  Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. It'd be
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: follow this and a wide range of podcasts. Now on iHeartRadio.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Into Brady UK correspondent with US.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Now, Hey da, Hey, Heather, how are you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. This is a surprise, this
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: UKFTA with the US, right, because we thought you people
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: were in the third phase.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we find this out overnight via social media.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: President Trump has been busy and there is a major
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: trade deal going to be announced at three pm UK time.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: We're hearing he just teased that. Trump he said it's
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: with a major respected world nation. Downing Street is not
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: denying that it is the United Kingdom. So on the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: face of it, this is a win for Keir Starmer.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: But let's have a look at the detail. And it's
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: interesting the word deal is being used, not agreement, and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I think there's a very big difference between a deal
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: which could be short term and may see tariffs reduced
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: as opposed to a long term free trade agreement. But
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: whatever happens, it's a win for Britain and I guess
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Starmer will take it as a win too.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Now does this make you feel less embarrassed at how
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: much of a butt kiss a Kistama.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Was Look, I think what we're going to see in
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the next couple of days. Here's my prediction, Turnbury Golf
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Course in Scotland, which is owned by Donald Trump. Turnbury
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Golf Course in Ayrshire. I reckon they're getting the Open
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Championship in twenty twenty eight, and I think that's as
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: much as is in this It's a transaction, so the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: tariffs will go back down to zero from the UK.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Trump gets to come here on a second state visit
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: with the royal family and all of that makes history.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And then secondly the golf course in Scotland will host
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Open Championship. So look, everyone's running around after this guy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: The whole world. I mean, the smartest person in Europe
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: has actually been the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb. Educated
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: at an American university. He plays off scratch at golf,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: flew himself to Florida, played around the golf for Trump,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and suddenly Finland has has the direct line to the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: White House. You couldn't make it up all because of golf.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's all about relations relationships, sin it's transactional. As you say, listen,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: this Tierra plot what building was the target, So there's.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Been a lot of speculation. This week eight men were
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: arrested in various different parts of England, from the Northwest
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to Swindon in Wiltshire to West London. Eight men arrested,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: seven of them were Iranian. The sas were involved in
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: these arrests and elite police officers as well, so heavily
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: armed police officers took these guys into custody. We learned
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: today the newspapers say that the target was to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the Israeli embassy in central London. Now that is a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: heavily protected building, but clearly the intelligence made its way
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to the police and that that was to be the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: target of the attack. So Iran, on the face of
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: everything we're hearing today, Iran with covert operatives on UK
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: soil were going to atack Israeli people their embassy in London.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: This would have been a bloodbath, but it's been intercepted.
• 3:13
