the liberal democrat mp in eastbourne up the road, it has been a liberal democrat mp in lewis and of see there. —— 5pm. i think we can see the lib dems leader vince cable, now, who is on a walkabout in chelmsford. the liberal democrats, as you can see on your screens, up 304 councillors, as things stand. there they are, waiting, those council workers waiting to greet sir vince cable. he has been tweeting in the last short while, and i will pull it up to remind you of what he was saying, but he is talking about the lib dems being back in force as the lib dems being back in force as the third party in british politics, "three party politics is back, in big cities and rural england, in leave and remain areas, we have shown ourselves the stronger is campaigning falls and the big winners of the night. three party politics is back", declares vince cable. of course, we are waiting to see the rest of the results coming in through the day. but perhaps an even bigger test for the liberal democrats will come in the european elections when of course they will be up against the remain supporting

liberals are liberals in. different year are behind the populous though that's another question is how united are these populist groups because if they are able to work together in a bloc in the european parliament they can wield significant power can stay fit not that terribly united. i say yet because i think there might be a phase of recognizing that they have a lot more to gain if they kind of stick together but i mean just as. having an international meeting of nationalists seems like a brother or thing that. in europe. right parties i think they are very strategic i think they've been they've seen that this success isn't being strategic about where you say interests i think. in hungary is saying that he's been very successful sitting on the fence that between the european people's party bloc the conservative traditional conservative bloc now he suspended from that you already said that he would support salvini so you know we see a lot of a lot of dancing both sides of the fence there and the big challeng

liberalize its political system.o accelerate that transformation, we welcomed china into our order, opened our markets, invested our capital, trained chinese engineers, scientists and even officers of the people's liberation army. but as happens sometimes in life, we were disappointed. we underestimated the strength of the party in resisting reform, and we underestimated the role that ideology plays in driving the policies of the party. xi has reinvigorated policy since levels not seen since revolution, which killed tens of thousands of chinese. chairman xi is purging the party to strengthen his control. he punished 1.5 million officials, over three times the federal public service of canada. xi implemented mandatory study sessions and even apps on xi jinping thought. the party is harnessing new technologies to shut out alternative sources of information while creating a , surveillance police state more intrusive than big brothers in george orwell's novel, "1984." ethnic and religious minorities are subject to the wo

and just north norfolk, which had been in no overall control, now liberal democrat. me show you the details of the results in bath and north east somerset. this had been a conservative council. the conservatives had a majority of seven. look how that has changed. liberal democrat majority of 15, with the lib dems taking 37 seats compared to the conservatives' nine. let me show you how the seat change has worked. almost a complete straight swap, so a striking result for the liberal democrats in bath and north east somerset. reeta, thank you. laura, if you're sitting in downing street, ready to have breakfast, may be at six o'clock or 6.30, and looking ahead to the rest of the day because is lots more to come, you could end up ina lots more to come, you could end up in a position which is noticeably worse than losing 330. how does that change the dynamics of the way that mrs may is trying to manage what is already a fractious party? well, if it ends up being a lot worse than it appears now, as we have already seen from priti patel, it may stir up again in another sense

it is and whether it is a liberal domestic order. issue of the day is whether china is working with the liberal international order. and i can tell you that the liberal international order is because i was born in the era of a few called the international order in the british colony and as you know when you're colonized you have no rights whatsoever and china have went through 100 years of hell from 1842 to 1949 and then in the liberal international order began china discovered two big things that worked for china. one of the first pillar of the national order of its sovereignty every country can then decide its own future, what it wants to do and then the second thing is rules to ensure what you can and cannot do in the international space not domestic space but international space and they want to get you one statistic i hope you will bear in mind throughout the whole debate over the world's population of 7.5 billion people in thee world only 12% visit the west. 88% live outside of southwest. you want to judge china's international

can liberalism put up a fight? "the new yorker's" adam gotnick defends. >>> but first, here's my make. donald trump has seemed largely uninterested in foreign policy. he got excited briefly when he thought he could win a nobel peace prize and hyped the danger of an imminent north korean attack, so he could then play the peacemaker. when it became clear that a deal was not to be had easily, trump lost interest and scarcely mentions the subject anymore. beyond north korea, his foreign policy has largely been one of subcontracting, a familiar style for a real estate developer. middle east policy is farmed out to israel and saudi arabia. policy toward left-wing regimes in latin america have been delegated to saber rattlers like john bolton and marco rubio. the rest of latin america is dealt with solely through the lens of immigration. in other words, subcontracted to stephen miller. the one common aspect of trump's foreign policy, however, has been that abroad, it has provoked a vigorous nationalist response. take chin

