A Narwhal Called Bob

Host: Andrew Tate was taken into custody in Romania

Host: Welcome to the latest edition of the Legal Insider podcast. I'm your host, and today we have a shocking story to bring you. Influencer Andrew Tate, a self-confessed misogynist, has been arrested and taken into custody on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Joining me to discuss this is our reporter. Can you tell us more about this case?

Reporter: Yes, the suspect and three others were arrested last night in Romania on charges of forming an organized crime group, human trafficking, and rape. Prosecutors say that six women have been identified as having been exploited by the group, which allegedly created pornographic content for paid websites as part of a venture that made them a significant sum of money. The authorities are alleging that this was the purpose of the group and are requesting to extend the suspect's detention period from 24 hours to 30 days.

Host: This is a shocking and disturbing story. What is known about the other suspects arrested with the suspect?

Reporter: The suspect's brother and two Romanian nationals were also taken into custody. It's not clear at this time what their involvement in the alleged crimes is. The suspect is a well-known online personality, with notoriety for his controversial views. He was kicked off Twitter in 2017 for his misogynistic views but was reinstated last month. He has publicly stated that women belong in the home, can´t drive, and are a man’s property. Despite these views, he was one of the most searched-for celebrities on social media in 2022.

Host: And do we know if the suspect has a criminal record?

Reporter: It's not clear at this time if he has committed any offenses previously, but these are certainly serious allegations and the authorities are seeking to extend his detention period. We'll continue to follow this story and bring you updates as more information becomes available.

Host: Thank you for bringing us this astounding

Morte di un generale

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃。

北海道は日本の中で1番上にあります。
ですので、寒くなるのは日本のどこよりも早い場所です。
今10月中旬ですが、この時期、ちょうど紅葉シーズンをむかえています。

海外から旅行で来られる方も増えていると思いますので、今日は北海道の紅葉スポットについて話そうと思います！私もまだ行ったことがないところですが、近々行きたいと考えています。

① 円山公園
札幌駅から4キロほどの場所にある、旅行客でも簡単に行ける場所です。札幌駅から歩いても行けます。たぶん1時間ぐらい。ここは、結構大きな公園です。
札幌神社、運動場、動物園などもあります。
でも1番は原始林とつながっているこの公園にはたくさんの自然があります。
この公園の紅葉はとても綺麗なようです。
11月のはじめぐらいまでが紅葉の見ごろかもしれませんね。

② 北海道大学
次は北海道大学です。こちらは、札幌駅から歩いて10分ほどです。こちらはイチョウ並木が有名です。まっすぐの道に、70本ほどのイチョウが植えられています。
天気が良ければとても気持ちいいかもしれませんね。


はい、ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今日は北海道の札幌駅から手軽に行ける、紅葉のオススメスポット2ヶ所をお伝えしました。

もし、ちょうどこの時期、2022/10月中旬から11月初旬ぐらいに北海道、札幌に来られる方がいたら、ぜひ、時間を作って行ってみてください！ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
