Скачать или смотреть UK in Crisis Over £35bn Chagos Islands Deal | House of Lords Defies Keir Starmer

The UK government is facing a major political setback after the House of Lords blocked the controversial £35bn Chagos Islands deal.

In this video, we explain why UK peers defied Prime Minister Keir Starmer, what the agreement with Mauritius involves, and why the future of the Diego Garcia military base has become a major point of conflict between the government, opposition parties, and Chagossian groups.
