and the saudis have asked for an international commission to morning to all the places where the attack has taken place so i think he let us wait and see you see unsourced leaks are already appearing in western and mainstream media that it definitely was iran and not the who to use of yemen. to the around go facility in saudi arabia i mean what do you think about the timing of it do you think it seems plausible that iran ahead of next tuesday's general assembly in new york would do this while the round is probably still waiting from the united states to return to the g c p a way and since they have not received any kind of sign that the states is going to accept. this all terms they're probably reluctant in meeting and having anybody that sort of during the u.n. general assembly i think the situation on the ground in the region is it

is not the direct confrontation between major powers or major actors most of the confrontation is taking place through proxies and it is so obvious that the hooty have mentioned that they will attack again this doesn't necessarily mean that they have heard that the 1st attack but they at least tried to give the sign that they are also in the game you see i'm really referring to the fact that when shinzo arbor the japanese prime minister was in tears suddenly iran was accused of seizing a japanese vessel then when donald trump says 11 conditional talks with president rouhani was of course being in turkey on monday suddenly this happens you don't see that there's anything to be suspicious about i don't find any kind of direct relationship between the president rouhani is and prison terms meeting possible meeting and the visit. it took to her on it is probably

a coincidence but i still insist that we will have to wait and see what the. real motive behind the attack and who has organized attack is clear of course britain seized vessel amidst all of the recent uptick in the threats military threats against iran what do you make of britain once you do overthrow your southern neighbor the government the government of syria in the context of monday's talks or one of the major results of the trilateral summit. was. probably the agreement on the formation of the constitutional committee and now all the 3 sides have agreed that the names are more or less creator and there is no dispute about the lists which shows that we can proceed with the geneva process and this is an encouraging sign because the constitutional committee's

formation is a major step towards the continuation of the peace talks now once the considered community committee is formed and once the geneva talks start i think it is quite obvious that we are accepting that this transition is going to take place during the assad regime is still in power so. when we go back to 7 or 8 years earlier all the international community was against conducting all these developments. but now it's obvious that it has proved his strong presence and control over the syrian territory you see these talks and i know we're going to get further details in the next 48 hours 24 hours taking place while in the past few weeks israel has bombed damascus israel has been . israel has bombed iraq do you think the 3 leaders

rouhani and the one are aware of this context i think this was asked during the press conference that all the 3 leaders and since in the communicate has mentioned that they have also discussed a couple of other regional developments and international developments whether israeli issue or other topics have been discussed but the answer was no. probably think that the israeli situation is very much related to the elections and since the israeli elections was approaching probably israel was showing some kind of strength and assertiveness in the region so that the this attitude could perhaps have an impact on the elections on the other side i think russia is also very careful in its relations with israel in iran is also.

quite aware that has certain ambitions against iran and simply wants to be prudent and do not does not want to escalate things so israeli issue has not been on the agenda between the 2 between the 3 leaders i presume who do you think the president is going to think of the fact that the 3 leaders didn't really even talk about united states recognition of israeli occupation illegal occupation of the golan i syrian property let alone of course the state of easter is i don't think that he's extremely happy about that he was probably. but the 3 leaders did not mention anything about all these issues the israeli developments and they probably agreed not to mention even if they had discussed these issues behind closed doors do you think it's sensible of the 3 leaders to trust nature. nations of the well

britain has been selling record amounts of weapons to israel and israeli weapons have indeed been found in syria amidst the conflict i don't think that this has been discussed either because you know that this is a continuation of the astronaut process and the sortie process so that's really there's probably prefer to focus mainly on the continuation of the stand and the sorts of processes and to focus on the situation on the theater's concerning issues in on any issues in the east of euphrates and also perhaps the preparation between turkey and the united states for the establishment of a safe zone in the north east of syria because here in britain we've had the memoirs of former prime minister david cameron who you met when you were. here in london he's been blaming boris johnson for lies about what he alleges a lies about turkey in the brics that referendum why do you think we don't hear

more about the numbers of refugees taken by turkey let alone what agreement about refugees was made at my design career summit in just tell us a little about it 3600000 refugees from syria. point 6000000 which are the official figures that have been announced so far but i believe the number is quite high it is probably a little bit over 4000000. and this is certainly becoming a major burden for the turkish economy because the government has already declared that turkey has spent more than $35000000000.00 us dollars for all the syrian. refugees currently in turkey. i think did numbers quite low and when i was ambassador there and when david cameron vice prime minister the syrian problem was in its initial phase. and probably that

