, post—industrial britain, britain beyond the m25, increasingly britain, you might say, well, quite anto identify with the labour party. and they started shifting their votes elsewhere or in many cases, as you know, matt just stopped voting altogether. and the truth is that today there is a massive cultural disconnect, i think, between large elements of the labour party, particularly its upper echelons and those ordinary working class communities. and we shouldn't be fooled by the election result last july, the c to ds, which, as you know, is the occupational working class. they, the labour party, only got 33%, which was exactly the same as they got in 2019. the industrial working class, the occupational working class, the occupational working class did not vote for labour in any greater numbers last time. >> can i just quickly can i just quickly pick you up on this? because this isn't just about britain, is it? across western nations, workers have been flocking to anti—establishment parties. but there's something going on at the moment with keir starmer. you know, this sort of tendenc

britain needs a bit of an economic sales job right now.vers and shakers of world finance here. this government have our number one priority is growing the economy, to make working people back in britain better off. but, after tricky markets this month, the question is what the government is actually doing rather than saying about growth. her answer aimed squarely at the big investors here in the city, in big tech and in our airports. when there are decisions around infrastructure investment, the answer can't always be no, and with this government, the answer is yes. yes, and it seems like you're re—evaluating heathrow and gatwick, key investors here at davos that own those airports. i'm not going to comment on speculation, but this government is determined to bring in trade and investment into britain. and some helpful backing from the man who controls the biggest state fund on the planet, the trillion— pound norwegian oil fund. ijust love the uk. we are invested in great companies in the uk, we have great managements running those compani

the tragedy of the southport killings must be a line in the sand for britain.st make sure the names of those three young girls are not associated with the vile perpetrator, but instead, with a fundamental change in how britain protects its citizens and its children. in pursuit of that, we must of course ask and answer difficult questions. questions that should be far reaching, —— and in 2021, twice. —— and in 2021. yet on each of these occasions, a judgment was made that he did not meet the threshold for intervention. ajudgment that intervention. a judgment that was intervention. ajudgment that was clearly wrong. and which failed those families. and i acknowledge that here today. throughout this case, to this point, we have only been focused on justice. point, we have only been focused onjustice. if this trial had collapsed because i or anyone else had revealed crucial details while the police were investigating, while the case was being built, while the case was being built, while we were awaiting a verdict, then the vile individual who committed these crimes

the fact that liberty is in decline in great britain and he's concerned that britain is going to drag america down the same path that america which he really envisioned its last holdout of liberty, is going to see liberty erode as a result of the course of acts by 1774. he is openly predicting that war is going to come to pass. he says that he will take up arms if war happens. a he ends up serving on a local committee of correspondents. he's at the forefront of resistance by. 1774 in response to the course of acts. there are a couple of letters in particular. gates writes, during these years, which which are particularly revealing. and unfortunately, gates did not keep a copy of most of his personal correspondence. so we kind of gather only a limited number of options to choose from of the outside. the period 1875 and 83. but there a couple of letters he writes in 1774 that that survive and are really revealing for for ideology at this point. so one thing that he write charles lee who is another british officer who who settles in northern virginia, really right down the strom gates th

i'm here to sell britain, to talk about the strengths and what we are doing.tem, we are reforming our regulatory system, we are reforming pensions, and also this year we are going to be publishing an immigration white paper, and will do we know that we need to bring immigration down, particularly legal immigration into the uk, we are going to look again at routes for the highest skilled people, and visas particularly in areas like aland life sciences, because britain is open for business. we are open for talent. we have got some of the best universities, some of the best entrepreneurs in the world, but we also want to bring in global talent into britain. it's been a busy week for the chancellor. she met a series of regulators in recent days and yesterday sacked the chair of the uk's competition and markets authority because it was not — allegedly — sufficiently focused on growth. marcus bokkerink who has chaired the cma since 2022 will be replaced on an interim basis by doug gurr, former boss of amazon uk. gervais williams, head of equities, premier miton said

you're watching britain's newsroom.e have been advised to ramp up recording non—crime hate incidents despite public orders to stop over free speech concerns. >> the review was ordered by the home secretary, yvette cooper, after the southport riots and in it, claims of two tier policing are dismissed as a right wing extremist narrative. this morning the prime minister had this to say. >> when it comes to extremism, it's very important that we are focused on the threat so we can deploy our resources properly and therefore we're looking carefully at where the key challenges are. obviously, that's now informed with what i said last week in the aftermath of the southport murders, where we've got the additional challenge, i think, of a sort of cohort of loners who are extreme and they need to be factored in. so that's the focus. in the end, what this comes down to is safety and security of people across the united kingdom. and that's my number one focus. >> well, this report was leaked to the think tank policy exchange. and w

what matters is not just what britain says what it does. what matters is notjust what britain wants but what it builds and what matters, what makes it matter is having a strategy, which is why atle's manifesto was called let us face the future. in foreign affairs, this meant pooling defences in a new transatlantic alliance, acquiring a new deterrent which did protect the uk and nato and a robust commitment international law and new institutions like the united nations. a strategy that was both progressive and realist that took the world as it is whilst working for the world that we want to see. today we must face the future once again, with our plan for change fixing the foundations at home of economic stability, secure borders and national security. so that we can deliver the priorities of hard—working people and a decade of national renewal. but to succeed in that task, we must navigate an increasingly volatile world to deliver at home. and this department must deliver our international strategy abroad. such a strategy is not about crysta

