0:16
Speaker 3: the hour, we'll look at how there are now more
0:18
Speaker 3: calls growing, calls for some actual sanctions against Israel. Yes,
0:24
Speaker 3: we've called for a ceasefire. Yes we've renewed our statement
0:26
Speaker 3: and strengthened our language, but the calls for sanctions directly
0:30
Speaker 3: against Israel are growing. Gavin Gray's in the UK for
0:33
Speaker 3: us this morning. There's some French cities are putting young
0:36
Speaker 3: people on a curfew because crime and violence is so bad.
0:40

0:43
Speaker 3: sky Free Deal. What it means for us if we're
0:47
Speaker 3: in the business of watching television. It's all ahead.
0:52
Speaker 2: The agenda Wednesday.
0:53
Speaker 3: Twenty third of July, a big push for sanctions against Israel,
0:57
Speaker 3: as I said, thirty three people, including twelve children, have
1:00
Speaker 3: died from malnutrition in just two days. This is according
1:03
Speaker 3: to the Hamas run Health Ministry, and as.
1:08
Speaker 4: You are well aware, over the weekend, Israeli military issued
1:12
Speaker 4: another displacement order in Darryl Balla, spanning four neighborhoods. Our colleagues,
1:18
Speaker 4: our humanitarian affairs colleagues warned that the mass displacement order
1:22
Speaker 4: has dealt yet another devastating blow to the already fragile
1:26
Speaker 4: lifeline keeping people alive across the Gaza Strip.
1:29
Speaker 3: Their Justice department in the US wants a word with
1:32
Speaker 3: Glaine Maxwell. They're asking what she knows Trump's calling the
1:35
Speaker 3: whole thing and which chine It's order course over Epstein.
1:38
Speaker 3: His supporters and Epstein victims are pushing hard to get
1:42
Speaker 3: those files released.
1:43
Speaker 5: Prove everyone wrong. If you have nothing to hide, then
1:47
Speaker 5: please release this information that people are asking for. Please
1:50
Speaker 5: make sure that Gilen Maxwell stays behind bars where she
1:53
Speaker 5: deserves to be.
1:55
Speaker 2: If you were.
1:56
Speaker 5: Truly not implicated, then this should not be a problem.
2:00
Speaker 3: The fair point, isn't it? And talking to media after
2:02
Speaker 3: meeting with the Philippines presidents, Trump slammed, you guessed it,
2:06
Speaker 3: Jerome Powell.
2:07
Speaker 6: People aren't able to buy a house because this guy
2:10
Speaker 6: is a numb skull.
2:12
Speaker 5: He keeps the reach too high and probably doing it
2:15
Speaker 5: for political reasons.
2:16
Speaker 3: The only time I remember him cutting reads. I mean
2:19
Speaker 3: he cut the reats.
2:20
Speaker 1: Just before the election to try and help Carmela.
2:24
Speaker 3: With all of that talk. He says in the interview,
2:27
Speaker 3: he's not going to sack them.
2:29
Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth
2:32
Speaker 1: analysis earlier this year with Ryan Bridge at ex Pol
2:35
Speaker 1: Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry this winter news
2:39
Speaker 1: talks a'd be well.
2:41
Speaker 3: Unlike Jerome Powell, our Reserve Bank is cutting interest rates
2:44
Speaker 3: and there were some interesting numbers out yesterday showing home
2:48
Speaker 3: ownership and affordability are actually doing pretty well right now.
2:53
Speaker 3: The outside of Auckland and Todunger is the only caveat
2:56
Speaker 3: sorry for people who are living in those areas, but
2:58
Speaker 3: home ownership now affordable for your typical first home buyer
3:03
Speaker 3: in most parts of this country. Now, what do they
3:06
Speaker 3: mean by affordable. It's a very good question. This is
3:08
Speaker 3: interest dot CO dot MZ that looks at the affordability
3:11
Speaker 3: of housing. So basically, home ownership is unaffordable when your
3:16
Speaker 3: mortgage payments are forty percent or more for a couple,
3:19
Speaker 3: this is your take home pay. If you're spending forty
3:22
Speaker 3: percent or more on your mortgage repayments, it's unaffordable and
3:27
Speaker 3: the average, Now this is at the lower end of
3:29
Speaker 3: the market, so if you're just going for a first
3:31
Speaker 3: time that sort of thing, it's the average thirty three
3:34
Speaker 3: percent of income on mortgages, which is good. It means
3:38
Speaker 3: that because there's a trifecta happening here, right We've got
3:41
Speaker 3: lower mortgage interstratets coming down, we've got lower prices because
3:45
Speaker 3: the market's subdued, and we've got rising wages and I
3:48
Speaker 3: know we keep talking about that and doesn't really feel
3:50
Speaker 3: like it, but it is. It's a statistical fact. So
3:54
Speaker 3: you've got this sort of trifecta happening, first time in
3:56
Speaker 3: a generation that's happened, and home ownership actually in most
4:00
Speaker 3: parts of New Zealand pretty good. So there's some good
4:03
Speaker 3: news to start your day. And I've got some retailian
4:05
Speaker 3: z numbers for you too, which will bring hopefully a
4:08
Speaker 3: bit of smile to your a bit of a smile
4:10
Speaker 3: to your dial this morning. It's not great in terms
4:12
Speaker 3: of where they've been, but at least the outlook is
4:15
Speaker 3: starting to improve. We'll have that story for you, and
4:17
Speaker 3: next from the spinoff, Don't and Grieve, we'll talk us
4:21
Speaker 3: through what the sky three deal means for the Sky business.
4:26
Speaker 3: I mean, how many products have they got now? Just
4:29
Speaker 3: you know they've got the Sky Sport Go, They've got three,
4:32
Speaker 3: They've got three now, they've got a whole bunch of
4:35
Speaker 3: fast channels, They've got Sky Open, They've got Sky to run.
