Speaker 2: this morning and international correspondent is Gal Downey from the UK.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: The agenda.

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: It's Monday, the twentieth of January, after a delayed start

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 2: the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas's holding. With the first

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: hostages now released, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: won't hesitate to return to fighting.

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: Both President Trump and Biden gave full backing to Israel's

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: right to return to fighting if Israel reaches the conclusion

27
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: that negotiations of the second stage are fruitless. If we

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 3: need to, we will do that with great force.

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: Before the ceasefire, an average of forty trucks daily were

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: entering Gaza, while the ceasefire agreement requires six hundred daily.

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: Protesters have stormed a court in South Korea after it

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: extended impeachment President John Supul's detention for up to twenty days.

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Before the court decision, his lawyer said the president complied

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: with police questioning you, insincerely explained and answered questions on fact, relationships, evidence,

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: and legal principles.

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing much we can say for now.

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: We will wait for the court to decide. Around forty

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: protesters were arrested, and wine sales in the US last

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: year dropped six percent from the year before. Experts point

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: to generational shifts in alcohol consumption, saying baby boomers embraced

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: wine in the industry assumed that that would continue. It's

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: a growing shift with global prices also on the decline.

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: The price of burgundy dropped fourteen percent in the year

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: to November, Bordeaux eleven percent, and vintage champagne nearly one

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: hundred percent.

Speaker 1: Separating the fact from the fiction heads Fily edition with

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: one Room, Make Your Property Search Simple, news talks.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: There be so interesting times for the one hundred and

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: seventy million Americans who used TikTok. Like yesterday, Chinese owners

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Byte Dance. They did what they've been threatening to do,

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 2: and just hours before the federal ban was set to

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: take place, the at went dark and US users could

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: no longer access the platform to watch videos. A message

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: appeared saying sorry, TikTok isn't available right now, and then

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: went on to say we are fortunate that President Trump

56
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: has indicated that he will work with us on a solution. Now,

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: you'd think that this will put Trump in a little

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: bit of a tricky situation. I mean, once upon a

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: time he did try and ban TikTok and we Chat.

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: That was before he realized TikTok was good for winning

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: over young voters, but new tech loving Trump has indicated

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: in an interview with NBC News over the weekend that

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: he was considering granting a ninety day extension that might

64
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: allow TikTok to keep going beyond today. He even posted

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: save TikTok in a truth social post by Dance previously

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: said it wouldn't sell. But the TikTok CEO is expected

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: at Trump's inauguration with the prime seating location. So who

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: knows how this will play out. Will Trump's cozy new

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: relationship with tech billionaires sway him to act. I suppose

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: a big question for US as could it affect us well.

71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: If TikTok refuses to sell and Trump does end up

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: in forcing the band, it might just be a matter

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: of time before the ban creeps around the world. The

74
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: app was banned by US lawmakers because they ruled it

75
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: a national security risk due to that they thought that

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: by dancers ties that were a bit too close to

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: the Chinese government. This is these are ties that denies.

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: But the US has a habit of lobbying allies on

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: security issues and their cyber policies, much like they did

80
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: with Huawei. So if you're a local content creator, that

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: can't imagine life without the app. You probably have your

82
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: eye on what's going on here. You may have to

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: do what all the US users are doing. They're promoting

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: their Insta handles and ironically joining the Chinese based video

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: platform Red Note. But hey, at the end of the day,

86
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: there are worse things in the world than waking up

87
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: to one less social media app. You're with early edition.

Speaker 2: on day one. Immigration issues will be one to watch

96

Speaker 2: of TikTok in the States. He'll be taking the oath

98

Speaker 2: Marco Rubio's former chief of staff. Thanks for being with us, Matt.

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: Hey, great to be with you.

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: What are you expecting to see tomorrow?

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 4: Well, look, I think he's going to give a speech

105
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: for he's gonna be very honest about what he tens

106
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: to do, not just on day one of his presidency,

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: but for all four years of his presidency. And I

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: say that because throughout the campaign, who's very honest and

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: transparent about what he would do if elected. He's been elected,

110
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: and he'll be sworn in soon here as the next president.

