"Are a lot of and conservative MPs we know are not going to turn up because they're not standing at the next general election and the demonstrations and I think the the frustration in the north on the kind of levelling up agenda seems more pointed this year much pointed more than last year okay for now Caroline thank you so much we'll have more from you later in the hour that's Caroline Hepker live there at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester and now over to the US where the President Joe Biden has urged House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to ensure additional aid for Ukraine that's after that bill passed over the weekend to avoid a government shutdown did not include any extra money for Bloomberg's Derek Walbank joins us now for more Derek first of all this government shutdown has been avoided that's a great thing but what was the political cost well look the the big math walking into the start of this was that there was pretty much always going to be the vote to extend this funding at reasonably close to current levels if Kevin McCarthy could swallow the idea that he might be booted from his job right and he had been unwilling to do that he tried scores of things to try and get Republicans over the line pressing for cuts very steep cuts in some cases to things he wanted some policy writers that were going to just conservatives but he couldn't get enough of his party to go along with it it was a rerun of the debt limit negotiating scenario let's just pass anything and use that to increase our leverage couldn't get that done finally that forget it we're just going to go are right this on democratic both and and scored a very large when except for the problem that now the forecast that he made is is uh... of quite likely going to be coming true matt gates who has been a thorn in the side of mccarthy's uh... sense jump has has said that he's going to try to get rid of mccarthy as early as this week uh... we'll see what happens when that happens uh... but mccarthy right now is is running calculations on how he can save his position does that in fighting in the republicans risk the idea of more aid for ukraine being agreed yes well look at similar math on the ukraine stuff rather large bipartisan majorities in both the house who and want to the give senate additional who want aid to ukraine uh... we saw some language coming out from just that there was some uh... understanding our expectation that there would be aid money for ukraine coming the to house floor if you do get ukraine money coming clean on the house floor is absolutely going to pass and it's to going pass with wide margins uh... but the the pathway for how that happens exactly is a little bit uh... more in question as well as if republicans you know sort of demand offsets for that and try and use this is a point of leverage i think that's that's you know very much a sort of question overall though you would say that ukraine has still quite large bipartisan majorities that has become more of a contentious point on the right among public and uh... and and support for keys in in washington still very very much by partisan majority but not unanimous like it was at the start of the war all right thanks to derek wallbank joining for us uh... on that you can u s government avoiding a shutdown for now now we bring the use of the day here on bloomberg radio but now you can hear the latest news on -demand whenever you want to subscribe to bloomberg is now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button you can listen and subscribe to blimberg news bloomberg business app bloomberg dot com plus apple spotify and anywhere else you get your coming podcasts up next on bloomberg daybreak europe we're going to be joined by our market scourer eddie vandervolt well as as we'll be talking to us about that relief felt on the markets following the u .s shutdown and averted being and potentially what could upset that as we look at later in the week ahead as well and we'll be checking in on the latest corporate news here in london with leo kensher per who will have the london rush for us we'll be watching for the latest news out of bae systems among others in the london rush dale kensher per stay with us for all of us this is bloomberg . bloomberg on podcast feed the latest edition of the tape podcast a conversation with john hurdle with hurdle and we'll be right back. the price of that stabilization was huge because we've got no real yield so as an investor i like risk on risk off that's a term that has really become popular in the last 10 years and it's more of a trading term an than investing term we're always risk on because we think to fulfill our clients missions we've got to be in assets growth which are stocks and private equity and so forth so it's really a question. we're

"A thing. We don't do a thing So governor, let me ask you about the republican side on the presidential last night governor desanis One of your colleagues rolled out his campaign. I think governor sunoon is going to join I don't know if you're going to endorse anyone. I'm sure you worked with my buddy doug ducy for many years Does being governor help prepare someone be president? Does it does you know without any question, uh, you know the The strength of being able to make decisions the strength of absolutely running your own shop or running your running a store Minding the store in the correct way There's no question that it does but you know from the standpoint of Being able to to run a business, you know, I I I don't see how career politicians that have really never had a job How you know ask ourselves the question how they become wealthy, you know I mean, it's the most bizarre thing in the world on the salaries that are supposed to be paid Yeah, absolutely, you know being able to have run stuff You know from the standpoint of president trump and all of his businesses governors and and running stuff, you know Their own shop and everything we we should absolutely take notice of that because it's very important What is the website governor justice if people want to contribute to your senate campaign, by the way This is the lynchpin campaign. This will flip the senate back to 50 50 Then we got to win in pennsylvania and ohio and a couple other places montana But this is ground zero for flipping the senate. How do people help you? It's jimjusticewv .com And jimjusticewv jimjusticewv .com So I have one more question governor I i'm 67 And i've been watching west virginia from across the river for a long time And it used to be you couldn't turn around you didn't hit four democrats Now if you go down there go to charleston You can't turn around without hitting four republicans in every direction What happened in west virginia to go from a deep blue state to a deep red state? Barack obama That's exactly what happened. You know, there is no question whatsoever now You I would tell you just this, you know mansion Phil has real power in west virginia as a democrat And and and I can tell you that going back to Exactly what we have got to do as republicans now We got to take control of the senate. I mean if we don't take control of the senate now shame on us forever more Because if there's any state that we've got to have it's west virginia And absolutely if we can slam dunk west virginia As republicans what we should do then is take the excess dollars And pour them into montana and ohio You know, but but absolutely west virginians to me You know, and i'm so proud of them. It's unbelievable and I say this very selfishly but uh But they seem to always be able to get it right They got it right even in the midterms. You see west virginians Overwhelmingly in the midterms voted republican the reason they did that they didn't do that for the state candidates They did that because they were voting against the administration in dc They were voting against the biden administration And I truly believe that we should have swept all across the board in 2022 What on god's earth happened to us, you know, and so so we can't screw this one up now Bad candidates mean you lose elections. You're good. Can they because you've won before governor keep coming back. Jim justice wv Wv .com did I get that right jim justice wv .com? That right you and thank you for all you do every day. Thank you. All right, go browns We got to bring you back to the browns faithful Go see jimmy haslem and become get that brown t -shirt on i'll give you my logo cup in the back. Thank you governor.

"From what the Chancellor had to say. Yeah lots of good lines. The Chancellor is doing back -to -back interviews. He spoke for quite a long time to Bloomberg talking about a challenging period for the UK that the Chancellor does want lots of tax cuts. He wants to make the UK more prosperous. The plan from Rishi Sunak and from himself, Hunt from Jeremy he says is working but making it easier for businesses to grow is not easy. There are no shortcuts to tax cuts. Felt very much like a shot across the bows to what in some sense is quite a challenging speech from the former Prime Truss Minister Liz who is also here at party conference because the Chancellor will give his major address to conference this afternoon. But just ahead of that Liz Truss is going to be talking about the idea of cutting corporation tax from 25 % down to 19 % so Jeremy Hunt is speaking to us pointing to the successes that he and Rishi Sunak have so far but also saying it is too soon for those tax cuts you know there's a lot more work to be done yet. Tax cuts are something that came up in a conversation you were having earlier Caroline when you were speaking to the head of the Federation for small businesses as well I thought this was really interesting that you know the hints that perhaps corporation tax could something be that's targeted not so much of interest to Martin McTagg. No and not surprising really that the direction of small businesses is not that focused on corporation tax which is for larger businesses you know for the five half and million a small businesses it's much more about things like national insurance, about trade, about VAT which kicks in once you make £85 ,000 in the UK and the Federation of small businesses wants that threshold to be increased. No but I thought it was the overall tone from the FSB that was quite notable. Martin McTagg talked about record objection rates for loans for small businesses that small businesses are having to switch to overdrafts. He said that what worries him is the lack of consistency from the government that they that now we are in a moment of populist policies that undermines confidence in his words among the business community. In other words everybody is saying that we're getting into campaigning season and so it's much more short term and that is the opposite at least of what the FSB is sort of saying the opposite of what small businesses would want they they need the big problems that face the UK like growth like inflation like the cost of living and many other things to be dealt with. Caroline, the ousting I was going to say behind the scenes but very much in fact in front of the scenes among the leading conservatives over tax cuts does that serve to weaken Rishi Sunak going into what should be his big moment to reclaim the mantle of the Conservative Party look I think it's immensely difficult this is the first conference for Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister it will also be the first campaign that he'll be you know once we know when the general election actually is going to take place it's going to be the first one that he'll be campaigning as Prime Minister only a year on from Liz Charles yes there does seem to be a lot of ill discipline creeping in with MPs even ministers sort of pursuing their own agenda that does seem to be out in the open discussion about who would take over from Rishi Sunak were he to lose the the next general election the electoral maths is pretty daunting Labour has enjoyed a double -digit lead over the Conservatives and there is you know clear concern about whether there is cut through of something like this a Conservative Party conference but also about whether voters are really going to listen given you know the concerns around the economy inflation growth wages taxation being at the highest level since the Second World War I mean the Conservatives do have their work cut out for them they are though ramping up the attacks on on Labour the flip -flops are doing the rounds this is is a pair of flip -flops because of course this is the accusation against Keir Starmer on policy that he's you know he's changeable he's flip hopping they're red and black they're being sold at the Conservative Party conference so yeah the attacks on Labour also getting more pointed though yes and very interesting to see the the fashion forward choices being made by the delegates as well Caroline I wonder you know obviously train strikes bookending this conference as well you were there a year ago very at different a time for the Conservative Party does it feel like this will be a quieter conference given the political backdrop no absolutely not I mean usually and remember conference last year was in Birmingham so in a different city not Manchester I mean there are always demonstrations at these things but I think this year does feel very much louder yesterday the center of Manchester really had a lot of demonstrations we're going to be speaking to Labour Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham later on this morning again we saw him yesterday evening at conference doing the rounds he and a lot of other Labour leaders in the north are furious that the government has not made a decision about HS2 this is the high -speed rail link between London and Manchester and whether you know the most important parts here in the north are actually going to get funding and go ahead or not and also frustrated there hasn't been a meeting between them and the Prime Minister so I think that it's it is it does feel different I think that in the sense that there

