On the Early Edition with Ryan Bridge Full Show Podcast for Wednesday 18th of September, Kiwi youth are facing more criminal charges according to the latest justice figures. Youth development worker Aaron Hendry joins the show to discuss the findings.
New insulation standards could cost as little as $2,200 extra for a new build 3-bedroom house, but why is that so much lower than the $40,000 to $50,000 the building and construction minister says it would cost? YourQS author Nick Clements joined Ryan to explain.
New research has found that in 2022 and 2023, more than one in five 15-24 year olds experienced high levels of psychological distress. So how do we build resilience in our kids? Research author Dr Seungyeon Kim explains.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge new
for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture bands and a play at store. News
dogs'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good morning, six after five? News doorgsai'd be coming up
this morning just before six? Young people and why they
might be caught up in the new gang patch band
at home insulation? How much does it really cost to
stick to the new standards that were introduced last year?
New numbers out on that. We'll get to that shortly. Also,
Vincent mcavinie in the UK new restrictions for teenagers when
(00:38):
using social media. There it's gone six after five the
agenda it is whenesday, the eighteenth of August. Good morning.
Hundreds of HESBELA members have been injured after their pages exploded. Yeah,
pages like we used to use in the nineties. They're
still using them there. Quite important because if your Wi
Fi is down and your phone signals down, pages still
(01:00):
run on radio signal. Lebanon's capital be route is the
center of these. It seems unconfirmed. CCTV video shows an
explosion coming from a man's bag while he's shopping. Wow,
now we go to a new press conference on p
(01:21):
Diddy Sean Diddy Combs is being charged with sex trafficking,
transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
The name and.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Alleges are between at least two thousand and eight and
the present. Coln's abused, threatened and coerce victims to fulfill
his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Auckland's Ojo Pulp Mill will decide at eight o'clock this
morning whether it will go ahead with a proposal to
close down, costing seventy five jobs. The price of energy
was cited as a key reason for the proposal. It
comes two weeks after two hundred and thirty people lost
their jobs with the closure of Windstone Pulp International Central
Northounland Mills. And to the United States, we go so
(02:00):
far from toning down the rhetoric. Hillary Clinton is out
there labeling Trump again as dangerous to both America and
the world.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I believe Donald Trump has just qualified himself over and
over and over again to be a presidential candidate, let
alone a president.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture beds and a playing store,
news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It'd be you got to wonder what the pages was
that Israel? You know, did Iran send them some faulty products?
As I mentioned earlier, the more reliable forms of communication.
I thought they had died with the nineties, frankly, but
they are still widely used because they can use radio
signals and when the phone signals down, et cetera. They
(02:50):
can be used for short messages. I don't know what
terrorists with, what messages they would send to each other,
like three two one fire or I don't know, but anyway,
they are using them, and they are harming them. At
the moment. They were a recently received delivery, not sure
where from at this point, but a whole package of
them basically arrived, They put them on, and up to
(03:11):
a thousand of them have now blown up. Wounds included
severed fingers, head injuries, and large gashes to people's torsos.
So not particularly nice though they're not particularly nice people,
are they, So do you feel sorry for them? Probably?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Not.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Nine minutes after five Scotland. We'll get to the global
dairy trade numbers in a second, by the way, but
Scotland is hosting the Games. This is the Commonwealth Games
for twenty twenty six Australia. Did you know how much
the State of Victoria had to pay in or as
compensation for failing to have the games that they said
they would have and then change their mind. Three hundred
(03:47):
and ninety million sorry, three hundred and eighty million dollars
compensation and two hundred million of that is going to Glasgow.
I don't particularly like Glasgow. I've never been there, to
be fair, but I've just listened to a couple podcasts
crime podcasts recently. It sounds like a terrible place one
you can't understand them too, you get stabbed. So don't
go to Glasgow and the sports. By the way, only
(04:11):
ten sports will now take place at this Commonwealth Games,
hundreds fewer athletes, No athletes, village, no opening and closing
ceremonies with much fanfare. It's a very scale back budget version.
It sounds like school sports day. I would rather go
to the Ames Games in total, And to be honest
with you, just gone ten minutes after five, Ryan Bridge.
(04:37):
So the farmers filling up beats off the back of
yesterday we had fed farmers on they've revised up their
dairy payout interest rate. There were a couple of reasons.
Interest rates are coming down, commodity prices going up, and
today's global dairy trade auction results are in up zero
point eight percent overall, which I think it was up
(04:59):
point four percent the last time. There was a big
jump up five point five percent a month ago. So
looking at the numbers, butter up one point seven percent overnight,
chad her up two point nine percent. The big one
for US is milk powders up two point two percent
and whole milk one point five percent. Of course, there
are biggest export commodity worth about fourteen percent of our
(05:22):
export receipts, so those are both up, which is good.
It is eleven minutes half to five. You're on news Talk,
said B. We'll be back in just a second.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture,
Beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
News Talk SIV fourteen after five News Talks said B.
Stocks are up. In the States, they are picking a
bigger juicier half a percent cut to the interest rates
there the federal reserves first rate cut in four years
is expected tomorrow, so stocks are up picking a half
rather than a quarter of a percent. Overnight, we had
(06:04):
retail sales come in up point one percent. This is
for August monthly figures. The year on year was up
two point one percent, so that is some good news
for the States. Obviously important for US, it's the biggest
economy in the world. There is a time lag for
any cuts to take effect over there because remember most
of their mortgages are on for like thirty years as
opposed to us, which are much shorter periods. Just gone
(06:26):
fourteen after five Bryan Bridge. Remember the insulation debate new
h one insulation standards. The Minister Chris Penk said, well,
he didn't say, but he quoted figures that it could
be around forty to fifty thousand dollars extra to meet
the new standards per house that's been built. He said
that in July, and now we've had some numbers done.
(06:49):
It could cost as little as two thousand, two hundred
dollars to add to a new three bedroom house. That's
according to quantity surveying your QS who put the numbers
together for EBOS and New Zealand Certified Builders and Nick
clements is your QS author, Nick, Thanks for being with
us this morning. Really tell me what is that two
(07:11):
two hundred dollars estimate?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
What is that for?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
So that's the cost impact of meeting the new H
one standard which changed for the twenty twenty three last year?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Is this for the country wide? The average? How big
a home are we talking?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
It was a two bedroom about one hundred and forty
square meter two story, our three bedroom, two story one
hundred and forty square meter home based on their auklaand
regions are sort of the upper half of the North Island, Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And is this if you if you start the work
on the H one from design phase.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
So with H one, there's two ways of complying with
the standard. There's something called schedule method and then the
other option is calculation method. So how I describe it
to people is there's four different levers that a designer
can pull to enable them enable their designed to meet
the standard. And those levers are the insulation and the
(08:11):
thermal performance of the floor, the walls, the windows, or
the ceiling, the roof. And if you do it by
schedule met that it basically pushes all of those leaden
leavers to ten. So it basically ensures that the building
complies by making sure everything is up to a particular standard.
