago, surrounded by
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: family members of those released.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Are out of Russia earlier today they're flown to Turkey
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and soon there'll be wheels up on their way home
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to see their families.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: One Green card holder and three US citizens are being
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: released as part of the deal, including journalist Evan Gushkevich,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: who was recently sentenced to sixteen years in a Russian
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: prison after being found guilty of espionage back home, Otago
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Regional Council says, addressing the concerns around costs of its
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: proposed land and water plan are going on after the Minister,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Penny Simmons asked for more information. Bed Farmer's Otago reckons
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that it's seen reports suggesting the plan will cost more
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: than one hundred and ten million dollars for just two
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: small Otago towns. Council chair Gretchen Robertson says the council
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: has been working on a draft since twenty twenty and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: has consulted more than fifty groups.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: beds and a playing store News talk zaid.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Be I wonder it's going to cost so much If
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you're if you've been doing a draft report since twenty twenty,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it is twenty twenty four and you've consulted more than
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: fifty groups, that's where the cost is. Surely nine minutes
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: after five. Now that prisoner swap, they say one of
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the biggest in history. Twenty four prisoners in total, four
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: European countries involved, obviously the US and obviously Russia, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it's all happening in Turkey. I'm always fascinated by this.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: We never seem to get a good deal in these things.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So we're getting back, you know, at alleged spies who
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: have been in Russia, one of them a journalist, another
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: an ex marine, which is probably more sounds a bit
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: more dodgy, doesn't it, than a journalist. But what do
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the Russians get. They're getting a just quietly, they're getting
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: an FSB colonel back who was living in Germany and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: killed a guy that he gets to walk free. He
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was serving a nineteen year sentence. It was a critic
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: of the Kremlin, which is hard to say quickly, too
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: early in the morning. He was a critic of the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Kremlin who was killed at a park in Berlin. This
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: FSB colonel kills them life sentence and not home time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: He's on a plane to Turkey as we speak. The
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: sailing has been postponed. This is weather related over in France,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: so that won't happen today. They did have a couple
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of cracks at it. But the really cool news today
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: is that Brook Francis and Lucy Spores the double skulls.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They got gold. We've got the audio from you. They
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: ended up in a battle with the Romanians, but we've
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: got the audio for you. And we're also going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: speak to Kerry Williams, who raced in the same boat
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: as her sister Jackie and one bronze at the Olympics overnight.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But have listened to this gold medal race, Lucy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Spores Brook Francis down to the line.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: That's John Old yeap, So there you go. It bout says,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it doesn't it. It's just gone eleven minutes after five.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: We're back talking about that report into the death of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: baby Malachi.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Next News and Views You Trust to start your day's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Furniture Beds and a Flying Store.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: News Talk said be thirteen minutes after five. Our child
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: protection system hasn't shifted enough since the death of totaling
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a five year old Malachai subsh who died three years ago.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: That's what's come out of the assessment from an independent
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Children's monitor report. It found that no subsequent recommendations have
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: been implemented by the children's agencies, and ordering a Tamadiki
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is being forced to make decisions on staff availability rather
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: than prioritizing a child's safety. Save the Children. New Zealand
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: advocacy director at Jackie Soudi's with me this morning, Jackie,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Ryan Kilder.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So are you surprised to hear this?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am quite surprised hear this. The Dame Karen
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Patassi review was very thorough. It looked at the death
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: of malth Pace sou Best, but not in isolation of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that one death, but across a system wide way of working,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and also reviewed thirty three previous reviews to create a
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: very comprehensive picture about what should change to prevent similar
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: situations happening.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Jackie, this is not the first report to come up
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: with a recommendation like this, to come up with a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: conclusion like this. Is there anywhere in the world that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: does this well, that has a system that actually ensures
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the safety of children.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Well. Unfortunately, systems around the world do struggle. And what
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: systems are trying to do or countries that are trying
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: to improve, it's not about just focusing on the response system,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: it's focusing on the pipeline into that system to try
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to prevent fewer children being in these situations. This is
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: a problem worldwide and this is why they're a minut
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: sterial the first ministerial conference on this globally in Colombia
