Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new
for twenty twenty four on an early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture bands and a play a store news dogs'd.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Be good morning. It is great to have your company.
Six after five year on News Talk, sa'd be. I'm
Ryan Bridge. Lots to come on the program this morning.
We're going to talk about well that power Poland that
fell over in Northland and who was responsible and whether
there's compensation all of those sorts of things. Another report,
this one into the wee boy Malachi Subic, who died
(00:38):
three years ago. Has anything changed in our caregiver system?
Is anything going to change? Do you have any hope?
We'll talk about that with Save the Children in about
ten minutes time. Plus a fantastic night if you're just
joining us overnight. We have won three medals across four
finals in the rowing over in France, which is it's great.
(01:00):
We've won a gold, a silver and a bronze. And
we're going to speak to Kerry Williams who was in
one of those boats. She's talking to us from a
car filled with Olympic medals. Shortly right now, seven after five.
The agenda It's Friday, the second of August. It was
a busy day on the water for our key we
rowers with gold, silver and bronze. Overnight, Lucy Spores and
(01:23):
Brook Francis won gold. I just point two four seconds
in the double skulls and a nail biting push to
the finish, edging out Romania.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Lucy Spores, Brook Francis down to the line.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's child and the Coxlers four Logan Alrich, Matt McDonald,
Tom Murray and Oliver McLain won silver. We've just well
a split second really behind the United States. And later
in the show will be chatting to Kerry Williams as
I said. The United States and Russia have just completed
an historic prisoner swap after months of negotiations. President Joe
(01:58):
Biden spoke about this a short time ago, surrounded by
family members of those released.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Are out of Russia earlier today they're flown to Turkey
and soon there'll be wheels up on their way home
to see their families.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
One Green card holder and three US citizens are being
released as part of the deal, including journalist Evan Gushkevich,
who was recently sentenced to sixteen years in a Russian
prison after being found guilty of espionage back home, Otago
Regional Council says, addressing the concerns around costs of its
proposed land and water plan are going on after the Minister,
(02:33):
Penny Simmons asked for more information. Bed Farmer's Otago reckons
that it's seen reports suggesting the plan will cost more
than one hundred and ten million dollars for just two
small Otago towns. Council chair Gretchen Robertson says the council
has been working on a draft since twenty twenty and
has consulted more than fifty groups.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
beds and a playing store News talk zaid.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Be I wonder it's going to cost so much If
you're if you've been doing a draft report since twenty twenty,
it is twenty twenty four and you've consulted more than
fifty groups, that's where the cost is. Surely nine minutes
after five. Now that prisoner swap, they say one of
the biggest in history. Twenty four prisoners in total, four
European countries involved, obviously the US and obviously Russia, and
(03:27):
it's all happening in Turkey. I'm always fascinated by this.
We never seem to get a good deal in these things.
So we're getting back, you know, at alleged spies who
have been in Russia, one of them a journalist, another
an ex marine, which is probably more sounds a bit
more dodgy, doesn't it, than a journalist. But what do
(03:48):
the Russians get. They're getting a just quietly, they're getting
an FSB colonel back who was living in Germany and
killed a guy that he gets to walk free. He
was serving a nineteen year sentence. It was a critic
of the Kremlin, which is hard to say quickly, too
(04:08):
early in the morning. He was a critic of the
Kremlin who was killed at a park in Berlin. This
FSB colonel kills them life sentence and not home time.
He's on a plane to Turkey as we speak. The
sailing has been postponed. This is weather related over in France,
so that won't happen today. They did have a couple
(04:28):
of cracks at it. But the really cool news today
is that Brook Francis and Lucy Spores the double skulls.
They got gold. We've got the audio from you. They
ended up in a battle with the Romanians, but we've
got the audio for you. And we're also going to
speak to Kerry Williams, who raced in the same boat
(04:48):
as her sister Jackie and one bronze at the Olympics overnight.
But have listened to this gold medal race, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Spores Brook Francis down to the line.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That's John Old yeap, So there you go. It bout says,
it doesn't it. It's just gone eleven minutes after five.
We're back talking about that report into the death of
baby Malachi.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Next News and Views You Trust to start your day's
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
Furniture Beds and a Flying Store.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
News Talk said be thirteen minutes after five. Our child
protection system hasn't shifted enough since the death of totaling
a five year old Malachai subsh who died three years ago.
That's what's come out of the assessment from an independent
Children's monitor report. It found that no subsequent recommendations have
been implemented by the children's agencies, and ordering a Tamadiki
(05:41):
is being forced to make decisions on staff availability rather
than prioritizing a child's safety. Save the Children. New Zealand
advocacy director at Jackie Soudi's with me this morning, Jackie,
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Good morning, Ryan Kilder.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So are you surprised to hear this?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, I am quite surprised hear this. The Dame Karen
Patassi review was very thorough. It looked at the death
of malth Pace sou Best, but not in isolation of
that one death, but across a system wide way of working,
and also reviewed thirty three previous reviews to create a
very comprehensive picture about what should change to prevent similar
(06:20):
situations happening.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Jackie, this is not the first report to come up
with a recommendation like this, to come up with a
conclusion like this. Is there anywhere in the world that
does this well, that has a system that actually ensures
the safety of children.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well. Unfortunately, systems around the world do struggle. And what
systems are trying to do or countries that are trying
to improve, it's not about just focusing on the response system,
it's focusing on the pipeline into that system to try
to prevent fewer children being in these situations. This is
a problem worldwide and this is why they're a minut
(07:00):
sterial the first ministerial conference on this globally in Colombia
in November later this year.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
In the meantime, what needs to be addressed straight away, well.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
These recommendations made by Darren Dane Karen Passing, we're very
very clear and are doable. They need to be put
at the forefront. The recommendation for organizations to or agencies
to cross share the information and concerns they have is
more than twenty years old. This call has been going
on for a long time, yet we still fail to
do it, and it seems that people are confused about
(07:36):
how to do this, about where the privacy issues are
more paramount now than the safety of the child or
sharing this information, and also who has the mandate to
make the call on what information to share. Essentially, what
we've got is a system where people are confused about
how to identify abuse and harm, whether to make a report,
(07:58):
and if they do, it's confused about what happens next,
and we need to simplify the system. It needs to
be very clear that when a happens. B c D
will follow.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Because if you're a teacher or a health worker or
whatever and you see what you think is abused, there
should be no question about privacy and how is that
you tell someone right?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Absolutely, and it's not And we're not talking about not
reeling back privacy in terms of genuinely talking about this
in the community. When making disclosure to health police, well
i'm somebody here, privacy should be very tight. And when
sharing the information between these agencies, again, it's not gossiping
about it in the community. It's sharing it at a
(08:40):
very professional level and there should be you know, parameters
and place around that. But that's what people need to trust.
