u.k. office good afternoon just bring us up to date then what else is being said in the british media. well andrew as the world cup gets nearer and nearer it seems of that it's been scaremongering galore in the british tabloids and some of them here in the u.k. essentially sending out one main message which seems to be just don't go or else now the latest that we have is indeed stories about how allegedly death threats are being sent to the community about traveling to the world cup in russia but this is far from the first time these kinds of stories are being talked about in the build up to this massive sporting event we've certainly seen previously lots and lots of headlines such as about russia going to unleash hooligans on the ground how they're thought gish russian police that are threats when you get there talk about potentially being whipped by horsemen also some of the headline talk about racists in russia as well as hackers potentially breaking into founds phones when they are on the ground but while all of this has been unraveling in the british press officials on both sides really both here and in russia have been saying that there's

u.k. good afternoon to you paula the story surrounding this apology does seem to be pretty controversial doesn't it. there's been a lot of reporting on the story not that much background detail on the man at the center of it. bell had she is now a prominent libyan politician but while moammar gadhafi was still in power he was a prominent anti gadhafi opposition leader and a leading member of an anti gadaffi militia as well which is called the libyan islamic fighting group the l i f g that would explain why he fled libya back in two thousand and one just a little bit more information about this group the ally f. g. it operated from one thousand nine hundred five until last year it was considered an al qaeda affiliate and the group stage three attempts to assassinate gadhafi himself so pretty violent organization so much so that it was regarded as a terrorist group by the u.k. and the u.s. nevertheless despite his checkered past shall we say and his wife have been on a quest for an apology from the british government ever since he was released from prison six years ago and documents discovered aft

army soldier a former master nouri by the name of james messire yeah and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue we spoke to political analyst mike ryder you who's been to syria himself he told us the case against the white helmets is abundantly clear.

army soldier a former master nouri by the name of james messire yeah and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue we spoke to political analyst mike rather who's been to syria himself he told us the locals view the activities of the white helmets group with serious distrust. british people have something serious to consider here unless they've been sealed in a medically sealed bubble of the mainstream media or they haven't read a book in their lives they must have their doubts about this group now there's been enough written about them people that we spoke to in aleppo last year they called them al nusra is far bigger i'd most people would not actually heard of them this year in aleppo we had one man say that they were bad actors so the so there they have a reputation of being of doing the staged rescues. but the revelations from people in east kuta that were of been liberated just dissin the past month shed more defender is lloyd on this group i think the people in england sho

u.k. plays in that. doesn't seem like the europeans that it's going to offset the role from a defense perspective. any thoughts of how the brexit approach the national diplomatic side. ed: one of the reason i'm not a fan, they haven't thought through all these scenarios. they relied on very general sort of statements like britain is going to have trade deals. stephen: in terms of the commonwealth. would that save them? jennifer: 42% of exports go to the e.u. and none of the commonwealth countries are among britain's trading partners. ed: britain exports more to ireland than any of the commonwealth combined. that is a fantasy. there is a u.s.-u.k. trade deal that trump will do the heavy lifting on the side of the atlantic and negotiate it. but it would a deal acceptable to the british public. what would american interests advising the u.s. want with a deal with the u.k. things like colorin ated chicken and a national religious symbol and allowing more contracting out and outsourcing. it would be easy to demagog this d

u.k. like the bits of multiculturalism that make their lives nicer like for instance for food but nowadays it seems foreign people are not anything like as popular pieces lived in the u.k. for twelve years and regards himself just as much british as polish but recently he took his kids to the park where they were given a stark reminder of how some in this country view outsiders one boy which was some of them yourself english only. he was very. is a nine year old boy yeah yeah i think it came from his parents officials it istic from the british government show a steady rise in racial or religious li aggravated offenses over the last five years showing peaks for instance of the shirley abdo shootings in paris they didn't over three thousand incidents a month but between april two thousand and sixteen when the bricks at referendum campaign began and july twenty sixth seen just after the u.k. voted to leave incidents shot up peaking at over five and a half thousand a month. the abuse that some europeans gotten immediately after the referendum results made headlines at the time but the link wasn't made

u.k. about thein ukraine journalist seems to be more bizarre than we thought it was. was a ukrainian secret service operation. i don't know the details. jane: i haven't read the tweets. on thosellivan: issues, we need to beat half. that is why we have kept transatlantic unity on the sanctions. we keep a very strong transatlantic common position about ukraine and the process. on the other hand, there are times when we need to cooperate. find some common ground. we need russia to be a permanent member of the security council. there is always going to be the slightly ambivalent approach. you can't -- you can't see it as black and white. excellent friends with russia or permanent confrontation with no possibility everything out and trying to find common ground on issues where this can still be useful. this the furniture approach which is perhaps not intellectually satisfying, but it is the only way we will go forward. jane: as everyone in this audience knows, we talk to russia all during the cold war. or i guess, the soviet union during the cold water we have an active pr

