1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 2: Kevin Gray's out a UK correspondent with us now given

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: good evening to you hi there are now we've got

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: lots of messages of support pouring and for King Charles.

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Yes, quite a shock that to find out that he's

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: canceled today's engagements. He was due to have four different

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: engagements in Birmingham in the Middlands. They have been canceled

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: because of what are being called side effects from cancer treatment.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: And obviously we know that the diagnosis for the King

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: for his cancer came back in February of last year,

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: and we knew that he was being treated for cancer,

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: and the specifics have been kept pretty vague. But the

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: seventy six year old had gone by car, not ambulance

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: to the hospital and I think there's a general feeling

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: of playing this down. They just believe it was being

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: very careful with his symptoms and the doctors suggested that he,

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: on an otherwise good upward trajectory of recovery, has had

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: this brief setback and it's it's just not worth the

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: risk of him going to Birmingham and that he should rest.

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: It's said that he's back at his house in London.

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Clarence house near Buckingham Palace and is undertaking sort of

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: state papers reading those making calls from his study. But yes,

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: we do know that that tour today has been canceled.

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: We're being told that his tour to Italy, due to

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: take place early next month is still down to go ahead.

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: Well, good to have that update, givin thank you for that.

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: Now over in the EU, they've put out a list

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: of items that you will need and how long you'll

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: need to be self sufficient if there's a disaster. But interesting,

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: it's not just a natural disaster. There is military but

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: also cyber and techs are mentioned given.

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Yes, so this came from the Crisis Preparedness and Crisis

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Management Commissioner for the European Union and it makes them

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: start reading suggesting that in the twenty seven nation block,

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the four hundred and fifty million people there should stockpile

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: three days worth of food, water and other essentials in

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: case of a crisis. More than that, she's actually saying

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: the EU itself should build up a strategic reserve and

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: stockpile other critical resources, including firefighting planes, medical equipment and

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: assets against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. It all

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: sounds extremely depressing and worrying, and it's certainly making the

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: headlines here. Individuals advised to stockpile food, water, torches, identity papers,

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: medicine and shortwave radios. The Commissioner has basically saying that

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: it's not just fear of Russia and fear of war,

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: it's cyber attacks, climate change and disease. And the fear

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: is that these threats are getting more and more complex,

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: that they may be all interconnected, and that people in

48
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Europe should get themselves ready. It is certainly a very

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: very dark period in terms of fears across the European

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: Union and the deed around the world.

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 2: Well, you can take solace in a nice easter rig

52
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: for Easter, but they might cost you a little bit

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: more given.

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: You could take solace in at Easter egg if you

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: could afford one. Because according to a price watchdog group

56
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: here in the UK called Which, prices have risen by

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: as much as fifty percent compared to last year. Now.

58
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been out shopping for your

59
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Easter egg yet, run but the price of chocolate has

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: risen by sixteen and a half percent, so almost a

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: fifth outpacing an overall four point four percent increase in

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: the cost of supermarket food and drink. Why has chocolate

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: risen so much, Well, it is quite simply because of

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: the growing conditions. The global price of coco's risen sharply

65
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: in the last three years, reaching a record high in

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: January this year. The crops from West Africa in particular,

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: one of the world's main cocoa producing areas, really hit

68
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: hard by unusually dry weather in recent years, and where

69
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: some multiple or manufacturers have tried to absorb the prices.

70
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: It's now thought that in order to maintain quality, prices

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: have to rise. But not just the prices of eggs risen.

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: There is often a combined what we call shrink flation.

73
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: In other words, the eggs way less or are smaller

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: than the previous year, and yet are still being charged

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Go check out those prices in

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:22,960