They need to be able to trust and when they
make that recommendation that report a concern because they're so
concerned by what they've seen, that the leads around that
will go into action and the right processes will be followed.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Jackie, thank you very much for your time. That's Jackie Soalthy,
Save the Children, New Zealand's advocacy director talking about that
report in response to the death of Malachi subsh We're
going to talk to one of our medalists overnight from
the rowing in France just before six o'clock. Next compensation
if you were affected by that pylon outage in Northland.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
We'll see Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on
early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
a playing store.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
News Talk Ziby nineteen after five. Good morning, it is Friday.
Welcome to it. Very quickly. The leaderboard. Where are we sitting?
This is a Paris obviously eleventh as we were at
at the moment. We have five medals in total, two golds.
I didn't wasn't able to find out exactly at this
point in Tokyo where we were at metal wives, but
(09:52):
total in Tokyo we got twentieth, we had seven gold,
so we were thirteenth. Overall we had twenty metal and
seven gold. So sitting on five medals total right now,
two gold and in eleventh position. Not bad. Apparently what
the Americans have been doing is switching it. You know,
you get the more golds you get, the higher up
(10:13):
the leader boards you go. According to the official Olympics stats,
what the Americans have been doing is just going based
off total medals, which puts them a number one. It
has just gone twenty after five. It's been a busy
day for our rowers. The Kei we four this is
the women have taken out of bronze medal overnights on
(10:33):
the squad Kerry Williams and his sister Jackie Gowler the Kiwis,
were placed fourth in the last one thousand meters, surging
past Romania in a push for the finish line.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Netherlands or Great Britain to the line. It's the Netherlands,
Great Britain and in New Zealand bronze medal.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Not Romania at all?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That was the gold race? Joining me now is Olympic
rowert Kirie Williams Carey, good morning, congratulations.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
How does it very exciting?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
How does it feel?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
It's pretty special?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
I think I think it hasn't really sunk in.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
We're kind of just out of the hotel, which is
unfamiliar to us at the moment. But yeah, it's pretty
it's pretty cool. It was a cool day for rowing.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Are you in a car full of medals?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I am in a car full of medals?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There who's in there with you? How many medals are
you holding?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Well?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
We have the woman's double gold medalists and the woman's four.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Fantastic that sex meddles. What a great day for New
Zealand rowing.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I'm so proud of the team and it's really cool
to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And it made extra special obviously because you're in the
boat with your sister Jackie, right yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, yeah, that is pretty cool too to be lining
up with her and to get on the podium.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
How did the race go? How did you find it?
It was? It was obviously a bit of a sprint
at the end there, as it always is.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Yeah, the race was they said a pretty hot pace
the leading crews, so we had a bit of work
to get back in the race.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
And then we've sort of always said you.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Don't want to end up in a Romanian sprint to
the furnish, and that's where we ended up, but.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Where you came out on the right side. So that's
bloody gout.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's more than bloody good. It's fantastic. So I was
counting your metals up this morning. So you've got a
gold from the pair at Tokyo, you've got an h sorry,
a silver from the eight and now a bronze and
the four. Have I got that right? That the clean sweep?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, yeah, that one of each.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Tell me about your journey to get to these games
because you had a year off, right, What was that for?
And did you did you think you would come back?
Was that always the goal?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
If I'm honest, I didn't think i'd come back.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I needed a break.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
And then I sort of thought that's not like it's
not the ideal time to have a year off and
like a qualification year, but a year out from these games,
I sort of started to be like, I think I
want to be there and and I don't know if
it's too late, And so I just started training again
and here I am.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So what's the lesson we can all learn from that?
Just don't give up, go back to it, keep going
if you've got more in the tank.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Yeah, I think so. I think it was just I
could have.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I could have I guess said no, it's too late,
but I thought I'd give it a crack anyway.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And it's paid off. So and it's been really cool.
I've really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Are your parents there watching you? Girls?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah? Yeah, the whole family's here.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh fantastic. Well go and enjoy it. You're you're in
a car full of six medals, which is which is great,
As I said, great for rowing, but also great for
New Zealand. We're very proud of you. And we've still
got Emma to go. Tomorrow is Saturday, I think, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Yeah, we have the Lightweight double tomorrow and Emma and
tom on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So we're going to get more gold, don't we. Yeah.
Kerry Williams, congratulations and thanks for your time.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Twenty four minutes after five on news Talk said B
back in a.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Second separating the fact from the fiction. It's Filly edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and Appliant store.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
News Talk said B. It is twenty six after five,
News Talk said B. Did you see the reaction to
Donald Trump's comments yesterday? If you missed it, this is
what he said about Kamala Harris's race.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
She was Indian all the way, and then all of
a sudden, she made a turn and she went she
became a black.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Just to be clear, sir, I feel.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Somebody should look into that too.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
When you asked a continue in a very hostile, nasty time.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What what? Anyway, the media rightly ran the story and
it was a big deal. Isn't that exactly though, questioning
someone's race? Isn't that exactly what Lawaiti waited he did
to Karen Traaw. Isn't that exactly what he did the
other day in parliament when he asked what blood quantum are?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
You?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Couldn't the same be said of Calvin Davis, saying that
Karen Taw quote lives in a Pucky how world. She's
Maldi by the way, and what about Tapati Maldi. They
said Karen Taw should have been raised by Maldi caregivers
instead of Pucky how ones. This is a woman who's
been through the state care system and claimed that she
(15:46):
had disdain for Maori for her people. This week they
said she's just a puppet of her party and she
was basically left in tears in the hallway TV three.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Was still a person. I'm still a person, and I
feel like I'm getting that stripped away from the day
by day in this place.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
No apologies from Tapati MARII, no accountability. I just think
it's sad. Put the politics to one side for a second.
There's a woman crying in a hallway. Wouldn't you want
to just say sorry if what I had said had
made you feel that way. Karen Saw is not a
bad person. You might disagree with her policies, sure, but
(16:35):
also her treatment in the media this week. I think
she's been interrogated more about who bullied her than Julie
and gender ever was about actually bullying. It's a double standard,
no wonder. She's battling and struggling, and then Chippy turns
around and says she's not fit to be a minister.
(16:56):
Gas lighting much. I mean, I hate all these terms.
I hate all these words. Karen Shaw will be fine.
She's a very strong individual. I guess that just annoys
me because if the shoe was on the other foot, imagine,
just imagine, and where's the Human Rights Commission? Where's their
statement on this stuff? You know, you know what I mean,
(17:18):
There'll be attack dogs on social media. You can you
can just imagine how it would play out if the
shoe was on the other foot. I say, keep doing
what you're doing, Karen Shaw. You're hard work and you're
conscientious and you can rise above it. Twenty nine after.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Five The news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
News Talks.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It'd be.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Twenty four away from six. You're on news Talks. They'd
be with me, Ryan Bridge, Good morning. Three fights going
on this morning, which we'll talk about. One is that
scrap between all the federal reserves central banks to cut
interest rates, and the Bank of England has done that.
