Speaker 1: The UK Report. Good morning, Inda Brady, how are you?
Speaker 1: Isn't much of a story over there in the UK
Speaker 1: of people talking about this whole situation much?
Speaker 2: They are fair? Yeah, look it's huge couple of lines
Speaker 2: on this. So the Prime Minister here, Starmer, is heading
Speaker 2: into an emergency meeting right now. Oh really, number ten,
Speaker 2: Downing Street. So when the British government is dealing with
Speaker 2: a crisis, or there is an impending international crisis, they
Speaker 2: go to what they call COBRA level. Sounds very dramatic.
Speaker 2: Cobra like a big dramatic biting snake. Actually stands for
Speaker 2: Cabinet Office Briefing Room A, right, so it's quite anodyne. Really.
Speaker 2: They go to a briefing room in the Cabinet Office
Speaker 2: and it's briefing room A. So Starmer will be in
Speaker 2: there with his defense people, security officials, all his intelligence people.
Speaker 2: They're trying to figure out what's going on. Now Trump,
Speaker 2: I've just seen him speak on the lawn at the
Speaker 2: White House on TV. He was asked directly the question
Speaker 2: will you attack Iran? And he said I may or
Speaker 2: I may not. That was how he answered it. So
Speaker 2: he seems to be fifty to fifty either way, I
Speaker 2: think what Starmer's trying to weigh up that if America
Speaker 2: does get involved with Israel and they go after Iran
Speaker 2: even more, what kind of support will the UK, if any,
Speaker 2: offer to the United States. It could be use of
Speaker 2: British air bases in the region. There is raf facretary
Speaker 2: on Cyprus, it could be refueling. They may well offer
Speaker 2: fighter jets. We don't know, but Starmer right now is
Speaker 2: trying to figure out a response, trying to figure out
Speaker 2: what's happening and trying to figure out a response.
Speaker 1: Usually from memory. Whenever there was a Cobra meeting, this
Speaker 1: had to do with internal security and also threats of terrorism.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this encompasses that.
Speaker 2: So you're right. Normally when the UK government goes into Cobra,
Speaker 2: it is as a result of a terror attack in
Speaker 2: one of our cities, or British nationals have been attacked abroad.
Speaker 2: It's generally something very very domestic and UK related. But
Speaker 2: this would relate to UK troops. So I think what
Speaker 2: Starmar is doing is just being prudent and trying to
Speaker 2: work out a plan that if it comes to it,
Speaker 2: and you know, there's a good relationship, a very good
Speaker 2: relationship between the UK and the Trump administration, as evidenced
Speaker 2: by that deal that was signed the other day, a
Speaker 2: trade deal. But clearly Starmer was at the G seven
Speaker 2: and had no idea and no heads up about what
Speaker 2: Trump plans to do. So I think right now he's
Speaker 2: trying to just get organized.
Speaker 1: Does this come across as as an organized meeting or
Speaker 1: something that's been hastily put together.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think Starmar does hasty. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: a lawyer, he's a very meticulous man. He's quite studious.
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people call him boring. I
Speaker 2: don't think Starmer does hasty or off the cuff. I
Speaker 2: think he likes to be organized, and I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: been thinking this the back of his mind since coming
Speaker 2: back from Canada and the G seven, that you know,
Speaker 2: we need to kind of have a plan, and that's
Speaker 2: what we're seeing.
Speaker 1: So you watched the White House front lawn chat that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump had the malong night call it more chat
Speaker 1: than a press conference, because I thought he seemed very
Speaker 1: nonchalant and incredibly relaxed for a man who's got all
Speaker 1: of this on his shoulders. What did you what impression
Speaker 1: did you get from his demeanor?
Speaker 2: Well, it was the usual chaosic, rambling communication. I mean,
Speaker 2: it started off about a flag pole, and then suddenly
Speaker 2: he's talking about the guy who sets the interest rates
Speaker 2: in the Federal Reserve Bank in America. Then the usual
Speaker 2: jibes against Joe Biden and the previous administration. Then he
Speaker 2: started saying, how these guys who are putting up the flagpoles,
Speaker 2: one of them could be a movie star. Started talking
Speaker 2: about Iran and Israel. So it's I call it word salad.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like he tosses everything up in the
Speaker 2: air and what lands in the bowl gets served to
Speaker 2: the people. So it's a very strange way of running
Speaker 2: an administration. Bus I do think the United States seems
Speaker 2: to be leaning towards attacking Iran.