"Hall is full yet but we were here yesterday surely not Caroline everyone's not up early to get their first coffee in well there are quite a few TV crews around us so yes yes there are journalists here but others are not here we were milling around yesterday we did certainly bump into some ministers I think that there is not much excitement that is mainly what I took away I think that the feeling is a little bit cagey 46 or 47 Tory MPs are not going to be here you and know again quite bizarrely the focus yesterday on perhaps who would take over if the Conservatives did not win it seemed to be a lot of positioning certainly for that even if it wasn't said outrightly and so I I think think it's a very difficult moment having said that the economy is brightening there is some news good for the Prime Minister in the sense that we've had better GDP growth in the second quarter falling inflation business investment is going up so there are some good things that the Conservatives can point to and of course as always in politics a year between this event and potentially the next general election it's a long time yeah it certainly isn't if we think of where we were last year and where we could be a year from now this certainly is an extremely interesting time in British politics and great to have you there in Manchester at the Conservative Party conference this morning and with plenty more to come in our coverage of that event as well on Bloomberg Caroline for now thank you very much this interesting to reflect on where we are with the British economy a story on the Bloomberg terminal this morning is that London stock market is in the cusp of becoming the biggest in Europe again this was something of course we talked about an awful lot of the time when Paris overtook London partly thanks to a rally in luxury shares as well and what we're watching now is because of the resurgence particularly in energy shares helped by higher oil prices of course we are seeing a bit of a reversal on the that trend London stock market getting inching closer to that level that France is at if we look at the dollar -based market capitalization 2 .9 trillion dollars for the London market versus 2 .93 for the French market so that is something that we'll be watching closer to the time as well well let's turn to talk from UK politics to US politics next president Joe Biden urging high speaker Kevin McCarthy to ensure additional aid money for Ukraine that's after the stopgap bill passed over the weekend avoided a government shutdown but didn't include extra money for Keefe has been following the story for us and joins us now Derek first of all the shutdown has been avoided but at what political cost are we talking about well the simple math for Kevin McCarthy the House Speaker through this entire exercise has been that he has had the votes to be able to move forward on a bipartisan government funding bill at roughly existing levels but that doing so could cost him a chance at his keeping his job eventually after exhausting all other opportunities McCarthy took that so he put through a stopgap spending bill for a month and a half it did pass with a healthy bipartisan mesh you know backing but here we sit walking into Monday morning and Matt Gaetz who bills himself as the Trumpiest member of Congress is talking about putting a motion to vacate on the floor this week to have the whole house decide whether or not Kevin McCarthy should still be the speaker of the house if Gaetz can pull a significant number of his colleagues and he really only needs somewhere in the neighborhood of about like five to ten of them to go do it then McCarthy would have to rely on Democrats to save his job in some form either voting for him or voting present and that might extract a cost Democrats might have a cost to do that because they have so far been very gleefully running against the house and its dysfunctions and the cost of buying into saving McCarthy's hide here could be substantial for the speaker. so that's one of the political ramifications to watch as well this funding bill that was passed though only goes until the seventeenth of november does that set us up for another cliff edge moment well it does I mean you know that's the fun thing with Washington if you if you got bored of the last cliff just wait a minute there'll be another one coming up but this one here I think is actually gonna be a little bit different for investors and the reason that I think that it's going to be different for investors is because you have a baseline scenario question right going into this one all of the talk was 99 % shutdown odds are higher no one was really thinking I mean I know I said on air that that that chance if McCarthy did this but I think the preponderance view was that that that he now you've got an example in this Congress of McCarthy taking the way out so what I think is probably gonna happen is you have a lot of investors adjusting their baseline scenario back to the idea of this will probably work out somewhere let's go with that until proven wrong rather than where we were which is this is probably not gonna work let's just sort of assume it won't work be happily surprised if it does that's a different baseline scenario shows up in different ways in terms of dollar in terms of treasury in terms of equity outlooks all this sort of thing and candidly you know we had been sitting there staring all around the world at a bunch whole of negative headlines it was nice to get a positive red out there somewhere right it's nice to start the week out with a positive sounding red headline on your terminal there's there's something to that yeah idea but briefly though the issue of Ukraine now you know part of where the conversation is going there how much support is there in Congress to extend more aid to Ukraine tons there is tons of support to do something for Ukraine the problem is right now is that it's become more issue of an on the right especially about funding Ukraine there are some people who are agitators in in the conservative media ecosystem who have raised a lot of skepticism Donald Trump is raising you know some amount of he's not the most enthusiastic backer of a lot of different things and and so there's there's a sort of restiveness rising on the right the way that this gets done is going to be interesting there's some there's some thought that having one big vote is going to be preferable to having a bunch of smaller votes which had been kind of the idea before so the question of how is an interesting one I overall there's a bipartisan support to do more for Ukraine that still exists but it's not unanimous like it was at the start of the war okay Derek Wobank thanks so much for bringing us up to date on that story from the US up next we'll be talking about what's markets moving with our markets reporter Valerie Teitel stay with us for that this is Bloomberg you Bloomberg radio on demand and in your podcast feed on the latest edition of the Bloomberg Businessweek podcast a conversation with dr.

"And somehow gets it to hezbollah is something that we should all be thinking about So uh mp woodward, I want to wrap up talking about dead drop by asking you very specifically Did you go into this to sell books or did you go into this to educate people about threats? Because thriller writers come to this for different reasons Yeah, the um, I think every Every thriller topic that I come up with and i'm just i'm just finishing up my my fourth book There's a lag as you know you in in publishing But every topic that that I explore is meant to help educate and expose Some facts that I come across in my research in this case, for example as I was looking into Israel and hezbollah and the history there the idf the israeli defense force puts out they do a Kind of a great job of trying to publicize Threats to get the world to pay attention so you can actually go on idf websites and they will Talk extensively and very openly about missile production facilities right in southern beirut in an area called the dahya Which is the you know the the the where the shia muslims are that better has blood run by hezbollah And there are missile production facilities there and there's not a lot they can do about them And the idf does this because they want the world to to act and react and when you couple that with the fact That you know the general the consensus opinion out there is that iran is very close to breakout This is something that's very troubling. No, it is now. Let me my my last question mike Will you tackle the chinese communist party? I ask all my thriller buddies Please take on the ccp Brad thor has done it a little bit because it's the only way americans We need a lacqueray for for china, but it's awfully difficult for americans to figure it out. What do you think about that challenge? Oh, man, I mean, that's my my last two books which haven't been which will come out soon both deal with china my My my particular area of expertise and my background and the thing that i'm concerned about is the chinese navy I was the the president of a taiwanese company during my tech career You know spent a lot of time in taiwan as a naval officer. I was in the taiwan straits, you know around 2015 2016 We were at parity with the chinese navy around 290 ships We had 294 ships then by 2025. We'll have 290 so we shrink They go to more than 400 combat capable platforms Which is something that is really really scary because they're building a power projection navy a blue water navy To guard the sea lines of communication That's that's something that they're going to strip away from the united states. And when you look at our dependence on Technology and manufacturing that comes out of asia. That is a very very scary prospect so the thing that i've been writing about is really around more around that battle problem and the naval battle problem and How a war like that might be fought in the very near term as opposed to say, you know 2020 2035 right? We're in the davidson window We're in there and so I've got to go back and read handler people have got to read dead drop Which is available now. When does the next mp woodward book come out when you start to turn to china? Um, it it will come out Probably in may of 2024 and if we lean on our publisher penguin random house berkeley's are the imprint You know, maybe that can be sooner great start. I mean dead drop is a hook It's an addictive book and mike congratulations on that dead drop will be a best seller Keep coming back and thank you for writing about the ccp I already knew enough about iran, but I love learning more I need to know a lot more about the ccp well done and keep coming back to the hui hui shot.

"This is Daybreak Europe, live on London DAB Radio. Let's start with a check on the markets for you. Deal avoid to a US government shutdown over the weekend, helping to boost shares in Asia and futures for Europe and Wall Street. The UK and Tokyo up by 0 .1%. Markets closed in Hong Kong, mainland China and South Korea for days today. We are looking at the S &P evenies on Wall Street up by 0 .5%, Nasdaq futures are two thirds of a percent higher. Eurostoc 50 futures are pushing higher although not by very much this morning. The 10 -year Treasury yield 4 basis points higher at 4 .61%. We've had another intervention from the Bank of Japan overnight that is to helping move yields higher in Japan to the 10 -year JGBs up by 1 .5 basis points to 0 .77%. The yen is two tenths weaker against the dollar but trading close to that 150 handle 149 .73. Those are the markets, today's top stories. The UK Chancellor has to use his speech at the Conservative Party conference to announce plans to raise wages for the country. Jeremy Hunt will today say he's increasing the national living wage by around 6 % to at least £11 an hour. The increase comes amid growing discontent within the Conservatives over Britain's record burden but the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told the BBC that changing that isn't his top priority. I'm a Conservative, of course I want to cut taxes. The best tax cut that I can deliver for the British people right now is to halve inflation. Inflation is a tax. It's a tax that impacts the poorest people the most. Consumer price inflation currently stands at 6 .7 % in the UK. Rishi Sunak has pledged to get up below 5 % by the end of the year. But not everyone is entirely onside with that view on taxes. The This is the Secretary of State for leveling up. Michael Gove says he wants to see cuts soon. Here's what he had to say when pushed on the issue. The discussion about where the tax burden should fall I think is one that we need to take not now but in a little bit's time. Should there be a reduction in the tax burden on individuals before the next election? Are we talking the next year? Are we talking three years? Are we talking five years? Yes, no, I would like to see the tax burden reduced before the next election. Those comments from Michael Gove come as the Prime Minister's predecessor Liz Truss also gets to set make an intervention on the issue. Later today she's expected to call for cuts to corporation tax, something she's previously targeted during the ill -fated mini -budget. In the United States the government has avoided a shutdown. A stopgap spending bill passed by Congress over the weekend will keep government open until the 17th of November but it doesn't include more funding for Ukraine. President Biden's budget Director Shalonda Young says she's sure it will be passed later. Those votes are there. We know there is a willing coalition and I certainly expect members and the Speaker to keep their commitment, not us to but the Ukrainian people we told we would be there. That's Shalonda Young. The deal also gives financial markets some breathing room. Some analysts had warned that an extended closure of federal agencies would spur fresh gyrations in the Treasury curve and hit stocks that rely on government spending. Household water bills in the UK are set to rise by an average of 35 % by 2030. That's water as companies plan to ramp up investment to £96 billion in the five years to 2030 for a series of projects including new reservoirs and fixing leaks. Industry Body Water the end The CEO of Microsoft will testify today in a major case against one of the tech giant's biggest rivals. The US government is seeking to prove that Google engaged in anti -competitive tactics to maintain its market dominance. More from Bloomberg's Doug Krisner. The DOJ has accused Google of paying $10 billion a year to rivals as well as smartphone manufacturers and wireless carriers to make Google search the default option. Prosecutors hope to use the testimony of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to show how his company couldn't unlock Google's hold on the search market. Last week a Microsoft executive said the company failed to secure a deal to put its Bing search app on Apple's products even though Microsoft was willing to offer far better terms.

