Yesterday? She detailed the alleged abuse. 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: We have a very difficult task of trying to discredit her, 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 5: but also not riling her up too much to get 44 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 5: her visibly more upset, and that would lend itself to 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 5: her being more sympathetic to the jury. 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 6: So it's a top. 47 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: It's the topause the UK and talks with other countries 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: about sending the failed asylum seekers abroad. 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 7: We are in talks with a number of countries about 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 7: return hubs and I see them as a really important innovation. 51 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: He's saying that standing to the Albanian President, who then says, 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: we're not going to be a return hub. No, thank 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: you don't want your failed asylum seekers.

Eight minutes now, 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 2: nine minutes after five. 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: The News you Need this morning and the in depth 57 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Make 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple News Talks. 59 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: It'd be is Friday. If anyone's an Auckland f C fan, 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: you are going to have to pay probably double the 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: ticket price. But we'll talk to the CEO of the 62 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: team just before just about five twenty this morning, that's 63 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: Nick Becker about why they have to double their ticket prices. 64 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: If the I mean to be fair, you would expect 65 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: to pay more for a semi final game than you 66 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: would a regular season, wouldn't you. But there's a good 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: reason why they're charging more. We'll tell you about that 68 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: at five twenty. Now, before you roll your eyes when 69 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: I say ordering a tamadiki and criticized. And another report, 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: This one's actually quite interesting. This is John Ryan, the 71 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: Orders General. He did a report. Remember when the government 72 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: told everybody last year to find savings, you know, go 73 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: and get us six and a half percent from behind 74 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: the couch. Well, ordering a tamidiki did that. But according 75 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: to Ryan, they basically went too far, too fast, didn't 76 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: give the providers enough of a heads up, so the 77 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: process was flawed. That's the problem. The process was flawed, which, 78 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: let's face it, this is ot we're talking about. Au surprised, no, 79 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: But the actual theory behind it, I think was the 80 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: right one. To make savings to invest in other arguably 81 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: better services. They decided to fully recover unspent costs from 82 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: contract providers. So up until this change, any provider comes 83 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: in and says, ah, do XYZ for you five million 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: bucks a year. Okay, great, go away and do that. 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: If they only spent four million, they kept the rest 86 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: of the money. They kept the other million. Anyway, even 87 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: if they didn't meet their targets, they kept the money. 88 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: And what business or even on what planet would that 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: be a sustainable or a responsible way to operate? So 90 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: fair cop to them from Ryan, they moved too quickly 91 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: with this. The providers basically got a big surprise. They 92 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 2: weren't financially prepared for the shortfall. That is fair, But 93 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: the idea was I think the right one. I mean, 94 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: how long can you go on throwing money, our money 95 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: at problems with little or no result before someone takes 96 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: the credit card and chops it up with a pair 97 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: of scissors. It might have happened too quickly, but it 98 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: was a long time coming in my mind. Ryan Bridge 99 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: given after five on news Talk sad B. So we're 100 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: going to talk to Jimmy Rushton next. He's in Kiev. 101 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 2: He's a security analyst there. I mean, is this all 102 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: just talk? Do we stop paying attention to what's going 103 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: on in estand Bull now because the big dogs, the 104 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: big players aren't in town, or are we actually expecting 105 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: that slowly, inch by inch we are creeping closer to 106 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 2: some sort of deal with Russia and Ukraine. That's next. 107 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan 108 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof make your Property Search Simple News 109 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: Talk z'd B. 110 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: Good morning. It's five point thirteen. We've had retail sales 111 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: data out of the United States which is starting to show, 112 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: just a little bit by bit, starting to show the 113 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: impact of those tariffs on the US consumer. This is 114 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: you're spending on shops and restaurants and stuff like that. 115 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: So retail sales rose zero point one percent in April 116 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: from a month earlier. Sales that electronic and appliance stores 117 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: were up point three percent, gaining