Also, the King's guards bear skin caps. You 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 3: would have seen them if you've been to the UK. 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 3: Guess how much they cost. Kevin Gray out of the UK. 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 3: Plus what has been heating your heat pump this winter? 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 3: All ahead. 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: The agenda. 16 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 3: It is Friday, the first, thenth of September. Harvey Weinstein 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: has been indicted on new charges. These are sex crime 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: charges in New York this time, but exact details not 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: revealed until he is formally charged. Weinstein was in court 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: today after being transferred from prison to hospital for heart surgery. 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: Earlier this week, the big bowing backlog affecting all of 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 3: our air travel. Around thirty thousand Boeing workers have started 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: voting on a new contract. Possible strike action could happen 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: as soon as tomorrow. Currently, the proposal, as we said 25 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 3: the other day, a twenty five percent wage increase, though 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: union's not happy. If they can pay a CEO thirty 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 3: three million a year, is that the best they can 28 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: really do. 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: We're still prioritizing what we have to do. 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: We're still in within compliance. We're just making a lot 31 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: more noise. A small group of lawyers and activists are 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: demanding an investigation into whether our spies are guilty of 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: aiding international war crimes in Gaza. Do they have evidence? No, 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: a smoking gun. 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 4: No. 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: The letter just says that because we're a member of 37 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: the Five Eyes, it is plausible to suggest that we 38 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: might have done something. I would have thought you'd need 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: more than a hunch to investigate something like that. What 40 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: an awesome display yesterday of Kiewei's and kindness. I know 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: we hate that word, but it was when the Black 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: Ferns met King Charles and gave the old boy a 43 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 3: big hug. 44 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 4: Hug? Why not? 45 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: What excellent ambassadors for New Zealand, respectful, humble. Always good 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 3: to ask a monarch first before you go in for 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: a hug. I would have thought get ahead of the headlines. 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge you for twenty twenty four on early edition 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a planet store. 50 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: News Talk said, be. 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: Also bad news for Zelensky overnight, good news for Putin 52 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: the Russian troops that have been fighting to try and 53 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 3: recapture parts of the Curse region. Obviously, Zolensky and his 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: crew went in there. They have managed to recapture several 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 3: key villages in the Curse regions. This is a significant 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: blow to Zelensky and his plans to you know, to 57 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: try and force Russia's hand by going into the territory. 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: The Kremlin has launched a counter and it seems to be, 59 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: at least at this stage, it seems to be having 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: some success. It has just gone nine minutes after five 61 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: year on news Talk said be, I would love to 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: hear from you this morning on this story. Nine two 63 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 3: nine two is the number to text. We're going to 64 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: paint the Auckland Harbor Bridge. It's going to take eight 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: to ten years now. Leo, who's our producer here, has 66 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: been building a fence for what seems like for as 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: long as I've been on this show. So that's like 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: two months and Leo has been building and his whole family, 69 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: but the sounds of it have been building this fence 70 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: for two months, and I just think, you know, is 71 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: it a border wall? 72 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: You know? 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: Is it the Great Wall of China that you're building? 74 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: Leo? 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: Anyway seems to be taking forever, and this paint job 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: on the Alton Harbor Bridge is going to take eight 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: to ten years. Is there anything wrong with the current 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: paint job? 79 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 5: You know? 80 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: I would love to know if anyone has any insight 81 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: on this. Are they doing it to try and seal 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: the bridge from you know, weather from etc. Or is 83 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: it just a cosmetic thing, Because if it's a cosmetic thing, 84 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: just leave it. It's a bridge. I don't expect it 85 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: to look that pretty. I've never looked at that bridge 86 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: and thought that needs a paint job. You know, plenty 87 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: of things around my house I look at it and 88 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: think that needs a paint job, but not the Auckland 89 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: Harbor Bridge. So if you have any insight, nineteen nine 90 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: two is a number of text. But also I'm really 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: keen to hear from you, because Friday morning, I'm really 92 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: keen to hear what job have you started? In your 93 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: house and how long has it taken you? Is any 94 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: can anyone set a record for us this morning? Nine 95 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: two nine two is the number of text It's going 96 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 3: to cost a lot of money. I can't tell you 97 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: exactly how much. At this point they expect the traffic 98 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: will be business as usual in Nelson. In Nelson they 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: have made a new rule about sandwich boards. So I know, 100 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: I don't really have a strong opinion on sandwich boards. 