Exam Review

Good morning. World Tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?

Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the USA. Could you send me a brochure?

Of course. Could I have your name please?

Andrea Brown.

Thank you. And your address?

24. Ardleigh Road.

Can you spell that?

A-R-D-L-E-l-G-H Road.

Thanks. And can I have your phone number?

Is a mobile alright?

It's 07786643091.

Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about World Tours? From a friend? Or did you see an advert somewhere?

No. I read about you in the newspaper .

OK, I'll get the brochures in the post to you but can I give you some information over the phone. What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

I’m interested in going to California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want to hire a car.

OK. We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California. The first one begins in Los Angeles and there's plenty of time to visit some of the theme parks there.

That’s something on my children’s list so I'd want to include that.

Good. Then you drive to San Francisco. From San Francisco you can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.

I don't like the idea of staying in a tent . It'd be too hot.

Right. And the tour ends in Las Vegas.

The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco. Then you drive south to Cambria.

Someone told me there’s a really nice castle near Cambria. Will we go near that?

Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.

Good. I'd like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?

No, it continues to Santa Monica where most people like to stop and do some shopping.

We have enough of that at home so that doesn’t interest us.

Well you could go straight on to San Diego.

That's good for beaches isn’t it?

That’s right, that's a good place to relax and your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.

I don’t think so. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming.

So how many days are the trips and how much do they cost?

The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California which lasts twelve days and covers 2.020 kilometres. The shortest journey is 206 km and the longest is 632 kilometres. The cost is £525 per person.

That includes accommodation, car rental and a flight but no meals.

And the other trip?

That lasts nine days but you spend only three days on the road. You cover about 980 kilometres altogether.

So is that cheaper then?

Yes, it's almost a hundred pounds cheaper. It’s £ 429 per person, which is a good deal.

So that covers accommodation and car hire. What about flights?

They aren’t included. But these hotels offer dinner in the price.

Well, thank you very much. I'll be in touch when I’ve had a chance to look at the brochure.

I’m pleased to help. Goodbye.

#2 Joining the leisure club Transcript

The Part 2 audio transcript of Joining the leisure club in Cambridge 10 Listening Test 1 is as follows:

On behalf of LP Clubs, I’d like to welcome you all here today. My name’s Sandy Fisher and I’m one of the fitness managers here. Before we start our tour of the club I’ll just run through some basic information about the facilities we have here, including recent improvements, and explain the types of membership available.

Our greatest asset is probably our swimming pool which at 25 metres isn’t Olympic-sized, but now we’ve expanded it to eight lanes, it’s much wider (Q11&Q12) . This means there are rarely more than a couple of people at a time in each lane. Unfortunately, there isn’t space for an outdoor pool here but the glass roof on the swimming pool is partly retractable, which means you can enjoy something of the open-air experience on warmer days.

Our recently refurbished fitness suite (Q11&Q12) has all the latest exercise equipment including ten new running machines, and a wide range of weight-training machines. Each member is given full training in how to operate the equipment and there is always a trainer on duty to offer help and advice. Although we do have adult-only times after 6 and at certain times at weekends, children are well catered for. Older children continue to benefit from a wide range of tuition; anything from trampolining to yoga.

One thing all our members appreciate about us is that we take very good care of them. This starts on day one with your personal assessment. You are asked to fill in a questionnaire giving details of any health problems (Q13) . One of our personal trainers will then go through this with you.

The trainer will then take you through the safety rules (Q14) for using the equipment in the fitness suite. During your next exercise session a personal trainer will work with you to make sure you understand these. It’s very important to do this because we really do want to avoid having any sports injuries. There’s a lot more to looking after yourself than simply lifting weights!

At the end of the personal assessment, the trainer will draw up a plan, outlining what you should try to achieve within a six-week period (Q15) . This will then be reviewed at the end of the six weeks.

Now, I’ll just quickly run through the types of membership we have available. All members must pay a joining fee of £90 (Q16) in addition to the rates for the monthly membership fees. Gold membership entitles you to free entry at all LP Clubs (Q17) . There are now LP clubs in all major cities and towns so if you travel a lot will be a great advantage. Individual gold membership costs £50 a month and joint membership for you and your partner will cost £75.

