siddhas subversion terrorism or collusion with foreign elements of british foreign secretary dominic robb told parliament the u.k. wanted a positive relationship with china but beijing had to live up to the international obligations and responsibilities that come with it stature so i consulted with the home secretary the justice secretary and the attorney general and the government has decided to suspend the extradition treaty immediately and. i should also tell the house that we would not consider reactivating varies arrangements unless and until there are clear and robust safeguards which are able to prevent extradition from u.k. being misused under the new national security legislation. mr speaker there remains considerable uncertainty about the way in which the new national security law will be enforced. i would just say this the united kingdom is watching and the whole world is watching. so that's the british foreign secretary dominic drop so let's go to britain for more on this my next guest is a senior fellow at the university of nottingham asia research institute is also author of

to that meeting he'll be going on to meet the prime minister boris johnson and foreign minister dominic robb behind me at number 10 and what will be the agenda with prime minister johnson and foreign minister rob. well china will still be front and center of the agenda he'll be applauding boris johnson for his decision on why and also for yesterday's decision to end the extradition treaty with hong kong indefinitely it's a move that the u.s. is considering on the official agenda is the code economic recovery plan and no doubt they'll be discussing vaccine manufacture because the u.s. has just bought 300000000 doses of the vaccine being developed by the british drug maker astra zeneca for ported 1200000000 of the prime minister his going to want to talk about the u.s. u.k. free trade agreement negotiated but we're not really expecting a breakthrough because the formal talks and those aren't due until the end of the month and they've really tripped up over this issue of fluorinated chicken and hormone injected beef which are practices completely banned in this country but the u.s. is insisting

in istanbul a warm welcome to you all i want to start in london with david hague a lot of what dominic robb has said is quite good fodder for late night comedy t.v. shows they're not allowed to come to london and buy a property in the king's road and they're not allowed to you know do things like that however there is a serious question behind all of this to work these sanctions do need teeth they do need bite have they gone far enough. well i think. firstly it's a very welcome step what dominic brock absent on monday in the sanctions that the worst human rights abuses but quite rightly like you said unless they actually have teeth and they are consistently applied to all human rights abuses whether or not the u.k. has a good relationship with that country or the specific leader then they they really are going to be worth the paper they're written on and one of those those elements that we look at when you look at saudi we see that they've already mentioned 20 of those involved in the murder of democracy but they have conveniently avoided and widely believed to have been the person that the

accusing russian actors of trying to disrupt the last year's general election foreign secretary dominic robb has said this was done by illicitly acquiring sensitive documents about a planned free trade agreement with the united states and leaking them on social media russia says it will respond to what it calls the ukase unfriendly actions the f.b.i. has washington best again after several high profile twitter accounts were hijacked by scammers prominent figures including barack obama and joe biden were among those targeted to hackers sulfate tweets sent from the accounts attempting to do people into donating cryptocurrency. an important agreement on how people's online data is being shared between europe and the u.s. has been ruled illegal by the european court of justice privacy activists had argued that the accord was unlawful because it gives the u.s. government access to european citizens private data without their consent or. spain today recorded its highest daily increase in corona virus infections in almost 2 months 580 confirmed new cases and the news came as the country pause to re

foreign secretary dominic robb has concluded that perhaps the 2009 clean general election which his party one was not a simple and easy democratic process. the government has concluded that it is almost certain that russian actors sought to interfere in the 21000 general election through the online and political illicitly acquired in league government documents whilst there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian complain against the general election any attempt to interfere in our democratic processes is completely unacceptable. now this is of course the general election this will boris johnson quite literally and historically storm to victory largely because of his completely unequivocal stance as we heard that rob suggesting that the russian interference was done through online promoting a government document that related to u.s. u.k. trade potentially u.k. trade deal bret's it not some might remember these documents were leaked and posted online and they caused outrage when labor leader jeremy cool but he was later humiliated me defeated at the polls went out and he waved to me sai

somers will speak to us martin good to see you how convincing do you find this accusation from dominic robb that russia allegedly interfered in last year's election by leaking documents. well when the documents were leaked or stolen as they seem to be implying they were obviously of some interest in the election because of the question of whether there was going to be a deal on the national health service with the year the us but i see this as related to the russian bird document which they've been holding back about general interference in u.s. u.k. politics what's happened in the in the security committee is that the government wanted chris grayling the m.p. to take over this committee was definitely their their their protege but the committee rebelled him as a point to julian lewis who was another conservative to head the committee and because he frustrated the current government he's been expelled from the conservative party now what i suspect is in this document is the sorts of things that were said about the hacking of the democratic national committee servers in the run up to the ele

and blocking arms sales and response to beijing's new national security all foreign secretary dominic robb has described the measures as reasonable and proportionate last month china imposed a sweeping new legislation which outlaws what it considers secession subversion terrorism and collusion with foreign entities and particularly concerned about articles $55.00 to $59.00 of the law which give mainland china the chinese authorities the ability to assume jurisdiction over certain cases and to try these cases in mainland chinese courts. should also tell the house that we would not consider reactivating those arrangements unless and until there are clear and robust safeguards which are able to prevent extradition from the u.k. being misused under the new national security legislation now a new study is painting a bleak picture for the future of poda beds scientists predict that most of them could be wiped out within 80 years the study published in nature climate change looks a greenhouse gas emissions and the impact on sea ice now as it continues to melt polar bears are losing their hunting

