This is Business Live from BBC News with Sally Bundock and Aaron | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Up for sale: Tata Steel says it plans | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
to sell its loss-making business in the UK, | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
putting thousands of steel jobs at risk. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Wednesday, | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Union leaders are calling for emergency talks | :00:21. | :00:40. | |
with the British Prime Minister after Tata says trading conditions | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
What now for Port Talbot and the UK steel industry? | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
We'll be live to the Tata headquarters for the latest. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Also in the programme. | :00:57. | :00:57. | |
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting with EU leaders | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
in Brussels - the hope is trade talks can be re-energised. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
the US dollar is sinking and so is the price of oil - | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
but markets across Europe have opened higher. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
We'll talk you through the winners and losers. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
And we talk to the man behind Ella's Kitchen - | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
that's a UK-based baby food company which has become an international | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
If you want to get in touch, we've love to hear from you. | :01:20. | :01:38. | |
As ever, it's a packed show so let's get started. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
India's Tata Steel says it plans to sell its loss-making UK business, | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
putting the jobs of thousands of workers at risk. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
Union leaders had travelled to Mumbai in a bid to persuade Tata | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
too keep making steel at plants, including Port Talbot. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
The struggling steel works is estimated to be losing | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Tata says conditions have rapidly deteriorated due to the global | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
oversupply of steel, high costs and currency volatility. | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
Labour Member of Parliament Stephen Kinnock, whose constituency includes | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
the Port Talbot plant, accompanied the union | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
The indication was that the turnaround plan was not | :02:20. | :02:32. | |
acceptable to the board and so then you have to look at other options. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
That's something that will move forward, I think, | :02:42. | :02:53. | |
As we know the long products part of the business | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
I think there's a lot of confidence that | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
a buyer will be found and all of the options are now | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
being explored and the European board of Tata Steel has | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
Sameer Hashmi is in the BBC's Mumbai bureau. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
Good to see you. As you very well know, a huge story in Britain and a | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
rather emotive story as well but for the company, this particular plant | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
in Wales was losing nearly $1.5 million a day. I can only imagine | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
the company and the board saying that they had no option, they can't | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
keep running at those kind of losses. They have been toying with | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
the idea for a while now. They took over the UK operations in 2007 after | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
they bought Corus but they have struggled to make any kind of money | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
from the beginning. It was the 2008 downturn and in the last few years, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
demand has fallen, global demand for steel. What has made operations | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
really difficult for them and the market conditions really difficult | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
are the cheap Chinese imports. If you talk to Tata Steel officials, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
they will tell you there's no way can compete with China. They will | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
find it really difficult, even in the coming years, to find any new | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
buyers which could help prop up the sales. And they also don't see | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
demand for steel going up. If you look at the two main reasons behind | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
that, you clearly realise that Tata Steel see no future in terms of | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
making any kind of money when it comes to the UK and even Europe if | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
you look at the big picture. I know the union leaders travel to Mumbai | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
and they were there yesterday at headquarters and had all sorts of | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
ideas and plans for restructuring. There is now talk that there would | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
be a sale but also possibly the workforce might team up and try to | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
buyout this part of the business. Various ideas being mooted now. Yes, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
there are all sorts of talks and options being considered. Will the | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
UK Government intervene in some form? The Tatas have been talking to | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
the government for a while with the government with some kind of rescue | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
package coming in with the rules from the UK Government which is an | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
option the Tatas have not closed entirely. Although they want to sell | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
UK operations completely, they realise that realistically speaking, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
it won't be possible any time in the near future because of market | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
conditions. Even a partial sale of the operations, some help from the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
UK Government or some other investor, they are looking at all | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
the options. I think the key point is, they are not shutting operations | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
but they have not given any clear timeline either as to when they are | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
really going to wait until. That is the key question. If they don't find | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
a buyer in the next year or so, or in the near future, what will they | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
do? Wait longer? Could they go back to look at the whole option shutting | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
it down again? That is the key question which is still unanswered. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Thank you for joining us. That is the latest from the bike and there | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
is so much detail online on this story. Take a look when you have | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
time. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
is in Brussels to begin talks with EU leaders in an attempt | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
to restart stalled negotiations Trade between the two is worth more | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
