bahamian government but rather the sixty's you see countries plus their allies the united kingdom and the united states and i think to the most part we've been proven correct in that you know the united kingdom the united states continue to sell arms to the bahraini government and they continue to some extent to prop up the monarchy and behind a lot of the deck is stacked against you when you were on the show two years ago and twenty sixteen you said you wouldn't call. but here in the arab spring protests a quote failed uprising you said change would happen and it would happen either through a very violent situation coming about because of the repression or international pressure forcing the government to quote do the right thing neither of those things have happened in the intervening period you know except when you like an aunt has been a failure of the uprising no i don't because if you look at once the fourteenth of february the seventh year anniversary of the behind uprising and the amount of protests that happened around the country i think is even more evidence that the people of but i will cont

united states in the united kingdom are observing these events as they go on but at this point we really don't have enough information to draw any clear conclusions about who is behind this or what the purpose of these suspicious envelopes really is at this point we're still waiting for the truth to come out. and you wouldn't usually expect a classic two hundred story about a family of rabbits to spot a boy called but a new hollywood version out this month has already got people riled i just need to keep the wildlife out where they belong there to write. these. traps and. he put. his face was so classic he was not. this is peter rabbit it's a modern twist on the beatrix potter but there's one scene in particular the parent that shows the rabbits attacking the human ox nemesis by throwing black berries at him but he's allergic and starts choking having to inject himself to stave off a dangerous reaction that's led some parents to call for a boycott of the movie claiming that it makes light of a serious issue and could encourage bullying the astronaut of the foundation of america has also hit back. sony pictures has apologized for the scene and its admitted being insensitive we got reaction from the president of the other g. foundation as well as a schoolteacher and political analyst for their thoughts. we believe that food allergies are a very serious condition again two people die daily from life threatening allergies and there are probably two children in every classroom with this condition so making fun of it taunting bullying in any fashion due to a disability or a medical condition like in a flock those is simply unacceptable what wait a minute why does that assume bullying but what why do we assume that the consequence of showing this in the film is going to be bullying look we believe that again we understand you know that movies are to entertain but we just simply do not believe that entertainment should include harming another person making fun of one because of that disability or because of that condition or you know taunting or even putting them in that life threatening situation and making fun of it is really we believe irresponsible they're watching these rabbits ganging up on mcgregor and throwing what they actively know is an allergen into his mouth and then celebrating that and i don't think that that's ok in the moral of the story from beatrix potter is original intent was to show that it's important to obey your parents and that that will lead to a healthy prosperous life and that if peter rabbit indeed disobeyed and it snuck into the garden with my dog we could just simply not take our children the movies we feel are inappropriate for them and furthermore the idea that we assume that this is going to lead to bullying is a false premise it's a false dichotomy i agree everyone has the have their own right to take their children to the movies that they choose to see if you choose to take your child to this movie that's your choice i simply hope that you'll use that to elevate the conversation and a positive way. around food allergy awareness prepares ness and anti bowling behavior the big issue here is that hollywood license and hollywood values are not necessarily going to reflect those of the larger viewing public it is these are ways we deal with the problems and by laughing at our own problems and our own challenges we actually can encourage education about them rather than discourage bullying i think bullying is a misplaced focus here you know what's a god say north korea's reissued its threats against the united states off to washington revised its nuclear weapons policy more on that when we come back. what poses to you so. they put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. so when you want to express an injury. or some want to be that's. what you going to be this is what the three of them will be good. interested always in the long. welcome back north korea has renewed its threats against the united states in response to a new nuclear policy the washington unveiled earlier this month pyongyang says it increases the risk of a nuclear war adding that those fond of fire will perish in flames which might be a reference to donald trump's threat made back in august they will be met with fire fury. like the world has ever seen donald trump's nuclear posture review the first rethink of u.s. policy of its kind in seven years includes an option to unleash nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear attack it also calls for the development of less powerful weapons which critics say might

