1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: UK correspondent in the Bradys.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: They say, Inda, hey, Heather Good speaking again?

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Okay, well this crack down on smoking. Is this going

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: to go down well?

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: So Nigel Frage says it will be the end of pubs.

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people wish it would be

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: the end of him. He just keeps chipping in and

8
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: criticizing absolutely everything Starmar's trying to do. Here, we are

9
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: in a situation now where eighty thousand people a year

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: are dying because of smoking and the related cancer is

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: caused by it. Starmer's made it clear that this is

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: the end of outdoor smoking. So where areas he's looking at?

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 2: Targeting sports ground, beer gardens and even people smoking outside hospitals,

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: which I always find utterly bizarre. If you ever go

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: to visit anyone in hospital, there will be twenty thirty

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: people outside happily puffing away, all wondering how they've ended

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: up in hospital, in the state they're in. So Starmer

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: is basically clamping down on it. The legislation is in

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: the pipeline, It is absolutely coming. There's a leaked document

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: that several tabloids have on their front pages today. How

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: will it go down? Look? I'm a non smoker. I'm

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: passionately anti smoking. I grew up with my grandfather. He

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: smoked every day of his life, and I was with

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: him in the morgue when it all ended, and that

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: is something as a child that has stayed with me

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: my entire life. So I say, the quicker the better.

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: The trouble with it is. And I don't like smoking

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: as much as you, and I think those people having

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: fags outside the hospital are ridiculous as well. But it's

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: not going to stop them, is it. It's just going

31
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: to drive them further down the road. I mean, so

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't actually stop the problem, it just moves it on.

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: I think the initial drive behind this heather is to

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: stop secondhand smoke, so that if people are out for

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: a nice lunchtime drink at a weekend in a beer

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: garden and there's someone happily puffing away beside you, or

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: if you go to a sports stadium to watch whether

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: it's rugby, cricket or soccer here, you know you don't

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: want to be sitting beside someone who's blowing smoke in

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: your face. And I think at some stage they're going

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: to have to do something about vaping. As well, because

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: it's getting to epidemic levels in London now. Literally the

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: fragrance du jour on the streets of London is strawberry cheesecake.

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: You walk along and you see all these young fellas

45
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: with beards happily puffing away on these vapes and clouds

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: of this stuff coming out behind them. We don't even

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: know what's in it.

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, very good point. Hey, what do you make

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: of this treaty with Germany.

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: I think it's excellent news and I think long term,

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: this is Britain going back into Europe. Now, they won't

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: say it, they won't in any way discuss rejoining the

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: European Union right now, but Starmer is sharp enough to

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: realize that Brexit has done untold damage to Britain's economy,

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: reputation and the movement of young people. So this was

56
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: the fifth time he's met the German Chancellor in fifty

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: one days of being Prime Minister. Five meetings in fifty

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: one days with another European leader. So he clearly gets

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: on with Olaf Schultz of Germany. He feels that there's

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: a relationship to be built. He's already getting on very

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: well with Macron of France, and I think, you know,

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: in terms of freedom of movement, yes, a lot of

63
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: young Germans will want to come to the UK. They

64
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: will want to study, live, work and learn here in

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: the same way that that opportunity is currently being denied

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: from young British people on the continent. So on the

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: face of it, it's very good news, but I think

68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: it's the first step in a very long journey towards

69
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: getting Britain back into the European scene.

70
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: Right, So the critics who see this as a move

71
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: towards basically going and dooing brixit, are they right? Do

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: you think?

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I think within a decade Brexit will be completely undone.

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: And a decade is too long to wait. We're eight

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: years into this project now. There are no benefits. I mean,

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. The Conservatives actually had a Minister for Brexit Opportunities,

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: and anyone sitting down with a piece of paper after

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: five minutes would have had a blank piece of paper

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: in front of them because there were no opportunities. There

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: were never going to be any opportunities. It was all

81
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: driven by xenophobia and jingoistic drum beating, but by Brexiteer

82
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Britz and it has cost this country eight hundred million,

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: sorry billion pounds. I struggle saying it. Eight hundred billion

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: pounds gone in eight years in the economy. I mean,

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: it is insane.

86
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get your Oasis tickets this week in gonna

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,040
