it's very important over the coming months that richie sunak is seen to get a grip on this.hink we started to see that early this week but i think joe is right. boris johnson, when he feels wrong will feel very angry and it won't be this insnct to shut up and go away. i think he's likely to stay around unless of course, he really concludes that he's not going to be able to win again. i think if there's one thing that runs through all of his career is the need to win and be popular. if the polls really say where they are, 69% of people think that boris did deliberately mislead parliament. i think it's going to be that much more what happens in the conservative party that dictates the future. >> interesting. we are talking about the infighting, civil war is a term i have heard a number of times. there will be elections that take place. still holding out, she was going to resign, no she wants to know exactly what happened with the potential period. how damaging are these strands? >> it's very damaging to say you're going to resign and then say will actually know there is some i

that's quite a sensitive topic for rishi sunak, isn't it?uite a lot of countries — certainly the eu looked at the inflation reduction act, which of course is about partly incentivising investment in green technologies, and were worried about the way in which that might affect competition. so i think a lot of countries — whether it's the european union and the 27 member states there, or the united kingdom, that's obviously left the eu — slightly looking over their shoulders there and wondering what more they need to do in order to not be caught out, in a sense, and left behind. so he'll certainly want to talk about that. and i think it's quite interesting just to pick up on the artificial intelligence point — obviously britain is going through this phase where it's trying to position itself, following brexit, as a global player, and rishi sunak really insisting that the uk can lead that conversation. but i do note that the us and the eu recently held their fourth trade and technology council in sweden, where they discussed none other than art

prime minister sunak: thank you, mr. president. before i begin my remarks, a word if i may on what happened in france this morning. all our thoughts are on those affected by this unfathomable attack including a british child and their family. i kaked prime minister macron and we stand ready to offer any assistance we can. mr. president, joe, it is an honor to be here and thank you for the warm welcome. not for decades has the relationship between our two nations been so important. our belief from freedom and democracy and the rule of law have never changed and never will. what has changed are the challenges that we face. and standing here together, as our predecessors have done for generations, i feel confident that through the strength of our relationship, we can shape the world once again in our pursuit of liberty, prosperity, and the possibilities of a new age. that begins with our highest priority, national security. last time i was here in the u.s., we signed the most significant defense partnership in generations. because we

and worse for rishi sunak, borisjohnson has hinted he might try a comeback.s means for rishi sunak and the future of his government. parties call for unity when there isn't any unity, and that's precisely where the conservative party finds itself tonight. so it faces three by—elections atjust a point where it is really, really struggling in the opinion polls. so three people on their own side choosing to inflict upon the party, at a difficult time, the views of the electorate when they are miles and miles behind the labour party in the national opinion polls, and in some places liberal democrats performing very well, too. so, speaking to conservative mps and i've been making dozens and dozens of calls and zapping out loads and loads of whatsapp messages for the last 24 hours or so, there's a deep sense of frustration and anger at what many see as the selfish acts of those who have decided to resign. now, of course, it is their prerogative to be able to do that, and we haven't yet heard in any detail at all from any of them about precisely what has motivated t

let's listen to what some of mr sunak had to say.me to do something that i wasn't prepared to do, because i didn't think it was right. that was either to overrule the committee or make promises to people. i wasn't prepared to do that, i didn't think it was right. if people don't like that then tough. when i got thisjob... thing—mack. i want to do this job differently. lets bring in our political correspondent, rob watson. let's talk about what we saw there from rishi sunak. it is very clear that the prime minister is trying as much as he can to move away from the way in which politics is perceived to have been done by borisjohnson. absolutely, and if borisjohnson and rishi sunak were ever mates, which i don't think they were particularly, they certainly aren't now. it is certainly quite striking, because up until now, rishi sunak, yes of course he wanted to distinguish himself from the government of boris johnson, but he was anxious not to rile him up, not to say things, sort of treated him like a firework that hadn't gone off proper
