Big L Radio Listen Again
Thursday Evening Soiree 22nd August
[music] Good evening. I have a very old fair of you to come to our little expiré this evening. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand by for Cookie on the Big L. But my hair is still in courage. [laughter] You're a stupid fool. Where are we going tonight? Oh, the usual cocktail joint. Big L. [music] At 0700 hours tomorrow morning, my shutdown disk will be activated, and all mental and physical operations will cease. Then what? I don't know, maybe I'll get a job as a disc jockey from this one. And now, here he is. It's Cookie. Oh no! Music. Oh, yes it is. A very good evening. I had a very warm welcome along to another Thursday evening swari with me, Cookie, taking you through to the Beatles hour at 9 p.m. UK time. Stand by for two hours of wonderful music and a fair bit of mayhem into the bargain. And thanks to Gary Jackson for the last hour. We'll be back same time tomorrow. Music. That's our middle name. Wonderful music. The I.T.L. And, of course, back a little bit later for a little tinkle with our sing along. [music] Into our 5500 with the Supremes. [music] I need love, love, to ease my mind. I need to pan pan. Someone called mine, but mama said, "K-Hearing love." Oh, you just had to wait. She said, "Love don't go easy." It's a game of giving take. K-Hearing love. Oh, you just had to wait. You gotta trust, give it time. No matter how long it takes, but how many holidays must just stand before I find a love to let me live again. Right now, the only thing that keeps me hanging on when I feel my strength. Yeah, it's almost all. I remember mama said, "No." You just had to wait. She said, "Love don't go easy." It's a game of giving take. I love myself. How much more can I take before loneliness? Well, cause my heart, heart to break. Oh, I can't bear to live my life alone. I grow impatient for a love to call my own. But when I feel that I, I can't go on. These precious words keeps me hanging on. I remember mama said, "No." You just had to wait. She said, "Love don't go easy." It's a game of giving take. K-Hearing love. No, you just had to wait. She said, "Trust give it time." No matter how long it takes, but... No, no, no. Don't come easy. But I keep on waiting. I'm too soft, waiting for that soft voice. To talk to me at night. For some 10 day arms. To hold me tight. I keep waiting. I keep on waiting. But when I'm easy. That ain't easy. But mama said, "You're catering up. No, you just had to wait." She said, "Trust give it time." No matter how long it takes, you K-Hearing love. You get a positive charge out of... Big girl. Hey there, Georgie girl. Swingin' down the street so fancy-free. Nobody you meet could ever see. The loneliness there. Inside you. Hey there, Georgie girl.

He's been cooking pizza to perfection, apparently. Did you smoke a lot and tell you when it was done? [MUSIC] Cast to my patenias to the girls next to me in school. If I put my hand up on her legs, she hit me with a rope. Though tomorrow won't feel long, we're gonna have to play it cool. If you vacillate to write her, she gets in the place of fire.

US Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing to wrap up the final day of the Democratic Convention in Chicago, where she'll formally accept the party's presidential nomination. She follows Wednesday night's headline speech from her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Ever since Simon Marx looks ahead to Harris's speech from the convention site in Chicago. Tonight is Kamala Harris's night, the biggest speech of her political career, and everything is at stake. There is no margin for error for her tonight. Remember that just five weeks ago when she first became aware of the fact that there was an opportunity to become the Democrats' presidential candidate, her approval rating was 38.6%. Joe Biden's was 38.5%, so she wasn't any more popular in the country than the president she served. She's hoping to use this speech tonight absolutely to turn that around. She's already got the delegates here on side, but among the wider electorate and then fan out and spend the next 74 days in those all-important battleground states. ceasefire talks are expected to resume in Cairo on Thursday with mediators desperate to finalize a truce between Israel and Hamas after more than 10 months of fighting. Adil is also being seen as possibly the only way to calm tensions in the region with fears the Middle East could be heading towards a wider-scale war. Ever since Cerakot's reports from Tel Aviv. The Israeli military's been carrying out heavy strikes in Lebanon targeting what it says are Hezbollah weapons depots, rocket launchers and other infrastructures. The air rate sirens continue to ring out in Israel's north with rockets and drones fired into largely evacuated communities. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continue to mount with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying on Wednesday that the country is ready for any scenario both on the defensive and on the attack. Cerakot's Tel Aviv. The body of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch has been recovered from the wreck of a luxury yacht which sank off the coast of Sicily. Sources say Lynch's 18-year-old daughter is now the only passenger still missing. Ever since you're a correspondent, Charles Gibson has more. After struggling to access the cabins of the yachts which is lying on its side 50 meters down, divers located five bodies and brought them ashore on Wednesday. The 56-meter vessel sank in the early hours of Monday after being hit by a powerful storm. Local prosecutors in Sicily are investigating the tragedy and have interviewed multiple survivors including the 51-year-old captain, James Cutfield, the head of the firm that owns the company that built the yacht has claimed it was one of the safest boats in the world, adding that he believes it must have gone down because of human error.
