00:00:17News. Ukraine accuses Russia of ongoing
00:00:23ongoing deadly attacks despite the
00:00:26the so-called energy ceasefire announced
00:00:27announced by President Trump. Two
00:00:30Two missile strikes on the international
00:00:33international airport in Riyadh within within two days as Yemen's Houthis
00:00:36Houthis escalate their attacks on
00:00:38on Saudi Arabia. Coming up in business,
00:00:41business, energy chiefs pull out out of a major gathering in Riyadh
00:00:45Riyadh as the Houthi attacks intensify.
00:00:50intensify. Big night planned. And And the actor Robert Pattinson tells
00:00:53tells the BBC why he took on the the role of a journalist who helps
00:00:57helps expose child predators in his
00:00:59his new film Prime Time. It's
00:01:04both. The most terrifying thing that that can happen to you, whether you're you're if you're a parent or even
00:01:07even if you're not. It's like the.
00:01:09the. It's like the most unimaginable
00:01:12unimaginable sin possible. Hello
00:01:22Hello and a very warm welcome. I'm
00:01:25I'm Sally Bundock. Ukraine is accusing
00:01:27accusing Russia of ongoing deadly deadly attacks despite a so-called
00:01:31so-called energy ceasefire proposed
00:01:33proposed by President Trump. President President Zelensky said Russia struck
00:01:36struck power plants following the the announcement and has continued
00:01:39continued to strike civilian areas. areas. This footage shows damage
00:01:43damage from an industrial site near
00:01:45near Kyiv. Yesterday, President Trump Trump posted this, claiming the two
00:01:49two sides agreed to stop attacks
00:01:51attacks on energy facilities effective effective immediately. But the Kremlin
00:01:54Kremlin has yet to comment. Mr Zelensky
00:01:57Zelensky said the announcement was was news to him, but that Ukraine
00:02:00Ukraine would support a ceasefire
00:02:02ceasefire if Russia sticks to the
00:02:05the terms. Relations between Mr Zelensky
00:02:07Zelensky and Mr Trump have deteriorated deteriorated as the US President
00:02:11President tries to get the cost of
00:02:12of oil and diesel down before the
00:02:15the US mid-term elections. Dan Johnson
00:02:18Johnson reports from Kyiv. On the
00:02:21the edge of Kharkiv last night. A
00:02:25A reminder Russia has not stopped
00:02:30stopped attacking Ukraine. This woman woman was filming after the sirens
00:02:34sirens asking where would be hit.
00:02:37hit. She was lucky to survive a strike
00:02:40strike on a shop that killed three three people and injured more than
00:02:43than 20. This just hours after Donald
00:02:47Donald Trump announced his partial
00:02:50partial truce on Truth Social, he he wrote effective immediately, there
00:02:54there is an energy ceasefire in the
00:02:56the war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:02:58Ukraine. Both parties have agreed
00:03:00agreed do not break it. Oh. Ukraine's
00:03:05Ukraine's been targeting Russian Russian oil refineries in response
00:03:07response to attacks on its own power power grid. Ukraine said it was ready
00:03:11ready to cease if Russia did the the same. But Donald Trump's announcement
00:03:15announcement appeared to come as
00:03:16as a surprise to President Zelensky.
00:03:20Zelensky. Ukraine is ready to refrain
00:03:22refrain from striking Russia's energy energy infrastructure, and we expect
00:03:25expect Russia to show the same readiness readiness and honour. The agreement
00:03:29agreement reached with the President President of the United States. He
00:03:33He better damn well stop. It was
00:03:36was a tense weekend of fractured fractured US Ukraine relations. I
00:03:39I suggest they get a new leader who
00:03:42who can make a deal. The row started
00:03:45started when Donald Trump lifted lifted export restrictions on Russian
00:03:48Russian diesel. Many believe to ease ease fuel prices driven up by the
00:03:52the war in Iran. In Kyiv, the streets
00:03:57streets have fallen dark and quiet
00:04:00quiet as its power network has been
00:04:02been pounded. Many people here are are without light, heat or water
00:04:06water because electricity is needed needed to pump it. Ukrainians were
00:04:09were braced for a very difficult difficult few months ahead into the
00:04:12the winter. So there's a lot riding riding on this cease fire. But even
00:04:15even if it holds, the war is not
00:04:18not over. That was hammered home
00:04:23home with more drones heading for
00:04:24for the capital. And within two hours
00:04:29hours this was Kharkiv's main power power station, leaving Ukrainians
00:04:33Ukrainians questioning what impact impact this cease fire will have.
