our asia business correspondent nick marsh with more. johnson's in hong kong to do business.ttract investments in the uk. there's a focus primarily on financial services and financial technologies. now, the economic links between the home of europe's financial capital and asia's financial capital will, of course, they run deep. but there are some parallels more recently as well. both places, frankly speaking, have had a bit of a wobble recently. london, because of brexit and the uncertainty there, hong kong because of the political turmoil, the protests, and then more recently, the covid—i9 restrictions. so from an economic standpoint, this visit makes sense. hong kong finance officials were in london last month, doing similar meetings with uk ministers. but of course, it's the political backdrop to all of this that makes it so contentious. rewind three or four years. during the protests in 2019, britain was a vocal supporter of the demonstrators. it was highly critical of china, its crackdown, the national security law then jump forwards here in 2023, and it's back in hong k

lord johnson said the uk would continue to highlight violations of freedom in hong kong by china. but he said the government had an obligation to engage constructively. nickain was ducking its historical responsibilities to the people of hong kong. he said britain would continue to call china out and be robust when it came to violations of freedoms in the city. but ultimately that is not why he is there. he is there to do business. he wants to attract investment in the uk, particularly in the areas of financial services, financial technologies, and the same goes for vice versa, by the way. hong kong finance officials were in london last month trying to do the same thing. but really itjust shows how much i've changed in the past three orfour years. during the 2019 protests in hong kong, britain was very vocal in its support of the demonstrators. it was critical of the crackdown, of the national security law. there was even talk of sanctions being put in place. but in the end it really was just talk, and since then that tension has kind of fizzled out. the uk government position has softened considerably. it was only a couple of weeks ago that the foreign s

during johnson east amplewood for more on the grind deal, the deputy is nick connelly. keith explained to us why grand exports are an economic lifeline fee crime. and how the boy is impacting global grind shipments. it's quite 1st as yes this is chris. are you crazy calling, but i think it's almost as crucial to consumers around the world to really so prices skyrocket last year as those ukraine exports ground to a halt. you had seen last year, a farmer sitting on mountains of grain. they just couldn't get out of the country, no cash coming in, unable to buy fertilizers to so unprepared in new crow. this is crow. then you had shoes. choose the blackboard as people trying desperately to get it out by truck or by the river port. and none of those were really big enough. we'll have to kind of shape or anything that like the kind of capacity needed. now, yes, this is working, but it's nowhere near business. as usual, the russians keep using all the numbers. they have to try and delay these shipments . it's still much more complicated and expensive than it was before the war.

nick, take us through this. well tonight boris johnsonith the cabinet office and at war with the cabinet office and at war with the government headed by the man he regards as his nemesis, that is rishi sunak. he gave a flavour of the strength of feeling in the last few hours, this statement from boris johnson's office and it says it appears some within government have decided to make unfounded suggestions both to the police and the privileges committee and as you said, many will conclude that this has all the hallmarks of yet another politically motivated stitch up. i understand that borisjohnson is even considering suing the cabinet office. this is because his legal advice states that these events were lawful and his lawyers have told the cabinet office and the police that is theirjudgment. there is a suggestion that the cabinet office appears to have suggested in writing that the events were unlawful and if it can be proved the cabinet office said that i think you may well be finding that borisjohnson will be considering all his legal o

johnson the investigation is ridiculous. maybe borisjohnson should take a leak out of rebekah vardy�*s book and throw his phone into the sea. nickraq, for example? yeah, you can go even further beyond that, i about iraq, for example? yeah, you can go even further beyond that, if| can go even further beyond that, if you want to. you can also see, as well, transcripts of telephone calls between ministers. in the modern day, on the 20 20s, what is new, is this government by whatsapp, if you like, because that's where technology has got to. baroness hallett, the independent chair, appointed by the government, by the way, is making the point that two types of documents are relevant to her inquiry, and the government should hand them over, firstly so families up and down the country, thousands of families who lost people in the pandemic and get to the cheese, but secondly, because we need to learn lessons from this for health emergencies in the future. i think that's really misleading, they are rejecting things that solicitors think— are rejecting things that solicitors think have absolutely nothing to do with the _ think have absolut

nick? me explain how this got to the police, there are government lawyers who are going through documents to get submissions ready for the covid public inquiry, looking into boris johnson'sn, and i am told there was lawyers saw something they were not happy with, they were concerned about, so they passed it on to civil servants in the cabinet office, who discussed what to do and decided to send it to the police. chatting to people in government this morning, they are at pains to say that no ministers were involved in this, this wasn't a political decision, it wasn't something that ministers were signing off, so they are refuting that idea from boris johnson's team that this could be some sort of political stitch up. but where we are this morning is that some of these documents have been sent by the cabinet office to the met and thames valley police, thames valley cover chequers, the big country mansion that prime ministers get to use, and they are assessing that to decide what to do next. ~ ., ., assessing that to decide what to do next. ~ ., . next. who did he meet and greet? do we now? don't— next. who did he meet and greet? do we now? don't know _ next. who did he mee
