u. k. with his target podcast, social media, or anywhere else, where punches might be to talk tobar outputs like these with high profile sports falls, advertising, gambling companies, the band ex player, the managers can still do whatever they please. let's recap because progress has been made. there are fewer ads on tv, and there are more rules around advertising. and let's face it crumbling isn't the only legal activity that causes holmes? they can ruin lives quicker than almost anything else. the problem is huge. is the proof. 43 percent of the u. k. population gumble, that's about 23000000 people. the percentage of problem gamblers maybe just not point 3 percent. but still more than 60000 people. people whose lives are at stake. what's more book is make more than 70 percent of the profits from $5.00 to $10.00 of their customers. so this is not just about money. public health, england estimates 2 of those $60000.00 people, full $109.00 will commit suicide every year. in 2018, one of those was

u. k. this month and actually compared with, arise, has been seen in the your a zone is the u. k. or is there a feeling in the u. k that is struggling a little bit more than its neighbors over in europe. yeah, i think for the past month it's always been a little bit neck on neck. we've seen a little bit of a recovery towards the end of last year. both india zone and, and the u. k. now, this morning, figure, as you said, i'm show that you can call it back in january. and especially the service sector under performing this does contracts. so it's been a little bit of a bit nick back in terms of economic news. we have consumer confidence picking up from the low bay. but it is a little bit too early to tell whether the u. k. will be able to turn the corner whether the u. k. would be able to escape recession. and i think our base case scenario are kind of central forecast for the k quantum is that it's still will enter recession and the 1st half of 2023. okay. kind noise out from the center for economics and business research. thank you very much for joining us on the business . thank

in birmingham with duncan as the speech of the islands of the shingles archipelago had been british territories. and satan 14, when they were seated to britain by france in 1966 the u. k. agreed with united states to make the british indian ocean tendered free available for the defense purposes of the u. s. and the u. k. and the to gulshan people were removed from the islands. we must, however, now look forward not back on decisions about the future of the british indian ocean territory. the government has now considered all the available information and has decided against the resettlement of which gulshan people on the grounds of feasibility, defense and security interests, and the cost to the british taxpayer. the costs of being estimated to, to vary from anything between 55000000 for a me a 50 people going back to anything like 256000000 pounds for one and a half 1000. it would then also triggered the obligation of a majesty's government to pay on an annual basis, the costs of sustaining the population. and in fact, when there is no hospital available, no, no care urgently that can be delivered to people. it is in my view, unsustainable to expect a community of an

u. k with that challenge of time. that's brianne and kimberly how good to join this now from outside the white house. so kimberly the statement as expected. 31 april time is going to ukraine. yeah, this statement is what's expected, but a couple of things in there that are important to know the 1st the president is ian you heard there are the reporters question about the pressure from germany. the reason for that question is very simple. it says, because this is a bit of a policy reversal for the president, given the fact that his own pentagon and generals were somewhat resistant to sending these tags because of the fact that they are cumbersome. you heard the president acknowledging that there the fact that this is an older technology, the abrams tanks were designed back in the seventy's. and although they have been upgraded, they operate on jet fuel. so there's a tremendous amount of logistics that is involved in facilitating these on the battlefield. so you are the president talking there about how there is going t

u. k must, let's go with it's colonial mindset that china reacts to london's criticism of its policies in hong kong human rights watch sounds the log a violation for the u. k itself with a very welcome. this is auntie international. with the latest world news updates, good, happy with us. top story this out, the russian defense ministry said moscow has taken full control of the strategic count of sola, dawn and dawn. yes, we're public. that we say it's combined. russian forces took part in that battle, including the voc, their private military group, which forward inside the town and it's underground lines. these were long calls or if details the events and the significance of the battle. according to russia's defense, been as freely offensive in their salazar, that ended with the defeat of the armed forces of ukraine and the capture of the city were carried out by different branches of the russian forces. now liberation mission includes a blocking of the city from the north and south isolation of the combat area and also prevention of the enemy from transferring reserves to the city from

is the only thing and the analysis isn't being done now way with during war time on but began in 2019 especially after his visit to the u. k. and everything else over with the u. k is influence is greater than that of the u. s. and the rest of the west is the u. k. that pulls the strings in ukraine and is a major external controller that you might video. and they know whatever happens, i mean zalinski and his entourage. amy, they'll be fine, no matter what happens in ukraine. they'll leave and lead a calm life. that's why they so calmly let their country be torn apart and fall into further poverty, or the least, they let it become an arena for a stand off between russia and away listening him as though i sees i flung book aqua. and what was the reply blunt again? what that the pretty of us the you, they have only one plan. now. this stand off was meant to weaken russia, what every packet of and today we are seeing this happening very well, yet not the victory of ukraine was it. but we will know is impossible due to certain objective reasons, once they get a song. but it could ignite an internal struggle usa in m latiere se

