Grant shapps says the uk will still meet net zero targets despite that pledge. I think everyone supports this countrys transition to net zero, but you cannot get there by telling people were simply going to stop using oil and gas. Well the only way to do that would be to tell people, dont put your gas boiler on, dont drive a petrol car and do that almost instantaneously unless you do that. What youre really saying is, oh , were not going saying is, oh, were not going to dig our own oil gas , to dig our own oil and gas, well import instead. And well import it instead.

Now lets get back to mark and. To mark and. Pip ray. Thanks very much and welcome back to the live desk. Now the former us President Donald Trump , accused of plotting to overturn that 2020 election defeat. The most serious charges that he has faced so far. Hes accused of four counts of dishonesty, fraud and deceit, including conspiracy to defraud the us tamper ring with a witness and conspiracy against the rights of citizens. The rights of citizens. Well, those charges mark the end of an exhaustive investigation by special counsel jack smith into what happened before , before and during those before, before and during those riots at the us capitol back in january 2021. Lets remind ourselves of what President Trump said at the time all of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical left democrats, which is what theyre doing and stolen by the Fake News Media. Thats what theyve done and what theyre doing. We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesnt happen. You concede. It doesnt happen. You dont concede when theres theft involved. Involved. Our reporter paul hawkins joins us now in the studio. Joins us now in the studio. Quite extraordinary. This a never before seen scenario really with donald trump. Hes already charged in three criminal cases , but this could criminal cases, but this could be the most serious. Paul yeah, this this is the most serious. So the first one relates to effectively state law in new york. That was alleged hush money payments to a star and effects the way they were recorded in terms of accounting, that he broke those rules. The that he broke those rules. The second is federal charges relating to documents of National Security that were left in his residence in mar a lago in his residence in mar a lago in florida. These are easily by far the most serious, effectively what the charge here is that donald trump, effectively what the charge here is that donald trump , through is that donald trump, through dishonesty, lies, deceit and fraud, attempted to remain in office and overturn the Election Results. He, the president of the United States, is entrusted with the constitution. Hes entrusted with looking after it and that it is and seeing that it that it is carried in properly carried out in a properly and appropriate way. And the accusations here are really quite something you go quite something when you go through this 45 page document, which detailed. For which is quite detailed. For example, trumps on his rigged Election Campaign claims, i should say, these claims were false and this is what the document says. And trump knew they were false. But trump repeated and widely disseminated them anyway to make his knowingly false claims appear legitimate to create an Intense National atmosphere of mistrust on mike, putting pressure on mike pence, who was then Vice President , who is now running for the to be president against him in the next president ial Election Campaign. In this him in the next president ial Election Campaign. In this is interesting. Trump sought to enlist Vice President to use enlist the Vice President to use his role at the his ceremonial role at the certification to fraudulently alter the Election Results when he was said that when mike pence said you dont have the authority to do that, he said, youre being too honest. These are the claims that we should say claims the say they are claims made in the document. Donald say they are claims made in the docum posted donald say they are claims made in the docum posted on donald say they are claims made in the docum posted on truth onald say they are claims made in the docum posted on truth hasld say they are claims made in the docum posted on truth has called trump posted on truth has called these absolutely ridiculous and said that its all part of an attempt smear him ahead of attempt to smear him ahead of his run 2024. His run for 2024. Mean, conspiracy very i mean, conspiracy is very difficult to prove legally and it could be a long, drawn out process now that in itself bnngs process now that in itself brings the interesting question that we could have a former president accused of trying to overturn an election, running for a new election as the president , which would be president , which would be absolutely remarkable , quite frankly. I mean , theyre keen to get i mean, theyre keen to get the trial a done and dusted before next novembers president ial. President ial. Indeed, i think 4 00 tomorrow, 9 00, 9 00 tomorrow. Yeah, thats the hearing. And interestingly, itll be in front of a judge as a preliminary heanng of a judge as a preliminary hearing where the charges will of a judge as a preliminary hearing to |ere the charges will of a judge as a preliminary hearing to him. He charges will of a judge as a preliminary hearing