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: in November later this year.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, what needs to be addressed straight away, well.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: These recommendations made by Darren Dane Karen Passing, we're very
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: very clear and are doable. They need to be put
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: at the forefront. The recommendation for organizations to or agencies
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: to cross share the information and concerns they have is
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: more than twenty years old. This call has been going
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: on for a long time, yet we still fail to
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: do it, and it seems that people are confused about
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: how to do this, about where the privacy issues are
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: more paramount now than the safety of the child or
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: sharing this information, and also who has the mandate to
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: make the call on what information to share. Essentially, what
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: we've got is a system where people are confused about
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: how to identify abuse and harm, whether to make a report,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and if they do, it's confused about what happens next,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: and we need to simplify the system. It needs to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: be very clear that when a happens. B c D
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: will follow.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Because if you're a teacher or a health worker or
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: whatever and you see what you think is abused, there
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: should be no question about privacy and how is that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you tell someone right?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it's not And we're not talking about not
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: reeling back privacy in terms of genuinely talking about this
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: in the community. When making disclosure to health police, well
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: i'm somebody here, privacy should be very tight. And when
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: sharing the information between these agencies, again, it's not gossiping
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: about it in the community. It's sharing it at a
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: very professional level and there should be you know, parameters
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and place around that. But that's what people need to trust.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: They need to be able to trust and when they
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: make that recommendation that report a concern because they're so
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: concerned by what they've seen, that the leads around that
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: will go into action and the right processes will be followed.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Jackie, thank you very much for your time. That's Jackie Soalthy,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Save the Children, New Zealand's advocacy director talking about that
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: report in response to the death of Malachi subsh We're
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: going to talk to one of our medalists overnight from
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the rowing in France just before six o'clock. Next compensation
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: if you were affected by that pylon outage in Northland.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a playing store.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: News Talk Ziby nineteen after five. Good morning, it is Friday.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Welcome to it. Very quickly. The leaderboard. Where are we sitting?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: This is a Paris obviously eleventh as we were at
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: at the moment. We have five medals in total, two golds.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't wasn't able to find out exactly at this
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: point in Tokyo where we were at metal wives, but
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: total in Tokyo we got twentieth, we had seven gold,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: so we were thirteenth. Overall we had twenty metal and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: seven gold. So sitting on five medals total right now,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: two gold and in eleventh position. Not bad. Apparently what
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the Americans have been doing is switching it. You know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you get the more golds you get, the higher up
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the leader boards you go. According to the official Olympics stats,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: what the Americans have been doing is just going based
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: off total medals, which puts them a number one. It
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: has just gone twenty after five. It's been a busy
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: day for our rowers. The Kei we four this is
• 10:28

• 10:40
  Speaker 2: past Romania in a push for the finish line.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Netherlands or Great Britain to the line. It's the Netherlands,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Great Britain and in New Zealand bronze medal.

  Speaker 7: I'm so proud of the team and it's really cool
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: to be a part of.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And it made extra special obviously because you're in the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: boat with your sister Jackie, right yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that is pretty cool too to be lining
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: up with her and to get on the podium.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: How did the race go? How did you find it?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: It was? It was obviously a bit of a sprint
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: at the end there, as it always is.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the race was they said a pretty hot pace
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: the leading crews, so we had a bit of work
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: to get back in the race.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: And then we've sort of always said you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Don't want to end up in a Romanian sprint to
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: the furnish, and that's where we ended up, but.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Where you came out on the right side. So that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: bloody gout.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: It's more than bloody good. It's fantastic. So I was
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: counting your metals up this morning. So you've got a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: gold from the pair at Tokyo, you've got an h sorry,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a silver from the eight and now a bronze and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the four. Have I got that right? That the clean sweep?
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that one of each.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Tell me about your journey to get to these games
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: because you had a year off, right, What was that for?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And did you did you think you would come back?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Was that always the goal?
