1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to Gevin Gray are UK correspondent. Given good evening,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Hi there an good to have you, good to be

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: with you, I should say. Now the train crash in Spain.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: I was looking at the pictures today, a horrible looking

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: scene and more than twenty people have lost their life.

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: What's the latest with this, Well.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: The authorities have been working through the night. It's still

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: dark at this time of the year here and in Spain.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: They're working in that awful situation under lights, trying to

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: trap people who are trying to freedom those who have

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: been trapped in the wreckage as two trains collided head on.

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: Now they do warn that that death toll of twenty

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: one could rise further. Seventy three are in hospital, fifteen

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: said to the seriously injured. But as I said, not

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: everyone out of the train crash yet. It appears that

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: it was on a straight stretch of track. It had

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: been refurbished in May last year. But it looks over

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: It looks really as if a high speed train traveling

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: north from Malagar on the south coast to Madrid, the capital,

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: derailed and then crossed over onto another track and at

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: that point it then hit an oncoming train traveling down

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: from the Capitol, so really pretty gruesome scenes and I'm

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: afraid to say that people they're describing it a bit

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: like a nightmare, with lots of people continuing to be

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: trapped at that train as they're desperate to get them out.

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: Now, Stamer's the whole Donald Trump thing, the tariffs and

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the retaliation, and what's Europe going to do. Stamer's going

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: to address the public, well, the nation in the next

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: few hours, is that right?

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know if his comments are more likely

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: to be aimed at us, the voters and the British public,

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: or at his European partners, or at Donald Trump. But

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: he has already spoken to the Danish Prime Minister, the

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: president of the European Commission, and also the NATO's Secretary

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: General and then called Donald Trump. Now we don't know

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: the nature of that call, but in it Secure Starmer

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: and his colleagues are saying, we said, this is unacceptable

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: that coming to the support of one NATO colleague is

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: then punished by another NATO colleague. And what he means,

40
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: of course, is that the country's being targeted are those

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: supporting Greenland. Now, Greenland and Greenlanders do not want to

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: be American. Denmark does not want to be forced to

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: give up Greenland. It is semi autonomous as an island,

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: as a region, but it is part of the Kingdom

45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: of Denmark. So the question is now what will it mean.

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: Of course, just as world leaders gather in Switzerland for

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: the Economic Forum of Davos this week, everything up in

48
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 2: the air. Now. It is thought here in the UK

49
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: that up to fourteen billion New Zealand dollars could be

50
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: wiped off the UK economy if these tariffs come in

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: in full. That could tit the UK into recession. But

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: the EU and in particular France really threatening to unleash

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: what they're calling the Bazooka, the so called anti coercion

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: instrument and basically run that restricts a country's access to

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: public tenders, limits its trade licenses, shuts off access to

56
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: free trade market and was designed with China in mind. Boy,

57
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: how things have.

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: Changed absolutely now. The Greens in the UK want free

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: bus passes for anyone under twenty two in England. Why

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: twenty two, Well.

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: This is the age at which they think, well, this

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: is young people at studies, but also young people trying

63
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: to find work and Sadly, as we've reported before, run

64
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: lots of people in this country are not in education,

65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: employment or training. They are simply young people under the

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: age of twenty five and not doing anything. And the

67
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: Green Party believes, look, this is better for the environment,

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: perhaps fewer cars on the road if some of those

69
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: are driving cars, but also it will be much better

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: for those young people. Now that there are different parts

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: of the country have different schemes for different types of

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: transport abilities as it were, and different subsidies. But the

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Green Party coming out with this because they say it's

74
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: going to be self financing because increased use of buses

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: benefits the economy. But the government had a look at

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: this last year and said it was unaffordable without diverting

77
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: money away from current service levels. So two parties saying

78
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: two separate things, surprise, surprise, both using the similar different

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: evidence basis. But yeah, they are looking at doing this.

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: It will I think it'd be an eye catching policy

81
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: and one which incidentally does seem to be drawing them

82
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: extra support in the opinion polse we will.

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: See interesting that no such thing as a free lunch.

84
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: You've got to pay for it somehow. Yeah, Kevin, thank you,
