00:01Marabona! Marabona! Marabona!
00:06What's going on? It's messy!
00:09Leave it, baby!
00:11Cut inside! Penny, that's a lovely car!
00:14I'll go better! Oh my word!
00:18Caravaro, la gioca per pillo, pillo, pillo!
00:21Per grosso, la gira col sinistro!
00:29Hello!
00:33Whoa. Oh my God.
00:35What, you've never seen this before? Dude.
00:37It's another week at the 2026 Oversight Headquarters in Miami,
00:41and in the social media space, there's something cool happening.
00:44Like, what even is that?
00:46Keepyuppies. Excuse me?
00:47Wait, keepyuppies?
00:48You've never heard of keepyuppies?
00:50What, like it's a thing? Oh, man.
00:52Yeah.
00:53Yeah, no, it's great. It's really on there.
00:54Oh, not one on there.
00:55This is a big week, with FIPA about to unveil its official ball for the 2026 tournament.
01:01The team have been looking at ways to viralise the moment on social media,
01:05and it looks as if they might have literally stumbled across something.
01:09Whoa!
01:10Jesus.
01:10And nice and still.
01:12Oh my God.
01:13It's all about distribution away.
01:14This is so cool.
01:16Oh!
01:17Sorry, Will.
01:18Yeah, no worries.
01:19Yeah, cool.
01:20Okay, bad luck.
01:21Just keep your head still, yeah?
01:23Ooh!
01:24Okay.
01:24Yeah, no, sorry.
01:25You're not crabbing.
01:26Okay.
01:27Nice, easy with him.
01:29Like, we should totally put this on the far corner, right?
01:31Right, like, oh my God.
01:32Okay.
01:33Like, as a challenge, right?
01:34Yeah, right, right, right, right.
01:34I'm not thinking about feet.
01:35They're just doing their own thing.
01:36Like, hashtag keepyuppiechallenge.
01:38Right.
01:39Hashtag 2026.
01:39Like, you posted personal vest, right?
01:41Right.
01:41I can totally see that.
01:43Okay, okay.
01:43Let's do it.
01:45Like, like, this is really cool, right?
01:47Right.
01:48Hey, you want to try?
01:49Me.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Like, you should totally try this.
01:51Yeah, no, I'm good.
01:52Okay.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Fine.
01:54So, we had to work hard on this with the venues and the manufacturers and our alternative technologies
01:59team, but we got there, right?
02:01We made it.
02:02Viva.
02:03Absolutely.
02:03Meanwhile, in the meeting room, Sarah is wearing her sustainability and climate strategy
02:08hat in a big way.
02:10So, we are now able to say, officially, that the lighting in all public areas around all
02:14of our stadiums and all of our venues will be powered exclusively by on-site solar-powered
02:20generators producing 100% sustainable electricity with zero environmental impact.
02:26Well, right.
02:26Well, that's really, I mean, that's really great.
02:28Yeah, that is something, right?
02:30Shine the light.
02:31Shine a light is the flagship initiative in her Better Place pledge to leave the host
02:36cities, North America, and ultimately the world itself in a better place after the
02:412026 tournament than wherever it was before it.
02:44This is cutting edge technology.
02:45Yes.
02:46We're shifting the paradigm for how these events are managed around the world.
02:49Exactly.
02:49Yes.
02:50Because from now on, things are going to be different.
02:52See?
02:53One.
02:53Because they have to be, right?
02:55Bravo.
02:55Sarah.
03:04So, there's a chip in the ball, right?
03:06They put a chip in the ball.
03:08Like, who is this guy, right?
03:10Right, right.
03:11Okay.
03:11But what they don't tell you is that chip is a Chinese chip.
03:15Okay, so this is not good.
03:16As in, it is a Chinese-made chip, right?
03:19Need I say any more?
03:20He's an odd case.
03:21Okay, so you cannot actually say that.
03:23Yeah, right, right, right.
03:24But meanwhile, back in the world of balls, there's been an unforeseen development.
03:28Like, this is actually the same chip they're using in Chinese military drones and nuclear
03:33warheads.
03:33Of course, they don't want you to know that.
03:37What?
03:37Like, oh my god, that is so yikes.
03:38Oh my god.
03:39A copy of an email has appeared online, which claims that in early trials, players are unhappy
03:44with the new 2026 ball, which they say doesn't behave normally through the air, prompting
03:50a virtual overreaction on social media.
