Speaker 1 (00:01):
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier issue with one Root Love where you Live News
Talk Zibi.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning, it is Monday, it is six after five.
Great to have your company this morning. Coming up. Mark
Mitchell on this correction story the drones in Europe. Hu
Jinping wants a Taiwan for trade deal with Trump plus
great and wikis great, and wikis forgive me. She's spoken
out about Dame Knowles. Andrew Orderson has all of that
in Sport.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's Monday, the twenty ninth of September. Another Putin blitz
on Ukraine. Five hundred drones, forty missiles, twelve hours, seven regions,
four dead, including a twelve year old girl in Keith.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Ukraine's air defenses have once again been overwhelmed. And this
is the difference between Moscow and Kiev. Russia is able
to manufacture drones in such large quantities and Ukraine is
less able to. It is reliant on its western allies.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
To the US. There's backlash, of course, to Trump sending
the troops into Portland.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Oregon has not requested any federal assistance and nor do
we need it. President Trump's inconceivable insistence that we need
federal troops in Portland does not address the real concerns
in our communities.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
To the Women's Rugby World Cup, England get a third
title after thrashing Canada thirty three thirteen at Twickenham. England's
other champion, our Black Ferns, by the way, took bronze,
holding off France forty two to twenty six over the weekend.
At just eighteen years old, Braxton Sorenson McGee was named
World Rugby Women's fifteens Breakthrough Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Actually didn't think that I will be close to that
at the beginning of the tournament, but here now I'm
grateful for how.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Hard I work for it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also on the Agenda on your radio. On the Agenda
this week we're expecting the Frontier Report on the energy sector.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Views and Views you Trust to start your day's early
edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof Love where you live.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
News talks that'd be which will come to not much
by the well, I mean not much, but it's not
going to break up the gen tailors in case that's
what anyone is hoping for. Also, the Palestine thing, which
I told you this is what would happen, and it happened,
but over the weekend the muted response from the international media.
I mean, of all the fuss that was made about it,
(02:25):
there was very little reporting and international press about our decisions.
So how important, how significant was New Zealand's stance on
that particular issue. Well you have to question it, wouldn't you.
Now another correction story out today, This one says we've
got more prisoners in jail than we forecast to have
more of them might have to double bunk. Most Keywis,
I think, will give absolutely zero cares about that. We
(02:48):
all know how hard it is to get into prison,
don't we. You don't get there by jaywalking, and we
elected the government to go and do something about that.
So when people complain about the prison population going up,
I think most keys don't care. In fact, I think
most Keyi's probably you know, they don't think about it
a lot, but you're probably happy, you know better, they're
in there the next door to me. And this thing
(03:10):
about rehabilitation, no government has ever been good at rehabilitating prisoners.
I mean, they offer it, but to get help, you've
got to want it, don't you. I was listening over
the weekend two. I don't know, don't ask me why.
But Joe Biden when he was a senator back in
the nineties, and just the alignment between the left and
right on corrections and on justice and on prisons.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society.
The end result is they're about to knock my mother
on the head with the lad pipe, shoot my sister,
beat up my wife, take on my sons. So I
don't want to ask what made them do this. They
must be taken off the street.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Interesting, isn't it. And he's certainly changed his tune when
he was in the White House. Mark Mitchell on this
before just gone ten after five. Now coming up next,
we'll talk to Andrew Sport Monday morning and lots to
talk about. Obviously there was the abs, but also this
Grace and Wiki at the weekend. This was last night
in fact against South Africa. She comes out on stage
(04:17):
and says, hey, Dame Knowles, we want you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Back, views and views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
where you Live News Talk said be.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Twelve after five on early edition, Great to be back
with you. Was on drive last week, not on holiday,
just in case anyone was wondering about how often I'm
skiving off anyway, Grace and Wiki has after the game
with South Africa last night pretty much said you're welcome back,
Dame Knowles. Knowles, we love you and we miss you
and we want you back here. You've done so much
(04:50):
less and you've done this but to be here, And
isn't that interesting? So who It's obviously not Grace that
had a problem Dame Knowles. Otherwise she presumably otherwise she
wouldn't be saying it. So which of the team had
the problem with Dame Knowles. We're still sort of in
the dark on all of this, and what is Netbull
to have to bring her back? One't they? Thirteen after
five Andrew Ordison on Sport on that next Ryan Bridge,
(05:13):
the world has heard New Zealand's verdict on Palestinian statehood,
with a war.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Raging, her Maas still in place and no clarity on
next steps. We did not think that time is now.
Recognizing Palestine now will likely prove counterproductive. That is har
Maas resisting negotiation in the belief that it is winning
(05:41):
the global propaganda war.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Labor in the Greens hit back, of course, saying it's
morally reprehensible what the government's done. Jeffrey Miller is foreign
policy analyst with US this morning. Jeffrey, good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
I wasn't at all surprised by this with you.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
I was a little surprised because in the end, we've
got one hundred and fifty seven members of the UN
out of one hundred and ninety three recognizing a Palestinian state,
and New Zealand has decided not to be one of them.
And New Zealand is quite an outlier now and it
is really at odds Ryan, with the policies that New
Zealand has taken and the approach and its approach for
the war in Gaza, because New Zealand has tended to
(06:18):
side with the likes of the United Kingdom and Canada,
Australia throughout the war. It's the issue numerous joint statements,
it's voted with them. It's surprising in that sense.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Isn't it? More technical? Like Hamas remaining the de facto
government in Gaza, what are you actually recognizing? And the
other argument, why would they give up arms or go
for a ceasefire when they're gaining so much on the
propaganda front.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Well, look, that's the argument from the government that there's
no real viable state to recognize, and that Hamas is
still in control of a good part of the Palestinian territories,
in other words, in Gaza, and therefore that's why the
government can't recognize the Palestinian state right now. But I
think than really is missing the moment. In a sense.
What we're looking at here is an expression of will
(07:05):
from the international community for a Palestinian state to exist.
And just as we talk about Israel's right to exist,
this was about Palestine's right to exist. And New Zealand
has made his decision. I think it will be very
interesting in the coming days and weeks. Winston Peters will
need to explain that decision further. The chrystoph Luxe will
need to explain that decision further, not just domestically in
(07:26):
New Zealand, although that will be very important given that
the decision was revealed only in New York, but internationally
as well to New Zealand's friends and partners. So Winston Peters,
who is very much a fan of getting out there
and traveling as much as possible as Foreign Minister. He
will be asked questions about this when he travels. He'll
be asked why New Zealand decided to sit it out,
and he will have answers to that. And one of
(07:48):
the answers that he said was that we needed action,
not words. That needs to be dialogue, diplomacy, leadership. Those
are the words that Christopher Luxeon also used. So I'd
like to see New Zealand take a more active role
and role. If New Zealand's position is when we need
a viable state and we need a ceasefire, then I
think New zer needs to be redoubling its efforts to
(08:08):
contribute to that effort to bring about a ceasefire in
a longer lasting solution, a political solution, a two state
solution in them in the least, Jeffrey, the only answer.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I appreciate your time this morning just for Miller Foreign
policy analyst time is sixteen after five Moldov people watching
this one closely this morning. This is basically the country
wedge between Ukraine and a Romania on the Black Sea.
Two point four million people there. Are they going to
continue on their path to EU membership, which is what
they voted for in a referendum or are they going
(08:36):
to veer back towards Putin and Russia current leader's Pro
West is the pivot going to happen. There's a couple
of old school Soviets nostalgic type parties which have gathered
together and are trying to take down this pro Western
party that's in power. The Pro West Party held them
off in twenty twenty, so can they do that again.
