1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: The Brady is a UK correspondent this evening. Hey, hey, Heather,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: speak again. And it's really not that long ago that

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: King Charles saw the Pope for the last time, was it, Yeah,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: less than two weeks So his words today even more

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: poignant because you know, we were initially told that the

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: King would not be visiting the Pope when he was

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: in Italy on that state visit a fortnight ago. And

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: then Charles reached out privately and the invitation came, and

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: the feeling amongst Vatican officials was that Francis was well

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: enough and up for it, and they met privately, and

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Charles brought him a gift and they spent some time together,

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: and obviously it was a very significant meeting because you

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: got the global head of the Roman Catholic Church meeting

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the head of the Church of England, defender of the

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: faith as Charles now is, and they had a wonderful

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: time together. And Charles just saying that he learned the

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: news yesterday with a heavy heart. So I guess he

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: looks back on that meeting two weeks ago and probably

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: just thinks, I'm really glad I went. Yeah, hey, listen,

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm on this business with the stand guns for the prisons.

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: What are the chances that these get issued? I would

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: say in the short term slim, but in the long

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: term it probably will happen. This oil has come about

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: as a result of an incident involving one prisoner last week,

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: very high profile guy. His brother was the Manchester bomber

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: who killed loads of young people at that concert a

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: few years back. This guy is called Hashim a baby.

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: He's in prison and he had boiling oil which he

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: threw on prison officers and then proceeded to stab people

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: with a knife that he had fashioned. That of plastic

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: disgusting behavior and a lot of people just asking the question,

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: why isn't this guy in solitary confinement? How has he

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: got access to boiling oil? A lot of very very

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: angry and rightly so prison officers. So the Prison Officers'

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Association has come out today and said it immediately once

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: stun guns issued to all officers as it's in UK

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: prisons right now, you get an extendable baton and synthetic

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: pepper spray to defend yourself against some of the most

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: violent men in Europe. Yeah, it's a fair argument that

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: you just made now on this big Ukraine meeting in

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: London tomorrow. What are we expecting. Well, the hope is

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: for something that will convince Putin and Trump to push

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: forward with a thirty day seasfire plan that can actually

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: bring the fighting to a stop. What Starmer is trying

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: to do is to make Europe look organized. So, following

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: on from the meeting in Paris last week, which we're

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: told was very constructive, Zelenski will be in town tomorrow.

48
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: We know Starmer is with your Prime Minister today and

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow as well, so we will have the UK, Ukraine, France,

50
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the United States. Marco Rubio is coming to town as well.

51
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: So this is a big, big day tomorrow for Ukraine

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: and it's badly needed. I mean I've just got off

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: a tube this morning in London and every morning I

54
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: share the same tube carried with the same young Ukrainian

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: guys heading off to work on building sites and what

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: have you. I mean, you look at the impact on

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: people's lives. A cease fire is badly, badly, badly needed. Yeah, Inda,
