There'd be good morning in a Sex after five. Great
to have your company on a Friday. Newtoppers and planes
for our Air Force. Vincent mcavinie in the UK for
us this morning. Sam Akerman on the AB's team naming
happening seven point thirty this morning. First home buyers are
on the march. We have a new cotality report and
Trump is going on a police patrol in Washington, d C. Tonight.
(00:30):
Look out.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's Friday, the twenty second of August. Palestivians and getting
out of Gaza City. The idea is moving in.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
What the ADF does is of all we surround the
area and then we throw leaflets from the air and
also sent tax messages to Gaze on the go live
from district or that street in this time and that dame.
And after that what we did on our soldiers. What
I was told with AFT in Gaza is that there
isn't any civilians of it. The only one who we
named Ham or Jadick, Extam or other armed factions meaning
(01:03):
you can shoot everywhere now.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Nitan Yahoo is going to approve these military plans later today.
The fighting ramping up in Ukraine as well, Russia's biggest
bombing campaign in weeks. Overnight.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Overnight, more than five hundred and seventy four drones forty missiles.
The whole of the country was affected. Eleven different sights
across the country were hit.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So much for the peace talks, you wes. Celebrity judge
Frank Caprio, known as the nicest judge in the world,
has died at the age of eighty eight. You might
have seen his stuff online clips of it online. His
TV show Caught in Providence went viral for mixing compassion
with justice, racking up billions of views.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Now we're talking about your father right now, you're going
to say guilty or not guilty? What do you say?
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Guilty?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Guilty?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
We all have waste challenges. We can face them in
two ways. We can either crumble and succumb to them,
or we can raise above them. You know, and I'm
sure you have the strengthen the was to raise above them.
The one thing you don't have to worry about these tickets.
He's going to get dismiss.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The first word on the news of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one route love where you live.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
News talks that'd be he did seem like a lovely man.
Eight after five, Paul says, why does Luxon need two jumbos?
These are the planes that the Air Force is getting, well,
not just for lux and are they Yes, they can
carry passengers, but you also get cargo in underneath the
main thing. Well, I mean there are lots of reasons
why they're getting them, but the range on them is good.
You can get down to Antarctica and back if the
(02:35):
conditions are too bad to land. Because when you go
to Antarctic there's a point of no return. And I
had the pleasure of going down there as a reporter,
the displeasure of sharing a room with Barry Soper, who
did nothing but snare. But going down there there's a
point of no return, and it's kind of scary because
you go, well, what if the weather changes after the point.
(02:56):
It suddenly changes, as it's prone to do in Antarctica.
After the point and no return, you got no choice
but to land, So then it'd be really heary. But
you get loads of flights that go to go halfway there,
turn around, halfway there, turnaround so this would about. This
means you're able to go there where there's crap, turn
around and come back. I think it was about eight
hours to get down there. You're on news talks, they'd
(03:17):
be this morning. The Greens, they talk more than any
other party in Parliament about trolls and abuse and safety
concerns for MPs, all that stuff. So here along comes
and across the Aisle Bill to better protect MP's in
their homes and people in their homes. It would basically
ban protesting outside a person's residence i e. A place
(03:38):
where someone is sleeping and their family might be sleeping.
And you might think this is a good idea. You
might think the Greens would get on board all for it,
all over it. No, all the misogyny that they get,
all the vile abuse they say they receive on a
daily basis. They say it's so bad that women aren't
standing for office, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yesterday
they came out so they won't support it. Why because
(04:02):
what they love more than safety is winging and waving placards.
That's in their DNA. They're basically worried they won't be
able to shout and scream and wave banners outside Premier
House in Thornton where the Prime Minister sleeps. Sometimes there's
a speaker's flat in Parliament. And this is the interesting part.
And they're worried that people won't be able to protest
outside param wh It's just ridiculous. Of course they will.
(04:23):
They won't happen, and it would be sorted out in
a Select committee anyway. So the fact that they've come
out this early in the piece and said not supporting
this bill, we don't like it tells you what their
real passion is, wandering the streets shouting, live streaming to
TikTok and amassing a bunch of followers. After five news talks,
(04:44):
there'd be we'll talk first home Buyers next.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you Live. News
talks d be five.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Point thirteen on news Talks. There'd be some good news
for farmers out yesterday from fonn Terror. They're increasing their
price in their range, so they give you a price
which is basically the midpoint of their range. So the
price increasing. Forecast farm gate milk price increasing from ten
bucks per kilogram milk solace to ten fifteen so nextra
fifteen cents. The range narrowed from nine dollars seventy to
(05:18):
ten dollars thirty per milligrams to ten ten to ten twenty.
So this is good news farmers. More good news farmers.
Prices are good, the sales book is looking good and healthy.
Exchange rate uncertainty. The final number they will confirm when
they do their results that is coming September. Bran Bread
five fifteen. So first home buy is accounted for twenty
(05:40):
seven percent of the market in July. This is way
above their long term average of twenty one to twenty
two percent. And your movers, these are your owner occupiers
selling and rebuying pretty consistent, same levels we've seen we
saw during the global financial crisis. So this is new
data out this morning from Cotality. And David Cunningham is
Chief Squirrel at Squirrel Mortgages. David, good morning, Right, so
(06:05):
they're getting on the ladder. What are they buying?
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Well, houses?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What are we? Units? Are we? Are we? You know?
Small ones?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Well, the thing about the first time buyer market at
the moment is it's really a goldilocks market. They've got
so much choice because there's a lot of stuff on
the market. Fircely there's no urgency because houses aren't selling
as fast as they were. You know, go bout three years,
you know, post COVID, if you didn't make an offer,
you know, when you saw the house, it was gone.
(06:35):
So you've got time, you've got choice. So on, interest
rates have come down, keep davior balances are higher, and
you've got this competition from both investors and movers too,
so you know, Goldilocks sign. It's bit like the farmers actually, and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You want to get in there quick, done you before
prices start going back up again. There's the rest I've.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Heard the down Yeah yeah, yeah, Look, coming back back
to your earlier question, what are they buying? Well, they've
got choice, so you know they are buying. You know,
it's typical. When I bought my first house, it was
a bit of a do up and and you know
the beauty is that there's time, time to time storad
of do it. But sorry, what was the question again?
Early in the morning, Let's.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Say I want to ask you about the o CR yesterday.
Do you think that that, I mean, what are you
expecting to see in terms of deals from banks in
the next couple of months.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Yeah, look, we'll see interest rates drift down abit. That's
what sort of happens. You know, your floating rate moves
worth the o CR literally on the day or even
beforehand or immediately after. But your fixed rates is where
everyone goes in New Zealand. You know, almost everyone's on
a fixed rate, and they're much lower than floating rates.
So there was anything surprised. The market a worth about
(07:54):
at least another core of percent of four coast drops
in the o CR than what was there before. So
wholesale rates fall by about that. Therefore retail rates will
fall fall by about that. So I think we'll get
to about four and a half percent, likely on the
one year, maybe even the two year, over the next
over the months head, assuming things played as they are.
It's you know, this challenge that the New Zealand economy
(08:15):
is a sort of pulse of activity and it's sort
of coming from the Egrey sector just needs to sort
of get us out of this gloomy mood.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Heh oh, something's got it, David. He appreciate your time
this morning. Thanks for being on the show, David Cunning
And as Chief Squirrel at Squirrel Mortgages. It is sixteen
after five on News Talks theb We'll get to your
texts next, and also Sam Ackerman on the Abs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and One roof Love where you Live, News Talks.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The'd be news Talks. There'd be somebody here, says Ryan.
Why does the speaker have a room on site to
sleep at Parliament? Is that so Jerry can have a
snooze after having a pie and a coke at lunchtime?