united states in the united kingdom are observing these events as they go on but at this point we really don't have enough information to draw any clear conclusions about who is behind this or what the purpose of these suspicious envelopes really is at this point we're still waiting for the truth to come out. the u.s. military says it destroyed a syrian government tank on sunday in self defense it's among all world news still ahead when we come back. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the sixty's. we only show i go out of my way to find you know a lot of the really packed a punch in the john oliver of marquee americans do the same we are apparently better than that see heard of love jack the next president of the world bank they. were. seriously send us an e-mail. on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you that the gossip the public but i shall . tell you. by. all the hawks that we along the gulf will want. to get more of the world's global news now the pentagon has confirmed that it destroyed a pro-government tank in a drum strike in eastern syria on sunday calling it an act of self defense. we didn't song the to. be continued to me so we did you consult of the rules of engagement to protect ourselves in the movie that was something that we always have the right to do a major do that no u.s. military personnel coalition forces were killed in the strike of the weekend comes less than a week after another major clash with pro-government forces such incidents could result in a dangerous escalation in the region as some may recall reports the pentagon says that it was an act of self-defense accusing syrian forces of trying to attack kurdish forces but apparently with u.s. forces embedded they were forced to respond now on wednesday the u.s. said it carried out defensive airstrikes in retaliation for what they saw as an unprovoked attack but according to reports more than a hundred fighters aligned with the syrian government were killed in the air strike now this latest escalation is definitely something to worry about on all sides especially considering that the syrian conflict spin a largely perceived as a fight against terror well against isis in particular which is almost wiped out but it's also opened way to a whole series of new conflicts we have the turkish kurdish conflict the tensions between israel and iran but even though isis is pretty much gone the u.s. is still wants to stay in syria with the secretary tillerson announcing plans to maintain an open ended military presence in the country some two thousand troops or so to prevent a resurgence of isis and to counter iran's influence. but surprisingly the u. . this isn't the only one the french president said that france will attack if they find proof that chemical weapons were used against civilians promising to strike where chemical shipments originated and the escalate and such an. interest why and the military situation with all of these forces very close to each other in a medium sized country but in regions that are actually rather small regions then the possibility of the things spiraling out of control are very very real and does not have to begin with the intervention or the decision to intervene or escalate on the part and one party was perfect it could have been the climbing of the escalation ladder is sometimes called can happen without the intent being at the beginning and either side to have a larger scale war but a product of that claiming that escalation letter can be a larger war the current us administration is known for shying away from proclaiming its military might but last week it tried to show that it was lagging behind its perceived adversaries some analysts say that a chart on nuclear delivery systems presented by defense secretary jim mattis might be worthy of a fact check if the charts it makes it look like the us has quite a modest austin home but it doesn't show some of the missiles that washington has under development or upgrades to their existing stockpile plus it puts countries on the same scale despite some key differences in the weapons that they actually hold . the head of the nuclear watchdog the los alamos study group told us that some u.s. politicians consider nuclear weapons a political tool to be used against russia and china there are those in the u.s. government who would like to increase the nuclear military capability of the united states now some of that is just posturing on their part and i wouldn't say that this is necessarily a majority view the actual military is not for the most part that interested in nuclear weapons but there is a faction which is at the moment very powerful that you thinks nuclear weapons are an important symbolic tool for increasing pressure. of the russia and china secretary mathes was using the chart to auggie for increased investments in america's defense budget however it seems that it already outstrips its rivals it is pleased to welcome secretary of defense on a bold james madison no strategy could survive as you pointed out without the funding necessary. and insufficient funding in funding for the military sustained investment budget investment in the budget for military budgets funded and supported most nato

