Speaker 3: Now you've got gas plants being hit, so prices are

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: being affected. We'll keep you across that this morning. When

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: does it end? That's the question on everybody's lips. Depends

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: on the weapons. I suppose we've got a guy out

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: of the US who's got the numbers on that will

12

Speaker 3: Headseth has been talking alongside the Air Force General Dan Caine.

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: Here's an update from them.

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 4: Turns out the regime who chanted death to America and

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: death to Israel was gifted death from America and death

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: from Israel. This is not a so called regime change war,

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: but the regime sure did change and the world is

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 4: better off for it.

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: Trump speaking surely will bring you what he says. Stamis

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: just spoken to the House. The Commons will bring you

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: him to us. Casualties go from three to four.

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 5: Military objectives are clear. Our mission is to protect and

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 5: defend ourselves and together with our regional partners, prevent aaran

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: from the ability to project power outside of its borders

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 5: and be ready for follow on actions as appropriate.

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: And in Europe, Night Rattel, he's on board with all this.

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely support if all for the Americans are doing, taking

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 6: out to nuclear and the ballistic capability in uralm which

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 6: is a threat to us in Europe, threat to Israel,

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 6: to the region. I think it's really clear that you're

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 6: stepping up, and that's very important.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: Now, in other news this morning, I'll take you to

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Nepal where a thirty five year old rapper turned politician,

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: where we heard that before Mamdami, he's been dominating a

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: local electoral race there. The election is March fifth. Our

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: former Katmandu mayor Belindra Shah has been playing his Ai

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: generated campaign song translates to times up, Fake Leader's game over,

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: will ring the bell on March fifth.

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition with Ryan

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: Bridge and one roof Love, Where you Live, News TALKSB.

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: News TALKSB just got eight minutes after five nine nine

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: two is the number to text this morning. Would love

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: to hear from you, and we will hear now from Starma,

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: who's just addressed the House of Comments.

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 7: The first decision was whether or not the United Kingdom

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 7: should join the US Israel offensive against Iron. We took

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 7: the decision that we should not. It is our duty,

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 7: my duty to ensure they have a lawful basis. On

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 7: Saturday we deploy it. We deployed UK pilots into the

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 7: sky in the region and they've been working there ever since.

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 7: They deserve to know that their actions are lawful.

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: See. The problem you've got for people like Starma is

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: they didn't support their original thing. Sure, but then as

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: soon as Iran starts firing rockets everywhere and heading bases

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: where your troops are based, then you've actually got to

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: get involved and do something, don't you. So he said

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: he's allowing his basis for defensive purposes at the stage,

63
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: but who knows how far that's going to go. The

64
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: other thing you've got to think about is the fact

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: You've got three hundred thousand Brits who are in countries

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: currently being targeted by Iran. One hundred thousand of them

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: are registered. You know, we have the Safe Travel website.

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: They've got a Foreign Office equivalent one hundred thousand registered,

69
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: but they reckon three hundred thousand there. So you can't

70
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: just sit idly bi can you. Trump was also criticizing

71
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: Starma for not getting involved in allowing the use of

72
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: bases earlier. Coming to the price of oil and the

73
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: price of gas, which is shot up too. So oil,

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: you look at futures for brient crue. Global energy benchmark

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: up eight percent, European natural gas prices up fifty percent

76
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 3: this morning. Cut our energy. That's the world's largest allen producer.

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: They produce about twenty percent of the world's allergy. That's

78
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: the stuff that we're going to get through Tartanaki. By

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: the way, of course, you wouldn't want to be buying

80
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: it at the moment. They produced twenty percent of the

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: world's supply. That's gone up fifty percent in Europe overnight.

82
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: Just a couple of numbers for you. Now, the shipping

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: lanes the Strait up is still basically closed that's a

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: narrow little bit on around southern border, no way around.

85
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 3: It essentially gets your oil through, gets your stuff through.

