1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Devin Gray are UK correspondence with US. Hello, Gevin, Hi, 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: why are the cops and examining the flight records free 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: the Epstein files? 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's been reported but not confirmed that quite potentially 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein might have flown in on the aeroplane the 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 2: so called Lalita Express some eighty seven times. So the 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: disgraced form of financier, the late disgraced form of financier 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: was flowing in. It's being reported to Stansted Airport, which 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: is big airport, it conducts international flights. It's north and 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: east of London, but it is one of the sort 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 2: of more relatively minor ones acquieter airport, and the former 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Gordon Brown is demanding the police re examine 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: whether Epstein's victims were trafficked within and outside of the UK, 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: because he says this really needs looking into now. The 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: BBC's reported that three British women who were allegedly trafficked 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: appear in Epstein's records of flights in and out of 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: the UK, alongside other documents relating to the convicted sex offender. 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: So what Gordon Brown is saying is, look, we need 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: to thrash this out. This needs sorting out. We need 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: to do some research, and he says the scale of 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: trafficking will become apparent if an investigation is conducted into 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: the flights. Now police say they are merely looking at 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: it and assessing the information that fall short so far 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: of a full investigation. 25 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: What's France's problem with the soil. 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: Tanker, Well, it's the world's problem with what are called 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: shadow fleet oil tankers. So these are dubious vessels registered 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: around the world. They seem to not necessarily always have 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: their satellite systems switched on, so they're quite difficult to 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: plot where they are going. But it is thought these 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: aging tankers are basically being used in a clandestine network 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: to evade Western sanctions of Russian oil exports. So in 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: other words, they're being used to carry Russian ail around 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: the world which would otherwise be subject to see and 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: it's all being done under the cloak of being these 36 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: sort of shadow fleet as it were. And France said, well, 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: when one got in French waters, we basically took it 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: and arrested it. They said they've now released it, but 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: only after the payment of several million euros. They haven't 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: said exactly how much the tanker was seized by French 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: forces in the Mediterranean last month. Diverted to Marseille the 42 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: port and then founded that set so off from Mamansk 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: in northern Russia and was flying under the Camorris flag. 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: So that's why France was suspect about that. There are 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: lots of these vessels, incidentally, and now France is demanding 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: other countries, particularly those in Europe, when those vessels get 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: into their waters, they should be seized immediately. In January, incidentally, 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: British Armours forces supported a US operation to seize a 49 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: Russian flag tanker in the Atlantickevin. 50 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: How are those unemployment numbers looking? 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Not good? Not good at all, particularly if you're young. 52 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: So the overall rate has climbed to five point two percent, 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: that's the most now for five years. But the big 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: headline is that for those age between sixteen and twenty four, 55 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: sixteen percent are unemployed. That's one in six of that 56 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: age group unemployed. It's the highest figure for modern ten years, 57 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: and lots of employers are saying this is a problem 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: the government's own making. They've increased the minimum wage for 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: the very youngest workers. They are also now increasing the 60 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: tax on every employee that an employer has on its books, 61 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: so no wonder now people are employing less, particularly young people. 62 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: Kevin go to talk to you or talk to you 63 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 1: in a couple of days.