He's one tenth of one percent lower this morning but with many Asian markets closed the Nikkei's two tenths in Tokyo, Eurostock's 50 futures are up by a tenth of one percent and the 10 -year Treasury yield is up by four basis points at four point six one percent. So those are our top stories this morning. The focus this week though on politics in the UK with the Conservative Party's annual gathering underway in Manchester. Rishi Sinak's first conference as Prime Minister and perhaps his last before the next UK general election at a time when the Tories are trailing Labour on average by 18 points in the opinion polls. Colin Hepker's about the Tory party conference for us this morning. Caroline good morning to you. Good morning. Now this is of course a big task for Rishi Sinak. Our opinion columnist Adrian Woldridge reporting this morning that we'll get the real Rishi at the conference. What should we be expecting? Well I think if last year in Birmingham felt chaotic under the short lived Liz Truss administration this year feels really fraught. Rishi Sinak is hoping to unite his party them get ready to fight the general election perhaps in October next year but amid a very difficult economic backdrop. Sinak has shifted gear. He's sounding a bit more combative. He's talked about being the change candidate despite 13 years of conservative rule but ill disciplines even he does seem to be creeping in MPs even ministers pursuing their own agendas. Yesterday was dominated by a battle a discussion it would seem over who potentially would replace Rishi Sinak if he loses the next general election. I'm thinking Home Secretary Swela Braverman, Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Bedonock and then also of course the maths looks very daunting given that Labour has largely enjoyed a double -digit lead over the Conservatives for some time now so it's about picking policies trying to unite MPs and conservative activists who are all here in Manchester so that they have impact within the next year to convince voters to give the party another go. Caroline on policies then I mean how easy will it be to create unity around these issues? What are the key issues that we need to be watching out for the discussions over? Look I think today is going to be all about Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and his his speech. I think the pledge to raise wages for the lowest paid workers i .e. to raise minimum wage is going to be a big one today up from £10 .42 to £11 that's the expectation but also returning to some conservative rhetoric cracking down on welfare claimants the government does want to boost the number of people working by a million so I think taxes benefits and are going to be front and centre. Hunt has said in the past that it would be virtually impossible to cut taxes until the UK economy improves and yesterday Rishi Sunak the the Prime Minister talked a lot about inflation being the main goal bringing inflation down that that in of itself is effectively a tax on people and yet at the same time you have very vocal MPs including Liz Truss the former Prime Minister who is also here in Manchester she's going to be speaking at the Growth Rally event alongside other former ministers that's the half past 12 today she is pushing for tax cuts ahead of the next general action that is a big a big focus for MPs and for Conservatives who are worried that with highest the tax level since World War Two the Conservatives you know are going to lose votes on that issue alone yeah I mean it's almost seeing Conservatives returning to type that we have the focus again back on tax cuts so lots of interesting moves behind the scenes we heard from Michael Gove there a few moments ago and as you say let's trust someone that we're looking forward to hearing from later as well what's the atmosphere though like at this on Prince Carlin it feels like a world apart compared to where we were a year ago yeah look we're here at six in the morning I can't say that the hall is full yet but we were here yesterday surely not Caroline everyone's not up early to get their first coffee in well there are quite a few TV crews around us so yes yes there are journalists

And he's old and he's got the bad beard Are they replenishing the well from that original revolutionary moment or is it aging out? I think it's aging out and I and I tried to portray that, you know, it was a 1979 Revolution and then that was followed really by Officers within that corps that that made their bones in the war with iraq And so we're I think as I looked into this There are a number of veterans from that from that force who are getting getting pretty old And I wanted to portray that a little bit with a younger set of people coming up a little more technologically astute Fairly clever and also ambitious.

No, I I well I I I invented it let's put it that way but I want what I wanted to highlight In in all my books what I try to highlight is that there are 17 us intelligence agencies and The job of any given intelligence officer is to collate that information coming from all these different types of sources and Sifting through this would be something that nsa is doing and sifting through All that information to find something useful for some intelligence officer working on solving a puzzle Was what I was trying to illustrate and it comes to dead drop is great.

They're all friends of mine. I'm very hard to impress on a thriller and I'm very impressed How do you go from being a Navy Intel officer to Amazon to deciding to write thrillers and not only thrillers really good thrillers Yeah, well one thing he was that when I was in the Navy I was with the US Indo Paycom and actually wrote wargame exercises And when you do those, you know, you're trying to stimulate Commands all over that that hemisphere and you're coming up with message traffic and scenarios for every kind of thing imaginable So that was that was pretty good training for for somebody who wanted to write the right thrillers You know, I saw that come through when you're writing about Camp Perry, which is the farm I have two kids in the in the Navy one is an aviator one is an Intel officer and they both gone through seer in Different places one in Maine and one in Western Washington State.

That's by the way what gets me into a thriller Believability granularity in the detail. How did you learn about Moyes? A couple ways. Well, first off at a macro level. I'm super concerned about the Iranian nuclear program Every day we're looking at the news I mean, they're very very close to what people call breakout which is enriched u -235 to 90 percent They're building a deep underground facility so When I started to look into this as to how to dramatize that and how to bring that to life in a thriller I thought a lot about well, everybody knows about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sort of this this this this Parallel force to the Iranian military with with good capabilities But in terms of their counterintelligence capabilities We don't talk a lot about that a lot about the tactics that they have and they do some scary things They attempted to kidnap an American a few years ago They kidnapped people regularly and I got started on this By reading a number of of biographies really and memoirs of people who had actually Been in the that that side of the Iranian National security establishment who defected those types of things and I actually talked to a few as well Well, this has got great tradecraft.

"But I think he really does think that Dan Lok ball is causing quite serious problems. He said he had a lot of pain after the quarter match. And then we brought it down. We thought maybe it was just kind of him and Felix, FAA, who had the issues with the balls who were very vocal on it. And a lot of the doubles players were having problems. So I think it's a case where there's a few factors whether that's kind of playing a lot, going different surfaces, but it does seem like a lot of players, I think you said the hulka runner set to pass called it was all kind of risk shoulder and elbow, which he thinks could be related to this Dunlop ball. So it's a real multitude of reasons, but it does seem like we're seeing a lot more walkovers, a lot more withdrawals, and a lot more retiring. So I think it's a bit of everything. Medvedev could have a very good point then. If the balls have changed as a result of the Dunlop balls, he's really getting under the fluff to find out what's going on there. Let's hope they don't want him to be there. The top sponsorship opportunity. You've got to deal with them before you say it. Yeah, I was going to say he wants the balls to come back. He's undercover slazenger sponsor. I think he is. I mean, are we seeing more on the men's game? I'm all withdrawals. I mean, if you look at, for example, eager to run check versus someone like Andy Murray, you know, their time on court within the space of one week prior to say like the Dubai and the Doha finals. I think Andy Murray played just shy of 20 hours and eager to play just over 5 hours. Massive difference. It's huge. And obviously, as a result, one person's body is going to be a hell of a lot more impacted than the other. So people just not getting the job done. Are we just playing longer and longer? Or is it just because people are better matched? Improvements going on all the time and all sorts of aspects and more matches perhaps people are just more evenly matched and then as a result matches are just going to go on and on and on. So yeah, it's a very tricky one. Thank you, David. Lots to think about. Lots of food, so I don't think we fully answer the question because there's so much so many factors.

"We're seeing these draws four or 500 not have as many quality players as we would have liked because they just feel like that's a needless transition that I don't necessarily have to make. He was there to get the ranking points, wasn't he? I think he was already in the area made sense. And he was like, yep, I'm having some of that. Exactly. And it's mission accomplished in many ways, so I agree. I think he might be looking at ticket to next year. Yeah, well, it's also a good travel, isn't it? He wasn't want to say a bit of Rio and Buenos Aires, if you haven't been there before, perhaps. I always feel that we always hear news stories about tournaments. I think I was really actually about Doha. Last week, like they're looking for it to be upgraded from a two 50 and to a 500. And I remember last week, we talked about that was a very strong field for a two 50. But you never really hear of tournaments actually being downgraded from like a 502 or two 50. Now, I'm not saying I'm not saying that Rio should be downgraded. But you don't generally ever hear those discussions and it always feels it only goes one way without ever considering the other way. Demotion for tournaments as well. I mean, let's talk about the two 50s that we did have because we had two 50 out in Marseille, which was one by the top seed hooped her cash. He beat Benjamin bonzi in the final were built bonzi second final, I think, of the year. He made his maiden tour final in Pune last month, but came up against she won in straight sets 6 three 7 6, so yeah, defeating bonzi, who was a local French lad. But her character, yeah, back to back to winning ways. Back to title winning ways. I don't think he's won one since last June when he won Halle. So nice for him to be back on the winner's circle. Yeah, Joel, what did you make of her cash's week in Marseille? What did she make of Benjamin bonzi painting to the final? I think for her casual was pretty scratchy to begin with. I think he was still trying to find some form, but he certainly I think grew into the tournament, think he had very solid win against Alexander bublik in the semifinals, and I think his serving, it got better and generally speaking, when his serve gets better and is more on song than he's a lot more of a formidable opponent. And in the final, I think, again, we just saw, we saw what we know I think about her catch when he plays his best tennis. It's usually his serve is doing really well. He's able to come into the net and his volleying just kind of finishes off the point. And I do think there is a case to be made that her cash is probably one of the best volumes on the tour at the moment. Didn't really have an answer to it and I was reading about bonzi and he's obviously having a very good season at the moment, but I feel like he's still got nerves and pressure to deal with because he had that final Pune last month and lost to Greek spore. And I think he had found it quite challenging, I think, trying to serve it out against fee in the semifinal. So I wonder also if there's any sort of nervousness that he had playing at home that played in her cash's hands as well. Yeah, because all for fee, French wild card got going to the semi, so the quite nice for the locals fee did benefit from a Yannick sinner. Withdrawal. He is going to be interesting, I think, to watch at Roland Garros. I think he's on the cusp of the top hundred. Yeah, he's on the cusp of the top hundred. It's inevitably going to happen. And who knows, is he going to add himself into the never ending list of who's the next French male number one? I have to say right now, but I would love to see a showdown on chateau. I'm sure we'll get many French versus French man versus French man clashes in prime time slots. Because that is how the French Open goes. But no, I think it was great to see that after our probably slightly too harsh, criticism of the French men's singles rankings at the moment. I think it was good to see that we have got some of these players who are pushing on a bit further. They have done. As well as some of the older generation is also doing well. So I think it's soon we'll have to drop it won't we will have to be celebrating when fee becomes top ten. So let's look at one last tournament before we take a quick break and that was the Merida open in Mexico, which is a WTA two 50. This was won by Camilla Georgie. She'd be Rebecca Peterson in three sets in the final Georgie, was unseated, but we all know what she is capable of on her day. She has one thousand back in the day. Yeah, let's talk about that one because although Rebecca Peterson get to the final was great. The one match that really caught all of our eyes this week was Georgie and son Stevens in the quarterfinal. It was a double bagel, which you don't see very often on the tour, Chris, you're a big slow Stevens fan. Did you tune in to see this or did you get to 5 love and turn off? I have taken the approach that it didn't happen. She's at a new tournament. She's in Texas. She's doing interviews about how important the tournament is out there. She's not worried about it. I'm not worried about it. But when I saw that score, the mind boggles, because that's not that's not a sound Steven scoreline. That's not a Camilla Georgie school line, I swear, Georgie will always give you a chance, or she's never got the consistency, I feel, to do it in two sets in that sort of complete fashion. I mean, generally speaking for me, that was the story that the tournament was just me being surprised with how well Georgie played and how consistent she was able to play. And even in that final, when she dropped that second set 6 one, she came storming back. So yeah, it was just general surprise when she is on. We do know that Camilla Georgie is very dangerous. I saw some of the stats from this that in terms of points one on second serve, she won a 100% of points one in a second serving Sloan one zero. So clearly, she was serving well and she was returning pretty exceptionally. She still did only when 6 of 12 break points. So there's something for her to improve on in that victory. But I'm praying for slow next week. Well, this week now I'm really hoping that she can put that behind her because I mean, man, that's got to hurt. Her first ever double bagel loss. I wonder if it's just, I mean, maybe she just wanted to experience one at some point in her career as well. It's like a tick box for every tennis player. Character building. Dish one out receive one. Who knows? Maybe she was really disappointed. She wasn't in Dubai against film tech and was like, I want a feeling of a bagel. What a feel like I'm being routed by someone. I mean, Georgie possible dark horse going into the golden swing. The sun shines up all, you know, we've seen she's more than capable on our hard court, having one Montreal in 2021. So we will see, but yeah, great stuff from Georgie in Mexico. Let's take a quick break now, but we will be back in the second half, discussing Novak Djokovic and his new record for most weeks ever as the world number one. And also rumors of Roger Federer commentating for the BBC during Wimbledon this year. I will be looking at this week's events as well in Acapulco and Dubai. So do not go anywhere.

