This is Times Radio's Morning Briefing on Wednesday the 23rd of September. I'm Darrell Jackson. The Prime Minister has announced new plans to detect, attribute and disrupt hostile attacks during his speech at the UN General Assembly overnight.

0:48I'm asking our security chiefs in the UK to begin work on a new national centre for information defence to detect, attribute and disrupt these kinds of hostile state information attacks to support and defend our democracy. I know this is a shared challenge. So we are going to use our experience in the UK and the fact that we have already been through this shock starting 10 years ago to help other countries. Andy Burnham pointed to Russian attempts to spread lies and disinformation and says the UK has evidence that Russia tried to interfere with the 2019 general election. He says the Kremlin spends around£1.3 billion each year on manipulating information.

1:38The PM says that AI will only multiply the threat posed by disinformation campaigns and cyber attacks. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister says Donald Trump is always welcome to visit the UK as the pair held their first face-to-face talks in New York. Andy Burnham says it was positive. The US president claims relations between the two countries are more up now that Mr Burnham is in office. Katie Perrier was Director of Communications for Theresa May when she was Prime Minister and told Times Radio that it was a win for both sides. They came out with a mutual agreement that they saw eye to eye on a number of different things.

2:16I thought Andy Burnham started off very nervous and picking out his words and slowly going over each and every word and then got a little bit more relaxed as time went on and a little bit more free-flowing. Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Unfortunately, Donald Trump has said he faces a big decision over whether to annihilate Iran or make a peace deal. It comes as US delegates held a three-hour meeting with their Iranian counterparts. Former US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leith told Times Radio that it's a positive sign but added she says that in a guarded way.

2:52It's been very clear for some time that all the push for this kind of re-engagement by the U.S. has come from American partners, not from the U.S. side itself. So we know that Qatar, Pakistan, other Gulf partners, Turkey, have been urging the administration to de-escalate and to re-engage. And around 60 migrants who refused help from the French Coast Guard and spent more than 30 hours at sea have arrived in Dover. British rescue boats were sent to collect the passengers of the migrant dinghy who will be transferred to border security command the boat which was shadowed by a french coast guard vessel left the normandy coast on monday morning and you can hear more on all of those stories throughout the day on times radio this episode of the times radio news briefing is sponsored by pwc ai is everywhere in the news in our hands but return on investment not so much.