03:52All right.
03:53Thanks for watching, guys.
03:54You know where I am.
03:56You can subscribe here.
03:57I'm also there on Instagram.
03:58Hashtag, things I don't want you to know.
04:00In the meantime, no fear, no doubt, no sleep.
04:08Right, so that's it.
04:09Okay.
04:10Right.
04:11Okay, so this guy.
04:12So this has come from nowhere, right?
04:13Right.
04:13Totally.
04:14Right, like I've literally never heard of him, right?
04:15Right, so this is Thunderbird Stingray.
04:17What?
04:17Right, so that's probably not his real name, right?
04:19Right.
04:19So, no.
04:20Like, he has, like, this channel, like, things they don't want you to know.
04:23Yeah, yeah.
04:23Right.
04:24Yeah, you see, for me, I'm sorry, but for me, for me, the guy's a nutcase.
04:29So that is not okay, okay?
04:30I mean, he's sitting in his bedroom.
04:31He has about 12 subscribers.
04:32So actually, he has, like, 300, right?
04:34Right.
04:34Okay.
04:35Right, actually, 372.
04:36Right.
04:37Okay, 372 other nutcases sitting in their bedrooms.
04:40Okay, so...
04:41I mean, I'm sorry, but it's hashtag grow up, get off your ass and get a fucking life, right?
04:44Yeah, right, right, right.
04:56Why would I do that?
04:58I don't need to.
04:59I don't need to.
05:00I don't need to tell him.
05:00Why would I?
05:01Okay, well, it's not his condo either, right?
05:04It's...
05:04By the next morning, it's already Tuesday.
05:06I don't care.
05:08So that's just a legal thing, right?
05:10That's just a, like, okay.
05:11Well, yeah, absolutely.
05:13No.
05:14Absolutely.
05:14That is a plan, and we will talk again soon.
05:17Okay, absolutely great.
05:18Sure.
05:18Bye.
05:19Bye-bye.
05:21Hi.
05:21Morning.
05:22Just thought I'd pick up a coffee before I start.
05:25Absolutely.
05:26By the way, I know I should be drinking ashwagandha tea instead.
05:29Well...
05:30I know you left some for me in the survival pack in the apartment.
05:33Right.
05:33And I will start drinking it, I promise, but sometimes...
05:36Right.
05:37So the guy showed up to fix the garbage disposal?
05:39Yes.
05:40Yes.
05:40Great.
05:41No, thanks very much for that.
05:42Sure.
05:44You shouldn't have taken the thing off.
05:46Probably not, no.
05:47By the way, it's so great, you know.
05:48The condo?
05:49Really, honestly, I can't tell you, so...
05:51Well, you know I'm glad.
05:53Talking of the environment, I see that Shining Light went live on the website this morning.
05:57Right.
05:57Looks great.
05:59Well, thank you.
05:59You had any reaction yet?
06:01Right.
06:01So, actually, as of now, not yet?
06:04Right.
06:05No.
06:05Still.
06:06It's early days, right?
06:07Absolutely.
06:08And it's out there now.
06:09Absolutely.
06:10Yeah, it's real.
06:11There you go.
06:11Saving the world again.
06:12Anna, stop it.
06:13I bet you say that to all the sustainability girls.
06:16I probably shouldn't say this, but who knows?
06:19Maybe the world really can be a better place after all, right?
06:22Right.
06:22In spite of everything.
06:24Yes.
06:24So, that's all good then.
06:27Yes.
06:30Yes.
06:31They can control it whenever they want, like with free kicks or penalties, like there's
06:36actually a building in Beijing, like there's footage out there, like it's insane.
06:40Right.
06:41Right, okay.
06:42Huh.
06:42I mean, fuck's sake, this guy can barely type.
06:44By nine o'clock, with stories about the chip in the 2026 ball now proliferating fast
06:49amongst highly trained conspiracy theorists online, the Strategic Operations Group, or SOG,
06:54has gathered in the meeting room.
06:56It can connect with any wifi network wherever it is, using AI to bypass password and security,
07:00and they can harvest information from computers or phones on that network without anyone knowing.
07:04What?
07:05Exactly.
07:05Yes, I mean, you're kidding.
07:07Okay, so this is not a joke, okay?
07:08This stuff is out there.
