Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Andrew Dickens on
early edition with one roof make your Property search simple
used talks it'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, good morning to you. You made it. It's a
wet Friday right across New Zealand. What's happening in the
next hour. Well, weather warnings all up and down the
West Coast and over most of the North Island will
keep you walkeep an eye on the weather for you
if anything pops up. With all the headlines about the
health system being in chaos, the government releases a report
that says three out of the five targets they set
have been achieved. Do we believe those figures? And as
(00:36):
the system as broken as it's perceived to be. That
story in five the Battle of Yuki and Liam, where
we preview the Japanese Grand Prix and the acid test
of our driver and his old car, and what's the
beef about the tariffs? We talk with the New Zealand
meat industry on the impact of Donald Trump's moves. Yesterday
we'll have this, We'll have correspondence from right around the world.
Vincent mcavenni coming to us from Europe and correspondents from
(01:00):
New Zealand and you can have your say by using
the text machine and the numbers to use is ninety
two ninety two. It's small charge applies. It's seven after five.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's Friday, the fourth of vegdel first of the United States,
where the world has been reacting to the slew of
new tariffs from Donald Trump. There will be a ten
percent based on tariff in all countries, while roughly sixty
countries who have been deemed the worst of vendors for
unfair trade practices have each received a higher individual tariff rate.
The EU gets twenty percent, China fifty four, Japan twenty four,
(01:33):
and foreign made cars we'll get twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
For decades, our country has been looted, pillage, raped, and
plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.
American steel workers, auto workers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen, they
really suffered gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders
have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So the trade war is on, and the UK has
drawn up a four hundred page list of US products
it could hit with tariffs. And meanwhile EU Chief Ishula
von Delayan has called Trump's tariffs a major blow to
the world economy, and China has promised countermeasures.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The global economy will massively suffer, uncertainty will spiral and
trigger the rise of further protectionism.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
The consequences will.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Be dire for millions of people around the globe.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Now to the UK and the Charity Commission there has
announced an investigation into the bitter dispute surrounding the Center Ballet,
charity that Prince Harry co founded. The Duke of Sussex
says he hopes it will unveil the truth. The Watchdog
says it opened a case to examine concerns rays about
Center Bali following claims made by its head, Miss Shandalka.
(02:53):
Sophie Shandalka previously said she had reported the trustees to
the Charity Commission and made a whistle blower complaint about issues,
including what she described as an abusive power, bullying, sexism
and racism.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of
news to the outside world and can you imagine what
that attack has done?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
That is an.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Example of harassment and pudding at scale.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well on that with Vincent mcavenny later on. And finally,
the newbie Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for Red Bull
this weekend in the Formula one Grand Prix in Japan,
replacing Liam Lawson who was demoted to the Racing Bulls
team last week. And Yuki seems very confident.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
I don't think I have to change my driving style
because Indian so far it works well. I guess, you know,
with vcar otherwise probably I wouldn't be here where this logo.
So I just do whatever I was doing previously.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Good Eric Thompson on the big race and the test
of the car and Liam in about ten minutes time.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Five the first Word on the News of the Day
early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your
Property Search and Sivil you talk Sippy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So so she's a bit west and it's been a
bit wet on the West Coast. But look, here's the thing,
here's the story out of the coast. And I love
it when I see public officials thinking ahead. So here's
the thing. The West Coast Regional Council is continuing with
its campaign to have Bailey Bridges kept locally permanently. So
at the moment the NZATA stores the temporary bridge units
(04:32):
at Burnham that's near Christchurch, and then sends them around
the country as needed in emergencies like the floods that
devastated Hawks Bay and Cyclone Gabrielle. But the West Coast
Regional Transport Committee once some bridges stored west of the Alps,
then they could deploy them more swiftly when disaster strikes. Now, look,
it's pouring on the coast as we speak. The area,
(04:52):
due to its geography, attracts an awful lot of rain
that floods a lot. And between the coast and Burnham
in Canterbury is the southern Elms, which also become somewhat
impassable when the weather turns really feral. So when floods strike,
which they will invariably do, the council says, let's have
some bridges here so we can get the region moving quickly.
That is called productivity. But NZTA the bureaucrats don't want to.
(05:17):
They fear if the bridges are stored on the coast
they may rust over. That seems a little overly paranoid.
Now the coast has had some winds recently for self sufficiently,
they've got some bulk fuel storage there now, so if
it all closes down, they can keep the cars running.
They've wanted a hydro electric plant in store, but that's
always been denied because of you know, snails or something
(05:40):
like that. But here's the thing. If we're going to
inhabit one of the most remote regions in the world,
with dramatic weather and the threat of earthquakes, then surely
we should make them more self sufficient. So I say,
give the coast their bridges and give the coast their
hydro Yep, it's twelve after five. Another little story about bureaucrats.
Kaying Aura is set to remove six hundred jobs and
(06:03):
this is part of the pub's public service rationalization. To
be fair, of those six hundred jobs, one hundred and
ninety five positions are currently not filled, so it's really
about four hundred jobs that go now. It is true
that since twenty nineteen, when kang or Aura was established,
that job numbers have ballooned, but it's also true that
the scale of construction has increased markedly. Labour couldn't build
(06:26):
ki we build houses, but it could build social housing.
And to be doubly fair, they did that on the
back of the National government that preceded it who started
an age of social housing suburb regeneration. So this move
is a big tyhoe on the progress we made over
the last ten years, and that's probably to be expected
after such growth. But you know, we still have a
(06:46):
lot of demand for social housing now. The outcome we're
hoping for from these public service cuts is a rebalanced
public economy, and when that happens, we might be able
to create a balanced social housing sector. Feel for the
KO workers who join a legion of construction sector layoffs.
But here's the thing. We must get away from the
(07:08):
boom and bust economic cycles we've fallen into over the
years five fourteen. So apparently, according to the government, we're
doing quite well in health. There are five goals and
they reckon we've had three of them. Is this true
or is this not? We're going to talk to Malcolm
mulholland next, the Chairperson of Patient Voices are Terrah. It's
(07:28):
News Talks here B It's five fourteen.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Andrew Dickens and One Roof to Make Your Property Search Simple,
Youth Talks.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It B sixteen After five I'm Fillagan for Ryan Bridge,
who will be back in a fortnight and a bit,
which also means that Heather will be back at a
fortnight in a bit. So the government's health targets seem
to be on track. This is according to data released
by Health New Zealand. Three out of the five goals
are making good progress, with youth immunization rates and access
to cancer care improving. So I'm joined now by the
(08:04):
patient of the chair of Patient voices Alter and Malcolm
mal Holland. Wanting to you, Malcolm, thank you for getting
up early.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (08:12):
Yeah, good, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You doubt this data.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Very much. I've spoken to clinicians, oncologists, people who work
in ed and none of them can believe, you know,
the story that the data is saying.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, yes, we've heard lots of complaints about underfunding in
the health sector. We've heard about Nelson this week, we've
heard about Wanica, and yet the government says the statistics
are improving. How can they improve in spite of these accusations.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
Yeah, Well, look, one of the metrics that is used
is about faster cancer treatment. So in that case, looking
at the time from the first appointment to the first treatment,
that's the wrong metric to be measuring. They need to
be looking at from the time of diagnosis to the
first appointment. We know that there are patients who are
waiting eight weeks or longer at Wikatil, christ Each Wellington
(09:03):
in Southland, and in some of those cases the outcome
has been lethal. The patients have waited too long to
keep their first appointment. As a result, the tenser have
spread and there's very little the oncologists can do at
that point.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So you say the government as making a statement for
political reasons, and others might argue that you're making your
statements for political reasons because the government is investing thirty
billion dollars a year into the health system. That's an
awful lot of money.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
Oh absolutely it is, and I would love to know
you know how that thirty billion is spent. But my
motivations aren't political. They come from what is happening on
the ground. Another metric that is provided is around edy
wake times. We note that the Eddie wake times don't
include walkout. We heard about Nelson where there was a
(09:54):
case where live a damage was caused by a walkout.
