and u.k. must be able to attract and employ the people they need and we are open to discussing how to facilitate these valuable links. ensure an ongoing dialogue, data protection arrangements and maintaining the links between our people, these are the foundations of the unique and unprecedented partnership. it will need to be tailored to the needs of our economies. this follows the approach of the e.u. as taking with its trade agreements in the past and with its own single market as it has developed. the e.u.'s agreement with ukraine sees is aligned with some areas and not others. the e.u.'s agreement with canada contains provisions to recognize each other's testing on machinery and its agreement with south korea is not. the e.u. is it taking a tailored approach. on fisheries, the commission has been clear that no precedent exists for the sort of accepted wants from the u.k. every free-trade agreement has varying market access depending on the interest of the country involved. if this is cherr

the u.k.'s prime minister expels twenty three russian diplomats from britain in retaliation for the kremlin's alleged involvement in the poisoning of a former russian intelligence agent and his daughter despite police having declared no suspect. to speak is no alternative conclusion other than that the russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of mr scruby and his daughter under the vienna convention the united kingdom will now expel twenty three russian diplomats who have been identified as declared intelligence officers and russia says the u.k. still has not replied to its offer to help with the investigation or its request for access to the chemical used in the incident moscow earlier rejected a midnight ultimatum to answer questions about the origin of the nerve agent use. human rights advocates called on the u.s. congress to chill rejects donald trump choice to be the new cia director over her involvement in the intelligence agency's torture program. a warm welcome you are watchi

president donald trump has said he is with the u.k. all the way germany france all of them have condemned this attack so really people on lining up to support the u.k. here the announcement that we've had today they are just domestic responses to what's taken place that we haven't heard yet of any official official international response as they more likely to come a little bit later so it can be very interesting to see what happens as we learn more more about this attack and what the international community decides to do as you are saying charlotte this is a huge diplomatic route. what we heard from moscow if anything yet well as big it was saying that they've denied any involvement they've had a very strong response to this assegais lover of the foreign minister has even suggested that this is part of a propaganda efforts to discredit russia he was he was very angry that we've also heard from the embassy in russia they've said that if these sanctions if sanctions are imposed on russia expect sanctions in return so this really isn't s

u.k. and russia the standoff ongoing this breaking news on that as a speaker as a u.n. security council emergency meeting taking place in new york it was called earlier by britain and the u.k. within the last hour accused russia of breaching the international chemical weapons convention in new york recently across all this mopin. again as you'd expect. a heated response from britain there the rights or wrongs of it nevertheless this happened on british soil how serious are these allegations being put russia and where do you think it's going to go tonight. well it's a tense scene here at the u.n. security council now this is an emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the united nations and it was convened by britain and we it began with the u.k. ambassador and he made some very strong statements about russia he essentially accused russia of carrying out what he called an unlawful use of force this is the u.k. representative. as the president for more of this we can conclude

u.k. prime minister to resume pinning blame on russia for the poison attack on a former russian intelligence officer turned british claims are made and threats flaunted of course without evidence. crosstalk in the poison attack in britain i'm joined by my guest alexander macarius in london he is a writer on legal affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com also in london we have charles shoe bridge he is a security analyst and a former u.k. army and counterterrorism intelligence officer and in brussels we cross to any much shown she is a former british intelligence officer and writer or across time pros in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate alexander macarius i'd like to go to an article that you just recently wrote and the title is very telling to resume and now demands russia provide prove itself innocence and that's a very curious form of jurisprudence isn't it isn't that backwards what she's asking go ahead. well that is exactly what

london security analyst and former u.k. counterterrorism officer charles bridge believes it's far too early to attribute blame for the poisoning. according to the legal system for example in the u.k. if it was a person being accused of a crime they would be entitled to know what the evidence is against them and of course to be out to use their own scientists or it came to a court of law to challenge that evidence perhaps to show that actually this material this a chemical agent could have been produced elsewhere for example we know that. it's not in the ninety's the united states itself was helping to clean up plants not in russia but in his back is thrown at this material was allegedly produced and so that's just an example of how this material could have come from anywhere in fact that there are so many very many questions still outstanding over this matter and of course it's massively permit your for the government to be saying to rush or any suspect you've got to forty eight hours to respond or else we're going to take