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: So look, I thin it's gonna be speech tomorrow that's

112
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: going to outline his agenda, particularly on the border, inflation,

113
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 4: the economy, a lot of the foreign policy aspects we're

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: facing both as a nation as the world. And then

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: from there it's not just talk as in the action.

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 4: You know. It supposedly has about one hundred executive orders

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: lined up that I don't think he's gonna wait to

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: get to the White House to sign. I think you're

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: gonna likely to see him tomorrow immediately after his speech,

120
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: go right there in the Capitol and start signing the

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: executive executive orders, particularly relates to border security, immigration, among

122
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: other key policies as well.

123
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are some of those significant moves that he

124
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: might make on day one. The Americans keeping an eye on.

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: Well, particularly on border security. I think you're going to

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 4: see him take action on that on day one, namely

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 4: relates just starting with the deportation of people have been

128
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: here in the country illegally, but namely starting with people

129
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: who've been in the country illegally who've committed violent crimes.

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see him start there, and

131
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: then beyond that many other domestic priorities as well, for example,

132
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: on energy and drilling, I think you're going to see

133
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: him take immediate action on that. So a lot of

134
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: these these things are going to see on day one

135
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: through executive orders, but some of his againa certainly needs

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: a wait to have, you know, action taken. On Capitol Hill,

137
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: there's legislation. I think we're gonna see there is one

138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: big bill that he's to be working on with Congress.

139
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: As include a lot of the key domestic policies, particulars

140
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: of the release of tax relief and of the key

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: policies he campaigned on. And honestly, these other things are

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 4: gonna be taking shape here as well. In the foreign

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: policy stage, particularly at lays to Ukraine Russia. Obviously we've

144
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 4: seen him already play a major role defining role on

145
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 4: the initial phase one here ceasefire and the hostage dynamics

146
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: that have taken place between Israel and Amas. So look,

147
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: these are all things that are in motion here. I

148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: think a lot of it doesn't take place tomorrow, with

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: a lot of the executive orders and of course working

150
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: with Congress on a lot of key legislative activities as well, because.

151
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: He has promised a lot, Matt, But do you get

152
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: the feeling that they are prepared and ready to go?

153
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Look, this is a far smoother transition than what

154
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: you say, all with his first transition when he was

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: first elected president in his first term. And look, you

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: keep people like Susie Wilds and others have been really

157
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: driving this transition team. You know, I think it was smart,

158
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: frankly for him to announce his team, particularly nominees for

159
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: his candidate positions early on. He did that weeks ago.

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: In many cases, I think there was a smart move. Clearly,

161
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: they are ready to go. They are prepared for this.

162
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: You know, he has been working through and through I

163
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 4: believe on this transition. They are ready to go. Starting

164
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: tomorrow day one with these executive orders, There's no question

165
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: about that. But these are relates to things that he

166
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: campaign down and you're right, Look, he needs to now deliver,

167
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: and he really the first one hundred days of his

168
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: administration are you know, every day matters in his administration,

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: but the first one hundred days are really a unique

170
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: window to deliver for the American people a lot. You know, well,

171
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: of our seventy million Americans that have voted for him,

172
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: they voted for because they want to change on the economy,

173
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: change on the inflation, border security, among other big parties

174
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: that they had in mind when they voted for him.

175
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: Now he needs to deliver.

176
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: Matt Maco Rubia his being picked as Trumps Secretary of State,

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: what are you expecting from him in that role?

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: Well, look, first of all, I think it's a great choice.

179
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anyone who's been more prepared to

180
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: be the center of faith than Marco Rubio. This is

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: someone who served on the Senate Form Relations Committee, sent

182
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: an Intel Committee. He has spent a great deal of

183
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: time building relationships with leaders on the foreign policy stage,

184
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: and he knows these issues that the United States and

185
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: world are facing right now. Is relates to China policy.

186
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 4: You know, he knows issues and priorities have released to Ukraine, Russia,

187
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: another key foreign policy dynamics taking place here. So look,

188
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: this is a very different world that President elect Trump

189
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: is entering with respect to his term here in comparison

190
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: to the world that he entered during his first term.

191
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 4: And particular it relates to a lot of the new

192
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: policies and initiatives taking shape here and dynamic taking place

193
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: in the foreign policy stage. But it's also picking up

194
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: I think where President Trump left off in his first term.

