  Speaker 3: talking about the divorce that he's currently going through the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: separation with Leon McDonald. You don't really know what happened,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: do you. They don't go into specifics about exactly what
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it was. They said, it's not it's nothing to do
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: with the player selection. It's nothing to do with the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: clash of personalities. It's just we have different ideas about
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Just over the period of time since we started coaching together.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: We just feel like hasn't quite clicked. We just quite
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: heaven lined up where we need you on the rugby
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: side of it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: On the rugby side of it, Okay, I don't know.

  Speaker 3: We'd love to know. Do you think the fans need
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to know the ins and outs. Does any you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: do you care that much? Do you need to know
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: specifically what went wrong? Because I'm curious, but you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: is it TMI? Nine two nine two, Give me a
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: text this morning. Also, they've got about seven coaches once
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: you take into account the line out coach and the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: kicking coach and I don't know, running onto the field coach.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: What else? How many do you need? How many? How
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: many people does it take to change the light bulb?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: You know? Is that too many coaches? Anyway? Nine two
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: nine two, give me a text this morning. We'd love
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to hear from you. Also, you might have seen this
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: or heard this in the news just now. This is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a story that's come out this morning the New Zealand
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Medical Journal. There's an opinion piece in there. It's an
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: editorial written by four researchers from the Association of Salaried
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Medical Specialists. Why do you care about this? Well, they're
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: basically saying we're not giving enough money to health. This
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: is health that gets thirty billion dollars a year, the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: bottomless pit that just keeps taking you basically might as
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: well take a bag of cash and just light it
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: on fire, because that's that's pretty much what happens in health,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and they're saying not enough money has gone and even
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: with the extra one point seven billion that they got
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: in the last budget, not enough, not good enough, And
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you'll basically be cutting into frontline services because you've got
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: your less de levy going in there, cutting into your
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: frontline services. So I mean, I just think we're all
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: living longer. You know, there's a story out today in
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the UK they've approved a new Alzheimer's drug will reduce
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Alzheimer's cognitive to grind by twenty seven percent. We've also
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: got all these obesity drugs which will they reckon almost
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: wipe out obesity one day. So we're all living longer.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: We've all got these medicines to keep us living longer.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: It's going to cost money to to do that. You know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: that's just the reality. You want to live longer, you've
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: got to pay for it. And that is essentially what
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: is happening to our health system has been for a
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: long time. Eleven minutes after five news talks, You've been the.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swiss City, New Zealand's
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: furniture beds and a playing store news talk.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Sai'd be Starbucks is getting a new boss, and he's
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: found himself already before he started in hot Water. I'll
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: tell you about that in a second. Thirteen after five. Now,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Karmala Harris will formally accept the Democratic nomination for president today.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: This is at the DNC in Chicago. It comes as
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy, who's that independent third candidate, is expected
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to drop out of the race today and endorse Donald Trump.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Simon Marx is FSN's correspondent at the DNC in Chicago. Simon,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: thanks for being with us this morning. Great to have
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: you back on the show. Good to be back, Ryan Simon.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Let's start with the DNC. What are we expecting from
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Carmela today?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, the most important political speech
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: of her life. I mean, that's often a cliche, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: it certainly isn't on this occasion. Kamala Harris has to
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: capitalize on the incredible sense of electricity and desire in
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: the room for this convention to end on a high.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: It has moved from the Obamas speaking a couple of
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: nights ago to her running mate Tim Walls captivating the
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: audience last night with that speech that very much portrayed
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: himself as a high school football coach who was now
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: coaching Democrats in preparing for the fourth quarter of the game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: He wanted them to go out and fight for every
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: single inch and every single yard. And so now it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Kamala Harris's turn to introduce herself in detail to those
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Americans who have not followed her career, even as vice
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: president with a tremendous degree of regularity, but also to
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: inspire hire Democrats to get out and work, as Barack
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Obama put it, like they've never worked before in order
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: to try and eke out a win over Donald Trump.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: I think this is going to be a speech that
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: is very big on large inspirational promises and perhaps not
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: quite as thick in terms of policy prescriptions. This this
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: convention really has been all about one central theme and
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: that's more platable to average Americans than Donald Trump and
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: JdE events, And so far in that regard, it's worked.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Robert If Kennedy expected to pull out of the race
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: today and endorse Trump, does that change the result? Do
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: you think?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: It has the potential to have an impact. There's no
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: question about that. I mean, it's often been debated ever
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: since Robert F. Kennedy got into this race, first as
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: a Democrat, of course, challenging Joe Biden, then deciding he
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: was getting no where in that regard and so he