00:04:37have. Dan Johnson, BBC News in Kyiv.
00:04:40Kyiv. And I'll be speaking to Dan Dan shortly. We'll be connecting
00:04:43connecting with him live this morning
00:04:45morning in Kyiv. Major General Mick
00:04:48Mick Ryan is senior military fellow fellow at the Lowy Institute. He
00:04:51He gave us his thoughts on President
00:04:54President Trump's energy cease fire.
00:04:57fire. Well, I think the energy cease cease fire was a concoction of Donald
00:05:00Donald Trump's brain. It was a lie.
00:05:03lie. Neither side knew about it as as President Zelensky was very clear
00:05:07clear in stating. And if the Russians Russians knew about it, they certainly
00:05:10certainly didn't abide by it by attacking
00:05:12attacking a power station within within two hours of this so-called
00:05:16so-called energy truce, the Ukrainians Ukrainians would love an energy truce
00:05:18truce and part of their campaign campaign to attack oil refineries
00:05:22refineries has to has been to give give them the kind of leverage to
00:05:25to stop the Russians killing their their people. Whether the Russians Russians will agree to that remains
00:05:29remains to be seen. How does the
00:05:31the diesel deal between President President Trump and President Putin
00:05:34Putin play into all of this? It was
00:05:38was probably one of the most appalling appalling decisions we've seen out
00:05:40out of an American President for
00:05:43for many decades to give comfort
00:05:45comfort and support to an adversary
00:05:47adversary who's providing weapons
00:05:49weapons and information to the Iranians, Iranians, who is killing Americans.
00:05:52Americans. I mean, it's just the
00:05:54the most awful decisions. It's disheartening disheartening for the Ukrainians.
00:05:57Ukrainians. It will certainly not not have a big impact on their morale.
00:06:01morale. They've come to expect this
00:06:03this from Donald Trump. I think Europe
00:06:06Europe will be once again relooking relooking at its relationships with
00:06:09with America. And you know, the accusations
00:06:15accusations against the Ukrainian Ukrainian president made by Donald
00:06:17Donald Trump just are without foundation.
00:06:19foundation. And the point of those those accusations is Donald Trump
00:06:22Trump pitching those to his domestic
00:06:24domestic audience. Oh, absolutely.
00:06:26absolutely. This is part of the preparation
00:06:30preparation for assembling a group
00:06:31group of characters that he can blame
00:06:35blame for the very likely loss of of both the House and the Senate
00:06:38Senate in the mid-term elections elections in November. And Zelensky
00:06:41Zelensky will be one of many people
00:06:44people that Trump will have assembled assembled to be able to blame. So
00:06:47So there's no blame attributed to
00:06:49to him. So what should Ukraine do
00:06:52do now? Well, first and foremost, foremost, Ukraine has to continue
00:06:55continue defending its people and and defending its territory and giving
00:06:58giving us all a profound example example of what courage and defence
00:07:02defence of democracy looks like in in the 21st century. Clearly the
00:07:05the President of Ukraine has been been very cautious in his language.
00:07:08language. He hasn't wanted to overreact
00:07:11overreact and inflame an already already frazzled and frustrated Donald
00:07:14Donald Trump. But I expect it will will be doubling down on its relationships
00:07:18relationships with countries across across the European Union and talking
00:07:21talking to Nato about what else might
00:07:24might be done to prevent these attacks
00:07:26attacks on its cities and murdering
00:07:28murdering its civilians. And as I I mentioned, we'll be live to Kyiv
00:07:32Kyiv shortly to get the very latest latest this morning on what's been
00:07:35been going on overnight. But now now let's turn our attention to the
00:07:38the Middle East and Yemen's Houthi
00:07:40Houthi rebels have renewed their their warnings against using Saudi
00:07:44Saudi airports after two deadly strikes strikes on Riyadh's main international
00:07:48international airport in as many many days. Saudi officials say one
00:07:51one person was killed and 11 were
00:07:53were wounded in an attack on King
00:07:56King Khalid International Airport Airport on Sunday. That came a day
00:07:59day after 13 people were killed and
00:08:01and more than 300 injured in a missile missile strike, the deadliest attack
00:08:05attack on Saudi soil in more than
00:08:07than a decade. We've received CCTV
00:08:11CCTV pictures of the moment Saturday Saturday of Saturday's attacks, which
00:08:14which we are choosing not to show show you some of them because they
00:08:18they are too distressing. But in
00:08:20in this footage from Saudi state state television, all the passengers
00:08:24passengers seen waiting for their
00:08:26their flights do manage to get up
00:08:29up and escape after the bright orange
00:08:31orange flash of the missile tearing tearing through the building, the
00:08:35the Iran-backed Houthis have said said they're targeting Saudi Arabia
00:08:39Arabia over its support for government government forces in Yemen's civil
00:08:41civil war. And in a post on X Britain's
00:08:44Britain's embassy in Saudi Arabia Arabia advises British citizens against
00:08:48against all but essential travel
00:08:49travel to Jeddah. Dammam and all
00:08:52all airports in the kingdom except except for Medina. Here's our world
00:08:56world news correspondent Joe Inwood.
