a british conservative politician has admitted that the military is directly involved in so the earth strikes on yemen don't you hawkins brings us the details the source come from tory m.p. alice the book he's the minister of state for the middle east that before and commonwealth office specifically with regards to the role of u.k. personnel in saudi military control rooms there had of course been speculation for quite some time about the exact scale and depth of the u.k.'s involvement in the conflict with the british government everything in the past that it does have a train advise and assist mission alongside the saudi military which indeed the country's foreign minister had also confirmed in the past. we have british officials american officials and officials from other countries now commanding control center we pick the targets they don't i don't know technically exactly what part of the process they're involved in by do you know they're aware of the target list now the size of the u.k.'s arms sales to a country that has been accused of human rights abuses and even walk reimers i

you can just about see the words british make. in the last three months the volu nteers in the last three months the volunteers here have found more than 3000 artefacts, some are in incredible condition like this. it‘s a british army water bottle. you can see the blue pink. the condition is incredible. what is it? a box full of nails, hamburg grenades. a box full of hand grenades? year. girl at scum of the explosive exit, is called to make sure everything is safe. expert. 30 metres, please. 30 metres? yes. we move away. after a quick inspection he is happy and work can continue. on the other side of the side, the brutal horror of what happened here. ben is delicately revealing a human body. we have the remains of what we think is a british old jerk. it is pain facing work to lift and excavate them —— british soldier. you tend to put your emotions to one side for a bit while you put... this is a small site, less than a heckler, they expect to find 30 dead soldiers. so far they have discovered 128. kala is excavating a mass gr

that is also a risk for the british government. if they say they want maybe an extension of article 50 and longer negotiations. then the europeans would say, for what? for another limbaugh? you will not come up with a solution? —— limbo. in fairness to theresa may, any prime minister would be trapped in this situation. the referendum was held and brexit won. what do you do? you have a hung parliament, partly down to her for that early election. you have a divided party, and you have a series of obligations which are contradictory. the soft border in ireland, but not wanting to be part of the customs union. her plan, in fairness to it, is an attempt to square all those circles. because they are not able to be squared, it is a plan that is going to fall by the wayside. it was an attempt to meet all the contradictory demands, and has no other equivalent at the moment. the labour party position is different. it would be part of a customs union, it claims it would get alignment with the single market and not be in it, but that raise

now our top story this hour british police have said they still can't link the nerve agent found in the town of amesbury with the one used in march is poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of solsbury this statement comes in the wake of the death of one of the victims of the latest poisoning the woman along with her partner had been exposed to the never agent novacek. investigation is being led by detectives from the u.k.'s counterterrorism police and network. and they are unable to say at this moment whether or not the nerve agent and in this incident it's linked to the attack on surrogate in union square. scotland yard's counterterrorism chief also said the victims must have handled a contaminated container which police are still searching for meanwhile a meeting of the government's cobra majesty committee is being held over the poisoning incident in amesbury and i see a check and it takes us through the events as they unfolded as well as some of the reaction this being triggered it. one of the two people that were taken to hospital last weeken

but you have a situation here where the british government and the british political system is going to be royaled by this completely. there is already a challenge, potential challenge to theresa may's leadership, several resignations and donald trump just made that way worse for her. to think about this in context, a british woman died last weekend from a nerve agent poisoning. so at that pivotal moment, donald trump is trying to push the british government off a cliff. 74 years ago in june, we had d day, where we worked and fought together with brit into defeat fascism in europe. now we have a president that is imposing tariffs on our closest allies and attacking the government of the united kingdom. it is an amazing reversal. it is so counter productive to american interests and to the interests of international security. it is, however, extremely productive for the wish list of vladimir putin. this is effectively the through line of the last several days is that everything on putin's wish list is happening because of donald trump. what he's wanted for two decades is finally comin

again, unusualfor an british people voted for. again, unusual for an american president to weigh in on domestic british affairs, but that is the backdrop to this touched down at blenheim palace, a president who has pointed out that the country he is about the visit is in turmoil and has suggested he does not prove of the government's new brexit policy. yes, although, i suppose, government's new brexit policy. yes, although, isuppose, they government's new brexit policy. yes, although, i suppose, they would prefer that inference that he is laying out at the moment rather than the interference of president obama two years ago when the uk was told firmly it would be at the back of the queue. at least this us president is saying, we want to do the trade deal, and that trade deal is open and is probably what the focus of the meeting at chequers will be about tomorrow. as you look at these pictures, you are reminded of the great history that accompanies blenheim palace. it is one of the finest palaces in england. it was gifted by queen

they've been made statements are not british citizens anymore they've had the right to british citizenship stripped from them they've been arrested by the authorities in syria they there's an extradition. movement the united states you know they're not our responsibility anymore but again the united states is a very different i don't know if i've got a different sort of question will give them a fair trial i want to move the conversation. about the human rights sorry to interrupt you but i just want to listen to a sound bite of boris johnson let's hear what he had to say his approach on tackling jihadism of course we legally justify those drone strike assessing nations as preventative to stop future acts of terror in syria but that's because the masks the reality that killing them is also richard beauty of payback for the filmed executions of innocent people. just want to give an opportunity to so to speak against it is that the right motive for that was what was the foreign secretary talking about basically an official u.k. government stance a vengeance is not appropriate. well look boris

