u. k. has threatened to stop funding for rolanda over allegations that keep all a has been involved in that the or c conflict. uh, would you like to share your thoughts on that as well? and i understand that the, the, the value of, of, uh, uh, a few k gives to, uh, to the one that is uh, approximately, uh, uh, $40000000000.00 for you. and i think the total uh, uh, amount the one to receive in a year is over a 1000000000 us dollars. i think uh, i think ive correct that so. so it's, it's uh, as a proportion really its not that much. and i don't think it can really affect one does a position in this process. i think a the if, if any serious effect has to, to come through this process. it's really, it's really has to be a process which is a coordinated on in, on an international scale. and so it is so that it can really become effective that glenda can consider to be serious and that can affect its uh its programs and projects from, from fairly right african legacy foundation member motor aka neary

u. k. has a portion of miss, we're presenting facts to justify our sales. let's take a listen. the most egregious example of this manipulation occurred during my work on arm sales to saudi arabia, amidst its military campaign in yemen, the u. k. government was fully aware that saudi air strikes were causing massive civilian casualties. now the big question is, how much political influence of shaping the pays arms. experts, policies have these allegations hold, could which officials be held accountable for the role and conflicts overseas. but it's hard to say we have to wait and see before now this former diploma is urgent and his colleagues still inside the government to stop enabling what he calls at corrupt process back to you. right? all right, i'll be at least grocery if it's more, if an ocean. thank you. and you can see more what from a rail on our website oxy dot com for the meantime of your program or tons and about hoffman house? a. the yep. no jokes this week is the big joke because on you guys it's usaid. i need the . 2 the the milestone rubber but i'm still che bose

u. k. being slightly removed away from the routes that the european union has had with trump of the tyrants, he'll be able to offer more conciliate, free, towed to the trump administration in order to be able to find the best possible solution for security in ukraine. that will a fact old old powers will be happier with suddenly than they are now. okay, thank you. sonya, you're gonna thank you for that reporting from london. we'll continue the conversation with benjamin talus, who's the director of the democratic strategy initiative, the think tank. joining us from berlin, thanks for your time. can all of this be done without ukraine having a seat at the negotiating table as well? that's certainly a big question, but just let me give a little context here because having been in munich over the weekend, i think it's extremely important not to write transatlantic alliance off too soon. the trump administration has put various different options on the table and will several of them back the you repeat the, if the goal was to actually go to europeans into action. it looks like it's starting to

u. k. prime minister has to say he's in paris. how does he position a lot, considering how much is at stake here? the british prime minister kissed on where is positioning b. u. k. a. so most of us can symmetry. try a bridge as it was between the us and europe. both sides involved in somewhat of a truck to document on towers stopped the moments so storm with us, hoping that the u. k. being outside of the european union can find the ways of trying to consolidate those voices around the defense. so the continent as well as the defense of ukraine and try know for a package that would be amenable to of both d. c and to ukraine as well. with that in mind as well, that have also been strong, remind is 2 european leaders that europe simply has to do more to step up its defense. and even though there was that offer of that continued return is judging a countries around europe to commit more to defense in order to protect the continent with facing a generational challenge when it comes to national security. obviously, the immediate question

u. k is right wing reform party has taken the lead and opinion polls for the 1st time in the country's history. it is a striking display of public discontent with current prime minister, cure stormers policies, just 7 months into his tenure at downing street. if elections were to be held tomorrow and as well for us as you can, reform party would snatch 25 percent of the votes a point higher than the ruling labor party. 21 percent of the vote would go to the conservatives, the reform party as best known for its aspirations to fully curb illegal migration and offer small businesses, significant tax cuts. well, this comes as right landing parties gain steam across europe in germany, austria, france, and the netherlands populous to politicians are coming out on top. the southern shift and voting trends can be explained by growing it, concerns over immigration, the stagnant economies, and high living costs. all right, let's cross a live now to you. k heritage party. later david occurred to david, good to have you on the program with us. um, i'd like to hear your reaction to this pull that shows tha

