1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: UK correspondent Inda Brady is with us this evening. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 2: Hi Inda Cloud and Clear. How are you? 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, very well, thank you. How you've got an update 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: on the Medal McKain situation for us. 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: Yes, So this story and this ongoing case makes the 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: papers yet again here today because a German detective has 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: given just a few words in public about the case. 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: There is a man on trial for a string of 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: sex attacks at the turn of the century, early two thousands. 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: His name is Christian Bruckner. He denies charges and that 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 2: trial is still ongoing in Germany, and a detective involved 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: on the German police inside has said now publicly that 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: they have discovered a hotmail account and an external hard 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: drive and he said that contains evidence linking Bruckner they 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: believe to the disappearance of Madeline McCann. So this is 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: the first kind of public acknowledgment of any of the elds. 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: We've long suspected that the German police know an awful 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: lot more than obviously they're going to tell the public, 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: But this is the first time they've acknowledged that they 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: do have a link between this guy Brewner and the 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: disappearance of Madeline McCann. Now, Quinn pushed the detective did 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: not reveal what was in the emails or what is 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: on the hard drive, but it's clear he is the 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: main suspect. 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: It's eighty years, eighty years since the day, and of 26 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: course that anniversary has been commemorated. 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: Yes, so it's a huge day ahead. You'll see a 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: lot of live coverage news events coming from Normandy in 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: the next four or five hours. There are handful of 30 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: men and women who were there still alive. Some of 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: them are past one hundred now and they have traveled 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: all the way back to Normandy. So in all honesty, Jack, 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: this is probably the last big commemoration of D Day 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: with veterans present. I've been listening to their stories on 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: radio this morning. Extraordinary men and women, what they did, 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: what they went through, what they gave for Europe and 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: the world years ago. Today it was the single defining 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: moment really of World War Two, swung everything in the 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: Allies favor and King Charles will be there later today. 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: The Prime Minister Rishi Sunaku is traveling as well, and 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: we're told Joe Biden has flown in from the United States. 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: So a huge, huge event and it was interesting. Charles 43 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: spoke at an event on the South Coast in England yesterday, 44 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: surrounded by veterans, and he was visibly overcome with the 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: motion as he sat down after speaking, wiping tears from 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: his eyes. I think it was all a bit too 47 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: much for charlds. 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and how's that sort of how will this event 49 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: do you think be seen by younger generations in the like? 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: You know, what does the how does a generational divide 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: play into today? Or you know, is there a scence 52 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: that younger generations appreciate the significance? 53 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: Well, I think when we've got war in Europe on 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: our doorsteps, not two and a half hours out of London, 55 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: in Ukraine a moment, I think it's very fitting that 56 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: we should observe and pay tribute to these men and 57 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: women and what they did in the face of utter 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: tyranny eighty years ago. It is happening to European neighbors 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: of ours not that far away right now. So I 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: think anyone who anyone who doesn't listen or watch this 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: today just needs to think. You know, we have situations 62 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: in Europe at the moment that could spiral even further 63 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: and come closer to our doorsteps. 64 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: And of course we are into the uk election campaign 65 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: and there has been a huge boost for Nigel Farage 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: in the latest Paul. 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: Yes. So his party is now called Reform. This was 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: born out of UKIP and Breaksist and everything he helped 69 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: deliver over the course of the last eight years. He 70 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: is now standing for parliament, which is a big deal 71 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: certainly in the media bubble. Will he get elected eight time? Lookye, 72 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: he's run for parliament seven times here and he's never 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: got in, so it'd be interesting to see if he 74 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: does so. This latest poll has Reform on seventeen percent. 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: Why is that important? The Conservative Party, the ruling party 76 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: of government right now on this poll, are nineteen percentage 77 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: point So there's a two percentage point gap between these upstarts. 78 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: As some would see it, they are very right wing 79 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: Reform and the Conservatives. And I think rishis next big 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: headache is that Reform voters will traditionally be older people 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: who have always voted Conservative and are now disgruntled with 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: him and Forage everywhere he goes. He even gets hit 83 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: with a milkshake the other day, laughed at all smile, 84 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: gave interviews, just keeps going, Sunak has problems. 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, so does this affect Labor's position hitting into the addiction, 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: you know, meaningfully? Or is there are scenes that all 87 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: of the support for Raj and reform is ostensibly coming 88 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: from people who would have otherwise been Tory voters. 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're Jack. I think Labor won't be 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: worried about Faraj and the slightest, but they will benefit 91 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: from him because in key seats, and it will get 92 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 2: really key in some places, you know, floating voters, elderly conservatives, 93 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: if they desert sooner and give their vote to reform, 94 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: that strengthen's labor. So Labor candidates I don't think will 95 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: be that bothered about reform really, maybe in one or 96 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: two seats up north, but I think overall they will 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: be rubbing their hands with glee and just delighted that 98 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: the Conservative vote could splinter. Now, these poles may well 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: be wrong, but as it stands, Keir Starmer is nailed 100 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: on to be Brits Prime Minister on July the fifth, 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: if you believe the polls. 102 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right. As we've learned in recent years, 103 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: there's always a big if. But I mean, certainly the 104 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Labor goes into this campaign with a huge, huge lead. 105 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: They're being said. You know that the campaigns so far 106 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: has been interesting in terms of momentum, right, because those 107 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: first couple of days were terrible for issue. Sooner he'd 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: announced the election and the poor rain you had the 109 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: song playing in the background. He went over to Ireland, 110 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: ended up doing a press conference in the Titanic, the 111 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: former Titanic neighborhood, which was, you know, a kind of 112 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: visual disaster for him. But I would have thought that 113 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: he was benefiting from a little bit of momentum out 114 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: of that televised debate with Kostama the other day and preps. 115 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: This poll has kind of deflated him from you know, 116 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: whatevern momentum he might have been enjoying in the last 117 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: day or two. 118 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right, Jack. I watched the TV 119 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: debate and I think Suna behaved like a boxer in 120 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: the twelfth round who's just been told by his corner 121 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: that the previous eleven rounds have gone to the other 122 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: guy and you need to land a knockout punch. So 123 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: he was extremely aggressive from the get go, talked over Starmer, 124 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: talked over the moderator as well as Julie Etchingham. You know, 125 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: he was very aggressive and quite rude, I thought, and 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 2: it really struck me, the body language and sunak how 127 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: he behaved. I thought, you know, two years almost as 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: Prime Minister, we've never seen him behave like this. He 129 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: just looked a little bit desperate and adrift. And the 130 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 2: one thing he did say, Labor now denouncing is a 131 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: massive lie four thousand dollars per person tax trizeer Labor 132 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 2: get in Labor are saying this is an outrageous life. 133 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Hey, thank you so much for your time, Inda, 134 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: We really appreciate it.
