     Labour and Lib Dem leaders on final push for UK votes

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Labour and Liberal Democrat leaders on the final push for votes on the last day of campaigning :: July 3, 2024 :: Carmarthenshire, Wales :: Keir Starmer, Labour Party leader :: "We are fighting for every vote, and across the country there will be constituencies which will go down to the wire, and therefore we will continue to fight until 10:00 tomorrow night, making the case that change only happens if you vote for it." :: Chippenham, England :: Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat leader :: "I'm really proud that in this election campaign, as well as having a bit of fun, we brought the issue of caring out of the shadows. And we've made the argument that if you look after family carers, if you look after professional carers, you can rescue our NHS as well." Starmer was focused on Labour's fear that voters could see the result as a foregone conclusion and stay at home during polling on Thursday (July 4), or register protest votes with smaller parties. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey continued his more novel approach to campaigning on Wednesday, following his earlier water sport exploits and bungee jump with a tractor race across a field in southwest England, where he hopes to make gains against the Conservatives.

     Reform's Farage aims to shake up UK politics after election

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Nigel Farage’s supporters are out in full force in England's Clacton-on-Sea to ensure he wins his first ever seat in parliament. Representing the right-wing Reform party, Farage says a victory would shake up British politics, in the same way that Marine Le Pen's National Rally is doing in France. A supporter of Donald Trump's, he's the man who sold Brexit to millions of voters but failed seven times to be voted in. This time, Farage rates his chances of winning a seat in this seaside town at over 50%. “We've been going a month and a day at full pelt with this, getting millions of votes. We're going to do that. I'm certain of it. Getting some seats. I'm certain of it. If it's a lot more than that, then fantastic. But, I mean, I've made it clear from the start to everybody, including prospective voters. This is our first significant step towards a much longer goal, term goal, which is aiming at 2029, but also is aiming at building a mass movement for common sense across the country.” Reform has kicked out several candidates for reported racist or offensive comments during the campaign. Farage was buoyed by the success of Le Pen's anti-immigration far-right RN party, but he denies Reform is racist. The party pledges to stop "non-essential" immigration, leave the European Convention on Human Rights and push migrants arriving by small boats back to France before they land on British shores. “What I inherited a month ago was a complete start up. A lot of those candidates, as I now understand it, were kind of begged for at the last minute because they didn't have enough people, they didn't have the resources, the manpower to vet them. So have we got a few bad apples? Yeah, we have, rather like the Greens." Farage has always sought to smash the status quo in British politics. And his surprise about-turn a month ago to enter the election race as Reform’s leader threw the ruling Conservatives into a panic. Until then, most had discounted the party's candidates as little more than a headache. But the Conservatives are divided after 14 years in power and forecast for an overwhelming defeat by Labour. Reform is set to win more votes but fewer seats than the long-established third party in British politics, the Liberal Democrats.

     AI Weekly: watchdogs on the prowl

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: From competition enforcers targeting Big Tech, to why bots aren’t, yet, deciding elections, this is AI Weekly. Nvidia looks set to face antitrust charges in France. Reuters sources say watchdogs are concerned by the firm’s dominance in AI systems. If confirmed, it would be the first action against the chip champion by a national enforcer. The EU has a bunch of big names in its crosshairs. Regulators are looking at Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI, and Google’s partnership with Samsung. Worries include whether Big Tech is blocking smaller rivals from reaching users and businesses. In a year of big elections, AI isn’t yet doing much to sway votes. That’s the conclusion of experts in the UK who studied the technology's impact on 112 national elections. Researcher Sam Stockwell says it’s more that AI is making existing problems worse: “Things such as an erosion of trust in governments and information sources, deepened political polarisation, the kind of consolidation of echo chambers. All of these things, I think, deepfakes and AI threats are just enhancing.” Apple is getting a seat on OpenAI’s board, sort of. Media reports say App Store chief Phil Schiller will get observer status, but no voting rights. It’s all part of last month’s deal to integrate the ChatGPT maker’s tech into Apple products. And Baidu has launched an upgraded version of its AI model - dubbed Ernie 4.0 Turbo. The Chinese search giant wants to maintain its position in the country’s competitive AI market. It says its Ernie chatbot has hit 300 million users since launch.

