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 vans and a play a store.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Talks, it'd be.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Good morning, welcome to the start of your week. Is
just gone six after five on News Talks, there'd be
our lead interview just before six this morning. Are gangs
running drugs through regional airports? And if they are, is
that really a problem? Cop twenty nine a big cop
out according to some. The UK's trial and giving cash
directly to homeless people to get them off the streets?
(00:36):
Is that going to work? We lived to London Andrew
here was sport plus your kids and vaping? Is it
getting worse or not? Conflicting numbers this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The agenda.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It is Monday, the twenty fifth of November. Many are
calling the climate change conference in Azerbaijan a cop out.
So the poor countries, as I told you last week,
they wanted one point three trillion dollars one point three
trillion dollars to cope with the impacts of climate change.
How much did they get? Three hundred billion?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
This document is nothing more than an optical illusion.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
This in our opinion will not address.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The enormity of the challenge.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We all fess.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, a lot of people didn't like it. A lot
of poorer countries didn't like it, and then a lot
of rich countries didn't like it either. Hundreds of volunteers
have helped to refloat around forty pilot whales. This is
a mass stranding in Rocaka Beach north of Auckland. Project
Jonah says there is a risk that whales might become
restranded in the coming days. Three adults and one calf
(01:50):
died in the stranding. It's very sad and I hate
seeing this happen. But can we please stop calling them
pilot whales because they're clearly not really good. The body
of a missing in the United Arab Emirates has been
found in what Israel has called a criminal anti Semitic
terrorist incident. It's understood he was abducted last week.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
The suspicion here is that he was abducted, taken away,
possibly driven across the border into Immand. But the suspects
are three Uzbek nationals, according to the Israeli media, who
are reported to have fled to Turkey.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The Helen Clark Foundation this morning has a new report
out you'll be delighted to know. It's calling for a
sugary drinks levy to help curb our obesity rates. Says
obesity is a complex problem, one of those ones. But anyway,
I'll get to the details of that in just a second.
It is eight after.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Five Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early
edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a
playing store news dog.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Zidby nine two ninety two is the number to text,
would love to hear from you this morning. The front
page of the Herald is caught on camera. This is
the police officer who's wearing a I don't even know
what the gang is, but wearing a gang patch in
the office. They've obviously confiscated it now. This is before
the band came and took effect. So this is from
(03:13):
a few months ago, but the photo was only just
surfacing now, which is less than ideal for the police.
Do you care. I don't care. I mean I would
expect if I was a police officer and I spent
all day and all night going after I don't know
drug cartels or gangs, and then I finally get, you know,
a bit of a booty. I would probably take photos
(03:36):
with all the cash and the guns, you know. I mean,
you wouldn't put it on the internet. And I don't
know who put this on the internet, but it was
stupid of them. But is that really a big deal?
Is that more of a storm? And a teacup nineteen
nine two the number to text now. Some of the
feedback from police on the gang patch itself has been
quite entertaining, so that along with two arrests in the
(03:57):
Eastern district over the weekend for people wearing their gang patches,
there was a twenty year old man apparently arrested in
Napier late on Saturday night for two bail breaches, but
also for wearing a bandanna, a mangralmov Bang bandana which
was tied to his steering wheel, and so he was
(04:17):
able to be done for that anyway. There are a
few false alarms and the police have let us know that.
In Tuaco, a member of the public called police at
nine forty five am yesterday reporting a large number of
motorcycles and cars traveling in convoy, which the caller believed
were gang related due to their matching clothing. A call
(04:38):
of further reported the group were blocking traffic and traveling
on the wrong side of the road. Police attended and
located the group on River Road. The group was spoken to.
They advised police they were shooting a video for a
clothing brand, so they weren't gang memt Well, I mean
they might have been gang members and maybe this is
part of their new drive. You know, I can't wear
the patch or sell T shirts. In Madamarua, a motorcycle
(05:00):
local writer was pulled over by police and State Highway
two at four forty pm yesterday. The man in his
fifties was wearing a Tribal National Motorcycle Club patch. Tribal
National Motorcycle Club patch. Our officers inquired into the club
and it was confirmed that they were not a gang.
So there you go. Few false alarms, but they had
(05:21):
made a few rests over the weekend. So there you go.
Eleven minutes after five Bridge Bridge. So I'll let you
know what is in Helen Clark's Foundation report out this
morning on obesity. None of it will really surprise you.
But also over in the UK they're giving cash to
the homeless. I'll tell you that story too, will Sue,
(05:43):
I will be your as nasky longer.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
beds at a playing store.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You talk said, by the way, that's the Azerbaijean Conference
on Climate Change COP twenty nine that everybody says has
been a bit of a let down. There's a new
conference starting next week about plastics and rubbish in the ocean.
I'll tell you more about that in a second. It
has just gone fourteen after five year on news talks at.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Been Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
New data this morning from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation
has found that youth vaping rates have dropped more than
fifty percent over the past three years. It's a survey
shows that just twelve percent of nine to thirteen students
had VAPD in the last seven days when the survey
was done. It was down from twenty seven percent in
(06:40):
twenty twenty one. Lea Tisha Harding is the Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation New Zealand chief executive. She's with me this morning.
Good morning, Good morning, Ryan, thank you for being here.
Now is this fly in the face of other stats
we've just had recently about youth vaping.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
No, Actually, if you look at the New Zeland Health
survey that was put out last week, it's a similar story.
We've found that that younger group has actually declined in vaping,
but the older group is actually the one which has increased.
So it is actually in line with what the New
Zealand Health Survey was showing as well.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So you think that your theory is that the younger
people who are not vaping as much as the older ones,
that's new regulations that's changed that.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yeah, definitely, we think it's the regulations and also the
education around the harms of vaping and the awareness out there.
I think that's had a big impact. But as I said,
although overall we've seen a reduction compared to when we
ran our twenty twenty one survey, so we reported vaping
of twelve point two percent back then, now compared to
(07:49):
twenty six percent in the year thirteen. That's dramatically increased
to twenty six percent having vaped in the last seven days,
whereas it was only twelve percent and twenty twenty one.
