1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondent with us Heyinda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 2: Hey, Heather, great speak to Yougham.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Have they got the power back on?

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: So they have, but the question marks persist about just

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: what went wrong so badly in Spain and Portugal yesterday

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: the whole Iberian peninsula wiped out no power for hours yesterday,

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: disrupting everything from schools, shopping, the Madrid Open tennis flights

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: coming in and out with airports. It was chaos for hours.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: So yes, the power back on today. Scientists are telling

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: us that it was a rare atmospheric phenomenon with a

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: huge temperature differential several kilometers up that was affecting the

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: power cables on the ground. I've never heard of this before.

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: My suspicion is that it just might have been a

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: cyber attack we haven't been told about. But look, it'll

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: all come out in the wash.

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: There is some kind of speculation going on online and

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: we've been warned about the speculation. But there is a

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: speculation online that nit zero is to blame because of

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: the reliance, especially at Spain, on renewables. Is there anything

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: to that?

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: So there is a point on that actually, so the

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: backup supply was powered by renewables, and a lot of

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: the scientific community are saying that, you know, renewables were

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: never meant to be the backup, that there should have

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: been other factors in there as well. And yes, so

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: when they went from Plan A to Plan B, plan

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: B was not working, So there is something to that.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, interesting, Now what is going on here with

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Kia Stama trying to get Trump the Open again golf diplomacy?

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: So everyone's been watching the Prime Minister of Finland, Alexander Stubb,

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: who studied at an American university and is a very

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: seriously good golfer. So this guy flew the other week

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: to Florida, popped up at Mari Lago and said the

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: fancy around and played with Trump against some other guys

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: and they won. Trump and Stub won, and Trump was

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: heard saying what an incredible golfer he was. Everyone in

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: the UK has been watching the Finnish leader get close

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: to Trump through golf, and now the papers here this

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: morning have it the Keir Starmer has instructed officials to

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: start looking at how the Open Championship can be given

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: to Trump. Turnbury in Ayrshire in Scotland. So that is

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: he owns two golf courses, one in Aberdeenshire in Scotland

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: and one in Ayrshire, which is Trump Turnbury. They haven't

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: had the Open at Turnberry since two thousand and nine.

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: Trump did not own it, then he spent about eighty

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: million dollars buying it in twenty fourteen. It's his and

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: apparently Trump has been making regular phone calls to Starmer

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: and the only thing he's interested in is getting the

49
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Open championship back to Turnbury.

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Inda, do you think kiss Arma feels even slightly embarrassed

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: at doing this on Trump's Behalfn't everybody watching him just

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: be such a lepdog?

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: I think they're all doing it. Every single country in

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: the world, yours included. Everyone is making him. You know,

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: he is a transactional president. He's out for as much

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: as he can get and I'm sure it sticks in

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: the craw of people like Kiir Starmer who modeled themselves

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: as public servants and decent, honest, right minded people. But

59
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,279
Speaker 2: Britain's look at our economic figures here flatlining, nothing's happening tumbleweed.

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: So they want the trade deal. They're trying to remedy

61
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: all the detrimental effects of Brexit and if allowing one

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: man to have a golf tournament over four days in

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: Scotland fixes the UK economy. I think most people would say, good.