u. k. further with kind noise failed. he's had a forecasting of the center for economics on business research in london. thanks love joining us on the program. kai, we see people being paid to use less energy in the u. k. it seems pretty extreme. how serious is the energy situation over? well, this is more of a precautionary measure, then really an emergency. so what national grid, the grid operator here where prison is trying to do is balance the supply and demand for energy. and it's just that at the moment we have a situation where there's very little wind energy, it's very cold. so people use a lot of energy and they just that it's a good idea to pay people a bit of money to use less energy. but in a, in a more, you know, urgent emergency situation, there would be coal power plants as well on standby. so it's not really a risk of blackout. it's more precautionary measure. it would seem very grateful to get this money. turning off that cattle isn't there, lights after 5 pm, but that's because there are various of the c

and really, this law has nothing to do with extension with no human rights watch as criticize this other groups saying that the u. k. could be moving a bit more to a dictatorship rather than a democracy. would you agree with that? absolutely. i stand by the definition of a police state being one where the police are paid more than teachers. well, that's been the case in our country for quite a long time. now there's obviously a lot of discussion about strikes in the u. k. m, with the, the government wanted to maintain a minimum level of service. where is that balance between allowing people to be able to, to, to strike on maintaining that level of service, especially in trains, of any chess or any other number of stripes taking place in the u. k. at the moment, we know that work has to deliver these essential services and especially ones which keep people alive. i going on strike. they don't do it for fun. they don't do it to cause suffering. they do it because number one, they are suffering to the extent that they can't do their job and they can't survive on their salaries. and number 2, they are actually calling

u. k. 2018 with a strip of course thing. it is now clear that mr. script hon and his daughter were poisoned with a military grade nerve agent of the type developed by russia. this is part of a group of nerve agents known as novi chart. that's obviously very concerning when even in the case, things like that are happening when you are investigating what powerful people do, whether they're states or companies or billionaires, you are vulnerable in many different ways. and you can be investigated yourself. you can be surveilled or you can have propaganda campaigns launched against you. you can get harassed on line all of that. and i think the more important your work is and the closer it is to power the closer it gets to figuring out what power is doing. the more risk there is i just received a message from manuel. yeah. the daughter of timmy unfortunately, to me cannot talk on the phone at the moment. he is currently in the hospital, should i bring him a message from you? i answered her. thank sooner for the message we are ver

camila valley acquitted by the country that he during agency of scandal expose during last is with the u. k. must lead to go with colonial mindset. somehow, china reacts to london's criticism of its policies in hong kong. paul gordon is told to mind its own business that comes under criticism from human rights with welcome. this is not the international with the latest world news updates good to have you with us. now the russian defense ministry, se moscow has taken full control of the strategic town of solar dot in the don units republic. it's a, it's combined to russian forces took part in the boston, including the wagner, private military group, which fort inside the town. and it's on the ground mines ortiz were long calls or of details. the events and significance of the advance according to russia's defense pin is freely offensive. in this salazar, that ended with the defeat of the armed forces of ukraine and the capture of the city were carried out by different branches of the russian forces. now, the liberation mission included a blocking of the city from the north and south isolatio

u. k with heavier tanks have come forward. but a lot of focus, i think, on germany because it's the manufacturer of the leper to tank, which is not just one that germany has stocks of many other europeans do. and under export controls, germany sold this to many european countries, but they're not allowed to give those tanks to ukraine without german permission. so i think a lot of the focus on germany and that focus will continue this week, rob, because at the end of the week, an important meeting taking place around in air base in germany. and that's a meeting of all of ukraine's allies looking at military aid. i think the germans and the new german defense minister. we're going to come under quite a quite a bit of pressure that meeting to do a little bit more particularly on the issue of tanks. that's our diplomatic editor, james base talking to us from dallas. james, thank you. german chancellor. all of shots has named ballast historian, as the country is new defense minister. he served as an interior this and the hanover r

