The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with ex pole insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and dry.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
This winter news talk, sa'd be good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It is Monday, short week this week six minutes after five.
Now the cops with body cameras. How much is it
going to cost us? Because it looks like we're going
to do it? And is it worth the price? The
missiles are still flying in the Middle East. A Trump
is tweeting as well. Gavin Gray are UK europe correspondent
with us before six o'clock now Sport. Andrew Alison is
here because we have the big game this weekend, the
(00:34):
Crusaders and the Chiefs. Of course we also Havealy and
Lawson sort of disappointing again. Fox is still in with
the Gulf. The Prime Minister's trip to China. We'll talk
about that. Tartanaki is disappointing us economically. Why and we've
got snails in the fridge costing US four hundred thousand dollars?
Do we turn it off?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The agenda Monday to sixteenth of June.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
More Iranian missiles snuck through the Iron Dome over nineten
did the ANITYA who says there's civilians and that Iran
will pay a quote very heavy price.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
We are defending ourselves. This defense is entirely legitimate. We
are defending with strength and resolve, and our response is a.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Reaction to aggression.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Therefore, if the aggression stops, naturally, our responses will also cease.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Trump wants a deal.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
What President Trump said is that he still wants them
to come to the table.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
He said if they don't, quote, it will be too
late for them.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The suspect in America's political assassinations at the weekend still
on the run.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
This was an act of targeted political violence.
Speaker 8 (01:40):
Peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
We not set at our differences with violence or at gunpoint.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Now it was apparently coincidence, but Trump also had his
seventy ninth birthday on the same day as the military parade.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Every other country celebrates their victories, It's about time America
did too.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
This was the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
US Army. At the same time, thousands of Americans joined
the no King's protest. Happy Birthday.
Speaker 10 (02:10):
But he's not a king, and he's acting like one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I just wanted to be counted as someone who's really
unhappy with everything that's going on, and that you know,
I want to see your process.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well, they wren at the parade, were they? It is
eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and dry.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
This winter news talks at me.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
So I spent a bit of time at the weekend,
as you do, just because the weather was bad, watching
the military parade, and this is the American one was Honestly,
it looked like a bunch of scruffy guys. None of
the shirts were tucked in, some of the laces were
undone on the boots, and it looked like they were
just walking into the mall. You know, no one's dressed
(03:04):
up nicely they're in. I think part of the problem.
They were in their actual combat uniforms rather than anything ceremonial,
but just wandering in whether it was bad, couldn't see
the planes. Kind of disappointing and contrasts that with something
you'd get out of Pyongyang with synchronized goose stepping that
(03:28):
sound every time that beat hits, all of those boots
are hitting the ground at the exact same second, and
if anyone's even a millisecond out of time, then they shot.
So that's why they're so good. I doesn't actually tell
you much about how good of them of a fighters
they are, does it. But it's just an interesting thing
(03:50):
to watch. Well, it actually wasn't so much on the
weekend as the point. Now, our day three of this conflict,
Israel attacking Iran's This is overnight Israel attacking Around's energy industry.
They've gone for the defense ministry and Iran is hitting
a refinery just outside of Tel Aviv. They've also gone
to high rise apartment blocks south of Tel Aviv, which
(04:11):
is where the civilian deaths at Ntinya who's talking about
have come from. Now, Trump posts, if we are attacked
in any way, shape or formed by Iran, the full
strength and might of the US armed forces will come
down on you at levels never seen before. Israeli cours
wants to get the United States involved, because you know,
they tried to hit a whole bunch of nuclear sites,
(04:32):
uranium enrichment sites inside Iran, and the Uranians are not stupid.
They've put them underground. In some cases, they've put them
in valleys. Underground, so they're even harder to get at
basically in caves. But there's one particular enrichment uranium site
that they would love the Americans help with. It's the
four dol uranium enrichment plant which is very deep under
(04:52):
a mountain and only the Yanks weapons could get at it.
And so the Israel would very much like America to
get in because that's what they would like them to
take out. Eleven minutes alfter five, we'll look at that.
Just before six o'clock, we were about quarter two with
Gavin Gray coming up next. Though Trump sorry Luxen not
to be confused, is off to China this week, So
(05:14):
what exactly are we expecting from that meeting. It's next
here on News Talk sebb.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Ryan Bridge on earlier issue with text Pole insulation, keeping
Kiwi homes warm and try this winter Used Talks EDB
five fourteen.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
On News Talks, heb Tartanaki is going backwards. This is
the quarterly economic report from Infometrics report reprepared rather for
Venture Tartanaki, and it shows them in the last quarter
going backwards three point one percent. That's despite a drop
of one point one percent nationwide. According to infometrics. Employment
(05:49):
numbers down one point eight percent, consumer spending down one
point nine percent. Even though they had a thirty one
percent increase in dairy payouts to one point eight billion dollars,
still went backwards and you start asking why, why would
Taranaki be going backwards? They are a self sufficient powerhouse.
They're an absolute workhorse this region, at least they have been.
(06:12):
Why are they going backwards even when they're getting a
MASSI dairy payout. And the answer, of course is gas. Obviously,
you've got your normal consumer spending fluctuations that you have
anywhere in the country at the moment. But if you
look and this is even venture Tartanaki says this, we're
at the pointy end of the accelerated decline in gas
production and that's flying through to many of our industry sectors,
(06:35):
particularly engineering and specialist supply chains, adding a further dimension
to our economic situation. Where is the just transition that
Tartanaki was promised? Remember that from the last government, Remember
all the visits from the ministers. Don't worry, we'll look
after you. We've got a plan. Well, where's the plan?
At quarter past five, Brian Prime Minister heading Prime Minister
(06:57):
heading to China this week, where he'll be meeting with
presidents using Ping Beijing. Ahead of the visit, the government
tweaked visa settings to allow Chinese travelers in with a
current visa who come from Australia. So in other words,
the Australians do the checks and we piggyback off them.
Alistair Crozy is executive director of the New Zealand China Council.
With me this morning, alist the good morning, Good morning Ryan.
We'll try to take notice of that tweak, because it
(07:20):
is a tweak. We're not letting them in wholesale without
a visa.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
Sure, we'll look overnight the evidences that they already have.
Since the announcement was made, search for New Zealand travel
on some of the big platforms like Sea trip has
increased markedly.
Speaker 11 (07:37):
So yes, these.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Things although they as you say, it's not removing visas
altogether by any means, it's certainly a splash and it
will get a lot of attention this week.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
That's good news. What about the because the argument, while
we don't just allow them and carte blanche on visa
free is because of the number of refugees. Do you
know what the situation is, what the outcome might be
if we did it.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
I won't go into that on visa settings. I mean,
every country's got to balance their security settings with rolling
out the maps of tourists and visitors.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Not the China.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
We do that for many countries and many countries do
that for.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Us as well. So the main thing for this week
is that it's a positive step in the right direction
towards hopefully recovering some of those Chinese tourist numbers from
before COVID.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Good pr exercise for us to be up in China
at the moment. What about some of the tensions that
we've had. I mean, obviously this is going to be
a leader to leader, a bilateral meeting between the two.
Some of the live firing drills. You know, we had
our navy frigates in the straight Taiwan straight last year.
