Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Brady UK correspondence with US evening Inda.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hello Heaver, great to speak to you, against good to.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Check to you. So stam is going to sign a
major trade deal today.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yes, with India. So the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
is here and they're going to meet at Checkers, which
is the country retreat of the UK Prime Minister in Buckinghamshire.
So it will all be very formal. But there is
a lot of money behind this and Starmer is banging
this drum. It will eventually be worth somewhere in the
region of about ten billion dollars to the UK economy.
(00:32):
That kind of figure getting injected in is badly, badly needed.
So Stammer's painting this as a win. And what we'll
see as well is major reductions in tariffs on UK
goods going into India, so car parts and vehicles for example,
will be reduced. It's a big win for the Scottish
whiskey industry because Scotch whiskey is extremely popular with middle
(00:54):
class India and right now they have huge tariffs, so
they will be reduced as well, and in return India
we'll have tariffs reduced on the kind of goods day
scent here from mangoes and grapes to clothing and textiles.
And interestingly they've also asked for twelve hundred visas for
yoga instructors to come to the UK, so we may
(01:14):
be getting a better standard of yoga instructor out with this. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So is it a visa for a visit or is
a divisa for living for long term?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I think it'll be long term working And that in
itself is controversial of course, because Starmer's trying to drive
down migration numbers. And in addition to that, there's also
a proviso here for Indians coming to the UK on
short term contracts to not pay national insurance, which is
another form of tax. But they've ironed it all out.
The deal has been done and in two hours time
(01:46):
Moody and Starmer will sign it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, brilliant stuff. Are you going to watch the Master Shift?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Do you know what? Out of curiosity? I will? The
BBC having announced that the season that they already have
filmed and in the can and ready to go. The
problem they have with screening this is it features Greg
Wallace and John Torode, both of whom will not be
coming back. Various allegations. There was one allegation of bad
language and behavior upheld against the Road, which he denied.
(02:15):
Wallace had something like forty five allegations of inappropriate behavior
and touching and groping everything he denied. Forty five allegations
upheld against Greg Wallace. So the BBC are saying it
was a very difficult decision to make, but ultimately they
owe it to the contestants to screen it, and they
say it will be edited heavily so that the show
(02:37):
features more of the contestants.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Are they going to try and edits Greg and John
down as much as possible?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think it'll be pretty much Hello, this is Master
Chef and then goodbye. That was this week's Master Chef.
I think if the editors get their way, that would
be it. But how Greg Wallace got on Master Chef
is a mystery to me. He was a fruit and
veg guy off of Greengrocers. Best luck to him. He
made it work for himself for as long as it lasted.
But I don't know I find him. He's one of
(03:06):
the mysteries of UK TV. Greg Wallace wasn't he.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Brought into sort of be their working class guy and
just appeal a little bit more to the working class viewers.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh, look at some BBC management bods. They've obviously done
some kind of polling and they've realized that there's an
awful lot of kind of so we say, middle aged,
balding white men who watched TV and they need to
see a reflection of themselves. And that's how Greg Wallace
ended up on Mastershift. Good luck to him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, how do you make fifteen million dollars on a
property in what like one year?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So this is Ellen DeGeneres, the famous TV American host
who basically came over here after Trump's victory. She had
bought a property last summer in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire,
and yeah, she's done some renovations to it, but she's
doing what they call flipping, buying something to do with
up and then sell it on. Yeah, so the price
(04:03):
increase in one year is fifteen million end Z dollars.
People are scratching their heads. Apparently she's only moving because
her wife, who's from Australia, wants more land for their
horses and this property doesn't really have that. But I mean,
why wouldn't you've you've got all the money they have,
wouldn't you have talked about the horses a year ago?
(04:23):
The price tag is fifteen million en Zed, more than
they bought it for. If you've got forty five million spare,
you can buy Ellen DeGeneres's place in the Cotswolts. The
downside is you'll be living next door.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Jeremy Clarkson, Oh okay, this is suddenly becoming quite attractive
to me, and thank you very much, Da, I appreciate it.
