The pair discuss the fallout from Lando Norris and Franco Colapinto's latest clash before turning to the driver market, where Esteban Ocon's Haas exit raises questions about his route back onto the F1 grid and the likely arrival of Rafael Câmara alongside Ollie Bearman.Plus, plenty of nostalgia for one of Formula One's best-loved circuits and some classic Malaysian Grand Prix moments.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Episode #616: Joseph, a community leader among Myanmar refugees in Malaysia, and Patrick, an advocacy specialist working on refugee and migrant issues there, speak about their work and the very challenging situation faced by Myanmar refugees. Refugees themselves, while they have adapted to daily life in Malaysia, that adaptation never became security. Even after many years, they still live with constraints imposed by their legal status. Because Malaysia was not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, those fleeing conflict are permitted to remain in the country but are not legally recognized as refugees and have no pathway to citizenship or permanent residency. There is also a large and growing group of stateless children born to refugee parents, who can neither obtain citizenship from Myanmar nor legal status in Malaysia. Joseph and Patrick connect the cumulative effects of violence in Myanmar, dangerous flight, detention risk, economic exploitation, and prolonged legal uncertainty to a widening mental health crisis. They hear from individuals experiencing severe psychological distress, including suicidal thoughts and paranoia. At the same time, mental health services for refugees have largely collapsed there. As a result, refugees with serious psychological conditions have nowhere else to turn. In response to all these challenges, Joseph and Patrick run community-based training programs that teach culture, language and survival skills. Many newcomers have never before lived outside Myanmar and so are unfamiliar with the exigencies of cross-cultural awareness and understanding. These programs also address the importance of dignity and restoring hope. Both men reflect on the psychological toll of their own long-term exile and community involvement. Unlike those resettled in Western countries, they continue to imagine their return at some unknown point in the future as the only true endpoint. This prolonged suspension—neither fully rebuilding a life elsewhere, nor fully relinquishing the hope to return home—shapes how Myanmar refugees in Malaysia endure displacement. Patrick and Joseph say the Burmese people are fighting not for leaders but for freedom and dignity, and he asks those who believe in freedom to stay with them. They end with this plea: “Please don't forget about Myanmar!”
The Malaysian government is facing accusations of forcibly deporting Rohingya refugees, a charge the government denies. It says the process is voluntary and coordinated with Myanmar’s government. But human rights groups say this process violates international law by sending refugees to countries where they risk facing persecution or torture. So, will this concern stop the Rohingya being sent back to Myanmar? In this episode: Phar Kim Beng, Director of the Institute of International and ASEAN Studies and Geopolitics Professor at the University of Malaysia Lucky Karim, Democracy and Human Rights Advocate and Founder of Refugee Women for Peace and Justice Maung Zarni, Genocide Scholar and Co-Founder of the scholar-activist network, Forces of Renewal Southeast Asia Host: Imran Khan Connect with us: @AJEPodcasts on X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube

Anne Jacyntha is a prominent Malaysian radio announcer, content creator, and emcee. Known for her crisp, lively voice and high-energy personality, she made history as the first female radio presenter featured on the HITZ Morning Crew which happens to be one of Malaysia's flagship English language morning breakfast radio shows. She appears on this episode of the Hello Mentor podcast to discuss: ◼ Her Unconventional Route to Radio and Having a "Fallback Plan": She explains how she fast-tracked into radio after entering an announcer search at 17, which led her to pursue a Law degree as a safety net. She shares why she briefly worked as a paralegal and legal secretary before returning to media full-time. ◼ The Mental and Physical Realities of the Breakfast Show: She opens up about the demanding lifestyle behind a 6:00 AM radio show, including daily 4:00 AM wake-ups, dealing with daily direct performance feedback ("air checks"), and the pressure of breaking into a historically male-dominated morning crew slot. ◼ Her Complex Relationship with Social Media & Privacy: Despite having a strong digital footprint as a beauty and lifestyle creator advocate for deeper skin tones, she reveals that she actually dislikes social media, avoids oversharing her personal life, and prefers consuming long-form content like documentaries. ◼ Overcoming Internalized Standards of Beauty: She reflects on growing up with societal and cultural colorism in Malaysia, how she unlearned the belief that "fair is pretty" to embrace her skin tone, and her shift toward creating content that builds representation for deeper skinned women. ◼ Life Lessons from Law School and Navigating Career Anxiety: She breaks down how studying case law gave her a realistic perspective on how fast life can change, why no experience goes to waste even if you change careers, and her advice to young Malaysians about learning to trust the process over constantly worrying about the future.

