mccaffrey, thank you for joining tightrope, but darren mccaffrey, thank you forjoining us live thank you for joining us live from downing street. there one of the challenges that rishi sunak will be facing, of course, may come from in his own party. and what do i mean by that ? and what do i mean by that? well, boris johnson is in the united states . you've followed united states. you've followed him on twitter. you might scarce believe he's stopped being prime minister this week . believe he's stopped being prime minister this week. he's believe he's stopped being prime minister this week . he's been minister this week. he's been meeting with officials from the ukrainian ambassador to the senate, republican mitch mcconnell. he met with the of the house kevin mccarthy , former the house kevin mccarthy, former speaker newt gingrich , the speaker newt gingrich, the republican study committee , as republican study committee, as well as a host of congresspeople and senators. he's appeared on fox news and abc news. he's been making the case for ukraine throughout all speaking with these p

now let's cross to our political cross back to our political darren mccaffrey still in westminster for us. is anything changed in the last 5 minutes, darren? i know i'm surprised each time it hasn't. although we have had a tweet from dean said, i tell you what got to say, and she, of course, being the former secretary state at dcms, it's the department for culture, media and sports. it's saying that she reckons the department works and that it's tragically lost profile of late despite being the effective in whitehall track record. she says in technology, digital gigabit rollout, telecoms data speaks for itself. this obviously on the back of we're expecting department to lose at least one element that is the digital element that is the digital element of its remit . she says element of its remit. she says that it's like cummings dominic cummings has never left . i think cummings has never left. i think so to say. nadine dorries has been slightly better since the removal of boris johnson, but she's not happy about some of the changes this morning. i think it does kind of bleed into the w

we want to bring in retired four star -- msnbc military analyst darren mccaffrey. mccaffrey, it is a pleasure. let's talk about what the military used here bringing this thing down. we are talking about an f 22 f-15 eagle, a destroyer, a cruiser, an amphibious landing ship, multiple midair -- refueling tankers from as far away as oregon. you think about this mission, the fact that the president gave the orders on wednesday, they wanted to wait until he was in a safe area to take it down. that was when it was over water. four days later, what do you make of? >> quite the entertainment value. the most obvious thing that worked was the u.s. air force had 22, one of them fired. i had a tory hill in the cockpit of an f 20 to a few years back. it's probably the preeminent aircraft in the world today even though it's an old one. it has the capability of 1500 mile an hour speed, 1900 mile range, and unveiled a balloon with a nine x missile, and personally. all this is run out of one of the 11 combatant commanders, joint command in colorado, northcom, which in turn commands

darren mccaffrey . gb path is. darren mccaffrey. gb news suffered a mixed bag result there from dominic. let's get there from dominic. let's get the views of our political correspondent tom harwood. how would you assess his first 100 days? well, it's very tricky because, of course, he inherited a for the a very sticky wicket for the conservative party. many conservatives believed that replacing yet another prime minister would have them soaring in the polls, would stabilise things back to where they were before the summer. and yet that hasn't really happened. we've seen this enormous gulf in the polls being really quite remarkably steady . and it is remarkably steady. and it is interesting how when boris johnson was sort of forced out, there was a single digit gulf in those polls that is now really below round into this more than double digit, two times double digit gulf in those polls. double digit, two times double digit gulf in those polls . and digit gulf in those polls. and it hasn't really made that big an impact in terms of c

darren mccaffrey thanks for joining us there from. east london, where keir starmer has speaking this morning. of course, sir keir starmer did serve in jeremy corbyn's shadow cabinet. he makes the argument he was making the case the inside. we the case from the inside. we didn't hear much him on didn't hear much about him on the outside through those years. but moving on, the united kingdom's maritime rescue services were being warned they're likely to see migrant crossings over a much wider stretch of southern coastline in the year ahead. gb news can reveal that people smugglers are increase english, launching small boats, much further south along the french coast to try and avoid robust police patrols around calais and dunkirk. are home and security editor mark white has this exclusive report . bracing out from the french caused a local lifeboat crew responding to reports of a small migrant in difficulties. but this incident also involving a french border patrol vessel is far away from the usual small boat routes out of dunkirk and c

