Turning trash into treasure, or rather 01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:02.659 larvae into profit, Britain's councils might 01:01:02.659 --> 01:01:05.380 just find that the buzz of flies is music to 01:01:05.380 --> 01:01:12.840 their financial ears.

Georges Cuvier, the anatomist 01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:03.219 who snubbed Napoleon's Egyptian adventure, preferred 01:05:03.219 --> 01:05:06.880 dissecting ideas over pyramids, birthing a foundational 01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:16.420 work in natural history.

In a grotesque 01:48:55.810 --> 01:48:59.170 twist of America first, Trump's administration 01:48:59.170 --> 01:49:02.850 lets 500 metric tons of high -energy biscuits 01:49:02.850 --> 01:49:06.970 rot, starving Afghan and Pakistani children of 01:49:06.970 --> 01:49:11.420 hope.

And the only thing crumbling 01:54:30.449 --> 01:54:33.609 faster than political integrity is the illusion 01:54:33.609 --> 01:54:39.569 of sovereignty itself. In a symphony of insults, 01:54:39.569 --> 01:54:43.149 the German Bundestag stages its budget debate 01:54:43.149 --> 01:54:47.420 as a theatrical showcase of grievances. with 01:54:47.420 --> 01:54:49.619 Chancellor Murrow's conducting the cacophony. 01:54:51.039 --> 01:54:54.520 When political discourse sounds like a barroom 01:54:54.520 --> 01:54:58.000 brawl, you know the budget is just a prelude 01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:02.140 to the real performance.
