a former russian spy at his daughter are believed to have been poisoned with a nerve agent according to u.k. police so again you'll see a script parlor in a critical condition after being found unconscious in the city of solsbury on sunday the country's top counterterrorism officer says that the pair were deliberately targeted. this is being treated as a major incident involving attempted murder by administration of a nerve agents i will not be providing clearly information. about the exact substance that has been identified so his scripts are used to serve in russia's military intelligence in one hundred ninety five he became a double agent passing data to the united kingdom russia called script file in two thousand and four and later convicted him of revealing the identities of russian secret agents in europe he was sentenced as a result to thirteen years in prison but he only served four of those before being

released as part of a high profile spy swap with the united states later he was flown to britain here's what the u.k. home secretary said earlier on thursday in parliament. the use of it. is a brazen. act but if we are to be rigorous in this investigation we must avoid speculation and allow the police to carry on the first occasion well that was her updating the house of commons on this case and she cautioned against speculation and not just speculation in the media it's something that now the politicians are doing as well many of them have pointed the finger of blame squarely at last and some are even using it as an opportunity to push for more defense spending take a listen to the stunt show evidence against russia very strong who would harm. the. defense if the first use of the room and spending two percent of the

friends is now not enough there will come a time for tradition and there will be consequences and there will be further information that follows but now i'm concerned about the incident and the consequences around and actually speaking in an interview this morning the defense secretary gavin williamson pulled that thread as well he refused to say whether or not he thought moscow was behind the attack on sergei script but almost in the same breath he also referred to russia as an ever greater threat despite the home secretary's appeal for everybody to keep a cool head about this news stories about sergei script pollen the therese just keep on coming one media report has even linked him to the intelligence that came up with that so-called dodgy dossier on donald trump so some pretty wild theories swirling around in the meantime the police are getting on with the police

investigation somewhere where they might actually on a few facts it's now been divided into three separate sites that investigation the script files. home the pub where they were drinking on sunday with their daughter and the pizza restaurant where sergey script allen his daughter are thought to have eaten and the police say that they're combing through all the c.c.t.v. footage that they have and they're building a detailed timeline of events they've got hundreds of officers working around the clock trying to find out who it was that used that nerve gas on sergei script powell and his daughter and why. racially motivated hostility and crimes against germans in berlin is becoming more commonplace according to the capital cities security chief peter oliver explains. the burly interior minister has had some pretty unexpected things to say about how native germans trust in the nation's capital i have heard it's not the norm but it is becoming more common to

keep quiet about it would be wrong a recent survey has shown that where is this time last year around two thirds of the said they felt safe in their city that's around just over half these days while those that said they felt very insecure it risen from nine percent a year ago to around sixteen percent right now as for what is fueling fears or sort of pointed towards the influx of refugees and migrants into areas like this . district the local integration officer here says this well refugees don't fear arrest is they know that they'll be instantly released by the police should they be caught breaking the law that says the i don't think crime has decreased on the contrary it's actually increased i'd say ninety five percent of the crimes here are committed by foreigners that's way too much i think in general

. people start to panic way earlier and this is way news spread quite quickly and. i would say that berlin has gotten more dangerous than any pain i think it's just because of all the news server like this spread all over the balloon and they just make a big deal out of every time the crime that's committed. this is you and so political our politicians should be made to commute using the underground for one week and be made to hang out in this neighborhood that way they would see what the situation is really like has become very hostile and aggressive not nice at all. some of the politicians who represent the area say that perception of danger could become the new reality if a majority of the people have the feeling that they don't feel secure anymore and there is some steps and basics for that many things that are not even declared to the police as crime or as a rassmann or whatever you could call it because you know well the police cannot do

anything about it because our justice system is like that well they come in for maybe five hours and then they let them off again punishment is something that evidently or. in berlin context isn't there anymore and perhaps it's the thing that things could get worse that's driving public opinion to feel that the german capital has become less safe peter all of our. people in california seem to be getting more annoyed about automation for example in san francisco been a number of attacks on self driving cars with passers by banging on the cars windows and on it in the same city a robotic guard was taken out of service after a public outcry the security posture in question was given the job of showing the way homeless people from outside business offices was vandalized though several times during its patrols now a new robotic kitchen assistant working in a burger joint has been slammed to.

flipping the robot as it's known as prompted the twitter hash tag the rise of the robots with some complaining jobs are being stolen from people others though see automation as well inevitable one expert told us it's no surprise some people are angry. robotics is developing very fast and it's going to have big impacts it's already having big so it's not surprising that you're already seeing these kinds of reactions from people when you start to talk about. half of jobs are being threatened by the introduction of into the economy. fifty percent unemployment ok that is a crisis that is

a social political economic crisis and one of the possible outcomes and one of the likely possible alternatives is is is massive violence and you know a lot of this kind of vandalism and salazar's i think you'll be seeing you'll be seeing even larger scale disruptions if there aren't appropriate adjustments in in our political and economic arrangements we need to start redistributing things more fairly we need to start to pay people to take care of people and clean up the communities and to do so many things and we in the end to make sure that people benefit technology instead of being dispossessed by technology. story of a russian m.p. he's accused of harassing female journalists has been making headlines this week despite denying those accusations the m. pain decided to apologize and he's checking in vegas has more. the man in the