has been using them in the war. like here in kids. these are remnants of missiles used in a tax and several locations across ukraine, the u. k based investigative organization, conflict arm and research has confirmed their north korean marseilles. russia has denied using north korean weapons but kim and putin has made their relationship official. they signed a treaty on comprehensive, strategic partnership on political and economic cooperation. but the headline here is the mutual defense clause and the treaty if either party is attacked, the other will provide, quote, military or other assistance. the prussia has been framing the war and ukraine as a war against nato, and the collective west led by the us. and that's a cause that kim is happy to sign up for. now russia has a military partner in that war against the west, in that common cause. and a military partner that has nuclear weapons and is willing to also take risky, bold moves, the way they rush that you heard, right? this is what many experts say about north korea. yes, they have nuclear weapons. the mutual defense clause is pretty much copy and paste from an old tr

u k. b and borrows johnson has been in dubai. actually this week of famous discovering the piece negotiation in that key, which would have argued be saved so many lives. and in fact, he helped gail an end. so many of those lives. does it have any wider repercussions if us a guess tom or of a britain does what? some of the sources are claiming that he would put british soldiers into the conflict, the tags at the boss of the pentagon. trump suppose it depends. you can say you can individually european countries put people in the just know 100 nato umbrella. any real repercussions of the mass slaughter of british soldiers in kiev for i know him parts of ukraine, presuming the russians is to go to the mall. or is that just a separate side side, but obviously terrible for the british. are these remarks they start from previous behavior by doors, drugs. they are bravado they're empty. i'm serious. russians are laughing. obviously, with them is the whole, the ground force with britain is $50000.00 and the russians have now more than a 1

u. k? don't look set for that role either. they're your only nuclear powers. have strong military's or big spenders on defense. and key supporters of ukraine but france has been mired and political crisis for months and with the u. k. now out of the u, it doesn't have a strong claim to leadership in europe. instead, it's other countries taking the most action right now. these are the countries that have seen the most dramatic increase in defense spending over the last 10 years, poland, estonia, lot fia, lithuania, and finish. what do they all have in common? right, they all share a border with russia. we are the countries. now that's the case was rushing across the directions, highway one. so we took off the pressure on our folder and it shows poland has planning to spend 5 percent of gdp on defense this year. more than even the u. s. the baltic and northern states to have invested mass of the into the military. but the, it doesn't matter whether the baltic states increased the defense funding and they keep abilities by 200 percent or 3000 if you want this year signs of their countries and their economies doesn't match well, find some jeremy for example.

u. k. prime minister keeps stomach, has been invited. we, on the sudden the router is the secretary general of nato is also likely to be in power as a full that meeting so very fast, leaving the privacy ahead of the talks that we now understand they're going to take place in the coming days between the us and the russians taking place in saudi arabia and james, i'm the new trump administration shock with all tactics appear to host, have been carried over there to the munich security conference you've been there for the past few days. there seems to be that's why he did in golf now between have your opinions and the americans viewing the conflict and ukraine and the stakes and it they are deeply concerned the europeans, they want to support ukraine. they do not want any sort of appeasement to polluted and yet the us is going ahead pushing ahead. it seems, with tools with the russians, the europeans don't really know what's going on. the not being properly brief, don't what's going on. i mean ukraine use their own so it seems being sidelin

u. k. foreign secretary claims that russia has no intention of serious thoughts . wow, that's lots of different opinions from those to need to members. what's your interpretation? well, i think that it's quite clear that the u. k for example is the most, i'm interested the country in any kind of piece, photos additional, the premium crisis. we know that it was maurice johnson for talk to is the landscape uh out of accepting uh, the east timble agreements in 2022. uh now the new uh, bridge. foreign minister also came to gifts. trying to kind of, uh, mobilize uh, support. uh for you, great. and which is becoming more and more difficult to do in the current circumstances as for our readiness to negotiation. so i think we reiterate that the uh, from the one we where, uh, favoring diplomatic solution to a military, one lease was quite clear from all the statements. uh, but we wanted to implement the goals of our special maintenance, reparation in any way. we wanted to have a normal neighbor who would not be strengthening our territory, but didn't want to any threats to c

about then, the british, the british being closely involved in the proxy war, not just cuz u k b m, or as johnson has been in dubai, actually this week. uh famously, scott, bring the piece of negotiation in to a key, which would have argued be saved, so many lives and effects. he help scale and, and so many of those lives. does it have any wider repercussions if fasick is tom or of a britain? does what some of the sources are claiming that he would put british soldiers into the conflict, the tags that the boss of the pentagon. trump suppose it depends. you can say you can individually european countries put people in the just the 100 and nato umbrella. any real repercussions of the mass slaughter of british soldiers in kiev, for iowa, in bots of ukraine, present me, the russians is to go to the mall, or is that just a separate side side, but obviously terrible for the british. these remarks by storm and from previous behavior by bars jones. they are bravado they're empty. i'm serious. russians are laughing officially, even though is the whole ground force of britain is $50000.00. as the russians have

