I can tell you 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: that much. The Strait of Umus, which is the very 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: vital route where you get a lot of all a 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: lot of gas through twenty to thirty percent of the 45 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: world's supply. So the Ranians have said we'll shut it down, 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: and they haven't officially shut it down, but apparently if 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: you're driving a tanker through there at the moment, there 48 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: will be a VHF something in your ear that says, hey, 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: get out of here.

This is something we should 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: be across this morning. Probably we'll ask Nikola Willis about 52 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 2: all of that. Of course she's on the program talking 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: about a bunch of other stuff. We can ask her 54 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: about that too.

We'll talk about that too. Nine after five. 59 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on your radio and online on Iheard Radio 60 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Early Edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love where 61 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: you Live News Talks. 62 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: The'd been eleven after five.

So this was 64 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: taken a thousand people, taken just after White Tongue weekend. 65 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: So you've got your top five issues people care about 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. Inflation costs a living way out ahead 67 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: still and labor is number one on that. Healthcare, hospitals, 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: labor number one on that. The economy, labor and national 69 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: draw house prices and housing, labor, crime, law and order, 70 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: national so on three out of the four of the 71 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: five laborer is in charge. On one nationalism charge and 72 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: on the other it's a dead heap, Brian. Good news 73 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: for farmers this morning. Government's allowing them to use their 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: can we savored by their first home or farm. Previously 75 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: you miss out because you have to live in the 76 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: property while work requires you to stay in some employer housing. 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: Not just farmers wh will benefit. By the way, Nicola, 78 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: what is the finance minster with us this morning? Mister, 79 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Ryan. Hey, before we get to this, 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: have you had any updates from officials anything to worry 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: about with the Middle East? You know read the economy 82 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: re oil. 83 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: Yes, I have had briefings from the Treasury. So at 84 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 5: this stage, because we don't know the duration and the 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: scale of what's happening in the Middle East. That's too 86 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 5: early to properly assess the economic impacts. Of course, what 87 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 5: we'll be watching today is what happens with the price 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 5: of oil, which of course could be impacted by the 89 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: disruption and the structure, and that obviously has implications for 90 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 5: inflation and economic activity. So we will be watching that closely, 91 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 5: and that and also for any possible supply chain impacts 92 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: for our exporters. And then in due course as the unfolds, 93 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 5: there will be the question of whether it has an 94 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: impact on overall global economic growth, which of course always 95 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: has implications for New Zealand. 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: Lots of risks there for US then, and these the 97 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: Golf Cooperation Council that together there are six largest export markets. 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. And of course what we saw during 99 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: the last strikes on around last Journe was that initially 100 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 5: you saw it or prices spike in the morning, they 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 5: came down by the evening. You saw initial disruption and 102 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 5: markets and then eventually actually the SMP the cupboard. But 103 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 5: of course this is a very different event and so 104 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 5: it's difficult to predict what we'll see over the next 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 5: twenty four hours. 106 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: Do you want the Americans to stop? Do you want 107 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: these rallies to stop? 108 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 5: Well, of course New Zealand always calls for diplomatic engagement. 109 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 5: In this case, we do want to see the leftover 110 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: regime in Iran engaging in diplomatic. 111 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: Talks, right, So we do want that. We do want 112 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: the Americans to stop bombing and the Israelies to stop 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: bombing and to start talking. That is our position. 114 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: Well, we join the international community and wanting this crisis 115 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 5: to end as quickly as possible. So we don't want 116 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 5: the regional escalation. We want a resumption of negotiations. We 117 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 5: want adherents international law, and we're urging the Iranian leadership 118 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 5: to seek a negotiated solution. 119 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: Are you urging the same of Trump? 120 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: Obviously, negotiation requires both sides. 121 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: Hey, let's go to talk about the key we saver changes. 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: This is great for farming, not just farmers, though, I 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: want to make clear it's basically anyone who has to 124 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: work live somewhere else for their job. 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 5: Well, it's people typically in rural communities. Because if you're 126 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 5: a teacher at a remote school, if you're a police 127 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 5: officer and a remote community. Often the reality of your 128 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 5: workers that your employer provides you a house close to 129 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 5: that workers, and often the case for people working on farms. 130 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 5: And what that has meant is many rural workers are 131 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: locked out of using the key. We save a provision 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 5: by which you can use your savings to buy a house, 133 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: and our viewers, if you're working hard to get ahead, 134 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 5: the fact that you have to live where your workers 135 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 5: shouldn't exclude you from getting on the property ladder. 