army soldier a former master nouri by the name of james missouri yeah and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue. around it and i world cup fever is hotting up with a little over a month to go before the event does kick off here in russia earlier today we had the chance to quiz the president of lokomotiv moscow about the tournament his team is just secured the russian premier league title for only the third time and the pride president brought the trophy with him. firstly look congratulations your team the champions of russia has the trophy to prove it to you how does it feel thank you andrew well it's for the absolutely fantastic for us and you know it from suede for for fourteen years this title and now we're also the british now look we're sitting here just thirty five days away from the world cup been around the stadiums of russia how do you perceive russia and its and the prospects for the world cup i think my personal opinion obviously we're in the you know is this small

british army soldier a former master by the name of james messire yeah and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue. spring mike randy's a political analyst and coeditor of the online media site b s news for you can even see mike what's britain's interest in funding supporting the white helmet still we know. well they're not just a propaganda construct as john pilger says the this is a concept that will be used is being used again not just in syria we've seen by elements in venezuela as far afield as the philippines and they're there to provide a false pretext that's essentially what they're there for it's it is propaganda and the people that we spoke to in aleppo last year they call them was fire brigade most people did not actually heard of them this year in aleppo we had one man sorry they were bad actors so the so there they have a reputation of being of doing the staged rescues. but the revelations from people in east kuta there were been liberated just dissin the past month

british army soldier a former master by the name of james mystery yet and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue. news of that's coming your way in half an hour's time see them. when lawmakers manufacture consent to consistency of public will. when the remain close is to protect them so. when the flame of clear your own lives and neither will most of the. time we can all middle of the room sit. to listen to the real musicians. who. are trapped away is anti american and anti-democratic and we can look at that quite plainly by understanding the stock price approach rather it was that response so it's trading i think there are three hundred thousand dollars a share so the message from charlie munger and warren buffett to americans is unless you've got three hundred thousand dollars to buy one share of berkshire hathaway you're a player you're a peasant here you know they are the neo feudal lords that are building the system milking the system abusing the system and aggregating we

u.k. central bank being a hawk among doves. there are a few reasons to do that. .t's a delicate point in time it's unlikely it seems the u.k. bank will go to the hawkish side. mark: what does that mean for sterling? it's down by at least 5% from its highs in april but reached levels it hadn't seen since the day of the referendum in june 2016. the sterling have much further to fall? burkhard: it's probably oversold and there's more room to recover but bear in mind the ultimate tocome for sterling is tied the outcome of the brexit talks. much speculation in sterling into we get more clarity on how brexit will be resolved. the flipside of sterling is the dollar which earlier today hit its highest is december last year. guests suggesting that the dollars rebound won't last. do you concur? this recent rebound in the dollars fortunes is only a temporary thing? burkhard: it doesn't seem like a temporary rebound more than a lasting one. the deficit won't go away. whatever comes out of those trade discussions, the u.s. will continue to have the largest trade account deficit. government deficits will continue to balloon. the weakness

certainly andrew as the world cup is just around the corner it seems to be scaremongering galore from some of the tabloid newspapers here in the u.k. centrally spreading the message of don't go or else and discussing all sorts of possible horrific scenarios that could take place among the one of just many of the latest stories being discussed are legit death threats being made against the community and this is by far not the first time that something like this is being discussed we've seen headlines talking about things such as russia about to unleash its hooligans how the police are quote thuggish in russia how there is a threat of being whipped by cossack horseman during the world cup this summer as well as talk of racism in hunkers potentially breaking into your phones through wife when you're there as a fan and while all of this whipping up a frenzy is unraveling we've been hearing officials from both sides really in russia as well as here in the u.k. say that everything is going to be ok among those people was britain's top football police chief who was speaking at a foreign affairs select committee hearing who said basically

where we are getting phenomenal employment rates and yet it does not seem like it's eating through the wage growth. jamie: in the u.kwe had an inrmous boost to employment the labor statistics so in that sense it's very similar to the u.s.. , it is takingde its time to come through. the phillips curve is still there and functioning. of slowst a long period wage gain has been influencing expectations so take a while for expectations to recalibrate. vonnie: what is the consensus for u.k. inflation and when will that change? how soon will we know what kind of impact that will have? brexitthe main impact of as already happened on inflation. we are starting to see that fade as the influence disappears. the big risk worried about inflation is that if there is no deal reached, we can expect the and thetion of tariffs pound would depreciate further. we would get another inflation shock. nejra: bloomberg economic does expect the boe to hike in august based on the data. i want to ask you about oil. brent crude at $79 a barrel in the session. you've got a piece out about oil at $100 and what it would mean for growth. how would

