but you know that the u. k . god, you and your old media partner doesn't appear to be giving much prominence to a key witness in the trial here in london. one of the key witnesses for the united states government admitting he was lying about all his allegations. why do you think the guardian is not interested in that report, or any of the publications that are listed in this peg as a spyware report? i haven't seen the reuters news flash, that the most famous journalists in the world. the key witness against him as admitted his line. well, it as little traction so far. i know that, you know, some of the major means remitted doing without working on stories based just from the, the, the invoice of journalists where she broke that story. so let's give it a little time. it's a complicated story, but i mean, the essence of it is we, we kind of get time, can we? because there's a heat wave here in london. i don't know what the temperatures are in bell marsh. i don't know what the covert situation is in bell much the un

so an existence in the u. k. the people on independence age, for example, look at that focus on caveat full cost. i mean i'm used to looking for costs and statistical data and i know that a full cost is not a certainty, but look at all the range of full cost. so what we're seeing is that we're going to be hundreds of thousands of people getting it every day. we get to see a significant rise in hospitalization. we all go to see a lot of people die over the course of the rest of this year. almost certainly within weeks we hope to see the country back in lot that and again because that is the only way we will. okay. well i mean, you know, you are not epidemiologist but apparently that is good for the economy. but my point is that once all those things, once these reverses happen, once johnson is found out from them most cool, absolute promise you may be, it's over locked down as finished. we've got freedom. i think we're going to see a significant change this popular actually, every government comes to the point whe

k. a u. s. during the global current of ours pandemic, some of the, in raking in the cache is here in britain. 130000 have been killed by cove it. how? so joining me now from cambridge here is the co founder of the tax justice network and tax research u. k. director professor richard murphy. thanks so much richard for coming on. so we know that there was a scandal over the weekend about prime minister barak johnson exempting himself from the lation. we've got the health secretary, obviously with cove it and we got a lot of stuff at the moment about the former prime minister david cameron's lobbying allegations. how corrupt has the johnson governments response to corona virus? been in your estimation? oh look, until this government came along, i had never dad call a u. k. government corrupt who was busy and that was a pretty online thing to do because it was got to be pretty risky with regard to the locals. a frankly, i don't think anyone has any concern about coding this government crop now beca

how has the u. k been handling this well, has him. the u. k. government has already admitted in the last few days, despite evacuating around $15000.00 afghan civilians from out out of the country. they will be leaving behind the embarrassment surround, or up to 1100 africans who are on official lists of people eligible to come here because they worked with british forces for the main part. some people think the figure is much higher. there are reports in the sunday press that thousands of e mails from members of parliament and charities to the foreign office detailing cases urgent cases of people who needed to be evacuated, went on and said, well, whatever the case, the case pledging to bring in to allow 5000 afghans into the u. k. over the next year on the rich resettlement program, and it's just an ounce. what it's calling operation was welcome. there's a new minister for resettlement. but in the short term, with these hundreds of people who already arrived around the country, the government saying it's working hard to work with charities,

s and u. k. through this wealthy mining and exploration adventure to put some pressure on china and its massive mining and raw materials market. greenland has been the subject of discussion among america's political and financial elite in the past. in 2019, then president trump even floated the idea of the u. s. buying greenland because of its abundant natural resources and idea that ultimately floated away and sunk like a glacier. whether or not this 1000000000 are blitz turns greenland icy water and polar caps, blue like cobalt and green, like the color of money being invested in the venture remains to be seen. the markets are mostly up for the week as we see a whole host of new economic data related to g, d, p, and inflation. we start in russia where the mo, x is in the green rushes, the economy grew in the 2nd quarter, and it's fast paced in the year, 2000 up 10.3 percent compared to the same period last year, according to official data released friday, russian oil giant ra snapped reported 2

but there are neighbor issues in the u. k as they're all in the u. s. and of course, many countries, i think the 1st factor is really the same as the us. i mean, the follow program that was wonderful during pandemic hits is prevented a lot of people from going back to work. and that program hasn't completely ended and the u. k. government is still helping knows that we're self employed as well. so you got the follow issue. you also have the exodus of the you work as before, the pandemic. they want to go back to their countries, particularly eastern europe and with the travel restrictions they weren't allowed to come back into the u. k. then you have the laurie drive issue. i mean this wish she was gone for 25 years. mark selden is the financial a, be a media advisor to the you president the u. n. and he said this has gone on for 25 years and it has, i can remember this from when i emigrated to the u. s. it's low wages, it's not a job, but very pleasant, and it's always been there in the u. k. so the lori drive issues never going away. the 3rd is that th