united states in the united kingdom are observing these events as they go on but at this point we really don't have enough information to draw any clear conclusions about who is behind this or what the purpose of these suspicious envelopes really is at this point we're still waiting for the truth to come out. now you wouldn't usually expect a classic children's story about a family of rabbits to spark a boy called bud a new hollywood version i wish month already go people. i just need to keep the wildlife out where they belong you're so right. he's going to go. this is peter rabbit it's a modern twist on the beatrix potter tale but there's one scene in particular that since fury aging parents it shows the rabbits attacking the human analysis by throwing blackberries at it but he's allergic to them and starts choking having to inject himself to stave off a dangerous reaction would lead some parents to call for a boycott of the movie claiming that it makes light of a serious issue and could encourage bullying. and allergy foundation of america has also hit back sony pictures has apologized for the saying we got reaction from the president of the other g. foundation as well as a schoolteacher and a political analyst for the thoughts. well we believe that food allergies are a very serious condition again to people die daily from life threatening allergies and there are approximately two children in every classroom with this condition so making fun of it taunting bullying in any fashion due to a disability or a medical condition like in a flock of those is simply unacceptable what wait a minute why does that assume bullying why do we assume that the consequence of showing this in the film is going to be bullying look we believe that again we understand you know that movies are to entertain but we just simply do not believe that entertainment should include harming another person making fun of one because of that disability or because of that condition or you know taunting or even putting them in that life threatening situation and making fun of it is really we believe irresponsible you know. they're watching these rabbits ganging up on mcgregor and throwing what they actively know is an allergen into his mouth and then celebrating that and i don't think that that's ok and i mean we can just simply not take our children the movies we feel are inappropriate for them. and furthermore the idea that we assume that this is going to lead to bullying is a false premise it's a false dichotomy i agree everyone has the had their own right to take their children to the movies they choose to see if you choose to take your child to this movie that's your choice i simply hope that you'll use that to elevate the conversation in a positive way around food allergy awareness preparing miss an anti bullying behavior the big issue here is that hollywood license and hollywood values are not necessarily going to reflect those of the larger viewing public and it's incumbent on parents and it's their responsibility to decide not only what their children see in theaters but to explain it to them and to give them proper context if parents are bringing their kids to the theater and seeing this movie it's him it's you know it's a good conversation to have with them because it is important for kids to recognize that this behavior is not ok as a teacher in a school. bullying is something you know that is talked about a lot and seen in many different different ways and when you know these types of. messages continue to happen in movies it's you know really making it challenging as educators. the u.s. military says it destroyed a syrian government tank on sunday in self defense it's among all both you still ahead when we come back.

united states in the united kingdom are observing these events as they go on but at this point we really don't have enough information to draw any clear conclusions about who is behind this or what the purpose of these suspicious envelopes really is at this point we're still waiting for the truth to come out. reports in the media that the american led coalition and syria's killed dozens of russian mercenaries and raise the specter of a direct u.s. russia confrontation maybe well because no responded to those claims. russian citizens might be in syria but they don't belong to russia some forces over if they do remain russian citizens once again we are calling on everyone not to follow in times to move on in time to move forward from formation and take a serious approach and describing such an important issue to me because also suggested all media sources to reach out to russia's defense ministry to various five facts before publishing and asked for the us side the world there has been no confirmation coming from the air on the contrary the u.s. defense secretary said that he has a no information that a nice russian army servicemen were and the casualties following the u.s. air strikes now a number of reports first appeared on different social media platforms last week suggesting that anywhere from several dozens to up to several hundred russian mercenaries were killed in syria and the reports of russian casualties were very quickly picked up by different international media sources including the bloomberg c.n.n. and the daily mail the new york times and many others so as it stands for now there has been no confirmation provided to regarding the story of when we could go pro-government forces in syria or by the u.s. led coalition in the euphrates river you may recall that coalition said the time was responding to the provoked attack on the syrian democratic forces h.q. the fight to the government here will you look at pictures of some of the survivors being treated at a local hospital. three has been speaking in north korea has renewed its threats against the u.s. in response to a new nuclear policy that washington of elderly this month pyongyang says it increases the risk of a nuclear war that. would perish in flames as the rhetoric goes there which might be a reference to donald trump's threat made buck last august. they will be met with fire. like the world has never see. trump's nuclear posture review which is the first rethink of u.s. policy of its kind in seven years includes an option to unleash nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear attack that's new it also calls for the development of less powerful weapons again that's new critics say that could trigger a new arms race but pentagon officials appear to be showing that the u.s. is actually liking behind its perceived stories in order to secure more funding for the u.s. defense budget to counter russia and china you can see demonstrated in this chart the nuclear delivery system development over the last eight years shows numerous advances by russia by china and by north korea version of the near absence of such activity by the united states. they want to shake money loose for new weapons systems and they want to break the taboo against new weapon systems that has gradually built up to do that they have to paint it essentially faults and alarming picture about the u.s. keep it. all of these with respect to other countries that it was an embarrassment but it happened the actual military is not for the most part that interested in nuclear weapons but there is a faction which is at the moment very powerful that you thinks nuclear weapons are an important symbolic tool for increasing pressure. russia and china. these the city of boston the facing a barrage of criticism for the choice of person to warn a black history month that picked a white baseball coach who promoted black players. and around six thirty tonight p.p.d. post a tweet saying in honor of black history month we pay tribute to celtics legend red are back the first n.b.a. coach to draft a black player in one nine hundred sixty. zero zero world your couldn't