prime minister theresa may outline the u.k. response in parliament expulsion of twenty three russian diplomats and the limit by natural contacts with moscow later today the u.n. security council will discuss the case in new york tonight oh to as promised to help you change during the ongoing investigation here is some of what the prime minister had to say earlier in the house of commons. there is no alternative conclusion other than that the russian state was culpable for the attempted murder of mr script. and for threatening the lives of other british citizens in salzburg including detective sergeant nick beatty this represents an unlawful use of force by the russian state against the united kingdom. under the vienna convention the united kingdom will now expel twenty three russian diplomats who have been identified as undeclared intelligence officers they have just one week to leave this will be the single biggest expulsion for over thirty years and it reflects the fact that this is not the first time that the russian state h

the u.k.'s defense secretary has told russia to quote shut up and go away over moscow's alleged poisoning of former spy sergei scrip hall and his daughter as the diplomatic fallout over the incident continues. it is absolutely atrocious treasures and outrageous will refer to it and sold very we have responded to it for entry. should go away it should sure took we've certainly raised eyebrows because it begins to feel a little bit surreal when this kind of language starts being used in this kind of language comes into play especially if you're expecting to be taken seriously certainly in the world of diplomacy in the u.k. has plans to provide a sample of the nerve agent that has been discussed and revel in in connection to this poisoning to the organization for the prague bishan of chemical weapons which russia is also a part of but it's not providing a sample to russia despite requests and messages multiple times from russia throughout this past week to be able to analyze this nerve agent to tr

and the u.k. and is based in berlin but moves a lot around europe understand because see john tree summations on a one day tour of the u.k. here just one year exactly before bragg's disposed to finally happened what is so why is she doing this to her she's trying to reassure people that breaks it is going to be in their interests and she's going to all of the four countries of the u.k. she's starting in scotland then going to northern oil. northern england and south wales to try to reassure everyone in those places that breaks it is going to do something good for them that's what she's at least trying to set out to do today and to show that the u.k. will stay together through the bracks process that's what that's what aim is well it sounds like something a good thing to be doing given that what the country is is about to be headed into to break that she's trying to reassure the nation that's what leaders supposed to be doing why is she starting in scotland where she's going to a textile company in

the u.k. at the crossroads laura thank you so much for being with us explain third of the high and for our viewers and then we get in the details what is your report say well we look at the past years in which the u.k. supposedly had a recovery from the crisis they've had positive g.d.p. growth ever since two thousand and ten but a closer look so the growth has been somewhat modest and living standards for most people have actually declined ever since really so since a crisis living standards have declined now you've mentioned something in the report called the palmer ratio and use that to sort of as a gauge explain what the palmer ratio is and what does it mean in terms of where the u.k. stacks up so the palmeri so looks at income inequality and it looks how much the top ten percent of earners make as compared to the bottom ninety percent and it's actually in the u.k. something that's been going up in the eighty's a lot going up means that the wealthier have a larger percentage of wealth exac

the u.k. government concluded that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless act we haven't seen anything but highly likely as of yet we have concluded that mr scruby pro and his daughter were poisoned with a shock a military grade nerve agent of a type developed by russia. if britain is so confident that it was not a truck gassed then that means they have the chemical formula samples and the ability to produce it the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people and the united kingdom using a military grade nerve agent. we demand that material proof be provided before making any accusations against us in this high profile case. we requested the russian government to provide an explanation by the end of tuesday the thirteenth of march on how this russian produce nerve agent could have been deployed in salzburg. they provided no credible explanation goodwood we are ready for open and constructive cooperation within the framework of the o

foreign minister's visit to the u.k. has been cancelled and no british officials including members of the world family will be present at the world cup in russia taking place this summer may has said that russia's response to the deadline that was given by midnight last night was a distain given the gravity of events that are rubbled mr speaker it was right to offer russia the opportunity to provide an explanation but their response has demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events. they have provided no credible explanation that they could suggest they don't control the then the agent no explanation as to how this agent came to be used in the united kingdom no explanation as to why russia has an undeclared chemical weapons program in contravention of international law. the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn had to ask the british prime minister whether or not any official requests were sent to russia whether any evidence was provided to russia or any of the box and that the response was a bit unsubst

business in the u.k. if you're a member of the putin in a circle you really aren't allowed to put your money abroad that's part of the deal as to how you get to be part of the inner circle so so really we'd be the u.k. would be would be attacking the assets of some people who are actually very opposed to the piece of regime or. and in many ways because of the amounts of. business that is done between the the u.k. and russia are in many ways the u.k. would be cutting off its nose to spite its face of its if it starts if it started really trying to seize russian assets on any on any kind of scale so i think if they find if they find assets that they really do believe a link and have evidence a link to state insiders that would be another matter but it seems to me that's highly unlikely a very interesting aspect to keep in mind there we want to thank you so much matthew i meant senior teaching fellow kill university in the u.k. for putting this into perspective for us we appreciate it. you're watching news l