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: became an independent. It's often been debated where the most
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: of his supporters, and he's getting you know, between eight
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: and ten percent in the polls, are likely Trump voters
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: or likely Biden voters. Now, I think most analysts think
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: that given some of Robert F. Kennedy's positions, he draws
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: more support away from Donald Trump than he does from
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden. So an endorsement of Donald Trump will certainly
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: help him at a time when Kamala Harris is hoping
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: to leave Chicago with a huge bounce in the opinion
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: polls that she can then try to maintain and perhaps
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: even extend. It's something that Donald Trump desperately needs at
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: the end of a week that obviously has been all
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: about Kamala Harris, because that's the nature of a convention
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: that is a four day made for TV spectacular. Whether
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: it appreciably changes the outcome of this election is just
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: too early to know. You know, this is still a
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: fifty to fifty country so it could make a big difference,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: but we need to factor in what kind of impact
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Kamala Harrison, Tim Willfalls have had this week here, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: we still don't know that because obviously the convention is
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: still underweight.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll hear from Kamla Harris today, Simon, Thank
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you for that. Simon Mark's FSN correspondent at the DNC
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in as Chicago for US. It has just gone seventeen
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: minutes after five o'clock. Just a really interesting number from yesterday.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: The vote is under thirty in the United States. Get this,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: This is from June. Trump was getting forty percent of
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the under thirty vote. This is in June, Trump forty percent,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Biden forty six percent, so a six point lead for Biden. There.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Flip that to now and Trump's thirty eight thirty eight
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: percent and Harris is fifty six percent, so an eighteen
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: point gap. So it just goes to show that that
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the youth vote U turn is real and happening in
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the States. Eighteen after five, Ryan Bridge, Starbucks, I promised
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you about this. So first of all, the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: boss of Starbucks. It's a big company, one hundred billion dollars,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: so it's you know, you're going to get paid a lot. Interestingly,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the base salary, because his details have been revealed, one
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: point six million US dollars. Not much, but it's the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: bonuses and the equity, the potential for one hundred million
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: dollars a year in his first year. Anyway, that's not
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: even the best part of the story. This is Brian Nickel.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: His contract details have been revealed. It's the private jet
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: in the contract. That's that's Scott. Starbucks customers really upset
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: because you have to suck on those stupid plastic straws.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And this guy apparently lives in Newport Beach in California,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the office in Seattle, Washington. That's sixteen hundred kilometers away
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: in eighteen hour drive, and he has to be in
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: the office three days a week, so do the mass
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: on that private jet there and back every time. And
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: people are saying, that's just, you know, don't talk about
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: sustainability and then flying a private jet. Nineteen ninety two
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: The number of.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Text the first word on the News of the Day
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: furniture beds and a play at store News Talk City.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: You study out this morning looking at our brains. What
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: they've found inside them, which is not human material, will
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: shock you. We'll get to that shortly. Right now, the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: government is progressing a second Resource Management Act Amendment Bill.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: This is they say, going to drive economic growth and productivity.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: The big changes here for the farming sector, highly productive land.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: They're going to allow the construction of greenhouses or indoor
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: primary production facilities, and they are also going to allow
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: you to build new infrastructure like soul Of Farms on
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: highly productive land in New Zealand. Joining us to discuss
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: this morning, Mark Hooper, National board member and RMA spokesperson
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: at Fed Farmers Mark, good morning, good morning, Good to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: have you on the show. These are good changes. I'm
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: assuming that you will be welcoming them.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, I think the bigger picture here is to
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: see that the resource management reform program is kind of
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: on track. So you know, we've had this series of changes.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It goes back to the Repair of the Natural Built
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Environment Act, and then we've had the fast tracked legislation.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: We've had Resource Management Amendment Bill one and was signaled
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: that we get Bill two. And so the bigger picture
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: is of course a full replacement of the Resource Management Act,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: which seems to be on the cards and is signaled
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: in this as well. And so as we kind of
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: continue on on that program, we see kind of incremental
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: changes occurring, and maybe they've been focused around fixing up
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: what you would call kind of unworkable rules to some extent.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: So we saw quite a lot of that that affected
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the agriculture sector and Resource Management Bill one and this
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: change for Resource Management build too. I guess it's perhaps
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: perhaps less significant broadly, but the key thing here is
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: that it's really good to see that the national policy
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: statements a highly productive land has been addressed. There are
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: some concerns, broader concerns around it, and there's some specific concerns,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: and what they've done is targeted here a couple of
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: specific concerns.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: The soul where there was what you can do on
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: highly productive land because I imagine that if you want
