1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: UK europe correspondent in the Brady with us tonight in

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: the Good Evening. Good morning to.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: You, hey Ryan, good to speak to great.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: To speak to you too. Now we've seen the tears

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: from Rachel Reeves last week. You know how bad are

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the finances? Is Caseta? Am I gonna have to whip

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: out some new taxes?

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Yes? In a word, So there's a ten billion dollar

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: black hole in the UK finances, all off the back

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: of the welfare reforms not being allowed to go as

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 2: far as he wanted. That was the big row last

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: week and the tears from Rachel Reeves in Parliament all

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: very very embarrassing for Labor. And what we're hearing today

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: is they're looking at bringing in a new tax on

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: the wealthy. So if you've got assets north of twenty

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: million dollars, Labor will be looking for two percent of

17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: them that there will be a wealth tax. Now, the

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: taxation world is up in arms about this rich people,

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: as you can imagine, the super wealthy, they're not exactly

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: enamored either, and a lot of tax experts and financial

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: bods are pointing out that nowhere in the world has

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: managed to make a wealth tax work. Basically these people

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: are so rich and so fiscally fluid, they just move

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: their money somewhere else and off they go. So already,

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: you know, we've seen an awful lot of rich people

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: leave since Labor came to power. Will we see even

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: more goodness?

28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Mate? I mean, obviously there's going to be a get

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: that's going to have to be filled by catsl or

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: increases to revenues. Yes, and I have to do something,

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: won't they? Four hundred media figures call pro Israeli four

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: pro is Raelly to be removed from the BBC board.

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: What's this about?

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: So there's a man called Robbie Gibb who was a

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: member of Parliament Conservative then he was a political journalist

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: and then Theresa A made him her spin doctor doing

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: comms in Downing Street when she was Prime Minister. None

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: of that is a problem. What is a problem for

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people now is that he's on the

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: Board of Directors of the BBC and also the Editorial

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: Standards Committee at the BBC because he was involved in

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: the takeover of the Jewish Chronicle newspaper in London five

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: years ago. Now that is a right wing, very pro

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: Israel publication and Robbie Gibb is still heavily involved with

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: the ownership of that newspaper. Now, last week, the BBC

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: decided not to air a documentary about Gaza which it

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: had commissioned. It was called Gaza Medics under Fire and

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: it shows Israel bombing hospitals, killing doctors and nurses and

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: patients and surgeons, and the BBC decided that having commissioned

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: the documentary, someone at a very high level in the BBC,

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: at board level, decided that we're not showing that. Channel

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: four then showed it. And because the BBC didn't show it,

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: more people want to watch it, and it has gone viral.

54
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: And basically you've got four hundred very prominent media figures

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: coming out now signing an open letter calling for Robbie

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: Gibb to be removed from the BBC Board of Directors.

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: They say his position is completely un Cannibal GiB no

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: doubt we'll stay there because Starmer gets involved in nothing

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: like this.

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Now, two famous Greek islands of fighting back against the

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: cruise ship over tourism there.

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: I'm not sure forty dollars is going to put off anyone.

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: If you've traveled from New Zealand. If you've traveled from Canada, Australia,

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: wherever you've come from in the world to get to

65
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: Santorini and Mikinos, I'm not sure you're going to be

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: deterred by a local tax, effectively a levy they're putting

67
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: on people coming off cruise ships. But that is the

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: big idea this summer. These two islands are fighting back.

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: We see a lot of stories about over tourism in Europe,

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: particularly cities like Barcelona, where people have had enough of

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: AIRB and B and you know, the influx of tourists

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: and the rattle of suitcases every morning along cobbled streets.

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: People have had enough. So Santorini and Mikinos, two of

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: the most famous Greek islands, they've decided that if you

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: come to their island off a cruise ship, they're going

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: to hit roughly forty dollars of a levee. But as

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: I say, if you've traveled a very long way to

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: get to a Greek island, you're not going to blink

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: at forty dollars.

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: No, it's certainly not. Hey appreciate your time, DA as always.
