1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Give a duples work with us now.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: Gavin Gray are UK correspondent, Evening Gevin.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Hi the heather.

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Now, when I first heard that there was this idea

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: of maybe giving the people on the doll the fat jeb,

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: I thought this is not for real. But this is

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 2: for real, isn't it?

8
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Yes, very much so. And it's the second a thing

9
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: that the current labor government have done all about supposedly

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: getting people back to work. So in this particular instance,

11
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: they're saying obesity is costing the national Health Service in

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: the UK twenty four billion New Zealand dollars a year,

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: and it's getting worse. And that is something that is

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: obviously terrifying because diabetes is expensive to try and cure

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: and stop and and the situation seems to be getting

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: worse very rapidly. But this idea that actually obesity is

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: leading to many many people not being able to work

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: who want to work, is something that's relatively new. There

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: have been no studies suggesting, incidentally this happens. And yet

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: the company Eli Lilly, the one of the world's largest

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies, if not the biggest, is investing in the UK.

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: That was announced on Monday, and now we learn that

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: the same company will be responsible and tied up in

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: a deal along with another company producing a zepiic, a

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: well known loss weight loss drug, in combining with the

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: UK government to try and give these weight loss jobs

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: to those who were jobless, saying it will benefit the

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: economy because it will reduce the number of sick days

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: caused by obesity. Now two questions here that The first

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: is how much is this tie up costing. We're not

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: being told that, only that it came off the back

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: of this investment on Monday. But secondly, there are no

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: figures suggest that this will get people back to work,

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: just as incidentally, there are no figures when the government

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: announced it was going to try and massively reduce the

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: waiting lists on the National Health Service that that would

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: increase work output. Either the government is saying yes, that's

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: going to massively help and make us more productive as

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: a society. I strongly have this suspicion that actually the

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: percentage of people who will go back to work after

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: this fat job, as it's called, a number of people

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: who will go back to work once they've had their

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: operation on a waiting list is much smaller than the

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: government is predicting. Might well be the case.

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: Just one of those things that sounds nice to the base,

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Now, what about the smartphones? Do you reckon

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: you guys will actually get there and ban them from schools.

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Yes, they are banned in a lot of schools already

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: after guidance from the government, but now particular MP is

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: really spearheading a campaign to make it law. Now it

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: would only be in England because schools in Scotland, Wales

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: and Northern Ireland have their own legislation and owned governance

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: by the local government there. But they really want to

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: make this law and MPs could really debate these new

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: proposals early in the new year. And these sort of

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: private members bills where an individual MP puts something forward,

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: do rarely make it into law without government backing. But

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: it looks like the government is potentially going to give

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: it back into this because where this schools have taken

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: the phones off pupils at the start of the day

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: and given them back to them at the end of

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: the day. They are saying they are noticing a massively

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: increased attention span for those children. Originally many very reluctant,

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: but it's looking like a pretty good job. So they

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: want a mobile free zone at school's age. Online companies

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: can receive data consent from children with that permission should

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: be raised and another of a number of other measures

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: to strengthen the legislation and enforcement codes for those who

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: have those apps and services.

70
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope you guys do it, because it's one

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: of the best things you could possibly do for children. Now,

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: what's going on here with the bottles of wine?

73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Yes, story out that somebody and when you consider it,

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: it's so simple. Somebody's been buying very cheap bottles of

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: wine and has printed off labels that come from very

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: expensive wines and slap them on the cheap bottles of wine.

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: See how easy it is. And a gang of six people,

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: including a Russian national, believed to be the suspected ringleader,

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: have been arrested across three cities in France and Italy. Now,

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: some of the single bottles of wine were sold off

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: as quality bottles worth up to twenty eight thousand New

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Zealand dollars, so we're talking some serious, serious money being made.

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: It was said that earned at least four million New

84
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: Zealand dollars from the fraud, and a forty eight year

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: old Russian national. They're saying is the suspected ringleader. They

86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: say they're going to charge them that a large amount

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: of bottles had gone through this particular route. And of

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: course often people buy a very expensive bottle and then

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: don't open it for a number of years, by which

90
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: time very difficult to prove where you got it from.

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: He don't give it anyone any ideas. Kevin, thank you
