Podcasts about british prime minister rishi sunak

The Labour Party, headed by Keir Starmer, has won an outright majority in the lower house of the British parliament, according to a tally of seats by broadcaster Sky News.根据广播公司天空电视台的席位统计，由基尔·斯塔默领导的工党在英国议会下议院赢得了绝对多数。With 467 of parliament's 650 seats declared, the Labour has won 326, Sky News said early Friday.7月5日早些时候，天空电视台称，在议会650个席位中已宣布467个席位中，工党赢得了326个席位。British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat in the general election minutes before any media outlet declared that the threshold of 326 seats was reached.在媒体宣布达到半数议席，即326个席位，的前几分钟，英国首相希·苏纳克承认败选。The exit poll commissioned by three broadcasters — the BBC, ITV, and Sky News -- forecast hours earlier that the Labour would achieve a landslide win of 410 seats, while the number of seats for the Conservatives would be reduced to 131.几个小时前，三家广播公司——英国广播公司、独立电视台和天空电视台——委托进行的出口民调预测，工党将获得410个席位的压倒性胜利，而保守党的席位将减少到131个。"The Labour Party has won this general election, and I've called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory," Sunak said.苏纳克说：“工党赢得了这次大选，我已经给基尔·斯塔默爵士打电话祝贺他的胜利。”"The British people have delivered a sobering verdict tonight, there is much to learn... and I take responsibility for the loss," he said.他说：“今晚，英国人民做出了一个令人警醒的裁决，有很多需要学习的……我对这次失败负有责任。”Sunak is expected to announce his resignation soon to pave the way for Starmer to take over as Britain's new prime minister after meeting Britain's King Charles III.预计苏纳克将很快宣布辞职，为斯塔默在会见英国查尔斯三世后接任英国新首相铺平道路。"We did it. You campaigned for it, you fought for it — and now it has arrived," Starmer addressed crowds in central London after the Labour majority was confirmed. "Change begins now."“我们做到了。你们为此付出了努力，你们为此奋斗——现在它已经到来，”在确认工党获得多数席位后，斯塔默在伦敦市中心对人群说，“改变从现在开始。”The British people "had to look us in the eye and see that we can serve their interests — and that doesn't stop now," he said.他说，英国人民“必须看着我们的眼睛，看到我们可以为他们的利益服务——这一点现在不会停止”。"I don't promise you it will be easy," he added. "But even when the going gets tough — and it will — remember tonight and always what this is all about."“我不能向你保证这很容易，”他补充道。“但即使事情变得艰难——它将会变得艰难——也要记住今晚和永远这一切都是为了什么。”Labour Party工党outright majority绝对多数landslide win压倒性胜利

In these surreal times FRDH turns to Robin Lustig to calmly, rationally analyze the verdict in the Trump Trial and the curious local disinterest in the UK's elections.

When, last week, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a snap national election for early July, the derision came thick and fast. First, it was because he made his announcement, in front of 10 Downing Street, while being pelted with rain. Without an umbrella.

This has been endorsed by former Prime Minister David Cameron and comes just months after the government called for conscription with Boris Johnson posing in a helmet claiming he would obey such an insane order. Of course many will say it's good for irresponsible 18 year olds to learn some responsibilities and toughen up. While it's true this is desperately needed among younger people, National Service is an entirely different ball game. The UK has claimed they're essentially out of ammo stockpiles, they're decommissioning ships and like the American War College they're claiming that a new draft is necessary. All the while, they're poking the Russian bear, getting involved in the Middle Eastern conflict between Israel, Palestine, Iran and Lebanon and have all but declared World War 3. The reality is, they are prepping children to go die for a country that locked them down, attempted to mass poison them, openly destroys the culture, destroys the currency and demands a "Great Reset." Keir Starmer of The Labour Party who has admitted he would take the advice of the World Economic Forum over the British people any day is not likely to be any better. Tyrants want to enslave your children and send them to die for unjust wars in order to achieve the Great Reset. Things are getting more tense in war and it's only a matter of time before they see your children, once again as "expendable." Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Standing in the pouring rain, and drowned out by protest music, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stood in front of 10 Downing street with an announcement: the British public would be heading to the polls for a snap election on July 4th. British Politics has been a whirlwind for the last decade, with several conservative governments, and the polarizing passage of Brexit. And after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness, the Labour Party looks primed to deliver a historic election victory. The BBC's UK Political correspondent Rob Watson joins the show to discuss an election that stands to deliver change, however moderate, to the British public. 

