‘We’re just having a bit of an earthquake here,’ Jacinda Ardern says
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was left unrattled when an earthquake struck during a live TV interview on Monday morning.
Glancing around the room, she told Newshub host Ryan Bridge: ‘We’re just having a bit of an earthquake here Ryan, quite a decent shake here.‘But, um, if you see things moving behind me. The beehive moves a little more than most.’‘No, we’re fine Ryan, I’m not under any hanging lights and I look like I’m in a structurally sound place.’The epicentre was 18.6m northwest of Levin, a city in the country’s North Island close to Wellington, according to GeoNet.