u. k. will argue that issues with accuracy can be fixed. they are wrong, technology can always be improved on what's a bigger concern is that currently there are no laws governing the use of facial technology in the country, whether it's the state using it or even private companies. i think what's really troubling at the moment if the technology is being rolled out without legislation and empowered regulators. this is not technology that has a very good track record of being countable. so i can find out a who's using it under what circumstances, what's, what's done with the data where it's stored, what's the track record of cyber security on keeping that data protected? all of the things we have no idea has just been rolled out when people feel that they're being observed all the time. that has a really chilling effect. so things like you're right to protest. you're right to go to a job interview to hang out with some friends to go to church. these are things that perhaps the state doesn't have a right to keep an eye on. the met police have

u. k. have tractor with some sort of biometric device in school picking is a parent campaign for children's rights and creator of the biometrics in school blog. i think companies are putting the tech into a school setting because you put a compliant population school children. what ask am all question if they're being surveilled little bit more than general population simply cuz they don't know any better. the concern i have it by metrics in schools is that for the way back in 1999 and throughout the whole of that next decade in 2000 is that we as an adult population when using biometrics at all, not even of phones. and certainly we had children as young as 3 and 4 using their fingerprint to get in and out of school systems. the gross of affordable biometric technology means that fingerprints iris scans, facial recognition, and infrared palm scanning, had been used to speed up access to canteens, lie breeze, registrations, payments, and lockers. a big selling point, of course, has been security by metric enabled access is seen as a foolproof way of keeping school building safer. however, a

india is aiming design a free trade agreement with the u. k. later this year, however, the deal is not expected to allow indians to freely travel to britain. economic relations between the 2 countries are on the rise with their total trade turnover, reaching more than $29000000000.00 pounds last year, which is 33 percent higher than the previous year. the u. k. 's exports to india in 2022 amounted to more than 12000000 pounds, while india's exports to britain reach more than 17000000000. however, there are some serious obstacles in the upcoming deal says is not expected to involve free movement of indians to the u. k, which was something wanted it had agreed on earlier. in a similar deal with australia, we have to make sure that each trade agreement was saying it's tailored to the specific country, the kinds of mobility, or if i can do to a country like australia is not going to be the same kind of ability offer. i can do with a country like india, which has good many times the population to go further end up on this one, cross live now to new d

i gross down to like supposed hearing loss is with the u. k. must let go with its colonial mindset. that's how china reacts to london's criticism. roberts policies and hong kong, while person is told to mind to phone business as it comes under criticism from human rights watch. with a very welcome, this is auntie international. with the latest world news update, it's good to happy with our top story, the russian defense ministry says moscow has taken full control at the strategic town of sola dot. and the don units republic is combined. russian forces took part in the boston, including the vomiting, private military group, which fort inside the town, and it's on the ground mines. ortiz remind calls or of details. the events sounds significant of the advance. according to russia's defense, been as freely offensive in their salazar, that ended with the defeat of the armed forces of ukraine as a capture of the city were carried out by different branches of the russian forces . now, the liberation mission included a blocking of the city from the north and south isolation of the combat a

the scottish coast have been exploited by british companies for decades with practically nothing left over for the scots fin. the u. k. the methods that scotland subsidized by england. but if you look at the statistics, it's a scotland subsidizing with this the other way around. so it's a colonial situation. it's a parasitical situation. and so why, why should we be supporting a, the people of england and the union, which doesn't say of the people of scotland makes no sense. because talk after packing the van neil has a look online as always, have you go? the debate is coming to a had their to neil has his eye on one particular website. scotland matters, an influential body run by pro unionists who oppose scottish independence. contradictions, scotland matters, because for these people scored and doesn't matter the late to make the weapons against the tenants, that it's all about. it's all nicholas engines plan. that's all her heart quest to get it done. but they forget that we've elected her and we believe this in numerous times and given democratic monday. so the trying, you know, circumvent and for independence is

u. k. i with strike spreading and talk of a system on its knees is britain's reverence for its national health service looking much needed reform. such javits certainly think so. the conservative for my health secretary and finance minister wrote recently the 75 year old model of the n h. s. is unsustainable? javits suggested people could pay for consulting a family doctor and price island system where patients must pay around $81.00 to access the equivalence of the you case accident and emergency departments a n e, unless referred by their doctor. now that's the sort of idea most british politicians run away from because it means scrapping the doctrine that healthcare should be free at the point of need. the prime minister has distance himself from the comments for which you see like did before taking off it, talk about issuing fines to any as patients who missed appointment. he then backtracked, the opposition labor parties also stepped into the debate shadow hill secretary west street and has s
