单集文稿 ...

  • You are listening to the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on the 22nd of August.

  • And here he comes.

  • Our senior correspondent Fernanda Augusta Pacheco has literally burst into the studio.

  • You're not normally one who moves at a massively remarkable pace, but the energy with which Faye has just arrived is really what wonderful because I suspect that this is a tone that he will be setting for today's Global Countdown.

  • Now, when we were talking about this before we came on air, I said, where are we going?

  • And usually you say, I don't know, Colombia, Uzbekistan, you know, a discernible place with a, with a national boundary.

  • We're going, ladies and gentlemen, and I've written this down to a light breeze on a starry summer evening.

  • Now, do I hear the sound of a barrel being scraped here, Faye, or are we going into a brand new inspiring direction?

  • We're going to a brand new inspiring direction, of course.

  • And you know, I added a new, a couple of new tracks to the playlist, I think from next week you'll be able to see.

  • And I realized that there's something common to them.

  • They can, I feel it.

  • It's a kind of late summer mood, you know, so it is breezy, it's nothing over the top, but you can still dance to as well.

  • It's very optimistic but nostalgic at the same time.

  • Is this like a slightly tipsy playlist?

  • Yeah.

  • Okay.

  • When I actually create a playlist, I always imagine someone with a cocktail in their hands.

  • If they don't drink, it can be a mocktail as well.

  • Listen, I'm very open minded, but yes, you're very right.