They do have a who's in there? And I went,
I've been in there a couple of times actually, and
one time there was a speaker who was the Minister
of Wine and Cheese. Jonathan Hunt went on a tour
(09:09):
of the speaker's fate with Jonathan Hunt and he said
it was very weird. But he pointed out, oh look
there's the young bathroom. The queen has taken a number two.
There should she be talking about you're her representative in
New Zealand and you're talking about her doing her business.
I thought it was all very odd. Anyway, Yeah, it's
got I think two or three bedrooms. You can host
(09:32):
dignitaries there. There's sort of a formal dining room, so
it suits a purpose. But yeah, you can sleep there.
Adrian Uafi when he was in there, had a whole
bunch of Washington in one of the rooms. Didn't want
to let us in there. But you can sleep there
because if the house is running, not that the speakers
the one that sits in the speaker's seat all the time,
but I suppose there's some logic that if they need
(09:52):
to be called up and there's an urgent debate something
like that, they can be there on site. Just gone
twenty after five, gray Bridge. Rainy week and Buenos Aires
hasn't damped the spirits of the AB's ahead of Sunday's
tests against the Pumas. Raises going with one or two
more rookies for the rematch with the Pumas well. Is
he will find out seven thirty our time this morning.
Sam Ackerman as a sports commentator with me this morning,
(10:14):
Kay samyday, Ryan, good to have you on. What do
you reckons He's going to do this morning? Listen.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
One thing that Razer has printed on us, as we
can expect they expected, is very rare to come and
make some wild changes or throw a whole bunch of
rookies into this scenario. This Rugby Championship really all roads lead.
In the next game after this one against the spring Rocks,
that is the biggest game of the season. Don't expect
(10:41):
them to tinker too much with that side that ran
out in the first Test. So there will be a
few force changes through injury absence to the bench, but
outside of that it should be relatively consistently. Imagine Ryan
in their first starting fifteen.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What about Wallace the Tit and Tomato Williams back from injury.
Will we see them in the fifteen or will they
be bent?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I feel there's probably more likelihood that Williams will come
off the bench, but he's certainly capable of going straight
into that front row position. He played through injury in
the Super Rugby Final, so he has a high paying
threshold and he has been champion at the bit to
get back. I'd love to see him start, but my
I just feel like safety wise is most likely to
come off the bench, and it's for Titi. It's a
(11:22):
very settled starting loose Ford trio they have at the
moment who are playing well and I think Carrefi has
done well in that position, but I think so Titi,
You're right, is the most likely to come in to
that starting side. He is definitely part of the preferred
starting Loise Ford's in the eyes of many, and you'd
think you want to get some decent minutes under his
belt before he takes on the box in a few
(11:43):
weeks time.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Say in the first fifteen minutes of the second half
last weekend Bit week, it was he looking to firm
that up. I mean, how do you focus on that?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I definitely think they want to show that they can
put on a bit more fire and that they can
hold their consistency throughout the game, because this Argentine's side
can never be packing lightly. They have been in New
Zealand on New Zealand soil, not on Argentine soil. It's
I'm sure has driving them to a certain extent as well,
but they need to shore it up. They need to
make sure they have a consistency with their attack as well.
(12:16):
I think some smarter options when they get it, have
an opportunity to get out wide. It's fair to say
some of the outside backs didn't get a whole lot
of opportunities in that test match will be interested to
see if they're going to play to the same game
plan to try to nail it or very things up.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Along the way. They seem largely back on track. How
long till we get that real shock and war that
you expect from a Robertson team.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah, it feels like we've been waiting for that for
quite a while. Ryan. The concept of this all that
side kicking into gear and ruthlessly dismantling side that we've
seen in the past that we used to be all
excited about the last twenty minutes where they could put
any team away, Well, it certainly hasn't always been the
case in recent years there, so I would love this
to be a comprehensive performance. Most of all, they need
(13:00):
to walk away from this game with real confidence that.
I don't want to keep looking ahead to the next game,
because you do have to get past so you've got
in front of you. But that Eden Park Test, the
record that's been held there for so long. They do
not want to be the team that loses the Eden
Park record. So every step they take here in the
back of their mind and certainly the fans mind, will
(13:20):
be the Eden Park Test.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, looking forward to that one. Sam. Thank you, Sam Ackerman,
sports commentator on the show this morning. The team name
in this morning at seven thirty twenty three after five
Ray Bread So Labor. You might have seen this in
the news yesterday. Labor Party is actually ruling something out
for a start, which is news that's a headline because
they've not ruled anything in or anything out. And I
(13:43):
see that. Matthew Houton has a good column out in
the Herald this morning, as he usually does, pointing out
that their best chance to getting back into the Treasury
benches is to just do nothing, say nothing, and hope
that Reserve banks optimistic expectations for the economy turn out
to be wrong. Anyway, Lay yesterday, get yourself into a
bit of a pickle because clearly so that they've ruled
(14:05):
something out, but clearly they're not all an agreeance on it.
Penny Hennade goes to a candidate's meeting, This is for
the Tammacki Makoto by election and ordering any competer from PARTI.
Marti's there and someone asked the question, are you going
to reverse the ban on gang patches?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Will you repeal the gang patch law?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
If you was come into government, yes or no.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Means yes for those who are uncertain. So there you go.
Penny Henade wants to reverse the ban on gang patches,
and then a couple of minutes later Cipiloni comes out
and smacks it down. No, no, we have no intention
to repeal that legislation.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
We did oppose the bill in the House, and so
I'm wondering whether that led them to that conclusion.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So that begs the question was it a good idea? Clearly?
I mean the police think it was a good idea.
They say they're making arrest, they're making headway. Labor obviously
now thinks it's a good idea too, So are they
going to go and Congress to late the government? Twenty
five minutes after five, you're on News Talks MB.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
The early edition Full the Show podcast on Iron Art
Radio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Five twenty seven News Talk ZBB. We'll talk air Force
planes and trappers before six. But this morning I have
had it with car parks so small you couldn't fit
a shopping trolley in them. What exactly do they think
We're driving go carts? No, people are buying big cars, utes,
station wagons, SUVs. They are all hanging over the white
(15:32):
lines on the side, or they're punching out the back
onto the road behind them. The Spinoff wrote about this
problem last week the Civic and Auckland is one of
the worst offenders, and yesterday, driving along, I saw a
pregnant woman trying to squeeze herself, a handbag and an
unborn baby out of a sedan and a building car park.
She was literally using the handbag as a shield to
(15:54):
protect her belly from the car door. Are we trying
to send these people into early labor? Apparently, new cars
are getting a centimeter wider every two years. People like
bigger cars, they feel safer, and we're also getting way
more obese. We're getting fatter, so we literally can't fit
into a Honda Civic anymore. The side impact protection on
(16:15):
new cars is apparently taking up lots of the extra space.
Are councils and Wilson's doing anything about this? No, they're not.
Are we expected to just bend, fold and stretch our
way into our cars like Ninja's? Are they going to
pay for the physio appointments? Should we take yoga classes?
A Colchester council listen in the UK. They've apparently spent
(16:37):
a million pounds repainting white lines to make their car
parks bigger. Good on them. The panel beaters must love it.
We need fewer parks and more room. So let's start
a movement New Zealand. Let's stop this madness together. We
can help that pregnant woman. We can save our bad backs.
I've got one our dicky knees the elderly. For goodness sakes,
(17:00):
give me common sense and a bigger car park. Ryan
Bridge twenty nine after five News TALKSB come out next
to talk to Vincent mcavinie. Will have our reporters around
the country and the world's oldest person marks her birthday today.
