Hello friends and welcome back to another max raid event den update video So we got news last night the max raid den events have shifted We are no longer able to hunt for the event dens for toxterity had aren't all beetle and Grim snarl They're back in their respected dens in the wild area now I did a video Covering where you can catch these Pokemon in your respected games if you want to check that out a link that up there If you can go and check that out But as I say we've got new Pokemon to go and hunt in the wild area with these new max rated debt event dens It's a mouthful and but yeah really exciting news Especially for me as a sword player. We can now actually have access to Gengor a Pokemon that was only exclusive to shield So now I'm able to go and hunt that and for those of you with shield you can go and hunt Giganta max match amp which is really good because vice versa You won't have had access to that before these events and took place And we'll hop over actually before we do that if you want to get the dens Make sure that you come over to mystery gift in your home menu and Then all you need to do is get wild area news That's all you need to do will connect it will update your game It will update all the dens in the wild area with the new event G max Pokemon that are available And as you can see it can take a minute, you know connected connecting and you'll get a little message You've complete the internet receive lists updates in the wild area and boom there it is We've got all those new Pokemon and what all those new Pokemon we have covered a few of them But let's hop over to our trusted source Serra be over here all the links will be down in the description as well If you want to check them out on your own time, but you can see we've got a few more Pokemon than just Gengar and match amp We've actually got access to munchlax now ghastly match up and we've got Snorlax Haunter match up as well So for those of you that still need to finish off their decks These might be a few that are a little difficult to get but these are going to be in the event raids as well And you can see returning from the event in January We've got Gigantamax Snorlax back again for another session for us to try and Test our luck and get this Pokemon So that's really good Especially for the competitive scene for those of you that maybe got Pokemon Sword and Shield a bit later Didn't get the chance to actually take part in that event that was running earlier in the year now You've got a chance to get Gigantamax Snorlax once again, which is great because it's such a strong Pokemon As you can see there's the regular Gengar as well as the Gigantamax Gengar and then regular match up and Gigantamax match up and these are exactly the same for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield So for the first time there's no kind of Exclusives on either version which is really nice because it was the one thing I was really worried about was that we'd probably get Gengar this time around and I still wouldn't be able to get it I have to rely on friends and just random max rate then appearing for me to actually get this Pokemon because Gengar is Definitely a Gigantamax Pokemon. I would love as a shiny and it has that white color. It looks very cool So it's definitely a Pokemon. I'll be shiny hunting for sure But yeah, you can see there's no real special items that you're gonna be getting with these Pokemon I mean, you're gonna get the bottle caps as a regular Thing that I say regular you've got a small percent chance I mean if you go to a five-star you've got a little bit of a better chance to get a bottle cap So three percent there so not so regular, but you've got a chance to get a bottle cap right candies a big mushroom little mushrooms and then some various TRs and then the the standard kind of dynamics candies and Experience candy. So that is the the new Pokemon. We've got Gengar Snorlax and the match up and then the prevolutions of these Pokemon and the event actually runs from Today, which is the 9th of March and it will run all the way up until the 25th of March now I do expect us to get Another Gigantamax event Pokemon in between now and then they're normally dropping in at least one in Between these events, so they'll hold this main one and they'll drop one in somewhere In between now and the end of March So one when they do make sure that you stick around subscribe to the channel So you know when that happens because I will make sure to cover that as soon as that happens But for this video, let's have a look if we can get ourselves one of these new See if we can get a Gengar because that's the one that I'm really excited about being a sword player Gengar was the like the one Pokemon that I really wanted to get so we're back in a Lovely spot of dappled grove between these two red ends my favorite spot Well, I just love to waste wishing pieces and there you go So we've got see you just go in between them drop them wishing pieces until you get the event then activated and then one Pops up and then you can cycle through that if you want like I can change this invite others go to the dates clip But we don't need to because this is the The event Gengar. I'm not gonna invite others. Let's just jump straight into it This is the exciting because this is the one thing they're the one drawback Being a huge Gengar fan myself playing sword. I will never shy away from saying Sword is probably my favorite out of both of them by far and even though they're pretty similar But the one thing that I do miss in Sword is not being able to catch this thing So this is a real treat for myself and being able to catch a lot of these and like I said try and get a shiny one As well. I'm pretty fortunate here. I'm getting a three-star Gengar It's gonna make catching it and beating it a lot easier now I don't know what the catch rates are they're probably gonna be running in line with what all of the other event Gigantamax Pokemon have been in the past from these events. So the catch rates aren't really that great They're not gonna fall into your favor. Even if you do host the raid for friends You're still gonna have not the best catch rate So it can be a little frustrating at times What I would always suggest is if you do get the raid den that you want as a Pokemon there like say We've just got the Gengar just save in front of it If you don't catch it then you can come back to it and you can try and try again. So Only two stuff two blocks. That's fine. We like to see that Yeah, but the match-hams pretty interesting as well, especially for you competitive players out there It has got in nice G max move, which is pretty much like no guard, which means moves can't really miss And Gengar has the trapping ability like it's mega evolution form used to have in previous generations So it's a nice trapper. I don't know if it's gonna be as viable G max as you probably would have thought something like Mega Gengar would have been I think its role doesn't kind of fit as well into the parish song Trapping role as it is it previously did and but I still think it can be a pretty powerful Pokemon come the end of it, so Come on Evie Evie helping hand and Pikachu. We've got We've got the train up now That helping hand would have definitely just done it I think it would have sealed the deal, but we do break this shield So this one's gonna be a pretty easy one and I hope I hope you guys out there hunting these these new gigantic max raid Dens get as lucky as I did with your first one So it's nice and easy to Defeat at least because some of them can be a pretty difficult the five star ones aren't that easy Let's use a repeat ball because we've already got Gengar See if we can nab this one and then we'll wrap up the video, but like I say I'm expecting I don't know what the next event G max Pokemon will be But I expect them to drop something in around a week two weeks time And I definitely will be covering that it'll be nice to see if it's a big surprise for us Hopefully it is But I don't know what to expect really going forward, but we do get the Gengar If you've got any ideas though, do leave them