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: If I'm honest, I didn't think i'd come back.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I needed a break.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: And then I sort of thought that's not like it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: not the ideal time to have a year off and
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: like a qualification year, but a year out from these games,
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I sort of started to be like, I think I
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: want to be there and and I don't know if
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: it's too late, And so I just started training again
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: and here I am.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: So what's the lesson we can all learn from that?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Just don't give up, go back to it, keep going
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: if you've got more in the tank.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. I think it was just I
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: could have.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: I could have I guess said no, it's too late,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: but I thought I'd give it a crack anyway.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: And it's paid off. So and it's been really cool.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I've really enjoyed it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Are your parents there watching you? Girls?
• 13:52

  Speaker 2: Twenty four minutes after five on news Talk said B
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: back in a.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Second separating the fact from the fiction. It's Filly edition
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and Appliant store.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: News Talk said B. It is twenty six after five,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: News Talk said B. Did you see the reaction to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's comments yesterday? If you missed it, this is
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: what he said about Kamala Harris's race.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: She was Indian all the way, and then all of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a sudden, she made a turn and she went she
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: became a black.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Just to be clear, sir, I feel.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Somebody should look into that too.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: When you asked a continue in a very hostile, nasty time.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: What what? Anyway, the media rightly ran the story and
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: it was a big deal. Isn't that exactly though, questioning
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: someone's race? Isn't that exactly what Lawaiti waited he did
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to Karen Traaw. Isn't that exactly what he did the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: other day in parliament when he asked what blood quantum are?
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: You?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Couldn't the same be said of Calvin Davis, saying that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Karen Taw quote lives in a Pucky how world. She's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Maldi by the way, and what about Tapati Maldi. They
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: said Karen Taw should have been raised by Maldi caregivers
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: instead of Pucky how ones. This is a woman who's
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: been through the state care system and claimed that she
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: had disdain for Maori for her people. This week they
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: said she's just a puppet of her party and she
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: was basically left in tears in the hallway TV three.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Was still a person. I'm still a person, and I
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: feel like I'm getting that stripped away from the day
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: by day in this place.
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: I've had enough.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: No apologies from Tapati MARII, no accountability. I just think
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: it's sad. Put the politics to one side for a second.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: There's a woman crying in a hallway. Wouldn't you want
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to just say sorry if what I had said had
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: made you feel that way. Karen Saw is not a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: bad person. You might disagree with her policies, sure, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: also her treatment in the media this week. I think
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: she's been interrogated more about who bullied her than Julie
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and gender ever was about actually bullying. It's a double standard,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: no wonder. She's battling and struggling, and then Chippy turns
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: around and says she's not fit to be a minister.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Gas lighting much. I mean, I hate all these terms.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I hate all these words. Karen Shaw will be fine.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: She's a very strong individual. I guess that just annoys
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: me because if the shoe was on the other foot, imagine,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: just imagine, and where's the Human Rights Commission? Where's their
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: statement on this stuff? You know, you know what I mean,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: There'll be attack dogs on social media. You can you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: can just imagine how it would play out if the
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: shoe was on the other foot. I say, keep doing
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: what you're doing, Karen Shaw. You're hard work and you're
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: conscientious and you can rise above it. Twenty nine after.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Five The news you need this morning and the in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: News Talks.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: It'd be.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Twenty four away from six. You're on news Talks. They'd
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: be with me, Ryan Bridge, Good morning. Three fights going
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: on this morning, which we'll talk about. One is that
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: scrap between all the federal reserves central banks to cut
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: interest rates, and the Bank of England has done that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I'll get to that in a second. Obviously the US
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is held steady, they won't cut till September. But to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the Olympics, this is a gender rowl, but not a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: transgender rowl. Slightly confusing. So there's an Algerian boxer who's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: been deemed to have male chromosomes and they want to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: fight against a women boxer. This is in the sixty
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: six kilo women's division. This person, the Algerian, smacked the Italian.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: The Italian woman cries calls the fight off at last
