Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge you
for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture bans and a play at store used dogs.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It'd be good morning. It is six after five, drag
to have your company on this Friday morning, coming up
before six teachers unions are fired up, they're angry, they're
peeved off about the truancy plan. Will tell you why
and put some questions to them. Vincent mcavnnie out of
the UK, and why today and Monday are not the
days for you to have a heart attack? The agenda
(00:36):
it is m I suppose no days a good day
to have a heart attack? Really is it? It's Friday,
the twenty seventh of September. The New York City Mayor
Eric Abram Abrams, the Democrat, has been charged with campaign finance,
bribery and conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
As the Endatement alleges Mayor Adams engaged in a long
running conspiracy in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal
campaign contributions from foreign and corporations.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Adams forgive me, pushes back. He says, not didn't happen,
won't resign The actions.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
That have unfolded over the last ten months, the elite,
the commentary, the demonizing. This did not surprise us that
we reached this day.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
To the war. Now Israel says no to a cease
fire proposal. This came from the US and France. The
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Israel Lebanon can choose a different path. This way to
shoot the sharpest relation in recent days. A diplomatic solution
is still viable.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Nittnya, who is in New York for the UN General
Assembly where he will address the Assembly tomorrow. Winston Peters
is there and call for quiet while he spoke to
the Security Council.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Maybe a third principle when somebody's addressing you, the rest
of the people in the room keep quiet.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Back here, Alliance meet workers and Timodo have been called
into a sudden meeting later this morning. It's believed the
plant will be shut down and production shifted south to
in the cargo. The move could see up to twelve
hundred jobs lost. Alliance hasn't confirmed the reason for the
meeting just yet. Eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
News and Views You Trust to start your day is
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a flying store.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
News Talk Sibby, Welcome to your Friday. I've had lots
of messages from people actually after watching that Winston Peters
clip saying, gee, I'm proud of Winston because he's sort
of like I mean, we wouldn't compare it to the
David Longey Oxford Union speech for me, but he's sort
of taking them on and just don't know how many people.
We couldn't see the camera, couldn't tell you who else
(02:52):
was talking while he was talking. But it is rude
to talk while someone else is talking, isn't it. So
there you go. We're proud of Winston Peters for standing
up to Theecurity Council, to the chit chat at the
Security Council. It has just gone on nine minutes after
five year. On News Talk said be we're going to
talk teachers' unions. Do they annoy you? I think they
do the teachers a disservice. And the reason I say
(03:14):
that is every time the government does something, they just
oppose it, no matter whether it's more funding. Remember they
gave them more funding a couple of weeks ago, and
the unions came out and said, nah, it's what this
is what you're supposed to be fighting for. Anyway. The
latest changes is to do with truancy and to do
(03:34):
with teacher only days. And on the teacher only days,
they've said the government has said do them in the holidays,
fair enough, don't do them during term time, and some
teachers have come out and said, well, that's undermining our
profession really, And on what difference will a couple of
days teacher only days make to the students learning? That
(03:55):
is the very attitude that the students have, Oh, what
does it matter if I take a day or two off,
or that the parents have. What doesn't matter if I
take a day or two off and go to Queenstown
or go to Fiji, or just not send my kids
to school, whatever the reason might be. Isn't that the
very attitude that has got us into this mess in
the first place? Because attendance rates are pretty dismal. Nine
(04:17):
two nine two is the number to text. I'd love
to keep your views on that. This morning, we are
gonna speak to Linda Stewart from may Road Primary. This
is a principal from west Auckland. She's got a lot
to say about it. Just before six, just gone ten
after five.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Ryan Bridge somewhat.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Also this morning, Elliott Smith News Talk, zibbi's Voice of Rugby.
He will be with us from Wellington. Apparently there's some
flight disruptions yesterday. Bit of wind, not surprising because it's Wellington.
New numbers out this morning on the number of kiwis
who are considering taking a second job. Not surprising. You
basically need it because income right, cost of living. The number, though,
(04:57):
is quite interesting. We'd love to hear from it. One
who's got a second job? Nine two, nine and two.
How many jobs do you have? I've got a friend
who's got three jobs. How do you even keep up
with that? Colleagues barely know him. He's a ghost at
all three jobs. But there you go, he's got three jobs.
Eleven minutes after five, you're on news Talk, said b.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
M Imply the times shame the news you need this
morning and the in depth analysis early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Swift City, New Zealand's furniture beds and applying store.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
News Talk said be thirteen after five. These teacher only days.
This is from one of our listeners this morning, Ryan,
These teacher only days. Are so difficult to handle with
both parents working. The term holidays are hard enough. Definitely
have your teacher only days during the breaks, Ryan, I
have to wonder if the yeah, this is talking about
(05:49):
something completely different but which we will get to, and
that is having a second job. There are new numbers
out this morning. In fact, I can tell you what
they are right now. So forty nine percent of KIBI
workers are considering taking on a second job in the
next twelve months. Most of those is basically because you
need more money and others. Thirty two percent said it
was to provide extra funds for discretionary spending. So you
(06:11):
want to go to the movies, you need a second job. Basically,
I have a second job, and I had to sort
of arrange it before I got here in order that
it would happen. I think because it's harder once you're
in a job and you want to do some little
side hustle or whatever, it's kind of harder to do it.
So if you can do it before you arrived, then
all power to you. Anyway, Fifty six percent believe their
(06:33):
employer would be supportive of them taking on a second job.
Elsewhere fourteen after five Brian bridge. A storm could be brewing,
as the government has agreed in principle to merge Kneewhere
and met Service to bring us a stronger weather forecasting system.
Merging the two it's been a big topic of conversation
after it was found that Met Service modeling failed to
(06:55):
predict the scale and the intensity of the Auckland Anniversary
weekend floods. The plan would see ne Ware acquire met Service,
with met Service keeping its role as out authorized meteorologist.
Philip Duncan is a weather watch head analyst and with
a communicator. He's with us this morning. Hey Philip, good morning,
Good to heo with you. Good to have you on
the show. Will these two be able to get along
(07:17):
and play nice? Do you think?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Well? I mean they're going to have to. That decision
has already been made and it's going to be a
bit of a toughs ride, I think to some of
the Met Service team, because it's probably a little bit
deflating to be merged into a brand new weather forecasting
company that sort of started to aggressively attack you about
ten years ago, which is what NIWA did and nie
(07:41):
were invested a lot of money into going after Met Service.
And they had no approval from cabinet to do this.
It was done sort of secretly and with no transparency.
So it's a bit of a weird journey to get
to this point, but the government has definitely done the
right thing because for a government to have two opposing
agencies doing weather forecasts and saying different things is a
(08:05):
recipe for a disaster.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, well, and we had one, didn't we what's it?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Is it fair to say that met Service missed that
Auckland Anniversary flood? I mean, wasn't that such a freak
event that no one really knew it was coming? Did you?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Absolutely? Yeah, the Auckland flood event was a basically a downpour,
just an isolated downpour, but it was over the top
of our largest city. But you ask farmers around New Zealand,
have you ever had a downpour that's you know, done
monumentally a big flooding, And a lot of them will
say yes at some point, not to say that that
was equal to everyone else, but you know, it was
(08:38):
a singular downpour. There was no computer modeling on the
planet that picked what actually happened, and so it was
it was a tough ride, but it is a good
example of what is happening here. You got me were
with this supercomputer that is paid for by the people,
and then you've got met service. The weather forecast is
funded by the people to do warnings, but they don't
(08:59):
share the equipment. And so you're one side saying I
can see something happening, and then when you say, well,
will you be sharing that with that service and me,
we goes no. For commercial reasons, we're not going to.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And that's the problem that's done. Where do you get
you because you're a private business, right Philip, where do
you get your data from? Is it from? Do you
buy it from Kneewa or someone?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
We couldn't afford it in that that's the reason why
this is a bit of a concern. We went to
the Commerce Commission about Meware because their pricing was astronomical.
