Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge on
an earlier is show with one Root Love where you
Live News Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sa'd be good morning in six half to five. Great
to have your company. We'll keep you across the cricket
this morning with Smashing South Africa. Sam Ackerman on Dave Rennie.
We'll talk to Todd McLay on trade, the good and
the bad this morning, plus talk about the number of
kids that are going into motel rooms, not from homes
but actually from kier. What's up with that? All ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's Thursday, the fifth of March. So Higg Saith's a
big tough war guy. He is talking tough again about
this US submarine that sank an Iranian warship and the
Indian Ocean that.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death. The first sinking
of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two.
Like in that war, back when we were still in
the war department. We are fighting to win.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All right. Trump's still picking on start.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I'm happy with the UK either that island that you
read about the lease again, you made it for whatever
it is, and he made a lease of the island.
Somebody came and took it away from him, and it's
taken three or four days for us to work out
where we can land. There would have been much more
convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So we are very surprised.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Diego Gusti is where he's talking about. By the way,
this is the guy that's not Winston Churchill.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
What I was not prepared to do on Saturday was
for the UK to join a war unless I.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Was satisfied there was a lawful basis and a viable
thought through plan.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
That remains my position now.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The guy who Trump hates more than Star at the
moment is socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pitdra Sanchez, friend of
justinder A Dunes, and he's heading back at Trump because
Trump is said, basically, we're going to cut all trade
with Spain because they didn't let us use their bases.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
The Spanish government's position can be summed up in four words.
To the war the world, Europe and Spain have been
here before. Twenty three years ago, another US administration led
us to another war in the Middle East, a war
that in theory was said to eliminate the weapons of
mass destruction of Saddam Hussein An, take democracy and safeguard
(02:17):
global safety, but in perspective it had the opposite effect.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Finally, this morning, the Beckhams have wished their son Brooklam
happy birthday on Instagram, two months after this whole riff
came through on Instagram and a post David Beckhams says,
Happy birthday, Bust.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love, where you Live.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
News Talks v News Talks itb eight minutes alfter five
nine two ninety two is the number to text. Interestingly
about the Diego Garcia on the other bases that the
Americans have requested to use for defensive purposes. And you know,
Starmer's okay with that. We wouldn't let them go launch
bombs from there and be on the offensive and joined them,
(03:02):
but happy to do it for defense. They haven't used
any of them yet anyway, So it's been days now
since they said, yep, cool, come in, you can use
it for your defensive purposes. They still haven't even got there.
Apparently they are still days to arrive. So I mean
that's an indication of how long the wall will go on. Actually,
Pete Hegseth has said overnight, you won't like this. Eight weeks.
(03:26):
He's given a new time frame. First he was saying
a couple of weeks, then he was saying four. Now same,
potentially up to eight weeks. This thing will drag out
for So that's something we can all market our diaries
and look forward to, isn't it. Hey, The drones that
the Iranians are using. I've talked to a lot of
people about this over the last couple of days because
they apparently cost about twenty five grand to produce these
sha head dones drones, I should say, and which is
(03:49):
quite cheap, isn't it, And so they've got tons of them.
You don't need lots of missiles, do you. You just
need lots of drones, and they're very cheap to make. Now,
Israel's got the iron dome defense system. Apparently every time
they do that, it's a million dollars to defend to
stop a drone coming in. So a drone costs you
twenty five thousand dollars to stop it with an iron
dome costs you a million. Spoke yesterday to sam Viai.
(04:13):
He's the key we guy that runs and founded iOS Aerospace.
They're out of total on and I asked him about
these drones. He said, they're going to make interceptors.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
But a number of groups around the world are working
on low cost interceptors. So something that can cost you know,
two and a half three thousand dollars per system to
ultimately take out a hostile drone that costs twenty five
thousand dollars. So any system that you need to take
out another system should realistically be cheaper. Otherwise it's a
war of attrition and ultimately whoever has more budget or
(04:47):
has more systems can ultimately win that whin that hostility.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So basically it's going to be one thousand million drones
in the air and then one thousand or a million
little interceptors that cost three or four grand coming to
take them out. Ryan Bridge, eleven minutes after five. By
the way, our government's put a statement out overnight doesn't
tell you much. They're still trying. If you're there in
the region, and there are apparently three thousand or more,
at least three thousand registered with m FAT, help might
(05:14):
be on the way. They're talking to airlines. They're doing
a bunch of other stuff, but nothing concrete yet. As
you can imagine, hard to get through an airport at
the moment. Eleven after five. Next we're talking about kids
in state care with many pecat Okah w take Newstalks
EDBA on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Talks EDB thirteen after five. Great to have your company
this morning. Judy says, good morning Ryan about the UK
not yielding to Trump's wishes, Correct me if I'm wrong,
But wasn't the USA the last to get involved in
World War Two? Also? Trump is no Theodore Roosevelt. Well,
those are true things. It was Pearl Harbor that dragged
them in eventually, wasn't it. John says, from sinking drug
(05:58):
boats to the in the Caribbean to Higgs Seth and
Iran seems to take a lot of delight, a perverse
delight out of being involved in killing people, doesn't he.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I think I think he's just up there. He's he's
won for the troops, isn't he. He's a rally man,
so he's out there trying to boost morale and be
the tough guy, and that's kind of his stick. I
don't know that he I mean yeah, I mean he
doesn't hate it, does he. You wouldn't have to, you'd
have to say that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's so.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Fourteen minutes after five, Ryan numbers that of ordering a
tamadiki getting bleak him. The Independent Children's Monitor sees abuse
in state here is rising. Five hundred and thirty children
are harmed in twenty four to twenty five. That's up
from five hundred and seven the year before. That's ten
percent of the kids totally in care. Medi Peck at
Okawa Tate is fun at Order Commission Agency chair with
(06:48):
us this morning. Medipecker, good morning.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now this picture hasn't moved in the six years of
this report. Now it was bad under labor, bad under national.
Is anyone around the world doing this better?
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Well, certainly I'd like to think so, because I can't
understand why the dial hasn't moved for our children in
care in New Zealand. And unfortunately, as the report just says,
things have not improved. All the attention that seems to
come on to removing the children from their families, and
yet when they do come into care. First of all,
they get abused in care and the minimum standards of
(07:25):
care are not adhered to. So rather than kicking the
can down the road, I think it's kicking the child
down the road. Things are just not changing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, well I suppose nine. I mean, let's look, the
ten percent are being abused or neglected in state care,
which is terrible, but that means ninety percent aren't. Does
that mean that they are better off you know what
I mean, better off than being in the home.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
No, it's not really, because what the report clearly says
is that for a lot of the children in care,
the educational requirements are not being met, certainly they their
health needs are not being met. And so we've got
we've got a number of agencies that know that they
are paid to do a particular job for children who
are already in a vulnerable situation, who need their care
(08:09):
and attention and are not being prioritized. So it does
not look good for those that should be making making
every effort to change and turn around the lives of
children who are already in a vulnerable position.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
No, their lives have been terrible already because this will
they got there in the first place. Because they were,
as the report says, you know, sexually abused by a
family member, or they had a parent on meth who
just didn't care about them as terrible.
Speaker 10 (08:34):
Well, it is, but sometimes I think we should be
actually looking at what are we doing to change those
those issues as well those factors, I mean, because those
factors haven't changed either. So all we're doing, we're reacting
when something happens, putting the child in a situation where
we know from the continuation of the reports that we
receive that we see that nothing will change for them
(08:56):
in state care anyway. So you know, if you don't
if you don't start to address those those factors in
the home that are causing children to be at risk,
that's one thing. And if you don't address and make
sure that the minimum standards of care that they should
be receiving when they go into care are happening and
being prioritized, then it's just going to be one reporter
(09:18):
after another, a lot of dollars going in with no
positive outcomes for the children. And this is happening year
after year.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, six years on the Trump Medipecker. Appreciate your time
this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Medipick at Oka will take. It is seventeen minutes off
to five, and I've got some good news on the cricket.
