//The Wire//2300Z September 4, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SECOND MAJOR EARTHQUAKE STRIKES AFGHANISTAN. DUNDEE HATCHET GIRL VINDICATED AS BULGARIAN COUPLE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Afghanistan: This afternoon the USGS reported the detection of a 5.6M earthquake in the vicinity of Asadabad (a city in the eastern regions recently struck by the earlier earthquakes). Analyst Comment. This marks the third significant earthquake to strike the nation in a week. The recovery from the first major earthquake has continued as the fatality count tops 2,200x (and thousands more missing) over the past few days. No word yet on casualties caused by this most recent earthquake.United Kingdom: The two individuals who were at the center of the recent Dundee "hatchet girl" scandal have been arrested. Two weeks ago, a 14-year-old Scottish girl was arrested on weapons charges following a viral video circulating, which showed the girl brandishing a knife and a hatchet to ward off a migrant who was following her. After two weeks, the migrant (who was threatening and harassing the girls) and another unidentified woman were arrested.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Several developments have taken place regarding the Epstein Scandal over the past few days. Roughly 33,000 documents were released by the House Oversight Committee yesterday on a Google Drive account. Most of the files appear to once again be files that were already released, or present significant challenges to comb through.Analyst Comment: More time will be needed to determine exactly what was released in the latest round of Epstein documents. The choice to host these files on a regular consumer-grade Google Drive account instead of a legitimate governmental website is also an interesting decision, since Google Drive (and the backup provided, Dropbox) is not the best platform for sharing tens of thousands of files with millions of people. In short, for anyone interested in the files, what was hosted on Google Drive takes many hours to zip and download, whereas if it were hosted on a government website it would be easily downloadable in just a few minutes.More broadly, this is really just a continuation of the current trend; various agencies and branches of government will continue to re-release the same files over and over again, in hopes that the American people will get exasperated and forget the whole thing. Or perhaps even more to-the-point, to encourage everyone to "not see the forest, for the trees". Enough documentation has *already been* released, and enough rhetoric from the highest office in the land has already been uttered, for the average American to make a decision as to what happened in this case, and what it means for the future of the nation.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The Dundee case is a good reminder of how the benefit of the doubt often applies only one way. The knee jerk reaction of the police was to believe the Bulgarian man, who was very likely trying to traffic the children...and not the victim's testimony. When it comes to Scottish authorities, a tie goes to the unidentified migrant, so to speak. This will be a point worthy of consideration moving forward and these types of events continue.As a reminder, the effort by all mainstream media sources to paint this girl as the aggressor was significant. Considering how serious the situation is, it is very likely that the girls' initial description of events paints a very dark picture, which is probably what led to the arrests of the adults in this case. Despite the initial details of this case largely being speculative, the wider context of these details is worthy of note for reasons that many people may not be aware of. The girls initially said that the Bulgarian man tried to solicit one of the three girls in the initial group.

Sportsound brings you all the reaction to Sunday's Scottish Premiership football action including the Old Firm derby, Dundee derby and the matches at Pittodrie and Easter Road.

From a childhood in Dundee marked by loss, poverty and resilience, to becoming one of the most respected actors of his generation, Brian Cox's life and career have been defined by an unrelenting pursuit of truth on and off stage. In this in-depth conversation with James O'Brien, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner reflects on the death of his father at eight years old, the formative influence of his mother's struggles with mental health, and the teachers who first spotted his talent.Cox charts his journey from the Dundee Repertory Theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End and Hollywood, revisiting the defining roles that shaped his craft- from portraying Hannibal Lecter before Anthony Hopkins to his acclaimed turn as Logan Roy in Succession. He speaks candidly about the compromises and convictions that have steered his career, the cultural and political forces that have shaped his worldview, and his ongoing belief in the power of storytelling to confront injustice.Thoughtful, uncompromising and rich with anecdote, this episode offers a compelling portrait of an actor whose commanding presence is matched by his fierce intellect and refusal to play by the rules.

