1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Kevin Gray from the UK. Good afternoon, either, Andrew. So 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: the EU agrees on more money for Ukraine. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: Yes, a big lump of money, but not as much 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: as Ukraine was hoping, and not via the sources of 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: finance that indeed many had thought they were finally going 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 2: to stand up to. So I think some will see 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 2: this deal as yeah, I suppose good for Ukraine, but 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: a bit of a damp square as to what many 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: people were demanding that the EU actually do something for 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: once instead of all the meetings. So the European Union 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 2: leaders have agreed to strike a deal giving roughly one 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five billion New Zealand dollars to Ukraine, 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 2: and it's alone, having failed to agree on using frozen 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: Russian assets. Now currently the Russian assets are some two 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: hundred billion euros, so more than double what they've just given. 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: And certainly Ukrainian President lot Of Mitzelenski said, look, you've 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: got two hundred million of Russian assets which are frozen. 18 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: You should be using these to help us, and most 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: European leader said, yeah, we should and we will. And 20 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: indeed Germany had really been pushing for this as a 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: way of spending that money. Russia had threatened court cases, 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: and of course, excuse me, the money's largely kept in Belgium. 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: Belgium was worried that they would be sued by Russia, 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: so they put up quite a few opponenting proposing ideas 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: about that. Andrew, But Ukraine's running out of cash. They say, 26 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: without the more cash, they won't be able to produce 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: so many drones, and so this extra money the European 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: Union hailing as a victory. But I think many will 29 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: see through that as a bit of a disappointment. 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, by bet, it's getting worse and worse for Ukraine 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: no matter what support they've got. Now from our very 32 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: rich file of crazy crimes out of France, we've got 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: the sentencing of a doctor who killed people using his syringe. 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: Yes, this is a truly amazing case and indeed one 35 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: of France's biggest ever medical practic medical malpractice cases, even 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: a former anesthetis has been jailed for life for intentionally 37 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 2: poisoning thirty patients, twelve of them fatally. The fifty three 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: year old has been convicted after a four month trial 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: that has absolutely shocked France. He was found to have 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: introduced chemicals like potassium chloride or even adrenaline into the 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: infusion bags of patients. His youngest victim was just four, 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: his oldest was eighty nine. His prosecutors said he was 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: doctor Death, and they said that the chemicals that he 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: added into these infusion bags triggered cardiac arrest or hemorrhaging 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: in patients, which required emergency intervention in the operating theater. Now, 46 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: what was the motive, Well, the prosecutor said, the motive 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: that he had was quite simply that he would then 48 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: be able to try and get the patient better again 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: and then be lauded with praise and be thanked. But obviously, 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 2: in some of these cases twelve cases where there were fatalities, 51 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: he was unable to intervene or it was too late 52 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: and the patient died. The prosecution said he had acted 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: in order to discredit fellow anesthetist against whom he bore 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: a grudge. A truly horrific case. And indeed that four 55 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: year old who did survive well, they actually managed to 56 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: survive two cardiac arrests, having gone in for a routine 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: tonsil surgery. 58 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about France, but they 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: produced the most incredible sociopathic massissists who do who do 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: the worst things. Hey, Gavin Gray, I don't know whether, 61 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to be talking to 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: you before Christmas.
