Speaker 1 (00:00):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving,
news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
They'd be good morning at A six a half to five.
Great to have your company coming up Washington will hit
their live. Trump's about to do a press conference cycling
in the railway crossing incident, Andrew in with sports where
he'd did Donner in Australia, and the graduate ghost jobs
that are disappearing in our capital.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The agenda Tuesday the Senate of April.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Great to have your company. Trump's at the White House
for an annual Easter events with the wife and loads
of children. So what's on his Easter wish list?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I had my choice, what would I like to do?
Take the oil? Because it's there for the decade. There's
not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the
American people would like to see us come home.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
If we're up to me, I'd take the oil.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I kept the oil.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I would make plenty of money, and I'd also take
care of the people of Iran much better than they've
been taken care of him.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Now, there's a forty five day ceasefire proposal that the
Americans put up Iran has already shot it down. Staying
in the US. The TV host Savannah Guthrie back on
the Today Show as the search for her mother continues.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Good morning, Welcome to Today on this Monday morning. We
are so glad you started your week with us, and
it is good to be home.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, it is good to have you back at home.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, here we go, ready or not, let's do the news.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So good to have you. She's been off since January.
That's when her eighty four year old mum was reported missing.
Still no sign of her, by the way. Finally, this morning,
a bit of a scandal in the UK. PEPSI is
pulling pin on sponsoring a concert in London. This is
because Kanye is involved Kanya last year, if you don't remember,
(01:44):
label day song hal Hitler and sold swastika T shirts.
He's blamed as bipolar disorder for all of this.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
I feel sympathy for his mental health challenges and for
his bipona disorder. But I think that the challenges we
saw this at BAFT as well, that doesn't mean you
should give people a stage to about what might be
really problematic things. The people who care about these artists
and should should be not giving them a problematic place
to those views.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving
News talks.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That'd be eight after five. Hope you had a lovely
long weekend, lovely Easter weekend. I was chatting to a friend.
Nothing to this friend, has nothing to do with the news,
nothing to do with politics, just a normal person, and
was chatting to her about what's been going on with Priser, petrol,
price of diesel, et cetera. And they said, it's actually
been nice having the weekend with not much going on,
(02:39):
you know, no news alerts or fewer news alerts going
out about the crisis. Seventeen days of diesel in the country,
even though there's a bunch more on the water that's inbound.
Let's not talk about that. Let's focus on the seventeen
days in the country. Still no hint by the way
of confirmation that we will actually have a shortage. I mean,
(02:59):
I know we can all look across to the straight
up horn moves and see what's going on, but there
is at this point, according to the government and industry,
no confirmation we will actually have a shortage of fuel
the crisis which the politicians and the media are calling
it is still there. But when it's not getting rammed
down your throat, you sort of forget it's there a
(03:19):
little bit, don't you. Did you forget over the weekend?
Was it that big of a deal for you? I mean, sure,
petrol is more expensive and you can't avoid that if
you have to make trips, But there are lots of
trips you don't have to make, and so you just
don't make them, or you walk. You know, do you
need to drive all the way to the beach, can
you walk? Do you need to drive to the supermarket
(03:40):
around the corner or can you walk? Diesel and transport
costa of course the big worry here, But what do
you actually do about it? Hit the panic button like
Albanzi did and cancel rucks. Not even the industry here
in New Zealand is asking for that at this point.
And there was an interesting bit in the post at
the weekend which showed daily traffic flow dark. We are
(04:01):
making more journeys now, more cars on the road in
the middle of this crisis than any march over the
last eight years. That's on the main routes. In other words,
we adjust to the price of fuel. In fact, we
drive more when it's more expensive. And I told my
friend this is probably not the right advice given my
line of work, but I told her to turn her
(04:22):
phone news notifications off because mostly they're not worth reading.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Bran Bridge ten.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Minutes after five nineteen nine two is the number to text,
Hey the ittemist two. This is fascinating. It's fascinating because
of what NASA wants to do. This is obviously step
one and a marathon that will be an end in
US colonizing the Moon, and they want to do eventually
by twenty thirty twenty thirty two. They want to do
(04:49):
one mission every six months to the Moon and set
up a base and colonize the place. But what's interesting
about today is they are going to do the flyby,
not stop obviously, but fly by, then swing around and
head back to planet Earth. It will be the furthest
at any the farthest that any astronaut has been, further
(05:10):
than anyone went in the nineteen seventies, which was about
eight forty seven kilometers beyond the Moon. So there you go.
There'll be a reck wold. Should be all things going well,
a record broken Today eleven minutes after five, we're back
and talking graduate jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Next, News and Views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for business
Technology that keeps business Moving.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Newstalk ZB five point thirteen on News Talks AB fascinating
what the Ukrainians are doing in Russia and I was
reading it at the weekend that their drones have knocked
out forty percent of the Russian's oil export capacity forty
percent and you consider the fact that they lean heavily
on gas and oil exports for revenue in Moscow. In fact,
(05:57):
a third Traditionally a third of the England's budget comes
from oil and gas exports. They have had to now
suspend or cancel all gasoline exports out of Russia because
they need to prioritize that supply for their own domestic purposes.
So incredible, after fifteen hundred days at war, the Ukrainians
(06:18):
are launching these drone attacks. They had an oil terminal
in the Black Sea at a port in the Black
Sea yesterday. Forty percent of the Russians capacity to export
oil has been dealt a deadly blow China. By the way,
in India, the ones who buy the oil normally off
the Russians. Fourteen after five Bryan Bridge fewer graduate jobs
in Wellington. This is in the public service. So the
(06:40):
numbers now just under two hundred jobs last year compared
to nearly five hundred and the year before that. Aiden Donohue, Victoria,
University of Wellington Students Association, Vice President with me this morning,
Aid and good morning, good morning. What jobs are we
talking about?
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Graduate jobs are we're talking about jobs that are offered
either directly after graduating or early in careers. Your first
three years sort of after leaving university.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And what typically type of degree would you have done
to get one of these jobs.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
It's a bit of a mixed bunch. So you have
commerce degrees, so your Treasury financial markets authority, but you
know other humanities degrees such as mb kind of Order
and Ministry of Ethnic Communities, all sorts of degrees to
get into the public service.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And these people are now because the public service doesn't
have the same number of jobs that they used to
perhaps under a labor government. Whatever they are going, we're doing.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
What well they're going ours? Right, That's that's the simple
fact about it. There's there's fuel work and there's more
pay to be asked for over there, so why not,
you know, move over?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Do we know? I guess the question is whether these
jobs were actually worth our time in the first place.
Has anyone notice that they're missing?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I'd say, well, they are graduates themselves have noticed. But
the key thing about you know, public sector roles is
you go in as a bit of a generalist, so
even though you might start off in one place, you
find yourself all over the shop, you know, offering help
wherever it is needed.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Really, is there anything stopping these graduates from becoming frontline
police officers or teachers?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
No, really, other than sort of what you train for.
