u. k. really? well, you're right, rachel, you're totally right about that was actually allegro, stratton was his practice press secretary, who was caught, actually giggling on camera deflecting, went off the questions about that notorious. now christmas party and it's actually really interesting, i could make the point that is amazing how politicians can be brought down by the simplest things you know, the savings and loan scandal and the keating scandal and the u. s. was dramatic and actually affected the u. s. economy drastically, but it was too complex for the consumer to understand. whereas odyssey, obviously monica lewinsky, everybody can understand and that's what broken down. so they do say that obviously johnson's approval ratings are in the gutter in the u. k. so now to your point, i do think this is going to affect people's confidence in his plan be that he's just issued. and so yes, there is speculation that that's going to slow the economy down and actually interesting that you should r

u. k, with many of them gathering for christmas? i think one of the really big concerns is emergency services as so many things stop shortages, shortages at the moment, people isolating because they have the on the chrome bearing, you're seeing that we had it in the report that in hospitals and just how tired a hospital walk is docs is nice, is all so long into this pandemic now now face with this additional tie, the wave of cases you're seeing, businesses have very, very badly affected. although i said there are no new restrictions on hospitality. for example, people are taking their own choices and deciding that they want to mimic contacts and they run up to christmas. businesses have very, very badly affected. and then of course families around the country and eat around the world, deciding how they want to gather over the christmas period. the public, hey being advised to exercise caution in who they meet in order to, to protect the family. so a lot of difficult decisions happening in charlotte, thanks so much. that was our corresponded charlotte chelsea

really only in the area of me. certainly not jesus because the u. k. cheese is all the buried and everybody remembers that one to pipe of skipped about the cheese shop. there are so many types of british cheeses desperate for in australia, so for cheeses. no, it's not all farmers. it basically is pretty much the lamb and some of the be farmers and that has been no pun intended. that's been a big be for quite a long time. and that was really about, like i mentioned before, it's about the hormonal issue that they use certain hormones in australia and also off the 26. the commitment on the u. k. farming industry, the commitments they've had to make in terms of being eco friendly. and they don't have those same regulations and australia. the concern is that it's not a level playing field. that's a concern. now whenever it comes to you, i know we've talked a lot about these trade deals, but whenever it comes to the u. k, the economy, there still are kind of those concerns hanging over, especially about the latest variant of 19 and it spread. now, even thou

u. k. everybody really looks at the cree. we've talked about this before as it's ready to like the countries grandmother. she's very solid, very stable. she's not on alarmist in the slightest bit. that when she does something that sends a message to the nation, on the other hand, of course you have david frost, the former you chief negotiator. he resigned on saturday, saying that he could not comply. he feels as a minister that he would have to be. it's a collective vote when you vote for something and that he does not support the locked downs and lives. neither does list lives trust nor dominic rob. so i think the nation is very divided over this as we all hit in the u. s. and when you asked about where people comply, couple of other issues, of course, as we met christmas party the, the revelation that last year there was a lot of reveling going on on chris white before christmas. 10 downing street. they had a party while the whole of the country was locked down. so people's grandmothers, an elderly parents passing away when

really important in combating on the kron base. the numbers have dramatically gone off over the last week, 2 weeks as well here in the u. k. that really is what the government here is, is putting it on this coming. of course, just before christmas, these huge numbers. what does this search mean for people in the u. k? as many of them gathering you say there are no going to be no more restrictions pre christmas. but what does it mean for people who want to meet with their families? i think 1st off, the really, really big concern at the moment his staff, shortages potentially and emergency services in hospital for example, by reporting stop shortages as people are isolating with co it. and just because of the sheer numbers of people inspected, that could cause real problems using problems and businesses as well. even though there are, as we said, no additional restrictions right now, a lot of people are making their own choices in how to handle this and just finding the limit contacts and limit their risk and run up to christmas. the business is very badly affected and then of course the public making very difficult decisions

