a broader range of capabilities including intelligence and the economic tools to counter the u.k.'s enemies russia is branded a threat and accused of engaging in hybrid warfare two years and i still see a troika has details. national security capabilities review that the british government released of course does not fail to mention russia it's a fifty two page document that talks about all sorts of threats and issues that the u.k. is faced with from cyber attacks to terrorism to crime to increasing all of the possible measures they can take to be able to take steps against all of those threats now among some of the means that the u.k. plans to use it when it comes to soft power is quote investing two hundred ninety one million pounds to twenty twenty in the b.b.c. world service to increase access to trusted news and information and they say that
1:03 am

1:04 am
review every country in this but to tag russia in with north korea and with islamic state i think she's out of step with the ordinary man and woman on the streets of the united kingdom and then when it comes on to now why is there a cyber war being waged by russia look how many oh just please calm down what we need is the evidence if the evidence points clearly to russia and indeed to vladimir putin i'll be the first to calm them russia and him but we have not seen the evidence the tension between russia and britain has been escalating for weeks following the poisoning of double agent sort of his could have fallen his daughter in the city of souls bri both are now reportedly in a coma investigators now say the highest concentration of the suspected nerve agent used chalk was found on the script front door and scotland yard detectives have reiterated that the probe may take months so it is script out as

a former russian intelligence agent he was stripped of his rank after spying for the u.k. and jailed for espionage before being released authorities say script allen his daughter were poisoned by a nerve agent of a type produced in the soviet union now official power point slides have been leaked which formed the basis on which the us and half the e.u. supported britain's expulsion of russian diplomats they describe the nerve agent allegedly used and blame russia for the attack though without providing any proof the so-called evidence includes claims of previous malicious tippity by moscow these include cyber attacks alleged election interference and what the presentation calls the occupation of crimea. moscow denies any involvement in the poisoning and accuses london of waging a media campaign to blame russia but judging by the slides in the presentation the allegations were based not on proof but on what was deemed a highly likely assumption.
1:06 am
you know while many countries have expelled russian diplomats in solidarity with the u.k. not everyone agrees with the move along with m.p.'s in neighboring ireland which show is also kicking out diplomats you're asking us to trust johnson and dare i say this might not be the wisest course of action and i saw in the irish parliament of drawing comparisons between the script. bombings carried out almost

fifty years ago in which the u.k. government was suspected of involvement back then for cars exploded during rush hour and monaghan and dublin killing over thirty people at a pro u.k. volunteer force claimed responsibility for the attack with many activists calling for a probe into alleged involvement of the u.k. security forces no one was ever charged for that atrocity. but we spoke to people in the irish capital about what they thought about the diplomatic expulsions relating to the script case. i think it's a needless threats to our sovereignty by a man who is thinking only of his legacy i've sort of looked for the proof and i haven't heard any definition to wait until it was proven i mean it's there's some messed up things going on on of the out state things with caution you know we're really a neutral country like what would we do i think if disgrace to neutral country and it's can be and it's just it's tolkien is some of what they're telling people in maryland have got no reason to support the british security services or there were
1:08 am
for what happened and so as a brit or for anything else but personally speaking when i think it was a game only ab's government would act as a puppet sort of britain a puppet of the british security services but this tells us something about the drift of european politics and the drift of ironies politics along with their european partners at the moment and i think it's a dangerous moment as making a step into that. i think it's a conduit always in your to a country that is making a step away from neutrality and that has got ominous implications for the future of foreign policy and indeed domestic policy of the republic of. following last week's brutal killing of an elderly holocaust survivor the jewish community in france is sounding the alarm over the rise of anti semitism in the country tens of
