Speaker 1: The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge New
0:08
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
0:12
Speaker 1: New Zealand's furniture bands and a play at store.
0:14
Speaker 2: News Talk said, be.
0:17
Speaker 3: Good morning and welcome to your Friday. It is great
0:20
Speaker 3: to be with you on Ryan Bridge. It's five oh six.
0:22
Speaker 3: This is news Talk, said b We're nearly the anneariate
0:26
Speaker 3: the weekend for those who get one. A new photo
0:29
Speaker 3: is being posted online right now, I believe from the
0:32
Speaker 3: United States. This is a photo of a new meeting
0:35
Speaker 3: between Biden and Luxeon Prime Minister christ Luxe's over there
0:39
Speaker 3: for the NATO summit. Yesterday they had a grip and grin,
0:43
Speaker 3: which is where you you know you grip and new grin.
0:46
Speaker 3: Today we think they might have gone as far as
0:48
Speaker 3: a pull a sign. Yes, you don't want to confuse
0:51
Speaker 3: those two things, the grip and pool. Anyway, apparently this
0:56
Speaker 3: is more substantive the meeting that they've had. A photo
0:59
Speaker 3: was taken and we're going to speak to Claire Trevette.
1:01
Speaker 3: She is on the ground there for us from the
1:03
Speaker 3: New Zealand Herald in Washington, DC. We'll speak to her
1:06
Speaker 3: in just a next quarter of an hour or so
1:10
Speaker 3: we're also going to assume. I'm wondering actually whether the
1:13
Speaker 3: Biden knew who he was talking to, you know where
1:16
Speaker 3: we sort of know. We assume that Luxon knew it
1:19
Speaker 3: was Biden. But did Biden wish him the Wallabies well
1:23
Speaker 3: this weekend and the rugby and good luck on the
1:25
Speaker 3: trip back to Canberra. I don't know. We'll ask Claar
1:27
Speaker 3: Trebit about that. Also this morning, what are sperm whales
1:30
Speaker 3: talking about underwater? New surprising research? And five thugs enter
1:36
Speaker 3: a dairy two weeks ago, the shop owner fights back
1:38
Speaker 3: with a sword. Here's a question for you. Should that
1:41
Speaker 3: shop owner be immune from prosecution in a court of law.
1:44
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that just before seven. Right now it
1:47
Speaker 3: is eight after five. The agenda Friday, the twelfth of July.
1:53
Speaker 3: The Transport Minister is working to get cones off our roads.
1:57
Speaker 3: Simon Brown says the government will balance safe and cost
2:01
Speaker 3: rather than taking a safety at any cost approach for
2:04
Speaker 3: temporary traffic management. MZTA will also have to publicly report
2:08
Speaker 3: its total amounts spent on cones per quarter. Simeon Brown
2:11
Speaker 3: hopes the policy will create greater accountability.
2:14
Speaker 4: Ex Cars will know how.
2:15
Speaker 5: Much is being suppent, we'll be able to see whether
2:17
Speaker 5: or not that's actually good use.
2:18
Speaker 4: Of money, and our expectation is that amount of money
2:21
Speaker 4: will be reduced.
2:22
Speaker 3: Awlkiners have delivered a scathing review of the city's transport
2:25
Speaker 3: agency and a new poll not surprising. This is from
2:27
Speaker 3: the rate Payers Alliance. Forty percent of those surveyed say
2:30
Speaker 3: all Can Transport is doing a below average job. Just
2:33
Speaker 3: twenty eight percent say it's doing a good job. I'd
2:36
Speaker 3: like to know who they are. Only nineteen percent of
2:39
Speaker 3: people are in favor of a proposal to charge for
2:42
Speaker 3: parking twenty four to seven. In the Central City, dairy
2:46
Speaker 3: company sin Lay has voted to take on one hundred
2:48
Speaker 3: and thirty million dollars a debt from its biggest shareholder.
2:50
Speaker 3: That's the Chinese company Bright Dairy. We spoke about that yesterday.
2:53
Speaker 3: Ninety nine point six percent of the shareholders voted in
2:57
Speaker 3: favor of the loan, which will last for twelve months
2:59
Speaker 3: the interest it's great to get this eight percent. Sind
3:02
Speaker 3: La jeer George Adams says despite the cash boost, the
3:04
Speaker 3: company's not out of the woods yet. We've got to
3:07
Speaker 3: deliver a significant equity reas to rescue this business and
3:10
Speaker 3: so we will be making sure that whatever we do
3:13
Speaker 3: is for to all shoholders. Rwanda has said it doesn't
3:16
Speaker 3: need to pay back the UK after a deal between
3:18
Speaker 3: the two countries was scrapped. It would have allowed the
3:22
Speaker 3: UK to send migrants to the East African nation. But
3:26
Speaker 3: the new prime Minister in the UK, kurs Starmer, he's
3:28
Speaker 3: come in and he's got rid of it. He said no,
3:29
Speaker 3: we don't need that deal, and Rwanda has said, okay,
3:32
Speaker 3: we'll keep the money. How much money are they going
3:35
Speaker 3: to keep? Close to half a billion New Zealand dollars?
3:38
Speaker 3: It is nine h five if that was the agenda.
3:42
Speaker 6: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
3:46
Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture bids and
3:50
Speaker 6: applying store news talk said Bee.
