In sport, a Bizarre Davis Cup victory for Great Britain. Thats after canada are disqualified when one of their players accidently hits a ball straight into the eye of the umpire. And carols amongst the orchids at kew gardens. Good morning. From the 22nd annual orchid festival at kew gardens, an indian theme for the first time. Beautiful and warm inside but outside it is cold, frosty and a dry start, wet and windy conditions moving in from the west. More in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story.

I forgot, you asked a question about policing and stuff, i dont want to be seen to be evading questions. We had a great time, but one thing surprised me was the sheer number of geiger counters that are deployed by the nypd. There are thousands, they have thousands and thousands of radioactivity detectors. I didnt know the threat of a dirty bomb was thought to be so substantial. Were taking that back. Youre going to deploy more geiger counters . Ive asked us to do a risk assessment. The early indications are that we dont think its necessary but it was very, very striking here. Super quick. Mr. Mayor, thank you for joining us. About a month ago, bobby jindal, louisiana governor, was in london and he made some comments about nogo zones around britain. I was very surprised by those statements and you know, with Great Respect to Governor Jindal and everybody else who has made this kind of comment, i think theyre in need of some sort of gentle education on this point.

In addition to being conyers mayor, the mayor is the churchill factor. Thats incredibly nice of you. What did you learn from Winston Churchill about what people want in their leader . Well churchill, the guy made the most incredible series of mistakes. His early career was studied with disasters of one kind or another. But he always came back from them and he always stuck by what he believed.

Sometimes dont. And so its fun. Its an amazing story. Youll have a ball. Will you read politico europe . Of course i will if you send me a copy. Its on the internet. Im so sorry. Of course. Thank you, thank you, of course i will. Were honored to have with us several of our british colleagues, pippa, has a question. Theres a disaffection with politicians, in our case with ethis westminster system. You have a rare political commodity that cuts through that, authenticity combined with a dash of humor. What can your colleagues at westminster do to help . Not everyones jokes are as good as yours. Obviously i reject a lot of the characterization youve very kindly made in my contribution. But what i think, and this is the point i was making yesterday, when we were having a conversation about cities, i think one of the problems we have got in britain is people do feel alienated and disaffected and they do feel remote from politicians. They feel politicians cant change anything or do anything.
