Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan, and this is your midday
news fix for Friday, the eleventh of April. The US
is keen to secure new trade deals with its major
trading partners, including China. Donald Trump's temporarily lowered most tariffs
to ten percent, with twenty five percent tariffs still in
place for steel and aluminium and most Canadian and Mexican goods. However,
(00:26):
tariffs on Chinese goods have now reached one hundred and
forty five percent. Trump advisor Kevin Hassett says officials are
starting negotiations to get deals over the line.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We're setting up a very orderly process to prioritize countries
at a venture. The countries that are most important for
getting this finish line are the countries that we bring
it first.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
No regrets from ACT leader David Seymour over spearheading the
Treaty Principal's Bill. The controversial bill was voted down by
all but its own MPs at its second reading yesterday.
Some MPs all that racist, divisive, ugly, grubby, and an
assault on history and rights. Seymour told Mike Hosking he's
(01:07):
standing up for equal human rights, obviously taking a while
for certain people in Parliament to catch on to that,
but the challenges how else do they want a country
to work? Meanwhile, the Toysu Tatyrity movement says it's continuing
to rise from the grave of the bill. Organizer Eru
Kapakinghi says despite the constitutional implications of the legislation, it
(01:29):
wasn't too surprising Prime Minister Chris Luxon wasn't there for
its second reading. He says he could feel the passion
of those who did attend. My question is always a
response to those sorts of speeches, in those grand expressions,
whether they hold through sicknin and whether they has a
loud and sort of some of the funeral rights when
it really matters. A man who's admitted murdering pensioner Francis Phelps,
(01:52):
known as Fay, at her christ Church home last year,
can now be identified as being a mental health patient
Courtney Winter has.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
More Elliot Alfa James Cameron, aged in his seventies, has
entered a guilty plea at the High Court in christ Church.
Police previously said the pair knew each other, but it
can now be revealed Cameron a patient at Hillmoorton Hospital
was Phelps Gardner. The specifics of the murder cannot yet
be published. Cameron has been remanded in custody until sentencing
(02:20):
in June.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
There are no survivors from a helicopter crash in New
York City's Hudson River. The pilot and five Spanish tourists,
including three children, were on board. Videos posted on social
media show the helicopter mostly submerged upside down in the water.
One witness says it sounded like a sonic boom as
he saw the helicopter splitting in two with the Rota
(02:43):
flying off. See an N correspondent Bryn jin Grass says
the flight path reveals they followed the river and then
looped around the Statue of Liberty. We're understanding as all
those people on board as possible. There were touruses. Is
obviously a.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Very tourist area that a helicopter would be flying to
get all the views of Manhattan to sport.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Three time America's Cup winner Peter Berling is leaving Team
New Zealand. Discussions by the team management and Burling have
been ongoing since Barcelona. However, an agreement has not been reached.
The next America's Cup does not yet have a host.
A seven underpar round of sixty five has Justin Rose
in the lead after the opening round of Golf's Masters
(03:24):
by three strokes, and Blues Chief executive Andrew Whore has
invited Joey Manu to have a phone call with reports

I'm Malcolm Jordan. That's your latest news fix. We'll be
back with the next update at five pm from the
newstalk ZB newsroom.
