Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good morning, I never Rettimanu and this is your morning
Newswix for Wednesday, tenth of September. In this update, officers
who witnessed Tom Phillips death are being supported by their union.
The Muddlekopper fugitive was shot and killed by police in
the early hours of Monday after he was stopped on
a rural Whitecuttle road with one of his children. He

(00:28):
shot at an officer during the standoff, who's recovering in hospital.
Phillip's two other children were found later that day at
a remote campsite and are now all in the care
of udung A. Tamadi Ki Police Association President Chris Carhill
says all officers involved have witnessed something traumatic. He says
support will be wrapped around the officer who shot Phillips
as it will be a life changing event. One minister

(00:51):
could be in charge of fighting the problem of organized crime.
A report from the Ministerial Advisory Group on Transnational Serious
and Organized Crime has recommended the government given individual minister
the sole responsibility. The panel of experts calls organized crime
the largest national security risk. Customs Minister Casey Costello told

(01:12):
Ryan Bridge it wouldn't be a new minister, but rather
a minister responsible for cohesion. The challenge that we've got
is that we have all of these agencies doing small
amounts of things. It's about ensuring that we understand why
this is a priority belief. More fifteen year olds are
going into vocational study due to an overloaded secondary sector.

(01:34):
New data shows ninety percent of the thirteen hundred students
granted an early leaving exemption last year chose more study
over full time employment. Secondary Teachers' Union president Chris Abercrombie
says there are better outcomes for those who stay in schools,
but it's good to see options for all students. He's
expecting the number of exemptions to continue increasing. Abercrombie says

(01:57):
it's a symptom of a stretched secondary sector which can't
meet the needs of all students. Another escalation in the
Middle East Israels carried out strikes on her mass members
and cutters capital Doha, saying it was precisely targeting those
directly responsible for the October seven attacks. Hamas says members
have been killed, but claims they weren't key leaders. Optimism

(02:20):
from our red meat sector, but an acknowledgment that challenges
remain earnings for New Zealand's core red meat exports are
expected to rise by one point four billion dollars to
ten point five billion dollars for the twenty twenty four
to twenty five season. Beef and Lamb New Zealand board
chair Kate Ackland says us Tariff's risk taking about half

(02:41):
a billion dollars out of the sector, and she sees
the spread of forestry has also had an impact. If
we hadn't had the stock losses through a forestation in
the last five years will be equivalent to an extra
two billions in red meat exports over five years. In sport,
the All Whites have lost three one to the Sokkarous
in their second football international at Auckland. Chris Woods scored

(03:03):
New Zealand's goal before leaving for England midway through the
second half. Calls when New Zealand to host a state
of origin match could soon be answered. The Daily Telegraph
reports the Australian Rugby League Commission is in the advanced
stages of talks for a twenty twenty seven game two
fixture at Auckland's Eden Park. Ludusun's the first women's tennis
