u. k. that had to be remedied. so it's a very, very tight situation in terms of the ability of the government to respond to those demands. and a lot of concern is therefore there that we may not reach a proper agreement and for a while, and therefore we're going to have the disruptions continuing to some time and just work. one more thing vicky on the, on the issue of public sentiment because according to one poll that i was reading, it found that 60 st generally support workers seeking industrial action. and 33 percent of people were opposed. this is according to this ball. but then interestingly, public opinion varies depending on the group that's going on, strikes over in the u. k. sympathy as high for nurse as you were just mentioning them a moment ago. but there is perhaps less understanding for railway workers. and for a council staff that's according to recent polling, why do you think that is? i think right now is mainly because those new strikes are going to be happening around christmas. they haven't affec

but, but you don't set tax races, is that for your reliant upon the u. k. government, for the income that you have to spend on, on all of those things, you know about 80 percent of our total income comes via the u. k. government about 20 percent of it comes to taxation, decisions made in wales. the start of dilution quarter century ago, a 100 percent of our income came through the u. k. government and over time that has began to shift and that's probably a process that we will see continue. it's a 1st list of those. that's something that that but frustrates you to what extent do you have one hand tied behind your back? no, i'm not wholly frustrated. by it, when i li to devolve government, i'm a believer in the united kingdom. i think the united kingdom is better off having wales in it. and wales is better off of being in the united kingdom. and that does mean that some of those big macro economic decisions are better made at a u. k level. now, the formula that sends money to wells needs reform, it has since the very beginning, but the big picture in which

u. k. that's gone. and secondly, the budget didn't show us the sort of hard limits to borrowing per say. you know that the wrong lessons about it is to say, markets going to panic. if a country are you k borrows, the lesson is a country borrows it doesn't support the economy, but that barring then market take a very dim view. so it's quite important to learn that lesson. therefore, we're looking at this budget, the fact that we're not supporting the economy despite across living crisis, despite recession, shows that we're not learning that right lesson. it's certainly not mandated by investors. alpha. when you look at the graphs, all the charts presented by different countries are particularly in europe. most of them having exactly the same set of problems by using gas, electricity prices, food shortages, high transport prices, coupled with the ramifications from the russian invasion of ukraine. but still, they managed to bring their own or to bring the economy to the levels which were before covey 19 ex

but you don't set tax races, is that for your client upon the u. k. government, for the income that you have to spend on, all of those things, you know about 80 percent of our total income comes via the u. k. government about 20 percent of it comes to taxation, decisions made in wales. the start of devolution quarter century ago, a 100 percent of our income came through the u. k. government and over time that has began to shift and that's probably a process that we will see, continue it as 1st of all it's not something that that but frustrates you. to what extent do you have one hand tied behind your back? no, i'm not wholly frustrated. by it, when i li to devolve government, i'm a believer in the united kingdom. i think the united kingdom is better off having wales in it. and wales is better off of being in the united kingdom. and that does mean that some of those big macro economic decisions are better made at a u. k level. now, the formula that sends money to wells needs reform, it has since the very beginning, but the big picture in which those a

u. k. is one of the poorest countries in western europe. would it be safe to say that the u. k is no longer a major economic player in the world? well, by conventional indicators such as g d, p, and the size of the economy. of course the u. k remains one of the major players in the city of london certainly is one of the major financial centers in the world. i think the real problem u. k. has had really dating back to the global financial crisis. 2008 is it seems to have a deep inability to generate prosperity from across its regions, but also a serious inability to create the forms of jobs and the forms of employment and the forms of business which are actually wealth. creating a g d p per head is not very impressive. and the overall effect of this is u. k. finds it harder and harder to actually deliver the standard of living that many people expect from a what by other measure, the highly developed countries. so this is can manifest in increasingly threadbare public services writing child poverty levels. some scandalous examples of, of people living in conditions that the u.