Speaker 1: But he didn't seem to be at all in any
Speaker 1: sense of hurry. He didn't seem to be in any
Speaker 1: sense of you know, life. He never is, no, but
Speaker 1: he seemed more so, I thought. I thought in this
Speaker 1: particular case, I was really surprised at how relaxed he seemed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very laid back. But ultimately other people will
Speaker 2: be doing the work, you know. He will sign off
Speaker 2: on it, and defense chiefs and military people will have
Speaker 2: to put a plan into action and make it work.
Speaker 2: Bus what happens if he attacks Iran? And then not
Speaker 2: that far away in Katar, you have a huge American
Speaker 2: military base called Al you died. I've actually been there.
Speaker 2: It is vast, it's in the desert Guitar. There are
Speaker 2: thousands of Americans on the ground there. So he needs
Speaker 2: to be very, very careful because Iran clearly will not
Speaker 2: be able to strike the United States of America on
Speaker 2: American soil, but they could destroy the airbase with two missiles.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's something nobody wants to think about.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to a huge house explosion in London.
Speaker 1: This is a terrible story.
Speaker 2: What happened exactly, So emergency services college to a place
Speaker 2: called Stoke, Newington, northeast London. Two reports of what, on
Speaker 2: the face of it looked like a gas explosion and
Speaker 2: a house in bits and they found the body of
Speaker 2: a woman in her forties inside. Now she's been named
Speaker 2: as Annabelle Rook, someone who worked very closely with women
Speaker 2: who had been the victims of domestic violence and gender
Speaker 2: based violence. And she was dead God help her. She died.
Speaker 2: On the face of it, it looked like she died
Speaker 2: in this gas explosion. Then what happened was closer examination
Speaker 2: of her body they found stab wounds. The working theory
Speaker 2: police are looking at is that somebody killed her and
Speaker 2: then set about creating this gas explosion to make it
Speaker 2: look as if she had died in a non sinister way.
Speaker 2: A man in his forties known to her has been arrested,
Speaker 2: So God help her. It appears that she herself has
Speaker 2: become a victim of domestic violence.
Speaker 1: That's a terrible story. On a line of note, I
Speaker 1: see here that you've mentioned that you're heading into a
Speaker 1: heat wave. Heat wave by your conditions compared to Australia. Mind,
Speaker 1: it's freezing Carldia. How hot is it so?
Speaker 2: Right now? Twenty seven celsius caused much of the southeast
Speaker 2: and south of England and London thirty one celsius. It
Speaker 2: will get up to on Friday in the Capitol and
Speaker 2: this is going to last they reckon maybe another six
Speaker 2: or seven days. Now. I know Australians will be rolling
Speaker 2: their eyes and saying, oh the Brits their heat waves
Speaker 2: and they touched thirty one celsius. They think it's hot.
Speaker 2: We're never going to get to Marble Barle in Western Australia.
Speaker 2: It's just not going to happen here. But it's interesting.
Speaker 2: The Meteorological Office, who deal with weather patterns in the
Speaker 2: UK and forecasts, they've come out today in the newspapers
Speaker 2: and said we need to start planning for forty celsius
Speaker 2: summers in the south of England. Really, that's the way
Speaker 2: it's headed.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about you, funnily enough, talking about the weather.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I read this story
Speaker 1: about whether or not Vladimir Putin could attack a Britain,
Speaker 1: could attack Britain by blocking out the sun. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you'd heard anything about this.
Speaker 2: But actually did a TV show the other day on
Speaker 2: this stop at THEO Engineering as they call us.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, so it's actually a thing.
Speaker 2: It's a thing. I have to hold my hands up
Speaker 2: and say, Phil. I read as many articles and newspaper
Speaker 2: clips as I could about and I still didn't understand this.
Speaker 2: I had some brilliant scientists on the program and climate
Speaker 2: change experts, and they explained it. But look, I think
Speaker 2: we've seen Putin in operation on UK soil, and what
Speaker 2: he does is he sends his operatives. I don't think
Speaker 2: he's going to block out the sun to spike the UK.
