Speaker 2: A'd be well, that was always going to happen, wasn't it?

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: What happened what the United States did at the weekend,

48
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: because well, just the soundings that you were getting from

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: the White House were increasingly ominous throughout the last week. Interestingly,

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Jade Varns has said overnight in this interview that the

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: goal of the operation was just to stop the nuclear program.

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: This is not about despite what some people were saying

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: over the last coup twenty four hours, this was not

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: about changing the regime in Iran.

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 7: The main strike package, comprised of seven B two Spirit bombers,

56
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 7: each with two crew members, proceeded quietly to the east

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 7: with minimal communications. Once over land, the B twos linked

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 7: up with escort and support aircraft in a complex, tightly

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: timed maneuver requiring exact synchronization across multiple platforms in a

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 7: narrow piece of airspace, all done with minimal communications.

61
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 8: Our B twos went in and out and back without

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 8: the world knowing at all. In that way, it was historic.

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Well we did know, didn't we We knew about the

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: ones going over the Pacific because we had these warnings

65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: on Sundays saying, hey, there's a B two bomba's going

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: over the Pacific. But that was intentional. They were the decoys.

67
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: The real ones were going from Missouri. Now, this is

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: Jettie Vance talking about the goal of the Operation at War.

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 8: With Iran's nuclear program, and what we did is we

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 8: destroyed the.

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: Iranian nuclear program.

72
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 8: I think we set that program back substantially, and we

73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 8: did it without endangering the lives of the American pilots.

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. So have they done that? Have they? No doubt

75
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: they've taken it back, the nuclear program. You know, they've

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: They've given a good kick in the goolies, but it

77
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: even got rid of it, have they. I Mean, Iran

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: has shown us time and time again that not only

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: are they capable when it comes to nuclear and uranium enrichment,

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: but they are quite determined, aren't they. I Mean, there's

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: not much that puts them off. Just gone ten minutes

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: after five anyway, we'll talk about that with jud Collins,

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: A little later in the program, and we will have

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: a correspondent from the United States as well. I want

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: to talk to you about dog attacks. I've had a

86
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: friend whose dog has been attacked. In fact, that's the

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: second friend of mine whose dog has been attacked by

88
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: one of these mongral ones. So what do we do

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: about this? Nine two ninety two is the number to text.

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: Apparently the council's have gone a bit soft because they

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: get worried, to get concerned what the owners will of

92
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: the dogs will do if they destroy them. So instead

93
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: of actually taking action, they just fob it off to

94
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: the courts and then you're going to go through a

95
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: whole court process. Takes you months, maybe years to get

96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: through that, and the dog stays alive during that process,

97
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: the dog that's attacked your dog or attacked you, which

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: seems crazy to me. Nine the numbers of text. We'll

99
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: talk about that a little bit later on just gone

100
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: eleven after five.

101
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on a early edition with

102
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and x Fole Insulation keeping Kiwi homes warm

103
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: and dry this winter news talks.

104
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: That'd be just gone five thirteen. So some numbers for you.

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: This is just from Auckland. Nearly three thousand dog attacks

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: were recorded on animals and humans across the city last

107
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: year three thousand. That's up more than one thousand on

108
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: twenty twenty numbers. Basically, this is a problem that we've

109
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: heard about for a while now, COVID lockdowns. Everyone winning

110
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: god animal couldn't look after it bred well. They just

111
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: started going at it with one another. And then we've

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: got fewer animals being d six, we've got more unregistered

113
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: dogs and now we have a balloon, a ballooning in

114
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: the number of animals, particularly dangerous ones, dog control offices

115
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: on the front line. This is according to the Herald.