that we became an enhanced partner in nato. we have director agreements with sweden, with u. k. we that usa bilaterally and even try lateral agreements. so it was kind of a convenient combination, our own for cease and capabilities plus, working close together with you, nato neighbors, even transatlantic lee. so i think that was considered to be an offer before all this. and i want to had that i have said earlier on, many years ago that my belief is that if there would be war time, which was set very seal or ethical, which i said to always. so those who have similar interest, we'll fight together. even he said there are no applications. so memberships, that's what has happened in every crate for, i mean, thought was, you just have l eyes if you have the same interest. so maybe this combination was something we relied on before russia gave its opinion on to protect. so ukraine, so seeing how the invasion has played out. and i guess a lot of the whist not sending troops into ukraine to that play a part and wanting to join nato because, you know, they've been crying out for a defens

but it's interesting that the u. k. and the u. s. somewhat, you know, because of g l. and although the liquefied gas is being sold to europe for 4 times the price is that they would obtain the russian gas for and they had to to $1.00 physically while you know, so converting their own sanction radio and that's the key was circumventing. there are their own sanctions there, but then again, you know, look at this, we understand that the, the credit has officially said that the u. k. was that the ring master, when it came to the bombing of the north stream pipelines out of course the u. k. wouldn't have done that without a nod, at least from langley, and then we have all of a sudden american l, n g, which is so much more expensive, essentially being force fed down the throats of europeans done. what is europe looking at now with a winter of discontent and economies going down the drink while they are looking at trouble? they are looking at suffering for their own people. and that the governments of europe have accepted this state of affairs, right? that really the u. s push

the report finds that the u. k. 2 against then fail to achieve its primary goal of building a viable state. and that the you case the decision to prioritize partnership with the united states led to some poor choices on the use of aid which contributed to the ultimate failure of the international coalitions state building approach. according to the report, the british government spent a total of $3500000000.00 pounds on assistance to have gone a song. however, the organization re, to the u. k. actions as unsatisfactory and most areas with some of the results. the government is also being criticized for his cooperation with the us, which the report says lead to some poor choices. after withdrawing from afghanistan, the u. k. concentrated it's as that song ukraine. the country has already given 2300000000 pounds and military assistance to kias. the british government is also announced that it will send helicopter to ukraine for the 1st time. it comes off the u. k prime minister, which is soon i cannot say new ad defe

u. k. that does not include brazil or the democratic republic of congo, both home to vast areas of under threat forests. indigenous leaders have renewed calls for deforestation funding promised at the glasgow summit last year. this year he had done was as will tell him, which other there must be coming on a day to day basis. it is the indigenous communities who experience it. and in my case it's very bad. it is not early climate change. it is a change in structure which is affecting ambition as towns. in this case, we're talking of constant rain, which last year during the pandemic, flooded the amazon pace of all the rivers. them amazon basin overflowed as on the other hand, you have droughts. so these are things that we experiencing every day gears and thought us off of 5 key ukrainian companies have been nationalized for wartime state needs. the companies include a top engine maker and an energy company. it's the 1st time the government has use martial law, which was introduced when russia inv

u. k. that in the autumn statement by the chancellor last week that there was nothing safe at all with regard to helping and protecting parents and children. a contrast, the scouts of the smell dish government not pursuing a payment on the scottish child payment, which provides families to qualify with $25.00 funds a week that and so there is some char, clear divergence know in the wishes and the politics of people of scotland and the rest of the u. k. a can, we can have to leave it there. thank you sir. my said is andrew wilson and activists said with the campaign time for scotland. thank you. la protest that the world's largest apple i phone factory in china has turned violent videos on social media show fox con employees matching and joan jo and being confronted by police. some have reportedly been beaten and detained. workers are protesting against and paid wages. and the impact of china's strict covered 19 policy whereas work is previously scaled wolves to flee the factory in droves. now th

members of a british, the british navy were involved and of course the, the, these that the accusation back from the u. k. is that these claims are false and that the, these are false claims on a massive scale in order to distract from their quote illegal invasion of ukraine. now this, this, as is very important because this is affecting the grain situation. and of course, russia chose the turkey as a neutral spot for the grain, since they weren't allowed to really work with europe. and what did the russian president have to say about the ukrainian grain deal, as well as moscow's decision to suspend its participation in it? repeatedly of president vladimir putin has been saying that the grade is not getting to the poorest countries, more than 35 percent. go see you. 34 percent goes to turkey and only about 3 to 5 percent goes to the forest countries. and this is, of course, physically important because russia is being blamed as, as, as somebody does the whole thing, this grade and hurting, and starving all of these countries. but the reality is russia only halted the transport because they couldn't allow