the u.k. expelled a large number of soviet diplomats and a lot of commentators have said that was really the shot in the achilles heel of the soviet espionage nest in the u.k. and that it never recovered do you think that this expelling this explosion of these thirty two diplomats could it have the same effect on russia's espionage efforts in the u.k. . well it will have some impact i mean an espionage is quite different now i think you know it's not always the these guys on the ground who cloak and dagger thing a lot of espionage the electronic. you can steal more things over the internet than you probably can that's going and run the way that we look at it ninety seven so this will certainly damage teligent russia. but i don't think it will cripple but it will make rights to look space in a professor of strategic studies or sin entered university carsten phenomena or correspondent in washington and here in the studio over salat gentlemen thank you very much we appreciate your insights tonigh

one of u.k.'s largest companies is moving its headquarters from london to the netherlands but you know labor and sister decision is not due to bricks if it comes at a crucial point in britain's negotiations to leave the european union. south africa's dismissed an australian minister's comments that white farmers should get special visas as they face quote horrific circumstances how my fares minister peter dutton says a civilised country like australia should help he cited reports of land seizures and violence south africa's government says no one is in danger president cyril ramaphosa has vowed to speed up the legal redistribution of land from wealthy whites to poor blacks. can say no that we will not allow land drips we will not allow lending invasions and those who are tempted to resort to such activities must be warned in advance that we will not allow would because if you see the go but up from being illegal it begins to violate the rights of the sold off we can citizens. and rental is histori

last week and from the u.k. for various reasons for me it was because i wanted to give a speech about freedom of speech on speakers corner. and for me i am an american conservative commentator and i simply wanted to enter the u.k. of course i was going to watch martin speech but i was primarily going in to do some interviews i wanted to interview tommy robinson who is outspoken against islam and they essentially labeled him a far right leader who incites racial hatred and that's why they didn't want me to enter to interview him so huge crackdown of censorship but not only you know them banning us but also on the internet right now as we're seeing on platforms like you tube and twitter. all the bans have caused anger in some quarters that supporters are saying that while the right wing activists are being banned radical islamic preachers have been allowed to speak freely and known terrorist suspects are allowed entry into person. the bit ridiculous if you look at us that both of us are as i called an acceptable c

well yes i mean i don't think people in the u.k. realize that lloyd's bill annual bill for lawyers both in-house and external is over a billion pounds now when you look at their profits when you look at their turnover when you look at their assets that's a totally disproportionate amount of money to be spending with lawyers and it says a lot about the way they conduct themselves they know they know they're going to get sued by the regulators they know they're going to get fined and they factor into the balance sheet and there's a bigger budgets there will be legal opinions by the regulators such to regulate but don't get me going on we don't have a regulator in this country it's called the f.c.s. in the wonderful andrew bailey who hopefully now scuppered his chances of taking over from carney but you know the f c a's toothless they're frightened of r.b.s. they're frightened of lloyds they've even said publicly we can't afford a legal action with these banks so that's something that's got to be looked at but you mentioned theory i'm

u.k. police were of course getting many questions regarding where the nerve agent was actually it was i can't comment on that at this hour we're not declaring a person of interest or a suspect at least in a court of law this would at least mean a time out in the world of political game play apparently it means very little thank you for watching out international tonight not a handle on this may be following all might the deepening crisis over the surrogate scruple affair between the u.k. and russia as our news bulletins continue and keep up to date as well on our sites twenty four seven r.t. dot com now for me kevin owen saying thanks for watching i was pretty sure it in our programs continue in your part of the world but after this break. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle it appears and highly likely these are the words used by u.k. prime minister to resume pinning blame on russia for the poison attack on a former russian intelligence officer turne

jay: it does help the u.k.. ultimately, the u.k. is a much smaller market, and in terms of financial markets and the equity market, it is made up of minors and commodity producers and banks. alix: i want to let everyone know where we are at. i think that is david davis talking now and saying, i am confident the e.u. leaders will welcome the deal that is reached , and you wind up having a deal that has been agreed to by the u.k. and the e.u. you are looking at a transition deal as part --at a transition deal and parts of the final bill. so a big breakthrough coming. david davis is now taking the podium. mr. davis says he is confident that bridget leaders will welcome a deal reached. sarah, and a world that we're , whatg about trade wars this that do for the conversation? sarah: i think it as a level of certainty that we were still wondering about in terms of what the u.k. and european negotiations would look like, and so, that does remove part of it. i think where the issues between weree and the u.k. protections were stemming from.