this was a fairly unusual labour— liberal democrat race with labour— liberal democrat race with labourw look at them, absolutely level pegging on 26 seats. the conservatives have eight and the independents have three and this is the share change. look at that, liberal democrats up by 10%, conservatives down by 8% and ukip is down by 10% of the independents and greens also picking up independents and greens also picking up in the share of the boat is a representative of what we have seen throughout the election. -- of the vote. as we were going through those results, another came in from craven in yorkshire which is a conservative loss and not one they had been expecting it is fair to say. the result shows the tories on 15th pence on line, labour on three, green on two and lib dems on one, thatis green on two and lib dems on one, that is a difference datum of a difference from last term is that the tories have slipped three, the independents have gained free, no change for labour, greens up one and you keep missing one so that is another loss for the conservatives. looking at the broad

another liberal democrats seat. wow. three now for the liberal democrats. coming up so that's labourjohn howard who has been a previous mep.” up so that's labourjohn howard who has been a previous mep. i now invite the candidates... has been a previous mep. i now invite the candidates. . ” has been a previous mep. i now invite the candidates... i think we will now hear from nigel for arch invite the candidates... i think we will now hearfrom nigel for arch —— nigel farage. never before in british politics has a new party launched six weeks ago top polls in a national election. the reason is obvious, we voted to leave in a referendum, we were supposed to do so on march 29 and we have not. there is a huge message here. a massive message here. labour and conservative parties could learn a big lesson from tonight although i don't suppose they actually will. the new date is october 31. william the brexit party have and women of considerable is this experience. we wa nt to considerable is this experience. we want to be part of that negotiating tea m want to be pa

that will spark a heated debate every vote for the liberal democrats isa every vote for the liberal democratsstop brexit. for the two parties that normally dominate british politics, it was a disaster. the conservatives were thumped, finishing fifth with less than 10% of the vote. labour were too punished, finishing third with less than 15%. that will spark a heated debate about whether it should now get fully behind another referendum. people were going to be drawn in a polarised way to the single parties. labour were too punished, finishing third with less than 15%. that will spark a heated debate about whether it should now get fully behind another referendum. we're now going to find ourselves in a position where we will have a tory leadership who will on either a bad deal or no deal at all and i fear it will be no deal and in those circumstances, we must be equally clear. it should be a referendum. it should be a referendum. the green vote was up too, they beat the conservatives into fourth place. ukip were wiped out, and change uk fail to make their mark. in scotland, the snp were miles

what a liberal is in spain for example is completely different from what a liberal is in the netherlandsrliament refer to as parties. they are not parties in the way you think of political parties, they don't have singular policies, they don't have singular policies, they are a collection of roughly like—minded parties from different countries who form a coalition or a bloc within the parliament. now, let's talk about right—wing parties across europe because they did not meet in all cases their high expectations but where they did well, they did very well. let me give you some examples. this is the ruling law and justice party is right—wing and socially conservative, it has resisted eu effo rts conservative, it has resisted eu efforts to stop its judicial reforms in poland and it did very well. a5% of the vote, seven points clear of a pro—eu european coalition, which is a collection of different opposition parties, so evenjoining a collection of different opposition parties, so even joining forces didn't do the trick. this is very good news for law and justice because they are —— there a

that was the liberal democrat mp tom brake talking to joanna liberal democrat mp tom brake talking tojoannashowing in a european election. there's been calls from senior figures within the party, including the shadow foreign secretary emily thornberry to commit to another referendum. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn said the party would have further discussions about its brexit policy. what we'll do is consult members through the constituency parties and affiliated trade unions and bring theissue affiliated trade unions and bring the issue back to conference in september. don't you have an obligation owed to listen to this result and the impact on your heartlands and actually have a second referendum and have a clear position? listen very carefully to what everyone is having to say on the subject. the country is clearly very divided. nigel farage and the brexit party don't offer any agreement with the eu, merely a crushing out, which would cause chaos forjobs crushing out, which would cause chaos for jobs and crushing out, which would cause chaos forjobs and services across this country. i

