as you know he's one of the oldest serving foreign ministers in underground europe, -- in mainland europe 13 years , more or less, something like that. since we're running out of time this morning i won't give a long introduction speech. please speak to us and if we have time we'll have a few questions at the end. [applause] >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. 10 years ago, president putin address this conference, and many back at the time in the west considered him to be a challenge, even a threat, though the main content of that message was we need to get away from unilateral actions and to get to equally footed cooperation based on international law and joint evaluation of international law and finding collective solutions. nevertheless, the expressed -- they expressed forewarnings regarding all the added attempts to thwart attempts to reinstate power in the world, and these forewarnings became truth. right now this historic stage which can be defined as post cold war has come to an end. the main outcome in our belief has become the failure to adapt of new solutions to the post-cold wa

unease in britain about president trump's visit is the more than matched by stark warning from mainland europelisted as key threats to europe assertive china, russia's aggressive policies towards neighbours and radical islam. he said the united states risked catastrophe in europe by weakening transatlantic ties. particularly, the change in washington puts the european union in a difficult situation, with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of american foreign policy. we should, today, remind our american friends of their own message. "united we stand, divided we fall." all this anxiety seems to be fuelling protest against theresa may's early invitation to donald trump for a state visit, delivered personally only seven days after his inauguration. president obama only enjoyed the ultimate british accolade in his third year of office. no president has ever been asked so speedily, but the government says the invitation to donald trump stands, dismissing criticism from a former head of the foreign office and national security adviser. the petition against the stat

campaigners had hoped that more than 3000 youngsters, some of whom have already made their way to mainland europewould be accepted. answering an urgent question in the house of commons, the home secretary amber rudd described how the scheme had operated. within europe in 2016, we transferred over 900 unaccompanied asylum seeking children to the uk. this included more than 750 from france as part of the uk's support for the calais camp clearance. and i am proud that as home secretary the uk played such a key role in supporting the french to safely and compassionately close the camp. yesterday, the government announced that in accordance with section 67 of the immigration act, we will transfer the specified number of 350 children pursuant to that section who reasonably meet the intention and spirit behind the provision. she said the scheme was not being closed. the government has always been clear that we do not want to incentivise perilous journeys to europe, particularly by the most vulnerable children. that is why children must have arrived in europe before the 20th march 2016 to be eligible und

give that guarantee and says, well, our stance will depend on how our nationals are treated in mainland europeur expats, and i understand why theresa may said i would like those issues dealt with. or she tried to do, what the government did is go to brussels and say, why not have an early agreement and push out of their anguish and anxiety european national space in the uk and the eu and remember it was the eu who said we cannot get agreement amongst the other 27 for this. it was them who said it will have to wait until march. we tried to do the right thing. do you think some brexit backers, voters in towns like boston and lincolnshire, who have consistently, according to the polls and anecdotal evidence, said that their town feels as though they have lost their culture and identity because so many east european farm workers are living in that town, do you think they will feel disappointed, let down, if you are saying to them, actually the status quo as it exists in boston and lincolnshire will have to remain? certainly not with me or any of the people in the vote leave campaign, because we al

trump has met britain and then, of course, negatively about europe, similarly might he talk positively with japan and isolate china, as a mainlandmics be good for america? feng shui consultant joey yap says it could be. he has predicted a showdown between the east and the west in 2017, with china and the us taking centre—stage. we asked him to forecast how this could affect donald trump's relations with other world leaders, in the year of the fire rooster. donald trump was born in 19a6, the year of the fire dog. in the year 2017, the year of the fire rooster, donald trump goes through a very unique formation known as a "harm". now, a harm normally indicates damage in reputation. but we already know that, since his inauguration. however, the fire rooster actually is beneficial to mr trump's chart, so expect positive changes to the country that he represents. the president of china, mr xi, is born in the year of the water snake. snakes in 2017 do not have any positive stars. now, this is not such a good thing for him to face the infamous twice—a—decade public conference this year. this also indicates hasty decision making, so for
