1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: We're after europe vincent Mecha Vinigard money to you. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 2: Good morning. 3 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: So the European reaction to Donald Trump's turffs. 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, like all governments around the world, the UK and 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 2: Europe is trying to figure out what to do now 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: in response, and we're taking slightly different paths. The UK 7 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: feels it's close to actually securing a trade deal with 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: the United States, and so we are still staying on 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: this sort of uncritical, calm steady path in the hope 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: that we can get that done quickly. Our rate was 11 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 2: only put at ten percent. We're much more of a 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: services based economy, we've got less of a trade deficit. 13 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 2: So Kirstarmer hoping that he can do something soon. Are 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: two primary experts for the US. Auto's those obviously are 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: at twenty five percent. Pharmaceuticals those have been given a 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: temporary reprieve. So there is hope here in London something 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: can be done, but of course there'll be knock on 18 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: effects from everywhere else around the world. Europe, though much 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: bigger manufacturer compared to the United Kingdom, they've been pretty 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: robust saying they're going to move quickly to retaliatory measures 21 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: and they're not happy with this, saying it's a major 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: blow to the world economy. 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Yes, and people concern that the war may be overly 24 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: recissionary for the whole globe. 25 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that, you know, keep hearing the adage 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 2: that no one actually wins in the trade war, and 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: ultimately the people that pay are consumers. So I think 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: there is a lot of bewilderment about what's going on. 29 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: It is a total rewiring of the global economy. And 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: some people can see, you know, Donald Trump is right 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: about wanting to re sure a lot of jobs and 32 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: get people into quality jobs, but they also feel like 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: this is going to be a massive shock to the 34 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: system after a decade. Let's be honest. Where for here 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: in the UK, we had the shock of Brexit, then 36 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: we had the pandemic, and then we've had the war 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 2: in Ukraine. People are quite fed up with these kind 38 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: of shocks, all right. 39 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Now we move to the battle between Printerry and his 40 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: charity sent to Ballet, and now we have an investigation. 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Charity Commission here in the UK is announced 42 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: the first stage and a potential investigation into the conduct 43 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: of the charity. This is after this war of words 44 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: has broken out over Center Ballei, which Prince Harry set 45 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: up around twenty years ago with Prince Seiso of Lusutu, 46 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: which was looking at health, particularly HIV and AIDS in 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: young people in southern parts of Africa. And so this 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: resignation last week, fall out between the sort of trustees 49 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: Prince Harry and Prince Seiso and the chair of the 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 2: charity has been a bit of a war of words 51 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: in the media in the last week. But now we're 52 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: going to get an efficial investigation as to what's been 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: going on in this charity. Prince Harry, for his part, 54 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: says he welcomes this. 55 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: Have the people of the UK taken sides. 56 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: Well, it's a kind of there's a lot going on 57 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: this week, but it is another sort of you know, 58 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: Harry Meghan drama, which we're sort of well used to. 59 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: I think many people though do recognize that Throughout it all, 60 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: Prince Harry has been very dedicated to his charity work, 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: particularly this charity which you know he founded himself. It 62 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: was named, you know, to do with his mother and 63 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: forgetting memories of a parent, and so he's been dedicated 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: to it. He spent a lot of time in this 65 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: part of the world across the African continent doing charity work, 66 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: so people are just sort of not quite sure what's 67 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: going on. 68 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: Okay, Vincent, I thank you so much.
