That'd be John A. Good morning, welcome along to early edition.
I'm Roman Travis in for Ryan Bridge on this twenty
seventh day of January, Auckland Anniversary Day. Happy anniversary baby,
if that's what it is for you. At about ten
to six this morning, I'll be joined by the Northland MP,
Grant McCallum, to talk about this mung of fied Tornado.
Absolutely horrendous for the people in that part of the world.

international correspondent this morning is Gayl Downey with news out
of Europe and the UK will have our reporter rap
as always. At about twenty past five, Elliot Smith joins
us for a rap of the weekend sport and in
just a few moments I'll be speaking the Treaty Principles
Bill with someone with a key stake in Lady tur
at Et Moxham, the managing director of te Corha Health,
(00:56):
will join us and talk about what's ahead of her today,
and of course I welcome your feedback. My email is
Roman at Newstalks THEREB dot CO, dot NZ and the
text here is nine two nine two seven past five.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
South Korea's and peach president have been charged with insurrection
following his short lived declaration of martial law late last year.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Criminal charges that could put him to death or jail
for life if convicted, now separate from criminal judicial proceedings.
The Constitutional Court is now deliberating whether to formally dismiss
you and as president or to reinstate him.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Lebanese authorities say Israeli forces have killed fifteen people in
the country south as this deadline for there withdrawal passes.
A US broken ceasefire was agreed to last year, halting
fighting between Israel and Hezbola. Israel says it will keep
troops in Lebanon beyond the ceasefire, adding they fired warning
shots to remove threats in a number of areas. A
(01:57):
nineteen year old has died in Scotland after a tree
on his car during storm Aowin. Scotland's first Prime minister
says people have heeded travel warnings.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
The road traffic estimates in the central belt of Scotland
today and the trunk road network are essentially about eighty
percent lower than they would be on an average Friday.
So by making giving the announcements that we gave, by
indicating that it was unsafe to travel, the police advised
people not to travel by closing schools, which significantly reduced
(02:28):
the risks to members of the public.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Two people have died in the storm. The CIA says
it believes COVID is more likely to have been leaked
from a lab in China than to have originated naturally,
and then counter that assessment by saying it has low
confidence in it. Okay. The decision to release the assessment
is one of the first may by Trump's appointed CIA
director John Ratcliffe.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Fromman Travers
and One Room Make Your Property Research Simple News Dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That'd be nine past five. Look, I know this is
going to sound like I'm having a crack at the
Wellington City Council again, and that's because I am. Wellington
City Council have adopted this national trend that you see
more and more of celebrating mediocrity. When things go tits up,
you can rest assured that there's always a public relations
machine sitting there, idling away, just waiting to be put
(03:24):
into gear flat out down the road of self gratification
with perception bending power steering. And here's an example of that.
Wellington's ongoing efforts to address water infrastructure woes have reached
a milestone, with the region's number of leaky pipes dropping
under four hundred for the first time in four years.
Wellington met Tory Farno says that the decrease in leeks
(03:46):
was a huge relief. She thinks that water infrastructure seems
like a big problem, and it is, but when you
start seeing those winds, it reminds you that actually prioritizing them,
investing in the money and getting that spent, what's the
right thing to do. Really. Tory Farno also says that
they have over three thousand kilometers of pipes to replace,
(04:07):
so it's going to take a long time. Look, I
realized that a council inherited not only a hospital pass
of problems, more like a complete health system of paths
of problems, complete with seemingly never ending issues. But to
find absolutely positively positivity in Wellington's issues is just an
entire pr machine proving to you and I that they're
(04:27):
hard at work. Let me know what your thoughts are
on that, especially if you're in Wellington struggling with your
water quality or your ability to flush the tour that
not see the contents on Courtney Place. And just a
few moments I'll be speaking with the Treaty Principles Bill.
What are the key people involved with that? Lady turt
Moxon and her thoughts as She'll be making a submission
with the oral submissions today. Ten past five. It's early
(04:49):
edition used talk sad.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
B, News and views You trust to start your day.
It's a billy edition with Roman travers and one roof.
Make your property search simple, you talk to me.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Thirteen past five. Well Oral hearings for the Treaty Principal's
Bill get underway today, marking the start of eighty hours
worth of hearings over the course of a month. The
total number of online submissions received isn't known yet as
processing continues. Author of the bill and at party leader
David Seymour will be the first to give his submission
later this morning. A total of fifty oral submissions will
(05:24):
be heard on day one. Lady turt Et Moxon is
the managing director of tair Kahul Health and we'll be
speaking at Parliament later this morning, and she joins me, now,
a very good morning to you, Very good morning to
you too. Look, thanks so much for getting up early
in joining us. What are you expecting today? How are
you expecting things to go?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Well? I think it should go pretty smoothly. I think
they've got a lot to do. But our submission is
basically we're saying what what we believe needs to happen
in terms of this bill and the fact that we
reject it, both reaching out and oppose it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So it's been a heck of a process, hasn't How
have you found the process to get to this point?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, it has been a heck of a process. And
the worst of it is there's a waste of time
simply because labor are sorry, national and and you said
these have both said that they weren't they weren't they
weren't supported beyond this process. Well, how ridiculous is that?
Why would you put us through that process? Is that
(06:29):
if you have no intention of supporting it going forward?
So you know, we're pleased about that, don't get me wrong,
But I'm sure we can be spending a lot of that,
all that money and all that time and resource aren't
better things.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, well, there's a fair point. I think you're making
a good point. So what is the point and you're
making a submission today with a bill that's going nowhere.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well, simply because we must be heard, and you'll find
that the other people behind me or for you know
that other people behind me will feel the same way.
And you know, you've got to remember too that we
had the largest protests in the country in terms of
(07:13):
the Treaty Principles Bill, and so you know, forty two
thousand people got out and spoke to their feet. So
you know, I actually think that there is it's important
to be able to see to them and all of
those yet to come in our future that we try
(07:34):
to do something.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Do you think it, Well, look, it's a fair point,
and I think a lot of people would love to
be there listening to what's going on, or maybe not.
Do you think do you think there was widely a
misinterpretation of what the Treaty Principal's Bill was wanting to achieve?
Do you think it was widely misunderstood by the majority
of people?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, I think for a lot number of people who
do not understand what truly means and has no understanding
of what history history of this country is or even
the plight of Maori in our country. I would say, very,
very categorically, it's a lot of people who have put
(08:15):
in submissions, will have submitted have a misunderstanding of what
it means.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I know you're going to be speaking very early this morning.
I think you're on at eight thirty this morning, aren't.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
You that's correct?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, Can you give us a little bit of a
taster about what you'll be saying.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Well, definitely, I'll be saying that we're we rejected and
opposed the at the and also I think that that
it should be rejected and opposed by the Select Committee.
But more over than that than not, I really think
that that you know the that this is a breach
(08:54):
of to three to your white tonguey and.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
And it will it will be a breach forever no
matter how they try to reinterpret the principles and pretty
basically take over.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
From from the court. You know, there's a difference between
the court's interpreting this, you know, the principles from the acts.
You know, government react ax and the court's interpret the
acts and the police enforce the acts. So here we are.
(09:30):
We've got a government to trying to do both.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Lady turdyt Mox and thank you so much for your
time and and all the very best this morning, and
it's an early start your submission at eight thirty this morning.
