Newsnight

What's the Italian for 'not bothered'?

"Newsnight viewers, being a sophisticated lot, have no need of translation," said Jeremy - and it appears he was right.

Or perhaps you thought a Newsnight prize sounded pretty unappealing..

But just in case there is anyone at the back of the class who didn't understand what the new England manager said - here is the Newsnight translation:

"Being manager of a national team is very different to being a manager who can work with a team day in day out. So we have to all adjust our behaviour - manager and players. Because all of us in that moment come to represent a nation - we have an important jersey we have to wear."

What Capello meant was "I am glad to be rich and only have to work two days a year from now on."
You can see the future headlines
"Fabio England win again"
or
"Capelload of crap"
or something like that.
Still, someone has to do the job who knows a bit about psychology.

Maybe you should invite Mr Mardell onto tonight's show for comment and his usual insightful analysis into the diplomatic incident over Miss Belgium's inability to speak Flemish.. In no way is this an excuse to show coverage of allegedly attractive European women parading around in 'angelic' swimsuit costumes...

Oh no, this is a serious event in the linguistically divided, government free land of the Belgians..
