to the uk ambassador to the united states between 2012 and 2016. good morning to you and thank you forjoining us. how do you think donald trump going back to the white house changes the relationship between the uk and the us? l the relationship between the uk and the us?— and the us? i think the uk government _ and the us? i think the uk government was _ and the us? i think the uk government was well- and the us? |thinkthe uk - government was well prepared. that is to say none of us knew which way the election would go. we thought it was too close to call and in the end it was a pretty clear—cut outcome. but i think the way the government, the way the ambassade karen pierce and her team, the way the ambassade karen pierce and herteam, had the way the ambassade karen pierce and her team, had links to both the democratic incumbency and the republican challenger team, to the trump team, were properly managed, and british interests were properly looked after was very skilful. even before the general election in the uk, david cameron was down at mar—a—lago talking to donald trump about the importance of

getting ukraine right. and keir starmer and david lammy have reached out already, even before kamala harris has conceded, to congratulate donald trump on his election. there was a flurry earlier about whether or not the labour party should or shouldn't have been trying to help kamala harris. that was a nonstory. people including a party is always help their sister parties in democratic elections, that was nothing. the government has done all it can do to prepare for whatever the outcome is and the relationships with key players to the extent we know what they are, seem to be in good shape. i think the uk interest and the relationship seems to be pretty much set fair.— much set fair. you say getting ukraine right, _ much set fair. you say getting ukraine right, but _ much set fair. you say getting ukraine right, but where - much set fair. you say getting ukraine right, but where the l much set fair. you say getting i ukraine right, but where the uk stands on ukraine and where donald trump stands on ukraine could be some way apart. l could be some way apart. i think you are right. what did happen, and i think the uk government was helpful in this,

earlier this year in the spring donald trump stopped locking the famous $61 billion worth of military assistance congress had voted through for ukraine. clearly now that donald trump is the president that will be more difficult. my own view is that whoever had won this presidential election, it would be more and more difficult to persuade the american people to give a lot more difficult to supporting ukraine. this was always going to be a challenge and the europeans have to step up and the europeans have to step up to the plate to do more. you are right, donald trump was after all impeach the first time around because of ukraine and his behaviour and the linkages he tried to attach to military assistance to ukraine. the europeans are very concerned that if you stop supporting ukraine the risk is vladimir putin ends up with a victory in a sovereign state which is potentially destabilising for the rest of europe and for nato. there is a lot of work to be done there. donald trump says he is a great deal maker and he will want to

give priority to try to end the conflict. the question will be on what terms and to what extent does what he wants to be maori with what president zelensky, ukraine and the ukrainian people feel is an appropriate outcome, or at least a manner of freezing the conflict and stopping the slaughter. conflict and stopping the slaughter-— conflict and stopping the slaughter. conflict and stopping the slau~hter. �* . slaughter. and then there is the other— slaughter. and then there is the other massive _ slaughter. and then there is the other massive challenge slaughter. and then there is i the other massive challenge of the other massive challenge of the middle east right now. this he is a deal—maker, but to what kind of prospect or possibility is there that he can achieve any kind of agreement in the middle east? it any kind of agreement in the middle east?— middle east? it looks very difficult- _ middle east? it looks very difficult. all— middle east? it looks very difficult. all the _ middle east? it looks very difficult. all the advice - middle east? it looks very i difficult. all the advice which the current president and his administration, secretary antony blinken, and cia director william burns have been giving to the israeli government has been largely ignored until now. donald trump is known to be a good friend of benjamin netanyahu, although he was a bit cross with him for congratulating joe biden quickly after the election last time. it is instinct will not

