Kiev says, Russia lobbed and intercontinental 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: ballistic missile at it for the first time during this war. 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: Some of the Western officials that that I've been talking 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 3: to say they are not sure about this. They think 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: it could be another sort of ballistic missile. Russia has 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: of course, used many ballistic missiles in its war against Ukraine. 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's a Russian spokesperson. She was on Live Telly 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: in front of a podium speaking to the media. Well, 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: if you can call it media over in Russia anyway, 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: she gets a phone call mid press conference telling her 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: keep quiet, we're not talking about that launch. All caught 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: on a hot mic that. 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: I know. 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: Shatyrmau. The International Criminal Court NITTNYA who he's a wanted man. 29 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: They issue a warrant to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister, 30 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: along with his former defense minister and the military leader 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: of Hamas. 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 4: The ICC says, the Chamber considered that there are reasonable 33 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 4: groans to believe that both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprive 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 4: the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, 35 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: including food, water, medicine, and medical supplies, as well as 36 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: fuel and electricity. 37 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: The catch, though, is whether that will actually be enforced, 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: and the one hundred and twenty four member countries have 39 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: yet to decide whether to do that. Another blow for 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: Justin Trudeau. While number one, you know he's polling so 41 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: low he'll trip over them. Number two he's got an 42 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: election next year, which he's probably going to lose. And 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: now one of his cabinet ministers resigning because of dodgy 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: business dealings and apparently faking his indigenous heritage, the two 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: of which it seems are bizarrely linked. We know he. 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 5: Falsely claimed he was indigenous in order to so this 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 5: company could steal resources that were meant for real Indigenous people. 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: In the US, applications for employment benefits have fallen to 49 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: a seven month low in what could mark a turn 50 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: around for the jobs market. We've been following that. This week, 51 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty thousand people file applications. That's a 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: drop of six thousand from the previous week, in seven 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: thousand lower than forecast. 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 6: The News you Need this morning and the in depth 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 6: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 6: Zealand's furniture beds and a flying Store News Talks. 57 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: It'd be good morning everyone, Love to hear from you. 58 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the number to text.

The fact is 64 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: they're on the front line, aren't they. Last year there 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: was a nine percent increase in tactical operations interactions. That 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: means basically the bad ones.

We're tucked 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: up in bed with moral superiorities saying no, we don't 73 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: like the idea of you guys being armed.

Please take your chances. 75 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: It's a little bit sanctimonious from us, don't you think 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: if they feel it would make their situations safer, then 77 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: I trust them to make that call. Of course, you'll 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: always have mistakes and chaos price The shooting clearly shouldn't 79 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 2: have happened, and they say they're working further at training, 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: et cetera to make that all better.

There's a conference on in Auckland today, but 107 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: I just wanted to quickly get to this. Jan Toinetti 108 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: and Erica Stanford in the House yesterday and I was 109 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 2: just watching the dance. How are these guys going to 110 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: report on what was said in parliament? This is what 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: Janetti said about it first. 112 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 4: So she said stupid bitch to me, except. 113 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: The word I love that she has to clarified she 114 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 2: obviously she didn't spell it out. She said the word anyway. 115 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: Bennett Collins on TV one went all in. There are 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: often robust exchanges, but then this the issue of calling 117 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: your political opponent a stupid bitch, Bryan Bridge, it shouldn't 118 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: be funny, should it right? The average rates shot up 119 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: fifteen percent this year. Councils are struggling to pay for infrastructure, 120 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 2: they're struggling to pay for services, et cetera. So local 121 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: government New Zealand's come up with a list of twenty 122 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: five financing tools to try and help reduce the pressure 123 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: on ratepayers to fund local councils. A lot of them 124 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 2: we heard of before, you know, the GST sharing on 125 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: new builds, congestion charging etc. We're joined this morning by 126 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: the Hodaki district mayor, Toby Adams, who's with me. Toby, 127 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, ran for you very well, thank you. 128 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: Obviously everyone knows the problem. I think local councils don't 129 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: have enough money and you don't have enough ways of 130 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: getting it. Which of these twenty five would suit a 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: council like yours? Which would you? Because I don't think 132 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: congestion charging will be up here ally would it? 133 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 7: No, congestion charging wouldn't work. And that's why it is 134 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 7: twenty five different ones because you know, in local government 135 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 7: not one size fits all obviously, so you've got to 136 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 7: have a vast range of different ones. But a GSD 137 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 7: share would work in our council, a little bit of 138 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 7: a share of royalties. We've got a large mine in 139 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 7: our district, so if we had a share of royalties, 140 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 7: they'll make a huge difference in the amount of infrastructure 141 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 7: that we could get done with just a little bit 142 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 7: of extra out without having to put rates up incredible amounts. 