mandelson and blair are pulling the strings of starmer.s look unfortunate, doesn't it? the big article on sunday, knowing he's doing the conference on tuesday, which would of course sam been organised months ago. it's a bad look. >> yeah. i mean he's trailing his conference isn't he. he wants people to wants people to come to it. i am going to agree with piers though. i think it is absolutely wrong for private companies to be paying for paying companies to be paying for paying for spads. that's a that's a real problem. and if that's a real problem. and if that's happening early on in starmer's administration, then that's something he needs . he that's something he needs. he needs to get right and get it right immediately. because you can't have that . can't have that. >> okay, gentlemen, thank you so much. we've run out of time, but you will be back in the next houn you will be back in the next hour. first, though, the very latest news headlines with our very own mark . white. very own mark. white. >> it's 1032, the main news headunes >> i

peter mandelson said that he believed that the obama aides were behind the george clooney piece thatd quit. i don't think i think you're supposed to admit that actors were sort of shills for sort of political causes, but it's just like we're just all on the table now. and even if you heard about this thing of the super friends intervention, a group, super friends are going to come and have an intervention to come and have an intervention to try and get rid of biden. there was a funny meme about it where he's saying, joke's on you, jack. i don't know who any of you are . yeah, it's at that of you are. yeah, it's at that level, super friend. >> i'm kind of reassured that there are some political figures behind these hollywood celebrities. and it's not just, you know, some airhead, you know, guy who puts on a hat and pretends he's batman coming up with these political ideas, cressida . cressida. >> no, that's a fair point, do you think that clooney is an airhead? >> yeah, i do, he seems smart, didn't he? >> but he wasn't. it's all obama. >> yeah, it's all obama telling him to what say.

peter mandelson, former close adviser and minister under blair and indeed david miliband again, somebody labour politics in this country. any view on that ? i mean, is it any view on that? i mean, is it important who we appoint, not least if we have to bridge a gap between republican thinking and labour thinking? >> exactly. >> exactly. >> no, it's very important actually . and david miliband actually. and david miliband spent a lot of time in the united states. he might be a good choice, i just feel like these choices quite hearken back to 20 years ago. yes, could we get some fresh labour thinking and blood in the mix? you know, people who maybe have more of a less of a globalist worldview, the, you know, the republicans right now are actually very much labour focused in the sense they had the president of the teamsters union speak at the republican national convention, maybe less progressive people and more people who are, focused more traditional labour representative would work better with these republicans , maybe with these republicans, maybe nigel farage of this parish. >> well, t

. >> or not, neil kinnock, peter mandelson, like you generally have to have lost an election in the uk be the case. >> or another country, coming up we're going to be crossing over live to our reporter in milwaukee, wisconsin, ahead of donald trump's nomination for presidency. stay with us. >> good afternoon. britain. it's 2:27. now. tonight, donald trump is expected to speak for the first time since he was shot at a rally in pennsylvania. as he accepts the republican nomination for the presidency. >> yes, he plans to build on his running mate, j.d. vance's vow to champion forgotten americans, with the central theme being to kick start a golden age and make america great once again. >> well, while man ray addison is there at the convention in milwaukee and ray, he's outside. things are getting going, of course, but a lot of anticipation for what donald trump will say this evening, a lot of anticipation and a lot of security as well. >> i want to just get out of the way and let you see some of the security elements that we have here at the fiserv forum in milwaukee. i've never seen so m

. >> it's like remember when peter mandelson, after the 97 election was only hot water with squeezed be clearer minded. >> now he can't just trot out his catchphrases. exactly right. here is the very latest news with sam francis. >> very good morning to you. it's just after 11:30 and we'll start with the latest developments coming to us from kyiv this morning, where we understand that a hospital there, a children's hospital, has been hit by a major airstrike as russia launched a barrage of missiles across ukraine. these are the live pictures for you. of that attack. where? the pictures. we don't have those pictures. apologies. but we do now know that at least 20 people have been killed across the country in that latest attack. the biggest bombardment of ukraine for several months now across the country, multiple people killed, as i say, and around 50 others injured, according to the interior ministry. you can see there the pictures of the rescue efforts as they continue into the early hours of this morning at that children's hospital . at that children's hospital. here, just days aft

project, which was worked out with intellectual giants like charles clarke and john reid and peter mandelsonroject which was worked out with john hoskyns, a whole bunch of people on the right who'd worked out what needed to be done. labour reforms , supply side reform, reforms, supply side reform, monetarism, all the rest of it. the only person who had a great night last night, who's got a project is nigel farage, and that manifesto from the uk reform party is exactly what liz truss wanted to do, but wanted to try and do it better. and if the less the conservative party grasp an awful lot of that from nigel farage and tice, then i think they will be in deep, deep trouble. and they will. >> i can already hear the siren voices. i heard george osborne today, the former chancellor, who's no longer in power, saying, oh, well, if they try and compete with nigel farage, they're doomed. well hang on, they're doomed. well hang on, they look pretty doomed already . they look pretty doomed already. >> there's a very, very difficult discussion. the conservative party has got to have with itself around t

david miliband and peter mandelson.e's been a lot of talk about donald trump being a nonconformist. you might want to go a different route. and there assert another name has been mentioned, nigel farage. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think that, you know, if you look at the key figures in the, in the labour establishment, socialists really, they're not going to get on with donald trump and on so many positions this labour government is completely at odds, actually with where trump, would be. and if you look for at example, the labour party's net zero agenda, if you look at the statements they've made with regard to israel and gaza , regard to israel and gaza, labour will likely, support the recognition of palestinian state. david lammy has supported the icc prosecution of benjamin netanyahu. and so there are big differences, ahead . and i can differences, ahead. and i can see a lot of tension between washington and london ahead . if washington and london ahead. if you have a labour government and, and a new republican, preside

