1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: In the bradys Our UK correspondent this evening. Hey, ind hey.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Head, they're great to speak to you again.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: How bad is the knife crime with you guys?

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: Yes, another incident and it's shocking all over the front pages. Again. Thankfully,

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: this little girl has been saved by the very quick

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: actions of a brave security guard who saw what was

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: unfolding in Leicester Square. Happened just after half eleven in

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: the morning here and an eleven year old girl. She

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: was with a thirty four year old woman who the

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: media think was her mum. They're in Leicester Square, so

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: it's been very very hot here. It's peak summer tourism

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: time and Leicester Square is very very busy. So this

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: guy has approached the eleven year old girl with a

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: knife and proceeded to attack her with the knife. Now,

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: this security guard sprinted from the shop where he was working,

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: hurled himself at the guy, kicked the blade away and

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: basically pinned them to the ground. Two other men then

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: joined in and they held this guy on the ground

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: until police officers came. Paramedics on the scene within minutes.

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: Little girl taken the hospital. They initially taught the other

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: woman had been stabbed a thirty four year old woman,

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: but it was blood from the child. Little girl is

23
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: still in hospital, her injuries not thought to be life threatening,

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: so she will live. But absolute horror on the streets

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: of this country yet again, motivation, no idea, We've no

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: idea yet. A man has now been charged with attempted

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: murder and possession of a bladed implement. He'll appear in

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: court in the next couple of hours. But you know,

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: there's not a week us past that we're not seeing

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: life crime in some town or city here. It's terrible,

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: it really is.

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty mean to life. Listen, I'm on the

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Twitter thing and the X thing. How many of the

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: government ministers of imps of status taking their.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Council So it's a handful so far. But this began

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: last night and journalists who follow these people just started

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: realizing though he's gone, and one by one they've all

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: been falling away. And it's in protest that Elon Musk.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: So you'll remember the riots we had here last week,

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: in the week before, everything that has happened in the

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: UK in the last fortnight. He's put the boot into

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: Kere Starmer. He really has, and a lot of people

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: are wondering, you know, what's his beef, what's his interest

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: in the UK? He's not reish, he has no interests here,

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: and yet Elon Musk, you know, pulling strings and really

46
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: kind of being hyper critical of Kere Starmer, who's only

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: four weeks into the job and I think most people

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: think is doing a very good job. We know, an

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: actual prosecutor in charge at a time when the criminals

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: have risen up in the last week or so, most

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: people would applaud that. So it's interesting what's happening. I

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: think we will see more government MPs leaving x or

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Twitter in the next couple of days, and long term,

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: I think there's a conversation to be had between the

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: UK government and social media platforms about just how much racist,

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: bile and misinformation was spewed out of these places in

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, which fan the flames of those right.

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: How are you feeling hot?

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Yes, So we had a record breaking day here yesterday

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: for the year. Anyway, it got up to thirty four

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: point eight celsius in Cambridge. I was in London yesterday

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: and it was absolutely baking hot. The tube journey home,

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: I was counting down the stops till I reached my car.

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Ten stops I had, and I was, oh my god.

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: There were so many people in the carriages. It was

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: packed and humid and horrible. It's not going to be

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: as hot today, but you know, we're reaching a stage

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: now where once or twice a year we are getting

69
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: these incredible temperatures. Not as bad as it was two

70
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: years ago. I hit forty celsius here two years ago,

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: thirty four point eight in Cambridge yesterday, Jay's end will.

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Bits of I can just maybe keep rehydrating, put that

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,240