Speaker 2: I'd be more concerned about what we're seeing, this kind
Speaker 2: of cyber warfare, hybrid warfare and very suspicious incidents involving
Speaker 2: UK infrastructure. You'll remember a couple of months ago we
Speaker 2: spoke about the electricity substation near Heathrow Airport suddenly catching
Speaker 2: fire and all the power being lost at the airport
Speaker 2: and flights being canceled for twenty four hours. That still
Speaker 2: doesn't add up to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a point. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2: A very very unusual thing to happen.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the story, well just a bit of it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they could use sola engineering this is Russia to use
Speaker 1: technology to reflect light away from the Earth back into
Speaker 1: space by dimming some of the clouds. Well right, I mean, like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you're going to threaten somebody with something that's pretty good,
Speaker 1: you know, don't make me come over? Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that literally is.
Speaker 2: One level manni evil genius stuff.
Speaker 1: It's it is a new level of the metaphor throwing shade,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Don't make me come over there and throw
Speaker 1: some shade. Literally, hey, listen.
Speaker 2: To block out your sunlight.
Speaker 1: Don't make me block out your son. Can I get
Speaker 1: you to hang on a set because I've got a
Speaker 1: couple of other things i want to talk to you about. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's our end of Brady in the UK. We'll get
Speaker 1: back to him in just a moment and we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about a couple of other things that are
Speaker 1: going on. Twenty three minutes past one. Doctor Carl Kruziniski
Speaker 1: coming up in a moment answering the questions that you
Speaker 1: texted is through last week with ask doctor Carl. But
Speaker 1: we've got end of Brady on the phone. Thanks for
Speaker 1: hanging on there. I want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: a couple of things just to wrap up, one being
Speaker 1: the football and the situation with Andrew posta Cooglu, who
Speaker 1: of course was with Spurs managed to get them a
Speaker 1: bit of silverware, but now he's gone.
Speaker 2: He is and the Tottenham chairman has put a video
Speaker 2: today saying or explaining why he made that decision. So
Speaker 2: a lot of people, Spurs fans and non Spurs fans,
Speaker 2: feel that he's been badly treated winning them a major
Speaker 2: European trophy. They've done nothing for years and Big Ange
Speaker 2: wins the trophy and gets sacked. Now I think Ange
Speaker 2: won't be out of a job very long. He has
Speaker 2: admirers all over the world now, after all that publicity
Speaker 2: and that amazing night in where was it in let
Speaker 2: me think Northern Spain that night built bow when they
Speaker 2: won the trophy. So Levy, Daniel Levy is the chairman
Speaker 2: of Tottenham Hotspur. He's come out today in a video
Speaker 2: and he said, look, we want to win the Premier League.
Speaker 2: And he said it was very difficult to sack Ange.
Speaker 2: He said, we are friends, there's an emotional connection, but
Speaker 2: he said we want to win the Premier League and
Speaker 2: finishing seventeenth last season just was not good enough. So
Speaker 2: despite winning European Trophy, they took the view that Tottenham
Speaker 2: are a long way away from winning the Premier League.
Speaker 2: And now they're bringing in this Danish guy from Brentford
Speaker 2: called Thomas Frank who they have described as a superhuman
Speaker 2: and he's going to take a lot of superhuman efforts
Speaker 2: to get that Tottenham team competitive next year, starting August seventeenth,
Speaker 2: I think in the EPL home to Burnley. So they've
Speaker 2: just come up from the championship. Sports should beat them handling.
Speaker 1: And if people don't realize, if they don't have an
Speaker 1: idea about English football, if you're a football manager in
Speaker 1: the UK, you can be a superstar, more so than
Speaker 1: a lot of the players, Maurinho being a great example,
Speaker 1: Alex Ferguson. Of course, with Men United being a gooner,
Speaker 1: we'd never ever be able to replace Arsen Vega. If
Speaker 1: you can get yourself into a position like Paso Cooglu,
Speaker 1: you can becolm somewhat of a national treasure without ever
Speaker 1: kicking a ball.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, household name. And some people will love you,
Speaker 2: and some people won't like you. They'll never have met you.
