ben wallace was a very good defence secretary but even, ben wallace was up secretary but even, ben wallacet and the treasury that the ministry of defence can't really have more money even though they want defence to do more things. there is a structural problem of defence expenditure which we have had now for over a decade and that won't get any better. so there may be a few announcements to be made about a bit more money here or there but it all depends on the rate of inflation. but if inflation is at 2%, the treasury's original target, then the defence ministry can balance the books. but if defence inflation is above that and we all expect it to be some way above that, then they can't and that is a problem that no defence secretary will make between now and the election. d0 will make between now and the election. , :, ~ election. do you think the transition _ election. do you think the transition from _ election. do you think the transition from ben - election. do you think the i transition from ben wallace election. do you think the - transition from ben wallace to election. do you thin

i have to say when ben wallace came in, he did see it as one of his mainjobs to wallace came in, he didt as one of his main jobs to overhaul that policy. and to help more people. and he is a people person, he cares about people and he cared about afghanistan and i think as a former soldier, about afghanistan and i think as a formersoldier, he about afghanistan and i think as a former soldier, he did understand the value of the interpreters. and with all that in mind, i did write a book which is out today about one family in particular who managed to come to the uk because of ben wallace. it also about the wider issue of interpreters and lots of different stories of those who suffered as a result of their work with the british forces. figs suffered as a result of their work with the british forces.— suffered as a result of their work with the british forces. as you say, because of— with the british forces. as you say, because of his _ with the british forces. as you say, because of his own _ with the british forces. as you say, because of his own back _ with the british forces. as you say

now she has materialized, i propose to listen to fragments from that resignation letter, which ben wallace to ask permission to resign. i took this position in 2005. and after so many years of work, the time has come for you to be engaged, but i know that you have something to offer to the public life, both here and abroad. peugeot is aware that a few months ago, when the issue of replacing the current nato secretary general was being actively discussed, the opinion that britain was expecting a series of possible e conflicts, including threats emanating from russia, china and the middle east also he unexpectedly stated in an interview that kiev apparently confused the uk with an online store, as large and large deliveries of weapons are required, and also let me remind you that a year ago , ben wallace was played by russian pranksters in this conversation. he. in fact, he confirmed that he had stolen his own stock before. these are the means of warfare, as far as grant sheps is concerned, it is obvious that the change for himself of the military-political leadership of great britain sheps,

in which it relies on the support of the public , so he will continue the work that started by ben wallace, another thing is with what funds he will displan, i.e. how much money will he have and whether he will be able to fully replenish those stocks in warehouses with weapons er-e with weapons that were formed in the greatest great britain when it was actually emptied and the stocks er-e transferring his weapons and ammunition to the armed forces of ukraine, but the priority for him in this position will undoubtedly be, first of all, strengthening the development of the british armed forces, which he said after committing to support ukraine for as long as it takes how much will it be? he then said that he would protect the interests of brave servicemen in the government, and the servicemen consider this to be the main test for the new minister in this position. will he be able to adequately represent the interests of the armed forces, in particular when it comes to financing, or will he be able to obtain a reshi sonek from the government to finance military needs and britain's military al

it is said that ben wallace are lead by example on ukraine.al staff of the british army. what is your first reaction of grant shapps taking up the role of defence secretary? here is a very experienced _ the role of defence secretary? haze: is a very experienced cabinet minister. he has held many major portfolios in time, and now he's become the secretary of state for defence. this will be a real challenge for him, going into any new department i'm sure it is a challenge for any minister, but the world of defence is particularly complex. it's very difficult. he will have to work very hard to understand his portfolio at the whitehall level, and what the culture is in the armed forces. his resignation pointed out to the prime minister,... the big question here, is grant shapps going to be a political appointee to create a task, to be supporting the promising cabinets, is he going to understand the needs of the fans. if he believes defence needs greater funding, will he be willing to enter that discussion when the treasury and i do the task force

when ben wallace said that way.pment, more weaponry and so on, are you still anxious that perhaps, particularly with america , the particularly with america, the and the political change there, that you may have to really push to get this aid still coming through ? through? >> first of all, we again, we are very much grateful . great are very much grateful. great britain united states, as a fifth president of ukraine and as a supreme commander in chief. i can tell you weapons is never enough. but without your assistance, nothing can happen. and the more weapons you will supply, the sooner would be victory. and i want to especially thank the great britain for the storm shadow missile because when we have this technology for more than 200km, this is definite help us to destroy the ammunition storage. the russian headquarters and many, many other things. that's why please more weapons , more sanctions and more weapons, more sanctions and membership for ukraine in nato. this is three key factor of our future victory. >>

