the chagos islands dealis rest of us. the chagos islands deal is perhaps the perfect example.m joined by the editor of the national pulse and key trump insider raheem kassam, live from capitol hill in washington dc. raheem, thanks for joining the show. >> professor. thank you for having me. >> so you are closer to the trump camp than pretty much everybody watching this show, and a lot more. pretty much everybody in westminster. just give us a view, if you could. from washington, trump to we're on the cusp of trump two. how is this going to be different, do you think from trump one. >> yeah, it's a it's an amazing question. and it's an amazing thing to think about because, you know, people will recall back in 2016 the victory was very much a shock victory. it even shocked president elect donald trump back then. i remember when nigel farage and i went up to see him in the penthouse at trump tower, you know, the famous golden elevator picture now. and the first thing he said to us was, is this a big deal? and we sort of were taken aback by the question and said, is what a big dea

chagos chagos one of my favourite islands than canvey. yes.course i've got a board game , of course i've got a board game, so. but i think what it is, i think what they were trying to do, they were trying to get it through and it was like a game, you know grandma, you know, i don't know what they call it in different cultures, you know, grandma's whispers or you know, the game where you're like creepy, like in a squid game where the thing turns around and they were trying to get the deal through, and it's like, then trump would turn around, what time is it, mr wolf? what time? yeah, exactly. >> so you're trying to understand our culture. i don't know what it's called in other cultures like yours. >> northern, because my wife plays it, but she she plays the new zealand version of it. but the point is, it was like trump was looking, and then we'd stop and be like, no, nothing to see here. and then trump would look away at his flags or whatever. we've got story we've got coming up, and then we're like, let's get the deal done. no. >> yeah. just f

in negotiations to reach a treaty over the future of the us and british military base in the chagos islands to mauritius has been pushing for changes to a proposed deal in which britain would relinquish sovereignty over the archipelago. let's get the latest from our diplomatic corresponded james landale. james, just give me your assessment in terms of what you're hearing of where we actually are with this deal. these talks continue, they are largely secret talks, we had ministers from mauritius in the uk last week for four days of talks. i think this is the 14th or 15th round of talks, these have been going on for well over a year, that is during the conservative ministration, for labour to power, so it's been going on a long time. we have newish government in mauritius who said the deal is agreed beforehand wasn't good enough, they want more money, they want some of the language changed so that's what they're haggling over. essentially the deal will be something like this, that the british say, we're not going to give more more money, the mauritius government is a bit short of cash you nee

they talked about the chagos islands, this deal that the uk side with the mauritius government.t could be a big moment for the relationship. we don't know that they talked about the uk government's plan to make peter mandelson the ambassador to the us. people around donald trump certainly have views on that, urging him to block that appointment. there are all sorts of tensions underlying about what was for now a very positive call. hello again. storm herminia is making its presence felt across our shores, so named by the spanish met service because of the impacts in spain. but the met office also has a couple of yellow weather warnings in force connected with the storm. so, wind for southern parts of england and wales valid until 6am tomorrow morning, and rain for wales valid until midnight tonight. so, we've got the rain that crossed us through the morning and overnight pushing up towards north—east scotland and rotating around the low pressure which is this storm. we've got squally showers — some heavy, some merging to give longer spells of rain — some hail and thunder mixed i

with potentially that we might see come up are things like the deal over the sovereignty of the chagos islands

the government says it will consult donald trump before finalising a deal to hand over the chagos islandst that would cede the territory but maintain control of the military base there it shares with the us. its already been greenlit by the biden administration, but incoming secretary of state marco rubio says the deal poses a "serious threat" due to mauritius having a trade agreement with china. sir keir starmer says he will look at "every conceivable way" to prevent the former sinn fein leader, gerry adams, from receiving compensation for being detained without trial during the troubles in northern ireland. you're live with bbc news. we're seeing reaction from world leaders to the ceasefire deal. the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres said the priority now had to be easing the tremendous suffering caused by the conflict. he said the un was ready to scale up the delivery of aid to palestinians. the head of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, said the agreement brought hope to the entire middle east. and britain's prime minister keir starmer said attention must