there are higher interest rates in the united states in the united kingdom that will play into that numberis very important. over six hundred billion pounds in 2017 that will not be there in 2019. vonnie: that was the barclays ceo earlier today. if, the 10 year treasury will hit 3% of -- will hit 3%? we are determining whether the three decade bond bull market will continue. if it really all about the 3%? there is positioning around the 3% level. 2.95% we hit yesterday. that is the level to watch. the psychological 3% is what is going to be focused on next. when it comes to fixed income, having run numbers means a lot. two-year.25% on a auction earlier this week, which had a buzz on twitter. we have been waiting for that for years. we are seeing some other crucial levels passing 3%, around the high marks from 2011. what are the parts when you look -- puts when you look at the open interest on the two-year yield? >> we are probably headed to 3% next. at the close yesterday, it would likely might get there in the asian session, that we bounced back. once we get to 3%, it is an open question

partnerships, you see the united states is actually well behind countries, peer including countries regarded as more left of center than the united states, including france, the united kingdom, australia, canada. i think there are ways, and certainly things we can learn from other countries on how to do this that are in the united states. we have not done some of the projects, particularly in airports, that we have seen in other countries work really well, in the u.s. the white house proposal does do a little bit to address that. a proposed expanding and reforming the airport privatization pilot program. i would say, you look around the rest of the world, the private sector is much more involved in public infrastructure in those countries than in the u.s. host: we are joined by kevin degood and marc scribner. we are breaking down the president's infrastructure plan. spent a lot of time talking about some shortcomings that you both see in this plan. is there stuff in it that you like? guest: no. host: marc? guest: i like the added flexibility and financing support, but i would say my overall impression is on that, negative. host: kevin is calling in on our independent line f

topics relevant both to the united states and the united kingdom.nes. it is about an integrative approach that mps have ta ken about an integrative approach that mps have taken and it is no coincidence they are here giving it. of course, we will have more details of that media session for you from dc throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. brexit secretary david davis has dismissed the impact assessments, those economic impact assessments which were published earlier this week which predict how different regions of the uk will fare economically after britain leaves the eu. there were lots of scenarios within them. he has also reacted to the word from brussels, the threat saying it will restrict access to the single market during the transition period if there is some kind of disagreement which involves the european court ofjustice. there are two things going on here. mr davies addressing two of these things. interesting to note how he has responded. let's return to our political correspondent to tell us more about it in westminster. 0ne more

ten million to twenty million pounds or dollars help in yemen either through united kingdom government or through united states as they call it usa and this is actually. as they say sold into injury that you kill these people and you make money from it and then you get one percent into total support yemenis and i've just seen i think a week ago that was her account of the u.k. ambassador to yemen who has never been to yemen during the war he's based in the rain and riyadh and he was saying about two. embassy is doing to collect money for yemeni and they have collected about two to three thousand pounds. to eight yemeni just imagine three thousand pound yemeni to help them and the media and the united kingdom on as well the u.k. government is only folks in about this few thousand pounds that they are given into yemen and they keep in a blind eye about like billions of dollars they are make an improv it from supporting the saudi and this is really really sickening yemeni people because it's a symbol if you want to help yemeni people stop supporting the saudi just just like that we don't need your aid we don't ne

