Gordon Brown - BBC News - Hardtalk now

Exclusive interview.

The leader of the richest and most powerful nation on earth has just cut funding for the UN agency dedicated to the fight against global disease. What does this say about the ability of the international community to join forces to combat the threat of Covid-19?

Stephen Sackur speaks to the former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown who is leading an effort to get G20 leaders to commit to a massive joint response to the pandemic. Is there any hope of real global cooperation in the current geopolitical climate?

Are you including China and Russia in the - "international community" - "to join forces"?

Worst PM in history.

Gordon never caused the international banking crisis that enveloped most of the world but it did for his Prime Ministership that's for sure.  THX for this anyway Gordy!

mightymac..is that in the betting without Bojo market?

Without Gordy Blair & Mandelson would have manoeuvered us into adopting Euro currency.   Brexiteers should be grateful Gordon was born

2nd worst ever priminister behind Tony 'WMD' Blair.

The usa will set up a better version of W.H.O, silly to claim W.H.O are dedicated to fight against global diseases they are just a chicom mouthpiece.