i think it's true for anyone that has an american or u k. accident, even if they're demand. when we're talking about gone, i've gone out of the country that has a population of over 30000000 people. there, maybe 10000 african americans. we're an extreme minority. so i think that sometimes we're used as a scape goat and that is misplaced. do you feel this? because i know that you run your business and setting it up. was it easy for you? if you are going to and you can set up the business for like 1000 to 2000 and cd's, but if you're coming from outside, they're telling him bring in half a $1000000.00. now we'll set up your, you can set up a business as the so, you know, owner, that is not, you know, very easy, you know, for anyone. if we're not having a very deep analysis of what's going on, they play black people against other black people. so just to the point, we need to understand that we're all black people and we have very common do you know, type comments, you know, type in a common thrust for survival that we need to have as opposed to divide and conquer . let's play t

u. k. and in many other countries has failed palestinians a long time ago. and not just now by the way. i think institutions have a this engaged to is uh, palestine about sort of studies 8 years ago. so particularly when, when, when uh, colbin came to power and became the leader of the position that was actually a defining moment for posting in the office for us. and i'll give you my experience in that example. i had scheduled place to be in certain vineyards and when that's of the height of the anti semitism debates of the labor party and the issue around the neighbor punched in germany. corman, which has nothing to do with my face of the night. if i creation my play was cancelled for no reason, you know, from the service the news because people started to see us as like, oh, if i put a protest in a play or story or, or, or whatever it is, then i'm taking size and i'm, i'm being and to submit that there was no chance for us to kind of break through this and many cultural organizations and up to, to have, you know, works about palestine written by non ta. this thing is i'm gonna get bac

machine is no firmly in classic content history, which has helped increase, disappear, and it's gone. globe from germany to the rest of the audio, and the u. k. is even cost the eye of calling us across the pond. but i caught up with 2 chevy bends closer to home vessels bids. jose gonzalez has a fun this because from the eastern block, the spot for plastic coffin to organize the last meeting in belgium. one is the largest gatherings of its kind. and he's an admission to seek justice to the trap on a car. he believes has been the subject of unfair criticism. this was always seen as the exact and the books. the problem is that the, someone interested in plastic or to move out of the is your, of the cars behind the iron curtain was impossible. solutions a to resist for me is the forces from the, from west the newer, but from the west, off with the narrow uh was uh worse little secrets full of uh, misconceptions. who are very far away. i thought back then. so i've been living a lot and i think that's also part of the, the term of having a car like these that the allows you to discover, to explore, to, to know more into change of what you know al

u. k. is foreign minister david law. me has agreed with john for wanting to rebuild gas up, but has said that breaking favors a 2 state solution, working alongside the policy, you know, far too long, side gulf and our partners. that's the guarantee that we only to ensure that there is a future for palestinians. in that donald trump is right. looking at those see of palestinians who have been ren display, displaced of so many months of its classic casa, is lying in, rob, we've always been clear in albany that we must see 2 states. we must see palestinians able to live and prospect in the home lines in casa in the west bank. that is what we want to get to familiar repeating reaction. we're going to speak to dominic and he's joining us now from violence. germany has been a strong cha life of israel's since pretty much the end of the 2nd world war. what is the reaction to all of this there? well, the statements, the views coming from the german government pretty clear about this in a post on social media. the foreign minister unrel

state department has a secret call with the us in passenger, which is tape recorded and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets. the u. k. former pentagon senior security policy yellow is michael maloof joins has not from outside us. a i, the headquarters in washington dc were not former stuff or staging a pro test. michael. i imagine their 1st demands are to get their jobs reinstated. but what else are they say? spots to thanks for having me union, but they were, i'm not, i'm, i'm actually outside of the, a percentage park which is near the us senate and the capital building as a matter of a point of reference there, they're basically demanding that usa id funding and be reinstated, and that the workers be put back to work. and we've had a number of congressmen and us senators, a make speeches to that effect. and it appears as though they're actually going to mount some kind of a resistance, both as a state and local levels. and at the federal level to counter mosque they are really against mosque. are you on mosque? who's the head of the those enterprise to, to turn down the us government. and they, they only talk abo

