President Donald Trump landed in Windsor this week for his historic second state visit to the UK. What ensued was a celebration of pomp and pageantry fit for a king: a Red Arrows flyby, a lavish banquet in a castle, and a press conference at Chequers – during which the president continually heaped praise on the ‘special relationship'. Was this display of UK soft power just symbolic sycophancy, or has it resulted in some real substance? Host George Parker – fresh from the prime minister's country residence – is joined by Jim Pickard, David Sheppard, and Robert Shrimsley to discuss the dynamics of the ‘special relationship', the £150bn tech prosperity deal, and whether the prime minister managed to move the dial on the president's peace keeping efforts. Plus: the panel looks forward to the Liberal Democrat party conference this weekend.

President Donald Trump has been honoured with a second state visit to the UK. He had a stay at Windsor castle, met Esther's sister and took a trip to Chequers. But what would have given him a more realistic reflection of Great Britain? Join a queue, attend A&E, get stuck in a traffic jam…? In his column last week, Giles incurred the wrath of Times readers…again. He wrote about the inflated guesstimates of the numbers attending the Tommy Robinson march.

Die Amerikaanse president, Donald Trump het tydens 'n nuuskonferensie saam met die Britse Eerste Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, by Chequers gesê, "Putin het hom werklik in die steek gelaat". Volgens Starmer het Putin die laaste paar dae "sy werklike kleure gewys" en sê hulle moet druk op die Russiese president plaas. Trump sê hy is baie teleurgesteld dat hy nog nie die oorlog in Oekraïne kon beeïndig nie:

ABC Halts 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' After Charlie Kirk Remarks; Starmer Hosts Trump for Trade Talks | NTD Good Morning ABC has cancelled “Jimmy Kimmel Live” after Kimmel's remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination drew backlash from political leaders and the Federal Communications Commission. The move followed public outrage over reactions to Kirk's death, leading to firings nationwide. Vice President JD Vance has called the public celebration of Kirk's death disgusting.After a day of pageantry with the British Royal Family on Wednesday, President Donald Trump is focusing on trade talks and politics with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday. The pair will be at Chequers, the Prime Minister's country home, where they plan to sign a technology prosperity deal. The British government also announced more than $200 billion of investment from U.S. companies.Three police officers are dead and two more are injured after a shooting in southern Pennsylvania.

Kitty Donaldson, Chief Political Commentator at The i Paper, reports on Trump's second UK state visit, where he is meeting with Keir Starmer at the Prime Minister's country home, Chequers.

Barry Lenihan, RTÉ Reporter

After yesterday's pomp and pageantry at Windsor, today the U.S. President gets down to business, meeting with Prime Minister - Keir Starmer - at Chequers.  Sam and Anne look at what's on the agenda and what the leaders might be forced to talk about, ranging from the recognition of a Palestinian state to their nation's associations with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  Away from the state visit, Sam also has some intel on government exercises and more on the dynamics between the PM and his chief of staff. 

