1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: All right, it's courts to seven and Devin Gray as 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: are UK correspondent. 3 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 2: Hey Gevin, hi there? 4 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: So have they moved the body already? Pope for antist's body? 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: Would you to get that now? In about another quarter 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: of an hour. So the crowds have already begun to 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: arrive at Saint Peter Square. They are allowed in a 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: short time ago. And so the Pope's body that has 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: been laid out of his residence Casa Santa Marta, where 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: he lived for his twelve year papacy, is now to 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 2: be moved in at the top of the hour, really, 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: and that'll be taken to Saint Peter's Basilica amid high 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: ceremony and the funeral, of course we now know would 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: take place at the Vatican on Saturday. So we now 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: have three days for people to pay their respects. And 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: indeed it is said that tens of thousands, if not 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are making their way to 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: the Vatican City in order to pay their respects to 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: the pope. Of course, his death affecting one point four 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: billion baptized Roman Catholics. And now you know, while all 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: that ceremonies underway, Heather. Of course we also get the 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: debate the College of Cardinals meeting in the conclave in 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: the Sistine Chapel in order to look at their vote 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: for preferred candidates, and big questions here. Perhaps with eighty 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: percent of them appointed by Pope Francis himself, which is 26 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: very rare, perhaps electing a pope for the first time, 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: they may go for somebody who's not European. They might 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: go for an Asian or an African pope, and that 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: is a decision that will be made over the coming days. 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: Now, listen, what's the point in publishing the nationalities of criminals? 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: Well, because it's been a very contentious topic here in 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: the UK. Currently, if you are sentenced to twelve months 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: or more in prison and you are a foreign national, 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: you are then subject to automatic deportation. I say automatic 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: because there's an endless line of appeals one feel sometimes 36 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: which prevents this from happening. And the Home Secretary of 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: the government has the power to deport people receive a 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: shorter sentence if they decide that their presence in the 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: UK is not conducive to the public good. But exactly 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: how many foreign offenders are awaiting deportation with the answer 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: is nineteen thousand, and that's up from eighteen thousand when 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: the government's changed back in July, and this was a 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: pledge of the new government to get this system sorted out. 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: And so the government now saying yep, we're able to 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: publish this data for the first time about the nationalities 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: and the numbers of foreign criminals in the UK has 47 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: been welcomed by many and certainly by the previous government, 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: although one would also point the finger at them and say, well, 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: why weren't you doing this as well? It's long been 50 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 2: thought that because they aren't publishing the figures, they're trying 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: to sort of hide the truth from people to know 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: how many are in this country. That shouldn't be But 53 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: we're now going to get these figures and it is 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: expected that three nationalities for foreign criminals living in the 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: UK in the community are going to be topped by Albanians, 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Roumanians and Poles, and are understood that most common offenses 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: were for the production of drugs, theft, robbery and acts 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: of violent assault. 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: Kevin, have you had a look at this tunnel being 60 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: built in Scandinavia. 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: I have. It's pretty impressive. So it's going to run 62 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: for eighteen kilometers. It's the fermh Belt Tunnel, and it'll 63 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: be the world's longest prefabricated road and rail tunnel. But 64 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: look at the timescale on this heather. The agreement between 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: Denmark and Germany those are the countries it's connecting, was 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: signed in two thousand and eight. There was then a 67 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: huge environmental protest about it, and the legal challenge eventually 68 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: was dismissed in twenty twenty. And now some seventeen years 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: on since it was agreed, they are a sort of 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: starting work on it. They have already done, to be fair, 71 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: some bits at either end. But this idea that you're 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: going to build something using prefabricated sections is what makes 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: this very very different. So that eighteen kilometers will be 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: the world's longest prefabricated road and rail tunnel be a 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: remarkable feat of engineering, because of course you've got to 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: link up by the millimeter the exact sections of tunnel 77 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: that you're doing. Each two hundred and seventeen meter long 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: and forty two wide chunk of this thing is going 79 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 2: to be with reinforced steel casting concrete. But most underwater tunnels, 80 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: including the fifty kilometer channel tunnel connecting France and England 81 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: borrow through bedrock beneath the sea floor. Here instead, ninety 82 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: individual elements will be linked up piece pipe piece like 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: lego bricks. Quite extraordinary, but it will slash travel times 84 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: between Copenhagen in particular and the rest of Europe. 85 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Amazing what they can do. Hey, thank you for that, 86 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: Gavin appreciated.