the 2 men took a markedly different approach dominic robb with his diplomatic hat on talking about their shared security concerns talking about iran plans for the middle east. as you heard there really going into china talking about their crackdown on hong kong their treatment of the weaker muslims and their mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak saying it wants every nation to now work together to create a coalition. to push back against the china chinese communist party and he used that word communist party about 8 times wanting to build this coalition he also did thank the u.k. government for their decision to ban the chinese telecoms company huawei from building out this country's 5 g. infrastructure he called that a sovereign decision again using that word sovereign again and again possibly to dispel concerns here that the decision from boris johnson came after pressure from the united states earlier pompei or before meeting the prime minister and the foreign minister decided to meet 20 parliamentarian 2 don't hold positions in this government but what they have in common is that t

to get your thoughts on what the other aspect here because it's good to have you on the program dominic robb germany which a few days ago you may remember blame russia for hiking parliament there in 2015 your thoughts on the timing in particular here these stories essentially coming out almost at the same time. yes well i think the the intelligence services of britain you west germany and others help each other each other shoulder each other to to promote the ideas or to promote issues that would damage russia because they there are believers in a new sort of cold war just like nato is you know i've been a plant assists for many many years by youth i was an officer in the army and so it's very strange to see that it's coming back into the nature of obviously russia is the enemy because they have nothing in them or they have no warsaw pact against them and they don't know what to do so it's in all the intelligence services for nato for governments to say that russia is to blame for everything this is a playing i flick. how do you see this playing i'd say over the coming days and weeks i don't

congratulate the british government for its principles of sponsors to these challenges secretary dominic robb was keen to extol the special relationship with the u.k. it is really clear that we need to work with on american friends and also with other parties together in the international system to protect off freedoms and interests and stand up as we've shared i think of hong kong senate from violence with more influential we have more impact when we went together. only 5 years ago another conservative government rolled out the red carpet for president xi jinping his state visit heralded a golden era of economic ties a closer relationship than ever before but now those ties are badly frayed and china is growing increasingly angry. china urges the british side to abandon the illusion of continuing colonial influence in hong kong immediately correct its mistakes and stop interfering so as to avoid further damage to china britain relations the list of concerns over china's behavior is a crackdown on whole treatment of the weak muslims their handling of the current virus outbreak but there is in

blocking arms sales this is in response to beijing's new national security law foreign secretary dominic robb described the measures as reasonable and proportionate earlier this month china imposed a sweeping legislation which outlaws what it considers secession subversion terrorism and collusion with foreign forces leave barker is following developments from outside parliament in london not surprising that the u.k. chooses to acts funny even because of its long history with hong kong. yes a long history of course hong kong was a former british colony and britain has vested interests particularly the financial sector in hong kong so it's been watching very closely as what many view as being beijing's creeping an exception of hong kong over the years beijing doesn't see it like that it sees it as having a legitimate jurisdiction over hong kong but what the british government has done is hit back at beijing's new security law by making 3. pieces of legislation firstly to extend a ban on the sale of weapons that exist between the u.k. and mainland china to hong kong including equipment that coul

strong underlining of of those values which are being underpinned by the foreign secretary that dominic robb he 1st raised his course back in 2012 he has him self a human wrote rights lawyer background so this was something that he wanted to see put into place and of course with britain having x. to the e.u. with its transition period coming to the end at the end of the year this is the time when britain will have to strike out on his own and put in that kind of of legal framework in place in order to be able to if in its own words to parade itself as global britain and putting human rights at the center of that rather than any sort of strategic relationships that may have with countries such as saudi arabia have enormous problem with human rights abuses rob and of course this was something that was also highlighted a by a member of the opposing party you said that while this was praised it also really links into those ties that look a has with countries such as saudi arabia. and i welcome to his action against those involved in the appalling murder of jim how. i kind of gently say to him th

dominic robb made no bones about exactly what he wanted to come out of this law he put it in very strong terms indeed and it's almost a sort of personal project of his he'd have 1st raised this back in 2012 he is of course from human rights lawyer background as well he has consistently kept in contact with the widow of sergei magnitsky natale here and so for him it's got that personal touch with changing the british foreign policy perhaps from what has been criticized that it would be perhaps compromise in the aftermath of brics it to try and form strategic relationships with our eyes who perhaps have. huge. problems with human rights such as saudi arabia for example but this is trying to be put the human rights aspect front and center ahead of those strategic relations with which britain can now go forward with our lives fully leaves the transition period after brics it china's ambassador to the u.k. has lashed out at the british government's offer of potential citizenship to millions of people in hong kong usually means says the move amounts to gross interference in china's internal af
