drumming up support for a united e.u. message against russia has been what she's been about on the day she had strong words entering the summit russia staged a brazen and reckless attack against the united kingdom when his attempt to change the murder of two people on the streets of seoul spring i'll be raising this issue with my counterparts today because it's clear that the russians french does not respect the waters and indeed the incident insoles was part of a pattern of russian aggression against europe and its near neighbors from the western balkans to the middle east federica maka raney is the high representative for foreign affairs but the you that makes as close as the block has to a foreign minister she said on her way into the summit that she stands firmly in lockstep with london we will also obviously express our strongest possible solidarity with united kingdom after the attack insults bring the strongest political sign we can give its unity unity and unity but there are

a number of other countries that are saying that if there to back more sanctions against russia are all there to take any further action or commit to a unified harsh statement by the e.u. that they are going to need to see more evidence from the british side but when the european council president told to get the e.u. commission president. lord good took to the stage the field questions from journalists they didn't really have maybe answers when it came to what type of action the e.u. would be taking against russia in march but also always to say i didn't to come back to an issue in june and in june we decided to come back to an issue did not talk and wonder we are never coming back were discussed those that were attacked during. work littleton we've come back to the question. will be back in brussels on friday for more. all of this european council summit

and we'll see if we see that united message coming throughout friday i think the british government's reaction and behave has been absolutely appalling now of course a serious crime has been committed as far as we know in that space plan has. same to them poised and that beyond that we really don't know much and what we have seen from the british government is a terrible rush. to condemn russia actually in the absence of evidence and it's very interesting my has consistently said and this is repeated by france and germany that this is the substance of a tight you know mate in russia which doesn't really tell if anything president has appointed a new national security adviser that story much more still to come you are watching our two international.

our. i. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it what it really is a crime. welcome

back this is an international now president trump has replaced his national security advisor former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton will be taking up the post replacing former army officer h. r. mcmaster let's cross live to our tease for the details caleb interesting time there in the states this is. another national security advisor we all know how the first one went out could you tell us more about this particular appointment yes this is the third national security adviser in fourteen months of donald trump's presidency john bolton now john bolton is an outspoken advocate of the use

of force in foreign policy by the united states he's been a long outspoken in his advocacy of the use of force against both the islamic republic of iran and against north korea two issues that are rather vital at the moment in donald trump's presidency as we know of the united states is on the verge of having a meeting with the democratic people's republic of korea and furthermore the iran deal is something that donald trump is going to have to weigh in on in this coming may month of may which is pretty pretty soon upon us so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting let's take a listen to some of what trump has said and some of what his current pick for the new national security adviser has said. now. furthermore it's important to note that john bolton he was the united nations ambassador during the administration of george w. bush and he was quite controversial him administration for his harsh words

criticizing the u.n. as an international body now he has been an outspoken advocate of use of force against north korea against iran and trump seemed optimistic in some of his recent statements regarding north korea and others questions about the continuity of the iran deal the j.c. pos so all eyes are on the trumpet ministration people are wondering what will happen next it's pretty clear you know john bolton is from the camp the strand of thought in u.s. foreign policy often described as neo conservative he's an advocate of the use of military force in the international arena something donald trump was quite critical of and voiced opposition to on the campaign trail so how exactly trump will get along with his new advisor is something that remains in question but people are rather surprised to see the fact that john bolton will be the new national security adviser to donald trump. all right are there new york for us we know that as this

story develops you'll stay across it for us it's going to be interesting to watch it all play out. and saying with us now president all trump has imposed new import tariffs on china in a move that has intensified fears of a global trade war trump signed an order on the new tariffs in the white house the white house said that the actions were necessary to counter unfair competition from china beijing has said it is now ready to retaliate. the terrorist target more than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothing to electronics they are estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars now the one hundred billion dollars trade deficit with china which is more than double the u.s. deficit with the rest of the world is the main reason trump sided for his new tears the other being the problem of intellectual property in technologies theft over the past year trumps unpredictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. money. basically can't continue to allow

china to rape our country. you know you can have one relationship you know there's going to always be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. we have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for a lot of goods to do for people here and the whole presentation by the trumpet ministration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of