101 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: You may, I don't really mind. They don't look to 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: me like pollution. A lot of people say, oh, it's 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: just gross to have all of these advertisements out on 104 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: the path, not really caring about that. People who are 105 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: blind or low vision obviously trip over them. And I'm 106 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: not blind, so I don't have that problem. So I imagine 107 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: for some people they are very annoying, but not for 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: me anyway. And Nelson they have banned them from putting them, 109 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 3: from putting them near the road on the footpath, so 110 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 3: you have to have a clear way for people who 111 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: are blind to walk through, which seems reasonable. They have 112 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 3: banned any flags except for the local council, who are 113 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: allowed to fly their flags on the pavement, just not 114 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: anybody else. Typical I know twelve minutes after five. 115 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with 116 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture Beds and 117 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: a Plying Store. 118 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: News Talk z B fourteen after five. Welcome to your 119 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: Friday morning. Great to have your company. Lots of texts 120 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: coming in on the Auckland Harbor Bridge, which they're going 121 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: to paint and will take eight to ten years to 122 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 3: finish the job. Ryan, The Harbor Bridge painting is preventative maintenance. 123 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: Large steel structures need frequent recoating to prevent corrosion, which 124 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: if found would be a whole lot more expensive to fix. 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: So that makes sense. Ryan. Apparently this is from Cody. 126 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: It only took them four years to build the Golden 127 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 3: gate Bridge. Is that true? Leo says it's true. So 128 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: four years to build the Golden gate Bridge and eight 129 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 3: to ten years to paint house. Ryan Bridge, she's gone 130 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: fourteen after five. We've got some more to add to 131 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: the country's energy crisis. New data from MB shows between 132 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 3: April and June this year, extra coal and gas was 133 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: needed to generate enough power. Not surprising, I suppose given 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: recent coverage low hydro late levels meant that electricity generated 135 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: from renewable sources drops to eighty one point three percent 136 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: of total generation. That's eight point six percent lower compared 137 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: at the same time last year, and for the first 138 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: time since June twenty twenty one, coal generated more electricity 139 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 3: than wind. Senior research fellow at the University of Otago, 140 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: doctor Kimberly Osullivan's with me this morning. Good morning, Thanks 141 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: for being with me. What's I suppose this is just 142 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: part of the course, right when we don't have enough 143 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: in the lakes, we have to go somewhere, We have 144 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: to go somewhere. 145 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 5: Ryan, You're right, but I really think that it's time 146 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 5: to stop looking underground to the solution to our problems. 147 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 5: It's gotten cheaper and cheaper for us to put solar 148 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 5: on houses, and that's what we really need to start 149 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 5: doing urgently if we want to solve this problem. 150 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: So every house should have a solar panel. 151 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: Well, I think we should start with those that can 152 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 5: least afford electricity and help them out, because we know 153 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 5: that when people can't afford enough electricity at home, they're 154 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 5: really doing it tough and we end up spending more 155 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 5: and more money on treating them in hospital when they 156 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 5: don't need to be there. 157 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: So subsidizing solar panels for lower income households is what 158 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: you're saying, isn't absolutely will we Okay, let's assume that 159 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: all of our low income households have a solar panel 160 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: on them. We will still have we will still have 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: parts of the winter where we won't have enough to 162 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: cover ourselves. Right, that's the problem. 