Hello, I'm in the BBC Radio Studio in Washington, D.C.

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 you 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

Lamy, 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 going to have to deal with all of those.

So, I mean, it's, yeah, it would be great we had two hours with them, Joe Rogan style,

but I think we're probably going to have about 10 minutes. We've got, there's oodles of implications, aren't there?