07:10It's like, where do these guys come from?
07:11It's outrageous.
07:12There's another one somewhere, I saw it earlier.
07:14The ball can listen.
07:16Exactly, yes.
07:17Yes, well, listen.
07:18Yeah.
07:18Exactly.
07:19What to?
07:19Well, what to?
07:21Yes, I mean...
07:21What do you mean, what to?
07:22What kind of a fucking question is that?
07:24Okay, well...
07:24I mean, us, I guess, in this case.
07:27Us?
07:27Yeah.
07:28Christ.
07:28I mean, if that's true, you gotta say, it's impressive.
07:31Well, I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I don't find that easy a lot of the time,
07:34and I've got ears.
07:35Yes.
07:35Exactly so.
07:36The official F***a 2026 football is made by ass, who we're unable to name for legal reasons.
07:43And the pressure is on to establish, firstly, what the actual truth about the ball is, and
07:48then, crucially, whether that's going to be believable.
07:50I mean, perhaps before we get drawn any further into the whole, you know...
07:53We're looking at a bottomless pit of shit here.
07:54Yes, well, that's one way.
07:55Yeah, 100%.
07:56Yes, as I say, before we get drawn any further into that, shall we just back up a moment and
08:01try and establish a few facts here?
08:02Ah, yes.
08:03Interesting.
08:05Yes, because just to be clear about what we're dealing with here, in terms of the optics
08:08of this...
08:09Exactly.
08:09Yes.
08:10I mean, because, well, there is a chip in the ball, isn't there?
08:12Well, yeah.
08:12Well, we know that, so that's actually true.
08:14Of course there is.
08:15I mean, otherwise, how are we going to know where it is?
08:18Yes.
08:18Yes, and so, just out of interest then, is it Chinese made, do we know?
08:21What, the chip?
08:22Yes.
08:22I mean, I don't know.
08:23Probably, right?
08:24How do I know that?
08:25Do we know that, Eric?
08:27Well...
08:28Because I know Zurich's been working very closely with ... through all the development
08:31stages of this.
08:32Well, exactly.
08:33So, then perhaps we can say we are all Chinese now, yes?
08:36Right, okay.
08:37It is where we are.
08:38When?
08:39Okay.
08:40Fuck.
08:42Okay, so, with something like this, the only people that are going to visit the website
08:45are people who already know that it's there, right?
08:47Right.
08:48Okay.
08:49Totally.
08:50Right, and the thing about the people who already know it's there is they already know
08:52it's there, right?
08:54Right, right.
08:55Meanwhile, Sarah is with the social media team, analysing early reaction to her shine
08:59a light campaign.
09:01And with three comments posted on the website so far, two of them from Ian Fletcher, the main
09:06takeaway is that there hasn't really been one.
09:08It's like the people that you need to reach out to here are the people that are not going
09:10to visit the website.
09:12Okay.
09:12Like, they have literally no idea what it is.
09:14Right.
09:15Like, this is a huge audience, right?
09:16Right, totally.
09:17Yeah, right, it's huge.
09:18Yeah, right, right, right.
09:19But fortunately, as usual, they've got the whole of the internet at their finger and thumb
09:23tips.
09:24Okay.
09:25Okay, so apparently the Rolling Stones actually sang this song, Shine a Light.
09:28Okay.
09:29The Rolling Stones?
09:30Right, yes.
09:31Okay.
09:31Right.
09:32Ew.
09:32Okay.
09:34Wait, what happened?
09:35Not going to work.
09:36No way.
09:37Okay, sure.
09:38Their task is to find a way of connecting Shine a Light with a younger and almost universally
09:43unaware audience on social media.
09:45So wait, is that...?
09:46Okay, so that's Keepy Uppies.
09:48Keepy Uppies.
09:48Right.
09:49For the ball launch.
09:50Okay.
09:50So cool.
09:51So cool.
09:51Like, it's literally gone crazy.
09:53Right, right, right.
09:53Okay, but that's Will, right?
09:56What?
09:56Will?
09:57Oh, wow.
09:58No way.
10:01Will, you posted a video.
10:02Yeah.
10:03That's so cool.
10:04Yeah, so I've been practicing so I can do, like, my personal best.
10:06Right.
10:06Like, that's your personal best?
10:08No, but the hat.
10:09You say again?
10:10In the video, you're wearing the Shine a Light hat.