195
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: I think to see him do that with Abraham Accords.

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: I think going to see him go back to maximum

197
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 4: pressure with Iran. So I think we can see some

198
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: new policies rolled out with his foreign policy team, and

199
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: I certainly sort of Rubio playing an instrumental role in

200
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: that as the next Secretary of State. But again, I

201
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 4: think a lot of this be picking up war proisdent

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: Trump left off in his first term as well on

203
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: the foreign policy stage.

204
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Matt, thank you so much for your time today. That

205
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: was Matt Terrell, the managing director at Firehouse Strategies and

206
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 2: Marco Ruby, Rubio's a former chief of staff. Next up,

207
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: we have the sports wrap up. It is eighteen past five.

208
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: Setting the news agenda on early editions with one roof

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: make your property search simple, News.

210
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: Talk dB is time for our weekend sport wrap up

211
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: and Elliott Smith's sports reporter on the Voice of Rugby

212
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Here at newstalksb joins me. Good morning, Good morning. Saldip

213
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: thought Auckland looked fantastic.

214
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: It did.

215
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: It looked out standing. Everyone got him behind it mean,

216
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: this is the city of Sales. The grand stand was

217
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 5: packed out. The racing this saying wasn't too bad, I

218
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: think was pretty good as well. I mean it's so quick,

219
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: isn't it? Nine ten minute races. I mean that's shorter

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 5: than you know, seven's game. You think about those old

221
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 5: America's Cup races where they lasted for three four hours,

222
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 5: and now we're down to ten minutes, sort of mini

223
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 5: races on the water. It's a quick concept. You're in

224
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 5: and out.

225
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: Look.

226
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: I thought it was. It looked spectacular on the Aukland

227
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: waterfront and you know, bring it on more of the same.

228
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 5: It sounds like they're negotiations to lock it away for

229
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 5: a few more years too.

230
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: What was fun about it? Was you had kind of

231
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: a different winner each race.

232
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't.

233
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 2: It wasn't kind of set in stone how it was

234
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: all going to turn.

235
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 5: Out, that's right. And some races I think you had

236
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 5: on the first day. Germany didn't shot up for one

237
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 5: of them because they had to sort something out. And

238
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: when you've got four races a ninety minute window, you know,

239
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 5: you don't have time to a pair of things. Canada

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: went in there for a bit yesterday. So in Australia,

241
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 5: you know, it kind of went to the best overall

242
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 5: team over you know, the seven or so races we

243
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 5: had over the course of the weekend, so there was

244
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 5: some consistency there. But I mean it's just quick fight.

245
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 5: But if you don't get the start right in those races,

246
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: you're pretty much done for, right. Yeah, nine minutes isn't

247
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: a long a lot of time to crawl back a

248
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: dodgy start.

249
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: So the New Zealand team managed to crawl back quite

250
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: a few places, just not quite enough at times. Absolutely,

251
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: Hey was the Open of Courses in full swing.

252
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: It is Djokovic, but a controversy last night didn't do

253
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 5: that traditional on court interview at the Aussie Open. They

254
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 5: do when Jimmy Currey comes and interviewed the players, and

255
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 5: basically this all seems out to Friday night when one

256
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: of the Aussie broadcaster is basically had a crack at

257
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: the Serbian fans on here. They were chanting at him

258
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 5: and he decided to give it back to them in

259
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: spades and told Jokovic, you know, he's not welcome in Australia.

260
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah. Now Djokovic somewhey got back to us, say,

261
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: somehow got back to him. It's all over social media,

262
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: so he's refused to do the on court interviews. But

263
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: he was very, very good last night. This is a

264
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: big match tomorrow night. I suspect it will be Tuesday

265
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 5: night quarter final him versus Carlos Alcarez. Think of that.

266
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: In a quarter final, that's where the Under Grand Slam

267
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 5: Fungland itself. So that's a huge match. But Djokovic and

268
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 5: Alcarez both winning through last night with a tinger controversy

269
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 5: as well, and down one feast playing tonight the ASP Classic,

270
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 5: and how good's he been being in number four yesterday?

271
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: And how delightful was he when he won?