appointed foreign secretary about it, going to someone like douglas alexander or maybe even lord mandelsonrty sort of let it run and everyone assumed he wouldn't get this job now. he'd be glad. he'll be glad to have this job. be glad. he'll be glad to have thisjob. now be glad. he'll be glad to have this job. now the question is how long he can stay in it. >> and what do you think donald trump, donald trump will be, will be? i mean, he probably won't know who david lammy is, but he will know who he is if he gets in. he'll soon be made aware of the critical past . we aware of the critical past. we talk a lot about the so—called special relationship. if you remember barack obama, will you be at the back of the queue? if we did brexit, what we did do brexit. david lammy was totally against brexit and now he was totally against donald trump. in fact, he wanted to join the protest when president trump, as he was then, was coming to sadiq khan's london. so it's going to be an awkward kick off. and is that a problem? >> it's a big problem. i don't think donald trump forgets these things, even if

they'll be relying on mandelson, blair brown in the background.who also came very close to losing her seat to reform. and again, you know, i think this is going to be one of the stories bubbling underneath the surface. do you think there'll be any any surprises? >> do you think sir keir starmer will be quite cautious? >> i think that the tone of the cabinet will reflect the tone of the speech that we heard about an hour ago . i don't think he's an hour ago. i don't think he's going to take the risk of having any overtly out there personalities he would like. i believe a full cabinet of plodders who get on with the job and won't, as it were, be outliers from the standard party line. i think it will might well be a charisma free zone. >> interesting. >> interesting. >> interesting. >> interesting . intentionally. >> interesting. intentionally. do you think? >> intentionally? yes almost as a as a counterbalance to the volatility of politics over the last year and a half, say that he actually needs to have people who have the reputation have the abili

. >> you know , blair brown and >> you know, blair brown and mandelson are famous for basically doingly opfion >> and i think that's his only option at the moment. but i think our only hope really is going to be the fact that the hard left of the party, the corbynites , actually don't want corbynites, actually don't want us to be involved with the eu because they can't create their communist utopia. >> if we're ruled by a foreign nation. >> let's go to mark sheridan in chester. mark >> yeah, i definitely agree with what's been said. he's going to reverse, but he's got to realise, as it's mentioned , realise, as it's mentioned, europe is no longer the same. and i think with the elections in france, you know, it's going to be harder for people to come to be harder for people to come to the uk because they'll they'll man their borders . and, they'll man their borders. and, you know, let's, let's face it, 17 million voted for brexit to control our borders. now he's coming out with these words of freedom, of movement. for all we know, he might stop the boats, the dinghies for safety. they m

he's talking about people like mandelson and miliband being us ambassadors.cts for previous, really problematic international interventions. and i think we need to step back and really have a proper evaluation of things. and we've seen some name calling recently about this kind of thing, but it's essential that we really talk about it in a grown up way. >> i mean , it's interesting >> i mean, it's interesting because you both sort of reiterating, in effect, the points that nigel farage made dunng points that nigel farage made during the election, which obviously got him an awful lot of stick. but when you look at it in this sort of context, it makes a lot of sense for keir to do this. >> no, no, no, for what nigel said. yes, absolutely . said. yes, absolutely. >> but they must be all these nato ambassadors and leaders and all the rest of it, or people are all involved in this. they must be aware of all of this. do they know something we don't? >> i think that they have to be seen as being strong to continue this sort of western strength and empire. and if the

i mean, you know, all the talk about mandelson on meeting oligarchs on various islands and yachts and >> yeah. yeah. yes. >>— >> yeah. yeah. yes. >> but also again, daddy , your >> but also again, daddy, your wedding probably wants to show what incredibly influential world leaders he knows. >> yeah, absolutely. definitely yeah. yes. >> big moment for india as well. yes >> well yeah. >> well yeah. >> you know we're going to see a lot more indian billionaires, not just russian oligarchs anymore. india overtook us as the fifth largest economy last yeah the fifth largest economy last year. yeah, but we still give them aid. yeah. >> oh give them aid. >> oh give them aid. >> yeah. there you go. that's another issue. stephanie fraser, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> here's your weather. >> here's your weather. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news morning. weather on. gb. news morning. >> time for your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. most of us will nofice on gb news. most of us will notice the cool feel

tony blair and peter mandelson went out of their way in the 19905 to woo with the murdoch so they couldabour felt they had to seek it in the years gone by. the influence of the tabloids, they are still there, but the key thing is referred murdoch always backed a winner and i think what has happened here is he has probably sniffed what direction the polls are going and made a bet, let's back a winner.— polls are going and made a bet, let's back a winner. thank you very much, let's back a winner. thank you very much. let's — let's back a winner. thank you very much, let's continue _ let's back a winner. thank you very much, let's continue with - let's back a winner. thank you very much, let's continue with this - much, let's continue with this because in the moments after we heard about the sun's endorsement of keir starmer, we caught up with just parker who is on the labour campaign bus. taste parker who is on the labour campaign bus. ~ . �* ., .,, parker who is on the labour campaign bus. . �* ., ., bus. we haven't had any reaction 'ust et, bus. we haven't had any reaction just yet. to
