robin on the whole chagos islands. chagos islands. sorry.entina vows to gain full sovereignty over the falkland islands after starmer's surrender of chagos islands to mauritius. well, i'm sure it was starmer, but he's obviously got david lammy as the foreign secretary there. >> so, you know, and the argument is it was james cleverly who kicked off the negotiations and cleverly coming out yesterday saying this is an absolute disgrace . and labour absolute disgrace. and labour were quick to rebut him, saying, well, hang on a minute. it was you that kicked off the negotiations. david cameron put the handbrake on it and said, absolutely no way. and labour have just continued. apparently what cleverly kicked off, well, i just, i what cleverly kicked off, well, ijust, i don't what cleverly kicked off, well, i just, i don't you what cleverly kicked off, well, ijust, i don't you know, what cleverly kicked off, well, i just, i don't you know, what what cleverly kicked off, well, ijust, i don't you know, what i i just, i don't you know, what i think i

but the truth is contested sovereignty of the islands . but the truth is that islands.h is that this deal will be costly in the long term, as we pay through to the nose have a military base there, it undermines britain's allies in the region and gives china the chance of gaining a military foothold in the indian ocean. well done everyone. after the disastrous handover of hong kong to china, the residents of which have now lost free speech, political expression and open markets, we shouldn't be doing anything that helps the chinese whatsoever . so which other whatsoever. so which other british territories are we going to give away? maybe we should give away bristol as an apology for slavery. perhaps we should give away stratford upon avon. we know what a dreadful coloniser william shakespeare was. how long will it be before starmer doesn't just hand over wales to a foreign autocratic regime ? as an apology for tom regime? as an apology for tom jones ? this is a strategic jones? this is a strategic military , cultural and political military, cultural and political mistake

i'm not sure _ -- of the chagos island? i'm not sure it — -- of the chagos island?inly not the priority here. the government has very much presented it todayis has very much presented it today is a big win, but mostly on the strategic elements of this. this is a good dealfor the strategic base, this lease, and also that it will have an impact on closing a potential migration route to the uk. now, as you've already reflected, conservative mps and foreign ministers have been up in arms today, saying this is a trail of national interest, this is something that several of them have said they have tried to block or blocks while recently in office. to which labour has a meal he replied that this was all started by james cleverly —— has immediately replied. i think the biggest issue is the questions about china. mauritius is an ally of china, and while the government so far has been dismissing this line of argument, it doesn't seem to be a strategy of this government towards china, towards the region. this almost looks like they came across something that was presented by

and the press is wondering, which islands will be next? the answer is in argentina. citizens of mauritius have managed to reclaim the territory of chaga, a milestone that marks the end of the last english colony in africa. we welcome this step in the right direction. following the path that we began with concrete actions, not empty rhetoric, we are going to restore full sovereignty over our malvinas islands, but analysts are unanimous in their opinion that argentina is unlikely to get the malvinas islands, not the falkland islands, firstly, the west does not seek the loyalty of south american countries, unlike african ones. secondly, the inhabitants the falkland islands voted in a referendum back in 2013 to retain their status as a british overseas territory. thirdly, london has repeatedly stated that it does not plan to return to the issue of the islands' ownership, no matter what buenos aires wants. anna voronina, anna pogonina, evgeniya zemtsova, news. and on the eve of teacher's day, mikhail mishustin presented awards to teachers from border regions. the head of

but let's just talk the falkland islands , the talk the falkland islands, the falkland islands want to live there decide. and there's 2000 people live there. i've been there. they're absolutely 100% british. and while we're at it, we gave 255 lives to take back the falklands in 1982. and something like 777 people were wounded. that's british blood . we've shed that's british blood. we've shed blood to protect the falklands and actually they want us to be there and we should remain there. >> it's a question of perception as well around the world, isn't it? now, i have had my issues with david lammy. well, not just david lammy, but in this case it's relevant because he's foreign secretary continually. in my view, talking down british history and britain's past and our role in the world. and now we've seen the chagos islands go , we've seen the chagos islands go, the argentinians are, you know, ramping it up again as they do every now and again. but my concern would be the perception around the world of britain under this labour government, given what we've seen, is that we are gettable a

the islands public electrical utility. since then, they've undergone a major overhaul of management operations and finances. this included entering into the private partner public ships that ties the management of most of their assets. in 2021, there electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure was awarded to luma energy and in 2023, operations of the thermal generation assets were awarded. at the federal level, the doe, fema and hud are engaged in efforts in rebuilding puerto rico's electrical grid. of the three federal agencies, the federal emergency management agency provides the lion's share of federal funding. of the $21 billion of federal funds obligated for rico, possibly 16.8 billion are fema funds. it's been seven years since hurricanes irma and maria and yet puerto rico continues to suffer major power outage incidents with no clear end in sight. to that end, i am deeply disappointed that our witnesses from the biden-harris administration have declined to testify today. as you can all see, our first pan

and maricia is for the return of the che, goes islands in east africa. but there's a catch, the largest auto diego garcia and we'll continue to host the u. s. military base of what we said movies here. fellow americans today is a historic day for our republic, following conversations with prime ministers or cure stormer. we have finally arrived at an agreement between england and the cha go silence. we are proud to announce that england through disagreement recognizes our sovereignty over cha, goes on excluding diego garcia. some thought that this was impossible because a small country like ours wouldn't be able to have a case against such great powers. despite all this, we weren't guided by our convictions to end of the colonized nation of our republic . gotcha. let's just some more background check. also has britain's last african colony consisting of were 6 the island and so located more than 9000 kilometers from the u. k. now london, forcibly expel chug all seasons from their loves to nearby my wishes on the 5th shells in the 1970s to accommodate the

this is claim to the islands and fine moves, while the u. k. had initiative resisted these movies, dismissing them as advisory opinion, it has now agreed to comply with the quotes decisions. how as far as part of the treaty, britain will retain control of the strategic military base on the diego castillo, which it operates jointly with the united states. that base is viewed as critical to global security with both the u. k and the united states emphasizing its importance. this government inherited a situation with a long time, secure operation of the diego go see a military base was on the threat with contested sovereignty and ongoing legal challenges. today's agreement secures these vital military base for the future. but she is say they remain powerless and voiceless in determining their own future and the future of the homeland. even going as far as the cooling off the west, over the fact that the deal they present as carrying and looking out for the local population is not even involved local population. in that negotiations. i forgot the i