(08:58):
That's when we're watching This Morning Sport.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Next the news you need this Morning and the in
depth analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root
Love where you Live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That'd be five nineteen. It's Monday morning. That means Andrew Wills.
Since here was Sport Andrew, good morning, Greeting's right, good
to see what you come back? You may thank you,
good to be back. What did you make of the
AB's on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:20):
I thought there was a compelling test match? Actually what
thirty three twenty four in the ends? All blacks out
twenty three at one stage, But Australia under Joe Schmidt
just working their way back in but still Fortress Eden
Park s Days alive for another season.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Does Robertson get an easy go in? The media. I mean,
if it was Foster who was overseeing a team like this,
would the reaction be a little different.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
Yeah, I think he's probably got a bit more leeway,
hasn't he. But then it's it's I guess it's tightening
up on it, isn't it, And that the pressure continues
to mount as well. It never is relinquished with the
All Blacks, is that it's always on the expectation to win,
et cetera, and maintain the legacy and the jersey, et cetera,
et cetera. But I thought that was a philly compelling
(10:01):
reply to of course the match against South Africa where
it blew out the school line. They probably did it
for the first hour even in that match. But South
Africa is so dominant and of course leading the Rugby
Championship now as well after they win over Argentina, so
that they're they're the benchmark I think, and will rugby
at the moment.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What did you make of Grace and Wiki is fascinating
what she said last night.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
It is when you think about the supposed to troubles
and not suppose it. But there's been difficulties behind the
scenes there. But yeah, a real what would you call that?
Just the demand or desire to see Dame Noling told
her back in the mix, particularly for the Constellation Cup
coming up. And I think that's kind of interesting, like
a plea. Yeah, I mean helping Patment in the news,
(10:44):
but we'll hear more of it over the course in
the morning, but yeah, please come back a sap. So, yeah,
that's the demand from from Grace Wiki out there too
that they want to see Dave Noling back in the
coaching ranks allers forgiven.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The Ryder Cup singles about tea off and I saw
some of the biffo that happened at the weekend. It's
hardly golf, is it.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
It's quite intense and I don't know what this is
driven by really, but some of those fans pretty poorish
behavior really, and I mean Macroy giving it back to
them as well off the fairway there as if many
will have seen over the course of the weekend. But yeah,
the singles matches, but really it's been pretty comprehensive from
Team Europe. I mean playing away at Bethpage Black in
(11:27):
New York State. Well feel the intimidating environment from what
we've seen, but Team Europe not missing a beat really,
and what they've just got to win I think three
or at least two and a half, get two and
a half points, so when to maybe even draw one.
And they've got of those twelve singles matches this morning
and they've got it wrapped up so or at least retained.
But I can't see them missing to be honest.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, Lisa Adams has claimed world shot puts IF thirty
seven gold.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Yeah, so this has taken place in New Delhi after
the we're with an ex Champs in Tokyo last week
and Lisa Adams she retired in April twenty twenty four,
but it's back in the mix now, which is the
world record holder and also the olymp parslobic champion in
that IF thirty seven event to ride and yeah, throwing
three thirteen point eighty three meters first throw out and
(12:16):
that was enough to take it out.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Brilliant Andrew, Good to see you as always, lovely. We'll
hear more from you throughout the morning. Got the go
Andrew Wilson with Sport. It is twenty two minutes after five,
you're on news talks. He'd be coming up next. I'll
talk a little bit about the hybrid warfare that the
Russians are engaging and over in Europe, and after the
news at five point thirty, of course will catch up
with Neva, which is always a bit of fun on
a well any morning really, and we will also talk
(12:39):
to Gavin Gray in the UK about the drones, about
the fighter jets, I mean, what exactly are the Russians
up to?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power
Bay News Talks, ATV News Talks.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
There'd be It's five twenty five on your Monday morning.
Putin's playing a game of chicken with the Europeans, and
so far the Europeans are the chickens. They has pretty
much done nothing but talk about these fighter jets and
drones intercepted a couple take your pick of experts and
former military bosses chiming in on the why over the
weekend and you'll get as many different answers. Are these
(13:12):
incursions a mistake? No, there's too many of them now.
It's orchestrated clearly. So he's doing this for one of
two reasons, to keep more territory in Ukraine, freak the
Europeans a bit, they might buckle and give them more
of what he wants, or he's picking off countries one
by one to test the NATO response, lining up his
next target. Does NATO respond differently to a Polish incursion
(13:34):
than a Danish one? The point of NATO is that
it shouldn't matter. It should be all for one, one
for all. The question then becomes, how do you deal
with that? And you've got to listen to a guy
called Maritz Break. He's with the Center for Advanced Security,
Strategic and Integration Studies. He says, you've got to be
more forceful with the Russians, the Turks. They shot down
a Russian jet back in twenty fifteen. You might remember
(13:54):
that seconds after it entered their airspace. And guess what.
Putin didn't go to war with Turkey, did it. The
fighter pilots from Russia learned pretty quickly just whose airspace
belongs to who? Crayon Bridge Starma he's having a crack
at while he's having an interview doing the rounds in
the Sunday television interviews over in the UK and loves
(14:17):
his country.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
I love and have pride in my country, and I
want to serve the whole of our country, our beautiful tolerant,
diverse country.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And having a crack at farage. Of course, who's as
big as competition says is let's deport them policy.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
I do think that there's a racist policy. I do
think it's emoral. It needs to be called out for
what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now back in New Zealand, Little old New Zealand, we'll
talk to Gavin Gray about that. After news five point thirty,
Wayne Brown has come out and said. It's the front
page Herald this morning. Wayne Brown comes out and says
that the government's working on a secret harbor crossing plan NDTA,
keeping his counsel in the dark. There are secret studies
going on. He says, it's all a bit mysterious, a
(15:03):
bit like the drones over Europe. Actually, he says, this
is a quote. We know nothing. We don't even know
where their office is, we don't know who the consultants are.
It's bizarre, which I think is actually probably a good thing.
I mean, the less you tell Auckland Council and the
less say you give them, I think the better off
we all are. But anyway, the government's hit back. So
(15:23):
Bishop comes out and says, what are you talking about?
You have had a meeting with NZNTA about this. Maybe
Wayne forgot, I don't know. And he also says for
the last few months a barge has been operating in
the harbor to look at the ground and seabed conditions
to help inform decisions. By definition, this is hardly secret.
(15:44):
So there you go to the US. I thought I
would bring you up speed on what's happening with the shutdown.
This is basically it's that time of year, the US
government shutdown season, where Congress squabbles over spending before eventually
they agree at the eleventh hour to some deal. So
shutdown is meant to happen twelve oh one am Wednesday
this week our time, sorry, their time. Trump is planning
(16:08):
to meet later tonight our time in the Oval Office
with four of them, including the couple of Dems. Chuck
Schuman will be there, Hakim Jeffries will be there. And
this is all about a short term so it's not
even the long term funding track of the United States
that will bring its public service to a grinding halt.
It's actually just short term stuff that they need to
(16:29):
agree on. The Republicans have a majority fifty three forty seven,
but you need sixty to pass because it'll be filibustered. Well,
it is being filibusted, So Trump is going to try
and bring that to a conclusion. But the most important
piece of international news that I think is relevant to
us this morning is nothing to do with the drones
in Russia. It's nothing to do with Palestine, it's nothing
(16:52):
to do with a shutdown in the United States. It's
actually Shijing Ping and Donald Trump talking about Taiwan. This
is a Wall Street Journal article out this morning, exclusive
to them that and it has the biggest implication for US,
because Taiwan's in our backyard, right. Shijingping reckons he can
persuade Trump to oppose Taiwanese independence, and he wants to
(17:14):
try and get that into a trade deal. You know,
there's the one China policy where the US acknowledges the
Taiwan thing but doesn't endorse it. She reckons he can
get Trump to go further than that. So that's all
up for discussion. Apparently twenty nine after five news Talks, they'd.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Be the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
you Live news Talks.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
They'd be good.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So good Morning's twenty four minutes away from six News Talks.
