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 beds and a play at store News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
They'd be good morning at a six after five, Welcome
to news Talks. They'd be starting off your week in
the right way. Peter Montgomery is with us just before six.
Will Auckland host the next America's Cup? Have to have
this debate anyway, we will have it. Peter Montgomery with
us before six. Gavin Gray out of the UK, ias
planning an attack in Berlin. King Charles last ten minutes
(00:36):
at lunch in Sydney and the meatworks seem to be
closing down left, right and center. Who's going to process
all our beef and lamb? That's coming up in the
next ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
The agenda by.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now it is Monday, the twenty first of October. Hamas
officials say at least eighty seven people have been killed
in a strike in northern Gaza overnight.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
This is an ongoing military offensive Bazrael. Now that's been
focused on Northern Gaza for well over a week, and
the latest incident was an Israeli a strike against what
is reported to be a residential tower block in Beitler.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Here, Israel says people were warned before they fired new
rockets and the death toll is being exaggerated by Hamas.
The United States is investigating after top secret US documents
assessing Israel's plan to attack Iran were posted on social
media platform Telegram. A US official told the Associated Press
the documents quote appear to be legitimate. Moscow is accusing
(01:31):
the UK of killing Russian civilians and what it calls
a proxy war. Moscow's ambassador to London did an interview
with the BBC hes Andre Kieln.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
The UK government. He is alleging aggressive war against Russia
by the hens of the Ukrainians. This is a proxy
war led by the United Kingdom's government by providing little weapon.
Is which UK government is killing Russian soldiers and civilians.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
You think that we're at war.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
With your country, I think that you are aggressive or
your wagon proxy war against the Rosciat.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The guy who wrote this song and many other hits
has a message for the music industry after the death
of Liam Payne to it what I can.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Should be a better man.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Guy Chambers is a British songwriter friend of Robbie Williams.
He says under eighteen year olds should not be allowed
to join pop bands, which is an perhaps understandable reaction
to the death of somebody so young. But it's completely impractical,
isn't it. And by the way, music probably as a vehicle,
has saved far more lives than it has taken. You
(02:41):
would have to argue it is eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds at a playing
store News Talk Siddy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, get a good morning. Great to have you here
on a Monday. Andrew Bailey bit weird little bit, the
whole loser thing. And remember you were at high school
and you would do well. Maybe you didn't, but we
used to do loser, loner, something more wrong and you
do this thing with your fingers. Anyway, it sounds like
that that's what Andrew Bailey was doing to a person
(03:14):
he didn't know. This is a cabinet minister. I actually
bumped into Andrew Bailey. I did an event in Wellington
last week and he was there and I've never met
the guy before and he came bounding over like an
excited puppy to say that. I was gush, you're looking smart,
don't you dress so well? But I think he's I
got the sense he's just one of those banter guys,
(03:37):
you know, and that you can take that one or
two ways. Some people take that well, some people think
that was offensive. The man's a creep or a freak
or whatever. I took it obviously. The former the complainant,
who it turns out now actually wrote to the opposition
party leaders as well about Andrew Bailey, not just to
(03:57):
the Prime Minister, has taken it. The latter anyway, what
do we think of Andrew Bailey? But we'd move on. Also,
this morning we're talking about the America's Cup, not that
I really want to be talking about the America's Cup,
because we do this all the time. We win the
thing and then do we host it. So last time
the viewer numbers were nine hundred and forty million. Viewers
(04:19):
around the world had eyes on the America's Cup here
in New Zealand, which is not a bad thing. The
taxpayers stumped up about one hundred and thirty million dollars.
The rate payers one hundred and thirteen million dollars, though
most of that was on infrastructure that you can barely
open the walking bridge down at Auckland's Via Act at
the moment. So I don't know what do we think?
(04:41):
Do you care? Do you want the America's Cup back here?
Would you want our money invested in bringing it back here?
Nine ninety two is the number of text I do
not care, frankly either way. It is eleven minutes after five.
Y're on News Talk CB Bryan Bridge, Hey, look at you, Queenstown.
(05:06):
Queenstown is about to become a city if it wants
to be. It doesn't have to become a city, but
if it wants to become a city, it can. There's
a new data out showing they are edging closer to
the magic thirty thousand number, which means they can have
themselves declared a city as opposed to just just a district.
I'll tell you more about that in the second Monday
(05:27):
Morning News Talks. Eleven after five.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Care Jean Jen and the Sun.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Bryan Bridge, new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
News Talks.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It'd be fourteen after five News Talks there'd be lots
of texts coming in already on the America's Cup and
where that we should host it here in New Zealand
next time round. We'll get to those in a second.
New Zealand has ranked last for infrastructure delivery. This is
a global survey out today. Seventeen percent of kiwis said
they believe that we have a good record of delivering
national infrastructure projects. You can't argue with that, can you.
(06:08):
We are tied last with Hungary according to the IPSOS
twenty twenty four Global Infrastructure Index. Over two thirds of
US believe the country is not doing enough to meet
its infrastructure needs. That figure has been steadily increasing from
fifty five percent in twenty nineteen. So tell us something
we don't know. But there you have it, the cold
(06:30):
hard truth. We're not very good at infrastructure. It is
fourteen after five Ray and Bridge Alliance Meatworks are set
to close its Smithfield plant and Timadou by the end
of the year, resulting in the loss of about six
hundred jobs. It's a huge loss for the sector and
we need plants like it to process our meat. Dan
Bolton is the Silver Fir and Farms Chief executive he's
(06:52):
with me this morning. Dan, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Can you hear me right there?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Yes, Oh, there we.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Go, Dan, Welcome to the show. Good to have you on.
Is this a worry when we hear about these closures?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Clearly a worry when there's many job losses there and
devastating for the people of the Timory community. You know, Ryan,
that's extually my hometown and silf and farms. We have
our own workforce and Timory, so I know how much
the locals are hurting after this announcement right now.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Is this because our stock is reducing in the you know,
we don't need the capacity at these meatworks anymore, or
what's going on here?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Yeah, that's exactly right. So sheep numbers have been declining,
and you know, our farmers, particularly sheep farmers, have had
some better land news options in front of them. As
you know. That's predominantly been linked to the settings that
have allowed pine trees to be planted on productive sheep
country in you couple that with probably eighteen months of
relatively depressed land export returns and that's just accelerated that change.
(07:56):
So land news change is a big part of it,
you know, Civil food and farms we don't accept that
trend will continue. We feel there's an excellent future demand
for New Zealand produced, particularly sustainable produce protein, and that
includes our land. But as an industry, you know, we're
going to have to evolve and be innovative to ensure
we can capture that. And you know in our sheet
(08:18):
beef and venison farmers deserve to thrive. But to do that,
they're going to need a really strong and efficient and
viable processing sector and that's going to require investment, and
then it requires investment in our processing facilities. But I
think what we're seeing at the moment is just a
realignment of processing capacity versus the available available land numbers.
(08:39):
And I guess when you've got too much capacity, there
needs to be an adjustment because a large, expensive infrastructure
to run. In history shows that industries had to adapt
over time to make sure we have an efficient network.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Plus a big labor Because I say so, it would
Silver Firm's Silverffirm potentially look at investing in somewhere like
well More in some way like tim to try and
create more capacity there.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Yeah, well, or we already have a large process and capacity.