britain as an island nation is very dependent on undersea cables, primarily for telecoms, for communications. and we're not alone in this. so there are also, in the baltic sea, a number of undersea cables, some of which have recently been cut. now, this particular vessel, the yantar, which is a russian surveillance vessel, was seen in november. loitering is the word that was used over britain's very sensitive undersea cables and it was effectively chased off. it departed southwards to the mediterranean, and it has now come backjust a few weeks later, and the royal navy surfaced a submarine quite close to it to basically give the russians the clear understanding that it was being monitored. and you saw therejohn healey, the defence secretary, saying that, you know, and he's also said this is a clear message to president putin that we're watching you. there are two factors here, ithink, anita. one is the what's called hybrid warfare, the fear that russia is mapping undersea telecoms, communications and other, the cables, including pipelines that connect britain to the rest of europe and to the

the reality is that musk is not popular in britain. the approval ratings, i think a few years ago for him, when he was seen principally as a space guy and an ev guy, were very high. they're now fewer than 1 in 5 british people approve of musk. so i think there are there are diminishing returns to this kind of really unprecedented intervention in another democracy. >> at loose. always a pleasure to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. >> next on gps. as america prepares to inaugurate donald trump for four more years in the oval office, what is the biden administration doing to safeguard its achievements? i'll talk to the secretary of commerce, gina raimondo, when we return. >> kobe, the making of a legend premieres january 25th on cnn. >> car. this isn't the way home. >> that's right. james. it isn't. >> car. where are we going? >> we're here the future isn't scary. >> not investing in it is. >> were you in on this? >> nothing gets by you, james. >> nasdaq 100 innovators one etf. before investing, carefully read and consider fund inves

just to the economy, but for the whole of britain. his impeachment trial, where he denied ordering the arrest of lawmakers during his attempt to impose martial law. parliament voted to impeach yoon last month, and last week the constitutional court began a trial to decide whether to permanently remove him from office. 0ur correspondent in seoul, jean mackenzie has the latest. security here in seoul today has been incredibly tight, as mr yoon has had to be transported from the detention centre, where he's currently being held, to the constitutional court. all the roads around the constitutional court were completely blocked off to the public. police officers formed these human walls to cut off the access. this was to stop mr yoon's supporters from being able to get close to the court, because hundreds of them had gathered nearby. this was quite a moment here today because not only is it mr yoon's first appearance in this impeachment trial, but it is the first time we've really seen him in public since he made that martial law declarati

but the boycott has no impact economically on britain. it's themed or it's framed as though it's going to affect the 1774 parliamentary election. but that happened before the boycott took effect. so election was over. you couldn't really affect it and everyone responded the boycott the same way. they said, oh no, there's going to be another boycott. quick, let's up extra on things and. so they bought all extra supplies like everybody did with covid, right? they stocked up on junk and then, well, the merchants were fine. they had just sold more than they normally would in a year because everyone bought up their 1775 supplies early. so it had very little on the british economy. and so this logic of will use the north american economy to affect the british economy, to affect british politics just completely fell apart. if there even was a real logic there can. i just ask a just a follow up just invite you to clarify so i think i hear you saying as an economic strategy yeah. the the boycott and prohibition fail. yeah. they're really not exert

great britain would always be great to me. that's what i'm all about.ian. i'm not a scientist. i stay out of all of those kind of things. but one thing i don't stay out is one thing i don't stay out of is the protection of children and that's why i'm here. stay with us here on bbc news. hello from the bbc sport centre. we've had the first of the quarterfinals at the australian open. the ten—time winner, novak djokovic, is on court right now facing the carlos alcaraz. they have been playing for about an hour and a quarter. alcaraz, who has never made it beyond the quarterfinals, took the first set 6—4. there have been a couple of breaks in the second set for both men. it has been quite a tussle. the winner of that match will face second seed alexander zverev in the semis. he beat the amercan tommy paul. the german took the first two sets on tie breaks and, though paul pulled one back, zverez sped through the fourth set 6—1 to reach the last four for the second sraight year. the women's champion aryna sabalenka is into the semis after a 19th win in a row

in britain, yeah. compared to how it was impacting. okay. so the slavery issue in britain. slavery in britain abolishes slavery maybe 30 years earlier. i think it's 1834. i think i'm about that. as a matter of fact when sumner goes, when goes to europe, he gets an earful from the british. they're like the british are like the reformed smokers. why do you still have slavery? why do you still have slavery? right. they just abolished it in 1834. they give an earful. but i will tell you this, the britain in the united states almost go to war during the civil war with britain's help with the confederacy, which which it support of the confederacy. i think the dirty little secret in england is this the working class. the working class people supported the union and supported abraham lincoln. what i would call the upper class the elites, the wealthy in england needed southern cotton. sure you know for their finery. no question about that. but i also think not thing you read enough about it, right? they really kind of like that monarchical system that slavery was, as you know, prett