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to get stuff done at the moment, there's a whole
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: bunch of hoops you have to jump through.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it was an area where on these specific
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: things there was just a lack of clarity as to
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: what the consenting pathway might be right. And so the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: concern is for a glasshouse or indoor farming kind of scenario.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: You're not necessarily using the soil of that highly productive land,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: and so that National Policy Statement kind of linked up
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the highly productive land with being highly productive soils. So
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: if you put an intensive food production facility on a
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: piece of highly productive land, but you're not using the soil,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: you can see that there's a little bit of a
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: little bit of a lack of clarity. They're a little
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: bit of ambiguity as to whether it fits the purposes
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: of the National Policy Statement or not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Right, So that's why they're having to come up with
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: these kind of interim fixes if you like. This is
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the government progressing the second Resource Management Amendment Bill, which
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: is going to change a couple of things around highly
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: productive land. Mark. Thank you very much for your time
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: this morning, Mark Cooper, who is with Fed Farmers. It
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is twenty four after five.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: The early edition Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Newstalks at Me.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Twenty six minutes after five, Shane Jones has given quite
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a fiery speech. This is the general debate and the
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: house fired up and he was taking aim at the
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Greens and particular of course he's the Resources and Associate
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Energy Minister taking aim at the Greens over well what
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: was essentially labors oil and gas band and he's calling
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: out their opposition to using key we coal.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: We can power up New Zealand by using our domestic
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: coal resources. But that party would rather see New Zealand
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: as thrown on the unemployment scrap keepers we've witnessed this week.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: They would rather see people cold. They would rather see
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: people in their retirement years too afraid to put the
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: jug on or the sleeping blanket, just so they can
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: cover themselves in an ideological blanket of piety and self righteousness.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And that wasn't it. That was not scripted. That was
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: just Shane Jones just going for a healthy leather in
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the house. A very enjoyable speech. He's easy to listen to,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: his niche Shane. Anyway, he makes a point, doesn't he
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: about the Buchers who are being affected by all of
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the closures that are happening around the country at the moment.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I flicked off an email to Methanex Yes today because
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: they've shutted operations at their plant until October, and I
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: just wanted to check are you definitely going to reopen?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: And they said yes, we're looking forward to restarting operations
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: in November, so that is good. But they do say
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: this about our current electricity system, and I think it
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: just sums it up. Our highly renewable electricity sector is
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: increasingly reliant on intermittent renewable power generation, which needs to
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: be supported by thermal generation to provide energy security when
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: it doesn't when the rain doesn't fall, the wind doesn't blow,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: all the sun doesn't shine. During the last three years,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: they've operated at reduced rates or shut plants over high
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: electricity demand periods during winter to ensure there's enough gas
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: for everyone to go around. Now, this is the interesting part.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: While the government has recently signaled positive policy changes like
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: reversing that offshore oil and gas ban, we believe additional
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: policies are urgently needed for New Zealand's incumbent upstream companies
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: such as OMV, Todd and Graymouth to help improve confidence
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and enable the development of future gas supplies to prevent
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: what they call the de industrialization of our economy. So anyway,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: we're hoping to have them on the show actually next week,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: just for a chat about exactly what those things are
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: that they want changed. Twenty nine after.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Five get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Zealand's furniture Bids and a player store News talk zid be.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Good morning twenty four away from six News Talks there'd
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: be Friday, the twenty third of August. If you're just
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: joining us, welcome to the show. Microplastics in our Brains.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: This is new research out of the toxicologist from the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: University of New Mexico measured weighed our brains, well, not
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: our brains, but people who died for microplastics, and there
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: was half a percent the average weight of our brains
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: tested positive basically for microplastics. I don't know which half
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: a percent that would be exactly, but yeah, apparently we
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: eat it because we eat microplastics. And they thought actually
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: they would enter our system and would get blocked at
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the liver. Apparently they go into the brain. So there
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: you go. I thought we just had to worry about
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: plastics in the ocean, but it turns out also in
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: your head. Hey, you've just been sent a list of
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: all the coaches at the All Blacks Man. There's heaps
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: they've got head coach assistant coach for Ward's assistant coach,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Attack assistant coach, Defense assistant coach, backs, contact skills coach.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: They've also added the line out throwing coach and the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: kicking coach. Obviously we're now lost one and Leon McDonald.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: But that's a few, isn't it. Tony Johnson on that
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: in just a few moments. Twenty three to six, Brian Bridge,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: We've going our reporters around the country now, starting with
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Cullum and Duned and Cullum, Good morning to you. This
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: research looking at snap children's snacking preferences.