272
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: Just gorgeous, outstanding, and you know he can barely. He

273
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: just shuffles along the court. He can barely move, but

274
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 5: here he is.

275
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: I think you might move better than you and I.

276
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: Had as a professional tenness player.

277
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: And really quickly. Good to see Auckland f C back

278
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: and forth.

279
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 5: Yes, I've been a bit wobbly, haven't they, but managed

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: to get that when I'm a previous leaders in Melbourne City.

281
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 5: You know, three goals in the space about sixteen minutes

282
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: in the first spell. Big crowd again me Saturday, I

283
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 5: was huge in an Auckland sal GP on one side

284
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 5: of the city. Auckland f C getting a decent old

285
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: crowd there and they've got a big, big wig as

286
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: well MIDWEK game against Adelaide as well Wednesday night.

287
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: So thank you so much, Elliott, appreciate that key to

288
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: hear you what you thought about the sale GP. You're

289
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: most welcome to text me on ninety two ninety two.

290
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: A few people text me yesterday on the Sunday session

291
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: to say that actually they found the graphics and things

292
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: on the television coverage quite hard to follow. That it

293
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: all just you know, it all happened in such a

294
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: small space and it was it was all just a

295
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: bit clustered and they weren't sure what was going on.

296
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: How did you find it? I haven't watched a lot

297
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: of sale GP. This was the opportunity for them to

298
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: grab me and get me to come back and watch more.

299
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: And I think I will. Ninety two is our text number.

300
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 2: It's twenty four past.

301
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Five the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

302
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: by Newstalks at Me.

303
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: Like many of us over the summer, Prime Minister Christopher

304
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: Luxon used his downtime to reflect on the year that

305
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: had been, and, like many of us, put together his

306
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: in and outlist for twenty twenty five. This is the

307
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: way the young people do New Year's resolutions these days? Well,

308
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: what's in and out to corner new rather crude spin.

309
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: Yesterday afternoon, when he announced a reshuffle of ministerial roles

310
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: for national MPs, Melissaly lost all her portfolios. Matt Doucy

311
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: is handing over acc Tourism and Hospitality and Youth to

312
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: various other MPs to focus on his mental health and

313
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: Associate health roles, and doctor Shane Retti passes on the

314
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: health portfolio to Simeon Brown instead picking up a new

315
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: university's role. Plus science innovation and technology. The emphasis on

316
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: health and economic growth is not a surprise, and while

317
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister continues to express confidence in Retty spoke

318
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: of his achievements last year, it's clear he's decided his

319
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: ministerial skills are better used elsewhere. However, the health goals remain.

320
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: What the government wants to see is faster cancer treatment,

321
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: shorter stays in eds, shorter wait times to see a GP,

322
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: get specialist appointments or get an elective treatment. But health

323
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: is a beast of a portfolio and obviously it became

324
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: clear to the Prime Minister that the New Zealand public

325
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: is not impressed with the speed of progress towards these targets.

326
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate Luckson's loyalty. Others questioned Retty's performance last year,

327
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: but loyalty doesn't get the job done, and Luckson needs

328
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: a political operator who can, in his words, deliver and execute.

329
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: Step on up then the delivery man, Simeon Brown. Prime

330
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: Minister Luxon described Doc Dirretty as a top quality human

331
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: being in a team player when asked how we took

332
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: the news and look, I couldn't agree more. He's a

333
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: good guy. I've always found him to be thoughtful, dignified,

334
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: his intentions, genuine and knowledgeable on the health system, but

335
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: he was quite as good at communicating how things were

336
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: moving forward and simple, decisive, reassuring sound bites. Yes there

337
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: were wins, such as the announcement of cancer drugs, another

338
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: seventeen billion been thrown in health over three years, and

339
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: suggestion of change in culture and health New Zealand, but

340
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: they can't compete with headline grabbing issues. The system is

341
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: facing things like staff shortages, government issues, funding deficits in

342
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: the proposed scale back to Dunedin's hospital rebuild. On top

343
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: of that, too many frontline and senior clinicians said Doctorrretti

344
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: was out of his depth. I wonder if doctor Etti

345
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: is quietly signed with relief at being moved on from

346
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: a portfolio often seen as a poison chalice, as Claire

347
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: Trevet calls it. He might not have had the mongrel

348
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: to get health under control quickly enough for the national leader,

349
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: but that's not to say he won't be effective in

350
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: his new roles. Well, the Prime Minister has previously said

351
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: he sees no need for a reshuffle. This actually is

352
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: a positive start to twenty twenty five for luxin sure,

353
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if you

354
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: think you can do better, then hell yeah, let's go.