was not a big issue and nobody expected that it would continue and the result with that kind of huge flow of people in to keep the deal between turkey and the rippin union came on only in 2015 and recently in it has been declared by the european union i think. mrs morgan who mentioned that european union has already given 5600000000 euros to turkey to cope with the problems created by the syrian refugees in turkey you said that some people didn't expect the refugee crisis i'd suggest that many people did you presumably talk with boris johnson then when he was foreign secretary before you became prime minister obviously as he is today you really didn't see any understanding in britain that support factor support for islam ists in syria to overthrow the government of us would lead to

a refugee crisis on the scale as i told i mean the refugee crisis what that that that scale in those years. i think when the break that talks and the referendum was being prepared one of the issues that boris johnson particularly emphasized was the possible increase of flow into the united kingdom through turkey but of course that was not a very prudent policy and i wouldn't say that it was. it was helping it to the cause or perhaps it was simply exaggerating a situation and simply trying to convince the people that they should vote for leave i think he now everybody agrees that johnson. did not play the turkey card very cleverly at that time surely david cameron so i do that debate ambassador thank you thank you very much after the break of the u.k. prime minister boris johnson. led the press conference in luxembourg only to face

a supreme court in london deliberating on his own alleged lying we are because boris johnson run out of places to hide and 5 years to the day scotland voted to remain in the u.k. we had to get to the actual trade committee chair and guess what neal whether it's s. and p. will now ally with germany corbin to annihilate boris johnson stories are going up about 2 are going underground. and the big 10 years crosstalk started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geo political jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will

literally wrote the elites. late night show it's a rare format these days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner but to leave me with one of my guess i can do this and laughter politics 'd gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the gotye no that is too much. world is driven by.

thinks. we. welcome back joining me now to go through some of the week's top stories when the day off to the end of the liberal democrat conference is one of the party's former coalition ministers norman baker moment thanks for coming on where you are not at the conference you didn't even i don't know whether you were there i wasn't because i thought the lights going to conferences them. i really felt to have to go let's go straight to this story from from the mirror this is our aisle from back story

something about who told. you power from bill calls america i'm here to fax to the liberal democrat or new call the calm rage sam what do you think about al ensuring do you think he should never be important. in your body what sort of party is the liberal democrats if it allows him in. his wark sarah willis to promote her will stare at the angelus smith who talks about funny tinge journalists of people of color who join the budget for the mock reggae have at the say it's a pause he looks. good. in the box go to the bottom of it without a list of irrelevant comments look him in the sky. those who defected to the lib dems from labor and conservative put their careers in the law in many cases they've recognised it thrown their careers away they've done so at the principles of the people of principle of the ones who are defecting if you need difficult thing to do to defect to any party the ones you should be criticising other people in tory

party and labor party for that matter who mumble under their breath this is terrible i don't like the way my party's going it's all wrong i do nothing keep their mouths shut these guys are stood up being counted he explicitly spoke out against the pardoning of people who were ill g.b.t. who had been convicted prior to equality legislators are stunned that he was doing so as a minister or not was just following orders is no yes no but that's what ministers do when you don't follow orders you resign from the government as i resigned eventually from the coalition government having had enough of a reason may how far does this go then so will the liberal democrats allow people that you fundamentally disagree with the party is is a broad church like any political party is only people who disagree with individual policies you know chin found for example who believe the party has a different view on gay rights from for most of the people in the party and i want to go to due to this wonder and david cameron's memoirs yes your take on david cameron book to do nothing in libya was to facilitate murder well it's always

difficult isn't it it's a british prime minister to try to involve the country in which he's expedition a body and so on because we've all heard of the destruction of africa's and then we just kept it going i know absolutely and i think david had a point on a particular issue but the the trouble was after iraq and the lies appalling was told by tony blair and i was accountable to sign paul and it was naturally skeptical about taking it was he's action i think that's only once you know where i disagree with david cameron this issue was not the the right to get involved and prevent a whole the cost if you like a terrible example of what might have happened and how did happen he says he says he saved libya well i think because gadhafi had said libya will be well gadhafi will. a terrible terrible man but where i disagree with david cameron is this these matters should be ones for the united nations you know we are not the world's policeman no not this america not this russia not any other country but why do you think cameron hasn't realized what you've just said to me now in the luxury of his