00:08:59Inwood. Saturday morning. One of of Saudi Arabia's busiest airports.
00:09:02airports. Hundreds of people from from all over the world waiting for
00:09:06for their flight. Then this a missile
00:09:09missile hitting a crowded terminal, terminal, killing more than a dozen
00:09:12dozen people, wounding over 300.
00:09:15300. Emergency services were said said to be overwhelmed late last
00:09:19last night. A group called the Houthis
00:09:21Houthis claim responsibility not not just for Saturday's attack but
00:09:25but for this one. Last Thursday at
00:09:26at the same airport, another one
00:09:29one yesterday, as well as one at at a state run gas plant with the
00:09:33the help of Almighty God, the armed
00:09:35armed forces carried out for qualitative
00:09:37qualitative operations over the past past 24 hours using a number of ballistic
00:09:41ballistic and winged missiles as as well as drones. The first operation
00:09:44operation targeted King Khalid Airport Airport in Riyadh. The second operation
00:09:48operation targeted an Aramco gas
00:09:50gas plant. The Houthis are a group group that control large parts of
00:09:54of Yemen just to the south of Saudi
00:09:56Saudi Arabia. For more than a decade, decade, there's been a brutal civil
00:10:00civil war there. The Houthis on one
00:10:02one side, the internationally recognised recognised government, which is backed
00:10:05backed by Saudi Arabia on the other. other. For the last couple of years
00:10:09years there's been an uneasy truce. truce. But that's been shattered.
00:10:13shattered. The Houthis made lightning lightning advances down the coast
00:10:16coast last month, allowing them to to threaten Saudi shipping in the
00:10:20the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia responded
00:10:23responded with air strikes. The Houthis Houthis have been firing back, as
00:10:26as we've seen this weekend, President
00:10:28President Trump is an ally of the the Saudis. He condemned the attack
00:10:31attack on Riyadh airport but did
00:10:33did not say he would get involved. involved. I think it's terrible,
00:10:36terrible, terrible. What the Saudis Saudis able to find themselves without
00:10:40without US.. Well, they're able to to defend. Look, the Saudis are good
00:10:44good fighters. But I think the attack attack was a terrible thing. This
00:10:47This attack was the most severe on on Saudi soil in over a decade. Some
00:10:51Some of those killed are now being
00:10:54being identified, one of them, Buthaina Buthaina Awada, was a mother of four
00:10:58four from Syria. She was a victim victim of a conflict that she had
00:11:00had no part in. But that seems to
00:11:03to be escalating dangerously. Joe
00:11:07Joe Inwood, BBC News. Well, Benjamin Benjamin Raad is senior fellow at
00:11:10at the UCLA Burkle Centre for International
00:11:13International Relations and he talked talked about how this these events
00:11:17events demonstrate the growing power power of the Houthi rebels. This
00:11:20This does demonstrate that. Well, Well, two things. Number one, yes,
00:11:22yes, the increasing ability of the the Houthis to cause disruption in
00:11:26in the region, but also what's notable notable here is that they have refrained
00:11:29refrained from attacking US targets, targets, US vessels, Israeli targets,
00:11:33targets, commercial shipping going going through the Red Sea. They've
00:11:36They've kept this isolated to Saudi Saudi targets again in retaliation
00:11:39retaliation for what they saw was was an unjustified strike against
00:11:42against their airport earlier against against the plane that was coming
00:11:46coming back from Iran carrying allegedly
00:11:48allegedly weapons and military officers. officers. And so and those weapons
00:11:52weapons were seen as being potentially potentially used against the Saudis.
00:11:55Saudis. So this is you know, we're we're seeing here two things their
00:11:58their ability to really cause trouble trouble and disruption and dysfunction,
00:12:01dysfunction, but also the red lines lines they have not crossed, which which is directly targeting Americans,
00:12:05Americans, although apparently one one American was killed in this most
00:12:08most recent attack. How do you expect
00:12:10expect Saudi Arabia to react to this?
