  Speaker 1: Right now, Gavin Gray out of the UK, and how
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: is Britain responding, the UK responding to news that Biden
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: has given the green light for the use of these
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: long range missiles and to Russia for Ukraine, and now
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that Ukraine has used them.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, It's a bit of a sort of Cagy
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: game at the moment, because of course America not saying
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: a great deal about its involvement, leaving it to Ukraine
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: to talk about and indeed the UK sort of playing
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a similar game. So Keir Starmer saying the quickest way
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: for this conflict to end is for Russia to stop.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: He said, it's a thousand days of Russian aggression, a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: thousand days of sacrifice by Ukraine. And he said, it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: clear that we must give Ukraine the support that's needed
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: for as long as it's needed, and the simplest way
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to end this conflict is for Russia to stop the aggression.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: He would not be drawn on the significance of that
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: decision by the Americans to let Ukraine use those missiles
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: for strikes into Russia. And you know, similar comments actually
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: made as well by the europe Union's top diplomat, Joseppe
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Burrell in comments and response really to Russia changing its
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: changing its sort of constitution as it were around when
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: it is okay to fire a nuclear weapon, and Josette
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Burrell sayings not the first time they threatened nuclear escalation.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It is completely irresponsible. Interesting that as you look as
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: well at the financial markets now across Europe, the dollar
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: has risen against major rivals like the pound and the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: euro gold cost jumped, and plenty of people as well
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: looking at the markets which are very jittery over this,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: with the pound losing some value against the dollar this afternoon.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And suffice to say as well that earlier the foreign
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: ministers of the UK, Germany, France, Poland, Italy and Spain
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: all releasing a joint statement saying russia systematic attacks on
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: European security architecture are unprecedented in their variety, in scale
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and creating a significant security risk. And by that they're

  Speaker 2: talking about recent cuts to communication cables between the European Union.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot going on there, and we just spoke
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to Russian security expert who reckons, look, it is significant
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that the Americans are involved here and it's their weaponry
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that's going now long range into Russia. Five out of six.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: By the way the Russians managed to shoot down before
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they hit it is significant, but that Russia is not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to do very much in the way of a response.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing too drastic or significant. That was his take anyway.
