  Speaker 1: Can we go in the campaign of course. Vintor Mecabenny
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with Usponcent very good morning to you. Good morning liber
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: manifesto die, what are they promising?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, the Labor manifesto quite different from the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: one they ran on a few years ago under Jeremy Corbyn.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Keir Starmer is very much saying that his party is
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the party for change, but he is for stability, not
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: chaos as we've had with the Conservatives. But there were,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: in his own words, no surprises, no rabbits out of
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the hat. He said he was not running to lead
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a circus but a serious party, and that if you
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: wanted pantomime, go to Clapton where Nigel farages. So some
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: disappointment that there weren't any sort of real new retail
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: offers for voters, but a lot of feedback saying basically
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: this was going to work the sort of most dangerous
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: point for him in the whole election. Something going wrong
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: with the manifesto, because in twenty seventeen Theresa May thought
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: she was cruising to a nice majority in the election
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that she called a snap one, and then it all
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: came apart on manifesto day, something which was dubbed the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: dementia tax, which is selling your house basically to pay
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: for care in your older age. So far, there's been
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: nothing in the Labor manifesto that is undoing the work
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that Kiirstarma has done for five years to rebuild his party.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: What's your vibe so far on this campaign? Has anything
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: materially changed at all? And I referred to the polls
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the message gap and the toy is going to.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Lose, only that the Tories are doing worse by the day. Essentially,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: there was a great line last night when Kistarma and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Ritchie Sieck were in the North of England. They were
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: doing another TV debate, not heads ahead, but a sort
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of in depth interview and then questions from the public
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and one political editor here for a newspaper was asked,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you know what she thought about richistin Axlin d day
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and he turned it around and she said, well, today
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: he hasn't punched a pensioner or kicked a dock, so
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that's got to be better than the last few days.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: That is the level of campaign he is at. The
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Conservatives are looking at a real wipeout in this selection,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: perhaps less than one hundred seats that had sort of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: been something that people said a few months ago that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: was dismissed, but now by the day looking more and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: more likely because his performance last night in the debates
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't good. Two thirds of those who watched it said
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that Kirstarma won easily.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, then we come to JUE seven and Italy as
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Zelenski's there. Of course, this package that Biden has been spreaking,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this fifty billion UIs is the bit money is on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: its way what by the end of the year.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, that's right. And I think this is
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: all about future proofing that the Ukraine war against war
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: effort against Russia in case of a Trump victory, because
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: what we're seeing both with the G seven members today
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that package but also being in lockstep that Russia cannot
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: win this, that Ukraine will win, and that Western support
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is with Ukraine. It is not wavering. We're also seeing
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: this in the meetings that are going on in the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: NATO alliance. So this week we had the sort of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the nine Eastern members of NATO meeting with Jens Daltenberg.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: They were talking about reaffirming their commitment to Ukraine and
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the sport that was needed, their fears over a sort
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of belief in Russia once again. It's all building to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: this big meeting in a few weeks in Washington, DC
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: of NATO to celebrate the anniversary of that organization's founding,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I think the seventieth anniversary of the organization's founding, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's basically just have to make sure that whatever happens
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: with elections this year, Ukraine has the funding it needs
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to carry on its war efforts.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, Mape, you have a good week and we'll catch up,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So appreciate it very much. Vincent Mecabinity out of the UK.