3:52
Speaker 3: I've lost a bit of faith in our public institutions
3:55
Speaker 3: and the fact that when they say something I just
3:57
Speaker 3: don't believe them anymore. Nzta thanks given. There was a
4:01
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know about this, a trial
4:02
Speaker 3: done at a rotrou akaying or order housing estage. They
4:07
Speaker 3: trialed the free use of fifteen e bikes for one
4:11
Speaker 3: hundred and ten thousand dollars. This is a pilot that
4:14
Speaker 3: they ran, so they it was a trial. They loaned
4:17
Speaker 3: the e bikes. They were worth close to five thousand
4:19
Speaker 3: dollars each of these e bikes, and there were some
4:21
Speaker 3: push bikes as well, and they caged them in a
4:24
Speaker 3: thirty five thousand dollars built a thirty five thousand dollar cage. Now,
4:28
Speaker 3: this is one of four sites around New Zealand where
4:30
Speaker 3: they have caged e bikes which are on loan or
4:34
Speaker 3: available for loan for use. There's no sign out process
4:37
Speaker 3: or anything like that. You can just go in and
4:39
Speaker 3: get your e bike and off you go. Now, this
4:42
Speaker 3: is what MZGA has said when questioned about whether this
4:44
Speaker 3: was a sensible use of taxpayers money. NZTA says the
4:47
Speaker 3: trial has already achieved all of its objectives, with benefits
4:52
Speaker 3: such as helping residents exercise, attend school and work and
4:56
Speaker 3: go to the supermarket. So I just don't believe you.
4:59
Speaker 3: I don't believe you anything that you say. Now, I
5:02
Speaker 3: just don't believe why, because then you talk to the
5:04
Speaker 3: actual residents, as the New Zealand Herald has done. Lennard's
5:08
Speaker 3: a lethal header. Winnie told that to do a daily
5:11
Speaker 3: post It was her opinion that people took advantage of
5:14
Speaker 3: the bikes. Was some of them broken and taken away.
5:16
Speaker 3: For several weeks it was cool, but the teenagers started
5:19
Speaker 3: wrecking them after a while. She said. It's not necessarily
5:22
Speaker 3: those living in the complex who were using the e bikes,
5:25
Speaker 3: it was others. Another resident said, in her view, they
5:28
Speaker 3: should there should have been rules stipulated. It was another
5:31
Speaker 3: waste of money. These are the residents who are living
5:33
Speaker 3: in the caying or Order complex. And as for e bikes,
5:38
Speaker 3: you know, we've got people exercising. It's an e bike.
5:42
Speaker 3: Do you know how many fat people I see riding
5:45
Speaker 3: around on e bikes in Central Auckland. Honestly, I'm sure
5:49
Speaker 3: they were wearing their helmets, but they could actually be
5:50
Speaker 3: wearing helmets on their knees. And you know, and they say,
5:57
Speaker 3: I commute by bicycle. No you don't. You sit down.
6:02
Speaker 3: It's no different to being in a taxi.
6:05
Speaker 7: You know.
6:05
Speaker 3: I mean, I suppose your legs are technically moving, but
6:08
Speaker 3: they're basically been moved for you, aren't they. It has
6:12
Speaker 3: just gone twelve minutes after five. You're listening to newstalk,
6:14
Speaker 3: saidb will have more from the United States with Clare Trouvette.
6:18
Speaker 6: Next Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early
6:23
Speaker 6: edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds at a
6:26
Speaker 6: playing store.
6:27
Speaker 3: News Talk ZIB fourteen after five nine, two ninety two.
6:31
Speaker 3: On the text, Gary says, please do not even dream
6:33
Speaker 3: that Luxon said even more than high to Joe Biden.
6:37
Speaker 3: Don't get our ambitions mixed up with our abilities. That's
6:40
Speaker 3: a very cynical view from you this morning, Gary. But
6:42
Speaker 3: we're going to get the lowdown right now because Christopher
6:44
Speaker 3: Luxon has met with the US President Joe Biden. This
6:48
Speaker 3: is a new meeting at the White House. There was
6:50
Speaker 3: the dinner last night, now a new meeting as the
6:52
Speaker 3: NATO summit ramps up. It's been a busy day for
6:55
Speaker 3: the PM meeting with the Indo Pacific leaders before heading
6:58
Speaker 3: to the NATO North to the North Atlantic Council meeting
7:02
Speaker 3: as well as bilateral meetings. He's got later this morning.
7:05
Speaker 3: Joining me now is The New Zealand Herald's political editor
7:08
Speaker 3: Claire Trevet. Claire, let's talk about that new meeting between
7:11
Speaker 3: Luxon and Biden.
7:13
Speaker 5: Yes, it's just happened here now. They've sent a photo
7:17
Speaker 5: of the two of them together. It seems that they've
7:20
Speaker 5: had something of a short chat before the next summit
7:23
Speaker 5: meeting that's happening here. We're not sure of the contents
7:27
Speaker 5: of that. We'll talk to Christopher Luxon in another couple
7:29
Speaker 5: of hours and hopefully get a bit more out of it.
7:32
Speaker 5: But they have had what seems to be a more
7:34
Speaker 5: falsome catch up. He hasn't yet had a proper chat
7:37
Speaker 5: with US President Joe Biden, other then at the dinner
7:42
Speaker 5: last night. I think they'd had a handshake as they
7:44
Speaker 5: came in kind of thing. So he'll be pretty stoked
7:46
Speaker 5: if he's had a better chat than that. It made him.
7:50
Speaker 5: I think it made him a bit late for the
7:51
Speaker 5: next summit, but it's probably worth it, so we'll find
7:54
Speaker 5: out the full context of that chat a bit later.
