What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports that after four years, a Ukrainian man is set to stand trial in Hamburg, accused of sabotaging the pipelines.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC says German police followed the evidence to Ukraine. Joining us by satellite is Ingrid Halvorsen-Pratt, author of Pipe Dreams, Pipe Nightmares. Welcome.

  3. Ingrid Halvorsen-PrattGloria, thank you. I predicted this, and I also predicted the exact opposite. Both are in chapter nine, which is thirty dollars.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBoth predictions. Convenient. Which one did you put your name on in public?

  5. Ingrid Halvorsen-PrattBoth, on different days. I call it forecasting insurance. Whichever way the trial goes, I'm on a podcast by Tuesday.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports only that a trial is set. It does not say how it ends. What do you expect?

  7. Ingrid Halvorsen-PrattA very long trial, with sandwiches. My neighbor's cat has more evidence than I do, but she has a better publicist.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI once got thrown out of an embassy for asking a simpler question. Do you actually know anything about this case?

  9. Ingrid Halvorsen-PrattKnow? Gloria, I own a laminated map of the Baltic Sea. I once cried at it. Is that not expertise?

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe'll have to leave it there. Ingrid Halvorsen-Pratt, author of Pipe Dreams, Pipe Nightmares. Thank you.
