Biden Unleashes a 'Nonsensical Word Salad' and Gets Called Out
"Emily yasinsky. Emily, welcome back to America first. Thanks so much for having me, stab. Just don't call me sir like you did in the break because then I'm going to terminate this interview very, very rapidly. Emily. I learned that lesson the hard way. Okay, good. Let's have some fun. Let's talk about why don't seem to be such a positive real American media. This popped up on my social media feed yesterday and he's from Australia and my producer mister G when I sent it to him, he said, how come I've never seen a Montage like this on Fox News? This is Sky News Australia cut ten play cut. This week the world got a frightening inside into what happens when you unleash the president without notes and auto cue or someone screaming instructions in his ear. You get this nonsensical word salad. Tell me how you do that. I understand it. It's clear in space. You're accurate. But how and making the case of the freedom Manhattan, what do you do to other than to sort of embarrass men and getting into the end of the argument and voting the right way? On this issue. Okay, we also saw president Joe Biden and deliver this rousing and totally coherent message to rally the troops for the midterms. If we elect two more senators, we keep the Democrats. We're going to get a lot of unfinished business. We're going to get done. Just in case you missed that, he said if we elect two more senators, we keep the house and Democrats. We're going to get a lot of unfinished business. We're going to get done, okay? Why do we have to wait for Australians to give us great little packages like that, Emily? Yeah, and they spared no mercy. I mean, it's unbelievable. And that's what journalists exist do to hold powerful people to account. And so it is rather sad that our own media, which could fill up prime time every single day basically on a daily basis with the nonsensical things that Joe Biden has said. And they probably should, by the way, because he's the leader of the free world. He's the leader of our country at the very least you'd think this would matter to voters, but we see very, very little of it.

They team aims to dig a bit deeper into some of the detail around the stories that we're covering on sky sky news has been taking a closer look at what we know about the disaster. We set out to find whether there was any satellite imagery of the region and the locations that have been affected. That could help us give our listeners and viewers a better perspective on what had happened or add something to the way that we were telling the story. There are two or three sort of known sources of satellite imagery or satellite provisions. That take pictures of events happening over the world. We discovered that there was a whole community of international scientists out there on social media looking at the same imagery as and everybody was discussing what they thought might have happened. Many scientists in the region suspected that there was a glacial lake outburst flood and that's where a lake breaches or burst its damn and causes a flood in the region but the pictures that we found gave us another idea so some of the pictures that we saw Showed us that there had actually been a crack in. Managhan t. mountain. That's in this. Himalayan range where the disaster happened and there was one particular image of this crack which was taken on the second of february a few days before the disaster itself and as we looked back at the same spots we could say that that crack had been there for some time in fact the the first time that crack was shown on the mountain range was captured on the first of january twenty twenty so just over a year ago so it's obviously a crack that had been developing over a period of time scientists. We spoke to believe that the crack in the mountainside caused a huge block of rock. An is to fall nearly two kilometers the floor of the valley they will also images which can show the scar left on the mountain side of this block breaking away and that scar was around five hundred and fifty meters wide so it was a huge huge piece of rock which crashed to the valley floor. We also know from other images that a previous avalanche twenty sixteen had left a big ice deposit on the valley floor so as this large block of rock and ice roll down the valley it collected some of the ice that was left in two thousand sixteen sort of increasing its mass and as it traveled down the valley there would have been hate generated from its movement which melted the ice and that meant that there was lots of water generated making this whole mass incredibly big by the time it reached the villages further down the valley the scientists studying this haven't formalized any of their conclusions yet but it certainly seems like the evidence that we have and the pictures that we've all viewed show that it was indeed a large block of recognized breaking away from the side of the mountain which caused this devastating landslide in terms of what is happening out there. I can tell you what. I experienced in going up the mountains. These are remote parts off. The himalayan range and i found there was a lot of construction.