10:12Yeah, no.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Okay.
10:15Oh, my God.
10:16Yeah, so Ian Fletcher gave it to me.
10:17Like, he said I could wear it.
10:18Okay, okay.
10:19So, like, if Will was like, I don't know, like, Cristiano Ronaldo, right?
10:22No.
10:22Right.
10:23No.
10:23Like, oh my God.
10:24Like, oh my God, shut up.
10:26Yeah, I know you're crap.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Yeah.
10:31Yeah.
10:33Yeah.
10:35Yeah.
10:36Yeah.
10:40Yeah.
10:40Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding the official ball for the Soccer World Cup took
10:45a more serious turn overnight, with President Trump posting on Trump's official that the
10:50the governing body for world soccer should get rid of the Chinese chip in the ball, which
10:55he says can actually listen to what you say, and replace it with an American chip made by
11:00, which he says is far superior anyway.
11:04Our sports correspondent Dan Howard has been following this story and is outside the White
11:08House now.
11:09Dan, this is a story that just got a lot more serious, right?
11:12That's right, Alex.
11:13As you say, this is a story that got more serious overnight.
11:16It's Wednesday morning, and the issue with the ball has got a lot more serious overnight.
11:21And with the President posting again in the last few minutes, this time suggesting that
11:25they should replace the ball itself, Adidas being a German company, of course, and replace
11:30it with a ball.
11:31Right.
11:32Okay.
11:32Now, we here at CNC News have approached for comment.
11:35Unfortunately, they haven't gotten back to us yet.
11:37And with the President...
11:39I mean, the idea of us dropping anything completely at this point...
11:43Yeah.
11:44Uh...
11:44No.
11:44Excuse me?
11:45I mean, presumably, that would be, you know...
11:47No, no, no.
11:48Yes, so we can say this could be complicated.
11:50Complicated?
11:51Exactly so.
11:52Okay.
11:52You want to know how much the contract with the is worth over the next 10 years?
11:54Well, uh...
11:55700 million dollars.
11:56Right, okay.
11:57700...
11:57Yes.
11:58It's not complicated.
11:59That's apocalypse now.
12:00Yes.
12:00And then, when it comes to the idea of replacing the Huawei chip with an Intel chip...
12:04Oh, please.
12:05Okay, so these are just details, but first of all, Intel don't actually make their own
12:09chips.
12:09They're actually made out of either Taiwan or South Korea.
12:12Right.
12:13Yeah, and also, this is actually pretty interesting.
12:15I believe they currently supply the hardware for a lot of the US administration's own systems.
12:20Right.
12:20But like I say, those are just, you know...
12:22They're just facts.
12:23Yes.
12:23I mean, obviously, we need to get ahead of this pretty quickly.
12:26Absolutely.
12:26But when it comes to...
12:27But when it comes to exactly what the narrative is here...
12:30Okay.
12:31So what you have here is you have a fire here, and the forest is dry.
12:34Yes?
12:35Right.
12:35Great.
12:35We're on fire.
12:36Okay.
12:37Then in Mexico we have a saying...
12:40Ah, yes.
12:43Right.
12:43Well, the way to extinguish...
12:44The way to extinguish...
12:45Extinguish a small fire...
12:47A small fire is with a bigger one.
12:48A bigger one.
12:49Yes, exactly.
12:49Yes.
12:50So how do we do that?
12:51Well, then this is the question here, yes?
12:53Right.
12:53This is what I am saying.
12:54Yes.
12:55Exactly so.
12:55Yes.
12:58Also, nothing back from Lionel Messi, but they did ask us to send him the hat.
13:02Okay.
13:03Cool.
13:04Over in the social media space, having come up with the idea of mashing up their keepy-uppy
13:09ball campaign with Sarah's Shine a Light environmental initiative, all thanks to Will, the team has been
13:15busy reaching out to global sports stars to keep the ball up and wear the hat, but so far without
13:21much luck.
13:21Okay.
13:22So we keep going here, right?
13:23Like, it doesn't even have to be a soccer player.
13:25Like, it could be...
13:26Right, totally.
13:26Right, it could be anybody, right?
13:27Right.
13:27Like, even Will has like 300 views now, right?
13:30Right.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Right.
13:31So it could be anybody, right?
13:32Right.
13:33Totally.
13:33Yeah, cool.
