if‘ai‘it it"ui‘ii fuc— ll-‘llll fll— 1“ ul “ll ‘ll ll'le‘ll lll— 1ll ul “l1 ll llll: competing that after importing the beast of siberia. a very delicate time to have these conversations but boris clearly feels he has something he has to follow up on. well, this is interesting. the daily express, boris in threat to boycott world cup, putin warned of a claim he ordered poisoning of russian double agent. a similar headline here, britain's world cup threat to russia. camilla, borisjohnson as the foreign secretary, our leading diplomat around the world, a representative on the world stage, standing in the commons to say if it is russia, that is pretty century because it might not be russia, so he must know something we do not know. we would hope that foreign secretary is well briefed on the detail around this. to be fair to mr johnson, there is a sense of the foreign secretary had to address this, it has been running across the newswi res this, it has been running across the newswires all day and there is a suspicion there may be another case of russian poisoning on british soil, we need to know. but these

might disagree, they have done an investigation pointing out before this happened, there have been 1a different poisoning or other incident involving people who have been enemies of the kremlin and they have gone unreported and under investigated by the home office and authorities. —— macro two. this is high profile and has happened in public view in peach macro. there was a need for boris to respond. his words were initially misconstrued and people thought he said the world cup team would not be competing, he is talking about the delegation and that includes prince william cup which could be diplomatically tricky. hugely controversial, awarding russia this world cup. it was not something... to go further is very in century. reading the words from the russian embassy accusing written of the demonisation of russia. so things getting very tense indeed. the telegraph is also talking about some of the words

putin was said to have used. sorry to interrupt, the headline on the front page of the telegraph, putin swore reve ng e front page of the telegraph, putin swore revenge on poisoned russian spy. swore revenge on poisoned russian spy. he said this in 2010. and this spy spy. he said this in 2010. and this spy swap involves the man now in hospital, mr skripal. he was part of that and this was the first russian swa p that and this was the first russian swap ever, apparently. it was the first russian swap ever and this is eight years later. but if you read the words of mr putin at the time of his release, he said, traitors will click the bucket, trust me, these people betrayed their friends, their brothers in arms. whatever they got in exchange for it, those 30 pieces of silver they were given, they will choke on them. quite extraordinary. the suggestion a delegation would not go to the world cup, if it is clear that russia was involved in this, and swilling cannot go now, can he? no, and it is interesting

from perspective national prince william. royals need to remain neutral and not get involved in scandal. but as you pointed out, the world cup bid was already drenched in scandal and prince william talked about sepp blatter and his involvement at the time in corruption scandals. so it is tricky, but to be fair, on this, the royals do take the advice from the foreign and commonwealth office and with boris at the helm, what he says has two apply. you alluded to this earlier about getting gas from siberia. if russia was involved in this, it is proved to be, and britain needs to rally round its european partners for instance in order to get more sanctions placed on them, how much more difficult is that, bearing in mind we are leaving the european union and the germans and french get their oil from russia. that is exactly it, it is the fact we are on this road where

we have to put more pressure on russia, there is already pressure and sanctions in some areas, but areas such as energy have largely been left alone because we know we do have a problem with energy supplies. even more true if you are germany. we have seen the pictures of angela merkel and putin over the years looking more friendly that other political leaders and that is because germany is so reliant on russia. this is an incredibly tricky time underplaying the screws could be even trickier. there are countries in europe that did not wa nt countries in europe that did not want tough sanctions put on russia for putting their army into crimea and is taking parts of that area and putting their troops into ukraine. this is going to be very difficult indeed. even if it is 14 and explained deaths that lay at the kremlin's doors and who knows if that's true, we will have a hard time convincing the rest of europe to back us up. it is notjust boris

johnson, defence secretary gavin williamson warned about cyber attacks on our energies lies. he was widely ridiculed for that! now gavin williamson is a saint! perhaps! we shall see! we shall see. financial times, the korean detente and pyongyang hinting at the end of the nuclear arms push, what you make of that? i wonder if the winter olympics has played a part in this! obviously there has been a meeting of the mines and talking about denuclearisation, trump in the middle trying to take some credit for this new—found approach and a peace accord. you are saying what do i make of it? we said backstage, these momentous news events keep happening! they are great for copy, but it does leave journalists saying, where can i take this now? some north korea, they have spent

the last 30, 40 years trying to get a viable nuclear weapon and now they are within inches of getting this weapon and they turn around and say, weapon and they turn around and say, we are willing to give it up for security guarantees. don't call me a cynic, and call me a cynic! i am not impressed! you think this is a double bluff? something has not quite gone to plan for north korea. well, we had a great time in the winter olympics! it is interesting because if it is to do with the winter olympics, that could soften their minds. all that snow! and does it really matter whether we go to moscow for the world cup? maybe it does, just to put the opposite position on it. if through the power of teamwork and having face—to—face meetings for the first time in a long time through the neutral motion ofa

long time through the neutral motion of a global sporting event has had an impact on relations, i know we should be cynical and reserve judgment, but we should also say, 0k, judgment, but we should also say, ok, get on with that and we will support you as the rest of the world wa nts support you as the rest of the world wants them to have peace between them and not to have kimjong—un blasting missiles into the sky!m wilting mle?-i?»-m~ffls‘3§§f ' brought us 151; “my?" is . t" brought us to 5m???" if: . t" has brouahlus tothis! options willing to thank you, donald! m 5? i . ~ man who jfiiéji 1777: 1 z