My colleague louis mason sports reporter on sky news radio team how to chat with all your resume before the tokyo gains got underway reflects a mastermind career with so many great memories. It's kind of hard to to pick out all be taught memories because everything's been been so great been so fortunate to have experienced the things that have obviously competing in a home games was an absolute dream. Come true and something special for every athlete. So i feel so fortunate to have experienced that in my career. Nicole swain meadows. That would made it even more special and then obviously rio twenty six team for me in swimming expectant was the best performance ever delivered so that was already special time. Yeah just look back with with such great memories. A strange one guy in tokyo that you'll and feelings because we'll come to the decision that you've had to make for this games but it must be a bit of a mixed bag excitement but kind of almost tinged with sadness that you're not going to be there. Yeah it's a funny one. I think to me it's going to be very different. I think there's no no kind of getting away from that. Obviously the last two paralympic games. I've been involved in. And then the games before that the two thousand eight beijing paralympics. I was actually out there washing. Upper the compete. They're not given too much credit. I think that was kind of what what inspired me to to follow that path in to kind of go for this career and try and represent mcglinchey really but i'm a little bit sad the out with the team. I'm not gonna lie book. Like say sports changed my life and giving me so many opportunities switch purpose to my life in the drive. I'm just really looking forward to Just to watch in the guys compete in on the team. There's a lot of faces that we used to kinda veterans and then there's a lot of new guys on the team as well. They soon got onto the issue of classification. Can you just talk us through how it works and also how it gave you that difficult decision this year. So essentially the classification system in in power. School comparison is to enable that. You'll competed against people with similar impoundment levels so in swimming. The physical impediment ranges from 'swan been the most severely impact to extend been the the least impacted. So that's the wants temp physical classifications and then eleven thirteen the visual impairments in similar kind of sliding scale eleven being completely blind then kind of twelve a little bit less severe and then the again a little bit less severe. An asphalting is for intellectual impairments. So that's kind of a brief overview if the classification system yeah obviously a massive part of power spoil for myself. I kind of fell them. You know they're on say negative side book the unfortunate side of of that where i was competing as an s. eight semester the majority of my career Since before i can remember. I only is essay. Rarely to be honest and then in two thousand eighteen unfortunately ours moved to an asinine category sossamon against less impacts miss which obviously was was ready difficult for me to kind of deal with income inconsistent with which ultimately led me to take a decision to step back. How does that work. How does that decision get made from you and from your disability. Yeah israeli difficult because to be honest. It's never something that i ever imagined would happen. My condition nervously two mile. These fulmer muscular dystrophy. So it's actually progressive. Ironically so it gets but yeah it's just the classification system close decisions need to be made in kind of lines drawn. You know i've been in power spot for longtime book. Yeah i'll never fully understand or accept the decision. Thank you for my mental wellbeing again which which came into play. When i was decided i wanted to do my future and whether i was going to stay in the spoke competing Something that dots kind of take a step back from really interest in paralympic sport has grown in recent years. But what's boosted. Its popularity might be london. Twenty twelve especially in this country might people take a even bigger. Look at the paralympics. And we've seen this year. They're expecting to break broadcast viewing records. Because there's so many broadcasters who have taken the games and are going to be sharing it in one way or another. That's just incredible isn't it. Yeah definitely i think in two thousand twelve like state it was. It was kind of that. Ten point power spot where it wasn't kind of people with disabilities taking part in sport it was people with disability to ever come in that impairments in there at this is to achieve great things in sport and really push themselves to be the best that they can be so yeah i think it reflects great. That kind of broke. It's going to be be all over. The place in is going to be seventy outlets to kind of follow power slow right tomorrow. I'm paralympic athlete with a bit of a different. I got a gold medal in hand. Cycling in racing and i've also got gold medal in her harrowing and athletes since day. One sports and i can understand why as well. Rachel morris is a three time paralympian unlikely. She worried the classification rules would put her at a disadvantage in the games so she decided to take matters into our own hands and retrain in an entirely different sport. I've come around and started and sailing and then needs a bit more excitement physically for me and started into an unsightling and qualified four beijing as a foster kathleen An i qualified for Rio so between sixteen.

You talking about a wedding and we referred to her as chop bo's wife. What's the legal position though and bell of actually legally married.

