Two UK papers say the Duchess 38 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: of York, Sarah Ferguson, called g free Epstein the Supreme 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: Friend in a twenty eleven email. It was sent weeks 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: after she publicly capt ties with him. 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 6: Back in twenty eleven, Sarah Ferguson gave a newspaper interview 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 6: in which she was asked about her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, 43 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 6: the disgraced Peeda file. Now she said that she abhorred 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 6: pedophilia and described it as a gigantic error of judgment. 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 6: But according to the Sun newspaper and the Mail on Sunday, 46 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 6: just weeks after giving that newspaper interview, she was in 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 6: fact in contact with Epstein once again. 48 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: Her team says it was only to stop Epstein's suing 49 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: her for defamation, and that's. 50 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: The agenda on your radio and online on iheard Radio 51 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: Early Edition with Francesca Rudkin and one roof Love where 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you Live Newstalk ZEDB. 53 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: So yesterday was World Gratitude Day. Don't worry, I'm not 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: going to tell you to start journaling. But I did 55 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: have a really interesting conversation with my Sunday session Wellness 56 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: Contribute Aaron Ahara about the benefits of gratitude, which quickly 57 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: slipped into a conversation about how little people express gratitude 58 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: to each other these days. And Aaron was saying to me, look, 59 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: people don't even send thank you cards after a wedding 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: to say thank you for coming or thank you for 61 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: the gift, and I thought that was appalling. It was 62 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: one of those moments when you realize you're old. I 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: was brought up on the thank you card. I might 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: make children right thank you cards after every Christmas and birthday, 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: or they were pretty average. The art of letter writing 66 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: took a while to kick in. It probably debatable whether 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: it has already, but they will always appreciated. I just 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: think it's good manners, and you can't go wrong in 69 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: this world with some manners. Look, you don't need to 70 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: send a card to say thanks for everything. A text 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: is fine, maybe after a dinner. I like to send 72 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 2: a card if I've stayed with someone. But often these 73 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: days people don't bother with the thanks at all. It 74 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: is mostly younger generations who are more relaxed about saying 75 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: thanks these days. But maybe they should because research shows 76 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: practicing gratitude offers significant physical and psychological health benefits, including 77 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: lower blood pressure, improved immune function, better sleep, reduced sleep, 78 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: reduced stress, sorry and decreased anxiety and depression, and enhanced 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: self esteem. I reckon a few young people could do 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: with a bit of that love to hear from you? 81 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: Am I completely out of date? Is it not bad 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: form to just flag the thank yous? Is it perfectly 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: acceptable in twenty twenty five, not to bother with a 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: thank you cup, but I would have thought after you'd 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: gone to the effort of going to a wedding and 86 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: giving a nice, generous wedding gift, a card would be 87 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: the least you should get. You can text on ninety 88 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: two and ninety two. It is eleven past five. 89 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: You're with Early Edition News and Views you trust to 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: start your day. It's Early Edition with Francesca Runkin and 91 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: one roof Love where You Live news talks. 92 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: That'd be thirteen past five. So investor confidence has slumped 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: back to pandemic levels, and ASB survey out this morning 94 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: shows confidence it's just one percent sen for quarter two 95 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. That's the lower since twenty twenty, 96 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: but we're still well above the negative twenty five percent seen. 97 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: Then half of investors say they're very worried about global 98 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: issues hurting returns. ASB Senior wealth economist Chris tinant Brown 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: joins me. Now, thanks for your time. 100 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 7: Chris, Oh, good morning, Thanks for having me on. 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: So why is confidence so low? What's impacting it? 102 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 7: I think there's two or three things going on. One 103 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 7: is that offshore uncertainty investors are feeling a bit rattled 104 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 7: by what they're seeing overseas, but it's important to also 105 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 7: note that that hasn't necessarily translated into bad investment returns 106 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 7: for people that are invested in global markets. The other 107 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 7: things are the housing market, I think is surprising many 108 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 7: that it hasn't picked up the way you'd expect it 109 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: with all the reductions and mortgage rates that we've seen. 110 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 7: And there's a bit of mirroring of the weakness we're 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 7: seeing in consumer confidence within this investor confidence survey as well, 112 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 7: with people just not that confident in the overall economy 113 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 7: and outlook. 