00:13Hello and welcome to The Weekly. I'm Charlie Pickering. A cracking show for you tonight.
00:17Off-court drama at the Australian Open with Abby Gelmey, plus the tradie shortage threatening
00:22the Brisbane Olympics with the hilarious Alex Ward.
00:28And as always, we've watched all the news so that you don't have to. So let's kick things
00:33off with the week.
00:38Starting off with Thursday and we found out just how effective our world first social media
00:43ban has been.
00:44The Albanese government today is encouraged by the progress made with the landmark social
00:49media ban for under-16s.
00:51More than 4.7 million underage accounts were deactivated since the start of Australia's
00:55landmark social media ban.
00:574.7 million accounts gone.
01:014.7 million accounts gone. Although suspiciously, 4.7 million new accounts with youthful complexions
01:09and prominent mustaches.
01:12A patriotic PM claimed this was a win for the nation and for the world.
01:17This is a source of Australian pride. This was world-leading legislation, but is now being
01:24followed up around the world.
01:26France is set to follow in Australia's footsteps, reportedly banning social media for under-15s
01:31from the start of the academic year in September.
01:34The French are hoping for similar results to Australia, just with thinner, more suave mustaches.
01:41But not everyone was sold. Sunrise host Monique Wright wasn't convinced the ban was working
01:46and spoke from first-hand experience.
01:49I live in a house of teenagers and I was asking them all, it's basically had zero effect on
01:55that little group.
01:56On that group.
01:57You live in a house full of teenagers? That's pretty weird, Monique.
02:01Surely it's time to get your own place.
02:03But according to Albo, post-social media kids are living a more idyllic, wholesome childhood.
02:09Meaning that young people, instead of being on their devices during these school holidays,
02:15have been cycling around facilities.
02:18Oh, finally the children can cycle around facilities.
02:26So what other wholesome activities are the kids getting up to now that they're not wasting
02:31their lives on social media?
02:33Dozens of so-called e-bike cowboys have swarmed a popular golf course on Sydney's northern beaches.
02:39Police attended the scene at the Long Reef Golf Club last Friday, after reports dozens
02:45of young people were riding bikes through the course.
02:48And not a phone in sight.
02:51Just a bunch of kids getting outdoors, cycling around the facilities.
02:58To Friday, and as the clean-up began after floods ripped through coastal Victoria, one
03:03brave soul told of his rush to safety.
03:06The water was like above the jumping pillow and you'd have to swim, you could not stand.
03:10So where did you go to take refuge?
03:13I went to the pub.
03:16Smart.
03:17Smart.
03:18Like I always tell my kids, if in doubt, go to the pub.
03:23Also on Friday, a piece of history up for grabs.
03:26Sports fans have the chance to own a rare piece of Australian cricket history with a
03:31rare baggy green cap owned by Sir Donald Bradman heading up for auction.
03:36The Don gifted to a young Indian opponent the prized possession kept in his family for more
03:41than 70 years.
03:42A true sporting heirloom.
03:44And I'm a bit of a memorabilia collector myself.
03:46At home, I have a bag of cocaine Maradona forgot to do.
03:52It's estimated the cap could sell for a cool million dollars, but behind the hefty price
03:59tag is a sweet story of how much the owner cared for this legendary artefact.
04:04For 75 years, the cap stayed locked away in his home in Mumbai, passed down from generation
04:11to generation until it landed in his granddaughter's hands.
04:14Who heard the hat was worth a million bucks and said, screw grandpa, stick that shit on
04:19eBay.
04:21The cap itself is in pristine condition, thanks to the owner's very strict rules.
04:27If you were under 16, you weren't allowed to look at it.
04:29Once you grew up and you were able to look at it, you're allowed to look at it for five
04:33minutes.
04:34Mmm.
04:35Touching.
04:35You know, my dad had the same rule for his priceless collection of vintage playboys.
04:41Still to come, Abbie Jelmy serves up some Aussie open intrigue and having banned kids from
04:46social media, can the PM ban hate speech?
04:50But first, officials recently unveiled the design for a new stadium to host the 2032 Olympics.
04:56However, there's concern over whether Brisbane can even get it built on time.
05:01Industry figures say Queensland is already short around 18,000 tradies, and that number
05:08could skyrocket to as many as 50,000.