Ethel Katahim one hundred and sixteen years old today. Born
on the twenty first of August nineteen o nine. She
(17:22):
was born five years before the start of the First
World War. What's her secret? Well, she's not saying why
because she's not doing any interviews. She just wants to
enjoy the day on her own. Good on you, Happy birthday, Ethel.
News TALKSB, News.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And Views you trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you
Live News Talks B.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Welcome to your Friday on News Talk SAB. It's twenty
four minutes away from six wiel talk the Air Force
new planes and helicopters before six o'clock this morning. Vincent
macavinie with us from the UK. This is about Russia.
You know, you have a week of diplomacy and then boom,
biggest strikes from them in a week. It's sorry, in
weeks and you start to ask yourself, is this like
(18:27):
positioning for a deal? Are they going all at it
helpful either positioning for a deal or are they just
doing whatever the hell they want. Lavrov are overnight shutting
down this idea of you that you would need and
get European troops in Ukraine post some sort of settlement
as a backstop. He's calling this foreign intervention and you
(18:49):
just I mean, of course there have to be some
European troops in there, otherwise the Russians will just go
in and do what they've done time and time again,
which has crossed the border with their tanks, and do
whatever the hell they want. Vince mcavenie will have the
latest on that for us in a couple of minutes time.
It's now twenty three minutes to six o'clock, Bryan Bridge,
(19:10):
and let's go to our reporters around the country. We
start this morning and Needin, who we gotten too? Needin?
This morning? Callum is there? Calum? Good morning? What's happening?
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Needing? Mate? Yep? Callums here morning? Right, We're good look
qe wee.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
Kids, it's been discovered by more research out of a
Tiger university are exposed to nearly two hundred and fifty
percent more unhealthy marketing messages than healthy ones. This study
tracked twelve year olds. They were wearing cameras to capture
what was essentially an unfiltered view of the advertising that
children see in any given day. And what it's revealed
(19:49):
is that our youth are exposed to unhealthy food, alcohol,
and gambling marketing seventy six times a day. The researchers
say a lot of that marketing is around childre's environments
as well, like schools, where they should be free of
that messaging. And they say that children in the most
deprived areas of New Zealand are seeing the bulk of
those messages. Okay, how's your weather morning, cloud and frost's
(20:12):
clear to find for our Friday. Westerly is easing the
high thirteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Have a good one. Claire's and christ Church Morning, clear morning.
Now is the council bullying the.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
Homeless, Well, that's certainly the claim. Here in christ Church, Ryan,
We've got at least ten people who have been living
in the car park of a church at Avonside, Holy
Trinity Church. Some of them have been there for up
to a year. There are tents, there are campers, you know,
various different setups in their. Council though, has issued an
abatement notice to stop them using that car park as
a campground by five o'clock this afternoon. Now, Council's firm
(20:44):
that an extension is possible, but only if a new
resource consent which would allow camping is obtained. That's looking unlikely.
That need things like kitchen facilities and bathrooms and things
provided on site. I stopped in there yesterday afternoon. Community
worker River Rain says, look and everyone associated with the
church are happy with the community being there. They are
working with some good people at council to work through
(21:06):
the issues. But the homeless community who were there and
one of them, I spoke with Christina Katatiane she's been
living there for a few weeks now. She says, look,
we're doing no harm. We've got nowhere else to go.
She wants counsel to leave them alone and to perhaps
even go down there and spend some time there to
understand the situation there in and exactly how they're feeling.
She is who has claimed that they are bullies.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
How's your weather clear?
Speaker 10 (21:30):
Frosty? There is the chance of some more showers today
then clearing too fine about mid day a high of twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, you enjoy that New Zealand's biggest beer festival
begins in Wellington this morning. And were crossing live to
Ambassador Max tole Max, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
How did you know?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well, I just I took a look at you and
I took a guest.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Well, it was a good guess, because I'm not ashamed
to say I go to beer Vana every year, and
I will be going this evening. It does seem though
year on yere it is slightly trending in the wrong direction,
not surprising in this current economic climate. About twelve thousand
people are expected to attend the four sessions, two sessions
a day, that's today and tomorrow. A similar number of
(22:09):
breweries are going to be there sixty five to seventy ish,
but a couple of years ago you were getting a
few thousand more through the door. A few of the
bigger New Zealand breweries as well tend to skip BERV
a year on year due to cost travel, cost staffing.
Perhaps they don't feel they need to be there. It's
essential to be showing their faces, you know. But hey,
I still love it. I'll be trying some sort of
(22:30):
for Joe and milkshake, ipa sour or something. I'm sure tonight, yeah,
today and tomorrow at sky Stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's never appere There's the thing, it's at the stadium.
The location has always put me off because the thought
of you're standing up for hours and then basically just
walking around a concrete conquest, you know.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Yeah, so it is more for purists than you would say,
you know, beers at the basin, which is you get
your casuals in there who want to soak up the
sun and listen to a bit of music. This is
the Beer Purist Festival. How's your weather?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Partly cloudy?
Speaker 11 (22:58):
Southerly's eleven the high Central.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Enjoyed today, Max, Thank you Neivas here in Auckland. Hey, Neva, Hello,
Max seems.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Too refined for to be a beer drinker, you know.
Yeah to me, Well, you know, I just listened to
that lovely voice, and I think he's refined and cultured.
I expect him to be a red wine drinker class
or something, you know, like a fifty dollars bottle of pinos.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, I've seen him in action. He is an absolute.
Speaker 12 (23:22):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Auckland councilor is giving very different views on new density rules.
That's right.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
So now I think I've mentioned this earlier this week,
that the rules. But the new thing is is that
it's going out for consultation now because they had that meeting.
So it's going to see ten to fifteen story developments
near transport hubs in town centers, fewer developments in the
natural hazard areas. So Counselor Shane Henderson says that look,
more housing is a vital part of having a world
class city. He says, Look, we could lose far too
(23:50):
many people to Australia because people just can't set down
roots here. And now Mike Lee's come into it. He says, Look,
Counselors has sold out Auckland is to a peace central government,
not howe for democracy. These are his words for the
Council to go along and with everything that the government sets.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So more aargie bargie from the council. Friday weather we look.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
And good right mainly fine, yay yay yay, morning frost,
chilted places, a bit of afternoon cloud, no rain. No.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Fourteen is the high brilliant you've enjoyed Neva. It is
eighteen minutes away from six. This is a text from
Lee Lisa's Ryan, thank you so much for bringing up
this issue about the car parks, because it's just having
a big winge before about how they're too narrow. Well, well,
the car parks haven't changed sides, but the cars are
getting bigger. They're growing one centimeter wider every two years
because of all the safety crap that they put on them.
(24:35):
These I suppose they keep you alive and not crap. Anyway,
Thank you so much for bringing this up. Ryan. I
had just a regular sized car, and when I went
to leave them all yesterday, I had a massive van
type car thing on either side of me. I had
to go and find a security guard to watch while
I tried to back out of my space. I contacted
them all after and spoke to someone and asked that
they could possibly have a whole flour for smaller cars.
