Speaker 2: And then may not but not be ignored. Yeah, on
1:02
Speaker 2: those children the school strike, the Americans say they might
1:04
Speaker 2: have done it, but it would have been an exte
1:06
Speaker 2: says that we're investigating that.
1:09
Speaker 4: We of course never target civilian targets, but we're taking
1:13
Speaker 4: a look at investigating that.
1:14
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in the UK, starers stuck in the sorry mode.
1:17
Speaker 5: I made a mistake in appointing Peter Mundelson. I'd let
1:21
Speaker 5: me follow that up swiftly as I've done before, but
1:23
Speaker 5: I need to do it again with an apology to
1:26
Speaker 5: the victims of Epstein.
1:29
Speaker 2: How many times do you say? Sorry? Finally, this morning,
1:38
Speaker 2: for six years girl greug, the Pussycat Dolls have announced

1:43
Speaker 2: single and a world tour. Who's not going to that?
1:46
Speaker 2: Kensy's going?
1:47
Speaker 6: Aren't you?
1:47
Speaker 2: Kinsey? Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly White. You only
1:52
Speaker 2: know one of those names because he's only one that's famous.
1:55
Speaker 2: They've released a new track, a club song, and we'll
1:58
Speaker 2: kick off a string of live shows in June.
2:02
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on Early Edition with Ryan
2:06
Speaker 1: Bridge and One roof Love, Where You Live, News Talks Edbu.
2:11
Speaker 2: Talksb It's just got eight minutes after five. Great to
2:13
Speaker 2: have your company. Who's going to homegrown this weekend? Sounds
2:16
Speaker 2: like it'd be a bit of fun. Hey yesterday, Well,
2:18
Speaker 2: actually this week we've had a few things going on him.
2:21
Speaker 2: We've had a little bit on and Winston Peters was
2:23
Speaker 2: on My Herald show on Wednesday saying, oh, this will
2:27
Speaker 2: all be over before people think. And then yesterday I
2:30
Speaker 2: spoke to Al Gillespie. He's quite good. Al. He's saying that, no,
2:35
Speaker 2: that's nuts. This thing is not going to wrap up soon.
2:38
Speaker 2: And the problem is, you've got it's not just America
2:40
Speaker 2: that is involved in this war. It's also Israel, and
2:44
Speaker 2: it's also a run and they have a vote in
2:47
Speaker 2: this too, So the war will not be over when
2:49
Speaker 2: Donald Trump says it's over. And even once it's over,
2:52
Speaker 2: how do you get the straight open. That's the big
2:55
Speaker 2: problem that everyone's talking about. So overnight the International Energy Agency,
2:59
Speaker 2: this is the group that including US, that released all
3:02
Speaker 2: the strategic reserves yesterday and then the price kept going
3:05
Speaker 2: up anyway, that group, well they've come out and said
3:08
Speaker 2: this is the biggest ever disruption to global energy markets ever,
3:13
Speaker 2: which is quite a big call to make. So as
3:15
Speaker 2: I say, price still going up and overnight's still going
3:18
Speaker 2: up again. Brent crude futures above one hundred dollars a barrel,
3:22
Speaker 2: West Texas up eight percent to ninety four dollars Iran
3:25
Speaker 2: keeps hitting the cargo ships and the tankers in the strait.
3:29
Speaker 2: So when does this thing end? Well, I mean, how
3:31
Speaker 2: long is a piece of string really? If you zoom out.
3:33
Speaker 2: In the US, crude futures for April delivery now up
3:37
Speaker 2: more than thirty seven percent from February, since before the
3:41
Speaker 2: conflict began. Brent crude is thirty five percent higher than
3:45
Speaker 2: before the bombing. That's your latest ten AUF to five,
3:49
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge. So from oil to Gas we'll talk about
3:52
Speaker 2: that report and what it means for Method X and
3:55
Speaker 2: what it means for the Maui gas field. Next, News
3:57
Speaker 2: Talk zed Beach on.
3:59
Speaker 1: Your readio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan
4:04
Speaker 1: Bridge and one Root Love where you Live.
