Speaker 2 (00:00):
As well.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hard to keep up is there's so much turbulence and
change around at the moment. Get with the program to
stay on the surfboard, ride those waves of change and
transformation everybody. And yes, if that's all a bit too much,
I want to say a little bit more about our
Valentine's weekend, something to look forward to beyond the cold,
damp and dark and storms on the fifteenth of February.

(00:21):
So I'll come back to that. Getting a lot of
requests for information. Yes, I'm a little bit like the
man who sat on the bacon sliceer. I'm a little
bit behind, got behind with my work on that particular gig.
Tell you more about that and just a moment after
we've had a look at the principal news story this morning,
which I thought was fascinating.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Actually, which career is.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Most aspirational in Portugal? Now this is a in conjunction
with it's one of those press release pr led stories,
but none interesting nonetheless, because I think it is based
on some is James around. He is our scientific authenticator

(01:04):
adjudicator this morning, which career is most.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Aspirational in Portugal? Can you guess? Would you like to guess?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
And from your own country. I've got a few questions
for you around this. Actually, what did you want to
do if you'd had Google when you were a kid?
Which I mean just for a moment, remember that you didn't.
You probably had a careers officer at school.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Is that how it.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Works in the US as well as it does in
the UK and wherever else you might be tuned in from?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
What did you want to be?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
What do you think is Portugal's most aspirational career for
those currently searching?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
And if you can have all your years again, what
would you do?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Would you be a YouTube influencer DJ that ranks quite highly?
Those were not Joyce's. When I sat in front of
the I can't remember what did I What agreement did
I come to? Was it joining the services?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Possibly? The military.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Remity's latest international has revealed the world's most sought after careers,
including Portugals, by analyzing Google searches for over four hundred
and fifteen careers. The research analyzed the number of Google
searches in one hundred and eighty five countries for the
term how to be a which is quite a good
place to start, isn't it how to be a? And

(02:21):
they came up with this charter here, which makes for
a lovely poster. Actually topping the global list is being
a pilot, and that was definitely one of my I
wanted to be a helicopter pilot. I remember my Auntie
Dorothy telling me, and I was going to land on
the village Green in my helicopter and whisk her away.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
She really liked that.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Close behind that which you believe is becoming an attorney.
And these are the pilot searches were four hundred and
thirty two thousand, The attorney searches were nearly four hundred
thousand to three hundred and ninety three thousand, and how
to be a prosecutor, how to be a judge or
also in the top ten in eighth and tenth recive, respectively,

(03:01):
and the third was how to be a police off
the police officer. These are general searches for the world.
Should we go into Portugal then and see that most interesting?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Did you get this right?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
In Portugal the top career choice is to become a professor,
highlighting a strong preference to educate and inspire, not entirely surprising,
a high value placed, of course on education here in Portugal,
Germany and Belgium also shared an interest in education, with
the same profession being their number one dream career globally.
How to be a professor garnered one hundred and seventy

(03:35):
five thousand. It's not that many, is it, from one
hundred and eighty five countries and all those people searching anyway,
one hundred and seventy four hundred and twenty annual searches
on how to be a professor, securing its position.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Among the world's most popular dream jobs. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
We'll have a look at shout out where you come from,
and I will go to your country's top aspiration. Oh yes,
it's fantastic. Thank you for that video as well as
well on this too. I think that's one of your
favorite places. By the season, the waves did not disappoint
all bit breaking a bit further offshore than usual. Let's

(04:11):
see if we can squeeze that in this morning as well.
Very refreshing and bracing. Thanks for thinking of us as well.
A leesto Pam. Great news Emma joining us tomorrow. We
won't have too much language and culture this morning because
we're gonna have a special with Emma tomorrow. Forty minutes
of a language and invariably inevitably language and culture intertwined. Emma,

(04:33):
of course, focusing on the language and teaching the language.
And somebody you've not met before on this screen. Looking
forward to talking to her tomorrow Morning Lee on Thursday.
And I think Bobby might be joining us on Friday
as well, catching up with Bobby O'Riley on Friday, possibly
if he can fit us into his busy schedule Morning
Hugh as well. I thought I was reading Viagra there, John,

(04:56):
there were seven to eight meters. I see seven to
eight meters, and I see what I think is via Groat.
It's actually Vienna, not via gro the Costello, but Vienna
the Costello by my weather app So naturally I had
to go see fantastic, go see the sea. All right,
let's have a look then in your your country of origin,
please shout it out and we will. We'll have a

(05:17):
look at what your your young fellow countrymen and women
want to be in this day and age.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
It wasn't like that when I was a kid.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
In fact, we didn't say kid even, did we when
I was a young youngster. Youngster that's the old Giffer word,
isn't it for young people. Right, let me go to
dream jobs around the world and we'll have a closer
look at the map then and see what the aspirations
are of young young people today. Right here we go
in my country of origin. In the UK, what do

