tony blair entered downing street with a landslide victory. ah, blair came into office with an enormous majority. so i think it would have been quite natural that the palace might have been a little bit skirt as to what he was going to do with it as it were. and you know, he, he was very, very cocky when he started out he, he walked to the state opening of parliament holding his wife's hand, which made the state procession look slightly sort of antiquated. at least that was the impression, tbs, all new labor. it was always new in a new cool baton year. it was all, everything was going to change. things were going to apparently get better. during the 1st audience, elizabeth cuts herself confident, prime minister, down to size. when tony blair 1st became prominent his very 1st audience with the queen, he told me the queen said, ah mister bla, welcome to 1st audience as prime minister. of course, my 1st ron minister was winston churchill. and he went and bought then. and he said that put me my place straight away. oh, just 3 months after blair ta

again, obviously under tony blair, well, there was always a very large navient community and dating back to bremond times and i before that bucks off the g. a community with a church. believe it? yes. yes, that's correct. i thought i, after the, the, the wall was the shape of libya big began to be mapped out by the allied forces that there was a decision to make about how they would be governed. and the british who were there as a result of defeating the germans and the italians i'm were responsible for the administration immediately afterwards. and 943 had a difficult task of judging what was best for libya. and of course there had been experiments with the republic in as a 1st floor and also the sovereignty can emmert. and that was the one the person favorite. but in terms of the relationship with the jewish community, as the state of israel was to clad so as the tension increased and, and as i described in the book, there were incidents which meant that the british administrators say at intervene a lease, a troubles between the church community and they are, i mean, you say that the,

again, obviously under tony blair, well, there was always a very large navient community and dating back to bremond time. so i before that bucks off the g community with a church because it's yes. yes, that's correct. about are often the, the, the wall was the shape of libya, big, big on to be mapped out by the i forces that there was a decision to make about how they would be government. and the british who were there as a result of defeating the germans and the italians i'm were responsible for the administration immediately afterwards. and 943 had the difficult task of judging what was best for libya. and of course the hot b experiments with the republic and as the festival. and we'll say the sovereignty can emmert. and that was the one the person favorite. but in terms of the relationship with jewish community, as the state of israel was to clack. so you have the tension increased and as i described in the book, there were incidents which meant that the british administrators say intervene a lease, a troubles between the church community and they are, i mean, you say that the, there

they have turned it around in the past in the 1990's, tony blair and bill clinton.rase, tough on crime and on the cries -- tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. it can be done, but it takes a lot of time and persuasion. i'm not sure there's enough time to do it before the midterms. judy: do you see there is a chance -- where is the opportunity for democrats here? jonathan: i think the opportunity comes in another set of numbers i looked at. the poll points out trump's approval rating. donald trump's approval rating was at 39%, his disapproval is at 56%. not dissimilar to president biden's, but if you are a democrat running against candidates who have been endorsed by donald trump or have not run away by donald trump, that gives you something to run on. in the end, those candidates only have their fealty to trump to run on where is democrats have something to talk about, about what they want to do, real plans. correspondent: david: can i disagree with jonathan? i think running against donald trump is a gigantic mistake. that is what we saw in the race in v

awful job to prove that they were economically competent and that led to the 1997 landslide of tony blairhe conservatives of good economic management and there is a lot of questions from tory mps about why rishi sunak is holding back this £20 billion war chest if you like in order to give tax cuts before the next election when, right now, as of today people are seeing their fuel bills go up and the cost of living is also going up at an alarming rate and this article talks about someone running a food bank in liverpool and we have heard these stories before, that people are saying that we cannot have fresh vegetables like potatoes because we cannot afford to cook them. it is a big concern, a huge concern for the conservatives, particularly with local elections coming around the corner. should we delve into the — coming around the corner. should we delve into the political— coming around the corner. should we delve into the political calculation - delve into the political calculation of all of this? do you think rishi sunak will have to do something differently?— differently? yes. he is goi