We're talking about millions of dollars to access something that's
free in every other modern country, and so it it's
designed to keep NIEWA in power. The one positive about this, well,
so to answer your question, we were forced to basically
(09:41):
buy data from America. Now that there are two different
things with weather forecasting. One is the actual forecasting data
so the data we buy from the weather Company, which
used to be IBM, it's the most accurate in the world.
So you know, the fact that we were forced to
go down that road, that that route and end with
that data's turned out to be the best thing for us.
(10:03):
But the downside is we don't have access to historical
data and that means no one in New Zealand really
learns as a forecast. We don't learn from our mistakes
automatically because that data is missing. Yeah, so in Australia,
get something wrong, the computers will go all right, that's
what happened, this is what we forecast. Let's learn from
that mistake. But in New Zealand, me will holds on
(10:24):
to that information and says you can't have it, so
met Service doesn't learn from it. And then met Service
doesn't share the radar, so newa doesn't learn from that.
And so as a private company, we've just decided to
just say basically we're not going to get involved in
that historical stuff. We'll just focus on forecasting only.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, that can't be a good thing for the rest
of us. Philip, thank you very much for that. That's
Philip Duncan, who's a weather watchhead analyst and weather communicator
talking about this merger that is going to happen between
met Service and NEWA sounds like it about time it
did happen too. Lots of feedback on the teacher issue
run I'm a teacher and teacher only days are needed
for professional development. It is often very much required. The
(11:03):
PD opportunities often fall outside of school holidays, says aident.
Nine two nine two the number text with your messages
on that will have a principle. Just before six nineteen
up to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Five the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a player store news Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Said the I'm not saying I told you so because
it's annoying when people do that. But you know how
I said that Karmala Harris would be better for New Zealand.
New Zealand would be better off I Karmala Harris won
the US election? Are instead of Donald Trump? The Australians
have actually done a look at the potential economic implications.
They've taken a look under the hood. This is by
Australian economists and former Reserve Bank Board member Warwick mckibbon.
(11:47):
He says, because China will be hit by tariff's, Trump
wants to meddle in the federal reserve rates decisions. He
said that would screw Australia and by extension US big time.
He reckons that by twenty two twenty six, it'd take
one percent off China's GDP and would take zero point
two percent off the Australians. And you can imagine it
(12:07):
would do something similar to us. So as much as
you might hate or dislike or find annoying, Karmala Harris,
she's probably the better option for us. Down here, twenty
two after five. Bryan Bridge, Big game this weekend in Wellington,
all Blacks Wallabies and there's been some bad weather. We're
joined by news talks. There'd be rugby commentator, the voice
of rugby, Elliot Smith. Elliott, good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Hey,
(12:31):
did flight's all right for you? I'm assuming you're in
Wellington this morning.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I am indeed no. We arrived in earlier on the
week and so it's actually been quite good up until
yesterday when it packed in big time and has been
raining and windy and everything else that you associate with
bad days in the Capitol. But the good news is
that sexually supposed to be all right for the game
itself tomorrow. We just have to get through a couple
of days of bad weather in the build up to
kick off tomorrow night at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So you've been the first time you've been there in
a little while. Does it look to you like everyone
says Elliott, the city It does.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Look it looks a lot quieter than it has in
the past. And look at it is actually quite noticeable
when you come in you go, oh, this isn't the
sort of bustling sort of place that it was maybe
even two or three years ago. And you know, this
sort of funky little capital that maybe it used to be.
It is quite empty in the city and not quite
(13:25):
the happening place it used to be. So you know,
maybe they'll get forty thousand and all thereabout them to
the rugby tomorrow night and the w'll revitalize things and
everyone will be happy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah'd be good to see a crowd, mind it. Hey
there's two there's a Whodo and a Jinx. There's the
twenty minute jinks, the last final twenty minutes of the game.
We don't seem to be able to score any points.
And then there's the Wellington who do we haven't won
any of the last six tests in Wellington.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah, there's a couple of things to sort out tomorrow
night from an All Blacks perspectives and there from a
recent record, first and foremost has to be getting that
twenty minute jinks it out, because this is becoming troublesome
for the All Blacks. It's becoming a real issue for
them in games. They can see yellow cards and penalties
and are drifting out of the games. Last week they
(14:11):
was still good enough to get the win against Australia,
but they need to get that sorted out first and
foremost and find some points in the last twenty and
there you would think if they get some points in
the last twenty that will mean that they get a
result and therefore lift that capital curse. Quite remarkable. They
haven't won here since twenty eighteen, a real run of
(14:31):
four results in that time, so they need to get
that sorted. Discipline is the key. They get that right.
They can get some points on the board and they'll
get things sorted. But for the fact that's having five
games in a row now across the Rugby Championship. There's
nothing sort of remarkable. It's beginning to be talked about,
beginning to be a rare issue for this all black steam.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It sounds like it. Elliott, thank you for that. We
look forward to your commentary on Saturday night. Elliot Smith,
News Talks, They'd be Rugby Commentator, the Voice of Rugby.
Twenty five after five, The.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Early edition Full the show podcast, iHeartRadio powered by News.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Talksb twenty seven after five You're on News Talks. There'b
somebody's just text and Mark says, Ryan, bring back Fozzy. Hey,
Thank goodness. I'm so relieved, not only because it's Friday,
but I'm also relieved because the UN General Assembly is
underway in New York. Nothing solves global conflict like a
good anger session. I've been to one of these before.
(15:24):
There's a lot of sitting around and talking and listening,
which is Winston Peter's pointed out yesterday is actually quite important.
Netanyahu is en route, Zelenski is there, mart mudebas the
Palestinian president, he's going put in. The Pariah obviously won't
be there. But does anybody hold out any hope that
the UN will fix the big issues will magically solve
(15:45):
all the walls and conflicts in the world. As we
reported on yesterday's show, China's launching missiles into the South Pacific.
A Japanese warship has just sailed through the Taiwan straight
for the first time ever. That's new this morning. Israel's
hammering Lebanon, not to mention Gaza, Putin's lowering the threshold
for nuclear weapons. Trump says Ukraine is dead, and delegates
(16:06):
are talking over the top of Winston Peters at the
Security Council.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Principle, when somebody's addressing you, the rest of the people
in the room keep quiet.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Some would say these challenges are ones that the world
that we can all face together, united as one, united nations.
But most of the time, if we're being real about it,
it's about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.
And most countries and their leaders know this, but off
they go off to the Big Apple to do their dance,
to thump their fists, have their say. Well, the rest
(16:40):
of the world largely ignores and carries on business as usual.