to him. Thatsges will of a judge as a preliminary hearing to him. Thats in s will of a judge as a preliminary hearing to him. Thats in front. Be read to him. Thats in front of a judge not of a judge that will not be overseeing the trial. Itll be a separate oversees the separate judge that oversees the trial whenever that does happen. Separate judge that oversees the trialpolitically that does happen. Separate judge that oversees the trialpolitically ,hat does happen. Separate judge that oversees the trialpolitically , he does happen. Separate judge that oversees the trialpolitically , he donaldappen. Separate judge that oversees the trialpolitically , he donald trump but politically, he donald trump is using this to fuel his base within the Republican Party. But within the Republican Party. But whether that translates into the wider electorate, if indeed he does win the primary contest, which he is for the the front does win the primary contest, which ito is for the the front does win the primary contest, which ito do or the the front does win the primary contest, which ito do atthe the front does win the primary contest, which ito do at the the front does win the primary contest, which ito do at the moment, that runner to do at the moment, that remains to be seen we remains to be seen when we get to november next year. Could be facing but he could be facing prison, he. 7 he but he could be facing prison, he . He could. But he could be facing priscould he . He could. But he could be facing priscould face he . He could. But he could be facing priscould face more he could. But he could be facing priscould face more years uld. But he could be facing priscould face more years ind. He could face more years in prison on this planet. Prison than be on this planet. Yeah, hes 77 years technically, according to the constitution. In constitution. An you can be in prison and still president. Prison and still be president. You still face charges you can still face charges because the when the founders, the Founding Fathers wrote up the Founding Fathers wrote up the constitution , they never the constitution, they never envisaged that a president would be in this position. So they never there were never rules in place say well, if place to say that, well, if youve broken you cant youve broken the law, you cant be cant run for be president , you cant run for president. So this be president. So this would be complete territory. President. So this would be con nothing territory. President. So this would be connothing from territory. President. So this would be con nothing from the erritory. President. So this would be con nothing from the democratic president. So this would be con no weve rom the democratic president. So this would be con noweve seen. 1e democratic president. So this would be con noweve seen. I democratic president. So this would be con noweve seen. I thinkocratic camp. Weve seen. I think President Bidens cycling. Yes, President Bidens cycling. Yes, weve got pictures of delaware. Hes looking very relaxed without because without falling over because i think last time he actually fell off his bike. But the extraordinary thing is they are neck and neck in the polls as we head nearer towards this election. Yeah. And so its difficult yeah. And so its difficult to see how this will play out in terms of we know that as i said, it will fire up his his base within the Republican Party. He within the Republican Party. He is the front runner for the primaries. Were not sure how that will translate into the wider election because effectively, hes if hes effectively, if hes if hes facing next year, at the facing trial next year, at the same time as campaigning logistically , he that cuts out logistically, he that cuts out his time for campaigning just logistically. But but the message hes trying to say is, look, elect me as president while at the time while at the same time hes being accused of dishonesty for the international the last his last international and pointed out, two and as you pointed out, two other as well where the other cases as well where the Legal Process has already been started. Started. So hearings will have so those hearings will have to at some stage. So those hearings will have to yeah, at some stage. So those hearings will have to yeah, and some stage. So those hearings will have to yeah, and we1e stage. So those hearings will have to yeah, and we knowge. We know yeah, and we know and we know that the trial about regarding the classified documents that were found in his house, thats for may next year. May next yeah for may next year. May next year. So theres youve got three ongoing cases and his campaigning it like i said were in uncharted territory. Its astonishing really and in total i think its 78 criminal charges against him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah. And interestingly yeah. And interestingly , yeah. And interestingly , hes yeah. And interestingly, hes closest competitor in the primary race to get the republican nomination in to run for the white house. Ron desantis has said that if he were to become president , he would stop the weaponization of government. Thats interesting. Politically because hes clearly he doesnt want to be seen to be running against donald trump and alienating base. But alienating that base. But clearly, to separate clearly, he has t