They'd be coming up Mark Mitchell on the correction story
out this morning, and we're in the UK with Gavin
Gray Ryan. Good morning, welcome back, Thank you, Clive. Nice
to hear from you. I support the government stance on Palestine,
not because anyone is against Palestine necessarily, but just it
is rewarding the wrong actions at this point. I think
(18:11):
there's a lot of people who'd agree with you, or
I mean, if you look at the polls, most people
actually wanted to recognize Palestine, well forty percent. The highest
number in the poll I think it was thirty five
said don't know or don't care, don't mind, haven't really
thought about it, and the balance said that they were
against it. So there you go. Twenty three minutes away
(18:33):
from six now. Captain Judy's space mission continues. She's popped
out a release for US this morning, five billion bucks
going towards space. This is trans Tasman space expeditions that
she's involved with, and the Aussies are going to match
this money, so it'll be ten million or just over
ten million dollars total. The one that I thought was
interesting was monitoring southern Indo Pacific from space. This is
(18:55):
led by restore Lab New Zealand and smart sax CRC Australia.
This satellite mission will deliver advanced maritime domain awareness across
the Indo Pacific. So does that mean we're going to
be looking down at the drug smuggling and the illegal
fishing going on in the across the Pacific? Twenty three
to two six, Bryan Bread. No more free bus fares
(19:16):
for children in Doneda and Queenstown Calm pro and Procter
Indonedian for us this morning, Good morning, morning, Ryan.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Know the original countsil of making these changes from today
to meet new government funding rules, So that includes sadly
discontinuing free rides for children here aged between five and twelve.
They're also increasing the adult fear to two dollars fifty
in Danedan's youth fair to a dollar fifty. The Regional
Council says thought they know that any change to the
(19:43):
household budget has an impact, but despite the increases, Otago's
bus fares are still some of the cheapest in the country.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How'd your weather come?
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Shalls develop here, possibly heavy and thundery this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
The high thirteenth. All right, thank you, Courtney Winter and
christ Church Courtney, good morning to you. Good morning. So
it's day three. This teenager Marley's still missing.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
Yes, so, the seventeen year old was last seen in
Opawa at around two thirty pm on Friday, and his
vehicle has been found in Sumner. Police spent the weekend
searching Scarborough's whitewash and surrounding bays using drones, boats and
land teams. Marley's believed to be wearing a light gray
Eddy Dess hoodie and low cut burgundy shoes. The bottom
(20:24):
half of his clothes can't be confirmed just yet. Police
are asking anyone with CCTV or doorbell cameras in Sumnell
and Scarborough to review the footage from around two footy
five on Friday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (20:37):
A few showers before dawn before becoming a few showers
this afternoon as well. Sorry, and westerly's turning southerly.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A high of seventeen All right, thanks so much for that, Courtney,
Max and Wellington Morning Max, Good morning. Big reforms coming
for quake rules when Yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:53):
A story in the post this morning ahead of today's
announcements so the government's been doing a year long review
looking at the country's quake prone building rules, the National
Building System NBS, and I think no one pound for
pound may benefit more from today than Wellington for years
been in this sort of holding pattern a lot of buildings, apartments, sites,
monument structures. Effectively, what the government is to announce today
(21:17):
should save building owners apparently in the capital a billion dollars.
So currently those with a risk of thirty four percent
or below of the NBS are considered those buildings considered
quake prone sixty seven percent earthquake risk. I'msure what figures
though that goes down to. But this announcement this afternoon
should provide more clarity, ease restrictions, revised deadlines for when
(21:40):
to fix up the building. Ultimately, owners should be very happy.
Keep an eye and air out.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah interesting, we watch you met closely. Thanks Max. How's
your winder?
Speaker 13 (21:49):
Bit of rain this morning, some early strong wind as well,
seventeen Today's Hi, all.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Right, thank you? Neva's are not morning? Neva? Good morning,
welcome Beck, thank you, good to see you. Now. Getting
across the aucand harbor can be well time consuming a
best and there's apparently a little secret plan going on here.
Wayne's not happy. Wayne is not happy.
Speaker 14 (22:08):
When is Wayne ever happy? So look, he's concerned that
the government, as you say, keeping these secrets when it
comes to this possible new harbor crossing. Now the government's
looking at options for a second crossing. You know, it
has a barge out on the waite to Matar looking
at the feasibility of tunnels. Simon Wilson, now he's New
Zealand Herald Senior report. He's on the case. He spoke
(22:29):
to Wayne Brown and Wayne Brown told him, you know,
he believes he and the Council being kept in the dark.
They don't know what's being found. They don't know, they
don't know. And he also told, you know, Simon Wilson
that they don't even know where the officers.
Speaker 15 (22:43):
So who are you.
Speaker 14 (22:43):
Talking about this? So Chris Bishop is a Transport minister.
He's come in. He's going no, no, reject these claims.
Bishop says, a look, the council knew all along that
they were doing the feasibility study, and you know that
he said, This is Bishop saying, you know, they also
know that they'll be announcing this preferred option next year.
So he said he said, She said, he said, what
(23:05):
do you believe?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, we're just stuck in traffic in the meantime, aren't we.
I reckon the less they know the better. Just keep
them in.
Speaker 14 (23:11):
The dark, that's right, keep them in the dark, and
then obviously, yes, all will be revealed and there'll be
a big story on it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Brand new motorway in about twenty years time. How's our weather?
Speaker 14 (23:21):
Cloudy periods, scattered rain from late afternoon, possibly heavy. Those
winds are still there, Ryan, twenty is the high So it's.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Brilliant, Neva, thank you. It is eighteen minutes away from six,
Colin says Ryan. Ten million dollars for space from Judith
Colin's same amount that Winston just announced for Hummas and aid. Yeah.
Judith Colin's justification for this is the fact that the
space industry in New Zealand has increased in size fifty
and profitability fifty three percent over the past decade or so.
(23:48):
So invest now and reap rewards later. Eighteen to six

International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yes, Kevin Gray, are you you're a correspondent Kevin. Good
to have you on the show. Are they saying it,
definitely it's the Russians with the drones. More airspace has
been based incursions.
Speaker 16 (25:12):
Yeah, at the moment run there is no confirmation about this.
The Russians are dismissing it. So what's happened is we've had,
of course drones flying over airspace in Denmark last week,
while it's happened again at the start of the weekend,
and it was also over one of the air bases
that is used for its armed forces, and that meant
(25:32):
that things couldn't fly at all because they can't shoot
the drones down owing to the fact that these airport
spaces are around areas that are quite densely populated, so
that's why they're not being shot down. But the idea
that the Danish Defense Command can't operate the armed forces
properly because of drones in the area is obviously deeply,
(25:54):
deeply worrying. Now it's not the first time that Denmark
has been attacked, as I mentioned, but so to on
that same area and same evening. Rather, there were possible
sightings reported in Germany, Norway and Lithuania. And if you
think it sounded like a scratch record. Well, that's because,
of course last week and the week before we were
talking about twenty Russian drones crossing into Poland, Russian meek
(26:17):
thirty one jets entering Estonia, and so it goes on
and on, and plenty of people are pointing the finger
of the drone cause as being Russia, saying they're deliberately
trying to test Europe and NATO.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Hey, what's haending with Herod's in the IT issues.