"The fact is that we do know that in countries that were led by female has of stayed the handling of the kobe. Pandemic did go better than in those countries being led by male heads of government. That's an interesting statistics. Is it coincidental or not. I leave that to each of the listeners. To decide on climate change there have been moments in history when there have been a few more females who have been leading the process but sadly dermott very sadly we still do not have enough women involved in climate change policy in s- particularly in energy policy. And do i think that they would do a better job. Here's what i think about that. They would at least complement the male skills. That's the issue. It's not that one gender does a better job than the other. It's that if we get and once we get because we have to fifty percent representation on all decision tables on all policy-making tables then we will have much wiser decisions because we will be able to take many more different reference points many more different viewpoints into account. So i'm not here putting one gender up against the other. I am calling for fifty fifty so that we as a global economy as global humanity can take advantage of the one hundred percent of human potential. And not just of the fifty percent that we've been using over the past x. Thousands of years there are many many studies that prove that the most virulent impacts of climate change are upon women and children. And that is very easy to understand. Because when you put yourself in the shoes of women in developing countries it is those women who need to provide. Food water and lively hoods for their family so you see women in developing countries walking. I thirty minutes then one hour then. Two hours three hours in order to get to firewood. Because they've been already harvesting that firewood and because there is more and more desertification more and more drought and less and less available to them firewood because they have to cook on an open fire right so whether it's firewood food harvesting or water gathering women are usually the ones that have to do that very hard work and they have to put every day more and more hours into it and every day they're harvest or they're gathering is less and less so they are being directly impacted by climate change in most of those homes. Demand is not even present or if he is present he then beats the woman when she comes home with not enough food not enough water and not enough firewood so not only is climate change affecting women more than men but men are getting impatient and angry with women who are not delivering the expected services to the family because of climate change so they are doubly. Hit here is a fact that i would like listeners. To remember fifty percent of all women in the world are still cooking on an open would fire. That is astonishing that we are allowing that level of poverty and that level of basically home slavery to women is unimaginable unacceptable in the twenty first century. But that is the reality.

Well that's all good but it would be very inappropriate for him to use that title in public. So it's kind of the same thing you want to call yourself astronaut. That's fine but it's like an honorary phd. You don't call yourself doctor and so that doesn't bother me but you know. I think it's great.

"Richard branson's being outed longer than the others. Seventeen years or so since richard branson. I announced his ambitions. Two thousand four. When virgin galactic was started. I think back then the intention walls within three or four years. They be doing what they've only just done now of of taking passengers into space but for him dates back and he. He talks about this a lot. Doesn't it back to nineteen sixty nine and watching the moon landing a teenager. We choose to go to the moon and and do the other thing not because they are easy being taken outside by his dad and the pointing up at the moon and realizing there were two men up there east folks at one of those men buzz aldrin in the nineties and and talked about the idea of using plane rather than a traditional rocket as so. The idea is been fermenting for a long time lot of setbacks on the way of course. I think a lot of us wonder whether this would ever happen. He's proved he can do it. And i think that for him is why this is so emotionally significant but also practically significant in a business sense as well. Let's go through the others then we go elon. Musk of tesla. Fame with space. X.'s dragon capsule and he's the best known for his space ambitions around the world. Think just because of his global profile that he has and has had a lot of success with the commercial side of this deals with nasa of taking things up into orbital space which of course is much further than branson or some of the tourism operations are going and has talked in perhaps much greater ambition. About what could be done. He's talked about colonizing mars. Easy said he wants to go to mars. he's also said people might die. Going to mars but ambitions seemed to be much bigger and grander than just space tourism. And someone who through his life has solve the big problems as he's seen them around the world and this is one he sees that needs to be solved by the private sector. Then making up the triumvirate. Jeff bezos of amazon fame. What of his ambitions. what's his rocket. Program is interesting isn't because he there's far less publicity with with. Jeff bezos a blue origin. The company that will take him into space has been around for twenty years so longer than branson's virgin galactic but his plans all rooted much further back than that he he talks of colonizing space of building these holds where trillions of people can live something. It's thought he took from a professor. He had at princeton physicist. Who came up with his idea in the seventies so he has these grand ambitions that pass. He doesn't talk about as much as richard branson alone. Musk but which are very rooted in in history and clearly having left amazon this is now his focus on taking humans where they where they've not come