and the u.k. was even will salute him and we are living in a very special time in front of our eyes incredible things are happening the process of replacing the presumption of innocence with the presumption of guilt has taken place this criminal principle is being transferred into international relations and we hate lee as an experienced chemist his talk about crimes committed by russia we've known for years that for you in order to determine the guilty party no investigation is needed today the best kind of proof is suspicion and it is no longer necessary to show to the consul why to use with an unknown new art substance in it it's enough to send a letter displaying an agreed use attitude towards a sovereign state. from there the russian ambassador went on to call for a thorough investigation of the incident and determine exactly who is to blame and what happened and he called for this to be done through the existing international mechanisms to find out who is absolutely responsible and he reassu

the u.k. . received support from the us from france and . the u.k. wants to know why russia boys and this man and what russia is saying that the that we are denying that we poisoned him and this is all that they're saying. they're not saying that there is an investigation that the investigation is not completed that the results of this investigation have not been given to any courts. that the u.k. is part of the on this is a shoo in for the prohibition of chemical weapons and that is why they need to file an official request to the organization regarding this matter they're not saying that russia has expressed. the that. the u.k. needs to file this official request and that we base our actions on an international document ratified by the u.k. the u.s. and all of the countries that are so worried about what's happening right now. they told us we are not going to talk to us and this is a direct violation of the international convention. because when you. are going to do something. that was good

have done in the u.k. there's been a number of other deaths including the death of alexander polygyny who is a a russian whistleblower loop blew the whistle on a massive f.s.b. financial scam and he dropped dead at the age of forty four in front of his house in weybridge surrey the police refused even investigated as a murder and so from from my perspective and from for the perspective of lattimer putin. this is a country where. assassinations can be carried out without any consequence and that i believe was a huge policy failure which has led to the situation we're in right now with mr script on his daughter hold hang on for dear life in a soldier a hospital bill you've become an enemy of law to be a person you're not russian of and you've received death threats does what happened in salzburg a few days ago give you pause for thought are you safe in britain. i don't believe i'm safe in britain at all if you look at this situation as as i said they can go around the russian government and go around killing

there's anybody so the plan is solidarity with the u.k. which apparently includes deliberately avoiding a russian stand at the paris book fair what we're seeing is a whole lot of act first and ask later and frankly we should take more time to find the answers a couple of hours ago the british foreign office said that the country's national security council will meet next week to consider britain's next steps we're closely following the ongoing developments on will keep you posted when more details emerge stay tuned for that. were. highly likely that russia was responsible. for taking you to syria now where civilians are continuing to flee the militant held region of east through russia sponsored humanitarian corridors when i was showing you live drone pictures from one of the to escape routes crowds of people have been crossing into the government controlled area over the last three days seventeen thousand people have managed to flee thousands more are expected to leave over the course of saturday is the biggest single exodus since fightin

i got a knock on the door from the kent u.k. police who handed me this form and that's where things kind of went sideways it's the schedule seven terrorism act and they said you need to read this you are being brought in to be questioned under the terrorism act well other right wing activists have been barred from britain for similar reasons austria's martin and american commentator brittany pettibone no were this month detained for three days before being deported soner had been scheduled to speak at a free speech conference in london's hyde park we were banned last weekend from entering the u.k. for various reason for me because i wanted to give a speech about freedom of speech on speakers corner. and for me i am an american conservative commentator and i simply wanted to enter the u.k. of course i was going to watch martin speech but i was primarily going in to do some interviews i wanted to interview tommy robinson who is outspoken against islam and they essentially labeled him a far right leader who incites racial hatred an

u.k. family suggested she was the victim of a hate crime british police say there's no evidence that it was racially motivated but. will we ever get to the truth inside story. hello welcome to the program i'm adrian cynic and police in the english city say that eighteen year old marion was stoffel was followed by a group of girls was virtually abused and then punched several times she was treated in hospital and released but later suffered a brain haemorrhage she died in a coma three weeks following the attack to thinks of say that they're keeping an open mind but there's no information to suggest that the attack was racially motivated however merriam's family is not so sure they're critical of the authorities in britain the police the hospital and the government for their slow response they say she'd been attacked by the same group last august's a seventeen year old arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm has been released on bail pending further investigations s