4:07
Speaker 2: News talks had been twelve past five. Remember the health
4:10
Speaker 2: data breaches? Do you even remember that? That was two
4:13
Speaker 2: weeks ago? Now, the health data breaches? And I was
4:17
Speaker 2: thinking this morning, you don't really get get a lot
4:19
Speaker 2: of health stuff, but you don't want to get a
4:20
Speaker 2: lot of bank data breaches, except if you're in the
4:23
Speaker 2: UK right now, customers using Lloyd's, Halifax and Bank of
4:27
Speaker 2: Scotland if you have the app on your phone, those
4:30
Speaker 2: customers were able to see other customers transactions. I know,
4:34
Speaker 2: it doesn't sound particularly great, does it. One woman says
4:36
Speaker 2: she could see six different users and tell what they
4:40
Speaker 2: were doing with their money. Another person said, I can
4:43
Speaker 2: see someone got paid six thousand pounds yesterday and had
4:46
Speaker 2: their national insurance numbers that had benefit payments in there.
4:50
Speaker 2: One woman freaked out because she thought she was given
4:53
Speaker 2: one million pounds deposited into her account, but it was
4:57
Speaker 2: just showing one million pounds deposited into someone else. This
5:00
Speaker 2: is account. So that was a bad day. Well good
5:02
Speaker 2: and bad day for her. I suppose anyway, Banks is
5:05
Speaker 2: sorry and we've fixed it. GUTWC report the Maui gas
5:10
Speaker 2: field could run dry by twenty twenty seven. Meth and
5:13
Speaker 2: X this is Tatanaki, largest gas user in the country,
5:15
Speaker 2: could shut early next year. Report was done for the
5:18
Speaker 2: Gas Industry Company. Basically says we're on the road to
5:21
Speaker 2: running out of natural stuff. Mike Casey rewiring alted oh
5:25
Speaker 2: CEO with me this morning morning.
5:26
Speaker 7: Mike, Good morning, Ryan. What wait to pick off a Friday?
5:29
Speaker 2: Hey? What do you does this tell us anything? We
5:32
Speaker 2: don't know, I mean, we know, we kind of know
5:33
Speaker 2: we're running short on gas. Don't we.
5:36
Speaker 7: I mean, I think this report basically tells us that
5:39
Speaker 7: the solution from the gas industry is more gas, and
5:42
Speaker 7: in reality, we need to figure out how to get
5:44
Speaker 7: New Zealanders off gas as fast as we can.
5:46
Speaker 2: But they have a point, don't they, That there's this
5:48
Speaker 2: turning point in the twenty thirties where we've got lots
5:52
Speaker 2: of demands still manufacturing, petrochemicals, food production. You can't transition overnight.
5:59
Speaker 7: It's going to be a tough transition. But I think
6:01
Speaker 7: the main thing is we have to look at what's
6:03
Speaker 7: in the best interests of everyday New Zealanders, and that's
6:05
Speaker 7: certainly going to be getting them off gas.
6:07
Speaker 6: I think they're.
6:08
Speaker 7: Overestimating the amount of demands that is going to be
6:11
Speaker 7: for there is going to be four gas and obviously
6:14
Speaker 7: trying to justify energy gas terminals and things like that.
6:17
Speaker 7: But the real short answer here is that gas is
6:19
Speaker 7: a really expensive, inefficient technology, especially in our homes, and
6:23
Speaker 7: the more that we can do to electrify those homes,
6:25
Speaker 7: get our hot water off gas, get our spatial heating
6:28
Speaker 7: off gas, and get our cooking off gas, the better
6:30
Speaker 7: it's going to be for New Zealanders.
6:31
Speaker 2: And where do we get the electricity from So.
6:35
Speaker 7: This is one of the big things, right you're referring
6:37
Speaker 7: heads to the dry year in particular. Yeah, yes, So
6:42
Speaker 7: we need to look at very seriously at the energy
6:44
Speaker 7: system of New Zealand and how do we build out
6:46
Speaker 7: the cheapest and basically the most affordable energy system we can.
6:50
Speaker 7: I believe that's certainly a rollout of renewables. And when
6:52
Speaker 7: you look at the renewables that are in the pipeline now,
6:54
Speaker 7: I think the dry your problem is largely going to
6:56
Speaker 7: solve itself provided we make sure that the renewables that
6:59
Speaker 7: are cone entered and are looking to be built R
7:02
Speaker 7: and D built and they're built quite quickly.
7:03
Speaker 2: But even if you look at the most renewable you
7:06
Speaker 2: know as solar in Europe, et cetera, I mean, there
7:09
Speaker 2: are times when, as everybody says, the wind doesn't blow,
7:13
Speaker 2: the sun doesn't shine, the rain doesn't fall, et cetera.
