he wasn�*t new labour�*s slickest politician. those five pledges are essential.he was the glue holding blair�*s movement together. i can�*t use the boards of old labour, i have to use the old ways. he was highly intelligent. that was sometimes masked by people he used to make fun of his speeches and his use of the english language, but he was an incredibly direct communicator. and even if the syntax never quite made sense, the sentiment was very powerful and made complete sense, and i found him, you know, we had our disagreements from time to time, but he was loyal, committed and an enormous help to me and he had a fantastic gut instinct about politics. as well as a bridge between new and old labour, he was also a councillor holding together the increasingly level of partnership between blair and gordon brown. he remained one of labour�*s best communicators, despite the occasional mistake. can we do that again? sorry, we are live at the moment, mr prescott. will you agree to do that? he often didn�*t see eye to eye with others in labour�*s hierarchy, such as pete

what does he think the uk's new labour government should do to make the best of artificial intelligenced the new government to embrace the economic opportunities that i think are going to come with al and also the scientific possibilities. so, helping with health care, drug design, but also climate. now, the new labour government has said that it wants to be a green superpower, and we know that, at the moment, this technology, artificial intelligence, is very, very power hungry. yeah. so how is that relationship going to work out in the future, do you think? i think, in the short term, that's correct, there's a lot of power needed to scale these systems up. but most of the large companies, including google, have committed to green power usage and net—zero targets. the types of systems we're building, we're training on these large data centres will have enormous implications and good use cases for climate. so, things like getting more efficiency out of existing infrastructure like power grids. also, we're applying ai itself to save power in the data centres. so, i think, in the end, that

and as i mentioned, this new labour government's willingness to push a reset on those relations with european union. so, we have seen, as the two leaders a little bit earlier on, they laid wreaths at the statue of george clements, the leader of france from 1917 to 1920 —— georges clemenceau during the upheaval during the first world war. then we saw the wreath—laying at the statue of sir winston churchill, and again like i say, a historic moment for the british leader because it was sir winston churchill who was with charles de gaulle on armistice day in paris at the arc de triomphe, such a significant and poignant memorial to the fallen, and now we have the two leaders reflecting and meeting, veterans and members of the french and british forces, the signing of the golden book of the flame, and greeting members of the flame committee, the flagbearers, the presidents of major patriotic associations including british ones of course, military authorities, any poignant day as europe remembers what happened 106 years ago. so, as we monitor what is happening here in paris at the tomb of t

that's a phrase that one of your predecessors as a new labour minister used. do you believe that?now from speaking to ourjob coaches, our fantasticjob coaches in job centres that there are people who could work, who aren't, but i think they are in the minority, the young people that i speak to. i went to my tesco�*s in my constituency in beaumont, leeds the other week. young people really struggling with anxiety and depression, getting support from tesco�*s and the king's trust to get the skills and training they need to get those jobs, supporting work. and you know what they said? they found it was better for their mental health to have that structure, to have that purpose with the right support. i think it's a challenge. but i am optimistic. but what will you do about people who you believe can work but won't work? i mean, you are already, which might have slipped slightly under the radar. the government is already tightening up the rules on who can claim disability benefits. it's known as the work capability assessment. now that is being changed, and the projections are that mo

jon donnison, bbc news, jerusalem. the labour six months to live would be able to end their life, but only if they can self—administer the fatal drugs. the patient would also need approval from two independent doctors and a high courtjudge. she's been speaking in the palace of westminster. we know that the current situation is not fit for practice. we've got people, who in their dying days, feel they have no other option than to either end their own lives, travel to a different country but only if they can afford to do so which is very expensive, and often doing so prematurely before they are actually so ill that they are dying because they have to be fit enough and well enough to travel. we've also got people who no matter how good the palliative care they receive is, and we have got some of the best palliative care in the world in this country, that does not mean there aren't challenges and we need to talk about those as well, but for some people, no matter how good that care is, they have a horrible harrowing death. which is n