Speaker 16 (26:34):
Yeah, they've had another problem with it. This time it's
a system's breach, and it's because of the systems being
breached by a third party provider. Now, Harold's has described
the incident as isolated and saying no passwords or payment
details were taken. But because Harold's one of the best
known department stores in the world, known for its luxury goods,
(26:56):
and it looks like that people did get away or
were leaked, were potentially names and addresses, email addresses, but
no more than that, Harold's is quick to say, so
this is not connected to a cyber attack that it
suffered back in May when it restricted Internet access across
its sites. That was a precourtionary measure. Following an attempt
(27:17):
to gain unauthorized access to its systems. But I think
this really just shows at the moment how here in
the UK in particular, cyber attacks have become almost a
daily sort of headline here with big attacks, high profile
attacks on high street giants, Marks and Spencer and also
the co Op And now back a few weeks ago,
the National Crime Agency arresting four people all in the UK,
(27:40):
a twenty year old woman and three males aged between
seventeen and nineteen. All have since been released on bail
pending further action.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
All right, Kevin, appreciate your Timekevin Gray a UK, you're correspondent.
By the way, the people have been texting in to
say the drones can't be from Russia because Russia's too
far away and the drones wouldn't fly that far. An
open source investigation that's been reported overnight there were two
Russian cargo vessels and one oil tanker in the vicinity
of the drones around that time they reckon they could
launched them from there. It's eleven minutes away from six
(28:12):
ray bred money for prison story in the Herald this morning.
The ninety eight million bucks set aside in last year's
budget to higher staff for ten eight hundred inmates has
already been spent. Apparently, prisoner numbers have hit ten thy,
seven hundred and sixty three, So just shy of that.
Almost a year of head of forecast, there are two
hundred and seventy six jobs still vacant. Mark Mitchell, the Minister,
good morning, Hey, good morning Ryan. So forecast we're off.
(28:35):
Is this because we have more criminals or a higher
proportion of them being locked up?
Speaker 15 (28:40):
Are there's just more people being locked up? Because is
it incoming government? We're really clear that we're prioritizing public safety,
that it means that we're not leaving people out in
the community that were hurting in causing problems. Actually they're
now in a corrections facility and we'll have a good
credit reasonabilitating them.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Do you think he was care if there's double bunking.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
I don't know. I think that they. I think they
care that we make sure that we run the best
possible class correction service we can in the world, and
we do that. I love the chance to be able
to talk about our corrections offices they do in facility
to join the community. Because they asked quite something world class.
They do do an amazing job. There are tens of
thousands of positive interactions that happen every day. The problem is,
(29:21):
of course you only hear when something goes wrong through
the media. But they're quite something. You're outstanding and they've
got a very important part to play around public safety
and they're standing up and win that role.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Fair enough, but Correction says the staff and levels are suboptimal,
the best.
Speaker 15 (29:37):
We've ever been in the last eight years in terms
of staff, we're in the best position.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We have been and eight years.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
It's not suboptimal and all. It's not the Christians saying
that the suboptimal. They're saying that Corrections are at the
best place of the being, like I said, for eight
years as an incoming government. They started a new recruiting
campaign that's been extremely successful. We've got a massive pipeline
of people wanting to join and become crests as we've
got another seventy officers being trained and ready to deployed
(30:09):
at the bar. We're the best place that we've been.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
For eight years. That campaign was very successful and they
pointed out they had one hundred and thirty five thousand
apparently applying for jobs and you still have two hundred
and seventy six vacancies.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
How does that compute you, because that doesn't mean that
everyone gets through.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You know, there are.
Speaker 15 (30:27):
Bigh standards required to become in New Ze Trections officer,
as it should be. But yes, like I said, we're
in the best place we've being for eight years in
terms of recruiting, deployment and actually staff on the floor. Now,
what that meant when I first became minister is that
we had a lot of new officers going out on
the floor. And of course that it was with its
own challenges. But we're now sort of almost two years
(30:49):
in and like I said, we're in a really good position. Look,
I have the opposition in peace is they're greening peace
of visiting twice this week different prisons. Mind fighting something wrong,
That's what we're doing. For what our staff are doing,
they've been doing that now for two years and they
haven't been able to come up with anything. And that's
a good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
They've said.
Speaker 15 (31:09):
The health check.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Appreciate sounds like a two minister appreciated. Mark Mitchell corrections Minister,
it is eight minutes away from sex year on news Talk,
said b and Mike is next.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Get ahead of the Headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love Where You.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Live News Talks B six to six on news Talk,
said b Ryan, the feasibility study is common knowledge that
this is about the potential new route across the Whites
and Matta Harbor and Auckland is common knowledge on our
building site. Everyone's talking about it, been going on for months.
I believe it's a Scandinavian crowd. So why isn't Old
Wayne Brown in the know? And Mike's in the studio morning? Mike,
good to see you. Ryan, did you notice? I just
(31:50):
wanted to check whether you noticed any change in the
studio's cleanliness while I was doing drive in the afternoons,
because I made a concerted effort. It's not a bad question.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Actually if I wouldn't have come to that voluntarily, but
if you made some sort of effort, I could back
you up by saying it wasn't dramatically different, but i'd
seen potentially someone hadn't left the place. I don't know
whether you're the last person in here or people who were, Like.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I think there must be other people that come after the.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Other people because they're not normal, and so that's where
the problem was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I know how much it means to you, so I thought,
you know what, it's going to take me just a minute.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
At the end of the story, I've ever asked, and
forty four years of broadcasting, eighteen years on this particular program,
all I've ever asked of my fellow broadcasters is they
leave the sort of like my mother used to say,
you leave the place as you.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Found it, as you found it, as you found it.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
And if you can't do that, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It was fairly difficult.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
This morning, Monday is the worst day, obviously.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Because you've got the sloths on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You got the sloths on the weekend. It's a completely
different class of person on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I could hang on, didn't you used to work on
the weekend? Yeah, but it was differ there.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
It's gone downhill standards, It's gone dramatically downhill. I could
name names, in fact in my book, I will. But
are you writing a book? Of course I'm writing a book.
Are you actually everyone's writing a book? Really, we're all
writing a book.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But no one makes any money out of than. That's
what I've been told you want to.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
See in the country.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
The upfront, are you actually writing a book? Will you
one day write a book?
Speaker 8 (33:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Probably not. To be honest, I wish I could say yes.
I've been asked several times, and the upfront money is
actually quite good if you hold out long enough, as
I found out. But then I'd have to sit down
and be dedicated to the task. And why for what purpose?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Well, one day you'll have time on your hands.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Well, but here's the problem. Here's the here's my current thinking.
Everyone writes a book these days.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
What's time?
Speaker 5 (33:46):
A book was a thing, whereas now it's not a thing.
Any man and his dog can write a book, and
they do.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And I'm thinking, what's the point exactly? You just get
to write it anyway because you reckon.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Hey, you got the pigs, miss the level of discourse here,
you got the Prime Minister on this morning. No, I
don't actually, oh don't.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I do. Always a rollercoaster, Mike. See tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge. Listen live
to News Talks it be from five am weekdays, or
follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
The issues, the interviews and the insight. Ryan Bridge on
earlier issue with one Root Love where you Live News
Talk Zibi.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning, it is Monday, it is six after five.