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, morning, Ryan, this is the latest study out of
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: a Tiger university.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: It's found a link between the types of snacks we
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: consume and our body mass index. It highlights how taste
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: sensitivities influence BMI. For example, someone with low sensitivity to
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: sweetness will likely consume more sweet fatty foods. The authors
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: of this study say that academics have been debating whether
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: there's a link for a long time, so they took
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: this approach of looking at taste over nutrients. They say
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: it's important to pay attention to our children's eating behaviors,
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: and those with kids should set up their sensory preferences
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: from a very early age. All right, and your weather
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: today comem occasional rain developing but clearing this afternoon, Northerlys
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: and thirteen today.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Claire, Sherwoods and christ Church this morning, clear,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: good morning to you. The Winter Games getting underway.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they are getting underway, Ryan, and there are mixed
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: emotions down here because of that. The Games will take
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: place over four mountains in the Queenstown area and they
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: do officially open today. But look that excitement has been
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: dulled somewhat due to this reportedly tragic start for some
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: of the competitors. It is believed that the three victims
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: of the crash at Geraldine earlier this week were in
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: fact members of the Korean ski team. Other members of
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: the team had been traveling in convoy. They'd been at
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: a training beforehand when it's understood they witnessed a head
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: on collision which killed teammates and also seriously injured to others.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: In a statement, the Winter Games CEO Marty to Me
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: says they haven't been given specific information to confirm those
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: involved were registered to compare, but nonetheless they do extend
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: their deepest sympathies.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Very sad indeed clear the weather there today a.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: Warman to start some high cloud today for Friday, there
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: could be a shower or two a bit later. Seventeen
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: degrees is ou high.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you Max Toles and Wellington. Max. An incredible discovery
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: for the owner of four paintings.
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, a great little local story in Enzidme's Carpety News
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: this week, a woman who lives just up the coast
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: in pecker Picker took four dirty, spotty, nicotine stained paintings
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: to a restoration expert just to get them cleaned up.
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: She'd come to own them while cleaning out someone's home.
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: Turned out these old oil paintings were the works of
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: renowned Keei Australian artist Charles McPhee The dream for anyone.
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: Mcfee's paintings sell for several thousand dollars a pop at auction.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: They were done around nineteen fifty two. McPhee known for
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: his oil paintings on black velvet of very lifelike indigenous
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: people and of Pacific beachy landscapes. The International Art Center
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: in Auckland was alerted to this fire. They're done, very
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: exciting for the local art world.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Do we know what they're worth well.
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: The last one solid auction for seventeen hundred dollars, but
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: they can reach upwards of five thousand, six thousand dollars.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, not bet weather today, I'm Wellington Max.
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: Mostly cloudy, the odd showers, some very strong northeries thirteen
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: the High Central.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you, and Wendy Petrie is in Auckland this morning.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning. So we're looking at this. Oh,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: this is the seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: the street dancing thing.
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: Yes, that's right. Well, funding for a global street dance
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: competition coming to Auckland next April hasn't got the Taxpayer's
• 22:36
  Speaker 12: Union seale of approval. The government in Tataki Auckland Unlimited
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: are together funding one point five million dollars for the
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: inaugural World Dance Crew Championships next year hip Hop. The
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: event will feature dance crews from forty countries across five
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: competition divisions, expected to attract thousands of people and expected
• 22:53
  Speaker 12: to generate at four million dollars into the economy, but
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: the Taxpayer's Union's Jordan Williams says the government is ignoring
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: its owner advice to councils to limit the nice to haves.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: He says, the idea of that being way out of
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: the recession is madness.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Are they going to spend that? Is that ray Gun's
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: appearance fee? Do you think fifty k? She's famous?