media reporting that the manchester arena bomber was rescued from war torn libya by the british navy in two thousand and fourteen that's three years before he carried out a terror attack at an area on the ground a pop concert left twenty two people dead and dozens more injured but the details his political. well according to media reports here in the u.k. three years before that deadly attack in manchester someone that baby had been rescued by the british government from libya it was part of an operation to rescue british citizens he was taken aboard a royal navy ship and taken from where he reportedly then got a flight back to the u.k. and he'd been rescued by the british government even though he had been under the surveillance of the domestic intelligence agency here that's m i five now in terms of a baby's background he was born in the u.k. but libyan parents so he was a british citizen but in two thousand and eleven a baby's parents moved to join the uprising against the government of gadhafi and his father was thought to have been fighting in a terrorist group called the ally f

the simple fact is i can't ever recall a time in my life when the politics of the british government has been in such chaos and with complete impossibility to try and understand where we'll be in three months will six months or next year will the government survive if we don't know if it will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an uncertainty in all my time in politics and frankly i suspect it would be a huge impact on our economy what foreign corporation is going to be thinking of investing in britain when all of this is helping me and there is no one person on either side who can unite the tory party around this issue i am the most divisive issue on it takes me back to the nineteen nineties when at then tory prime minister john major who is trying to preside over a tory party to be divided in parliament whether or not we should join the common currency and at the end of his term you had a labor landslide and i think most property trees in my malin bomb till the next general election but that could be later this year i i think looking at the mess

former london mayor can livingstone told us that he has never a say in british politics and disorder but the simple fact is i can't ever recall the time in my life when the politics of the british government has been in such tales and with complete impossibility to try and understand where we'll be in three months will six months or next year will the government's ago if we don't know will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an uncertainty in all my time in politics and frankly i suspect it would be a huge impact on our economy what foreign corporation is going to be thinking of investing in britain when all of this is helping me and there is no one person on either side who can unite the tory party around this issue i am the most divisive issue and it takes me back to the nineteen nineties when i then tory prime minister john major who is trying to preside over a tory party divided in parliament over whether or not we should join the the common currency and at the end of his you had a labor landslide and i think most property trees in my malin two

will do and of course the british government is an also very difficult position with practices they can't afford to annoy their american cousins too much at this juncture of british history so it's a bit of a mess every which way. now a lot of the putin says he is ready to travel to washington to meet donald trump he was speaking at the brics economic forum r.t. as you go to dan of reports now from the event in south africa. putin's media conference became something of a final note of this three day break summit here in johannesburg now the russian leader talking to the press focused a lot on what was achieved in such a short period of time here in south africa you talked about the deals or the agreements that were signed here but when it came to new questions from journalists world somewhat inevitably the subject of his relationship with donald trump the u.s. leader came up there is of course in the context of their meeting in helsinki the question was basically whether or not i'm appalled he was ready for more of such meetings with his american counterpart and will answer was yes.

by 1774, british control over il. colony was virtually n real authority was not in the hands of the king's appointees, but rather the rebellious merchants in the low country who had formed their own governing bodies. at first, the settlers on the frontier carried very little -- cared very little about what others were worried about, the sugar act, tea act, which had little direct effect on them. then it became clear that the british were ready to provoke indian attacks, the most feared threat to order and liberty to help crush the rebellion. some lawless white men fought with the indians. it is true that some colonists saw the high-handed whig officials in charleston as the real threats to order. for many others who had been sitting on the fence, the very idea that the king's ministers would unleash the indians on them and their families made them spring into action, rally the militia, gather ammunition, and prepare to fight. i don't have time to talk about the stories about the two sieges campaign, or, the pickens' m

as the ordinary british worker but the last time that productivity was so bad in the united kingdom was seven hundred ninety four and when i looked up the history of seventeen ninety four great britain it does say that not only did they rebuilt theatre royal jory laid open but british troops captured a march of seven hundred ninety four martin eek from the french in april they signed a treaty of alliance with prussia and netherlands against france and in june they captured port au prince in haiti from the french so they were kind of at war with the french back in seven hundred ninety four but who's getting the last laugh right the french unions the french because the french are out there in the streets fighting for wages so their productivity is higher expressed as a fraction of g.d.p. look i mean in the britain in the united kingdom to solve this g.d.p. problem they want to include prostitution. and drug dealing in the calculations of the government to come up with a g.d.p. number that's desperate they are to avoid just giving workers livable wages i think it's just the motto by which

british have their gas. the question is, in your opinion, who did the better job of doctrinal development, and which side came closest to developing the method that would be most successful in world war ii? >> dr. faulker: we love the germans. we are guilty of this at fort leavenworth, but the germans sort of have a propensity for war. we overstate it. a lot of that has to do with geography, but i think we overstate that. the germans are really good at some of the tactical stuff, but when it comes to making strategy, they are a basket case, and the disasters you will see in world war ii are presaged by the disastrous strategic decisions they make in world war i, and i think we also overemphasized the german tactical acumen. what they do have is an official army system for capturing honestly and openly the mistakes made trying to systematically put systems in place, but at the same time, the allies know the advantages they have and are playing them as best they can and a lot of the storm trooper tactics you s

it was conducted british citizens. i can't imagine that that was done by second or you continue this is why the stinney is a chemical weapon expert. i can imagine a scenario with the second there would contamination. there's been a second night of violent protests in the french city of non over the death of a twenty two year old man shot by police on tuesday protesters clashed with officers throwing molotov cocktails and starting fires and several districts police say that the young man refused to comply with orders and had reversed his vehicle into an officer while trying to avoid an identity check and he was previously known to authorities and investigation is currently under way here's more details from r.t. france correspondent jonathan. karl . this. took place in this neighborhood.