Great to have your company this morning. Coming up. Mark
Mitchell on this correction story the drones in Europe. Hu
Jinping wants a Taiwan for trade deal with Trump plus
great and wikis great, and wikis forgive me. She's spoken
out about Dame Knowles. Andrew Orderson has all of that
in Sport.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's Monday, the twenty ninth of September. Another Putin blitz
on Ukraine. Five hundred drones, forty missiles, twelve hours, seven regions,
four dead, including a twelve year old girl in Keith.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Ukraine's air defenses have once again been overwhelmed. And this
is the difference between Moscow and Kiev. Russia is able
to manufacture drones in such large quantities and Ukraine is
less able to. It is reliant on its western allies.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
To the US. There's backlash, of course, to Trump sending
the troops into Portland.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Oregon has not requested any federal assistance and nor do
we need it. President Trump's inconceivable insistence that we need
federal troops in Portland does not address the real concerns
in our communities.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
To the Women's Rugby World Cup, England get a third
title after thrashing Canada thirty three thirteen at Twickenham. England's
other champion, our Black Ferns, by the way, took bronze,
holding off France forty two to twenty six over the weekend.
At just eighteen years old, Braxton Sorenson McGee was named
World Rugby Women's fifteens Breakthrough Player of the Year.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Actually didn't think that I will be close to that
at the beginning of the tournament, but here now I'm
grateful for how.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Hard I work for it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also on the Agenda on your radio. On the Agenda
this week we're expecting the Frontier Report on the energy sector.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Views and Views you Trust to start your day's early
edition with Bryan Bridge and one roof Love where you live.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
News talks that'd be which will come to not much
by the well, I mean not much, but it's not
going to break up the gen tailors in case that's
what anyone is hoping for. Also, the Palestine thing, which
I told you this is what would happen, and it happened,
but over the weekend the muted response from the international media.
I mean, of all the fuss that was made about it,
(02:25):
there was very little reporting and international press about our decisions.
So how important, how significant was New Zealand's stance on
that particular issue. Well you have to question it, wouldn't you.
Now another correction story out today, This one says we've
got more prisoners in jail than we forecast to have
more of them might have to double bunk. Most Keywis,
I think, will give absolutely zero cares about that. We
(02:48):
all know how hard it is to get into prison,
don't we. You don't get there by jaywalking, and we
elected the government to go and do something about that.
So when people complain about the prison population going up,
I think most keys don't care. In fact, I think
most Keyi's probably you know, they don't think about it
a lot, but you're probably happy, you know better, they're
in there the next door to me. And this thing
(03:10):
about rehabilitation, no government has ever been good at rehabilitating prisoners.
I mean, they offer it, but to get help, you've
got to want it, don't you. I was listening over
the weekend two. I don't know, don't ask me why.
But Joe Biden when he was a senator back in
the nineties, and just the alignment between the left and
right on corrections and on justice and on prisons.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society.
The end result is they're about to knock my mother
on the head with the lad pipe, shoot my sister,
beat up my wife, take on my sons. So I
don't want to ask what made them do this. They
must be taken off the street.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Interesting, isn't it. And he's certainly changed his tune when
he was in the White House. Mark Mitchell on this
before just gone ten after five. Now coming up next,
we'll talk to Andrew Sport Monday morning and lots to
talk about. Obviously there was the abs, but also this
Grace and Wiki at the weekend. This was last night
in fact against South Africa. She comes out on stage
(04:17):
and says, hey, Dame Knowles, we want you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Back, views and views you trust to start your day.
It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Route Love
where you Live News Talk said be.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Twelve after five on early edition, Great to be back
with you. Was on drive last week, not on holiday,
just in case anyone was wondering about how often I'm
skiving off anyway, Grace and Wiki has after the game
with South Africa last night pretty much said you're welcome back,
Dame Knowles. Knowles, we love you and we miss you
and we want you back here. You've done so much
(04:50):
less and you've done this but to be here, And
isn't that interesting? So who It's obviously not Grace that
had a problem Dame Knowles. Otherwise she presumably otherwise she
wouldn't be saying it. So which of the team had
the problem with Dame Knowles. We're still sort of in
the dark on all of this, and what is Netbull
to have to bring her back? One't they? Thirteen after
five Andrew Ordison on Sport on that next Ryan Bridge,
(05:13):
the world has heard New Zealand's verdict on Palestinian statehood,
with a war.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Raging, her Maas still in place and no clarity on
next steps. We did not think that time is now.
Recognizing Palestine now will likely prove counterproductive. That is har
Maas resisting negotiation in the belief that it is winning
(05:41):
the global propaganda war.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Labor in the Greens hit back, of course, saying it's
morally reprehensible what the government's done. Jeffrey Miller is foreign
policy analyst with US this morning. Jeffrey, good morning, Good morning, Ryan.
I wasn't at all surprised by this with you.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
I was a little surprised because in the end, we've
got one hundred and fifty seven members of the UN
out of one hundred and ninety three recognizing a Palestinian state,
and New Zealand has decided not to be one of them.
And New Zealand is quite an outlier now and it
is really at odds Ryan, with the policies that New
Zealand has taken and the approach and its approach for
the war in Gaza, because New Zealand has tended to
(06:18):
side with the likes of the United Kingdom and Canada,
Australia throughout the war. It's the issue numerous joint statements,
it's voted with them. It's surprising in that sense.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Isn't it? More technical? Like Hamas remaining the de facto
government in Gaza, what are you actually recognizing? And the
other argument, why would they give up arms or go
for a ceasefire when they're gaining so much on the
propaganda front.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
Well, look, that's the argument from the government that there's
no real viable state to recognize, and that Hamas is
still in control of a good part of the Palestinian territories,
in other words, in Gaza, and therefore that's why the
government can't recognize the Palestinian state right now. But I
think than really is missing the moment. In a sense.
What we're looking at here is an expression of will
(07:05):
from the international community for a Palestinian state to exist.
And just as we talk about Israel's right to exist,
this was about Palestine's right to exist. And New Zealand
has made his decision. I think it will be very
interesting in the coming days and weeks. Winston Peters will
need to explain that decision further. The chrystoph Luxe will
need to explain that decision further, not just domestically in
(07:26):
New Zealand, although that will be very important given that
the decision was revealed only in New York, but internationally
as well to New Zealand's friends and partners. So Winston Peters,
who is very much a fan of getting out there
and traveling as much as possible as Foreign Minister. He
will be asked questions about this when he travels. He'll
be asked why New Zealand decided to sit it out,
and he will have answers to that. And one of
(07:48):
the answers that he said was that we needed action,
not words. That needs to be dialogue, diplomacy, leadership. Those
are the words that Christopher Luxeon also used. So I'd
like to see New Zealand take a more active role
and role. If New Zealand's position is when we need
a viable state and we need a ceasefire, then I
think New zer needs to be redoubling its efforts to
(08:08):
contribute to that effort to bring about a ceasefire in
a longer lasting solution, a political solution, a two state
solution in them in the least, Jeffrey, the only answer.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I appreciate your time this morning just for Miller Foreign
policy analyst time is sixteen after five Moldov people watching
this one closely this morning. This is basically the country
wedge between Ukraine and a Romania on the Black Sea.
Two point four million people there. Are they going to
continue on their path to EU membership, which is what
they voted for in a referendum or are they going
(08:36):
to veer back towards Putin and Russia current leader's Pro
West is the pivot going to happen. There's a couple
of old school Soviets nostalgic type parties which have gathered
together and are trying to take down this pro Western
party that's in power. The Pro West Party held them
off in twenty twenty, so can they do that again.
