i always telling my friends in britain that you know of course you understand what the press is writing but they have to listen to the companies like b.p. shell resenting those who are doing the real business in russia in the expending this business what is interesting it's for example there is a reading doing business in the world four years ago russia was the seed place of one hundred twenty now it's on the thirty five you see you see the difference the britain i think if the memory serves me is the seven so basically we have no grocery where claim yeah of course you mention the big multinationals which each of them have gone to russia backgrounds arguably what about as enemies possibly thinking of competing in in the russian trade market or trying to work deals. you know he right. i think there was any i think i think the right people i mean those who are members of the r b c c this is russian british of commerce they know the realities and of course they're coming especially in the area of the high tech they know the benefits but of course the need i mean the business the british bu

could be great britain's best ever games. one of britain's best medal prospects is elise christie, competing in three events. since the last games, she has become a world champion. she is looking to put her olympic demons firmly behind her after a devastating sochi 2014. 0h, they've gone down, they've all gone down! i can't believe it! christie's been penalised again. it's been tough. i can't even describe how hard it was. i suffered a lot after it, in my normal life too. i had a crash at the game. i received a lot of death threats and online abuse from the south koreans. it changed me as a person. you know, i lost a lot of confidence from it. but since then i have actually had a massive turnaround. christie, the first british woman to win a short track world title! people became fans and they were really sorry for how people had treated me. and actually the majority of the south koreans really support me. i think it's nice to see how much i've moved forward since then. i'm a totally different skater. i've developed so much.

britain was always good up free market. britain was always good up to the french. the implications there of britain leaving are more nebulous but they will be felt for years to come. that is a good thing for europe because we have not been a good member of the eu. we have never committed to this relationship and the low tax and... is what specifics? we have always had this argument. we don't want to be part of this. the neoliberal model is vast and i think the low tax economy like the one you are talking about, they have to rethink. this goes to they have to rethink. this goes to the heart of it. it will probably not change but i wouldn't agree with that entirely. britain may have played the role of being an outsider but officials in brussels were very clever in making a lot of the rules. also the other irony of brexit was britain had the best of both worlds. it had an opt out from a lot of justice legislation. it was always half in. there was quite a good deal, many people think. as time went on, more people in this country felt european. there was an emotion invo

britain is too big a country to fail. they need to come to their sense and realise his is a dividing moment in the own history and we need to come together. the can't be brutal and bloody minded about britain. there is a reason for europe to be civilised because their own house is not totally in order. there are certain aspects of the summit meetings in brussels which were not reported as much because everyone was focused on brexit. there are huge problems waiting with the migration issue, the eu is by no means a hard and fast currency to sustain itself. they need new economic rules to make sure the currency survives and there are plans that the french have put forward of a budgetary harmonisation in europe which the germans are dead set against. germany, there is no reason for angela merkel to be civilised because she has no government at the moment. where are with that at the moment? none of this has been reported in the uk. it looks pretty bleak because the total mess and total division of opinion inside germany is suc

i don't think of it we have to choose between the europe and britain. we hope for developed economic cooperation not only with the europe but the whole of the world but they'll be new tariffs when britain leaves the european union we don't know where they'll be or not because the exact conditions of britain leaving the e.u. are not clear by now so if we're. talking about the w.t. all conditions that will be the equal conditions as all other countries so i think they're. both brics that situation will open new opportunities but not close them but what about british opportunities because at the moment it's russia much more. more and twenty seventeen rather than the other way around it's not good for our audience. yet there is a significant rise of british exports to russia it means that opportunities are increasing even for british business such not actually very favorable conditions so give me your the rush you're the trade representative of the russian federation and a lot of talk about trade a citizen a t. fin tech you write if you're on a tour that yo

brexit does not make sense for britain and the deal that makes britain prosperous and happy and makes everybody have their cake and eat it, does not exist. the only way that it has been able to be successful so far is that the hard issues have not been joined. i don't see how anywhere in europe, the kind of trade deal that britain needs to prosper can be achieved with the way that the negotiations are structured. it is going to be a car crash. all of those countries in europe can veto it and there are many reasons that people might wish to pick apart such a deal. i am amazed that there was not more talk about productivity and the fact that people, because they feel the cold wind of brexit, are leaving. nurses from the health service, doctors, professors, making their deals to go. do we know that? yes, it is peaking. imean, it i mean, it hasn't started dropping. the rate of increase of immigration to britain is decreasing and there have been lots of interesting stories done about nurses who have been here for 25 years of saying, they don't want me here, i am going home. steve, do you p

