the u. k. should get rid of its colonial mindset. that's the message from china's foreign ministry, which lashed out at london's recent report, criticizing beijing policy on hong kong. so no regular hong kong has long been returned to china and hong kong affairs are purely the internal affairs of china, which allow no room for foreign interference. we urge the u. k. to recognize reality, trends let go of its colonial mindset and respect china sovereignty and unity. the u. k. government report, claim freedoms are being eroded by the chinese government in hong kong, alleging authorities systematically crackdown on free speech. hong kong was handed over to china by the u. k. back in 1997. the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy and freedom of speech under the principle of one country to systems than in 2020 vision. impose a national security law to punish terrorism treason and the burden which has been met with criticism from the west. with that in mind, human rights watch is now soundi

the u. k. government report claims. freedoms are being eroded by the chinese government in hong kong, alleging authorities systematically cracked down on free speech. hong kong was handed over to china by the u. k. back in 1997. the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy and freedom of speech under a principle of one country to systems than in 2020 beijing imposed a national security law to punish terrorism treason and the virgin, which has been met with criticism from the west. with that in mind, human rights watch is now sounding the alarm over violations in the u. k. itself. in 2022, we saw the most significant assault on human rights protections in the u. k. in decades. from your right to protest, dear ability to hold institutions, accountable, fundamental and hard when right? so being systematically dismantled the report highlighted several new laws introduced in 2022 that weekend human rights protections in the u. k. for example, some measure stripped the rights of asylum seekers

but the u. k. government is in danger of engaging and hypocrisy by failing to investigate crimes perpetrated by british soldiers properly. other experts have pointed to the reset you k weapon sales to saudi arabia responsible for civilian deaths in yemen. as more evidence of why the u. k. isn't fit for this particular lobbying task, the u. k. demanding that the i c c target. russia also comes at the same time as a new report has just come out in the western process, detailing the e, 3 british military combat deployments all over the globe since the end of the 2nd world war. so you have to wonder by what moral authority or tone deafness buquet figures. it's in any position to demand accountability from any other country when it's gone out of its way to dodge it for its own sorted, very long track record. and it's kind of like the guy who's car, glove vox, is spilling over with speeding fines and traffic violations deciding to get really vocal and start lobbying in favor of better road safety. and t

and in the u. k. now this morning, figures, as you said, i'm show that you can call it back in january, especially the service sector under performing this contract. so it's been a little bit of a mix back in terms of economic news. we have consumer confidence picking up from the low bay, but it is a little bit too early to tell whether the u. k. will be able to turn the corner whether the u. k. would be able to escape recession. and i think our base case scenario are kind of central forecast for the k quantum is that it still will enter recession and the 1st half of 2023. okay? tiny out from the center for economics and businesses search. thank you very much for joining us. on day it'll be a business. thank you. now the german government says they want to create more green jobs in africa. it's a key part of the country's new development strategy for the continent announced on tuesday. berlin is looking to african governments and its own biggest businesses to help make that a reality. businesses like

what other problems has breaks it, delta u. k companies. it's mostly those companies who export in the u that have really felt a big blow. they really hit hard by breaks it and it's what's called non tariff barriers. so it's all the bureaucracy, all the extra red tape. and that the brakes it is ironically wants to get rid of. but that enables small, particularly small companies to export to the you seamlessly like they would export to any other place within the u. k. and this has now all stopped. so this is mostly a problem for small companies. big companies are able to somehow absorb the acura bureaucracy. they've got the legal departments, they've got the accountants, but small companies for them, it's really, really been difficult and some had to stop for trading with the you altogether. so with all these terrors and this red tape now in existence, how have these companies adjusted if sally typical are what asked and chemicals, the company you saw in the report have done, they had to open up an e u hub. so that's what i've had and read fr

