"Lord Patton, Chris patten, and when he was during his campaign to be president, and he really stormed the members of parliament, house commons, house of lords, there were all the prime ministers were there. Then, of course, he went to Berlin. And in the parliament there, he had this extraordinary address to the parliamentarians. On the nature of justice, the role of conscience in society. And the need to recover, as he said, you know, the what we call the natural law. The instinct for goodness and truth that is deep in our hearts. So we live in a bunker at the moment, and we exclude the light, the light of gods, gods, illumination, and we live in artificial light that break open the bunker. He's telling the magicians and look God is the only one that actually can give you the right direction into the future. God and the moral law, he has written to our beings. So he spoke to different people at different levels, and he could do it. And he also, of course, chose a right to say, to speak during his Wednesday audiences, mostly on the great saints of the church, right from the apostles right through the whole 2000 years. Because that's one of his main convictions that the two greatest apologies ultimately the two most convincing apologies for the church for the faith for Christianity are her saints and her art. So it also, of course, they're not just apologies for the church. They are what inspires us to be Christian. Ultimately theology has its place, but nothing compares to the example of a great saint. And all the saints are there, the way to deceit for us, that above all, but also to inspire us. And to give us the courage to go on and to face the world with joy at peace and to bring joy and peace into the world. So as you said, he had this capacity to speak to anyone whose mind was open, I would say, be they scholars, intellectuals, be they ordinary housewives or workers, he could speak to be their children. Above all, as I said, his writings, which are so rich, they will be a source of inspiration for collusions for generations to come. Yeah, there are many people who have been asking me recently. Well, where would I start? And depending on who they are in generally, I think for anybody, ignatius press, I know, has been able to put along with other publishers have done this, but ignatius has done a nice job of putting those audiences. Yes. So that that's a great doorway. And there was a series of audiences right towards the end in which they pretty much were called the school of prayer. Where he entered into this great, how can I say it? His relationship with the word was a relationship with a person of Christ. Exactly. And that's how he did his biblical scholarship. He didn't dissect it.

"Which will get him over the threshold, which means if that is true. And if Rishi sunak, the reports regarding his support of over 100 MPs is true, then there will have to be a runoff. Well, that's true, but I mean, I don't know the facts behind that. But either way, if they're the two people that make it through to the final two, the members will have a choice. I will urge all members out there. Vote for the person who moves to a series of measures that going to bring forward that calm competence we need. I think Reese's tuna can do that. I think he's the only candidate can do that. As you know, he's not officially declared his candidacy yet, despite the evidence that he does have significant support. What do you think he's waiting for? Yeah, that's true. Maybe jumping the gun maybe she's doing it. I think you will. I don't think Boris Johnson's declared formally I think pen is the only one to declare so far. The party's not just looking to the next prime minister. They're also looking to the next elections. And as you know, Boris Johnson remains very popular across the country regarded as a very affable politician, never mind all the mistakes that he's had to apologize for, whereas Rishi sunak is regarded as a very wealthy man. Without the kind of political touch that mister Johnson has. Well, I don't think the wealth should count against him. If he's been successful in his life, I don't think that's a bad thing, personally. What we'll be judged by the next election will be judged what we've done over these two years. That's the most important thing. And that was a conservative MP Kevin hollinger in support of Rishi sunak. So there you have it two very different views of the best way forward. The best person to lead the party and indeed the country. Well, let's turn to George Parker, political editor at the Financial Times. George Parker, is it fair to say it will be a tight race between Boris Johnson and Rishi sunak? Is that what it is now? Well, I think the big question tonight really is whether Boris Johnson can get those 100 nominations. Now it's true that people in his camp say that a hundred Tory MPs have indicated they'll support him. But so far, the people who've actually gone public is only around 50, 55, something like that. So a lot of people hiding their lights under a bushel if they are coming up for Boris Johnson. If Boris Johnson gets to a hundred and if he gets on to the ballot paper, then I think it would be very interesting indeed because if you get some if you get some sort of final two shortlist with which he soon act and it goes out to the past of membership, we all know that the party members adore Boris Johnson, they feel that he was unfairly treated by this prime minister. They think Rishi sunak was partly responsible for Boris Johnson's downfall. So if he gets to that point, Boris Johnson would probably win and then things would get very interesting indeed. Well, for people listening to this program, who have heard of a prime minister forced to resign after scandals, a prime minister, former prime minister, who is under investigation by a parliamentary standards committee and yet you hear MP David Morris describing Boris Johnson as the only adult in the room. How do you explain that? Well, possibly because he's delusional. I mean, I think, look, people have extremely short memories in British politics. The reason Boris Johnson was forced to step down in July was because he was deemed by over 60 ministerial colleagues to be unsuitable to hold high office in this country, not trustworthy, low public, low standards, and you mentioned the fact that he's still facing an inquiry by the house common standards privileges committee into whether he lied to MPs about the party affair. If he's found guilty of doing that, he'll be suspended from the House of Commons. Then he can face a by election. And then he could be out of parliament within possibly three or four months. In which case, the Conservative Party would be looking for yet another prime minister. I mean, it's an incredible situation. Your listeners overseas will look at this and think, what on earth are they talking about? This is a country which used to be a stable democracy with regard to where people made common sense decisions. Some of the things that people are talking about at the moment in British politics thank you to most people outside would seem absolutely bizarre. But that is the way it is. And if Boris Johnson and Rishi sunak do end up both being on the ballots on Monday, there are those who say, well, listen, can the two of you try to find a way to work together, but that also seems politically impossible. The film there are reports as I mentioned there that the two of them are meeting tonight to discuss whether they can come together and form a partnership in some way. But the problem is one of them has got to be prime minister. And the conversation I think will go that Boris Johnson will say to see that this is what we've heard from Boris Johnson's aides that come on Rishi, if he gets down to the party membership, we all know that I'm going to beat you. So you might as well fold now. And Richard sooner will say, well, hang on a sec. I've got a 120 odd declared backers. You've got 55. I've got to wait for you to prove you've actually got the numbers to even enter the contest before I even have this conversation. So this conversation is going to be really fascinating. And it will decide not just the fate of the Conservative Party, but I think probably the economic future of the country as well. Something to watch George Parker to leave it

