0:15
Speaker 2: this is in the last couple of minutes. Stay at home.
0:17
Speaker 2: They're use in crowded areas there to launch attack, so

0:31
Speaker 2: And Simon Brown here on junior doctors. The agenda. Monday,
0:37
Speaker 2: the ninth of March. Jurand's Assembly of Experts has reportedly
0:39
Speaker 2: decided on a new leader, new Supreme Leader. Trump wants
0:42
Speaker 2: to be involved in all of this.
0:44
Speaker 1: Course, we don't want to come back every five years
0:46
Speaker 1: or every ten years to do this, so we want
0:48
Speaker 1: to pick a president that are going to be leading
0:51
Speaker 1: their country into a war.
0:52
Speaker 2: Israel's president has called on Iranians to rise up.
0:55
Speaker 3: An opportunity for them.
0:57
Speaker 4: This is the big test, this is the big historical
1:00
Speaker 4: moment that's real faced with.
1:02
Speaker 2: And we've just heard from the UK Foreign second the
1:05
Speaker 2: last three while on the Trump Starman drama.
1:07
Speaker 5: Of course we have a long, deep, important security partnership
1:12
Speaker 5: with the United States, but we also have some issues
1:15
Speaker 5: where we disagree.
1:16
Speaker 2: Look in the British and another news drama mess at
1:19
Speaker 2: the Formula one in Melbourne, which we were expecting, weren't
1:22
Speaker 2: we given all the changes they've made. Mercedes took to
1:24
Speaker 2: the top two spots. Liam Lawson slipped back to thirteenth
1:28
Speaker 2: after battery issues hit him, and Rating champ Oscar Pistree
1:32
Speaker 2: crashed in the warm up.
1:33
Speaker 3: Oscar ps three on the lapse of a grit has.
1:37
Speaker 6: Lost it or we've not seen anything on the data
1:40
Speaker 6: so far, you saying anything on the radio, So we'll
1:43
Speaker 6: do a first mortem after the race and see what happened.
1:50
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
1:54
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love.
1:56
Speaker 2: Where you live news talks. It'd be N nine two
1:59
Speaker 2: great to heavy company this morning. So India thrashing the
2:01
Speaker 2: black Caps. You might have heard the update from Andrew
2:03
Speaker 2: They're India thrashing the black Caps in the two twenty
2:05
Speaker 2: World Cup, posting two five five for five. New Zeala
2:08
Speaker 2: needs two hundred and nine runs and ninety one balls
2:11
Speaker 2: to win. Now, so the Indians are thrashing us in
2:16
Speaker 2: the cricket. Is Luxean's caucus going to thrash him over
2:19
Speaker 2: that poll last week? Probably not. Let's be honest. He's
2:22
Speaker 2: not going to go far, is he. So he's sitting
2:25
Speaker 2: on national twenty eight point four percent. Winston and Seymour
2:28
Speaker 2: will like it, by the way, because a week at
2:30
Speaker 2: National Party means more votes for them to gobble up,
2:32
Speaker 2: more power that they could get. And you don't want
2:34
Speaker 2: anyone who's too good to be leader of the National
2:37
Speaker 2: Party because then you don't get to run rings around them,
2:40
Speaker 2: do you. So from their perspective, it's good to keep
2:42
Speaker 2: him on board and the party's not going to if
2:45
Speaker 2: you look, if you look, if the recovery was happening
2:49
Speaker 2: and there was no war in Iran then and you
2:53
Speaker 2: were sitting in the back benches and you were agitated,
2:55
Speaker 2: then you might go, you let's roll them. But who
2:58
Speaker 2: wants to take on the role now where you potentially
3:01
Speaker 2: have a you know, inflation coming, oil price going up.
3:06
Speaker 2: Look at Goldman Sacks, gold and Sacks overnight and they're
3:09
Speaker 2: the ones who know about oil. So I mean this
3:12
Speaker 2: thing just needs to end for anyone who drives a car,
3:15
Speaker 2: anyone who buys something at the grocery shop. You just
3:18
Speaker 2: want this thing to be bloody over with, don't you,
3:20
Speaker 2: Because our inflation's going to spike, and then the RBNZ
3:24
Speaker 2: comes along and then it's all, you know, consumer confidence,
3:26
Speaker 2: et cetera. But Goldman Sacks, so they look at the
3:29
Speaker 2: global oil price one hundred bucks. They reckon within days.
3:33
Speaker 2: Remember where we were last week, we were down at
3:35
Speaker 2: well a couple of weeks ago, it's seventy four odd,
3:37
Speaker 2: then eighty four odd, and then they reckon within a
3:40
Speaker 2: couple of days, one hundred by the end of the month,
3:44
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty. They're predicting, and gold and Sacks
3:48
Speaker 2: know a thing or two about what they're talking about.
3:50
Speaker 2: They thought that production and going through the strait of
3:54
Speaker 2: her moves would go down to fifteen percent. It's actually
3:57
Speaker 2: gone down the trade to ten percent, worse than they thought.
4:01
Speaker 2: They looked at the trade flows and they said the
4:03
Speaker 2: impact was seventeen times larger than the peak April twenty
4:07
Speaker 2: twenty two hit to Russia production after they went into Ukraine,
4:12
Speaker 2: and that pushed to the oil price to one hundred
4:14
Speaker 2: and ten dollars a barrel. In summary, things don't look
4:17
Speaker 2: great on the world front and that may in some
4:21
Speaker 2: perverse way shelter luxen on the domestic front. Bryan Bridge
4:26
Speaker 2: after five, we have simm And Brown, the Health Minister
4:28
Speaker 2: on the show. Next to News Talk said be on.