I'll get to that in a second. Obviously the US
is held steady, they won't cut till September. But to
(18:26):
the Olympics, this is a gender rowl, but not a
transgender rowl. Slightly confusing. So there's an Algerian boxer who's
been deemed to have male chromosomes and they want to
fight against a women boxer. This is in the sixty
six kilo women's division. This person, the Algerian, smacked the Italian.
The Italian woman cries calls the fight off at last
(18:49):
forty six seconds. So apparently the Algerian was disqualified by
the International Boxing Association in twenty twenty three, but the
Olympics have looser rules. So this Algerian boxer with male
chromosomes has beaten a female boxer, if that makes sense
to you. But it's not a transgender thing. It's an
(19:11):
intersex thing. So the Algerian apparently is intersex. You go
twenty three minutes away from six o'clock. Also in fighting
news this morning, Tesla Boss Elon Musk is going to
have a scrap with Venezuela's president. Yep, it's a real thing.
(19:34):
So you know, this is the guy that's been Maduro
who's been accused of stealing the election. This week, Elon
Musk has apparently been taunting him, sending tweet after tweet
after tweet after tweet, a tweet barrage fifty of them, apparently,
and Maduro has replied, do you want to fight me?
Elon Musk, Let's do it. I'm ready. This is the
head of state. Elon Musk says, I accept, but I
(19:57):
bet he'll chicken out anyway. He doesn't have much credibility,
that is Musk when it comes to scrapping, because remember
he challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight any place, anytime.
Turned out that place was nowhere and the time was
never twenty two to six Cryan Bridge, Clum Proctors and
Dunedin forest Culum. Good morning, the Otago Regional Council's very
(20:21):
expensive land and water plan.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's right. It's very much in the
forefront of farmers around our region. The Regional Council's addressing
these concerns around costs involved with this plan. Environment Minister
Penny Simons is seeking information around the costs. Federated Farmers
Otago say they've seen reports suggesting this plan will cost
more than one hundred and ten million dollars. That's just
(20:46):
for two small Otago towns. Council Chair Gretchen Robertson says, look,
they've been working on a draft since twenty twenty. They've
consulted more than fifty groups, including Federated Farmers, and she
wants to make it clear the plan does not include
land based water discharge costs.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Very expensive. How's the weather today, Callum.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
The odd shower at first fine breaks this afternoon for
danedin sou westerlies and ten degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Thank you, and Claire Shewards for us in christ Church
that ice rink remains closed. Clear.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
Yes, this is after a thirteen year old student died
at a during a school trip earlier this week. Ryan,
So this thirteen year old was injured at Alpine Ice
on Tuesday after falling Highata Community campus as well as
a family member confirmed her death yesterday on social media.
The facility has been closed to the public since the incident.
On Tuesday, WORKSAFES opened an investigation into the safety procedures
(21:42):
and policies in place for risk management. A spokesperson says
students should be able to participate safely and family must
have confidence their children will be kept safe.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
How's weather today, Claire, Cloudy.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
With chowers about Bank's Peninsula south of Westeries. A high
of ten here two and then a cold tonight. We're
expecting minus five.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh, that's chilli. Thanks clear. Let's got a Max toll
on Wellington Max. A University wants to divest itself from
Israeli government bonds. Let me guess Victoria.
Speaker 12 (22:12):
It is Victoria. It's a foundation holds one hundred and
nine million dollars in overall investments. A small fraction of that,
about forty seven forty eight thousand dollars, is invested in
Israeli government bonds via an external AMZ funds. A lot
of students don't like it. We asked the university for
more detail. They told us they are now trying to
divest by the end of the month. Massi University is
(22:34):
in a similar spot. Actually, its investments include Israeli government bonds,
which are there have prompted protests on campus. Its art
department recently covered in pro Gaza graffiti. When we ask
Massi about their bonds, they didn't say anything about divesting.
They said all of its investments are responsible. The income
from which it goes towards student scholarships academics research at Massi,
(22:57):
a topic that mindful Money has been on too lately,
pointing out to you know, a lot of our kiwisaver
funds at the moment invested in weapons used in Gaza.
The main thing always is transparency.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Thanks so much for that, Max.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Your weather today cold as well, early showers, clearing, strong
southerly's high of nine in the city and never ready
manages with.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Us in Auckland. Never good morning. Are you an ethical investor? No? No,
I goes to the biggest whatever gets me the biggest
bang from a buck, tobacco companies, arms dealers. I don't
cared about everything gay or big oil, love, big farmer.
Oh are you hey? The pools.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
The pools.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Yes, no, I know we mentioned this a few days
ago because they were having this meeting, but we have
a result. So Auckland Council they're going to continue to
manage the polls and the leisure centers that are under
its control because there was a proposal now that was
to outsource the operation to private operators. Now that was
not adopted at yesterday's council meeting. So you know, while
(24:01):
it'll mean pretty much business as usual, council will now
work with the unions and stuff. They've got to find
three million dollars and your savings across its network. So yeah,
so what does that mean.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, that's hard, isn't it Because it's not like you
can just close a few lanes of the pool. No,
I mean it's You've still got to pay for the
same number of lifeguards, don't It's right, So how do
you save three million dollars? Yes, I mean opening.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Hours, opening hours, because.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They are they're not very busy during the middle of
the day.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Do you go.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I mean I don't go to the pools, I must admit,
but you.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Do, yeah, yeah, And and they're obviously very busy in
the morning. People are wanting to do their lengths and
then very busy in the evening and probably I imagine
there's a school run in there somewhere. That's right, but
during the middle of the day you could probably close it.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Well, it's the equad joggers. I mean I did used
to do equad jogging, go to those classes with the
old biddies there at ten am. That was quite good.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, I suppose I forgot about the old biddies or.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Should I say old biddies guys. Shouldn't say that young people? Yes,
sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, no interesting. Hopefully they can sort something out because
it'd be shamed to lose one.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Or more than wouldn't ezactly, it's quite right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Thanks so much for that. Never it is, well, should
I do the weather? Sorry, this is the main part.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
This is what the orcland does really want a year
because all the fund Putoa. There's periods of rain, possibly heavy,
and then elsewhere round Auckland the odd shower clearing this afternoon.
Auckland's high fourteen not as cold as the south. I'd
know who'd clear Engine minus five and christ Church minus five.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Have a nice week in christ Church it is sixteen
away from six.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a Playing Store. Youth Talk said be.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Fourteen away from six. The US federal reservers held the
interest rates. They're steady. As we talked about yesterday, that
was always going to happen, but it now means that
they've got to make a cut, probably going to make
a cut in September, which is just before the election,
which will be a politically charged cut. But you got
to do what you've got to do. They've got a
job to do and they're dependent too. The Bank of
(26:01):
England overnight, on the other hand, has cut for the
first time in four years. They've cut a quarter of
a percent down to five percent. And you might ask
why not go harder because you look at their inflation
numbers it's two percent, which is at target, so they
have reached target. Why are they not cutting more aggressively?
