  Speaker 1: Gevin gray Are UK correspondent Gavin good morning to you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: must be celebrations of plenty around number ten. YEP.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It's taken three years to get this far. It might
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: be another year before it's actually implemented and comes into force,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: but there's no doubt there's a great degree of celebration.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: This wasn't just a fixation of this government but the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: last government as well, in order to get a trade
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: deal with India over the line. Why we'll already trade
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: between the UK and India totals roughly eighty to ninety
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: billion New Zealand dollars a year, but that is forecast
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to grow and with this trade deal, the government says
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you can add another fifty percent onto that easily. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister of Indian or Indo Remodi described the agreement
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: as an historic milestone that's ambitious and mutually beneficial. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: in essence, I mean, gosh, what there are lower tariffs
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: coming into the UK for Indian manufactured clothing and where
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: food stuffs including frozen prawns, jewelry and going the other
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: way from the UK levees will fall on Gin and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Whiskey aerospace, electrical megnical devices, all sorts of things. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the British government says this is the biggest and most
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: economically significant bilateral trade agreement that the UK has science
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: since leaving the European Union in twenty twenty, and are
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: quick to also highlight that it won't mean more visas
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: being given out to Indians, which has been a subject
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of some debate with the migration levels here in the UK.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's interesting what's not well, it's as interesting what's not
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: included as what is right As you say, no visas
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and from a New Zealand perspective, no Lamb yes, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: dearie no, and deary is a big one for us.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: We're over there trying to negotiate at the moment. But
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that is fantastic news for you guys. Givin now. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: cardinals are all going to be locked up from tomorrow, right, Yeah.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So I hear that they are all currently in the Vatican.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They've all all arrived safely at Vatican City and the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: doors will lock officially tomorrow morning. But I don't think
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: anyone's in nipping out for a late dinner this evening.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty three Catholic cardinals in what's probably
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: going to be the most secretive election again of all time.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I would guess even the dining room staff who feed
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the cardinals have had to observe absolute and perpetual secrecy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Two doctors are on hand. Apparently the chapel and the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: two guesthouses being used for accommodation and the actual conclave
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: are going to be swept for microphones and bugs. Now
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: all Catholics around the world will say this election is
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: guided by God and not politics, but it is these
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: cardinals who are going to be making a very very
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: big decision. And apparently in the rooms, no televisions, newspapers
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: or radio for the conclave. They can't even open the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: windows because some of the windows open to the external world.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So the start of probably several days process before we
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: eventually find out who is the next Pope, and plenty
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of speculation that could be one cardinal from Asia, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: also some speculation it could even be a new pope
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: might come from Africa, but we know nothing yet.
• 3:13