4:30
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early edition with
4:35
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you live News
4:39
Speaker 1: Talk sadb.
4:40
Speaker 2: FI point thirteen on your Monday morning. Fonterra has confirmed
4:43
Speaker 2: that the sale of its consumer groups to the French
4:46
Speaker 2: is happening. It's now unconditional. All the regulatory approvals, everything,
4:49
Speaker 2: all that stuff has been stamped. So good it's being done.
4:52
Speaker 2: You'll remember they said to be a capital return of
4:54
Speaker 2: two bucks to shared to shareholders and they have now
4:57
Speaker 2: given some dates. So Fonterra can today advised that it
5:00
Speaker 2: expects the record date to be eligible for capital return
5:05
Speaker 2: to be the ninth of April. Payment date fourteen April
5:09
Speaker 2: twenty twenty sixth Now that is based off the transaction
5:13
Speaker 2: being completed at the end of March. It is till
5:16
Speaker 2: thirteen after five.
5:17
Speaker 1: Braham Bridge.
5:18
Speaker 2: Changes are coming to boost the primary healthcare workforce health
5:21
Speaker 2: new Zealand will now become the direct employer for all
5:24
Speaker 2: first year GP trainees. Move means trainee doctors can keep
5:28
Speaker 2: their leave, their pay and their continuity. This is all
5:31
Speaker 2: apparently very important. Simmon Brown is a health minster with
5:33
Speaker 2: us this morning. Minister, good morning, good morning. Good Have
5:36
Speaker 2: you on the show had any conversations at the weekend
5:39
Speaker 2: about your boss?
5:40
Speaker 7: Now, we're completely behind Chris Luxen, very focused on winning
5:44
Speaker 7: in November and making sure that New Zealanders are reminded
5:47
Speaker 7: that the challenges we're facing today are a direct result
5:50
Speaker 7: of the decisions made by Chris Hipkins and the later party,
5:53
Speaker 7: and that we need to continue on the plan that
5:56
Speaker 7: we've got by re electing a national lead government led
5:58
Speaker 7: by Christopher Luxen, who we the National Party caucus is
6:03
Speaker 7: in complete resupport of our leader. You've a focused on
6:07
Speaker 7: winning in November.
6:09
Speaker 2: Have you all had a group convo?
6:12
Speaker 7: Look, ultimately, we are focused on winning in November. The
6:15
Speaker 7: caucuses behind out our leader, behind our prime Minister. Well,
6:20
Speaker 7: the reality is we accept there are challenges facing New
6:23
Speaker 7: Zealanders and many of those challenges are a direct result
6:26
Speaker 7: of the decisions made by the previous government.
6:29
Speaker 2: We focused on lasuring I don't want to spend too
6:34
Speaker 2: long on this, Minister, because we've got actually, you know,
6:36
Speaker 2: important stuff to talk about. But I just want to know,
6:38
Speaker 2: how do you know that the entire caucus backs well.
6:42
Speaker 7: We're focused on winning in November. We're not focused on
6:46
Speaker 7: polls come and go. The reality is the only pole
6:49
Speaker 7: that matters is the one in November, and that's the
6:51
Speaker 7: one that is where the team focused on winning.
6:53
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, the doctors, what's happening here?
6:56
Speaker 7: Well, Health New Zealand has agreed to be the employer
7:00
Speaker 7: effect effectively, to continue being the employer for first year
7:04
Speaker 7: GPEP doctors, which is the first year of general practice training.
7:09
Speaker 7: It's been one of the barriers to encouraging doctors to
7:12
Speaker 7: consider specializing as general practitioners because effectively they become employees
7:18
Speaker 7: of the Royal College, they lose their leaf balances and
7:22
Speaker 7: other conditions, and that can be a challenge in terms
7:25
Speaker 7: of recruiting the number of general practitioners that we need
7:28
Speaker 7: as a country. So the agreements we made that Health
7:31
Speaker 7: New Zealand will continue employing our doctors as they start
7:35
Speaker 7: their specialization as general practitioners and effectively this has been
7:39
Speaker 7: something which has been recommended for some time and as
7:42
Speaker 7: part of our plan to grow the number of gps
7:45
Speaker 7: that we have in New Zealand, which is as everyone knows,
7:48
Speaker 7: an area which is needing significant investment, which we're.
7:53
Speaker 2: Cost us any more money to do it that way,
7:55
Speaker 2: or are you just rejigging them not.
7:57
Speaker 7: Ready effectively rejigging what's currently Why.
8:00
Speaker 2: Has no one done it then? I mean you said
8:02
Speaker 2: that it's been on the books for aight.
8:04
Speaker 7: It was, it was recommended, I think back in twenty
8:06
Speaker 7: twenty two. There was a report done back then. Ultimately
8:11
Speaker 7: we've got round and done it. There's been a number
8:13
Speaker 7: of other changes we've also made to try and encourage
8:16
Speaker 7: further GP specialization. Another one I announced last year which
8:20
Speaker 7: was that we would cover the fees for general practitioners
8:24
Speaker 7: for their training and exams through for the full three years,
8:28
Speaker 7: something that was done for other specialist special specializations but
8:32
Speaker 7: not for general practitioners. So effectively, we want to see
8:35
Speaker 7: general practitioners seen as a key specialty.
8:38
Speaker 2: We want to.
