The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your Property Search Simple
Used talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It'd be good morning. I'm back from a few days off.
I have missed you very much. It it's good to
be back here with you. This morning. We will head
to the Vatican this morning for the goss on a
new Pope. We'll talk about the ev charging loans that
the government stumping up. Elliott Smith on aucland FC plus.
We will head to Gavin Gray over in the UK.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Good morning to you, Monday to twenty eighth of eight
for all this car ramming into a bunch of people
in Vancouver and Canada. They reckon eleven dead, twenty injured.
It happened at a Filipino festival. These suspects in custody.
Here's Carney THEPM for now.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yesterday evening, I and all Canadians were shocked, devastated and heartbroken.
Nine people were killed than twenty were injured in what
the Vancouver Police are describing as a co ramming attack.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah. Interesting, they are not describing this as an act
of terrorism.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
An investigation is ongoing to determine how and why this
horrific attack occurred. Currently, we do not believe that there
is any active threat to Canadian.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That is, despite the timing of all of this the
eve of the Canadian election. Will get results on that tomorrow. Meanwhile,
in Iran, the massive explosion at Apport twenty eight people dead,
hundreds injured. It was huge And if you like me
and you wondered whether it was a weapons related thing,
you're sort of right. The fire in the blast came
from containers with solid fuel destined for ballistic missiles.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
There's a possibility that there were some chemicals and inflammatory
substances inside it, and they might have been mishandled. But
the more we see, the more footages are coming out
of Iran from the moment of the blast, the more
questions are being greased to.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The US Team Trump talking down the chance of using
sanctions against Russia. That's despite the fact that Trump tweeted
at the weekend that he might need to do just that.
Marco Rubio isn't keen. We don't want to get to
that point. This is still not the time.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I think what the President is saying and has been
saying for some time now, is he is aware.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That he has these options.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
People ask him about it all the time, but what
he really wants is a piece deal.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He wants to dyeing and the killing to start.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple News Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Said be Plus. Just inside the last half hour, the
Israelis have hit Bay Route with one missile. Lebanon says.
The one person has died. It was a weapons facility.
That's according to the israetings at this point. Anyway, give
you a text this morning nine two nine two would
love to hear from you. National They need to get
rid of this flagship family boost policy, which sounds like
(02:56):
quite a radical thing to say, but it's a bit
of a shambles, not just because people who thought they'd
receive it and would get it aren't getting it, but
because the paperwork the admin involved in it is so
convoluted it's almost worse than filling in a tax return.
So you'll remember back at the election, the family Boost
(03:17):
was going to help one hundred and thirty thousand households.
That's what they told us. Actually only fifty six thousand
have been helped so far, and the number getting the
full two hundred and fifty bucks a week is about
one percent apparently of what they said it would be
to begin with. These numbers came out last week and
I thought, that's a mess. But it's still got time
(03:41):
to bed in. You know. Perhaps it hasn't been advertised enough,
blah blah blah. But that's not why they should ditch it.
They should ditch it because it's so time consuming. It
was meant to be seventy five bucks a week or whatever,
paid straight into your bank account easy as Now you're
filling informs every day quarter, you're posting in receipts, you're
(04:04):
verifying your identity, you're calling call centers, you are waiting
on hold. It is the very worst of government. It
is the farthest thing from EASYPZ one two three that
you can get. The method that they said they would
use to get the money too you apparently doesn't work.
So the one they are stuck with is a bureaucrats
(04:25):
dream and a hard working, busy, tax paying families. Worst
nightmare if you went to a shop and you bought
a washing machine and then they said, oh, you press
this button and your clothes will get cleaned, and you
bring it home and you realize not only did it
only wash half the clothes that you put in the thing,
but you also have to spend an hour spinning them
(04:45):
dry with your own hands. Once you've finished, wouldn't you
go back for a refund? Of course you would. And
remember this is Nikola Willis. We're talking about the anti paperwork,
bureaucrat busting finance minister who understands hard work and busy parents.
She can't afford to keep this program running in its
(05:05):
current form any more than parents can afford to put
their kids into childcare. Right and Bridge eleven minutes after
five year on News Talk SVB. Next we're going to
talk about the ev charging. So the government is scrapping
the current program they've got, but they're doing some interest
free loans for the private sector to get your Yondai
(05:25):
iconics charged on your road trips. You're on News Talk
SEVB eleven after five.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
Property Search Simple.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
News TALKSB five thirteen on News Talk SAIB. So this
five hundred extra cops that the government has promised by November,
and yes it is an ambitious target, and we're beginning
to understand just how ambitious it is. Nothing wrong with
having ambition, of course, it means you might actually get
somewhere in life. But the problem in today's front page
of the Herald story is this idea that they lowering
(06:00):
the standards in order to make that happen. So this
story in the Herald, and look, there's a lot of
guff in here, but the basis of it, there are
three police officers that are aware of who have managed
to get around to skirt around the fact they failed
the physical test. This is your two point four k run,
your press ups, your vertical jump examination. Three officers have
(06:24):
apparently got around doing this, you know, two busy eating donuts.
I don't know, but they've got around doing this, and
labors up in arms, as you can imagine, the Police
Association up in arms. So they've ordered a review over
the last six months. Basically, the story needs a bit
more detail because three does not a scandal mate at
this point, fourteen after five, so the government very busy
(06:44):
weekend for them actually going to dish out interest free
loans to private companies to build more ev charging stations
around the country. This is so if you've got a
leaf or you've got an iconic, you can plug in
and carry on your merry way. It replaces the current
grant skin the government putting sixty eight and a half
million dollars forward as interest free loans for companies to
(07:05):
build the infrastructure. Kirsten Corson is the chair of Drive
Electric with me this morning. Kirston, Good morning, Good morning Ryan.
Great to have you on. Now, is this going to
change the game?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Well, we do need something to change the game because
we're definitely falling behind the OECD and it is positive
to see the government are still committed to the ten
thousand charges by twenty thirty, which is quite a target.
So we're hoping it can be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But you sound a bit cautious.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Well, it's a new model. So the majority of OECD
countries have grant based funding and they do it because
it works. So for every dollar that the government invests,
they get around three dollars plus of economic benefit. You know,
it's a proven model. Where this is a new model
and we've got eighty six hundred charges to get in
the ground by twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I guess the government's argument will be Well, they are better.
The private businesses will be better at doing it than
anyone else will. What about how easy is it to
actually get the charging systems and plugged into the grid.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Well, that's another challenge for us. It's not like an
ultra fast broadband rollout. Most OCD countries have around ten
lines companies, whereas New Zealand's got twenty nine. So twenty
nine lines companies with different pricing models, with different processes,
and there's a lack of visibility of network capacity as well,
(08:34):
so it's a lot harder to roll out charging infrastructure
than it is ultra fast broadband.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
What is the difference between different regions if you've got
a different lines company, what is the potential difference and cost?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Well, it can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. So
it may take you six weeks in one region to
figure out if there's enough network capacity a transformer, but
it might take you three months in a different region.
So you know, it's quite challenging for the charge point operators.
And I guess another question for US is how this
(09:13):
program support rural New Zealand and our provinces because it's
really appealing for our charge point operators to install our
charges public charges in the big cities where there's a
really strong economic return, but it's a little bit more
challenging to get the economic return in our provinces right
(09:36):
the lower population base.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
A really good point, Kristin. Really appreciate your analysis. This morning.
