- Shelagh Fogarty is joined by Christopher Steele, former officer with the Secret Intelligence Service and head of the MI6 Russia Desk, after the Russian President taunted Britain with a smirk on his face as he refused to rule out striking defence manufacturers in British territory.
Russia has ramped up its threats against Britain in recent weeks after Prime Minister Andy Burnham handed Ukraine blueprints for British-made Storm Shadow missiles.
Putin’s mouthpieces have since issued stark warnings to the UK, threatening a “semi-military” response claiming Britain is now “involved” in Russia’s war in Ukraine. It also warned the UK of consequences amid reports of Ukraine using British drones in attacks.

- Andy Burnham has faced MPs for the first time since becoming PM. The performance received mixed reviews.
During his speech, he blamed 'privatisation, austerity, and Brexit' for Britain's economic woes, and said that the country has been going in the wrong direction since the 70's, which seemed to be a nod to Thatcher.
James O'Brien and LBC's callers digest the PM's debut, and discuss whether he could be right about the 'prevailing economic theory' of Britain's last 70 years.

- 00:19 City AM Editor-in-Chief Christian May reacts to front pages highlighting concerns about the bond markets.
03:33 Nick Ferrari asks minister Sally Jameson whether she's worried about an increase in borrowing costs.
Andy Burnham's speech has made the economic task at hand more difficult, as borrowing costs spiked in the wake of his address to the House.
Government long-term borrowing costs have been sent soaring to their highest levels for 28 years, amid a global bond sell-off partly linked to signs of escalation in the Middle East conflict and the concern that inflation could follow.
The yield on 10-year gilts stretched to 5.22% from 5.15% on Friday, while the 30-year hit 5.85%, up from 5.79% on Friday.
The 10-year gilt had earlier traded as high as 5.25%, an 18-year high, and the 30-year at 5.89%, a level last seen in 1998.

- Andy Burnham has promised major change, but how will he pay for it?
As the government prepares for its next budget, experts discuss the growing pressure on public finances, and whether Burnham can deliver the radical agenda he has promised.
Former senior Ministry of Defence and NATO official Nicholas Williams warns that the UK risks losing credibility if it fails to meet its defence spending commitments, while economist Julian Jessop argues that higher taxes may ultimately be needed to fund the government’s ambitions.

- 'Crime has gone down - it's racism' | Former Met Superintendent on Notting Hill Carnival
- Runtime
- 9:07
- Date posted
- 21 days ago
- Description
- Nusrit Mehtab, former Superintendent at the Metropolitan Police and once the Met’s most senior female ethnic minority officer, joins Matthew Wright to discuss Notting Hill Carnival.
She argues that the Carnival is too often framed through crime and violence, while other major events such as Glastonbury and football are treated very differently by the media.
Mehtab also discusses the policing costs of Carnival, claims that serious crime at the event has fallen, and why she believes racism is part of the way the Carnival is portrayed.
She makes the case for celebrating Carnival as an important part of London’s diverse communities, and even suggests that Britain needs more carnivals, not fewer.
Caller Jo, however, says she'd be 'gutted' if she paid that much to live in the area and it got trashed like that every year.
