1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Sixteen away from seven Ryan, so glad adrianaor is gone.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: He was a disaster with Robertson interfering as well. It

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: was more of a puppet's best news ever, says Linda,

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: and another here says, this is about the astronauts who

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: was stuck in space. They are going to be coming

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: home and will be replaced by two new astronauts, one

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: of whom is American, the other is Russian. And I

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: like this text from Paul that just says, maybe we

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: should send mister Trump and mister peterin up there together.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: That would sort the whole thing out, wouldn't it. That

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: would solve the world's problems. Let's go to Gavin Gray.

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: He's a UK and NEK correspondent, Gavin Good Evening.

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: Good evening, Ryn. It would be solved in a day,

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't they.

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: Hey, the Vice President in the United States backtracking on

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: these comments he made about potential involvement of the international

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: forces to police APPEACE deal in Ukraine. How's that going

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: down over there?

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: Really really, as you can imagine, very badly. Lots of

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: criticism here, and he has since JD. Vance backtracked on

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: some of those comments. So His comments actually were that

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: the having a US stake in the Ukraine economy was

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: quote better security guarantee than twenty thousand troops from some

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: random country that hasn't fought a war in thirty to

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 3: forty years.

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: Now.

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: Who was he talking about, Well, only the UK and

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: France have offered to put boots on the ground in

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: Ukraine as part of a peace deal, so one assumes

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: he was talking about them. And that led, of course

32
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: to plenty of people here referring to the mission in

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: Afghanistan with America, the mission in Iraq with America, and

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: plenty of people which said it was incredibly disrespectful of

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: British forces the same sort of said from France. And

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: now Jdvans and said, well, no, no, I never said it

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: was Britain or France. I didn't mention those countries.

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: But who else could he have referred to? Well, we

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: don't know.

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: He didn't answer that, So yeah, a lot of upset

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: here caused by that comment.

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, there some you guys head over in London

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: with the French and and all sorts of European leaders

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: intra die. Actually Trump's kind of headed poke at that too.

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, just saying, you know, gosh, is that all they

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: can do? What a time to say that, You know,

47
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: when we're going to have a get together and talk

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: about more war was his comment, When he should be

49
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: we we should be trying to talk about peace.

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: So he's absolutely slammed it.

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: And as the UK was proudly announcing a four point

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: plan to guarantee Ukraine's defense in the event of a

53
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: peace deal, the US President said, in my quote, probably

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: not a great statement to have made in terms of

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: a show of strength against Russia.

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: What are they thinking?

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: Again, didn't elaborate on that, And we don't know why

58
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: this suddenly came out. There is this sort of tendency,

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: I think, as was shown by J. D Vance in

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: that earlier quick answer, that they just simply shoot from

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: the hip a little bit and once or twice that's

62
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 3: landing them into hot water.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: Now you're six, so we're all in five eyes together, right,

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: and I six is in there with a gathering intelligence

65
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: foreign intelligence. Your inspy agency is actually a little bit

66
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: worried about sharing that intelligence now with the United States

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: because Trump's in power.

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we're the only ones now.

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: There hasn't been a formal announcement about this, But in

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: the last few hours, Finland's intelligence service called SUPO has

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: said it is closely watching developments.

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: In the Trump administration.

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: Why well, because you know, first of all, President Trump

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: has cozied up to Putin. Secondly, he has stopped his

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: administration's offensive cyber operations against Russia. And lastly, the administration

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: already is accused of mishandling sensitive data that's supposed to

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: be secret by actually announcing it on social media, is

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: the allegation. So that's why many in the Five Eyes

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: are very, very wary about what's happening. I think, to

80
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: be fair ram when any new leader gets in, there's

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: a certain element of app hension, maybe a certain element

82
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: of not giving everything over at the start that you know.

83
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: But I think definitely we're sensing among those different security

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: intelligence organizations across Australia and New Zealand, amongst the Fire Eyes,

85
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: that this is going to be something that all of

86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: those governments and organizations are reviewing carefully, fearing that any

87
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: information they give may suddenly be blurted out on social

88
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: media or in.

89
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: An interview, which is an absolutely fear concern to have.

90
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: The other instinct thing course, is whether the American intelligence

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: community actually hands over all of the intel to the

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: president on the same basis. Now, tell me about these migrants.

93
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: They were trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea and they

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: have been rescued, which is fantastic news. That they found

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: themselves on an oil platform.

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: So it's just off the coast of Tunisia, so they

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: haven't got terribly far, and they decided to get onto

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 3: this oil platform because I think their boat was very

100
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: sort of poorly maintained.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: As usual, and they feared drowning.

102
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: So although one personal platform has died when they managed

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: to scramble or board, they are now on a non

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: governmental organization boat called the Sea Watch. It says it's

105
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: rescued all thirty two remaining from this platform. However, although

106
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: they're being looked after aboard the Aurora ship, no country

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: nearby has yet agreed to let the ship dock safely. So,

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 3: in other words, no European countries intervened despite what the

109
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: ship's owners are saying is an imminent emergency and the

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: fact that the people are stranded in international waters. So

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 3: they are looking at Malta perhaps as being the place

112
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: that should take them on run because this happened within

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: international waters, but within the Maltese search and rescue zone.

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: And I think it really plays again into this thing

115
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: at the moment which immigration is such a hot topic

116
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: here in Europe and all those attacks as well that

117
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: we've seen in Germany by asylum seekers and by those

118
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: who come from Afghanistan and other countries that quite frankly,

119
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: people are going to be very very reluctant countries, very

120
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: reluctant to take on board these thirty two even though

121
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: it is a relatively small figure.

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Gevin, thank you very much for that. Gvin Gray,
