We definitely do not have quiet days anymore in American politics.

Our podcast will help you cut through all the noise.

Make sense of what's happening in the US,

with new podcast episodes arriving throughout the week.

AmeriCast, Listen on BBC Sounds. Well, now, it's all happening as we speak. Laura's just coming off there, having met the Prime Minister. She's got Henry there. I'm in London, but the action's in Liverpool. The action is in Liverpool. Would you find if you were here next year, Paddy, you should come too. What happened? Sounds like a plan. What happened? What happened? Well, the Prime Minister came in to speak to us and the nation this morning. It's quite a long time since he's done a big live TV interview. We couldn't find one since March when he last spoke to us about Ukraine. And I thought, we'll get into this on today's newscast, he seemed to be in rather punchier form than of late, Henry. Yeah, I think he was pepped up. I think he needed to be,

given the months he's had, the weeks he's had, the days he's had, the 14 months he's had

since he entered Downing Street. I mean, things have not necessarily gone as well as he would

have liked them to. And clearly, the mood of the next few days that he and his team want to

project is that they've got the energy and the ideas to take on reform. And it's very clearly

reform. And I think this interview was the first opportunity for him to signal that.

Well, there was certainly lots of news from it. So should we get on with it, Paddy. All that news on this Sunday's newscast. Newscast from the BBC. Fat boy sliver me in the classroom doing our violin lessons. I was the tappletail in the class. Can I have an apology, please? I trust almost nobody. Then daddy has to sometimes do strong language. Next time in Moscow. I feel delulu with no salulu. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey. Hello, it's Patty at B.H. Broadcasting House in London. And it's Laura in the lovely museum of Liverpool in Liverpool. And it is Henry sitting next to Laura in the lovely museum of Liverpool in Liverpool. And I hope if you've got this only in your ears, maybe try and watch it on Iplay or something, just so we can show you this beautiful view of this fine city and the Marzay in the back of our shot. Yes, gorgeous, isn't it? It's absolutely. It's gorgeous. It should be there all the time. the time. It's not difficult to see why they film so many films, including the Gothic ones

there. It's gorgeous. It should be there all the time. It's not difficult to see why they filmed so many films, including the Gothic ones there. It's gorgeous. It is. Beautiful Liverpool Harborside. So, I always feel a bit after a big interview, a bit in a days, and not quite sure what really happened. So, Henry, if you're writing the story for the BBC website or for

the news outlets that you're going to do later for the day or for the newspapers, what would

you be scribbling about immediately? I think the, well, so usually the question, to take people

sort of inside the machine, the question we'll all ask ourselves as journalists after an interview

like that is what was the best line, by which we mean what was the most interesting or new or provocative thing that the Prime Minister said. And the answer in this case, I think

pretty clearly, is when he said that Nigel Farage's immigration policy unveiled at the start

of this week is racist. Now, we knew the Prime Minister was going to step up the language and the

nature of his attacks on Reform
