BBC Sounds Music Radio podcasts.
Hello, I'm in the BBC Radio studio in Washington, dc, and I think Chris Mason is standing by across the Atlantic.
Hello.
Hello.
Yeah, I am in the Newscast HQ in Broadcasting House in London.
Have you managed to rustle up anyone interesting for us to talk to on this episode of Newscast?
Well, I like to cast around and see who might be up for coming on Newscast.
We've had a good lineup of guests, haven't we, in the last few weeks?
Both Conservative leadership contenders, the Prime Minister.
So the bar's high.
I think the bar's high, isn't it?
Anyway, coming to talk to us in just a tick, the Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, in his first interview since Donald Trump won the US election.
And I reckon between the two of us, we can cobble together a few questions for Mr.
Lammy.
What do you think?
Well, yeah, there's the fact that before he was Foreign Secretary and he was a backbencher, he said quite a lot of disobliging things about Donald Trump, who's now just about to return to the White House.
There's the fact that he's in an America file and he's a big American politics nerd.
So actually, just hearing his interpretation of why Trump won, what went wrong for the Democrats, that'll be interesting.
And also there are just so many foreign policy things and buttons that Trump could push that could have quite a big effect on the UK and the rest of the world.
So the Foreign Secretary is gonna have to deal with all of those.
