sir tony brenton talking to me a little earlier. 17 people have been injured after a coach veered offheavy fog in oxfordshire. the vehicle came off the mao slip road near thame. the met office has issued a weather warning of fog across much of southern england and parts of wales and is advising drivers to take care — our reporter helena lee has the latest. it was in the early hours of this morning in thick fog the coach veered off a slip road off the m40, before rolling into a ditch and on its side. its mangled remains and the damage done clear when it was turned back over. 16 passengers were on board, travelling from heathrow to oxford. remarkably, none were seriously injured but all were treated in hospital, some for broken bones, others for cuts and bruises. the bad weather made the recovery operation challenging. all three emergency services attended. with 17 people on board in total, very intensive for the paramedics and the ambulance crews that attended, assisted by fire and the police services, as well. obviously, probably a chaotic scene to start with and dense fog not helping

sir tony brenton is a former uk ambassador to moscow — he described what he thought might be the motivesstance. he is trying to build a good relationship with trump. trump has said he wants a better relationship with russia. let's not kid ourselves, and british politicians have not got the message. we were in the extraordinary leap danger situation with russia and america, when both sides were talking about shooting them planes over syria. russia was testing the killer missiles, and so on. we need to get away with that. trump is talking about a thawing of the relationship, and everybody in the uk should be encouraging him to do that. the results of an initial postmortem examination into the cause of death of the singer george michael have been published this afternoon. a little earlier richard lister gave me the details. yes, thames valley police issued a short statement saying the postmortem examination was carried out yesterday. that the cause of death is inconclusive and further tests will now be carried out. they go on to say the results of these tests are unlikely to be known for se

sir tony brenton was the uk's former british ambassador in russia between 2004 and 2008.e explained the reasoning behind president putin's decision not to expel us diplomats. the thing that will be at the top of his mind now is how to establish a good working relationship with trump, and this is a part of preparing for that. a new relationship starting from a very low point. he wants to present himself as, "i want a good relationship, i am the peacemaker in syria, we all hate isis and need to work together", he is trying to build a good relationship with trump. trump, as you know, has said, "we want a better relationship with russia." let's not kid ourselves, and it's sad that british politicians haven't really got the message yet, we were in a very extraordinarily dangerous situation with regard to russia and america, when both sides‘ generals were talking about shooting down the other side's planes. russia was demonstrating nuclear—tipped missiles in kaliningrad and so on. we need to get away from that. trump's arrival and his talk of a thaw give us an opportunity to do

with me is sir tony brenton, a former british ambassador to russia between 200a and 2008.vu. absolutely, when i was an ambassador we throughout the plus because of the litvinenko affair. for the diplomats themselves it is quite something. it is a major shock in their lives, it disrupts careers, families, schooling, all of that. we can be slightly glib about it being a ritual but it has more serious implications. our hope at the time of the litvinenko affair was that it was a disincentive for the russians doing something similar and the americans will have a similar hope with regard to stopping russians publicising the products of their hacks. everybody hacks. you say that but there was a lot of our knees and anger in the united states that the russians should be hacking during a presidential election. they see that as beyond the pale. let's not overstate this. i think the ordinary american expects his spy agencies to hack into russian material and would not be surprised if the russians and private corporations, the chinese, do this as well, it is part of the world we live

let's speak with sir tony brenton, who was the uk ambassador to russia between 2004 and 2008.joining us. firstly, what are your thoughts on russia turkey relations in light of this killing? can i say one other thing first, because as a former ambassador myself, you know always you are a symbol and to some extent a target and it is particularly worrying and tragic when one of our number is killed in this way and i think we all feel very sympathetic to his family. 0n the impact on roseau turkish relations, contrary to what people expected, this is likely to strengthen. the turks have reacted in the same way, killing the assailants, president erdogan has been on the telephone to mr putin. there was a meeting scheduled between foreign ministers tomorrow and that will take place and they have identified a common enemy here, is lamb is. for the russians, that is lamb is. for the russians, that is why they are in syria, to fight extremist islam —— common enemy, islamism. turkey themselves have had islamist atrocities and they will be keen to tackle the phenomenon revealed by this att

it might well be americanism and americans -- dance card and brenton in 1775 and 76 and probably made the usage less popular. the third edition of the oed from the early 20th century despairs. it is a misuse. the dictionary evidently rising from misunderstandings such as what had transpired that he did not know which is a way of explaining something. this novel gives of the work is pretty common in the united states nor does it appear to be uncommon in england. though it has been repeatedly censored by judicious critics here and there as improper. another thing to keep in mind actually transpires.