or is, are feeling in the u. k. that is struggling a little bit more than its neighbors over in europe. yeah, i think for the past months it's always been a little bit neck on neck. we've seen a little bit of a recovery towards the end of last year, both in the eurozone and in the u. k. now, this morning's figures, as you said, i'm show that to you. i was calling back in january and especially the services sector under performing this does contrast, so it's been a little bit of a mixed bag in terms of economic news, we had consumer confidence picking up from a low base. but it is a little bit too early to tell whether the u. k. will be able to turn the corner whether the u. k. will be able to escape recession. and i think our base case scenario, we're kind of central forecast for the economy. is it still will enter recession and the 1st half of 20? $23.00. ok tie out from the center for economics on business research. thank you very much for joining us on databases. thank you. now the german government says they wan

yes, it wasn't just scotlands oil. scotland was part of the u. k. it's the entire u. case oil. if, if there was a separation from the u. k, in my view of their wood and there was still a lot of revenue to be had from oil. when, when the energy there would have to be a huge negotiation and if you think how much trouble it was to sort out breaks it. oh, yeah, that, that sort of a negotiation would be massive. so they hope to convince undecided voters with their arguments and presentations. newsletters and on social media. i think where i come in is trying to important god between the harsh realities of my speaking a vote. our population is age and quicker than the rest of the u. k. and this puts an enormous, again, additional stream on public funding. so it is almost inconceivable to come up with a feasible plan or a feasible plan that doesn't entail enormous sacrifice in the early decades of independence in scotland. that's never the case. they know they can't sell it. if they see it's going to be hard. so they have to see it will not be on will be very easy. this will have to j

perfectly wrong actually for the u. k. to do that because the whole world including the u. k, is, is facing a lot of problems domestically many countries are, you know, having this difficulty in overcoming the economic troubles at the moment. so countries like the u. k. and china should actually work together to improve the economy in general, rather than accusing the other side. well, things that are totally groundless. think it's the chinese government was very swift in responding to this alleged accusation that this is not right to politicize a normal business trade. if you know the british government and the intelligence services in the u. k. should be a sophisticated enough to carry out the investigation of this case to find out what exactly has happened instead of just take a piece of news and then enlarge it. and to make it, you know, a big international incident. this is coakley wrong, are just about wrapping up our broadcast live from last. but this is our team to national and from all of us here. thank you for sharing your time with us here in the russian capital,

the u. k says it will provide tanks to keep is finding intensifies with the russian missiles which have hip infrastructure across ukraine. ah, and german play scuffle with climate protest is demanding plans for coal mine expansion to be scrapped. ah, ah, welcome to the program. we begin with anti government protest seen to new zia opposition lead rallies are underway in the capital demanding. the president stepped down over worsening economic crisis. the rallies have taking place on the 12 anniversary of the jasmine revolution. demonstrated have pushed through place barriers to get the main boulevard in the capital. major rallies in 2011 led to the ousting of former president, st. avadanian ali and spawns uprising the cross. the arab news is, physicians is a power grab by president. i say it has reversed political freedom, gained more than a decade ago for me on this story. let's bring in the lazy involvement, joins me from to news. hello, the elisia. it's just after 5 pm where you are. what's

the u. k. has described the execution of the british iranian national in tehran, as barbaric and cowardly ali reza act. barry, a former iranian defense ministry official, was convicted of spying for the you came in an audio recording. expiry said he was made to falsely confessed under torture. the u. k. has sanctioned to ron's prosecutor general after the execution. prime minister wishes snack said at barry's death won't go unchallenged while a run has summoned the u. k. ambassador, in response or so, sarah is in tehran with more on the impact of act. barry's hanging. i lose that there is execution is one of the highest level executions in the more than history of your on he was a prominent, well connected figure within the power structure in the company had close ties with top diplomats bureaucrats and read this and steve central institutions in the company also close graduate with alicia county, who is the secretary general of the national security council, a body that oversees the, the nucle

