Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good morning, I'm never ready, MANU, and this is your
morning newsweeks for Monday, third of November. In this update,
the government says planning is underway to staff one hundred
and forty new hospital beds across five hospitals. Health Minister
Simeon Brown has announced new wards at Middlemore, wy Cut Or,
Wellington and Nelson Hospitals in addition to an already announced
(00:26):
new ward at Hawkes Bay Hospital. The wards will be
constructed off site and then installed at the hospitals. Brown
says each ward will be slightly different and Middlemore will
be helping to improve the flow through the hospital and
why Cut will be more around the diagnostics but attached
to the emergency department. More schools are introducing enrollment zones
(00:47):
to manage growing student numbers. New Ministry of Education data
shows more than thirteen hundred schools now have zoning schemes,
more than twice as many as two decades ago. In Auckland,
schools without zones have dropped by about a third and
five years. Ministry Operations Leader Sean Teddy says zones prevent
(01:08):
overcrowding and guarantee local students of place. He says families
still have options if they want to attend a different school,
including applying out of zone or considering private, charter or
home based education. Concerns about further measles transmission as more
cases are linked to schools. There are now seventeen active cases,
(01:30):
one in Northland, five in Auckland, one in Tartanaki two
and Munahwa two, six in Wellington and one in Nelson.
Some of the cases are linked to Wellington Girls College
and Auckland Grammar School Auckland University. Public health expert Michael
Baker says it's a recipe for more spread. If you're
not immunia, you've spent it day in a classroom with
(01:51):
someone else who was actively in fictious you're almost certainly
going to get infected yourself. Questions remain over the motivation
behind a mass stabbing attack of on board a train
in the UK. Two British men have been held on
suspicion of attempted murder following the Saturday night attack, which
forced the London bound train to make an emergency stop
in Huntingdon. Nine people suffered life threatening injuries and two
(02:14):
remain in a critical condition. Police don't believe it was
a terrorist attack concerns. A law cracking down on online
harm is still only reaching the tip of the iceberg.
A decade on from its inception, the number of people
with finalized charges under the Harmful Digital Communications Act has
jumped from eighteen in the first year to one hundred
(02:36):
and fourteen in the past year. The number convicted of
the most serious offense has risen from twelve to seventy five.
Auckland University criminologists clear Mean says the rise is expected
as enforcement becomes less cautious and awareness grows. But I
think it's really important to note most of the offenses
they aren't reported, they're not recorded, and they're not prosecuted.
(02:57):
And in sport, Kwei's coach Stacy Jones, who did the
Pacific Championships as an advertisement for International Rugby League. After
a side beat Tonga forty fourteen at Eden Park, Wellington
have drawn one all away against the Central Coast in
a league football golfer Dame Lydia Coos finished in a
share of ninth at the latest LPGA event in Malaysia.
(03:19):
An anonymous tab punter could net over seven hundred and
thirty two thousand dollars from tomorrow's Melbourne Cup via a
twelve legue multi bet in January if Bukaroo finishes in
the top three. I'm never ready man, who vent your
latest news fakes? We'll be back with the next update
at midday from the newstalk ZB news group.
