u. k. or from the united states? i think the irish government was crucially important and they convinced the european union the european commission that this was a vital issue for ireland as a member of state that a hard border and not be re established on the island of ireland. and that the good friday agreement to be protected and old old, the good friday agreement does not. specifically a, you know, the european union was not a directly involved in negotiation. nonetheless, joint membership of the united kingdom and the republic of ireland in the european union was a really important framework for that agreement. and when the agreement was signed, it was understood that all of these new institutions would operate in a context in which ireland and the u. k. were both members of the european union with the united kingdom's exit from the european union. it raised obstacles to the continuing functioning of these institutions. and of these very easy cross border relations within ireland. and now we've, we've had 25 yea

u. k. or elsewhere, sharing the glory days of empire and believe that they are you within the you. they are subordinate to the interested brussels in berlin, which is true under apple i think was actually fun. why a core and very little acknowledge driving force. oh, prince withdrawal from the european union to exit the you, how to stay? a question divided several british political groups of elites about their goals. she wouldn't usually move past more to math. no elite group of law, then you think you can reduce blood via or where the what the to some is not only finance. you stick authorities that. yeah. i you plus i use them. categories the yard zebra dunham. ah, you got the doors were door, which is that still border control, you know, we're really public that new smyrna. slower in the morton's edge, toyota l, u. c. as in the so she stated in the federal election april by over. but then you start out is the crash out if but if you skip it there is nina, but dance can in period e avoid them. you've got to say usage. tuition means new yorkshire, some of their global is out sick t

u. k. or as much as maybe defense reporters like myself are. because a lot of what we saw, we already knew, we knew that the americans believe that the ukrainians have limited capability. we knew that they, that they did not think the ukrainians have the ability to fully when the war, meaning kick, all the russians out of every interview. crane yes, including crimea. and that was going to happen anytime soon. it's a long slog. these are things defense officials, i've been saying for months and they've been saying them publicly different ways, different, different versions of it. so what the league shows is a lot of hard confirmation to it for people who maybe weren't believing what they were hearing or didn't know. and so all at once the whole world is talking about this, the simmering doubt about the future of the war. man, i know that you are no longer in the national security council, but you sort of know how the place operates. and i think what we're trying to get out today, not knowing we're secrets, but really kind of being truthful. litt

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 and getting links to follow the trials of the video s

u. k. these sharks that they come as a surprise to you or you dealt with financial crisis in 2008. but do you think that that risk could sort of largely evaporated in the minds of many people. today's situation is different from 2008 in 2008. there was a common credit shock to the global financial system due to the sharp decline and housing prices. and many institutions we exposed to the housing market. there were also many parents of unregulated off balance sheet, but i mean, is there, is there a lane forgive me, but i just meant, i mean, is there concern that it will stay, that there won't be any further contagion because it seems as of the market. so quite anxious. yeah, there was a flurry of anxiety. absolutely. and there were sharp repricing of banks in particular deposits for reallocated, but policy me because stepped in aggressively and contained those financial stability fall out. so the policy tools are very effective. what do you make of this 5 year outlook? global growth is expected to be only 3 percent. and in the year 2020 a that's. that's a big difference from where w

u. k. or i will leave it there. thanks so much and dean baba now, the fashion industries, among the worst polos is, the un says it makes up to 10 percent of the world's carbon emissions. or producers have launched several campaigns to make fashion more sustainable. but it's not clear how successful they've been. severson has more from one of the world's fashion, cancels berlin. this we got, this is ways from big fashion houses, but to designers, maria and abbey deeds, fabrics are the source of their slow fashion brand sustainable clothes that are made to last. and this is one ah, a genes fabric that we sell from italy. the lining we south from are from germany. when you see europe there is so much waste, saw so much waste of the industry on it. there. we're not talking about like one meter, one scrap. we're talking about roles in recent decades, fashion has become an industry that experts describe as one of the most polluting and least transparent when it comes to sourcing materials. as environmental awareness increa

u. k. think about how can i know, how can i know how about racism or black people in the u. k. you know, you'll just eliminate it. and i think the same thing is going on with the american press with the ukraine. you know, you're not allowed to write about the nazi groups operating that because that doesn't really fit into a narrative. and this, this, this information that's coming from america is so old. it's been around ever since a c a was invented, you know, and it, unless law for credit was the bridge to help the americans get the ca, off the ground, the 1st place we're going to just information going back several hundreds of years . but you know, it's, it's interesting, it's still going on, there's still a lot of fake news out. the people are from, you know, really a stress to the entire machinery. he could bring the whole thing they be talking about. we're to be forced to talk about this for the next months or so, but i remember every one, most of this information you hear that you read comes from the government. that's where it comes from. lot from from conspiracy groups

