00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: Logan Chair to US Correspondence with US.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Hey Logan, good evening.

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: Hey, so we've got the new semester starting in the

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Gaza process are going on again, are they?

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Well, you'll recall the heavy protesting earlier in the year,

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: which of course results in one of the campus buildings

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: been stormed by protesters and occupied before arms police broken. Now, actually,

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: until a couple of weeks ago, I actually lived a

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: couple of blocks down from Columbia University, and there was

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: a time where every night we actually couldn't get to

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: sleep because of the police helicopters hovering over the upper

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: west side or the sirens from the cop cars going off.

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: But now there is of course a new semester sizzing,

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: and we are seeing new protests the same cause, calling

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: for the university to divest from companies with links to Israel.

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: These protests have however, been somewhat smaller and security is

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: so much TiSER. For example, used to be able to

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: just wander through the campus and have a look around

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: as a member of the public, but now you have

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: to show student ID or staff ID and there is

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: a very heavy police presence around the campus. There've also

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: been a couple of arrests, So a very different stant

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: to a semester than what someone might have expected not

26
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: too long ago. What are the.

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: Cops going to do? Are they going to just maintain

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: a presence but not actually crack down?

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: That is the planet this stands. But as we're seeing

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, they're not afraid to

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: make arrest. They are going to try and avoid the

32
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: situation which we saw earlier in the year, which were

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: large numbers of students occupying not just the site but

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: also buildings as part of the Columbia University campus. They're

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: going to want to try and make sure that the

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: university business can continue and that the education there can

37
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: go on. But certainly a big increase in police and

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: security presence on that site, even compared to a couple

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: of months ago. It's been a very quick increase there.

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: What do we know about this Chinese spy who's busted

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: working for the New York governors?

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, but this is probably the most spectaculous I

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: have seen in this state. So a former staffer to

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: the New York Governor was arrested today for being a

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: Chinese communist spy. Now, according to the official court documents

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: that were released, Linderson was working for the Currington previous

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: governor officers of New York while also working for China

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: and receiving luxury gifts. Now what luxury gifts, you might ask, Well,

49
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: that included a multimillion dollar home in a glitzy Long

50
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Island suburb, a holiday home in Hawaii, ferrari range drover,

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: tickets to events, and even now this is my favorite

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: salted ducks prepared by a Chinese government officials personal chef.

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: This is all, of course alleged in court documents. Now,

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: in return, she was accused of boosting New York politicians

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: relationships with China and also allegedly interfering at attempts by

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: the Taiwanese government to engage with the New York Governor's office.

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Now she has pleaded not guilty today, although it was

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: fired in March last year. But of course a big

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: embarrassment for the New York Governor's office.

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Totally. Have you tried, by the way, this honey juice

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: that everybody's drinking.

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Yes, well, that is of course at the US Open

63
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: and as you know, I've been at the US Open

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot this past week, and oh boy, oh boy.

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: One thing of luds our professional tennis in America is

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: that fans love to drink, and that cocktail, the Honey

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Juice or if in America, the honey deucee, has been

68
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: increasing in popularity. Now. Last year they sold more than

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty thousand of these cocktails at the

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: US Open, and they're expecting to sell more this year,

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: all for the price. And I hope you're sitting down

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: of thirty seven New Zealand dollars for one cocktail now

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: that includes vodka, lemonade Rasbylkure and three pieces of honey.

74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: Due mellon. Now to your question, have I partaken in

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: saying cocktail? Well, I confess I haven't tried it, but

76
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: very much on purpose, because if I did, I suspect

77
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: no one at One News will be guessing any tennis

78
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: coverage from me anytime soon. That's given how much money

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: they are making, it's surely a half decent.

80
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Please please promise me that just one time, you, just

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: when you're finished with your work, you will go and

82