Overnight, the late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was literally cancelled - taken off air and his show suspended, for what his ABC network bosses called "insensitivity" over Charlie Kirk's death. The firing came after comments from the broadcast regulator suggesting he would revoke licences if the show wasn't stopped. Are media companies now complicit in Trump's plan to silence them? And why isn't anyone in MAGA calling out this version of cancel culture now? Later, we are with Trump and Starmer in the Chequers press conference as they face questions on Epstein, Mandelson, Putin and Gaza.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Police officers carry out security searches outside the Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, on Monday, ahead of the state visit of US President Donald Trump.周一，在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普国事访问前夕，英国英格兰温莎镇的温莎城堡外，警方正在开展安全搜查工作。United States President Donald Trump was due to arrive in the United Kingdom on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit, with police saying they have prepared for "every eventuality" in their security operation.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普定于周二抵达英国，开启其史无前例的第二次国事访问。英国警方表示，已为安保行动做好“应对各种可能情况”的准备。The president and first lady Melania Trump are being hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, the historic royal residence, about 40 kilometers west of London.特朗普总统与第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普将由英国国王查尔斯三世和王后卡米拉在温莎城堡接待。温莎城堡是具有历史意义的王室居所，位于伦敦以西约40公里处。On Wednesday, the president will be treated to the customary display of full royal pageantry, including a carriage procession and state banquet. On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host Trump at Chequers, his countryside retreat in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London.周三，特朗普将出席传统的全套王室礼仪活动，包括马车巡游和国宴。周四，英国首相基尔·斯塔默将在其位于伦敦西北部白金汉郡的乡间别墅契克斯接待特朗普。Police in the UK say they are "content" with their security plans and are prepared to respond to a potential "very high threat level".英国警方表示，对当前安保计划“满意”，并已做好应对潜在“极高威胁级别”的准备。"This is a significant policing and security operation, as would be expected for a state visit of the president of the United States," Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt of the Thames Valley Police told reporters on Monday.泰晤士河谷警察局助理局长克里斯蒂安·邦特周一告诉记者：“正如人们对美国总统国事访问的预期，这是一项重大的警务与安保行动。”"We have planned a very comprehensive policing and security operation that has taken into consideration just about every eventuality," he added.他补充道：“我们制定了一套非常全面的警务与安保方案，几乎考虑到了所有可能发生的情况。”Having originally planned to stay in the UK until Friday, Trump's trip has since been shortened, due to the president's schedule, and his visit will now end on Thursday.特朗普原本计划在英国停留至周五，但由于总统日程安排原因，此次行程已缩短，访问将于周四结束。It is the first time Trump has met with Charles since he became king, but a second state visit is unusual as second-term US presidents are typically offered only tea or lunch with the monarch. Trump made his first full state visit to the UK in 2019, when he met Queen Elizabeth II.这是查尔斯三世登基后，特朗普首次与其会面。不过，美国总统一任期内进行两次国事访问并不常见——通常情况下，美国连任总统与英国君主的会面仅为茶叙或午餐。特朗普首次对英国进行完整国事访问是在2019年，当时他会见了英国女王伊丽莎白二世。This UK visit comes two months after Trump made a private trip to Scotland, where he met Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, and opened a new luxury golf course. Locals had complained about heavy policing that cost taxpayers' money during his trip to Scotland.此次访问英国的两个月前，特朗普曾对苏格兰进行私人访问。期间，他会见了斯塔默、欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩以及苏格兰首席大臣约翰·斯温尼，并为一座新的豪华高尔夫球场揭幕。当时，当地民众曾抱怨其访问期间的大规模安保行动耗费了纳税人资金。Key issues核心议题Trade, Ukraine and Gaza are likely to top Thursday's agenda for talks when Trump meets Starmer. They may also discuss the recent dismissal of Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to Washington, over his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.周四特朗普与斯塔默会谈时，贸易、乌克兰和加沙问题可能会成为首要议题。双方还可能讨论英国前驻美大使彼得·曼德尔森近期被解职一事——曼德尔森因过去与已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦存在关联而被免职。A spokesperson for Starmer told reporters on Monday that the prime minister "sees this state visit squarely through the lens of delivering for working people", citing US investment pledged over the weekend to create 1,800 jobs in Britain and a civil nuclear partnership that could lower energy prices.斯塔默的发言人周一告诉记者，首相“完全从为劳动人民谋福祉的角度看待此次国事访问”。该发言人还提及，上周末美国已承诺在英国投资以创造1800个就业岗位，且双方将建立民用核能合作伙伴关系，这一合作有望降低能源价格。Senior US officials said on Monday that US and UK plan to unveil more than $10 billion in economic deals during the visit.美国高级官员周一表示，美英计划在此次访问期间公布总额超100亿美元的经济合作协议。The package is expected to include a three-pillar trade arrangement: a new partnership to bolster both countries' tech sectors, expanded cooperation on civil nuclear power, and deeper collaboration on defense technologies, according to a briefing with reporters.据一场记者吹风会透露，该协议套餐预计包含一项“三大支柱”贸易安排：一是建立新合作伙伴关系以加强两国科技产业；二是扩大民用核能领域合作；三是深化国防技术领域协作。On Tuesday, Google announced plans to invest $6.8 billion in the UK over the next two years for infrastructure and scientific research, including a new data center near London.周二，谷歌宣布计划未来两年在英国投资68亿美元，用于基础设施建设与科学研究，其中包括在伦敦附近新建一座数据中心。Also waiting for Trump in London is opposition.在伦敦，特朗普还将面临民众抗议。A network of more than 50 trade unions, charities, and advocacy groups plans to assemble on Wednesday in central London, before marching to Parliament Square.由50多个工会、慈善机构和倡议组织组成的联盟计划于周三在伦敦市中心集结，随后向议会广场行进。UK and US senior officialsn.英美高级官员/ˌjuː ˈkeɪ ənd ˌjuː ˈes ˈsiːniə ˈɒfɪʃlz/protest groups (trade unions, charities, advocacy groups)n.抗议团体（工会、慈善机构、倡议组织）/ˈprəʊtest ɡruːps (treɪd ˈjuːniənz, ˈtʃærətiz, ˈædvəkəsi ɡruːps)/

Tommy Meskill, London Correspondent, reports on Taoiseach Micheál Martin's meeting with the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers this morning.