u. k, for example, or that is a known to be very much against china in recent years of following america. but when it comes to the asia infrastructure investment bank, u. k, was the 1st european country to have joined. so this actually shows that when countries like that do look after their own interest and see where the opportunities are. they will join. there is no point not to join. if it means good and betterment of their own country's economy and the lives of their people. why not was interesting, i'm enjoying our conversation. i am on has been given some more time. so i hope you can stay, you know, when i look back about before biden. yeah, really thought sort of obvious. yeah. what trump was. i know he was more of a that's focus on the u. s. policy that's focus on making america great again. yeah, that was the big slogan. he didn't right then when he bought themselves about so much foreign policy by does the flip side. i mean, is this the way we're going in the food? are we looking hands when we say multiple multi polar, i mean as america, the americans going to be all on their ow

and the loss of trade with the u, which 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 of 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 region near you. you can't really sell that easily. 2 places that are far away, the costs are quite significant. so big a firms would be able to perhaps benefit wolf from any deal that we do with countries in the asia pacific region. but the truth is, of course, that if you look at the deals that have been done so far, such as, for example, the new ones will show alia and new zealand. and also what may be the case for some of those countries that we may be joining in this new agreement that we're going to have the progression agreement for trans pacific publishing that my join is concerned. agriculture in particu

u. k and northern ireland. and then there has also been an u idea of introducing something called a storm and break, which would allow northern island to block or under certain conditions, the application of new european union law. there has been a world in the u. k. government over this, the d u p. did or not wrote in favor for this. very briefly, please will this ensure peace in northern ireland. it's still early days, so what is important now is that the d u p comes back to the table and come spec to governing in northern ireland. there has been riches soon. arc has been saying air just just now that there's a lot of burke to be done. and also the irish prime minister has been calling and on both on the d. u. p to come back and also said that he is confident that this will be resolved in the coming months. august, 1 of the children in brussels. thank you. ah, spain's john rom kept his nerve to win golf's 1st major of the year. the master said o guster, he began the day 4 shots behind or when our leader brooks crept gut. but while the american faltered rom held on for a 1st master's title, the victory also sees him go top of the world ranking

u. k. has had a bilateral extradition treaty with its trans atlantic allies. yet when it comes to the deadly car accident caused by c, i, a operative, and the cool us near or u. k. air base. the u. s. rejected the formal request to send an american to london to face the u. k. courts. now these are just 2 examples of a laundry list of many who highlight the extradition imbalance between the u. s. 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 1st, 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

and together, for some countries such as the united states or the u. k, and the u. m. if they act together, they can exert some leverage on these parties. get if you could just tell us what do you think the situation is for civilians right now, especially in the capital cartoon. yeah, i think we also got it in the report that you brought to us before. it's absolutely devastating civilians. i can't go out. no, they don't have enough water, not enough. who would do being shot at in the streets if they try to go somewhere. that is why in the fighting in their neighborhood their costs might be stolen or they might be attacked by criminals. that also reportedly looming around so it's a very dire situation. garrett kurtz, political scientists with the research group, africa, and middle east at the german institute for international and security affairs. thank you so much for bringing us up to date and on that analysis of the situation incident. your work and a russian strike on the southern ukrainian city of her son has killed at least one person and wounded several more ukr

u. k and us government to apprehend or i would not say unlawfully detain libby and national his wife and children at the airport, denied them their due process rights and access unix yard. and the us and u. k. put this family on a, on a rendition flight to libya, where he was in the family were detained and he was tortured. so when snowden had exposed himself to the public, this was a real possibility, but, you know, he could be extraordinary route rendition. he could be a victim of force disappearance or it could be killed. so i've got time. the 1st priority was to remove him from the hotel. he was on because the media were converging on his location, a couple of locations for that matter, trying to find him, bring him to the you and hcr, and to raise an international protection claim under the rescue convention. it was that that time a decision had to be made where to place mister snowden, for his safety in light of the home and governments passed on lawful conduct. and you mentioned that the conditions were, were ideal for the i guess advice, and then protection mister i was able to o