136 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: Do you know how many might actually take it up? 137 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 5: Well, it's difficult to estimate because we don't have the 138 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 5: number of service tendancies on farms. There are thousands of 139 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 5: farms and many many workers have a servants tendency. In 140 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 5: terms of government employees, we know that there are around 141 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 5: eight hundred defense personnel living in service tendancies, about two 142 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: hundred education personnel, two hundred police, about five hundred health workers. 143 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: All right, we'll see we would get to with that. Hey, 144 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: what the IPSOS issues monitor I mentioned at the start 145 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: of this interview. How can you labor be ahead of 146 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: you on cost of living even though inflation is lower 147 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: and interest rates are coming down? Is this a sales 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: job that you're not getting across well. 149 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: I just think the cost of living has been and 150 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 5: is so tough on people because they've gone through several 151 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 5: years in which inflation was really high, prices spiked up 152 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 5: really high, and the reality is that while incomes have 153 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 5: been rising, they haven't caught up with those price rises yet. 154 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 5: So every aquas are funding it tough when they go 155 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: to the supermarket, when they fill up at the tank. 156 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: So the fail marks fear, the fail marks fear well. 157 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 5: I think the reality is people are really feeling the 158 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 5: cost of living. The question that the election should center 159 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 5: on is what is the plan for addressing that, And 160 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 5: our commitment as the government has been you've got to 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 5: keep the basics right, spending and inflation under control. You've 162 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 5: got to make sure you do that or will go 163 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 5: back to the big inflation spikes we head under Labor. 164 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 5: I'm not hearing any solutions from Labor yet. I get 165 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 5: that it's a major issue. It's the big issue people 166 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 5: raised with me that The question is what would later do? 167 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: I think that'd make it worse. 168 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: Right, But you're still spending more than grant though, aren't you. 169 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 5: Well not as a proportion of the economy. We've reduced 170 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: spending the proportion of the economy while investing in the 171 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 5: frontline services that kewais. 172 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: Really very quickly on supermarkets. I heard that Tesco didn't 173 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: have a meeting with you last year. Are we going 174 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: to get anything out of these RFIs you would asked 175 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: for a year ago. 176 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 5: Well, the RFIs were directly what resulted, and the changes 177 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,119 Speaker 5: we have made to the fast track legislation for SIS markets, 178 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 5: to the building content requirements for SUS markets, the digital 179 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 5: labeling trialing trial we're embarking on those are all direct 180 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 5: feedback from the RFI. I'm as disappointed as anyone else. 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 5: But the international players don't seem interested in coming to 182 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 5: the New Zealand market. The reality is we've got none 183 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 5: of them very big incumbents. Well in terms of. 184 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: You've made the changes, you've got the you've made the changes, 185 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: none of them want to come. I mean it is, 186 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: But isn't it just because we're too small and far away? 187 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: You know it was never going to happen. 188 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 5: Well, actually, what we do see is we've got a 189 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 5: market where you've got two really dominant players in the 190 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 5: North and South Island, and that makes it a difficult 191 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 5: market to enter. Profitably and so we are seeing some 192 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 5: expansion occurring Costco's indicated interest in that expansion. We are 193 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 5: seeing some new Zealand operated grocery providers with plans to 194 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 5: do more in the future. We want to encourage that, 195 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 5: we want to support that. 196 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: All right, minis to appreciate your time this morning.

There's a lot of 220 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 6: pressure and he's done extremely well to get those parts 221 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 6: in and take it out. 222 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: Very cool.

We're 229 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: facing South Africa New. 230 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 6: It's going to face soth Africa now yes in the 231 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 6: semi finals of course to the African home against Zimbabwe, 232 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: but we've also going to the match at the moments, 233 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 6: so India against West Indies that's going to decide that 234 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 6: second semi final against England. Last I saw I think 235 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 6: India ninety two for two in the tenth over, so 236 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 6: about halfway there towards a total of one ninety six 237 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 6: against the West Indies to see who will be that opponent. 238 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 6: But if it wasn't India would be quite a turn 239 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 6: up for the box. Really no subcontinental team making the 240 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 6: semi finals on the sub continent, so that would be 241 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 6: a bit of a rarity. But we'll see what happens there. 242 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 6: But New Zealand well getting there in the end, so 243 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 6: of course Pakistan unable to alter the course of New 244 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 6: Zealand going through those last war. 245 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: Now to Vegas, loads of famous people, their loads of 246 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: action and fun from the Crowns.