united states -- i should also add, the united kingdom and france, supply for european defense. in the middle east, obviously, we are working -- we work -- i work in the administration and i continue to work on trying to enforce nonproliferation norms. we don't want to see nuclear weapons spreading any more than they have unfortunately over the last couple of decades. >> host: travis on the democrat line in vermont. >> caller: hi. good morning. first of all, mr. moniz, i want to thank you and commend you for your work in negotiating and securing the iran nuclear deal. secondly, my question has to do with your former role as energy secretary. i was wondering if you can speak to the risk to the electrical grid that solar flairs pose? and do you feel that hardening out electrical grid to solar events should be a priority. >> guest: well, let me say, first of all, more broadly, i think that hardening the grid, if you like, i would say making it more resilient against a number of threats, you mixed solar flares and extreme circumstances those certainly are an issue, but i'd like to say at that time frankly, i would say cyber threats are probably a greater present danger, but in general, what we need to do is we need to get a much more resilient system. we need to continue the deployment that was started nearly ten years ago now, in terms of much more able sensors that can detect disturbances and isolate part of the grid with problems. and it's not only on he high voltage system, the transition system, but also when you get to the distribution systems, the lines going into people's houses and the like, and start hooking up all of your internet addressable appliances at home to the internet, we are creating the possibility of tremendous new services for consumers are but at the same time we are elevating things like cyber risks. so i think it's an integrated view to looking at the whole spectrum of issues. the -- we can never forget the electric grid is like the lifeline of all lifelines. every truck, financial and more, depend upon reliable, high quality electricity delivery. this is an area that is absolutely critical, and i might ad, the administration, of course, put forward a couple of weeks ago a framework for addressing american infrastructure. i think that the program, first of all, many of wuss agree, we see it every day, how we need a new infrastructure but i would say, i would really elevate very much in those discussions the energy infrastructure, and most especially probably the electricity infrastructure, again, as our key lifeline network. >> host: the caller asked -- thanked nowor your role in iran nuclear deal. want to show this tweet by president trump in wake of the administration's opposition to that deal and their evidents to mitigate or undo the deal. 2010, never gotten over that at that time obama was abe toty 1.7 billions in cash to iran and nobody called for an investigation. i wanted to get your opinion on what you think the trump administration is trying to do in terms of itself view of the iran deal. >> guest: well, first of all issue don't want to go into detail but the issue of the payment, that was payment of a court ordered settlement of resources that were appropriated by the united states back in the iranian revolution time. let go on to the agreement. i think that's more relevant today, clearly. first of all, i think that there has been a misconception from the very beginning, in 2015, in terms of the agreement. the principle criticism was not of the agreement but of what the agreement is not. it was never intended to address missiles, to address yemen, hezbollah, human rights. these are all very serious issue and we have a lot of problems with iran, obviously in the region, and now syria as well. so, i think all of us believe that we should be pushing back hard with our allies and friends on these issues, very concern about the security of israel, for example, with hezbollah, and iran's support of hezbollah. so, let push hard on those. i might add, in the obama administration, after the iran deal, additional sanctions were placed on iran for reasons that were not nuclear. the deal takes the nuclear weapons threat off the table. it does not relieve us of the ne

united states, the united kingdom, and france supply for european defense. obviously -- east, i worked in the administration and continue to work to enforce nonproliferation norms. we don't want to see nuclear weapons spreading anymore than they have, unfortunately, over the last couple of decades. host: travis, cold chester, vermont. caller: good morning first of all i wanted to thank you and commend you for your work in negotiating and securing the iran nuclear deal. secondly, my question has to do with your former role of energy secretary. i was wondering if you could speak to the risk to the electrical grid that solar flares pose. i'm sure you are familiar with the carrington event. do you feel that hardening our electrical grid to solar events should be a priority? guest: let me say broadly that i think hardening the grid, making it more resilient against a -- youof threats mentioned solar flares and in extreme circumstances those are an issue. frankly, i would say that cyber threats are probably a greater present danger. in general, we need to get a much more resilient system. we need to continue the deployment we started nearly 10 years ago in terms of more able sensors that can detect disturbances, lead to ways of isolating parts of the grid that have problems. it is not only on the high-voltage transmission systems, but also when you get to the distribution systems, the lines that go to people's houses and hook up your internet addressable appliances in your home, we create the possibility of tremendous services for consumers. at the same time we are elevating things like cyber risks. it is an integrated view of looking at the whole spectrum of issues. the electric grid is the lifeline of all lifelines. every other infrastructure, financial and more, depend upon reliable, high quality electricity delivery. this is an area that is critical. put forward ation couple of weeks ago a framework for addressing american infrastructure. i think that program, many of us we see every day how we need new infrastructure, but i would elevate very much in those discussions the energy infrastructure and especially the electricity infrastructure ourur teeth my flight -- key lifeline networks. host: i want to show you this tweet from president trump in the wake of the administration's oppositions to that to undo that deal. never got over the fact that president obama sent $1.7 billion in cash to iran and no one in congress, the fbi or justice called for an investigation. what do you think the trump administration is trying to do in its view of the iran deal. guest: i don't want go into detail the issue of that statement. that was the payment of a court ordered settlement of resources appropriated by the unitedtates in the iranian revolution time. let's go to the agreement, that is more relevant. i think that there has been a misconception from the beginning in 2015 in terms of the agreement. the principal criticism was not of the agreement, but what the agreement is not. -- neverver attended intended to a dress, yemen, hezbollah, or human rights. we had a lot of problems in the region, and now syria is in there as well. believe we of us should be pushing back hard with our allies and friends on these issues. very concerned about the security of israel with hezbollah and iran supporters of lah.ol in the obama administration, after the iran deal, additional sanctions were placed on a -- on iran that were not related to nuclear. does not relieve the need to address the other issues. now we hear a lot about the sunset of the agreement. i want to make it clear that this agreement does not fundset. there are restraints on iran's nuclear activity that do go away, however to core of the agreement,

