1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: The lovely Gavin. He's on the phone because for some

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: reason he could hear other people talking, and that's that's

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: not good. We want him to hear us. Gavin, are

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: you there? Can you hear me? I am in morning

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: warning to you, morning to you. Listen before we crack on, Gavin.

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Today is as young as you feel day? How old

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: do you feel? Gavin?

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: That could vary not just day upon day, but hour

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: by hour. I know.

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: So good, me too, honestly, Gavin, me too, Like I

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: have a I have a moment where where often it's

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: also funnily enough National Goof Off Day and in studio

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: and I know, and in studio with.

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Me two of my favorites. We've got Dylan on the

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: buttons and Barry in the booth. But what can tend

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: to happen is that because because they're they're so fab

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I do feel like I sort of forget that I'm

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: on air and that I've got an actual job to

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: do because I just have so much fun with them,

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and and with it being National Goof Off Day, I

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: then kind of regressed to sort of teenagehood because I'm

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: having such a good time. So as young as you

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: feel day, forty six becomes irrelevant and I start feeling

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: about sixteen again and just getting up to nonsense. So

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I need to kind of put my serious hat on

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: now and remember that I am, in fact a qualified journalist.

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: You've got a couple of degrees under a belt and

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: is here is here to do a job of a

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, and so let's crack on with that and

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: we start gosh right. I mean, this is just the

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: ongoing story of course, that we keep watching the Iran

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Israel Middle East golf scenario, and the UK government is

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: refusing to confirm that Iran has fired two ballistic missiles

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the island of Diego Garcia, which is part of the

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Chegos Islands. I don't know much about that region, the

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: Chegos Islands or the island of Diego Garcia.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: No, they are between the continent and India, okay, And

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: at the moment they are a British partly controlled overseas

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: territories it were, And on one of the Chagos Islands

40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: called Diego Garcia, there is a joint British US military

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: base and air Force base basically, and it looks like

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: but it's not being confirmed that Iran fired two missiles

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 2: at that base, but neither struck the target. However, of course,

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: the fact that they are starting to fire so far

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: away now also suggests that a much wider area could

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: be drawn into this conflict. So although we don't know

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: what happened with those ballistic missiles, this idea that there

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: are more and likely could go further is obviously very worrying.

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: So the Foreign Secretary here saying that the UK recognizes

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Iran's escalating threats to international shipping as well as threats

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: to golf golf partners, and reiterated that the government wants

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: to see a swift end to this. But we do

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: know that it was said one of the missiles reportedly

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: failed in flight and the other was intercepted by US warship,

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 2: and it's unclear when they were fired. We're not being

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: told anything about this. Indeed, what goes on on Diego

57
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: Garcia is incredibly secretive. But of course how that happens

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: is because there is nothing anywhere near it, and the

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: US and UK pretty much able to use that island

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: as they see fit, which in itself has been very controversial,

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: with some Chegossians wanting to return to the island. They

62
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: were all kicked out when this military base got built,

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: and it is part of a deal that the UK

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: is said to be formulating with Mauritius in order to

65
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: give them to that island. But many people are pointing

66
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: out it's several thousand miles from Mauritius. Nobody really that

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: have owns these islands. The UK preparing to give back

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: something which Mauritia has never had in the first place,

69
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: so it's very controversial. The facts back in the newsdow

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: over these missile attacks is quite quite an interesting development.

71
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: And then sticking with the Iran, the President of Cypress

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: warning that the UK's two military island military bases on

73
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the island are a colonial consequence and talks on their

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: status in future need to take place.

75
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is simply because couple of Air Force

76
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: baces for Britain are on Cyprus. Cypress is a long

77
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: way from Iran, and yet missiles have been fired and

78
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: have landed and destroyed parts of Cypress. They are being aimed,

79
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: of course, at the Air Force bases belonging to Britain,

80
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: and Cypress is pretty annoyed at the lack of response

81
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: from Britain that there weren't anti drone technology units there

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: in order to shoot them down, And many people have thought, well,

83
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: hang on a minute, We're nothing to do with this

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 2: in Cyprus, this Iran action. So why has they been attacked.

85
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: We've been attacked because of a British base, and actually

86
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: thinking about it, why should we have a couple of

87
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: British bases on the island that's a very strategically placed

88
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: island because it's eastern Mediterranean. So it does mean that

89
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: the UK can clut a couple of thousand miles out

90
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: of its journey if it is doing any action in

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: the Middle East, so they are seen as strategically important.

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: The two bases make up some two hundred and fifty

93
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: four square kilometers of Cypress. There are a significant source

94
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: of employment, but there have been protests on the streets

95
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: of Cypress since those missiles landed, calling for the UK

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: to do more, but also calling for the UK to

97
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 2: leave the land back and give it back to Cypress,

98
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: something which at the moment the UK government very quiet about.

99
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: And finally, our final Iran story of the morning, an

100
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: Iranian national and a Romanian woman charged after apparently trying

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: to enter a naval base there.

