1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Time after the States and Catherine Firk and Catherine good morning,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Good morning mate. Are you wearing heavy nitwear?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing heavy knitwhere Noah, are you asking me

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: about the heat weeds that's happening over here.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: Indeed, I'll come to that in a moment. Now, this

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 3: is the CEO thing yesterday with Boeing. Did anything material

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: come out of that apart from, you know, a show

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: for the cameras well, it was.

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 4: A show for the cameras. I'm sure sure you saw it.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: It was really quite emotional scenes with family members of

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: people who've died in those two deadly Bowing crashes in

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. They absolutely let the CEO,

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: Dave Calhoun, have it. They confronted him, some called him

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: a mass killer. Some painted their hands red and said

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: that the company and he himself had blood on his hands.

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: But what's interesting what's actually come out of it is

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: there is this renewed push now for the US Justice

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Department to lay criminal charges against the company and against

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 2: executives at the company. We already knew that they had

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: until July seven to make it decision whether they were

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: going to go ahead and do this, But now that

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: we've had this Senate hearing that really was quite extraordinary,

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: there is this renewed push for action against the company.

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: Relatives of the victims are asking the US Justice Department

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: to seek a fine of almost twenty five billion US

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: dollars that's more than forty billion New Zealand dollars. They

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: also want the authority to move forward with a criminal prosecution.

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: I do want to point out this all comes at

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: a time when we have just had another whistleblower come forward.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: This person claims the company is knowingly installing defective parts

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: in some of its aircraft. So it's certain feels like

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: whatever's going to happen, Boeing's troubles are getting worse before

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: they get better.

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: It's a scandal for the ages. Yeah.

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: The weather, so I was looking, funnily enough, a sort

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: of forecast for a hurricane into Texas and Mexico. So

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: you got that down south. So we're dealing with the

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: heat wise midwest northeast.

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: Right, Absolutely, we are dealing with a heat wave.

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: And look, I don't want to call Americans wines, but

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest. It is only twenty nine

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: degrees felsius at the moment in New York exactly. So

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: you and I probably are not going to really consider

44
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: that stupidly hot. But for Americans, it is quite warm

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: here this time of year. They're calling it an excessive

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: heat wave. Yesterday we did have eleven cities reach record highs.

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: That was in places like Ohio. Detroit. Pennsylvania also got

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: pretty warm. Today.

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: We've got seventy four million people from the Midwest to

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: the Northeast under these heat alerts. Here in New York,

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: the Governor Kathi Hokl has said the National Guard will

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: be on standby in case things get too bad this week.

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: I'm certainly still in long sleeves, so I don't.

54
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: Know what I'm sorry, So, is it forecast to get

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: worse than twenty nine for the national Guard? Or are

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: we getting the national Guard out four twenty nine?

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look again, I have to be totally honest.

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't totally myself understand what stress is at the moment,

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: because the forecast for the next couple of days is,

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: you know, thirty degrees thirty one. I think it's going

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: to get as high as thirty two. You know, yes,

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: that is warm for this time of year. Don't really

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: anticipate we're all going to be falling over fainting, but

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: they've got the National Guard on standby justin case. Certainly

65
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: on the West Coast there are a whole bunch of

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: wildfires you've probably seen affect in California, very early for

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: the fire season over there, and the heat is early

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: for this time of year, but not something your eye

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: would probably be losing a lot of sleep over.

70
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Very good context, Katherine, appreciate it very much. Go well.
