mr speaker, it has recently come to our notice from statements made by a foreign office minister in thee, that it is the government's intention arbitrarily to extend that date by no less than three years to the end of 2023, in flagrant breach of what was agreed by this house. how, mr speaker, can this house seek your protection from the egregious slight of hand, now being proposed by the foreign office? i see this as a blatant deliberate and arrogant snob of this parliament. the business today included an amendment with the name of my right honourable friend and myself, which would notjust extend the public registers to the dependencies, but would have reiterated the point over the overseas territories. we were so angered by the action of the foreign office, that we wanted to reiterate the decision of parliament, which was passed unanimously by parliament last summer, we wanted to reiterate that in the amendment that we were proposing today. that opportunity to reiterate our determination has been removed from us as well. not only is tackling financial crime and money laundering essenti

the german foreign office says it has recently visited billy six in prison his parents continue to campaign for his freedom. but the first for the first talk in thirteen years there will be no german clubs in the champions league quarter final by munich. all crushed to english clubs in the round of sixteen it has raised questions about whether bundesliga clubs they have what it takes to compete. in twenty thirteen bar in munich and brasil dortmund faced off in an old german champions league final six years later not one bundesliga club will compete in the quarterfinals it's been a gradual decline and one which has many wondering if german clubs can remain competitive at the highest level. this need affectionally didn't achieve what i had in mind was certainly also off alt and all but above all it's due to liverpool who bucks the san attacked early and we weren't able to break free this is obvious this was that's why we didn't make it so we didn't deserve to win we'll finish for the incident. biron were surprising me to see us at home in their second leg clash against liverpool but they've w

was in supporting finance presumably foreign office not disinfecting things yes well again it's just hard to know with so much countervailing information and a lack of clarity as to what the role of the foreign office has been or hasn't been initiative i think is just an ordinary member of the public this is an alleged conspiracy of. media. think tanks precisely and we don't know what's been the role of the russian government what's been the role of our own government and most importantly the implication that there's been attempts to smear the leader of the majesty's opposition that should raise eyebrows everywhere so i'm just curious and perhaps again the end game isn't so much smearing one individual or a couple it's dividing the membership i think if there's anyone who should suffer the ire of the mainstream media is probably ed miliband for allowing a bunch of three pound members like me to get interested in politics and to start taking an interest in where this all goes as it's called when they go you're interested well yeah absolutely and it's certainly the idea that we co

former head of the foreign office between 2010 and 2015, thank you for your time. the uk authorities last year. the national crime agency says the rise to almost 7,000 cases was fuelled partly by so—called county lines gangs who force children and vulnerable adults to supply drugs. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw dug into the figures. a big rise in the number of children. from just over 2000 to just over 3000 in a year. the national crime agency believes this is primarily because they are seeing more cases where young people, some as young as 11 or 12, are being groomed by gangs, coerced by gangs, into delivering drugs for them. going from big cities to rural towns to coastal towns. they're taking heroin and cocaine and, in some cases, vulnerable adults are seeing their homes used in these towns as the basis for these 00:53:14,1000 --> 00:53:17,475 drug supply operations. clearly, we don't know whether there is a genuine increase in all these cases of trafficking and modern slavery or if it is simply because there is more awareness of the problem and abil

to check this and they requested also the the listener the reply from the foreign office so basically i believe that that kind of statement in the newspaper was part of the very serious and to russian complain where most of the diplomats which are working in the embassy they are spies so this is some kind of a witch hunt and now today. we're just facing. something which is really. unacceptable and i remember you know the famous the famous concept of boris johnson which introduced the six years ago about the death carrot when you have something wrong you know on the negotiations that's exactly what boris johnson said you were you have to throw the dead get to the table and then everybody was going to talk about the dead cat so basically it looks like the souls agree you know the story about the embassy about me it looks like i did that scared story where you know certain stories were put to the table you know to to divert their attention from the results of the investigations which is different differently definitely is classified yeah i'm a final question i think it directly relates t

the foreign office minister mark field, who had a busy day after the resignation of his colleague.onservative peer has said that the conclusion of the word "empire" makes some people from black and ethnic minority communities reluctant to accept an award. in 1917 the introduction of a system to recognise your service to a country that included the word empire was appropriate, but it is not so today. many people often from the black and ethnic minority refuse to accept or even apply on behalf of others for this reason. can the minister outline the consideration can be given at the introduction of an additional honour, to the existing system, that doesn't include the word empire so that all parties can be satisfied and those who have a conscience and objection, for good reason, can accept and honour that might be the order of british excellence, keeping the same electives, but to the existing system can be respected as well? hear, hear. i agree with my noble friend, that we should do more to ensure that those from ethnic minority communities who have made a significant contribution t

there is a groupthink, there is a bubble in the senior civil service, but particularly in the foreign officeurely, again, in governance terms, that is problematic. why do you think that? why do i think that there is this preponderance of one view? because people like sir simon fraser, who succeeded you as boss of the fco, in civil service terms says it's no secret that most people in the british foreign policy establishment favoured staying in the european union. well, favoured. but now, if you're in the civil service, and the reason for my question for you is because if you're in the civil service, i have complete confidence that they'll be doing a professional job to deliver the instructions of ministers. i would have done if i had been a civil servant. simon fraser would have done, john sawers would have done. and 0lly robbins, who is a senior civil servant, who has been involved in much of the negotiations with michel barnier in brussels, is seen by those who support brexit, politicians as opposed to civil servants, as a man who brought his own beliefs and commitments and thoughts about