Kirsten Couson's chair of Drive Electric with us. It is
eighteen minutes after five. Y're on News Talk SEDB Next
Elliott Smith and those Auckland FC players quite happy with
themselves this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Bryan Bridge on the edition where One Room Make Your
Property Search Simple used Talk.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
ZB five twenty. Somebody's text in saying in Hamilton the
Mills Street Pack and Save has removed their public charges,
which is just devastating. Now let's get to Alix Smith's
sport Ellick, good morning morning, Ryan, Good to see you. Now, look,
probably a lot of people know the answer to this question,
but I'm wondering what you what does that actually mean
to win an a league, minor premiership.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh, you get a bit of silverware, a nice place
and you're crowned for the best team over the course
of the regular season. But what it is great Let's
let's not get me wrong with you on that front,
but you're only gonna remember the ultimate winner after the playoffs.
So Aukland to see you put themselves in the best
possible position of still at one game of the regular
season to go. Then they're into the playoffs and we
(10:40):
hope that ends in a Grand final victory. The A
League's kind of unique in terms of the footballing world elsewhere,
you know, like Liverpool's about to do this morning. Winning
the Premier League, you finish top of the regular season.
There's only a regular season. You finish top of that,
you win the Premier League. Yeah, but the A League
probably because from this part of the world and we've
got the NROL finals and the Super Agua Finals and
everything like that, we're not used to a top of
(11:01):
the log sort of format. So they play on and
have the finals after that.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So basically we've done the business. We're at top of
the thing heading into the playoffs and then hopefully into
the Grand Final. That's right, which would be lovely. Now
the Warriors currently sitting fourth on the ladder.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
Yeah, this is a very good start for them, and
a couple of good wins that are Rye Broncos and
then the Knights on Anzac Day and christ Chooch. You
look at the NRL this year and it's a competition
full of upsets. The Panthers, four time winners, back at
the bottom of the league. The Storm, as always are
up there, but there's a whole mix of teams in
the top eight at the moment that are jostling for position,
(11:36):
and the Warriors are right up there and it feels
like they can bank a few more wins. They've got
the Cowboys away at the Magic Round this weekend. There's
gonna be a tough match to the Cowboys in the
top eight as well, but they're building quite nicely. I
think they had that blip against the Storm a few
weeks back where they were completely terrible, but they seem
to have found their rhythm a little bit and in
the top four. It's a good spot to be at
(11:57):
this point of the season. And then some of the
teams start losing orange players in a few weeks time,
and that creates a whole new dynamic in the league
and teams become a little bit weaker. So ook the Warriors.
They picked up a couple of wins on a bit
of a role in the NRAL.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Pastic look We're looking quite good across the board, yeah, apart.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
From the Blues and the Super Rugby team quite honest.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
So we've got the Chiefs and the Crusaders at the top,
that's right.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
And it feels like in a couple of weeks time
they're going to meet in a regular season game in
christ Jews that that could well decide who gets top
of the seedings for the playoffs. And we know how
important that is in Super Rugby. You play at home,
you're more likely to win. The Hurricanes getting into the
top six over the course of the weekend, so they're
right still in the mix. But the Blues, this title
(12:40):
defense of theirs is going backwards. That are rated not
It's very poor against the Reds on the weekend. They
can still sneak into the playoffs for line, but hard
to see them making a run towards the title from here.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Can't see it all right, Elliott, great stuff, good see
as always Alex Smith zby Sport Voice of Rugby. But
this morning on Everything twenty three minutes after five Here
on News Talks, Ryan regular listener, Good morning, nice to
hear from you, Michael. I disagree with you, which is fine,
Michael you can do that. I disagree with your view
that only three confirmed recruits so far have skipped the
(13:13):
physical test. Being trained didn't meet the physical standards required.
Policing in twenty twenty five is a physically and mentally
demanding vocation. As a retired detective sergeant, it is imperative
all work colleagues have met the physical competency test. Operational
requirements can be compromised if the colleague at your shoulder
hadn't met their PCT. I completely agree with you. All
(13:37):
I'm saying is, at this point, does three recruits out
of and there's one hundred in the training ring wing,
Remember they've increased it from eighty two one hundred. Does
three recruits somehow getting around the PCT a scandal make
at this point? I don't think it does. Twenty four
after five News Talks, I've been the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Early edition full show podcast on iHeart Radio how It
by News Talk ZIB.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Five on News TALKSIB the White House Correspondence going to
happen over the weekend, and it was quite boring because
there were no comedians and no one was funny, and
Trump wasn't there. Of course, he was off at the
Pope's funerals. So it was a bit boring. But finally
the White House press pack has come around to the
idea that maybe they got it wrong when it came
to Joe Biden being well losing his marbles while in
(14:25):
charge of nuclear weapons. Here is an Axios reporter who
won an award basically giving his colleagues a suit.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
(14:54):
missed a lot of this story and some people trust
us least because of it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Ran yeah, say that again. Twenty seven after five. Now
there was a priest on the news last night talking
about homeless people the cost of buying a house in
New Zealand. This priest, who was naturally dressed in all
the garb, the robe, the hatch, the works, then mentioned
the fact that there were marina berths down at the
waterfront bursting at the seams with super yachts. And I thought,
(15:21):
what an odd thing to say. I know, the church's
role is to help the poor, and they do that,
and I've seen them do that and it's fantastic. But
to then also blame the wealthy for not helping the poor?
Is that helping or is that politics? The Church the
state had been clashing of late. In case you've missed it,
we all saw those quote faith leaders come out during
(15:43):
the Treaty Principle's Bill and give David Seymour a bollocking.
What exactly is the endgame here? That's my question. Are they,
like the good Bishop Brian Tummocky, keen on getting into
Parliament themselves. The Salvation Army does a report every year
looking at the wealth of billionaires. There's a lot of
finger pointing and tisking about those who've accumulated a lot
(16:04):
of wealth, but what about those who've got a lot
but also give a lot. For a good example, we
need look no further than the Catholic Church itself. It
is one of the largest and wealthiest organizations in the world.
The Vatican, because of its small population, the eighteenth wealthiest
nation per capita. They boast a huge real estate portfolio.
(16:27):
Hard to work out exactly what they're worth, but they
reckon somewhere between seventy three and two hundred and fifty
billion dollars, so more than the combined wealth of all
the billionaires that this country's ever known. To be honest,
none of this bothers me. I believe everybody should believe
whatever God they want to believe in, whatever after life
they want to believe in. That is religious freedom. Tithe
(16:49):
to your heart's content, preach till your blue in the face.
I respect your right to think and pray as you want.
But if you're going to preach for the poor and
against the wealthy, perhaps getting your own house in order
might be a good place to start. Least you come
across a tad hypocritical Ryan Bridge, twenty nine after five,
(17:11):
You're on news Talks. Heb lots more to come, including
a new poll out from CNN this morning, but a
bad news for old Trump. You're on news Talk set B.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
The news you need this morning and the in depth
analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make
your Property search simple News Talk sib.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I'll leave you everything now. We wake up from a dream.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
Well baby, what burst that?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It is twenty four minutes away from sex. You're on
news Talk, said B. This is Lord her new single
that she's really over the weekend too much banfim and
she's already hit number one. She is a great artist.