7:56
Speaker 3: He's obviously not going into Biden's mental has toy et
8:00
Speaker 3: cetera for good reason. Have you seen Biden since you've
8:03
Speaker 3: been there? Have you seen him speak? Do you have
8:05
Speaker 3: any comment on his mental acuity?
8:10
Speaker 5: Well, the most interesting thing over here is the all
8:16
Speaker 5: of them are being asked about Biden, and the NATO
8:19
Speaker 5: leaders are a bit nervous about it because Donald Trump's
8:21
Speaker 5: less friendly towards NATO than Joe Biden is. You've had
8:26
Speaker 5: George Clooney coming out. He dropped a real clanger of
8:29
Speaker 5: an ophead and the worst thing he said was that
8:32
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party leaders have to stop trying to fall
8:36
Speaker 5: kind of one hundred and fifty five million people that
8:38
Speaker 5: they didn't see what they you know, what they thought
8:41
Speaker 5: they had seen. And I've seen Biden not in the flesh,
8:47
Speaker 5: but I have watched him deliver the main speeches of
8:49
Speaker 5: the NATO function.
8:50
Speaker 7: It's hard to.
8:51
Speaker 5: Tell with those because they're autoq basically, so he's more
8:55
Speaker 5: or less just reading them out. But I mean he is,
8:58
Speaker 5: you know, he's not a young man, so we'll leave
9:01
Speaker 5: it to them. But I think Nancy Pelosi came out
9:04
Speaker 5: in the end and still the Democrats to stop talking
9:08
Speaker 5: about it until at least after the NATO sum much
9:10
Speaker 5: has ended. So I suspect things to get a bit
9:13
Speaker 5: messy here once NATO was finished and Joe Biden no
9:18
Speaker 5: longer being made a fool of in front of all
9:20
Speaker 5: these world leaders.
9:23
Speaker 2: That's pretty much.
9:24
Speaker 5: It's pretty much conversation. But it's just kind of if
9:28
Speaker 5: we were like there will be all of them are
9:31
Speaker 5: being asked about Biden that even in that Pacific four meeting,
9:36
Speaker 5: we weren't allowed to ask any questions, but of course
9:39
Speaker 5: you know if someone inevitably does. And one of the
9:41
Speaker 5: Australian journalists yelled out to Zelenski, asked him whether he
9:45
Speaker 5: thought Joe Biden should step down as the as the candidate.
9:49
Speaker 5: So that's the only question that got yelled.
9:52
Speaker 3: Out, and you can always you can always expect that
9:55
Speaker 3: from an Aussie journal Ain't that just ruthless? Hey? This
9:58
Speaker 3: pressor where it could all come undone? So this is
10:01
Speaker 3: Biden going on his own tour pressa after NATO. It's
10:04
Speaker 3: going to be nine to thirty New Zealand Times, so
10:06
Speaker 3: just after we are off here, it'll be during Carey's
10:09
Speaker 3: show here on Newstalks. He b but do you get
10:11
Speaker 3: to go to that?
10:14
Speaker 5: I actually think we may have to be on our
10:15
Speaker 5: way to the airport, so we're kind of hoping we will.
10:19
Speaker 5: But everything's running a bit late here as well, so
10:21
Speaker 5: it could get it could get crunched out, but we're
10:23
Speaker 5: not sure one time.
10:25
Speaker 7: Now.
10:25
Speaker 5: The conflicting thing is that, you know, Chris Lutson's been
10:28
Speaker 5: trying to get a meeting with Tim Cruz the whole
10:30
Speaker 5: time he's been here and it's been delayed twice. One
10:34
Speaker 5: last chance this morning, just before he goes to the plane. Right,
10:38
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm not sure whether whether or not we'll
10:41
Speaker 5: get to say that. We're hoping to clear.
10:43
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that. That's Clear Trevett, who
10:45
Speaker 3: is The New Zealand Herald's political editor, with US live
10:48
Speaker 3: from Washington, DC this morning, So you have it. We
10:52
Speaker 3: don't know what they spoke about. We don't know how
10:53
Speaker 3: long the meeting was, but Luxeon has had some sort
10:56
Speaker 3: of pull aside meeting with the US President Joe Biden.
11:00
Speaker 3: Right now, it is nineteen minutes after five o'clock, coming
11:03
Speaker 3: up next to Elliott Smith on the All Blacks at
11:06
Speaker 3: Eden Park this weekend.
11:08
Speaker 6: The News you Need this morning and the in depth
11:10
Speaker 6: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City New
11:14
Speaker 6: Zealand's Furniture, Beds and a playing Store.
11:16
Speaker 3: News Talk sid be twenty one after five coming up
11:19
Speaker 3: very shortly. We're going to talk about retail crime and
11:22
Speaker 3: this new task force that's been set up to try
11:25
Speaker 3: and tackle it. Right now, though, the rugby New Zealand
11:28
Speaker 3: faced their second match against England this weekend. After a
11:30
Speaker 3: nail biting finished last week. Both squads have been named
11:33
Speaker 3: with almost no changes. We're just Finlay Christie replacing TJ.
11:37
Speaker 3: Petinada following his injury. There's also a change over at
11:41
Speaker 3: the England side. Elliott Smith is News Talks Be's rugby
11:44
Speaker 3: commentator and he is with me now, Elliott, good morning,
11:47
Speaker 3: Nice to have you on the program.
11:49
Speaker 8: Is this.
11:51
Speaker 3: A more significant test given that it's Eden Park?
11:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. Possibly for the All Blacks now
11:57
Speaker 4: they've had a week to settle into the combinations. Scott Robertson,
12:01
Speaker 4: It's so longer like the first week of school, he
12:03
Speaker 4: was saying yesterday to the media. It's more like, Okay,
12:06
Speaker 4: we know what we're doing. Now, everyone knows their way
12:08
Speaker 4: to the classroom. Let's get things done. So for the
12:11
Speaker 4: All Blacks, I think is the sense that last week
12:14
Speaker 4: was about putting some systems in place. This week it's
12:16
Speaker 4: really about fine tuning that and putting what they want
12:19
Speaker 4: to do in terms of a rugby product out onto
12:22
Speaker 4: the park. Look, they got the win last week, but
12:24
Speaker 4: it's quite clear that it wasn't entirely perfect or thing
12:27
Speaker 4: that how want things to go over the course of
12:29
Speaker 4: a season. So week one on the board. Now that
12:32
Speaker 4: looks a week two and try and make some improvements.
12:34
Speaker 3: What are you expecting. Do you expect that now that
12:36
Speaker 3: they've got that first one out of the way, maybe
12:38
Speaker 3: the nerves or the gishes or whatever are gone, and
12:40
Speaker 3: that we'll just kind of run home.
12:43
Speaker 4: Let's hope so from an all tax perspective, and hope
12:45
Speaker 4: that things run a little more smooth than England will
12:48
Speaker 4: be making sure to the best of their possibilities. That
12:50
Speaker 4: can't happen, of course, and the All Blacks desperately need
12:53
Speaker 4: to find a way to figure out this rush defense
12:56
Speaker 4: or the unbreilldered defense, whatever way you won't call it.
12:58
Speaker 4: They need to find a way to score more points
13:01
Speaker 4: against England. England were very very good at suffocating the
13:04
Speaker 4: All Blacks last week, making sure there wasn't enough space.
13:07
Speaker 4: And you'll Blacks are a team that historically likes to
13:10
Speaker 4: run the ball and use their outside backs and create
13:12
Speaker 4: some opportunities there. They simply didn't get enough of those
13:15
Speaker 4: last week against England. They had two tries in the
13:18
Speaker 4: first spell where kept trialists and the second spell. And
13:22
Speaker 4: they're not a team that is comfortable. I don't think
13:24
Speaker 4: we're scoring penalty goals to keep the scoreboard ticking over
13:27
Speaker 4: and win test that way. So they're going to have
13:30
Speaker 4: to try and find ways to get past this English defense.
13:32
Speaker 4: And there wasn't a lot of space out in the
13:35
Speaker 4: park last week, and that's what international rugby is seemingly
13:38
Speaker 4: all about at the moment, is finding those little patches
13:41
Speaker 4: of space and converting that into try scoring opportunities.
13:45
Speaker 3: Elliott, thank you. You're going to pick a score for us.
13:48
Speaker 4: I'll go to the All Black So I hit the
13:49
Speaker 4: All Blacks I think by five when I was chatting
13:51
Speaker 4: last week, So I'm going to go the All Blacks
13:52
Speaker 4: by seven. How about that?
13:53
Speaker 3: Tom and I sound pretty good. Allott Smith with US
13:55
Speaker 3: News Talk, said be rugby commentator. It is twenty four
13:58
Speaker 3: minutes out of five o'clock. You're on news Talk. Of
14:00
Speaker 3: course when we come back. Why is it that so
14:02
Speaker 3: many companies ask you so many questions before they'll sell
14:06
Speaker 3: you a product? What's your name, what's your number, what's
14:09
Speaker 3: your haircul? Why do they do it? And how can
14:11
Speaker 3: we stop them?
14:13
Speaker 6: Separating the fact from the fiction. Kid's Billy Edition with Smith,
14:17
Speaker 6: City New Zealand's Furniture, Beds and appliant store NEWSTALKSB.
14:22
Speaker 3: It is twenty six after five News talks 'b with me,
14:24
Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge. Have you ever tried to buy a pair
14:26
Speaker 3: of shoes online recently? Maybe a T shirt? Maybe try
14:30
Speaker 3: and book a haircut online? You'd have been asked a
14:32
Speaker 3: billion and one questions, what time, what day do you
14:36
Speaker 3: want your haircut? That stuff's fine. Then they want your name,
14:39
Speaker 3: your address, your birthdate, your postal address. How did you
14:42
Speaker 3: hear about us? What shampoo do you use? I didn't
14:45
Speaker 3: ask for all of that. At this point. I'd rather
14:48
Speaker 3: pull my hair out in clumps than actually go through
14:52
Speaker 3: all of these stupid, irrelevant questions and actually get my
14:54
Speaker 3: haircut with you. I've been trying to get paid from
14:56
Speaker 3: NEWSTALKSZB this week. I probably shouldn't talk about this. I've
15:00
Speaker 3: been trying to get paid, you see, because it's important
15:02
Speaker 3: to get paid. You need to pay for things like haircuts.
15:05
Speaker 3: And I realize this is very dangerous ground to be
15:08
Speaker 3: treading on. I've only been here a week and the
15:10
Speaker 3: people here are wonderful, great, excellent people. I want to
15:14
Speaker 3: make that point, but some of the processes, oh my goodness,
15:17
Speaker 3: just absurd. You think they just want my bank account,
15:20
Speaker 3: my ird number, whatever, pay me. No, every personal detail
15:25
Speaker 3: under the sun, they want it, you name it, they
15:27
Speaker 3: want it, my sex, probably who I'm having sex with,
15:31
Speaker 3: my home address, my ethnicity. This is the one that
15:35
Speaker 3: I couldn't understand. This sent me to into a tailspin.
