One of the intriguing stories in the paper is when there isn't much detail, such is the nature of the case, a civil servant accused of spying.
And that's an assume not an assumed name, a name change by default.
It's interesting that, you know, they waited, obviously, and we can't presume guilt or innocence until the trial proceeds.
But when they were observing this individual, they clearly had him under some sort of surveillance.
And then as he was about to depart the country on a one-way ticket, that's when they stopped him.
So presumably they were...
hoping it would lead to other information.
But once he left the jurisdiction, that would be very difficult to get it back.
And the other story that is ongoing is that of the Jeffrey Donaldson case, which, you know, it's not easy reading, not easy listening.
One of the disappointments for me in the papers is so little about Iran, the United States, what's going on in Lebanon at the moment, because I think the Sunday Times talks about Israel pushing more and more into Lebanon.
And they understand this is a sign that Bibi fears a peace deal and he wants to get as much traction in Lebanon before Trump signs the deal.
And the only other humorous thing overnight came from Trump on a Truth Social post.
It's not in the papers, obviously, but he was saying that all these artists who've turned him down for his big celebrations of 250 years of the United States, he's going to replace them with the.
The acme of all talent himself.
Yeah.
He's going to be the star of his own show in the absence of all the music.
