Here's how that one ended 46 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: and wowser's what a chat that was and you'll hear 47 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: the questions that we could not put to wear tomorrow 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: where'd you go? In the statement released yesterday, the host said, 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: We've loved our time together on TODAYFM Breakfast. However, due 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: to some of our families living in different cities, we 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: are unable to commit to twenty twenty five. So with 52 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: a heavy heart, we are moving aside, so TODAYFM confine 53 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: the team to take them forward in Breakfast. Finally, street 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: artist Banksy has been a busy boy, with three artworks 55 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: popping up around London in three days now. They're all 56 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: animal themed. One show's again the Oak perched on top 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: of a wall. Another shows two elephants with their trunks 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: stretched towards each other, and the third is of three monkeys. 59 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: What does it all mean? While our experts think Banksy 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: is trying to get us to think and reflect about 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: the ecological crisis that threatens humanity, of course Banksy doesn't 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: explain what it's all about. So then again, maybe he 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: just likes animals. All right.