86
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: Not only a fifth of the global oil passed through there,

87
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: but also a fifth of LNG shipments which were just

88
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: spoken about, and a third of fertile So our farmers

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: will be wondering about this. And then this is the

90
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: question how long does it go on? That's really the

91
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: question that you want to answer this morning, and that

92
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: depends on how big a weapons stockpile Iran really has

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: and what their capability is to keep firing it, because

94
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: as long as they can do that, the whole thing

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: will carry on. That's the expert we're talking to before six,

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: and the guy is good. He's been running the numbers.

97
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: Apparently they can make four hundred drones a day, the Iranians.

98
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: And this is you know, people talk about boots on

99
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: the ground, as boots on the ground is relevant anymore

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: when you've got drones. Look at what's happening in Ukraine

101
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: nine two ninety two gone, twelve minutes after five? Next

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: the money with Nui, what's happening with the Captain? News?

103
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: Talk said b on.

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Your radio and online on Iheard Radio early edition with

105
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and one roof love where you live.

106
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: News Talk said b quarter past five, great to have

107
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: your company just so some words of wisdom and maybe

108
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: to calm the farm a little bit. Pipers Sandler's chief

109
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: investment strategist, a guy called Michael Crantrawitz, who was being

110
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: quoted quite widely in global media this morning, has come

111
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: out and said, hey, settle down, settle down. The market

112
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: corrections dating back to nineteen sixty four spurred by headlines,

113
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: which is what we have at the moment, rather than

114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: broader economic trends like rising interest rates, unemployment, all that

115
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: sort of stuff tend to be the shortest, so investors

116
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: don't get overly defensive. As his advice, getting bearish now

117
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: is making you a market timer, which is a very

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: dangerous place to be and a backdrop that can change

119
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: with literally one headline. Ryan Breck, the Captain of the

120
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: Man of minuis commander of von Gray, is among three

121
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: Navy officers being charged over at sinking in Samoa last year.

122
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: You remember that they all face court martial proceedings alleged

123
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: of negligently causing a ship to be lost. John Battersby

124
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: is senior fellow, Massive University Center for Defense and Security Studies, John,

125
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: Good morning, John, Have I got you?

126
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: I'm here?

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: We are John? Are they are they? What's the story here?

128
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: Are they out for blood? Or is this just process

129
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: or what?

130
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 8: I would definitely say it's it's process, and it's inevitable

131
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 8: whenever a major air set light this is lost in

132
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: peace time, of course, is going to be an inquiry

133
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 8: is huge public interest, major public a seat. Yes, there

134
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 8: has to be an inquiry that exhaustively locks at all

135
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 8: the circumstances. And as a commander of a naval peace

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 8: of your one job is to keep that above order.

137
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 8: So no, they're not out for that. This is the

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 8: accountability process that is perfectly normal in a circumstance.

139
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: Does it mean that they've looked at other factors and

140
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: determined it must have been human era?

141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: Though?

142
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 8: I think they've looked at all possible factors, and I

143
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 8: think that in the naval report that came out did

144
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 8: highlight a number of contributed factors or associated factors. So

145
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 8: now it doesn't it doesn't rule those out, But what

146
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 8: it does do is the human element of this needs

147
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 8: to be explored, and that is what this inquiry will do.

148
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: Okay, what is it negligence? What's the punishment? Well, what

149
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: could be a punishment or something like that.

150
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 8: Oh, there could be a range of punishments, and it

151
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 8: would be probably unwise to be too too speak litive

152
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 8: about that. The losing a ship in peace time, that's

153
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 8: a that's a serious matter. So I can't imagine there'll

154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 8: be a trifle.

155
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: Hey, your thoughts John on what's going on in the

156
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: Middle East? You must be interested in that.

157
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 8: Oh, when your reporter rang me last night, he said,

158
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 8: we're not going to ask you about that, so be

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 8: prepared for you.

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

161
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 8: Look, there's there's Look, there's are so much happening over

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 8: there at the moment. I would say historically, whenever the

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 8: Americans have got involved in Iran, there's been a short

164
00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 8: term tactical success and much more severe longer term actual

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 8: lys successful outcomes. The fifty three overturning of a democratic

166
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 8: elected president there led to a period of very very

167
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 8: poor government that was not in the advantages of Iranian

168
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 8: people and inevitably lead to the two and seventy nine

169
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 8: which has put the current regime in there. So look,

170
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 8: from a historical perspective, not looking terribly enthusiastically at what's

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 8: happened over there, although you know that regime is horrific.