143 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to ask about the mining WORYLDTI 144 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: is given your location. Is the government open to that? 145 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 7: Lots of government say that they're open to it, but 146 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 7: I mean this has been gone for a long time. 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 7: We've never really had the conversation and they've said, you 148 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 7: know what, well, we'll definitely do it. 149 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: Can you explain to me why is it so expensive 150 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: for councils to get stuff done? You know? And why 151 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: do we never have enough infrastructure? Is it literally because 152 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: the costs go up and you cannot charge the rate 153 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: payers we don't have enough people to fund it. 154 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we've got You always have a small base, 155 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 7: and rates is your only real tool to collect revenue. 156 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 7: You're always mindful of not putting the rates up too 157 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 7: high for various reasons, and a lot of it's not 158 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 7: normally political. It's just about hearing from your community that 159 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 7: they can't afford you. Rate rises and infrastructure just costs 160 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 7: an absolute fortunate at the moment, like for our small council, 161 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 7: the powerball win up six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, 162 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 7: that's just to keep the lights going in your main 163 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 7: streets and your pumps running. So that's an increase of 164 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 7: sixty six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so totally over 165 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 7: a year. It's now two million dollars a year just 166 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 7: without and. 167 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: That jumps six fifteen one year, yep. 168 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 7: One under. So those are the kind of cost councils 169 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 7: we're facing in this last sort of economic crisis that 170 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 7: we're in, and that's why rates with us so much. 171 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: Toby, thanks for your time, Toby Adams, the Hodaki District mayor. 172 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: They've got a conference going on and local government New 173 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: Zealand calling for more levers to pull to get cash 174 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 2: in the door for councils. Seventeen after five, nine to 175 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: nine two the number to text. 176 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 6: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition with 177 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and 178 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 6: applying store News Talk. 179 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 2: Said b nineteen after five News Talk said, be I 180 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: don't know if you've been following this, but it's getting 181 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: very messy and I think Mark Mitchell needs to clean 182 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: it up a little bit. This is the police checks 183 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 2: on gun rangers. The current bill will limit the number 184 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: of checks that would happen. And Nicole McKee's the one 185 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: pushing this of course. Now Ginny Anderson has come out 186 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: and said that Mark Mitchell was briefed that gang members, Yes, 187 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: gang members were using gun ranges as target practice. I 188 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: mean that doesn't sound good, does it. And surely that 189 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 2: would be enough for you to say as policeman as 190 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 2: to hey, we should probably not go ahead with that more, 191 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: you know, the loosening of restrictions and the cops are 192 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: warning you as minister not to do it as well, 193 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: surely you would be speaking up. Your whole shtick is 194 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: tough on gangs, and you should, you know, stamp out 195 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: any potential perceptions to the contrary like a flame kill it. 196 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: They may be only small, isolated examples, but I don't 197 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: think it really matters. You're going to get on top 198 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: of stuff like that. Just gone twenty after five, Rainbridge. 199 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: The United States Business Summit is taking place in Auckland 200 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: today and boys at timely Trump obviously on his way 201 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: in tariff's looming and the US overtaking the Aussies as 202 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: our second largest export market worth more than fourteen billion dollars. 203 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: Fran O'Sullivan is the US Business Summit CoA chair. She's 204 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: with us this morning. Frian, lovely to have you on 205 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: the show. Oh thank you tell me what's your pack 206 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: on this, on this whole tariff business. Is this a 207 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: negotiating tactic from Trump? Do you think he's actually going 208 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: to go ahead with them in any you know the 209 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: numbers that they're talking about. 210 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 8: Oh, there will be an element of negotiation about it. 211 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 8: And I think you only have to look to his 212 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 8: pickers Commerce secretary, who is a billionaire, Harold Lutnik, who 213 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 8: was also co chair of his campaign. He has been 214 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 8: on record talking about tariff all the way through the 215 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 8: campaign himself. He's also you know, the boss of brokerage 216 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 8: firm Cantor in the United States, So I mean he's 217 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 8: a man with considerable sway. But what he has also 218 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 8: suggested that there will be an element of negotiation around 219 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 8: some of these and that in fact he is wanting 220 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,359 Speaker 8: to get obviously people back into and companies back manufacturing 221 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 8: in the United States. But however, there won't be blanket 222 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 8: tariffs on everything, so punitive language all the rest. But 223 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 8: part of that is you know, perhaps the first steps 224 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 8: in a pretty high stakes poker game. 225 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw his commentation in the Wall Street Journal overnight, 226 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: and you know he's talking about countries will have to 227 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 2: make concessions, you know what's correct. What sort of concessions 228 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: do we make? 229 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 8: Well, could have been a bit of pressure. Well that 230 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 8: may or may not be a priority for the incoming administration. 