Ah, thank you. It's slightly exciting.

Let's talk serious stuff. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on the coast. They have finally and they left the Soviet Union a while ago, they have finally decided to stop taking the Soviet Union's power.

Yes, this sounds pretty minor, doesn't it? Minor stuff? But actually I suggested as the lead story because frankly, this is a major landmark change of direction, the direction in which these countries are facing. As you said, they were all part of the former USSR, but now Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, who have continued to get their electricity through Russia, are now switching off this weekend still Sunday afternoon here and adjoining the European Union network. They will now be connected up to the energy sources through Poland. Why does that matter? Will in the past, even though they haven't been taking much electricity from Russia over the last couple of years, it is still thought to be that dependence and a hold over those countries that Russia continue to have and threats some would say from the Kremlin about what might happen if they fall out of line. Well, now that energy line has been switched off from Russia and turned on from Poland. Local residents were told to charge devices, stock up on food and water prepare as if it was a severe weather forecast, because they weren't quite sure how smoothly andrew it was going to be in effect. Though it's all gone pretty well at the moment, and certainly now it is going to be perhaps a change of face, and now even more that they're in NATO, perhaps a move towards johining the European Union, as.

That will make Fla to be even more angry.

I was interested in this story about a British couple who have found murdered in their home in France. At those times called jets, they've been retired and they seem completely mild and ordinary. That will was a murdered suicide. What the hell happen? But now this suggestion, now there's a suggestion it's a professional hit.

Yes, not confirmed by the police. Post Mortem examinations are being carried out in about twenty hours time Monday, French time. And well, this has been a mystery. It's certainly a double murder. The retired couple had gone from the UK to seek quieter life in the south of France, but then all of a sudden they were discovered. It is reported that the wife's body, Dawn Searle, was found naked and outside, with jewelry scattered beside her. Andrew Searle is reported this is not confirmed. Andrew but reported to have been found inside, gagged and hanging. Now why apart from bizarre, the initial thoughts were a burglary gone wrong. Why is this raised interest? Well, it now reveals that the Hull Andrew Searle used to be a major figure in fighting organized crime finances. He was an investigator in looking at the money made by organized crime in the UK and all of a sudden, of course, that has led to fears that this might have been a hit, a paid for killing from the UK but taking place in France. Now we don't know, but there are reports that his body wore marks of being injured, perhaps even darres tortured. Horrific for the son and daughter who remain in the UK hearing this, I don't want to jump the gun, as I said, post mortem examination in a few hours time, but certainly the fact that somebody is so prominent in looking at anti bribery fraud all those sorts of things should have been murdered in this way without seeming there to be any motive at all has generated lots of rumors on social media.
