1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: In the Brady aw UK correspondence with US now, Hey, Inda. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: Hey Heaven, great to speak to you again. 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: In the Who's drones are these that are flying over 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: the RAF bases? 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 3: So we've had several incidents now ongoing for a week, 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 3: and the big suspicion is that this is being driven 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 3: by Russia. Now there's no evidence for this, but a 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: lot of people feel that this is low level interference 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 3: and it's Russia's response to those storm shadow missiles, the 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 3: British made missiles that the UK gave Ukraine permission being 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 3: given from Joe Biden's administration for Ukraine to use storm 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 3: shadows to strike targets deep inside Russia. 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: That happened last week and out. 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: Of nowhere, we've had lots of low level, kind of 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 3: really annoying things happen. There was a security incident at 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: Gatwick Airport, there was another at Houston Station on the trains, 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: and all week long, drones have been flying in a 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: coordinated fashion over four different RAF bases and they just 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 3: happened to be the RAF bases that are used by 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: the United States Air Force as well. So you've got 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: o ref Lake and Heath and Mildenhall over in Suffolk, 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: and then you've got Fairford in Gloucestershire. We haven't been 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: able to find who's doing this. The authorities have brought 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: in sixty extra military personnel. They're using various different jamming 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: technology to try and turn the drones back on the user. 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: But every day drones are popping up at these air sites. 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: It's very very worrying. 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: Why don't they just shoot them out of the sky? 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: Very good point, very good question. I think there's too 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: many of them. 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: How many are there? 32 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: Dozens? Dozens? 33 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: And it's coordinating, Yeah, swarm of them, and it's it's 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: obviously look for two purposes. They could be filming and 35 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: recording and sending vision back to whoever the recipient or 36 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: the holder of the drone is. And also when a 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: drone is up over an airfield, they can't fly a 38 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: plane or a helicopter. 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: Well, I would have thought the obvious thing to do 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: is just open fire on them, bring them down and 41 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: see who they belong to. 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: You would imagine so, but clearly it's not that simple. 43 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, Hey, so the EV targets is the government 44 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: going to soften? What are they going to do here? 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: I think the car industry has kind of lost it's 46 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: cool with not just Keir Starmer, this was conservative policy 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: as well. The plan is to get to a position 48 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: by not long a long time ago and now you 49 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: know we're heading into twenty twenty five in a few weeks. 50 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: The plan was that we would get to a position 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: where Britain would not be selling any new combustion engines, 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 3: so no more petrol and deeseent diesel engines by twenty 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 3: thirty and fines were put in place for car manufacturers 54 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: who are not meeting a certain percentage of EV sales 55 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: each year, leading up to eighty percent of sales by 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: the year twenty thirty. So right now the percentage is 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: twenty two percent. And this week Vauxhall have come out 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: and said, look, we can't do this. We're just the 59 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: demand in Europe is not there. We're not selling enough 60 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: of the vehicles. We're shutting our plant in Luton, one 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 3: hundred jobs on the line. I think what they're going 62 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: to have to do is the Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: on behalf of Kir Starmer, is going to have to 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: sit down with the leaders of the car manufacturing industry 65 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 3: and work out because what's going. 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: To happen in January? 67 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: If Trump goes ahead with trade tariffs on China, all 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: the vehicles China would have wanted to sell in the 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: United States, they will start dumping in the European Union 70 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: at really, really cheap prices and that will completely kill 71 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: off the car industry. Here and Heather one point, what 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: has already really been the death knell from manufacturing in. 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: The UK for car makers. Brexit. This without a shadow 74 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: over doubt in that. 75 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for talking us so I appreciate it. 76 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: As always, We'll talk to you again next week.