u. k. in the us. i really doubt that, and that's the problem here. because even when you have really compelling evidence that assurances cannot be trusted, that the u. s. is not abiding by the rules. you know, they want a song to abide by the law. they want mendoza to abide by the law, but they are not abiding by the law themselves. but even when you have very iron clad evidence, your very compelling evidence. can you trust that the course will do the right thing? i hope so. i really hope so. but, you know, there is precedent that this case has been cited to block and extradition. and i very much hope that the u. k. course would also see this evidence and be convinced that you cannot trust these assurances. and therefore, block saunders extradition because eventually it will be in the hands of the secretary of state. so meaning protect patel. teresa may block the gallery, mckennan extradition. you got very lucky but will pretty patel do that for julian, it's orange. if there's no more, you know, there's no alternative avenues and it's ultimately in he

u. k. hotley recipe for success. but what the issues between the u. k. in france really boil down to might have more to do with the opinion the to leaders half of each other. i think it was really a political thing and the of the, the side effect sort of to, to stuff to abs fuel to the fight between france and great britain that was just an added plus each of them a min mccolan boys, johnson sees, and the other what they hate most bars, johnson is shambolic disorganized. he goes on the fly, he has a sense of humor amendment. my call is a control freak. he, he's a bureaucratic technocrat. he is, has attention to detail on both of them. they work in different ways and they despise the where the other functions they don't like where no, i mean it's, it's is rarely politics rally carson, all but in this instance, each of them has got a sort of vision of how they want international relations to go and it's not the others, and then it becomes personal francais, even try to get the e, you invested in only ongoing squabbles taking a very one for all and all for one approach. the

u. k. isn't really fully equipped or prepared to deal with or something like storm are when yes we've seen wind speeds reaching 98 miles per hour. snow in some areas just simply hasn't stopped falling. so it is a very difficult time for the north of the country, but it's almost taken areas like this one back to victorian times and leaving families totally in the dark. okay, well thank sir for updating their shandey. that was chatty edwards, dash reporting from the north of england on the after effects of that huge storm a few days ago. many people still with our power. thank now russia's federal security service says it's apprehended, 3 ukrainian agents who it says with a gathering sensitive information and planning terror attacks with moral not his don quota or russia federal security services say they've detained 3 ukrainian agents that were planning 3 different terrorist attacks. the suspects are a man, his son and another young man. and they were planning acts of terror on a radio tower and rushes, a black sea fleet on another television tower, as well as on an electrical station. now,

really important in combating on the kron base. the numbers have dramatically gone off over the last week, 2 weeks as well. here in the u. k. that really is what the government here is, is pending its hopes on this coming. of course, just before christmas, these huge numbers. what does this search mean for people in the u. k? as many of them gathering you say, there are not going to be no more restrictions for christmas. but what does it mean for people who want to meet with their families? i think fast of the really, really big concern at the moment his staff, shortages potentially and emergency services in hospital for example, by reporting stop shortages as people are isolating with co it. and just because of the sheer numbers of people inspects that, that could cause real problems using problems and businesses as well. even though there are, as we've said, no additional restrictions right now, a lot of people are making their own choices in how to handle this. and just putting the limit contacts and limit their risk and they run up to christmas. they business is very badly affected. and then of course, the public making

u . k. cut presidency. really put call on the agenda in a very positive way. and and that fruit. so the for the, for the 1st time, last year or this year of a in 2021. all of the g 7. the g 20 the cop conference, all had called explicitly on the agenda all the way up to lead level. that was really unprecedented and just shows just how serious it's beginning to be taken. well, it's been good to talk to chris from a a 3 g. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. trying to 2nd largest real estate developer has been officially declared in default by credit agencies. evergreen's crisis will be felt by her buyers and millions who work in the property market as katrina. you explains that all fears about how the world wanted economy will be affected. it's called fairy land, but it feels like a ghost town. the ever grand project is just one of hundreds in china stalled because of the real estate giant's financial troubles. it's more than $300000000000.00 in debt and has defaulted on to overseas bonds. okay. yeah. retired pharma, mrs tongue lives close by and has brought her granddaughte

