1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Right now though we're going to the UK in the

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Brady is a UK correspondent in the Good Evening.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Hello, Ryan, lovely to speak to you again.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Great to speak to you now. Nigel Farage and his

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: crew the Reform Party, they have managed to top a

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: national poll for the first time.

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: They have and this is very very significant because they're

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: not really up and running that long. They've only got

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: five MPs. It's basically Forage and four other blokes. They're

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: all middle aged men mostly, and you know they're new

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: on the scene and they have really really set the

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: cat amongst the pigeons here this morning. So up until now,

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Reformers seen as a threat to the Conservatives. It's a

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: right leaning party, they have right wing policies and the

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: feeling politically was that the people they would be taking

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: votes from would be the Conservatives. And now nationwide they're

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: one percentage point clear of Keir Starmer's Labor, so Reformer currently,

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: if this poll is to be believed, on twenty five percent,

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Labor are on twenty four and the Conservatives have collapsed

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: to twenty one percent. So Foraj has a spring in

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: his step. He has already made it quite clear that

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: in four years time he wants to be strong enough

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: to run for prime minister. So they've certainly got the money,

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: They've got the publicity they always get in the newspapers

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: and on radio, on TV. But I think what they

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: need to do now is start finding candidates. You know,

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: they need to be in a position where they will

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: have not just dozens of people in constituency one hundreds

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: nationwide if they're to be serious. But right now I

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: would imagine Keir Starmer is very concerned because clearly this

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: is an indictment on his first seven or eight months

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: in office and his policies.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Two questions is the pole le jit and could we

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: see Conservatives start to change their allegiances.

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: The poll certainly is being taken seriously. All the major

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: news outlets are carrying it, so it is legit. But look,

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: we're four years out from another election, so polls come

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: and go. Let's let's see how people feel in four

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: years time Conservatives. I think people will start leaning towards

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: Forage because there's no great love for this new Conservative

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: leader Kenny Badenok. She's taking her time to bed in

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: and make her points, and I'm just not sure she

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: will be around him four years time. Forage is adamant,

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: he will be, but it's I think the problem today

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: is for keer Stammer that if these reform figures are

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: to be believed, he's eating into labor heartlands support in

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: the North of England, which and then particularly amongst the

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: working class. Labor has always prided itself on being a

49
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: party of the working class. And Forage privately educated former

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: hedge fund manager and stockbroker, you know Forage, and yet

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: he's able to punch through and talk to working class people.

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: It's fascinating what's going on.

53
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Sam Kerr, the Jussie footballer, expected to give evidence later today.

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: What's happening in court?

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: So this will be a big day for Sam Kerr

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: in this trial. It's scheduled to last four days. Today's

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: day two and she will be giving evidence in her

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: defense now. The trial got underway yesterday Kingston, the Pontames

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: Crown Court. It goes back two years end of January.

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Two years ago, she was on a night out with

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: her partner who plays soccer for the United States. Alcohol

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: was consumed and there was an incident in a taxi

63
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: where the taxi driver claimed his window had been damaged

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: He then rang the police and the police said, okay,

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: don't drop them to their address, come to the police station.

66
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: And at that point step forward PC Stephen Lovell. He

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: said in court that he witnessed car crawling through the

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: rear window, getting out with the taxi via the rear

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: window which was broken. He takes her into the police station.

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: All of this is on body cam. About thirty minutes

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: of body camera footage was shown to the court. Now,

72
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: the criminal damage arrest was sorted out on site because

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: she agreed to pay for the damage to the window,

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: the taxi driver claiming that she had actually shown him

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: her bank balance to prove that she had enough money,

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: and the taxi driver claiming that he felt this was

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: done to belittle him, the police officer saying that someone

78
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: like him would never have seen that much money in

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: his life. So whatever has gone on, she stands account

80
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: of racially aggravated harassment of a police officer because what

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: she said to Pc Lavelle was that he was quote,

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: I won't use the square word stupid and white, and

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: she said that three times on the body cam footage

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: that was played the court.

85
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: Not great luck is that the Princess Wales has Speaking

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: of great looks though, Princess of Wales has released a new.

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: Picture Yes since her in a forest looking radiant, sunshine

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: coming down and she has released this to mark World

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Cancer Day and a lovely twist. The picture was taken

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: by her son, Prince Louis, everyone's favorite little royal, real

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: character and he certainly has his mother's talent for taking

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: pictures because we know she's an accomplished amateur photographer. And

93
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: there is nothing wrong with what Louis has taken off

94
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: his mum. It's in all of the pic the newspapers

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: today this picture, so good on him and good on

96
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: her and I think, you know, we're seeing the new

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: generation of royals and how they communicate, and you just

98
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: think even ten to fifteen years ago they were not

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: doing anything like this. Kate really driving the agenda here in.
