allies who followed britain in the joint expeditionary reports. even in america, i've discovered that the way the uk is articulating the line on this is really in the league, and russia knows it. vladimir putin has always had a thing for britain and the way it's conducted international affairs, particularly through europe, through nato and the osc. it's a real toe to toe, and this is really unfortunate — there's a very nasty, vindictive subplot to this. let's rub the brits's noses in it. robert, always fascinating to get your thoughts, thanks very much. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.30pm and 11.30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are the talktv presenter daisy mcandrew, and the broadcaster david davies.
wants to see a weakened russia do things invading ukraine. that's interesting subplot. we have seen russia walls much more diminished we ever thought. army much weaker and disorganized than we could ever imagine our intelligence was able to success. they are running out of people and now with longer supply lines for the ukrainians most admit a challenge. even if the russians want to do what they want to do and anthony that's encircle the donbas region that's also 100 miles of supplies. they have not shown the ability to do it. they also are showing an ability to kill civilians, arming, going after that apartment building in odesa, killing another infant. i think it's also interesting they're going out of their way according to the british defense ministry to have a mini, i guess, crimea like acquisition of kherson as you see in that map. even though they have occupied that city and claimed that city, they have been anything but settled. they have constant insurgency.
appearance that a case is the result of political pressure and some members of the committee said they might hold the criminal referrals because if it is comprised of information already publicly available the fact that congress asked doj to investigate or prosecute a particular action some members said they worry that it could make doj prosecutors a little bit more concerned about bringing the charges. doj makes the decisions independently. the fact they charged steve bannon so fast is evidence that they take allegations from congress seriously but there's a longer list of folks they have yet to charge and move slowly than congress and many folks want them to move. so i would expect this to continue and to percolate as a subplot but i don't think it's something that's going to have any sort of impediment on the
since then from the formative conservative mp, now labour mp for bury south in greater manchester, he said he was told some time ago when he was conservative mp if he did not back the government in a vote, a long hoped—for new secondary school in his constituency would not happen. he is clearly irritated by that and has gone public, having crossed the floor to labour. the question is whether any existing conservative mps are willing to do the same, because this is a subplot in the context of all of the questions being asked about the culture of the government boris johnson leads.— culture of the government boris johnson leads. ., ., , ., johnson leads. how common is that this sort of— johnson leads. how common is that this sort of pressure _ johnson leads. how common is that this sort of pressure is _ johnson leads. how common is that this sort of pressure is applied? - johnson leads. how common is that this sort of pressure is applied? is l this sort of pressure is applied? is it the cut and thrust of politics we do not always hear about?- it the cut and thrust of politics we do not always hear about? there is a fair amount — do not always hear about? there is a fair amount of _ do not always hear about? there is a fair amount of cut _ do not always hear about? there is a fair amount of cut and _ do not always hear about? there is a fair amount of cut and thrust - do not always hear about? there is a fair amount of cut and thrust in - fair amount of cut and thrust in politics, yes. there are all sorts of tales from folklore from yesteryear of all sorts of things going on that would not exactly pass into the handbook of the 2022 human
trying to tell him to call it off. you had ivanka trump saying whoa, we need to stop this. you had sean hannity and allies saying yo, this is not good. the question then becomes which is the dog and which is the tail? because fox news serves a constituency that knows their under pinnings are. but they also have to compete with people this their right, the news max, they're in a competitive environment to get the most maga and authoritarian audience to stick with them. i wonder what do you make of this? because does this look like something donald trump is leading or something where donald trump and his followers are going along with a rabid crowd? what do you make of it? >> joy, what's clear to me and sean hannity texts are interesting. it's an interesting little subplot in the bigger story. the fact of the matter we all watched almost a year ago, not
what the "times" has been reporting, that the president and allies took steps towards -- the u.s. military, the department of justice and the department of homeland security to seize voting machines? >> i'm seeing the same reporting that you are. and this seems to be based on the reporting one subplot or one set of tactics that didn't go forward. unlike the incitement of the mob to breach the capitol, unlike the clear efforts to go after mike pence. but it does demonstrate his overall purpose and intent, which was something he spoke out loud over the weekend. one of the interesting things about donald trump, sometimes people think because he's so overt about the criminality, it can't really be criminal.

i think it is more likely to be end of april, or may. i want to make sure that every substantial subplot to overthrow the 2020 presidential election is fully investigated. so we really just learned about the subplot campaign to seize election machinery, which is a real banana republican stuff. the focused campaign against mike pence is something where we have a lot of information but not complete information, and we are hoping to complete that, so i mean, you're right that there, you know, there's no exact finish line. but, we do need to investigate. >> the panel has also learned more about a phone call between ohio republican congressman jim jordan, and donald trump on january 6th. a source tells nbc news that documents turned over to investigators by the national archives show the two men spoke for ten minutes on the morning of that day.

in their lack of activity. i think tottenham don't have a huge amount of money to spend themselves this month but ultimately they would rather sell before they buy and there's quite a few in that good that he does not particularly fancy who they are trying to move on before they can move players and and that has proven quite time—consuming and they have some of their best targets so if you put those things together it's proving to be very difficult for tottenham to get the players they want in. and you can follow all the day's big football stories every weekday — with expert analysis by bbc sport journalists and guests from across the game. next up. this weekend's british basketball league cup final between leicester riders and manchester giants has an interesting subplot. that's because we will see two brothers go head to head. but only one of the whelan brothers will emerge triumphant come sunday evening in birmingham. they've been talking to bbc sport