7:16
Speaker 7: It's a classic fossil fuel industry line, isn't it. But
7:19
Speaker 7: you know, if it doesn't rain and the sun doesn't shine,
7:22
Speaker 7: you're usually in a pretty interesting situation. I think with
7:26
Speaker 7: the weather, the long story shortness we have, we have
7:28
Speaker 7: these amazing hydro dams that are great batteries, and when
7:32
Speaker 7: we're looking about seasonal shortages, we're always going to have
7:35
Speaker 7: sun throughout the season, and so one of the big
7:37
Speaker 7: things we can do really is generate more energy, more
7:40
Speaker 7: electricity through renewables, so that we can drain those dams
7:43
Speaker 7: a little bit less and ultimately hold onto our water
7:46
Speaker 7: for longer and make our system way more secure.
7:49
Speaker 2: At what date, on what date will we have enough
7:53
Speaker 2: renewable energy to power the entire country, including all of
7:57
Speaker 2: the aforementioned you know, private sector stuff that needs to
8:01
Speaker 2: be taken care of.
8:03
Speaker 7: That is something that's going to be quite difficult to answer,
8:06
Speaker 7: and I think there may always be the need for
8:08
Speaker 7: a small amount of fossil fuels for that backup. For
8:11
Speaker 7: the last a five ten percent of our energy system
8:15
Speaker 7: doesn't really need.
8:16
Speaker 8: To be gas.
8:17
Speaker 7: I think we've been burning gas in our electricity system
8:19
Speaker 7: because it's been there and it's been convenient to do so.
8:22
Speaker 7: We have other fossil fuels in New Zealand as well,
8:24
Speaker 7: like diesel and coal, And our argument really is it's
8:27
Speaker 7: roll out renewables. Let's be pragmatic though, make sure that
8:30
Speaker 7: at the end of it that if we do start
8:32
Speaker 7: to get into a situation where we run out more
8:34
Speaker 7: than that we should use the We should use the
8:37
Speaker 7: fossil fuels that we already import to make sure that
8:39
Speaker 7: we keep the lights on and keep our economy going.
8:41
Speaker 2: All right, might appreciate your time. Mike case Is CEO
8:44
Speaker 2: of rewiring ALT do thoughts on that nine two nine
8:48
Speaker 2: two Newstalk z'd be homegoing.
8:50
Speaker 1: Next, News and Views you Trust to start your day.
8:54
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Bryan Bridge and One Room Love
8:59
Speaker 1: Where you Live.
9:00
Speaker 2: Talk'd be five nineteen and we're going to bring back
9:02
Speaker 2: the Muldoon era Carla's days Well. Shane Jones was asked
9:05
Speaker 2: about it last night.
9:06
Speaker 8: Kiwi's expect their government to be proactive. Kiwi's expect us
9:12
Speaker 8: to deal with the fact that other countries are holding
9:15
Speaker 8: their fuel. They're introducing export restrictions. So what we need
9:20
Speaker 8: to do is ensure that we've exhaustively looked at every option,
9:24
Speaker 8: so if things do deteriorate, if we make decisions, they're
9:27
Speaker 8: made on the basis of quality information.
9:30
Speaker 2: No, there you go. They are looking, they're getting advice
9:33
Speaker 2: on it, but it's not currently one of the active
9:35
Speaker 2: options that they are going to push the button on,
9:38
Speaker 2: so we don't need to freak out just yet. Five
9:40
Speaker 2: nineteen Ryan Bread Home Ground Festival is back, but it's
9:43
Speaker 2: forgotten its roots to some fam Tomorrow cats off in Hamilton,

Speaker 6: Oh mate, we are. We're amped and readies again.
10:12
Speaker 2: My friend. What's the lineup looking like this year?
10:16
Speaker 9: I would say it would be the strongest line up
10:18
Speaker 9: we've ever put together. We've we've some men, managed to
10:21
Speaker 9: secure some some pretty good acts like you know, Group
10:25
Speaker 9: Super Groove and Flo My Pretties are coming back. It's
10:28
Speaker 9: pretty special and heading in with Hallow Sailor fifty years
10:32
Speaker 9: in the making. I mean, we've got the young and
10:33

10:36
Speaker 2: And are you glad you're not in Wellington?
10:41
Speaker 6: We're some beautiful weather at Hamilton. It has been so nice.
10:45
Speaker 6: I'm pretty happy.
10:46
Speaker 3: Pick.
10:47
Speaker 9: The people on the ground have been complaining our hot
10:49
Speaker 9: of this, so yeah, I'm pretty happy to be a
10:52
Speaker 9: beback home.