172
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 8: So while I won't publicly celebrate the death of any

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 8: human individual, the overturning of the regime, but that is

174
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 8: going to happen. As long as it leads to a

175
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 8: better one, you could be a good outcome. But again,

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 8: we seem to be hoping a lot, and there doesn't

177
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 8: seem to be a clear objective in what the Americans

178
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 8: are doing, not a clear cut one. There's no obvious

179
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 8: successor we could go back to what was there before.

180
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent, John, Thanks very much for your

181
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: time this morning. John battersbe Massi University Center for Defense

182
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: and Security Studies, Senior Fellow. It's eighteen after five. You're

183
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: on News Talk ZBB. But all this talk for so

184
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: the Australians have designated the terror entity, the iicg over

185
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: there terror entity, and they've also expelled the Iranian ambassador

186
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: from Australia. We haven't done that here. Does that actually matter?

187
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: Fill golf on that.

188
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Next News and Views you trust to start your day.

189
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: It's early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roof Love

190
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: where you Live News talksb.

191
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: News talk ZBB. It is twenty after five, So the

192
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: PM yesterday and is post scabs signaling the IRGC. That's

193
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Could they're the really bad ones?

194
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: Could soon be officially listed as a terrorist organization here

195
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: in New Zealand.

196
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 9: Calls for New Zealand.

197
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 6: To designate the IIGC as a terrorist entity.

198
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 10: Will you do that again? That has been a process,

199
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 10: as you know, around terrorism designation that we have separately

200
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 10: from this event. But suffice to say that I think

201
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 10: we'll have a decision on that very shortly.

202
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: The Aussies have already done it. They've also expelled their

203
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: Iranian ambassador for god former Foreign affairs minister with US

204
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: and Minister of Defense. Good morning Phil, Yes, good morning.

205
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 11: Right.

206
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: Does it really matter if we do that at this point?

207
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 11: No, it looks like it's totally opportunistic to do it now.

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 11: If you're going to do it, you should have done

209
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 11: it much earlier. But you've also got to be consistent.

210
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 11: So we decide that Iran, which has an awful regime,

211
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 11: we're not going to have diplomatic relations with it, or

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 11: we're going to prescribe they're military. What about Russia? Russia

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 11: invaded Ukraine. It's killed hundreds of thousands of people. Why

214
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 11: do we treat Iran different from another oppressive regime or

215
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 11: North Korea? You need to be consistent in your foreign

216
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 11: policy and you need to follow the rule of law. Really,

217
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 11: Luxance A six and seven's over that that's obvious from

218
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 11: his performances. He knows that the action by Trump and

219
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 11: Israel was illegal, but he just can't find the words

220
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 11: to say that and say, well, we don't.

221
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: Care about the rule of international law anymore. But no

222
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: one can look starma.

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I know.

224
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: You know what, when you're enough, you've got to be careful,

225
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: you know.

226
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 9: Yeah.

227
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 10: Yeah.

228
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 11: We live in a world where we have a predictable

229
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 11: leader in the United States, the United States, the very

230
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 11: country that's set up the rule of law in the

231
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 11: United Nations with other countries, and we're too scared to

232
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 11: say anything that might offend them. Therefore, we've effectively abandoned

233
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 11: our sovereignty. We're not prepared to say what we think,

234
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 11: to speak the truth and to do the right thing.

235
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: We've been here before with the run. What do you see?

236
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: What's the endgame here? What's going to happen? Do you

237
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: reckon Well.

238
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 11: Trump has talked about it being regime change, and he's

239
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 11: encouraging people to rise up, but then he's saying he's

240
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 11: not going to put boots on the ground. And we've

241
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 11: seen that story before. So you encourage people to rise up,

242
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 11: they don't have the guns, they get slaughtered, and the

243
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 11: United States stands back and doesn't do anything because it's

244
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 11: not going to put boots on the ground. You don't

245
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 11: advise people to do something that results in them being

246
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 11: slaughtered unless you're prepared to back them up, and they're

247
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 11: not prepared to do that. It's really, you know, human

248
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 11: rights don't matter that much to Trump. When he changed

249
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 11: the leadership in Venezuela, he didn't change the regime.