15:38
Speaker 3: Why do you need the color of my skin to
15:40
Speaker 3: pay me? And this is not just my employer's situation,
15:44
Speaker 3: by the way, this is a third party who runs this,
15:47
Speaker 3: so that there must be plenty of people and companies
15:50
Speaker 3: out there that are doing this. It's not a legal requirement.
15:54
Speaker 3: And the stupid drop down box wasn't working for me,
15:57
Speaker 3: so I wasn't even able to pick my ethnic I
16:00
Speaker 3: tried to pick European and it would have let me.
16:02
Speaker 3: I tried all of them. I tried to say it
16:04
Speaker 3: was Chinese or Tino, even Indian, and I'm like, are
16:08
Speaker 3: you going to pay me in rupees? What is the
16:09
Speaker 3: significance of my ethnicity to whether I'm getting paid or not? Anyway,
16:14
Speaker 3: I calmed myself down and sorted that issue out. But
16:17
Speaker 3: the reason I ask is and the reason I'm talking
16:20
Speaker 3: about this is because a lot of the information that
16:22
Speaker 3: we give these companies goes into some big database somewhere
16:25
Speaker 3: at the back end of their computer system, and oftentimes
16:29
Speaker 3: these computer systems get hacked. Thousands of companies have thousands
16:34
Speaker 3: of bits of data about us, and they not only
16:37
Speaker 3: sell it between one another, but as I said, can
16:40
Speaker 3: often get hacked. So I've come up with an idea,
16:43
Speaker 3: a bill I'm hoping to get through Parliament. It's called
16:45
Speaker 3: the Excessive Digital Information Collection Protection Bill. And for every
16:50
Speaker 3: question they ask us, we get five bucks. And I
16:54
Speaker 3: want to be able to reject all cookies. You know,
16:56
Speaker 3: that function they have over in Europe that we don't
16:58
Speaker 3: have here. I want to be able to have that
17:00
Speaker 3: function here too, And I want the ability to sue
17:03
Speaker 3: if my data is stolen. And I'm talking billions of dollars.
17:08
Speaker 3: Just go away. Just stop asking all these questions. It's incessant,
17:11
Speaker 3: it's unnecessary, and it puts all of us more at
17:16
Speaker 3: risk when it comes to scammers. It's twenty nine minutes
17:20
Speaker 3: after five. This is News Talk said be News is next,
17:22
Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about retail crime. Just before
17:26
Speaker 3: seven o'clock.
17:27
Speaker 2: Love me Too. This time of Vested you are there.
17:37
Speaker 6: The first word on the News of the Day Early
17:40
Speaker 6: edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
17:44
Speaker 6: Beds and Appliant store.
17:45
Speaker 3: News Talk said, be welcome to your Friday morning here
18:02
Speaker 3: on news Talks. He'd be great to be with you.
18:05
Speaker 3: A text here from Scott says, just in the car
18:08
Speaker 3: listening to you talking about fat people and e bikes.
18:11
Speaker 3: He's upset. He says, you shouldn't be talking about fat people.
18:15
Speaker 3: They have to start somewhere, even if it is an
18:17
Speaker 3: e bike. It was a very poor choice of words, Scott,
18:21
Speaker 3: I apologize for that. Moving on to something entirely different.
18:24
Speaker 3: Sperm whales. Now they have a listen to this. This
18:30
Speaker 3: is the clicking of a sperm whale. And what you're
18:34
Speaker 3: about to hear is what's called coder. See that extra bit. Now,
18:39
Speaker 3: scientists have been studying our sperm whales. They are up
18:43
Speaker 3: to eighteen meters in length, they are up to forty tons,
18:46
Speaker 3: and they dive very deep into the ocean, in fact,
18:48
Speaker 3: as deep as three kilometers under the sea. And they've
18:52
Speaker 3: been using AI to try and work out exactly what
18:54
Speaker 3: it is they're saying to each other. And it turns
18:58
Speaker 3: out they're actually talking as a family. So the clicks
19:01
Speaker 3: that you can hear are used to detect prey, and
19:05
Speaker 3: then the particular sequence that you can hear belongs to
19:09
Speaker 3: an individual, family or a pod, so that they know
19:12
Speaker 3: who they are in relation to each other. It's a
19:14
Speaker 3: bit like when you're at the park and mom says,
19:16
Speaker 3: you know Ryan, come back and you know her voice.
19:20
Speaker 3: They think it is the same for sperm whales. It's fascinating.
19:24
Speaker 3: And what they do, what they've observed them doing, is
19:27
Speaker 3: at one thousand meters, many of the group will be
19:29
Speaker 3: facing the same way. They'll flank each other, but across
19:33
Speaker 3: an area of several kilometers. So these sounds are traveling
19:37
Speaker 3: several kilometers through the ocean to talk to their brothers
19:41
Speaker 3: and sisters and their mums and dads, and they are
19:44
Speaker 3: able to stay in that group with one another and
19:47
Speaker 3: they're talking in their clicking, and then after about an hour,
19:50
Speaker 3: the group rises to the surface, all in synchrony, and
19:54
Speaker 3: they might be at the surface to say, fifteen twenty minutes,
19:57
Speaker 3: and then they will dive again at the end of
19:59
Speaker 3: the day after they with their foraging. This is the
20:01
Speaker 3: best bird. They come together at the surface, they rub
20:04
Speaker 3: against each other and they chat while they socialize. Isn't
20:07
Speaker 3: that sweet? So there you go. They are working out
20:09
Speaker 3: and they're using AI to discern all of this about
20:12
Speaker 3: our sperm whales. It is just one quick question is
20:15
Speaker 3: how do they sleep? You know, if sperm whale falls asleep,
20:18
Speaker 3: would have not dropped to the bottom of the ocean.
