and what we've also agreed is that from now on german and u. k. cabinets will meet every year to discuss shadow issues. and the 1st arrangement of this kind of for the u. k, angular on behalf of the u. k. i want to thank you for your truly historic commitment. not just to the u. k. a germany relationship, but to global diplomacy. more generally. and i think over the last, yeah, 18 months in particular, your scientific expertise has been instrumental in guiding the global response to the pandemic. and as i the saying, i think a commitment to science and research is something our countries share and want to develop together. it's no coincidence that 2 of the world's most successful creative iris vaccines by the beyond tech and oxford astrazeneca came out of german and british labs. and i'm very proud that today we are establishing a new herschel metal for german and british women in astrophysics, in your, on a, just one angular of the lasting legacies ability to ship. it's a great privilege to welcome you here today. i'm going to over to you. yes.

u. k. and where boys johnson really need brussels and they need to also work on their relationship with brussels and make it really sensible one where, where they work on really tricky problems like like the know the knowledge issue and breaks it and burger, what's a trip to the u k, without having tea with the queen. in fact, that's what happened with the transfer of germany, which is just a courtesy visit or is there something special here? i believe before i get america, really, this will be very, very special. she told journalist when she was in the u. k. just a few weeks ago at the g 7 summit that it was the highlight of the trip that she met with 3 generations of the roles family. and we know that she's really a fan of the queen, so i think for had to be in a sort of farewell to and to ended in with the cost of having tea with the queen. that will definitely would have been something really, really special. so that's a very good, nice in london for as much thanks. as always angular medica

u. k. military and the u. k. parliament failed, not only our own troops, our own country, but the guns that that's the evidence from the independent defense committee. so the telephone has still got a good hold on the, on the country territory. they've got a fair chunk of it, joe biden in bars. jones said there's nothing inevitable about taliban reclaiming the entire country. what's your opinion? i guess you could go back to a bite in the prime minister. clearly saying is the on the one hand, ethically it's right for us can to determine picture that that will happen. it's just a future may well be particularly unstable. brucell takes us back to the medieval period of time without the democratic will or the democratic infrastructure being in place. the security forces were established to create it. and i think to be realistic, we need to wait and see what the future holds. but there's tom to have you said we've had 20 years, 20 years with trillions of dollars trying to this campaign and to achieve what we've ach

u. k. and that will be a 3 day event. it's going to be really big festival and celebration of, of the space industry in the u. k. and to get the satellites up to space for the 1st time here because he's never been able to launch from the u. k. and we build huge majority of the world small satellites here, but we can't watch them at the moment. so it is a big, big, big opportunity for the u. k. you've also recently signed to deal with sierra space, haven't you? how soon will that translate into a launch sierra spaces, a very different system for us. so it will pick up vertically somewhere else in the world, but it needs a horizontal spaceport to land that will run way to, to return from space. so that will be their return location where they'll be bringing amazing r and d in research back from microgravity, that we can prospect here in the u. k. and we're looking at doing that in the next 5 or so years. they're due to have their 1st launch out and in colorado in 2023. so it's a few years away st

u. k. and his blame for sending infections rising once again. it's also dominant in portugal and russia elsewhere. the variance is spreading quickly in austria, where it represents one of every 2 cases. and it's getting a foothold in the czech republic, 2 in germany. recent data shows, delta is around 37 percent of new infections for the countries infectious disease center recently estimates that it was already higher, perhaps 50 percent. some predicts the delta variant could account for 90 percent of all new cases by the end of august. but may sound bad, but remember there is no evidence of diseases any more dangerous. the scientific evidence shows the spread of delta is cause for caution, but not for panic. getting the best choice of in fact they can cope with 19 is likely to come as a big relief to those lucky enough to have one. but what happens when you various come along? well, somebody has some good news on this front against the delta vary and biotech was found to be 88 percent effective at preventing symptomatic disease. that's according

u. k. and the proposal that we're hearing from the government is that this may well be an extra tax on those who are chorused in the economy. and those who are youngest in fighting as this government so often does pensions between the have, the elderly and large, as i have said, that you can call me and i have not the young and in fighting picture between the rich and the pool. we should at this very moment be actually imposing taxes on wealth in the u. k. obviously, i mean, i'm sure those in the lead to watching this will say jeremy corbin did off of that and it was rejected at the ballot box. but that's go to our international view, as i just said to lack of, there was an election. the international view is especially the rich ones watching . why do you think britain is one of the greatest tax havens in the world? now that's something to be proud of. surely, i've written 2 books on tax havens and i've also this opinion that britain is now one of the biggest tax savings in the world. and i wil

