Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is your midday
NEWSS for Friday, the tenth of October. Israel's cabinet is
meeting to vote on accepting the Gaza ceasefire agreed in Egypt.
It includes releasing hostages and end to fighting and Israel
pulling forces back to an agreed point. University of Buckingham
security expert Anthony Glees says he's extremely hopeful. He says
(00:27):
in agreeing to return hostages, Hamas has given up its
only leverage.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That is a big thing because it means that Hamas
realize that as far as Gaza is concerned and the
Ghazan War, this is over for them.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It is the end our. Twenty nine year old sandringher
Mans pleaded not guilty to smashing a window in Winston
Peters Auckland home and asked for a jury trial. The
man's appeared today in the Auckland District Court charged with burglary.

go within a kilometer of the Foreigt Affairs Minister's home
(01:01):
or contact either occupant. Auckland funeral director and reality TV

Speaker 2 (01:20):
At the time of her offending, Bakolitch was working for
Tip and A Funerals and featured in TV show The Casketeers.

released publicly this morning. He called the earlier two year,
three month sentence manifestly excessive.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
An editorial is pushing for kiwis suffering severe mental disorders
to get more care. Consultant psychiatrist Matthew Tenant writes in
the New Zealand Medical Journal demand for specialist treatment hasn't
reduced despite millions being invested in integrated primary services since
twenty nineteen. He claims the two services are too disconnected
(01:59):
and people with more severe illnesses neglected in favor of
those with moderate conditions.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Politically, it might seem like prioritizing the bigger group is
the right way to go. I actually think most.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
New Zealanders see through that, and I think that the
government needs to reflect.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
That The Ministry of Educations weighing up about fifteen prosecutions
against parents not sending children to school. Associate Education Minister
David Seymour announced the tougher stance on attendance in May.
Jamie Cunningham has more.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Parents face fines of up to three hundred dollars for
a first offense. Those who continue to keep their children
out of school could be fined up to three thousand dollars.

the threat of legal action has already prompted some families
to re enroll their children and return them to class.
Speaker 1 (02:48):

surface flooding and slips overnight heavy rain. Warnings still apply

West Coast. Almost a third of councils are guaranteed a
new mayor at tomorrow's local elections. Closing at midday to
Sport the All Whites have last to one nill away

a nine percent uptick in popularity across broadcasts, with a
two point seven percent boost in attendances. This season. South
Africa have chased at two hundred and fifty two with
three wickets and seven balls to spare to beat India
at the Women's fifty over Cricket World Cup, and Carlos

Signs as blown a gasket over Formula one's coverage showing drivers'
partners rather than his and others overtaking maneuvers during the
Singapore Grand Prix. I'm Malcolm Jordan. That's your latest news fix.
We'll be back with the next update at five pm
from the news Talk ZB newsroom.