than $81 billion a year. India would like to have greater | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
access to the single market - particularly for its IT | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
and out sourcing industries. particularly for its IT | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
and outsourcing industries. While the EU would like to see heavy | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
import duties on cars made Boeing says it will cut more | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
than 4,500 jobs by June. The plane-maker says it's | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
accelerating its cost-cutting The move comes despite record | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
orders for Boeing's jets. The group has recently been losing | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
market share to rival Airbus. More trouble for Brazil's | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
President Dilma Rousseff. The PMDB, the largest party | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
in the ruling coalition, has voted for an "immediate exit" | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
from her government. The move could hasten | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff, | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
who the opposition want to remove over claims she manipulated accounts | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
to hide a growing deficit. The embattled president has now | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
cancelled a trip to attend a summit She has got stuff to deal with at | :07:21. | :07:34. | |
home. A lot on her plate. I very nicely did this, a lot on her plate | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
and a lot of money on this man's plate. I'm trying to find him. Look | :07:39. | :07:51. | |
at that, the Google boss, Sundar Pichai, got $100 million in his | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
first year at the helm. I know it's a big company but seriously? | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Interesting to look back on their last 12 months and what they have | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
achieved. Of the top of my head, I don't know if their earnings have | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
been in those kind of figures. But if you were a Google shareholder and | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
you knew he was paid that much, you would want to know you are getting | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
value for money. It also just makes you think that we took the wrong | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
path! Seriously. We have both been here a very long | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
time. Let's take a look round the world | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
at what's business stories China's big four state-run | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
banks are set to report And it's not expected | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
to be good news. Ashleigh Nghiem is | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
in Singapore for us. This will give us an indication of | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
their health or otherwise of the banks, right? That's right, it's a | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
very different story to the Google boss! We had a bit of an idea | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
yesterday with the data out from China's fifth largest bank, the Bank | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Of Communications where profits rose about 1% and we are likely to see | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the same sort of result from the big four lenders which report today and | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
tomorrow. There profits are respected B-flat. The banks are | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
owned by the Chinese garment and their main road was our other state | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
owned enterprises. Chinese regulators last year flagged up that | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
non-performing loans were at a 10-year high, at a whopping $195 | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
billion. They are trying to find ways for China's big banks to swap | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
their debt to the shares. That is not going down very well. In the | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
past 17 months, China's Central bank has cut interest rates six times | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
which is limiting profits and squeezing the margins. So we must of | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
course keep an eye out for the banks when they report and we will update | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
you when we hear from China's four biggest banks. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
But now, the markets around the world and in Asia it was all about | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
reaction to Janet Yellen, the US chair of the Federal Reserve, giving | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
her speech about the state of the US economy and the global economy and | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
what it means for future interest-rate decisions. So caution | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
was the word from her. The dollar has gone down, the price of oil has | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
gone down and also Japan went down because the yen strengthened | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
significantly so goods made in Japan sold overseas are that much more | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
extended to buy is a big players in Japan had a tough day. But elsewhere | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
across the board in Asia, they were really pleased with what Janet | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Yellen had to say. Looking at markets across Europe, gains right | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
across the board as well. Let's look head to the day on Wall Street as | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
well with Michelle. The question this Wednesday is can | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
the latest Janet Yellen rally last more than an after union? Federal | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
Reserve J Janet Yellen gave what was widely interpreted as a dovish | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
speech in New York on Tuesday which broke US stocks higher and the | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
dollar lower. Wednesday's trading should give us a clue as to whether | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Janet Yellen has fundamentally shifted Wall Street's expectations | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
or if that was just a blip. Elsewhere, traders can take a look | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
at the payroll company ADP's gauge of the US job market and the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
government's data is likely to show that the economy is continuing to | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
create jobs at a healthy pace, whatever slight worries about the | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
outlook Janet Yellen may be feeling. There's also earnings from the | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
world's biggest cruise operator, Carnival. Let's stay with the | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
markets with Richard Hunter. I guess let's stick with what Michelle said, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
which is kind of the dominating factor at the moment, anyway, one | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
big part of the market is Janet Yellen, the big boss of the American | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
central bank. Not as gung ho as she was a few months ago, right? It | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
remains the world's largest economy but there are still questions over | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
China, let alone anywhere else. And so a lot of investors are looking to | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