I'm aware of a case here at mid Central where
a patient went to ED saw that it was overwhelmed,
walked out died the following day at hospice. And we
also know that there were practices in the wider upper
in Auckland where eds were cooking the books. They were
(10:15):
registering patients being admitted virtually, but they weren't actually being seen,
and they were doing that as they neared the six
hour time frame.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But that's what the government's fault necessarily, that's actually the
people on the ground at Health New Zealand, particularly that
ED you mentioned, who you claim was cooking the box.
Speaker 10 (10:35):
Yeah, look, I think it does need to be a
level of honesty. But as I said to you, I've
engaged with nurses who have been working in these ED
departments and they claim that the practice is very much
alive and kicking, and that that comes from a certain
level of management who want to impress the government, who
want to look good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
All right, Malcolm and Holland, keep fixing out people, and
I thank you. Chairperson of Patient Voices, Alta Rara's nineteen
minutes after five texts through apparently no rain in part
South Taranaki yet, just lots of wind. Can I tell
you where I am coming into work? I aquaplane to work.
There were emergency crews all over the place. We had
a power cut at about two o'clock in the morning,
which actually caused our alarm to go to start whistling.
(11:17):
For some reason. The whole light came on. The washing
machine decided to come on, and Helen got up and
walk around the place and said, our house is haunted.
And I said, no, I think that's just been an
earth I think that's just been an electric power cut.
Love and it's just come back on again. So yeah,
bit of stormy weather. But about time it is twenty
after five. Talking of storms. You know about the battle
or sorry, should I say the Ballads of Yoko and
(11:38):
No Yoko? And what is it? The Ballad of John
and Yoko? That's the Beatles song. Well, I'm changed this
to the Battle of Yuki and Liam. The Japanese Grand
Prix is happening this weekend and the real attention is
at the back of the field, So we'll talk about
this in a few moments time with Eric Thompson.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Pretty Views and Views You Trust has done your day.
It's early edition with Andrew Dickens and One Roof Make
your Property Search Simple, New Talk.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
They'd be excuse me, just too keen to get into it.
It's twenty two after five. Formula One hits Japan this weekend.
Liam Lawson to race for the first time since dropping
to the Racing Bulls. Lawson's replacement, who we've already heard
from this hour, Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for the
main team on Sunday. Eric Thompson is a motoring journalist
and has got up early for us. Good morning to you, Eric,
Good morning Andrew.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I am good. Do we expect any bitterness or awkwardness
or maybe some elbow out racing between Liam and Yuki?
Speaker 11 (12:37):
Maybe some elbow out racing. Lawson has already shown that
he's not scared of anybody on the track, you know,
he's upset Fernando Alonso and a few other people. So yeah,
I think I don't think elbows out will be an issue.
Is certainly not going to hopefully he's not going to
try and change his driving style. But those two have
been friends since junior junior days, so I think there
(12:58):
will be a little bit of a strain on there.
You know, it's like your best you know, you get
the big gig and then all of a sudden, you
know you're still mates because you've got the big gigs,
and then all of a sudden you all sort of
move sideways for your your best mate to get the
big gig. So and you know, egos are a play
in that sport and supports.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And this is what makes it so watchable. So look,
this is a test for Liam, but it's also a
test for the rebel car. Lawson claimed it was a dog.
Yuki said this week it's okay Liam. Fans will want
to see Yuki at the back of the track to
prove that Liam wasn't as bad a driver as some account.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
I get what a great summation Andrew, yes, exactly. But
the thing is Liam Lawson, after his days on the
simulator it's did a very similar similar thing to Sonoda.
Before the start of the seat he said, oh the
car is not that bad. I quite enjoy driving it.
But although simulators are close, they're not the real thing.
It's like having virtuality goggles on and you're playing your
(13:58):
immersed inside a game. You you think it's real, but
it's not real. And I think in about fifteen minutes
pre practice starts, so in about half an hour we'll
see how good a Sonoda is in that car.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All right, I have one last question for you. I
have one last question for you, because this has been
worrying me. Do you think UB's RB twenty one, the
Red Bull car has been fixed in the fortnight since
the last race, changing conditions?
Speaker 11 (14:25):
No, because that car's fundamental problem is in the chassis.
It's very nervy at the rear and very pointy at
the front, which means everything's on the front. And there's
very few drivers in the world that can drive a
car like that makes the steff and just happens to
be one of them. So there's no way they can
completely change the geometry of their car in a couple
of weeks. They can't try the arrow and other things.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But yea yeah, well, well that's exactly what Liam did
in the last two races, and that didn't work either.
I am really looking forward to that race, Eric Thompson,
I thank you for your time. News Talks there B.
It is five twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How These
Talks of Me.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Newest Talks B five twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickens. The
age of globalization is dead. Trump has withdrawn America. Now
we're in an age of blocks, nations that agree to
trade with each other, nations that have commonality. So who
(15:22):
are our friends and who are our friends that we
get on with, and who are our friends we can
trade with? China is our biggest trade friend, but is
China our friend friend?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
No?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
That not.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So we're now into a period of delicate negotiations and
that's going to cause less than perfect trade deals. Now
what do we do about America? Some have said the
situation that we are experiencing is not too bad ten
percent as we speak, But our trade with America is
nine billion a years. Are ten percent is near enough?
A billion dollars which is not inconsiderable? So what should
(15:57):
we do? The Trade Minister and the Prime Minister say
it would be four to retaliate. We're not in the
same weight class. That's true. I just had this random
thought that maybe we should go to the Trump playbook.
We all know that Trump likes to go big and
then pull back to his bottom line. So should we
go back and say, okay, let's call it five and
then wait to see where the cards lie? Who knows?
(16:19):
What I do know, though, is that the world is
in chaos Russia, China, Israel, Ukraine, tariffs and inflation is lurking,
an uncertainty has not gone away, and people are wandering
around using the D word every now and then, depression.
So it is a time for circumspection and recognizing that
(16:41):
the elephants are dancing and we are but mice Andrews.
And we'll talk to the meat industry just before sex
and ask them about their concerns and whether they're happy
enough with the situation as it exists. So that's still
to come. And I've got some Bruce Springsteen news for you.
And also you may have heard yesterday that a scooter
thieving ring had been busted and I had a number
(17:01):
of texts and people asking, well, was your wife's scooter
one of the wife's one of the scooters recovered. I'll
tell you that story in about five minutes time, right
here on News TALKB. This is early edition. I'm Andrew Dickens.
I can't get to talk.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I can't get to you from.