New Zealand has one hundred and thirty seven runs eleven overs.
New Zealand needs thirty three runs and fifty four balls
to win. So it's looking good. Back with to McClay.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Next, Views and views you trust to start your day.
It's early edicip with Bryan Bridge and one Room Love
where you live.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
News talks.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
That'd be the talks.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
He'd be just gone twenty minutes after five. By the way,
David Seymour will like this. Jardon Analysts have put their
re commendation on their New Zealand stock to sell because
basically you know the story of the national carrier making
and pre tax loss for the current financial year. Basically
they have more cost coming their way than they do
(10:14):
potential revenue. It is twenty after five, Bryan Bridge, so
more of the good numbers. On exports for December quarter
twenty nine billion dollars. That was up two point two
billion on last year. Dairy up ten, tourism up nine
point five, meet up twenty one point four, the war
and shipping disruption ahead wind of course, Todd McClay Trade
minister with us this morning. Minister, good morning, right and hey,
(10:36):
good morning. Any update on the Middle East situation from you,
by the way, on our goods getting to market.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Yeah, we'll look this. The information I received yesterday, a
lot of this are sort of working at face way
through the system still is that shipping lines are putting
in place their contingencies where they are moving goods that
are distance to other nations, you know, not through that
part of the world, So that means some delays for exporters,
but the goods will still get to market. The Midise
(11:04):
itself remains closed. In fact, yesterday we're out on the
ground and Auford else we're talking directly and to exporters
and they are, you know, at this stage is not concerned.
A number of them have insurance in place should there
be an extended period of time that they can't get
good into those markets. But at some stage not too
different futures. Some of the ports we think we'll be
(11:26):
starting to open up, however in the first week and
have seene overnight and it's sill a very precarious situation.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I spoke nice and Nathan Guy yesterday. He mentioned that
MB might need to get involved with changing a few
rigs around a country of destination rules have you?
Speaker 11 (11:41):
Are you across that all, So all of that stuff
can happen quite quickly when needed, no problem at all.
So I mean the advice that will give in you
any exports where they have particularly concerns for what they
are doing, just to reach out. But actually is a
very close relationship between you know MB in fact particularly
and our exporters given that export such an importer part
(12:02):
of our economy. So whatever we need to do or
do as quickly as we can.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Did you see Trump's offer to help to let the
US Navy guide the ships through the Strait?
Speaker 11 (12:12):
I haven't seen that, so no, that's not across my
desk here right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The export numbers in general, the story continues to be well,
a great one for New Zealand.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Yeah, it's very very positive and we've been seeing an
upsourde for a period of time. It's two things. It
is extra demand, a lot more demand for the high
quality products, particularly you know, food and fiber that we produce.
There's also you know, we are more competitive markets with
the New Zealand dollar having been a little bit lower
for a period of time. But Ryan, I think a
couple of standouts you mentioned earlier. You know, Dare is up,
(12:43):
but meet twenty one percent increase is quite phenomenal the
areas of the world that we're seeing, you know, increase
or growth in our exports countries we have free trade agreements.
So the EU was up more than twenty two percent
in that quarter, the UK thirteen percent, Australia of course
it's very very strong as in China, and interestingly, the
(13:05):
US up almost eight percent even with those tariffs in place.
It seems US consumers want you know, New Zealand food
and they're willing to pay a bit.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
More for it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
As a trade minister, are you wanting Trump to just
like stop with the terraffs and stop with the walls please?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Well, I think I like the wall. I think I'd
like all wars to start. But that's a much longer conversation.
So what we need is, you know, the uncertainty to
go away. New Zealand thinks tariffs are harmful. We have
very very low terrif rates here. I mean, if you
think about India, that's a very high teriff area. A
(13:42):
wine face one hundred and fifty percent sheep made thirty percent.
By comparison Indian goods into New Zealand, they're around about
two percent, so very very low. We still get to
trade when there are you know, high teriff rates, albeit
it is harder, but it's the certainty that allows of
a trade agreement that allows our exporters to decide to
(14:03):
put effort into a market. So when there are changes
in tariff rates or conditions or rules, it makes it
very very hard and uncertain. Our exporters may not want
to be in there, or it's harder to make those
long term business relationships. So yes, we'd like the tariff
rates to go away. We don't think they're warranted against
New Zealand from the US. But what we need even
more is some certainty so that you know businesses on
(14:25):
both sides in the US and you like to start
planning again.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Hey, we spoke yesterday about the Golf States. I know
you've got friends counterparts there. Have you spoken to any
of them? Do you know whether they what are they
telling you?
Speaker 11 (14:37):
So I've been messaging as opposed to phoning out the
last day or so, you know, just to express our support,
to check in and see how they are both from
the point of view, you know, professionally, but also in
a couple of those countries have grown quite strong friendships
for some of their trade ministers as we've worked away
at the trade deals over the last year or two. Look,
they are very, very concerned, but they have very solid
(14:58):
plans in place. The most interesting thing is, at least
you're seeing through the media, is that their defense systems
that they have in all of those countries are unbelievably
robust and they are protecting them. But as I've said
on your your other show earlier in the week, you know,
we strongly condemned the actors and Iran and attacking their
friends and neighbors and civilians in those areas and should stop.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
They went harder on in the first twenty four hours
the Gulf States, the US, Saudi's at least than they
did on Israel, which is fascinating. Twenty five after five.
Appreciate your time this morning, Tom McLay, Trade Minister, News
Talks MB the early.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, How It By News TALKSB, News.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Talks VB twenty seven minutes after five. You know they
say cranes in the sky is quite a good sign
of growth in the city. Well, not in Auckland, not
at Seascape meant to be the cities. In fact, the
country's tallest tower one hundred and seven eight one hundred
and eighty seven, almost hundred and ninety meters high. It
is supposed to be beautiful, expansive views over the water,
(16:05):
fifty two stories, a statement building for a city on
the move. That's what we were told. But for two
years we've had this construction stopped, half finished, beams and
nuts and bolts exposed, and yesterday the Chinese outfit developing
it folds completely. Gonskis So what happens to this half
cooked tower down by the wharf. It's kind of hard
(16:25):
to miss. You'll see it. Imagine the skytower, but with
scaffolding all around it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
For a year.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Whatever happens needs to happen fast. Auckland is getting its
mojo back. We've been talking about this for a while,
the politicians are talking about it, but it is happening.
I've been down there and seen it. You've got icc
you've got your CRL stations, the shops, Ponsonbye Viaduct waterfront
absolutely humming and heaving at the moment. There's a real
buzz in the year out there, and it is happening.
(16:53):
It is real. Someone out there will be surely eyeing
a bargain here. Surely they will answer our prayers. Get
up there, finished the job, polished that turn and help
make the city smile and shine. Now, speaking of making
you smile and shine, we just won the cricket and.
Speaker 12 (17:09):
Bang, god's the fastest T twenty hundred and the World
Cup heaver for the men Fan Allen.
Speaker 13 (17:19):
And a hundredge.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You bet you. He's in a hurry for sure. And
how's the black Cats get into the final? They went
by nine wickets, So sorry South Africa, but yes we
are heading to the final for the T twenty which
is fantastic news. Good morning Thursday. We're live to the
States next News Talk said B.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
where you live News Talk sed B.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Twenty four away from six on your Thursday morning. So
we won the cricket, which is fantastic news. If you're
just joining us, we'll be into the final. Could last
eight weeks. This is the war in Iran. Will headlve
to the US shortly, plus Dave Rennie's picks for assistance.
