it is also obvious that uk and france stand together and this challenge that we have to face with thesing vladimir putin and russia, defending the interests of the people of ukraine. uk and france will stand together in this one of the political messages that president macron and the prime minister rishi sunak wanted to send. i'm joined now by mujtaba rahman, europe managing director at the eurosia group. what are your thoughts on this because both rishi sunak and president macron, were talking about a new era in things have been quite rocky since brexit and this seemed determined to have a new start. i think that is right. if you think about the aftermath of brexit and the entire continent, the link that is been the most strained is the bilateral uk france one. i think that as a consequence of the perception of borisjohnson and they really didn't like him they believed it was a liar and an trustworthy and liz truss short tenure and power was marked by economic chaos and that raised a lot of eyebrows and parents in different parts of the government andindeed in different parts of the

how would you describe the nature of relations between the uk and france? oment, but generally, after the uk left the european union, a lot of the european union, a lot of the platforms and forums in which france and the uk would normally discuss things obviously are not available anymore, and i think part of the story is simply that it takes time for some new forums to merge, new ways of communicating on a political level. you would expect maybe this meeting to be one such sort of, like you said, one new forum being opened and some of theseissues forum being opened and some of these issues you mentioned that can be discussed. these summits have a reputation for being long on flag—waving and short on binding provisions. where might we see serious agreement and progress? everyone is going to be looking for some kind of deal may be on migrants. it helps a lot that the uk and the eu havejust struck a new or thought of revamped brexit deal which at least sold the northern ireland problems, so they should agree on that, so obviously the migrant challenge, in term

world powers, particularly the us, the uk, france and germany are working together. to stay within that nuclear agreement and if not, if they decide to pull out, then all those international sanctions against iran will be reimposed back on iran. that is pretty serious a development iran is in breach and not only that, there is also a question of the iaea finding traces of radioactive material in three places in iran that iran had not declared before. the iaea has found that want iran to explain how traces of radioactive substance found its way into these places? iran hasn't answered that and that is another issue that is outstanding between iran and the iaea. the daily telegraph has published more leaked whatsapp messages about the former health secretary, matt hancock. they appear to show that mr hancock and his staff agonised for hours over whether or not he broke covid guidance when he kissed his aide. mr hancock also criticises the then chancellor's eat 0ut to help 0ut scheme. the revelations come as mps investigating the conduct of the former prime minister bori

france says, hang on a minute, we would want an eu—uk returns agreement.ve that too but it's much more complicated to negotiate and it wants to see some progress now. the uk thinks what it has done recently has been good value for money. the problem is, once they can point to successes in stopping lots of attempted crossings, the figures are still shooting up and up and up. so i suspect we won't get some massive breakthrough at the summit in paris, but something that allows them to say they are carrying on making progress and they are going to carry on talking. right, let's make some progress now and chat to gillian keegan, the education secretary, who is here. hello! hello adam, hello chris. and i think you used to listen to this podcast before you were too busy for podcasts? i always listen to it. still now? i record it and i watch it as well. wow. 0k. what do you have to drink while you're watching us? a glass of white wine, it's required. big, large, small? just a little one. 0k, loads of things we could ask you about. so bridget phillipson, your oppos

so migration and the channel is a bilateral problem between uk and france . problem between uk and francession, but other subject of far more important than this one. so what all those far more important and subjects that macron will be wanting to speak to rishi sunak about as you know, there was very few discussion with the two prime minister prior to the current one, mainly on the relation with the european community, and that's why probably president might call push forward the ideas of europe, european enlargement, not really enlargement, but the different world having relation with the european community and i guess that there was a meeting in prague on that subject and uk was present and that was important. the other subject you're talking to the general, is the defence subject. we are currently supporting in the ukraine in in the east of europe and the uk. so on the forefront of the support and france will try to support and we have to coordinate our support to ukraine, but also to prepare our role nato in order to prepare if there is a something else after ukraine, what do you exp

between france, between the uk and, the eu, the dublin convention. um in france and tries claim asylum in the uk will be sent back. now, if we have that type of agreement that france agrees that if anybody comes on small boats will get sent back. why would you set off from france if you know that you're going to be sent to france, if you across, why would you set off think that the french would be up for creating similar agreement even outside fact that we're not within the eu because that would be good for them as. within the eu because that would be good for them as . well it be good for them as. well it would away the draw would take away the draw to their borders i'm wondering their borders so i'm wondering why what they are sort of why they what they are sort of skirting around the edges and coming it money coming out is it the money do you france has shown you think? look france has shown that it hasn't protect at its border. we've seen french police officers ushering onto the boat. you've seen those images . the you've seen those images. the de

more than 115,000 people entered the uk via channel crossings last year. let's get the view from francechannel port of calais — a place where tens of thousands of migrants have gathered over the past few years, trying to cross to the uk. news of the government's new policy trickles through camps in northern france here. there's a sense that it's not in and of itself going to slow the flow across the channel. policy announcements by themselves have not tended to change many minds here. if you think back to the rwanda policy, when that was announced, there was a few days when many migrants here were considering whether it was worth it. there was a little bit of anxiety, but it passed pretty quickly, particularly when there were no concrete measures taken. and i think this raises the question of how the government is going to implement this new policy, particularly when it comes to removing people from the uk when they land on those shores. the rwanda policy is still mired in the courts and france has so far been adamant that it won't take back migrants who return from the uk, at least not
