  Speaker 1: Kevin Gray are UK europe correspondent, given this terrible story
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: about the snow resort in Switzerland. What's going on?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the bodies of five skiers have been discovered
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: there and Ryan this is all at the very exclusive
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: luxury zoomat resort, but high up from where normally skiers
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: would venture. The five bodies were discovered a day after
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: emergency services were alerted by a group of climbers ascending
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: what's called the Rivschish, a four two hundred meter peak
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: in the Valet Alps. They had discovered several pairs of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: skis left unattended near the summit, and then using airal
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: and ground searches they found the bodies. The victims were
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: at varying altitudes on avalanche debris in high altitude areas
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: near the Swiss Italian border. Obviously, at the moment we
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: don't yet know the names the identities of those but
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: as I said, this is a luxury resort very popular
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with British and other European skiers. There's been some unusual weather.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: They're actually in a separate incident. On Friday night, they
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: were involved in a challenging mountain rescue rescuing four who
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: were stranded amid fog and high wins, but they thankfully
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: were all brought to safety.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And the European Union Trump going at it again, well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Trump going at the European Union that says over the terriffs.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Turns out the ninety day pause could just be ripped
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: up next week.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, all eyes I think really focused on America when
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it wakes up on Monday and what Donald Trump has
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to say. He's now threatening to slap a fifty percent
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: tariff on all goods sent to the US from the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: European Union. In response, We've had a pretty robust response
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: from the EU Trade Commissioner Maras Sefkovich. He's saying the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: EU US trade must be guided by mutual respect and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: not threats, and that we stand ready to defend our interests.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: But this will really concern the EU because it is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: one of Washington's largest trading partners, sending roughly eight hundred
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and ninety billion New Zealand dollars worth in goods last
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: year and buying though just sort of eight hundred billion
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars worth, So a big, big difference in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the discrepancy, and that is something that Donald Trump is
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: obviously very very angry about it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I can see the Germans are getting quite exercised about
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it this morning as well. Thank you so much for that,
• 2:26