250
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: Felg former Defense minister, former foreign minister. Time is twenty

251
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: three after five. Ryan brig just on that. Hig Seth

252
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: has said, this is the War Secretary new title. He

253
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: has said, we will go as far as we need

254
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: to go to advance American interests, but we're not dumb

255
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: about it. You don't have to roll two hundred thousand

256
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: people in there and stay for twenty years. So they're

257
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: not ruling out putting troops at boots on the ground.

258
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: But are they actually going to do that?

259
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 4: President Trump is sure that our enemies understand, will go

260
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: as far as we need to go to advanced American interests.

261
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: We're not dumb about it. You don't have to roll

262
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: two hundred thousand people in there and stay for twenty years.

263
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: So he's adding forces to the region. They've already got

264
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: two aircraft carriers there, hundreds of five di JITs, dozens

265
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: of refueling tankers, thousands of troops. But are they going

266
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: to put boots on the ground. Well? As I said earlier,

267
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: is it actually about that anymore? Or is it all

268
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: about the drones?

269
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: News TALKSB the early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio,

270
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: power by News TALKSB.

271
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: Five point twenty six on News TALKSB. There's been a

272
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: lot of chat lately. We'll come back to the war

273
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: stuff in a second, but there's been a lot of

274
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: chat lately about AI replacing jobs, and I get it.

275
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: There are signs that it's happening, little pockets of it

276
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: happening for certain roles, especially your more junior roles. The

277
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: threat is real, but there are some things that a

278
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: computer will never know and never be able to do

279
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: like reading somebody's emotions. Burger King in the US, this

280
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: is a story out this week is trialing AI software

281
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: to judge how courteous and friendly it's staff are. I

282
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: know it sounds weird. That is weird. They've got an

283
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: aptly named AI assistant Patty, apparently doing this task for them.

284
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 6: Now.

285
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: Patty lives in their headsets, poor things, monitoring their every word.

286
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: So if you have handing out Whoppers, it a drive through.

287
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: Patty will apparently record how many times you say welcome, please,

288
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: and thank you. Patty then delivers the Whopper crew a

289
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: daily friendliness score. Apart from sounding like peak micro managing

290
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: and a pain in the backside, Patty with respect actually

291
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: doesn't know what she orat is talking about. Can Patty

292
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: detect sarcasm? Does Patty know if you're dead in the

293
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: eyes while you're welcoming the next hungry customer? Customer service

294
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: isn't so much about what somebody says, but how they

295
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: say it. It's that glint in their eye, it's in

296
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: an affectation of their face in Japan, a polite bow

297
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: of the head. In New Zealand, too much talking or

298
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: fake friendly could be seen as rude, am I right,

299
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: We're a bit like that here. We're more of a

300
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: smile and polite hand gesture type country, aren't we. Human

301
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: interaction is intricate, it's unique. It takes even trained humans

302
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: time to properly figure out how you're really feeling. Have

303
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: more than forty facial muscles and using them in different

304
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,479
Speaker 3: ways can apparently lead us to ten thousand subtle emotional

305
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: messages that we convey to one another. Isn't that fascinating?

306
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: I went to the bank yesterday to order an f postcard.

307
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: Bank manager came over, set hello. Can't tell you most

308
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: of what she said to me, but I know that

309
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: she was lovely. Went home told my partner how lovely

310
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: this woman at the bank was. Is this a job

311
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: that AI can master? I mean rarely. Even if Paddy

312
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: had a camera on our eyeballs, a microphone and a

313
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 3: pulse checker, I don't think it could truly tell what

314
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: we're really thinking in a way that only other humans can.

315
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,280

317
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: of rain in central Australia. Some flooding there. This is

318
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: around Alice Springs. Also dairy farmer's there. They want Australia

319
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: to follow the UK. They are not happy with non

320
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: dairy products being labeled as milk. I think oat milk

321
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: and whatever else. You are the nuts, that's not milk.

