1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: The issues is the interviews and the insight.

Speaker 3: It's a Wednesday. I'm Andrew Dickinson for Ryan Bridge and

00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 3: coming up over the next sixteen minutes. From a famine

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 3: of rental properties in the market, we now have a feast.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 3: So what changed and will we ever see rents going down?

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: We'll have that story for you in five. The astronauts

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: stranded in space are on their way home, so what

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: have they been through. We're going to talk to a

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 3: former astronauts in ten minutes time, and the Putin Trump

Speaker 3: Robert Patman and we'll do that just before six. We'll

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: have correspondence from right around the world and New Zealand

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: at news as it breaks, and you can have your

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: say by texting me. The number of ninety two ninety

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: two or small charge does apply. It is now eight

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: minutes after five.

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: The agenda.

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: It's Wednesday, the nineteenth March, and the fragile karm of

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: a gaza has come to an abrupt end. More than

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: four hundred people have been killed and six hundred injured

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: in the Gaza strip after Israel launch strikes against what

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: it calls terror target. It ends the seas file that's

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: been placed in mid January, but Israel is pointing the

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: finger at Hamas.

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Has reached a deadlock.

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: He said yes more than once concrete proposals made by

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 4: the American Special Envoy who extendacies fire.

32
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: Hamas said no, And the families of Israeli hostages are

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: fearing the worst.

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 5: I think it's disastrous because we have our kidnap people

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 5: sitting there and it kill only either there will be

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 5: heard directly or by Zahamas. It will not bring anything good.

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: And of course to the story that we're all waiting for.

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: In the entire world is waiting for details from Donald

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Trump's phone call with Vladimir Putin. It was understood that

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: the call was due to take place right now. Details

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: so far remains scarce, except for one fellaw who sees

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: it's going well. They're expected to talk a potential ceasefire

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: ideal in Ukraine. It appears nothing is off the table.

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 6: We don't know really what the parameters. The President Trump

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: says that the vast majority of core elements of this

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 6: agreement have been agreed, but we don't know what those are.

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: We don't know if that is true.

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 6: We don't know whether or not the Russians are prepared

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: to make any concessions.

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the government is putting ahead

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: of major welfare reforms. It includes narrowing the criteria for

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: the disability Benefit and changes to the job seeker Benefit.

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: It will save five million pounds by twenty thirty. Working Penson,

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Secretary was very passionate about the whole thing in the

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: House of Commons.

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 7: The status quote is unacceptable, but it is not inevitable.

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 7: We were elected on a mandate for change, to end

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: the sticky plaster approach. We believe in the valley and

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 7: potential of every single person that we all have something

60
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 7: positive to contribute and can make a difference.

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: By the way, that's five billion, not five million. I apologize.

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: And finally, the last surviving Battle of Britain pilot John

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: Paddy Henningway has died at the age of one hundred

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: and five. He joined the Royal Air Force as a

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: teenager before World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: Flying Cross. During the course of the war he was

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: shot down four times. And the amazing thing about that

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: golden generation is that Paddy just kept on going back.

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early Edition.

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: With Andrew Dickins and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple,

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: News Talk Sippy.

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: It's ten out to five. Good morning, good morning, and

73
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: thank you for joining me. Now, cops, I got to

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: stay on the beat. In the Auckland CBD, the government

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: will boost anti crime measures across Central Auckland with one

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: point three million dollars worth of funding as a result

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: of the Proceeds of Crime Fund. Now that Proceeds of

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: Crime Fund caven in two thousand and nine. It lets

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: the New Zealand Police seize money and assets that have

80
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: been obtained directly or indirectly from crimes and once all

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: the legal matters are addressed, the recover money is placed

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: in the Proceeds of Crime Fund to be spent. And

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: the whole thing was announced by the Auckland Minister Simmy

84
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: and Brown, Minister for Everything and Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee,

85
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: and it has been greeted wholeheartedly by retailers and residents.

86
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: It'll see the new Federal Streets station open twenty four

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: to seven. By the way, that station will open in

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: the middle of the year. And of course all of

89
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: this is a good thing. My question has always been

90
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: why did we stop doing this in the first place.

