military build up ever seen in peacetime . he will criticise peacetime. he will criticise threats that are being made to taiwan in. but that's about as far as the tough talk will go because he'll talk to about the importance of trade . he'll talk importance of trade. he'll talk about the need not just to isolate china and actually this isolate china and actually this is the british government's policy speak critically arnie in some ways about china . but some ways about china. but tomorrow everything carries on just as normal . tomorrow everything carries on just as normal. i tomorrow everything carries on just as normal . i mean, don't just as normal. i mean, don't forget, this was the government that wanted huawei to be deep inside our 5g telecommunication system, only to be forced out of it later. and this is, of course, now 13 years into a conservative government whose main strategy for the first decade of that was that this was a golden era of new relations with china. and we've stood aside, we've watched democracy being crushed in hong kong.

we've said virtually nothing . we've said virtually nothing. and it's as if we go on trusting the chinese regime or is it that the chinese regime or is it that the influences the big money influences over the conservative government are such they don't want any damage to trade at all? it's also worth noting that many senior people in the conservative party and movement , the johnson family in particular, have very, very strong business links to china . strong business links to china. i think it's weak. i think it's pathetic . should we trust china? pathetic. should we trust china? give me your thoughts . acas give me your thoughts. acas farage at gb news .uk. well joining me is luke de pulford , joining me is luke de pulford, executive director of the inter—parliamentary alliance on china . there was a moment there china. there was a moment there when liz truss was prime minister . it when liz truss was prime minister. it was a very brief moment in many ways, but a moment in many ways, but a moment there when it appeared that actually our policy on china was going to get significantly tougher. china was going to get significantly tougher . and yet, significantly tougher. and yet, luke, what we've seen is we've seen china getting ever closer to putin and russia almost to

the point where putin looks like almost a proxy. i think , for almost a proxy. i think, for china . and we've decided that as china. and we've decided that as as the germans have been to beijing and the french have been to beijing , that somehow we have to beijing, that somehow we have to beijing, that somehow we have to be part of that club. is that what's going on? yeah, i think it n. — what's going on? yeah, i think it n. r— what's going on? yeah, i think it is. ”nine— what's going on? yeah, i think it is. i think that's— what's going on? yeah, i think it is. i think that's a- 93 g 7 yeah, i think it is. i think that's a fair enetren. — it is. i think that's a fair analysis. i'd- it is. i think that's a fair analysis. 2 e it is. i think that's a fair- analysis. i'd put it this way. james cleverly— analysis. i'd put it this way. james cleverly was- analysis. i'd put it this way. james cleverly was the- analysis. 2 e james cleverly was the foreign secretary— james cleverly was the foreign secretary rut— james cleverly was the foreign secretary rut tn— james cleverly was the foreign secretary put in place by liz nnee. — secretary put in place by liz nnee. ann— secretary put in place by liz truss. and when- secretary put in place by liz truss. : secretary put in place by liz- truss. and when that happened, we heard some positive noises from james cleverly, now from james cleverly, and now we're getting different we're getting very different signals 10 and signals from number 10 and particularly prime particularly from the prime minister we hear minister over china. we hear this strange phrase, this very strange phrase, robust pragmatism is how we're supposed to be dealing with china. now i don't know what means and don't know what that means and it isn't an it certainly isn't an appropriate for dealing appropriate strategy for dealing with what is clearly our number one the way, one threat, which by the way, rishi even said the rishi sunak even said on the campaign he was campaign trail, but he was running to be leader the running then to be leader of the conservative party. the tune has eneneee— conservative party. the tune has changed significantly. - the tune has changed significantly. e changed significantly. it's changed— changed significantly. it's changed significantly changed very significantly indeed. a indeed. i mean, he promised a number he was number of things. he said he was going to close confucius institutes. he said it would

