to the to. and to the script down the cliff if she didn't know it looks like another use of highly likely tactics but it seems like the u.k. has given up on this term based on previous years experiences so now the british government gives us a new slogan almost certain. and these mysterious russian actors bombarded the public online with details of the neat post broke set u.k. u.s. trade deal the one that would have bred speeching coronated chicken a making visits to a privatized n.h.s. hospital is something i can reveal to you 461 pages of evidence on the forests of the n.h.s. is of the table and will. up for sale now timing wise it's an interesting allegation did the british government just watch and do very little as the virus to hold here under fire for
8:04 am
a severe lack of personal protective equipment for health care workers and the failure to ramp up testing the government is under increasing pressure to ease the nationwide lockdown measures this and it's close to having europe's worst death toll so what did it do wrong what differently the government's not only buried under criticism over its covert mistakes but also in debt with the nation afraid to step outside again the accusation also comes ahead of a much anticipated report on russian interference and u.k. politics as a whole a report that's been in the watts for 18 months on which the prime minister himself said didn't point to any nefarious forces there is. absolutely no evidence that i've ever seen of any russian in the difference in u.k. democratic process i mean i think that this is there sure is not russian authorities in u.k. politics there is no evidence for that a bit mixed messages but it'll still do the trick russian meddling might be an

of a vaccine on humans or by its nefarious self as russia has done but that's just ma in a details good old russian into ferrets an old friend you can always turn to if the going gets tough and you need a bit of a break from being bashed the united nations says it has no information about the alleged attack on vaccine development the head of the russian sovereign wealth fund which is investing in research here says there's no need for theft because oxford university has been sharing vaccine data under existing commercial agreements we asked people in london and they were worried about a perceived russian threat i don't think it's going to play her shrink sometimes offering these things will distract don't you know just for a smokescreen you know just to you know distract us from what's really going on is a little something. he likes and i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame groceries not rush him in the car and it's like that because like after a few months like a bright sky kind of thing like
8:07 am
a rush and so we think that's kind of complex and if you're using a pointer finger within that there's an old saying you know that's the trick when you point the finger take a look see you have anything to do with your back. so if the allegations emerge we've been getting reaction from former british intelligence staff politicians and analysts. well here we go again highly likely. turn of days are long gone when the public believed how the likely claims by british government or the star or major stars anyway the public demands are of a higher standard of growth nowadays or do they mean by russian stars is this president putin again sitting on radio. jock your motor boat the national oil service. if the hard evidence wouldn't we to publish it if they're caught when what they mean by russian actor actress surely

made his family they are still unhappy because very often it will be the reason these are we are glad the police officers have finally been charged although for some odd reason one female officer in the case is serving as a witness we don't understand this in my view there was a failure to help a person in danger along with assault and actions that led to my son's death and they still haven't been fired the government has changed so let's see what comes next but for me what's happening now is shameful not everyone in the police force is a murderer and there are people doing their jobs in harsh circumstances with a lack of resources we as a family understand that we asked the interior minister is the him by the rules and create the lie that started the whole post 10 journey for $22.00 and she said to family await justice for his death meanwhile they remain defiant that the choke hold technique must be abandoned. paris.

a majority of civilian casualties result from airstrikes with the saudi led coalition blamed by international human rights groups for indiscriminate bombings despite that britain last week and it would resume arms sales to saudi arabia but the international trade secretary saying possible war crimes in yemen seem to be isolated incidents. i have assessed that there is not a clear risk of the export of arms and military equipment to saudi arabia might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law i.e. united kingdom actually still sending the switches to use saudi arabia i don't understand the basis of you know hypocrisy and. completely completely misleading to everybody because it is the government that are seeking money from the saudi any get this is they believe they wouldn't be and yet they didn't do i mean you know a cold case and this and it is if you say when the british government actually had
