Le Show; 2021-11-28

From deep inside your audio device of choice. Till later is gentlemen where we're once again at a moment, a moment which seems to come around. Not infrequently these days, a moment when normal taunts us, signals to us, misleads us. Hey, you're getting back to me and then something intervenes usually. Oh, Mr. COVID. Pokes has had around again. Of course, normal is over not to not to denigrate or in any way minimize the suffering that people have experienced during this pandemic period. But, you know, normal can be overrated too. I had my hopes up earlier this week when there were early, well, it was midweek, I guess, early indications that they were going to call this new variant by the Greek letter new and you spell in English Greeks, of course, spell it with a new.

And I, you know, because it was a, it was a cross-cultural moment that was promised and which I found exciting because in Yiddish, the word new means so or well, you know, like an expression of impatience, which I thought was a great, great way to name a, a prolonger of the non-normal, but no, we got another, another letter instead. And it's, you know, it's, it's just another turn of the screw and other ride around the, the COVID carousel with all that implies. Most of it unpleasant, but I, you know, you know, me, ladies and gentlemen, I like to look on the bright side.

Yeah, it's Harry. And thanks to COVID, I've been able to achieve a goal I've been carrying around for a lifetime. I finally have gotten to learn the Greek alphabet. Hello, welcome to the show. Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone, a comedy tonight, something appealing, something appalling, something for everyone, a comedy tonight, nothing with kings, nothing with grounds. Ring down the lovers, liars and clowns, old situations, new complications, nothing for dentists or polite, tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight. Something convulsive, something repulsive, something for everyone, a comedy tonight, something aesthetic, something frenetic, something for everyone, a comedy tonight.

Nothing with gods, nothing with fate, weighty affairs will just have to wait, nothing that's formal, nothing that's normal, no recitations to recite. Open up the curtains, comedy tonight. Something erratic, something dramatic, something for everyone, a comedy tonight. Friendsy, emphraulic, strictly symbolic, something for everyone, a comedy tonight.

Ring down the entire company. Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everybody, a comedy tonight, something that's boring, something that's boring, something for everybody, a comedy tonight. Nothing that's grinned, nothing that's grinned, she plays with dear later this week, stunning surprises, cunning decisors, hundreds of packers out of sauce,

catalogs and tunics, cautions and eunuchs, neutrals and chases, batons and basses, hinders, the landerers, cupidity, timidity, mist and fate. Tumblers, grumbless, bumblers, fumbless, no royal guests, no Trojan horse, and a comedy ending, of course, goodness and kindness, and in his madness, this fine revoltrends out of wrath. Come in tomorrow, come in tomorrow, come in tomorrow, come in tomorrow. Well, there's a clue, or a cue, from New Orleans, Louisiana, I'm Harry Scherer, welcome you to this edition of the show, remembering Stephen Sahnheim, that was his first show, and I was privileged to see it in person with that guy, the guy who was singing most of the song,

Zero Mustell, you may never have heard of him, he was famous at the time, mainly for having been a blacklisted actor, couldn't get work in Hollywood, so he went back to New York, and he was a weighty man, I'm being nice now, but when he got on stage, something really miraculous happened, and he seemed to have been granted the power to defeat the law of gravity, and he moved on stage that way in that show. Now, I talk on this program a lot about the world of the godly, mainly how the institutions act and behave, or misbehave, don't really talk about what people believe, because that's their business. On the other hand, there's a real American religion, not the ceremonial kind, but the one that actually lives in people's hearts, that I do deride without guilt or fear, and it is the belief in public opinion polling.

We appear to believe it, we appear to believe that stuff, or we're being dealt with as if we do, by the media, I, you know, in some ways, there's no real difference between the two, if they treat us as if we believe it, we believe it, or we put, we put up with it if we don't believe it. Yeah, all of which is by way of introducing this week's edition of News of the Olympic Movement. What does it have to do with public opinion polling? Stay tuned. Produced by Jim Emerson III.

