But one island is home to a secretive US military base and, with the growing threat of Chinese influence in the region, America is worried.

In this episode, we dive into the controversial decision surrounding the Chagos Islands, with Donald Trump reportedly signing off on a deal to return them to Mauritius. Venetia Rainey sits down with Associate Political Editor Tony Diver to discuss the potential security implications for the UK, US, and Asia, and why Trump might have suddenly backed this move. We also explore the possibility of Trump serving a third term, as political expert Bruce Peabody breaks down the legal options that could make it feasible. He outlines six scenarios that have been around for decades and explains why Trump's camp are not the first to hint at such a move.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/31/iran-urged-to-strike-diego-garcia-base-immediately/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/04/01/donald-trump-signs-off-keir-starmer-chagos-deal/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/01/mauritius-chagos-islands-agalga-indian-ocean-india-china/Contact us with feedback or ideasbattlelines@telegraph.co.uk @venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

In this video, we explore the question: Has Donald Trump betrayed the UK? We dive into the controversial trade tariffs deal between the US and the UK, the Chagos Islands dispute, and whether Trump's actions are a direct betrayal of the UK and Keir Starmer, or if he's simply putting America first as he promised during his presidential campaign. With tensions rising, Keir Starmer seems to be scrambling to patch things up with Donald Trump, but is this all part of a larger political play? Should the UK have aligned itself more European Union? We also discuss whether the Labour Party's previous criticisms of Trump are now coming back to haunt them. Do you admire Trump's bold and unapologetic style, or do you think Keir Starmer has the better approach for the UK's future? Could this be a moment of payback after years of political sniping between Trump and the Labour Party? Watch this video to get a deeper understanding of the complex political landscape and the future of UK-US relations under these two powerful leaders.

Time for another weekly news debrief: we pick apart the most unhinged headlines and try to make sense of the mainstream media, helping you consume the news critically. The UK agreed to hand the Chagos Islands “back” to Mauritius. But colonial history makes this decision complicated - and crucially, Chagossians were excluded from the discussions… much like Ukraine this week, who were left out of US-Russia peace negotiations. This news made every front page, except for the Daily Mail who wrote about wokeness and the Daily Star who wrote about... sausages. Other stories we cover: more than 65,000 people have complained to Ofcom over a GB News comment comparing queerness to (prepare yourself) paedophilia. We discuss this record-breaking number, and the doubled-down defence of the presenter. And finally, why anti-migrant sentiment led to Sweden's worst mass shooting - and whether the media does a better job at reporting crises, or creating them.

The future of the Chagos Islands hangs in the balance as world leaders debate how really owns the islands and who should be allowed to live there. Since the 1970s, the evicted Chagossian people have been using legal channels to fight their expulsion from their Indian Ocean homes, challenging Britain's claim to its last colony. Led by Olivier Bancoult, a Chagossian activist expelled from Peros Banhos in the 1960s, hundreds of people have been campaigning to be granted the right to return to their land. Despite winning their case in October 2024, the election of US President Donald Trump has thrown the status of the Chagos Islands again into jeopardy. So, as the weeks roll on since Trump's inauguration, the Chagossian people are asking: when will Britain let us go home? Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by barrister, writer and academic, Philippe Sands, to discuss the uncertain future of the Chagos Islands.

The Chagos Islands have dominated news headlines over the past few months, but the struggle of the Chagossian people to reclaim their island home has spanned centuries. First colonised in 1513 by the Portuguese, the archipelago shifted from one imperial master to another over the course of the next three hundred years, until the British took control in the 19th century and changed the course of Chagossian history forever... In the 20th century the US realised the strategic importance of the Chagos archipelago, sitting equidistant between Asia and Africa. As the island of Diego Garcia became home to one of the largest US military bases in the world, the Chagossian people were forcibly evicted from their lands and displaced across the world, left to fend for themselves in unknown lands. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Philippe Sands, barrister, writer and academic, who has been leading the repatriation case against the British government on behalf of the Chagos Islands and the Mauritian state.

