a year in the heart of the highly anticipated much too late for ford also claims russian remains a top security priority well we got reaction on the streets of london i think we can take you so why should they interfere and based on nothing to do with them but they were trying to play russian there just by any. minute or as proposed in the netherlands that could give the l.t.p. people the right to euthanasia even if they are not suffering from any medical condition as we debate the issue. it is for elderly people who are. themselves so nobody else no family think their life needs no worth living anymore but as a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to death in the u.s. accuses china of sponsoring hackers to spy on. american companies walking on

a bike for you to cope with 19. bring you your news around the clock this is our senior national glad you could join us to have a look at what's going on around the world. starting with our top story bars johnson has come under fire in the british parliament over the newly released report into alleged russian meddling in u.k. politics while the report itself didn't look for proof of any to wrecked russian involvement in the british democratic process westminster was accused of failing to conduct a thorough inquiry or to take the threat seriously let's cross live to come down to cape partridge who's got all the details kate another hot day in part about what
11:03 am
more can you tell us how this ask a yes a day after it was published the highly anticipated and as you said delayed report into alleged russian interference in british politics essentially stirred up debate and it produced a particularly spirited let's say prime minister's questions between boris johnson and opposition labor leader. the people of this to this country didn't vote to leave the e.u. because of pressure from russia in russia. they voted because they wanted to take back control of our money of our trade policy about who is to speak or i see the promise is already in is prepared lines this is a serious. serious question of national security the prime minister's son told this report for 10 months and failed to pluck that got it out of the national security for a year and a half. what during that heated debate as we heard there the storm of the labor leader accused the prime minister of compromising the u.k.'s national security by
11:04 am
sitting on that report for 10 months and failing to investigate the threat posed by russia when in response bush johnson accused the labor party of trying to undermine breakfast he said that it was simply the ploy of remain as it were trying to say that russian influence meant that the u.k. has voted to leave the e.u. well it's comes as a time when the british government says that they're not going to re-examine the ballots into breaks that they say they've released a statement a retrospective assessment of the e.u. referendum is not necessary following that russia report that 50 page report of the intelligence and security committee say that the u.k. was clearly a target for dissent from ation campaigns around the elections well they suggest that the inforcing and espionage act would prevent individuals or certainly make it difficult for individuals to conceal any ties they had to a foreign country and also suggest a referee a sorry a register i should say for foreign agents like they have in the us where you would have to register with something like the justice department to declare your outside interests and also to work with online companies to prevent any hostile state
11:05 am
activity on their platforms when the response the u.k. government says that it says it long recognise the threat posed by russia and says that moscow is a security priority it also says it has a 30 yes strategy for dealing with the kremlin. who is protecting british public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one to the u.k. government to get our of the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up the outrage isn't that there was interference the outrage is that no warning as want to know if there was. well in the meantime the actual report into alleged russian interference has provided little evidence for its claims and recommendations but it certainly has
11:06 am
stirred up debate it's reinvigorated debate and certainly there's plenty of skepticism here in the u.k. about whether or not russia has interfered in british politics. while whether it's about brecht sort of whether it's about russia never a dull day in parliament that's for sure that was kate partridge reporting for us from london many thanks. well to get some more insight into this let's cross now to adele dollar she's a british commentator historian and author adele a lot 7 of voices saying that the government avoided looking for evidence that russia interfered almost as if they really wanted to find something how far would you agree with. well i think it's just an accusation because the report publication. they both actually was or when dominic grieve the former attorney german who was actually one of the chief remain as you want to stay in the you was the head of that committee he couldn't that is
11:07 am