I mean, all of those things will come up.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Sure, And from that perspective, you know, it's nothing beats
a face to face, is it like this? It's a
chance they're our prime minister to meet not just President
Shei but also Premier Le Chang, and look, both sides
freely admit that there are going to be differences between
two countries like New Zealand and China. This provides an
(09:17):
opportunity to discuss them face to face, and I think
the key thing is that both sides will remain diplomatic
and respectful and hopefully clear the year on some of
those issues.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Where are some of the areas of opportunity, economic opportunity
that you think we should be tackling.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Well, look there's still opportunities in China across the board.
I mean the Prime Minister is taking a business delegation
of almost thirty people. They're focused on everything from you know,
your primary produce exports to your middle class consumers, not
just in the big cities now, but in those what
they call second and third tier cities. They're coming up
(09:58):
fast in terms of spending power, but also taking a
strong delegation representing our education sector and also our tourism
sector as we've.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Been discussing and a Listir appreciate your time this morning,
thanks to your comments. Alistair Crozier, the executive Director the
New Zealand China Council Luxon leaves tomorrow. It is eighteen
after five News Talks ZBB Sport with Andrew Ordison.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Next the news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl
installation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
This winter News Talks EDB five.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
To any One News Talks heb Fee the club World
Cup Rugby, Sorry, World Cup soccer is on Auckland City
taking on buying Munich. This is happening this morning.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
It is Ryan and it's not happening well for Aukland City.
But this is somewhat understandable. They're an amateur side effectively,
and they're ranked well the world rankings op to power Stats.
I think it's called Song of that Nature, ranked four
nine hundred and forty two places below Bayern Munich one
of the world powerhouses of football, so.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
Six Niel down.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
Just it wasn't half time, I think still is that
fifty seven minutes gone now between those two.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So it could be worse then, couldn't it. Ranking We've
got like plumbers.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Like your your optimism this morning, that's the way it
started Monday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
We've got like plumbers and trade's and all sorts.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Of that's right, that's right. I think barbera and insurance
broke or something like that.
Speaker 12 (11:23):
Anyway, they've they're struggling somewhat understandably against the best players
in the world now highest some of the highest players
paid players in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm sure they're having fun though, absolutely wouldn't you. And
now the Crusaders beat the Blues, the chief beat the
Chiefs beat the Brumbies and I was just thinking that
the Chiefs. So we've got a Chiefs Crusader's Final, which
is great down in christ Church. But if it wasn't
for the change to the competition, the Chiefs wouldn't even
be there.
Speaker 12 (11:49):
I think they'd be gone from the last year, says
I think that's that's a credit to how they've adjusted
that though. I think if you were in top place
over the course of a round robin season, you deserve
some degree of safety need or some degree of advantage
to that. And they've lost the advantage of having a
home final, but they've gained of course to beat the
Brumbies in the semi finals. That I guess you call
(12:11):
like almost like a ripper chage or something of that nature.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've now actually ended up with the two probably best
teams in the final.
Speaker 12 (12:19):
Yeah, I would have thought so much on the line
for so many reasons but yeah, it deserves to be
in christ which is a result of that.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Absolutely, it was a cracker.
Speaker 12 (12:28):
I mean Crusaders that I was thinking that game, just
the patience they displayed with the blues hot on a
tack towards the end there it was all on the line.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And what exciting game this weekend? And can can the
Chiefs actually finally pop that?
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You know, how's Ryan Fox going final round the US?
Speaker 12 (12:48):
So well, it's going to be the most on this
ogre of a golf course at Oakmont just seems to
be rough everywhere there and in so many players, so
many great players in the field have struggled. Fox two
under through eleven. He was three under at one stage
I think through seven holes. But he's moved up the
leaderboard this morning, so I think he started in maybe
(13:08):
fortyeth something like that, or this year of fortieth. He's
gone up to twenty fifth as of last report, but
the leaders yet to ge underway. They're geting underway at
quarter past six. But that shift provides him entertainment this morning.
I mean that rough, Yeah, it's for the most part,
seeing about about five inches thick just on the apron
to the greens et cetera.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
It's been brutal Ryan.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I saw it was that Ruory mclroy who had a
bit of a wobble.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Yeah, there's been a few wobbles.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Hey. Interesting we're talking about Ryan Fox and we don't
mention Liam Lawson anymore. Someone says, Someone says, Ryan, when
are we going to stop hearing about Liam Lawson on
the sports news. He's clearly not good enough, finishes down
the track constantly and seems to have issues with his car.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
All he'll get his due, He'll get his you know,
get a line on as result. If if he gets
up unto the top ten, gets some points, well it'll
go for the But I think, yeah, the honeymoon's over.
Really But but the thing is he's already I mean,
it's just to make Formula one.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's an extraordinary achievement.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
He's he's got to be just given his Junie hour
as to you know, on merits say trade.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Ryan Fox, on the other hand, writes headlines himself. Doesn't
he he does, he does, He's and every bit of
it absolutely Andrew, thank you, good to see you. Cheers right,
Andrew Ortison was sport of course, he'll have another update
for US just after five point thirty here on news
Talks B. The number to text nine to nine to
two will get to our UK Europe correspondent Gavin Gray
and our reporters after News the Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks B.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Five twenty seven. News Talks said be the Prime Minister
is jetting off on a diplomatic mission this week, heading
into a decidedly undiplomatic world Israel and Irana Hammer and
Tong's Netanya, who says Tehran is close to producing a
nuclear weapon. As the missiles and the drones fly across
the Middle East, talks of a nuclear deal and Oman
(14:57):
are on hold. The UK's mobilized fighter jets in the
region as Iran warns it'll strike the Western targets if
they dare to support Tel Aviv. Israel's blockade of Gaza continues.
That's despite protests from this country and most others through
the UN and sanctions talks in Turkey to when the
war in Ukraine haven't stopped. The violence. Diplomacy has so
(15:21):
far failed. China continues buying all from Russia and tacitly
keeping its war in Europe alive. The US continues supporting Israel,
keeping its wars in Gaza and on Iran alive. China
and the US themselves are doing direct battle of a
different kind on trade. We've got politically motivated assassinations in America,
(15:42):
Marines and National Guard troops on the streets of Los Angeles.
All this as the global economy splutters along under the
weight of it all. And I haven't even mentioned Pakistan
and India. Thank god they sorted their stuff out a
couple of weeks ago. As lux And prepares to meet
with Shujinping and then attend a NATO leaders meeting in
the Netherlands, the big question is not what to do,
(16:04):
but where to start. New Zealand's influence in all of
this is, of course limited. Most of these conflicts date
back further than the birth of our nation. We rely
on the United Nations, whose P five veto power renders
it about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike,
utterly useless. This is not the first time the world
(16:27):
has faced a collision of crises involving wars backed by
competing global superpowers. While diplomacy has failed to prevent them
thus far. History tells us it's also the best and
only way to eventually solve them.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Spray and Bridge.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So you just keep going, don't you. You get on
the plane, you put your suit on, you go to
the meetings. Another one this week G seven and Alberta.
So Trump's going to go to his fifty first state
for a G seven meeting. You put your suit on,
you put your tie, and you go trying, don't you.
That's your job. Twenty nine after five News Talks d
B Gavin Gray out of the UK and Europe and
(17:06):
our reporters around the country. Next you.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Ex Fowle Insulation keeping Kiwi
Holmes warm and dry this winter News Talk, said B, good.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Morning, it is twenty four minutes away from sex year.
