Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. It'd be
follow this and a wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
In the UK. Correspondent in the Brady joins me in
the good morning, Good.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Morning to him, Happy Christmas to you and all our
listeners you too. Now.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
French polace re examining a nineteen ninety one murder case
in Paris. Did Dominique Pillico murder a young female estate agent?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
That is the question they're asking. So for anyone who
doesn't recognize that name, he is the husband who was
jailed last week in France for twenty years. You may
have read about this awful, awful rape trial. So he
drugged and attacked his own wife, and then via the Internet,
he arranged for at least fifty other men to come

(00:58):
to their family home in the south of France and
abuse his wife while she was unconscious. Now, French detectives
have been following this case very very closely. He was
convicted last week and so two were the other fifty men.
A lot of people in French policing are of the
view that Dominique Pellico did not just wake up in

(01:18):
his sixties and start abusing women. That there were decades
of abuse prior to this. Now it's very, very interesting
they have chosen the case of Sophie Narm. She was
in her early twenties. Christmas nineteen ninety one, she worked
as an estate agent in Paris and she had an
appointment to show a man around an apartment in quite

(01:39):
an expensive suburb of Paris, and she never came home.
Her parents raised the alarm. Her employers then went through
her diary of what she was doing that day and
they went to that property and it was there that
they found her body. She had been attacked, she had
been murdered, and for thirty three years that case has
remained unsolved. So French detectives are now looking at that

(02:03):
case and they've discovered the Dominique Pellico in December nineteen
ninety one was living six miles away in Paris working
as an estate agent, would you believe. So they're delving
deeper into that case. They will be looking at forensics,
they will be looking at where he was on the
day in question. He's been jail for twenty years, he's

(02:24):
seventy two. He's going to die in prison. But French
coups are absolutely adamant that Dominique Pelico's offending careers as
a sexual deviant did not begin in recent years.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
And people are one answers for that case, regardless of
you know how long he's in prison. I guess Jeremy
clarks and sissus Pubbinchure as chaos. How many beard glasses
have been stolen every day?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
So one day last week Tarkson had one hundred and
four beard glasses stolen from his new pub in one day.
So it's on the tourist map. Looks you got to
with Myer Tarkson. You know, he's shone a light on
the farming world and how difficult it is to make
a few make a living off the land. Really in farming.

(03:08):
The pub industry in the UK is on its knees.
Britain is losing pubs every single week. So Clarkson has
bit the bullet. He's bought a pub in Burford in
West Oxfordshire, Cottswowles, just up the road from his farm.
He calls it the Farmer's Dog. He's renovated it and
he's selling his own beer that he makes locally with

(03:28):
wheat from the farm called Hawkstone Larger all the produce
in the pub is British, and he said he's really
struggling to make ends meet. He said a couple of things.
The council only allowed him to have a car park
if he provided parking marshals to ease traffic congestion and
what in the area. He reckons that's cost him fifty
four thousand dollars since August. And he said he's running

(03:51):
out of beard glasses because people are turning up as
a tourist kind of thing having a beer to said
they've had a beer in Clarkson's pub and they're leaving
with the beard glasses stealing us. So one hundred and
four beer glasses in one day last week were stolen.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Has he autographed them as something that's.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No. I think people are just doing it to say
that they've they've taken a glass from Trackson's pub. That's unsustainable.
I don't care how much money you have. Yeah, it's
very strange. I mean, look, it's probably getting to the
stage where he's going to have to sell people a
beer and say you know what, there's five dollars deposit
on that and you get it back when you leave.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Good thinking and generations z Z Z turn their backs
on turkey.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, what a joyless Christmas these people must be having.
There's a story in the papers here today about gen
Z and turning their back on Christmas traditions, so they're
not big fans of turkey. Top sellers for gen Z
across the UK this year nut roasts, mushroom, Wellington and

(05:02):
if they do eat meat, they will cook a duck.
And we're also seeing a huge in the sale of
Yorkshire puddings. Now, I love Christmas dinner. I've eaten forty
eight of them tomorrow will be forty nine and not
once have I ever had a Yorkshire pudding of nothing
against Yorkshire puddings. I lived in Yorkshire for two years,
but jen Z apparently are putting Yorkshire puddings on the

(05:24):
plate on Christmas Day. No turkey, so I don't know.
I'm in Ireland. I'm my mother and father's house in
County Wexford, and I can guarantee it him there won't
be a nut roast here tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
What is going to be on the plate for break
for Christmas? Breakfast? Sorry for Christmas Christmas eighteen, I.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Would say to him, will probably have guinness for breakfast.
Gun us for lunch, turkey for dinner, and then Bailey's
for supper, and a few more guinnises in the evening.
And and we don't want to do this report at
this time tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I can tell you that one you won't be hearing
down to Clarkson's Pub for the Glassway then, William.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, I'm going to the best pub in Ireland in
about an hour's time, Marty Bees in Kloran in County Wexford,
and not it's the best pub in the world, honestly, Tim,
you ever visit Ireland, find Marty Bees Pub in County Wexford.
They have horse racing on two TVs Irish horse racing,
English horse racing. He has a darkboard, a pool table,
there's a bingle tonight with a top prize of two

(06:23):
thousand dollars and his wife runs the chip shop out
the base. You don't need to leave the place.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Hang on, I'm riding it down.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
What's it called Marty Bees?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Marky Bees, Hey, you have a merry Christmas in the
really great to check to you in a very merry Christmas.