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: Yes, extraordinary because this naval base is home to the

103
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: UK's nuclear armed submarine gosh, so it was up at Faslane,

104
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: a naval base in Scotland, very very isolated, very well

105
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: protected and well yeah quite right too, and it's got

106
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: UK's nuclear armed submarines in town. And it's reported that

107
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: the thirty four year old man and a thirty one

108
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: year old woman were arrested. They are due to appear

109
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: before court on Monday. We don't know the nature of

110
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: the charges until they do appear. But the base is

111
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: roughly forty kilometers northwest of Glasgow, the home of the

112
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: Royal Navy's nuclear submarines, including the four Vanguard classes. They're

113
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: called ballistic missile submarines that carried the nuclear missiles. And

114
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: these arrests are quite simply staggering actually because people just

115
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: can't understand how they even got near the base. I

116
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: understanding it's as they were trying to get in. But yes,

117
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: just goes to wonder if this is all linked to

118
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: what's going on in Iran, the fact that one of

119
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: them was Iranian.

120
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Sure. We move on to other news and other parts

121
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: of Europe, and it's reported that Danish Danish soldiers flown

122
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: to Greenland at the start of the year were prepared

123
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: to blow up key airport runways over fears that the

124
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: US President Donald Trump could invade. Remember that he said

125
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: that he wanted to essentially annex it, didn't he That's right.

126
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: So this dates back to a story we covered two

127
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: or three times, didn't we at the turn of the

128
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: year and at the end of last year, with Donald

129
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: Trump saying he wants it, he needs it, he has

130
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: to have it. He said he is prepared. Somebody asked him,

131
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: would you use force? And he wouldn't rule out the

132
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: idea that one NATO member might attack another because Greenland

133
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Now it is

134
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: semi autonomous, but in terms of its foreign affairs and

135
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: things like that and defense, it relies on Denmark or

136
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: Denmark says, Look, it's up to the Greenlanders if they

137
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: want to remain part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and

138
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: at the moment the answer is yes they do. They

139
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: certainly don't want to be part of America, according to

140
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: a recent poll. Anyway, In all the build up to this,

141
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: particularly after Donald Trump took Venezuela and seized the Venezuelan

142
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: President Nicholas Budua back of the third of January. That

143
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: was when Greenland suddenly got very very scared, thinking, oh

144
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: my gosh, is he going to try and do something

145
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: similar here. Now it's reported using very very reliable sources

146
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: that the Denmark the government for Denmark said, right, if

147
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: that happens, if Donald Trump sends some kind of a

148
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: fleet to try and attack Greenland to take it over,

149
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: are actually going to fight. But we know we won't

150
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: win because of America's firepoth but we're going to blow

151
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: up the airport so that they basically can't land further flights.

152
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 2: And also apparently they were supplying taking over blood supplies

153
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: ready to treat the wounded in the event of fighting.

154
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this is extraordinary, one Native member on another.

155
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: But that's what Denmark was prepared to do to protect Greenland.

156
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: And as I said, although they never thought they were

157
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: going to overturn the military might of sub operation from

158
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: the US, they did think, no, we're going to fight

159
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: it because we can't just all stand around while America

160
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: takes what it wants. So quite an extraordinary story, isn't it?

161
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: Just all right? And next up it seems that the

162
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: advice that was given by the UK government during COVID

163
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: may not in fact have well may not have been

164
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the best advice. That the advice for people to stay

165
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: at home. The UK's COVID inquiry has heard that it

166
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: actually may have caused harm by deterring those with other

167
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: health issues from seeking help.

168
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I do think there's elements of this inquiry that

169
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: you think, really, you spent months and that's what you

170
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: come up with. I mean I could have told you

171
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: that over a cup of coffee sort of thing, and

172
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: it is costing tens of millions of South African round

173
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: the inquiry into how the pandemic was handled here in

174
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: the UK, but at the third report of ten the

175
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: third of ten reports has concluded that the National Health

176
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: Service only just coped. Said that staff were working in

177
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: war zones. These are their words, not mine, and patients

178
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: weren't getting the care they needed because ambulances struggled to

179
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: cope with the surge in the pandemic. Now on other factors,

180
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: they said that when people were told to stay at home,

181
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: lots of people did. But what that meant is when

182
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: somebody fell ill, not necessarily with coronavirus. They then did

183
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: not go and seek help, and of course that has

184
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: had a big effect on our cancer recovery rates here

185
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: in the UK, and other operations that as well could

186
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: have saved lives might have been able to take place.

187
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: So a picture painted that the NHS wasn't ready was

188
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: on the break could collapse. I don't think it's any surprise.

189
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: Who knew what we were doing during the pandemic. Let's

190
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: hope that if it happens again, we've learned some lessons.

191
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: But frankly, if it's a slightly different strain or a

192
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: different disease, then I said, we're all going to be

193
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: rather scrabbling around again.

194
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Next up, people looking to or looking in their wallets,

195
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: or rather looking at their bank accounts on the first

196
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: of the month are not going to be looking that

197
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: happily because pay in the UK has grown at its

198
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: slowest rate in more than half a decade.