Deadline Paris, world athletics president Sebastian Coe, yeah, I used to run, this week described as disturbing the results of a study conducted during the Tokyo Summer Olympics, the purpose of the study to identify and address targeted abusive messages sent to athletes through social media. The survey to gain an understanding of the level of online abuse and athletics drew its findings from a sample of 161 Twitter handles of current and former athletes involved in the Olympics. This was taken from a list of 200 athletes selected by world athletics. The online accounts were tracked during the study period, one week prior to the Olympic opening ceremony, including the day after the Olympic closing ceremony. The survey found that 23 of the athletes received targeted abuse, with 16 of those being women, 115 of the 132 identified abusive posts were directed at female athletes.

Female athletes received 87% of all abuse, as according to Ajance François. Two athletes, both black and female, received 63% of abuse, unfounded doping accusations made up 25% of abusive messages, 10% consisted of transphobic and homophobic posts. 89% of racist abuse was targeted at US athletes, despite them representing only 23% of the study set. The two most common categories of abuse were of a sexist or racist nature, 29 and 26%. This research is disturbing in so many ways, said Cole. What strikes me, he said, the most, is that the abuse is targeted at individuals who are celebrating and sharing their performances and talent as a way to inspire and motivate people to face the kinds of abuse they have is unfathomable. And we all need to do more to stop this. Shining a light on the issue is just the first step, he said.

In a study time frame, 240,000 tweets were captured for analysis. This included text analysis through searches for slurs, offensive images and emojis, and other phrases that could indicate abuse. It also used natural language processing, employing artificial intelligence software to detect threats by understanding the relationship between words, allowing it to determine the difference between, for example, you killed it, and I'll kill you. Not really public opinion polling, but still a survey, differences the athletes didn't have to be at home to answer the phone, and one more item of news of the Olympic movement. A little less inspiring even than that. The head of the Brazilian Olympic Committee for more than two decades, Carlos, author, Newsman, has been sentenced to 30 years and 11 months in jail.

Oh, he knows it's a movement, and he knows we need one every day, but he allegedly bought votes for Rio de Janeiro to host the 2016 Olympics, they ruling by the judge, Marcello Bretas became public this week. That's how we know about it. Newsman also added the Rio 2016 organizing committee, so he had his hands in the Olympics in a lot of different ways, was found guilty of corruption, criminal organization, money laundering, and tax evasion. The complete package, you might say, 79-year-old will not be jailed until all his appeals are heard,

Bretas the judge, also sentenced to jail the former governor Sergio Cabral, the businessman author Suarez, and Leonardo Griner, he was Rio 2016 committee director general of operations. That sounds like a major guy. The governor said all three and Newsman coordinated to bribe the former president of the International Association of Athletics, Federations, Lamin Diac, as well as his son, ironically named Papa, Masada Diac, for votes. Papa Masada Diac has previously denied the allegations, and accused Cabral, that is the former Rio governor, of trying to cut a deal. Lamin Diac, the former head of the Association of Athletics, Federations, was sentenced to four years in jail in September 20 by a French court in relation to money laundering and corruption over Russian doping. That of course happened in France.

That's how they do. Papa Masada Diac, the son was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison and find a million pounds, both said they were going to appeal, but that's now a year and a half ago. Don't seem very appealing to me. Cabral, who's been in jail since 2016 and faces a series of other convictions and investigations told the judge two years ago, he'd paid about two million dollars in exchange for up to six votes in the International Committee Olympic Committee meeting that awarded Rio the 2016 games. He said the money come to him from a debt owed to him by Suarez or Suarez. Cabral, who governed Rio State between 2003 and 2010, added another 500,000 was paid later to the son, named Papa, you with me, with the aim of securing three more IOC members votes. No, aren't those votes aren't cheap. Brett has ruling Naples Newsman as one of the main responsible for the promotion and the organization of the criminal scheme, given his position in the Brazilian Olympic Committee and before international authorities.