13:34Yeah, cool.
13:34Yeah, cool.
13:35And no one is more keenly aware than Sarah of what's at stake if they could somehow pull
13:40this off.
13:40Okay.
13:41So, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Chad Vandergriff, Mohamed Salah, Abid Al Capomer,
13:48Kylian Mbappe, Narendra Modi...
13:50Wait.
13:50Narendra Modi?
13:51Okay, wait.
13:52Yeah, like he plays for Real Madrid, right?
13:54Uh, so...
13:55No way.
13:55What?
13:55No way.
13:56What?
13:56They love the hat.
13:57Who does?
13:58Lionel Messi, his people.
13:59Okay.
14:00Lionel Messi?
14:01Whoa, no.
14:02They love the hat.
14:03They love the idea.
14:03He wants to do it.
14:05Okay, okay.
14:05Oh my gosh.
14:06Cool.
14:07Will!
14:07Yeah, I know.
14:08Yeah, that's just like mental.
14:09Can I hug you?
14:11Uh, yeah.
14:12Could that be okay?
14:13Yeah, okay.
14:14Cool.
14:20I'm so sorry.
14:21I just had to do that.
14:22Yeah, no, no worries.
14:23Yeah, cool.
14:37Wait, you're saying legally I have to tell him?
14:39It's another morning, and for Sarah, it's another cup of tea at the start of another day.
14:44Tell him.
14:45I don't care.
14:45What's he going to do about it, right?
14:47Okay, so sue me.
14:49Go ahead, but you can tell him from me that I...
14:51Absolutely.
14:52No, absolutely.
14:53Okay, sure.
14:54Bye.
14:55Bye-bye.
14:55Oh, right.
14:56Oh, hi.
14:57I thought I might find you in here.
14:58Absolutely.
14:59You can't go on meeting like this, right?
15:01Yes, no.
15:02I was just...
15:02Oh, by the way, congratulations on the news about Messi and the hat.
15:05Right.
15:06I mean, that would be amazing if that happened.
15:08Sure.
15:08I mean, wouldn't it?
15:10So, his management has been in touch.
15:12Right.
15:12And they're asking about the issue with the ball.
15:14Right, yes.
15:15So.
15:16Yes.
15:16Right when we were this close.
15:18No, but I'm sure we'll find a way.
15:20I mean, in the end, it's just a problem.
15:23It's just a problem?
15:24Well, there are all kinds of problems, aren't there?
15:26And I think we're at a point with this one where the only way out of it is to find
15:28a solution.
15:29Right.
15:30I mean, that's literally the only way of dealing with it.
15:32So, no, I mean, it's exciting.
15:34Right.
15:35Yeah, so anyway, a big day, but I just wanted to find you.
15:38It's a bit embarrassing, but I think with everything going on, I managed to leave my keys behind in the
15:41flat this morning.
15:42Okay.
15:43I mean, locked inside, obviously.
15:44Sure.
15:44So, I was just wondering if...
15:46Sure.
15:46No, no problem.
15:48I have a spare set.
15:48Oh, great.
15:49Phew.
15:49So, I don't actually have them with me.
15:52Oh, okay.
15:52They're at home.
15:54Right.
15:54So, I could just bring them over to you at the end of the day, right?
15:57Well, that seems a bit...
15:58I could meet you at the condo?
16:00Or I could come to your place.
16:02Right.
16:02Well, if it's better for you to come to my place.
16:05I mean, your place, actually, of course.
16:07Sure.
16:08With news breaking a few moments ago that President Xi is threatening to pull out of the summit.
16:14Describing recent comments by President Trump about the Chinese-made computer chip in the ball as unacceptable and offensive.
16:21Our diplomatic correspondent, Andrew Duclair, has been following this story and is in Beijing.
16:26Andrew, this is a story that just got a lot more serious in the last few minutes, right?
16:30Well, Alex, as you say, this is a story that has gotten a lot more serious in the last few
16:35minutes.
16:35Meanwhile, it looks as if the issue with the official ball has got more serious still in the last few
16:40minutes.
16:41With China's President Xi Jinping now threatening to pull out of a scheduled meeting with President Trump at the G20
16:47summit in Paris.
16:48The first meeting between the two men since the last time they met.
16:51Okay, so this is not good.
16:52Well done.
