• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a new deadline for Pootin. He's given him ten or
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: twelve days, so not a hard and fast deadline. Clearly
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to make a deal with Ukraine. He says an official
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: announcement is pending.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make a new deadline of about ten,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: ten or twelve days from today. There's no reason in

  Speaker 3: I want to be generous, but we just don't see

• 1:23
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk about that in a second. Massive
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: celebrations for England's line essays they won the Euro twenty
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: twenty five final against Spain. Chloe Kelly, who scored the
• 1:32

  Speaker 4: her heads and then of course taking the penalty. Are
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: heartually missed free penalties in training yesterday.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Back home, you probably would have heard about this, the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: annoying credit cards to charges you tap and go at
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: your supermarket and they charge you while they're gone from
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: next year. Retailers and hospital joints aren't too pleased because
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the banks are getting off scott free by still being
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: able to charge businesses for use.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: As we know, there's no free lunch that you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: retailers are going to have to absorb the fees that
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: they incur from those transactions and so retailers will need
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: to consider whether they have to increase their prices.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Nikola Willis says, don't do that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I would certainly encourage them not to do that, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I think you'd find that small businesses.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: No, it's pretty competitive world out there, and if they
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: do that, they might lose some shoppers.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Eight after five Get ahead of the headlines on early
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Branch and ex Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: homes warm and dry.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: This winter news talks a'd be like whack a mole,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: isn't it whack a mole for people who are trying
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to pay for their groceries every week and the government's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: desperate to show that they're doing something about cost of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: living and they're just whacking this little charge here and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: getting this little seurcharge there. And don't worry, we'll have
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a meeting with Miles Harrel about the butter. Does anyone
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: think anything will change? Probably not. This is from the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: what We're Thinking file. Really, this is the government quietly
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so didn't come out with a press release and a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: song and a dance, but quietly increasing the fees that
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: board members of Crown agencies will be paid. In some
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: cases by eighty percent. So the maximum, the top potential
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: annual fee for chairs of governance boards, that's going to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: increase to more than one hundred and sixty thousand dollars
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: from the current top which is ninety thousand. This is
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: so Labour's twenty twenty two framework said ninety k was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: your max and this government is saying no, actually your
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: MAC should be one hundred and sixty thousand. And the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: argument is, well, you need to be you need to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: have an attractive offer, You need to be competitive with
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the private sector. And if you are, you know, in
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: charge of a board or even on a board that
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: is overseeing billions and billions of dollars in you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in funding, then you should probably be quite competent. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: we want the best people in the job. So you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: can understand the argument. But for this government, not a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: great look. And also why would you put that out
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: albeit quietly, on the same day you give a ten
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: minute sermon from the pulpit about cost of living, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: like pick your days, where's the PR strategy? Where's the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: PR management here? Anyway, Also on the day that the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: nurses announced that they're going on strike, So what your
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: nurses aren't getting your inflation adjusted payment, but your board
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: members are getting up to eighty percent. Not a great look,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is it? Not a great look, even if it sort
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of makes sense. Now, just gone ten minutes, half to five,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: we will talk about Trump and his moving deadlines. He
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: loves a deadline, doesn't He loves a deadline mate arbitrary,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: completely pointless and meaningless, but self imposed to basically make
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: someone else sweat. It's the art of the deal. That's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what he does. So he's moving two deadlines today. One
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: is the I will come and hunt you down and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: get you with tariff's Russia if you don't stop the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: war in Ukraine. That deadline's moving. But also his deadline
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: for a deal with China on tariffs is set to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: expire August twelfth. He's moving that too. We'll have details
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: just before six eleven after five News Talks MB.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and ex Fole Insulation to keeping Kiwi Holmes
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: warm and dry. This winter News Talks at b five
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: point thirteen.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We've got a text here from Rob Ryan. We have
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: work for young intelligent people to do apprenticeships. Yes, that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: may well be true where you are, rob But the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: fact is that young people, if you look at the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: numbers out yesterday from Stats n Z, young people are
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: burying the brunt. The average for under thirty year olds
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in New Zealand is almost six percent fewer jobs now
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: than last year. That's the average. And in total we've
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: lost nearly thirty thousand jobs disappeared from the economy. Thank you,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Reserve Bank and your what that sound was, Thank you
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Reserve Bank and your interest, your manufactured recession. It is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand jobs is the cost and young people six
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: percent fewer jobs now than what they had last year.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to someone who's trying to get young people
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: into work about that in just a few moments time.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It's just gone fourteen after five. Ran Bridge Brook van
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Velden wants to change up regulation around scaffolding, but health
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and safety experts say relaxed scaffolding rules could have cost
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: us up to seventy lives in the past five years.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Chris Alderson is Chief executive of Construction, Health and Safety
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: New Zealand. Has looked me this morning, Hey Chris, Hey,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: how are you good? Thank you? What's the rule? When
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: do I need to put scaffolding up if i'm would
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: it ever happen on a single story house?