But I think you know, is there you know, I
think the question you're asking is is there a challenge
there for farmers in that region. I think they're still
sufficient capacity across that wider South canabary Otago Canterbury region,
so I don't think there's going to be a challenge
there for farmers to get the animals processed in that
particular area for the season ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
How's the outlook looking. We're expecting farm gate prices from
processes and exporters soon. How are things tracking?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Yeah, Actually, beef's looking really good, you know, particularly off
the demand and the supply shortage up into the USA,
but also other key markets are performing well Japan and Korea,
Europe and even China on chill beef items is looking
really positive. And I think you know, today all beef
farm gate pricings that record high, so not a lot
to complain about there, and even prime beef is looking
(09:56):
pretty good. So now we see beef pricing remain firm
as we move into twenty twenty five and probably sitting
about seventy cents to a dollar above the five year average,
and I think farmers will be pretty happy with that outcome.
For lamb farmers, you know, and that's clearly pricing hasn't
been where it's needed to be and still sitting below
the five year average, but you know that's been driven
(10:18):
by an oversupply out of Australia with them a record
production level. So but that said, we're seeing that for
that supply position for casts even we're actually seeing some
shortages now on lamb up in the UK and EU
market said some pretty favorable price signals as we head
into twenty twenty five, so we're seeing lamp pricing lifts
back to more sustainable levels for our farmers, which is
(10:39):
exactly the news after and believe it or not, we're
actually getting some outstanding pricing on certain items such as
lamb racks and lamb looyins that we all love, but
unfortunately there's the whole, the whole animal we need to sell.
We've sort of going to get the rest of the
carcass pricing back up to where it needs to be
and China's going to play an important part of that.
And we're getting some green shoots out of China as well.
(11:01):
So it's on heading in the right direction, but still
a little bit good to go for our land farmer's good.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Nice to finish on some positive News Dan, thank you
very much for your time this morning. That's Dan Bolton's
silverfer and Farm's chief executive. Nineteen after five on News
Talk said, be your texts on the America's Cup coming
in thick and fast. We'll get to the next the.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
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 (11:27):
News Talk said be. Twenty one after five, News Talks
said be Ryan, Yes, bring the cut back to Auckland
and compete here. Ryan, certainly, I think the money would
be well invested. Team New Zealand come up with a
winning plan and be successful and using that money here.
No to the America's Cup returning here, money would be
better spent and our health system says lou it Is.
Twenty two minutes after five on news Talk said, b
(11:50):
Ryan Bridge Andrew Orison's here with sport.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Good morning Greeting's Ryan got a view on that. I'd
be surprised if it comes back here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Why because of the cost and because of the viewers.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
And I think they've they seem pretty settled in being
able to have it in Barcelona, or maybe it goes
through the field to I know Saudi Arabia or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, right, so that's where the real money.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Is, some serious money there.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We're going to talk gold, black gold. We're gonna talk
to Peter Montgomery about that just before Sex right now.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Very good, great to hear from PJ.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The White Fans are facing South Africa in the two
twenty World Cup final right now.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They are the last report. They just got the key
wickets in New Zealand of Laura Wolvart, who is the
pro Teers skipper, and they were fifty nine for two
South Africa in the tenth over, so they're chasing one
hundred and sixty to win. He's put some breaks on
the South Africans and I think they're looking pretty promising.
To be honest, I think that New Zealand, when neither
(12:48):
of these teams have won a World coming in, Australia
have always dominated. But this is an outstanding display from
New Zealand, particularly coming into the tournament having lost ten
in a row, ten in a row, yeap, so they've
turned it around. I mean, all bit tough opposition Australia
in England, but to some of the younger players coming
through and immediate cur today showing her experience forty three
(13:10):
or thirty eight key partnership with fifty seven for the
fourth wicket with Brook calidate.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Stupid question. So this is the Teacher World Cup Final?
It is? So we've lost the last ten games.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
How did we get to know into the final leading
into the tournament?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So no, just to clarify.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Lost ten and made the final.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Bar is low here. Hey, Liam Lawson racing in Formula
one this morning?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yes, indeed, so that's something we've all been looking forward
to for a while for the Racing Bulls team.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Frothing at he's got the.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Accelerator down, has he reaving? So yeah, that's going to
be exciting in the in the US. So we wait
and see as how. I think he's been back back
to about twenty on the grid though, due to a
penalty or something of that nature. So we'll have to
see how how he can fear and is weaving his
way through the field. But exciting none the less. He's
(14:05):
got these what six Grand Prix and also a couple
more sprint races. I think finished sixteenth, wasn't in the
first sprint anyway yesterday and now we'll get to see
the main event.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Very good. We might skip the what happened with the
black Caps beating India.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yeah, that's a monumental feat that one. I mean, third
time in thirty seven attempts away against India and just
hearing through two that South Africa was lost a third
wicket well as well in the finals. So yeah, dramatic
scenes and Dubai at the moment. But yeah, over in Bengalaru,
New Zealand winning with yeah, I think just a tremendous showing.
(14:41):
Really eight wicket victory dominated India and that opening test.
Still the Holy Grail never won a series in India.
Two tests to come, we'll see how the unfinda cup.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Full night, I went to the AUCKLANDFC game. It was
fun ninety minutes as a long time, isn't that. It's
good here's where you're coming from.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, and good to get a win
on the board for them in their opening opening fixture.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, totally about it, Andrew, thank you very much for that.
Andrew Ortison was sport twenty five minutes after five. When
we come back, I'm going to tell you there's a
couple of stories out about beneficiaries this morning, and neither
of them makes sense.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Talks A twenty seven after five. Coming up to the
news here on news Talks, there be a couple of
stories in their news today which you will you will
notice one of them, and I'll just read you the
first line from this story. Ministry of Social Development officials
warned their minister that using payment cards as a sanction
for beneficiaries can be stigmatizing and open to exploitation. What so,
(15:47):
either the poor things will stigmatize them, will tarnish their
good reputations, or those bludges that will just exploit the
hell out of the cards. You know, which is it?
Are they bad? Are they good? It just seems confused
piece of advice from the Ministry for Social Development in
my eyes. At least you know they're going to flog
them off these cards on Facebook, sell them or are
(16:10):
we tarnishing their good reputations by giving them to them
in the first place. When you design a system, a
safety net like this, it should be done for the
dignity and the simplicity of those who desperately need it.
I think we can all agree with that, however, you
need to have enough hoops and barriers and checks and
balances for those who would exploit the system. We're good people,
(16:33):
we're fair minded people, ask Kiwis. But there are dicks
among us who rip systems off, who don't look after
their kids, who don't use the money for the purpose
of feeding their families, etc. Those people do exist, and
treating them with free cash and no consequences is not
going to change that situation, surely not. Why would you
(16:57):
change when everything is just handed to you on a
silver platter, whether that's cash or whether it's a card.
You're not going to solve that problem. So you have
to It is a balancing act, but you have to
design a system that is there for people who need it,
but also can't be exploited by those who would seek
to do so. Twenty nine minutes after five News Talk,
(17:18):
Ryan Bridge News is coming up next. We will look
at Queenstown and whether it will become a city anytime soon.