imperialist intervention in domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or trade war i really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. and cyber security firm kaspersky has identified a highly secretive piece of malware used to infiltrate the computers of intelligence targets but other people may also have been affected kaspersky has not identified the people or organization behind the malware but media company cyber scoop alleges it is part of a classified u.s. program citing unnamed u.s. officials they're also quoted as saying the spyware was used to target terrorists by collecting information from their computers caspar asking explained why that did not stop it from revealing of them out where. we detect and remain he ate all forms

of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so-called legal surveillance one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement were just regular users code named slingshot the malware is main purpose is cyber espionage is able to retrieve large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers now unsuspecting users are targeted through compromised routers and targets of the malware have been detected in african and middle eastern countries it appears to have compromised the computers of individual users but others including governmental institutions may have also been breached we spoke with a security expert about how this tool works. but this was never the last i for one have especially young it's sophisticated malware we discovered it last year after

examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended for cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it stayed under the radar for quite a long time our estimate is that this malware has been operational for about six years in other words the operators of this malware were using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this malware is so advanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection we detected about one hundred infected computers mostly in africa especially in kenya and a few more in libya and afghanistan we can see here use this malware all we know is that the people who created it speak english very well because the code contains some text lines and even brief descriptions of portions of code which are written in very good english. second son of the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi will run for president if elections are held this year saif al islam

gadhafi spokes person confirmed the plans after months of speculation so some father was driven from power and killed in two thousand and eleven despite holding no official position was described as the de facto prime minister during his father's rule so far as later held captive for six years before being released last year amid the political unrest we heard exclusively from his lawyer about the presidential bid. islam has lots of supporters they are ordinary people there are even those who were against moammar gadhafi back in two thousand and eleven and now they support the views of his son the situation we have in libya now is the result of the destruction of all the state institutions not only the toppling of the regime forty countries today against libya back then our country was bombarded and shelled all the military and civilian infrastructure was destroyed many civilians were killed and now saif al islam has put forward

a comprehensive overview of the situation in libya that's a reform project which will bring calm back to libya there are many young patriots in libya now they are so enthusiastic they're not concerned about political affiliations the main thing they care about is a patriotic spirit and they see it in the reforms by saif al islam they view them as an effective tool to fight corruption. the u.s. senate intelligence committee has now officially completed its trump russia probe it really launched the investigation last january since that time and has spoken to more than seventy witnesses including the u.s. president son dying all the trump junior as well as the president and senior adviser jared in addition more than three hundred thousand documents were examined by keyes so where can comments now from washington. in a partisan vote the house intel committee has voted to shut down its investigation into alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen election finding

no evidence of collusion between trump and russia the committee also voted to release the g.o.p.'s report on the investigation but the report however will not be immediately made available to the public it's expected to be released in a few weeks after it's reviewed and declassified by the intelligence community but the house intel committee did publish a summary of its findings reiterating that they found no collusion coronation or conspiracy between trump and the kremlin but democrats of the committee voiced opposition to the move saying it was done prematurely to protect the white house pledging to continue the probe let's take a look house intel republicans have prematurely ended investigation and jump to unfounded conclusions that they've yet to share with democratic members like the newest member no evil see no evil speak no evil instead of conducting an honest investigation house republicans chose to put partisanship over national security and run a shameful interference campaign to give cover to donald trump instead of protecting our democracy house republicans have worked time to protect president trump and his

family and friends despite objections from house democrats the house intel committees investigation into russian interference is now over however this is only one of several probes into the matter so now we'll just have to read the report when it's declassified in a few weeks to see if it debugs the trouble russia accusation for good. and it does it for me i'll be back in thirty five minutes with the full look at your news stay with us. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball it's next to the hard pool of ships and it's. much tougher than. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and paul conner.

concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons and they do it several times a day with a big screen so no you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be witness of the deal going on because. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now would use do or don't like is there nobody you know visitation i don't

know one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you do the chores and that there are actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she could. behind such success. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman ija billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance for. the base

this minute. welcome to the alex salmon shore from college green just outside the house of commons this week just about all of the news has been overshadowed in the media mill storm an aftermath of the chemical poisoning in salisbury however that doesn't mean the other important business has been happening just has gone largely unreported one such event was a remarkable example of all party cooperation which allowed to private members bill to make progress this was angus printed mcneill's refugee family reunification bill named refugees family reunion number two bill which sailed through its first

comments test this proposed legislation would allow a company john refugees who've already arrived in the u.k. to sponsor family members to join them and also makes provision for legal aid to be made available in such cases and this edition of the alex salmon show we deport the program to this bill considers full implications and evaluate its chances of ultimate success the first over to alex in the studio with your tweets your emails and your messages. now as you might imagine there's been no shortage of commentary tweets or e-mails or messages alas we sure are interested in not just on the chemical poisoning in salzburg and for example interview with human rights campaigner peter tatchell who she says leaves us a no doubt but what happens in russia today and a bit of factual foundation thanked us for the interview including peter's critique of putin's human rights abuses against his own people to see debates whether this

can be at a totally free why is i like some of the russia t.v. show the big wrong but actually why you can almost tell me. that alec would be free to criticize putin of the russian government well but fair to the the previous two tweets not just me and severely but my guess as well a free to say what they think importing scott says i never really bothered watching the alex salmon show but thanks to the for audi this week i decided to give it a shot it's no serious link so thanks for the heads up and thanks to all our tweets and e-mails and messages i think we can be certain that will be returning to the issue of the salzburg poisoning as more evidence of marriages from the o.p.c. w. whose experts are no on the spot. now back to the house of commons where last friday by a remarkable one hundred nine twenty nine votes the forty two i guess by the macneill's refugee bill passed it's second reading here are some of the highlights of that the bit. a big move that the family union bill

and nobody read second time the thing about this bill mr speaker is that it really could be introduced by any member in this house it's a bill that's conceived by a partnership of good samaritan organizations the british red cross oxfam the refugee council the u.n. he anonymously to name but some and this bill is the support of m.p.'s for from seven political parties conservative liberal s.n.p. do you be liberal like kennedy and green so i want to find going to members right across the house of course sponsor of the bill to do this members from across their school sponsor this this shouldn't be a bill of a party politics is not a little bit red yellow whatever it's about compassion understandable member for orkney and shetland said just a few moments ago humanity as well everybody perhaps to gets what and who invest is this is somebody who is feeling

a place that they know that the house of commons procedures make it extremely difficult to secure passage of a private member's bill usually either the bill has to be non-controversial enough to attract government support but it is stopped in its tracks making that very thing happened to other measures only last for i. think neal's bill and child refugees it's not supported by the government but it still struck a cross party caught it. when you see them together as a family unit you see why they moved to beat it and why they contribute positively to our community by making it easier for a parent to join a child refugee i contend that this could incentivize families to send their child ahead on a perilous journey often enough. people traffickers i presented a petition from to my primary school some patricks and simonton in january where they had done a project putting themselves in the position of being child refugees they had drawn

little suitcases with what they would take what was most precious to them and the thing that struck me was in every state case was a photograph of their family we should be doing the same and if we're a bit too old to imagine ourselves as children can we imagine the help and support we would wish someone would give our children if they were in the service. one of the reasons that this bill attracted such a cross party support inside the chamber is that it had huge support state parliament i spoke to laura perdue and spokesperson that you any one of the many humanitarian organizations to been supporting the bill. welcome to laura what have you any been doing then to actively garner support for the bill through parliament well we decided to support this bill firstly because refugees have told us that one of the key barriers to their really feeling settled in being able to integrate in the u.k. is this feeling that they have left close family members behind in either the

country to come from or in refugee camps in the regions what is the government's view in relation to what's proposed in the bill and why are they against it well the government's position is that immigration. can allow for refugees to bring family members but that's only exceptional cases and then outside the walls fast that willie doesn't provide and nuff. to safeguard for for people who really are in need of bringing close family members the current immigration rules are very restrictive it's also a very complex procedure so for us it's really important to make those changes what it would allow is for child refugees to be able to bring their parents to the u.k. at the moment the u.k. is one of only two countries in europe that doesn't allow children to bring their parents or their siblings and children child refugees some of the most vulnerable