So this sort of stands to reason if we look
at our year ten eleven, twelve thirteen, that was actually
reducing back in twenty twenty one, but it's increased in
(08:11):
this survey.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Right. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Yeah, I think it's because if we look at when
regulations came and even the R eighteen, the restriction of
buying nictine containing vapes, that wasn't until November of twenty twenty,
and of course we ran the first survey in August
of twenty twenty one. So you've got this group that
had very little regulations around taking up vaping and some
of very very high nicotine doses as well, because of
(08:37):
course back then the nicotine containing vapes had up to
fifty fifty three milligrams of nicotine in them. So you've
got this group that has probably become quite addicted to
these nicotine vates and that's carried on through.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Half of those that were surveyed said that vaping was
harming their health. Does that mean the other half thing?
It's fine?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
When we run the survey, we get obviously a lot
of anecdotal evidence from how people feel about their vaping,
and that certainly came through that it was impacting their house,
especially these older students. They talk about things like how
it affects their sports. They're finding they're out of breath
when they've been vaping, and of course some of them
(09:21):
are actually waiting in the middle of the night to
vape as well, which is of huge concern.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's not good. So what do you want to do
about it? One of the things is to increase the
age to twenty one.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah, there's several recommendations and slowly, I guess, I think
with New Zealand we have slowly done this piecemeal approach
to regulations over the years, but unfortunately it has been
just that it's coming in with reducing them a teen
content which has been pushing for to be in line
with the EU at twenty milligrams, and that's across the
disposable vapes and of coursely syllable vapes. Increasing the age,
(09:57):
but also the advertising being able to see the products
from the front store window or going into general retailers
and seeing these products. That hope is going to change
next year with the new amendment till to the Smoke
Free and we Get Products Bill, and obviously we've submitted
into that and we're hoping to see that actually come
to puistion next year because that advertising would have a
(10:17):
big impact.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah. Absolutely, all right, attention, thank you very much for
your time this morning. Lautensha Harding Esthma and Rich Respiratory Foundation,
New Zealand chief executive with new numbers out this morning
on vaping, twenty six percent of kids of older teenagers vaping.
That's not great, is it. I think there's more teenagers
vaping today than ever smoked, which I suppose it's what
(10:42):
they tell us. It's a bit healthier than smoking, so
I guess that might make sense. And it's not as
much older and you know, you don't smell when you
kiss each other, et cetera. But it's not great? Is it?
Just gone? Nineteen minutes after five news Talks ever.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Get ahead of the headlines? Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a playing store on News Talks, say'd.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Be at twenty one after five year O news talk
Sai'd be great to have your company this Monday morning.
Andrew Alison is here was sport good morning Greeting's Ryan,
so good news for was shtup and not so much
for Liam Lawson.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Yeah, so the trip to Sin City with the Formula
One drivers as a resulted in Lawson was sixteenth place,
So not in the points this time. Probably understandable that
he's going to just have to work his way in
here even though he's only got these limited number of
races to work with to establish himself on the circuit.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
But really the story.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Probably max with Stapan of the day four consecutive Formula
One drivers championships, joins an A League Group one, Manuel Fangio,
Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Sir Lewis Hamilton. It's a
fairly alite.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Crowd, prestigious. Agree, That's that's right, That's right. I got
up to watch the Well, I didn't get up that early,
did I because it was like nineteen am, but myself
out of being the mid morning oil. Yeah yeah yeah,
patch yea was not convincing.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Yeah, it's probably more the off field stuff than anything.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Is that.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
With tj PA introducing the white hanging into the Haka,
which has gone well, I think I think there's some
controversy around there, and I mean, to me, the Harker
is meant to be a challenge to the opposition. I'm
not quite sure.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Maybe t J.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Pedar could explain it better, but yeah, and it's attempted
to but I'm not sure how that comes into challenging
the opposition but bringing in the supposed unity at home,
et cetera that he has mentioned. So yeah, it's it's
politicizing the situation. But then politics are always in sport
in one way, shape or form, aren't they. So it's yeah,
(12:56):
it's it's a tricky one.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
The Black Foils the sales GP and yes.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
A tremendous start from there. So winning off the coast
Dubai that's the opening series of the season for them.
And now they'll take their their talents and their skills
and their technology to New Zealand to Auckland for the
first time January eighteen and nineteen, which will be quite
the extravaganza in the White Mazar Harbor.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I'm lucky to thought of that.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that should be good fun. So yeah,
leading the championship and defending their title.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
There, brilliant Andrew, thank you very much for that. Thanks
all right, So here's always Andrew Willison was zi BI Sport.
It is twenty three minutes after five you're on news Talks,
there'd be still to come. We're going to our UK
Europe correspondent, Kay Oliver. There is a push to do
the end of life bill like the one we did here,
giving those terminally ill adults the chance to know, basically
(13:50):
say goodbye a little early. Lots of pushback on that though,
and Kay will explain that to us. That's coming up
after the news at five point thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
The early edition full show podcast on i AM Radio.
How It By News Talks have been.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Your news Talks be twenty six minutes after five. Remember
the excitement, the pride at being first, the proclamations of
cleaning up our world and making it better for tomorrow.
I'm talking about the single plastic use bag band on
twenty eighteen. Remember that. A few salient points to note
this morning, six years on from when it was announced.
(14:26):
There's a report out this morning on plastics. The use
of plastic is expected to treble globally by twenty sixty,
most of it in Africa and Asia. Plastic waste will
also treble by twenty sixty. Half of it will end
up in the landfill. Less than a fifth of it
(14:46):
will be recycled, so well done. You know our pack
and save efforts, we're really doing well for the world.
Who's profiting from this? That's the other thing I wonder.
I don't know how much supermarkets make every time I
forget my reusable plastic bags and I have to buy
the paper ones. But the price of the paper one
the other day that I paid was forty cents, and
(15:08):
I can remember when they first started telling them, it
was like ten or twenty cents, So there's been a
bit of inflation going on since then. And now they've
got Christmas trees printed on them. How much extra is
that costing. I don't want a Christmas tree on my
paper bag, thank you very much. I want the paper
bag not to break just because I put some wet
(15:29):
milk in it, so annoying. In Australia, coson Wall was
apparently profit. This was after they changed their rules, profits
seventy one million dollars a year off their reusable bags.
