1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Gavin Gray UK corresponds with us now evening, Gevin, Hi,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: there ev given us Hungry, you're going to pay this

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: fine At the moment, there's a bit of a standoff

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: going on. So Hungry is being fined by the European

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: Union for not following the Union's asylum policies. It's a

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: big fine of roughly four hundred million New Zealand dollars.

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: But of course Hungary is a big recipient of funds

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: from the EU, so it's a bit of an in

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: and out policy this. However, interestingly, the Court, the European's

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: top court that find Hungary has also issued a one

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: million euro a day extra charge until it changes its policy.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: That's roughly one point six million New Zealand dollars a day. Now.

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: What basically happened is the European Court of Justices annoyed

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: with Budapest, saying it's in breach of a twenty twenty

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: judgment across the European Union and has violated its laws

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: by forcing asylum seekers to travel to bell Grade or

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Kiev to apply for a travel permit to end to Hungary.

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: They are not allowed to do that. They should instead

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: accept migrants and then process them at that particular point

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: rather than sending them away again. Now, Victor Alban, who's

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Hungary, very outspoken, quite anti EU,

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: said the fine has been quote for defending the borders

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: of the European Union, describing it as outrageous and unacceptable,

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: and then said it seems that illegal migrants are more

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: important to the Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens. Well,

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: along with the European elections that we've had this week

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: and a bit of a lurch to the right, sometimes

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: far right in a couple of countries, Hungary certainly prominent

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: in the leading voice of dissenters now within the EU. Kevin,

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: how bad are these drug wars in Northeast England getting? Well?

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: They appear to be pretty grim, don't they. So we've

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: had a court case just finished here in the UK

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: up in Northumbria, that's South Townside up to the extreme

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: northeast of England, where four men have been found guilty

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: of killing a man during a series of ammonia attacks

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: that were meant to intimidate rival drug gangs. Now, they

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: basically would bang on the door, somebody would open it

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: and they would immediately spray them in the face with ammonia,

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: which is of course highly corrosive, highly poisonous. In one incident,

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: a young woman who police said was not meant to

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: be the target, lost her eye in one of the

42
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: three attacks, such was the level of toxicity from the ammonia. However,

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: the big headline in this story is that one of

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: the attacks they carried out did end out in a fatality.

45
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: In August, two of the men in the gang knocked

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: on a twenty six year old front door, sprayed him

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: in the face before stealing from inside his home. He

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries, but he

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: struggled to breathe and then died a short time later,

50
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: suffering a cardiac arrest. So the four who have been

51
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: found guilty, ranging in ages from twenty two to thirty nine,

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: are now being sentenced at a couple of weeks time.

53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: What happened to the Yorkshire Football Club's ball? This is

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: just one of those funny funny stories. So, of course,

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: lots of the small little football club soccer clubs here

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: in the UK, and in particular Naphaton Youth Football Club

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: in East Yorkshire. So to the north of England basically

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: play with footballs that have stamped on them. Napaton Youth

59
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Football Club now they didn't realize any were missing, but

60
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: they received a contact from Facebook from a beach walker

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in Holland who said, I've got one of your footballs.

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: It's washed ashore on the island of ter Shilling. Well,

63
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: the chair and coach of the club, said, how the

64
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: ball came to arrive some four hundred miles six hundred

65
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: kilometers across the North Sea is one of life's great mysteries,

66
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: he said. One of the theories is that the possibility may

67
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: be a wayward shot landed in a ditch. The ditch

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: then became a river, The river then swept out for sea,

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: and then the tide did the rest. But we simply

70
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: don't know. And the man who found the football onter

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Shilling just said he couldn't believe when he read it

72
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: that had come from the UK. They incidentally, don't believe

73
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: they have had any foreign football matches from Yorkshire into

74
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Shilling and neither incidentally have they had any they think

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: anywhere their players go and take the ball on holiday

76
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: and kick it around and then lose it. So extraordinary

77
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: how it should have made its way all the way

78
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: from Yorkshire to ter Schilling. It's one of those mysteries.

79
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,680