or less. let's talk to scott lucas. he's a professor of us politics at university college dublin and joined us from birmingham in the u. k. scott donald trump is the 1st sitting or former us present to face criminal prosecution. how significant is this moment in u. s. political history? why you just mentioned the immediate significance and that is we have never had a former president in this situation. we've never had a former president who is running to get back into the white house in this situation. but as significant as this is and sticking to the facts of the case, we're expecting felony charges. us outlets reporting at least who doesn't want to 30. this is a very serious case, not just for mr. trump's future, but for that of the you, us legal and political system. and by that i mean you have to narratives which are running here. you have the narrative which says the legal system must be allowed to do its work, whether that finishes up in the acquittal or conviction of donald trump. there should be no political interference. and the other narrative is precisely that type of gas lighting from donald trump and his all

you have to what done by the military to various countries, whenever you as a german or on auto or a u. k, and so forth. now, the other route has been bought. so don, east, i'm that route is a long one, e t t more than 700 kilometers. there are blocks along the way, mind by the friend i'm groups. and then when you're traveling there, it takes you at least more than you know, 8 hours. if you're driving up more than 100 meters per hour, but of course with, with a large point where you can drive very fast and with so many checkpoints. so it has been taking people more than 24 hours to go to parts to sit down and be of acquainted from there. so it has been extremely, extremely difficult. but now of course with, if i told you 5 holes, then at least something can be done. mental health, this is nice. people were talking to me. they're running out of water. they're running for hospital, do not have supplies. the human interior agency is that normally with a center or hospitals are not able to get out on health. how about things like, like, i mean, you mentioned, you know, medical capacity is ser

in a cloud curriculum with many of these or is and there is this extra truth rather than the real truth of locus them, is that you start on black issues in the u. k. think about how can i know, how can i know have an opinion about racism or black people in the u. k. you know, you're just eliminated and living, the same thing is going on with the american press with the ukraine. you know, you're not allowed to write about the nazi groups operating there because that doesn't really fit into a narrative. and this, this, this information coming from america is so, oh, it's been around for ever since to see a was invented, you know, and, and that's not for credit. was the bridge to help the americans get off the ground . the 1st place were quite good at just information going back several hundreds of years. but, you know, it's, it's interesting, but it's still going on. there's still a lot of fake news out. the people are trump, you know, really a stress to the entire machinery. it could bring the whole thing talking about will be forced to talk about this for the next 18 months or so. but oh, i remember everyone, most of this, this information you he

and will turn to ukraine or u. k. intelligence reports, as russian forces have made significant gains in the east, a city of back. what british say russian forces have probably taken the city center along with the west bank of the back. what could be for that would put a ukrainian supply lines under threat. ukraine is denied the report, but admits the situation is difficult. back more to speed on the siege for months to see some of the fear is fighting of the war. i got an update on the situation and back load from moscow correspondent to chicago shipment off ski in reagan where d. w has been operating since we were banned from russia. till the last we heard from the russian side about the situation back, morris was from give guinea pig gordon head of the wagner group that is fighting in the city. yesterday. he said that the enemy, the ukrainians, are actually not going anywhere. and as you said that the battle in the city has been going on for months for over 8 months already. and it has turned into this grinding st

now if you think about this, if you're in germany or u k, and you have minus 10 percent change in your quality of life, you will have enormous progress industries. russia is a little different because if you protest him actually get beaten up to return in san to jail for 10 years. and in case of looking cameras, other they mentioned the demand of the speed is actually 25 years in j. 4 to speaking openly against the war. so it's a very depressive state is not russia of 20. 20 is not rational. 2013 is a very different country. we're now talking about about level of repression. we've not seen seen. so i would like to ask you a little bit more about the decision that you made to leave the country back in 2013. when you fled, you were widely quoted as saying the following, that you had no issues with putin or media have despite being the target of investigators. do you regret saying not? i think it was not a well formulated. what to what a man actually i didn't need to put in there. i'm invited to give me to give me a personal treatment to protect me from russian lloyd other than for the la

u. k is going to get any trade agreement or further trade provisions with the us. let's say, i mean the u. s. has been central to, to the whole piece agreement that the whole piece process in the north of ireland. and a lot of that has been the fact that it brings significant economic muscle to the table. a lot of the investments that we're seeing in there are coming from, from the u. s. you know, we're seeing microsoft, you know, a lot of the spill over even from the boom and the south is going to the north, largely being driven by, by u. s. pressure. they've made it clear that if they don't, if the u. k allows brakes it to get in the way of the peace deal that there won't be a trade deal, which the u. k needs post breakfast. so biden's really and he's really pushing his irish routes. so i think it's going to be central to how this plays out. all right, my colleague, clifford coon and thank you very much. let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. tesla will build a new factor in shanghai to produce large scale batteries. the rough
