12:56
news out of Sudan today the Army has
12:58
retak taken the presidential Palace in
13:00
carum a pretty significant win against
13:03
the rapid support forces in that ongoing
13:05
Civil War we've seen videos circulating
13:07
online showing soldiers inside the
13:10
damaged building wow that's a major
13:12
development it sounds like a turning
13:15
perhaps potentially it was the last
13:17
stronghold the rsf had in the capital
13:20
Switching gears now there's been a power
13:22
struggle and CP and Tigra and it looks
13:24
like War could be Brewing between
13:29
gr's interim leader has fled a rival
13:31
faction is in control and Ethiopian
13:32
troops are moving towards the arrian
13:34
Border people on the ground are really
13:36
worried about another conflict breaking
13:38
out that's incredibly concerning that
13:41
region has seen so much turmoil already
13:43
absolutely it's a delicate situation now
13:46
for some sports news sir Jim Ratcliffe
13:48
co-owner of Manchester United is facing
13:51
some backlash he wants public funds to
13:54
help build what he calls the world's
13:56
greatest Stadium the kicker he's asking
13:58
for his funding after moving to Monaco
14:00
to avoid UK taxes hold on he left the UK
14:03
for tax purposes but now wants UK
14:05
taxpayers to fund his project that's
14:07
bold people are calling it outrageous
14:10
and I could see why it's a tough sell
14:13
finally let's talk Tech meta the parent
14:15
company of Facebook and Instagram has
14:17
agreed to stop targeting a UK citizen
14:19
with personalized ads after a privacy
14:21
case settlement this could have big
14:23
implications for other users and get
14:25
this they're considering a paid adree
14:27
version of their platforms for UK users
14:30
so potentially pay to escape the
14:34
ads interesting I wonder how many people
14:36
would actually go for that it'll be
14:39
interesting to see how that plays out
14:40
and that's all the time we have for
14:41
today stay tuned for more updates the
14:44
cat once upon a time there lived an old
14:48
man and his wife in a dirty Tumbl down
14:50
Cottage not very far from The Splendid
14:53
Palace where the king and queen
14:56
dwelt in spite of The Wretched state of
14:58
the hut which many people declared was
15:00
too bad even for a pig to live in the
15:03
old man was very rich for he was a great
15:06
Miser and lucky besides and would often
15:09
go without food all day sooner than
15:11
change one of his beloved gold
15:14
pieces but after a while he found that
15:16
he had starved himself once too often he
15:19
felt ill and had no strength to get well
15:22
again and in a few days he died leaving
15:25
his wife and one son behind
15:27
him the the night following his death
15:30
the son dreamed that an unknown man
15:33
appeared to him and said listen to me
15:36
your father is dead and your mother will
15:38
soon die and all their riches will
15:40
belong to you half of his wealth is ill
15:43
gotten and this you must give back to
15:45
the poor from whom he squeezed it the
15:48
other half you must throw into the Sea
15:50
Watch however as the money sinks into
15:53
the water and if anything should swim
15:55
catch it and keep it even if it is
15:58
nothing more than a bit of
16:00
paper then the man vanished and the
16:03
awoke the remembrance of his dream
16:06
troubled him greatly he did not want to
16:08
part with the riches that his father had
16:10
left him for he had known all his life
16:12
what it was to be cold and hungry and
16:15
now he had hoped for a little comfort
16:17
and pleasure still he was honest and
16:21
good-hearted and if his father had come
16:23
wrongfully by his wealth he felt he
16:25
could never enjoy it and at last he made
16:28
up his mind mind to do as he had been
16:30
bidden he found out who were the people
16:33
who were poorest in the village and
16:35
spent half of his money in helping them
16:37
and the other half he put in his pocket
16:40
from a rock that jutted right out into
16:42
the sea he flung it in in a moment it
16:45
was out of sight and no man could have
16:47
told the spot where it had sunk except
16:50
for a tiny scrap of paper floating on
16:52
the water he stretched down carefully
16:55
and managed to reach it and on opening
16:58
it found six shillings wrapped
17:00
inside this was now all the money he had
17:04
world the young man stood and looked at
17:07
it thoughtfully well I can't do much
17:10
with this he said to himself but after
17:13
all six shillings were better than
17:15
nothing and he wrapped them up again and
17:17
slipped them into his
17:19
coat he worked in his garden for the
