  Speaker 1: To the UK we go and get a greg. Good
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: money to you either, Andrew. So we've got the collision
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: between the oil tanker and the cargo vessel and they're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: still on fire.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm afraid. So one of the vessels still on fire.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: The other has now been put out. But the latest
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: is a fifty nine year old man has now been
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: arrested and that is in connection on suspicion of gross
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: negligence manslaughter. And that is because one person is missing,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: presumed dead, and also of course because one of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: ships was actually stationary, was moored up at the time
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and appears to have been just struck by another one.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And this happened in daylight hours. The conditions had were
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: really pretty good. It was daylight, as I said, the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: fog that was overnight and early morning had predominantly cleared,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and people just can't understand how this accident could have happened.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Both ships absolutely massive. On a more positive note, there
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was talk about a cyanide compound on board one of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the ships. The owner of that ship has in the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: last few hours said no, no, no, the containers had stored that,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but at the time of this accident and fire, there
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: was none of that compound on board.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, now we've got the President of America refusing to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: rule out the fact that there may be a recession
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for the US this year. We've had the US stocks
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: go down overnight, and we've had turmoil in Europe so
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: far this week.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have. And that looked to have been halted
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: earlier our time this morning, a few hours ago when
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I logged on, actually the CAC that's the French indussy
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: had climb point two of a percent, Germany's dacks had
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: risen point four percent, and the foot seat was by
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and large pretty flat. Here in the UK. I've just
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: looked again and the last couple of hours have been
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: pretty rough. The foot see now down one point two percent,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the CACK down almost one and a half, and the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: dacks down one and a third percent. So significant disruption,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Still significant uncertainty in the markets as Donald Trump's very
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: very flip flop on ideas and tariffs and embargoes all
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the time seems to cause a great deal of uncertainty.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And that is one thing, Andrew, as you know that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the markets absolutely can't stand.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yes and they can't predict what's going to happen. Nixon
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: they like to do that, and I thank you so much.
• 2:12