163 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 5: We'll still be a bit short. But if we start 164 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 5: doing things like that, as well as continuing to insulate 165 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 5: our home so that we need to use less energy 166 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 5: than what we currently do in order to stay warm 167 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 5: and healthy at home, then that would go a long 168 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 5: way to solving our problem. The other thing about coal 169 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 5: and gas, fossil fuel, it's expensive now, but it's expensive 170 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 5: in the future too. It's not a climate safe solution, 171 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 5: and we're seeing more in my extreme weather events from 172 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: climate change. That's only going to continue if we keep 173 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 5: burning fossil fuels. 174 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: So you're saying we need to reduce consumption as in 175 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: what freeze and you know, sit in the cold. 176 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: No, absolutely not. What we need to do is they're 177 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 5: smarter about that. We can build housing, and we can 178 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: spect our houses so that they don't need to use 179 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 5: as much energy to keep us warm at home. At 180 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 5: the moment. What we're seeing when we measure temperatures inside 181 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 5: our homes is that they track really closely to their 182 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 5: outdoal temperatures. So in the winter, we really need to 183 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 5: use a lot of energy to keep our houses warmer, 184 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 5: and it doesn't need to be that way. We could 185 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 5: make our houses warmer by increasing the insulation, by retrefiting 186 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 5: insulation on existing homes, by increasing the technology that we 187 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 5: use to make new homes more efficient, and then we 188 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: could put solar on top. We could solve a lot 189 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 5: of problems that way. 190 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, however, that all sounds great, but we've had subsidies 191 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: to do this before. Not all houses have been done. 192 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: I mean, look at this. The government, the state is 193 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 3: the worst actually at this in terms of insulating the 194 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: state houses. But what you're suggesting will take time, will 195 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 3: take significant investment. In the meantime, we have to use 196 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: gas and coal, don't we, And surely gas is better 197 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: than coal. 198 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: I think gas is slightly better than coal, but not 199 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 5: a lot. It's also expensive. It also takes time, and 200 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 5: if we're going to keep looking underground for new gas, 201 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 5: that's going to take a really long time. We've got 202 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 5: solutions that are right here. If we ramped up what 203 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 5: we know that we can do now and did a 204 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 5: better job, going harder with the insulation and putting even 205 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 5: more into our home so that we need to use 206 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 5: less energy, then that would go a really long way 207 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 5: to helping to solve this problem. If we put solar on, 208 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 5: then we're going to go even further. And there are 209 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 5: contents already in place for the big gent tailors to 210 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 5: be building so they could get going with this problem 211 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 5: as well and start to make better renewable solutions for us. 212 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: All Right, Doctor Kimberly O. Saloman, thank you very much 213 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: for your time this morning. Senior search fellow at the 214 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 3: University of Otago says the prob the solution rather to 215 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: our energy wose is to solar panel on the roof, 216 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: insulation in the walls. And Bob's your uncle nine to 217 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: ninety two to text. 218 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day is 219 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: Billy Addition with Ryan Ridge and Smith City, New Zealand's 220 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: furniture Beds and a flying Store. 221 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: You talk, Sibby. 222 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: Lots of texts coming in on our previous guest and 223 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: solar energy the solution to all of our woes. We'll 224 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: get to those in just a second right now. Though 225 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: Polaris Dawn mission successful, a dar Devil billionaire turned astronaut 226 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 3: has floated his way into the history books overnight conducting 227 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: the world's first privately funded spacewalk. Jared Isaacman, along with 228 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 3: SpaceX's Sarah Gillis, launched into space about a week ago 229 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: on the Falcon nine rocket, and last night they conducted 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: a two hour walk outside their capsule. 231 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 5: Back at home, we all have. 232 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 3: A lot of work to year, but from here first 233 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: sure looks. 234 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 6: Like a perfect world. 235 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 3: Chris Jackson is the University of Auckland head of space Operations. Chris, 236 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: good morning, Good morning Ryan. How significant is this a 237 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 3: privately funded spacewalk? 238 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, there's been quite a lot of i'll say 239 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 7: advances in private space space tourism over the past five 240 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 7: or ten years, I guess so, and each mission has 241 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 7: been progressing. So getting outside the capsule is actually quite 242 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 7: a big achievement. You know, there's quite a lot of 243 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 7: danger involved with it, and yeah, technically I think it's 244 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 7: quite a big achievement, and you know, it progresses things 245 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 7: for SpaceX and for humanity space I guess quite a 246 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 7: long way in that SpaceX want to go to Mars, 247 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 7: and space suits and the space walk type you know, 248 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 7: is all part of it. 249 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the space suit that they're wearing a lot of 250 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: talk about that slim down it's almost like a wetsuit. 