Speaker 12 (17:29):
Talking.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Try talking. I can't go to all this lame night talking.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Andrew Dickens on early Edition with one roof, Make your
Property search simple, used dog Zibbycome.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Dude, thank you for choosing our programs for Friday. I'm
Andrew Dickinson for Iron Bridge. You can text me on
ninety two ninety two. Ben's just said it. Note cheer up, Andrew.
The tariffs are not that bad. It won't affect us
down here. Well, that may or may not be true, Ben,
I mean we may get through, okay. I'm not really
worried about us. I'm or worried about the rest of
the world to be fair, and then what will happen
(18:17):
to us because of that? I mean, they're certainly having
a fight. More on this with Vincent Macaveni in a
few moments time. Bruce Springsteen's releasing a new album. Actually
it's not an album, it's a box set. It's called
Tracks two. The Lost Albums comes out June twenty seventh.
It includes recordings made between eighty three and twenty eighteen,
eighty three songs that have never been released before. Apparently,
(18:40):
it's seven complete albums, each of which was recorded and abandoned,
which shows you just how good Bruce Springsteen is just
to have seven. He went, no, I won't release those,
but I'm sure that will brilliant Now, yesterday we heard
that an e scooter thieving ring had been busted, and
a number of people have texted an emailed me asking
was heaven's my partners which got stolen last week downtown?
(19:04):
No it's not, but here is what's happened in the
past week. We asked the hotel for CCTV footage it
was stolen outside a hotel. They said, you got to
go and ask the police. Okay, so then we had
to go onto the web to ask the police. This
has moved glacially, but yesterday they finally acknowledged it. And
now we wait. This is a week after the theft. Right,
(19:24):
of course we're looking for a replacement. So we went
to the scooter shop. They said, there are pro gangs
who really know what they're doing these days, roaming all
our cities stealing scooters and e bikes. They can hack
the scooter and they hacked ours. We have an app
with a find my scooter function on it for the scooter.
They disabled that within an hour. The criminals import charges
(19:46):
so they can on sell them. They have battery powered
angle grinders that can make short work of a lock,
so now you can buy angle grinder proof d locks.
They cost six hundred dollars a throw. Helen's scooter is
relatively rare. It's a bright orange dual motor in motion climber.
Please look out for it. It's designed for hilly places
(20:09):
like New Zealand. It can go like the Clappers. It
can go forty five k. Now, we have been looking
out for it on trade me, but the scooter shop says, well,
they won't do it on trade me. They actually have
a sophisticated on selling program. Now, crimes only work if
someone complicit doesn't ask questions about where the stolen stuff
comes from. It's called receiving and you're still a criminal
(20:32):
if you do that. And this whole story is making
me feel like the crims are one step ahead of us.
And the other thing about all of this is insurance.
Because you get no satisfaction from the police, you don't
find your scooter again, it's gone. It's gone. So what
(20:53):
do you do? You go to the insurance. So the
insurance people are now paying out a fortune on stolen
e bikes and Nolan stolen Scio because, as I say,
the crims are one step ahead. Were good to go.
It is twenty one to six. Let's go right around
the country. And Callum Procter joins us right now from Dunedin.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
How the Callum you good warning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So we've got the first test results back from the
wastewater which has been discharged into the Shotover River in Queenstown.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Here we do, and it's good news. The Queenstown Lake
District Council started releasing this wastewater into the river daily
on Monday, twelve thousand cubic meters each day. The results
are so far well within consented limits set by the
Otaga Regional Council. The council says these samples were taken
immediately downstream and what they do is reflect the well
(21:44):
operating treatment plant. They say the water will be monitored
more upstream in the future, which will ensure that they
get a full understanding of any effects of this discharge.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well that's the most important thing. Yeah, we don't want
the river polluted. Now, how's your weather.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It's fine in twenty five today, but we've got possible
heavy sundery shells this afternoon with a fresh sour all.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Right, Claire, sure it joins us now from Crushers. Hella Claire,
good morning. So we've had the inquest and the results
into the fatal boat capsize off Kaikoura back in twenty
twenty two. This whole story is absolutely horrific. The details
are horrific. Air pockets with petrol fumes from a leak.
It just it's a horrible story, exactly.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I remember it while it was terrible at the time
and still terrible now, Andrew.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Look.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Five of the eleven who were on board the boat
in twenty twenty two died when it flipped in Goose Bay,
just off the coast of kai Kota. At the time,
I remember there being a lot of suggestion that this
boat may have struck a whale causing it to flip,
but that's something that had to be confirmed by investigators.
Now the investigation has revealed that it virtually certain to
(22:46):
have happened. It must have hit a whale and then flipped.
The interesting part, as you say, is the Transport accident
investigation commissions found the deaths, though were due to leaking
fuel fumes as well as cold water and the confined
space base the pocket underneath the boat once it had flipped.
It's made seven recommendations to emergency services and had bid
to resolve what's been found to be six major safety issues.
(23:09):
The local MP Nationals Stuart Smith says the survivors and
families who lost loved ones on that day still have
to live with the outcome, but he is hopeful that
future incidents can be prevented now. He says, accidents are
called accidents for a reason and it almost seems like
this was an act of God.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Okay, so how's christ Rich's weather today?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
A bit of an odd one here, quite warm. The
high will be twenty six, but we do have some
showers about. It could be heavy at times and northerlyast
turning southwest.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thank you have a great weekend. Max Told joins me
from Wellington High Max, good morning. You've got a crime
spree in Wellington.
Speaker 12 (23:43):
Yeah, it appears so police having to bolster the district.
We're bringing in fifteen more investigators to deal with this.
You've got a British couple who have found dead in
a suspected murder suicide in Roseleath on Monday. The next day,
a man was found that outside a home in the
suburb of Northland. That death still unexplained. We do know
that the victim is Simon Baird, a local described as
(24:05):
a gentleman and a lovely man. Police also now believe
the death of sixty three year old Abdul Nabi Zada
last month in Mirrama is linked to that awful home
invasion nearby and Mirramian which the homeowners scuffled with the intruder.
A man has already been arrested for the home invasion.
The former is a homicide investigation, so further charges are possible.
(24:28):
Police acknowledging there's been an unusual spate of serious investigations
launched in recent weeks. Most importantly, though, they say, no
additional reason to be concerned.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Good stuff and I thank you. And what's Willington's weather?
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Some early rain and stronger winds, high of twenty central
to walk on we go neave A written man, A.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Good morning, We've made it to Friday.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This pervert who've secretly filmed twenty two women and girls,
well what a piece of work.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Despicable.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I agree with you.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Look the sceedencing of this man secretly filmed twenty two
women and girls. Now this was prompted warnings about predator tactics.
Auckland man Micah Fuller. Now he's facing four years in prison.
He pleaded guilty to forty two charges relating to the offending. Now,
many of the twenty two victims, they were recorded as
they showered, undressed and they were using the toilet. So
the government's chief victim's advocate, Ruth's money, she's come out.
(25:20):
She says public messaging is key to addressing the risks,
and she says that look, everyone needs to be aware
of the dangers around them.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I was watching the Telly last night and there was
a very brave woman who came on. She was a victim,
or excuse me, she was a victim. I thought she
was very brave to come on and say stuff.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Oh absolutely, you know what's going on. You're fine now?
Was that your cup of tea?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I'm having a kind of tea while are you talking
about choked? Don't you worry? How's awkards?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Were the rain with heavy falls? And we do need
this rain easing to a few shellers in the afternoon.