355
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: Hopefully we will get a more efficient health system out

356
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: of it.

357
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: News Talks EDB.

358
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: Can you hear your thoughts? Do you think it's a

359
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: good start to the year for Prime Minister Luxin? I

360
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: think he's made a good move here. Has he gone

361
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: far enough? Though? Would you like to have seen more

362
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: changes or are you comfortable with the changes that he

363
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: has made at this stage? You can text on ninety

367
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: Good Morning his early edition on Newstalks. I'm Francesca Vudkins

368
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: filling in for Ryan. He's going to be with you

369
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: at six am this morning. Thanks for being with us.

370
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: Just a very quick update. The New York Times has

371
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: released and breaking news that President elect Trump has said

372
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: that he will issue an executive order on Monday to

373
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: extend the period of time for TikTok before the laws

374
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 2: prohibitions take effects, that they can make a deal to

375
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: protect our national security. So it looks like TikTok will

376
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 2: get a ninety day reprieve in order to try and

377
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: sell the company. It is unclear though, whether Trump's effort

378
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: will be If it's will be successful, his executive order

379
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: could face a legal challenge and companies subject to the

380
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: law may determine that it doesn't provide enough assurance for

381
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: them to put TikTok back on their platform. So we

382
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: will keep an eye on that story for you. In

383
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: the next half hour, we head around the regions and

384
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: to the UK, where a British Israeli hostage is expected

385
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 2: to be released today following this cease thy ideal between

386
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas and yesterday afternoon, the Prime Minister kicked

387
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: off the year with his first reshuffle of national ministers

388
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: since coming to power, with the priorities being the health

389
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: system and economic growth. Finance Minister Nikola Willis has been

390
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: given more wide ranging powers over the economy. She is

391
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: with us before the end of the hour to talk

392
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: about what she hopes this will achieve. Thank you very

393
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: much for your texts on the reshuffle. Good to see

394

Speaker 2: luxon making decisive moves regarding health outcomes and other policies.

395
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Strong leadership is apparent and needed a positive move. Indeed,

396
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: regarding the salgp ifew of you have textas say oh look,

397
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: I found it confusing. I found it blooming confusing, one says,

398
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: switched over to the chase.

399
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 6: I don't know.

400
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: I kind of it took me a while to get

401
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: used to. But once I kind of got used to it,

402
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: I got on. I was there, I was into it.

403
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: I love the fact that these are short, sharp races.

404
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: It's exciting, it's quite unpredictable. Yeah, I think to know

405
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 2: a little bit more excitingly in the America's cup. Maybe. Anyway,

406
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: keep the feedback coming. You can text on ninety two

407
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 2: ninety two news talk zbe right, let's head around the country.

408
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: Joining us now from Dunedin as Callum Proctor, Good morning,

409
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: Callum morning. Francisco Attaga University researchers have discovered more about

410
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: the nesting behaviors of native solitary bees yea.

411
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 7: The study out of Dnedans looked into three species of

412
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 7: bees here, not the common honey bees that we're familiar with,

413
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 7: but those that tend to nest alone in underground burrows.

414
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 7: These bees forage, they build nests independently, and the study

415
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 7: has used cameras to monitor mostly females bees habits, and

416
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 7: it's found that they were most active when temperatures were

417
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 7: between twenty and twenty five degrees, less active when it

418
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 7: was colder. The researchers say that these findings are important

419
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 7: for many reasons, including us for conservation efforts, but more

420
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 7: research is needed.

421
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 2: Fascinating. What's the weather like today in Dunedin? Callum, good

422
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: day to be a bee?

423
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 7: Find today Southerly's developing a a high of nineteen Thank you.

424
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Claire Sherbert is with us now in christ Church. What's

425
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: the reaction for the first ever Minister for the South

426
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: Island Claire.