05:11For more, please welcome tonight's instant expert, Alex Ward.
05:18Alex, you're our expert.
05:21Why?
05:22Well, Charlie, I'm actually born and bred in Brisbane, so I know the city.
05:25Plus, I'm a lesbian, which means I have a basic understanding of carpentry.
05:30So, I actually challenge you to find someone more qualified to speak on this.
05:34Well, not on such short notice.
05:36So, how are things looking for 2032?
05:39Brisbane hosting the Olympics is so exciting, but they have a lot to sort out before the
05:44deadline.
05:45There are major concerns this morning that key infrastructure projects for Brisbane's
05:492032 Olympics won't be ready in time.
05:52Now, there are 17 that we need to build.
05:54Some of them, we still don't know where they're going to go.
05:57They don't know where they're going to go.
06:00Big deal.
06:01We don't need a new velodrome.
06:03Just get them to fang it around the roundabout.
06:06Right.
06:06So, what exactly is causing this tradie shortage?
06:10Well, for starters, kids these days are snobs.
06:12I think we're seeing this shortage because for so many years, kids were told they had to
06:18go to university.
06:19And you have to go to uni, you have to go to uni, you have to go to uni.
06:21Otherwise, it's, you know, your second rate almost.
06:25Nothing could be further from the truth.
06:26He's right.
06:27I'm still renting while paying off an arts degree I did 15 years ago, proving that even
06:31if you do go to uni, you can still be second rate.
06:35That's a wonderful message to the children out there.
06:37So, do we just need to convince kids how good it is to do a trade?
06:41Not us.
06:42Someone who knows the industry back to front.
06:44Take it away, Victorian Trades Hall Council Assistant Secretary Amanda Threlfall.
06:49Tell them how good it is.
06:50Around half of apprentices in Australia do not complete their apprenticeship because of
06:56exploitation and mistreatment at work, rampant wage theft, bullying and harassment, unsafe
07:02workplace practices.
07:03Amanda, do you want to see the synchronised swimming in Brisbane or not?
07:08Yeah, but the clock is ticking here.
07:11How is Brisbane going to get the tradies they need?
07:14Oh, my great deputy premier has a plan.
07:17And that plan is grovel.
07:19Jared Blay, the deputy premier, has come out saying he's going to beg, borrow and steal
07:23trades from interstate and overseas to get this all done.
07:27I'm not sure any amount of begging will pull a tradie from Melbourne or Sydney.
07:31Did you know you can't even get a piccolo or ceviche after 9pm in Brisbane?
07:36Ooh, chills.
07:37So what then?
07:38No Olympics?
07:40Nah, mate.
07:41Unlike the tradies, I have fixed this.
07:44We go ahead with the Olympics, but adapt it so athletes work around the unfinished work
07:49site.
07:51Welcome to the tradie Olympics.
07:54Say bye to bouldering and hello to scaffold climbing.
07:59Forget finding hurdles when you've got materials just lying around.
08:02I present pallet jumping.
08:05We don't even need to change the name of some of the events, like Hemethrone.
08:10Would you please say, Alex Ward!
08:19And now it's time for another ACA News Breaker.
08:25The roundabout that may win the prize as Australia's most confusing.
08:30An intersection sending locals round the twist.
08:3380 signs to me is just crazy.
08:36This roundabout has too many signs.
08:38More signs than cents.
08:40He's counting the signs.
08:42There's too many.
08:44This guy's a learner driver.
08:46He's going to be confused.
08:48He was fine.
08:50What a waste of money.
08:52Who the f*** is this guy?
08:53It's bonkers.
08:54It's bonkers.
08:55He's got a purple beard.
08:57Chris and Sherelle drove from Geelong to see the roundabout.
09:00They drove from Geelong.
09:02Don't get confused.
09:04There's too many signs, boys.
09:07The boys don't give a s***.
09:09Here are the signs in slow-mo.
09:12But be warned.
09:13This would just be confusing.
09:15And I'm sure there could well be a tragedy here one day.
09:18These signs will kill.
09:19That was another ACA News Breaker.
09:25To Saturday and self-proclaimed acting president of Venezuela, Donald Trump, turn to his next
09:31potential acquisition, Greenland.
09:33Right now, a high-stakes meeting on the future of Greenland.