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: They've got a story out this morning. Apparently not just

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: aggressive animals, but threats and abuse from the owners are

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: on the increase as well, so that's delightful. The areas

119
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: to look out for Mony Day were recorded more than

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: two hundred attacks last year alone, seven hundred across the

121
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: last five years. Papa Couda one hundred and eighty attacks

122
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: last year, six hundred and thirty eight over the last

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: five years. The paper points out it's not because they're

124
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: poor areas necessarily, just because they are highly populated ones

125
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: with high dog ownership. But I'm sorry. If you've got

126
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: a dog that is attacking someone or has attacked someone

127
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: or another dog and drawn blood, I mean, I undertink

128
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: they should be put down, don't you.

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: It's gone quarter past five News Talk set B. US

131
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: Defense Secretary Pete Higgsith says the US strikes on three

132
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: nuclear sites in Iran were an overwhelming success.

133
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 8: We devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it's worth noting

134
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 8: the operation did not target Iranian troops, so the Iranian

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 8: people now.

136
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Earlier, Trump told Iran to quote make peace or face

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: far greater attacks in the future. Tony Waterman is the

138
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: US correspondent feature story in News with Me this morning. Tony,

139
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning. So we've heard about the strikes.

140
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: We've heard about the way that this happened. Quite a

141
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: few aircraft were involved and some decoys.

142
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're right. We've got a lot of detail in

143
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 9: that press briefing by the Defense Secretary earlier today, including

144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 9: the fact that this mission actually started at midnight on

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 9: Friday with this group of B two stealth bombers leaving

146
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 9: a military base in the US state of Missouri, and

147
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 9: that group actually split into two one acting as this

148
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 9: decoy flying over the Pacific. The other group heading east

149
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 9: that consisted of seven B two bombers, and they made

150
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 9: this eighteen hour flight to the target areas and they

151
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 9: use these bunker busting bombs, fourteen of them, most of

152
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 9: them dropped on the four dau enrichment site. We also

153
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 9: learned that a Navy submarine in the Persian Gulf fired

154
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 9: off two dozen Tomahawk missiles as part of this attack,

155
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 9: hitting that Islafan site, and the Defense Secretary saying that

156
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 9: this entire operation lasted twenty five minutes and that it

157
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 9: seemed as if nobody on the ground was aware of

158
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 9: what was happening. He said that there were no shots

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 9: fired from the Iranian side. Pete Hegseth also saying that

160
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 9: the objective of this operation was not about regime change,

161
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 9: but about taking out Iran's nuclear capabilit Can.

162
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: I say definitively that I've done that.

163
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 9: Well, it's all about the wording. The President last night,

164
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 9: in this national address, said that the military had completely

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 9: obliterated these nuclear sites. Pete Hegseth used some of the

166
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 9: same language, but at one point he said that the

167
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 9: United States had taken out Iran's nuclear ambitions, which is

168
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 9: very different from completely getting rid of their nuclear capabilities.

169
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 9: And then General dan Kin, who was the chairman of

170
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 9: the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that there is this

171
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 9: battle damage assessment that's underway right now, that all three

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 9: of these sites have been extremely damaged, but that it

173
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,239
Speaker 9: was way too soon to know whether Iran still retains

174
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 9: some nuclear capability. And of course, we had these satellite

175
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 9: images showing this caravan of lorries at the sites in

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 9: the days ahead of these strikes, so it's feasible that

177
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 9: some of this material or some of the equipment may

178
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 9: have been moved. And in fact, it's exactly what Iranian

179
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 9: state media is saying, that these locations were completely empty

180
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 9: when the strikes took place.

181
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: And what about Iran's capability for retaliation? What ammunition have

182
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: they got? Where is the US most worried about them attacking?

183
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 9: Well, the primary concern for US officials right now are

184
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,359
Speaker 9: the forty thousand plus US troops that are stationed across

185
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 9: the Middle East on ships, on land at military basis.