it's a darren mccaffrey joins us this morning from edinburgh. good morning, darren. what's the reaction to this shock, reaction been to this shock, resignation ? yeah it really did resignation? yeah it really did come as a surprise, not just to politicians down in london, but indeedit politicians down in london, but indeed it must be said, i think to people here in scotland as well. yes, there was a sense we're moving into the end of the nicholas sturgeon era , but the nicholas sturgeon era, but the expectation might come expectation was that might come at the next westminster elections, hollyrood elections, the next hollyrood elections, the next hollyrood elections, and not as soon as yesterday . and i think the big yesterday. and i think the big questions this morning are about a who takes over these posts. there's lots of names being bandied around, kate forbes, who's the finance secretary, for example , angus robinson, who was example, angus robinson, who was the leader of the snp in westminster for a period of time. he seems to be the favourite at the moment. an

we begin our programme with the work of a gb news colleague and friend of mine, darren mccaffrey, who's been talking to james, the foreign secretary . here's that secretary. here's that conversation. foreign secretary i suppose, first of all, the question is one year into this , question is one year into this, let's talk about the british pubuc. let's talk about the british public. should let's talk about the british public . should they be braced public. should they be braced for conflict that potentially could go on not just for the next year, but years and years to come.7 well, of course, what we want is for this to come to a conclusion quickly. we're seeing tens, hundreds of thousands of people dead and wounded. we're seeing huge damage . ukrainian seeing huge damage. ukrainian infrastructure . we're seeing infrastructure. we're seeing disruption to energy supplies, food supplies. so all of us want this to come to a conclusion , this to come to a conclusion, but it has to be a conclusion that respects the charter of this place, the un charter, which basically says you can't invade n

thank you so much, darren darren mccaffrey . guest darren mccaffrey. my guest is still here. listed at it's still here. some listed at it's a daily express editor and former labour mp pound. right. i always get very moved talking to these farmers, you know, because you see those beautiful shots of our countryside and how important it is and how much we need them. and it feels like they're constantly neglected, doesn't it seem? and britain's battered by brexit fallout and rising costs, say their union, the press today. what are your thoughts? yeah, i thought i thoughts? yeah, i thought i thought it was really interesting interview with gareth and i think he makes the point which is cheap food comes a cost and as a nation we have to decide what's more important is it cheap food or is it local food and often you can't have both and obviously with part of the kind of bonus of brexit for many people is that you can go and negotiate new trade deals with australia, new zealand, places like that obviously what these nations what the prices for that is to have

but let's speak to our political editor, darren mccaffrey, westminster mccaffrey, who is in westminster darren. i remember not so long ago , you and i, you were glued ago, you and i, you were glued to the steps of downing street as rishi announced his first cabinet. now not cabinet. now well, not all change, lot change. change, but quite a lot change. what's going on? yeah. and in some ways, actually, it's more change around departments or structures and the structures within government, the really the personal life. in fact, what's most interesting about today that no one's been today is that no one's been sacked . rishi sunak's job sacked. rishi sunak's job creation. or moving creation. if like or moving shuffling people around . what is shuffling people around. what is also is that dominic raab, the current justice secretary and, deputy prime minister, remains in post much speculation about his future given that inquiry. but it's clear that rishi sunak wants to hold on to him until that inquiry wraps up. when we find out, of course , allegations find out, of course, allegations of bu

let's get more outside that hotel in windsor with darren mccaffrey , windsor with darren mccaffrey, who's been updating us on this historic occasion. and it's been described as final talks, darren, but we think there's much yet to sort out or is this a done deal once she stepped off that eurostar this morning . yeah that eurostar this morning. yeah i'm pretty sure it was a done deal i'm pretty sure it was a done deal. i think it was a done deal last week to a large degree mark. today is in many when it comes to at least the eu about choreography. now interesting. what's different i suppose, about turn of brexit negotiations . but what we've negotiations. but what we've seen in the past and mike were you and i and others reported a lot of this. it's two things. first of all, the actually the negotiations with the eu seem to have been the kind of relatively easy bit of this process. in essence , there was an acceptance essence, there was an acceptance by dublin and brussels that the protocol in its current form wasn't really working and possibly that they went a little too far in the initia

our political editor, darren mccaffrey is following developments and darren, quite a lot of change ahead, a bit of remodel ing. just what does this mean for government? take us through it . yeah. know, this is through it. yeah. know, this is not just about superficial change. it's about the prime minister trying show where his priorities now lie . energy priorities now lie. energy security been welcomed by many across the board, even within the labour party. there's going to be a focus on this. now with grant shapps taking over that department. but also a focus on science. so we know the prime minister has made a point time and time again about trying to make the uk a science powerhouse and the great challenge he takes over from the nadhim zahawi mind upon here he's seen as a safe pair hands someone who is pair of hands and someone who is a campaigner. frankly, a good campaigner. frankly, the conservative could do at conservative party could do at the moment, given the positions in the big question, in the polls. the big question, though is how much will this though, is how much will thi

