1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Kay Oliver, UK correspondent with US Now, Hey Ky, hello

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: to Heather. So we've got a bunch of former Prime

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: ministers who've come out in opposition right to the assisted

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: dying legislation.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely. As we move much closer to this vote, which

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: is in two days time, the three former Conservative MPs

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: Boris Johnson, Liz Trauss and Baroness may have now added

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: their voices to all those people who are coming out

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: against this. The Labor MP Kim Ledbetter has proposed this bill,

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: the Terminally Ill Adults end of Life Bill, and that's

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: going to be heard in an open vote in the

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Commons on Friday. But it does seem that there are

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: several voices now along with the Health Secretary who has

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: said he will vote against it, and the Justice Secretary

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: has also said she'll vote against it. There's a lot

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: of debate going on here because people are saying he

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: gives people who've got six months or less to live

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: the chance to get permission to take their own lives

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: from these two doctors at a High Court judge. But

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: there's a perhaps a chance for a misinterpretation and also

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: people it's very difficult. A doctor has said it's very

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: difficult to say how long somebody actually has to live,

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: particularly in cases like cancer, where we've heard stories of

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: people who've defied the odds by up to ten twenty

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: years sometimes. So there is this ongoing debate, and I

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: think Friday is really going to be one of the

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 2: most interesting sessions in the House of Commons for many

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: a year.

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Is there any indication as to whether this is going

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: to pass or not?

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people are holding their cards close

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: to their chest, Heather. We still don't really know how

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Keir Starmer is going to vote. I think at one

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: point it looked like a lot of people, particularly the

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: English public, two thirds are in favor. But it does

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: seem that now there are some doubting voices coming through.

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: So I still think this is a fifty to fifty

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: decision and that a lot of people, as I say,

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: haven't actually said how they're going to vote.

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Now, what do you know about these drinks that are

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: linked to Colin McGregor. What's going on here?

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Well, Colin McGregor the Mixed Martial arts store. There was

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: a civil case in Dublin which had a result last

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: week where that a lady Nakita Hand had accused him

45
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: of rape and her accusation was upheld by a civil

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: jury and he's had to give her a quarter of

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: a million euros. And it now seems that retailers like

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Tesco here on one of the giants, is pulling an

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: alcohol brand called I think it's number twelve Irish whiskey

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: from sale in their stores and online because McGregor, who

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: sold his company for a room at one hundred and

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: three million pounds three years ago, his image is still

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: very much linked to this product and it's seeing as

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: something that they want to they want to pull, want

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: to get rid of it. And I thought also understand

56
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: there's a stout brand that he's linked to that's also

57
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: going off the shelves.

58
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I can kind of understand that now this Chip who's

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: just died, who was the world's oldest guy, what advice

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: has he given us for? How did he give us

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: any advice for how we can also live to the

62
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: ripe old age of one one two?

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Well? Do you know I look for that ripe old

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: advice because when I was out on my little local newspapers,

65
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: we always asked that and he didn't. But all I

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: know is that he was put into the Guinness Book

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: of Records as the world's oldest man in April twenty

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: twenty four. I think he lived a fairly calm, quiet life, Heather.

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: He was in a care home in Southport and apparently

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: he died surrounded by his loved ones and lots of music,

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: so maybe music was the key for him. Certainly played

72
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: a big part when he was passing away.

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks very much, I really appreciate it. I also

74
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: looked for that advice. Kay Oliver, UK correspondent.