. retirement well i think there's to live residual feeding that britain has got some sort of responsibility to the world we've not lost the mindset that we're one of the great powers we don't one of the great powers international law is something we must hold on to something that trump has been destroying of course the united states but we in europe hold on to it because trump trump's people didn't deny that here at the embassy but how could he do diets well i mean the bedrock of every pull out of the debris blocking everything in sight they're destroying everything internationally cameron apologize over the bricks that referendum and so on here didn't apologize for libya in these moments you know what i think he's probably believing he probably saying what he believed to be right ok let's go to the china daily about arguably the most famous pull it out is this is even the daily mirror in the china daily astonished to remain in prison after sentence expires well to be honest with you i don't take any lessons from china daily on people being in prison on duty because they've locked up 1000000 week is there any fall whatsoever such as

the trolls government denies that they have is that this film is look for a nation is actually coming out of this film of it we've seen it this google does numerous witnesses spoken to them i've been to we could come from just a loser who oppose the iraq war claim many activists claim lots of this is being used against the chinese but let's get on there well i'm just making the point that this is this is the temper of the chinese to go for lowest common denominator they have got a big state on their conscience in the way they deal with people not come to the don't like but in a case in which on the issue here i mean this is difficult because people are held in the mountains if they are expected or thought you might discover and that's a known. the process in the courts of law people all the time are held there needn't be political prisoners or people who got he has no charges in this country no we've got an extradition warrant applied for by the us and signed by the home secretary and that carries some weight and i understand that the 1st 2 are going to

call it about less than a month's time so the time he sort of you know is still at the home of as you'd be fine would someone who internationally is seen as the award winning journalist and publisher jailed on their mind without any conviction whatsoever he's been in for years and he's been overwhelmed political refugee granted as he's been for years now is own volition or do we now know that no he was granted asylum in the united nations repertoire on torture says that he was tortured by the u.k. government well i don't believe he was talked about the u.k. government but this is a matter for the courts not so much of for government ministers who don't have governments running the courts force in this country as indeed we've seen with the whole process that negotiations look i mean i'm in i'm in i'm privileged about mr asante undoubtedly some of the material he brought forward was in the public interest for us to do about all the other hand war crimes yeah i'd absolutely but on the other hand you also released a whole lot of information about individuals that was quite irresponsible so he didn't really handle what he did say denies that well i mean i think the guardian

in the new york times that revealed the unredacted information well they got it from him and therefore i think he's responsible for the omega thank you well as the supreme court in london rules on whether scotland's highest court was right to judge the boris johnson unlawfully shut down parliament i'm joined now via skype from the western isles whether chair of britain's international trade committee yes m.p.'s angus macneil thank thank you for coming on so presumably already quite frightened by just when sort of the liberal democrats and it just went and gave a speech in about 24 hours at that have a liberal democrat conference without blairite labor and austerity tories on board she was claiming credit for knife crime reductions in glad. go what hethen be going to do against the lib dems. apologise for how celebratory listen haven't anything at all to do nice have a class is utterly laughable abuse and some of us get on with the scottish government of the scottish parliament for the last 10 years nothing at all to do

that myself as a west was then peace nothing to do with just lives as a living dead and westchester m.p.'s not just. the they have a claims that just winds made it all kind of laughable and the more which is out of their suspects are supposed to stop but accept party but some of you who will be aware that if they go loot back of this account of the record of that 25th of february 2008 just wish it was a start but accident be the start but until she was the one who was calling for but accidentally ended and it went it to backwoodsmen it feel like we're only looking for a president of the lisbon treaty joyously instead of the liberals were the ones who kicked all this off who made me really get the guys and the backwards men as i call them of the tory party test of just listens please and by december should decide to close and buy new year who of course should be. hilarious but of course the name of

the mcgrath one thing last time around that we may be facing in a general election in the united kingdom the tories of all parties did well in scotland how are you going to stop them doing as well a game or storms that assists the early christmas present if you like for all the sort of the setting for the s.n.p. he's going to ensure that any 2 or 3 might from start when they're going to be in very much in the weight of single digits perhaps a long perhaps 2 but mostly the 0 the 2 east is gone and i think when people see the true source of the problems of the 2 of them made especially in the fishing communities never the big concern is that fish markets i know the jury your sick norms as the dogs were talking. a few months ago. eyeless a few years ago chickens are going to introduce a great biography of the do it some of. the 10 most lend-lease their team their joys that are not concerned so let it go their way the polls are good people can see there are people being responsible and given scotland's future b.d.'s said b.

