history shows that britain's statements must be verified. we demand full transparency of the investigation and full cooperation with russia and we. all c w. so this is the end of my remarks and i'll be happy to answer your questions. please . ok i was not wrong or it sounds like you may only was i was. right. i was actually i knew i was mad as well thank you. i am authorized to see that moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in any way unacceptable and totally irresponsible. the bridges go on with this free to make a decision about its dissipation in the world cup but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated nazis and and lost more than twenty five million people by comparing our country to nazi germany. did beat goes beyond the common sense and we do not think british war veterans including those of the arctic cold warriors would share this opinion. starting from the front line. in the us today mr johnson is what. would. you do you go. well i'm going first of all i'm i'll

and got britain done saying what what started your entertainment career. i got started in the military actually i was as you saw the morning the movie good morning vietnam i was good morning vietnam but in the navy. but of course i'm coming over that was my first my first date the poorer paul mccartney pull the cut he says the beatle of they they had a big helping hand from radio caroline how did you end up on this ship. i was a destruct in france at the time. doing bold emotionally gupta on europe number one and i was also lead to do seem to be acts it came from england on tour and i was on stage with sam the sham and the pharoahs when there are a manager came up and he said you know you read a good you should be on radio caroline what's radio caroline. he said well this is a pirate ship that just started nameless and i'm good friends with run and o'reilly so i said well you know here's a tape let's see what happens and two weeks later i had a phone call from rodin who said get your so here i need you you know is a pirate radio station what you frightened

britain has class a grassroots charity stablish to tackle the institutions at the center of britain's class problems. so i'm a working class kid from luton i went to comprehensive schools all my life going to l.s.e. just sort of statistically in the sense of you know if you throw enough working class kids at the russell group universities some of them get in and i go and i study economics or three years and i nearly dropped out i think at least once a year because you just get there and you work so hard to get and you've done so many things to prove that you're worthy of being somewhere and doing something and then you have just thrown back in your face every minute of every day that you're around people who are better than you you know around you equals you're on your period because people have seen more than you've ever experienced more they they know more they've done more people you know quite line in the whole and it sort of really mold you like i don't have this accent and i was going to find a proper like robot accent but i made an effort to present myself better because i felt

britain and its allies bomb together over a claim. in the poisoning of former spy. on his talk with the british foreign secretary saying russia's response is enough to. the kremlin. but just two days before russians vote in the presidential election r.t. looks at how some western media are doing exactly what russia's long. term. for coffee california is refusing to serve uniformed officers and it's just a number in the u.s. which are betting their customers. around the clock across the world this is our team international from the team and myself you know neil welcome to the program nearly eleven thousand people have to escape the militant controlled syrian enclave of eastern using russia sponsored humanitarian corridors it is the biggest number two evacuated from the embattled area in one day but it's been tough to get to this stage has had to expect. that it was only a trickle of civilians fleeing serious rebel held territory of eastern gates it's now become a flood thousands have been given safe passage out of the embattled and play. so let's get out into the lot

the situation is new with a negotiation is not so easy in this country and britain is. definitely. has has to find the solutions with the european union and for the time being i don't see any results from the from the negotiations and they have in order to divert the attention from the bridge that they have to see to present something to the public that could move to it and there's a great possibility to launch this into russian complain and to russian attack and so this is this is this is this is in the area which was written in london but . but from my point to you this is a very short side it's in the area because in the long run. britain have to explain what is behind all these things and souls very i think they have to explain what they're doing in this secret chemical laboratory which is eight miles from from the from the source very. where were the investigated the substance based on their information on the samples based on the certain standards the have and this i think this would be the question that they have to clear it for i. in the organization for proliferation of th

