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

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now, hey Inda, hey Heather, great to speak to again.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, into have they told us the five bodies they're
found on the yacht. Who these people are?

Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, but the newspapers here certainly seemed to think that
Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah, who was eighteen, are
among the five that have been recovered or found inside
the cabins. So a terribly grim day really yesterday. The
Italians have brought in specialist divers, the best maritime search
teams in the hole of Italy from the mainland were

(00:31):
flown to Sicily. They got to work and they brought
with them these kind of robot camera vehicles that can
go down and operate underwater, and they prized open a door.
They used some sort of hydraulic jam to prize open
a door to get in access to the accommodation on
board the yacht, and it was in there that they
found the five bodies. There is still one person missing,

(00:54):
so the search will resume again. And you know, it's
just such tragic, tragic situation. A lot of questions being
asked about how we yacht that size managed to sink
in sixty seconds and also how virtually all of the
crew got off and six or seven passengers didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And these bodies were found apparently behind metriss which what
does that suggest that they were trapped.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I think they were all inside, there were asleep inside
their cabins, and it happened so quickly. I mean, the
lady who survived miraculously and got her newborn baby out
of the sea as well, she'd gone up to sleep
on the top deck because it was so hot. And
I think the working theory is that it was so
hot the day before insistently thirty three Celsius, that they'd

(01:40):
left a lot of windows and portholes open to the
air circulate through the cabins and the only people who
stood a chance of getting off it were those on
the top decks. So obviously the passengers were down below,
fast asleep, and that's why they were found behind mattresses.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Did I see that the captain was interrogated or interviewed
for some like a couple of hours.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
He will have been yeah, Look, the Italians will leave
no stone unturned. It's a huge investigation. British Maritime investigation
team has flown over as well. Obviously it's a British shot,
British owned, British tourists on board. There will be several
investigations into this, but thankfully the captain is still alive
and he will be able to say exactly what went on.

(02:22):
But for now we're just piecing together the info we
have from eyewitnesses who were watching on the land and
a handful of people who survived and have spoken to
the media so far. But you know there will be
a thorough investigation, yes, so.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Because obviously, you know, an interview of any links would
suggest that they may be actually wanting to pin things
on him, or he may be in trouble. But are
we reading too much into it?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I think we're possibly reading too much into it. I
mean this is headline news across Italy every day now
for four days They've not had anything like this happen.
So it's a huge, huge story, and I think the
bigger issue away from the tragedy of all the people
losing their lives, if it turns out that this was
caused by this water spout. These were unheard of ten

(03:09):
fifteen years ago in the Mediterranean. The seas are boiling. Yes,
that's the bigger issue here. These are happening more and
more often.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Hey Anderson, Jeremy Clarkson managing to get this pub open
and six months early? How did he manage that?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, so this is a good one. No one knows.
This has come completely out of the blue. He stuck
a post up on social media yesterday and the Internet
has gone into a frenzy. So as of midday tomorrow,
the doors of a pub called The Farmer's Dog will
open in the small town of Burford. Burford's nice. I
mean tourists do go there, mostly Japanese and American tourists

(03:45):
in big tour buses heading off into the cotswalls even
deeper to go see prettier villages. And there are prettier
villages and towns west of there. But local counselors are
very concerned about the traffic implications. So Clark's Farm we've
all seen on TV Didley Squat as it's called. They
have a farm shop. There is traffic in that area

(04:07):
year round, even when the farm shop is closed, because
tourists wants a selfie with the farm shop sign Didley Squat.
So the big fear is that even when the pub
is closed that you know, very early in the morning
and what have you. You will have people stopping in
the road to get out and get a picture. And
you can be guaranteed when the doors do open tomorrow
there will be Clarkson's film crew filming the next series

(04:29):
of Clarkson's Farm, or he may even now call it
Sharkson's Pub.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
And how long before you go?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I'll definitely go. Look, my parents want to visit the farm.
My dad grew up on a farm and we're from
a farming family, so my dad has always wanted to
visit Clarkson's Farm. I think the one point really to
make Heather. He has done more for farming and the
farming community in the UK and worldwide than any politician
you can name, because he showed how hard it is

(04:58):
to make a living off the land and the hours
people put in, and the weather and just that resilience
that farmers have to keep going to fix things, to
mind animals and to make the best of what can
often be a bad lot. And Clarkson like them, are
loath them. He has portrayed that brilliantly on screen.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, well said in the good to talk to you mate.
We'll talk to you again next week. It's into Brady,
a UK correspondent.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