busy napoleonic wars and rewards, but this time i think that the u. k. is trying to be both hostile to russia openly and at the same time. and it is trying to really, i push germany into another conflict with rush. i also see this that you mentioned this behavior full on the issues that these are reparation claims. all of a sudden i'm in this, this war that is happening in easter europe. so i think these things are connected and that, that the more hawkish easter european countries when it comes to russia are under strong influence of london. so what it looks like, the ukranian conflict is, has deepens, divisions within the wes paid in the world. they say what you're saying is, is actually just bringing the divisions. i've already been to a head exactly these dishes, were there that, that she was there was france and germany who were in the last years becoming stronger. and i think this was, this was the main, a fear, and let's say, a draw a driving force in a sense behind, behind the brags and, and now that the britain is independent again from, from eur

u. k. information commissioners office immediately agreed that i had jurisdiction in the u. k. because i proved that our data was stored there. so it was the logical step to proceed to learn more and to see if the law would allow us to exercise our rights. but we were obstructed by the company going out of business. and in the end, somebody leaked the trump 2016 database to journalists, and it took her active journalism to actually deliver my data from that leak in the end. so we also learn some of the limitations of being able to regulate these companies. and the importance of the free press when that fails or before i bring brittany into this because brittany has a foot and both sides of this story and as such an interesting life in the, in the data world. and i want to tell our folks, one of the coolest things about brittany as she set up rock obama, facebook page ages ago in the united states senate, which i find, you know, sort of an innocent beginning to this that took some, you know, darker turns. but, but i'm interested in, you know, broadly in this question of what, wha

and this is the 1st time that a corporate has been prosecuted under section one of the u. k. bravery that essentially means that they weren't just guilty of failing to prevent driver if you will, but actively authorizing drivers. the company and its lawyers are apologizing. plan, montgomery, one of blanco's legal representatives in court, said that the company's behavior was inexcusable. that had no place in glen cove, but that these practices did not happen in any form in glen cove companies to day. but this case isn't the last of glen cause legal problems. it set aside $1500000000.00 to settle a series of global investigations, including about $1100000000.00, the us authorities, rory, talents out as era london. well, now the ethiopian government tend to grind levels of agree to and fighting in a deal un says is a critical 1st step. the african union describes as a new dawn for ethiopia. and this was negotiated through the african union. it's set seen as at least the 1st step towards ending the bloodshed. or there are so many questions on how the deal itself is going to wor

now that's going to bring the u. k. interest rate to 3 percent. that will be the highest rise since $989.00 and the highest rate since the 2008 financial crisis is going to hit a lot of people very hard. so why are they doing this? well, inflation in the u. k is stubbornly high, is 10 point one percent that's the highest in 40 years. and this banks job is to bring that down. that target is 2 percent. and one of the new tools to do it is by tinkering with the interest rate. now they're hoping that by, by raising them that little bit, it'll suck demand out of the economy a little bit. it will encourage people to save rather than spend or borrow and bring prices down. but the problem is that a lot of like she was saying in his report, not the problems here in britain, not just inflationary. it's also due to supply chains which are broken down and also energy costs which are rising. so the bank only as limited effects. now whatever the rate tight cries, it's going to hit millions of people hot, particularly mortgage owners and people with any credit ca

u. s. department of justice says they continue to pursue extradition and that they will continue to pursue extradition for the time being. now the u. k home secretary did approve the extradition of julian assange, because u. s. officials have promised to treat him humanely, whatever that means. so at the moment, julianna's on his legal team is appealing that decision that he would be extradited to the united states. american legal and media analyst, lionel says it's unclear why the western media is suddenly changing its tune about assange. but the previous smears against him should not be forgotten. if you listen to this, absolutely implicit in feckless commentary by today's a canoe shanty. just making fun of the way he looks, you know why he looks like that. let me tell you, it's called torture. that's why you look like that. and i like to see any of those brave journalist see if they can withstand a week of this. this is something which absolutely galls me, julian assigned whether you like him or not, whether you care for his personality is a hero. something must be happening. why all of a sudden, what changed? what information are

that is holding us back . according to the anonymous ruling of 5 judges of the u. k. supreme court of scotland is unable to hold an independence referendum without the british parliament's approval. london has already said they would not grant commission for another vote, insisting that it should be a once in a generation event. back in 2014 from 55 percent of scottish vote is rejected. the proposed break away from the u. k. a london cause ruling has re ignited debates on the controversial issue with independence. mood still high among the many communities in scotland. we dive deeper into the debate with journalistic shay bows . who say that london isn't actually prepared to accept an equal partnership with edinburgh. it illustrates in great detail and that you know, the u. k. are the english lead u. k. isn't really interested in a partnership of equals, it will decide whether the scottish people themselves, who are a very distinct and you know, nation and very ancient culture themselves, their own language, you know, et cetera. they will decide in london whether the