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Business Roundtable, sponsored by Bell, Dr. Rocket Ron Epstein of Bank of America Securities, Sash Tusa of the independent equity research firm Agency Partners, and Richard Aboulafia of the AeroDynamic advisory consultancy, join host Vago Muradian discuss investor worries that after dropping inflation and soaring markets the Federal Reserve won't cut rates as quickly as hoped, Boeing releases third annual safety report as CFO Brian West says the company will post negative cash flow this year, how the new financial outlook will impact the company plans to acquire Spirit AeroSystems and continue costly efforts to restore commercial and defense confidence, Sierra Nevada plan to use former Korean Air 747s as the Pentagon's next generation Doomsday planes, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak schedules snap elections for July 4, and British intelligence finding that China is sending lethal aid to Russia and the merits of allowing Kyiv to use US weapons to strike targets in Russia.

A day after announcing a snap election, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has conceded his signature pledge to deport migrants to Rwanda will not happen before ballots are cast. Labour is favoured to win the July 4 vote, but smaller parties on both sides of the political spectrum believe they can take seats and potentially complicate Keir Starmer's path to power.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made a surprise announcement this week calling for a general election on July 4. Why the sudden decision, and what will follow for the United Kingdom? Then, the International Criminal Court is applying for arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and three Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. What does this mean for Israel and Hamas? Meanwhile, China begins military drills around Taiwan as “punishment.” Yasmeen Abutaleb, Gideon Rachman, and Carla Anne Robbins join the Council's Ivo Daalder to share reactions to these recent gambles on this week's World Review.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calls a general election as he trails the opposition in the polls. Russia's military has started tactical nuclear weapons drills in response to what the Kremlin says are growing threats from the West amid the war in Ukraine. And there aren't a lot of homes on the market, but those that are for sale are selling fast as competition among would-be buyers is keeping prices high.

It's a day of shame after an inquiry into Britain's infected blood scandal suggests a cover up.  More than 30,000 people received infected blood and products in the 1970s and 80s from the state-funded National Health Service.  3000 people died and thousands more contracted hepatitis or HIV.  The inquiry's found the government hid the truth to save face and expense.  British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is pledging financial compensation for those impacted.  He says they'll pay whatever the scheme costs, with details laid out tomorrow.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But the months of inaction highlighted Ukraine's vulnerability to western politics, as well as a worrying shortfall in defense production across NATO.

*) Israel's claims against UNRWA lack evidence: UN review Israel has yet to provide any proof of its allegation that some UN agency staff are members of Palestine's resistance groups. This is according to an independent review of the neutrality of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The review was led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna to respond to Israeli allegations that some UNRWA staff took part in Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel. *) Pro-Palestine protests spread across US universities Meanwhile, classes at Columbia University have been shifted online as protests over Israel's carnage in besieged Gaza heightened tensions across US campuses. A large group of demonstrators had established a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" on lawns at Columbia. Protests also spread to other campuses, including MIT, New York University and Yale, where at least 47 people had been arrested after refusing requests to disperse. *) Outrage as India's Modi, in quest for votes, calls Muslims 'infiltrators' India's main opposition party has filed a complaint against Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "blatantly targeting" minority Muslims in a campaign speech calling them “infiltrators”. The complaint, filed to the country's Election Commission, said Modi's comments were "divisive,” “malicious" and targeted Muslims in India. The comments were "far worse than any ever made by a sitting Prime Minister in the history of India", it said. *) UK Parliament passes Rwanda deportation plan for asylum-seekers The UK government's plan to deport migrants and asylum seekers to Rwanda has been cleared by Parliament after a marathon tussle. Members of the upper house repeatedly sent back the plans with amendments to MPs in the lower chamber but eventually agreed to make no further changes, ensuring the bill would now become law. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vowed to begin sending asylum seekers to Rwanda within 10 to 12 weeks. *) Militants take 110 civilians hostage in central Mali Suspected militants in central Mali are holding more than 110 civilians they abducted six days ago. Three buses carrying the civilians were stopped by "militants", who forced the vehicles and the passengers to head towards a forest. Mali has since 2012 been ravaged by different factions affiliated with Al Qaeda and Daesh, as well as by self-declared, self-defence forces and bandits.