We've got data from the census, the census that has
been weirdly drip fed, isn't it. It's like one day
it's like, well there's three lesbians living in Timaru. You
know the next day it's like we've got a health
(17:39):
crisis and christ Church anyway, Queen on.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Smith's City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
plying store. News Talk said, be.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Good morning New Zealand. It is twenty four minutes away
from six. Welcome to your Monday, and congratulations to our
boys for winning the America's Cup again, third time in
a row. First time that's happened. Apparently we're going to
talk to Peter Montgomery about whether we should host it
here next time round. That's just coming up just before six.
Gavin Gray out of the UK. The Islamic State terror
(18:22):
group is back with a vengeance planning plotting in Berlin.
This time it was a Libyan national who has been
suspected of carrying out an attack. We'll have more information
on that shortly. I just feel like with the America's
Cup thing, they I don't think even Team New Zealand
wants to be here. This is just my reading of it.
(18:45):
You know, you can't make as much money here. It
feels a little bit like we're holding them back. Oh,
you have to haste it here you don't have to
and you'll probably make more money and have more fun
and have more people coming to see you if you
do it elsewhere. It's like when you you know, when
if you get someone to come to stay in Auckland, right,
and it's between your house and a friend's house, so
(19:06):
you can stay with them where you can stay with us,
and you know your house is small, you'd be living
on top of each other. It's crammed, it's not as nice.
They want to go stay at the nice house. Let
them go and stay at the nice house. Let them
go and make the money. They need to keep their
sport alive, because the goodness Sax, that's the most important
thing after all, isn't it. Twenty two away from sex
(19:27):
and bread Breach. We're going to our reporters around the country.
Cullen Proctor is in Dunedin for us this morning, Culum,
good to have you on the show. Tell me what's
going on with Queenstown and potentially Queenstown becoming a city.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Yeah, well that could happens as soon as this week.
Estimate's a due outloader this week, expecting to show that
Queenstown's population has exceeded thirty thousand people, so that would
see Queenstown joining the list of large urban areas commonly
known as cities. The district council already has the fifty
thousand wider district population needed to apply to become a
(20:05):
city council. But all that needs to be done now
is for the Local Government Commission to be satisfied on
a couple of details before Queenstown can get formal.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
City council status.
Speaker 9 (20:15):
That decision would then be referred to Local Government Minister
Simeon Brown.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Ah, So it's the thirty thousand thing is actually a
bit of a misnomer. It's the fifty thousand for the
district that you need to to get the city status.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
That's the magic number. Hark, there's no doubt that Queenstown's
at that point. Well, it's the fastest growing area in
New Zealand, so I mean, one day it will be
the second largest city in the South Island. It's just
a matter of time. But we'll find out if it's
officially a city maybe later this week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
How's the weather in Needing today?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Occasional rain seventeen today.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Brilliant, Thank you. Let's go to Claishev. What has in
christ Church this morning. Clear, Good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What's happening in your neck of the woods.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Well, we have the murder trial for the man accused
of killing christ Church real estate agent Feyboo beginning today.
You may remember the forty four year old, a real
estate agent, went missing. She was missing for more than
a year after failing to pick up her nine year
old daughter from after schoolcare. We knew for a long
time she had been last seen working at a home
in Hornby. Her body was then discovered in a shallow
(21:18):
grave in a farm at green Park, which is southwest
of christ Church in July. Just been now ting. Jun
Chao has been charged with her murder. The trial is
expected to begin today and we'll take up to six weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All right, how's the weather clear?
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Cloudy to start the week.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Easterly is developing this afternoon and a high of twenty
two brilliant.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Thank you. Just a quick update on the cricket apparently
we've had two wickets South Africa now at seventy seven
for five. It has just gone twenty away from six.
On news talks, he'b and we're going to Max in Wellington. Max,
good morning, good morning. What's happening?
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Oh gosh, just when you thought it couldn't get any
worse around Thorndon Key in a few days, the very
well used intersection connecting TENA Cordy Row, Thornton Key and
Hut Road is going to be closed for up to
six months to install some traffic lights. Parents, teacher, students
at several nearby schools use it, most notably Queen Margaret College,
which is just up the hill. Six months and the
(22:14):
school was only told at the end of last week
and these works start this week.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
The principal is appalled.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
It's going to be incredibly disruptive, particularly around exams. Traffic
diverted to Hobson Streets. That's going to create an almighty
chaos along the bollard infected Thornton Key as well. Councilor
Nicolay Young calls it a fiasco. And just to be clear,
this whole seventy plus million dollar Thornton Key project was
commissioned and devised pre Tory Faro's meryalty. But I expect
(22:42):
she'll again bear the brunt of it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I think she might mix. How's the weather today.
Speaker 12 (22:46):
She'll be fine. Northerly seventeenth Central.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Brilliant. Thank you nave us An Aukland. This morning. A
good morning.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
It's a Monday feel, isn't it?
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Just what's feeling so Monday about today?
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Funny things? Hittening, I'm laughing away giggling here.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, we'll have an update on the on.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
The Yeah, hey, where's your TV thinging the remote?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Well, want to be pass it to you? All right?
I do like to have the international wires on just
in case something blows up, because you can't put the
audio up, can you no? Because this is a radio studio,
it would be very distracting for our listeners would anyway.
Artificial intelligence is helping our hospital.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
That's right now AI. Now it could be used to
predict emergency department demand. This is weeks in advance, as
we probably would have guessed.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
So.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Auckland University researchers have tested the latest machine learning modes
and the models similar to chet GPT. This is the
crunch hospital data and perk out just the useful trems
and the authors have found two models in particular performing
well in predicting future admissions and obviously that could take
some pressure off hospital planners. So the finding show AI
(23:56):
could potentially inform hospital management and guide healthcare interventions. So
let's see how this go through. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
It is pretty cool. If they can do that accurately,
then that's a good thing. How's the weather today?
Speaker 11 (24:07):
Fine weather today? Apart from morning cloudy periods? Nineteen is
the high quite warm?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Though very warm? Indeed? Gavin Gray out of the UK
next and Peter Montgomery on the America's Cup Is it
coming home? Because I know you just can't get enough
of me, I want to tell you about an exciting
new project that has been launched. I'm hosting a weekly
podcast series called Bridge Talks Business with Milford. Each episode,
I'll be getting to get together with a member of
Milford's team of leading analysts, fund managers, and financial experts
(24:35):
for a look at the week's biggest business stories. It's
a time of financial turbulence with the global economy and transition.
Inflation looks to be declining in many countries, but volatility remains.
So why is it happening, what can be done about it?
And where are things heading. We'll look at the data,
will work out what we can learn from market history,
and ask the hard questions. This will be your go
(24:55):

economy both here and over. Join me for Bridge Talks

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Business fourteen away from six News Talk zib the Islamic
state Tira group was allegedly planning an attack on the
Israeli embassy in Berlin. Gavin Gray's our UK europe correspondent
givin what are we learning about?
Speaker 7 (25:30):
This only just coming in quite sketchy, But the police
and other security forces have detained the man in the
town of Burnham, and that's just outside the German capital.
