welcome to heart talk and today i am on the shores of italy's lake como at an annual opportunity for politicians on both sides of the atlantic to gather and talk geopolitics. and this year there is one

dominant issue, the us led pull—out from afghanistan. now that it pull—out from afghanistan. now thatitis pull—out from afghanistan. now that it is done, how does america see itself? and its global role? well, my guess is an influential american lindsey graham, a close confidant of donald trump. is america first now a bipartisan consensus? senator lindsey graham, welcome. america is sacrificing no more blood and treasure in afghanistan, isn't that a source of profound relief to the american people? ma. source of profound relief to the american people? no. i think most _ the american people? no. i think most americans - the american people? no. i think most americans are l the american people? no. i - think most americans are upset that we left our afghan allies behind and i think most

americans are upset that we left american citizens behind enemy lines and a lot of americans wanted to wash their hands of afghanistan. it has been 20 years.— hands of afghanistan. it has been 20 years. that is what the olls been 20 years. that is what the polls say. _ been 20 years. that is what the polls say. the — been 20 years. that is what the polls say, the american - been 20 years. that is what the polls say, the american public. polls say, the american public had had enough. but polls say, the american public had had enough.— polls say, the american public had had enough. but not now. if ou had had enough. but not now. if you asked _ had had enough. but not now. if you asked them _ had had enough. but not now. if you asked them if _ had had enough. but not now. if you asked them if they - had had enough. but not now. if you asked them if they were - you asked them if they were worried the majority said we should not have left. democracies have always been schizophrenic about this. if you talk about making afghanistan a democracy there is not a whole lot of support. if you talk about having some of our troops over there so that radical is the moment hit as at home, there is support. the problem with people in the business is that we have never talked to the american people about why it matters about afghanistan. everyone remembers 9/11, it is a week away. but we never made a case of an indirect presence. the likelihood of people helping us in the future against radical islam has gone down. the likelihood of al-qaeda and isis hate hitting us again has gone up. hate hitting us again has gone u . _ , hate hitting us again has gone u, , ., ~' hate hitting us again has gone up. lets talk about the politics _ up. lets talk about the politics of _

do so if they wanted to.- do so if they wanted to. came on a minute. _ do so if they wanted to. came on a minute. you _ do so if they wanted to. came on a minute. you matter. - do so if they wanted to. came on a minute. you matter. you are one of donald trump's closest confidant. are you acknowledging he got this horribly wrong? i acknowledging he got this horribly wrong?— acknowledging he got this horribly wrong? i think you made the _ horribly wrong? i think you made the mistake - horribly wrong? i think you made the mistake of- horribly wrong? i think you - made the mistake of negotiating with the taliban without the afghan government. i would have done it differently. find done it differently. and releasing _ done it differently. and releasing those - done it differently. and releasing those 5000 l done it differently. and releasing those 5000 fighters? not so much that. how does the war end? reconciliation between war end ? reconciliation between the war end? reconciliation between the taliban and afghan people at large. negotiating to end the war makes perfect sense to me. allowing the taliban to take over the country militarily makes no sense to me. and there were conditions on the deal with trumper they could not do that so, whether you blame trump biden here is what awaits us as a western world. those who fought along our side are going to make a very terrible demise and they are going to be treated very poorly. and our likelihood of having friends in the future to deal with the radical islamic threats goes down. and if you

don't think al-qaeda and isis are planning ways to hit us right now from afghanistan, i think you are making a grave mistake. to think you are making a grave mistake. ., , , ., mistake. to be blunt about it joe mistake. to be blunt about it joe biden _ mistake. to be blunt about it joe biden echoing _ mistake. to be blunt about it joe biden echoing the - joe biden echoing the sentiments donald trump has told the american people we are no longer in the business of nation building, fighting for other wars and other peoples behalf. so when you talk about the people living in fear in kabul today, the horrible situation facing women who think their rights be abused and eroded, the message from america is, we don't and we cannot care about that and put our forces in harms cannot care about that and put ourforces in harms way cannot care about that and put our forces in harms way for that. i our forces in harms way for that. ., ., our forces in harms way for that. ~ ., , our forces in harms way for that. ~ . , g ., that. i think that is the joe biden message _ that. i think that is the joe biden message which - that. i think that is the joe biden message which is i that. l think that is the joe . biden message which is dumb that. i think that is the joe - biden message which is dumb as dirt. let me tell you why i thinkjoe biden has been wrong for almost 20 years on the star. joe biden does not see the existential threat from afghanistan to the american homeland. how did we get attacked 20 years ago, september 11? the taliban gave al-qaeda a safe haven to plan and plot against america and

