Enda Brady: UK correspondent on Keir Starmer claiming work needs to be done to keep the ceasefire going

The UK's Prime Minister says there is a lot of work to do to make the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran hold. 

Iran's Revolutionary Guard says shipping has once again stopped through the Strait of Hormuz following Israeli attacks on Lebanon. 

The US rejects claims Israel's attacks breached the ceasefire agreement - because Hezbollah was never apart of it. 

Parties are expected to meet in Pakistan later this week to further discuss Iran's ten-point proposal. 

UK correspondent Enda Brady explained further.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Brady UK correspondence with us Elowinda.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hey, Heather, good to speak to you again.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, so key is and the golf is he Yes.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
He is a two day trips starting off in Saudi
Arabia and it's interesting. I think what he's trying to
do here is patch up relationships because the UK hasn't
got involved in this war of Trump and Israel's has
stood completely back, and I think some partners and allies
in the Gulf have been slightly concerned that the lack
of support, not that they were wanting them to join

(00:31):
the US and Israeli war in Iran, but in terms
of defending them from drones and attacks, the UK just
doesn't have the military hardware anymore. We've seen the military
here degraded a lot of the investments, you know, just
year on year. I think successive governments have taken a
view that spending on defense is not a vote winner,

(00:52):
and that's where Starmer is right now.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And how embarrassing then, is it fit to have laid
down the law to potent and then have potent Mocker
with a warship in the Channel.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yes. Look, the relations with the UK and Russia are
at an historic law. I have interviewed the Russian ambassador
four times in the past four years, all around the
Ukraine invasion anniversary, and they openly mock the UK. They
laugh at the leadership. Whether it's conservative or labor, they

(01:22):
don't care. It's a dire, dire situation at the moment,
and I think a lot of people feel that eventually
there will be some sort of conflict. But yeah, look,
Putin does what he does, and the UK right now
just really doesn't have the means to do very much.
In a response, yeah, you're right. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Listen. Has someone been putting around the idea that that
picture of the two hundred and fifty dogs is ai.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yes, and the Orris PCA has responded and said it
is categorically not a You may have seen this photograph online.
It's awful what they discovered. Two hundred and fifty dogs
old poodle crosses in one home and the inspector from
the RSPCA who found them, took that picture and that
was the picture that the RSPCA put out with the story.

(02:11):
Now it is a correct picture. A lot of the
comments and a lot of dog lovers piled in saying
there's no way anyone would keep dogs like this. This
is AI. It's all made up. It is not AI.
You have to trust the charity that is as respected
and as hard working and cares as much about animals
as the RSPCA. And the really serious note apart from
this awful situation, they uncovered at this property two hundred

(02:34):
and fifty dogs in a cramped space. Basically the key
line from the press release from the RSPCA. They've dealt
with four thousand, two hundred such incidents what they call
multi animal incidents in the last year, two hundred in
England alone. That's not siy.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Hey, what happened with Princess Diana's lady in waiting?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
So she's been caught speeding again. This is Anne Beckworth's smith.
She lives in Kensington in London. She's been up before
the courts. You hit twelve points on your license here
and that's normally you off the road. Now she was
cut doing thirty six in a thirty zone, speeding again
in front of court. And yes she was Diana's lady
and waiting for years and years and a very very

(03:17):
close friend. She's seventy four now. She told the court
that she has a seventy seven year old brother living
in the town of Salisbury in Wiltshire, which I reckon
would be maybe a six hour round trip by carr
from Kensington in London. And she told the court that
they couldn't possibly take her driving license away because she
looks after her brother. He's in a care home and
she does so much for him. And then the prosecutor

(03:40):
turned to her and said, what you've not told the
court is that you have a second property you own
in the town of Salisbury. So is it beyond the
bounds of reason that you could stay there and use
public transport? And he said, why didn't you tell the
court you have a second home in Salisbury and she
said nobody asked. So the judge gever a six month

(04:01):
ban from driving, So there you go. Uh, Diana's lady
in waiting won't be driving for the next six months.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Nobody asked, don't use that one. Hey, thank you in
the look After You Stulf. We're talking to you next
week into Brady UK Correspondent.