You cannot deny it. I mean likely music or hat music.
She's number one on the US Spotify charts and number
two in New Zealand. So well done Lord this morning,
(18:15):
lots of you. It seems I was preaching to the
choir with my comments earlier about the Catholic Church. You know,
just coming out and say having a crack at wealthy
people for not helping the poor. Is that on brand
when you are as an organization quite wealthy yourselves. Ryan
agreed with you. I caught that statement on the news
last night. My immediate thought was that was political from
(18:37):
the church. Another says the Catholic wealth is truly astounding.
Envy is the subject of one of the commandments, is
it not? And Michael says, very hypocritical from them. I mean,
I don't want to I'm not bashing the Catholic Church.
I'm just saying if you are going to go after wealth,
then you know you've got to accept that you guys
(18:57):
on paper at least pretty wealthy yourself. Twenty three away
from sex Bran to just go to our reporters around
the country. We'll start with Callum Proctor in Donedan Callen,
good morning morning, right, you've got news of a fundraise
that we're raising some pretty serious cash.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
This is for a man critically injured after falling from
a Queenstown balcony over the east to break. Give a
little page has been set up. More than fifty thousand
dollars raised already for him after emergency services were called
to a holiday home. This was on Frankton Road. A
glass railing the man was leaning on collapsed. He was
herelifted to christ Each Hospital and remains in a stable condition.
(19:36):
This give a little page for the man and his
family described the incident as a freak accident while on holiday.
Police inquiries are ongoing in the Queenstown Lakes District Councils
also carrying out its own inquiries.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
All right, callum, how's here?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Weather in Dunedin fine to start start off with, but
occasional rain this afternoon at the high today eighteen brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Thank you Claires and christ It this morning clear. Good
morning to you. Good morning. Another look into the murder
of a christ Church woman. This is the woman who
was killed by her neighbor.
Speaker 11 (20:05):
Yes, that's right, Ryan. Look, Joseph Brider is the man
responsible for this. He was jailed for life after not
only murdering but also violating Juliana Herrera at her home
in Addington back in January twenty twenty two. The convicted
rapist had only been released on parole seventy two days beforehand.
Now we've learned over time that the Department of Corrections
(20:26):
had no reported concerns about Rider before he moved into
the flat, adjoining Herrera. He then quickly became obsessed with
her and subsequently killed her. A coronial in quest will
start today. This is to find out if anything went wrong,
specifically with the killer's release and management in the community,
with the hope, of course, to prevent similar tragedies in
(20:46):
the future.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Clear, how's your weather today?
Speaker 11 (20:49):
Looks pretty nice in christ Church fine for much of
the day. A spot or two of light rain a
bit later southeast developing later to the Hi though twenty
two brilliant.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you. Max, isn't going to Max? Good morning? Good morning. Yeah,
you've got a story about boy races in Wellington. Can
I guess where they were? Well? Yeah, but I think
it might be wrong. This time. But go ahead. Ah,
oh okay, well this look good. Are they in the hut?
Are they in cart or are they in Kapadi?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Okay, that's a pretty broad spectrum. Well yeah, i'd actually
written into my script. Typically the worst of this problem
has been in the upper hut around Wallaceville, but this
time not so wided Apple pottydoer. Actually police really talking
up their efforts cracking down on They call them anti
social road users, but that could really mean anyone. Boy
(21:38):
races and wide and apple potty doer. Cars seized by
bailiffs over the weekend, impounded fines, handed out three people
over the legal alcohol limits, an arrest for driving while suspended.
Good work by police.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, absolutely, Max. How's your with it today? Mostly fine?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Northerlyes are peaking in the low twenties.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Great good structure, neighbors here high neevas.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
How was your little we holiday?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Feel like I've been away for a year? I bet
ye it was lovely.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Well, I was here working the three days in between.
We did miss you, he thought, Oh, look at him holiday,
No you do. You did deserve it that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh it was lovely to be away, but lovely to
be back too. And good to see you. Now. A
lack of support for businesses off Auckland's Queen Street during construction.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
Yes, this is you know, that same old story again.
You know the intersections Victoria Wellesley Streets peppered with all
those you know, the dug up footpaths, and the projects
like the water care wastewater upgrades and of course the
City rail Link. Now Mike Lee Auckland councilor, he says,
when one project finishes, I've got to do another one.
They've just got to get it all done. But the
(22:43):
pedestrian counts, retail activities continued to decline year on year.
This has been going on for years and so obviously
the businesses are not happy about that. Vive Beck Heart
of the City Chief Executive, she's come out again. She's saying, look,
you know, people there shouldn't be suffering due to these
public projects. Has been little help. And you know she's
been calling again for government support for businesses for years.
(23:06):
Construction has been endless, now nearly a decade. I was
gonna say, can you believe it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But yes, you go down there and it's like, yeah,
well you don't go down there.
Speaker 10 (23:14):
No, Well that's right, and that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Now, Neva. How's Auckland's wing rain.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, twenty two? Is the
high still warm?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Very long? Actually I woke up last night in the sweat.
Oh my god, it was because of the weather. I
should say, I can't believe it.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
You're absolutely right because it's nearly May, and I mean
today tomorrow Auckland we've got highs of twenty two and
I just to clear on christ Church saying twenty two Wednesday,
I have twenty three, for goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh thank you here Conne beyond eighteen minutes away from
six year. On News Talk c B, we're going to
get to Gavin Graham the UK plus the Vatican.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It's all ahead, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
peace of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It is called It's the Sexier. On News Talk, say
Liverpool have just won the Premier League. Over in the UK,
we're going to get to Devin Gray are UK europe correspondent,
Gaven good morning.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Run Now we will come back to Liverpool in a second.
But you've got news of a counter terrorism operation by police.
What's happening here?
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Yeah, it's in Yorkshire in the northeast of England, and
it is said that three people have been taken to
hospital having been found injured in Leeds in the Headingley area,
famous of course for its cricket and being quite a
sort of well to do area of the city of Leeds.
And of those three who have been taken to hospital,
(24:38):
one is the suspected attacker, and it is said that
one of them has been seriously injured and the attack
was with a crossbow. But the reason it appears that
counter terrorism police are investigating this incident is that alongside
the crossbow they also found a firearm recovered at the
scene and the thirty eight year old suspect said has
(25:00):
suffered a self inflicted injury. Now, as I said, we
have few details about the two victims. One is now
thought to be out of hospital, the other is still
in hospital. And this happened along something very very popular
called the Otly Run pub crawl route. It's often very
very popular with students who go on a run, stopping
(25:21):
off at a number of different pubs, often about half
a dozen different pubs on the way and often four sponsorships.
So obviously the police investigate in the motive and indeed
questioning the suspected attack.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Gavin Marks and Spencer they had that cyber attech last
week in but they're still struggling to sort of get
to grips with that.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
Yeah, very much so, Ryan So. Marks and Spencer the
absolute sort of the stalwater of the high street in
the UK selling food and clothing. It shares fell dramatically
by five percent. They have picked up a little bit
after it was announced they've been subjected to a cyber incident,
and it really is struggling a week on to get
(26:00):
back to normal. Indeed, it is now saying that it
has had to cancel its Click and Collect was struggling
as well with people using contactless payments as well as
those paying with gift cards. Now things have pretty much
got back a lot of the way, but I'm afraid
since it's suspended online ordering, Marks and Spencer's has been
responding to social media posts advisor customers that these problems
(26:23):
still persist. The share market has gone down five percent
following this, as I said, but they have picked up
a bit. No news on what that cyber attack actually
is or what it entailed. It's not the big first
of the big high street giants to fall foul of this.
