This is happening people. Where there are so few certainties... (laughing) Look around you. You deserve to know. as we navigate a future unknown. I'm glad I found stability amidst it all. Gold. Standing the test of time. Oh Canada!! their time has come Argentina have done it! One more Messi moment! Beyond glorious! Messi magic once again This is it...the stage is set That's what they came for!! And it is spectacular!! >> Another live look at 10 downing street in london, england, where today we learned U.K. residents will be heading to the polls this summer. British prime minister rishi sunak delivering the statement outside 10 downing just moments ago, we announced a general election will be held july, the 4th. Joining me now is tom brooks, a policy adviser and durham university professor of law and government professor, thanks very much for joining us. There had been speculation that it will later in the year election. Is this a surprise this? >> I think surprised if there is was that there was figures today about government borrowing levels, which meant that there governments hopes of of announcing some of the tax cuts looked like that was not going to happen. Small boat arrivals have been at a record level. This of the government has made a big planter stopping the boats across the english channel and and removing people pending asylum to rwanda and so on. It's happened going to to plan. And I think that might just must have been made. I know that these things are going to be any better over the next couple months. And so they called it now, things wouldn't be any worse. They might be a couple months ended with them too, to catch out of their own labour party, scottish nationalists and others. Maybe hoping their work prepared for this moment, but I suspect it's the worst secret in everyone because it had to happen this year and happen fairly soon anyway. So a surprise of sorts. >> The conservatives are trailing in the polls as soon as himself a within the party is having some issues can that what do they have to do to even have a hope of winning? >> I think it's, it's a very tall order for them to and I think one of the calculations they must get done is think about how much more terrible the result might be if they waited another couple months. Interest rates have gotten a bit better, but they're much higher than they were a few years ago as living standards and the U.K. are worse now than they were 14 years ago. People in my county county, durham right now don't have access to nhs dentist survey forced to go private. They want to access a dentist. You've got the constituency areas the police are not investigating were burglaries and where the place up and judge has been told not to sentence people because of overcrowding in the presence of a lot of things aren't going very well. And I think again, the judge has probably it's a good now to the polls. It's that off. Things aren't as bad as they might with the where there might be small, more small boats, people thing, higher and so on and so forth. I suspect it's a it's a damage limitation rather march to some so you think trait remembered something interesting about this prime minister is that no one's everybody for him, he's never let his party in a general election. He also lost the conservative party leadership contest to the stress. It was the shortest

serving prime minister need the following boris johnson's. There's a nation. So we've got somebody is says not even when his own parties members from kind of leaving it to only a few more months anyway, to call a general election. So yeah, I think he looked at that, the winds blowing and thought now was was better than any later than it did so we'll find out shortly. >> What kind of we're like the scottish party be your party's not consider the 2 main street. >> Yeah, I think that they could be a factor of sorts. I think that the, the main rees, the main factor, the scottish national party. I have this at the the in scotland did incredibly well winning virtually all its most in that that's in westminster did incredibly well. The problem for the s&p is that they want a lot of these by a narrow margin to next. And the honourable and wears later had a very the there and let them know that there's been a kind of political crisis of a very popular leader in scotland resigned her husband rested. It's been a number of things going on in s and the politics thanks to the north of the border. I think that. The s&p fortunes will make a difference. But I think that the difference will be looking for it's how many seats labour can win. Often the conservatives have not done particularly well in scotland for some time that I would not expect them to do now, but they could help make a real difference to weather. Keir starmer labour been outright majority or that we have a hung parliament. >> Ok professor, thank you very much for your analysis. Appreciation. Thom brooks as a policy adviser you know, the university professor of law and government. Norway, spain and ireland have announced their intention to formally recognize a palestinian state. A declaration that would go into effect on tuesday. >> I've spoken with a number of of the heaters and counterparts. I'm confident that for other countries will join us and taking this important step in the coming weeks. >> Leaders from the 3 countries say they hope the move brings new momentum toward a two-state solution. Adding it's not a decision against israel or one in favour of hamas, but instead it is in support of peace. Israel, they're angry reaction here, calling the decision distorted. And israel has now recalled its ambassadors to ireland, norway and spain. Some of their envoys hamas. Meantime, welcome the move and is calling on other nations to follow suit. Joining me now is michael lynk, former un special rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory from 2016 2 2022 michael, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you, roger, for having me. Does this is this a surprise move, your reaction to this? Are we expecting something like this? >> Well, I think there have been signals for some time that some european countries are going to do this. I think there had been a push for the eu as a to recognize the palestine as a we already have a handful of european countries have done this, this move today by norway, spain and ireland. I think will that will start much bigger snowball going down the mountain. We're expecting bill jim slovakia's. So the source will to probably to make a similar declaration the next couple days. And there may will be others. So who will soon follow them? So I think there's a recognition that same, we recognize palestine as a state does not bring a vote palestine as a state. But it does show, I think that world's increasing impatience with israel and its blockage of avenue or any path for the palestinians to achieve statehood. Now with this. >> Break help convince israel that maybe they need to find a peace accord or is this going to drive them further into the corner? >> Will be we know that the israeli current israeli government says it will never be a palestinian state under its watch. That's that's a fairly broad consensus among a number of the centre and the right there's really not politics, even if they say they accept a palestinian state, they don't accept a palestinian state on the 1967 boundaries, which is what international law would wind up demanding. So my sense is israel right now is overstepping its feet and quite angry. Its recalled its ambassadors from norway and spain and ireland. But I don't think there's much reversal that's in the courage that israel would have any effect on in changing minds with regards to this. And I think it's going to leave it increasingly even more isolated

