Sir Keir Starmer flew to Italy to fulfill with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to debate the nation’s asylum processing scheme.
We’re joined by arts and culture writer and commissioning editor Vicky Jessop to discuss the highlights, similar to a 3 award win for Child Reindeer.
Right here’s a totally automated transcript of this episode:
From London, I am Rachelle Abbott, and that is The Commonplace.
Arising: our highlights from the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.
However first, the UK’s Residence Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has mentioned Britain is taking a look at an Italian-style asylum claims processing scheme.
She harassed that the main target of the federal government’s actions was presently on smashing the prison gangs behind the human trafficking commerce.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hailed Italy’s work to scale back the numbers of migrants who threat their lives crossing the Mediterranean.
Over the weekend, 8 migrants died whereas making an attempt to cross the English Channel, and French officers mentioned 53 migrants had been on board the boat, which acquired into problem off the coast of northern France.
Sir Keir Starmer has flown to Italy to fulfill with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome.
On Monday morning, he visited the nation’s Nationwide Coordination Centre for Immigration.
Becoming a member of us now’s The Commonplace’s political editor Nicholas Cecil.
Nic, may you clarify what Italy’s asylum processing scheme is?
Properly, what Italy is taking a look at doing is having asylum claims processed in Albania.
And what this could imply that if these asylum claims had been profitable, these people would have the ability to return and resettle in Italy.
And now this is essential as a result of that is very totally different from the Rwanda scheme, which was pursued by the final Tory administration.
One has to say that the failed Rwanda scheme as a result of the Conservatives did not get a single airplane to take off from Britain to take vital numbers of migrants to Rwanda.
However beneath the Conservatives scheme, it might be a a method ticket.
So, individuals could be despatched to Rwanda, that they had their asylum declare course of there.
In the event that they had been profitable, then they’d be allowed to remain in Rwanda, however they’d not be allowed to come back to Britain.
So, that could be a very vital distinction between what Italy is trying to do and what the earlier Tory authorities was trying to do.
What do you assume Sir Keir Starmer is hoping to study in Italy?
Properly, there’s been plenty of discuss this Albania scheme, however really the main target of the British authorities shouldn’t be actually on this in the mean time.
What they’re taking a look at is how Italy has managed to chop by round two thirds the variety of migrants who’re crossing the Mediterranean in boats, typically risking their lives in very harmful situations.
And Italy has achieved this via a mixture of labor.
A part of that’s work upstream to discourage individuals from coming emigrate, going to Northern Africa after which embarking on boats throughout the channel.
One other factor of that could be very a lot focusing on the gangs behind this.
So that is making an attempt to dismantle the prison gangs driving this commerce.
They’re additionally centered very a lot on return schemes.
So, if an asylum seeker involves Italy and they’re refused asylum, then to rapidly return these individuals from the nations the place they got here.
And the fourth factor is the Albanian scheme.
However the British authorities are very a lot trying to study how one can velocity up returns, how one can fight the commerce and human trafficking commerce upstream, moderately than coping with it as soon as persons are already crossing the channel.
And once more, on the weekend, we noticed one other extraordinarily tragic incident the place eight individuals misplaced their lives.
Are you able to clarify how prison gangs are inflicting issues with migration?
Properly, the alarming state of affairs we’ve got in the mean time, I believe as stress involves bear on these prison gangs, is they’re placing increasingly migrants, males, ladies and kids, into these typically unsee worthy boats, inflatable boats.
They usually’re principally being pushed out into the channel within the hope of reaching Britain.
A few of these boats additionally had the underside taken out of them, the arduous backside, in order that they’re simply inflatable rings, primarily, to try to get much more individuals into these boats.
So, they’re making vital sums of cash.
And that’s a part of the rationale why it is arduous to interrupt what Keir Starmer mentioned at present, is a vile commerce, as a result of it’s a very profitable enterprise.
Do you assume this assembly between Keir and the Italian PM exhibits post-Brexit tensions are easing a bit?
I believe not significantly this assembly, however actually Keir Starmer has very a lot seen it transfer on from Brexit.
And relations with numerous European nations are already enhancing.
The Conservatives had been very a lot locked right into a Brexit mentality for a few years.
Rishi Sunak, to provide him credit score, did attempt to transfer on from that, did attempt to construct higher relations, together with with a greater buying and selling system with Northern Eire and the remainder of the EU.
So sure, Rishi Sunak did make some restricted progress, however I believe we’ll in all probability see a step change in relationships between London and different European capitals.
How vital do you assume these modifications could be for the UK if Keir decides to undertake a few of Italy’s practices?
What Keir Starmer has acquired a bonus in right here is that it’s totally a lot an space of labor that he is aware of very properly.
Properly, having been a Director of Public Prosecutions, he is aware of the prison justice system properly.
So, he is aware of how one can use that to cope with issues.
And we noticed that very a lot within the response that the federal government made to the riots by the far proper.
So, he can see how the prison justice system can be utilized to focus on these gangs.