We'll look at that before six o'clock this morning. Fascinating
story out of the UK Chinese spies. Suspected Chinese spies
(18:26):
have been arrested, three of them in London and Wales.
Of all players, what are you spying on? And well,
I don't actually know what's going on in Wales. There's
probably some base or something there that they'd be looking at.
But what I can tell you about the spies their
ages thirty nine, forty three and sixty eight so far
not interesting. Arrested in London, Wales part of a counter
terrorism policing investigation under the National Security Act. All sounds
(18:50):
very serious, doesn't it. But here's your kicker. One of
this alleged spies is the partner of a labor mp
red Now Joannie Reid's husband is David Taylor, and Joannie
Reid has come out and said, how I didn't I
have no part of his business dealings or his business activities,
(19:11):
so therefore would have no idea what they're talking about.
And he has nothing has been proven against him yet,
So that's one to watch this morning. Ryan bred Shitch
goat and reporters now, Jamie Dunedin, good morning.
Speaker 14 (19:23):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So there's a push to prevent irreversible damage to the
shellfish species around Otago.
Speaker 14 (19:31):
Yes, so Terrunga or Moierarchy, wants a two year band
stopping the fishing of all shellfish, particularly cockles, to give
them an opportunity to rebuild. It would cover about one
point three square calimitters from the northern end of the
Moierarchy boulders to headland at Ornica Kata Bay. David Higgins
say's people have been extracting cockle with shovels and spades,
(19:54):
which destroys their environment. He says it's totally inappropriate and
goes against all local nolge of how to extract Kaimwana
from the sea. Higgins says any chance for recovery would
be better than none.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, that's going to abandon everywhere, don't they. How's your weather?
Speaker 14 (20:10):
Possible morning, low cloud or fog, otherwise fine northeasterlies this
afternoon and a high of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Thanks Jamie, Clears and crimes to take Claire.
Speaker 15 (20:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now, we've spoken about that couple that had the cash
and the roof. What are they getting to keep a
little bit.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
Oh well, a little bit, that's it. So this is
the situation that's been going on since May twenty twenty two.
Open just as reports. This cash, it was more than
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars in cash, was found
in five plastic wrappers stored in the roof of a
home that this couple had bought about five months earlier.
The police had been trying to have all of it
forfeited to the Crown as proceeds of crime, but the
(20:46):
couple managed to take the fight right to the High
Court in order to get to keep it. Now, Justice
Robert Osborne has now released his findings and ruled that
this couple can keep forty thousand dollars of the two
hundred and thirty thousand, and the rest of it needs
to be handed over. The couple's identities remain suppressed.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 15 (21:06):
A bit of loight cloud or fog about this morning?
Then should clear to find northeasterlies and a high of
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Nice one. Good morning, maxod morning. Now what's who's getting
petrol vouchers?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (21:17):
Story in the post this morning. Yeah, they're being given
to Wellington patients to drive to fungan Nui Hospital. Nearly
three hundred patients in the region have had to drive
all the way too fung A Nui for MRI scans
since July for their troubles one hundred and fifty dollar
voucher for petrol at one company. Locals said she'd been
waiting about six months for an appointment at Wellington Hospital.
(21:38):
No nothing on the horizon, and then she was told
about this other option and took them up one hundred
and fifty dollars petrol voucher. Health says it is actively
working to reduce wait times for imaging. Our hospital here
obviously not in the best state. We have one off,
if not the worst ed in terms of wait times. Obviously,
these weight times for MRI scans are climbing as well.
(21:59):
There are three m IRAE machines in the Capitol Coast
and hut Valley District in total. How's your wear the
max mostly fine with stronger northerlyies nineteen.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Thank you morning, Neva, Good morning. What's happening in Woaku?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Yes, well, look they want green field development Woyaku, not intensification.
So Franklin local board member, that's Gary Holmes and he
wants the area to be left out of intensification. This
is under Plan Change one twenty. He's favoring Plan Change
seventy three and what is that well that allows for
seven hundred homes to be built on green fields. The
(22:31):
council's currently undertaking a legal battle against that plan. But
Homes says, look, there's clear benefits, absolutely clear benefits, and
he's saying that it's got local community support. It's all
about infrastructure, isn't it. Whether it's there for there and
he's saying that the developer will pay for key infrastructure. Previously,
this is all part of Auckland Council saying, no, we're
(22:51):
going to decide where the house he will go.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It's up to us. How's that weather? Okay?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Mainly fine? Passing cloud twenty two is the high here
in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Went to buy a pier shoes yesterday, Neva at shoe
clinic and the guy who sued me, lovely guy said
he used to knew you through running. Yes, do you
know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
I did?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
He spoke very highly of you.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Ye, those were the days.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Are you still running now?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:15):
I used to run marathons I've run eight Yes, or
you look like a non believer. But the key thing
about my running was that i'd come last, not first.
But that was journey.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
He told a story that you stopped off to get
a mint and cheese pie on one of your runs.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Yes, I did the New York Marathon.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was fish and chips.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
I was still running.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Oh my god, I actually lost the person I went
over as a guide.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
Disabled.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yes, Robert Roberts.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
He was there at that time, and I came in last.
I think I got through, you know, New York Central Park.
It was nearly midnight. I stopped off. I had a
burger fries fish.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I love it. I love it. I got some shoes
by the way, Well you did. We were just sort
of back and forth about the sign, because have you
got one foot bigger than the album?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
And I've got very very wide feet.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yes, I've got quite wide feet too. And my left
foot is half a size bigger than my right foot.
Stop it it's very pronounced. I actually walk if I
can't walk in a straight line.
Speaker 14 (24:14):
I wondered about that every job.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I just want to say anything.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Getting out of the car to size thirteen, No, no,
like a half away. No, No, I don't get two
different sized Shoot, would you just hey, you're running? You're running? Well, yeah,
I'm doing a bit of treadmill stuff.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You should coach me on how to buy a burger.
Thanks Neither eighteen.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
To six International Correspondence with ends an eye insurance, peace
of mind for New Zealand business call it to Sex.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
We'll get to Sam Mackiman on Dave Brenny in just
a few seconds, But first, Pete Higseth has been speaking overnight.
This is the War secretary over in the US, and
he's saying a whole bunch of stuff, including we got
the guy that wanted to assassinate Trump.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Also yesterday the leader of the unit who attempted to
assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran
tried to kill President Trump and President Trump got the
last laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Jagruti Dave, a US correspondent with US Live this morning,
for the rest of the details from the priests. Nice
to have you on the show. So what's he saying
about the war? How long it's going to go on,
who the targets are at the moment.
Speaker 13 (25:24):
Yeah, there was a lot of information in this very
bombastic presentation given by Pete Hesath. He said that to
be completed in under a week. The US Air Force
is planning on having complete control of Iranian skies, that's
uncontested airspace. This is in conjunction with the Israeli Air Force,
and he said the running leaders looking up will see
(25:46):
US and Israeli airpower every day until we decide it's over.
So no indication of a time frame yet, but this
is the next phase. We are seeing more and larger
waves coming. He said, there's more bombers and fighters arriving today,
and they're moving towards more GPS laser guided precision bombs.