We're going to high twenty three. But I can say
that it's going to be fine and sunny for Saturday,
so that'll be.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Got to all right. The tariffs, how are they going
to affect us? And mostly how's it going to affect meat.
I mean, the industry is joining me. Before six it's
news talks. It'll be.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
International correspondence on news talks.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It'd be it's about thirteen minutes to six m. We're
after Europe Vincent Mecha, vinigod morning to you, Good morning.
So the European reaction to Donald Trump's turffs.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Yeah, like all governments around the world, the UK and
Europe is trying to figure out what to do now
in response, and we're taking slightly different paths. The UK
feels it's close to actually securing a trade deal with
the United States, and so we are still staying on
this sort of uncritical, calm steady path in the hope
that we can get that done quickly. Our rate was
(26:43):
only put at ten percent. We're much more of a
services based economy, we've got less of a trade deficit.
So Kirstarmer hoping that he can do something soon. Are
two primary exports for the US Auto's those obviously are
at twenty five percent. Pharmaceuticals. Those have been given a
temporary reprieve. So there is hope here in London something
can be done, but of course there'll be knock on
effects from everywhere else around the world. Europe though much
(27:06):
bigger manufacturer compared to the United Kingdom. They've been pretty
robust saying they're going to move quickly to retaliatory measures
and they're not happy with this, saying it's a major
blow to the world economy.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yes, and people concern that the war may be overly
recissionary for the whole globe.
Speaker 13 (27:25):
Yeah, I think that, you know, keep hearing the adage
that no one actually wins in the trade war, and
ultimately the people that pay are consumers. So I think
there is a lot of bewilderment about what's going on.
It is a total rewiring of the global economy, and
some people can see, you know, Donald Trump is right
about wanting to reshure a lot of jobs and get
people into quality jobs, but they also feel like this
(27:46):
is going to be a massive shock to the system
after a decade, Let's be honest. Where for here in
the UK, we had the shock of Brexit, then we
had the pandemic, and then we've had the war in Ukraine.
People are quite fed up with these kind of shocks
all right.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Now we move to the between Prince Harry and his
charity center Ballet and now we have an investigation.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
Yeah, the Charity Commission here in the UK is announced
the first stage and a potential investigation into the conduct
of the charity. This is after this war of words
has broken out over Center Ballet which Prince Harry set
up around twenty years ago with Prince Seiso of Lusutu,
which was looking at health, particularly HIV and AIDS in
young people in South southern parts of Africa. And so
(28:30):
this resignation last week, fall out between the sort of
trustees Prince Harry and Prince Seyso and the chair of
the charity has been a bit of a war of
words in the media in the last week. But now
we're going to get an efficial investigation as to what's
been going on in this charity. Prince Harry, for his part,
says he welcomes this.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Have then people of the UK taken sides.
Speaker 13 (28:54):
Well, it's a kind of there's a lot going on
this week, but it is another sort of you know,
Harry Meghan drama, which we're sort of well used to.
I think many people though do recognize that throughout it all,
Prince Harry has been very dedicated to his charity work,
particularly this charity which you know, he founded himself. It
was named, you know, to do with his mother and
(29:15):
forgetting memories of a parent, and so he's been dedicated
to it. He spent a lot of time in this
part of the world, across the African continent doing charity work.
So people just sort of not quite sure what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Okay, Vincent, I thank you so much. It is now
ten minutes to six. Dickens Well, Donald Trump promised global
tariffs and he did it. New Zealand exports are finally
in the firing line. We've been hit with a ten
percent tariff on all imports into the States and across
all industries. And the twenty percent that the US published
(29:47):
to calculate the tariff was calculated off trade deficit rather
than tariff, so that's what we're questioning. So look, we
are considered by some to be the lucky ones because
some countries have been hit between twenty to forty nine percent.
I'm joined now by the chief executive of the Meat
Industry Association, So MKAA be the good morning to you, sir.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Oh I'm sorry. Are we the lucky ones?
Speaker 7 (30:13):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Locke, I don't know that anyone is lucky in this context,
it is quite quite a shock, even though it's not
an unforeseen shop was for forecasted for quite some time,
but the fact that it has transpired is you know,
as quite disappointing, and I don't think anyone can count
(30:33):
themselves lucky because the impact of tariffs will have a
significant disruption and global trade.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
What are you more worried about the actual tariffs on
New Zealand products or as you say, the overall effect
on the entire global trade system.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Oh, I think both of them are very much interconnected.
And you know, in our trade we are very globally connected,
with our experts going to over one hundred and ten
markets around the world. So when one market is in distress,
then that has flow on implications for other markets. And
(31:08):
in this case, the US is a key importer and
export of beef. Therefore, the US announcement is likely to
impack global beef markets anyway, with the number of other
countries looking to redirect their products.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Lexercilate the effect on you to the United States of America,
and they are tariffs that they will be putting on.
I mean, how big is our trade with America and
how will that bilateral trade be affected for US well.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
The US currently is our number one beef export market.
It has billions of dollars worth of trade, and it
has increased over the recent times partly because there is
strong demand for a product in the United States and
also because their domestic production cannot necessarily meet their domestics
(32:00):
consumption demand. So it is going to impact on US.
We currently trade under small quota with a very small tariff,
and nuisance tariff is what we call it, just a
couple of sen tequilo. The ten percent is essentially imposing
over nine point three percent extra cost on our exports
(32:22):
and that is going to be significant.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Would you retaliate or not? Is it just not worth it?
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Well, I think every action has an equal and opposite reaction,
I guess so. I'm not sure that retaliation is quite
the right approach. What we do need to do is
just work within the system as best as we can
and you know, argue the fact that we are a
good trader, good trading partner to the United States, our
(32:50):
product is complementary, and work the commercial angles to find
the best way to put our product.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
In very good look. I wish you like going forward.
That is Cardapeaver who comes from the Meat Industry Association,
and that clunking and thumping and bumping is Mike Hosking,
who's here shortly the.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your
Property Search Simple, News Talk zid Be.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You got a whole lot of Texas reminding me and
everybody that Trump is not the first person to impose
tariffs on countries. Other countries already had them before Donald
Trump did them. But you got to realize we in
New Zealand, we were the first to try and get
rid of tariffs because we had to deal with the
EU scenarios. So we're ahead of the game. And Mike
Hosking joins me, Now, yeah.
Speaker 14 (33:32):
We'll talk about that this morning. The market's funnily enough,
we came we were positive by the end of the day.
New Zealand and Australia wasn't too bad. The Nickay got
whacked because of the cars in Japan. But in the
American market, funnily enough, I've been watching that all morning
and when I came in it was down fifteen hundred,
which is like a disaster. It's still a disaster. But
it's only eleven hundweights, so.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I think they're just waking up to the whole thing
and the impact of it. You've got phill Gough on
the show as well.
Speaker 14 (33:55):
Yeah, well he's come back to the country and done
as I would have done it again routine, which is
not really what his job was, was it, I mean
at the end of the day. So he's on and
we'll talk about the IF one this weekend, talk about
the territor, this good stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Thank you to producer can say. My name is Andrew Dickins.
