u.k. government. but the contender is remaining to become britain's next prime minister will be possibly for a short term jeremy hunt boris johnson both defend arms sales. to riyadh is it something that's popular with the voters that. for one thing which brought us johnson and jeremy hunt have in common as it will have been signed off on arms sales to fatally as well of course because when boris johnson was born in sector g. he was approving licenses for bombs going over to riyadh he was approving sealable sorts of weapons really human so was jeremy hunt in fact earlier this year jeremy hunt was very publicly lobbying the german government to end its ban on arms exports to sagely in case it did u.k. arms companies and terms of where public opinion stands it's very clear on this issue poll after poll shows that all the well meaning majority of people in the u.k. are firmly opposed to beas arms deal but last my soul which was done when the train pins 100 settlement as a london vendor were only 6 percent

u.k. government significant amounting to around $4700000000.00 pounds since 2015 and the u.k. is the 2nd biggest exporter of all to riyadh's south to the united states it exports crofter nehgs poems and missiles well we've been speaking to cat 2 brought this case against the government but also to its solicitor who's told us that they will review now not just the u.k. government steals but also all the seals to saudi arabia from other countries this has been a brutal call damnation of u.k. foreign policy business in a very strong judgment against it we were. and to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing licenses and make the decisions they took to continue to grant licenses those decisions are unlawful and they have to go back and reconsider well in regards to the war in yemen it's estimated that the death toll direct deaths attributed to the war is now closing in on the 100000 people move while half of the country's 22000000 strong population is said to be in food inse

u.k. government but the war is not yet over this is a legal battle a huge precedent a huge victory for cats but the court of appeal has said the government now has to reassess its judgment in regards to supplying saudi arabia with arms in the future and it can also apply for a court of execution if it wants to continue selling those arms with billions of pounds to the u.k. economy of u.k. government though has been told today that it must also pay court fees back to catch up with more than a $130000.00 pounds but of course the u.k. government does have a right to appeal this decision and we're waiting to find out whether it intensity so yeah a huge development for them to. speed the record in london now story happening here no because we live the last hour or so russians nationwide right now road cycling president putin is direct this is the largest in the the issues that matter most to them so far health care living standards are dominated the usually lengthy queue in a matter of direct line to the presidency is called and we can have the if they get through of the one and a half 1000000 q

u.k. government suspends new arms sales to saudi arabia.

u.k. government in london he says the u.k. government won't be able to send further weapons until a review of previous sales is carried out. all of the weapons that are already with the military are we for so to military it means that we can't undo any of the damage which has already been done but right now as we're speaking there can very well be u.k. made fater jets flying over yemen it will be failing u.k. made missiles and dropping u.k. made bombs however big government is not able to send any further bombs and missiles until it has carried out a photo to view of the previous seals and certainly it's not a great band but it certainly is something which will not have been welcomed by the u.k. government who were fated to finial it will not have been welcomed by the so did it take to ship and it will have been very bad news for the arms companies because for decades now you say g.d.p. has been by far the largest buyer of u.k. weapons anywhere in the world. for the u.s. so this is trying to make it more difficult for president

u.k. government saudi arabia is said to have been with 4700000000 pounds that since 2015 in the u.k. government is said to be the 2nd largest exporter of arms to riyadh those arms that have been exported into and 12 thinking were made missiles and forms a report by the un back in 2018 suggesting that the use in might be used in populated areas actually account for 92 percent chance when it comes to civilians and injuries on civilians and it was talking about looking for better ways to use explosives by the military but we've also heard from captain reaction to this decision today and also the solicitor representing cats in court who's called now on other governments across the western world to rethink their arms sales to saudi arabia. those fighter jets and those baldwins have created be humanitarian catastrophe which yemen has endured for these last 4 years this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k. foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against we want to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions

u.k. government saudi arabia is said to have been 4700000000 pounds that since 2015 and the u.k. government is said to be the 2nd largest exporter of all means to riyadh those all means that have been exported into and prof think you made. forms and reports by the un back in 2018 suggesting that the use in the boys will be used in populated areas actually account for 90 percent tax when it comes to civilians and injuries on the civilians and it was talking about looking for better ways to use explosives by the military but we've also heard from cats in reaction to. this decision today this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k. foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against it we want to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing licenses and make the decisions they took to continue to grant licenses those decisions are a little full and they have to go back and reconsider well some estimates put direct deaths in the war in yemen close to 100000 people let's have