u. k. and described about 6 months ago. so we're very concerned to see this delta varian spreading so rapidly. and there is some early evidence suggesting that it may be related to a greater severity of disease compared with the alphabet area. and also there's some data out of the united kingdom, which shows that the rate of hospitalization is greater for those individuals who are infected with adults very and compared with the older alphabet. and this is highly concerned. so more contagious and more dangerous. the world health organization says the original delta variance is on track to becoming the dominant strain across the world. how will that change? how will that change public health policy? well, i think 1st and foremost, you know, we do know that the vaccines are effective against this delta variance concern. and so it's most important that people who have not yet been vaccinated who can be vaccinated, go out and get back to me that we know the vaccine is safe and effective and even effective against this felt very a

u. k. in any other country that has shut down and the u. k. won't be alone there because as we talked about last week on the show, the global that in general is up because of all of these stimuli right now we've talked at length about how the breakfast brack. that saga is far from over writers . is that reporting that the u. k is expected to call for changes to the northern ireland protocol, which was a major sticking point in negotiations as they finalized the divorce. what is the issue at hand here, and does this put further tension on that content in relationship that we've seen between the u. k and the you at this point? yes, our brand is not going to become any less contentious. this is actually referred to, colloquially as the sausage was because a lot of it is about cold meat going into northern island. quite a while ago when i was on years ago, she was so started talking about brakes that i said that i didn't understand why it's cool breaks. it was an ox it because ox it is the knighted kingdom of great britain and northern island. n

u. k. so any ideas that are outlined in this new bill and there have been similar ideas that have been put forward by previous u. k. governments. they have been purely rejected on legal, ethical, operational, financial, and foreign policy grounds. so i think this protest proposes will most probably need the same fate misplaced, the british government repeatedly talks about taking back control of its borders. does it have more or less control? since leaving the you well, what we have seen since the 23rd of june and referendum is that of course, it's 5 years since and now officially do pay is all tied to you and most you not subject to it through. however, i shouldn't that the post wrecks that you k you relationship is still very much work in progress, as we have seen on the issue of northern ireland for instance. so i would see that the role between britain and, and your will still re john over the terms of that relationship and what we have seen since january 2021 is the u. k. implementing what they call a new immigration policy to seeing that the result of this is that in several sectors t

u. k. so any ideas that are outlined in this new bill and there have been similar ideas that have been put forward by previous u. k. governments, they have been purely rejected on legal, ethical, operational, financial and foreign policy grounds. so i'm sitting just which has proposed that will most probably meet the same fate. the british government repeatedly talks about taking back control of its borders. does it have more or less control since leaving the well, once we have seen since the 23rd of june and referendum is that of course, it's 5 years since. and now officially do pay is all tied to you. and most you not subject to it through however, i shouldn't that the post wrecks that you pay you relationship is still very much work in progress, as we have seen on the issue of no denial and for instance. so i would see that the role between britain and, and you will still re john over the terms of that relationship and what we have seen since january 2021 is the u. k. implementing what they call a new immigration policy. i've already seen that the result of this is that in several sector

u. k. and less than 5 percent of cases in france are of the b to variance. the better variance covers only 9 percent of cases in france and keeps declining in paris. it's 3 percent. but this point we're pleased to see the same thing. we check the data given that much from says i speak to rate is based on levels in some of its overseas territories, thousands of miles away in the indian ocean north on the mainland here. and it is not just as has been reported on the island, thousands of miles away. it was also an issue in particular in northern france. so it has been an overall concern with no change definitively size. fully vaccinated travel is just like myself heading to the u. k. a forced to pay hundreds of pounds, a piece. your son to isolate for up to 10 days. see you on the other side. so no on the euro, so they will full check that go the new or the 1st ones that i have, the negative cash. the 2nd one, re checking that as well as my id. one is normally what you'd expect to go through at the french check point and then getting to the british check point n

and most not subject to its truth. however, i shouldn't deposed rex that u. k. u relationship is still very much work in progress as we have seen on the issue of no denial and for instance. so i would see that the role between written and, and your will still re john over the terms of that relationship. and what we have seen since january 2021 is the u. k. implementing what they call a new immigration policy. we're just seeing that the result of this is that in several sectors that have been report of labor shortages, not least in the of the tell him to factor. so i don't think that this bill will address the huge backlog of asylum application applications and claims that have been made to the u. k. and refugees will not stop coming to seek refuge in safe country. is a very good point to make michelle pace from the british, the take chatham house, because we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. it's good to have you to help put this into context for us. thank you. us the, the caretaker prime minister of lebanon says that his country is on the brink of c