Morrison's another one just before Christmas, serious it problems at
(26:44):
Barkley's Bank as well, and then in February several banks,
notably Lloyd's Banking, facing outages leaving businesses unable to pay staff,
all because of cyber attacks and certainly a great problem
for big businesses here, plus the fact they may even
be by the regulator for data and keeping data if
(27:05):
it was deemed that they have not been holding it securely.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Gavin, and you are Liverpool man. I'm just looking at
a live feed from Sky News and it's a sea
of red. They are very excited to be winning the
Premier League.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
I'm a Tottenham fan.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
No good for me. Oh no, We'll leave it there, Gavin.
Thank you. Kevin Gray our UK you have correspondent. It
is twelve minutes away from six Bridge Caple. Politics well
underway now that Pope Francis has been laid to rest
your purists, they argue the Vatican's gone but woke. Too
much focus on inclusion and diversity, not enough talk about
(27:40):
the Bible and how it can be quite well strict
actually on a lot of social stuff. The conclave must
start by May tenth, at the latest. Our Rome correspondent
Joe McKenna is at the Vatican for Us this morning. Joe,
welcome to the show. Hello Ryan, how are you very well?
Thank you and nice to have you Vatican for us.
(28:01):
So this is all starting to get a bit political.
What actually happens now and when does the conclave have
to start?
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Well, the politics, of course is fascinating. It's very medieval.
After the pope's death, the conclave has to start within
fifteen to two days, so we're expecting that to get underway,
probably Monday or Tuesday next week.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What do you rate the chances of them going even
more progressive than Francis was, or do you think it's
going to go the other way and Elena bit more conservative.
Speaker 13 (28:36):
Look, it's an interesting time and the conservatives were very angry,
very upset with Pope Francis, even though I was so
loved and so popular. You're right, as you said earlier,
there was a concern that he was too ambiguous on
things like gay rights and the role of women in
the church, and whether divorces should be allowed to have communion.
(28:57):
They didn't like it. They didn't like him being buried
in a very simple coffin. They didn't like his informality.
They didn't like the fact that he gave up all
the traditional robes and the papal apartment and decided to
live out the back in a little tiny room in
the cars of Santa Mata. So these conservatives are pushing
(29:19):
back big time, and there is a lot of toing
and frowing going on behind the scenes right now. The
other thing that's interesting. I ran into a Vatican insider
last night who had a senior position no longer, and
he told me off the record, the Italians want to
see a European pope. They want to see an Italian pope.
And even though the Italians don't have a huge number
(29:41):
in terms of the total electors, there are only about
sixteen Italians, he said, they have enormous influence. They see
it as a family business, and they didn't like the
fact that some outsider came in from Argentina and shook
things up.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
That's me jo. It's interesting because there's a hundred I mean,
just the family business and Italian.
Speaker 14 (30:03):
It's a dangerous combination.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Dangerous combination. Anyway, the one hundred and thirty cardinals who
were there, I was reading yesterday that you know. Obviously,
France has appointed a lot of them, and a lot
of them don't you know each other. They've never meet
each other before. They're from far flowing parts of the world.
This is almost going to be like the first day
of school when they get together.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Yeah, it's a very good way of putting it. They've
had a couple of meetings already, but things will really
crank up tomorrow. They've got this old fashioned thing where
they don't really like to say too much before the
funeral itself, but things will really crank up. And as
you said, you know, there are a lot of newcomers.
They're being sworn in before they have what's called these
(30:45):
congregations where it's really an opportunity for the players to
showcase what their papacy would be like. And that's what
really happened with Pope Francis when he gave a speech
way back in twenty thirteen. It really moved the cardinals
to get behind him because he had a vision for
(31:05):
how he wanted to take the church. Not all of
them were happy with what happened, but that's really what
happened behind closed doors. And so we've had some of
the cardinals meeting, not all of them there that will
step up tomorrow. And don't forget the cardinals that cannot
vote in the conclave also take part in these meetings.
So you've got the elderly cardinals over the age of
(31:28):
eighty who will also have some influence on the newcomers
in terms of the direction of the conclave.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Joe, thank you very much for that. Great to have
you on the show. As always, Joe mckinna, our Rome
correspondent at the Vatican with the Inside Goths. It's eight
to Sex News Talk Zip be Mike next.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room, Make Your Property
Surgeon Symbol News Talks It.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Sex to Sex News Talks said, be quick seeing in
pul for you this morning. Trump support taking a hat
forty percent approval rate. That's the lowest for any newly
elected president in their first one hundred days since Eisenhower.
It's down four points for Trump since March and down
seven points since February. But I mean, you know, he
is shaking things up, isn't he. And human beings don't
(32:16):
like change, and he's making a lot of changes. There
is nothing stable about his first one hundred days. That's
for sure, five to six now, and Mike see him,
Good morning, Mike, very good morning.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
I don't think he cares either. No, it's in the
beauty of the American system, isn't it. Once you get
your second term, it's over and you can do whatever
you want pretty much.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And well, I mean he's got to worry about the
midterms next.
Speaker 14 (32:35):
Yeah, he does it, but that'll that will be his undoing,
is my prediction. Having said that, he is claiming also
this morning that he's done two hundred trade deals. I
saw that, and in the ensuing couple of days since
he's announced the TWIFF performs.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Two hundreds of nonsense.
Speaker 14 (32:52):
Well, there's that's more deals than there are countries.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I mean, unless it's I don't know anyone to wake that.
I don't know I had.
Speaker 14 (32:59):
Yeah, so you can have more than one deal with
the country. I don't know how that. I don't know
how that works.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, I mean he's probably got an idea of what
he wants from deals in those countries. I'm sure she's
got anything done.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
Does I saw were you watching the funeral?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Did you watch the fields?
Speaker 14 (33:12):
I saw the Zolensky. Thing happen before it happened, because
did you notice if you were watching the start very closely.
So they go round the back and they come out
the front, down onto where the crowd is. And I
saw Trump disappeared for ages, and you thought, so he
went in the side. He was there with a coffin.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Where did he go?
Speaker 14 (33:30):
And I thought, hang on, something's happened here. And then
right behind him was Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
There you go, and I thought somebody knew something was up.
Speaker 14 (33:36):
The Catholic church they move in mysterious ways. They had
the chairs set.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You see, it was a pretty amazing, incredible. Did you
see the Macron come in and Starma come in and
try and get there and mcron always the French, always
do this, but put his hand on Zolensky's shoulder in
a very touchy touching, very touchy, very touchy, hands off him.
Speaker 14 (33:59):
Luxan was there. He's with us by the way as
he wings his way home to the country.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
He'll be with us, Mike with you next see to morrow,
have a great Dame God, no reason not to celebrate, baby,
I'm just worn away.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
For more from early edition with Ryan Bridge, listen live
to news talks. It'd be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
early edition with one roof make your Property Search Simple
Used talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It'd be good morning. I'm back from a few days off.
