Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
There are thousands and thousands of pages of documents and they are accounts from CIA agents. There's also looks like they're ledgers to me of accounting. There's maps. There are all sorts of things in this tranche of documents. The problem is you can't search. You can't filter. So even if you know what you're looking for, it's actually really hard to find it.

And this document here, it's a really bad photocopy. And it's actually even hard to read the text. And there's acronyms that people like me and you won't understand. There's codes. Some people have code names. So I think even for the real history buffs that know a lot about JFK and a lot about the JFK assassination...

this is going to be something that's going to take a few days, a few weeks to really get to the bottom of.
Global News Podcast
Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
There are a few nuggets that we don't think we knew before. So, for example, there's a conversation between a CIA agent and someone in the KGB, which was the Soviet intelligence agency. And they're talking about Lee Harvey Oswald, who shot JFK. And KGB say, oh, he wasn't one of ours. But when he was in the Soviet Union, we were watching him.
Global News Podcast
Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
We know he had a pretty tempestuous relationship with his wife. We also watched him doing target practice with a rifle and he wasn't very good at it. They called him a lousy shot. And then there are other documents and you think, well, how did they relate to the assassination of JFK? It's quite confusing.
Global News Podcast
Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
Absolutely not, Ollie, because I think people that are really invested in the conspiracy theories, and many Americans do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. They think it was either another government agency, a foreign government, or the mafia. A lot of people are going to say, well, these records are from the US National Archives.
Global News Podcast
Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
They were given to them by the CIA, and the CIA wouldn't have handed over anything. Embarrassing. They must still have... secret records about the assassination. The CIA say that isn't the case and they've handed over everything. But there are still some redactions. President Trump said none of the documents would be redacted. You'd be able to see what was on them.
Global News Podcast
Ukraine says Russia broke pledge not to attack
But on a lot of them, you can see that familiar black rectangle, which is blocking out names and addresses, kind of obvious things. But some documents are still redacted. So I think no one is expecting a huge bombshell. There's going to be gems, I think, but there's not going to be a big smoking gun.

Roof collapse at Dominican Republic nightclub kills scores of people
He thinks the security isn't quite tough enough as he would like, because he still says that he faces threats, not just from being the son of the king, but also the fact that he served in the British Army, in Afghanistan, and actually fairly recently there was a death threat made against him by a terror group.

So he says, look, with these threats against me, it's just not right that I don't have the same security as other members of the royal family.

Roof collapse at Dominican Republic nightclub kills scores of people
It does. I mean, I think this is quite a difficult time for Prince Harry. This charity was really close to his heart and it appears to be crumbling. There was this row between the chairwoman of the charity and also the trustees. They resigned, she stayed and they wanted her to resign and them to stay.

Prince Harry stepped back from his role as well and the charity commission are going to be looking into it. There's going to be an investigation into this charity. I mean, this was a charity that was set up In order to help children particularly that had been affected by HIV in Southern Africa.
Global News Podcast
Roof collapse at Dominican Republic nightclub kills scores of people
And at the moment it doesn't appear that there seems to be any resolution to this row about this charity. I mean, there's accusations that have been made by the chairwoman of racism, misogyny, not particularly involving Prince Harry, but other members of this charity. So it's been a very bitter row indeed. And at the heart of it is a charity that was set up that was supposed to help people.

We have no idea and it would be very rare for us to find out about any other visits if it wasn't his father or perhaps his brother. Now, a couple of people did shout, some journalists did shout at Prince Harry when he was going into the court saying, have you seen your father?

Because there is a chance that there could have been a little bit of a crossover before King Charles left and when Prince Harry was in the country. When he comes here, it tends to be an in-and-out trip. He doesn't really stay here for any longer than he needs to. But yes, it's very interesting timing, isn't it, that the King...

Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
Well, it was a pretty dramatic fire. There were essentially flames shooting out of the top of this substation, which isn't at Heathrow Airport, but it's pretty close by and it supplies the majority of Heathrow Airport's power. And people living near the substation said it sounded like an explosion and their houses were rocking. Around 100 people had to be evacuated from their homes.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
And actually, when we arrived this morning, we could smell the smoke. It was pretty strong. So there was obviously this huge concern about the fire. And then now, of course, there's this huge issue with Heathrow Airport. It should be incredibly busy at the moment. Where I am now, it's deserted. There aren't even any cars being allowed near the airport.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
The only cars are police cars, and they're here to turn people away and tell them to go back home.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
Well, because this airport is so crucial and deals with hundreds of thousands of passengers every day and 1,300 flights every day, it's having a huge knock-on effect because the aircraft aren't where they're supposed to be. So they've not taken off from Heathrow to go to various airports around the world. Aeroplanes that are stuck at various airports to come to Heathrow, they're stuck there.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
So it's this huge strategic mess, basically. They don't know where to put people at the moment. And some aeroplanes have been able to land at nearby airports like Gatwick Airport. Others have gone to Munich, they've gone to Paris, they've gone to Shannon and Ireland. But it's having this massive effect.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
And even though the airport will be hopefully back open at midnight tonight, there's not going to be this magic wand that means everything's going to go back to normal and the schedule will be up and running because... The aircraft simply aren't where they're supposed to be.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
So there's going to be a couple of days of really significant disruption at Heathrow Airport and other airports across the world.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
It really depends. So some airlines will be paying compensation to their passengers, but some airlines won't be covered by the same sort of rules. And then, of course, the airlines will be approaching Heathrow Airport and saying, hang on a second, you know, this isn't our problem that you didn't have the power and we're out of pocket probably by millions of dollars.
Global News Podcast
Heathrow shutdown causes travel chaos
So that will have to be sorted out. And of course, as well, in the coming days, there'll be this huge inquest into finding out how a fire could take out passengers. Europe's busiest airport and cause all this disruption. And of course, they'll want to find out how it happened and how it can never happen again.

Putin responds to Trump's ceasefire plan
She took over a very difficult time for her personally and also a very difficult time for Versace. So the brand was co-founded by her brother Gianni in the 1970s. Donna Teller had no formal fashion training. She was his muse, essentially. So a lot of the early Versace designs were inspired by her, but she'd never designed a dress. She didn't know how to cut patterns, for example.

And she was essentially forced into the role of creative director when her brother was shot dead. And many people were thinking, it's not going to work. How is she going to do it? But she made such a success with it really because she had this vision. And also she was able to attract A-list celebrities to the brand. So one of the most famous moments would have been

Jennifer Lopez at the Grammys in 2000. She was wearing that sheer jungle print dress that was split to the navel and that went right across the world. And because she was able to target those celebrities and they were really interested in the brand, that then started a bit of a movement of Versace and it started appearing on red carpets again.
Global News Podcast
Putin responds to Trump's ceasefire plan
So it was partly to do with her vision and also partly the fact that she was able to work with celebrities. She's designed for Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and then also Michelle Obama. So she's worn a Versace dress at a White House event. So she's really straddled the kind of two worlds of celebrity and then also these huge public figures.

So it's going to be taken over by a fairly new designer Dario Vitale from Miu Miu and that is owned by Prada. It's known for more simplistic designs maybe appealing to a younger audience whereas Versace appeals to the very rich jet setters that would be going to places like San Moritz and Barbados places like that whereas Miu Miu is a much more of a simple design.

think it's going to be really interesting it depends whether they lean into the heritage of Versace you know the gold safety pins the Medusa logo as I said the very show-stopping ball gowns or they go in a totally different direction there are rumours that Prada could buy Versace as well and they could essentially take it off the hands and it could be owned by Prada but Donatella is still going to have a bit of a role there she's going to be a global ambassador essentially but it won't be the same I think without the Versace family being in control.
