1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Devin Gray are UK correspondent Givin. Good to have you

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: on the show. As always, the banks, the EU retaliatory

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: tariffs on UISH exports, they have been given the delay button.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: Again, yes, yet again, and all this I think is

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: sort of almost a dance, if you like, with the

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: President of America. Obviously now he's threatening much larger tariffs

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: on the EU, up to thirty percent, and they're basically

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: now I think in this thing about timing, the EU

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: is being accused by Donald Trump of pulling its dragging

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: its feet, really not getting into this fast enough. He's

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: getting impatient. But I think that the European Commission President

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: versull A vonderlyon announcing these delays, is basically suggesting that

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: it is being done in order to try and sort

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: out that thirty percent tariff as well. So the EU's

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: retaliation would have hit twenty one billion euros roughly forty

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: billion New Zealand dollars worth of US goods. It was

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: first suspended in March. The break has been extended down

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: until early August, and EU trade ministers meeting in Brussels

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: today to discuss how to respond to the latest threat

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: from Donald Trump and those thirty percent tariffs on EU imports.

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: He says, really the trade imbalance between the EU and

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: America is ridiculously high and disgusting in his own words,

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: and he said that has got to stop. The EU

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: is saying, well, this is not the way to go

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: about it. And he thinks that European Union countries think

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 2: it's time everyone got round the negotiating table and really

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: thrashed the deal out. But these steals are never very

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: quick to do.

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're certainly not keivin. There's a good chunk

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: of laboring peace who are wanting the government to recognize

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: Palestine as a state.

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting this So nearly sixty labor MPs have

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: called on the Foreign Office to immediately recognize Palestine as

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: a state. They really want to ratchet up pressure on

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: their own government here, and they believe that Gaza is

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: being ethically cleansed and have set out five different measures

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: to prevent the Israeli government from carrying out a trapa plan.

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Of course, Israel verhemently deny those claims of being acting

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: in that way against Gaza, but the letters that the

40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: ministers have received says that Palestine should be recognized as

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: a state. It should continue support for the UN Agency

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: for Palestinian Refugees, something which Israel says has been riddled

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: with the corruption and hammers integration. It should secure the

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: release of hostages, press for the full and unhindered resumption

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: of humanitarian aid, and also make a full review and

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: place restrictions on trade and financial support of illegal Israeli

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: settlements in West Bank. And it's that last one that

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: they may actually get a bit of traction with a

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: great amount of discussion here about trade with Israel, whether

50
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: perhaps that is the best way the UK can act

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: in order to try and force Israel into climbing down

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: over some of its actions.

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: From the Weird Files, Gevin the UK airport playing a

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: looped soundtrack in the background of what.

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: Of an airport? Yes, believe it or not. It has

56
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: commissioned a soundtrack which will be on loop, which will

57
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: basically be called the Music for Heathrow. So this is

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: Britain's biggest airport, just to the west of London, and

59
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: they've got this musician, multi instrumentalist and producer, a Grammy

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: nominee to yeah, try and sort of work out a

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: little soundtrack and bizarrely it isn't music as such, it's

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: seat of ambient noises that will include a lady on

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: a tannoid, hurried footsteps on a tiled floor, the rumble

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: of a baggage belt, the hum of an escalator. Why

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: why are they spending all this money? Well, they want

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: to kickstart what they call passenger holidays by reflecting the

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: excitement and anticipation Ryan of going on holiday. I have

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: to tell you the biggest excitement and anticipation I get

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: is seeing if my flight has not been delayed or canceled.

70
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: And many people think this is rather an odd way

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: of spending money for all those charges that they levy.

72
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: Very so they play this and the background while wouldn't

73
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: you have the natural ambience sounds doing the job for you?

74
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Very good question, bizarre, very bizarre, Gavin. Thank you for