186
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 9: That is the primary concern in terms of retaliation. It

187
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 9: could be a whole bunch of things. What we're hearing

188
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 9: right now is that the Iranians are going to be

189
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 9: shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, which is a major

190
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 9: shipping lane to the world and also particularly for US

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 9: natural gas. So this is potentially going to spike oil prices,

192
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 9: sprit gas prices in hit America in its pocketbook. There's

193
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 9: also concerns that proxy groups, some sort of militias or

194
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 9: terrorist organizations could carry out attacks that either have been

195
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 9: in the works or that are newly produced. So the

196
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 9: US is very much in defense mold right now, but

197
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 9: the President and his team trying to position this as

198
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 9: a very surgical attack, that this is not part of

199
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 9: a larger war that they want to get into.

200
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: All right, Tony, appreciate your time this morning, Tony Wardman,

201
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: who's Fitch Story news reporter out of the United States.

202
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: It's just gone nineteen minutes after five Lots of your

203
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: texts coming in on dogs day. Take care, Tony, Lots

204
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: of the texts coming in on dogs and whether we

205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: should ban that. You know, there are a small number

206
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: of quite dangerous breeds. We do have a number of

207
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: breeds that are banned already, but do we extend that

208
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: to include the ones who we most often hear about

209
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: doing the damage. Ryan Simple banned the small number of

210
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: recognized dangerous dog breeds that would solve the problem. Would

211
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: it solve the problem though? I mean, well, I suppose

212
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: if you saw one you could immediately put it down,

213
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: couldn't you? That would help grants? Is it's more the

214
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: owners of these dogs that are the problem. They're the

215
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: ones that need to be locked away and they're not

216
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: at present? Are they just gone? Twenty half to five year?

217
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: On News Talks hereb we are going to get to

218
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Judith Collins before six o'clock. And Andrew Ordison next on

00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: the All Blacks on.

224
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: Five two On News Talks, head be Andrew Ordison. Here

225
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: was sport this morning? Hey, Andrew, Greeting's right? Now? Should

226
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 2: we start with the All Blacks squad named today? What

227
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: surprises are we expecting? Well, let's start without the surprises.

228
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 6: It's been held at the Coastal Club in Taradaki, so

229
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 6: I would have thought it would be a hell of

230
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 6: a surprise. Of well, Scott Barrett's not captain given it's

231
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 6: the home of the Barretts, and perhaps Jordi Barrett and

232
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 6: and Boden Barrett are part of that squad. But there's

233
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 6: so many sort of areas up for I guess contesting here.

234
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: I mean loose forwards, midfield, outside backs. Just given what

235
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 6: we've seen across the whole breadth of Super Rugby, I

236
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 6: suppose I'm interested to see where the players you haven't

237
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 6: been in that. So there's two sides that contested the

238
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 6: Super Rugby Final with the Crusaders and the Chiefs, you know,

239
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 6: the likes of your dupless Carefi and the loose forwards

240
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 6: there Christian the o'willy with Tomothi Ta Tava Nahwai might

241
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: stand a chance of getting into the midfield and you

242
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 6: can cover on the wing as well. Of course, from

243
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 6: the Heartlanders, it's how much they based on the individual

244
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 6: rather than you know what the combinations have been developed

245
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 6: over that Super Rugby season. But it's always an exciting

246
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 6: time of the year for I guess rugby fans with

247
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 6: the announcement of the All Blacks, and I like the

248
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 6: fact that they're going to the Coastal Club at Tarahaki,

249
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 6: but going a bit off piece if you like to

250
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: go and announce that rather than just the formal occasion

251
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 6: that say, you know Rugby HQ.

252
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I'm looking forward to that. Now. The Crusaders,

253
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: you couldn't wipe the smile off Rob Penny faces and

254
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: you can understand why, right you can.