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I know, right, I don't know what what do you
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: think about this? Because I feel if we're letting councils
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and governments decide, what is you know, going to generate money?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, shouldn't we just leave that to a private
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: business if it is going to be that secess?
• 23:31
  Speaker 12: Although well yeah, well that's right. I mean I think
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: it could. It could potentially go really really well in
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: New Zealand and we have got good hip hop dancers
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: and it could be amazing. And maybe do they need
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: that funding is the question?
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, especially when you're telling the councils to tighten
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: their own belts, right yeah. Has the weather today?
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: Well we're looking at a fine Friday party, cloudy if
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: you showers possibly this afternoon nor the leeds becoming fresh
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: and at seventeen degrees brilliant.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Wendy. It is eighteen minutes away from six.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Ryanbridge. You twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store news dog Zidby.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: It's kind of a stupid question to ask because we
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: don't get to vote in the US election. But Toobot Mills,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: which is Labour's polster has or poster of choice, has
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: decided to ask Kiwis, who would you vote for? Karmela
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: or Donald? Fifty five percent went Karmela. Unsurprisingly, twenty one
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: percent went Donald. I think Carmela would be better for
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: New Zealand. And I'm not saying I'm not getting into
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: politics in the US, and actually what would be better
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: for an American in terms of her to vote for?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: But in terms of a small trading nation like ours,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: you don't want protectionist policies. You don't want America first,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: that's bad for us. The potential for a trade war
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: with China. Plus the other thing of Trump got in
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: what would happen with the war in Ukraine and now Russia.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: You know he doesn't want to keep topping that war up,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: does he? So what happens there? It is a quarter to.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Six international spondens with ins in eye insurance, peace of
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: mind for New Zealand business.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Benson mccabinnie is a UK and Europe correspondent. He's with
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: US Live. What's the latest the evansent on the basi
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: in yacht tragedy.
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: Well, there has been news today out of Italy. There
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: were six passengers who were still missing. Yesterday they managed
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: to identify in the wreck five bodies and they have
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: recovered them over the past twenty four hours. They have
• 25:28
  Speaker 13: now been identified as Morvillo, who was a partner at
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: law firm Clifford Chance, and his wife Nida Morvillo, who
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: was a jewelry designer. Then there was the banker Michael
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: Bloom and his wife Judy Bloom, and then of course
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: the British tech entrepreneur basically our version of Bill Gate
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: at Mike Lynch. His body has also been identified, but
• 25:57
  Speaker 13: his daughter, Hannah, an eighteen year old, she is still
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: missing and there have started now to be investigations ongoing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: There is we understand the New Zealand captain of the
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: vessel on the night is being interviewed by police, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: there is now the owner of the company that made
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: the yacht has come forward to say that he's starting
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: to point the finger at the crew, saying that this
• 26:22
  Speaker 13: yacht was safe, it shouldn't have sunk, and that the
• 26:25
  Speaker 13: ship crew were not in a high enough state of
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: alert given the stormy weather in the region. Of course,
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: many saying that water spouts undetectable, that this was a
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: freak black Swan event, and just sorry to correct the
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: banker's name with Jonathan Bloomer.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Very quickly, we've got time for this update on Andrew Tate,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: that's the influencer that many believe is a misogynist and
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: leading young people down the wrong path, etc. Him and
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: his brother have been in court. Yes, that's right.
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: They've both appeared in court Andrew tATu and Tristan Tate
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: earlier today. In Romania. Prosecutors are investing eating new claims
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: against the pair and they wanted them reminded them in custody.
