katya's colleagues behind the scenes sometimes call her the iron lady, she is a beauty, an athlete, sheple, many soldiers owe their lives to her. the most important quality, it seems to me, she had honesty, during all this time she never told anyone a lie, that's one thing, the second, no matter how much it hurt her. and gto, she participated in competitions, she did push-ups well, she did pull-ups well, she ran, that is, she got good physical qualities in our college, that's why she was in combat, because she was resilient, she got hardened, she ran, she also ran on her own, she has a strong character, these are the kind of students, they are remembered very well, because she was very... capable, purposeful, she knew why she came to study, the subject was very easy for her, because of her curiosity, she never left any unknown questions, she always tried to get solid, strong knowledge, it was very interesting to talk to her, because it was clear that she directed her knowledge to... a strong feeling, just inside, such calm, complete silence, no feelings, no emotions, no fear, nothing, w

speed, serving as foreign secretary, then chancellor for margaret thatcher before replacing the iron lady. he picks a cabinet whose apparent emphasis is on party unity. but battles over europe, sleaze and party divisions threatened his leadership... in short, it is time to put up or shut up. ..and by the time he was unseated in 1997, it was to tony blair and a labour landslide. in a very rare interview, the man once held to epitomise our meritocratic ideals is passionate about what his party, his country and his generation need to do to fix britain's problems to restore its pride and thrive in the 21st century. sirjohn major, very good to see you. thank you very much indeed for agreeing to speak to me. i can't help but note that you don't often do tv interviews these days, so i must start by asking why you've agreed to do this one. chuckles it's a rather unusual question but i'll give you a strictly truthful answer. there were two reasons, really.

she came to be known as the baltic iron lady. she does happen to have a black belt in karate, but in part, it was for her tough stance against russia's influence which she said was characterized by aggressiveness and a willingness to overthe boundaries. she's criticized russia as a tariff state which carries out an open aggression against its neighbors. she has a close relationship with georgetown. she came here to study in a very special program shortly after lithuania declared its independence from the soviet union she told me while she was here, she experienced real freedom, opened and friendly people in a vibrant and academic life. the experience had a profound impact on her. she said she went home with vision for her country in her heart and what could be. and she traveled with us to poland for strategic planning with them. and now for the citation. for her long-standing commitment to public service, democracy and a better life for her people, even when confronted with seeming insurmountable challenges, for demonstrating tha

it's my honest view that the iron lady would probably be a reform uk supporter.orm. she would probably campaign for them , would probably campaign for them, and she would likely seek to serve them as leader if she were around today and that is truly. love them or hate them, reform uk are looking like the real conservatives now. it may be their party conference this week, but the party's over for the tories . now folks, i'll get the tories. now folks, i'll get reaction from my top pundits in just a moment. but live in birmingham is patrick christys himself, and he's at the gb news party. what are the vibes? what's going down, patrick? what's going down, patrick? what's the goss ? what's the goss? >> well, you just said that the party is over. it's certainly not over here. come with me. the queueis not over here. come with me. the queue is absolutely massive for us here. back it up. so i mean, this is the hottest ticket in town. and if you don't believe me, you can tell that because even the bbc are here. let's keep on walking down for us. we've got a chat from the

. >> as someone who's always been a great fan of the iron lady, i just thought it was interesting thatto draw on her, on her heritage . on her, on her heritage. >> no, james gave a good performance. they all did. i hope and believe robert will be in the final, not taking anything for granted, but he's led the mp ballot in two rounds. i think he'll probably get into the final. then the question will be who's he going to be up against? >> yes, and that's the big, big question. i can see a plausible path to all of them. i think we've just been hearing cheers for tom tugendhat during this conversation. he has apparently 60 members of staff with him at this conference. the operations are huge. the free gifts are huge. robert jenrick has been making the joke all conference that there are so many free gifts being given out by all of the different candidates. it's a it's a wonder the prime minister hasn't turned up. >> yes, if you were short of a pen when you turned up, you're not short of a pen. now >> no, but here's the question. does robert jenrick get through to the final and against whom?

you already said you need to do for 11 and he's only 12 percent funded. iron donors to step up the ladies and gentlemen of the nav. yeah. the conflict in the middle east is getting worse by the all us. and the warnings about the only freaking pets of escalation. keep coming to pass. every expedite every new site launch. every rockets fire pushes piece for that also bridge and makes the softening even worse for the meetings of cvd in scope in to be though that is why we cannot and will not give up on all calls for an immediate cease fire the most in gaza. and living on the mediates and conditional release of hostages. and they need this live saving gay to all those who desperately needed. and that is why we cannot and we will not give up all calls for the civil action. but a 2 state solution between israel and palestine, all people in the region, these are the leaves in peace. it's like thank you mr. secretary, a john the saw a lot of the tv station yesterday that on in photo in minnesota in beta said, uh for the cease fire to take place in the oven on it should 1st take place. and does th

you're both i don't think so, ladies, i love the view too, but nice. try right? i mean, ironically, she was actually there to talk about a policy that is a differentiator theater from what president biden has done, one that i can tell you, having taken care of my father when he was dying would have been tremendously helpful. so i wish you would have referred to that but yeah, i didn't expect that she was going like, okay, here's my list of things. she wouldn't home help, but i think the question for some is she's still trying i appeal to those moderates, maybe disaffected republicans. >> they may have actually wanted to hear her say something she's a six-year-old woman of color just everything about her radiates a difference from president biden. >> i would have loved to hear her be a little more honest about the last 3.5 years have been like, the reason why so many democrats are excited about her is because she is not president biden. >> and i had to ask you, alyssa, though, because there was this speaking of those disaffected republicans who are not voting for trump, but not yet