u.k. are started asking questions of course there would be contact between the personnel and the victims so it seems that. it raises more questions on how the agent was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. fortunately the surgeon bailey who was also exposed he actually contacted scruples for just about several minutes but the personnel who dealt. with that exposed a lot of cases are described in the literature scientific literature medical literature how people even after very strong export to even to chemical real chemical weapons. real. military grade agents people were treated rightly after they were exposed and they are recovered fully in the with the first antidote is there is no question so would be used in any case the second to do it is difficult to select so then the people would be pulled into the they would be sedated very heavily to make sure. brynn wooden. send signals to nervous system in with. therapy would be weeded. the body would replace the. poisoned. with newly formed so it usually takes several weeks to several months but that's exactly what we've seen. now the budg

u.k. . i. was led by a movement called. the similar event seems wrote eighty thousand people showed up this time which is twice the number that the organizers were expecting i can september twenty fourth you may recall scotland voted to remain in the united kingdom but then the better together campaign winning by fifty five percent to forty five according to jonathan shafi from the radical independents combine support for independents has risen dramatically since then. what's fascinating about steve's demonstration. by. the style bush. was. something that few minutes used to link the big. the school does the gabbert to march through the day so that tells you something that gives you an indication of the feeling in the country not only for another effort in them and making their support for another referendum but actually being will you be willing to teach the streets to make their point to reduce their voices in favor of referendum i think it's safe enough to change the saying of things to come. bills in the state of illinois might soon have to ch

u.k. like the bits of multiculturalism that make their lives nicer like for instance for food but nowadays it seems foreign people are not anything like as popular. peter's lived in the u.k. for twelve years and regards himself just as much british as polish but recently he took his kids to the park where they were given a stark reminder of how some in this country view outsiders one boy which was some of them is also english. he was very. soon nine year old boy yeah yeah i think it came from his parents officials it istic from the british government show a steady rise in racial or religious lee aggravated offenses over the last five years showing peaks for instance of the shah yep those shootings in paris they didn't over three thousand incidents a month but between april two thousand and sixteen when the bricks and referendum campaign began and july twenty sixth seen just after the u.k. voted to leave incidents shot up peaking at over five and a half thousand a month. the abuse that some europeans go to majorly after the referendum results made headlines at the time but the link wasn't made betwe

u.k. also has fought inquiries into its role in yemen and they seems to be opposition from various parts of the international community to investigate these abuses that are committed in in yemen. definitely i think the europeans should investigate the explorer early on fortunately in the birds at least in terms of soldiers on the ground now be working hand in glove with the. u.s. forces the intelligence agencies look both film reviews work together very closely and certainly then the u.s. is in pretty absolutely richer over one hundred because it's a billion we. just. heard can. i must point out here that the u.s. officials been in war on. at least we're proud of the years it's my me you know or at least then being in a war zone that not exonerate if you from following meters and the army will go through all who have made it risky to american law oak war or groupie or any of these laws that were being injured on the rock earlier we should not be you've been through years of that sort ok i'm just going to give the last word to a christine christine i know you think we're a long way from an a

u.k. and eu should address this. forward, we seem to be taking a step back. to be intractable problem. this? going to >> yes. it is tied up in the customs union question and that got a lot more airing in the house of commons. they throw a back in the government's face and the plan in eu and to be honest, it doesn't look like they need a the customs union has to be part of this border solution to allow the frictionless transaction that everyone is used to and simply borders exist and our between france and switzerland. this and we have the this tradeow does around? an interest in degrees of certainty and we will be interested in the agreements and conversations we are having around the customs union and i think that there may be a vote to keep the u.k. within a that is hown and andesa may guides are mps it is positive for sterling. we talk with a negative for sterling and we could be looking for another general election. and wer-term is positive down bythis was shot the gdp figure and we're looking at this for the end of the year. at this forwe look is theys i

u.k. plays into that. we've seen in the most recent german defense budget, defense spending down. so it doesn't seem like the europeans are necessarily, necessarily anticipating even if the u.k. is pulling out of the that it is going to offset , their role from a defense perspective. any thoughts, ed, matthew, on approache brexiteers the kind of national security, diplomatic side of the equation? >> i'm a columnist, so i'm allowed to give my opinion and i'm not a fan of brexiteers. one of the reasons i'm not a fan of brexiteers, they have not thought through these scenarios. they relied on very general statements of hope, that britain will strike trade deals with the commonwealth, whatever that is, in economic terms. >> jennifer, in terms of the commonwealth, would that save them in any way? >> no. 42% of all of the u.k.'s exports go to eu and none of the top commonwealth countries are their -- among britain's top trading partners. >> britain exports more to than the rest of the rest of the commonwealth. >> yep. >> that there is a what i call a fantasy. there is the idea that there will be a u.s.-uk