in the comment section down below I'd love to hear your thoughts you can see we get medium candy large candy dynamics candy figgy berry Copsie berry ally switch and trick so gone along with Gengar's ghostly tricky treats typing. I guess I Guess so there we go. We get the Gengar. Hooray. I never thought the deal would come on my Pokemon shield copy Let's hop over and see if we can have a look at it. So it's not bad. It's not bad at all as it got Yeah cursed body there we go brilliant and it's got the giant the Gigantamax symbol there So that's that's ideal my friends perfect, right? Well, we'll wrap it up there. Thank you so much for tuning in I hope you have the best time hunting these new Gigantamax Pokemon Make sure that you do take advantage of them while you can because they are running until As you can see here on the 25th of March and after that date will have new ones So just make sure that you grab these Pokemon while you can especially if you've only got one copy of the game and You're unable to actually go in and get your own Pokemon from those other respected copies if that makes sense Have fun. Thank you so much for watching. Do drop a like on the video if you've enjoyed it And I'd love to hear your thoughts on these new event dens and I'll catch you all for another one very soon So until then guys take care of yourselves and bye. Bye


All right, welcome. Banke is still hanging out with us right here on Why in the Morning. The hashtag to plug in on is Why in the Morning Everywhere on all our social media platforms. And now is the time that we take a look at the newspapers or the dailies as we call it. And we're going to take a look at the people daily. And the splash or the news headline or the highlight is four CSS list risk rejection. And this is after the vetting of the 22 nominated CSS by President William Ruto came to a close last week on Saturday. And after the interview, it was literally an interview to actually vet and see their capacity in terms of human professionalism, integrity as well, and many other items that were considered to actually vet them to see if they hold water to actually dissolve the sports as CSS. And then the main highlights in this, in that possibly could maybe be met with rejection is Moses Curia, who they say his opponents have zeroed in on his past conduct saying he is not suitable for a cabinet role. And then we have Penaina Malonza. They say those who want her rejected her saying that she did not demonstrate understanding of what her dockets and tails. You can see right there you have it on top of your screen. All right there, they say Penaina Malonza. Those who wanted her rejected her saying that she did not demonstrate understanding of what her docket entails.  They say his critics say he has too many court cases, 35 in all, and he should get them out of the way first.  And then we also had Aisha Juma Ho's opposition legislator say that she has pained in criminal case and a protest DPP's attempt to drop it. Of course she has also been accused of graft allegations swindling up to around 20 million, is it 50 million, 19 million, 20 million county government funds allegedly. So that's another top highlight on the splash of the people daily. And then on top of that we have tough questions over the killing of Pakistan scribe. Just above the splash, tough questions over the killing of Pakistan scribe, the stories on page number six.  And there's been a lot of speculations around it, whether it's the special service unit or it's the country, his country that murdered him. Of course he was an investigative journalist who was on his mission to uncover very sensitive details about his government as well. And initially he had received life threats and death threats from his government as well. So that's a story also that will be taken a look at on page number six. At the corner of that we have how families are coping with the rising cost of goods households, have cut back on spending, only buying essentials as they seek side jobs. There's another interesting story about the cost of living right now in the country. Prices of small items or as I say commodities are super high or otherwise they are high. And we are also still calling on the government. Even as the drought continues to advance, ravage different communities that have been painfully affected by the drought situation in the country. Still the cost of living is high, the economy is still hard-pinching. And we're still waiting to see if the current regime is going to make a shift to a different tangent as well. And then below that leader with Kenyan roots tax charge as British prime minister. This is Rish Sunak, whose father by the way is Kenyan and was born in Nakuru. And is now the first British Asian, first Hindu and wealthiest man to occupy the 10th Downing Street. That story is on page number three. I'm really excited to wait. Of course, there's a lot of conversations on that one as well on Twitter. If you are an ardent user of social media. And I think it's also still a national story that we'll be taking center stage for the better part of this week to see if he's exactly going to bug it. Or there'll be other developments as well if that's a story to go by. Now let's go to page number two. We shall go in that order. The people daily on page number two. That says China, hence our willingness to restructure Kenyan loans. And this is another again groundbreaking story about the debt that we owe to China. And if at all we will manage to have it paid or cleared on time. How many years should we give our current regime to ensure that they clear? And if at all if that's anything to go by, when will we clear it? And then the Chinese government has hinted at willingness to discuss a loan structure of program with Kenya, even as it affirmed the continued accordion working with the new administration for both countries. Chinese ambassador to Kenya, Zhu Pingyan yesterday said that they work within the times laid down considering that all the government has been doing is to honor requests from all partners that they work with. The ambassador also assured that his country is willing to listen, discuss and improve cooperation with Kenya as eco-partners and affirming that implementation depends on the specific programs but China has no reservations. And then just down below that they say that it's about traditional friendships with China of course with Kenya. Kenya and China enjoy profound traditional friendships and both countries are confident in the new leadership under Xi Jinping and William Ruto to boost partnerships. And as much as we have the debt we are still in partnership with Kenya. And then they've explained China is willing also to partner with to boost new industrialization processes and we encourage more and more Chinese companies and investors to expand their businesses in Kenya to create jobs to China and even Kenya as well. And then China does pursue a trade surplus with Kenya hence they need to encourage the Chinese company to import more from Kenya. And you definitely realize that you know there's a lot of projects that we have in our country that actually that are actually you know that have been spearheaded by China as well or China in partnership with Kenya. So we are still following up on that one as well to see if it's going to lead to a good end. Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning for that debt? It's a question that we can continue to ask ourselves as we live in this country. Now another interesting story is on page number three. I don't know if we are, yes it will be coming shortly on top of your screen. Politician with Kenyan roots is named as British prime minister and that is Rishi Sunak who I just mentioned that you know he is Kenyan born and precisely in Nakuru. Rishi Sunak enjoys links with Kenya. Of course yesterday became prime minister after being chosen by the conservatives to govern the country. Sunak who is also of Indian descent replaces Lee Strauss who resigned last week. Lee Strauss resigned last week. Of course it was another national groundbreaking story and just after being in power for only 45 days. And his ascension to office was historic as he became the first prime minister of color to occupy the office and in his acceptance speech Sunak who is age 42 years old. He said he addressed the nation of the conservatives headquarters in London and thanked the ruling party for expressing confidence in his leadership and he said quote in quote I will serve you with integrity and humility. That's what he actually mentioned in part of his speech. He will become the prime minister on Monday after other candidates quit the rest to lead conservative party living him with the task of steering a deeply divided country through an economic downtown to set millions of people poorer. So Nak's rise to actually leadership is Britain faces serious economic challenges including needs for stability and unity and in his speech as well as I mentioned he said it's going to be his first items to actually have a revolution or have a change on. He's also former finance minister who has been left with the task of steering a deeply divided country through that economic downtown. It's not just even not only Kenya that is facing an economic nosedive or an economic downtown. So we also have other global countries as well that are going through that economic recession. And then so Nak's only challenger or challenger the person the contestant that he's facing is Penny Mordont who is the leader of the House of Commons and former defense minister was reportedly back was reported back by 30 members of parliament compared with nearly 150 supporters by Sonak. So he has like amassed himself quite a huge following and he has money to actually win the trust of the netizens right there. Definitely such an interesting story as well to be following up. So Nak has also a daunting task of stating British politics following the resignation of Lee Strauss and the area thereafter he wants he wanted to stand for that was yesterday where he earned his first MBA. The former finance chief led the conservative parties race to replace Lee Strauss as prime minister on Sunday as he garnered public support of over 100 Tory lawmakers. You know when it comes to even understanding the politics of the UK. I feel like it's one of the first world countries that we also depend on as well. And we have seen a lot of even our Nazis not just Nazis even teachers as well. And so many people have money to like you know go to the UK to act are living for themselves. It's one of the most you know first world countries that you know has a lot of Kenyans actually earning a living and walking that peacefully. So we hope even this relationship as Rishi Sunak is becoming prime minister. We're going to have very close tight tight economic relationships as well to ensure that you know even we boost our lifestyle right here in Kenya. Now just to sum it up they say a possible return to power for the 58 year old that is Boris Johnson who also resigned. And then the question is why do they keep on resigning. We had Boris Johnson who was the former prime minister resigned and then recently we had Lee Strauss who also resigned. What what could be the problems that are festering in the UK's leadership system. Is it because of maybe economic downtown or maybe lack of support or just some other factors that are not making the leadership system coherent. Is a question that we also we are seeking answers right here in Kenya as well. And he says he had deeply divided conservatives and brought up on predictability to the rest. Even Johnson supporters had said he is a vote winner and he had enough backing from another Johnson administration that would be disastrous for the party and the country. He also sparked anger in her party and weeks of financial time. So basically I think they're trying to highlight to us that you know there's a possibility of you know an economic and also political you know miss function where you know there's lack of coherence. They're not understanding each other.  It's a daunting task. That is the word exactly. It's such a daunting task because you have a lot of responsibilities on your back and you must fulfill them up to task. Let's move to story number the next story that is on page four of the people daily. There's actually talking about why as a new team once the four CS nominees rejected that it's literally top the first highlight to the splash of the people daily right there. And it goes to say the appointment committees report will be tabled in the house this afternoon ahead of the debate that is tomorrow. And currently there's intense lobbying as those in the red list seek to ensure to win the support of majority leaders. And then the president has also reportedly made it clear that he is not going to defend anyone he has done his part and they should do the rest. You can see right there on top of your screen. And why as a meal team once the four CS nominees rejected and the fate of Mithika linturi. That is Moses courier. I should you map and I know my loans are in the balance as members of violence start debate on their past actions and suitability. That's it to happen tomorrow. So it's another interesting story as well that you'll be taking a look at just briefly. They said the appointments committee chaired by National Assembly. That is Moses with Tangula reportedly divided over the nomination ahead of the debate and the voting on the names in the house this week. According to a tentative order, the committee's report will be tabled this afternoon ahead of its debate tomorrow. As such, the day when the members of parliament can either approve or reject the entire list altogether with amendments, of course. And this has also created room for intense lobbying as those in the red list will be seeking to ensure that they win or they are rejected. If the house approves the nominees, the acting clerk of the National Assembly, that is Sarah Kyoko, will inform the president of the decision and the presidential also appoint those who have been approved formally through a Kenyan Gazette notice. As you can see right there, we have a photo of that which says National Speaker Moses with Tangula makes a grand entry to parliament. Tomorrow is the D day when members of parliament will approve or reject the entire list with amendments. The Asmio members of parliament on the other side say it was understood but however have vowed to mobilize their colleagues to have Lynn Turi's name rejected when the house starts debate on the report tomorrow. And quote and quote, Asmio has a problem with Korea, that is Moses Korea, mythical in Turi and Juma because of the cases they have. But for Penaina Malonze, it was just a small issue with Okambani member, Okambani member of parliament. So they're trying to actually raise the red flags. I think it's a question that will also leave it back to you, back at home for you. I feel like the four CSS do not deserve the nominated spots. And if I told they don't, we would like to hear your feedback as well. If they do deserve or they don't, please tell us on our Facebook and Instagram and Twitter at Y254 channel. It's the social media and also we have the hashtag which is Y254. A Y in the morning, beg your pardon. Then another interesting story as well. I think it's on page number six about the Pakistan journalist who was murdered. That is Ashad Mohammed in another brown breaking story that is being, we are following it up right here. Not only just locally but also international media outlets as well. It's now a national conversation on who exactly killed Ashad Mohammed. Is it allegedly the special service unit? And also next to that page we have a story regarding Ambatouin as a development as well. So let me just take you through it. How wild media reported Sharif's death. Kenya trended on Twitter for the better part of yesterday that was on Monday. As a social media users questioned the killing of Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif. The trending topic centered on the reasons given by police for the shooting of the popular investigative journalist. And in a statement police spokesman Bruno Shio also claimed that Sharif had been fatally wounded