8:38
Speaker 7: Encourage young doctors, new doctors to take up under practitioning
8:43
Speaker 7: as a practice as a key specialty. And this is
8:46
Speaker 7: another part of that. Another part of that plan.
8:48
Speaker 2: Stuff Hey, appreciate your time this morning, minister, thanks very
8:50
Speaker 2: much for being with me. Thank you Siming Brown Health Minister.
8:53
Speaker 2: Time is five to seventeen. We'll get an update from
8:56
Speaker 2: Andrew on the cricket in the SEC.
9:00
Speaker 1: And views you trust to start your day. It's earlier
9:03
Speaker 1: this ship with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where
9:07
Speaker 1: you live news talks.
9:08
Speaker 2: That'd been nineteen minutes after five on your Monday morning.
9:10
Speaker 2: Great to have your company. Not so great to be
9:12
Speaker 2: a black cat right now. I would have thought things
9:14
Speaker 2: aren't going smashingly for them, Andrew.
9:16
Speaker 8: They're going pretty smashingly for India with two hundred and
9:19
Speaker 8: fifty five for five on the board, h Ryan. Yeah,
9:23
Speaker 8: just a seamless highlights for real, really for them with
9:25
Speaker 8: the bat given them the opportunity, they decided to field first,
9:29
Speaker 8: just preps having for a bit of dew on the
9:31
Speaker 8: field later on into the evening at Armadabad. But yeah,
9:35
Speaker 8: it's going to be a struggle from here.
9:36
Speaker 2: I think.
9:36
Speaker 8: Just last I saw as I came in, I think
9:38
Speaker 8: seventy one for four New Zealand in the eighth over.
9:42
Speaker 8: But it's going to be a battle. It's yeah that Yeah,
9:46
Speaker 8: they just really struggled with the ball and the opposit
9:48
Speaker 8: to the extra pace bowler. But yeah, I think maybe
9:51
Speaker 8: just taking the pace off it may have made a difference.
9:53
Speaker 8: But very easy in hindsight to say, but New Zealand
9:56
Speaker 8: are going to struggle here.
9:57
Speaker 2: I think, Okay, all right, we'll keep watching brief and
9:59
Speaker 2: you keep us updated through the morning, and we will
10:01
Speaker 2: do now that If one will worry is great, if
10:05
Speaker 2: one is if something positive, yeah, let's go Warriors first.
10:10
Speaker 8: Then yeah with the w as my children say. Yeah,
10:14
Speaker 8: so they've produced a really convincing performance against the rus
10:17
Speaker 8: is what forty two eighteen. I tuned into it of
10:19
Speaker 8: that on Friday, and oh, it's just a really impressive
10:23
Speaker 8: start to the season. Just uplifting the crowds in there.
10:28
Speaker 8: It mounts smart and I think too. I don't know,
10:31
Speaker 8: is it just an instinct for me, but the better
10:34
Speaker 8: Warrior seasons start when there's less hype and less about
10:38
Speaker 8: keeping the faith and it's our year, et cetera, et cetera.
10:40
Speaker 8: Doesn't it doesn't feel like there's been as much of
10:42
Speaker 8: that this time around.
10:43
Speaker 2: So well that's good. Yeah, I was really impressed. So yeah,
10:47
Speaker 2: now what to do we have to do? How to
10:50
Speaker 2: treat them top notch. The Formula one jeez, sounds a
10:53
Speaker 2: little bit mess all over the place.
10:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, especially with now that they're moving to these
10:57
Speaker 8: well electric versus a combustion engine.
10:59
Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk about how safe that is.
11:02
Speaker 8: I think I saw from me in deefending champion now
11:05
Speaker 8: Landon Lorris, but also past Jimi MaTx with Stubb and
11:07
Speaker 8: talking about that and worried that with the extra power
11:10
Speaker 8: as well, that it's going to be a situation where
11:14
Speaker 8: there could be wherese accidents and therefore be safety is
11:18
Speaker 8: at risk. But disappointment for the Australian fans too. Oscar
11:21
Speaker 8: Piastree out even before getting to the starting line and
11:25
Speaker 8: Liam Lawson with his thirteenth place finish so disappointed to
11:29
Speaker 8: be out of the points for him to start off
11:31
Speaker 8: with racing balls.
11:33
Speaker 2: Leave it there, Andrew, thank you very much and we
11:35
Speaker 2: will look forward to those crooked updates throughout the show.
11:37
Speaker 2: This morning twenty two after five Andrew orders in the
11:40
Speaker 2: Sport Ryan Bridge. A couple of things to note from
11:43
Speaker 2: the weekend. You might have seen the Iranian president come
11:45
Speaker 2: out and say, ah, We're sorry to the Golf States
11:48
Speaker 2: because they're hitsing the Golf States, not just military but
11:51
Speaker 2: US military basis and the Golf States. But they're also
11:53
Speaker 2: heading civilian targets, you know, hotels and stuff like that.
11:57
Speaker 2: It's like, what are you doing? So the Iranian president
11:59
Speaker 2: comes out and see, oh, I'm sorry about that, not
12:01
Speaker 2: just not not like a sorry, not sorry, which is
12:05
Speaker 2: what they normally might do, you know, you know, something
12:09
Speaker 2: much more timid like we you know, express regret. One
12:14
Speaker 2: of those they actually said, we're sorry and we will
12:17
Speaker 2: stop doing it. I mean they haven't stopped doing it,
12:20
Speaker 2: but what happened was once you take out and the
12:22
Speaker 2: Americans took out the top brass, military, top brass, over
12:25
Speaker 2: and around, then you have a fire at will command.
