Good afternoon. I'm Welcolm Jordan and this is your midday
newsfix for Wednesday, the nineteenth of November. A bipartisan bill
compelling the US Justice Department to release all files on
Jeffrey Epstein is heading to the Senate. It's passed in
the House of Representatives today and overwhelming four hundred and
twenty seven votes to one. Since this week, Donald Trump's
(00:25):
also supported the move, reversing months fighting it as claims
circulated about his relationship with the deceased convicted sex offender.
Democrat Yussumin and Sari told CNN Trump still holds the guards.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
To be determined whether or not the Senate passes their
sill and whether or not Donald Trump signs it, but then, ultimately,
like it is today, it is up to Donald Trump
to release these files.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Meanwhile, the Saudi Crown Prince says the killing of Jamal
Kashogi was a huge mistake. A CIA report found Prince
Mohammed bin Salman likely ordered Saudi ah Dents to kill
the journalist in Istanbul in twenty eighteen, but at a
meeting in the White House, President Donald Trump says the
Prince knew nothing about the killing. Ben Salman says, it's
(01:10):
hard hearing about a man losing his life for no
real purpose.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been painful for us in Sadeiurabia. We've did all
the light steps of investigation et cetera in Saudi Arabia,
and we've improved our system to be sure that nothing
happened like that.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Deep concern. No one will ever be held accountable for
twenty nine lives lost at Pike River Mine fifteen years ago.
Widow Anna Osborne is today meeting Workplace Relations and Safety
Minister Brook van Velden. You're quite keen to actually give
her a few home truths. Actually, we see that the
laws are sent to be watered down a bit. Meanwhile,
(01:46):
unions say the government should support a corporate manslaughter law.
Police have handed their investigation file to Crown solicitors for
a decision on prosecution. Lawyer Nigel Hampton k C says
he's nervous.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Grounded by my experience with the CTV building collapse and
the police formulating the view that a prosecution could be
taken but the Crown not being prepared to go ahead
with it.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
The governments trying to uncover why apprenticeships have such low
completion rates. Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmons says more than
half of apprentices training are dropping out. She says the
government could help through policy settings and funding, but the
nature of the problem is likely to vary between industries
building and construction. ITO director Greg Durkin told Mike Costking
(02:33):
they've been looking into why the number of dropouts has
been increasing since COVID. We certainly found out that there
was no single reason, but at the cost of living
and changes in the economy certainly had a big part
to play. The Police Commissioner says he's spoken to two
senior police leaders who visited JEVN Mcskimming after he was
charged with having objectionable material on work devices, calling it
(02:58):
disappointing and showing a lack of judgment. New Zealand's top
three cycle trails are pumping more than one point two
billion dollars a year into local economies to sport, Samoa
have become the final team to qualify for the twenty
twenty seven Men's Rugby World Cup in Australia after drawing
thirteen all with Belgium in Dubai. Tavita Muffaleo will be
(03:20):
denied and All Black's debut against Wales and Cardiff this
weekend due to a rib fracture. Scotland will attend the
Men's A Football World Cup for the first time in
twenty eight years after beating Denmark four to two in Glasgow,
and former Black Cap Jesse Ryder will play for Team
Cricket in the Blackclash on January seventeen at Mount Monganu's
(03:42):
Bay oval H. 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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
