Transcripts
given this joint trip by Anthony blinkin
and David Lamy to Kiev today that this
might be shifting and they might be
listening a bit more particularly given
that uh Iran has now been sending
missiles for for Russia to use on on
their side now in the US presidential
debate overnight Donald Trump said that
if he was President Putin would never
have invaded Ukraine that the war would
never have happened on his watch KLA
Harris said that if he would been
president President Putin would
currently be sitting in keev well we're
talking about at the US's stance
currently of course the decision of Joe
Biden not Donald Trump and their stance
because Britain believes that the US
could allow Ukraine to use long range
Cruis missiles against Targets in Russia
within weeks the US Secretary of State
and David Lamy are foreign secretary are
traveling to Ukraine today for talks
over the use of weapons including
British made storm Shadow missiles this
really could be a a pivotal moment in
the war between Russia and Ukraine here
to go through the politics of the day is
the political correspondent Terry
Stasney Terry good morning good morning
RI there had obviously been lots of
nervousness over us granting Ukraine
permission to use these long-range
missiles inside Russia because fears of
an an escalation of the war what is the
current British
policy well uh so far what uh br Britain
and France have been relatively
sympathetic to uh the idea that Ukraine
should be able to use these Ukraine has
argued that they ought to be able to
attack targets within Russia things like
M missile launch sites for instance
particularly since uh Russians have been
revving up their attacks on on Ukrainian
territory um and cities at the moment
but basically um the US has said you
know we we're not agreeing with that yet
we don't want you to to let Ukraine use
use these missiles to attack targets
within Russia um but it does seem to be
that you know given this joint trip by
Anthony blinkin and David Lamy to Kev
today that this might be shifting and
they might be listening a bit more
particularly given that uh Iran has now
been sending missiles for for Russia to
use on on their side yeah where are we
getting these hints from that the US
might be changing
Tac well you know I think we saw you
know with Anthony blinkin visiting
London yesterday um he was asked about
this uh and they were saying that you
know he would look at it um and that uh
he would listen certainly to to Ukraine
on their on their visit there today so
you know presumably you know behind the
scenes these are the kinds of
discussions that are going on and we
know that there are big meetings coming
up obviously Kama going to to visit uh
Joe Biden uh we know that there'll be
the UN General Assembly coming up and
these tend kind of discussions tend to
be where International leaders get
together um and and try to persuade one
another yeah so zalinski David Lamy and
Anthony blink and the US um Secretary of
State they'll be talking about it today
what else is on the agenda then when our
prime minister meets President Joe Biden
on
Friday well obviously you know there a
lot of big International uh issues to to
be discussing you know presumably also
they will want to talk about the the
situation in the Middle East and we know
that there was some reservations on the
United States Parts uh about Britain not
wanting to uh allow certain armed sales
to Israel so that's probably um
something else that is is going to be
coming up I'm sure Ki starm would have
had a close eye on the debate as well
last night whether he stayed up to watch
it live I'm not sure he might watch the
edited highlights this morning let's
talk about um the political issues that
are more domestic actually and today
there's going to be what's called which
sounds very dramatic a fatal Motion in
the house of Lords explain what that is
it's all over the debate and the the
government Victory yesterday on uh
winter fuel
payments yes that's right this is
something that was put forward by um a
crossbench peer who's also a former
pensions Minister and a pensions expert
Ros ultman she tabled a motion that said
um the House of Commons basically
shouldn't go ahead with this winter fuel
payment cut and if she feels that it's a
bad policy the House of Lords I mean
they could only make the commons think
about about it again and you know this
is something that will be debated and no
doubt there'll be strong views expressed
but it's probably not something um that
will pass but it might be a way to gauge
the feeling in the House of Lords as
well as regards this The Cutting of the
winter fuel payment given um the
discussions in the Commons yesterday
yeah presumably the Lord sort of the day
after a Bill had been passed wouldn't
you know wouldn't kaiit at that point
well it's unlikely and yes again this is
um a crossbench pier and yes it is
somebody with a lot of expertise in in
the area of of Pensions and of of older
people and she may have you know quite a
bit of of sympathy on on both sides of
the House of Lords but uh as it's not
something you know that's been put
forward by the government this is
something again that's you know it's
unlikely uh it's unlikely to to pass but
it may be an indication of of the
feelings on on the red benches um 53
labor MPS
abstained it's difficult to get an
actual number but it looks about only 12
did so without permission one labor MP
voted against the government now
previously when this has happened over
Char benefit all those seven MPS who
rebelled and voted against lost the whip
do we know what might happen in this
case well yes this is um John tricket
who had been you know quite publicly
critical of this and he said after he uh
voted against the government that he
would um sleep well saying he'd done
this in good conscience and sleep well
knowing that he had voted to to defend
his constituents but what we don't know
is you know whether he slept well
knowing that he would lose the Whip or
not because yes as you say you know when
this happened uh in the debates on The
King's Speech um the labor whips were
quite quick to suspend the whip from
those other MPS um but we haven't heard
yet about whether that is is likely to
happen to John tricket as well okay so
we're waiting to see might be a
development on that today also finally
Terry mstrides
momentum saw him reach the final five
and no further in the Tory leadership
race He was largely expected to go out
wasn't he um so we now have a final four
who would you say are the favorites I'm
reading analysis that mri's exit there
might be a bit of a boost for Kem
Bok yeah possibly I mean I think the
badeo campaign are suggesting that
because she picked up uh six votes in
this last round that she's got momentum
now going forward but I think interest
if you look at the way the people the 16
conservative MPS who voted for Mel
stride in this last round it's possibly
more likely that those votes would go to
either James cleverly or Tom tugan hat
in the next round you sort of seeing it
break down into two of the further right
candidates if you like and two of the
more Centrist candidates going forward
so and you'll notice also that that
James cleverly and Tom tugan have been
very quick to to praise Mel stride and
thank him for his contribution which is
always a sign that you know they're
saying you know can and can we have some
of your votes now please so yeah we'll
be interesting to see where those votes
go uh after the Party Conference you are
so right we'll be watching closely Terry
thank you very much Terry sasne the
political correspondent rounding up uh
what has been a very busy 24 hours so uh
in British politics but of course uh
most of the drama most of the actions in
the theater of the debate the ABC
presidential debate that took place uh
probably while you were asleep in
Pennsylvania