Premier membership is for professional people whose work commitments make it difficult for them to use the club during the day and so LP gives booking preferences to Premier members at peak times (Q18) . This means you will find it easier to book the sessions at times that suit you. Reciprocal arrangements with other LP Clubs are available to Premier members. Premier membership is for individuals only, but you will be sent passes for guests every month (Q19) . The monthly fee is £65.

You don’t have to have any special clothes or equipment when you visit the club. We provide robes and hairdryers in the changing rooms, but it’s very important to remember your photo card (Q20) because you won’t be able to get in without it.

For people who aren’t working during the day then …

#3 Global Design Competition Transcript

The Part 3 audio transcript of Global Design Competition in Cambridge 10 Listening Test 1 is as follows:

JOHN: Erm … hello Professor, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My tutor said you might be able to help me with it.

PROFESSOR: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. Come in and tell me about it. What sort of competition is it?

JOHN: Well, it’s an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic kitchen appliance . (Q21)

PROFESSOR: I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have to save energy for example?

JOHN: Actually that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before.

PROFESSOR: I see, that sounds tricky. And what kitchen appliance have you chosen?

JOHN: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost identical to each other. I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks different . (Q22)

PROFESSOR: That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool’; why is that?

JOHN: Basically because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look down into it.

PROFESSOR: And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration?

JOHN: Actually it does have a function. Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone . (Q23)

PROFESSOR: So it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.

JOHN: That’s right.

PROFESSOR: It’s a really nice design, but what makes it innovative?

JOHN: Well, I decided to make a dishwasher that uses carbon dioxide.

PROFESSOR: In place of water and detergent? How will you manage that?

JOHN: The idea is to pressurize the carbon dioxide so that it becomes a liquid. The fluid is then released into the dishwasher where it cleans the dishes all by itself.

PROFESSOR: Sounds like a brilliant idea! Your system will totally do away with the need for strong detergents. So what happens once the dishes are clean?

JOHN: Well, to allow them to dry, the liquid carbon dioxide and the waste materials all go to an area called the holding chamber. That’s where the liquid is depressurised and so it reverts to a gas (Q24) . Then the oil and grease are separated out and sent to the waste system.

PROFESSOR: It sounds like you’ve thought it all out very thoroughly. So, what happens to the carbon dioxide once the process is complete? Not wasted I hope.

JOHN: Actually, that’s where the real savings are made. The carbon dioxide is sent back to the cylinder and can be used again and again . (Q25)

PROFESSOR: What a terrific idea. Do you think it will ever be built?

JOHN: Probably not, but that’s OK.

PROFESSOR: Well, I’m sure a lot of positive things will come out of your design.

——————————-

PROFESSOR: Now, you seem to have thought about everything so what exactly did you need me to help you with?

JOHN: Well, my design has made it to the final stage of the competition and, in a few months’ time. I have to give a presentation, and that’s the part I was hoping you could help me with . (Q26)

PROFESSOR: Right, well that should be easy enough. What have you managed to do so far?

JOHN: Well, I’ve got detailed drawings to show how it will work and I’ve also written a 500-word paper on it.

PROFESSOR: I see. Well, if you want to stand a good chance of winning you really need a model of the machine . (Q27)

JOHN: Yes, I thought I might but I’m having a few problems.

PROFESSOR: What is the main difficulty so far? Let me guess – is it the materials?

JOHN: Yes. I want it to look professional but everything that’s top quality is also very expensive . (Q28)

PROFESSOR: Look, projects like this are very important to us. They really help lift our profile. So why don’t you talk to the university about a grant? (Q29) I can help you fill out the application forms if you like.

JOHN: That would be a great.

PROFESSOR: You’d better show me this paper you’ve written as well. For a global competition such as this you need to make sure the technical details you’ve given are accurate and thorough . (Q30)

JOHN: That would be a great help.

PROFESSOR: Is there anything else I can do?

JOHN: Well, I’m really …

#4 The Spirit Bear Transcript

The Part 4 audio transcript of The Spirit Bear in Cambridge 10 Listening Test 1 is as follows:

Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is actually born with a white coat, which is the result of a special gene that surfaces in a few (Q31) .

Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’. And according to the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special power (Q32) . Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them – so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area . (Q33)

Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear’s main food source. In return, the bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest. As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.

Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands (Q35) . There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment – in other words, their ecosystem.

The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit on fishing at the moment . (Q37)

all these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low . (Q38)

And so, what’s the situation going forward? Community organizations, environmental groups and the British Columbia government are now working together on the problem. The government is now requiring logging companies to adopt a better logging method (Q39) , which is a positive step. However, these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future.

Other steps also need to be taken. While it is important to maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion (Q40) . The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes …

The white bear’s habitat is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old- growth rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways. For example, the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams [34] . Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear’s main food source. In return, the bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest. As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.

Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands [35] . There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment – in other words, their ecosystem.

The greatest threat to the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees. In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds [36] , and many hibernation sites have also been lost . The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit on fishing [37] at the moment.

All these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low [38] .

And so, what’s the situation going forward? Community organisations, environmental groups and the British Columbia government are now working together on the problem.

The government is now requiring logging companies to adopt a better logging method [39] , which is a positive step. However, these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future.

Other steps also need to be taken. While it is important to maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion [40] . The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes…

We experienced more of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons with this tour, than we would have on our own. We enjoyed meeting new people, seeing all the sights, and not having to worry about driving and directions. Be prepared to do a lot of walking/hiking - but it is worth it!

Had a wonderful time - a lot of hiking, seeing the sites in Alaska and viewing the Northern Lights.

"Fabulous! I just returned from Bindlestiff's Grand Canyon & more 3 day tour. It was Fabulous! It provided a well-planned itinerary of fascinating places (Zion National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon (optional & a must!), Monument Valley & the Grand Canyon. We were a perfect size group of twelve international travelers in a comfy van plus our delightful Tour Guide, Jade. We had enough time to immerse ourselves in each location and enjoy each experience. When on the road, Jade played upbeat themed music, weaved interested facts into a story and allowed quiet snooze time; plus the rest stops were well-spaced. On the first day we actually were in 3 states!!! Jade's yummy restaurant selections served the needs of each of the travelers' dietary requirements and the overnight accommodations were clean, comfortable & provided a nourishing breakfast. A special shout-out to Jade for her ability to ""herd cats"" while being attentive to each traveler's personal needs. She engaged with each of us in conversation and was delightful with a good sense of humor. A warm Thank You to Jade and Bindlestiff Tours!!!

Self drive tours in the USA

Jamie : Good morning. World tours. My name is Jamie. How can I help you?

Andrea Brown : Good morning. I want some information on self-drive tours in the US A. Could you send me a brochure?

Jamie : Of course. Could I have your name, please?

Andrea Brown : Andrea Brown.

Jamie : Thank you. And your address?

Andrea Brown : 24 Q1 Ardleigh Road.

Jamie : Can you spell that

Andrea Brown : A-R-D-L-E-I-G-H Road postcode BH520P.

Jamie : Thanks. And can I have your phone number?

Andrea Brown : Is a mobile. All right, fine. It’s 07786643091.

Jamie : Thank you. And can I ask you where you heard about world tours from a friend, or did you see an advert somewhere?

Andrea Brown : No. I read about you in the Q2 newspaper.

Jamie : Okay, I’ll get the bridges in the post to you, but can I give you some information over the phone? What kinds of things do you want to do on your holiday?

Andrea Brown : I’m interested in going to California with my family. I’ve got two children and we want to hire a car.

Jamie : Okay, We have a couple of self-drive tours there visiting different places of interest in California. The first one begins in Los Angeles, and there’s plenty of time to visit some of the Q3 theme parks there.

Andrea Brown : That’s something on my children’s list, so I’d want to include that.

Jamie : Good. Then you drive to San Francisco from San Francisco. You can drive to Yosemite Park where you spend a couple of nights. You can choose to stay in a lodge or on the campsite.

Andrea Brown : I don’t like the idea of staying in a Q4 tent. It would be too hot

Jamie : right on the tor-ins in Las Vegas. Okay. The other trip we can arrange is slightly different. It starts in San Francisco, then you drive south to Cambodia.

Andrea Brown : Someone told me there’s a really nice Q5 castle near Cambodia. Will we go now that

Jamie : Hearst Castle is on that road so you could stop there.