Thanks nice to hear you too. Where are you leroy. I'm in houston texas law of mine. That sounds good. So my name is leeward. chow Nasa astronaut in international space station commander Retired from nasa. Now for i guess about fifteen or sixteen years and before that i was Chemical engineer i studied chemical engineering grew up in california. During my fifteen year nasa career did get the fly four times into space. My first three missions were aboard space shuttle sand on my fourth flat. I trained with the russians launched to the international space station in on the russian soyuz rocket. And i served as the commander then for expedition ten which was six and a half months flights. Why did you want to go into space. Why does anyone want to do it. I was eight years old when apollo eleven landed on the moon and that was the at that really started my dream of wanting become an astronaut. I had always been interested in airplanes and rockets. Even when i was very young i would. You know look at pictures of airplanes and i would look up at the sky at them and later on when i got a little older i could memorize. How high and how fast they could fly. Then i just remember that apollo eleven landing just like it was yesterday and i remember going out later looking at the moon and realizing that they're almost a quarter of a million miles away. These two astronauts were getting ready to take those first steps. And i thought. Wow that's what i wanna be. I wanna be like those guys who are up on the moon. What about the risks. Though let's talk about those apollo missions. Zoology is by astronauts actually lost their lives on the way there before we got those guys onto the moon. Well there's risking everything and it's interesting that you you bring up risk because i remember i was probably around seven years old and i had this. You know children's book about becoming a pilot. I remember one of the last pages talked about test pilots and then i announced my mother that i wanted to be a test pilot and she told me. Now you're not going to be a test pilot. I said why she says it's too risky. You know you want to be an engineer. And i was heading that direction even at that young age because i like technical things but it's risk reward it's not really a thrill seeking now when we recruit for astronauts definitely not looking for the thrill seeker. Types the adrenalin junkies. We don't want people who've bungee jump for the thrill We're looking for people who were very competent. First of all very good in their fields. Very good in what we call operational thinking that is being trained to do a job and being able to execute it being able to keep cool under pressure and under emergency situations yes. of course. it's thrilling to go into space but You know. I didn't become an astronaut because of that thrill i think it was just the excitement and curiosity of flying into space than participating in exploration. We'll tell the billions of us humans. Who never been that are never going to go. That what it's like what. We are highlights. Were you too busy working. And doing all the experiments or did you spend a lot of time just gazing out of the window going. I can't believe this. I know playing around with weightlessness. With what was it about it. That just made you think they see fantastic. Well first mission. of course. Everyone is probably most impressed by their first flight into space. Because it's all new. But i remember as soon as we got into war but it was more emotional than i had anticipated because i guess after having dreamed about it for so long and worked so hard and jump through the hoops and gotten a few lucky breaks here. I was actually up in space and looking out at the earth it was just so beautiful so colorful than your sustained in weightlessness at your body. Starting to adapt you feel very disney but at the same time very much in awe which you're seeing outside the window you know over the next few days you kinda get used to operating in zero g and how to move around without running into the walls and things like that. I did take a moment right after main. Engine cutoff and on strapping in gazing out the window and thinking. Wow you know. I'm really here but at the same time. I did have a job to do one of the first things i had to do. After we got into orbit was to put together a camcorder and take video of the external tank. Is it fell away. You know that's kind of how it is during a shuttle mission because you're only up there for one or two weeks on a space station mission. It's different europe there for half a year or so. It's more like a normal workweek if you will your weekends or less busy than your weekdays and you have the quote unquote evenings off. You know. that's your opportunity to look out the window and take photographs and just enjoy the experience more. You have more time. It seems the paces not quite as frenzied nights off. Drop into the star wars plan. Maybe tell me. Tell me about preparation. physical and mental training is something. You're always doing when you're an astronaut. And so right when you arrive with your new astronaut class you go right into training. Their lectures of course their sessions in the mission simulators. So you're always doing something. There's training on the robotic arm this training how to do spacewalks. You know you're spending time in space suits underwater. You know learning how to do the basics and then once you get assigned to emission. Then you're training for that specific mission and the things that you were going to be doing on. that mission. Physically were expected to keep ourselves in good health and good physical condition. you know. Of course you have to pass through medical exam every year to stay on flight status. Yeah a lot of a lot.