12:27
Speaker 2: And that's what you've seen is you've just seen kamikazi
12:30
Speaker 2: drones just everywhere. So they come out, they say sorry,
12:34
Speaker 2: and then you think, well, what is this? Is this
12:35
Speaker 2: a strategy? Are you just trying to appease them? But
12:38
Speaker 2: since they have said sorry and we won't do it again,
12:40
Speaker 2: we've seen strikes on Kata, the uae Qh, Bahrain. They're
12:44
Speaker 2: even going after water desalination plants in Bahrain. And if
12:48
Speaker 2: you want to drink water, and bah Rain. It's got
12:50
Speaker 2: to come from a de cell plant, so things not
12:52
Speaker 2: looking great there. Also, this is just one to watch
12:55
Speaker 2: from last night. This is an Oslo, Norwegian capital at
13:00
Speaker 2: the US embassy and they are looking into it as
13:03
Speaker 2: an act of terrorism. Nothing major, like a bit of
13:06
Speaker 2: glass falling on the snow because obviously it's winter. There
13:10
Speaker 2: explosion at the public entrance to the building, but they're
13:12
Speaker 2: just not quite sure why at this point, suspecting or
13:16
Speaker 2: at least investigating as possible terrorism. Twenty three after five
13:20
Speaker 2: News Talk VB. Fines and Parking next the early.
13:24
Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio power by News.
13:28
Speaker 2: Talks v News TALKSB twenty five after five on your
13:33
Speaker 2: Monday morning, This country's fines. You've probably noticed this make
13:37
Speaker 2: very little sense. You can get seventy bucks for parking
13:40
Speaker 2: for a few minutes over in the wrong spot in
13:42
Speaker 2: a CBD area. One hundred and fifty dollars for driving
13:45
Speaker 2: in a bus lane, which is a massive really, that's
13:48
Speaker 2: a big fine by comparison, and that is the exact
13:51
Speaker 2: same amount you can get for texting while driving, an
13:54
Speaker 2: act which could in theory distract you enough to kill
13:57
Speaker 2: somebody on the road, So that kind of makes no sense.
14:00
Speaker 2: So what gives you can get thirty bucks for going
14:03
Speaker 2: a few k's over one hundred on a main road.
14:05
Speaker 2: Anyone who's been to Australia, those things are very different.
14:08
Speaker 2: They're way harsher. People generally follow the rules of the road.
14:11
Speaker 2: As a result. You might have seen that if you're
14:13
Speaker 2: driven over an oz, but that doesn't mean that no
14:17
Speaker 2: one's crashing there and no one's dying on their roads either,
14:19
Speaker 2: does it. The problem is revenue gathering. As you well know,
14:23
Speaker 2: if you actually set the fines based on the potential
14:26
Speaker 2: damage that an action may cause, we'd have a totally
14:29
Speaker 2: different system and set of punishments. But you would also
14:33
Speaker 2: have councils and cops who take the mickey and go
14:36
Speaker 2: revenue grab speeding cameras in areas where no one's seen
14:40
Speaker 2: a crash in decades. That kind of thing. That's basically
14:43
Speaker 2: why we are who we are. There is one change, though,
14:47
Speaker 2: that I think we can make, one that I support,
14:50
Speaker 2: Wait for it, free parking for those over the age
14:54
Speaker 2: of eighty, get rid of the parking charges all together. Therefore,
14:58
Speaker 2: get rid of the fines. For gore already does this,
15:02
Speaker 2: Congratulations Gore, welcome to the party, or Amadu is looking
15:06
Speaker 2: at doing this at the moment. They've got new parking
15:09
Speaker 2: meters installed in town you see happen in December. And
15:13
Speaker 2: apparently this is according to age concern making the elderly
15:17
Speaker 2: very anxious because they're digital. So you get two hours free,
15:21
Speaker 2: but then you have to enter your details of your
15:23
Speaker 2: car for a third hour, and they're very anxious about
15:27
Speaker 2: doing this in a digital way, and so they say
15:30
Speaker 2: the fear of getting a seventy dollars ticket is so
15:33
Speaker 2: much so great that they just don't go into town.
15:37
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that's seriously sad. I think a massive
15:41
Speaker 2: setback for an older person. You're not going in there
15:43
Speaker 2: chatting to people in the mall, to the shop owners,
15:45
Speaker 2: to the cafe owners. It's less socializing, less practical, losing
15:49
Speaker 2: your independence for fear of a fine. I think it's unfair.
15:52
Speaker 2: If you've made it to eighty, you deserve to go
15:55
Speaker 2: to town in your own car without being worried of half
15:59
Speaker 2: your pension flying out the window and fines. Shall I
16:03
Speaker 2: support you, Amdu. I hope that you give the big
16:06
Speaker 2: tick as Gore has done. Right. It is twenty eight
16:09
Speaker 2: minutes after five. Let's talk a little bit about the
16:12
Speaker 2: price of stuff that's going up, because there's a bunch
16:14
Speaker 2: of releases came out over the weekends, so retailing z
16:17
Speaker 2: retailers say, oh, we're monitoring the situation in the Middle East.
16:21
Speaker 2: We may need to increase our prices if the unrest
16:25
Speaker 2: in the Middle East Middle East continues. That's Carolyn Young.