army soldier a former mercenary by the name of james mercer and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.s. and by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue of course when it is our reporting live from london thank you. and finally this hour u.s. president donald trump has made good on his threats this time pulling out of the iran nuclear deal he's also vowed to reimpose the toughest sanctions on tehran. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the agreement to restrict iran's nuclear energy program the crowning achievement of the obama white house has finally been terminated by the donald today's action sends a critical message the united states no longer makes empty threats when i make promises i keep them but how much impact is this really having only one country the united states is withdrawing and the ryann doesn't seem particularly worried i have ordered the ministry of foreign affairs to negotiate with and lobby the european countries as well as russia and china and to

u.k. national security adviser disclosing the fact that no suspects have been identified in the poisoning but given the fact that the case seems to be based on the assumption of guilty until proven innocent many outlets ran that statement alongside the line that police were urgently reviewing the security of other defected russian spies in the country once again implying moscow's guilt despite a lack of even one suspect after two months and while clearly none of these details are enough to prove russia's innocence at the same time nothing we've seen or heard up till now is enough to prove its guilt either despite the uncertainty over the screwball poisoning the u.k. still blames russia in a statement to this channel the british foreign office repeated its claims that only moscow had the technical means on the motive to target the screwballs we spoke to former u.k. intelligence officer charles shewbread should about the contradictory data coming from the global chemical weapons watchdog short on many of the or stylish when we first saw this interview appeared with the chief of the. one can look at that and say well ok it's very

people lots of people shouting at the moment around me but in general it seems to be a pretty cold and controlled rally here in the u.k. . ok let's hope it stays that way or thanks to both that was in a day or two difference there in london or so you can see there on the right in paris thank you. i may day rallies have been seen around the world to where there were celebrations in some countries and others process as we've seen and more aggressive methods have been used by some people to vent their feelings about government policy. in fact in turkey here today is may day rally in istanbul did turn ugly when different groups of protesters clashed police made a number of arrests. here with r.t. we're going to take a quick break now we'll be back in a couple. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest kill people. but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach with all we with you and all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets busted w

u.k. and eu will look like after brexit. mark: the man who seems have power with the conservatives, some say future leader, is he being naughty and stirring the pot? or is this a serious ultimatum? clear to theresa may that, if she stays close to the eu, in the customs arrangement, it betrays the cause of brexit. he could consider withdrawing support for her government. it is all about the math. jacob commands 62 conservative lawmakers, that is enough to trigger a leadership challenge. not enough to win a leadership challenge. withdraw support from the government and not support their legislation, that will have an impact on theresa may because she does not have a majority and needs him and his lawmakers. up forcing her into the arms of jeremy corbyn because the parliamentary arithmetic will favor a customs union. a double bluff all around. jacob rees mark is way up, just how powerful he is and he can make threats. there are things he can do but unintended consequences which one could be a general election. parliament that for -- support vonnie: ho

u.k. good afternoon polly some good news then i guess going to power has been discharged but what else do we know at this point it doesn't seem an awful lot. well yeah in regards to him not that much the medical team at the hospital has said that he is going to be continuing his recovery outside of souls redistrict hospital and in terms of his location now that's a closely guarded secret we can assume he's been whisked off to a safe house much like his daughter. was when she was discharged from the same hospital about a month ago and at the time she put out a statement saying that she didn't want any contact with the russian consular services she was appealing for privacy that was put out via the british police and despite being a russian citizen she officially rejected russian consulate help she's been kept well away from the public eye and from the glare of the media and i think we can expect something very similar to happen in relation to her father going forward artie's requests for interviews and statements with. the new script i'll have all been denied throughout the hospital stay that they had and i don't think we're g

what seems to be sticking at the moment in the markets mind is a weakening pattern for u.k. data. d you characterize that weaker data? will: there is some residual seasonality. it seems that for the past four years it's been a little bit stronger than q1. however, the april pmi's came out. they were weaker. that's what you saw kick out the may rate hike possibility. now people are wondering, how are they going to guide to august. the economy is bubbling along a little bit. the way we characterize it is if is gettingconomy increasingly noisier, we might sit outside a little bit. a brilliant metaphor. have a look at this. pound to goor the back into the party? it looks like we have a base put in here. we have to watch how they talk about august. is a going to be a hawkish hold? are you going to leave the possibility open but the probabilities roughly unchanged. it's difficult. atif you look at the economy the time, on the consumer side of things, things are going to get better. it should get easier. we will look for all those things. coming up, we will hear more from our exclusive in