That is to not say it is going to be a simple drawback to unravel, however he can see how via higher coordination between European and nations in Africa, that their prison justice programs, their legislation enforcement networks, how one can bear down on these gangs and make it more durable and more durable for them to use their evil commerce.
Let’s take a fast break.
Partly two, Vicky Jessop joins us to debate her high Emmy Awards highlights.
I believe the large winner of the evening by way of possibly information protection is Child Reindeer.
Richard Gadd picked up awards for appearing and writing.
And his co-star Jessica Gunning, who performs Martha, his stalker picked up an award as properly.
The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards befell on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
It included a history-making win for Shogun, in addition to a handful of wins for UK drama Child Reindeer.
Vicky Jessop, The Commonplace’s artwork and tradition author and commissioning editor has revealed all of the highlights on our web site and joins us now.
Let’s kick off with the highlights from this 12 months’s Emmys.
I believe the Emmys, versus the Oscars, is not type of the drama machine, I assume.
Perhaps a few of the different award exhibits are.
However yeah, there are some good moments right here.
We had John Oliver, his acceptance speech, the broadcaster and comic, thanking his canine in his acceptance speech and thanking all canines for being very, excellent ladies.
The canine, I believe, was lately sadly put down. And calling his son husband moderately than Hudson.
There was the comic and script author Will Smith.
He cracked a joke in regards to the notorious slap, clearly, being like, yeah, don’t fret, I am not that Will Smith.
And yeah, there have been some enjoyable moments by way of the precise awards as properly.
I imply, like Jodie Foster, extremely picked up her first ever Emmy Award, which is type of wild for Two Detective Night time Nation.
You recognize, she acquired a standing ovation for that.
We had some award upsets with type of The Bear and Hacks, which I believe we’d go right into a bit later.
I believe the large winner of the evening by way of possibly information protection is Child Reindeer.
Richard Gad picked up awards for appearing and writing and his co-star, Jessica Gunning, who performs Martha, his stalker picked up an award as properly.
So yeah, type of a really feel good success story for these guys as properly.
And as you talked about there, Child Reindeer received three awards and Richard Gad made fairly an inspirational speech.
What did you make of Richard’s speech?
Yeah, I imply, clearly he was very emotional.
His voice was type of vibrating.
It regarded like he was holding again tears.
Clearly this implies loads to him.
The present relies on his personal actual life experiences of being stalked and of sexual abuse.
So I assume it should be like very, I suppose vindicating for him to see that imaginative and prescient that he is labored so arduous to create.
You recognize, he is honed this over like years and years.
Lastly, like his imaginative and prescient is acknowledged.
His work has been acknowledged on possibly the largest stage for tv on this planet.
So yeah, I can perceive why he was feeling emotional on the evening.
Shogun was the opposite huge winner.
Why do you assume it is finished so properly?
Yeah, Shogun was an enormous winner.
It broke awards for being the present to scoop probably the most awards in a single 12 months.
I believe particularly for a non-English language drama.
So this present is sort of fully Japanese, English subtitles.
It scooped 18 awards, which is ridiculous throughout just about all classes, appearing, all of the artistic ones, like cinematography, manufacturing design, costume design, all that type of stuff.
So yeah, why did it accomplish that properly? I imply, I assume there’s nostalgia worth.
It is primarily based on this e-book from the Seventies, however it’s simply an incredible present.
right down to the tiniest element seems elegant.
The manufacturing is wonderful.
The directing is wonderful.
I believe it is also very clever.
I believe as a present, it does not actually, it does not indulge its viewers, I suppose.
The plot could be very advanced.
It is set in Japan with a British man who washes up on shore, principally at a time the place foreigners are usually not allowed to be in Japan.
And principally, his journey to be changing into a samurai and changing into concerned in all of the political factions.
I believe possibly the marginally controversial bit is that it received greatest drama sequence, although it was initially pitched as a restricted sequence.
It was speculated to be one season and finished, however then on the final second there was an about flip and the second season has been introduced of Shogun.
What that is going to appear to be?
I do not know as a result of the primary season took so lengthy to come back into fruition and it is primarily based on a e-book and there is just one e-book.
So the place season two goes, I do not know.
And we noticed the Bear lose out to Hacks, which precipitated some delicate controversy.
Apparently, the bear was up for lots of awards and it is casted with awards for varied classes, greatest actor and actress.
However yeah, for the principle awards, it was down as a comedy sequence, which if anybody’s seen the bear, they may know that it is extraordinarily hectic and probably not comedian.
So why it is continued to be nominated as a comedy, I am not completely certain.
The hosts, Eugene and Dan Levy made some jokes on the expense of this resolution, I suppose.
Throughout that opening speech, principally saying, oh yeah, I just like the Bear, we’re not going to make any jokes in our speech.
And yeah, apparently, regardless of being up for an award, really misplaced out to Hacks, which is, you realize, Hacks is a superb present, however simply fairly fascinating because the bear actually did, has cleaned up at earlier awards exhibits this 12 months, final 12 months.
So yeah, that call, I suppose, you realize, I am not on the Emmys Awards judging panel, however I would have an interest to understand how they made that call.

We’re again tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock.