the US for comfort. This is why it is so important, whenever she stand | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
up to speak, people are trying to read between the lines of what she | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
is saying. Easy to read between the lines this time because she brought | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
quite a bit of clarity. She did and the US markets were fairly positive | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
overnight. One of the things is perhaps the US economy is now strong | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
enough to withstand a further interest rate hike. Perhaps even | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
when it comes, it is still going to be on a pretty gradual basis. She's | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
not looking to deal rate -- to derail any recovery and sentiment | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
has certainly improved since where we were in mid-February. The FTSE | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
this morning, given the current games we are seeing, it is now down | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
well under 1% in the year-to-date which is a rather different | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
situation than we saw earlier in the year. Looking ahead to Friday, we | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
used to say it is the all-important US jobs numbers, the payroll. But | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
are we at a point now where the number is important but not as | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
important as it used to be because we are looking at other things now | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
like inflation and productivity. You are absolutely right, the 200,000 | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
headline figure that markets like disease seems to be entrenched. The | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
unemployment rate is still clearly under control. It absolutely about | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
productivity. When it starts to tighten, that is when we didn't get | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
into some kind of inflation which is what everybody wants. When rates | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
going up again in the US? Probably June. I'm going to write that down. | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
You will come back and take us through the papers. We will see you | :13:26. | :13:26. | |
shortly. Still to come. We hear from the man who setup | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
a UK-based baby food company which has become | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
an international hit. You're with Business | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
Live from BBC News. Let's get more reaction to the news | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
that India's Tata Steel is to sell its loss-making UK | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
business, putting the jobs The UK and Welsh governments have | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
said they are working "tirelessly" to ensure the future | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
of the British steel industry, but unions say the once-proud | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
industry is "on the verge Ben has been following this story | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
this morning, and he's Good to see you, Ben, and also | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
reports are suggesting that the government has not ruled out | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
possible state control or something of that nature, right? Yes, it is | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
very early days. The amounts and that we got overnight that the | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
future is in doubt for the UK steel plants so big question is already | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
about the future of the entire industry in the UK. The Port Talbot | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
side, the biggest in the UK. To get a hint of about what might happen to | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
it, we have to look to Scunthorpe because the Tata Steel plant their | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
is currently on the table and a private equity firm is in talks to | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
buy it. They would buy it and run it as a going concern. A lot of people | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
looking at that is one option. No deal yet but they said the talks and | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
progress is on track. But also questions about whether the | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
government could get involved and whether there could be full | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
nationalisation or if they could take an equity stake in it to try to | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
prop it up with some cash. Already, questions about whether the current | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
management at Port Talbot could do a management buyout, to run the | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
business by injecting some cash and running it themselves. Lots of | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
options on the table but the big question which is the most viable? I | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
spoke to one expert at it earlier and this is what he told me. | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
One obvious option would be for the government to buy it out right. That | :15:28. | :15:37. | |
would have one great attraction. If they don't do that, the order book | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
from Port Talbot words ever way to the other Tata plant. That would be | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
one stop gap action. But in the longer run, a management buyout and | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
workforce buyout, would be one option but somebody would have to be | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
there with deep pockets. It is deep pockets they would need. It needs | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
modernising and restructuring. Early days about what would happen, but | :16:12. | :16:24. | |
the future of that is in doubt. Our top story today is Tata steel has | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
decided it will put its UK operations up for sale. Thousands of | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
steel jobs are hanging in the balance. A lot more on that online. | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Imagine quitting your job as a TV executive to setup your own company | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
which becomes a global baby food brand in just a decade. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
Ella's Kitchen started life ten years ago and now enjoys an annual | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
The company sells its products across 40 markets including the US, | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
Paul Lindley trained as an accountant and worked his way | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
up to being deputy managing director at Nickelodeon before deciding | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Great to have you. Thanks for all the baby food Ruddock 's, by the | :17:09. | :17:33. | |
way. Not want! Let me ask you this, you set up this company to help | :17:34. | :17:44. | |
tackle childhood obesity. I am not a father, but surrounded by lots of | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
kids, this is baby food! The obesity problems is not with kids? It is, | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
from the early stages if you introduce them to vegetables, then | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
fruit and organic food from the very beginning, they will have that | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
relationship for the rest of their lives with the food. It is what I | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
started with, purpose and proffered together. Build a profitable | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
