Speaker 1 (00:04):
From the news Talks EDB newsroom. This is newsfecs. In
this update, world leaders were treated to a night of
K park at a diplomatic dinner last night. Flitting and
gum bluffing and gum gamble. K pop artist g Dragon
performed for a group of Prime Minister's presidents and other
APEC VIPs at Agala in South Korea. Today is the

(00:26):
last day of the Major Economic Conference, which has taken
place after significant tariff changes. Chris Luxon's not made up
his mind about which artist he'd like to perform should
New Zealand ever host the APEX Summit. I'm not going
to give you a name actual because I know for
feeding a whole bunch of others. So yeah, yeah, we'll
put the pineapple lumps back into in the swag bag.
I think that's as far as what we've agreed so fast.

(00:47):
Chris Luckson's time at the Major Economic Summits coming to
a close with the New Zealand Defense Force plane departing
South Korea today. Mister Luckson did not attend APEX in
twenty twenty three, but was present last year as well
as this. His mind's not made up for the twenty
twenty sixth Summit, which is set to be held in
China at potentially the same time as the New Zealand

(01:07):
general election. The Wanaka communities come together to raise thousands
of dollars for a local charity. Nearly five kilograms of
mainland butter was auctioned off for more than eleven thousand
dollars at Food for Love's fundraiser at Edgewater Resort last night.
The charity provides free home cooked meals to those going
through unexpected times of need. General manager Jody Stewart says

(01:30):
they're amazed by the results. It meant so much to
us and they ended up donating the butter back to
us that we can use it for our cooking. Property
values have risen for the second month in a row. Cotality,
New Zealand's latest home value index shows values edged up
by point two percent in October. They rose just zero
point one percent in September. That comes after five consecutive

(01:52):
falls from April through to August. Chief property economist Kelvin
Davidson says he's still cautious about small increases. He says
there is still some restraint. However, upturns do start somewhere.
That's news in sport. The England cricketers are fighting back
in the final One day match against the black Caps
in Wellington, but whether it'll be enough to avoid a

(02:14):
series whitewash remains to be seen. From scoring less than
five runs and over batting first and teetering on one
hundred two for seven before the half way mark, the
English lower order batters have fired, but the eighth wicket
stands been broken after thirty two overs. A short time ago,
England will one hundred sixty one for eight. Jacob Duffy
and Blair Tickner have taken three wickets each for New Zealand.

(02:36):
The Los Angeles Dodgers have forced a Game seven decider
in Major League Baseball's World Series. They've beat in the
Toronto Blue Jays three one in Game six in Toronto.
That's sport. I'm Joe Gilfillan. For more news, listen to