"But the Chinese vice president is going to attend the funeral, but also the awkward question of Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. He's expected to come, but we don't know whether he's going to show up. I mean, this is going to be such an interesting week of leader watching. It's so interesting because the only country is officially that can't come of those that the Britain doesn't have diplomatic relations with. So that's Russia Belarus and Myanmar. Afghanistan as well. They're not invited. They're not invited as well. But then countries that have pretty bad relationships with Iran like Nicaragua, they are Argentina, they are being invited and in a small way and that delegates from their embassies will come. And then of course, yeah, it basically is going to be one of the biggest collections of world leaders ever. There's going to be a reception this weekend and then there's delegations are being invited in to see the vigil. So what's happened with the Chinese is that because MPs last year voted to decry what was happening with Uyghurs as a genocide, a certain MPs have been sanctioned for that on the front of their select committee and so they have been sanctioned by China and so in response those MPs have got the house common speaker to block the Chinese delegation from the embassy going into the lying in state. So embassy officials are being invited into that this weekend to go and witness it. So the Chinese have been blocked from entering the parliamentary estate, including their ambassador here, but Xi Jinping, who was invited we believe, has delegated it to his vice president Wang hushan. He hasn't left China really in the last three years apart from this conference and he was talking about with Vladimir Putin over the last few days. So we've always unlikely he would come. But then yeah, MBS is going to be a really interesting one because I think it's saying that he's coming to pay his respects. I mean, there's no way that they can't have him here and they're not bringing him into the funeral. I think they just wanting to kind of, they just hope it all slightly maybe slip under the radar that all of a sudden he turns up on Monday and goes in and everyone will be kind of distracted by everything that's going on. I think it will be fascinating that what this means with him is there's not clarity on this yet for security reasons, but as I understand it, if you're like top tier G 7, you don't get to go. You don't go on the fun. You don't need to get going on the phone bus. You get to bring your own vehicle in. You don't have to go on the diplomatic tour from Chelsea where they are gathering in secret somewhere to go on this. But I mean, yeah, MBS on the bus would just be hilarious. But what is wonderful is apparently this is dividing into I mean, goodness knows he's going to do the list for who's on who's bus. I mean, you've got to be careful about who's sitting next to him on the bus when you have world leaders. But you also have this idea that apparently some quite a few European leaders are quite happy to get on the bus. Of course. But there are other nations. Very happy with public transport. They're saying getting on a bus is a challenge to your masculinity. Yeah, I mean, then we know that president Erdoğan of turkey is basically through the dummy and when he was told he couldn't drive up and wouldn't get into bus with others. I just as well. You know that within minutes of seeing the footage of the bus coming, someone's going to meme it overlaid with the wenger buses coming. And that is going to be great.

"And team ninja's position, right? Yeah. They basically invented The Rock hard kind of like 3D combat game. Yeah. And they practically invented the genre of like badass, Asian heroes, and it got stolen away from them by all these other games. To me, this feels like them reclaiming their territory. Well, and that's kind of my thing is this game is gonna be, I'm like, it looks really, really cool. It looks very pretty. The combat looks really fun. I hate that game sometimes have to live in the shadow of other games, but I don't know, I'm sold. I think it looks really cool. There was something about the combat in this game that immediately struck me as just incredibly cool. The camera pulling back behind the player. Like John was saying, this is a studio that's been they've mastered this craft before anybody else even attempted it. Plus there's some really interesting stuff going on in terms of traversal. You got that glider. There was an American flag at the beginning of this, kind of like tucked down an alley, and so I wonder if you're going to get into some sort of us versus them type thing. Where them is the U.S. basically. And you're reclaiming areas and environments and streets and stuff like that. But yeah, the combat looks awesome. This is a PlayStation 5 exclusive. So exclusive. Yeah. That's right. Jada, what about you? It looks like a Jada game. The over the top action looks like it's going to be very twitch reflexes for those combos and counters. The little flying kunai throw, like kunai on a chain, throw, and whip into somebody from that bridge in that scene. Yeah, this game is definitely up there on my list for whenever we're gonna get it next year. I think they said 2023 or do they just show it? I don't remember anything they showed said 2023, right? Except for God of War. But yeah, no, this one's definitely up there on my list. I was a huge ghost of sushi my fan. We talked about the, I think we talked about the platinum trophy for last week on beyond and to like this one, it's just ready to be added to the collection when it drops. Speaking of Jada games. Yes. I'm not going to give you tekken yet. Okay. I know you want it. But that's not what we're getting. All right. Let's talk about lack of dragon. Ishin, which is all your favorite Yakuza characters you know and love, just in funeral Japan. Great. Yeah, sure. Awesome. Time traveling yakuzas. I love it. Let's do it. What are your thoughts on what is this? I am so out of the Yakuza loop. Well, conceptually this feels like the way they treat Mario characters where they're like, it's a stage play, and they can show up wherever they want. So I like that like just taking characters and themes and even story beats that you recognize from Yakuza games and dropping them in