2024/11/06

It’s been a tense night in the United States as the vote were counted. While the House is still up for grabs, CNN projects Republicans will win control of the Senate and Trump will win the popular vote. Political analyst Sean Trende told Ryan Bridge the result has exposed some real pressure points for the Democrats. He says that Trump won one in four black male votes, and black voters have been a backbone of the Democratic coalition since the 1930s. Trende says that to see Trump make those advances

The US is bracing for protests, regardless of who wins today's election. The race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is expected to go down to the wire, with the final result being determined by key battleground states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Washington DC is installing reinforced fencing in the Capitol, over fears of protests if Harris wins.

Trying to control kid criminals – you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. This week, a document from children's minister Karen Chhour on the subject was leaked. It says giving military-style boot camp providers the power to use force in extreme circumstances would be controversial. Well, of course it would. But what are you meant to do? Let the kids punch each other and not intervene? Let them run on the road, let them escape and just wave goodbye as they leave? Oh, he's nearly killing the

Claims of voter fraud are already hanging over the US election as millions of Americans head to the polls. Almost a third of eligible voters have cast an early ballot. Experts say the result could go either way, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris still neck-and-neck in the key battleground states. FSN Correspondent Nick Harper told Ryan Bridge there are fears Trump will sow confusion and misinformation by calling his win prematurely. He says if Trump were to lose, it's likely he will claim the

Principals are welcoming a new method for bringing students’ failing maths back up to standard. The Government's announced a trial programme over the first two terms of next year, for about 2000 Year 7 and 8 students behind in maths learning. It will use small-group tutoring and supervised online tuition for 30 minutes, up to four times a week. Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Kyle Brewerton says the hybrid system sounds good. He says the approach has some merit, because it

Homeownership continues to be the dream for most Kiwis, but a growing number of us think we'll never achieve it. Kiwibank's latest State of Home Ownership Report has found 85% of people want to own a home, with most believing it's the key to getting ahead. But over two-thirds of non-homeowners doubt they'll ever own a home, with millennials particularly pessimistic.

Ryan Bridge: Youth Court is a good idea – when it works

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2024/11/04

The Youth Court is a good idea because it tries to steer kids away from adult prisons and a life of crime. But when it fails, it fails spectacularly, and we all pay the price for leniency. Take teenager Dontae Eden. When he was 16, he bashed a 78-year-old man nearly to death while the old guy slept in his bed. A Youth Court judge gave him a warning and told him to keep out of trouble. If that's not lenient, I don't know what is. Did he stay out of trouble? No. Stuff reports that three months later

Of course, Donald Trump is going to win the US election, of course he is. I've been saying that since July on this programme, not that anyone will listen to me. He would have also whipped Biden like a bottle of cream. Too many Americans are hurting with the cost of living, and that's all the motivation you need really to get out and vote, isn't it? Republicans are doing it early in record numbers, which they don't normally do, including in the swing states. In Georgia, half of the 8 million eligible

A new report shows the eye-watering social, economic and fiscal costs of the current approach to dental healthcare in New Zealand. Current dental policy settings cost $2.5 billion in lost productivity. Further costs are incurred through sick days, inpatient care, and cardiovascular disease, prompting calls for universal dental care. ActionStation campaigner Max Harris tells Ryan Bridge lost productivity includes many not attending job interviews because of shame and stigma. LISTEN ABOVESee