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: Is confidence different around the country it is. 115 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 7: It's interesting to see that confidence in Auckland is the 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 7: highest area, whereas the Lower North Island, which of course 117 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 7: includes Wellington, is the lowest, even though a lot of 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 7: the drivers are similar across these areas. But again we 119 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 7: see the same thing in consumer confidence. Wellington consumer confidence 120 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 7: is weakers than Auckland consumer confidence at the moment. 121 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: Okay, were they any areas we're confidence did lift yed? 122 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 7: I think the one thing that's really pleasing is that 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 7: confidence in managed funds is holding up, and likewise with 124 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 7: key we save us. So hopefully, although people are feeling 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 7: rattled by those global events, they're not chopping and changing, 126 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 7: and if they've stayed the course through the first half 127 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 7: of the year, they will have seen a recovery from 128 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 7: those April jitters, and I think that's helping the mood 129 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 7: for investors that are using those products. 130 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: Chris, how do we do deal with that disconnect that 131 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: you mentioned there before, whereby you know, we have this 132 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: lack of confidence and investment in marketing, but actually investments 133 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: are doing quite well. 134 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 7: I think the key thing there is it just highlights 135 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 7: the importance of getting advice when you're feeling nervous and 136 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 7: sticking with well thought out plans. People are saving for 137 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 7: retirement with key we Saver, for example. This won't be 138 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 7: the last time that we see a bit of global 139 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 7: volatility influencing the mood. But people stay the course, hopefully 140 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 7: they'll be able to achieve their longer term goal. So 141 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 7: I think that importance of getting advices is highlighted by 142 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 7: the survey. 143 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: What impact does low investor confidence have on the economy? 144 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 7: I think the first places in the housing market. At 145 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 7: the moment, Housing is very important for key we Ike, 146 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 7: so for people that are investing in the property market 147 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 7: and they're seeing houses go house prices go sideways. It 148 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 7: contributes to this lower level of activity that we're seeing 149 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 7: in the housing market. For other areas of the economy, 150 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 7: hopefully people just carry on using products like managed funds 151 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 7: and key we savor for their longer term savings goals. 152 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 7: So the other area of the economy, which is which 153 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 7: is impact I think is the overall picture of there's 154 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 7: lower interest rates that we've got within the economy. 155 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's not hugely helpful for the government, 156 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: isn't it when they're focuses on economic growth and investment. 157 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 7: That's that's that's right. I mean, the confidence is so 158 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 7: important for activity, particularly when you're looking at consumer confidence 159 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 7: and and and invest in business confidence. For investor confidence, 160 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 7: I think when we see it at these sorts of levels, 161 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 7: it's just really important for them for individuals and then 162 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 7: in turn for the overall economy for people just to 163 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 7: stick with those longer term plans that they've got. 164 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no panicking. Can we predict when we're going to 165 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: see investor confidence improve? 166 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 7: I think it's going to vary from asset class to 167 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 7: asset class. If people have got housing as there as 168 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 7: their main investment, and that's why they're feeling low at 169 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 7: the moment. Then we should see monetary policy work. We 170 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 7: think the housing market will eventually pick up.

But Brisbane with the extra east of course, 250 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 4: so yeah, they're you know a. 251 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: Lot of people were a lot of people were really 252 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: interested to see how the silver Ferns went last night 253 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: because there's a lot happening off the court. But of 254 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: course there's a professional sports women who got on the 255 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: court and South Africa didn't really seem to be a 256 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: problem winning was it seventy seven to fifty one? 257 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 4: I think they've dominated every quarter and you can't ask 258 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 4: more than that. I mean they've had a lot of 259 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: pressure on them, of course with the whole day, not 260 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 4: even told her fiasco whether she's going to remain on 261 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 4: as coach or not. And obviously some some problems there 262 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: within the team environment. But they've turned this around. They've 263 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 4: done exceptionally well. I think, yeah, commanding performance, I means, 264 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 4: can't do better than winning every quarter there and just 265 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: showcasing what talent they've got based in wiki, back in 266 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 4: the frame, et cetera. 267 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 5: And yeah, it's that's a fine e fit. 268 00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: When's the next game? 269 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 4: Oh you got me the it's well next to or 270 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 4: three days?