Judge also said the sports executive, quote, headed and coordinated action of the other agencies or the other agents clearly is a leader to garnish support illegally at the IOC. The judge will send the results of the investigation to authorities in Senegal and France, where Papa, Masata Diac and Lamine Diac live respectively. Rio beat Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid. That don't come cheap. The investigation in Brazil began a year after the games, when the French newspaper Le Monde found members of the IOC had been bribed three days before the meeting in Copenhagen, which Rio was picked to host the games. Wait until the last minute, but you wanted them to remember the money, I think. I think that makes sense. It all makes sense. It makes dollars and cents because it's a movement.

And, you know, movements don't move free. Let's put it that way. And now here is news of the land of 15,000 princes are freedom-loving friends in Saudi Arabia. And this is basically, if you want to look at it on the sunny side of the ledger, it's just how short are memories these days? It's just a thing that we can enjoy. It's the shortness of memory. Hollywood is warming to Saudi Arabian money. One more time according to the Hollywood reporter. Well, Hollywood likes money. You know, what are you going to do? They got it. You can't hate him forever. Can you really? In April 2018, Hollywood power players gave a royal treatment to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, MBS, lobbying and jockeying for a chance to tap into the country's $500 billion public investment fund and expanding market share in the wake of the murder, though,

the Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi six months later. You may remember that was attributed to Saudi government agents. The show business industry publicly issued the relationship with the Saudis. We don't need your money. We can have less money. Now it's three years later. The freeze appears to be thawing. Saudi Arabia is kicking off a big month of showbiz activity featuring such notables as Justin Bieber, Anthony Mackie and director Joe Wright. In just about a week, two studios will launch a musical directed by Wright. Serenow. That sounds Arabian as the opening night film at the Red Sea Film Festival at Saudi Arabia's first major international film event.

God, do I want to be on the red carpet there? Don't you? The movie stars Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett and Kelvin Harrison, Jr. This is big stuff, ladies and gentlemen. It'll be screened at the 11-day festival alongside Netflix's The Lost Daughter, well-fast from focus features and universals sing to all awards, season contenders according to Hollywood Reporter, as well as an assortment of Arabic features. No, they're talking about films. While the guest list hasn't yet been confirmed, couple of the stars are expected to attend. At the same time as the Film Festival rolls out in Jeddah, Bieber, Jason Doruto and ASAP Rocky are scheduled to perform at the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah, same city. Meanwhile, the biggest, biggest film production in the country is ever welcomed already is underway. Desert Warrior, starring Mackie and Sherito Coppley, and from the writer director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

It's shooting in the province of Tabuk that didn't just pick that out of a hat. Well, they don't wear hats, but no, it's the site of the planned mega-city Neum, making it the first major project to film there. Well, that's a feather in the hat of Neum, wouldn't you know, again, no hats, no hat from the lady. And another action film, Candahar, which is about a city in Afghanistan, strangely enough, is not going to be filmed in Afghanistan, let alone in Candahar. It's going to be in production in Saudi Arabia, in an area called Ayula, an area recently heavily promoted as a filming destination, its own film commission launched this year. I think this will kind of be the turning point, says a Dubai-based producer whose film Mascoon is premiering at the festival.

It all sounds so good, doesn't it? It's got, it's got, see it now written all over it. That film, a thriller was shot in Jeddah with a crew from both Saudi Arabia and the US. Reason developments would suggest the country's pariah status isn't being treated as such by power brokers, says the highlighted reporter. They were already with signs last year with Jackie Chan, Jason Momoa, Shah Rukh Khan speaking at a conference in Riyadh, and Spike Lee and Oliver Stone set in March year and a half ago to attend the inaugural Red Sea Film Festival, which ultimately didn't happen because of the thing. They had both Spike Lee and Oliver Stone, ladies and gentlemen. So they had something in mind, some specific thing in mind. I'm guessing. That's just me. So good news for the land of 15,000 princes, our freedom of being friends in Saudi Arabia. Hollywood likes you again, and now news of our friend, the Adam.

Yes, it's our friend, the Adam, poking his attractive head into everything. The cost of two nuclear reactors being built in Georgia is now 28.5 billion. That's more than twice the original price tag. We complain about inflation, but you know, they just the nuclear people just have to swallow it or no, the ratepayers do. The other owners of plant of VOTAL, as it's called, argue that Georgia power companies triggered an agreement requiring Georgia power to shoulder a larger share of the financial burden. So they're fussing among themselves about who's going to pay more for the pay more. You can have a word called pay for you. You can have a word called pay more. I don't care.