u.k. government and it comes just a week after the u.k. government also announced that it would not be allowing any new licenses of exports of arms sales to saudi arabia and to its coalition partners in the war in yemen that followed a decision by the court of appeal here in the u.k. that said that those arms sales had been a new fall again citing possible violations when it comes to human rights now despite that decision by the court and despite the fact that the government says it will look at that decision the prime minister to resign may insist questions on wednesday said that the u.k. government will look to appeal that decision. we continue to operate one of the most robust arms export control regimes in the world. and we take our responsibilities on arms export licensing very seriously we're disappointed that the court found against the government on one the ground and we will be seeking permission to appeal this judgment. so 2 cases of possible human rights violations let's took a look at the 2 together now let's start with hong kon

u.k. government has suspended exports of crowd control equipment like tear gas and rubber bullets to hong kong this is has been taken in response to the suppression of this month's protest in a chinese city state which saw millions demonstrating against the proposed extradition law. but we remain very concerned with the situation in hong kong and i raise those concerns with the chief executive on the 12th of june i today urged the hong kong assaye our government to establish a robust. independent investigation into the violent scenes that we saw and we will not issue any further export licenses for crowd control equipment to hong kong unless we are satisfied that concerns raised on human rights and fundamental freedoms have been fairly addressed that freeze on sales of police equipment to hong kong comes just 8 days after the u.k. was forced to suspend new weapons exports to saudi arabia that's over rears alleged abuses in yemen looking at the 2 cases and so apparent discrepancies here is charlotte dubinsky. it comes just a week after the u.k. government also announced that it would not b

u.k. government when it comes to lucrative weapon sales. britain along with western governments is very selective about those that it seeks out the situation with the arms sales to the us so days very different because the decision of the hong kong as one media by the british government in the question of the arms sales to sodhi and its call which in our eyes in the war against yemen this forward a court case where it was brought by the campaign against the arms trade and enjoy all and what we have you is the british being forced to the british government force to seize these arms sales to saudi arabia and the others but not wanting to do that one iota i think the british will do everything they can to overturn the court's decision and or to find a way around it because this alliance with saudi arabia is fundamentally important to the bridge to bring great britain p.l.c. they will do everything to maintain it even at the cost of $100000.00 yemeni date. the us democratic presidential hopeful elizabeth warren has proposed the nor that would a

u.k. government to reconsider that matter. the u.k. government as a result of the u.k. overnment has just do a review into how u.k. arms have been used and to take a view on how if so you do you foresee violated international humanitarian law and very devastating war in yemen the main result from today can't be any new licenses awarded going forward for excess is happening this isn't just a legal question it's also a political one and we have to make sure that this judgment is not cast to one side just because much political pressure on the government to act as possible the court has done its job today is taken for the government to do this. the latest figures show that the death toll in yemen's war is fast approaching 100000 you say that the u.k. government bears responsibility in this but what about the other countries that also sell weapons to saudi arabia and they're not just selling weapons to the saudi coalition they're also training personnel in yemen. oh absolutely if you arms industry is a global industry and its impacts are global and therefore of resistance to

u.k. government because the u.k. is the pin holder of the of the yemeni file in the security council and the think is it's not about raising concerns only how can i trust you and you still continue selling weapons stop selling their weapons and make it official. in fairness to the british government you know that the saudi arabian government has threatened to withdraw. security corporation as regards bombs on british streets if. you want to argument executive director of the world food program david beasley has claimed who was a diverting food aid from the hungry as people on earth that's the world food program will attacking there who sees and presumably in the same vein as you're talking about those opposed to the saudi bombing well the think is i believe because. it's always you that the who. is in the village interruption in this massive program is already on i know you raised it at the amman i met once she was the head of the world. foreign minister exactly i was talking about the corruption that happens on all

u.k. government they argued that british weapons are contributing to the human toll in yemen which has faced the saudi military campaign since 2015 court of appeal judges also criticised u.k. ministers for ignoring the.