Why not get a chainsaw out? Well, nobody wants to
(26:23):
cut too far, too fast and have and risk having
Inflation ticked back up. Also in the UK, services inflation
was unexpectedly high for June. What drove that dig a
little deeper. What do you get to Taylor Swift Hotel
costs went up because of their concerts, but also people
have phone contracts that they got took out when inflation
(26:44):
was really high, so they're very expensive. So those services
costs still quite high. In a bit of a worry
there for the Bank of England. It is thirteen to
six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business Vint Mekaznix now UK and
europe correspondents with all the details, all the juice on
this UIs Russia and I should say European prisoner swap Vincent.
Speaker 13 (27:10):
Yeah, that's right. This was thought to be coming for
a few days, but this surprise announcement this afternoon that
this deal has been agreed. Twenty fourth prisoners being held
in six countries, sixteen detainees from the West being swapped
with eight who are returning to Russia. This is the
biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the Cold War,
(27:33):
if you exclude some of those that have been in
the Ukraine conflict, and of course the most famous of
those Evan Guskovich, the Wall Street journal journalist. He is
being returned in exchange, the Russians have managed to get
the dim Krasikoff, who German officials identified as a colonel
in the colonel in Russia's FSB intelligence service. This swap
(27:57):
happened in the last few hours via and President Biden
has been given a press conference in the White House
marking the end of what he's said to be a
brutal ordeal for many of these families and the victims,
and has been seeing as quite a diplomatic triumph for
President Biden, whose administration has been working on this for
years to coordinate with multiple countries, as you mentioned, across
(28:20):
Europe to get this exchange over the line.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, it's pretty incredible that they hand over a convicted
murderer though from Germany, isn't it, hey, Vincent that rioting
that happened in Southport. The murder accused has now been
named and appeared in court. Who is this person?
Speaker 13 (28:39):
Yeah, this's a seventeen year old Axel Ruder Kubana now
under eighteens in British justice are normally kept anonymized unless
there is a public interest in revealing. The newspapers here
mounted a claim and that was accepted by the judge
that he should be identified given the nature of the crime.
He has been charged for three counts of murder, ten
(29:02):
counts of attempted murder and one counter possessing a bladed article.
He's been remanded in youth custody and of course this
is a complex operation. This traveling likely to take place
next year at the earliest. But what's been interesting is
the Kirstama has taken to Downing Street for a press
conference this afternoon where he's been denouncing the actions of
(29:23):
what he said were gangs of thugs who've exploited this
tragedy and traveled to Southport and then to Downing Street
last night fueled by false information wilfully being put out
on social media by the far rights, not just in
this country but other countries to soak up resentment towards
migrants to this country. And we have over one hundred
(29:46):
rests in London's night for what was a pretty violent,
horrible protest. At some point Nazi salutes were spotted in it,
all of them claiming that they were there because they
wanted to see greater child protection, but really it was
a pretty ugly affair.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Sounds thanks so much of your time, Vincent mcaviniy Ore
UKN you're a correspondent. It is nine away from six
Ryan Bridge, almost two months on from the major power
outage in Northland. Transpower say compensation is off the table
for those impacted. The tower was being cleaned when a
worker removed too many nuts, causing it to collapse while
the team leader was busy sand blasting the North Chamber
(30:23):
Chief Executives Darren Fisher, Darren, good morning, Good morning Ryan.
So we know what happened now there was a problem,
too many nuts taken out, not enough attention being paid,
but no compensation, although I do note that the Transpower
says they might look at a donation of sorts to
the community. What do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Pretty cringe worthy yesterday, wasn't it, Ryan. I mean it's
almost like watching the spin doctors at work. But I'm
talking about giving an MP one hundred thousand dollars to
hand out ice creams at the local amp show is
very different to compensation to a business. Trying to maintain
the employment of six hundred people in a small regional
(31:05):
town is a huge difference. I mean, an average household
in New Zealand earns one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars a year in Northold. That's one hundred thousand dollars
a year typically made up of one bread winner and
one secondary Incomuna. Now, in a place like Kaitaia, where
six hundred people are reliant on one big business staying alive,
(31:28):
the direct result of what has happened here with transpier
puts those things in jeopardy. And I'm calling for that
board and that management to have put their big boy
pants on, get on an aeroplane, get up here and
front up to these local communities and explain why their
negligence is putting their livelihoods at risk.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Was that a serious suggestion to give the MP ice creams?
Speaker 9 (31:50):
It's a serious suggestion that the MP has been down
in Wellington saying you need to make a good will
donation to the people of Northold and do something community
wide and be good Samaritans here. But this is that's
a very different conversation to keeping people in serious employment.
Transpower have got values on their website talking about how
(32:12):
they are good social citizens and how they're good community people. Well,
what they're about to do through their negligence and avoiding
all of this conversation is absolutely crush a workforce in
small community towns like Katya.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Darren Fisher is with North Chamber and he's the chief
executive there. He wants the Board of Transpower up North
a SAP to answer some questions. Please and no, we
don't want ice creams at the AMP show seven minutes
away from sex Mic.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Hosking next 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 Talks.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It is four minutes away from Sexer on news Talk said,
b did you see Elon Musk is gonna want fight?
Speaker 14 (33:01):
You were quite right to point out. Elon Musk is
just a big loudmouth who would be better served building cars.
He doesn't have to recall so that and putting out
the cars he says he's going to build but never does.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Instead of tweeting one hundred percent.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
So if you spent if you spent less time buying
X and ruining it and more time actually putting together
some cars that work, we'd all be grateful to him
for doing it.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
It's it's sort of entertaining, though, isn't it When someone challenges,
you know when.
Speaker 14 (33:27):
Grown men, if it ever came to something, because I
had because of you. If you've seen Zuckerberg, he's he's
a proper athlete, he's a something, and he would have
smacked the be Jesus out of Elon Musk. So I
don't know about Maduro and what sort of shape he's
And Brook Francis will talk to this morning, Oh great,
who's the gold medalist? And Mum of course, saw a
(33:48):
lovely photo of her this morning with her husband and
her little one are over there. And I suppose that's
half the thrill of the Olympics, doesn't it have your
family there and you know, enjoying the because I mean,
what a sacrifice to be able to go.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
To lots of sisters there too.
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Yeah, the whole way year there's there's a family thing
going on and rowing, isn't there. My one of my
great fascinations has always been the all we've got.

The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge new
for twenty twenty four on an early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture bands and a play a store news dogs'd.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Be good morning. It is great to have your company.
Six after five year on News Talk, sa'd be. I'm
Ryan Bridge. Lots to come on the program this morning.