They also then sent in an elite armed police unit
storming the suspect's apartment, and that's being reported that the
government there is pretty confident that it has thwarted a
(25:53):
possible terror attack. The suspect is said to be a
Libyan national officials are only identifying him as Omar. A
is entitled to anonymity during this stage of the investigation,
but they're saying he intended to carry out a high
profile attack with firearms on the Israeli embassy in Berlin
(26:13):
and had exchanged information with a member of Islamic State
in a messenger chat, so obviously deeply worrying. Another man
who was at the home on that apartment that was
searched was considered a witness and not a suspect. The
Israeli ambassador there has thanked the German security thoughces for
their insuring of the security of the embassy.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Meanwhile, the Italian government they have got this five year deal.
They want to send migrants who've been riscued at sea
to camps in Albania, etc. They've been dealt a bit
of a blow.
Speaker 14 (26:43):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Yeah, they have indeed, so Italy obviously part of the EU,
Albania outside of the EU, and earlier this week, in
a deal that was effectively heralded by some in the
EU as the way forward, they sent sixteen people to
process center in Albania that immediately became twelve because health
screenings assessed that two were children and two were vulnerable.
(27:06):
They were sent back to Italy and a court in
Italy ruled that it wasn't possible to return the remaining
twelve to their countries of origin because they weren't safe countries.
So they have now been returned to Italy as well.
This has cost well in excess a one point four
billion New Zealand dollars so far best plan. Many in
(27:27):
Europe thought this was the way forward. They were looking
at doing something similar that This ruling clearly shows that
there are problems with that. The government in Italy is saying.
It isn't for the courts to decide which are safe countries,
it's the government and the country's incidentally were Bangladesh and Egypt,
and yet they were declared not safe because it could
have been that they could have faced persecution, torture or
(27:49):
inhuman or degrading treatment, and that therefore was not a
safe country to return them to.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right, thanks so much for that, Devin Gray are
UK euro correspondent with US Tuscan, eleven minutes away from
six Ryan Bridge, se New Zealand have done it again,
winning the thirty seventh America's Cup in Barcelona. It was
a history making win for the Kiwis. They are the
first team to win the trophy for the third time
in a row. Peter Montgomery is sailing commentator, the Voice
(28:15):
of Yachting. He's with us this morning, Peter. Good morning
to you, cureder. Peter. Can you hear us? I think
we might be Pete. Have we got you? Peter Montgomery?
Are you on the line? I think we might have
lost the vote when we can't hear that the beautiful
dose tones of the Voice of Yachting at the moment
(28:37):
for some reason. But we will try and get him back.
It has just gone eleven minutes away from six. We're
going to talk to Mike before the top of the
hour as well, along with a discussion, albeit a brief one,
about smacking. Over in the UK, they are looking at
banning smacking. They've already done it in Scotland, they've already
done it in Wales, and now there are calls to
do it in England. This is the Children Commissioner in
(29:01):
England reckons they need to start banning smacking because of
this horrible case of a ten year old who was
allegedly suffered two years of abuse by her father and
by an uncle and a mother in the house as well.
And there basically the sentiment is you ban smacking, you
will help to stop horrific incidents like this. And I
(29:21):
know that we band smacking in two thousand and seven,
so I wanted to see whether people thought that that
has actually had a material impact. It's just gone ten
away from six. We'll chat about that in a second,
but we do now have I believe Peter Montgomery with
us to talk America's Cup. Good morning, good morning. Thank
you for being with me. Really appreciate it. First of all,
what's your reaction? How are you feeling about this?
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Well?
Speaker 13 (29:44):
I think given how complex these boats are to design
and bill, this has been a remarkable achievement by TEA
New Zealand and are getting ten England.
Speaker 14 (29:55):
Tea New Zealand showed what a superior all round package
they had from the speed and performance of the boat,
and more notably, the way the sailors were talking is
when the commentators stopped talking over audio, we could hear
how combined and how good the ten Zand package was
in contrast to any us. It's just seened only the
(30:16):
two helms when we're talking, and so I was very
impressed what TVZ and were able to pull off.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Peter, do you think it will come the America's Cup
will come back here.
Speaker 14 (30:28):
Well, who knows a lot of other factors, but when
there's people like you negative against it and a whole
bunch of others, then the end result is that well
one of the things that the America's Cup will have
an impact on the New Zealand like no other sporting event.
(30:49):
Are you aware of Southern Spas and Red Wire? I
mean Southern Spas are a huge mass manufacturing operation and
composites and now they've got major contracts with an organization
and Bold and space exploration because of their brilliant and composites.
I mean there's a sidebar that things apart from all
(31:10):
the souper yachts coming to New Zealand where they've all
got to be, a lot of work has done and
there are other things that bring to New Zealand. So
there's a lot of other factors rather than just a
sporting World championship where people come in and bring supporters.
(31:31):
There are a lot of sidebar effects from the America's
Cup that people are not considering.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Good Point. Good Point is a whole industry you could
say that that's behind it and thrives, particularly in Auckland
Off the back of it, Peter.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
We have more than the whole industry, more than just
a tourism industry and fans coming to fill hotel rooms
or whatever, and more than sale makers and spa makers.
There's been a byproduct that's come out of it that
no other sport brings. And I think that that there's
(32:05):
an important factor. I mean here, Team years It well
Enios had Mescedi's Formula one, Alinghi had Red Bull Formula one,
Lula Rossa had Ferrari Formal one, and Team New Zealand
didn't have any of that. And yet they had blokes
with the brains and wit to be able to do that,
(32:27):
particularly with their foils, but no one's giving them any
credit for that. It's more well, I don't want the
America's Cup to come to New Zealand because it's cost
you know, rich white, wealthy people they can pay their
own way, when in fact it's creating a whole bunch
of jobs and income in an area that people are
(32:49):
not aware of.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, Peter, thank you very much for your analysis this morning.
Really appreciate having you on the program. Peter Montgomery, sailing commentator,
just gone six away from six.

News Talk saidby.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Four away from six, Good morning, it's Monday. Great to
have you with us. We're apparently going to win the cricket.
We're ninety eight for six, Glenn says. Glenn said, we're
going to win the cricket, So blame him if we don't.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Fatal fatal mistake and people are saying voting Glenn right,
it sounds like Peter Montgomery just slapped you.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It sounds like Peter Montgomery just told you off. Ryan.
I think I did this get a telling off from
Peter Montgomery for suggesting that the America's cut probably shouldn't
come back here.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Well it's not sure. Well shouldn't as different to wouldn't.
I'll predict right now it'll never be back. Once you
lose something of this significance through our own ineptitude and
ability to get our act together, it doesn't come back.
I mean, you know you've got Spain, you got Saudi Arabia,
the challenger of recorders is England. That yeah, the major players.
You need money, you need a couple of hundred million.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Dollars money ain't here, which we don't have. You've got
Grant Dalton on this morning, Golden and Peter Burling brilliant
have a gret day of run. See tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, or

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 beds and a play at store News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
They'd be good morning at a six after five, Welcome
to news Talks. They'd be starting off your week in
the right way. Peter Montgomery is with us just before six.