be pro—palestinian but he is close to a number of the gulf states and ruling families there but many of them have to some extent lost interest in the palestinian cause. my guess is that the prime minister of israel will be pretty pleased with the outcome. he was more or less campaigning for donald trump. the bigger strategic question is what will happen in the region in terms of iran. iran has said it will attack israel again. the revolutionary guard and supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, do they mean it or is it bluff? will there be us pressure on them not to do it? will there be us encouragement of israel to have another go at iran because the iranian proxies like hezbollah, hamas, the houthis, they have had a hammering recently. there is a risk of further escalation in the region and it's too early to say what difference the arrival of president trump on the 2ist of january will make. it may be that a number of important things have to happen in the middle east

podcast broadcaster on the rest is politics uk. i was thinking us political campaigner, where do you think donald trump got it right in this election campaign and where did kamala harris go wrong?— harris go wrong? well, you talk about tens _ harris go wrong? well, you talk about tens of _ harris go wrong? well, you talk about tens of millions _ harris go wrong? well, you talk about tens of millions of- about tens of millions of people who have their own reasons for voting in a certain way. the question you asked, historians will write about it frankly for the rest of time because this is one of the most extraordinary election victories and comebacks i think in any country in history. what did he get right? i think he managed to speak to and give a sense of speaking for the anger people feel about the state of their lives and country. i think he recognised it in his usual way, think he recognised it in his usualway, not least think he recognised it in his usual way, not least of all by elon musk and the way he campaigned, it's a very unique form of campaigning that i think a lot of people, people

like me, find distasteful and unpleasant, full of lies, racism, misogyny and so forth. but i think the democrats have to really look deep into how they have managed to lose this. lots of reasons for that. looking at some of the economic data, it might look good but in people's lives they didn't necessarily feel it. joe biden went when he went but there was no time really for the kind of contest that might have allowed somebody to really emerge and give a sense to the public of who and what they were. you ask me the question, we are all going to be thinking about this for a long time. this is one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime and i'm not sure, actually, i elections of our lifetime and i'm not sure, actually, lam pretty sure the consequences are far from being pretty sure the consequences are farfrom being good. but in terms of how he won and why he won, there are some very big

westerns for progressives and for people in the left and the centre of politics in all this. former prime ministers tony blair was speaking recently here in washington, dc. he said for progressives we have not done a good job of naming and calling out grievances and saying what they are. is that something you see is a shortcoming for kamala harris asthma campaign and for progressives across the world? i think kamala harris fought a good campaign. when i say that you have tojudge good campaign. when i say that you have to judge a campaign good campaign. when i say that you have tojudge a campaign by the outcome and she lost, therefore trump fought a good campaign and the democrats didn't. but i think you would be hard to fault the bulk of the campaign. i think she struggled somehow to marry being continuity, part of the biden administration, with being a candidate of change. i think there is a sense, and you talked about how progressives deal with populism, and one of the guests we have on the podcast and it is a former

colleague of mine, peter hyman, who has been touring, on the campaign trail, particularly going to trump rallies and talking to people and he has been telling me for some time that he thought trump was going to win because he had a sense, i guess the way to put it is that a lot of people felt the democrats were talking about them and not necessarily to them. i think what trump has done very successfully, i hate it but you have to acknowledge he has done it, he has sort of combined populism and polarisation, post truth politics, in a way that has made a lot of people feel motivated by, comfortable with it, and feeling he offers them something the other side doesn't. the next decade for progressives, right across the world, and this will affect politics around the world, is how do you deliver the kind of lives and progress that people want in their lives, but at the same time you don't want to do the same sort of politics but you have to work out better

ways of dealing with this kind of politics. ways of dealing with this kind of politics— of politics. given your connections _ of politics. given your connections to - of politics. given your connections to the - of politics. given your - connections to the labour party in the uk, how do you think they now build connections with donald trump in the white house? what is that relationship going to be like? one of the guests we had on tonight, kim darroch, who was the british ambassador under borisjohnson. donald trump in his first term effectively got him fired. we also spoke to the current uk ambassador about that very question. to be fair to them, i was at the dnc in chicago and the british embassy there is a really pretty impressive operation but they had exactlyjust impressive operation but they had exactly just as impressive operation but they had exactlyjust as impressive in operation at the republican convention as well. they have been made clear they have been building links with both sidess. keir starmer had a meeting with trump, he phoned him after the failed assassination attempt. basically what the government has to do, as every government around the world will have to

