@Venetia Raney : 我主持了本期节目,讨论了周末发生的重大事件,特别是特朗普与泽连斯基的公开冲突以及基尔·斯塔默组建‘自愿联盟’的倡议。这些事件突显了英国在应对美国新世界秩序时所面临的挑战。 @Roland Oliphant : 我认为基尔·斯塔默关于欧洲处于历史十字路口的言论,总结了当前局势。特朗普与泽连斯基的会面,显示了乌克兰与美国现任政府之间的根本哲学分歧,这反映了美国与英国、欧洲及其他西方国家之间在世界观上的差异。 @David Blair : 我认为英国需要采取六个步骤来应对特朗普的新世界秩序:首先,将国防预算提高到GDP的3%;其次,重新评估国际气候融资的优先级,将资源集中在应对俄罗斯的威胁上;第三,减少对中国的依赖,特别是在可再生能源和电动汽车领域;第四,放弃将查戈斯群岛移交给毛里求斯的计划,以保持对美国的战略杠杆;第五,扣押俄罗斯中央银行在欧洲银行的资产,以资助乌克兰的防御和欧洲的重新武装;第六,重新平衡国家资源,从软实力转向硬实力。 @Henry Bodkin : 我采访了以色列人质家属,他们担心如果停火协议破裂,他们的亲人将面临生命危险。他们呼吁以色列政府优先释放人质,而不是与哈马斯进行复杂的谈判。 @Dalia Kuznir : 我是人质之一的兄弟的嫂子,我分享了我对人质安全和健康的担忧,以及我们对停火协议破裂的恐惧。我们呼吁国际社会采取行动,确保人质安全获释。

Following President Trump and JD Vance's public row with Volodymyr Zelensky, Sir Keir Starmer hosted the Ukrainian leader and vowed to put together a coalition of 'the willing', saying we are at a 'crossroads in history'. So what must Britain do now to survive in Trump’s new world order? The Telegraph's David Blair, former foreign policy speech writer at No10, talks us through the six steps the British Prime Minister should take to adapt.

Plus: As the first stage of the Hamas-Israel ceasefire expired over the weekend, The Telegraph's Israel correspondent Henry Bodkin speaks with the sister-in-law of hostages Iair and Eitan Horn.
