1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: Devin gray Are UK correspondent, is with me now, hey, Gevin,

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Hi there? Hell Okay, So this chap is about appear

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: in courtsy.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: Yes, Roman laveronoritch Is his name is a Ukrainian national.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: He's twenty one and has been charged in connection with

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: fires at two properties and a car linked to our

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Sakir Starmer. Now he's been charged with three

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: counts of arsen with intent to endanger life. He was

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: arrested in southeast London in the early hours of Tuesday

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: and we expect him at Westminster Magistrate's Court in the

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: heart of London in the next couple of hours. The

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: charges relate to three instants. So there was a vehicle

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: fire in Kentish Town in North London. This was a

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: vehicle that Sekir Starmer had sold before he became Prime

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: Minister to a neighbour. Then there was a fire at

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister's private home on the same street. He

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: no longer is living there because although he owns it,

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: it's said to be rented out. He of course lives

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: at the official address in Downing Street. And then there

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: was a fire at an address that he had previously

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: lived at in Northwest London, but no longer owed. But

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: that involved fire officers having to help people down the

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: staircase using breathing apparatus. Anyway, the Metropolitan Police's counter Terrorism

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Command unit is looking at this due to links to

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: a high profile figure. That's all we're being told at

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: the moment. We may get one or two more details

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: in court.

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: All very interesting. And now this chief suspect in Medler

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: McCain's disappearance is coming out of jail how much later

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: than originally shield Well.

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: Christian Bruckner is his name. We thought he was coming

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: out of jail in September, but that's been pushed back

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: to early next year. Why does that make a difference, Well,

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: because he is wanted for questioning about the Maddie McCann case.

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: Of course, Madeline McCann disappeared in Portugal with a family

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: holiday prior to delusion that resort there in two thousand

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: and seven. Now the fear is that when Christian Bruckner

38
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: is released from prison, he will leave the country and

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: go underground and basically disappear. He is a man with

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: a very very checkered history. He's currently in prison convicted

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: of raping a seventy two year old American tourist in

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Portugal in two thousand and five, just two years before

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: Maddie McCown's disappearance. But he also has a number of

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 2: other past misdemeanors where he has been sentenced as a child,

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: sex offender, forgery, drug theft, defense is a history of

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: sex offenses and a drifter being lived in Portugal's Algarve

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: region on and off for years. To be clear, he

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: has never been charged with anything in connection with Maddie McCann.

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: He equally says he's had nothing to do with it.

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: But he also has had a conviction overturned. As it were,

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 2: he was found not guilty of three counts of rape

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: and two council of child sex abuse, and police are

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: hoping to get an appeal underway for that, and the

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: best way of doing that is knowing that he is

55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: already behind bars. So it looks like he's going to

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: stay there until January. And this, believe it or not,

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: over an paid fine.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Kevin, So, why is it that the people who were

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: on board that luxury yacht that tipped over, why didn't

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: they know that the wind could do that?

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very very good question. So there is

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: an investigation underway into the death of the seven people,

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: including the man called sort of Britain's Bill Gates, the

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: entrepreneur Mike Lynch, a billionaire, and six other people and

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: they were off the coast of Sicily when their luxury

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: super yacht sunk in August last year. So there is

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: an investigation underway and they are also in the process

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: of raising the boat now. The interim report being conducted

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: by the UK's Marine Accident Investigation Branch, that is because

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: the yacht was registered in the UK, says that winds

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: of eighty miles an hour roughly one hundred and twenty

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: two kilometers per hour violently hit the vessel, causing it

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: to flood within seconds. There had been questions about where

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: the windows had been open and the hatch had been

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: left open. This injuring report suggests no. It suggests that

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: the yacht was not to a ninety degree angle within

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. At four in the morning. The crew heard

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: there was a storm on the way and were busy

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: trying to prepare for that, but simply didn't have time.

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: Some pretty harrowing evidence as well about how those on

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: boarder tries to use furniture as a ladder to try

82
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: and get out of their cabins, but as we know,

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: so many did not succeed, although fifteen people did manage

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: to escape, but nevertheless, howther More details coming out about

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: how this operation to raise the fifty six meter vessel

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: will be.

87
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,120
