your time sure you're listening in as well hear what you think about it how would you assess andrew parker's remarks earlier fair or not fair. well i think you know you are talking about. maybe a soul or misinformation when it comes to the scribbles we need to. work with should be looking much. so her own i mean we've had all this media blackout when it comes to a question about the scruples and likely don't know how to go in there why they were laid it appears they're going to be no it's flat on any reports or the case. notes are a government let's think of business in a gentlemen's agreement between the government and the media what are you going to do because apparently the prime minister series of my came out and said she was almost well but not quite but pretty sure that russia was behind it if the government so sure we saw what what happened you know revocations after that why would you have some sort of dino to slept on it then what's the problem all of a sudden well well quite i mean andrew parker himself just said you know we still don't know we still don't have a suspect. and you k

just a few days ago we had the head of m i five andrew parker accusing russia of the reckless poisoning of the script files so politically this is a case where russia has firmly been established as the culprits even though the head scientist at porton down in the laboratory where the nerve agent was identified here in the u.k. they had scientists that has said publicly that scientists can't identify the origin of where the knob used in the attack came from and in regards to where the child came from the russian ambassador who we saw speaking in a press conference a little bit earlier he's been saying that the u.k. government's continued assertion that it could have only come from russia is coming increasingly under question take a listen to what alexander yack event had to say about it. throw this to recently that russia is the only country that was cute thinks. it was wrong this certainly won't do for the troops could use to. do small amounts of were produced interested in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be critical to pretend that such a thing never. so the s

much of andrew parker speech was devoted to the screwball poisoning of the british government earlier claimed the whole world is sure that russia was behind the attack although as you can see on the map of the countries that have taken that view and expelled russian diplomats are not exactly the entire world and according to political analysts to mccormack the u.k. position does not even have the full support across europe in time so the isolation comment i don't think. so straightforward really because within your you have quite a wide spectrum within the you have parts wide spectrum of opinion about how to i say quote unquote deal as it would be presented in european made it out to deal with russia you know so we have it ranging from a much more friendly government that sets its greece all straight for example which has taken a family new stance with that and i know you know we want to do it still it saves it but i love him in germany and it is a huge amount just why it's in germany following the expulsion of the flow and it didn't have that spelled you know with a significant numbe

at a meeting of security chiefs in berlin, andrew parker will warn that the islamic state group stillstating" attacks in europe. he will also condemn russia for what he says was the "targeted" salisbury poisoning. it will argue the uk and other european intelligence agencies must maintaina european intelligence agencies must maintain a close partnership to combat the evil next a group. he says he still aspires to reform he says he still aspires to reform he says they still aspire to attacks in the middle east. more on that later. two british tourists who were kidnapped in the democratic republic of congo have been freed. the couple were ambushed in virunga national park on friday. a park ranger who was with the tourists was killed. simon clemison has this report. this and robert had been exploring africa's oldest park, wahroonga. 0n friday, the vehicle they were travelling in was ambushed as they we re travelling in was ambushed as they were of the dead. the park ranger tried to protect them, rachel makissa ba ra ka was tried to protect them, rachel makissa baraka was killed. their dr

that was andrew parker, of m15 in berlin making that speech on security.russia but that wasn't possible, they had a ba refa ced wasn't possible, they had a barefaced lying default mode is what he called it, he went on to talk about the manchester attacks and westminster attacks last year saying mi5 westminster attacks last year saying m15 has managed to thwart a further 12 attacks and he said they had a belief those attacks would have materialised if they hadn't have been intercepted by m15 and he said that meant they had been 25 attempts to attack the uk since 2013, all of which had been supported by m15. we'll be talking about this later with our security correspondent frank gardner and a security expert. still to come... kid a scheme to wait nursery school age children combat obesity? more than half of uk police forces are reporting victims of crime to the home office for immigration enforcement. one woman beaten in the street by her partner ended up arrested herself. in another case a women who reported being raped to police was also arrested. the figu