427
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 8: Yes, Francesca Well, it's shocked from the vung Tata MP

428
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 8: James Meager. After this appointment, he's been tasked with the

429
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 8: new South Island portfolio. He takes that as well as

430
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 8: Hunting and Fishing, Youth and Associate for Transport. He will

431
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 8: stay on as the Select Committee chair for the time

432
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 8: being as well. He was actually at Saturday's Blackclash cricket

433
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 8: match at Hagley Oval when Chris Luxon called him about this.

434
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 8: He told our newsroom he was gobsmacked. He had to

435
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 8: find a corner in order to process what the PM

436
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 8: had said to him. Meagher said the Prime Minister and

437
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 8: him will meet in the coming days in order to

438
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 8: flesh out this role a little bit more. Meanwhile, Matt Doocey,

439
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 8: who was previously the only South Island based MP, has

440
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 8: lost acc Tourism and Hospitality as well as his youth portfolios.

441
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 8: He will though keep Mental Health and Associate Minister of Health.

442
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 9: Lot on the go.

443

474
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: Flip.

475
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: I was a rude awakening this morning.

476
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 10: Within alarm went off. I was crying on the inside

477
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 10: and the out.

478
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: It's a little bizarre and unfamiliar, but that's not a

479
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: bad thing. That a bad thing. Correct? Could you get

480
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: on with you? Could you get on with your news?

481
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 5: My job my job.

482
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 10: Well, Okay, so I was trying to choose an awkward

483
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 10: story and I have found one that you haven't actually

484
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 10: mentioned so far because everyone's talking about oh the sale

485
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 10: GP Luke Combs, blah blah. We're not going to talk

486
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 10: about that today. So the first of two inquiries this

487
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 10: is relating you remember that franchise scat. Yes, the allegations

488
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 10: are misusing census information. Well, the first of the inquiries

489
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 10: come out has found no evidence of data breaches. So

490
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 10: in June last year, this is when the allegations arose

491
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 10: of mandldere wore my I misusing the twenty twenty three

492
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 10: census data. This was to help to party Mardi's election campaign.

493
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 10: So the sixty seven page report, I haven't read it,

494
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 10: but it finds the approach by far no order to

495
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 10: lift Mardi participation for the census whent above and beyond obligations. So,

496
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 10: I mean, I know you're thinking, what's that all so mean?

497
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 10: But you know they did say that this independent investigation,

498
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 10: it gives nine recommendations for improving stat zemz's procedures. Okay,

00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 11: Good Marde. Great to be on the show.

519
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: Is this a new portfolio or just a new name?

520
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 11: Well, it is a new portfolio because the Pen's given

521
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 11: me the mandate to make sure that across all of

522
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 11: the portfolios that make a difference to our businesses, exports,

523
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 11: our industries, our innovators, that we are doing all that

524
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 11: we can so that they can grow, so that they

525
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 11: can be smare harm more people, add more value to

526
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 11: what they're doing. And so that means pulling that together

527
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 11: across government, working of course through the Economic Development Agency

528
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 11: and doing the work that has been done there in

529
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 11: the past, but building on that to really drive our

530
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 11: growth ad you forward.

531
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: So how are you going to do that? What are

532
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: your plans for your extended role.

533
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 11: Well, my plans are to get alongside New Zealand small businesses,

534
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 11: our industry leaders, some of those entrepreneurs in our community,

535
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 11: and to work with them to say, okay, what are

536
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 11: the things getting in your way that are making it

537
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 11: hard to do business in New Zealand. Because the truth

538
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 11: is when businesses are doing well, when they're investing, when

539
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 11: they're spending, when they're hiring people, that's when all New

540
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 11: Zealanders do well. And that's what we want to see.

541
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 11: And we know whether it's regulation, whether it's the way

542
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 11: the science system's working, whether it's the education system, infrastructure,

543
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 11: our investment rules, those things can really get in the way.

544
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 11: So we've been a government that's been making reforms across

545
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 11: all of those areas, but we want.

546
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 4: To keep going.

547
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 11: We want to go harder. We want to make this

548
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 11: one of the best places in the world to do

549
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 11: business because that will benefit everyday New Zealander.