4:39
Speaker 3: Quite a few things on their plates. So what does
4:41
Speaker 3: it mean for their business?
4:42
Speaker 1: That's next get ahead of the headlines on early edition
4:47
Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and ex Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes
4:51
Speaker 1: warm and dry this winter News Talks, that'd.
4:53
Speaker 3: Be great to have your company. Just gone thirteen minutes
4:55
Speaker 3: half the five here on News Talks dB. So the
4:58
Speaker 3: retailians dead report up, this is their core badly. Retail
5:00
Speaker 3: New Zealand report showing some optimism is creeping into our
5:04
Speaker 3: retail sector. Thank goodness, we had card transactions. We told
5:07
Speaker 3: you about this. That was up slightly for June. You know,
5:11
Speaker 3: inflation is coming down, the ocr is has come down,
5:15
Speaker 3: is now holding steady. Total volume of retail sales was
5:18
Speaker 3: up point eight percent compared to the last quarter. So
5:22
Speaker 3: those are the numbers. And now Retailing z goes out
5:24
Speaker 3: and surveys retailers and here's what they said the past
5:27
Speaker 3: three months well, not that great. How did your business
5:30
Speaker 3: track against your targets? Ten percent exceeded targets, twenty eight
5:34
Speaker 3: percent met targets, sixty two percent did not meet targets. However,
5:40
Speaker 3: when you look forward three months, half expect to meet
5:43
Speaker 3: their target, so that is an improvement. But here's where
5:45
Speaker 3: it gets interesting. How confident are you that your business
5:49
Speaker 3: will survive the next twelve months? Nine percent not confident,
5:54
Speaker 3: sixty nine percent confident, and twenty two percent neutral. Now
5:59
Speaker 3: the interesting part about this is your sixty nine percent
6:01
Speaker 3: confident is a great number because it compares with a
6:05
Speaker 3: fifty seven percent confidence a year prior, so that's up
6:09
Speaker 3: over ten percentage points. It is fourteen minutes after five
6:13
Speaker 3: Brian Bridge, the News for New Zealand Media. Sky TV
6:16
Speaker 3: is buying three for a buck from Warner Brothers Discovery
6:19
Speaker 3: and it will take on none of its debt investors.
6:22
Speaker 3: We're loving it. Yesterday's shares and Sky ended up up
6:25
Speaker 3: five percent more than three bucks. Dunk and Greeves spinoff
6:28
Speaker 3: founder and media commentator with me this morning. Hey Duncan morning, Ryan.
6:32
Speaker 3: Good to have you on the show. So what is
6:35
Speaker 3: this a good smart business decision from Sky?
6:39
Speaker 7: I think anytime you can buy a business that's got
6:42
Speaker 7: one hundred million dollars in revenue for a dollar, if
6:46
Speaker 7: you want to take a hard look at it, it
6:49
Speaker 7: obviously says something about the nature of the sector that
6:52
Speaker 7: it goes for that price. But you know that there's
6:54
Speaker 7: a reason why analysts were very hot on this after
6:58
Speaker 7: been quite cool on the Media Works acquisition a few
7:01
Speaker 7: years ago for Sky. So yeah, great deal for Sky.
7:03
Speaker 3: I think it leads them more. And you point this
7:06
Speaker 3: out in your column. With a lot of things, a
7:08
Speaker 3: lot of fingers and a lot of pies, a lot
7:09
Speaker 3: of apps to run, you know, a lot of linear
7:12
Speaker 3: TV channels to run, do they need them or will
7:14
Speaker 3: they need them more or will they rationalize?
7:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's been a persistent issue for Sky,
7:20
Speaker 7: dating back to probably the John Phillett era CEO when
7:25
Speaker 7: they tried to merge. If you remember with Vodaphone that
7:29
Speaker 7: they've got a lot of different pieces of technology, and
7:33
Speaker 7: if you look at the pre eminent modern sort of
7:37
Speaker 7: TV media company, it's Netflix, which is just a single
7:40
Speaker 7: property so that you can get on any device anywhere
7:45
Speaker 7: in the world. Sky much smaller company, a much more
7:50
Speaker 7: market and has a lot of different things going on.
7:52
Speaker 7: So I think they're at a great scale now that
7:55
Speaker 7: certainly if they can rationalize that, not necessarily the brands,
7:59
Speaker 7: I think that you can with that, but certainly a
8:01
Speaker 7: number of different technology platforms and how I talk to
8:04
Speaker 7: each other, that will be a sorder of business to me.
8:06
Speaker 3: At the back end. What about their projections, their growth projections.
8:10
Speaker 3: I mean, given what you know about the state of
8:13
Speaker 3: running media companies in New Zealand right now, especially ones
8:16
Speaker 3: that are relying on advertising, that projection of earnings growth
8:20
Speaker 3: of at least ten million a year by twenty eight
8:23
Speaker 3: I think it was, you know, these things realistic.
8:28
Speaker 7: I think so.
8:28
Speaker 8: I mean skuy ultimately is buys a lot of content
8:33
Speaker 8: on one side, from sports to entertainment to some international news,
8:38
Speaker 8: and then try to sell it a bunch of different ways.
8:41
Speaker 7: Some of that they had supported. Some of it, you know,
8:44
Speaker 7: a lot of it are subscription revenue. But what they've
8:48
Speaker 7: done now is really build that they had supported side
8:50
Speaker 7: of the business, but a stake in over time, just
8:56
Speaker 7: take the content that they already have and put it
8:58
Speaker 7: in a bunch of different places. And that's what three
9:01
Speaker 7: and three now offer them far bigger scale of free
9:06
Speaker 7: to accessible content, and they've had four. They've actually done
9:09
Speaker 7: well in advertising sky and in a market that's been
9:12
Speaker 7: pretty terrible for a lot of the local media. So
9:16
Speaker 7: you know, it really does look like a very there's
9:19
Speaker 7: a basket and here which a great discus and also
9:22
Speaker 7: great for three, which has had, as you will know,
9:25
Speaker 7: reluctant owners for a long period of time.