so let's get more analysis gb news analysis of this from gb news political darren mccaffrey hello , darren. hello. there you are. outside number 10 downing street now , is this another witch hunt now, is this another witch hunt to make the conservative party look bad or is there more to this story ? well, let's be this story? well, let's be honest and frank about this. these allegations revolving around dominic raab have been around dominic raab have been around for a time, years and years and years. and actually he took a libel case. i was just reading this this morning in the end of may, a lot of libel case, but more than a decade ago, there were allegations around bullying around dominic raab when he was an mp. now he's always denied this. as i say , always denied this. as i say, obviously the government are looking into evidence is an independent inquiry taking place into it and it's difficult to work this out. you listen to some people who've worked with the justice secretary, deputy prime in his various guises in government is someone who's of course been brexit in the past. he's als

joining me now is gb news political editor darren mccaffrey. he's all way hollyrood he hot buttered it up for didn't do that. we go darren. great to see. okay. so nicholas sturgeon saying is not down short term pressures and down to short term pressures and issues and controversy is what issues and controversy is what is to they really . well, is it to they really. well, i think you know what there's a word, patrick, the people in scotland use, people like me from northern ireland use as well which is she seconded ? well which is she seconded? she's fed up. she's of had enough, if you like . and that enough, if you like. and that is, i think in part must be to some of those short term issues, particularly around the trans issue and she is dealt with. i don't think there is any doubt, despite denial that has expanded at this decision of to her step down. but you know, you look at where she's at, you know, ultimately she's been in the for job ten years, essentially the economy is pretty stagnant , the economy is pretty stagnant, the clean up bein

if i darren mccaffrey popped on mccaffrey he's just popped up on our screens of political we've been trying get ahold of been trying to get ahold of durham last hour so durham for the last hour so would to actually talk would be nice to actually talk to at point but darren to him at some point but darren mccaffrey his way out mccaffrey making his way out with other in with all the other bigwigs in political journalists. can political journalists. you can see quite a few people that ursula von der leyen be ursula von der leyen will be coming will be as well coming out, will be as well going king and going to meet the king and people saying, has the people saying, why has the king got in this? got involved in all of this? just to return to a couple of the points i was making earlier on, which is that he's basically trying that the trying to emphasise that the deal that got at the deal that he's got at the moment. will better for moment. he will be better for your man woman in your average common man woman in northern ireland. and i think they're to the they're trying to swerve the pell

us speak our political editor darren mccaffrey who's in belfast for us. and dan we've also got an indication that another video conference taking place with the foreign secretary northern ireland secretary and european commissioner indications perhaps they're still to find a way through this . yeah, i think through this. yeah, i think there are kind of two tracks, if you like, to all of this, mark. first of all, there are those continued negotiations with the european union. i think we've got outline of a deal. got the outline of a deal. clearly we got the clearly we haven't got the detail of that . but rishi detail of what that. but rishi sunak have here sunak would not have come here to belfast week. i met with to belfast last week. i met with political leaders, didn't political leaders, if you didn't think was pretty close. think a deal was pretty close. so negotiations still so those negotiations are still continuing . see, i think they continuing. see, i think they can eke out a few more concessions from the european union. as you say, the foreign se

let's get more from edinburgh with our political editor, darren mccaffrey . with down in the mccaffrey. with down in the leadership election gun being fired , it seems at this meeting fired, it seems at this meeting it 630. but the bigger question about what they do about independence and on that matters stephen flynn, who's the leader of the party in westminster, saying, let's hold on a minute and that's actually decide where we're going to go first. yeah, really fascinating, mark, isn't it? these big add ons put, what, literally 24 hours ago all the attention on nicholas sturgeon resigning . attention on nicholas sturgeon resigning. but as attention on nicholas sturgeon resigning . but as always, with resigning. but as always, with the way with politics is that the way with politics is that the attention is on who's going to take over next. and those big questions about what does it mean for the snp, what does it mean for the snp, what does it mean for the snp, what does it mean for scottish independence and it mean for and indeed what does it mean for the