" tart. have woken up to it. in fact, we're waking up to it so slowly that it almost looks as if we want to be increasingly dependent upon china, i think, which remarkable which is so remarkable about this, not a secret. this, is that it's not a secret. this a clear and explicit

this is a clear and explicit strategy on the part of beijing. xi a couple xi jinping himself said a couple of years ago that they wanted to inculcate dependency of other nafions inculcate dependency of other nations , particularly nations on china, particularly in what he called killer industry , his meaning those industry, his meaning those critical infrastructure areas. if we put sanctions on china, real sanctions on china, that would hurt us, too, though, wouldn't it? yes, it would. but you've got to look at this in the round. if xi jinping does what he says he's going to do, and there is some kind of and if there is some kind of event taiwan, be it event in taiwan, be it a blockade or something we blockade or something worse, we will force decoupling. then will have force decoupling. then it won't be a choice. it will be something we have to do. so the question government, i question for any government, i think, seeking to prepare for this manage the risk. if this is to manage the risk. if this is to manage the risk. if this thing is coming down the road, what are we doing to prepare that? i'll prepare for that? well, i'll tell what not the tell you what is not the intelligence is to intelligence strategy is to increase dependency and renewables and so many other areas that we're sleepwalking into. it'll ukraine crisis into. it'll be ukraine crisis all over again, except ten times worse. yeah. the trouble is, rnewen— worse. yeah. the trouble is, though,-ukraine,- yeah. the trouble is, though, ukraine, you know, though, with ukraine, you know, the though, with ukraine, you know, rne—nwerrw- though, with ukraine, you know, the—busily mosti though, with ukraine, you know,i the—busily most of

excuse me, florida governor ron desantis is a ban at six weeks. that's a little different than saying no abortions at all. really, i think that discussion needs to be pivoted to into how government can help pregnant women who are pregnant unexpectedly and how to promote a culture of life and services like that rather than focusing on the negative aspects of it. but yes, that is a that's one of the issues that will potentially cost republican votes. the flip side of that, of course, is joe biden already caused one recession. he's about to cause another. you have this another. and you have this string of embarrassments around the world with biden's failures . oh, look, you know , i mean, . oh, look, you know, i mean, ene— . oh, look, you know, i mean, the withdrawal— oh, look, you know, i mean, the withdrawal from afghanistan , ene— the withdrawal from afghanistan ,rne rerreer— the withdrawal from afghanistan , the retreat from _ the withdrawal from afghanistan , the retreat from kabul did eenewerw— , the retreat from kabul did seriously dent— , the retreat from kabul did seriously dent america's erenerng— seriously dent america's standing and— seriously dent america's standing and leadership in the went— standing and leadership in the were er— standing and leadership in the world of that,— standing and leadership in the world of that, there is no newer.— world of that, there is no newer. ane— world of that, there is no doubt. and there are domestic rerrwree.— doubt. and there are domestic rerrwree. rew— doubt. and there are domestic failures. you know, 6 million people— failures. you know, 6 million people newe— failures. you know, 6 million people have crossed that eewrnern— people have crossed that southern border crime in some of rneee— southern border crime in some of rneee aneneen— southern border crime in some of those american cities are just eewene— those american cities are just beyond comprehension . an and yet

trump is going to win the nomination, comes notably, isn't he ? no, i don't think so. and he? no, i don't think so. and remember, we have state by state. we start in iowa, a small farm state. we go to new hampshire, another state, new england. trump not very popular going back to iowa. remember in 2016, didn't win 2016, donald trump didn't win that cruz did. so if that one. ted cruz did. so if you have someone desantis you have someone like desantis win and new hampshire win in iowa and new hampshire and which and then south carolina, which is battleground state is a confused battleground state with sons, if you with two favourite sons, if you will, nikki haley, the former governor the current senator governor and the current senator scott. if you do that, then no, i think if you look at trump's support, there's some of it. there are people who are outraged at what's being done against him legally in new york. but it that will that will fade away when people pay attention and see viable alternatives. well while we're not allowed to encourage gambling on this show otherwise, i'd like to have a bet with you because i think trump will get it regardless . trump will get it regardless. but a final thought, kristen, if i but a final thought, kristen, if r new— but a final thought, kristen, if r new .— but a final thought, kristen, if r new . new— but a final thought, kristen, if i may. how does— but a final thought, kristen, if i may. how does it look for anenee— i may. how does it look for america when— i may. how does it look for america when the man standing to be america when the man standing to we ereereenr—

