1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Gevin Gray UK correspondence with us Ellogevin either have right

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: so tell me about the check who's been jailed for

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: being a member of his buller.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Yes, this was in Germany and this man only described

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: as fadal Z in line with German privacy laws, has

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: been sentenced to six and a half years in prison

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: for being a member of the Shia militia group hez BLA.

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: The military wing is prescribed as a terrorist organization by

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: the EU, and the thirty five year old was also

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: found guilty of aiding and a betting, attempted murder and

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: also other violations of European Union embargo relations. Now, what

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: he was effectively doing was purchasing roughly two and a

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: half million New Zealand dollars worth of materials for the

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: construction of drones, and was getting those materials being sent

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: then abroad for their manufacture in Lebanon. So he had

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: ordered some two thousand petrol and electric motors and over

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: six hundred propellers. It was said I thought he was

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: a foreign operator for Hesbela and for the HESBA drones

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: program since twenty twenty two, first of all in Spain

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: and then started working in Germany. The products came in

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: from Europe, China, United States and used front companies. He

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: used front companies registering his own name or that of

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: his contacts to place orders and suppliers were paid via

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: these companies that he'd set up. And two of the

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: engines we definitely know two of the engines purchased by

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: this ban were later used in explosive drones that Hesbela

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: fired at Israel. So I think it just goes to

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: show some of the more covert things happening in Europe

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: to do with Iran currently going on GVIN.

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Have they explained why they've banned this match for Sunday

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: and what the risk was.

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Well, the government is very aware that there is a

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: march being planned. It's called the annual Al Kutz Day,

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: and it's seen as pro Iranian. Now the organizers saying no, no, no, no,

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: this is pro Palestinian. They're basically saying it is an

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: annual event in which we try to highlight some of

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: the ways in which Palestinians are being attacked or at

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: least life made very very difficult for them around the world.

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: But police certainly received intel legends there was going to

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: be counter protest marches that a lot of it was

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: going to be around the current action we're seeing in

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: the Middle East and Iran, and that's why they were

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: so worried about it. Now a march on the move,

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: of course, becomes that much more difficult to protest. So

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: the government has used powers that they've not used since

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: twenty twelve in order to effectively ban the march. What

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: they've said instead is you can hold a demonstration, but

48
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: it needs to be in a single place and you

49
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: need to stay in that place, and it's under strict conditions.

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: Now the organizers of the march saying this is against

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: our really free speech. This government is going against its

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: own less saying we want free speech in this country,

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: but others are saying no. It was far too dangerous

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: to have something on the march on the go through

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: London which could easily splinter into different areas as people

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: go through different streets. It would have become almost impossible

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: for them to police. They have said they have policed

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: it in the past, that this year they believe it

59
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: would have been very, very dangerous because of the current

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: action and war in Iran.

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Now, Givin you decided for me, do you reckon fourteen

62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: hundred pounds to go and see Meghan speakers a little

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: on the steep side.

64
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, I thought you should go and on an investigative weekend.

65
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Fractally so, the Archest of Sussex is headlining a women

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: only retreat in Sydney Coojie Beach. To be more precise,

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: if you fancy it, it's nearly three thousand New Zealand

68
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: dollars per person. It's a three day event during which

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: Meghan will basically have a girl's weekend like no other.

70
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: It's been described at a very small group aimed at

71
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: women trying to be their best selves. Not quite sure

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: what that means. I'm sure you can explain it to

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: other It's an unforgettable weekend for women ready to reconnect,

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: recharge and have some serious fun. And apparently it includes

75
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: sessions with a psychologist, some yoga, sound healing, a disco

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: and a meditation and manifestation session. Now, the last visit

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: held by Harry and Meghan to Australia was in twenty eighteen. Recently,

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: just after that, they announced that they were expecting a child.

79
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: Megan was pregnant, but of course the couple stepped down

80
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: from basically Royal Rota duties in January twenty twenty, so

81
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: it's interesting that they're going back there as part of

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: their sort of private world tour, and we'll wait to

83
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: see exactly how this weekend pans out.

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: You had me at manifestation session. I thought it's about

85
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: a meet for the entire weekend. Thank you, Gevin Great,