difference seem to have been left for another day, or potentially sidestep, for example, a deal in the chagos islandsthey discussed trade, neither of these readouts, these official accounts mentioned that other t word — tariffs — which of course has been much bandied about by the new president. here in the uk, pharmacy leaders are warning that some people with a history of eating disorders are being wrongly prescribed weight loss drugs. the national pharmacy association has written to regulators calling for tougher rules over the online sale of the medication and for face to face consultations to be made compulsory. 0ur reporter leigh milner has more. after giving birth to her two boys, 35—year—old alex harvey from plymouth struggled to lose weight. the weight—loss drug mounjaro. since may last year, she has lost 25% of her body weight and her body mass index — or bmi — has fallen. but alex says she was surprised at how easy she was able to get the medication. the pharmacy website were very clear at directing you to a kind of form where you would fill out lots of background information about your hea

they didn't talk about the chagos islands, this deal that the uk signed with the mauritius governmentof it, the us has a military base on diego garcia, one of these islands, but some allies of donald trump have been much more circumspect, cautious even about this deal. that could be a big moment for the relationship. we don't think they talked, we don't know that they talked, rather, that the uk government's plan to make peter mandelson, the former cabinet minister in the uk, ambassador to the us. as far as i'm uk, ambassador to the us. as faras i'm aware uk, ambassador to the us. as far as i'm aware donald trump doesn't have any views about that but people around him certainly do, urging him to block that appointment. there are all sorts of tensions underlying what clearly was, for now, a very positive call. henry, thank you very much. i know you'll keep an eye on all of those tensions for us, henry zeffman, chief political at westminster. there are reports of fighting around the democratic republic of the congo, amid reports that neighbouring rwanda has been closed. it follows claim

>> i mean, fundamentally, it's one of the issues and we've seen this with this sort of botched chagos island that's been going on at the moment that that keir starmer is, you know, as his position as a lawyer, human rights lawyer and director of pubuc rights lawyer and director of public prosecutions and all of that. he's more concerned with international legal obligations and the like and looking good on the international stage and actually dealing with this issue, which is a very domestic issue, which is a very domestic issue, and it requires tough decisions that may not please everyone outside of the united kingdom. >> yeah, yeah. no, absolutely. what we need is really some firm hard action on those who are coming in. there's no question that those who arrive illegally should not be considered for asylum. they should be removed at the first opportunity. i think it's impractical, frankly, to start sending frigates into the channel to interdict as as they say. however, i think i see no reason why we shouldn't direct the removal, and it's easy enough to do on on the ferries and send them bac

alr already, if we give the chagos islands to mauritius, mauritius says they'll lease us our own basefor about 9 billion pounds over ten years, already china is circling mauritius. already china is trying to be mauritius' best friend. and i don't have anything against the government of mauritius. they're wonderful people. i understand they want the money. they want our money. they want your money. they want us to pay them for our own military base. we need to stop this deal. president trump and secretary rubio need to pick up the phone and call prime minister stramer in the united kingdom and say with all due respect, stop dipping into your ketamine stash. put down the bong. we need this military base to combat china. don't do it. and if the president will do that, and the secretary of state will do that, i believe mr. starmer, who tried to ram this through the week before president biden took office but was stopped, i believe that he will give in. i don't have anything against mr. starmer. i don't have anything against the people of mauritius islands. i'm sure they're all wonderful p

it's good to speak to somebody from the chagos islands. yes. is from the chagos islands. yes.there, unlike our current government who didn't bother. so i'm wondering, what are your thoughts on this whole deal? would you have rather it had stayed within the british territories, or were you happy with the notion that it could have gone to mauritius? so thank you everyone for listening and the opportunity as well. so first of all, i would like to congratulate president donald trump to be in power. and tomorrow is a big day. and we counted all the succession is counted all the succession is counted behind donald trump to kill that deal because it is an advisory , an advisory that the advisory, an advisory that the icj said for the uk. yes. and chagos island never belonged to mauritius. our people, the indigenous of sadiq khan, is suffering and continues suffering and continues suffering in the hands of mauritius. and the uk government is not consulting any solution toward the situation was happening and it's really difficult to get support, uk support and dealing with officials fr