16:52President Trump, as is his way, of course, appears to be doubling down with a series of new posts.
16:58With another one coming in just in the last few moments, describing the new solar-powered generators to be deployed
17:03across all 2026 venues as Chinese fake tech.
17:07It's not good news for anyone, but especially not if your mission in life as the person responsible for sustainability
17:13and climate strategy is to make the world a better place.
17:17Saying they should be replaced instead with US-made diesel generators running on US gas, which he describes as common
17:24sense.
17:24Fuck, sir.
17:25Where's Sarah?
17:26Sarah.
17:27Yes, she's in the kitchen, I think.
17:28Yes.
17:29Okay.
17:29No, you're all right. She's gone.
17:30Public areas having zero environmental impact.
17:33So, things are moving faster around here, yes?
17:35Exactly.
17:35I have good news. Zurich has been talking to the White House.
17:39Right.
17:39We have good relations there, as you know.
17:41Right, yes.
17:41Yeah, uh...
17:42They have also been talking to Beijing.
17:45Okay.
17:45Who, Zurich have?
17:46Yes, fortunately we know our president is a personal friend with President Xi, of course.
17:51Right.
17:51Wait, a personal friend of President Xi?
17:53Ah, yes, yes.
17:54What the fuck does that mean?
17:55So, apparently they share a love for opera.
17:58What?
17:58Huh.
17:59Perhaps we can say this is the power of football and music working together, yes?
18:03Yes, well anyway.
18:04Opera?
18:04Ah, yes. Anyway, we will be releasing a statement shortly, which we hope will de-escalate the situation.
18:10Great, okay.
18:11And which, we hope, will be acceptable to all the parties involved.
18:14Right, okay.
18:15Then hopefully we can all get back to football.
18:17Yes, exactly.
18:17Exactly so.
18:18So, good news, yes?
18:20Yes, but hang on, I mean, how?
18:21How?
18:22I mean, what kind of statement?
18:23What's going to be in it?
18:25Ah, yes.
18:25So, we can say they are very keen to know this.
18:28Right.
18:29Actually, we can say super keen.
18:31Right.
18:32Ah, okay.
18:33When?
18:34What do you mean is we're going to be releasing a statement?
18:36Well, fuck's sake.
18:38No, no, no.
18:38Perhaps we can say when the big moment arrives in the big game, this is where you find out who
18:43you are, yes?
18:44Well, no.
18:44Are you sure you want to know that?
18:46No mames, we.
18:46This is not any party.
18:47This is the third world war, yes?
18:48Well, exactly, yes.
18:51Meanwhile, as rumours surrounding the Chinese chip in the ball continue to proliferate on social media, and with President Trump
18:58and President Xi Jinping apparently in a standoff, the pressure is building on 2026 organizers to find a solution to
19:05this problem before it gets a lot more serious.
19:08I mean, so, in terms of what we know, we know we can't replace the chip with a different chip,
19:12and we know exactly why we can't do that.
19:14We know we can't replace the ball with a different ball, and again, we know exactly why we can't do
19:19that.
19:19Right.
19:19So, we're starting from a place where we know quite a lot already, so that's all good.
19:23Yeah, right.
19:24With the world's media watching, and what would once have been diplomats in both Washington and Beijing waiting for an
19:30official statement from ****, this is about as serious as it can get, unless it gets more serious still.
19:36I mean, is there a way, and listen, if I had a better idea I would tell you about it,
19:40but is there a way we could just turn this thing off?
19:43Right, okay.
19:43Turn it off?
19:44You mean the chip?
19:45Right.
19:45Sorry, what do you mean, turn it off?
19:47Look, so, look, I love technology as much as the next guy, so recently I've actually started sleeping with it,
19:52but in this case, but in this case, it is the technology that got us where we are here, right?
19:57Well, yes, that's true.
19:58Right, so I'm just wondering.
19:59Okay, okay.
20:00I mean, that's an interesting light to shine on this, isn't it?
20:03Interesting, is it?
20:04I don't know.
20:05Fuck's sake.
20:06You don't seem to-
20:07So this is a **** chip, right?
20:08Right.
20:08Right.
20:09How do we know if it's on or off?
20:10Okay.
20:11How do we know what it's doing?
20:12Yeah, no, okay, yeah, fair point.
20:13So what, we get our guy to have a private word with President G at cosifan-fucking-tute?
20:18Yes.