by a police officer after the car that he was in dropped through a roadblock in Magadi, Kajado. His death met global headlines with most of the media outlets questioning the explanation and quote unquote Al Jazeera. I spoke in Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif was killed in Kenya. He was aged 49 years old. He was also he had fled in Pakistan in August after multiple cases were filed against him for criticizing the military and was shot dead in Kenya. Now, the Washington Post said Washington Post is also a newspaper, a national newspaper that sees a senior Pakistan journalist living in hiding in Kenya was shot and cured by police officer after the car he was in spread up instead of halting at a roadblock. The police said on Monday that they expressed regret over the incident saying it was a case of mistake and identity. The other side the BBC said an investigation had begun in Kenya after a well-known Pakistan journalist Ashad Sharif was shot dead on Sunday. An initial report said officers shot him while he was in a moving vehicle in a case of mistaken identity. And then that is the Hindu times because he is also of Indian-Pakistan descent. Ashad Sharif, a top Pakistani journalist hiding in Kenya since he was facing sedition charges was shot dead on Sunday night. He was reportedly a frequent critic of the Pakistani military establishment and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan who was ousted in parliament because of no confidence vote in April. So that's how the world media reported that. And down below that it's a probe launched onto the Pakistan journalist Killing. They're saying Ashad was a critic of Pakistan's military as well as a vocal supporter of ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan in his country. The 49-year-old had left Pakistan in August after complaining of harassment. And then he had previously been in the UK and Dubai before travelling to Kenya. It is not known exactly what he was doing in the East African country. And then journalist in the Pakistan city of Karachi had a street protest over his killing. And lastly, below that, this is Pakistan's Prime Minister Shezbaz Sharif. That is on Twitter. He was deeply saddened by the shocking news of Ashad's Sharif's tragic death. And then also on matters privacy, his wife went to Twitter and said that he wants netizens or social media users to actually give her and her family privacy by not tweeting the last photos of the deceased last moments so that they preserve the dignity of their family and not to tweet about the family members. So she asked for privacy. I think it was a tweet that also was trending on Twitter. So if you are on social media yesterday, definitely you got a glimpse of that. And then we also heard even Kenyan journalists like who is this? I've forgotten the name. General Annamo who actually claimed that he was working with him at some point on Twitter. And it was actually a tirade of tweets right there that were actually being talked about. It was a conversation starter yesterday. Another groundbreaking story that will be following up as the day progresses. And then the next story that is on page number seven. It talks about how two Indians and a taxi man met their death. Details have emerged showing how two missing Indians were abducted on Mombasa Road by members of the now disbanded special service unit. Never to be seen again. An affidavit filed in the court reveals that the two Indians and their taxi driver were intercepted on Mombasa Road near Oles Arena Hotel forced out of the taxi before being bundled into a Subaru vehicles bearing GK number plates by members of the disbanded elite squad before being escorted to the Abadir National Park. The affidavit as well was filed by internal affairs unit of the National Police Service yesterday. And the investigators also narrate the role played by each of the four police officers implicated in the forceful disappearance of the three persons. According to the investigators, the four officers were not acting alone but were allegedly taking instructions from other persons of interest who remain at large. Investigations have further revealed that the four abducted the two foreigners identified as Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan and Mohammed Zaid Sami Qidwai. And the taxi driver Nicodemus Monia before dumping them into the National Park of the destination on the night of July 22nd and 23rd. The two Indians were in the country for business and commercial purposes before the disappearance had hired the taxi operator to drive them around. It is alleged that the two had jetted into the country in July to be part of President Ruto's William campaign team. Now the affidavit also filed by Assistant Superintendent of Police Michael Kirui says Monia's taxi was forcefully stomped at the southern bypass interchange that is at around Olesereni by police officers who were arraigned in court yesterday and persons who were still at large. As you can see right there we have a photo. And the caption is for special service unit officers Joseph Kamau Mbogwa, John Mwangi Kamau, Francis Buendon Donye and Peter Mvega Chico. Those are the guilty police officers right there at the Kahawa locals when they were arraigned yesterday. So that's another groundbreaking story that we are taking at Lukant. And just to summarize it they say it's only the office of the DPP and the DCI and National Police Service that has allowed in law to file cases against police. And then I remember yesterday we also had a question on that one as well on whether the current regime has actually come in handy when it's that time to actually have some of these underground at large forces to be done away with because previously we have seen a lot of extra judicial killings that still continue to unravel even in relation to this current case. And we'll be keeping tabs on that story as it develops. Now let's move to the business page on page 16, Martyrs Business on the business hub that talks about household cutback on savings as inflation bites. I definitely this is regarding the cost of living in the country. You can see right there households cut back on savings as inflation bites. That means the economy still continues to take a nosedive and the cost of living continues to go high. And just a description of that they say the annual inflation rate accelerated for the seventh consecutive month to a 9.2% in September. This is last month and above market focus of 18.6% and the ceiling of the central bank's target range of 2.5% to 7.5% a hike and increase. And then households are now channeling nearly all the expenses to necessities like food, housing and energy. However, even those have also witnessed some form of the biggest hikes in prices at different points in the past one year. Just to and they're trying to actually give us a little bit of the of hacks right there. They're saying that if you want to survive right now you have to embrace recycling habits. This means that you know you'll be able to actually you know if if you if maybe you had food remains you have to actually you know warm them up. I think there's usually that story of Oogali like there's no need of dumping Oogali because anyways I don't know if you've ever experienced that like. I've personally I've seen someone who like ate Oogali the other night and then they used it for breakfast the next day just to survive because the economy is really bad. Okay, so you'll do anything to survive as well. That's another interesting story. So down below they're saying households are channeling a lot of expenses to ensure that they survive and expensive. The amount someone earns while they live and what they buy affects what they can comfortably afford. It also detects how they can balance their expenses to beat the odds. That's according to the business hub page 16 of the people daily and in regarding bank accounts or those people that have savings. A number also buy household goods in bulk to take advantage of discounts, especially offered by supermarkets while others have to cut down on journeys and reduce the quantity of meals. They