"I know he's just come back on the tour after having issues with his thigh and hamstring. And I did think that inhibited his movement, particularly in that third set. I mean, it was quite obvious. He had to change up his strategy and just sort of go for breaking and keep the rallies at minimum. And although that worked to some point, nori was able to deal with it. So I do think that was quite a big factor, particularly as the match went on. But certainly I think nori has shown that he's just very consistent from the back of the court and also from the front of the court. Alkyl was bringing out a lot of the drop shots, but I felt nori was doing pretty well to chase a lot of them down and he just kind of kept composure and you considered nori. I think he was a set down and I think he was a set in a breakdown and he just sort of kept going, kept plugging away and yeah it was really I think pivotal for him obviously to win that second set and turn it around from a breakdown and given the results from last week putting that out of his mind as well really, really strong performance. And there was a bit of hoo holes, isn't there, I think we've heard since the result with norrie not being happy at alcaraz taking injury, timeouts. What's the story there, Chris? Didn't we have a point? What was he just getting a bit flustered in the circumstances? I think, you know, in the heat of the moment in the final, what happened was that Carlos was quite visibly injured and he pretty much shifted his game plan to try and shorten the points because he seemed to have sort of a leg injury. And so that obviously kind of threw off. Norway's rhythm or he felt that did. He wasn't necessarily aware that his opponent, he said, was in Jersey thought he was just actually playing a bit better because there was one game where Carlos was obviously not able to move as well, but he was just hitting winners for fun because he went for the go for broke mentality to kind of stop himself and making that injury any worse. So there was a bit of a bit of rumblings about the fact that to say that you didn't know he was injured and kind of having a bit of an issue with the timeout wasn't good from a sportsmanship perspective. And I think there probably is a bit of a point that if someone does take an injury timeout, it's within the rules. And it's obvious that he was injured. So I think it was the fact that he said he didn't know he was injured, which makes you a kind of a bit concerned because I think everyone watching was well aware of it. So maybe nori was too too in the final to notice. I do wonder with alcaraz, seeing this happen, whether has he been brought back to the torso early and maybe we look at Murray and he was saying around how look I know my limitations, I don't want to reach them because I don't want to get injured again and I wonder with whether alcaraz given what we've seen. We'll wait to see if he does play in Acapulco where I think he's a top seed, but it feels very, very unlikely. So yeah, I think there's a bit of addressing of the schedule and not maybe coming back to the tours as quick as possible because I do think this week I'll was a lot messier in his performances than last week and although I feel he's very exciting. He's box office news. I get that and I get that the ATP tour and their social channels want to show all the great winners that he hits from outside the court forehands down the line, et cetera but watching it on the TV, he was hitting also a lot of shots regular shots like quite long. It wasn't all just absolutely spectacular tennis. There was a lot of ugly tennis as well from alcaraz. And again, I think that just sort of played into nori's hand. And I'm just loving nori in the golden swig. It just feels like he's the only good European out there. And he's just really, he's just really relished it, I feel. It's a bit like that. That they did, isn't it? It's almost like those two are just waiting to play, where are they playing next week? On their tour of South America. But I was going to say on the point about Carlos, I think he does always make some errors. He doesn't necessarily hit the most winners, but the winners. Yeah, exactly, so I think that's kind of how he won the U.S. open. It was not always pretty tennis, and he played more hours on a court than anyone's ever played before. So he does have that sort of way you down mentality as well as kind of giving you some free points that would be bad if you didn't. I was going to say, you know, we did make jokes about the golden swing. Looking at how big a deal this is for nori. I was going to ask you both. It's a 500, a 500 title, is no small feat. But he didn't really have to play anyone until the final. And then arguably his opponent was sort of injured. So where do we stand on that versus the 1000 for the women this week in Dubai where? I mean, it was the one two three 8 15. I was at 15 in the world, yes. So it was really quite something versus just the number two and then no one else in the top 60s seems a bit skewed. Critique of a didn't have to play anyone, I think, ranked above 40. So all her opponents were in the top 40 to win to win in Dubai. And that was a thousand events. So obviously embryo is 500. But yeah, nori was playing, I don't know, 63 in the world, a 111 in the world, 83, 107 in the world. So very different caliber. If I'm nori, I would absolutely take that to be honest. You've still got to prove yourself and for him, I think he's looking at playing these events to get better on a surface he maybe doesn't feel as comfortable on versus other surfaces. So if you're going to be presented with this opportunity, go make the most of it and that's what I feel he has done. I think the drawback of playing something like the golden swing is that we've still got big hardcore events to come and he's got Acapulco now and then we're going on to Indian Wells and Miami and rather than be in the Middle East and Europe or have played del Rey. He's going to have to transition from the hard to the clay and now back to the hard and I think that's the drawback and maybe that's the

"In the Middle East now and look at the other tournament that was taking place out there. We had the Doha ATP to 50 in Qatar. And yeah, interesting final because we had Daniel meve in his second final in a row going for a second title in a row. Up against Andy Murray, another former world number one. Andy Murray coming through in classic dramatic Murray fashion throughout the week. So many match points saved. Saving 8 match points, a couple of last set tie breaks. He is Andy Murray the most entertaining player on the ATP tour these days. I mean, he definitely was at the Australian open for me. And I just genuinely think he provides the most value for money, almost. I think he's the story of the season so far arguably. I mean, he had a wild card into Doha. Again, I wasn't really expecting a lot. Yes, we've seen him play some fantastic matches at the Australian open. And he was in that first week. He really was I think the story of the particularly on the men's side. The story of the tournament. But again, it's been impressive to see him bring that to Doha and just show just what a battler and how mentally strong he is whenever he's down all these match points. He can just bring out his best tennis and really, really challenge his opponent that it is not done until it is done and it was amazing for him to get through all the way to the final and although he came up a little bit short against Medvedev. To me it was a little bit understandable because I watched some of the I watched the final and there were times when I was just thinking, does Murray look a little bit leggy given how many hours he's put onto the court in this tournament, but also this season as well. Yeah, so in just to get to the final, you know, it was up again, so it was Murray Medvedev and it did end Medvedev straight sets 6 four 6 four over Murray, which I mean, Chris, do you think that was kind of an acceptable score line, I suppose? It's Murray, you know, kind of obviously had a long battle to get to the final, probably quite knackered up against Medvedev who is much younger and was on his own little streak. What did you make of Murray in the actual final was this kind of a reasonable result given the conditions and where he's at really in his part in his career now nowadays? Yeah, I think it's a really tricky matchup for him in terms of Medvedev is also someone who makes you beat him. Especially at the moment. And so I think in this one, it was always going to be an uphill battle to get that ball through the court. Murray's not necessarily known as being one of the biggest hitters but this week I do think he did hit the ball a lot harder than I've seen him, especially on some of the big points he was pretty fearless. So it was one where I could maybe see this going three, but I think kind of the key key thing for me was that if Medvedev was on, this would be a very difficult challenge, even if he hadn't had that much time on court previously. But so many positives though, I think, generally, although that was a 6 four 6 four loss, the only time he did get to only play two sets and unfortunately he was on the wrong side of that one. But you've got to feel for Judy Murray. I mean, I think she did a tweet saying, can't you just get it done in two? Because the amount of times you must have spent watching her son on court this year is something else, isn't it? He's paying everyone, I feel in British tennis, connected to people she sent us through the ringer at the moment, but yeah, great, great result. I think he has already pulled out of Dubai given just he doesn't want to kind of force it. And he's obviously aware of his limitations, but yeah, great week for Murray. Yeah, but also up quite a bit in the rankings to 52 in the world. So yeah, I mean, that's great stuff. And Medvedev also continuing his good form as the first player to get back to back titles this season on the ATP tour. We did also have another well, we had quite a few ATP tournaments last week. Let's go out to the golden swing. And another Britain the final. Another point in the final different result this time though, because we had a Brit win. So Cameron norrie playing out in the Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and was up against Carlos alcaraz top seed world number two in the final. Again, we did say that it was looked like it was going to be another outcross. Exactly. Yeah, golden swing next installment, alcaraz and nori show. Does that mean the Rio open was just like a bigger, a bigger draw, but just slightly more filler. Is that what we're taking from that? Yeah, basically, a couple more serendip in there maybe. More than two third brother of the cerron dolos. Yes. They're actually triplets. But they're not twins, are they? They're just brothers. Oh, I don't know anyway. Let's not get into the seren dolo family tree. But yeah, Cameron nori, he's a winner on the HB tour again. 5 7 6 four 7 5. He came back to win in three sets against Carlos alcaraz. Yeah, Joel, what did you make of the final what did you make of norrie actually being able to topple alcaraz? Because when I saw there in the final, together again, I just kind of assumed it was going to go the same way, but what was the deciding factor in him turning that match around? Do you think? Yeah, I think a lot of people were sort of expecting all same matchup, same result. I do wonder that Carlos alcaraz did look like he was suffering from a possible leg injury.

"No, that was getting a bit ridiculous the way she'd kind of started out this tournament in the same fashion as last week where she only lost 5 games on the way to the title. Yeah, critique of a bit of a bogey woman perhaps good game plan and a combination of the fact that Sean takes as well wasn't at her best of feeling her best. And I do wonder if critique of has shown Schmidt actually we talk about she on tech and her high tennis IQ and being able to adapt on the core always sort of thinking and being able to kind of change up your strategy if it's not working. But I think with this match for me, again, critique of has showed that she has a very high tennis IQ as well. Dare I say even higher than Schmidt's she's a great we know that she's such a great doubles player. And I feel like she's got all these different experiences. She's a singles Grand Slam champion as well. She is another player who I think can just think on the fly and tweak things if it's not going her way. Case in point, that match against against sabalenka in the quarterfinals when she got bagel and came back to win. So yeah, I think that's helped her. It was interesting as well to read in January, she was like, I'm going to go focus on the singles. And her and senior both come to that decision after what feels like dominating the doubles scene forever. So it certainly looks to be playing dividends and I'm really excited by this result because of course we've got the hardcore coming up in Indian Wells and Miami but we know critique of his form on clay. French Open, Grand Slam champion and you'd say that's FinTech's strongest surface, it needs to say, if there was one surface, she was the most unstoppable on, it probably be the Parisian clay, but this is again, I think put a little bit of a little bit of reminder to spin tech that's not going to have it all our own way. Yeah, should they meet at Roland Garros? It could get interesting given the last two times they've played. Crash is now back up to 16 in the world ranking rankings and given that she missed Indian Wells and Miami last season. She doesn't really have many points to defend because she was out injured for a while. So I'd expect her ranking to go back up there where she was before if she continues her how good form she's on her own sort of little wind streak really and yeah, also only the 5th female player to beat in the top three seeds in a tournament in the last 40 years on the WTA Tour. So it doesn't happen very often that you actually kind of take out the top three seeds. So yeah, and also interesting school lines, like you said, she was bagel by Savannah came back to win and absolutely thrashed Jesse pegula in two of the three sets that they played. So that was some interesting interesting match ups. But yeah, I'm already thinking Roland Garros could be could be interesting in that respect. One match that caught your eye Joel, I know you love a bit of a sort of scoreboard intrigue. It was the Madison keys coco Goff match. Tell us why it was, in your words, possibly the worst match on the tour this year. I mean, we've just spoken about our highlights this for me was a low light because I was, I was really looking forward to this match. Goff, keys. We both know they've got tremendous ability and talent. And when they can play, they could put on a fantastic spectacle, did that happen in this match? Absolutely not. 14 winners to 82 unforced errors combined. In the match. Let me just give you a distribution of cocoa Goths 64 points that she won. One was an ace, three were winners, 51, 51 were Madison keys unforced errors, and then we had 9 keys forced errors. Yeah, it was, it was a very messy, it was a very, very messy match, and I mean, Chris, is there a player, no more frustrating, I feel the Madison keys in terms of has ability, but you're just like, where is it? The erratic Ness she can show is, to me, at times, just baffling. Yeah, I'd agree with that. I think when we've seen a bunch of first came on, the torn even before that, when she took out, I think she took Serena out in a one set shootout in world team tennis back in the day. Immense talon immense shop making, her movement's been improving, but it's one of those ones where she's off. She's really off. And I think there are some matchups that bring out the worst in her and players that are very mobile or can kind of hit very, very big. Teams seems to really cause our problem. Their last match was pretty ropey as well. At the U.S. open and coco came through that. And that was also pretty bad numbers. I think I remember that wasn't the most enjoyable watch. But I'd say, I mean, if we're talking about players who are up and down, I mean, we're going to get to Sloane Stephens later. So maybe I should keep a bit quiet here. Oh, I thought we thought we'd agree not to mention sleigh and Stevens this episode, Chris, but yeah, we will reveal why later for those of you who don't know what happened in the week.