and yet, um, i think president trump has, 1st of all, as a fondness for the u. k. and for the united kingdom, he's always had a good relationship with this country. secondly, that the, the british are actually meeting the easily meeting the minimum 2 percent of g d p standards in nato. so they're at about 2 and a half percent. and so that's not an issue for the us right now. and then certainly, you know, there, it's an island country, there is no risk of illegal migrants, no realistic risk and illegal migrants coming through the u. s. a. you don't have that issue that the president trump has with canada and mexico. so there's just not a lot of challenges or headwinds. and as i mentioned earlier in the segment, there's these trade sir, plus between the united kingdom and the united states is relatively flat. so those are all good, you know, good issues or, or, you know, had, you know, tell wins for the united kingdom right now. thank you very much, greg. and thanks to all of all guess today. dimitri cross, they've been sky, greg spence and gavin fidel for context, a

u. k. it's lee adams, the you, he says israel has no rights to protest demand land. the fact that trump talks about now is that his real estate shows, i think his understanding of human motivation and of history is now. but i think that there has to be another motivation. see here, because trump doesn't always follow up with the stress, you know, actually back kind of the launch the back down in mexico. kind of that. and so he has is deliberate policy. as we know, it's a stated policy, of some of his advisors are coming out to some of the shopping things, but it's almost impossible to, to focus on any of them. but at the same time, even though we need to wait and see what actually happens, it shows up there tomorrow about more of a vacuum in the white house. he talks about making america great again. and yes is relentless, the diminishing the stop, the standing up united states in the world. and it's definitely also opening up some small, high ground for china. the great arrival of the united states, which cannot for the perfectly reasonable states this morning about

and frankly, i think donald trump has a vendetta, particularly against the u. k. for their past involvement in fabricating russia. gates, trying to destroy him politically and even cure storm are sending his own members of his party to campaign against trump. trump's not going to shut a single tear when british brittany goes down and gurus, european leaders, they're demanding a place up in negotiating table. when it begins with the chief thing, the block must negotiate from a position of strength. is it going to be able to do that? oh, is it possible uh, when they don't have that? well, it is printed directories. a mess they're going to have to be like republic right now. but what, how software do you don't be in the industry used to be due to money and also to the him, ben certain to all type of status on this here, because off of the very high prize and they do the good thing. there was practice being displayed, they found you look at frost, there is no point to going to simply be like phone friends. that's even you looking at particular zip code between in germ

u. k . the overall number of students enrolling for english studies has dropped from 42237000 since 2019 and in the west and became the fastest declining major between 20132018525 percent. the morrison government in australia decided in 2021 to reduce government contributions for degrees like english communications and culture, which means students wanting to pursue those fields need to pay more intuition fees . on the other hand, the funding for engineering and medical majors has increased to what kind of society will emerge if she manages studies are as a whole and up scrap from curriculum to help us answer that more. we have joining us today. so contracts such as chandra, accountants, creator sharing, her passion for reading and instagram. she's with us from bank of world. katie hutchinson, a stem student pursuing her doctorate of the university of oxford. so joining us from 10 in ecuador, far as charging a career coach, content creator, and software engineer in san francisco, and on need resume on a silicon valley insider and founder of a me dot a i was helping us helping those hiring fi

u. k. o reaffirmed the support for the 2 state solution, the long standing framework. washington itself has backed for decades. the idea and gaza should be part of a future palestinian state alongside you well supplied was bang and china and ones eager to play a role in brooklyn, regional peace has firmly come out against trump's plan. let's take a listen. i'm gonna find the china always believes that palestinians govern in palestine is the fundamental principle of post conflict governance in gaza. we oppose any forest relocation of gauze or residence, and hope. the relevant parties will take the gaza ceasefire and post conflict governance as an opportunity to bring the palestine question back on the right track to a political settlement based on the 2 state solution and to achieve lasting piece in the middle east. the spa, global outrage, israel's foreign minister, has framed this whole force displacement ideas, simple delivered migration, ignoring the fact that gases did not want to leave and no country in the world once to take them all. as long as migration occurs through an individual'