91
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: The cop on the beat is assigned to one in

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: all citizens and criminals, that the police are in control

93
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: of the streets, not the rat bags. For me, it's

94
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: the first thing the police should fund, not the last.

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: And that perception that it's not important is just reinforced

96
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: to me by the new funding coming from the Proceeds

97
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: of Crime fund and not the general budget. And another

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: question I have who thought that no cops on the

99
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: beat was a good idea in the first place. It's

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: tempting to blame Cuddle's Costa in the last government who

101
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: was soft on crime, but it's been going on far

102
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: longer than that. It's another example of public service being

103
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: told to cut budgets and then going and cutting the

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: good stuff instead of the bad. And one more thing

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: about the funding. This is not just a problem for Auckland.

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: It's nationwide. It's in all our cities and towns and

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: suburban shopping centers. What about them, Well, we're going to

108
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: wait to see if the budget which is forthcoming will

109
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: show a changed emphasis. It's twelve after five. We are

110
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: not the only country facing hard times. After the pandemic

111
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: caused an augy of government spending. Germany has had two

112
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: years of negative growth. So overnight a German spending package

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 3: was passed by the Bundestag. The proposed package includes spending

114
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: and debt brake reforms that needed a two thirds majority

115
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: they easily got. This is to give them a five

116
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 3: hundred billion euro fund for infrastructure and the ability to

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: borrow more. In fact, Germany's government is looking to borrow

118
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: and spend up to a trillion euro Obviously defense a

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: big part of it with all the Ukraine thing. Now

120
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: to get it over the line, the new chancellor Mets

121
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: agreed on a four hundred million euro fund to fight

122
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 3: climate change. So that's to appease the Greens. But at

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: a time when this country is embracing austerity and government restraint,

124
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 3: Germany is taking off the shackles, the world is still

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: borrowing and spending and that will have consequences for the

126
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: global economy and eventually US. And it's thirteen after five.

127
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: So Andrew Dicken, your talk.

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: Back question of the day is, if you're an investor

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: and landlord, are you back in the rental market because apparently,

130
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: all of a sudden there's a glut of rental properties

131
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: and in fact, you will not believe what landlords are

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: doing to get tenants. And we'll have that story next.

133
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: Here are news Talks at.

134
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: Big on your radio and online on iHeartRadio early edition

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: with Andrew Dickens and One Roof to make your property

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: search simple Youth Talks at B.

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: It's sixteen after five, So this is the question, is

138
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: your rental property back online? And if so, why you

139
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: can text me on ninety two ninety two. Because it

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: wasn't long ago that people looking for a rental property

141
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: we're fighting off hundreds of other applicants to find a

142
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: home to rent. It was tough, but that tide has turned.

143
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: There are so many rentals available that some landlords are

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: offering incentives. Some are saying come and rent my place.

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: I'll give you a five hundred dollars grocery voucher. Others

146
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: are offering three weeks of rent to sign tenants up.

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: So how big is the gap between supply and demand. Why.

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: Serena Gibbon is from the Auckland Property Investors Association and Joints. So, now,

149
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: good morning to you, Serena.

150
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 8: Good morning Andrew.

151
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 9: How are you?

152
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: I'm good. So is this common as a landlord offering

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 3: incentives all over the place.

154
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 8: I wouldn't say it's terribly common.

155
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 10: I think the fact that we're starting to hear stories

156
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 10: of these incentives popping up around the marketplace just tells

157
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 10: us how out of line some landlords rent expectations are

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 10: in terms of the market.

159
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: So for those who do go for the sweetness, do

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: they work.

161
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 8: On a case by case basis?

162
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 10: I hope they work, But in general I think, look

163
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 10: at the end of the day, Andrew, if you put

164
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 10: a lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig, right,

165
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 10: So I think the better option for landlords is really

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 10: look at resetting their reta expectations. Also look at incentivizing

167
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 10: the tenants by upgrading their properties and lifting the property's standards.