a completely different era is super creative. Like I actually, I mean, this is a serious there's been what 7 8 of them now spin offs and stuff like that and then you get the judgment games. Like I'm totally cool with this studio going, hey, let's do something completely different. Like especially if it's just the same four streets as every year. They were doing another I thought they were going to lean into the humor again like a dragon, but it's pretty clear that's not the case. Yeah. Yeah, this is hyper violent, which is fun as hell. I mean, and I think it's really important for these studios to be able to stretch their legs and do different things like this so that their games don't become stale over time. We've seen that with other franchises where they're forced to release the same game time after time sequel after sequel and we get tired of them. I'm sure they get tired of looking at the same assets and building up on just building upon the same thing. They're like, let's do something completely new and this is what it is. So this is their chance to do that. So I'm excited to see what they do with this. I feel like Sega's got the hang of how to talk about this as well. Remember when the original Yakuza came out, they were trying to position it against Grand Theft Auto as much as anything. It was kind of like, this is our edgy gang thing and it's been like a role playing game, but it's kind of like GTA. And now they've been like, nope, we know exactly what it is. And we can do whatever we want with it. Now they're like, it's sexy river city ransom, and then the first game they showed, something John called immediately was tekken, but we're not going to talk about that yet. We're going to talk about the game that so we have those games death loop and force spoken that they just seem like they show up at everything. Right. And that's becoming Hogwarts legacy. Right. Awkward legacy for better or worse, just won't go away, but we got a spooky trailer and a PlayStation exclusive quest. Meet something. Something? They showed it for like a second. Or something. Yeah, I think that was it. Who was excited for Hogwarts legacy? I've never been every time we post anything about this game. It goes nuts. And when we did the, we put all of the houses common rooms up on social media last week and both of them got a gazillion views. People are super excited about it. Part of me wants to play it just for the hype, but I read the first four books and I think I saw the first movie and the 5th movie. So, you know, it is what it is. Okay, let's talk about checking. Yeah. Started with tekken. The second it started, John was like, is this tekken? I don't even think it was a quarter of a second. John was like, technically it was the G on the thing for the people.

"From UBS all around the world. Welcome back it is 8 11 in the morning in zorich 7 11 here in London where it's almost over it being the seemingly interminable process of electing a new leader of the governing Conservative Party Boris Johnson tended his resignation to long months ago since then Britain has endured an election campaign unprecedented in living memory. There have been nationally televised debates and acres of newsprint and digital real estate dedicated to the battle between former Chancellor Rishi sunak and current foreign secretary Liz truss, but only members of the Conservative Party can vote. A self selecting group largely made up of elderly white men. The whole sherrard will grind to a conclusion just after midday today. That's when the overwhelming majority of Britons who aren't Conservative Party members will find out the identity of the country's new prime minister. Join now by MP Tobias Albert, he's the chair of the House commons defense select committee, and we've also roped in political reporter Vincent mccabe, whose monocle 24s regular Westminster watcher Vincent first of all is Westminster all a quiver with a excitement. Well, I mean, this result seems pretty certain consistently in the polling Liz truss has been at around the 65% mark. Obviously, you mentioned that electorate of just around a 170,000 in the country of 65 million people. So unless there has been some huge shock, everyone is pretty much just expecting Liz trust to walk this today. She'll find out at around 1220 or ten minutes before this announcement starts. She then expected to give a short speech. We'll take no questions and then go about finalizing her cabinet and getting ready for a special trip to Scotland tomorrow. It has been an extremely odd process. The likes of which we have not seen before, because we've not had a prime minister resign. And then an election from the Conservative Party membership for a new leader when the Conservative Party has been in government like this because the setup of the Conservative Party, the rule changes over the years and the fact that Theresa May walked into the job more or less. This is an odd one, isn't it? Well, we did have this kind of election with Boris Johnson. Actually, there is. There has been an issue. The growing Brady who has run the chairman of the 1922 committee has criticized the length of the gone on for. I think many people frustrated that it feels like we've lost the whole summer of key decision making when it comes to the cost of living crisis when it comes to winter fuel bills, but it was a very embarrassing set this timetable himself. So it is a bit of a one that I think they're going to have to look at whether or not they go about this process in the same way again. Tobias elwood MP well, you're Conservative Party member, but have you got the whip back yet Tobias? No. It's not my priority at the moment, given exactly what you've been speaking about. And just to add, I think we do need to review this process. It does seem a little archaic and out of date. There is a requirement occasionally to replace a leader when in government, but this is not the way to do it. We've essentially put all those problems domestic problems on hold for an entire summer to the frustration of the British people. And I would add to that, there's an absence of international leadership, not just from Britain, but also from Germany from France and the United States, which means that we're not leaning into the aggression of Russia and to some extent China as well. There's no international strategy. So the storm clouds growing once again in Eastern Europe. And we're not showing the leadership that normally Britain provides. So I'm pleased that this election is finally over. I think there will be a sense of relief that we can now get back to focusing on the very important issues that they want us to do. You've published a manifesto in a way of how you think things could go forward here. I'm not sure if this manifesto is exactly the word. It's a warning that you're saying the tone conduct and positioning of our party over the next couple of weeks will determine our prospects in 2024, which is when the next election needs to be called by. You're clearly concerned about those prospects. Yeah, I mean, I spent a few days just looking back at some of the big crises that parameters faced in the past. And the ones that we can remember, the names, the Giants, the big beasts are the ones that came in with nobody had any expectation, but they not only faced the crisis and solved them. They