(24:58):
I certainly won't be going back to that all again.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Lee.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
We can't have a whole floor for small cars. Cars
are getting cars are getting bigger and bigger. Maybe they
could have a section like you know how they have
the section for people with a disability, and then you've
got your babies, your mums with babies. Maybe you have
a small car section too and the rest should be
absolutely enormous. It is seventeen to six News Talk sa'd
(25:23):
be Vincent mcavinie out of the UK.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Next International correspondence with Ens and Eye Insurance Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Fourteen minutes away from six, we'll get to the Air
Force choppers and planes in a second Gaza city though
the Palestinians are moving out as the IDF prepares to
move in. Vincent mcavini's our UK Europe correspondent, Vincent, what
about the hostages? This is the big worry from those
in Israel, right Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
I've been speaking to hostage families today and they're extremely
concerned because Gaza City has been though it's had strikes
from the air, hasn't had sort of a ground incursion
during this whole war. So they're worried. With the IDF
now gearing up to go in in large numbers. They've
caught up sixty thousand. Reserve that this will mean that
the hostages are executed or they'll be caught up in
(26:10):
the firing as those forces try to get down into
the tunnel network where it's believed the last of Hamas
really remains Russia.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're going at it healthily that this is the biggest
campaign in several weeks, to spite all the talk over
the last wee while.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (26:26):
To five hundred and seventy four drones launched overnight forty
missiles on Ukraine, at least one person killed and several
dozen have been injured. It goes to show that really
you can't take Vladimir Putin at his word. Only a
week ago he was heading to Alaska for that meeting
with Trump. Then we have another meeting at the White
House with Europeans and Atlantic on Monday. Now it seems
(26:47):
that this is all a stall for time because you've
got Lavrov who is their foreign secretary coming out and
saying any support in future that is given to Ukraine
needs to have a sign off from Russia. They are
trying it seems to agitate things. Seeing the idea of
having a meeting, a triactual meeting between Zelansky, Putin and
Trump is not something that needs to come about imminently.
So just concern that really what Plutin is trying to
(27:09):
do is grind down Ukraine even further.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Appreciate your time, Vincent, Thank you. Vincent Macavini are UK
europe correspondent. Twelve away from six Great Dublin's gone shopping
for some new planes and choppers two point seven billion dollars.
It'll set us back. Our old seven five seven is
going to be replaced by two new Airbus planes A
three twenty one's and we're buying five new Seahawk helicopters
equipped with anti submarine torpedo systems with Judith Collins loves
(27:34):
to talk about Joshua Needa is a retired lieutenant colonel
and security expert with me this morning, Good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
What the choppers, the Seahawk helicopters, what exactly do we
use them for? Will we use them for.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
Well, they will be part of the capability initially for
the frigates we have and I guess the next platform
that the Defense forced BIS. But essentially they are a
submarine hunting aircraft. But they also can do a number
of other tasks and I think in the Pacific most
of the use for our aircraft in the Pacific search
and rescue and also humanitarian assistance, disaster relief. But essentially
(28:14):
they are a military combat aircraft.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
And so they go hunt submarines and then they can
fire at them too.
Speaker 13 (28:21):
Oh yes, well, I mean that's part of the forces
remit is actually having offensive and defensive capabilities.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So yes, so the submarines know where they are and
can they fire at them.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
That's probably a question for sub mariners, but I mean
it is a cat and mouse game. I mean, you've
got aircraft, they are above the water. They do have
a number of sonar capabilities which they can dip into
the water. Of course, most submarines would rather remain stealthy
and not be found.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
A lot of people yesterday were asking why aren't we
buying drones that humanitarian aspect of it, you know, the
fact that we need to accommodate for that as well.
Would that be a reason why?
Speaker 13 (29:03):
Well, if we look at the Defense Capability Plan that
is yet to come, there are drones which are assigned
for the Air Force in the coming iteration of the
Defense Capability Plan. What I would hope to see though,
is that aircraft these days are starting to be teamed,
which means they fly alongside or with other unmanned systems.
(29:24):
So that should be something that we see in the future.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
How important is it that we are now better aligned
with the aussi's and other forces.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
This is critical. Australia is our only ally and I
have to say this is this amount of money represents
nearly one quarter of the twelve billion dollars that was
announced earlier this year, So this is a significant amount
of money for a significant investment. Important to be interoperable
with Australia. They have these particular helicopters, as do the
(29:56):
US and other allies. But I think that buying our
our own equipment for our own purposes has to be
the central point here. If it aligns with other countries,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What about the US foreign military sales program, you know,
rather than going to a wider attender. We're jumping on
that list? Is that significant.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
Those who put together I think the user requirements would
have taken that into consideration. Because it is the US
system where we have to go through a foreign military
sales process. It's the same for everyone. The Australias go
through this in any other country. So there will be
a time period before we actually acquire them. What will
(30:35):
be important is the systems that we have here. We
have now the old c sprites, that they are maintained
and can still be operated.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Josh, appreciate your time this morning, Thanks for coming on
the show. That's Josh Bunetta. He's a retired lieutenant colonel
and security expert on the Air Force. Getting a bit
of an upgrade. Nine to six News Talk SEVB the news.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier
edition with Bridge and One Room Love Where you Live Newstalks.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
B News Talk said B there was a court in
New York you might remember this where that found Trump
was basically padding his financial statements. This is last year,
adding a bit of GST to his financial documents and
going to lenders and going to insurers and saying hey,
I'm worth this much. So it's all good. And the
court said, no, you've been padding. Well, the penalty was
three hundred and fifty five million dollars plus interest. That's
(31:27):
five hundred and fifteen half a billion US dollars. This
court appearls Court has come out and said that, you know,
that's too much, that's ridiculous, excessive, and the Eighth Amendment
in the United States Constitutions stops excessive bail and excessive fines,
tries to limit the power of the government basically to
punish people. The punishment has to fit the crime. So
(31:49):
they have said that is way too much, and they
basically dismissed it in its entirety, although there's still the
door open for him to come back there for others
to come back, I should say, because the appeals door
remains open. It's five to six. Mike is here on
a Friday morning morning.
Speaker 14 (32:04):
Mike, to be fair when you say they dismissed it
in its entirety, He's still guilty.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yes, of the crime, it's the punishment.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
What's interesting about the split in the judges is at
least one I think more than one said that it
shouldn't have even been a case. Others said it is
a case, but it shouldn't have been seen the way
it did. And then somebody else said it was fine.
But the important point is it was very clear that
the original judge was out to get them. So when
this happens, what's the payback for the judge? Because it
(32:34):
was clearly political, So what's the payback for the judge?
What happens to the judge because you've got to go
hire more lawyers to take it to appeal, et cetera.
It's costing you a fortune to be proved to be right.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
But well, it hasn't happened though, because they haven't said
that the judgment was wrong, just that punishment was wrong.
Well yeah, yeah, but the yeah.
Speaker 14 (32:50):
But the judge chased him and made him pay something
that he didn't need to pay. It was egregious, and
therefore there seems to be no comeback on a judge
who was clear politically motivated and driven to sink it
because half a billion dollars he was looking to sink
the company.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah he was, and affect all the real estate. But
the he should have just gone with a smaller fine,
and he probably would have gone exactly nothing. We wouldn't
be talking exactly. Scott robertson, all right, yep, oh, I'm sorry, Stapless.
I'm going to tell him that what do you want
to do? Don't touch them, leave them alone. You come
in here, and you don't you make a big fuss
(33:26):
about how clean or not clean the studio was? Yes,
do you use these staples?
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Of course?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Not?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Oh? Okay, whoever is doing it? Heather? Is it Heather?
Speaker 14 (33:36):
I don't know, let's just name it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Okay. Somebody is using the stapler in here, and I
use it every day, and I'm very fastidious at re
putting the staples back in. If I run out no.
Speaker 14 (33:47):
Staples, it doesn't surprise no, matte.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Do you think he's staples though? No, he doesn't.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
He gets is made to do it for him because
I don't think he knows how to use the staple.
But I don't touch Stapless. So don't don't come at me.
Why you were saying Razor, You didn't seem that interested
only the All Blacks coach. Scott robertson, after seven point thirty,
I'm telling him you don't like him, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:11):

The issues, the interviews and the inside. Ryan Bridge on
Earliership with one roof love, where you live news talks.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
There'd be good morning in a Sex after five. Great
to have your company on a Friday. Newtoppers and planes
for our Air Force. Vincent mcavinie in the UK for
us this morning. Sam Akerman on the AB's team naming
happening seven point thirty this morning. First home buyers are
on the march. We have a new cotality report and
Trump is going on a police patrol in Washington, d C. Tonight.
