1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondence with us Alouinda. 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 2: Hello, Heather, how are you? 3 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm very well, thank you mate. How many UK police 4 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: forces are now investigating the Epstein files. 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: We're up to nine police forces now across the country. 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: The latest Police Scotland. A lot of them are looking 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: at airports in their jurisdiction, their geographic areas. So we've 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 2: got Stanstead Airport, Looton Airport, Edinburgh Airport. I got told 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: last week by a senior police figure that Epstein's jet 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: landed in the UK on ninety occasions in about a 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: year and a half and police are not convinced he 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: was on the jet every single time, but they are 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: convinced that young girls were. So where were those girls 14 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: going they were clearly being trafficked. Where they seeing members 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: being sent to members of the royal family? Perhaps that's 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 2: the question. So it's a very very significant investigation into 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: the Epstein files. 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: Now, So is this an investigation with a view of 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: tightening the noose around Andrew? Is that what it's about? 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely? And others whoever else was involved. So it's very interesting. 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: Surrey Police, which is a force area just south of London, 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: they are now investigating an allegation of abuse against a minor, 23 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: so that would be a girl under the age of 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: sixteen in the nineties, and they're calling on any member 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: of the public with information to come forward. Several other 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: forces have said that as well, and I think what 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: we're going to see is several prongs to this investigation 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: or investigations plural. We will see the financial reports, the 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: government reports that were allegedly forwarded by email by Andrew 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: to Epstein, and then the allegations of sexual abuse and 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: trafficking as well. So this is going to run for years. 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that, all right. Listen, what's the 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: plan for celebrating David Edinburgh is one hundred years. 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: The BBC have just announced a full special week of 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: programs in May, a new documentary series, so they're going 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: to have some material which will be the best of 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: the old stuff and everything that just blew people's minds. 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: You know, when the world was much smaller, we didn't 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: travel as much. We certainly didn't go to some of 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: the places Atmburg was going to in the sixties and seventies, 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 2: and how we brought wildlife into people's living rooms. There's 42 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: gonna be a new series about English gardens and English 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: counties and the wildlife therein and then they're gonna have 44 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: a big kind of special live broadcast event from the 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 2: Royal Albert Hall with the BBC Concert Orchestra as well. 46 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: So it's just spectacular. 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: So apparently you tried to call him once but you 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: got the wrong guy. 49 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: Yes, so day one as a reporter. This is quite 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: funny and very embarrassing to tell, but this happened word 51 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: for word. I was straight out of university and straight 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 2: into a job as a cub reporter at the Press Association, 53 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: which still is a news agency, and I was given 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: a press release about this new project down in Cornwall, 55 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: an ecological project called the Eden Project, and the news 56 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: editor said to me, oh, just ring up a ring 57 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: up a famous wildlife guy and get some quotes. So 58 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: I went back to my desk and I sat down, 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 2: and then. 60 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: I thought famous wildlife guy, famous the wildlife guy. So 61 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: he then came back and he said ring Attenborough. So 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 3: I looked on the computer system and this is before 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 3: mobile phones, and sure enough they had a landline number 64 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: for a mister Attenborough. So I rang up and I 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: said hello, sir and de Brady's my name. 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 2: I'm a new reporter. Blah blah blah, explained this amazing 67 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: ecological project down in Cornwall, and the voice came booming 68 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: back on the phone. I'll never forget it, and he goes, 69 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: this is Dickie, I'm his brother.

And then I actually met David 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: years later. I told him the story. He could not 73 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: stop laughing and he said, you became a reporter after all, 74 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: and I did. 75 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 76 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: They goes to show it.
