The british Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak Has said he is acutely aware of the threat to our open and democratic way of life posed by chinas communist regime. The Prime Minister was responding to a damning report on the uks china strategy by parliaments intelligence and security committee. Ministers he said would take all necessary steps to protect the country from foreign state activity. He is facing calls from some tories to officially classify china a threat which he has resisted so far, instead describing china as this Epoch Defining Challenge while insisting the uk needs to stay engaged. Lets hearfrom professorjinghan zeng, professor of china and International Studies at university of lancaster. Good to have you with us, would you agree with the committees finding that there is not a coherent strategy as of yet . That there is not a coherent strategy as of yet . Yes, i think you wouldnt find strategy as of yet . Yes, i think you wouldnt find a strategy as of yet . Yes, i think you wouldnt find a coherent strategy. Wouldnt find a coherent strategy around china, but if you put in perspective, does any country have a Coherence Tragedy at all, given the size of china . I think when you are dealing with major like china and the us, its difficult to have Coherence Tragedy. A few years ago, nobody knew there would be a war in ukraine or about covid. So its a bit unrealistic to imagine a coherent and consistent Foreign Policy strategy. Its coherent and consistent Foreign Policy strategy. Its multifaceted, the threat is policy strategy. Its multifaceted, the threat is not policy strategy. Its multifaceted, the threat is notjust policy strategy. Its multifaceted, the threat is notjust within policy strategy. Its multifaceted, the threat is notjust within the l the threat is notjust within the parliamentary lobbies, its in every element of business, in universities but dont you need to produce a strategy where, on every strada of british democracy, you are at least aware of the threat and issuing guidelines so people are aware of it . , ~ it . Definitely, ithink for government it . Definitely, i think for. Government coordination, it . Definitely, i think for government coordination, you it . Definitely, i think for government coordination, you would be better if you have a more coherent strategy to co ordinate between departments. Currently that department have been speaking in different voices across china, because china was not important in the past, because of the past few years, and also because the you uk was a little bit far from years, and also because the you uk was a little bit farfrom china. But looking at the macro context, a superpower like china will have the influence in a different kind of agenda. Its really difficult to have a coherent strategy to deal with them, and i think that something you have to accept. You haveit something you have to accept. You have it now, and a few years later it can easily fade away. Have it now, and a few years later it can easily fade away. What about the Prime Ministers it can easily fade away.

I dont see much impact of that, and we have to realise that the uk, although in the past was a superpower, no longer remains a major player in the world. So its not something china is not relevant to the uk. It was more about the us, the uk and eu, it wouldnt be allowed to change. Wouldnt be allowed to change. Wouldnt be allowed to change. Wouldnt be able to change chinas behaviour at a macro level. Behaviour at a macro level. Thank ou for behaviour at a macro level. Thank you for your behaviour at a macro level.