550
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: So can you give me an example of how you

551
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: might work with another portfolio and another department.

552
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, a.

553
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 11: Good example is the science and Innovation space. Doctor Shane Reshi,

554
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 11: as a Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, will take

555
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 11: responsibility for delivering changes in that area. My role will

556
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 11: be to work with some of our businesses and industries

557
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 11: and to say what do you want to see happening there,

558
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 11: and then to make sure that we're prioritizing that work effectively,

559
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 11: that it's being delivered in a timely fashion, and also

560
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 11: to make sure it really connects with that economic growth goal.

561
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 11: Are we doing the things in our science and innovation

562
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 11: system that will make New Zealand a wealthier place where

563
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 11: people have better choices and better jobs, and across all

564
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 11: of the portfolios, whether it's the commerce portfolio where we

565
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 11: want to see greater competition in many of our sectors,

566
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 11: whether it's the infrastructure portfolio where we want to see

567
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 11: infrastructure delivered better. It's about continuously working with ministers to say, okay,

568
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 11: are we doing in a way that will make the

569
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 11: ship go faster, that will make New Zealand grow faster.

570
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 11: So I'm looking forward to it.

571
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: Minister, you said yesterday that you want to make New

572
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: Zealand a great place for the next generation. You spoke

573
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: about our children wanting to live here in New Zealand,

574
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: But what about now, what about the young people coming

575
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: out of university, what about people thinking of having a

576
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: family here in New Zealand. I mean, we all want

577
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: you know, we don't really want to wait and need

578
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: another generation for New Zealand to be a great place

579
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: to be.

580
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 11: Well, I know that that's exactly what I have in mind, Franciscan.

581
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 11: My point is for them to want to stay here.

582
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 11: Those are exactly the young people I have in mind.

583
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 11: They need to see not just about what New Zealand's

584
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 11: doing now. They're thinking about what will my life be

585
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 11: like in New Zealand when I'm raising a family of

586
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 11: my own, when I'm here in my thirties, And I

587
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 11: want them to look at New Zealand and see, actually,

588
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 11: this is a country that's going to get beiser and better.

589
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 11: We've got enormous prospects and a world where there is

590
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 11: huge amounts of instability. Here we are huge natural resources,

591
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 11: incredible sectors across our economy and a government is going

592
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 11: to back them to grow so that this place will

593
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 11: be a place of great jobs unity. That's what I

594
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 11: want our young people to see. That's exactly the AJDA

595
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 11: that I want to try a forward.

596
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,640

Speaker 6: Good morning Gail, Morning Francesca.

605
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: Tell me the British Israeli hostage is expected to be

606
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: among the first hostages free today.

607
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: Where is this it.

608
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 6: Okay? So we have an update on that. She has

609
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 6: actually now been released, along with two other young women,

610
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: doren Steinbecker, who was also snatched from the kibbutz where

611
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 6: Emily was working, and the other hostage and again another

612
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: young woman called romy Gonne she was ambushed when she

613
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: tried to escape the super Nova festival along with hundreds

614
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: of others. When Hamas attacked, the three young women were

615
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: handed over to the Red Cross. They're now currently at

616
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 6: an Israeli military base. The Israeli military took them from

617
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 6: the Red Cross to escort them back to Israel, which

618
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 6: is where they now are, and I can tell you

619
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 6: that the mothers are due to meet them shortly.

620
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: Oh, wonderful news. Is the concerned in the UK about

00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: the stability of the ceasefire?

622
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: Well, I think there's concern everywhere about the stability of

623
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 6: the sea spire because of course the second stages is

624
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 6: the rebuild, you know, the infrastructure. If you see the

625
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 6: images in Gaza and other cities, who is now going

626
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 6: to be in charge of that, who is going to

627
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 6: pay for it, and who ultimately is going to run

628
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 6: the strip because of course there are fears about Israel's

629
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 6: intent just as much as our fears about the intent

630
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: of Hannas and also rival group within the region.

693
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 12: Well, look, there was a delay already overnight. They had

694
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,160

695
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 12: of the hostages that they were going to release. I mean,

696
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240

697
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,400

698
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 12: you would know, you know, hours beforehand. So I don't

699
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,880

700