one of the brexit, doesn't worry that the foreign office in particular, which was your home for so longn's interest, is wrongheaded, misguided and shouldn't happen? it seems to me there is a groupthink, there is a bubble in the senior civil service, but particularly in the foreign office, which is not representative of the country as a whole, and surely, again, in governance terms, thatis surely, again, in governance terms, that is problematic? why do you think that? why do i think that there is this preponderance of one view? because people like sir simon fraser who succeeded you as boss of the fco in civil service terms says it is in the dollar no secret that most people in the british foreign policy establishment favoured staying in the european union. well, favoured, but now, if you are in the civil service, and the reason for my question for you is because if you are in the civil service, i have com plete are in the civil service, i have complete confidence that they will be doing a professionaljob to deliver the instructions of ministers. i would deliver the instructions of minist

woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who's injail in tehran, was granted diplomatic protection by the foreign offices zaghari—ratcliffe was convicted three years ago of spying, a charge she denies. her husband has said that giving her diplomatic protection could now lead to a resolution of her case "within months". caroline hawley reports. it's close to three years since nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was arrested at tehran airport as she was leaving for home with her young daughter. you can see the shock on her face. last summer, she was briefly released. only to be sent back to jail despite urgent pleas from the uk government and her family. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, seen here with her daughter gabriella just before she was jailed, needs medical treatment that she's not been allowed. the foreign secretary, who was in iran last year to push for her release, says his decision today was a last resort. we think it's the first time diplomatic protection has been exercised for an individual for over 100 years, and for that reason we think it sends a very, very strong signal that there is a human being here.

any response yet from the government from the home office of the foreign 0ffice? from the home office of the foreign office? before the news was com pletely office? before the news was completely confirmed, it was put to the home secretary in a radio interview and he just said that... he said that it is advised not to go to syria. the problem for the government is that ofjournalists have been able to go out to see shamima begum before the baby died. british forces are fighting alongside kurdish forces in northern syria. it would have been possible for someone to go and get the baby. it would have been possible, difficult, but possible. now, of course, it is not. thanks for joining us. the pilot, who crashed during the shoreham airshow, killing 11 men , has been found not guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. andrew hill, who's 5a, had been performing a loop when his vintage hawker hunterjet crashed on to the a27 in west sussex four years ago and then exploded into a fireball. incredibly the former raf pilot was thrown clear of the wreckage and survived. it wa

ability to help, the ability of the british state to help, to send in any officials, whether foreign office and that is why the foreign office has been very clear, ever since 2011, that no british citizens should travel to syria underany citizens should travel to syria under any circumstances, because it is incredibly dangerous. and that is the view, also taken by almost every other liberal democracy, when it comes to the children from their own countries, their own citizens when it comes to syria. the honourable lady suggested that, when it comes to the citizenship deprivations that somehow the government is making people stateless, she quite rightly stated that that would be illegal, it would be illegal under international law, so that means that no such decision can be made, whether by this home secretary, by my predecessors, by previous labour home secretary is, no decision under international law can be made unless the home secretary is satisfied, based on expert advice, that that individual will not be left stateless. mr speaker, the death of any british child, even those children bor

it gives the foreign office and government lawyers lots more tools they can use to try to resolve thedoes not recognise dual nationals and the iranian ambassador to london has already said today that this contravenes international law. despite the public reaction, will this bring some serious pressure to bear on this bring some serious pressure to bearon iran? this bring some serious pressure to bear on iran? in the next few days, iam sure bear on iran? in the next few days, i am sure there will be a lot of people getting hot and bothered about what happens. after that, the quiet diplomatic legal negotiations will begin. this will open a formal channel of negotiation between the british and iranian government and it will escalate through certain steps, much of which will happen behind closed doors, eventually leading to a formal negotiation. it gives them additional abilities to see what can be done to resolve the situation. you mentioned a second ago that this is also important, giving nazanin a psychological boost. how is she doing as far as you are aware? i think it is very difficu

i think there's brexit i think there's taking out of the foreign office of the department for international trade and dag a breck it department i think there have been cuts to our budget, and then, frankly, i think having boris johnson as foreign secretary has been a problem as well in terms of our standing i agree with you i think that actually we are in quite a good position in that we are on the security council and have enormous power. we have a great deal of understanding and intelligence about the world. the foreign office is a brains trust. we could use that. i think the world misses us. i think we should take our place back i think that we should be a little less arrogant, but a bit more confident in what we could do multi-laterally working with other countries. i'm concerned about the way in which multi-lateralism seems to be being undermined at the moment and part of that will is that we seem to be drag u drawing back and just talking about brexit, just thinking about brexit, putting all the energy into that >> and coming up on the show, find out why a new report sees massive oppo

we discussed with the foreign office what we thought might happen. oned the iranian ambassador back in january, the reaction summoned the iranian ambassador back injanuary, the reaction was hostile, initially, and there were state m e nts hostile, initially, and there were statements to say, listen, she is an iranian citizen, you have no right. so we were kind of expecting to see what happens next from the iranian side. the iranian ambassador tweeted overnight to say she is an iranian citizen and the uk has no rights under iranian law. that is not actually true, but we were expecting some rhetorical pushback. but then hopefully there will be an attempt to try to solve this. might this new legal status for her get her better access to medical treatment, for example? the letter that went to the iranian embassy, what that was asking them was firstly that the ambassador now be allowed to visit, because he hasn‘t in three years. secondly that an independent doctor can go in and assess that she is ok. of course, we have been battling for a long time, the fo
