1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: With us. Now is Kay Oliver, our UK correspondent.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Hello, Okay, hello to Heather.

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Give me the immigration numbers because that off the.

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Chats well absolutely, Now this is an extraordinary vision of

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: the government estimates. But if the growth that we currently

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: have continues, we're going to have fifteen new cities the

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: size of Birmingham by twenty forty six. Now, the Office

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: of National Statistics has released these figures showing us staggering

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: nine hundred thousand people were added to the UK's population

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: for the year ending June twenty twenty three. That's twenty

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: two percent higher than the original numbers, which in itself

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: was an all time high. So we've got to secure Starmer.

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: The new Labor Prime Minister basically accuse the previous Tory

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: government of using Brexit to pursue an open borders experiment.

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: And this latest study has shown, for example, that you've

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: got places like Middlesbrough with a population that was standing

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: at around one hundred fifty thousand. They've had a four

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: point four percent increase in just that particular area alone.

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: So you've now kind of got more in depth breakdowns

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: of where everyone's heading to.

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: So is this actually immigration that's been pursued by the

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: government ors it sort of just arrived on your doorstep.

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a bit of both of this

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: going on here that this is the big question. I mean,

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: some of this obviously is legitimate immigration into this country,

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: and then you've also got this more uncontrolled immigration going

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: and we've got these boats coming in. But now a

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: lot of these people are kind of genuine people who've

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: come in and they've they've been the families of careers,

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: people working in the National Health Service, and they've actually

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: been allowed to come in as long as they've made

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: the hit the criteria of earning a certain amount of

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: money and bringing something into this country. But it would

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: seem that if it carries on, this is an absolute

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: population explosion.

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Hey does chep the former British soldier Danial

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Khalif sounds like an absolute numpty, doesn't he?

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: Well he is. This is the chap who escaped from

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: the category b WS was prison by tying himself with

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: old inmates trousers. He may managed to make a sling

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: and got himself on the underside of a food delivery

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: Lorrie last September. He was on the run for three

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: days he's finally gone to court and now he's been

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: found guilty. He's twenty three years of age. By the way,

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: former soldier. He has been found guilty of handing information

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: including a list of soldiers, some of whom were serving

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: in the sas, to Iranian spies. Now jury has rejected

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: his claim that he was actually undertaking a one man

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: double agent mission. His own lawyer said it was more

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: more like Scooby Doo than James Bond. So we wait

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: to see what sentence is going to be given out

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: to him.

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: All right, you have done the research on how does

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: chep got to live to one hundred and twelve? What

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: have you got?

56
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Well? I did, because today is Friday. And it seems

57
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: that John dennisaur did love his fish and chips. So

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: that's what he was. That's what kept him going for

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: a hundred and twelve years. I mean, he was born

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: the same year that the Titanic sank. And apparently he

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: was also a lifelong fan of Liverpool Liverpool Football Club.

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: So as I said to you, he loved his music.

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: So there we go the secret to long life.

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: So football, music and fish and chips.

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you've got it.

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I can go. I can get on board with that.