255
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 6: And he's been through a lot, as they're given. The

256
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 6: pressure is on and probably justifiably in some of the

257
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 6: ways last year with the way that things were going

258
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 6: for the Crusaders. But he's turned out around and you

259
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 6: know where he was given the criticism, he deserves the

260
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 6: credit now. But no confirmation as to whether he's going

261
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 6: to take that job on for the coming season or

262
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: next season and onwards. That will be a fascinating point

263
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 6: of I guess interest as time goes on. But he

264
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 6: was again justifiably elated. And I mean look at that record, right,

265
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 6: I mean what a thirty two or zero playoff record

266
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 6: at home in thirteen of the twenty eight Super Roby

267
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 6: Crowns have gone the way of the Crusaders, so they

268
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 6: just know how to do it and bring it and

269
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 6: the Chiefs Clan McMillan have been so close, I mean,

270
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 6: the most consistent team probably over the last three seasons,

271
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: making him final every time, but just unable to deliver

272
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 6: as he heads off to Munster.

273
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: Now now very quickly, the Warriors lost to the Panthers

274
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: a weekend. Panthers at the weekend that wasn't meant to happen.

275
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 6: Well, it was a bit of a surprise. Well it's

276
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: a surprise in a way, but then Ivan Cleary is

277
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: such a wily coach and he would know, I mean

278
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: mounts smart so well after having six spent six seasons

279
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 6: at the ground as coached the Warriors and having had

280
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 6: this relationship with Andrew Webster that the head coach of

281
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 6: the Warriors now pretty much out Fox I suppose, and

282
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: just yeah, convincing one for them and they needed that

283
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 6: really moving up the table the Panthers now I think

284
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 6: in eighth was seventeen points, Warriors still fourth and there

285
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 6: is a buffer of six points now for the Warriors

286
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 6: from fourth to fifth with the Broncos on eighteen Warriors

287
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 6: twenty four, so they've they're still in control there.

288
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Brilliant Andrew good heavy on the show is always love

289
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: Mondays rining. It is twenty five minutes after five. News

290
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: Talks THEB. We'll get to a little update from the

291
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: satellite images of the bunker Buster bombs.

292
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Next the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

293
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: by NEWSTALKSB.

294
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: News Talks ZB. It is twenty eight minutes after five.

295
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: So we now know the Americans used seven B two

296
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: stealth bombers to attack Iran. A dozen bunker Buster bombs

297
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: were used. They flew in the dark at night, dropping

298
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: the payload just after two am local time. They fired

299
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: Tomahawk missiles from US Navy ships nearby. They call it

300
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: Operation Midnight Hammer. They claimed it was successful, but what

301
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: we don't actually know is how successful and what success

302
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: actually means. Satellite images don't show you what's happening underground. Obviously,

303
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: the bunker Buster bombs are designed to blow stuff up

304
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: around sixty meters underground. Nobody but the Iranians know exactly

305
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: how deep their enrichment facilities are hidden. Nobody knows how

306
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: thick the concrete is that they put on top of it.

307
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: It's possible that the main gups of their facilities haven't

308
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: been hit at all. Then you ask, what does success

309
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: mean if success is destroying Iran's nuclear capability. Well that

310
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: hasn't happened. Signists were taken out in Israel's first strikes,

311
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: but not all of them. Iran has very smart people

312
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: with knowledge of nuclear weapons and enrichment. China sends them

313
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: the uranium. This stripe will have set them back. But

314
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: this is a country who's shown time and again not

315
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: just how capable they are, but how determined they are

316
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: to have nuclear weapons. To be a nuclear state doesn't

317
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: mean the stripe wasn't worth it, of course, if they

318
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: won't negotiate, but also success depends on how you define it.

319
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge twenty nine after five news talks, they'd be

320
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: the reform polling numbers out of the UK. Fascinating. Gavin

321
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: Gray on that shortly News.

322
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: And Views you trust to start your day. It's early

323
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge at expol Insulation keeping, Kiwi, Holmes,

324
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: Ward and Drey.

325
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: This winter news talks had been Good Morning twenty four

326
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: minutes away from sex Yer on Newstalks, there'd be Judith Collins,

327
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: Defence Minister on the program I lead into view before six.

328
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: We're sending a hurt to the Middle East, What use

329
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: will it be? And why haven't you sent it already

330
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: one of the questions. Also, lots of texts this morning.