But what the calculation method allows the designer to do
is work out the film performance of that particular building,
(08:35):
so that design that size, floor area area, window area,
and then they can pull each of those levers individually
to meet a design criteria so it meets the performance
required for the standard. And the thing is that each
of those levers has different costs. Each click on that
lever costs a different amount amount of money. And what
(08:55):
we did with the exercise where is basically looked at
each of those levers and looked at what was the
in that case, what was the minimum we could do
to meet the standard, and what was the cost of
each of those ex changes. And so you're able to
it's a bit more refined than what the schedule method is.
The schedual method puts everything basically the most extensive option,
really okay, Whereas that's the calculation method you can refine.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So you haven't obviously done a lot of work on this.
The minister hadn't. He was using numbers that were given
to him by a few random builders. Is there any way,
it could cost forty to fifty thousand dollars for a house,
a three four bedroom house, as he's indicated.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I don't think so, No, it would it would seem
pretty high.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Is there a difference? Can you are there? Is there
an allowance for a difference per region because it's obviously
warmer up north than it is down south in these standards.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, in the in the code what they call us
the R rating, which is the indication of the film performance.
And so you've got to meet a different R venue
down south than you do in the North Island, right,
But it wouldn't and it would be more extensive to
meet that higher R venue because you've got to have
a higher performing component to get there. But I didn't
actually do the exercise on the other parts of the country,
(10:05):
but I don't believe it would make that much of
a difference.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
All Right, Thank you very much for your time this morning.
Sounds like the Minister we'll be taking this one on board.
Nick clements with us, the your QS author of the numbers.
They've run the numbers on the new H one instulation
standards and found actually it's a fraction of what we
were led to believe eighteen minutes after five News Talk
ZB Coming up next, we're going to talk about kids
in their resilience. A new report out this morning from
(10:29):
Sir Peter Gluckman's outfit at the University of Auckland interesting.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge new for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand,
Furniture beds and a play at store News Talk ZED.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Be welcome to your Wednesday morning twenty one after five.
Justin Trudeau is in more trouble, more bad news for Trudeau.
Might be time to say goodbye. He's been in office
for nine years now and they've just lost His party
has just lost a very what was a safe seat
in Montreal and can it feels like the end of
his time and power? I think, doesn't it. He's down
(11:06):
in the polls. People are getting sick of him. Nine
years is a long time to be on the world stage.
He's been there for I mean, you think Chi Jingping,
you think Putin, and you think Trudeau. He's stuck around.
He's almost angle and mercle grip on power. He's almost
in that sort of level is echelon, isn't he? Meanwhile,
you look at Australia. You look at the Brits. I
mean they've chewed through them, haven't they like a wood chipper.
(11:27):
So the election over in Canada must be held by
tobat the twenty October twenty twenty five. So he's got
a bit of time up his sleeve. But he'd have
to be pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I
would have thought twenty one after five bred you research
this morning which suggests we need to toughen up our
kids a bit to help address the increase in mental
health issues that they're experiencing. This is a new Auckland
(11:50):
University paper. It says in twenty twenty two and twenty
twenty three, more than one in five of our fifteen
to twenty four year olds experienced high levels of psychological distress,
noting our youth suicide rate is one of the highest
in the developed world. The papers suggesting we focus on
developing skills and young people that provide a foundation for resilience.
Doctor Sung Yung Kim is with US Center for Informed
(12:13):
Futures and author at the University of Auckland. Thank you
for being with us. Good morning, Good morning Ran. So
obviously kids are saying that they're reporting that they're feeling
less well more unwell mentally. What do you think's behind that?
Speaker 8 (12:30):
It seems like there are a lot of things that
are contributing to a young person's mental health and well being,
things such as the socioeconomic status, relationships, things happening at home.
A lot of fact there is coupled with the rapidly
changing digital and social environments.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Do we punish our kids enough? Do we set them
clear enough boundaries and then follow through with consequences. Is
that part of the reason that they feeling lost.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
It's hard to say, and it's uncertain whether it's the punishing,
but research is showing that there is an importance of
having warm, nurturing relationships with young people.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
We arguably have more warm nurturing relationships with young people
now than we've ever had before, and yet their mental
health is worse. So how does that work?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Right?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
So it's important to look at these relationships.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
In a sense of not.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
In a way that allows young people to do things
lit up boundaries or introducing boundaries, but looking at how
these relationships are, how we interact with young people, and
how these interactions addresses their needs.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
All right, Thank you very much for your time this morning.
Dr sim Young Kim, the Center for Informed Futures at
the University of Auckland. It's Peter Gluckman's outfit just gone.
Twenty four minutes after five nine two the number to text.
Would love to hear from you this morning. Ryan Hisbola
thought using pages and avoiding mobile phones would insulate them
from attacks by Israel. Clearly it hasn't. No terrorists should
(14:17):
ever feel safe. Thanks Peter. This is if you're just
joining us up to a thousand he bull of fighters
his BLA terrorists in Lebanon have been hurt or injured
because their pages have exploded simultaneously. Ryan, Trudeau is hated.
Been in power for too long, much like our Jacindra
(14:37):
a Jern says Luke Luk. Yeah, although Justina was only
in power for really five years, five and a bit years,
Trudeau's been there for nine and by the time he
leaves office, if he sticks around to the next election
and gets the boot, that would be almost ten, wouldn't it.
Twenty five after five the early.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Edition Full show podcast on Ironart Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If Thy News talks, Here's why we should care about
what sounds like a bit of an obscure trip from
some US officials to Beijing this week. They are going
to meet to talk to their counterparts about a wave
of Chinese goods flooding world markets. So output. China obviously
has enormous manufacturing capacity, an enormous machine behind it, and
(15:24):
the output has gotten too large for the world to absorb.
The strategy by China they reckon, and this is why
the US officials are going there. The strategy is demand
at home is a bit weaker for them, so they
pump up production and they ship the excess offshore. The
idea is they would build more resilient supply chains throughout
(15:45):
the world. They'll get us hooked on cheap goods. I mean,
think we're like crack addicts at a dollar store, aren't
we Think about EV's the huge subsidies.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That go on there.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You know, your temuchine, those types of websites, and they
are squeeze in the process, squeezing other manufacturers around the world,
including the United States, which is why the United States
is setting a delegation to go and say stop that please.
It's also why you're seeing a response, a tariff response
from Europe from the US. Even some friendly Asian states,
(16:16):
even places like Indonesia are starting to put tariffs on China.
The goal seems to be from them, subsidize these manufacturers,
flood the market around the world, build supply lines, resilient
supply lines, hook us in on these cheap goods, and
(16:36):
in the process destroy the competition. Ryan Bridge in the
eight minutes half to five. So anyway, that US delegation
is going to go and I mean, what do you do? Hey,
stop doing that. Okay, that's it going to change anything. Now,
we have a customer advice notice that has gone out
this morning from the system operator to our electricity companies
(16:59):
and they are asking for this is between the hours
of seven and eight thirty am If I got that right, Leo.