u.k. made bombs however b. government is not able to send any further bombs and missiles until it has carried out afforded a view of the previous seals and certainly it's not great band but it certainly is something which will not have been welcomed by the u.k. government who will fight it tooth and nail it will not have been welcomed by the saudi dictatorship and it will have been very bad news for the arms companies because for decades and. has been by far the largest buyer of u.k. weapons anywhere in the world well staying with this you broadly the u.s. senate is trying to make it more difficult the president trying to push through arms sales without a congressional review another measure follows donald trump's multibillion dollar deal with saudi arabia and the u.a.e. which he described as an emergency measure to bypass the congress it's not clear when the full senate will take up the bill president trump has promised to veto it and a few moments we'll have the weather for you with everton of course but also still ahea

u.k. government when it comes to selling weapons. britain along with western governments is very selective about those that it seeks out the situation with the arm sales to days very different because the decision of the hong kong was one mead by the british government in the question of the arms sales to saudi and it's called wish in our eyes in the war against yemen this forward a court hearing it was brought by the campaign against the arms trade and in and what we have here is the british be forced to the british government forced to cease these arms sales to saudi arabia and the others but not wanting to do that one iota i've been the british will do everything they can to overturn the court's decision and or to find a way around it because this alliance with saudi arabia is fundamentally important to the british to bring great britain p.l.c. they will do everything to maintain it even at the cost of 100000 yemeni dates. the german government says it has lost a track of around 160 extremists who travel to syria and iraq to join

u.k. government they argued that british weapons are contributing to the human toll in yemen which has faced the saudi military campaign since 2015 court of appeal judges also criticised u.k. ministers for ignoring the risk to civilians when signing arms deals with riyadh really now puts pressure on downing street to suspend those agreements the un says that the yemeni conflict is the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world. a spokesperson for the campaign against arms trade told is the ruling will not stop the u.k. selling arms to riyadh. well the court decision has blocked future arms sales but it hasn't stopped the previous arms sales and as well as licensees it would be working under don't send the correct but be wouldn't stop its arms sales by china anyway because he has had a long inching bull and disgraceful history of arming and supporting the site for decades despite repression and. people and despite the appalling atrocities which it has committed against the people yemen no surprise that the government is intending to appeal because the government has spent decades army and

u.k. government in london he says the u.k. government won't be able to send further weapons until a review of previous sales is carried out. all the weapons that are already with this side of the military are with society military means that we can't do anything damage which is already been done but right now as we're speaking there will be u.k. made fighter jets flying over yemen who will be fighting u.k. made missiles and dropping you came made bombs however government is not able to send any further bombs and missiles until it has carried a afforded a view of the previous failed certainly it's not done but it certainly is something which will not have been welcomed by the u.k. government who will fight tooth and nail it will not have been welcomed by the side of the dictatorship and that will have been very bad news for the arms companies because for decades now you say g.d.p. or has been by far the largest buyer of u.k. weapons anywhere in the world. the u.s. senate is trying to make it more difficult for president trying t

u.k. government just keep seeing no it's not the time forever. you've got nowhere there's nowhere else to go just it will never happen and we all grew old and die before we ever have a 2nd independence referendum so there are only 2 i've been used that i can see one of them being and an arrangement with perhaps a labor government that doesn't have a majority and would be prepared to concede a referendum in exchange for support or we go the legal route i don't think the strategy or just asking over and over again until the until the cave of the canucks of their hearts is ever going to get anywhere so one way or another you determine that the game should be a food once again in scotland another referendum another test so can we anticipate another. oh you certainly can yeah i mean that's again that's still the whole point of going to wings over scotland is to get to a referendum and have another go another we believe we can people's hands that we will be printing this time so 4 to 5 times as many as we did the last time because i think it's very pow

u.k. government under tony blair. but the talks failed and the british gaza closed down its offices in israel. when the british and us thought it says that israel has the palestinians to run some have been on the gaza many universes that would have meant there was a freedom of information act that was submitted with their u.k. government by an organization i think tank called a shop aca which is a palestinian virtual think tank the freedom of information documents that have come out actually showed that israel had commercial reasons and it said that they would not allow palestinians to access their resources until the palestinians can guarantee that they would sell gas to israel at about a 3rd of the price of the gas on the international markets so they were essentially seeking or trying to force the past. about $2.00 per hour and then b.t.u. rather than $65.00 to $7.00 which is where was the price of gas at the time and for b.g. which is a private company that wouldn't have been profitable so essentially there was no
