1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Big you trade deal has been announced to India and

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: the EU. Mike Pierces our UK europe correspondent, Mike pretty big,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: pretty mess of the market and the number of people.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Yes. Indeed, in fact, this is being dubbed as the

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: biggest and most historic trade deal ever. It will make

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: it much easier for the nations of India and the

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: EU to buy and sell goods from one another. That's

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: the whole point of it. Really significant because they've been

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: talking about this, believe it or not, on and off

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: for twenty years. It will allow free trade of goods

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: between twenty seven European states in India. They account for

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: almost twenty five percent of global trade and a market

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: of wait for it, two billion people. EU President vonder

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: Lyon was at a media briefing in Delhi. Prime Minister

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: Modi called the pack historic. He said it's the biggest

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: India had ever agreed. In fact, just about everything from

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: tea to car's, wine, electrics, chemicals and much more. We'll

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: see tariff's cut and trade made much easier now. The

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: deal comes as both India and the EU, of course,

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: contend with economic pressure from the United Slid States and

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his tariffs. Now, in the past seven months,

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: India has signed major trade agreements with the UK and

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: New Zealand. We in the UK are not part of

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: this deal because of course we voted to leave the

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: European Union and go it alone.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: Now very quickly, the kids on their phones and social media.

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: No one likes it. The Aussies have moved and most

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: of Europe now looks like they're going to follow soon.

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And in the UK I think we're also

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: going to see a mobile phone ban as well. France

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: has become the second country in Europe to announce a ban,

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: following the UK last week, Italy, Denmark, Greece, Norwagias some

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: of the others. As you say, Australia was the first

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: to bring that ban in under sixteen year olds. Last month,

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: France says it will be for under fifteen year olds.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: Social media companies will have to make sure the person's age. Meanwhile,

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: in the UK, as I say, the government has told

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: all schools they must ban mobile phones from students. It

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: says teachers should not be seen using them as well.

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Those behind the band say phones are distracting in class,

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: but I'd say they're vital for pair purrants soon need

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: to communicate with their children during the day. Some very

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: mixed opinions.

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: It certainly is all right, Mike. I appreciate that, Mike
