1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: And we're going to the UK Gale Downies with us

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Hi Gail, Hi, Ryan. Lovely to have you on the show.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Tell us about the It sounds a bit like our

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: government yours is fighting for growth.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has been

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: talking about a major announcement for a week now and

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: today is the day she's going to make that major announcement,

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: which is expected to include the government giving its support

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: for a third runway at Hethrow Airport, together with expansion

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: plans at Gatwick and Luton. So the government can't prejudge

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: the results of any planning application, but the boss of

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: Heathrow has said the airport needed a clear steer from

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: the government by the end of this year. He's argued

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: the expansion is needed to keep up with rival airports

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: in Europe which have fewer passengers and more runways. Are

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: given examples so he Throw had eighty million passengers in

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three and has two runways. Meanwhile, Skipple Airport

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: at Amsterdam has six runways, dealing with then and sixty

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: million passengers a year. However, any plans for expansion a

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: third runway have been opposed in the past and probably

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: in the future by environmentalists and residents living near the

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: airport and even some labor MPs. The Tories say Rachel

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: Reeves plans have been hastily cobbled together.

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Goodness, mate, let's talk about these numbers. You've got for

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: us a healthy food, a basket of healthy food versus

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: a basket of not so healthy food. What's the difference.

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: The difference is that a basket of healthy food, so

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: it cost around sixteen dollars for basically a thousand calories

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: of healthy food, is twice as much as that of

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: eight dollars for the equivalent of less healthy food such

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: as ready meals and process mates. And it's analysis that's

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: been done by the UK charity, the Food Foundation, which

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: is worrying them because it says low income families simply

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: can't afford to eat healthily. So how it calculated is

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: it took the average price of four hundred and fifty

36
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: food items that are used by the Office of National

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Statistics to calculate monthly inflation. It then graded the foods

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: on their nutritional value and that the concern, of course,

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, is the fact that so many households

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: it's estimated eight million households in the UK are dealing

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: with food insecurities and have cut back on healthy food

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: because of that.

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Interesting basically double, isn't it? The bear stuff costs you double?

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Speaking of expensive for you is a brut and for

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: me is a key. We we in basically, anyone who's

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: outside of the EU, we're going to have to pay

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: more to see the Mona Lisa.

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it's part of a major refurbishment of the Louver

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: where the Mona Lisa is housed. And it was the

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: French President Immanuel Macron who talked about the expansion plans yesterday.

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: In fact, he's running an international competition to find out

52
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: to find an architect or planner whoever to design the refurbishment.

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: And he says that he's taking the Mona Lisa from

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: its current position in the loop, going to put it

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: into a separate exhibition space. Alongside that, as you say,

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: non EU residents like yourself and myself are going to

57
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: be charged more. He hasn't explained why we're going to

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: be charged more, but he just said we will be

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: charged more.

60
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: I suppose someone's got to pay for it, don't they.

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: And it looks like it's our scale. Thank you. It

62
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: is that scale downy have a great day. A UK