We are proceeding now as a smiling. Jari Villan, Finland's ambassador for balance and northern dimension. That is another story, projects aimed to improve nuclear safety. Some of the few successful areas for cooperation still going strong between the EU and Russia. In roughly two years time, we will have, he says, the understanding on what and how it can be done, what type of technology has to be used. This is with reference to two old Soviet submarines. They're colorfully named K-159 and K-27. Where are they now? Rusting on the Arctic seabed. Why do we care? They've got highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel elements in their reactors at the bottom of the Arctic. The gentleman quoted was the ambassador from Finland. The sunken submarines are the potential source of contamination of the Arctic. The riskiest ones, he says, assessments made by the European Union together with Rosatom, the Russian nuclear outfit, show that in 20 to 30 years time the metals will start corroding. There's a genuine risk of leakage.

Now, I'm talking about the submarines. Therefore, lifting them in the coming decade is extremely important. He says, I'm happy we're making progress and a decision to make a technical review has been decided by the European Bank for reconstruction and development, although raising hot subs is neither reconstruction nor development. Hopefully, when those technical reviews are done, we will come to a phase where we can make decisions on a lifting operation. The ambassador says, with enthusiasm, according to the Baroness observer, the Baroness is the sea in the Arctic where the subs are located. A nuclear submarine from the sea that is nothing new, it's difficult but doable. In 2002, the Dutch salvage company, Mamouette, managed to raise the ill-fated Kursk.

Ill-fated Kursk submarine from the Baron Sea, a special barge was built with wires attached underneath. The wreck of the Kursk was safely bought in and placed in a dry dock where the decommissioning took place. The two rusty nuclear subs, K-27K-159, represent ticking radioactive time bombs for the Arctic and its environment. K-159 sank in late 2003 in August, late August, while being towed in bad weather. Towards a shipyard north of Murmansk, researchers have since then monitored the wreck fearing leakages of radioactivity from two old nuclear reactors on board. A joint Norwegian Russian expedition in 2014 concluded no leakage has so far occurred from the reactors to the surrounding environment but the bad shape of the hull could eventually lead to radioactive stuff leaking out. The two onboard reactors on that ship contained about 800 kilograms of spent nuclear fuel.

Yes, I don't know what 800 kilograms is and I probably never will. A pulse discharge of the entire CZ-137 inventory from the two reactors could increase concentrations in COD in the eastern part of the sea up to 100 times current levels for a two-year period. According to the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, while a CZ-1 increase of 100 times in COD, sounds dramatic the levels would still be below international guidelines. Those must be really high guidelines but that increase could still make it difficult to market the fish. There'd be a lot of spare COD. K-27, the other submarine in urgency, the lift was on purpose dumped in the sea way back in 1982. Divers this year in September conducted a survey of the submarine's hull. Metal pieces were cut through the thickness of the hull was measured along with other inspections of the submarine that has been corroding on the seabed for nearly 40 years.

The need to lift dangerous nuclear materials from the seabed was highlighted as a priority at the Arctic Council meeting this past spring. Russia has also actively promoted a cleanup of nuclear waste in its northern regions, including with Norway and the EU. While the mentality in Soviet times goes out of sight out of mind, the logical place to bury hot subs was the carousine ice covered for most of the year. That's changing now with rapidly retreating sea ice and drilling for oil and gas as well as increased international shipping. So you see getting warmer in the Arctic is going to make them deal with those subs. Two Congress members here in the United States are asking the U.S. Department of Energy to provide more information about the effects of U.S. nuclear waste in the Marshall Islands.

