u. k. hasn't excluded it. so unlike the u. s, the u. k hasn't said this is not going to happen. so i agree with richard that this might be interpreted as a shift in the west thinking. so the u. k has also said that they are expanding the training of the ukrainian soldiers. they're hoping to train up to $20000.00 ukrainian soldiers this year. and obviously this is significant because they will be trained to use the battle tangs and order artillery of all the machinery are that's being used by the west. and we know that battle tanks have been secured by ukraine so, so this training in the u. k is very, very important for the ukraine, but i just wanted to ask you as well about that moment. when's the lensky singled out the former british prime minister boris johnson to say, thank you. you know, boris is loved by many a ukrainians for his support of the country. his successor refused. soon act is. is he trying to sort of follow in bertha's footsteps? is he trying to be a hero of ukraine as well? well yes, richie sooner has has visited the ukraine and he, i think, is trying to evade t

u . k. not to send jets to ukraine. here's what zalinski had to say when he addressed lawmakers in london to day and living aboriginal parliament 2 years ago. i thank you for delicious english key. ah, and i will be living the parliament today thanking all of you in advance for paul english place. ah, all rights, let's go now to ukraine to get the view they're joined by our corresponded nick connelly. he is in keep. nick, it's good to see you. zalinski. we know he pushed hard for battle tanks to be sent from western allies and he pushed until he got a big yes, i want us to take battle. takes out of that equation, replace it with fighter jets. will this tactic work a 2nd time? well, that's also the hope hearing care of, and we've seen time and time again, those red lines and those kind of firewalls between different types of weapons. often people in the west of europe speak of defensive and offensive weapons saying they'd send defensive weapons, but not offensive weapons that has crumbled time and time again. so that's d

not really you make is here in brussels. those capitals are looking a bit reluctant on that to the moment though. i'm sure jack paris in brussels. britain's defense secretary says the u. k is not ruling outstanding 5 suggest to ukraine. i think that uncertain adding to uncertainty overcame request francis says and it also is leaving its options over while the u. s. and germany of rule this out well in struggle with the decision to supply your crime with advanced leopard 2 tanks. now, germany is defense minister has acknowledged that his army could use a few more tanks of its own foster and deadly. the leopard too, could be a game changer in ukraine. germany says it will deliver 14 of them by the end of march, but ukrainian force is to use on the battlefield. defense minister boris pastorius, visiting the base from which the tanks will come said the decision to send leopard carries a cost with islam as already. okay. your fact is that ukraine needs every support and lathered tanks, whether they are 2, a 6 is or 2. a fours can play an important role in the ukrainians fight against the russian aggressor in august. so everyone understands that it has to happen, even though

u. k is not ruling out sending fighter gents to ukraine after a lukewarm reception among western allies. the keys recent request for air support, french president among them i call it says he hasn't included sending fighter just so you grant either i'll be under multiple condition, but is alone so far with the u. s. presidential vine, ruling out providing american f sixteens and germany opposing sending jets keys request for western fighter. just came on the heels of weeks of diplomatic wrangling that led to germany's decision to deliver lever to tanks to ukraine. now, germany's defense minister acknowledges that there is an urgent need to replace the equipment in the german army foster and deadly. the leopard too could be a game changer in ukraine. joe, but he says it will deliver 14 of them by the end of march for ukrainian forces to use on the battlefield. defense minister boris historian, visiting the base from which the tanks will come, said the decision to send leopard care is a cost. this is still miles already. the fact that ukraine needs every support and left the tanks, whether

u. k. citizen or not. so people think about how the u. s. espionage act is being used to prosecute julian us on the non us citizen who never agreed er to sought to adhere to u. s. state secrecy laws. who is based outside of the united states for publishing information as a publisher. and it's, it's the 1st time that the u. s. is applying its domestic criminal law against somebody who's based outside of the united states, while at the same time, claiming that 1st amendment protections don't apply to him because he's not a us citizen, strangely enough. um, that seems to be what they want to be able to do with this bill. so currently the official secrets act applies to you k citizens and a and, and i'm, i'm not sure if at all there any provisions that apply to you. k citizens abroad here in theory, they could use it to prosecute you, let's say you are as i say, if you're, you're working for a foreign funded foreign state funded outlet or in or even organization transparency international received some funding from foreign from foreign said.

