1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Devin Gray are UK correspondents with us Ay Gevin Hi there.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: They're going to discuss the sanctions at the G seven,

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: but will they actually impose sanctions.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something that this government in the UK is

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: very much looking at, along with the European allies. There's

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: all this talk about Coalition of the Willing coming to

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: the fore again because Donald Trump's attempts to get them

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: around the table Ukraine and Russia and get a piece

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: deals on to that does seem to be stalling, with

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: the Russians showing very little interest in it, and so

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: it's a chance I think at the G sid yes,

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: to discuss other things, including of course what's going on

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. But I think as well the

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: UK Prime Minister on the plane on the way over

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: talking journalists said, you know, if Vladimir Putin does not

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: agree to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine and there's movement there,

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: then further sanctions are bound to follow sort of things.

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: So that's something he's very keen on doing, to do

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: things through the sort of the court of law as

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: it were, and new sanctions rather than any other weapons

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: a choice. But it's certainly going to be an interesting

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: discussion because not all the countries involved are going to

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: be that keen on doing it. Though of the G seven, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: the US and the UK, as well as the EU

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 2: are certainly going to need to show unified from Hey, did.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: You see those guys in Spain are running around with

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: water pistols and firing it at the tourists.

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: Yes, and being encouraged to fire at at tourists. So

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: this is the ongoing protests in various countries, predominantly in

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: Spain but also now in Italy and Portugal that they're

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: basically saying tourism, mass tourism, excessive levels of tourism are

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: forcing locals out of affordable housing. They say, the cost

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: of living now in the city centers is absolutely unsustainable,

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: and these anti tourism protests are getting bigger and bigger.

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Now while average wages have risen a few percent, they're saying, actually,

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: do you know what the percentage rise of rental properties

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: has gone up massively more, And Barcelona has twenty million

38
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: tourists in twenty twenty four, and they're saying, you know,

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: quite frankly that number is unsustainable when you look at

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: who uses hotels and who uses Airbnb or other various

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: ways of staying over and it comes, as we're seeing

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: reports a set of almost shanty towns now on the

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: edge of some of these very popular tourist destinations because

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: locals say they're unable to live there, so big protests

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: saying they want the government to act to limit tourism,

46
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: but also to say to make holidaymakers much or much

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: less welcome by perhaps praying than with water pistols, and

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: even in some centers in the bally Erics islands of

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: the Off Africa that are Spanish, saying that perhaps people

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: should put super glue in the locks of holiday apartments.

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: Oh ly, jeez, that's rough. Gevin, thanks very much, appreciate it.