This is coming to the forefront of some attention now suddenly U.S. conducted 67 nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958. Exposing the Marshall East people to radiation that continues to have health and environmental implications. The U.S. then stored the waste at Roonit Dome. That's a concrete dome on N.A. We talk a tall where there was a belief we exploded an H-bomb to. We messed with that place. A representative Katie Porter from Orange County, California has been seeking more details about the effects of nuclear testing in the Marshalls. In the wake of an L.A. Times investigation that found U.S. stored nuclear waste from Nevada in the dome without informing the Marshall Islands, which is an actual nation. Porter has now asked for documents and correspondence among Department of Energy officials related to a letter of official sent to the Marshall Islands about the nuclear waste earlier this year.

No comment from the Department of Energy. That dome that where waste is being stored, that's leaking. The Energy Department says the leaking isn't significant. I have a feeling they want it to not be significant. Not in any immediate danger of collapse or failure, says the Energy Department. U.S. is for decades enrolled survivors from two autols in a program that provides access to medical care and treatment. 77 are still participating. So we know how they're doing. Porter and fellow Congressperson criticized the agency's lack of response to repeated documents, requests raising concerns about conflicting Energy Department testimony and the timing of a letter. U.S. happens to be in the midst of renegotiating a treaty with the Marshall Islands.

It gives U.S. military strategic denial of rights over the country surrounding air and waters, you know, where the stuff might be leaking into. 2014 study analyzed how the radiation exposure in the Marshall Islands increased the risk of certain cancers. There, especially thyroid cancer. A communications director for the Marshall Islands National Nuclear Commission said if you were to ask a group of young Marshallese people if they knew someone with cancer, almost 90% of them would raise their hands. We'll see. I can still raise their hands. We haven't now to another story from Plymouth, Massachusetts. One of the options being considered by the companies that's decommissioning the closed pilgrim nuclear power station is to release around one million gallons of potentially radioactive water into Cape Cod Bay. The option had been discussed briefly with state officials as one possible way to get rid of water from the spent fuel pool, the reactor vessel, and other components of the facility.

So we won't be fishing in the old Cape Cod Bay very much longer. And speaking of which, you may remember earlier in the history of this broadcast, I discussed with you one of the mitigation procedures that TEPCO was taking at FUC to prevent the further infusion of water into the area which was irradiating the water, which they then had to store. In Ponds or pools or tanks, you're welcome to avoid having to do what TEPCO is now going to do, which is dump that water in their ocean. The mitigating factor was supposed to be an ice wall that would prevent water from getting into the nuclear facility. Well, this week I did mock the ice wall. Well, I spoofed the ice wall. I didn't mock it. I gently spoofed it. Ice wall, ladies and gentlemen.

This week TEPCO announced it's going to do some remedial works at the Nuke plant in FUC to strengthen the ice wall. It's intended to stem the flow of groundwater because it's melting. The ice wall, what do you think it would do? The work could begin as early as the start of next month. This is part of a costly and troubled effort to secure the site following the 2011 earthquake. And tsunami, the ice wall is intended to limit the sea pitch of groundwater into the plant. It's going to be releasing more than a million tons of water into the ocean. The water contains tritium, which cannot be removed. That's a stubborn old nuclear component, Mr. Olm, Mr. Trinium. So, yes, who could have imagined the ice wall would be melting? Use of our friend, the Adam.

I stand down by the door and catch the wind and when the dives on the floor keeps on. When black Friday comes, I collect everything I want and the form my friends find now all beyond the wall. When black Friday falls, you know it's got to go. Don't let it fall on me.

When black Friday comes, I fly down to a swell floor, gonna strike all the big red words from a little black pool. Don't do just what I need. Don't wear no shots in shoes with nothing to do but beat all the time to move. When black Friday comes, I'll be on that hill. You know I will. When black Friday comes, I'm gonna dig myself a hole, gonna lay down and until I satisfy my soul.

Don't let the world pass by me, cause fish have no shame to find me. And if we don't come in cause tomorrow, let it roll. When black Friday comes, I'm gonna dig myself a hole, gonna lay down. I guess I'm sure tonight. I believe that's about a different black Friday, but we've just had one here in the United States.