They are asking for a reduction in the energy use.
Basically because it's cold, people are going to put the
heat pumps on, et cetera. As you're waking up this morning.
So we'll tell you more about that as we learn it.
There was one issued last night and another that has
(17:19):
been issued from seven to eight thirty this morning. Look,
if you cold, put heat pump on. Honestly, we are
you going to sit there and freeze. Just gone twenty
nine minutes after five. Welcome to your Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a plying store.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
News Talk said B. Good morning, it is twenty four
minutes away from six. You're on news Talk, said B.
I'm Ryan Bridge. It is Wednesday, the eighteenth of September.
Great to have your company. Some good advice from one
of our listeners here as there's a power crunch this morning.
(18:08):
Everyone's turning the heat pumps on because it's cold. If
you're cold, put on some more warm clothes, a hatch,
some gloves, some socks, a scarf, woolen clothes, hot water
bottles are great. Who needs alchricity? Honestly, thank you and
I don't know who you are, but you just immediately
sound like my mother. Put a jersey on if you're hungry,
(18:31):
have a glass of water. Twenty three minutes away from
six News Talks, there'd be Tory Farno is living in
an apartment in the city in Wellington. She's just purchased one.
This is part of the revelations from Nick Mills interview
with Tory Farno yesterday, in which she announced to the
world that she had sold her car to try and
(18:52):
help with paying the bills. Not sure what kind of
Carritter is. She won't say, you won't say how much
it costs, how much you got for it, whatever. But
interestingly she was asked about the half a million dollar
bike rack that Wellington City Council has paid for, and
Nick did a great job of saying, how on earth
can you justify this? This is her response, So when
you think about.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Our multi billion dollar budget, this is like a small
mistake in the widest scheme of things, and I admit that.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Tell you what else was a small mistake was buying
an apartment in central Wellington. At the moment yesterday trade
me numbers came out, So if you own an apartment
in central Wellington, sorry, but your value has gone down
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars since April, so just
in the last couple of months. It is bad buying. Obviously,
there's some earthquake issues. There's car park issues because where
(19:42):
do you park your car, although Toy doesn't have one
bit of a bad of investments. So the average apartment
lost one hundred and fifty k off their value since
April one to two, Betties down nine point seven percent
to six hundred and fifty one thousand dollars. A spot
of bother. I would have thought as well, if you
your job in the public service, you've just bought this house,
(20:02):
the values dropping, your mortgage rates are high, you could
be in a bit of a tight spot. Twenty two
to six, Ryan Bridge. It's got to our reporters around
the country Culum is in needing with us this morning column.
The government being urged to keep its promise on the
new hospital. There yr morning Ryan.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
The dined And City Council and the New Zealand Nurses
Organization reactivating their campaign in opposition to any clinical cuts
to this one point five billion dollar project. There have
been recent reports of cuts being considered for the new
inpatient building and so ourmyr Juels Radick and n ZnO
delegate Linda Smiley met Health Minister Doctor Shane Retti and
Wellington yesterday and they presented him with an earlier petition
(20:43):
which had twenty three thousand signatures against previously proposed cuts
to the new hospital. Radicks come away saying the Minister's
told him there will be no cuts to this project
and this campaign puts them on notice that they expect
nothing less. All right, how's your weather today? Culum morning
frost's but partly cloud a few showers later this afternoon
northwesters and fifteen today.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Thank you. Claire is in christ Church with us this morning. Claire,
good morning. Do you not pay for parking at the
at Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens right now?
Speaker 10 (21:13):
It's so very christ Church of us, isn't it. We
do not pay at the moment, but we soon will
be and people are not happy about it. Christ Church
City Councilors will today formalize these plans Ryan, which is
to introduce paid parking to a couple of key areas.
It will mean at costs to park at areas within
Hagley Park, so that includes for those who know by
the Horticultural Center and the Cricket Oval, as well as
(21:36):
the Botanic Gardens, parking areas off Ricketon Ab and also
RMR Street. This decision confirms some new rules which were
put through with the long term plan, but it means
that council can basically enforce them. The car parks will
keep a current one hundred and eighty minute limit, but
there'll be seven days a week from eight till five.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right, Claire. How's your weather today?
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Frosty and cold to start as well, A few showers
expected today, high cloud this afternoon, these turning westerly and
a high of fifteen.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Thank you. We're just getting more information about this squeeze
on electricity this morning. Apparently there's a fault at a
gas field in the North Island which has led to
the low generation, which has led to the warnings by
Transpower saying just and this is by the way, warnings
to the electricity companies rather than from trans rather than
to customers directly saying just tie hoe on heat pumps
(22:25):
and things like that, or you know, doing your laundry.
I guess between the hours of seven and eight thirty
am this morning, Max toll is in Wellington, heymax, Good morning.
This Kitty Allen debarcle with the redacted report. What's going on?
Speaker 12 (22:41):
Yeah, so we learn more about the former Justice minister's
downfall on Sunday in the Herald. New information from the
police file released relating to the car crash in Wellington
last July that she initially blew over the criminal level,
which is four hundred. But when she gave her evidential
test three hours later, hour and a half after arriving
at the police station, that had fallen to three three five,
(23:05):
that she was found walking away from the scene that
she initially told officers the only time she was driving
was she was trying to move her car off the road.
Wouldn't say who the driver was. But what we mainly
got in the police file was a lot of black ink,
very very much redacted and a lot hidden from the public.
Police have told as privacy was the main reason for that,
balancing it with public interest, but also that the views
(23:27):
of the individual were taken into account, that she was
consulted and so it's been sent to the Ombudsman. Story
by Melissa Nightingale on The Herald's site this morning.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That does seem odd that you'd ask her for her
opinion on what they should redect.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Weather today Max mainly fine thirteen the high Central.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, let's go to Neva in Auckland. Never good morning,
Good morning. The workers, seventy five of them at this
Auckland recycling mill. We're only a couple of hours away
from a decision on.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I know, look, this is the OG pulp mill in Penrose.
Now it's going to decide at eight am whether it's
going to go ahead with the proposal to close down.
And this is citing the price of energy is a
key reason which has hit quite a few of the
mills in the country. First Union says, look, this is
an integral part of our recycling system and if it closes,
(24:15):
what this means that paper and card recycling will instead
be sent off shorter Malaysia for processing. So the unions
come into it. Organizer Justin Wallace says, you know they're
calling on OG to reverse its proposal take up some
of the union generator proposals. But we'll know more at
eight am.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
All right, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Neva.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
It has just gone seventeen minutes away from six. You're
on news Talk saib if you're not putting you oh sorry, weather,
that's right.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
I was still sitting here patiently. And did you get
caught in the storm yesterday?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well I didn't get caught, but it was more stormy
than the day before, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah, it was, wasn't it. Well today we're going to
have fine spells. We're going to see a bit of
the sun. There will be a few showers, but fifteen's
are high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (24:56):

He's with us on this this morning. Vincent, what's going
on here?