00:12:13this? It is very difficult. The Saudis, Saudis, short of deploying ground
00:12:16ground troops, they are using coalition coalition forces. They're leaning
00:12:20leaning heavily on Yemen's opposition
00:12:23opposition military, which is plagued plagued with infighting and has not
00:12:25not been able to really address the the Houthi problem. And add to that
00:12:28that the Houthis basically have nothing nothing to lose. They are able to
00:12:31to move their missile launchers and and their rockets from place to place
00:12:35place within the mountainous region region in the northwest that they
00:12:38they control, and for them, it's it's much cheaper to launch these these munitions and the drones than
00:12:42than it is for the Saudis to use
00:12:46use interceptors to, to catch these these munitions coming in. And so
00:12:49so also the Saudis have targets that that are exposed. They have airports,
00:12:52airports, they have pipelines, they they have refineries, things of that that nature. The Houthis simply don't
00:12:56don't have the same exposure. So So this creates an asymmetric situation.
00:13:00situation. Despite the Saudis overwhelming overwhelming military power. Benjamin
00:13:03Benjamin Radd they're from the UCLA UCLA Burkle Centre for international
00:13:07international relations. Well, for for more now on the energy cease cease fire, which Donald Trump claims
00:13:10claims that Russia and Ukraine have
00:13:13have agreed to, Kyiv has said it it would support such a move, but
00:13:17but Moscow is yet to comment on this.
00:13:18this. Let's go live to Kyiv now on
00:13:21on our correspondent there, Dan Johnson. Johnson. Morning to you, Dan. So
00:13:25So first of all, tell us how the
00:13:28the night has been. Yeah, there have
00:13:32have been continued Russian attacks attacks on different targets across
00:13:34across Ukraine. Perhaps not as bad bad as previous nights. So a little
00:13:38little bit quieter, everyone waiting waiting to see if this energy cease
00:13:42cease fire will actually exist in in the real world. Has Russia signed
00:13:46signed up to it? Will it respect respect it? There's been absolutely absolutely no comment from the Kremlin
00:13:49Kremlin and Ukrainians would be doubtful doubtful anyway. But in the first
00:13:52first couple of hours after Donald Donald Trump announced it, there
00:13:55there were further attacks on the the energy infrastructure of Kyiv
00:13:59Kyiv and Kharkiv too. There were were already struggling with power
00:14:03power cuts and electricity interruptions interruptions that have left people
00:14:05people in the dark without heat and and without water because they need
00:14:08need electricity to pump the water water supplies. In some places we've
00:14:12we've seen disruption to metro trains trains to trolley bus services, so
00:14:16so everyone knew it was going to to be a difficult winter if Russia
00:14:20Russia continued with those attacks attacks on the power network, they'll they'll be hoping that this cease
00:14:23cease fire has an impact. But without without a clear commitment from the
00:14:27the Russians, they'll be suspicion suspicion that it's not going to
00:14:29to make much of a difference. And
00:14:32And Dan, we've mentioned President President Zelensky saying that Kyiv
00:14:35Kyiv would support an energy cease
00:14:37cease fire if Russia were to do so
00:14:39so as well. What is the general view,
00:14:42view, though, in Kyiv about this?
00:14:46this? Yeah, the Ukrainians seem to
00:14:48to be taken by surprise when Donald Donald Trump announced this on social
00:14:52social media, not the first time time he's done that. It seemed like
00:14:55like he said both sides had signed signed up to it. But the Ukrainians Ukrainians started off by saying
00:14:59saying it was news to them. They They then seem to have gone along
00:15:02along with it thinking, well, this this is what we've been calling for. for. This is what we need. So if
00:15:06if Russia will abide by it, then then it works in our favour. It would
00:15:09would be a positive step and it would would help us through the winter.
00:15:12winter. And Ukraine had already signalled signalled that it was willing to
00:15:14to cease attacking Russian oil refineries
00:15:17refineries if indeed its power supply
00:15:19supply infrastructure was to be protected. protected. But they are doubtful
00:15:23doubtful this will have an actual actual impact. Donald Trump announced announced something similar about
00:15:26about a month ago, only for Russia Russia to continue its attacks. And
00:15:30And then there is the question about, about, well, where will those drones drones and missiles be redirected
00:15:34redirected instead? Because this this certainly would not mean an an end to the war. And the expectation
00:15:38expectation is that Russia will continue continue to hit other targets. OK.