Will Auckland host the next America's Cup? Have to have
this debate anyway, we will have it. Peter Montgomery with
us before six. Gavin Gray out of the UK, ias
planning an attack in Berlin. King Charles last ten minutes
(00:36):
at lunch in Sydney and the meatworks seem to be
closing down left, right and center. Who's going to process
all our beef and lamb? That's coming up in the
next ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
The agenda by.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Now it is Monday, the twenty first of October. Hamas
officials say at least eighty seven people have been killed
in a strike in northern Gaza overnight.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
This is an ongoing military offensive Bazrael. Now that's been
focused on Northern Gaza for well over a week, and
the latest incident was an Israeli a strike against what
is reported to be a residential tower block in Beitler.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Here, Israel says people were warned before they fired new
rockets and the death toll is being exaggerated by Hamas.
The United States is investigating after top secret US documents
assessing Israel's plan to attack Iran were posted on social
media platform Telegram. A US official told the Associated Press
the documents quote appear to be legitimate. Moscow is accusing
(01:31):
the UK of killing Russian civilians and what it calls
a proxy war. Moscow's ambassador to London did an interview
with the BBC hes Andre Kieln.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
The UK government. He is alleging aggressive war against Russia
by the hens of the Ukrainians. This is a proxy
war led by the United Kingdom's government by providing little weapon.
Is which UK government is killing Russian soldiers and civilians.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
You think that we're at war.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
With your country, I think that you are aggressive or
your wagon proxy war against the Rosciat.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The guy who wrote this song and many other hits
has a message for the music industry after the death
of Liam Payne to it what I can.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
Should be a better man.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Guy Chambers is a British songwriter friend of Robbie Williams.
He says under eighteen year olds should not be allowed
to join pop bands, which is an perhaps understandable reaction
to the death of somebody so young. But it's completely impractical,
isn't it. And by the way, music probably as a vehicle,
has saved far more lives than it has taken. You
(02:41):
would have to argue it is eight after five.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds at a playing
store News Talk Siddy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, get a good morning. Great to have you here
on a Monday. Andrew Bailey bit weird little bit, the
whole loser thing. And remember you were at high school
and you would do well. Maybe you didn't, but we
used to do loser, loner, something more wrong and you
do this thing with your fingers. Anyway, it sounds like
that that's what Andrew Bailey was doing to a person
(03:14):
he didn't know. This is a cabinet minister. I actually
bumped into Andrew Bailey. I did an event in Wellington
last week and he was there and I've never met
the guy before and he came bounding over like an
excited puppy to say that. I was gush, you're looking smart,
don't you dress so well? But I think he's I
got the sense he's just one of those banter guys,
(03:37):
you know, and that you can take that one or
two ways. Some people take that well, some people think
that was offensive. The man's a creep or a freak
or whatever. I took it obviously. The former the complainant,
who it turns out now actually wrote to the opposition
party leaders as well about Andrew Bailey, not just to
(03:57):
the Prime Minister, has taken it. The latter anyway, what
do we think of Andrew Bailey? But we'd move on. Also,
this morning we're talking about the America's Cup, not that
I really want to be talking about the America's Cup,
because we do this all the time. We win the
thing and then do we host it. So last time
the viewer numbers were nine hundred and forty million. Viewers
(04:19):
around the world had eyes on the America's Cup here
in New Zealand, which is not a bad thing. The
taxpayers stumped up about one hundred and thirty million dollars.
The rate payers one hundred and thirteen million dollars, though
most of that was on infrastructure that you can barely
open the walking bridge down at Auckland's Via Act at
the moment. So I don't know what do we think?
(04:41):
Do you care? Do you want the America's Cup back here?
Would you want our money invested in bringing it back here?
Nine ninety two is the number of text I do
not care, frankly either way. It is eleven minutes after five.
Y're on News Talk CB Bryan Bridge, Hey, look at you, Queenstown.
(05:06):
Queenstown is about to become a city if it wants
to be. It doesn't have to become a city, but
if it wants to become a city, it can. There's
a new data out showing they are edging closer to
the magic thirty thousand number, which means they can have
themselves declared a city as opposed to just just a district.
I'll tell you more about that in the second Monday
(05:27):
Morning News Talks. Eleven after five.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Care Jean Jen and the Sun.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Bryan Bridge, new for twenty twenty four on early edition
with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
News Talks.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It'd be fourteen after five News Talks there'd be lots
of texts coming in already on the America's Cup and
where that we should host it here in New Zealand
next time round. We'll get to those in a second.
New Zealand has ranked last for infrastructure delivery. This is
a global survey out today. Seventeen percent of kiwis said
they believe that we have a good record of delivering
national infrastructure projects. You can't argue with that, can you.
(06:08):
We are tied last with Hungary according to the IPSOS
twenty twenty four Global Infrastructure Index. Over two thirds of
US believe the country is not doing enough to meet
its infrastructure needs. That figure has been steadily increasing from
fifty five percent in twenty nineteen. So tell us something
we don't know. But there you have it, the cold
(06:30):
hard truth. We're not very good at infrastructure. It is
fourteen after five Ray and Bridge Alliance Meatworks are set
to close its Smithfield plant and Timadou by the end
of the year, resulting in the loss of about six
hundred jobs. It's a huge loss for the sector and
we need plants like it to process our meat. Dan
Bolton is the Silver Fir and Farms Chief executive he's
(06:52):
with me this morning. Dan, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Can you hear me right there?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Yes, Oh, there we.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Go, Dan, Welcome to the show. Good to have you on.
Is this a worry when we hear about these closures?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Clearly a worry when there's many job losses there and
devastating for the people of the Timory community. You know, Ryan,
that's extually my hometown and silf and farms. We have
our own workforce and Timory, so I know how much
the locals are hurting after this announcement right now.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Is this because our stock is reducing in the you know,
we don't need the capacity at these meatworks anymore, or
what's going on here?
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Yeah, that's exactly right. So sheep numbers have been declining,
and you know, our farmers, particularly sheep farmers, have had
some better land news options in front of them. As
you know. That's predominantly been linked to the settings that
have allowed pine trees to be planted on productive sheep
country in you couple that with probably eighteen months of
relatively depressed land export returns and that's just accelerated that change.
(07:56):
So land news change is a big part of it,
you know, Civil food and farms we don't accept that
trend will continue. We feel there's an excellent future demand
for New Zealand produced, particularly sustainable produce protein, and that
includes our land. But as an industry, you know, we're
going to have to evolve and be innovative to ensure
we can capture that. And you know in our sheet
(08:18):
beef and venison farmers deserve to thrive. But to do that,
they're going to need a really strong and efficient and
viable processing sector and that's going to require investment, and
then it requires investment in our processing facilities. But I
think what we're seeing at the moment is just a
realignment of processing capacity versus the available available land numbers.
(08:39):
And I guess when you've got too much capacity, there
needs to be an adjustment because a large, expensive infrastructure
to run. In history shows that industries had to adapt
over time to make sure we have an efficient network.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Plus a big labor Because I say so, it would
Silver Firm's Silverffirm potentially look at investing in somewhere like
well More in some way like tim to try and
create more capacity there.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Yeah, well, or we already have a large process and capacity.