9:28
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, reluctance the nice word. I think duncan thank you.
9:33
Speaker 3: Dank and Grieve spin off founder and media commentator on
9:36
Speaker 3: the Sky three deal. It is seventeen minutes after five.
9:38
Speaker 3: Y're on News Talk ce B coming up next. So
9:41
Speaker 3: you've got your tariffs. In terms of trade barriers, you've
9:43
Speaker 3: got your tariffs and we talk about those a lot,
9:45
Speaker 3: but they are a whole bunch that we don't talk
9:47
Speaker 3: about but beef and lamma. And they say, if we
9:50
Speaker 3: got rid of them, managed to eliminate them, we'd be
9:53
Speaker 3: about one and a half billion bucks a year better off.
9:56
Speaker 1: On your radio and online. On iheard Radio edition with
10:01
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and x Full Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
10:05
Speaker 1: and dry. This winter News Talks EDB.
10:08
Speaker 3: News Talks EDB has just gone five twenty high. Ryan
10:10
Speaker 3: Humus just needs to release the hostages, then there will
10:13
Speaker 3: be peace. Why is no one putting it?
10:15
Speaker 7: This?
10:15
Speaker 3: Simply says Andy. Well, it's not a simple situlation situation,
10:19
Speaker 3: but I mean, yes, that would certainly help, wouldn't it.
10:22
Speaker 3: You'd have to say, I'm just gone five twenty. We'll
10:24
Speaker 3: talk about that just before six this morning. Rich General
10:28
Speaker 3: Motors has their results out for quarter two, which make
10:30
Speaker 3: for interesting reading. We'll get to that in just a second.
10:33
Speaker 3: Major hurdles to free trader holding back our red meat exports.
10:36
Speaker 3: This is according to Beef and Lamb and also the
10:39
Speaker 3: Meat Industry Association. New report from MBI and Beef and
10:42
Speaker 3: Lamb estimates non tariff trade barriers are costing US more
10:46
Speaker 3: than a billion bucks a year. Kate Acklin from Beef
10:48
Speaker 3: and Lamb with me. Now, Hey, Kate, morning, Ryan, good morning.
10:52
Speaker 3: So what we when you say non tariff trade barriers?
10:55
Speaker 3: What are you talking about specifically and which countries?
10:58
Speaker 9: Well, so, non tariff barriers are things like inspections or
11:02
Speaker 9: environmental requirements or paperwork requirements. And sometimes those measures they
11:07
Speaker 9: serve a really important purpose. They're actual that food is
11:09
Speaker 9: safe to eat. But when they're not science based or transparent,
11:13
Speaker 9: then actually they are just a barrier and a cost
11:16
Speaker 9: to trade, and you know that adds uncertainty, it adds
11:19
Speaker 9: cost for both farmers and exporters. So you know, this
11:22
Speaker 9: report highlights one point five billion dollars a year is
11:26
Speaker 9: what those non tariff barriers are costing.
11:29
Speaker 3: Our sector and what are you which countries?
11:34
Speaker 9: So it's really broadly spread. Actually there's no sort of
11:37
Speaker 9: one particular one that sticks out, and I think the
11:40
Speaker 9: whole purpose of this report is just to highlight those
11:42
Speaker 9: areas that can be worked on.
11:44
Speaker 3: Are they using them because if if they're really broaden,
11:47
Speaker 3: everyone does it. I mean, are they using them on
11:50
Speaker 3: purpose to try and restrict trade when they can't do tariffs?
11:54
Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying?
11:57
Speaker 9: There is absolutely an aspect of that. So you know
12:00
Speaker 9: what this report, this reports entitled barriers to trade, So
12:03
Speaker 9: it looks at that both the tariffs and the non
12:06
Speaker 9: tariff barriers that we're facing. And you know, a ten
12:08
Speaker 9: point four billion dollar sector is what the red meat
12:11
Speaker 9: industry is worth, So you know one point five billion
12:13
Speaker 9: is significant.
12:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no doubt, it's significant. How hard will it
12:18
Speaker 3: be to try and get you know, all these disparate
12:20
Speaker 3: different countries with a myriad different regulations around inspections, et cetera.
12:25
Speaker 3: How hard is it to try and get them all
12:26
Speaker 3: to change? There is based on what probably is a
12:29
Speaker 3: subjective view, is it not. You know, we might think
12:34
Speaker 3: that their inspections are over zealous, but they, on the
12:36
Speaker 3: other hand, might think that they're just fine. And we
12:39
Speaker 3: have quite strict you know, environmental and biosecurity standards in
12:42
Speaker 3: New Zealand too.
12:43
Speaker 9: Look, we absolutely do, and you know we work very
12:46
Speaker 9: closely with the Ministry for Primary Industries and Ministry for
12:49
Speaker 9: Foreign Affairs in trade and just to make sure that
12:52
Speaker 9: any of those requirements that we're facing going into those
12:55
Speaker 9: countries are science based. And you know, this report actually
12:58
Speaker 9: is quite helpful for them to identify where those hot
13:01
Speaker 9: spots are. And I think I heard yesterday that the
13:04
Speaker 9: Ministry of Foreign Afairs and Traders working on one hundred
13:06
Speaker 9: and ninety four different non tariff barriers across the world
13:09
Speaker 9: that our sector faces. So you know, it is a
13:12
Speaker 9: big issue and the shighlights it.