one point five percent 118 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: in the previous month. Sales of cars fell to zero 119 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: point one percent, this after they rose five point five 120 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: percent in March, and that was people front loading. I 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: better get my car now before the tariffs come. So 122 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: you are starting to see a bit of that trickle 123 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: to the numbers, but it's going to take they reckon 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: another few months before you see the full effects. Fourteen 125 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: after five now, so surprise, surprise, person didn't turn up 126 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: for peace talks in Ukraine. Kremlin confirming Russia's delegation is 127 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: instead being led by Presidential aid of Vladimir Medinsky. Zelensky 128 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: is also pulled out sending his Defense minister Russia. 129 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,119 Speaker 3: Allfored in the media that Puttin is ready for Iraq negotiations, 130 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: and then are there information rules that it's not decided yet, 131 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: So it's it's just stocks. 132 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, what does that mean? Jimmy Rushton is and 133 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: Kiev's a foreign policy and securely security analyst with me 134 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: this morning. Jimmy, good morning, Welcome to the show. 135 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 8: Hi, good morning. 136 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: What does what does he mean Zelensky? By now they're 137 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: just talks? 138 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 8: Actually, what Putin had said in this rather hasty press 139 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 8: conpence that he arranged about a week ago was that 140 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 8: he challenged Zelensky to come to Turkey and have a 141 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 8: conversation face to face. As Zelensky took him up on 142 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 8: the offer, he turned up in Turkey, but obviously Putin 143 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 8: has not, and he sent Medinsky, who is a very 144 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 8: low level official really in the Kremlin. He's also the 145 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,119 Speaker 8: same Russian official that led the peace talks in early 146 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 8: twenty twenty two, and to be honest, peace talks is 147 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 8: a generous term because at that point Midinsky was essentially 148 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 8: saying that the Ukrainians should unconditionally surrender. So it's really 149 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 8: seen by the Ukrainian side as a slap in the 150 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 8: face and a sign that Russia continues their maximalist goals 151 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 8: of subjugating Ukraine and making it into a Russian puppet state. 152 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: Is there anyone No one's preparing, even in the background, 153 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: behind the scenes, for there to be some kind of 154 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: serious ceasefire or peace agreement. I mean, Russia's still building 155 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: new explosives facilities to build more drug build more bombs. 156 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 9: Yeah. 157 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean it's clear that the Russians are planning 158 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 8: for this war to continue for some time. And it's 159 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 8: pretty clear if you look at some of their recent 160 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 8: build ups is that they're you know, they're building up 161 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 8: forces along the Finnish border, and they're building up forces 162 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 8: along the Estonian board and some of the other Baltic 163 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 8: states as well. So it's pretty clear that they're not 164 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 8: ready for any sort of sustainable peace with Europe. They're 165 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 8: alone Ukraine. 166 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: Jimmy, what do Ukrainians think of Donald Trump's you know, 167 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: he's come out today over night and said nothing will 168 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: happen until I'm in the room with Persian. What did 169 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: Ukrainians think when he's stuff like that. 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 8: Well, initially, Ukrainians had a relatively favorable or at least 171 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 8: a more generous opinion of Trump. Around forty percent of 172 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 8: Ukrainians back in November of last year we're willing to 173 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 8: give him a chance, and that's dropped around seven percent 174 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 8: of Ukrainians having any form of positive opinion of him now. 175 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 8: I mean, he's largely viewed as as someone who's definitely 176 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 8: not favorable to Ukraine and probably more favorable to Putin 177 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 8: and of a strong man, you know, people like Kim 178 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 8: Jong mun President she of China, and he's he's not 179 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 8: recent as is kind of a friend of the Western 180 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 8: democracies at all. I think for Ukrainians they feel that 181 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 8: they need to manage him as best they can. Kind 182 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 8: of placated as ego. That was one of the reasons 183 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 8: why they signed this mineral steal, to give him something 184 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 8: that he could boast about. But yeah, I think they're 185 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 8: really taking it day to day, trying to keep him 186 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 8: on side as best they can. But they're aware that he's, 187 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 8: you know, incredibly temperamental and he can change his opinion 188 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 8: pretty much on the spot. 189 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: He's a hard dog to keep on the porch.