u. k. is not a policy to the conflict. since 2015 the u. k. as licensed at least 8000000000 pounds and military aid to saudi arabia full use in yemen. some estimates say the real sum is much higher and could be more than 23000000000. if all additional licenses are taken into account. the british weapons include military aircraft and devastating bombs which have been used against cities held by the who's the rebels . from 9000 civilians are said to have been killed by the saudi led coalition of our countries during the ongoing intervention in yemen. well, let's discuss this further now with our guest, alexander k political analyst and editor of red star radio. many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. it's nice to see you. so alex, on the what do you make the bushes? government lawyers claim that the saudis are having difficulty avoiding war crimes and you haven't well, it's frankly laughable. and another case of the british government, blaming the victims of the atrocities that are carried out by its allies. this just seems to be

however, the cia did not see the prospects for a revolution. anytime soon, the u. s. and u. k were not prepared for a regime change in iran, and mild khomeini chanted the slogan of independence from superpowers. something which would put an end to the british and american dominance on iran soil. the 2 countries had already overthrown the democratically elected governments of mohammed mo, signed by orchestrating the 1953 co, and restating the shaw to power. that's what made toppling the shaw in 1979 thinking the unthinkable for washington. as if viewed mohammed was up on the v as a close ally and had the best sense of the word, a puppet. this is an enchanted land, in which maternity, thanks to an enlightened young ruler in the presence of an enormous supply of petroleum harmonizes with one of the earliest civilizations known to recorded history. but the will of the iranian nation seemed to outweigh the will of western powers. iran will be an independent country, non lines, not under the influence of any superpower. and it will only have friendly relations with those super power

u. k. well, be you have some red lines about protecting the single market and not fully reopening the, the protocol text. and actually they will mostly kept you. but actually the u. k. did manage to nibble away at the edges of the, of that the, you can read lines as we, as we have them during the prime minister ships of ours. johnson disappeared and that's what opened up the prospect for a deal bought both. so it's appeared to have genuinely tried to find space where that you could where they could negotiate. so i think the u. k. had to move considerably from the situation under under bars johnson. but in return the you has also clearly moved as well. so there is some ground given on both sides. just the christian a drawer, a line now and breaks it, negotiations. no, i certainly, i think the briggs and negotiations on the position, the relationship to the you can the, you continues to a matter of discussion. well, what i think it does is it perhaps through the line under the phase that was started really in 2019 with the withdraw. it provides the possibility of more stability upon which now

opening remarks from the former chief advisor to boris johnson. dominic cummings, whose claim not the u. k. government is heavily influenced by a so name, deep state in which accountability to voters is far from a primary consideration. there are kind of deeply entrenched institutions which actually practically control huge amounts of what happens with 0 to very little democratic insight or even a knowledge and understanding the deep state israel. the deep state actually controls vast majority of government. and most of the electric people have no understanding or involvement and what's going on. that's just a fact because a lot of what's happening right, that is really get screw, shoot, shoot the confusing or difficult. often what's happening is very good, sensible intelligent officials with genuine public service. you actually understand what the hell is going on, fall better than the idiots who are elected. archie trying to stop did you to a big electorate doing terrible things. and oxford university graduate, who's been working in back rooms as a strategist for the past couple of decad

you are paying constantly in having privileges access not just to the u. k. home market, which is enormous 5th biggest in the world, but also the european union single market. nobody else has that no one, only you guys only here and that is the price. of course, it was a very similar price at the rest of the u. k. gave up with bricks it the winds framework changes the problematic northern ireland protocol and early a deal with the e u, which established trade barriers between northern ireland and mainland u. k. and so angered northern irelands unionists that they collapse the power sharing governments a year ago. they'll need to be happy with a new deal to come back to the store want assembly. we listen very carefully to what the prime minister said and, but we need to translate that into what the legal text actually says. what does it mean for business? what does that mean for consumers? and fundamentally, what does it mean for norman's place was in the united kingdom and our ability to trade was in the internal market of the u. k. although they're not going

u. k. government, which the u. k. government is not going to give because it says that the 1st independence referendum in 2014, which the independence movement last was a once in a lifetime events. so nicholas sturgeon's response to that was to say, okay, what we're going to do then is we're going to make the next general election that they facto independence referendum. the issue with that is not all popular with much of her party who think that it's too divisive and what go down well with the electorate. so much of the senior people in the party want to wait for a new leader to be chosen. who can then take a new strategy forward? for we talent out to sara, edinburgh. lisa sank all have far tear gas to dispose supporters of main opposition leader osmond. sancho sancho was forcibly removed from his car after repeating in a court in the capital darker. he was attending hearings in a defamation case against him. sancho supporters say the legal action and other allegations and attempts to discredit him. i had a presidential elections next