(26:07):
This is they say that they have an unlimited stockpile
of that, so they can sustain the fight as easily
for as long as they need to. This to this point,
this was something in more detail that the Chair of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff also mentioned that they're shifting
from a large deliberate strike package to stand in precision
strikes overhead Irans. So right now the standoff strikes, which
(26:29):
are these sort of big sweeping bombings that are happening,
they've got fewer supplies of these, they're more expensive. These
more what they call stand in munitions, which in which
GPS laser guided. They have more supply of those of
their market, marking a transition in the war. And one
other detail I want to mention is that Pete Heggs
(26:49):
has said that an American submarine sunk in Iranian warship
that was thought that thought it was safe in international
waters by torpedo, and this was the first sinking with
a torpedo since World War II. The suggestions that it
is this ship that was found off the off the
Sri Lankan waters that the SriLankan Navy then went to investigate.
(27:12):
So that is to some of the details that we've
had from this press conference.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Jagree, you just very quickly, because I know that the
Senate is going to vote on Trump's warpowers as Warpowers
resolution today. Were you going to notify Congress? Is it
going to go anywhere?
Speaker 13 (27:25):
Well, they've tried this before. This is Democratic Senator Tim Kaine.
He tried to force a vote on war powers related
to Iran before and was voted down. There were similar
votes that took place for Venezuela and they were also
voted down. And this is because Republicans have that slim
majority in both chambers of Congress, and in the end
it just didn't go anywhere. In this instance, it's you
(27:47):
need fifty votes, Democrats have forty seven. One Democrat, Pennsylvania's Fetterman,
has said that he is going to vote against this resolution.
So even though you've got this resolution co sponsored by
a Republican Ran Paul, they probably won't have the numbers
to get it through. But Democrats are saying it's necessary
to have a conversation about the justification for this attack
(28:08):
on Iran. But on the other hand, you've got a
vote in the House later on this later on this week,
where the House Speaker says that again that's likely to
not go through and that the Republicans are making the
point that this is not the time to hamstring the president.
This will underminers authority and the operation that's underway already.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Thank you to Grudy Dave, our US correspondent. And by
the way, name a country and the Iranians are probably
chemic housing droning it at the moment. Turkey is intercepted
one overnight as well, are living away from.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Six Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So who's Dave really going to pick is his assistance
to we.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
Really you've got a strength of surrounding myself with quality
of people, and people can make a difference. And so
I'm king to bring some people and yeah, it's a
key part of understanding, you know, who we represent and
how we want to be perceived.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Sam Eckerman as well our sports commentator, same good morning,
more as you're on.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
And you'll pick well listen. I think there needs to
be something that will resemble a little continuity. I think
Jason Ryan as an assistant coach through a couple of
all back coaches, now who somebody could stay in the
mix outside of that. I really hope they're names that
most people go who. I want the all assistant coaches
to go back to being assistant coaches. Not as important
(29:21):
a part of the orback structure is what the all
back coaches. I want a head coach and other coaches
are come in and do the specialist jobs. I think
he's worked with some wonderful ones through the chiefs in
Matawa two.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
He will look to what he knows here.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I don't expect him bring in from overseas at this stage,
but I'd think players people are Andrew Strawbridge who've been
a wonderful assistant to him in the past and what
he achieved in the chiefs. So hopefully they're going for
guys who don't have big profiles, and we're not going
to take every super rugby head coach like.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
We did under the previous regime.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, some anonymous henchman is what we need.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
White benchman, what we need is people who don't come
in with a big profile. Head coaches working all together
don't always make the right max.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Assistant coaches their role a.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Little more nor plays. Why do you think he beat
Jamie Joseph? Was it because he had a better plan
or was it because of what people said about them?
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I think that his reputation with culture. Jamie Joseph is
known a lot more hard nosed as a coach than
Dave Rennie is. Neither you know, both have got strong reputations.
It is not a cracket either, but Jamie Joseph is
a little faired for some of his training methods more
rather than David Rennie.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
So I think that I think.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Dave Rennie's approached to people and the way that he
players love to play for him as the person I
think got him overlying in the end. I also think
failure overseas and learning overseas has been a massive part
for him.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
To this no loyalties comment that he made. Did Robertson
or others have them to our detriment? Is that necessarily
a dig at anyone?
Speaker 7 (30:51):
I think it's no loyalties to the current squad. Of Course,
he's going to have loyalties, and when he picks players,
he'll want to stick with them. He won't be giving
a guy go one week and then throwing them out
to dropped to pass. So he will have loyalties. But
to me, I read that as he's not loyal to everybody.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Currently in that frame. That said, he doesn't.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Even got his hands on the all WACs personally because
of his rolls over in Japan until essentially the start
of at July windows, So he's going to need to
go with some people who know what they're doing at
the test level, who they are, who the captain is.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's all to come, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
We now we just got to win some tests and
then the World Cup. Easy, Andy, Andy, Yeah, really good, Jess.
Sam sam Mackiman, sports commentator with US Live this morning
eight to six News Talk, said be Mike with You.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Next, the first Word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where
you live News Talks.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
That'd be six to six.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We were talking to Max earlier in Wellington and he
mentioned that you're getting petrol vouchers. If you're in Wellington
you need to see a specialist. You're getting petrol vouchers
or to get an MRI to go drive to Wanganui
of all places to have that done. Now John is
text and he lives in Wanganui and he says, I've
been waiting for six weeks for an MR. Right, normally
you did it, get it done quite quickly. Now I
(32:05):
know why rain Bridge very fair does it, Mike good Morning.
Speaker 17 (32:09):
They need to do what they do in America, which
is have them in the malls and you can have
a full body scans. Quite the thing nowadays. And the
problem with MRI scans is they're.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
This expensive to have those full body scans done.
Speaker 17 (32:20):
Well thinking, ye, well they are, and they aren't because
the more of them there are, the more competition there are,
the price goes down, of course, and the problem with
New Zealanders the equipment is so short and therefore You've
got the cues you.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Had, So why don't we have loads of private operators
coming in here?
Speaker 17 (32:33):
There are There are not loads of private operators, but
there are people. If you want an m R scan
and you're prepared to pay for it, they're readily available.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Do you know what they need? What I need to
scan is my feet. I was just telling neither. I
went buy some new shoes yesterday. You so I'm a
twelve wowss they look too impressive, but I'm a twelve
and a half play Oh, I don't know about the well,
I couldn't reason that.
Speaker 17 (32:57):
Will you like a twelve G or a twelve air four?
I don't know what I'm just I'm just it's like
very short, while I'm a forty two G.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My left foot it is half a size completely different,
It's half a size bigger. Yeah, So what do you do?
Do you go a size up? Or do you go
a size down?
Speaker 17 (33:13):
You have your own shoes made?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Is the do you do? You do that?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Not all the time, but come on, what's next?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I mean, I mean, what's what's what? You don't because
you don't want to buy two? I was thinking, do
I buy one shoe smaller and one shoe bigger. But
you look like it been a problem in terms of yes,
so it is a problem. Well, it's a problem because
I think, especially with the work boots, I go for
the smaller size. And my one is.
Speaker 17 (33:37):
You don't want tight shoes. I'd go looser shoes as
posed to tighter shoes. But i'd go two peers. You'd
have to go two peers because they're not going to
sell you one of each, because that's obviously stupid. So
you have to go two peers. So forty one and
forty two of the your case six.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
So I wear different sized shoes on different and why
not because you'd look weird.
Speaker 17 (33:56):
You look weird already, and you just explain you're not
helping yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
People would notice. No, they were not half a size.
I reckon if it was three sides, I'm sure you
should text them.
Speaker 17 (34:06):
Okay, Well, don't text me up at a proper show
to text me you're your weird CIRCUSMS.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Now, all right, looking forward today show, you'll be doing
the A. B's no doubt.
Speaker 17 (34:15):
Got David Kirk coming in chairing of the board.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
No lest brilliant. All right, have a great day everyone,
see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Just 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. Ryan Bridge on
an earlier is show with one Root Love where you
Live News Talk.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Sa'd be good morning in six half to five. Great
to have your company. We'll keep you across the cricket
this morning with Smashing South Africa. Sam Ackerman on Dave Rennie.