that britain has a lot of business interests in russia. what would the reaction be here if there presumably would be some russian retaliation if they said well we'll have some sanctions against british business where do we end up with this we don't gamed up in a good place and also we don't yet know what the full facts of this case saw apart from the fact that anyone who tried to poison his obviously don't pretty competent because they failed obviously some ascribe the popularity of that of your putin in russia to being someone who dragged in public to crack down on the all agog says stole all the money from the russian people and you do brazilian back the measures being taken to freeze assets and that's where they're freezing the assets in london and then giving it to the russian people do welcome those policies i think clearly the. seniors in particular would rate for russia and a lot of money went out of the country that belongs to the russian people and one canary needs support a government which attempts to turn that around i would be

and great britain. we're calling on both sides to reach an agreement and on british leaders to support the transition of things but us but that would give companies until twenty twenty before they have to adjust their business models with. business and that the cialis what was inside. the car industry will be hardest hit according to a study the industry will have to shoulder at least three billion euros in extra costs cars are among germany's most important export products. last year germany's exports to britain totaled around eighty four point four billion euros that made britain germany's fifth largest export market and german imports from britain came to around thirty seven point one billion euros. brics it will be especially hard on smaller german companies up until now many have had very little experience with trade outside the e.u. but just how complicated the post brics it trade groups will become is not yet clear that's still being negotiated. of a more on the brics impact on germany and europe

of britain's national economic. system which. is. the. this is like my first one working with the government having the soldiers on board and all first time about that's completely different usually we have no real. way of enforcing our authority you know we have authority from the united nations charter for nature that's about it. because you look at anything through in the world right on there none of them are going up they're all stable which is the few that are stable most of them are in decline the methods of fishing are so efficient now that there's no way that the fish can sustain to replenish. governments have to wake up countries have to wake up and that's happening in specially in africa where we have now a multitude of nation just about winning the world because inviting us to come into their waters to protect them. when you feast in an unsustainable way you are taking more fish out of the old show and. then we slip to reproduce if you are taking a young fish will still haven't made babies who are taking hold school selfish. le

a landslide victory to put on thanks to britain and the suggestion is that the confrontation with britain over various matters has boosted and bolstered the victory that vladimir putin is enjoying. that is what people have said, that some analysis of saying that it turned out to be a boost. ultimately, the main factor in this election was that vladimir putin was able to choose his opponent, and effectively was able to run the rules of the election. his main opponent was this hard because of a fraud conviction that he says was false. i don't really think that britain's reaction one way or another has been that important, not the least because it had britain not reacted at all than he would have looked even stronger going into the election. i don't really see what else we might have done. the fact that turnout dropped from 65 to 60% is being commented upon. there is a lovely line in this from a spokesperson for the campaign. i would like to thank the uk for helping with this high turnout which we ourselves could not have dreamt of. of course, that could quite easily have they meet this happ

so i got to ask you about the spy scandal in great britain there are three conspiracy theories. the most popular ones first one being that put in ordered the killing of this by to get some tough guy points before the elections the second one is that it's to secret services who did it without put knowing forget about the third one this two or the most popular one i don't even know which one is worse by the way was this third one it's something in between and between here but those are the two was mum of the ones that he ordered to get some time go point before the election well the third one was he ordered it to actually. provoke the west's reaction and he knew that the west reaction would be very hostile towards russia and that would further consolidate russian voters around put it in the third one which i think is the worst one is that put in didn't know but he secretary says just one and one along and executed. well. this is artificially constructed theorists. first we have to remember the starting point is the you know words of president putin that russia has nothing to do wi

well if you read britain's goes you're always bit would. you just pass the age sixty five you would but he had a question earlier on talk about jumping the gun we have the sort of the next six years but one of the correspondents just now asked would you consider changing the constitution to run again for another term just come of look i mean because don't forget at the end of this time will be seventy one i think he has said before but it's time for him so put a time to retire after doing i think everything he's done for us what is that was do you still expect me to be the president at age one hundred yeah well you never know yes and maybe you should know that you know some of these very unhappy said news subcellar t.v. star. girl she was unhappy when she came on camera to a solution right nice she was looking to shake things up wasn't she went right on that campaign slogan that implies if i had it would be if i was against everyone else today up to the disaffected the younger people are the problem and i think you never lose in total to be