But teaching is a whole nother kettle of fish around
job availability after graduating as.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well as in there aren't jobs.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Yeah, as in it's hard. You've got to do you know,
unplaid placements to get in first, and then you've got
to do your time and again, same sort of draws
to move just odds to be a police or to
be a couple or teacher.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are they given the fact that there aren't as many
graduate jobs in Wellington? Are fewer people going into the
courses that would split them out? The other end to
take those jobs.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
We're not seeing that directly so far. We've seen a
lot of people maybe go in with the mindset that
they will just move anyway if it isn't the option
to stay within Willington.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Appreciate your time this morning, Aiden, Thank you Aiden Donahue,
who's views of vice president in Wellington. Seventeen minutes after five,
nine nine two is the number to text. We'll get
to Andrewi's Sport next.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for Business Technology
that keeps business moving NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
News TALKSB it is nineteen minutes after five. Just a
little warning if you're buying a property, especially if you're
buying a property in the New Nighporer City Council owned
residential development known as formerly known as Lagoon Farm, which
should be a warning to you. Twenty one hundred and
twenty hectare site. It's called Parkland's Estate. At the weekend
there was a story about a number of people trying
(09:44):
to buy properties there and you should always check the limb.
We know that, but you should also check insurance and
this would be home owner went it did exactly that
with Tower and there were eight checked, eight addresses in
this estate. It's a relatively new estate, and all eight
of them came back and Tower said, no, we won't
cover you because the risk of sea and undation. Now
(10:05):
it's two k's from the ocean, and the council had
checked the council records and checked the regional council records
and decided no, no, it's all fine, it's all good.
So clearly Tower is using different modeling. So I mean,
just from an individual point of view, I would definitely
be going before I'm buying any property onto each insurer's
(10:26):
website and entering the address to make sure that you
will get cover. Twenty after five, Now Andrews in the
Sport Morning Andrew greetings, right, hey, what's going on? The cyclists?
Twenty of them? They could actually get in quite serious
trouble with the authorities in Belgium.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yes, at Sura of Flanders, which is won by today
k Pagati or France multiple champion, probably going to go
have another crack this year. But it's the small dilemma
that during the race, the what do you call the
warning signs came down on a railway line a train
coming through and some cyclist snuck through because the competitive instincts,
(11:05):
the juices are flowing. So yeah, there's gonna be some
questions asked apparently about this story from US day, but
it's going to be ongoing, so some continuing across the
railery line. They were told to slow down after the
submit to sort of let the peloton catch up to
some degree. But I was just intrigued. I thought, if
you're in that scenario, money on the line, there's a
(11:26):
red light, do your risk getting club at it, you
know whatever, the train's going at two hundred and fifty
ks an hour or something. If it's a fast service,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I think it's Canzene in Japan. Fancy that. I don't know.
You're on the road. You've got to obey the road rules. Yeah,
I would have, that's right. So they could find themselves
in a bit of trouble.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, Lawrence Petty does and he's yonder. He's not
in trouble apparently, So that's some good consolation from that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And finished strongly too. Okay, what about the first Kiwi
woman to win an NCAA basketball title in the state.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Charlie's leads you walk, So this is a tremendous achievement pioneering.
And speaking of pioneering, I mean Megan Campaign, who is
the only New Zealand woman as far as I'm where
to play in the WNBA the draft on April thirteen,
and Charlie'.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Said to Walker could follow suit.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Of course, she played originally for Washington State and then
moved over to UCLA, So she's been in the system
for some time, American college system, but has really done
an outstanding job there as part of that team. And
good luck to her. I mean, I think that's just
that's an amazing I love seeing pioneering, pioneering events from
New Zealanders overseas, and she's been part of one.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Very cool. Indeed, Hey, what about the Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Well which one? I mean the women going through to
the listening that they're going to miss the semi fire,
whether straight through I should say, to the semi finals
to play the extra game. That's a fine achievement from
BEF priestsman in that team, but of redemption for her,
but also the men now coming into the reckoning, they're
in seventh, what three wins from three and now after
(13:02):
Shincarlo Taliada moved on as as a coach. But now
they've moved into the reckoning for you know, they beginning
to the playoffs with those three games ago and still
a lot to go. But in that regard, Ryan, but yeah,
at least they'll have some opportunity there were haven't their
own hands.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
We haven't even talked about the Warriors yet. Who just
took looked like we're coming unstuck. It's happening, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
This is a classic Warriors season, is it. It doesn't
sound like Andrew Wiss was that that thrilled with how
they went so understandably.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Unsurprisingly, Andrew Willison was bought. Thanks Andrew twenty three minutes
after five, So you might be looking at the by
the way, in America, the job starter on Friday was
end of last week was actually quite strong, unexpectedly so.
And the markets this morning, well, markets are up on
Wall Street. But also what's happening with the price of oil?
(13:51):
So yo yoing as you would expect, But why is
the price of US oil trading higher than Brent the benchmark?
That's the question this morning. We're t this is higher
than Brent has been over the weekend. It's all about timing,
I'm told about the futures contracts. So West Texas Intermediate
delivers oil a month earlier. So therefore, at the moment
(14:12):
it is worth a bit more because you pay more
right now for oil that you can get sooner because
of a shortage than oil you will get later. This
is what happens when you're worried about supply. Twenty four
minutes after five News Talks EB the Early.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It By News Talks.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
IB twenty six after five on your Tuesday Morning. An
interesting article in the Herald yesterday about army training at Waoudu.
The troops now singing from the same song sheet. It
seems as Winston and Judith in terms of how threatening
the world is at the moment. Senior Army commanders quoted
as saying, the pressure on our defense force is greater
than at any time in recent living memory. And they're
(14:55):
betting billions. This is the government, billions of dollars and
extra funding for equipment, kits for houses on the base
that aren't covered in mold. But in order for any
of that to be useful, you need soldiers. You need personnel.
In order to get personnel, you need people who understand
the importance of the task at hand, and I just
don't think enough young people, people of mind generation and younger,
(15:18):
actually get it. Look no further than Germany, where they're
protesting over a requirement for men aged forty five and
younger to inform the government of their whereabouts if they
leave the country for three months or more. If they
go on an oe, you've got to tell the government
where you're going. It's similar to a rule they had
during the Cold War, and it is basically preparing for
(15:39):
a time when they may need a return to conscription
compulsory service. Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, to name a few,
already do this. The Korean pop band BTS you heard
them before. They've just celebrated the end of their military
service with a concert and soul But overwhelmingly in the West,
(15:59):
there is I don't know, there's a bit of ignorance,
would that be the word antipathy of the threats that
our leaders tell us we're facing, it's like we don't
quite believe that there are any How could you teach
the wellness generation, the influencer youths, the zoomers as they
call them, that in order to enjoy the comforts of
(16:19):
liberal democracy. Sometimes you might have to fight for them,
you might have to make sacrifices for them. We've not
been to war. We've not experienced war. We don't even
want serious criminals, the criminal youths going to boot camps,
let alone US. There's a general feeling, I think that
wars are fought in far away lands by somebody else,
(16:40):
when evidence is mounting that one of these wars might
one day soon be fought closer to home, and the
others might actually be US. Bryan Bridge Trump's talking at
the White House twenty eight after five. He's talking about
those two US Air Force members shot down over Iran
that were rescued. Have a listen.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We most powerful military anywhere in the world by far.
