hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. i refuse to quit. south carolina will vote on saturday. but on sunday, i'll still be running for president. i'm not going anywhere. we have to do what's good for our party, _ we have to do what's good for our party, and — we have to do what's good for our party, and she was up, but she's doing _ party, and she was up, but she's doing a _ party, and she was up, but she's doing a speech like she won. she didn't_ doing a speech like she won. she didn't win, — doing a speech like she won. she didn't win, she lost. joining us on our panel tonight is tara setmayer, a resident scholar at the uva's center for politics and former communication director for the republican party, and peter walker, political correspondent for the guardian.

nikki haley says she won't drop out of the presidential bid even if she loses in south carolina. at the united nations security council, the united states again vetoes a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in gaza. the world health organization says it's led high—risk missions to save critical patients from gaza's nasser hospital under siege from israel. good evening. the republican primary in south carolina is four days away, and were the state's former governor nikki haley to win it, it would probably be the biggest upset since buster douglas duffed up mike tyson. itjust ain't going to happen. the latest poll out today from usa today puts her almost 30 points behind donald trump, with an even slimmer chance ahead.

even if haley reprised her modest success in new hampshire, in every state that is voting over the next four weeks, trump would still be over the threshold by march 19th, when the big states like florida, illinois and ohio hold their winner—take—all primaries. so, this afternoon, the speculation was growing that maybe a concession was in the offing — but not a bit of it. i hear from the american people, too. i hear from the american people, too that's — i hear from the american people, too. that's why i refuse to quit. south _ too. that's why i refuse to quit. south carolina will vote on saturday, but on sunday, i'll still be writing — saturday, but on sunday, i'll still be writing for president. i'm not going _ be writing for president. i'm not going anywhere. be writing for president. i'm not going anywhere-— and in case you don't believe her, her team provided new details this afternoon about plans post—south carolina. she's spending more than $500,000 on a new tv ad set to run in michigan tomorrow. and after sunday, she has a travel schedule that takes in nine states. the schedule includes at least ten high—dollar, private fundraising events.

the truth is that, in spite of it all, haley is raising money at the fastest rate of her political career. so what is going on? (pres)lets speak to our panel , a resident scholar kara, what is going on? the biggest uift kara, what is going on? the biggest aift for her kara, what is going on? the biggest gift for her is _ kara, what is going on? the biggest gift for her is donald _ kara, what is going on? the biggest gift for her is donald trump - gift for her is donald trump continuing to attack her, which is canteen is continuing to do. you should evasively but bit —— basically ignore her and act as if he is the nominee, because i firmly believe there is no path from nikki haley. what's fuelling her is the fact that she's still able to raise money and everyone knows that money is gravely important in politics, and as long as their donors out there willing to fund her, she will stay in this race continue to control trump for as long as she possibly can. —— two

troll trump. something between now and the convention, she gathers delegates, and they can make a move at the convention. this is what ted cruz tried to do last time around in 2016, and it failed miserably for him. ultimately, he acquiesced and supported donald trump, which i think is where nikki haley will end “p think is where nikki haley will end up in the end. think is where nikki haley will end up in the end-— up in the end. let's pick up one thou~ht up in the end. let's pick up one thought that — up in the end. let's pick up one thought that if _ up in the end. let's pick up one thought that if something - up in the end. let's pick up one i thought that if something happens up in the end. let's pick up one - thought that if something happens to him. peter, let me put the calendar on the screen for people. you'll understand what might be going on here. 0bviously, understand what might be going on here. obviously, you have understand what might be going on here. obviously, you have the understand what might be going on here. obviously, you have the south carolina primary. somewhere between that date and the republican national convention, we may get the start of the federal election interference case in washington. so, are they betting that at some point, his presidency or his nomination becomes untenable in the course of that two or three

trump praising putin and using the navalny murder as a way to complain about his own situation in the us. saying he wouldn't support nato. these are all things that are concerning at home and abroad. what it unlocks for him, it really wouldn't be any different. he is basically the proverbial nominee at this point, and he's raising money. the rmc has his people there soon and it's going to be an extension of his campaign. it really wouldn't change the calculus at all for him other than he can't help himself but to attack nikki haley because of his narcissism. i to attack nikki haley because of his narcissism. , , ,.,, to attack nikki haley because of his narcissism. , , ., ., , ., narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you were nikki — narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you were nikki haley _ narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you were nikki haley and _ narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you were nikki haley and submit - narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you were nikki haley and submit that i narcissism. i suppose, tara, if you i were nikki haley and submit that you are the alternative, bowing out now after new hampshire, you perhaps bring in the rest of the field back in iowa. but if you stay in longer all the way tojuly in iowa. but if you stay in longer all the way to july and in iowa. but if you stay in longer all the way tojuly and august, you were the second candidate, you are

