britain has accused the kremlin of being behind the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in law as of the previous behavior we aren't to subpoena to the response of this kind and we will consider our next steps in the coming days alongside our allies and partners but russia's response doesn't change the facts of the matter the attempted assassination of two people on british soil for which there is no alternative conclusion other than the russian state was culpable and social media giant facebook has banned a company linked to both donald trump's campaign and the probe to push the data analysis from cambridge on lyrica has been suspended for failing to delete information about two hundred seventy thousand users who downloaded an app called this is your digital life the company's accuse of harvesting the data without authorisation to build software to influence the u.s. election your absolute headlines on al-jazeera up front is up next. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter where you take it al-jazeera will bring you

exaggerate in that case the threat from iraq but it will likely get a lot of specially you know we obviously britain is going to go and he's still there in a war in iraq what about syria because this story in wiltshire has moved syria off the front pages something apparently is still going on in good the russians are saying that it is the u.k. linked islam is of ghouta that he have the chemical weapons linked to. his sleeve to the government here in governing. i think it's extremely important for everyone parliament and the british public to start to understand what is going on at the moment in a broader geo political context and you're absolutely right to highlight the issue of syria here the west at this point in time appears to be facing strategic failure in syria in terms of the military operations in the attempts to overthrow the assad regime and what we're beginning to see in a city indications coming out of the areas which the syrian arab army moved into are for example fines of chlorine which have been held by the rebel groups now of course we've had this constant political charged constant

and so here in pens and in the west country britain will soon have its first plastic free school all thanks to some very involved citizens. farmers in spain are worried despite regions like a sierra leone having naturally first toss oil and are accustomed to managing limited rainfall climate change has brought about long periods of drought water once plentiful but the use of irrigation is now scarce the reservoirs that were built decades ago for which entire villages were sacrificed are drying up the region's antiquated water systems desperately need updating but no one can agree on how. he didn't think he'd see his home ever again. i'll be to swear it was just eight when he and his grandfather were forced to leave his hometown. after the construction of a new dam their valley was flooded out peter's home vanished in a new artificial lake. like the rio this is where we lived. these are my childhood memories. we play in our streets right here. this is where the village came together because this street led to the highway. well you can see what's happened to it now where you are is fou

has the latest in the standoff between russia and great britain. it's twenty three diplomats and their families so close to one hundred people who were waved off by the remaining embassy staff in the u.k. they boarded a russian government plane bound from mosco and the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander you can vent he is school them to the airport this is what he had to say take a listen we've been through diplomats means forty percent reduction. and that's the world we're idiom to see this was. in the issue visas is becoming a little bit more complicated these days you know to work in the u.k. but this is the new reality is this is the different level of completions. the major problem for us you know all this. is that we don't have any evidence no evidence presented to us and for the time being you know we don't have a need for the police and the diplomatic expulsions are all part of this full out between the u.k. and russia following the poisoning of sergei script and his daughter and souls very over a couple of weeks ago now over two week

the financial sector the city of london the creative industries have also had growing relevance for britain's g.d.p. and those companies rely heavily on european talent and with their future status in the u.k. . businesses fear that gregg's it will hit them especially hot. it's a sophisticated tool that helps creatives with three d. animation they got who helped invented is from norway the majority of artists in the studio at nexus an independent production company based in london comes from the e.u. nexus provides interactive content and animation for international clients what's important for them to have access to young talent. is jeopardizing that. we're already seeing talent we would naturally come to london immediately after their studies on the hesitating and so they might move to barcelona or berlin or london is an expensive city as well so it's kind of slowly losing attraction the u.k. benefits hugely from london's reputation as a hub for creativity creative industries amount almost ten percent of all u.k. exports creative workers are in high demand there are already skill shortages

believed that it was part of a global right-wing a nationalit that swept across europe and through great britain and manifested itself and then it wasn't necessarily due to anything that trump had said himself that he was the vessel beneficiary and i talked to him while he was in the white house last spring during the french election and one of his frustrations was because he was in the white house, he wasn't able to go to france and help. he thought had he been able to do that he might have one, so it's no surprise to me that now at least for the time being through the american politics, he's moved overme to europe to back a lot of the right-wing and in some cases racism in the anti-semitic parties that seem to be on the rise. i think this way of continuing f continuing to be involved in this movement that he believes stillti has strength in the unid states even if it went into a decline. >> barbies in newark new jersey. go ahead. >> caller: i'm concerned if it is privatized social security will be treated like pensions and they would take advances and bonuses just like the corporations like th