take as a result of the declining in purchase power and even to serve. Now that also talking about a second kg, a second kilogram or two kilograms of maize flour is costing as high as up to 300 Kenya shillings with more inflationary pressures expected this month due to increase in the prices of electricity. Some Kenyans are considering cutting the expenses on perishable food items and electric appliances which require constant energy and preservation. Most consumers of alcoholic beverages say that they have since downgraded their favorite drinks due to the high cost of living. So if a story of drinks and maize it's not going to work anymore. Okay, now the last page or the last cover of the people daily on tomato sports. We have Kylian Bapi who is the highest paid sports person. He revealed he earns 75 billion Kenya shillings and that is according to his three years new deal at PSG that is Paris Saint-Germain. And his contract will see his afford who will earn over 75 billion Kenya shillings. Wow, what a huge amount of cash right there. And in three years according to the report that he's only 23 years old he signed a new deal with the French champions in the summer when he seemed to have been destined to live for Real Madrid in the shock of a U-turn that preceded his legal battles and a march of controversy. According to the Parisian via the get a French football news bumper will earn the money in gross salary which will make him the highest paid sports person ever. And just to just a little glimpse of his scores and his performance he has scored 164 goals in the 177 games. Beg your pardon that he has played that is for Paris Saint-Germain since joining where the £130.5 million euros from Monaco in 2018 netted up to 21 times in 39 appearances on a loan of that Paris in that Paris year and before the deal he made permanently. So 8.6 billion annual gross salary, 21.6 billion signing bonus payable in three times, 8.4 billion loyalty bonus that is up to 2023 next year and then with the 9.6 billion loyalty bonus in 2024 with up to 10.8 billion loyalty bonus in 2025. So that means if it's going to stay. But because I think one thing about this football club is that you know once you see you're not doing well in a football club and they're not paying you well or maybe they are undervaluing you and you're presented with a better offer, all you have to do is move. It happens even to professions, you know. So that's just a summary or a glimpse of what has been making head or what is still continuing to make headlines on the people daily newspapers and as you even wait for many other news developments to unfold. We'll be keeping tabs right here to bring you up to speed with each and every detail of each and every news development as Ethan falls on that note. We are going to take a short break. You can continue to interact with us on our Y254 channel, that's on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter as well at Y254 channel and personal at Brian Circle 101. The hashtag is Y in the morning.

Look, one of the advices, if you look at my personal finance and investing playlist, there's five things I listed that are the most important things that you can invest in. That should be your personal finance focus. One of them is health, network. One of them is your health, eat well, exercise, do all that jazz. The other one was your network, your family, your friends. The other one was acquire experiences, do different jobs, work in different places. I've had three, four different companies, incorporated companies that I work for. We started. I've done geophysics, I've been an ice cream man, I've done pizza delivery, I've worked construction. One of the companies we ran in the 1990s was a 900 number dating service. Just acquire experiences, comic book publishing, comic book collecting, I don't know, just experiences and interact with all kinds of different people in your life. Don't have one type of friend. Have friends from all walks of life. Have races, sexual preferences, different cultures, vegetarians and carnivores, drinkers and non-drinkers. Those who possibly might use chemicals and those who might not use chemicals.  Talk to them. One thing I used to, and I still do tell people, look, your best education is your mistakes in your life. It's the mistakes that define you, not what you do right. Just imagine how much you can learn if you not only learn from your mistakes but you learn from other people's mistakes. So when you start talking to people from all different walks of life, all different categories of economic standing and everything, like seriously, I really mean everything.  When you start talking with those people, during these conversations, once you spend time to get to know people, they start sharing what they have done right and what they have done wrong, what they are proud of and what they regret. Pay attention. Pay attention. Talking from other people's mistakes makes you learn a lot faster about life.

The final item of business today is a member's business debate on motion number 12526, in the name of John Scott, on Prestwick airport spaceport bid. This debate will be concluded without any questions being put, and I would be grateful if those members who wish to participate in the debate could press the request to speak buttons now. I call on John Scott to open the debate. Seven minutes are shown. May I begin by thanking colleagues from all parties for their support for my motion and for taking part in this debate today. Prestwick has since 1913 been at the forefront of pioneering flight when Moncton Meadows was first used for manned flight. In 1935, Hamilton and McIntyre created Scottish aviation at Prestwick, which is still the blueprint for the airport and the aerospace hub that surrounds Prestwick today. The 1950s and 1960s saw Prestwick pioneer transatlantic flight from the UK, and now today another Scottish and UK pioneering opportunity again exists at Prestwick airport just over 100 years after the first flight from Moncton Meadows. So what is the opportunity that the UK spaceport represents? No longer is the space the final frontier to borrow a phrase, but in our modern world it is the next frontier, and the development of the space industry is one that we must urgently grasp, and with both hands. Currently, the space, the UK space sector, has a turnover of £11.3 billion and employs 34,000 people. Mr Scott, could I start you for a moment? Could we have the back door closed? Please I'm afraid that there's noise drifting into the chamber. Many thanks. John Scott. Currently, the UK space sector has a turnover of £11.3 billion and employs 34,000 people. The target is to grow our UK space industry to a £40 billion turnover in the next 15 years and create 100,000 jobs in the process. The major barrier to this growth is the lack of a UK spaceport. So while America and Russia lead the way in this industry, we in the United Kingdom must create our own spaceport and do so soon to capture our share of the growing satellite launch and deployment market and position ourselves for space travel and space tourism in due course. So if we accept that we must develop a spaceport, the next question is where is it best suited to do so? I would suggest the location of choice in Scotland and indeed the United Kingdom is Prestwick Airport. Firstly, Prestwick Airport is already home to a diversified manufacturing aerospace industry and a maintenance and repair and overhaul hub. Over 3,000 jobs currently exist in our world class aerospace hub and its supply chain at Prestwick. Creating, building and maintaining pioneering and existing aircraft is part of our DNA at Prestwick and throughout Ayrshire. The twin pioneer and the jet stream 31 and 41 aircraft are perhaps the most iconic examples of that. Our local community has always welcomed innovation at our airport and in our aerospace industry and takes a particular pride in Prestwick's history and a keen and supportive interest in its future. Over 800 acres of land is available to and used by this already diversified airport with significant land available for future growth. First class