"Hello i'm anna jones and i'm katharina tutsi and this is sky news climate cost and on this week's episode we explore how gender equality could help solve climate change. Education empowers education us. You opportunity to explore different ideas but we ask will it be possible as uk cuts. It's foreign aid budget so this week. We're talking about women and not just because we both happen to be women but because women could be a solution to combating climate change but before we find that solution. Let's i acknowledge the problem and that is that women. Disproportionately fill the impacts of climate change yet. Something which has been proven highlight time and time again. But it's worth reminding ourselves of the cold hard facts about this on a so. Women are fourteen times more likely than men to die. During natural disasters such as climate related floods droughts wildfires eighty percent of people displaced by climate change. A women women are much more likely to suffer food insecurity as a result of climate change or struggle the most whilst they try to recover the economic positions pigs of not being able to own land and following extreme weather events. Women are also more likely to become a victim of domestic violence and be placed in dangerous situations. Look and that is just for a very very long lists all things where women are disproportionately affected by climate change and these are listed on report from the united nations global gendron climate alliance the global women's project many other organizations have been working. Try make sure. Gender equality is taken into consideration when mitigating against climate change. And it's so hard to get your head around isn't it. You think if a natural disaster heads you'd imagine we'd all be hit in the same way. I'm really interested in your experience because you're still in bangladesh onto your doctor at the moment Katharina and you've done some extraordinary reports. Which i will pause just to plug. Because they are all available to watch on youtube all about climate change and how it's affecting bangladesh but have you seen any evidence of women being impacted more by climate. Change than men I think what we have found with climate change here. Is that it sort of exploits and opens up existing vulnerabilities in society. So what we found. we went to a place called banney shanta which is a brothel now brothels are legal in bangladesh but sex work is extremely too so we spoke to one woman cope irvin who said that when she was fifteen that her family's farm got washed away in a flood had been washed away several times and got to a point where they just couldn't go on any longer and then a woman came to the and said tell you what if your daughter comes with me into the city. I can find her job in the garment factory and the family who were desperate income said yes that would be that. That might just help us in order to get a meal on the table for the family but actually what the woman did was she. Soap irvine into a brothel and she's been living in a brothel walking into sex work for years now and so shamed of the life that she's been sold into. She's never even told her family. That is what has happened to her. She said that she she still sends money home to her family but says that she does it because she go to drop a factory that she's now married and living with her in laws and she has his whole life that she's been sold into that she can't escape from which you could say yes. There were many other factors which led to the family to be that vulnerable but climate change was the thing that tipped the family over to the edge. I made them so specifically vulnerable in that instance. So catarino what kind of help is there out there for women like this. There's been a lot of work done by the bangladeshi government and by charities to try and educate women so that they are less vulnerable when these extreme weather events hit but something which might have an impact on the breadth and the depth of some of these programs. Is this week news that the. Uk's foreign aid budget has been cut because a lot of these programs We spoke to a big ngo here in bangladesh. A lot of these programs have over the past ten years or so had a lot of funding by the uk government. And what we've heard as a direct consequence is that some of these programs which might not necessarily be linked directly to climate change because they could have a link about women's empowerment women's education. Those programs might now be taking a hit and it's something that conservative. mp's even the former prime minister here in the uk theresa may said in the commons. this week would could have essentially huge impact. This isn't about palaces dictatorships and vanity projects. It's about what cuts to funding me. That fewer girls will be educated. More girls and boys won't become slaves. More children will go hungry. And more of the poorest people in the world will die the government keen to point out that it's eleven point six billion pounds worth of aid for climate change. Mitigation and adaptation is ring-fence. They say it isn't affected by these carts. But some critics say that. There's a lot of aid work. That's indirectly making a big difference in this climate sphere that will be impacted programs that support women education and family planning for example the united nations sexual reproductive health agency and we are entirely funded by mostly by government donors and the uk has been a big supporter of our work. Much jackson from the unfpa says the decision to reduce foreign aid from north point seven percent of national income. Two point five percent will have an immediate impact on women and girls and later down the line. This will impact climate change these twenty countries. This year he will not receive. The supplies contraceptives medicines that they need for example. The democratic republic of congo sudan tanzania. They won't be able to receive hof of what they have requested women and girls who are already disproportionately impacted by climate impacts and continue to be left behind so this may sound like a long list of problems with women. Cost is victims. But we know that they aren't women are a solution in the climate emergency. Well yes that's and pull hawkin who's environmental author along with. His team of researchers published a book with a hundred substantive ways to solve climate change in the next thirty years and they ranked these solutions in order of the most impactful and they found increasing girls education and access to family planning ranked sixth and seventh most.

We're just talking as we hear that they've left their main military base them. So you've been there many times by gram airfield. They left it without telling the new afghan commander.