20:20
Speaker 3: Question twenty one Away from sex News and.
20:25

Speaker 9: crowd funding campaign when Cadbury closed down. Hereo's sheerholders voted
20:59
Speaker 9: a against liquidation instead, the company's board has resigned. It
21:04

21:14

21:30
Speaker 9: hive nine.
21:31
Speaker 3: Claire and Christchurch claieshure, We're good to have you Sinlay
21:34
Speaker 3: Milks surviving. What's the reaction to this loan?
21:38
Speaker 10: Yes, look, shareholders at the South Island Dairy Process have
21:41
Speaker 10: voted to take out this one hundred and thirty million
21:44
Speaker 10: dollar loan. Ryan. The lifeline comes from its largest shareholder,
21:48
Speaker 10: Bright Dairy, which under inded X rules wasn't allowed to
21:52
Speaker 10: join to vote on this proposal. It does mean that
21:55
Speaker 10: Sinley can meet its debt repayments to the bank, which
21:57
Speaker 10: would do on Monday. Federated farm As Mid Canterbury president
22:01
Speaker 10: David Ackland says the situation has played out as many
22:04
Speaker 10: had hoped. He says, everyone's now looking to the future
22:07
Speaker 10: and seeing where Sinley's equity rays will go.
22:10
Speaker 3: Weather for Christ George.
22:12
Speaker 10: Mostly cloudy, patche drizzle and some light winds. That drizzle
22:15
Speaker 10: will turn to showers this evening. The high is nine
22:18
Speaker 10: and one overnight.
22:20
Speaker 3: Enjoy your Friday Clear Max tolls and Wellington Max. Have
22:22
Speaker 3: I got this right? A judge is praising a violent
22:25
Speaker 3: parliamentary protester.
22:27
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, appraising him now. So this is a fifty
22:30
Speaker 11: three year old Alan Chapman who was caught on camera
22:33
Speaker 11: during those parliament protests hurling items like a table, metal pole,
22:38
Speaker 11: concrete pavers, mostly at police. So he's come up for
22:41
Speaker 11: sentencing at the Wellington District Court, which has heard about
22:44
Speaker 11: Chapman's difficult life, how it led to a deep seated
22:47
Speaker 11: distrust of institutions like government agencies, police, etc. Jail was
22:51
Speaker 11: definitely on the cards for Chapman, but a judge heard
22:54
Speaker 11: a glowing probationary probationary report that had basically turned his
22:57
Speaker 11: life around, was helping takeing care of his son living
23:00
Speaker 11: in temporary accommodation, and the judge said, if you jail Chapman,
23:03
Speaker 11: and I quote the judge here, his distrust of government,
23:07
Speaker 11: courts and agencies would simply be in your mind and
23:10
Speaker 11: you would feel aggravated, which would be going right back
23:13
Speaker 11: to where we started. And so eighteen months intense supervision
23:17
Speaker 11: instead on the charge of rioting and community work.
23:20
Speaker 3: Goodness. May so, how will the weather be for his
23:23
Speaker 3: community probation today.
23:25
Speaker 11: Yes, mostly cloudy, would light showers.
23:28
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for that. Next hole in Wellington
23:29
Speaker 3: and neither. Aretty managers with us in Auckland this morning.
23:32
Speaker 12: Morning, hippy anniversary.

23:38
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. I can't believe.
23:39
Speaker 12: It's sort of a chuckle earlier on with some of
23:41
Speaker 12: the things that you were saying about the you know
23:43
Speaker 12: how they ask you.
23:44
Speaker 3: All those questions and things. Do you know what I mean?
23:46
Speaker 12: I so know what you mean. I was in my
23:48
Speaker 12: studio going, I hear you, why.
23:50
Speaker 3: Do they need to know my ethnicity to payments?
23:52
Speaker 12: I was thinking, what is your ethnicity?
23:54
Speaker 3: By the way, Well i'm here we go. Oh sorry,
23:58
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit Irish. Right, DNA test and I'm
24:01
Speaker 3: fourteen percent Iberian Peninsula. Oh which Portuguese or Spanish? Oh wow,
24:06
Speaker 3: that's a nice combo. Yeah, so we're not sure which.
24:09
Speaker 12: One because every time people, you know, when I have
24:11
Speaker 12: to fill it out, I have to put in my
24:12
Speaker 12: full name, which is oh you don't know this, everyone
24:14
Speaker 12: else does. But it's fun and Tapa Alphas is seen
24:17
Speaker 12: for POPLERITTI Marnu.
24:18
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I know so.
24:20
Speaker 12: I have to do that all the time. And then

Speaker 12: think called flipping the heir just neva.
24:25
Speaker 3: I know, feel my pain and I think should shut
24:28
Speaker 3: them up, just show them up. Auckland's voice in their
24:31
Speaker 3: opinions about Auckland transfer.
24:33
Speaker 5: Yes.
24:33
Speaker 12: Now, this is this poll from the Auckland Ratepayers Alliance
24:36
Speaker 12: and it shows that almost forty percent of responders rate
24:38
Speaker 12: eighties performance below average. I don't think that's a surprise. Really,
24:41
Speaker 12: twenty eight percent think it's doing a great job. And
24:44
Speaker 12: of course the seventy percent are against the proposed twenty
24:47
Speaker 12: four to seven CBD parking charges which came in and
24:50
Speaker 12: July first, more than half field that. Look, it needs
24:53
Speaker 12: to be held more accountable by Auckland Council. But you
24:56
Speaker 12: know they're doing their best. And Sam Warren, who's the
24:58
Speaker 12: Alliance local government campaigns manager, he says year once again
25:02
Speaker 12: that the results aren't surprising after thirteen years of operation.