We'll talk to Todd McLay on trade, the good and
the bad this morning, plus talk about the number of
kids that are going into motel rooms, not from homes
but actually from kier. What's up with that? All ahead.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's Thursday, the fifth of March. So Higg Saith's a
big tough war guy. He is talking tough again about
this US submarine that sank an Iranian warship and the
Indian Ocean that.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death. The first sinking
of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two.
Like in that war, back when we were still in
the war department. We are fighting to win.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All right. Trump's still picking on start.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I'm happy with the UK either that island that you
read about the lease again, you made it for whatever
it is, and he made a lease of the island.
Somebody came and took it away from him, and it's
taken three or four days for us to work out
where we can land. There would have been much more
convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So we are very surprised.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Diego Gusti is where he's talking about. By the way,
this is the guy that's not Winston Churchill.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
What I was not prepared to do on Saturday was
for the UK to join a war unless I.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Was satisfied there was a lawful basis and a viable
thought through plan.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
That remains my position now.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The guy who Trump hates more than Star at the
moment is socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pitdra Sanchez, friend of
justinder A Dunes, and he's heading back at Trump because
Trump is said, basically, we're going to cut all trade
with Spain because they didn't let us use their bases.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
The Spanish government's position can be summed up in four words.
To the war the world, Europe and Spain have been
here before. Twenty three years ago, another US administration led
us to another war in the Middle East, a war
that in theory was said to eliminate the weapons of
mass destruction of Saddam Hussein An, take democracy and safeguard
(02:17):
global safety, but in perspective it had the opposite effect.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Finally, this morning, the Beckhams have wished their son Brooklam
happy birthday on Instagram, two months after this whole riff
came through on Instagram and a post David Beckhams says,
Happy birthday, Bust.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love, where you Live.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
News Talks v News Talks itb eight minutes alfter five
nine two ninety two is the number to text. Interestingly
about the Diego Garcia on the other bases that the
Americans have requested to use for defensive purposes. And you know,
Starmer's okay with that. We wouldn't let them go launch
bombs from there and be on the offensive and joined them,
(03:02):
but happy to do it for defense. They haven't used
any of them yet anyway, So it's been days now
since they said, yep, cool, come in, you can use
it for your defensive purposes. They still haven't even got there.
Apparently they are still days to arrive. So I mean
that's an indication of how long the wall will go on. Actually,
Pete Hegseth has said overnight, you won't like this. Eight weeks.
(03:26):
He's given a new time frame. First he was saying
a couple of weeks, then he was saying four. Now same,
potentially up to eight weeks. This thing will drag out
for So that's something we can all market our diaries
and look forward to, isn't it. Hey, The drones that
the Iranians are using. I've talked to a lot of
people about this over the last couple of days because
they apparently cost about twenty five grand to produce these
sha head dones drones, I should say, and which is
(03:49):
quite cheap, isn't it, And so they've got tons of them.
You don't need lots of missiles, do you. You just
need lots of drones, and they're very cheap to make. Now,
Israel's got the iron dome defense system. Apparently every time
they do that, it's a million dollars to defend to
stop a drone coming in. So a drone costs you
twenty five thousand dollars to stop it with an iron
dome costs you a million. Spoke yesterday to sam Viai.
(04:13):
He's the key we guy that runs and founded iOS Aerospace.
They're out of total on and I asked him about
these drones. He said, they're going to make interceptors.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
But a number of groups around the world are working
on low cost interceptors. So something that can cost you know,
two and a half three thousand dollars per system to
ultimately take out a hostile drone that costs twenty five
thousand dollars. So any system that you need to take
out another system should realistically be cheaper. Otherwise it's a
war of attrition and ultimately whoever has more budget or
(04:47):
has more systems can ultimately win that whin that hostility.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So basically it's going to be one thousand million drones
in the air and then one thousand or a million
little interceptors that cost three or four grand coming to
take them out. Ryan Bridge, eleven minutes after five. By
the way, our government's put a statement out overnight doesn't
tell you much. They're still trying. If you're there in
the region, and there are apparently three thousand or more,
at least three thousand registered with m FAT, help might
(05:14):
be on the way. They're talking to airlines. They're doing
a bunch of other stuff, but nothing concrete yet. As
you can imagine, hard to get through an airport at
the moment. Eleven after five. Next we're talking about kids
in state care with many pecat Okah w take Newstalks
EDBA on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you Live News.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Talks EDB thirteen after five. Great to have your company
this morning. Judy says, good morning Ryan about the UK
not yielding to Trump's wishes, Correct me if I'm wrong,
But wasn't the USA the last to get involved in
World War Two? Also? Trump is no Theodore Roosevelt. Well,
those are true things. It was Pearl Harbor that dragged
them in eventually, wasn't it. John says, from sinking drug
(05:58):
boats to the in the Caribbean to Higgs Seth and
Iran seems to take a lot of delight, a perverse
delight out of being involved in killing people, doesn't he.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I think I think he's just up there. He's he's
won for the troops, isn't he. He's a rally man,
so he's out there trying to boost morale and be
the tough guy, and that's kind of his stick. I
don't know that he I mean yeah, I mean he
doesn't hate it, does he. You wouldn't have to, you'd
have to say that.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's so.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Fourteen minutes after five, Ryan numbers that of ordering a
tamadiki getting bleak him. The Independent Children's Monitor sees abuse
in state here is rising. Five hundred and thirty children
are harmed in twenty four to twenty five. That's up
from five hundred and seven the year before. That's ten
percent of the kids totally in care. Medi Peck at
Okawa Tate is fun at Order Commission Agency chair with
(06:48):
us this morning. Medipecker, good morning.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now this picture hasn't moved in the six years of
this report. Now it was bad under labor, bad under national.
Is anyone around the world doing this better?
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Well, certainly I'd like to think so, because I can't
understand why the dial hasn't moved for our children in
care in New Zealand. And unfortunately, as the report just says,
things have not improved. All the attention that seems to
come on to removing the children from their families, and
yet when they do come into care. First of all,
they get abused in care and the minimum standards of
(07:25):
care are not adhered to. So rather than kicking the
can down the road, I think it's kicking the child
down the road. Things are just not changing.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, well I suppose nine. I mean, let's look, the
ten percent are being abused or neglected in state care,
which is terrible, but that means ninety percent aren't. Does
that mean that they are better off you know what
I mean, better off than being in the home.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
No, it's not really, because what the report clearly says
is that for a lot of the children in care,
the educational requirements are not being met, certainly they their
health needs are not being met. And so we've got
we've got a number of agencies that know that they
are paid to do a particular job for children who
are already in a vulnerable situation, who need their care
(08:09):
and attention and are not being prioritized. So it does
not look good for those that should be making making
every effort to change and turn around the lives of
children who are already in a vulnerable position.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
No, their lives have been terrible already because this will
they got there in the first place. Because they were,
as the report says, you know, sexually abused by a
family member, or they had a parent on meth who
just didn't care about them as terrible.
Speaker 10 (08:34):
Well, it is, but sometimes I think we should be
actually looking at what are we doing to change those
those issues as well those factors, I mean, because those
factors haven't changed either. So all we're doing, we're reacting
when something happens, putting the child in a situation where
we know from the continuation of the reports that we
receive that we see that nothing will change for them
(08:56):
in state care anyway. So you know, if you don't
if you don't start to address those those factors in
the home that are causing children to be at risk,
that's one thing. And if you don't address and make
sure that the minimum standards of care that they should
be receiving when they go into care are happening and
being prioritized, then it's just going to be one reporter
(09:18):
after another, a lot of dollars going in with no
positive outcomes for the children. And this is happening year
after year.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, six years on the Trump Medipecker. Appreciate your time
this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Medipick at Oka will take. It is seventeen minutes off
to five, and I've got some good news on the cricket.
