1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Kay Oliver, our UK correspondents with us. Hell okay, hello Heather, Right,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: so there's a Cobra meeting today, is them absolutely.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 2: We have obviously a big round of talks going on

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: in Downing Street at the time when the UK borrowing

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: costs hit their highest level since the two thousand and

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: eight financial crash. The cost of energy is the big

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: question here today, tied up with this Middle East conflict,

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: and we've got the Governor of the Bank of England

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: high level talks and they are going to have to

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: come up with plans to stop prices soaring here completely

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: out of control. We've seen four petrol price rises, diesel

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: price rises four in a week here here there, and

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: it's just literally getting quite quite scary for general households

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: who are coping with the cost of living here so high.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: On the agenda today, we're going to have people the

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: government talking about petrol, diesel, household energy, food, mortgages, how

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: they can stop the general rise that's going on here

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: and really calm some of the fears that are coming

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: forward from people as they've seen these tremendous rises as

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: well as the conflict that's going on the Middle East

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: and also over the weekend we heard about the effect

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: of perhaps is Israeli claims that long range missiles could

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: hit the capitals of Europe. So lots to talk about

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: in Downing Street today at this Cobra meeting.

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Have you guys seen any of this panic buying that

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: we've been seeing in parts of the country.

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: Well, they're trying to stop that, basically, they're saying we've

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: got enough fuel here for the next two months. But yes,

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: people are being encouraged here. We haven't seen panic buying,

30
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: not the cues that we've seen in previous years, but

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: we have seen people keeping their kind of cars topped up,

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: and I think it's a panic buying that they're keen

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: to stop before it gets out of control. But with

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: four lots of price rises in a week, I think

35
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: it gives you some idea of what's going on here.

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: How can you explain these attacks on the ambulance service.

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's happened just in the last couple of

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: hours here. It's basically being viewed by police as an

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: an anti Semitic attack. They've had four ambulances out of

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: six operated by a private Jewish company in Golders Green.

41
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Lots of very very big Jewish community there. They have

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: been attacked, They've had they've been firebomb basically oxygen cylinders

43
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: have exploded. People living in nearby communities. Evacuated Jewish community

44
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: are saying it's an attack on their obviously on a

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: private ambulance service that they run exclusively for their community.

46
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: So these these ambulances have gone up, the CCTV of

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: three suspects running away, and the Jewish community are now

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: and faith leaders extremely concerned about what's going on here.

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: They have of course been on high alert for many,

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: many years, but this is really the first time that

51
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: this has actually happened in London, and very very serious

52
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: for the Jewish community.

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine. Now do we know how Keir

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Starmer has taken the Saturday Night Live sketch.

55
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: Well, there's been a comment yet, Heather, As you can imagine,

56
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: it's the Special relationship yet again in question, if you've

57
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: seen this Saturday Night Live sketch, I mean, I really

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: it's mocking, Sir Keir Starmer. Donald Trump has reposted it.

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: It's a sketch that basically is showing our Prime Minister

60
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: too frightened to answer the phone to Donald Trump because

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: he's scared to take a call about what's going on

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: with Iran war. He's basically talking to his deputy David Lammy,

63
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: saying that what if Donald shouts at me, I'm too

64
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 2: scared to take the call. But you know, I think

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: it's it's not probably going to help the special relationship.

66
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: But they're saying that sis Sekere Starmer is perhaps he

67
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: does take a stand against Donald Stump. But Donald Trump,

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: I should say, but whether forgive me, but whether or

69
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: not this is being seen as any kind of strong

70
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: stand is of course for everyone else to debate.

71
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: You're too right, Donald Stampay, Kay, thank you very much appreciated,
