1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Fourteen away from seven and Indo Brady as our UK 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: correspondent this evening. 3 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 2: Hey, Inda, Hey Heather, great to speak to you again. 4 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: So did Ki Stama interrupt a family holiday to go 5 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: over to Washington. 6 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: Yes, he did so. This is the second consecutive summer 7 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: that the Starmars have had their family holiday interrupted because 8 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: a year ago it was the aftermath of the Southport 9 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: stabbings and all those riots across the UK. This time 10 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: he has left the family in Scotland and gone to Washington. 11 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: That is how important he felt it was that the 12 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: UK be in the room or in the room next 13 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: door while Zelensky was meeting Trump. This has been a huge, 14 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: huge meeting last night. But I think there's still a 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: lot of concern in European capitals that Putin categorically cannot 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: be trusted. So we're talking and hearing about you know, 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: America providing a security guarantee for Ukraine. Putin is not 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: going to accept foreign boots on Ukrainian soil to keep 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: back Russian forces. So let's see what happens next. But 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: I guess the next step will be a meeting a 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: trilateral between Putin, Trump and Zelenski. 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what is it. I mean, Putin's gonna have 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: to give some ground, though, isn't he. If he's asking 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: Zelenski to give up all that land, He's gonna have 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: to give up some stuff too. Both sides have to 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: give stuff up. 27 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: Well, I think what Putin will have to give up 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: is give up fighting. That will have to be an 29 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: immediate end to the war. But everyone in Europe, I 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: mean people in the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: they're very, very nervous about what Putin does next. And 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: you know he's got this meat grinder mentality that he 33 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: will just push men. He will push them over the 34 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: front line and keep going inch by inch, week by week, 35 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: kilometer by kilometer, until he has the whole of Ukraine 36 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: and then what So it's fascinating that the show of 37 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: strength from Europe last night. I think we need to 38 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: really understand that all those European leaders, in the middle 39 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: of their summer holidays suddenly getting their act together and 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: being in that room next door monumental. 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: So do you not think this occurred to me today? 42 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Do you not think that Putin has to settle this time? 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: Because what's happened is Trump has gone out, He's got 44 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: all of this media coverage. It's been just wall to 45 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: wall across the world. Right, So Trump a lot of 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: his reputation is pinned on this. If Putin DICKX him 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: over now, it will be humiliating for him. And then 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: surely he's incentivized. This is Trump, He's incentivized to come 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: after Putin and make life as hard as possible and 50 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: crush the economy. So does Putin now not have skin 51 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: in the game to actually settle. 52 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: It's a very good point. But look, I think what 53 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: Trump wants most of all is the Nobel Peace Prize. 54 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: We know that much. And if leaders were serious about 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: hurting Putin, how this could have been and should have 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: been done a long time ago was massive secondary sanctions 57 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: on people who are buying Russian oil and gas and 58 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: keeping the Russian economy going, and that is China and India. 59 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, people have not shown the willingness 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: to go after those two countries economically as well. Putin 61 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: feeling in Europe from speaking to European leaders, politicians, diplomats 62 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: for the last three and a half years, they do 63 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: not trust him, They cannot trust him, and even as 64 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: Zelenski was walking into the room, Russia was launching drawn 65 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: attacks on Ukrainian civilians last night. That's all we need 66 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: to know about what putin is. 67 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, explain something to me as the London bar 68 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: adding a four percent like a tep when you go 69 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: up to the bar to order the drinks or for 70 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: all drinks. 71 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: So it's all drinks. This is a pub that's brought 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: this in in Waterloo in London four percent. So you 73 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: go up, you buy your beer, wine or whatever, and 74 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: then you pay, or you go to tap with your phone. 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: They've already added the four percent and then the only 76 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: way you can get this off is if you object, 77 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: and then the member of staff has to then go 78 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: back into the transaction and remove the four percent. And look, okay, 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: it's not going to break anyone, but it's about sixty 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: cents on a pint of lager, and a lagger in 81 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: London these days is sixteen New Zealand dollars. So my 82 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: question is are we now stealthily heading towards an American style, 83 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: you know, bar economy, where we're tipping people for absolutely everything, 84 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: because normally you ask someone for a tip in a 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: pub in London, they'll give you the who's going to 86 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: win the next race at Lingfield? You know with the horses, 87 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: are we slowly inching our way towards America? Kind of 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: tipping absolutely everyone and yet people would say, oh, it's 89 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: only four percent and what they're doing it's very clever 90 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: because pubs in London are packed, it's busy. Do you 91 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: want to be the guy or the girl at the 92 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: bar going oh I object to that, take that off 93 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: and suddenly you got someone behind you saying come on, Paul, 94 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: hurry up. 95 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, no one wants to be there, Dick, Hey, thank you, Inda, 96 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
