nick clegg r0, bbc midlands today, birmingham.g night after a 20 year deal between the rights holder, disney, and sky, ended last month. itv said it was a multi—year agreement which kicks off with next year's event on the 10th of march. we are going to leave you half—hour with pictures from an annual dog surfer fon in california. the event is in its 18th year and raises funds for a rescue centre in santa fe. as you can see they are doing pretty well at this surfathon, more than 50 dogs took part. now time for a look at the weather with louise. hello there. we have seen the weather story gradually change, over the past 2a hours and with the pressure is gradually sinking south, it has brought fresh air, chilly start in scotland, northern ireland with the best of the sunshine. here is the weather front centres across wales and northern england and across the north—east of england, where we are likely to see the heaviest, most persistent rain for the remainder of the afternoon. we could see heavier bursts generally through parts of yo

from the minute nick clegg and david cameron came up and in a sense, wasn't that the whole point?, as liberal democrats, had grown up partnership, politics, parties working together like they do in large parts of europe and other parts of the world? why did you feel the need now to apologise for it? i'm not apologising. i'm just saying that behind the scenes we were fighting very hard. but let me tell you why i think it looked smoother from the outside, and that was because, and you've alluded to it, we wanted to show that coalitions could work. so we do believe, and you're quite right, we think britain would be a much stronger country, a much healthier country, a much more successful country if political parties sort of had to work together. it's one of the reasons we believe in electoral reform. so we wanted to show that parties could be grown—up and mature and find a way forward by working together. but it mean we didn't have huge disagreements. but, you know, the truth is, you've got to make government work. but it didn't mean we didn't have huge disagreements. but, you know,

could nick clegg did. nick clegg could not go into coalition with gordon brown . not get on this time round. i think that a more moderate labour party that means that the lib dems could do a coalition should they want to. i mean, at the moment the polls are still showing keir starmer has got a 150 seat overall majority . it doesn't need a majority. it doesn't need a coalition, but you never know. >> tony. we've got a big speech today from the home secretary. >> yes, we do. >> and really she's >> and i'm really glad she's making speech because it's making this speech because it's about has got to about time. this has got to stop. this whole 1951, you un agreement that was done was a different world. it was a different world. it was a different world. it was a different world. not to say that everything that's been done before is no good, but this particular thing, we live in a different we have different world now and we have to change things. we can't have these open borders. a story came to me recently actually about a florist who was working with one of the hote

nick clegg, when he government. support nuclear power because it wouldn't come on stream until 2122. big mistake , huge mistake. 2122. big mistake, huge mistake. david cameron said , ditch the david cameron said, ditch the green crap. that's his quote, not mine. famously if we hadn't ditched it, we would now have wind turbines and solar power much more in bedded at much less cost because we would now be reaping the benefit from it. we've now got, as we've said throughout the program today, an election looming . rishi sunak is election looming. rishi sunak is a desperate man . he's latched on a desperate man. he's latched on to the small win in uxbridge and thinking that he can turn this in an anti green agenda. all he's doing is kicking it down the road. he hasn't really done very much, has he? >> i mean, delaying the ban on petrol and diesel to give people a little bit more time. but he's giving £500 million to tata steel for their green transition to keep them afloat. >> so £5 million to tata steel, but not invest

do you remember nick clegg told us the european army was a dangerous fantasy ? it wasn't.? it wasn't. it was a reality. it's a dangerous reality. it means military alignment. it means closer ties with brussels . it's everything with brussels. it's everything brexiteers voted against and it's back. it's policy . see keir it's back. it's policy. see keir starmer would be proud of why he has sunak done this. it's a remainer policy. it goes against everything that people voted for to get brexit done in 2019. it's a betrayal of that vote and i cannot believe i just wonder what are the tories for ? this is what are the tories for? this is the labour policy coming in via sunak? >> well, we can ponder on that last point in a second, but michael, i mean it seems like a slight overreaction from you there. >> i think. i mean, the plan was always as far as i understand, to stay a part of horizon this scientific funding mechanism. so even johnson, when was even boris johnson, when he was bringing version bringing through his version of the withdrawal agreement, was in favour happened i

like, you know, when nick clegg got being deputy prime minister.s true to a certain extent, but we're a swathes of conservative seats because of the way lib dem votes split around the country. it's not even it's very strong in certain areas. so the south west hampshire , surrey, the so—called hampshire, surrey, the so—called blue wall, basically, which davey is saying he'll smash through. >> although i'm going to ask wendy chamberlain later. wendy chamberlain this later. she's liberal democrat chief she's the liberal democrat chief whip. this confusion over where they are on the eu got layla moran, their own foreign affairs spokeswoman, saying will spokeswoman, saying we will rejoin and is saying, no, no, no, we won't. you know, where do you you look at the you stand if you look at the wording of policy, it is wording of their policy, it is rejoin without admitting rejoin join without admitting that would rejoin because that they would rejoin because i think there are some conservatives obviously conservatives who are obviously back be back brexit

i mean, people have been so critical of like nick clegg, instance, like nick clegg, for instance, who. if we had those, we would have extra grid would have that extra grid capacity. mean, there so capacity. i mean, there are so many challenges. capacity. i mean, there are so ma i/ challenges. capacity. i mean, there are so ma i mean,3nges. capacity. i mean, there are so ma i mean, the�*s. capacity. i mean, there are so ma i mean, the gas, capacity. i mean, there are so mai mean, the gas, gas >> i mean, the gas, gas infrastructure , the will infrastructure, the that will cost billions to change if we want to adapt it to other you know. >> well, but that's that's the other issue. that's the other issue this. we go issue with this. i mean, we go back the cars and it's all back to the cars and it's all about effectively people are saying there's going to have to be electric vehicles, which obviously there's all the controversy the controversy over how the batteries are built the batteries are built and the amount of carbon used in producing batteries. a lot producing the batteries. a lot

how ironic it is that the eclipse out there where nick clegg in the 2010 coalition often said that building online until 2022 and it will take too long. well, here we are in 20, 23 years away from a nuclear power station whilst he's in california , living it up he's in california, living it up on his facebook salary. thank you for that. you're absolutely right. brenda says yes, wind power has definitely run out of puff. we need nuclear, says brenda. she's very, very clear about that . i'll get to more of about that. i'll get to more of your emails shortly . we just one your emails shortly. we just one more from valerie on wind power. we've known for ten years that wind power is not the way. what's the point of net zero when the rest of the world is pumping out carbon? we're surrounded sea that ebbs surrounded by the sea that ebbs and flows. surely that is the way to go. brilliant thanks for those emails. i get two more of them at 10:30 when the papers arrive, but it's time now for the newsmaker . and tonight, liz the newsmaker. and tonight, liz truss has said that her premiership was wrecke