I have missed you very much. It it's good to
be back here with you. This morning. We will head
to the Vatican this morning for the goss on a
new Pope. We'll talk about the ev charging loans that
the government stumping up. Elliott Smith on aucland FC plus.
We will head to Gavin Gray over in the UK.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Good morning to you, Monday to twenty eighth of eight
for all this car ramming into a bunch of people
in Vancouver and Canada. They reckon eleven dead, twenty injured.
It happened at a Filipino festival. These suspects in custody.
Here's Carney THEPM for now.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yesterday evening, I and all Canadians were shocked, devastated and heartbroken.
Nine people were killed than twenty were injured in what
the Vancouver Police are describing as a co ramming attack.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah. Interesting, they are not describing this as an act
of terrorism.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
An investigation is ongoing to determine how and why this
horrific attack occurred. Currently, we do not believe that there
is any active threat to Canadian.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
That is, despite the timing of all of this the
eve of the Canadian election. Will get results on that tomorrow. Meanwhile,
in Iran, the massive explosion at Apport twenty eight people dead,
hundreds injured. It was huge And if you like me
and you wondered whether it was a weapons related thing,
you're sort of right. The fire in the blast came
from containers with solid fuel destined for ballistic missiles.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
There's a possibility that there were some chemicals and inflammatory
substances inside it, and they might have been mishandled. But
the more we see, the more footages are coming out
of Iran from the moment of the blast, the more
questions are being greased to.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The US Team Trump talking down the chance of using
sanctions against Russia. That's despite the fact that Trump tweeted
at the weekend that he might need to do just that.
Marco Rubio isn't keen. We don't want to get to
that point. This is still not the time.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I think what the President is saying and has been
saying for some time now, is he is aware.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That he has these options.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
People ask him about it all the time, but what
he really wants is a piece deal.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He wants to dyeing and the killing to start.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Make your Property Search Simple News Talk.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Said be Plus. Just inside the last half hour, the
Israelis have hit Bay Route with one missile. Lebanon says.
The one person has died. It was a weapons facility.
That's according to the israetings at this point. Anyway, give
you a text this morning nine two nine two would
love to hear from you. National They need to get
rid of this flagship family boost policy, which sounds like
(02:56):
quite a radical thing to say, but it's a bit
of a shambles, not just because people who thought they'd
receive it and would get it aren't getting it, but
because the paperwork the admin involved in it is so
convoluted it's almost worse than filling in a tax return.
So you'll remember back at the election, the family Boost
(03:17):
was going to help one hundred and thirty thousand households.
That's what they told us. Actually only fifty six thousand
have been helped so far, and the number getting the
full two hundred and fifty bucks a week is about
one percent apparently of what they said it would be
to begin with. These numbers came out last week and
I thought, that's a mess. But it's still got time
(03:41):
to bed in. You know. Perhaps it hasn't been advertised enough,
blah blah blah. But that's not why they should ditch it.
They should ditch it because it's so time consuming. It
was meant to be seventy five bucks a week or whatever,
paid straight into your bank account easy as Now you're
filling informs every day quarter, you're posting in receipts, you're
(04:04):
verifying your identity, you're calling call centers, you are waiting
on hold. It is the very worst of government. It
is the farthest thing from EASYPZ one two three that
you can get. The method that they said they would
use to get the money too you apparently doesn't work.
So the one they are stuck with is a bureaucrats
(04:25):
dream and a hard working, busy, tax paying families. Worst
nightmare if you went to a shop and you bought
a washing machine and then they said, oh, you press
this button and your clothes will get cleaned, and you
bring it home and you realize not only did it
only wash half the clothes that you put in the thing,
but you also have to spend an hour spinning them
(04:45):
dry with your own hands. Once you've finished, wouldn't you
go back for a refund? Of course you would. And
remember this is Nikola Willis. We're talking about the anti paperwork,
bureaucrat busting finance minister who understands hard work and busy parents.
She can't afford to keep this program running in its
(05:05):
current form any more than parents can afford to put
their kids into childcare. Right and Bridge eleven minutes after
five year on News Talk SVB. Next we're going to
talk about the ev charging. So the government is scrapping
the current program they've got, but they're doing some interest
free loans for the private sector to get your Yondai
(05:25):
iconics charged on your road trips. You're on News Talk
SEVB eleven after five.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
News and Views you Trust to start your day. It's
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof make your
Property Search Simple.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
News TALKSB five thirteen on News Talk SAIB. So this
five hundred extra cops that the government has promised by November,
and yes it is an ambitious target, and we're beginning
to understand just how ambitious it is. Nothing wrong with
having ambition, of course, it means you might actually get
somewhere in life. But the problem in today's front page
of the Herald story is this idea that they lowering
(06:00):
the standards in order to make that happen. So this
story in the Herald, and look, there's a lot of
guff in here, but the basis of it, there are
three police officers that are aware of who have managed
to get around to skirt around the fact they failed
the physical test. This is your two point four k run,
your press ups, your vertical jump examination. Three officers have
(06:24):
apparently got around doing this, you know, two busy eating donuts.
I don't know, but they've got around doing this, and
labors up in arms, as you can imagine, the Police
Association up in arms. So they've ordered a review over
the last six months. Basically, the story needs a bit
more detail because three does not a scandal mate at
this point, fourteen after five, so the government very busy
(06:44):
weekend for them actually going to dish out interest free
loans to private companies to build more ev charging stations
around the country. This is so if you've got a
leaf or you've got an iconic, you can plug in
and carry on your merry way. It replaces the current
grant skin the government putting sixty eight and a half
million dollars forward as interest free loans for companies to
(07:05):
build the infrastructure. Kirsten Corson is the chair of Drive
Electric with me this morning. Kirston, Good morning, Good morning Ryan.
Great to have you on. Now, is this going to
change the game?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Well, we do need something to change the game because
we're definitely falling behind the OECD and it is positive
to see the government are still committed to the ten
thousand charges by twenty thirty, which is quite a target.
So we're hoping it can be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
But you sound a bit cautious.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Well, it's a new model. So the majority of OECD
countries have grant based funding and they do it because
it works. So for every dollar that the government invests,
they get around three dollars plus of economic benefit. You know,
it's a proven model. Where this is a new model
and we've got eighty six hundred charges to get in
the ground by twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I guess the government's argument will be Well, they are better.
The private businesses will be better at doing it than
anyone else will. What about how easy is it to
actually get the charging systems and plugged into the grid.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
Well, that's another challenge for us. It's not like an
ultra fast broadband rollout. Most OCD countries have around ten
lines companies, whereas New Zealand's got twenty nine. So twenty
nine lines companies with different pricing models, with different processes,
and there's a lack of visibility of network capacity as well,
(08:34):
so it's a lot harder to roll out charging infrastructure
than it is ultra fast broadband.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
What is the difference between different regions if you've got
a different lines company, what is the potential difference and cost?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Well, it can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. So
it may take you six weeks in one region to
figure out if there's enough network capacity a transformer, but
it might take you three months in a different region.
So you know, it's quite challenging for the charge point operators.