Heres a good example, from 2004 caught on video by two pilots from the us navy. What they filmed was a round object hovering above the water about 100 miles into the pacific ocean. This is another incident from 2021 an American Airlines pilot flying between cincinnati and phoenix, saw a long cylindrical object that looked like a Cruise Missile moving at high speeds in front of him. Well today, nasa revealed they have appointed a new director of research into what they call unidentified anomalous phenomenon. So get used to saying uap instead of ufo. As part of a year long study, they say have not yet uncovered any evidence of an extra terrestrial origin, but they are open to the idea. Whats important they say, is that we move from conspiracy and Sensationalism To Science and they have pledged to continue this research in a more transparent fashion. Lets hearfrom drjeni millard, extragalactic astronomer. Many of you will be familiar with her, nice to have you on the programme this evening. This is slightly the problem, if you said youd heads seen Something Like this, you wouldve been dismissed as a Conspiracy Theorist which is why many of these Sightings Go Unreported. Many of these Sightings Go Unreported many of these sightings go unre orted. ,. ,. , many of these sightings go unreorted. ,. , unreported. Exactly, and nasa want to move away unreported. Exactly, and nasa want to move away from unreported. Exactly, and nasa want to move away from conspiracy to move away from Conspiracy Theories and sensationalism, as you said, and really start getting into the science. So treating them not as ufos, theres new terminology to move away from the conspiracy theory, so uaps, and using science, satellites monitoring the earth to figure out what these strange things our people are seeing, collecting lots of evidence from lots of people as well, so theyre talking about developing apps where people can submit their sightings. Developing apps where people can submit theirsightings. If developing apps where people can submit their sightings. If we have multiple sightings of the same thing, taking different angles and good quality imagery, as well, nothing grainy and awful to try and analyse, then we can figure out what these things are. Because putting aliens to one side for a minute, it is important for us to understand what these things are in the sky because they could spell disaster for aviation. So even just from that road, its important we nail down what uaps actually are. So road, its important we nail down what uaps actually are. Road, its important we nail down what uaps actually are. So they want us to be transparent, what uaps actually are. So they want us to be transparent, and what uaps actually are. So they want us to be transparent, and they what uaps actually are. So they want us to be transparent, and they say i us to be transparent, and they say theyll be transparent, but they wont tell us who their new director is why not . I wont tell us who their new director is why not . Is why not . I think that comes from a safety is why not . I think that comes from a Safety Perspective is why not . I think that comes l from a Safety Perspective because is why not . I think that comes from a Safety Perspective because at the moment, there are so many problems when it comes to Ufo Reporting sent things and people can be stigmatized. So at the minute they are just trying to protect the identity of the people involved, and maybe over time as we transition away from Conspiracy Theories towards more science, then that transparency will come. It cant change overnight but i think proposals in this report are really interesting to take us into the realm of science. [30 interesting to take us into the realm of science. Interesting to take us into the realm of science. Do you think theres been realm of science. Do you think theres been a realm of science. Do you think theres been a Changing Realm of science. Do you thinkl theres been a changing culture realm of science. Do you think theres been a changing culture when it comes to discussing this issue . Because weve already had a congressional hearing this year, weve heard evidence from various people, whether or not theres any facts behind when they put forward is open to debate. But the very discussion of it is new because in years gone by, it was a classified issue which the American Government never wanted to talk about. Yes. Issue which the American Government never wanted to talk about. Never wanted to talk about. Yes, and if it ever was never wanted to talk about. Yes, and if it ever was talked about, never wanted to talk about. Yes, and if it ever was talked about, it never wanted to talk about. Yes, and if it ever was talked about, it was if it ever was talked about, it was people who were dubbed crazy and mad, and really off the wall. There is something to be said there are strange things in the sky, and most times they can be explained by atmospheric phenomenon or its a weather balloon, or an aircraft. But sometimes there are things that are as yet unexplained. So now we are trying to open this narrative, hopefully it will lead to new interesting science, as well, and will solve some mysteries. It would be great to actually start treating this a little bit more seriously. 0ne this a little bit more seriously. One of the things they said today was that they would be able to use Artificial Intelligence to help with research in what way . Artificial intelligence to help with research in what way . Artificial Intelligence Research in what way . Artificial intelligence and research in what way . Artificial intelligence and Computer Research in what way . Artificial i intelligence and Computer Learning are great tools we have in analysing data. So when they try to get people on board with submitting things to apps, there could be Tens Of Thousands of submissions every day when this is up and running. You cant have human eyes on that, so what we do is use computers who have been trained by people, they sift through it as much as possible and presented to human eyes. It allows us to analyse greater amounts of data and really do a lot more science. � , data and really do a lot more science. � ,. , science. And they did say today they would tie up science. And they did say today they would tie up with science. And they did say today they would tie up with the science. And they did say today they would tie up with the pentagon science.

