Georgian government drops 'Russian law' after days of protests In many ways they're seen as just kind of looking at how to look after themselves to maintain their grip on power And these kinds of tools they're borrowing from the Kremlin playbook because it's effective at quelling dissent So they're you could argue that they're they're not exactly pro-russian They're just behaving in a way that will in an authoritarian way that will enable them to hold Sure.

Windsor Framework has received a 'cautious welcome' in Northern Ireland

Windsor Framework has received a 'cautious welcome' in Northern Ireland All right, let's get the view now of Michelle O'Neill, because this time last week all the talk was of the PM's deal with the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol. This seemed to get a decent enough reaction from most parts, but of course the big question is what do the DUP do, the largest unionist party in Northern Ireland? They say they won't rejoin power sharing if they're not happy. Well, the largest party at Stormont is Shinfeng, and its leader there would have been First Minister. That's Michelle O'Neill. She joins us live now. Thank you very much for being on the programme this morning. Has Rishi Sineq negotiated a good deal for Northern Ireland? Well, I think we've all had the best part of a week now to reflect on the deal, and I think it's fair to say that the ...

Passengers at London Waterloo react to the 5.9% increase in fares

Passengers at London Waterloo react to the 5.9% increase in fares And what's your reaction to the average 5.9% increase in fares today in England and Wales? Well I mean obviously everyone's cost has gone up, the electricity to run the railway and everything else but prices were very very high compared to the rest of Europe anyway. So it does cut a little bit because we've all got changes at the moment. It's not really happy to hear it kind of increasing like that. Yeah I think it's tough times we're living in and considering how much we depend on public transport these days it's not going to be well received I think by many to hear that it's increasing. Considering the current state of the trains as well, this mix with the price increase is probably going to be met with some resistance I would say. It's amazing, it just keeps going all the time you ...

Migrant crossings: 'Can you stop the small boats?' Are you going to be able to stop the small boats? Well, that's our objective. We couldn't have been clearer in putting it as one of the five central promises of this government to stop the boats, secure our borders and bring fairness back to our asylum system. We're going to do everything in our power to achieve that, and ultimately, it will be for the public to decide at the next general election whether we've succeeded or not. But be in no doubt that the Prime Minister of the Home Section and I will do everything we can to achieve that goal. I'm just interested in listening to some of the language you're using there. It's your objective. You're going to do everything you can to achieve it, not saying, yeah, we are going to stop the small boats. We are going to stop the small boats, and we wi...

Harry and Meghan are ‘concerned’ about attending King Charles’ coronation There is no sign of any kind of reconciliation at the moment. And there is certainly no sign now that Harry is going to get that apology that he is so desperate for. Now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are apparently an email correspondence with the King's Office about whether they're going to attend the coronation. It's not clear if they're going to come. Sarah Husson is TalkTV's Royal Editor who joins us this morning. Hi, Sarah. Morning to you, Rosie. So there had been a little bit of speculation as to whether they'd be even be invited at all. It seems as though they have been asked to save the date.
