This is a Global Player Original podcast.

Well, it's Saturday morning.

How's my brave little soldier?

Well, I've just crawled out of bed Ian.

I am feeling, look do you see that? I just managed to laugh and I haven't yet coughed.

Well that's good.

That is a big plus.

Yes.

Yeah.

Good. How are you? We can look forward to a three and a half hour marathon then.

With barely any coffee. I'm fine, but like you, I found it quite difficult to readjust to normal

waking hours. So in normal times, I would always wake up automatically between 8 and 8.30.

Doesn't happen anymore. So today I had to set an alarm. I did actually wake up at five past nine.

But anyway, we are here. That is the main thing. And we have lots of important business to transact,

don't we? We do. Yes. And we aren't just going to concentrate on what everyone will think we're going to concentrate on

because there are other things that you want to talk about,

somebody called Lebedeuf.

I don't know why you want to talk about that.

We'll talk about the assassination of Shenzhou Arbe,

which, I mean, just on that, I cannot understand why everybody on the media is referring to him as having died.

He was assassinated.

Yes, voted, yes.
