1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: Kevin Gray. Are UK correspondents with us? Now, Hey, Kevin,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Hi there, Kevin. What's going on with the children's hospital?

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, deeply worrying. The internationally famous Great Ormond Street Hospital

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: is conducting an urgent review in the cases of more

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: than seven hundred patients. Now, as I said, it's internationally

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: famous for its work in treating very, very sick children.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: But at the moment, these seven hundred patients that they're

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: looking at are all children that have come under the

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: care of a consultant orthopedic surgeon called Yassah Jabbar. Now

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: he's not working in the UK at the moment. He's

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: working its thought in Dubai. But for a number of

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: years he was working at Great Ormond Street Hospital and

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: it's alleged there that he conducted inappropriate operations on children

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: but also carried them out poorly. Those are the allegations.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: He so far has not made any comment about this,

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: isn't contacting journalists responding to their cause, though he is

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: due to speak at a major conference in the Middle

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: East quite soon, so it'll be interesting to see if

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: he actually appears. So so far, they've looked at thirty

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: nine cases and they've said twenty two children had come

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: to some degree of harm. What does that mean? Well,

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: in some instances children have had nerve and muscle damage,

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: and according to a medical negligence solicitor, one client has

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: had to undergo an amputation of his lower limb. They

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: say they have clients with permanent deformities and those who

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: have undergone unnecessary operations. In fact, they didn't even need

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: the operation that was later conducted. So very very concerning allegations.

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: Of course, great Ormond Street Hospital relies heavily on donations

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: as well, so this is very very serious haunt.

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Hey, how do you pronounce this Chinese car giant's name?

31
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Sherry is the name of the kiny Chinese.

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: It looks like cherry, doesn't it. But apparently Sherrif is

33
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: looking at investing in the UK now. It is already

34
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: preparing to build cars in Spain, and its boss says

35
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: it's looking to take a localized approach to the European

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: market and said it was a matter of time before

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: the company made a final decision on the UK. Now.

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: The company's exports are said by critics to benefit from

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: unfair subsidies. As you know, this huge allegation that Chinese

40
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: government and the Chinese state is propping up its car

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: industry to flog its cars abroad for much cheaper and

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: undercutting those of other brands. But Sherry was set up

43
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven. It's one of China's largest car companies,

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: already the biggest exporter of vehicles from China, but it

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: has very ambitious to plans to go further. The problem,

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: of course is it is that much of the electric

47
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: cars from China are now under huge, huge tariffs from

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: the EU US. But if you build them in the EU,

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: you build them in the UK, then you can escape

50
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: from much of those tariffs. So that's possibly why they're

51
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: looking at the UK.

52
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: So not all of them, given just some of the tariffs,

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: they wouldn't they wouldn't be pinned with.

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: My understanding is if it's made in the UK, it's

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: made in the EU and sold within the EU, and

56
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: most of the car parts are manufacturing in the EU.

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: I told you it was complicated, then they would escape

58
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: all of those. But if they import a lot of

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: car parts then build them, it's slightly different.

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: I see. Okay, thank you for explaining that. Now listen,

61
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: what are we doing. Why have we got great white

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: sharks in Ireland and Britain.

63
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: Well, we think we have, but we don't know, and

64
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: that's why a big survey is being conducted by a

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: US nonprofit research organization. We do know that there are

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: a small endangered population of great white sharks and they

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: are off the Bay of Biscay and off in the

68
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: Mediterranean as well, it is believed. But these are endangered

69
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: and they are being encouraged by some who think this

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: is a great environmental thing. I'm not quite so confident myself,

71
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: but the question is have they come up as far

72
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: as Britain and Ireland. Well, fishermen are reporting seeing great

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: white sharks in the waters of Britain and Ireland, and

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: it's interesting. Island already hosts forty different shark species, like

75
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: the basking shark, Paul Beagle a shark. But yeah, the

76
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: fishermen off Galway in particular reporting that they have seen

77
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: the sighting of a deadly great white shark. Sadly, for

78
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: those that want this to happen, online sleuths discovered that

79
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: a video that had been posted was in fact actually

80
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: shot in Australia and not off the coast of Ireland,

81
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: but around one hundred UK Great White sightings were investigated

82
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: who found that a dozen remained credible. So that's what

83
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: they're looking at to see if they've made their way

84
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: this far north.

85
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,120