(00:30):
Look out.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's Friday, the twenty second of August. Palestivians and getting
out of Gaza City. The idea is moving in.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
What the ADF does is of all we surround the
area and then we throw leaflets from the air and
also sent tax messages to Gaze on the go live
from district or that street in this time and that dame.
And after that what we did on our soldiers. What
I was told with AFT in Gaza is that there
isn't any civilians of it. The only one who we
named Ham or Jadick, Extam or other armed factions meaning
(01:03):
you can shoot everywhere now.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Nitan Yahoo is going to approve these military plans later today.
The fighting ramping up in Ukraine as well, Russia's biggest
bombing campaign in weeks. Overnight.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Overnight, more than five hundred and seventy four drones forty missiles.
The whole of the country was affected. Eleven different sights
across the country were hit.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
So much for the peace talks, you wes. Celebrity judge
Frank Caprio, known as the nicest judge in the world,
has died at the age of eighty eight. You might
have seen his stuff online clips of it online. His
TV show Caught in Providence went viral for mixing compassion
with justice, racking up billions of views.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Now we're talking about your father right now, you're going
to say guilty or not guilty? What do you say?
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Guilty?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Guilty?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
We all have waste challenges. We can face them in
two ways. We can either crumble and succumb to them,
or we can raise above them. You know, and I'm
sure you have the strengthen the was to raise above them.
The one thing you don't have to worry about these tickets.
He's going to get dismiss.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The first word on the news of the day early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one route love where you live.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
News talks that'd be he did seem like a lovely man.
Eight after five, Paul says, why does Luxon need two jumbos?
These are the planes that the Air Force is getting, well,
not just for lux and are they Yes, they can
carry passengers, but you also get cargo in underneath the
main thing. Well, I mean there are lots of reasons
why they're getting them, but the range on them is good.
You can get down to Antarctica and back if the
(02:35):
conditions are too bad to land. Because when you go
to Antarctic there's a point of no return. And I
had the pleasure of going down there as a reporter,
the displeasure of sharing a room with Barry Soper, who
did nothing but snare. But going down there there's a
point of no return, and it's kind of scary because
you go, well, what if the weather changes after the point.
(02:56):
It suddenly changes, as it's prone to do in Antarctica.
After the point and no return, you got no choice
but to land, So then it'd be really heary. But
you get loads of flights that go to go halfway there,
turn around, halfway there, turnaround so this would about. This
means you're able to go there where there's crap, turn
around and come back. I think it was about eight
hours to get down there. You're on news talks, they'd
(03:17):
be this morning. The Greens, they talk more than any
other party in Parliament about trolls and abuse and safety
concerns for MPs, all that stuff. So here along comes
and across the Aisle Bill to better protect MP's in
their homes and people in their homes. It would basically
ban protesting outside a person's residence i e. A place
(03:38):
where someone is sleeping and their family might be sleeping.
And you might think this is a good idea. You
might think the Greens would get on board all for it,
all over it. No, all the misogyny that they get,
all the vile abuse they say they receive on a
daily basis. They say it's so bad that women aren't
standing for office, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yesterday
they came out so they won't support it. Why because
(04:02):
what they love more than safety is winging and waving placards.
That's in their DNA. They're basically worried they won't be
able to shout and scream and wave banners outside Premier
House in Thornton where the Prime Minister sleeps. Sometimes there's
a speaker's flat in Parliament. And this is the interesting part.
And they're worried that people won't be able to protest
outside param wh It's just ridiculous. Of course they will.
(04:23):
They won't happen, and it would be sorted out in
a Select committee anyway. So the fact that they've come
out this early in the piece and said not supporting
this bill, we don't like it tells you what their
real passion is, wandering the streets shouting, live streaming to
TikTok and amassing a bunch of followers. After five news talks,
(04:44):
there'd be we'll talk first home Buyers next.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with
Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you Live. News
talks d be five.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Point thirteen on news Talks. There'd be some good news
for farmers out yesterday from fonn Terror. They're increasing their
price in their range, so they give you a price
which is basically the midpoint of their range. So the
price increasing. Forecast farm gate milk price increasing from ten
bucks per kilogram milk solace to ten fifteen so nextra
fifteen cents. The range narrowed from nine dollars seventy to
(05:18):
ten dollars thirty per milligrams to ten ten to ten twenty.
So this is good news farmers. More good news farmers.
Prices are good, the sales book is looking good and healthy.
Exchange rate uncertainty. The final number they will confirm when
they do their results that is coming September. Bran Bread
five fifteen. So first home buy is accounted for twenty
(05:40):
seven percent of the market in July. This is way
above their long term average of twenty one to twenty
two percent. And your movers, these are your owner occupiers
selling and rebuying pretty consistent, same levels we've seen we
saw during the global financial crisis. So this is new
data out this morning from Cotality. And David Cunningham is
Chief Squirrel at Squirrel Mortgages. David, good morning, Right, so
(06:05):
they're getting on the ladder. What are they buying?
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Well, houses?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What are we? Units? Are we? Are we? You know?
Small ones?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
No?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Well, the thing about the first time buyer market at
the moment is it's really a goldilocks market. They've got
so much choice because there's a lot of stuff on
the market. Fircely there's no urgency because houses aren't selling
as fast as they were. You know, go bout three years,
you know, post COVID, if you didn't make an offer,
you know, when you saw the house, it was gone.
(06:35):
So you've got time, you've got choice. So on, interest
rates have come down, keep davior balances are higher, and
you've got this competition from both investors and movers too,
so you know, Goldilocks sign. It's bit like the farmers actually, and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You want to get in there quick, done you before
prices start going back up again. There's the rest I've.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Heard the down Yeah yeah, yeah, Look, coming back back
to your earlier question, what are they buying? Well, they've
got choice, so you know they are buying. You know,
it's typical. When I bought my first house, it was
a bit of a do up and and you know
the beauty is that there's time, time to time storad
of do it. But sorry, what was the question again?
Early in the morning, Let's.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Say I want to ask you about the o CR yesterday.
Do you think that that, I mean, what are you
expecting to see in terms of deals from banks in
the next couple of months.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Yeah, look, we'll see interest rates drift down abit. That's
what sort of happens. You know, your floating rate moves
worth the o CR literally on the day or even
beforehand or immediately after. But your fixed rates is where
everyone goes in New Zealand. You know, almost everyone's on
a fixed rate, and they're much lower than floating rates.
So there was anything surprised. The market a worth about
(07:54):
at least another core of percent of four coast drops
in the o CR than what was there before. So
wholesale rates fall by about that. Therefore retail rates will
fall fall by about that. So I think we'll get
to about four and a half percent, likely on the
one year, maybe even the two year, over the next
over the months head, assuming things played as they are.
It's you know, this challenge that the New Zealand economy
(08:15):
is a sort of pulse of activity and it's sort
of coming from the Egrey sector just needs to sort
of get us out of this gloomy mood.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Heh oh, something's got it, David. He appreciate your time
this morning. Thanks for being on the show, David Cunning
And as Chief Squirrel at Squirrel Mortgages. It is sixteen
after five on News Talks theb We'll get to your
texts next, and also Sam Ackerman on the Abs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with
Ryan Bridge and One roof Love where you Live, News Talks.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
The'd be news Talks. There'd be somebody here, says Ryan.
Why does the speaker have a room on site to
sleep at Parliament? Is that so Jerry can have a
snooze after having a pie and a coke at lunchtime?