Now I don't know what the number is here. I
have no idea, but I would have thought we'd be
(15:52):
asking ourselves a few questions. Do I want us going
back to plastic bags? No, I don't necessarily want us
going back to plastic bags, but could we please know
a couple of things. Where are our bags actually ending
up in the ocean in the first place or was
that other people's bags? You know, were you throwing your
plastic bag in the ocean when you went and checked
(16:13):
the beach? Were the bags from Countdown New Zealand? I
don't know? And how much are the supermarkets making out
of us for the bags that break before we get
them to the boot of our cars. Just a couple
of things I'd like to know. Twenty eight minutes after
five year on news Talk said be Bryan Bridge, lots
(16:33):
of feedback coming in about TJ. Petanara as well, and
I wonder what people think of that personally. I guess
the counterfacture would be if somebody came out and said,
you know, a captain after an All Blacks game came
out and said, yeah, well it's a great game, but
first of all, I'd like to declare my allegiance to democracy,
(16:56):
you know, or make some kind of political statement like that.
Would we That was okay? I don't know. It was
his prerogative apparently because he was leading the hackers, so
he can he can make the points he wants to
make twenty nine after five, you're on news Talk ZIDB.
This morning, we're over to the UK afternoons.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture bids and
applying store news Talk said bad one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
In New Zealand. Twenty four minutes away from six, Y're
on news Talk ZB. We're going to the UK and
Europe with our correspondent in just a few moments. Also,
we're going to the Airports Association. Apparently gangs are running
drugs through regional airports, thereby skipping the scanners and the
X ray machines, et cetera. Does it actually matter whether
they're running their drugs on a domestic flight or on
(18:24):
a bus or in a car. We'll speak to the
Airlines Association about that shortly. Lots of your feedback on
TJ Pedanada. As you can understand, Ryan, I am fuming
that Pedanada brought politics into the All blacks Hacker says
this listener. Sports is sports, politics is politics. Let's keep
it that way. Sport is the only place you can
(18:45):
go to get away from politics, and I resent its
creep back into sport. Yeah, I suppose. My question is
because I don't really care how don't have a problem
with what happened, But would it be okay someone to
come out and pledge allegiance to capitalism and the free market,
(19:05):
you know, and the economy and democracy, you know, before
or after a match? And if that was okay, then
fill your boots. I mean, it's all for one, one
for all, isn't it. Twenty two away from six News
Talk set b Cranbridge. We're going to our reporters around
the country for dnina's news this morning. Blake, Bennie Blake,
Good morning, Good morning. Hearing's set to begin for this
(19:28):
plan to bring MACS to Wonica.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Tweenstown Lake District Council has been reviewing a resource consent
application for the twenty four hour restaurant to open next
to the new Mount Iron Roundabout. More than ninety percent
of submissions are against an opening, with just twenty one
people supporting the idea. Now, of course, this is after
a petition attracted six thousand signatures claiming the fast food
giant doesn't belong in Monica. Around one hundred submitters are
(19:54):
planning to speak at the four day hearing starting today.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I reckon that's a bit snobby. I wouldn't mind a
bit of macis visiting Wyka personally. How's the weather Internedin.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Cloudy periods, light winds, northeast slies for a time in
the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Hive of nineteen brilliant. Thanks Blake high Clear and christ
Church good morning, Hello, good morning. Tell us about the
netball community and the use of Hagley Park.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, so those who know netball will know that Hagley
Park is the home of the majority of the netball
courts down here. The Netball Center now is wanting to
extend the lease from the city Council that's due to
end in April twenty twenty six. It's purpose built indoor
facility with ten courts, opened a year ago and is
used for multiple sports. The center is now busy surveying
(20:37):
the community, the netball community, specifically so it can collect
evidence to present to council. Board chair Warren Poe says
the Hagley courts are cost efficient and used by a
large number of players. He says they're focused on demonstrating
there is strong demand to keep them there, which can
be built on in the future.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
There you go. How's your weather, Claire fine for christ.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Church, Light winds with northeast of east. Later today the
high will be twenty three brilliant.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Thank you, mix is and willing to mix. Good morning
to you. This stolen parrot we spoke about on Friday,
it's been found.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Yeah, you wouldn't. You wouldn't read about it. Quite a
wonderful end to what was looking like quite a sad story.
This sixty year old visitor favorite Stagland's cockatoo pepper, which
was stolen from the wildlife reserve last week. It was
sold on the black market or something. I presumed the
new owners realized what they'd bought, alerted police and the
(21:29):
talking parodi is heading back to Stagland's. Far be it
from us to take something of a victory lap. But
we gave quite good coverage to the theft last week.
We were first to report, published an item in the Herald,
and police say media coverage directly led to the break
in the case. Stagland's very delighted. I'm sure the bird
itself happy too. No word on the thief or thieves
(21:50):
themselves yet police in no comment there, but a happy ending.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Nonetheless, goodness, we would be without U Mex. Do you
know how much it's sold for?
Speaker 12 (22:01):
I believe it was in it crept into the four figures.
I'm not sure if the good Samaritans who handed it
in will get that money back, but not cheap.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
All right, how's your weather? Fine? Fresh northerlies.
Speaker 12 (22:14):

Well I can confirm that that went up for like
for pipper pepper one five hundred. Oh really, yes, so
that's what the person bought the parrot pepper for and
then and good on that person for actually you know, saying,
oh my gosh, this is the stolen parrot and so
oh the cockatoo cocker cocker too.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, it's terrible. I know it steals a cockatoo from
a you know, wild last sanctuary. What's happening with the
Mona Mannui?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Okay, so we know that the self is the leaving Auckland.
They're heading for some well that's happening this week to
remove the almost one thousand tons of fuel and the
sunken Mona w Nui. That's that navy dive and hydrographic
vessel now that's now been underwater more than a month.
This happened after hitting a reef during a survey mission
off the coast of the island of a pool. So
a tug boat will begin the ten day voyage towing
(23:08):
a barge laden with tons of salvage and diving equipment.
Ten days it will take to get to some more again,

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Okay, Oliver as our UK europe correspondent, k great to
have you on the program. Tell us about the end
of life bill some quite heavy hitting opposition to it.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Well, absolutely, Ryan, Yes, and it is going to have
a vote in Parliament this Friday. It's called the Terminally
Ill Adults end of Life Bill that's been proposed by
the Labor MP Kim Leadbetter and basically it would give
those with less than six months to live the right
to die. Now the opposition is mounting and we have
(25:48):
had the Health Secretary West streeting and now the Justice
Secretary Shabanama Mood saying that they are going to vote
against this bill. Ms Mahmood has put out a letter
to her constituents today saying that no government should be
able to offer death on demand, and that she also
(26:09):
worries about placing so great a destructive power in the
hands of the state. She cites sadly recent scandals have
reminded us that the state and those acting on its
behalf are not always benign. So it gives you some
flavor of the opposition that's coming through on this Ryan.