13:14
Speaker 3: She's a big job. Kate, appreciate that, Thank you very much. Kate,
13:16
Speaker 3: Acklan Beef and Lamb New Zealand share with me this morning,
13:19
Speaker 3: by the way, that report. It's quite interesting just looking
13:22
Speaker 3: at the tariffs that we do have so far, so
13:25
Speaker 3: the ten percent tariff under the new US administration, and
13:30
Speaker 3: we'll see total tariffs faced by the sector more than
13:33
Speaker 3: double from one hundred and fifty five million to more
13:36
Speaker 3: than three hundred almost three hundred and seventy million dollars.
13:39
Speaker 3: That's just after the ten percent tariff, which I suppose
13:44
Speaker 3: goes some way to showing you how low they were
13:46
Speaker 3: to begin with. Twenty three minutes after five here on
13:48
Speaker 3: news Talk, sa'd b are coming up. Change to ACC's accounting,
13:52
Speaker 3: which you would think it's a bit like New Plymouth.
13:55
Speaker 3: You know, New Plmouth stuffed up the rates, and I
13:58
Speaker 3: was pleased to see this. Yesterday they came out and
14:01
Speaker 3: said no, no, you're not going to be They stuffed
14:05
Speaker 3: up the rates and residents were going to have to
14:06
Speaker 3: pay on average I think it was next one hundred
14:08
Speaker 3: bucks a year because there was an accounting eerror and
14:11
Speaker 3: they had a meeting and the residents said, no, you
14:15
Speaker 3: go and find another three million dollars in savings and
14:17
Speaker 3: I will pocket that one hundred dollars thank you. You
14:21
Speaker 3: will not take that from me. I was pleased to
14:23
Speaker 3: see that they had done that. You would think a
14:26
Speaker 3: similar thing would happen with the acc accounting changes that
14:28
Speaker 3: they have announced, but nay, we'll get to that shortly.
14:31
Speaker 3: It's twenty four after five.
14:33
Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio how Advy News.
14:38
Speaker 3: TALKSB News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five. This business
14:43
Speaker 3: with the supermarkets and they're pricing Consumer New Zealand in
14:45
Speaker 3: case you didn't catch it yesterday came out with a
14:47
Speaker 3: petition which we should all sign, apparently, and they want change.
14:52
Speaker 3: They want to stop prices being incorrectly labeled. So when
14:55
Speaker 3: you go to the checkout and you scan your receipts
14:57
Speaker 3: and something's different to what you expected, something is different
14:59
Speaker 3: to what was on the shelf, then under their plan,
15:02
Speaker 3: you would get a refund on the product and you
15:05
Speaker 3: would get to take the product home for free. The
15:08
Speaker 3: idea is that if you make the punishment more than
15:11
Speaker 3: fit the crime, then they'll stop doing it, which I get.
15:15
Speaker 3: But the supermarkets reckon and consumer en Zed calls the spin,
15:18
Speaker 3: but they reckon that there's just too many products and
15:21
Speaker 3: they honestly make mistakes more often than not. It's out
15:26
Speaker 3: by literally a few cents you know, so like five
15:29
Speaker 3: ninety nine instead of five ninety five. The key question
15:32
Speaker 3: here is whether we think the supermarkets are doing this
15:34
Speaker 3: on purpose or whether they're just large organizations that occasionally
15:39
Speaker 3: get small things wrong and correct the errors when they're
15:43
Speaker 3: spotted and give refunds where necessary and where people have
15:46
Speaker 3: asked for them. If we're saying they are deliberately doing this,
15:50
Speaker 3: that's a whole other thing. And I'm not saying that
15:53
Speaker 3: supermarkets should be given a hall pass here. But if
15:56
Speaker 3: we're talking about a few million dollars a year, which
16:00
Speaker 3: is what they think it adds up to spread over
16:02
Speaker 3: a population of five million people, plus the free products
16:07
Speaker 3: and the cost of those, on top of refunds that
16:09
Speaker 3: they would have to pay for, and the staff hours
16:12
Speaker 3: of going around and checking all the prices. Again, you've
16:14
Speaker 3: got to ask yourself if the potential payoff is worth
16:17
Speaker 3: the cost of pushing a policy like that. One Ryan Bred,
16:21
Speaker 3: twenty eight minutes after five year on Newstalok said, be
16:24
Speaker 3: we'll get to Garza just before six o'clock this morning.
16:27
Speaker 3: Right now, General Motors earnings out overnight, so profit has
16:31
Speaker 3: shrink they've taken. This is second quarter results for them,
16:34
Speaker 3: they've taken a one point one billion dollar hit to
16:37
Speaker 3: their bottom line from tariffs. Net income down thirty five
16:41
Speaker 3: percent for the second quarter and it will get worse
16:44
Speaker 3: for quarter three. They reckon they held prices steady and
16:48
Speaker 3: basically just absorbed, soaked up all of the tariff costs.
16:51
Speaker 3: So that's why it's set their bottom line to the
16:53
Speaker 3: tune of one point one billion dollars. They say they
16:56
Speaker 3: need trade deals to get out of this. Mexico, Canada,
16:58
Speaker 3: South Korea, everywhere they get their parts net and come down.
17:03
Speaker 3: And they expect once the full terifs take effect, it
17:07
Speaker 3: could be a third of their profit that's wiped out.
17:10
Speaker 3: And this is General Motives. This is the company, one
17:12
Speaker 3: of the companies presumably Trump was wanting to revive and
17:15
Speaker 3: bring back and production in America and huh. Anyway, not
17:19
Speaker 3: great result for them and the future not looking too
17:21
Speaker 3: bright either. It is twenty nine minutes after five News Talk,
17:25
Speaker 3: said b as I said, our reporters next will get
17:28
Speaker 3: to Gavin Gray in the UK and Gaza before.
