i didn't. meatloaf was completely larger than life on stage and, and off. he, as you said, he's is best known perhaps for his i'm his 1st album about out of hell, which is one of the best selling albums of all time. and in total he's, i think for something like $100000000.00 albums worldwide. i'm and it's in some ways odd because he broke all the rules and he wasn't anyone's idea of what a rock star should look like. what a rock star should sound like. i mean his, his songs were, i'm almost operatic, incredibly long, incredibly dramatic. a my favorite a paradise by the dashboard. light was 8 and a half minutes long. i mean that's, that's crazy for, for a pop song. but somehow, a meatloaf broke through and reached to really an international global audience. and an audience that i think is truly missing today. so what set him apart as a singer and as a performer? well, i think what i mentioned the fact that he was,

he was incredibly dramatic. i mean, he came from stage musicals originally and he brought that sort of sense to of the rock stage as well. and i think that was also one of the reasons he wasn't taken as seriously in the pop music industry. he said himself that people saw more of us as a circus clown and a serious a performer. it was only really internationally that he got a kind of recognition that he thought he deserved, particularly in the u. k. o. where and potentially idolized him. and i think, as i said, these incredibly long, almost operatic songs that he produced um and, and his singing style, which was incredibly varied. i mean, i think i put him somewhere between a mix between a janis joplin and freddy mercury. i mean, he had incredible range, incredibly powerful voice and a really unique figure in pop, music architect corresponded scot rocks were there. thank you. of scott america's top diplomat, antony blinking is in geneva to meet with russian foreign minister,

and that's what we urgently call on russia to take steps towards steve collation, you divide act any further, aggression would have serious consequences. see it? would it not even the cons extensive, nasty thing, but comments by the us president a day earlier, have right questions about whether those consequences really do apply to any active aggression. one 3rd, russia will be held accountable. if it invades, it depends on what it does. it's one thing for 2 minor corrosion, and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not to which cetera. but if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the force, the mask on the border, it is going to be a disaster for russia. the white house later tried to clarify, insisting that the west would react come, what may. but the issue has highlighted questions over what level of aggression

would trigger what kind of response the u. s. has made it clear that it would expect berlin to target the controversial nod stream to pipeline which linked germany to russian gas. it's also worth noting that gas is not flowing through nor string to yet, which means that the pipeline is leverage for germany, the united states and our allies, not russia. for now though, there is another round of diplomacy coming up, antony blinkin will meet his russian counterpart in geneva on friday, seen as one of the last chances to find a way of avoiding war. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. mexicans in the border city of pseudo who artists are demanding justice for a murder to lesbian. couple. activists marched to the attorney general's office seeking harsh punishment for the perpetrators. on sunday police found the dismembered remains of the 2 women on a road. so at,
