Extra, extra, read all about it now. Oh, baby. And it is a recording, good morning. Good morning. It is Monday, the 5th of August 2024. How are you doing?

And it is a recording, obviously,

but the time, as I recorded,

is 6.28am.

Monday morning, as I record.

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I hope your weekend was restful

and revitalising.

Great weekend, myself, S Solford Red Devils March on

in the Bedford Super League was at the Solford Community Stadium on Saturday to see

Solford beat Leeds, the Leeds Rhinos, 22 points to 16, another thriller of a game.

It was made all the more enjoyable by our next door neighbours came along for their first visit to a Super League game.

So Brian came along and Brian's partner's Sun Blue came along.

He's only nine had the time of his life.

He was glued to the action and then he got to meet one of our players at the end and have a chat. Dion Cross, he met, wonderful player.

It's a lovely weekend. Sunday we spent walking around the Keys with the dogs. So nice and relaxing,

looking forward to the week ahead. and thank you for downloading the podcast.

The papers are concentrating today on one story and I won't say one story only, but predominantly

the papers covering riots and civil unrest and disturbances that have been taking place in recent days right across the United Kingdom.

So I'll do the front pages of the papers first, as I always do.

Then I'll go to the BBC News website just to give you what the official reporting is saying

and then we'll have a look at one or two of the stories inside the papers.