(08:58):
That's when we're watching This Morning Sport.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Next the news you need this Morning and the in
depth analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Root
Love where you Live News Talks.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That'd be five nineteen. It's Monday morning. That means Andrew Wills.
Since here was Sport Andrew, good morning, Greeting's right, good
to see what you come back? You may thank you,
good to be back. What did you make of the
AB's on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:20):
I thought there was a compelling test match? Actually what
thirty three twenty four in the ends? All blacks out
twenty three at one stage, But Australia under Joe Schmidt
just working their way back in but still Fortress Eden
Park s Days alive for another season.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Does Robertson get an easy go in? The media. I mean,
if it was Foster who was overseeing a team like this,
would the reaction be a little different.
Speaker 9 (09:41):
Yeah, I think he's probably got a bit more leeway,
hasn't he. But then it's it's I guess it's tightening
up on it, isn't it, And that the pressure continues
to mount as well. It never is relinquished with the
All Blacks, is that it's always on the expectation to win,
et cetera, and maintain the legacy and the jersey, et cetera,
et cetera. But I thought that was a philly compelling
(10:01):
reply to of course the match against South Africa where
it blew out the school line. They probably did it
for the first hour even in that match. But South
Africa is so dominant and of course leading the Rugby
Championship now as well after they win over Argentina, so
that they're they're the benchmark I think, and will rugby
at the moment.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What did you make of Grace and Wiki is fascinating
what she said last night.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
It is when you think about the supposed to troubles
and not suppose it. But there's been difficulties behind the
scenes there. But yeah, a real what would you call that?
Just the demand or desire to see Dame Noling told
her back in the mix, particularly for the Constellation Cup
coming up. And I think that's kind of interesting, like
a plea. Yeah, I mean helping Patment in the news,
(10:44):
but we'll hear more of it over the course in
the morning, but yeah, please come back a sap. So, yeah,
that's the demand from from Grace Wiki out there too
that they want to see Dave Noling back in the
coaching ranks allers forgiven.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
The Ryder Cup singles about tea off and I saw
some of the biffo that happened at the weekend. It's
hardly golf, is it.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
It's quite intense and I don't know what this is
driven by really, but some of those fans pretty poorish
behavior really, and I mean Macroy giving it back to
them as well off the fairway there as if many
will have seen over the course of the weekend. But yeah,
the singles matches, but really it's been pretty comprehensive from
Team Europe. I mean playing away at Bethpage Black in
(11:27):
New York State. Well feel the intimidating environment from what
we've seen, but Team Europe not missing a beat really,
and what they've just got to win I think three
or at least two and a half, get two and
a half points, so when to maybe even draw one.
And they've got of those twelve singles matches this morning
and they've got it wrapped up so or at least retained.
But I can't see them missing to be honest.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, Lisa Adams has claimed world shot puts IF thirty
seven gold.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Yeah, so this has taken place in New Delhi after
the we're with an ex Champs in Tokyo last week
and Lisa Adams she retired in April twenty twenty four,
but it's back in the mix now, which is the
world record holder and also the olymp parslobic champion in
that IF thirty seven event to ride and yeah, throwing
three thirteen point eighty three meters first throw out and
(12:16):
that was enough to take it out.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Brilliant Andrew, Good to see you as always, lovely. We'll
hear more from you throughout the morning. Got the go
Andrew Wilson with Sport. It is twenty two minutes after five,
you're on news talks. He'd be coming up next. I'll
talk a little bit about the hybrid warfare that the
Russians are engaging and over in Europe, and after the
news at five point thirty, of course will catch up
with Neva, which is always a bit of fun on
a well any morning really, and we will also talk
(12:39):
to Gavin Gray in the UK about the drones, about
the fighter jets, I mean, what exactly are the Russians
up to?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power
Bay News Talks, ATV News Talks.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
There'd be It's five twenty five on your Monday morning.
Putin's playing a game of chicken with the Europeans, and
so far the Europeans are the chickens. They has pretty
much done nothing but talk about these fighter jets and
drones intercepted a couple take your pick of experts and
former military bosses chiming in on the why over the
weekend and you'll get as many different answers. Are these
(13:12):
incursions a mistake? No, there's too many of them now.
It's orchestrated clearly. So he's doing this for one of
two reasons, to keep more territory in Ukraine, freak the
Europeans a bit, they might buckle and give them more
of what he wants, or he's picking off countries one
by one to test the NATO response, lining up his
next target. Does NATO respond differently to a Polish incursion
(13:34):
than a Danish one? The point of NATO is that
it shouldn't matter. It should be all for one, one
for all. The question then becomes, how do you deal
with that? And you've got to listen to a guy
called Maritz Break. He's with the Center for Advanced Security,
Strategic and Integration Studies. He says, you've got to be
more forceful with the Russians, the Turks. They shot down
a Russian jet back in twenty fifteen. You might remember
(13:54):
that seconds after it entered their airspace. And guess what.
Putin didn't go to war with Turkey, did it. The
fighter pilots from Russia learned pretty quickly just whose airspace
belongs to who? Crayon Bridge Starma he's having a crack
at while he's having an interview doing the rounds in
the Sunday television interviews over in the UK and loves
(14:17):
his country.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
I love and have pride in my country, and I
want to serve the whole of our country, our beautiful tolerant,
diverse country.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
And having a crack at farage. Of course, who's as
big as competition says is let's deport them policy.
Speaker 10 (14:34):
I do think that there's a racist policy. I do
think it's emoral. It needs to be called out for
what it is.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Now back in New Zealand, Little old New Zealand, we'll
talk to Gavin Gray about that. After news five point thirty,
Wayne Brown has come out and said. It's the front
page Herald this morning. Wayne Brown comes out and says
that the government's working on a secret harbor crossing plan NDTA,
keeping his counsel in the dark. There are secret studies
going on. He says, it's all a bit mysterious, a
(15:03):
bit like the drones over Europe. Actually, he says, this
is a quote. We know nothing. We don't even know
where their office is, we don't know who the consultants are.
It's bizarre, which I think is actually probably a good thing.
I mean, the less you tell Auckland Council and the
less say you give them, I think the better off
we all are. But anyway, the government's hit back. So
(15:23):
Bishop comes out and says, what are you talking about?
You have had a meeting with NZNTA about this. Maybe
Wayne forgot, I don't know. And he also says for
the last few months a barge has been operating in
the harbor to look at the ground and seabed conditions
to help inform decisions. By definition, this is hardly secret.
(15:44):
So there you go to the US. I thought I
would bring you up speed on what's happening with the shutdown.
This is basically it's that time of year, the US
government shutdown season, where Congress squabbles over spending before eventually
they agree at the eleventh hour to some deal. So
shutdown is meant to happen twelve oh one am Wednesday
this week our time, sorry, their time. Trump is planning
(16:08):
to meet later tonight our time in the Oval Office
with four of them, including the couple of Dems. Chuck
Schuman will be there, Hakim Jeffries will be there. And
this is all about a short term so it's not
even the long term funding track of the United States
that will bring its public service to a grinding halt.
It's actually just short term stuff that they need to
(16:29):
agree on. The Republicans have a majority fifty three forty seven,
but you need sixty to pass because it'll be filibustered. Well,
it is being filibusted, So Trump is going to try
and bring that to a conclusion. But the most important
piece of international news that I think is relevant to
us this morning is nothing to do with the drones
in Russia. It's nothing to do with Palestine, it's nothing
(16:52):
to do with a shutdown in the United States. It's
actually Shijing Ping and Donald Trump talking about Taiwan. This
is a Wall Street Journal article out this morning, exclusive
to them that and it has the biggest implication for US,
because Taiwan's in our backyard, right. Shijingping reckons he can
persuade Trump to oppose Taiwanese independence, and he wants to
(17:14):
try and get that into a trade deal. You know,
there's the one China policy where the US acknowledges the
Taiwan thing but doesn't endorse it. She reckons he can
get Trump to go further than that. So that's all
up for discussion. Apparently twenty nine after five news Talks, they'd.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Be the first word on the News of the Day
early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where
you Live news Talks.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
They'd be good.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So good Morning's twenty four minutes away from six News Talks.
