to see whether an agreement could be reached on the basis that mr johnson needed to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible now that was like a red rag to a bull to the british side and hence the very sort of almost angry response that they gave this afternoon. is at the end no but the fact is that boris johnson's spokesman in an off camera briefing to journalists was pretty stark when he said as far as we're concerned the trade talks are over on speculation that we should ban a could come to london on monday to try and keep the talks going he said look in the e.u. negotiators should only come to london next week if they're prepared to intensify talks and compromise otherwise do not bother. more than a 1000 prisoners who've been on the frontlines of yemen civil war have returned to the capital in the past 2 days the last 2 planes carrying who the fighters who've been held by the sound. arrived in. friday another plane carrying coalition

coastal city of qingdao is known for its beaches and beer but this week it made headlines for a coronavirus cluster the 1st local transmissions discovered in months authorities responded by testing the city's entire population of 11000000 over a period of 5 days after her there are in the us mint still in people to protect themselves and social distance people are sticking to the rules the testing aims to reassure residents thousands of medical workers worked 16 hours a day to complete the mass testing a few cases have been confirmed the patients relate to the qingdao chest hospital where overseas arrivals with carven 1000 were being treated the head of the hospital and the city's health commissioner have been fired several neighborhoods locked down and close contacts traced in quarantined officials have played down concerns of a large scale outbreak. qingdao cases have many appeared in hospital and we have concluded that the scale of the damage it's

he says dumping at sea may be the cheapest option but it's also unnecessary. well the thing to understand is that the government in japan would have everyone believe that it's only one type of radioactivity so called city and that's in the water again that's also not true there are many different people who plights in the water including strontium 90 which is the bone sticking cancer causing isotope. that will be released along with all the other radioactivity in the water over about 30 years starting possibly in 2023 if we can stop them and that water then spreads through washing currents but the reader activity depending on the type of activity concentrates in different marine life and sea weeds and ultimately in the human food chain unfortunately they have just missed the alternatives did not use the best available technology and they have this crisis of over a 1000000 tons of contaminated water. the alternative is very clear which is to

continue to store in more robust tanks the japanese government's own committee in february issued a report we're acknowledging that storage on site after 2022 was possible it ruled out because they said to put them it would take time to negotiate there's also the land outside the fukushima daiichi site which of course is highly contaminated and will not be inhabited by most people from that era for the foreseeable future so the storage option is clearly the grassed option other than rather than releasing directly into the environment and that's what we've been telling the guy japanese government and that's what we'll be demanding that they do this is not over the government's making a decision but it doesn't mean it's going to happen. now swimming with dolphins may be a lifelong dream for some but the thought of seeing them in captivity can be difficult for many now the company behind hollywood films like free willy says it's found