168
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 10: So that's a more attractive option for someone to call

169
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 10: a home. And I think for tenants, given all of

170
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 10: these choices, you know, rather than being distracted by a

171
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 10: five hundred dollars food voucher. Research the landlord, go on

172
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 10: the Tennessee tribe, you know, find out what kind of

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 10: landlords are they going to be dealing with. Research the properties,

174
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 10: compare the options that are out, because it's a really

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 10: good time to take advantage of that competitive edge.

176
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: You know.

177
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: The problem though, of upgrading your property is that's even

178
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: more expensive than a five hundred dollars grocery voucher, so

179
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: it's hitting their margins.

180
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 10: Well, not all upgrades would by not all upgrades will

181
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 10: be backbreaking in terms of financial commitment. And if you

182
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 10: do it, if you do it smartly, it could be

183
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 10: incredibly cost efficient, attractive to the tenants, and also add

184
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 10: value to the property. So I wouldn't write that off

185
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 10: straight away. I guess what I'm trying to say is,

186
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 10: you know, landlords and tennants are bit off looking for

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 10: long term benefits rather than short term sweetness.

188
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so when did we start to see a change

189
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: from the rental shortage that we got used to before

190
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: to and oversupply? Did the change in government bring back

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: the investors and the landlords? Are they more properties online?

192
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 10: I wouldn't peg it with the change of government. I would, however,

193
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 10: say that around about a year ago we started hearing

194
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 10: stories of probably seeing vacant for longer open homes being

195
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 10: you know, not really having a lot of people visiting.

196
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 10: So but I think that is really much in line

197
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 10: with the economy very lock stamp or whereas you know,

198
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 10: and exodus of the younger workforce from New Zealand to

199
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 10: the likes of Australia and the UK. You suddenly have

200
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 10: a bottoming out of tenant the tenant, a certain of

201
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 10: cord of tenants. But also you know, when I think

202
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 10: back to back in the post COVID days when we're

203
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 10: going around the country madly building infill terrace housings, you

204
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 10: know what we're hearing is a lot of those terrat

205
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 10: housings are sitting empty, either as properties for sale or

206
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 10: probably for rent.

207
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: I have one last question, hopefully you can answer quickly.

208
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: There's a truism that rents never go down, they just

209
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: don't go up so fast. Could this gut possibly see

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: a drop in rental prices?

211
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it definitely could see a dropping mental

212
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 10: prices in the short term.

213
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 8: Hope it doesn't last long of course.

214
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: And Serena given is from the orkand Property Investors Association,

215
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: And of course you say that. You know, I was

216
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: in the office the other day and we're talking about

217
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: these astronauts who are currently on their way home. They're

218
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: going to splash down about eleven o'clock this morning, and

219
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: they spent nine months in space when they thought they

220
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: were only going to be there for eight days. And

221
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: I thought that would be an amazing experience, but the

222
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: person I was talking to said that would be horrific.

223
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: So what we've found as a fellow who's actually been

224
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: in space for a very long time, and he's going

225
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: to talk to us next. It's five twenty News Talks,

226
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: ABO News.

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: And Views You Trust to start your day.

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: It's early edition with Andrew Dickens and one Roof Make

229
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: Your Property Search Simple.

230
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: News Talks It Be.

231
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: It's five twenty two. This is going to be a

232
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: movie one day, hasn't it. After nine months stranded in space,

233
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams will be back

234
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: on Earth today. Their stay on the International Space Station

235
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: was only supposed to last eight days, but their mission

236
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: had to be extended after the spacecraft they arrived on

237
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: experienced technical issues, so then it ended out being nine months,

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: we're expecting splash down just before eleven o'clock. I joined

239
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: now by retired NASA or astronaut Clayton Anderson. Clayton, good

240
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: morning to you, Clayton. Clayton Anderson from Houston, Texas. Good morning.

241
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: There we go. We're just having a few little difficulties

242
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: with the whole thing. So well, we'll talk to him

243
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: in just a few moments time now. So Clayton's been

244
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: up in the International Space Station for one hundred and

245
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: sixty six days, which is pretty awesome in the first place.

246
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: He did that in one stint. But the question I

247
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: have for him, how about nine months? And how about

248
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: when you actually went up there for just eight days?

