Speaker 1 (00:00):
International correspondence with insin Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind for
New Zealand business. Yes, just go to the UK Kevin
Grade John just Hellokevin either Andrew. So Prince Harry accused
of bullying by the boss of the charity, he said, up, yes.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I think there'll be one or two people here, rather
amused by these allegations with old phrase what goes around
comes around. After of course all Prince Harry's allegations about
what happened with him and the royal family. So he
set up a charity Good Center Ballet back in two
thousand and six Andrew. This was to help children and
young people in Southern Africa, particularly those affected by HIV

(00:40):
and AIDS. But last week he resigned and so it
seemed almost all the board why well, a new chairperson
called Dr Sophie Chandalka, she is a lawyer from Zimbabwe,
has obviously not been seeing eye to eye with the
board about the direction of the charity and where they
were going to raise funds. Harry resigned and now a

(01:01):
very explosive weekend television interview with doctor chan Dhuka and
the British TV company Sky has really set the catamounder pigeons.
She has accused him of harassment and bullying. She said
when he was in the room, people were afraid to
speak their truth and to give their opinion. And she
said that at one point she was said to the

(01:21):
Duke of Sussex initiated the campaign by what she called
the unleashing of the Sussex pr machine. She says he's
the number one reason why this Center Ballet charity might
have failed, and also is accusing him of and Meghan
accusing Prince Harry of trying to put out or forcing
her to put out a message of support for Meghan

(01:43):
when she unexpectedly attended one of the events. So as
you can imagine, plenty of people very keen to hear more,
although I'm sure no response yet from Prince Harry.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now to the fashion label at of Sweden called h
and Em, we have it here as well, and it
appears they're using AI to take the jobs off models.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yes, although they're saying well, actually we are going to
pay them as though they were doing the modeling job.
So it's a Swedish fashion giant. It also operates a
number of others market caused Monkey other stores, and says
the four thousand stores worldwide across seventy five markets regularly
use humans as their models, but they are now to

(02:24):
start using AI artificial intelligence doppelgangers in social media posts
and marketing. In other words, they won't need the models. However,
they said they are going to give only do it
with the permission of the models and come into a
contract about exactly how they can be used now. H
and M says the models will retain the rights over

(02:45):
their digital replicas, and their use by the company and
other brands for purposes like marketing, etc. Will have to
be agreed by those models. And you'd think, well, all
the models will be upset. Not a bit of it.
Some have said that's going to be good because it
means they won't have to travel halfway round for a
photo shoot, but plenty of saying this is a one
way street. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