"nothing is more important than

rishi sunak did not win ben wallace's support, who was grant shapps's predecessor during the... as much to spend as was trusted. part of this is to try and avoid the showdowns we are seen previously, although it could be a different in terms of when you are looking at funding issues for defence, grant shapps may take a different approach to ben wallace. lets talk about the person who is taking over the energy and net zero department, and that is claire coutinho. there's been a bit of eyebrow raising, because climate change, net zero, they should really be a priority, some people are saying. if there are changes in ministers this often, how can we then be sure that this ministry is going to have the kind of attention it needs? i going to have the kind of attention it needs? ~ . ., it needs? i think the churn of ministers. — it needs? i think the churn of ministers, particularly - it needs? i think the churn of ministers, particularly if - it needs? i think the churn of ministers, particularly if you | it needs? i think the churn of - ministers, particularly if you think about the

message, zelenskyi said 41 times thank you to the ex-minister of defense of the united kingdom , ben wallacented at the nato summit that the british would like to see more gratitude from ukraine for military support . resignation, it was he who actively advocated for more active support of ukraine and providing it with advanced weapons , including modern fighter jets. while other partners of kyiv spoke about it more careful, however, as he himself became in july, ukraine's requests sometimes surprised him, i suggest you listen, you know, we are not amazon , sometimes you ask countries to give up their own stockpiles of weapons, sometimes you have to convince legislators on the capital hills of america, whether we want it or not, but people want to see a little gratitude. it has already been announced on the old street that grand sheps will be the successor of ben wallace as the minister of defense of great britain, and in the first post he announced his intentions to continue supporting ukraine now let's talk about the reshuffle in the government of great britain, contact us, an expert on fo

my colleague boris ivanovnin ben wallace has just resigned from the post of minister of defense. is news with a memo urgently on british television , the sensation did not become his resignation. politics, but still sent a farewell letter to the prime minister. rishi self-praised sununku the ministry of defense is on its way to being world class again with top notch people, the united kingdom is respected all over the world for our armed forces and that respect. only increased after the hostilities in ukraine, this phrase about the path to the world level outraged many britons coming out under the leadership of oles' department. the level has not been reached in london, the press has repeatedly criticized the state of the royal forces in total, 40 combat-ready tanks and dozens of frigates and destroyers wrote the daily mail. is this the force that can be threatened by russia, as the former scottish guardsman, the scottish guards regiment, tried to kick tsar nicholas i in 1853 in the crimea, we can always repeat this check by the guardsmen. the whole world , in fact, ollis signed

he replaces ben wallace at the ministry of defence. from government. but listen to this warning in his resignation letter. i genuinely believe that over the next decade the world will get more insecure and more unstable, and after years of fighting hard for the defence budget, he added, we must not return to the days when defence was viewed as a discretionary spend by government and savings were achieved by hollowing out. the big ruestion achieved by hollowing out. the big question here _ achieved by hollowing out. the big question here is _ achieved by hollowing out. the big question here is grant _ achieved by hollowing out. the big question here is grant shapps - achieved by hollowing out. the big. question here is grant shapps going to bejust a political appointee whose primary task, if you like, will be to support the prime minister in cabinet? or is he going to really understand the needs of defence, and if he believes that defence, and if he believes that defence needs greater funding, defence, and if he believes that defence ne

ben wallace was really forward leaning on this.is what ukraine needs, this is what we're going to supply them. and in fact, if anything, he was kind of one step ahead of the americans. the americans are much more cautious. they were very wary of upsetting the russians to the point that this war could spill out over into nato's borders, into nato countries. ben wallace decided clearly that putin was bluffing and that he wasn't going to retaliate in that way. so he started sending more and more lethal equipment, challenger 2 main battle tanks, stormer long range missiles, giving the go ahead and support for f—16 training, even though britain doesn't have f—16 fighter planes. but britain was one of those countries to say, yes, we need to give this to ukraine and let's help the dutch and the danes give them training for that. so that was quite controversial. i think that's probably one of the reasons why the white house didn't back his bid to become nato's secretary general. we nato's secretary general. have these pictures in r because

here, unlike ben wallace.er served in the army, so it's hard to imagine what a collapse after the appointment of sheps as head of the military department could befall the already decrepit british defense; now the royal army has been reduced to a minimum since the napoleonic wars. boris ivanin, olga albukhina and konstantin sergunin in yuzhno-sakhalinsk, an emergency mode was introduced due to a downpour, according to the ministry of emergencies , a sharp rise in the water level in the rivers is predicted in five districts of the region. the department warns that some parts of the regional capital may be flooded, as city authorities reported for elimination and consequences of bad weather , an operational headquarters was created and it was headed by the mayor. at the beginning of autumn, the inhabitants of our country are waiting for several innovations. important changes to touch. for example, the social sphere, so russians over 80 years old are doubled the fixed part of the pension. it will grow 7.500 rubles

