britain's problem and britain's decision but at least. in my view is doing square and the stand a bold. politics norms let me go to our dear i reflected by what we just heard from our guest in paris interesting go ahead yeah yeah i think the thing to understand here is the shift that's taken place over the course of the last 3 years we have the referendum in 2016 the political class were overwhelmingly for remaining within the european union and the vote went against them so it came as a real shock to them the initial response from to raise the mayor's as been say it was one of the mentally damage limitation in terms of how the britain withdrew from the european union she wanted to moderate the way that we withdrew so that we could retain as many links as possible and stay in sync with with our european partners the problem that she's hardened the problem that boris faces just now is that the damage limitation that he's faced with is the very existence of the conservative party because the people have taken against to raise amaze. poor at

all 4 of these were rights to cancel and he defied works this year well as you know media here in britain is covering the protests we have pictures in this studio of the american flags and british flags being flown by the protesters media here says they are peaceful protesters and in fact british media sense thora g.'s are investigating c g n the chinese international channel for bias the western. coverage on the hong kong events have certainly been highly biased in our view and you know there have been a lot of description of the events in hong kong as police brutality whereas actually although the protests have taken place for over 100 days there have not really been serious injuries and no fatalities compare with the way western police hendo the los angeles riots in the 1970s occupy wall street in 2011 and the london riots in 2011 also in 5 days there were 5 deaths several 1000 arrested whereas in the whole call we have over 200 policemen injured maybe a similar number of members of public also injured but really no serious injuries and no fatalities yes but arguably in london when the

wheels are better in britain so when you touring back in england. i guess that depends on bricks it really so if you don't want me back then it's probably a good idea to like forget that idea about bricks. funny how they're speaking to us a ruptly studios in berlin is single divided cities is out now that's over the show will be like on wednesday when you add to the day of the brutal assassination of the washington post jamal khashoggi allegedly by saudi agents assisted by israeli spy where until then people talk about social media don't forget to subscribe to our you tube channel. 10 years since crosstalk started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geo political jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will literally. be elites. late night show it's a rare format piece f

when protection from the pictish or the americans by flying their flags you probably remember when britain. ruled ongoing in a defacto dictatorship is it a failure of hong kong authorities as regards education that the young in hong kong some of the young you know gong don't remember the british defector dictatorship our young people i think they have been you know very set thick thumbs up our new school curriculum which has crowded out the study of chinese history and chinese culture and a lot of them have been brainwashed into believing that only western values are the universal core values and they have forgotten the need for respect and tolerance for views which are different of their own that's why in the past 100 days or more they had been fights between different groups of citizens would is the class dimension to the protests because i understand that though 1300000 people are trapped in poverty in hong kong and we seldom hear about that of course in the western major nation mainstream media which is the relation between poverty demonstrators perhaps for china and demonstrators pro-

soldiers are on german soil can you understand why people in britain want to leave the european union if. not only do they know germany is filled with tens of thousands of soldiers from the united states the european union does things like recognize u.s. backed presidents in venezuela congealing to see why the people of britain want to leave this european union i mean of course there is criticize critics. about the european union the treaty of the european union the lisbon treaty and the policy it's very. unsocial it's a military state and it's near liberal policies but i think the decision on bret's it is a decision of the british people and i am really. preferring to stay back to advise or to say to british people what they should do or what they don't see jeremy corbyn the leader of western europe's largest socialist movement half a 1000000 members in britain. he's the favorite to win the next to become the next prime minister the link has been wiped out in germany while the policy is delinquent or popular here but certainly the policies are shared with corbin many of them where th

david miliband was britain's foreign secretary. he's now the president and the ceo of the international rescue community. and zanny minton bedaow is the editor of the economist. so is this proceeding how boris johnson wants, he's forcing an election between him and a very unpopular labor leader, jeremy corbyn. or has this all exploded in his face? >> i think there's a bit of both. i think some of this is where he was trying to get to, but a lot has exploded in his face. and i think it's become increasingly clear that he was not really serious about trying to get a deal with the european union. crashing out was something he had said a couple of months ago was a million-to-one chance, but it became increasingly clear, particularly over the last ten years, that that was actually what he was planning to do. i think what he didn't bank on when he announced that parliament would be prorogued, to use the jargon, but effectively suspended, that a band of tory mps and ex-ministers, now become known as the rebel force, were determined to sto