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, there was regulations or guidance that came in
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: around about twenty twelve, which I guess was the regulatory
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: shift we saw back then that look at scaffolding on
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: single story houses. Now, you know, under our Help and
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: Safety Work Act, you know, judges take guidance into account
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: when they're looking at the test for reasonable practicability. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: it kind of like the industry on that path from then.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: And look, there was a lot of questioning around that time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: I remember it around you know, was this overreach, was
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: this over kilder? We barely need it? And there's been
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: a few organizations that have had a look at it
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: since then. I mean, Brands did a report in twenty
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: seventeen which looked at the effect of scaffolding and single
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: story residential houses, and so I found that yes, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: there was a cost increase, but actually there's a major
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: safety improvement as well. And it's kind of we we've
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: been since then, so we haven't really looked at it
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: since twenty seventeen. But you know, if you go out
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: and talk to good builders, smart builders, what they will
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: tell you is that, Hey, there's a lot of benefits
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: other than the safety stuck around scoutled in these opportunities
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: as well, around productivity and things like that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Right, So, because I think for a lot of people
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: that single story house example is one that's kind of obvious.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Do you really need it? I mean would I guess
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the question is would people have died if we didn't
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: have it?
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: Yes?
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: So look our history of so all around the world,
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: falling from height is the number one reason you get
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: killed at work all around the world, no matter where
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: you look, the US, Australia, the UK except for one
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: little place and that's New Zealand. So in Czinland it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: not number one, which is interesting, right. And you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: when we look at all the fatalities we have had
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: a fullsome heighter around about six percent of them. If
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: you go to the UK twenty eight percent. To get
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: to Australia around about fifteen percent on average. So you
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: kind of go, well, there's there's a difference. So what
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: we're trying to talk about here is trying to talk
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: about something that didn't have and rather than did happen. Right,
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: So all you can do is look at that sort
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: of counterfactual and say, well, what do we do in
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: New Zealand that made our made us a little bit unusual.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And I think can really put our building.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well maybe maybe our people are taller. I don't know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: maybe gravity works differently in the door of the herbsphere. Maybe
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: you've had on it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So Chris, Chris. These changes the government says are out
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: for consultation. You know, everyone will get a chance to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: have their say. You're saying, actually, it's working fine as
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm saying that. Look, if you're going to make
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: a deregulatory move, then be really sure about your facts,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: because you know, we've all got opinions. We're all entitled
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: to our opinions, but we're all not entitled to our
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: own facts. And you've got to really be quite careful,
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: particularly when you're walking into an obviously higher risk area
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: where it does actually affect people's lives in the most
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: serious way. You know, these aren't I mean of a
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: flippant before, but you know there are. But you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: I've had people on projects or a person on project
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: that I ran, you know, fifteen years of the types
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: and heights. It's not something i'd wish on anybody.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Chris, Yeah, absolutely, I appreciate your time this morning.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: Chris.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Chris Alderson, a chief executive of Construction Health
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and Safety in New Zealand. No doubt, if you've seen
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: it happen, it's happened in front of you. It would
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: really ram at home, wouldn't it. But you've got to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: be safe. I saw a guy actually who was quite
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: a builder, who was going between two buildings on the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: roof and he just put a plank of wood down
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the other day. It would have been probably three more
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: than three meters high, and I did think there's it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: asking for trouble. Nineteen minutes after five news talks, he'd
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: be well, look at for those young people who are
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: in work, sorry, who are looking for work. We'll tell
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you what you need to do to set yourself apart
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: from other employees, because obviously you haven't got the experience.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: The job market at the moment is pretty loose. There
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: aren't that many jobs going around. You've got highest skilled
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: people coming in over the top of you trying to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: take your work, your entry level work. So what do