i'm gonna reach back to the united kingdom and ben wallace who echoed the us saying we can't have a new member in the middle of a conflict that would just import war into the lions. and it really baffles me how this was never considered before. has the lensky always worked into it because the p a has been a catastrophic, even the photographs of the lensky just standing on his own, completely excluded from what's going on when, when we think about it, they say, when allies agree, when they've been able to agree in recent times, they've been divided over a success to stolen back divided the class. the buttons now divided over a key if and yet the headlines will read, that nato has been more united than ever. you only need to do a very quick google search on the minimum requirements for nato membership, and the us state department itself and it's archive explicitly states. there is no checklist for membership, but it does say we made it clear at a minimum there are 5 following requirements. number one, you members must uphold democracy, including tolerating diversity. you're absolutely rig

i'm gonna reach back to the united kingdom and ben wallace who echoed the us saying we can't have a new member in the middle of a conflict that would just import war into the lions. and it really baffles me how this was never considered before. how's the lensky always worked into it? because the p. a has been a catastrophic, even the photographs of the lensky just standing on his own, completely excluded from what's going on when, when we think about it, they say when allies agree, when they've been able to agree in recent times, they've been divided over a success to stoughton bug divided the cluster bottoms now divided the key if and yet the headlines will read that nato has been more united than ever. you only need to do a very quick google search on the minimum requirement is for nato membership, and the us state department itself is archive explicitly states. there is no checklist for membership, but it does say we made it clear the minimum. there are 5 following requirements. number one, you members messed up, hold democracy including tolerating diversity. you're absolutely right.

and again, i'll refer back to ben wallace single. we don't want to import war into the alliance and you have the same people of engaging in this property. well, they just the ones that directly at them. so they're happy to attack rusher and facilitate the death of russian soldiers, but they don't want to risk their own, their own soldiers and people. this g 7 nonsense is probably again, whether just gonna line up take photographs and pass each other on the back and lots about how they've all invested in the right arms manufacturers. and that's it . that's the economic side as far as i can tell. well it absolutely. yeah. also it will. yeah. let's talk about the issue of cluster bombs. i mean, again, rules based order and all of this nonsense they liked to talk about here. that is a very dangerous escalation. and russian, russian doesn't start big, go up the escalation ladder. it usually follows that. it's gonna follow this one for sure. yeah. so it's part of modern militarism that do you see problems only with one and 2 in your tool b

at first glance , it seems similar, but last month, british defense minister ben wallace, in one of his informal comments to the press, said that for ukraine it is important that its gratitude was seen, as the minister said, so that the countries of the world would continue to be ready to help ukraine in times of war, and in ukraine this was also interpreted as an insult, and the ukrainian president, in particular, tried settle it with certain jokes that, er, not everyone accepted either, but it actually ended with the settlement of the problem, er, the british minister of defense, ben wallace, explained that he was misunderstood, that he actually does not consider ukrainians ungrateful, but simply considers it necessary to emphasize that this gratitude was more obvious and convincing, in particular for those governments that are hesitating, and the main difference between these situations is obviously that there were no calls from the ambassadors of britain and ukraine, there were no statements from high-ranking officials. and we can already see the statement of the polish prime minist

well, finally it came to uh, secretary of defense ben wallace, but in place of ben wallace we have already grand schnapps. so let's remember how children of captain grant schnapps, so here he was before that minister, uh energy security and carbon neutrality. and the british ministry of defense is just known for supplying shells with a combined murat. yes, to ukraine, that is, he’ll be engaged, as i understand it, directly the opposite, but the position of the uk on the basis of a change in leadership will not change, and i am sure that their contacts and work, especially the work of the special services, which coordinate this activity and give clear recommendations. where what to supply what contacts to make and how you can influence the process will remain clear to us. uh, with our stereotype of behavior, as a rule, we have a secretary of defense. this is a man in uniform, whatever it was, who, but you understand what armies are, and at the same time time understands what their politics is. uh, especially the appointments. defense ministers, including women, i 'm always in such a dire pr

we knew there would be a reshuffle, because ben wallace, the former defence secretary, had said beforewere changing, he didn't get the nato general secretary role that he very much wanted, so he announced before the summer but after a number of years as defence secretary, very well respected, a lot of tributes paid to him across all of the parties this morning for his work as defence secretary, but he said that he was going to be standing down, so it was always expected that rishi sunak was going to need to fill that post. grant shapps was not one of the names that has been in the mix in all of these weeks that we have been looking forward to the reshuffle. grant shapps was not one of the names that was touted by tory sources as a person who was going to fill that role, but he is a very experienced minister. he is often somebody you will find on the airwaves if there is a crisis moment for the government, oraftera is a crisis moment for the government, or after a tricky couple of days, it is often grant shapps who is sent out. he has had a number of cabinetjobs, including for other cab