But I think you know, is there you know, I
think the question you're asking is is there a challenge
there for farmers in that region. I think they're still
sufficient capacity across that wider South canabary Otago Canterbury region,
so I don't think there's going to be a challenge
there for farmers to get the animals processed in that
particular area for the season ahead.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
How's the outlook looking. We're expecting farm gate prices from
processes and exporters soon. How are things tracking?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Yeah, Actually, beef's looking really good, you know, particularly off
the demand and the supply shortage up into the USA,
but also other key markets are performing well Japan and Korea,
Europe and even China on chill beef items is looking
really positive. And I think you know, today all beef
farm gate pricings that record high, so not a lot
to complain about there, and even prime beef is looking
(09:56):
pretty good. So now we see beef pricing remain firm
as we move into twenty twenty five and probably sitting
about seventy cents to a dollar above the five year average,
and I think farmers will be pretty happy with that outcome.
For lamb farmers, you know, and that's clearly pricing hasn't
been where it's needed to be and still sitting below
the five year average, but you know that's been driven
(10:18):
by an oversupply out of Australia with them a record
production level. So but that said, we're seeing that for
that supply position for casts even we're actually seeing some
shortages now on lamb up in the UK and EU
market said some pretty favorable price signals as we head
into twenty twenty five, so we're seeing lamp pricing lifts
back to more sustainable levels for our farmers, which is
(10:39):
exactly the news after and believe it or not, we're
actually getting some outstanding pricing on certain items such as
lamb racks and lamb looyins that we all love, but
unfortunately there's the whole, the whole animal we need to sell.
We've sort of going to get the rest of the
carcass pricing back up to where it needs to be
and China's going to play an important part of that.
And we're getting some green shoots out of China as well.
(11:01):
So it's on heading in the right direction, but still
a little bit good to go for our land farmer's good.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Nice to finish on some positive News Dan, thank you
very much for your time this morning. That's Dan Bolton's
silverfer and Farm's chief executive. Nineteen after five on News
Talk said, be your texts on the America's Cup coming
in thick and fast. We'll get to the next the.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
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 (11:27):
News Talk said be. Twenty one after five, News Talks
said be Ryan, Yes, bring the cut back to Auckland
and compete here. Ryan, certainly, I think the money would
be well invested. Team New Zealand come up with a
winning plan and be successful and using that money here.
No to the America's Cup returning here, money would be
better spent and our health system says lou it Is.
Twenty two minutes after five on news Talk said, b
(11:50):
Ryan Bridge Andrew Orison's here with sport.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Good morning Greeting's Ryan got a view on that. I'd
be surprised if it comes back here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Why because of the cost and because of the viewers.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
And I think they've they seem pretty settled in being
able to have it in Barcelona, or maybe it goes
through the field to I know Saudi Arabia or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, right, so that's where the real money.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Is, some serious money there.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We're going to talk gold, black gold. We're gonna talk
to Peter Montgomery about that just before Sex right now.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Very good, great to hear from PJ.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The White Fans are facing South Africa in the two
twenty World Cup final right now.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
They are the last report. They just got the key
wickets in New Zealand of Laura Wolvart, who is the
pro Teers skipper, and they were fifty nine for two
South Africa in the tenth over, so they're chasing one
hundred and sixty to win. He's put some breaks on
the South Africans and I think they're looking pretty promising.
To be honest, I think that New Zealand, when neither
(12:48):
of these teams have won a World coming in, Australia
have always dominated. But this is an outstanding display from
New Zealand, particularly coming into the tournament having lost ten
in a row, ten in a row, yeap, so they've
turned it around. I mean, all bit tough opposition Australia
in England, but to some of the younger players coming
through and immediate cur today showing her experience forty three
(13:10):
or thirty eight key partnership with fifty seven for the
fourth wicket with Brook calidate.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Stupid question. So this is the Teacher World Cup Final?
It is? So we've lost the last ten games.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
How did we get to know into the final leading
into the tournament?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So no, just to clarify.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Lost ten and made the final.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Bar is low here. Hey, Liam Lawson racing in Formula
one this morning?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yes, indeed, so that's something we've all been looking forward
to for a while for the Racing Bulls team.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Frothing at he's got the.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Accelerator down, has he reaving? So yeah, that's going to
be exciting in the in the US. So we wait
and see as how. I think he's been back back
to about twenty on the grid though, due to a
penalty or something of that nature. So we'll have to
see how how he can fear and is weaving his
way through the field. But exciting none the less. He's
(14:05):
got these what six Grand Prix and also a couple
more sprint races. I think finished sixteenth, wasn't in the
first sprint anyway yesterday and now we'll get to see
the main event.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Very good. We might skip the what happened with the
black Caps beating India.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Yeah, that's a monumental feat that one. I mean, third
time in thirty seven attempts away against India and just
hearing through two that South Africa was lost a third
wicket well as well in the finals. So yeah, dramatic
scenes and Dubai at the moment. But yeah, over in Bengalaru,
New Zealand winning with yeah, I think just a tremendous showing.
(14:41):
Really eight wicket victory dominated India and that opening test.
Still the Holy Grail never won a series in India.
Two tests to come, we'll see how the unfinda cup.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Full night, I went to the AUCKLANDFC game. It was
fun ninety minutes as a long time, isn't that. It's
good here's where you're coming from.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, and good to get a win
on the board for them in their opening opening fixture.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, totally about it, Andrew, thank you very much for that.
Andrew Ortison was sport twenty five minutes after five. When
we come back, I'm going to tell you there's a
couple of stories out about beneficiaries this morning, and neither
of them makes sense.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
The early edition Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Talks A twenty seven after five. Coming up to the
news here on news Talks, there be a couple of
stories in their news today which you will you will
notice one of them, and I'll just read you the
first line from this story. Ministry of Social Development officials
warned their minister that using payment cards as a sanction
for beneficiaries can be stigmatizing and open to exploitation. What so,
(15:47):
either the poor things will stigmatize them, will tarnish their
good reputations, or those bludges that will just exploit the
hell out of the cards. You know, which is it?
Are they bad? Are they good? It just seems confused
piece of advice from the Ministry for Social Development in
my eyes. At least you know they're going to flog
them off these cards on Facebook, sell them or are
(16:10):
we tarnishing their good reputations by giving them to them
in the first place. When you design a system, a
safety net like this, it should be done for the
dignity and the simplicity of those who desperately need it.
I think we can all agree with that, however, you
need to have enough hoops and barriers and checks and
balances for those who would exploit the system. We're good people,
(16:33):
we're fair minded people, ask Kiwis. But there are dicks
among us who rip systems off, who don't look after
their kids, who don't use the money for the purpose
of feeding their families, etc. Those people do exist, and
treating them with free cash and no consequences is not
going to change that situation, surely not. Why would you
(16:57):
change when everything is just handed to you on a
silver platter, whether that's cash or whether it's a card.
You're not going to solve that problem. So you have
to It is a balancing act, but you have to
design a system that is there for people who need it,
but also can't be exploited by those who would seek
to do so. Twenty nine minutes after five News Talk,
(17:18):
Ryan Bridge News is coming up next. We will look
at Queenstown and whether it will become a city anytime soon.