New Zealand has one hundred and thirty seven runs eleven overs.
New Zealand needs thirty three runs and fifty four balls
to win. So it's looking good. Back with to McClay.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Next, Views and views you trust to start your day.
It's early edicip with Bryan Bridge and one Room Love
where you live.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
News talks.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
That'd be the talks.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
He'd be just gone twenty minutes after five. By the way,
David Seymour will like this. Jardon Analysts have put their
re commendation on their New Zealand stock to sell because
basically you know the story of the national carrier making
and pre tax loss for the current financial year. Basically
they have more cost coming their way than they do
(10:14):
potential revenue. It is twenty after five, Bryan Bridge, so
more of the good numbers. On exports for December quarter
twenty nine billion dollars. That was up two point two
billion on last year. Dairy up ten, tourism up nine
point five, meet up twenty one point four, the war
and shipping disruption ahead wind of course, Todd McClay Trade
minister with us this morning. Minister, good morning, right and hey,
(10:36):
good morning. Any update on the Middle East situation from you,
by the way, on our goods getting to market.
Speaker 11 (10:43):
Yeah, we'll look this. The information I received yesterday, a
lot of this are sort of working at face way
through the system still is that shipping lines are putting
in place their contingencies where they are moving goods that
are distance to other nations, you know, not through that
part of the world, So that means some delays for exporters,
but the goods will still get to market. The Midise
(11:04):
itself remains closed. In fact, yesterday we're out on the
ground and Auford else we're talking directly and to exporters
and they are, you know, at this stage is not concerned.
A number of them have insurance in place should there
be an extended period of time that they can't get
good into those markets. But at some stage not too
different futures. Some of the ports we think we'll be
(11:26):
starting to open up, however in the first week and
have seene overnight and it's sill a very precarious situation.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I spoke nice and Nathan Guy yesterday. He mentioned that
MB might need to get involved with changing a few
rigs around a country of destination rules have you?
Speaker 11 (11:41):
Are you across that all, So all of that stuff
can happen quite quickly when needed, no problem at all.
So I mean the advice that will give in you
any exports where they have particularly concerns for what they
are doing, just to reach out. But actually is a
very close relationship between you know MB in fact particularly
and our exporters given that export such an importer part
(12:02):
of our economy. So whatever we need to do or
do as quickly as we can.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Did you see Trump's offer to help to let the
US Navy guide the ships through the Strait?
Speaker 11 (12:12):
I haven't seen that, so no, that's not across my
desk here right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The export numbers in general, the story continues to be well,
a great one for New Zealand.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Yeah, it's very very positive and we've been seeing an
upsourde for a period of time. It's two things. It
is extra demand, a lot more demand for the high
quality products, particularly you know, food and fiber that we produce.
There's also you know, we are more competitive markets with
the New Zealand dollar having been a little bit lower
for a period of time. But Ryan, I think a
couple of standouts you mentioned earlier. You know, Dare is up,
(12:43):
but meet twenty one percent increase is quite phenomenal the
areas of the world that we're seeing, you know, increase
or growth in our exports countries we have free trade agreements.
So the EU was up more than twenty two percent
in that quarter, the UK thirteen percent, Australia of course
it's very very strong as in China, and interestingly, the
(13:05):
US up almost eight percent even with those tariffs in place.
It seems US consumers want you know, New Zealand food
and they're willing to pay a bit.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
More for it.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
As a trade minister, are you wanting Trump to just
like stop with the terraffs and stop with the walls please?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Well, I think I like the wall. I think I'd
like all wars to start. But that's a much longer conversation.
So what we need is, you know, the uncertainty to
go away. New Zealand thinks tariffs are harmful. We have
very very low terrif rates here. I mean, if you
think about India, that's a very high teriff area. A
(13:42):
wine face one hundred and fifty percent sheep made thirty percent.
By comparison Indian goods into New Zealand, they're around about
two percent, so very very low. We still get to
trade when there are you know, high teriff rates, albeit
it is harder, but it's the certainty that allows of
a trade agreement that allows our exporters to decide to
(14:03):
put effort into a market. So when there are changes
in tariff rates or conditions or rules, it makes it
very very hard and uncertain. Our exporters may not want
to be in there, or it's harder to make those
long term business relationships. So yes, we'd like the tariff
rates to go away. We don't think they're warranted against
New Zealand from the US. But what we need even
more is some certainty so that you know businesses on
(14:25):
both sides in the US and you like to start
planning again.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Hey, we spoke yesterday about the Golf States. I know
you've got friends counterparts there. Have you spoken to any
of them? Do you know whether they what are they
telling you?
Speaker 11 (14:37):
So I've been messaging as opposed to phoning out the
last day or so, you know, just to express our support,
to check in and see how they are both from
the point of view, you know, professionally, but also in
a couple of those countries have grown quite strong friendships
for some of their trade ministers as we've worked away
at the trade deals over the last year or two. Look,
they are very, very concerned, but they have very solid
(14:58):
plans in place. The most interesting thing is, at least
you're seeing through the media, is that their defense systems
that they have in all of those countries are unbelievably
robust and they are protecting them. But as I've said
on your your other show earlier in the week, you know,
we strongly condemned the actors and Iran and attacking their
friends and neighbors and civilians in those areas and should stop.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
They went harder on in the first twenty four hours
the Gulf States, the US, Saudi's at least than they
did on Israel, which is fascinating. Twenty five after five.
Appreciate your time this morning, Tom McLay, Trade Minister, News
Talks MB the early.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, How It By News TALKSB, News.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Talks VB twenty seven minutes after five. You know they
say cranes in the sky is quite a good sign
of growth in the city. Well, not in Auckland, not
at Seascape meant to be the cities. In fact, the
country's tallest tower one hundred and seven eight one hundred
and eighty seven, almost hundred and ninety meters high. It
is supposed to be beautiful, expansive views over the water,
(16:05):
fifty two stories, a statement building for a city on
the move. That's what we were told. But for two
years we've had this construction stopped, half finished, beams and
nuts and bolts exposed, and yesterday the Chinese outfit developing
it folds completely. Gonskis So what happens to this half
cooked tower down by the wharf. It's kind of hard
(16:25):
to miss. You'll see it. Imagine the skytower, but with
scaffolding all around it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
For a year.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Whatever happens needs to happen fast. Auckland is getting its
mojo back. We've been talking about this for a while,
the politicians are talking about it, but it is happening.
I've been down there and seen it. You've got icc
you've got your CRL stations, the shops, Ponsonbye Viaduct waterfront
absolutely humming and heaving at the moment. There's a real
buzz in the year out there, and it is happening.
(16:53):
It is real. Someone out there will be surely eyeing
a bargain here. Surely they will answer our prayers. Get
up there, finished the job, polished that turn and help
make the city smile and shine. Now, speaking of making
you smile and shine, we just won the cricket and.
Speaker 12 (17:09):
Bang, god's the fastest T twenty hundred and the World
Cup heaver for the men Fan Allen.
Speaker 13 (17:19):
And a hundredge.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You bet you. He's in a hurry for sure. And
how's the black Cats get into the final? They went
by nine wickets, So sorry South Africa, but yes we
are heading to the final for the T twenty which
is fantastic news. Good morning Thursday. We're live to the
States next News Talk said B.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
where you live News Talk sed B.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Twenty four away from six on your Thursday morning. So
we won the cricket, which is fantastic news. If you're
just joining us, we'll be into the final. Could last
eight weeks. This is the war in Iran. Will headlve
to the US shortly, plus Dave Rennie's picks for assistance.
