  Speaker 1: Kevin great for the UK cabuddy toy hither Andrew all right,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of course we're not ticking Aquii savers because of the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: whole terraff war. And and now Jaguar and Manrover has
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: announced they're just going to pause things for a while
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and kick out what's going down.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Prime Minister here saying that they're going
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to take stock keeping eye on things, but actually time
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: isn't a luxury that car manufacturers in this country can afford,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: nor the steel industry. Let's start with car manufacturers, Jaguar
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: landro renouncing it's going to pause all shipments to the US,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and that of course is to quote address the new
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: trading terms. Of course, there was a twenty five percent
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: levy on car imports going into America announced by Donald Trump,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and the US is the second largest export market for
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the UK's car industry, said in a twelve month period
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to be worth roughly sixteen seventeen billion New Zealand dollars
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a year. So this is you know, reasonable size stuff.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And the initial waiver of tariffs are also going to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: be followed up with an import tax on auto parts.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting now to see what different car manufacturers
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: are doing Jaguar Land Rover luxury brand pausing in other words,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and not sending any more cars over to America from
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: its Coventry It's Midland spased manufacturing site. Nissan thinking about
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: moving some of its production of US bound vehicles from
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Japan to America, and the carmaker Stilantis said it's temporarily
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: shutting down its assembly plant in Windsor in Canada. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: different responses from the car manufacturing groups. And regarding steel,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid it looks like British steel is in big
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: trouble here in the UK, and it certainly looks like
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: those extra tariffs are going to make life very, very
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: difficult for it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Nissan, I understand, has been talking about actually building
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: some manufacturing plants in the United States of America to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: get round it, so that would actually be Trump's little
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: policy actually working. So let's move to Rome. And the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Pope has been a naughty way ignoring medical advice.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He has because, having spent some weeks in hospital, he
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was told not to really do anything for several weeks. However,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for the first time since he was rushed into hospital
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in Rome, he has made his first public appearance. He
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: was released from hospital a fortnight ago, and the eighty
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: eight year old, having spent five weeks there, was then
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: told to take several weeks off. However, he appeared in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a previously unannounced move, entering sent Peter Square in a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: wheelchair shortly before noon that local time noon and the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: end of the celebration of a mass for the Catholic
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Church's jubilee year. There were applauding crowds. There were many
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: pleased to see him. There were also some who were
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: evidently quite shocked at his appearance. He did look really
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: pretty weak. His voice did sound stronger than when he'd
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: first addressed well wishers outside the hospital. But yeah, plenty
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of people commenting on his appearance, looking pretty gaunt and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: also with them being fed at the like oxygen through
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: his nose as well, so trying to keep making sure
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that he's getting oxygen to his various organs. But nevertheless,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: as I said, great to see him up and about,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but yeah, further concern about his general overall health.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He needs the people, and the people need him. And