25:06
Speaker 12: You know they're developing a best no best approach for
25:10
Speaker 12: the people.
25:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, good locks what we can say, Hey, whether today's.
25:13
Speaker 12: Look chili fine?
25:14
Speaker 11: And chrisp.
25:15
Speaker 12: I shouldn't say that though, because it has been lovely
25:17
Speaker 12: during the day, beautiful. It has a high of thirteen.
25:20
Speaker 12: Pretty chilly though for Auckland.
25:21
Speaker 3: Neha, thank you, great to see you. It is sixteen
25:23
Speaker 3: away from six o'clock. You're listening to News Talk seed
25:26
Speaker 3: B and coming up next we are talking to Vincent mcgavney,
25:32
Speaker 3: our UK and Europe correspondent Kiirs. Starmer's had a busy
25:35
Speaker 3: first week in the job too.
25:36
Speaker 6: More on that International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance,
25:41
Speaker 6: Peace of mind for New Zealand Business.
25:45
Speaker 3: Thirteen away from six News Talk said b so kis
25:47
Speaker 3: Starmer in the UK. He's had a busy first week
25:49
Speaker 3: as Prime minister. In fact, he's not in the UK
25:51
Speaker 3: right now. He's in Washington, DC at the NATO summit,
25:54
Speaker 3: and we are joined by Vincent mcavinie. He's a UK
25:58
Speaker 3: and Europe correspondent. How's he going first, Wig, Well, good.
26:02
Speaker 2: Morning, Ryan, Congratulations on your new job.
26:04
Speaker 13: A Kir Starmer has been pretty busy with his He's
26:07
Speaker 13: been out in Washington, DC at this NATO summit, meeting
26:11
Speaker 13: fellow world leaders and he had a special meeting with
26:14
Speaker 13: President Joe Biden in the White House last night. He's
26:18
Speaker 13: been asked about that today and of course the question
26:21
Speaker 13: on everyone's minds how he doing as a Kirs Starmer
26:24
Speaker 13: has praised the President's leadership and saying he got on
26:28
Speaker 13: well with him and that he was on really good form.
26:31
Speaker 13: Kiir Starmer will be flying back to the UK. He's
26:34
Speaker 13: going to then be going off to Germany to see
26:36
Speaker 13: England in the Euro's Final, and then next week he's
26:39
Speaker 13: inviting around fifty leaders from across Europe here to the
26:43
Speaker 13: UK for a summit. It's the European Commit Political Community
26:47
Speaker 13: Summit to discuss all man of European issues, immigration and
26:51
Speaker 13: the war in Ukraine. So he's really getting off to
26:53
Speaker 13: a bit of a flying start as he takes up
26:56
Speaker 13: the job after fourteen years of Conservative government here.
26:59
Speaker 3: Interesting time for him too because if Trump does return,
27:03
Speaker 3: you know, and with with what's going on in France
27:05
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a shambles at the moment, you know,
27:08
Speaker 3: sort of a weekend leader in Germany as well, he
27:11
Speaker 3: could be sort of the voice of Europe, do you think.
27:14
Speaker 13: Hugely, because I think many of us remember that press
27:16
Speaker 13: conference after Donald Trump was elected by angler Merkle where
27:19
Speaker 13: she effectively assumed the role of sort of stable leader
27:23
Speaker 13: of the West and sort of at various conferences I
27:25
Speaker 13: went to, at G twenties and G eight NATO conferences,
27:29
Speaker 13: she very much sort of made sure that the rules
27:31
Speaker 13: and international order as much as possible were kept in
27:33
Speaker 13: line and try to rein him in now ol A. F.
27:36
Speaker 2: Schultze is pretty weak in Germany.
27:38
Speaker 13: Macro has played an absolute error with that snap election,
27:41
Speaker 13: So so kirs Starmer really is likely to become if
27:44
Speaker 13: Trump is reelected, that sort of strong voice of the
27:47
Speaker 13: West that tries to reinforce the norms and the post
27:49
Speaker 13: World War II order, And it's a role that he
27:52
Speaker 13: might have to get used to pretty.
27:53
Speaker 3: Quickly and very quickly. Vincent, will kiirs Stamer be the
27:56
Speaker 3: lucky Charmer for England on Sunday, Well.
27:59
Speaker 2: We'll see.
27:59
Speaker 13: He's made much of the fact that England have played
28:02
Speaker 13: two games and only one under him. It's going to
28:05
Speaker 13: be a bit of a moment for the nation. King
28:07
Speaker 13: Charles has sent a message congratulating them, but he's asked
28:10
Speaker 13: and may I encourage you to secure victory before the
28:13
Speaker 13: need for any last minute wonder goals or another penalties drama.
28:17
Speaker 13: I'm sure the stresses of the nation's collective heart rate
28:20
Speaker 13: and blood pressure would be greatly alleviated. So everyone here
28:23
Speaker 13: hoping it isn't a sort of typical England combustion.
28:27
Speaker 2: At the end of this tournament.