They'd be coming up Mark Mitchell on the correction story
out this morning, and we're in the UK with Gavin
Gray Ryan. Good morning, welcome back, Thank you, Clive. Nice
to hear from you. I support the government stance on Palestine,
not because anyone is against Palestine necessarily, but just it
is rewarding the wrong actions at this point. I think
(18:11):
there's a lot of people who'd agree with you, or
I mean, if you look at the polls, most people
actually wanted to recognize Palestine, well forty percent. The highest
number in the poll I think it was thirty five
said don't know or don't care, don't mind, haven't really
thought about it, and the balance said that they were
against it. So there you go. Twenty three minutes away
(18:33):
from six now. Captain Judy's space mission continues. She's popped
out a release for US this morning, five billion bucks
going towards space. This is trans Tasman space expeditions that
she's involved with, and the Aussies are going to match
this money, so it'll be ten million or just over
ten million dollars total. The one that I thought was
interesting was monitoring southern Indo Pacific from space. This is
(18:55):
led by restore Lab New Zealand and smart sax CRC Australia.
This satellite mission will deliver advanced maritime domain awareness across
the Indo Pacific. So does that mean we're going to
be looking down at the drug smuggling and the illegal
fishing going on in the across the Pacific? Twenty three
to two six, Bryan Bread. No more free bus fares
(19:16):
for children in Doneda and Queenstown Calm pro and Procter
Indonedian for us this morning, Good morning, morning, Ryan.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Know the original countsil of making these changes from today
to meet new government funding rules, So that includes sadly
discontinuing free rides for children here aged between five and twelve.
They're also increasing the adult fear to two dollars fifty
in Danedan's youth fair to a dollar fifty. The Regional
Council says thought they know that any change to the
(19:43):
household budget has an impact, but despite the increases, Otago's
bus fares are still some of the cheapest in the country.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How'd your weather come?
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Shalls develop here, possibly heavy and thundery this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
The high thirteenth. All right, thank you, Courtney Winter and
christ Church Courtney, good morning to you. Good morning. So
it's day three. This teenager Marley's still missing.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
Yes, so, the seventeen year old was last seen in
Opawa at around two thirty pm on Friday, and his
vehicle has been found in Sumner. Police spent the weekend
searching Scarborough's whitewash and surrounding bays using drones, boats and
land teams. Marley's believed to be wearing a light gray
Eddy Dess hoodie and low cut burgundy shoes. The bottom
(20:24):
half of his clothes can't be confirmed just yet. Police
are asking anyone with CCTV or doorbell cameras in Sumnell
and Scarborough to review the footage from around two footy
five on Friday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
All right, how's your weather?
Speaker 12 (20:37):
A few showers before dawn before becoming a few showers
this afternoon as well. Sorry, and westerly's turning southerly.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A high of seventeen All right, thanks so much for that, Courtney,
Max and Wellington Morning Max, Good morning. Big reforms coming
for quake rules when Yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:53):
A story in the post this morning ahead of today's
announcements so the government's been doing a year long review
looking at the country's quake prone building rules, the National
Building System NBS, and I think no one pound for
pound may benefit more from today than Wellington for years
been in this sort of holding pattern a lot of buildings, apartments, sites,
monument structures. Effectively, what the government is to announce today
(21:17):
should save building owners apparently in the capital a billion dollars.
So currently those with a risk of thirty four percent
or below of the NBS are considered those buildings considered
quake prone sixty seven percent earthquake risk. I'msure what figures
though that goes down to. But this announcement this afternoon
should provide more clarity, ease restrictions, revised deadlines for when
(21:40):
to fix up the building. Ultimately, owners should be very happy.
Keep an eye and air out.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah interesting, we watch you met closely. Thanks Max. How's
your winder?
Speaker 13 (21:49):
Bit of rain this morning, some early strong wind as well,
seventeen Today's Hi, all.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Right, thank you? Neva's are not morning? Neva? Good morning,
welcome Beck, thank you, good to see you. Now. Getting
across the aucand harbor can be well time consuming a
best and there's apparently a little secret plan going on here.
Wayne's not happy. Wayne is not happy.
Speaker 14 (22:08):
When is Wayne ever happy? So look, he's concerned that
the government, as you say, keeping these secrets when it
comes to this possible new harbor crossing. Now the government's
looking at options for a second crossing. You know, it
has a barge out on the waite to Matar looking
at the feasibility of tunnels. Simon Wilson, now he's New
Zealand Herald Senior report. He's on the case. He spoke
(22:29):
to Wayne Brown and Wayne Brown told him, you know,
he believes he and the Council being kept in the dark.
They don't know what's being found. They don't know, they
don't know. And he also told, you know, Simon Wilson
that they don't even know where the officers.
Speaker 15 (22:43):
So who are you.
Speaker 14 (22:43):
Talking about this? So Chris Bishop is a Transport minister.
He's come in. He's going no, no, reject these claims.
Bishop says, a look, the council knew all along that
they were doing the feasibility study, and you know that
he said, This is Bishop saying, you know, they also
know that they'll be announcing this preferred option next year.
So he said he said, She said, he said, what
(23:05):
do you believe?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Well, we're just stuck in traffic in the meantime, aren't we.
I reckon the less they know the better. Just keep
them in.
Speaker 14 (23:11):
The dark, that's right, keep them in the dark, and
then obviously, yes, all will be revealed and there'll be
a big story on it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Brand new motorway in about twenty years time. How's our weather?
Speaker 14 (23:21):
Cloudy periods, scattered rain from late afternoon, possibly heavy. Those
winds are still there, Ryan, twenty is the high So it's.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Brilliant, Neva, thank you. It is eighteen minutes away from six,
Colin says Ryan. Ten million dollars for space from Judith
Colin's same amount that Winston just announced for Hummas and aid. Yeah.
Judith Colin's justification for this is the fact that the
space industry in New Zealand has increased in size fifty
and profitability fifty three percent over the past decade or so.
(23:48):
So invest now and reap rewards later. Eighteen to six
News Talk seb Well they've gone and done it again,
haven't they. This is Milford a clean sweep in twenty
twenty five, taking not while not two, but three can

Speaker 1 (24:55):
International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind
for New Zealand business.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yes, Kevin Gray, are you you're a correspondent Kevin. Good
to have you on the show. Are they saying it,
definitely it's the Russians with the drones. More airspace has
been based incursions.
Speaker 16 (25:12):
Yeah, at the moment run there is no confirmation about this.
The Russians are dismissing it. So what's happened is we've had,
of course drones flying over airspace in Denmark last week,
while it's happened again at the start of the weekend,
and it was also over one of the air bases
that is used for its armed forces, and that meant
(25:32):
that things couldn't fly at all because they can't shoot
the drones down owing to the fact that these airport
spaces are around areas that are quite densely populated, so
that's why they're not being shot down. But the idea
that the Danish Defense Command can't operate the armed forces
properly because of drones in the area is obviously deeply,
(25:54):
deeply worrying. Now it's not the first time that Denmark
has been attacked, as I mentioned, but so to on
that same area and same evening. Rather, there were possible
sightings reported in Germany, Norway and Lithuania. And if you
think it sounded like a scratch record. Well, that's because,
of course last week and the week before we were
talking about twenty Russian drones crossing into Poland, Russian meek
(26:17):
thirty one jets entering Estonia, and so it goes on
and on, and plenty of people are pointing the finger
of the drone cause as being Russia, saying they're deliberately
trying to test Europe and NATO.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Hey, what's haending with Herod's in the IT issues.