09:37Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, they're meeting with their
09:41Danish and Greenlandic counterparts as President Donald Trump pushes to acquire the island.
09:47The White House says President Trump is considering options, including the use of military force,
09:51to acquire Greenland.
09:53Trump is obsessed with getting his hands on this sparsely populated island.
09:57Maybe because he no longer has access to another sparsely populated island.
10:03According to Trump, there's a very good reason for taking over Greenland.
10:08Since his first term, President Trump has eyed the Arctic island, claiming it's vital
10:12for national security.
10:14We need Greenland for national security.
10:16We need Greenland for national security.
10:18If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will.
10:21Trump's right.
10:22He must invade Greenland to stop anyone invading Greenland.
10:27But in discussion with Norway, it became clear for Trump, it's personal.
10:31The president sent a letter to Norway's prime minister.
10:35Dear Jonas, considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having
10:40stopped eight wars plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace, although
10:45it will always be predominant.
10:47The Norwegian government has no influence over who wins the Nobel Peace Prize.
10:51It's handled by a completely independent committee.
10:54So, Trump wants to invade Danish territory because Norway didn't give him a peace prize they can't
11:01give him.
11:03It's like that time I didn't win an Oscar so I complained to a DVD vending machine.
11:11But Washington isn't wild about the idea of an invasion.
11:15This is the dumbest idea ever.
11:20To invade Greenland would be weapons-grade stupid.
11:26And it's feared that if America does obtain weapons-grade stupid, they could one day create
11:31a moron of mass destruction.
11:35But despite the post-war Western alliance crumbling, there's no need to panic.
11:40Just ask top-ranking EU diplomat Kaya Cullis.
11:43She's made headlines this week after a private conversation she had with lawmakers about the
11:48state of the world.
11:50Apparently, she said it might be a good moment to start drinking.
11:56Well, like I always tell my kids, if in doubt, go to the pub.
12:06And it turns out it's not just time to get on the booze.
12:09Negotiations with the US went so poorly that the Danish foreign minister sprinted straight
12:14from the meeting to his car and immediately took up smoking again.
12:23By Sunday, things escalated, with NATO allies sending in the troops.
12:27It started in the dead of the night, with Denmark sending in the Air Force.
12:32France's Emmanuel Macron has also sent a team of French soldiers.
12:37Other allies, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK, are also sending
12:43in reinforcements.
12:44Apparently, we have agreed to send one military officer to Greenland.
12:49You hear that, America?
12:50One single military officer.
12:53If you want to take Greenland, you're going to have to go through Nigel.
12:58And if you don't knock it off, we'll also send Colin.
13:03With battle lines being drawn, there was still one option that could avoid bloodshed.
13:07The art of the deal.
13:09Buying it is also an option.
13:11However, it could be an exorbitant price tag.
13:14It could cost the United States as much as $700 billion in order to buy the Danish territory.
13:20And the population is only 57,000.
13:23The Cowboys Stadium could hold more than $100,000 in Dallas.
13:26So Trump's willing to pay hundreds of billions of dollars to buy remote islands that can barely
13:32fill a stadium.
13:33Sir, can I interest you in Tasmania?
13:43But despite the generous offer, the locals in Greenland aren't keen to make a deal.
13:4885% of Greenlanders do not wish to join the United States, with nearly half seeing Trump's
13:53interest as a threat.
13:55I think Trump doesn't know about Greenlandic people.
13:59We don't really value cash and Kardashian lips and fake boobs.
14:05Let me put it in words you might understand.
14:07Mr Trump, f*** off.
14:15We'll put them down as a no.
14:18And I get it.
14:19Greenlanders are rightly concerned about becoming a vassal state of America, having their minerals
14:24ruthlessly exploited for foreign profit, while being completely dependent on the US for military
14:30protection.
14:31But to them I say, you get used to it.
14:36Coming up in a minute, Mac McConaughey vs. AI and the PM vs. Hate.
14:41Can either of them win?
14:42But first, the Australian Open has landed in Melbourne and already it's breaking records.
14:48Over 200,000 people came through the gates just last week, proving the only things Australians
14:54love more than sport is joining a queue.
14:56Here to tell us more, it's Abbey Gelmey!
15:03Right, so Abbey, huge crowds at the Open before it even started.
15:07And it's the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it?