We've got data from the census, the census that has
been weirdly drip fed, isn't it. It's like one day
it's like, well there's three lesbians living in Timaru. You
know the next day it's like we've got a health
(17:39):
crisis and christ Church anyway, Queen on.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with Ryan
Bridge and Smith's City New Zealand's Furniture Beds and a
plying store. News Talk said, be.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Good morning New Zealand. It is twenty four minutes away
from six. Welcome to your Monday, and congratulations to our
boys for winning the America's Cup again, third time in
a row. First time that's happened. Apparently we're going to
talk to Peter Montgomery about whether we should host it
here next time round. That's just coming up just before six.
Gavin Gray out of the UK. The Islamic State terror
(18:22):
group is back with a vengeance planning plotting in Berlin.
This time it was a Libyan national who has been
suspected of carrying out an attack. We'll have more information
on that shortly. I just feel like with the America's
Cup thing, they I don't think even Team New Zealand
wants to be here. This is just my reading of it.
(18:45):
You know, you can't make as much money here. It
feels a little bit like we're holding them back. Oh,
you have to haste it here you don't have to
and you'll probably make more money and have more fun
and have more people coming to see you if you
do it elsewhere. It's like when you you know, when
if you get someone to come to stay in Auckland, right,
and it's between your house and a friend's house, so
(19:06):
you can stay with them where you can stay with us,
and you know your house is small, you'd be living
on top of each other. It's crammed, it's not as nice.
They want to go stay at the nice house. Let
them go and stay at the nice house. Let them
go and make the money. They need to keep their
sport alive, because the goodness Sax, that's the most important
thing after all, isn't it. Twenty two away from sex
(19:27):
and bread Breach. We're going to our reporters around the country.
Cullen Proctor is in Dunedin for us this morning, Culum,
good to have you on the show. Tell me what's
going on with Queenstown and potentially Queenstown becoming a city.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Yeah, well that could happens as soon as this week.
Estimate's a due outloader this week, expecting to show that
Queenstown's population has exceeded thirty thousand people, so that would
see Queenstown joining the list of large urban areas commonly
known as cities. The district council already has the fifty
thousand wider district population needed to apply to become a
(20:05):
city council. But all that needs to be done now
is for the Local Government Commission to be satisfied on
a couple of details before Queenstown can get formal.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
City council status.
Speaker 9 (20:15):
That decision would then be referred to Local Government Minister
Simeon Brown.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Ah, So it's the thirty thousand thing is actually a
bit of a misnomer. It's the fifty thousand for the
district that you need to to get the city status.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
That's the magic number. Hark, there's no doubt that Queenstown's
at that point. Well, it's the fastest growing area in
New Zealand, so I mean, one day it will be
the second largest city in the South Island. It's just
a matter of time. But we'll find out if it's
officially a city maybe later this week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
How's the weather in Needing today?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Occasional rain seventeen today.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Brilliant, Thank you. Let's go to Claishev. What has in
christ Church this morning. Clear, Good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What's happening in your neck of the woods.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Well, we have the murder trial for the man accused
of killing christ Church real estate agent Feyboo beginning today.
You may remember the forty four year old, a real
estate agent, went missing. She was missing for more than
a year after failing to pick up her nine year
old daughter from after schoolcare. We knew for a long
time she had been last seen working at a home
in Hornby. Her body was then discovered in a shallow
(21:18):
grave in a farm at green Park, which is southwest
of christ Church in July. Just been now ting. Jun
Chao has been charged with her murder. The trial is
expected to begin today and we'll take up to six weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All right, how's the weather clear?
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Cloudy to start the week.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Easterly is developing this afternoon and a high of twenty
two brilliant.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Thank you. Just a quick update on the cricket apparently
we've had two wickets South Africa now at seventy seven
for five. It has just gone twenty away from six.
On news talks, he'b and we're going to Max in Wellington. Max,
good morning, good morning. What's happening?
Speaker 12 (21:52):
Oh gosh, just when you thought it couldn't get any
worse around Thorndon Key in a few days, the very
well used intersection connecting TENA Cordy Row, Thornton Key and
Hut Road is going to be closed for up to
six months to install some traffic lights. Parents, teacher, students
at several nearby schools use it, most notably Queen Margaret College,
which is just up the hill. Six months and the
(22:14):
school was only told at the end of last week
and these works start this week.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
The principal is appalled.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
It's going to be incredibly disruptive, particularly around exams. Traffic
diverted to Hobson Streets. That's going to create an almighty
chaos along the bollard infected Thornton Key as well. Councilor
Nicolay Young calls it a fiasco. And just to be clear,
this whole seventy plus million dollar Thornton Key project was
commissioned and devised pre Tory Faro's meryalty. But I expect
(22:42):
she'll again bear the brunt of it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I think she might mix. How's the weather today.
Speaker 12 (22:46):
She'll be fine. Northerly seventeenth Central.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Brilliant. Thank you nave us An Aukland. This morning. A
good morning.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
It's a Monday feel, isn't it?
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Just what's feeling so Monday about today?
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Funny things? Hittening, I'm laughing away giggling here.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, we'll have an update on the on.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
The Yeah, hey, where's your TV thinging the remote?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Well, want to be pass it to you? All right?
I do like to have the international wires on just
in case something blows up, because you can't put the
audio up, can you no? Because this is a radio studio,
it would be very distracting for our listeners would anyway.
Artificial intelligence is helping our hospital.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
That's right now AI. Now it could be used to
predict emergency department demand. This is weeks in advance, as
we probably would have guessed.
Speaker 13 (23:34):
So.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Auckland University researchers have tested the latest machine learning modes
and the models similar to chet GPT. This is the
crunch hospital data and perk out just the useful trems
and the authors have found two models in particular performing
well in predicting future admissions and obviously that could take
some pressure off hospital planners. So the finding show AI
(23:56):
could potentially inform hospital management and guide healthcare interventions. So
let's see how this go through. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
It is pretty cool. If they can do that accurately,
then that's a good thing. How's the weather today?
Speaker 11 (24:07):
Fine weather today? Apart from morning cloudy periods? Nineteen is
the high quite warm?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Though very warm? Indeed? Gavin Gray out of the UK
next and Peter Montgomery on the America's Cup Is it
coming home? Because I know you just can't get enough
of me, I want to tell you about an exciting
new project that has been launched. I'm hosting a weekly
podcast series called Bridge Talks Business with Milford. Each episode,
I'll be getting to get together with a member of
Milford's team of leading analysts, fund managers, and financial experts
(24:35):
for a look at the week's biggest business stories. It's
a time of financial turbulence with the global economy and transition.
Inflation looks to be declining in many countries, but volatility remains.
So why is it happening, what can be done about it?
And where are things heading. We'll look at the data,
will work out what we can learn from market history,
and ask the hard questions. This will be your go
(24:55):
to for expert insights on the markets, business and the
economy both here and over. Join me for Bridge Talks
Business with Milford to subscribe on iHeart or wherever you

Speaker 1 (25:12):
International correspondence with Insieye Insurance Peace of Mind for New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Business fourteen away from six News Talk zib the Islamic
state Tira group was allegedly planning an attack on the
Israeli embassy in Berlin. Gavin Gray's our UK europe correspondent
givin what are we learning about?
