1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Of course, Inda Brady is not with us this evening.

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: He's running a crazy event in South America, like he

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: was telling us last week. So while he's doing that,

4
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: we've got Elizabeth Kellahan with us from the with the

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: latest from the UK.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Elizabeth, Hello, hello, Hello, thank you for having me.

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. What's the posblem this car ramming

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: in Liverpool.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a truly horrific incident that's taken place

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: yesterday evening. So dozens have been injured after a car

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: plowed into pedestrians during Liverpool's victory parade. Really truly horrific.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: So people were out what should have been a joyous

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: celebration of Liverpool winning the Premier League has turned into

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: chaotic scenes. So nearly fifty people have been injured, among

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: those four children. So one child is in a serious

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: condition hospital along with one other who is also seriously injured.

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: So police say they have arrested a fifty three year

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: old white British man from the Liverpool area. But really,

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: you know, there were tens of thousands of people out

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: on the streets of Liverpool and this car appeared into

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: this road. Witnesses say there was a confrontation with the driver,

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: people banging on the windows of the car then accelerated

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: into the crowd, people you know, diving out of the way,

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: trying to get their children out the way. It was

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: a very much a family event, tens of thousands of

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: people out there. It was about holiday here in the

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: UK yesterday, so just people there in a party mood,

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: a moment of jubilation. But really it has turned into

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: a truly horrific incident there. So yes, that's an ongoing

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: situation really about the Prime Minister says the scenes are appalling.

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: If it's not terrorism related, then what has gone on here?

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: What's his motivation?

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: Oh, we don't know. I mean the police are being

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: very tight lipped that what they don't want is there

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: to be a spread of misinformation and they're actually urging

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: people with social media footage to well not to share

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: any video footage on social media. That they have ruled

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: out terrorism and were very clear that they wanted to

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: say that it was a British white man from the

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Liverpool area. So we really don't know. I mean, how

41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: the car got into that packed street in the first place.

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: There would have been tight cornered off roads, so there

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: will be a big into investigation into how something like

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 2: this has taken place. But indeed the emergency services were

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: on the scene very quickly, as there are at these

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: big events. There were a lot of police and emergency

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: services there, so you know they were on the scene

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: very quickly.

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: Thanks all, Elizabeth. Russia's obviously denied, as it would any

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: involvement with the as andech on Keirstamber's property, but I mean,

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: am I five treating this as seriously linked to Russia.

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Well over the weekend there were reports in the UK

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: press that security officials were investigating the Kremlin's involvement in

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: these Armen attacks, which end up probably would have told

55
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: you about. Earlier this month, there was a vehicle fire

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 2: in Kentish Town and two properties in that either belong

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: to the PM or former homes. So the Kremlin spokesperson

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: has said that the claims are ludicrous and that London

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: tends to suspect Russian involvement in all things bad things

60
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: that are happening in Great Britain. But three Ukrainian born

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: men have been charged in relation to the attacks. They

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: deny the charges, but it's who knows. In this kind

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: of world that we're living in certainly the police will

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: be looking at all all kind of inquiries as to

65
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: who could be involved into these arsonal attacks on the

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: properties linked to Cay Stalmer.

67
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Elizabeth, Thank you appreciate. Elizabeth Callahan, UK correspondent. For more