Former top diplomat Simon McDonald, Lord McDonald of Salford, is the latest guest on Lord Speaker's Corner.Lord McDonald shares his views on a range of current international issues from President Trump and Greenland to the Chagos Islands and British soft power, plus changes to the global approach of the USA, China and Russia:‘For most of my career, the reasons why the institutions of the late 1940s were fraying were because Russia and then China were not particularly happy with that post Second World War settlement. The surprise in recent years is the United States being a revisionist power, not liking the bill paid by the United States to underpin that settlement.'Lord McDonald was previously Head of the Diplomatic Service, the most senior civil servant in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and has served as Ambassador to Israel and to Germany. In this episode, he speaks to Lord McFall about what drew him to public service both in the Foreign Office and the House of Lords:‘I think British public service is part of what defines our country and helps us through crisis. And I think it is a fact that in this House there are a group of people who are here to help, to help other people, not to help themselves. They are here to bring their expertise to bear. They're here to listen to other people. They are here to gather evidence before they make up their minds. And I think those are solid attributes of public service.'Lord McDonald also talks about the role of the Civil Service and ministers, plus the challenges of planning for successive governments:‘One reason why our projects across the board are worse than, say, similar projects in Japan or China or even France, is our planning regime, that every single road, bridge, railway has to go through a very protracted planning legal procedure. Every government I've worked for identified our planning laws as an obstacle, and every government so far has failed really to grip it. I note that the new Labour government is gearing up to attempt. I hope they succeed. But I note that every previous effort has failed.'See more from the series https://www.parliament.uk/business/lords/house-of-lords-podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

This episode of Mid Atlantic tackles two seismic geopolitical issues shaping transatlantic discourse. First, Donald Trump's alarming suggestion that the U.S. should take control of Gaza sparks global outrage, raising questions about America's stance on foreign intervention and human rights. The panel—featuring host Royfield Brown, progressive organizer Aram Fischer, polling expert Logan Phillips, mediator Leah Brown, and tech entrepreneur Michael Donahue—dissects the domestic and international fallout, the Republican Party's reaction, and how this aligns with Trump's broader disregard for international norms.Then, the UK's agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius—while retaining control of Diego Garcia for military operations—triggers fresh debates about colonial legacy and national security. As Keir Starmer takes heat for a deal orchestrated under the Conservatives, the panel examines Britain's reluctance to fully reckon with its imperial past and whether this move signals true decolonization or a carefully managed power play.To wrap up, the panel weighs in on the Super Bowl—some with genuine excitement, others with absolute indifference.

Vicki Young and guests discuss the Brexit “reset” and the Chagos Islands deal.

Richard Hermer was one of the surprise announcements from Keir Starmer's first Cabinet, and one of the most contravercial since. Starmer's old pal came with some notable baggage: his former clients include Sri Lankan refugees to the Chagos Islands and ex-Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams, as well as British-Bangladeshi Isis bride Shamima Begum. In government, Hermer has played a key role in several contentious decisions, such as the government's withdrawal of the UK's objections to the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, and his involvement in the Chagos Islands deal. And today he admitted that he has had to recuse himself ‘from certain matters' due to potential conflicts of interest. Is the government hamstrung by Hermer? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Rajiv Shah, former special adviser to the Attorney General and legal adviser to Number 10. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to hand over the islands to Mauritius—what potential role could the Trump administration play in the final negotiations? Later, Sir Richard and Christina unpack the events of the Presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. Plus, it's Sir Richard's birthday, and he shares his thoughts on what he believes is the biggest, most impactful foreign policy shift he has witnessed. Episode produced by Situation Room Studios.

Seven Indicted in Taiwan for Selling Tainted Condiments Seven people have been indicted for selling condiments containing banned Sudan dyes. Prosecutors in Yunlin County say employees of Chiseng Hong Ltd., including its general manager and his son, violated food safety laws, forged documents, and committed fraud. The case began in February 2024, when officials found Sudan III dye in chili powder made by the company. An expanded investigation later discovered Sudan I in their curry powder. Despite knowing about the contamination since 2023, the company continued producing and selling the tainted products, earning 6.77 million NT. Prosecutors are seeking heavy punishments for the seven individuals and fines for the company, citing deliberate (故意的) actions to hide toxic ingredients for profit. Two related firms, Chiseng Hong and Rich's Spice International, were also listed as defendants.