Speaker 13 (26:20):
Well, it's an extraordinary story. It's something out of a
spy movie or something like Slow Horses the TV show.
Because this is unprecedented, it seems that and we believe
it was Israel because they haven't denied it, but they
haven't said anything else otherwise. They've managed to penetrate into
the production line of these pages. It's believed insert some
kind of small explosive and they've managed to detonate them
(26:44):
simultaneous to today across Lebanon and the group Hendler uses
pages instead of mobile phones because they've had experience in
the past with them being blown up, being tampered with
by Israel, and so they thought pages were safe, but
it seems that isn't the case. Extraordinary footage is coming
out of these pages, detonating across the country, severely im
(27:05):
injuring people in this network and even killing some of
them as well.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
In no word as you say it from Israel. Let's
talk about the UK teenagers being hit with some new
Instagram restrictions.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 13 (27:20):
Instagram has been coming under increasing press pressure here in
the UK when it comes to young people. There has
been incidences where people, very young people have been sort
of fed through the algorithm self harm and even pro
suicide material and there have been some tragic events in
relation to that. And Instagram has been trying to combat this,
(27:40):
and now they're rolling out special accounts from thirteen to
fifteen year olds. You can't be on it younger than thirteen.
This will give sort of everything will be immediately locked away.
It'll be the parents only who can control the settings
on this And it's a way that the NSPCC, which
is our child Protection area agency here, says that Instagram
(28:01):
is going in the right direction, but it's still not
doing enough. It's still not properly verifying people's ages, and
the emphasis is on the parents and the children, not
Instagram itself, to make sure that it is a safe
environment for people to be on.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Insane, isn't it. Thank you very much for that. Vincent Macaviny,
a UK and europe correspondent, just gone eleven minutes away
from six Imagine that you can have a product, and
you are legally able to sell a product and to
promote a product that is giving some young people thoughts
and ideas about how to end their own lives. It
just blows the mind, doesn't it. Eleven to six Bridge.
(28:37):
Speaking of young people, the number of criminal charges against
children and teenagers has spiked in the last year, theft, robbery,
burglary all seeing the biggest increases. According to data from
the Ministry of Justice, there were more than five thousand
theft charges against those aged ten to seventeen, which is
a forty one percent increase compared to the previous year. However,
(28:57):
the number of young people charged hasn't gone up nearly
as steeply, meaning that young offenders are on average committing
more crimes per person. Aaron Hendry is a youth development worker.
Is with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Hey Erin, Hey good mate.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Good thank you, thanks for being with me this morning.
Does this mean that we've got more hardcore young criminals,
young offenders.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I think what's really important to look at there is
one of those increase in the data is theft.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
One of the key drivers of youth crime is poverty
and inequality. A lot of the policies that we've seen
go out just recently accreating that environment where these sort
of crimes would increase. You know, we're seeing more young
people pushed in the hardshat, pushed into poverty, pushed into homelessness,
and so it's not really surprising to see this data.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Are they stealing bread or are they stealing jewelry, vakes
and booze.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It's often a matter of survival, right, So the product
isn't necessarily what we focus on. It's actually the reason
why they're doing it, right, So that theft is often
very much connected to needing to get by, about being
pushed into environments where they're desperate and they see this
is the only way out.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But if you're stealing vapes, I mean, you don't need
that for survival do you.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah. Look, I mean in terms of vapes specific products.
You know, at times it sound selling, it's times it's
because you're working. You know, For every gang or a community,
the bigger issue is the reason why those young people
and those children are in the environment in the first place.
And what we know is the context for a lot
of these young people is they're coming from homes where
(30:35):
there's a lot of poverty, where there's housing and security.
Some of these young people are experiencing homelessness, and that
is the key driving factor is why they're involved in
this behavior in the first place.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
The cops did a big common Chero's announcement yesterday that
going after that gang that we've somewhat imported from Australia.
Do you think that that will solve our problems? You know,
because obviously there's young people out there who are at
a loose end. We don't want them joining gangs. Do
you think this is going to make a difference.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I think if we are really serious about seeing some
change in this area, then we need to really aggress
with what the evidence is right and what we know
about how we reduce youth crime. Is we focus very
much on what is going on in the environment of
those young people. And so a lot of the young
people that we know that are coming through the justice system,
they're coming from homes where there's extreme poverty, there's inequality,
(31:25):
there's homelessness, there's a lot of mental health trauma, addiction disabilities,
and there's real lack in our services in our community
to respond to that. What we've seen over the last
six eight months is services being shut down across the country.
Those early intervention services we really need in our communities
we able to respond to this stuff. They were already
under pressure before the government's decisions, they're under more pressure
(31:49):
now what we've seen in the justice system making it
harder to get benefits, to be able to get sheltered
through emergency accommodation. That increases their environment where people are
more desperate, and we would see these sort of things occur.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Right Aaron, thank you very much for your time this morning.
I really appreciate you coming on the show. That's Aaron Hendry,
a youth development worker seven minutes away from six News
Talk said.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
B News and Views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith. City New
Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. News Talk Zaid b.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Five away from six News Talks, said, b welcome to
you Wednesday morning. Everyone's really into this exploding pages story,
the hez Bulle terrorists in Lebanon. Peter is just throwing
his theories out there. He says, I believe this was
as a result of someone sending a battery overload signal
via the pager network system. Scary, Mike's with us now heym.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Or Israel on one of the one or the other.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Well, Israel might have sent the signal. I think that's
what he's say. Have you used a pager?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Just no, I have not.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I've never used a fax. I've never used a pager. Okay,
and I bought my first mobile phone.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I'm just doing the numbers on how old you might be.
We were having though.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
We were having this discussion the other day with the
boss findily enough, and one of the first things back
in the days when I was an idiot with money,
I bought a Beta video machine. Remember Beta, I won't
even remember. So there was a big thing going on
with Beta versus VHS. So what you have Beta was
a format that was potentially god I cannot believe I'm
explaining the studio so so Beta was a format that
(33:19):
was potentially going to take over VHS. So I go
out and buy the wrong format. Format dies. I've got
a two thousand dollars machine. The other thing I bought
was the very first remember the brick, you know, the
famous brick, the motor roll of YEP. I bought one
of those. And the thing about it was it was
this is nineteen eighty three eighty four, and so it
was two thousand dollars. Work it out, two thousand dollars.
In eighty three eighty.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Four, we had a VHS that had a cord on it,
the remote control. Did you have a cord? My dad
had one of those, And so here's the coin. You
couldn't go too far from the televichiine and you use
it to whip your brothers when they wouldn't change the channel.