10:53
Speaker 2: What are the numbers looking like for you so far, Andrew?
10:56
Speaker 2: Ticket sales wise.
10:58
Speaker 6: They're looking really good. Actually, they're looking really good.
11:00
Speaker 9: We're we're on trajectory to do what we're trying to do,
11:04
Speaker 9: so yeah, let's hope we can get to there at
11:06
Speaker 9: the end.
11:07
Speaker 2: You're going to make some money, well, tess.
11:10
Speaker 6: Sir, that's the goal.
11:11
Speaker 9: I'm not quite sure if we're ever going to make
11:12
Speaker 9: money at the end and events, you know, prices keep
11:14
Speaker 9: going up on things and everything keeps happening, but we'll
11:17
Speaker 9: do the best for care.
11:18
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you about that. The situation within
11:21
Speaker 2: the Middle East. You know, the air fear is going up,
11:23
Speaker 2: You've got petrol going up, diesel going up, all that
11:26
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Does it have an impact on your
11:28
Speaker 2: years or is that something for a worry for another day?
11:31
Speaker 4: Oh?
11:32
Speaker 6: Look, I think they'd be worried for another day.
11:34
Speaker 9: You know, we're pretty fortunate that everybody, if we've got
11:37
Speaker 9: is local, so they're a flying or driving and that's
11:40
Speaker 9: already been locked in and done.
11:42
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think those sort of impactsful, we'll roll
11:45
Speaker 6: through probably.
11:46
Speaker 9: Twelve months of time and hopefully by then it's all
11:48
Speaker 9: over and we're not dealing with it.
11:49
Speaker 2: Great to have a festival that just keeps going. I
11:51
Speaker 2: know you've moved cities, but you know you're still going.
11:54
Speaker 2: And I know Woe Matter is coming back, but Splor's
11:56
Speaker 2: closing down. What how do you keep one running and
11:59
Speaker 2: make sure that you're not having to throw it on
12:01
Speaker 2: the bin because of the cost.
12:04
Speaker 9: Oh look, it gets harder and harder, and I'm not
12:06
Speaker 9: going to ale about that. You know, costs and everything
12:09
Speaker 9: keep going up, and there's only so much you can
12:11
Speaker 9: charge for a ticket, so.
12:12
Speaker 6: You know, the bit in the middle just keeps getting
12:15
Speaker 6: smaller and smaller.
12:17
Speaker 9: So yeah, no, it is tough, but you know, people
12:22
Speaker 9: that are still doing it are still fighting the fine
12:23
Speaker 9: fight and doing the best they can to hold it
12:25
Speaker 9: together that for that period of time until things go
12:28
Speaker 9: back to normal, and then we'll be away again.
12:31
Speaker 2: Hey, good luck for tomorrow.
12:33
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you so much having us, And you know.
12:36
Speaker 2: Don't worry. You still got tickets left. I understand too,
12:39
Speaker 2: so you can grab one if you're in the troll.
12:40
Speaker 2: Andrew Truck Andrew Tuck, I should say Homegroun Festival found
12:43
Speaker 2: that it is twenty three after five Ryan Bridge. The
12:47
Speaker 2: sort of Wellington related because it's about cities that like
12:50
Speaker 2: to pump raw sewage into their waterways, which we do
12:54
Speaker 2: in Auckland as well. Look at the muscle farmers christ
12:56
Speaker 2: Church considering this week that their muscle farmers upset about
12:59
Speaker 2: it there and everyone talks about the fines. The farmers
13:03
Speaker 2: came out and said, why aren't we finding these councils
13:06
Speaker 2: or these authorities for doing this? Well, Welsh Water is
13:09
Speaker 2: being fined one hundred and twenty five million dollars. Just
13:14
Speaker 2: let that sink in massive amount of money, a serious
13:18
Speaker 2: unacceptable sewer discharge. So forty four that forty four million pounds.
13:24
Speaker 2: Forty million pounds that is to reduce the spells, reduce
13:27
Speaker 2: the environmental damage. Four million pounds is to improve the
13:30
Speaker 2: water quality. Thames Water was fined two hundred and eighty
13:35
Speaker 2: million New Zealand dollars for doing one of these. So
13:38
Speaker 2: we don't find anything like that, do we? The question
13:41
Speaker 2: is whether you would want to, because you're essentially just
13:43
Speaker 2: finding yourself like you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Surely
13:47
Speaker 2: the money would be better spent on I don't know,
13:49
Speaker 2: fixing the pipes in the first place. Twenty four after five,
13:53
Speaker 2: News Talk said B, We're live to the UK after
13:56
Speaker 2: news at five point thirty.