20:18Or, I don't know, maybe we cut a deal.
20:20Maybe they get to keep the chip switched on if they promise not to invade Taiwan.
20:23Yes, okay.
20:24You know, actually, that's not a bad idea, actually.
20:26I mean, what are we, what is this, a fucking high school slumber party?
20:28Okay, bueno.
20:29So what you have here, this is a runaway train, yes?
20:32Well-
20:32Exactly.
20:33Then when you have a runaway train, what do you do?
20:35What you do is you make sure you are laying the track, yes?
20:37Right.
20:38What?
20:38Exactly.
20:38I'm sorry, but I'm struggling here.
20:40So this is instead of the fire, is it?
20:41Excuse me?
20:42Yeah.
20:42Fire?
20:43Yes, I think that's a different...
20:44Obviously, this is not my area, but I'm pretty sure the train is on fire as well here.
20:47Exactly.
20:48Well, okay, yeah, got it.
20:49With the clock ticking, and the world waiting for a statement, the challenge is to find something
20:54acceptable to Zurich, Beijing, Washington, and conspiracy theorists the world over.
20:59And in an era of competing narratives, and with fact heavily circumcised, they need to find a story
21:05that's better than anyone else's story.
21:07Okay, so let's go back to the beginning and start again.
21:09Really?
21:10Hang on, haven't we done that once already?
21:11Well, sometimes, when you tell yourself the story again, you see something that's been
21:14staring you in the face all along.
21:15Huh.
21:16Like-
21:16Yeah, like disaster.
21:17Okay, so the chips are made by .
21:19Correct.
21:20And just to be clear, all the software is .
21:22Right.
21:23Uh, well, no.
21:24Actually, I believe the ball-tracking software itself is actually US-based.
21:28Right.
21:28It's written by a bunch of 14-year-olds in Silicon Valley.
21:31Okay.
21:32Right, okay, right.
21:35Huh.
21:38By the end of the afternoon, with the press now gathered outside, there's a growing sense
21:44that something has got to happen.
21:46Hi.
21:47Yes, it's Ian.
21:48I'm not sure where you are at the moment, but I just wanted to say, just wanted to bring
21:51you up to speed, really.
21:52But in the meantime, Ian is having a brief moment in the kitchen.
21:55It looks like we're onto something, and if it works, then it could even be that this
21:59whole thing goes away as quickly as it flared up.
22:01So, for shine a light, and for, you know, saving the world, basically, that's all good.
22:06Uh, yes, and then with the keys, I'm not quite sure what the plan was, so it might be good
22:10to firm up on that.
22:11Anyway, um, I hope you're well.
22:13Um, I mean, I hope you're okay.
22:15Okay.
22:15Yes.
22:16So, uh, anyway, we'll speak soon.
22:18Yes.
22:18Bye.
22:23Oh, right.
22:24Okay.
22:24Well, first things first.
22:26But eventually, after intensive track laying, and with the train still on fire, the time
22:30has finally come for someone to go downstairs and say something.
22:34There are a lot of TV crews down there now.
22:36Right.
22:36But we have said you will make one statement only, yes?
22:38Right, yes.
22:38And don't worry, I am there to protect you.
22:40Right, okay.
22:40So, in this situation, I am in midfield, I am controlling the game, you're just scoring
22:43the goals.
22:44Okay, yes.
22:45It's a perfect scenario.
22:46Yes.
22:46Ah, right.
22:47Yes.
22:47Okay, here we go.
22:48Yes, so, I've been in contact with Zurich.
22:50Right.
22:50What I can say to you is they are super happy with your statement.
22:53Right, okay.
22:54Super happy.
22:54Good.
22:55Exactly, yes.
22:55They just have one little thought.
22:57Yes, okay, just to save time here, I'm going to be making the statement that we agreed
23:00on in the room, if that's okay.
23:01Ah, yes.
23:01Not some other announcement that I haven't seen yet, and that I won't have time to look
23:05at until it's coming out of my mouth.
23:06No.
23:06Well then, in this case, we can say good luck.
23:08Yes, well, thank you.
23:09Si, gracias, thank you.
23:10Yes, exactly so.
23:12Si.
23:13Si.
23:14Si.
23:14So, we are avoiding mentioning a d*****, a d*****, a d*****, a d*****, a d*****,
23:17a d***** or a d***** by name at any point.