Thanks for your time. Let me you know your thoughts
on that. Have you got any great feelings about that?
The text is nine two ninety two or z b ZB.
Let's wrap up the weekend sport with Elliot Smith in
just a few moments on Early Edition News Talks thereb
eighteen past five.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Roman Travers on early edition with one roof make your
Property Search Simple, Used.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Talk zibby twenty past five. Elliot Smith, He's everywhere, He's
everywhere all over the sport. He's our news Talk Zibbie
sport expert. And man, there's been some sport this weekend.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Hasn't it. Just yeah, this is the collision all the
seasons sort of coming together, isn't it. And I suppose
you look at the Australian Open final. It was a
great time of the year. Two big finals of course
over the weekend. The Women's on Saturday night won by
Madison Keys, who's been a regular visitor actually to Auckland's
through a number of seasons, beating the world number one
net Sabalinka and a really really entertaining final two sets
(10:32):
to one last night's men's final bit more one way
traffic to be honest. Jarick Center, the world number one
beating Alexander Verev and in straight sets last night, didn't
have it all his own way, but pretty straightforward her.
For Jarnick Center, who is the world number one best
player in the hard courts at the moment, there is
the doping case sort of hanging over him, which is
(10:52):
interesting in a fascinating backdrop to his success in recent times.
The cream and the massuse and everything like that. The
Court of Arbitration for Sport here having an appeal in
a couple of months time. But regardless, he is showing
what he's capable of. And Zveriev had another crack. It's
winning a major. Probably the best player on tour at
(11:14):
the moment to have not won a Grand Slam tournament
by a Nixon last night to remain just too good.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I just had. I'm sorry, but that's a great title
for a book, The Cream and the Mississ the Story
of Oh my Lord. That's brilliant and some good news
for Auckland FC.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It was great new It's been a busy week for them,
three matches in seven days and they've emerged from that
really hectic period at the top of the A League ladder.
So this was always going to be a bit of
an acid test for them, this new club. They've fallen
away a little bit now they've come back up again
in a hectic period over the last week. Two wins
including last night ninety fifth minutes a fifth minute of
(11:50):
at a time against Western Sydney Nada and moreno one
of the import players getting the goal one nil, they win,
take the three points back. So draw and two wins
over the last moves them back to the top of
the eight league and they just seem to manage to
find a way, which is the really exciting thing about
this team. They don't know when they beats and don't
know when they're on the cusp of losing a game.
(12:10):
They risk it a point earlier in the week. So
back to the top of the ladder, which is great
news for them.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Remen Yeah, it is going from the beautiful game to
the very tall, fast game the breakers.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yeah, it's been a battling old season for the Breakers,
and you can put the calculator away remand the mathematical
hopes of their making the playoff are all but over over.
They lost last night ninety four seventy eight to Adelaide.
It's been a really poor season. They started really strongly,
had some personnel changes to their team board, and Tago Fall,
who's a two point two seven meter import, just hasn't
(12:43):
quite clicked. And with that defeat last night, out of
the playoffs and they won't be playing any for the basketball.
We've got two more games at home, but won't be
making the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They've got some huge fans though, like literally big fans,
a big following, and they make.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
That and even with the fact that they're out of
the playoffs, will still get I think decent crowds for
these last two games back at home. I think one's Friday.
One might be wi ng You Day potentially, but two
games home they'll get a really good credit sparker and
for both of those games, regardless of them being out
of the pluffs. But we chance look ahead and see
how they rebuild for their next campaign and what players
(13:16):
they bring, what players are thrown on the scrap heap,
as always happens at the end of the breaker season.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, cheers, Elliott, Thank you so much. Elliott Smith from
News Talks AIRB Sport. Well, we've had food and schools
for a while, haven't we. What's the benefit of having
food and schools? Is there enough food in schools? A
new study released this morning shows some real issues for
our students right across New Zealand and their ability to
function at school and perform academically. And I've got some
more thoughts on that in just a few minutes twenty
(13:42):
three past five. It's early edition news Talks EDB the.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
News Talks.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
AB twenty six past five. Although the school holidays are
in full swing, still that doesn't mean that the country's
children are getting the food they need at home. New
Zealand children are still going hungary at school and that
means they're going through and ending up years behind other
children in key subjects. The data that shows this ongoing
issue for us all also ranks New Zealand poorly for
(14:11):
food poverty. The health researchers behind this just published analysis
argue that government needs to double the number of children
served by its newly revamped Lunches in School scheme. It's
no surprise that hungary students struggled to learn. Food poverty
has been cited as a big barrier in New Zealand's
scoring under the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment. A
(14:32):
comparison between that and two other global data sets has
allowed a team of researchers to look at the link
in greater depth. After analyzing food and security levels after
subject specific scores, the team prevailed to start trend. Any
degree of food and security was associated with much lower
academic performance, a pattern that held across all subjects, age
(14:54):
groups and surveys. Professor Boyd Swinburn from Auckland University as
a co author of the study on referr to, and
he says he didn't expect the effect size to be
so large. In all, it equated to a learning gap
equivalent to hungry students trailing two to four years behind
in subjects like maths and reading by age fifteen, and
(15:15):
even after adjusting for socioeconomic indicators. Something else born to
the study is that there's also a grady in effect.
The more severe the food and security, the greater gap
in scores compared to kids with no food insecurity. The
problem doesn't just affect hungry children finding it harder to
concentrate in class, but other factors, including parents keeping their
(15:36):
kids home rather than facing stigma at school. It's all
very well to blame the state of New Zealand's curriculum
or the size of classrooms confronting our teachers, but when
you may well address some of the demonstrably poor outcomes
shown in the study by simply ensuring that our children
are well fed and literally well catered for at school,
what on earth are we waiting for? News talks zedby Look,
(16:00):
I welcome your feedback on anything you've heard, especially that
nine two nine and two, and my email is Roman
at Newstalk Zreb dot co dot nz. It does seem
really really odd to me that you would spend all
this time thinking is it a good idea to be
supplying food in school? There's been debates on it for
years and years and years. There's a lot of wastage,
(16:21):
they don't need it, parents should be supplying it. All
of that may be entirely true. Undoubtedly parents should be
and traditionally have been providing a cut lunch for you
to take to school. It might have been hideous. It
might have got warmer and warmer as the day got on,
like cheese and marmite sandwiches, which eventually became a version
of cheese on toast. But we're seen with the cost
(16:42):
of living that more and more families are unable to
meet those requirements. So if it's simply a case of
increasing a cheap meal for more students at school to
enhance their ability to do better, then it makes a
whole lot more sense to me. And I'm short wood
to you as well nine nine two to text and
my email is Romance and at NEWSTALKSIRB dot co dot NZ.
(17:03):
Well it's been all go, hasn't it. It's been all
go in Munga Phi and other parts of Northland. This
this tornado wreaking havoc over the weekend, absolutely destructive and
before six I'll be speaking with the mayor of that area,
Grant McCullum. He'll give us an update on what's happening
up there. Absolutely catastrophic. You've seen those pictures. Will find
(17:23):
out what's happening there and whether or not there'll be
government support or not. All that's coming up before six
o'clock this morning on Early Edition News Talks edb.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Cost Costing, the news you need this morning and the
in depth analysis Early Edition with Brahman Trappers and One
Room Make Your Property Search Simple, News Talks Ed Brest Talk.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's early addition Roman Travis and to Ryan Bridge. This
Auckland Anniversary for those that are north of tod On.
