So, paddy, it s our last weekend for a bit. There will be newscasts after this weekend at the weekend, but we will not be together again until september. Yes, it s very sad. Well, it s well earned break for people who listen. We had to think about it. It s really for health and safety. It s like here it s like people who roadies who work on concerts, they have to be given time off. They can t just. Well, that s true, but we do. Actually, i won t be here next week. But you can share with people if you like an interview i ve done today with kit harington and olivia washington. That s quite fun. Kit harington, jon snow from game of thrones, and olivia washington, with whom he s starring in that controversial play, slave play. So i ve been talking to them today, and you could have a listen to that next weekend. So i ll still be here hanging around to annoy you. But in the meantime, we ve been having a think about what s changed in the big picture this year politically and what has changed
An eye on that stop with you so if you keep pictures of the president, that s what we re watching. But we re going to start today with the republican party s full embrace of extremist policy views that completely ignore the views and priorities of a majority of texans. Today it s voting restrictions, fueled by fears of voter fraud, even though texas investigated the 2020 election result and found no fraud. No fraud in any of the measures they today banned. But facts be damned. Governor abbott this afternoon signed into law a restrictive voting bill that democrats in the statehouse held up for weeks. Many of them fleeing to washington, d.

Until some of those neighbors started to disappear. Here is kate snow with stealing paradise. It is a dream that seemed so out of reach. Quit the rat race, move to an exotic glenn, and by your very own private island. Even when she was young, she wanted to travel. She wanted to see the world. Had cher hughes the dream and she made it come true in the most unlikely place. A tiny, far away island of bocas del toro, panama. She would just take a picture of the sunset and send it to me. She said, it s like living in a postcard. Life was beautiful and simple. An escape from the pressures of modern living. Who could have known that evil could find a place in paradise, to. That beneath all that beauty was a dark secret. It still seems very on real. I don t want to believe it. This is a really, really bad guy. Just send chills down my spine.
