i spoke earlier to rina shah, republican strategist, commentator and former republican senior aide. well, we are now officially kicked off to the 2024 election. this is the time now where many political observers will start to make predictions. but i would cautionjust because this is the first in the nation contest for republicans, i don't find it to be a litmus test for how the rest of the primary will go for republicans. there's a great deal at stake. but one thing is true about iowa caucuses. they are unusual in how they're conducted and they also bring about so much enthusiastic support that we don't see in other primaries. so, while people look at tonight with, of course, a great sense of what could this predict, it's also a really fun time for political insiders and observers like me. and of course, for observers like you, you will have sure, i've been watching the debates closely, but the man who has not appeared in any of the debates is the man who is leading in the polls,

fan. there's more disappointment for him, as he's been knocked out of the australian open in the first round. he suffered a straight sets defeat to the argentine tomas etcheverrey. it's only the second time in his career that murray's been knocked out in the first round of the competition, as katie gornall reports. we think of andy murray as the man with the metal hip and the iron will. that he continues to compete at this level has, at times, defied logic. but is the end in sight? for the first half an hour of this match murray held his own against the 30th seed tomas martin etcheverry. commentator: you've got to love that! - but once the argentine won the first set, he began to give murray the run around. commentator: simply. sublime from etcheverry. and it was difficult to see a way back. fans had cued around of the game's all—time greats. fans had cued around the block to see one of the game's all—time greats. but this was a far cry from the glory days. many times, murray has dragged himself back from the brink of defeat. that he offered such little resistance here will only intensify questions about his future. his tournament ended by tomas martin etcheverryjust over two hours after it had begun.

Gary Lineker Meets

but we went on this great adventure. i remember first meeting him and saying to him, "what do you want?" and they'd finished seventh for two successive years in the fourth division. he said, "i want to go into the first division and europe". and what a stupid thing! but you see, the thing about it — that's what i wanted when i was at lincoln. now, perhaps i'd been stupid, but was i stupid? i couldn't get it at lincoln because i didn't have the financial backing — and i'm not saying i would have done but i didn't have the financial backing. but all of a sudden, i met a fellow who got the same stupid idea as i did as i had — that wanted to come from the fourth division into europe. john motson: the fourth i division championship in 1978 was followed by promotion from the third a year later. three years after that, - watford became a first division club, runners—up. in their first season. in their second,| fa cup finalists. commentator: ..coming in. commentator: blissett coming in. this is quite miraculous what you did, wasn't it? there's a point where you're absolutely bottom

Gary Lineker Meets

"god, we're in the cup final." commentator: steven again. graeme sharp waiting in the centre. - and gray is closing in here. oh, and sherwood didn't collect! - and the goal is given! the challenge of gray, - too much for the goalkeeper. and everton are 2—0 in the lead. merseyside are celebrating. we didn't handle it the right way, which is my fault, because i should have said to graham, "let me go "in there and have a word with them." yeah. do you think it would have made a difference? yeah. yeah? absolutely. i can be quite...good at that. yeah, i'm sure. yeah. you're very, very successful... in your career, i've had an incredibly long career. the highlight of my career was glastonbury, which i never thought i'd play, and i had to go in there and pull it off. i did pull it off because you have to.

HARDtalk

when you don't show the truth? you talked earlier about empathy and putting yourself in other people's shoes. i'm now trying to put myself in your shoes. for you as a commentator who wants to influence opinion, shouldn't you try to reach israelis in a way that shows more empathy for them? for example, you still seem to support the economic isolation of israel through an international economic boycott. now, to most israelis, that is deeply unpatriotic. it is a betrayal of your own country's interests. if you want people to come over to your side, shouldn't you modify some of your positions? i lost hope of really influencing. i'm not influencing. i'm really whistling in the darkness and i live with it. i mean, i don't know how to modify myself. you mentioned the boycott. do you have any idea how will we put an end to the apartheid and to the occupation from within? i wish i could influence israelis to wake up one morning and say, "oh,

"that this is about the wider region, except if it's perceived "by that in the arab world." we heard that from a houthi commentator who was on the programme this morning. if it's perceived that way, as in the arab world, they want it actually, they want to be part of the wider war. western leaders can say till they're blue and blue in the face, "oh, it's got nothing to do with the wider conflict." except what they're also saying are things like grant shapps, the defence secretary, this week saying "we are watching iran, "we are joining the dots." "we see you, we see what you were doing." david cameron this morning talked about his own conversation with the iranian foreign minister. i said that the houthi actioni is unacceptable, it is illegal, it is dangerous. it could well result in the severe loss of life and the sinking - of ships, and it has to stop. they have considerable - influence over the houthis. we know that they've supplied them i with weapons and they should act. i |and i think it's important to bej able to have that conversation. i wanted to make sure it was i as clear as it possibly could be. so they've got themselves into a slightly strange position where they are all making these wider connections. keir starmer even did that in a piece in the independent on sunday. david cameron did that at length this morning. so they're saying, "yes, iran's behind the houthis."

this is the warning. it's the law of unintended consequences, which we were addressing with labour'sjohn mcdonnell, who voted against the iraq war in 2003. basically the point is to all our politicians, how do you think the 2003 war in iraq went? now parliament back that so it's an interesting question what least was raising in our minds the whatever you say about the red sea shipping, which is obviously the trigger for the uk and the us. have you worked out that this is what the rebels actually want? they want to be seen as facing downjoe biden. and it was interesting talking to david cameron about this. i mean, he says, "oh, it's nonsense to say "that this is about the wider region, except if it's perceived "by that in the arab world." we heard that from a houthi commentator who was on the programme this morning. if it's perceived that way, as in the arab world, they want it actually, they want to be part of the wider war. western leaders can say till they're blue and blue in the face, "oh, it's got nothing to do with the wider conflict." except what they're also saying are things like grant shapps, the defence secretary, this week