251 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 3: It's that title their body nowhere near as bulky is 252 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: the NASA ones we're used to seeing, right. 253 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, And I mean the space suit's quite you know, 254 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 7: quite critical. We obviously think about the I say that 255 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 7: the breathing environment that it obviously provides, but the thermal 256 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 7: environment in space is quite extreme and regulating temperature that 257 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 7: has no air around the outside of the suit is 258 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 7: quite critical. So testing that out is you know, quite 259 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 7: a significant step forward. And making it easier for astronauts 260 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 7: to do work outside of capsules with a smaller suit 261 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 7: is something they want about to do, to do different things, 262 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 7: to say on the Moon, mining and things like that 263 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 7: that they want about to get to. 264 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: He won't say how much he's spent to get up there. 265 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: Do you have any idea of what it would cost 266 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: to do something like this? 267 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I don't know, And I mean he's put 268 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 7: together quite a program, so you know he's going to 269 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 7: be spending a lot of money. But yeah, it certainly 270 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 7: you know, tens of hundreds of millions of dollars I 271 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 7: would expect, I mean a satellite launch just a Falcon 272 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 7: nine launches, you know, in the order of well, let's 273 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 7: say some around about one hundred million new zelland dollars, 274 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 7: so and a manned launches is a lot. 275 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: More than that. Just finally, there are currently nineteen people 276 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: in space, which is apparently a record number. How many 277 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 3: is the crowd? Do you reckon up there? 278 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: Well? 279 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 7: I think it's only going to start to increase. You 280 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 7: know that there's a lot more stuff that people want 281 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 7: to do in space. As I say, you know, NASA 282 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 7: going to the Moon, and it was soon in a 283 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 7: year or two time that that program's drifting a little bit, 284 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 7: but you know they want to populate the Moon and 285 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 7: obviously use that as a stepping stone for getting to Mars. 286 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 7: So yeah, this is only going to be the start 287 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 7: of you know, a lot more people in space and 288 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 7: a lot more different places in space as well. 289 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: Fascinating stuff. Chris, thank you very much for that. Chris Jackson, 290 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 3: University of Auckland head of Space Operations twenty four after 291 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: five Ryan Bridge. Interestingly, it was a Soviet Alexei Leonov 292 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: back in nineteen sixty five, on the eighteenth of March, 293 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 3: the first person ever to walk in space, way back 294 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty five. Isn't it incredible what they could 295 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 3: do back then? He was a Soviet, so of course 296 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: that wouldn't have gone down well in America. He spent 297 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: twelve minutes up there, and get this, as we go 298 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 3: to the break, his suit inflated while he was outside 299 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: of the craft. His suit inflated in the vacuum of space, 300 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: and he couldn't fit back in the door. You know 301 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: when you sometimes you eat so much you can't get 302 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: you can't get back in the doorway. That happened to 303 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: him in space. He had to manually release the year 304 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 3: from his spacesuit. 305 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: The early edition Full The Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 306 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: by News Talks at Me. 307 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: Karmala Harris was wearing audio earrings during the debate this week. 308 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: Did you hear about this? Yeah, she was cheating. They 309 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: looked like pearl earrings, but they also looked like audio earrings. 310 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: You can buy them and you can have your staff 311 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: feed you information and in real time during a debate, 312 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: they can coach you live. Yeah, it's real. I read 313 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: it on the Internet. And that's the problem, isn't it. 314 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 3: Some corners of the Internet there are you know, there's 315 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: the dog duck immigrant conspiracy thing, there's the transmigrant prisoner 316 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: sexchange thing, and now there's the Carmela Earrings Aids thing. Misinformation, disinformation, conspiracies, 317 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: whatever they are, they seem to be everywhere at the moment. 