summit in brussels no one country let me be clear no one country can veto a withdrawal agreement requires at least twenty out of twenty seven to be able to make sure any agreement to spar as long as lot number represents sixty five percent of the population of the european union spain of course fifth largest country in europe by population its vote thank you very much live back with all the latest on that thank you need well now the united arab emirates says it's determined to protect its strategic relationship with britain and day after sentencing of bush a student to life in prison for spying the u.a.e. denied that as you one year old matthew hedges had been treated unfairly insisting he'd been given access to a translator but it said both sides of work to find an amicable solution had his family accuses the gulf state of fabricating evidence his wife is accused the british government of putting its relationship with its ally ahead of her husband's welfare. shouldn't have to get this in. his

innocence as. every. evidence against him is completely. he was through so much training for six months that absolutely nothing that. could be used to go. i was under the impression that they were putting their interests with the u.a.e. a ball of british citizens right for freedom they were stepping on eggshells instead of taking a firm stab. all right let's get more now from paul brennan who joins me in the studio and hearing a very emotional appeal there from the hedges his wife what's likely to happen in this case now well there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity during the course of today the foreign secretary jeremy hunt has summoned the united arab emirates ambassador into the foreign office this morning apparently there was

a very frank conversation that's the foreign offices words not mine and then today in fact about an hour ago daniela to harder the woman that we heard matthew had his wife has also gone into the foreign office to meet with jeremy hunt we don't know what the contents of that will be it will be the pair of them i assume getting together and. coordinating together as to exactly what the next steps are both diplomatically and politically and also in. abu dhabi sorry in dubai the united arab emirates have issued a statement saying that matthew had just was treated fairly they say that they're keen to protect the strategic relationship with britain they say that he was treated according to the constitution and he was provided with translators so it's not true that he wasn't aware of what he was signing so a dip a flurry of activity on both sides that's right and we have seen throughout this the u.a.e. sticking to its position they are now saying that matthew had his has not been treated unfairly what is the likelihood of him being released any time soon in

light of this that's a really tough question because the amount of pressure that there is on the u.a.e. at the moment is immense and it has escalated now to become a serious diplomatic crisis there are important strategic links between the two countries militarily and intelligence wise it's clearly embarrassing for the u.a.e. to have the amount of attention that it's having at the moment on its legal system and don't forget this is a country where dissent of even what would be regarded elsewhere as relatively minor level dissent. falls foul of the u.a.e. is very strict cyber security and counterterrorism laws so i think the u.a.e. would be looking for a way out of this is quickly as possible particularly given the strong terminology that the foreign office is employing on this one you know jeremy hunt the foreign secretary described as an acceptable what has happened to matthew hedges and i

think that will go a long way to making it quite clear to the u.a.e. exactly where britain stands on this thank you very much paul brian still ahead for you on the program anger on the indian ocean island of rain young as france's fuel tanks protests spread overseas. and the family of a missionary murdered while trying to contact an isolated island tribe say they forgive his killers. have a good part of mainland china is gone quiet again the rain has ceased the scouting cloud is cortana don't think it'll be rain bearing and we're left with the day for cross the temperatures in the high teens the low twenty's low humidity yeah there's some fog around that takes a while to go but the sun is in the sky for most of the day if anything temps to slowly rising from shanghai down to hong kong over the next two days the west of