249
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: How are you mentally prepared for it? And I have

250
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: another question for him as well. They went up on

251
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: a brand new Boeing star Liners spaceship, which once it

252
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: got there, they said, we can't use this anymore. So

253
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: where's that spaceship now? Is it still attached to the

254
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: International Space Station or did they jettison it space junk

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: and that's a problem, or is there any ability to

256
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: actually fix up the whole thing where the Clayton knows

257
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: or not? And where the Clayton will actually join us

258
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: as another thing. Clayton, I think we have you now.

259
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 11: Good morning too, well is it good morning, good night,

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 11: good day?

261
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 3: You're in New Zealand, whatever you like. You're in space, man,

262
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: every day was night and every night was day. So

263
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: you spend one hundred and sixty six days up there?

264
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: Could you have done nine months?

265
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 9: Good question. My wife and I talked toward the end

266
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 9: of my five months day because there was some uncertainty

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 9: going on and between the two of us, given her

268
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 9: role as the general down on earth with my family,

269
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 9: we figured we could go one or two months after

270
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 9: but if we had to go much longer than that,

271
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 9: it would start to strain everything.

272
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: Hell, what was the strain? I mean, you're up there,

273
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: you're having the world's most extraordinary experience. You'd know that

274
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: there's a risk of it all. So how does it

275
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: strain things?

276
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 9: Well, you know, if you think about Butch and Sonny,

277
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 9: since that's kind of the topic.

278
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: Of the day.

279
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 9: You know, when you don't know the end date, it

280
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 9: can make it harder, it could make it easy if

281
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 9: you don't focus on an end date, which is what

282
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 9: I did, right. I tried not to think about the

283
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 9: end because I didn't know when the end was coming.

284
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 9: That made it easier to deal with missing the wife,

285
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 9: missing the kids. But you know, I was counting on

286
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 9: my wife to do a lot for my family and

287
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 9: that you know, nobody talks about the toll of the

288
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 9: wife and the family down below. You know, she was

289
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 9: the mom, the dad, the driver, the coach, the nurse,

290
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 9: the she did everything. And she my wife was a

291
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 9: NASA employee. She cut her job down. She had to

292
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 9: have a signed agreement with NASA to allow her to

293
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 9: reduce her work week to thirty hours per week so

294
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 9: that she wouldn't get in trouble because she had so

295
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 9: much to do to take care of my kids at

296
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 9: the time. So you know, that's a big sacrifice for

297
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 9: the other half of your family.

298
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: It does kind of show that Butch and Sonny, if

299
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: they've got through it, well, have what it takes, the

300
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: right stuff. You might want to say. It's also, i mean,

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: apart from the Boeing ship breaking down, it's also in

302
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: my view, American exceptionalism because no one was expecting people

303
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: to be there for nine months, only eight days, and

304
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: yet you kept them supplied with food, You keep them

305
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: supplied with oxygen. It was quite a remarkable thing.

306
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 9: Well, you know, yes it was. But the supply process

307
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 9: was never affected by any of this. So supply ships

308
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 9: are typically cargo only things like a Russian progress that

309
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 9: come up and bring things on a regular basis. An

310
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 9: uncrewed dragon capsule can bring supplies lots of ways to

311
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 9: do it. That was never affected. So even though they

312
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 9: had two extra guests on board, it probably wasn't a

313
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 9: big deal for them to keep them supplied with food, water, oxygen,

314
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 9: and clothing. You know, it might have been a little

315
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 9: tough at first until the first cargo ship came up,

316
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 9: but I'm sure they were scrambling on the ground to

317
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 9: make sure that Sonny and Butch got some stuff of

318
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 9: theirs on that cargo ship to bring it up. So

319
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 9: you know, it's a process that's pretty well understood.

320
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Clayton, Yes, exactly right, and they showed

321
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: the right stuff. And thank you to our listeners who

322
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: said the Bone capsule came back to Worth without astronauts

323
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: about three months after it reached.

324
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio, how It

Speaker 2: by News talks Hip be News.

326
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: Looks h B. It is five twenty nine. Winston Peters

327
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: meets with Mico Rubio at eight o'clock this morning our time.