There are many of course in the country who would say you could have done it in a million different ways apart from that one but it definitely gave the impression that they were trying to get out the country's quickly as possible and if left behind a massive mess that's going to take probably decades if if that unraveled and sought out. Yeah is hasn't gone down well here but there was a lot of fear about what would happen. If the troops pulled out well the have pulled out on.

When you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you're fifteen make or break you but who really was the woman that found herself a royal at such a young age. How did alive come to be defined by the controversies as much as the charity work. And how did she achieve levels of popularity never seen before or since for a member of royalty. Hello i'm damned manahan and welcome to the sky news daily. Podcast william and harry of commissioned statute to be built in her memory. I'm tell us a bit about it. Where is it going to be. Of course why is it so important for them is amazing. really it was back in Started two thousand seventeen that we. I found out that they commission this statue. Rounded mills is our royal correspondent and two thousand seventeen was the twentieth anniversary of princess. Diana's death than we anticipated that we're going to see that statue towards the end of the year and it's unclear exactly why it's taken so long for for the statue to to actually be created and be unveiled cause some people talk about the fallings out between the two brothers also suspect that kobe did all the restrictions around that has has played its part but sunny when they announced that they wanted to commission the statue they said that It had been twenty years since them up his death and they just felt the time was right and is going to be in the sunken garden at kensington palace. Which we know is a place that princess. Diana enjoyed spending time. Actually a couple of years ago. I went and spoke to to one of the the team who still work on kensington palace gardens and they reflected on the fact that how some of their colleagues of talked about how princess diana used to go to the gardens. Now she take a real interested in what they were doing and spend some time with a mess so so it's a really poignant place for them to to place that statue on the committee you had diana's sister lady sarah hughes had julius samuel who's was very close friend of the princess Godparents of prince. George and a committee was chaired by. Jamie lowther pinkerton. Who was william and harry's former private secretary so so that's who was involved in. Its statue's been created by an artist called ian rank broadley. Who actually is. His portrait of the queen appears on all the uk coins but people literally from right around the world will head to kensington policy. Anyway at the moment to remember. Diana said it's going to be really important focal point. No doubt about that is going to be a real draw. I mean there's always enduring interest in donna princess of wells but but at the moment seems to be a a particular focus or refocus Particularly on that interview she twenty five years ago to the bbc and of course because of the rift between her sons. Yeah and. I think we'll always amazes me. Is that enduring interest in princess diana. I think there's a few things at play. Really her tragic death and the way that she died. And i think the fact that most of us remember that we where we were on the day that we found out receiving the the sad news. Here at sky senator. Confirmation from other foreign secretary rubin cuckoo's in the far east at the moment that diana princess of wales has in fact been killed in that car accident. And that i think is forever etched on on people's memories and on the fallout off about in terms of the impact that it has on the royal family but also in terms of the social issues that she engaged with so She was only thirty six years old. And it's amazing to think about the impact that she had on on causes such as hiv and aids or homelessness she really was kind of an agenda setter and now we got so used to a young family engaging much more on those two subjects but she really was breaking the mold at the time and say the fact that she continues to have this impact on the royal family as well and the way that the royal family is perceived and and i think yet. We can't help it talk about that panorama in that she gave twenty five years ago. The fact that in recent weeks we've been talking about how that interview was secured that martin share in some way. Use those fake documents to deceive her brother earl spencer an princess diana and again prince william and prince. Harry would want us to be watching that interview again but it has been that people have again replayed those clips. I realized what an explosive interview it was is not a terribly nice way to describe it. In a way that the soap opera the that was those final years of her life and the way that the marriage collapsed and the way that it all played out in the tabloids. Yeah is forever etched on on the royal family and certainly the fallout from that. Well my name is penny junor. And i am a russia. Broadcaster journalist and i have written many books over the is about the royal family. I my first royal. Biography was forty years ago about the princess of wales. And since then. I have done prince. Charles william harry camilla. And i've done a book about the firm so i've covered missed over a long period of time. Penny junor knows all about the so-called soap opera often diana's life but who was the young woman behind all of that. When i i was asked to write about her i went to buckingham palace. Immediately and said come have been asked to write this book about about diana. Can i come and talk you. And they said we actually think is too young to have a biography written nevada. So i'm afraid we're not going to be able to help you. That was a major blow. But i then i went to all the places. She'd been schools to her old houses to i knocked on a hundred one doors trying to find friends and people would talk to me which was a great challenge but in the end i found one person who would talk to me. The problem was that in the run-up to the wedding all donner's friends and relations had been completely overrun with with the press. And so people they will fed up and they kind of got together and they said after the wedding as body we will no longer to journalists or to anyone and that was. When i came knocking so i was finding an an awful lot of difficulty. Getting people to talk to me. I finally one one friend to speak to me. And he then understood what. I was trying to do which was write a book about diana and he spoke to his friends and they collapsed. Like a pack of domino's thank goodness and in the end buckingham palace collapsed as well to an extent they said. Give us a list of those questions you would most like diner to answer and we will put them to her. And that's exactly what happened. So i wrote hundred one questions. Almost literally and back came written answers so that was my first brush with her. Well let's plug into all that shoe leather you expended to to discover more about diana and just tell us about the background of course dispenses are upper-class aristocratic but she worked to me compared to what she was marrying into she actually did.