Andrea Brown : Good. I’d like to do that. Does this trip also go into the desert?

Jamie : No. It continues to Santa Monica, where most people like to stop and do some shopping.

Andrea Brown : We have enough of that at home, so that doesn’t interest us.

Jamie : Okay, well, you could go straight on to San Diego.

Andrea Brown : That’s good for Q6 beaches, isn’t it?

Jamie : That’s right. That’s a good place to relax. And your children might like to visit the zoo before flying home.

Andrea Brown : Now, I don’t think so. We want some time for sunbathing and swimming So how many days are the trips on DH? How much do they cost?

Jamie : The first one I told you about is a self-drive tour through California, which last twelve days and covers Q7 2020 kilometres. The shortest journey is 206 kilometres on. The longest is 632 kilometres. The cost is 525 pounds per person. That includes accommodation, and car rental on a Q8 flight but no meals.

Andrea Brown : Okay. And the other trip

Jamie : that lasts nine days. But you spend only three days on the road. You cover about nine hundred eighty kilometres altogether.

Andrea Brown : So is that cheaper then?

Jamie : Yes, it’s almost one hundred pounds cheaper. It’s Q9 429 pounds per person, which is a good deal.

Elena Dudashvili (SEO, founder)

Hi! My friends call me Aljona, and I want us to become friends!

What is travel for me? It is my way of life, my passion. Everyone in my family travels, even my small children got used to different kinds of journeys since birth. I got my first experience working with foreign tourists when I was still at school, my father organized speleo-expeditions for foreign speleological clubs then. 20 years ago, I took the helm of the Asia Mountains travel company, which is localized in Kyrgyzstan and conducts Adventure tours throughout Central Asia. I manage the company to this day. I like to implement complex projects. Overland expeditions has always been among top destinations for me, but since 2005, this direction has become favorite one for me. Taking a part in overland tours, I traveled from Murmansk to Vladivostok, from Western Tibet to Eastern Tibet; China, Australia, Georgia, Mongolia, and Iceland- my favorite country from this list. I invest my traveling experience in Drive to Russia. Russia is huge and my colleagues and like-minded people have something to show you!

Andrey Tsyganov (Co-founder, Technical Director)

Let’s drive together!

I like life being in its motion, I like being a part of interesting and new projects. For many years I have been designing overland expeditions, developing routes, and exploring new directions. I like everything new and complex. So, driving a car, I get to know the world and my native Russia. My favorite overland projects are the unique expedition to Tibet, the TRANS-Asian expedition on Amorok "The way of the Wolf", the Expedition to Chukotka " Discovering Russia " and legendary "Expedition Trophy" race from Murmansk to Vladivostok. Yakutia, the Kola Peninsula, and the BAM are also among my favorites in this list.

The Drive to Russia project became a logical continuation of my love for road trips. I like to prepare cars for travel and develop new routes. Let's come up with something interesting together.

Pavel Pitchugin (Key Account Manager)

Hi. I was born in Russia, Moscow. Getting used to the noise, the lights and the whole buzz of the big city life, I was fascinated by the nature that has retained its charm and absolutely pristine wilderness. . When you’re travelling: you can do anything, you can go anywhere and I am so willing to try new stuff and push my own boundaries because I am in a new place. Having worked and travelled many places from Norway to Hong Kong, I am now taking care of Drive to Russia’s key partners.

I became a die-hard promoter of adventure and leisure tours in Russia. Exploring regions from the Kola Peninsula in the Arctic to the warm Black Sea, I am ever eager to share the most exquisite corners with the guests. I like to be in touch and negotiate with them, delve into their idea and create the reality that makes their dream come true.

Traveling is extremely eye-opening. I love to meet people, coming to us, work with them and learn about their traditions and life style and even making friends with them. It might give you a new perspective on life and make you value the life you have.

Arina Gubaeva (Chief Operating Manager)

Hello. I got the ‘travel bug’ very early on. I blame my constant itchy feet on my parents, especially my father, who took me to my first trip in Kyrgyzstan for the school holidays during my teens. My Dad was a founder of a travel company so it was a great opportunity for us kids to experience new places. And it was amazing. And what a surprise for me it was when I was invited to my dream job- Chief Operating Manager. I have been involved with Drive to Russia since Day one and my role has evolved every year.