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: forty six seconds. So apparently the Algerian was disqualified by
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the International Boxing Association in twenty twenty three, but the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Olympics have looser rules. So this Algerian boxer with male
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: chromosomes has beaten a female boxer, if that makes sense
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to you. But it's not a transgender thing. It's an
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: intersex thing. So the Algerian apparently is intersex. You go
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: twenty three minutes away from six o'clock. Also in fighting
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: news this morning, Tesla Boss Elon Musk is going to
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: have a scrap with Venezuela's president. Yep, it's a real thing.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: So you know, this is the guy that's been Maduro
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: who's been accused of stealing the election. This week, Elon
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Musk has apparently been taunting him, sending tweet after tweet
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: after tweet after tweet, a tweet barrage fifty of them, apparently,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and Maduro has replied, do you want to fight me?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk, Let's do it. I'm ready. This is the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: head of state. Elon Musk says, I accept, but I
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: bet he'll chicken out anyway. He doesn't have much credibility,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that is Musk when it comes to scrapping, because remember
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: he challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight any place, anytime.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Turned out that place was nowhere and the time was
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: never twenty two to six Cryan Bridge, Clum Proctors and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Dunedin forest Culum. Good morning, the Otago Regional Council's very
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: expensive land and water plan.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's right. It's very much in the
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: forefront of farmers around our region. The Regional Council's addressing
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: these concerns around costs involved with this plan. Environment Minister
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: Penny Simons is seeking information around the costs. Federated Farmers
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: Otago say they've seen reports suggesting this plan will cost
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: more than one hundred and ten million dollars. That's just
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: for two small Otago towns. Council Chair Gretchen Robertson says, look,
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: they've been working on a draft since twenty twenty. They've
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: consulted more than fifty groups, including Federated Farmers, and she
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: wants to make it clear the plan does not include
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: land based water discharge costs.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Very expensive. How's the weather today, Callum.
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: The odd shower at first fine breaks this afternoon for
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: danedin sou westerlies and ten degrees.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you, and Claire Shewards for us in christ Church
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that ice rink remains closed. Clear.
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: Yes, this is after a thirteen year old student died
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: at a during a school trip earlier this week. Ryan,
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: So this thirteen year old was injured at Alpine Ice
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: on Tuesday after falling Highata Community campus as well as
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: a family member confirmed her death yesterday on social media.
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: The facility has been closed to the public since the incident.
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: On Tuesday, WORKSAFES opened an investigation into the safety procedures
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: and policies in place for risk management. A spokesperson says
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: students should be able to participate safely and family must
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: have confidence their children will be kept safe.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: How's weather today, Claire, Cloudy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: With chowers about Bank's Peninsula south of Westeries. A high
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: of ten here two and then a cold tonight. We're
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: expecting minus five.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's chilli. Thanks clear. Let's got a Max toll
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: on Wellington Max. A University wants to divest itself from
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Israeli government bonds. Let me guess Victoria.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: It is Victoria. It's a foundation holds one hundred and
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: nine million dollars in overall investments. A small fraction of that,
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: about forty seven forty eight thousand dollars, is invested in
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: Israeli government bonds via an external AMZ funds. A lot
• 22:26
  Speaker 12: of students don't like it. We asked the university for
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: more detail. They told us they are now trying to
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: divest by the end of the month. Massi University is
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: in a similar spot. Actually, its investments include Israeli government bonds,
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: which are there have prompted protests on campus. Its art
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: department recently covered in pro Gaza graffiti. When we ask
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: Massi about their bonds, they didn't say anything about divesting.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: They said all of its investments are responsible. The income
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: from which it goes towards student scholarships academics research at Massi,
• 22:57
  Speaker 12: a topic that mindful Money has been on too lately,
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: pointing out to you know, a lot of our kiwisaver
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: funds at the moment invested in weapons used in Gaza.
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: The main thing always is transparency.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for that, Max.
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: Your weather today cold as well, early showers, clearing, strong
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: southerly's high of nine in the city and never ready
• 23:17
  Speaker 12: manages with.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Us in Auckland. Never good morning. Are you an ethical investor? No? No,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I goes to the biggest whatever gets me the biggest
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: bang from a buck, tobacco companies, arms dealers. I don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: cared about everything gay or big oil, love, big farmer.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Oh are you hey? The pools.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: The pools.