Early reports indicate that sales, we got to care about the sales, have been okay. There were fears that this year's retail explosion would be dimmed by the continuation of the pandemic. We only heard about the newest variant on Friday, so probably couldn't have had much effect on black Friday sales. But of course, what's being blamed for any problem there, as well as the inflation that's currently going on in the United States, are supply chain issues. We're hearing those words spoken a lot for about the last two or three months. Supply chain issues, not enough chips to put in cars, which now run on chips. If only they did, if only they could just get a bag full and pour it into your tank.

But cars do run on chips, and so there aren't enough chips, so there aren't enough cars, which is raising the price of cars. And chips, but there aren't only, and there are other kinds of shortages. Now there's reporting that certain companies, names not provided yet, have been taking advantage of all the news reports about supply chain troubles to raise prices anyway, even if they're not having supply chain troubles. And the reason we know this is they're bragging about it on their earnings calls to shareholders. Kind of brave of them to do that, knowing that some shareholders would rat on them. But yes, it seems that there are supply chain problems everywhere, even at the North Pole. The answer is trapped in a warehouse in Rome. He can fly, but he can't get clear to go home.

Blitzen is schwitzen in a Miami port that's got Santa in small claims court. This year the North Pole is feeling the pains Santa Claus has shackled by subplot chains. More than half of the elves can't make the home. From their off-season home, just west of Santa Pole Mrs. Claus doesn't have.

The ingredients to bake her traditional night before Christmas cake. The sleigh is stuck with last year's rains Santa Claus is shackled by subplot chains. The gifts they are stacked on the boats in LA. They won't be unloaded before New Year's Day. Don't let the kids stay up to dawn. Santa will be reclining on his artificial lawn.

The screw ups are taxing even imaginary brains. Santa Claus is shackled by subplot chains. And now the apologies of the week. A photographer has apologized for her ignorance after a photo she took for Dior was accused of depicting a Chinese woman in a stereotypical way. Chen Man's portrait was shot for Dior, featured a model with quote, small eyes on quote according to some Chinese internet users.

Media outlets in China, the 41-year-old's portrait of a Chinese woman sparked outrage online, some accusing the photo of portraying an East Asian person in a stereotypical and offensive way. The Beijing Daily accused Chen Man of playing up to western brands and depicting the model in the piece from a western perspective. The newspaper described the subject of the photo as having quote, sinister eyes and quote, gloomy face. No, it doesn't. Some users of Weibo, Chinese social media site have called for a boycott of Dior products. Chen Man, the photographer, took to Weibo to issue an apology. She said she blames herself for quote, immaturity and ignorance, unquote. She was born and raised in China, says she deeply loves her country, says she has a responsibility to document Chinese culture and showcase Chinese beauty through her work.

Quote, I will educate myself on Chinese history, attend more relevant events, and improve my ideologies or statement read. Yeah, that statement sounds like it was written by somebody other than the individual quoted, now saying it. American Anthropological Association President Aki-Gutta issued an apology to indigenous peoples on behalf of the association, anthropological association. Quote, traumatic effects of anthropologies enduring legacy on indigenous communities. Continuing to quote, since its inception, the history of American anthropology has been intertwined with the record of extractive research conducted on indigenous communities. Anthropologists have often assigned themselves the status of expert over the cultural narratives and social histories of the first cultures of the Americas. Experts many anthropologists have neither respected indigenous knowledge and community contributions nor addressed the unintended and unintended impacts of anthropological research on those communities.

Anthropology must explicitly address the need to change its ways, unquote. Anthropologists, the Church of Sweden delivered a public apology this week for its role in, quote, legitimized repression, unquote, and centuries of, quote, mistreatment and complacency, unquote, toward the Sami people. Anthropology leaders of the regional indigenous groups took place in the Cathedral of Uppsala. The Apologies, the first of two outlined in a statement, released this past June by the Church of Sweden, declaring some commitments toward ongoing reconciliation with the Sami people. There'll be another public apology next October.