Host Natalie Grueninger welcomes historian Helene Harrison to explore how Anne Boleyn crafted her image and how it was reshaped after her death. They discuss Anne's coronation symbolism, self-fashioning, and efforts by Henry VIII's court to win public favour. The conversation examines key portraits and artefacts—from the Hever Rose portrait and the Chequers ring to the 1534 medal—and the ongoing debates around their dating and identification. Helen traces contemporary reactions at home and abroad, Anne's reappearance in Elizabeth I's reign, and the clash between Nicholas Sander and John Foxe. She then follows Anne's evolving legacy through Stuart drama, Victorian myth‑making, and modern screen portrayals, including Anne of the Thousand Days, The Tudors, Wolf Hall, and Six the Musical. Helene also shares details of her new book, The Many Faces of Anne Boleyn, teases a forthcoming study of Henry VIII's Great Matter, and offers a lighthearted Tudor-themed reading recommendation.  Visit Helene's blog https://tudorblogger.com/author/tudorblogger/ Find out more about your host at https://www.nataliegrueninger.com Support Talking Tudors on Patreon

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi's London Mission: Trade Meets Royalty It was a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora—and a pivotal handshake in British countryside diplomacy. PM Narendra Modi landed in London for a two-day visit focused on formalizing the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, a deal three years in the making. Hosted by newly elected UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two leaders are expected to finalize an FTA that could eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, while opening India to more British whisky, cars, and luxury goods. Commerce ministers Piyush Goyal and Jonathan Reynolds are likely to sign the deal in their presence. With $55 billion in bilateral trade and nearly 1,000 Indian companies in the UK, the partnership runs deep. India is also a major investor, with $20 billion in British ventures. Later, Modi is set to meet King Charles III, blending hard talks with soft diplomacy. Next stop: the Maldives, in a potential diplomatic reset after recent strain. Mayday in Ahmedabad: IndiGo's Engine Scare It was a nerve-wracking moment on the tarmac. IndiGo flight 6E 7966, heading from Ahmedabad to Diu, aborted takeoff after one engine caught fire during its takeoff roll on July 23. The ATR-76 aircraft carried 60 passengers. Pilots issued a “Mayday” and returned to the bay safely. All passengers were evacuated without injury. IndiGo cited a technical snag and promised thorough checks. This scare comes just a day after another IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore also reported a technical fault before landing. No casualties were reported, but the back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over aircraft maintenance during India's busy monsoon season. Visa Thaw: India Reopens Doors to Chinese Tourists After four tense years post-Galwan, India has officially resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals, in what's being seen as a significant diplomatic thaw. The announcement was made quietly via WeChat by the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Chinese travelers can now begin applying online starting July 24. This follows the recent restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and months of border de-escalation, including the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan and a flurry of bilateral talks. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently met his counterpart Wang Yi, urging the end of restrictive trade measures like China's rare earth export curbs—key for India's EV and agri sectors. From 200,000 visas in 2019 to just 2,000 last year, this move aims to reboot people-to-people ties. Trump Sends More Weapons to Ukraine—$322M Worth Amid escalating Russian attacks, the U.S. has cleared a $322 million arms package for Ukraine. The deal includes $150 million for U.S. armored vehicle support and $172 million for surface-to-air missile systems. The announcement comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused other aid to assess U.S. stockpiles—surprising the White House. President Donald Trump, under rising pressure from isolationists, has since pivoted, declaring: “They have to be able to defend themselves.” Trump's new workaround? Let European allies buy U.S. arms and transfer them to Kyiv. Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $67 billion in military support. Still, NATO countries in Eastern Europe are reluctant to part with their own advanced defense systems, despite mounting urgency.

Very few personal items of the Tudor monarchs survive to this day, but one that does, and is exceptionally special, is known as the chequers ring. A tiny and stunning pearl, diamond and ruby covered ring which hides a secret, for it opens up to reveal two tiny faces on the inside, one of Elizabeth I and another of another woman, who is very likely to be Anne Boleyn. To discuss this remarkable survivor from Tudor England, I am thrilled to welcome a true legend in the world of history and academia, Professor Susan Doran, onto the podcast. We discuss the rings provenance, the symbolism of the jewels and of course, debate the evidence to support our joint belief that the ring does indeed show images of Anne and Elizabeth - Mother and Daughter.