We're going to talk about well that power Poland that
fell over in Northland and who was responsible and whether
there's compensation all of those sorts of things. Another report,
this one into the wee boy Malachi Subic, who died
(00:38):
three years ago. Has anything changed in our caregiver system?
Is anything going to change? Do you have any hope?
We'll talk about that with Save the Children in about
ten minutes time. Plus a fantastic night if you're just
joining us overnight. We have won three medals across four
finals in the rowing over in France, which is it's great.
(01:00):
We've won a gold, a silver and a bronze. And
we're going to speak to Kerry Williams who was in
one of those boats. She's talking to us from a
car filled with Olympic medals. Shortly right now, seven after five.
The agenda It's Friday, the second of August. It was
a busy day on the water for our key we
rowers with gold, silver and bronze. Overnight, Lucy Spores and
(01:23):
Brook Francis won gold. I just point two four seconds
in the double skulls and a nail biting push to
the finish, edging out Romania.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Lucy Spores, Brook Francis down to the line.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's child and the Coxlers four Logan Alrich, Matt McDonald,
Tom Murray and Oliver McLain won silver. We've just well
a split second really behind the United States. And later
in the show will be chatting to Kerry Williams as
I said. The United States and Russia have just completed
an historic prisoner swap after months of negotiations. President Joe
(01:58):
Biden spoke about this a short time ago, surrounded by
family members of those released.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Are out of Russia earlier today they're flown to Turkey
and soon there'll be wheels up on their way home
to see their families.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
One Green card holder and three US citizens are being
released as part of the deal, including journalist Evan Gushkevich,
who was recently sentenced to sixteen years in a Russian
prison after being found guilty of espionage back home, Otago
Regional Council says, addressing the concerns around costs of its
proposed land and water plan are going on after the Minister,
(02:33):
Penny Simmons asked for more information. Bed Farmer's Otago reckons
that it's seen reports suggesting the plan will cost more
than one hundred and ten million dollars for just two
small Otago towns. Council chair Gretchen Robertson says the council
has been working on a draft since twenty twenty and
has consulted more than fifty groups.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Get ahead of the headlines. Ryan Bridge you for twenty
twenty four early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
beds and a playing store News talk zaid.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Be I wonder it's going to cost so much If
you're if you've been doing a draft report since twenty twenty,
it is twenty twenty four and you've consulted more than
fifty groups, that's where the cost is. Surely nine minutes
after five. Now that prisoner swap, they say one of
the biggest in history. Twenty four prisoners in total, four
European countries involved, obviously the US and obviously Russia, and
(03:27):
it's all happening in Turkey. I'm always fascinated by this.
We never seem to get a good deal in these things.
So we're getting back, you know, at alleged spies who
have been in Russia, one of them a journalist, another
an ex marine, which is probably more sounds a bit
more dodgy, doesn't it, than a journalist. But what do
(03:48):
the Russians get. They're getting a just quietly, they're getting
an FSB colonel back who was living in Germany and
killed a guy that he gets to walk free. He
was serving a nineteen year sentence. It was a critic
of the Kremlin, which is hard to say quickly, too
(04:08):
early in the morning. He was a critic of the
Kremlin who was killed at a park in Berlin. This
FSB colonel kills them life sentence and not home time.
He's on a plane to Turkey as we speak. The
sailing has been postponed. This is weather related over in France,
so that won't happen today. They did have a couple
(04:28):
of cracks at it. But the really cool news today
is that Brook Francis and Lucy Spores the double skulls.
They got gold. We've got the audio from you. They
ended up in a battle with the Romanians, but we've
got the audio for you. And we're also going to
speak to Kerry Williams, who raced in the same boat
(04:48):
as her sister Jackie and one bronze at the Olympics overnight.
But have listened to this gold medal race, Lucy.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Spores Brook Francis down to the line.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
That's John Old yeap, So there you go. It bout says,
it doesn't it. It's just gone eleven minutes after five.
We're back talking about that report into the death of
baby Malachi.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Next News and Views You Trust to start your day's
early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's
Furniture Beds and a Flying Store.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
News Talk said be thirteen minutes after five. Our child
protection system hasn't shifted enough since the death of totaling
a five year old Malachai subsh who died three years ago.
That's what's come out of the assessment from an independent
Children's monitor report. It found that no subsequent recommendations have
been implemented by the children's agencies, and ordering a Tamadiki
(05:41):
is being forced to make decisions on staff availability rather
than prioritizing a child's safety. Save the Children. New Zealand
advocacy director at Jackie Soudi's with me this morning, Jackie,
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Good morning, Ryan Kilder.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So are you surprised to hear this?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yes, I am quite surprised hear this. The Dame Karen
Patassi review was very thorough. It looked at the death
of malth Pace sou Best, but not in isolation of
that one death, but across a system wide way of working,
and also reviewed thirty three previous reviews to create a
very comprehensive picture about what should change to prevent similar
(06:20):
situations happening.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Jackie, this is not the first report to come up
with a recommendation like this, to come up with a
conclusion like this. Is there anywhere in the world that
does this well, that has a system that actually ensures
the safety of children.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well. Unfortunately, systems around the world do struggle. And what
systems are trying to do or countries that are trying
to improve, it's not about just focusing on the response system,
it's focusing on the pipeline into that system to try
to prevent fewer children being in these situations. This is
a problem worldwide and this is why they're a minut
(07:00):
sterial the first ministerial conference on this globally in Colombia
in November later this year.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
In the meantime, what needs to be addressed straight away, well.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
These recommendations made by Darren Dane Karen Passing, we're very
very clear and are doable. They need to be put
at the forefront. The recommendation for organizations to or agencies
to cross share the information and concerns they have is
more than twenty years old. This call has been going
on for a long time, yet we still fail to
do it, and it seems that people are confused about
(07:36):
how to do this, about where the privacy issues are
more paramount now than the safety of the child or
sharing this information, and also who has the mandate to
make the call on what information to share. Essentially, what
we've got is a system where people are confused about
how to identify abuse and harm, whether to make a report,
(07:58):
and if they do, it's confused about what happens next,
and we need to simplify the system. It needs to
be very clear that when a happens. B c D
will follow.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Because if you're a teacher or a health worker or
whatever and you see what you think is abused, there
should be no question about privacy and how is that
you tell someone right?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Absolutely, and it's not And we're not talking about not
reeling back privacy in terms of genuinely talking about this
in the community. When making disclosure to health police, well
i'm somebody here, privacy should be very tight. And when
sharing the information between these agencies, again, it's not gossiping
about it in the community. It's sharing it at a
(08:40):
very professional level and there should be you know, parameters
and place around that. But that's what people need to trust.