"Nori takes revenge on alcaraz in Rio and Djokovic surpasses graph for most weeks at number one. Kim Chris, today is the 27th of February and we are here to catch up on the week in tennis at tennis weekly headquarters, especially backed by our crowdfunders Caroline girling and Stephen rankin. It's been another entertaining week on the tour. A surprising week, actually, because eager schwinn tech, oh my word, lost to barbora cricova in the final in Dubai. We had the Brits doing very, very well with cam nori winning in Rio, as well as Andy Murray getting to the final losing to Medvedev, who's made it back to back titles and consecutive weeks in Doha. And we've had some historic news today, Novak Djokovic has surpassed Steffi Graf for number of weeks at world number one. Guys, it has also been a historic occasion because it's been a sad sad day for me because malek yasiri, one of my favorites, one of my favorite players who's history has been entwined with the story of the podcast. He has been sent into retirement today in Dubai in the men's event by Alejandro davidovich for kina. He had a wild card. He went out very easily and now I've got to spend the next hour or so I feel like processing this sad sad information I've got to be completely honest, I'm not a 100% sure who that is. Oh, Chris. Chris, you don't know who Malik jaziri is. I know this is bad. Jolie more hurt by the fact that Chris doesn't know who he is or the fact that he's now retired. A bit both to be honest, yeah, I'm absolutely devastated. I thought maybe there was maybe there was one more run he could go through to the second round on the third round. Maybe he could take another wild card into an event in the Middle East, but sadly not, and yeah, he's hung up his tennis racket, although he will still be on the tour. I believe he is now. I wasn't even aware of this. He is the coach of vasek pospisil, but yet he's now officially hung his racket up, he's playing days are over. That's quite an interesting partnership. But I mean, Chris, so the backstory for yourself and for any listeners who haven't been with us since the early days of the podcast. Myself and Joel bonded over a malek jaziri match at the Australian open in 2018. It was against Salvatore Caruso. Another name you may never have heard of. Was this on a rod laver? No. The furthest from the main arena and even though it was like it had gone late, it was like 5 sets. It's still felt like there was only about 30 40 people watching, but it was that sort of time where I did, you know, I was talking to Kim about, hey, should we start a podcast? And that's how you series so related and entwined in the podcast law. I don't even know who won that match between him and cariso, but I remember someone accusing the other player of feigning an injury and all sorts. It went a bit sort of grudge match. Kim, I think the biggest thing to have come out of that match was the podcast, not the result itself. It was the formation of we should get them both on. He did. We should get the word. He did win it. I can confirm. It went to 5 sets and he won it 6 three in the final set. So what a result for malek. I'd love to have him on. We could ask him how significant that match was for his career if he remembers it even if he remembers that the crowd. Yes. Exactly. Let's come back to the present day though, otherwise we'll be spending the whole episode perhaps reminiscing about random matches at AO 2018, which isn't what most people are here for. I'm sure. What's been your highlight from this week on the tour? Joel, I mean, your highlight from the tennis, but I also, I am dying to know how your pepper army pancake went as well. So if you can kind of fill us in on both of the great. The less said about that, the better, I think, yes. Listeners, yeah, I suggested maybe pancake and a pepper army sort of rolled around each other. Yeah, it's not a thing. It does not work. I definitely do not have the peperami in the fridge before eating it like cold and hot. It's the contrast. It just doesn't work. It's a recipe for disaster, so we can leave it, we can leave it firmly there, but yeah, in terms of the actual action on the court this week, what my highlight was and it's my highlight because it just gave me a lot of confidence and it was maxime Crecy in Marseille against Jeffrey Blanco and he served what is dubbed the reverse perfect game, which is four double faults in a row broken to love. It was very messy. He still won the match, which was great, but yeah, watching that, it just sort of gave me some confidence that, yeah, it does happen to the top players as well. Messy from Crecy, goodness. That is a bad game. I love that messy. I do think though that we have seen like this transition, this slow evolution of more and more players being like, I'm just going to serve two first serves as opposed to, I'll do a first serve and then I'll have my very steady second serve, which is my high percentage play. I do think you get more and more players now like Crecy, who if you watch it, you can see why you serve affordable faults. He was just he was just going for it on every serve and obviously that's a completely different approach and mindset to have. But it's certainly feels like for me something we've seen become increasingly popular on the tour over the last couple of years. And he does do a lot of service practice I was going to say, you know, nice of his game is to serve in the volley. So maybe he practiced it more than others, so he backs himself to make it more than missing. The odds are very much in favor of him making one of them, but it did look a bit like when he got to three double faults. He wasn't hopeful for that last one. I suppose by the time he'd done three, he thought I might as well do for right now and then just call that game a bit of a rise. Chris, what about you? What's amused you from the world of tennis this week? And I also want to ask, I think you having some pancakes last week when we were having some galette. Yes. How are your galettes? But I sent you a picture. They weren't very well. It is with buckwheat flour, did find that out.
Dear Dyslexic Podcast
A highlight from Episode 52 Dyslexia and Workplace Law
"Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Dear Dyslexic podcast series. I'm your host, Shaye Wiesel. Before we get started, I'd like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and to pay my respects to this podcast is proudly sponsored by a DDF community member. If you love our podcasts, then why not sponsor one today? Find out how at deidyslexic .com. Today, I'm thrilled to be speaking with Ben Fogarty. Ben is a barrister at the Deaman Chambers, with expertise across a number of areas of law, including discrimination law, specializing in disability discrimination. Ben was part of our 2021 disability conference, and his presentation was so well received, I wanted to have a follow up conversation with him about his work and disability law. Ben has worked for a number of organizations, including the Intellectual Disability Rights Service, Darwin Community Legal Service, and the New South Wales Disability Discrimination Legal Centre. We hope you enjoy this podcast today. Thank you for coming on the show, Ben. Thanks for having me, it's a pleasure to talk some more and share my knowledge about disability discrimination law, but other laws that may assist people with dyslexia. Can you give us a little bit of background on where you've worked and how you've helped previously? Sure. So just recently I clocked over or clicked over 10 years as being a barrister in New South Wales. Prior to that, for 12 years, I was a lawyer, I think. I've been sort of doing legal stuff for 22 odd years. The latter parts of that, probably eight or nine years, I worked in community legal centres, which I absolutely loved. The first one was Redfern Legal Centre in Sydney. The next one was New South Wales Disability Discrimination Legal Centre. Then I went to Darwin for a bit, to Darwin Community Legal Service. Back to Sydney, to Intellectual Disability Rights Service, now called Ability Rights Service, and also in Sydney, obviously supporting and giving legal advice to people with cognitive disability. Then I just did a Homeless Persons Legal Service, that was my last solicitor job, and in between that I did some work in one of the big law firms, and I'll probably come and talk a bit more about the big law firms in Sydney in their pro bono section I filled in for a partner there who was having maternity leave. I taught criminal law along the way as well at one of the unis in Sydney, UNSW, so I've kept myself on my toes that way. I've done disability discrimination law probably since 2004 when I was a principal solicitor at Disability Scrimm Legal Centre, and then I've continued to do it all along the way. I've got a matter right now that, fingers crossed, is just about to settle for a young person with physical disabilities that's gone to the Federal Court, where again I might talk about that later, about where things can end up going to. So how did you get, because working in law you can, there's so many different areas that you could be working in, what attracted you to working in this space? Like my whole career probably, I meandered around. So I left uni and got a summer clerkship, which means you're going to these big law firms and they schmooze you and it's never, well I knew it was never going to last forever because I wanted to do sort of soulful work with the greatest of respect to those places. So then I kind of left that realm after four or five years and I had said to myself that I would always volunteer and just never did that and felt a bit bad about never having done it. So I had my teaching gig at uni part -time and I was doing some tutoring as well and so I went to Redfern Legal Centre, in fact I went to a few and said I'd like to volunteer, I am a lawyer but I've worked at the other end of town, can I do something? And they took me on board and they re -engineered my brain to be able to speak to people as opposed to corporations. And then the job came up across the road, it was literally across the road, they were looking for a principal solicitor at the Disability Discrimination Legal Centre and I don't know, I just loved it. I loved and still do love helping individuals and just the feeling that you're achieving a result for an individual that particularly where if you're doing it pro bono or at a reduced rate, they wouldn't, or through Legal Aid, those persons wouldn't have access to a lawyer at all. So I just, I don't know, I've got a real buzz out of that, I always have. It's a stark difference to the corporations that I used to work for. Again, that's something some lawyers like to do but I just felt like I was a bum on a seat and if I wasn't there, someone else would be there. Whereas Redfern Legal Centre, I can still remember the matters, this was 2003 or 2004, you know, I can, they still sit in my brain about people that I helped and how grateful they were. I was really moved by the genuine gratitude that humans would give me or people would give me that I hadn't found in my career so far. So continued it's and, you know, really, I mean, I do work, I do work these days, employment work for respondents, but I like to think too that I bring a sort of fairness to that and understand both sides and most of those matters, many matters resolve and mediate, they don't run, so yeah. Wow, thank you, because I know there'll be a lot of people out there that not just that you've helped but that you will continue to help and it's such an important area. We get a number of calls through 1800 our helpline, which is a peer support helpline really, people coming to us that feel they may have been discriminated against. What we see come up frequently is people actually graduating and then not being able to pass the registration and so trying to help them navigate to a certain point where then they need to decide do they get legal support or who do they go to to get that help. So we're not a legal service at all, that's not my background. So when people or people that have dyslexia, because I think one of the key challenges for workplaces is they don't have a really good understanding of or awareness of dyslexia and that it is a disability under the Disability Act and that people can be discriminated against if they don't access the reasonable adjustments or the supports that they require based on their disability. So I think that's one of the challenges in the workplace but how do people go about seeking that support if they're struggling in the workplace or they feel that they've been discriminated against and I mean that's a huge question and we don't have a lot of time but maybe if you could give some thoughts around some starting blocks for people that may be feeling this is happening to them. Yeah okay, a few things to think about, hoping not to teach people to suck eggs but always try and resolve it with the employer. Obviously if it's an employment context try and do it informally. Anti -discrimination New South Wales or ADNSW in the Australian Human Rights Commission, the two bodies that you take a complaint to in New South Wales at least will always ask you have you tried to resolve it informally. Most people have, that's what we try and do, don't we try and sort it out and not have to make it go any further. Both of those courts of call and you can bring a disability discrimination act for the disability of dyslexia in employment to either of those places. There's two separate acts that provide that right and both of those avenues, both the ADNSW and Australian Human Rights Commission try to resolve matters without lawyers by way of conciliation. If one side wants to bring a lawyer and the other side that is the complainant, the person doesn't have one, they'll make sure that it's a sort of fair playing field when it's a conciliation. So the starting point, I know people will say I'm nervous but those two organisations support people to bring matters to conciliation. They'll assist people when they'll file a complaint, they'll say to them is there anything else you want to add to it. They can't advise them but they'll make sure that they have everything they need to go into a conciliation. Now most conciliations resolve matters, some don't and when they don't that's when you need to think about whether you go to court and definitely at that point you want to talk to a lawyer. Some people might say along the way I don't feel that I want some support going in there, that's fair enough. Advocacy groups I know depends on disability, depends on where you are and sometimes they're few and far between but an advocate may assist a person just to be there to support them through the conciliation process and I don't see why the Commission or the Anti -Discrimination Board wouldn't allow that as long as that person in the conciliation just sort of abided by the rules and just supported the person. If you're a union member they might support you although I've heard mixed reviews about unions and they don't often have the expertise and their lawyer might have to do employment law and all different sorts of law and may be reluctant to run into an area that they're not rely on unfortunately. There are a couple of legal centres, Australian Centre for Disability Law in Sydney, again very limited resources. They do disagreement work and they would be a place to go to. Is that so nationally anyone could access their service? Yeah so that used to be New South Wales Disability Discrimination Legal Centre where I worked but then they got some different funding and they're