To see you next week. I want to listen to
live Crafts Monday to bring it by it back.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks. It'd be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Andrew Dickens on
early edition with one roof make your Property search simple
used talks it'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, good morning to you. You made it. It's a
wet Friday right across New Zealand. What's happening in the
next hour. Well, weather warnings all up and down the
West Coast and over most of the North Island will
keep you walkeep an eye on the weather for you
if anything pops up. With all the headlines about the
health system being in chaos, the government releases a report
that says three out of the five targets they set
have been achieved. Do we believe those figures? And as
(00:36):
the system as broken as it's perceived to be. That
story in five the Battle of Yuki and Liam, where
we preview the Japanese Grand Prix and the acid test
of our driver and his old car, and what's the
beef about the tariffs? We talk with the New Zealand
meat industry on the impact of Donald Trump's moves. Yesterday
we'll have this, We'll have correspondence from right around the world.
Vincent mcavenni coming to us from Europe and correspondents from
(01:00):
New Zealand and you can have your say by using
the text machine and the numbers to use is ninety
two ninety two. It's small charge applies. It's seven after five.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
It's Friday, the fourth of vegdel first of the United States,
where the world has been reacting to the slew of
new tariffs from Donald Trump. There will be a ten
percent based on tariff in all countries, while roughly sixty
countries who have been deemed the worst of vendors for
unfair trade practices have each received a higher individual tariff rate.
The EU gets twenty percent, China fifty four, Japan twenty four,
(01:33):
and foreign made cars we'll get twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
For decades, our country has been looted, pillage, raped, and
plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.
American steel workers, auto workers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen, they
really suffered gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders
have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So the trade war is on, and the UK has
drawn up a four hundred page list of US products
it could hit with tariffs. And meanwhile EU Chief Ishula
von Delayan has called Trump's tariffs a major blow to
the world economy, and China has promised countermeasures.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The global economy will massively suffer, uncertainty will spiral and
trigger the rise of further protectionism.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
The consequences will.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Be dire for millions of people around the globe.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Now to the UK and the Charity Commission there has
announced an investigation into the bitter dispute surrounding the Center Ballet,
charity that Prince Harry co founded. The Duke of Sussex
says he hopes it will unveil the truth. The Watchdog
says it opened a case to examine concerns rays about
Center Bali following claims made by its head, Miss Shandalka.
(02:53):
Sophie Shandalka previously said she had reported the trustees to
the Charity Commission and made a whistle blower complaint about issues,
including what she described as an abusive power, bullying, sexism
and racism.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Prince Harry authorized the release of a damaging piece of
news to the outside world and can you imagine what
that attack has done?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
That is an.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Example of harassment and pudding at scale.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well on that with Vincent mcavenny later on. And finally,
the newbie Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for Red Bull
this weekend in the Formula one Grand Prix in Japan,
replacing Liam Lawson who was demoted to the Racing Bulls
team last week. And Yuki seems very confident.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
I don't think I have to change my driving style
because Indian so far it works well. I guess, you know,
with vcar otherwise probably I wouldn't be here where this logo.
So I just do whatever I was doing previously.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Good Eric Thompson on the big race and the test
of the car and Liam in about ten minutes time.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
Five the first Word on the News of the Day
early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make your
Property Search and Sivil you talk Sippy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So so she's a bit west and it's been a
bit wet on the West Coast. But look, here's the thing,
here's the story out of the coast. And I love
it when I see public officials thinking ahead. So here's
the thing. The West Coast Regional Council is continuing with
its campaign to have Bailey Bridges kept locally permanently. So
at the moment the NZATA stores the temporary bridge units
(04:32):
at Burnham that's near Christchurch, and then sends them around
the country as needed in emergencies like the floods that
devastated Hawks Bay and Cyclone Gabrielle. But the West Coast
Regional Transport Committee once some bridges stored west of the Alps,
then they could deploy them more swiftly when disaster strikes. Now, look,
it's pouring on the coast as we speak. The area,
(04:52):
due to its geography, attracts an awful lot of rain
that floods a lot. And between the coast and Burnham
in Canterbury is the southern Elms, which also become somewhat
impassable when the weather turns really feral. So when floods strike,
which they will invariably do, the council says, let's have
some bridges here so we can get the region moving quickly.
That is called productivity. But NZTA the bureaucrats don't want to.
(05:17):
They fear if the bridges are stored on the coast
they may rust over. That seems a little overly paranoid.
Now the coast has had some winds recently for self sufficiently,
they've got some bulk fuel storage there now, so if
it all closes down, they can keep the cars running.
They've wanted a hydro electric plant in store, but that's
always been denied because of you know, snails or something
(05:40):
like that. But here's the thing. If we're going to
inhabit one of the most remote regions in the world,
with dramatic weather and the threat of earthquakes, then surely
we should make them more self sufficient. So I say,
give the coast their bridges and give the coast their
hydro Yep, it's twelve after five. Another little story about bureaucrats.
Kaying Aura is set to remove six hundred jobs and
(06:03):
this is part of the pub's public service rationalization. To
be fair, of those six hundred jobs, one hundred and
ninety five positions are currently not filled, so it's really
about four hundred jobs that go now. It is true
that since twenty nineteen, when kang or Aura was established,
that job numbers have ballooned, but it's also true that
the scale of construction has increased markedly. Labour couldn't build
(06:26):
ki we build houses, but it could build social housing.
And to be doubly fair, they did that on the
back of the National government that preceded it who started
an age of social housing suburb regeneration. So this move
is a big tyhoe on the progress we made over
the last ten years, and that's probably to be expected
after such growth. But you know, we still have a
(06:46):
lot of demand for social housing now. The outcome we're
hoping for from these public service cuts is a rebalanced
public economy, and when that happens, we might be able
to create a balanced social housing sector. Feel for the
KO workers who join a legion of construction sector layoffs.
But here's the thing. We must get away from the
(07:08):
boom and bust economic cycles we've fallen into over the
years five fourteen. So apparently, according to the government, we're
doing quite well in health. There are five goals and
they reckon we've had three of them. Is this true
or is this not? We're going to talk to Malcolm
mulholland next, the Chairperson of Patient Voices are Terrah. It's
(07:28):
News Talks here B It's five fourteen.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Andrew Dickens and One Roof to Make Your Property Search Simple,
Youth Talks.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It B sixteen After five I'm Fillagan for Ryan Bridge,
who will be back in a fortnight and a bit,
which also means that Heather will be back at a
fortnight in a bit. So the government's health targets seem
to be on track. This is according to data released
by Health New Zealand. Three out of the five goals
are making good progress, with youth immunization rates and access
to cancer care improving. So I'm joined now by the
(08:04):
patient of the chair of Patient voices Alter and Malcolm
mal Holland. Wanting to you, Malcolm, thank you for getting
up early.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
How are you?