On News Talks, hied B the Police Association on cops
and body cams before sex Gavin Graham the UK shortly
Starmer moving fighter jets in the Middle East. We'll get
to that. Also over the weekend, the sarians d story
that popped up on my computer by computer, I'm in
the phone. I don't know why I said that. I
(18:01):
never really use the computer, but anyway, here we are.
Young adults around the world are struggling more than ever,
says the co director of a massive global well being study.
And we need to understand why. Honestly, when I read
these first few lines, I think, why don't read? Don't continue,
don't continue. You don't need to, But anyway I did.
(18:21):
People aged eighteen to twenty four are running low on happiness, health, purpose,
strong relationships, and financial security, according to this global and
we need to understand why are the parents your model
coddling your kids. You're basically raising a generation of posses, socks,
(18:43):
sookie bubbers, whatever you want to call them. That's the problem.
You're hugging and helicoptering your children to incompetence. And also,
you know, things are so much easier to come by
these days, and when you get depressed, you're not being
challenged as a person, as an individual, are you? That's
often the problem, and you don't nothing challenges you these days.
(19:04):
If you want to go and eat something, you just
go to a supermarket. It's there, it's convenient. Then you
put it in a microwave and it's in your mouth
in a minute. You know, no one's going out and
killing or picking things these days are they to eat?
Life's too easy. Life is too easy. And when life's
easy and you've got lots of time on your hands,
you get depressed. That's pretty much what's happening to our
(19:25):
young people. I think anyway, twenty threve minutes away from
six and it's if you're a parent of them, then
it's it's your fault. Use tog CV. I will get
to our reporters around the country and we'll start in
Dunedin this morning. Who have we got in Dunedin forgive me?
I got to just carry it away myself. Callum is
with us in Duneed and Callum, good morning, Yes, Kellum
(19:46):
here morning right. What's your report for us today? Callum?
Speaker 13 (19:50):
I've got a concern from DOC for whales off the
Otago coast. The Department of Conservations warnings South Island to
keep an eye out for whales after one was found
in tangled in the craypot line yesterday morning. These humpback
whales will spot it off the beaches of Dunedin on Saturday,
but it was yesterday just north of the city, off
the coast of Monarchy, where a juvenile humpback was spotted
(20:12):
in immediate danger. A local fishing crew quickly came to
the rescue and, under advice from Doc, successfully disentangled the
whale from this craypot line. Doc says it's possible it
still has remnants of it attached, and there may be
a second entangled whale in the area. And they're asking
locals if they see any whales in distress to call
(20:33):
the dock hotline.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, how's the weather there?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
Fine morning, frosts and twelve today.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Good on you callum, Thank you. CLIs Chedwards and christ Church,
good morning, Claire, good morning. Now Littleton community rallying together.
This is after that fire.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Well, yeah, it's been a pretty terrible week for those
in Littleton. Actually, they had the landslide which damaged a
property and forced the evacuation of some others overnight Thursday
into Friday. Christ Church City Council have been busy doing
some drone surveying there. Then on Friday this fire spread through.
It started at one property and ended up englfing three
homes on on Friday there. It was pretty sad. The
(21:10):
family had poured everything into renovating the initial house that
went up in flames. They've got nothing left there was
real concern for their dog summit at one point. The
good news is he's been found, but he has got
some serious burns, so he's getting some vet treatment. A
go fund me fundraising page has been started. There's ten
thousand dollars raised so far for them. The Bank's Peninsula
(21:33):
Council of tyrone Field says it was a pretty crazy
twenty four hours for the small community and he's acknowledging
how huge these events can be for people to deal with.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, especially we're little.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
And how about weather frosty and cold to start, some
cloud increasing this afternoon with one or two showers expected,
lightwins and a high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Than q Max's and Wellington Max. Good morning, Adam here
for Max this morning. Hi, Hello Adam, good thank you,
nice surprise for me. Hey tell me, so hang on
where is Max?
Speaker 13 (22:01):
Not?
Speaker 14 (22:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Did I still golfing?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Maybe? I don't know, honestly, was anyone going to tell us? Maybe? Hey, Adam,
it's good to have you here. Tell us about this
housing development and some high profile opposition.
Speaker 14 (22:14):
Yeah, this is and why can I beach on the
Carpety coast where just a few streets back from the
beach there are plans to build seventeen townhouses on twenty
four hundred square meters of land. Now, a lot of
residents in the area are dead against it, including cricket
great Bruce Edgar. Now, Bruce says a couple of minutes
walk from the beach is not the right place for
highly intensive development. He says the character of Why Can
(22:36):
I Beach just notable for a relaxed, low density urban form,
traditional beach settlement amenities and a strong sense of community. Now,
Bruce Heggers says he's not against more housing, but the
level of it is an issue, and he suggested a
development of seven or eight homes on that site would
be better suited. And Edgar, who played more than one
hundred times for New Zealand, says the ovation he got
for speaking out against the proposal was greater than any
(22:58):
he got in his time as a cricketer.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I know why can that beat very well. They need
more houses down there, and they've got the new expressway
to get them there too. Anyway, how's the weather this morning?
Speaker 14 (23:09):
Cloudy, period's isolated showers and eleven nice one.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Adam, thank you, Adam Cooper and Wellington for US and
nevas An Auckland. Hey, Neva, greetings. Now we've got sighting
day for Hamilton Airport.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
Yes, now Hamilton Airport International Terminal gearing up for takeoff today.
So it's the first international flight in thirteen years. We'll
touch down today. You know that airport's are operating now
four return flights a week. This is to Sydney and
three to the Gold Coast. So I think most people
remember that the airport's been around seven million dollars. This
(23:39):
is on that newly refurbished terminal including you know, all
the full border controls and there's a new duty free store.
So the CEO, that's Mark Morgan. He says that they're
hoping to expand more over the next few years, looking
at upping that frequency for the Australian roots, and they
also want to attract flights from the Pacific Islands.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Nice so hopefully gets they'll crank it. If you're in
the Waite Cateau or anyway down that way, you'd rather
go to Hamilton.
Speaker 15 (24:06):
Get into that central North Island and Hobiton is huge overseas.
I still haven't been there.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Get straight in Nier of ib get straight in there
from Australia and the other thing that's handy for this
as well is every time a plane doesn't land at
Auckland because of weather, it has to go. There's no
customs people in Hamilton, so they have to drive the
customs people down from autumn, so they'll already be there,
which is intact.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
He's very good.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Or you thought about this one, didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You a little bit?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
How's the weather?
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Cloudy?
Speaker 15 (24:34):
Few shells possible north of Wartworth fifteen the high here
in Auckland.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I never guess what this week is?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
What should we? Yes?