spotlight is leonid slutsky a member of the russian duma and the scandal actually erupted in mid february when the first accusations of sexual harassment surface by female journalists and since then it has snowballed with more and more women coming forward one of those has been a reporter from the b.b.c.'s russian service and she joined the group saying that she has a recording of an instant worse lidsky made inappropriate advances and also groped her as well at this point the recording has yet to be released in full and throughout all this has denied the claim saying that it's actually just a smear campaign that was until today today is of course international women's day and he used the opportunity to mix in the polje end with a post celebrating the holiday i'd like to use this occasion to apologize to anyone who intentionally old norse and have caused any emotional strain believe me there were no bad intentions amid the wave of accusations against the speaker of the duma came out casting doubt on the claims and also making

a suggestion to women that infuriated many is something to consider what if it's this was all just a provocation if you have someone you should apologize but if you provoke you should be held accountable is it dangerous for you to work in the duma if so then change your jobs all this has prompted outcry especially among journalists who are demanding the appropriate steps be taken and today a protest was even held outside of the state duma where many of those participating were members of the media at this point the ethics committee has already opened an investigation into the situation and suits will be required to submit answers to all official accusations and if those are found to be lacking he could eventually lose his immunity now the one good thing coming out of this we have seen from another member of the duma that's on the push she's promised a fast track in old bill enforcing gender equality and targeting sexual harassment in the government people around the world a bit mocking international women's day. so

you did work crowds bang pots and pans in support of women's rights they chanted slogans such as if we stop the world stops. people in south korea took to the streets of seoul in support of the need to movements that was a call for sex offenders to be brought to justice those where the p.r. efforts of some firms to be in support of women have been branded as personalizing these images so i think takes a closer look. it's a global commemoration of women's rights and child to right from wrong to some companies some top p.r. by showing their support for women although not always successfully take this french anti harassment campaign showing female passengers on public transport being preyed on by animals instead of people a matter for which the buffaloes the few fellow travellers. have never been

bothered by sharks in the subway stop or a stop and the much of. the difference between a rule and then dissent. is that i have never been harassed. and what about the people behind the retailers. who thought it be a great idea to make the civic leave for women so you know they could be more dainty and ladylike women don't like to crunch too loudly in public and they don't think that. and they don't like to pull a little broken pieces and the flavor into them are tense out there judging by the reaction online most women. just like with the company who expected to flock to them here even if it was a bit of sarcastic stereotyping that. if you have to explain the joke maybe it's not a very good. gluten free to otherwise we're really not the blue one it's for boys. it seems that it's

a marketing minefield when. the women take to save for matching bottles to print politicising. were. filling out today as faltering so perhaps a mistake when the struggle for women's rights should be celebrated maybe the p.r. guys let's face it they probably are guys should take some time out to change the pattern i think pink dropping the gender pigeonholing and remember that political correctness doesn't wash with women in these settings. and the culture these brands are trying to become an activist in this culture of these it depends on how well it was done you sure the these companies

have their horse. market. for at least for marketing their product in certain ways that. impact. and make them more interested and. meanwhile in cities all around the world people join the make her smile come on women flowers on the streets of london beijing new york police in other cities and in russia posts from the surf club supported the campaign in their own way. it makes me it means that i feel special.

that may just a few of you smile as well about the very latest see you in half an hour. is a global trade war imminent if donald trump follow through on increasing tariffs and ending existing trade deals it seems very likely after all this was at the very center of his campaign for the presidency it was a promise he made to his base will it make america great again. banks

guys are financial survival you know they say money to develop truth close to do you think this is a central bank support daya done this kind of problem right now they stopped. another gun some is not so is not a quick place is not a good country and. true to the minister they live bunch of among us well above the storm. a visit at best but at the best a disco that is glued. to the culture. of the code which sure is the specific charge of christmas. just little unbiased mobile soldier from the muslim muslim school to be the middle. mostly able to slow slow. play almost anything from the bible and he has missed

a lot of the kind our better john said on based on our must who does not mean can i do not cover with lies from top make matter how donati to. run the show it cannot. change from i can know he was almost you will now words to fuck him on the. road since you are too much for the numbers go show he is boosted by don't want to go to the cities in the micro poison misery of the world over to st the. other you have a lot of risk to sue others who are as close to. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be rich. to go on to be cross with what before three in the morning can't be good good i'm interested

always in the waters of our. friendship. in the middle of the sixty's there were thirteen million students enrolled in higher education in two thousand and fifteen there were two hundred million in less than fifteen years there are expected to be four hundred million to. be. leveraged. while the demand keeps growing university tuition fees skyrocket the world over the cost of education is high increasing. their. work harder is more.