i would also draw attention to the fact that it is tony blair who destroyed iraq over the years.st said, forgive the future, i was deceived, but remember, this is a constant tactic, probably since the conquest, let 's say, of the territory that the state now occupies, the united states of america, the tactics of playing off fueling endless deceit. that is, in this regard, they have become seriously adept. unlike us, ukraine’s success in information-psy is indeed. technical operations are much more noticeable than the successes of the armed forces of ukraine on the fronts of hostilities. even more noticeable are those tortures and tortures of bullying. including over the fallen, who are subjected to means russian military personnel by fighters of various kinds of the ukrainian armed forces. i would like to point out that it is also no coincidence that the appearance of these videos is also are completely understandable. explanation on the one hand thus. they are trying to cause the fury of the street personnel of the armed forces of the russian federation so that our troops really

it's worth remembering when he was first elected prime minister in 1998, tony blair had only been inme. his critics say, of course, he's gone from being a liberal liberal to being one rather hostile to many of the things he once believed in what he campaigned against communism. we will go to opposition headquarters. i would say opposition party but of course, it's not a party, it is an alliance of parties which looks like it is fails to break through. not sure if this is a concession speech by the party candidate to be prime minister, the alliance's candidate to be prime minister, but the position at the moment, with 70% of the votes cast, with the protection of only having 57 seats in a 190 member parliament, is that his brave attempt at dislodging the prime minister viktor 0rban by burying their own differences, this attempt has failed, it would appear to be the case. let me just check one more thing for you. yes, this is in fact the leader of the alliance, the 49—year—old leader of, there would—be prime minister who is taking on, peter marki—zay there, addressing the opposition al

but you don't think that george w bush and tony blair with dictators in the west when the illegal invasion of iraq happened. overwhelming support by the people or differently had popular support the iraq invasion. when blair and bush did it. you wouldn't therefore say that they were dictators, would, you know, they weren't dictators, but they played an important role in sort of framing what issues were and you know what the options were and what the consequences of not doing something was so so i think as individuals they frame for people, they frame the debate in a way which, you know, one strategy much more attractive and politically acceptable than another. so, so, you know, i know that the, so, so, so they had to bring people along with the more than putin has to, you know, he has more freedom to kind of do what he wants. i suppose. i mean, you don't think there are many in the global south which takes a very different view or you just have to listen to their media to realize how different they are. and that the media is free for you in the global south, obviously than europe to day, w

tony blair. they announced an age of nuclear 12 years ago.said you will be cooking your christmas turkey by 2017. it is not going to be ready by 2026! is the turkey acceptable to eat at this point? but my point was this — at the time with the cameron osborne government there was criticism of the price that the government had guaranteed they would pay for electricity which, i looked it up, £92.50 per megawatt hour. does it look like a good deal now? it does at the moment, but like cold water this is a moment of crisis and fuel prices are very high. this will be a temporary thing and there is no fundamental shortage of fossil fuels. the world will reorganise itself, and there will be power available, and so prices will fall, in two years. in time, prices will fall. but what hasn't changed, | and to go back, inevitably they will rise and fall, - but this concept of energy security is now . front and centre. just like the pandemic global health at the centre stage i and stopped us from talking - face—to—face, what is happening and what putin has

about what actually happened, we can remember a lot of examples of javier salahu. we can remember tony blairwas the first to say that there were no chemical weapons of mass destruction in iraq; we can remember carla ponti, who was the general the prosecutor for yugoslavia, who later wrote about the fact that trafficking in human organs was indeed and completely a proposal, and on the american side that this case would be referred to the international criminal court. this uselessness is absolutely true, that's the point, but the problem is that everyone understands perfectly well that such a transfer resolution is made by the international court of justice of russia, it's all flown, so this is an impasse when you need to create some kind of separate, if we really want investigate, because we again have andrey vladimirovich, we again have an example of how this international criminal court works. this same court worked in relation to the crimes of the serbs in relation. to correctly i say everything in other mechanisms. no, that's all. so you need to either come up with them, or even abandon t

was in belgrade bridges, passenger trains, a television center the former british prime minister tony blair said that this is not a television center, but an organ of aggressive serbian propaganda. similarly to day french, president micron does not give press accreditation to our tv channel. and sputnik in the alleys, a palace calling them not media, but propaganda tools. these manners and habits sit div, xerox, mosul, and serious rocca were raised to the grounds. there were corpses lying there on, buried for weeks. it's all across the ocean, a threat to the security of the united states of america in kosovo. they created the largest military base in the balkans of may be not only in the balkans, no one is going to withdraw it. that's the problem of an unshakable confidence in one's own rightness in exclusivity, lou, there's a term exceptional nation, which both democrats and republicans use the same way. the sense of superiority revived. some memories, especially now when russ, a phobia and real racism towards everything russian is cultivated at the highest level to just so the 3rd, so now