17:31
Speaker 2: Six News and Views.
17:46
Speaker 1: You trust to start your day. It's early edition with
17:49
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge at expol Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm and dry.
17:54
Speaker 1: This winter, News Talk said b s don't coming.
18:05
Speaker 3: Good morning. It is twenty four away from six year
18:07
Speaker 3: on news Talk ZB Ed Sharon is coming to New Zealand.
18:10
Speaker 3: He's got an all new loop tour. It's January, February
18:14
Speaker 3: and March of next year, a great summer run right
18:17
Speaker 3: across the country. And interestingly he is going to you Wellington.
18:21
Speaker 3: So before Max comes here and bags Wellington again this morning,
18:25
Speaker 3: let's just celebrate the fact that Sky's Stadium will host
18:28
Speaker 3: one of his gigs. Mout smart you'll get one to
18:31
Speaker 3: a brand new album from him coming September, and according
18:35
Speaker 3: to the press release from his promoters, a renewed creative spirit.
18:39
Speaker 3: Looking forward to seeing Ed Sharon in the country very quickly.
18:42
Speaker 3: On supermarket prices, your text messages have been coming in
18:45
Speaker 3: thick and fast on this right. I noticed that supermarkets
18:48
Speaker 3: place more expensive items above the wrong label. So you
18:52
Speaker 3: think you're getting a five hundred gram jar of natala
18:55
Speaker 3: for the price of the two hundred and fifty grand jar.
18:57
Speaker 3: You do have to be a little bit careful and
18:59
Speaker 3: read closely. Sometimes. I also have not quite figured out
19:04
Speaker 3: and I don't know if it's a uniform thing or not,
19:05
Speaker 3: but whether the price is above the product or below
19:09
Speaker 3: the product. Just haven't quite figured that out yet, and
19:13
Speaker 3: I always have to check. And maybe they do that
19:15
Speaker 3: deliberately because they're all a holes, you know that they're
19:18
Speaker 3: trying to screw us, so they mix it up. And
19:21
Speaker 3: whether you go to pack and stay or then you
19:23
Speaker 3: go to countdown or then you go to New World,
19:25
Speaker 3: that it's all different because they are evil, you know,
19:30
Speaker 3: imperialist prats and they are just constantly trying to screw
19:35
Speaker 3: us down. Twenty two or are we paranoid? Twenty two
19:38
Speaker 3: to six are reporters around the country. Callum and de
19:42
Speaker 3: Eden Hay Callum, good morning, right, Jills Raddis has got
19:45

Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
19:49
Speaker 10: He's officially confirmed he's so going to seek re election
19:52
Speaker 10: in this year's October election. Jills Raddicks says he's getting
19:56
Speaker 10: the new hospital up and running remains a priority for him,
20:00
Speaker 10: be a part of followed by other infrastructure around the city.
20:03
Speaker 10: He says projects are not done and there are plans
20:06
Speaker 10: and funding in place, so he wants to see it through.
20:08
Speaker 10: City councilors. Carmen Hulahans, Sophie Barker, Lee Vandervis, and Mandy
20:13
Speaker 10: Mayhem challenging Raddick for the job. Other meror hopeful sere
20:18
Speaker 10: at the stage businessman in Moscule's Hidi community bought chair
20:21
Speaker 10: and Andrew Simms and also Green Party nominee Mickey Treadwell.
20:24
Speaker 3: Excellent. How's your weather?
20:26
Speaker 10: It's another freezer this morning minus five at the airport
20:29
Speaker 10: with severe frosts and morning fog. Otherwise fine light wins
20:33
Speaker 10: the heights of the eleven.
20:34
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Caleen and clear than christ this morning, Claire,
20:38
Speaker 3: good morning. This okay, brag time from you. You've got
20:40
Speaker 3: your sports center, you've got your stadium coming. Now there's
20:43
Speaker 3: a new play area.
20:44
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is going to be a big play area
20:46
Speaker 11: too at the old site of the Q two pols.
20:49
Speaker 11: So the new pools have been built and nearby is
20:52
Speaker 11: the new Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls High School campus.
20:55
Speaker 11: Now we've got news that this new play space is coming.
20:57
Speaker 11: This is a project that we'll have play equipment for kids,
21:00
Speaker 11: picnic tables, there'll be some really cool little I guess
21:03
Speaker 11: nods to the park's history, specifically around its sporting history.
21:07
Speaker 11: So there'll be some horse themed rockers as well. Coastal
21:11
Speaker 11: Ward Community board member Alex Hewison has been a part
21:14
Speaker 11: of this. He tells us that it's been in the
21:15
Speaker 11: pipeline since twenty sixteen. He says it's simple that the
21:19
Speaker 11: community in East christ Church has waited too long for it,
21:22
Speaker 11: but there is hope this will be open by the
21:24
Speaker 11: end of summer. He says, there'll be some really nice nods,
21:27
Speaker 11: as I say, to the previous history of the of
21:30
Speaker 11: the Q two complex there, including the Commonwealth Games. So
21:33
Speaker 11: there'll be like a four square that's themed around the
21:36
Speaker 11: comm Games for example.
21:38
Speaker 3: Oh that's cool. How's the weather.
21:40
Speaker 11: Cold here as well? Frosty sitting at minus three at
21:43
Speaker 11: the moment, should clear too, mainly fine though with a
21:45
Speaker 11: bit of cloud building the high will be ten degrees.
21:48
Speaker 3: Thank you, Max's and Wellington Max, good morning. You've got
21:51
Speaker 3: what you're bringing us the news of the Wellington show
21:54
Speaker 3: for Ed Shearon, Yes, how dare you?
