Constructive feedback from a long time watcher.... Please please please record your videos with a higher max volume.This has been an issue with past content but now that you are making this much longer content, its much more of a challenge. A higher volume allows the people who watch youtube on their smart tv's to actually watch and listen in a household where there are other sounds nearby. Also, with Simon's soft sentence transitional tone, it makes him easier to understand to non-british listeners. Keep up the nice work folks! And make sure you let Simon outside every once in awhile.
I agree. Also, the background music is very loud in places to the point that it drowns Simon out. It takes a lot of the impact away from what he's saying if you can't hear him.

One problem with uk armed forces recruitment is that the high street recruiting offices were closed several years ago. You could walk into a recruiting office, talk to an actual member of whichever branch you were interested in, and potential be in uniform just a matter of weeks later. Under the new system one of those widely discredited contracting companies the government uses ( frequently at some financial benefit to some member of the government or their relative) is hopelessly inefficient and completely not fit for purpose. The process takes months, by which time many potential recruits have gone off to do something else in frustration.
I really appreciate the effort this channel makes to write about the most recent current events, even though it must be a lot of work to get a time-sensitive video out quickly.
@SafetySpooon Not dude, it's not our problem. Let the rest of the world take care of these problems. Because even if we help people will still b**** and complain and yell at us and frankly it's getting annoying. The lack of appreciation. I honestly want to turn America back into an isolationist country for 1 year. Just so the world can learn a lesson
@@drewwar9344 A quote from spider-man with great power comes great responsibility. If no one steps up against the bad than how will there ever been any good in this world.
That's actually a really good segment om the situation in Kenya. I'd like to add that the government also throttled the internet (after saying they wouldn't surprise surprise). the president also called the protesters "treasonous criminals" imagine that
Fun fact: a bunch of spy novels and spy movies were made based off the experiences of spies like Ian Fleming and in a few cases like one of the James Bond films they even had real spies as actors. During the cold war some spies got bored and their books were basically just fanfics of what they wished they were doing but some stories were written by guys who did real stuff like this during WW2.

When mindlessly scroll through youtube a new situation room will always make me pay attention. Always appreciated succinct reports on strories that need to be talked about more in the mainstream as a rule.
@@vinny7114 Agreed, there's also sometimes a repetitive tone in some of the background music, only in one side of the audio. I can't finish the episodes that have that background music.
I ahree, in the last couple of videos I had to increase the volume on my cell phone to the max to be able to hear wverything welland this is the only youtube content I have to do that for. Please fix it Simon and the crew. Thanks in advance. 👍
Honestly, having boring elections is kind of a democratic flex. Shows a calm society that’s confident in the system and feels no need to take drastic measures. I’m kinda jealous honestly
That might be true in general, but I don't think it is true in this case. It seems like Britain is the worst its ever been since Thatcher. I would argue that the solutions have to come from outside of the major parties. Health care in crisis, and the response is at least it isn't as bad as America, like that is the only other choice.
@@richdobbs6595 What does in two years mean when I am pointing to the cause of the issue with NHS is that Tories cutting funding to it. The Tories screw your rail system over and now screwing over your health care.
Love this regular segment, but one critique. The background music isn’t “background.” It’s louder than the dialogue, especially on the last segment. Was unable to finish the video with closed caption.
Ah, ok, the _very_ end. I otherwise found it ok. Just fun aside for the algorithm: I like your user name and zebras are indeed strong as humanity has failed to domesticate them
I often watch several videos back to back and the audio quality can vary wildly. It's likely different teams working on different segments or channels but surely they can make sure that the quality microphones stay with Simon?
I have noticed it is far more common (than others) in TH-cam clips or other output from UK with irritating high background music. Mood before content it seams.
Yet ppl complain that America need to do more to solve the problems and protect international maritime trade .. while crying they don't have the 100% interception rate they expect.
@@THE-X-Force Do some people really expect a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT interception rate??? Is that even possible without every single god under, who are, and above the sun on one's side?
These are probably the same people who just want the attacks intercepted but don't want the military to be pulverizing a small nation with gulf war levels of firepower. Which is probably what is going to be required.
What concerns me most is not what Simon is reporting on but how most of the comments seem to be more concerned about his music than the actual content, especially what’s happening in Sudan and the attacks on shipping
That's one thing that does bother me about some of his videos. Like half the top comments are about Simon's clothes, jokes about how many videos/channels he's on, or complaints about something petty like the music or a mispronounciation
I always enjoy your videos. This one though has a bit much of the hard s-frequencies. Making it a bit more difficult to listen to. 😢 Just a bit of constructive feedback. (Watching on an iPhone with its speakers) /audio engineer student
Well, it's not as crisp as usual, true, but as a life long metalhead with plenty of concerts behind me (meaning my hearing is well and truly fucked) I can still hear just fine.
1. Please make the video louder. This is the quietest video I've ever seen. 2. Mix better. The music at the end was louder than the voice. 3. Use DeEsser.
American here 🙋🏽♀️ I find "Tories" and "Labor" very confusing. Are Tories essentially Republicans and Labor essentially Democrats in terms of my country's politics?
Anyone Muslim nations want to report the Sudan war for possible genocide? ANYONE WILL DO. Curious low interest in this conflict, no Jews involved though so makes sense. “Unfortunately we have to wipe them all out, including the children” South Africa is crickets now for some reason, the victims are even black africans but still, crickets.
The UK needs to look at Argentina for inspiration as to how to fix their financial situation. The only way they could be taking in record high taxes and still have massive shortfalls in their budget is if they're funding useless crap and being highly inefficient in what they're spending on the important stuff.
Why does the editor mess up on keeping the video audible at mid or lower volume level???? Already Simon's hiss cannot be removed but low volume video makes it more annoying.
As soon as a protest turns violent, it's not a protest. It's a riot. Riots are related to a protests. Rioting is kind of like protesting's less friendly cousin. A riot can be done with a fervor of resistance to something much like a protest. However, it does not meet the qualifications to be a protest and has consequences far more dire than a protest. More often than not a riot will galvanize the rioters' opponents. It will make them all the more willing to perform an action the rioters didn't want. The collateral damage of the riot will also bolster the ranks of the opponents.
The SBU, with the help of CIA and MI6 "obtained admissions of guilt around war crimes." I wonder how those were "obtained." Did it involve water perhaps?
His team probably writes this up because it's a lot to do in one day especially when you have eight other channels. Simon is really just a host --- a very good one at that.
remember that time the coalition launched a really tepid counterstrike against the houthi rebels, and we were told we had severely diminished the houthis capabilities. .. lol
There are more than 50,000 container ships currently operating on the high seas at anyone time. The Houthis campaign has killed a total of four sailors, seized one vessel and sunk two since November. People are losing their minds. 🤨

“I have no enemies.”
Simon walks by.
“I have one enemy.”
Yea I had to go back and see if I heard that right. Simon doesn't watch anime I thought
The farming arc is great though. Wouldn't call it dull at all.
I think the writers like to troll Simon with references that he has no idea of.
I don't know which writer wrote this episode but with this he no longer can say "I have no enemies" cuz he just made one >:C
