1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Devin Gray, UK correspondent with US. Now, hey, Gevin, hi there,

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Heather seems an unlikely guy, this Royal marine to have

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: done what he did.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, extraordinary. So a fifty three year old format raw marine,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: a father of three is to appear in court probably

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: in about we reckon another three hours time. Following the

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: Liverpool parade crash. So you'll remember, of course that Liverpool

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: Football club won the Premier League. There was a parade

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: and a car plowed into a people carrier, plowed into

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: the thousands of those who were packed into the streets

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 2: and somehow managed to circumnavigate the road closures that were

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: in place at the time. All of that part of

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: an investigation. But we do now think the fifty three

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: year old who's been convicted on numerous counts is going

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: to appear in court. He faces counts of causing and

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: attempting to cause unlawful and malicious grievous bodily harm with intent,

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: as well as one of dangerous driving and two counts

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: of unlore awful and malicious wounding with intents. So no

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: mention of anything else to do with the terrorism there

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: that was ruled out early on in this investigation, but

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: as you said, a great deal of interest into the

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: motive behind what might have led anyone to do this,

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: and we'll hear no doubt a little bit more in

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: court to go regards Paul Doyle, who lives locally.

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Kevin, how much trouble are you guys in with water shortages?

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: A lot? Apparently, Heather, So, I hadn't realized this, but

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,639
Speaker 2: you know, we've obviously got a warming climate, a drier

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: climate here in the UK. We've got all sorts of

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: water resources issues. The population is growing and data centers,

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: a lot of data centers in this country now they

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: apparently use a lot of water for cooling as well,

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: and yet no major reservoirs have been completed in England

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety two. Nine new reservoirs were announced last year,

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: but it's very easy for them to get sidetracked or

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: delayed because of local objections. That can be a vote

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: loser too, so it's sensitive for the government. And then

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: of course just slashing all the red tape, and this

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: government says, right, we are going to make the building

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: of two of these of national importance, and that severely

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: restricts what people can complain about and also gives priority

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: to getting it done. And the government say, yeah, we

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: really need to tackle these things. We do need those

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: nine built that they're not coming on stream until twenty fifty,

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: so two of the big ones we want to bring

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: on stream within the next five six, seven years and

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: they're determined to get this done. But yeah, quite a concern.

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: One minister actually saying that we could be running short

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: of drinking water in England within the decade unless these

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: new reservoirs are built.

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Tell you what, Gavin, I thought it was fascinating. The

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: French are going to ban the sagies in outdoor places.

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: We kids could be because they love the sagies, don't they.

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, of all the countries that I think around the

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: world that I've visited recently, I'm still amazed a number

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: of people in France who smoke, and there it is

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: almost like a human rights to be able to smoke.

57
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: Now the French have slowly come into line with other

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: countries by banning it in certain places. They're going a

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: step further now on the first of July, where there

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: will be a ban on smoking in all outdoor places

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: that can be frequented by children, so beaches, parks, public gardens,

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: outside schools, at bus stops and sporting menus. This is

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: something that's going to be brought in by the Health

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: and Family Minister, who said, quote, the freedom to smoke

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: must end where the freedom of children to breathe fresh

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: air begins. So this is going to be very interesting.

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: One place that's going to be exempt, though, are the

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: outdoor areas of cafes and bars, so called terrace. They

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: will be exempt from the ban, and anyone who flouts

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the band could be in line for roughly two hundred

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: and fifty New Zealand dollar five saying that regular police

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: will enforce the ban. But she was a great believer

73
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: in self regulation. Now I think the police are saying, well,

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: hang on a minute, we're pretty busy here, so that

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: might be a bonus contention. But according to some statistics,

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: seventy five thousand smokers die each year in France of

77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: tobacco related illnesses. That's thirteen percent of all deaths.

78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kevin, appreciate you telling us all about this.

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,880
