Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good morning, I never Retti Manu and this is your
morning news fix for Friday, twelfth of September. In this update,
the police officer who was shot by Muddle Copper fugitive
Tom Phillips reportedly had his life saved by his car windscreen.
Phillips was shot dead by police on Monday and shot
the officer in the head during the standoff, who remains
(00:25):
in hospital. Sources told our newsroom the windscreen of his
police car likely deflected the gunfire. Meanwhile, in injunctions are pressing.
Key information on Phillips was extended in the High Court
yesterday until at least Thursday. Phillips children remain in state
care and investigations are continuing, with examinations of his campsites
(00:45):
expected to finish up today. Donald Trump has announced conservative
activist Charlie Kirk will receive the Medal of Freedom posthumously.
The conservative activist and key Trump ally was fatally shot
at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University yesterday. Teachers
have revealed they weren't consulted at all on new secondary
(01:07):
school subjects. The governments released a new list of subjects
as part of an overhaul of the national curriculum starting
from twenty twenty eight. It focuses more on the STEM
subjects and adds Civics, politics and philosophy, and media and journalism.
Albany Senior High School Principal Clear Amos says this feels
like change just for the sake of it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We hear time and time again from educators that the
last thing we want is education to be a political volleyball.
To me, there's a little bit about this that feels
like a political volleyboard.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Tair Party Mardi has stripped one of its MPs of
her role as party whip, but it's not clear why.
Until this week, Maria men Or Kapakinghi was the party's whip,
responsible for managing members leave and votes in the House.
Party whips have paid twenty thousand dollars more each year
than a regular MP, but co leader Debingadi Wapacker now
(02:00):
has the role and Kappa KINGI won't say why. She
says she enjoyed the work, but things are changing. A
slew of seats is opening up on overseas flights in
time for summer, as the country's international air capacity reaches
pre COVID numbers. International services planned between October and March
will exceed flights operated over the same period in twenty
(02:20):
nineteen by more than three percent. This is a more
than eight percent increase compared to services over the same
time last year. Confidence a new plan to rebuild the
Christ Church Cathedral is realistic. Work will start next year
to complete the nave, restore the rose window and rebuild
the entranceway in tower by twenty thirty. It halps the
(02:41):
funding shortfall to about forty million dollars, with the Anglican
Church pledging another twenty million. Dean Ben Truman says a
staged rebuild approach was used in the past. In eighteen
eighty one, this is how the cathedral was built, with
the tower and the nave the main body of the
church completed, and it took her forty years to build
the first time run in Sport. Dame Noline Toda apparently
(03:04):
remains unclear about concerns several Silver Ferns had regarding her
leadership ahead of her stand down. For the South Africa series,
which starts Sunday week, Kai Paul olsen Baker returns from
an ankle injury to the number eight jersey for the
Black Ferns Rugby World Cup quarter final against South Africa
on Sunday in Exeter, a landmark moment for cricketing officialdom.
(03:26):
An all female panel will oversee the women's fifty over
World Cup in India and Tri Lanka starting September thirty.