road and rail links now exist, with motorway connections from Glasgow and Central Scotland now available to the front door of Prestwick Airport, as well as there now being direct rail links to the airport from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Prestwick already handles civil passengers, freight, UK and NATO military aircraft, as well as search and rescue from Gannett. In addition, Nats has one of its two UK centres less than a kilometre from the airport, employing over 700 dedicated professionals in the air traffic control industry. Prestwick is also ideally placed within the United Kingdom for high inclination polar launches with clear and uncluttered airspace all the way to the north pole. Of course. John Finnie. Thank you. I'm very grateful for the member accepting an intervention. Would the member accept that in that regard the last comment there about the airspace Prestwick isn't unique and indeed McRhanish would fit that criteria as well? John Scott. Yes, of course. I would accept that point. However, I also want to turn to other aspects that make Prestwick the location of choice. One of those is the weather conditions at Prestwick. Those again make Prestwick the location of choice in Scotland and indeed the United Kingdom, located as it is in the rain shadow of Arun. It will have crept into the consciousness of colleagues the launch delays at Cape Canaveral because of cloud cover over the last 40 years. However, Prestwick airport was located in its current position because of its lack of cloud cover, a fact that saved the lives of many American and British flyers during World War II. The unfortunate yet deliberately selected for geographical location is now also important to commercial space operations, with Prestwick having the least prevalence of cloud cover compared to compared to English and Welsh airports, according to available Met Office statistics. Prestwick's concrete runway is also of sufficient length to accommodate space flights, unlike the UK and Lanbury, both of which would require extensions to bring them up to a minimum standard. In the time available, those are some of the key reasons why Prestwick is not just the location of choice in Scotland but in the UK as a whole. What is needed now is for the Scottish Government to come to an early decision on which airport will be the preferred Scottish option and then throw its weight behind that choice. Make no mistake, the bids for Newquay and Cornwall and Lanbury and Wales to be the locations for spaceport are already being lobbied for extensively within the corridors of power at Westminster and indeed America, while our own bid team at Prestwick is only modusly resourced by South Ayrshire Council and Prestwick Airport itself. Prestwick could be described as a late entrant to this very competitive field, but with support its obvious attribute should make it a clear winner in the Scottish and UK bidding process. The strength and depth of the Prestwick bid team should also be noted, with widespread support coming from the aerospace sector, which is keen to develop and build on its internationally recognised skillset. Support has also been forthcoming from South Ayrshire Council, the University of the West of Scotland, Strathclyde University, the Ayrshire College and the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce, but perhaps most importantly of all is the support of the local people of Prestwick Air and Trun for this pioneering project. Minister, your choice is yours and I urge you and the Scottish Government to select Prestwick Airport as Scotland's choice for spaceport and then support Prestwick Airport as the location of choice for spaceport in the United Kingdom. Many thanks. We now turn to the open debate. Speeches of around four minutes or so please. Adam Ingram to be followed by Margaret McGregor. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. Firstly, can I congratulate John Scott on securing this evening's debate on a subject that both of us are happy to work together to promote? For the chamber's benefit, while the airport falls within John's constituency, the aerospace park lies within mine. In any case, the whole of Ayrshire is united in its desire to see the aerospace industry and the airport thrive and prosper after some difficult trading years post the 2008 crash. Forecasts for the sector as a whole over the next 15 years are extremely good, with the civil aerospace market set to double in size. Currently, the UK aerospace sector accounts for 17 per cent of global market share, second only to the USA. Prestwick is the largest cluster in Scotland, accounting for over 50 per cent of the Scottish aerospace workforce, contributing some £400 million to the local economy and supporting 3,200 jobs. The question is how to secure the future of Prestwick and take advantage of this growth. For me, winning the bid to become the UK's first operational spaceport will go a long way to achieving that objective. The UK Government is seeking to establish such a facility by 2018. It will become a launch station for next-generation satellites and space instruments using the modern generation of horizontal take-off space launch vehicles and a due course on operating base for manned flights using reusable spacecraft. Prestwick just has to be the preferred bidder from a Scottish perspective. There is an experience high-tech aerospace workforce in substantial aviation and engineering companies on-site. The Scottish Government has awarded the Aerospace Park Enterprise area status. Our universities in the west of Scotland are at the forefront of space and engineering research and technology. We have coupled that with the established physical infrastructure, including a three-kilometre runway, safe, over-water flight paths, clear airspace, an enviable weather record and well-developed transport connections to the rest of Scotland, and the case becomes incontrovertible. Surely it is a no-brainer that Prestwick maximises the value that can come to Scotland from space sector growth. That does not mean that other potential Scottish locations should be left out in the cold. Prestwick could operate Macrihanish as a diversionary location and for special test operations. Highlands and islands locations should be developed for ground station networks. A bid that incorporates those features would have every chance of success. Scotland would clearly be best placed for UK satellite launch and polar orbit deployments and ground stations for satellite data capture. I urge the minister to throw the Scottish Government's weight behind such a bid. I congratulate John Scott on securing this debate on Prestwick Airport's space boat bid. I must also apologise to the chamber in advance as I will have to leave before the end of the debate because I have another engagement. On February 26, Prestwick Airport was accepted as one of the preferred bidders for the UK space boat. The other airports that made the short list were Campbelltown and Stornoway, Newquay in Cornwall and Landware in Wales. Since then, I am pleased to say that the Prestwick team has been very busy in their endeavours to secure the bid for the only UK space boat. Prestwick is delighted to have commissioned RS and H, the premier US designer in the space boat industry, to prepare a logically and technically strong bid that meets the US licensing framework, and they feel that those consultants will be of great advantage and assistance to them. The Prestwick team are the only UK contenders to attend the US space foundation event recently, and that was hugely beneficial, informative and useful in making contacts within the space boat industry and helpful in their preparation of the bid. Prestwick Airport is critical to the North Ayrshire economy and not just North Ayrshire, of course, east and south as well. If it was chosen to be the UK space boat, it would be a huge game changer not only for Ayrshire but for all of Scotland. If it was accepted, Prestwick could be used as the take-off point for space tourism under proposals from Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic and XCOR space