and part of u. k. a dramatic surgeon cove. it $900.00 cases is forcing hundreds of thousands of workers to stay home in britain causing shortages of food and gasoline, and heaping stress on supply chains that were already strained by briggs that some of the biggest u. k. supermarket warned thursday that last week that they were not able to stock some products and gas station operators acknowledge that some of their pumps were running dry. right. so no, i had not heard about this until just, you know, in 5 minutes or so. and i had no idea, so the pick. so the, the cell phones, of course, are tracked, you know, in real time via satellites and other means. and everybody is therefore plugged into the grid. and if somebody is within a store that has exposed themselves to this thing that everybody in the store has to has to spend 10 days in quarantine. so the app, yeah, you have to download the app from the n h s or whatever services providing this in the united kingdom and it tells you if you were close to anybody who has then come

so what all of this mean for the future of the u. k. economy, while the discuss was bringing more with his board member of the british american business association and president of straw mark business development consultants. i was a pleasure to have you on hillary country. right now we've heard a lot about labor shortages here in the united states, but it seems there is a similar situation, the u. k. but with different factors, what's behind it and just how bad is best for you, right? but there are labor issues in the u. k, as are all in the u. s. and of course, many countries. i think the 1st factor is really the same as the us. i mean, the follow program that was wonderful during pandemic hits is prevent a lot of people from going back to work. and that program hasn't completely ended and the u. k. government is still helping knows that we're self employed as well. so you got the follow issue. you also have the exodus of the workers before the pandemic. they want to go back to their countries, particularly eastern europe and with th

here we start in the u. k. where the, the is up, the energy mining and health care sector, school games for the index this week with b, p oil and gas up nearly 35 percent, and anglo american mining up yearly, 7 percent for the weak. this as a growing labor shortage threatens the countries recovery will take a more in depth look at that coming up and nearby the german dax and french kac are both in the read. the same labor shortages are hitting europe, as germany says, it needs more than $400000.00 additional foreign workers to fill its labor market. and while france has faced weeks of protest over the requirement of a health path for indoor activities report show, consumer confidence only took a slight hit this month. and the continued increase in spending caused countries finance minister to describe the french economy as doing well across the atlantic. now to brazil, where the eve of us, but is up this despite the news that the countries consumer price index is up point 89 percent. and mid august, marking at

and the russian correspondent in the u. k. were published statements on a regular basis or for in the british side to stop prosecute in russia, journalists. so here's the thing, the so called tenants of reciprocity has long been a cornerstone of russian diplomacy. in fact, for the past several years, in plain terms, it means that if any country in the world takes hostile steps against russia, something that russia doesn't feel is just and doesn't feel it's right than russia and moscow reserve the right to respond accordingly to basically mirror the actions and do something very, very similar. so this is what the russian foreign ministry is saying happening with . well, sarah range forward. according to the russian foreign ministry, several russian journalists back in 2019, failed to get work visas in the u. k. but one of them, for example, didn't, i didn't have the visa renewed and another one simply didn't get one at all. and so for the past several years since 2019 the russian foreign ministry, russian diplomats have been po

here in the u. k. who say that it simply was left to relate the, the, the practical logistics of getting people onto those flights. i've been in touch with people here in the u. k. who say it's been left to individuals, to citizens here, to, to, to campaigners to try to actually get afghans who they know are fearing for their lives through the airport gates on to planes. and there are many, many witness accounts. now here in the u. k. of, of people who being told now not to turn up at the airport because the flights are ending and because it's a dangerous place. but who has the paperwork, they had the right to come to britain. but in some cases would just turn back by members of the british armed forces who are overwhelmed. they were at the same time trying to secure the airport along with the americans and also deal with paperwork . it was an impossible situation. there are cause for some kind of accountability as to what happened now. all right, i didn't think so. that's another rather the in the in

i mean, the u. k. is one of their closest allies, was, was, i think, actually one of the things that, let's talk to said, and this isn't all paid over the weekend. she has said, you know, the whole globe is, is moving towards that asian area. indo asian area. i mean, india obviously some very, very well economically. i think one of the reasons that biden has his irish roots and ancestral roots, he was part, obviously, if the bomber ministration. that said that he was against brock's it and said that the u. k. would go to the back of the line if the u. k. lead in terms of trade agreements. so i think this is just probably a cultural boss in defense of biden's administration. they have had a lot on the plate with covered and many other things in the u. s. they're pretty busy. but nevertheless that you're right, it's a special, a special relationship and it's a shame. they haven't moved faster to seal the deal only because i think it's going to end up being not advantageous for the u. s. in the long run t

and i've kind of done the bridge prime minister says the u. k. will do all it can to avert humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. bars, johnson says he doesn't believe military action against the taliban as an option. made those comments while addressing the british parliament. recall the early to discuss the taliban takeover in afghanistan. john all his life 1st now in london outside parliament. so just tell us a bit more about the main purpose of this debate. well, you can, of course, is it deeply interested and formally deeply involved party in the 20 and a to a mission in afghanistan. the senior partner, if you like, behind the united states in that mission m. p. 's would be cold back from their summer holidays, to spend the day here on wednesday discussing exactly what went so badly wrong there. as far as johnson opened the debate, he's be taking questions, as you said, they're making the point that i've kind of see it on the national consciousness. 150 under 50000 citizens have served and i've sent over the 2 decades of natives involvement. th