"The disparity between what's happening in the rest of the country putting up. I mean for example. I could travel to work on a crowded community train packed in like sardines with more people that attend the average. This is sarah haywood. She's a wedding planner and spokesperson for the uk. Weddings taskforce and the issue of course is numbers. We get back so we're really really pleased that the numbers have been pushed off so we're now at socially distance capacity so that's about fifty percent so it's basically a ceremony and a meal that doesn't work for the huge majority if people world leaders were out in full force for the g. seven summit. In cornwall. even the ninety five year old queen was delighting them with her quickly. You internet mosques. Seemingly no social distancing either but not display has further angered the wedding industry still operating under kobe restrictions. I mean some people will go ahead. initially let me say you know before it all starts saying okay. We can have the numbers about. We can't sing. Have moss on the rest of it. As the night goes on palm these things might be eroded perhaps heaven for fans. Some people might even start dancing on. I mean and and you could actually have the scenario where you and we've seen it at other events. The police turn up and say you know. Break up this wedding. It's it's not covert compliant. I mean it sounds a bit silly. Has anybody told the fans zones for the football the space to be singing and dancing and hugging and kissing each other so within twenty four months of us being able to go back to work two full numbers on restricted. We've got over eight hundred thousand things that's double lap that's over a million and a half people waiting to get married so i can see when a scientist looks at that. Figure they go you know. All these people makes fifty million people will attend the wedding. A guess i we do see that. Thought if we're going to learn to live in a covid world we go to ensure that the people who can make these things happen in the safest possible way are here to do it and it feels the reason long to wait until everybody's vaccinated but in the meantime consumer confidence taken such a dive. People don't quite believe what they're told anymore. It's taken us so long to get government to really grasp. Is that a low. It looks like from the outside. A wedding planner. I guess it looks to most people that you know. I'm just a silly woman with a click boondi whereas high heels a saturday afternoon an attend parties. But actually i and four hundred thousand dollars. The workers were serious people. Sixty thousand of us running very serious profitable businesses. We've done well. And all sectors the envy of the event sector around the world and to lose that edge is dangerous. What else in the world can you marry like a princess in a palace here you can. And the destination wedding market here is quite large. My prisoners relies upon it. It's not something we've ever needed to champion before. I mean never did. I think that i would need to. In some way engage with government in order to produce a wedding. Now that we've done that now that we've made our case we just need to push for two little bit further because with thrilled with really thrilled that we've got the numbers increased but the activities around a wedding also count and if you're going to let people do what they're doing in the rest of society that normally needs addressing it's important it's it's a right of passage and the right to marry is one of the most cherished fundamental freedoms that we enjoy and the conservative party is supposed to be the party of family and family values and it's enough now. We've done everything we were asked to do. And we have suffered sixteen and a half billion pound loss. Ninety percent of wedding business is reporting that they've lost between ninety and one hundred percent of their revenue during this time. Even most robust business is struggling. And sarah what happens if it isn't july the nineteenth if they shy away from it again. That's another key some gun. Isn't it what happens at an entire sector in imminent danger of going under and it's not just my sector. I happen to be here to represent my sector but there all huge societal impacts. If we don't learn how to move through this it's here to stay. We could make a podcast about kobe. Marriages without including our recent wedding celebrity in the office when she managed to find time for us either. I'm sorry and i'm a producer at sky news so i had my covert wedding in september twenty twenty last year. The guidance kept shifting. Meant that before this we had to plan and re panel wedding about three times. It was emotionally and physically draining. Our initial plan was to have a big fat bucks. Tiny wedding with something like two hundred and fifty to three hundred guests. If my mom go away. That's pretty standard by the way for asian weddings just in case. You didn't know so. I wanted to have a really sort of intercultural wedding mixing both mike cultural traditions and that of my husband errands who comes from an irish family. So i found irish kaley banned for dancing kaley. I thought you know it'd be great because.