do, is recognise donald trump will be president, work out the issues that really matter to him and how they relate to the issues that really matter to us, and build their networks at every level. nobody will pretend that in any normal circumstances donald trump and keir starmer would necessarily be best friends and playing golf every weekend but keir starmer has to recognise, as every british prime minister has done, with this special relationship we talk about so much, that in a way you just have to work at it. you have to work at it on every level of government.— work at it on every level of covernment. . . ., ,, government. alastair campbell, ou will government. alastair campbell, you will have — government. alastair campbell, you will have a _ government. alastair campbell, you will have a lot _ government. alastair campbell, you will have a lot to _ government. alastair campbell, you will have a lot to talk - you will have a lot to talk about on the rest is politics for the next four years. don't worry about _ for the next four years. don't worry about that. _ for the next four years. don't worry about that. thank - for the next four years. don't worry about that. thank you | for the next four years. don't i worry about that. thank you for “oinini worry about that. thank you for joining us- _ joining us. vote counting is still taking place in key battleground states that haven't yet been projected. we have correspondeds still standing by in wisconsin, michigan and nevada. we can go to lone wells

in michigan in the middle of your screen. at the moment we don't have a projection for michigan so how are things looking there?— michigan so how are things looking there? michigan so how are things lookin: there? . h looking there? that's right, we don't et looking there? that's right, we don't yet have _ looking there? that's right, we don't yet have a _ looking there? that's right, we don't yet have a projection - looking there? that's right, we don't yet have a projection but| don't yet have a projection but nearly 90% of votes have now been counted in both the presidential race here and the key senate race as well. in the building behind me they are still counting votes in detroit. that's one of the reasons we don't yet have a prediction because detroit has the largest population in the state and the counting has been much slower than in other parts of the state. it's fair to say the democrats are not feeling positive here at all. the democratic watch party we were at earlier, where the democrat senate candidate was there giving a speech, was pretty pessimistic. it packed up pretty early and most strategists and donors i spoke to their were not feeling positive about both the presidential race here in michigan and also the senate race. if the democrats don't when the senate race it will be

incredibly significant. the republicans have already gained control of the senate in the wider picture but republicans haven't had a senator here in michigan for 30 years so it would signify a real shift in the politics of this state. lone wells, thank you. we can go to wisconsin and speak to carl nasman. you have a phrase locally, as goes wisconsin, so goes the nation. and it is right again. it goes the nation. and it is right again-— goes the nation. and it is right again. it seems to be ri . ht right again. it seems to be right again- _ right again. it seems to be right again. of— right again. it seems to be right again. of course - right again. it seems to be right again. of course this | right again. of course this state now leans donald trump. we are awaiting the final results here and we believe we will have them soon. we are still waiting on milwaukee. we have been saying the word patience all night and it is proving to be true, it's about four o'clock in the morning here and we still don't have the final results in this state but the count from milwaukee will be uploaded soon, that's what we are being told. a matter of minutes potentially. wisconsin is very likely with

that final ballot dump, as they call it here, to push donald trump over the edge and put him over 270. trump over the edge and put him over270. it trump over the edge and put him over 270. it would be interesting because this is the exact state that put donald trump in the white house in 2016. this was enough for his margin back then. it's been interesting to see the way this has played out tonight. democrats came in hopeful, optimistic or most, and as soon as we got to the party in madison with the tammy baldwin campaign, the democratic senator here, that mood kind of shift it. it felt like an anxious room and the republicans on the other hand across the state were celebrating. the senate is still up for grabs. we still don't know the make—up of the senate yet but tammy baldwin is trailing her republican opponent. we might find out in the next dump but it is still so close. we are waiting for all the results from the state to see who the next senator will be. ~ . .,