So you know it's a. 277 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 8: Looking in fine form so far, Andrew Alison, thank you 278 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 8: so much. 279 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: Good Francesca. 280 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: It's five to twenty four News Talks ab. 281 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 282 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: News Talks at Me. 283 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: It is five twenty six, so yesterday Health Minister Simeon 284 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: Brown announced one hundred million has been allocated for hospital 285 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: maintenance and refurbishment. It will fund twenty one upgrades around 286 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: the country. The money was set aside in the twenty 287 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: twenty five budget, listed under things like remediation redevelopment, but 288 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: at the time Treasury didn't say how much had been 289 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: allocated due to commercial sensibilities. But it has been announced 290 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: now and if you're a cynical person, you could think 291 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: it was time to distract us from the forty eight 292 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: hour strike five thy five hundred a CMS members are 293 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: undertaking this Tuesday and Wednesday, which will delay healthcare for 294 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: almost thirteen thousand patients. But it's been announced. It's a 295 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: little bit of an underwhelming announcement because the work the 296 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: money is funding, it's not sexy. It's the basic stuff 297 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: which needs to happen to keep the lights on in 298 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: some cases and improve services in others. Maternity services are 299 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: getting an upgrade at Ashburton Hospital. The Lake's District hospital 300 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: is getting an ed expansion, which kind of makes sense. 301 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Considering they're located in an adventure playground. Fungadi Hospitals outpatients 302 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: rooms have been upgraded so they can be used for 303 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: minor procedures, freeing up capacity in the hospital's eight large 304 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: theaters makes sense. Auckland City Hospital is getting an electricity 305 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: fixed to mitigate the risk of power failure, which sounds 306 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: kind of vital, and Manico Health Plant Park is getting 307 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: a new cancer infusion space, so you know that kind 308 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: of thing. The question, though, is whether this is enough 309 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: to achieve what the Minister keeps telling us he's focused 310 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: on providing New Zealanders with modern, resilient hospitals that can 311 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: deliver timely quality care. Well, no, because that's a ten 312 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: year vision. These small scale projects go some way though, 313 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: to addressing issues in different areas of the country and 314 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: will hopefully make a difference for patients. And these solutions 315 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: have been achieved by working out how to make current 316 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: facilities work better, which is a good approach. The opposition 317 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 2: has a course said it's not enough money, but it 318 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: never is, no matter who was doing the budgeting and 319 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: who is in opposition, there's never enough money. However, I 320 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: do meet clinicians who tell me quite often, we can 321 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: do better with the funding and facilities we already have. 322 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: Labor Health spokesperson the Aisha Veryl says the funds are insignificant, insufficient, 323 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: I should say, to meet the needs of a growing 324 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: and aging population. Well, few policymakers and politicians are prepared 325 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: to deal with the long term impacts of an aging population, 326 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: much like how few want to really deal with the 327 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: superannuation issue. We're all like there to be more money. 328 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: We all want an equitable and sustainable house system. We 329 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: all want modern and resilient hospitals. How we are considering 330 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: the labor disputes and the large hospital projects already on 331 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: the government's hand. The reality is this is as likely 332 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: as good as it's going to get. 333 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Francisca, so keen to hear from you. 334 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: Are you pleased to hear about this money? I mean 335 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: it is kind of the you know, the money that 336 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 2: we need just to keep the lights on and keep 337 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: things moving on.