They need to be able to trust and when they
make that recommendation that report a concern because they're so
concerned by what they've seen, that the leads around that
will go into action and the right processes will be followed.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Jackie, thank you very much for your time. That's Jackie Soalthy,
Save the Children, New Zealand's advocacy director talking about that
report in response to the death of Malachi subsh We're
going to talk to one of our medalists overnight from
the rowing in France just before six o'clock. Next compensation
if you were affected by that pylon outage in Northland.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
We'll see Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on
early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and
a playing store.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
News Talk Ziby nineteen after five. Good morning, it is Friday.
Welcome to it. Very quickly. The leaderboard. Where are we sitting?
This is a Paris obviously eleventh as we were at
at the moment. We have five medals in total, two golds.
I didn't wasn't able to find out exactly at this
point in Tokyo where we were at metal wives, but
(09:52):
total in Tokyo we got twentieth, we had seven gold,
so we were thirteenth. Overall we had twenty metal and
seven gold. So sitting on five medals total right now,
two gold and in eleventh position. Not bad. Apparently what
the Americans have been doing is switching it. You know,
you get the more golds you get, the higher up
(10:13):
the leader boards you go. According to the official Olympics stats,
what the Americans have been doing is just going based
off total medals, which puts them a number one. It
has just gone twenty after five. It's been a busy
day for our rowers. The Kei we four this is
the women have taken out of bronze medal overnights on
(10:33):
the squad Kerry Williams and his sister Jackie Gowler the Kiwis,
were placed fourth in the last one thousand meters, surging
past Romania in a push for the finish line.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Netherlands or Great Britain to the line. It's the Netherlands,
Great Britain and in New Zealand bronze medal.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Not Romania at all?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That was the gold race? Joining me now is Olympic
rowert Kirie Williams Carey, good morning, congratulations.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
How does it very exciting?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
How does it feel?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
It's pretty special?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
I think I think it hasn't really sunk in.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
We're kind of just out of the hotel, which is
unfamiliar to us at the moment. But yeah, it's pretty
it's pretty cool. It was a cool day for rowing.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Are you in a car full of medals?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I am in a car full of medals?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There who's in there with you? How many medals are
you holding?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Well?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
We have the woman's double gold medalists and the woman's four.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Fantastic that sex meddles. What a great day for New
Zealand rowing.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I'm so proud of the team and it's really cool
to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And it made extra special obviously because you're in the
boat with your sister Jackie, right yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, yeah, that is pretty cool too to be lining
up with her and to get on the podium.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
How did the race go? How did you find it?
It was? It was obviously a bit of a sprint
at the end there, as it always is.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
Yeah, the race was they said a pretty hot pace
the leading crews, so we had a bit of work
to get back in the race.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
And then we've sort of always said you.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Don't want to end up in a Romanian sprint to
the furnish, and that's where we ended up, but.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Where you came out on the right side. So that's
bloody gout.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's more than bloody good. It's fantastic. So I was
counting your metals up this morning. So you've got a
gold from the pair at Tokyo, you've got an h sorry,
a silver from the eight and now a bronze and
the four. Have I got that right? That the clean sweep?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, yeah, that one of each.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Tell me about your journey to get to these games
because you had a year off, right, What was that for?
And did you did you think you would come back?
Was that always the goal?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
If I'm honest, I didn't think i'd come back.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I needed a break.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
And then I sort of thought that's not like it's
not the ideal time to have a year off and
like a qualification year, but a year out from these games,
I sort of started to be like, I think I
want to be there and and I don't know if
it's too late, And so I just started training again
and here I am.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So what's the lesson we can all learn from that?
Just don't give up, go back to it, keep going
if you've got more in the tank.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Yeah, I think so. I think it was just I
could have.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I could have I guess said no, it's too late,
but I thought I'd give it a crack anyway.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
And it's paid off. So and it's been really cool.
I've really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Are your parents there watching you? Girls?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah? Yeah, the whole family's here.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh fantastic. Well go and enjoy it. You're you're in
a car full of six medals, which is which is great,
As I said, great for rowing, but also great for
New Zealand. We're very proud of you. And we've still
got Emma to go. Tomorrow is Saturday, I think, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Yeah, we have the Lightweight double tomorrow and Emma and
tom on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So we're going to get more gold, don't we. Yeah.
Kerry Williams, congratulations and thanks for your time.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Twenty four minutes after five on news Talk said B
back in a.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Second separating the fact from the fiction. It's Filly edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture Beds and Appliant store.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
News Talk said B. It is twenty six after five,
News Talk said B. Did you see the reaction to
Donald Trump's comments yesterday? If you missed it, this is
what he said about Kamala Harris's race.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
She was Indian all the way, and then all of
a sudden, she made a turn and she went she
became a black.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Just to be clear, sir, I feel.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Somebody should look into that too.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
When you asked a continue in a very hostile, nasty time.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What what? Anyway, the media rightly ran the story and
it was a big deal. Isn't that exactly though, questioning
someone's race? Isn't that exactly what Lawaiti waited he did
to Karen Traaw. Isn't that exactly what he did the
other day in parliament when he asked what blood quantum are?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
You?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Couldn't the same be said of Calvin Davis, saying that
Karen Taw quote lives in a Pucky how world. She's
Maldi by the way, and what about Tapati Maldi. They
said Karen Taw should have been raised by Maldi caregivers
instead of Pucky how ones. This is a woman who's
been through the state care system and claimed that she
(15:46):
had disdain for Maori for her people. This week they
said she's just a puppet of her party and she
was basically left in tears in the hallway TV three.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Was still a person. I'm still a person, and I
feel like I'm getting that stripped away from the day
by day in this place.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
I've had enough.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
No apologies from Tapati MARII, no accountability. I just think
it's sad. Put the politics to one side for a second.
There's a woman crying in a hallway. Wouldn't you want
to just say sorry if what I had said had
made you feel that way. Karen Saw is not a
bad person. You might disagree with her policies, sure, but
(16:35):
also her treatment in the media this week. I think
she's been interrogated more about who bullied her than Julie
and gender ever was about actually bullying. It's a double standard,
no wonder. She's battling and struggling, and then Chippy turns
around and says she's not fit to be a minister.
(16:56):
Gas lighting much. I mean, I hate all these terms.
I hate all these words. Karen Shaw will be fine.
She's a very strong individual. I guess that just annoys
me because if the shoe was on the other foot, imagine,
just imagine, and where's the Human Rights Commission? Where's their
statement on this stuff? You know, you know what I mean,
(17:18):
There'll be attack dogs on social media. You can you
can just imagine how it would play out if the
shoe was on the other foot. I say, keep doing
what you're doing, Karen Shaw. You're hard work and you're
conscientious and you can rise above it. Twenty nine after.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Five The news you need this morning and the in
depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
News Talks.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It'd be.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Twenty four away from six. You're on news Talks. They'd
be with me, Ryan Bridge, Good morning. Three fights going
on this morning, which we'll talk about. One is that
scrap between all the federal reserves central banks to cut
interest rates, and the Bank of England has done that.