actually then moved Britain forward and then looked at, well, how did they achieve that? They achieved that because they had solidarity. They had a coalition that works within the party itself. They did not go tribal. And that then was seen by the British people who then supported them. It's all very well having solutions. But if you don't have the team, the command to develop to then implement these, then you're going to be in trouble. And don't forget the timetable is short. We've got two years to actually make a dent into the massive problems that we face. So you go back to disraeli to Baldwin, even Thatcher, so certainly Churchill. They did this through from the center ground and not moving to the right, which often is the case when governments are parties are in trouble. And you have a specifically called for a revival of what you call Tory centrism, led by somebody who figure you call a party unifier, but to quote Patrick magoon in the prison. You won't get it. Put that article out yesterday in order to sort of make the mark to make it a case so we don't forget. So it's the makeup of everybody's expecting to this trust to win. It's the composition of the cabinet now. Bringing together all the talents from our party, if she simply plucks characters from a particular wing, then as I say, I think we will afraid end up in opposition. And we end up with an opposition. It won't be because labor has earned it. They're not really in a position. We still have a large majority. It's because they were to come up with their own coalition with the Lib Dems, which then couldn't put us in opposition for quite some time, I think. Stay with us Tobias, our Vincent, I want to get your view on what Tobias has raised here. The issue of unity in the Tory party and whether they can present a proposition to British voters which says yes, we have somebody who's going to govern for the whole of the country and not just a 170,000 Conservative Party members. Yes, I think two things to pick up from, but what bias has said, which I really agree with. It hasn't really been framed enough this summer with the cost of living crisis with all these fears about rising energy build just about why this sacrifice is important. Yes, it perhaps is too drastic for British people when you compare us to the likes of France and Germany where they have more control on their energy market. But it was interesting yesterday hearing First Lady Elena zelensky on BBC breakfast talking about the sacrifices of countries making how guests was British people are sort of counting the pennies. They are counting the cost of life. And I think that's been something absent in the leadership on the international stage from Boris Johnson and perhaps mother leaders as well. Just saying to people contextualizing, yes, you are making the sacrifice. But it is helping the war effort. It is going to punish Russia and we are making strides in the water help them. But I think when it comes to the Conservative Party, yes, it's much of the past 6 7 years Brexit has been the major kind of fault line in the party. And it was already a crack in it for decades before. Whether or not we're now past that enough that Liz truss can try and unite the party around us. I mean, she's got really 18 months.

"There was a unanimous agreement that the commissioner was right in passing a broken the rules in an egregious way in terms of paid advocacy. So the rules have been in place for a while, and there is a debate about whether they could be improved and whether as our own passions argued there should be a formal appeals process. But I think it's important to say that until the other and case came along, didn't hear all that much from Boris Johnson talking about appeals processes and all the rest of it. So the timing, as you say, there looks, it looks really bad. On that, then I suppose, what is your sense of the longevity of this scandal? I mean, is it the kind of thing that will blow over once we all get over to the next few days or will this cause lasting damage to Boris Johnson's reputation? Well, his one of these things that's incremental, I think, to be honest, and I think it's fair to say that people don't select Boris Johnson as prime minister and he's still remarkably popular in the country, of course, because I think he's going to be a Paragon of virtue and high standards. In a way, in the price with Boris Johnson, this sort of thing comes along. So what sometimes happens in politics and particularly British politics is that you have a sort of these sort of things becoming incremental and people in the end just get fed up with the whole thing and think the governing party is in some way losing touch with decent standards and so on. But I don't think we're there yet. I think probably the most significant damage to Boris Johnson is the relationship between himself and his party because you've got 250 ods who are forced to go and vote for the shambles on Wednesday. One MP Peter bohn and the house common said to say that his office had been vandalized overnight because of the way he voted. There'll be a load of Tory MPs or was received tons of abuse overnight for the way they voted in that vote. And I think for that to be then reversed, some sort of casual way 24 hours later will really infuriate those MPs because they will bear the pay the political price. Their opponents are already putting stuff up on social media saying your NT voted for sleeves. They'll be furious. George, thank you very much that was the FT's political editor George Parker.

The International Criminal Court says it will investigate where the crimes against humanity were committed during Venezuela's crackdown on anti government protests in 2017. Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro says that his government respects the decision to investigate, but does not share it. Today's monocle minute reports that the European Union has openly defied China's warnings about supporting Taiwan by sending a delegation of politicians from the European Parliament to Taipei. You can find out why the move has angered leaders in Beijing by heading to monocle dot com, forward slash minute. The UK government says it will rethink its plans to overhaul the policing of MP's conduct. After a furious backlash from opposition politicians. The Labor Party had described the decision to shake up the sleeves watchdog in order to protect a conservative MP as corruption. We'll have more in the story shortly. And the South African author Damon galgut has won the Booker prize for fiction for his novel the promise. Galat, who was previously nominated for the prize in both 2003 and 2010, said he was humbly grateful to have won. Those are the days headlines, back to Chris. Thank you very much. Emma, now it is never a good look when a political party decides to protect one of its own by basically tearing up the rulebook. As Emma mentioned in the headlines there, here in the UK, prime minister Boris Johnson has faced a barrage of criticism for proposing reforms to an independent system for combating corruption in Westminster. Johnson is accused of proposing the changes to protect a conservative MP Owen Paterson, who repeatedly breached lobbying rules. Opposition leaders vowed to boycott any vote on the proposals and, with even some Tory MPs getting queasy, it