Speaker 2: But I know people who would not be in the
Speaker 2: same room as Jose Mourinho and they don't like him
Speaker 2: because of his time at Chelsea. And then you will
Speaker 2: guess Tottenham fans who will hate Arsene Wenger. But these
Speaker 2: are successful men. They're loved because they're successful, and then
Speaker 2: the same reason is why people don't like them. So
Speaker 2: it's a shame. You know. The one thing that the
Speaker 2: names you've mentioned there, Alex Ferguson, Marinho, Wenger, they're all
Speaker 2: given time, you know, there was well, that's it something
Speaker 2: and big and has not been given the time and
Speaker 2: he still was building something and won a trophy. So
Speaker 2: it's a real shame for him, and I think it's
Speaker 2: a shame for Tottenham.
Speaker 1: Mind you, those names that we both mentioned there came
Speaker 1: from a different era where they were given a lot
Speaker 1: more time. And why the world is at the moment
Speaker 1: this is a whole other conversation. Everything's got to be
Speaker 1: done immediately now. As you said with Mourinho, some people
Speaker 1: will love you, some people will hate you. Brings me
Speaker 1: to an email that I got from Ed who Ed
Speaker 1: Who's in Irana Hills in Brisbane. Who actually said it
Speaker 1: to Mike Jeffries, but it came through into my box
Speaker 1: and he said that when I was discussing the chat
Speaker 1: we had last week how you went to Peru? He said,
Speaker 1: I'm a thickhead because I didn't actually talk to you
Speaker 1: about your visit to Machu Picchu. So could you just
Speaker 1: elaborate for EDGs, just so I can get out of
Speaker 1: these bad books. How you experienced was there?
Speaker 2: Oh? With pleasure? Ed It was an extraordinary experience. So
Speaker 2: we were picked up at four am. We were in
Speaker 2: the city of Cusco. A minibus came and got us.
Speaker 2: It was an organized group. If you're going to Peru,
Speaker 2: if you're going to match you piachu, go with an
Speaker 2: organized group. So you'll have a lot of people flogging
Speaker 2: tickets and I can get you this, I can get
Speaker 2: you that. The only issue four and a half thousand
Speaker 2: permits per day. So the Peruvian government clamping down on
Speaker 2: over tourism and all these rogue traders. So go with
Speaker 2: someone you trust. You're going to spend four hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty US dollars. That's what I spent now for that.
Speaker 2: We got picked up in a minibus. There was a
Speaker 2: train to a town called Aguas Calientes, which is the
Speaker 2: nearest settlement or town beside Matchw Peach And then when
Speaker 2: we got off the train, there was a minibus driver
Speaker 2: there who took us up to the gates of the
Speaker 2: park and you go in and you hike from maybe
Speaker 2: twenty minutes and there in the middle of all these
Speaker 2: extraordinarily beautiful mountains. It was a scorching hot day. It
Speaker 2: looked like the gates of heaven were opening up in
Speaker 2: front of us. And Matthew Peachew, you look down on us,
Speaker 2: you can find my Instagram that in the Brady e
Speaker 2: Ndaight b or a d y and you can see
Speaker 2: some of the pictures I took of it just off
Speaker 2: my phone. It was stunning. I mean, I need to
Speaker 2: go get a book and learn the history of the place.
Speaker 2: But how they built it there, how they survived for
Speaker 2: so long. I didn't see any source of water in
Speaker 2: the area whatsoever, certainly not near Matcha Peachu. It was brilliant.
Speaker 2: And the one other thing I did fill which was
Speaker 2: very good value for money, we did an organized tour
Speaker 2: up Rainbow Mountain. Now go on a search engine type
Speaker 2: in Rainbow Mountain, Peru and check this out. So a
Speaker 2: glacier has receded and beneath the snow four or five
Speaker 2: years ago, these extraordinary colors came screaming out of the mountainside.
Speaker 2: The altitude was the same level as Basse Camp Everest.
Speaker 2: It was very difficult. There wasn't much oxygen in the air.
Speaker 2: But we hyped up there and that was even more
Speaker 2: beautiful than Matchu Pichu.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go on your Instagram page to have
Speaker 1: a look at that. You've sold it to me, mate,
Speaker 1: lovely to touch you. Stay cool out there, with your
Speaker 1: heat wave and we'll touch you next week. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Enda Brady how UK corresponded there and as
Speaker 1: I said, get onto his as he said, get onto
Speaker 1: his Instagram page and have a look at some of
Speaker 1: the photos he took to when it was in proof