Malaysia starts sending thousands of refugees back to war-torn Myanmar. Human rights groups say it risks returning Rohingya muslims to danger. We hear from a fearful refugee. Also in the programme: Israel's military says more than a hundred settlers have attacked a village in the occupied West Bank; we hear from Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who was held in a Russian prison for more than 400 days; and how the youngest ever female chess grandmaster learnt to play.(IMAGE: Myanmar nationals due to be repatriated from Malaysia sit inside a bus at Lumut, Malaysia September 29, 2026 / REUTERS/Hasnoor Hussain)
"In truth, we prove statistically how little funding is needed to create a real impact." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, TNR Training Workshop Presented by Neighborhood Cats, and Jessica Dolce, Compassion Fatigue + Grief Educator. Daniel Leung got into TNR the way many of us do. He worked on a farm in college, ignored his manager's warning never to feed the stray cats, and soon had dozens of them. A local TNR group came in to help, Daniel started volunteering with them, and he kept doing the work, first in Maryland and later with a large colony at a New Jersey hotel while he was traveling as a respiratory therapist during COVID. Then a trip to Penang, Malaysia, changed everything. On an island that may be home to 70,000 to 100,000 stray cats, he saw cats at every market stall and on every street. After several years volunteering with local groups, Daniel felt the system was stuck, so he started something new. Cats of Penang began as a small grassroots effort and has grown into Catsoterra, which is built around the problems local caretakers kept running into: no government support, high costs and prices nobody would disclose. Daniel negotiated fixed rates with partner clinics and pre-funded the surgeries. He also built an online dashboard where volunteers book appointments, track outcomes and map where the cats come from. Volunteers pay an annual membership of 60 ringgit and can bring in as many cats as they need all year. So far, nearly 900 cats have been sterilized for about US$14,000. Stacy and Daniel talk about what scale really requires. That includes the veterinary shortage in Malaysia, the cultural habit of letting owned cats roam, and why a 10-year plan matters when you're trying to move a whole island's numbers. They also get into apathy, business partnerships and Stacy's vision of a "cat church" in every town where neighbors help one another care for community cats. Daniel's message to the field is to get out of the old models and let the data make the case.

Nearly 60 percent of women and girls have experienced online gender-based violence. It's a difficult problem to address because it involves governmental policy as well as private companies. How can tech platforms become accountable not only to this abuse, but also, for creating safer digital spaces? In our final episode of this season, we learn about how technology is facilitating gender-based violence, as well as promising strategies to reduce online GBV. Reporter Sanjna Selva travels to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to understand how the online abuse of a TikTok star rattled the country. She also speaks with Serene Lim, Co-Founder of MataSEA, about how feminist tech approaches could address online GBV in Malaysia. Then host Reena Ninan speaks with Hera Hussain, Founder and CEO of Chayn, a global nonprofit creating online resources to support GBV survivors. Hera shares what she believes are the strongest points of leverage in dealing with major tech platforms.

"If you go back three of four years, you'd have expected Singapore to take the lead on such a regionally important project - but now it's Vietnam." That seems significant. With three quarters of 2026 completed, pan-Asian air travel networks look rather different from the start of the year. The 9th month of the year, September, featured a raft of intriguing developments across South East Asia, plus China, Australia and Canada. On this week's show, Gary and Hannah track back through a highly consequential month and the implications for the crucial end-of-year travel period and into 2027. En route, we assess Vietnam's app-based ID card integration pilot project with Singapore and Laos for air travellers at two airports, and Vietjet's ambitions in contrasting global markets: the US and Australia. Plus, we address the impacts of catastrophic flooding in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, the grim continuation of fire-smoke haze blighting Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, while typhoon season proves deadly in Japan. Plus, why is Air Canada opening up to Vietnam but closing down to Singapore? And will the accelerating race to open one of the world's largest new airports meet its end of year deadline?
Indonesia and Malaysia played out a tense 0-0 draw at the Gelora Bung Karno, but the result only tells part of the story. Ryan Walters is joined by Indonesian football journalist Ilham Batara Simatupang at GBK to break down a chaotic night in Jakarta, from Tom Haye's first-half red card and Indonesia's struggles with 10 men to Malaysia's missed opportunity to take advantage. They discuss the chants for former Indonesia coach Shin Tae-yong around the stadium, questions over John Herdman's Plan B, Malaysia's second-half approach, and why a draw against their biggest rivals felt more like a defeat for Indonesia. Plus, hear from inside the post-match press conferences as Herdman praises the GBK crowd as Indonesia's "X factor,", Maarten Paes reflects on another clean sheet, and Tan Cheng Hoe looks back on the chances Malaysia missed to win it. Elsewhere, Singapore picked up their first win of the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Bangladesh, with reaction from Gavin Lee, Harhys Stewart and Thomas Dooley. With Indonesia and Malaysia still locked together heading into the final round, can Indonesia find the goals they need against Bangladesh to finish the group strongly?