They do have a who's in there? And I went,
I've been in there a couple of times actually, and
one time there was a speaker who was the Minister
of Wine and Cheese. Jonathan Hunt went on a tour
(09:09):
of the speaker's fate with Jonathan Hunt and he said
it was very weird. But he pointed out, oh look
there's the young bathroom. The queen has taken a number two.
There should she be talking about you're her representative in
New Zealand and you're talking about her doing her business.
I thought it was all very odd. Anyway, Yeah, it's
got I think two or three bedrooms. You can host
(09:32):
dignitaries there. There's sort of a formal dining room, so
it suits a purpose. But yeah, you can sleep there.
Adrian Uafi when he was in there, had a whole
bunch of Washington in one of the rooms. Didn't want
to let us in there. But you can sleep there
because if the house is running, not that the speakers
the one that sits in the speaker's seat all the time,
but I suppose there's some logic that if they need
(09:52):
to be called up and there's an urgent debate something
like that, they can be there on site. Just gone
twenty after five, gray Bridge. Rainy week and Buenos Aires
hasn't damped the spirits of the AB's ahead of Sunday's
tests against the Pumas. Raises going with one or two
more rookies for the rematch with the Pumas well. Is
he will find out seven thirty our time this morning.
Sam Ackerman as a sports commentator with me this morning,
(10:14):
Kay samyday, Ryan, good to have you on. What do
you reckons He's going to do this morning? Listen.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
One thing that Razer has printed on us, as we
can expect they expected, is very rare to come and
make some wild changes or throw a whole bunch of
rookies into this scenario. This Rugby Championship really all roads lead.
In the next game after this one against the spring Rocks,
that is the biggest game of the season. Don't expect
(10:41):
them to tinker too much with that side that ran
out in the first Test. So there will be a
few force changes through injury absence to the bench, but
outside of that it should be relatively consistently. Imagine Ryan
in their first starting fifteen.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What about Wallace the Tit and Tomato Williams back from injury.
Will we see them in the fifteen or will they
be bent?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I feel there's probably more likelihood that Williams will come
off the bench, but he's certainly capable of going straight
into that front row position. He played through injury in
the Super Rugby Final, so he has a high paying
threshold and he has been champion at the bit to
get back. I'd love to see him start, but my
I just feel like safety wise is most likely to
come off the bench, and it's for Titi. It's a
(11:22):
very settled starting loose Ford trio they have at the
moment who are playing well and I think Carrefi has
done well in that position, but I think so Titi,
You're right, is the most likely to come in to
that starting side. He is definitely part of the preferred
starting Loise Ford's in the eyes of many, and you'd
think you want to get some decent minutes under his
belt before he takes on the box in a few
(11:43):
weeks time.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Say in the first fifteen minutes of the second half
last weekend Bit week, it was he looking to firm
that up. I mean, how do you focus on that?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I definitely think they want to show that they can
put on a bit more fire and that they can
hold their consistency throughout the game, because this Argentine's side
can never be packing lightly. They have been in New
Zealand on New Zealand soil, not on Argentine soil. It's
I'm sure has driving them to a certain extent as well,
but they need to shore it up. They need to
make sure they have a consistency with their attack as well.
(12:16):
I think some smarter options when they get it, have
an opportunity to get out wide. It's fair to say
some of the outside backs didn't get a whole lot
of opportunities in that test match will be interested to
see if they're going to play to the same game
plan to try to nail it or very things up.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Along the way. They seem largely back on track. How
long till we get that real shock and war that
you expect from a Robertson team.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah, it feels like we've been waiting for that for
quite a while. Ryan. The concept of this all that
side kicking into gear and ruthlessly dismantling side that we've
seen in the past that we used to be all
excited about the last twenty minutes where they could put
any team away, Well, it certainly hasn't always been the
case in recent years there, so I would love this
to be a comprehensive performance. Most of all, they need
(13:00):
to walk away from this game with real confidence that.
I don't want to keep looking ahead to the next game,
because you do have to get past so you've got
in front of you. But that Eden Park Test, the
record that's been held there for so long. They do
not want to be the team that loses the Eden
Park record. So every step they take here in the
back of their mind and certainly the fans mind, will
(13:20):
be the Eden Park Test.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, looking forward to that one. Sam. Thank you, Sam Ackerman,
sports commentator on the show this morning. The team name
in this morning at seven thirty twenty three after five
Ray Bread So Labor. You might have seen this in
the news yesterday. Labor Party is actually ruling something out
for a start, which is news that's a headline because
they've not ruled anything in or anything out. And I
(13:43):
see that. Matthew Houton has a good column out in
the Herald this morning, as he usually does, pointing out
that their best chance to getting back into the Treasury
benches is to just do nothing, say nothing, and hope
that Reserve banks optimistic expectations for the economy turn out
to be wrong. Anyway, Lay yesterday, get yourself into a
bit of a pickle because clearly so that they've ruled
(14:05):
something out, but clearly they're not all an agreeance on it.
Penny Hennade goes to a candidate's meeting, This is for
the Tammacki Makoto by election and ordering any competer from PARTI.
Marti's there and someone asked the question, are you going
to reverse the ban on gang patches?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Will you repeal the gang patch law?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
If you was come into government, yes or no.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Means yes for those who are uncertain. So there you go.
Penny Henade wants to reverse the ban on gang patches,
and then a couple of minutes later Cipiloni comes out
and smacks it down. No, no, we have no intention
to repeal that legislation.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
We did oppose the bill in the House, and so
I'm wondering whether that led them to that conclusion.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So that begs the question was it a good idea? Clearly?
I mean the police think it was a good idea.
They say they're making arrest, they're making headway. Labor obviously
now thinks it's a good idea too, So are they
going to go and Congress to late the government? Twenty
five minutes after five, you're on News Talks MB.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
The early edition Full the Show podcast on Iron Art
Radio powered by NEWSTALKSB.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Five twenty seven News Talk ZBB. We'll talk air Force
planes and trappers before six. But this morning I have
had it with car parks so small you couldn't fit
a shopping trolley in them. What exactly do they think
We're driving go carts? No, people are buying big cars, utes,
station wagons, SUVs. They are all hanging over the white
(15:32):
lines on the side, or they're punching out the back
onto the road behind them. The Spinoff wrote about this
problem last week the Civic and Auckland is one of
the worst offenders, and yesterday, driving along, I saw a
pregnant woman trying to squeeze herself, a handbag and an
unborn baby out of a sedan and a building car park.
She was literally using the handbag as a shield to
(15:54):
protect her belly from the car door. Are we trying
to send these people into early labor? Apparently, new cars
are getting a centimeter wider every two years. People like
bigger cars, they feel safer, and we're also getting way
more obese. We're getting fatter, so we literally can't fit
into a Honda Civic anymore. The side impact protection on
(16:15):
new cars is apparently taking up lots of the extra space.
Are councils and Wilson's doing anything about this? No, they're not.
Are we expected to just bend, fold and stretch our
way into our cars like Ninja's? Are they going to
pay for the physio appointments? Should we take yoga classes?
A Colchester council listen in the UK. They've apparently spent
(16:37):
a million pounds repainting white lines to make their car
parks bigger. Good on them. The panel beaters must love it.
We need fewer parks and more room. So let's start
a movement New Zealand. Let's stop this madness together. We
can help that pregnant woman. We can save our bad backs.
I've got one our dicky knees the elderly. For goodness sakes,
(17:00):
give me common sense and a bigger car park. Ryan
Bridge twenty nine after five News TALKSB come out next
to talk to Vincent mcavinie. Will have our reporters around
the country and the world's oldest person marks her birthday today.
