1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Kay Oliver are UK correspondents with us. Now, Hey k

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: hello Heather. So how bad has Stormbird been in Well,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: it's been an absolute catastrophic event for Wales particularly, and

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: the Welsh First Minister Eleanord Morgan has said the floods

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: have been absolutely devastating. There one hundred millimeters of rain

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: in places, falling so quickly at eighty percent of November's

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: annual rainfall in forty eight hours. We've had four hundred

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: flood warnings across the whole of the UK. Hundreds of

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: properties have been at risk of flooding. Three hundred properties

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: in Wales have flooded. The part of the problem there

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: is that Storm Dennis went into that area in twenty twenty.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of work going on to repair bridges,

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: roads etc. For the last four years and it seems

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: that all those repairs have also been washed away. We've

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: had four people killed, one being a dog walker, a

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: seventy five year old man out with his walking the dog.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: Another man in his eighties was killed in Wheal when

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: he literally drove into a big body of water and

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: obviously he has drowned. And these are some of the

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: horror stories that have been going on here. It was

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: described as a catastrophic weather event. Three forces came together,

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: gale force winds, snow and rain, and it seems that

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: once again it's taken people by surprise and we have

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: had extreme flooding going on here. Hey, this petition, I

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: was just talking about this earlier on calling for a

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: general election. Is this the fastest growing petition thus far? Well,

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I've been watching this one. It seems that people have

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand signatures in one hour in one instance.

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: It has been put together by a business owner, Michael Westwood,

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and he's basically saying there should be another general election

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: in this country because of the what he is calling

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: basically the failure to deliver on promises that were made

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: that didn't turn out to be anything alike what was

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: going to come in reality. So he wants another general election.

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: We've got a million of signatures so far. It does

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: seem that this is even more kind of mud slinging

37
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: at labor. We've obviously got discontent here about the winter

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: fuel allowance. You've got the farmers over the inheritance tax.

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: There are so many things that haven't gone well for labor,

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: and this gentleman has basically said, let's start again. Let's

41
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: see if we can get another general election. I doubt

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: it very much. But the former Tory leadership contender, Robert

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Jenrick has also said that no one is ever going

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: to trust labor again. And there are an awful lot

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: of people here are saying what next? What else are

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: they going to come up with? Yeah? Fair enough, Okay,

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Now what is going on with this sister dying vote?

48
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Ree ky Istama? Has he said which way he's going

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: to vote? Or no? No? Apparently he has not disclosed

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: the way he is going to vote because he doesn't

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: want to. Should we say, convinced persuade other MPs in

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: what is going to be a free vote on Friday? Now?

53
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: People are basically they've been polled in this country. Two

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: thirds of the general public are in favor of assisted dying,

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: of this bill, which would allow a terminally ill person

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: with six months or less to live to apply to

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: two doctors and a High Court judge for permission to

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: take their own life. But we've had people like the

59
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Justice Secretary Whijam and but Mamood come out and say

60
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: that this is a slippery slope and that the state

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: doesn't provide people with death, so there's a lot of

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: controversy about this. Terminally ill people obviously are saying they

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: want this bill to go ahead. One of the conversations

64
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: was with a TV presenter here, Esther Ranson, who is

65
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: terminally ill with lung cancer, who had a lot of

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: discussions with Keir Starmer and it would seem at one

67
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: point that he was going to vote in favor of this.

68
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: So we wait to see on Friday how this one

69
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: is going to play out, Heather, interesting stuff, Kay, thanks

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960