security analyst and former u.k. kuntar terrorism officer charles hsu bridge believes it's far too early to up tribute blame for the poisoning. according to the legal system for example in the u.k. if it was a person being accused of a crime they would be entitled to know what the evidence is against them and of course to be able to use their own scientists for it came to a court of law to challenge that evidence perhaps to show that actually this material this a chemical agent could have been produced elsewhere for example we know that. in the ninety's the united states itself was helping to clean up plants not in russia but in his backyard strong where this material was allegedly produced and so that's just an example of how this material could have come from anywhere in fact that there are so many very many questions still outstanding over this matter and of course it's massively premature for the government to be saying to rush or any suspect you've got to forty eight hours to respond or else we're going to take

interview u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson. thank you very much for the interview and welcome on the program faces some days ago you said that it is extremely likely that putin personally gave the order they used the nerve agent to attack their former double spine mistress creep are what they have as evidence of you and the british parliament to support this judgment well i think it's very important first of all to show that we think the the cope roots of this are not the russian people not russia we have no quarrel with with russia. i love russian and it's you know i have russian ancestry so if that's not the issue these are issue is with the kremlin and with the russian state as it currently is and the reason i said what i did was because if you if you look at the. stuff that's being used it's a no beach rock agent according to our scientists at porton down there very good begin to get the a p c w in the or organization for the prohibit of chemical weapons is coming in today to look at the sample that we have of of the nerve

and say for example the u.k. has been honing it skills in the death by chemicals business since shakespeare's macbeth busted blatant englishness the cia james bond shakespear one thing all of my theories have in common is an insane age of conspiracy we're not taking them seriously neither should anyone but when it comes to russia and proof well we've already heard the d.n.a. arguments in the election meddling scandal the story corps practices of the russians who typically. genetically driven to co-opt. protrude international law as being substituted for hashtags ash tag russia did it. highly likely. well highly likely is indeed the term that britain its allies use in their joint statement to conclude that a mosque was culpability for the poisoning the also want russia to tell the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons about the nerve agent which was thought to have been used just all not point one norden graffiti artist has hit out at russia's side its embassy in london at the ses that dine at the r

meanwhile police in the u.k. are investigating the death of a russian exile in london he's understood to be nicholai glu scoff a friend of the now deceased russian oligarch boris berezovsky was granted asylum in the u.k. in twenty ten after serving an earlier five year prison sentence in russia for fraud he was reportedly found dead his home in the british capital late on monday night well given the current political turmoil between london and moscow the western media has been quick to link the case to the poisoning of the former spy and his daughter in school spree and why london's metropolitan police say a country of terror officers are looking into the case quote as a precaution because of associations he heard british authorities say there's no evidence of a connection. security analyst and former u.k. kuntar terrorism officer charles chute bridge believes it's far too early to attribute blame for the poisoning according to the legal system for example in the u.k. if it was a person being accused of a crime t

and the u.k. reached a deal on a transition phase but still no solutions five. and where did the money go we speak to survivors of mexico's aren't great chorus still living in tents and waiting for government help six months on. how lie that sandwich is slowly recovering now across much of europe we'll see if it a little more spring like as we go through the next few days spring downpours across the mediterranean sea some theri heavy rain in and around the balkans that will slide its way for the research as we go through the next day or two still some live the showers that are coming into the bear biscay into spy and portugal will see that what's the weather just drifting its way into the western side of the mediterranean so some nasty weather in store here's a go through tuesday some rough weather in day seven celsius there for london and paris temperatures about where they should be but which should be two in moscow with a high of around freezing you'll notice this warming up here as well though

the u.k. government concluded that it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless act we saw only two plausible explanations either this was a direct attack by russia on my country or russia had lost control of a military grade nerve agent which they had developed we requested the russian government to provide an explanation by the end of june as they the thirteenth of march on how this russian produced nerve agent could have been deployed in seoul. they provided no credible explanation which could suggest they lost control of their nerve agent mr president we therefore have no alternative but to conclude that the russian state was responsible for the attempted murder of mr scriptural and his daughter and police officer nick baillie and for threatening the lives of other british citizens in salzburg mr president this was no common crime it was an unlawful use of force a violation of article two of the united nations charter the basis of the international legal order which t