322

333
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: are trading strongly negative correlation to oil. Basically, as the

334
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: price of oil goes up, and it was up eight

335
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 3: percent in the futures markets, then the stocks come down.

336
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: Look at the stocks that are coming down, No surprises.

337
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: It's your cruise lines, your Royal Caribbeans down six percent.

338
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: Carnival shares down eleven percent, your airlines taking a hit,

339
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: British ear weighs down four percent. Stocks that are going

340
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: up as we come to wear defense company stocks unsurprising there.

341
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: The big worry for us, of course, is what's happening

342
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: in the Strait of whom was which is oil, which

343
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: is gas, but is also fertilizer that we put on

344
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: our farms. Basically, it's no go at the moment. They're

345
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: bombing the hall out of anything that tries to go through,

346
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: including an oil tanker in the Gulf of Amman yesterday

347
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 3: that was hit by a drone. You've got the Iranians

348
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: now heading Saudi oil refineries, which is the Saudi's lifeblood.

349
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: So where does that go from here? We are expecting

350
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: in the next half hour or so to hear from

351
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: Donald Trump out of the White House. He's doing a

352
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: Medal of Honor ceremony there, but he is expected to

353
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 3: give remarks about what's going on in the Middle East.

354
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: They will bring you though as we get them to hand.

355
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: We'll head to Australia where there's some heavy rains in

356
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: the central area, and we will head to the US.

357
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: When does the war end? That is the question and

358
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: the answer lies in how big the stockpile of weapons is.

359
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: And we've got a guy who's been counting twenty three

360
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: to six.

361
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,200

00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: on the national stage. There you go.

382
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 13: Oh how lovely. What a way to pump the tires

383
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 13: this early on a Tuesday.

384
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: Now, don't cock this up.

385
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 13: Hey, look, I've got an update for you and you'll

386
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 13: be unsurprised about Bromley Ryan. We have council announcing that

387
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 13: there is a fresh plan to tackle the stink coming

388
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 13: from the east. It's a plan, but it is one

389
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 13: that's already raising some eyebrows and i'll explain that shortly effectively.

390
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 13: Christich City Council has been issued this abatement noticed by

391
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 13: Environment Canterbury, which demands a plan to deal with the stink.

392
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 13: We know there have been thousands of complaints in recent weeks.

393
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 13: It's been ongoing though for some years, since a fire

394
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 13: ripped through the plant in twenty twenty one. Now, in

395
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 13: order to reduce the stench from the plant, the council

396
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 13: now has a plan to pump thirty percent of part

397
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 13: actually treated wastewater into an existing ocean outfall pipe. They

398
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 13: will add chlorine in order to keep bacteria levels safe.

399
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 13: Now Pilm. Major confidently told us yesterday that they've been

400
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 13: working on this plan alongside Environment Canterbury and Mana Fenua.

401
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 13: That said, reporting this morning suggests that he can have

402
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 13: not been consulted about this plan to date. Major does

403
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 13: say that anyone worried about the ocean being filled with

404
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 13: chlorine should fear not, as the chemical will be dissipated

405
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 13: by the time.

406
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 14: It gets to sea.

407
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: All right, how's your weather?

408
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 13: Mostly cloudy, There is the odd shower around this afternoon,

409
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 13: but will become fine by evening. Southwesterlies and a higher fifteen.

410
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: Thank you, cliar Max in Wellington.

411
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 15: Morning, Max, good morning, No such praise for you, but

412
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 15: no no sicker fancy here.

413
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: We haven't planned for Andrew little for the city.

414
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 15: Yeah, the mayor has laid out his council's key commitments

415
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 15: for the term a head projects being paused. We already

416
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 15: know the snake away rollouts on Hold Golden Mile basically

417
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 15: on hold. It's trying to make the city more of

418
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 15: affordable and reader arect spending away from the luxuries. We

419
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 15: are planting a lot of trees. Actually I'm not sure

420
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 15: you'd call that luxuries, but three hundred thousand native trees

421
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 15: and plants, a weekly cap on public transport fares. Those

422
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 15: just rose here last week by about three percent. Nothing

423
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 15: specific on rates and rates rises which have gone up

424
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 15: astronomically here. That'll come in a separate plan. Apparently Andrew

425
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 15: Little also wants a law change to allow the Crown

426
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 15: to pay rates on land it owns. So we'll see

427
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 15: how far that goes. A few of the more conservative counselors,

428
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 15: like Ray Chung wants spending cut further. Before they agree.