on and then comes the election and obviously rightly you cannot block these kind of the 4 that might affect the election but if you look at the press conference yesterday when journalists or asking what is the smoking gun business more being done and as we say there's no evidence that we actually stand up in court as the prime minister's correctly as you pointed out in your reports. has actually said it's the as dangerous on the men those segue that you want that the elite want to stay remain in the you want actually to look and say that as if the british public is under age to be guided and can actually understand the information is that they are also other accusation the russians like for example the feelings in the scottish friend but no one is making accusations about this one thing it's not convenient for the opposition no to even their stomach would have exploited
11:08 am
the poison at tag that was actually happened at the is that go but again he did not he actually went down the path of trying to get at the government so again at the punch and judy british politics rather than for the role of foreign policy and how to deal with russia you mentioned that how that was kind of the expectation that it would be something sensational you know that everyone wanted it to be some sort of bombshell report and that's perhaps why people thought that the government was so very locked in to really set for all of these months what do you think was the reason for the delay. i think probably you'll find that within boris's answer that because it was the committee was predominantly read into the chairman them agree with him and that it would have been used to undermine the
11:09 am
referendum result and that was that one ticket that boris actually a go into the leadership and managed to become the leader of the state of the party that the prime minister and then when he confessed to the election before christmas again it was on that ticket that actually get their exit done so publishing that report in this way and then we know the large part of the establishment and the media is actually pro at him in the e.u. that would have exploded it and that extent i don't think that to do with security i don't think that the corruption and i think it was convenient for typically conflicts p.t.s.d. for the government for his young son not to publish it for that reason and that easily the report also warns that one of the goals of russian descent formation is to sort of so discordant cement extremists even their rhetoric me why would that be of interest to russia well it did date the received wisdom is that the
11:10 am
russian wanted the european union to disintegrate but also wanted to supply the united kingdom misinformation and so on as a journalist i obviously i support my country but at the end one that the other and as a journalist i would never actually agree to censorship for the causes of were it's actually coming from we can't fight this information if you find fake news as it was and sump would say with another new is we have more outlets and the more information we have is that that i will never agree on censorship in the name of trying to combat this information. well actually i want to pick up on something what you said to ship because we know that star has now called for the licensing of all t.v. in the u.k. to be revised now do you think that that is something that should even be on the table that it should be even discussed. no actually as i said as
11:11 am
a journalist last i would never ever agree censorship. even if it's actually something that would actually harm me and i've got a views on without it i would never accept the report in fact anyone i've used to it that but because it's actually the more information the more open we have to be. open and by actually having the facts. and the fact that the public as if the vote was just under 3 choices you have to actually know sure there are x. 3 that we only show off online the look news i think it's not. an insult in fact it would be. television's and i think some most trying to. score points. are interesting point though he said that he's i'm live
11:12 am
a part is now on the new management and under his leadership he doesn't allow anybody to appear on our. list of either of their position or that. on any on the chinese on anybody and put my point of view across west that he very grateful that today you came on to the inspector austin gave us your comments and insight that was adult always british commentator historian and author that many thanks for joining us thank you while the publication of the russia report was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday on your whole cannes now looks at what exactly it said. the get a very brief summary of the long awaited russia report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appeared to suggest that her majesty's government had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in u.k. democratic processes seems to be enough so if you're short on time or don't want to
11:13 am
read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel stop watching now otherwise let's go on. open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it or anti e.u. stories on r.t. and sputnik and the use of bots and trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process we have sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or built on these studies in response in my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the report's authors were seemingly surprised by the limited response of the intelligence services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling international domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and artie's editorial policies and coverage bricks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under
11:14 am