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you do? We'll talk about that next.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Views and Views you trust to start your day it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: earlier edition with Ryan Bridge at expol Insulation Keeping, Kiwi, Holmes,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Ward and Drey.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: This Winter News Talk sa'd be just gone twenty one
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: minutes after five. The UN's having a crack on Australia,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: trying to tell them what to do this one over
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: climate change. We'll look at that after the news at
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: five point thirty with Donald to Mayo out of Australia
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: right now. It is harder for young people to get
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a job at the moment, basically because there are a
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: fewer of them. Data from stats n Z shows nearly
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: thirty thousand jobs have disappeared from the job market in
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the last year. On average, people under thirty have a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: five point eight percent fewer jobs available than they did
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: last year. Zainab Ali is the CEO Youth Inspired with
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: me this morning Zane of Good morning, Good morning Ryan,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: How are you very well? Thank you. Now your job
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: is to get young people into work, especially those from
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: poorer backgrounds. What are you seeing at the moment? Are
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: people a young people as prepared for work as they
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: have always been or is this a hard market for them?
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: We are definitely feeling those stats in real life. It
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: is definitely harder at the moment to secure a job
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: as a young person compared to two to three years ago.
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: We've had to completely change the way we work at
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: Youth Inspire to ensure we still have ample, you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: opportunities for our young people. So our change in tactic
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: has really been a reflection of how much harder it
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: has gotten out there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: What have you changed, say, nib.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: I think really we've we've shifted completely away from you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: back we've been around for eleven years and Ryan, back
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: in the day we could kind of go through these
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: amazing courses where we where we upskill down anatahi and
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: you know, some of the really important soft skills that
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: employers tell us that they need, work with them on
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: a the v and a cover letter and kind of
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: get them into the job market very relatively easily. Compared
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: to now, we've had to completely switch and we now,
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: I would say, in the last six months, have one
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: hundred percent relied on job opportunities through our relationships, through
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: with our small to medium business partners and the goodwill
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: of our local community.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, why is that is that because the the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: old wiy of throwing in a and a cover letter
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to a random job is just not working anymore. There's
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: too many applicants.
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much You've nailed it. That's exactly
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: what we're finding. On top of that, what we're seeing
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: employers tell us is for entry level jobs is also
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: a mass kind of run of overseas applications that come through,
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: and so employers are almost you know, it's a form
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: of fatigue, right, and you know, they go through seventy
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: applications before they get to the first one that's possibly
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: a local application. And so you know, internet based, you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: websites like seek and trade me allow for a lot
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: of you know, applications that are just not suitable, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: so that paired with the fact that we do have
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: higher unemployment rates. For instance, Ryan, I've got a job,
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: you know, currently advertised, and the applications I'm getting, arguably,
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: I would say these are really over qualified candidates, you know,
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: that are applying for a more administration like jobs. So, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: it's kind of too pronged. But essentially there's a lot
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: of people and not enough jobs. If that makes sense.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: No, it makes perfect sense. Exactly what we're seeing in
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the numbers, and obviously reflected on what you're doing on
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the ground, so they't of appreciate your time this morning,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: zain't have. Ali's CEO Youth Inspire. Job is to find work,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: employment for young people who need it, who want it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Basically the message here it's the old saying, it's who
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you know, not what you know, isn't that twenty five
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: after five News Talk c B. We'll look at the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: nurses strike, which by the way, is happening tomorrow. So

  Speaker 2: It'll affect anywhere that health. New Zealand provides health or
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: hospital care, so your clinics but also your hospitals and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of course the middle of winter, so great timing. Nurses
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: union being bargaining the usual staff pay, staffing levels. Also
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: as usual they say it's life or death you will
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: be seen to. They had a bargaining meeting yesterday with
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Health New Zealand obviously didn't go well. They've been bargaining