16:28
Speaker 2: Transport operators, they've put that one out too. Transport of
16:32
Speaker 2: prices operators must pass on the substantial fuel price increases
16:37
Speaker 2: resulting from the Iran conflicts, as the National Road Carriers Association,
16:43
Speaker 2: so prices a hike, price hikes are coming. I mean
16:46
Speaker 2: we've been telling you this for a couple of weeks
16:48
Speaker 2: now that what are we entering our second week of this.
16:51
Speaker 2: But I think you just got to now say we
16:53
Speaker 2: need a time limit on this, please, Donald Trump. You
16:57
Speaker 2: know we're not We're not kicking up, but we just
16:59
Speaker 2: need to time limit. Please. We need to know by
17:02
Speaker 2: when that straight is going to open, things can unblock
17:06
Speaker 2: and unclog and we can get on with our business
17:10
Speaker 2: news talks. B We'll head to the US and the
17:13
Speaker 2: UK before top of the hour for an update on
17:15
Speaker 2: the aforementioned News Talks Bare State.
17:32

17:39
Speaker 1: Where You Live News Talks b.
17:47
Speaker 2: Twenty four Away from six news Talks were head to
17:49
Speaker 2: Washington on the Wall before six o'clock. We'll also head
17:51
Speaker 2: to the UK. Canada is saying they want changes to
17:55
Speaker 2: the line of succession rules. We will go to Gavin
17:57
Speaker 2: and the UK on that shortly. Get to our reporters
17:59
Speaker 2: in the Sex. A couple of your texts this morning,
18:02
Speaker 2: Ryan totaling a city is ruined after they brought in
18:05
Speaker 2: the meters for parking in the city. Nobody goes to
18:08
Speaker 2: town now there's a seventy dollar fine there. Also if
18:11
Speaker 2: you go over the limits, everybody's too scared. Same with
18:14
Speaker 2: the bus lanes. No one uses a bus lane. Even
18:18
Speaker 2: because bus lanes are timed. You can use a bus
18:20
Speaker 2: lane or for most of them outside certain hours. But
18:24
Speaker 2: if you drive anywhere there's a bus lane, no matter
18:27
Speaker 2: what time of day, no one is using it for fear.
18:29
Speaker 2: Everybody is too frightened getting one hundred and fifty dollars fine. Ryan.
18:33
Speaker 2: The Palmerston North City Council has a deal for local
18:36
Speaker 2: resident gold Hards gold cards. I should say, I like
18:39
Speaker 2: this under this ten dollars a year free parking on
18:42
Speaker 2: meeted parks nine to three Monday to Friday. Good on you,
18:45
Speaker 2: Palm North, Ryan Bridge, jamiens Aneta and Jamie good morning,
18:50
Speaker 2: Good morning Ryan. Now you want the gold mine going
18:53
Speaker 2: cranking because you want the young people coming back to
18:56
Speaker 2: high paying jobs. Well, that is right.
18:58
Speaker 9: Australian Mining NIS Santana has acquired the Bendigo of Fair
19:02
Speaker 9: site and is seeking fast track consents for exploration. It
19:06
Speaker 9: says the proposed gold mine could create more than eight
19:08
Speaker 9: hundred and sixty jobs over fourteen years, and it believes
19:12
Speaker 9: locals can fill them. Local councilors Duughe Duncan says Central
19:15
Speaker 9: Otago has plenty of work, but many young people have
19:19
Speaker 9: gone overseas for better pay. He says the mind may
19:22
Speaker 9: slow that down, but he adds it would be great
19:24
Speaker 9: if you still go overseas but can settle in the
19:27
Speaker 9: region after getting that experience. Duncan says there's a wave
19:30
Speaker 9: of new business growth in the region with other mines,
19:33
Speaker 9: solar farms and agriculture on the rise.
19:36
Speaker 2: All right, how's the weather?
19:38
Speaker 9: Cloudy periods with a few showers, easing late morning, then
19:41
Speaker 9: clearing this evening, cold southerlyes in a high of fourteen.
19:44
Speaker 2: Thanks Jamie, Good morning, Claire, good morning. Now the hospital,
19:48
Speaker 2: they're the dialysis unit bit of a crisis point.
19:51
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, our hospital has been at a near crisis
19:54
Speaker 10: point for some time, but this in particular is quite concerning,
19:57
Speaker 10: given the kidney patients who are being told that they
20:00
Speaker 10: have to have their dialysis rationed because of a lack
20:04
Speaker 10: of both staff and physical space in the dialysis unit.
20:07
Speaker 10: The nurses organization members raised some concerns to leadership about
20:11
Speaker 10: this last month, saying that there were threats to patient
20:14
Speaker 10: safety and staff well being. The CEO, Paul Gulter says
20:18
Speaker 10: the urgent the unit rather urgently needs more staff as
20:21
Speaker 10: a first move, but he says it's also not fit
20:23
Speaker 10: for purpose anyway. He says the space is a too narrow,
20:26
Speaker 10: there's issues with mold leaks. There's also a lack of privacy.
20:30
Speaker 10: Health Minister Simeon Brown has ordered some more staff following
20:34
Speaker 10: media reports late last week. Health New Zealand says the
20:37
Speaker 10: advertising for urgent recruitment recruitment begins early this week, but
20:41
Speaker 10: Galter says it should never have taken news coverage for
20:43
Speaker 10: the minister to act, given the issues have been around
20:46
Speaker 10: and flagged for some time.
20:48
Speaker 2: All right, how's your weather? More rain about.
20:50
Speaker 10: CHRISTI today should ease towards the evening, cold southwesterlies and
20:54
Speaker 10: a higher fourteen.
