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 from other small companies. for example, i was also filming in a cheese company on a couple of weeks a couple of months ago. and they had to do something similar. they were very small exporter our of cheese to the you. however, it really became completely unsustainable because every small shipment or you've got to fill in the paperwork, it doesn't really matter whether it's a small piece of cheese or whether it's it's a container. and for then at this it was just not possible. so they had t

until now, the movie has spent a lot of time refurbishing his image on the international stage. this was a man who was once banned from entering the u. s. and the u. k. he's now really need his image as someone who is on the world stage and welcomed and looked up to. and this documentary brings back in very stark domes, what they have worked very hard to suppress and bury the supreme court has essentially dismissed all cases against the prime minister movie in the context of the good jobs. right? so even domestic audiences don't talk about it very often. so why is the b b c bringing this up? what could be the motivation? that's the reaction from the indian government. we think this is a propaganda piece designed to push a particular discredited narrative. ah, the bias, the lack of object to witty and frankly, a continuing colonial mindset is politically visible. every possible litigation that had been leveled against sir, the prime minister and how his government handled good rods. eyes had been repeated ad nauseum. and the truth is that the nothing has really hurt the beard, the prime minister, the loss of so many. in fact, the good dry thighs and

now the u. k. prime minister says it's not practical to supply ukraine with fighter jets where she's to next office said training ukrainian forces on extremely sophisticated british maint warplanes would take time . he has been pushing as western allies to provide fighter jets had said to receive more than a 120 battle tanks to help fight russian forces. and u. s. as hoping to buy up to a 100000 doll tillery shells from south korea, so it can give them to ukraine. u. s. defense actually lloyd austin is in. so for talks, some estimates suggest that ukraine's army is using the shells at twice the rate that the u. s. and a you can produce them. south korea has a policy of not selling weapons to countries that are at war. rob mcbride reports from sol, the global search for 155 millimeters shells for ukraine's guns has now turned to south korea, which doesn't want to antagonize russia because of its influence over north korea. right now ukraine is getting through about $90000.00 shells per month. that'

u. k. right now we have american style is a we're trying to get towards that. but with european style welfare state. so actually we need to have an honest discussion of how we're paying for the chest re taxation, who's paying for it. it's, it's well known, the non dorms, for example, on paying their fair share of tax landlords as well on paying their fair share national insurance or capital gains. there are lots of holes in the tax system which are quite easy when the government of any color to come in and fix and immediately you could, you could put that money back into the chess. what about this idea? finally, if rely on the private sector and hospitals to help rescue the furniture put forward by the labor party. so you maybe as a very short term plan, this should work, but anything longer than, than short term doesn't quite make sense. we've. we have a self issue, both in indiana and social cat where we also go about $130000.00 vacancies. if i, if we can rely too much on our private model staffing within the check is going to get even worse. and that means k

now just to just before we finish, want to get your thoughts on the possible different attitudes of the government takes towards protest in different countries. obviously the u. k. on the west have supported the protests in iran that have been going on for months. now, while at the same time, sort of cracking down on potentially small protests in the u. k. do, what do you make of that? it's totally hypocritical, isn't it? that well, they want to crush real grassroots workers anger and dissent amongst their own population. when it comes to other countries, they artificially manufacture it. they fuel it, they pay for it, they give it massive major exposure even if it's tiny, but it sits their agenda very often they sent weapons to protest is to enable them to create publications that, that turn into a deeper unrest. all in the aim of changing governments that laid out like so it's a totally hypocritical stops. and that should be really clear to anybody where you suddenly made your point very clearly. it's a day jace, broad, vice chair of the communist party of great britain. thank you very much for your time and force today. thank you. was often our debbie schult