Speaker 15 (24:41):
Yes, I can't believe I didn't even think about it.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That a spring in my steak. I thought you looked
right down here. You came in this morning seventeen away
from six News Talk, said b Gavin gray are UK

Middle East Middle East? Is that a concern or is
that just cautious? Good news for Milford. They've just taken
out the Consumer New Zealand People's Choice Award keiw Saver

for their Milford Keewisaver plan, which is fantastic. Congratulations. That
makes it eight years in a row for them. So
they are on a roll now. There's also morning Stars
Layers independent survey found at Morningstar dot com dot Au
showing Milford has had the number one performing keyw Saver
funds in the growth, balanced and consecutive categories for returns
(25:26):
over the past ten years. All of this is down
to Milford's expert team and their active approach to investing,
which is clearly second to none. So why wouldn't you
make the switch to Milford fair keywysaver account really easy

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Kevin Gray Are UK. You're at correspondent with us this morning, Gavin,
Good morning, Hi there. Right now, the UK's advised Britain's
basically don't go to Israel at the moment, certainly don't
go to Iran, but also moving around some military assets.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yes, a very important military assets. So let's start with those,
the air to wear refueling, various equipment and machinery, but
also typhoon jets. And it's interesting the government saying we
recommend to dial down the rhetoric and to keep calm everyone,
we don't want to big war breaking out in the
Middle East, and yet they're moving in more of the hardware,
(26:50):
the military hardware. Why well, because Iran has said that
any support for Israel by America, France and the UK
will basically mean that any assets those countries have in
the region will be fair game and potential targets. So
although they're putting out this message of you know, let's
quite calm everyone, they are also saying we're moving those
(27:11):
assets in. And now this advice to all Britain saying
do not travel to Israel, and that is because quite
simply they're unable to keep them safe in what they're
describing as a fast moving situation that poses significant risks,
which of course means the bombing that Iran is currently
carrying out in Israel.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Meanwhile, French President Emanuel Marcon he's going to green Land today.
This is basically a slight little finger to the US.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yes, very much so.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
I mean, you know, a few years ago ran no
countries leaders went to Greenland. I mean it really was,
you know, a very very sort of a place that
is very small, didn't see to carry many votes or
public set of amazement. So yeah, this is going to
be an interesting visit. A manual Macron touching down in
a city with just twenty thousand people. It must be
(28:01):
one of the smallest foreign visits, official foreign visits carried out.
And it is I think to show this European unity
that they are with Greenland, which is of course part
of Denmark as an autonomous region but governor as it
were by Denmark, and so his travel to the capital
Nuke is going to be extremely interesting. I think you'll
get a very warm reception Greenland reaching out to other
(28:24):
European nations saying don't forget us, we are still wanting
to be part of you know, the Kingdom of Denmark, etc.
Greenland is not for sale, and as you said, sticking
up the finger or to Donald Trump and the American
government saying we are not going to be bullied around
by you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah. And they'll be seeing each other those two presumably
as well at the JU seven summit Alberta and Kenada
in a couple of those time. Thank you very much, Gavin.
Gavin Gray are UK europe correspondent. Just gone ten to
nine over in Tel Aviv, and there are new missiles
heading towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem right now as we speak.
Iran still firing and the Iron Dome apparently still working.
(29:04):
That was penetrated over nine and ten people according to
Natanya who have died. It is now ten away from six,
Ryan rich Police Commissioner Richard Chambers has given the green
lights for police to use body cameras. He's asked a
senior team member to look into options for the scheme
over the next year. Chris Carhill, the Police Association President,
with us this morning. Good morning, Chris, Good morning, Ryan. Now,
(29:25):
jury's out on evidence. Is it whether these things will
make a massive difference or do you think they will?
Speaker 11 (29:32):
The massive difference is certainly out. This hasn't had quite
the extent of change that you would think around the world.
But that doesn't mean we're not positive on them. We
still think they make it a difference. It's worth finding
out for real benefits of for using them.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What about the costs? There was talk they were about
one thousand bucks apot, but that's the easy part. Then
you've got to store the data and all of that
stuff's expensive.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
Yeah, there's some real fish ups. Obviously there's the cost
to actually get them, but it's the dartist or is
this really causes the problem? And around the world there's
been a number of forces who have actually started to
withdraw them because of the extra cost that they simply
don't have the budget for. And I think the o
the biggest is to decide New Zealand is what are
we going to store how long are we going to
(30:15):
store it for? And then who will have access to
it or to be available to under an official information
that request? Could the media get everything they want or
will it be restricted to court?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Because what is a huge risk to take. What is
the problem that they are solving. Do you think is
it a lack of trust? Do you think enough New
Zealanders don't trust what a police officer says anymore, so
they need a body camera.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Well, I think the problem is that around the world
are so prevalent now that you sort of start to
become the outlier and people think that why have we
not got them? I mean, certainly when everyone else is
recording police on phones and then producing limited footage that
shows things in a certain light. The advantage of having
the full story is there for officers. It just clears
(31:01):
up those disputed incidents a lot less complaints or complaints
resolved a lot quicker, and you know, you can get
a variety of them, so you can get ones there,
anyone within ten meters any other officer. The camera goes
on as well, so you get different angles which can
tell a different story. So there are some real benefits there.
But as I say that with some flesh shocks, and
(31:23):
the obvious one is the cost. And when you've got
pre stations, you know, literally closing because they're not up
to standard, you have to then decide what's so priorty.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Appreciate your time. Chris Carhill, the Police Association president, with
that this morning. The Chambers has asked someone to go
and look into it. Going to take a year, so
nothing's going to happen quickly. Eight to six News Talks.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Heb get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Branch and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm
and dry this winter News Talks, he'd be.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Five to six on news Talks headb. Missiles are being
seen right now over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Thing is
up fired from run obviously in retaliation or kicked off
on Friday. Mike is here with us now, Mike, good
morning morning. Did you you would know Golden Maya?
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Well, I know the name, of course, Well time.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Minister of Israel. Have you said There's a movie I
watched at the weekend on Apple TV called Golder about
her and the fact that you had she had This
is in the seventies, Like the Egyptians coming from one
side and the Syrians coming from the other side. Nothing
really changes, does nothing changes at all. It's a sad business.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
What I've been reading about around that's interesting and I
hadn't followed it. And it's one of those things when
the war brecksitedy and goes, oh, what's good anyway? So
I'm assuming they're looking for regime change. I mean domestically
things were a problem. And but I mean between that,
I just worry for Luxan, who's in this morning. And
so when your China is different, but when you wander
off to NATO, I mean from a tiny little country
(32:50):
at the bottom of the world, is anyone remotely interested
in anything? We've got to say At the moment, the
place is a complete and utter basket case and they've
got big fish to fry and with a we're you know,
going hello.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Well we shout, we'll just as I said earlier, you
put your suit on, you put your tie on, you
go there and say peace and free trade. No one
listens and you go home. But that's the job, isn't it.
I guess.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
So you noticed that Carnie, who's running this g seventh
thing in the next few days, that they're not doing
a communicate. Really no, they've given up before it's even
started because they've got no idea what Trump's going to
say or do, and therefore there's no point needing.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You can't pre agree anything.
Speaker 11 (33:28):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I see he's inviting Moody, which is interesting, and also
Shine barm from Mexico. It's an interesting world.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
I suppose we can say that count win but anyway,
before he leaves, he's right here, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Look forward to seeing you later on Mike. It is
coming up to six o'clock. You're on News Talk, said Bee,

early edition with ex pole insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and dry.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
This winter news talk, sa'd be good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It is Monday, short week this week six minutes after five.
