Probably a fair summary. Disagree with it. I think that is| probably a fair summary. What disagree with it. I think that is probably a fair summary. What the Justice Secretary is going to announce in the next few minutes, it has been trailed overnight, is that people who kill their partners will lose their parental rights on arrest. The idea being that too often when there is a situation of Domestic Violence or domestic killing that you still have access to children despite the pain and suffering that can cause. That is something the justice suffering that can cause. That is something theJustice Secretary has promised to look at for a while and will announce further moves on over the next 20 minutes. He has also got an announcement coming on strengthening whole Life Sentences to mean that people going through the justice process at the moment who are sentenced to whole Life Sentences will face tougher punishments already being introduced by the government. That is the thing the government wants to talk about over the next 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Suella braverman who im sure well have punchy words to say, she is popular with a lot on the right, a lot of people on the right of the Conservative Party, not popular with everyone, she is pretty controversial, we had a deputy chair of the Conservative Party on the news channel this morning saying they did not agree with her comments in the states where she said she thought multiculturalism had failed. The thing that is relieved dominating today is the interviews the Prime Minister has done with various channels and outlets. There is a couple of things worth putting into context from Alex Chalk TheJustice Secretary. First as he is still stonewalling questions on when he is about to announce his decision on h s he is about to announce his decision on h 5 two. I think we all know what it is, everyone in this conference expects the manchester to birmingham leg to be scrapped. The remaining question is what happens with the money . Is it reallocated to other projects in the north of england . The answer seems to be probably but some people are calling for an east to west line to be built properly for infrastructure in the north of england and we had a former minister Iain Duncan Smith saying the money saved should be given to the mayors of manchester in the West Midlands and other devolved leaders to decide how they want to spend it. Rishi sunak is not going, he set out william he will not be pushed on that decision. There is a lot of talk about it happening tomorrow so we may get clarity tomorrow. More broadly the Prime Minister is trying to reset things tomorrow, his speech will be an absolutely crucial moment for his leadership. Rishi sunak is trying to move himself from the guy who can stabilise the economy and take problems you had with inflation and the aftermath of liz trusss government, stabilise the economy, he argues he has done it, there is debate in different quarters about how successful that has beaten but he thinks he is ready to move onto the next phase. He thinks he is ready to move onto the next phase. Thank you very much. Riuht now the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we want the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we want to the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we want to turn the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we want to turn to the next phase. Thank you very much. Right now we want to turn to new right now we want to turn to new york where the former President Donald Trump is addressing the press. We willjoin that. This case should be dismissed, this is not a case. And she should probably be dismissed also, she is terrible. And grossly incompetent, as i have said. But at a minimum, as i have said. But ata minimum, she as i have said. But at a minimum, she should start looking for the murderers and violent criminals over new york, do something about the Illegal Migrants pouring into the city and state. And not spend the next six months in a court house because she has been caught early. Her numbers are fraudulent. She is a fraud. The numbers are fraudulent. This case should be dismissed. We want to get on to solving the problems of new york city and new york state. Thank you very much. Inaudible donald trump repeating a lot of the claims he made yesterday as we seem going to the court room. Interesting because he spent that time getting involved about the valuation and he is almost fighting this case to reporters as opposed to inside the courtroom.

Absolutely, nobody should be mistaken, donald trump is coming | be mistaken, donald trump is coming to new york now for the second day to new york now for the second day to leveraged this politically. He understands at stake. But he knows that by showing up in person he can also rally his supporters and make the point that he has done for the last several years that he wants them to believe this is all part of a larger witchhunt against him. It is worth noting the judge a larger witchhunt against him. It is worth noting thejudge here has already rejected the argument that this was a politically motivated case. Donald trump was forced to withdraw his lawsuit after a differentjudge found he was trying to use the court to seek political revenge. So this has been dealt with but it is a useful Talking Point for donald trump. He also brings up mar a lago many times. He benefited from that, he benefited paying lower taxes and yet here he is maintaining that it taxes and yet here he is maintaining thatitis taxes and yet here he is maintaining that it is worth more than 1 billion, a gross exaggeration of the value of mar a lago according to the judge here and the ruling he has already issued.