than it is already. And probably drinking along united states with it. Now opponents of said this rewards terrorism. Your thoughts on that. Well, I I think irish knows the norwegian prime minister or foreign affairs minister said today this is a reward with respect to hamas and terrorism. It is a a slap in the face to israel. It's a recognition of something of that that's been long that international law and international diplomacy has long accepted that there has to be a palestinian state in the hope is, I guess is that by recognizing a palestinian state, a long time demand of the palestinian authority. It will give more legitimacy to the palestinian authority and take away some of the legitimacy that hamas has gained in taking on israel over the last 7 months. Now internally, though, is that is there any hope of a palestinian state? >> If if it's the palestinian authority running it. And hamas has pushed out. >> O we'll have to see where the with the dust settles out at the end of the war on gaza. Hamas is book is going to come out of the war, likely both weaker and stronger, weaker in the sense that it's had a lot of its military capacity destroyed and that its ability to govern gaza has probably been taken away from it. But there also is, I think, a strong sentiment of palestinian popular opinion leaning simply they are seen to be standing up to israel and be like poking it in the nose in a way that the palestinians authorities seem to be much weaker in being able to confront israel and to make any meaningful change on the ground. You mentioned the U.S. earlier, where does this leave them? Increasingly isolated with israel. The united states has has taken a long time position that it will. It supports a palestinian state. It will only support a palestinian state at the end of negotiations with israel. I think what you know that the announcement today by these 3 european countries are saying there is no from a path forward for palestinian state, which we all say we support given the determination can by the current israeli government to oppose want. So it makes, I think american argument saying, well, we should support a peace process and well, we should support a palestinian state only at the end of that. Negotiations seem increasingly hollow and and on persuasive. >> And for other countries that will not acknowledge it or recognize like canada, where does that leave them? >> Well, canada up until very recently had taken the same position of the united states is that they wouldn't recognize a palestinian state unless and until it emerged from negotiations with israel. I think we're going to see some daylight between the canadian position and the american position simply because I think there's a there's a recognition of the true facts on the ground that others. Now 740,000 israeli settlers in occupied east jerusalem and the west bank that israelis government has made it very clear they're not supporting a palestinian state. So canada's now same, we reserve the option now to recognize palestine as a state sooner than what negotiations may produce. So this will put, I think, even more pressure on canada to begin to make some hard decisions on its stance towards israel and palestine. >> Okay michael, thank you very much for your insight and analysis. Roger, thanks again for having me. Michael lake is a former un special rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory from 2016 to 2022. The head of singapore airlines has apologized for a flight that hit severe turbulence, killing one person and injuring at least 30 others. >> On behalf of singapore airlines.

In her suit, crystal mckinney claims she was drugged in sexually assaulted by combs at his new york city recording studio in 2003. Its latest lawsuit comes just days after surveillance video service showing comes physically attacking his then girlfriend cassie ventura and 2016 and filed a lawsuit against the rapper november. But the case was settled shortly after. Joining me now is new, my rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and president of west coast trial lawyers. My, thank you very much for joining us. >> O thanks. 70 roger. >> This new charge, new lawsuit. What are we looking at in this one? >> Yet another victim was come forward and alleged physical and sexual abuse by sean diddy combs. And this is bad news, not just because it's going to cost them money, but it makes it even more likely that in the face criminal charges against the sunni too much pressure on prosecutors to many victims. And that video that was released on friday showing that severe physical of it is that domestic violence prosecutors are going to have to act. I think it's a matter of when you get to and I did not this. >> It is, why is that is it is it is this political pressure on them. Now. >> Well, every prosecutor in the country is either elected or appointed by someone who isn't. There's a lot of pressure on folks to bring its tax, the rich and powerful men in hollywood to justice. There's a perception that they're able to escape justice because of their financial. It's the ability to hire the best and the most expensive lawyers. But when you have victim after that, this coming forward and really raising much of the same allegation coming too much for prosecutors to ignore going forward. And let's not forget. Federal prosecutors had enough evidence to get a search warrant for 2 of that is home and miami and los angeles, where I am. And if you can rent a federal judge, those home have evidence of a crime. It's not too far removed to come in that same judge that there's enough evidence to get an arrest warrant for good. >> And with the the accusation in this in this most recent one. How does it look? Is it a strong case? >> Well, that's similar to some of the other accusations involving sexual assault and obvious that cash isn't sure

case. But by far the strongest said the longest lasting relationship with did 11 years. And she was the first in that really, it expired a me too movement after she filed her lawsuit their november, even though it was settled the following that, the minute she alleged terrible. Really sexual abuse, including in rape and sexual abuse of minors. So I think hers is by far the strongest case, even though it was settled already. >> Diddy's apology video that he released a few days ago. Will this help or hurt him? >> Well, then it too little too late. It's not for that one cat who first filed dubois came out that these were baseless and outrageous lies. And did he did post that apology on instagram on sunday, but really, it was all so now it the treatment and therapy. But again, we apologize. And 6 months later, when it was clear to the entire world, you are physically abuse in ex-girlfriend. That wasn't particularly moving in my opinion. >> So what's next? What are we looking at? >> Next is the waiting game for, did he? So obviously, there's civil cases that are pending, but really those criminal charges, I fully expect that should a drop. I wouldn't be surprised if he's charged in a rico indictment similar to our kelly. We're talking about a really a pattern of sexual abuse in the video that we saw this weekend. I expect. One of the people it kathy venture. >> Okay, we've lost him at the end there. We were just wrapping up this interview. Nima, if you can hear us. Thank you very much for joining us. We your analysis.