Speaker 10 (08:12):
Yeah, good, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You doubt this data.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Very much. I've spoken to clinicians, oncologists, people who work
in ed and none of them can believe, you know,
the story that the data is saying.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, yes, we've heard lots of complaints about underfunding in
the health sector. We've heard about Nelson this week, we've
heard about Wanica, and yet the government says the statistics
are improving. How can they improve in spite of these accusations.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
Yeah, Well, look, one of the metrics that is used
is about faster cancer treatment. So in that case, looking
at the time from the first appointment to the first treatment,
that's the wrong metric to be measuring. They need to
be looking at from the time of diagnosis to the
first appointment. We know that there are patients who are
waiting eight weeks or longer at Wikatil, christ Each Wellington
(09:03):
in Southland, and in some of those cases the outcome
has been lethal. The patients have waited too long to
keep their first appointment. As a result, the tenser have
spread and there's very little the oncologists can do at
that point.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So you say the government as making a statement for
political reasons, and others might argue that you're making your
statements for political reasons because the government is investing thirty
billion dollars a year into the health system. That's an
awful lot of money.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
Oh absolutely it is, and I would love to know
you know how that thirty billion is spent. But my
motivations aren't political. They come from what is happening on
the ground. Another metric that is provided is around edy
wake times. We note that the Eddie wake times don't
include walkout. We heard about Nelson where there was a
(09:54):
case where live a damage was caused by a walkout.
I'm aware of a case here at mid Central where
a patient went to ED saw that it was overwhelmed,
walked out died the following day at hospice. And we
also know that there were practices in the wider upper
in Auckland where eds were cooking the books. They were
(10:15):
registering patients being admitted virtually, but they weren't actually being seen,
and they were doing that as they neared the six
hour time frame.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But that's what the government's fault necessarily, that's actually the
people on the ground at Health New Zealand, particularly that
ED you mentioned, who you claim was cooking the box.
Speaker 10 (10:35):
Yeah, look, I think it does need to be a
level of honesty. But as I said to you, I've
engaged with nurses who have been working in these ED
departments and they claim that the practice is very much
alive and kicking, and that that comes from a certain
level of management who want to impress the government, who
want to look good.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
All right, Malcolm and Holland, keep fixing out people, and
I thank you. Chairperson of Patient Voices, Alta Rara's nineteen
minutes after five texts through apparently no rain in part
South Taranaki yet, just lots of wind. Can I tell
you where I am coming into work? I aquaplane to work.
There were emergency crews all over the place. We had
a power cut at about two o'clock in the morning,
which actually caused our alarm to go to start whistling.
(11:17):
For some reason. The whole light came on. The washing
machine decided to come on, and Helen got up and
walk around the place and said, our house is haunted.
And I said, no, I think that's just been an
earth I think that's just been an electric power cut.
Love and it's just come back on again. So yeah,
bit of stormy weather. But about time it is twenty
after five. Talking of storms. You know about the battle
or sorry, should I say the Ballads of Yoko and
(11:38):
No Yoko? And what is it? The Ballad of John
and Yoko? That's the Beatles song. Well, I'm changed this
to the Battle of Yuki and Liam. The Japanese Grand
Prix is happening this weekend and the real attention is
at the back of the field, So we'll talk about
this in a few moments time with Eric Thompson.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Pretty Views and Views You Trust has done your day.
It's early edition with Andrew Dickens and One Roof Make
your Property Search Simple, New Talk.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
They'd be excuse me, just too keen to get into it.
It's twenty two after five. Formula One hits Japan this weekend.
Liam Lawson to race for the first time since dropping
to the Racing Bulls. Lawson's replacement, who we've already heard
from this hour, Yuki Sonoda, will be racing for the
main team on Sunday. Eric Thompson is a motoring journalist
and has got up early for us. Good morning to you, Eric,
Good morning Andrew.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I am good. Do we expect any bitterness or awkwardness
or maybe some elbow out racing between Liam and Yuki?
Speaker 11 (12:37):
Maybe some elbow out racing. Lawson has already shown that
he's not scared of anybody on the track, you know,
he's upset Fernando Alonso and a few other people. So yeah,
I think I don't think elbows out will be an issue.
Is certainly not going to hopefully he's not going to
try and change his driving style. But those two have
been friends since junior junior days, so I think there
(12:58):
will be a little bit of a strain on there.
You know, it's like your best you know, you get
the big gig and then all of a sudden, you
know you're still mates because you've got the big gigs,
and then all of a sudden you all sort of
move sideways for your your best mate to get the
big gig. So and you know, egos are a play
in that sport and supports.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And this is what makes it so watchable. So look,
this is a test for Liam, but it's also a
test for the rebel car. Lawson claimed it was a dog.
Yuki said this week it's okay Liam. Fans will want
to see Yuki at the back of the track to
prove that Liam wasn't as bad a driver as some account.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
I get what a great summation Andrew, yes, exactly. But
the thing is Liam Lawson, after his days on the
simulator it's did a very similar similar thing to Sonoda.
Before the start of the seat he said, oh the
car is not that bad. I quite enjoy driving it.
But although simulators are close, they're not the real thing.
It's like having virtuality goggles on and you're playing your
(13:58):
immersed inside a game. You you think it's real, but
it's not real. And I think in about fifteen minutes
pre practice starts, so in about half an hour we'll
see how good a Sonoda is in that car.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
All right, I have one last question for you. I
have one last question for you, because this has been
worrying me. Do you think UB's RB twenty one, the
Red Bull car has been fixed in the fortnight since
the last race, changing conditions?
Speaker 11 (14:25):
No, because that car's fundamental problem is in the chassis.
It's very nervy at the rear and very pointy at
the front, which means everything's on the front. And there's
very few drivers in the world that can drive a
car like that makes the steff and just happens to
be one of them. So there's no way they can
completely change the geometry of their car in a couple
of weeks. They can't try the arrow and other things.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
But yea yeah, well, well that's exactly what Liam did
in the last two races, and that didn't work either.
I am really looking forward to that race, Eric Thompson,
I thank you for your time. News Talks there B.
It is five twenty five.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio. How These
Talks of Me.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Newest Talks B five twenty seven. I'm Andrew Dickens. The
age of globalization is dead. Trump has withdrawn America. Now
we're in an age of blocks, nations that agree to
trade with each other, nations that have commonality. So who
(15:22):
are our friends and who are our friends that we
get on with, and who are our friends we can
trade with? China is our biggest trade friend, but is
China our friend friend?
Speaker 5 (15:34):
No?
Speaker 11 (15:34):
That not.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So we're now into a period of delicate negotiations and
that's going to cause less than perfect trade deals. Now
what do we do about America? Some have said the
situation that we are experiencing is not too bad ten
percent as we speak, But our trade with America is
nine billion a years. Are ten percent is near enough?
A billion dollars which is not inconsiderable? So what should
(15:57):
we do? The Trade Minister and the Prime Minister say
it would be four to retaliate. We're not in the
same weight class. That's true. I just had this random
thought that maybe we should go to the Trump playbook.
We all know that Trump likes to go big and
then pull back to his bottom line. So should we
go back and say, okay, let's call it five and
then wait to see where the cards lie? Who knows?
(16:19):
What I do know, though, is that the world is
in chaos Russia, China, Israel, Ukraine, tariffs and inflation is lurking,
an uncertainty has not gone away, and people are wandering
around using the D word every now and then, depression.
So it is a time for circumspection and recognizing that
(16:41):
the elephants are dancing and we are but mice Andrews.
And we'll talk to the meat industry just before sex
and ask them about their concerns and whether they're happy
enough with the situation as it exists. So that's still
to come. And I've got some Bruce Springsteen news for you.
And also you may have heard yesterday that a scooter
thieving ring had been busted and I had a number
(17:01):
of texts and people asking, well, was your wife's scooter
one of the wife's one of the scooters recovered. I'll
tell you that story in about five minutes time, right
here on News TALKB. This is early edition. I'm Andrew Dickens.