I'll get to that in a second. Obviously the US
is held steady, they won't cut till September. But to
(18:26):
the Olympics, this is a gender rowl, but not a
transgender rowl. Slightly confusing. So there's an Algerian boxer who's
been deemed to have male chromosomes and they want to
fight against a women boxer. This is in the sixty
six kilo women's division. This person, the Algerian, smacked the Italian.
The Italian woman cries calls the fight off at last
(18:49):
forty six seconds. So apparently the Algerian was disqualified by
the International Boxing Association in twenty twenty three, but the
Olympics have looser rules. So this Algerian boxer with male
chromosomes has beaten a female boxer, if that makes sense
to you. But it's not a transgender thing. It's an
(19:11):
intersex thing. So the Algerian apparently is intersex. You go
twenty three minutes away from six o'clock. Also in fighting
news this morning, Tesla Boss Elon Musk is going to
have a scrap with Venezuela's president. Yep, it's a real thing.
(19:34):
So you know, this is the guy that's been Maduro
who's been accused of stealing the election. This week, Elon
Musk has apparently been taunting him, sending tweet after tweet
after tweet after tweet, a tweet barrage fifty of them, apparently,
and Maduro has replied, do you want to fight me?
Elon Musk, Let's do it. I'm ready. This is the
head of state. Elon Musk says, I accept, but I
(19:57):
bet he'll chicken out anyway. He doesn't have much credibility,
that is Musk when it comes to scrapping, because remember
he challenged Zuckerberg to a cage fight any place, anytime.
Turned out that place was nowhere and the time was
never twenty two to six Cryan Bridge, Clum Proctors and
Dunedin forest Culum. Good morning, the Otago Regional Council's very
(20:21):
expensive land and water plan.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Yeah, morning, Ryan, that's right. It's very much in the
forefront of farmers around our region. The Regional Council's addressing
these concerns around costs involved with this plan. Environment Minister
Penny Simons is seeking information around the costs. Federated Farmers
Otago say they've seen reports suggesting this plan will cost
more than one hundred and ten million dollars. That's just
(20:46):
for two small Otago towns. Council Chair Gretchen Robertson says, look,
they've been working on a draft since twenty twenty. They've
consulted more than fifty groups, including Federated Farmers, and she
wants to make it clear the plan does not include
land based water discharge costs.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Very expensive. How's the weather today, Callum.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
The odd shower at first fine breaks this afternoon for
danedin sou westerlies and ten degrees.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Thank you, and Claire Shewards for us in christ Church
that ice rink remains closed. Clear.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
Yes, this is after a thirteen year old student died
at a during a school trip earlier this week. Ryan,
So this thirteen year old was injured at Alpine Ice
on Tuesday after falling Highata Community campus as well as
a family member confirmed her death yesterday on social media.
The facility has been closed to the public since the incident.
On Tuesday, WORKSAFES opened an investigation into the safety procedures
(21:42):
and policies in place for risk management. A spokesperson says
students should be able to participate safely and family must
have confidence their children will be kept safe.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
How's weather today, Claire, Cloudy.
Speaker 11 (21:55):
With chowers about Bank's Peninsula south of Westeries. A high
of ten here two and then a cold tonight. We're
expecting minus five.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh, that's chilli. Thanks clear. Let's got a Max toll
on Wellington Max. A University wants to divest itself from
Israeli government bonds. Let me guess Victoria.
Speaker 12 (22:12):
It is Victoria. It's a foundation holds one hundred and
nine million dollars in overall investments. A small fraction of that,
about forty seven forty eight thousand dollars, is invested in
Israeli government bonds via an external AMZ funds. A lot
of students don't like it. We asked the university for
more detail. They told us they are now trying to
divest by the end of the month. Massi University is
(22:34):
in a similar spot. Actually, its investments include Israeli government bonds,
which are there have prompted protests on campus. Its art
department recently covered in pro Gaza graffiti. When we ask
Massi about their bonds, they didn't say anything about divesting.
They said all of its investments are responsible. The income
from which it goes towards student scholarships academics research at Massi,
(22:57):
a topic that mindful Money has been on too lately,
pointing out to you know, a lot of our kiwisaver
funds at the moment invested in weapons used in Gaza.
The main thing always is transparency.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Thanks so much for that, Max.
Speaker 12 (23:10):
Your weather today cold as well, early showers, clearing, strong
southerly's high of nine in the city and never ready
manages with.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Us in Auckland. Never good morning. Are you an ethical investor? No? No,
I goes to the biggest whatever gets me the biggest
bang from a buck, tobacco companies, arms dealers. I don't
cared about everything gay or big oil, love, big farmer.
Oh are you hey? The pools.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
The pools.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Yes, no, I know we mentioned this a few days
ago because they were having this meeting, but we have
a result. So Auckland Council they're going to continue to
manage the polls and the leisure centers that are under
its control because there was a proposal now that was
to outsource the operation to private operators. Now that was
not adopted at yesterday's council meeting. So you know, while
(24:01):
it'll mean pretty much business as usual, council will now
work with the unions and stuff. They've got to find
three million dollars and your savings across its network. So yeah,
so what does that mean.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, that's hard, isn't it Because it's not like you
can just close a few lanes of the pool. No,
I mean it's You've still got to pay for the
same number of lifeguards, don't It's right, So how do
you save three million dollars? Yes, I mean opening.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Hours, opening hours, because.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
They are they're not very busy during the middle of
the day.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Do you go.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I mean I don't go to the pools, I must admit,
but you.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Do, yeah, yeah, And and they're obviously very busy in
the morning. People are wanting to do their lengths and
then very busy in the evening and probably I imagine
there's a school run in there somewhere. That's right, but
during the middle of the day you could probably close it.
Speaker 8 (24:42):
Well, it's the equad joggers. I mean I did used
to do equad jogging, go to those classes with the
old biddies there at ten am. That was quite good.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, I suppose I forgot about the old biddies or.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Should I say old biddies guys. Shouldn't say that young people? Yes,
sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, no interesting. Hopefully they can sort something out because
it'd be shamed to lose one.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Or more than wouldn't ezactly, it's quite right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Thanks so much for that. Never it is, well, should
I do the weather? Sorry, this is the main part.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
This is what the orcland does really want a year
because all the fund Putoa. There's periods of rain, possibly heavy,
and then elsewhere round Auckland the odd shower clearing this afternoon.
Auckland's high fourteen not as cold as the south. I'd
know who'd clear Engine minus five and christ Church minus five.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Have a nice week in christ Church it is sixteen
away from six.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a Playing Store. Youth Talk said be.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Fourteen away from six. The US federal reservers held the
interest rates. They're steady. As we talked about yesterday, that
was always going to happen, but it now means that
they've got to make a cut, probably going to make
a cut in September, which is just before the election,
which will be a politically charged cut. But you got
to do what you've got to do. They've got a
job to do and they're dependent too. The Bank of
(26:01):
England overnight, on the other hand, has cut for the
first time in four years. They've cut a quarter of
a percent down to five percent. And you might ask
why not go harder because you look at their inflation
numbers it's two percent, which is at target, so they
have reached target. Why are they not cutting more aggressively?
