1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: In the Brady's Ow UK correspondent high Enda. 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 2: Hey, Heather, great to speak to you again. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Is this vessel going to Cyprus not sailing until next week? 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly it, so big change of plans. It 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: had been earmarked for another operation they've had to cancel that, 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: change things around, put different weapons on board. Look, we're 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: given all sorts of excuses as to why it's taking 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: so long, but I think the events of the last 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: few days here have really highlighted here just how kind 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: of off the pace the UK military is in terms 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: of everything, In terms of absolutely everything operational deployment. They 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: don't have a single vessel anywhere in the Middle East, 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: and that's the first time in fifty years. So that 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: should give people an indication of just how little money 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: and interest has been paid to the UK military for 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: a couple of decades. 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: I guess I mean, obviously embarrassing for you guys and 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: not what you want, but also probably the hurry up 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: that you need, don't you think. 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, they've had four years of a war 21 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: or in Ukraine to start planning and start getting things 22 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: at operational level and just even down to how you 23 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: deal with drones just for example, what the Uranians are 24 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: firing costs twenty six thousand dollars a pop. What the 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: Brits have been firing at them cost two million dollars 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: a pop. So economically, who's winning that argument? I mean, 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: they need to start learning. They need to sit down 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: with the Ukrainians who figured out how to bring down 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: drones really really quickly and cheaply, and the UK military 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: just needs an upgrade because this is not good. 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: How weak does Stama look at the moment? 32 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: Really weak? Another flip flop of the weekend, you know, 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: initially telling the Americans they couldn't use British air bases 34 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: and then very quickly changing his mind. Trump's roth came 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: very quickly and has not stopped since. So domestically weak, 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: and he's starting to look weak on the international front 37 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: as well. So you know, make a decision, stick to 38 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: a decision, deliver the plan, and he seems quite incapable 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: of doing anything really. 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: Into How serious does this news that three men have 41 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: been a risk on suspicion of spying for China. 42 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this again is embarrassing for the Prime Minister 43 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: because from what I'm hearing, all three are connected to 44 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: the Labor Party and Starmer was in Beijing just a 45 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, first UK prime minister heading there 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: in eight years, and of course he signed off on 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: China's massive new embassy plan in London, which will be 48 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: their biggest embassy anywhere in the world. So it does 49 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: not look good. Three men arrested, properties searched in London 50 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: and in Wales and one in Scotland. And the man 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: in Scotland who was arrested, I understand is the husband 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: of a female Labor MP. Now obviously it's a live 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: police investigation. They're in custody. But again, you know, this 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: story keeps repeating itself, people in and around Parliament being 55 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: picked off and arrested by counter terrorism cups and the 56 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: allegation always is that they're spying for China. 57 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: Is it William? Is this your understanding that it's William 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: who's kept Andrew's daughters away from scott. 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what the whisper is. So Beatrice and usually 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: have been told do not appear, not in the carriage procession, 61 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: don't go racing, don't be at Royal ascot And I 62 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: think what you're seeing is William doing all the housekeeping 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 2: that his dad should have been doing many many years ago, 64 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: and indeed his grandmother as well. So William is the 65 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: new broom sweeping clean before he even gets into the house. 66 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Is it fear on them though they've done nothing wrong? 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: Well, you say that. I would advise people to go 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 2: pick up a copy of a book called Entitled by 69 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: Andrew Loney. My understanding is he's currently working on a 70 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: follow up book called Untitled, and have a read around 71 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: and just look at the behavior. Basically, I think once 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: they remove Andrew from the line of succession, there will 73 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: be no choice but to takeout Beatrice and usually as well, 74 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: and the entire house of York falls and people can say, 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: you know, the sins of the father whatever. These are 76 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: fully grown women now, and you know their mother took 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: them to visit Epstein the week he got out of 78 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: prison for abusing girls. You just couldn't make this up. 79 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: I just think the whole house of your custod goal. 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Inda, thank you very much for time, mate, look after 81 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: yourself over there.