And I guess another question for US is how this
(09:13):
program support rural New Zealand and our provinces because it's
really appealing for our charge point operators to install our
charges public charges in the big cities where there's a
really strong economic return, but it's a little bit more
challenging to get the economic return in our provinces right
(09:36):
the lower population base.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
A really good point, Kristin. Really appreciate your analysis. This morning.
Kirsten Couson's chair of Drive Electric with us. It is
eighteen minutes after five. Y're on News Talk SEDB Next
Elliott Smith and those Auckland FC players quite happy with
themselves this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Bryan Bridge on the edition where One Room Make Your
Property Search Simple used Talk.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
ZB five twenty. Somebody's text in saying in Hamilton the
Mills Street Pack and Save has removed their public charges,
which is just devastating. Now let's get to Alix Smith's
sport Ellick, good morning morning, Ryan, Good to see you. Now, look,
probably a lot of people know the answer to this question,
but I'm wondering what you what does that actually mean
to win an a league, minor premiership.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Oh, you get a bit of silverware, a nice place
and you're crowned for the best team over the course
of the regular season. But what it is great Let's
let's not get me wrong with you on that front,
but you're only gonna remember the ultimate winner after the playoffs.
So Aukland to see you put themselves in the best
possible position of still at one game of the regular
season to go. Then they're into the playoffs and we
(10:40):
hope that ends in a Grand final victory. The A
League's kind of unique in terms of the footballing world elsewhere,
you know, like Liverpool's about to do this morning. Winning
the Premier League, you finish top of the regular season.
There's only a regular season. You finish top of that,
you win the Premier League. Yeah, but the A League
probably because from this part of the world and we've
got the NROL finals and the Super Agua Finals and
everything like that, we're not used to a top of
(11:01):
the log sort of format. So they play on and
have the finals after that.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So basically we've done the business. We're at top of
the thing heading into the playoffs and then hopefully into
the Grand Final. That's right, which would be lovely. Now
the Warriors currently sitting fourth on the ladder.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
Yeah, this is a very good start for them, and
a couple of good wins that are Rye Broncos and
then the Knights on Anzac Day and christ Chooch. You
look at the NRL this year and it's a competition
full of upsets. The Panthers, four time winners, back at
the bottom of the league. The Storm, as always are
up there, but there's a whole mix of teams in
the top eight at the moment that are jostling for position,
(11:36):
and the Warriors are right up there and it feels
like they can bank a few more wins. They've got
the Cowboys away at the Magic Round this weekend. There's
gonna be a tough match to the Cowboys in the
top eight as well, but they're building quite nicely. I
think they had that blip against the Storm a few
weeks back where they were completely terrible, but they seem
to have found their rhythm a little bit and in
the top four. It's a good spot to be at
(11:57):
this point of the season. And then some of the
teams start losing orange players in a few weeks time,
and that creates a whole new dynamic in the league
and teams become a little bit weaker. So ook the Warriors.
They picked up a couple of wins on a bit
of a role in the NRAL.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Pastic look We're looking quite good across the board, yeah, apart.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
From the Blues and the Super Rugby team quite honest.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
So we've got the Chiefs and the Crusaders at the top,
that's right.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
And it feels like in a couple of weeks time
they're going to meet in a regular season game in
christ Jews that that could well decide who gets top
of the seedings for the playoffs. And we know how
important that is in Super Rugby. You play at home,
you're more likely to win. The Hurricanes getting into the
top six over the course of the weekend, so they're
right still in the mix. But the Blues, this title
(12:40):
defense of theirs is going backwards. That are rated not
It's very poor against the Reds on the weekend. They
can still sneak into the playoffs for line, but hard
to see them making a run towards the title from here.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Can't see it all right, Elliott, great stuff, good see
as always Alex Smith zby Sport Voice of Rugby. But
this morning on Everything twenty three minutes after five Here
on News Talks, Ryan regular listener, Good morning, nice to
hear from you, Michael. I disagree with you, which is fine,
Michael you can do that. I disagree with your view
that only three confirmed recruits so far have skipped the
(13:13):
physical test. Being trained didn't meet the physical standards required.
Policing in twenty twenty five is a physically and mentally
demanding vocation. As a retired detective sergeant, it is imperative
all work colleagues have met the physical competency test. Operational
requirements can be compromised if the colleague at your shoulder
hadn't met their PCT. I completely agree with you. All
(13:37):
I'm saying is, at this point, does three recruits out
of and there's one hundred in the training ring wing,
Remember they've increased it from eighty two one hundred. Does
three recruits somehow getting around the PCT a scandal make
at this point? I don't think it does. Twenty four
after five News Talks, I've been the.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Early edition full show podcast on iHeart Radio how It
by News Talk ZIB.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Five on News TALKSIB the White House Correspondence going to
happen over the weekend, and it was quite boring because
there were no comedians and no one was funny, and
Trump wasn't there. Of course, he was off at the
Pope's funerals. So it was a bit boring. But finally
the White House press pack has come around to the
idea that maybe they got it wrong when it came
to Joe Biden being well losing his marbles while in
(14:25):
charge of nuclear weapons. Here is an Axios reporter who
won an award basically giving his colleagues a suit.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people
around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers
also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
(14:54):
missed a lot of this story and some people trust
us least because of it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Ran yeah, say that again. Twenty seven after five. Now
there was a priest on the news last night talking
about homeless people the cost of buying a house in
New Zealand. This priest, who was naturally dressed in all
the garb, the robe, the hatch, the works, then mentioned
the fact that there were marina berths down at the
waterfront bursting at the seams with super yachts. And I thought,
(15:21):
what an odd thing to say. I know, the church's
role is to help the poor, and they do that,
and I've seen them do that and it's fantastic. But
to then also blame the wealthy for not helping the poor?
Is that helping or is that politics? The Church the
state had been clashing of late. In case you've missed it,
we all saw those quote faith leaders come out during
(15:43):
the Treaty Principle's Bill and give David Seymour a bollocking.
What exactly is the endgame here? That's my question. Are they,
like the good Bishop Brian Tummocky, keen on getting into
Parliament themselves. The Salvation Army does a report every year
looking at the wealth of billionaires. There's a lot of
finger pointing and tisking about those who've accumulated a lot
(16:04):
of wealth, but what about those who've got a lot
but also give a lot. For a good example, we
need look no further than the Catholic Church itself. It
is one of the largest and wealthiest organizations in the world.
The Vatican, because of its small population, the eighteenth wealthiest
nation per capita. They boast a huge real estate portfolio.
(16:27):
Hard to work out exactly what they're worth, but they
reckon somewhere between seventy three and two hundred and fifty
billion dollars, so more than the combined wealth of all
the billionaires that this country's ever known. To be honest,
none of this bothers me. I believe everybody should believe
whatever God they want to believe in, whatever after life
they want to believe in. That is religious freedom. Tithe
(16:49):
to your heart's content, preach till your blue in the face.
I respect your right to think and pray as you want.
But if you're going to preach for the poor and
against the wealthy, perhaps getting your own house in order
might be a good place to start. Least you come
across a tad hypocritical Ryan Bridge, twenty nine after five,
(17:11):
You're on news Talks. Heb lots more to come, including
a new poll out from CNN this morning, but a
bad news for old Trump. You're on news Talk set B.

You cannot deny it. I mean likely music or hat music.