Now the cops with body cameras. How much is it
going to cost us? Because it looks like we're going
to do it? And is it worth the price? The
missiles are still flying in the Middle East. A Trump
is tweeting as well. Gavin Gray are UK europe correspondent
with us before six o'clock now Sport. Andrew Alison is
here because we have the big game this weekend, the
(00:34):
Crusaders and the Chiefs. Of course we also Havealy and
Lawson sort of disappointing again. Fox is still in with
the Gulf. The Prime Minister's trip to China. We'll talk
about that. Tartanaki is disappointing us economically. Why and we've
got snails in the fridge costing US four hundred thousand dollars?
Do we turn it off?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The agenda Monday to sixteenth of June.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
More Iranian missiles snuck through the Iron Dome over nineten
did the ANITYA who says there's civilians and that Iran
will pay a quote very heavy price.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
We are defending ourselves. This defense is entirely legitimate. We
are defending with strength and resolve, and our response is a.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Reaction to aggression.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Therefore, if the aggression stops, naturally, our responses will also cease.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Trump wants a deal.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
What President Trump said is that he still wants them
to come to the table.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
He said if they don't, quote, it will be too
late for them.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The suspect in America's political assassinations at the weekend still
on the run.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
This was an act of targeted political violence.
Speaker 8 (01:40):
Peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
We not set at our differences with violence or at gunpoint.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Now it was apparently coincidence, but Trump also had his
seventy ninth birthday on the same day as the military parade.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Every other country celebrates their victories, It's about time America
did too.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
This was the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
US Army. At the same time, thousands of Americans joined
the no King's protest. Happy Birthday.
Speaker 10 (02:10):
But he's not a king, and he's acting like one.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I just wanted to be counted as someone who's really
unhappy with everything that's going on, and that you know,
I want to see your process.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well, they wren at the parade, were they? It is
eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with
Ryan Bridge and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi Holmes warm
and dry.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
This winter news talks at me.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
So I spent a bit of time at the weekend,
as you do, just because the weather was bad, watching
the military parade, and this is the American one was Honestly,
it looked like a bunch of scruffy guys. None of
the shirts were tucked in, some of the laces were
undone on the boots, and it looked like they were
just walking into the mall. You know, no one's dressed
(03:04):
up nicely they're in. I think part of the problem.
They were in their actual combat uniforms rather than anything ceremonial,
but just wandering in whether it was bad, couldn't see
the planes. Kind of disappointing and contrasts that with something
you'd get out of Pyongyang with synchronized goose stepping that
(03:28):
sound every time that beat hits, all of those boots
are hitting the ground at the exact same second, and
if anyone's even a millisecond out of time, then they shot.
So that's why they're so good. I doesn't actually tell
you much about how good of them of a fighters
they are, does it. But it's just an interesting thing
(03:50):
to watch. Well, it actually wasn't so much on the
weekend as the point. Now, our day three of this conflict,
Israel attacking Iran's This is overnight Israel attacking Around's energy industry.
They've gone for the defense ministry and Iran is hitting
a refinery just outside of Tel Aviv. They've also gone
to high rise apartment blocks south of Tel Aviv, which
(04:11):
is where the civilian deaths at Ntinya who's talking about
have come from. Now, Trump posts, if we are attacked
in any way, shape or formed by Iran, the full
strength and might of the US armed forces will come
down on you at levels never seen before. Israeli cours
wants to get the United States involved, because you know,
they tried to hit a whole bunch of nuclear sites,
(04:32):
uranium enrichment sites inside Iran, and the Uranians are not stupid.
They've put them underground. In some cases, they've put them
in valleys. Underground, so they're even harder to get at
basically in caves. But there's one particular enrichment uranium site
that they would love the Americans help with. It's the
four dol uranium enrichment plant which is very deep under
(04:52):
a mountain and only the Yanks weapons could get at it.
And so the Israel would very much like America to
get in because that's what they would like them to
take out. Eleven minutes alfter five, we'll look at that.
Just before six o'clock, we were about quarter two with
Gavin Gray coming up next. Though Trump sorry Luxen not
to be confused, is off to China this week, So
(05:14):
what exactly are we expecting from that meeting. It's next
here on News Talk sebb.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Ryan Bridge on earlier issue with text Pole insulation, keeping
Kiwi homes warm and try this winter Used Talks EDB
five fourteen.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
On News Talks, heb Tartanaki is going backwards. This is
the quarterly economic report from Infometrics report reprepared rather for
Venture Tartanaki, and it shows them in the last quarter
going backwards three point one percent. That's despite a drop
of one point one percent nationwide. According to infometrics. Employment
(05:49):
numbers down one point eight percent, consumer spending down one
point nine percent. Even though they had a thirty one
percent increase in dairy payouts to one point eight billion dollars,
still went backwards and you start asking why, why would
Taranaki be going backwards? They are a self sufficient powerhouse.
They're an absolute workhorse this region, at least they have been.
(06:12):
Why are they going backwards even when they're getting a
MASSI dairy payout. And the answer, of course is gas. Obviously,
you've got your normal consumer spending fluctuations that you have
anywhere in the country at the moment. But if you
look and this is even venture Tartanaki says this, we're
at the pointy end of the accelerated decline in gas
production and that's flying through to many of our industry sectors,
(06:35):
particularly engineering and specialist supply chains, adding a further dimension
to our economic situation. Where is the just transition that
Tartanaki was promised? Remember that from the last government, Remember
all the visits from the ministers. Don't worry, we'll look
after you. We've got a plan. Well, where's the plan?
At quarter past five, Brian Prime Minister heading Prime Minister
(06:57):
heading to China this week, where he'll be meeting with
presidents using Ping Beijing. Ahead of the visit, the government
tweaked visa settings to allow Chinese travelers in with a
current visa who come from Australia. So in other words,
the Australians do the checks and we piggyback off them.
Alistair Crozy is executive director of the New Zealand China Council.
With me this morning, alist the good morning, Good morning Ryan.
We'll try to take notice of that tweak, because it
(07:20):
is a tweak. We're not letting them in wholesale without
a visa.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
Sure, we'll look overnight the evidences that they already have.
Since the announcement was made, search for New Zealand travel
on some of the big platforms like Sea trip has
increased markedly.
Speaker 11 (07:37):
So yes, these.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Things although they as you say, it's not removing visas
altogether by any means, it's certainly a splash and it
will get a lot of attention this week.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
That's good news. What about the because the argument, while
we don't just allow them and carte blanche on visa
free is because of the number of refugees. Do you
know what the situation is, what the outcome might be
if we did it.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
I won't go into that on visa settings. I mean,
every country's got to balance their security settings with rolling
out the maps of tourists and visitors.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Not the China.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
We do that for many countries and many countries do
that for.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Us as well. So the main thing for this week
is that it's a positive step in the right direction
towards hopefully recovering some of those Chinese tourist numbers from
before COVID.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Good pr exercise for us to be up in China
at the moment. What about some of the tensions that
we've had. I mean, obviously this is going to be
a leader to leader, a bilateral meeting between the two.
Some of the live firing drills. You know, we had
our navy frigates in the straight Taiwan straight last year.
I mean, all of those things will come up.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Sure, And from that perspective, you know, it's nothing beats
a face to face, is it like this? It's a
chance they're our prime minister to meet not just President
Shei but also Premier Le Chang, and look, both sides
freely admit that there are going to be differences between
two countries like New Zealand and China. This provides an
(09:17):
opportunity to discuss them face to face, and I think
the key thing is that both sides will remain diplomatic
and respectful and hopefully clear the year on some of
those issues.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Where are some of the areas of opportunity, economic opportunity
that you think we should be tackling.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Well, look there's still opportunities in China across the board.