the soldiers who were there, the soldiers who were there, the british soldiers, the nato forces, the american forces, whether to give the capability to the afghan military said that the taliban would take over the country and give safe haven to radical islamic groups who would attack us. and the caliphate was formed syria and iraq 20 countries got hit in 2000 people got hit. here is what we're trying to tell the american people. the residual counterterrorism force made up of nato members and us special forces is an insurance policy against another 9/11. president biden is trying to tell the american people there is no national security interest in afghanistan and he is dead wrong. the nato were willing to stay in afghanistan if we stayed. we chose not to stay. they could stay if we left. so you may be fighting radical islam, they are not tired of fighting you. i islam, they are not tired of fighting yon-— islam, they are not tired of fighting you. i am again very mindful of— fighting you. i am again very mindful of the _ fighting you. i am again very mindful of the fact _ fighting you. i am again very mindful of the fact that, - fighting you. i am again very mindful of the fact that, for| mindful of the fact that, for the last few years, you have been one of donald trump is my

biggest cheerleaders in us congress. was donald trump who called nato obsolete. it is donald trump who has developed a toxic relationship between the united states and much of europe and other partners around the world. it was donald trump, frankly, who seemed much more confident to do it but comfortable dealing with authoritarians. alchemy were great support if you now feel the way you do? i great support if you now feel the way you do?— great support if you now feel the way you do? i have always felt nato was _ the way you do? i have always felt nato was a _ the way you do? i have always felt nato was a good - the way you do? i have always felt nato was a good partner. | felt nato was a good partner. donald trump got nato to up its game, to contribute more. donald trump took a military and the united states, that was pretty well depleted, and made it a strong ties been since ronald reagan. he it a strong ties been since ronald reagan.— it a strong ties been since ronald reagan. he was the america first _ ronald reagan. he was the america first president. - ronald reagan. he was the america first president. he | america first president. he planted the seeds of isolationism that we see today in your country. i isolationism that we see today in your country.— in your country. i would say let'sjudge _ in your country. i would say let'sjudge him _ in your country. i would say let'sjudge him based - in your country. i would say let'sjudge him based on i in your country. i would say i let'sjudge him based on what he did. he destroyed the caliphate. 0k. it rose on obama and biden's watch and trump

sent the military into destroyed. and he left about 2500 us soldiers on the ground with nato allies. they are no longer there. with nato allies. they are no longerthere. he with nato allies. they are no longer there. he rebuilt the military in a fashion where we can be effective all over the globe. the deterioration of the military during the obama years was real. he was my point. whether you like trump or not, whether you believe it is his fault biden's bowled here is where we are at as a world. the taliban are not reformed. they are not new. they have a view of the world out of sync with modern times. they're going to pose a lifestyle on the afghan people. that i think is going to make us all stick to our stomach but most importantly, they are going to get safe haven to al-qaeda who have ambitions to drive us out of the mid east at large and attack us because of our way of life. we'll be going back into afghanistan as he went back into iraq and syria. to

seriously _ into iraq and syria. to seriously think the united states will once again in the foreseeable future put troops back into afghanistan. latte foreseeable future put troops back into afghanistan. we will have two because _ back into afghanistan. we will have two because the - back into afghanistan. we will have two because the threat l have two because the threat will be so large. why do we go back to syria and iraq? why do we have 5000 troops in iraq today? because of the caliphate rising, killing americans, killing the french, attacking the british. so, yes, it will be a cauldron for a radical islamic behaviour. you cannot with this over the horizon. he was my solution. help the resistance. the taliban will not be able to govern afghanistan for that they hated ljy afghanistan for that they hated by the afghan people. what will happen over time as you will see the resistance rise. isis will come after the taliban large and the entire country is going to fracture in the next year. creating a perfect storm for western interest to be attacked. you can do one of two things. you can say, that's no longer my problem and that it

more vaccines we can get out the better. i would like to give more vaccines to africa. i think we don't do that we are all going to pay a heavy price. here is what is going to determine 2022 in the united states. this is hard to talk. your view of the american political system i think is not right. i think you're missing the elephant in the room. i think you don't quite understand the dynamic in america that the reason the republican party will come back is because the policy agenda of president biden has not worked. that the policy agenda president trump looks better by the day. that the average person does the republican party some kind of extremist group of people waking up everyday trying to change america. i think that is the narrative that has been pushed that will not hold, will not stand the test of time. there was one of— stand the test of time. there was one of the _ stand the test of time. there was one of the specific- stand the test of time. there was one of the specific area | was one of the specific area want to quickly touch on and thatis want to quickly touch on and that is the state of texas's decision to introduce a new