13:57
Speaker 1: The early edition Full the Show podcast on Iard Radio
14:01
Speaker 1: powered by NEWSTALKSB.
14:04
Speaker 2: News TALKSB twenty six minutes after five. We're learning a
14:08
Speaker 2: few hard truths this week, can't we and the old
14:10
Speaker 2: saying rings true. You don't know what you've got till
14:12
Speaker 2: it's gone. Parties on the left, parties on the right,
14:16
Speaker 2: all wanting more oil this week. Apparently it's now in
14:19
Speaker 2: vogue again. Forget climate change. People need to get to work.
14:22
Speaker 2: Turns out actually quite important. A decent supply and a
14:26
Speaker 2: stable price. We're a long way off from that, straight
14:29
Speaker 2: opening and running at full capacity again. Trump's talking victory.
14:32
Speaker 2: Winston says the war will be over before people think.
14:35
Speaker 2: But there are sea mines, there are rocket launches, there
14:38
Speaker 2: are drones hitting the Strait. No shipping company or insurers
14:41
Speaker 2: going near there for a good while. Yet the uprising
14:44
Speaker 2: we were told would happen hasn't happened. We've got the
14:47
Speaker 2: old boss's son in charge and they've just killed his mum, dad,
14:50
Speaker 2: and most of his family. So he's not going to
14:52
Speaker 2: give up anytime soon, is he not going to play nice?
14:55
Speaker 2: More important than oil is food, and we've got the
14:58
Speaker 2: Watties plant closures this week. The frozen veggies are grown here,
15:02
Speaker 2: peas and beans like peaches before them. There'll be some
15:05
Speaker 2: cheaper imported alternative, no doubt, filling the shells. And the
15:09
Speaker 2: farmer's complaints regulation. You heard it on the show this week. Regulation.
15:13
Speaker 2: They are drowning in it. Paper work up the wazoo.
15:16
Speaker 2: It was the same story with pork. We heard the
15:19
Speaker 2: same complaints from that industry. And again you don't know
15:22
Speaker 2: what you've got till it's gone. So once this crisis
15:25
Speaker 2: is over, perhaps we remember how important food and oil
15:29
Speaker 2: are to our daily lives and stop demonizing the very
15:32
Speaker 2: people trying to keep our tummies and our gas tanks full.
15:37
Speaker 2: Ray and Bridge twenty seven after five. Just a little
15:41
Speaker 2: update on what the Aussies are doing with all of this.
15:45
Speaker 2: In the house yesterday. This is over in Canberra. There
15:49
Speaker 2: was a bit of back and forth about it because
15:52
Speaker 2: they again in the name of climate change, they restricted
15:56
Speaker 2: higher sulfur fuel. It's what they call it dirty of fuel,
16:00
Speaker 2: and they restricted that because they didn't want to use
16:02
Speaker 2: it in Australia because Australia is trying to be more green,
16:05
Speaker 2: and so they just exported it to countries. Because they've
16:08
Speaker 2: still got a refinery by the refineries, I should say
16:11
Speaker 2: Ampole's refinery in Brisbane, they are allowed to sell it
16:14
Speaker 2: to countries that have lower standards and so they've been
16:17
Speaker 2: doing this and doing it quite successfully. But they are
16:20
Speaker 2: now saying we're going to allow the dirty fuel back
16:23
Speaker 2: into Australia and we're going to do that for the
16:25
Speaker 2: next sixty days they reckon. That's one hundred million liters
16:29
Speaker 2: of supply. And yesterday in the House this was cris
16:32
Speaker 2: Bow and the Energy Minister, the.
16:34
Speaker 10: Practical action to help farmers, to help regional Australians through
16:38
Speaker 10: this immediate crisis.
16:39
Speaker 2: Here's albanezi big message for every Australian is don't panic.
16:43
Speaker 10: The supplies are there.
16:44
Speaker 11: Not a supply problem, the government says, but a distribution problem.
16:48
Speaker 11: Panic buying, emptying service station supplies faster than petrol tankers
16:53
Speaker 11: can refill them.
