who are part of the united kingdom has always understood that our security and prosperity is bound to global security and prosperity we are a global nation enriching global prosperity through centuries of trade through the talents of our people and by exchanging learning and culture with partners across the world and we investing global security knowing this is how we best protect our people at home and abroad that is why we are the second largest defense spend in nato and the only e.u. member to spend two percent of our g.d.p. on defense as well as more point seven percent of our gross national income on international development and it is why we will continue to meet these commitments it's why we've created a highly developed set of security in defense relationships with the u.s. and five eyes partners gulf and increasingly partners with the gulf and increasingly with asian partners to we've invested in critical capabilities including our nuclear deterrent our two new aircraft carriers are world class special forces and intelligence agencies we're a leading contributor to internatio

it is true that the united kingdom has acted this up. the uk china relationship seems to be on a better footing since 2015. she is calling it a golden era. it is her first visit as prime minister of the uk. it is very important for her. she was the message that britain is open for business to be very loud and clear in china. it is a very important relationship. the uk needing every trade relationship going right now. it is also the question, it is not just the uk for finance, areas like technology and aia, areas where china is claiming leadership, can the united kingdom be a part of that success the united kingdom be a part of that success story? shares plunging, this is an outsourcing services company here in the uk and there was a real concern about the fact that it has had several profit warnings, it sounds like a similar tale to karelian art this article points out it is not the same tale and perhaps capita is not heading in the same direction as carillion. it is the key question of whether key services should be outsourced to privat

kingdom government or through united states as they call it u.s. aid 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 to support yemenis and i've just seen a i think a week ago on the twitter 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 their media and the united kingdom and 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.

at a time when the united kingdom has agreed to extend... of the single market, including freedom of movement. that is a indivisible part of other freedoms. so, movement. that is a indivisible part of otherfreedoms. so, these rights can be enjoyed. so, we are notjust talking about companies. we are talking about companies. we are talking about companies. we are talking about questions which are of deep concern to citizens, of both sides of the channel. notjust talking about citizens who might arrive in the uk. we are talking about british citizens who might arrive in the european union. it is reciprocal. so, there is some logic behind the view that because the freedom of movement agreement is upheld, because of this, these citizens should have probable rights referred to in the joint report. now, what is the link, the link between the solutions which we need to divide without any ambiguity to the guaranteed stability in ireland, to guarantee the good friday agreement in all of its parts, during the transition period, what is the link between

but i'm not sure what the united kingdom wants in terms of the fib in partnership. i know these items were published last august in the position paper but the option the prime ministers seems to be backing is unprecedented and there has been no worked until flesh out. what we are watching is literally a battle within the conservative party about what it wants for brexit, and in the meantime we here at european union level are trying to make sure that we do reach some agreement with the united kingdom because we want to have a relationship, post—brexit. but we also have to finalise the details of the withdrawal agreement and a period so it would be quite a busy time and this week is certainly an interesting week in those developments. mairead mcguinness, does it matter if all this is unprecedented? for example when michel barnier comes to london and says terrorists for example when michel barnier comes to london and says tarrifs are unavoidable, they are not. everyone is calling everyone else's bluff. tariffs are not unavoidable. i don't think this is a game of blu

kingdom lies, and the best benefit lies in our ability to trade to the maximum possible in providing goods and services, free of regulatory inhibition with our european partners because they are our closest trading partners and no other trading partners elsewhere in the world are ever likely to substitute themselves for it. so that's in the customs union basically, or a customs union, i'm sorry i get stuck on these... it would have to be a customs union if we're out of the single market, all i would say about that and here i think i disagree with ian paisley, is if we are honouring the agreement we reached in december and outlines with the eu on the terms of withdrawal i find it difficult to see how we will not be in a customs union because unless somebody comes up with some extraordinary technical

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 against i mean minors to own firearms indeed so i think we need to. i think it's early to listen to them when they come up proposing the gun control legislation that we you know so many people at myer in this country appreciate what you're sayin