What's on the show today, teachers and why no one
wants to be one?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Apart from the part from the money, yeah, the pay
and putting up with the K's exactly three away from
six to mic next.

for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture bands and a play at store. News
dogs'd be.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good morning, six after five? News doorgsai'd be coming up
this morning just before six? Young people and why they
might be caught up in the new gang patch band
at home insulation? How much does it really cost to
stick to the new standards that were introduced last year?
New numbers out on that. We'll get to that shortly. Also,
Vincent mcavinie in the UK new restrictions for teenagers when
(00:38):
using social media. There it's gone six after five the
agenda it is whenesday, the eighteenth of August. Good morning.
Hundreds of HESBELA members have been injured after their pages exploded. Yeah,
pages like we used to use in the nineties. They're
still using them there. Quite important because if your Wi
Fi is down and your phone signals down, pages still
(01:00):
run on radio signal. Lebanon's capital be route is the
center of these. It seems unconfirmed. CCTV video shows an
explosion coming from a man's bag while he's shopping. Wow,
now we go to a new press conference on p
(01:21):
Diddy Sean Diddy Combs is being charged with sex trafficking,
transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
The name and.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Alleges are between at least two thousand and eight and
the present. Coln's abused, threatened and coerce victims to fulfill
his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Auckland's Ojo Pulp Mill will decide at eight o'clock this
morning whether it will go ahead with a proposal to
close down, costing seventy five jobs. The price of energy
was cited as a key reason for the proposal. It
comes two weeks after two hundred and thirty people lost
their jobs with the closure of Windstone Pulp International Central
Northounland Mills. And to the United States, we go so
(02:00):
far from toning down the rhetoric. Hillary Clinton is out
there labeling Trump again as dangerous to both America and
the world.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I believe Donald Trump has just qualified himself over and
over and over again to be a presidential candidate, let
alone a president.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture beds and a playing store,
news talks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It'd be you got to wonder what the pages was
that Israel? You know, did Iran send them some faulty products?
As I mentioned earlier, the more reliable forms of communication.
I thought they had died with the nineties, frankly, but
they are still widely used because they can use radio
signals and when the phone signals down, et cetera. They
(02:50):
can be used for short messages. I don't know what
terrorists with, what messages they would send to each other,
like three two one fire or I don't know, but anyway,
they are using them, and they are harming them. At
the moment. They were a recently received delivery, not sure
where from at this point, but a whole package of
them basically arrived, They put them on, and up to
(03:11):
a thousand of them have now blown up. Wounds included
severed fingers, head injuries, and large gashes to people's torsos.
So not particularly nice though they're not particularly nice people,
are they, So do you feel sorry for them? Probably?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Not.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Nine minutes after five Scotland. We'll get to the global
dairy trade numbers in a second, by the way, but
Scotland is hosting the Games. This is the Commonwealth Games
for twenty twenty six Australia. Did you know how much
the State of Victoria had to pay in or as
compensation for failing to have the games that they said
they would have and then change their mind. Three hundred
(03:47):
and ninety million sorry, three hundred and eighty million dollars
compensation and two hundred million of that is going to Glasgow.
I don't particularly like Glasgow. I've never been there, to
be fair, but I've just listened to a couple podcasts
crime podcasts recently. It sounds like a terrible place one
you can't understand them too, you get stabbed. So don't
go to Glasgow and the sports. By the way, only
(04:11):
ten sports will now take place at this Commonwealth Games,
hundreds fewer athletes, No athletes, village, no opening and closing
ceremonies with much fanfare. It's a very scale back budget version.
It sounds like school sports day. I would rather go
to the Ames Games in total, And to be honest
with you, just gone ten minutes after five, Ryan Bridge.
(04:37):
So the farmers filling up beats off the back of
yesterday we had fed farmers on they've revised up their
dairy payout interest rate. There were a couple of reasons.
Interest rates are coming down, commodity prices going up, and
today's global dairy trade auction results are in up zero
point eight percent overall, which I think it was up
(04:59):
point four percent the last time. There was a big
jump up five point five percent a month ago. So
looking at the numbers, butter up one point seven percent overnight,
chad her up two point nine percent. The big one
for US is milk powders up two point two percent
and whole milk one point five percent. Of course, there
are biggest export commodity worth about fourteen percent of our
(05:22):
export receipts, so those are both up, which is good.
It is eleven minutes half to five. You're on news Talk,
said B. We'll be back in just a second.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
The first word on the News of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture,
Beds and a playing store.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
News Talk SIV fourteen after five News Talks said B.
Stocks are up. In the States, they are picking a
bigger juicier half a percent cut to the interest rates
there the federal reserves first rate cut in four years
is expected tomorrow, so stocks are up picking a half
rather than a quarter of a percent. Overnight, we had
(06:04):
retail sales come in up point one percent. This is
for August monthly figures. The year on year was up
two point one percent, so that is some good news
for the States. Obviously important for US, it's the biggest
economy in the world. There is a time lag for
any cuts to take effect over there because remember most
of their mortgages are on for like thirty years as
opposed to us, which are much shorter periods. Just gone
(06:26):
fourteen after five Bryan Bridge. Remember the insulation debate new
h one insulation standards. The Minister Chris Penk said, well,
he didn't say, but he quoted figures that it could
be around forty to fifty thousand dollars extra to meet
the new standards per house that's been built. He said
that in July, and now we've had some numbers done.
(06:49):
It could cost as little as two thousand, two hundred
dollars to add to a new three bedroom house. That's
according to quantity surveying your QS who put the numbers
together for EBOS and New Zealand Certified Builders and Nick
clements is your QS author, Nick, Thanks for being with
us this morning. Really tell me what is that two
(07:11):
two hundred dollars estimate?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
What is that for?
Speaker 7 (07:15):
So that's the cost impact of meeting the new H
one standard which changed for the twenty twenty three last year?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Is this for the country wide? The average? How big
a home are we talking?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
It was a two bedroom about one hundred and forty
square meter two story, our three bedroom, two story one
hundred and forty square meter home based on their auklaand
regions are sort of the upper half of the North Island, Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And is this if you if you start the work
on the H one from design phase.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
So with H one, there's two ways of complying with
the standard. There's something called schedule method and then the
other option is calculation method. So how I describe it
to people is there's four different levers that a designer
can pull to enable them enable their designed to meet
the standard. And those levers are the insulation and the
(08:11):
thermal performance of the floor, the walls, the windows, or
the ceiling, the roof. And if you do it by
schedule met that it basically pushes all of those leaden
leavers to ten. So it basically ensures that the building
complies by making sure everything is up to a particular standard.
But what the calculation method allows the designer to do
is work out the film performance of that particular building,
(08:35):
so that design that size, floor area area, window area,
and then they can pull each of those levers individually
to meet a design criteria so it meets the performance
required for the standard. And the thing is that each
of those levers has different costs. Each click on that
lever costs a different amount amount of money. And what
(08:55):
we did with the exercise where is basically looked at
each of those levers and looked at what was the
in that case, what was the minimum we could do
to meet the standard, and what was the cost of
each of those ex changes. And so you're able to
it's a bit more refined than what the schedule method is.
