gulf of mexico and parts of alaska's bering sea. the ban, which has no end date, could be tricky for trump to overturn. the government retains federal authority over the exploitation of offshore resources. but the act does not expressly provide for presidents to unilaterally reverse a drilling ban without first going through congress — although washington policy strategist terry haines says he thinks trump will find a way to reverse it. the biden people want to say that she cannot, but i think that she cannot, but i think that he can. biden has gone way over his presidential skis and lots of things like student loans and been pulled back by the courts, at root this is a presidential declaration. the next prison can undo it. what the biden people say is that he is relying on it and executing a law that makes it more difficult to undo. but i would
9:31 pm
point out, trouble probably use the biden playbook and try to undo it anyway, not only that, congress can change the law that might —— they might well do that this year. it is interesting, in his interview with time magazine before christmas, trump confessed it would not be easy to bring down prices, but one thing he things he can do is cut in half the price of fuel. critical to that will be more drilling, more exploration for oil and gas, drilling, more exploration for oiland gas, and drilling, more exploration for oil and gas, and this might just blood his efforts at least in the first few months. he is not going _ in the first few months. he is not going to _ in the first few months. he is not going to bring _ in the first few months. he is not going to bring prices - in the first few months. he is l not going to bring prices down, is he? — not going to bring prices down, is he? it — not going to bring prices down, is he? it means prices do not rise _ is he? it means prices do not rise as — is he? it means prices do not rise as quickly. does the shorthand. elon musk a summary has promoted electric cars who has promoted electric cars who has those — has promoted electric cars who has those credentials, and yet here _ has those credentials, and yet here we — has those credentials, and yet here we have donald trump saying — here we have donald trump saying colette strelcha joe, drill — saying colette strelcha joe, drill for _ saying colette strelcha joe, drill for more oil, and i think america _ drill for more oil, and i think america has got a problem here. the problem is, it might be left behind, because china is

9:34 pm
foremost but secondly they don't have that extra capacity at the moment. he is putting pressure on european governments to buy it moral and gas but they don't have more lng terminals, they don't have more to export, so when he says, buy it or we'll put on the tariffs, he needs that extra capacity, doesn't he? sure, but if you go back to the original question, the offshore drilling and delimits that president biden is seeking to set, some of those limits are actually a bipartisan support. there are plenty of people in the states of concern on both sides the aisle that don't want the offshore drilling either... i think florida was one of them, wasn't it? in the first trump term he banded drilling in florida. trump term he banded drilling in florida-— in florida. exactly, and so one other very _ in florida. exactly, and so one other very interesting - other very interesting questions we are all waiting to see with donald trump is, he has got a diverse set of people and interests that have supported his election, he has
9:35 pm
a very diverse set of people in his set of nominees, and it is just not clear which direction he is going to go. president biden if you look at that decision today, it does not include all of the gulf of mexico, there are going to be plenty of offshore drilling that continues that is already going, anything, and even he already has a lease will continue with that lease, they are not losing those leases, and a lot of what is being banned is not really taking place already. along the eastern shore of the united states, from northeast down to florida, so there are some technicalities in this, but there is this broader question of, to what extent is biden trying and can he trump proof, to use the word that has become a sort of form of art? a lot of this is going back to the courts. we are going to see them as phenomenally active courts at the state level... it
9:36 pm
ultimately comes back to the supreme court and they stand or they have... fix. supreme court and they stand or they have- - -_ they have... a lot at the state level, case-by-case, - they have... a lot at the state level, case-by-case, florida, | level, case—by—case, florida, california, you name it, and it is going to be very, very political and politcised, and thatis political and politcised, and that is one reason that that struggle between the democrats and republicans is also about appointing thosejudges and republicans is also about appointing those judges at the state level. appointing those 'udges at the state [aah appointing those 'udges at the state level._ state level. very interesting. certainly want _ state level. very interesting. certainly want to _ state level. very interesting. certainly want to watch - state level. very interesting. certainly want to watch in - certainly want to watch in terms of california, because they have already put money toward seeing off some of these trump changes. we will watch that with interest. let's talk about how quickly we should speak. six months after labour's biggest landslide in a generation, the new government is in trouble. there's been a seven—point decline in the party polling averages since the election. that's only been exceeded once in the past four decades — by an eight—point fall the conservatives suffered in 1992 in the wake of "black wednesday". it falls on the leader, then, to rally the troops. but experts say the prime minister's delivery is too slow. here's some of his speech

on the nhs earlier today. so, today, iwelcome so, today, i welcome a new agreement that would span the relationship between the nhs and the private health care sector, make the spaces, facilities and resources of private hospitals already a billable to the nhs. that's more beds, more operations, more beds, more operations, more care, available to the nhs —— available to the nhs stop the times has done some analysis today which found only one prime minister this century delivered their party conference speech slower. liz truss. we are growing more competitive lead we are growing more competitive tead than — we are growing more competitive lead than the prairies. more variety— lead than the prairies. more variety of— lead than the prairies. more variety of cheese than the french _ variety of cheese than the french. �* . ,, french. applause and we _ french. applause and we are - french. applause and we are sellingj french. applause | and we are selling t french. applause - and we are selling t to french. applause _ and we are selling t to china!