executive give creating that strong presidency out of the chaos that we had early in our years after independence. it's a critical way to get things done . and if that fails, if that if that person at the top isn't really functioning, it's very dangerous. chris dan really functioning, it's very dangerous . chris dan wootton, dangerous. chris dan wootton, enenk— dangerous. chris dan wootton, rnenk wew— dangerous. chris dan wootton, rnenw wew wew— dangerous. chris dan wootton, thank you very much- ::g chris dan wootton, thank you very much indeed for rernrng— thank you very much indeed for rernrng we— thank you very much indeed for rernrng we nere— thank you very much indeed for joining us here on— thank you very much indeed for joining us here on gb news. rnenk— joining us here on gb news. rnenk wew.— joining us here on gb news. thank you. thank you. christian rnew-re— thank you. thank you. christian rnew-re eewrng— thank you. thank you. christian they're saying that joe biden is peer— they're saying that joe biden is peer-weer.— they're saying that joe biden is peer-eeerlne-e- they're saying that joe biden is past best. he's not. past his best. no, he's not. nee— past his best. no, he's not. we e— past his best. no, he's not. he's a complete- past his best. no, he's not. he's a complete old duffer at reeer— he's a complete old duffer at reeer ener-e— he's a complete old duffer at least that's my— he's a complete old duffer at least that's my opinion in a rnernenr— least that's my opinion in a moment, let's— least that's my opinion in a moment, let's talk to somebody tren— moment, let's talk to somebody eren e— moment, let's talk to somebody from a democrat— moment, let's talk to somebody from a democrat party who thinks this from a democrat party who thinks the re— from a democrat party who thinks the e e— from a democrat party who thinks the e e wew— from a democrat party who thinks this is a very good— from a democrat party who thinks this is a very good thing and ener— this is a very good thing and rner ereen— this is a very good thing and that biden will— this is a very good thing and that biden will go on to storm to that biden will go on to storm re werew— that biden will go on to storm re wererw tn— that biden will go on to storm to victory in the— that biden will go on to storm to victory in the november ereerrene— to victory in the november elections next— to victory in the november elections next year

from christian about joe biden wanting to run again. well let's get the other side of the story. i'm very pleased to say that i'm joined this evening by bob wheeler, who was a spokesman in the clinton administration and is lifelong friend of joe is a lifelong friend of joe biden . bob, welcome. welcome to biden. bob, welcome. welcome to the program. let's be honest about it. he you know, he's had about it. he you know, he's had a long, long career in politics and on capitol hill. but his mental faculties are clearly not up to doing the job. now, surely , let alone contemplate it, when he's 86 years old and we. well, nigel, you got he's 86 years old and we. well, wrgee wew ger re— he's 86 years old and we. well, nigel, you got to look- he's 86 years old and we. well, nigel, you got to look at- sir r:::rl ?l well, nigel, you got to look at the er— nigel, you got to look at the cover of time _ nigel, you got to look at the cover of time of— nigel, you got to look at the cover of time of life magazine wnen— cover of time of life magazine when grandma— cover of time of life magazine when grandma moses was 101 years old when grandma moses was 101 years ere ene— when grandma moses was 101 years ere ene wee— when grandma moses was 101 years old and was featured— when grandma moses was 101 years old and was featured on it. life eeee— old and was featured on it. life eeee ner— old and was featured on it. life eeee nee eter— old and was featured on it. life does not stop at— old and was featured on it. life does not stop at 80, but more to the does not stop at 80, but more to rne renn— does not stop at 80, but more to rne pone, ee— does not stop at 80, but more to the point, as biden— does not stop at 80, but more to the point, as biden says , watch the point, as biden says, watch ane— the point, as biden says, watch and new—

illegally have crossed the southern border on those points. it's not a great record, is it . it's not a great record, is it. okay. we've lost him, which is very, very unfortunate because i was going to enjoy that conversation, but we'll try and get him back in a moment, if we possibly can. now, interestingly , the what the farage moment is that indian is thus far this year are the second biggest contingent out of those that have crossed the english channel nearly all young indian men. it's not a country from which anyone should be seeking refugee status . these people are status. these people are entering britain illegally and they shouldn't be allowed to stay. but of course , here's why stay. but of course, here's why they're doing it. they're doing it because if they can put in an asylum claim in the time they wait, they can apply to a british university arnie and they can then pay student fees

