Why would they want to do that?
voice-verified
Well, his figures are backed by Eurostat, the European Statistics Agency, and the IMF, and the Greek government has also said they have confidence in his figures.

But Professor Yanis Varoufakis, an economist from the University of Athens, thinks that Mr Georgiou's figures, while broadly right, might be on the high side.
voice-verified
Yes, so you can see why it's not been difficult to convince people that the consequences of Mr Georgiou's recalculation were the reason that Greece finds itself where it is today, which is something Dimitris Tsakalas from Syriza points out.
voice-verified
And what's the problem that you have with the IMF?
voice-verified
Well, I put this to economist Miranda Zaffer.

So Mr Georgiou's fate now lies in the hands of the Greek judicial system, but it's usually slow going and it could be some time before we know what happens.
voice-verified
Yes, but these figures don't really give us the true picture.

This stat that the NFL players die younger than other Americans is often quoted, and its latest outing was in the Boston Globe.

And last year, a second report again found that NFL players were outliving their fellow Americans.
voice-verified
Partly due to lower cancer rates, they also had a decreased risk of dying from heart disease, and the rate of suicide among NFL veterans was 59% lower than in the general population.
voice-verified
The only area where the National Institute found a higher risk of death was associated with Alzheimer's, but overall, NFL players don't die earlier, and it's a shame this stat refuses to go away.
voice-verified
Hi, Ruth.
voice-verified
Yes, so what I need you to do is to step on the scales.
voice-verified
Yeah, both feet, please.
voice-verified
I'm going to give you weight out on the radio.
voice-verified
Is that OK?