328
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: How impressive has he been his foreign minister. He's diplomatic,

329
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: he knows the values of signals. I don't think it

330
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: was a coincidence that he announced the war against what

331
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: values in public service just before his trip. Marco's age

332
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: will look at that. He'll google Winston and they go, oh,

333
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: he's one of us. He has extraordinary energy for a

334
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: man of his age, considering he has lifetime devotion to

335
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: good drink and smokes. He's always overseas. That's the sign

336
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: of a good foreign minister. You should never see them.

337
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: They should always be overseas doing that job. All of

338
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: this stands in contradiction to his day to day contrarianism,

339
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: and he knows that rustles up his five percent threshold.

340
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: But when he is in a foreign minister position, that's

341
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: the real Winston. He's just good at the former lawyer

342
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 3: who likes the game and is doing good stuff. We'll

343
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: have the details of what he talks to with Marco

Speaker 3: Astronauts, thank you Phil for your text. Ninety two. Ninety

353
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: two is the number. Phil says, these astronauts should be

354
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: coming back to a decent payday. The first three hours

355
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: at time and a half and then after that double time.

356
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: Can you imagine it? Though it's nine months of overtime

357
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 3: in space, I'll be h I'll be working overtime. My

358
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: thoughts about Winston Peters being in his element, Thank you

359
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: to your text. Winstom Peters does a phenomenal job as

360
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: Foreign Minister, possibly the best foreign minister we've ever had.

361
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: Kudos to him. I agree, and Michelle reckons that he's

362
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: the right person for the right time and she could

363
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: not imagine Nanaia Mahuta doing the business at the moment,

364
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: So thank you. Now, we love our pies and the

365
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: Baker's New Zealand PI Awards are just starting the search

366
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: for our best and they've released a fascinating fact. With

367
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: a population of sixty nine point five million, the British

368
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 3: Pie Awards attract nine hundred entries from a population, as

369
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: you say, just about seventy million, whereas the Bakeels New

370
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: Zealand Supreme Pie Awards attract five hundred and sixty entries

371
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: and we have only five point twenty five million. We

372
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 3: love our pies. We eat one hundred million a year

373
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 3: and we're good at making them. So the other day

374
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm wandering around my town center and there was a

375
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: visiting Canadian school rugby team. I said, hello, boys, what

376
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: you doing here? And they said, we've come to be

377
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: thrashed by a New Zealand school team. And I'm like, okay,

378
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: And what was the whole bakery thing? And they were

379
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: going in and out for the pies. It was the

380
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: first time they ever had a New Zealand pie and

381
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: they adored it. There was one fellow who'd had four,

382
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 3: He had four. It was just I love these pies.

383
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: They were walking around the town said that they were

384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: in the supermarket eating pies, loving New Zealand. So there

385
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: we go. Entries for the Bacel's New Zealand Pire awards

386
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 3: open on April twenty eighth. They close on June twenty sixth.

387
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: The judging day got Tommy Ape already July twenty four.

388
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: Awards night July twenty nine, and this year's theme is

389
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: the seventies. It's twenty one to six. Andrew dickens, let's

390
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: go around the nation. Callum Proctor joins you fromdunedan Halle.

391
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: Callum morning, Andrew. We've talked already this week about South

392
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 3: Dunedin at floods. So there's war plans.

393
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 12: Yeah, Well, look, the Council's taking a step forward to

394
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 12: consult with all the parties involved here. Residents will soon

395
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 12: be able to have their say on how to protect

396
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 12: the city's southern suburbs from flooding over the next seventy

397
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 12: five years. The Council voted in favor of allowing engagement

398
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 12: to begin with stakeholders and affected communities. Seven plans for

399
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 12: climate adaptation costing up to seven billion dollars have been

400
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 12: proposed after those two reports found that half of South

401
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 12: Dunedin's buildings remain at risk of rainfall flooding. Mayor Jills

402
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 12: Raddick says residents wants improvements so they can continue to

403
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 12: live there, so he says. The council's responsible for starting

404
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 12: that process.

405
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: Now, okay, how's your weather?

406
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 12: It's partly cloudy here today, southeasteries and nineteen.