17:21
next few weeks and he and his mother
17:23
contrived to live on the fruit and
17:25
vegetables he got out of it and then she
17:29
the poor fellow felt very sad when he
17:32
had laid her in her grave and with a
17:34
heavy heart he wandered into the forest
17:37
not knowing where he was
17:40
going by and by he began to get hungry
17:43
and seeing a small Hut in front of him
17:45
he knocked at the door and asked if they
17:49
milk the old woman who opened it begged
17:52
him to come in adding kindly that if he
17:54
wanted a night's lodging he might have
17:56
it without it costing him anything
17:59
two women and three men were at supper
18:02
when he entered and silently made room
18:04
for him to sit down by them when he had
18:07
eaten he began to look about him and was
18:09
surprised to see an animal sitting by
18:12
the fire different from anything he had
18:14
ever noticed before it was gray in color
18:16
and not very big but its eyes were large
18:19
and very bright and it seemed to be
18:21
singing in an odd way quite unlike any
18:25
forest what is the name of that strange
18:28
little creature asked he and they
18:30
answered we call it a cat I should like
18:34
to buy it if it is not too dear said the
18:36
young man it would be company for me and
18:40
they told him that he might have it for
18:41
six shillings if he cared to give so
18:43
much the young man took out his precious
18:46
bit of paper handed them the six
18:48
shillings and the next morning bade them
18:50
farewell with the cat lying snugly in
18:53
his cloak for the whole day they
18:56
wandered through Meadows and forests
18:58
till in the evening they reached the
18:59
house the young fellow knocked at the
19:02
door and asked the old man who opened it
19:04
if he could rest there that night adding
19:06
that he had no money to pay for it then
19:09
I must give it to you answered the man
19:11
and led him into a room where two women
19:13
and two men were sitting at supper one
19:16
of the women was the old man's wife the
19:17
other his daughter he placed the cat on
19:20
the mantle shelf and they all crowded
19:22
round to examine this strange Beast and
19:25
the cat rubbed itself against them and
19:27
held out its paw and sang to them and
19:29
the women were delighted and gave it
19:31
everything that a cat could eat and a
19:34
besides after hearing the youth's story
19:37
and how he had nothing in the world left
19:39
him except his cat the old man advised
19:42
him to go to the Palace which was only a
19:44
few miles distance and take counsel of
19:46
the king who was kind to everyone and
19:48
would certainly be his friend the young
19:51
man thanked him and said he would gladly
19:53
take his advice and early next morning
19:55
he set out for the Royal Palace
19:58
he sent a message to the king to beg for
20:01
an audience and received a reply that he
20:03
was to go into the Great Hall where he
20:07
magesty the King was at dinner with his
20:09
court when the young man entered and he
20:11
signed to him to come near the youth
20:14
bowed low and then gazed in surprise at
20:16
the crowd of little black creatures who
20:18
were running about the floor and even on
20:20
the table itself indeed they were so
20:22
bold that they snatched pieces of food
20:24
from the king's own plate and if he
20:26
drove them away tried to bite his hand
20:28
so that could not eat his food and his
20:30
courtiers fared no better what sort of
20:33
animals are these asked the Youth of one
20:35
of the ladies sitting near him they are
20:38
called rats answered the king who had
20:40
overheard the question and for years we
20:42
have tried some way of putting an end to
20:44
them but it is impossible they come into
20:47
beds at this moment something was seen
20:50
flying through the air the cat was on
20:52
the table and with two or three shakes a
20:54
number of rats were lying dead round him
20:57
then a great scuffling of feet Was Heard
20:59
and in a few minutes the hall was
21:01
clear for some minutes the king and his
21:03
courters only looked at each other in
21:05
astonishment what kind of animal is that
21:08
which can work magic of this sort asked
21:10
he and the young man told him that it
21:12
was called a cat and that he had bought
21:15
it for six shillings and the King
21:17
answered because of the luck you have
21:19
brought me in freeing my Palace from the
21:21
plague which is tormented me for many
21:23
years I will give you the choice of two
21:25
things either you shall be my prime
21:27
minister or else you shall marry my
21:30
daughter and Reign after me say which
21:33