Josiah Ng says success in a rapidly changing world requires a complete shift in mindset and adaptability. Traditional paths to security may no longer be enough, and the challenges of tomorrow cannot be solved through memorisation alone. To succeed, the next generation will need to embrace failure, take full ownership of their journey, and be willing to do the hard things. Josiah is a three-time Malaysian Olympic track cyclist, former world number one, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games medallist, and founder of The Olympian Academy. Years after stepping away from competitive cycling, he joins the Hello Mentor podcast to reflect on his journey and share his perspectives on mindset, resilience, mentorship, parenting, and preparing the next generation for an uncertain future. In this episode, Josiah shares his approach to mentorship and why he believes in offering value to people without expecting anything in return — a philosophy that eventually led him to meet his co-founder at The Olympian Academy. He also reflects on running the Olympian Mindset podcast and the very different skills required to be a podcast host versus a guest. Josiah takes us back to when he returned to Malaysia at 19 and had to convince Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) officials to give him an opportunity, including a seven-hour meeting that eventually led to a cycling tryout. He also breaks down the mindset behind his 2010 Commonwealth Games journey, from visualisation and practising Negaraku every day to preparing himself to “get lucky” when opportunity arrived. Finally, Josiah discusses the family values that shaped him — including competitiveness, education, and wellness — and what young people and parents need to rethink as the world continues to change.