The flight crews and warfighters aboard those aircraft took extraordinary
risks to rescue their fellow service members. This first wave
of search and rescue forces successfully located the pilot of
the F fifteen, and he was extracted from enemy territory
by an HH sixty Jolly Green two helicopter. It's amazing
(17:23):
that when you look at the machinery, what happened, that
nobody was even injured.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, that's Trump for you. We will hit to Washington
for the lightest on the ceasefire plan that the reignings
have already apparently rejected. We'll hit to Washington shortly and
to Australia with Donnad Demayo News Talks ITP.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spunk for Business
Technology that keeps Business Moving News TALKSIP.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Twenty four away from six News Talks. There'd be one
hundred and fifty five aircraft US aircraft apparently involved in
this rescue of the USM and over Iran. Trump speaking
at the White House, Hegg said, speaking as we speak,
and we'll go to Washington, d C. For the latest
on that plus a ceasefire agreement that's already been shot down.
We'll head to Australia with Donad tomorrow in the next
couple of minutes. Also in thirty minutes. Inside the next
(18:25):
thirty minutes, I should say we humans will go farther
than any other human in history because of the Artemis
two mission, four hundred kilometers from Earth. That's how far
we got in the seventies. So we will go apparently
these four will go farther than that. Further than that,
I never know which one, and the comms will go
(18:46):
dark because and the reason for that is quite simple.
So it'll be out of contact with mission control for
forty minutes when they're on the far side of the moon,
because they have a deep space network to communicate with
the crew to in order for that to work, they've
got big Giant and tenas in California, in Spain and
actually in Australia as well, and they will not have
(19:07):
a direct line of sight because they're on the other
side of the moon, so they can't communicate for forty minutes,
which is apparently all a bit scary. What are they
actually going to do when they're on the far side,
the dark side of the moon. Apparently they'll take turns
at the window just having a look at the views.
They'll be able to make out definite chunks of the
far side that have never been seen by human eyes before.
(19:30):
We're told twenty two away from six Rainbridge, it's going
to Cullum and to need morning Colum Right now, what's
happening with the white Taki girls high in onmdu.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Well Sadly it's planning on closing its hostel just due
to the lack of borders there. They've got about four
hundred students for school, but just fifteen borders at the moment. Ryan,
that's the capacity there is for seventy five. So clearly
that's not feasible. And a letter the board says it's
provisionally decided to shut the hostel by year's end, citing
(20:03):
those falling numbers over the past five years, sustainability and costs.
A recent Education Review Office report found about a dozen
students on site.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
They said the hospital the hostel.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Was generally well run, with earlier compliance issues addressed. Why
Tucky Girls Highs now exploring future boarding options with nearby schools.
The possibility and consultation with them's underway. All right, how's
the weather A bit? I like rain about through the
day today here in the south mostly cloudy nor easterlyas
Dunedin's high seventeenth jeers callum clear in christ its morning.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Clear, good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So pumping air into these ponds that Bromley is going
to help?
Speaker 9 (20:40):
Apparently Apparently so city councilors have now opted to pump
more air or air ate the ponds at the Bromley
wastewater treatment plant. This will cut oden ninety five percent
of the time. In choosing that, counselors did formerly reject
me and Film Major's ocean discharge plan, which was a
pricier option, higher risk option, and would cut smells ninety
(21:01):
nine percent of the time. The community board member out there,
Jackie Simons, says locals are really pleased that wastewater won't
be sent offshore, but there is still a lot of
distrust towards the council about why this plan had to
take so long, just when you think things are being
you know, making progress here though. Environment Canterbury's now announced
its stepping up enforcement on the other side of town
(21:22):
in Hornby, in order to better respond to smell complaints
there that's attributed to an industrial site. They say if
conditions don't improve, stronger action, including a possible abatement notice,
could follow.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Clear I'm just shocked because why would you even consider
dumping specs in the ocean when you could just pump
air into the sewage plants in.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
The suit this simple plan, I know, And this is
the thing, This is what people have been saying the
whole time. But that's our mere Film.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Major it's bizarre. How's your weather mostly cloudy?
Speaker 9 (21:51):
There is some patchy drizzle about it. It should turn to
rain late this afternoon. Northeasterlies and hive eighteen.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
All right, thank you very much. Let's go to Wellington
now to be as Macinto with us, to be us
good morning, Good morning Ryan. A commercial life becoming harder
in Wellington, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Story on the post this morning. Wellington's shrinking role of
active companies becoming more evident. So a net one five
hundred and seventy eight companies have vanished from the capital
region between November twenty twenty three and February this year.
To put that into some perspective, every other region tracked
by stats n Z showed a net increase in active companies,
(22:27):
with more than one new company registered for everyone that
was shut down. Wellington MP Eishaviral says it's a flow
on from public service job losses trickling down into local businesses.
I mean you already talked about earlier, the significant fewer
graduate roles available. The data shows hospitality and bars most
at risk, followed by construction and engineering and retail.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, how's your weather there to best? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Mostly cloudy today, a bit of rain in some northeasterly
winds on the cards twenty one the high End, Wellington.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Nice one, Thank you Nivas and a morning neavor.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
We've got an update at midday about water restrictions for
central Auckland.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
That's right now. Look, watercre issued a boil water notice.
This was yesterday last night. Now the area is affected
Hillsborough Mount, Rosschool, Royal Oak and three Kinks. Why traces
of E. Coal I were discovered Now the agency says, look,
they did a routine sample, routine testing yesterday in that
show the presence of the bacteria. So not all the
(23:27):
streets are affected though, So that's the good news in
that area. But there is a map of the impected area.
You can check that out on Waterkere's website. But there's
also two public water tankers that've been set up for locals.
You know, if you can't boil your water now, these
tankers you'll find them right now, right now, I say,
at one hundred and thirteen Duke Street, Big King Reserve,
Hillsborough Park, car Park and Colton Street as well.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Brilliant neighbor, think you how's that weather?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Rain? Here?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Bey falls this morning Gale northeasterly is twenty one is
the high here at Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Enjoy your Tuesday, eighteen minutes away from six. Now, Grant says, line,
those jobs you talked about earlier, the graduate jobs in
Wellington are just rubbish, made up jobs at the expense
of the taxpayer. It's hard to disagree with you, Grant,
because did anyone notice that three hundred there are three
hundred fewer graduate jobs unless you are a graduate. Did
anyone notice the jobs were missing? And if you don't
(24:17):
notice the jobs were missing, then what was the point
of them in the first place. You would notice if
we had three hundred nurses missing, wouldn't you? Ryan, You're
on the right track. This is from D Morning d
Father is to a greater distance. Further is to a
greater extent. There we go to d'se tek tent literally
teaching me English on the radio this morning, seventeen minutes
away from six. We're to Australia.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Next international correspondence with ends and eye Insurance. Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Good morning, it is recorded to six. Great to have
your company. Let's go to Donnadmow and Australia. Donna, good morning,
Good morning to you. Yeah, we've got some more reassurance
from the government on fuel supplies across your way.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Well, as you can imagine, Australians are still very hyper focus,
let's say, on fuel supplies. What is happening. So Energy
Minister Chris Bowen has had to come out and yes
again reassure us that we do have fuel shipments on
the way to Australia and that they've been secured well
into May. Now up until that announcement, we've been told
(25:19):
fuel supplies you know, have been locked in until about
the end of April, so now it stretches into May.
So people are kind of breathing sigh relief, but you know,
not entirely of course, because we're still hearing that a
number of service stations you know, have run out of
diesel and petrol, although admittedly that number did fall over
the Easter weekend, so mister Bowen has also said that
(25:40):
is encouraging. So a latest data shows about two hundred
and seventy four survos across the country out of diesel, which,
as you can imagine, is you know, of serious concern.
