• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And we're going to Devin Gray are UK correspondent, because
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we're hearing that King Charles on his tripped down Under
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to Australia, will be traveling with quite the medical sit Upkevin,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: what's he traveling with?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ran, So of course he arrives later this week
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: in Australia and he is taking a pause, a break
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: from his chemotherapy and as anyone who's had chemotherapy will say,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: often they feel completely run down. So we believe that
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: there are no evening engagements. He has days off during
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: his tour, which is more than a week. But also
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: he is traveling with two full time doctors and we
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: think they're coming from London. There is a backup team
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: as well at some of the locations that he's visiting
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and taking several pints of blood with him. Now why well,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: because of course if you get very run down having
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: had chemo, you may get some infection which requires the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: blood to be infused. So there's obviously that concern that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: they've got. And this is the first visit by a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: British king to Australia. He was gus, I know, not
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to be able to go to New Zealand at the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: same time, but this was something that is his clinicians
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just said, look at the bridge too far. I don't
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: think they were overly keen in taking him taking this
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: long trip in the first place, but obviously now we're
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: getting details of the some of the precautions being taken
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: for his health since he was diagnosed with cancer back
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: in February.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Sounds like he will need it attending the not only
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Australia but also SAMA while he's down here as well.
