Morning. You all right? How you doing? It is Tuesday the 6th of January in the year of our Lord,

2025, 26 rather. Let's get the year right. How are you all this morning? We just got a few

technical issues going on this morning. So we're just a couple of minutes late and some light issues, but I think it's all sorted now. So teething problems, teething problems, nobody's perfect. Today then, I thought we'll just jump straight into the news without too much of a preamble. Let's just let you know what's going on in the world. What's the world talking about? That's what we all need to know first thing in the morning, don't we?

Before we can get on with our normal lives. Okay, so first of all, the newspapers in the UK, I'll just say today. I decided I'm going to, when I do the world round up, going to go the other way round the world. head west, go straight to the United States after the UK.

Because I think a lot of the audience are UK and US based.

So it just makes more sense that.

Don't keep the US folks waiting until the end of the stream.

Pardon me? So we're going to do that.

I beg your pardon. All right, so let's have a look at the UK papers.

The two big stories are that Maduro saying that he's a prisoner of war.

So, first of all, to say, like yesterday, the vast majority of the news is still around the Trump-Maduro-Venezuela affair.

But also the Man United, the football team man united,

sack their manager because they're, oh, very nearly said the S word then.

Got to be careful not to swear.

This isn't the state of politics.

Man united are crap, can I say crap, are bad.

They're not very good anymore.

And they're in a bit of turmoil.

So the big stories, basically, in the UK,

are that Maduro's claiming he's a prisoner of war.

And that Amarim chap,

the manager of Man United has been sacked.