looks like the government in the last hour has pulled back from the brink. Is that the end of it? Well, let's get the latest now with the FT's political editor George Parker, George, thanks for joining us. As always, as I mentioned there, there has been an update on this in the past hour. What can face? Well, I think the best word to describe what's happened here today is shambles. It's a political fiasco for Boris Johnson, the prime minister. Basically, what's happened today is the government has realized it's made a huge problem for itself. And Jacob riis modeled the leader of the House of Commons was sent out to basically execute U turn. What does it mean in practice? Well, the government's attempt to rewrite the House of Commons rule book using the mechanism of a conservative dominated committee. That's been abandoned and Jacob Bruce vulgar admitted that this could only possibly be done on a cross party basis. So he's now having to go cap in hand to the opposition parties to try to rescue something from this. And the second thing that's happened this morning is that OM Paterson, the former cabinet minister accused of egregious breaches of the House of Commons rules, who was going to be reprieved under the house commons on the day before on first on Wednesday. Well, now he's been taken out of this whole equation. Jacob Bruce marks admitted that the two things should never have become tangled up. For any new system that comes along won't apply retrospectively and what that means in practice is that our own person has been hung out to dry. We can expect a separate vote on his behavior in the House of Commons quite soon, but the likelihood that it will be suspended for 30 days from the House of Commons. And after that, possibly face a parliamentary violation. So as you say, this looks like the end then for Owen Paterson, but I mean, why was Boris Johnson so tempted to protect one MP in the first place? It seems extraordinary doesn't it that some he would sort of risk his own reputation as prime minister and also the reputation of all those conservative MPs who much against their better judgment will dragoon through the voting lobbies on Wednesday. The fact is that our own person is a brexiteer who's a hardline eurosceptic a former cabinet minister. Who's on good terms with Boris Johnson. And there's also another connection, which is that is The Daily Telegraph connection now. I'm Patterson is a close friend of Charles Moore, the former editor of The Daily Telegraph, Boris Johnson used to work for The Daily Telegraph, and on Tuesday nights, Boris Johnson was dining with Charles bore on the nightly return from the cop 26 summit in Glasgow. And it was only after that dinner that the decision was taken to march all those conservative MPs through the House of Commons, lobbies, essentially to try and save our custom skin. I mean, it really is incredible when you describe it in that fashion. I mean, just to take the other side, I suppose, what are the oversight rules for MPs in the UK? And is there any credence to the idea that they need to be changed? Well, there is some thinking on both sides of the house that the rules could be improved at the moment. There's an independent standards commissioner whose job it is to sort of carry out investigations for the referee if you like. And then his or her report in this case, it's something called Catherine stone is then sent to a panel called the standards committee, which is made up of employees from different parties and some independent lay members and they then decide to what to do with the report produced by the standards commissioner..

"We want to go to a senior home. There is usually some vaccination requirement now to get into these places depending where you are. It should be the same on parliament hill but the small politics of the day is obscuring. The bigger health question that should be the focus of all of these parties. Not just the conservative okay today. You're saying that that it makes sense that everyone who goes house common should be vaccinated and that should be a mandate then. Why are you saying that. The prime is playing politics because he certainly knew that the conservatives would play it this way instead of looking to read some sort of accommodation or having dialogue around how this could be done or looking at moral suasion. He made a direct comment. Too about how. This would be difficult for mr o'toole so he he's playing some politics there but ultimately look the conservatives have to wear this. I think one of the things that erin o'toole should have done was gotten ahead of this and my perspective. Obviously he didn't follow the advice. And i certainly give it to one but if i had to take my advice would have been. Just throw this down now and accept mandatory vaccinations because to the broader public. As we've seen in public opinion data this is a test of credibility it's a test of electability and accountability. Mr till doesn't want this story to continue if it does. It hurts him a little bit. But as i say his bigger concern at the moment is his caucus dynamic because if he can't control that he may not have the opportunity in a year eighteen months from now to go to the canadian people and offer himself as a candidate for prime minister. So you described that as a hornet's nest at he if he doesn't want to lack. How big is that hornets nest i. I think it's big enough that if it was whacked. It could lead to Some unnecessary infighting that he just doesn't need he got a peace accord if you will On the fifth of october when his caucus last man if he wax the hornets nest now and some of those people who grudgingly said he should be given a chance. We'll use this as an indication to say. Hey hey hey he's going too far. He's not listening to us. There are other views in the conservative party that he needs to pay attention to. I wish that same group of people understood math and understood what that math means in their constituencies. Nine out of every ten constituents supports this. You're giving voice to the one constituent out of that ten who doesn't how that electorally beneficial to you to your party. I don't get it. And how does that expand. What mr tool wants. Which is larger tent for his conservative party. well i think. He hopes that we're all subject to another medical trauma at the moment and that's a bit of collective amnesia or people. Forget about this. The challenge for mr o'toole i think would be carol and and i do believe he should be given the opportunity to say. I think he's doing some good things with the conservative party but the challenge for him will now be. How will the house common see it. So as as we all know covered often on as it happens we've had hybrid and we've had a regular return to parliament if there's a hybrid parliament and the only people appearing in the hybrid parliament on on zoom screens are conservative. Mp's because they won't get vaccinated and come to ottawa. That's not a winning proposition. And if you're a constituent these people what are you thinking too. At a certain point you may agree in principle with them but ultimately if everybody has come back to their workplace and your mp is not coming back to his or her workplace. That hurts you and it hurts the party. They represent because it looks like they're disconnected..