It's quite a big region actually, hope you're going to
have a lovely day. Just a reminder that in before Sex,
I'll be speaking with the Northland MP, Grant McCullum on
what's happening with those Munga Fi tornado after effects and
whether there'll be central government assistance for that. Our international
correspondent this morning in just a few moments will be
(18:37):
Gail Downey with news out of the UK and Europe
as well. Some feedback from you too. Wellington City Council
Roman didn't inherit the problems. The Mayor's knew, but the
dominant bulk of the council have been there a long
time and have been running the city down for many years.
But the pipes are pretty old too.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Look, it is an ongoing problem that several councils have
abdicated responsibility from right. Roman. Whenever I hear people argue
against the treaty principles, it's always word broad statements, but
never anything specific. Why is everyone so scared of it?
And what is it they're specifically scared of? Well, I
think it's a general lack of understanding. Isn't it running
(19:15):
with the flock as people do? Reman? If a parent
isn't feeding their child, isn't it likely that they're also
not helping them with reading and writing and maths, et cetera. Yeah,
quite possibly, Remand why do people keep having children they
can't afford to look after them? I'd also be interested
in the correlation with drug use and families in that
food security research. We'll keep that feedback coming in my
(19:38):
email Roman at Newstalkzreb dot co dot nz and the
text is nine two nine two twenty two to six
news Talk said, be heading around the country with our
reporter wrap Callum Proctor, good morning to you, Greetings, Good
morning Roman, Yeah, good morning. That was a bit Talia
but cold there this morning? Are what's this speaking of
(19:58):
being cole Calum? Can you imagine living in your car
as a student.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Well, no, but that could be a reality for many
here this year. It's the cost of living is a
big issue for students and it's only getting more expensive
for them here. Trade me figures show our region's rents
increased by eleven point six percent in the past year.
South Than's is up nearly seven percent. The students' associations
told us that data is not surprising given the issues
(20:25):
they are hearing about students trying to find affordable accommodation
this year. They say, twenty twenty five is already shaping
up to be more difficult than others for those flat hunting.
And it's scary to hear from students moving here that
they'll be living out of their cars and unable to
afford food.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, that's absolutely horrendous, isn't it. What's speaking of the
weather and how cold it might be. What's the weather
going to do today?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Callum not great, few showers clear later today fresh, soole
westerly and sixteen.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Good on you, Cadum, Thank you so much, Callum Proctor
and Dunedin. Let's head to christ Church with Claire Sherwood.
Morning clear, good news for white bait.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Well, good news. Who's part concerned for white baiting behavior,
so there's concerns here about people fishing outside of the
restricted white baiting season. The Department of Conservation, which manages
the white bait fisheries here, have had one hundred and
sixty eight reports of possible regulation breaches from the end
of the season in August until the end of November.
They've taken fourteen enforcement actions so far. There's more still
(21:22):
to come. Some locals white baits themselves, are concerned that
fishing beyond the season could impact upon their catch numbers
next year. Basically, but nee was Mike Hickford says, unlike
other marine at fisheries, there's no way to tell why
a white bait season could be poor. He says having
fishery catch data coming in would be a huge step
forward in helping us to understand if populations define or
(21:45):
are in fact in decline.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
No you good stuff? Is it a good day to
go fishing? In christ Church?
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Miserable here to be honest.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Shao is very heavy this morning and will clear to
find this afternoon as strong southwesterlyes easing a high of
eighteen clear sherwood.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you in christ Church. Let's go to Wellington, God's
chosen city, mechs toll. You've lost the warehouse, the warehouse
where everyone gets it. Well, it's broken, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Yeah, no bargain for people going to Tory Street anymore.
Quite an interesting story. Actually, we were first to report
last week that the warehouse was having to close. This
is the Central City branch, not of their own volition,
but because the landlord had decided not to renew the lease.
And we learn now that that's because my ten has
been given it and will open at the same site
(22:28):
toward the end of the year. We spoke to the
warehouse's national store operations manager last week. He told us
they're all gutted. They've operated there for thirty years. They
had to close for more than a year after a
devastating fire there. They had only just reopened mid last year.
But that's it. Apparently the landlord is not budging. Might
attend must be offering far more money, or there's something
(22:50):
we're not.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yet aware of. Yeah, is it a good day to
go shopping in Wellington?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
No, shower's pretty strong Southerleies as well, which, to be honest,
quite welcome after the hot, humid days we've had at
seventeen the high central.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Oh, you don't talk about humidity with me. Last night
was like sleeping in a fish tank underwater, a tropical one.
It was very what neither a timer? You're looking fresh
and well how many times have I told you?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Every time?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
You say this every summer? Oh my, turn your air
corn on. It's been broken for flopping three.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Years, seven seven years? Actually, my goodness sake. Well we've
got to go through a reford. There's no point in
fixing it. They say, if you're not going to run,
would you do you kick the windows open and run
around naked most of.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
The time, just trying to make it out of my head,
out of my head.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Put your hands up high so you don't get sweaty.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Armputs Happy Aukland Anniversary day. And here we are on
a public holiday.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What's happening with the weather around the Auckland and Northern region.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Well, are you talking about the weather or do I
go into the weather.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Or is it just not the weather? No, just the
story about the weather. Trying to be subtle.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Oh, you're trying to be subtle and you're trying to
be a well rounded broadcast excent. Well, do you know today,
two years to the day since the Orklanden, those three floods. Gosh,
it's just gone by so fast. But there's a hope
now that a greener future for Auckland can come out
of these severe weather events. Ages say their Roman I
mean Lyle Carter. Now he's the chair of the advocacy
group West Auckland is Flooding. He says, Look, it's reevaluating
(24:15):
what its role is going to be, you know, as
time goes on. It's been two years, he said, of course,
you know when it happened, they were advocating for people
suffering from the floods. But now this next steap will
be advocating for managed to retreat. He says that that's
going to be you know, it will include creating community
so that people can live with nature instead of against it,
and you know, coming up with some ideas all of that,
(24:36):
so which could take some time, isn't But I mean
Munga fire yesterday, that tornado and those photos.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
That's crazy crazy, It's like you know, Central USA kind
of madness, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
And what they were saying to a miracle that there
were no debts incredible.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What's happening today?
Speaker 11 (24:53):
With the weather isolated, chowers clearing to find late morning.
If you're out there at Auckland, you know, going down
to the waterfront, that small one off, it's all taking
off today.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
You're going there, I'll be sleeping probably, Oh.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, sleeping sweetie and everything.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No you can't.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Oh I have twety three for the rest of the
Auckland as they can enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Love lovely never aity man, who thank you so much.
International correspondent Gail Downey with news out of Europe and
the UK joining us very shortly and just before Sex.
Grant McCallum, the MP for Northland, talking about what's happened
in Maunga pi as nevl was talking about absolutely terrible
seventeen to Sex. It's early edition.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
US talks there b International correspondence with ins and Eye insurance,
Peace of mind for New Zealand business the.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Thing to six and Gail Downey is our Europe and
UK correspondent. Morning to you go. Real problems here with
the big cleanup two after the big storms across the UK.