Matthew Campbell is an editor at Bloomberg Businessweek who spent a decade reporting out of Europe before relocating to Singapore, filing from more than twenty-five countries on crime, corruption, terrorism, economics, public health and the environment along the way. He co-broke the investigation into how Goldman Sachs made hundreds of millions of dollars on bond deals with Muammar Gaddafi's Libya while the country lost over a billion, dug into South Africa's Gupta "state capture" scandal, investigated the still-unsolved murder of Canadian pharmaceutical billionaire Barry Sherman, and exposed massive undisclosed methane emissions leaking out of Central Asia's oil and gas fields. He's a seven-time Loeb finalist with honors from the National Press Club, SOPA and SABEW. His new book, The Man Who Stole the Gods, follows the decades-long, industrial-scale looting of ancient Khmer treasures out of Cambodia, and the British art dealer at the centre of it all, Douglas Latchford, who spent fifty years selling stolen antiquities to the world's biggest museums and private collectors on forged provenance nobody bothered to check. We follow the story from Latchford's arrival in 1950s Bangkok, through the horror of the Khmer Rouge and the thirty-year civil war that followed, into the private homes of American billionaires, the boardroom of the Met and even the Jeffrey Epstein files.Link To 'The Man Who Stole the Gods'Link To 'Curious Worldview Substack'Leave a review on Apple or Spotify (nothing does more to help grow the show)It's an enormous pleasure to have spoken with Matt, we discussed...How the story landed on his radar — a stray 2019 headline about a British art dealer indicted for fraud, the detail that he was also the principal financial sponsor of bodybuilding in Southeast Asia, and the COVID delay before he was confident, from his first day reporting in Phnom Penh, that there was a book in itMeeting Brad Gordon, the American lawyer hired by the US Department of Justice who ended up working for the Cambodian government instead — and why Matt built the book around the people chasing the statues rather than the man who stole themWhether the book might push other nations to take looting more seriously, from the century-long fight over the Elgin Marbles to looting still happening today in Iraq, Syria, Sudan and UkraineThe closest historical analogue to Cambodia's scale of loss — Nazi-looted art — and why the Khmer Rouge were "sui generis," even among history's worst regimesLife under Pol Pot: "to keep you is no profit, to destroy you is no loss" — and a regime so absolute it abolished money itself, something not even Stalin or Mao attemptedWhy the Khmer Rouge's brand of communism was so viciously effective and yet, within four years, collapsed like "a house of cards" — at a cost of two million livesDouglas Latchford's arrival in 1950s Bangkok, the CIA-adjacent expat demimonde built around Cold War espionage, and his mentor Jim Thompson — the "Thai Silk King" who vanished without a trace on a walk in Malaysia in 1967The Khmer Empire itself: Angkor at its 12th–13th century peak housing something like 750,000 people against London's 30,000–40,000 — and how little historical record survives because looters don't take notesToek Tik — "Lion" — the Khmer Rouge child soldier turned reluctant executioner turned escapee turned the most prolific looter in Cambodia, and how Brad Gordon spent over a decade coaxing his memories into evidence that kept matching the groundHow Latchford faked provenance — a forged letter from "Ian Donaldson," a man who conveniently died in 2001 but kept "signing" documents into the 2010s — and why almost nobody who saw the paperwork actually believed itWhy Americans developed a taste for Southeast Asian art in the 1960s (the Beatles and the Maharishi, the Hare Krishna movement founded on the Lower East Side) and how that fed straight into 1980s Wall Street fortunesThomas Hoving, the Met director who invented the blockbuster exhibition and corporate sponsorship as we know them — and the Met's refusal to sit for an interview or meaningfully engage with the bookTracing the loot today — an anonymous Architectural Digest spread, and how Jeffrey Epstein's email archive surfaced financier Leon Black's roughly $30 million in Cambodian purchasesArt as a money-laundering vehicle: Latchford's Jersey trusts, the push to finally bring art dealers under the Bank Secrecy Act, and Oliver Bullough's estimate that up to 70% of the secondhand watch trade may be laundering in disguiseWhether large-scale looting still happens — Cambodia's temples are effectively "cleaned out," but Sudan's National Museum lost more than 60% of its collection when the RSF took Khartoum in 2023Closing questions: which empty ancient civilisation he'd walk through if he could (Cambodia, then Mexico) — and the role serendipity has played in every story he's ever chasedCurious Worldview (catalogue connections to this ep)The blurbs made flesh — Matt name-checks both journalists who blurbed his book in conversation: Oliver Bullough, on his new book Everybody Loves Our Dollars and the eye-watering share of the secondhand watch and handbag trade that's really laundering, and Zeke Faux, whose Number Go Up mapped the same "value is whatever somebody says it is" logic onto crypto.The most important crime in the world — Matt's line that no significant criminal enterprise works without laundering its proceeds sits right alongside Nathan Lynch on why Australia became a laundering haven almost by accident.The exploited periphery — the scam compounds in Cambodia and Myanmar that come up near the end are Matt Friedman's exact territory, and Toek Tik — paid a pittance to dig up gods worth millions abroad — is a museum-world version of the same economy.The lone crusader — Brad Gordon spending over a decade, likely the rest of his life, chasing looted statues with no real system built to do it, echoes Bill Browder turning Sergei Magnitsky's death into a one-man campaign.Timestamps... 00:00 — Intro 02:04 — How the story

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Rafsun, founder of Sahaj Mobile, at Money2020 to unpack one of the most exciting fintech stories I've come across in a long time. Rafsun went from managing billions in asset-backed securities at Guggenheim to building a phone financing company in Bangladesh , a market that has been starved for credit for decades. With over 58,000 customers and millions deployed entirely from their own capital, Sahaj Mobile is proving that emerging markets can outperform the West on default rates. We dig into how they used merchants, OEMs like Samsung and Xiaomi, and TikTok influencers to scale fast, how AI powers everything from fraud detection to Bengali-language customer service, and where they are headed next , including a fascinating cross-border financing model for South Asian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. If you are a founder or investor looking at where the real opportunities are, this conversation is one you cannot afford to miss.