Bread Rich twenty eight. After five, We're going to talk
teachers and a second loads of feedback on that today
is not the day to have a heart attack. Please
Monday as well. The reason I say this the first
union is striking. This is Ambular's personnel and Ambulance comm
(17:02):
Center staff six hours from the start of their shifts,
both today and Monday. This is they say, despite life
preserving services still being offered, fewer people means more danger,
doesn't it. So just don't get stressed today, Avoid your
wife or your husband, avoid your kids, don't get in
traffic supermarket. Just sit in a dark room until Tuesday,
(17:25):
and then have your heart attack right twenty one after.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Five get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for
(17:49):
twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store. News Talk zid be.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Good morning have you Friday, twenty four minutes away from
six News Talk ZB We're going to get to the
teachers just before six o'clock the Truancy Plan, also the
teacher only Days. If you're a parent, you'll want to
listen into that. Also, Vincent mcavney out of the UK
Elon Musk has been uninvited to an investment summer and
he's angry and we know what happens when he's angry.
(18:24):
I don't really know. He just goes on Twitter and rants.
Lots of your texts coming in on the briefly on
the teachers, Hi, Ryan, our teacher only days normally involve
a quick meeting, then we go to the pub. Teachers
need time off too, says guy. Guy. Are you really
a teacher just trying to rack us up? This is
from David. David says the devil's in the detail with this.
(18:44):
Even if the teacher only days are taken in holidays,
the days are still credited back to teachers, meaning that
parents get their kids home earlier at the end of
the year. My wife is working until eight pm every
night as a head of department for maths. Of the
texts on this programmer out of Touch with Teaching Jobs.
(19:04):
Nine two ninety two is the number to text. We'd
love to hear from teachers, We'd love to hear from parents.
All of you are welcome. Twenty three minutes away.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
From Sex, Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We're going to our reporters around the country right now.
Callum Proctors in Duned and Cullum. Build it once and
build it right. The message from the mayor on the hospital.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's pretty much the message from everyone
in the South. Really, the government's being accused of breaking
its promise following a downgrade of the new hospital project
here to keep it within a one point eighty eight
billion dollar budget. The news has been met with widespread
condemnation and it should only fuel protest action plan for
the city tomorrow. The mare Juell's radic says it's completely
(19:44):
unacceptable and a disservice to the people of Otago and Southland.
He says the cost of not building the hospital properly
is far greater, and he believes the crowd for tomorrow's
protest actions now doubled in size.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm actually right behind them on this one. I
think it just has to be now weather for today.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
A few shellers clearing to find by this evening Southwesterly
and eleven today.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Thank you Closhe Edwards in christ to clear this Environment
Canterbury chair with the heavy lead foot.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Heavy lead foot, all right, Ryan Peter Scott resigned as
Chair of Environment Canterbury yesterday. He had already apologized and
surrendered his council vehicle because of revelations of this repeated speeding.
Now I've seen the full data set of the speeding
recorded in Scott's council issued Toyota Highlander. Of six hundred
and seventy nine incidents since the beginning of this year,
(20:36):
almost half were considered excessive, So that's at least fifteen
kilometers above the limit. Twenty one of them reached the
bar required for driver license suspension, and on a single day.
Not sure what was happening on the tenth of May,
but Scott was over the limit forty six times, including
eighteen times before five in the morning. He released a
staateman yesterday apologizing, saying that he acknowledges he has made
(20:59):
some mistake.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Didn't he go one hundred and fifty k's or more
than one hundred and fifty k's Some.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Of the speeds there were out of control?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ryan, all right, so he's gone house you weather clear.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Showers before dawn today could be snow above six hundred
meters mainly find otherwise Southwesterly's dying out and thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Have a great one. Thank you, Maxis and Wellington max
Police investigating the death of this eight month old.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Yeah, a lot we don't know about this yet. An
eight month old baby who died suddenly at an apartment
block in Newtown's Mansfield Street on Tuesday. A scene examination
has taken place with detectives a post mortem. The family
are apparently cooperating. No wider concerns for safety. It's believe
the apartment block is owned by the council. Neighbors have
(21:46):
been spoken to by officers. Residents reported seeing a distressed
mother earlier this week with a baby in her arms,
a boy or unger Tamadiki referring all questions to police.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
All right in your weather today, Max, some.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Early showers, but to find spells increasing fifteen the high
in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Thank you. You're going to the rugby tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
No, I've been to three All Blacks games in Wellington
and they haven't won any of them, so it's probably
a good thing I'm staying away.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it's six legends. They haven't won in six games
there in Wellington, so you are jinks. Max. This will
be the turning point you'll see. Thank you for that.
Let's get Toniva in Auckland, Hey, Neva, good morning, school holidays, yes,
travel chaos.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Oh and you know what here in Auckland, you know,
you know it's going to happen. So that's right at
the start of the school holidays, likely to bring with
it the busy airports around the country, particularly here in Auckland.
In New Zealand reckons that half a million travelers will
be there on their domestic network over the next couple
of weeks. Today the first day always the busiest day,
(22:46):
so they're expecting about thirty four thousand people traveling around
the country Auckland, particularly here. You know, leave a little
bit earlier. You know, there's going to be congestion and
why always but that mall as well as their triple
wherem me and but you know, like they reckon to
the weather, it's going to be well, there will be
(23:07):
rain this morning here in Auckland, but it'll be clearing,
you know, like later in the day. But particularly with
that more and all of that. I mean, you know,
like give yourself go at least an hour early.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I would, yeah, just stay home. It's interesting because the
ambulance drivers are doing a strike today. They say that
there'll still be life preserving But if you've got traffic
on the roads, you've got the more you've got the
weather you've got. The school holidays and then you've got
fewer ambulance drivers and fewer paramedics. You really don't want
to get hurt today, do you? You don't, so just
(23:36):
stay home.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Gosh, and I was going to stay happy Friday, but
it doesn't sound like a happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Doesn't get happy about it. Stay home, save lives. What
am I doing? I got a couple of things on.
I'm going to go to a friends and watch the
rugby actually, which oh nice.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Now weather for today.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Rain possibly you're heavy, but clear to partly cloud in
the afternoon. There's a bit of positivity there for Auckland
seventeen so.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
High, brilliant. Thank you, Neva, have a great weekend. It
is eighteen minutes away from six. It is quarter to six.
Year O on News Talk said, b I'm Ryan Bridge.
Yesterday we told you about China firing that ballistic missile
into the South Pacific for the first time. Today we're
learning that the Japanese have sent a warship sailed through
the Taiwan straight, first time they've ever done that, so
(24:25):
Beijing is obviously upset. Interestingly, it was accompanied by a
New Zealand and Australian naval vessel, so two naval vessels,
one from US one from across the Tasman. Judith Collins
issued a statement to reut has about this. Now she's
confirmed that one of our ships went with the Japanese,
which hasn't happened. We haven't done that since twenty seventeen. However,
(24:47):
in this statement she didn't mention the Japanese ship. She
just said a New Zealand and an Australian ship went
through the Taiwan straight. Didn't mention the fact quite a
crucial fact. You would have thought that we were joined
by the Japanese.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Fourteen to six international correspondents with ins inn Eye Insurance
Peace of Mind for New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Business Limited MCAVINI are UK and europe correspondents with US
UK police looking at former Herod's employees over the Alpha
Yid criminal charges. What's going on here?