Make it 254 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 6: this real circus every time. 255 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: Dravaganza. 256 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 6: Extravaganza, Yeah that's the one. But they're getting punters along 257 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 6: and just trying to build the game, et cetera. And 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 6: it looks like quite the fun event, I must say 259 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 6: from a distance. 260 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't know what it would actually be 261 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: like being there. How much sleep anybody's getting? 262 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's that's Vegas for your and you, thank you, 263 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: Andrew Ortison was sport for you. 264 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: Monday morning, twenty three minutes after five. Now Susan has texted, well, 265 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: it's it's not Susan. I think it's an example about 266 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: a Susan. But this is about the key we saver changes. Ryan. 267 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 2: What about Susan who lives in Hamton, but all of 268 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 2: a sudden her job has up and relocated to Auckland. 269 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: She can't obviously buy a house there because house prices 270 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: an Auckland. Third, why can't you buy a house with 271 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: a kiwisaver and live out of town? It is a 272 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: good question. This change that they've made only applies to 273 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 2: basically service workers who are required to live somewhere. Like 274 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: if you work for the Defense Force or you're a 275 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: farmer and you're required to live in a certain place 276 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: and a certain house as part of the job, then 277 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: you can use your kW saver to buy a house 278 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: somewhere else, but it won't apply to individual people like you. 279 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: For example here okay of Susan. Unfortunately nine two nine two. 280 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: We'll look more into that IPSOS poll. Next News TALKSB 281 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: the early. 282 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: Edition full the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB. 283 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: News TALKSB is twenty six minutes after five. We have 284 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: a new issues poll out this morning tells you what 285 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: the issues are people actually care about. It's from IPSOS 286 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: people taken after White Thing and weekends. That's for February. 287 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: The numbers are bad for National because they should be 288 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: winning on more of the issues, but Luxon won't hate 289 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: them because they're going in the right direction on a 290 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: few of the key ones. Significant increase their words not mine. 291 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: Significant increase on the cost of living for National after 292 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: a period of trending in the wrong direction. Another significant 293 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: increase on healthcare and hospitals for National, closing the gap 294 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: from nineteen to twelve points since October, with Labour so 295 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: still behind but catching up, and after being overtaken on 296 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: the economy, they've come back to basically draw with the reds. Interestingly, 297 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: concern from voters about poverty and inequality is trending down 298 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: despite the big push in the media last week. What's 299 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: that about the reality is that Labour is still ahead 300 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: though on three of the five issues nationally head on 301 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: one and they are dead even on another. But no election, 302 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: as you know, is one or lost on a single liar, 303 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: is it? Although COVID and twenty twenty and cost of 304 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: living in twenty twenty three were dominant. What the election 305 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: will come down to, As I've always said, and everyone 306 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: is all always known as Winston Peters. Now he has 307 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: told me, he has told us that he will not 308 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: form a government with Labor if one Hapkins is in charge, 309 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: and two it needs propping up by the Greens. All 310 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: to party Marty, he says they're nuts. So as long 311 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: as the polls stay roughly where they are, the National 312 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: Party strategists will be sticking largely to the same script 313 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: and the same game plan as we just heard from 314 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis a few moments ago, and wait at the 315 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: altar for Winston, barring, of course, any campaigns snaffoos that 316 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: might get any of the above into trumble and offside 317 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: with us the voters. Gray and Bridge, speaking of mister 318 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: Peters as Foreign minister, he's off to Argentina. I believe 319 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: he said yesterday South America anyway, and he gave a 320 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: stand up on the situation and around before leaving. 321 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 7: It will be very difficult in the risky cities. So 322 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 7: if you're out in the countryside and you can't get 323 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 7: away and give it a go otherwise to trying to 324 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 7: say to stay inside and we'll see our things develop. 325 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 7: But it's very, very difficult for us this far away 326 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 7: from personal circumstances to tell me what to do. Mind you, 327 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 7: We've been telling them for weeks to get ready just 328 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 7: in case this happened. 329 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: He did come on the show last week, didn't he 330 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: on my Herald show and say get out? I said, 331 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: what are you? What's her message to any kiwis in Iran? 332 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: Get out?

So we're hearing from the Defense 481 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 13: Secretary some vague details about how at an army base, 482 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 13: a British Army base, there was a strike what was 483 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 13: described as a matter of a few or several hundred meters, 484 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 13: so obviously a distance away, but in terms of being 485 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 13: quite close in realistic that's pretty close. That was a 486 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 13: strike in Bahrain from an Iranian missile. The UK is 487 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 13: urging Iran not to indiscriminately fire these missiles off because 488 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 13: the UK did not participate in the US Israeli action. 489 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 13: The Defense Secretary says it's for the US to set 490 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 13: out the legal basis for his actions.