We'll look at that before six o'clock this morning. Fascinating
story out of the UK Chinese spies. Suspected Chinese spies
(18:26):
have been arrested, three of them in London and Wales.
Of all players, what are you spying on? And well,
I don't actually know what's going on in Wales. There's
probably some base or something there that they'd be looking at.
But what I can tell you about the spies their
ages thirty nine, forty three and sixty eight so far
not interesting. Arrested in London, Wales part of a counter
terrorism policing investigation under the National Security Act. All sounds
(18:50):
very serious, doesn't it. But here's your kicker. One of
this alleged spies is the partner of a labor mp
red Now Joannie Reid's husband is David Taylor, and Joannie
Reid has come out and said, how I didn't I
have no part of his business dealings or his business activities,
(19:11):
so therefore would have no idea what they're talking about.
And he has nothing has been proven against him yet,
So that's one to watch this morning. Ryan bred Shitch
goat and reporters now, Jamie Dunedin, good morning.
Speaker 14 (19:23):
Good morning Ryan.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So there's a push to prevent irreversible damage to the
shellfish species around Otago.
Speaker 14 (19:31):
Yes, so Terrunga or Moierarchy, wants a two year band
stopping the fishing of all shellfish, particularly cockles, to give
them an opportunity to rebuild. It would cover about one
point three square calimitters from the northern end of the
Moierarchy boulders to headland at Ornica Kata Bay. David Higgins
say's people have been extracting cockle with shovels and spades,
(19:54):
which destroys their environment. He says it's totally inappropriate and
goes against all local nolge of how to extract Kaimwana
from the sea. Higgins says any chance for recovery would
be better than none.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, that's going to abandon everywhere, don't they. How's your weather?
Speaker 14 (20:10):
Possible morning, low cloud or fog, otherwise fine northeasterlies this
afternoon and a high of twenty one.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Thanks Jamie, Clears and crimes to take Claire.
Speaker 15 (20:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now, we've spoken about that couple that had the cash
and the roof. What are they getting to keep a
little bit.
Speaker 15 (20:24):
Oh well, a little bit, that's it. So this is
the situation that's been going on since May twenty twenty two.
Open just as reports. This cash, it was more than
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars in cash, was found
in five plastic wrappers stored in the roof of a
home that this couple had bought about five months earlier.
The police had been trying to have all of it
forfeited to the Crown as proceeds of crime, but the
(20:46):
couple managed to take the fight right to the High
Court in order to get to keep it. Now, Justice
Robert Osborne has now released his findings and ruled that
this couple can keep forty thousand dollars of the two
hundred and thirty thousand, and the rest of it needs
to be handed over. The couple's identities remain suppressed.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 15 (21:06):
A bit of loight cloud or fog about this morning?
Then should clear to find northeasterlies and a high of
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Nice one. Good morning, maxod morning. Now what's who's getting
petrol vouchers?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (21:17):
Story in the post this morning. Yeah, they're being given
to Wellington patients to drive to fungan Nui Hospital. Nearly
three hundred patients in the region have had to drive
all the way too fung A Nui for MRI scans
since July for their troubles one hundred and fifty dollar
voucher for petrol at one company. Locals said she'd been
waiting about six months for an appointment at Wellington Hospital.
(21:38):
No nothing on the horizon, and then she was told
about this other option and took them up one hundred
and fifty dollars petrol voucher. Health says it is actively
working to reduce wait times for imaging. Our hospital here
obviously not in the best state. We have one off,
if not the worst ed in terms of wait times. Obviously,
these weight times for MRI scans are climbing as well.
(21:59):
There are three m IRAE machines in the Capitol Coast
and hut Valley District in total. How's your wear the
max mostly fine with stronger northerlyies nineteen.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Thank you morning, Neva, Good morning. What's happening in Woaku?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Yes, well, look they want green field development Woyaku, not intensification.
So Franklin local board member, that's Gary Holmes and he
wants the area to be left out of intensification. This
is under Plan Change one twenty. He's favoring Plan Change
seventy three and what is that well that allows for
seven hundred homes to be built on green fields. The
(22:31):
council's currently undertaking a legal battle against that plan. But
Homes says, look, there's clear benefits, absolutely clear benefits, and
he's saying that it's got local community support. It's all
about infrastructure, isn't it. Whether it's there for there and
he's saying that the developer will pay for key infrastructure. Previously,
this is all part of Auckland Council saying, no, we're
(22:51):
going to decide where the house he will go.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It's up to us. How's that weather? Okay?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Mainly fine? Passing cloud twenty two is the high here
in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Went to buy a pier shoes yesterday, Neva at shoe
clinic and the guy who sued me, lovely guy said
he used to knew you through running. Yes, do you
know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
I did?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
He spoke very highly of you.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Ye, those were the days.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Are you still running now?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:15):
I used to run marathons I've run eight Yes, or
you look like a non believer. But the key thing
about my running was that i'd come last, not first.
But that was journey.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
He told a story that you stopped off to get
a mint and cheese pie on one of your runs.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Yes, I did the New York Marathon.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It was fish and chips.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
I was still running.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Oh my god, I actually lost the person I went
over as a guide.
Speaker 14 (23:39):
Disabled.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yes, Robert Roberts.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
He was there at that time, and I came in last.
I think I got through, you know, New York Central Park.
It was nearly midnight. I stopped off. I had a
burger fries fish.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I love it. I love it. I got some shoes
by the way, Well you did. We were just sort
of back and forth about the sign, because have you
got one foot bigger than the album?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
And I've got very very wide feet.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yes, I've got quite wide feet too. And my left
foot is half a size bigger than my right foot.
Stop it it's very pronounced. I actually walk if I
can't walk in a straight line.
Speaker 14 (24:14):
I wondered about that every job.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I just want to say anything.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Getting out of the car to size thirteen, No, no,
like a half away. No, No, I don't get two
different sized Shoot, would you just hey, you're running? You're running? Well, yeah,
I'm doing a bit of treadmill stuff.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
Well done.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You should coach me on how to buy a burger.
Thanks Neither eighteen.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
To six International Correspondence with ends an eye insurance, peace
of mind for New Zealand business call it to Sex.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
We'll get to Sam Mackiman on Dave Brenny in just
a few seconds, But first, Pete Higseth has been speaking overnight.
This is the War secretary over in the US, and
he's saying a whole bunch of stuff, including we got
the guy that wanted to assassinate Trump.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Also yesterday the leader of the unit who attempted to
assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran
tried to kill President Trump and President Trump got the
last laugh.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Jagruti Dave, a US correspondent with US Live this morning,
for the rest of the details from the priests. Nice
to have you on the show. So what's he saying
about the war? How long it's going to go on,
who the targets are at the moment.
Speaker 13 (25:24):
Yeah, there was a lot of information in this very
bombastic presentation given by Pete Hesath. He said that to
be completed in under a week. The US Air Force
is planning on having complete control of Iranian skies, that's
uncontested airspace. This is in conjunction with the Israeli Air Force,
and he said the running leaders looking up will see
(25:46):
US and Israeli airpower every day until we decide it's over.
So no indication of a time frame yet, but this
is the next phase. We are seeing more and larger
waves coming. He said, there's more bombers and fighters arriving today,
and they're moving towards more GPS laser guided precision bombs.