331
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: We'll get to Gavin Gray out of the UK as well.

332
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: Lots of texts this morning on Iran, and I don't know,

333
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: there seems to be quite a few people who think,

334
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: actually America is the bad guys here. You know, why

335
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: did they head Iran when we don't know for sure

336
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: for certain that they have nuclear weapons? And you're right,

337
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: we don't know for certain that they had nuclear weapons. Well,

338
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: in fact, we don't think they did have nuclear weapons,

339
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: and the US hasn't said that either. It's the enriching

340
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: the uranium that we're worried about. And how close you

341
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: get to being able to, you know, prop up to

342
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: propel a nuclear weapon, and the numbers, by the way,

343
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: you get to over a certain percentage and you're no

344
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: longer looking at a civilian purpose. And they were over that.

345
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: They weren't quite at weapons grade. They were about thirty

346
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: percent off weapons grade, so they weren't, you knowately going

347
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: to have a nuclear weapon in their hands. But I

348
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: guess the question for the US is how close do

349
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: you get to that line? How how tight do you

350
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: want to run this thing. And so if you've got

351
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: an opportunity to drop some bombs and set them back

352
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: a couple of years, then do you just take it? Well,

353
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: clearly they've decided that. Yees, that is the answer. Twenty

354
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: three minutes away twenty two, I should say, away from

355
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: six o'clock reporters around the country now Colum Proctor and

356
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: needing for us this morning, Colum, good morning morning. Right now,

357
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: you've got a lotto winner and invcargo well a ticket

358
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: sold from an invercargol store. Correct, that's right.

359
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 10: They could live anywhere, of course, but two players in

360
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 10: the end sheared the thirty million that was up for

361
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 10: grabs for Powerball on Saturday night. One of those tickets

362
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 10: sold in Wellington won and in the cargo. So the

363
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 10: inv cargo ticket was sold at a Plaza super Well,

364
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 10: at the Plaza Super Valued and Vicago. We know that

365
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 10: the owner says he's only just taken over the store

366
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 10: and was woken by a call from as aeria manager

367
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 10: to be told the news. So he's planning big celebrations

368
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 10: this week with the staff. The ticket, though as yet,

369
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 10: is yet to be claimed.

370
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: Very interesting to see if we ever find out who

371
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: it is and you're weather today callum.

372
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 10: Yet morning cloud then fine strong Selle Westerly is the

373
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 10: high ten today, brilliant.

374
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: Thank you Claires and christ to shake Claire, good morning.

375
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: Now you've got some employment opportunities for us at the

376
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: Metro Sports Center.

377
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, at all of our new sports venues. To

378
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 11: be honest, we've got two hundred people to be employed

379
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 11: at the part of cur Day Recreation and Sports Center,

380
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 11: with up to one hundred and fifty staff expected to

381
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 11: be on site at any given time. That's a facility

382
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 11: that's one of its kind. It's the only one like

383
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 11: it in the country that scheduled for opening later this

384
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 11: year in time for the Special Olympics in December. That's

385
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 11: the one we've spoken about before that's blown out to

386
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 11: cost half a billion dollars. Meanwhile, we've heard from venues

387
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 11: Auto Tahi about doubling their casual workforce. That's ahead of

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 11: the opening of the one New Zealand Stadium at Takaha. Now,

389
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 11: the company already employs about four hundred and fifty casuals

390
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 11: in order to service events at some of the other

391
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 11: venues like the town Hall. They're going to increase that

392
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 11: though to one thousand casuals in time for the stadium's

393
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 11: opening in April next year.

394
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: All right, how's your wear the clear.

395
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 11: Morning cloud and then find frosty by tonight Westerly is

396
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 11: easing and high.

397
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: Of eleven brilliant. Thank you Max's and Wellington Max. Good morning,

398
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 2: good morning. You got questions about the second Mountwik tunnel.