foully by you know this that you know i did just this and also some of the european allies like the britain government are following their hippocratic approach to this this pact both of them are most complying with. their obligation on the respect the first establishes secondly we are in no way interested to talk with over the government you know this suit which does not have any credibility in his promises and his signatures so. this is another third important point americans are afraid of the influence of iran in the region. oh influence is not military influence for this is a more political influence it cannot be destroyed by bombs it cannot be destroyed by military action i think americans should redefine their interest in the region their interest in the region is defined in a very strong and not feasible way mr larijani you just mentioned that you believe teheran has no interest in organizing this presidential meeting between. the leaders of the two countries but i don't know trump is a very particular character he i think he is very easily influenced by his emotions and your neighbor

britain is no whether you like it or not i happen to like it. a multi-racial country. but even if you don't like it it's too late to do anything about that as well first i don't agree that it's a multi-racial country integration hasn't taken place to a significant extent and it's for this reason i don't really have noticed but on television advertisement over the last year or so every single advertisement involving people has got black people in it asian people in it as well as whites and particularly insidiously in my view they're showing including in furniture and bedding advertisement. black and white couples. in we are insidiously being got at they're hoping that nature will follow our and that if they create an illusion of an actuality of integration and race mixing and miseducation that that's how the public will follow it when the bricks has indicated that they're not the national front trying to give itself a democratic leader standing in local and national elections with no success. it's part of the overwhelming rage and anger felt by many black on muslim comm

nerve agent used to have been said to have been used against the per but did not get any response from britain and also said it was willing to help with the investigation and in no answer moscow has now launched its own criminal case into the attempted murder of a script who's a russian citizen even though the british investigation into the poisoning is still ongoing u.k. officials are already turning their words into action. reports. issue threats impose sanctions and cancel your plans to attend the world cup now there's no time to explain the stuff means are made of literally concrete proof full in transparent investigation no time for that the european council isn't hanging around double tough is calling everyone in to discuss what nobody is certain about to put this issue in the other than those next. charging forward on the most likely inspired by moscow front no time to be sure even australia is backing teresa mayes compelling case against russia innocent until it gets interesting the strategy is solid and supports the united kingdom and the u.k. defense secretary isn't overly keen on he

i think if there is such if great britain takes. measures against russia russia is no order precipitated to to make. sure we measure holes so it will add a new new it we agreed. distances because because russia is a sovereign country cannot stand without a reaction so. what i am afraid. as i said seen from geneva is now we are in a kind of escalating as collating tense sons because of russia as currently the right to make retaliations which is not too good a good thing but what what can or should do i think that there is no. means of doing so do songs for for russia and that's a pity for hold the situation on the european continent and will not be striking some people as particularly peculiar is how just yesterday we were reporting u.k. counter-terror police bringing live footage of them saying they were yet to declare any suspects so why now then just be twenty four hours later are we saying what is politicians being completely insistent the russia was responsible for the poisoning . yeah i think the russia is is nothing to see wit

france and britain u.s. and britain did send a representative from the embassy embassy workers and the kremlin spokesperson reacted to that u.k. decision said it showed willingness to hear russia as to the question so it's just literally at the moment it's gone on for ages i can't see or no one can see how this is going to when right now i am sure that it's going to go on for some weeks. at least ok thanks to do that was artie's near a cheetah there with the latest. now another new use the hash tag delete facebook has been trending on social media after it was revealed that the tech giant failed to protect the data of millions of users from being used for political purposes the scandal involves a british data gathering firm called cambridge analytical it worked with multiple u.s. presidential campaigns including donald trump's reportedly harvested the details of as many as fifty million facebook profiles for its operations the company is now under investigation and has even suspended its chief executive. has

supportive of britain. for a while, the message from friends was a little bitjeremy corbyn —esque. from friends was a little bitjeremy corbyn -esque. the french like to show that they have a much more independent line from the anglo—american axis. that is why emanuel macron took his time. angela merkel, quite close to vladimir putin, is very helpful to britain now, looking isolated over brexit to have a bit of noise and heft behind this position now. especially given the language that was used, it is essentially an attack on us all. this threatens all of our security. difficult to know where in terms of economic sanctions that may go. certainly singing president trump coming out very clearly. people have been wondering whether or not the reason he has been pulling his punchesis reason he has been pulling his punches is because there might be something the russians have on him. in the end i think those around him have pushed him to make this statement. donald trump pushed by anybody? by the grown-ups in
