. >>> then david miliband on the consequences on the ground in syria. and i'll ask our trump so-called china whisperer, billionaire stephen schwarzman when he thinks the trade war between the two world's largest economies will end. >>> and a novel idea to put a divided america back together and get the two sides talking, really talking. but first, here's my take. i have long opposed the various efforts to impeach donald trump. overturning an election should be a rare event undertaken in only the most extreme circumstances. the process would create deep wounds in an already divided nation. and as a practical matter, since it's highly unlikely that a republican controlled senate would vote by a two-third majority for conviction, the political effect could well be to indicate trump and aid his re-election. but the events of the last few weeks have led me to support an impeachment inquiry. to direct american foreign policy for personal political gain is the definition of abuse of power. but what has bee troubling than that phone call to ukraine is trump's r

i'll give you one example, former british foreign secretary david miliband, now head of the internationalnd in northern syria. he said "worse crimes are coming to pass. there are war crimes against civillians, a grave danger to children. as a result this is not a safe zone you are creating but a killing zone". this is unacceptable. i have to disagree, and what he has said is unacceptable for us, and there are some claims and sometimes... but you see the dirty propaganda as well. rupert colville, a spokesperson for the united nations human rights organisation, has said that there are hundreds... he says, "we urge the turkish authorities immediately to launch an impartial, transparent and independent investigation and to apprehend those that are responsible, some of whom should be easily identifiable from the video footage they themselves shared on social media." and that is about a turkish woman politician... a syrian kurdish politician, woman, who was killed and the footage has been shown... that's exactly what i was trying to say, there is a dirty propaganda, yes, but nevertheless whatev

remember when gordon brown had that speech about no time for a novice, plainly aimed at david milibanday right into david miliband's face. on this occasion whoever it was read the speech ahead of time, or perhaps it was not finished in time to allow people that privilege, they were not quick enough. you have both come back from manchester, how would you assess the week? it has been really odd, hasn't it? bizarre because it was so normal. it was briefed that it would be no—deal brexit rally and it was just a normal conference. we had announcements about the nhs on sunday, we had the george osborne style national minimum wage on monday, which is the classic then we have been doing for years. it felt quite normal, which given the circumstances and the date was a bit odd. there was that slight air of unreality. we can see and the businesses we now work with can see the challenges that are confronting the challenges that are confronting the uk government, we know boris johnson is in a weak position, he was having his tail tweaked by jeremy corbyn and others over the timing of the general el

into law by updating the labour government's great achievement of the climate change at, which david milibandent need to reduce our emissions is the starting point for the green industrial revolution. we would unleash it in every pa rt revolution. we would unleash it in every part of our country, creating hundreds of thousands of skilled jobs across britain, and building a cleaner, healthier and more rewarding economy for the future. yesterday, i visited a state—of—the—art wind turbine facility at southampton, and discussed our plans for an increase in the offshore wind capacity. that would create 70,000 jobs, that is the kind of ambition we need, the ambition that will ensure we reach our targets and make our contribution to saving our planet. under our plan, the public would ta ke under our plan, the public would take a 51% stake in the new offshore wind farms and will reinvest those profits in coastal communities and in other green measures. the local communities will decide how that money is spent. let's be clear, labour will ban fracking in this country. cheering applause and we will rol

editor at the spectator, laura trott, former adviser to david cameron, now at portland communications, and miatta fahnbullah, former adviser to ed milibandtes who were just here a short time ago, quite a nervous time for them but because they are going out to try and win seats, how does it work if you are new to this, does the central office hang over your shoulder to see what you are doing? definitely a lot the briefing given out to candidates. there is also a degree of you're looking for who the future stars are going to be so your spokespeople during the campaign are not selected at random. for the key cabinet posts it is focus groups, looked at, pictures of people and then add new b level, you're looking at who is appealing to voters, how does it match in terms of diversity so yes people are watched by central office. miatta fahnbulleh, when you are talking to the labour candidates who are saying you don't want to do a brexit, all about the general election, obviously trying to ship it to minor issues which is why labour want to go. that will be a consistent line. you will hear labour candidates talking very little about brexit and t