16:54
Speaker 2: So there you go. The message is don't panic. And
16:58
Speaker 2: Albaniz he kept repeating it at nausea yesterday, as Nichola
17:01
Speaker 2: Willis does here. So don't run out and buy lots
17:03
Speaker 2: of fuel because you think everything the world's going to end,
17:06
Speaker 2: because you help the world end by doing so. Yeah,
17:10

18:39
Speaker 2: When we have lost our independence. We export crude oil

Speaker 2: overseas to get it refined. What the labor and the
18:45
Speaker 2: Greens were thinking of shutting a refinery before we had sustainable,
18:49
Speaker 2: clean energy to take the place of hydroc carbons was
18:52
Speaker 2: a big mistake. I mean, they, to be fair, didn't
18:54
Speaker 2: shut it down, but they just didn't stop it from happening. Three.

Speaker 2: go parify whether they were still going to whether he's
21:02
Speaker 2: still mulling it.
21:03
Speaker 14: No, he's still mulling it. A lot of work still
21:05
Speaker 14: to do. He did say he had a three am brainwave,
21:07
Speaker 14: though other media have picked this up. He said he
21:09
Speaker 14: had a three am brainwave that actually we should spend
21:12
Speaker 14: less money on other projects and put money into the cathedral.
21:14
Speaker 14: So we've got to turn around there from the mayor.

22:31
Speaker 2: You've already complimented me on my new T shirt. Thank you.
22:34
Speaker 12: Yes.
22:34
Speaker 2: So I went the other day to a shop in
22:37
Speaker 2: Saint Luke's mall. I know, but the mall, and I
22:44
Speaker 2: bought this T shirt. I was on the phone the
22:46
Speaker 2: entire time I was in the store. It was quite
22:48
Speaker 2: It was one of those like kind of you know,
22:50
Speaker 2: work calls, it's quite intense. Anyway, I left the store
22:53
Speaker 2: and sort of realized once i'd left that i'd bought
22:55
Speaker 2: the T shirt. Didn't you know when you're not really
22:58
Speaker 2: thinking about.
22:58
Speaker 15: It, fantas Did you check your receipt They could have
23:02
Speaker 15: charged you about five thousand dollars.
23:03
Speaker 2: Well, probably not that much into account.
23:05
Speaker 15: That's kind of rude to the store assistant kind of
23:08
Speaker 15: look at you like, no rude on the phone.
23:11
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't like that. I sort of took it
23:14
Speaker 2: away and I was like, you know, think sorry. Sorry.
23:17
Speaker 15: Actually a lot of people you are very very nice
23:19
Speaker 15: to me. I don't tell you this, but people who
23:22
Speaker 15: you don't know, just randoms, you know, like the public.
23:24
Speaker 15: They will say to me, oh, you work with Ryan.
23:26
Speaker 15: I saw him he was out swimming or he walked past,
23:30
Speaker 15: and he gave me this beaming smile. I didn't know him,
23:32
Speaker 15: and I thought, that's the kind of person he is.
23:35
Speaker 2: No, that's that's fake it. Yeah, as soon as I
23:40
Speaker 2: get home. The world is an ahole. Hey. Finally making
23:46
Speaker 2: progress on this Arabus memorial Neva.
23:48
Speaker 15: Yes, good news, Ministry for Culture and Heritage has released
23:51
Speaker 15: a concept design. Now this memorial obviously is going to
23:54
Speaker 15: honor the two hundred and fifty seven people who died
23:57
Speaker 15: when in New Zealand flight crashed into Mount Erebis four
24:00
Speaker 15: six years ago. Now it is going to be in
24:02
Speaker 15: christ Church, the Craycroft Reserve that was a chosen side
24:05
Speaker 15: as we know that came out over Auckland. But the
24:09
Speaker 15: design is developed by Studio Pacific Architecture and apparently you know,
24:13
Speaker 15: the victim's family families, the Christchurch City Council and all
24:17
Speaker 15: the other groups have been asked for feedback and that
24:19
Speaker 15: will be considered by the designers as well, So that's.
24:21
Speaker 2: All good, good stuff. How's the weather shower is possibly heavy?
24:24
Speaker 1: Twenty seven?
24:24
Speaker 15: Twenty seven is high today, it's getting hot now, nor
24:27
Speaker 15: that he's a whipping in today. But then watch out
24:30
Speaker 15: because tomorrow the temperature are going to drop because the
24:32
Speaker 15: Southerly's coming in and it's going to be high of
24:34
Speaker 15: about twenty two. And yes, I know it sounds like
24:37
Speaker 15: I know what I'm talking about.