now national and they're not just discrimination but I saw their annual report because I'm a member of theirs a couple of days ago and still 80 per cent of their work is the scrim. There are also some other legal centres and I've been out of the loop a bit for a while but there are some in other states so I know Victoria's got a couple of disability rights places, Villamanta, some others that specialise in disability. I want to say AED Legal down in Victoria do a lot of employment law for people with disabilities so there are other places if google you NACLAC, I think it is, N -A -C -L -C, there's community legal centres, Victoria, New South Wales, Australia you'll find and just work your way through that. You'll find the legal centres but again most of them have very limited resources and such a big market of people that need their help. Some of the big legal firms, so the place I worked at, a number of them will do discrimination work but I suppose it's finding out who they are, how to contact them and they have their parameters around who they support but they do discrimination work. Probably you need Australian Centre for Disability Law or someone like me just to make that contact first and say I'll speak to them but equally if you go onto their websites, you know the bigger ones that run in most of the cities across Australia, you can look up, if you just google pro bono and look up law firms, you'll start seeing some and there's nothing to stop you to pick out the phone and give me a ring. In fact I recall doing, I referred a client, a fellow with dyslexia many years ago from the centre across to one of the law firms to help in a matter now that I think about it some time ago. So yeah there are those areas of support. Legal Aid New South Wales, I can't speak for Victoria and Queensland but they're pretty similar I think, they have a human rights section that will take on matters in limited budget. They'll take on matters where there's you know real systemic change that could happen from it. So again you know there might be someone with dyslexia and employment or even with respect to a service where you know you can see wow if this is happening in this office here and it's a national office or in this shop here and it's a chain store across Australia and the person can't get any informal resolution it might be one that Legal Aid says this is a good one, this is one that we want to take on. So there are a range of different places if a person has a claim that looks systemic, there are pro bono places, there's Legal Aid to talk to. Thank you for listening to this podcast. The DHUB is our digital learning space where you can access our first Australian e -learning courses for those working and supporting dyslexic employees, as well as webisodes, online courses, communities of practice and much much more. So head to the DHUB today and start your learning journey dhub .ddyslexic .com. Places like yourself and different advocacy groups that know more can almost be the middle person between someone like me or those law firms and the person just goes I've no idea how I find a lawyer and do I have to pay and how much would it cost because you know these matters aren't about million dollar matters so there aren't private lawyers who are going to take these matters on they're usually about I'll say the principle of the matter and that's as important as anything in my view. So there's very few privates that you could one that I would trust know the law and two that you'd send the person to and they're going to spend thousands of dollars on a matter that really you know the service or employer shouldn't have done in the first place. So yeah they're limited but if you can get through to some of the people like myself or other the firms or legal aid or what have you they'll be able to steer people in the right direction. And so throughout through your working career have you had or seen many cases where someone with dyslexia has taken an employer or an organisation to court? I've seen I remember one in particular a big private school in Sydney where I acted for the parents and and forgive me I know there's dyspraxia there's dyslexia there's a range of different different disabilities that I don't know enough about but I think this was more of a this involved in you might say this is this is an aspect of dyslexia is the processing between this child's looking on the board and writing down and they needed supports around that their brains really as you again not suggesting people dyslexia aren't really bright of course this kid was super bright and he was in an excelling class and he's in this school is renowned for getting brilliant brilliant marks so he could do a lot of amazing things but there were certain things he couldn't do with respect to stuff written on the board and the school just refused to do it I think they thought we don't want something like this going through the HSC la la la la it was also a political school and there was a lot of pressure being put on by some powerful old boys and I'm trying to remember what the result was but we took it on for a while and and I think in the end sadly we and this often happens in education matters is that the the blood is so bad and there's so much mistrust distrust between parent and school and principal that the only sad sadly the only outcome that's going to work for for the sanity of the child and the parents is to go to a different school I think that's what happened but it gave them a red hot crack so that was an education matter I think that was when I was at the Disability Discrimination Legal Centre and not long after another one was and this I'm pretty sure this is the fellow who I referred off to another to the firm but I helped him for a while this involved a an MP's office asking and demanding that this person only contact that office by writing I hope I don't give this away for someone who might be listening to this but I'm de -identifying as best I can but first a shocker the MP obviously didn't like this one of his constituents because this constituent exercised a democratic right to be telling his MP certain things and he'd come down or he'd ring and this MP turned around knowing knowing that my client had dyslexia and said no no next I'm not refusing you access to my office what I'm telling you is you've got to put it in writing before you get you get here and I just couldn't believe it I should have believed it I we then went and had a meeting with this MP and the client came with me I've got to say this is pretty wet behind the ears in those days I'm a lot more robust now but I've never felt more intimidated and bullied by this MP in this meeting he gave us about five minutes before this was we had to go down to his just office yeah it was amazing and he said I've got to go now the bells were going ran off down to my parliament so those are the two that stick in my mind some time ago not not what great outcomes and that one I think in the end he backed off because it was a lot it was a lay down there was no reason why you know if we'd run that if we'd run that through to I think we were I think we were he was about to file in the anti -discrimination board as it then was so under the state act but either way there was just no there was no defense that that MP could have could have run to defend that it was just it's just being excuse my French and a -hole um and didn't want this guy to be to be exercising his right I mean you're an MP mate um suck it up this guy was a lobbyist and someone who was in your constituency you needed to listen to him I haven't had a lot of um others than that I remember one and I can't remember whether it was a matter we took on or whether it was one that I read it so long ago but in terms of a and it gets down to this defense of inherent requirements which which some of the people that come to you might hear about which is where you can't adjust where you're asking for a reasonable adjustment that so affects or changes the role i .e it removes parts of the role of inherent requirements that the laws as well the employer is entitled not to make that reasonable adjustment and they're not actually breaking the law so there was a case about a fellow who needed to read it was a warehouse case from memory and it might have been a matter that came to us and he he couldn't there were aspects of the reading of these of signs in this warehouse that he had trouble with I can't so long ago now I can't remember I think we did resolve it and there might have been a really clever way with color coding or numbering that he was fine with that they could do it and so I think we might have been able to get a resolution but yeah I haven't had one for a long time not at the I'm bar so not sure whether people were just you know who knows you probably know better than me as to why people they just cop it or you know the classic I don't know if I talked about it now I can't remember what I said I don't think I did in my talk for your conference but you know people that come to you would talk about the age -old problem with an invisible disability when do I disclose that I have it do I do it at the interview how do I do it when do I do it why do I do it and why is it relevant and it's all well and good for me to pontificate and say well they can't do this and this but are you ever going to be able to prove why you didn't get the job was because of your dyslexia because you disclosed it and it's interesting you raised that because through the research I'm doing we've been interviewing people with dyslexia and that's been one of the initial barriers is where people have asked for reasonable adjustments in an interview and they said I'll just give it your best shot you'll be right or and they haven't but it feels like it's because of their disability and if they've had those reasonable adjustments and they probably would well they would have been able to do a better job at the application doesn't mean they might have got the job but at least they're able to work to the best of their ability and I think we could probably have a whole another podcast on reasonable adjustments and that conversation around when does it become not reasonable they won't take us down that rabbit Warren today I mean the most inane but accurate response to that is that each each set of circumstances turns on its own facts and that's just important for people to realize that just because Jack down the road got a job and their employer adjusted it doesn't necessarily mean that my employer is discriminating against me if they're not giving me that adjustment it's quite subtle and you know because your employer might have a greater income my role might be slightly different to Jack's it's yeah it's it's really until you know all of the relevant circumstances of the situation it's hard to kind of say to someone oh yeah you should run your case because they don't have a leg to stand on with inherent requirements or those adjustments they suggested you know do fall short and the ones you argue are reasonable and they should have made them yeah one to answer off the cuff it's a difficult area isn't it but and I wonder whether um that's why people don't push forward and get the support or take it further they just quit that job yeah it's too hard and I think in most cases it's probably people leave the job I think that's right they leave the job and they don't have the energy to have a fight or knowledge that there's anything much they can do about it and it may have become normalized for them they may that may have been what's happened to them for most of their lives and careers so it's quite sad and again if you're running a discrim case against an employer it's probably almost too late the human you know the human interaction and the ability to continue to work with them you're probably if you haven't been able to informally resolve it with them then then you're probably not going to keep the job or you're not going to want to sadly you know always in disability the disability rights space changing attitudes and and making people empathetic and you know that's what it is at the end of the day disability discrimination is about walking my shoes or push yourself in my chair for a day and I think pretty quickly you'd resolve the complaint it's really about understanding and that you can't change you can't change ignorance overnight you can't change stereotypes we see it everywhere and all sorts of discrimination but particularly disability and the stats you know there's I've been reading stats for years in employment work and policy work we used to do in the centres about people with disability statistically are more loyal employees than people without disability they get a job and they stick to it and their heart you know that's what the stats show and they've shown that for years I know you know part of what I've told you on the disability royal commission and I know recently they had an employment one might be worth people having a look at that where Graham Innes former Australian Human Rights Commissioner spoke and I think they're going to do another one next year on the topic of employment it was only a couple of weeks ago it was before the public hearing I was involved in and Graham talked about he gave evidence and talked about stats those sorts of stats again more more up -to -date ones but that that might be interesting for people who are interested and really it's something if people aren't aware people with dyslexia aren't aware it's you know it's about them as well it's about violence neglect exploitation etc but it covers it's wide ranging it's coming whole there whole areas the disability royal commission website's pretty accessible and you can get I think you can access all of the transcripts you know audios all that sort of stuff it's totally accessible so if people are interested in looking at that and it's it'd be a public hearing on employment in December or November maybe late November this year. So or 20 so it just happened yeah just happened okay I heard in the media I was too busy preparing for my own and I think it was only a very short one a day or two and so I think there might be a follow -up one next year on again on the topic of employment for people with disability. That'd be good to watch that space and to learn more about in your with your experience are there some key things that employers could be doing I mean you just touched on empathy and walk in you think employers could be doing to better support their employees with disabilities whether it's dyslexia or just in general. It's hard to say I mean you would have thought I mean I with with COVID and the effects on you know the employment market and the and the really volatile employment market we have and I know it affects different areas you know obviously not suggesting people all become fruit pickers because we can't get you know Polynesian people and kiwis to come over and and pick all the fruit but you know I would have thought at the moment in a lot of industries and I see it even if I go past cafes or restaurants and I know they're they're struggling with it we're going to close down again but I would have thought now is a time where employers are really looking for employees and ought to be a bit more broad -minded about who they take on and people are keen and and willing to work and they have to make a few adjustments that they would want to take them on and if they find them loyal and willing to do all sorts of shifts to and being flexible with if things change that really there's a bit of a shift in favour of employees but I don't know about that.

