1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: UK bound rob Little morning mate, Good morning to you mate. 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: We're particularly interested, of course, in this yacht disaster. Give 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: them a New Zealander or a New Zealand born citizen 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: on the apparently. But what do you know from Urian 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: what happened here? 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: Well, it seems to have been you would know the 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 2: terminology better than me. You need u kiwis. But it 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: seems to have been moored off Porticello near Palermo, off 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: the coast of Sicily, during what was an uncommonly rare 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: storm which hit the boat as it was Moored's mast 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: was stapped in half. The yachts seem to lose all 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: balance and capsized. That's all we know at the moment, 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: and we know that there were twenty two people on 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: board that aside from the New Zealand, there were also 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: people from the US, Canada, Sri Lanka, Ireland, but primarily 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: it was Brits. And we know that there is certainly 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: one person who's died, but there are six who are missing. 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: And the one who's attracting the attention, of course, as 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 2: he would is Mike Lynch, who is sometimes referred to 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: as Britain's Bill Gates. He's a high tech entrepreneur who 21 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: has had his brushes with authority in the past, but 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: is generally regarded as a very very clever bloke and 23 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: indeed a very very successful entrepreneur. And his eighteen year 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: old daughter, Hannah is also missing as well. 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: Exactly all right, well we'll stay across listally what happened? 26 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: And funny somebody text me about the supermoon the other day, 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: yesterday in fact, and I saw the moon and at 28 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: no point did I go, my god, that's big and blue. 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: So obviously it looks different in your part of the 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: world than it does here. 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: No, it doesn't look blue. It looks a bit bigger. 32 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: It's very interesting. You know. I don't know what's happened 33 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: with the world, but we seem to be getting more 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: and more of these supermoons. I'm sure they're meant to 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: be sort of at irregular pace, but in the last 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: ten years it's red. We ob the newspaper not read 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: that there's a supermoon about to come, and that that 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: will portend all sorts of ill omens, such as the 39 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: Third World War, armageddon, and the coming of the Messiah. Mike, 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: I hope you're ready for that. This one is supposedly 41 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: exceedingly rare in that it is a blue supermoon, So 42 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: a supermoan we get three to four times a year 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: when the moon's that it's closest to Earth. But a 44 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar months, 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: which happens obviously only four years, only once every four years, 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: so this is very very rare, and it's due to 47 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: appear exactly now, Mike. So when we're finished, I'm going 48 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 2: to go outside and try to peer through the rain 49 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: which is pouring down and the clouds which are covering 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: the sky up here in the northeast of England, to 51 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: see if I can see this phenomena. There are loads 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: of other phenomena. August is a great month in the 53 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: Northern Hemisphere and particularly Britain for astronomical phenomena. We get 54 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: to play these asteroids coming down to Earth which are 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: easily seen and they just look like sort of rather 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: bad fireworks. And we also get, unusually for summer, the 57 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: Northern Lights, which were seen recently as far south as Lincolnshire. Wow. 58 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Actually, well I've got you Ron help me out here. 59 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Story I'm reading over the weekend about this is the 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: new government and the pressure must be on given what 61 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: they did with Rwanda, Labor told to urgently get a grip. 62 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: Five hundred illegal migrants arrived from the English channel in 63 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: one single day over the weekend. That surely can't continue. 64 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: It will continue, It'll continue for the next four years. 65 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: I don't think that the Labor Party has the Labor 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: government has any plans whatsoever to actually cope with this 67 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: huge influx of people, the majority of which in Flanders 68 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: don't come on votes across from Calais. The majority coming 69 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: perfectly legally, six hundred and fifty thousand of them last year, 70 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: which is a huge problem. It depresses wages, et cetera, 71 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: et cetera, causes social problems, et cetera. They don't seem 72 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: to have a plan for the vigrants. The idea before 73 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: the election was that they would was that they would 74 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 2: try to hunt down the traffickers. Well we've been trying 75 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: to do that for fifteen years. Hasn't worked. So they 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: certainly have no other plan than Ruanda and this will continue, 77 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: I promise you for the next four to five years. 78 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: Well, we'll see you on Thursday, Roder. I appreciate you 79 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: turn right a little out of the UK.
