1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: And Devin Gray are UK correspondents with US. Now, Hi, Gevin, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Hi there you glued to this as well. 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: Well, it's you know, very difficult for the news cycle 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 2: here because of the timing. It's ten to six in 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: the morning. The newspapers had to sort of put on 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: their front pages guesswork and all the rest. But it's 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: interesting they've actually focused on the social tension in America. 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: The Daily Mail with the headline tinderbox America on knife edge, 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: the Daily Mirror pray for victory, Brace for chaos, obviously 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: siding there with Kamala Harris, and The Guardian Hope and 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: fear as well with a picture of Kamala Harris. So 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: there is an awful lot of interest of courses. You 13 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: would expect no reaction from our leaders thus far, but 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: being so early in the morning, that's probably not not 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: terribly unexpected. But I think lots of people obviously it's 16 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: been massive coverage over here as well. Indeed, people have 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: been complaining probably too much coverage, perhaps even more coverage 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: than our own general election. So yes, we vote for 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: we wait rather for the vote of the Americans. 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's hard to speak if you're one of 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: the world leaders before Carmela has even spoken, so I 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: could kind of understand that. Listen to what's going on 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: with you guys in your country. I see your government 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: is planning to ditch those smoking band plans. 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: Yes, a bit of a surprise this because it was 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: well trailed this to attack on trying to really get people, 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: younger people not to smoke, and one of them was 28 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: to ditch is to get plans to really force people 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: not to smoke outside of hospitals and outside of schools 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: and also in pub gardens. Now, of course you're not 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: allowed to smoke inside a pub, but the government when 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: they first of all thought about banning garden pub and 33 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: also restaurant restaurant gardens for smoking, I have seen to 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: sort of backtrack on that now with the Health Secretary 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: saying and I quote, you didn't want to cause further 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: armed to the hospitality industry saying people don't want to 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: see their high streets going down the pan. This is 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: in response to a massive, I think, sort of backlash 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: to those proposals to bangarden pub garden smoking, just saying look, 40 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: you know it really is key and at the moment 41 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: things to their business are extremely sensitive Indeed, the British 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: Beer and Pub Association representing twenty thousand pubs, said it 43 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: welcomed the change of heart, adding that pubs would have 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: led to this band would have led to many pubs 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: shutting their doors and jobs being lost. So we're going 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: to have to see what's what they're going to crack 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: on with now. But the government's certainly having a retake 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: after a lot of feedback that was negative about these 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 2: pub gardens and restaurant gardens being banned. 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: You're too right, Hey, how's Camilla is? 51 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: You're right? Well, it's interesting that the general thing is 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: it just appears to be a chest infection, but the 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 2: seventy seven year old has canceled all her appointments. This 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: hope she may be able to do something for the 55 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: forthcoming Remembrance Day commemorations coming up. But apparently on the 56 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: way back from Australia they stopped off at a health 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: spa in India and then on the way back apparently 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: not feeling terribly well either. So she's only been back 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: in the UK a short while that this chest infection. 60 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: According to doctors Day, she needs to rest. What we're 61 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: not being told because of course It's private, is how 62 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: and close Charles is getting. King Charles is getting to 63 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: Queen Camilla because with his cancer treatment he doesn't obviously 64 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: want to pick up any infections. And the chest infections 65 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: doing the rounds, the bugs doing the rounds in our 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: early winter here have been really, really widespread and also 67 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: pretty tenacious rumors of some sort of chest infections lasting 68 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: some people several weeks before they could get rid of them. 69 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: So they're playing on the safe side for the Queen Camilla, 70 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: and I think she's been told to effectively rest for 71 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: a few days. 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: Kevin, good to talk to mat.