it is the next 100 days that will determine just how narrow path is darren mccaffrey . gb news. well, let's get more now with who? who's in downing street for ? us and dan, as you street for? us and dan, as you indicated, we had this attempt from to set out a political back in january , the sort of five in january, the sort of five points. but of course since then he's just had to do this fiery yeah it has seemed to be one scandal after another suddenly rishi sunak frankly, of course would not have wanted. we've been weeks talking about nadhim zahawi and his tax affairs and now it's much onto dominic raab and those of bullying allegations he has consistently denied. but of only growing louder. i would say in the last couple of months. they date back years when he's been brexit foreign secretary and justice secretary and. this is tricky for rishi sunak's least of all because he is his deputy is deputy prime, someone who's very very close to the prime. he headed up his leadership campaign during the summer and there are growing calls from within and outside the conservative party

he was interviewed about it by the gb news political editor darren mccaffrey is part of the political pull part . then the political pull part. then the next it was right. then a couple of hours later, his spokesperson did tell political journalists, oh no, this wasn't approved by the prime minister , but it feels the prime minister, but it feels very fishy. the attendance of gove. very fishy. the attendance of gove . it feels very fishy. gove. it feels very fishy. i mean, you know , one can't help mean, you know, one can't help it in my gove in some ways he's a clever chap and he's not, he's done some good things. but as i said in my piece, if you were crossing the sahara desert with one water bottle, would you choose give us your companion. you mean, you he's you would mean, you know, he's not he's not is clever but is sinuous is serpentine . i sinuous is serpentine. i wouldn't go so far as to say he's untrustworthy, but he's presence there. it was at the very least, it was incredibly unwise . what was he doing there unwise. what was he doing there in a secret with a lot of remainer

i think we've got darren mccaffrey, our political diaries in new york with secretary, with the foreign secretary, darren down. good to have you . darren down. good to have you. and what's the foreign secretary going to say ? yeah, good going to say? yeah, good afternoon, andrew. from a glorious york this morning as it here, james lafferty flew over last night. there was a special meeting of the united nations in which actually the un yet again much overwhelmingly condemns the actions of russia and ukraine calling for a halt to the fighting. 141 countries back that resolution . welcome news, that resolution. welcome news, of course, for there were some abstentions mostly from places like india, china and south africa and, seven countries that object to that resolution unsurprisingly russia. but the other list all those on the periphery of society such as nonh periphery of society such as north korea, syria, eritrea . i north korea, syria, eritrea. i think james cleverly is quite pleased this though, because there had been a sense, as you guys have just been talking about, that we're one

and editor, darren mccaffrey. and darren, one would imagine that the prime minister is waking up pretty chipper in belfast where you are this morning. but still a work do for him. a bit of work to do for him. yeah, chipper indeed. in many regards, you look at the front pages of many of today's newspapers and don't think the newspapers and i don't think the prime at this stage prime minister at this stage could have asked for any better headunes could have asked for any better headlines the time, saying headlines at the time, saying brexit breakthrough. the daily mail has rishi done the mail saying, has rishi done the impulse bill and the daily telegraph saying it is arguably yesterday rishi sunak's best day yet as prime minister. really quite extraordinary stuff in terms of those headlines. but you're also right in saying that the work is not yet done. and the work is not yet done. and the reason i say that is because there are still massive concerns amongst unionists here in northern ireland. no notably the dup w

they're to talking darren mccaffrey in cornwall. everyone's in cornwall this morning. are they ? joanna this morning. are they? joanna williams i was sitting there, listened to him banging on about the family hub and how this is going to save family. it used to be called the sure start programme, didn't it? i can see no difference in what he's announcing. not. i announcing. absolutely not. i mean, completely mean, i completely agree and this embarrassing , it this is a bit embarrassing, it seems because we just seems to me, because we just keep reinventing wheel in keep on reinventing the wheel in this what's with this country. what's wrong with us? mean, three children us? i mean, three children myself. i speak from perth. myself. i can speak from perth. thanks say that thanks parents say that childcare nominally childcare is for a nominally expensive . i think we've got expensive. i think we've got like the second most expensive nursery provision of all the countries in europe . so like countries in europe. so like make cheaper. yeah. don't go make it cheaper. yeah. don't go ar

