co-founded apparently there's been some
6:58
infighting he says he's shocked and

heartbroken 17 years he put into that
7:03
charity and now this it's a shame really
7:06
he and the co-founder Prince Sayo of

7:11
a dispute with the chair Who was
7:13
appointed just last year the trustees

7:16
followed suit all right mess next a new

the full extent of the UK's involvement
7:22
in slavery they're not aware of how many
7:24
people were enslaved or for how long
7:27
it's pretty shocking isn't it the poll
7:29
also shows was growing support for
7:30
reparations though it was released to
7:32
coincide with the un's International Day

of remembrance of the victims of slavery

Repertory Justice projects moving on to

7:52
improve the team's performance quickly
7:54
before the World Cup he doesn't have
7:55
much time does he he skipped the Nations
7:57
League games so he needs to make every
7:59
match count he needs to figure out how
8:01
to get the best out of players like Jude
8:03
Bellingham exactly he wants to bring
8:05
that Premier League energy to the
8:07
international stage but qualifying
8:08
matches often lack the same intensity
8:11
it's a challenge finally in Tech news
8:13
Tesla's European sales have plummeted
8:16
45% there's speculation it's due to
8:18
backlash against Elon musk's connection
8:21
to the Trump Administration that's a
8:23
significant drop meanwhile their Chinese
8:26
rival by day has overtaken Tesla in
8:29
Global Revenue hitting over $100 billion
8:32
it's a competitive market Tesla sold
8:34
fewer than 16,000 vehicles in Europe
8:37
last month that's a big decrease
8:39
compared to previous performance we'll
8:41
have to see how this plays
10:53
The Lion and the gnat by Reverend Albert
11:00
far away in central Africa that vast
11:03
land where dense forests and wild beasts
11:05
abound the shades of night were once
11:07
more descending warning all creatures
11:10
that it was time to seek
11:13
Repose all day long the sun had been
11:15
like a great burning eye but now after
11:18
painting the Western sky with crimson
11:20
and Scarlet and gold he had disappeared
11:23
into his fleecy bed the various
11:25
creatures of the forest had sought their
11:27
holes and resting places the last sound
11:30
had rumbled its Rumble the last bee had
11:32
mumbled its Mumble and the last bear had
11:35
grumbled his Grumble even the
11:37
grasshoppers that had been chirping
11:39
chirping through all the long hours
11:41
without a pause at length had ceased
11:43
their shrill music tucked up their long
11:46
legs and given themselves to
11:49
Slumber there on a nodding grass blade a
11:53
tiny gnat had made a swinging couch and
11:56
he too had folded his wings closed his
12:00
tiny eyes and was fast
12:03
asleep darker darker darker became the
12:08
night until the darkness could almost be
12:10
felt and overall was a solemn stillness
12:14
as though some powerful finger had been
12:17
raised and some potent voice had
12:24
hush just when all was perfectly still
12:27
there came suddenly from the far away
12:29
depths of the forest like the Roll of
12:33
Roar in a moment all the beasts and
12:37
birds were wide awake and the poor
12:39
little gnat was nearly frightened out of
12:41
his little senses and his little heart
12:42
went pitapat he rubbed his little eyes
12:45
with his feelers and then peered all
12:48
around trying to penetrate the Deep
12:50
Gloom as he whispered in Terror what was
12:53
that what do you think it was yes a lion
12:57
a great big lion who While most other
13:00
denisons of the forest slept was out
13:03
hunting for prey he came rushing and
13:06
crashing through the thick undergrowth
13:08
of the forest swirling his long tail and
13:11
opening wide his great jaws and as he
13:16
roared presently he reached the spot
13:19
where the little gnat hung panting at
13:21
the tip of the waving grass blade now
13:23
the little gnat was not afraid of lions
13:26
so when he saw it was only a lion he
13:28
cried out hi stop stop what are you
13:32
making that horrible noise about the
13:35
lion stopped short then backed slowly
13:38
and regarded the gnat with scorn why you
13:42
tiny little mean insignificant creature
13:46
you how dare you speak to me he raged
13:51
how dare I speak to you repeated the Gat
13:54
quietly by the virtue of right which is
13:57
always greater than might why don't you
13:59
keep to your own part of the forest what
14:02
right have you to be here disturbing
14:03
Folks at this time of
14:05
night by a mighty effort the lion
