  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he has. He's in jail in Pennsylvania at
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the moment. He has been charged in New York with
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the assassination of the United Healthcare Insurance boss Brian Thompson,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: but he has a fighting extradition. He appeared in court
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: yesterday in Pennsylvania and he refused to be extradited with
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: his giving his consent to do so, and so he
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: was denied bail, which means he remains in jail in
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania while the legal ramifications are sorted out in trying

  Speaker 2: to get him extracited to New York. He's going to
• 0:49

• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's his manifesto. Police are suggesting, as it is, such
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: as it is, is that he was fed up with
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: corporate America and that he wanted to make an example of,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you know, of trying to make a statement, if you like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: by doing something that would bring down one of these

  Speaker 2: chief executives. It doesn't suggest in any of the writings
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that has certainly been reported on so far, that there
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: was a personal issue with United Health. It was more
