angus morning and very good to see you, angus . why are you see you, angus.ned about this? why should we be worried about this? well, on the one hand, it's very good news, isn't it? because it means that young people are getting the help they need. they've been they've been so hard done by with very, very high with their very, very high tuition fees. but high housing costs difficult situation financially with tax tax levels that effective fee for them of 42% once they earn more than about 25,000. so it's good that they're getting this help. but i suppose what it reflects is the fact that the older generation can afford it, that they've done so well with housing within comes with their pensions being secure. so we should really be encouraging it, but it turns out that it's very unequal so that it's fine for those where you're in a small family , one or two in a small family, one or two children, parents who are doing well. but what about when the parents aren't together? what about a situation where there are a lot of children and the parents just don't have t

angus king of maine and he serves on the intelligence committee.epublican congressman mike gallagher of the house intelligence committee and select committee on strategic competition between the united states and china. so the two perfect guests here to describe this. given the briefings that each of you received yesterday, i think our first question is it clear to you what these objects were that have been shot down, the three of them? and that the u.s. will be able to recover them? >> well, i think, kaitlan, the answer is no. it's not clear what these objects were. we're very clear on the balloon issue on the chinese balloon, where it came from and we're getting more and more clarity on what its mission was as the debris is recovered off of south carolina. but these other three objects we still don't know. they were much smaller. we don't know who sponsored them, what the mission was. and you can't reveal any classified information. basically, i can tell you that we're still searching for the debris and we'll know much more when we find it. >> ka

was angus robertson, the former snp leader out westminster high profile figures finds.sequence on his young family rather than become first minister. so yeah, you're right. i think humza yousaf is as things stand at the moment the really clear favourite but you know you know things surprising things happen in politics who knows what's what's around the corner but right i would be very surprised if humza yousaf didn't become the next the next first minister, which is interesting because in 2014, humza yousaf missed the vote on equal marriage in scotland . he equal marriage in scotland. he says he was away on other government business at the time. to he didn't vote to be clear, he didn't vote against it. he just didn't vote for it. and similarly he's presided an nhs in scotland presided over an nhs in scotland over the last few months where people have seen services get demonstrably worse. and at one point he was criticised for saying people should think twice before calling an ambulance . before calling an ambulance. this man is not without scandal himself. it's nor he i

bill seen as more socially conservative anas sarwar seen as more socially liberal, but also we've got angusertson and kate forbes now. kate forbes had the good fortune. perhaps of being on maternity leave during all of this, but she abstained by virtue of that on the gender bill, she seemed to be more critical of it. she's an evangelical christian. she's made anti—abortion comments in the past. this is someone who perhaps is on that socially conservative side as well , conservative side as well, whereas angus robertson, someone perhaps closer to the sturgeon world view, we're really seeing in these four candidates now, two social liberals and two social conservatives, that seems to be where some of the division is coming about. and you know, it's possible that we could be slightly overstating some of this, but this particular gender recognition bill has really exposed some of those issues. and whatever one may think about the particular issue at hand, i think that what it did show was that when the uk government both on this question and also on the question of independence referendum stood

here is angus king, a senator from maine, independent, watch. >> i think what's changed is the levelvity in the united states. i just think it's downright dangerous to have a company that potentially is a pipeline to the chinese communist government that's collecting data on americans. >> bill: let me take the other side of all this. what's the harm if someone has my data? what's the harm if they know what i search on google? because google has the information already. >> yeah, but it's not just someone. and google is still incorporated in america, still an american company. tiktok by virtue of the parent company, bite dance, headquartered in beijing, every private company has to work in service of the state if beijing asks and technical component, and also the fact that the ccp has leverage over a massive group of people. so if you have a data engineer looking in singapore they said our servers are only hosted in u.s. and singapore, this is tiktok speaking, if they want to put their thumb on family members in china they can have access to the data over leverage of the human terrain

let's talk now to the scottish national party mp for angus, david doogan.tep down? i think everybody across the independence - to step down? i think everybody - across the independence movement yesterday was shocked at nicola's announcement and plans to step down as leader and first minister of scotland. the way she, as she always does, skilfully laid out the reasons and reasoning behind her decision i think left all of us in no doubt that she has always had and always does make a strategic decision in the interest of the snp but principally in the interests of scotland, which will be best served by independence. and she has made what must have been an extremely difficult decision, and acknowledged the way the media works has resulted in her becoming a divisive figure in some people's eyes and that's having a material impediment to the progress of the independence movement. i think i wish it wasn't so but in the event that her analysis says that it is, i have to accept that, and so do we all across the independence movement, but she is and always will be a

now you have an independent, angus kill and bill christmas did saying it's time to raise the retirementyou want to save this program. robert, can democrats get behind that? >> i think the way they have to frame it is, everyone is living longer because of health and medical reasons and all of these good things that america offers. 65 is too young. maybe over a 20-year period, have a grandfathering and scaling and make it goes up over time where it impacts our kids that are in their 20s and 30s as opposed to anyone in their 60s. it's a very smart approach to think about a scaling and a grandfathering. >> martha: even if you're over 50 it won't change for you. >> you have to move a system of voluntarily letting people put money in a personal retirement account like a 401(k) plan. if we mad done that 30 years ago, the average -- >> president bush brought it up and he got hammered for it. >> martha: these young people would get twice as much benefit than they get from social security. >> martha: i'm looking for the politicians that have the guts to talk about this. president biden won't say