he has defended liberalism.l progress opening up doors, fighting discrimination, all to secure individual liberty and dignity. it does not have the fire and brimstone appeal of radicalism, he rightly points out that liberalism has changed the world. >>> the answer to my challenge this week is c, only 66% of the nearly 27 million people registered to vote in south africa's election exercised that right. turnout has been declining when 87% of the people turned out and overwhelmingly supported the african national congress. recently support for that party has also dropped. historically the anc was the hopeful party, a better life for all. but the party hasn't delivered on that promise. the anc's 25 year reign over south africa has been awash with corruption scandals. economic growth now hovers near 1%. and south africa is the world's most economically unequal country according to the world bank. it's worse for young south africans. unemployment at 27% nationally, is at 50% for workers under 25. the party has failed

this is a liberal democrat gain with seven still —— it has gone liberal democrat.r the independents. prior to tonight, the independents. prior to tonight, the conservatives needed five seats to gain this council. the liberal democrats needed six. it's the liberal democrats who have done it and quite vehemently, actually. look at the seat change. 13 for the liberal democrats. conservatives losing 15 seats there and independence doing echo independents gaining two. i want to show you one more counsel here. they are still counting here in the cotswold. this isa counting here in the cotswold. this is a conservative council and they are still counting, as you can see. the winning post is 18 and there are five seats still to declare. liberal democrats on 16 seats, conservatives on 11 and greens and independent x on 11 and greens and independent x on one apiece. let's look again and the seat change here. look at that. lib dems gaining six and the conservatives losing eight. this council still several seats to declare, but this could go from conservative into no overall co

biggest privatization deal since the liquidation of karelian we investigate comparisons between your liberalism and the circle of hell all this of all coming up in today's going on the ground but 1st it's 32 years since margaret thatcher denied to the house of commons any of the spycatcher conspiracy allegations about an attempt by u.k. secret intelligence agencies to overthrow the british government led by labor prime minister harold wilson the book spycatcher was banned by the british government a fact no doubt not lost on the current labor leader jeremy corbyn there is an ongoing inquiry into secret intelligence activities against him with no real news on when it will report it was corbin's number 2 john mcdonnell who appeared to get corwin's of trouble ahead of the last u.k. general election when interviewed about any possible shake up of britain's allegedly unaccountable secret services what about money for the security services how could we take that seriously when your shadow chancellor was photographed holding a letter which called for the abolition of bear my 5 the abolition of a speci

but it was also a great night for the liberal democrats.w urgency to the search for a new leader. and labour is also nursing heavy losses —

they will have to work with the liberal party, liberal democrats the eu.n scotland. the party won almost 38% of the vote — increasing its number of meps from two to three. the brexit party secured second place — with 15% of the vote — winning one seat. the liberal democrats gained 14% of the vote, the conservatives got 12%. the labour came fifth with less than 10% of the vote — down from 26% in 2014. big debate in scotland about labour. with me now is our scotland correspondent james shaw. some pretty damning criticism of labour‘s election strategy in scotland, noticeably from mps writing in the edinburgh evening news, labour offered nothing but ambiguity, jeremy corbyn and richard leonard, labour leader in scotland, basically stuck their heads in the brexit sand because they cannot lead. well, we have heard from richard bernard, the leader of scottish labour today, and what he has said in essence is he and his party need to go away and think, regroup. “— party need to go away and think, regroup. —— mike richard leonard. they need to understand why the res

and macron as part of the liberal alliance has a greater say.and. this is something the european parliament really invented, this idea of what they call the idea of every political group having their candidate. it was cited because it was felt don't spike the parliament succeeded by shoe because the eep was very much the biggest group. they came together and agreed this would be the candidate and would not vote for another president. this time it is different, he said earlier, fragmentation the keyword of the parliament. the eep cannot claim that legitimacy. they lost seats even though they are the biggest party, most are saying it is open, it is allup party, most are saying it is open, it is all up for grabs in the battle starts tomorrow night when eu leaders meet for a summit dinner to begin the argument, but we are not expecting any decision. some brexiteer is in the uk saying, why do we care about this, who is the next eu commission president? it will matter in terms of what happens next in brexit, the interpretation in brussels of what happ