fire but it's still russia that poses the risk and the security services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u.k.'s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u.k. politics through digital media wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threats of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations of again the impact of such influence remains elusive. the impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and we have not sought to do so state agencies haven't looked closely enough for open source
11:15 am
information according to the report they lacked a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more important role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way christopher steele author of the infamous anonymous golden shower dossier and contributors that the institute for us they craft an integrity initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise the states that russia is a threat and moscow's response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u.k. however small is still be on the horizon we've got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in that russian report. we're
11:16 am
a shadow of the moon. because it's just more of a more destruction what's really going on. in the photo a shot of a russia was. just in the mood i just think we can't get to you so why should they interfere and based on nothing to do with the way we should know if they would take a lead in this no way to make a list of beginning where. you know other countries grew interfere with the politics of other people will try to influence government interest. in utah has been proposed in the netherlands opening up assisted suicide to people even if they are not suffering from any medical conditions the netherlands is one of course of of the few countries that housing equalised euthanasia but the m.p. behind the bill claims the current rules don't go far enough. right now people jump
11:17 am
into a canal or put a plastic bag on their head they sometimes have to choose the most terrible ways to die that's why we want to give the possibility to die with dignity with members of their family or friends near them i think this law is important even if it's about a few people because we give them the possibility to have a say on their end of life even when they're not terminally ill or suffering medically but still suffering our present optional say person is only eligible for euthanasia if their suffering is unbearable with no prospect of improvement at least to talk to us must check the patient's condition before administering a lethal injection that also has strict requirements as to how the procedure itself is carried out and who performs it. the proposed law has drawn criticism with people arguing well for it is should do more to help people in need rather than just how a suicide po well we put the issue up for debate. if they spark off
11:18 am
a policy told get aren't the people the good quality of life of course that this a bit strange to talk about. terminating life has being told make better quality of life but that's exactly what the law is for it is for elderly people or themselves so nobody else no family think their life nice at this moment no worth living anymore not because they are ill but just because they are too old for them selfs and in reality 98 percent of them as a study has shown if given the proper bedside manner if shown that they are worth something when we want to live so as a compassionate society we should be making people feel loved rather than feeling like a burden so much so that they would want to be put to death and i am confident that it all countries around the world doc clones are helping patients die if they really do want to die but it is done in secret and in the netherlands said east we
11:19 am
do it in the open and so we know what the netherlands how many times doctor he's forced in his own id to assist someone to determine it's his life any time there is a debate about assisted suicide euthanasia the opponent of this is would always point to the netherlands because there it is it is gone from bad to worse i think dutch doctors have gone from euthanizing the terminally ill to the chronically ill people a serious disability to the mostly and mentally ill now that it is being elderly euthanasia was a platform of nazi germany as well so we can derive it. the reality is you don't think it's all of us we should use our name and we should want people to look at all these efforts made with covert to keep the elderly communities safe. why would we now throw it out of the window and say at 75 your life is no longer worth living if you don't want to live it let's work with the other community to make them feel
11:20 am
. wanted to make their lives better there are older people they must be 75 years or older or who like to terminal kill situation patients do not want to live. in that situation and they want to have to right to say all you want brother to be death to live people in this way and i want to die a dignified this and that has nothing to do with spending in more me trying to make your life better it is what every doctor every person supervisor will fight for family will fight for it but if in the eyes of the person who wants to die there is no possibility or no real possibility then they should have the right to die in a dignified way instead of suicide to the european court of human rights has been clear that this is not a human right 15 or 20 years or euthanized in the netherlands every year and one person the correlation the size by its distance suicide with the us supported by.
