1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Devin Gray UK correspondens with me now, Hikevin Hi there. Yeah,

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: so we've heard from all of the members now of

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: One Direction, have we?

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: Yes. It was a joint statement that's been put out

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: by them. There was some commentary about why we hadn't

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: heard from any of them, but it was signed by

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: the remaining members of One Direction, Louis Tomlinson, Zame Malick,

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: Nile Horran and Harry's Styles about the death, of course,

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: of thirty one year old Liam Payne, the former bandmate

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: in Argentina. The statement said in time and when everyone

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: is able to, there will be more to say, but

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: it just says that they are completely devastated about the

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: passing of their band member, and earlier Liam Payne's family

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: said they were heartbroken and paid tribute to the kind,

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: funny and brave soul, saying we are supporting each other

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: the best we can as a family and asked for

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: privacy in space at this awful time. But privacy is

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: going to be difficult, I say, because the media interest

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: is absolutely massive in this. It was reported as well

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: that one crew in Argentina had managed to film the

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: body being taken away and put that on their website

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: that was then deleted from their website. So yeah, this

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: is going to be very difficult for a few days.

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: I think the Argentinian authorities, having conducted that preliminary postmodel examination,

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: will of course be conducting a full one, and investigations

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: continue in Argentina.

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the state his state of mind is

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: becoming more and more said the more you read about it, right,

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: because now you've got you've got the Daily Mail reporting

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: that he was dropped by his record label Universal just

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: days before his death.

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, and also a cease and assist letter

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: from a former girlfriend's solicitor and he was said to

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: be contacting her allegedly and that was against the green

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: they had, so she took out a season to cis letter.

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: It's being reported as well. And this idea as well,

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: that he was either semi conscious or completely unconscious when

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: he fell, I think, as you say, really points to

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: a very muddled mind, a very sad last few hours

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: for Liam Payne.

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, very tough. Now you guys have got another example

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: of somebody being jailed for quite a long time for

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: posting things on social media.

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Yes, when I read the things as well, I thought gosh,

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: that seems extraordinary. But the main thing that this woman

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: wrote was that she wanted hotels housing asylum seekers in

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: the UK to be set on fire. She's caused a

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: lot of interest Lucy Connolly because her husband is quite

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: a senior counselor within one of the councils in the Midlands,

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: the West Northamptonshire Council. It was an expletive ridden message

51
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: on x and that was on the day that those

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: three girls was after death in Southport in Northwest England.

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: The forty one year old child mind called for mass

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 2: deportation now and added if that makes me racist, so

55
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: be it. Well, Lucy Connolly has been jailed for thirty

56
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: one months nearly three years on this two and a

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: half years anyway, and the judge said that the sentence

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: for these offenses was intended to punish and deter Well, yeah,

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: I should think that that deterring factor is pretty major

60
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: on there. But as you said, pretty pretty severe sentence.

61
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: People wondering about that, But it was I think that

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: sentence about calling for hotels housing asylum seekrets to be

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: set on fire, which was considered to be very very Ragkevin.

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you about Thank you. We'll talk