you can say that about a lot of liberal democrat seats. it sets us ina liberal democrat seats.issue of the day. we are an anti—brexit party. we wa nt day. we are an anti—brexit party. we want to stop brexit. and on things like climate change, where we are leading the debate, and on whole areas on crime, where we have been arguing for more police, there is bread and butter issues, i think we have got very strong positions. john, can you say something about labour's performance, and then i will bring emily n. sound like this i5a will bring emily n. sound like this is a bitterly disappointing for labour. -- this is disappointing for labour. -- this is disappointing for labour. they have not fell away as badly as the conservatives, but viewers might remember last year we had labour and the conservatives neck and neck, back then it was 35 a piece, rather than 28 apiece. labour have fallen back in the last 12 months, during the period where the brexit impasse has evolved and continued, just as much as the conservatives, and to that extent, at least, i think the labour party has to as

best practices on iraq so if they were supposed to be different from neo liberalism they didn't get the memo i want to get to. the demons in the title of the book in a in a 2nd but i mean if you want to turn on m s n b c o c.n.n. the demons are the demons you joke about in this book and i do want to get on to them the demons are russia and that's why trump is there and that's the explanation of what's gone wrong in anything other than taking responsibility for creating this phenomenon and creating the conditions that allowed trump to arise i think this is the case for both media elites who obviously you know stoke trumps career and his reputation at every stop and also the kind of mainstream centrist politicians who his failed policies lead to the kind of discontent that could make trump seem like applause about solution tell me about the role of judeo christian ideas of the devil which is the reason you use the devens anyone in a chemist or pharmacy maybe choosing a shampoo you say that the creation of blame. is there in the liberalism in my book the demons are not like outside for

liberal democrats, sir vince cable.sed. it was fairly clear, we had momentum and it went well. i am delighted by the scale of the popular vote and the seats we have won. i think a bigger picture is if you take the remain parties as a whole, we have had a very strong turnout and a very good result. i think we are now demonstrating there is a majority of people in the country who do not want to leave the european union. the green party increased its number of meps to seven, taking about 11% of the vote. earlier, sian berry, the co—leader of the green party, gave her reaction to the result. we are very delighted to get to the number of votes that we did. to more than double the number of meps from three to seven. we have people elected in regions across the uk. they are going to be, if we can stay in the eu, fantastic representatives for the regions. it is a really strong message people are sending, that they want to remain in the eu, they support the party is calling for a people's vote. we can combine our efforts with th

if you look at the liberal capitalism but also western liberal. tolerance what i'm saying but do you agree that this is the new intolerably that you talk about trump and i'm not a trump defender but he does bring up the economy and he's creating new jobs in america millions of new jobs but at what expands i mean he has the whole world against him he has the whole country against him in a sense because like it is so against this western liberal tolerance paradigm that we have to sort of match do you know what i mean you do what happens in fact. those nations who are ready to keep order. during the studies of this country was in order. the other way the rest a man or woman was developed throughout centuries with the idea of order keeping order the being low. but there is a beautiful small it was a good book but i. was speaking of a. fantasy of even grows and seeing the hates him but you all adore him because he could have done what you couldn't you could and they deem him so that is also because you just brought up russia and grozny in this illusion

why liberalism failed. the american mind, how good intentioned and that ideas are setting up a generation or failure. i recommend each of these books, intellectual value. as you can tell, our judges had to make a decision with a huge task. our to think the judges for the find work, three of whom here this evening. [applause] thank you for that work. the virtue of nationalism by him. why did the virtual of nationalism stand out in such an impressive field? my friend roger, one of the most important books, one of the most important controversies about a time and other addresses this issue, you can expect the reviews on the one side to be going and very supportive and reviews on the other side maybe not so much. i'm at all other hundreds of reviews take it seriously. no matter what you think, you cannot dismiss this book. that's precisely the kind of discourse they honor with the award. it's not a policy organization, we don't drink activist. conservatives are all foundational ideas, we are pleased to recogniz

