1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Gray seven rather seven Gvin Gray are UK correspondents

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: with us Elogevin, Hi there, okay, so you bend the

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: energy drinks for the kids.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Yes, the government is at least planning to do this

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: and it's going out for consultation, but I think it's

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: likely to be nodded through. There is huge concern that

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: has been huge concern about these high energy drinks such

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: as Red Bull, Monster and Prime. Many supermarkets have introduced

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: a voluntary ban already, but up to a third of

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: children in the UK are thought to consume these types

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: of drinks every week now. Some popular drinks contain more

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: caffeine than two cups of coffee, and the TV chef

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: Jamie Oliver has repeatedly been warning about the dangers and

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: disruption that energy drinks can cause. He said children are

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: going into school bouncing off the walls having had energy

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: drinks for breakfast. He said, we're talking about three or

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: four shots of espresso in one of these things, and

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: loads of sugar, so it's an absolute nightmare. He's posted.

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: And we do know excessive consumption is linked to headaches

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: and sleep problems. Too much caffeine can cause a rapid

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: heart rate a normal heart rhythms and seizures. But this

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: is the first time the government stepped in and they

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: really do think that banning anyone under the age of

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: sixteen from mind these drinks is the first step.

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: How do they stop them buying them from vending machines?

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, that's going to be the thing, I think obviously.

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: The problem is trying to work out where children are

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: buying them or where they might be able to access them,

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: and then banning the vending machines from those areas. But yeah,

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: it's pretty true. It's going to be very, very difficult

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: to police.

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, now what is this? Chep who writes Father Ted

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: actually said.

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, this is a story that's causing major actions here

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: in the UK, and it would be almost like a

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: scene out of one of his beloved productions. So Ted

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: Father Ted co creator Graham Linehan had been arrested a

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: Heater airport, he says, by five armed police officers after

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: he stepped off a plane. As I said, famous for

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: co creating Father Ted, the It Crowd Black books are

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: well known comedia, comedy and writer, and he said that

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: he had been arriving on this flight from the US

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: and said in an article that officials became concerned for

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: his health after taking his blood pressure and then took

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: him to hospital. Anyway, he was all right police. They're

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: only saying a man in his fifties was arrested and

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: this looks like an article that he wrote, or some

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: posts rather on x that he wrote about his views

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: challenging trans identified males in a female only space. The

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: first post from his feed called it a violent abusive

51
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: act for a trans identified male to be in a

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: female only space. He suggested make a seeing call the

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: cops in if all us fellows punch him in the balls,

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: was his comment there, and this led to people saying

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: this is a hate speech, this is a hate crime,

56
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: and a calling for him to be prosecuted. Well, the

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: police have said now that he's being looked at as

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: it were, and well potentially facing a separate charge of

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: harassment due to appear in court tomorrow. He has received

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: a lot of support though, both from opposition MPs but

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: also JK. Rowling stepped into it, claiming that his arrest

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: was suggested the UK is now a totalitarian.

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: State now, jeez, I'll tell you what. Getting support from

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: New Zealand as well by the looks of things just

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: really quickly. Why are all these people in AfD dying?

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, very interesting about this because there are elections in

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: a very large northwestern state in Germany coming up and

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: the AfD, the Alternative for Right, the alternative for Deutschlan,

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: that is, the far right party, is putting forward a

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: number of candidates really hopes to do well. But it

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: is evidence that six candidates have died in recent weeks. Now.

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: The police are saying there is no evidence of any

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: foul play, but of course social media has gone into

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: absolute overspin here about this, and there are claims and

75
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: counterclaims about what's been going on. Elon Trust's tusk As

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Elon musk Rama has now intervened as well, saying to Germans,

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: either Germany votes AfD or it's the end of Germany.

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, feelings running high about all of this.

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: Wow, Okaykevin, thanks very much, appreciate it. Givin Gray, UK,