20:55
Speaker 2: All right, Max and Mallings and morning Max, Good morning.
20:58
Speaker 2: So counsel wants some more money out of the crown. Yeah, exactly, say.
21:02
Speaker 3: Much of the property owned by central government, like schools, hospitals,
21:05
Speaker 3: is exempt from paying rates. Local government generally speaking doesn't
21:09
Speaker 3: like it. Wayne Brown says the government's getting a free ride.
21:11
Speaker 3: Auckland Council could be making forty million dollars more. There,
21:15
Speaker 3: Wellington's mayor now echoing that, saying he's going to join
21:19
Speaker 3: this lobby train, trying to encourage changes to the Local
21:24
Speaker 3: Government Act, obviously doing anything he can to stem these
21:27
Speaker 3: absurd rates rises in the capitol labor opened to the
21:31
Speaker 3: idea local government. Minister Simon Wat's much less so, he says,
21:35
Speaker 3: the government already pays for kind of order administrative buildings,
21:39
Speaker 3: emergency like police courts, corrections, fire, et cetera. Little's best
21:44
Speaker 3: bet probably a change of.
21:45
Speaker 2: Government, right yeah, Wi Dovey hoping will happen very soon.
21:49
Speaker 2: How's you with that?
21:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, cloudy with the odd shower northerly is turning southerly seventeen.
21:54
Speaker 2: Good morning, thank you, Max, Good morning Labor, good morning.
21:57
Speaker 2: Great to see you as always a universe. Sorry sorry.
21:59
Speaker 2: Aukland University with record student enrollments.
22:03
Speaker 5: Yes, very positive today. So more people enrolled at Auckland
22:07
Speaker 5: UNI at the start of semester one than ever before.
22:11
Speaker 5: Total enrollments, they've surpassed forty seven thousand. That's roughly the
22:14
Speaker 5: population of Invercargoll, up eight percent. This is from around
22:18
Speaker 5: forty three thousand at the same point last year. Undergraduate
22:22
Speaker 5: numbers have driven much of this growth, rising ten percent
22:25
Speaker 5: or nearly three thousand students competed with last year. And also,
22:28
Speaker 5: you know, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Education Sarah Young Say's immigration,
22:32
Speaker 5: the higher unemployment rate, new transnational agreements all key factors
22:37
Speaker 5: behind this search fantastic.
22:39
Speaker 2: How's our weather fine?
22:40
Speaker 5: Passing afternoon cloud another good one for Auckland. Twenty three is.
22:43
Speaker 2: A high fantastic never thank you. It is nineteen minutes
22:46
Speaker 2: away from six here on news Talk ZEBB. A little
22:50
Speaker 2: update from Bunning's actually yesterday so Bunning, you know, a
22:53
Speaker 2: bunch of supermarkets have already done this, but they're doing
22:56
Speaker 2: the in store facial recognition technology because otherwise people come
23:01
Speaker 2: into their stores and well they don't even need to
23:04
Speaker 2: bring their crowbars and their hammers because they can just
23:06
Speaker 2: get those off the shelves at Bunnings, can't they and
23:09
Speaker 2: start going to town on the poor people working there.
23:12
Speaker 2: So they have announced that they are going to introduce
23:14
Speaker 2: facial recognition technology at Bunning stores to combat retail crime
23:19
Speaker 2: in stores across New Zealand to protect their team members.
23:23
Speaker 2: Now what's interesting about this release from Bunnings is they
23:25
Speaker 2: say that we have consulted with customers, team members and
23:29
Speaker 2: community as well as Mardi sovereignty experts. This engagement will
23:34
Speaker 2: continue as the technology rolls out nationally. Tea Kang and
23:37
Speaker 2: Mardi principles have been considered and built into their approach.
23:41
Speaker 2: I mean, what does that even mean to me? Just
23:44
Speaker 2: from a pr perspective, that sounds to me like sometimes
23:48
Speaker 2: our facial recognition technology actually cocks it up, stuffs up
23:52
Speaker 2: and blames the wrong person. So we're going to cover
23:55
Speaker 2: our ass by talking about a Tea Kuger Principal expert
24:00
Speaker 2: eighteen to six News Talk CB it is quartered to six.
24:04
Speaker 2: Great to heavy company this morning. Not so great for
24:07
Speaker 2: the cricket if you're just joining US India threshing the
24:09
Speaker 2: black Caps in the T twenty World Cup final posting
24:12
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty five for five. So New Zealand
24:15
Speaker 2: this is the latest. Now needs one hundred and twenty
24:17
Speaker 2: four runs in thirty eight balls to win.
24:20
Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and eye insurance, peace of mind
24:24
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business.
24:26
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray, UK correspondent with US this morning, Gavin, good morning,
24:29
Speaker 2: good evening to you. So we got Trump telling the
24:32
Speaker 2: UK actually we don't need you, We're already winning this thing.
24:35
Speaker 11: Yes, And the war of words across the Atlantic continues
24:40
Speaker 11: between our premiere, our Prime Minister, Sekir Starmer and Donald Trump.
24:45
Speaker 11: So it's being reported that one of the UK's two
24:48
Speaker 11: aircraft carriers is placed on advanced readiness. What does that mean, Well,
24:52
Speaker 11: basically that the crew and all the operational matters have
24:55
Speaker 11: got to be ready to go in a matter of
24:58
Speaker 11: a few days. Where are they going, we think into
25:01
Speaker 11: the oceans around the Middle East to strengthen what little
25:05
Speaker 11: UK armory there is on site. How was this met
25:08
Speaker 11: by Donald Trump. Well, he said effectively that it was
25:12
Speaker 11: too little, too late. He said, we don't need countries
25:14
Speaker 11: who join wars after we've already won. The actual quote
25:18
Speaker 11: in full, and how's this for a real put down?