I can't get to talk.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I can't get to you from.
Speaker 12 (17:29):
Talking.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Try talking. I can't go to all this lame night talking.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Andrew Dickens on early Edition with one roof, Make your
Property search simple, used dog Zibbycome.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Dude, thank you for choosing our programs for Friday. I'm
Andrew Dickinson for Iron Bridge. You can text me on
ninety two ninety two. Ben's just said it. Note cheer up, Andrew.
The tariffs are not that bad. It won't affect us
down here. Well, that may or may not be true, Ben,
I mean we may get through, okay. I'm not really
worried about us. I'm or worried about the rest of
the world to be fair, and then what will happen
(18:17):
to us because of that? I mean, they're certainly having
a fight. More on this with Vincent Macaveni in a
few moments time. Bruce Springsteen's releasing a new album. Actually
it's not an album, it's a box set. It's called
Tracks two. The Lost Albums comes out June twenty seventh.
It includes recordings made between eighty three and twenty eighteen,
eighty three songs that have never been released before. Apparently,
(18:40):
it's seven complete albums, each of which was recorded and abandoned,
which shows you just how good Bruce Springsteen is just
to have seven. He went, no, I won't release those,
but I'm sure that will brilliant Now, yesterday we heard
that an e scooter thieving ring had been busted, and
a number of people have texted an emailed me asking
was heaven's my partners which got stolen last week downtown?
(19:04):
No it's not, but here is what's happened in the
past week. We asked the hotel for CCTV footage it
was stolen outside a hotel. They said, you got to
go and ask the police. Okay, so then we had
to go onto the web to ask the police. This
has moved glacially, but yesterday they finally acknowledged it. And
now we wait. This is a week after the theft. Right,
(19:24):
of course we're looking for a replacement. So we went
to the scooter shop. They said, there are pro gangs
who really know what they're doing these days, roaming all
our cities stealing scooters and e bikes. They can hack
the scooter and they hacked ours. We have an app
with a find my scooter function on it for the scooter.
They disabled that within an hour. The criminals import charges
(19:46):
so they can on sell them. They have battery powered
angle grinders that can make short work of a lock,
so now you can buy angle grinder proof d locks.
They cost six hundred dollars a throw. Helen's scooter is
relatively rare. It's a bright orange dual motor in motion climber.
Please look out for it. It's designed for hilly places
(20:09):
like New Zealand. It can go like the Clappers. It
can go forty five k. Now, we have been looking
out for it on trade me, but the scooter shop says, well,
they won't do it on trade me. They actually have
a sophisticated on selling program. Now, crimes only work if
someone complicit doesn't ask questions about where the stolen stuff
comes from. It's called receiving and you're still a criminal
(20:32):
if you do that. And this whole story is making
me feel like the crims are one step ahead of us.
And the other thing about all of this is insurance.
Because you get no satisfaction from the police, you don't
find your scooter again, it's gone. It's gone. So what
(20:53):
do you do? You go to the insurance. So the
insurance people are now paying out a fortune on stolen
e bikes and Nolan stolen Scio because, as I say,
the crims are one step ahead. Were good to go.
It is twenty one to six. Let's go right around
the country. And Callum Procter joins us right now from Dunedin.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
How the Callum you good warning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So we've got the first test results back from the
wastewater which has been discharged into the Shotover River in Queenstown.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Here we do, and it's good news. The Queenstown Lake
District Council started releasing this wastewater into the river daily
on Monday, twelve thousand cubic meters each day. The results
are so far well within consented limits set by the
Otaga Regional Council. The council says these samples were taken
immediately downstream and what they do is reflect the well
(21:44):
operating treatment plant. They say the water will be monitored
more upstream in the future, which will ensure that they
get a full understanding of any effects of this discharge.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well that's the most important thing. Yeah, we don't want
the river polluted. Now, how's your weather.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It's fine in twenty five today, but we've got possible
heavy sundery shells this afternoon with a fresh sour all.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Right, Claire, sure it joins us now from Crushers. Hella Claire,
good morning. So we've had the inquest and the results
into the fatal boat capsize off Kaikoura back in twenty
twenty two. This whole story is absolutely horrific. The details
are horrific. Air pockets with petrol fumes from a leak.
It just it's a horrible story, exactly.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I remember it while it was terrible at the time
and still terrible now, Andrew.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Look.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
Five of the eleven who were on board the boat
in twenty twenty two died when it flipped in Goose Bay,
just off the coast of kai Kota. At the time,
I remember there being a lot of suggestion that this
boat may have struck a whale causing it to flip,
but that's something that had to be confirmed by investigators.
Now the investigation has revealed that it virtually certain to
(22:46):
have happened. It must have hit a whale and then flipped.
The interesting part, as you say, is the Transport accident
investigation commissions found the deaths, though were due to leaking
fuel fumes as well as cold water and the confined
space base the pocket underneath the boat once it had flipped.
It's made seven recommendations to emergency services and had bid
to resolve what's been found to be six major safety issues.
(23:09):
The local MP Nationals Stuart Smith says the survivors and
families who lost loved ones on that day still have
to live with the outcome, but he is hopeful that
future incidents can be prevented now. He says, accidents are
called accidents for a reason and it almost seems like
this was an act of God.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Okay, so how's christ Rich's weather today?
Speaker 8 (23:29):
A bit of an odd one here, quite warm. The
high will be twenty six, but we do have some
showers about. It could be heavy at times and northerlyast
turning southwest.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Thank you have a great weekend. Max Told joins me
from Wellington High Max, good morning. You've got a crime
spree in Wellington.
Speaker 12 (23:43):
Yeah, it appears so police having to bolster the district.
We're bringing in fifteen more investigators to deal with this.
You've got a British couple who have found dead in
a suspected murder suicide in Roseleath on Monday. The next day,
a man was found that outside a home in the
suburb of Northland. That death still unexplained. We do know
that the victim is Simon Baird, a local described as
(24:05):
a gentleman and a lovely man. Police also now believe
the death of sixty three year old Abdul Nabi Zada
last month in Mirrama is linked to that awful home
invasion nearby and Mirramian which the homeowners scuffled with the intruder.
A man has already been arrested for the home invasion.
The former is a homicide investigation, so further charges are possible.
(24:28):
Police acknowledging there's been an unusual spate of serious investigations
launched in recent weeks. Most importantly, though, they say, no
additional reason to be concerned.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Good stuff and I thank you. And what's Willington's weather?
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Some early rain and stronger winds, high of twenty central
to walk on we go neave A written man, A.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Good morning, We've made it to Friday.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This pervert who've secretly filmed twenty two women and girls,
well what a piece of work.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Despicable.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
I agree with you.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Look the sceedencing of this man secretly filmed twenty two
women and girls. Now this was prompted warnings about predator tactics.
Auckland man Micah Fuller. Now he's facing four years in prison.
He pleaded guilty to forty two charges relating to the offending. Now,
many of the twenty two victims, they were recorded as
they showered, undressed and they were using the toilet. So
the government's chief victim's advocate, Ruth's money, she's come out.
(25:20):
She says public messaging is key to addressing the risks,
and she says that look, everyone needs to be aware
of the dangers around them.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I was watching the Telly last night and there was
a very brave woman who came on. She was a victim,
or excuse me, she was a victim. I thought she
was very brave to come on and say stuff.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Oh absolutely, you know what's going on. You're fine now?