and is anyone thinking of the chagos islands for that matter? >> gbnews.com/yoursay do you understand why keir starmer is doing this? >> trying so hard to give away this territory? >> let us know gbnews.com/yoursay. but let's get the headlines with sofia. tom. emily. thank you. good afternoon. it'sjust tom. emily. thank you. good afternoon. it's just gone. 1:00. these are your headlines. sir keir starmer and kemi badenoch clashed over the uk economy at prime minister's questions today, following speculation over the chancellor's abilities, despite an unexpected drop in inflation to 2.5%. in december, kemi badenoch criticised the government over the economic situation and asked if sir keir would rule out further tax rises this year. >> his chancellor ignored all the warnings and ploughed ahead with an unprecedented borrowing spree, leaving all of us more vulnerable. now we have businesses saying they will raise prices to cover his jobs tax. we have an energy policy that will drive up bills and all the while we are spending more day to day on debt

keir starmers chagos islands deal has been delayed over concerns of chinese influence. >> the hold upows direct intervention from donald trump's team as the president elect begins the celebrations ahead of his inauguration on monday. >> but here in the uk, things aren't so rosy as it's revealed aren't so rosy as it's revealed a record number of millionaires have fled the nation since starmer's entry into number 10. >> last year alone, it's estimated over 10,000 millionaires migrated. the treasury is now facing pressure to revive the non—dom tax status, amid fears that more will leave. >> well, political commentator theo usherwood joins us now. theo, thanks for joining us. what do you make of this trip to poland for the prime minister and talking to donald tusk, donald tusk, saying he wants a return rather than brexit. what does that mean for the uk? >> well, look, we already know that keir starmer is looking for a reset with the european union. what keir starmer wants is to see a closer alliance when it comes to trade negotiations, particularly to help large companies which trade acro

group called great british political action committee has slammed labour's plan to surrender the chagos islands and pay mauritius an eye—watering £9 billion for the privilege. it slammed it as reckless and short sighted. now this little known group includes members. nigel farage, suella braverman, sir jacob rees—mogg and baroness kate hoey, who joins me today in the studio. and gerry adams could be in line for a british taxpayer funded payout because of keir starmers human rights plans. well, today the prime minister appeared to do a u—turn on the issue. on today's show, i'll speak to the son of a belfast police officer who was murdered by the ira. and that's all coming in your next houn as kemi badenoch got the bite to be a leader of the opposition. a few weeks ago, 500 tractors were outside whitehall. she didn't even mention them at pmqs. you could hear them inside a deafening cacophony of angry farmers simply ignored. today, tulip siddiq was put aside, resigned because of corruption charges. the anti—corruption minister following louise hague, who of course got the boot over a fraud allegati

seen it throughout british presume at the moment because were evident active debate about the chagos islandse united states because of our big base in diego garcia and keir starmer is of the view that they should hand it back and in this framework we are talking about, this expansionist strategy coming from washington, how will they view that question mark america? america will not be giving things— america will not be giving things back, i don't even think under— things back, i don't even think under a — things back, i don't even think undera different things back, i don't even think under a different president and donald — under a different president and donald trump, will americans give _ donald trump, will americans give things back, it wasjimmy carter— give things back, it wasjimmy carter giving away the panama canal, — carter giving away the panama canal, which is not popular, and — canal, which is not popular, and also _ canal, which is not popular, and also taking a second look at things— and also taking a second look at things like great britain is with— at things like great britain