mystery i don't understand how can a school be a scam. in the name of so-called economic pragmatism and as a result of international competition universities are turning into a huge money making machine. that all my family members went to university think i wanted to be i wanted to be got one. from shanghai to new york to billion countries around the world reflect trying different moves each remodelling its system in its own way but at what price and who profits from it. really are at the starting point of a story which begins at the end of the ninety's. at that time you have this financial izing itself all the while expanding many intellectuals european

university presidents and expert groups engage in a vast reflection on how to build a more complete more ambitious europe. how to strengthen its intellectual scientific and technological influence. what is the secret of the united states and its economic power. the answer lies in higher education and research. a realm that has become undeniably strategic. at the end of the twentieth century american universities prevail and rule europe is afraid afraid of finding itself on the sidelines it needs

a strategy and so european gauges in a series of reforms to make its higher education more competitive so it can serve europe's economy its productivity its job market and its liberal project england will quickly set the tone before anyone else and to get straight to the point. after the second world war we had a system where local education authorities around the country were responsible for providing a grant to students and giving of covering tuitions fees. and that was at a time when roughly three percent of eighteen year olds went to university around twenty thousand. all science students will. be required to attend lectures on physics chemistry mathematics and biology it will also be possible for science students to major in philosophy knowledge is not bullshit look at the huge never world one in one and covering all sides of all

all places. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and nine hundred ninety s. there was a funding crisis amongst universities lots of vice chancellors complaining that they didn't have enough money to cover the amount of students are now coming through the system so the government commissioned a report and this was called the daring report and that came up with a number of recommendations almost one hundred recommendations roughly half for the government about how it could. maintain sustain and improve higher education in the u.k. and one of the most controversial parts of that report was the introduction of was i in one thousand nine hundred seventy the british left led by its young charismatic candidate tony blair wins the elections after eighteen long years of conservative rule. at the age of forty three the head of the labor

party takes charge of the country with a program whose foundation is to apply private sector management models to public services so as to make them more efficient more productive and higher education will be no exception. right. we need to widen access to universities get more money into universities and the best and fairest way to do it is a balance between the state and the graduate. face became reality and nine hundred ninety eight and it was a key landmark in the history of higher education in the u.k. because at that moment the principle of free education free higher education and you terry finished. for this historic reform tony blair introduces the yearly one thousand pound tuition fee a smooth way to start five years later prompted by his second term election tony blair authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three

hundred pounds yearly and tony blair. head of britain's labor party successfully passed a reform that the conservatives would never have dared bring forward. in two thousand and ten the labor party rallies the opposition the coalition made of liberal democrats and conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate of a jewish and fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to authorize tuition fees up to nine thousand pounds all the while reducing the portion of public funding and it catered to universities this new reform violently divides both members of parliament and public opinion the have been very difficult choices to make we have all said for a such of policies that provide a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing a significantly more progressive system of graduate paper and stuff we inherited

and i'm proud to put forward that magic so this. order. there is nothing a bank that tiny benefit to the lowest income graduates that justifies doubling or tripling the debt of the vast majority of brides isn't it credible that the party opposite who actually introduced the principle of graduates paying and thank you for to you would you feel increase is able to drum up quite so much fake anger on the issues out there was any young person ask any young person in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many would say i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to university i want to achieve something in life. hell that.

yes they are very poor or they're going to borrow money to survive to get through university they simply will not do it this decision matters so much to so many people. i'd say to the house if you don't believe in it vote against god for the right three hundred twenty three you know for the last three hundred true. god. god. i was when the church was really from three thousand and nine thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds. face or anything between six thousand

and nine thousand and unsurprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students have now half a million students going through every year most of those will be paying a minimum nine thousand pounds a year and that's stuns. over the course of fifteen years british politicians are ruling class that had enjoyed free access to education inflicted a paying system on the new generation. british students along with a european fellows now have to deal with these new rulings. that's the way it is. they're young they long for a solid future that thirsty for knowledge and dream of climbing the social ladder all that has a price tag and they'd better get used to it. i need to grow up in a working class family in the south of poland a young woman could have enrolled in

a university in cracow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in england and it was granted a student loan to pay for her nine thousand pounds tuition fee. i knew i was going to go abroad to study and i think well for a little while i thought it was going to be scotland but then. i think i decided it was england you know like way back and it just stuck with me and i and i came here and it was it was scary it was so scary because i was away from home i was here alone i didn't have anywhere to turn to and look at me now i study chinese of all the crises that i could have chosen i can't wait for you know what the future holds and what i'm going to do i have so many ideas but we'll see. i talked to my grandfather once and we're talking about everything else and then

kind of started talking about university and how much money that costs and everything and i had many thoughts about ok maybe maybe i'll quit maybe i'll you know it's too much maybe it's not worth it and then i realized well how my going to pay it back but that's one of the reasons why i stayed and other reason bigger even is that i like what i do i think i'm not quite sure where that came from my need to go to university i think is because. none none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be that one first person who did that and my mom my mom really wanted me to do that as well she did encourage me strongly i don't know what i would do with her if i fail i would i would feel like i failed her and i never want to do that ever. because being here and doing

what i do and being in a verse it is my way of paying her back problem that she's to me i think. yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. will the european students be forced one day to get into debt. should education become a sellable good. mustiness become self-made finance years to earn an education. northern european countries see things a bit differently.
