WEBVTT - The UK Report with Enda Brady - Thu 19 Jun, 2025

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>We catch up with him in the Brady, the garden

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:06.319
<v Speaker 1>through the barrel.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It down there big there a battle come down sun

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>in the garden into the undul comd of the cover.

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>By bye the god. Babit happening in Brady. We catch

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>up Tuesdays and Thursday is part of Australia over Night.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Eb, Good morning Tony. How are you babit happening? Yeah, man,

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just it's almost moment by moment at them.

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>At the moment it is.

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's been a busy couple of hours for the

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister. So we're hearing he has just finished chairing

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a meeting, an emergency meeting looking as iround Israel. And

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>what will the UK do if the Americans ask for

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>British help? Now the UK has air bases in the vicinity,

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>could it be that the Americans will ask to use them.

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 2>They may ask for refueling facilities. Armor basically is getting organized.

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I think something big is coming in the next twenty

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>four to forty eight hours. Trump is hinted at it.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Starmer has been given a heads up

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>by this. My genuine gut feeling is that he hasn't

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 2>been told something is definitely going to happen, but he

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>likes to be organized, so he called a COBRA meeting.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Sounds very dramatic. Actually stands for Cabinet Office Briefing Room A,

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>which is where the Prime minister goes to when they

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>have this emergency meeting. And he normally gets his military

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and security and defense people around the table, and he

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>asked the questions and they give him the advice.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>It's wonder watch. I mean it just who knows where.

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Nobody knows presumably really where this is going in the

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>coming hours, days, maybe weeks.

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I think the Americans have a decision to make. Clearly,

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Iran has been weakened by what has happened. The Israelis

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>are saying that they have complete control of Iranian airspace,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>so there's no risk of any aircraft being shot down.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Now do they go for the kill? Do they decapitate

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the leadership? Trump has already taken the social media saying

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>that they know where I told you Homine is and

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>they're going to leave him alone for now. You know

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that the language Trump saying, we're not going to take

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>him out brackets kill for now. Nobody knows where this

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>is going, but they have some big decisions to make,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think the real worry is a wider regional

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>war now in the Middle East. If they were to

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>do that, all hell would break loose.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll keep up to day in coming days. Ass Princess

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of Wales pulls out of Royal Escot. This is pretty

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>about the last minute too, isn't it.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very last minute. So Kate's name was on the

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>official kind of list of everything today because William was

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>presenting some of the prizes. Charles and Camilla went along.

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>It has been glorious sunshine. The racing looked amazing. Her

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 2>friends who went today, they've had a fantastic time and

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>everyone was very much looking forward to seeing the Princess

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>of Wales in the carriage procession, so you would see,

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, the golden carriage the Royal Mile. Previously we've

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 2>seen Queen Elizabeth. I I think she only ever missed

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>two or three Royal Ascots in seventy odd years. She

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>loved it. Charles is not so big a fan of

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the horses he has ridden over the years. He has

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>raced as an amateur jockey in Sandown I think nineteen

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>eighty one it was but he does not have his

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>mother's just absolute passion for horse racing. However, he was

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>there today and so is Camilla. William went along. But

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't know what's happened with Kate. You hope that

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>she hasn't had too bad a day, that it's not

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>some sort of you know, cancer related issue. She's had

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 2>all the treatment, but look, she's a young woman coming

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>out of a very difficult two years. So people are

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>just gonna have to be patient.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Have you been for swim today?

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I've been keeping cool. I'm not in London, so

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>that is good. I was on the tube yesterday and

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>it was hellish. So we are in a heat wave

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>here and before anyone in Australia gets carried away, it's

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>an English heat wave. So we're gonna hit thirty one

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Selsias on Friday in Australia came back. Why why go?

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Why it's a heat wave for us, teamac We've got

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>nine days of this coming, so we hit twenty seven today,

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>it will get hire thirty one Friday all through the weekend.

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>England looks amazing at the moment. Obviously I can't talk

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>about Scotland and wild but England looks glorious in the sunshine,

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're selling a lot of beer. If pubs are

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>lucky enough to have a beer garden.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>With a top of thirty one degrees, what do you

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>go planning for the weekend?

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>So one of my best friends from university, she is

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 2>having a fiftieth birthday party, So I'm going to go

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>along to that and celebrate with her and her family

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and just chill out. Maybe you watch some sport, Tony,

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>tell me who won State of Origin.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>The Queensland side. Oh well, okay, yeah, well it's been

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>an interest, so it's game on now. I didn't see

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it because I was having a nap, but I woke

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>up for the result and you're right. I don't think

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>anybody well I don't think the tipsters would have necessarily

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>said that, but it's going to be an interesting time

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>for those that love that.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Come on for the decider and well done everyone in

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 2>person up the stadium amazing well.

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 1>And they would add a full house stay. And the

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>other thing we've been talking about this morning and first job,

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>that first job, and when if you're writing your resume,

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>what was your first job? And then what did you

0:05:55.680 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>actually learn from that first job? That is stained all

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 1>the other things that you've done.

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.280
<v Speaker 2>That was a great question. When I was a kid

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>in Ireland, I spent every summer and we get three

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>months summer holidays in Ireland June, July, August. Best three

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 2>months of the year. I hanker after these days, Tony.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I lived with my grandparents for the summer holidays when

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 2>I was a kid, and would you believe us, my

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>granddad's local pub, they used to have me collected glasses,

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>the empty glasses. So I was maybe eight years of

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>age when I started doing that. And as I got

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 2>bigger and I was a tall kid, they used to

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>let me serve beer behind the bar. And what did

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I learn? I learned how to deal with people. And

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you saw the good, you saw the bad. And I

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>remember one day a guy just said to me, you've

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 2>got a lovely smile. You're a great kid. Keep working

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>hard and life will be good for you. And I

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>learned a lot from that job. I really enjoyed it.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I really really enjoy it.

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm a great proponent too, matter the idea of hospitality.

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 1>If you can work, survive and do even okay as

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>a youngster in hospitality, and that includes even places like

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>McDonald's these days, because the training they provide a young

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>people is quite extraordinary.

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it is, and look, i'd know training. Look this

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>is this was Ireland in about let me work it out.

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I started there in about nineteen eighty four,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and so there was no training, there was no health

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and safety, and you know, it was a working class

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>part of County Wicklow, where I'm proud that my ancestors

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and my grandparents came from. I absolutely loved that job.

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>And the pub has changed hands, it's changed name, but

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the little river still flows past us and I have many,

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>many happy memories of being in there with my granddad,

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>him nursing a half a glass of guinness and me

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>zipping around collecting glasses, washing glasses, drying glasses. And I

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>used to come home not a word of a life,

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Tony laden with coins. People would you know? They buy

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>their around the beers and they'd slip your quid. Yeah,

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty p. I have great sweets money as a kid,

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>good thing is teeth.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>That's true. That well, that's that's right. And you've got

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>most of that money left.

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it all went on sweets and fishing tackle.

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>If I remember correctly.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>You have a great weekend friends, and we'll talk to

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:27.640

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>God left team.

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Bye.
