1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: UK correspondent in the Brady is with us this evening.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Get Aina, Hey Jack, how are you very well? Thank you?

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: So Harry is beck in London. What's this going to mean?

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Is they're going to be a family reunion of sorts?

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: Well, we simply don't know, but the newspapers reckon not.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: Charles is in Balmorrel up in Scotland and William is

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: with his family in Windsor. Now. Where Harry has stayed

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: overnight we don't know, but the hotel that he was

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: at for this charity function for very sick young children

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: is in central London. It would have taken him less

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: than half an hour with the police escort to get

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: to where William's house is. So look, it's not geography

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: or logistics that's the problem here. I think we're really

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: seeing a chasm between these two brothers. As I say,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: Charles up in Scotland, so he's not going to travel

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: that far. I think he will make a very quick

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: about turn and head back to his family in California.

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: And I find it desperately sad because the love this

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: guy has, the potential I think that is inside Harry,

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: and the good that he could have done this country

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: and the rest of the world and we're not really

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 2: seeing it. I mean, he's just a natural with young people,

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: with disadvantaged people, very sick children. Last night, He's a

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: complete natural. And I think it's such a shame for

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: the family and for the UK and the Commonwealth that

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: all of this has come to pass. Yeah.

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with you on that. I totally

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. It will be interesting to

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: see if maybe the paper is going to be proved

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: wrong on this occasion and they will meet up that

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: will wait and see. Hey, the UK has turned off

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: its last coal power plant.

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is big news actually, so they've just had

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: the last ever night shift at this coal plant outside Nottingham.

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Coal fueled the industrial revolution here, it basically built Britain

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: and overnight they have flicked the switch for the very

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: last time. There will be no more electricity produced across

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: any of the grids in the United Kingdom that's powered

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: by fossil fuels. So a huge step forward. No coincidence.

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: This is happening under Labor and Keir Starmer. He's absolutely

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: determined to make cleaner energy, launching a company called Great

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: British Energy as well and the first six months of

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: this year, Jack fifty percent five zero percent of the

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: UK's energy needs and electricity came from renewables, so huge

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: leaps have been made in recent years. Look, we're still

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: behind some European countries like France, for example, but the

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: UK is getting there and that is the end of

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: an era. No more coal power in Britain.

49
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's remarkable, really, isn't it When you think not

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: just the role of coal power, but of the role

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: of industry, and especially in parts of you know, of

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: northern England around Newcastle, it seems remarkable that this day

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: would be upon us. Well, we'll just talk to a

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: little bit about the public sentiment there. I mean, how

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: do people feel about this? So people have see it.

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: I think in coal mining communities that were decimated in

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: the eighties under Margaret Thatcher because she drove people into

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: the ground trying to break the unions, I think there

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: will be It's a bittersweet moment. I think a lot

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: of people will have memories of their dad, their granddad

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: working in coal mining communities South Wales, northeast of England, Yorkshire.

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: All that is gone. I mean it is consigned to history.

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: So we're moving on. But ultimately, you know, what we

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: need to see now is more renewable energy, cleaner energy,

65
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: cheaper energy. And when you look at the coastline of

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: the United Kingdom, you look at the wind and I've

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: been lucky enough to travel a lot in Scandinavia in

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: the last few years. You see how they do it there.

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: You know we are lagging behind hugely.

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Hi, Boris Speaker has been married for what is it now,

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the third time?

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Yes, so lovely pictures in the papers today. I was

73
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: smiling Boris Specker because the last time we saw him

74
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: in the papers he was leaving prison. How would you

75
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: believe here in Oxfordshire where I live, he served six

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: months of ascendence that was to do with financial crime

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: relating to his bankruptcy. So he looks, I mean, he

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: still looks fit and healthy and handsome. His bride is dropped,

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: a gorgeous Lilian. She's thirty three and it's third time

80
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: lucky for Boris Becker. Two of his children from his

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: first man marriage were there Portafino, Italy. Beautiful wedding pictures.

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: But you just hope he stays on the straight and

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: narrow now and that you know, all the negative headlines

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: surrounding Boris Becker. You know that he turns a leaf

85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: and these are happier days for him and his new wife.

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: So I've just look at that. Though only two, but

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: he's got four kids, right, yes.

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: So it's quite a complicated private life Boris Becker has,

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: which I won't remind our listeners to at this time

90
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: of the day. But he's been a busy man over

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: the years, Borispecker. But honestly, Jack, probably before your day.

92
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: I remember being in my grandmother's kitchen in nineteen eighty

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: five in County Wicklow watching him win Wimbledon at the

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: age of seventeen unseeded. Amazing. I mean, what a career,

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: and then eight more Grand slams. He's had an amazing career.

96
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: But good luck to him and the happy couple.

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's still pretty goodnick, isn't he he see?

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: I know he said a few ups and downs over

99
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: the years, but he sees season pretty good. Pretty good, Nick,

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: I reckon pretty good.

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: Fettal, Yeah he is. He looks good and I mean

102
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: he just needs to get himself straight now. I mean

103
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: he's had a few years from hell, but all of

104
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: his own making I mean not cooperating with the authorities

105
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: in the UK when it comes to financial crime. They

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: have geniuses who will unpick absolutely everything. I'm not quite

107
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: sure he realized that.

108
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, hey, thanks so much for your time

109
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,800