They said they had retrieved 78 bodies and rescued 246 survivors. The announcement on Wednesday was a surprise and came just a day after the police minister said the rescue operation would likely last until at least next week. Police say rescuers would do a final sweep of the mine today to ensure (確保) no more survivors or bodies were underground. UK Chagos Islands Discuss with Trump Britain's government has confirmed that it will not finalize a deal to hand over sovereignty of the contested Chagos Islands to Mauritius until President-elect Donald Trump's administration is consulted. The governments of Britain and Mauritius have been negotiating in recent months to complete an agreement to settle the future of the contested (有爭議的) Indian Ocean archipelago, which is home to a strategically important U.K.-U.S. naval and bomber base. But the agreement was opposed by Trump and his supporters. The president-elect's pick for secretary of state, Marco Rubio, warned last year that the deal posed “a serious threat” to U.S. national security. That was the I.C.R.T.

This week we're looking at a political agreement that will hand back sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. In the 1970s, the UK removed the entire Chagossian population to make way for a US military base. The islanders have been fighting for their right to return ever since. If deal can be agreed, the islanders are hoping they will have the chance to go home. And this got us thinking about all things home-related. First up, we discover the intriguing reasons why you can't smell your own home, then we take a closer look at our homes and all the creatures that live there, before finding out about the ‘home scars' created by limpets. Next we hear from Dr Nadescha Zwerschke, a scientist who spent time on Rothera research station in Antarctica. She reveals how she made this isolated outpost feel like home. Also, we reveal that global talks to agree a reduction in plastics have collapsed, which could have an impact on all our homes from a pollution perspective.And finally – a type of pasta that would be no good for your homecooked recipes.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 27, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. Why haven't the people of the Chagos Islands been allowed to go home? The archipelago in the Indian Ocean was home to Chagossians until the 1960s. As decolonization swept the globe, the UK created one last African colony. Slowly and then all at once, it forced people to leave their homes, then leased the land to the US for a military base. Chagossians have been fighting – and sometimes winning – in court to return to their home islands, and now, Human Rights Watch says that what the UK and US did amounts to crimes against humanity.  In this episode: Clive Baldwin (@cliveabaldwin), Senior Legal Advisor, Human Rights Watch Episode credits: This episode was updated by Chloe K.

Isabel Hardman presents highlights from Sunday morning's political shows. Conflict in the Middle East reaches a new crisis point as Israel bombs Lebanon and prepares to retaliate against Iran. We hear contrasting viewpoints from Israel, Iran, and the UK. Plus, Science Secretary Peter Kyle praises the government's Chagos Islands deal, and Boris Johnson praises himself. Produced by Joe Bedell-Brill.

What Keir Starmer wants to be talking about today is his landmark £22 billion investment into carbon capture. Flanked by Ed Miliband and Rachel Reeves, his speech was an unusually personal one where he spoke about the impacts of deindustrialisation. But how new is this policy? And what does this huge investment mean for the £20 billion black hole?  What Westminster seems more interested in talking about is the news that assisted dying is back on the agenda and the fallout of the deal to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Is there a degree of inevitability about these two stories resurfacing?  Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and James Heale.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

The UK is to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius after 50 years but will keep military base on Diego Garcia. Also: Lebanon says two soldiers have been killed by Israel, as Israel continues its Hezbollah offensive.

Today the BBC's Jeremy Bowen has published an interview with a senior member of Hamas. The interview was recorded on Tuesday - hours before Iran attacked Israel with ballistic missiles. Adam is joined by Jeremy for an update on the conflict in the Middle East, and a chat about his interview with Khalil Al-Hayya, the most senior member of Hamas outside Gaza. They speak about how the interview was arranged, why Jeremy pursued it and how he challenged Al-Hayya's claims about what happened on October 7. And, the UK will give sovereignty of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to Mauritius. After years of negotiations the government has agreed to hand over the islands after controlling them for more than half a century. Adam is joined by Andrew Harding, BBC Parris Correspondent, to cover the geography, history and politics of the Chagos Islands. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