to see who the next senator will be. ~ .., . ,, ., will be. we will come back to ou will be. we will come back to you when _ will be. we will come back to you when we _ will be. we will come back to you when we get _ will be. we will come back to you when we get those - will be. we will come back to i you when we get those results. we can go to nevada as well. we are waiting on nevada. clearly, how are things shaking up there? it how are things shaking up there? . how are things shaking up there? , ., ., there? it is almost two o'clock in the morning _ there? it is almost two o'clock in the morning and _ there? it is almost two o'clock in the morning and with - there? it is almost two o'clock in the morning and with about| in the morning and with about 75% of votes counted it looks like former president donald trump has a pretty comfortable lead. but we are still awaiting the final protection in nevada. if trump pulls this off it would be quite a reversal of fortunes for the republicans. they haven't won here since 2004, president obama was able to start this blue street for the democratic party in 2008. he won in 2012. clinton won in 2016 and joe biden in 2020. i will note that the margins on the wins have been shrinking over time. the wins have been shrinking overtime. obama had a the wins have been shrinking over time. obama had a pretty overwhelming win in 2008. by

2016 and 2020 the margins were around 33,000 for both hillary clinton and joe biden. this would be a resounding victory for drop notjust because he has won the state but because he has turned the tide for republicans here. lilla;r he has turned the tide for republicans here. lily jamali, thank you- — republicans here. lily jamali, thank you. let's _ republicans here. lily jamali, thank you. let's put - republicans here. lily jamali, thank you. let's put this - republicans here. lily jamali, thank you. let's put this into | thank you. let's put this into some perspective. just how big a moment is this for donald trump and his team? obviously it is a historic _ trump and his team? obviously it is a historic moment - trump and his team? obviously it is a historic moment for- trump and his team? obviously it is a historic moment for his i it is a historic moment for his team. it is a validation of the trump movement, a completion, cementing the rearranged electoral map that donald trump ushered in in 2016 and looked like it have been put on ice in 2020. now it is back and in spades. donald trump's political coalition, he is reshaping the republican party, this populist conservatism, is once again triumphant, not by a

huge margin, but even if he wins the popular vote i think thatis wins the popular vote i think that is significant in a symbolic sort of way. he will have four years to put his mark on the american government will stop these senate races in michigan and wisconsin and nevada are very important. these are six—year terms and if republicans can knock off those incumbents it will give them senate control theoretically for a long stretch of time, make it much less likely democrats in a midterm election in 2026 would be able to win enough seats to shift control of that back.— of that back. congress is the lever sand — of that back. congress is the lever sand mechanisms - of that back. congress is the lever sand mechanisms by i of that back. congress is the - lever sand mechanisms by which a tempeh — lever sand mechanisms by which a tempeh president in the opposing party. if you don't control— opposing party. if you don't control at least one of them it means— control at least one of them it means the president has virtually unfettered power. looks _ virtually unfettered power. looks like the republican party will have the presidency, the senate and the house. ibmd senate and the house. and control of— senate and the house. and control of the _ senate and the house. and control of the us _ senate and the house. and control of the us supreme court _

stage but he was definitely on mar—a—lago today. you study a lot of the stuff, what impact do you think the elon musk interventions that he has and the power he brings with x has? i think the role of billionaires in this race and in modern society is important but technology, social media and the _ but technology, social media and the instantaneous spread of information, misinformation and the ways— information, misinformation and the ways to push the public at large — the ways to push the public at large is — the ways to push the public at large is crucially important. i think— large is crucially important. i think the _ large is crucially important. i think the platform formerly known _ think the platform formerly known as twitter, x, it's not what — known as twitter, x, it's not what it — known as twitter, x, it's not what it used to be but it reaches _ what it used to be but it reaches a hell of a lot of people _ reaches a hell of a lot of people. i think we are only the other— people. i think we are only the other big — people. i think we are only the other big and you're trying to understand what elon musk wants from donald trump and what he can have —