Speaker 12 (25:45):
Yes, it's actually we now have a second storm on
its way which has begun to affect south west of England.
So places like Devon and Cornwall, so the cleanup operation
continues in Northern Ireland, Whales and parts of Western England
and of course the Irish Republic as well, which are
the worst affected. And two people died in separate incidents
(26:08):
when their cars were hit by falling trees. In Northern Ireland,
seventy five thousand people are still without power and the
energy companies are saying it could take up to ten
days to complete repairs needed. As I say, this isn't
the end of the bad weather. The new storm now
is called Hermonia and that's also leaving thousands of homes
without power today at Palmas, the Coastguard is saying to
(26:33):
people please please stay away from the coast because of
the crashing waves. Conditions out at Seat are described as
really really bad.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, that just sounds absolutely horrendous. The whole world's changing
with the weather systems. I really feel for you people there.
But there's some good news possibly with Heathrow Airport possibly
getting a third runway.
Speaker 13 (26:55):
Well.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
This has come out of an interview done by the
Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
This week.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
The government is expected to make an announcement as part
of plans to boost the UK economy and part of
that announcement it looks like it could be talk of
a third runway at Heathrow. So the government's already approved
the expansion of London City Airport and also Stanstead Airport,
stan said, which is more popular for holiday flights. And
(27:21):
now she's announced Rachel Reaves and said they're looking at
backing the expansion of Heathrow, saying that sustainable aviation and
economic growth go hand in hand and that rather than
circling London flights can land. Of course the environmentalists are
concerned about this, and what she says is sustainable fuel
was changing the carbon emissions from flying. But not everyone's
(27:43):
going to be happy. Environmental groups, as I mentioned, residents
living near the airport, and even some Labour MPs, including
the Prime Minister when he was in opposition, have all
voiced concern In the past. London's mayor said he khn't
said he was still opposed to runway and he would
actually support a legal challenge if the government did back
(28:04):
proposals for the third runway.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
See I've always thought he throw ahead more than two runways. Anyway,
it's one of the biggest airports I've ever been to.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
It's absolutely huge, isn't it. And it's something like a
plane lands every three minutes, lands or takes off every
three minutes. It is constantly busy. And that's the thing
that local residents, people living near the airport really really
don't want any more any more runways.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, that's always the case, isn't it. Gale, not in
my backyard. No prisons, no shopping malls, no airports, no anything. Really,
just leave me alone to my piece and quite all
the very bas scale. Thank you so much. With all
those storms you're confronted with over there, I really feel
for all of the people of the UK that it
may well be listening on iHeartRadio. Gail Downey, Europe and
UK correspondent eleven to six News Talks it'd be well.
(28:55):
Speaking of storms, the cleanup will continue this morning in Munga,
FI after a tour ripped through the beachside north in town.
Around fifty buildings received damage and two people were taken
to hospital with serious injuries, one of them thrown out
of her second story house while sleeping. Yikes. Northern Power
see some areas will be without power for much of
(29:16):
the day. Grant McCallum is the MP for North and
he's been in Munga fire surveying the damage and he
joins me, Now, good Lord Grant, what on earth struck
the place?
Speaker 13 (29:26):
Yeah, good morning, Gramman.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
It was pretty devastating.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
It was.
Speaker 13 (29:29):
It's quite uncanny. You know, we will see those pictures
in America where the tornadoes go through town and you'll
be a strip with this destruction on either side. Not
pretty okay, And that was pretty much what it was like.
And it was just it was just phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
It was.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
One of the fire emergency control of the told us
the worst he's ever seved from a tornado that he's
very experienced. It's not them's history of tornadoes is not
nearly that destructive as a whole. So that's just amazing.
It's just as totally devastation. Are really feel of the
people that have had their lives turned upside down in
some cases quite literally.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Look, there'd be a lot of people just wondering what's
next and literally, who's going to help me? What is
the latest information that you've heard from from the local authorities.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Yeah, well, at the end of the day yesterday, things
have been clean up with progressing pretty well in terms
of getting with the trees from the from the roads
and getting the power power back on the there was
a numerous poles down broken. Some of the poles are
smashing the little pieces, you know, the concrete poles pieces,
(30:32):
and are North Power doing a great job of putting
it getting the power back on unfortunately, because we'll probably
all be back on by about midnight last night. But
some of the residents took to cutting the wires across
their driveway, which slowed down the progress. Not something that
recommend to treat all wires as live at all time,
please people, because there's no guarantee that they won't be
(30:53):
and we don't need that added to the challenges we've got.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No, absolutely not. You know how television always focuses on
the worst picture, go back to the worst picture. How
widespread was this? How much? How much of that damage
was isolated just a couple of very tight little areas
as opposed to a wider region.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
Yeah, it was. It was only a relveant, small area.
They said in your Leader about fifty homes affected, and
some of them there's one some of them were just
completely devastate. A handful. Yeah, it was only a very
concentrated area, two concentrated areas, and the devastation was immense
and where it did hit, you know, you couldn't believe
there's some big trees that have been there for well
(31:32):
over one hundred years. It's like flat cars crushed, you know,
and people just distraught. And one lady came up to
us as we were having a look around and said
this if a husband needed when they needed boater to
flush the toilet. And this is suppose what happens is
as like this, I said to the label, you've got
a water tank, Yes, you've got a bucket, Yes you've
got a rope. Yes, we'll chuck the bucket in the
(31:53):
tank and just clearly whereas we can think clearly because
you're coming to the outside and when you've been caught
up in a pre diffuse Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Grant McCallum north of the MP, thank you so much
for your time this morning on early edition. I hope
you get some central government support as well. Even though
it's small, it will be expensive. Ryan Bridges in for
the my Casking Breakfast still tell us what's coming up next.
It's early edition News Talks areb eight two six.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Roman Travers and One Room Make Your Property
Search Symbol News Talk.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
V five to six. Morning to you, Ryan bridges In,
he's got the my casking breakfast Staff to six Ryan.
No doubt it's going to be very busy for you.
Good morning, Yes, very busy morning.
Speaker 14 (32:35):
Of course, it's a public holiday in Auckland, but we
won't be worrying about that because the rest of the
country is getting up and going to work.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
This morning.
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I would talk about and I know you've had Grant
McCallum on the local MP, but we will talk about
the hurricane and the tornado rather than Maunga fire suspected
tornado we're calling it.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
We're also going to look.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
At Russia and whether I'm quite interested this morning and
whether the tariffs and the sanctions and all of the
actions that the West has taken over the war in Ukraine,
whether that's actually had any effect on their economy.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
We'll look at that this morning.
Speaker 14 (33:06):
Also, dairy, is it in spite of or because of
the fact that the farm gate price is going up
and the dairy trade auction is doing well, that were
the consumers are facing high costs for our milk and
our yogurt and whatnot. So we'll look at that just
after six thirty this morning. I'll tell you what, that's
a very good question about the sanctions. I interviewed El
Gillespie a long time ago and he said sanctions are
(33:27):
just as powerful as warfare?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Are they?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is that what we're seeing? Well, exactly.
Speaker 14 (33:32):
Russia's economy right now is booming. They've grown more in
the last year than America did. They've grown more than
most European countries have.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
There's a bit of a.
