Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Going to get to Devin Gray are UK europe correspondent
given good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Good morning run.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Now we will come back to Liverpool in a second.
But you've got news of a counter terrorism operation by police.
What's happening here.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, it's in Yorkshire, in the northeast of England, and
it is said that three people have been taken to
hospital having been found injured in Leeds in the Headingley area,
famous of course for its cricket and being quite a
sort of well to do area of the city of Leeds.
And of those three who have been taken to hospital,

(00:34):
one is the suspected attacker, and it is said that
one of them has been seriously injured and the attack
was with a crossbow. But the reason it appears that
counter terrorism police are investigating this incident is that alongside
the crossbow they also found a firearm recovered at the
scene and the thirty eight year old suspect, it's said,

(00:55):
has suffered a self inflicted injury. Now, as I said,
we have few details about the two victims. One is
now thought to be out of hospital, the other is
still in hospital. And this happened along something very very
popular called the Otly Run pub crawl route. It's often
very very popular with students who go on a run,

(01:16):
stopping off at a number of different pubs, often about
half a dozen different pubs on the way, and often
for sponsorships. So obviously the police investigate in the motive
and indeed questioning the suspected attacker.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Gevin Marks and Spencer they had that cyber attech last
week in but they're still struggling to sort of get
to grips with that.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, very much so, Ryan So. Marks and Spencer the
absolute sort of the stalwater of the high street in
the UK selling food and clothing. It shares fell dramatically
by five percent. They have picked up a little bit
after it was announced they'd been subjected to a cyber incident,
and it really is struggling a week on to get

(01:55):
back to normal. Indeed, it is now saying that it
has had to cancel its Click and Collect was struggling
as well with people using contactless payments as well as
those paying with gift cards. Now things have pretty much
got back a lot of the way, but I'm afraid
since it's suspended online ordering, Marks and Spencer's has been
responding to social media posts. Advisor customers that these problems

(02:19):
still persist. The share market has gone down five percent
following this, as I said, but they have picked up
a bit. No news on what that cyber attack actually
is or what it entailed. It's not the big first
of the big high street giants to fall foul of this.
Morrison's another one just before Christmas. Serious it problems at

(02:40):
Barkley's Bank as well, and then in February several banks,
notably Lloyd's Banking, facing outages leaving businesses unable to pay staff,
all because of cyber attacks and certainly a great problem
for big businesses here, plus the fact they may even
be fined by the regulator for data and keeping data

(03:00):
if it was deemed that they have not been holding
it securely.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Gavin, and you are Liverpool man. I'm just looking at
a live feed from Sky News and it's a sea
of red. They are very eaded to be winning the
Premier League.