399
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: Yes, during the post this morning. Always good to keep

400
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 5: tabs on where we're at with a big project like

401
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 5: this spades in the ground. Of course, this term was

402
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: the government's promise. The final funding was supposed to have

403
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 5: been determined in June, running out of time for that.

404
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 5: Until then, the Transport Agency can't look at design time

405
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 5: frame obviously cost. Therefore, you've had the Green Party asking

406
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: questions of the Transport Minister on whether a second tunnel

407
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 5: will even be available to pedestrians cyclists. I'm not sure,

408
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 5: was the answer from mister Bishop. A lot of people

409
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 5: walk through the existing tunnel even though it's dark and fume,

410
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: and a bus lane in this second time, for instance,

411
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 5: might be equally if not more important, all things that

412
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: are important to look at. But the clock seems to

413
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: be ticking on that timeframe.

414
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: Certainly, does it just seems like one of those things

415
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: that will never happen, although is desperately needed for anyone

416
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: who's trying to get to the airport in Wellington. How's

417
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: your wear?

418
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 5: The Max mostly fine today thirteen the High Central brilliant.

419
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 2: Thank you neighbors and Auckland good morning game that morning.

420
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 8: Now.

421
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: Kb rawl says passenger line closures will continue in Auckland today.

422
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 12: Yes, that's right, So another day of disruption for Auckland

423
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 12: rail commuters. No trains in the city today. Now, this

424
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 12: is due to this ongoing Kiwi Rail work ahead of

425
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 12: next year City rail Link opening. So this follows that

426
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 12: full closure. This was of Auckland as well as Wellington

427
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 12: train services over the long weekend. I can't tell you though,

428
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 12: that Wellington's train services are back to normal today ours

429
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 12: Auckland due to resume tomorrow now. Kiwi Rail's David Gordon

430
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 12: says that they're working with Auckland Transport just to put

431
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 12: on some of those adequate rail replacement buses like they

432
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 12: do the other closure periods that we've had that alklors

433
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 12: know so well.

434
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're basically always buses now, aren't they? Children

435
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: confuse trains for buses these days and am just.

436
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 12: That's exactly what I was thinking, and you said that

437
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 12: you're quite right right.

438
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: How's that weather?

439
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 12: Partly cloudy, shells easing this afternoon, our high seventeen.

440
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: Have a great day, Neiva, and it's just gone eighten

441
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: minutes away from six o'clock. We will get to Gavin

442
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: Gray out of the UK. Couple of things for him.

443
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: One was the UK at all the military involved in

444
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: the strikes on Iran, you know in terms of help, support, logistics, anything,

445
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: this question being asked over there at the moment. And

446
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: also reform this pole, I'll tell you about it right now.

447
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: You know they've been they've been going up and up

448
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: and out. This is reforming Nigel Farage in the UK.

449
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: But the new IPSOS Political Monitor Pole has Reform on

450
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: thirty four percent, Labor that's nine points ahead of Labor

451
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: on twenty five percent, the Conservatives languishing on fifteen the

452
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: lowest ever in a NIPSOS poll. Kistarmer by the way,

453
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: one year into government and satisfaction levels are pretty much

454
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: down there in the bunker. It's eighteen two six and

455
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: Judith Collins before the N two News Talk.

456

Speaker 1: SEB International Correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of

457
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,480

Speaker 2: You've talked tob It has called it the sixth Judith

459
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: Colins next right now, Gavin Gray are UK europe correspondent. Gavin,

460
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: Good morning, good evening to you. Are there right now?

461
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: The UK has the Kistarmer come out and criticized the

462
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: US for the strikes at this point, what is their.

463
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 13: Position, No, Sir Kistarmer saying obviously warning of a risk

464
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 13: of escalation. However, really the government stance is that there

465
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 13: is no way Iran can have a nuclear weapon, and

466
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 13: so in that sense, you know, he is not criticized

467
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 13: in the Americans, but he's saying that he wants to

468
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 13: reassure the British public that they're doing everything that they

469
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 13: can to stabilize the situation. He has stress crucially here

470
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 13: that there is no involvement in the US action on

471
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 13: behalf of the UK. Now, why is that important? Because

472
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 13: the US Air Force have bases here in the UK.