Why not get a chainsaw out? Well, nobody wants to
(26:23):
cut too far, too fast and have and risk having
Inflation ticked back up. Also in the UK, services inflation
was unexpectedly high for June. What drove that dig a
little deeper. What do you get to Taylor Swift Hotel
costs went up because of their concerts, but also people
have phone contracts that they got took out when inflation
(26:44):
was really high, so they're very expensive. So those services
costs still quite high. In a bit of a worry
there for the Bank of England. It is thirteen to
six International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of
mind for New Zealand business Vint Mekaznix now UK and
europe correspondents with all the details, all the juice on
this UIs Russia and I should say European prisoner swap Vincent.
Speaker 13 (27:10):
Yeah, that's right. This was thought to be coming for
a few days, but this surprise announcement this afternoon that
this deal has been agreed. Twenty fourth prisoners being held
in six countries, sixteen detainees from the West being swapped
with eight who are returning to Russia. This is the
biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the Cold War,
(27:33):
if you exclude some of those that have been in
the Ukraine conflict, and of course the most famous of
those Evan Guskovich, the Wall Street journal journalist. He is
being returned in exchange, the Russians have managed to get
the dim Krasikoff, who German officials identified as a colonel
in the colonel in Russia's FSB intelligence service. This swap
(27:57):
happened in the last few hours via and President Biden
has been given a press conference in the White House
marking the end of what he's said to be a
brutal ordeal for many of these families and the victims,
and has been seeing as quite a diplomatic triumph for
President Biden, whose administration has been working on this for
years to coordinate with multiple countries, as you mentioned, across
(28:20):
Europe to get this exchange over the line.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, it's pretty incredible that they hand over a convicted
murderer though from Germany, isn't it, hey, Vincent that rioting
that happened in Southport. The murder accused has now been
named and appeared in court. Who is this person?
Speaker 13 (28:39):
Yeah, this's a seventeen year old Axel Ruder Kubana now
under eighteens in British justice are normally kept anonymized unless
there is a public interest in revealing. The newspapers here
mounted a claim and that was accepted by the judge
that he should be identified given the nature of the crime.
He has been charged for three counts of murder, ten
(29:02):
counts of attempted murder and one counter possessing a bladed article.
He's been remanded in youth custody and of course this
is a complex operation. This traveling likely to take place
next year at the earliest. But what's been interesting is
the Kirstama has taken to Downing Street for a press
conference this afternoon where he's been denouncing the actions of
(29:23):
what he said were gangs of thugs who've exploited this
tragedy and traveled to Southport and then to Downing Street
last night fueled by false information wilfully being put out
on social media by the far rights, not just in
this country but other countries to soak up resentment towards
migrants to this country. And we have over one hundred
(29:46):
rests in London's night for what was a pretty violent,
horrible protest. At some point Nazi salutes were spotted in it,
all of them claiming that they were there because they
wanted to see greater child protection, but really it was
a pretty ugly affair.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Sounds thanks so much of your time, Vincent mcaviniy Ore
UKN you're a correspondent. It is nine away from six
Ryan Bridge, almost two months on from the major power
outage in Northland. Transpower say compensation is off the table
for those impacted. The tower was being cleaned when a
worker removed too many nuts, causing it to collapse while
the team leader was busy sand blasting the North Chamber
(30:23):
Chief Executives Darren Fisher, Darren, good morning, Good morning Ryan.
So we know what happened now there was a problem,
too many nuts taken out, not enough attention being paid,
but no compensation, although I do note that the Transpower
says they might look at a donation of sorts to
the community. What do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:44):
Pretty cringe worthy yesterday, wasn't it, Ryan. I mean it's
almost like watching the spin doctors at work. But I'm
talking about giving an MP one hundred thousand dollars to
hand out ice creams at the local amp show is
very different to compensation to a business. Trying to maintain
the employment of six hundred people in a small regional
(31:05):
town is a huge difference. I mean, an average household
in New Zealand earns one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars a year in Northold. That's one hundred thousand dollars
a year typically made up of one bread winner and
one secondary Incomuna. Now, in a place like Kaitaia, where
six hundred people are reliant on one big business staying alive,
(31:28):
the direct result of what has happened here with transpier
puts those things in jeopardy. And I'm calling for that
board and that management to have put their big boy
pants on, get on an aeroplane, get up here and
front up to these local communities and explain why their
negligence is putting their livelihoods at risk.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Was that a serious suggestion to give the MP ice creams?
Speaker 9 (31:50):
It's a serious suggestion that the MP has been down
in Wellington saying you need to make a good will
donation to the people of Northold and do something community
wide and be good Samaritans here. But this is that's
a very different conversation to keeping people in serious employment.
Transpower have got values on their website talking about how
(32:12):
they are good social citizens and how they're good community people. Well,
what they're about to do through their negligence and avoiding
all of this conversation is absolutely crush a workforce in
small community towns like Katya.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Darren Fisher is with North Chamber and he's the chief
executive there. He wants the Board of Transpower up North
a SAP to answer some questions. Please and no, we
don't want ice creams at the AMP show seven minutes
away from sex Mic.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Hosking next 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 Talks.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It is four minutes away from Sexer on news Talk said,
b did you see Elon Musk is gonna want fight?
Speaker 14 (33:01):
You were quite right to point out. Elon Musk is
just a big loudmouth who would be better served building cars.
He doesn't have to recall so that and putting out
the cars he says he's going to build but never does.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Instead of tweeting one hundred percent.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
So if you spent if you spent less time buying
X and ruining it and more time actually putting together
some cars that work, we'd all be grateful to him
for doing it.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
It's it's sort of entertaining, though, isn't it When someone challenges,
you know when.
Speaker 14 (33:27):
Grown men, if it ever came to something, because I
had because of you. If you've seen Zuckerberg, he's he's
a proper athlete, he's a something, and he would have
smacked the be Jesus out of Elon Musk. So I
don't know about Maduro and what sort of shape he's
And Brook Francis will talk to this morning, Oh great,
who's the gold medalist? And Mum of course, saw a
(33:48):
lovely photo of her this morning with her husband and
her little one are over there. And I suppose that's
half the thrill of the Olympics, doesn't it have your
family there and you know, enjoying the because I mean,
what a sacrifice to be able to go.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
To lots of sisters there too.
Speaker 14 (34:01):
Yeah, the whole way year there's there's a family thing
going on and rowing, isn't there. My one of my
great fascinations has always been the all we've got.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
