1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Brian Bridge over in the UK, the Brits have wanted

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty to stop selling petrol and diesel cars.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: They bend it in fact, but Kis Starmer has done

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: a speech it could all change. Gavin Gray Are UK correspondent,

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Gavin good evening.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Hither Ryan, Yeah, it's going to be an interesting one.

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Where do you to hear from him? Shortly? This is

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: all about trying to help the car manufacturing industry here

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: in the UK survive those tariffs that America imposed. America

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: are a very very big market for the UK car industry.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: So what we believe Kis Starmer will do is while

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: keeping that general twenty thirty ban on the sale of

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: cars powdered by petrol and diesel, keeping that in place,

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: these targets for every year until twenty thirty saying how

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: many electric vehicles must be sold by each manufacturer before

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: they get fined, those are likely to be relaxed. So

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: currently we have a system where each manufacturer is told

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: you have to sell this many electric vehicles. If you

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: don't sell this many then you basically get fine, and

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: that's led to some of them having to almost stop

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: the sales of petrol and diesel cars that they might

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: have sold in order to push and promote the electric vehicles.

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: We believe sekire Starm is going to change that. We

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: also think that he's going to look at trying to

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: put safeguards on the steel industry here. And the big

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: theory is that we will become, along with other nations,

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: are dumping ground for steel, cheaper steel, particularly from China

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: that will no longer get into America. So we're expecting

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: the announcement of some kind of safeguard for there, and

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: we also think they're going to bring forward investment announcements

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: now in order to try and get the country growing

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: using the steel that we've got and trying to keep

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: people in work. We also are waiting to hear We

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: understand that the apparently the government believes a deal, a

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: trade deal with India is now not far away, with

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: the pressure particularly on India as well hit by a

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: twenty six percent tariff by the US, and we believe

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: that deal could well be announced over the coming weeks,

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: but pressure to get that deal done and get it

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: done quickly.

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: All right, what about these two UK in peace, what's

42
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: the story with them? The trying it into the occupied

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: wisp Bend going through Israel and denied intry to Israel.

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So Abtizam Mohammad and yuang Yan both

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: were on a trip to the occupied West Bank. They

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: said they wanted a witness first hand the situation and

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: were stopped at the airport. Now Israel said that, you know,

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: we believe these two were effectively going to create speech

49
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: that would have caused a great deal of concern and

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: might have been of significant security concerns to their country.

51
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: And both have made speeches in parliament criticizing the situation

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: in Gaza and heavily criticizing Israel. But the idea that

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: two existing members of parliament are deemed good enough for

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: parliament but not deemed good enough to enter Israel has caused,

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: as you can imagine, quite a bit of shock. They

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: said they were in shock, and the Foreign Secretary says

57
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: that it's been really poor judgment by the Israelis to

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: do this and very concerning. But interestingly, the leader of

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: the Conservative parties have said, well, Israel's got every right

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: to defend there and control their own borders. And the

61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: fact that we've got a couple of labor MPs who

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: can't even get into a certain country is really really worrying.

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: Now people have roundly condemned her, saying she should be

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: supporting free speech, she should be supporting this pair either way,

65
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: a bit of a muddle run.

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: You've got a new tunnel under the River Thames too,

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: haven't you.

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, expensive though, so these new tunnels pretty few and

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: far between. This one called the Blackwall Tunnel set in

70
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: East London meant to really ease congestion over the very

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: very significantly busy roads that affect it and the Blackwall

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: Tunnel nearby. And so this new one called the Silvertown

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: Tunnel is going to link East London to Southeast London.

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: It comes though, at a cost of almost five billion

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars. How are we going to pay for that? Well,

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: it's done by private finance, meaning everyone that uses it

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: is going to have to pay a toll. Interestingly, the

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: toll varies according to the time of day and the

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: day you want to use it. They've decided this new

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: sort of system of pricing is the way forward, called

81
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: dynamic pricing here, and they say it will significantly reduce

82
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: journey times, taking some twenty minutes off that journey through

83
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: the old tunnel. But environmental it's not happy, saying it's

84
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: encouraging people to use the car and not bicycle or

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: any other mode of transport.

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: All right, Gevin, thanks for that. To appreciate your time.