The bbc has denied that singer Roisin Murphys recent comments on Puberty Blockers was not the reason she was removed from a scheduled programme on its 6 music, radio station. The former moloko singer courted controversy last month when she posted on facebook that Puberty Blockers were desolate, adding that big pharma was laughing all the way to the bank. The singer later apologised. But, contrary to reports she was removed, the bbc said there was no ban, it was entirely a scheduling issue, and Roisin Murphys music remains on rotation. The thing is, its not the first time an artist has been forced to apologise for her thoughts, in fear of being cancelled. And it is a wider issue that alarms many in The World Of Art and publishing. Is there, in british and american culture, a rising, left wing I Lliberalism that threatens our Freedom Of Thought and expression . Pen america thinks so which is interesting, because in the United States, they are a major promoter of literature and poetry would most likely define themselves as liberal. They have just written a report called booklash literary freedom, 0nline 0utrage, and the language of harm. And they say a growing problem with online hate campaigns directed at books which is problematic. One example they cite, the author Elizabeth Gilbert, writer of eat, pray, love. Her next book, the snow forest, which was due out next year, was pilloried on line because it is set in russia. Its actually about a soviet family fleeing religious persecution. But so intense was the book lash, that injune, she said she was indefinitely removing the book from its publication schedule. With us tonight cathy young, author at the bulwork, who wrote the piece that stirred my interest for the the bulwark, the book banners on the left. And also ernest 0wens, Political Writer at large for philadelphia magazine. He has recently published a book called the case for cancel culture how this democratic tool works to liberate us all. Does it liberate us all . I read these examples and i fear that the space for freedom and thought of expression is drinking in front of us. �. , ~ expression is drinking in front of us.

Actually i think that this is a tool, like all tools, they can cutj tool, like all tools, they can cut people or save people. Thats how its always been, and whats interesting is that more of the conversation has looked at cancel culture as something to defend people who have offensive or oppressive views. In a democracy, people have the right to free speech, but at the end of the day that free speech is protected by government, not the public. So my book argues about how many people have misunderstood what freedom of speech means, and freedom of expression, and ive often times used an weaponize for that amendment in the United States as a way to defend themselves, or to a divorce themselves from accountability. So freedom of speech isnt allowed to offend priscilla people have the right to offend, but they also have the right to hear and experience the consequences that come from offending.

Ill come back to that point, the trouble is, earnest, speak. Ill come back to that i point, the trouble is, earnest, a lot of these attacks on criticism and doesnt always fit into the realm of transphobia and racism. What we talked about was pylon on social media, most people havent read the book or commenting on a snippet of a book that might not be representative. When there is a viral pylon like that, dont publishers have a responsibility to stand firm in support of the writer . I think that at the end of the day, if you assume that the pylon is the only thing thats causing a publication or publisher to make that decision, then youre foolish here. At the end of the day, we are in a Free Market Society and some of these who support capitalism forget that its supply or demand, its supply and demand. So this publishers arent making just a decision on the pylon, they think to themselves, we are about to invest a lot of money on a product that might not sell. So the thing about the bottom line, in addition to these opportunities, this has always been the case with everything. Before there is cancel culture, there was pc culture, political correctness. Before that, there was which mobs, everything else. Theres always been some kind of euphemism or word to describe cancel culture, and decisions are never made purely off of argumentation, but often driven by capitalism. So publishers in an industry where we see books publishing shrinking, and its hard to sell a book, to be honest, they are looking and considering other aspects that might do that. And if the public is showing a lot of backlash and boycotting, the democratic way for people sometimes to respond is through capitalism, even though in some cases it may not fall on the popular sword, weve seen this happen throughout history and what it will require is that those who do want to support Elizabeth Gilbert and those authors, they need to stand out louder. I think about Roseanne Barr i cant stand her, shes made racist and offensive jokes towards jewish people shes aligned herself with people shes aligned herself with people who are problematic, i dont like her. But you know what, when abc took her off, fox news put her on. So we have a Marketing Economy where cancellation is not across the board. Some groups may not like it, but others embrace it, we see this all the time. But but others embrace it, we see this all the time all the time. But one of the issues i wanted all the time. But one of the issues i wanted to all the time. But one of the issues i wanted to get all the time. But one of the issues i wanted to get at all the time. But one of the issues i wanted to get at is all the time. But one of the issues i wanted to get at is that i wanted to get at is that literature is a space to explore and to create, and to live a life that the author perhaps doesnt experience. So if, for instance, a book with a white character was taking a stand against racial injustice, that might be described by one group as antiracist, but by another, it might be described as a white saviour narrative. The question is, who stands injudgment on that . Question is, who stands in udgment on that . ,. , question is, who stands in udgment on that . ,. , � , on that .