00:15:41OK. Thank you for now. Dan Johnson
00:15:43Johnson in Kyiv for us almost 140
00:15:47140 people are now known to have have been killed when their boat,

00:17:47problems. A BBC investigation has has revealed that the world's biggest
00:17:50biggest accountancy firm helped falsify falsify documents that allowed the
00:17:54the former Chelsea Football Club
00:17:57Club owner Roman Abramovich to hide
00:17:59hide his wealth and evade tax. BBC
00:18:02BBC Panorama has uncovered hundreds hundreds of documents that were backdated
00:18:05backdated by the Russian billionaires billionaires advisers. Many were
00:18:08were drawn up with the help of Deloitte.
00:18:11Deloitte. Roman Abramovich denies denies any wrongdoing. Deloitte says
00:18:15says it complies with applicable
00:18:17applicable laws. Richard Bilton reports.
00:18:22reports. Things have changed for for Roman Abramovich. He has been
00:18:26been sanctioned because of his links links to Vladimir Putin. He's been
00:18:28been forced to sell his beloved Chelsea
00:18:32Chelsea and now revelations from from inside his financial empire.
00:18:36empire. If you want to understand understand Roman Abramovich, follow
00:18:39follow the money. This is Cyprus,
00:18:42Cyprus, home to a web of companies
00:18:44companies that were holding his wealth
00:18:48wealth working with the Bureau of
00:18:50of Investigative Journalism. Panorama Panorama has been investigating a
00:18:53a data leak which shows the lengths
00:18:56lengths some of his Cypriot advisers advisers went to hide his billions.
00:19:00billions. They falsified and backdated backdated hundreds of documents.
00:19:04documents. It is trying to cover
00:19:06cover up something and what we appear
00:19:08appear to have here is a fiddle factory
00:19:11factory in a fiddle factory you fiddle
00:19:13fiddle the transactions, you backdate
00:19:15backdate them and that is what appears appears to have been happening here
00:19:19here regularly. In 2003, one of Roman
00:19:22Roman Abramovich's Cypriot companies
00:19:25companies called Kravin Investments Investments had almost $2 billion
00:19:29billion of his money in the bank.
00:19:31bank. Deloitte confirms certain changes changes will have to be made to the
00:19:35the accounts. That's Deloitte apparently
00:19:39apparently advising on falsifying falsifying financial records by backdating
00:19:42backdating them. The evidence suggests
00:19:44suggests it allowed Mr Abramovich
00:19:46Abramovich to evade millions in tax.
00:19:50tax. It's a straightforward and blatant
00:19:57blatant move to protect from legitimate
00:20:01legitimate taxation assets which which should otherwise have been
00:20:04been subject to tax. So it's tax tax evasion. Yeah. Straightforward.
00:20:07Straightforward. And how serious serious is that? Well, again, if
00:20:10if it happened in England and it it was in the millions. His Majesty's
00:20:13Majesty's Revenue and Customs would
00:20:15would be thinking about a prosecution.
00:20:18prosecution. Roman Abramovich's lawyers lawyers say he denies he evaded tax
00:20:22tax or concealed his fortune. They
00:20:26They say he was not involved in the the day to day operation of the companies
00:20:30companies and Panorama has provided provided no evidence that he knew
00:20:33knew of authorised or directed the
00:20:37the falsification or backdating of of any documents. Deloitte Cyprus
00:20:41Cyprus says it's unable to comment comment because the documents are
00:20:44are more than 20 years old and no
00:20:46no longer accessible. Richard Bilton,
00:20:49Bilton, BBC News. Let's get some some of the day's other news now.
00:20:53now. South Korea says North Korea Korea has fired multiple ballistic
00:20:57ballistic missiles, with one flying flying more than 900km. They come
00:21:00come at a time when tensions have have been rising between the two
00:21:04two Koreas in recent weeks amid weapons
00:21:07weapons tests by both countries. countries. The presidential office
00:21:09office in Seoul is urging an immediate immediate halt to the repeated ballistic
00:21:13ballistic missile launches, which which it says violate UN Security
00:21:17Security Council resolutions. A US
00:21:19US federal judge has ordered an immediate immediate halt to taxpayer funded
00:21:23funded adverts promoting President President Trump in the run up to
00:21:25to next month's mid-term elections.
00:21:27elections. The ruling follows a public public outcry over the adverts, which
00:21:31which the government acknowledged acknowledged in court filings have
00:21:34have cost it at least $19 million.