(26:31):
We wait to see what happens on Friday, but it
would seem that in a poll that's been carried out today,
two thirds of the population here are in favor of
this bill.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, it sounds like it might get thrown despite that
opposition from the you know, even the health sictu as
you mentioned. So this Bert, the storm Bert that's coming
well already started to come in already, some lives lost.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Well, absolutely, it's ra around as I'm speaking. I live
close to London. But there's a danger to life warning.
We've had three people already been killed. A motorist has
had a tree smash onto the car. We've got a
dog walker killed, et cetera. We've got seventy flood warnings
across South Wales where they've declared a major incident in
(27:20):
the Rohonda region. We've got thirty one thousand homes in
Northern Ireland without power. We've got rivers rising, people's sandbagging
all over, and lots of people, particularly in Yorkshire, saying
that the local authorities haven't been taking any notice of
warnings that basically their homes are liable to flood though.
(27:43):
You've got a siren screaming out that was used in
World War two to warn people that they're in danger.
So also in London they've canceled. There's a big Winter
Wonderland celebration in Hbark that's been scrapped today, along with
nine other major parks that have been closed as this
what's called a triple weather alert involving snow, rain and
(28:06):
gale force winds. Carry on battering this country.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Goodness mate, all right, well take care there. Kk Oliver,
our UK europe correspondent, just going to living away from
six Bridge. Gang members are apparently using regional flights to
traffic drugs around the country, making the most of the
lower levels of security at our regional airports. Currently, the
security settings mean that flights with fewer than ninety seats
(28:31):
or less than ninety seats on board are unlikely to
go through security screening. Now the government says they're not
going to do much about this. It's a problem for
the police. Billy Mooresdeen, he's done on Airport's Association chief
executive and is with us this morning. Good morning, Billy, Ryan,
thank you for being with me. Is this a big problem?
For you guys.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Look at there's a concern that is regularly discussed among
the airport's airlines in the Civil Aviation Authority, something we're
aware of consumed. But it's important for us to focus
on the fact that the purpose of passenger and bakers
screening is aviation security, and so that means I'm more
for interference with aircraft. These issues are about other illegal
(29:14):
activities and are a meta for the police rather than
aviation security. So while we talk about this in the
context of security at airports, it's operation in. Some of
their issues are that we can take though.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
You're really just more worried about someone bringing a plane down,
aren't you, I mean, rather than exactly yeah, because I
mean does it actually matter. I mean, obviously it's not
ideal for you, but if the drugs are going to go,
they could go on an intercity bus, they could go
on the back of a car, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, you're right about that. Look, there are concerns around
this in terms of the overall security environment at airports
when things like this are going on. Obviously it's a
concern for us because it makes the security environment more tense,
more and more difficult. Terms the people around and the
things that airports are being used for. But there are
(30:09):
steps we can take. For instance, we think that a
stronger and more consistent police presence at airports is a
really good step forward, and we're trying to engage authority
and others on how that could happen. So that's something
that we know both airports and airlines would like to see.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Would you like to see permanent police officers at all
regional airports?
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Not necessarily going that far, but really strong relationships is
important so that the police in that area have a
great engagement with airport staff, with airline staff, so that
that information flow is going so that they're familiar with,
for instance, the airside environment as well. So there's still
some steps we can take there that would help this
(30:52):
kind of situation.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
All right, Billy, thank you very much for that this morning,
Billy More of the New Zealand Airports Association Chief Executive.
You're on News Talks there, b It is a toy.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
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 3 (31:09):
News Talks a B six Away from six on News Talks,
D be very quickly. I told you, I'll tell you
about the Hall and Clark Foundation. They've got a report
out this morning on obesity. Surprise, surprise. We a third
of us are living with obesity or a third of
us robs it should say, are overweight. That is the
third highest rate in the OECD. It cost US nine
(31:30):
billion dollars a year in lost productivity. Their solution one
is basically a sugar tax, two is better education and
stopping the sale of sugary drinks and hospitals, et cetera.
And the third one is basically load us up with ozempic.
It's five to six News Talks at.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
B Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Mike is up next. Good morning, Mike, good morning. Good
to see you and you. This is some pilot weil stranding.
You know where we have these from time to time.
Why do they call them pilot wales because they're clearing
not really good, you know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (32:05):
Have you ever responded?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 13 (32:07):
I haven't, but I've never been you have been tempted? Okay,
so you're on holiday, you're in the able testment.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Right, I'd go down. Would you have how long for? Well,
until they've refloated.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
So, okay, so you've got sixty seven whales, the call's
gone out, you're on the able test.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Four days later.
Speaker 13 (32:22):
Four days later, you're waiting and you've got hypothermia.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Apparently you haven't been fed properly. You're fainting. Apparently. Apparently
they follow one sick whale that's navigating and they get
disorientated and then they all end up stranded. I mean,
so what happens?
Speaker 13 (32:37):
Would you go a second time? Because that happens? So
what happens is you go to float them out and
then they come back in on the tide?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Do you go?
Speaker 13 (32:45):
How long do you stay there?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I love the suicidal, aren't they?
Speaker 13 (32:47):
There's an element to it.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
But right, what's on the show today?
Speaker 13 (32:52):
Oh, we're going to I mean yet again, we're going
to talk about this business of schools and the number
of kids who are leaving.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:00):
Having had five kids go through school, you know, and
having I think, to be fair, as any parent would
with kids, a pretty reasonable understanding of how the education
system works. There's no question that what happened post COVID.
Ask any teacher the kids who got locked up at
home for an extended period of time, lost the ability somehow,
some way to behave themselves, to interact properly, to take
(33:23):
school seriously, socialized, to sit exams, to pass exams. You know,
you've got a quarter of kids now leaving without level
three or university entrants, and so what do.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You do about that? You know, and once they leave,
they're gone. They lost generation exact exactly anyway. But on
school attendance, we used to have to go every day.
There was it ain't like it used to be, right,
unlike our day. It's coming up to three away from six.
News Talk said be have a great day.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
The issues, the interviews and the inside Ryan Bridge New
for twenty twenty four on the early edition with Smith City,
New Zealand's furniture vans and a play a store.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Talks, it'd be.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Good morning, welcome to the start of your week. Is
just gone six after five on News Talks, there'd be
our lead interview just before six this morning. Are gangs
running drugs through regional airports? And if they are, is
that really a problem? Cop twenty nine a big cop
out according to some. The UK's trial and giving cash
directly to homeless people to get them off the streets?