231 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 8: I mean it's not it wasn't initiated by them. I 232 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 8: think at the moment, you know, we have ponied up 233 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 8: and become much more in tune with the United States, 234 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 8: particularly in the Pacific, and I think there'll be an 235 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 8: expectation that we continue to do that. And when you 236 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 8: look at the leverage that's been applied in the past, 237 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 8: for instance by President Trump and Trump one point zero iteration, 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 8: I mean at that time he did put considerable pressure 239 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 8: on NATO, for instance, to step up its defense spend. 240 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 8: I think we will come under pressure to do more 241 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 8: of that. But that's happening anyway. The big, big areas 242 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 8: where the government will be wanting to you know, can't 243 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 8: spell out to themstration. And I think some of this 244 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 8: was probably also covered in the conversation that the Prime 245 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 8: Minister had with Donald Trump several days after he was 246 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 8: he became president elect. So you know, there are commonalities, 247 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 8: there are areas where we are working with the United 248 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 8: States strategically, and he will want to keep emphasizing that, 249 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 8: but you know it's going to be interesting. And of course, 250 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 8: of China takes a major hit, that's a major trading 251 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 8: partner of New Zealand, and so if it's economy takes 252 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 8: a hit, people won't want to pay quite the same 253 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 8: prices they're paying now for new feel and goods. So 254 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 8: you know, the world could get quite a slap. And 255 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 8: that is something that you're seeing, for instance at the 256 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 8: D twenty just in previous days, much more circling around Jjenping. 257 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 8: He's become a very powerful player as well in all 258 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 8: of this. 259 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 260 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and still waiting to see quite how big that 261 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: stimulus might be from Basing as well. Friend, fascinating and 262 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: excellent analysis. Always enjoyed the summit today, Thank you very much, 263 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: Thank you friend of Sullivan who is the New Zealand 264 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: business sorry, the US business summit coach. Here that's on 265 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 2: in Auckland today, just gone twenty four minutes after five. 266 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: You're on news Talks EB the. 267 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 6: Early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News 268 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 6: Talks IV. 269 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: You're on news Talks HEB. It's twenty six minutes after five. 270 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: Everybody loves a bargain. This is not a warehouse ad. 271 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: By the way, It's Black Friday today, Yay, the Friday 272 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving in the United States, the start of the 273 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: shopping season and during a cost of living crisis. People 274 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: could do with a bargain, couldn't they. Apparently a lot 275 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: of us are planning to buy. Fifty percent of us 276 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: planning to buy something today. That compares to thirty five 277 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: percent of us back in twenty twenty three. So big day. 278 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: And is there a greater thrill than the feeling of 279 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: getting forty or fifty or sixty percent off something? God, 280 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: it feels good. The trick is not like many things 281 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: in life. I suppose not to overdo it. My mum 282 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: is one of these people. She would buy a lamp 283 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: shade with no lamp just because it's a bargain. Oh darling, 284 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: could I I'm like, what for what are you doing 285 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: with that? But I reckon the thrill of a bargain 286 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: is not quite what it was. A lot of stuff 287 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: these days is so damn cheap. Anyway. You can get 288 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: tea mood toilet paper for a cent, and you can 289 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: get a shiny new outfit on sheen for less than 290 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: the prices of a big mac combo. Yes, it's bad 291 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: for the planet, but no one cares because it's cheap, 292 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: it's fun and you need news stuff. Throw it out 293 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: and get another one. That's what we say. There was 294 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: a time when people had one thing for their entire life, 295 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: and I can't even imagine that. You know, one coat, 296 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: one good winter coat, one pair of boots. But we've 297 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: come to expect so much from life where consumerous little creatures. 298 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: It's like food and obesity. Too much food, we'll eat it, 299 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: Will it kill us? Yes? Too many things to buy online. 300 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: Let's we'll buy them. They're there. This is what we do. 301 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: Knock the price down, will swoop like seagulls on fish 302 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: and chips at the beach. And then there's the stuff 303 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: that's not made in China that even when you do 304 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: get half off, it feels like you're still been robbed anyway. 305 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: The flutter of a bargain I think may not be 306 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: what it once was, but that shouldn't stop you enjoying 307 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: your shopping. And you're half off today it is twenty 308 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: eight minutes after five. 309 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 6: Brian Bridge. 310 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from people if they've been online 311 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: already what bargains you're seeing because the people who would 312 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: have been up at the stroke of midnight.

