march against anti—semitism takes to tiandreets of march against anti—semitism takes to tiand reputational a pr guru and reputational adviser. giles, let's get stuck in. i thought the sunday telegraph's front page with this photograph of the prince of wales and donald trump was really interesting. we've often talked about the royals, haven't we, packing this soft power punch. we know that the late queen elizabeth ii was probably, i would say, one of our most successful international ambassadors. we've now got william carrying on his grandmother's mantle, but just the sight of him and trump, i thought, goodness me, keir starmer should be grateful for the royal family because they're the royal family because they're the ones bridging the gap here. we've got david lammy, the foreign secretary, having previously described trump as a what? neo—nazi , sympathising what? neo—nazi, sympathising white supremacist. william here trying to smooth things over for the british government. yeah. >> and of course william beating starmer to having the first meeting with trump since he won the election. yeah, a really good example, as you say, of soft power, deft touch. and we know that trump's a massive fan of the royal family. so yeah, really showing their worth at a time when people are questioning

the royal family. you know, it's existential for them. and kate and william are the future. and i think would we have seen prince charles doing this maybe not. >> i know i think he would have found king charles. >> now, king charles now. >> now, king charles now. >> and because of the kind of like hierarchy of the structure and because charles has recently been to australia and samoa, i think it was left to william to kind of do this job and go to notre dame, which looks fantastic. having been restored in just five years since the fire in 2019. the other thing we were thinking this morning, charles, is i wonder what they'll be making of this in montecito, because donald trump has been in the past hugely critical of prince harry. and meghan said that he would investigate whether prince harry had a right to be there and his green card status . didn't he green card status. didn't he also take. he made a comment about harry, like, you know, being careful who he married and he's going to live to regret marrying meghan and he's publicly gone to war with meghan before. >> there are a lot of speculation, i think, he said. like after he got out, after he won the election, that he, prince harry, would be dealt with appropriately and as you

say, because his speculation. did he lie on his visa application form regarding taking drugs? >> that's right. because he admitted in spare that he'd taken drugs, and then he gets into america and we all know what the border control is like there. if you admit to any wrongdoing at all, you're usually blackballed. so that was what happened. i suspect that probably didn't come up in the conversation with trump between him and i'm not sure. but like, wasn't william taking a little bit of extra delight in meeting his brother's nemesis? possibly, possibly. let's move to on far more serious fare in a way not that to be fair, trump's meeting with zelenskyy wasn't serious yesterday. it was . and it also yesterday. it was. and it also paves the way to perhaps some kind of peace agreement in ukraine. but let's look at the situation in damascus, in syria. assad. now , it's very assad. now, it's very complicated, all this. it's quite hard for us to get our heads around, including the audience here. but to cut a long story short, it looks like bashar al assad, who is a man who was associated with, of course, a chemical weapons attack on his own people in ghouta back in the day. you know, this isn't a good man. it's somebody who britain courted to an extent, thinking

it was better to keep him close and keep your friends close and your enemies closer. he had a state visit to the uk queen elizabeth ii put him up. we've had meetings in the past and then he turned against his own people. syria has obviously been in a huge amount of turmoil ever since, but now it looks as if he is having to flee damascus. maybe he's in russia with his ally vladimir putin already, because in a nutshell, jars. i know it's hard to simmer it to down simplicities, but what's happened, they've got there's a rebel group of rebel group, al—qaeda affiliated . al—qaeda affiliated. >> i think speculation like is the new regime going to be any better? are we in an iraq situation? yes. a massive blow for iran and russia, who have, quite frankly, propped up assad. but yeah, a seismic moment because it ends 50 years of the assad family ruling syria. but yeah, like what comes next is looks pretty scary for a region which is just a continual tinderbox. >> exactly. and what does it mean for us domestically as well, to be seeing as you see, this is, in a way, a kind of,

you know, two fingered salute to iran. i mean, i can understand that, but do we know much about these rebel forces and whether actually the cure might be worse than the disease? none of these people who seem to want to run this middle eastern country seem to be, you know, in any way respecters of democracy or indeed some of the people living here. >> no. and indeed, in speculation that syria then gets split into three, you've got three different faction groups not dissimilar to iraq as well. so yeah, i think and also we have the hang over all of these conflicts because we end up with people who have been radicalised coming here and trying to cause us mischief. >> yeah. i mean, how does does keir starmer get involved in this? obviously we had the whole situation with, you know, david cameron and the proposed bombing of syria and the row that we had in parliament over that. how does the prime minister play this one? >> yeah. well, i think it calls for him to intervene and say something, but i think it's very difficult to say at this stage because such a fast moving situation where do we end up. but yeah, worrying anyway.

>> and do we know where assad is now. how. >> now. >> you suspect he's probably gone to russia, right? yeah, thatis gone to russia, right? yeah, that is the speculation, obviously, but also maybe that has an impact on what diverting putin's attentions away from ukraine for a while. >> i don't know whether that then poses an opportunity for some kind of brokered ceasefire. >> there . yeah. and does does >> there. yeah. and does does putin put more resources into syria or is 1512