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
This story broken by the BBC in recent days has
seen now dozens of women coming forward who are former
employees of Harrod's and we think some as well connected
to Fulham Football Club who are making severe allegations against
the late Mohammad al Fayed of sexual assault and now
of rape as well. And what we understand was that
there was an apparatus around him that specific types of
(25:43):
girls were being recruited. It's believed into the stores they
were being identified to him. His security was picking these
young women up, that they were going through some kind
of medical screening by a doctor on Harley Street for
STIs and whether or not they were virgins or not,
and then he assaulting and abusing them. Now it's understood
(26:03):
that some of these individuals have been approached by the media.
They are denying any knowledge of what was going on,
but from the accounts of some of the women, that
does not seem to be accurate. So the Metropolitan Police
we understand and now looking into whether anyone's still alive
who worked for mister fay Ed or indeed four Herods
or the doctor involved could now be prosecuted in conjunction
(26:25):
with this.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Right, the Elon Musk, the boss of everything. He's upset
at the UK government. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
The UK Investment Meeting, which is taking place in a
few weeks time, is bringing in some of the biggest
names in business and tech, but Elon Musk has not
been invited, and that is over comments that he made
on social media in the summer during our riots, where
he was spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories on Twitter. Now,
of course x he said that U was heading towards
(26:53):
civil war and he really sort of criticized new Prime
Minister kirst Armas. So the government has taken the decision
because of what he was doing doing not to invite
him and Parma, and Musk has in response told his
followers not to go to Britain because quote, Britain is
sort of releasing pedophiles and jailing those who post on
social media. Now, what he's talking about is the fact
that people that were posting on social media in the
(27:15):
summer inciting violence and hatred. A lot of those have
been arrested and they have been given sentences, and in
order to free up room in our prisons, we had
a release system people who have served a portion of
their sentence getting out. But they are not anyone who's
committed any sexual assaults or pedophile.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So he's got that slightly wrong.
Speaker 12 (27:33):
But he is sort of kicking off once again at
the government, the opposition who were in power not that
long ago, saying that they had been told by Musk
that he wanted to set up a battery plant for
Tesla cars in the UK, and this could now jeopardize this.
But in the past he's in fact criticized Brexit as
being a reason for him not building factories in the UK,
So we'll see where that one goes.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Goodness all right, Vintent, thank you for that. Vincent Mick
of any UK and Europe correspondent. It is a live
in to six Bryan Bridge. The school strip for climate
has happening today, the last day of term. David Seen
was on a warpath about it. He says kids should
be in school learning, protest in the holidays. I next Monday,
he reckons, same goes for teacher only days during term
(28:16):
breaks only please this is part of a plan to
turn around the awful attendance record. Linda Stewart is the
May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland. She's with us
this morning. Linda, good morning Mariner Ryan. What's wrong with
a teacher only day being just in the breaks?
Speaker 13 (28:32):
Well, I think there's an interesting sort of and complex
situation here because I know in our school that our
teachers are basically limping towards the end of the term.
It's been a really hard term. We've had a lot
of teacher illness. But apart from that, it's our teachers
are working really really hard in a situation where overall
(28:53):
there underresourced for the sorts of needs that we have
in our schools, and so it's been a really really
hard term. So I would expect that they need some
time to recuperate, then they are back in their classrooms
preparing for next term. So our teachers don't have long
(29:14):
holidays as some people would think.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I have how long. I'm just so weird to how long,
because it's twelve to thirteen weeks off. How many of
those would be full days of work.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
I would think that most of our teachers are back
in school and working hard for probably if you think
about the annual leave that people take during a year,
I would think that our teachers are either on professional
development or in their classrooms preparing teachers. Actually it's not
(29:48):
a job, Brian, it's a service that we do.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I'm just wondering how much not actually well understood. But
we'll tell us twelve to thirteen weeks off, how many
weeks doing full time work.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
I think it would look very different in different places,
and I think it's question for.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Me fair enough and it's different for everybody, Linda, But
can you not see the point that there is room
for teacher only days to take place in the breaks
without disrupting parents. Surely you want your students to have
as little disruption as possible.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
One of the things that happens, Ryan, is that that
already happens. There are already staff only days in the
gym breaks. But the teacher only days are often teacher
only days that are given to us by the Ministry
of Education, and then we make up. We have to
do a certain amount of days per year, and we
(30:43):
make up any days that we take that are over
and above that we make up. So I think there's
a real recivating standard.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
How how long can we just be honest? Do teachers
get more annually or more time off them than we get?
You know, we get four weeks or at most or
a couple of weeks, whatever it is. Teachers get more
than that, don't they.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
It's very interesting, Ryan, because if that was the true
case of teaching and learning in this country, you would
have cues of people who are lining up to be teachers.
At the moment, we can't get teachers in our classrooms.
We can't get relievers in our classroom. So if that
was the reality of a teacher's life, we would see
(31:28):
a very different scenario. And I think that's the issue
that we've got at the moment. There's a real lack
of understanding from some of our politicians and certainly from
some of our journalists around the reality for a teacher.
I ask you to come into our school and see
(31:49):
what our teachers do and then say that our teachers
don't deserve Monday and Tuesday of this week next week
to actually cooper some of the work that they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Linda, thank you very much for your time this morning.
Linda Stuart the May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland.
Seven to six MIC next on.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
Playing Store News talk zaid be.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Just gone five away from six. Lots of your texts.
Sometimes when you leave a job and you come back,
you're better off. There's a guy by the name of
Nome Shaziah. He left Google. He said, no, I'm going
to start up my own company. He's an AI guy
wanted to release his own chatbot anyway, his company failed.
They have just got him back. This is Google for
two point seven billion dollars. So there you go. Mike's
(32:44):
with us this morning. Hey Mike morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Happy Friday to you Ryan.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Two point seven billions.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
It's not bad day. Hey Liam Lawson this morning? Oh yes,
will for first exclusive. We're claiming he hasn't spoken to anybody,
so he'll speak.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
To us live. Has he got the He done?
Speaker 14 (33:01):
It was announced at four o'clock this morning. Oh and
we were expecting it funnily enough yesterday, but it's come today.
So all the Shugule press releases have gone out, and
Ricardo's put out a statement, and Horner's put out a statement,
and Marco has put out a statement, and Lim's put
out a statement. So he's statements up on the only
question mark if you follow F one on interested, I mean,
you can't overstate how important this is for New Zealand sport.
(33:23):
I mean, F one's the pinnacle of motor racing globally
and there's only twenty seats, so he's now got one,
which is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Congratulations to him. By the way, is I read a
headline the other day he's waiting for his first decent payday.
Does that mean he has not been paid well up
till now?
Speaker 14 (33:40):
In general, before you get to F one, you need
money to get into the sport. So he has forty
one people who back him financially to keep him afloat
until he.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Gets to F one.
