u. k. has been trying to find new areas to trade with the realities that of those 11 countries right now in this partnership, 9 countries already have agreements with the u. k. some of them had been rolled over and after we left the you so they were the result of breaks it. so we tried to do more or less. was there in terms of agreement within the you of those countries . but there are only 2 countries that we haven't made any agreements with so far on the trade front and those on malaysia in brunei. so that's probably why the gains and g d p are small, but they have been no deals that we have signed will recently. in addition to the 69 that we've rolled over so. so there is a lot of activity going on to just a guess. you know, the, the world to believe that this is global britain, but of course the loss of the trade or some of the you trade is much more significant in terms of its impact on g d p. what tell us a little bit more about that, about how much trade is being lost and how much furthe

u. k. has signed trade deals in agreements with more than 70 countries, and one with the e. u. since his departure from the block in 2020, the terms of the majority of those agreements were rolled over from its previous membership of the e. u. the australia deal was the 1st trade agreement negotiated by the u. k. since breaks it, the u. s. is a significant trading partner accounting for at least 16 percent of total u. k. trade. but a free trade deal between the 2 nations has told. well, johnny is now from london, is vicki price, who is the chief economic advisor at the center for economics and business research? vicki, welcome. by its own reckoning, the u. k. government estimates this will increase economic outputs by less than 0 point one percent. so really just how significant is this? i think the significance is mainly not highlighting the fact that the u. k wants to be a global player rather than necessarily the implant you may have on g d p, and hopes that that will lead to maybe more tre

u. k. has had a bilateral extradition treaty, a deadly car accident caused by c. i a operative, and the coolest, and the rest of the world. joining us to discuss is a man who has covered many of these extradition cases, most recently, reporting directly on the assange extradition trial. is pulitzer prize winning writer, former mideast bureau chief before the new york times, his latest book called the greatest evil is war. now host of the chris hedges report on the real news network. mr. chris hedges. chris, thank you so much for being with us. first, chris, let's start with perhaps the highest profile extradition case in the world right now. that would be of julian assange. it would appear that his attorneys in the u. k. are running out of appeals and he will likely be brought to the us to face espionage charges that would effectively result in a life sentence. now data from the d o j shows that they have an astounding 97 percent conviction rate of those extradited to b. u. s. does it appear th

u. k. has sort of relinquished its sovereignty of jurisdiction due to decades old extradition treaties with the u. s, and that julian is a victim of that, among other things. well from the beginning for those of us who have followed the case closely. this has been judicial farce. there are all sorts of legal anomalies that should have invalidated this case. a long time ago we can begin with a fact that julian has not committed a crime. he didn't do anything different from what the new york times the guardian dare spiegel. and l p. s. did when they published the iraq war logs. remember, that's what he's being charged with under the espionage at 17 counts. so it's 170 years if he's convicted on all counts on another 5 years for hacking into a government computer, although he didn't hack into a government computer. chelsea manning who leaked the documents did not need to hack into the computer or chelsea manning had done all of the passwords security clearance to get into the computer to, to pass

u. k. has been facing more costs in terms of trade with the u. has been reducing these trade with europe more generally and hasn't been able to pick up in terms of the potential trade. it does like other countries have done since the, the reduction in loss of coverage restrictions. so that suggests that breaks it has had an impact. and the loss of trade with the u. wish has remained. of course, our main trading partner is going to have more permanent or impact on the u. k. economy, which loads and loads of export as are already complaining about. and also of course on the input side for just about to final introduce more restrictions at the border. so that's going to complicate matters even more. as far as this deal is concerned, who gains who loses small firms, particularly lose? i think this is one of the problems you can sell very easily to a region near. you know, you can't really sell that easily. 2 places that are far away, the costs are quite significant. so big of firms would be able to perhaps benefit wolf from any deal that we do with co

u. k. has also tried to dispel the rumors. both dui and india are committed to deliver ambitious and mutually beneficial. f t a and conclude the latest rounds of trade talks last month. the foreign secretary has condemned the recent act, violence at the end in high commission, and we are working with the metropolitan police to review security and make changes to ensure the safety of its stuff. let me give you a time line here. so the time publication in london reported the whole thing trade talk with the key because of the reason to pro carlos on the separatists attack that we saw last month in london, separatists had staged porters outside the indian embassy. they normally sage the protests, but they are far seen. they remove the indian tri, follow flags from the embassy after which of course, india was extremely upset. it was angry. and india here in new delhi some month, the highest serving diplomat diplomat and basically all them question them as to what is going on. how could they allow such an incident to take place in th

u. k. has confirmed you has supplied depleted uranium shelves to key of do you think this is much of an escalation in the conflict? well, it is because i want to because what happened in iraq was the use of those munitions. obviously everyone has in mind the flu shot situation where, you know, behind closed doors, airport 2004, and then november 2004 my high and again, any kind of media coverage of it. you know, we found out that and up to the day, the use of that kind of a munition has led to tremendous cases of muscle mission then are cancer and still more cases. so this is completely against against the laws of war and august. the you get cannot only does a lower bodies and cannot pretend that just because the ukrainian home forces out taking stock of the, of the material. there was their responsibilities perfectly obvious. get it. obviously, we mentioned that against the laws of war, but many of the countries in need. so they say that there are, there's no proof of adverse effects of these

u. s. has moved to add additional trips to captain when you get in to booty. also the u. k. has announced that they will, that they have their forces on standby to remove their embassy staff and citizens. also many african countries, such as kenny, i have officially announced that they are planning to evacuate citizens. so, so yes, there is perhaps likely to be some attempt at evacuations. although right now it's nearly impossible in the city of them. i'll be out there all day ever and was joining us tonight from eastern bold. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. 10 members of the same family had been killed in a mass shooting at a house in south africa. leave say that they were ambushed by an unknown gunman in the eastern city of peter mounted, spoke south africa has one of the world's highest murder rates. after 4 years of trying, mexico is finally sold, its unused presidential plane. tajikistan has bought it for $92000000.00. president andre manuel lopez

u. k. has the coolest near or u. k. air base. the u. s. rejected the extradition imbalance between the u. s. and the rest of the warranty on the assange extradition trial is post of the chris hedges report on the real news network. that would be of julian assange. it would appear that his attorney's now data from the d o. j shows that they haven't a sovereignty of jurisdiction due to decades old extra closely. this has been judicial. julian is not committed a crime. he didn't do anything different to the espionage act. 17 count. so it's 117 who leaked the documents did not need to hack into a computer or a term that set up cameras and recording devices throughout the ecuador and embassy in london. and turned over all of that tape to the cia vis a rating attorney client privilege. we have the fact that julian is not a us citizen. so there's that question of how he can even be charged under the espionage act. wiki weeks is not a u. s. based publication. so i've sat in on the trials and then during coven was getting up at 5 in the morning

u. k. has also sent to the use of depleted uranium has been linked to cancer. for more on this, let's cross live now to activists fear russell, who joined us from the protest in london. we appreciate your time today. now you are one of those protesting. so tell us, what is the current sentiment among the people there right now? okay, so we have a number back to this here who joined us because we, we've organized an emergency protest against sending depleted uranium sales to ukraine on speaking from right behind me. you can see down in the residence foreign minister. so the news that britain was sending the sales for the challenge of time was revealed by website post declassified. you pay on the 21st of march, and we decided to hold a merchant protest falling on the british government not to send these shells. if they 40 be said to order that you've been bustle. now do you think that the government is aware of the opposition over the use of depleted uranium and when it comes to your calls for the situation to be reversed, you have hope that will be the case? wel