Speaker 7 (25:30):
This only just coming in quite sketchy, But the police
and other security forces have detained the man in the
town of Burnham, and that's just outside the German capital.
They also then sent in an elite armed police unit
storming the suspect's apartment, and that's being reported that the
government there is pretty confident that it has thwarted a
(25:53):
possible terror attack. The suspect is said to be a
Libyan national officials are only identifying him as Omar. A
is entitled to anonymity during this stage of the investigation,
but they're saying he intended to carry out a high
profile attack with firearms on the Israeli embassy in Berlin
(26:13):
and had exchanged information with a member of Islamic State
in a messenger chat, so obviously deeply worrying. Another man
who was at the home on that apartment that was
searched was considered a witness and not a suspect. The
Israeli ambassador there has thanked the German security thoughces for
their insuring of the security of the embassy.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Meanwhile, the Italian government they have got this five year deal.
They want to send migrants who've been riscued at sea
to camps in Albania, etc. They've been dealt a bit
of a blow.
Speaker 14 (26:43):
What is it?
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Yeah, they have indeed, so Italy obviously part of the EU,
Albania outside of the EU, and earlier this week, in
a deal that was effectively heralded by some in the
EU as the way forward, they sent sixteen people to
process center in Albania that immediately became twelve because health
screenings assessed that two were children and two were vulnerable.
(27:06):
They were sent back to Italy and a court in
Italy ruled that it wasn't possible to return the remaining
twelve to their countries of origin because they weren't safe countries.
So they have now been returned to Italy as well.
This has cost well in excess a one point four
billion New Zealand dollars so far best plan. Many in
(27:27):
Europe thought this was the way forward. They were looking
at doing something similar that This ruling clearly shows that
there are problems with that. The government in Italy is saying.
It isn't for the courts to decide which are safe countries,
it's the government and the country's incidentally were Bangladesh and Egypt,
and yet they were declared not safe because it could
have been that they could have faced persecution, torture or
(27:49):
inhuman or degrading treatment, and that therefore was not a
safe country to return them to.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right, thanks so much for that, Devin Gray are
UK euro correspondent with US Tuscan, eleven minutes away from
six Ryan Bridge, se New Zealand have done it again,
winning the thirty seventh America's Cup in Barcelona. It was
a history making win for the Kiwis. They are the
first team to win the trophy for the third time
in a row. Peter Montgomery is sailing commentator, the Voice
(28:15):
of Yachting. He's with us this morning, Peter. Good morning
to you, cureder. Peter. Can you hear us? I think
we might be Pete. Have we got you? Peter Montgomery?
Are you on the line? I think we might have
lost the vote when we can't hear that the beautiful
dose tones of the Voice of Yachting at the moment
(28:37):
for some reason. But we will try and get him back.
It has just gone eleven minutes away from six. We're
going to talk to Mike before the top of the
hour as well, along with a discussion, albeit a brief one,
about smacking. Over in the UK, they are looking at
banning smacking. They've already done it in Scotland, they've already
done it in Wales, and now there are calls to
do it in England. This is the Children Commissioner in
(29:01):
England reckons they need to start banning smacking because of
this horrible case of a ten year old who was
allegedly suffered two years of abuse by her father and
by an uncle and a mother in the house as well.
And there basically the sentiment is you ban smacking, you
will help to stop horrific incidents like this. And I
(29:21):
know that we band smacking in two thousand and seven,
so I wanted to see whether people thought that that
has actually had a material impact. It's just gone ten
away from six. We'll chat about that in a second,
but we do now have I believe Peter Montgomery with
us to talk America's Cup. Good morning, good morning. Thank
you for being with me. Really appreciate it. First of all,
what's your reaction? How are you feeling about this?
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Well?
Speaker 13 (29:44):
I think given how complex these boats are to design
and bill, this has been a remarkable achievement by TEA
New Zealand and are getting ten England.
Speaker 14 (29:55):
Tea New Zealand showed what a superior all round package
they had from the speed and performance of the boat,
and more notably, the way the sailors were talking is
when the commentators stopped talking over audio, we could hear
how combined and how good the ten Zand package was
in contrast to any us. It's just seened only the
(30:16):
two helms when we're talking, and so I was very
impressed what TVZ and were able to pull off.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Peter, do you think it will come the America's Cup
will come back here.
Speaker 14 (30:28):
Well, who knows a lot of other factors, but when
there's people like you negative against it and a whole
bunch of others, then the end result is that well
one of the things that the America's Cup will have
an impact on the New Zealand like no other sporting event.
(30:49):
Are you aware of Southern Spas and Red Wire? I
mean Southern Spas are a huge mass manufacturing operation and
composites and now they've got major contracts with an organization
and Bold and space exploration because of their brilliant and composites.
I mean there's a sidebar that things apart from all
(31:10):
the souper yachts coming to New Zealand where they've all
got to be, a lot of work has done and
there are other things that bring to New Zealand. So
there's a lot of other factors rather than just a
sporting World championship where people come in and bring supporters.
(31:31):
There are a lot of sidebar effects from the America's
Cup that people are not considering.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Good Point. Good Point is a whole industry you could
say that that's behind it and thrives, particularly in Auckland
Off the back of it, Peter.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
We have more than the whole industry, more than just
a tourism industry and fans coming to fill hotel rooms
or whatever, and more than sale makers and spa makers.
There's been a byproduct that's come out of it that
no other sport brings. And I think that that there's
(32:05):
an important factor. I mean here, Team years It well
Enios had Mescedi's Formula one, Alinghi had Red Bull Formula one,
Lula Rossa had Ferrari Formal one, and Team New Zealand
didn't have any of that. And yet they had blokes
with the brains and wit to be able to do that,
(32:27):
particularly with their foils, but no one's giving them any
credit for that. It's more well, I don't want the
America's Cup to come to New Zealand because it's cost
you know, rich white, wealthy people they can pay their
own way, when in fact it's creating a whole bunch
of jobs and income in an area that people are
(32:49):
not aware of.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, Peter, thank you very much for your analysis this morning.
Really appreciate having you on the program. Peter Montgomery, sailing commentator,
just gone six away from six.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
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 flying store.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
News Talk saidby.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Four away from six, Good morning, it's Monday. Great to
have you with us. We're apparently going to win the cricket.
We're ninety eight for six, Glenn says. Glenn said, we're
going to win the cricket, So blame him if we don't.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Fatal fatal mistake and people are saying voting Glenn right,
it sounds like Peter Montgomery just slapped you.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It sounds like Peter Montgomery just told you off. Ryan.
I think I did this get a telling off from
Peter Montgomery for suggesting that the America's cut probably shouldn't
come back here.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
Well it's not sure. Well shouldn't as different to wouldn't.
I'll predict right now it'll never be back. Once you
lose something of this significance through our own ineptitude and
ability to get our act together, it doesn't come back.
I mean, you know you've got Spain, you got Saudi Arabia,
the challenger of recorders is England. That yeah, the major players.
You need money, you need a couple of hundred million.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Dollars money ain't here, which we don't have. You've got
Grant Dalton on this morning, Golden and Peter Burling brilliant
have a gret day of run. See tomorrow.