of £9,250 a year and not the £22,000 a year that it would be if they were a foreign student . if they were a foreign student. thatis if they were a foreign student. that is what is going on. and i'll come back to that point. bob weiner, i've got you back . i bob weiner, i've got you back. i was just making the point that on kabul , the border and crime , on kabul, the border and crime, it is not a very good record . it is not a very good record. well that's not quite true. if you look at eight of the l if you look at eight of the top ten ereree— you look at eight of the top ten ereree ee— you look at eight of the top ten ereree tn— you look at eight of the top ten states are in hands— you look at eight of the top ten states are in hands of republicans- states are in hands of republicans and they have the nrgneer— republicans and they have the nrgneer wne— republicans and they have the highest crime rates. so there's a highest crime rates. so there's e err— highest crime rates. so there's e en et— highest crime rates. so there's e en et rweew— highest crime rates. so there's a bit of fuddy duddy numbers tren— a bit of fuddy duddy numbers eren ene— a bit of fuddy duddy numbers from the republicans on that . from the republicans on that. ane— from the republicans on that. and new— from the republicans on that. and they wanted— from the republicans on that. and they wanted to cut in their eweger— and they wanted to cut in their eweger eeooo— and they wanted to cut in their budget 30,000 police. so who's the budget 30,000 police. so who's rne wne— budget 30,000 police. so who's the crime advocate— budget 30,000 police. so who's the crime advocate ? and talk the crime advocate? and talk eeewr— the crime advocate? and talk eeewr — the crime advocate? and talk about crime. the— the crime advocate? and talk about crime. the biggest crime renwerw— about crime. the biggest crime was january 6th,— about crime. the biggest crime was january 6th, fomenting insurrection,— was january 6th, fomenting insurrection, which, by the way, erernee— insurrection, which, by the way, erereee wew — insurrection, which, by the way, erereee wew rren — insurrection, which, by the way, stopped you from being allowed to stopped you from being allowed re rwn— stopped you from being allowed re rer— stopped you from being allowed to run for office— stopped you from being allowed to run for office again. and rnere— to run for office again. and enere re— to run for office again. and enere e e— to run for office again. and there is a movement now by some ergenreerrene— there is a movement now by some ergenreerrene re— there is a movement now by some organisations to take— there is a movement now by some organisations to take that to eewn. — organisations to take that to eewn. se— organisations to take that to eewn. se en— organisations to take that to court. so on on— organisations to take that to court. so on on that score with enen — court. so on on that score with rnen rrwrng— court. so on on that score with rnen rrwrng re— court. so on on that score with them trying to pretend that the erggeer— them trying to pretend that the erggeer rew— them trying to pretend that the

migration bill is going to make any difference, well, we'll find out in the course of the next couple of months. now, talked couple of months. now, we talked a sudan last night, a bit about sudan last night, about fighting that about who was fighting in that war, about deteriorating war, about the deteriorating situation, particularly for british and other foreign citizens today, with a couple of key witnesses , as i'm going to key witnesses, as i'm going to ask, the question, is this a bad ask, the question, is this a bad a mess from the foreign office as we saw in kabul a couple of years ago

so the latest news is that 40 british nationals have landed in cyprus, taken out from an airport north of khartoum by an raf plane . and they're hoping to raf plane. and they're hoping to get another 260 out over night. but i'm guessing once people leave their houses in khartoum and make their way unescorted to the airport, that must be an incredibly dangerous thing to do. and i just wonder, is this a

bit like kabul? have we dropped the ball once again? there was supposed to be a 72 hour ceasefire, but apparently that's been broken, too. so it seems to me that with the french and hauans me that with the french and italians and the spanish managing to get hundreds of people before we'd even made people out before we'd even made a move, seems to me somehow a move, it seems to me somehow that foreign office and our that our foreign office and our civil service yes, that civil service that forced the deputy prime minister out of his job a few days ago, it seems to me that they may well have dropped the ball. well, somebody who's been studying and writing about this is mark almond, who joins me from the crisis research institute oxford. mark how is this kabul all over again? have we simply dropped the ball ? we simply dropped the ball? yeah, unfortunately, it does rner— yeah, unfortunately, it does seem that the— yeah, unfortunately, it does seem that the foreign office eeeen-r— seem that the foreign office doesn't learn— seem that the foreign office doesn't learn from its past nrereree. — doesn't learn from its past mistakes. what- doesn't learn from its past mistakes. : doesn't learn from its past mistakes. �*vw�*fia : :�* doesn't learn from its past- mistakes. what happened in kabul was in a similar situation. the taliban were advancing.- :�* cit" the taliban were advancing. there e erere— taliban were advancing. there was a state of— taliban were advancing. there was a state of war around the errnene— was a state of war around the errrene ene— was a state of war around the airports and so— was a state of war around the airports and so on, but there was a much bigger force already rnee— was a much bigger force already rnere. rne— was a much bigger force already there. the americans and the