23:19Right, yes.
23:20You can literally use any other words you like.
23:21Right, d*****.
23:22I added that one.
23:23Right.
23:24You got a problem with that?
23:24No.
23:25Right, no.
23:26Okay.
23:27Bueno.
23:28Great.
23:30Okay, so this is going to be great.
23:31Right, well.
23:32Good luck.
23:33Thanks.
23:33Yeah, good luck, mate.
23:34Yeah, cool, yeah.
23:35So, I guess I shouldn't say this, and I mean it as a compliment, but in case it helps,
23:39I'm glad it's not me.
23:40Yeah, me too, yeah.
23:41Yeah, 100%.
23:43Okay.
23:52Okay.
23:54So, thank you for gathering here for this, and welcome to Oversight.
23:59So, we've become aware, obviously, in the last few days, of a number of rumours surrounding
24:04the official ball in the 2026 tournament.
24:08So, it's a great opportunity for us to clarify things.
24:12So, for a while now, there has been a chip in the ball used in many, if not most, professional
24:17soccer games, and there's nothing different about this tournament.
24:21But soccer is nothing if not a global game.
24:24And every four years, the world comes together to celebrate that fact.
24:28So, it is no secret and no surprise to find that the chip in the 2026 ball is manufactured
24:34in China, just as it is no surprise to find that the software that controls it is written
24:40and created here in the US.
24:42So, what do those two facts tell us?
24:44They tell a story of two of the greatest nations on Earth, the US and China, working
24:50together in lockstep, united in creative and technical endeavour, whether it's this or
24:56the cutting-edge solar power generators across all our venues, and connected to the rest of
25:02the world through the power of sport, soccer, the 2026 World Cup.
25:08We live in a complex and often troubled world.
25:12And I don't know about you, but that's a story we need to hear now more than ever.
25:17Who knows?
25:19Maybe the world can be a better place after all.
25:22In spite of everything.
25:25Mr. Fletcher, have you spoken with the President?
25:29Exactly so.
25:30Yes?
25:30Yes.
25:52Ah, hi.
25:53Hey.
25:54I hope you haven't been here long.
25:55This is so good of you.
25:56No, not at all.
25:57It's the end of a long day, and Sarah has come over with her spare set of keys to let
26:02Ian
26:02back into the apartment.
26:03So, I just wanted to say thank you.
26:06Me?
26:06No.
26:07I mean, what for?
26:08That was a brilliant thing you did.
26:09Oh, no.
26:10Well, I mean, sometimes it's like with pilots and bad weather.
26:13Sometimes you can't go around it or over it, so in the end you just have to go through
26:16it.
26:17You know, that's so true.
26:19So, I want to show you something.
26:21Okay.
26:22You seen this?
26:23I don't know.
26:24It depends what it is.
26:25Okay.
26:28Wow.
26:29They just posted it on the Far Corner site.
26:31That's amazing.
26:32Right, right?
26:36No, he's definitely better than Will.
26:38Right.
26:39How many followers has he got?
26:41500 million on Instagram.
26:43Right.
26:44Have you got 500 million hacks?
26:47Anyway, I just thought you should see it.
26:49Well, no, that's amazing.
26:50I mean, well done, basically.
26:52Well, so, really, coming over here to let you in is the least I can.
26:55Okay.
26:56Well, anyway.
26:58It's very good of you.
27:00Oh.
27:01Okay.
27:03So.
27:05Okay.
27:06Actually, is that...
27:08I mean, has someone changed the locks?
27:10Okay.
27:10I mean, could that have happened?
27:11Okay.
27:12So, we should probably talk, I guess.
27:14Right.
27:15No, look, I mean, it's fine.
27:16It's fine.
27:17I'm truly sorry about this.
27:18No, honestly, really.
27:19It's fine.
27:19I'll phone the hotel.
27:20It is not fine.
27:21You know, they know me.
27:22I'm sure they'll be able to...
27:23Also, you're not going back to a hotel tonight.
27:25Honestly, it's...
27:25You're not.
27:26This is my fault.
27:27No, it's...
27:27Well, no, it's not my fault.
27:29I mean, it's one of those things, isn't it?
27:30It's just...
27:30You're not going anywhere.
27:32There's room in my place.
27:35Right.
27:35If you would like that.
27:38Right.
28:07Hello!