The schedual method puts everything basically the most extensive option,
really okay, Whereas that's the calculation method you can refine.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So you haven't obviously done a lot of work on this.
The minister hadn't. He was using numbers that were given
to him by a few random builders. Is there any way,
it could cost forty to fifty thousand dollars for a house,
a three four bedroom house, as he's indicated.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
I don't think so, No, it would it would seem
pretty high.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Is there a difference? Can you are there? Is there
an allowance for a difference per region because it's obviously
warmer up north than it is down south in these standards.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Yeah, in the in the code what they call us
the R rating, which is the indication of the film performance.
And so you've got to meet a different R venue
down south than you do in the North Island, right,
But it wouldn't and it would be more extensive to
meet that higher R venue because you've got to have
a higher performing component to get there. But I didn't
actually do the exercise on the other parts of the country,
(10:05):
but I don't believe it would make that much of
a difference.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
All Right, Thank you very much for your time this morning.
Sounds like the Minister we'll be taking this one on board.
Nick clements with us, the your QS author of the numbers.
They've run the numbers on the new H one instulation
standards and found actually it's a fraction of what we
were led to believe eighteen minutes after five News Talk
ZB Coming up next, we're going to talk about kids
in their resilience. A new report out this morning from
(10:29):
Sir Peter Gluckman's outfit at the University of Auckland interesting.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Get ahead of the headlines, Ryan Bridge new for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand,
Furniture beds and a play at store News Talk ZED.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Be welcome to your Wednesday morning twenty one after five.
Justin Trudeau is in more trouble, more bad news for Trudeau.
Might be time to say goodbye. He's been in office
for nine years now and they've just lost His party
has just lost a very what was a safe seat
in Montreal and can it feels like the end of
his time and power? I think, doesn't it. He's down
(11:06):
in the polls. People are getting sick of him. Nine
years is a long time to be on the world stage.
He's been there for I mean, you think Chi Jingping,
you think Putin, and you think Trudeau. He's stuck around.
He's almost angle and mercle grip on power. He's almost
in that sort of level is echelon, isn't he? Meanwhile,
you look at Australia. You look at the Brits. I
mean they've chewed through them, haven't they like a wood chipper.
(11:27):
So the election over in Canada must be held by
tobat the twenty October twenty twenty five. So he's got
a bit of time up his sleeve. But he'd have
to be pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I
would have thought twenty one after five bred you research
this morning which suggests we need to toughen up our
kids a bit to help address the increase in mental
health issues that they're experiencing. This is a new Auckland
(11:50):
University paper. It says in twenty twenty two and twenty
twenty three, more than one in five of our fifteen
to twenty four year olds experienced high levels of psychological distress,
noting our youth suicide rate is one of the highest
in the developed world. The papers suggesting we focus on
developing skills and young people that provide a foundation for resilience.
Doctor Sung Yung Kim is with US Center for Informed
(12:13):
Futures and author at the University of Auckland. Thank you
for being with us. Good morning, Good morning Ran. So
obviously kids are saying that they're reporting that they're feeling
less well more unwell mentally. What do you think's behind that?
Speaker 8 (12:30):
It seems like there are a lot of things that
are contributing to a young person's mental health and well being,
things such as the socioeconomic status, relationships, things happening at home.
A lot of fact there is coupled with the rapidly
changing digital and social environments.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Do we punish our kids enough? Do we set them
clear enough boundaries and then follow through with consequences. Is
that part of the reason that they feeling lost.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
It's hard to say, and it's uncertain whether it's the punishing,
but research is showing that there is an importance of
having warm, nurturing relationships with young people.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
We arguably have more warm nurturing relationships with young people
now than we've ever had before, and yet their mental
health is worse. So how does that work?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Right?
Speaker 8 (13:26):
So it's important to look at these relationships.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
In a sense of not.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
In a way that allows young people to do things
lit up boundaries or introducing boundaries, but looking at how
these relationships are, how we interact with young people, and
how these interactions addresses their needs.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
All right, Thank you very much for your time this morning.
Dr sim Young Kim, the Center for Informed Futures at
the University of Auckland. It's Peter Gluckman's outfit just gone.
Twenty four minutes after five nine two the number to text.
Would love to hear from you this morning. Ryan Hisbola
thought using pages and avoiding mobile phones would insulate them
from attacks by Israel. Clearly it hasn't. No terrorists should
(14:17):
ever feel safe. Thanks Peter. This is if you're just
joining us up to a thousand he bull of fighters
his BLA terrorists in Lebanon have been hurt or injured
because their pages have exploded simultaneously. Ryan, Trudeau is hated.
Been in power for too long, much like our Jacindra
(14:37):
a Jern says Luke Luk. Yeah, although Justina was only
in power for really five years, five and a bit years,
Trudeau's been there for nine and by the time he
leaves office, if he sticks around to the next election
and gets the boot, that would be almost ten, wouldn't it.
Twenty five after five the early.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Edition Full show podcast on Ironart Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If Thy News talks, Here's why we should care about
what sounds like a bit of an obscure trip from
some US officials to Beijing this week. They are going
to meet to talk to their counterparts about a wave
of Chinese goods flooding world markets. So output. China obviously
has enormous manufacturing capacity, an enormous machine behind it, and
(15:24):
the output has gotten too large for the world to absorb.
The strategy by China they reckon, and this is why
the US officials are going there. The strategy is demand
at home is a bit weaker for them, so they
pump up production and they ship the excess offshore. The
idea is they would build more resilient supply chains throughout
(15:45):
the world. They'll get us hooked on cheap goods. I mean,
think we're like crack addicts at a dollar store, aren't
we Think about EV's the huge subsidies.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
That go on there.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You know, your temuchine, those types of websites, and they
are squeeze in the process, squeezing other manufacturers around the world,
including the United States, which is why the United States
is setting a delegation to go and say stop that please.
It's also why you're seeing a response, a tariff response
from Europe from the US. Even some friendly Asian states,
(16:16):
even places like Indonesia are starting to put tariffs on China.
The goal seems to be from them, subsidize these manufacturers,
flood the market around the world, build supply lines, resilient
supply lines, hook us in on these cheap goods, and
(16:36):
in the process destroy the competition. Ryan Bridge in the
eight minutes half to five. So anyway, that US delegation
is going to go and I mean, what do you do? Hey,
stop doing that. Okay, that's it going to change anything. Now,
we have a customer advice notice that has gone out
this morning from the system operator to our electricity companies
(16:59):
and they are asking for this is between the hours
of seven and eight thirty am If I got that right, Leo.
They are asking for a reduction in the energy use.
Basically because it's cold, people are going to put the
heat pumps on, et cetera. As you're waking up this morning.
