1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Devin Gray UK corresponds with us right now even in Gavin. 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,199 Speaker 1: Hi there, Heather, So your economy has been flatlining. 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quite a depressing image for the Conservative government 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: at the moment. The economy absolutely static, pretty flatline for 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: the month of April. It was pretty widely expected. It 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 2: comes after record growth for the previous three months. But 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 2: this dip is a real problem. But it's a dip 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 2: because effectively the Conservatives have made the economy an absolute 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: central core issue to their general election campaigning now just 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: three weeks away. So, as I said, economists have predicted 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: this zero percent performance, saying that actually, wet weather a 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: very bad start to our summer, as I've been boring 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: everyone with, has really hit retail sales in particular, and 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: also construction output has really been hit hard. We've had 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: a lot of rain affecting that construction output. So over 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: the long term the picture is still more positive, but 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: it's a headline this government could do without. The recent 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: opinion polls are suggesting that Rishie Sunac's party is in 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: for an absolute hammering at this election, although I have 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: to say these opinion polls can sometimes be pretty far 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: out of the truth. Though everyone seems to think this 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: is what's going to happen. 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say so. By the sounds of things, it's 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: not going to be good. Hey, so what are the 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: cops planning for the anti monarchy protests? Yes? 26 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: Interesting, So Saturday marks a very very big day for 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: the royals really in that it's trooping the Color that 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: takes place right in the heart of London horse Guards 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: Parade near Buckingham Palace, and normally the monarch will make 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 2: this a big appearance of the year, and the King 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: is going to do that. But the anti monarchy group 32 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: republic wants to hold a protest as well. Now, fair enough, 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: all everybody entitled to their opinion. But they have now 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: been written to by police saying well, actually, according to 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: the European Convention on Human Rights, we're going to close 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: down that quoters, We're not going to let you protest there. Instead, 37 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: you have got to protest around the corner, away from 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: the public and away from the parade and away from 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: the media. Well, the Republican group is saying, look, this 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: is ridiculous, this is really spurious grounds that a protests 41 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: would deny spectators the right to enjoy the parade and 42 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 2: says human rights legislation quote does not provide a right 43 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: to enjoy a day out. Anyway. This is going to 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: go backwards and forwards, I sense here, But it is 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: seeming to be a remarkable sort of change in heart 46 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: from the police over how they police big events involving 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: the monarchy, or remember the row over the coronation and 48 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: how that event was marred by some Republicans. It was 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: argued and other Republicans saying, you know, we were only 50 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: making our voices heard, and yet you led us away 51 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: on police fans. Anyway, a big day coming out watch 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: this space on Saturday. 53 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: It's you're right, hey Denmark, how spicy are these noodles? 54 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: Oh well, I only like mild food, so way too 55 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 2: spicy for me. But Denmark has record several very popular 56 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: spicy noodle products by a South Korean company, claiming that 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: the levels of cap skin in them could cause poison 58 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: or for the consumers. I mean they're banning three flavors, 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: all pretty fiery from sam Yang the production company. Three 60 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 2: times spicy and hot chicken, two times spicy and hot 61 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: chicken and hot chicken stew have all been banned by 62 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: Denmark's food agency they're saying that effectively, the amount of 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: this product or this particular compound, which is what causes 64 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: the chilliness to hotness to eat when you're tasting it. 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: They say the amount is so high that it could 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: actually pose a risk to consumer developing acute poisoning. And 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: they're saying, if you've bought the products, discard them or 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: return them to the store, do not eat them. No 69 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 2: response yet from the company that made them. 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's something specific to peculiar to the 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: UK pellette if you know what I mean, So it 72 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: can't be yeah, yes or yeah. 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: They must like mild food you see. 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hi, thank you very much, Gavin, look after yourself. 75 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: That's Gavin Gray are UK corresponding.