other thing that's been discussed by everybody is what the hell were you thinking about with the chagos islandsgarcia? the honest truth is that our government is getting off to the worst possible start with the worst possible start with the incoming trump administration. and my other worry if we pivot towards the european union, that makes getting a trade deal of some kind with trump's america even more difficult. >> well, four days of special events are beginning. ahead of trump's inauguration as us president, thousands of people have been marching in protest today, including women's rights groups. the 47th president's inauguration will be the first to be held indoors since ronald reagan's in 1985, due to cold weather. temperatures are expected to drop to —14 degrees. and a £20,000 reward is being offered in the search for the parents of three babies abandoned in london. the three children, the third of which, elsa, was only an hour old when she was found abandoned in a carrier bag a year ago, are all siblings babies harry and roman were discovered in similar circumstances in 2017 and 2019, po

but also we're spending money on giving up the chagos islands. that's another £9 billion.lse is happy, you know, they're happy to hand over cash to everyone else other than our own. meanwhile, £22 billion is being taxed on the national insurance increase, etc, which of course is in turn leading to job cuts. actually they are. companies are cutting jobs at the fastest rate since 2009. i saw that and businesses are closing, which in turn relates into business confidence and consumer confidence in the uk economy. absolutely nosediving. and now of course, we see reeves left with a tiny, measly £1 billion, had fiscal headroom, which leaves her with either having to raise taxes again or cut public spending. so why are we spending money abroad when we should be focusing on our own. >> 15 billion zahawi is a big number, and i think the thing that lots of people at home will probably be struggling with, they'll be reading about what's going on in the nhs, people getting treatment in corridors, nurses treating british, people in car parks, in hospital gyms, families having to say go

unlike the party opposite, downing street says the uk's handover of the chagos islands to mauritius shouldreviewed by us president elect donald trump before moving forward. >> the agreement includes a 99 year lease for the joint uk us air base on diego garcia, but has sparked concerns over security ties with china. shadow foreign secretary priti patel has called the negotiations a complete humiliation, while the tory leader kemi badenoch, branded it a disastrous surrender of british territory. but the prime minister has defended the plan, insisting it ensures the military bases future and addresses what he described as wrongs of the past. and the prime minister says every effort will be made to stop gerry adams from receiving compensation for his detention dunng compensation for his detention during the troubles. sir keir starmer says repealing the legacy act deemed unfit and unlawful by the courts, might lead to payouts for mr adams and others, sparking criticism from the conservatives. the act blocks claims by over 400 people imprisoned in the 1970s, but labour says a replacement is bein

so keir starmers chagos islands deal has been delayed. this is partly the same now over concerns of chinese influence. well, they were there from the beginning. >> yes. so why not think of them then? anyway, the hold up follows direct intervention, apparently, from donald trump's team as the president elect begins the celebrations ahead of his inauguration on monday. >> well, here in the uk, things aren't so rosy as it's revealed aren't so rosy as it's revealed a record number of millionaires have fled the nation since mr starmer's entry to number 10 last year alone. >> it's predicted over 10,000. or it's thought that over 10,000 millionaires migrated, which we were told wouldn't happen. >> the treasury is now facing pressure to revive the non—dom tax status amid fears that more will leave. well, that's never going to happen, is it? no. >> joining us now, political commentator tim scott. a very good morning. >> good morning anne. good morning stephen. good to be on. morning. >> how much does it matter that millionaires are leaving? >> i t

other thing that's been discussed by everybody is what the hell were you thinking about with the chagos islandso garcia? the honest truth is that our government is getting off to the worst possible start with the worst possible start with the incoming trump administration. and my other worry if we pivot towards the european union, that makes getting a trade deal of some kind with trump's america even more difficult. >> meanwhile, for days of special events are beginning ahead of donald trump's inauguration as president, thousands of people are expected to march in protest, including women's rights groups. the 47th president's inauguration will be the first to be held indoors since that of ronald reagan in 1985, and that's because of cold weather. temperatures are expected to drop to —14 c back here. a £20,000 reward is being offered in the search for the parents of babies abandoned in london over eight years. the three children, the third of which, elsa, was only an hour old when she was found abandoned in a carrier bag a year ago, are full siblings. babies harry and roman were discovered in si