It's Tuesday, April 9th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Somalian Muslims killed 6 Christian Kenyans Al-Shabab Islamic extremists are suspects in the killing of six Christian men in Somalia on Good Friday, March 29, reports International Christian Concern. Originating from Kenya, the six men were selling plastic goods and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Muslims in the Islamic town of Dhobley.  Please, pray for their families as they mourn the loss today. According to the Open Doors World Watch List, Somalia, Africa is the second most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. 11 Chinese hospitals suspended birthing operations The South China Morning Post reports that 11 major national hospitals have suspended birthing operations since last June — due to China's ongoing birth dearth. Total number of births across the country dropped to 9 million last year — get this — down from 18 million in 2016!   That's the lowest birth rate since accurate records were made available in the 1940s. China suffered a population loss of a half million people last year. At this rate, demographers estimate China will lose about 700,000,000 people or half their population over the next 80 years. Military buildup in Japan, China, and India Eastern nations are building up their respective military complexes. Japan's defense budget is expanding — a 16.5% budget increase over the last year.  Japan is inching towards a 2% GDP military expenditure, up from 0.9%  in the 1990s and early 2000s. China has also announced a 7.2% increase on its military expenditures for 2024. That's an officially released number of $236 billion — about double what it was in 2013. Even more significant, India's military spending has increased from $14 billion to $77 billion since 2000. Meantime, U.S. military spending has dropped from 7% of the GDP to about 3.5% of the Gross Domestic Product since 1980. 28-year-old depressed Dutch woman getting euthanized The Free Press reports on a 28-year-old Dutch woman who is “tired of living” and “depressed,” and will be euthanized by doctor's assistance. Zoraya ter Beek says she is “a little afraid of dying, because it's the ultimate unknown. We don't really know what's next—or is there nothing? That's the scary part.” Tragically, 138 Dutch people were killed or “euthanized” by a doctor who were committed on psychiatric grounds in the Netherlands last year, reports Dutch News.  Disturbingly, 5.4% of Dutch deaths are doctor-assisted suicides.  Trump on abortion: Leave it to the states Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, announced Monday that he would rather leave abortion legislation up to the states, instead of seeking a federal law protecting the lives of the unborn. Trump announced his position on Truth Social. Listen. TRUMP: “Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars -- both sides -- wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended. “It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth, and that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable. “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it, from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state.” Trump also emphasized his allowance for killing the child in the cases of rape and incest. He places the priority on “the salvation of the nation” and winning elections, in his words “without which we will have nothing other than failure, death, and destruction." Biden wants to forgive more student debt before election Before November's presidential election, President Biden is attempting to squeeze in one more student loan forgiveness program which could impact 30 million college borrowers, reports Forbes.com. The new plan proposes to forgive accrued interest, and forgive loans for those earning less than $120,000 per year. Total student debt in the US tops $1.75 trillion, with an average debt of $28,950 — 92% of which are federal loans. Thus far, the President has managed to wipe out $143 billion in federal student loans. 2 Chronicles 19:7 says, “And [Jehoshophat] said to the judges, ‘Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.'” Missouri, Michigan and Hawaii are targeting homeschoolers In the parental rights arena nationally, Missouri and Michigan state governments are proposing compulsory attendance laws which would lower the entry school age to 5 years of age. Plus, the Hawaiian government is proposing mandatory “wellness” visits from friendly Department of Education bureaucrats for families who choose to homeschool. Now, if you live in Missouri, Michigan, or Hawaii, please examine the suggested calls for action by the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.

