1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: In the Brady UK correspondent with US allow Inda.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: Hey, Heather, good to speak to you again.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: So Starmer wants to move closer to Europe because of

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: what Trump proceed Ye.

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and look this is big actually. So for months

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: and months and months we've seen everyone in London just

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: doing their absolute best, bending over backwards. Nothing's been good

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: enough for this Trump administration. Starmer's done his best to

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: sit on the fencer, sit between two continents really, you know,

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: trying to stay friends with Europe and trying to have

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: that American ally relationship that's always been there. And I

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: think what has come out of Downing Street overnight is

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: basically they've had enough. He has come out and said

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: that the UK will be moving closer to the European Union.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: My prediction is within a decade and I said this

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: when Breggs hath happened. Within a decade. Now there will

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 2: be another referendum on rejoining the European Union for economic reasons.

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: But why Starmer is saying this, I think it's all

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: about defense and security.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Do you think there has to be a referendum and

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: will it be something that will just a decision that

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: will be tagging.

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, they'll have to have a referendum. But look,

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: the Cameron messed up royally last time round. People now

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: are seeing it London tumbleweed, no investment, the state of

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 2: the country, I mean just there's no growth, there's no money.

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Everything that was we were told would be project fear

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: has turned out to be project fact. And it's a sad,

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: sad state of affairs. But that was big, big announcement

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: from the Prime Minister last night and it's a big deal. Yeah.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: And what is your read on and the likelihood that

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Trump does actually follow through with these threats and pull

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: out a naito.

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he will. I don't think he will

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: at all. I think, you know, if we use that

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: acronym tacko, Trump always chickens out. I think what he's

37
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: doing is trying to bully people into going into his war,

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: and nobody in Europe wants this. We've seen the Spanish

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: close their airspace to American military aircraft and their bases.

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: Nobody wants this. He's losing friends left, right and center,

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: and I think what he's doing is actually creating European

42
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: unity like we've not seen in decades.

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: Into what is going on with the teenagers in London.

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: So this is all being organized via TikTok. Pretty kind

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: of strange events the other day in Clapham, hundreds and

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: hundreds of ballot clavit claud and hoodie wearing youngsters turning up,

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: meeting up outside a fast food restaurant and basically causing

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: chaos going into supermarkets and shops and shoplifting and really

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: really poor behavior and just a handful of police officers

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: on the scene trying to deal with it. So it's

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: all being organized, as I say, via social media, mostly

52
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: via TikTok. And the hope is that you know they've

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: got time off now the Easter holidays, that this is

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: not happening again. This weekend several big retailers had to

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: shut early.

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: Now I see the mayor signing London's a safe place

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: and then this has happening. I mean, you can't say

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: that with a stripeface, Kenny, when this is happening.

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a safe place. And I'll give you

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: one anecdotal example. The building I work in on Gray's

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: en Road. Pretty much every single person has had their

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: mobile phone stolen out of their hand on that street.

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: It's happening every day, and this is you know, you're walking.

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: It hasn't happened me, thankfully yet, but you're walking along

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: the pavement and someone scoots by on an e scooter

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: or an electric motorbike or a proper motorbike. And one

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: colleague happened to ten days ago on my program's group chat.

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: He sent a message yesterday with the screenshot of where

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: his mobile phone now is and it's currently in Guangdong

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: Province in China. So that's how quickly it's an organized

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: crime racket. They're stealing mobile phones, getting them out of London,

72
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: flying them to China, wiping them and selling them.

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting that that's happening. Act did Larry by the way,

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: did Larry catch your maskter iar?

75
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: Read Yes, finally it's already look, it's already taken him

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: fifteen years. Larry was probably David Cameron's best recruit. Larry

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: the cat at number ten Downing Street and certainly the

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: most popular resident there's ever been in Downing Street. He

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: was brought in because Cameron was upset. In twenty eleven,

80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: TV camera crew got pictures of a rat hopping across

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: the front step and it went viral, so Cameron went

82
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: off and got a cat. Larry was that cat and

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: would you believe it? Yesterday some photographers saw Larry actually

84
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: catching and house. It's only taken him fifteen years.

85
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Bless well done him, well done, thank you, thank you. Lida.

86
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,480