429
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 15: We'll see how the vote pans out next Thursday.

430
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: Indeed, how's your winner?

431
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 15: Rubbish cloudy showers very strong biting southerly's as well at

432
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 15: high thirteen.

433
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: Thank you, Max Nava, good morning, good morning. So what

434
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: do you got in the city cinder for us?

435
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 14: What does this good news actually? So support being rolled out?

436
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 14: This is with the small music and comedy venues here

437
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 14: in Auckland City Center, looking to help develop the local artists.

438
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 14: So the Spark Arena Community Events Funding pilot program, now

439
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 14: we know today it's going to provide one hundred thousand dollars.

440
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 14: This is going to go for equipment such as microphone

441
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 14: package and professional DJ gear. Live Nation Managing Director, that's

442
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 14: Mark Kneebone. He says it's going to help in sure

443
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 14: the local artists can develop right here, right here, I say,

444
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 14: in Auckland. And he's saying that it's about protecting, you know,

445
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 14: places that generate local talent like Whammy and the Kasach

446
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 14: Comedy Club. And you know, he's saying, look if we

447
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 14: lose those venues and we lose the art form and

448
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 14: all of those local artists coming through like Teakson, Lord

449
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 14: and all the big names.

450
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: All right, sounds good, sounds like something that probably should

451
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: be done.

452
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: How's our weather?

453
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 6: Fine?

454
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 9: Strong?

455
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 14: Southwesterlies a little bit cooler today. Nineteen is the hi

456
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 14: though here in Auckland, brilliant.

457
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: Never think you have a great morning eighteen minutes away.

458
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: From six Bryan Bridge.

459
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 3: Just there's loads of texts on the AI. I'll get

460
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: to those in a second, But I like this one

461
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: that's coming this morning from you. Haven't our John Ryan?

462
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: Is all this tough guy talk from American politicians starting

463
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: to grate on you. Yet they all sound like they

464
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 3: want to be in an action movie. Haven't listened? This

465
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 3: is peaked headset from earlier.

466
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: Turns out the regime who chanted death to America and.

467
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: Death to Israel was gifted.

468
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: Death from America and death from Israel. This is not

469
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 4: a so called regime change war, but the regime sure

470
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 4: did change and the world is better off for it.

471
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is grating me, John, I do I hear you,

472
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: I understand you, and I agree with you. Interestingly that

473
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: you mentioned, you know, action movie heroes. Trump apparently gave

474
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: the military officials the signal to go ahead with the

475
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: operation in Iran on Friday afternoon local time. He was

476
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: a board Air Force one. He was heading to Texas.

477
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: Also on board at that time Senator Ted Cruz, another

478
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: couple of senators, and an actor by the name of

479
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: Dennis Quaid, you know Deni Quaid fly to the Phoenix,

480
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: but also, perhaps ominously, the day after tomorrow used talks.

481
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: Bibe international correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of

482
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand.

483
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: Business fourteen to six will hit to the US shortly

484
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: on the Middle East, but to Australia first torrential rain

485
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: across central Australia and there's now a state of emergency there. Leslie,

486
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeomans are correspondent, Leslie, Yes.

487
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 16: Good morning, Ryan. Yes, the torrential rain is right and

488
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 16: the state of emergency has been declared by the NT government.

489
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 16: We've had road closures, school closures, we've got people having

490
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 16: to sand bag their homes and their businesses. We've got

491
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 16: roads washed out and large large areas just covered in

492
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 16: water after all this torrential rain, and the one I

493
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 16: guess positive thing is that it's brought a lot of

494
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 16: the BirdLife and the wildlife back, and people are sort

495
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 16: of hoping too that once, once some of the roads

496
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 16: are open, that the tourists will be able to get

497
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 16: in and sort of benefit from seeing all this new

498
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 16: wildlife and BirdLife.