The 336 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: only thing half off was my brain. This morning, twenty 337 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: three away from six Bridge, let's go to our more 338 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: informed reporters around the country. Calum Proctor is with us 339 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: in Dunedin this morning. Calum, some deep earthquakes have been 340 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: discovered there. 341 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, morning, Ryan, and this is in one of the 342 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 9: country's least so mcley active regions, Southland. Otiga University research 343 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 9: has recorded these quakes buried up to forty kilometers around Southland, 344 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 9: and they've uncovered evidence of hidden faults. Researchers say most 345 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 9: of the shakes were too small to feel, but give 346 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 9: them hints about future quakes in the area. They say 347 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 9: findings will be incorporated into hazard models that will predict 348 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 9: the likelihood of any major shaking in Southland. They can't 349 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 9: determine where one will occur, but it gives them an 350 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 9: idea of how often quakes may happen. 351 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 2: All right, And how's your weather today? 352 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 9: Come partly cloudy but otherwise find few showers this evening 353 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 9: for Daned in the high sixteenth. 354 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, and she was such a good opinion piece 355 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: as well, and a good editorial.

Vincent Mekabinnie as a UK europe correspond Vincent, 438 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: what's going on here? 439 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Well? 440 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 13: The International Criminal Court a few hours ago issued these 441 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 13: arrest warrants for three individuals, one of them the Israeli 442 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 13: Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu, and also the former Defence secretary 443 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 13: You've Golant, as well as Mohammad d'ief of Hamas, although 444 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 13: Israel says that he was killed in an air strike 445 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 13: in July. The judges said in their statement there was 446 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 13: reasonable grounds that the three men wore criminal responsibility for 447 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 13: alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war 448 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 13: between Israel and Hamas. But both Israel and Hamas have 449 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 13: rejected these allegations. 450 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: All right, and what are these claims that Russia has 451 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: used an intercontinental ballistic missile against Ukraine? Is this being confirmed? 452 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 13: Yeah, there is some confusion around this claim. The Ukrainian 453 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 13: President Zelenski has come forward and said that the new 454 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 13: rocket was used and says that their intelligence says to 455 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 13: have the characteristics of an ICBM, So that is an 456 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 13: inter continental ballistic missile, the kind of missile that you 457 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 13: would attach a nuclear warhead to and fire it thousands 458 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 13: of kilometers. That would be a new move by Russia. 459 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 13: There's no claim that there was a nuclear warhead attached, 460 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 13: but the Ukrainian Foreign Mindustry is sharing the details and 461 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 13: intelligence they've got on the missile with partners so that 462 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 13: they can ascertain what exactly it was. The US is 463 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 13: disputing this, Russia is saying nothing at the moment. It comes, 464 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 13: of course, with an escalation this week, the attack of 465 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 13: missiles being provided by the US being given approval for 466 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 13: them to fire into Russian territory. These long range missiles 467 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 13: and the UK's storm shadowy missiles similarly also now being 468 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 13: allowed by the British Prime Minister Sikirstama to be allowed 469 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 13: to be shot further into Russia. We know that Russia 470 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 13: updated its nuclear doctrine earlier in the week. That was 471 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 13: seen as a bit of saber rattling. But if they 472 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 13: are using ICBMs, perhaps it is a sign that things 473 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 13: are getting even more tense in the region. 474 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your statesmans, And is it that things are 475 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: getting more tints in the region, which I mean obviously 476 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: they are, But is it just posturing a head of 477 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: Trump coming in and potential deal making. What's your scenes? 478 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 13: It does feel like posturing. But at all times, you know, 479 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 13: this could be this kind of situation could go incredibly wrong. 480 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 13: I mean that there are you know, new Ukraine. We 481 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 13: know it has you know, the like social novel, it 482 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 13: has other nuclear plants as well. If they're using these 483 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 13: kinds of weapons, if they go off site because you've 484 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 13: shot them down or something, it could cause damage to 485 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 13: infrastructure like that. I mean, it is an alarming because 486 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 13: one mistake one this calculation. If they do fire an 487 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 13: actual ICBM, how has anyone to know if they track 488 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 13: it on a satellite and it's moving, whether or not 489 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 13: it does have a nuclear warhead attached to it or not. 490 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 13: So it does feel like quite a tense moment. 