expeditions. However, turning Prestwick into the UK's first space sport would not just mean space tourism for the super rich, it would allow Ayrshire to capitalise on and play a key role in satellite launching and manufacturing, as well as in the space science sector, which is currently earning around £11.3 billion in revenues, a figure that grew by 7.2 per cent between 2011 and 2013, despite the recession. At this stage, the UK has no satellite launch facilities of its own, so that would be the first of its kind, opening up Prestwick to an untapped wealth of future potential. It would have a huge impact on the Scottish economy through promotion of skilled jobs, training facilities, opportunities for high-tech suppliers, services and the boost for tourism. Prestwick Airport is hands down the best site in the UK. It is well connected by both road and rail. Further more, if the Glasgow Crossrail was pursued, the airport would be connected by rail to the whole of Scotland, which no other Scottish airport would have. It also has excellent weather reliability, as we have heard already, and is the main diversion site if other airports have to be closed due to bad weather. Finally, the site offers an attractive long-main runway and a varied and established business environment and an engineering sector through the international aerospace park and enterprise zone, which would be easy to expand and build upon if the spaceport bed was accepted. To conclude, Presiding Officer, now that Prestwick is down to the final five, it appears to be in a strong position to become the site of the UK spaceport. Prestwick not only meets the criteria but surpasses it. It has the skills, the space, the transport links and, bizarrely, for Ayrshire, the good weather. I think that the best way forward is for there to be one bed from Scotland so that it is not competing against each other. I hope that airports can come to an agreement whereby a joint Scottish bed would be mutually beneficial to all involved and could present a combined offer with a range of strengths and benefits. I am eager to see this approach as a solution and hope that this can be developed into a winning bed. I will be campaigning vigorously from now until the announcement later this year to ensure that the first spaceport, due by 2018, is a Scottish one, based at Prestwick, because it has all the attributes that are required and I hope that the Scottish Government will back the bed. I am delighted that John Scott has brought forward this debate today. For me, on this issue, I have had a love affair with Prestwick since I was a European business manager with Digital and Air, where we flew regularly to sister companies—in fact, very regularly—by Bandarante to Shannon and by Lear to Geneva. It is a decline and therefore was a surprise when I returned 25 years later to Scotland and to Ayrshire. Any suggestion that it might close was anathema to me and I know to many others. I do not diminish the notion and the passion that accompanies the desire of other Scottish airports to become the UK's permanent spaceport. However, the Department of Transport consultation and the resultant questions on supporting commercial space plane operations in the UK leads and leaving parochialism aside leads to only one outcome. On that basis, as I said in a press release at the time of the DFT announcement, Prestwick, being one of the sites in the shortlist, would benefit from ultimate selection, but so would the UK Space Agency in general. Prestwick would, I believe, secure at least the expected 10 per cent of the global space economy, bringing a boost not just to Ayrshire and Scotland but to industry and economic growth and research and development but to the wider UK. The space economy already contributes, as John Scott said, £11.3 billion to the UK economy, supporting nearly 35,000 jobs. By 2018, we can see immense growth in deployment of, for example, variable-sized satellites via new launcher technology and, of course, trans-global suborbital flights. It would not be the first time that Prestwick has been the base associated with the saying that man has gone where no man has gone before. Founded by the Marcus of Clydesdale and DF Macintosh, it was the first to fly over Everest, for example, in 1933. We can, and we will wax lyrical about Prestwick. Two major concrete soft runways of 3,000m and 2,000m in length, a weather record, a microclimate singing to none where the fawn effect creates that warm microclimate with little rain and largely fog-free, not something available elsewhere in Scotland. Extensive maintenance repair operation capabilities, an aerospace campus at the University of West Scotland and in the colleges. Aerospace skills and passion in West Scotland has the largest community of space industry employees outside London and space programmes at Glasgow, Strathclyde and Dundee universities. All those are more such as the National Air Traffic Control Centre at Prestwick, but, above all, it is a resilience airport with high skills and military experience and is the UK's primary strategic and diversion airfield. I referred previously to the Department of Transport consultation regarding the feasibility of locations with regard to the spaceport. Let me just draw on two of the 11 questions. The question 2, which asked the locations, should still be active but at a low level of aircraft and AA movements, but should have an existing and appropriate ground infrastructure facilities and service provision. It should have a view that was expressed that the combination of several suborbital operations a day with modern aircraft traffic, commercial or freight traffic, military traffic and general aviation could, in fact, be well co-ordinated. In question 8, the Government responds that the safety of the uninvolved general public is paramount and that the CAA's strong recommendation for a coastal location for space plane operations is valid. Just two questions where Prestwick fulfills those criteria. For those and many other reasons, without, in any way, denigrating other propositions, I believe and support the view that Prestwick and those who are driving this, Stuart McIntan and his team, are doing a great job. Prestwick is it. For me, the love affair continues as does the belief and the dream that Prestwick's positive future is not just in the stars, but in getting there. I congratulate John Scott on securing this debate and I agree that Scotland should be the location of choice for the spaceport. I am not here to reign on Prestwick's parade or not completely, but I supported the purchase of Prestwick by the Scottish Government when I was a member of the Cabinet. Indeed, when I was growing up in Ayrshire in the 1960s in Trun, I used to go plane spotting at Prestwick Airport. I remember seeing the Danier Dakotas to the Isle of Man, a regular service that was operating where you watched the passengers troop on and then you realised that one of them must be the stewardess because she changed her hat just before she got into the plane. However, I do want to say that this debate would not be complete without seriously considering the merits of Macrohanich. Indeed, I want to say why I believe that Macrohanich and Campbellton are the places that should be boldly going into this race and should be ready to serve the final frontier. The criteria for this choice are very interesting indeed. There should be a minimum length of the runway of 3,000 metres. Macrohanich, of course, has a runway just over 3,000 metres, unfortunately Prestwick does not. Indeed, the parallel taxiway at Macrohanich is almost the same length as Prestwick's runway. There should be, of course, a coastal area. It is interesting to note that Campbellton has coast on three sides, not just on one side, and that would be an important criteria. In terms of population density, Kentar's population density is 0.13 persons compared to the Scottish average of 0.65. Campbellton is also served by a deep water port with three piers, one of which is a NATO pier. Indeed, in those modern port facilities there is also a rural facility, which is used to taking very large cargos. A