This tiny mother-of-pearl ring, once owned by Elizabeth I, holds a fascinating secret. Inside its locket are two miniature portraits: one of the queen herself and the other of a woman in 1530s fashion wearing a French hood. But who is this mysterious figure?   Could it be Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn? Or perhaps her stepmother, Catherine Parr? Some even suggest it's a younger version of Elizabeth. Theories abound, but the truth may surprise you.   Join me as we dive into this Tudor treasure, unravel the clues, and explore the historical significance of this stunning artefact.   #ElizabethI #ChequersRing #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #HistoryMystery #HistoricalJewelry

When director and actor Ian Michael first saw the stage play of Picnic at Hanging Rock, adapted by playwright Tom Wright, it was as a theatre attendant. Now, he is directing it at the Opera House for the Sydney Theatre Company. The Noongar theatre-maker has forged an exciting career performing deeply personal stories alongside innovative productions. His production of the gothic story of the Victorian school girls who go missing on St Valentine's Day, interrogates a colonial nightmare and its fixture in the Australian imagination.In 1954, model Shirley Beiger shot and killed her boyfriend outside the ritzy Chequers nightclub in Sydney. The case was a media sensation, especially when Beiger got off without any charges. It has inspired the cabaret A Model Murder staged inside the Darlinghurst Court House, where the original trial took place. Performers Amber McMahon and Maverick Newman give us a taste of the court action, along with writer Sheridan Harbridge.In the hit Edinburgh Fringe show, Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen, Samuel Barnett is a stand-up comedian regaling us at breakneck speed about his unfulfilling love life and very hectic brain. When a new and dazzling man comes into his life, everything could change, except for his new partner's extremely inconvenient medical condition... but is everything as it seems? Sam and director Matthew Xia join Michael to unpack this charismatic character, written by Marcello Dos Santos.

Over a Chequers banquet of sole in shrimp sauce, fillet of beef, and caramelized oranges, Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev met for the first time on 16th December, 1984.  While their ideologies were worlds apart, Thatcher appreciated Gorbachev's frankness and imagination. The Soviet leader, meanwhile, seemed equally captivated by Thatcher's unapologetic firmness and sharp intellect. Their rapport formed the foundation of a relationship that would influence global politics profoundly, with Thatcher famously declaring the Russian "a man we can do business with". In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explore the rest of the Gorbachevs' holiday itinerary; explain how Neil Kinnock killed the vibes; and reveal what Denis and Raisa got up to while their spouses were deep in conversation…  Further Reading: • ‘Gorbachev and Thatcher: The Chequers meeting that melted the Cold War ice' (The Times, 2022): https://www.thetimes.com/article/e9c5616c-2942-11ed-9092-6adde03bf612 • 'Political leadership in the Cold War's ending: Thatcher and the turn to engagement with the Soviet Union' (British Politics and Policy at LSE, 2020): https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/thatcher-end-of-cold-war/ • ‘Margaret Thatcher would 'do business with' Mikhail Gorbachev - Daily Mail' (BBC News, 1984): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhl680YRT6g Learn more about your ad choices.

I must come clean, Rachel is not green fingered, but she has had an eventful life and talks about visiting her high achieving brothers garden at Chequers while he was PM.  We are later joined by her husband Ivo Dawney, who is a keen gardener, and was a director and consultant to the National Trust. He tells us about visiting Chevening House, which was the home of Boris while he was foreign secretary, and about how he persuaded the National Trust to open up the Big Brother House and garden to get more National Trust members visiting London properties. #bigbrother #nationaltrust

Recently I was interviewed on the popular British podcast A Life More Wild which interviews prominent (mostly British) folk about what matters in life WHILE they hike in a favourite locale in the UK. It's run by the outdoor holiday company Canopy & Stars, which is part of the Alastair Sawday Group (they publish a massive range of hiking guides).For this episode, we do a circuit track in the Chiltern Hills (“Area of Outstanding Beauty”) in Buckinghamshire, about an hour out of London. I chose this one because it starts and finishes at a pub, passes by a very cute church that serves tea and scones on weekends and does a loop around the Prime Minister's holiday residence - Chequers. I share my various theories, tips and tricks for hiking in the chat amid birdsong and churchbells.SHOW NOTESHere's the trail I did.

Why are there chess Grandmasters, but not Grandmasters of noughts and crosses (otherwise known as tic-tac-toe)? It is because chess is “harder” – but what do we really mean by that? Answering that question leads us to develop the idea of mathematical complexity, which is a measure of how ‘big' a game is. We'll look at the complexity of popular games, and ask: what is the hardest game of all time?A lecture by Sarah Hart recorded on 10 October 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/maths-gamesGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

From PM's holidaying at Chequers to the salacious escapades of Downton Abbey, country houses hold a special place in the public imagination. While these very big houses in the country are often considered to be relics of the past, their influence looms over modern politics.  Dr. Kasia Tomasiewicz speaks to Professor Kate Retford, head of school of historic studies at Birbeck University, to find out how these country homes guide our political climate.  “The relationship between the country house and politics goes back for centuries.”  “I'm not sure how many people would really like to live in one of these places.” "We can use these properties to tell some of the stories from history that they may not know."    Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Kasia Tomasiewicz .