407
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: Good stuff, clais here, it joins you from Crastia Tale Claire,

408
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 3: good morning. So Sybby and Brown Todd councils to reverse

409
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: speed limits. Now your council is talking about it.

410
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 13: Yes, so chrish Church City Council is going to consider

411
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 13: whether to reverse these thirty kilometers per hour limits. They

412
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 13: are meant to return to their original speeds by July

413
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 13: in order to comply with Simeon Brown's new Land transport rules. Interestingly,

414
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 13: for us here in Christchurch, three of the seven are

415
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 13: outside schools. That obviously has meant some reaction. Those roads

416
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 13: will move to have variable thirty kilometers per hour limits,

417
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 13: which would only be in place during those drop off

418
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 13: and pick up times. Council will vote whether to approve

419
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 13: those changes today. It will cost rate payers almost one

420
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 13: hundred thousand dollars after we spent thirty thousand putting them

421
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 13: in place last year.

422
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 3: How's you wear the credit?

423
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: Claire?

424
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 13: Pretty miserable rain easing this morning. Clearing a bit later

425
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 13: fresh south westerlies and a high of seventeen.

426
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: Max told joins Us from Willington Helenax, good morning. We

427
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: had a burgary the other day and it resulted it

428
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: in death.

429
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, quite a terrifying story. In the Peninsula suburb of

430
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 4: Merrimand this week, two adults awoke to when in true

431
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: in their home in the early hours of the morning

432
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 4: on Monday. There was a scuffle. Luckily neither were badly heard.

433
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: One was heard, but with minor injuries. The intruder fled.

434
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: The couple called police a short time later. Officers on

435
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: the hunt found another man by his car on a

436
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: footpath in Mirramark, quite badly heard and he has now

437
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 4: died in hospital. Police are calling the break in a burglary.

438
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: The two incidents likely to be linked. Description of the

439
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 4: suspect as a man wearing a white cap, shorts and

440
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: gum boots. There's obviously fear that this guy may have

441
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: been prowling in the area in the weeks prior. There

442
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: may have possibly been some unreported thefts. Police appealing for

443
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: any information they can get.

444
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: Really and I thank you. And what's the weather.

445
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: It's going to be wet some rain through the day.

446
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 4: Fresh southerly. He's keeping things cool. Sixteen the High Central.

447
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: Thank you never written man who joins us from Walkinhall

448
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: and Neva. Good morning, so Tiertitudes and Shot. They're not

449
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: going to have a supermarket for a year.

450
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 14: Correct, Well, what's happening is it willwords This is on

451
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 14: tier to Deo peninsu. It will shut its doors in April.

452
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 14: Food Stuff's planning a new world in its place after refurbishments.

453
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 14: As you say, this closure of the supermarket is going

454
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 14: to leave about fifteen thousand residents without a nearby supermarket

455
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 14: for over a year. So some of the shoppers now

456
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 14: they've told our newsrooms this is going to be tough

457
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 14: for people, especially the elderly, with the next nearest supermarket

458
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 14: about two point six kilometers away. Shane Henderson, he's one

459
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 14: of the councilor's Ziaway Tukety councilor. He says, look, this

460
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 14: is going to cause a bit of inconvenience for residents

461
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 14: and you know those who are not used to using online,

462
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 14: we'll probably have to use that.

463
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is interesting because food Stuff's taking over Woolworths

464
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: their site. You know, this is grocery churin which is

465
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: quite a good thing. How's Awkin's weather?

466
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 14: Showers turning to rain, possibly heavy for a time. This

467
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 14: afternoon twenty one is the high here in Auckland.

468
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: But we are heading for a nice enough weekend after

469
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 3: this weather scuds through, and I hope so because I

470
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: will be gone tomorrow and Friday. I'm on a three

471
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 3: day tramp in the coramand or the Pahe Coastal Track.

472
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: I'm wondering around the top round Port Jackson and I'm

473
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: hoping for some because I don't like tramping. This is

474
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: the wife's idea. This is a walk ruined, but I'm

475
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: doing it and I'm hoping for good weather. It's seventeen

476
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: to six. Germany is spending and borrowing more, but the

477
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: UK is cutting benefits. Gavin Gray joins.