Being careful I suppose not to 493 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 13: anger Donald Trump, but at the same time wanting to 494 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 13: hold that option open, I guess. But nevertheless, so the 495 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 13: UK is saying to those in the Middle East, British nationals, 496 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 13: stay undercover, stay safe, and are really urging people in 497 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 13: those areas to be very very careful. But certainly that 498 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 13: firing near that base in Iran has near that base 499 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 13: Bahrain rather really quite shocking. 500 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what about the flights the British air Wives, 501 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: Virgin Atlane Tik they're all grounded some or pausing some. 502 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 13: Yeah, massive delays carrying on for some because the hubs 503 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 13: are plentiful in the United Arab Emirates and in some 504 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 13: of the other Middle Eastern countries as well, where the 505 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 13: airports are simply used to stop over places for Britons 506 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 13: to go further on to the Maldives for instance, or 507 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 13: on to India, or on to the on to the 508 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 13: Far East. So the idea that the airspace in those 509 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 13: hubs has closed has meant massive flight redirections has led 510 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 13: to lots of cancelations. It is being estimated that I 511 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 13: think tens of thousands again to be affected by this, 512 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 13: and that's some British Airways and virgin as you said, 513 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 13: both the big airlines. They're saying, right, we're canceling flights 514 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 13: to all these destinations or having to give the whole 515 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 13: area or on birth for flights that would normally fly 516 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 13: over them. And also the Foreign off is saying, if 517 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 13: you don't need to go, don't go to a whole 518 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 13: list of these countries in the Middle East because at 519 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 13: the moment they're saying it quite simply is not safe. 520 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Thanks for that update. Kevin Gray are 521 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 2: UK europe correspondent. It is eighteen sorry twelve minutes away 522 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: from six Ryan Bridge So as you've been hearing or 523 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: kicking it off in the Middle East over the weekend's. 524 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 14: The great, proud people of Iran. I say tonight that 525 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 14: the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered, 526 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 14: don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will 527 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 14: be dropping everywhere. When we are finished take over your government, 528 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 14: it will be yours to take. 529 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: So he wants regime change, but he wants the Iranians 530 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: to help him do it. Basically around supreme leader that 531 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: I had told the Homini has been killed. That has 532 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: been confirmed by both sides. Now other leaders have been killed, 533 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: not sure exactly who at this point in the joint 534 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: UIs has RAETI strikes on Tehran. Tehran responded with miss strikes. 535 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 2: Reporter Dubai in the UAE Kantar's capital, Doha, bah Ray 536 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: and Kuwait, anywhere they can get to. Basically, you might 537 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: find an American. David Smith, Washington Bureau, Chief of The Guardian, 538 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: joins US Live. David, what is the latest from Washington? 539 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 15: Hi? Well, Donald Trump has been doing some media interviews. 540 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 15: He told Fox News that some forty eight leaders have 541 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 15: been killed so far in Iran, which I guess you 542 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 15: know is going to raise a technical question, you know, 543 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 15: when does it constitute regime change? How deep does it 544 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 15: have to go. In a separate interview with Atlantic Magazine, 545 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 15: Trump said Iran's new leadership wants to talk to him, 546 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 15: and he has agreed. He said, said, you know, they 547 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 15: should have done it sooner. They waited too long. But 548 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 15: he's he's happy to talk now. So I guess there's 549 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 15: a hint there of a beginning of an end to this, 550 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 15: but we're still a long way off. In the meantime, 551 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 15: Billy Iran is striking back and hitting Israel and the 552 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 15: United Arab Emirates, And in the meantime, we've had the 553 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 15: first report of US service members among casualties. Three military 554 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 15: personnel killed and five more seriously wounded, according to the 555 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 15: US Central Command. 556 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: Right, how long does it go? I mean, you hear 557 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: Nitya who's saying this is going the bombing will go 558 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: on for at least days from here. What do you think? 559 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think there's an interestingtention there because Benjamin Methiinia, 560 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 15: who Israeli Prime Minister, probably very influential in getting us 561 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 15: to this point in the first place. He's always craved 562 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 15: regime change in Iran and past the US presidents were 563 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 15: not receptive to that, but despite the friction between them, 564 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 15: sometimes Trump was. And you know, this is his ambition realized, 565 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 15: and I'm sure Methana who would like to see it 566 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 15: through for as long as possible. On the other hand, 567 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 15: I think the gravitational pull from Washington will be in 568 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 15: the opposite direction. There will be many members of Congress 569 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 15: who already feel slighted by this, who feel that Trump 570 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 15: failed to get their consent as he should have done, 571 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 15: and calling it unconstitutional and unlawful. They will say the Trump, 572 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 15: you should take the win, the fact that amadinijhad and 573 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 15: so many others sorry Ayatolla, how many I should say, 574 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 15: and reportedly for the president, Amadinahad and others have been killed, 575 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 15: and get out as soon as possible before more American 576 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 15: lives are lost and before the financial cost of this 577 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 15: piles up. And right now very hard to say which 578 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 15: way it will go. I think Trump's latest remarks about 579 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 15: talking to remnants of the Ranian regime, you know, indicate 580 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 15: eight that he would probably like to wrap this up 581 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 15: sooner rather than later. 