(00:36):
Is that going to work? We lived to London Andrew
here was sport plus your kids and vaping? Is it
getting worse or not? Conflicting numbers this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The agenda.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
It is Monday, the twenty fifth of November. Many are
calling the climate change conference in Azerbaijan a cop out.
So the poor countries, as I told you last week,
they wanted one point three trillion dollars one point three
trillion dollars to cope with the impacts of climate change.
How much did they get? Three hundred billion?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
This document is nothing more than an optical illusion.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
This in our opinion will not address.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
The enormity of the challenge.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We all fess.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, a lot of people didn't like it. A lot
of poorer countries didn't like it, and then a lot
of rich countries didn't like it either. Hundreds of volunteers
have helped to refloat around forty pilot whales. This is
a mass stranding in Rocaka Beach north of Auckland. Project
Jonah says there is a risk that whales might become
restranded in the coming days. Three adults and one calf
(01:50):
died in the stranding. It's very sad and I hate
seeing this happen. But can we please stop calling them
pilot whales because they're clearly not really good. The body
of a missing in the United Arab Emirates has been
found in what Israel has called a criminal anti Semitic
terrorist incident. It's understood he was abducted last week.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
The suspicion here is that he was abducted, taken away,
possibly driven across the border into Immand. But the suspects
are three Uzbek nationals, according to the Israeli media, who
are reported to have fled to Turkey.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The Helen Clark Foundation this morning has a new report
out you'll be delighted to know. It's calling for a
sugary drinks levy to help curb our obesity rates. Says
obesity is a complex problem, one of those ones. But anyway,
I'll get to the details of that in just a second.
It is eight after.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Five Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early
edition with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a
playing store news dog.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Zidby nine two ninety two is the number to text,
would love to hear from you this morning. The front
page of the Herald is caught on camera. This is
the police officer who's wearing a I don't even know
what the gang is, but wearing a gang patch in
the office. They've obviously confiscated it now. This is before
the band came and took effect. So this is from
(03:13):
a few months ago, but the photo was only just
surfacing now, which is less than ideal for the police.
Do you care. I don't care. I mean I would
expect if I was a police officer and I spent
all day and all night going after I don't know
drug cartels or gangs, and then I finally get, you know,
a bit of a booty. I would probably take photos
(03:36):
with all the cash and the guns, you know. I mean,
you wouldn't put it on the internet. And I don't
know who put this on the internet, but it was
stupid of them. But is that really a big deal?
Is that more of a storm? And a teacup nineteen
nine two the number to text now. Some of the
feedback from police on the gang patch itself has been
quite entertaining, so that along with two arrests in the
(03:57):
Eastern district over the weekend for people wearing their gang patches,
there was a twenty year old man apparently arrested in
Napier late on Saturday night for two bail breaches, but
also for wearing a bandanna, a mangralmov Bang bandana which
was tied to his steering wheel, and so he was
(04:17):
able to be done for that anyway. There are a
few false alarms and the police have let us know that.
In Tuaco, a member of the public called police at
nine forty five am yesterday reporting a large number of
motorcycles and cars traveling in convoy, which the caller believed
were gang related due to their matching clothing. A call
(04:38):
of further reported the group were blocking traffic and traveling
on the wrong side of the road. Police attended and
located the group on River Road. The group was spoken to.
They advised police they were shooting a video for a
clothing brand, so they weren't gang memt Well, I mean
they might have been gang members and maybe this is
part of their new drive. You know, I can't wear
the patch or sell T shirts. In Madamarua, a motorcycle
(05:00):
local writer was pulled over by police and State Highway
two at four forty pm yesterday. The man in his
fifties was wearing a Tribal National Motorcycle Club patch. Tribal
National Motorcycle Club patch. Our officers inquired into the club
and it was confirmed that they were not a gang.
So there you go. Few false alarms, but they had
(05:21):
made a few rests over the weekend. So there you go.
Eleven minutes after five Bridge Bridge. So I'll let you
know what is in Helen Clark's Foundation report out this
morning on obesity. None of it will really surprise you.
But also over in the UK they're giving cash to
the homeless. I'll tell you that story too, will Sue,
(05:43):
I will be your as nasky longer.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The first word on the News of the Day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's furniture
beds at a playing store.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
You talk said, by the way, that's the Azerbaijean Conference
on Climate Change COP twenty nine that everybody says has
been a bit of a let down. There's a new
conference starting next week about plastics and rubbish in the ocean.
I'll tell you more about that in a second. It
has just gone fourteen after five year on news talks at.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Been Ryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
New data this morning from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation
has found that youth vaping rates have dropped more than
fifty percent over the past three years. It's a survey
shows that just twelve percent of nine to thirteen students
had VAPD in the last seven days when the survey
was done. It was down from twenty seven percent in
(06:40):
twenty twenty one. Lea Tisha Harding is the Asthma and
Respiratory Foundation New Zealand chief executive. She's with me this morning.
Good morning, Good morning, Ryan, thank you for being here.
Now is this fly in the face of other stats
we've just had recently about youth vaping.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
No, Actually, if you look at the New Zeland Health
survey that was put out last week, it's a similar story.
We've found that that younger group has actually declined in vaping,
but the older group is actually the one which has increased.
So it is actually in line with what the New
Zealand Health Survey was showing as well.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So you think that your theory is that the younger
people who are not vaping as much as the older ones,
that's new regulations that's changed that.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Yeah, definitely, we think it's the regulations and also the
education around the harms of vaping and the awareness out there.
I think that's had a big impact. But as I said,
although overall we've seen a reduction compared to when we
ran our twenty twenty one survey, so we reported vaping
of twelve point two percent back then, now compared to
(07:49):
twenty six percent in the year thirteen. That's dramatically increased
to twenty six percent having vaped in the last seven days,
whereas it was only twelve percent and twenty twenty one.
So this sort of stands to reason if we look
at our year ten eleven, twelve thirteen, that was actually
reducing back in twenty twenty one, but it's increased in
(08:11):
this survey.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Right. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Yeah, I think it's because if we look at when
regulations came and even the R eighteen, the restriction of
buying nictine containing vapes, that wasn't until November of twenty twenty,
and of course we ran the first survey in August
of twenty twenty one. So you've got this group that
had very little regulations around taking up vaping and some
of very very high nicotine doses as well, because of
(08:37):
course back then the nicotine containing vapes had up to
fifty fifty three milligrams of nicotine in them. So you've
got this group that has probably become quite addicted to
these nicotine vates and that's carried on through.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Half of those that were surveyed said that vaping was
harming their health. Does that mean the other half thing?