And you know, if 225 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 10: we get at least a draw or preferably a win, 226 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 10: we'll be in a good position for the following week when. 227 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 6: We're at home. 228 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: How do you get a group of people to come 229 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 2: together and perform like this in such a short space 230 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 2: of time. 231 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 10: I think this comes very much from our ownership group, 232 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 10: you know, sort of right at the start, we sat 233 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 10: down myself, trim at Form, the football director, and Steve 234 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 10: Corok and the coach and talked about, you know, the 235 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 10: type of players that we wanted to time for what 236 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 10: we wanted to play, but Bill was really clear with us, 237 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 10: and he sort of said, you know, like obviously get 238 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 10: the right technically the right players, and make sure that 239 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 10: they are good humans. I think that's a really good 240 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 10: point to how we've managed to build up a good 241 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 10: culture in the dressing room. We've we've managed to get 242 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 10: players who they go out and play for each other 243 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 10: rather than there's no real sort of individuals. There's no 244 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 10: egos in the dressing room. So there's this really great 245 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 10: team spirit and it just comes out of the fact 246 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 10: that they're all good humans, right, And we've been We've 247 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 10: been really lucky in that sense. And I think, you know, 248 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 10: we intentionally went out to get good people and we've 249 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 10: been really lucky and getting a bunch of Greig guys. 250 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 2: Some people, and I want to emphasize some, but some 251 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: on social media have been complaining in the past week 252 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: about the ticket prices. This is for the second League, 253 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: obviously at go Media Stadium at double twenty seven dollars 254 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: fifty to forty five dollars upward. I'm assuming the league 255 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: is taking a cut here are they? 256 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 6: They're taking one hundred percent cut? 257 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: Right? 258 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 6: So yeah, So how the A League works. 259 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 10: Is once you get to the final stage, and this 260 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 10: is an ideal for us. The league actually take control 261 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 10: of the game so they they can control of the 262 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 10: ticket price. I mean, they did consult with us, and 263 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 10: their position was that they wanted to keep it. Our 264 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 10: requests to keep it at go Media. They supported us 265 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 10: on this and they and I think they set their 266 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 10: ticket prices posted accordingly. We didn't have any real input 267 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 10: into into what they could charge of than sort of saying, look, 268 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 10: you know, don't go crazy with it. I appreciate it 269 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 10: from a fans point of view, they are more expensive 270 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 10: than your regular season. I guess the league's position on 271 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 10: it is it's a big game, it's a semi final, 272 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 10: it's a knockout match, and you know they I guess 273 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 10: they believe in and they're rightly so that the tickets 274 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 10: have been flying off the shower. So we've already sold 275 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 10: well over twenty thousands, and I imagine that the whole 276 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 10: stadium will be sold out by probably the end of 277 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 10: this weekend. So I guess they got that bit right. 278 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 10: But yeah, I hear and I can sive both sides 279 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 10: of the stories. 280 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can, having seen some of those fans up 281 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: close and personal.

They're on their way to Glauria. 290 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 2: Surely it has just gone twenty four minutes after five 291 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: your on News Talks heb So the America's Cup.

Athens missed out. Georgia 306 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: Maloney very excited, Luna Rossa obviously pumped. But the question 307 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: for you this morning, do you wake up feeling jealous? 308 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: Is there a pit of disappointment in your stomach? Do 309 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: we lambassed our measly stingy government for not prioritizing a 310 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: sailing race. My feelings, well, it's nice that they have 311 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: somewhere to sail, and good luck to them, but I 312 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: feel zero fomo. We were on the hook for tens 313 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: of millions of dollars Waigino hasn't got his bed tax yet. 314 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: Politically it was the right call too. Imagine with this 315 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: announcement coming a week out from budget day, Imagine the 316 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: outcry from the unions and the opposition and the media. 317 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: You're spending how much money on men sailing around the 318 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: harbor while cutting women's pay. Can you just imagine that? 319 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 2: Plus when we debated all of this a few months back. 320 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: We didn't know at that point that Dalton was quietly 321 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: walking away from contract negotiations with Peter Burling, So we 322 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: would have spent millions on a race for a boat 323 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: with an Aussie at the helm, not our beloved Burling. 324 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: Not that that matters. That is fine, We've had one 325 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: before in glen Ashby, but there's no The preference was 326 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: for Burling to continue. Grant Dalton told me that at 327 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: the time. But there's a bigger point here. When times 328 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: are tough, when the kitties running low, you can't afford 329 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: the nice to haves. For Team New Zealand, that was Burling. 330 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: For us, it was the competition itself. And if you're 331 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: worried that Dalton has regrets about Auckland failing to get 332 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: a look in, take a look at the press release 333 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: for today's announcement come out overnight.