But we've heard that fifty three ships carrying fuel are
on the way to Australia from refineries across Asia and
the US and MAO and just a few words from
(26:02):
the PM excuse me sorry, and that well, the PM
just says that Australia we need to know that the
coming months may not be easy. As he put it,
is that a bit of an understatement.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Absolutely, Donald, appreciate your update this morning. Thank you very much, Donald,
our Australia correspondent, Times thirteen minutes away from six. By
the way, one to watch this week is Victor Auburn.
This is Hungary's Prime minister. So he's going to the Poles.
And we mentioned this last week that the he's got
the poles that have come out the you know, basically
(26:37):
they've done a survey and if you are to believe
those poles, some of which are opposition poles, so you
should take them with a grain of salt. But he
is behind He is the guy that's like a populist
is Putin, they say, trying to cozy up to Putin,
trying to get more gas out of Putin and the
Russians doesn't really like the Ukrainian war that's going on.
(26:59):
He's kind of like a Trump, kind of like a populist,
and they reckon that he is staging this is the
opposition MPs a false flag operation because they found some
explosives near a pipeline that carries GUS gas rather into
Hungary from Russia. So they reckon he's trying to manipulate.
He's trying to create some drama where there is no
(27:19):
drama in order that he get reelected. So that's one
to watch for this week. Twelve minutes away from Sex
and it's go to Washington. So Iran's already said nat
to Trump, this is on his call to open the
effing straight. Wednesday, New Zealand time is the deadline. And
there was talk of a ceasefire, plans for a ceasefire
that Iran has already rejected. Of forty five days, Trump
(27:42):
and Higseeth, they've been speaking at a press conference of
the White House about the rescue of the us EM
and at the weekend, where.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
We're doing unbelievably well, well at a level that nobody's
ever seen before. The entire country can be taken out
in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
Are special operators, pilots and support crews formed with near
perfection under fire, and they were lethal. Just ask any
Iranian soldier who dared attempt to get anywhere near that
pilot or during that mission.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Kate Fisher Fature Store News in DC for US this morning. Kate,
Good to have you on the program. Sounds like quite
a well, a massive mission involving heaps of aircraft.
Speaker 13 (28:26):
Yeah, that's right, hundreds of them. Donald Trump clearly very
proud of his military, very impressed by this kind of undertaking,
and delighted that it all happened without any further casualty
on the US side. He says that twenty one aircraft
(28:46):
came to help rescue the airman who ejected when his
plane was struck down by the Iranians, and Donald Trump
described how he was bleeding profusely but still managed to
climb up into this ridge on the side of a
mountain until he could be found by Percy Boll the
CIA located him, and then to be found by the
US military to be rescued.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, absolutely fascinating. So what happens from here, You know,
Trump's obviously made ultimatums, but he's made these ultimatums before
in Iran, as clearly calling as bluff.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Absolutely, he's saying, he's reiterated, double down that this new
deadline that he put on social media over the weekend
of Tuesday at eight pm Eastern time here in Washington,
My master is not good enough to work out what
time that is for you, but that that's essentially tomorrow evening,
that he will be obliterating Iran if they do not
(29:41):
reopen the strait of hor moves. As you just mentioned,
Iran rejected a peace plan that was put forward by
these intermediaries Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, but it did submit
its own ten point plan to the Americans, and Donald
Trump said that this was a significant proposal, but he
said it wasn't good enough, so he acknowledged it was
a significant step. So it does sound as if there
(30:03):
is diplomacy going on in the background, but at the
same time, publicly the US certainly well from both sides,
the rhetoric is very aggressive. You've got Donald Trump and
his members. You know, we just have Pete Heggs has
just left the lectern at the White House. The head
of the CIA is also spoken, the General of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is all the top people
(30:26):
involved in this mission speaking at the White House kind
of in this lap of glory, lap of victory over
this rescue of an air and it doesn't sound like
kind of dialing down of the rhetoric or the violence,
but at the same time we understand diplomacy is happening.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Katy, appreciate your update. Katie Fisher, UIs correspondent for US
in DC. Time is nine minutes away from six, So yeah,
five weeks of war. We are now forty five days
this fireplan that's been rejicted. Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, they're all
involved in trying to get it across the line. Open
the effings straight. Well they've said f off. Basically eight
to six.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
Keeps Business Moving, News talks'bhus.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Talks HEDB six minutes away from six on your Tuesday morning.
Trump's tax breaks are starting to take effect in the US,
so people are actually starting to notice them, and this
is because they're filing their tax returns. I was reading
at the weekend about a woman named Ashley Norwood who
is in South Carolina. She's thirty seven. Her husband does
lots of overtime, she gets lots of tips, and the
tax breaks are basically targeted exactly at them, specifically at them.
(31:39):
And they were thinking, well, how much will we get
as a refund? Ten thousand dollars refund they got. They've
enough to go buy a big new mattress called a
Wyoming King. They've gone out there and paid down some debt.
Ten thousand dollars refund was more than enough to cover
their wish list of items they were hoping to get
from Trump's tax breaks and tax breaks. You have to say,
(32:00):
help you win elections, don't they Five to.
Speaker 14 (32:02):
Six Bread in the studio morning, Mike griefings, he's got
a very good job number over the weekend too, he did,
and economy continues to grow despite everybody's comment. Trip, you've
been watched this, have been watching Higgseth, He says. Say
whatever you want about Higgseth, but when it comes to
delivering a message, yes.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
He's brilliant. Yeah, but you believe crims a little bit
as well.
Speaker 14 (32:23):
Not if you're American. If you're watching that, i'd be going,
that's a guy delivering a message. I mean, if I
don't know, because you're on are you missed it? So anyway,
the guy gets shot down, he gets his transponder and
then this higg Seth telling the story. The guy gets
shot down then turns the transponder on. The first message
he sends is God is good. So you've just been
shot down in a rah. And not only did he
send the message God is good, he sent it on Friday,
(32:46):
Easter Friday.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's all very biblical.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
And then he hung out in the cave on Saturday.
And then we went and got him on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
With one hundred and fifty five aircraft and on Easter
Sunday we flew again as the sun rose over. But
does this not make you feel a little cream? Yeah?
Speaker 14 (33:03):
But you to the American that these are people buying
Wyoming mattresses exactly, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Exactly which was so big by the way, they had
to make their own base for it, did they? Because
you know, I've been looking at big beds that actually
here in New Zealand. Obviously, what's the biggest beach you
can get a California and King Otherwise you've got to
have it, have it custom made, right, you're looking for
a custom no, because it's very expensive to get a customers,
what's a California king with? It's oh, not much more
(33:27):
than about five You can give up five grand, can you?
But the thing is it's it's the same length. So
all of the beds in New Zealand it's all with,
it's all worth. So it's all good.
Speaker 14 (33:39):
Thanks thing.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You know you're in Awayoma.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
Well ideally you would be well, I guess so, and
well no you get ten grand, you'd be in a Texas.
I'd be in a Texas. Anyway, Nice to see you,
Prime Minister this morning. Do you want to cover off
the I mean, was that that reshuffle?
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Remember Thursday?
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I mean you remember Thursday and the reshufflers. Jesus, they
tried to make something of it. Anyway, he's will us
after seven thirty.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Nice one, Mike with the next Have a great day.
See Tomark.

early edition with Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving,
news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
They'd be good morning at A six a half to five.
