And I know that there are people who are going to accuse me of naivety for even asking questions like this, but this is a defining moment in the history of these institutions. And if they are unable to enforce the laws that they themselves have laid down, then there's simply no point in them continuing to exist.

I'm sort of slightly lost for words to articulate how significant this feels at the moment.

The Turkish foreign minister has described Trump's Gaza plan as unacceptable. And Hamas has said that the Trump plan will pour oil on the fire. From a British perspective, our foreign secretary, David Lamy, was at a press conference this morning with his Ukrainian counterpart. And he said that we have always been clear in our belief that we must see two states.

We must see Palestinians live and prosper in their homelands, in Gaza and the West Bank. I'm pleased to hear the unambiguous language from Lamy in that moment.

The global fallout of the US elections keeps happening because this week Trump also announced and then deferred tariffs to Canada and Mexico, as well as applying a 10% tariff on some Chinese goods. But what about the United Kingdom? Sorry, here is another, unfortunately, Donald Trump clip in regards to our government.

I mean, that made almost no sense. If you can try and sort of extract some coherence from Trump's word soup to the BBC from that clip, he's described the UK as way out of line, but maybe OK. We don't seem to be directly in the firing line, but the EU, which seems to be very much firmly in his crosshairs...

That's a hostility that also aligns with a lot of the tech companies that have been outright supporters of him because of some legislation that he's trying to look at in terms of online safety.