we can speak news, his political speak to gb news, his political darren mccaffrey. darren, thank you very much. i mean, really , you very much. i mean, really, sunak appears to be doing a bit of a bit of a merry jig, doesn't he? yeah been on a sales tour, if you like , to a large degree. if you like, to a large degree. patrick. who's what wins it this time yesterday in parliament last night, now in belfast today. looking how it's today. and looking how it's going so far looking at the front of the newspapers today that reaction from mps, even with his own party last night, the sdlp it seems to go pretty well. it was the same in here today when was talking to today when he was talking to business leaders the business leaders who on the whole really whole seems to really, really have actually welcomed this deal . so all in all, i think he's a pretty happy chap when . it pretty happy chap when. it comes. he said he was all over the moon. this morning, patrick. in reaction to his deal he got with the eu. however, and there is a big in this the dup are not necessarily co

good morning, darren mccaffrey. good morning, daryn. what's daryn. good morning. what's suella saying? suella braverman been saying? she's article about she's written an article about this laying out her ambition. it's quite, quite feisty stuff isn't it? yeah, it is. and in fact, actually, for the first time, this is going to be viewed essentially as a national threat, fundamentally domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonestentally domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about this. estic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about this. she. let's be honest about this. she talked about 2.4 million people being affected this year. being affected this every year. let's be honest, it is majority , a vast majority, women . yes, , a vast majority, women. yes, two thirds. interestingly i mean, that's not to downplay the fact that domestic violence does happen to it literally could be any one. so it is primarily women who suffer most from

our political editor darren mccaffrey quitting sir jeffrey donaldson there. but of course, there are others. ian paisley , there are others. ian paisley, who aren't quite so enamoured of it , is ian who aren't quite so enamoured of it, is ian paisley and perhaps wilson, you know, a lone voice within the dup at the moment. i would suggest rogue voices . mark would suggest rogue voices. mark instead. i don't think they would have any problem . me would have any problem. me calling slightly rogue mp in the sense that they are very independently minded to speak their minds over very quickly off or quick off the block. last night they think night that they didn't think this deal cut the mustard ball. i would say all honesty the person that you probably to listen little more listen to a little more carefully is sir jeffrey donaldson, leader the donaldson, the leader of the dup. was radio dup. now, he was on the radio this morning essentially all arguing, if you like, that progress is being made significant progress. and it looks at this stallman break could be a th

but head now to but let's head now to westminster editor darren mccaffrey feet waiting for us. and darren what what an occasion with as we were saying with with cameron these lessons of history that zelenskyy was pointing out all the time in this very image of him sitting in churchill's armchair in the cabinet war rooms . yeah, quite the moment to rooms. yeah, quite the moment to be actually westminster hall mark to that speech alongside my lovely colleagues but obviously members from across both the house of commons , the house of house of commons, the house of lords and parliamentary staff, well, the hall itself was rammed clearly president zelenskyy received rapturous runs of applause not just before and that speech, but constantly throughout that speech, talking and praising britain's role right from the start this war began.in right from the start this war began. in fact , supplying, began. in fact, supplying, training , weapons. a personal training, weapons. a personal thanks to rishi sunak, but also to the former prime minister, bofis to the former prime minister, boris

thank you very much, darren mccaffrey. and we will going back new york will be going back to new york in while , however long it takes in while, however long it takes for james cleverly to graces with there. but with his presence there. but we're turning now to war in ukraine. many are wondering what russian leaders ultimately aim is what is putin's end game . is what is putin's end game. okay. now, having launched the war this time last year, many people expected kyiv to fall within weeks . but it turned out within weeks. but it turned out very differently, it ? so very differently, didn't it? so what are putin's strategic aims for 2023? and this really ties into something that i think is a core theme in the inbox and a big one for you guys. a lot of you think that we should just keep ploughing infinite resources of money, etc. etc. into ukraine so that we stop. he's in his tracks because if we don't stop him at ukraine, then in lot of people's view he'll just roll on the way through europe and before we know it, it'll be

also darren mccaffrey, who's also following today's session . we following today's session. we were just discussing an interesting that again, keir starmer didn't go and perhaps what have been the obvious what would have been the obvious platform of today's strike action . yeah, interest and action. yeah, interest and indeed a proper thing today though in many regards . mark, though in many regards. mark, wasn't there and just on that note about why i'm so going to put on my earpiece because i hear myself back in my ear, which is never good. so i think in ways, mark, what i would say is the reason he didn't go on strike for a large degree is i think in some because they've already gone through this debate time and time again , this is not time and time again, this is not the first day strike action, the first day of strike action, though a pretty big one. though it is a pretty big one. there was a march not terribly far away from me here in westminster. thousands, tens of thousands that thousands of people on that march. think second of march. a