Was that your cup of tea?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I'm having a kind of tea while are you talking
about choked? Don't you worry? How's awkards?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Were the rain with heavy falls? And we do need
this rain easing to a few shellers in the afternoon.
We're going to high twenty three. But I can say
that it's going to be fine and sunny for Saturday,
so that'll be.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Got to all right. The tariffs, how are they going
to affect us? And mostly how's it going to affect meat.
I mean, the industry is joining me. Before six it's
news talks. It'll be.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
International correspondence on news talks.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It'd be it's about thirteen minutes to six m. We're
after Europe Vincent Mecha, vinigod morning to you, Good morning.
So the European reaction to Donald Trump's turffs.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
Yeah, like all governments around the world, the UK and
Europe is trying to figure out what to do now
in response, and we're taking slightly different paths. The UK
feels it's close to actually securing a trade deal with
the United States, and so we are still staying on
this sort of uncritical, calm steady path in the hope
that we can get that done quickly. Our rate was
(26:43):
only put at ten percent. We're much more of a
services based economy, we've got less of a trade deficit.
So Kirstarmer hoping that he can do something soon. Are
two primary exports for the US Auto's those obviously are
at twenty five percent. Pharmaceuticals. Those have been given a
temporary reprieve. So there is hope here in London something
can be done, but of course there'll be knock on
effects from everywhere else around the world. Europe though much
(27:06):
bigger manufacturer compared to the United Kingdom. They've been pretty
robust saying they're going to move quickly to retaliatory measures
and they're not happy with this, saying it's a major
blow to the world economy.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yes, and people concern that the war may be overly
recissionary for the whole globe.
Speaker 13 (27:25):
Yeah, I think that, you know, keep hearing the adage
that no one actually wins in the trade war, and
ultimately the people that pay are consumers. So I think
there is a lot of bewilderment about what's going on.
It is a total rewiring of the global economy, and
some people can see, you know, Donald Trump is right
about wanting to reshure a lot of jobs and get
people into quality jobs, but they also feel like this
(27:46):
is going to be a massive shock to the system
after a decade, Let's be honest. Where for here in
the UK, we had the shock of Brexit, then we
had the pandemic, and then we've had the war in Ukraine.
People are quite fed up with these kind of shocks
all right.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Now we move to the between Prince Harry and his
charity center Ballet and now we have an investigation.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
Yeah, the Charity Commission here in the UK is announced
the first stage and a potential investigation into the conduct
of the charity. This is after this war of words
has broken out over Center Ballet which Prince Harry set
up around twenty years ago with Prince Seiso of Lusutu,
which was looking at health, particularly HIV and AIDS in
young people in South southern parts of Africa. And so
(28:30):
this resignation last week, fall out between the sort of
trustees Prince Harry and Prince Seyso and the chair of
the charity has been a bit of a war of
words in the media in the last week. But now
we're going to get an efficial investigation as to what's
been going on in this charity. Prince Harry, for his part,
says he welcomes this.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Have then people of the UK taken sides.
Speaker 13 (28:54):
Well, it's a kind of there's a lot going on
this week, but it is another sort of you know,
Harry Meghan drama, which we're sort of well used to.
I think many people though do recognize that throughout it all,
Prince Harry has been very dedicated to his charity work,
particularly this charity which you know, he founded himself. It
was named, you know, to do with his mother and
(29:15):
forgetting memories of a parent, and so he's been dedicated
to it. He spent a lot of time in this
part of the world, across the African continent doing charity work.
So people just sort of not quite sure what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Okay, Vincent, I thank you so much. It is now
ten minutes to six. Dickens Well, Donald Trump promised global
tariffs and he did it. New Zealand exports are finally
in the firing line. We've been hit with a ten
percent tariff on all imports into the States and across
all industries. And the twenty percent that the US published
(29:47):
to calculate the tariff was calculated off trade deficit rather
than tariff, so that's what we're questioning. So look, we
are considered by some to be the lucky ones because
some countries have been hit between twenty to forty nine percent.
I'm joined now by the chief executive of the Meat
Industry Association, So MKAA be the good morning to you, sir.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Oh I'm sorry. Are we the lucky ones?
Speaker 7 (30:13):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Locke, I don't know that anyone is lucky in this context,
it is quite quite a shock, even though it's not
an unforeseen shop was for forecasted for quite some time,
but the fact that it has transpired is you know,
as quite disappointing, and I don't think anyone can count
(30:33):
themselves lucky because the impact of tariffs will have a
significant disruption and global trade.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
What are you more worried about the actual tariffs on
New Zealand products or as you say, the overall effect
on the entire global trade system.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Oh, I think both of them are very much interconnected.
And you know, in our trade we are very globally connected,
with our experts going to over one hundred and ten
markets around the world. So when one market is in distress,
then that has flow on implications for other markets. And
(31:08):
in this case, the US is a key importer and
export of beef. Therefore, the US announcement is likely to
impack global beef markets anyway, with the number of other
countries looking to redirect their products.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Lexercilate the effect on you to the United States of America,
and they are tariffs that they will be putting on.
I mean, how big is our trade with America and
how will that bilateral trade be affected for US well.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
The US currently is our number one beef export market.
It has billions of dollars worth of trade, and it
has increased over the recent times partly because there is
strong demand for a product in the United States and
also because their domestic production cannot necessarily meet their domestics
(32:00):
consumption demand. So it is going to impact on US.
We currently trade under small quota with a very small tariff,
and nuisance tariff is what we call it, just a
couple of sen tequilo. The ten percent is essentially imposing
over nine point three percent extra cost on our exports
(32:22):
and that is going to be significant.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Would you retaliate or not? Is it just not worth it?
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Well, I think every action has an equal and opposite reaction,
I guess so. I'm not sure that retaliation is quite
the right approach. What we do need to do is
just work within the system as best as we can
and you know, argue the fact that we are a
good trader, good trading partner to the United States, our
(32:50):
product is complementary, and work the commercial angles to find
the best way to put our product.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
In very good look. I wish you like going forward.
That is Cardapeaver who comes from the Meat Industry Association,
and that clunking and thumping and bumping is Mike Hosking,
who's here shortly the.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
News you need this morning and the in depth analysis
early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your
Property Search Simple, News Talk zid Be.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You got a whole lot of Texas reminding me and
everybody that Trump is not the first person to impose
tariffs on countries. Other countries already had them before Donald
Trump did them. But you got to realize we in
New Zealand, we were the first to try and get
rid of tariffs because we had to deal with the
EU scenarios. So we're ahead of the game. And Mike
Hosking joins me, Now, yeah.
Speaker 14 (33:32):
We'll talk about that this morning. The market's funnily enough,
we came we were positive by the end of the day.
New Zealand and Australia wasn't too bad. The Nickay got
whacked because of the cars in Japan. But in the
American market, funnily enough, I've been watching that all morning
and when I came in it was down fifteen hundred,
which is like a disaster. It's still a disaster. But
it's only eleven hundweights, so.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I think they're just waking up to the whole thing
and the impact of it. You've got phill Gough on
the show as well.
Speaker 14 (33:55):
Yeah, well he's come back to the country and done
as I would have done it again routine, which is
not really what his job was, was it, I mean
at the end of the day. So he's on and
we'll talk about the IF one this weekend, talk about
the territor, this good stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