00:21:37million. Plaintiffs, including the the watchdog group Common Cause,

00:22:19game. The team were met by boos in in Liverpool as they arrived for
00:22:23for the game, which they won 3-0. 3-0. The club maintained they haven't
00:22:27haven't broken any rules and have have appealed against the verdict.
00:22:30verdict. Our sports editor Dan Roan Roan reports from Anfield. Now city
00:22:34city have won convincingly here today. today. I think that is the result result that many fans, not just Liverpool
00:22:38Liverpool fans but supporters of of other clubs would have feared feared because it does mean that
00:22:41that their perfect start to the season season continues that six wins out
00:22:45out of six, there are three points points clear at the top of the table,
00:22:48table, nine points ahead of Liverpool. Liverpool. But how much does it actually
00:22:52actually mean that? That is a hard hard question to answer. If city
00:22:55city go on and win or even just if if they're in the title race, how
00:22:59how much pride can they take? How
00:23:01How much excitement can it spark spark when you know, when everybody
00:23:04everybody knows that there is a very very real prospect that they could
00:23:07could be handed a huge points deduction deduction that would condemn them
00:23:09them to relegation or even expulsion expulsion from the league? And until
00:23:13until we know what that punishment punishment is, and until we know know the outcome of any appeal, we
00:23:17we know that city have appealed but but we don't know how long that will
00:23:19will take or whether indeed they'll they'll then go beyond football jurisdiction
00:23:23jurisdiction and take it to the courts.
00:23:26courts. Then this sense of limbo limbo will hang over this campaign.
00:23:30campaign. And what many will fear
00:23:31fear is future seasons. If it's not
00:23:35not concluded before the start of
00:23:36of next season. Now to entertainment.
00:23:39entertainment. The actor Robert Pattinson Pattinson was in London last night
00:23:42night at the premiere of his new new film Primetime. The movie dramatises
00:23:46dramatises the production of the the American reality television series
00:23:48series To Catch a Predator, which
00:23:52which aired between 2004 and 2007. 2007. Pattinson stars as its host
00:23:56host Chris Hansen, an NBC journalist journalist who worked with the vigilante
00:23:59vigilante group to expose child predators predators in sting operations, and
00:24:02and the movie has got rave reviews
00:24:05reviews so far, with many saying saying it is going to get an Oscar
00:24:08Oscar nomination. Let's have a look.
00:24:14look. Are you sure your parents aren't
00:24:16aren't home? I'm sure. Big night
00:24:20night planned. Well, who are you?
00:24:22you? Why don't you have a seat right
00:24:26right there? I'm Chris Hansen with
00:24:29with Dateline NBC. Well, our culture culture correspondent Noor Nanji
00:24:33Nanji was on the red carpet with
00:24:35with Robert Pattinson. I mean, it's
00:24:39it's both the most terrifying thing thing that can happen to you, whether whether you're if you're a parent
00:24:43parent or even if you're not. It's
00:24:45It's like the it's like the most
00:24:48most unimaginable sin possible. And
00:24:50And it's a kind of a it's like an
00:24:53an unknown entity, which is kind kind of it's been going on since
00:24:57since mediaeval times thinking that that there's a kind of almost it
00:25:01it can come in this case through through the internet and attack vulnerable
00:25:04vulnerable children. And the show
00:25:07show was a kind of a microcosm of
00:25:10of saying like, oh, we can do something something about it and we can do do something about it really, really,
00:25:13really, really quickly. And in some
00:25:16some ways that's correct. But it
00:25:18it also makes for incredibly powerful powerful TV. And that's when it kind
00:25:21kind of gets a slightly dicey territory. territory. Do you think attitudes
00:25:24attitudes towards entertainment have
00:25:26have changed now? I think on mainstream
00:25:30mainstream TV, but then it's just just been replaced. I mean, that's
00:25:33that's kind of why I was interested interested in this show because I I could see the beginning of a new
00:25:37new wave of predator catching in in pretty much the same format that
00:25:40that it was in the early 2000, and and it was really taking off on TikTok,
00:25:44TikTok, and I was just interested
00:25:45interested as to why that was happening
00:25:48happening and whether it was a algorithmically
00:25:51algorithmically based interest or
00:25:53or what I mean, what was causing causing it. And it got bigger and
00:25:57and bigger and bigger and now it's it's one of the most it's a massive massive thing on social media. So
00:26:00So it's just very interesting to to me. Business Today is next. We've
