all you have to do is make it in the united states, we don't need it from another country. keirrmer�*s choice of lord mandelson — a long—time labour party politician — was controversial of president donald trump. between the us and the uk, strong relationship between our governments and a very warm, personal relationship between the president and our prime minister. is the extraordinary relationship we have it is unique in the world. and i think that what we need to do so, i'm looking at that very carefully indeed there are some areas where it's very clear that there's a gap even try and persuade donald trump to change his mind without alienating his administration? we have to take all of these issues as they come, for change in the united states. and how his allies need to adjust sometimes and i believe that given the relationship that we have, we can always make our views known — best, by the way, directly and privately. elon musk is trying to buy the non—profit behind openai, which powers chatg pt. $100 billion according to the group's attorney. with a "no thank you". it's be

the prime minister keir starmer is expected to host another meeting after he travels to d.c. president trump. russia's ambassador to the u.k. said president zelenskyy should hold elections to secure his legitimacy. >> could one of his demands be that president zelenskyy stands down and elections are held in ukraine? >> no one has said that. we believe since his legitimacy has come to an end, he should have elections. we do not see how we can negotiate with him. if he failed to put his signature on the agreement, he would not be elected as president. we can go into negotiations with him if there is no other way. for us, the value of such negotiations is not 100% necessary. caitrÍona: earlier i spoke with a former advisor to president zelenskyy. new see donald trump -- when you see donald trump describing president zelenskyy as a dictator, zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a country left -- what goes through your mind? >> there were many messages in that. they have to be taken apart. judged separately. lots of emotions. that's not great for a leader of the m

another former military chief saying today that sir keir starmer will be laughed out of the room whenout plans to go much further than 2.5% — to 3% for example. i've been speaking to people in government this morning. there is no indication at the moment from them that they are willing to go beyond that 2.5% figure, and we should be clear that even increasing defence spending from 2.3% to 2.5% — which the government said it would do — that would be an increase of several billion pounds and would require what the chancellor calls "difficult choices" in other areas. there are no easy trade—offs here. it is a tightrope for the prime minister heading off to washington, having to try and put ukraine's case but also not alienating president trump — who can get cross quite quickly. that's exactly right, the government has been quite wary, not even challenging donald trump but even contradicting him — they have been hesitant to do so. we have seen, though, the government being a little bit more willing to set out its position, particularly when it comes to ukraine, for example. prime minister

there is still one thai man from the northeast in another, he talked about a constituent being mown down. in a cabinet with keirssages have come from a whatsapp group of a number of labour councillors. and other mp officials. they were in a story in the mail on sunday. the newspaper reported some of what the messages said. one of them said that andrew gwynne said he hoped a 72—year—old woman would soon be dead after she wrote to her counsellor about local bin collections. in another, he talked about a constituent being mown down. there were also sexist and racist remarks about some of his own colleagues within the labour party. racist comments about diane abbott and sexist comments about the deputy prime minister, angela rayner. he has apologised for the comments. he said: "i deeply regret my badly misjudged comments "and apologise for any offence i have caused." he talked about it being an honour to be in a cabinet with keir starmer. he said he was saddened to be suspended because he has also separately from hisjob in government and suspended from the party. an investigation is now taking place into those conv

keir. thank you very much. >>> another major story in washington right now. the administration's efforts to shrink the size of the federal government. it is the focus of several legal battles. and yesterday it was elon musk, not president trump, answering questions in the oval office about that push. nbc's chief white house correspondent peter alexander joins us with more. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. this was a remarkable scene inside the oval office. president trump behind the desk. billionaire elon musk by his side, detailing their plans for a large-scale cut to the federal workforce, and handing over future power for firing to musk. trump firing the independent watchdog that oversees usaid. it comes a day after the ig's office released a report detailing the potential risks of administration's dramatic downsizing of the agency, according to a letter obtained by nbc news. all of it as the president in an extraordinary scene in the oval office largely ceded the spotlight to his top lieutenant, elon musk, talking about his wo

uk prime minister sir keir starmer is also set to host another meeting soon after talks with us president donald trump in washington. in other news, this hour uk inflation has jumped to 3%. that is the fastest rise in ten months, driven by soaring food prices, airfares and private school fees. and with energy, water and council tax bills also set to rise in april, households are bracing for more pressure on budgets. meanwhile, businesses say higher wages and national insurance hikes could push prices up even further. the government is warning that the road to low inflation will be bumpy, but political parties are still trading blame over tax and spending policies. here's the shadow chancellor mel stride. >> unexpectedly large rise that is going to impact families right up and down the country. but look, this has happened because of choices this government has made. it's gone out and spent a lot of money, borrowed a lot of money. >> that's been inflationary. it has also neglected. productivity when. >> it cut those public sector wage deals. there were no productivity requirements attached