Speaker 14 (33:44):
Ruse going on here because it's a war economy at
the moment, essentially, so the government's pumping a lot of
money into defense. Is that artificially blowing things up?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
But they're not exactly collapsing. Are they flip the desk?
Speaker 7 (33:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
What the heck? This is madness More with Ryan Bridge

seventh day of January, Auckland Anniversary Day. Happy anniversary baby,

Absolutely horrendous for the people in that part of the world.

Bill with someone with a key stake in Lady tur

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
South Korea's and peach president have been charged with insurrection
following his short lived declaration of martial law late last year.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Criminal charges that could put him to death or jail
for life if convicted, now separate from criminal judicial proceedings.
The Constitutional Court is now deliberating whether to formally dismiss
you and as president or to reinstate him.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Lebanese authorities say Israeli forces have killed fifteen people in
the country south as this deadline for there withdrawal passes.
A US broken ceasefire was agreed to last year, halting
fighting between Israel and Hezbola. Israel says it will keep
troops in Lebanon beyond the ceasefire, adding they fired warning
shots to remove threats in a number of areas. A
(01:57):
nineteen year old has died in Scotland after a tree
on his car during storm Aowin. Scotland's first Prime minister
says people have heeded travel warnings.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
The road traffic estimates in the central belt of Scotland
today and the trunk road network are essentially about eighty
percent lower than they would be on an average Friday.
So by making giving the announcements that we gave, by
indicating that it was unsafe to travel, the police advised
people not to travel by closing schools, which significantly reduced
(02:28):
the risks to members of the public.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Two people have died in the storm. The CIA says
it believes COVID is more likely to have been leaked
from a lab in China than to have originated naturally,
and then counter that assessment by saying it has low
confidence in it. Okay. The decision to release the assessment
is one of the first may by Trump's appointed CIA
director John Ratcliffe.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Fromman Travers
and One Room Make Your Property Research Simple News Dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That'd be nine past five. Look, I know this is
going to sound like I'm having a crack at the
Wellington City Council again, and that's because I am. Wellington
City Council have adopted this national trend that you see
more and more of celebrating mediocrity. When things go tits up,
you can rest assured that there's always a public relations
machine sitting there, idling away, just waiting to be put
(03:24):
into gear flat out down the road of self gratification
with perception bending power steering. And here's an example of that.
Wellington's ongoing efforts to address water infrastructure woes have reached
a milestone, with the region's number of leaky pipes dropping
under four hundred for the first time in four years.
Wellington met Tory Farno says that the decrease in leeks
(03:46):
was a huge relief. She thinks that water infrastructure seems
like a big problem, and it is, but when you
start seeing those winds, it reminds you that actually prioritizing them,
investing in the money and getting that spent, what's the
right thing to do. Really. Tory Farno also says that
they have over three thousand kilometers of pipes to replace,
(04:07):
so it's going to take a long time. Look, I
realized that a council inherited not only a hospital pass
of problems, more like a complete health system of paths
of problems, complete with seemingly never ending issues. But to
find absolutely positively positivity in Wellington's issues is just an
entire pr machine proving to you and I that they're
(04:27):
hard at work. Let me know what your thoughts are
on that, especially if you're in Wellington struggling with your
water quality or your ability to flush the tour that
not see the contents on Courtney Place. And just a
few moments I'll be speaking with the Treaty Principles Bill.
What are the key people involved with that? Lady turt
Moxon and her thoughts as She'll be making a submission
with the oral submissions today. Ten past five. It's early
(04:49):
edition used talk sad.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
B, News and views You trust to start your day.
It's a billy edition with Roman travers and one roof.
Make your property search simple, you talk to me.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Thirteen past five. Well Oral hearings for the Treaty Principal's
Bill get underway today, marking the start of eighty hours
worth of hearings over the course of a month. The
total number of online submissions received isn't known yet as
processing continues. Author of the bill and at party leader
David Seymour will be the first to give his submission
later this morning. A total of fifty oral submissions will
(05:24):
be heard on day one. Lady turt Et Moxon is
the managing director of tair Kahul Health and we'll be
speaking at Parliament later this morning, and she joins me, now,
a very good morning to you, Very good morning to
you too. Look, thanks so much for getting up early
in joining us. What are you expecting today? How are
you expecting things to go?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Well? I think it should go pretty smoothly. I think
they've got a lot to do. But our submission is
basically we're saying what what we believe needs to happen
in terms of this bill and the fact that we
reject it, both reaching out and oppose it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So it's been a heck of a process, hasn't How
have you found the process to get to this point?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Well, it has been a heck of a process. And
the worst of it is there's a waste of time
simply because labor are sorry, national and and you said
these have both said that they weren't they weren't they
weren't supported beyond this process. Well, how ridiculous is that?
Why would you put us through that process? Is that
(06:29):
if you have no intention of supporting it going forward?
So you know, we're pleased about that, don't get me wrong,
But I'm sure we can be spending a lot of that,
all that money and all that time and resource aren't
better things.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Okay, well, there's a fair point. I think you're making
a good point. So what is the point and you're
making a submission today with a bill that's going nowhere.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Well, simply because we must be heard, and you'll find
that the other people behind me or for you know
that other people behind me will feel the same way.
And you know, you've got to remember too that we
had the largest protests in the country in terms of
(07:13):
the Treaty Principles Bill, and so you know, forty two
thousand people got out and spoke to their feet. So
you know, I actually think that there is it's important
to be able to see to them and all of
those yet to come in our future that we try
(07:34):
to do something.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Do you think it, Well, look, it's a fair point,
and I think a lot of people would love to
be there listening to what's going on, or maybe not.
Do you think do you think there was widely a
misinterpretation of what the Treaty Principal's Bill was wanting to achieve?
Do you think it was widely misunderstood by the majority
of people?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, I think for a lot number of people who
do not understand what truly means and has no understanding
of what history history of this country is or even
the plight of Maori in our country. I would say, very,
very categorically, it's a lot of people who have put
(08:15):
in submissions, will have submitted have a misunderstanding of what
it means.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I know you're going to be speaking very early this morning.
I think you're on at eight thirty this morning, aren't.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
You that's correct?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, Can you give us a little bit of a
taster about what you'll be saying.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Well, definitely, I'll be saying that we're we rejected and
opposed the at the and also I think that that
it should be rejected and opposed by the Select Committee.
But more over than that than not, I really think
that that you know the that this is a breach
(08:54):
of to three to your white tonguey and.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
And it will it will be a breach forever no
matter how they try to reinterpret the principles and pretty
basically take over.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
From from the court. You know, there's a difference between
the court's interpreting this, you know, the principles from the acts.
You know, government react ax and the court's interpret the
acts and the police enforce the acts. So here we are.
(09:30):
We've got a government to trying to do both.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Lady turdyt Mox and thank you so much for your
time and and all the very best this morning, and
it's an early start your submission at eight thirty this morning.
Thanks for your time. Let me you know your thoughts
on that. Have you got any great feelings about that?
The text is nine two ninety two or z b ZB.
