She says more people coming into the area is unhelpful and warns the station and crossing will be closed for several hours.

Waikato University is asking for millions of dollars in ratepayer subsidies for its new medical school.

It wants Hamilton City Council to waive more than $5 million in development contributions, which would help to pay for infrastructure.

It also wants the council to pitch in $250,000 a year for five years.

Did you notice it? Uh, we've got an interesting story about the number of, uh, fixed speed cameras that are being vandalized, and that might be because somebody thought it was a good idea to put them on the ground.

And we've got Al Gillespie, the Waikato Uni international law expert on whether New Zealand should join the UK, France, and Canada and, uh, sanction the West, uh, West Bank and the, and the settlements in Israel.

So it's a big old show, and it starts right after news and sport, which is next.

[upbeat music] The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, get the answers, find the facts, and give the analysis.

But I feel like the universities are really slow to move.

And interestingly, my next meeting I have after this is actually the, um, the dean of the design school at, at the University of Waikato, 'cause he wants to come and learn from businesses about what those pathways look like, and we've got two of his students.

Um, uh, so Nyla, she came on a actually unpaid internship as part of her course and as a graphic designer, and just did such a great job.

We're like, her, her manager, Paul, the head of marketing, was like, "How do we create an opportunity and create some budget for her?" So now she, she'll be there the day that this, the, the dean, um, turns up.

The university, uh, there's actually, there's a alliance come together.

It's called the Tertiary Tech Alliance, um, in, in the Waikato.

Um, and it's, uh, Wintec, and University of Waikato, Vision College, and maybe another one or two.

They've come together to look at an apprenticeship program.

And most of exercise science, nutrition guidance, and now AI health recommendations were built on a male model and just applied to everybody.

She's directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, University of Waikato, and she's a former professional cyclist.

And she's the author of Roar and her other book, Next Level.

I think she's got another one coming out this fall too.

or their representatives had any role in making a decision about.

It was a decision made by central government and the University of Waikato.

But the Waikato University is part of your community and I'm sure it brings revenue people, students studying who live in and around the city and contribute.

Also 120 doctors doing their placements extra a year in your catchment.

So in and around Waikato and some other places.

So initially it will be the councillors that will make a recommendation about all manner of things in the long-term plan, and this will be one element of it, and that will go for full consultation to the public and they will get their say at that point.

Appreciate your time, Sue.

Sue Moroney there, Hamilton councillor, talking about Waikato University's request for, I suppose it's ratepayer assistance when it comes to covering costs of the new medical school.

Mr Peter's office says trade measures different from sanctions have not traditionally been used by New Zealand to address foreign policy matters.

But University of Waikato international law expert Al Gillespie says that stance is inconsistent.

The problem with that argument is that we do use trade to influence foreign policy when it comes to matters like Russia and Ukraine.

It's justifiable to do that when you've got an international court of justice opinion behind you.