So the UK is well, 490 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 2: economy growing by more than expected.

Yeah, that's right. 493 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: It's the next day for the prime so but definitely 494 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 4: some good news. The UK now has the fastest rate 495 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: of growth in the G seven group of developed economies. 496 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: That's ahead of the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, in Japan. 497 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: And that's because the figures for the first three months 498 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: of the year have been revised up from point six 499 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 4: to point seven percent growth. Now that might not sound 500 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 4: a lot, but it's better, as I said, than those 501 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 4: other countries are doing. But it's also a sign that 502 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 4: things are shifting here in the UK. The sort of 503 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: stagnation that we've seen after the pandemic years is somewhat 504 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 4: going away. We've got inflation falling, we've got interest rates 505 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 4: coming down as well. Now this figure is actually from 506 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 4: before the Trump tariffs came into effect, but already we 507 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 4: have a tariff deal with the US. It's still not 508 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 4: as good as you know, trading terms as we had 509 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: when these figures were calculated, but it's better than a 510 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: lot of the rest of the world. And we're also 511 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 4: seeing early signs that the UK is actually benefiting from 512 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 4: what's called product dumping, so a lot of stuff that 513 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: was on its way to the US which is now 514 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 4: being rediverted to Europe is coming in here, which means 515 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 4: prices are also falling slightly because there's more availability of 516 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 4: product coming from for instance, China. So some economic good 517 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 4: news for the government. But on that key issue of immigration, 518 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 4: the Prime Minister is in Albania. He's there, he says 519 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 4: he wants to do talks about sending failed asylum seekers 520 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 4: to other nations in what are called return hubs. Albania 521 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 4: says it's not interested in that, but most we think 522 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 4: of the gangs involved with people smuggling across Europe are 523 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 4: Albanian based, and he's managed to get a new deal 524 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 4: with Albania in terms of sort of prosecuting and intelligent 525 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: sharing to try and crack down on this horrible trade. 526 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 2: Can you discive us so the failed asylum seekers people 527 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: to try to seek asylum in the Britain right now 528 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: that aren't being seen, you know, because there's no deals 529 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: going abroad at the moment. Where are they staying right now? 530 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: Where where are they well? 531 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 4: At the moment, the UK is spending millions every day 532 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 4: in fact housing asylum seekers in hotels up and down 533 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 4: the country. This was actually a legacy policy though inherited 534 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 4: from the Conservatives. They signed these long term agreements until 535 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 4: about twenty twenty nine people in hotels and it's had 536 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 4: a huge impact right across the country. A lot of 537 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 4: people in small towns and villages across the country angry 538 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 4: that their local hotel, which you know, used to host 539 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 4: functions or bring in tourists, is now being taken up 540 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 4: by people coming across some small boats from France, but 541 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 4: thens again anger. There's been more video in the last 542 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 4: few days of French authorities, despite the UK now paying 543 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 4: them tens of millions of pounds, not doing anything to 544 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 4: stop these boats launching from the north of France. So 545 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: it's a tricky situation. But the government still thinks if 546 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 4: it cracks down on the gangs themselves, that people doing 547 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 4: the trade, that they'll be able to stem the flow. 548 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting one, isn't it, Because you pay them. 549 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: You British textpayers are paying the French police to basically 550 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 2: do the border patrolling for them on the other side. 551 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: But then those very sign police officers, yeah, they're. 552 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 4: Basically standing there with cigarettes saying I feel sorry for you. 553 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. They have a national self interest in not leading. 554 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: Are stopping the boats letting them go across the the channel. 555 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 2: Thanks for your time this morning. That's Vincent macaviney a UK. 556 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: You're a correspondent just gone eleven away from six Bridge. 