also, another note, president trump will meet with sir keir and has said president from's closest policydvisers are travelling to negotiations to begin negotiations to begin negotiation with russian counterparts without ukrainian involvement. i think he wants to stop fighting and we see that. me and steve witkoff was with us and they want to stop fighting and they have a big powerful machine, you understand that. i think he wants to stop. that was my question to him, because if he's going to go on, that would have been a big problem for us, and that would have caused me a big problem, because you just can't let that happen. i think he wants to end it and they want to end it fast, both of them, and zelensky wants to end it too. as the us and russia are prepared to meet you —— european leaders have been scrabbling to catch up with plans and they will meet for an emergency summit on monday. a bleak day in munich as diplomats headed home after their security conference, still reeling from us suggestions that europe will play little part in talks to end the war in ukraine. but tonight, from a

another look at that issue. and it's an afternoon of breaking political news. we're just hearing that sir keirtarmer has told his ministers to admit that labour ignored working people's concerns about immigration for too long. in a letter seen this afternoon by gb news, the prime minister says politics became too scared to acknowledge that some migrants are genuine refugees, but some aren't. he's warning that labour must stop patronising voters and prove that reform uk's policies on tax and the nhs are not the answer. and in that letter, citing a woman in oldham, he says people feel they must justify their concerns to be to avoid being labelled racist. and he's also pledged to stand up for ordinary people who feel shut out and ignored by elites. volodymyr zelenskyy has told donald trump's envoy that ukraine needs reliable security guarantees before any peace deal with russia. it comes as the white house cancelled a conference with zelenskyy after donald trump called him a dictator. and elon musk accused kyiv of being a massive graft machine. meanwhile, 12 civilians have been killed in russian

another stabbing that could have been prevented? and is it time for a national knife crime emergency? as keir starmer is in brussels today seeking a reset with the european union. but as president trump threatens the eu with tariffs while hinting that the uk could be exempt from any such measures. i'll be asking if the prime minister has once again got his priorities wrong. lawmakers should not be law breakers. famous last words from the prime minister there. if my memory serves me correctly, i don't remember voice coaches being on the key workers job list. well, stick around because we'll be contrasting and comparing sir keir speeches over the years. guess what? you can't spot the difference. and hundreds of tradesmen descended upon westminster today, demanding government action on the tall thefts that are having devastating impacts on the uk construction industry. and later on, i'll be speaking to a brave tradesman who considered taking his own life after thieves stole thousands and thousands of pounds worth of tools from his van, leaving him unable to work and heartbroken. all that's to co

another story in one of the papers this morning about them jostling. >> yes, this is the story in 2022, at a time when, of course, it was beergate and keir starmer was under investigation by durham police for potentially breaching lockdown rules. rachel reeves and wes streeting encountered each other in the voting lobbies and according to the book, wes streeting asked her and said which of us is it going to be? and reeves then had to go and vote and never they never addressed the subject again. but those two are probably going to be likely the chancellor now and the health secretary jockeying to replace him. at some point. >> i would suggest the health secretary looks a little more likely than rachel reeves right now. i mean, i don't think she's had the best. >> start, but you got to remember the electorate. the electorate is going to be those labour mps. true. and i think wes streeting, as someone said to me, he's a self—made man and he worships his creator. >> i've often described him as the most ambitious man in the labour party, if not indeed the country. let's move on though. sunday express front page warning that keir is edging us back into th

another labour mp on there. there's a load of labour councillors. it does beg the question, why did you all think this kind of rhetoric was okay? and for keir starmer this is so problematic isn't it. because he's the one who says that he has purged all anti—semitism from the party. others have been suspicious about whether you can actually do that, because some people in the hard left are still anti—semitic. and yet you get messages like this, like casually bandied around. it's like, oh, is that the thinking of quite a lot of people in labour? this is not good. >> yes, i know it's awful, isn't it? he does say something about apologising. you know, a misjudgement. >> it's misjudged. yeah, but i don't know about these apologies. i'm sorry if i have caused offence. why not say what i said was categorically, completely wrong and out of order? i'll ask matthew pennycook when he comes on later. the housing minister, does this guy actually have a role in parliament at all? why is he should he be able to remain an mp even as an independent? if this is the way he talks about his constituents? >> absolutely. can't party leaders just say just stop doi
