Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm railing Ramsey. This is your afternoon news
fix for Friday, the fourth of April. The Defense Minister
is pushing for an uplift of the military following a
scathing report into the Manawanui's sinking. A Court of inquiry
concludes the human errors of two people directly cause the
ship to run aground off the coast of Sarmor. It
(00:25):
has also made several recommendations relating to a dozen other
factors contributing to the incident. Due to Colin says, it's
another sign there needs to be a boost to the
defense budget. We don't dwell. We sort things out and
then we're moving on. So we need a big uplift
in our defense force funding and I can tell you
(00:45):
that help is on its way. Agleader David Seymour says
he will never give up on the idea behind his
Treaty Principals Bill. Parliament's Justice Committee has reported back to
the House after receiving more than three hundred thousand and
written submissions, ninety percent of which opposed the bill. Seymour,
the bill's architect, says he doesn't believe these numbers reflect
(01:08):
the true public mood. He says it's been a difficult debate,
but not a waste of time.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I wouldn't say I'm happy to be having it. There's
lots of other things we could be talking about that
we need to have it, and I'm very proud that
actors had the bravery, the articulateness and the patriotism to
actually bring a difficult issue to the fourth.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Train services on Auckland's any hung A line remain suspended
after a person died following a collision between a train
and vehicle. Auckland Transports as a car traveled through a
level crossing at Morris Road around two pm and was
hit by a train. It says the barriers were down
at the time it appeared to be functioning properly. The
train driver is being supported. Police now believe a man
(01:49):
found dead in Wellington's Northland was killed, but won't say
how or when. Sixty five year old Simon Byrd was
found dead on his property on Tuesday, but he hadn't
been seen alive since March twenty seven. Detective Inspector Nick
Pritchard says they want people who knew him to come forward.
At the stage were still piecing together as much information
(02:10):
as we can and relation to his movements. We'd really
want to hear from anybody who interacted with him over
the last few weeks. Blen A man Paul Larman, has
pleaded guilty to his mother's murder. Police launched a homicide
investigation after Jennifer Sheehan was found dead at a Muller
Road address last November. Armand's lawyer will seek psychiatric reports
(02:31):
before sentencing on June five. Governments around the world are
still considering their response to Donald Trump's new tariffs. The
US president has rolled out tariffs of at least ten
percent on almost all imported goods. Our government is ruling
out retaliatory action, but Trade Minister Todd McLay says over
the coming days and weeks, different countries will be responding
(02:54):
in different ways. I think we are going to see
escalation and retaliation of the European Union is going to
put things in place. China, well, that's not good for
world trade. That's not good for New Zealand to sport
in Black Caps top order batsman Mark Chapman has been
ruled out of tomorrow's final ODI against Pakistan at bay
Oval with a hamstring injury. He also missed Game two.
(03:15):
Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano Hope's lone import Chico Giraldees
will be seen in the A League club's colors again.
The Portuguese midfielder season is over with a meniscus injury.
Spain have put up their hand to host the twenty
thirty five Men's Rugby World Cup. It comes after reported
(03:36):
interest from the Middle East. And that is your latest
news fix. We'll be back with the next update tomorrow
morning from the news Talk seed Be Newsroom.