meanwhile, the liberal democrats wa nt meanwhile, the liberal democrats want another eu referendum andhe independence, they all did well. nearly 9000 seats were up for grabs, counting is still under way and the results do continue to change, but the conservatives are now more than 1000 now, 100 and labour is around 100. the lib dems have gained many more counsellors now, if these are replicated across the country as a whole, the bbc projects the conservatives and labour will get around 28% of the vote in the lib dems are 19 and the other parties are 25. our political editor has all the details. after a tough night, theresa may needed a bit of love. she did not need this. when will you resign? why didn't you resign was the shout. we do not want you. it only takes one to spoil the mood. out, out. they meant him, not her. but that needed explaining. these are always going to be difficult results and elections for us, we difficult results and elections for us, we are difficult results and elections for us, we are nine difficult results and elections for us, we are nine years difficult resu

where the national securities should be a very important area and the values that we introduce from liberal you know i mean what i'm saying is certain values which has some. direct you know. influence for the national security for example the militarization of the northern province anti from ins and some of the areas in the east reducing you know that we don't had we didn't have damage and see laws but then wasn't all that done in a spirit of reconciliation after more than 26 brutal civil war between the time of tigers and the government that's the thing i think the confusion between reconciliation peace building and liberal values because a group like this just imagine to have a council ideas and bringing funding like this and so how did this happen i mean if it was a country like singapore you know i mean i mean they would have been been arrested but we didn't have those mechanics seems to take them and these people in the intelligence documents has been there for the 34 years time it's not that i mean they've been there but they didn't have the probably to get them in i mean i believe in

brilliant flus for liberal democrats —— brilliant news for liberal democrats.r. well, there is stilljust time, we reckon a referendum could be delivered in 20 weeks, but even if that is not the case, the european union have indicated that as long as the uk is engaged in a democratic process, with a clear outcome, which would be the case with a referendum, where people are choosing between the deal at the moment, only theresa may‘s deal, there is none other on offer or staying in the eu, if the eu know we are engaged in that process, i‘m absolutely confident they would give us an extension to enable that peoples vote to take place sometime after the 31st october. it would be risky because it could end up with just as unclear a picture and then we have extended and then where are we? it is risky in that there is no guarantee the outcome of that referendum for instance would support the position i want, which is voting to stay in the european union. however, ithink is voting to stay in the european union. however, i think it‘s a perfectly legitimate democratic exe

system i mean which is a bit rich has some threat to the national security so you think you see a liberal values happening as a result of these used to somebody tax i definitely that's what my knee i mean i've written about it i see it in the liberal societies even in the united states and many of the where the national securities should be very important area and the values that we introduce from liberal you know i mean what i'm saying is certain values which has some. and direct you know. influence to the national security for example the militarization of the northern province anti-protons and some of the areas in the east reducing you know we don't had we didn't have the emergency laws but then wasn't all that done in a spirit of reconciliation after more than 26 brutal civil war between the time of tigers and the government that's the thing so i think the confusion between reconciliation peace building and liberal values because groups like this just imagine to have accounts like this and bringing funding like this and so how did this happen i mean if it was a country like singapore

the liberal democrats are clearly the strongest rallying point for this liberal movement to stop brexitork with others in different parties, who share the goal. i have never been a tribal politician, i have always beenin tribal politician, i have always been in favour of working with others. the current state of labour and the conservatives, i cannot see how coalition would work because they are led by brexiteers. the tories will be led by a hard brexiteer and that is at odds with oui’ brexiteer and that is at odds with our values. should we change the political system so that you have different parties, you have a pluralist politics working across party becomes the norm like it is in most countries in the world? yes, we should do that. we have this opportunity. this is the reason we should be helpful, there is a better way of doing things, we can't reshape our economy for people on the planet, we can harness this technical revolution we are living through. there is a betterfuture available and the liberal democrats are going to fight for that and i wa nt to are going to fight for that

neo liberalism is getting rid of the state getting the state out of the way of the economy as though it's simply just you know iran style libertarianism and what i want to show in the book is that actually the state has a very central role in kind of creating and in forcing markets and kind of bringing about this vision of society as dominated constantly by. market competition in every area of our lives and one kind of hints is the fact that one of the 1st things the bush administration did when they took power in iraq was to attempt to impose neo liberal best practices on iraq so if they were supposed to be different from the liberalism they didn't get the memo i want to get to. the demons in the title of the book and in a 2nd but i mean if you want to turn on m s n b c o c.n.n. the demons on the demons usual about in this book and i do want to get on to the the demons are russia and that's why trump is there and that's the explanation for what's gone wrong in anything other than taking responsibility for creating this phenomenon and creating the conditions that allowed trump to ari