Speaker 16 (26:34):
Yeah, they've had another problem with it. This time it's
a system's breach, and it's because of the systems being
breached by a third party provider. Now, Harold's has described
the incident as isolated and saying no passwords or payment
details were taken. But because Harold's one of the best
known department stores in the world, known for its luxury goods,
(26:56):
and it looks like that people did get away or
were leaked, were potentially names and addresses, email addresses, but
no more than that, Harold's is quick to say, so
this is not connected to a cyber attack that it
suffered back in May when it restricted Internet access across
its sites. That was a precourtionary measure. Following an attempt
(27:17):
to gain unauthorized access to its systems. But I think
this really just shows at the moment how here in
the UK in particular, cyber attacks have become almost a
daily sort of headline here with big attacks, high profile
attacks on high street giants, Marks and Spencer and also
the co Op And now back a few weeks ago,
the National Crime Agency arresting four people all in the UK,
(27:40):
a twenty year old woman and three males aged between
seventeen and nineteen. All have since been released on bail
pending further action.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
All right, Kevin, appreciate your Timekevin Gray a UK, you're correspondent.
By the way, the people have been texting in to
say the drones can't be from Russia because Russia's too
far away and the drones wouldn't fly that far. An
open source investigation that's been reported overnight there were two
Russian cargo vessels and one oil tanker in the vicinity
of the drones around that time they reckon they could
launched them from there. It's eleven minutes away from six
(28:12):
ray bred money for prison story in the Herald this morning.
The ninety eight million bucks set aside in last year's
budget to higher staff for ten eight hundred inmates has
already been spent. Apparently, prisoner numbers have hit ten thy,
seven hundred and sixty three, So just shy of that.
Almost a year of head of forecast, there are two
hundred and seventy six jobs still vacant. Mark Mitchell, the Minister,
good morning, Hey, good morning Ryan. So forecast we're off.
(28:35):
Is this because we have more criminals or a higher
proportion of them being locked up?
Speaker 15 (28:40):
Are there's just more people being locked up? Because is
it incoming government? We're really clear that we're prioritizing public safety,
that it means that we're not leaving people out in
the community that were hurting in causing problems. Actually they're
now in a corrections facility and we'll have a good
credit reasonabilitating them.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Do you think he was care if there's double bunking.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
I don't know. I think that they. I think they
care that we make sure that we run the best
possible class correction service we can in the world, and
we do that. I love the chance to be able
to talk about our corrections offices they do in facility
to join the community. Because they asked quite something world class.
They do do an amazing job. There are tens of
thousands of positive interactions that happen every day. The problem is,
(29:21):
of course you only hear when something goes wrong through
the media. But they're quite something. You're outstanding and they've
got a very important part to play around public safety
and they're standing up and win that role.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Fair enough, but Correction says the staff and levels are suboptimal,
the best.
Speaker 15 (29:37):
We've ever been in the last eight years in terms
of staff, we're in the best position.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We have been and eight years.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
It's not suboptimal and all. It's not the Christians saying
that the suboptimal. They're saying that Corrections are at the
best place of the being, like I said, for eight
years as an incoming government. They started a new recruiting
campaign that's been extremely successful. We've got a massive pipeline
of people wanting to join and become crests as we've
got another seventy officers being trained and ready to deployed
(30:09):
at the bar. We're the best place that we've been.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
For eight years. That campaign was very successful and they
pointed out they had one hundred and thirty five thousand
apparently applying for jobs and you still have two hundred
and seventy six vacancies.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
How does that compute you, because that doesn't mean that
everyone gets through.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You know, there are.
Speaker 15 (30:27):
Bigh standards required to become in New Ze Trections officer,
as it should be. But yes, like I said, we're
in the best place we've being for eight years in
terms of recruiting, deployment and actually staff on the floor. Now,
what that meant when I first became minister is that
we had a lot of new officers going out on
the floor. And of course that it was with its
own challenges. But we're now sort of almost two years
(30:49):
in and like I said, we're in a really good position. Look,
I have the opposition in peace is they're greening peace
of visiting twice this week different prisons. Mind fighting something wrong,
That's what we're doing. For what our staff are doing,
they've been doing that now for two years and they
haven't been able to come up with anything. And that's
a good thing.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
They've said.
Speaker 15 (31:09):
The health check.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Appreciate sounds like a two minister appreciated. Mark Mitchell corrections Minister,
it is eight minutes away from sex year on news Talk,
said b and Mike is next.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Get ahead of the Headlines on early edition with Ryan
Bridge and one roof Love Where You.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Live News Talks B six to six on news Talk,
said b Ryan, the feasibility study is common knowledge that
this is about the potential new route across the Whites
and Matta Harbor and Auckland is common knowledge on our
building site. Everyone's talking about it, been going on for months.
I believe it's a Scandinavian crowd. So why isn't Old
Wayne Brown in the know? And Mike's in the studio morning? Mike,
good to see you. Ryan, did you notice? I just
(31:50):
wanted to check whether you noticed any change in the
studio's cleanliness while I was doing drive in the afternoons,
because I made a concerted effort. It's not a bad question.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Actually if I wouldn't have come to that voluntarily, but
if you made some sort of effort, I could back
you up by saying it wasn't dramatically different, but i'd
seen potentially someone hadn't left the place. I don't know
whether you're the last person in here or people who were, Like.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I think there must be other people that come after the.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Other people because they're not normal, and so that's where
the problem was.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I know how much it means to you, so I thought,
you know what, it's going to take me just a minute.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
At the end of the story, I've ever asked, and
forty four years of broadcasting, eighteen years on this particular program,
all I've ever asked of my fellow broadcasters is they
leave the sort of like my mother used to say,
you leave the place as you.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Found it, as you found it, as you found it.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
And if you can't do that, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It was fairly difficult.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
This morning, Monday is the worst day, obviously.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Because you've got the sloths on the weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You got the sloths on the weekend. It's a completely
different class of person on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I could hang on, didn't you used to work on
the weekend? Yeah, but it was differ there.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
It's gone downhill standards, It's gone dramatically downhill. I could
name names, in fact in my book, I will. But
are you writing a book? Of course I'm writing a book.
Are you actually everyone's writing a book? Really, we're all
writing a book.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But no one makes any money out of than. That's
what I've been told you want to.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
See in the country.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
The upfront, are you actually writing a book? Will you
one day write a book?
Speaker 8 (33:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Probably not. To be honest, I wish I could say yes.
I've been asked several times, and the upfront money is
actually quite good if you hold out long enough, as
I found out. But then I'd have to sit down
and be dedicated to the task. And why for what purpose?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Well, one day you'll have time on your hands.
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Well, but here's the problem. Here's the here's my current thinking.
Everyone writes a book these days.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
What's time?
Speaker 5 (33:46):
A book was a thing, whereas now it's not a thing.
Any man and his dog can write a book, and
they do.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
And I'm thinking, what's the point exactly? You just get
to write it anyway because you reckon.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Hey, you got the pigs, miss the level of discourse here,
you got the Prime Minister on this morning. No, I
don't actually, oh don't.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I do. Always a rollercoaster, Mike. See tomorrow.