We've seen a bit of 513 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 2: chaos that made you European airports. What's with a cyber ticket? 514 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? 515 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 9: Well I think look if anyone from New Zealand knows 516 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 9: anyone or is flying in and out of major European 517 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 9: hubs that just need to check break carefully with the 518 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 9: airlines about delays, particularly leaving. That is because it's a 519 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 9: system that basically operates the online check in and also 520 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 9: some of the luggage computer programs are said to be 521 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 9: at risk. So the main airports are Brussels, Berlin, Dublin 522 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 9: and also Heathrow, Heathrow of course being the UK's biggest airport. 523 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 9: It's thought is cyber attack has knocked out the check 524 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 9: in and baggage systems. They are run by a software 525 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,479 Speaker 9: provider called Collins Aerospace and lots of airlines have them 526 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 9: so they don't have to have their own system as 527 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 9: it were, so they use their system and that would 528 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 9: appear its new software allowing different airlines to use the 529 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 9: same check in desks and boarding gates at an airport 530 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 9: has been affected. Now we don't yet know definitely that 531 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 9: it's a cyber attack, but it's a hack. But we 532 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 9: do know that things are going wrong and many airlines 533 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 9: are having to use paper and pen manual check in 534 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 9: and boarding, and that of course is taking much longer. 535 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 9: I think some of the biggest problems now because he 536 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 9: seems to be getting back not to normal by any means, 537 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 9: but canceling and delaying less flights is that at Brussels, 538 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 9: it's thought around half the flights there are going to 539 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 9: be delayed or canceled. 540 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: And Gavin, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson is in 541 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: the news again. I've just finished reading Andrew Lowney's book 542 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: entitled and Nothing would surprise me. 543 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 9: Yes, I'm afraid more bad news for the Ryles and 544 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 9: even greater connections with Jeffrey Epstein coming back to haunt people. 545 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 9: So in this particular instance, it's been revealed that Sarah 546 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 9: Ferguson in twenty eleven gave an interview in which the 547 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 9: interview asked her about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. It's 548 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 9: alleged that he gave her roughly forty thousand New Zealand 549 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 9: dollars in order to pay off a debt after that 550 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 9: and sorry. During the interview, she was asked about her 551 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 9: friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, of course, the late sex offender, 552 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 9: and she said, oh, I'm going to have nothing more 553 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 9: to do with him. I apport pediphilia and any sexual 554 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 9: abuse of children. I cannot state more strongly. This is 555 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 9: a quote that I know a terrible, terrible error of 556 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 9: judgment was made my having anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. 557 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 9: She says what he did was wrong and which he 558 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 9: was rightly jailed. But it's now been revealed that actually 559 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 9: shortly having after having said she wants nothing to do 560 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 9: with Jeffrey Epstein, guess what she emailed saying he was 561 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 9: the supreme friend. 562 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 13: There we go. 563 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Gavin Gray. That book entitle does 564 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: actually a joint men. Where about the Duke and the Duchess? 565 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: A lot of fascinating information in there. It is ten 566 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: to six, Friend, Chase Good is the government spending one 567 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: hundred million of cash from the budget on upgrading hospitals 568 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: across the country. Twenty one projects will get fundings for 569 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: things like car parks, new trends at loungers, Edie upgrade 570 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: and labs. Simeon Brown is the Health Minister, and he 571 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: joins me, now, good morning. 572 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 13: Good morning, how are you good? 573 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: Thank you? Now these new projects tell me where are 574 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: they going to be delivered by? 575 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 13: So the twenty one new projects will be delivered. There 576 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 13: is a start as soon as possible. They'll be delivered 577 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 13: over most in twenty twenty six and some of them 578 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 13: going into twenty twenty seven, and ultimately this is about 579 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 13: looking at how we can use our current facilities, make 580 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 13: them more efficient, deliver more care for patients, and also 581 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 13: to provide a number of construction jobs up and down 582 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 13: the country while they're underway. 583 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: Twenty one projects. As you say, across the country, it's 584 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 2: quite a lot. Is one hundred million enough? 585 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 13: These are mostly small scale projects. The largest is the 586 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 13: new infusion clinic at Menicow Health Park, and ultimately about 587 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 13: making sure we use the space that we've got more 588 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 13: efficiently and effectively. Look, we always need to deliver more 589 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 13: into our health infrastructure. We delivered as part of our 590 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 13: budget also major investment in Nelson Hospital, major rebuild of 591 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 13: Nowson Hospital. Last friday our signed the new We're Healthy 592 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 13: z and signed a new to need in hospital main 593 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 13: construction contract. So it's great to get that construction contract underway. 