15:10It's one of the biggest sporting events in the country and it's already shattering records
15:14and for good reason, because there was just a bit of a simple rebrand at the AO.
15:18Yeah, so what was that?
15:19Did people just turn up a week early?
15:21How did this happen?
15:21What happened?
15:22No, they decided that instead of calling it qualifying, they would call it Opening Week.
15:26And people parted with their hard-earned and flooded through the doors, quadruple the
15:31amount that they had last year.
15:32Do you know what they should do next year is call that week of qualifying the men's final.
15:36They'll get heaps of people.
15:40Heaps.
15:41They should call it the NBA playoffs.
15:42Everyone will come along.
15:43You should be on board.
15:44It's the Super Bowl at Melbourne Park.
15:46You're leading with the sport, but some people really weren't there to watch the tennis.
15:50I think he's looking rather well for 38.
15:52What about the tennis?
15:54Oh, bugger the tennis.
15:55I'm just here for the pool.
15:57Hmm.
15:58She's actually in the audience now and she's talking about you, Charlie.
16:00That's right, absolutely.
16:01That's not bad.
16:02It's funny, watching that, that is exactly the same reason I go to the Westminster Dog
16:05Show every year, just to admire the hindquarters of a Scottish Terrier.
16:09You just had to take it that next year.
16:11I absolutely did.
16:12You really did.
16:12Look, because the AO is cashed up.
16:14It's now the second highest paying Grand Slam in the world.
16:18But in addition to that, Roger Federer, yes, the GOAT has been back here in Australia.
16:22Not playing, of course, just giving out handshakes for $20,000 a piece.
16:27$20,000 per handshake.
16:28$20,000 a handshake.
16:29I'm so glad, because he's been doing it tough for so long.
16:34Look, it's not just the GOAT filling his pockets.
16:3717-year-old wildcard Cruz Hewitt crashed out of the opening round, but still took home $40,000.
16:43So $40,000, that works out to two Roger Federer handshakes.
16:47That's right, yeah.
16:47Absolutely.
16:48But is there anything more Australian, though, than Beck and Lele's son getting $40,000 just
16:52for having a crack?
16:53But this is one of my favourite stories from the AO, because it could only happen in Australia.
16:57Giving someone a bogan nickname, wearing a Southern Cross singlet, and still somehow having
17:02the country fall in love with you.
17:03A particular shout-out to Rado, apparently, is my new nickname.
17:07So you're invited for every match.
17:10Just let me know, or let my agent know in your head.
17:14That is the new mascot for the Brisbane Olympics.
17:18He's ready.
17:18The mystery man.
17:19And Rado is a great nickname.
17:21With a name like Rado, you could co-host Triple M Breakfast.
17:23I would tune in to Rado and Donga in the morning.
17:26Like, that'd be...
17:27Donga.
17:27Donga.
17:28Rado and Donga.
17:29Apparently, that crossed the line.
17:31I, you know...
17:34Unacceptable.
17:35Name's not Donga, it's James Bray, and he'll feature it all.
17:37A couple of Rado's matches, and Channel 9, they've gone, hang on, this guy could be
17:41a star.
17:41They've tried to get him to come on board for maths, but I fear he's too supportive
17:46of women.
17:46Yeah, I think that...
17:47I think that is true.
17:50And the fact that he's got an interest in women's sport, he means he couldn't co-host
17:53Triple M Breakfast either.
17:55That's true.
17:56We also bid farewell to one of the great Australian athletes of all time.
18:01I'm going that far, you know, Lisa Healy, the Australian women's cricket captain.
18:04Not only was she a Belinda Clark medallist, but she really fronted this new era of women's
18:10cricket where they're getting well-paid and recognised.
18:12But I'll always remember her for this moment on Stunt Mike in South Africa in 2024.
18:18Ball required for the visitors.
18:21Oh, right in the back.
18:24That is a leader of my country.
18:27You know, in some parts of Queensland, that's actually considered legal contraception.
18:32I'm leaving that.
18:33I'm going absolutely nowhere near it.
18:34Fair enough.
18:35Absolutely.
18:36Would you please say, Abbie Jelme!
18:43Monday was the first day back at Parliament in Canberra, and top of the agenda, Albo's
18:48new hate speech laws.
18:50I've said it consistently.
18:51I have said consistently, this should be a moment of national unity.
