1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: In the Brady, A UK correspondence is with us. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 2: Hello Inda, Hello Heather, I see you're at the beehive. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Yes we are. Have you ever been here? 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 2: I've been past it, yeah, about twenty years ago, and 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: yeah it's not the prettiest. But then I saw the 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: German posted early on Instagram, so that's how I know 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: where you are. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: Catching the German. I love it, hey, Indu, So tell 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: me this is I mean, this is a terrible situation. 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 3: We've got the diplomats being shot at by the Israelis yees. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: So there's genuine outrage in many European governments today over this. 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: It will be a day for Israeli ambassadors to be 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: called in and I would say given a massive dressing 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: down over this. So for anyone who hasn't seen what 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: has happened, there was a group of diplomats, government appointed 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: diplomats from France, Spain, Ireland. The Russians were there, the 17 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,639 Speaker 2: Chinese were there, some Egyptian diplomats as well. These are, 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: you know, genuine diplomats on a fact finding mission in 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: the West Bank. And what happened was someone apparently stepped 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: off a footpath and the Israeli soldier's response was to 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: fire at them live rounds. These are not plastic bullets, 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: these were live rounds. Now, the Israeli military say that 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: there will be an investigation. We know that won't go anywhere. 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: So what's happening today is we're going to see some 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: return diplomatic action from those governments. France and Spain in particular. 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: Ireland won't be calling in the Israeli ambassador because they 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: left in a huff last year. They felt Ireland was 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: an anti Semitic country apparently, which is just ridiculous. So 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: they'll be called in, they'll be given a drissit dressing down. 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: But you just wonder what goes through someone's head to 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: fire assault rifles at European diplomats. 32 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, and to explain to me what's going on 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: with this Irish reper Why was he flying to his 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: bull of flag. 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: So they're from West Belfast. They are young Iras Republicans. 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: They're a group called Kneecap. They were nominated for all 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: sorts of film awards from BAFTAs. They were in the 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: running for Oscars last year. They are rappers. It's a 39 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: trio from West Belfast. Young guys in their twenties. Lim 40 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: o'hannah is one of the lead rappers and he goes 41 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: by the stage name Macorra, which is an Irish language phrase. 42 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: It means my friend. And what's happened is they've got 43 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: extremely popular. They're pushing the Irish language. They're calling for 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: Ireland to be united again for a thirty two county republic, 45 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: and their music is really streaming very well, so they're 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: making a lot of headlines. What has happened is they've 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: really upset the establishment here and of course they've upset 48 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: Israel because of their support for the Palestinian people and 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: the people of Gaza in particular. So people have gone 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: through the internet, they've gone through videos and there is 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: an allegation that one of them flew a Hezbola flag 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: at a gig in North London in November. Now Hesbala 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: is a banned organization in the UK. Support for them 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: is a political a criminal offense, I should say so. 55 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: A letter has been received by this rapper charging him 56 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: under counter terrorism legislation. He's due at Westminster Magistrates in June. 57 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: But I would say it's possibly the best publicity they 58 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: could have ahead of a busy summer of gigs. They're 59 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: even playing Glastonbury Festival. 60 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: Here, Jayce. Yeah, okay, that is good publicity. 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: Then hey, in the now, you're going on a break. 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: But are you actually just going on gigantic run? 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: Yes, so wait for it. I'm very nervous. I'm heading 64 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: to South America for the first time in my forty 65 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: nine years on God's Earth. I'm heading to Peru. There 66 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: is a race in the Amazon starting next Sunday called 67 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: the Jungle Ultra two hundred and thirty kilometers. Me marusak, 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: sleeping bag and some food and a hammock. What could 69 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: possibly go wrong? 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: How long does it take you to run? Two hundred 71 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: and thirty ks? 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: So it's five marath on in five days, roughly. You run, 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: you camp, you sleep, you eat, you get up and 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: go again five times. Some of the fittest people on 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: Earth are heading there, and I'll be joining them. 76 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: So tell me more about this. What are you carrying 77 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: your own food? 78 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: Yes? So it's like dried so it looks like sawdust 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: and then you add hot water and it turns magically 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: into carbonara or spaghetti or. 81 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: Do you have to carry You don't have to carry 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: enough water for five days? Do you. 83 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: No, there's water stops every ten kilometers, so I think 84 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: the key, Yeah, the key to this will be staying 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: hydrated using my brain. And you know, there's some people 86 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: who are going to compete and they are very very fit, 87 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: fast people. Good luck to them. I'm going for the experience. 88 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to complete and if i can get round 89 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: and get a medal at the end, I'll be very 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: very happy.
