so the foreign secretary , david lammy, made secretary, david lammy, made this jaw dropping claim aboutreat 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. >> he went to on frame climate change as the defining geopolitical challenge of the modern era, and the comments have certainly raised eyebrows, not least because lammy promised to place climate action and nature at the heart of britain's foreign policy. so how exactly that would work? i'm not sure. when we've got ongoing wars in ukraine, in the middle east. it also comes just weeks after a 26 year old syrian man was charged following a terror attack in germany that left three people dead. and just last month, police in austria foiled a terrorist plot to kill tens of thousands at a taylor swift concert in vienna. so all of that, to be fair, mr lammy does feel quite pressing and urgent. so tonight i'm asking, is david lammy right that climate change poses a bigger threat than terrorism? let me know your thoughts. go to gbn

david lammy , the technicality.gn secretary, says that he received this report which explained that it is possible that british arms exports to israel could potentially be being used to break international law. and in light of that review, he is limiting the number of arms that are going from britain to israel. it might be a little bit more complicated than that. and why i say that is because the us, which obviously is obliged to maintain international law as well, hasn't gone as far as britain. the us has at certain points warned that it might withdraw arms from israel, threatened if you like, but hasn't actually gone that far. and in fact, kamala harris, the democrat nominee, says that she will continue to support israel and, of course, the us to market israel in terms of weapon exports is much, much, much bigger than the uk. it's only about 0.02% of israel's arms come from britain. so if the us doesn't , doesn't feel that it's doesn't, doesn't feel that it's breaking international law in providing israel with arm

so, look, david lammy - how real is that threat?hreat? so, look, david lammy said today that the russians have escalated and these iranian ballistic missiles are a game changer and that the thinking in washington and london has changed, so i think that's .1. thinking has changed in that russia is escalating, not the west. .2 is that us weapons, western weapons have already been used to strike crimea and in kursk, so look, if the argument is that these weapons will cause escalation, it's nonsense, because they've already been used in lands that russia considers its own now. you mentioned kursk, antony blinken and david lammy saying they wanted to understand right now what ukraine's strategy was, that was a surprise, that incursion into kursk, and it is one that seems to have backfired. how concerned are they do you think about the wider strategy of ukraine? president zelenskyy is a place to unveil his plan for peace in just a few days. so those discussions are being talked about, they are going to be talked about this friday at the w

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

speaking to the bbc this morning, foreign secretary david lammy said the government was open to using some of the schemes to tackle the issue. well, they have a comprehensive scheme with albania, understanding that that balkans route, as well as the channel and the southern mediterranean, are routes which migrants use, so of course, because it has reduced the numbers, we are actually discussing with italy the schemes that they have developed not just with albania but upstream schemes with syria and libya as well. his comments were met with criticism from the shadow home secretary. we've seen fatalities of illegal channel crossings going up, we have seen the numbers coming up, because the very first action of this labour government was to scrap an international partnership which was deterring migrants, we know this because those migrants told us so. this latest incident comes less than two weeks after 12 people including six children and a pregnant woman died when a boat carrying dozens of migrants sank in what was the deadliest loss of life in the channel this year. as the investigati

so both mr blinken and mr lammy went straight into that meeting.ter thanked both america and the united america and the uk for their ongoing support. but he did raise this issue of long—range missiles. and you can be absolutely sure that president zelenskyy will be continuing that theme in their conversations later today. specifically, the ukrainians are saying to the british and the americans, "you need to give us permission to use these long—range missiles so we can hit further into russia, much further so that we can target the airfields and, crucially, strike the russian bombers before they take off and before they let go of these devastating bombs and missiles that have been hitting so many towns and cities in this country." nick speak there. the uk government has announced a public inquiry into one of the most controversial murders during the conflict in northern ireland. the solicitor pat finucane was shot dead by loyalist paramilitaries in belfast in 1989 while he was having sunday dinner with his wife and children. previous investigations