I mean the Prime Minister is taking a business delegation
of almost thirty people. They're focused on everything from you know,
your primary produce exports to your middle class consumers, not
just in the big cities now, but in those what
they call second and third tier cities. They're coming up
(09:58):
fast in terms of spending power, but also taking a
strong delegation representing our education sector and also our tourism
sector as we've.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Been discussing and a Listir appreciate your time this morning,
thanks to your comments. Alistair Crozier, the executive Director the
New Zealand China Council Luxon leaves tomorrow. It is eighteen
after five News Talks ZBB Sport with Andrew Ordison.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Next the news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis earlier edition with Ryan Bridge and ex Bowl
installation keeping Kiwi homes warm and dry.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
This winter News Talks EDB five.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
To any One News Talks heb Fee the club World
Cup Rugby, Sorry, World Cup soccer is on Auckland City
taking on buying Munich. This is happening this morning.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
It is Ryan and it's not happening well for Aukland City.
But this is somewhat understandable. They're an amateur side effectively,
and they're ranked well the world rankings op to power Stats.
I think it's called Song of that Nature, ranked four
nine hundred and forty two places below Bayern Munich one
of the world powerhouses of football, so.
Speaker 10 (11:02):
Six Niel down.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
Just it wasn't half time, I think still is that
fifty seven minutes gone now between those two.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So it could be worse then, couldn't it. Ranking We've
got like plumbers.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Like your your optimism this morning, that's the way it
started Monday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
We've got like plumbers and trade's and all sorts.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Of that's right, that's right. I think barbera and insurance
broke or something like that.
Speaker 12 (11:23):
Anyway, they've they're struggling somewhat understandably against the best players
in the world now highest some of the highest players
paid players in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I'm sure they're having fun though, absolutely wouldn't you. And
now the Crusaders beat the Blues, the chief beat the
Chiefs beat the Brumbies and I was just thinking that
the Chiefs. So we've got a Chiefs Crusader's Final, which
is great down in christ Church. But if it wasn't
for the change to the competition, the Chiefs wouldn't even
be there.
Speaker 12 (11:49):
I think they'd be gone from the last year, says
I think that's that's a credit to how they've adjusted
that though. I think if you were in top place
over the course of a round robin season, you deserve
some degree of safety need or some degree of advantage
to that. And they've lost the advantage of having a
home final, but they've gained of course to beat the
Brumbies in the semi finals. That I guess you call
(12:11):
like almost like a ripper chage or something of that nature.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You've now actually ended up with the two probably best
teams in the final.
Speaker 12 (12:19):
Yeah, I would have thought so much on the line
for so many reasons but yeah, it deserves to be
in christ which is a result of that.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Absolutely, it was a cracker.
Speaker 12 (12:28):
I mean Crusaders that I was thinking that game, just
the patience they displayed with the blues hot on a
tack towards the end there it was all on the line.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And what exciting game this weekend? And can can the
Chiefs actually finally pop that?
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You know, how's Ryan Fox going final round the US?
Speaker 12 (12:48):
So well, it's going to be the most on this
ogre of a golf course at Oakmont just seems to
be rough everywhere there and in so many players, so
many great players in the field have struggled. Fox two
under through eleven. He was three under at one stage
I think through seven holes. But he's moved up the
leaderboard this morning, so I think he started in maybe
(13:08):
fortyeth something like that, or this year of fortieth. He's
gone up to twenty fifth as of last report, but
the leaders yet to ge underway. They're geting underway at
quarter past six. But that shift provides him entertainment this morning.
I mean that rough, Yeah, it's for the most part,
seeing about about five inches thick just on the apron
to the greens et cetera.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
It's been brutal Ryan.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I saw it was that Ruory mclroy who had a
bit of a wobble.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Yeah, there's been a few wobbles.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Hey. Interesting we're talking about Ryan Fox and we don't
mention Liam Lawson anymore. Someone says, Someone says, Ryan, when
are we going to stop hearing about Liam Lawson on
the sports news. He's clearly not good enough, finishes down
the track constantly and seems to have issues with his car.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
All he'll get his due, He'll get his you know,
get a line on as result. If if he gets
up unto the top ten, gets some points, well it'll
go for the But I think, yeah, the honeymoon's over.
Really But but the thing is he's already I mean,
it's just to make Formula one.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's an extraordinary achievement.
Speaker 12 (14:04):
He's he's got to be just given his Junie hour
as to you know, on merits say trade.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Ryan Fox, on the other hand, writes headlines himself. Doesn't
he he does, he does, He's and every bit of
it absolutely Andrew, thank you, good to see you. Cheers right,
Andrew Ortison was sport of course, he'll have another update
for US just after five point thirty here on news
Talks B. The number to text nine to nine to
two will get to our UK Europe correspondent Gavin Gray
and our reporters after News the Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks B.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Five twenty seven. News Talks said be the Prime Minister
is jetting off on a diplomatic mission this week, heading
into a decidedly undiplomatic world Israel and Irana Hammer and
Tong's Netanya, who says Tehran is close to producing a
nuclear weapon. As the missiles and the drones fly across
the Middle East, talks of a nuclear deal and Oman
(14:57):
are on hold. The UK's mobilized fighter jets in the
region as Iran warns it'll strike the Western targets if
they dare to support Tel Aviv. Israel's blockade of Gaza continues.
That's despite protests from this country and most others through
the UN and sanctions talks in Turkey to when the
war in Ukraine haven't stopped. The violence. Diplomacy has so
(15:21):
far failed. China continues buying all from Russia and tacitly
keeping its war in Europe alive. The US continues supporting Israel,
keeping its wars in Gaza and on Iran alive. China
and the US themselves are doing direct battle of a
different kind on trade. We've got politically motivated assassinations in America,
(15:42):
Marines and National Guard troops on the streets of Los Angeles.
All this as the global economy splutters along under the
weight of it all. And I haven't even mentioned Pakistan
and India. Thank god they sorted their stuff out a
couple of weeks ago. As lux And prepares to meet
with Shujinping and then attend a NATO leaders meeting in
the Netherlands, the big question is not what to do,
(16:04):
but where to start. New Zealand's influence in all of
this is, of course limited. Most of these conflicts date
back further than the birth of our nation. We rely
on the United Nations, whose P five veto power renders
it about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike,
utterly useless. This is not the first time the world
(16:27):
has faced a collision of crises involving wars backed by
competing global superpowers. While diplomacy has failed to prevent them
thus far. History tells us it's also the best and
only way to eventually solve them.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Spray and Bridge.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
So you just keep going, don't you. You get on
the plane, you put your suit on, you go to
the meetings. Another one this week G seven and Alberta.
So Trump's going to go to his fifty first state
for a G seven meeting. You put your suit on,
you put your tie, and you go trying, don't you.
That's your job. Twenty nine after five News Talks d
B Gavin Gray out of the UK and Europe and
(17:06):
our reporters around the country. Next you.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Ex Fowle Insulation keeping Kiwi
Holmes warm and dry this winter News Talk, said B, good.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Morning, it is twenty four minutes away from sex year.
