Your news talks WIB. It's quarter to seven and quarter to six in the UK and London right now. Givin Gray is with us and no flights going anywhere around Heathrow Airport today given.

No a massive, massive disruption to travelers. At one point a couple of hours back, one hundred and twenty flights were in the air and had to be turned around or sent to alternative airports. That was a short time ago, but of course he throws a massive hub for not just coming in but going out of the UK. Eighty three point nine million passengers passed through its terminals last year and it was handling roughly one thousand, three hundred plane movements, so landings and takeoffs each day. So that's what's being shifted today in fact, to be precise, oney three hundred and fifty one. So it's a huge concern. People have been reporting being in the air being sent back to their original destination. Others are going to be landing in cities or other airports that they didn't know they were going to get to. And we are waiting for a statement now from Heatherer, but we're expecting that soon. But certainly the power companies are saying, look, this is going to take some time to sort this out. The National Grid of saying quote, we're working at speed to restore power supply as quickly as possible. All this because of far at a substation nearby, and it's not just the airport but it's about thirteen hundred properties nearby as well, so it's a really massive disruption. And as of about twenty minutes ago was the last site and there is still flames. So this is going to take not just today. The knock on a fake is going to last several days.

Oh no, it still flames burning now goodness, Well.

Oh no, it still flames burning now goodness, Well.

It's certainly a very very thick smoke so that the fire service still there. But even if it were to be back and out and you know there, it's going to take fixing. And even if it's fixed. Heather Airport has already said we are shutting through until midnight to night at least.

Yeah, no, and they've got to put safety first. Obviously they're an amport, don't they, So you can't argue with that. Now. Nicolas Sturgeon, what's happening with her? And the police were involved, you know, there was a Police Scotland investigation into her finances and the political party's finances. Is she off the hook for this?

Yeah, no, and they've got to put safety first. Obviously they're an amport, don't they, So you can't argue with that. Now. Nicolas Sturgeon, what's happening with her? And the police were involved, you know, there was a Police Scotland investigation into her finances and the political party's finances. Is she off the hook for this?

Yes she is, and she said there is not a shred of evidence against me. So Nicolas Sturgeon incredibly popular when she was Leader of Scotland. Of course she tries to force through Scottish independence and failed narrowly, but she remained very very popular. And then whole question started to be asked about hundreds of thousands of pounds, hundreds of thousands of New Zealand dollars regarding the fees and other donations given to the Scottish National Party, and that is of course the party that really pushes for independence in Scotland. Now, she and her husband, the former chief executive of the Scottish National Party, and indeed the Treasurer were all under suspicion. But when her former husband, the chief Executive, Peter Burrell, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff god he was charged with embezzlement and made no plea during a private hearing. He was granted bail. But Nicholas Sturgeon herself and indeed the former Treasurer Colin Beatty, were told they were no longer under investigation. As I said, this all stems from donations that are about one point four million New Zealand dollars in donations given by independence activists, and it was led to her home being searched, the home she had shared with her former husband. And also there was the discovery of a motor home, a luxury motor home parked in the driveway of her husband's mother. So Peter Murrell's mother had this bizarre luxury motor home partner. All sorts of questions about how the money for that was procured and we wait to see in the long run how his case of embezzlement goes on. But as I said, Nicholas Sturgeon and Colin Beatty, given the complete all clear.

Goodness, may if you're going to go for political ambislement, you'd want more than a motor home, surely to show Finland is happy. They're happy. But what about the Brits And where did you rank on this happiness survey?

Goodness, may if you're going to go for political ambislement, you'd want more than a motor home, surely to show Finland is happy. They're happy. But what about the Brits And where did you rank on this happiness survey?

Yeah, not very well. So the UN the United Nations always looks at a world happiness report where are the people living in different countries happy? And if so, how or why? And Finland tops that ranking for the eighth consecutive year. It's actually ahead of three other Nordic companies in this particular report, while in Latin America, Costa Rica and Mexico enter the top ten for the first time you ask about the UK, I'm afraid we're down to twenty third. We drop down a couple of places. This is America dropped down to twenty fourth, the lowest ever position for the latter. How did New Zealand do well? New Zealand has come in at twelfth, the same position as last year, Australia eleventh, and both Australia and New Zealand are one place down in the last two years, but nevertheless sort of holding their position and significantly above the UK. So the top ten Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Norway, Israel, Luxembourg and Mexico. And at the bottom of the table of the one hundred ninety seventh Gabon, ninety eighth, the Ivory Coast, ninety ninth Iran and one hundredth Congo, So Africa very heavily weighted at the bottom end. So why might people be happy? Well, they're saying it could be a change in direction of political polarization. Sharing meals. They believe is a strength to happiness. And also there are you know, household sized saying four or five people living together has the highest levels of happiness in Europe.
