with me now is my panel, former conservative cabinet minister john redwood and the historian and broadcaster. john, broadcaster tessa dunlop. john, the prime minister has gone to united nations. we obviously want the prime minister when he's on the world stage, to speak effectively for the nation. in reality. what influence do you think the uk has directly and as an ally of the united states? well, i think we have very little influence over israel. >> we supply practically no weapons and obviously don't aid israel in any direct way, although we have strong bonds and friendships as a fellow democracy. but he must do the best he can. and yes, we send our best wishes to him. >> he represents all of us. we trust . trust. >> and i'm sure most people in this country want to try and find a negotiated peace solution in both conflicts in the middle east, and are sincere in wanting to do so. but i don't think we're going to be the decisive influence. >> i think president biden is struggling to get any influence, and he is a very major supporter of israel in very practical ways. and israel has felt, qu

, and the sirjohn redwood, and the historian and broadcaster tessa dunlop, john, you've done a lot of. we've had the federal reserve cut interest rates by half a percent today, 50 basis points, and nobody expects the bank of england to do anything tomorrow. >> no, the bank has been a disaster. and what i want them to do, first and foremost is to stop selling all these bonds. no other central bank is doing that. they're presenting colossal losses. the new government, like the old government, like the old government , is government, like the old government, is going to have very little room for manoeuvre on taxes and paying for public services. so the bank of england has already pocketed 75 billion of taxpayer money since they started dipping into loss, and they will present tens of billions more if they're not stopped. so they should stop doing that and get in line with the european central bank and the european central bank and the federal reserve board. things are too tight and we need to help the economy grow from here. >> and both keeping interest rates high and selling bonds is ef

he should have done a john redwood , bank of michael john redwood, bank of michael kill, the leader of. kill, the leader of the lib dems. he should have mimed like, you know, like john redwood. he should. >> he should have brought on. he should have turned around and say, please welcome to the stage theresa may. and she could have come on with dancing queen. he could have sung to that as well, and i would, i would have seen that fight. that would have been brilliant. we absolutely love it. >> theresa may's got the reach. >> theresa may's got the reach. >> she has got the reach. she's she's good. >> you know, i think she was, but she's very dangerous. remember she used to go little dancing crop seal crop fields. remember that was her. how naughty have you been. what's the naughtiest thing she did make the entire crop circle. >> the entire country think that auens >> the entire country think that aliens existed because, well, they do exist. >> what are you talking about? >> what are you talking about? >> you fell for it. it's a theresa may prank. i think you may be the only legacy she se

you cannot live in a country where we force, force , poor old where we force, force, poor old john redwood depressing, isn't it, that we live in a country in which the person in charge of the football team doesn't feel moved to sing when he hears the national anthem, wants to concentrate on football. >> that's the most dishonest argument i've ever heard. >> you see, if a chinese football manager did that, they would just shoot him. >> but that's my point, isn't it? isn't it wonderful that we live in a country where you can not sing it and not get shot? >> no, we shouldn't have him as the football manager. >> it should be somebody who actually believes in the country and wants the country to succeed. >> he should have. >> he should have. >> it means he doesn't care. he did also go off on the football match against ireland. the irish team's seat at the end. >> so yes, you've got to wonder whether before he forgot where his sympathies really lie. >> if he won't sing the national anthem, he goes off to the irish team place. >> yes, well, the compromise is obvious. he can whistle. >> he can whi

so john redwood is what we need to move on. the to face down with the government to face down those onand our message to the tinpot politicians. >> the street thugs and any ragtag group that tries to promote their message of hate is clear. not in our workplaces, not in our communities, not on our watch. >> new analysis has revealed significant corruption took place in the handing out of covid contracts during the pandemic . official reports pandemic. official reports identified that 135 high risk contracts with a value of £153 contracts with a value of £15.3 billion, had three or more corruption red flags. transparency international uk are requesting the national audit office, public accounts committee and chancellor rachel reeves look into the findings. the impact of the covid pandemic on nhs workers, patients and the delivery of health care are set to be examined by public inquiry , to be examined by public inquiry, with the first public hearing currently being held . currently being held. campaigners have expressed concern over what they see is a lack of representation of bereaved f