survey ins, drones that kind of thing, being put in place to try and reduce the amount of people crossing. but again, what the charity say is people have to be able to reach the u. k. and a legal way that's going to be one of the main ways in order to stop them really risking their lives. natasha, thank you very much. indeed. natasha bought a talk to she done. cook funerals are being held for 2 palestinian men shot by israeli soldiers in the occupied west bank one was shot in the head in july finally succumbing to his injuries on wednesday. another had been shot in the abdomen on tuesday. following a confrontation between palestinians and settlers, new fisher reports from numberless became to see a final goodbye to a friend, a neighbor, amanda. no call a martyr. mohammed herself was short by the israelis in july. his death on wet and delayed, but inevitable. he died just a few weeks after his friend. this has become familiar to many who watch events elsewhere with a growing frustration. a shy must mean how many people under occupation have the right to resist. you look at ukraine. when the war started, there was international support for ukraine, but here, there a

we heard their numerous times through the weeks they russian, president said, alleging that the u. k. was involved in, in some capacity as well. your thoughts on when you hear that, of course, they're not directly involved in the, in the, the conflict in ukraine. but for all intents and purposes, it appears as if they've got to handle things that are happening. i think more than a hand, i think we know that us and british intelligence are very much involved in helping the ukraine military serve. certainly with targeting. we know the ca, for example, has been in ukraine even before the special operations training various forces there to kill russians. and by the way, that's in the, the i was quoting people who are actually trained by the ca, they were, you know, that's what they were trained in. you know, and as i understand the situation on the ground, i mean, you know, essentially the ukrainian military was more or less destroyed in the early weeks of the special operation. and you know what, what ukraine military is now fighting with is almost all from nato. you know, so this reall

u. k. which is that 9.6 percent. well, on the opposite side of the g, 20 economy quote list, according to the full cost by all e, c, d, india is projected to have a 3 to 7 percent compared to you key, which in fact, the 2nd worse before more after it sanctioned russia in fact, it's not going to grow old, but it's going to shrink my 0.4 percent, but in the u. k itself, while additions tend to believe russia and not done sells for the current condition, for the current downfall in proteins economy. the last thing impact on supply chains has made goods more expensive and fuel inflation. and this has been worsened by a made in russia energy crisis. what india hasn't sanctioned was bought node with russia . and remember, india has overtaken britain and become the 5th largest economy in the was and it's project going to be even more substantial in the coming india will witness an unprecedented explosion in economic growth and opportunities from a 3 trillion dollars economy. india will grow to be a 40 trillion dollars econo

this is also the largest complication, and this is the 1st time that a corporate has been prosecuted under section one of the u. k. bribery. that essentially means that they weren't just guilty of failing to prevent driver if you will, but actively authorizing drivers, the company and its lawyers are apologizing, plan, montgomery, one of blanco's legal representatives in court, said that the company's behavior was inexcusable. that it had no place in glen called bob, that these practices did not happen in any form in glen cove companies to day. but this case isn't the last of glen cause legal problems. it's set aside $1500000000.00 to settle a series of global investigations, including about $1100000000.00. the us authorities, rory, talents, out as era london. and netherland has close to unregistered chinese government missions on that soil. and civil rights group says it's found these missions which operate of police stations and more than 30 countries. sebastian reports from ross of them. it doesn't look anything like a police station, but this flat and rotterdam is on a chinese list of overseas missions use fo

so that's why countries like the u. k, for example, and germany that may be now their emissions aren't as big as they used to be played a big part in driving up global warming to where it is today. and now it's those countries who don't necessarily have the same level of g d, p, they don't necessarily have the same, they haven't had the same opportunities to develop a facing extreme weather which is damaging their infrastructure. so i was just looking at some examples of this, you know, in dominica and 2017 hurricane maria, destroyed the country up to a cost of 220 percent of their g d p. now that doesn't happen in countries that have had a longer time to develop, such as the u. k and germany. we do have those m night the same extreme level. so for many people it's very, very unfair that countries that have tiny emissions pathways and haven't contributed to the historical phenomena of global warming and now facing the massive consequences. as a marcella from climate outreach speaking to d. w. a little earlier there. we ca