Ethel Katahim one hundred and sixteen years old today. Born
on the twenty first of August nineteen o nine. She
(17:22):
was born five years before the start of the First
World War. What's her secret? Well, she's not saying why
because she's not doing any interviews. She just wants to
enjoy the day on her own. Good on you, Happy birthday, Ethel.
News TALKSB, News.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And Views you trust to start your day. It's early
edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where you
Live News Talks B.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Welcome to your Friday on News Talk SAB. It's twenty
four minutes away from six wiel talk the Air Force
new planes and helicopters before six o'clock this morning. Vincent
macavinie with us from the UK. This is about Russia.
You know, you have a week of diplomacy and then boom,
biggest strikes from them in a week. It's sorry, in
weeks and you start to ask yourself, is this like
(18:27):
positioning for a deal? Are they going all at it
helpful either positioning for a deal or are they just
doing whatever the hell they want. Lavrov are overnight shutting
down this idea of you that you would need and
get European troops in Ukraine post some sort of settlement
as a backstop. He's calling this foreign intervention and you
(18:49):
just I mean, of course there have to be some
European troops in there, otherwise the Russians will just go
in and do what they've done time and time again,
which has crossed the border with their tanks, and do
whatever the hell they want. Vince mcavenie will have the
latest on that for us in a couple of minutes time.
It's now twenty three minutes to six o'clock, Bryan Bridge,
(19:10):
and let's go to our reporters around the country. We
start this morning and Needin, who we gotten too? Needin?
This morning? Callum is there? Calum? Good morning? What's happening?
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Needing? Mate? Yep? Callums here morning? Right, We're good look
qe wee.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
Kids, it's been discovered by more research out of a
Tiger university are exposed to nearly two hundred and fifty
percent more unhealthy marketing messages than healthy ones. This study
tracked twelve year olds. They were wearing cameras to capture
what was essentially an unfiltered view of the advertising that
children see in any given day. And what it's revealed
(19:49):
is that our youth are exposed to unhealthy food, alcohol,
and gambling marketing seventy six times a day. The researchers
say a lot of that marketing is around childre's environments
as well, like schools, where they should be free of
that messaging. And they say that children in the most
deprived areas of New Zealand are seeing the bulk of
those messages. Okay, how's your weather morning, cloud and frost's
(20:12):
clear to find for our Friday. Westerly is easing the
high thirteen today.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Have a good one. Claire's and christ Church Morning, clear morning.
Now is the council bullying the.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
Homeless, Well, that's certainly the claim. Here in christ Church, Ryan,
We've got at least ten people who have been living
in the car park of a church at Avonside, Holy
Trinity Church. Some of them have been there for up
to a year. There are tents, there are campers, you know,
various different setups in their. Council though, has issued an
abatement notice to stop them using that car park as
a campground by five o'clock this afternoon. Now, Council's firm
(20:44):
that an extension is possible, but only if a new
resource consent which would allow camping is obtained. That's looking unlikely.
That need things like kitchen facilities and bathrooms and things
provided on site. I stopped in there yesterday afternoon. Community
worker River Rain says, look and everyone associated with the
church are happy with the community being there. They are
working with some good people at council to work through
(21:06):
the issues. But the homeless community who were there and
one of them, I spoke with Christina Katatiane she's been
living there for a few weeks now. She says, look,
we're doing no harm. We've got nowhere else to go.
She wants counsel to leave them alone and to perhaps
even go down there and spend some time there to
understand the situation there in and exactly how they're feeling.
She is who has claimed that they are bullies.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
How's your weather clear?
Speaker 10 (21:30):
Frosty? There is the chance of some more showers today
then clearing too fine about mid day a high of twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
All right, you enjoy that New Zealand's biggest beer festival
begins in Wellington this morning. And were crossing live to
Ambassador Max tole Max, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
How did you know?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well, I just I took a look at you and
I took a guest.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Well, it was a good guess, because I'm not ashamed
to say I go to beer Vana every year, and
I will be going this evening. It does seem though
year on yere it is slightly trending in the wrong direction,
not surprising in this current economic climate. About twelve thousand
people are expected to attend the four sessions, two sessions
a day, that's today and tomorrow. A similar number of
(22:09):
breweries are going to be there sixty five to seventy ish,
but a couple of years ago you were getting a
few thousand more through the door. A few of the
bigger New Zealand breweries as well tend to skip BERV
a year on year due to cost travel, cost staffing.
Perhaps they don't feel they need to be there. It's
essential to be showing their faces, you know. But hey,
I still love it. I'll be trying some sort of
(22:30):
for Joe and milkshake, ipa sour or something. I'm sure tonight, yeah,
today and tomorrow at sky Stadium.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's never appere There's the thing, it's at the stadium.
The location has always put me off because the thought
of you're standing up for hours and then basically just
walking around a concrete conquest, you know.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Yeah, so it is more for purists than you would say,
you know, beers at the basin, which is you get
your casuals in there who want to soak up the
sun and listen to a bit of music. This is
the Beer Purist Festival. How's your weather?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Partly cloudy?
Speaker 11 (22:58):
Southerly's eleven the high Central.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Enjoyed today, Max, Thank you Neivas here in Auckland. Hey, Neva, Hello,
Max seems.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Too refined for to be a beer drinker, you know.
Yeah to me, Well, you know, I just listened to
that lovely voice, and I think he's refined and cultured.
I expect him to be a red wine drinker class
or something, you know, like a fifty dollars bottle of pinos.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, I've seen him in action. He is an absolute.
Speaker 12 (23:22):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Auckland councilor is giving very different views on new density rules.
That's right.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
So now I think I've mentioned this earlier this week,
that the rules. But the new thing is is that
it's going out for consultation now because they had that meeting.
So it's going to see ten to fifteen story developments
near transport hubs in town centers, fewer developments in the
natural hazard areas. So Counselor Shane Henderson says that look,
more housing is a vital part of having a world
class city. He says, Look, we could lose far too
(23:50):
many people to Australia because people just can't set down
roots here. And now Mike Lee's come into it. He says, Look,
Counselors has sold out Auckland is to a peace central government,
not howe for democracy. These are his words for the
Council to go along and with everything that the government sets.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So more aargie bargie from the council. Friday weather we look.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
And good right mainly fine, yay yay yay, morning frost,
chilted places, a bit of afternoon cloud, no rain. No.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Fourteen is the high brilliant you've enjoyed Neva. It is
eighteen minutes away from six. This is a text from
Lee Lisa's Ryan, thank you so much for bringing up
this issue about the car parks, because it's just having
a big winge before about how they're too narrow. Well, well,
the car parks haven't changed sides, but the cars are
getting bigger. They're growing one centimeter wider every two years
because of all the safety crap that they put on them.
(24:35):
These I suppose they keep you alive and not crap. Anyway,
Thank you so much for bringing this up. Ryan. I
had just a regular sized car, and when I went
to leave them all yesterday, I had a massive van
type car thing on either side of me. I had
to go and find a security guard to watch while
I tried to back out of my space. I contacted
them all after and spoke to someone and asked that
they could possibly have a whole flour for smaller cars.
