  Speaker 1: Get glades in the UK morning, mate, hil where are
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we at with these ide workers? And the risk you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is how many we got?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it has been a couple of boats on
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the Mediterranean Sea that have gone down, we believe. It
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is said that dozens of migrants were rescued, but at
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: least ten were found dead below deck on one of
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the ships that were locked into a sort of cargo
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: holders of course, just couldn't get out. And there is
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a heat wave around the Mediterranean as well, so it
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: must have been very very hot. A second ship as well,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: not far away, also went down below Both believes that
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: will come from either the coast of Libya or Turkey.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm afraid sixty four people still missing at sea
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: from both those vessels. And I'm afraid you know, this
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: just goes on and on the Mediterranean. It's the deadliest
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: known migration route in the world and since twenty fourteen,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: like twenty three and a half thousand migrants have died
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: or gone missing in its waters.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And it is very much part of the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: current election campaign.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very much so, so both sides saying they are
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the party that will at least sort this out. But
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I think in reality, nobody can really sort it out
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: unless most of the EU go with it, and that
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: is something the EU has so far suggested that they
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: are not going to join any particular plan here that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the UK have and.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The London Stock Exchange London.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Is back, Yes, London is back, but for how long
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: We're not quite sure. So what that means. The UK's
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: main stock market, the foot Sea, retook its crown as
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Europe's most valuable for the first time in nearly two years.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The total value of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: so that's for the foot Sea am beyond hit five
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: trillion New Zealand dollars yesterday. That just overtook the value
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of companies listed in Paris now. Both valuations, of course
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: shift on a daily basis, but the French market are
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: slump because of uncertainty around the election that was called
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and the distinct possibility that the National Rous, the right
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: wing party, will win a major and it is looking
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to spend money and it hasn't said where that money
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is coming from.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: How much interest, Kevin, while I got you, has there
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: been in the EU vote, the EU vote to the right,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the young people voting, the right, not so much the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Greens and the French situation that sees potentially some twenty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: eight year old turning out to be the prime minister.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Or here's the bricks that mean that you're a separate
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: country now, No one cares, no, No.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: A lot of coverage here in the media and lots
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of interest because of course it will matter to us
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: whatever happens. It may well be that the National Rally
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: may actually sort of suggest that they are not happy
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: with the EU and try and change things from within.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: At one time, the National Rally Party said it wanted
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a for exit, a French exit out of the EU.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: They're not saying that now, but that doesn't mean to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: say they've tempered their opinion about what goes on in
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the EU.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Always a pleasure might catch up, so I appreciate it.