She's number one on the US Spotify charts and number
two in New Zealand. So well done Lord this morning,
(18:15):
lots of you. It seems I was preaching to the
choir with my comments earlier about the Catholic Church. You know,
just coming out and say having a crack at wealthy
people for not helping the poor. Is that on brand
when you are as an organization quite wealthy yourselves. Ryan
agreed with you. I caught that statement on the news
last night. My immediate thought was that was political from
(18:37):
the church. Another says the Catholic wealth is truly astounding.
Envy is the subject of one of the commandments, is
it not? And Michael says, very hypocritical from them. I mean,
I don't want to I'm not bashing the Catholic Church.
I'm just saying if you are going to go after wealth,
then you know you've got to accept that you guys
(18:57):
on paper at least pretty wealthy yourself. Twenty three away
from sex Bran to just go to our reporters around
the country. We'll start with Callum Proctor in Donedan Callen,
good morning morning, right, you've got news of a fundraise
that we're raising some pretty serious cash.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
This is for a man critically injured after falling from
a Queenstown balcony over the east to break. Give a
little page has been set up. More than fifty thousand
dollars raised already for him after emergency services were called
to a holiday home. This was on Frankton Road. A
glass railing the man was leaning on collapsed. He was
herelifted to christ Each Hospital and remains in a stable condition.
(19:36):
This give a little page for the man and his
family described the incident as a freak accident while on holiday.
Police inquiries are ongoing in the Queenstown Lakes District Councils
also carrying out its own inquiries.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
All right, callum, how's here?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Weather in Dunedin fine to start start off with, but
occasional rain this afternoon at the high today eighteen brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Thank you Claires and christ It this morning clear. Good
morning to you. Good morning. Another look into the murder
of a christ Church woman. This is the woman who
was killed by her neighbor.
Speaker 11 (20:05):
Yes, that's right, Ryan. Look, Joseph Brider is the man
responsible for this. He was jailed for life after not
only murdering but also violating Juliana Herrera at her home
in Addington back in January twenty twenty two. The convicted
rapist had only been released on parole seventy two days beforehand.
Now we've learned over time that the Department of Corrections
(20:26):
had no reported concerns about Rider before he moved into
the flat, adjoining Herrera. He then quickly became obsessed with
her and subsequently killed her. A coronial in quest will
start today. This is to find out if anything went wrong,
specifically with the killer's release and management in the community,
with the hope, of course, to prevent similar tragedies in
(20:46):
the future.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Clear, how's your weather today?
Speaker 11 (20:49):
Looks pretty nice in christ Church fine for much of
the day. A spot or two of light rain a
bit later southeast developing later to the Hi though twenty
two brilliant.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Thank you. Max, isn't going to Max? Good morning? Good morning. Yeah,
you've got a story about boy races in Wellington. Can
I guess where they were? Well? Yeah, but I think
it might be wrong. This time. But go ahead. Ah,
oh okay, well this look good. Are they in the hut?
Are they in cart or are they in Kapadi?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Okay, that's a pretty broad spectrum. Well yeah, i'd actually
written into my script. Typically the worst of this problem
has been in the upper hut around Wallaceville, but this
time not so wided Apple pottydoer. Actually police really talking
up their efforts cracking down on They call them anti
social road users, but that could really mean anyone. Boy
(21:38):
races and wide and apple potty doer. Cars seized by
bailiffs over the weekend, impounded fines, handed out three people
over the legal alcohol limits, an arrest for driving while suspended.
Good work by police.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, absolutely, Max. How's your with it today? Mostly fine?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Northerlyes are peaking in the low twenties.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Great good structure, neighbors here high neevas.
Speaker 10 (22:00):
How was your little we holiday?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Feel like I've been away for a year? I bet
ye it was lovely.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Well, I was here working the three days in between.
We did miss you, he thought, Oh, look at him holiday,
No you do. You did deserve it that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh it was lovely to be away, but lovely to
be back too. And good to see you. Now. A
lack of support for businesses off Auckland's Queen Street during construction.
Speaker 10 (22:23):
Yes, this is you know, that same old story again.
You know the intersections Victoria Wellesley Streets peppered with all
those you know, the dug up footpaths, and the projects
like the water care wastewater upgrades and of course the
City rail Link. Now Mike Lee Auckland councilor, he says,
when one project finishes, I've got to do another one.
They've just got to get it all done. But the
(22:43):
pedestrian counts, retail activities continued to decline year on year.
This has been going on for years and so obviously
the businesses are not happy about that. Vive Beck Heart
of the City Chief Executive, she's come out again. She's saying, look,
you know, people there shouldn't be suffering due to these
public projects. Has been little help. And you know she's
been calling again for government support for businesses for years.
(23:06):
Construction has been endless, now nearly a decade. I was
gonna say, can you believe it?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But yes, you go down there and it's like, yeah,
well you don't go down there.
Speaker 10 (23:14):
No, Well that's right, and that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Now, Neva. How's Auckland's wing rain.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, twenty two? Is the
high still warm?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Very long? Actually I woke up last night in the sweat.
Oh my god, it was because of the weather. I
should say, I can't believe it.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
You're absolutely right because it's nearly May, and I mean
today tomorrow Auckland we've got highs of twenty two and
I just to clear on christ Church saying twenty two Wednesday,
I have twenty three, for goodness sake.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh thank you here Conne beyond eighteen minutes away from
six year. On News Talk c B, we're going to
get to Gavin Graham the UK plus the Vatican.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It's all ahead, International correspondence with ends and eye insurance,
peace of mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It is called It's the Sexier. On News Talk, say
Liverpool have just won the Premier League. Over in the UK,
we're going to get to Devin Gray are UK europe correspondent,
Gaven good morning.
Speaker 12 (24:08):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Run Now we will come back to Liverpool in a second.
But you've got news of a counter terrorism operation by police.
What's happening here?
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Yeah, it's in Yorkshire in the northeast of England, and
it is said that three people have been taken to
hospital having been found injured in Leeds in the Headingley area,
famous of course for its cricket and being quite a
sort of well to do area of the city of Leeds.
And of those three who have been taken to hospital,
(24:38):
one is the suspected attacker, and it is said that
one of them has been seriously injured and the attack
was with a crossbow. But the reason it appears that
counter terrorism police are investigating this incident is that alongside
the crossbow they also found a firearm recovered at the
scene and the thirty eight year old suspect said has
(25:00):
suffered a self inflicted injury. Now, as I said, we
have few details about the two victims. One is now
thought to be out of hospital, the other is still
in hospital. And this happened along something very very popular
called the Otly Run pub crawl route. It's often very
very popular with students who go on a run, stopping
(25:21):
off at a number of different pubs, often about half
a dozen different pubs on the way and often four sponsorships.
So obviously the police investigate in the motive and indeed
questioning the suspected attack.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Gavin Marks and Spencer they had that cyber attech last
week in but they're still struggling to sort of get
to grips with that.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
Yeah, very much so, Ryan So. Marks and Spencer the
absolute sort of the stalwater of the high street in
the UK selling food and clothing. It shares fell dramatically
by five percent. They have picked up a little bit
after it was announced they've been subjected to a cyber incident,
and it really is struggling a week on to get
(26:00):
back to normal. Indeed, it is now saying that it
has had to cancel its Click and Collect was struggling
as well with people using contactless payments as well as
those paying with gift cards. Now things have pretty much
got back a lot of the way, but I'm afraid
since it's suspended online ordering, Marks and Spencer's has been
responding to social media posts advisor customers that these problems
(26:23):
still persist. The share market has gone down five percent
following this, as I said, but they have picked up
a bit. No news on what that cyber attack actually
is or what it entailed. It's not the big first
of the big high street giants to fall foul of this.