It's fine?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
When we run the survey, we get obviously a lot
of anecdotal evidence from how people feel about their vaping,
and that certainly came through that it was impacting their house,
especially these older students. They talk about things like how
it affects their sports. They're finding they're out of breath
when they've been vaping, and of course some of them
(09:21):
are actually waiting in the middle of the night to
vape as well, which is of huge concern.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's not good. So what do you want to do
about it? One of the things is to increase the
age to twenty one.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah, there's several recommendations and slowly, I guess, I think
with New Zealand we have slowly done this piecemeal approach
to regulations over the years, but unfortunately it has been
just that it's coming in with reducing them a teen
content which has been pushing for to be in line
with the EU at twenty milligrams, and that's across the
disposable vapes and of coursely syllable vapes. Increasing the age,
(09:57):
but also the advertising being able to see the products
from the front store window or going into general retailers
and seeing these products. That hope is going to change
next year with the new amendment till to the Smoke
Free and we Get Products Bill, and obviously we've submitted
into that and we're hoping to see that actually come
to puistion next year because that advertising would have a
(10:17):
big impact.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah. Absolutely, all right, attention, thank you very much for
your time this morning. Lautensha Harding Esthma and Rich Respiratory Foundation,
New Zealand chief executive with new numbers out this morning
on vaping, twenty six percent of kids of older teenagers vaping.
That's not great, is it. I think there's more teenagers
vaping today than ever smoked, which I suppose it's what
(10:42):
they tell us. It's a bit healthier than smoking, so
I guess that might make sense. And it's not as
much older and you know, you don't smell when you
kiss each other, et cetera. But it's not great? Is it?
Just gone? Nineteen minutes after five news Talks ever.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Get ahead of the headlines? Ryan Bridge, you for twenty
twenty four on early edition with Smith City, New Zealand's
furniture beds and a playing store on News Talks, say'd.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Be at twenty one after five year O news talk
Sai'd be great to have your company this Monday morning.
Andrew Alison is here was sport good morning Greeting's Ryan,
so good news for was shtup and not so much
for Liam Lawson.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Yeah, so the trip to Sin City with the Formula
One drivers as a resulted in Lawson was sixteenth place,
So not in the points this time. Probably understandable that
he's going to just have to work his way in
here even though he's only got these limited number of
races to work with to establish himself on the circuit.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
But really the story.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Probably max with Stapan of the day four consecutive Formula
One drivers championships, joins an A League Group one, Manuel Fangio,
Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Sir Lewis Hamilton. It's a
fairly alite.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Crowd, prestigious. Agree, That's that's right, That's right. I got
up to watch the Well, I didn't get up that early,
did I because it was like nineteen am, but myself
out of being the mid morning oil. Yeah yeah yeah,
patch yea was not convincing.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Yeah, it's probably more the off field stuff than anything.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Is that.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
With tj PA introducing the white hanging into the Haka,
which has gone well, I think I think there's some
controversy around there, and I mean, to me, the Harker
is meant to be a challenge to the opposition. I'm
not quite sure.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Maybe t J.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
Pedar could explain it better, but yeah, and it's attempted
to but I'm not sure how that comes into challenging
the opposition but bringing in the supposed unity at home,
et cetera that he has mentioned. So yeah, it's it's
politicizing the situation. But then politics are always in sport
in one way, shape or form, aren't they. So it's yeah,
(12:56):
it's it's a tricky one.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
The Black Foils the sales GP and yes.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
A tremendous start from there. So winning off the coast
Dubai that's the opening series of the season for them.
And now they'll take their their talents and their skills
and their technology to New Zealand to Auckland for the
first time January eighteen and nineteen, which will be quite
the extravaganza in the White Mazar Harbor.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I'm lucky to thought of that.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that should be good fun. So yeah,
leading the championship and defending their title.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
There, brilliant Andrew, thank you very much for that. Thanks
all right, So here's always Andrew Willison was zi BI Sport.
It is twenty three minutes after five you're on news Talks,
there'd be still to come. We're going to our UK
Europe correspondent, Kay Oliver. There is a push to do
the end of life bill like the one we did here,
giving those terminally ill adults the chance to know, basically
(13:50):
say goodbye a little early. Lots of pushback on that though,
and Kay will explain that to us. That's coming up
after the news at five point thirty.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
The early edition full show podcast on i AM Radio.
How It By News Talks have been.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Your news Talks be twenty six minutes after five. Remember
the excitement, the pride at being first, the proclamations of
cleaning up our world and making it better for tomorrow.
I'm talking about the single plastic use bag band on
twenty eighteen. Remember that. A few salient points to note
this morning, six years on from when it was announced.
(14:26):
There's a report out this morning on plastics. The use
of plastic is expected to treble globally by twenty sixty,
most of it in Africa and Asia. Plastic waste will
also treble by twenty sixty. Half of it will end
up in the landfill. Less than a fifth of it
(14:46):
will be recycled, so well done. You know our pack
and save efforts, we're really doing well for the world.
Who's profiting from this? That's the other thing I wonder.
I don't know how much supermarkets make every time I
forget my reusable plastic bags and I have to buy
the paper ones. But the price of the paper one
the other day that I paid was forty cents, and
(15:08):
I can remember when they first started telling them, it
was like ten or twenty cents, So there's been a
bit of inflation going on since then. And now they've
got Christmas trees printed on them. How much extra is
that costing. I don't want a Christmas tree on my
paper bag, thank you very much. I want the paper
bag not to break just because I put some wet
(15:29):
milk in it, so annoying. In Australia, coson Wall was
apparently profit. This was after they changed their rules, profits
seventy one million dollars a year off their reusable bags.