On News Talks, hied B the Police Association on cops
and body cams before sex Gavin Graham the UK shortly
Starmer moving fighter jets in the Middle East. We'll get
to that. Also over the weekend, the sarians d story
that popped up on my computer by computer, I'm in
the phone. I don't know why I said that. I
(18:01):
never really use the computer, but anyway, here we are.
Young adults around the world are struggling more than ever,
says the co director of a massive global well being study.
And we need to understand why. Honestly, when I read
these first few lines, I think, why don't read? Don't continue,
don't continue. You don't need to, But anyway I did.
(18:21):
People aged eighteen to twenty four are running low on happiness, health, purpose,
strong relationships, and financial security, according to this global and
we need to understand why are the parents your model
coddling your kids. You're basically raising a generation of posses, socks,
(18:43):
sookie bubbers, whatever you want to call them. That's the problem.
You're hugging and helicoptering your children to incompetence. And also,
you know, things are so much easier to come by
these days, and when you get depressed, you're not being
challenged as a person, as an individual, are you? That's
often the problem, and you don't nothing challenges you these days.
(19:04):
If you want to go and eat something, you just
go to a supermarket. It's there, it's convenient. Then you
put it in a microwave and it's in your mouth
in a minute. You know, no one's going out and
killing or picking things these days are they to eat?
Life's too easy. Life is too easy. And when life's
easy and you've got lots of time on your hands,
you get depressed. That's pretty much what's happening to our
(19:25):
young people. I think anyway, twenty threve minutes away from
six and it's if you're a parent of them, then
it's it's your fault. Use tog CV. I will get
to our reporters around the country and we'll start in
Dunedin this morning. Who have we got in Dunedin forgive me?
I got to just carry it away myself. Callum is
with us in Duneed and Callum, good morning, Yes, Kellum
(19:46):
here morning right. What's your report for us today? Callum?
Speaker 13 (19:50):
I've got a concern from DOC for whales off the
Otago coast. The Department of Conservations warnings South Island to
keep an eye out for whales after one was found
in tangled in the craypot line yesterday morning. These humpback
whales will spot it off the beaches of Dunedin on Saturday,
but it was yesterday just north of the city, off
the coast of Monarchy, where a juvenile humpback was spotted
(20:12):
in immediate danger. A local fishing crew quickly came to
the rescue and, under advice from Doc, successfully disentangled the
whale from this craypot line. Doc says it's possible it
still has remnants of it attached, and there may be
a second entangled whale in the area. And they're asking
locals if they see any whales in distress to call
(20:33):
the dock hotline.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, how's the weather there?
Speaker 13 (20:36):
Fine morning, frosts and twelve today.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Good on you callum, Thank you. CLIs Chedwards and christ Church,
good morning, Claire, good morning. Now Littleton community rallying together.
This is after that fire.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Well, yeah, it's been a pretty terrible week for those
in Littleton. Actually, they had the landslide which damaged a
property and forced the evacuation of some others overnight Thursday
into Friday. Christ Church City Council have been busy doing
some drone surveying there. Then on Friday this fire spread through.
It started at one property and ended up englfing three
homes on on Friday there. It was pretty sad. The
(21:10):
family had poured everything into renovating the initial house that
went up in flames. They've got nothing left there was
real concern for their dog summit at one point. The
good news is he's been found, but he has got
some serious burns, so he's getting some vet treatment. A
go fund me fundraising page has been started. There's ten
thousand dollars raised so far for them. The Bank's Peninsula
(21:33):
Council of tyrone Field says it was a pretty crazy
twenty four hours for the small community and he's acknowledging
how huge these events can be for people to deal with.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, especially we're little.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
And how about weather frosty and cold to start, some
cloud increasing this afternoon with one or two showers expected,
lightwins and a high of eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Than q Max's and Wellington Max. Good morning, Adam here
for Max this morning. Hi, Hello Adam, good thank you,
nice surprise for me. Hey tell me, so hang on
where is Max?
Speaker 13 (22:01):
Not?
Speaker 14 (22:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Did I still golfing?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Maybe? I don't know, honestly, was anyone going to tell us? Maybe? Hey, Adam,
it's good to have you here. Tell us about this
housing development and some high profile opposition.
Speaker 14 (22:14):
Yeah, this is and why can I beach on the
Carpety coast where just a few streets back from the
beach there are plans to build seventeen townhouses on twenty
four hundred square meters of land. Now, a lot of
residents in the area are dead against it, including cricket
great Bruce Edgar. Now, Bruce says a couple of minutes
walk from the beach is not the right place for
highly intensive development. He says the character of Why Can
(22:36):
I Beach just notable for a relaxed, low density urban form,
traditional beach settlement amenities and a strong sense of community. Now,
Bruce Heggers says he's not against more housing, but the
level of it is an issue, and he suggested a
development of seven or eight homes on that site would
be better suited. And Edgar, who played more than one
hundred times for New Zealand, says the ovation he got
for speaking out against the proposal was greater than any
(22:58):
he got in his time as a cricketer.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I know why can that beat very well. They need
more houses down there, and they've got the new expressway
to get them there too. Anyway, how's the weather this morning?
Speaker 14 (23:09):
Cloudy, period's isolated showers and eleven nice one.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Adam, thank you, Adam Cooper and Wellington for US and
nevas An Auckland. Hey, Neva, greetings. Now we've got sighting
day for Hamilton Airport.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
Yes, now Hamilton Airport International Terminal gearing up for takeoff today.
So it's the first international flight in thirteen years. We'll
touch down today. You know that airport's are operating now
four return flights a week. This is to Sydney and
three to the Gold Coast. So I think most people
remember that the airport's been around seven million dollars. This
(23:39):
is on that newly refurbished terminal including you know, all
the full border controls and there's a new duty free store.
So the CEO, that's Mark Morgan. He says that they're
hoping to expand more over the next few years, looking
at upping that frequency for the Australian roots, and they
also want to attract flights from the Pacific Islands.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Nice so hopefully gets they'll crank it. If you're in
the Waite Cateau or anyway down that way, you'd rather
go to Hamilton.
Speaker 15 (24:06):
Get into that central North Island and Hobiton is huge overseas.
I still haven't been there.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Get straight in Nier of ib get straight in there
from Australia and the other thing that's handy for this
as well is every time a plane doesn't land at
Auckland because of weather, it has to go. There's no
customs people in Hamilton, so they have to drive the
customs people down from autumn, so they'll already be there,
which is intact.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
He's very good.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
Or you thought about this one, didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You a little bit?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
How's the weather?
Speaker 10 (24:33):
Cloudy?
Speaker 15 (24:34):
Few shells possible north of Wartworth fifteen the high here
in Auckland.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I never guess what this week is?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
What should we? Yes?