Non-Sami and Sami people as well as Lutheran Church leaders from neighboring Nordic countries encircled a flame at the front of the Cathedral, Archbishop. Reference to the Gospel story and Luke of the woman who suffered a crooked back for 18 years as Archbishop of the Church of Sweden, I stand before you the Sami and confess we have not engaged with you at I level. We have been curved inward on ourselves. We have not stood up to racism and abuse of power. Our backs are bent by the guilt we carry. See, it was a parable, kind of deal. We've placed unjust burdens on you. We have burdened your ancestors with shame and pain that has been inherited by new generations. We cannot undo what has been done, but we can feel remorse for our part in Sweden's colonial history. Them too, see. Returning to the quote, we can feel remorse for our inability and unwillingness to accept the truth and meet you at I level. Unquote, the Sami shared personal accounts of mistreatment and the colonization of Sami land and horrific boarding school experiences inflicted on the Sami people.

This was a technique, apparently. The colonizers used all over the Northern Hemisphere of the Western world, Canada. Oh, not only the Northern Hemisphere, Australia, it's a system. At Australia TV journalists has apologized for failing to listen to Adele's new record ahead of an interview with her. Well, that doesn't quite compare, really, with the previous apology in terms of its seriousness, ladies and gentlemen. But that's the wonderful thing about the apologies of the week. They have such a broad range, don't you see? I do. And Australia TV journalists, I said, so apologize for failing to listen to Adele's new record, Matt Durand, who co-hosts Weekend Sunrise on Channel 7, travels a London for a camera crew with a camera crew for an exclusive interview with her. It took place earlier this month. It won't be aired. Adele's label reputedly refused to allow the footage to be shown after the host told the singer he hadn't heard her new album.

Sony Music did not respond to a request for comment. See, see what happens when you don't listen to the music. Colorado Republican Congressperson Lauren Bobert apologized. She had told an audience about an encounter with another Congressperson representative Ilana Omar of Minnesota Democrat in the capital describing it as not my first jihad squad moment. And she went on in a similar vein, can sort of leaving the impression that Omar might be a terrorist, saying I'm a suicide bomber is no laughing matter Omar tweeted. Bobert did get a laugh from her audience when she said that. I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community. I offended with my comment about representative Omar said Bobert. I've reached out to our office to speak with her directly. We don't know if representative Omar has condescended to speak with Bobert.

A private investigator said he was part of a ruthless media culture that robbed Prince Harry of a normal life. Gavin Burrows apologized for his previous behavior. He appeared in a BBC documentary exploring Prince Harry and Prince William's relationships with the media. I was basically part of a group of people who robbed him of his normal teenage years said Burrows. Apparently he's unaware that normal teenage years aren't necessarily that hot. A local politician in Italy apologized for referring to a well-known Holocaust survivor by her concentration camp number tattoo in a Facebook comment criticizing her support for public health measures relating to COVID-19. And finally, 1980s pop singer Tiffany's publicly apologized for cursing at fans during an ill-fated concert last week at Iron Oak Post in downtown Melbourne.

She was swearing at fans while struggling to sing her 1987 chart-topping hit. I think we're alone now. Video went viral. She apologized to fans later this past week and to attendees during a two-minute video posted on Instagram saying she's been horrified. For the last couple of days, I panicked. It's not often I lose my voice and I get up there and I just absolutely had a panic attack. And out of my frustration, I said things that I don't mean at all. I love you guys so very, very much. Wow. She took it out on the fans. Well, an appropriate apology indeed. The apology of the week ladies, gentlemen, a copyrighted feature of this broadcast. And no, this is not Tiffany. . Nina.

And so we're running just as fast as we can Holding on to one another's hand Trying to get away into the night And then you put your arms around me And we told both of you throughout And then you say I think we're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around I think we're alone now The beating of our hearts is the only sign Look at the way We gotta hide our new way Cause what will they say If they ever knew And so we're running just as fast as we can Holding on to one another's hand

Trying to get away into the night And then you put your arms around me And we told both of you throughout And then you say I think we're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around I think we're alone now The beating of our hearts is the only sign Look at the way We gotta hide our new way And then you say I think we're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around I think we're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around I think we're alone now I think we're alone now The beating of our hearts is the only sign Look at the way

We're alone now There doesn't seem to be anyone around No shondelles were harmed I think we're alone now The beating of our hearts is the only sign Look at the way We gotta hide our new way And then you say I think we're alone now