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: They've been put into house arrest and they are investigating
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: serious allegations, including that of sex with a minor and
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: trafficking underage persons. The brothers are denying this, but as
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: I say, they will now have to stay under house
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: arrest in their compound outside Bucharest.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Vincent, thank you for that, Vincent Mecavanny, a UK and
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Europe correspondent. It's twelve to six. Bryan Bridge shock move yesterday.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Still not quite sure why it happened. The assistant coach
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: of the All Blacks, Leon McDonald, has quit after disagreements
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: with head coach Scott Razor Robertson. He sees it was
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a mutual decision. Is they couldn't agree on strategy any
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: minute now. Maybe this is how awkward it was when
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: they were coaching together. Maybe that's why he's decided he
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: his to go here.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: It is just a little bit of philosophy on rugby. Hell,
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: it was played and you just didn't quite click.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The speaks Tony Johnson as a rugby commentator. He's with us, Tony,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: good morning, Nice to have you on the show.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning, right do we do?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: What do you think really went on here? What's the juice?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well? I think there's a couple of schools of thought
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: about this. Ryan. One is that, as stated the reasons
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Leon McDonald left the job as assistant to Scott Robertson
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: at the Crusaders in twenty seventeen, resurfaced and proved irreconcilable,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: which is, you know, baffling a little bit because they
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: have played or coached together over a twenty seven year
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: span Canterbury Crusaders, the all backs they coached in his
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: land age group team together in twenty fifteen, and so
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: for suddenly these differences to be irreconcilable, you know, it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: a bit unusual. The other school of thought is that,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you know, there probably are too many voices on the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: coaching panel, six full time coaches. That's unprecedented, different voices,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: all with their role to play, and too many voices
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: has been a bit of a rumble that's come out
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: of the team. You know, look, they've won three out
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: of their four test matches, but right from the word go,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you were hearing that the players were getting a lot
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: of voices, a lot of information. And also when you've
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: got that many, you know, there's always a chance that,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: you know, coaches are going to be sort of tripping
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: over each other, They're going to have different views, and
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: maybe someone's going to end up feeling a bit marginalized.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: And I think that's, you know, maybe one of the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: things that happened here with Leon McDonald. Either way, it's
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: a decision I think they felt that they had to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: make now rather than let it sort of fester on.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And I think in that regard. It's quite a bold
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: thing that they've done and the right thing that they've done.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: If they weren't getting on you just couldn't have that
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: happening in front of the players.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: No, well, that obviously made up their minds that, as
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: you say, was reconcilable. Basically, who picks the who selects
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: the assistant coach? Like with Leon's job, would would Raiser
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: have picked him?
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: And well, yeah, and I think this is something that
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: you know, probably needs to be looked at that have
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: they given him carte Blines to pick as many and
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: whoever coaches on his staff as he likes in the past,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it's a job that's been done very successfully in the
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Graham Henry and Steve Hanson eires by three And as
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I say, it just raises that question where he has
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: obviously got some fresh ideas, some quite radical ideas, but
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: there's just science here. That's six and there are a
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: couple of others that pop in and out as well,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: just perhaps too.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Many in the kitchen.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and look, I think it's quite telling that
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the best performance that they've had so far was the
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: second Test match against Argentina, where the really bad weather
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: forced them to simplify the way they were playing, take
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: it right back to the basics, and that proved to
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: be a really good formula. That maybe things were a
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: bit overcomplicated, and that the weather forced them to go
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of them. That's that's the point of going forward.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I think if they're going to be successful in South Africa,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: which is going to be a very tough challenge for them,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: that that's that's the way ahead. The interesting now to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: see whether there's an attempt to replace Leon McDonald. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: don't think that should be the case. I think you
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: know that they've got enough there on the coaching staff
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that you know, five full time coaches surely is plenty.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: It sounds to me like more than enough. Tony, thank
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: you for that. That's Tony Johnson that Rugby commentated with
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: us this morning. I suppose if they go to South
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Africa and they win, all of this will be forgotten.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: But that's probably a tall order. At this point. It
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: is eight minutes away from six on.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Your radio and online. On iheard Rado early edition with
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture Bids and
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: a playing store News talk.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Said b just gone five to six News Talk said
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: b there's a report out this morning about the health
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: system saying that we're not putting enough money into it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: We're already putting thirty billion dollars a year into the
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: health system, and everybody wants to live longer. There was
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: a report out today about a new Alzheimer's drug in
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: the UK that's being approved, which shall help people to
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: live longer. I mean that's good, but it costs money
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: to keep people alive, doesn't it. Mike Hosking is here,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning.
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: It's a never ending pit of money. I believe it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: thirty billion dollars. We have enough money. I believe the
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: Prime Minister's right. We have enough money to provide a
• 32:41
  Speaker 14: decent health service.