mr speaker, throughout our history, britain has a lwa ys throughout our history, britain has always beenwe are open, global and outward —looking, trading with the world beyond our shores has always been key to britain's economic prosperity. and as we seize the opportunities of brexit, we can establish new partnerships and trade relationships across the globe. for too long, we've let there was trading relationships with. and as my right honourable friend the trade secretary would be the first to acknowledge, this is a disgrace. so, today, we invest in securing britain's influence in the world, we support diplomacy, with £90 million of funding support diplomacy, with £90 million offunding and support diplomacy, with £90 million of funding and 1000 new diplomats and overseas staff and 14 new, upgraded diplomatic posts. we will post trade with £60 million to extend the campaign for next year. and if you are in any doubt about britain's important role on the world stage, just look at the bonanza of international festivals and events that i am funding today. in december, we will welcome the na

who'd be there for britain if a snap election comes first?, or a re—elected tory with a new mandate, wanting a better deal or to leave without one? if there's no election, well, there's still no clear sign of eu leaders like president macron of france or angela merkel of germany dropping their demand that the eu single market must be protected, as they see it, after brexit. the prime minister's been described as bringing new focus, new determination to brexit. hard to disagree with that. though he's also accelerated britain's journey towards new risks — critics say new dangers — and whatever happens, towards political splits and public recriminations of a kind that no—one has seen before. so what's been the reaction in europe to the events at westminster? our europe editor, katya adler is in brussels. i've been speaking to eu diplomats tonight, i mean, the reaction to the government being defeated, this idea of banning a no—deal brexit is sort of bittersweet for the eu, because you can't really ban a no—deal brexit. the only way to avoid a no

does britain have reason to be proud about itself well i think britain has been playing a leadership role on action on climate change since the year 2000 and believe it's fair to say without britain's actions the paris agreement in 2015 wouldn't have happened just to back that up. i was chief scientific adviser with blair from 2000 for 8 years and subsequently i was brought back into government by cameron during the coalition government period i was given 165 climate it had been embassies around the world know the country had full time time to test these a climate always in a different diplomatic outposts is going to spread the best literally around the world but we could move them around so i signed 3 agreements with china for example and we move 22 climate attaches into our embassy in china and the like are they talk to good china is in the middle of expanding one of the biggest environmental programs in world history but they don't look upon you as being to any blair favors for the iraq war all the rest of it not in the saloon for not environmental disaster my reputation in china

you know which is a bigger threat to the population when you look at what happens in britain an example legrand fall or say the number of people have died because of austerity over 130000 people a last number of years according to a recent report and then you look at the mobilization of outrage and resource and energy against a threat like there isn't much is not even an infant this emote percentage of the actual threat to people's lives and conditions right here that are causing deaths like happen in granville then you can see how traumatic that is for people who are affected by it because they perceive themselves as not being cared about and as being not seen as valid human beings and that's the most painful experience is not to be seen and not to be validated and not to be supported and so it wasn't just a disaster in its own terms which was bad enough it was a disaster in terms of the. enormity of warning signs and the absolutely heartless response of the government after it happened. it's interesting you immediately mention says you can only get indicate is this program was attacke

and the bitch and he says democratic convictions are more deeply rooted in the political system of britain than some populists seem to believe and it's a pleasure to welcome john worse he is an e.u. citizen with a. a passport to this in berlin he's a blogger political advisor and a member of the green party he says boris johnson is turning the conservative party into the record that party but this week has shown that it's a dangerous game. so let me start out by asking you alex you say that boris johnson appears to have lost control but appearances can be deceiving how does he actually perhaps overplayed his hand or could it be that he is playing into the hands of his opponents and could he wind up winning the end game alternately well i think we can write him off and and this is my point particularly because he has some very strong characters behind him who are very good at that done she we say so we can't write him off at the moment it looks like those who are opposing a no deal breck's it including those who want to remain in the e.u. are winning the game they've always lee done very we

most of the big decisions about britain are made in britain. they're not made in brussels, on our health care system, our education system, how we put our tax up, how we reform our law, they're all decisions made in britain. the brexit system is part of this populist movement across the western world where in the face of big chamllenges, people look for someone to blame. they look to ride the anger, not provide the answer. and that's the problem. >> stay with us. next on "gps," i will ask tony blair about populism around the world. has populism seen its peak? ♪ you want a fresh-smelling home, but some air fresheners use heavy, overwhelming scents. introducing febreze one; a new range of innovative air fresheners with no heavy perfumes that you can feel good about using in your home to deliver a light, natural-smelling freshness. febreze one neutralizes stale, stuffy odors and releases a subtle hint of fragrance like bamboo or lemongrass ginger. to eliminate odors with no heavy perfumes, try new febreze one. brand power. helping you buy better.