24:38
Speaker 2: Really did change, he did quite convincing Neva great performance.
24:43
Speaker 2: Ten out of ten seventeen to six news talks. There'd
24:46
Speaker 2: be Vincent London.
24:47
Speaker 1: Next International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
24:52
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business.
24:55
Speaker 2: You talk FB it is accorded to sex. It's got
24:57
Speaker 2: to Vincent macaviny a UK europe correspondent Vincent around a
25:01
Speaker 2: financial district in Dubai in the Britell they were already
25:04
Speaker 2: starting to leave the region more presumably will do so now, Yeah,
25:09
Speaker 2: that's right.
25:09
Speaker 16: This morning a Ranian drone crashed in the Dubai financial district.
25:14
Speaker 16: Thankfully no one was injured, but this has prompted financial
25:18
Speaker 16: institutions to shutter offices, instructing staff to tell home and
25:24
Speaker 16: to stay at home work from there, and we know
25:26
Speaker 16: many of them are continuing to try to leave the area.
25:30
Speaker 16: This is after Iran said that financial institutions were now
25:35
Speaker 16: an option for their strikes after one of their own
25:37
Speaker 16: banks was hit. And it's yet another blow to Dubai
25:42
Speaker 16: and the perception of it as being a safe sort
25:44
Speaker 16: of haven in the Middle East. And we've received as
25:48
Speaker 16: well in the past few hours a statement from the
25:51
Speaker 16: new Aya Toller. We're not sure how injured he has
25:55
Speaker 16: been in the conflicts of the past few days, but
25:58
Speaker 16: in his message, Moktawa Kamena has basically said that he's
26:04
Speaker 16: going to keep going as he is, that they will
26:06
Speaker 16: keep locking the Strait of Hormuz, and no sign that
26:09
Speaker 16: he is willing to back down from the growing tensions
26:12
Speaker 16: in the region.
26:13
Speaker 2: In Vincent, what about this British man charged with cybercrime laws.
26:19
Speaker 16: Yeah, this is quite remarkable. I think it shows that
26:21
Speaker 16: you have to take everything coming out of Dubai really
26:24
Speaker 16: with a pinch of salt, particularly from the army of
26:28
Speaker 16: influencers that live there, because they are all under strict
26:31
Speaker 16: watch from the authorities and they cannot post what is
26:35
Speaker 16: really going on.
26:36
Speaker 2: We now understand.
26:37
Speaker 16: A British man, we believe that he is in his sixties,
26:40
Speaker 16: has been charged under cybercrime laws in Dubai simply for
26:44
Speaker 16: having filmed Iranian missiles over the city and posting it
26:48
Speaker 16: on social media. They don't want anyone putting that kind
26:51
Speaker 16: of footage out, it seems, and they are charging people
26:55
Speaker 16: because of the sort of alleged crime, as it were,
26:58
Speaker 16: of bringing the sort of reputation of to buy into dispute.
27:01
Speaker 16: So it shows the importance of a free and open
27:03
Speaker 16: democracy and society with a media that can operate in
27:07
Speaker 16: a sort of critical time like this, because actually what
27:09
Speaker 16: they're doing it's classic barber Strids and effect. It's attacking
27:12
Speaker 16: more attention to what's going on by them trying to
27:15
Speaker 16: hide what's really happening to people there have you.
27:18
Speaker 2: Are you seeing anything about the defense sectary talking about
27:20
Speaker 2: the UK considering or looking at options for defending the Strake, I.
27:26
Speaker 16: Mean there is, you know, the UK is sort of
27:28
Speaker 16: keeping its hand very open as to what it can do.
27:31
Speaker 16: I don't really see that we have a navy these
27:35
Speaker 16: days that has a capacity to do that. I mean
27:36
Speaker 16: we've sent one chip, the Hremus Dragon, which is the
27:40
Speaker 16: destroyer down to the Mediterranean. It's going to be involved
27:43
Speaker 16: in the defense of Cyprus. We are preparing, we think
27:49
Speaker 16: an aircraft carrier to potentially be sent to the region.
27:53
Speaker 16: It would require escort vessels and a submarine as well,
27:56
Speaker 16: but the idea of sort of using that to kind
27:59
Speaker 16: of take ships through. I think that they're very reluctant
28:02
Speaker 16: to send into the Strait of One Moves because of
28:05
Speaker 16: how much of a target those vassals would be, so
28:08
Speaker 16: at the moment, I think that's kind of speculation, but
28:12
Speaker 16: they're trying to say that all options really are on
28:13
Speaker 16: the table to try and stabilize markets.