(26:07):
This is they say that they have an unlimited stockpile
of that, so they can sustain the fight as easily
for as long as they need to. This to this point,
this was something in more detail that the Chair of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff also mentioned that they're shifting
from a large deliberate strike package to stand in precision
strikes overhead Irans. So right now the standoff strikes, which
(26:29):
are these sort of big sweeping bombings that are happening,
they've got fewer supplies of these, they're more expensive. These
more what they call stand in munitions, which in which
GPS laser guided. They have more supply of those of
their market, marking a transition in the war. And one
other detail I want to mention is that Pete Heggs
(26:49):
has said that an American submarine sunk in Iranian warship
that was thought that thought it was safe in international
waters by torpedo, and this was the first sinking with
a torpedo since World War II. The suggestions that it
is this ship that was found off the off the
Sri Lankan waters that the SriLankan Navy then went to investigate.
(27:12):
So that is to some of the details that we've
had from this press conference.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Jagree, you just very quickly, because I know that the
Senate is going to vote on Trump's warpowers as Warpowers
resolution today. Were you going to notify Congress? Is it
going to go anywhere?
Speaker 13 (27:25):
Well, they've tried this before. This is Democratic Senator Tim Kaine.
He tried to force a vote on war powers related
to Iran before and was voted down. There were similar
votes that took place for Venezuela and they were also
voted down. And this is because Republicans have that slim
majority in both chambers of Congress, and in the end
it just didn't go anywhere. In this instance, it's you
(27:47):
need fifty votes, Democrats have forty seven. One Democrat, Pennsylvania's Fetterman,
has said that he is going to vote against this resolution.
So even though you've got this resolution co sponsored by
a Republican Ran Paul, they probably won't have the numbers
to get it through. But Democrats are saying it's necessary
to have a conversation about the justification for this attack
(28:08):
on Iran. But on the other hand, you've got a
vote in the House later on this later on this week,
where the House Speaker says that again that's likely to
not go through and that the Republicans are making the
point that this is not the time to hamstring the president.
This will underminers authority and the operation that's underway already.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Thank you to Grudy Dave, our US correspondent. And by
the way, name a country and the Iranians are probably
chemic housing droning it at the moment. Turkey is intercepted
one overnight as well, are living away from.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Six Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So who's Dave really going to pick is his assistance
to we.
Speaker 16 (28:41):
Really you've got a strength of surrounding myself with quality
of people, and people can make a difference. And so
I'm king to bring some people and yeah, it's a
key part of understanding, you know, who we represent and
how we want to be perceived.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Sam Eckerman as well our sports commentator, same good morning,
more as you're on.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
And you'll pick well listen. I think there needs to
be something that will resemble a little continuity. I think
Jason Ryan as an assistant coach through a couple of
all back coaches, now who somebody could stay in the
mix outside of that. I really hope they're names that
most people go who. I want the all assistant coaches
to go back to being assistant coaches. Not as important
(29:21):
a part of the orback structure is what the all
back coaches. I want a head coach and other coaches
are come in and do the specialist jobs. I think
he's worked with some wonderful ones through the chiefs in
Matawa two.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
He will look to what he knows here.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I don't expect him bring in from overseas at this stage,
but I'd think players people are Andrew Strawbridge who've been
a wonderful assistant to him in the past and what
he achieved in the chiefs. So hopefully they're going for
guys who don't have big profiles, and we're not going
to take every super rugby head coach like.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
We did under the previous regime.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, some anonymous henchman is what we need.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
White benchman, what we need is people who don't come
in with a big profile. Head coaches working all together
don't always make the right max.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Assistant coaches their role a.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Little more nor plays. Why do you think he beat
Jamie Joseph? Was it because he had a better plan
or was it because of what people said about them?
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I think that his reputation with culture. Jamie Joseph is
known a lot more hard nosed as a coach than
Dave Rennie is. Neither you know, both have got strong reputations.
It is not a cracket either, but Jamie Joseph is
a little faired for some of his training methods more
rather than David Rennie.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
So I think that I think.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Dave Rennie's approached to people and the way that he
players love to play for him as the person I
think got him overlying in the end. I also think
failure overseas and learning overseas has been a massive part
for him.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
To this no loyalties comment that he made. Did Robertson
or others have them to our detriment? Is that necessarily
a dig at anyone?
Speaker 7 (30:51):
I think it's no loyalties to the current squad. Of Course,
he's going to have loyalties, and when he picks players,
he'll want to stick with them. He won't be giving
a guy go one week and then throwing them out
to dropped to pass. So he will have loyalties. But
to me, I read that as he's not loyal to everybody.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Currently in that frame. That said, he doesn't.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Even got his hands on the all WACs personally because
of his rolls over in Japan until essentially the start
of at July windows, So he's going to need to
go with some people who know what they're doing at
the test level, who they are, who the captain is.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's all to come, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
We now we just got to win some tests and
then the World Cup. Easy, Andy, Andy, Yeah, really good, Jess.
Sam sam Mackiman, sports commentator with US Live this morning
eight to six News Talk, said be Mike with You.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Next, the first Word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof love where
you live News Talks.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
That'd be six to six.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
We were talking to Max earlier in Wellington and he
mentioned that you're getting petrol vouchers. If you're in Wellington
you need to see a specialist. You're getting petrol vouchers
or to get an MRI to go drive to Wanganui
of all places to have that done. Now John is
text and he lives in Wanganui and he says, I've
been waiting for six weeks for an MR. Right, normally
you did it, get it done quite quickly. Now I
(32:05):
know why rain Bridge very fair does it, Mike good Morning.
Speaker 17 (32:09):
They need to do what they do in America, which
is have them in the malls and you can have
a full body scans. Quite the thing nowadays. And the
problem with MRI scans is they're.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
This expensive to have those full body scans done.
Speaker 17 (32:20):
Well thinking, ye, well they are, and they aren't because
the more of them there are, the more competition there are,
the price goes down, of course, and the problem with
New Zealanders the equipment is so short and therefore You've
got the cues you.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Had, So why don't we have loads of private operators
coming in here?
Speaker 17 (32:33):
There are There are not loads of private operators, but
there are people. If you want an m R scan
and you're prepared to pay for it, they're readily available.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Do you know what they need? What I need to
scan is my feet. I was just telling neither. I
went buy some new shoes yesterday. You so I'm a
twelve wowss they look too impressive, but I'm a twelve
and a half play Oh, I don't know about the well,
I couldn't reason that.
Speaker 17 (32:57):
Will you like a twelve G or a twelve air four?
I don't know what I'm just I'm just it's like
very short, while I'm a forty two G.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My left foot it is half a size completely different,
It's half a size bigger. Yeah, So what do you do?
Do you go a size up? Or do you go
a size down?
Speaker 17 (33:13):
You have your own shoes made?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Is the do you do? You do that?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Not all the time, but come on, what's next?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I mean, I mean, what's what's what? You don't because
you don't want to buy two? I was thinking, do
I buy one shoe smaller and one shoe bigger. But
you look like it been a problem in terms of yes,
so it is a problem. Well, it's a problem because
I think, especially with the work boots, I go for
the smaller size. And my one is.
Speaker 17 (33:37):
You don't want tight shoes. I'd go looser shoes as
posed to tighter shoes. But i'd go two peers. You'd
have to go two peers because they're not going to
sell you one of each, because that's obviously stupid. So
you have to go two peers. So forty one and
forty two of the your case six.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
So I wear different sized shoes on different and why
not because you'd look weird.
Speaker 17 (33:56):
You look weird already, and you just explain you're not
helping yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
People would notice. No, they were not half a size.
I reckon if it was three sides, I'm sure you
should text them.
Speaker 17 (34:06):
Okay, Well, don't text me up at a proper show
to text me you're your weird CIRCUSMS.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Now, all right, looking forward today show, you'll be doing
the A. B's no doubt.
Speaker 17 (34:15):
Got David Kirk coming in chairing of the board.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