no i think on the contrary he he admired britain in many ways he seemed to enjoy spending time in britain up until the late ninety's when relations soured beyond repair and really after the the line seizures began in in the 2000 britain was a convenient bogeyman for him he was he was constantly talking to the supposed that threat of a return to colonial rule over british invasion which was for him a convenient way of dividing people of justifying his land seizures and distracting the population from from what was going on yeah let's talk a bit more now about his economic legacy then as in bob he was once known of course as a breadbasket of africa reforms have been undertaken by the current president emerson one god but the country still suffering from inflation do you think zimbabwe can recover from its political and economic goals what is it going to take basically for zimbabwe to recover economically i think if you look at the current economic situation it's the worst that it has been in in several years and some people are even expressing the star from the car but really the current si

no wonder britain voted to quit the eu, the express says, and attacks the luxembourg prime minister's speech, describing it as a stage—managed anti brexit rant. luxembourg laughs in johnson's a stage—managed anti brexit rant. luxembourg laughs injohnson's face. the daily telegraph writes, describing the visit to the luxembourg prime minister is an ambush. the guardian says boris johnson was left humiliated and says his claims of progress in the brexit negotiations lie in tatters. in the time says boris was ambushed at the conference in an extraordinary break with protocol. its cover pictures from the clothing design house burberry‘s show on the closing day of london fashion week. well, let's go to this, it is the picture story of the day, this picture of the luxembourg prime minister gesturing to the empty podium is on the front page of four orfive to the empty podium is on the front page of four or five papers. he is empty podium inking. a very new word. i'm sure the whole of europe is using it. now satan says you are cursed to live in interesting times and every day you think there

all the bishops are back in britain. so if you're a pennsylvanian and want to be a minister in the church of england, you have to go all the way back across the ocean, an expensive and dangerous trip for the laying on of hands. or your clergymen have to be englishmen and scotsmen sent over here. be a lot easier to have an anglican bishop right here in the colonies.and so a lot of thn america start asking for one. you think, who cares, right? if you are a presbyterian or congregationalist or an anything, why do you care how easy it is for the anglicans to get clergymen? but, remember, the church of england is part of the government. the bishops sit in the house of lords. they're basically politicians, not religious people, in your mind. every new anglican minister is another piece of patronage to be used to corrupt the people who should be defending public liberty but instead are at westminster looking out for what they can get for themselves. so you want to expand the power of the church of england in america, this looks

those as it's almost certain and why do you think britain has immediately reacted by sending in royal marines let alone the united states ending a 1000 troops to the persian gulf as you know this week is very crucial in the u.k. domestic policy because they are going to select the prime ministers to some of the issues that or raised here or out of some domestic policy considerations but we as a said we are fully ready to look at the evidences that are provided by the us or by the u.k. and the i'm sure that when we would sit together and consider it very professionally it would be very clear that they are not evidence is the or just analysis and maybe some political considerations ok well aside from the british political leadership crisis which. is evident when this was supposed to be taking place and it was a japanese vessel because there appears to be contradictions from the japanese. or the c.e.o. of one of the owners saying they were flying objects i understand that the prime minister of japan was in tehran at the same time which hasn't perhaps given that much publicity so the alle

one of the biggest obstacles preventing a deal between britain and the e.u. is the irish backstop the so-called insurance policy to keep open border between northern ireland and the irish republic the government has promised new proposals where are there well i think they're already out there alternative arrangements have been discussed for over 12 months a trust a trade a scheme for regular trade it's a very actually a relatively small amount of trade that goes across the board about turn of 1000000000 pounds a year but only exemption exemptions for small traders. and checks away from the border but always 21st the prime minister said in berlin standing beside bangalore merkel you rightly say the onus is on us to produce those solutions he hasn't produced any since then why not well i think to an extent the irish border issue is a is a conflated issue in my view. before the irish border became a stick with which to beat the the u.k. government during these negotiations were going there was a reason i just where there was where the proposals are all the propo
