1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Into Brady UK correspondence with US right now hey and.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: Da hey Heather, how are you?

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: And well thank you? Now's this five percent of GDP

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: for the military spending reel?

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Yes, it will be in ten years time, that's the problem.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: And where will we be in a decade We simply

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: don't know. So Keir Starmer is heading over to the

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Netherlands to the Hague. There is the big two day

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: summit of all the NATO leaders starting today. What's interesting

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: is out of nowhere yesterday and this didn't really make

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: the news because of everything that's going on in the

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: Middle East. President Zelenski arrived pretty much unannounced into London yesterday.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: He went straight to Windsor Castle for lunch with King

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: Charles and then he came back to number ten Downing Street.

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: They literally rolled out a red carpet at the front

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: of number ten Downing Street for Zelensky yesterday. So the

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: threat from Russia, the war, it has not stopped. The

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: Russian threat has not gone away. And Starmer's pledge to

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: NATO today will be that yes, Britain will start spending

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: five center GDP on defense, but it'll take them a

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: decade to get there.

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Now, What is interesting about it is that it's made

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: up of three point five percent, which is traditional defense spending,

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: and then one point five percent, which is whole of society.

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: What does that mean.

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: I think that's investment in infrastructure. And look, given what

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 2: we saw the other day with pro Palestinian activists getting

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: onto an RAF airbase in Oxfordshire and effectively destroying aircraft

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars worth, they need every penny

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: they can get because that was very embarrassing.

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Hey, so where's the statue of Queen Elizabeth? Gonna go?

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: Saint James's Park just in front of Buckingham Palace, And

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: basically Lord Norman Foster, the renowned British architect, has been

34
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: given the gig. He was one of several entries and

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: the government and the royal family have chosen him. So

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: there will be a statue of the Queen on horseback.

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: There will be a kind of like a see through

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: bridge over replacing what is a bridge there at the

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: moment in Saint James's Park, And interestingly they're also going

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: to have a statue of Prince Philip, so it'll be

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: a really kind of standout kind of moment. I think,

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: and the plan is for it all to be done

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: by April next year, when she would have turned a hundred.

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Hey tell me about this island and the Keiwi connection

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: to the Scottish island.

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a lovely story. Today. So there is

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: an island for sale called Shoona Shuna and it has

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: a ruined castle on it eleven million dollars if you

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: fancy it. It is beautiful, but the castle is in

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: ruins and would you believe In nineteen eleven a Kiwi

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: adventurer called George Alexander Buckley McLean he built that castle.

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: It's absolutely stunning the beaches. It looks beautiful, very serene

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: and peaceful. But I think eleven mil is just a starter.

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: If you can buy the island, you're gonna probably have

55
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: to spend another ten or eleven and doing up that castle.

56
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: But a Kiwi adventurer, he was a mate of Shackleton's.

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: He was on the expedition to the Antarctic on the

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: Nimrod and he somehow rocked up on a Scottish island

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: in nineteen eleven and built himself a castle. The family

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: are selling it. Family are selling it now. Bottom line

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: is eleven million, end z.

62
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: What do you know about this castle is double glazed, enunsulated.

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: It's got trees growing out of the windows. Come on, Heather,

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: come on, that's the catch. You're going to have to

65
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: spend a lot of money doing it up. There was

66
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: a family living there up until maybe three or four

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: decades ago. The kids were home schooled and it's been

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: in the same family for eighty years. They're now deciding

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: to sell.

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: That's the Galley family, isn't it.

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: This is it? Yeah, yeah, the Gully family and Da've

72
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: decided to cash in their chips. But look, someone in

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: Ireland last week won about four hundred million dollars on

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: euro millions matching seven balls. So this will be loose

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: change for someone. And what a project. What a project.

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,920