Great to have your company coming up Washington will hit
their live. Trump's about to do a press conference cycling
in the railway crossing incident, Andrew in with sports where
he'd did Donner in Australia, and the graduate ghost jobs
that are disappearing in our capital.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
The agenda Tuesday the Senate of April.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Great to have your company. Trump's at the White House
for an annual Easter events with the wife and loads
of children. So what's on his Easter wish list?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I had my choice, what would I like to do?
Take the oil? Because it's there for the decade. There's
not a thing they can do about it. Unfortunately, the
American people would like to see us come home.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
If we're up to me, I'd take the oil.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I kept the oil.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I would make plenty of money, and I'd also take
care of the people of Iran much better than they've
been taken care of him.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Now, there's a forty five day ceasefire proposal that the
Americans put up Iran has already shot it down. Staying
in the US. The TV host Savannah Guthrie back on
the Today Show as the search for her mother continues.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Good morning, Welcome to Today on this Monday morning. We
are so glad you started your week with us, and
it is good to be home.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, it is good to have you back at home.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, here we go, ready or not, let's do the news.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So good to have you. She's been off since January.
That's when her eighty four year old mum was reported missing.
Still no sign of her, by the way. Finally, this morning,
a bit of a scandal in the UK. PEPSI is
pulling pin on sponsoring a concert in London. This is
because Kanye is involved Kanya last year, if you don't remember,
(01:44):
label day song hal Hitler and sold swastika T shirts.
He's blamed as bipolar disorder for all of this.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
I feel sympathy for his mental health challenges and for
his bipona disorder. But I think that the challenges we
saw this at BAFT as well, that doesn't mean you
should give people a stage to about what might be
really problematic things. The people who care about these artists
and should should be not giving them a problematic place
to those views.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Spark for business Technology that keeps business moving
News talks.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That'd be eight after five. Hope you had a lovely
long weekend, lovely Easter weekend. I was chatting to a friend.
Nothing to this friend, has nothing to do with the news,
nothing to do with politics, just a normal person, and
was chatting to her about what's been going on with Priser, petrol,
price of diesel, et cetera. And they said, it's actually
been nice having the weekend with not much going on,
(02:39):
you know, no news alerts or fewer news alerts going
out about the crisis. Seventeen days of diesel in the country,
even though there's a bunch more on the water that's inbound.
Let's not talk about that. Let's focus on the seventeen
days in the country. Still no hint by the way
of confirmation that we will actually have a shortage. I mean,
(02:59):
I know we can all look across to the straight
up horn moves and see what's going on, but there
is at this point, according to the government and industry,
no confirmation we will actually have a shortage of fuel
the crisis which the politicians and the media are calling
it is still there. But when it's not getting rammed
down your throat, you sort of forget it's there a
(03:19):
little bit, don't you. Did you forget over the weekend?
Was it that big of a deal for you? I mean, sure,
petrol is more expensive and you can't avoid that if
you have to make trips, But there are lots of
trips you don't have to make, and so you just
don't make them, or you walk. You know, do you
need to drive all the way to the beach, can
you walk? Do you need to drive to the supermarket
(03:40):
around the corner or can you walk? Diesel and transport
costa of course the big worry here, But what do
you actually do about it? Hit the panic button like
Albanzi did and cancel rucks. Not even the industry here
in New Zealand is asking for that at this point.
And there was an interesting bit in the post at
the weekend which showed daily traffic flow dark. We are
(04:01):
making more journeys now, more cars on the road in
the middle of this crisis than any march over the
last eight years. That's on the main routes. In other words,
we adjust to the price of fuel. In fact, we
drive more when it's more expensive. And I told my
friend this is probably not the right advice given my
line of work, but I told her to turn her
(04:22):
phone news notifications off because mostly they're not worth reading.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Bran Bridge ten.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Minutes after five nineteen nine two is the number to text,
Hey the ittemist two. This is fascinating. It's fascinating because
of what NASA wants to do. This is obviously step
one and a marathon that will be an end in
US colonizing the Moon, and they want to do eventually
by twenty thirty twenty thirty two. They want to do
(04:49):
one mission every six months to the Moon and set
up a base and colonize the place. But what's interesting
about today is they are going to do the flyby,
not stop obviously, but fly by, then swing around and
head back to planet Earth. It will be the furthest
at any the farthest that any astronaut has been, further
(05:10):
than anyone went in the nineteen seventies, which was about
eight forty seven kilometers beyond the Moon. So there you go.
There'll be a reck wold. Should be all things going well,
a record broken Today eleven minutes after five, we're back
and talking graduate jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Next, News and Views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for business
Technology that keeps business Moving.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Newstalk ZB five point thirteen on News Talks AB fascinating
what the Ukrainians are doing in Russia and I was
reading it at the weekend that their drones have knocked
out forty percent of the Russian's oil export capacity forty
percent and you consider the fact that they lean heavily
on gas and oil exports for revenue in Moscow. In fact,
(05:57):
a third Traditionally a third of the England's budget comes
from oil and gas exports. They have had to now
suspend or cancel all gasoline exports out of Russia because
they need to prioritize that supply for their own domestic purposes.
So incredible, after fifteen hundred days at war, the Ukrainians
(06:18):
are launching these drone attacks. They had an oil terminal
in the Black Sea at a port in the Black
Sea yesterday. Forty percent of the Russians capacity to export
oil has been dealt a deadly blow China. By the way,
in India, the ones who buy the oil normally off
the Russians. Fourteen after five Bryan Bridge fewer graduate jobs
in Wellington. This is in the public service. So the
(06:40):
numbers now just under two hundred jobs last year compared
to nearly five hundred and the year before that. Aiden Donohue, Victoria,
University of Wellington Students Association, Vice President with me this morning,
Aid and good morning, good morning. What jobs are we
talking about?
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Graduate jobs are we're talking about jobs that are offered
either directly after graduating or early in careers. Your first
three years sort of after leaving university.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And what typically type of degree would you have done
to get one of these jobs.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
It's a bit of a mixed bunch. So you have
commerce degrees, so your Treasury financial markets authority, but you
know other humanities degrees such as mb kind of Order
and Ministry of Ethnic Communities, all sorts of degrees to
get into the public service.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And these people are now because the public service doesn't
have the same number of jobs that they used to
perhaps under a labor government. Whatever they are going, we're doing.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
What well they're going ours? Right, That's that's the simple
fact about it. There's there's fuel work and there's more
pay to be asked for over there, so why not,
you know, move over?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Do we know? I guess the question is whether these
jobs were actually worth our time in the first place.
Has anyone notice that they're missing?
Speaker 7 (07:55):
I'd say, well, they are graduates themselves have noticed. But
the key thing about you know, public sector roles is
you go in as a bit of a generalist, so
even though you might start off in one place, you
find yourself all over the shop, you know, offering help
wherever it is needed.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Really, is there anything stopping these graduates from becoming frontline
police officers or teachers?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
No, really, other than sort of what you train for.