and if he believes that defence needs greater funding, as ben wallace did, will he be willing to entere treasury, and argue the toss for greater resources for defence? because that is what the ministry of defence needs. we will have more on that story later on verified live. let's now turn to the united states because search and rescue teams have been combing through damaged properties in florida in the wake of the hurricane that hit yesterday. officials have warned it could take time to reach remote areas in the south—eastern us state — with routes blocked by high water or downed trees. efforts are being made to reconnect hundreds of thousands of homes without power. i'm feeling great. the house is still here, but there are so many houses that are gone. and so much stuff around. i've never seen anything like this. as i rode through town, trying to get to my house, you see trees uprooted, power lines, you know, laying in the road. and it'sjust pretty devastating. it took a toll on this town. we stayed in the wal—mart parking lot last night and the wind - wasjust howling, howling. and w

it is interesting that a key ally of ukraine and the head of the british ministry of defense, ben wallaceresigned today about how personnel changes will affect support for the kiev regime , alexander khabarov will tell in london grandships entered politics in 2005 year in the british government. he changed several positions, including the posts of minister of transport and the ministry of defense, sheps traveled to kiev, where he officially promised the ukrainian authorities $245 million to purchase a nuclear mine. in any case, from his statement. it is clear that in relations between kiev and london, everything remains the same, starting to work in mimim women in our armed forces. we will continue to support ukraine the british press emphasizes that sheps sheltered a family of ukrainian refugees in his house in march last year. he distinguished himself by detaining a yacht in london on the grounds that it belonged to richardanat. fearful the fact that political appointments. can break firewood at a new post. now this is a difficult job for me, it will take him some time to get up to spee

but in the uk , it did happen, the promised resignation of ben wallace.rter of pumping weapons to ukraine, left the post of minister of defense of the country's military department. he has been in charge since july 1919 1.5 months ago and announced that he was tired, as they say, he intends to devote himself to what he did not have enough time for due to his political career, when some political scientists believe that it was not the workload that knocked down the ex-minister, but the absence support from the united states washington had previously rejected wallace's candidacy for the post of new gensei ropes. in addition, at the recent summit of the alliance around the british , a scandal erupted, commenting on the growing appetites of the zelensky regime, the policy accused kiev of ingratitude and emphasized the pier. nato is not an online store. it is already known who has been appointed successor to pan street, as reported in downing street, the new minister of defense is the former grand shaps, the head of the ministry of energy. relations between mo

conservative party low make a grand shop, says britain's new defense minister ships takes out of the from ben wallace who announced his resignation today in a way that the prime minister wishes to knock. wallace said he was unhappy with the government plans to cut defense in town. no story has launched to ballistic missiles and what it calls a simulated nuclear strike. the missiles travelled more than 360 kilometers before landing in the sea off the eastern coast. young's ballistic missiles, a band by the un security council, which has imposed sanctions on the machine. thailand's former prime minister, text ignition of what has requested a royal pod text and was admitted to a hospital shortly after returning to try when type thailand rather last week off to gaze in so exhaust, you must still said i. e, as in prison, for corruption and abuse of power, world and bridge, and the latest cooling for opportunity to constitutional rule. in gabon, a day after the military seized power, the, the european union has condemned the coo and cold for restraint on both sides. the african unions pace and security cou

mr shapps succeeds ben wallace, who has resigned and is standing down from parliament at the next generalor of the royal united services institute think tank. he was asked how the the uk�*s defence community could react to the appointment of grant shapps as the new defence secretary. i think they shrug their shoulders and say, well, this makes no real difference. we all know nothing is going to change until the election and whoever is elected next time round will have to grip defence in a different way. and the fact is, you know, we have defence ambitions which are above our level of preparedness to fund it. the government always assumes that the public don�*t want to spend more than about 2% of our gdp on defence. in reality, the public never gets asked about this. i think the public might have a different view about it now that we�*re in the middle of a big war in europe. but the governments, all governments have said labour and conservative governments have assumed that the public has no appetite to fund defence beyond the the level that we more or less funded that now. and i don�*t th

ben wallace has been in _ morning. good morning, naga. ben wallace has been in the _ morning.to rishi sunak. perhaps the most intriguing name being discussed this morning by mps and in pages of the daily telegraph and elsewhere is that of liam fox. he was defence secretary under david cameron for a year before having to resign under something of a cloud although he has returned to government since then under theresa may. appointing him, someone outside government, it would make thejob of someone outside government, it would make the job of the prime minister a little easier because it would mean he would not have to have a wider reshuffle, he could say that for another day. no word from downing street at the moment but we do expect a name today.— street at the moment but we do expect a name today. thank you very much. let's have a look at the weather. good morning, everybody. this morning is a pleasant start to the day for many of us as you can see from this picture taken earlier in york. there is rain around. we already have rain in the south—west of england but also through