21:58
Speaker 12: This is some good positive news for the city. We've
22:02
Speaker 12: been running stories for some time now about how music
22:04
Speaker 12: acts skip the capital. As you said, Lewis Capaldi, Lord,
22:08
Speaker 12: they're just doing Auckland and christ Church homegrown. The Festival,
22:11
Speaker 12: the annual music event that's leaving as well. Getting Ed
22:15
Speaker 12: Sheeran to come to Wellington feels like a weight off
22:16
Speaker 12: the shoulders January twenty one. He's performing here at sky
22:20
Speaker 12: Stadium last lee. We did have the Foo Fighters last
22:24
Speaker 12: year and before that well Ed Sheeran himself in twenty
22:27
Speaker 12: twenty three he got almost fifty thousand people to sky
22:30
Speaker 12: Stadium himself. Tickets go on sale next week. There is
22:33
Speaker 12: still the overarching question though, of us having or not
22:36
Speaker 12: having that sort of mid sized venue to rival other cities,
22:40
Speaker 12: to rival Spark or Wolfbrook of eight to twelve to
22:43
Speaker 12: fifteen thousand ish when the acts don't want to fill
22:46
Speaker 12: up a stadium. We had Brewtown actually in Upper Hutt
22:49
Speaker 12: yesterday talking to us about its outdoor site. They want
22:52
Speaker 12: to host more music. Wellingtonian shouldn't have to fly to
22:55
Speaker 12: Auckland or christ Church when their favorites fly this way.
22:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bruckhouse places quite It's quite a good venue.
23:01
Speaker 3: I've had friends and family that have gone there for
23:03
Speaker 3: concerts and said they had a great time, including a
23:05
Speaker 3: New Year's one. That's enough. That's an apper heart, isn't it.
23:08
Speaker 3: How Anyway, that's completely unrelated. You want do you want
23:15
Speaker 3: our weather?
23:15
Speaker 2: Yeah?
23:15
Speaker 3: How's your wear? The max?
23:17
Speaker 12: No, Bruetown's brilliant. Obviously limited by weather though a little
23:20
Speaker 12: cloudy today. Otherwise fine twelve the high.
23:23
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Neva and Auckland, NEV. Good morningreetings.
23:26
Speaker 3: We had bit of chaos on the motorway last night.
23:29
Speaker 2: Yeah we did.
23:29
Speaker 13: Now look, police are continuing to investigate this is a bomb.
23:32
Speaker 13: Skin of this caused, as you say, chaos on the
23:35
Speaker 13: Southern Motorway yesterday a man's body was found nearby. Now
23:39
Speaker 13: the officers that are called to the walkway, this is
23:40
Speaker 13: at Highbrook about eleven thirty am, they found an item
23:44
Speaker 13: resembling an improvised explosive device. So, of course state part
23:48
Speaker 13: of State Highway one that was closed for hours as
23:50
Speaker 13: a result. We were just talking about this in the newsroom.
23:52
Speaker 13: I think it didn't clear into well into the evening.
23:55
Speaker 13: Specialists say two objects found in the area likely and
23:58
Speaker 13: not IED's, but they're exact them. Police carried out a
24:01
Speaker 13: detailed scene examination last night and they're looking into this
24:04
Speaker 13: man's death as well.
24:05
Speaker 3: Right, so they don't so they thought they were bombs,
24:09
Speaker 3: looked them up, looked into them they're not bombs. Yeah likely, yeah, execuly,
24:14
Speaker 3: I mean you want to be cautious. But there were
24:16
Speaker 3: a lot of people upset. There was the one woman
24:18
Speaker 3: who was in the traffic for three and a half
24:20
Speaker 3: hours apparently.
24:20
Speaker 13: Well they were talking about this in the newsroom. Lucky.
24:23
Speaker 13: I didn't even know what was going on. I was
24:25
Speaker 13: at home. I'm a lounger, fastest sleep thinking. Thank goodness,
24:31
Speaker 13: they finally frost and Shelter places today's high fourteen for Aukland.
24:35
Speaker 3: Brilliant, Thank you very much. As somebody says, you need
24:37
Speaker 3: to use the grocer app when you go to the groceries.
24:40
Speaker 3: It's great that Nick also says, I believe all supermarket
24:43
Speaker 3: owners have new Range rovers. I mean there's I don't notice, obviously,
24:48
Speaker 3: I don't know that's true. But is that a bad thing?
24:50
Speaker 3: I don't know. Doesn't everyone want a new Range Rover? Hey,
24:55
Speaker 3: it is seventeen minutes away from sex News talk SETB.
24:58
Speaker 3: You know what's pretty cool that we've got a business
25:00
Speaker 3: right here in New Zealand who's actually caring about the
25:03
Speaker 3: planet and doing something real about it, not just talking,
25:06
Speaker 3: And who's leading the way Xpole. Yeah, it's the warmest
25:10
Speaker 3: feet in the world. People you know them. They've got
25:12
Speaker 3: something called XPOLES Earth Initiative, and honestly it is quite impressive.
25:16
Speaker 3: All seven of their factories across the country are fitted
25:19
Speaker 3: with recycling machines, not just for their own offcuts, but
25:22
Speaker 3: also for waste that's collected from building sites and even households.
25:26
Speaker 3: They're now recycling more than five hundred tons of polystyring
25:29
Speaker 3: a year, and they've set up recycling bins throughout building
25:33
Speaker 3: merchants nationwide up and down the country, and they take
25:35
Speaker 3: back packaging waste from there as well. Now that is
25:39
Speaker 3: one thousand cubic meters of waste every month, roughly ten
25:43
Speaker 3: truck and trailer roads loads. I should say even better,
25:46
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of their products now contain recycled content.