(05:49):
they want to be? Doctors? I wonder, attorneys? No, in England,
how to be a the top search there was you tuba.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, well that's pretty I'm a YouTuber and I find
that disappointing because like it's okay, it's it's you know,
I enjoy being a YouTuber. But for a national top aspiration,
come on, UK, our Heland is DJ, Northern Ireland is YouTuber.
Also Wales paramedic. There you get well done, something truly

(06:24):
useful to the community.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Paramedic and Scotland YouTuber as well. It's fascinating, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
As we sweep around Europe, electrician in Norway, professor in Germany,
they go maryan or be proud architect in Sweden.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
That makes sense, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
And the top the top choice pilot is reflected in Slovakia,
Czech Republic as well Hungary. People want to be DJs
and if you look at the rest of the world,
you will see that in Australia and India and New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
How to be a DJ? Is that for a job though?
Or is it as a hobby? I don't know. Canada
also DJ the.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Top choice aspiration in the United States flight attendant. That's
people wanting to get out, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
At the root of that? Then?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Interestingly in South America, look at all of these countries
where people want to or are interested in becoming attorneys.
That's fascinating, isn't it? Is that being professionally right? And
is that what that means? Because your job, your job choice,
of course, says a lot about your personality, doesn't it.
People who want to fly away, people who want to
police other people, people who want to prosecute other people.

(07:37):
But if you go around South America, starting in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras,
El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, all want to
be attorneys, as they do in Peru, Martinique, and Bolivia,
as well Brazil and oh Argentina. A notable exception top

(07:58):
top search is actress. Would that be boys and girls want?
And nobody uses the word actress anymore?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Do they? I would have thought it's just universally actor
now is it not? But there you go.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh, and notably here in Portugal people want to search
or people search professors, and it has been what's the word, oh, extended,
there's a better word than that, but it's the correlated.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
No, there'sn't even better word than that.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
But in Portugal the top search is how to be
a professor, whilst in Spain it's how to be an attorney,
as it is in France. I think by the yeah,
France is the same. So there we go teachers in
Portugal this side of the Iberian Peninsula and in Spain prosecutors.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Possibly that's only one part of being an attorney, isn't it.
But there you go. I thought that was interesting. I
hope you do too.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
None of you are owning up to what you want
to what you wanted to be, or if you had
your time over again, what you wanted to be, what
you'd like to be.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh, very suspect.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Look suspects and poll are just two words that go
together naturally. Now, the career's talk at my school explained
where you go to sign on.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
It was the eighties.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Oh that is grim, that's almost depressed. As depressing as
depression evo, which I'll tell you about in just a moment.
The whole of Africa wants to be a lawyer. No,
that's not true. That's you've slanted that angle on it.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Peter, good morning to you.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
That's the top search. That doesn't mean that all of
Africa wants. And I'm still searching for the word where
you escalate, not correlate or escalate, but take some data
and then make it mean something, which is think. It's
what you've done there, Pete. I'm from Wales, the young Welsh.
You'll want to grow up to be the next Howard Marx.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
They pot of luck. I knocked him off. Oh they're
out of luck. I locked him off. The top spot
is that.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
The notable dealer of the devil's lettice, Howard Marx. Good
morning everyone, No, no, how are you take care of
the weather. It's really bad it is. It woke me
up at six o'clock this morning, and Pete, bless you.
Good sold santinage to you. A bit of a sneezing
fit over there in central Portugal. Quite a spectacular storm

(10:23):
here in Arkabaca this morning.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
We had a bit of that. Gary the cat was scared.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I hope you gave Gary the cat an extra special
petting this morning.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
It is amazing.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
We're watching a storm rolling across the guard Oh the
good Gardania mountains towards us. Amazing this morning. So we'll
let me tell you a bit more about that then.
And that was the news about Portuguese.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's funny, James, Good morning to you.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Top search in the US at the moment to be
an expat A right, excuse me? I think Poland was
the ice snorted then. I think Poland was the only
country where the top design the top job desired was
police officer.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
They're in Poland.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Interesting chart, huh Do you want the link to that?
I'll put it into the chat so you can have
a look for yourself in the top dream jobs. Blogger
was also in there. Doctor you I mean, I think
back in the day. Well, it's interesting, isn't it. You
see youngsters, so i'll use that word as well. Sound
like an old fart. They are using Google themselves. In

(11:26):
the old days, it would have been more a matter
of asking parents what they would like their children to be, right,
and I suppose these might be parental searchers as well. No,
probably not if you end up with DJ blogger and YouTuber. Anyway,
I wanted to be a lorry driver. Was it the
yorkey bars that you were attracted to?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Pam?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I like the little cabin or. I don't do what
Howard did. I just smoke more, smoking more than Howard
Marx is quite the claim there, Jackie. Although I can
see a puff of smoke from here in Portugal coming
up from your you can our boat there? Well, BlimE
me intoxicating, right, and where are we going to go?

