1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: We had Dan Mitson out of the US telling us

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: that they import nine billion dollars worth of wine into

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: the United States and a lot of that coming from

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: the EU. A two hundred percent tariff would be massive.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: How are they feeling about this over in Europe? How

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: are they feeling in the UK? Givin Gray's our correspondent,

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: given good evening.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: I really rattled they are actually the wine producers in

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: particular France, Italy, Spain or really angry about this, thinking

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: that they're being unfairly picked upon. Meanwhile, Donald Trump calling

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: the fifty percent tariff planned on US whiskey and nasty tariff,

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: saying it's a hostile and abusive and has accused the

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: European Union of being formed for the sole purpose of

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: taking advantage of the United States. Well, that is where

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: the European Central Bank President Christine Legard has stepped in.

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: She's a very senior figure in the world banking industry,

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: and she's of course European, but says the EU had

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: no choice but to retaliate, saying everyone's going to suffer

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: and if the dispute develops into a full brelogne trade war,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: that will be very, very serious. As you can imagine.

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: But she's certainly lending her support to Europe on this

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: and has described his comments about the Europe being created

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: almost for the sole reason of taking advantage to the US.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: She said that is just historically inaccurate and frankly nonsense.

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: So a great deal of concern from alcohol producers here,

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: both in the UK, Ireland, Irish whiskey of course, a

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: massive export to America as well, but mostly it did

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: those continental wine producers who are most fearful of this

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: massive tariff threat.

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: And you just don't know where the next tear going

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to be put, do you. I mean that's the other problem.

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Is there a sense that you might have actually dodged

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: not being in the EU anymore, that you might have

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of dodged a bullet. I know, you're getting steel

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and aluminium like everyone else, but.

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there is. There's the hope that, if anything,

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: may expedite trade talks, but of course might expedite to

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: our disadvantage. But either way, I think a lot of

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: people think we really need to get these trade deals

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: sorted out. It's taken so long following Brexit for two

41
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: countries that are supposed to be good friends and getting along.

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: This trade deal between America and the UK has been,

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: you know, just plodding along at snail like pace, taking

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: so long. And certainly it would seem that former presidents

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Joe Biden and to a certain extent as well Barack Obama,

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: we're in absolutely no rush to get that underway. Indeed,

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: it was Barack Obama who famously said after Brexit that

48
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: the UK would be at the back of the queue

49
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: awaiting its turn for this trade deal to actually take place.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: That's right. What about this n judge who's been convicted

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: in the UK forcing a young woman to work as

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: a slave.

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's a High court judge in Uganda as well.

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Forty nine year old Lydia mcgumby has, according to prosecutor,

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: has taken advantage of her status over her victim. She

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: basically forced a young woman to work as a slave

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: for her in the UK and she's now been found

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: guilty of conspiring to facilitate the commission of a breach

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: of UK immigration law, facilitating travel with a view to exploitation,

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: forcing someone to work, and conspiracy to intimidate a witness.

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: She's going to be sentenced at the start of May,

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: and in footage released by police which was taken into court,

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: she seemed absolutely stunned when an officer said that she

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: was being arrested under the modern Slavery Act, saying I'm

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: a judge in my country, I have immunity, I'm not

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: a criminal. But she nevertheless has been found guilty here

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: and this is all about how she was allegedly kept

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: a woman to work for her at her home, almost

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: like for free childcare as it were. And it's something

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: that the police have really been clamping down on, actually,

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: the numbers of people being brought into the UK with

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: a promise of a great job and then effectively having

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: their passports taken off them in some instances, being told

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: they can't leave the house, and then being for to

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: work very very long hours but very very little, if

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: any money.

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