491 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Vincent, thank you very much for that. 492 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: Vincent mcavinie, who's our UK europe correspondent, just gone thirteen 493 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 2: minutes away from six rain Bridge. Let's talk about this morning, 494 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: including this report from some economists about the state of 495 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: our economy and the government's intervention and what they need 496 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: to do. Blah blah, blah blah. You would have seen 497 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 2: it probably on our inz yesterday. It was put around 498 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: the Herald as well. We'll get to that in a second. 499 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: Those terrible cases of poisonings alcohol poisonings over in laos 500 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: So at least four people have now died. A further 501 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: eleven tourists are in hospital. It's pretty bad and it 502 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: all happened at the hostel and the hostel manages as well. 503 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 2: There were one hundred people having these so called vodka shots, 504 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: one hundred of them and only a few of them 505 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 2: got sick. And he said he bought the alcohol from 506 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: a certified distributor and said he didn't do anything to it, 507 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 2: so he didn't tamper with it, which I guess you 508 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: would say. But though investigating that one at the moment. 509 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: And Angela Merkele has a memoir coming out and in 510 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: it she reveals the advice that the Pope gave her 511 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: to deal with Donald Trump, which sounds interesting. You've got 512 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 2: Angela Merkele, you've got the Pope, and you've got Trump. 513 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 2: Apparently his advice was when dealing with Trump, bend, bend, bend, 514 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: but to make sure it doesn't break, whatever that means. Anyway, 515 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 2: She said it was a good chat that she had, 516 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: but that it was very, very difficult dealing with Donald Trump. 517 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: I'll be interested to read that men, while it's coming 518 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 2: out soon. Apparently eleven minutes away from six on news 519 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: Talk said b we're going to talk bitcoin and one 520 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: man's quest to get it out of the ground in 521 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 2: the UK. It's coming up in just a few minutes. 522 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 6: Ryan Bridge new for twenty twenty four on early edition 523 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 6: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 524 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: News talks. That'd be nine to six news talks. They'd 525 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: be great to have your company this morning. You might 526 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: have seen this new advice come out from the Ministry 527 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: of Health finally releasing its position on the use of 528 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: puberty blockers for kids in New Zealand. The cash report 529 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 2: that came out from the UK was very controversial and 530 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 2: said that the research was not there, it wasn't sufficient, 531 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: et cetera. So our brief, this is our Ministry of 532 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: Health brief says it's found significant limitations in the quality 533 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: of evidence for either the benefits or risks or lack thereof, 534 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: of the use of puberty blockers. This means there is 535 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: insufficient basis to say that puberty blockers are safe, or 536 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: that they are reversible or not so. In other words, 537 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: we just really have no idea that's for its use 538 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: as an intervention for gender dysphoria and adolescents. So the 539 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,959 Speaker 2: upside of this is basically we are no wiser than 540 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: we were before the report was written, and they need 541 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: more research done. It's just gone eight minutes away from 542 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: six Bryan Bridge, Right, does everybody know who Carpenter is? 543 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter. She's a New ash musicians of their song. 544 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: So she went to film a music video for one 545 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: of her new songs and this was in a church, 546 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: of all places, and it was quite provocative. This is 547 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: in New York. And the New York priests who let 548 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter film the provocative scenes for her music video 549 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: inside his church, Well, he's been sacked for obvious reasons. 550 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: It's a church. Apparently it showed a crucifix with profanity 551 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: printed on it. And also she was dancing on the 552 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: altar in a short black dress. Does it sounds very 553 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: doesn't sound very church like? Very congregation friendly? Does it 554 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: a seven minutes away from six News Talks? 555 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 6: He'd beg, Bryan Bridge. 556 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: Mike is here with us.

I did what I 569 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: thought was a really good editorial, Mike. And you know 570 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: the feeling when you do a good one. 571 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 5: A lot of people talk about your editorialism, how good 572 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 5: they are. Generally there's a lot of buzz around the usual. 573 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: It's bad as much buzz as yours. I'd say, no, 574 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: I got more bus Tell me, tell me do you 575 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: even shop? Whether shop? No shop period?