And finally, a Venezuelan named Juan Vicente Pérez was 114 years old. His 115th birthday was just next month. He was married to his wife, Ediofina, for 60 years until she died in 1997.  The couple had 11 children including 6 sons and 5 daughters.  He also enjoyed his 41 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.  Juan shared his secret for a long life with the Guinness Book of World Records. He said, “just work hard, rest on holidays, go to bed early, drink a glass of aguardiente (that's an alcohol) every day, love God, and always carry Him in your heart."  Proverbs 3:15-16 reminds us that “Wisdom is more precious than rubies. … Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, April 9th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Extra Print British Prime Minister vs. Baylor professor on Rowling Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has generated controversy by publicly labeling men, pretending to be women, as men, which is a violation of Scotland's new law. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, "People should not be criminalized for stating simple facts on biology.” An English professor from Baylor University, Greg Garrett, who teaches classes on Harry Potter, condemned Rowling for her statements, reports Fox News. He claimed she “hated trans people.”

What started out as a mundane piece of legislation aiming to tackle hate speech in Scotland has become a lightning rod for debate. A Scottish law that came into force on Monday has received significant pushback from many, including Harry Potter author JK Rowling and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Here, after a bruising defeat in last month's referendums, could the Government shelve its proposed hate-speech legislation or will it be brought in despite growing opposition? ­ Host: Kevin Doyle.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has declared it's time to end what he calls “the war on motorists.” First, the Conservative Party leader announced he was delaying the UK's commitment to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars. He followed that with what he called his “plan for motorists,” which would severely restrict local efforts to implement low-traffic neighborhoods, 20 mph speed limits, bus-only lanes, and other policies intended to benefit people walking, cycling, and taking transit. Finally, he scrapped a major portion of HS2, a high-speed rail line linking some of the UK's biggest cities. So… what the hell is happening in the UK? With similar setbacks in Berlin, Madrid, New York and elsewhere, is this part of a broader global backsliding? Are we losing the The War on Cars or is the prime minister just grasping at culture-war straws?

