emotional, as a week thing, —— is a weakness, and so it is good that we are talking more about women's sport but i worry for northern ireland that it has taken the shine off what they have achieved recently and some of the good work they and the team and the coaching staff have done but certainly it is a chance to further debate but also to try and keep changing stereotypes. stereotypes do exist but the majority, they don't exist but the majority, they don't exist and not everyone has this viewpoint. exist and not everyone has this viewpoint-_ exist and not everyone has this viewpoint-— exist and not everyone has this viewoint. . , , viewpoint. really interesting. faye white, thanks _ viewpoint. really interesting. faye white, thanks for _ viewpoint. really interesting. faye white, thanks forjoining _ viewpoint. really interesting. faye white, thanks forjoining us. i viewpoint. really interesting. faye| white, thanks forjoining us. thank you for putting that into context and also of course katie and stefanie who will stay with us for the next part of the programme. we will speak to sweden's minister about their plans to join nato later this year. it is important for them
had not addressed its main concern about the western military alliance, its expansion, there's, quote, "hope for the start of a serious conversation on secondary questions". a fortnight ago, just a fortnight ago, the kremlin said, "we will not be satisfied with the endless dragging out of this process." and russia's representative at the organisation for security and cooperation in europe, the 0sce, warned, "we will have to take necessary measures to ensure strategic balance and eliminate unacceptable threats to our national security." and so they thundered largely over the last couple of months, stefanie, but do you think there is a sort of a shifting now in the russian position? well, i'm not sure. i mean, we had president putin talking to france, president macron today, and there were some positive notes coming out of it. i mean, moscow is saying that, yes, there has been some movement. the foreign minister or foreign secretary said there were some rational elements in what the us had said to...or
and so, you know, i think people get too worked up applying this term culture wars when it's actually a sort of liberal versus small c conservative divide which is the more significant one. stefanie, you've got about a minute just to sum up on this. you know, it will be a significant thing, won't it, to have a black woman on the us supreme court? there's only been two african—american justices, one still serving, clarence thomas, and there's never been a black woman on the court. yeah, absolutely, i mean, the politicisation of the constitutional court is something that i'm absolutely fascinated by in the us, while in germany, we have something that's a german word for you, it's a nice long german word, which is actually constitutional patriotism. and that has meant that
what the us had proposed. but of course, it doesn't change the fact that there are still more than 100,000 troops on the border of ukraine. the russians have also agreed, or there might be another meeting in the so—called normandy format, early february. so there is some, if you want to call it positive signs, maybe stability, a little bit of stability, but it's also at the same time it's very much that you see that the russian president wants respect, he wants attention. but what he really plans is still very, very unclear. but i think what... president... sorry, stefanie, carry on. i think what is also making the situation even more difficult is that, of course, there are also very different actions being taken by the us and by germany, for example, and the ukraine itself. i mean, the president has said actually, the situation is not as dangerous as some outside ukraine are saying. yes, i mean, that'sjust what i was going to quote.
maybe putin doesn't, whether he is going to try and move into ukraine. and i think no one knows for sure that if he were to do that, precisely how the west, the us, obviously crucially, but others will respond. germany, stefanie, is particularly exposed on this because of its energy dependency. and so in that sense, it may have surprised people that actually chancellor scholz said, pretty much as americans would have hoped he would say, "look, you do this and this new nord stream project, nord stream 2 is dead." but i suppose the interesting is he didn't say it to existing... the existing project, the existing link, because presumably they can't really afford to do that, can they? well, actually, it wasn't even agreed by sholz, the now chancellor of germany, that there would be sanctions on russia involving nord stream if russia uses energy supply as a weapon.
"you are the agents of change!" well, they literally are. it's in their hands. and what is so interesting, when you speak to some of these conservative mps, is firstly it's wrong to talk of them as some sort of collective group — older conservative mps have experienced the drama of trying to remove a prime minister. the younger ones, the new intake from december 2019, this is all new to them and it is a big thing to do. and frankly, they are the ones who are all over the place, as much as the metropolitan police and the fate of the sue gray report. and for the rest of us, stefanie, it sounds like it's going to be a case of, when sue gray finally publishes, we have to read between the lines. yes, it's been a very confusing week and days. and on tuesday, the metropolitan
forjohnson to resign, i and yet i know that the precedent that we should look _ at is the donald trump precedent, where a year after losing - an election was still saying, "it was stolen and i'm - the real president. " i and i think that whatever happensl in these coming weeks and possibly months leading up to the may elections, i just feeljohnson i holding on to office _ using everything he possibly can, and that's why i think twitter is full of ideas that maybe i | he brought in the met at the lastj minute, the metropolitan police, to kind of gum up the works- on the release of the gray report. intriguing conspiracy theory, that one. stefanie on this question, there was a resignation this week. it wasn't a prime minister, it was a junior minister who, if i'm honest, most of us and even he would accept hadn't heard of him, but he left in the most extraordinary way. resigned at the dispatch box and in the process accused his government of being indifferent, uh, arrogant rather,