499
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: Now, the farmers there are wanting to follow the UK

500
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: Cuitain and bring in some labeling laws to stop those

501
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: pisky oat milks from calling themselves touch.

502
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 16: Yes, I don't know if you get confused when you

503
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 16: go to buy your milk, but some people, some people

504
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 16: seem to think that it's confusing when you're buying milk,

505
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 16: that if you buy you don't know whether you're buying

506
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 16: cow milk, goat milk, or milk that's produced by almonds

507
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 16: and oats. So the Australian dairy farmers are wanting to

508
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 16: follow in the footsteps of UK dairy farmers and also

509
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 16: EU and US farmers. Now they have. The UK Supreme

510
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 16: Court just a couple of months ago actually ruled that

511
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 16: a Swedish firm Oatly can't sell oat milk and label

512
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 16: it oat milk in the UK. They have to label

513
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 16: it as something else. So the Australian dairy farmers are

514
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 16: wanting the same labeling new labeling laws. They don't want

515
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 16: people confused when they're heading off to the supermarket to

516
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 16: buy their milk. They want them to make sure that

517
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 16: they can buy animal based milk, not nut based milk.

518
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: All right, fair enough, they'll make the distinction. And our

519
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: heads are spinning it the supermarket, don't they. Leslie Lovely

520
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: to chat is always Leslie Yeomans our Australia correspondent. It

521
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: is twelve away from six Ryan Bridge. So Trump's about

522
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: to speak. We'll bring you that, well, Mike might when

523
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: he does run targeting Saudi oil refineries. Overnight tank is

524
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: being hit trying to enter the strait of him. Was

525
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: Lebanon the latest battleground his buller israeled a trading strikes.

526
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 3: Here's Pete Higgs seth.

527
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth,

528
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 4: we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation,

529
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: and we will kill you.

530
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 3: So what's the end? Where does it end? Is the question.

531
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: Matthew Schmidt, Director of International Affairs, national security expert, and

532
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: you have in University with US Live this morning. Matthew,

533
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: Welcome to the program.

534
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: Hi Ryan, thanks to be here.

535
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: I know that you have your brief across not only

536
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: the leadership in Iran but also the weapons. So when

537
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: does the scene how does the scene?

538
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 10: In your view, Matthew, you have to think of Iran

539
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 10: right now as sort of a late stage, you know,

540
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 10: autocracy that's coming apart, and you end up.

541
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 9: With sort of three basic groups. You've got the security services,

542
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 9: the upper ranks were devastated in the first wave of

543
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 9: the attack, the IRGC, the Iola Kamemi, his son is

544
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 9: connected to the IRGC and stands as a possible successor,

545
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 9: although his own father said and Shia Islam sort of

546
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 9: pushes against the idea of hereditary succession, so there's there's

547
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 9: a bit of a problem. On the other side, you

548
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 9: have the founder's grandson, Hassan Komeni, who positions himself sort

549
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 9: of as a martyrate, who is someone that may be

550
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 9: able to come in and say, look, we can salvage

551
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 9: the Islamic Republic as an Islamic republic.

552
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: And looks like we just completely lost Matthew, which is

553
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: a real shame because he has fantastic and fascinating things

554
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: to say. He does have numbers, So the war likely

555
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: to shift to Iran's drone capabilities next, because you look,

556
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: I many people have talked about boots on the ground,

557
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: as boots on the ground actually as relevant these days.

558
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: Look at what's happening in Ukraine. He says, the stockpile

559
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: of drones there could be as high as eighty thousand,

560
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: and those drones are good. He's back with us now, Matthew,

561
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: I'll let you finish.

562
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

563
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 9: So I think it was on Hormenia's grandson. So he's

564
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 9: a martyr candidate that could sort of bridge things. And

565
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 9: then you have the question of some sort of democratic revolution, right,

566
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 9: And the name that we all know in the West

567
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 9: is Reza Palavi, the son of the late Shaw, and

568
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 9: he's got a lot of support, but he also has

569
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 9: a lot of detractors inside Iran and a lot of

570
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 9: people who are simply saying you haven't lived here, you

571
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 9: don't know society. And there are different groups. There's a

572
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 9: student group, there's labor groups in Iran, but there's no

573
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 9: one really emerging as a leader on the ground in Iran.

