i think the taiwan minister of defence i you think this is?fence was speaking to his legislators and he was stumping for increases in defence spending from taiwan, so i think you have to see it in that context as well, trying to instill a sense of urgency and the necessity and important, so he may be correct in his assessment that this is the worst that he has seen it in a0 years, but i think there is some issues that we can also consider that, as you pointed out, they haven't been entering taiwan's essbase, the air force fighter pilots and bomber pilots have been at relatively professionally. we don't hear any reports of the taiwan side or the chinese side coming into contact, so the risk of an incident or an accident creating an escalatory cycle i think is still very manageable so that is the good thing. but this is clearly part of a political warfare campaign on the part of china to pressure on the people of taiwan and its leadership, and that also needs to be seen as part of a very comprehensive that includes diplomatic and economic as wel

in fact this forms a key part of his defence.ny time, it could go to spain where several towns said that they would except the migrants. but ngo's said that those boats were in no condition to make the three dayjourney. other parts of salvini's defence is to claim that the government were fully on board with this policy in order to bring the eu back to the negotiating table. if the trials do go on endlessly is very normal for a trial to last ten years. in theory he could face up to 15 years in prison. italians tend to shrug their shoulders. they're very used to these political trials. salvini would get at least two appeals in the very unlikely event that the child goes that far. ——trial of course he would face the same punishment as any normal citizen. but a court earlier this year already decided, accepted salvini defence that the government was part of this policy to force the eu to the negotiation tables. so it seems very unlikely that this trial is going to end in salvini going to jail. turkey's president is withdrawing the d

his wall of defences falling down, atjust the point when vaccination is waning.his report, the government would refute that characterisation, but it's true that characterisation, but it's true that the rate of vaccinating children, the rate of boosters and waning immunity are all factors when we look at the rising case numbers. that's not social distancing and masks are relevant to. indoor socialising is pretty much at full tilt in the uk. scotland and wales have recently introduced vaccine passports for some larger venues, but in the rest of the uk, they are not needed. as for masks, in scotland, they are legally required in some circumstances. in england, the government does not require them, but some local authorities in england do on public transport. but in reality, that is patchy. go on the underground in london and you will see lots of people without masks. that contrast with, say, germany, where masks are legally required in some places, and use is high. and the labour party thinks there is a lesson there. i i high. and the labour party thinks there is a

when i go onto youtube and watch little extracts of witnesses being examined by prosecutors or by defenceounsel is almost cringe making. there is one guy in particular samuel reisman literally one of the only survivors of the extermination camps, gas chambers and you see the way in which he's examined and you think will, give this guy a break, he's literally been liberated a few weeks earlier and they are coming down on him like a tonne of bricks. it's disconcerting. and that's a change of values today it would be done differently. here's a quote from claudia hyde, she works for the holocaust memorial day trust and she spends a lot of time thinking about the contemporary resonances of nuremberg and she says this "justice cannot be secured without truth and for survivors the judgement at nuremberg were not the whole truth. no judgement is the whole truth and nuremberg was like any other tribunal in that sense. it's a partial truth, it's what the judges decide. for example, thejudges decided they couldn't look at anything that happened before 1939 because of the way the statute had been dra