199
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 2: Yes, it's still above inflation here, but gosh is it?

200
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: Yes?

201
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: Yes, so inflation fell to three percent in January and

202
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: the annual rate now of pay excluding bonuses fell from

203
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: four point one percent down to three point eight so

204
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: it is still in theory we should be feeling better,

205
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: but we're not feeling better because of course what's going

206
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: to happen is inflation is now going to spike, with

207
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: petrol prices on the rise, fuel prices on the rise,

208
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: generally energy home heating will of course massively spike. Going

209
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: on a flight is going to rise significantly, or because

210
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: of the conflict in Iran, so that three percent inflation

211
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: figure is going to spike and rise and will probably

212
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: go over that pay rise figure, and which case, of

213
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: course we'll all be getting poorer again. But this is

214
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: very interesting. Over the annual earnings growth showed to the

215
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: public sector, in other words, those that work for local councils,

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: civil servants, the government that rose almost six percent for

217
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: that year, whereas for the private sector just three point

218
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 2: three percent. Is quite unusual because normally it's slightly the

219
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: other way around, with people working as civil servants getting

220
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: better pensions, more holiday et cetera. And many are saying

221
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: this government is giving out too much money and not

222
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 2: getting enough in King.

223
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Charles has inaugurated a new footpath which stretches around the

224
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: entire coast of England.

225
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: It is quite remarkable, So that's the key word England,

226
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: not around.

227
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: The entire Yui are okay?

228
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: Okay?

229
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: So the footpath nevertheless over four thousand kilometers. Yes, Now,

230
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: what they've done is it's quite clever. They much of

231
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: it existed, but it wasn't linked together, so there were

232
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 2: sections where you would have to go back inland and

233
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: go along a road for a bit and then come

234
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: back up and then you could go on a bit

235
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: more of it. Well, they've joined the gaps together. It

236
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: is quite an amazing thing, with something like one thousand

237
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: and six hundred kilometers of new paths have been created,

238
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: other sections upgraded, some paths resurfaced, some of the styles

239
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: that the barriers removed from the footpath, bridges installed, board

240
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: walks built. It has been a massive thing. The project

241
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: was initiated eighteen years ago, so we're talking seven prime

242
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: ministers to get to this stage, but only one monarch.

243
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that the cattually called King Charles. The

244
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: third England Coast Path was opened by King Charles. And

245
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: what was so funny was he did a couple of

246
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: kilometers walking. I have to say, look pretty well, bearing

247
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: in mind his cancer diagnosis, walking along the coast, and

248
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: nobody knew that the walkers go past thinking, isn't that

249
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: a king? Sure?

250
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: My goodness me. I tell you what, some of my

251
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: late father was a huge outdoorsy person and he loved

252
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: to walk, and an awful lot of my child was

253
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: spent on the various footpaths around around England. He would

254
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: have absolutely loved that, you know, he would really have

255
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: loved that. Okay, good yeah, get your get your walking

256
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: boots on. And then finally, a small Embetti Fansee I

257
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: don't know what town is in French. A small French

258
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: town has shot to internet fame.

259
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: Why well, it's because of the names of the candidates.

260
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: So the current mayor is called Hitler, but with a

261
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: double T schal Hitler. The population of the town is

262
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: only two thousand, eight hundred, but his main opponent is

263
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: called Antoine Zelensky. Oh so, in other words, rather like

264
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian president, which of course has led people to

265
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: do all sorts of memes and social media fun with

266
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: pictures of cartoons of Zelensky and Hitler side by side

267
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: battling it out for the honor of becoming the mayor

268
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: in the town. Now, the election is today and the

269
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: mayor they so called Charles Hitler says you know, look,

270
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm used to people poking fun at my name. Some

271
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: people have drawn electure mustaches on my election posters, he said,

272
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: I've never minded. It's never been a big deal. It's

273
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: the occasional joke and it's nothing nasty. However, he said,

274
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: this time with the idea that I'm taking on Zelensky,

275
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: he said, they've had reporters internationally phoning in wanting pictures,

276
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: taking various shots of the town. He said it is

277
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: out of control, saying my wife is now in tears

278
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: over all the attention that's come their way. So yes,

279
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: they head to the polls today. Zelenski versus Hitler. I

280
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: think most people might be swayed by the policies rather

281
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: than the names. But if you had the names on

282
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: a bit of paper, that surely is one of the

283
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: most bizarre coincidences we've heard of, isn't that funny?

284
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: Oh well, gosh, I remember I watched documentary ones about

285
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: how they had basically kind of weeded out the name

286
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: Hitler and they were tracing any any sort of remaining

287
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: the Hitler's just you know, for obvious reasons as to why,

288
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: and essentially, yeah, not not around, not used as a anyone,

289
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: but as you say, this is Hitler with a double tea.

290
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Although I'll be honest with you, wouldn't you change that anyway?

291
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it must be. I mean, can imagine at school

292
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: as well and gosh

293
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: All right gg thanks very much indeed,