"Where my personal life if feel like they finally aligned and it was personally rewarding since george floyd murdered since we've seen a big backlash whether it's through protests whether it's been through people campaigning on social media and through the means. Do you feel that. Particularly in britain there has been an aspect of change at all and change for good so the the people that i tend to not will be companies. I didn't spend much time on social media to be on this date. Know what's happening in the rest of the world save two companies and my friends does favorite pretty much and i've seen a lot companies. I work with as genuine concern genuine. Want to make sure there's a difference and we allocation of budgets to make sure that they can create the right opportunities that they can stop some of the work to eliminate racism that may exist in their organizations. So i have seen some change the so much throwing so much money an issue yes kind of reallocating budgets saying that they're going to make change and talking about it but are you actually physically seeing any changes is just choking some money out of enough. Does that need to be more money out of isn't enough and when i say reallocation of budgets it's not like they're just saying here's some money. They are creating initiatives. They're investing in the right places is not the in reality is very read. Someone's just like here as many. It's let's create the right program to enable people to enter of cool. That's fine to experience. The company to say is i completely right for everyone right so putting everything else aside. Do we have the flexibility that we should have all we enabling our organization to be racist and if it is then what can they do to change. So that's what. I say reallocation of budgets. It's understanding maybe. They need to look at their internal workings and how they're operating as the company and and do some things to fix it or if they've got spam money. Whatever than they can create initiatives. That enable initiatives. Well we still again too. Need representation of people are all levels good correct representation and the reason say. That is the if you bring in of julia people. That's great. are they going to get promoted. Or is there support going to be correct in the organization that you're gonna have to in place to make sure that you have an anti racist society. If i mean say. I think that it's it's about making sure that we're hiring correctly everywhere. That's right from the top all the way down to the bottom said you've got representation within your organization for every rachel champion charlene. They will be countless this from all ethnic backgrounds. Trying to make change happen but while small steps are positive star there are still called for systemic. Change to take place and you guys clearly doing your bit to try and make some change in your very kind of small position your innocence. Trying to add to tackling that problem absolutely it's about getting those conversations going between different groups. I mean we talk about bain but you know there's a lot of diversity in beim itself so we really start there because it's not just about you mentioned south asian and then you've got lots of different groups within that so it's about talking to each other about our fears about our hopes about aspirations to do that in outdoor landscapes is the most liberating thing to do. So i think laying. Strong foundations is what we are trying to maseko doors. Because ultimately i think every everything and everyone east connected especially people and ecology. If we can get that going. I think the luck. The lot of the social economic and political problems can be tackled as well. That's why we love working for the outdoors. Working against racism working for equality by the context of outdoors is just so valuable so a year. On from george floyd's death is life actually any better for britain's black an ethnically diverse communities. We clearly talking about it. More and many pledges are being acted upon. But it's clear to me. Racism and inequalities are structural on institutionalized the pandemic also played a role in highlights in that many people are clearly trying to get to the root of the problem. And i'm hugely optimistic. This diverse country. We live in constant pow inequalities and discrimination. It will just take some time and a lot of joint effort on one of the ways. We can measure. Change is through data. Currently there is a big gap in it. It's not detailed enough but that could be about to change. Sky news is actually following a major new study from the center on the dynamics ethnicity which aims to plug a gap in the information on areas like health. the environment and discrimination where robust evidence currently doesn't exist it hopes up to around twenty thousand people across the country will share their experiences in the biggest story of its kind. You can find out more about it on our website and app just search the forgotten people look that so we got time for my thanks to rachel champion charlene and thank you for listening to another episode of the sky news daily podcast presented by me in machine and one that i think is hugely important.
