Welcome, and thanks so much forjoining me today. Borisjohnson launched a new Foreign Policy direction, Global Britain the integrated review this week. It was driven by professorjohn bew, a historian known across the Political Landscape here and author of a much read biography of labours post war prime minister, clement attlee. Seen in that light, the focus on nato, a renewed comittment to nuclear and a tilt to the indo pacific, with more interest in space, cyber and technology are perhaps unsurprising. Politically, can Global Britain be made to chime with the governments other key mantra of levelling up . And what about china friend orfoe, or both . Isobel, are we already in a sort of new cold war . Well, we certainly have elements of a cold war, but unlike the original cold war we are dealing with not the soviet union, but a country that has the second biggest economy in the world and is a huge trading partner, so its more complicated than that. But we are in a systemic confrontation, and a series of reports from the us, the eu, various western democratic partners have identified this strategic contest that we are certainly engaged on. The difficulty that all of these countries are facing is, how do you pursue that systemic confrontation . How do you defend human rights and Democratic Values whilst continuing to trade with such an important partner . Thats at the heart of this report too, but the question isnt answered. Borisjohnson once described his position as wanting to have his cake and eat it, and that is a lot of cake in this report without really confronting the question of whether there is a cost to defending values and as britain prepared to pay it at a time when it has lost its Major Trading partner, the eu, and is seeking to compensate for this by patching to collect new and different relationships across the world. , ,. , and different relationships across the world. ,. , and different relationships across the world, ,. , ~ the world.

What exactly superpower, post brexit world. What exactly does the uk fit in . Its not really exactly does the uk fit in . Its not really a exactly does the uk fit in . Its not really a major player in any way in global really a major player in any way in global politics, but it has a historic global politics, but it has a historic legacy that it wants to sustain historic legacy that it wants to sustain. Naturally what the report seems sustain. Naturally what the report seems to sustain. Naturally what the report seems to be to reconcile. In leaving the eu, seems to be to reconcile. In leaving the eu, which represents 43 of this countrys the eu, which represents 43 of this countrys trade, it is simply not going countrys trade, it is simply not going to countrys trade, it is simply not going to be made up with trade with japan, going to be made up with trade with japan, which has 1. 9 of this countrys japan, which has 1. 9 of this countrys trade. I think its about trying countrys trade. I think its about trying to countrys trade. I think its about trying to find that place. On the question trying to find that place. On the question of china, it is really an irreconcilable challenge for every countrx irreconcilable challenge for every country. We saw in alaska this week, with the country.

I disagree with the characterisation that its about we are where we are. A lot of it is about we are aware that we wear. There is a lot of education of past influence and pass the virtues, most of which is a really diverging with current policies.

It nations on protecting ourselves on that front . ,. ,. , that front . It does certainly talk about an investment that front . It does certainly talk about an investment and that front . It does certainly talk i about an investment and commitment to developing capacity. Britain is no slouch when it comes to side bar, but who does need investment. Historically, we have underinvestment in the whole science and technology area. We are very good at inventing and a very bad at supporting inventions to market, and there for retaining the value of them. There are quite structural issues you have ordered him to have the kind of domestic resilience that its going to need to cope with being adrift is a small, medium sized power in a very contentious world. We are going to need a lot of attention. And it is not straightforward to say that we can just put Material Interest ahead of human rights when it comes to china, because we also proclaim to be Close Friends with the us, which is involved in a systemic confrontation. When it comes to choosing, and there will be moments when we have to choose, what will britain choose . We are sending an Aircraft Carrier to the far east. Whats going to do . Would it defend taiwan . Is itjust doing freedom of operations in the South China Sea . Well, you know, china doesnt that either. All these choices were, repeatedly, and i dont get the sense from this paper that the direction is clear a enough for us to make those decisions properly.

China, the biggest is distributing vaccines . China, the biggest is the distributing vaccines . China, the biggest is the biggest distributing vaccines . China, the l biggest is the biggest Producer Biggest Is the biggest producer of pharmaceuticals until now has been india, but india is also under pressure to vaccinate its population. China has ramped up its production and is Ditch Omitting vaccines to a number of countries for up if you look at a country like chile, which has a high rate, it is also a chinese vaccine. It is having success in latin america, one or two countries and former eastern bloc of europe, but it has an extraordinarily low backs and eating right at home. This is partly because china had such a successful Lockdown Policy that the incidence of the violence is relatively low. Within chinas borders a lot of people are losing ballot normal lives and the demand for the vaccine is therefore relatively low in china. The problem for china is how would you maintain if you want to open your borders . That is the virtue of being able to return to normalcy, but that is the difficulty of not having much coming and going with the outside world for the foreseeable future because you havent vaccinated depopulation. The way the Chinese Government has played it is that this is a bed for a global position in global pharmaceuticals, slightly at the expense of its own population. Lyse. Expense of its own population.

Shaun ley is here next week, but from me thanks for watching and bye for now. Hello there. Its the spring equinox todau, and whilst many will be cloudy and rather cool there will be a little bit of sunshine to warm things up for some of you. High pressure still in charge, it has slipped a bit further southwards. With that, winds from the north and west instead of from the east, and thats going to have a big difference to some areas because, crucially, the Sea Temperatures around the uk are at their coldest at the moment. To get the wind off the sea, it is going to feel chilly. Certainly, it was a chilly day across Eastern England yesterday with the wind coming off the north sea. Today, though, with the winds from the north west, its here where the best of the cloud breaks will be. The same, too, in south east scotland, where the highest of the temperatures will be. We will see some Sunshine Return later to orkney, shetland and the far north of scotland after a wet and windy spell, sunshine continues in the south across the channel islands. Here, with the wind off that chilly sea, just 9 degrees. 14 17 possible in some parts of north east england. This is where the peak of todays warmth will be. Moving away from western scotland, where it was yesterday. Thats all due to that shift in wind direction, which will now go tonight into more of a northerly direction, pushing patchy rain and drizzle southwards through scotland, northern ireland, into northern england, wales, and by the end of the night across the midlands too. With clear skies in its wake and that chilly air in place, its going to be a colder night than last night across the northern half of the country. Could see temperatures low enough for A Touch Of Frost in one oi two areas. Mild enough in the south, lots of cloud here, damp, drizzly. Quite a murky start to the day for some of you, particularly around the hills. The rain and the drizzle will ease of, becoming confined to the channel islands. The far west of cornwall, skies will brighten. More cloud into the far north of scotland, with a few spots of rain. Elsewhere, a better chance of a bit of sunshine on sunday afternoon. Temperatures will be down a little bit, we have got a slightly colder air mass in place. Probably the highest of the temperatures this time south west midlands, South West England and across south wales. But with the colder air by and large in place and some clearer through sunday night, Monday Morning could be a chilly night. Gardeners, take note. There could be a little bit of frost around as we head into the start of the new week. The new week will start with High Pressure in place, so we start dry. But as that starts to push its way southwards, we open the door to the atlantic winds, and that will bring more cloud and some wet and windy weatherfor some of you, particularly for scotland and northern ireland, as our outlook for next week show rain will be developing at times. Further south, all that was drier and always a little bit milder. Thats how it is looking. Ill see you again soon. This is bbc news these are the latest headlines in the uk and Around The World.