Speaker 15 (24:41):
Yes, I can't believe I didn't even think about it.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That a spring in my steak. I thought you looked
right down here. You came in this morning seventeen away
from six News Talk, said b Gavin gray are UK
europe correspondence. Starma is mobilizing some fighter jets in the
Middle East Middle East? Is that a concern or is
that just cautious? Good news for Milford. They've just taken
out the Consumer New Zealand People's Choice Award keiw Saver
(25:05):
for their Milford Keewisaver plan, which is fantastic. Congratulations. That
makes it eight years in a row for them. So
they are on a roll now. There's also morning Stars
Layers independent survey found at Morningstar dot com dot Au
showing Milford has had the number one performing keyw Saver
funds in the growth, balanced and consecutive categories for returns
(25:26):
over the past ten years. All of this is down
to Milford's expert team and their active approach to investing,
which is clearly second to none. So why wouldn't you
make the switch to Milford fair keywysaver account really easy
to do. All you do go online, you need a
photo ID, your IRD number and it's done. Past performance
is not a reliable indicator of future performance Milford Funds Limited.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Kevin Gray Are UK. You're at correspondent with us this morning, Gavin,
Good morning, Hi there. Right now, the UK's advised Britain's
basically don't go to Israel at the moment, certainly don't
go to Iran, but also moving around some military assets.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yes, a very important military assets. So let's start with those,
the air to wear refueling, various equipment and machinery, but
also typhoon jets. And it's interesting the government saying we
recommend to dial down the rhetoric and to keep calm everyone,
we don't want to big war breaking out in the
Middle East, and yet they're moving in more of the hardware,
(26:50):
the military hardware. Why well, because Iran has said that
any support for Israel by America, France and the UK
will basically mean that any assets those countries have in
the region will be fair game and potential targets. So
although they're putting out this message of you know, let's
quite calm everyone, they are also saying we're moving those
(27:11):
assets in. And now this advice to all Britain saying
do not travel to Israel, and that is because quite
simply they're unable to keep them safe in what they're
describing as a fast moving situation that poses significant risks,
which of course means the bombing that Iran is currently
carrying out in Israel.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Meanwhile, French President Emanuel Marcon he's going to green Land today.
This is basically a slight little finger to the US.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yes, very much so.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
I mean, you know, a few years ago ran no
countries leaders went to Greenland. I mean it really was,
you know, a very very sort of a place that
is very small, didn't see to carry many votes or
public set of amazement. So yeah, this is going to
be an interesting visit. A manual Macron touching down in
a city with just twenty thousand people. It must be
(28:01):
one of the smallest foreign visits, official foreign visits carried out.
And it is I think to show this European unity
that they are with Greenland, which is of course part
of Denmark as an autonomous region but governor as it
were by Denmark, and so his travel to the capital
Nuke is going to be extremely interesting. I think you'll
get a very warm reception Greenland reaching out to other
(28:24):
European nations saying don't forget us, we are still wanting
to be part of you know, the Kingdom of Denmark, etc.
Greenland is not for sale, and as you said, sticking
up the finger or to Donald Trump and the American
government saying we are not going to be bullied around
by you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah. And they'll be seeing each other those two presumably
as well at the JU seven summit Alberta and Kenada
in a couple of those time. Thank you very much, Gavin.
Gavin Gray are UK europe correspondent. Just gone ten to
nine over in Tel Aviv, and there are new missiles
heading towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem right now as we speak.
Iran still firing and the Iron Dome apparently still working.
(29:04):
That was penetrated over nine and ten people according to
Natanya who have died. It is now ten away from six,
Ryan rich Police Commissioner Richard Chambers has given the green
lights for police to use body cameras. He's asked a
senior team member to look into options for the scheme
over the next year. Chris Carhill, the Police Association President,
with us this morning. Good morning, Chris, Good morning, Ryan. Now,
(29:25):
jury's out on evidence. Is it whether these things will
make a massive difference or do you think they will?
Speaker 11 (29:32):
The massive difference is certainly out. This hasn't had quite
the extent of change that you would think around the world.
But that doesn't mean we're not positive on them. We
still think they make it a difference. It's worth finding
out for real benefits of for using them.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What about the costs? There was talk they were about
one thousand bucks apot, but that's the easy part. Then
you've got to store the data and all of that
stuff's expensive.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
Yeah, there's some real fish ups. Obviously there's the cost
to actually get them, but it's the dartist or is
this really causes the problem? And around the world there's
been a number of forces who have actually started to
withdraw them because of the extra cost that they simply
don't have the budget for. And I think the o
the biggest is to decide New Zealand is what are
we going to store how long are we going to
(30:15):
store it for? And then who will have access to
it or to be available to under an official information
that request? Could the media get everything they want or
will it be restricted to court?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Because what is a huge risk to take. What is
the problem that they are solving. Do you think is
it a lack of trust? Do you think enough New
Zealanders don't trust what a police officer says anymore, so
they need a body camera.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Well, I think the problem is that around the world
are so prevalent now that you sort of start to
become the outlier and people think that why have we
not got them? I mean, certainly when everyone else is
recording police on phones and then producing limited footage that
shows things in a certain light. The advantage of having
the full story is there for officers. It just clears
(31:01):
up those disputed incidents a lot less complaints or complaints
resolved a lot quicker, and you know, you can get
a variety of them, so you can get ones there,
anyone within ten meters any other officer. The camera goes
on as well, so you get different angles which can
tell a different story. So there are some real benefits there.
But as I say that with some flesh shocks, and
(31:23):
the obvious one is the cost. And when you've got
pre stations, you know, literally closing because they're not up
to standard, you have to then decide what's so priorty.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Appreciate your time. Chris Carhill, the Police Association president, with
that this morning. The Chambers has asked someone to go
and look into it. Going to take a year, so
nothing's going to happen quickly. Eight to six News Talks.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Heb get ahead of the headlines on early edition with
Ryan Branch and ex fol Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm
and dry this winter News Talks, he'd be.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Five to six on news Talks headb. Missiles are being
seen right now over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Thing is
up fired from run obviously in retaliation or kicked off
on Friday. Mike is here with us now, Mike, good
morning morning. Did you you would know Golden Maya?
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Well, I know the name, of course, Well time.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Minister of Israel. Have you said There's a movie I
watched at the weekend on Apple TV called Golder about
her and the fact that you had she had This
is in the seventies, Like the Egyptians coming from one
side and the Syrians coming from the other side. Nothing
really changes, does nothing changes at all. It's a sad business.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
What I've been reading about around that's interesting and I
hadn't followed it. And it's one of those things when
the war brecksitedy and goes, oh, what's good anyway? So
I'm assuming they're looking for regime change. I mean domestically
things were a problem. And but I mean between that,
I just worry for Luxan, who's in this morning. And
so when your China is different, but when you wander
off to NATO, I mean from a tiny little country
(32:50):
at the bottom of the world, is anyone remotely interested
in anything? We've got to say At the moment, the
place is a complete and utter basket case and they've
got big fish to fry and with a we're you know,
going hello.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Well we shout, we'll just as I said earlier, you
put your suit on, you put your tie on, you
go there and say peace and free trade. No one
listens and you go home. But that's the job, isn't it.
I guess.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
So you noticed that Carnie, who's running this g seventh
thing in the next few days, that they're not doing
a communicate. Really no, they've given up before it's even
started because they've got no idea what Trump's going to
say or do, and therefore there's no point needing.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You can't pre agree anything.
Speaker 11 (33:28):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I see he's inviting Moody, which is interesting, and also
Shine barm from Mexico. It's an interesting world.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
I suppose we can say that count win but anyway,
before he leaves, he's right here, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Look forward to seeing you later on Mike. It is
coming up to six o'clock. You're on News Talk, said Bee,
have a great Monday everyone. I will see you back
here tomorrow morning.