Morrison's another one just before Christmas, serious it problems at
(26:44):
Barkley's Bank as well, and then in February several banks,
notably Lloyd's Banking, facing outages leaving businesses unable to pay staff,
all because of cyber attacks and certainly a great problem
for big businesses here, plus the fact they may even
be by the regulator for data and keeping data if
(27:05):
it was deemed that they have not been holding it securely.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Gavin, and you are Liverpool man. I'm just looking at
a live feed from Sky News and it's a sea
of red. They are very excited to be winning the
Premier League.
Speaker 12 (27:18):
I'm a Tottenham fan.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
No good for me. Oh no, We'll leave it there, Gavin.
Thank you. Kevin Gray our UK you have correspondent. It
is twelve minutes away from six Bridge Caple. Politics well
underway now that Pope Francis has been laid to rest
your purists, they argue the Vatican's gone but woke. Too
much focus on inclusion and diversity, not enough talk about
(27:40):
the Bible and how it can be quite well strict
actually on a lot of social stuff. The conclave must
start by May tenth, at the latest. Our Rome correspondent
Joe McKenna is at the Vatican for Us this morning. Joe,
welcome to the show. Hello Ryan, how are you very well?
Thank you and nice to have you Vatican for us.
(28:01):
So this is all starting to get a bit political.
What actually happens now and when does the conclave have
to start?
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Well, the politics, of course is fascinating. It's very medieval.
After the pope's death, the conclave has to start within
fifteen to two days, so we're expecting that to get underway,
probably Monday or Tuesday next week.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What do you rate the chances of them going even
more progressive than Francis was, or do you think it's
going to go the other way and Elena bit more conservative.
Speaker 13 (28:36):
Look, it's an interesting time and the conservatives were very angry,
very upset with Pope Francis, even though I was so
loved and so popular. You're right, as you said earlier,
there was a concern that he was too ambiguous on
things like gay rights and the role of women in
the church, and whether divorces should be allowed to have communion.
(28:57):
They didn't like it. They didn't like him being buried
in a very simple coffin. They didn't like his informality.
They didn't like the fact that he gave up all
the traditional robes and the papal apartment and decided to
live out the back in a little tiny room in
the cars of Santa Mata. So these conservatives are pushing
(29:19):
back big time, and there is a lot of toing
and frowing going on behind the scenes right now. The
other thing that's interesting. I ran into a Vatican insider
last night who had a senior position no longer, and
he told me off the record, the Italians want to
see a European pope. They want to see an Italian pope.
And even though the Italians don't have a huge number
(29:41):
in terms of the total electors, there are only about
sixteen Italians, he said, they have enormous influence. They see
it as a family business, and they didn't like the
fact that some outsider came in from Argentina and shook
things up.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
That's me jo. It's interesting because there's a hundred I mean,
just the family business and Italian.
Speaker 14 (30:03):
It's a dangerous combination.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Dangerous combination. Anyway, the one hundred and thirty cardinals who
were there, I was reading yesterday that you know. Obviously,
France has appointed a lot of them, and a lot
of them don't you know each other. They've never meet
each other before. They're from far flowing parts of the world.
This is almost going to be like the first day
of school when they get together.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Yeah, it's a very good way of putting it. They've
had a couple of meetings already, but things will really
crank up tomorrow. They've got this old fashioned thing where
they don't really like to say too much before the
funeral itself, but things will really crank up. And as
you said, you know, there are a lot of newcomers.
They're being sworn in before they have what's called these
(30:45):
congregations where it's really an opportunity for the players to
showcase what their papacy would be like. And that's what
really happened with Pope Francis when he gave a speech
way back in twenty thirteen. It really moved the cardinals
to get behind him because he had a vision for
(31:05):
how he wanted to take the church. Not all of
them were happy with what happened, but that's really what
happened behind closed doors. And so we've had some of
the cardinals meeting, not all of them there that will
step up tomorrow. And don't forget the cardinals that cannot
vote in the conclave also take part in these meetings.
So you've got the elderly cardinals over the age of
(31:28):
eighty who will also have some influence on the newcomers
in terms of the direction of the conclave.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Joe, thank you very much for that. Great to have
you on the show. As always, Joe mckinna, our Rome
correspondent at the Vatican with the Inside Goths. It's eight
to Sex News Talk Zip be Mike next.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and One Room, Make Your Property
Surgeon Symbol News Talks It.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Sex to Sex News Talks said, be quick seeing in
pul for you this morning. Trump support taking a hat
forty percent approval rate. That's the lowest for any newly
elected president in their first one hundred days since Eisenhower.
It's down four points for Trump since March and down
seven points since February. But I mean, you know, he
is shaking things up, isn't he. And human beings don't
(32:16):
like change, and he's making a lot of changes. There
is nothing stable about his first one hundred days. That's
for sure, five to six now, and Mike see him,
Good morning, Mike, very good morning.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
I don't think he cares either. No, it's in the
beauty of the American system, isn't it. Once you get
your second term, it's over and you can do whatever
you want pretty much.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And well, I mean he's got to worry about the
midterms next.
Speaker 14 (32:35):
Yeah, he does it, but that'll that will be his undoing,
is my prediction. Having said that, he is claiming also
this morning that he's done two hundred trade deals. I
saw that, and in the ensuing couple of days since
he's announced the TWIFF performs.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Two hundreds of nonsense.
Speaker 14 (32:52):
Well, there's that's more deals than there are countries.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
I mean, unless it's I don't know anyone to wake that.
I don't know I had.
Speaker 14 (32:59):
Yeah, so you can have more than one deal with
the country. I don't know how that. I don't know
how that works.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, I mean he's probably got an idea of what
he wants from deals in those countries. I'm sure she's
got anything done.
Speaker 14 (33:09):
Does I saw were you watching the funeral?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Did you watch the fields?
Speaker 14 (33:12):
I saw the Zolensky. Thing happen before it happened, because
did you notice if you were watching the start very closely.
So they go round the back and they come out
the front, down onto where the crowd is. And I
saw Trump disappeared for ages, and you thought, so he
went in the side. He was there with a coffin.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Where did he go?
Speaker 14 (33:30):
And I thought, hang on, something's happened here. And then
right behind him was Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
There you go, and I thought somebody knew something was up.
Speaker 14 (33:36):
The Catholic church they move in mysterious ways. They had
the chairs set.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You see, it was a pretty amazing, incredible. Did you
see the Macron come in and Starma come in and
try and get there and mcron always the French, always
do this, but put his hand on Zolensky's shoulder in
a very touchy touching, very touchy, very touchy, hands off him.
Speaker 14 (33:59):
Luxan was there. He's with us by the way as
he wings his way home to the country.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
He'll be with us, Mike with you next see to morrow,
have a great Dame God, no reason not to celebrate, baby,
I'm just worn away.