Justin Trudeau Says You Should Trust Your Government
"Cut 20, Trudeau says the MPs who vote against the emergency act indicate that quote, they don't trust the government to make incredibly momentous and important decisions. Obviously they don't trust the government, but the fact that they say that out loud and it's some sort of insult in Canada shows the different philosophy governing a country like Canada versus America. In America, not trusting the government is a huge part of one of our major political parties. We are naturally skeptical of centralized power and you should be. If you are embracing of centralized power, you hate history. Either you either hate it or you are ignorant, your intentionally ignorant of it. Big anything usually falls apart. Big anything is usually corrupt, the big UN, the big WHO, big China, big pharma, big Hollywood, big government, the big IRS, play cut 20. I can't imagine that anyone who votes no tonight is doing anything other than indicating that they don't trust. The government to make incredibly momentous and important decisions. But like I said, I am confident that the majority of parliamentarians will stand up to support our values to stand up support our democracy and they

Times Justin Trudeau Controlled Liberals in Canada 7 Years Ago
"How else can one explain the police enforced acclimation of Andrew Leslie as the liberal candidate for Orleans Even with hundreds of liberals attending the meeting to show their support for another candidate and form a Trudeau leadership rival it was clear from the beginning that Leslie was Trudeau's handpicked favorite and certainly wouldn't be stopped by pesky processes like democracy Just the imagery of Trudeau's chosen candidate being selected with police intervention is scary It shows that Trudeau doesn't just admire China's dictatorship He would practice one if he had the chance The nomination in Orleans is only the latest rigged open nomination quote unquote Despite Trudeau's promises to actually practice democracy at least half a dozen liberal nominations had been rigged or tampered with so that their direct intervention Trudeau's office Mysteriously disqualifying candidates changing nomination dates paperwork going missing using dirty background politics Auto ensure the leaders candidate is chosen at any cost But those are only liberal candidates surely Trudeau would loosen his grip on his caucus colleagues once they've been elected Whitney Unfortunately no The liberal caucus randomly learned one morning early last year that their leader had come up with a new dictate that all liberals would be expected Now required to vote pro choice Period When Trudeau's pathetic attempted defense that they were the party of the charter obviously missing those small sections about freedom of conscience and religion agitated more than a few liberal MPs he attempted to invent some weird grandfathering rule But then he abandoned that too

Sydney Watson Comments About Mark McGowan Translating English to English
"So what is going on in your home country of Australia We're going to play a video at some point later in the show of a MP over there I don't even remember his name Mark something or whatever Mark McGowan and you saw it and he's doing a public service announcement and Sydney he translates English into English with an Aboriginal translator What is going on What happened to this wonderful country Why is it turning into a police state Okay so I think the first thing that a lot of Americans seem to think is that Aussies have an always will be like America and the reality is that I'm not surprised by anything that we're seeing back home at the moment The video that you're referring to I saw that as well And it was just it's so tragic And so I'm glad you're going to play it because it's humiliating I think for a lot of us And for people who don't know the Aboriginal population I think there's fewer than 1% of the population or Aboriginal but they do have their own little dialect And they also have their own languages and what have you but this video is just disgusting And it's kind of soaking too because aboriginals understand English They're not you know it's not like they have mental problems and they don't know what we're saying So this is really bad But insofar as what's going on to Shelley go to remember that it is a Commonwealth country it's based around English common law and things like that So a lot of what's going on is predicated on the fact that all these are not super stoked with the idea of freedom In fact they value security over freedom That's just something that people have to remember

responding to the allegations of sleaze against conservative MPs and his view on what's happening with Boris Johnson Of course he had to defend the situation yesterday Let's go all know to the markets this morning which are focused of course on inflation having surged in the U.S. but also in other major markets around the world Bloomberg dollar spot index rising to the highest level in a year at the moment on the Plymouth dollar spot index it's actually fairly flat right now Global bonds though under pressure continuing to be under pressure because of these growing inflation concerns in terms

Pretty much quite large 1.6% for the CSI 300 So let's look at the markets briefly Okay now on to some of our top stories U.S. consumer prices as Carolina was saying rising at the fastest pace in

Japan meanwhile a key measure of costs for companies rose at the fastest pace since 1981 the BOJ says corporate goods rose 8% in October from a year earlier with oil and coal prices making a big

market valley briefly topped a $100 billion putting it on par with General Motors and making it worth more than Ford It's the biggest listing in the world so far this year Okay let's get more then on the political wrangling here in the UK Back to British politics and Leigh Anne's been covering this for us Carolina Yeah absolutely So this is the C scandal that still is overshadowing everything including cop 26 Boris Johnson was up there yesterday to give a speech but was asked significant questions about that Now doing what was meant to be a conversation on climate change in Glasgow Boston hit back at reporters who were pushing on these mounting sleeves allegations saying that the UK is not remotely a corrupt country and warning that rule breaking members of parliament should be punished Well yesterday I spoke to Peter bohne who is the conservative MP for welling but about the issue we began by asking Peter about whether he has any regrets for voting to overturn the suspension of MP Owen Paterson IE the thing that triggered the whole sleeve row in the first place that he have regrets I have regrets about the fact that I was put in the position to have to vote on something that should was conflating two completely different things I laid an amendment in the House of Commons which had dealt with the own Patterson thing first And then we could have looked at reviewing the system But the government decided quite wrongly to interfere in House business and put the issue of own Patterson's case alongside the amendment to change the way or to review the system and we were only allowed to vote on that We weren't allowed to vote on my amendment on call today So do you still think that the 30 day suspension which was what was recommended for our Paterson breaking the lobbying rules Are you would you have voted in favor of overturning that Are you allowing Patterson to remain in parliament Well what the moment that was laid by myself and 15 others members of the House of Commons and by the way not all conservatives there was cross party signature on it was that we would accept the report absolutely that it being done properly and they found in guilty of breaking the rules and gave them the 30 day suspension one hour one went on to say at the time was on compassionate grounds no further action will be taken because the poor man had lost his wife by suicide during the process But we never got a chance in the House of Commons to vote on that So how much of an effect would that have had though Because it would sort of effectively have let him off if you like for the things he's been accused of doing Well it depends whether you thought that he had suffered enough because of what had happened So that would have been after the House of Commons should be absolute should have been a free vote and people could have made up their mind I'm not sure how the house would have voted on that but accepted that it done wrong but thought that owing to the very great circumstances in these personal life that no further action should be taken But that was never we know had an option to do that The government managed to put down a motion suspending any decision on mister passenger didn't let him off but he suspended and then to review the process was rather like going to court and you get to the final stage You get sentenced and then somebody said well let's change the system Well I can't do that Okay the backlash over this vote though has had much bigger implications Every newspaper is counting which MP has a second job How much they earn And that is very much focused on conservative MPs Do the conservatives in your view now have a sleeze problem And I will say again Well I'm not sure it's a sleaze problem The second job question is a very interesting one I mean I don't Have a second job either we saw MPs a full-time job But others don't take that view And I noticed a leader of the opposition has very substantial outside earnings if you can believe what the media say on it I think that question could well be looked at and see the arguments for and against and to decide whether the system needs to be So that was Peter bohne the conservative MP for welling brother just sort of giving his view and defense of the allegations of sleaze against the conservative government of course it's Jeffrey Cox who's in the firing line it would seem at the moment The former attorney general also will have much more on British politics and also bring you the latest on cop 26 on Glasgow on Bloomberg Westminster today because joining us will be Caroline Lucas green party MP of course from Brighton pavilion Catch that at live at 12 new UK time or download the podcast later from Apple music or your preferred radio.

What's his life? Been a female soldier and what? And asked, I couldn't know. I answer. Oh, boy, I'm a soldier. This is the Army's latest recruitment campaign. It suggests gender is not an issue in today's armed forces, but a report by MPs paints a very different picture. With women suffering disproportionately from bullying, harassment and discrimination. And even sexual assault and rape. The conservative MP Sarah Atherton led the Commons Defence Committee investigation six out of 10 women in our evidence. Said that they don't make complaints because of their replies ALS and reading questions. Put some pressure on this morning. Hey, there we go. Women make up around 12% of the regular armed forces. The report highlights practical issues that need to be addressed, such as being given uniforms and body armor than actually fit. But MPs say they're also gravely concerned that women in the military a 10 times more likely the men To experience sexual harassment.

"In his early career angel news was an investment banker specializing in technology. He was fortunate enough to invest in the development of mp threes in the eighties. In addition to this he's well known for being the spearhead of what is known today as e. sports. He's a father to kids and have been married for thirty six years his passion around interactive entertainment specifically in the world of gaming. He tends to lean towards first person shooters because they have a real sense of immersion. He loves post-apocalyptic gains where you have to survive in a world where systems and infrastructure have been completely removed after launching a successful social media platform around the gaming community called g. tribe. He started to create experiences inside the community so much so keenest team attempted to integrate video game aspects into an audio video experience. This is the creation story of beacon so beacon at its simplest if you wanted to make sure your audience understands it quickly. It's an audio visual communication platform with a whole different perspective on what these interactions should feel and look like we were very much informed by gaming. So as you're a game are you will understand the cruel reality that when you are in a game the environment. If you were to step away from from us for just a second you would realize that it's cartoonish but the job of a great. You know game developer ish to engage the suspension of disbelief. So that you for one second or for the entire period that you're in the game believe that you've entered into a whole different reality so what we noticed on. Let's say video conferencing platforms asked. The opposite was taking place. They you know the movement is to make these calls. You know just transferring information from one point to another with a complete disregard of how we perceive so we were inform. And i'm fortunate enough to have lots of friends that are video game developers and over the years developed a few items that we want to integrate into an experience to make it feel more lifelike. The purpose of beacon is to act like a telemarketer. We want to teleport the person your mind into the person's reality so so in my casey will be in my office. And you feel like you're there

The article does a really good job of explaining what it is right. And i think. I've explained it more times than almost the entire city of pasadena's fingers and toes right so i think if you don't mind just kind of reiterating that might kinda get picture right. The analytic prefixed. The way i always explain. It's a piece of code goes on the rss feed reason why that's important. Rss feed is distributed essentially everywhere right more or less prefixes acting as a redirect so what's happening is regardless of device or player when a user clicks player download right however with that analytic prefix ping's that prefix that piece of code and redirects download information.