473
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 13: It was thought that they might use these bases to

474
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 13: launch the attack. That would appear not to have been

475
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 13: the case, I say a peer because UK involvement and

476
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 13: allowing America to use the Air Force Bass are two

477
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 13: slightly different things, but anyway, the Prime Minister this afternoon.

478
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 13: In the last few hours has shared an emergency Cobra

479
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 13: response meeting and held calls with other world leaders, including

480
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 13: France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Frederic Mertz. They are all

481
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 13: urging for Iran not to take any action that could

482
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 13: destabilize the region. But a UK defense source said military

483
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 13: personnel in the Middle East were now on their highest

484
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 13: level of alert, and we're being told as well that

485
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 13: the Foreign and Commonwealth Offices advice against all traveler. Israel

486
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 13: has now organized a charter flight from Tel Aviv for

487
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 13: British nationals who want to leave Israel, and now British

488
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 13: Airways announcing its pausing flights to Dubai in the United

489
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 13: Arab Emirates and Dohat in Kata in light of the situation.

490
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: Kevin I was looking at the numbers, the latest poll

491
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: numbers from IPSOS at the weekend. Just fascinating what's happening

492
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: with reform. So they're on thirty four percent if the

493
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 2: vote was held in my thirty four percent, Labour twenty

494
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: five in the Conservative fifteen.

495
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, a real routing and such great news. For

496
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 13: reform and Nigel Farahs, she's smiling face in plenty of

497
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 13: newspapers at the weekend. This isn't just a creeping up

498
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 13: the polls. This is some avalanche that he's getting in

499
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 13: terms of the polls. But it's one thing to have

500
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 13: those polls. It's another thing of pulse for people to

501
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 13: vote that way. But I think it really is a

502
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 13: reflection of huge dissatisfaction about the levels of migration, yes,

503
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 13: but about the way in which the country's being run,

504
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 13: and he's cashing in big on those. But of course

505
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 13: the general election could be several years away and things

506
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 13: can change very very quickly.

507
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 2: So much for your time this morning. Gavin Gray Are

508
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: UK Europe, corresponding twelve minutes away from six Ryan Mico

509
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Rubio in the last couple of hours has talked about, well,

510
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: we had JD. Vance come out and say no, we

511
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: didn't want regime change in Iran. We just wanted to

512
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: hit the nuclear facilities, which is exactly what they did.

513
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: But look out, regime change could be coming if you

514
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: continue trying to get your hands on a nuclear weapon.

515
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 10: If Iran is committed to becoming a nuclear weapons power,

516
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 10: I do think it puts the regime at risk. I

517
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 10: really do.

518
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 12: I think it would be the end of the regime

519
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 12: of their tribe to do that.

520
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: Now. Our Defense Force is sending a C one thirty

521
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: j Hercules to the Middle East to assist any key

522
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: we stranded in Iran or Israel. Winston Peters at this

523
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: point not saying whether we supported America's strikes or not.

524
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: Due to Collins, the Minister of Defense is with me

525
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: life this morning. Minister, good morning, Oh, good morning, Ryan.

526
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: Do you have any update on those numbers. Apparently there

527
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: were lots coming out of the woodwork yesterday you were

528
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: saying any more overnight.

529
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 14: Not that I'm the wheel of but as we've said

530
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 14: many times now, people should not be in there if

531
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 14: you can possibly get out and get yourself out there

532
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 14: by any fayfish way possible.

533
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: Is it frustrating that people haven't been signing up from

534
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: day one and doing what you said? Yeah?