This Day In Esoteric Political History
"house commons" Discussed on This Day In Esoteric Political History
"In esoteric. Political history from radio topa. My name is. Jody advocates this day. September fifth nineteen ninety one in the washington. Dc suburb of arlington virginia. A group of activists arrived at the home of north carolina. Senator jesse helms using ladders. Several of them climbed up on the roof of the house and from there. They unfurled a giant piece of fabric. Which was then inflated by their comrades on the front lawn and soon the senators house was surrounded by a giant yellow condom reading a condom to stop unsafe politics. Helms is deadlier than a virus. This stunt this act of protest was led by members of act up a group that worked to raise aids awareness and fight to end the epidemic. And in this particular moment was protesting helms because he was one of the most vocal opponents of funding aids research in addition to being one of the most anti gay members of congress so here to discuss act up versus jesse helms and what you do when you wake up in the morning and there is a giant condom over the house common experience. We've all had as always hemmer of columbia and kelly carta jackson of wealthy. Hello that they're toady. Hey there so listeners. Permission to pause this podcast. And go google jesse helms giant condom house the image search button and you will see what we're talking about here but i will also say let's spend a little time describing exactly what looks like. Let's theater of the mind here but it is quite remarkable visual spectacle So it's this yellow saying over the roof of jesse helms his house. You can't even see the home but you assume that there's a home under there. It's an a leafy suburb I don't know you know. Feel free to jump in at any point. Say there is a mushroom mushroom. Thank you for a tip on the top of it a condom. But maybe a cupcake wait. Everyone cupcakes skelly. It is a it is a. Let's let's let's embrace the language here. It is a two story house which means that. It's relatively squat so there is not much shaft. it is all tip and so one could. Maybe think it's an acorn maybe has a little bit like an acorn sitting on top of a little by that company or something but mushroom mash. Up i think as describing. Yes hopefully picture people's heads they can go google and see how much those those matchup but nevertheless a remarkable stunt full coverage like any good conduct in nicely and as you said you know like a real act of protests around a series issue here and these big bold letter block letters that say a condom to stop unsafe politics. Helms is deadlier than a virus. So you know the message. Even if the visuals and immediately one to one you know the message is very clear it takes balls to do this and so so actually. And i guess maybe let's start with act up right. I mean we've mentioned them briefly on the show before but you know this is very much within the act up. Ethos are these kinds of stunts political theater aggressive tactics. Yeah yeah act up was known dooming. These very extravagant dramatic explicit demonstrations. But they were so effective in giant in public attention and getting people to take note to pause and to at what was what was going on And the serious aspect of this is that people were dying of aids at you know crazy rates and there was basically a standoff politically about how to go about getting people help expedite getting this help as quickly as possible and act up really takes. This stands to get as many people to pay attention to their issue. As possible and to really target people that were the major opponents of this until jesse helms really becomes the probably greatest opponent to aids activism and and lgbtq issues of the day and if we could just kind of paint a picture of what this looks like because today. There's is bipartisan support for funding for aids research and forgetting medicine into people's hands and there's no longer this Same level of stigma around aids and silence around aids but in the nineteen eighties inert early nineteen ninety s. First of all coming from the reagan administration there was a real silence surgeon. General koop With someone who had a lot to say about aids and there were people in the administration who really. You're not going to talk about this. And it's not until nineteen eighty-six that he releases a report that talks about this crisis and this epidemic and the the moral obligation in addition to the scientific and medical obligation that the united states government has to addressing this epidemic. And so act. Up's approach is really important. Because it makes you pay attention to something that so many people weren't paying attention to And they don't want to pay attention exactly and that when they were paying attention to it when people like pat robertson pat buchanan jesse homes william f. buckley junior league there were all of these people who saw aids as righteous punishment for same sex ex And it becomes this thing where they're like. Oh we should tattoo people with aids. So people know What's happening and people know what they're Diagnosis is and we should put them in camps. And i know we shouldn't be putting money towards research to stopping this. Because this is god's righteous judgment and that was the political atmosphere that people were agitating for aids funding and aids research in. And i. i wanna point out one other thing in there. Which is i think that a lot of people don't know the history of how much the aids crisis was diminished and marginalized And a lot of people don't let history but like in nineteen ninety-two. There's audio reagan's press secretary laughing when asked about aids and making basically a gay joke. But i also think it's important to point out that that's nineteen eighty two one thousand nine hundred eighty four. We're in nineteen ninety-one ninety one here and the same stuff is happening. So we're talking about a decade of apathy and aggressive marginalization so. It's not just like oh in the early days of the aids crisis there was. We're talking about a community Watching people die for a decade at this point and still seeing people like jesse helms refer to the quote unquote homosexual. Lifestyle as the main thing. Here he says there is not one single case of aids in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy But you know again. I think it's important to highlight that. This is almost a full decade into this.
House of Cards
"house commons" Discussed on House of Cards
"Welcome back to house of cards day. Washout with here for those of you just joining us. I am talking with the president and ceo of the canadian gaming association. Paul burns. I remember a couple years ago when the court caves this moving through the us courts to legalize sports betting professional leagues opinion. Was that the most evil thing you can do in. Life is place a bet on sports and now over the last couple of weeks. I interviewed the head of bedding for the pga tour and nascar and they're looking to increase betting for their individual sports. You went into a little bit but he has. The professional leagues of canada really started to embrace the idea of sports betting in canada. They very much. So and it's i think that it's the in the reality they've seen is that Potential new revenue stream for for our leagues for our franchise owners. And you know and it can be done with integrity with The highest level of regulatory oversight and they've educated themselves. They you know. They've found all the reasons why they should support this and they did and i think you know in canada. The the opposition was muted In our first attempt at our bill. i can twenty twelve that'd be commissioner daily. The nhl was his comment was well. We'd rather see things stay the way they are. That was the extent now. Major league baseball did go to committee and speak against it. But even that wasn't well received in many ways because it's like well you know your games are bad on you know that on. What are you doing out of protecting your sport. What are you doing now to to do this. Wouldn't you rather and they got grilled pretty good Because i think everybody saw the reality is the fact that the the sports were they were being on. I think when they understood the league's on went to understand the industry and the only thing. Hey no we're you know. Our intellectual property is really being used with no benefit coming back to us which i think is a big issue for league now and they recognize