1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: I want to turn our attention now to Brexit and

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: the new government being formed by the new Prime Minister,

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Teresa May. Rob Hutton, UK government reporter for Bloomberg in London,

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: has more tell us Rob about David Davis. He is

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: going to be the minister in charge of negotiating the

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: exit of Britain from the European Union. Yes, he is.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: This is terribly exciting. It's stickually exciting because David Davis

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: is one of those people who went campaigning for Brexit,

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: had a very clever plan, and now he gets to

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: implement his very clever plan. And working alongside him, really

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: doing trade negotiations will be Liam Fox, who also has

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: a very clever plan, not quite the same, very clever plan,

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: and working alongside both of them. The surprise appointment of

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: the evening will be Boris Johnson, the new Foreign Secretary,

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: who has three or four very clever plans for what

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Brexit will look like. Well, I think I'm so like

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned whereas Johnson, because I think a lot of us,

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're not the UK experts like you, but

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: we saw you know, Uh, he's appointed Foreign Secretary. How

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: is he going to how is he going to assist

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: the new brexits are tell us how this new clever

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: plan is going to work. Well, it's not exactly clear.

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: One way of looking at this is that Boris Johnson

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: has finally been given the opportunity to blow up. He's

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: been given a really big job that he cannot possibly

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: complain about, one of the biggest jobs in government theoretically,

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and also a job where unfortunately, the many, many rude

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: things that he has said we're currently debating which of

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: these we can print on our family news wire that

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: he has said about about foreign leaders will may come

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: back to haunt him. So Theresa may may have done

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: something quite clever in taking somebody who's a potential rival

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: and giving them the opportunity to mess up in a

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: way that actually wouldn't damage her domestically. Um, He's going

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: to be absolutely fascinating to see how how Davis and Fox.

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Both of them have been out of government quite a

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: long time. David Davis hasn't been in government since, uh

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: it since as one of my colleagues, but it's since

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: take that were big first time around. So it's going

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to see how they cope with the

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: biggest problem that Britain's faces. But the point about about

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: appointing them, from May's point of view, I think is

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: that these were people who are pushing for Brexit, so

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: their hands are now going to be dipped in the blood.

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: They've said it will be terribly easy to get a deal.

46
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: They've said we'll be able to get free trade access

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: to the EU. They've said we'll get a trade deal

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: with America, with South Korea, with whoever. Now we'll find

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: out if they're right, and if they're wrong, they won't

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: easily be able to blame her for screwing it up.

51
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Just quickly, rob David Davis, is there one particular piece

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: of information that we should know about him? Because he

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: is What you need to know about David Davis is

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: that he once resigned from Parliament to run for Parliament

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: against himself in protests that something that this is when

56
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: he was in opposition in protest that something that the

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: government was doing. He's a very interesting choice. Robert Hutton,

58
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: thank you so very much. I can hear it in

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: your voice, the glee you take it. It is amazing. Though.

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: This is such an exciting story, so interesting. Boris Boris Johnson,