london broadcast center. joan hollis standing by and jonah, really record figures for infections being recorded. not just where you are in the u. k. but in france and it's reflected really across the continent, isn't it? absolutely. we thought here in the u. k. that a 129000 cases reported on tuesday. a record here. that was pretty extraordinary until france reported it's $290000.00 infections on wednesday. absolutely. i watering these numbers that are likely, i think in the next few days to continue to rise as we take stock continue to take stock of the christmas and new year holiday period. but in the meantime, records being broken all over europe national records. that is not just france, but italy, greece, portugal cypress molto. the list goes on. you've got the dutch of the swiss, who is saying today that all micro has now become the dominant, buried in those countries. germany says it will do in the coming days. the fins and the swedes have added to the long list of countries in posing new restrictions as the surge of alma chrome goes on. but you know, in the midst of all of that, some of the, she had numbers of people all

really about the culture wars. mm. with welcome back morris. johnson's u. k. government chose the international day of solidarity with the palestinian people to announce its new packed with israel. today as we approach christmas, it's narrative based in palestine. the un general assembly debates the ongoing like, while the u. k. u. s. a and e u. pool weapons into his really hands, amidst continuing violence in the legal settlements. joining me now from ontario in canada is professor micheal link, the un special rebel to the human rights situation in the palestinian territories. thank you so much. so much robideau for coming on as they said, britain has announced a huge pact that spanning cyber security, that loan trade with israel just update us on know whether, despite britain saying they do have some concerns about sexual violence, whether the situation of virgin greece was getting much better actually in the territories this occupation is getting deeper and it has been for years and there's really been no change with the arrival that he was really governme

u. k is taking a really hard line on this. i think one of the major issues too is, you know, we saw caught 26. we saw all these, you know, move, renewable energy, et cetera, except for the windmills. don't blow, don't, don't, don't move when wind is blowing. i'm at the renewable energy sources is aren't dependable. and so what's happened is the, you european union in general and the u. k. of may a big push to move to renewable, renewable energy sources. meanwhile, they forgot that right in the g. so there's no stream pipeline. could you so hold up, but they're taking a hard line in terms of sticking to what pub 26 lay down. and this slide about nato, basically stepping in, if it goes into effect, all right, and we continue to hear those same warnings, but then what does it sound like when it comes from what russia is saying about the warnings? and does it seem as though there is sort of this big, massive danger from russia, from this pipeline as the united states seems to think that there is. well, i think the problem is, is w

u. s. as was effected accounting for any one in 3 cases in the world. europe is also seeing a massive rise in cases where it's really from spain, on the u. k. all reporting reco daily infections in the last week or re challenge reports from london. dedicated, skyrocketing hand cobit hospitalizations in england, or event flyer. since during alarm bells ringing, there's an ami kron serge. it's about to crash over the already struggling national health service. so if we keep increasing it, of course the pressures are, again, mounting on weight when you've got workforce, as i said, that's already up to $550.00 nurses on many more. and so 5 things then of course the pressures are building and building and building. so what will it be like? and john, you re contingency plans of being put in place to cope with existing hospital capacity becomes overwhelmed with new temporary boards built the house patients. 8 temporary hub, being built at hospitals around the country, each one with a capacity of $100.00 beds more sites of being planned for an extra $4000.00 bed. if needed, its hope that none of this will ever be used. but if they are just in case

u k. soil ever so. so the very exciting for us here in the u. k. and that will be a 3 day event, is going to be really big festival and celebration 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 a deal with sierra space, haven't you? how soon will that translate into a launch? sir? space is a very different system for us, so it will take off vertically somewhere else in the world, but it needs a horizontal spaceport to land dad's will run way to, to return from space. so that will be their return location and where they'll be bringing amazing r and d and research back from microgravity that we can process here in the u. k. and we're looking at doing it out in the next 5 or so years. they're due to have their 1st launch out in colorado, in 2023. so it's a of a few years away still, but it's something that we're working on t
