It's interesting that she wants to go back to that. She's looking for a place where people can go to... ..to go to Tí Sáiri or AirBnBs and things like that. In my opinion, as an actor in this film... ..that's the most important thing, the most important thing she's looking for... ..is that she wants to go back to her home... ..where she believes a lot of the people she's in love with are there.
On the latest episode of Real Health with me, Carl Henry, it's another alcohol episode. You loved the last one, so I think you're going to absolutely love this one.
When you go to the pub and you order a glass of wine, chances are they'll give you a large glass of wine. They'll give you a 225ml goblet full of wine. That's actually three or three and a half units.
In a glass.
Yeah, because one unit of wine is 125 mils, not the big 225 or 250 mil glass of wine.

Hey there, we are Indosport with me, Joe Malloy, and we have things like this. They were a disgrace last night, the way they were rolling around and trying to frustrate Spain. Like some of the diving, like even by Argentinian standards, was a disgrace. I was really down, like they really lost me last night. I thought it was pathetic, their behaviour. And then you throw in full-time whistle, pathetic behaviour. Like absolutely pathetic. I hope they all get bans. They were a disgrace. Like on that stage, they were a disgrace.

That's my mission as your new leader, to bring back hope. I believe in all of you and I am confident we can do it. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
He loves football and Oasis, but is Andy Burnham a true man of the people with a master plan? The former mayor of Manchester now has the keys to number 10 Downing Street, but has he inherited a poisoned chalice?
I travel a lot around the country for my job, and so many town centres are just the pits, falling apart. People drinking all day long in the pubs, spinning out on the street, punching each other. We're in a sorry, sorry, sorry state. Whether Andy has the solution for that, we'll have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, just how did Andy Burnham go from King of the North to the Slayer of Starmer? And how will his mettle be tested against the likes of Donald Trump and Nigel Farage?
The new incoming prime minister, Andy Byrne.
I don't know anything. I see that he was, I guess, the mayor of a town. I hear he's extremely liberal. So that means he probably won't open up the North Sea. You know, I gave Keir Starmer some pretty good advice. I said, open up the North Sea.
If Trump will turn on him, I think he might want to try a bit of the love actually moment and sort of stand up to him a bit.
I'm Fionnain Sheehan, and today on the IndoDaily, I'm joined by Daniel Boffey, Chief Reporter with The Guardian, to discuss the new UK Prime Minister's rise to power and the difficult path that lies ahead amidst a fractured political landscape. Daniel Boffey... It didn't come home, but you still have a lot of excitement in central London. One wonders what they would have done with the elevation, inauguration, coronation of the new prime minister had other events been taking place around Trafalgar Square. Andy Burnham, you have your seventh prime minister in a decade. Let's talk about his early life, though. Who is Andy Burnham? Where did he come from? What was his start in life?
Yeah. Well, just on this, if we had one, he was going to wear an England shirt, apparently, outside Downing Street, rather than a suit, which actually tells you quite a lot about him. He was born in Aintree in Merseyside, but brought up in a little village called Culcheth, which is halfway between Liverpool and Manchester, just above Warrington. His dad was a phone engineer, then post office, got promotion at Bile House in Salford, and didn't fancy moving to Manchester, so sort of lived in this little village, very close-knit. place everyone knew everybody else sounds like a pretty idyllic place to live and and he said his childhood was wonderful in every way he had a kind of a political education which started when he was nine years old in that he was on a trip to the zoo with his mum and dad and his two brothers and there's a car in front which said it was 1979 and it said not my fault i voted labor