So we'll tell you more about that as we learn it.
There was one issued last night and another that has
(17:19):
been issued from seven to eight thirty this morning. Look,
if you cold, put heat pump on. Honestly, we are
you going to sit there and freeze. Just gone twenty
nine minutes after five. Welcome to your Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and
a plying store.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
News Talk said B. Good morning, it is twenty four
minutes away from six. You're on news Talk, said B.
I'm Ryan Bridge. It is Wednesday, the eighteenth of September.
Great to have your company. Some good advice from one
of our listeners here as there's a power crunch this morning.
(18:08):
Everyone's turning the heat pumps on because it's cold. If
you're cold, put on some more warm clothes, a hatch,
some gloves, some socks, a scarf, woolen clothes, hot water
bottles are great. Who needs alchricity? Honestly, thank you and
I don't know who you are, but you just immediately
sound like my mother. Put a jersey on if you're hungry,
(18:31):
have a glass of water. Twenty three minutes away from
six News Talks, there'd be Tory Farno is living in
an apartment in the city in Wellington. She's just purchased one.
This is part of the revelations from Nick Mills interview
with Tory Farno yesterday, in which she announced to the
world that she had sold her car to try and
(18:52):
help with paying the bills. Not sure what kind of
Carritter is. She won't say, you won't say how much
it costs, how much you got for it, whatever. But
interestingly she was asked about the half a million dollar
bike rack that Wellington City Council has paid for, and
Nick did a great job of saying, how on earth
can you justify this? This is her response, So when
you think about.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Our multi billion dollar budget, this is like a small
mistake in the widest scheme of things, and I admit that.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Tell you what else was a small mistake was buying
an apartment in central Wellington. At the moment yesterday trade
me numbers came out, So if you own an apartment
in central Wellington, sorry, but your value has gone down
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars since April, so just
in the last couple of months. It is bad buying. Obviously,
there's some earthquake issues. There's car park issues because where
(19:42):
do you park your car, although Toy doesn't have one
bit of a bad of investments. So the average apartment
lost one hundred and fifty k off their value since
April one to two, Betties down nine point seven percent
to six hundred and fifty one thousand dollars. A spot
of bother. I would have thought as well, if you
your job in the public service, you've just bought this house,
(20:02):
the values dropping, your mortgage rates are high, you could
be in a bit of a tight spot. Twenty two
to six, Ryan Bridge. It's got to our reporters around
the country Culum is in needing with us this morning column.
The government being urged to keep its promise on the
new hospital. There yr morning Ryan.
Speaker 11 (20:19):
The dined And City Council and the New Zealand Nurses
Organization reactivating their campaign in opposition to any clinical cuts
to this one point five billion dollar project. There have
been recent reports of cuts being considered for the new
inpatient building and so ourmyr Juels Radick and n ZnO
delegate Linda Smiley met Health Minister Doctor Shane Retti and
Wellington yesterday and they presented him with an earlier petition
(20:43):
which had twenty three thousand signatures against previously proposed cuts
to the new hospital. Radicks come away saying the Minister's
told him there will be no cuts to this project
and this campaign puts them on notice that they expect
nothing less. All right, how's your weather today? Culum morning
frost's but partly cloud a few showers later this afternoon
northwesters and fifteen today.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Thank you. Claire is in christ Church with us this morning. Claire,
good morning. Do you not pay for parking at the
at Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens right now?
Speaker 10 (21:13):
It's so very christ Church of us, isn't it. We
do not pay at the moment, but we soon will
be and people are not happy about it. Christ Church
City Councilors will today formalize these plans Ryan, which is
to introduce paid parking to a couple of key areas.
It will mean at costs to park at areas within
Hagley Park, so that includes for those who know by
the Horticultural Center and the Cricket Oval, as well as
(21:36):
the Botanic Gardens, parking areas off Ricketon Ab and also
RMR Street. This decision confirms some new rules which were
put through with the long term plan, but it means
that council can basically enforce them. The car parks will
keep a current one hundred and eighty minute limit, but
there'll be seven days a week from eight till five.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right, Claire. How's your weather today?
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Frosty and cold to start as well, A few showers
expected today, high cloud this afternoon, these turning westerly and
a high of fifteen.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Thank you. We're just getting more information about this squeeze
on electricity this morning. Apparently there's a fault at a
gas field in the North Island which has led to
the low generation, which has led to the warnings by
Transpower saying just and this is by the way, warnings
to the electricity companies rather than from trans rather than
to customers directly saying just tie hoe on heat pumps
(22:25):
and things like that, or you know, doing your laundry.
I guess between the hours of seven and eight thirty
am this morning, Max toll is in Wellington, heymax, Good morning.
This Kitty Allen debarcle with the redacted report. What's going on?
Speaker 12 (22:41):
Yeah, so we learn more about the former Justice minister's
downfall on Sunday in the Herald. New information from the
police file released relating to the car crash in Wellington
last July that she initially blew over the criminal level,
which is four hundred. But when she gave her evidential
test three hours later, hour and a half after arriving
at the police station, that had fallen to three three five,
(23:05):
that she was found walking away from the scene that
she initially told officers the only time she was driving
was she was trying to move her car off the road.
Wouldn't say who the driver was. But what we mainly
got in the police file was a lot of black ink,
very very much redacted and a lot hidden from the public.
Police have told as privacy was the main reason for that,
balancing it with public interest, but also that the views
(23:27):
of the individual were taken into account, that she was
consulted and so it's been sent to the Ombudsman. Story
by Melissa Nightingale on The Herald's site this morning.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That does seem odd that you'd ask her for her
opinion on what they should redect.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Weather today Max mainly fine thirteen the high Central.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right, let's go to Neva in Auckland. Never good morning,
Good morning. The workers, seventy five of them at this
Auckland recycling mill. We're only a couple of hours away
from a decision on.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I know, look, this is the OG pulp mill in Penrose.
Now it's going to decide at eight am whether it's
going to go ahead with the proposal to close down.
And this is citing the price of energy is a
key reason which has hit quite a few of the
mills in the country. First Union says, look, this is
an integral part of our recycling system and if it closes,
(24:15):
what this means that paper and card recycling will instead
be sent off shorter Malaysia for processing. So the unions
come into it. Organizer Justin Wallace says, you know they're
calling on OG to reverse its proposal take up some
of the union generator proposals. But we'll know more at
eight am.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
All right, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Neva.
Speaker 2 (24:33):

Speaker 6 (24:39):
I was still sitting here patiently. And did you get
caught in the storm yesterday?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well I didn't get caught, but it was more stormy
than the day before, wasn't it.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah, it was, wasn't it. Well today we're going to
have fine spells. We're going to see a bit of
the sun. There will be a few showers, but fifteen's
are high here in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (24:56):

INZID International correspondence with insidn Eye Insurance Peace of Mind
for New Zealand business up.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
To a thousand. His Bulle terrorists pages have been blowing
up in Libanon. Vincent mcavinie is our UK and Europe correspondent.