11:21 am
the 1st of all babies are not euthanized because they have a separate and it is not due to mazie are because they cannot also principle it is not euthanasia and the person that's very definitely. disorders don't know at this the do you have to children we do not consider them to have euthanasia they will have help in shortening their life. at it looks like euthanasia but it is not euthanasia it is fairly pertinent to make the difference friends with the adult euthanasia in the netherlands and the babies who are seriously ill. are helped to terminate her life's. guys still raging in the us city of portland up to president trump sent in troops to quash rust on armed protesters have been beaten and asked a russian t.v. crew at the scene was also assaulted by officers and had their equipment smashed
11:22 am
demonstrators meanwhile have been starting fires near the federal courthouse. thank you thank. you. the federal forces were sent to portland by the president to stamp out nearly 2 months of onto braces for chess but now the rallies have changed focus with people chanting beds go home the white house claims the city's mayor has lost control of the city. straight and doctors have proposed renaming sites and parts of the body claiming that the current does of nations often create by man all
11:23 am
sexist and outdated i think we have a personal choice to dick organize our language and these historical terms will feed the young trainee talk to some mostly keen to learn the most relevant language and often show when they hear the origins of some medical terms out of 700 parts of the body only one is named after a woman critics claim using medical terms with dead men's names is irrelevant on misfortune istic some of the best known body parts of course of the adam's apple and the achilles heel we got reaction from people in new york. it's completely absurd and misplaced anger and misplaced aggression toward something that is completely irrelevant to any type of movement or any type of affirmation of anytime anyone sexuality i think that especially in this country but around the world. a lot of people hold on to that slowly and spits out some way to say that that's
11:24 am
absolutely not true i don't i cri of changing the names to body parts you know because for example it's part of our story how nifty on it but i mean i don't really care like body parts are all so i think it's high and i think there are way more important things to deal with in changing. something and that really and i don't have to leave it as it is it's fine it's about gender it's a ball of. a ball ring name you know the gender on the walk the people what to say about their body i've never felt and that's my. john list and host of pseudo intellectual more in chad believes the idea is being pushed by a minority. it absolutely does not make sense and like so many efforts we see nowadays to control language i think this is just about frankly activists busy bodies trying to assert their authority over other people it's concerning that
11:25 am
we're now seeing this seep into the sciences and i think if we actually want to make science more welcoming for women in general it starts with seeing women not as these very delicate very easily offended creatures that can't even stand to hear the term hysterectomy i know is one of the things that activists were complaining about and i think what's happening here is we have a small group of activists who are proclaiming themselves spokesperson for the entire female gender when they are simply not but we also have the issue of rewriting history here because as i'm sure a lot of people realize some of these body parts named after men specifically were named after the doctors who discovered them or did pioneering work on them so we're not just controlling people's language here we are also really rewriting history which i think is very very concerning. the hunt for a kovacs seen as hutting international relations to the u.s. justice department has accused china all piecing hakas to spy on american companies
11:26 am
walking on a kewl comes a week off to the u.k. canada and the u.s. made similar claims about another country russia. china has now taken its place alongside russia iran and north korea and the shameful club of nations that provide a safe haven for some of that criminals in exchange for those criminals being cool to feed the chinese communist party's insatiable hunger for american and other known chinese companies on the intellectual property including 19 research the accusations come as china says its vaccine has successfully passed its 2nd phase of testing it's currently being developed and will have on more than 500 adults have taken part in the trials and the new job has been deemed safe from reportedly a jew says the desired immune response on tuesday u.s. secretary of state might compare was in the u.k. discussing joint actions to counter the chinese threat he praised london for its
11:27 am
tough stance on beijing and accusing the chinese communist party of exploiting the pandemic for its own and trust fund stealing intellectual property. we just we would know every one of them a sealed intellectual property denying citizens of the united states who worked hard to create something to invent something to get a better trademark in the chinese communist party directed at state owned enterprises to seal that property from americans we hope we can build out a coalition that understands this threat will work collectively to convey to the chinese communist party it's not in their best interest to gauge in this kind of behavior chinese international relations expert victor gao believes washington would be better off cooperating with other countries over a fact say than making accusations of its. we should actually participate in the global initiative launched by the w.h.o. rather then backing out of the w.h.o.
11:28 am
of this particular moment you should cooperate closely with other countries including lindsey china and russia many european countries and japan for example in jointly developing the vaccine they are not doing it with the w.h.o. the are accusing others of stealing such allegations are loose and pure fabrication the data states government actually should do a better job in containing the spread of corona virus preventing more and more american people from dying and from getting contaminated china is ahead of the united states and most likely many other countries in terms of developing the vaccine which is very very important and the chinese president xi jinping already declared that was the vaccine produced by china is fully completed china will declare that as an international public good so that people in all countries can have the benefits of the vaccine. that's helpings the shaping up and i'll be back