318 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 3: KRMLA Harris is pushing the conspiracies too. You remember she 319 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: said during the debate that Trump would implement Project twenty 320 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: twenty five if elected. He says he won't. Isn't that 321 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: the same thing? Just lies, just making stuff up? Don't 322 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: get me wrong. I do love a good conspiracy, specially 323 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: the bizarre ones you get out of the States, but 324 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: I would never go nuts online trying to prove one. 325 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: The Internet's screwed our brains in that way. What would 326 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 3: have once just been a word of mouth, rumor or 327 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: gossip now spreads and presents itself as real news and 328 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 3: has lapped up by millions of people. The biggest problem, 329 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: I reckon we have two cohorts of Internet users ones 330 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: who lived before the most of their lives without the Internet, 331 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: and they place a lot of faith and trust in 332 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: what's being written and said, because that's how we used 333 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: to operate, remember, And then there are those who are 334 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: URL natives who know full well the absolute crap and 335 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 3: the shite that you get online. Which is not to 336 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: say it's a generational thing, because people at both things 337 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: can get caught out. But we are supposedly living right 338 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 3: now in the enlightened age where the Internet would democratize 339 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: information make it accessible to all of us.

How much do they cost? 509 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 11: Well, they are two thousand pounds each. 510 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: They are made from real bear. 511 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 11: Fur, and in the past decade it's been revealed that 512 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 11: they cost about a million pounds and so there is 513 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 11: an argument now coming from Peter of course, the animal 514 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 11: rights group that they are against the fur and principle 515 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 11: because of animal cruelty. There's also saying a lot of 516 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 11: people saying that these are hugely expensive. 517 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: They are, of course though iconic. 518 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 11: If you've ever been to Bucking Palace and seen the 519 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 11: King's Guards marching performing, they are quite startling these hats. 520 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 11: But the military is saying that they've tried looking at alternatives, 521 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 11: non fur versions, but they didn't meet the same safety 522 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 11: and durability considerations. I'm not quite sure about that. These 523 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 11: are decorative items. These aren't things that they wear into battle. 524 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 11: It's not like they need to be tested for sort 525 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 11: of all kinds of real conditions, although of course they 526 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 11: have to be pretty warterproof here in London. But we'll 527 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 11: see whether or not they get those changed. 528 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and warm, I would think too. Thanks so much 529 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 3: for that, Vincent mcavini are UK correspondent r and Bridge 530 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: Rich get our first glimpse of how the health sector 531 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: is performing and meeting the government's targets by Christmas. The 532 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: Health Minister, Doctor Shane at Etti, released more detail on 533 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: them yesterday. 534 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 7: These are ambitious targets and what I've said before is 535 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 7: that a number of these targets were hard for the 536 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 7: previous government. 537 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 2: You know they're going to be hard for me too. 538 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 3: So currently Health New Zealand will have to find the 539 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: funding within baselines to do this, and there are some groups, 540 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 3: specialist groups who disagree. I think that that's wrong. Katie 541 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: Nookho is with us US in New Zeala Nurses Organization 542 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: President Kerrie good morning, good morning, Thanks for being with us. 543 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 3: What is your issue with these targets and the way 544 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: they're going about doing them. 545 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 4: Well, it seems to be that it's fine to have 546 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 4: ambitious plans, but if you don't have the people and 547 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: the resources to implement it, then any good plan will fail. 548 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 4: And this is what it seems to be that we're 549 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 4: seeing here. 550 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 3: Do how when you say we don't have the resources, 551 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: you're talking about. 552 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 7: Nurses, the whole workforce. 553 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 4: It's not just nurses that have said that we're understaffed 554 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 4: and the health system is chronically underfunded. It is doctors, 555 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: it is visios, that is the rest of the health workforce. 556 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: Is it not good to have a target just to have, 557 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: you know, as you say, have something to aspire to? 558 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 4: And look, I think we agree with what the minister said. 559 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 4: He said that every dollar spent on health is precious. 560 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 4: But the government health target measures process, not outcomes, and 561 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 4: they're centered mainly around waiting this and access and flow 562 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 4: through the system. But if we fail to look at 563 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 4: the reasons for the blockages and the chokash points and 564 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 4: the delays within the systems now, which is workforce and resourcing, 565 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 4: then we're going to fail to execute any ambitious targets. 