very britain. on on the lebanon. yes it's no secret that britain has been on that announces a regularly but the syrian conflict in general has affected heavily our economy actually prior to the syria crisis and 2010 our growth was close to 7 percent and starting from 2011 when the syria war started we started when the ending towards now we are near or. 0.5 percent so that is a clear causal effects between the syrian war and john a syrian conflict and the economic deterioration and lebanon as you know syria is our main across all towards the arab world most of our products were. exported through through syria to syria and through syria and the other dimension as the syrian refugee crisis which also has a major impact on. only been easy economy so what do you tell the foreign office here about the britain's continued desire to see the overthrow of bashar al assad in fact i understand that for isis suspects arrested in lebanon in the past week so there was a spillover as well of his name is groups would you tell the for

is he going to unify the whole of britain?t prime minister actually ruling the whole united kingdom or a part of the united kingdom? this is the biggest question which should be asked. about the american trade deal, i do not believe it will come free. we know how trump deals with his allies in canada, dealing with the eu, imposing trade sanctions against them, so we should not be that optimistic. i believe it could be extremely difficult to sign this deal, and also to sign the same deal with europe. definitely europe will suffer because of britain's exit. britain is the second biggest economy in europe. so i think it is a very ambiguous period. on that this dis—united kingdom point barry was making a moment ago, of course we saw the union flags flying at 11 o'clock on friday night but we also saw nicola sturgeon pledging to, first minister of scotland, pledging to end the union. how can borisjohnson head that off? he can for the moment try and store the scottish question, and she will try to ramp up the pressure, very organise

britain and europe between the united states and the e.u. that all doesn't mean that all of this a go if you will stop to be aggressive you know communist china conflicts with soviet union it didn't mean that. the world that actually you know most markets take us through this here because the european you are one of the breaks it is important in a very metaphorical sense it is a precedent that has been established here what is europe going to do is going to double down or is it going to have a post-mortem in trying to explain and understand why briggs it happened in the 1st place because once the precedent is set others can follow and actually develop a strategy looking at the british example of how to how to do it and do it right and probably do it with less pain and quicker is this something brussels was thinking about and if they not should they be go ahead. well shortly our written left the european union's there were officials in brussels who were speaking openly about you about the european union have ensued the full and indeed want e.

i think he should change his priorities, is he going to unify the whole of britain?o be not the last prime minister who actually ruling the whole united kingdom or part of it. this is the biggest question which should be asked, about the american trade deal, i do not believe it will come free. we are how donald trump deals with friends and allies in canada, how he is dealing with the eu, imposing sanctions so we should not be that optimistic. i believe it could be extremely difficult to sign this deal but it can also help to sign the same deal with europe. europe will suffer because britain is the second—biggest in europe. it is very ambiguous pleaded. bronwyn, on that disunited united kingdom point, we saw union flags flying at 11pm last night, but also saw nicola sturgeon pledging to end the union, how can borisjohnson head that off? he can for the moment try and store the scottish question and she will try to ramp up the pressure, very organised and noisy, scottish parliament elections next year and a third party the snp are successful she is really going to try a

well now that britain has left the u.s. in unions the hard work begins because last time the one happens next it's office opportunities to the u.k. for example for cool simply it's in c. league a nice primacy and for britain to construct a sensible and coherence immigration policy on the other hand there are challenges to the u.k. and one of those challenges for britain is to secure long term and funds hey just trade it was with countries around the world and there are question marks as to whether britain can secure and fantasia's trade deals with countries so for example when it comes to america there is some concern that yes brits and all will be able to secure a trade deal with america but just how at funds pages will actually do will be our markets and the 2 were the 2 words come to mind trojan horse that's what a lot of people are worried about is that they they say the u.k. will be johnson will be so keen to get a trade agreement with the united states that it may not be as advantageous as it should be and the true sp

britain as an advantage. it could happen to the i was about itm britain as an advantage.e i was about it. it was like i had family members in the same as that is? yes but it is this place do not worry about it. try not to baby it not exist to everyone else. this is a great opportunity. i did not want desire is to stop us from our goals. now we're back on track. serbia isn't much closer, we have much time to prepare, i am happy about this. you're playing at the top level we know it's going to be hired is not going to be a good and we have to fight for it. that is not mindset going into every game. everything is going to be a war. he once had to get. we are not the other ones i went back to get. we are excited that we going to go out with a plate with a passion that would play with. they opened their campaign against tamara. the preparation that could be a good time to play them. basically they went they are plan based on its missions here. it could all began to south korea on saturday. they are going to be loved great britain in that world and world rankings. if great brit

workers in britain and vice versa european union is pushing to ensure that e.u. citizens enjoy the greatest possible freedom of movement even after breaks it but they may have to fight to get what they want. 3.2000000 equal citizens are currently living and working in the u.k. and according to the withdrawal agreement they'll have residency rights for the rest of their lives the same applies to the 1200000 brits living in the e.u. states but there may be obstacles for new arrivals in the future after all ending freedom of movement was one of the main reasons why many brits supported that is there's a chance for other countries. mclucas this coming from about forced and this could actually present an opportunity for the european union and because if britain decides it no longer wants to invite over skilled workers then it's important for a country like germany to be an attractive option for them because we may very well be facing a shortage of workers in the coming years i would be more than what i would name and in the. among other countries germany is hoping it