and vice versa and how much britain and vice versa and how much britain owed the eu, the so—called divorce bill. only when sufficient progress was made in those areas could talks move on to the nitty—gritty of trade deals. could talks move on to the nitty-gritty of trade deals. we all wa nt nitty-gritty of trade deals. we all want a close and strong future relationship with the uk. there's absolutely no question about it. before discussing the future, we have to sort out our past. the very next day, a german newspaper published details of a meeting between the eu mission president jean—claude juncker and the pm, between the eu mission president jean—claudejuncker and the pm, it was alleged the meeting had been frosty and jean—claude juncker had left ten times more sceptical. theresa may dismissed the report as gossip. byjune, it was time to get on with it. i'm here in brussels today, like michel, to be in the next phase of our work to build a new comedy band special partnership with the european union. that beazley wouldn't be easy. translation: the uk decided to leave the eu, not

so the problem with the brexit vision of a global britain is that if global britain does not include the united states and does not include a broader anglosphere, then what exactly is it? i will ask the british council, you are charged with forging new international relations, creating new bonds, maybe it will not be towards america, but you see this as an opportunity to reinvent? i think re—find as well as reinvent, because we have been a global nation, and the idea we are suddenly emerging after the referendum seems bizarre. we were a global nation for 400 years, 500 years, if nothing else. so i think re—finding that connection with other parts of the world, yes, very important, if we are going to make this reinvention, as you call it, that is where we will turn. we may have to reinvent the relationship with the rest of the european union. indeed we do, but there is a lot of tolerance for that. picking up on what niall said, this consuming conversation about the divorce is not consuming most europeans, it is the bureaucrats, but the people of europe have moved on already — th

no dealfor britain is better than a bad dealfor britain. the pm confirmed britain would come out of the eu single market but there would be a transition period from eu membership to whatever is agreed after. and she said parliament would be given a vote on a final deal. but it was parliament getting a say on the start of negotiating that deal which was the big news a few days later. gina miller! the government got taken to court for wanting to trigger article 50, the mechanism to leave the eu, without having to ask mps first. by a majority of 8—3, the supreme court rules that the government cannot trigger article 50 without an act of parliament authorising it to do so. no prime minister, no government, can expect to be unanswerable or unchallenged. parliament alone is sovereign! and parliament was given that very vote a few weeks later. the ayes to the right, 494. the noes to the left, 122. hear, hear! an historic vote today. and it got through by a large majority at every turn. it has carried out the will of the british people. the stage

much of his pugnacity that served britain so well in 1940 stemmed directly from the belief that britain had an historical duty to fulfill and they would be betraying their forefathers if they stepped back from it. the chinese demanded the port to be returned to them in the early 1920s, churchill asked the cabinet, why should we melt down our moral capital collected by our forefathers to please a lot of pacifists. i would send a telegram beginning, nothing for nothing and precious little for tottance. he must strive like his predecessors had to be a tremendously important effect on him. in december 1906 thanking mr. j.h. anderson for sending him an account of sir john moore's campaign in the iberian peninsula in 1808 he wrote. it is all one story in spite of every change in weapons from the sheep under whose bellies ulisis escaped from the cave of cyclops to the oxen with which the block house line was broken in the orange free state. if anyone in the audience can tell me how the oxen were used to break the line, i would be fascinated to know. those who liked to mischaracterize his attit

britain is obsessed. one thing is clear, britain is going back to the blue passports! no more of the red passports! yes, we got that. january saw the inauguration of the 45th president of the united states. the swearing—in was seen "by the largest crowd to ever watch an inauguration" — copyright sean spicer. campaign pledges fulfilled? pulling out of the paris climate accord, and tax cuts recently voted through. we've also seen the continuation of bellicose language, fake news and alternative facts. jef — trump's been in office 11 months, how's his record? i think it is so bad in some ways that it becomes... we become inured to it. he is a remarkable figure, not in a good way. these tax cuts, there are so many bad things to talk about. his most recent achievement, just voted through. like the founder of trump university, the taj mahal casino, great promises but not very good in reality. this tax cut, there is a tax cut but 60% of the benefit goes to the top 1%. trump himself will benefit greatly from it because a lot of the provisions seem to benefit real estate