People speaking out against diversity and inclusion may not necessarily be looking at this as cancellation, what they are doing is demanding diversity in spaces. So when we look at the liberal argument of this, white liberals who are whining and crying about being cancelled, actually are being channelled on your challenged on your privilege. Thinking about this on the larger spectrum, is It Cancellation or people demanding Something Different .

Good to have you both on the programme, thanks for your time this evening. Going to a short break, but well be back with our panel straightaway. Hello there. Weve had quite a mixture of weather across the uk today. Across the south, dry, sunny, quite warm. Northern areas of the uk had a day of sunshine and these passing showers, but between across wales, the midlands, into lincolnshire we had a Weather Front bringing some fairly persistent outbreaks of rain. Now this front is tied to another area of low pressure out in the atlantic that is set to deepen and swing toward iberia, where its quite likely to lead to some severe thunderstorms over the next few days. For friday, it also flicks warm air across england and wales, but then will bring some heavy rain for some of us into the weekend. So that low to the south is quite important. 0vernight tonight, outbreaks of rain turning heavier for a time across wales, the midlands, northern england, Pushing Northwards To Reach Southern Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. For most, its a mild night, but quite cool air across the far north of the country. Now, we pick up on our weatherfronts on friday across northern england, Northern Ireland, southern scotland. Through the day, the rain on it will tend to weaken somewhat. Weve got sunshine developing to the south across england and wales, but underneath that band of cloud and rain in the north, those temperatures are going to struggle somewhat. Highs of 13 15 celsius. In contrast to that, england and wales turning a lot warmer, 21 25 celsius, feeling a little on the humid side. Now, saturday, the same Weather Front is still with us, draped across parts of northern england, wales, perhaps eastern counties of Northern Ireland. Could be a few patches of light rain here and maybe a few heavy showers in the south through sunday. 0therwise, well get some spells of sunshine, still warm and humid in the south, with that fresher air still affecting scotland, Northern Ireland and increasingly the far north of england as well. For sunday, that area of low pressure near iberia starts to bring much heavier rain across parts of the uk. Now, were most likely to see the heavy rain across england and wales. Thundery, too, probably heavy enough to cause some localised surface water flooding. And through the day, that will drive northwards, so its quite likely to reach Northern Ireland. And there is a small chance of it moving right the way northwards into parts of scotland as well. But the general Rule Of Thumb is the further north you are, the more likely you are to keep the dry weather with a bit of sunshine. Into next week, well, it looks very unsettled. A sequence of low pressures coming our way. Its going to be wet and also really quite windy, as well. Its going to feel a bit more like autumn. Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news. We are investing in america. Investing in america and investing in americans, american people. Its about growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up instead of the top down. The big three can afford to immediately give us our fair share. If they choose not to, and they are choosing to strike themselves and we are not afraid to take action. And now hunter biden will be facing these very serious charges at the court in delaware. Good evening. The president in america wants to talk about the economy. The problem is his son hasjust been indicted for lying about his drug use and when he bought a gun. The indictment comes days after republicans opened an Impeachment Inquiry into president biden. We will get the views new tonight of victoria coates, republican consultant who served in the Trump Administration and also with us professor carwynjones, the former first minister of wales, previously leader of welsh labour. The uk has been plagued by industrial action this year