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: since last September. The nurses say two short staffed, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: your nurses who are leaving are not being replaced. However,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Health New Zealand says a new graduate nurse on seventy
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: five thousand dollars would get a total pay increase of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: eight and a half thousand dollars. It's eleven percent by
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the end of June next year. And what's more, they
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: say the average salary for both senior and registered nurses
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: including overtime allowances and penal rates of one hundred and
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: twenty five grand. Until these guys sought out who's right
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and come to some sort of agreement, this may not
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be the last hospital stripe that we patients must endure
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: this winter. Ryan Bridge coming up to News at five

  Speaker 2: jobless numbers from yesterday. If everyone has paid the same,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: why would you take an inexperienced young person on with
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: no work history, says Cheryl. Cheryl, good morning. It's a
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: good point. That's why young people are missing out. We
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: just spoke to a careers advisor who's trying to get
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: young people into work and having quite a bit of trouble.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe if they had the work ethic of the England
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: defender Lucy Bronze, they might be okay. This woman, young
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: woman took part in the Euro's final against Spain. Obviously

• 19:08
  Speaker 11: and I've just hurt my knee today on the other leg.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's now a hero of course in the UK.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: The team knew about the injury but kept it under wraps.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: The tibia in case you haven't broken it or hurt
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: it before. That's your main weight bearing bone between your
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: knee and your ankle, so quite important, especially if you're
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: playing football. I would have fought twenty two minutes away

  Speaker 2: paneled to decide whether periodic openings to the sea should
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: be allowed at the Southland Lagoon. Why is that?

  Speaker 12: Yeah, so the Wayituna Lagoon is located southeast of in
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: the Cargo next to Toto's Bay and forms part of
• 20:00
  Speaker 12: an internationally significant wetland environment. Southland Petonga or our Wadowa
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: and the Department of Conservation are co applicants for this
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: new opening consent and the application attracted fifty one submissions
• 20:13
  Speaker 12: last year and over the next three days, nineteen submitters

  Speaker 12: will speak to a panel of three independent commissioners. Planning,
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: science and legally experts will also be present.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather.
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: So it's a bit cloudy today with a few showers
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: most likely from this afternoon with some northeasterlies turning westerly tonight.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Nice one, Claire and christ Church Good morning, Claire, Good morning. Nay,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: we've got staffing shortages. We've got nurses going on strike
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: because of staffing shortages tomorrow, but also South Island Hospital
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: raising the alarm about staffing.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is after of course christ Church Hospital
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: yesterday were revealed as very understaffed and our Health New
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Zealand has confirmed that they're working at pace to bolster
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: workforce at Timidu Hospital, where forty percent of resident doctor
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: roles are currently vacant. The Resident Doctor Association revealed there
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: are sixteen resident doctors working on a roster which needs
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: twenty seven to be fully staffed. It says that individual
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: doctors are ending up covering the workload of three. Health
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: New Zealand's Rachel Mills has responded to us saying, look,
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: this is a shortage. Indeed, it's been driven by several
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: doctors unexpectedly returning to the UK or taking roles elsewhere.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: She says, while they're working on a long term fix,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: they're also working with changing some clinical structures to free
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: up senior doctors time and also proactively engaging with agencies
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: in hopes of attracting locums.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: How's your weather clear?
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Mostly cloudy today, a shah or two possible northerly strong
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: and exposed places and a higher fifteen.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Nice one. Thank you to Wellington. Max is with us,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Hey Max, good morning. Wellington councilors the most complained about
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: in the country.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, in this week's least surprising news. That's compared to
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: councilors and other regions and relates to complaints from staff
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: about counselors. And there were six official campaign complaints in
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: the past a year or so. We haven't been told
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: who these complaints were made about, exactly just what inappropriate
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: behavior on social media, speaking to staff in a demeaning
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: and aggressive way, defamation, threatening, bullying, false accusations, condescending and
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: politically intimidating behavior. For comparison, three christ Church councilors staff complaints,
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: two complaints about counselors in Auckland. Yeah, no big surprises here.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Wellington's been a toxic mess the past two and a
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: half years. It's very political, very dirty, very accusatory. The Mayor,
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: Tori Fano, says the long term plan process brought out
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: the worst in people, but she won't say whether she
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: is the subject of one of those complaints.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Ah is the clanger. What does politically intimidating mean?