574
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 9: And that's the real question. So my money right now

575
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 9: is on the IRGC consolidating control for the moment. And

576
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 9: the problem with the democratic groups is is right now,

577
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 9: they're just trying to save their kids from the bombs,

578
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 9: right pick them up from school, get them to somewhere safe,

579
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 9: and nobody's really out in the streets.

580
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 3: Yet, Matthew will leave it. They appreciate your time this morning.

581
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 3: Sorry about that dodgy line. That's said doctor Matthew Schmidt,

582
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: who's National Security University of new in the United States.

583
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: What he also points out is the stockpile of drones there,

584
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 3: as I said, could be eighty thousand, and then you

585
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: look at the fact that they can quickly and at

586
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: very low costs produce about four hundred more a day.

587
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: And then Israel's you know the iron dome that they've got, well,

588
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: the iron Dome interceptions run it about a million dollars.

589
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: Your drones run it at about twenty five thousand. Dollars.

590
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: So how how many intercepts do you do for such

591
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: cheap toys that have been thrown at your country that

592
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: can be deadly? Nine nine two. The number to text

593
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: it is eight to six micers with your.

594
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: Next the first word on the News of the day

595
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: early edition with Ryan Bridge and one roote love where

596
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: you live?

597
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: News talks that'd be.

598
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: It's six to six news talks, they'd be. So Iran

599
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: was producing one point six million barrels of oil a day.

600
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: That's ninety percent of it going to China, so China

601
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: takes the lion's share of it. Does that put China

602
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: in a tight spot if they don't have access to

603
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: it because it's all sitting on the water, or can't

604
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: go anywhere. The answer is no, because China is smart

605
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: and they've been stockpiling and they have one point five

606
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: billion barrels of strategic petroleum reserves, enough to cover around

607
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: two hundred days of oil imports. So there you go,

608
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: don't worry about China. Five to six plan, Good morning,

609
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: Mike morning.

610
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 17: I was in a wheel shop yesterday and I saw

611
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 17: a machine that was made in Ukraine and it's a

612
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 17: cold welding machine. This is apparently cutting edge technology is

613
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 17: just listening to your drone thing that the Ukrainians and

614
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 17: their ingenuity must not be underestimating.

615
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: Fascinating.

616
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 17: And this cold welding thing revolutionizes welding because of course,

617
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 17: traditionally welding tends to be a bit hot. So if

618
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 17: you can do it cold, and this was just a

619
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 17: little machine, like a little box, you wouldn't look at it.

620
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 17: Twice made in Ukraine, invented in Ukraine, and you cold

621
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 17: weld now, so it revolutionizes the ability to mess with

622
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 17: cars and metal and alloy en like that.

623
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're drone factories over there. Have you seen those

624
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: on YouTube? Literally Mum and dad putting them together by hand.

625
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: They've got machines doing it now. And their ambassador was

626
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: over here not long. It's been over a couple of

627
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: times now, basically trying to sell us their drones, which

628
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: we should probably.

629
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 17: We've got the Towering Company which is doing the opposite,

630
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 17: of course and selling it to the British and they're

631
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 17: apparently very successful.

632
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: Tomorrow.

633
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 17: Oh really yeah, got nice nice nice teeth nic Australia.

634
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: You've opened the door.

635
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 17: Fantastic, You know, what do you say?

636
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: At least ye? Kay? We've just been talking about our

637
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: photo shoot tomorrow. Yes, So my argument is, why would

638
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: you have a photo shoot when we're going to look

639
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: worse than we would have looked in the previous photo shoots,

640
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: which were taken when we were all younger.

641
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 17: That's really more your issue than mine, for fairly obvious reasons.

642
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 17: But I mean, just generally, why would you, why would

643
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 17: you why would you not just AI at computer drive it.

644
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: Let's say it just save, touch you up? You know? Yeah,

645
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 3: all right, some of some of that stuff that's but

646
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: you say, probably fifty grand I reckon, what are they thinking?

647
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,320
