00:00I'm just turning now to some international reaction to all of these developments.

00:03The Scottish First Minister John Swinney, who's a member of your party, has condemned President

00:09Trump's Gaza suggestions as, quote, completely unacceptable.

00:13Would you like to see him take that a little bit further, that condemnation?

00:17He did. I mean, you've not read out the full quote. He called it ethnic cleansing,

00:20and I'm pleased he did, because there's so many leaders who refuse to call it what it is.

00:26They dance around the issue, they tiptoe around it, they beat around the bush,

00:31and they're too afraid to stand up and say what it is.

00:35And that wouldn't be the case, by the way, if it was Vladimir Putin who was saying that he

00:43expects to remove Ukrainians from Kiev, and he'll take them somewhere else, don't worry.

00:50Other Europeans can take them, maybe in Warsaw, maybe even in London and Paris and the capitals

00:55across Europe, but don't worry, I'll turn Kiev into a beautiful piece of real estate for people

01:02to enjoy. We would all, quite rightly, be not just condemning it, but calling it ethnic cleansing

01:08and demanding he get, if he carries out such a plan, gets held accountable for it.