Now I don't know what the number is here. I
have no idea, but I would have thought we'd be
(15:52):
asking ourselves a few questions. Do I want us going
back to plastic bags? No, I don't necessarily want us
going back to plastic bags, but could we please know
a couple of things. Where are our bags actually ending
up in the ocean in the first place or was
that other people's bags? You know, were you throwing your
plastic bag in the ocean when you went and checked
(16:13):
the beach? Were the bags from Countdown New Zealand? I
don't know? And how much are the supermarkets making out
of us for the bags that break before we get
them to the boot of our cars. Just a couple
of things I'd like to know. Twenty eight minutes after
five year on news Talk said be Bryan Bridge, lots
(16:33):
of feedback coming in about TJ. Petanara as well, and
I wonder what people think of that personally. I guess
the counterfacture would be if somebody came out and said,
you know, a captain after an All Blacks game came
out and said, yeah, well it's a great game, but
first of all, I'd like to declare my allegiance to democracy,
(16:56):
you know, or make some kind of political statement like that.
Would we That was okay? I don't know. It was
his prerogative apparently because he was leading the hackers, so
he can he can make the points he wants to
make twenty nine after five, you're on news Talk ZIDB.
This morning, we're over to the UK afternoons.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture bids and
applying store news Talk said bad one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
In New Zealand. Twenty four minutes away from six, Y're
on news Talk ZB. We're going to the UK and
Europe with our correspondent in just a few moments. Also,
we're going to the Airports Association. Apparently gangs are running
drugs through regional airports, thereby skipping the scanners and the
X ray machines, et cetera. Does it actually matter whether
they're running their drugs on a domestic flight or on
(18:24):
a bus or in a car. We'll speak to the
Airlines Association about that shortly. Lots of your feedback on
TJ Pedanada. As you can understand, Ryan, I am fuming
that Pedanada brought politics into the All blacks Hacker says
this listener. Sports is sports, politics is politics. Let's keep
it that way. Sport is the only place you can
(18:45):
go to get away from politics, and I resent its
creep back into sport. Yeah, I suppose. My question is
because I don't really care how don't have a problem
with what happened, But would it be okay someone to
come out and pledge allegiance to capitalism and the free market,
(19:05):
you know, and the economy and democracy, you know, before
or after a match? And if that was okay, then
fill your boots. I mean, it's all for one, one
for all, isn't it. Twenty two away from six News
Talk set b Cranbridge. We're going to our reporters around
the country for dnina's news this morning. Blake, Bennie Blake,
Good morning, Good morning. Hearing's set to begin for this
(19:28):
plan to bring MACS to Wonica.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
Tweenstown Lake District Council has been reviewing a resource consent
application for the twenty four hour restaurant to open next
to the new Mount Iron Roundabout. More than ninety percent
of submissions are against an opening, with just twenty one
people supporting the idea. Now, of course, this is after
a petition attracted six thousand signatures claiming the fast food
giant doesn't belong in Monica. Around one hundred submitters are
(19:54):
planning to speak at the four day hearing starting today.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I reckon that's a bit snobby. I wouldn't mind a
bit of macis visiting Wyka personally. How's the weather Internedin.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Cloudy periods, light winds, northeast slies for a time in
the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Hive of nineteen brilliant. Thanks Blake high Clear and christ
Church good morning, Hello, good morning. Tell us about the
netball community and the use of Hagley Park.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, so those who know netball will know that Hagley
Park is the home of the majority of the netball
courts down here. The Netball Center now is wanting to
extend the lease from the city Council that's due to
end in April twenty twenty six. It's purpose built indoor
facility with ten courts, opened a year ago and is
used for multiple sports. The center is now busy surveying
(20:37):
the community, the netball community, specifically so it can collect
evidence to present to council. Board chair Warren Poe says
the Hagley courts are cost efficient and used by a
large number of players. He says they're focused on demonstrating
there is strong demand to keep them there, which can
be built on in the future.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
There you go. How's your weather, Claire fine for christ.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Church, Light winds with northeast of east. Later today the
high will be twenty three brilliant.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Thank you, mix is and willing to mix. Good morning
to you. This stolen parrot we spoke about on Friday,
it's been found.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Yeah, you wouldn't. You wouldn't read about it. Quite a
wonderful end to what was looking like quite a sad story.
This sixty year old visitor favorite Stagland's cockatoo pepper, which
was stolen from the wildlife reserve last week. It was
sold on the black market or something. I presumed the
new owners realized what they'd bought, alerted police and the
(21:29):
talking parodi is heading back to Stagland's. Far be it
from us to take something of a victory lap. But
we gave quite good coverage to the theft last week.
We were first to report, published an item in the Herald,
and police say media coverage directly led to the break
in the case. Stagland's very delighted. I'm sure the bird
itself happy too. No word on the thief or thieves
(21:50):
themselves yet police in no comment there, but a happy ending.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Nonetheless, goodness, we would be without U Mex. Do you
know how much it's sold for?
Speaker 12 (22:01):
I believe it was in it crept into the four figures.
I'm not sure if the good Samaritans who handed it
in will get that money back, but not cheap.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
All right, how's your weather? Fine? Fresh northerlies.
Speaker 12 (22:14):
I think getting up to nineteenth central.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
All nice? Thanks Max and Nevers and Auckland. Good morning,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Well I can confirm that that went up for like
for pipper pepper one five hundred. Oh really, yes, so
that's what the person bought the parrot pepper for and
then and good on that person for actually you know, saying,
oh my gosh, this is the stolen parrot and so
oh the cockatoo cocker cocker too.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yeah, it's terrible. I know it steals a cockatoo from
a you know, wild last sanctuary. What's happening with the
Mona Mannui?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Okay, so we know that the self is the leaving Auckland.
They're heading for some well that's happening this week to
remove the almost one thousand tons of fuel and the
sunken Mona w Nui. That's that navy dive and hydrographic
vessel now that's now been underwater more than a month.
This happened after hitting a reef during a survey mission
off the coast of the island of a pool. So
a tug boat will begin the ten day voyage towing
(23:08):
a barge laden with tons of salvage and diving equipment.
Ten days it will take to get to some more again,
all were that done? Hopefully that will be done or
will probably be there to after Christmas?
Speaker 3 (23:18):

New Zealand business.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Okay, Oliver as our UK europe correspondent, k great to
have you on the program. Tell us about the end
of life bill some quite heavy hitting opposition to it.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Well, absolutely, Ryan, Yes, and it is going to have
a vote in Parliament this Friday. It's called the Terminally
Ill Adults end of Life Bill that's been proposed by
the Labor MP Kim Leadbetter and basically it would give
those with less than six months to live the right
to die. Now the opposition is mounting and we have
(25:48):
had the Health Secretary West streeting and now the Justice
Secretary Shabanama Mood saying that they are going to vote
against this bill. Ms Mahmood has put out a letter
to her constituents today saying that no government should be
able to offer death on demand, and that she also
(26:09):
worries about placing so great a destructive power in the
hands of the state. She cites sadly recent scandals have
reminded us that the state and those acting on its
behalf are not always benign. So it gives you some
flavor of the opposition that's coming through on this Ryan.