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: Yes, no, I know we mentioned this a few days
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: ago because they were having this meeting, but we have
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: a result. So Auckland Council they're going to continue to
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: manage the polls and the leisure centers that are under
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: its control because there was a proposal now that was
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: to outsource the operation to private operators. Now that was
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: not adopted at yesterday's council meeting. So you know, while
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: it'll mean pretty much business as usual, council will now
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: work with the unions and stuff. They've got to find
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: three million dollars and your savings across its network. So yeah,
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: so what does that mean.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Well, that's hard, isn't it Because it's not like you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: can just close a few lanes of the pool. No,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean it's You've still got to pay for the
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: same number of lifeguards, don't It's right, So how do
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you save three million dollars? Yes, I mean opening.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: Hours, opening hours, because.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: They are they're not very busy during the middle of
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Do you go.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: I mean I don't go to the pools, I must admit,
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: but you.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Do, yeah, yeah, And and they're obviously very busy in
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the morning. People are wanting to do their lengths and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: then very busy in the evening and probably I imagine
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: there's a school run in there somewhere. That's right, but
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: during the middle of the day you could probably close it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: Well, it's the equad joggers. I mean I did used
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: to do equad jogging, go to those classes with the
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: old biddies there at ten am. That was quite good.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose I forgot about the old biddies or.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: Should I say old biddies guys. Shouldn't say that young people? Yes,
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: sorry about that?
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no interesting. Hopefully they can sort something out because
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: it'd be shamed to lose one.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Or more than wouldn't ezactly, it's quite right.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for that. Never it is, well, should
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I do the weather? Sorry, this is the main part.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: This is what the orcland does really want a year
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: because all the fund Putoa. There's periods of rain, possibly heavy,
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: and then elsewhere round Auckland the odd shower clearing this afternoon.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: Auckland's high fourteen not as cold as the south. I'd
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: know who'd clear Engine minus five and christ Church minus five.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Have a nice week in christ Church it is sixteen
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: away from six.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a Playing Store. Youth Talk said be.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Fourteen away from six. The US federal reservers held the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: interest rates. They're steady. As we talked about yesterday, that
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: was always going to happen, but it now means that
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: they've got to make a cut, probably going to make
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: a cut in September, which is just before the election,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: which will be a politically charged cut. But you got
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to do what you've got to do. They've got a
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: job to do and they're dependent too. The Bank of
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: England overnight, on the other hand, has cut for the
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: first time in four years. They've cut a quarter of
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a percent down to five percent. And you might ask
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: why not go harder because you look at their inflation
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: numbers it's two percent, which is at target, so they
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: have reached target. Why are they not cutting more aggressively?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Why not get a chainsaw out? Well, nobody wants to
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: cut too far, too fast and have and risk having
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Inflation ticked back up. Also in the UK, services inflation
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: was unexpectedly high for June. What drove that dig a
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: little deeper. What do you get to Taylor Swift Hotel
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: costs went up because of their concerts, but also people
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: have phone contracts that they got took out when inflation
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: was really high, so they're very expensive. So those services
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: costs still quite high. In a bit of a worry
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: there for the Bank of England. It is thirteen to
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: mind for New Zealand business Vint Mekaznix now UK and
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: europe correspondents with all the details, all the juice on
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: this UIs Russia and I should say European prisoner swap Vincent.
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. This was thought to be coming for
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: a few days, but this surprise announcement this afternoon that
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: this deal has been agreed. Twenty fourth prisoners being held
• 27:22
  Speaker 13: in six countries, sixteen detainees from the West being swapped
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: with eight who are returning to Russia. This is the
• 27:30
  Speaker 13: biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the Cold War,
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: if you exclude some of those that have been in
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: the Ukraine conflict, and of course the most famous of
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: those Evan Guskovich, the Wall Street journal journalist. He is
• 27:43
  Speaker 13: being returned in exchange, the Russians have managed to get
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: the dim Krasikoff, who German officials identified as a colonel
• 27:53
  Speaker 13: in the colonel in Russia's FSB intelligence service. This swap
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: happened in the last few hours via and President Biden
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: has been given a press conference in the White House
• 28:04
  Speaker 13: marking the end of what he's said to be a
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: brutal ordeal for many of these families and the victims,
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: and has been seeing as quite a diplomatic triumph for
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: President Biden, whose administration has been working on this for
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: years to coordinate with multiple countries, as you mentioned, across
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: Europe to get this exchange over the line.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty incredible that they hand over a convicted
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: murderer though from Germany, isn't it, hey, Vincent that rioting
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: that happened in Southport. The murder accused has now been
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: named and appeared in court. Who is this person?