Send us Fan MailBaku did what Baku does. In Episode 206, Cheese and Greeny break down a chaotic 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix that ended with the closest finish Formula 1 has seen since Indianapolis in 2002.George Russell took pole by eight tenths, built a ten-second lead, and then watched two safety cars take the whole thing away from him. He held off Max Verstappen over the final thirteen laps to win by 0.196 seconds. Verstappen, who started eighth on a fresh power unit, took Driver of the Day for the charge that fell just short.Then there is the lap-30 restart, where four cars ended their afternoons in one corner. Franco Colapinto locked up trying to pass his own teammate Pierre Gasly, hit him, and Gasly collected Lando Norris. Racing Bulls teammates Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson tangled trying to avoid it. Colapinto has since been given a ten-second penalty, converted to a five-place grid drop in Malaysia, with the stewards saying he entered the corner at a speed that did not allow him to make it in a controlled manner.Elsewhere: Isack Hadjar took his first career podium in his first race back after six weeks injured. Kimi Antonelli crashed in Q1, started sixteenth, finished fifth, and extended his championship lead to 66 points. Oscar Piastri ran second and finished fourteenth. And Aston Martin recorded their fourth double DNF of the season.Plus in the news: Christian Horner calls Ferrari his dream job and says it is the only team he would join without an equity stake. Lando Norris is reportedly ruled out of Le Mans in 2027 despite McLaren solving the calendar clash. And Esteban Ocon has no seat for 2027, with an F3 champion carrying up to €20 million in sponsorship set to take his place at Haas.And in the Greenybucks Gambling Ledger, the lead changes hands for the first time this season.Support the show
Roughly $4 billion a month. That is what Iran's sanctioned oil trade with China was worth when it ran normally, according to Charlie Brown, and the revenue goes directly to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.Brown, a former U.S. Navy officer who heads the Iran Tanker Tracking Program at United Against a Nuclear Iran, joins Ray Powell and Jim Carouso from Singapore to explain how Iranian crude reaches China's teapot refineries by way of an anchorage 80 nautical miles from Singapore, often relabeled “Malaysian blended crude.”He calls Malaysia's Eastern Outer Port Limits “parking on the side of a superhighway.” The location is within Malaysia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), shallow enough to anchor and close enough to Singapore for resupply. Ships go there, he says, “precisely because they won't be disrupted.” None anchor in Indonesian waters, where Jakarta's enforcement is stronger across its full maritime zone, having once seized the Iranian-flagged Arman 114.Malaysian fines run just five figures against cargoes worth $100 million, which Charlie calls a slap on the wrist. This past January, Malaysian authorities detained two false-flagged tankers conducting a transfer off Penang, then released them with a minimal fine, which changed nothing at the Johor anchorage. Malaysia updated its EEZ Act in June 2026 to cover illegal anchoring and unpermitted cargo transfers across its maritime zone, but Brown says nothing has really changed.Also in this episode: what the U.S. blockade has and has not stopped, why 26 Iranian-flagged tankers sailed within days of the MoU signing, and Brown's argument that roughly a third of these ships are now stateless and can be seized by any nation on the high seas.Be sure to subscribe for your weekly Indo-Pacific briefing.Follow Charlie on X at @supbrow or United Against a Nuclear Iran at @UANIFollow us on X, @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn or FacebookFollow Ray Powell on X, @GordianKnotRay, or LinkedIn, or check out his maritime transparency work at SeaLightFollow Jim Carouso on LinkedInSponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific

“No, I'm not drunk… I haven't been drinking with these boys. This is just how I talk now!” Greek comedian Katerina Vrana joins Ouzo Talk for a hilarious and deeply candid conversation about the life-changing illness that nearly killed her, and the unlikely place where it all happened: Malacca, Malaysia. From the aftermath of her illness and adapting to life with a disability, to comedy, Greece, identity and finding humour in the unexpected, Katerina brings unrelenting honesty and wit to the Distillery. And, as she quickly discovers, by her own admission her speech fits right in with two blokes who have had a few ouzos themselves. It's a funny, moving and unforgettable conversation with one of Greece's most unique comedic voices.Huge thanks to the Greek Consulate in Sydney for helping to make this episode happen, and to The Greek Providore for their continued support!Send us Fan MailSupport the showEmail us at ouzotalk@outlook.comSubscribe to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalkFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/
