1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Cape Talk A Worldview from London with Adam Gilchrist.

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: With my man, Adam Gilchrist. Hope you are looking forward

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: to your weekend. One of the weekend plans.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 3: Oh, for some reason, I've strapped myself up for a

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 3: load of works. I'm working tonight and working Sunday. I mean,

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: how stupid is that? So when I see you on Monday,

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: I won't be refreshed at all. You'll probably be able

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: to spot it.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: I spent all of my bitroll budgets in the first

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: two weeks of the month, so I will be spending

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: my time at home. But not just me. Around the world,

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 2: in Ireland, the fuel crisis is leading to roadblocks and protests.

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I haven't clocked any protests in South Africa

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: about the petrol or diesel prices going up so much.

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any here in the UK, and I've

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: had a thing. Most countries haven't had actual people protests,

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: and in some cases, certainly across Europe, governments have stepped

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: in to try to keep things with a lid on,

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: not always successfully. But in Ireland, as you say, in Ireland, wow,

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: we're talking blockades, blockages on roads, tractors pulling across it's

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: not just farmers who are protesting. In some cases slow

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: moving convoys that are blocking motorways and other highways and

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: smaller roads as well. Irish police have been moving in

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: trying to get rid of the blockades, as they put it,

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: and of course they're now also putting a squeeze on

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: the supply of food, fuel, water, animal supplies, which is

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: the thing compromised by the energy prices in the first place. So,

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: just to put it in perspective, petrol in Ireland is

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: now just under two euros elite roughly speaking thirty eight

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: rand elita, and diesel prices are just over two euros

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: elita roughly speaking forty rand elita, So that's a fair

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: old amount and the Irish aren't happy.

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: South Africa, maybe forget how good we have it because

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: of petrol perlita currently around the twenty three round marks

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: open cheap in South Africa. Maybe why are we not

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: seeing as many protests? Yeah, but then let's go to

37
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: a man who survived two weeks in a flooded mine

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: in Mexico.

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mexican Army divers basically had to go in. It's

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: a flooded underground tunnel or series of tunnels. Really, a

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: dam had burst near a gold mine in the Mexican

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: city of Sineloa. Twenty one of the miners managed to

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: get out, four were trapped, one dead, one still missing,

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: one found after five days. And then there's the story

45
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: of Francisco Zabata Nayera, who was stuck three hundred meters

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: below flooded tunnels all around he couldn't get out. He

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: was finally located after thirteen days. Can you imagine in

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: waste high water in the darkness. Well, he had a torch,

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: but he used it sparingly so that if and when

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: the rescuers came. He says he never lost faith during

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: his ordina. The rescuers did finally turn up and find

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: him at the sort of arm's length, and then they

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: had to try and drain some water off to get

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: him out of the tunnel. So they gave him some

55
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: tuna and energy bars and scarp it and said, look,

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: you stay here for another twenty four hours before they

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: actually finally pulled him out. That must have been the

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: hardest bit he'd been found and then kind of abandoned again.

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: But it's at least a happy ending for the unforgettably

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: named Francisco Zapatan Ehera.

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: And then Adam, what's the difference between this proud to

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: be a part of this program.

63
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, I have to say I spoke to a very

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: special person, Wayne Gretzky, who I think you know, the

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: Great One, And I spoke to your Prime Minister and

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: many other friends I have in Canada. They are so

67
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: proud of you, and you have a lot of courage.

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they'd want to do that. I'm

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: not even sure if the Great One would want to

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: do that, to be honest with you, but you have

71
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: a lot of courage doing what you're doing, a lot

72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: of bravery and a lot of a lot of genius.

73
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: But they are very very proud.

74
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Of you, and in silence yes, and then compare that to.

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: This Canadians just wanted one point of reassurance that the

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: preferences for maple syrup over nutella.

77
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: On on your pancakes in the morning.

78
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I'll take that as a.

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 2: Formal conversational AUTOMUS crew to the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark

80
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Connie has compared to Donald Trump. Apparently the White House

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: blamed it on a on a on a delay in

82
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: the connection, but I'm not buying that.

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: No, the gap was very long. In fact, the gap

84
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: wasn't really closed ever at one stage. Anyway, there were

85
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: some other bits. I suppose it was a bit more interchange,

86
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: but the opening was extraordinary. Donald Trump went on, I

87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: I think I made it about two minutes. So you're

88
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: talking to an artemist crew and a very expensive link.

89
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: And it was all about Donald Trump boasting about this

90
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: and being proud of that and crumpeting the crew. He

91
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: also at one stage sort of only grudgingly admitted that

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: one of the crew is Canadian, which I think was

93
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: a bit of a problem for him because he wanted

94
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: it to be all about America. But the thing is,

95
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: what was this mission about? And now they might welcome

96
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: back with some data, as they're saying, Mission pilot Victor

97
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: Glover says, they have a lot of photos and stories

98
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: to share. The commander of the mission, Read Wiseman, says,

99
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: the greatest gift was seeing a lunar eclipse. There were

100
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: so many moments where we go, wow, look at that,

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: this is amazing. It was a bit Katie Perry in

102
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: space at times. So was this a vital scientific expedition?

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: Was it a spin around the block to road test

104
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: a new vehicle, which is kind of fair enough you

105
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: have to road test a new vehicle. Or was it

106
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: really a great big photo opportunity for a bunch of

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: holiday snaps. I'm not convinced. It wasn't number three largely.

108
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: For me and what I understand, it's preparation for a

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: landing and the ottomis five phase on the south pole

110
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: of the Moon, deep in a crater where we won't

111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: have water molecules that would have been evaporated or bent

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: up by the sun, and all tried to do this

113
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: before a Russia and a China can do it. We

114
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: forget space exploration is important when it comes to scientific research,

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: but what human history space history has taught us. It's

116
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: all got to do with an arms rates. It's all

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: got to do with act militarization. And I think we're

118
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: back in another space rate.

119
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Still, it still felt a little bit to me like

120
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: somebody got a new car decided they would test the

121
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: journey to work and then kind of went round work

122
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: and didn't park and went home again.

123
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: But of course it's splashed down for the Artemis two crew.

124
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: I think the early hours of Saturday morning here South

125
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: Africa time.

126
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: I think you're right, so I think it might be

127
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: eighteen hours from now, more or less. And yeah, and

128
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: also that word splash down, we don't get to use

129
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: it very often. When else do you ever use splashdown

130
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: except with a space rocket in this case the orion

131
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: returning to Earth. So it'll be somewhere in the Pacific

132
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: off San Diego. Yeah, early hours of tomorrow.

133
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: Adam Gilchrist. Enjoy your work weekend and I'll chat to

134
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: you tomorrow on Monday, bright and early your time,