about a year or so i bet a pound on angus - so i bet a pound on angus robertson becoming the next leader give the money to charity of course. but i think rather than the personality, i completely accept because it's a leadership position it's often a conversation about personality. but the snp have now got to work out what they stand for. and they can do it. from a position of relative strengths. there still had in the polls. there are still very confident of doing well in the next election they say. so from a position of strength, working out, where they haven't worked out since we had the independence referendum backin we had the independence referendum back in 2014 and the basic one is, if scotland was independent, which currency with scott's use's and we find eight years. and nicola, unfortunately for her, wasted those eight years when it came to that question. now that's partly because she's not an economist by training, but it's also because it's a fairly tough question to answer. but you don't want to referendum about the future of the united kingdom. unless you can reassure those

of course, angus robertson has been leader before it was leader in westminster before i mean, sorry,figure . definitely a well known figure. he's thought of as a sort of safe of hands. but whether he has the sort of fire that it would to take reignite that independence course, which, as you say, is looking as though it's hanging in the balance, really this morning is another issue. yeah, because i mean, we've alex salmond not just we've got alex salmond not just question of no obvious successor, but the movement has been left with no clear strategy for independence or referendum routes being . and the de facto routes being. and the de facto referendum election proposal in the general election being a vote on independence is at best up in the air. yes. and i think this is perhaps even more personal than the question of who the successor is going to be. i was in edinburgh when the indyref supreme court verdict was decided and it was decided that section 35 and all that exact say that the snp couldn't proceed with its plan to hold a legal referendum within hours. nicholas sturgeon had d

nicholas sturgeon angus forbes angus robertson, kate forbes let's face one's really let's face it, noe's really ever of the old you. are ever heard of the old you. are they so there isn't that name recognition or that popularity and. was and. okay, yes, sturgeon was divisive, certainly had divisive, but she certainly had a who who did a constituent c who who did support her in scotland. and i think that the chances of think that the snp's chances of being electoral force that being an electoral force that we've the past 16 we've seen over the past 15, 16 years, i think are fading. so in a sort of perverse way then do you think that rishi sunak, who was for standing to was praised for standing up to sturgeon in transgender sturgeon in the transgender self—identification bill, actually could be seen as one of the reasons that she stood down and therefore that that vote that was being split will now benefit benefit yeah, benefit benefit labour. yeah, absolutely. don't absolutely. i mean, i don't think a think it's necessarily a purposeful , think it's necessarily a purposeful, you think

angus robertson, former westminster leader, now a government minister. the depu first minister, just to name three. whoever take leadership of the party has a big job on their hands, as james cook explains. james: it was interesting to hear a very personal speech from nicola sturgeon, quite a reflective speech from nicola sturgeon. she was talking a lot about the impact that being at the front of politics for so long had had on her and her family. also, as you say, this idea that she has become a polarizing figure in scottish politics, although i think to be totally honest with you, it is probably the issue of the constitution, the issue of independence, that is the realarizing factor rather than any one individual or anyone character. i suspect that whoever takes on the mantle of leadership of the scottish national party and therefore being first minister of scotland is likely to face some of the same challenges because there is a big debate about how the snp can move scotland closer to independence. clearly first minister nicola sturgeon has had a succ

i mean, in know, you know, it's angus medicine, us from the one to the 1820, the 2 largest economies of the world war, always china and india. so the return of china and india perfect the natural and it is going to happen. and frankly, the world will be at a time when you wish china tensions are going to increase the over the next 10 years. the world will be happy to see it totally independent. but all that creates a balancing role and tries to in some ways not these 2 big elephants to avoid that also on transportation. and as you know, india is firing to become a member of the un security council and which i think india should become what to be. but yesterday become a member. and then you went to go down to the best for india to build up is credentials as we become upon them. but the un security council is to show that it is completely independent the united states and china. and they can plea completely independent balancing all and say things to both power. lots of countries wanted to say, but are frightened to say perfectly well, we will leave that there. thank you so much, ambas

one possibility is the deputy first minister, john swinney, who has done thejob before, or angus robertsonnp westminster leader and now constitution secretary. the finance secretary, kate forbes, who is currently on maternity leave, the health secretary humza yousaf or the mpjoanna cherry, a critic of nicola sturgeon�*s leadership. nicola sturgeon wanted a referendum this october. when it was blocked by the supreme court, she announced a special conference due in march to discuss the way forward. now a way forward with a new leader. there is no obvious person who has the charisma of nicola sturgeon and alex salmond who might be able to do the job and to push support for independence up. but that's the task that will face them. and the risk undoubtedly is that the party can't find somebody who can provide it with the kind of leadership that both mr salmond and ms sturgeon have provided it with, can't unite it on the independence strategy, can't appeal to the public, and therefore, as a result, the independence movement goes backwards. nicola sturgeon said she's confident her successor will