25:20
Speaker 11: The United Kingdom, our once great ally maybe the greatest
25:23
Speaker 11: of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending
25:26
Speaker 11: two aircraft carries to the Middle East. Writing on Social
25:29
Speaker 11: made Trump social, he said, that's okay, Prime Minister Starmer,
25:33
Speaker 11: we don't need them any longer, but we will remember.
25:36
Speaker 11: So a real threat there from Donald Trump. I think
25:38
Speaker 11: about what's been going on, lots of opposition MPs and
25:42
Speaker 11: indeed members of the public saying we should have joined
25:44
Speaker 11: this earlier. Secure Starmer's decision was not to join and
25:48
Speaker 11: not allow America to use the Air Force baces in
25:52
Speaker 11: the UK, and it's one on Diego Garcia for America
25:55
Speaker 11: to land long flights. However, he's changed his mind, saying
25:58
Speaker 11: they can use them if it's defensive action.
26:02
Speaker 2: Now Canada is getting involved in the succession for the
26:05
Speaker 2: former Prince Andrew, saying basically we want them gone from
26:08
Speaker 2: the line of succession altogether.
26:11
Speaker 11: Yes, of course, Christopher Luxon has already gone, along with
26:16
Speaker 11: the call from Australia which I think started this whole thing,
26:20
Speaker 11: Anthony Albinisi saying that mount Batten Windsor, the former Prince Andrew,
26:24
Speaker 11: should be removed from the line of succession. He is
26:27
Speaker 11: eighth in line. It's extremely unlikely he would ever get
26:30
Speaker 11: his chance. But it's not that it's the principle of
26:33
Speaker 11: the thing. And certainly Christopher Luxon's words have been echoed
26:37
Speaker 11: now by Canada the Prime Minister there Mark Carney saying
26:41
Speaker 11: that Andrew mount Batten Winsor must not really be allowed
26:44
Speaker 11: in the line of succession. Of course, Mount Baton Winsor
26:47
Speaker 11: was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month.
26:50
Speaker 11: He's accused of sharing confidential information with the late pedophile
26:54
Speaker 11: financier Jeffrey Epstein. We must stress, though, RN, that Andrew
26:58
Speaker 11: has long denied had any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
27:02
Speaker 11: But this has certainly been a terrible, terrible few months
27:05
Speaker 11: for the monarchy here in the UK, and I think
27:09
Speaker 11: although it's going to require law and everyone's agreement around
27:12
Speaker 11: the Commonwealth, I think this is very very sensible.
27:15
Speaker 2: STAB all right, thanks so much for that, Gavin Gray
27:17
Speaker 2: are UK europe correspondent, just gone twelve minutes away from six.
27:20
Speaker 2: Very quickly, people, Ryan, we've been asking about the stop
27:23
Speaker 2: piles of the US weapons. What are they going to
27:26
Speaker 2: know when do they run out of them? I can
27:28
Speaker 2: tell you they use two thousand munitions in the first
27:31
Speaker 2: one hundred hours. This is the Americans of the war.
27:34
Speaker 2: And a lot of those are bombs, things that are
27:37
Speaker 2: plan to fall, easy to replace. But they also include
27:40
Speaker 2: some high end missiles that aren't. And then everyone's going, well,
27:44
Speaker 2: what about China? Are you taking your eye off the
27:46
Speaker 2: real ball here? And that is China moving a lot
27:48
Speaker 2: of assets from this region to that one. More on
27:52
Speaker 2: that shortly, right, it is eleven away from six. Now
27:55
Speaker 2: let's go to the latest on the war. David Smith,
27:57
Speaker 2: Washington Bureau chief that the Guardian joins me live. Good morning, David,
28:01
Speaker 2: good morning. So we're hearing more and more that Iran
28:04
Speaker 2: is going after Golf, the golf state Saudi Arabia in
28:07
Speaker 2: the last few minutes apparently said that he's been two dead,
28:10
Speaker 2: twelve wounded and they are attacking. This is Iran attacking
28:14
Speaker 2: the diplomatic quarter in Riads. So what's the latest here?
28:18
Speaker 2: What are we what's going on?
28:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question, because Iran seems to have
28:23
Speaker 4: been giving conflicting signals on that. There was a statement
28:27
Speaker 4: from the President yesterday suggesting that they would no longer
28:31
Speaker 4: go after countries in the Golf region, but it did
28:36
Speaker 4: seem to have a little bit of ambiguity that that
28:39
Speaker 4: would only be the case if the implication was those
28:42
Speaker 4: countries were no longer backing the US attack. And of course,
28:45
Speaker 4: you know, the US does have military bases in almost
28:48
Speaker 4: all of those countries, and so it would appear Iran
28:52
Speaker 4: is still attacking on that pretext, and it's a very
28:56
Speaker 4: high risk strategy for them. I mean, I think some
28:59
Speaker 4: of the view of some in Washington is that it's
29:02
Speaker 4: going to backfire. It just alienates the region, It makes
29:06
Speaker 4: those countries even more likely to collaborate with the US.