but plenty of u. k. put makers based themselves abroad in order to avoid paying tax that might actually help the people that they hub. ah, furthermore, many of the booking through advertise with english clubs don't actually operate in the country. looking at markets abroad. one of those is china. gambling is illegal, they're betting is part of the culture. and technology is allowing people to find a way around the law. back in the u. k. and legislation, it's slowly making a difference. but the gambling lobby is powerful and change. it's slow. really all of the countries, 9 to 2 clubs, sponsored by linked to gambling companies. currently 8 of the premier league, 20 clubs like gambling sponsors front and center many more on their sleeve on their training kit. but it goes much deeper than that. low down the pyramid, plenty of clubs reliant on gambling money. check out this clip of sunday winning the league one pile. finally, the sponsor skype. it almost every shot we could find. it's pretty much the same an

this is not just the u. k. problem. in the recent past, many of your biggest clubs of all gambling sponsors on the shirts. and some of these countries gambling advertising is starting to be phased out. spain has been shirts both the ship in italy, all advertising. gambling is banned. belgium in the netherlands following suit in germany, gambling sponsors on the fall of shirts become less common in recent years. but both turned to think champions fine music and the league itself. a betting firm typical as a partner, there's a similar deal in place in france that it's top place and not shy of promotion. the grip of the gambling firms is so strong that some club say they can't survive without their cash. but these clubs survived for decades of centuries without gambling money. isn't it just poor management, football clubs, failing on down the list of people, his job is to reduce gambling. i would say, i don't know if they have a responsibility to turn that money down. i think us with policies and regulators maybe to make t

the u. k. must close the loopholes that undermine support for ukraine by allowing bloody fossil fuels to continue flowing across our borders. you see india has been under constant pressure threats and motor judgments from the west for buying discounted russian oil. it would be interesting now to see what the u. k. federal response to what you cream has to see about their imports or, or in from india. europe struggles to diversify its energy sources. guitars, energy minister is confidence that the constant will resume buying, brushing just enough despite the unions pledge to win itself off. russian energy the europeans to day are saying, there is no way we're going back to rush and gas. we're all blast to have to be able to forget and to forgive. and i think things get mandate with time. they learn from that situation and probably have a much bigger diversity, but russian gas is going back in my view to europe. speaking at the global energy conference in doha, the could sorry minister warned tha

the u. k. i think the u. s. is probably the best example of where people will speculate on houses, you know, by 3 or 4 they can afford it against all about the you've got fundamental on the supply of housing and some markets, the u. k being an example. so these are confusing because you got a big on live housing and you've got the possible, hopefully flowing into now another confusing for the cause is the weakness of some currency. so for pounded, weak, and overseas buyers will find house prices more attractive, the domestic buyers. so you got quite a few, a few issues that are buying together to create some sort of view about whether you're going to get price falls or not. and generally speaking, house prices don't fall very quickly already when you've already speculative market . the u. s. is probably the best example. let's talk about the u. s. in particular, then it is. we set for house price correction in, in the us. is that going to cause for the damage to, to, to the economy the, i mean, let's not forget

and yet the u. k. rhetoric regarding china is always calling china a threat when china is one of the biggest, if not the biggest external investor in the u. k. nelson, what is the u. k. playing at what the agenda? i really don't know. this is why i think it's, it's important that we talk about this because you k and china are so far apart. job graph, geographically speaking, about 2 countries, both china and the u. k. our business partners. and we're all traders, basically the british big traders for hundreds of years and try and these are also good traders as well. so those 2 countries should actually come together and do some business together to, to trade. but in the meantime, why should you know, trying to be accused of such a thing? this is really upset. i'm not speaking on behalf of the chinese government, but i, i found this news a bit disturbing. it's quite disturbing. well, you can press is addressing it, but i mean, i would assume that they're quoting british intelligence. wow. they find a s

the u. k. condemns the execution of british iranian national convicted of spying in iran. ah, hello the opposition antonia has leg rallies, demanding. the president stepped down over a worsening echo the crisis. the protests are taking place on the 12th anniversary of the jasmine revolution. demonstrators pushed through police barriers to get to the main boulevard, and the capital major rallies in 2011, led to the say, a former president allowed to be benignly and sparse uprisings across the arab world. but now, soon as he has, all physicians has a power grab by president sizes high. it has reverse political freedom gained more than a decade ago. let's speak now to vote when joining us from tunis with an update on the protests. and these tell us what you've been seeing. ringback the main home, but what we're seeing there on the often use a lot of people are disgusting and wanted to make sure that they've been very busy and that the whole different was actually not seeing a lot of energy. ready