But teaching is a whole nother kettle of fish around
job availability after graduating as.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well as in there aren't jobs.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Yeah, as in it's hard. You've got to do you know,
unplaid placements to get in first, and then you've got
to do your time and again, same sort of draws
to move just odds to be a police or to
be a couple or teacher.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are they given the fact that there aren't as many
graduate jobs in Wellington? Are fewer people going into the
courses that would split them out? The other end to
take those jobs.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
We're not seeing that directly so far. We've seen a
lot of people maybe go in with the mindset that
they will just move anyway if it isn't the option
to stay within Willington.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Appreciate your time this morning, Aiden, Thank you Aiden Donahue,
who's views of vice president in Wellington. Seventeen minutes after five,
nine nine two is the number to text. We'll get
to Andrewi's Sport next.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spark for Business Technology
that keeps business moving NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
News TALKSB it is nineteen minutes after five. Just a
little warning if you're buying a property, especially if you're
buying a property in the New Nighporer City Council owned
residential development known as formerly known as Lagoon Farm, which
should be a warning to you. Twenty one hundred and
twenty hectare site. It's called Parkland's Estate. At the weekend
there was a story about a number of people trying
(09:44):
to buy properties there and you should always check the limb.
We know that, but you should also check insurance and
this would be home owner went it did exactly that
with Tower and there were eight checked, eight addresses in
this estate. It's a relatively new estate, and all eight
of them came back and Tower said, no, we won't
cover you because the risk of sea and undation. Now
(10:05):
it's two k's from the ocean, and the council had
checked the council records and checked the regional council records
and decided no, no, it's all fine, it's all good.
So clearly Tower is using different modeling. So I mean,
just from an individual point of view, I would definitely
be going before I'm buying any property onto each insurer's
(10:26):
website and entering the address to make sure that you
will get cover. Twenty after five, Now Andrews in the
Sport Morning Andrew greetings, right, hey, what's going on? The cyclists?
Twenty of them? They could actually get in quite serious
trouble with the authorities in Belgium.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yes, at Sura of Flanders, which is won by today
k Pagati or France multiple champion, probably going to go
have another crack this year. But it's the small dilemma
that during the race, the what do you call the
warning signs came down on a railway line a train
coming through and some cyclist snuck through because the competitive instincts,
(11:05):
the juices are flowing. So yeah, there's gonna be some
questions asked apparently about this story from US day, but
it's going to be ongoing, so some continuing across the
railery line. They were told to slow down after the
submit to sort of let the peloton catch up to
some degree. But I was just intrigued. I thought, if
you're in that scenario, money on the line, there's a
(11:26):
red light, do your risk getting club at it, you
know whatever, the train's going at two hundred and fifty
ks an hour or something. If it's a fast service,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I think it's Canzene in Japan. Fancy that. I don't know.
You're on the road. You've got to obey the road rules. Yeah,
I would have, that's right. So they could find themselves
in a bit of trouble.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, Lawrence Petty does and he's yonder. He's not
in trouble apparently, So that's some good consolation from that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And finished strongly too. Okay, what about the first Kiwi
woman to win an NCAA basketball title in the state.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Charlie's leads you walk, So this is a tremendous achievement pioneering.
And speaking of pioneering, I mean Megan Campaign, who is
the only New Zealand woman as far as I'm where
to play in the WNBA the draft on April thirteen,
and Charlie'.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Said to Walker could follow suit.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Of course, she played originally for Washington State and then
moved over to UCLA, So she's been in the system
for some time, American college system, but has really done
an outstanding job there as part of that team. And
good luck to her. I mean, I think that's just
that's an amazing I love seeing pioneering, pioneering events from
New Zealanders overseas, and she's been part of one.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Very cool. Indeed, Hey, what about the Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Well which one? I mean the women going through to
the listening that they're going to miss the semi fire,
whether straight through I should say, to the semi finals
to play the extra game. That's a fine achievement from
BEF priestsman in that team, but of redemption for her,
but also the men now coming into the reckoning, they're
in seventh, what three wins from three and now after
(13:02):
Shincarlo Taliada moved on as as a coach. But now
they've moved into the reckoning for you know, they beginning
to the playoffs with those three games ago and still
a lot to go. But in that regard, Ryan, but yeah,
at least they'll have some opportunity there were haven't their
own hands.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
We haven't even talked about the Warriors yet. Who just
took looked like we're coming unstuck. It's happening, Andrew.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
This is a classic Warriors season, is it. It doesn't
sound like Andrew Wiss was that that thrilled with how
they went so understandably.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Unsurprisingly, Andrew Willison was bought. Thanks Andrew twenty three minutes
after five, So you might be looking at the by
the way, in America, the job starter on Friday was
end of last week was actually quite strong, unexpectedly so.
And the markets this morning, well, markets are up on
Wall Street. But also what's happening with the price of oil?
(13:51):
So yo yoing as you would expect, But why is
the price of US oil trading higher than Brent the benchmark?
That's the question this morning. We're t this is higher
than Brent has been over the weekend. It's all about timing,
I'm told about the futures contracts. So West Texas Intermediate
delivers oil a month earlier. So therefore, at the moment
(14:12):
it is worth a bit more because you pay more
right now for oil that you can get sooner because
of a shortage than oil you will get later. This
is what happens when you're worried about supply. Twenty four
minutes after five News Talks EB the Early.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It By News Talks.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
IB twenty six after five on your Tuesday Morning. An
interesting article in the Herald yesterday about army training at Waoudu.
The troops now singing from the same song sheet. It
seems as Winston and Judith in terms of how threatening
the world is at the moment. Senior Army commanders quoted
as saying, the pressure on our defense force is greater
than at any time in recent living memory. And they're
(14:55):
betting billions. This is the government, billions of dollars and
extra funding for equipment, kits for houses on the base
that aren't covered in mold. But in order for any
of that to be useful, you need soldiers. You need personnel.
In order to get personnel, you need people who understand
the importance of the task at hand, and I just
don't think enough young people, people of mind generation and younger,
(15:18):
actually get it. Look no further than Germany, where they're
protesting over a requirement for men aged forty five and
younger to inform the government of their whereabouts if they
leave the country for three months or more. If they
go on an oe, you've got to tell the government
where you're going. It's similar to a rule they had
during the Cold War, and it is basically preparing for
(15:39):
a time when they may need a return to conscription
compulsory service. Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, to name a few,
already do this. The Korean pop band BTS you heard
them before. They've just celebrated the end of their military
service with a concert and soul But overwhelmingly in the West,
(15:59):
there is I don't know, there's a bit of ignorance,
would that be the word antipathy of the threats that
our leaders tell us we're facing, it's like we don't
quite believe that there are any How could you teach
the wellness generation, the influencer youths, the zoomers as they
call them, that in order to enjoy the comforts of
(16:19):
liberal democracy. Sometimes you might have to fight for them,
you might have to make sacrifices for them. We've not
been to war. We've not experienced war. We don't even
want serious criminals, the criminal youths going to boot camps,
let alone US. There's a general feeling, I think that
wars are fought in far away lands by somebody else,
(16:40):
when evidence is mounting that one of these wars might
one day soon be fought closer to home, and the
others might actually be US. Bryan Bridge Trump's talking at
the White House twenty eight after five. He's talking about
those two US Air Force members shot down over Iran
that were rescued. Have a listen.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
We most powerful military anywhere in the world by far.