I’m still going and plan on visiting many beautiful places and gaining many more experiences in the future. And, you know what? You, participants of our tours and partners are the first to expend my horizons. Thanks to You, I learn new cultures, new cuisines, and this empowers my opportunities and improves my knowledge even more... And the experience I have accumulated will come back to You during our tours.

Vasily Berezhnoi (Guide, photographer)

Do you know why I love travelling as a guide? Because a shared experience will bring you closer together with your team. It doesn’t matter if you are travelling with your close family or a group of friends- travel will deepen your connection. It is also a great way to build new relationships, doesn’t matter if they are fellow travellers or locals. One more amazing thing is that you have to let go of your own way of living and adapt to the lifestyle of the destination.

Adventure is the credo of my life. While at school, I started climbing and mountaineering, and later it turned into my way of life, my profession and my passion.

During the trips I like to combine many different things , for example, I am pro like to take photos, and do it quite good, which means you will always have awesome memories in the form of professional photos. And I am fond of discovering more and more information about Russia and CIS and then share it with the guests.

Snap findings from a More in Common poll of more than 1,000 viewers of last night's BBC debate suggest Nigel Farage came out on top.

According to the poll results , the audience is most likely to think Reform UK's leader won, with 25% picking him.

Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner comes in second with 19%.

Just 7% thought Tory Penny Mordaunt won, but 32% believe she'd be a better prime minister than Rishi Sunak - with 12% picking him.

Full Results

Nigel Farage - 25%
Angela Rayner - 19%
None of the above - 14%
Carla Denyer - 11%
Stephen Flynn - 10%
Penny Mordaunt - 7%
Daisy Cooper - 5%
Rhun ap Iowerth - 2%
Don’t know - 8%

Almost half (47%) of 2019 Tory voters watching the debate thought that Mr Farage won the debate, while Ms Rayner leads among 2019 Labour and Lib Dem voters who tuned in.

The poll also shows viewers are most likely to think the SNP's Stephen Flynn (net +31), the Green Party's Carla Denyer (net +31) and the Lib Dem's Daisy Cooper (+30) did well in the debate.

Reform's original candidate for Clacton will stand as an independent against Nigel Farage in the upcoming general election.

Anthony Mack quit Reform after he was replaced by Mr Farage earlier this week to vie for the seat in Essex.

But that hasn't stopped him from trying to win there.

Mr Mack is expected to hold a press conference later today.

Olympic athletes, top musicians and an ex-soap actor are among those standing to become members of parliament at the general election.

The deadline for candidates to submit their nominations passed earlier today.

Notable names on the list include:

Blur drummer Dave Rowntree, Labour, Mid Sussex
Double Olympic gold medal rower James Cracknell, Conservative, Colchester
Rock star Tom Gray from the band Gomez, Labour, Brighton Pavilion
Former Coronation Street actor Marc Anwar, independent, Bury North
Gogglebox's Josh Tapper, Labour, Hertfordshire
Olympian Marc Jenkins, Conservative, Gower

Count Binface has announced he will stand against Rishi Sunak in his Richmond and Northallerton constituency.

Speaking on his podcast, Trash Talk, Binface said it would be like "Fury vs Usyk times a billion" in the July 4 election.

"That's right, I am here right now in Richmond and Northallerton and I can announce that I will be taking on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in electoral combat on July 4.

"You shirked D-Day Rishi, you can't miss the B-Day.

"That's right. Binface vs Sunak is going to be Fury vs Usyk times a billion. Bring it on."

Binface recently came 11th in the London Mayoral Elections, where he earned 24,260 votes.

It was reported last weekend that allies of Penny Mordaunt claimed Downing Street was keeping her "in a box" during the election campaign because Rishi Sunak's team see her as a threat.

Well, after her barnstorming performance in a TV debate against politicians from six opposition parties, the Leader of the Commons is well and truly out of her box now. And she mustn't be put back in it.

Her opening words in this 90-minute showdown were explosive. The prime minister, she declared, had been "completely wrong" to leave the D-day ceremonies in Normandy early. No pulling of punches there.

She said the PM was wrong, not once, not twice, but three times. No wonder Number 10 see her as a threat. If this was an audition for a leadership bid after the election, her friends will claim she passed with flying colours.

