1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondence with us Now in the 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Laura of the German just told me that someone just 3 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: pulled a knife on you. 4 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: You okay, yeah, I'm fine. Might do you hear what's 5 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: just happened to me? This is London now, you never 6 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: see a police officer. So I'm two hundred meters away 7 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 2: from my studio and there's a guy standing behind a 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 2: row of bikes that you can hire by the hour, 9 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: and he quite aggressively said to me, can you give 10 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: me three fifty for a bike? And I never have 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: any cash on me, so I said, I have no 12 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: cash on me. He then said, well fu. He had 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: a plastic pint glass full of liquid which he threw 14 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: at me, so I jumped out of the way. The 15 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: liquid went everywhere, and then I moved closer to him 16 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: and I said why did you do that? And quick 17 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: as a flash, out comes the knife and he goes, 18 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: come on then, and I said, put the knife down 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: and we'll talk, and then he just kept moving. So 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: at that point I thought, I'm not getting stabbed over this. 21 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: Welcome to London, that is the city we live in. 22 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'm I'm just amazed. I mean you never 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: see police officers. I'm looking down the street. Now there's 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: a bus stop, there's kids, there's a there's a girl 25 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,559 Speaker 2: who's probably twelve in school uniform, just getting on the bus. 26 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: And this incident happened one hundred and fifty meters away 27 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: from where those kids are. It's shocking what has become 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: of London. It really really is. And do you know what, 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: just permit me ten more seconds on this, Heather. I've 30 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: just come back from Warsaw in Poland. I've been filming 31 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: in Poland, but the presidential election this weekend for the 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: last three days, clean safe, police everywhere and nobody bothers 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: you And I've just had that on my way to working. 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: I just want to ask, so you are I mean 35 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: you are out of Ham's way, right, He's not going 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: to come home find. 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, no, I'm true. I'm true security. Now 38 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: I'm in a studio. I'm happy, but I'm just a 39 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: little bit shaken. But like I'm quite annoyed because the 40 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: city is getting lawless. 41 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: What's going on? 42 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: Did you never see any police officers? 43 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: Why? 44 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: Just never see I don't know where the money goes. 45 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: It is the mystery of modern Britain. I'm paying I'm 46 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: in the top one percent of taxpayers and earners in 47 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: the United Kingdom. I don't know where the money goes, Heather, 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: They're certainly not spending it on police officers. And there's 49 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: no point even going to the police about this. I've 50 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: reported it to security downstairs. They're dealing with it. But 51 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: you just never see cops. 52 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the listener, this is and mean, I hate 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: to say this because I really hate it. The bad 54 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: people get away with bad behavior. But in don't next 55 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: time something like that happens, don't ask him why you 56 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: did that, Just leave because you don't need Lucky he 57 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: actually showed you what he was up to before you 58 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: actually got in trouble. Now listen, speaking of all of 59 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: this crime and stuff, you guys are running out of 60 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: prison space again as well. 61 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. So it's a big announcement from the 62 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 2: government today. Nine point four billion dollars is being set 63 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: aside in the budget. They're going to build three new 64 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: prisons and the reason being they've done their figures and 65 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: they've calculated how many come in and out of the 66 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: criminal system and the prison estate as they call it, 67 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: and by November it will be full. So as of 68 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: today they're on ninety nine percent capacity. And if you 69 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: remember when Starmer took power July last year, one of 70 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: the first things he had to do was let guys 71 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: out early. And there were not huge criminals. They were 72 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: not rapists or pedophiles or murderers. These were people who 73 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: had stolen things or you know, traffic violations, people who 74 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: you know, were serving six to twelve month sentences. They 75 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: were let out early in their hundreds for several weeks. 76 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: Clearly they can't keep doing that, so the plan is 77 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: three new systems prisons to be built in the UK 78 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: system in the next three years. 79 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: Are you surprised that Gary Lineker actually apologized for something 80 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: for once? 81 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: Yes, I am really in a way and I think 82 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: he'd no option here. He is leaving his BBC Match 83 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: of the Day role in a matter of weeks, but 84 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: he has been booked to do the twenty twenty six 85 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: Soccer World Cup on the BBC and that will be 86 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 2: his last big gig for the corporation. So what he's 87 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: done is he has reposted and shared on Instagram a 88 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: clip a video and it says Zionism explained in two 89 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: minutes and there is a rat emoji on that footage. 90 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: Now clearly we know this goes all the way back 91 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: to the Third Reich and the kind of imagery and 92 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: language used by the likes of Hitler and Goebbels and 93 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: the rest of them. He deleted it very, very quickly. 94 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: He says he didn't want to cause offense, but he 95 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: has apologized. I think a lot of his Jewish colleagues 96 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: at the BBC are extremely angry. Jewish organizations are calling 97 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: for him to be sacked watch this space, but he 98 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: does seem bulletproof. Yeah, it's a strange one. 99 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: It really is. A listen now putin calls for a meeting, 100 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: then doesn't turn up. 101 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: What the hell's he up to? So he has absolutely 102 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: no interest in peace. I mean the whole point of 103 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: what they're doing. And from every senior Russian that I 104 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: have interviewed over the last three plus years of this war, 105 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: the plan is that Ukraine does not exist, and they 106 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: will grind on if it means an inch every week, 107 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: and they do this for the next thirty years. That 108 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: is the plan. He has no interest in peace whatsoever, 109 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: And I think Zelenski has played a master stroke by 110 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 2: calling him out and saying I'll be there, will you, 111 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: And he knew he knew Putin would not turn up, 112 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: Putin sending a deputy deputy culture minister. I mean, it's 113 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: two fingers up to everyone. But at least hopefully now 114 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: Trump and Vance and the rest of them in America 115 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: can see what they're dealing with, because make no mistakes, 116 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: and I predict this here and now, within the next 117 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: three to five years, once Putin has recovered his economy 118 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: and he gets more men into his military, he will 119 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: go after one of the Baltic nations like Estonia. 120 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hope that doesn't happen, but I think you 121 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: might be right. And to listen, thank you very much 122 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: and yeh go and calm your nerves.