535
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 14: I guess that people work on the pray and hope

536
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 14: strategy often, which is like, I know, we've heard this

537
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 14: all before, Nothing's going to happen. In those people who

538
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 14: have been in the region for a while, they often

539
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 14: think like that. But it's a natural human condition to

540
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 14: hope for the best, and I think it's very important

541
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 14: everyone takes the opportunity while they can to get themselves

542
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 14: out to the borders. As they said, those airspaces have

543
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 14: not opened up their clothes, so we can't just fly in.

544
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 14: We've got to have people to come out to the

545
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 14: borders at Moon.

546
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean there are land borders open from

547
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: is in a, Jordan and Egypt, the ripen so you

548
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: can cross land and then potentially get a commercial flight anyway.

549
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 14: Yes, that's right, but we've also one of the reasons

550
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 14: for having the Hercules there with our people is that

551
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 14: should those should their airspace open up at all, then

552
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 14: we can possibly go into some areas. But the point

553
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 14: is I really get yourself to a land order if possible.

554
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was watching you and Minister Peter's that Phenolapaie

555
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: said that you know, we're waiting on more information to

556
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: determine if the strike was justified or not from the

557
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: United States. Do we have any more information? Do you

558
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: have a view yet?

559
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 14: Well, I don't not overnight, and that would normally be

560
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 14: the Foreign Affairs or to deal with that. But no,

561
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 14: I don't have any more information.

562
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: Do you know whether it was legal or illegal.

563
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 14: No, I'm not trying to give you a legal advice

564
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 14: on something I don't have full information on.

565
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: Right, we still have Pie, we still have personnel minister

566
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: in Jordan Air for Operation Gallant Phoenix, because I know

567
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: you did an update on that a couple of weeks back.

568
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: This is under US Special Operations Command. Are they at

569
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: any risk of a retaliatory strike by Iran?

570
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 14: I would not have thought so, and the Defense Force

571
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 14: has made their assessment on risk. We do have, as

572
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 14: you write, you say quite a few people in the

573
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 14: Middle East, and our people in the Middle East, you know,

574
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 14: obviously for most in our minds, my view is don't

575
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 14: take unnecessary risk, particularly a small nation like ours. We

576
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 14: have to be very careful about what we do. But

577
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 14: I don't believe our people are under any particular threats according.

578
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: To Defense so none of them are being moved.

579
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 14: Well, I can't say exactly where everybody is, but I

580
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 14: can tell you that we still are continuing with some

581
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 14: of our operations in the Middle East, but there are

582
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 14: some people have already been moved out. Sorry to be vague,

583
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 14: but I have to be bad.

584
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: It's okay when you say people were moved out you

585
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: last week as a result of this.

586
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 14: In the last week or so.

587
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: And any change to the war games that are going

588
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: to be happening. I think it's July nine due to

589
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: start a Talisman Saber in off the Queensland coast. We've got,

590
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, people being sent there. Any change to that at.

591
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 14: All, not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't have thought not.

592
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 14: It just depends what happens. I mean, I think everyone's

593
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 14: very aware in the sense that anything can happen at

594
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 14: any stage, so they've just got to be prepared. But

595
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 14: at this stage there's no change, okay.

596
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: And new funding for Ukraine, I see it announced overnight

597
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: by Prime Minister Luxe. And we had actually the ambassador

598
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: on our Herald show a week or so ago and

599
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: he was talking about maybe we could pick up some

600
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: of their drones. Are we looking at that at all?

601
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 14: Yes, we have actually quite a few drones ourselves in

602
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 14: terms of the manufacturing New Zealand, but it would be

603
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 14: it's a very nice offer that Ukraine has learned an

604
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 14: awful lot about warfare. We're using drones and they're also

605
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 14: they've made let's say they have learnt a lot more

606
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 14: than many other people have. So there's nothing wrong with

607
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 14: us actually talking to Ukraine about what those liasons are.

608
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 14: Impossibly some of those drones, but I think right at

609
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 14: the moment their drones are necessary in crime.

610
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time this morning, Minister. That's Judith Colin, c

611

Speaker 2: the Middle East in the last week as a result

619
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,320
