so we are seeing, as sir keir starmer taking part in those armistice day commemorations, in paris, thetish prime minister to do so since sir winston churchill back in 19a4. and it has been described as a significant year for british— french relations. ahead of this poignant ahead of these wreath—laying events, the two leaders had a lot to discuss. of course they have the situation in the ongoing conflict, in ukraine, the middle east, also migration, something of huge concern to both the uk and france. and as i mentioned, this new labour government's willingness to push a reset on those relations with the european union. so, we have

i think that, you know, donald trump is going to give keir starmer a very hard time over his policiess agenda, and everything, of course, that starmer and his and his mates in the labour cabinet have actually said about trump in the past, trump has a very long memory. he's not going to, i think, forgive and forget what what starmer's own cabinet have said, although previously about him actually all of this, although now although nana gardner when i questioned donald trump in trump tower in september, said, what do you think about keir starmer? >> he said he's a very nice man. so i think he may be he's he's a pragmatic former businessman who knows he's got to get on with with labour and the uk prime minister, whatever. i mean, if you look back to the late 90s, early 2000, tony blair and george w bush formed an alliance over the iraq war, which caused them both problems. but even so, they did become quite close mates, didn't they ? mates, didn't they? >> yeah, those those are important points. and certainly i think donald trump is being very diplomatic in his remarks about keir starmer.

sir keir starmer and kemi badenoch have faced each other for the first time at prime minister's questions on the issue of farmers inheritance tax. sir keir said his government was listening to the concerns of those in the agricultural community. but the new tory leader accused the prime minister of giving the people nothing more than stock answers . nothing more than stock answers. >> scripted lines are showing that he has not even listened to the budget himself. but what does he say to farmers who are facing uncertainty about their futures as a result of the increased taxes announced by the chancellor? >> i'm glad she's raised farmers because the budget last week put £5 billion over the next two years into farming . that is the years into farming. that is the single biggest increase. unlike the £300 million which was underspend under the last government . government. >> the next election in ireland will be on november the 29th. the irish premier, simon harris, will meet the country's president on friday to seek the dissolution of ireland's parliament. the highly anticipated announcement

sounds like keir starmer appointed her in full.ld think that was a questionable decision. but downing street say the prime minister only accepted her resignation when further information emerged, they won't specify what this is. we do know she didn't inform the relevant civil servants of her events when she became a cabinet minister. she had resigned from aviva when the work phone went missing and told it had been carrying out an internal investigation though the company won't comment. louise haigh didn't always see eye to eye with keir starmer but it was a past events and not current performance that derailed her cabinet career. i will have more on today's historic vote later in the programme but now it is back to jane in the studio with the rest of today's news. thanks, reeta. more people have come forward with allegations that the tv presenter gregg wallace made inappropriate sexual comments while working on a number of different programmes. yesterday, following a bbc news investigation, the production company which makes master

keir starmer is an international lawyer.p and he disagree on virtually everything, so donald trump from the conservative, keir far to the left, so there are differences of opinion. what matters here is intelligence sharing. what matters is defense and the underpinning of nato and making sure those recalcitrant european members of need to pay their percent membership fee. what is really going to matter is trade. what trump is talking about is tariffs being put on a lot of products coming into america. that of course could directly affect us. however, i know, from talking to previous -- to t previous administration, they want to do a free trade deal with the united kingdom because they believe that would be a fair deal, relative, comparative cost prices in both of those centers. rajini: so a trade deal you think will be on the table. do you think the two men -- you know mr. trump well, you have had many interactions with sir keir starmer as well. do you think the two can have a good working relationship? nigel: i think they ca

so we are seeing, as sir keir starmer taking part in those armistice day commemorations, in paris, the first british prime minister to do so since sir winston churchill back in 1944. and it has been described as a significant year for british— french relations. ahead of this poignant ahead of these wreath—laying events, the two leaders had a lot to discuss. of course they have the situation in the ongoing conflict, in ukraine, the middle east, also migration, something of huge concern to both the uk and france. and as i mentioned, this new labour government's willingness to push a reset on those relations with the european union. so, we have seen, as the two leaders a little bit earlier on, they laid wreaths at the statue of george clements, the leader of france from 1917 to 1920 —— georges clemenceau during the upheaval during the first world war. then we saw the wreath—laying at the statue of sir winston churchill, and again like i say, a historic moment for the british leader because it was sir winston churchill who was with charles de gaulle on armistice day in paris at the arc de