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: Well, I suppose vote this way or will ostracize you,
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: you know, if you're a labor affiliated counselor. For instance,
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: talking about the airport shares sale debate was awfully fierce
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: at the time.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, because I guess everyone's just wondering. Are Wellington
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: City Council staff a bunch of wisses? You know what
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: You wouldn't find many who disagreed with that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Okay. How's the weather max.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Rain increasing as the day goes on, strong southerlyast fifteen
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: the hay All right, thank.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: You neither good morning morning, good morning. You get a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: homeless update, yes, now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: Look, our housing spokesperson says that the homelessness growth around
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: the country's matching the rate of Auckland. That's not going
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: to come as a surprise to many. So this is
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: the figures that were collated by Auckland Council and they
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: show the number of rough sleepers in the areas almost
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: doubled in less than a year. There were apparently eight
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: hundred and nine homeless people. That was in May, ninety
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: percent more than in September. So I Hudson, he is
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: speaking on behalf of the Salvation Army. He's saying that, Look,
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: they're hearing the same thing from communities nationwide. Some places. Look,
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: there's just isn't enough housing. We know that, and you
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: know this conversation has been going on and in other areas.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: He's saying that people aren't being referred for housing.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Interesting. My friend lives in near the city, central City,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and she goes down and often will chat to the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: homeless down in the park. She said the other day
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: the council was there pulling all of their stuff out
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of the year. When they went there, they were pulling
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: all the tents out and sleeping bags, stuff that she'd
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: actually donated to them. And then they go and store
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: it somewhere, which sounds like a bit of it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: And then what happens and so did they think about
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: it at night or they don't have them? They're just
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: cold and shivering.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: They don't have them. Apparently it's a policy that they
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: do to try and get them into some sort of housing. Yeah,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: you almost sort of negotiate once you've done that.
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: But issues issues is not it doesn't happen Overnight's the
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: weather Neva rain, rain, and are very blustery, strong ones

• 26:17
  Speaker 2: US correspondent just a few moments first, though, do Ona
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: to Mayow out of Australia, do on a good morning.
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: Good morning to you.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: So the UN is putting the episcy little nose in
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: your business now and is saying to you basically, when
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: it comes to climate change, aim a little higher.
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: Yes, be more ambitious on climate action. These words from
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: the UN's Climate Chief Simon Steele. He was speaking at
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: an event hosted by the Smart Energy Council, and he's
• 26:45
  Speaker 13: saying that Australia should really be more ambitious. As we've mentioned,
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: he said colossal economic rewards could be reaped by aiming higher. Now,
• 26:54
  Speaker 13: Australia has pledged to reduce emissions by forty three percent
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: by twenty thirty. However, it is reported that we remain
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: one of the biggest polluters per capita, and there has
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: been some criticism for the continuing reliance on fossil fuel.
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: Now these comments come as the Opposition MP Barnaby Joyce
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: former WUTPM Mandu he has moved a bill to overturn
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: Australia's goal of net zero emission by twenty fifty. We
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: also know the Labor government is currently considering its new
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: reduction target by for twenty thirty five. I should say
• 27:27
  Speaker 13: now that's going to be announced in September. So mister
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: Steele says that failure to go big it can risk
• 27:35
  Speaker 13: regional stability and living standards, as he put it, considered
• 27:39
  Speaker 13: the alternative missing this opportunity and letting the world overheat.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure saying aim when it comes to a
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: missions aim higher is the right language to use. Oh yeah,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: actually he's got it around the wrong way, Donna, thank
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: you for that. Donald Australia correspondent just gone eleven minutes
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: away from Sex Great so Trump new deadline for Russia,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: new deadline for Russia. Trump's giving potin a deadline of
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: ten or twelve days to make a deal with over Ukraine.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make a new deadline of about ten,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: ten or twelve days from today. There's no reason in waiting.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: There's no reason in waiting. It's fifty days. I want
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: to be generous, but we just don't see any progress
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: being made.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So he did give fifty days. You'll remember otherwise he said,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: very severe terrorists will be coming to Russia and Russia's
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: trading partners, which would of course include China, so what
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: happens here? Tony Waterman, US correspondent, feature story in News Tony,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: good morning, Welcome to the program.
