1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: The UK. We go and Gale down and joins us Hellegale.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Hello Andrew, well knit.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Migration is increasing the population to seventy two and a

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: half a million in the next seven years. That's the

5
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: next to ten million people. You're booming.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: We are booming and the projective figures come from the

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: Office of National Statistics, which also reveal almost five million

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: people are leaving the country to live elsewhere, so that's

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: ten million in and five million out. The government says

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: it wants to bring down the staggeringly high levels of migration,

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: but it won't put an arbitrary cap on the numbers

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: of people coming in. England is expected to have the

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: highest number of immigrants, with Northern Ireland the lowest. The

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: number of births and deaths between twenty twenty two and

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: twenty thirty two is expected to be equal, but there

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: will be one point seven million more pensioners now. Concern

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: has been raised by opposition MPs. The Shadow Home Secretary

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: Chris Philip so the number immigrating long term to the

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: UK was shocking and unacceptable. A government spokes and said

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: they would link immigration skills and visas to grow the

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: domestic workforce and end the reliance on overseas labor and

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: boost economic growth.

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: Have you got enough houses?

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's the big thing. And of course at the

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: moment the government is looking at how ways of encouraging

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: developers to build more houses, which is fine except that

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: many people don't want the houses in their backyard.

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: No kidding, all right. So the AMAB bombing in Northern Ireland,

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: when did that happen?

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: Oh, that was back in nineteen eighty eight.

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Forgive me, I figured the last interest are quite a

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: way away before.

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 2: The peace Sorry apologies, it was actually before the Good

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Friday Agreement, which it was just after the Good Friday Agreement,

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: which was the signing of a peace deal which brought

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: to an end decades of violence known as the Troubles.

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: So it was just you know, say it was four

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: months after that was signed.

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: So with having acquire an inquiry, an awful long time

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: after the fact that you have to say we're having

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: an inquiry into the bombing in Northern Ireland. It killed

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine people and the attack was under the real

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: IRA was the worst atrocity of the Troubles. What can

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: we report from today, Well.

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: What we know today is that two Spanish students were

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: killed in the bombing. They've been visiting the town of

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Omar on a language exchange group and written testimony was

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: heard from the families giving a bit of background about them,

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: about their personalities. We know that family members of other

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: victims are expected to give evidence either in person or

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: through their lawyers during the four week hearing. And as

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned, it's been a long time since that happened

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: to now and the inquiry is to determine whether the

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: bombing could have been prevented and the handling and sharing

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: of intelligence at the time by state authorities.

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,240