It's Monday, November 27th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Communist Xi gets royal treatment despite China's persecution record China's President Xi Jinping recently visited the United States to meet with President Joe Biden, the first visit on American soil in six years. Their conversation included topics like the fentanyl crisis, artificial intelligence, and even the return of pandas to the United States.   Yet one issue was painfully neglected in their conversation – China's blatant violation of human rights and persecution of religious minorities, reports International Christian Concern. Since the Chinese Communist Party seized power in the 1940s, religious freedom conditions have deteriorated. China has kept its efforts to silence and, in some cases, eradicate ethnic and religious communities, such as the Uyghurs, Tibetan Buddhists, and Christians. Disappearances, forced organ harvesting, controlled press, and surveillance of its citizens are just the beginning in terms of China's human rights abuses. And these issues were largely ignored during Jinping's visit.  Shortly after the heads of state met, dozens of American CEOs socialized over dinner with Chinese government officials. High-profile CEOs such as Elon Musk of Tesla and X, Stanley Deal of Boeing, Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, and Marc Benioff of Salesforce were seen in attendance, paying up to $40,000 to dine with Communist dictator Xi Jinping. Many have criticized this large gathering, including Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, who said, “It is unconscionable that American companies might pay thousands of dollars to join a ‘welcome dinner' hosted by the very same Chinese Communist Party officials who have facilitated a genocide against millions of innocent men, women, and children in Xinjiang.” The attendance of Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, should also be of notable concern. Two years ago, Apple removed a Bible app from the Chinese version of the app store at the request of government officials.   For a country that brought in $74 billion in revenue in 2022 for Apple, it is possible that Tim Cook and many of the CEOs in attendance have traded their “commitments” to universal human rights in exchange for cash, filling their pockets while letting China's religious minorities continue to suffer.  200 trucks of goods enter Gaza Strip Two hundred trucks of goods were offloaded by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency reception point in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the biggest humanitarian convoy received since October 7, reports the Jerusalem Post. This was done within the framework of the truce and the schedule for the release of the hostages that was agreed upon with the US through the mediation of Qatar and Egypt. The temporary truce between Israel and Hamas came into effect early on Friday, ahead of the exchange of dozens of hostages held by terrorists in Gaza for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, reports Jewish News. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak tweeted: “This humanitarian pause is critical to end the terrible ordeal of hostages held by Hamas and get life-saving aid into Gaza.” Instagram has become a “vast pedophile network” According to recent testimony during a U.S. Senate committee hearing, while social media giant, Meta, which runs Facebook and Instagram, was focused on cracking down on conservative speech in coordination with the Biden administration, pedophiles were not only operating “vast” networks on the company's platforms, but were often connected with each other via the company's own algorithms, reports LifeSiteNews. Listen to this soundbite from the November 7 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “social media and the teen mental health crisis.” Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri asked Arturo Bejar, Facebook's former Director of Engineering for Protect and Care, a question. HAWLEY: “This is from the Wall Street Journal's report earlier this year. This is June of this year. They found the following. I'm going to quote.  ‘Instagram helps connect and promote a vast network of accounts openly devoted to the commission and purchase of under-age sex content. Pedophiles have long used the internet. But, unlike the forums and file transfer services that cater to people who have an interest in illicit content, Instagram doesn't merely host these activities, Instagram's algorithms promote them. Instagram connects pedophiles and guides them to content sellers via recommendation systems that excel at linking those who share these interests, the [Wall Street] Journal and academic researchers found.' “This is a stunning, stunning report, Mr. Bejar that more than bears out what you were telling, trying to tell, the executives who ignored you. In your own view, why do you think this is happening? Why has Instagram become, in the words of the Wall Street Journal, ‘a vast pedophile network'? Why are people, like your daughter, every time they get on Instagram, they're being bombarded with unwanted sexual advances, sexual content? Why is this happening?” BEJAR:  “Most of the resources, close to all, that they invest in this go towards this very narrow definition of harm.” Read Arturo Bejar's 15-page testimony. In Matthew 18:6, Jesus warned, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Celebrities revealing they aborted their children in memoirs And finally, it's the year of abortion memoirs, reports LifeSiteNews.com.   In Paris Hilton's memoir, entitled Paris, she revealed that when she was 22 years old she had an abortion.   She wrote, “In November 2003, after we had filmed the first season of The Simple Life and before it premiered, I was living my best life. … It all came crashing down when I realized I was pregnant at 22. Choosing to have an abortion can be an intensely private agony that's impossible to explain. The only reason I'm talking about it now is that so many women are facing it, and they feel so alone and judged and abandoned. … And you do it, even though it breaks your heart.” She's had thoughts like, “What if I killed my Paris?” Actress Kerry Washington  also released an autobiography this year, entitled Thicker Than Water: A Memoir, and writes about her own abortion.  She never imagined that she would be in an abortion clinic, “surrendering my insides to a surgical vacuum.”  Ironically, Washington is famous for a scene when her character on the TV show Scandal had an abortion, literally, to the tune of “Silent Night,” a Christmas hymn celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. And singer Britney Spears revealed in her memoir, entitled The Woman in Me, that she experienced a brutal abortion at the behest of her then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, a man who desperately did not want to be a father. Spears wanted to keep the child, but she caved under pressure, and lay sobbing on the bathroom floor after taking the Abortion Kill Pill for fear of being recognized outside an abortion mill. Despite being worth tens of millions of dollars, they, too, were “not ready” to have children. The woman in Spears wanted to keep the baby; the baby in her died because Timberlake refused to welcome the baby that he had fathered. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, November 27th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