that had been made only in order to get around it don't women and their family it is the density and britain at the expense of the truth fake media now is an issue that we should all face in order to discover that reality and what is it truly to go and not only in syria but everywhere in the word of course the director for samo which was nominated for an academy award didn't get it would deny that but then what happened to the u.k. mercenary founder of the white helmets or syrian civil defense his body was found it is stumble. and we should discuss serious matters not only if they can use that to reach you from istanbul and diploma the light helmets and to from people who are doubting syria and the syrian people it's true fake me go just as a terrorist out of town getting the sudan people with their weapons and with their arguments why doesn't western media come to syria and find out truly what's happening that are thousands of people who they couldn't they say they can't get into syria turkey apparently killed 51 syrian soldiers last week more soldiers on valentine's day what's your message

since 2015 and that's what oxfam says do you think britain and the united states they see yemen as a place to earn money from the killing more than to give aid to the people suffering the killing. we hope we hope that the. international there are going to see is this really the laws working on peace process. that will stop or see that witness to the laws employed in water it in a man i should i should actually say it was actually 770000000 pounds of aid from the british taxpayer to yemen and britain says actually the arms sales are good arms sales we have a good arm sales policy here in britain when we send weapons that are bombing your country. we hope we hope that they're go out and. buy out of this many bad of these. people for it to rebuild the amount because we need a lot of. a lot of money to let it be the county the valley and the county. i mean that helps fight it the question of the air or answer. to this and that's why we want them to all clear the fire and to be at the other and not tool. you know what and what if you don't expect to be going to yemen any time soon i hope

i think because with britain leaving the is britain going to become completely reorientated towards the anglosphere and become even closer to the united states it's been already or they're all reports obviously that boris johnson had a row with trump over huawei that are further reports that maybe the chinese will be invited to save our ridiculous expensive high speed rail way project because at least they will build it in 5 years or older than 25 years and so we're beginning to see even between the british and americans or certain divisions between our natural tendency to be politically aligned and the economic interests which are increasingly diverging and including not least the. you can only benefits of trade with china which we're china is not perceived as a threat to britain in the way that the united states sees around the pacific rim china is a threat to its traditional role in that whole region ok jonathan 30 seconds before we go to the break can they be that compromising middle europe when it comes to china and the united states go ahead. we're going to should certainly tr

voters but a choice with complex repercussions of the britain divisive campaigns decision day came on june 23rd 2016 polling showed the results would be close but tipped a narrow win for remain how wrong these polls turn out to be from a d.-w. studio in berlin my colleagues brant gulf and christopher spring day and all life support calls of the food that rule the e.u. sadly christopher has since passed away this is how we remember him and the historic night more than 46000000 people in the united kingdom have you know simple question do you want your country to remain in the european union holdings in a few hours time we'll know the answer 3 main is leading but of course you know at the moment we still have every have to take everything with a pinch of salt it seemed almost almost like we had a little sigh of relief from the commission and i thought i could hear it over here earlier today when those 1st opinion polls came over and actually compliment. any referendum where there was a yes or no question that will deliver so little clarity about what happens the next day is this one abo

reportedly backing greece's claim to the so-called elgood marbles brussels could try to push britain to return the nerve to breaks it the collection was originally part of the parthenon in the greek capital but they're currently on display in the british museum in london question is how do they get their grease claims that was stolen by lord elegant in the 19th century but the u.k. insists no they acquired them legally and they're not budging either. the you case position on the parthenon sculptures remains unchanged they are the legal responsibility of the british museum that is not up for discussion as part of our trade negotiations. cultural story when the earl and political social commentator and certainly discussed the links them between democracy and the importance of history. you can't go around the world nicking stuff and then just saying we're going to keep hold of it because it's really valuable and we want people to come and see it it just as awash now adays in a i hate saying it but in a relatively woke enlightened society people are asking for their stuff back and it's v

hundreds of millions of pounds of aid what do you make of the united states and britain saying no more aid to yemen. really this news it is shocking because there are now you know men in very bad need for assistance for arabs for god they're going to stand a community but anyway this is also it is a lot that much. when what's really become what should be there that they have from where they're going to this if they had appiah over but anyway i think also that is that is shocking when we when i have the out that. they let their. position they're not. the problem in the m. and. if and when they're cut off it's not that is really shocking. it is there for any citizen with a hearing like this of yours where you know the trump says because iran they're allied to the hutus that's why he can't give money that goes to poor women and children in hootie communities in yemen when you know that was the. misuse of. the air stop the united nation edges this if you will. it's one of their it's a part of their. efforts there. there is that many problems but anywhere so we are sticking above that my du

by 1915, britain had build 250 planes. in this era of the red baron and others, primitive airplanes often required that the pilot pack his own sidearm and use them for firing at his opponent. more often so the devices would be used for delivering oflosives in episodes tactical bombing. german pilots applied this new strategy to the bombing of england. over the course of the war, and the use of aircraft expanded remarkably, britain 55,000 planes, italy 20,000. the united states, 15,000. and germany, 48,000. the disagreement over using petroleum at sea helped to exacerbate existing conflicts leading up to the war. ironically the use of petroleum in the ships led to what jurgen called a stalemate. and the use of ships going to war with only one battle , primarily involving them. however, part of the explanation for this is the great chasm that separated britain's emerging petroleum powered shipping fleet from the entirely coal burning one of germany. it made little strategic sense for germany to confront the british navy. the