29:11
Speaker 4: You know, some of those critics would say Iran is
29:14
Speaker 4: just kind of lashing out here almost indiscriminately, and there
29:19
Speaker 4: appears to be kind of no let up in that happening,
29:23
Speaker 4: And it does obviously carry that risk of just a
29:27
Speaker 4: wider conflagration, of this war really spreading in a dangerous
29:31
Speaker 4: way and airlines having to cancel flights and people desperate
29:35
Speaker 4: to get out and pressure on the US to provide
29:38
Speaker 4: the passage for them. It sort of feels like the
29:42
Speaker 4: war is escalating and widening rather than the opposite.
29:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because they're in a perverse kind of way,
29:48
Speaker 2: get it over with quicker. I know, you know, there's
29:51
Speaker 2: obviously going to be casualties, is going to be bad
29:53
Speaker 2: things that come from that. But I think a lot
29:55
Speaker 2: of people, including in America as you'll know, as saying, well,
29:58
Speaker 2: we don't want this pushing price up. Yeah, that's right, because.
30:06
Speaker 4: Clearly oil in a simple word, is one of the
30:10
Speaker 4: key factors here. And we're already seeing the oil price
30:15
Speaker 4: go up because of the strait of her moves in
30:19
Speaker 4: Iran are being affected and these other countries as well,
30:23
Speaker 4: and that will increase global pressure. And already we're seeing
30:28
Speaker 4: here in the US petrol price is affected as a consequence,
30:34
Speaker 4: Maybe not as dramatically as some fear, because the US
30:37
Speaker 4: itself has become a massive oil and gas producer, partly
30:40
Speaker 4: through fracking, to provide some insulation precisely for this kind
30:46
Speaker 4: of global turbulence, but even so, it is a potential negative,
30:52
Speaker 4: especially for Donald Trump and Republicans politically going forward to
30:56
Speaker 4: the mid term elections in November, and so yes, I
31:01
Speaker 4: think there is something in that theory that, you know,
31:04
Speaker 4: the wider this war goes, the quicker it might be
31:06
Speaker 4: over because because of those pressures and because you know,
31:10
Speaker 4: golf countries have a motivation to join the battle against
31:14
Speaker 4: their own.
31:15
Speaker 2: David, appreciate your analysis this morning. David Smith, Washington Bureau
31:18
Speaker 2: chief for The Guardian, Your Own News talksb.
31:21
Speaker 1: The First Word on the News of the Day early
31:24
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and One Route Love where You
31:28
Speaker 1: Live News.
31:29
Speaker 2: Talksb Bister six. On News TALKSB, I mentioned that Iran
31:32
Speaker 2: had hit this desalination plant, and it's interesting because so
31:35
Speaker 2: much of the water that you drink in well, the
31:37
Speaker 2: Gulf States, in this area in the Middle East, you'd
31:41
Speaker 2: come from desalination plants. In fact, in bar Rain where
31:44
Speaker 2: this one in particular has been hit, drinking water for
31:48
Speaker 2: the population almost one hundred percent dependent on desalination plants,
31:53
Speaker 2: and it's about ninety percent for Q eight for their
31:56
Speaker 2: water needs met by desalination. So once you start hitting
31:59
Speaker 2: these plants on people run out of water, and that
32:02
Speaker 2: gets people angry and the whole thing becomes a lot
32:04
Speaker 2: more complicated, isn't it? Ryan Bridge, Good morning, Mike, Good
32:07
Speaker 2: morning Ryan. How are you for a Monday morning.
32:10
Speaker 12: I'm absolutely fantastic, apart from the cricket we've been keeping.
32:15
Speaker 12: And I wasn't overly interested in the cricket, to be honest.
32:17
Speaker 12: I watched the F one. I thought the IF one
32:18
Speaker 12: was fantastic. You see the one?
32:20
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't watch it, but I've been talking to
32:22
Speaker 2: Andrew about it this morning and he's been telling me
32:24
Speaker 2: that the things that are going a bit of rye
32:26
Speaker 2: because they're too fast because of the batteries.
32:28
Speaker 12: Mist reporting it was. It went fine generally speaking. There's
32:32
Speaker 12: a couple of teething problems. Piastre was a teething problem.
32:35
Speaker 12: For stapping and qualifying, there was a teething problem. But
32:37
Speaker 12: the race was good, and say it is as fast
32:39
Speaker 12: as there's four fast teams. You didn't get there to
32:42
Speaker 12: do to was there was a bit of a battery surge.
32:45
Speaker 12: Those sort of things I'll sort out in Aston Martin.
32:47
Speaker 12: It's got all sorts of troubles exactly. But I mean
32:50
Speaker 12: the whole new reing is like when you buy a
32:52
Speaker 12: UK you know you don't know where the windscreen wipers
32:54
Speaker 12: are you don't know how to pop your petrol cap?
32:57
Speaker 12: You know, you spend a bit of time exactly right,
33:00
Speaker 12: Prime Minister, What a beat it wasn't Friday one of
33:02
Speaker 12: the great beat ups of all time?
33:04
Speaker 2: Was it?
33:05
Speaker 12: It started out he was quote unquote considering his position. Right,
33:10
Speaker 12: turns out not to be true.
33:11
Speaker 2: Who said that that.
33:12
Speaker 12: Was through every story throughout Friday? He was quote unquote
33:16
Speaker 12: considering you go back to look at the Herald, look
33:18
Speaker 12: at stuff, considering.
33:21
Speaker 2: It was on air as it was happening. We went
33:23
Speaker 2: certainly went saying that where I was.
33:25
Speaker 12: We'll have a look at those sites. Considering his position
33:28
Speaker 12: was the phrase used? And then under increasing pressure? Who
33:31
