1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondence with US. Hello, Inda, Heather.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 2: Is he happy though? Is he happy?

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 3: Deeply unhappy? Deeply unhappy? So you wouldn't want his life

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 3: in the not at all. Now tell me about what's

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: going on with Trump and the UK again.

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: So he has now said that the UK's response to

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 2: the war in Iran has been terrible. That's the word

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: used by the American president. He's asking Keir Starmer to

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: get moving with military help, naval support in terms of

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: getting the straits of horror MUDs open. And meanwhile, everyone

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: here I think is as you guys, just watching the

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: price of petrol and diesel and fuel tick up. It's

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: only going to go one way. I made a TV

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: show yesterday, my show round Table. I had three oil

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: and energy experts on. They think this year is cooked already.

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: They say that even if the war ended ten minutes ago,

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: it would take months and months for everything to filter

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: through back into the system. And they're all predicting that

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: we're in for an extremely difficult year on the financial front.

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: So Starmar's not budging. I mean, there was various different

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: articles at the weekend about how long he takes to

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: make a decision. He's not going to change. I mean,

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 2: a man of his age is not going to change,

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: and Trump is ripping into him and a lot of

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: people here just looking at the so called special relationship.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: It appears to be in flames.

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it very much does, doesn't it. And I think

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: you're right about the thing being cooked. What is the

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: prediction for where your inflation's going?

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, the plan is and always has been, to keep

31
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: it at two percent, but we went to three percent

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: last month and I think we'll probably hit five soon.

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: So look, everything's going to get more expensive because not

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: just energy prices, but I think food as well. Even

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: the cost of fertilizer is going to go up, and

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: of course farmers need that to grow the food in

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: the first place. So it's one big vicious cycle.

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah too, right now, I see this meningitis is quite

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: bad with you guys, isn't it.

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really worrying. So it's linked to a

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: nightclub in Canterbury, just east of London. A lot of

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: universe to these students at the University of Kent. Two people,

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: two young people are dead. One is a student at

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: the University of Kent. Eleven others in hospital and a

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: small town basically with a very nasty, unprecedented outbreak of meningitis.

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: So the medical agencies have moved in. Government is there

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: as well and they're giving out precautionary antibiotics at the university.

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: But a lot of young students just packing their bags

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: early for Eastern going home.

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Now, what's going on with Ireland's leader.

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: Well, it is Saint Patrick's Day today and Mee Hall

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 2: Martin is our tea shock or Prime Minister, and he's

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: in America. So this week every year we dispatch all

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: our cabinet and ministers and our leader. The leader goes

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: to America. Everyone else goes to places where we kind

56
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: of want to do business or we want tourists from.

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: That's the easiest way of saying it. And Meehall Martin,

58
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: our tea shocker Prime Minister, will be in the Oval

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Office later on today for what is traditionally a handing

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: over of a bowl of shamrock to the American President.

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: Now this goes back centuries. There have been American presidents

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: who we have been immensely proud to be associated with,

63
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: and they're Irish roots. Like JFK. Reagan. We found Irish

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: roots for all of them. Joe Biden, Donald Trump has

65
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: a golf course in the West of Ireland and nobody.

66
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: There's no love for Trump in Ireland basically. And the

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: dilemma now is for our tea shock to be seen

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: in the Oval Office at a time when America is

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: dropping bombs on children's schools in Iran? Do we really

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: want that photo opportunity? And a lot of people in

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: Ireland are saying, make a point and don't go. But

72
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: unfortunately our economy cannot exist without the American tech companies

73
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: and farmer companies and the corporate billions they pay us.

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably an ill considered idea. Hey

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: do you just go to You just bet from Sweden

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 3: and the EBBA Museum.

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, put this on your list of things

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: to do when you next come to Europe. The ABBA

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: Museum in Stockholm. I swear I was crying tears of

80
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: happiness on the way out. It was the most moving

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: experience for beautiful people, their lives told in a museum, interactive,

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: the costumes, the music, you can get up on stage

83
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: and dance with their holograms. And as I said to

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: my wife, I said, it was my wife's birthday and

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: my wife Jasella, I said to her, look, I said,

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: it's amazing that I'm taking you to meet the woman

87
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to marry when I was ten. It

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: was glorious.

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: You just know the way to a woman's heart. You

90
