1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Right now, though, we're going to our UK correspondent in

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the Brady who's with us in the good evening.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Ryan, good to speak to you again.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Great to speak to you. Charles has made history with

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: his Auschwitz visit.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: Yes he has. He has been a longstanding friend of

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: the Jewish community, not just in the UK but worldwide,

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: and he has always attended Holocaust events in London. He

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: has forged long friendships from many, many years with survivors

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: and the opportunity came to be in Auschwitz on the

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: atheist anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, and the King

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: took it. So he went and he visited, and very

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: very solemn visits of course, and he did his speech

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: and he just he was quite moved to tears actually,

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: So his picture is all over the front pages here today.

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: But this is something that Charles is very passionate about,

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: preaching about anti Semitism and just the dangers of where

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: the world is heading at the moment, with so much

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: hatred everywhere online in person, and Charles just felt that

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: was the right thing to do. So while he was

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: in Auschwitz, William and cap were actually in London with

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: Holocaust survivors from based in the UK at a memorial

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: event here as well. So quite a powerful display of

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 2: solidarity really from the royal family.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like it just stop oil. I mean just

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: stop for a period, but just stop oil. The protesters

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: are back at it in London. What are they doing

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: now in that.

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: So would you believe it? Sigourney Weaver is here with

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: world class talent, and she has wanted to perform The

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Tempest to play for a very long time, and last

32
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: night was her opportunity. And there is a line in

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: the play apparently that says come forth. She uttered that

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: and right on que stepped forward out of the crowd

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: up onto the stage, which she hadn't planned or taught about,

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: or didn't even know was going to happen. Come forth. Indeed,

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: two protesters from just Stop Oil. So they unfurled a banner,

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: they gave a speech, and then they were very quickly

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: bundled off. Sigourney Weaver was immediately a move from the

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: stage and the play was paused and the audience some

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: people cheered and a lot of people booed. They were

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: bundled out, and they released statements online saying that one

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: of them is a university lecturer from Nottingham and she

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: says that she just simply can't stand by anymore while

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: the world burns and leaders do nothing. But there you go,

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: they got their publicity. But yeah, last night in that theater, I.

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Just find you know, I don't have a problem with

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: those causes. I just find that the at arrogance of

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: them insufferable. You know who people paid good money to

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: go and say, Sigourney, we would come to London do

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the tempest. And for them to think they can just

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: get up there and interrupt the show and have this say,

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: I just think it's so arrogant. Anyway.

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I was shocked about Ryan, to be honest,

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: was last year when they started blocking roads in London

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: and ambulances were held up. That was I thought that

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: was really poor.

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. How the Energy secretary in the UK is hiring

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: a staff photographer, which is raising eyebrows. Why is there?

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: Well, the salary is eighty two thousand dollars a year

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: to be a vanasy photographer. So this was a trend

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: started in the Boris Johnson years. You won't be surprised

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: to hear other politicians have decided the taxpayer's cash is

64
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: there to be used for this. Now ed Milliband he

65
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: is Energy Secretary in the UK government, so he sits

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: in cabinet. Now it's interesting that he wants his own

67
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: vanity photographer to make every trip look amazing because ten

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: years ago, when he was Labor leader himself, he was

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: on the campaign trail and you may or may not

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: remember this, he famously ate a bacon sandwich and he

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: was really struggling with it. Photographer got the picture and

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: a tabloid newspaper putting on the front page the next

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: day saying save our bacon, and they basically said that

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: you know, this guy can't eat a bacon sandwich. If

75
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: he can't manage his lunch, how's he going to manage you?

76
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: And the picture, the face who was making They compared

77
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: him to Wallace from Wallace and Grommus back then. So

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: now he wants his own vanity photographer to make sure

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: that every picture just makes him looking out like he's

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: some Instagram model. But there we are a lot of

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: yebrows raised eighty two thousand dollars of taxpayers cash, So

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: pretty nice gig for a photographer.

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: Goodness, may have you converted that into New Zealand dollars

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: for us. What are you talking about?

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: Yes, I have not yeah no no, that's NZ dollars

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: eighty two k in zi.

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah goodness, make all right. Thanks very much to that