18:55Once these laws are passed, they will be the toughest hate laws Australia has ever seen.
19:01Creating serious offences for hate preachers and leaders seeking to radicalise children,
19:06as well as allowing the creation of a list of prohibited hate groups.
19:10Anyone who's a member, recruiter or donator of a so-called hate group could face up to 15
19:16years in prison.
19:17In anticipation, neo-Nazi group The National Socialist Network disbanding to avoid arrest.
19:24They're now called the neo-nices, and they get together Wednesdays for indoor cricket,
19:31and also have a first Tuesday of the month book burning club.
19:36But while that bit was easy, Albo found out that when it comes to religion, things are
19:41a bit more tricky.
19:42I encourage you to read the Old Testament, and see what's there, and see if you outlaw
19:47that, what would occur.
19:51He's right, there's heaps of stuff in those old books that doesn't meet modern standards.
19:56Slavery, violence, homophobia.
19:58I mean, frankincense and myrrh are hardly appropriate gifts for a baby.
20:03Now, while most of us focus on the nice bits, in the wrong hands, the bad bits can be fuel
20:09for radicalisation.
20:10Albo's bill aims to stamp that out.
20:12But, the constitution says you can't pass laws that prohibit the free exercise of religion.
20:19It's the kind of conundrum I'd normally take to my rabbi.
20:22And, like Solomon himself, Albo offered a nifty solution.
20:27Those who seek to incite racial hatred will face up to five years jail.
20:32But, a defence against hate speech charges could be directly quoting or referencing a
20:37religious text for the purpose of teaching or discussion.
20:40Some things are so horrible, they have no place in Australian society and must be confined
20:47to a classroom.
20:49That includes hate speech and that other crime against humanity, long division.
20:55You are, of course, still allowed to declare a holy war as long as you have a test afterwards.
20:59But, despite having a carve-out for religious teaching, faith leaders still weren't happy.
21:0527 religious leaders have expressed deep concern about the bill's potential to impact
21:09religious freedom and expression.
21:11The Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist and Scientology groups, they say the laws could threaten
21:15reasonable religious discourse.
21:17You know something's wrong when every major religion agrees.
21:21Even Scientologists were against it.
21:24And those guys are perfectly sane and not at all litigious.
21:31But Albo's trouble didn't end there.
21:34It's not just religious leaders who had a problem with the bill.
21:37Labor's own members of parliament are calling this a shitshow.
21:41The Greens worried about the impact on freedom of speech.
21:45You say Labor's proposed law to combat anti-Semitism could see a person jailed for up to five years
21:52for saying Australia is the greatest country in the world.
21:56That's right.
21:56You can't show in the speech, under the legislation, any superiority.
22:01Jailed?
22:01What is the charge?
22:03Being a patriot?
22:04A succulent Australian patriot?
22:09Sensing his bill was in trouble, Albo hit pause on the hate speech provisions to tighten
22:14up Australian gun laws.
22:15But even that drew objection from controversial cleric Barnaby Joyce.
22:19Get your firearms handed down to us like you might get pens or you might get chairs or
22:24piece of furniture.
22:25It's your grandfathers, it's your great-grandfathers and they have great sentimental attachment to it.
22:31Barnaby makes a great point.
22:32As a responsible antique owner myself, I always keep my great-aunt's chaise-lange secured in
22:38my couch safe.
22:41So where did that leave the bill?
22:43The Coalition hated it, the Greens hated it, One Nation hated it, religious groups hated
22:48it, even grieving farmers inheriting an arsenal of weapons hated it.
22:53Which seemed like a loss for Albo.
22:56But let's not forget what this was about all along.
22:59I've said it consistently.
23:00I have said consistently, this should be a moment of national unity.
23:05Albo, you did it!
23:06You unified the nation in hatred of this bill.
23:10But then, just as all seemed lost, a miracle.
23:14Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Susan Lee have cut a deal to pass Labor's hate speech
23:19laws through Parliament after a series of negotiations.
23:23We did it!
23:24Hallelujah!
23:25Shabbat shalom!
23:26Aloha akbar!
23:27Praise Zinu!
23:28Nobody's happy, but everybody is equally unhappy.
23:33And that is why Australia is the best country in the world.
23:39Oh shit, pulling was right!
