For the ones who get it done. Sky News, the full story first West Streeting has told Skar News he believes the Prime Minister will face a formal leadership challenge next week The British couple said it was a bit scary when a Russian warship fired warning shots. There yacht In English channel Understatement Hell listen to Che Cat, a ten minute podcast from theayayssews on Wednesday the seventeenth of June, I'm Sakey Ridge. And I'm Wford Frost. Also today, England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia. Let's hope they get off to a flying start like Argentina Overnight Lionel Messy with a hat trick So Sophie. massive set of byia elections, one in particular on Thursday. The focus for the last week has been on John Heley's resignation, the Defense Sectary. And now Wes streeting his Stuck his head up once again The former health seecretary speaking to Kathine Newman last night, what stood out to you? Yeah. so West Streeting has made it pretty clear that He will put himself forward to run for the leadership. he told Kathine Newman that we can't go on with this uncertainty, it will inevitably end up in a contest and ask whether that means there'll be a formal challenge as soon as next week he agreed with that statement. So I think the kind of pause of the fighting, if you like, that I think we've seen over the last couple of weeks, is going to reignite again next week. have whatever happens to be completely honest in Makerfield, we've got this extraordinary set of circumstances where we had all those resignations of course, all those Labour MPs coming forward so they didn't have confidence in the Prime Minister That has gone quiet as everyone awaits the result of A by election like no other. I mean, I cannot Remember in living history, another v election that has had potentially this mons consequences for the rest of us. Yeah, Cn't agree, couldouldn't agree more The other thing I'd just say on this is that John Heley's resignation is obviously massively umped up the pressure on the Prime Minister and the likelihood that things move quickly If indeed Andy Berham wins on Thursday I think they've also highlighted though problem that any new leader will have, which is changing the leader doesn't change the facts or I'd say the numbers which is if you all agree more is needed for defence Where are you going to get it from in the short term? This isn't a question of what you need in year three and you can promise this or that and some hopeful factors. You need it today and the next leader in just as difficult a position as the Prime mininister is because essentially really honest in the short term, it needs to come from welfare, which clearly Prime Minister tried. to reform by his own MPs who will be choosing this next new leader. So changing leader the new leader, if there is one, will suddenly have lot of the same problems to solve. So I think there's almost a split in the Labour Party, I think at the minute about whether or not West Streeting should challenge, or whether or not if Andy Benner wins, there should be almost like a kind of transition of power and ordderly transition if that makes sense. What West Streeting is trying to argue is that actually there does need to be a contest because there needs to be a battle of ideas. in his view, there has to a battle of policies, not just personalities That's the West shooting pitch, right? And he's, I guess is saying that look, because of all these huge issues that we've got Things like defense spending, for example, things like what happens to the welfare budget what comes to taxes? I mean there's so many questions, right? He says that the only way I guess to really kind of forge those ideas in the fire is through a leadership contest So retired British couple Jane and Ellen Kalvy sailing on their little yachts around the English channel just before lunchim on Tuesday just south of the other White when shhots were fired from a Russian or said When I first saw this, I didn't know if this was you know British couple sailing their boat got gotten ne to the Russian shoreline or something, I mean, not that you would, but it's in the English channel. Yeah So the idea that there's any justification whatsoever for a foreign ship ire warning shots is just Obviously, to state the obvious, absurd Russia's Ministry of Defence claims The civilian vessel started, quote, following a dangerous course under engines to approach the ship And after closing the distance to one hundred and fifty meters, the frigate's commander decided to fire preemptively at the vessel's course with small arms I mean, the Ministry of defefence have kind of tried to downplay this a bit. I think they've tried to de escalate, if you like. say the shots weren't aimed at the the vessel, the yacht They they were in an attempt to prevent a possible collision and it shouldn't be viewed as linked to the seizure of a Russian tanker by the UK at weekend but look that. Even the Russian statement says after closing the distance to one hundred and fifty meters, it doesn't sound like it was an impending collision. No My favorite thing about the story is the reaction of Jane and Allen. A bit scary. Yeah It was a little bit scary Guys It's the most British thing I think I've ever heard. I love it. I love it. Well, listen another reminder of the importance this defense spending discussions. How you feeling well for the big game Very good I mean it's time England versus Croatia Dallas nine PM our time I've actually got tomorrow off work Which by the way, I'm aware. I should say is not because of the England game. Sure. It's a happy coincidence because I'm working I'm working Friday because of the Maker field v election, but So yeah, I'm getting that nervous tension up your. I know, so you're going to be able to have a nice bottle of wine to watch the game in a relaxed fashion. I'd never watched an England game in a relaxed fashion just to say. I think you can say you never watched with a bottle of wine. I was like,, that's a lie. I will watch you with a bottle of wine, but more for the comm with the nerves rather than anything else. I mean, look, so nine PM. Croatia, you know, they kind of knocked England out the semifinals of the twenty eighteen World Cup in Moscow but I mean, look I can't be from saying this. I'm having your role here, but you know they're getting on a bit at the Croatian teams. It's literally all the same people. It's like Dad's army of football teams. Oh gosh, we are gonna to regret saying that, aren't we? But I agree. O paper We have got a team and a squad. but has as I put it in this as good a chance as anyone Five teams also have as good whichich doesn't mean it's going be one of those five teams or that we're the one, but I think we've got as good a chance as anyone And I think the key thing here is just leave it all Leave it all on the pitch. and I think What I love most of all This teams love each other all the questions about you know, two cools squad selection does bring a ruthlessness, which maybe we lacked, but most importantly, it's not even about either of the managers of the last few years. got experience now without losing You know, Cain is probably peking even though he's older. Do you what I mean? Yeah. And those younger Saker and everyone else, you know, they're captaining their clubs now. Yeah county. The counterpoint to this is it I felt like last night ball was a bit of a statement attempt from some other people as well. You know, so you had Harand getting a brace, not that you know you expect that to win, but then you had and back pay getting two goals. And Lyel Massay. now thirty eight by the way. gettingetting three By the way, so not only was that his first ever World Cup patrick. It's his sixteenth World Cup goal. So he's now joint with Mirasv closer as the highest scorer in World Cup history So Jimie Clarkarson has revealed he has an aggressive form prostate cancer, Re really sad news. He said it has been caught early, that's good news. In the final episode of Sies five of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime He broke the news overnight as the latest two episodes dropped to also revealed across his social media. and Both, I think It selfie video and the episode capture a very emotional delivery of it. You know we think of Jeremy Cloockson is a sort of