people and it really is observe that they can't reunite with their. parents because now all children do need that support but refugee children in particular do need help with their parents to be able to integrate we also think that the definition of family under the current rules is very very restrictive the moment parents can bring their children up to the age of eighteen so for us the private member's bill would allow a greater definition of family it would allow parents to bring children over the age of eighteen under the age of twenty five because a child doesn't stop being a child once they've reached eighteen i think parents would feel that they would want to reunite with their close family members and especially if for many refugee parents if they've left an eighteen year old daughter she could be in really precarious circumstances that would leave her very vulnerable so for us that was very important and then thirdly and finally the bill would bring back refugee from

the reunification under the scope of legal aid because at the moment it can be very complicated and you do need to really expert legal advice and those are the three things that the bill seeks to do and we think is really crucial for refugees to be able to integrate in the u.k. and it also hard to beat mention of beginning to legislation founded if bill would encourage. just a situation simply don't understand encourage those to make that journey and as we've heard so much testimony over many months indeed years unfortunately lieschen to particular study in crisis what parent would only put their child in such a position of danger by suggesting the cross seas if that wasn't a sea for option than staying where they were so i think and i'm sure you would agree that this idea that it would encourage people to make the journey seems to me like

a rather shallow argument to me and currently we're facing the biggest levels of displacement that we've had since the second world war but actually in the u.k. asylum numbers are dropping because it's so very difficult for asylum seekers and refugees to reach the way we do you think they need to be safe legal routes so that people who are fleeing danger aren't putting their children's lives at risk but that they can reunite safely it took some time i suppose to get support from certainly some newspapers inhalation to the refugee crisis and unfortunately i think you remember was the image of love a little encouraging on the beach that got people into action think we really need to do something about it and that's part of the reason i suppose why we are where we where we are to d. what does this mean for refugees you obviously you meet with refugees what do you think this will mean for for those young people those who who are far away from their family for this legislation to become a reality well i mean the refugees are supposed to or it would mean everything i

think for all of us in our family is at the center of our lives and refugees are no different to anyone really know for them to be able to rebuild their lives to have close members of their family around them is so so important so it's not going to affect a huge number of people but for the people whose lives it does affect it would really mean the world what's the public perception what's the feeling on the ground in relation to this particular bill was the since you that you gay. well we've had a fantastic and overwhelming public support tens of thousands of people constituents have written to them pays austyn them to turn up to vote on a friday passed this legislation we've had great support from high profile celebrities. goodwill ambassadors like david morrissey like neil gaiman's actors like gwendolyn christy we've had me in westwood alan cumming peter policy who have all come out and supported this so much of an impact do you think celebrity

endorsements probably the inappropriate word to use but celebrities to that reason when it's in relation to issues has ordered on the support for that particular public support well i think it has had a huge impact actually because celebrities can use you know their personal followings their social media platforms to raise awareness of an issue which can be quite difficult to cut through it's quite a technical legislative issue so to. high profile support that we've had from celebrities it does actually motivate constituents to want to their own pace and i think that has been really important in kind of having that momentum raising awareness and encouraging them pays to stay and vote and that's why we had such a fantastic turnout. weren't really expecting but it was a hugely welcome for so many and pays to stay in votes you got cross each and see work. for it because i think what this shows is that it's

a matter of principle not politics and this bringing refugee families together it's about compassion is about humanity and above all it's about family so that it's not a political issue i think everyone can relate to them so if i was that i name p. disinclined to be supportive of this legislation what would you what would you add the c.r.c. to me to try and bring me on board or surprise yourself in the shoes of a refugee i think everyone. would want their family close family members to be safe i think that's what everyone wants is a really basic human instinct this bill wouldn't seek to open the floodgates it would just mean for a very small number of refugees they would be able to bring children children would be able to bring their parents these are people who have fled desperate circumstances war conflict human rights abuses and you know i think that we can be compassionate we can offer a humanitarian.
