Dangerous for Everybody And America is bankrolling that. And then there is the naked political reality that anything that benefits netanyahu in this period is not necessarily going to benefit Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are democrats in this period. You are talking about Vladimir Putin who wants Donald Trump to win. Benjamin netanyahu wants Donald Trump to win. The differences the biden administration is in many ways helping Benjamin Netanyahu providing him the impunity to do things that wind up with Killing Palestinians and lebanese and endangering israelis but also increase the possibility of Donald Trump pain president. Then there is just the whole human told. There is the expectation that there is going to be retaliation on the part of hezbollah and i wonder how you are girding yourself as we are in this strange interregnum period. I guess there could be more explosions tomorrow, but as we and global Community Sit and wait for retaliation from hezbollah for taxes real began. The bi
Hi there, everyone. It is 4:00 in new york with 55 days to go ahead of election day. The first and potentially only debate between kamala harris and the disgraced twice impeopled four timed indicts expresident has injected a jolt into the race thanks to a masterful performance by kamala harris. We turn that 90minute debate watched by a whopping 57. 75 million people into what the new york times called a quote referendum on donald trump. A speech with words and with her body language and facial expressions and even a simple handshake. That image there of vice president kamala harris from the moment she took the stage, walking straight up to donald trump and introducing herself. And insisting on shaking his hand set the tone for her control of the room for the next 90 minutes and what would prove to be a powerful reminder that donald trump, who had seven prior presidential debates was immediately outmatched by vice president harris s talent and prosecutorial skills. And i m going to actu
Fawzia koofi, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. It s a great pleasure to have you in the hardtalk studio. It is now three years since taliban rule was restored in afghanistan. They have just passed a raft of new so called vice and virtue measures in kabul. Tell me about the impact of those measures, as you see it. You have put it very rightly after the, you know, three years since the taliban regime was restored. This is the right way to put it, because many people think, say, um, three years since the taliban victory, since they have taken power. Ijust believe it s three years since afghanistan was handed over to taliban because of the moral defeat by all of us, especially international community. Now, the new law. . . You re talking about the decision led by the united states of the western nations who d been backing the afghan government to withdraw their troops, which, of course, then led to the collapse of the afghan national army and the taliban moving back in to kabu
I cant give a timeline, because theres a number of outstanding ways to which we will have to see, whether thats through tightening up legislation, whether thats around the legal framework about how we can get these companies and these these building owners. Weve got thousands of people, Hundreds Of Thousands in the Cladding Scandal Campaign statement yesterday, still living in homes with the same risks in grenfell seven years ago. They are looking to you as the deputy prime minister, the Housing Secretary, to say when by, to put a deadline there. Which is why my Remediation Acceleration Plan is about how i can speed up that process. Leon, 330,000 People Cant sell their flats until the cladding is removed, unless they can find Cash Buyers in limbo. There are people living in fear of the cladding outside their apartment. Surely, with six years of inquiry and £11 billion there to deal with the problem, we could set a deadline. Problem, we could set a deadline. , . ,. , deadline. Youd hav
We change the wind direction, We bring the winds down from the northWest, and so things are going to feel very different. Temperatures, if anything, looks set to drop back to values below the average for the time of year, and it will still be quite unsettled. ShoWers or longer spells of rain and often breezy. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. To be female in afghanistan is to be condemned to a life without visibility, agency or rights. The Taliban Regime requires women to conceal their faces, bodies, even their voices in public. They must never look at a man outside theirfamily, nor ever sing or read aloud. The Un Secretary general calls it systemic gender apartheid. But still it continues. And still, taliban officials conduct a dialogue with international counterparts. My guest is fawzia koofi, former Deputy Speaker of the Afghan Parliament. What is the right international approach to afghanistan . Fawzia koofi, Welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. Its a great pleasure