that. Hey this isn't as scary as we thought. It was an credit to them because they went through the process of educating themselves and understanding that she was actually something which grace and i know in obviously with having just go through court system took a long time in the united states versus trying to you know some convincing legislators to make legal in the whole country and some times. It's a different debate. But i think the league's have done an excellent job at embracing it and putting it in the right perspective. Because i know the nhl when they appeared in front of the house common talked about. They were asked the question. Will you just turning. you're giving your arenas and been betting parlors things like that. Parliamentary prime metrics are asking the questions and and they were very good single but people combat everywhere today if they have a mobile device. They can bet them wherever they are. We're not going to the you know harassing people in the aisles. Place bets on the game but we know people like to do when they do it. And we're gonna make sure that we protect the integrity of our games are leagues our reputation. Canadian football league. They be still seen as a you know a family event to go to a game. They don't wanna take that away and but they know that you know they have to do an appropriate manner. And that's what they're all looking at it and i think that that's that's a little bit that will ensure long-term success in my opinion and i think that's what we're heading for and And i think it's a great thing that the sports leagues now get compensated for use actual property which for many years. They weren't And i think that's been a great benefit for them. You know one of the amazing things about sports. Betting is how the media has embraced it. I mean you can't turn on one of the us sport channels without seeing betting lines and over unders. And i'm in the new york new jersey media area and it's just every half hour. There's a sports betting show. How has the canadian media reacted to the fact. That single-game sports betting is coming to canada. Everybody's gearing up. There's no question about it We have two major sports. Broadcasters and in canada in sports network is owned by rogers communications and and and tsn which has a relationship with espn But it's owned by bell media which are the two biggest Telecommunications providers in the country so there's also the two biggest mobile phone providers They they drive a lot of content. Pay on the line You know in sports networks other networks so they have They're seeing this with bright eyes right now and trying to figure out how best they can participate in this and we've We've even seen the toronto star which is a a a large daily newspaper in toronto and offer nationally They they're getting into the online gaming and sports betting so some of the dieting. You know head first and others are waiting. We've also seeing a lot of growth in in sports content and there's some really some great companies emerging out of canada that are are are focusing concentrating on on sports media playmaker with a great toronto-based probably traded company has been active in south central america with football sites and others there's individuals startups. There's a group in toronto. Starting the called the par lay whether things can you h as a gay for the. Why has canadian flavor that are looking to build a sports content platform for sports better and sports information and so it's been You're seeing pullover. It's very rich robust. And i think it's great There's been Finding the right sports content offering Sports betting fans i think is complete is a boom any we have Another great cam covers dot com. Which is a canadian. Company has been doing great work for years and looking expand and incur increase their offering. Which is one of the other big topics and sports betting in the. Us is responsible gaming. I mean we just had the president of the american gaming association on to talk about their have a game plan bet responsibly program and they're partnering with different professional leagues and organizations to promote the program. This canada have a program to promote or provide assistance.

"And it's looking quite good. Is that right. Well if looking flat so the sin around one in seventy five people which is high have covet but that number is not increasing. There is an interesting question. About how much behavior changes from monday. 'cause from monday. If you're a double job person and you come out with some new tests positive what you won't be required to isolate. You'll it'll be recommended that you take a test but you want a quantity is it and i won the weather. That will lead to a bit of an uptick in socializing and the like. Because it's less risky. I think people right now have been quite often taking a self denying ordinance because they have a holiday on to go on a family event they wanted to do. So it's like will hunker down not see too many people. I won weather from the sixteenth. That behavior will change quite significantly. And so i think if you're looking at things that might increase the case right. That's obviously that change on the sixteenth and then there's obviously the return of schools in september and then later on in the month universities. But i think at the moment it's still appears that over caseload is haunting the situation hostels we've coated is manageable but all of the deferred isabelle's expertise linden's but i think one of the other things that he's is that even though the covert case numbers in hospital all lower. I think that it's fast. Save the government expected to be loved. The modal suggested the. Nhs is still under a huge amount of pressure because all the battle but it is trying to deal with the issues of staff absences and stalled holiday entitlement. And so i think the over the situation at the moment is not concerning the the. Nhs's still under under level of pressure. But i think. I think the the big question is if you get through the august sixteenth changes to be isolation rules and we still don't that big sparking case it still remains relatively flat. Then i mean that will that will be reminded that we are out of the acute phase of his situation. James on that before we came on air. You were mentioning. That government seems to have changed his mind on reaching herd immunity. What's been the latest mutterings about that. Are we still hoping for heard immunity. I mean the government is telling that the sun has appears to have subtly changed our view. Previously the unspoken us at uk policy was herd immunity. Free vaccination what you see in evidence house common sense to know policy group. This week is a senior thing is on the j. c. b. is saying essentially. You're not gonna get conventional hud immunity because the virus will mutate away so that it can to give it a better chance of spreading among to people but what the vaccines will mean is that this will be far. Milder disease van. It would have been so you will not get the number of hospitalizations and deaths that you would get an unvaccinated population. And i think this is another sign that we all can shifting to having to learn how to live with kobe how to how to manage the situation roll the non aiming for a policy where can hunt immunity essentially makes it go away. I think you're going to end up in a situation where i one of the scientists since we was talking about how you may well see people get coded over the next year or two but without having a particularly acute effect on their health. And i think this is going to hop significance because it is a change in how you might manage. The disease also has implications for countries such as australia new zealand. Is you two zero covert strategy. I think the australians registry.

Total outlay cash that you have laid out on your current fleet vehicles mentally. I'm under nine thousand. I don't believe that for a minute the race card. The bread van cars. Yeah when i said the fleet. I met all of them not one. I mean we could sign. Okay how much does he spend on his racing versus how much he makes and who would much. Okay maybe we're at fifteen if we include that fifteen thousand one hundred fifteen thousand you must have spent more than fifteen thousand dollars on how much. How much did you spend. Gti what'd what what'd you spend on. Oh okay oh. I didn't realize you're about bikers. Five thousand four hundred okay. So now what are we at twenty and you still had the car right. Yeah so i know.