Speaker 14 (33:51):
When you get to F one, which is where he's
at at the moment, is where the money starts to
clad limit. So he is right at the top of
the global motor racing scene. Quite ai money money, but
but it's motor racing money, so it's all good.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
He's with us. Mike's next. Have a great weekend, everybody,
take care all alone.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It'd be good morning. It is six after five, drag
to have your company on this Friday morning, coming up
before six teachers unions are fired up, they're angry, they're
peeved off about the truancy plan. Will tell you why
and put some questions to them. Vincent mcavnnie out of
the UK, and why today and Monday are not the
days for you to have a heart attack? The agenda
(00:36):
it is m I suppose no days a good day
to have a heart attack? Really is it? It's Friday,
the twenty seventh of September. The New York City Mayor
Eric Abram Abrams, the Democrat, has been charged with campaign finance,
bribery and conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
As the Endatement alleges Mayor Adams engaged in a long
running conspiracy in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal
campaign contributions from foreign and corporations.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Adams forgive me, pushes back. He says, not didn't happen,
won't resign The actions.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
That have unfolded over the last ten months, the elite,
the commentary, the demonizing. This did not surprise us that
we reached this day.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
To the war. Now Israel says no to a cease
fire proposal. This came from the US and France. The
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Israel Lebanon can choose a different path. This way to
shoot the sharpest relation in recent days. A diplomatic solution
is still viable.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Nittnya, who is in New York for the UN General
Assembly where he will address the Assembly tomorrow. Winston Peters
is there and call for quiet while he spoke to
the Security Council.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Maybe a third principle when somebody's addressing you, the rest
of the people in the room keep quiet.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Back here, Alliance meet workers and Timodo have been called
into a sudden meeting later this morning. It's believed the
plant will be shut down and production shifted south to
in the cargo. The move could see up to twelve
hundred jobs lost. Alliance hasn't confirmed the reason for the
meeting just yet. Eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
News and Views You Trust to start your day is
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a flying store.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
News Talk Sibby, Welcome to your Friday. I've had lots
of messages from people actually after watching that Winston Peters
clip saying, gee, I'm proud of Winston because he's sort
of like I mean, we wouldn't compare it to the
David Longey Oxford Union speech for me, but he's sort
of taking them on and just don't know how many people.
We couldn't see the camera, couldn't tell you who else
(02:52):
was talking while he was talking. But it is rude
to talk while someone else is talking, isn't it. So
there you go. We're proud of Winston Peters for standing
up to Theecurity Council, to the chit chat at the
Security Council. It has just gone on nine minutes after
five year. On News Talk said be we're going to
talk teachers' unions. Do they annoy you? I think they
do the teachers a disservice. And the reason I say
(03:14):
that is every time the government does something, they just
oppose it, no matter whether it's more funding. Remember they
gave them more funding a couple of weeks ago, and
the unions came out and said, nah, it's what this
is what you're supposed to be fighting for. Anyway. The
latest changes is to do with truancy and to do
(03:34):
with teacher only days. And on the teacher only days,
they've said the government has said do them in the holidays,
fair enough, don't do them during term time, and some
teachers have come out and said, well, that's undermining our
profession really, And on what difference will a couple of
days teacher only days make to the students learning? That
(03:55):
is the very attitude that the students have, Oh, what
does it matter if I take a day or two off,
or that the parents have. What doesn't matter if I
take a day or two off and go to Queenstown
or go to Fiji, or just not send my kids
to school, whatever the reason might be. Isn't that the
very attitude that has got us into this mess in
the first place? Because attendance rates are pretty dismal. Nine
(04:17):
two nine two is the number to text. I'd love
to keep your views on that. This morning, we are
gonna speak to Linda Stewart from may Road Primary. This
is a principal from west Auckland. She's got a lot
to say about it. Just before six, just gone ten
after five.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Ryan Bridge somewhat.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Also this morning, Elliott Smith News Talk, zibbi's Voice of Rugby.
He will be with us from Wellington. Apparently there's some
flight disruptions yesterday. Bit of wind, not surprising because it's Wellington.
New numbers out this morning on the number of kiwis
who are considering taking a second job. Not surprising. You
basically need it because income right, cost of living. The number, though,
(04:57):
is quite interesting. We'd love to hear from it. One
who's got a second job? Nine two, nine and two.
How many jobs do you have? I've got a friend
who's got three jobs. How do you even keep up
with that? Colleagues barely know him. He's a ghost at
all three jobs. But there you go, he's got three jobs.
Eleven minutes after five, you're on news Talk, said b.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
M Imply the times shame the news you need this
morning and the in depth analysis early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Swift City, New Zealand's furniture beds and applying store.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
News Talk said be thirteen after five. These teacher only days.
This is from one of our listeners this morning, Ryan,
These teacher only days. Are so difficult to handle with
both parents working. The term holidays are hard enough. Definitely
have your teacher only days during the breaks, Ryan, I
have to wonder if the yeah, this is talking about
(05:49):
something completely different but which we will get to, and
that is having a second job. There are new numbers
out this morning. In fact, I can tell you what
they are right now. So forty nine percent of KIBI
workers are considering taking on a second job in the
next twelve months. Most of those is basically because you
need more money and others. Thirty two percent said it
was to provide extra funds for discretionary spending. So you
(06:11):
want to go to the movies, you need a second job. Basically,
I have a second job, and I had to sort
of arrange it before I got here in order that
it would happen. I think because it's harder once you're
in a job and you want to do some little
side hustle or whatever, it's kind of harder to do it.
So if you can do it before you arrived, then
all power to you. Anyway, Fifty six percent believe their
(06:33):
employer would be supportive of them taking on a second job.
Elsewhere fourteen after five Brian bridge. A storm could be brewing,
as the government has agreed in principle to merge Kneewhere
and met Service to bring us a stronger weather forecasting system.
Merging the two it's been a big topic of conversation
after it was found that Met Service modeling failed to
(06:55):
predict the scale and the intensity of the Auckland Anniversary
weekend floods. The plan would see ne Ware acquire met Service,
with met Service keeping its role as out authorized meteorologist.
Philip Duncan is a weather watch head analyst and with
a communicator. He's with us this morning. Hey Philip, good morning,
Good to heo with you. Good to have you on
the show. Will these two be able to get along
(07:17):
and play nice? Do you think?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Well? I mean they're going to have to. That decision
has already been made and it's going to be a
bit of a toughs ride, I think to some of
the Met Service team, because it's probably a little bit
deflating to be merged into a brand new weather forecasting
company that sort of started to aggressively attack you about
ten years ago, which is what NIWA did and nie
(07:41):
were invested a lot of money into going after Met Service.
And they had no approval from cabinet to do this.
It was done sort of secretly and with no transparency.
So it's a bit of a weird journey to get
to this point, but the government has definitely done the
right thing because for a government to have two opposing
agencies doing weather forecasts and saying different things is a
(08:05):
recipe for a disaster.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, well, and we had one, didn't we what's it?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Is it fair to say that met Service missed that
Auckland Anniversary flood? I mean, wasn't that such a freak
event that no one really knew it was coming? Did you?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Absolutely? Yeah, the Auckland flood event was a basically a downpour,
just an isolated downpour, but it was over the top
of our largest city. But you ask farmers around New Zealand,
have you ever had a downpour that's you know, done
monumentally a big flooding, And a lot of them will
say yes at some point, not to say that that
was equal to everyone else, but you know, it was
(08:38):
a singular downpour. There was no computer modeling on the
planet that picked what actually happened, and so it was
it was a tough ride, but it is a good
example of what is happening here. You got me were
with this supercomputer that is paid for by the people,
and then you've got met service. The weather forecast is
funded by the people to do warnings, but they don't
(08:59):
share the equipment. And so you're one side saying I
can see something happening, and then when you say, well,
will you be sharing that with that service and me,
we goes no. For commercial reasons, we're not going to.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And that's the problem that's done. Where do you get
you because you're a private business, right Philip, where do
you get your data from? Is it from? Do you
buy it from Kneewa or someone?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
We couldn't afford it in that that's the reason why
this is a bit of a concern. We went to
the Commerce Commission about Meware because their pricing was astronomical.
