1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with INSI Eye Insurance, Peace of mind for

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: New Zealand business.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: Goodby two. It is now thirteen to six. We're off

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: to the UK. Kevin Gray, Hello, Hither Angel, pump and

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: ceremony as a Manual Macron comes to the UK for

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: the very first time since two thousand and eight, for

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: the very first time since Brexit.

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Yes, a three day state visit. The red carpet being

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: rolled out quite literally. He's just spoken to Parliament saying

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: that the UK and France have a duty to tackle

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: illegal migration with humanity, solidarity and firmness. Some people in

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: this country don't believe France is doing enough to prevent

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: the small boats from leaving their shores, and the tens

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: of millions of New Zealand dollars that the UK has

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: given to France to tackle the problem has simply not

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: been used for that purpose. Nevertheless, there's a state banquet

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: at Windsor Castle this evening and so far a great

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: deal of warmth from all the dignitaries towards Immanual Macron.

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Haven't seen any protests either, and of course the UN

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: very very keen to be slightly warmer towards Europe under

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the new Prime Minister of Sekiir Starmership Sakis Starmer and

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: his premiership rafter the rather tough Brexit use. But there's

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: another thing. The French are still very very angry at

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: the orcust deal, the deal between the US, Australia and

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: the UK over its defense and the canceling at late

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: notice of a submarine contract between Australia and France which

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: then led to the announcement of ORCUS a short while later.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: So a few apologies I think on the way, and

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: well hopefully some better news for him at home as well.

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: It's always slightly evolved with Orcus. And here's the thing.

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: The Australians went for the deal with America, and then

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: of course in came Donald Trump, who says, I don't

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: really want to worry too much about global global issues

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: in global pex. So maybe it's all bit of a mess.

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: We'll see. Now, three men have been found guilty of

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: an asonatech on a London warehouse and it's got Russian

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: so it's some reason involved. Yeah, that's right.

38
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: So a two twenty three year olds and a twenty

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: year old were found guilty today of aggravated arson with

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: intent to endanger life at an industrial unit. The reason

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: it's so important is this particular warehouse the company sent

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: aid and internet satellite equipment to Ukraine, so when it

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: suddenly burnt down seemingly without cause, a few eyebrows were

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: raised and it was said that they a group had

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: orchestrated this arson attack on behalf of the Wagner Group,

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: or the Wagner Group, which is of course the Russian

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Mercenary Group. The UK government has prescribed this group as

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: a terrorist group, and it was said that roughly two

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: point three million New Zealand dollars worth of damage was

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: caused in the attack at the warehouse. But of course

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: it did mean as well that production also was disrupted

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: and that, no doubt is what the Russians were after

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: all along, not like in the fact that Ukraine was

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: receiving business and aid from this particular group shipped humanitarian

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: aid and goods to Ukraine, including the so called Starlink

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: satellite equipment that's crucial for Ukrainian troops as they work

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: out where the enemy is. And so consequently this was

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: a bit of a setback, it's thought to that and

59
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: a big warning from the Crown Prosecution Service here that

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Russia cannot view the UK as some kind of a

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: soft target with which to do its dirty deals.

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: Getting Gray out of the UK. I thank you so

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,920