, foreign secretary, david lammy, opening the afternoon session today.alled for to labour hold power for five terms and to make it the natural party of government. well, earlier, angela rayner declared now is labour's moment, promising to bolster workers rights to build high quality homes and strengthen communities. take listen. >> there will be no complacency. we've seen where that leads. don't forget what they did partygate, covid contracts, the lies divisions , scapegoating and lies divisions, scapegoating and the unfunded tax cuts for the richest that crashed our economy. don't forget any of it. the tories failed britain and they tried to cover it up. a crater in the heart of britain's economy, a puncture in the pocket of every working family and a £22 billion black hole . and a £22 billion black hole. >> well, that conference is running until tuesday ending, of course, with sir keir starmer's leader's speech, which we will bnng leader's speech, which we will bring live to you here on gb news. but the labour leadership is gearing up for a major confe

but lammy doesn't really matter, does it.. it's a stupid thing to do. it's a stupid thing. >> it's terrible . i mean, if sir >> it's terrible. i mean, if sir paul mccartney can't pull it off, then david lammy certainly isn't going to be able to pull it off. and that tie, not terrible tie, not as well. >> the other aspect to it wasn't it. i'm checking mine now. there you go. i think that's all right. you're all right. but again, i'm not foreign as alex would say. i'm not foreign secretary yet. okay, so i think we've just about got time, haven't we, to reveal today's greatest britain and union jackass. okay, so we start with the greatest britain. and, sarah, i'll start with you. >> i'm going to nominate king charles. well, you know what an ardent royalist i am, patrick. obviously, from coming on the show, but for me, king charles. and it's because of that lovely hug, that lovely moment he exchanged with the new zealand female rugby team earlier this week. >> i think we can we can have a little look at it. actually. >> a tear to

david lammy, i think is a complete joke., the fact that he's using language that is just so strong against somebody who could very well effectively completely ruin the international relationship with the us. so i think it's really important that we do recognise this does have international outcomes. >> yeah, indeed. patrick what's your view on this. the idea that labour now when you kind of wrap all of that up are just the laughing stock of the world. >> well, i enjoyed your entertaining sort of stitching together of, of, the sort of crocheted blanket, as it were, but , i actually think crocheted blanket, as it were, but, i actually think keir starmer hasn't really changed our foreign policy very much. and i almost think he is actually looking a bit of a grown up compared to, as we know, the foreign secretary, david lammy, has made a lot of blunders already and has got a long back catalogue of kind of shock jock pronouncements. so he was an odd choice. emily thornberry, let's not forget, despite the relative thinness of tale

, which is one of the great sit on the fence with david lammy.tly, shall i, shall i sit on the fence? more on clown. i mean, this is one of the great offices of state dawn to see david lammy going over there in his black trainers. i knew you'd embarrass the trainers. well, yeah, it is embarrassing. my four year old wears smarter school shoes to school than that man wore to that meeting with the president of the free world. but no to see david lammy this morning on kuenssberg saying it was awful that there's a further loss of life. yes we have, we've seen a few weeks ago six children dead, a pregnant woman died. we are not doing anything about this. keir starmer has been saying for months before even getting into power, we're going to smash the criminal gangs, the way to smash the criminal gangs, the way to stop this crisis to just address your point, amy, is to smash the criminal gangs. it's not about but you're not dealing with the. >> but that doesn't look like people are still going to while those roots are there. >> while they can pay someone

from that perspective, what did you make of what david lammy had to say at the united nafions lammy hadt the united nations earlier this week, talking about his perspective as a black man? >> well, it's all about david, isn't it? i cannot believe the uk foreign secretary went to the united nations in a debate about ukraine, and somehow managed to make it about himself. the labour party, i think, are really bruised by the fact that it was the conservatives who had the first, second and third female prime minister, the first asian prime minister, the first black foreign secretary, the first muslim home secretary. they hate it because they like that tokenistic identity politics. we just get on with the job. that's all i've ever done. david is desperately trying to make it about identity politics. when i was foreign secretary, i made it about uk's national interest on the world stage. that's the difference between saying stuff and doing stuff. i've always focused on doing stuff rather than just saying stuff. >> now, one of the reasons why the conservatives lost, and this seems to be agreed