594 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 13: So we have to also be delivering these major rebuilds, 595 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 13: but we also have to make sure we are delivering 596 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 13: for those frontline clinicians in these hospitals so that they're 597 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 13: able to be able to deliver that care for patients 598 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 13: that they wish to and they need to. 599 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sensible and it's good to see that you're 600 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: utilizing existing facilities, but is this a bit of a 601 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 2: band aid solution? Are we doing just enough to keep 602 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: these hospitals we. 603 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 9: Came to do? 604 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 13: We have to do the major rebuilds, but we also 605 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 13: need to make sure that the current clinical space that 606 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 13: we've got for our clinicians and our patients is up 607 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 13: to scratch and is they able to be used as 608 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 13: efficiently and effectively as possible. So, for example, one of 609 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 13: the one of the projects that Fungerra Hospital is actually 610 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 13: putting an integrated operations center in place. Currently operations center 611 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 13: is spread across the hospital. Bringing it together into one 612 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 13: place means that that hospital can be operated more efficiently 613 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 13: and effectively. So that's a good thing for the star 614 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 13: Fare and it's going to make a huge difference for 615 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 13: patients as well. So, yes, we have to do the 616 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 13: major rebuilds, we also have to make sure we're using 617 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 13: what we've currently got as efficient and effectively as possible 618 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 13: to deliver patients. 619 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: And have these hospitals been able to decide what their 620 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: priorities are where they need something to go. 621 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 13: Yes, it's been that the projects have come through from 622 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 13: the local hospital leadership up to as reallocated the money 623 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 13: in the budget. There's been a process to out to 624 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 13: identify what those projects are and then we've been able 625 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 13: to sign that off as ministers and now get onward 626 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 13: delivering which is the key priority from now. 627 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: So will there be more money allocated for further upgrades 628 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: in next year's budget, you know, because unfortunately maintenance and 629 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 2: upgrades just keeps coming on it. 630 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, look we can't obviously talk about next year's 631 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 13: budget will be yet. We still we're just starting those processes. 632 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 13: But there's a lot of work underway at Health New 633 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 13: Zealand looking at business cases for future hospital upgrades. We 634 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 13: announced the Health Infrastructure Plan earlier in this year, I 635 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 13: think was in April, which looked at the ten year 636 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 13: view of what's needed to be delivered or health infrastructure 637 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 13: across the country. A lot of major hospital rebuilds. The 638 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 13: next three big priorities are Total Hospital, Hawkes Bay Hospital 639 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 13: and Palmers North Hospitals. So a lot of work going 640 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 13: into the planning for major hospital rebuilds. But as I 641 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 13: said that, we also need to make sure we're using 642 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 13: what we've currently got as efficiently and effectively as possible 643 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 13: so that patients and clinicians have modern, reliable infrastructure and 644 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 13: get that care and a time and quality manner. 645 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Minister. That was Health Minister Simeon Brown. 646 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: It is six to six. 647 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on an early edition with 648 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: Francesca Roudger and one roof Love where you Live News 649 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: talks at me. 650 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: As Meg and earlier I was mentioning with neither when 651 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: we were sharing a microphone just before. There is a 652 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: rare partial solar eclipse happening at dawn today. You can 653 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 2: see it between six am and eight am around the country. 654 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: The only problem is is a little bit of cloud 655 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: coverage which might be making things a little bit difficult. 656 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: So this is a clip that it was going to 657 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 2: be again before sunrise is going to reach its peak 658 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 2: around seven am, with the moon covering up to seventy 659 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: percent of the sun in parts of the Lower South Island, 660 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 2: about sixty percent the further north you come. So it's 661 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 2: it's going to look quite cool. It's going to look 662 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 2: a little bit like the Apple logo. That's what it's 663 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: going to look like. But here's the thing. As much 664 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: as we're talking about this, you cannot look at it 665 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: with the naked eye. You need to have your solar 666 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 2: eclipse glasses. That is very important. So there's going to 667 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: be a little bit of cloud, yes over much of 668 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: the North Island, which is a shame. But I'm telling 669 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: you what the place to be if you want to 670 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: take a look at this as christ Church, they stand 671 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 2: out as the one with the chance of clear good 672 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 2: skies this morning.
