1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Devin Gray, I was going to say our good sort,

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: but also our good sort and our UK correspondence with us, Elogevin,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: I have a note saying good sorts in front of me.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Now, tell me what's going on with

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: this bomb attach that's been foiled in Paris.

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: Yes, so three people have now been detained. Now. Initially

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: a man or suspect was detained at the scene outside

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Bank of America's headquarters in Paris. It's just a couple

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: of streets along from the Champs else And according to

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: France's anti terrorism prosecutor, that suspect is now being questioned,

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: having allegedly placed a device containing five liters of liquid

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: believed to be fuel and an ignition system close to

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: the bank. Now is apparently a further suspect filming that

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: person about to light that device when they were stopped

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: by the police. The person doing the filming ran off,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: but they prosecutors say that the person who is about

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 2: to light it has been detained. And since then we've

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: learned in the last twenty four hours there have been

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: two more arrests too. Now it's interesting France's Interior Ministry

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: admitting that the attempted attack could be linked to the

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: US Israel war on Iraq with no surprise there. But

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: he said Iran is acting through proxies around Europe and

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: they're rather interestingly said that it's not just France that

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: has had these foiled attacks. There have been others in

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: the Netherlands, Britain and Norway, and is urging security services

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: to be extra vigilant and increase their presence at transport

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: hubs and other locations across the country. So those three

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: people in for questioning. It is thought that the initial

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: suspect is a minor. They can be held for ninety

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: six hours, but certainly lots here for police to investigate.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: What's going on in the UAE.

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: Well in the UAE. According to a pressure group here

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: in the UK, the number of Britons who have been

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: detained because they took photos and videos of the attacks

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: from Iran has reached seventy. So there is a very

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: what one might describe as draconian cyber crime law in

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: the United Arab Emirates which basically forbids the sharing of

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: war images. Now, of course, this is all about not

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: wanting to lose or tarnish the United Arab Emirates image

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: for being a clean and safe place, but they actually

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: have legislation that prevents you from taking a picture which

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: might undermine, not undermine the image, but that might necessarily

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: concern or worry people. And so according to this pressure

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: group here based in the UK called Detained in Dubai,

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: they reckon fifty to seventy Britons. Possibly more could have

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: been detained for having these images or sharing these images

47
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: from their phone. Now. Of course, as the bonds have

48
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: been going off beamed over to the United Arab Emirates

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: from Tehran, plenty of people have gone immediately onto social media.

50
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: In fact, there are lots of social media influencers that

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: have left the UK to go and live in the

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: United Arab Emirates, and yet here they are, some of

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: them being detained. Now the British embassy over in Dubai

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: is saying, actually we reckon the number is probably near

55
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: a dozen, maybe not even that. We're helping a number

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: of families with various things that they've got into trouble with.

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: But yet interesting, there are many more potentially out there

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: that are quite simply choosing not to speak to the

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: media in the hope this issue might go away interesting.

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: Gvin, Thank you as always appreciate your time. Kevin Gray

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,119
