1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Gevin gray Are UK correspondence with Uskevin Hallo. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 2: Hi there, Hella, Gvin. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: You guys have got these new digital border chicks coming 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: in jurick An. They're going to cause some trouble. 5 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: I think there's every sign that there might be a 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: little bit of chaos at the start, and of course 7 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: it'll affect everyone entering or leaving the European Union. So 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: these new digital border checks really are going to replace 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: the current passport stamping system that requires everyone from outside 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: the European Union to register their fingerprints of photo and 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: passport details in order to enter the block.

It is at least a year late, probably more, 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: and that was because the delays were put in place 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: because the technology was not yet ready. You can imagine 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: across the twenty seven nations of the European Union how 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: complicated this is going to be. It isn't just the airports, 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: but the ports and the roads and the train stations. 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 2: It really is a massive piece of organization and citizens 22 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: of countries which are outside the EU, and of course 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: that now includes the UK will need to register their 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: biometric information in plenty of time, but there are huge 25 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: fears that is the EU aims to titan border security, 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: it may bring long, long delays to some days some travelers. 27 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: What is going on with these fires at the French prisons. 28 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, very very interesting. This so the French ministers are 29 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: now believing that the fires and in one instance automatic 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: gunfire outside of prison is a terrorist act and seven 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: prisons have been targeted right across the country, including nontern 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 2: near Paris, and it's been suggested that these attacks, which 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: began at the weekend are a response to the government's 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: crackdown on drug trafficking.