(24:58):
I certainly won't be going back to that all again.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Lee.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
We can't have a whole floor for small cars. Cars
are getting cars are getting bigger and bigger. Maybe they
could have a section like you know how they have
the section for people with a disability, and then you've
got your babies, your mums with babies. Maybe you have
a small car section too and the rest should be
absolutely enormous. It is seventeen to six News Talk sa'd
(25:23):
be Vincent mcavinie out of the UK.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Next International correspondence with Ens and Eye Insurance Peace of
mind for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Fourteen minutes away from six, we'll get to the Air
Force choppers and planes in a second Gaza city though
the Palestinians are moving out as the IDF prepares to
move in. Vincent mcavini's our UK Europe correspondent, Vincent, what
about the hostages? This is the big worry from those
in Israel, right Yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:48):
I've been speaking to hostage families today and they're extremely
concerned because Gaza City has been though it's had strikes
from the air, hasn't had sort of a ground incursion
during this whole war. So they're worried. With the IDF
now gearing up to go in in large numbers. They've
caught up sixty thousand. Reserve that this will mean that
the hostages are executed or they'll be caught up in
(26:10):
the firing as those forces try to get down into
the tunnel network where it's believed the last of Hamas
really remains Russia.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're going at it healthily that this is the biggest
campaign in several weeks, to spite all the talk over
the last wee while.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 12 (26:26):
To five hundred and seventy four drones launched overnight forty
missiles on Ukraine, at least one person killed and several
dozen have been injured. It goes to show that really
you can't take Vladimir Putin at his word. Only a
week ago he was heading to Alaska for that meeting
with Trump. Then we have another meeting at the White
House with Europeans and Atlantic on Monday. Now it seems
(26:47):
that this is all a stall for time because you've
got Lavrov who is their foreign secretary coming out and
saying any support in future that is given to Ukraine
needs to have a sign off from Russia. They are
trying it seems to agitate things. Seeing the idea of
having a meeting, a triactual meeting between Zelansky, Putin and
Trump is not something that needs to come about imminently.
So just concern that really what Plutin is trying to
(27:09):
do is grind down Ukraine even further.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Appreciate your time, Vincent, Thank you. Vincent Macavini are UK
europe correspondent. Twelve away from six Great Dublin's gone shopping
for some new planes and choppers two point seven billion dollars.
It'll set us back. Our old seven five seven is
going to be replaced by two new Airbus planes A
three twenty one's and we're buying five new Seahawk helicopters
equipped with anti submarine torpedo systems with Judith Collins loves
(27:34):
to talk about Joshua Needa is a retired lieutenant colonel
and security expert with me this morning, Good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
What the choppers, the Seahawk helicopters, what exactly do we
use them for? Will we use them for.
Speaker 13 (27:49):
Well, they will be part of the capability initially for
the frigates we have and I guess the next platform
that the Defense forced BIS. But essentially they are a
submarine hunting aircraft. But they also can do a number
of other tasks and I think in the Pacific most
of the use for our aircraft in the Pacific search
and rescue and also humanitarian assistance, disaster relief. But essentially
(28:14):
they are a military combat aircraft.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
And so they go hunt submarines and then they can
fire at them too.
Speaker 13 (28:21):
Oh yes, well, I mean that's part of the forces
remit is actually having offensive and defensive capabilities.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So yes, so the submarines know where they are and
can they fire at them.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
That's probably a question for sub mariners, but I mean
it is a cat and mouse game. I mean, you've
got aircraft, they are above the water. They do have
a number of sonar capabilities which they can dip into
the water. Of course, most submarines would rather remain stealthy
and not be found.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
A lot of people yesterday were asking why aren't we
buying drones that humanitarian aspect of it, you know, the
fact that we need to accommodate for that as well.
Would that be a reason why?
Speaker 13 (29:03):
Well, if we look at the Defense Capability Plan that
is yet to come, there are drones which are assigned
for the Air Force in the coming iteration of the
Defense Capability Plan. What I would hope to see though,
is that aircraft these days are starting to be teamed,
which means they fly alongside or with other unmanned systems.
(29:24):
So that should be something that we see in the future.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
How important is it that we are now better aligned
with the aussi's and other forces.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
This is critical. Australia is our only ally and I
have to say this is this amount of money represents
nearly one quarter of the twelve billion dollars that was
announced earlier this year, So this is a significant amount
of money for a significant investment. Important to be interoperable
with Australia. They have these particular helicopters, as do the
(29:56):
US and other allies. But I think that buying our
our own equipment for our own purposes has to be
the central point here. If it aligns with other countries,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
What about the US foreign military sales program, you know,
rather than going to a wider attender. We're jumping on
that list? Is that significant.
Speaker 13 (30:15):
Those who put together I think the user requirements would
have taken that into consideration. Because it is the US
system where we have to go through a foreign military
sales process. It's the same for everyone. The Australias go
through this in any other country. So there will be
a time period before we actually acquire them. What will
(30:35):
be important is the systems that we have here. We
have now the old c sprites, that they are maintained
and can still be operated.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Josh, appreciate your time this morning, Thanks for coming on
the show. That's Josh Bunetta. He's a retired lieutenant colonel
and security expert on the Air Force. Getting a bit
of an upgrade. Nine to six News Talk SEVB the news.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You need this morning and the in depth analysis earlier
edition with Bridge and One Room Love Where you Live Newstalks.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
B News Talk said B there was a court in
New York you might remember this where that found Trump
was basically padding his financial statements. This is last year,
adding a bit of GST to his financial documents and
going to lenders and going to insurers and saying hey,
I'm worth this much. So it's all good. And the
court said, no, you've been padding. Well, the penalty was
three hundred and fifty five million dollars plus interest. That's
(31:27):
five hundred and fifteen half a billion US dollars. This
court appearls Court has come out and said that, you know,
that's too much, that's ridiculous, excessive, and the Eighth Amendment
in the United States Constitutions stops excessive bail and excessive fines,
tries to limit the power of the government basically to
punish people. The punishment has to fit the crime. So
(31:49):
they have said that is way too much, and they
basically dismissed it in its entirety, although there's still the
door open for him to come back there for others
to come back, I should say, because the appeals door
remains open. It's five to six. Mike is here on
a Friday morning morning.
Speaker 14 (32:04):
Mike, to be fair when you say they dismissed it
in its entirety, He's still guilty.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yes, of the crime, it's the punishment.
Speaker 14 (32:12):
What's interesting about the split in the judges is at
least one I think more than one said that it
shouldn't have even been a case. Others said it is
a case, but it shouldn't have been seen the way
it did. And then somebody else said it was fine.
But the important point is it was very clear that
the original judge was out to get them. So when
this happens, what's the payback for the judge? Because it
(32:34):
was clearly political, So what's the payback for the judge?
What happens to the judge because you've got to go
hire more lawyers to take it to appeal, et cetera.
It's costing you a fortune to be proved to be right.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
But well, it hasn't happened though, because they haven't said
that the judgment was wrong, just that punishment was wrong.
Well yeah, yeah, but the yeah.
Speaker 14 (32:50):
But the judge chased him and made him pay something
that he didn't need to pay. It was egregious, and
therefore there seems to be no comeback on a judge
who was clear politically motivated and driven to sink it
because half a billion dollars he was looking to sink
the company.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah he was, and affect all the real estate. But
the he should have just gone with a smaller fine,
and he probably would have gone exactly nothing. We wouldn't
be talking exactly. Scott robertson, all right, yep, oh, I'm sorry, Stapless.
I'm going to tell him that what do you want
to do? Don't touch them, leave them alone. You come
in here, and you don't you make a big fuss
(33:26):
about how clean or not clean the studio was? Yes,
do you use these staples?
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Of course?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Not?
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Oh? Okay, whoever is doing it? Heather? Is it Heather?
Speaker 14 (33:36):
I don't know, let's just name it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Okay. Somebody is using the stapler in here, and I
use it every day, and I'm very fastidious at re
putting the staples back in. If I run out no.
Speaker 14 (33:47):
Staples, it doesn't surprise no, matte.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Do you think he's staples though? No, he doesn't.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
He gets is made to do it for him because
I don't think he knows how to use the staple.
But I don't touch Stapless. So don't don't come at me.
Why you were saying Razor, You didn't seem that interested
only the All Blacks coach. Scott robertson, after seven point thirty,
I'm telling him you don't like him, all right.