25:51
Speaker 3: So if you're building or renovating and you want to
25:53
Speaker 3: be a bit better to the planet, go to Xpole
25:55
Speaker 3: dot co dot NZ your home and the environment will
25:58
Speaker 3: thank you for it.
26:00
Speaker 1: International correspondence with Insie Eye Insurance Peace of Mind for
26:04
Speaker 1: New Zealand Business.
26:05
Speaker 3: Kevin Gray are UK. You're a correspondent joining us live
26:08
Speaker 3: this morning.
26:08
Speaker 2: Kevin.
26:08
Speaker 3: A number of French cities imposing curfews on young people.
26:12
Speaker 14: This is over crime, yes, that's right, Ryan, and in
26:15
Speaker 14: particular drug trafficking and the use of young children to
26:19
Speaker 14: be couriers within that trade. Now, the latest city to
26:23
Speaker 14: undergo this idea of a curfew is Nim that's in
26:25
Speaker 14: the south of France, and they say that is really
26:29
Speaker 14: tried to prevent under sixteen's being exposed to violence and
26:33
Speaker 14: to contain tensions. The curfew is between nine pm and
26:37
Speaker 14: six a m. And over the course of the last
26:39
Speaker 14: month there have been several shootings, one in broad daylight,
26:43
Speaker 14: all to do with the drugs trade. One person has
26:46
Speaker 14: died in those shootings, several injured, and last week the
26:49
Speaker 14: body of a nineteen year old man was found partially
26:52
Speaker 14: burned on the outskirts of the city of Nim. It's
26:55
Speaker 14: not just their Bezier to the southwest has had a
26:58
Speaker 14: curfew in place for children that's been plagued by violence
27:02
Speaker 14: that the weekend balaklava clad used lured police and then
27:06
Speaker 14: attacked them, according to local media and Limoje in southwestern
27:10
Speaker 14: France also imposing curfew measures and certainly politicians waking up
27:15
Speaker 14: saying we now have a real epidemic. I'm afraid of
27:18
Speaker 14: drug related violence. One hundred and ten people dying in
27:21
Speaker 14: France in twenty twenty four with drug related violence.
27:25
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the BRIT's are happy about this fine that actually
27:29
Speaker 3: miss Nottingham. This is a Royal Navy warship sunk by
27:32
Speaker 3: the Germans and found at what one hundred years later?
27:36
Speaker 14: Yes, and I think it will be particularly poignant for
27:39
Speaker 14: those who lost their lives that the families of the
27:42
Speaker 14: thirty eight crew members who were killed. It was a
27:44
Speaker 14: four hundred and fifty seven foot ship. It was torpedoed
27:47
Speaker 14: by a German submarine in August nineteen sixteen and has
27:52
Speaker 14: finally been found. There were numerous missions to try and
27:54
Speaker 14: find this vessel, which was absolutely stuffed with crew members.
27:59
Speaker 14: So in total there were twenty officers, the captain and
28:02
Speaker 14: three hundred and fifty seven other crew who were rescued
28:06
Speaker 14: by Royal Navy destroyers and survived. And we know it's
28:10
Speaker 14: the vessel because they say they've seen the cutlery and
28:15
Speaker 14: crockery embossed with the Royal Navy Blue crown emblem and
28:19
Speaker 14: the letterer in Nottingham on top of the stern as well,
28:22
Speaker 14: so we do pretty sure, and they've now found it
28:24
Speaker 14: the Nottingham was struck three times on its port side.
28:27
Speaker 14: It was on a reconnaissance mission, but they'd spotted a
28:30
Speaker 14: German U boat earlier, but they thought it was a
28:32
Speaker 14: small fishing vessel. It wasn't. It attacked and that led
28:36
Speaker 14: to this quite high death camp, but plenty managing to escape,
28:39
Speaker 14: but some very difficult memories for those who have loved
28:42
Speaker 14: ones who'd lost their lives in that First World War.
28:44
Speaker 3: It sounds like two givin thank you for that. Kevin Gray,
28:47
Speaker 3: you're correspondent, just gone eleven minutes away from six. So,
28:50
Speaker 3: by the way, who just said it ticks? Come and
28:52
Speaker 3: Ryan there was a fatality. This person lives in Japan.
28:54
Speaker 3: Clearly a fatality on a Japanese city round network yesterday.
28:57
Speaker 3: There was an announcement on the train to expect it
29:00
Speaker 3: no longer than fifteen minutes. So they don't muck around
29:04
Speaker 3: in Japan even if there are casualties, fatalities on the tracks.
29:08
Speaker 3: Just gone ten minutes away from six now two guards
29:11
Speaker 3: that we go. Opposition parties here saying government needs to
29:13
Speaker 3: get harder to take a harshest stance against Israel. Yesterday,
29:17
Speaker 3: Winston Peter has joined a bunch of other countries and
29:19
Speaker 3: calling for an immediate sease fire.
29:22
Speaker 6: This horror must end. Two lives have been lost, too
29:25
Speaker 6: many people have been traumatized, polarized and embittered, ensuring that
29:30
Speaker 6: yet another generation of Israeli and Palestinian children born into
29:34
Speaker 6: a situation have insufferable conflict and enmity. That is why
29:38
Speaker 6: and Zeelan has come together with foreign ministers from twenty
29:41
Speaker 6: seven other countries to state as city as we can
29:45
Speaker 6: that enough is enough, that this war must end, now
29:49
Speaker 6: that this suffering is intolerable.
29:51
Speaker 3: Close to Aubert during party colored with me this morning, Chloe,
29:53
Speaker 3: good morning, enough. So what more can Winston Dowe has
29:57
Speaker 3: called for an unconditional seats fire, immediate SEASPI what else?