Let's wrap up the weekend sport with Elliot Smith in
just a few moments on Early Edition News Talks thereb
eighteen past five.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Roman Travers on early edition with one roof make your
Property Search Simple, Used.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Talk zibby twenty past five. Elliot Smith, He's everywhere, He's
everywhere all over the sport. He's our news Talk Zibbie
sport expert. And man, there's been some sport this weekend.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Hasn't it. Just yeah, this is the collision all the
seasons sort of coming together, isn't it. And I suppose
you look at the Australian Open final. It was a
great time of the year. Two big finals of course
over the weekend. The Women's on Saturday night won by
Madison Keys, who's been a regular visitor actually to Auckland's
through a number of seasons, beating the world number one
net Sabalinka and a really really entertaining final two sets
(10:32):
to one last night's men's final bit more one way
traffic to be honest. Jarick Center, the world number one
beating Alexander Verev and in straight sets last night, didn't
have it all his own way, but pretty straightforward her.
For Jarnick Center, who is the world number one best
player in the hard courts at the moment, there is
the doping case sort of hanging over him, which is
(10:52):
interesting in a fascinating backdrop to his success in recent times.
The cream and the massuse and everything like that. The
Court of Arbitration for Sport here having an appeal in
a couple of months time. But regardless, he is showing
what he's capable of. And Zveriev had another crack. It's
winning a major. Probably the best player on tour at
(11:14):
the moment to have not won a Grand Slam tournament
by a Nixon last night to remain just too good.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I just had. I'm sorry, but that's a great title
for a book, The Cream and the Mississ the Story
of Oh my Lord. That's brilliant and some good news
for Auckland FC.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It was great new It's been a busy week for them,
three matches in seven days and they've emerged from that
really hectic period at the top of the A League ladder.
So this was always going to be a bit of
an acid test for them, this new club. They've fallen
away a little bit now they've come back up again
in a hectic period over the last week. Two wins
including last night ninety fifth minutes a fifth minute of
(11:50):
at a time against Western Sydney Nada and moreno one
of the import players getting the goal one nil, they win,
take the three points back. So draw and two wins
over the last moves them back to the top of
the eight league and they just seem to manage to
find a way, which is the really exciting thing about
this team. They don't know when they beats and don't
know when they're on the cusp of losing a game.
(12:10):
They risk it a point earlier in the week. So
back to the top of the ladder, which is great
news for them.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Remen Yeah, it is going from the beautiful game to
the very tall, fast game the breakers.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yeah, it's been a battling old season for the Breakers,
and you can put the calculator away remand the mathematical
hopes of their making the playoff are all but over over.
They lost last night ninety four seventy eight to Adelaide.
It's been a really poor season. They started really strongly,
had some personnel changes to their team board, and Tago Fall,
who's a two point two seven meter import, just hasn't
(12:43):
quite clicked. And with that defeat last night, out of
the playoffs and they won't be playing any for the basketball.
We've got two more games at home, but won't be
making the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They've got some huge fans though, like literally big fans,
a big following, and they make.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
That and even with the fact that they're out of
the playoffs, will still get I think decent crowds for
these last two games back at home. I think one's Friday.
One might be wi ng You Day potentially, but two
games home they'll get a really good credit sparker and
for both of those games, regardless of them being out
of the pluffs. But we chance look ahead and see
how they rebuild for their next campaign and what players
(13:16):
they bring, what players are thrown on the scrap heap,
as always happens at the end of the breaker season.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, cheers, Elliott, Thank you so much. Elliott Smith from
News Talks AIRB Sport. Well, we've had food and schools
for a while, haven't we. What's the benefit of having
food and schools? Is there enough food in schools? A
new study released this morning shows some real issues for
our students right across New Zealand and their ability to
function at school and perform academically. And I've got some
more thoughts on that in just a few minutes twenty
(13:42):
three past five. It's early edition news Talks EDB the.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by
News Talks.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
AB twenty six past five. Although the school holidays are
in full swing, still that doesn't mean that the country's
children are getting the food they need at home. New
Zealand children are still going hungary at school and that
means they're going through and ending up years behind other
children in key subjects. The data that shows this ongoing
issue for us all also ranks New Zealand poorly for
(14:11):
food poverty. The health researchers behind this just published analysis
argue that government needs to double the number of children
served by its newly revamped Lunches in School scheme. It's
no surprise that hungary students struggled to learn. Food poverty
has been cited as a big barrier in New Zealand's
scoring under the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment. A
(14:32):
comparison between that and two other global data sets has
allowed a team of researchers to look at the link
in greater depth. After analyzing food and security levels after
subject specific scores, the team prevailed to start trend. Any
degree of food and security was associated with much lower
academic performance, a pattern that held across all subjects, age
(14:54):
groups and surveys. Professor Boyd Swinburn from Auckland University as
a co author of the study on referr to, and
he says he didn't expect the effect size to be
so large. In all, it equated to a learning gap
equivalent to hungry students trailing two to four years behind
in subjects like maths and reading by age fifteen, and
(15:15):
even after adjusting for socioeconomic indicators. Something else born to
the study is that there's also a grady in effect.
The more severe the food and security, the greater gap
in scores compared to kids with no food insecurity. The
problem doesn't just affect hungry children finding it harder to
concentrate in class, but other factors, including parents keeping their
(15:36):
kids home rather than facing stigma at school. It's all
very well to blame the state of New Zealand's curriculum
or the size of classrooms confronting our teachers, but when
you may well address some of the demonstrably poor outcomes
shown in the study by simply ensuring that our children
are well fed and literally well catered for at school,
what on earth are we waiting for? News talks zedby Look,
(16:00):
I welcome your feedback on anything you've heard, especially that
nine two nine and two, and my email is Roman
at Newstalk Zreb dot co dot nz. It does seem
really really odd to me that you would spend all
this time thinking is it a good idea to be
supplying food in school? There's been debates on it for
years and years and years. There's a lot of wastage,
(16:21):
they don't need it, parents should be supplying it. All
of that may be entirely true. Undoubtedly parents should be
and traditionally have been providing a cut lunch for you
to take to school. It might have been hideous. It
might have got warmer and warmer as the day got on,
like cheese and marmite sandwiches, which eventually became a version
of cheese on toast. But we're seen with the cost
(16:42):
of living that more and more families are unable to
meet those requirements. So if it's simply a case of
increasing a cheap meal for more students at school to
enhance their ability to do better, then it makes a
whole lot more sense to me. And I'm short wood
to you as well nine nine two to text and
my email is Romance and at NEWSTALKSIRB dot co dot NZ.
(17:03):
Well it's been all go, hasn't it. It's been all
go in Munga Phi and other parts of Northland. This
this tornado wreaking havoc over the weekend, absolutely destructive and
before six I'll be speaking with the mayor of that area,
Grant McCullum. He'll give us an update on what's happening
up there. Absolutely catastrophic. You've seen those pictures. Will find
(17:23):
out what's happening there and whether or not there'll be
government support or not. All that's coming up before six
o'clock this morning on Early Edition News Talks edb.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Cost Costing, the news you need this morning and the
in depth analysis Early Edition with Brahman Trappers and One
Room Make Your Property Search Simple, News Talks Ed Brest Talk.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's early addition Roman Travis and to Ryan Bridge. This
Auckland Anniversary for those that are north of tod On.
It's quite a big region actually, hope you're going to
have a lovely day. Just a reminder that in before Sex,
I'll be speaking with the Northland MP, Grant McCullum on
what's happening with those Munga Fi tornado after effects and
whether there'll be central government assistance for that. Our international
correspondent this morning in just a few moments will be
(18:37):
Gail Downey with news out of the UK and Europe
as well. Some feedback from you too. Wellington City Council
Roman didn't inherit the problems. The Mayor's knew, but the
dominant bulk of the council have been there a long
time and have been running the city down for many years.