478
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: Usnakes international correspondence with Ends and eye insurance, peace of

479
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: mind for New Zealand business.

480
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: It's fourteen to six. Robert Petman on the geopolitical situation

481
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: in a few months time. But first Gavin Gray out

482
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: of the UK head Gavin either Andrew. So the government's

483
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 3: outlined five billion pounds of cuts to benefits. That's going

484
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: to create a reaction.

485
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 15: It does sound like a terrific amount of money, isn't

486
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 15: it about eleven billion New Zealand dollars But actually it's

487
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 15: a drop in the ocean of the bill at the moment.

488
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 15: So health and disability related benefits have ballooned in recent years.

489
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 15: They currently stand at one hundred and forty billion New

490
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 15: Zealand dollars a year. So those are people who say

491
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 15: they're too sick to work, either physically and or mentally.

492
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 15: But the projections are, with the figures rising as fast

493
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 15: as they am, that will grow to two hundred and

494
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 15: twenty billion within the next five years. This government has

495
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 15: now announced some cuts, but the cuts only equate to

496
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 15: about eleven billion New Zealand dollars a year. Opposition MP's

497
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 15: are saying, well, that's not enough. Others are saying it's

498
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 15: too much. Charities, Trade Union some of the government's own

499
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 15: MPs were among those to condemn the cuts. They say

500
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 15: the money should come from the wealthy and more or

501
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 15: the same should go to those who are too ill

502
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 15: to work, and that we're picking on the sort of

503
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 15: low hanging fruit the ones who can't answer back is

504
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 15: the argument. This has been difficult for the government, but well,

505
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 15: let's see how it goes, and I dare say some

506
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 15: of the economists will be hoping more cuts are on

507
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 15: the way.

508
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely difficult to be a labor person at this time

509
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: in these economies. Now there's a key international treaty that

510
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: bens antipersonnel land mindes, but Poland and the Bolt States

511
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: have announced plans to withdraw. They're worried about Russia. They

512
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 3: want to be able to use their minds.

513
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, this is more knock on, a ripple effect from

514
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 15: the invasion of Ukraine. So the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia

515
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 15: and Lithuania, they are along with Poland in the NATO Alliance,

516
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 15: and all of them share borders with Russia. And they

517
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 15: basically have made it clear that they simply don't believe

518
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 15: that Vladimir Putin is satisfied with going into Ukraine. They

519
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 15: fear that their countries on that border will be the

520
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 15: next Now they are all currently signatories of something called

521
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 15: the Ottawa Treaty, and it's also known as the mine

522
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 15: ban Treaty. It came into effect at the end of

523
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 15: the last millennium nineteen ninety seven, and it really its

524
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 15: aim is to ban anti personnel minds, those aimed at

525
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 15: humans around the world. It's been signed by more than

526
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 15: one hundred and sixty countries, but China, India, Russia, Pakistan

527
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 15: and the US have never signed up to it. The

528
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 15: Baltic States are saying, actually, do you know what things

529
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 15: are changing? Security has deteriorated, things, risks have significantly increased,

530
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 15: So we're we're drawing from this treaty now awful weapons.

531
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: Gavin Gray, I, thank you new schalkz B. It's eleven

532
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 3: to six, So the phone call that the world has

533
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: been waiting for has taken place, in acted just for this.

534
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: We have no details about what was discussed, if anything

535
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: was agreed, We know nothing at this point. But we

536
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: do know that Donald Trump, the United States President, put

537
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: forward his cease fireplay and for Ukraine to his Russian

538
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: counterpart of Vladimir Putin, and up until this point, Trump

539
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 3: has been very bullish about getting a deal, but Putin

540
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 3: has also said he has quote serious questions going into

541
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 3: the discussion. So to talk about this add more, I'm

542
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: joined by Otaga University International Relations professor Robert Patman. Hello,

543
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: Robert Oh, Hello, Robert, Hello, good morning, How are you

544
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: very good? All right? He's Trump been just a little

545
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: bit too bullish and confidence, thinking that Putin would just

546
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: roll over.