(12:05):
Oh yeah, it's depression evo. And I've given you the
link to that, haven't I? If you want to probe
that some more. The it's remitly, I should say as well.
I picked it up in the Portuguese News, making it
sound like.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
An STD No.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
The Portugal News are featured it, obviously with a focus
on Portugal, and they were reporting on Remittley's poll there
remitte dot com, thank you for doing that. Right, Let's
say I have a look at the weather. Generally it's
not the Spartan effects weather page. This morning, we'll have
Sarah from Spartan her very self at twenty past.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Oh gosh, I need to crack on it. It's already sixteen
minutes past. Where does the time go? It seems to
be speeding up?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
And have you spotted the little duck yet on my
shrine of Portugal behind me? I think I might have
to move him around on the screen. Okay, so let's
go to the first weather.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Screen I want to bring you.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh yeah, that's the general weather picture then for Portugal
over at IPMA, and you can see a thick red
line of weather warning for central and upwards in Portugal.
Here I better give you this as well. Actually, this
the link to IPMA this morning. So it's a pretty
serious thick red line of warning along the coast. And

(13:29):
that would be on account of EVO. I will stop
sharing that for a moment whilst sharing the link to
it with you, and then tell you a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
About a news release from.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
The Institute which tells us about a depression EVO. And
I did see someone questioning why is that storms have
to have their own names these days? They were probably
numbers before, were they not? Anyway, I don't remember that
as a kid storms with names. You just had the
great storm of one particular year. You didn't have a

(14:02):
storm every week with a different name. Maybe that's why
they do have to have names now, because there's so
many of them, and a little bit of overreporting, let's
be honest, a little bit of overreporting right on this,
A little bit of meteorological terrorism, you might call it
as well. Things that we would have taken in our
stride back in the day. Oh, the wind's got above

(14:24):
five miles an hour, but to declare a storm warning,
I think it's.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
A bit of that going on quite frankly.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Anyway, enough of what I think, More of that later
with the Portuguese at seven o'clock. This evening EVO is
the name given by IPMA to a depression that, at
eighteen hundred us UTC on the twenty seventh of January
was centered at approximately forty six degrees north.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
This is very specialized, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Forty two west and a central atmospheric pressure of nine
hundred and ninety seven HPAs What on earth are they?
And is it expected to travel across the Atlantic in
a trough phase moving eastwards quick cough? Depression EVO is
expected to be centered in the Bay of Biscay region

(15:07):
that midday.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
That would be wodn't it?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
On the twenty ninth, So we're still in the middle
of EVO, but with a secondary core close to the
northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. That's what is of more
concern to us. Horrible if you're out in the Bay
of Biscay, they're right. Mainland Portugal is expected to feel
the effects of the cold frontal surface ooh, no one
wants that first thing in the morning with depression EVO
from the early hours of the twenty ninth of January.

(15:31):
So EVO is still in coming this evening and overnight,
with precipitation that will sometimes be heavy in the north
and center regions and which will gradually spread to the south,
although decreasing in intensity. The wind will increase in intensity,
blowing from the west southwest with gusts that could reach
values of around eighty to one hundred kilometers per hour

(15:52):
on the west coast and highlands, turning to the north
northwest from mid afternoon on the twenty ninth and remaining
strong it.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Sounds like the weather the.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Shipping forecast, doesn't it, and remaining strong until the end
of the afternoon on the thirtieth. Instant precipitation is expected
to occur in the form of snow at the highest
points of the.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Cellar Disteller dode do.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
My mother when she first arrived in the UK in
I think, yeah, it must have been the early sixties.
She used to listen to the shipping forecasts from the
Far East. She is from the Far East, and she
thought the shipping forecast sounded like a poem.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Isn't that beautiful?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
And that, friends, is depression evo, which you need to
watch out for.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
And I've got to tell you, I've.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Got to tell you, excuse me getting excited in morning
dog about the party that's going to be happening.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh, if I sent the.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Link out, I don't think I've sent the link out
of I to my colleagues who are joining me at
eight twenty. Oh oh oh, Sarah, I'll be looking for
that now, let me and I didn't. Aaron will kill me.
Is this what you call British efficiency?

Speaker 2 (17:03):

So let me just.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Let me just send that link to Sarah. And where
are you, Marion Gerret of walk Spiria.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
There's the link.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay, Hopefully they'll be able to find that and join
us in just a moment. The other bit of news
uplifting you, something to look forward to. Yeah, morning, Dougie,
good to see it. Morning all as well.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