FIVE NEW businesses to INSPIRE On this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive deep into the world of side hustles and the extraordinary power of simply starting where you are. Sometimes the hardest part isn't skill, money, or opportunity—it's just believing that action will actually lead somewhere. And over the past few months, listeners of this very show have been proving that point with stories that show what's possible when you take an idea and put it into motion. It all began with a simple suggestion: try selling on Facebook Marketplace. It's a place most of us scroll past without thinking too much, but it's also a treasure trove of hidden value. People give things away for free, or at rock-bottom prices, just to get rid of them. And with a bit of imagination, elbow grease, and courage, those things can be turned into income. This episode is filled with the real voices of listeners who heard that advice, tried it for themselves, and discovered just how powerful that one step can be. Take Daniel from Stockport. He never thought side hustles were for him. He worked full time, listened to podcasts, but never acted. Then he heard me talk about broken running machines. People were leaving treadmills out on the curb or listing them online for free, just wanting them gone. That sparked something. Daniel collected one, tinkered with the belt and fuse, and suddenly he had a working machine. He sold it within days for £150. What's remarkable isn't just the money, but the ripple effect. That one sale showed him he wasn't trapped by his day job—he could create value out of nothing. Since then, he's flipped six machines and is building confidence with every sale. Yes, his garage is bursting at the seams, but he's also bursting with momentum. Then there's Rebecca from Melbourne. She's a mum of two who saw an opportunity in toys. She knew from experience how expensive they can be, and how quickly children outgrow them. So she started small with a $20 box of LEGO, cleaned it, sorted it, and turned it into $90 within a week. That snowballed into trampolines, ride-on cars, and playhouses—items people considered junk but that parents snapped up once they were cleaned. Rebecca's had her share of headaches: people not showing up, muddy items needing endless scrubbing, the grind of haggling. But she's now making $300 a week just from flipping toys, proving that side hustles don't need to start big to be impactful. Andre in Bucharest took a different path. He didn't have money to invest, but he had time and determination. He picked up free furniture, sanded it, painted it, and sold it on. A battered wooden dining table turned into £95 profit. Old IKEA cabinets, given new handles and a fresh coat of paint, brought in £180. For Andre, the challenge has been transport—scratched car interiors and the stress of moving bulky furniture—but the reward has been discovering confidence. People loved what he created, and they paid for the uniqueness of an “upcycled” piece. His story reminds us that the barrier isn't resources, it's mindset. Meanwhile, Sarah in Toronto was drowning in kids' clothes, an everyday reality for parents. Instead of donating them like usual, she bundled them into age and season groups and sold them online. They sold within a day. That was the turning point. She reached out to other parents, gathered bags of clothes, and suddenly had more stock than she could handle. The living room looked like a charity shop explosion, but the money started to flow. Last month, she made just under $800, enough to pay down a lingering credit card debt. For Sarah, the issue has been organisation, space, and time. But she realised parents were buying not just clothes—they were buying convenience. She had solved a problem for people, and in doing so, she had solved one of her own. And finally, Colin in Dundee. He thought side hustles were too much hassle, having failed with others before. But when he spotted how many garden tools were being discarded—lawnmowers, strimmers, pressure washers—he decided to take the leap. A petrol mower that wouldn't start cost him a £4 spark plug to repair, and he sold it for £85. Two broken pressure washers bought for £10 each became one working unit that sold for £120, plus spare parts sold separately. The struggles have been messy: mud, oil, endless haggling, and a driveway cluttered with tools. Yet three months in, he's earned nearly £1,000. More importantly, he's regained a sense of purpose. What was once just junk has become a way to prove to himself that he can still create, build, and grow. What all these stories have in common is that they didn't start with grand business plans, large investments, or polished strategies. They started with ordinary people listening to an idea on Join Up Dots and daring to test it. Each person faced their own setbacks: space problems, unreliable buyers, transportation headaches, or sheer lack of confidence. But each one also found a way through. And in finding that way through, they discovered something even more valuable than the money—they discovered belief in themselves. That's the heart of this episode. You don't need to know everything in advance. You don't need to start perfectly. You just need to start. Whether it's a broken treadmill, a pile of LEGO, an old wardrobe, a bag of clothes, or a muddy lawnmower, there's always an opportunity waiting if you're willing to look at it differently. So as you listen, think about what's sitting right in front of you. What's lying around your house unused? What do people in your community throw away without thinking? The stories shared today prove that taking action—any action—is worth more than overthinking the perfect plan. And here's where you can play your part. If these stories have inspired you, if they've made you rethink what's possible for you, then share this episode. Spread it with your friends, family, and anyone who needs that spark of belief. Use the hashtags #JoinUpDots #SideHustleStories #MarketplaceSuccess to keep the conversation moving. Every share might be the nudge that helps someone else see what they're capable of.

//The Wire//2300Z August 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DOMESTIC CONCERNS REMAIN HIGH IN UNITED KINGDOM FOLLOWING THE ARREST OF CHILD. TRUMP ORDERS CREATION OF NATIONAL GUARD QUICK REACTION FORCE. WHITE HOUSE DOUBLES NUMBER OF CHINESE STUDENTS ADMITTED TO AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: Social tensions have continued to deteriorate following the arrest of a 14 year old girl for brandishing a knife on St. Ann Lane in Dundee, Scotland. Details are largely unclear, however the girl was attempting to defend her younger sister from the advances of a migrant while walking down the street.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning President Trump signed several Executive Orders, the most prominent of which involved the banning of burning the American Flag, which is being phrased as a "hate crime" punishable by a mandatory-minimum prison sentence of one year. Other Executive Orders were also issued pertaining to ending federal funding to jurisdictions which allow the practice of cashless bail, as well as to expand the scope of National Guard deployments throughout the nation. This order directs the Pentagon to create the idea of a "standing National Guard Quick Reaction Force" (QRF), which can be deployed around the nation in a similar fashion as the force already deployed throughout Washington. This order also cracks down on HUD providing housing for violent criminals, and uses very politically correct language to more or less convey the idea of cleaning up the Section 8 housing projects throughout the city.Analyst Comment: The EO pertaining to the deployment of National Guard very much illuminates the perspectives of the White House and defense officials. While it was glossed over in the text of the EO, that word "standing" as it applies to the National Guard reveals the wordsmithing that is at play.