But the pipes are pretty old too.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Look, it is an ongoing problem that several councils have
abdicated responsibility from right. Roman. Whenever I hear people argue
against the treaty principles, it's always word broad statements, but
never anything specific. Why is everyone so scared of it?
And what is it they're specifically scared of? Well, I
think it's a general lack of understanding. Isn't it running
(19:15):
with the flock as people do? Reman? If a parent
isn't feeding their child, isn't it likely that they're also
not helping them with reading and writing and maths, et cetera. Yeah,
quite possibly, Remand why do people keep having children they
can't afford to look after them? I'd also be interested
in the correlation with drug use and families in that
food security research. We'll keep that feedback coming in my
(19:38):
email Roman at Newstalkzreb dot co dot nz and the
text is nine two nine two twenty two to six
news Talk said, be heading around the country with our
reporter wrap Callum Proctor, good morning to you, Greetings, Good
morning Roman, Yeah, good morning. That was a bit Talia
but cold there this morning? Are what's this speaking of
(19:58):
being cole Calum? Can you imagine living in your car
as a student.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Well, no, but that could be a reality for many
here this year. It's the cost of living is a
big issue for students and it's only getting more expensive
for them here. Trade me figures show our region's rents
increased by eleven point six percent in the past year.
South Than's is up nearly seven percent. The students' associations
told us that data is not surprising given the issues
(20:25):
they are hearing about students trying to find affordable accommodation
this year. They say, twenty twenty five is already shaping
up to be more difficult than others for those flat hunting.
And it's scary to hear from students moving here that
they'll be living out of their cars and unable to
afford food.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, that's absolutely horrendous, isn't it. What's speaking of the
weather and how cold it might be. What's the weather
going to do today?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Callum not great, few showers clear later today fresh, soole
westerly and sixteen.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Good on you, Cadum, Thank you so much, Callum Proctor
and Dunedin. Let's head to christ Church with Claire Sherwood.
Morning clear, good news for white bait.
Speaker 10 (20:59):
Well, good news. Who's part concerned for white baiting behavior,
so there's concerns here about people fishing outside of the
restricted white baiting season. The Department of Conservation, which manages
the white bait fisheries here, have had one hundred and
sixty eight reports of possible regulation breaches from the end
of the season in August until the end of November.
They've taken fourteen enforcement actions so far. There's more still
(21:22):
to come. Some locals white baits themselves, are concerned that
fishing beyond the season could impact upon their catch numbers
next year. Basically, but nee was Mike Hickford says, unlike
other marine at fisheries, there's no way to tell why
a white bait season could be poor. He says having
fishery catch data coming in would be a huge step
forward in helping us to understand if populations define or
(21:45):
are in fact in decline.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
No you good stuff? Is it a good day to
go fishing? In christ Church?
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Miserable here to be honest.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Shao is very heavy this morning and will clear to
find this afternoon as strong southwesterlyes easing a high of
eighteen clear sherwood.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Thank you in christ Church. Let's go to Wellington, God's
chosen city, mechs toll. You've lost the warehouse, the warehouse
where everyone gets it. Well, it's broken, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Yeah, no bargain for people going to Tory Street anymore.
Quite an interesting story. Actually, we were first to report
last week that the warehouse was having to close. This
is the Central City branch, not of their own volition,
but because the landlord had decided not to renew the lease.
And we learn now that that's because my ten has
been given it and will open at the same site
(22:28):
toward the end of the year. We spoke to the
warehouse's national store operations manager last week. He told us
they're all gutted. They've operated there for thirty years. They
had to close for more than a year after a
devastating fire there. They had only just reopened mid last year.
But that's it. Apparently the landlord is not budging. Might
attend must be offering far more money, or there's something
(22:50):
we're not.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yet aware of. Yeah, is it a good day to
go shopping in Wellington?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
No, shower's pretty strong Southerleies as well, which, to be honest,
quite welcome after the hot, humid days we've had at
seventeen the high central.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Oh, you don't talk about humidity with me. Last night
was like sleeping in a fish tank underwater, a tropical one.
It was very what neither a timer? You're looking fresh
and well how many times have I told you?
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Every time?
Speaker 11 (23:14):
You say this every summer? Oh my, turn your air
corn on. It's been broken for flopping three.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Years, seven seven years? Actually, my goodness sake. Well we've
got to go through a reford. There's no point in
fixing it. They say, if you're not going to run,
would you do you kick the windows open and run
around naked most of.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
The time, just trying to make it out of my head,
out of my head.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Put your hands up high so you don't get sweaty.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Armputs Happy Aukland Anniversary day. And here we are on
a public holiday.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What's happening with the weather around the Auckland and Northern region.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
Well, are you talking about the weather or do I
go into the weather.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Or is it just not the weather? No, just the
story about the weather. Trying to be subtle.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Oh, you're trying to be subtle and you're trying to
be a well rounded broadcast excent. Well, do you know today,
two years to the day since the Orklanden, those three floods. Gosh,
it's just gone by so fast. But there's a hope
now that a greener future for Auckland can come out
of these severe weather events. Ages say their Roman I
mean Lyle Carter. Now he's the chair of the advocacy
group West Auckland is Flooding. He says, Look, it's reevaluating
(24:15):
what its role is going to be, you know, as
time goes on. It's been two years, he said, of course,
you know when it happened, they were advocating for people
suffering from the floods. But now this next steap will
be advocating for managed to retreat. He says that that's
going to be you know, it will include creating community
so that people can live with nature instead of against it,
and you know, coming up with some ideas all of that,
(24:36):
so which could take some time, isn't But I mean
Munga fire yesterday, that tornado and those photos.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
That's crazy crazy, It's like you know, Central USA kind
of madness, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
And what they were saying to a miracle that there
were no debts incredible.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What's happening today?
Speaker 11 (24:53):
With the weather isolated, chowers clearing to find late morning.
If you're out there at Auckland, you know, going down
to the waterfront, that small one off, it's all taking
off today.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
You're going there, I'll be sleeping probably, Oh.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Yeah, sleeping sweetie and everything.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
No you can't.
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Oh I have twety three for the rest of the
Auckland as they can enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Love lovely never aity man, who thank you so much.
International correspondent Gail Downey with news out of Europe and
the UK joining us very shortly and just before Sex.
Grant McCallum, the MP for Northland, talking about what's happened
in Maunga pi as nevl was talking about absolutely terrible
seventeen to Sex. It's early edition.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
US talks there b International correspondence with ins and Eye insurance,
Peace of mind for New Zealand business the.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Thing to six and Gail Downey is our Europe and
UK correspondent. Morning to you go. Real problems here with
the big cleanup two after the big storms across the UK.
Speaker 12 (25:45):
Yes, it's actually we now have a second storm on
its way which has begun to affect south west of England.