     Boris Johnson makes last-ditch election rallying cry

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: July 2, 2024 :: London, England :: Boris Johnson makes surprise speech for Rishi Sunak, ahead of Thursday's elections :: Boris Johnson, Former British Prime Minister :: "If you are slightly surprised to see me, if you are slightly surprised, I will be absolutely clear that I was glad when Rishi asked me to help. Of course I couldn't say no. And I'm here for one reason and one reason only, which is the same reason as all of you. All of us are here. We're here because we love our country and whatever, whatever our differences, whatever our differences, they are utterly trivial by comparison with the disaster we may face if these so-called opinion polls are right." :: Johnson had been forced to resign as PM in 2022 after a mutiny Sunak helped start :: Rishi Sunak, British Prime Minister :: "Isn't it great, isn't it great to have all conservative family united my friends?" "Boris is right to say now is the time for all conservatives to come together to deny Labor that supermajority that Keir Starmer craves. We have 48 hours to save Britain from the danger of a Labor government." In a speech listing many of his own achievements, Johnson gave little personal endorsement to Sunak but focused on what he said were the dangers of the opposition Labour Party winning power. Johnson, one of British politics' most recognizable figures and a proven election winner, has spent almost the entire campaign on the sidelines, having quit frontline politics in 2023. He has endorsed individual candidates in video messages but has not previously appeared at big campaign events. Sunak, who appeared after - but not alongside - Johnson on the stage, thanked his predecessor.

     Rep.

Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent liberal on the House Oversight Committee, said the ruling belies a central premise of America’s constitutional design — namely, that no one is above the law — and threatens to put the country on a path to tyranny.

     Biden blasts Supreme Court ruling on immunity

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday criticized the day's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which has largely been seen as a win for his election rival, former President Donald Trump. “This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law.” In calm, measured remarks from the White House, Biden said the ruling set a ‘dangerous precedent’. “For all practical purposes, today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle, and it's a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.” The U.S. Supreme Court found on Monday in a 6-3 ruling that Trump cannot be prosecuted for any actions that were within his constitutional powers as president, but can be for private acts. It’s a landmark ruling recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution– but stops short of allowing absolute immunity for all official acts, as Trump's lawyers advocated. The decision means it's unlikely Trump will be tried before the election on charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith over his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, one of four criminal cases Trump has faced. On Monday Biden said the public has a right to know the results of that prosecution before November's election. "Now, because of today's decision, that is highly, highly unlikely. It's a terrible disservice to the people of this nation.” Biden’s remarks were also his first from the White House since his shaky debate against Trump last week, which led to calls for the 81-year-old to withdraw from the race. After stumbling over his words at the Atlanta debate, Biden is being closely scrutinized for signs that he is up to the job of running for re-election and of governing the country for four more years.

     The UK will hold its first election in almost 5 years. Here's what to know

     Associated Press Videos

     The UK will hold its first national election in almost five years on Thursday, with opinion polls suggesting that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party will be punished for failing to deliver on promises made during 14 years in power. The centre-right Conservatives took power during the depths of the global financial crisis and have won three more elections since then. But those years have been marked by a sluggish economy, declining public services and a series of scandals, making the Tories, as they are commonly known, easy targets for critics on the left and right. The Labour Party, which leans to the left and is lead by Sir Keir Starmer, is far ahead in most opinion polls after focusing its campaign on a single word: Change.

     Biden warns SCOTUS ruling sets a 'dangerous precedent'

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: July 1, 2024 :: Biden says Supreme Court's immunity ruling sets a 'dangerous precedent' :: Washington, D.C. :: "This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law. Not even the President of United States. But with today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity that fundamentally changed. For all, for all practical purposes, today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle, and it's a dangerous precedent because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone." :: "The American people must decide whether Donald Trump's assault on our democracy on January 6th makes him unfit for public office in the highest office in the land. The American people must decide if Trump's embrace of violence to preserve his power is acceptable. Perhaps most importantly, the American people must decide if they want to entrust the president once again, the presidency to Donald Trump now knowing he'll be more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it." In calm, measured remarks from the White House, Biden said the decision meant Trump was highly unlikely to go on trial before the Nov. 5 election for his role in seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election . The U.S. Supreme Court found on Monday that Trump cannot be prosecuted for any actions that were within his constitutional powers as president, but can be for private acts, in a landmark ruling recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution. Biden is running for re-election against Trump and has been sharply critical of his rival's actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, raid on the U.S. Capitol by Trump's supporters, who believed Trump's false claims that he had won the 2020 election.
