I had a great time filming with Christina Ruffini at Bloomberg this Weekend. We had tried to film when she was at CBS back in 2022, but I got breast cancer. This was a date long coming! The segment will air on October 20, when SLEUTH-HOUND is released!

Absolutely horrifying. How can our government be planning to drill for new oil and gas when we know these are the consequences?
We have to keep the pressure on this Labour Government to keep all fossil fuels in the ground and secure a safe future for our children and grandchildren.