But once she'd dug her black stilettos out of the PM's back with her opening remarks, after that she was relentlessly on message in hammering Labour on its policies on tax, immigration and crime.

She was at her most combative on the Tories' controversial allegation – first made by Rishi Sunak in his TV debate with Sir Keir Starmer on Tuesday – that Labour is planning a £2,000 tax grab if it wins the election.

This attack triggered the most heated clash of the whole debate, when Mordaunt traded blows with Labour's Angela Rayner on tax. It was a shouting match that went on long after presenter Mishal Husain attempted – but failed - to stop them.

It was all the more heated because the pair were standing next to each other at the end of the row of seven leading politicians, including Nigel Farage, the Lib Dems' Daisy Cooper and the SNP's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn.

For the rest of the debate, Rayner was slightly subdued, rather like Sir Keir had been against the PM on Tuesday. Rayner didn't even attack Sunak about D-day at the start. Nor did Daisy Cooper. Like Sir Keir, his deputy needs to raise her game.

Besides Mordaunt, on D-day Farage claimed Sunak had been unpatriotic and Flynn accused the PM of putting his own political career before public service and Normandy war veterans. Strong stuff.

Mordaunt also tore into Rayner over her previous voting record against renewing Trident. And the brightness of Rayner's red dress wasn't matched by a bright performance in the debate, although she improved as the debate went on. Mordaunt, incidentally, wore Thatcher blue. Remind you of anyone?

Throughout the debate, Farage was typically impish. His quips included claiming Starmer was "very dull" and "Blair without the flair". The PM, he joked, was "slippery Sunak". Yes, he's used those jibes before, but the audience enjoyed them.

Stephen Flynn had his good moments, most notably when he condemned Brexit, an attack on the Conservatives and Labour that the audience enjoyed.

But this debate was about Penny Mordaunt. It was her show, despite the large cast list. If she has been kept in a box by Number 10 up to now, the PM's allies will have been delighted on her attacks on Angela Rayner and Labour's policies.

But they won't have appreciated her blunt – and completely unprompted criticism – of the prime minister over the big story of the day, his D-day snub.

It was a story about a blunder of the PM's own making. It wasn't a gaffe, or an accident. It was sheer bad planning, terrible political judgment, embarrassing and highly damaging to Sunak and the Tory election campaign.

That, apparently was, Penny Mordaunt's view. And she said so. Number 10 won't be happy. A threat? You bet.

Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron has been the victim of a hoax video call and messages from someone claiming to be the former president of Ukraine.

The government said it was making the incident public to stave off any attempts to manipulate footage of Lord Cameron.

The Foreign Office said a "number of text messages were exchanged followed by a brief video call between the foreign secretary and someone purporting to be Petro Poroshenko, former president of Ukraine".

Mr Poroshenko served as Ukrainian president between 2014 and 2019, and has remained a prominent figure in the country since leaving office.

"Whilst the video call clearly appeared to be with Mr Poroshenko, following the conversation the foreign secretary became suspicious," the Foreign Office said, adding contact details for other people were requested by the caller.

"Whilst regretting his mistake, the foreign secretary thinks it important to call out this behaviour and increase efforts to counter the use of misinformation."

Politicians have received repeated warnings in recent months about the growing threat of misinformation and disinformation, especially as artificial intelligence technology improves.

The prime minister is not the only one whose feet are being held to the fire over D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations.

Northern Ireland's first minister has been criticised for not attending, with only the deputy going instead.

DUP leader Gavin Robinson said it had been an opportunity for Michelle O'Neill to act as a first minister for all.

"With men from across the island being remembered, I am disappointed that the deputy first minister was alone in Normandy and the other half of the joint office was absent.

"When we consider how so many from this island have only been able to openly remember their grandparents' war efforts in recent years, this was a missed opportunity for leadership and reconciliation."

He continued: "The first minister should recognise it was a mistake."

Mr Robinson also accused Rishi Sunak of undermining "the authenticity of the speech" he made at the British Normandy Memorial by departing early.

A spokesperson for the Executive Office said: "The Executive Office [TEO] receives many invitations and endeavours to attend as many events as possible.

"TEO is represented by the first minister, deputy first minister and junior ministers.