30:02
Speaker 15: The Foreign Minister has been calling for a ceasefire for
30:05
Speaker 15: the better part of two years. But Ryan, at the
30:07
Speaker 15: end of the day, Palestinians can't eat words, and right
30:10
Speaker 15: now the blockade on Gaza is starving, actively starving the
30:15
Speaker 15: people of Palestine. Look, we've had Holocaust scholars and survivors,
30:19
Speaker 15: We've had Human Rights Watch, United Nations, Entities, Amnesty International,
30:24
Speaker 15: all of which have said that what is unfolding before
30:26
Speaker 15: our very eyes is a genocide. Then we have the
30:29
Speaker 15: horrific videos livestream to our phones twenty four to seven,
30:33
Speaker 15: and as schools and hospitals are being bombed and eight
30:35
Speaker 15: hundred people have been murdered in the last two months
30:38
Speaker 15: lighting up for food. I think the absolute bare minimum
30:41
Speaker 15: that any of us can expect from our so called
30:43
Speaker 15: representatives and leaders has put substance behind their words.
30:47
Speaker 3: So we dratifically, what specific sanctions are you talking about,
30:50
Speaker 3: because we've got sanctions to travel bands against a couple
30:53
Speaker 3: of members of Nitnya's cabinet, But what specifically else would
30:56
Speaker 3: you like?
30:58
Speaker 15: So we can copy the exact same framework that we
31:00
Speaker 15: did with the Russia's Sanctions Act, where you'll recall that
31:03
Speaker 15: our Parliament acted within just a few weeks of Russia's
31:06
Speaker 15: unlawful invasion into an occupation of Ukraine and sanctioned Russia autonomously.
31:11
Speaker 15: That's the reason that I took the parallel approach with
31:14
Speaker 15: the sanctions Bill, with the Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill,
31:18
Speaker 15: which actually would implement a put some substance behind the
31:22
Speaker 15: words that we signed up to in September of last
31:25
Speaker 15: year when we joined with one hundred and twenty three
31:27
Speaker 15: other member states to support the United Nations General Assembly
31:31
Speaker 15: effectively to back up the advisory opinion from the ICJ,
31:35
Speaker 15: the International Court of Justice in a nutshell, Ryan, we
31:39
Speaker 15: had seen other countries also move to do this. Yes,
31:41
Speaker 15: spaceic sanctions. That Ireland has done this.
31:44
Speaker 2: We saw.
31:45
Speaker 15: We saw just last week that twelve countries came together
31:47
Speaker 15: to do the same and Borgata. So we need some
31:50
Speaker 15: action behind words. All those words are just empty.
31:53
Speaker 3: We appreciate time close for Green Party co leader that
31:55
Speaker 3: EU is discussing this very matter as well about whether
31:59
Speaker 3: you put sanctions on Israel or not. At this point
32:01
Speaker 3: they have not. It is seven minutes away from six newstalks.
32:05
Speaker 1: B Bryan Bridge on early edition with ex bowl insulation
32:11
Speaker 1: keeping Kiwio's warm and try this winter News Talks b there's.
32:15
Speaker 3: Five to six on News Talks, b Ryan. My kids
32:17
Speaker 3: work in a supermarket. They are managed very, very hard.
32:21
Speaker 3: If there are any errors, there is big pressure on them.
32:25
Speaker 3: This is about whether you worry if your bill is
32:28
Speaker 3: two cents out from what you thought it would be
32:29
Speaker 3: when you went to the shelf versus at the checkout.
32:32
Speaker 3: Is that a major deal? Should we be forcing the
32:35
Speaker 3: supermarkets to then give us the item for free and
32:38
Speaker 3: a refund on the full price as well, which is
32:40
Speaker 3: what Consumrin's advance. N it's five to six mics in
32:44
Speaker 3: the studio. Hey Mike, do you know when you go
32:46
Speaker 3: to this do you go to the supermarket? No? Okay,
32:49
Speaker 3: so you wouldn't know about the price above the item
32:51
Speaker 3: below the item question. Apparently there's no law that says
32:54
Speaker 3: you have to put the price above or below. People
32:57
Speaker 3: get confused, end up paying something. They shot, do you reckon?
33:01
Speaker 16: Most people look at the price anyway. They look at
33:02
Speaker 16: the price roughly. Then you do the price per key.
33:06
Speaker 16: The thing is whether that's a bargain or not. My
33:09
Speaker 16: suggestion would be if you buy less crap, you've got
33:11
Speaker 16: more money for good stuff. How about that for an idea?
33:13
Speaker 3: You know you feed yourself?
33:15
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but I.
33:16
Speaker 16: Mean, well, this was the thing I'm getting infuriated. Yesterday
33:20
Speaker 16: Hipkins was in the house talking about and tomatoes are
33:23
Speaker 16: up and carriages it's seasonal, idiots.
33:27
Speaker 3: Yes, but they are more than you expect for the season.
33:30
Speaker 3: But here's the thing about food inflation. Don't buy it

33:34
Speaker 16: No, if you look at something and go look, that's
33:36
Speaker 16: too expensive this month, I'm not going to buy I'm
33:38
Speaker 16: going to buy something cheap. Buy something cheap.
33:40
Speaker 2: What a season.
33:42
Speaker 3: But what if the cheap thing is, you know, a
33:45
Speaker 3: pack of noodles and that's all you can give you? No,
33:48
Speaker 3: I see what.
33:48
Speaker 6: No.
33:48
Speaker 16: But when it comes to fruit and vegetables, for example,
33:51
Speaker 16: there's always something on sales.
33:53
Speaker 3: Always. Oh come on, Mike Hoskin. If you are paying
33:58
Speaker 3: too much in the supermarket, don't go there.