557 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: Social investments getting a boost. This is billinglish Is Baby 558 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: now carried by Nikola Willis pre budget announcement two hundred 559 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: and seventy five million dollars. One hundred and ninety of 560 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: that goes to the new Social Investment Fund. 561 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 12: It will invest in services that deliver measurable improvements in 562 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 12: the lives of those. 563 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 8: Who need our help, guided by data and evidence. 564 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 2: You contract directly to providers for you contracts the idea 565 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: you target problems earlier for better results long term. Belinda 566 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 2: hem Hemiwana is the social services provider out he at 567 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 2: our CEO with me this morning. Blinda, good morning, oh 568 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: good morning. Good to have you on the show. Can 569 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: you just tell us what is the main difference? Is 570 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: it the length of the contract here? What is the 571 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: main difference for you with how this will work? 572 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 6: Oh? 573 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, sure. So we're really heartened by this announcement and 574 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 9: I think definitely the the vision to have longer term contracting, 575 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 9: sustainable funding with community sector organizations to work together to 576 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 9: develop outcomes framework so we all know that we are 577 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 9: delivering the best for the kids INFARNO that are receiving services. 578 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 9: Just an example, I represent over two hundred and fifty 579 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 9: community based providers and they work over seventeen government departments. 580 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 9: So you can just imagine all of the separate contracting arrangements, 581 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 9: the different reporting. There's some inconsistency in how providers need 582 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 9: to report on results in timeframes. So we're really hoping 583 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 9: for some good administrative burden reductions. 584 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 2: One, so one provider might have to deal with seventeen 585 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: different government agencies. 586 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, or you know at least five to six. We 587 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 9: often have multiple year and many of. 588 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: You renewing every year, so you're having to go through 589 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 2: these proces, jump through these service So admin up the 590 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: I'm imagining for you with this new scheme. Do you 591 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: have have do they set KPIs you have to meet, yes, and. 592 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 9: I think most contracting relationships at the moment there are 593 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 9: performance indicators and volumes or expected outcomes or outputs. Well, 594 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 9: I think this really pushes it to the next level. 595 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: Though what how does it push it to the next level? 596 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: Because the problem with the word tamade thing and I 597 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: know we've had that report from the Order to General, 598 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: but the problem was that the providers were not meeting 599 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: KPIs but still getting all the money and even when 600 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 2: there was an underspend, we're keeping the underspend too. 601 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 9: Yes, So I think there's obviously the so I just 602 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 9: answered answer the first part of the question I think, 603 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 9: which is about how will this be different from the 604 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 9: kp and then we can move into some of those 605 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 9: observations from the Amadikey process. I think one of the 606 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 9: really valuable spect of social investments. You'll take it out 607 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 9: of one government agency, so we know kids in Faro 608 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 9: are complicated. You don't just have a health issue or 609 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 9: an education issue or a well being issue. Often these 610 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 9: are quite interconnected. And what I like about the model 611 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 9: is it will allow cross government results and indicators, so 612 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 9: you can really tackle those hard cases and not just 613 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 9: be in in one contract dealing with one aspect like 614 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 9: a health or an education and another dealing with the 615 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 9: counseling or the youth work. So it's a really nice, 616 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 9: elegant way to tackle these big issues. So we really, 617 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 9: you know, we think it will work. We want to 618 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 9: see it on the ground obviously, and we would have 619 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 9: liked to see more than one hundred and ninety million 620 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 9: because that's spread over four years. But the Minister has 621 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 9: talked about scaling it up. So this is a good chance. 622 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 9: Just to your point about do we know what's working 623 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 9: and are we funding it? This is a great chance 624 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 9: to put the results on the table into in partnership 625 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 9: with government to do things that are really impactful. 626 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: Which is exactly what we want to happen all of us. Belinda, 627 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: appreciate your time, keep up the good work. Belinda Hemi 628 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: one O with us this morning.