The flight crews and warfighters aboard those aircraft took extraordinary
risks to rescue their fellow service members. This first wave
of search and rescue forces successfully located the pilot of
the F fifteen, and he was extracted from enemy territory
by an HH sixty Jolly Green two helicopter. It's amazing
(17:23):
that when you look at the machinery, what happened, that
nobody was even injured.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Right, that's Trump for you. We will hit to Washington
for the lightest on the ceasefire plan that the reignings
have already apparently rejected. We'll hit to Washington shortly and
to Australia with Donnad Demayo News Talks ITP.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spunk for Business
Technology that keeps Business Moving News TALKSIP.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Twenty four away from six News Talks. There'd be one
hundred and fifty five aircraft US aircraft apparently involved in
this rescue of the USM and over Iran. Trump speaking
at the White House, Hegg said, speaking as we speak,
and we'll go to Washington, d C. For the latest
on that plus a ceasefire agreement that's already been shot down.
We'll head to Australia with Donad tomorrow in the next
couple of minutes. Also in thirty minutes. Inside the next
(18:25):
thirty minutes, I should say we humans will go farther
than any other human in history because of the Artemis
two mission, four hundred kilometers from Earth. That's how far
we got in the seventies. So we will go apparently
these four will go farther than that. Further than that,
I never know which one, and the comms will go
(18:46):
dark because and the reason for that is quite simple.
So it'll be out of contact with mission control for
forty minutes when they're on the far side of the moon,
because they have a deep space network to communicate with
the crew to in order for that to work, they've
got big Giant and tenas in California, in Spain and
actually in Australia as well, and they will not have
(19:07):
a direct line of sight because they're on the other
side of the moon, so they can't communicate for forty minutes,
which is apparently all a bit scary. What are they
actually going to do when they're on the far side,
the dark side of the moon. Apparently they'll take turns
at the window just having a look at the views.
They'll be able to make out definite chunks of the
far side that have never been seen by human eyes before.
(19:30):
We're told twenty two away from six Rainbridge, it's going
to Cullum and to need morning Colum Right now, what's
happening with the white Taki girls high in onmdu.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
Well Sadly it's planning on closing its hostel just due
to the lack of borders there. They've got about four
hundred students for school, but just fifteen borders at the moment. Ryan,
that's the capacity there is for seventy five. So clearly
that's not feasible. And a letter the board says it's
provisionally decided to shut the hostel by year's end, citing
(20:03):
those falling numbers over the past five years, sustainability and costs.
A recent Education Review Office report found about a dozen
students on site.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
They said the hospital the hostel.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
Was generally well run, with earlier compliance issues addressed. Why
Tucky Girls Highs now exploring future boarding options with nearby schools.
The possibility and consultation with them's underway. All right, how's
the weather A bit? I like rain about through the
day today here in the south mostly cloudy nor easterlyas
Dunedin's high seventeenth jeers callum clear in christ its morning.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Clear, good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So pumping air into these ponds that Bromley is going
to help?
Speaker 9 (20:40):
Apparently Apparently so city councilors have now opted to pump
more air or air ate the ponds at the Bromley
wastewater treatment plant. This will cut oden ninety five percent
of the time. In choosing that, counselors did formerly reject
me and Film Major's ocean discharge plan, which was a
pricier option, higher risk option, and would cut smells ninety
(21:01):
nine percent of the time. The community board member out there,
Jackie Simons, says locals are really pleased that wastewater won't
be sent offshore, but there is still a lot of
distrust towards the council about why this plan had to
take so long, just when you think things are being
you know, making progress here though. Environment Canterbury's now announced
its stepping up enforcement on the other side of town
(21:22):
in Hornby, in order to better respond to smell complaints
there that's attributed to an industrial site. They say if
conditions don't improve, stronger action, including a possible abatement notice,
could follow.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Clear I'm just shocked because why would you even consider
dumping specs in the ocean when you could just pump
air into the sewage plants in.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
The suit this simple plan, I know, And this is
the thing, This is what people have been saying the
whole time. But that's our mere Film.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Major it's bizarre. How's your weather mostly cloudy?
Speaker 9 (21:51):
There is some patchy drizzle about it. It should turn to
rain late this afternoon. Northeasterlies and hive eighteen.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
All right, thank you very much. Let's go to Wellington
now to be as Macinto with us, to be us
good morning, Good morning Ryan. A commercial life becoming harder
in Wellington, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Story on the post this morning. Wellington's shrinking role of
active companies becoming more evident. So a net one five
hundred and seventy eight companies have vanished from the capital
region between November twenty twenty three and February this year.
To put that into some perspective, every other region tracked
by stats n Z showed a net increase in active companies,
(22:27):
with more than one new company registered for everyone that
was shut down. Wellington MP Eishaviral says it's a flow
on from public service job losses trickling down into local businesses.
I mean you already talked about earlier, the significant fewer
graduate roles available. The data shows hospitality and bars most
at risk, followed by construction and engineering and retail.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, how's your weather there to best? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Mostly cloudy today, a bit of rain in some northeasterly
winds on the cards twenty one the high End, Wellington.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Nice one, Thank you Nivas and a morning neavor.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
We've got an update at midday about water restrictions for
central Auckland.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
That's right now. Look, watercre issued a boil water notice.
This was yesterday last night. Now the area is affected
Hillsborough Mount, Rosschool, Royal Oak and three Kinks. Why traces
of E. Coal I were discovered Now the agency says, look,
they did a routine sample, routine testing yesterday in that
show the presence of the bacteria. So not all the
(23:27):
streets are affected though, So that's the good news in
that area. But there is a map of the impected area.
You can check that out on Waterkere's website. But there's
also two public water tankers that've been set up for locals.
You know, if you can't boil your water now, these
tankers you'll find them right now, right now, I say,
at one hundred and thirteen Duke Street, Big King Reserve,
Hillsborough Park, car Park and Colton Street as well.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Brilliant neighbor, think you how's that weather?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Rain? Here?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Bey falls this morning Gale northeasterly is twenty one is
the high here at Auckland.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Enjoy your Tuesday, eighteen minutes away from six. Now, Grant says, line,
those jobs you talked about earlier, the graduate jobs in
Wellington are just rubbish, made up jobs at the expense
of the taxpayer. It's hard to disagree with you, Grant,
because did anyone notice that three hundred there are three
hundred fewer graduate jobs unless you are a graduate. Did
anyone notice the jobs were missing? And if you don't
(24:17):
notice the jobs were missing, then what was the point
of them in the first place. You would notice if
we had three hundred nurses missing, wouldn't you? Ryan, You're
on the right track. This is from D Morning d
Father is to a greater distance. Further is to a
greater extent. There we go to d'se tek tent literally
teaching me English on the radio this morning, seventeen minutes
away from six. We're to Australia.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Next international correspondence with ends and eye Insurance. Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Good morning, it is recorded to six. Great to have
your company. Let's go to Donnadmow and Australia. Donna, good morning,
Good morning to you. Yeah, we've got some more reassurance
from the government on fuel supplies across your way.
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Well, as you can imagine, Australians are still very hyper focus,
let's say, on fuel supplies. What is happening. So Energy
Minister Chris Bowen has had to come out and yes
again reassure us that we do have fuel shipments on
the way to Australia and that they've been secured well
into May. Now up until that announcement, we've been told
(25:19):
fuel supplies you know, have been locked in until about
the end of April, so now it stretches into May.
So people are kind of breathing sigh relief, but you know,
not entirely of course, because we're still hearing that a
number of service stations you know, have run out of
diesel and petrol, although admittedly that number did fall over
the Easter weekend, so mister Bowen has also said that
(25:40):
is encouraging. So a latest data shows about two hundred
and seventy four survos across the country out of diesel, which,
as you can imagine, is you know, of serious concern.
