we have a new labour government in australia... mining and energy union, which supported the massive, controversial adani mine project back in 2019, saying it was vital for the jobs of australian workers. were you with them on that? they had no offer of a just transition. if you have workers who are frightened because nobody takes responsibility for theirfamilies, their children, for the jobs that they are worried about not having, of course they'll fight. but why have we spent more than a decade fighting forjust transition, setting up just transition measures? now, you can be anti—union, you can take some understandable examples and ramp them up as the whole, but let me tell you, no—one — no—one — has fought more than the union movement, led internationally and nationally, forjust transition, to transition to a net zero economy with the measures that protect and growjobs, so, again... a final thought, sharan — we're almost out of time. ..you can be anti—union, fine... ah, well... ..we�*re used to it, but let's look at who has some

labour always argued they were working at the time.s was potentially deeply awkward for sir keir because when borisjohnson and the former chancellor rishi sunak were fined for this birthday gathering in downing street, the labour leader had called for them to resign. the guilty men are the prime minister and the chancellor. they've dishonoured all of that sacrifice. and when durham police started their investigation into him, he said... if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice, i would, of course, do the right thing and step down. the investigation effectively hit the pause button on his leadership for two months, with the prospect that his career could be about to be over. sir keir used his words to draw a contrast between what he saw as his integrity and the prime minister's lack of it, but, of course, mrjohnson has now resigned. chris, i think we've got you first. sir keir, whilst you must be relieved, isn't this the week that yourjob has actually got much harder with the resignation of borisjohnson, the man you'

so the labour party will always be on the side of working people. as any organisation does. well, you mentioned collective responsibility, when conservative cabinet ministers decision collective responsibility to defend partygate and things like that, your supporters accuse them of being spineless. shouldn't sam tarry be allowed to stick up for his principles? i think any organisation, certainly any political party, everybody understands that if you're on the front bench, you can't book yourself onto media programmes without permission and you can't make up policy on the hoof. i think that's very straightforward in political parties. i think that's pretty straightforward for any organisation or any business. and so we've got collective responsibility and that's what that's about. obviously the labour party's relationship with the trade unions is historic. they're part of our movement, they always have been, always will be. and that's why we've worked with them on things like employment rights from day one, the most comprehensive set of rights that w

can they appeal to traditionally labour welsh voters?s. many thanks, hywel griffith in cardiff and chris in belfast and james in belfast. thank you all of you. well, of course, attention will now turn to the question of who will succeed boris johnson eventually as prime minister. let's talk a bit about the process. that process of selecting a new conservative leader effectively starts now, and the timetable will be decided by the leadership of the 1922 committee — the committee backbench conservative mps. the rules — as they stand today — is that any candidate needs the support of eight conservative mps to take part. to be nominated. then there follows a series of votes to leave just two candidates. then all members of the conservative party right across the uk — notjust mps — will decide the winner. and then to succeed borisjohnson as prime minister whenever that is. let's talk a little about that process and what it could mean with nick eardley, our political correspondent. that is it on paper, ok? there is the remaining question about

i'm not the leader of the labour party, i don't speak for the labour party — but when i see the businessesnal services, and construction and tech, and film and music — i know that our future is more prosperous or, you know, less poor being members of the single market. we can't go back into the european union, the british public have spoken — what we can do though is make sure we have the least worst option. and for me, that's being members of the single market. the mayor of london speaking. and we'll be hearing from the labour mp hilary benn, who was chair of parliament's brexit select committee, in the next half an hour. a reminder of the latest headlines on bbc news... the bbc says a complaint against the former radio i dj tim westwood had previously been referred to the police. he denies the allegations. borisjohnson was aware of "reports and speculation" about chris pincher�*s behaviour before he appointed him deputy chief whip in february. president putin orders his forces to push ahead with their offensive in eastern ukraine after seizing control of the entire luhansk region. ina in

it is terribly comic different labour. _ position. it is terribly comic different labour. are fighting for better pay and better terms and conditions, and yet here we have a shadow minister removed from the front bench —— terribly complicated. yet, it is very difficult. labour say they want fair pay for front line workers, they fiercely defend people's right to strike, and as i said, there are many in the labour party in parliament who are sympathetic towards this strike and it is a difficult line that the labour leadership has been walking since this strike started. as i said, sam tarry not aligned to the current leadership, i would say that. he was definitely closer to jeremy corbyn. he felt he had the freedom to speak his mind this morning, but that is not the view of the leadership office, which is why he has been removed from his post. ben, thank you very much forjoining us quickly on that one, ben wright, our political correspondent on that one. more to come stop we are going to talk more broadly about that. that is coming up in the next half—hour. we will take a loo

without a full implementation of the uyghur forced labour prevention act, which i think in my mind, theative mandate that congress put in place since china joined the wto and addressed some of the lingering issues we will not be able to clean forced labour—produced products out of a global supply chains without adequately addressing. so that law is important but it not can address the problem, that has to be a global effort. right. hang on, you are raising interesting points, not least when you're talking about not just the united states but a global effort. let's get real about what is actually happening and the rest of the world. in particular, in the most important muslim nations and muslim economies in the world. most of them appear to have no interest in putting pressure on china on this issue. if one looks at all of the countries from pakistan to saudi arabia, to turkey, egypt, the gulf states, they all in their different ways appeared to be prepared to look the other way. it is unconscionable, it should be condemned. at the same time it should compel us, those of us in the policy

labour always argued they were working at the time.was potentially deeply awkward for sir keir because when borisjohnson and former chancellor, rishi sunak, were fined for this birthday gathering in downing street, the labour leader had called for them to resign. the guilty men are the prime minister and the chancellor. they've dishonoured all of that sacrifice. and when durham police started their investigation into him, he said... if the police decide to issue me with a fixed penalty notice, i would, of course, do the right thing and step down. the investigation effectively hit the pause button on his leadership for two months, with the prospect that his career could be about to be over. sir keir used his words to draw a contrast between what he saw as his integrity and the prime minister's lack of it, but, of course, mrjohnson has now resigned. chris, i think we've got you first. sir keir, while you must be relieved, isn't this the week that your job has actually gotten much harder with the resignation of borisjohnson, the man you'v

individuals are being graduated, they have been based on credible reports transferred into slave labourps and prison camps. i know for a fact that several of my fellow american citizens have been telling me, asking for my help to find out where their loved ones, ask eight of those radio free agent reporters, american citizens, and most of them don't have their family members at home and they disappeared from re—education camps to prison camps, that is the reality that we deal with. ijust wonder, when you make those comparisons, as you just did with dachau, auschwitz, do you really believe those comparisons are legitimate or helpful to your cause? you know what genocide is being committed? mass death casualties is not required when you want to call it genocide. the intent, the acts of the chinese government clearly points to the direction that this is a genocide. meets the legal requirements provided in 1948 genocide convention and other point, the concentration camp, i spent a lot of time in the process of writing my book recently published, no escape. studying what are the similarities