but as for fishing i want to get on to the revelations forced out of the government about medicine shortages and food shortages but will you be using any supremes court verdict in favor of boris johnson and any possible scottish referendum by the johnson had not given the side up that it was and not been counted by the judges and how getting them all the evidence they wanted. could conclude it doesn't connect at least conclusion all of us know where this conclusion that ben wallace. whatever they want to go to starts as ministers lead to the top of the lot but that is what caused job because of their political considerations to. say he is the material things of the court all the subregion quarterly deliberating on the eve it says no the scottish court court is was wrong will you be using that verdict into any possible future referendum well i think we will certainly be be thought it was a vote of sorts and when independent independent counsel for the next 12 months we

can certainly see that scotland's highest court a serious player bozo's and a lot of pain is not favorable now i don't know what you mean or the scottish people indeed made of these revelations they were forced out of the government about planning what do you make of the redactions because some of the u.k. nuclear weapons of course are based in scotland any possible redactions could be about they could be about defense well the actions to be but anything but i think they were right people should understand about the yard these documents are not scared because there's a number of companies as chair of international it's come to me over the last 12 to 18 months with all sorts of orders and all sorts of concerns i said get a look at. the public see it we don't want to get involved in politics we don't want to take the heat as well or come without so what we've got in this situation of but accident number of companies actually afraid to tell the truth of their feeders because they feel a political head will come to the supermarket chains to me here yet now to go where

we could see it in interference that the other basket will go a bit 7 percent there will be problems getting stuff on the shelf quickly there are big problems getting the range of the shelf as well so don't be surprised that these things and they're becoming more and more open they're certainly being well documented medical fears my colleagues the surface of it for us and peed in every i think certainly going on by the medical isotopes of a lot of cattle monahan and lastly so number of these things are ruled on a number of these things are not perfect fear this is what's come of the way the heart attacks and this is a stent it why boris johnson was his general election before halloween because from middlemen but on worse empty shelves and lack of medicines do not make winning election campaigns well obviously the prime minister denies that does positivity is what's required but as you said you are the chair of the international trade

committee and i understand you got a reply from the international trade secretary lives trust about questions that you've asked of her. yeah you know like with expected her to come to the committee she didn't come to committee we pressure you know i did i think less the person got the message quite clearly that you do come to a parliamentary committees perhaps less as was shown dealing experience who knows but i think she's got the message very isolated but if some hotter water with a very silly house the soviet union of all places of could involve in a genocide in the yemen at the moment the behavior in the congo a city in india and the court's ruling against. newsless the 1st in a more precarious position with bigger and more important questions to answer the class i was intended to ask a and to get it because we invite the saudi arabian ambassador to london to answer some of those questions i understand actually trusses in australia of all places

just finally there's a climate global climate strike on friday i know jo swinson obviously she didn't take pro fracking donation money but she did raise the idea of environmental climate collapse would you be urging people to take part in the global climate strike on friday well what we're going to do is a take this very seriously i mean that north of the plains and that's out of doors they are certainly concerned about what is happening in the others a supplier has a ticket very seriously the state itself is one of those things that makes people think it might be good we have it over everything there is and i also feel we maybe reason that the fear of these ideas that some psychologists one of us. i'm going to tell people i that we what we should or shouldn't do but i think the one thing we should be eating on it is that something needs to start howling to ensure that that kind of a number stuccoed there you will number starts going up and we believe it and more sustainable planet are living in a more sustainable planet was the less weather for 2 issues that are happening it

more often i guess with me and thank you. that that's it for the show will be back on saturday 70 years to the day chairman mao inaugurated a people's republic of china that would lift more than 850000000 people out of extreme poverty until they give it up by social media you'll forget to subscribe to your channel. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court the