"This week, TEO was represented at events including the D-Day commemorations; business awards and the Your Time to Shine female leaders celebration event."

Crime is the last theme of the BBC's debate, with one audience member raising the issue of knife crime.

The Green Party's Carla Denyer says not all crime can be tackled by being "tough", explaining a generation of young people have grown up with services like youth centres closing.

Nigel Farage says "stop and search" must be done "in a very tough way".

"We are seeing a societal decline of law and order in this country," he says.

The Liberal Democrats' Daisy Cooper says the model of policing must be changed, with more community policing engaging with families and faith groups.

She says stop and search can be useful, but "suspicion-less" deployment of it has been used to target people.

Penny Mordaunt, the Conservatives Commons leader, says knife crime in London is "top of the list", but the host points out the West Midlands has a higher rate.

"We need more police and we need police who are embedded in communities," she says.

Labour's Angela Rayner says education and reversing cuts to neighbourhood policing is needed.

Rhun ap Iorwerth, of Plaid Cymru, says decision-making should be made closer to communities, calling for more devolution.

Stephen Flynn, of the Scottish National Party, says tackling poverty as a driver of crime is required, and those in poverty have been failed by the government.

The final 30 second concluding statements are under way. Angela Rayner goes first. "If you want change, vote Labour," she says, though it's as though she's memorising a script rather than talking with passion.

Carla Denyer, of the Greens, says Labour are offering more of the same and Labour has changed into the Tories. She got better as the debate went on. Iorwerth is lively and will have done his party some good here.

Penny Mordaunt is polished. "For a more secure future, vote Conservative," she says. She's been class here and shows why for the Tories, she's an underused asset. Daisy Cooper mentions sewage in rivers for the first time this evening. Why so late?

The last word goes to Nigel Farage, who says that unlike the others he doesn't need an autocue. He's right about that. He's been impish throughout, clearly enjoying himself. We'll see a lot more of him in this campaign. That's why he became party leader, of course!

We're staying with the BBC's seven-way political debate between senior figures in the UK's political parties.

"What matters to you more: Economic growth or successful climate policy?" asks an audience member.

Mr Farage says climate policies like net zero are unrealistic and unaffordable.

"Nigel is going to keep your fact-checkers busy for a little while. Farage has been misleading you... so much of what he said there is simply untrue," says the Greens' Carla Denyer.

She criticises Labour for dropping a £28bn green investment pledge earlier this year.

Labour's Angela Rayner says there will be investment including insulating homes and creating green jobs, but oil and gas will be part of the future.

The SNP's Stephen Flynn says Westminster is betraying future generations and his party maintains its commitment to net zero.

"We are facing an ecological emergency", and economic growth can come with tackling it, says the Liberal Democrats, calling for a national insulation scheme.

"Nothing is more important than protecting the environment that you will be living in in future," says Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth.

The Conservatives' Penny Mordaunt says moving to green policies too quickly will "destroy supply chains".

Soldier sings national anthem while touring Texas Capitol

AUSTIN, Texas (KWTX) - There’s nothing like good harmony in the state capitol to show national pride, as shown by soldier Sarah McCauley and Sgt. Mark.

McCauley sang her heart out to the national anthem while enjoying a tour of the Texas state capital in Austin, Texas. It started as just her, but her friend was quick to join.

“As we were at the top, we just started singing the national anthem because it is one of my favorite songs to sing,” McCauley said.

McCauley said she’s always loved to sing, and the anthem is one of her favorites.

Her unit of the national guard was stationed at the capital in Austin during pro-Palestinian protests.

Drive-By Truckers - The Southern Rock Opera Revisited 2024 Tour

Dates: June 20, 2024
Location: ACL Live at The Moody Theater
Time: 8:00 PM
Price: $39-$69

Drive-By Truckers released their third 'studio' album Southern Rock Opera on September 11, 2001. They self-released it on their own tiny Soul Dump label, pressing 5000 copies with a tiny budget they raised by crowdsourcing (as it's come to be known), raising the money online from fans turned investors. They ended up selling 10,000 copies independently without any sort of distribution, mostly sold at shows during the massive tour that they booked themselves. A tour that began with 75 shows in 90 days and that stretched well into the following year.