business but also have a purpose behind it. Talk us through that | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
journey. You were an accountant, then you are working at a kid's TV | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
channel. He became a dad and have two children, then you start a | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
business making food. How did you know it would become profitable | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
eventually because you ploughed a lot of your savings into this? You | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
don't know, because that is the risk. Entrepreneurs have to have a | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
passion for what they do, a belief in what they are doing and the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
service they are providing. They have got to have some creativity. | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
Otherwise everybody would be doing it. We created brand-new innovation | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
in the packaging and made it different. The third thing is about | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
the consumer and understanding the consumers as best as possible. That | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
is what we did. You were quoted in an interview to Forbes magazine, you | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
advise entrepreneurs to think like a toddler, what are you mean by that? | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
So inspired by toddlers, they are all caught demographic and consumer. | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
What they do, they look at the world with open eyes and they are not | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
prejudiced by anything. They are more honest than we are as adults so | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
they don't miss communicate. They are more creative and can think | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
laterally. The world of toddlers, so much we could learn as an adult. We | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
are writing a book about it and it will be published next year. If I | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
could talk about Ella's Kitchen, the food products. I know it really | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
well, I have three boys and it was great for me at the time when I was | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
in a hurry and I wanted to feed my kids what I thought was healthy | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
food. You package it really well, list what is in it, rockabilly, | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
mashed potato and a bit of strawberry. Our use selling to the | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
wrong set of parents, in the sense that the children that might perhaps | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
struggle with issues of obesity and diabetes, or problems with food, | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
might not necessarily be the middle-class, yummy mummies, who I | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
know well that I using your products? About a third of our kids | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
are overweight and 20% are obese. It covers all parts of society. Ella's | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Kitchen is sold in all supermarkets across the country and in 40 | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
countries around the world. We can't have the market share we have in the | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
UK by just going to one demographic. But we do predominately sell our | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
products across the range. There are parts of the country we don't reach. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
We use our credibility and influence what we have built up and out which | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
two other areas. In Leicester, couple of years ago we had this | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
project across a month where we gave free meals to kids at nurseries, we | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
had dieticians in supermarkets to help people shop. We gave cooking | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
lessons at food ranks in the Market Square. All designed to encourage a | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
change in behaviour. We need a behaviour change in this country. To | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
companies like you stop us from cooking? You make it too easy. We | :21:37. | :21:48. | |
want to improve children's lives. We produce cookbooks about cooking from | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
scratch, about the joy of encouraging your toddler to build a | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
shopping list, have fun in the supermarket, get the food out of the | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
oven when it is warm and they have cooked it. They are all involved | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
together. Involving people from scratch is what we are about. We | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
will have to leave it there, unfortunately, but we appreciate you | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
coming in. So you are surrounded by kids, Aaron? Yes, lots of nieces and | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
nephews. I thought you meant the people here. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |

False Lagan facing a 15 billion dollar hit over false advertising | :23:14. | :23:29. | |
claim. ! Volts wagon. When the scandal of the emissions broke, one | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
of the concerns investors had, wiped 40% of the share price quickly and | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
over any period of time, a number of lawsuits would be coming through. | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
It's not dissimilar to what we saw with BP and that took five or six | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
years for the lawsuits to come through and this is one of those | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
coming through in The States as what they consider misleading. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
There will be more. Someone trying to gauge the cost of this to a | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
company, like we were, trying to total it up, we didn't hint it had a | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
TV advertising campaign to cause people to sue. You are right, some | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
of the speculation around the cumulative amount of the lawsuit | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
that could be coming from all sorts of unexpected corners, could exceed | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
the value of the company. That is one of the great unknown is that has | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
been a concern. And also Volkswagon having problems with its electric | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
them? Yes, fault in the batteries them? Yes, fault in the batteries | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
that is making the car stalled. While it is driving, it could stall? | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
Absolutely. It is a difficult time for Volkswagon. This time yesterday, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
we didn't make it on there because we were rolling with the unfolding | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
drama in Larnaca airport in Cyprus where an aircraft was forced to land | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
by what they thought was a hijacker. Didn't turn out to be, but it wasn't | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
the mad bomber everybody thought. Here is this British guy who | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
decides, I am going to take a quick photo with the bomber. What do you | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
think? It has got to be a caption competition. Get me out of here! I | :25:32. | :25:41. | |
am not a celebrity, get me of this claim. | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