566 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 4: And that is the problem here. We've had a system 567 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: that's being chronically underfunded for years and chronically understaffed. 568 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: Our nursing vacancy though is down from twelve to fifteen 569 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: percent to six percent. 570 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 4: That is what the government is saying. That is not 571 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 4: the reality of what nurses are feeling on the work 572 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 4: front and the patients engagements, the higher work rates. That 573 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 4: is not the picture that our nurses in reality that 574 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 4: are going to work every day face. 575 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 3: But surely that stats don't lie, do they. 576 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 4: Well, Nor do our nurses that are on the front 577 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 4: line and seeing these really high turnover of patient Have. 578 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 3: We ever had a safe level of nurses in New Zealand? 579 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 4: No, And that's part of the problem, right, We've never 580 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: had like internationally they're introducing what's called nurse to patient ratios. 581 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 4: We've never had that type of approach which will set 582 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 4: a standard around how many nurses per patients in the 583 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 4: work place do we need. That's the push, that's the 584 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 4: direction that our organization is saying for the government, let's 585 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 4: start to look at implementation around safe nurse to patient 586 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 4: ratio standards. 587 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: All right, Kerrie, thank you very much for your time 588 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 3: this morning. Really appreciate. That's Kerrie Niku, the Nurses Organization, 589 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 3: a president with US. Just gone nine minutes away from six. 590 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge, take. 591 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: Lots more to come here on News Talk CB Mike 592 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 3: Hoskins in the studio next. Very quickly. You would have 593 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 3: seen food prices yesterday increasing point four percent annually and 594 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: people are celebrating like that's a good thing. They're still 595 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: going up, aren't they. You know your food is still 596 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: going up. It's not negative. It's not deflation. It's disinflation 597 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 3: where the rate of increase slows. But here's the thing. 598 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 3: If you haven't had a pay increase, then you are 599 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: still struggling to pay for your food and your grocery, 600 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: struggling to put food in your mouth, don't you. They 601 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: say what goes up must come down, but that's clearly 602 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: a lie. 603 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: Hell the first word on the News of the Day 604 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: early edition with Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's 605 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: Furniture Beds and a play a Store News Talks. 606 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 3: They'd be six to six news talks. It'd be great 607 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: to have your company. New research published this morning. This 608 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: is in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health. 609 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: It says Basically, if your teenager starts vaping, they are 610 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: five times more likely to then try smoking, and it 611 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 3: gets worse. The younger you are, the worse your odds. 612 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 3: So twelve year olds who had vaped were twenty nine 613 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: times more likely to go and try smoking than twelve 614 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 3: year olds who hadn't vaped. Jeez, with stats like that, 615 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 3: you might as well start straight on the durries like 616 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 3: the good old days. You don't when you go behind 617 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 3: the bike sheds and Grandma tells you everyone us to 618 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 3: gun smoke. Anyway, probably not a good idea of five 619 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 3: to six, Ryan Bridge, Mike's here, Good morning, Mike Morning. 620 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 12: Philippa did that work and she's on the program after 621 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 12: seven o'clock. Brilliant, So we'll do something about that. 622 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 3: It stands to reason, isn't it. I mean, if you're 623 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 3: if you're younger, you're more impressionable. 624 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 12: But they still they still argue it's a cessation tool. 625 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 12: I'm not convinced that it's anyway. Quick question for you, Yeah, 626 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 12: what would it need to cost for a spacewalk. 627 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 3: Before you before I do it? Well, I mean that 628 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 3: is it a cost thing or not? Really? Well, as 629 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 3: you know, I don't have carpet in my non existent garage. 630 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 12: So let's say things have improved and you've got some carpet, 631 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 12: and you've done and you've done the Rehino's and you 632 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 12: find yourself in a position where the key we save 633 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 12: has done well and you're a little bit of extra. 634 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: Kay. How much would I pay to get up there? 635 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: Would you go? 636 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 8: At all? 637 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah?

It was an incredible experience. I went down 654 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 3: there with John Kee when I was you know, following 655 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 3: am around in the press pack.