excludes the united states was agreed late last month it's going to be signed early next month, and there is a provision that allows for any new joiners, be it the united states or the united kingdomother country to rejoin it, and that's going to be top of mind here for the australian prime minister in a briefing with reporters, the australian ambassador to the u.s. talked about the desire of australia for u.s. to join, despite the fact that turnbull had previously said we're not counting on the u.s. to join any time soon. even though acknowledging that he would like that to happen so that's definitely something that is going to be on their agenda, to be asking the president for. so what can they offer in return well, the australians are going to try to pitch some sort of funding mechanism for the u.s. infrastructure program australian private funds have put about $14 billion into u.s. infrastructure since about 2010. and the proposal we have heard about that will be made today is now potentially devoting part of a $2 trillion australian pension fund into united states infrastructure of course, they would want a return on that money, which would mean tolls on roads or some sort of

the secretary of state for international development in the united kingdom here agreed that the unitedingdom will host a meeting in the first half of this year to create a new independent whistle-blowing mechanism. unfortunately she's no longer the secretary of state, there is a new secretary of state. so i'm wondering, between the secretary of state for international development here in the uk, and ambassador haley's office in the united states, can we please create this new whistle-blowing mechanism so good aid workers can report on horrendous acts of both adult and child sexual abuse that is rife within the u.n. >> andrew, look, to the credit of the many people that you've worked with, it is important to point out, there are many good men and women doing good work around the world. >> that's right. >> but this report certainly makes one take pause. when you went out to write on this, you compared this to what you saw happening in the catholic church. >> that's indeed. when i was a young lawyer i acted on some of the catholic church insurance in the 1990s. the catholic church litigat

system like the united kingdom's which by the way isn't affected because we saw many shootings in the past few years including he does not shootings on the scale that we've had in the united states where we have over thirty children also killed in several schools as we have over the decades you just don't have that in the united kingdom i'm from the united kingdom so it just hasn't happened in the same way with one or two yet you got a lot more one way you have an excess of violent crime problem in fact the crime including firearm crime across london is actually increasing and it is actually rival that of new york city so i think it is more of a question of you know. if i'm a teacher and i'm in the classroom i don't care what's the gun laws are in great britain i don't care what the gun laws are in florida i want to protect myself. the question of whether or not that we should be listening to school children who are minors. i think that they are not allowed to these children are not allowed to own firearms in part because they're emotional because they're impulsive because they're irresponsible and because they're incapable of thinking about their actions that's the argument aga

in the united kingdom and suspicious powder was sent to julian assange so a lot of questions are being raised this is this is happening in the united kingdom this is happening in the united states people don't really know exactly what's going on here suspicious packages are turning up with suspicious white powder in them now all kinds of questions are being raised by the people in the u.k. and by the people in the united states but at this point we just don't have enough information to draw any conclusions so we'll be keeping you updated on the situation. yes certainly a worrying trend artie's caleb maupin live from the us this hour thank you. a preliminary investigation has found that frozen speed sensors may have been the cause of sunday's deadly passenger jet crash near moscow the heating system that protects those sensors was switched off during the ill fated flight but had been switched on for the previous fifteen journeys the plane made investigators hope to find out why the heating was turned off as they continue their extensive analysis of the antonov one for eight black boxes the tragedy claimed the lives of all seventy one people on board. a virus stuck in access your

