1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Devin Gray UK correspondence with US Sealo Gevin Hi the Heller.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: So Trump will be.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Happy, Yeah, he is very very happy. This over the

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 2: resignations of two senior people within the BBC, first of

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: all the big boss, the Director General, Tim Davi, and

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: also the head of News, Debra Urness, resigning as well.

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: All this over the editing of a documentary in which

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: there was one particular point at which they played a

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: clip from Donald Trump's speech on the sixth of January

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one when it was appearing on the program

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: as though he told supporters he was going to walk

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: to the US Capitol with them to fight like hell.

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: But what had happened was they edited together two sound

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: bites from his speech and the sound bites were more

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: than fifty minutes apart. And this is really for any journalist,

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: an absolutely criminal, you know, absolutely sid a prime don't

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: do this that you learn on day one about context

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: of editing things together and how it got passed and

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: through the BBC. While that probably investigation is still underway.

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: But the BBC chair Sam Ischhan called it a very

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: very difficult day and thanked particularly the head of the

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: News organization for transforming the corporation's output for news, but

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: welcome by Donald Trump, who's always called it fake news

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: and has been criticized in the BBC for, as he said,

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: quote very dishonest people who tried to step on the

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: scales of a presidential election. He posted that on truth Social. Meanwhile,

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: his Press secretary Caroline Levitt posted a trumphort two word

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: reaction on X using the drinking term shot to describe

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: reports that the US president was going to war with

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: fake news and describing the resignation of the boss as

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: a chaser, a drink taken after the shot to soften

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the taste of alcohol, and then added BBC is dying

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: because they are anti Trump fake news.

34
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Welly, how much weight do these north sea oil workers

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: have to lose in order to stay in the jobs?

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, some of them quite a bit, and thousands actually

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: it is face losing their jobs because they've been told

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: that they have to weigh no more than one hundred

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: and twenty four point seven kilograms when clothed. And that

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: is because quite simply, there are new regulations that come

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: in from next February, so a year's time from the

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: offshore Energy's UK the industry body that says the maximum

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: clothed weight for a worker heading offshore should be one

44
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four point seven kilograms, that's nineteen and

45
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: a half stone, so they can be winched to safety

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: in an emergency. Now, the Coastguard rescue helicopter winchload is

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: made up of a figure plus the average weight of

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: a rescue worker and the stretcher and the kit. So

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: when you add all those together, you don't know more

50
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: than two hundred and forty nine kilograms and that they're

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: saying therefore is the maximum. The industry body said more

52
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: than two two hundred workers are currently above the weight

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: limit and jobs could therefore be lost if they don't

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: lose the weight. Now, the industry body says the average

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: weight of offshore workers has risen by almost ten kilograms

56
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: since two thousand and eight, and the decision to implement

57
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: a safe weight limit for those offshore workers on the

58
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: rigs across the North Sea that's to the north and

59
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: east of Scotland follows a review by industry experts over

60
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: the past two and a half decades. But yes, two

61
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: two hundred people told effectively dart or lose your job

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: to be fair.

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty kjesus pretty generous to them. I

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: would have thought now on the homelessness, it's a bigger

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: problem that you guys actually realize.

66
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, that's right. New figures out from the charity

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Crisis claim that it's a much bigger figure than is

68
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: currently being put about by the government. The charitisas the

69
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: number of people facing the worst forms of homeless and

70
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: has grown by a fifth in three years. They now

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: say that figure stands at three hundred thousand, and that

72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: is basically they're saying the real figures is based on

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: people declaring themselves as homeless, which Crisis says does not

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, always happen people are homeless, don't declare themselves

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: as homeless, and that's why they believe the figure is

76
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: much worse than it is and is getting much much

77
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: worse quite fast. They say it is quite unsuitable for

78
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: people to be put up in bed and breakfasts and

79
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: properties far away from family and friends. And they say

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: an additional eighteen thousand, six hundred families are living in

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: what they call unconventional accommodations, such as in their cars

82
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: or in sheds or intents. So they are saying yeah,

83
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: these figures are big underestimate. The government's saying, look, we've

84
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: invested some two billion New Zealand dollars in homelessness in

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: the last few years and a big figure just a

86
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: year on you in the last year too, and they

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: say they're doing their best. But yeah, the charity makes

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: that look like not enough and not soon enough.

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,280
