It is stunning. 19 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: Good place to go. Now listen, how big was that 20 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: phone smuggling gang? 21 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, this an extraordinary story in the papers this morning. 22 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: So back in London we know mobile phone theft has 23 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: been off the charts for about two years. Metropolitan Police 24 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: have made a series of arrests. They haven't put out 25 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: the names of who's been rested. There will be trials 26 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: in due course, but they're letting everyone know that this 27 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: one gang that they've now dismantled was responsible for about 28 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: forty percent forty percent of all mobile phone theft and 29 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: crime in the Capitol last year. In the past twelve months, 30 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: police estimate this gang had stolen, packaged, and shipped forty 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: thousand most the iPhones to China, a multi million dollar industry. 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: So the thieves on motorbikes wearing the ballet lavas and 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: these souped up scooters, they were getting about six hundred 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: dollars per device stolen. Police tracked down two guys who 35 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: they believe were the ring leaders of the gangs. They 36 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: put some surveillance on them and they observed them buying 37 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: two kilometers of tinfoil. So your phone gets stolen, they're 38 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: wrapped in tinfoil so it can't be traced, and then 39 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: they're packaging it up and then it's put on a 40 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: plane and it's off to China. So police very very confident. Look, 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: my concern is that this is like a many headed Medusa. 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: These two guys that have been arrested, there will be 43 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: more snakes will pop up, but forty thousand devices they 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: had shipped to China in the past twelve months. 45 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: It's quite something, isn't it. 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: Now? 47 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: Jilly Cooper has obviously died. Was Camilla a friend of his. 48 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: Huge friend, lifelong friend and a big fan, and they'd 49 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: been together recently at a very special Queen's Reading Room festival. 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: It was called, I think, just huge shock because well 51 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: she wasn't ill. We know she died in a fall. 52 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: But she'd had quite a resurgence in the last twelve 53 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: to eighteen months because one of her books was made 54 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: into a TV series called Rivals. And I have to say, 55 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: hand on heart, if I swear if I was in prison, 56 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: in solitary confinement and someone said there's a Jilly Cooper novel, 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I'm just being 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: honest here. Rivals came on the TV and I read 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: a couple of the reviews and everyone's saying, you have 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: to watch this. It was glorious, it was fun, it 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: was brilliant, and I got to the stage when I 62 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: was running out of episodes to watch, I thought, am 63 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: I the kind of man who's going to end up 64 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: buying a Jilly Cooper novel? I thought it was brilliant, 65 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: So good on her. I think she sold eleven million 66 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: novels in the UK in her lifetime. Great character and 67 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: I love the tribute from Camilla which ended with the 68 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: words she said, may her hereafter be full of impossibly 69 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: handsome men and devoted dogs. What a nice line. 70 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: That is a lovely line. Now, yeah, this is really 71 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: said about Lewis Moody, isn't it. 72 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, Morton, you're on a diagnosis yesterday, out of the blue, 73 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: and he's known about it for a couple of weeks. 74 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: He let everyone know yesterday. I mean England rugby legend 75 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: and from everyone I speak to in the rugby journalism world, 76 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: one of the good guys.