(26:31):
We wait to see what happens on Friday, but it
would seem that in a poll that's been carried out today,
two thirds of the population here are in favor of
this bill.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, it sounds like it might get thrown despite that
opposition from the you know, even the health sictu as
you mentioned. So this Bert, the storm Bert that's coming
well already started to come in already, some lives lost.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Well, absolutely, it's ra around as I'm speaking. I live
close to London. But there's a danger to life warning.
We've had three people already been killed. A motorist has
had a tree smash onto the car. We've got a
dog walker killed, et cetera. We've got seventy flood warnings
across South Wales where they've declared a major incident in
(27:20):
the Rohonda region. We've got thirty one thousand homes in
Northern Ireland without power. We've got rivers rising, people's sandbagging
all over, and lots of people, particularly in Yorkshire, saying
that the local authorities haven't been taking any notice of
warnings that basically their homes are liable to flood though.
(27:43):
You've got a siren screaming out that was used in
World War two to warn people that they're in danger.
So also in London they've canceled. There's a big Winter
Wonderland celebration in Hbark that's been scrapped today, along with
nine other major parks that have been closed as this
what's called a triple weather alert involving snow, rain and
(28:06):
gale force winds. Carry on battering this country.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Goodness mate, all right, well take care there. Kk Oliver,
our UK europe correspondent, just going to living away from
six Bridge. Gang members are apparently using regional flights to
traffic drugs around the country, making the most of the
lower levels of security at our regional airports. Currently, the
security settings mean that flights with fewer than ninety seats
(28:31):
or less than ninety seats on board are unlikely to
go through security screening. Now the government says they're not
going to do much about this. It's a problem for
the police. Billy Mooresdeen, he's done on Airport's Association chief
executive and is with us this morning. Good morning, Billy, Ryan,
thank you for being with me. Is this a big problem?
For you guys.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
Look at there's a concern that is regularly discussed among
the airport's airlines in the Civil Aviation Authority, something we're
aware of consumed. But it's important for us to focus
on the fact that the purpose of passenger and bakers
screening is aviation security, and so that means I'm more
for interference with aircraft. These issues are about other illegal
(29:14):
activities and are a meta for the police rather than
aviation security. So while we talk about this in the
context of security at airports, it's operation in. Some of
their issues are that we can take though.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
You're really just more worried about someone bringing a plane down,
aren't you, I mean, rather than exactly yeah, because I
mean does it actually matter. I mean, obviously it's not
ideal for you, but if the drugs are going to go,
they could go on an intercity bus, they could go
on the back of a car, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
Yeah, you're right about that. Look, there are concerns around
this in terms of the overall security environment at airports
when things like this are going on. Obviously it's a
concern for us because it makes the security environment more tense,
more and more difficult. Terms the people around and the
things that airports are being used for. But there are
(30:09):
steps we can take. For instance, we think that a
stronger and more consistent police presence at airports is a
really good step forward, and we're trying to engage authority
and others on how that could happen. So that's something
that we know both airports and airlines would like to see.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Would you like to see permanent police officers at all
regional airports?
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Not necessarily going that far, but really strong relationships is
important so that the police in that area have a
great engagement with airport staff, with airline staff, so that
that information flow is going so that they're familiar with,
for instance, the airside environment as well. So there's still
some steps we can take there that would help this
(30:52):
kind of situation.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
All right, Billy, thank you very much for that this morning,
Billy More of the New Zealand Airports Association Chief Executive.
You're on News Talks there, b It is a toy.
Speaker 2 (31:01):

News Talks a B six Away from six on News Talks,
D be very quickly. I told you, I'll tell you
about the Hall and Clark Foundation. They've got a report
out this morning on obesity. Surprise, surprise. We a third
of us are living with obesity or a third of
us robs it should say, are overweight. That is the
third highest rate in the OECD. It cost US nine
(31:30):
billion dollars a year in lost productivity. Their solution one
is basically a sugar tax, two is better education and
stopping the sale of sugary drinks and hospitals, et cetera.
And the third one is basically load us up with ozempic.
It's five to six News Talks at.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
B Bryan Bridge.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Mike is up next. Good morning, Mike, good morning. Good
to see you and you. This is some pilot weil stranding.
You know where we have these from time to time.
Why do they call them pilot wales because they're clearing
not really good, you know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (32:05):
Have you ever responded?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 13 (32:07):
I haven't, but I've never been you have been tempted? Okay,
so you're on holiday, you're in the able testment.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Right, I'd go down. Would you have how long for? Well,
until they've refloated.
Speaker 13 (32:17):
So, okay, so you've got sixty seven whales, the call's
gone out, you're on the able test.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Four days later.
Speaker 13 (32:22):
Four days later, you're waiting and you've got hypothermia.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Apparently you haven't been fed properly. You're fainting. Apparently. Apparently
they follow one sick whale that's navigating and they get
disorientated and then they all end up stranded. I mean,
so what happens?
Speaker 13 (32:37):
Would you go a second time? Because that happens? So
what happens is you go to float them out and
then they come back in on the tide?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Do you go?
Speaker 13 (32:45):
How long do you stay there?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I love the suicidal, aren't they?
Speaker 13 (32:47):
There's an element to it.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
But right, what's on the show today?
Speaker 13 (32:52):
Oh, we're going to I mean yet again, we're going
to talk about this business of schools and the number
of kids who are leaving.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:00):
Having had five kids go through school, you know, and
having I think, to be fair, as any parent would
with kids, a pretty reasonable understanding of how the education
system works. There's no question that what happened post COVID.
Ask any teacher the kids who got locked up at
home for an extended period of time, lost the ability somehow,
some way to behave themselves, to interact properly, to take
(33:23):
school seriously, socialized, to sit exams, to pass exams. You know,
you've got a quarter of kids now leaving without level
three or university entrants, and so what do.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You do about that? You know, and once they leave,
they're gone. They lost generation exact exactly anyway. But on
school attendance, we used to have to go every day.
There was it ain't like it used to be, right,
unlike our day. It's coming up to three away from six.
News Talk said be have a great day.