14:08
restrained his anger he knew that to
14:11
obtain Mastery over others one must be
14:15
himself what right he repeated in
14:18
dignified tones because I'm King of the
14:21
Forest that's why I can do no wrong for
14:25
all the other creatures of the forest
14:27
are afraid of me I do
14:29
what I please I say what I please I eat
14:33
whom I please I go where I please simply
14:37
because I'm King of the
14:41
Forest but who told you you were King
14:44
demanded the NAT just answer me that who
14:47
told me roared the lion why everyone
14:51
acknowledges it don't I tell you that
14:54
everyone is afraid of
14:55
me indeed cried the knat disdainfully
14:59
pray don't say all for I'm not afraid of
15:02
you and further I deny your right to be
15:05
king well this was too much for the lion
15:08
he now worked himself into a perfect
15:10
Fury you you you deny my right as
15:16
king I do and what is more you shall
15:20
never be king until you have fought and
15:23
me the lion laughed a great lion laugh
15:27
and a lion laugh cannot be laughed at
15:29
like a cat laugh as everyone ought to
15:31
know fight did you say fight he asked
15:36
who ever heard of a lion fighting a knat
15:39
here out of my way you Adam of nothing
15:41
I'll blow you to the other end of the
15:44
world but though the lion puffed his
15:46
cheeks until they were like great
15:48
Bellows and then blew with all his might
15:51
he could not disturb the little Nat's
15:53
hold on the swaying grass
15:55
blade you'll blow all your whiskers away
15:57
if you're not careful he said said with
15:59
a laugh but you won't move me and if you
16:02
dare leave this spot without fighting me
16:04
I'll tell all the beasts of the forest
16:06
that you are afraid of me and they'll
16:11
King roared the lion very well since you
16:15
will fight let it be so you agree to the
16:19
conditions then the one who conquers
16:21
shall be king oh certainly laughed the
16:25
lion for he expected an easy Victory are
16:28
you you ready quite ready then go roared
16:32
the lion and with that he sprang forward
16:35
with open Jaws thinking he could easily
16:37
swallow a million gnats but just as the
16:41
great Jaws were about to close upon the
16:43
blade of grass where to the knat clung
16:45
what should happen but that the Gat
16:47
suddenly spread his wings and nimbly
16:49
flew where do you think right into one
16:53
nostrils and there he began to sting
16:56
sting Sting the lion wandered and
17:00
thundered and blundered but the gnat
17:01
went on stinging he foamed and he moaned
17:04
and he groaned and still the gnat went
17:06
on stinging he rubbed his head on the
17:09
ground in agony he swirled his tail in
17:11
Furious passion he roared he spluttered
17:13
he sniffed he snuffed and still the Gat
17:16
went on stinging oh my poor nose my nose
17:20
my nose the lion began to moan come down
17:23
come down come down my nose my nose my
17:25
nose you're King of the Forest your king
17:27
your king only come down my nose my nose
17:31
nose so at last the Gat flew out from
17:34
the Lion's nostril and went back to his
17:36
waving grass blade while the lion slunk
17:39
away into the depths of the forest with
17:41
his tail between his legs beaten and by
17:46
gnat What a fine fellow am I to be sure
17:49
exclaimed the gnat as he proudly plumed
17:51
his wings I've beaten a lion a lion dear
17:55
me I ought to have been King long ago
17:57
I'm so clever so big so strong oh the
18:02
Nat's frightened cry was caused by
18:04
finding himself entangled in some silky
18:06
sword of threads while gloating over his
18:09
victory the wind had risen and his grass
18:13
blade had swayed violently to and fro
18:15
unnoticed by him a stronger gust than
18:18
usual had bent the blade downward close
18:20
to the ground and then something caught
18:22
it and held it fast and with it the
18:25
Victorious gnat oh the desperate
18:27
struggles he made to get free alas he
18:31
became more entangled than ever you can
18:33
guess what it was a spider's web hung
18:36
out from the overhanging branch of a
18:38
tree and then flippery Flopper flippery
18:43
floppy flop flip flop flip flop flipflop
18:46
down his stairs came cunning father
18:48
spider and quickly gobbled up the little
18:51
Gat for his supper and that was the end
18:54
of him a strong lion and what overcame
18:59
a gnat a clever gnat and what overcame
19:02
him a spider's web he who had beaten the
19:07
strong lion had been overcome by the
19:11
subtle snare of a spider's