28:15
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Vincent mcaviny a UK Europe corresponding eleven to six.
28:20
Speaker 2: Another minister's oil group meeting in Wellington this morning. Petrol
28:23
Speaker 2: up over three bucks. The leader for some Brent crewed
28:25
Speaker 2: up again overnight. Goldman Sachs. We've been following their forecast
28:29
Speaker 2: that we'll never put another one out and the one
28:31
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars a barrel worst case scenario is
28:34
Speaker 2: still alive option though you'd have to have a lot
28:36
Speaker 2: more disruption and ongoing Terry Collins, AA fuel spokesperson with
28:40
Speaker 2: US this morning morning, Terry. So the Carlos Days thing,
28:45
Speaker 2: we're are long, long long way off that, aren't.
28:47
Speaker 4: We we are. It's actually a good idea, it's a
28:52
Speaker 4: plain We've got a couple of things. We patroling Demand
28:55
Speaker 4: Restraint Act which allowed to Carls Pay's rationing books to
29:00
Speaker 4: very old fashioned. But remember in those days we can
29:02
Speaker 4: have things like working from home and all the type
29:04
Speaker 4: of ieta that we do today that makes us no
29:06
Speaker 4: productivity in other ways. But we've also had a new
29:09
Speaker 4: Zealand Fuel Security Plan which was updated last year. These
29:12
Speaker 4: are things that kept in the back pocket should something
29:15
Speaker 4: like this happen, they've dusted off, they looked at and
29:18
Speaker 4: it's a plan ready to go. We just say it
29:20
Speaker 4: never has to be implemented. But at least we've got
29:22
Speaker 4: a plan and we've got legislation that if needed, we
29:25
Speaker 4: can implement it.
29:26
Speaker 2: Terry. We've got a month on the land and a
29:28
Speaker 2: month on the water and supply beyond that is a
29:33
Speaker 2: supply actually being affected or are we still expecting that
29:36
Speaker 2: we will have a flow coming in?
29:40
Speaker 4: Look self career to talk about looking after your selves first. Basically,
29:45
Speaker 4: they use that eighty five percent of the product they
29:48
Speaker 4: were fine if there's a big reduction, so twenty percent. Globally,
29:52
Speaker 4: they're basically saying, we come first. We're a large economic country.
29:56
Speaker 4: We need this world to continue the commerce. Unfortunately, we
29:59
Speaker 4: get about forty eight percent of our BEFOGN products from
30:02
Speaker 4: South Korea, so we would need to look for different markets.
30:06
Speaker 2: Would which markets and also a.
30:09
Speaker 4: Slip or Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, we get a tiny bit
30:13
Speaker 4: out of place like in the US. But basically we'll
30:16
Speaker 4: be in the same scramble as many other countries.
30:18
Speaker 2: Could we be in the situation where our for your
30:20
Speaker 2: companies look at the price and go, I'm going to
30:22
Speaker 2: sell it to someone else.
30:24
Speaker 4: No, no, how for your companies are looking after ourselves.
30:27
Speaker 4: We're just trading in a global environment.
30:31
Speaker 2: Very good, Terry. Oh, by the way, the price today
30:34
Speaker 2: and the price that's happened overnight, and that Goldman Sacks
30:37
Speaker 2: update on the forecast, any any more thoughts on where
30:41
Speaker 2: it might go?
30:43
Speaker 4: This is so unpredictable. I've seen changes in a bearable
30:47
Speaker 4: thirty dollars over twenty four hours. I had an interview
30:49
Speaker 4: with a journalist a fifteen minute and it changed fifteen dollars.
30:53
Speaker 4: So how you can predict or will lend who knows.
30:57
Speaker 4: I do know, though, One thing history taught me is
31:00
Speaker 4: America tends to underestimate how long they stay in conflicts.
31:03
Speaker 4: So I'm very concerned when they talk about weeks when
31:06
Speaker 4: it looks like it could be months.
31:08
Speaker 2: Cherry all that in two minutes twenty seven from you
31:10
Speaker 2: appreciate it fifteen minutes. Who does those anymore? News Talk
31:14
Speaker 2: said be Terry Collins AA eight to six.
31:18
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day early

Speaker 2: haven't spoken about this morning is Paul Eagle and Wellington.
31:30
Speaker 2: He was running for mayor there for it while he
31:32
Speaker 2: was an MP, and he was running for mayor there