23:43In a brand new historical travel show from Sky News, former Prime Minister and Patriot, Tony
23:49Abbott, explores the origins of this great nation in Tony Abbott's Australia.
23:55No, I mean, Australia, a history.
23:58Geez, that really rolls off the tongue.
24:01Whose idea was that?
24:02Tony Abbott is a man who writes passionately about Australia by typing with two fingers
24:08and saying the words out loud.
24:10Brought a vast influx of immigrants from all over the world.
24:14He also has an internal monologue, like his favourite show, Sex and the City.
24:19But far from heralding the collapse of the established order...
24:23But his, Mr Big, is the land down under.
24:27Heavens, Australia!
24:29And as he travels this great brown land, extolling the stories of our forefathers...
24:34We owe them so much.
24:36...sometimes he forgets to keep his eyes on the road.
24:39Their courage laid the foundations of the country we've become.
24:45Oh, no!
24:47Abbott's Australia!
24:49This week, Tony dug into the history of Australia's gold rush.
24:53Have you got a little tingling of gold fever?
24:56And he decided to do a bit of prospecting himself.
25:00Grab a handful there, Tony.
25:02Tony thinks he's struck gold.
25:04Ah!
25:05But it turned out it was just cow shit.
25:07But...
25:09Abbott's Australia.
25:11Join us next week on Tony Abbott's Australia A History,
25:14when he stands in front of a very phallic cannon.
25:19Let's roll on to Tuesday and a story we can all relate to.
25:23The world's fifth richest man, Larry Ellison,
25:25was forced to change the name of his super yacht
25:28after discovering something drastically wrong with it.
25:31Ellison, who was once the richest man in the world,
25:34chose to name the vessel Izanami.
25:36After a god from Japanese mythology,
25:39unfortunately backwards, that spells, I'm a Nazi.
25:47It could happen to anyone.
25:51Realising his error,
25:52Ellison quickly renamed the yacht Hitler McHitlerface.
25:58Meanwhile, in AI news...
26:00Matthew McConaughey is trademarking himself
26:02to get ahead of any potential deepfakes.
26:04All right, all right, all right.
26:06The Texas star finally to trademark his voice and likeness,
26:09potentially giving McConaughey power to sue
26:11if AI companies recreate him to sell products
26:15or train their models without permission.
26:17Some see it as a blow for artists in the war against AI,
26:21but really, it's just an excuse for reporters
26:23to do their Matt McConaughey.
26:25All right, all right, all right.
26:27All right, all right, all right.
26:30All right, all right, all right.
26:32All right, all right, all right.
26:33All right, all right, all right.
26:35All right, all right, all right.
26:40And so we arrive on Wednesday
26:43and some of your mums might be like mine.
26:46She likes to cut those quirky stories out of the newspaper
26:49that give her a bit of a giggle.
26:50So let's see what she sent me this week.
26:52It's stories my mum sent me!
26:58Alrighty, let's see what we've got this week.
27:01Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
27:03A flock of 50 sheep has stormed a supermarket in Germany.
27:08Witnesses say they remember little of the event,
27:11but did get the best night's sleep of their lives.
27:16All's well that ends well.
27:17Uh, McDonald's is facing a class-action lawsuit
27:21after their McRib sandwich was found to not contain any pork rib meat.
27:26Maccas have apologised and are correcting their mistake,
27:30renaming the sandwich the McTungsan-anus.
27:34Delicious.
27:37An American man has described his confusion
27:40after he woke up from surgery
27:42with the ability to speak fluent Spanish.
27:45Unfortunately, doctors were unable to examine the man
27:48because he was immediately deported by ICE.
27:51Sad.
27:52A shame.
27:54After his grande siesta.
27:57Uh, yes.
27:58Authorities are searching for suspects
28:00who stole multiple wigs at Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market.
28:04Police are on the lookout for two people
28:06who are 5'8", medium build,
28:08and have blonde, brown, red or rainbow clown hair.
28:14I hope we catch them.
28:16Uh, and finally,
28:18Donald Trump is now a Nobel Peace Prize recipient
28:21after accepting one as a gift
28:24from 2025 winner Maria Karina Machado.
28:27In other news,
28:28Trump is now officially the greatest cricketer of all time
28:31after buying Donald Bradman's cap.
28:35And that story's my mum sent me!