chris gillam lost everything to gambling, he takes part and walks across the u. k. maternity, the big step they aim to show the human cost gambling advertising. in most of us gambling out suggest a link, the focus on corners and yellow cards, or the skills and goals, and the sport into a market. just another way in which money winners for people at chris families. this is a matter of life and death. the guy from somebody is trying to play football, but somebody in the sister in law's house down there trying to weigh money, leaves their family with the plan. in my life, i lost my money that night everything i've found recovery that day, but it took me to the doctor place in the world. christy story is not the norm. neither is unusual like this from germany play on that sense of community. the football specializes in have a bet, no part of the action part of the tribe. part of the game industry has firmly embedded itself in english for plenty of u. k, but makers based themselves abroad in order to avoid paying tax that might actually help the people that they hub. ah

we urge the u. k. to recognize reality. trends let go of its colonial mindset and respect is china's sovereignty and unity. u k. government report claims. freedoms are being eroded by the chinese government in hong kong, alleging with ortiz, is systematically cracked down on free speech. forcing the closure of independent news outlets. hong kong was handed over to china by the u. k. back in 997, the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy and freedom of speech on the principle of one country to systems. then in 2020 beijing imposed a national security law to punish terrorism, treason, subversion, answer session, with possible life imprisonment. which has been met with criticism from the west. with that in mind. human rights watch is now sounding the alarm violations in the u . k. itself. in 2022, we saw the most significant assault on human rights protections in the u. k. in decades. from your right to protest, do your ability to hold institutions accountable fund, a mental and hard one rights of

this is such a hot topic in the u. k. it's a very divisive one, especially in politics with prominent voices on both sides. meaning that this has become a highly politicized topic. and in the past few years, the british government has really leaned into their anti trans culture war debate and a bit to really appeal to their more traditional conservative base. and we have to remember we haven't, you prime minister? well, britain has a new prime minister. m richie soon act is pretty weak. he's not very popular. and he's really got his neck on the line right now. and he really needs as many votes as possible in order to maintain his top position. so this move could be seen as a way for him to garner those votes from that traditional base at a time where he really needs it most. and very quickly that this topic is also beyond just the issue it's, it's scotland versus the wider great britain of course, and i think this move has really been seen as a denial of hollywood democratic rights to make its own laws. and i think that n

ah, the u. k is called the execution of a british iranian national into chron, callous and cowardly. and always her up body was convicted of spine for the u. k. charges he denied the execution came despite last minute appeals for clemency from britain and the united states. but his primary services. so that says he's appalled and act bodie's. death won't go unpunished. when i speak now to wrestle, sarah, who's life for us in teheran, russell, the u. k. obviously responding pretty quickly to this, but was also interesting about this case is that either this or act body was deeply connected to different parts of a runs defense networks. that's right, he was not the only echo in order the informant. she was a key figure in iran's establishment. he was a key figure among the politicians dare bureaucrats. and he had a, an exclusive access to sensitive information sensitive centers and in the iranian power structure. so he was the former, the fast minister with close ties with the security council in ir

while the u. k. economy is set to worse than raising interest rates makes borrowing in the us more expensive, but whether the world's largest economy can avoid a recession, remains an open question. and in the majority of low income countries, the risk of economic distress remains real, if not already a reality. while the baseline forecast is positive, the i m f warns there is still likely to be a slow down this year just not as extreme. and an escalation of the war in ukraine or another pandemic could turn the tide again. the in basra. v o to 0 on britain, is there any major enhanced economy, the ins projected to be in recession? under simmons has more in us now. and here in london, this forecast may come as no surprise to the city and its markets. but for the british people, it cast even more gloom on their mood. during this cost of living crisis, the i'm f says the u. k. economy isn't just bottom of the pile in the list of g 7 countries. it's worse than that. out of all the emerging markets and al