he was reminiscent of john redwood going to, well, going to be in the welsh secretary in 1995 and nottional anthem in welsh. >> yeah, i believe that is probably i think i can see why he might not be able to say it. >> and so, so yeah, that was probably a little bit, a little bit embarrassing for those two. but yeah, we've seen players not not do it. england managers in the past, particularly the foreign ones, haven't haven't said it. i just wonder whether the solution to this in future might just be to take the manager out of the firing line so they don't have to participate in the national anthem, or just insist, or just anthem, orjust insist, orjust insist that they sing it. can you really force someone to sing, though? i think you should. what about you, emma? do you think? no, i don't know. >> i feel like maybe you shouldn't be the captain of the england team. if you're not willing to sing the national anthem or any team in fact. >> well, look, one, one thing is that it's a batsman. you know, it's a horrible football cliche. it was a baptism of fire in terms of in terms in terms o

blow it out, but there have been other ones down the years who, let's be honest, they've done a john redwoodlayers in the summer in england line up not singing the national anthem. it's as simple as that. and he was asked about it yesterday. lee carsley and he was caught, caught unawares, i think. and that's the that there's rabbit. there's a rabbit in the headlines element to this as well. sorry rabbit in the headlights. >> the headlines is a good freudian slip because it does actually work. >> yeah. good, good. it didn't come out of something else, but. but no, he answered the question. he wouldn't have been prepared for it. he obviously wasn't briefed about it. that's because he's not a big issue in football. and there's an element of big issue for the football fans. well, yeah, it is actually, to be fair, but i just don't think they saw it. they saw it coming. and it's just an unfortunate putting the foot in whatever. but having said that, most football, a lot of footballers don't care about it. they don't care for the dignitaries, they don't care for the paraphernalia that goes on aroun

be joined this evening by former conservative mp sirjohn redwood and somebody who understands these issues better than almost anybody else. johno much for coming in. i was briefly energy secretary and business secretary and was deaung business secretary and was dealing with this issue with tata and indeed with china steel in scunthorpe, and it was the most infuriating thing that the treasury puts charges on energy , treasury puts charges on energy, which then mean bays and its successor goes to the treasury to ask for subsidies to make up for the charges that are bankrupting the industries that were then subsidising. >> and you still lose the jobs and you lose the basic capacity. i mean, you're absolutely right. very powerful statement you just made. i fully endorse everything you've said and i know you were challenging it when you were briefly in that department. >> it's a pity they didn't let you do the job for longer and get it sorted out. but what we have today is labour pretending they've renegotiated a deal, which is just as bad as the conservative one on its principles. it means the end of blast furnace steelmaking, bas

john. 10 30's the time on the peninsula. we have 2 shootings happening in just one week in redwood city proper.nt reports on the latest with the investigation. >> both of these shootings happening within just days of each other. and also both of these shootings happening right off this section of l camino in redwood city. now i spoke with neighbors and business owners who tell me they fear this part of redwood city has become a lot more unsafe in recent years. >> i just heard a lady screaming couple screaming and crying and stuff. but friday night someone shot and killed after what officials tell kron 4 was an argument that turned into a fight in the parking lot of a talker. just brown lives behind the parking lot and says fights and crimes are increasing. so i think there's a lot of that element going on across the street there. police didn't offer many details about this particular shooting. we tried to speak to the top about what they with us. but they were just to shake it up. they told us everyone in the restaurant scattered when shots rang out. i would like for it to to to to stop. that's

. >> john, you're probably too young to remember john >> john, you're probably too young to rememberjohn redwoodecretary, not knowing what the welsh national anthem. well, yes . anthem. well, yes. >> i mean, i don't know what the welsh national anthem is. i couldn't sing it. but, you know, i'm not playing for the welsh national team. >> no, listen, listen. but darren, i think listen, i don't think it's important in terms of how he does the job, but this is a line in the sand. now the fa are going to be briefing all their staff and all their personnel. if you're in public, you say you sing the national anthem. it will seem a bit draconian to some of the players apart from anything else, some of the players might be more republican minded. to be honest with you, the ones i've met are not particularly political, politically motivated at all. they go along with most of the politics that comes out of the fa to be political, to sing the national anthem. >> it's unifying what unites us all. >> a lot of people would dispute that. somebody contacted me this morning, a guy called steve adams, who's a gent
