Christchurch Hato Hone St John ambulance workers are kicking off a day of nationwide rallies following pay negotiation breakdowns.  More than two and a half thousand officers are taking part in staggered four-hour withdrawals of labour until 4am tomorrow.  Christchurch staff will march from 8am.  Ambulance Association Division Chairman Mark Quin told Ryan Bridge that St John will be operating at 70% capacity today.  He says some areas aren't even noticing the staff withdrawals as they become accustomed to operating with so few staff.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever wondered how the roar of a crowd or a cheerleader's chant could coax your weary legs across a marathon finish line? I'm living proof of that force, powered through the London Marathon by the electrifying support from Macmillan and St John Ambulance's cheering squads. This episode is a testament to the incredible strength we find in the kindness of strangers and the shared human spirit that propels us forward. My co-host Valerio, whom I fondly call the accidental half-marathoner, chimes in with his own tale of transition from Peloton pedals to pavement pounding—sparked by a fortuitous discussion at an Indian wedding no less!Lacing up their running shoes, Valerio and I guide you through the intricate dance of discipline and resilience, both of which crisscross the paths of marathon running and entrepreneurship. While I recount the myriad of challenges faced during marathon training—from injury management to the psychological warfare on race day—Valerio reflects on his own journey of habit formation and the surprising allure (and expenses!) of running. It's a conversation that goes beyond the miles, touching on the parallels between the grueling and often solitary miles of marathon prep and the equally relentless journey of building a business from the ground up.We wrap up the episode with a deeper look at the power of discipline. Valerio shares an inspiring story about facing and overcoming the hurdles thrown our way, whether it's the financial pinch of running gear or the unexpected extra mile that tests our mental fortitude. Our dialogues weave through personal anecdotes and advice, offering a blend of laughter, encouragement, and raw insight into the transformative journey of marathon running and the relentless pursuit of one's passions. So hit play and join us on this marathon of an episode—because whether you're running a race or chasing a dream, it's the discipline that takes you across the finish line.Support the Show.Check us out and send us a message on our instagram, Tik Tok and Youtube platforms @the.needle.moverswww.theneedlemovers.xyz

This week we're dedicating the programme to a common medical emergency – one that can be deadly within minutes without the right help to hand. A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body. We'll hear from a doctor who battled for five hours to save a man 40,000ft up in the air; a student who's teaching people not to be afraid to help in an emergency and we'll hear a survivor's story of life after cardiac arrest. Globally, there are tens of thousands of cardiac arrests outside of hospital every year. Fewer than one in 10 survive and this number varies depending on where you live, as does the availability of life-saving defibrillators – our studio guest Dr Belinda Fenty tells us more. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the first few minutes after the heart stops beating can be crucial. We have a live demo from a volunteer with UK charity St John Ambulance. Join us for an action-packed programme that might just help you save a life.

More than 20 students have had a lucky escape after their journey to school this morning took a terrifying twist. The St Mary's College students were not far from school when their Coachways bus crashed on a motorway overbridge through a railing, leaving the front part of the bus teetering over the bridge. One person was taken to hospital and the students were checked over by St John Ambulance staff as the inner city was brought to a standstill. St Mary's College Principal Sarah Dwan has told parents in the weekly newsletter this afternoon that whilst she visited the scene of the accident this morning, it wasn't until she watched footage of the crash on social media she realised the severity of the situation. She says it is fortunate no students were injured.
