Government shutdown could last for years, says Trump
We just completed a lengthy and sometimes contentious conversation with the president. We agreed that we will continue our conversations but we all recogn … We recognise on the Democratic side that we really cannot resolve this until we open up government and we made that very clear to the president. So we told the…
Boris Johnson’s record of lying makes him unfit to be PM, says Chuka Umunna
Your personal criticism of Boris Johnson is quite tough. You’re not only linking him to this right wing group of people but you’re saying that he is not honest and things like that. Do you think as a personality he’s fit to be in number 10 and do you think this is an issue that…
‘It’s not the government’: Priti Patel says poverty is not Westminster’s fault
– Four out of 10 children in parts of Barrow are born into poverty. That’s not good enough is it? Well it’s appalling and of course, but everybody, and it’s not just people in Westminster. It’s not just at national level, it’s at local level through the investment. – It’s the government and you’re had nearly ten…
Nicola Sturgeon: ‘this government and the path it’s pursuing is dangerous’
Well, behind all the bluff and bluster, this government and the path it is pursuing, I think, is dangerous. It became clear to me that this government, the new prime minister, has set the UK on an almost inevitable path to a no-deal brexit, the position it has taken. It makes it very difficult to…
Corbyn: Labour would ‘sort’ Brexit quicker than Tories

So, the failure to do so, I’m sorry, can only be his, Boris Johnson’s failure. The irony is, for all…
Hillary Clinton ‘dumbfounded’ UK government won’t release report on Russian influence
I’m dumbfounded that this government won’t release the report about Russian influence because every person who votes in this country deserves to see that report before your election happens. That should be an absolute condition because there is no doubt, we know it in our country, we have seen it in Europe, we have seen…
Grenfell fire victims lacked common sense, Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests
There have been suggestions that, in part, the tragedy was caused by either racism or policies of class. Are these suggestions correct? – I don’t think so. I think the tragedy came about because of the cladding, leading to the fire racing up the building and then was compounded by the stay put policy. It…
Nanfu Wang on Growing Up With China’s One Child Policy & State Propaganda | Close Up
(soft music) – I’d like to start with talking about choosing your subject. You guys are gonna spend years sometimes with these people and these topics. How do you decide what to do? Nanfu why don’t you begin? – Well first that was actually a challenge because our subject was the one child policy and…
‘We cannot be radical enough’: David Attenborough urges action on climate emergency
The government have accepted the 2050 target. There are other organisations, which are urging us to go a lost faster, to 2025. Do you think those, that 2025 target would be realistic? Or do you think the 2050 figure is much more realistic? – I don’t know. In a way, I would think that that…