the chagos island deals. two weeks ago, the foreign office were trying to get it over the line.hen, of course, we knew that donald trump and marco rubio, the incoming secretary of state, were going to look very dimly on it because, of course, it would give a key influence to china and a very strategic, just very close to a strategic military base at diego garcia for the united states. no decision on that.in united states. no decision on that. in fact, the uk has now handedit that. in fact, the uk has now handed it over to donald trump to have the final say on the deal to have the final say on the deal. and then the key issue, another key issue is defence spending. of course, donald trump would like us, all countries, nato countries to be pulling their weight when it comes to spending on defence. he's sick and tired of the united states funding nato, supporting nato, especially with the war in ukraine. and that's got to come to a resolution. he'd like to see 5% of gdp in each country spent on defence. and keir starmer hasn't even set out a timetable as to when he plans to hit 2.5

they didn't talk about the chagos islands, this deal that the uk signed with the mauritius government with the mauritius government whilejoe biden was still president. joe biden was very supportive of it, the us as a military base on diego garcia, one of the islands. but some allies of donald trump have been much more circumspect, cautious even about this deal. that could be a big moment for the relationship. we don't know that they talked about the uk government's plan to make peter mandelson, former cabinet minister the uk ambassador to the us. as far as i'm aware, donald trump doesn't have views on the people around him certainly do, urging him to block that appointment. there are all sorts of tensions underlying what clearly was, for now, very positive call. henry zeffman. commemorations are being held to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz—birkenau concentration camp. we have heard from polish president duda today talking about the poles being the preservation as a memory. the focus of today's commemorations is very much the victims of the holocaust. here

might asking advance, the economy, the resignation of tulip siddiq, what is going on with the chagos islandswhat the implications may be for gerry adams. as it transpires, kemi badenoch over the course of six questions did all four topics and she mentioned a couple of other things into the bargain as well. it gave it a slightly odd field and it was certainly very combative on both of their parts. both leaders will feel they gave as good as they got. but we did not get that thing where the prime minister was forced to really zero in on a particular issue and face a really clear interrogation on just that issue. it was much broader and much more scatter—gun, but nonetheless kemi badenoch will feel she held the prime minister to account for himself. ~ ., prime minister to account for himself. ~ . . ., , , ., himself. what did particularly stand out for ou himself. what did particularly stand out for you given _ himself. what did particularly stand out for you given that _ himself. what did particularly stand out for you given that there - himself. what did particularly stand out for you given t

helen, just as we wait for the questioning in pmqs to start, you mention the chagos islands as well,ut ultimately it will be tulip siddiq that will be the main focus area for kemi badenoch. tulip siddiq was the exchequer to the treasury secretary which has ministerial responsibility for anti—corruption. to remind you why this has become an issue, she became involved in allegations of corruption that linked to her auntie, who was the former prime minister of bangladesh. there are claims that she helped broker a nuclear deal for russia and she denies this when the claims were first raised by political opponents by her auntie. there are also allegations around a flat that she was gifted in a london apartment block with a man with links to her aunt and other political affiliations have nothing to do with tulip siddiq, but she referred herself to the independent adviser ministerial standards and he looked at her case and didn't find any evidence of propriety she did not... but he said it was regrettable that she was not more alert to the potential reputational risks arising from her close

he was a list of things we establish they didn't talk about — defence spending, greenland, the chagos islands all the diplomatic achievement of having this call, and keir starmer will probably be in washington seeing donald trump within a few weeks, there are difficult issues where the two leaders start from very different perspectives still to come. , ., ~' very different perspectives still to come. , . ~ ,, very different perspectives still to come. , ., ~' ., come. henry, thank you. ithought wear-old — come. henry, thank you. ithought wear-old boy _ come. henry, thank you. ithought -year-old boy has _ come. henry, thank you. ithought -year-old boy has been _ come. henry, thank you. ithought -year-old boy has been remanded | come. henry, thank you. i thought l -year-old boy has been remanded in —year—old boy has been remanded in custody for the murder of leo ross, who was stabbed in a park last week. the defendant, who can't be named because of his age, appeared at birmingham magistrates' court, sitting as a youth court with a closed public gallery. i'll correspond it is outside the court.
