1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: He had a grave from the UK goot morning to

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: hear hither Andrew great use. Pope Francis as out of

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: hospital but needs two months off.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: Yes, the eighty eight year old has been discharged. He

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: was pictured and offered a blessing the window or on

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: a very small sort of balcony at the Gamelli hospital

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: in Rome where he's being treated. He was admitted there

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: on the fourteenth of a long stage, some five weeks

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: there and during that time we now know he had

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: what's been described as two very critical episodes where according

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: to doctors, his life was in danger, though we now

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: understand he was never actually intubated that's the tube into

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: the throat, but always remained alert and orientated. But nevertheless,

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: I think this shows just how poorly the Pope has

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: been And yeah, this couple of months off, the doctors

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: are basically ordering because he he still sounded pretty pretty poor.

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Earlier this month there was an audio recording and his

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: voice there was really pretty restless. So needs a lot

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 2: of rest and recuperation. And there will be plenty around

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: the world celebrating his release from hospital today.

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, good luck with that. Though. Pope Francis

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: is a man married to his job and he wants

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: to work, but he should take two months off for

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: his own health. Now every Uber driver in the UK

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: will now be eligible for twenty hours of free child kit.

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Why well, it's meant to try and encourage and recruit

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: more staff, particularly more female drivers. Now Here in the UK,

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: childcare is incredibly expensive. In fact, it's so expensive that

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: many mothers actually don't return to the workforce because they

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: think they'll be worse off because the cost of childcare

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: outweighs their net earnings for the job they're doing. And

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: so this is an attempt by Uber to try and

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: get more women in. And what they're saying is they

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: will allow people to use an app which means they

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: can book nannying and baby sitting. Now, twenty hours of

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: free childcare doesn't sound like a lot, and I suppose

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: it isn't, but it is something that they believe really

38
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: will help steend. The tie up caught quite a few

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: webs in and around London and it is always men,

40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: so Uber trying to attract more women drivers. There are

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand Uber drivers in the UK and their

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: unions or at least a union which represents some of

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: those drivers said this is really a cynical pr stunt.

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: They said they should pay the drivers more, not fiddle

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: around the edges with incentives like this, and say, according

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: to some anyway, that their wages have fallen in the

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: year despite prices being increased for customers. So yeah, the

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: union really playing this down Uber saying it's a great scheme,

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: and certainly one or two of the drivers that they

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: put forward to speak of saying, yeah, it is going

51
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: to make life much easier.

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,679