We're talking about millions of dollars to access something that's
free in every other modern country, and so it it's
designed to keep NIEWA in power. The one positive about this, well,
so to answer your question, we were forced to basically
(09:41):
buy data from America. Now that there are two different
things with weather forecasting. One is the actual forecasting data
so the data we buy from the weather Company, which
used to be IBM, it's the most accurate in the world.
So you know, the fact that we were forced to
go down that road, that that route and end with
that data's turned out to be the best thing for us.
(10:03):
But the downside is we don't have access to historical
data and that means no one in New Zealand really
learns as a forecast. We don't learn from our mistakes
automatically because that data is missing. Yeah, so in Australia,
get something wrong, the computers will go all right, that's
what happened, this is what we forecast. Let's learn from
that mistake. But in New Zealand, me will holds on
(10:24):
to that information and says you can't have it, so
met Service doesn't learn from it. And then met Service
doesn't share the radar, so newa doesn't learn from that.
And so as a private company, we've just decided to
just say basically we're not going to get involved in
that historical stuff. We'll just focus on forecasting only.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, that can't be a good thing for the rest
of us. Philip, thank you very much for that. That's
Philip Duncan, who's a weather watchhead analyst and weather communicator
talking about this merger that is going to happen between
met Service and NEWA sounds like it about time it
did happen too. Lots of feedback on the teacher issue
run I'm a teacher and teacher only days are needed
for professional development. It is often very much required. The
(11:03):
PD opportunities often fall outside of school holidays, says aident.
Nine two nine two the number text with your messages
on that will have a principle. Just before six nineteen
up to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Five the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a player store news Talk.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Said the I'm not saying I told you so because
it's annoying when people do that. But you know how
I said that Karmala Harris would be better for New Zealand.
New Zealand would be better off I Karmala Harris won
the US election? Are instead of Donald Trump? The Australians
have actually done a look at the potential economic implications.
They've taken a look under the hood. This is by
Australian economists and former Reserve Bank Board member Warwick mckibbon.
(11:47):
He says, because China will be hit by tariff's, Trump
wants to meddle in the federal reserve rates decisions. He
said that would screw Australia and by extension US big time.
He reckons that by twenty two twenty six, it'd take
one percent off China's GDP and would take zero point
two percent off the Australians. And you can imagine it
(12:07):
would do something similar to us. So as much as
you might hate or dislike or find annoying, Karmala Harris,
she's probably the better option for us. Down here, twenty
two after five. Bryan Bridge, Big game this weekend in Wellington,
all Blacks Wallabies and there's been some bad weather. We're
joined by news talks. There'd be rugby commentator, the voice
of rugby, Elliot Smith. Elliott, good morning, Good morning, Ryan. Hey,
(12:31):
did flight's all right for you? I'm assuming you're in
Wellington this morning.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I am indeed no. We arrived in earlier on the
week and so it's actually been quite good up until
yesterday when it packed in big time and has been
raining and windy and everything else that you associate with
bad days in the Capitol. But the good news is
that sexually supposed to be all right for the game
itself tomorrow. We just have to get through a couple
of days of bad weather in the build up to
kick off tomorrow night at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
So you've been the first time you've been there in
a little while. Does it look to you like everyone
says Elliott, the city It does.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Look it looks a lot quieter than it has in
the past. And look at it is actually quite noticeable
when you come in you go, oh, this isn't the
sort of bustling sort of place that it was maybe
even two or three years ago. And you know, this
sort of funky little capital that maybe it used to be.
It is quite empty in the city and not quite
(13:25):
the happening place it used to be. So you know,
maybe they'll get forty thousand and all thereabout them to
the rugby tomorrow night and the w'll revitalize things and
everyone will be happy.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah'd be good to see a crowd, mind it. Hey
there's two there's a Whodo and a Jinx. There's the
twenty minute jinks, the last final twenty minutes of the game.
We don't seem to be able to score any points.
And then there's the Wellington who do we haven't won
any of the last six tests in Wellington.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah, there's a couple of things to sort out tomorrow
night from an All Blacks perspectives and there from a
recent record, first and foremost has to be getting that
twenty minute jinks it out, because this is becoming troublesome
for the All Blacks. It's becoming a real issue for
them in games. They can see yellow cards and penalties
and are drifting out of the games. Last week they
(14:11):
was still good enough to get the win against Australia,
but they need to get that sorted out first and
foremost and find some points in the last twenty and
there you would think if they get some points in
the last twenty that will mean that they get a
result and therefore lift that capital curse. Quite remarkable. They
haven't won here since twenty eighteen, a real run of
(14:31):
four results in that time, so they need to get
that sorted. Discipline is the key. They get that right.
They can get some points on the board and they'll
get things sorted. But for the fact that's having five
games in a row now across the Rugby Championship. There's
nothing sort of remarkable. It's beginning to be talked about,
beginning to be a rare issue for this all black steam.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
It sounds like it. Elliott, thank you for that. We
look forward to your commentary on Saturday night. Elliot Smith,
News Talks, They'd be Rugby Commentator, the Voice of Rugby.

Talksb twenty seven after five You're on News Talks. There'b
somebody's just text and Mark says, Ryan, bring back Fozzy. Hey,
Thank goodness. I'm so relieved, not only because it's Friday,
but I'm also relieved because the UN General Assembly is
underway in New York. Nothing solves global conflict like a
good anger session. I've been to one of these before.
(15:24):
There's a lot of sitting around and talking and listening,
which is Winston Peter's pointed out yesterday is actually quite important.
Netanyahu is en route, Zelenski is there, mart mudebas the
Palestinian president, he's going put in. The Pariah obviously won't
be there. But does anybody hold out any hope that
the UN will fix the big issues will magically solve
(15:45):
all the walls and conflicts in the world. As we
reported on yesterday's show, China's launching missiles into the South Pacific.
A Japanese warship has just sailed through the Taiwan straight
for the first time ever. That's new this morning. Israel's
hammering Lebanon, not to mention Gaza, Putin's lowering the threshold
for nuclear weapons. Trump says Ukraine is dead, and delegates
(16:06):
are talking over the top of Winston Peters at the
Security Council.
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Principle, when somebody's addressing you, the rest of the people
in the room keep quiet.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Some would say these challenges are ones that the world
that we can all face together, united as one, united nations.
But most of the time, if we're being real about it,
it's about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike.
And most countries and their leaders know this, but off
they go off to the Big Apple to do their dance,
to thump their fists, have their say. Well, the rest
(16:40):
of the world largely ignores and carries on business as usual.