• 28:43
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Thanks for having me, Tony.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: What is anyone taking this seriously? I mean, when you
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: give a deadline of fifty days and then you come
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: and say, no, we've got a new deadline. It could
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: be ten, it could be twelve. We're not sure.
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, the President has been for months now
• 28:59
  Speaker 14: giving a two week deadline to the Kremlins. So when
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: the fifty day deadline was announced earlier this month, everybody
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: said that is an extremely long runway for Russia, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: everybody kind of shrugged it off. So whether or not
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: we see anything in the next ten to twelve days
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: is really.
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: Up to Putin.
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: At this point, we haven't heard anything any sort of
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: response from the Kremlin to this latest move by Trump,
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: but Dmitri Mendettev, who is the former Russian president, set
• 29:29
  Speaker 14: on social media that Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia,
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: but that Trump should remember Russia is an Israel, that
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: it's not Iran, and that each new ultimatum is a
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: threat and a step towards war, not between Russia and Ukraine.
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: But a war with his own country. So he's implying,
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: of course, that these types of games could lead to
• 29:49
  Speaker 14: a war between the United States and Russia. But the
• 29:52
  Speaker 14: President earlier today repeated what has now become sort of
• 29:56
  Speaker 14: his common refrain, saying that he's disappointed.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: For not ending this war.
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: He feels as if he's been strung along that the
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: Russian president has signaled that he would take these peace
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: negotiations seriously and then is bombing the Smithereens out of
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: Ukraine the following day.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: So ten to twelve.
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: Days, he left the door open for more negotiations, saying
• 30:18
  Speaker 14: that a deal could be reached. But you're right with
• 30:20
  Speaker 14: the secondary tariffs that he's threatening if this deadline is
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: not met, one hundred percent tariffs on any country that
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: buys Russian energy. That is going to impact not just
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: China but also Russia, who are huge consumers of Russian oil.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's fascinating, isn't it, Because on the same day
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you've got him saying I'll move the deadline for China
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: on tariffs and extend that this is the more substantive
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: trade talk. You've also got him saying I'll reduce the
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: deadline on Russia and that could potentially bring an even
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: bigger tariffs for the lives of China.
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: I mean with this trade ward that the President kicked
• 30:56
  Speaker 14: off in April and then paused and is now scrambling
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: to make all of these trade negotiations, one of the
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: countries that was not included, almost the only country that
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: was not included was Russia itself. It somehow dodged the
• 31:09
  Speaker 14: trade war bullet when he made the announcement on Liberation Day.
• 31:13
  Speaker 14: But you're right, they could be now facing not just
• 31:16
  Speaker 14: more sanctions, which the President talked about today, didn't give details,
• 31:20
  Speaker 14: but said he would impose more sanctions, but also a
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: one hundred percent tariff on countries that trade with Russia
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: that's on goods coming into the United States. So it's
• 31:30
  Speaker 14: American public again that will be paying the price for that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 14: But they could be at the losing end of the stick.
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: But again, for months and months and months now, Donald
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: Trump has given Russia two weeks to come to the
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: negotiating table to take this seriously, and its point, Russia
• 31:47
  Speaker 14: just seems to be shrugging that thread off.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Tony. You appreciate you Tom this morning, Tony Wodam and
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: US correspondent Fiature storying news. It's seven minutes away from
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: six o'clock. They French, by the way, don't like the deal,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: with the eight year America deal. They the Prime Minister.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: They're calling it a dark day for Europe. When one
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: of your allies, he says, it is a dark day
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: when an alliance of free peoples brought together to affirm
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: their common values and to defend their common interest resigns