547
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 11: On his positive and certainly contrasts with that of Marco

548
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 11: Rubio and also other officials in the administration have been

549
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 11: much more mentioned. Mister Trump said had very positive expectations

550
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 11: of the phone call. We'll just have to see whether

551
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 11: those expectations translate into concrete results.

552
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: Yes, he easily intimidated Ukraine, but Letimia Putin's another thing altogether.

553
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 11: Well, he hasn't really put much pressure on mister Putin.

554
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 11: All the concessions have been from the victim of an invasion,

555
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 11: which is Ukraine, and he's already preemptively given away bold

556
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 11: in concessions to mister Putin. He said that he doesn't

557
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 11: envisage Ukraine joining NATO, which was a key demand of Russia.

558
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 11: And he also says that Ukraine will have to make

559
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 11: territorial concessions, it will have to give up some of

560
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 11: the land stolen by Russia.

561
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Donald Trump always said this could be

562
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: resolved in wigs.

563
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 11: Well, that's clearly not true. And the other thing here

564
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 11: is mister Trump may not be in a position to

565
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 11: deliver any peace even if he gets agreement with mister

566
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 11: Putin because ultimately it's the victim of the invasion Ukraine

567
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 11: that must agree to this, and they're adamant that, you know,

568
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 11: they've lost too many people as a result of Russia's

569
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 11: incursion and invasion to settle for anything less than the

570
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 11: principles that everyone in national relations recognizes where she's full

571
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 11: territory integrity and restoration of state sovereignty.

572
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: What did you make of the fact that the Baltic

573
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: states want land minds back.

574
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 11: There's rising tension, yes, well, you see many countries in

575
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 11: europe An increasing in Germany as well, believe that Ukraine

576
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 11: is not This war is not just about Ukraine. It's

577
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 11: about stopping mister Putin from his expansionist vision of Russian

578
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 11: sphere of influence in Europe. And many countries fear that

579
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 11: if mister Trump hands mister Putin part of Ukraine as

580
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 11: part of a peace deal, then that will have ramifications

581
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 11: for other countries. Many are convinced, as your commentation just said,

582
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 11: that mister Booty won't stop with Ukraine.

583
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: All right, to the other issue, Wins Peters is meeting

584
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio in about ten minutes time to talk stuff.

585
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 3: But I suppose he's really going to be talking tariffs

586
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: rather than peace.

587
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 11: Yes, and obviously we'll be looking to get some sort

588
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 11: of exemption from the tariffs that are being are going

589
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 11: to be announced i think in early April, against most

590
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 11: countries that export to the United States. I'm not confident

591
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 11: we will get an exemption because Australia wishes closest to

592
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 11: the United States than ourselves. It's already been indicated to them.

593
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 11: They won't be getting an exemption on Australian exports like

594
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 11: an Aminimum steel, and that could have been greeted by

595
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 11: considerable disappointment by the Australian government. The other thing here

596
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 11: is even if we do get an exemption, the resulting

597
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 11: trade war that's breaking out will affect New Zealand. We

598
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 11: trade more than one hundred country around the world, so

599
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 11: we may get some bilateral relief, but we'll probably have

600
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 11: some reverses on the multilateral front.

601
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: Okay, And of course we're worried. Winston's very worried about

602
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: security in the Pacific, So will he push that or.

603
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 11: Yes, Well, I think mister Peters, to his credit, has

604
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 11: consistently argued the US should be more engaged in the Pacific,

605
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 11: and that message finally seemed to register with the Biden administration,

606
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 11: who stepped up their engagement in the region. However, the

607
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 11: Trump administration with their disestablishment of USIAID and also their

608
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 11: withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord. Remember, for most Pacific

609
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 11: island nation states, climate changes their number one national security concern.

610
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 11: Those issues raised questions about how committed is the Trump

611
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 11: administration to the fate and the well being of the

612
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 11: Pacific island nations, and that in turn means that China

613
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 11: may have much greater scope to extend its influence than

614
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 11: previously yep sorgo.

615
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,959

623
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: always a Dragon capsule part at the Year Space Station.

624
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,640

Speaker 3: six and myke Hoskin joins me good morning. To be interesting,

634
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,800

635
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: altered more than nine days, because I mean, you know

641
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,320
