1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: In the brady Ow UK correspondence with US.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Hey end, Hey, heaven lovely, let's speak to you again.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: So the UK wants a trade deal with the US.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Is it likely?

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: No, in a word, and Rachel Reeves has pretty much

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: said that in her first interview. So it's day two

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: now of her in Washington, DC. She is the chancellor.

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: It is her job to get the economy moving again.

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: Here Britain absolutely needs a trade deal with the United States,

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: but it's not going to happen quickly. And everyone's told

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: this before Brexit. Even Barack Obama came out and said,

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: if you leave the European Union, you can go to

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: the back of the queue. Everyone wants a trade deal

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: with the United States. So here we are, all these

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: years later that has come to pass. So Reeves is

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: in America basically trying to build relationships, get the kind

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: of low down on the Trump administration, puts faces to

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: names and vice versa, and just shake some hands. But

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: ultimately there is not going to be a trade deal

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: this weekend. I mean Trump is actually traveling to Europe

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: anyway for the Pope's funeral on Saturday, So it's an

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: exercising bridge building. But the trade deal will not be

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: happening quickly.

24
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Hey did you see that London Marathon has come off Twitter?

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: Yes? I did. This is very interesting and I'm not

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: in any way surprise. So this is Hugh Bracher who

27
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: is the head of the London Marathon. His dad founded

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: it in the early eighties, all those years ago, and

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: it is the best day of the year in London.

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: It is one day I've run at ten times and

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: it is the one day that really fills you with

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: hope for humanity. You meet people who have physical disabilities,

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: you have people who are running for loved ones who

34
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: are ill or have passed away. You meet people who've

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: lost children, and everyone has one common goal to raise

36
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: as much money as possible, to get across the finishing

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 2: line as quickly as possible, and just to get the medal.

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not in any way surprise. Brasier has taken

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: the view his words, that's Twitter or X or call

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: it what you want, has descended into the gutter. So

41
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: they stopped posting on X and I say good luck

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: to them. I mean the level of abuse on there

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: is just vie.

44
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Do you still use it? Now?

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: I've come off it and I think back to. I've

46
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: reposted a couple of things recently, but I think back

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: to when I was badly sick in July twenty one

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: with COVID. I gave one interview on Irish radio urging

49
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: people to get the vaccine, and I got death threats.

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: I got abused every single day, and it still happens now,

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: and it got even worse. So the London Marathon that

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: year was in October, and when I couldn't walk, I

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: was in bed for seven weeks, and when I couldn't

54
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: walk properly, I said to myself, if I can get

55
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: over this and get fit and get training again, I'm

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: going to run marathons till I drop. And I booked

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: two in the space of a fortnight. That October, I

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: went to Amsterdam, and then a couple of weeks later

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: I did London and I ran the two of them

60
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: in under seven hours combined. And the level of abuse

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: on Twitter was just off the scale. People accusing me

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: of having made it up and being a government stooge,

63
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: and who this guy's being paid by Big Pharma, and

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: then the really kind of nasty personal abuse as well.

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: But then, hey, you know, it's just people who've got

66
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: way too much time on their hands and hearts full

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: of hate.

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally just got to come off today, Inda, Thank