28:28
Speaker 3: UK you're correspondent Vincent mcavinie, Ryan Bridge. A new ministerial
28:34
Speaker 3: advisory Group will be set up to engage with victims
28:36
Speaker 3: of retail crime. The group will advise the government on
28:39
Speaker 3: how to reduce offending. This affects ninety two percent of
28:42
Speaker 3: all retailers. Can you believe it? Two point six billion
28:45
Speaker 3: dollars a year? It costs us Carolyn Young from retail
28:48
Speaker 3: in z it is with me now, Carolyn, good to
28:50
Speaker 3: have you on the program this morning. Have you, first
28:52
Speaker 3: of all, got any out of the box ideas that
28:55
Speaker 3: we should be trying, that this group should be looking.
28:58
Speaker 7: At moderna Ryan Well, I don't know if it's out
29:02
Speaker 7: of the box, but effectively looking at you know, some
29:06
Speaker 7: of the work that we're already doing in terms of
29:08
Speaker 7: the space, and the most obvious thing is obviously wanting
29:11
Speaker 7: to have increasing police numbers because you know, they're having
29:15
Speaker 7: a police presence on the streets by always deters offending,
29:22
Speaker 7: So you know, that's a no brain or something to do.
29:25
Speaker 7: Sometimes the simple things are the most effective, and that's
29:27
Speaker 7: a really effective tool. And then as we move forward
29:31
Speaker 7: the use of technology, and there's lots of different ways
29:33
Speaker 7: in which you can use technology to help combat offenders,
29:38
Speaker 7: keeping stores safe for staff and customers. So it can
29:41
Speaker 7: be anything from body cameras to facial recognition to license
29:45
Speaker 7: plate recognition. There's a whole raft of other things as well,
29:49
Speaker 7: and the use of technology and training for staff is
29:51
Speaker 7: also really important.
29:53
Speaker 3: What about the more aggressive ones, Carolyn, And I know
29:56
Speaker 3: that some it's more dairy owners, some dairy owners who
29:59
Speaker 3: want to go to on this track, but allowing them
30:01
Speaker 3: to have you know, tasers or arm themselves and then
30:05
Speaker 3: be immune from prosecution should anything go wrong.
30:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I think that or certainly the police Minister
30:12
Speaker 7: is already looking at the role of security guards and
30:15
Speaker 7: I know yesterday there was a talk of extending that
30:18
Speaker 7: to retail workers on the sense a little bit around
30:24
Speaker 7: what might that look like and does that then encourage
30:26
Speaker 7: people that are going to offend to escalate the situation
30:30
Speaker 7: in advance so they're prepared for something like that. Neighboring
30:33
Speaker 7: other tools that could end in more and more violence
30:37
Speaker 7: in store. So he's to be really careful because we
30:39
Speaker 7: haven't really as a country or a nation, gone through
30:42
Speaker 7: a situation where we fight fire with fire, because it's
30:45
Speaker 7: not doesn't always work out that well.
30:47
Speaker 3: The fire is all coming one way at the moment, isn't.
30:50
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the same.
30:51
Speaker 7: It is all coming one way here, and I think that,
30:54
Speaker 7: you know, there might be some tools that might be appropriate,
30:56
Speaker 7: but things like guns and swords and things like that,
30:59
Speaker 7: I don't really think is a country want to head
31:00
Speaker 7: down that pathway, But you know, I guess the Advisory
31:04
Speaker 7: Group will look into that and we'll be doing our
31:06
Speaker 7: own research around that space to see what our members
31:09
Speaker 7: are telling us that they feel that they need.
31:11
Speaker 3: The opposition says that this is a talk fest. Do
31:14
Speaker 3: you know, is there a rest? This is just going
31:17
Speaker 3: to go around in circles and actually we'll be here
31:19
Speaker 3: again in two years.
31:21
Speaker 7: There is a risk of that. But we are leading
31:24
Speaker 7: a bunch of WOK that's looking at legislative change and
31:26
Speaker 7: how that can be a tool and a mechanism to
31:30
Speaker 7: help retailers were also obviously advocating on the use of
31:33
Speaker 7: technology to protect staff and stores. And if you can
31:36
Speaker 7: protect staff and stores, it reduces the needs for people
31:40
Speaker 7: to be having things like tases and be defending themselves.
31:45
Speaker 7: I certainly think that if you are having to defend
31:47
Speaker 7: yourself against criminals, that you don't want to be charged
31:50
Speaker 7: with that. But it's really thinking about do we want
31:52
Speaker 7: to encourage that and is that the right pathway forward.
31:56
Speaker 7: So there's certainly lots of We're working with the policemen us,
32:01
Speaker 7: the Justice Minister, of the Whippos Relations, We're working with
32:05
Speaker 7: the Police Commissioner as well, and we've got to remember
32:07
Speaker 7: at Woking groups who are actually doing this just and
32:10
Speaker 7: hope we compete in this group as well well well.

32:16
Speaker 3: will change. Carolyn, thank you very much for your time

32:39
Speaker 3: After six We were talking about sperm whales earlier on
32:42
Speaker 3: the program. Of course they're really slow swimmers, so they'll
32:44
Speaker 3: go about five and a half kilometers in our three knots.
32:47
Speaker 3: And what we can't work out is why they are
32:50
Speaker 3: able to catch the squid because they're so slow. How
32:53
Speaker 3: do they get the squid?
32:54
Speaker 8: This squid is so stupid. They just open their mouth
32:57
Speaker 8: and the squid walk quite right right on in.
32:58
Speaker 3: Might be what it is. I think that the research
33:01

33:04

33:16

33:18
Speaker 8: is that we're running out a natural gas. Like, we're
33:21
Speaker 8: running out of natural gas and it's been around for ages,
33:24