abortion law which, in essence, would make unlawful any abortion after six weeks. now, this common to many americans, looks like a fundamental challenge to the roe v wade rights of women to get an abortion. it rights of women to get an abortion-— rights of women to get an abortion.- your- rights of women to get an | abortion.- your party, rights of women to get an i abortion.- your party, it abortion. it is. your party, it seems. _ abortion. it is. your party, it seems, wants _ abortion. it is. your party, it seems, wants to _ abortion. it is. your party, it seems, wants to go - abortion. it is. your party, it seems, wants to go out - abortion. it 3 your party, it seems, wants to go out there and overturn a woman's right to and overturn a woman's right to an abortion. is that correct? that is right. the republican party believes that roe v wade, a judicial decision prohibiting elected representatives to have any say about the issue was an overreach but by the course... watch. this completed issue about when we should intervene, when should we stand up for the rights of the unborn, will take place if the court sets aside roe v wade.— place if the court sets aside roe v wade. but what is not complicated _ roe v wade. but what is not complicated is _ roe v wade. but what is not complicated is that - roe v wade. but what is not complicated is that poll - roe v wade. but what is not j complicated is that poll after poll of many years she was majority of americans believe in a women's right to choose.

you would do differently. how you would do differently. how you would change the country vis—a—vis what biden is doing. help us pick the most competitive candidates who can win in the states that matter and they really are only a handful of states. president trump helps us as republicans regain the house and the senate than i think he, it is nomination if he wants it and i would say... nomination if he wants it and i would say- - -— would say... you talk to him a lot. all would say... you talk to him a lot- all the — would say... you talk to him a lot. all the time. _ would say... you talk to him a lot. all the time. does - would say... you talk to him a lot. all the time. does he - would say... you talk to him a | lot. all the time. does he want it? yes, lot. all the time. does he want it? yes. i— lot. all the time. does he want it? yes, i don't— lot. all the time. does he want it? yes, i don't want _ lot. all the time. does he want it? yes, i don't want to - lot. all the time. does he want it? yes, i don't want to speak. it? yes, i don't want to speak for him but — it? yes, i don't want to speak for him but i _ it? yes, i don't want to speak for him but i think— it? yes, i don't want to speak for him but i think he - it? yes, i don't want to speak for him but i think he has - for him but i think he has unfinished business and he believes policy is to put in place worked for the country. and it is very upset by what he sees stage and mystically and i think the american people are going to have another say about donald trump.— donald trump. senator lindsey said were out _ donald trump. senator lindsey said were out of _ donald trump. senator lindsey said were out of time. - donald trump. senator lindsey said were out of time. thank. said were out of time. thank you very much. said were out of time. thank you very much-— said were out of time. thank you very much. thank you. -- mike senator— you very much. thank you. --

mike senator lindsey - you very much. thank you. --| mike senator lindsey graham, sadly we are out of time. hello there. sunday was a warm, sunny day for most, hot for some along the south coast. we saw temperatures peaking at 27 celsius in west sussex — that's 80 fahrenheit. we haven't seen temperatures like that in england since the end ofjuly. now, there was some cloud around, and you can see in the highland, the cloud thick enough for some rain, some of it heavy at times. and in fact, that weather front still continues to bring some outbreaks of rain as it moves its way steadily south into the north of england. it is weakening off as it bumps into this area of high pressure, so a band of cloud and a few spots of rain towards dawn. a mild start for all, maybe some mist and fog lingering across south wales and southwest england. but once that list, there'll be plenty of sunshine for england and wales once again, and the temperatures are set to climb. even a weak weather front will start to ease away

and some sunshine comes through eastern england and northeast scotland. a light breeze coming from a southerly direction. that means it's driving up that warm, dry air, so temperatures peaking potentially once again at 27 degrees. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, will high pressure influencing the story, and as the winds move around in a clockwise direction, well, that means that the wind direction is coming from a southeasterly, driving in this warm, dry air from the near continent. in actual fact, with a little bit more of the breeze around potentially on tuesday, that's going to break up that cloud. the sunshine is going to be fairly widespread right across the country, bar the exception perhaps for the western isles. temperatures will be a little bit warmer in scotland, peaking at 25 celsius. we might see 28 or 29 somewhere across central or southern england. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, again, still plenty of warm, sunny weather, but there is the potential for a few sharp, thundery showers towards the end of the day to develop down into the southwest, tied into another area of low pressure.

so, here, not quite as warm, but again, we're still likely to see those temperatures peaking into the high 20s. that means that thursday will start to see a change as areas of low pressure move and off the atlantic, the wind direction changing once again and we'll see some outbreaks of rain. now, not widespread, but it does mean that there will be a change as we move towards the end of the week. so, turning from warmer weather into something cooler with rain on thursday.
