well, thank you very much kew _ gareth afterwards.nk you very much kew gardens i gareth afterwards. well, thank| you very much kew gardens for hosting my first set speech as foreign secretary. i have wanted to do this for years, so i am going to enjoy it. and this of course is just after you hosted the colombian president of this year's nature cop this morning. complex in ukraine and the middle east have dominated my time in office so far but i was very clear in opposition that in thisjob i would clear in opposition that in this job i would focus on the most profound and universal source of global disorder, the climate and nature emergency. 0ver my political career it has become clearer to me how this crisis defines our time. and as a young backbencher i admired robin cook making climate a geopolitical issue for the first time. he was a pioneer ahead of his time. four years ago, i spoke about the essential link between climate justice and racialjustice in a ted talk. and as shadow foreign secretary i set out how our response to this c

in case anyone was wondering why we are showing kew gardens at the moment but that is where it is allappening. james, we know the issue with the way that climate can be perceived. it may not feel as urgent or important at the moment as terrorism or warfare but what david lammy wants to say is it is no less of the threat.- is no less of the threat. yeah. i mean. _ is no less of the threat. yeah. i mean. all — is no less of the threat. yeah. i mean, all government - i mean, all government struggled to deal with the long term. it is why many have struggled to do with climate change because it is a slow burn issue rather than the immediacy of conflict of economic crisis. so essentially what he is trying to say say look we still need to deal with the urgent crises of the middle east or ukraine, of economic crisis around the world but equally climate is part of that and can't be ignored. i think the question that will be put to mr lambie is all of this talk is great but what does it actually mean in substance. what technology is the uk going to share about energy transition. what money is t

in fact, my father used to bring me to kew gardens.ive so i can't ask him, but i now realise the reason he brought me here was to somehow be in touch with guyana and those rainforests. and we discussed house sue david's work and that of sophia point is rooted in a concept common to indigenous people of that part of south america. many farmers and others in britain and around the globe stewardship of the natural world. we have both an interest and responsibility to maintain a livable planet for ourselves and for future generations. that is our goal. ultimately, they will be no global stability without climate stability. and they will be no climate stability without a more equal partnership between the global north and the global south. for britain to play its part, we must reset your at—home and we must reset your at—home and we must reconnect abroad. that is what this government will deliver so that together we can build a better future for all. thank you very much indeed. that was foreign secretary david lambie in the picturesque sett

the foreign secretary did a very strong speech at kew talking about, for example, climate adaptationson on the international stage as someone that is leading to try and prevent poverty and what we can do to try and address that. and unfortunately, that needs cash. so i hope in the budget we'll see them actually filling that black hole, which unfortunately has been created largely by the home office raiding the aid budget to pay for refugees who are largely here as a consequence of instability in their own countries. with me tonight — rina shah, political strategist and andrew fisher, columnist at the i paper. andrew, what you think the labour government will and should do come the autumn budget? i should do come the autumn budaet? , , , . , budget? i suspect they will kee- budget? i suspect they will kee aid budget? i suspect they will keep aid about _ budget? i suspect they will keep aid about where - budget? i suspect they will keep aid about where it - budget? i suspect they will keep aid about where it is. keep aid about where it is at the moment. what they should do is increase —

in his first major speech today in temperate house at kew gardens lammy pledged to put the climate emergencypace. the choice of venue today was no accident. three years ago the us special envoyjohn kerry made a similar landmark speech in the same venue, comparing the climate crisis to the ravages of the second world war. and were you to look at the extraoardinary flooding in central europe right now, in poland, romania, the czech republic you might think that anology is not altogether misplaced. in the polish city of nysa 44000 people have been evacuated. similar pictures in doug's home state of north carolina. 12 inches of rain injust 12 hours from a tropical cyclone, that was packing, far more rainfall than was ever expected. question, dog. what happens when a labour government goes to washington perhaps to meet a republican administration and a president who thinks the answer to the energy crisis is more oil and gas? to the energy crisis is more oiland gas? how to the energy crisis is more oil and gas? how do you think foreign policy on climate is going to be received? houston, we've got

i discovered six more cases at the uk national archives at kew nearly every unlike nearly every other source from this era. these transcripts and their supporting documents are dripping with detail. we actually get to hear what people thought about men who had sex with men, and we have an opportunity, an opportunity to think about how a man accused of same sex intimacy negotiated this world. moreover, the trial took place in philadelphia and new york city, less than a year before the revolution began. and several men involved in the trials fight in the war for independence. more importantly, the rhetoric and ideology of the revolution seeps through the testimony. the enemies of robert newburgh feared that his buggery threatened to bring down the british empire while he and his defenders utilized the language of rights and equality. that was much closer to the words of the american founders than the british army. this is that immoral homosexuality of the revolution and the trials of robert newburgh is the result of this investigation. am i talk today? i want to give an overview of the

the foreign secretary, david lammy , chose secretary, david lammy, chose kew gardens this morning forch as foreign secretary. let's just have a look at a little snippet of it. >> the threat may not feel as urgent as a terrorist or an imperialist autocrat, but it is more fundamental. it is systemic, it's pervasive and accelerating towards us at pace. >> well, quite. why matthew david lammy thinks that climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism or global dictators. i don't know, but it's almost as if this is an indication of what our foreign policy is going to be. our foreign policy is going to be about climate change. >> yes. yeah. quite possibly. i think there's two things, really what i would prefer to see from the foreign secretary, regardless of it, is to see that he should be standing up for freedom and democracy and the nafion freedom and democracy and the nation state, as we did sort of world war ii. nation state, as we did sort of world war 11. and all we should do . i think if i world war 11. and all we should do. i think if i were to try and make method of his potentiall

was at the david lammy, the new foreign secretary, gave his first foreign policy speech yesterday in kew of people feel that this is a bit niche, but this is the central issue of our times. and one thing particularly stood out to me was that he was saying, first of all, because the foreign aid budget has been cut, he was making a direct link between that and people crossing the channel on small boats. and another thing he was saying was that this forecast that 200 million people could soon be on the move because of climate change. and, you know, many of those people are going to be heading north to north america or to europe. so climate change and of course, there's many sceptics about the degree to which people are responsible. but the climate is changing and it will have a direct impact on us in terms of migration apart from anything else. >> well, that's what david lammy says. >> well, that's what david lammy says . if you ask any small boat says. if you ask any small boat arrival whether they're coming to the uk because it's getting hot where they are or there's floods, i, you know,
