1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Italy Time. Joe McKenna, Good morning, Good morning mate. So

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the yacht disaster we uncover that extensively last week. It

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: still continues on. Cutfield won't answer questions and they've broadened

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: the investigation.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: That's right. There are now two other crew members under investigation,

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Tim Parker Eaton, a British engineer, and sailor Matthew Griffiths,

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: who was reportedly on watch on the night that that

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: luxury yacht sank off the coast of Porticello. So those

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: three are really being targeted by the prosecutors. James Cutfield,

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: the New Zealander, now has two Italian lawyers who are

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: advising him, and some of the Italian reports are saying

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: he's terribly upset as you can imagine, and has even

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: been in tears during the interrogations.

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised. How long does this knowing the

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: wheels of justice grind Philly slowly in Italy, how long

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: do you reckon? All of this is eventually going to take.

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Well, it could take some time, particularly because the yacht

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: needs to be salvage, it needs to be brought to

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: the surface. Before they do that, they have to secure

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: the fuel supplies to make sure there's no leakage. That

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: could take several weeks, and I'm going on what happened

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: with the cost of Concordia. You might remember back in

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: twenty twelve it took I think eleven months before formal

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: charges were laid against Captain Francesco Scatino.

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Okay, now Maloney's back from holidays. This where she's steering

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: into a camera doing the video. I looked it up immediately,

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: but of course she's speaking Italian, and my Italian's no good.

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Therefore I had no idea what she was saying.

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: Well, I just thought it looked a bit strange. She

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: looked like she was coming back from a party, and

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: she started off by saying, hi.

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Here I am.

33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: I'm back, very chatty, very lively, dressed in a beautiful

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: yellow shirt, with a big smile. But she did say

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: I've been I've had my batteries recharge and I'm ready

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: to get to work. So she's got plenty ahead of

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: her with a budget and some regional elections coming up,

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: so she'll.

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Be busy, fantastic. And then speaking of Bridge, we're having,

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, the same sort of debate here regional autonomy.

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: So the government are looking at doing deals with local councils.

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: They've got no money, they want to do stuff. They go, well,

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: look you, if you agree to cap rates and do

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff, we can help you out

45
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: on some of the bigger projects. Is that the sort

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: of thing autonomy means in Italy.

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: This is about regional autonomy. It's a push by the

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: arguably wealthier regions in the north of Italy. They want

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: more control over their taxes and where their money goes.

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: And they're not really saying it publicly, but they don't

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: want their money and their taxes going to support the

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: poorer people in the south. What we're seeing is a

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: pushback from this federal move which has been approved in

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: the Parliament. Now the Campania region around Naples has far

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: As an appeal saying that this is illegal and so

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: it's far from over yet this fight.

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of the South, you're getting some late summer heat.

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a little bit of a breather last week, Mike.

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: Now the heat waivers coming back in thirty five thirty

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: six degrees in Rome and Florence, and we've hot We've

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: got heat warnings for Thursday and many parts of the country.

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: And what can you report on your health? Joe.

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: I notice you would think I was in the middle

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: of winter. I've got some sort of summer cold that's

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: been running around Rome.

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Dear, will you rest up and we'll look forward to

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: catching up with the next Thursday. Let's not shouted very much.

68
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: Tim Parker Eaton, by the way, it's understood to have

69
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: been in charge. These are the blokes on the yacht.

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: Tim Parker Eaton's understood to have been in charge of

71
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: adequately securing the yachts engine room and the operational systems. Meantime,

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,520