point that has just been raised by Mr Brody is that there should be a limited amount of aviation traffic. I have to say regrettably that the aviation traffic at Campbellton is even more limited than the present aviation traffic at Prestwick, consisting that it does have two aircraft services a day. However, there is also a very substantial advantage that, of course, I am happy to give way to Mr McGregor. I thank the member for taking intervention. Would he also agree with me that Macrohanich is the only UK airport that has twice been approved for spaceflight? How very prescient, Mr McGregor, I was just coming to that point, which does feature in the Campbellton airport briefing. However, it has been approved twice for spaceflight, bunds by NASA and once by Virgin Galactic. It has an advantage over all the other contenders. It is also an important issue for the Scottish Government in terms of its enthusiasm for community ownership. It is a community-owned facility. It has 1,000 acres of opportunity. It has 50 companies already operating on the site, but there is no shortage of space. It has three jet fuel storage facilities and is capable of taking a very substantial fuel. If the fuel for these spaceflights were to be hydrogen, that could be produced from the renewable energy plants that exist on the Kin Tire peninsula. In every instance and criteria, there is an argument to be made for Campbellton that is every bit as good as the argument for a press week. I do not want to see this as one place against the other, although that is where we have come down to. I think that Mr Ingram's view that there might be a possibility of collaboration is a good one, and I would like to see that take place. However, the people of Campbellton are asking for and, indeed, demand that there should be a level playing field when the Scottish location is considered. In considering this matter, I have to say that it is fairly obvious that Campbellton has the longest and most level playing field of any of the Scottish contenders, and I do hope that the Government will continue to take it very seriously. John Scott? Would Mr Russell agree with me that notwithstanding his reasonable comments about McCree-Hannish, the two particularly distinguishing features that press week has as its attributes are the 3,000 people in the maintenance and repair and overhaul hub around the airport, as well as the accessibility, the motorway and the rail accessibility, as well as the port accessibility, which I would like to see trump McCree-Hannish. I think that there are good points to make, but I think that in terms of accessibility, Campbellton is accessible and could be even more accessible. Indeed, in terms of the jobs, I think that the potential for creating new jobs in the spaceport is very great. That is not simply about sustaining jobs. Indeed, we do not know how many of those jobs could be sustained. There are many different attributes that are required for the space industries that do not exist in the aviation industries, but the potential for creating new jobs on the community-owned site is substantial indeed. I do hope that the minister will look kindly upon what his friendly rivalry is and might have the potential for co-operation, but Campbellton deserves to be considered. The time is coming for Cape Campbellton. Many thanks. I now invite Dennis Mackay to respond to the debate. A challenge has been laid out to me today to make a choice between the two remaining bids in Scotland. I will resist, because the taste of a debate between John Scott and Michael Russell just shows that the strengths that the two remaining sites in Scotland have. Of course, it will not be the choice of the Scottish Government. That matter is reserved to the Westminster Government. Of course, extra terrestrial matters were reserved to the UK Government. No matter how good an election result the SNP might get on 7 May, I am still not sure that this decision will transfer to the Scottish Government. We will back both bids and be supportive of both locations. Between John Scott and Michael Russell was the middle way of Adam Ingram and Chick Brody, and Margaret MacDougall touched upon the strength of the press-wick bid. John Finnie's intervention was to point out the strength of the Campbelltown-Macrahanish location. I will resist backing one over the other. Part of the reason for that is that I am not sure that it would add any extra value, because the Scottish Government is clear that we want the spaceport to be located in Scotland, and we will do what we can to secure that, recognising the strengths and the opportunities of both bids. In a sense, it feels somewhat futuristic the debate that we are having, but the reality, as John Scott and others have pointed out, is that the economic benefits are real and in many ways are already here in Scotland's contribution to the growing sector and the industry itself. The latest figures show that Scotland is just under 5 per cent of the total turnover in the UK space sector, and 16 per cent of the jobs within the sector. There are ambitious targets for Scotland to seize 1 per cent of the global space sector market by 2030. 1 per cent does not sound like much, but in economic value that is £4 billion per year to the Scottish economy, so a prize is absolutely worth pursuing, and the spaceport has the potential to generate a step change within the industry, stimulating further growth. That could be around manufacturing, research, development, design and tourism, and a sense of location wherever is selected. We have been supportive of the bids, but we will be even more supportive when the timescales are made clearer by the UK Government. The final criteria is established another reason not to prematurely rule out one bid over the other, in case the final criteria is such that we may eject a substantial and legitimate bid from Scotland. Recognising the economic benefit that would bring the opportunity to the sense of location, I think that both have strong bids. That said, Presswick Airport has made considerable progress. It has key local and national partners involved, and Scottish Enterprise will continue to support both. Members have asked in the past about the other bids, and it has been for other agencies to pursue those bids, and it is a matter for them to take forward. HIAL has made its position clear, and I think that the MOD by its silence or reluctance has stated its position on their locations as well. In terms of the technical requirements, there will be clear technical requirements that will have to be fulfilled for any bid to be successful, but I think that there is a very strong case around the added value that any bid, any location, could bring in terms of the space industry as well. That will be significant for Scotland and in a UK context and in a European context for the reasons that John Scott has raised in a congratulatum once again for securing this debate. It will focus on the launch of satellites, tourism, destination and all the other benefits that it will bring. The member's debate is about presswick, and John Scott's once again has covered the issues around the infrastructure that is at the location, the history, the potential that is presented. Even the weather is used uniquely as an asset, as a positive in a Scottish context. Scotland is the only country in the world where we can have four seasons in one day, but at the location in presswick it is a clear advantage for the reasons that are being given. We will back both bids as they progress forward. As all becomes clearer through the UK Government, we will support through individual support and, hopefully through collaboration, as a number of members have raised. The choice for a spaceport in the UK should be in Scotland so that we can maximise the benefits of that and take advantage of the immense potential that our people and our destinations can offer. In that sense, we wholeheartedly support both bids and look forward to working enthusiastically with the partners to secure the spaceport for Scotland. That concludes John Scott's Members' debate on presswick airport spaceport bid.