democrats the liberal democrats want to remain in the e.u. so you see how divided the electorate is here in the u.k. ok divided electorate and a huge shake up let's play a sound bite now from nigel's fraud's laying out what he wants to see happen now we've got a deadline of the 31st of october all right that is the date which was posed to leave the european union that's implied but so what we're saying is we've got a mandate we demand people over we go shooting scene to get this country ready to be whatever the 2nd so ok 2 questions right now is frauds going to be on that bracks a team and is the country going to leave as he wants at the end of october. well to the 1st question not a fraud clearly wants to be on the team and i think it will then depend on who the next leader of the conservative party is and so therefore the next prime minister but he's very dangerous to the conservatives and although someone like boris johnson may decide that perhaps he has to pull him in it would be difficult because neither front has said so far he will not

liberal democrats up by 1196. down by 2%. liberal democrats up by 11%.to and thought would do well. we're talking about areas here — we've got fantastic teams there, i'm sure, but they were not on our list of places that we thought our vote share was going to go thought our vote share was going to 9° up thought our vote share was going to 9° up by thought our vote share was going to go up by 11%, necessarily. i think what we're seeing is that message is resonating. and clearly, where we've had huge resources, we're seeing very significant gains. but in places which have not been traditional lib dem heartlands, necessarily, then we're also seeing the public responding to that clarity of that message and that we're setting out very, very clearly voting for lib dems, you get local community champions, and also we have this message that a vote for the lib dems is a vote to stop brexit. with the european elections coming up in three weeks' time, that isa coming up in three weeks' time, that is a springboard going into that. and your loss of 7% of the vote the

we have noticed that is the area where the liberal democrats do well and the liberal democrats do wellwell, so although the the conservative loss, substantial though they are are perhaps not yet towards the high end of the scale we anticipated, certainly, the conservatives are going to come away it looks as though with quite substantially fewer councillor than they had at 6.00 yesterday evening. what do you see so far, the big picture in the the big picture, the conservatives going backwards wasn't a surprise. the big question we asked ourself was how well would labour do. short answer, the labour didn't maybe gains, whether you look at seats won or lost or the voting figures we have been looking at in a0 councils during the course of the night. labour have gone backwards so for example, even though the seats up for grabs were, yesterday were last fought over in 2015, on the day that ed miliband lost the general election labour's vote is down somewhat, from on average from then and the labour party has fewer seat compared with then, the message is yes we knew voter were unhappy with th

that month of the whole of the liberation movement the month by that we have liberated you is the african national congress we have been in previous elections for instance and between the four and elections and even beyond the time when the fall of president jacob zuma to. two thousand and nine in my view is that at the out they don't because they have their current generation. born for these these are the ones who are on during the time of my nelson mandela's presidency just alsa ninety ninety four many of them in the twenty's twenty five years old it's. associated with this liberation month. but i think that because the had you don't have any look or nation or the cost of living during apartheid so it goes out the ones that you would definitely need with this liberation month and many of us including them says that we conduct suggests that you know that. metaphor or that montreal is quite outdated because if you look in the region not only in zimbabwe zambia and other countries they. are always does money make nowadays ok the a.n.c. run the company in seeing that there's. corruption how

that month of the whole of the liberation movement the month by that we have liberated you is the african national congress we have been in previous elections for instance in the twenty four years and even beyond the time when they fought president jacob zuma to . two thousand and nine i in my view is not at the outdated because a current generation. these are the ones who are on during the time of my nelson mandela's presidency just alsa ninety ninety four many of them in the twenty's twenty five years old it's a you don't associate with this liberation month you know but i think that because they had you don't have any other correlation or because of me being joining up so it goes out the ones that. i really need with this liberation month and many of us including them says that we conduct so i just you know that. metaphor all that month is quite outdated because if you look in the region not only in zimbabwe zambia and other countries. ok the a.n.c. run the company and seen that. there's no corruption how else could they have. to gain support for the party. why don't we go. to use what
