wants to do this week is put specific milestones and targets that the public can judge them by, isupposety prime minister... sorry, forgive me, the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, pat mcfadden, was on that laura kuenssberg show this morning explaining what they will be doing. targets for net migration in the country haven't worked well the country, numerical ones. so you are not going to have one? you might remember david cameron's target to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands. what has happened is it has gone up an awful lot in recent years. we do want to bring it down. but the exact number that you need will always ebb and flow, depending on the needs of the economy. so you are not going to have a target? we are not going to have a numerical target for net migration. 0k. but we are going to make sure that we do more to train our own workforce. no numerical target pat mcfadden was the for migration, but they want to bring numbers down. we can expect a figure on house building, early years education, the government saying they want to 0r building an nhs fit for the future

isuppose political issue both in the us and uk.the milestones, and none of them including any target on migration. and 70 or 80% of the questions he got from the audience and from the media were about why it was that he had not included a target for migration, and a lot of analysts say that that was a big misstep and it leaves a vacuum there for parties like reform uk to step in and say that the public care about this and it's something that consistently ranks in the top three things that the public are most concerned about. and they're saying here is evidence right now that this is

all of those who had been looking after him, which was quite a neat, light touch way of doing it, isupposeother thing to mention is the location. you said already — fitzrovia chapel. but that in itself tells us something. it's almost 20 years since a christmas message has come from outside buckingham palace, windsor castle or sandringham so the fact that he chose this former hospital chapel from which to deliver the message this year tells us a lot, too. it was an absolutely stunning location, as well. it did give it that very christmassy and beautiful feel to it. he also spoke about the importance and the power of community, and of course, he was reflecting on that absolute tragedy over the summer at southport. yeah, the power of community is a common theme historically in christmas messages from the monarch, but i think there was something quite particular in terms of how the king framed it this year. in terms of the commonwealth, hhe talked about australia and samoa and his visit there, and how it had reminded him that diversity is a strength, not a weakness — and that's how everybody s

and, i mean, isuppose, it's difficult — it's really difficult to find, right?water and it usually can just disperse really quickly. this one was a little bit harder and stayed clumped together in a way i wasn't expecting. i love how you describe this. isn't it magical? and i was able to just take handfuls and smush it into the jar. well done. thank you! laughter. this continent is unique. there's never been a war here. it's a land dedicated to science. we can look at the data in colombia, compare it with the antarctic peninsula and be able to monitor the population the whole way. the antarctic treaty is a global agreement drawn up more than 60 years ago that now has 56 signatories. it states that antarctica will be used for peaceful purposes and scientific cooperation. one of those permitted peaceful purposes is tourism, and that's growing. before the 1980s, just a few hundred people came here each year. in the summer season between 2022 and �*23, more than 100,000 people visited. and the kind of little boat shed on the shore there, that's now staff quarters. s

government will be, is sort of understandable, i suppose. government will be, is sort of understandable, isuppose is the american attitude. but the land grab that the israelis have done, seizing a big buffer zone, much bigger than they had before then they had before the golan heights, which is syrian territory and which is in violation of the un charter, they have seized the highest point and a whole bunch of other territory in the vicinity and it looks like they are hunkering down for the long run. they may be looking at another territorial expansion on top of many other expansions and it's very important that the world does not let israel bite off parts of syria and take advantage of the chaos. that would be unconscionable. israel is saying it is seeking to prevent weapons falling into the hands of others. medics in gaza say israeli airstrikes have killed at least 22 palestinians. the israel defence forces and hamas say one of those killed was the mayor of deir al—balah in central gaza. 13 others were killed there, including, medics say, at least 10 who'd gathered to receive aid. medics say at

and isuppose outspent trump and she lost. suppose the calculation here is that a government that is looking like it's trying to, you know, squash down, push back and insurgent and change the rules latterly that that actually the labour party itself benefited from in opposition. i think it got £4 million from the cayman islands. >> well from a uk islands. >> well from a u

and we've also got the sort of, isuppose and we've also got the sort of, i suppose the hot story at thehich is a weird way to put it. it's such a horrific story of the christmas market. and more information on this quy- and more information on this guy. and the guardian has sort of reprinted this idea that he was into far right conspiracy theories, which i find highly questionable. i mean, i was i think questioning the manifesto is generally a good idea. you know, there was a guy in new zealand, if you remember, it was a shooter in new zealand. he cited candace owens and 1520 00:08:27,536 --> 00:08:27

the difference here, isuppose, is that they might have to try and water down those proposals for staunchts. 0bviously, staunch tax rises and spending cuts. obviously, there is not the appetite for that, that is the appetite for that, that is the message coming from the left and right. probably, whatever they put on the table, may well be voted down by the left. especially the left. emmanuel macron�*s hope here, i think, in proposing a candidates like francois bayrou, is that he can pick off some of the more moderate members of the left and try to get them on his side and that can help to try to water down the support of the blot on the left that includes the far left but also try and block out the support of the far right if they try and impose their criterion on this budget. mit? criterion on this budget. why do ou criterion on this budget. why do you think _ criterion on this budget. why do you think french - criterion on this budget. why do you think french politics has become so fragmented? because emmanuel macron. the straight answer to that you will hear from left or from right, yo