So places like Devon and Cornwall, so the cleanup operation
continues in Northern Ireland, Whales and parts of Western England
and of course the Irish Republic as well, which are
the worst affected. And two people died in separate incidents
(26:08):
when their cars were hit by falling trees. In Northern Ireland,
seventy five thousand people are still without power and the
energy companies are saying it could take up to ten
days to complete repairs needed. As I say, this isn't
the end of the bad weather. The new storm now
is called Hermonia and that's also leaving thousands of homes
without power today at Palmas, the Coastguard is saying to
(26:33):
people please please stay away from the coast because of
the crashing waves. Conditions out at Seat are described as
really really bad.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, that just sounds absolutely horrendous. The whole world's changing
with the weather systems. I really feel for you people there.
But there's some good news possibly with Heathrow Airport possibly
getting a third runway.
Speaker 13 (26:55):
Well.
Speaker 12 (26:55):
This has come out of an interview done by the
Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
This week.
Speaker 12 (27:00):
The government is expected to make an announcement as part
of plans to boost the UK economy and part of
that announcement it looks like it could be talk of
a third runway at Heathrow. So the government's already approved
the expansion of London City Airport and also Stanstead Airport,
stan said, which is more popular for holiday flights. And
(27:21):
now she's announced Rachel Reaves and said they're looking at
backing the expansion of Heathrow, saying that sustainable aviation and
economic growth go hand in hand and that rather than
circling London flights can land. Of course the environmentalists are
concerned about this, and what she says is sustainable fuel
was changing the carbon emissions from flying. But not everyone's
(27:43):
going to be happy. Environmental groups, as I mentioned, residents
living near the airport, and even some Labour MPs, including
the Prime Minister when he was in opposition, have all
voiced concern In the past. London's mayor said he khn't
said he was still opposed to runway and he would
actually support a legal challenge if the government did back
(28:04):
proposals for the third runway.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
See I've always thought he throw ahead more than two runways. Anyway,
it's one of the biggest airports I've ever been to.
Speaker 12 (28:13):
It's absolutely huge, isn't it. And it's something like a
plane lands every three minutes, lands or takes off every
three minutes. It is constantly busy. And that's the thing
that local residents, people living near the airport really really
don't want any more any more runways.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, that's always the case, isn't it. Gale, not in
my backyard. No prisons, no shopping malls, no airports, no anything. Really,
just leave me alone to my piece and quite all
the very bas scale. Thank you so much. With all
those storms you're confronted with over there, I really feel
for all of the people of the UK that it
may well be listening on iHeartRadio. Gail Downey, Europe and
UK correspondent eleven to six News Talks it'd be well.
(28:55):
Speaking of storms, the cleanup will continue this morning in Munga,
FI after a tour ripped through the beachside north in town.
Around fifty buildings received damage and two people were taken
to hospital with serious injuries, one of them thrown out
of her second story house while sleeping. Yikes. Northern Power
see some areas will be without power for much of
(29:16):
the day. Grant McCallum is the MP for North and
he's been in Munga fire surveying the damage and he
joins me, Now, good Lord Grant, what on earth struck
the place?
Speaker 13 (29:26):
Yeah, good morning, Gramman.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 13 (29:27):
It was pretty devastating.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
It was.
Speaker 13 (29:29):
It's quite uncanny. You know, we will see those pictures
in America where the tornadoes go through town and you'll
be a strip with this destruction on either side. Not
pretty okay, And that was pretty much what it was like.
And it was just it was just phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
It was.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
One of the fire emergency control of the told us
the worst he's ever seved from a tornado that he's
very experienced. It's not them's history of tornadoes is not
nearly that destructive as a whole. So that's just amazing.
It's just as totally devastation. Are really feel of the
people that have had their lives turned upside down in
some cases quite literally.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Look, there'd be a lot of people just wondering what's
next and literally, who's going to help me? What is
the latest information that you've heard from from the local authorities.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
Yeah, well, at the end of the day yesterday, things
have been clean up with progressing pretty well in terms
of getting with the trees from the from the roads
and getting the power power back on the there was
a numerous poles down broken. Some of the poles are
smashing the little pieces, you know, the concrete poles pieces,
(30:32):
and are North Power doing a great job of putting
it getting the power back on unfortunately, because we'll probably
all be back on by about midnight last night. But
some of the residents took to cutting the wires across
their driveway, which slowed down the progress. Not something that
recommend to treat all wires as live at all time,
please people, because there's no guarantee that they won't be
(30:53):
and we don't need that added to the challenges we've got.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No, absolutely not. You know how television always focuses on
the worst picture, go back to the worst picture. How
widespread was this? How much? How much of that damage
was isolated just a couple of very tight little areas
as opposed to a wider region.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
Yeah, it was. It was only a relveant, small area.
They said in your Leader about fifty homes affected, and
some of them there's one some of them were just
completely devastate. A handful. Yeah, it was only a very
concentrated area, two concentrated areas, and the devastation was immense
and where it did hit, you know, you couldn't believe
there's some big trees that have been there for well
(31:32):
over one hundred years. It's like flat cars crushed, you know,
and people just distraught. And one lady came up to
us as we were having a look around and said
this if a husband needed when they needed boater to
flush the toilet. And this is suppose what happens is
as like this, I said to the label, you've got
a water tank, Yes, you've got a bucket, Yes you've
got a rope. Yes, we'll chuck the bucket in the
(31:53):
tank and just clearly whereas we can think clearly because
you're coming to the outside and when you've been caught
up in a pre diffuse Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Grant McCallum north of the MP, thank you so much
for your time this morning on early edition. I hope
you get some central government support as well. Even though
it's small, it will be expensive. Ryan Bridges in for
the my Casking Breakfast still tell us what's coming up next.
It's early edition News Talks areb eight two six.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
The first word on the News of the Day Early
edition with Roman Travers and One Room Make Your Property
Search Symbol News Talk.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
V five to six. Morning to you, Ryan bridges In,
he's got the my casking breakfast Staff to six Ryan.
No doubt it's going to be very busy for you.
Good morning, Yes, very busy morning.
Speaker 14 (32:35):
Of course, it's a public holiday in Auckland, but we
won't be worrying about that because the rest of the
country is getting up and going to work.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
This morning.
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I would talk about and I know you've had Grant
McCallum on the local MP, but we will talk about
the hurricane and the tornado rather than Maunga fire suspected
tornado we're calling it.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
We're also going to look.
Speaker 14 (32:53):
At Russia and whether I'm quite interested this morning and
whether the tariffs and the sanctions and all of the
actions that the West has taken over the war in Ukraine,
whether that's actually had any effect on their economy.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
We'll look at that this morning.
Speaker 14 (33:06):
Also, dairy, is it in spite of or because of
the fact that the farm gate price is going up
and the dairy trade auction is doing well, that were
the consumers are facing high costs for our milk and
our yogurt and whatnot. So we'll look at that just
after six thirty this morning. I'll tell you what, that's
a very good question about the sanctions. I interviewed El
Gillespie a long time ago and he said sanctions are
(33:27):
just as powerful as warfare?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Are they?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is that what we're seeing? Well, exactly.
Speaker 14 (33:32):
Russia's economy right now is booming. They've grown more in
the last year than America did. They've grown more than
most European countries have.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
There's a bit of a.
Speaker 14 (33:44):
Ruse going on here because it's a war economy at
the moment, essentially, so the government's pumping a lot of
money into defense. Is that artificially blowing things up?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
But they're not exactly collapsing. Are they flip the desk?
Speaker 7 (33:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:57):
What the heck? This is madness More with Ryan Bridge