deputy ambassadors are trained to be there when there's gunfire. captain of the ship. well, exactly. and it isn't just about sudan. if you're a british citizen travelling to parts of the third world, you'd expect , the third world, you'd expect, you know, we're a big country internationally and you'd expect there to be support. but no, my cousin's had to turn back . cousin's had to turn back. right. so how worried are how wernee— right. so how worried are how wernee ee— right. so how worried are how worried are you— 1lg so how worried are how worried are you about 1lg“ so how worried are how worried are you about family and eneneee— worried are you about family and friends? well,— worried are you about family and friends? well, is— worried are you about family and friends? well, is this is this ene— friends? well, is this is this end we— friends? well, is this is this and it's difficult— friends? well, is this is this and it's difficult for us to get and it's difficult for us to get e eer— and it's difficult for us to get e reer teet— and it's difficult for us to get a real feel for— and it's difficult for us to get a real feel for this. i mean, etwtewetw— a real feel for this. i mean, obviously, you— a real feel for this. i mean, obviously, you know, your renew:— obviously, you know, your family,-history. - obviously, you know, your family, history. you've family, your history. you've werenee— family, your history. you've watched destabilisation family, your history. you've watchlbeen destabilisation family, your history. you've watchlbeen destron.sation family, your history. you've watchlbeen destron. iation family, your history. you've watchlbeen destron. i mean , that's been going on. i mean, we en rne— that's been going on. i mean, are we on the verge of an all ewr— are we on the verge of an all ewr ewr— are we on the verge of an all ewr ewr we— are we on the verge of an all out civil war? yes— are we on the verge of an all out civil war? yes - are we on the verge of an all out civil war? yes the battle lines have been drawn, but there's also this misconception that because and it's quite it's quite understandable that because khartoum is in a state of war now, it has always been a dangerous place. that's not true . it's actually been a haven of peace in the region where for migrants from ethiopia , chad,

migrants from ethiopia, chad, kenya, and so on, stay wars have occurred in other parts of sudan, but that was conducted by the government in khartoum that essentially implemented a security state that kept people safe. so the people there are not used to war. my cousin, who has one passport, which is british, his parents are from sudan, who , you know, you'd sudan, who, you know, you'd normally see riding a bike on the road, not with a hoodie, but, you know , who hasn't seen but, you know, who hasn't seen this sort of violence before? is having to sort of find a way of working through this to get to an airfield that isn't even in khartoum. but initially he was eeweee— khartoum. but initially he was eeweee ew— khartoum. but initially he was advised by the _ but initially he was advised by the british government - advised by the british government to stay at home. yes rwer— government to stay at home. yes we ee— government to stay at home. yes we ee rne— government to stay at home. yes we ee rne reente— government to stay at home. yes just as the people in the erenreu— just as the people in the grenfell tower- just as the people in the grenfell tower were told to stay in rner— grenfell tower were told to stay in their flats.— grenfell tower were told to stay in their flats. and— grenfell tower were told to stay in their flats. and it strikes me— in their flats. and it strikes me rne— in their flats. and it strikes me this advice— in their flats. and it strikes me this advice is just about as nee.— me this advice is just about as nee. ween— me this advice is just about as nee. ween ne— me this advice is just about as bad. yeah he was— me this advice is just about as bad. yeah he was told to stay at nene— bad. yeah he was told to stay at nene wnree— bad. yeah he was told to stay at home while all— bad. yeah he was told to stay at home while all not— bad. yeah he was told to stay at home while all not even british ernee— home while all not even british are ee— home while all not even british cities as sudanese— home while all not even british cities as sudanese national by the thousands— cities as sudanese national by the thousands ,_ cities as sudanese national by the thousands , left the city and the thousands, left the city and wenr— the thousands, left the city and wenr re— the thousands, left the city and wenr re eererw— the thousands, left the city and went to safety . _ the thousands, left the city and went to safety . in— the thousands, left the city and