Bread Rich twenty eight. After five, We're going to talk
teachers and a second loads of feedback on that today
is not the day to have a heart attack. Please
Monday as well. The reason I say this the first
union is striking. This is Ambular's personnel and Ambulance comm
(17:02):
Center staff six hours from the start of their shifts,
both today and Monday. This is they say, despite life
preserving services still being offered, fewer people means more danger,
doesn't it. So just don't get stressed today, Avoid your
wife or your husband, avoid your kids, don't get in
traffic supermarket. Just sit in a dark room until Tuesday,
(17:25):
and then have your heart attack right twenty one after.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Five get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for
(17:49):
twenty twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New
Zealand's Furniture Beds and a playing store. News Talk zid be.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Good morning have you Friday, twenty four minutes away from
six News Talk ZB We're going to get to the
teachers just before six o'clock the Truancy Plan, also the
teacher only Days. If you're a parent, you'll want to
listen into that. Also, Vincent mcavney out of the UK
Elon Musk has been uninvited to an investment summer and
he's angry and we know what happens when he's angry.
(18:24):
I don't really know. He just goes on Twitter and rants.
Lots of your texts coming in on the briefly on
the teachers, Hi, Ryan, our teacher only days normally involve
a quick meeting, then we go to the pub. Teachers
need time off too, says guy. Guy. Are you really
a teacher just trying to rack us up? This is
from David. David says the devil's in the detail with this.
(18:44):
Even if the teacher only days are taken in holidays,
the days are still credited back to teachers, meaning that
parents get their kids home earlier at the end of
the year. My wife is working until eight pm every
night as a head of department for maths. Of the
texts on this programmer out of Touch with Teaching Jobs.
(19:04):
Nine two ninety two is the number to text. We'd
love to hear from teachers, We'd love to hear from parents.
All of you are welcome. Twenty three minutes away.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
From Sex, Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We're going to our reporters around the country right now.
Callum Proctors in Duned and Cullum. Build it once and
build it right. The message from the mayor on the hospital.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's pretty much the message from everyone
in the South. Really, the government's being accused of breaking
its promise following a downgrade of the new hospital project
here to keep it within a one point eighty eight
billion dollar budget. The news has been met with widespread
condemnation and it should only fuel protest action plan for
the city tomorrow. The mare Juell's radic says it's completely
(19:44):
unacceptable and a disservice to the people of Otago and Southland.
He says the cost of not building the hospital properly
is far greater, and he believes the crowd for tomorrow's
protest actions now doubled in size.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm actually right behind them on this one. I
think it just has to be now weather for today.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
A few shellers clearing to find by this evening Southwesterly
and eleven today.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Thank you Closhe Edwards in christ to clear this Environment
Canterbury chair with the heavy lead foot.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Heavy lead foot, all right, Ryan Peter Scott resigned as
Chair of Environment Canterbury yesterday. He had already apologized and
surrendered his council vehicle because of revelations of this repeated speeding.
Now I've seen the full data set of the speeding
recorded in Scott's council issued Toyota Highlander. Of six hundred
and seventy nine incidents since the beginning of this year,
(20:36):
almost half were considered excessive, So that's at least fifteen
kilometers above the limit. Twenty one of them reached the
bar required for driver license suspension, and on a single day.
Not sure what was happening on the tenth of May,
but Scott was over the limit forty six times, including
eighteen times before five in the morning. He released a
staateman yesterday apologizing, saying that he acknowledges he has made
(20:59):
some mistake.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Didn't he go one hundred and fifty k's or more
than one hundred and fifty k's Some.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Of the speeds there were out of control?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Ryan, all right, so he's gone house you weather clear.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Showers before dawn today could be snow above six hundred
meters mainly find otherwise Southwesterly's dying out and thirteen degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Have a great one. Thank you, Maxis and Wellington max
Police investigating the death of this eight month old.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Yeah, a lot we don't know about this yet. An
eight month old baby who died suddenly at an apartment
block in Newtown's Mansfield Street on Tuesday. A scene examination
has taken place with detectives a post mortem. The family
are apparently cooperating. No wider concerns for safety. It's believe
the apartment block is owned by the council. Neighbors have
(21:46):
been spoken to by officers. Residents reported seeing a distressed
mother earlier this week with a baby in her arms,
a boy or unger Tamadiki referring all questions to police.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
All right in your weather today, Max, some.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Early showers, but to find spells increasing fifteen the high
in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Thank you. You're going to the rugby tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
No, I've been to three All Blacks games in Wellington
and they haven't won any of them, so it's probably
a good thing I'm staying away.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it's six legends. They haven't won in six games
there in Wellington, so you are jinks. Max. This will
be the turning point you'll see. Thank you for that.
Let's get Toniva in Auckland, Hey, Neva, good morning, school holidays, yes,
travel chaos.
Speaker 11 (22:25):
Oh and you know what here in Auckland, you know,
you know it's going to happen. So that's right at
the start of the school holidays, likely to bring with
it the busy airports around the country, particularly here in Auckland.
In New Zealand reckons that half a million travelers will
be there on their domestic network over the next couple
of weeks. Today the first day always the busiest day,
(22:46):
so they're expecting about thirty four thousand people traveling around
the country Auckland, particularly here. You know, leave a little
bit earlier. You know, there's going to be congestion and
why always but that mall as well as their triple
wherem me and but you know, like they reckon to
the weather, it's going to be well, there will be
(23:07):
rain this morning here in Auckland, but it'll be clearing,
you know, like later in the day. But particularly with
that more and all of that. I mean, you know,
like give yourself go at least an hour early.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I would, yeah, just stay home. It's interesting because the
ambulance drivers are doing a strike today. They say that
there'll still be life preserving But if you've got traffic
on the roads, you've got the more you've got the
weather you've got. The school holidays and then you've got
fewer ambulance drivers and fewer paramedics. You really don't want
to get hurt today, do you? You don't, so just
(23:36):
stay home.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Gosh, and I was going to stay happy Friday, but
it doesn't sound like a happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Doesn't get happy about it. Stay home, save lives. What
am I doing? I got a couple of things on.
I'm going to go to a friends and watch the
rugby actually, which oh nice.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Now weather for today.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Rain possibly you're heavy, but clear to partly cloud in
the afternoon. There's a bit of positivity there for Auckland
seventeen so.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
High, brilliant. Thank you, Neva, have a great weekend. It
is eighteen minutes away from six. It is quarter to six.
Year O on News Talk said, b I'm Ryan Bridge.
Yesterday we told you about China firing that ballistic missile
into the South Pacific for the first time. Today we're
learning that the Japanese have sent a warship sailed through
the Taiwan straight, first time they've ever done that, so
(24:25):
Beijing is obviously upset. Interestingly, it was accompanied by a
New Zealand and Australian naval vessel, so two naval vessels,
one from US one from across the Tasman. Judith Collins
issued a statement to reut has about this. Now she's
confirmed that one of our ships went with the Japanese,
which hasn't happened. We haven't done that since twenty seventeen. However,
(24:47):
in this statement she didn't mention the Japanese ship. She
just said a New Zealand and an Australian ship went
through the Taiwan straight. Didn't mention the fact quite a
crucial fact. You would have thought that we were joined
by the Japanese.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Fourteen to six international correspondents with ins inn Eye Insurance
Peace of Mind for New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Business Limited MCAVINI are UK and europe correspondents with US
UK police looking at former Herod's employees over the Alpha
Yid criminal charges. What's going on here?