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah, this's a seventeen year old Axel Ruder Kubana now
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: under eighteens in British justice are normally kept anonymized unless
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: there is a public interest in revealing. The newspapers here
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: mounted a claim and that was accepted by the judge
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: that he should be identified given the nature of the crime.
• 28:58
  Speaker 13: He has been charged for three counts of murder, ten
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: counts of attempted murder and one counter possessing a bladed article.
• 29:06
  Speaker 13: He's been remanded in youth custody and of course this
• 29:10
  Speaker 13: is a complex operation. This traveling likely to take place
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: next year at the earliest. But what's been interesting is
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: the Kirstama has taken to Downing Street for a press
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: conference this afternoon where he's been denouncing the actions of
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: what he said were gangs of thugs who've exploited this
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: tragedy and traveled to Southport and then to Downing Street
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: last night fueled by false information wilfully being put out
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: on social media by the far rights, not just in
• 29:39
  Speaker 13: this country but other countries to soak up resentment towards
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: migrants to this country. And we have over one hundred
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: rests in London's night for what was a pretty violent,
• 29:48
  Speaker 13: horrible protest. At some point Nazi salutes were spotted in it,
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: all of them claiming that they were there because they
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: wanted to see greater child protection, but really it was
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: a pretty ugly affair.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Sounds thanks so much of your time, Vincent mcaviniy Ore
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: UKN you're a correspondent. It is nine away from six
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge, almost two months on from the major power
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: outage in Northland. Transpower say compensation is off the table
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: for those impacted. The tower was being cleaned when a
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: worker removed too many nuts, causing it to collapse while
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: the team leader was busy sand blasting the North Chamber
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Chief Executives Darren Fisher, Darren, good morning, Good morning Ryan.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: So we know what happened now there was a problem,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: too many nuts taken out, not enough attention being paid,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: but no compensation, although I do note that the Transpower
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: says they might look at a donation of sorts to
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the community. What do you reckon?
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: Pretty cringe worthy yesterday, wasn't it, Ryan. I mean it's
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: almost like watching the spin doctors at work. But I'm
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: talking about giving an MP one hundred thousand dollars to
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: hand out ice creams at the local amp show is
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: very different to compensation to a business. Trying to maintain
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: the employment of six hundred people in a small regional
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: town is a huge difference. I mean, an average household
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: in New Zealand earns one hundred and twenty five thousand
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: dollars a year in Northold. That's one hundred thousand dollars
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: a year typically made up of one bread winner and
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: one secondary Incomuna. Now, in a place like Kaitaia, where
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: six hundred people are reliant on one big business staying alive,
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: the direct result of what has happened here with transpier
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: puts those things in jeopardy. And I'm calling for that
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: board and that management to have put their big boy
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: pants on, get on an aeroplane, get up here and
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: front up to these local communities and explain why their
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: negligence is putting their livelihoods at risk.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Was that a serious suggestion to give the MP ice creams?
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: It's a serious suggestion that the MP has been down
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: in Wellington saying you need to make a good will
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: donation to the people of Northold and do something community
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: wide and be good Samaritans here. But this is that's
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: a very different conversation to keeping people in serious employment.
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: Transpower have got values on their website talking about how
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: they are good social citizens and how they're good community people. Well,
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: what they're about to do through their negligence and avoiding
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: all of this conversation is absolutely crush a workforce in
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: small community towns like Katya.
• 32:27