But we've heard that fifty three ships carrying fuel are
on the way to Australia from refineries across Asia and
the US and MAO and just a few words from
(26:02):
the PM excuse me sorry, and that well, the PM
just says that Australia we need to know that the
coming months may not be easy. As he put it,
is that a bit of an understatement.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Absolutely, Donald, appreciate your update this morning. Thank you very much, Donald,
our Australia correspondent, Times thirteen minutes away from six. By
the way, one to watch this week is Victor Auburn.
This is Hungary's Prime minister. So he's going to the Poles.
And we mentioned this last week that the he's got
the poles that have come out the you know, basically
(26:37):
they've done a survey and if you are to believe
those poles, some of which are opposition poles, so you
should take them with a grain of salt. But he
is behind He is the guy that's like a populist
is Putin, they say, trying to cozy up to Putin,
trying to get more gas out of Putin and the
Russians doesn't really like the Ukrainian war that's going on.
(26:59):
He's kind of like a Trump, kind of like a populist,
and they reckon that he is staging this is the
opposition MPs a false flag operation because they found some
explosives near a pipeline that carries GUS gas rather into
Hungary from Russia. So they reckon he's trying to manipulate.
He's trying to create some drama where there is no
(27:19):
drama in order that he get reelected. So that's one
to watch for this week. Twelve minutes away from Sex
and it's go to Washington. So Iran's already said nat
to Trump, this is on his call to open the
effing straight. Wednesday, New Zealand time is the deadline. And
there was talk of a ceasefire, plans for a ceasefire
that Iran has already rejected. Of forty five days, Trump
(27:42):
and Higseeth, they've been speaking at a press conference of
the White House about the rescue of the us EM
and at the weekend, where.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
We're doing unbelievably well, well at a level that nobody's
ever seen before. The entire country can be taken out
in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
Are special operators, pilots and support crews formed with near
perfection under fire, and they were lethal. Just ask any
Iranian soldier who dared attempt to get anywhere near that
pilot or during that mission.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Kate Fisher Fature Store News in DC for US this morning. Kate,
Good to have you on the program. Sounds like quite
a well, a massive mission involving heaps of aircraft.
Speaker 13 (28:26):
Yeah, that's right, hundreds of them. Donald Trump clearly very
proud of his military, very impressed by this kind of undertaking,
and delighted that it all happened without any further casualty
on the US side. He says that twenty one aircraft
(28:46):
came to help rescue the airman who ejected when his
plane was struck down by the Iranians, and Donald Trump
described how he was bleeding profusely but still managed to
climb up into this ridge on the side of a
mountain until he could be found by Percy Boll the
CIA located him, and then to be found by the
US military to be rescued.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, absolutely fascinating. So what happens from here, You know,
Trump's obviously made ultimatums, but he's made these ultimatums before
in Iran, as clearly calling as bluff.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Absolutely, he's saying, he's reiterated, double down that this new
deadline that he put on social media over the weekend
of Tuesday at eight pm Eastern time here in Washington,
My master is not good enough to work out what
time that is for you, but that that's essentially tomorrow evening,
that he will be obliterating Iran if they do not
(29:41):
reopen the strait of hor moves. As you just mentioned,
Iran rejected a peace plan that was put forward by
these intermediaries Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, but it did submit
its own ten point plan to the Americans, and Donald
Trump said that this was a significant proposal, but he
said it wasn't good enough, so he acknowledged it was
a significant step. So it does sound as if there
(30:03):
is diplomacy going on in the background, but at the
same time, publicly the US certainly well from both sides,
the rhetoric is very aggressive. You've got Donald Trump and
his members. You know, we just have Pete Heggs has
just left the lectern at the White House. The head
of the CIA is also spoken, the General of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. This is all the top people
(30:26):
involved in this mission speaking at the White House kind
of in this lap of glory, lap of victory over
this rescue of an air and it doesn't sound like
kind of dialing down of the rhetoric or the violence,
but at the same time we understand diplomacy is happening.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Katy, appreciate your update. Katie Fisher, UIs correspondent for US
in DC. Time is nine minutes away from six, So yeah,
five weeks of war. We are now forty five days
this fireplan that's been rejicted. Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, they're all
involved in trying to get it across the line. Open
the effings straight. Well they've said f off. Basically eight
to six.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business Technology that
Keeps Business Moving, News talks'bhus.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Talks HEDB six minutes away from six on your Tuesday morning.
Trump's tax breaks are starting to take effect in the US,
so people are actually starting to notice them, and this
is because they're filing their tax returns. I was reading
at the weekend about a woman named Ashley Norwood who
is in South Carolina. She's thirty seven. Her husband does
lots of overtime, she gets lots of tips, and the
tax breaks are basically targeted exactly at them, specifically at them.
(31:39):
And they were thinking, well, how much will we get
as a refund? Ten thousand dollars refund they got. They've
enough to go buy a big new mattress called a
Wyoming King. They've gone out there and paid down some debt.
Ten thousand dollars refund was more than enough to cover
their wish list of items they were hoping to get
from Trump's tax breaks and tax breaks. You have to say,
(32:00):
help you win elections, don't they Five to.
Speaker 14 (32:02):
Six Bread in the studio morning, Mike griefings, he's got
a very good job number over the weekend too, he did,
and economy continues to grow despite everybody's comment. Trip, you've
been watched this, have been watching Higgseth, He says. Say
whatever you want about Higgseth, but when it comes to
delivering a message, yes.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
He's brilliant. Yeah, but you believe crims a little bit
as well.
Speaker 14 (32:23):
Not if you're American. If you're watching that, i'd be going,
that's a guy delivering a message. I mean, if I
don't know, because you're on are you missed it? So anyway,
the guy gets shot down, he gets his transponder and
then this higg Seth telling the story. The guy gets
shot down then turns the transponder on. The first message
he sends is God is good. So you've just been
shot down in a rah. And not only did he
send the message God is good, he sent it on Friday,
(32:46):
Easter Friday.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's all very biblical.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
And then he hung out in the cave on Saturday.
And then we went and got him on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
With one hundred and fifty five aircraft and on Easter
Sunday we flew again as the sun rose over. But
does this not make you feel a little cream? Yeah?
Speaker 14 (33:03):
But you to the American that these are people buying
Wyoming mattresses exactly, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Exactly which was so big by the way, they had
to make their own base for it, did they? Because
you know, I've been looking at big beds that actually
here in New Zealand. Obviously, what's the biggest beach you
can get a California and King Otherwise you've got to
have it, have it custom made, right, you're looking for
a custom no, because it's very expensive to get a customers,
what's a California king with? It's oh, not much more
(33:27):
than about five You can give up five grand, can you?
But the thing is it's it's the same length. So
all of the beds in New Zealand it's all with,
it's all worth. So it's all good.
Speaker 14 (33:39):
Thanks thing.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You know you're in Awayoma.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
Well ideally you would be well, I guess so, and
well no you get ten grand, you'd be in a Texas.
I'd be in a Texas. Anyway, Nice to see you,
Prime Minister this morning. Do you want to cover off
the I mean, was that that reshuffle?
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Remember Thursday?
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I mean you remember Thursday and the reshufflers. Jesus, they
tried to make something of it. Anyway, he's will us
after seven thirty.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Nice one, Mike with the next Have a great day.
See Tomark.