tony blair said in the same vein prison micron denies the insubordinate and accreditations the leaves a palace, calling them not media propaganda outlets. these habits and behavior patterns have deep roots. mosul in iraq and racket in syria were bombed into ruins. dead bodies stayed in the streets for weeks. the u. s. claimed there were threats to its security in those places on the other side of the ocean. the largest military base in the balkans was establishing cost over and it's not going anywhere. the pretext was the instability that slow, but on the loss of each allegedly created in the region by allegedly oppressed in cost of albanians. let me emphasize this. once again, they think they can do whatever they want in the name of their own security. while they deny of the right to secure our own borders and territories where russians have been oppressed for years, bombed humiliated strips of their rights, the language culture and traditions the problems that the u. s. is absolutely sure it is always writes, and exceptional democrats and republicans alike use the term exceptional n

there's a lot to think about even if macron beats or stop by the evening when tony blair was in officeu going to get anywhere near play in the summer, do you think? hopefully, it won't be too manic but, look. where we can a few covid—i9 people want to go away in airports are finally doing well but are finding it difficult to cope with covid—i9, known as the rest so, it's going to be tough in the next few months. it's going to be tough in the next few months-— few months. increasing people workin: few months. increasing people working in _ few months. increasing people working in the _ few months. increasing people working in the airports, - few months. increasing people working in the airports, the - few months. increasing people - working in the airports, the checks which _ working in the airports, the checks which are — working in the airports, the checks which are immediate for people to work— which are immediate for people to work for— which are immediate for people to work for less and i think the home office _ work for less and i think the home office right now is doing because t

will fight the next general election, until -- until they are forced -- forced to say otherwise as tony blairs not the end for boris johnson yet, at all. he came very close, i think, to losing his job in january. some of the mps were with very worried that he was a -- a big-vote loser for them. they have recovered somewhat in the opinion polls since then, and the obvious alternative prime minister, the chancellor, his stock has really tumbled following a disastrous mini budget when he announced last month and revelations about his wife not paying tax on her international income in this country. so boris johnson's got -- got some time but he is obviously very worried about how long conservative mps will give him. >> and of course he has said he just wants to get on with the job but the public is not happy with what he's been doing. and they haven't forgeten about party gate but it sounds like you think he can sort of work through this, and eventually people will forgive and forget? >> i don't know about fordpichbing and forgetting but i mean, the public -- if -- if you ask the public whether a

just going to refer back with afghanistan for the uk parliament held in contempt over afghanistan, tony blairhe pulled out u.s. troops and left nato allies in the lurch. in this go it alone dead of the night move that outrage and angered nato allies but jen psaki and the white house team is saying basically afghanistan was a success. your take on this? >> in addition to answering questions with spin, that self evidently ridiculous like the afghanistan evacuation was a success, there is also a long history of not answering questions. you want to know about afghanistan? i would refer you to the defense department. you want to know about hunter biden? i would refer you to the justice department, which by the way would not talk anyway. you want to know about title 42 question i would refer you to the cdc. a large part of her job has been refusing to ask questions and referring the question or to some other part of the u.s. bureaucracy that won't answer the questions either. elizabeth: the thing is what's really happening now, byron you and i have been talking about this, it's really americans fee

tony blair wanted a raft and he got one.might be a future chancellor and even this chancellor will rein in mrjohnson's ambitions. there has been criticism that this does not do much for families struggling with energy bills. how far does this go to address that and also the issue of beating net zero targets? let also the issue of beating net zero tar: ets? ., ., also the issue of beating net zero taraets? . ~ , _, targets? let me take the second first. net zero, _ targets? let me take the second first. net zero, if _ targets? let me take the second first. net zero, if we _ targets? let me take the second first. net zero, if we have - targets? let me take the second | first. net zero, if we have nuclear power that does not emit substantial carbon dioxide, that helps with net zero. the new target for offshore wind will help with net zero. and an interesting addition, the government wants to support floating offshore wind that could be put off the west coast where the sea is deeper and still produce electricity from there. thes