also we saw this meeting with keir starmer and xi jinping.at is a significant meeting because such a meeting has not happened for some time. that's right. it's the first time in six years that a british prime minister has met with the chinese president. it is fair to say it has been a turbulent relationship between the two countries, ebbing and flowing over the last two years, it wasn't long ago that david cameron and george osborne talked about a golden 0sborne talked about a golden era wanting to foster trade relationships with the chinese, encouraging them to invest in british infrastructure for example. then things are related turn sour and no meeting for six years between those two equivalents. but the signs have been there, david lammy the foreign secretary went to china not long ago and today we saw the two men face—to—face and you could hear from keir starmer they're talking a lot about a pragmatic relationship. he wants a growth in the uk, he once trading relationships with other countries as well as china, but he is already been acc

no prime minister, certainly not keir starmer, you wouldn't have thought keir starmer was going to choose foreign policy prime minister. it wasn't the way the election was fought. not at all. i remember you saying, actually, isn't it obvious that foreign policy has been nowhere in this election campaign even though it has been completely massive and we have talked about it a lot in the few months before the election campaign but lo and behold he is spending a huge amount of time on foreign policy. and that doesn't take away from the fact there are all sorts of things going on at home that are incredibly serious and real dilemmas. newscast. — newscast, from the bbc. so, we know that labour promised a national care service in their manifesto. what we haven't learned since they won the election, five months since they won the election, we haven't learned anything about what on earth that's going to look like. and what i've been told in the last couple of weeks is that there have been a series of conversations that have ended up in what i'm told is a genuine impasse, to quote somebody who is

we'll hearfrom prime minister keir starmer as well.e to see what comes of those speeches later on today. so a positive start when it comes to the first day, on day two. obviously this cop 29 is overshadowed with the un warning that 2024 is on track to be one of the hottest years on record. and of course, there is concern amongst those delegates behind you about what the incoming us president will be doing when it comes to climate change. absolutely. that's right. the election of president donald trump, who will take power injanuary, has cast a shadow over these talks. lots of these delegates, they've come from small island nations, from african countries that are really on the front lines of climate change. they've travelled 2a hours, 36 hours to come here and make that point that they're seeing the effects of climate change now. but this is a global summit. it requires agreement from all nations, including the richer, more powerful countries like the us. the delegation from the us here are working, of course, for presidentjoe biden. h

and obviously keir starmer has not been in office for for all that long.here's huge amounts of praise at the moment for the, um, uh, british embassy team in washington for setting up all of those meetings with the trump team and indeed with the harris team for the alternative, the alternative scenario. but they're totally leaning into that kind of warmth thing. and obviously, the reason. for that is, i think because of what has gone before. right. they knew that if there i was going to be a trump victory, as there has been, i that people would quickly go back through the social. media and the interviews and the quotes and pull outj all the instances where now senior people in the labour government have been - highly critical of— donald trump in the past. so it's almost like they are having to get on very- much on the front foot - from a presentational sense to say, no, no, no, no, no, no. we're, you know, this relationship. is going to be fine. what's interesting is they think they're 0k, but they don't know. no. and that's the thing, isn't it? it's a clas

i don't know what's in keir starmer's white paper ehhen keir starmer's white paper either, and i don'ter i'll agree with it. all i do agree with him when he says that, that people who go thinking that somehow a cap is some sort of magic solution, that's going to make everybody happy and is going to automatically reduce net migration without damaging the economy, you know, that is delusional. and we should be quite clear that it's delusional in terms of numbers. what i would say is that the, you know, the numbers over the last few years have been clearly a big temporary surge that was unsustainable, and no system would have allowed that to carry on indefinitely. they are coming down and they will coming down. but we should fixate much less on numbers and much more on trying to work out well, what sort of system do we need? do we want, you know, care, work, people to come here to do care work? there are trade offs. there between paying people more, paying higher taxes in order to do that, or paying more to the people who look after your your elderly relatives and lower net migration. let

he said that keir starmer had almost nothing of substance to say.is going on here is keir starmer trying to highlight the conservatives' record once again, something that we've seen repeatedly since he has been prime minister on a number of different issues. the question, i think, is going to be whether the labour government really have the policies to bring net migration down in the way that they say that they want to. they've continued with some of the policies that the previous government had, policies which today's figures perhaps indicate may have been working, things like not allowing people who come to work in social care or as students to bring family and dependants with them. that is a policy that the labour government have continued with, although they have paused some of the other changes that were due to come in, had the conservatives remained in power. whether keir starmer has enough to say and will do enough, he says he's bringing forward new proposals and looking at the idea, for example, that if a british company wants to bring in an