Lattes and brad is the big wind with queen ten of spades he decides to flat. I guess we could just start here and talk about whether you three about this. Hand that all our these types of hands multi way. I think it's reasonable to three bad. I'm not opposed to it. I liked the cutoff calling is pretty indicative. That like you're not supposed to have a calling range. There so villain is most likely fish. The original prefab opener. I believe i had tagged fish. This hand went down during a poker coaching. Explain livestream so one thing about the livestreams that you know are the drawbacks for me. Specifically is that attention gets divided. You're trying to describe things trying to figure out where all the buttons are so you can miss some stuff that you otherwise would not have missed. So i'm just gonna pull out all the excuses before we jump into this hand and say like well okay clayton and just like sort of call a call pre instead of squeezing on reflex okay. I'll our come to your defense a little bit. I think just looking at those. Just looking at this without any hud stats. I agree the cutoff. Looks like a fish once he flats the mp open. I can't tell much about the given that he has like a seven hundred dollar stack and open to a reasonable size. I'll just look at this and say like it's sort of a disaster if we three about this hand. Mp calls a fish folds which i think is going to happen quite frequently and we we isolate ourselves versus a reasonably strong empty range and we lose like the person in the hand. That's most likely to donate their stack in some way so that one of the reasons that i might decide to call slightly more often than three about with a fish flooding. Yeah that's fair little backstory. So m p m p is either a week rag or a fish because they called a cold four bet with queen jack suited in a spot. Where i know. You're not supposed to call queen jack suited so anyway That was happening a little earlier on so that was the rationale even other stats like okay. That hand specifically was like. I don't think that's supposed to be a thing so anyway. With that said we go to flop at quainton spades. There's eighty dollars in the pot. The flop is jack of spades eight of hearts for of spades. I start out by checking. And i think that i should not have checked this. This is where the hand kind of got away for me from the jump. I like leading here especially against when. I'm battling against multiple fish with a hand like this because you know some bad things can happen when we check raise or combo draws here just well. The thing that the thing that is going to happen what happens right you check raise a komo draw and then you turn a pair in a pot with an sp are of like two and then you get kind of frozen right where it's hard to construct an ice checking rage. Nice betting rage. You don't necessarily want to bet with your pear. Your combo draw now because you're beating villains worse flush draws so like yeah it's you're being bills whereas flush draws in the hands at villain has that are beating you just jam and kind of make your life miserable so anyway. That's a bad thing that can

"Once audio moved to the digital space when podcasting with the online version of radio all of a sudden.

Patrisse Cullors Sounds More Like a Capitalist Than Marxist on Marc Lamont Hill's Show
"And he says to Patrice Cullors. Hey, you know what's with the $3 Million portfolio, and I want you to stay very close attention to her answer because she gives an answer. That an ideologically aligned capitalist would give. Hey, you know, we make money and earn money so I can take care of my family. Got a sun? God, What did she say? Mother in law? Whatever. I got to take care of my okay, Great. That's a capitalist answer, not a socialist answer. You doubt me here, Check this out. So a critique, though, from the left, that would say, um, if you are a trained Marxist If we're talking about a certain kind of radical politics, that extravagant homes of any sort or multiple properties of any sort is itself contradictory to the ideology that you hold. And so it's not about having money per se, but that it's about Or about property per se, But it's about there being a potential contradiction between your express politics and your lived practice. Sure, And I think that is a critique. That is, um wanting. And I say that because, um, the the the way that I live my life is a direct support to black people, including my black family members, Uh, first and foremost and For so many black folks who are able to invest in themselves in their community. They choose to invest in their family, and that's what I've chosen to do. Um, I have a child. I have a brother that has severe mental illness that I take care of. I support my mother and I support many other family members of mine. And so I see. Um uh, my money as not my own. I see it as um, my family's money as well. That's really cute that you don't see the money you spent on yourself and your house and your family as your own. That's a cute talking point. Unfortunately, it's really dumb. Okay.

Reboost also comes with the scooter that was part of the original diack loan toy and a driver figure painted clear plastic described as a whole matter avatar into product info. There is space for the driver to fit inside the vehicle mode but it's lesson interior than it is just some gaps based at the mini figure could be wedged into. The figure is by far more intended to ride the scooter than to ride in the car. Interestingly both masterpieces are currently lined up to be released side by side on november. Twenty seven th.

In the last couple of days we also got our first look at studio series eighty-six slag leaked images believed to have originated from four chan have shown up some decently useful shots at the next leader class dino so comes with an accessory figure laker and lock. Did this one. Being one of the exit suits identified by the product with things as intended to be daniel quickey. The daniel execute figure is entirely in the spirit of the whealy accessory figure being mostly fixed posed and designed to ride or sit on slag rather than act as an action figure itself slag follows the design style of grim. Walk by taking after the toy for detail. And broad design cues and mixing with cartoon touches and colors. This has created the interesting situation of making stool series slag appear to also be a reference to a very specific canadian variant of the g one toy which had a red head and white size the thighs on the studio series toy are probably in fact light gray rather than truly white but even so it all still reads visually much the same way owners will also apparently have the option and transforming to either go for a tweet based appearance with the dinosaur legs on the sides of the boots or be able to fold away the dinosaur legs for a cartoon style look slag is very comparable both in height and volume to grim walk. If not looking a little bigger in some cases this is making the prospect of an entire group of elite class. Dana bots more appealing all the time. We're expecting the official reveal.

I'm sorry abuse of the candidate. That drive which i am not trying to say that they are basically any need or infinitely more. It's more like we or one of the things that i find for. Example interesting is when women are more extreme. They bear much more likely than men to be subject to ferocity. This is because as happy as something that is not conventional wisdom. So people love grosser or more than cells. They have less prisons to angry or other people and people that are more extreme they get more against morbidity that's one thing but also because their views are not conventional. Okay explains a lot. I mean that was going to say. I mean explains a lot because we have people on both sides that would say things especially given that politics right now is depend so much on on how popular you are and how much of a sort of how much noise you're able to make an in the news and social media and one of the things that comes to my mind is that as a result of this. Do you think that society ultimately polices the way in which politicians and counselors Conduct themselves in public office. Yes i mean. I think that's that's an interesting question. I should protect a bit more on it. I wouldn't say it's the way to moderate because it really is that. I don't think that the violence or by solve anything or corruption. Solve anything. But i think that is impatient when we find people that thing completely different walls to disrespect that.

"Details and you, you see MP Donald And use just in Monterey County officials report the evacuation orders will residents who live near the burn scars off the Carmel River and Dolan fires will be in effect for another day or two. Sheriff's office is working with the National Weather Service to make a final decision. The time is coming up to 3 50. You're tuned into 90.3 K easy you We are streaming at K Easy, You, Donald This is all things considered from NPR news. I'm Ari Shapiro and I'm Elsa Chang Benjamin Spencer has spent the last 34 years in a Texas prison for a crime He says he did not commit. Violent robbery that led to the death of a white man on the streets of Dallas. Spencer isn't the only one saying this, the foreman of the jury that convicted him a trial judge, independent investigators and attorneys and Three of the four witnesses who testified against him. All of them have now said that Spencer had nothing to do with the crime. And yet all of his appeals failed. But now Benjamin Spencer he's lucky after nearly 3.5 decades, a new development means he is expected to walk out of prison in the next few weeks. Barbara Bradley. Haggerty has reported extensively on this case for NPR and the Atlantic and she joins us now. Welcome, Barbara. It's great to be here, Elsa. So before we get to this latest development, I just want to start with this stunning quote from the man who prosecuted the case 33 years ago, Andy Beach, he said to you recently quote I'm reading the transcript and I walk away going. How in the hell did I get a conviction? But her? Can you just real briefly talk about how little evidence there was in the first place to convict Benjamin Spencer. Yes, it was pretty incredible. So there was no physical evidence connecting Ben Spencer to the crime. The fingerprints didn't match his that were found in the crime scene in the car. They never found a murder weapon. Spencer had an alibi. It really all came down to essentially that I was this testimony of a woman named Gladys Oliver. And Gladys Oliver said she didn't see the murder She couldn't have because no one was there. But she did see Ben Spencer and another man running away from the victim's car. And it was really her testimony that convicted Ben Spencer. And why was Gladys Oliver as a witness given so much weight? Andy Beach? The prosecutor told me that Gladys, however, was one of the best witnesses he had ever had. She was in a wheelchair, so she was eye level with the jury. The jury foreman told me that it was her testimony that really, really convicted Benjamin Spencer. So she later turned out that she had accepted money and lied about it. But for that trial She was a rock solid rock star witness. There was something else going on to remember. This was Dallas in 1988. Under the D A's office back then they would try to get 1000 years sentences for black men. The feeling was that if that this black man didn't do this crime, then he probably did another, so we might as well put him away. If you were black man in Dallas in the 19 eighties, you really really did not want to be arrested for anything because your chances of getting off we're very slim, So that was really the culture. In which this trial took place, right? And what was remarkable in Benjamin Spencer's case was that you know the very absence of forensic evidence like no fingerprints. No didna, As you say, That was the ultimate thing that doomed him. Wasn't it? Yes, it was. And the problem for Benjamin Spencer now is that any possible evidence that could be retested Say with nude Nana scientific testing methods. All of that has been thrown out or lost. And so the very fact that he was not connected to the crime by any physical evidence means that he also can't exonerate himself because how do you prove a negative? Spencer's tides are turning on Lee now and you attribute that To what you call political serendipity. Tell us what you mean. Yes. So an article or or an NPR story doesn't have an eight legal weight, obviously, but in 2018 A new black Progressive D. A was elected. His name is John Crusoe. And he had heard about the Ben Spencer case, partly because I called him up about it, and he reopened it. He gave it to the head of the conviction Integrity unit and they investigate kind of questionable convictions. And this woman, Cynthia Garza tackled this case as if her it was her own brother in prison. She found documents and people who said that Gladys got between five and $10,000 that she lied about it. At trial. She got confirmatory evidence that the other eye witnesses and the jailhouse informant were lying. And she even found a Brady violation right. She found that the prosecutor at the time knew that Gladys was expecting to get up to $25,000. And he should have told that to the defense because the defense could have undercut her testimony. Remember she was a star witness, so they should have turned over that information. Right, A Brady violation being when the prosecution conceals exculpatory information from the defense. Now. Ultimately you write that Benjamin Spencer was quote the luckiest of the unlucky How so? You know, we've come to believe. Exonerations come early, easily. All you have to do is test the DNA's A that was recently found and the person walks out of prison. But Most cases don't have Edna in them. Look at what happened with Ben Spencer. He had almost no chance of getting out of prison. But he had this kind of cast of Of thousands that wanted to help him. You have to pro bono lawyers. You have a judge who ruled him. Innocents. You have Matt national Media attention, And still, l said there was no relief. Right? When does all of that ever happen all at once, Right? And then, But the reason he gets out the reason he's so lucky is because there was a D A. Who is willing to reopen the case. And even with all that it took 34 years. The big insight for me. With this case is that it is so easy to convict an innocent person, and it is nearly impossible to get that person out of prison to undo.