582 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, David, appreciate your time. David Smith, Washington, Bureier 583 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 2: chief for The Guardian at nine minutes away from six 584 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge. By the way, traders are telling Router's that 585 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: the price of ren crude over the weekend or Sunday 586 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: over the counter up ten percent to eighty dollars a barrel, 587 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: and Iran pumping four point seven million barrels a day 588 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 2: last year. That's four point four percent of global supplies. 589 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: The real issue is the straight up Formers, which they've 590 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: threatened to close, which is thirty odd percent of oil 591 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: and gas for the whole world. It's eight to six 592 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: News TALKSB. 593 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day earlier 594 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote Love where you live. 595 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: News TALKSB flicks away from six on NEWSTALKSB. Yeah, so 596 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: the price of oil probably goes, it'll spike a bit 597 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: and it'll come back a bit. This is what happened 598 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: last year anyway. Nicola Willis told us this morning, same 599 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 2: with Key. We save the balance as they'll go up 600 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: and down a bit and basically it's volatile. We just 601 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: don't look really unless you have to. Mike, good morning, 602 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: How eating's Ryan. How was the weekend? 603 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 9: It was a fair well, it was I don't have 604 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 9: time to go into it. But it was troubled on 605 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 9: a personal level. But details maybe at a later time. 606 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 9: I'll possibly saw the exclusive to Woman's Dale or The 607 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 9: Hero on Sunday one or the other. But nevertheless, I 608 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 9: got through it okay, good and it was no. No, 609 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 9: I don't apologize. 610 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 2: It made it sound very dramatic. 611 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 9: Well it wasn't dramatic. It wasn't overly dramatic. It just 612 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 9: required me to do a bunch of stuff to fix 613 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 9: things up that shouldn't have happened. Goodness, But my wife 614 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 9: gave me a very good pip talk as I went 615 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 9: to bed last night. She goes, you, you're such a doer. 616 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 9: You're so good at putting things right. And I thought, oh, 617 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 9: it's very nice. 618 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 2: And that made you feel good. Of course it did. 619 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 9: But we got through that. We're not through it yet. 620 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 9: It's an on game story. 621 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 2: Well it's not a can you just tell us what 622 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: it is? 623 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 9: No, So it's actually no big deal. 624 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 2: I learned a lot. Is it a leak something, let's 625 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: call it a leak. 626 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 9: So what was interesting about it was and trying to 627 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 9: fix it and talking to people about fixing stuff. I 628 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 9: learned a lot I thought, this is interesting. I thought, 629 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 9: even though this is a pain in my ass right now, 630 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 9: this is actually quite interesting. And so I'm putting some 631 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 9: things in place in my life that will future proof, okay, 632 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 9: my circumstances. 633 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 2: Because I don't imagine your very hands on, very very 634 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: little hands on me. 635 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 9: I may let's get some experts on, very impatient with 636 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 9: the getting the experts onto it, so the experts need 637 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 9: to be there fourthwith. So there's there's that element of 638 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 9: tension around it. But the good news is I will 639 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 9: prevail now, of course, and that's all that counts. But 640 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 9: what I did enjoy yesterday was the juxtaposition in watching 641 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 9: all the coverage, I mean, Fox was like it could 642 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 9: have been a. 643 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: Football game, chomping at couldn't it. 644 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 9: It could have been a football game the BBC, it 645 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 9: was the mo It's just the difference the way they 646 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 9: covered what I did find. You know, they took a 647 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 9: snapshot of those flights when they started closing theirport six thousand, 648 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 9: just that that moment. 649 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: A lot of people in the air, well not in 650 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: the air, a lot of planes, a lot of people 651 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 2: and a lot of chaos. 652 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 9: And you know, if you're by the Middle East, at 653 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 9: the moment on holiday. You're not going anywhere. 654 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 2: Fast, all right. Well, glad we got to the bottom 655 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 2: of your leak. 656 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: That and more. 657 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 2: It's not a leak. I didn't say it was a leak, 658 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: you know. It's just a leak at Jason, Yeah, Prime 659 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 2: Minister with us too, all right, have a great Monday 660 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: run tomorrow. 661 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,479 Speaker 1: For more from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge, listen live 662 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: to News Talks it'd be from five am weekdays, or 663 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