strategy in politics. the alternative. but hope is not a strategy in politics.— alternative. but hope is not a strategy in politics. the one point that really matters,... _ in the poll that really matters, the one between the president and not—so—hypothetical nomination of donald trump — it is biden who is trailing. the president's support verges on anaemic. verges on anaemic to the point that concerns about his candidacy can no longer be written off as democratic "bed—wetting — which is strange when you compare their respective record. remember this is one of those rare elections in which both candidates have been president. and a survey of the presidential historians ranks president biden as the 14th best president in us history. the former president trump comes in last at number a5. 154 historians were consulted, they are current and recent members of the american political science association. they were asked to give each president a score from 0 to 100. justin vaughn is associate professor of political science at coastal carolina university and one of the two academics who conducted the presidential greatness project.

i'v e i've never seen them scored before. what measures do you use to assess? that's a great question. we leave it up that's a great question. we leave it up to the assessment of the individual respondent. they're all experts on presidential politics and learn its dollars. but we don't prescribe a definition upfront —— learned scholars. instead, every scholar takes their own perspective. i think the general consensus has been those presidents who have led the nation through times of great crisis, who have expanded or evolved the institution of the presidency, who have played a heroic role in important moments, the ones we typically will associate with being great. typically will associate with being areat. �* ., ., , ., ,. great. i'm going to put on screen some ofjoe — great. i'm going to put on screen some ofjoe biden's _ great. i'm going to put on screen l some of joe biden's achievements. some ofjoe biden's achievements. what confuses a lot on the democratic side is that he finds it difficult to run on this record.

it's quite an extensive record. there's plenty in that list that you should be able to build to come —— build a campaign on that score is quite high among the historians. why is he failing? i quite high among the historians. why is he failin: ? ~ quite high among the historians. why is he failing?— is he failing? i think... i agree that i is he failing? i think... i agree that i think — is he failing? i think... i agree that l think he _ is he failing? i think... i agree that i think he could _ is he failing? i think... i agree i that i think he could probably... not a very strong campaign on those issues that moderate voters are very pleased with. kind of polarising or hyper progressive, that would maybe alienate a moderate voter. i think maybe his inner campaign team believe that the best pitch he's got is still that he's not president trump. but it's not four years ago, when he was the candidate on the outside looking in. now he's the president with four years of record and probably beneficial to remind americans of what he's accomplished. there is a nostalgia would within

the republican base for donald trump's presidency. they could probably say this was a stick shut from academia, politically biased. what would you say to that? i what would you say to that? i say that in surveys — what would you say to that? i say that in surveys like _ what would you say to that? i say that in surveys like this, - what would you say to that? i 3: that in surveys like this, people often kind of want to see how their quy often kind of want to see how their guy performs, and if they don't like how their favourite president or preferred partisan performs, they will view the survey as illegitimate. that's kind of a normal in terms of these exercises. i'll say that, while it can be simultaneously true that more democrats than republicans participate in these kinds of exercises, that they also are all professional scholars who i think most of the time, are wearing their scholar hat when they're filling out these surveys and not there partisan and political hat. let me bring in our panel. peter,

130 patients and at least 15 doctors and nurses remain in the hospital. the pressure for a humanitarian ceasefire is mounting, and in washington, the mood has certainly shifted. the americans again vetoed a call for a permanent ceasefire today, but they have circulated their own draught within the security council, that calls for a six—week �*temporary�* ceasefire. not entirely different you might think from its previously—held position — but within that resolution is condemnation of israeli settlement activity, a rejection of the idf�*s plans for a buffer zone, and a warning that any advance into rafah would result in further harm to civilians. there's also been a change in direction for labour. as pressure mounts from his backbenchers, keir starmer is now backing a call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. hoping to stave off a mass labour rebellion, ahead of a crunch vote in the commons wednesday brought by the snp. their motion calls for a permanent ceasefire. here is the opposition leader at a scottish labour conference in glasgow on sunday

