a very fine dilemma to for the home secretary to consider is the u.k. home secretary weighs up his options on the time is ticking for a concrete solution. when the latest developments six more rain in man were found on a beach near dover on sunday morning professor of international history at london school of economics and scared says that up till now the u.k. government's efforts to tackle the crisis have been unsatisfaction. the administration has been at fault we only have five patrol boats in the channel so we only have five patrol boats for the border force only one of these is actually in the do it was straight in the channel there's not always. the government. done nothing to supply more boat parties because in past years they've been very few attempts to cross the channel but since christmas have been over one hundred

most of threats in his televised interview russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov distilled the challenges russia has faced this year. needless to say it's been a difficult year groceries on the constant pressure from those who see it as competitive or some kind of dominant position in world politics we see this in the way the u.s. behaves they talk openly about the need to restrain russia and china and they don't like iran or north korea either. we would like to see a european colleagues showing independence through their practical actions fortunately they're not entirely ready for this the fall of the united states even when it clearly runs counter to their interests let me give you an example the vote on a russian resolution in support of maintaining the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty we had more concern from europe than anywhere else on the decision by the united states to unilaterally withdraw from this treaty but the entire european union voted against our proposal so in effect they voted for the i.m.f.

treaty to be terminated and the so once again be overshadowed with the threat from american missiles which are abandoned at this treaty the next step of course will be council measures from russia but this is not our choice but the e.u. cannot felt your krishi the threats of the security of its own capitals as there is no explanation for their votes against south opposable other than a false sense of solidarity with the united states and this is just one example. this question needs to be addressed to washington our president and his representatives have repeatedly said that we are ready for such talks at any time that washington wants them look at the naturally this must happen on the basis of equality mutual respect and mutual consideration of interests as we see the extent to which foreign policy towards russia in america has become hostage to domestic political struggles over there competing with each other to see who can attack russia more is considered a useful means of attraction proceeds there is nothing we can do about this but we are always ready for dialogue with any country which including the united states.

in that you can as to expose russia's perceived ill will some in the us have suggested it's now on the coast make scale no that. looks like we've had fifty two american astronauts launched by the russians what's interesting is not a single one of the african-american none of our african-american astronauts have ever been launched by the russians is mean since two thousand and eleven no african-american astronauts from nasa have been in space is had the opportunity it does raise the question what's going on are the russians refusing to launch african-american astronauts. if that is the case i have never heard that. certainly i will start asking that question now that you meant that to me but i have not heard that and aware if that's the case.

i seriously do not believe it was the russians our russian colleagues partly because i'm i have been through the training with them and i think. i was able to develop really good working relationships with everyone there and. you know a testament to that it was that i think some of the people there may have known that nasa the speaking of doing this but they were adamant that i had to complete all of the training.

despite all the difficulties on the political arena there's always a bright side and video agency wept captured some of these moments. but. i. haven't done that. thank. you. thanks for joining us on the international this hour and don't forget you can have your sound all stories by following us on social media and join us again in thirty minutes for the latest.