andrew parker also talked about the islamic state group. we refer to him a few times...o dozen and eating. that is a huge reduction in amount of areas controlled, but we are very much told that the threat still exists. 12 terror attacks have been stopped in the ukjust 12 terror attacks have been stopped in the uk just since the westminster attack of last year. here is more of the speech. mr parker in talking about the islamic state group uses the name daesh. europe faces a multidimensional terrorist attack. daesh poses the biggest threat, but al-qaeda and other islamist terrorist groups have not gone away. with the police, we are actively monitoring the objective extreme right—wing terrorism, as we see in senses of that rearing its ugly head. our response is equally firm. the sickening impact shock and disgust of terrorism has been felt right across europe. this is frank gardner's analysis of those comments. it is no surprise that he has mentioned those groups, because that has been going on for quite some time. he gave figures that'll be about 25 attacks the last five o

yes, it is not clear quite perhaps what andrew parkeris not clear quite perhaps what andrew parker isindependent‘s line was that m15 was, it has been several months since the attack in russia last year. it was quite striking reminder of the fact that are still not safe from terrorism. yes, sorry, because i was going to say this is in the telegraph as well. just picking up on your point that their particular angle on this is to say that we all need to be united and we cannot allow brexit to put a spanner in the works. this is about the tensions between brussels and the uk about how much sharing of intelligence there should be after brexit. i think it isjust one of those things where lots of people wa nt those things where lots of people want the government to get on with brexit, they want brussels to get on with brexit, and ijust think when it comes to security if lives are at risk, issued just... it comes to security if lives are at risk, issued just. .. not it comes to security if lives are at risk, issuedjust... not meet picked over. . . risk, issuedjust... not meet picked over... j

andrew parker, a speech in an undisclosed location in berlin.rried about the effects of brexit on security cooperation. the angle that the independent was keenest on was in saying that mi5 has stopped a terror attack every month since the westminster attack in march last year. and that certainly sends a chill down my spine. it reminds us, you see around westminster these signs saying that the state of security is still severe or something, and that is what it means. it is worth being reminded of that. and it all builds into what appears to be their message, this idea that, given how difficult the situation still is and the level of threat which is not going down in terms of isis, even though we are seeing them defeated, in certain areas where they had strongholds, it does not stop the problem. it is best to work together where you can and that is the message to the european allies. i do think here they are talking about how the eu are going to play hardball with us on security. you do think there are some things i completely get playing ha rd ba

andrew parker making a speech on foreign soil about the direct threat that russia poses he will say notjust but to the rest of the world. had it in russia it will take this? is this of significance, do you think? yes, i think it is significant. the fact that it i think it is significant. the fact thatitis i think it is significant. the fact that it is happening in berlin makes it obviously significant. so, you know, he is making a pointed attack on russia. but as i say, that is not big that has come out of this. the new line is what he is saying about what michel barnier should be thinking about later today. when you talk about security between the eu and what will be the uk post—brexit, not part of the eu any more, i guess it is important for all member states to have that close security cooperation when terrorism is international. not just cooperation when terrorism is international. notjust terrorism but all security. absolutely. i think that they will be very conscious of the fact that the uk has played a leading part in that, not least because of the five eyes security system that has

or much of andrew parker speech was devoted to the scream paul poisoning the british government earlier claimed the whole world is sure that russia was behind the attack although as you can see on the map the countries that have taken that view and expelled russian diplomats are not the entire world and according to political analyst tara mccormick the u.k. position does not even have the full support of europe in time so the isolation comment i don't think. so straightforward really has within your quite a wide spectrum within the you have parts wide spectrum of opinion about how to i say quote unquote deal as it would be presented in european made it out to deal with russia you know so we have it ranging from a much more friendly government that sets its greece all straight for example which is taken a founding you throw stones at that and i know you know we want to do it still it saves it but i look him in germany and it was a huge amount to just buy it in germany following the expulsion of the flow and it didn't come out that i mean expelled you know with a significant number. of po

just a few days ago the head of m i five andrew parker said the russian was recklessly poised had recklessly poisoned the script files so politically diplomatically this is a case where russia has been named as the culprit even though there are facts such as the head scientist of the government lab that identified the nerve agent used there has said that the scientists haven't been able to ascertain the origin of the nor the chalk used in the attack so major development in this story. has been discharged from hospital he's continuing his recovery and i think it's safe to assume that police are going to continue talking to him as well scotland yard has released a statement saying that the counterterrorism investigation into the attack continues but we're going to be keeping the progress of that under wraps as well as the procedure of the extensive security arrangements surrounding. powell now that is all confidential as well despite this huge scandal and the political fallout that since huge with all the diplomatic expulsions it appears that investigators are still none the wiser as to who th
