in part they relented and they placed those sanctions on russia now in 2019 britain is scheduled to leave the it will that is where there will be an opportunity for russia and the european union to improve their relations and it's certainly it's in the interests of the e.u. to improve relations with russia why because of the message amounts of trade and investment between the european union and and russia and also the e.u. does not want to be on the front line of a potential war because of america animal so it's written and if you're saying this to me earlier here i mean we were in the european union ideals with russia though the british like to always be 1st in line to be have a hard line with this with briggs it coming right now the french the germans the a town. maybe not necessary like countries like poland or the baltic republics but they're beginning to realize that there's going to be a new page that has to be turned here and they want to take the initiative they want to be able to propose instead of just having to have to deal with ending american sanctions which as marcus p

brussels and moscow could improve that relationship now why is that well firstly britain has long been perceived by many in paris and berlin as america's trojan horse brinson relays sensitive information from what is discussed in the european union to washington and secondly it was the efforts it was the last being on behalf of america by britain in 2004 same that push that puts enormous enormous stress pressure on the germans and the french to put a new sanctions on russia the germans and the french and the italians have a very good relationship we've russia and they did not want to place those sanctions by because all written in part they relented and they placed those sanctions on russia now in 2019 britain is scheduled to leave the it will that is where there will be an opportunity for russia and the european union to improve their relations and it's certainly it's in the interests of the e.u. to include fallacious that russia why because of the message amounts of trade and investment between the you're hearing in it and russia and also the you does not want to be on the front line

ok barbara that when do you britain trump. or do you remember that it doesn't make sense to be in liberation square in london the biggest we have a son. he made us we have a saw. and what about this notion of boris johnson being a british version of donald trump. now that seems rather clear and present danger about the bigger danger is really that he will lead britain to the point where it becomes. donald trump who will i mean if in there was tony blair and george w. bush the british popular populations does remember that is really stuck in collective memory and if he goes that way things can go very wrong very quickly for him look at iraq. crisis with iran if he now turns if he doesn't get from these european allies what she wants quickly enough in a military way he might turn to washington and say ok i go was the americans what does that mean that he will adopt is absolutely more belligerent stance towards iran that he will lose the support and the alliance was paris and berlin and it will be a whole different ball game in f

yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch kaiser report. what a whole existence to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what the 43 in the morning can't be good. interested always in the waters about how. they said. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family daughters in florida another mother daughter is very innocent and terry is meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. shocked shocked as far as i feel. we don't know still just for the. end of this unfortunately you. will still not know what childress. welcome back to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real name

britain breaking up. >> he could be. for me the thing that is really deeply worrying and under appreciated is this whole policy is predicated on an idea that crashing out or a clean brexit or whatever you want to call it is somehow the end of the road and plucky britain will go its own way in the world. that's simply not true. the europeans remain our biggest trading partners. if we crash out october 31st if we do, then we zil have to come crawling back to get some kind of trade deal. it's not as though the game is then over. i think we're on for a wild ride in the next couple months. anybody to tells you they can predict the outcome is completely mistaken. it's really unclear. at the end of that, we still have the question of brexit which won't have gone away whatever the outcome. >> a terrific panel. we are going to move beyond brexit. next on "gps," robert mueller's testimony this week. he said russia was trying to interfere with the 2020 election already. what can be con to be deal with russia? i will ask the panel t

one specific point about britain, do you think britain needs to consider releasing that oil tanker detainedht release the british flagship.” wouldn't do a deal actually, i would be searching for a multifaceted deal which involved the release of the iranians tanker in gibraltarfor which involved the release of the iranians tanker in gibraltar for the uk flat one, and also the release plus, for chieftain tanks which were paid for but never delivered. there would have to orchestrate this because it would be... this reminds me thatjohn bolton who is now the security adviser, you are called the jack of tehran to keep the dialogue, the notion of engagement... indeed, butjohn bolton the notion of engagement... indeed, but john bolton has the notion of engagement... indeed, butjohn bolton has called iran wrong on every occasion. the problem with whatjohn bolton and president of have been doing is not undermining the people who take objection and so do i, they have been strengthening it. you served as foreign secretary to tony blair, his contention that him to put british forces into iraq. in britai

britain has seen one of its flagged oil tankers detained by the iranians in a tit—for—tat after britain. how close do you believe we are, in that stretch of water, 00:05:29,275 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to a confrontation? well, i don't think we're that close to a confrontation in a very wide, conventional sense, but i'm quite clear that you could easily get an increase in skirmishing, and something accidental but very serious could happen. so you could easily see a number of iran's fast boats being sunk. you could see the iranians plant mines in retaliation. and then you could, you know, have one of the mines going off, and then you could get a serious escalation. the problem is the iranians are indeed desperate. they feel they have to do something. it doesn't excuse what they're doing, but it's an explanation. as, i've said again, and you can't repeat often enough, the power has shifted very markedly from the elected government to people like hossein salami, who is the major general in charge of the external force of the revolutionary guard, who was a politician in his own right and re

sapir way to the table and obviously britain is part of that a britain isn't a very ambiguous situation because on the one hand they do want to leave any back door open for negotiations and engagement with iran to make this a success despite all the pressure but on the other hand they're also trying to suggest to to washington that they will take action whenever you iran is in breach of international law and and sanctions and that particular the was the case with that oil tanker that went against your law and your sanctions to deliver all to the syrian regime so it was taking illegitimate unlawful actions in that respect and it's also about signalling to the us that you know that britain will not be soft on iran when it is in bridge and the same goes to the hezbollah decision a couple of months ago to basically target as bala as a terrorist organisation which again is in line with the truck ministrations hard line view on iran's activities across the region but all that being said they're trying to balance this with a diplomatic engagement trying to suggest to the iranians that we're st