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
This story broken by the BBC in recent days has
seen now dozens of women coming forward who are former
employees of Harrod's and we think some as well connected
to Fulham Football Club who are making severe allegations against
the late Mohammad al Fayed of sexual assault and now
of rape as well. And what we understand was that
there was an apparatus around him that specific types of
(25:43):
girls were being recruited. It's believed into the stores they
were being identified to him. His security was picking these
young women up, that they were going through some kind
of medical screening by a doctor on Harley Street for
STIs and whether or not they were virgins or not,
and then he assaulting and abusing them. Now it's understood
(26:03):
that some of these individuals have been approached by the media.
They are denying any knowledge of what was going on,
but from the accounts of some of the women, that
does not seem to be accurate. So the Metropolitan Police
we understand and now looking into whether anyone's still alive
who worked for mister fay Ed or indeed four Herods
or the doctor involved could now be prosecuted in conjunction
(26:25):
with this.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Right, the Elon Musk, the boss of everything. He's upset
at the UK government. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
The UK Investment Meeting, which is taking place in a
few weeks time, is bringing in some of the biggest
names in business and tech, but Elon Musk has not
been invited, and that is over comments that he made
on social media in the summer during our riots, where
he was spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories on Twitter. Now,
of course x he said that U was heading towards
(26:53):
civil war and he really sort of criticized new Prime
Minister kirst Armas. So the government has taken the decision
because of what he was doing doing not to invite
him and Parma, and Musk has in response told his
followers not to go to Britain because quote, Britain is
sort of releasing pedophiles and jailing those who post on
social media. Now, what he's talking about is the fact
that people that were posting on social media in the
(27:15):
summer inciting violence and hatred. A lot of those have
been arrested and they have been given sentences, and in
order to free up room in our prisons, we had
a release system people who have served a portion of
their sentence getting out. But they are not anyone who's
committed any sexual assaults or pedophile.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So he's got that slightly wrong.
Speaker 12 (27:33):
But he is sort of kicking off once again at
the government, the opposition who were in power not that
long ago, saying that they had been told by Musk
that he wanted to set up a battery plant for
Tesla cars in the UK, and this could now jeopardize this.
But in the past he's in fact criticized Brexit as
being a reason for him not building factories in the UK,
So we'll see where that one goes.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Goodness all right, Vintent, thank you for that. Vincent Mick
of any UK and Europe correspondent. It is a live
in to six Bryan Bridge. The school strip for climate
has happening today, the last day of term. David Seen
was on a warpath about it. He says kids should
be in school learning, protest in the holidays. I next Monday,
he reckons, same goes for teacher only days during term
(28:16):
breaks only please this is part of a plan to
turn around the awful attendance record. Linda Stewart is the
May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland. She's with us
this morning. Linda, good morning Mariner Ryan. What's wrong with
a teacher only day being just in the breaks?
Speaker 13 (28:32):
Well, I think there's an interesting sort of and complex
situation here because I know in our school that our
teachers are basically limping towards the end of the term.
It's been a really hard term. We've had a lot
of teacher illness. But apart from that, it's our teachers
are working really really hard in a situation where overall
(28:53):
there underresourced for the sorts of needs that we have
in our schools, and so it's been a really really
hard term. So I would expect that they need some
time to recuperate, then they are back in their classrooms
preparing for next term. So our teachers don't have long
(29:14):
holidays as some people would think.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I have how long. I'm just so weird to how long,
because it's twelve to thirteen weeks off. How many of
those would be full days of work.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
I would think that most of our teachers are back
in school and working hard for probably if you think
about the annual leave that people take during a year,
I would think that our teachers are either on professional
development or in their classrooms preparing teachers. Actually it's not
(29:48):
a job, Brian, it's a service that we do.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I'm just wondering how much not actually well understood. But
we'll tell us twelve to thirteen weeks off, how many
weeks doing full time work.
Speaker 13 (30:01):
I think it would look very different in different places,
and I think it's question for.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Me fair enough and it's different for everybody, Linda, But
can you not see the point that there is room
for teacher only days to take place in the breaks
without disrupting parents. Surely you want your students to have
as little disruption as possible.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
One of the things that happens, Ryan, is that that
already happens. There are already staff only days in the
gym breaks. But the teacher only days are often teacher
only days that are given to us by the Ministry
of Education, and then we make up. We have to
do a certain amount of days per year, and we
(30:43):
make up any days that we take that are over
and above that we make up. So I think there's
a real recivating standard.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
How how long can we just be honest? Do teachers
get more annually or more time off them than we get?
You know, we get four weeks or at most or
a couple of weeks, whatever it is. Teachers get more
than that, don't they.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
It's very interesting, Ryan, because if that was the true
case of teaching and learning in this country, you would
have cues of people who are lining up to be teachers.
At the moment, we can't get teachers in our classrooms.
We can't get relievers in our classroom. So if that
was the reality of a teacher's life, we would see
(31:28):
a very different scenario. And I think that's the issue
that we've got at the moment. There's a real lack
of understanding from some of our politicians and certainly from
some of our journalists around the reality for a teacher.
I ask you to come into our school and see
(31:49):
what our teachers do and then say that our teachers
don't deserve Monday and Tuesday of this week next week
to actually cooper some of the work that they've been doing.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Linda, thank you very much for your time this morning.
Linda Stuart the May Road Primary Principle in west Auckland.
Seven to six MIC next on.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
Playing Store News talk zaid be.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Just gone five away from six. Lots of your texts.
Sometimes when you leave a job and you come back,
you're better off. There's a guy by the name of
Nome Shaziah. He left Google. He said, no, I'm going
to start up my own company. He's an AI guy
wanted to release his own chatbot anyway, his company failed.
They have just got him back. This is Google for
two point seven billion dollars. So there you go. Mike's
(32:44):
with us this morning. Hey Mike morning, Happy Friday.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Happy Friday to you Ryan.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Two point seven billions.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
It's not bad day. Hey Liam Lawson this morning? Oh yes,
will for first exclusive. We're claiming he hasn't spoken to anybody,
so he'll speak.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
To us live. Has he got the He done?
Speaker 14 (33:01):
It was announced at four o'clock this morning. Oh and
we were expecting it funnily enough yesterday, but it's come today.
So all the Shugule press releases have gone out, and
Ricardo's put out a statement, and Horner's put out a statement,
and Marco has put out a statement, and Lim's put
out a statement. So he's statements up on the only
question mark if you follow F one on interested, I mean,
you can't overstate how important this is for New Zealand sport.
(33:23):
I mean, F one's the pinnacle of motor racing globally
and there's only twenty seats, so he's now got one,
which is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Congratulations to him. By the way, is I read a
headline the other day he's waiting for his first decent payday.
Does that mean he has not been paid well up
till now?
Speaker 14 (33:40):
In general, before you get to F one, you need
money to get into the sport. So he has forty
one people who back him financially to keep him afloat
until he.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Gets to F one.
Speaker 14 (33:51):
When you get to F one, which is where he's
at at the moment, is where the money starts to
clad limit. So he is right at the top of
the global motor racing scene. Quite ai money money, but
but it's motor racing money, so it's all good.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
He's with us. Mike's next. Have a great weekend, everybody,
take care all alone.