Monocle 24: The Briefing
London And Surrounding Areas Restarting Lockdowns Due To Coronavirus Mutating
"And parts of essex and hot fanfare are hours away from returning to the highest level of covid nineteen restrictions following an alarming spike of cases in the capital pubs restaurants and other indoor entertainment. Venues will close once more. The latest surge has been ascribed to a new variant of the corona virus which appears to be growing more rapidly than previously for the moment however the uk's government says it has no plans to review the curious christmas truce. It appears to think it has negotiated with the virus. While i'm joined with more on this boy monocle. Twenty four health and science correspondent dr. Chris smith also a virologist at cambridge university chris. This the idea that there's a new strain of covid nineteen sounds like the very definition of the absolute last thing. We want to hear at this point. How grim news is this to be quite honest with you. I'm not alarmed. I'm not surprised. And i'm actually quite reassured and explain all those things ovar mutate because they're based on the same genetic code is running in pretty much will life on earth then the same mechanisms that lead to life evolving and changing apply viruses. And so as they go through their hosts they would evolve and change and corona virus is no exception. That's exactly what's happened to you. Therefore we would anticipate that we would see different strains and different emerging and indeed. This is not the first time it has happened. We've seen happened early. On in the pandemic in china we've seen it happen and disclosed various different forms of the viruses spread across the world and in europe they documented some of the same changes are now being seen in this new variant in the south east of england. So this is not altogether new in terms of concept and is not altogether new in terms of variant. This being disclosed. We're reassured by matt. Hancock saying yesterday house commons the the. Don't think although they are confirming that this will lead to the virus sidestepping the effects of a vaccine. We don't think it makes people who catch it for ill. It just may be transmits a bit better. Although that speculation on airpods that they're they're saying it might be linked to an increasing cases in the southeast england in terms of course load but don't know for sure if we're going to try to be exceptionally optimistic about this. Is there any possibility that the reason the viruses having to mutate to survive is there an indication that perhaps that means we've got it on the run will certainly when you apply pressure to a virus and by pressure. I mean for instance putting a vaccine into a population so you create an immune barrier or you put in place public health measures. You are forcing the virus to change to optimize to those new conditions. Because that's why things evolve in the first place. They're responding to selective pressure from their environment. And we know we do this to the flu. We know this happens with hiv. When we give people hiv drugs for example then the virus that grows in them is the only one that can bypass the blockade of drug. And that's why we use multiple drugs at wants to minimize the chance. The happening so the concept is common. Well understood so yes. It is. Theoretical possibility that by applying pressure to the virus. We are forcing it to become more infectious so that despite robbing it of opportunities to transmit it can still continue to transmit given the does appear to have become more infectious in the capital. However does it make the proposed relaxation of restrictions around christmas. Look even more. Ill advised than they might have. Well we don't know it has become more infectious in the capital. We know we've got more cases same in the east and southeast of england essex positive of cheer kent. They've seen big increases in numbers of the trend is in an upward direction. Which is why caution. Reproach has been taken in the uk by moving. Probably the best part of eleven million people who live in those territories into a so-called tier three situation to apply more pressure to the virus. The idea i think is this is anticipating the trend is going upwards where we are today is not where we're going to be tomorrow and so by bearing down on ahead of christmas when there's going to be this loosening effect where we got five days of reveling and Enhanced mixing the there are going to be more cases so if we start molo point and already have more control at the virus to start with them. We're going to end up finishing the low point than we otherwise would is or anything that the rest of the world should have learned from the united states. Experience we've thanksgiving because that was sort of a test run of what happens if all of a sudden millions of people travel by aircraft and by train and spend at least today in close quarters with households other than their own well. This is exactly what happened with chinese new year and when millions of people were mobilized to crush china to get together for the chinese new year this probably spawned even more cases because people traveled internationally for that event to so yes. History is full of examples of peop- of of Repeating itself and this is no exception. We are anticipating that. The mixing that goes on over christmas will lead to more cases. The question is how many more cases and how are we going to cope with them. So is there a good reason at least scientifically good reason. Why not just this government. But any government wouldn't just say to its people look seriously. Christmas is basically cancelled We are just going to have to suck this up for a few more months. We do have a vaccine to look forward to. We do have a restoration of normality to look forward to. We might maybe think about throwing in an extra couple of bank holidays around. June but christmas is basically not going to happen. Will the president of the royal college of emergency medicine was asked this very question on bbc. Radio four's pm program. Yesterday an her answer was. Are you asking me. This is a doctor or as you asking me this as human and actually you get a very different also because the doctor slash the infection control person is going to say which just council everything we should imprison. Everybody break the chain of transmission bear down on the virus but the human element of this is people need something to look forward to. Morale is incredibly important. And if you rob people away of the one thing. They've looked forward to in. What is the end of a very dismal year than this will probably translate into poor compliance in the long term. it will probably therefore translate into in the long-term more cases more headaches more problems and ultimately more casualties from are so. I think the government have of compromise. Here the trying to go for a controlled christmas. Where if you allow people some flexibility you know that most people will be responsible. You hope that they are. You're willing to tolerate some degree of of letting your hair down because you know that in a noncompliant christmas where you'd said don't do this and if on breaks the rules anyway he's probably going to be a higher price to pay in the long term. I think that's really the equation that they've done. Well let's look finally at the progress of that vaccine which is now being rolled out in united kingdom and again it's a question of government messaging. Does it strike you. As a missed opportunity that there is a website with a rolling hourly update of how many people have now been vaccinated. Well the numbers are not that high yet You see numbers like yesterday. They did three hundred people or four hundred people in this hospital and that hospital. And when you see that there's this peak of mount everest which is sixty eight million people in the uk high eight billion people on earth. Hide one what. You wanna do When you knock a few hundred off that is not much. And so. I think maybe that's coming may be there. There is that opportunity in the future but for now. It probably wouldn't be a big demonstrable difference