He's with us on this this morning. Vincent, what's going
on here?
Speaker 13 (26:20):
Well, it's an extraordinary story. It's something out of a
spy movie or something like Slow Horses the TV show.
Because this is unprecedented, it seems that and we believe
it was Israel because they haven't denied it, but they
haven't said anything else otherwise. They've managed to penetrate into
the production line of these pages. It's believed insert some
kind of small explosive and they've managed to detonate them
(26:44):
simultaneous to today across Lebanon and the group Hendler uses
pages instead of mobile phones because they've had experience in
the past with them being blown up, being tampered with
by Israel, and so they thought pages were safe, but
it seems that isn't the case. Extraordinary footage is coming
out of these pages, detonating across the country, severely im
(27:05):
injuring people in this network and even killing some of
them as well.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
In no word as you say it from Israel. Let's
talk about the UK teenagers being hit with some new
Instagram restrictions.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 13 (27:20):
Instagram has been coming under increasing press pressure here in
the UK when it comes to young people. There has
been incidences where people, very young people have been sort
of fed through the algorithm self harm and even pro
suicide material and there have been some tragic events in
relation to that. And Instagram has been trying to combat this,
(27:40):
and now they're rolling out special accounts from thirteen to
fifteen year olds. You can't be on it younger than thirteen.
This will give sort of everything will be immediately locked away.
It'll be the parents only who can control the settings
on this And it's a way that the NSPCC, which
is our child Protection area agency here, says that Instagram
(28:01):
is going in the right direction, but it's still not
doing enough. It's still not properly verifying people's ages, and
the emphasis is on the parents and the children, not
Instagram itself, to make sure that it is a safe
environment for people to be on.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Insane, isn't it. Thank you very much for that. Vincent Macaviny,
a UK and europe correspondent, just gone eleven minutes away
from six Imagine that you can have a product, and
you are legally able to sell a product and to
promote a product that is giving some young people thoughts
and ideas about how to end their own lives. It
just blows the mind, doesn't it. Eleven to six Bridge.
(28:37):
Speaking of young people, the number of criminal charges against
children and teenagers has spiked in the last year, theft, robbery,
burglary all seeing the biggest increases. According to data from
the Ministry of Justice, there were more than five thousand
theft charges against those aged ten to seventeen, which is
a forty one percent increase compared to the previous year. However,
(28:57):
the number of young people charged hasn't gone up nearly
as steeply, meaning that young offenders are on average committing
more crimes per person. Aaron Hendry is a youth development worker.
Is with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Hey Erin, Hey good mate.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Good thank you, thanks for being with me this morning.
Does this mean that we've got more hardcore young criminals,
young offenders.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I think what's really important to look at there is
one of those increase in the data is theft.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
One of the key drivers of youth crime is poverty
and inequality. A lot of the policies that we've seen
go out just recently accreating that environment where these sort
of crimes would increase. You know, we're seeing more young
people pushed in the hardshat, pushed into poverty, pushed into homelessness,
and so it's not really surprising to see this data.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Are they stealing bread or are they stealing jewelry, vakes
and booze.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It's often a matter of survival, right, So the product
isn't necessarily what we focus on. It's actually the reason
why they're doing it, right, So that theft is often
very much connected to needing to get by, about being
pushed into environments where they're desperate and they see this
is the only way out.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But if you're stealing vapes, I mean, you don't need
that for survival do you.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah. Look, I mean in terms of vapes specific products.
You know, at times it sound selling, it's times it's
because you're working. You know, For every gang or a community,
the bigger issue is the reason why those young people
and those children are in the environment in the first place.
And what we know is the context for a lot
of these young people is they're coming from homes where
(30:35):
there's a lot of poverty, where there's housing and security.
Some of these young people are experiencing homelessness, and that
is the key driving factor is why they're involved in
this behavior in the first place.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
The cops did a big common Chero's announcement yesterday that
going after that gang that we've somewhat imported from Australia.
Do you think that that will solve our problems? You know,
because obviously there's young people out there who are at
a loose end. We don't want them joining gangs. Do
you think this is going to make a difference.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I think if we are really serious about seeing some
change in this area, then we need to really aggress
with what the evidence is right and what we know
about how we reduce youth crime. Is we focus very
much on what is going on in the environment of
those young people. And so a lot of the young
people that we know that are coming through the justice system,
they're coming from homes where there's extreme poverty, there's inequality,
(31:25):
there's homelessness, there's a lot of mental health trauma, addiction disabilities,
and there's real lack in our services in our community
to respond to that. What we've seen over the last
six eight months is services being shut down across the country.
Those early intervention services we really need in our communities
we able to respond to this stuff. They were already
under pressure before the government's decisions, they're under more pressure
(31:49):
now what we've seen in the justice system making it
harder to get benefits, to be able to get sheltered
through emergency accommodation. That increases their environment where people are
more desperate, and we would see these sort of things occur.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Right Aaron, thank you very much for your time this morning.
I really appreciate you coming on the show. That's Aaron Hendry,
a youth development worker seven minutes away from six News
Talk said.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
B News and Views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith. City New
Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. News Talk Zaid b.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Five away from six News Talks, said, b welcome to
you Wednesday morning. Everyone's really into this exploding pages story,
the hez Bulle terrorists in Lebanon. Peter is just throwing
his theories out there. He says, I believe this was
as a result of someone sending a battery overload signal
via the pager network system. Scary, Mike's with us now heym.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Or Israel on one of the one or the other.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Well, Israel might have sent the signal. I think that's
what he's say. Have you used a pager?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Just no, I have not.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I've never used a fax. I've never used a pager. Okay,
and I bought my first mobile phone.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I'm just doing the numbers on how old you might be.
We were having though.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
We were having this discussion the other day with the
boss findily enough, and one of the first things back
in the days when I was an idiot with money,
I bought a Beta video machine. Remember Beta, I won't
even remember. So there was a big thing going on
with Beta versus VHS. So what you have Beta was
a format that was potentially god I cannot believe I'm
explaining the studio so so Beta was a format that
(33:19):
was potentially going to take over VHS. So I go
out and buy the wrong format. Format dies. I've got
a two thousand dollars machine. The other thing I bought
was the very first remember the brick, you know, the
famous brick, the motor roll of YEP. I bought one
of those. And the thing about it was it was
this is nineteen eighty three eighty four, and so it
was two thousand dollars. Work it out, two thousand dollars.
In eighty three eighty.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Four, we had a VHS that had a cord on it,
the remote control. Did you have a cord? My dad
had one of those, And so here's the coin. You
couldn't go too far from the televichiine and you use
it to whip your brothers when they wouldn't change the channel.
What's on the show today, teachers and why no one
wants to be one?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Apart from the part from the money, yeah, the pay

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.