is becoming a major problem for him in the campaign. is becoming a ma'or problem for him in the campaign.— in the campaign. yeah. i think the administration's _ in the campaign. yeah. i think the administration's looking _ in the campaign. yeah. i think the administration's looking for- administration's looking for balance, but we're five months into this war. the president has demonstrated support for the idea of israel and the people of israel and the security of israel. i don't see that fundamentally changing unless the israelis do something so egregious and out of bounds that forces the president's hand. american presidents, and i've worked for both sides, don't usually like to fight and have sustained public conversations. it's awkward, it's messy, it's literally costly and in most cases, not all, it usually proves to be counterproductive. so, i don't predict a break between netanyahu and biden for one simple reason. one fundamental fact rests on — can the us broker and an

agreement between israel and hamas that leads to a period of extended quiet, de—escalation of the military action? and freeing the hostages. if the us cannot produce that, you might as well hang a closed for the season sign on british policy as well as us policy. and for that, mr biden needs mr netanyahu and war cabinets agreement. you biden needs mr netanyahu and war cabinets agreement.— cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or — cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or not _ cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or not he _ cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or not he has _ cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or not he has any - cabinets agreement. you can argue whether or not he has any levers i whether or not he has any levers over netanyahu policy, but ultimately it falls to hamas. it doesn't stop until the hostages come out. i doesn't stop until the hostages come out. ~ ., �* . doesn't stop until the hostages come out. ~ . �*,'::::h doesn't stop until the hostages come out. ~ .�*,'::::f �*, out. i think that's 100% right. it's almost unimaginable _ out. i think that's 10096 right. it's almost unimaginable to - out. i think that's 10096 right. it's almost unimaginable to consider| almost unimaginable to consider a day after or the day after the day after with hamas holding 134 israelis, 30 of whom either died on october the 7th, their bodies taken to trade to gaza or died in

captivity. it's unimaginable that anything of positive consequence is going to happen until those hostages are freed, and probably in an asymmetrical trade which will force the israelis to free, i would say, ten times the number of hostages that they're going to redeem. peter, in response to the prince of wales intervention today, downing street said all the uk needs to be on the same page, all leaders need to speak to the same song sheet. do you get the sense tomorrow that that will be the case? in you get the sense tomorrow that that will be the case?— will be the case? in one sense, yes, in one sense. _ will be the case? in one sense, yes, in one sense. no- — will be the case? in one sense, yes, in one sense, no. in _ will be the case? in one sense, yes, in one sense, no. in the _ will be the case? in one sense, yes, in one sense, no. in the first - in one sense, no. in the first sentence. _ in one sense, no. in the first sentence, most political parties are shifting _ sentence, most political parties are shifting towards a smilar—ish point

irish sea coasts, northern and eastern parts of scotland could see the strongest gusts. the rain splashing its way eastward through the morning. into the afternoon, starts to push out into the north sea. skies brighten up behind it, but it does remain blustery for all areas. some showers running into northern and western scotland, but it will hang back, i think, across eastern england with regards to the cloud and the rain. but these temperatures again above the seasonal norm — 11—13 celsius. as we head through wednesday night, it's dry for a time. then we see another area of low pressure gathering force out west. it'll bring a band of showery rain into northern and western areas. that rain starts to pep up, begins to cross england and wales. again, a fairly mild night to come across the south, something a bit cooler working its way into northern and western areas. that's a sign of things to come as we head through thursday. as this low pressure system, with its heavy rain and strong winds across the south, spreads across the country and pushes on in towards the north sea, it starts to open the floodgates to a much colder west—northwestly. that's when you can see that's evident here with the blue colours,

not particularly very cold, but certainly colder than what we've had over the last week or so. so, a rather unsettled, wet day to come, i think, for much of the country, certainly england and wales on thursday, windy in the south. as the rain pulls away, the colder air starts to move in, so those showers begin to turn wintry over the higher ground of northern and western hills. and notice the temperatures as well — it will be noticeable, 5—9 degrees. factor in the wind, it'll feel colder than that. it stays fairly unsettled into the weekend. sunshine and showers again, these wintry over northern sunshine and showers, again, these wintry over northern and western hills and nights will be turning colder with some frost.