without the close involvement or norway in the north turkey in the south are on the united states canada and united kingdom in the west. but if we remove the risks and make the most out of the opportunities if the e.u. actions complement nato and are not seen arsenal turn a tip then i see great potential for improving european security that this of on a closer to nato e e u cooperation is vital. nato and e.u. are natural partners we share the same values the same challengers the same people more than mine the percent of the people living in e.u. countries live in that nato country i am proud that over the past couple of years we are made and present them good progress on nato you cooperation. today we are working side by side in the aegean mediterranean in afghanistan and iraq in georgia ukraine and the western balkans and on exercises cyber and the hybrid for its e.u. defense can strengthen nato and keep europe safe if they are anchored within the transatlantic partnership. then before i close let me say a few words about the emergence of nuclear challenges for many years the nuclear threat we see that fr

well aware that a lot of parents prefer to started in united kingdom or in united states. however, what is important, my theory, my hypothesis is that these children got education and got experience in the west, they wouldn't want to live in the closed -- i would think they like their children educated in the west because they're pretty much aware of the level of education inside russia which unfortunately is not good, especially in terms of humanity and political science, just a disaster. they would like to have small children to go to boarding schools in switzerland and united kingdom. they would like -- they would rather, you know, the knowledge that they're making money in russia but prefer to be out of russia. they have property, real estate, et cetera. so as it was a case at the last decade of soviet union, i believe these in bringing change and democratic development or some signs of possibilities of democratic development in russia. i will stop here. i want briefly, there's a book i love the most. and that's i think that political scientists at large overlooked thi

united states and also from the united kingdom here in hong kong, which follows the fed. stuart gulliver i think was the one who said that running up bank in a negative interest rate environment around zero, is like shale oil companies with oil prices around five dollars. this increase and normalization of rates is expected to help banks like hsbc. david: we have to talk about provisions here. thiswhat should we be expectingm hsbc? stephen engle: this is a company down, like thete one that happen a couple of years ago after the sub term fallout. there is some exposure this time that global banks have with the credit problems. for example in south africa, hsbc was one of the banks with credit losses due to the retailer having problems in south africa. also, carillion, the number to build are in a u.k. had a collapse with more than $2.2 billion in debt, and we are waiting to hear the extent of that exposure, to what extent the damage will be to full-year profitability. david: steeves, our north asia correspondent, stephen engle there out and that hsbc headquarters. thiss are up 1.3% ahead of numbers coming through. i would like to bring out the bloomberg intelligence senior analyst covering asia purges and exchanges. francis, when you look at net interest margins, steve was looking at that and say that we are no longer in a negative interest rate. what key drivers should we be expecting5 as steve has already mentioned? guest: high rates in hong kong and the unitedto time, buted in our also in 2018, bloomberg thatligence estimates there will be $2.4 billion in there will be $2.4 billion in income due to the interest rate hikes. at the same to, we expect this increment come a numbers coming from the u.s. units, 1/5 of them coming from the boe has raised their rates as well. these are some of the drivers. long holdover trajectories, we believe that mexico, hong kong and the united kingdom, will be the key lending drivers for the bank. 3-4% hike lead to a in 2018. haslinda: francis, capital is another area that people are looking at. are you expecting share buybacks, dividends perhaps? guest: i think it has been expected by the market, and bloomberg intelligence has estimated that there will be about 14.1%, similar to what they reported in the third quarter. december, and of lasting through 2018. there is a factor our lead to bring your attention, that there could be some additional capital needs comedy to the accounting changes. reviseds also been

united kingdom sales of. to saudi arabia during the war has increased five hundred percent just imagine they are actually making profit from this war the united states making but of it france making bit of it and the other hand they do want this war to stop this is a symbol it's kind of business for them why would they stop the war in yemen. as well the saudi try to block journalists not to cover this use of what been british made bombs and thanks to the united kingdom and u.s. who are actually giving the saudi. supplies including g.p.s. coded. it on a little satellite footage and drones footage and fuel in the saudi jet on the sky of yemen if the saudi didn't have any of this they cannot conduct any airstrike on yemen they cannot have a blockade in yemen the british government denies exporting cluster bombs right now into drone strikes which you mentioned drones one of qatari network jazeera reported a u.s. drone strike at the end of last month killing six civilians in the core leading to mass protests in shop any confirmation of this because it hasn't been confirmed by other sources of drone strikes killing men women and children civilians of cour