there's a lot of u. k. personnel still in the still processing visas, including the u. k. and bassett. a to scan is done. laurie bristow, he's saying he's going to be one of the last one lead wanting to make sure everyone who can, who can, and want to leave through the u. k. relocation program gets on, gets on a flight. so we'll have to update you on whether or not the schedule is going to change. charlie angela, that was all the latest for us from london. thank you so much, johnny. well, if you are just joining us now, i'm in the stall, the t a and this is the news i live from headquarters here in doha. as we continue our coverage of breaking news from afghanistan, there's just been an explosion possibly more than one explosion just in the past. outside couple airport. the taliban is saying at least 11 people have been killed and many more injured. this all comes after the u. s. a straightly, i'm the u. k. all warned people to stay away from the airport because of what they called an imminent threat from an eyesore of shoes in the country. thousands though have still been

i'm very grateful to the prime minister home sex tonight this morning 20 times and that the u. k. will be taking $20000.00 refugees from afghanistan, but that only $5000.00 will be able to come this year. what are the 15000 men today around and wait until they've been executed? ahead. this is because that's the, the 5000 on who was been 200000000 to bring your further 5000 on top of the i think you'll be 10000 all together that we bring in under the, the iris and other programs. we will, we will be increasing that number over the over the coming is to, as i said, to, to 20000. but the bulk of the, they just been listening that to pretty bars johnson opening a special debate in the u. k. parliament. on the capture of afghanistan by the taliban, m. p. 's returning to parliament for their summer break for this session. emergency sitting 3 days after the have kind of stance. capital fell to tyler bond on sunday . he was saying that he was doing everything he could to avert humanitarian crisis in the country. and events unfolded faster than expected. more on this, at the top of the hou

that seems very odd and now is the u. k. the only country that's having i think pingdom as you coined that phrase that neil lodge is. i'm just now fits for a so called kingdom. they've got the queen's paying them. is it? are they the only country doing this like this? well, i guess so because they're the ones that are reopening, they've reopened as well. so places like astrology, other completely shut down and large parts of it. total locked down, still the u. s. mostly where we don't, we don't do anything like this. this is too high falutin for us. we're not going to bother with developing an app. so 10000 workers, however, in the food industry in the united kingdom are exempt from it. so you're right, i mean that, that's, that's the flaw, the in resolving the situation or dealing with the situation. because of course, we are also a very hyper globalized world. so even if you shut down all your borders, like australia has gone and they're very strict there, it keeps getting in. and like the one of the latest outbreaks was b

well, all options on the table is the latest from the u. k. is defense secretary, friend, wallace, is he twice prevention all out? civil war enough on the stone is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country. now, ever since us taliban peace still. what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retrieve what flashes this power political vacuum in the region, seeing the taliban totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. now not only will poverty, of course increase on political destabilization, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise. and that's why you case. defendant secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now we're in this position where we have plenty to manage across the country. the united states are leaving that with an honest yesterday we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very, very big problem on the ground developing with a ton of failed states around the world lead to instability lead to a security threat to off and

the u. k. says it's still hopes to get thousands more people out of afghanistan in the next few days, but it's also made clear that the taliban will effectively get what better. one is called a vote and any extension. and already on monday, the u. k. press is reporting a telephone spokesperson is saying, if the us or the u. k. were to seek additional time to continue evacuations. the answer is no, or there would be consequences. so it doesn't look hopeful. and new demon terms of public opinion. back in the united kingdom, where does that lie? right? because certainly the u. k. they've committed quite heavily to have gone the stuff over the past 20 years or so over 450 service personnel from the united kingdom have lost their lives there. where does public opinion stands and all of this? i g, the british people feel the government's handling this well, to be honest, i haven't seen opinion polling as we have seen out of the us, where the signs are the. so the majority of respondents think the bad

the u. k. their new covey to travel rules have been slammed by french officials as discriminatory and in comprehensible. that's after london announced fully vaccinated travelers from the you and us will no longer have to coordinate on arrival in england. except that is for those coming from france or to show davinsky has more on the contention divide. they could almost pay the ease for cross syrup when grace was and we were helping reunited people living in the united states and european countries with their family and friends in the u. k. from 2nd august at 4 am. people from these countries will be able to come to england from an ember country without having to quarantine if they're fully vax. i and others cried out until the roll that inconvenience back to that wrong to the european country not to be included to angry citizens. bit ridiculous. francis excluded anyone traveling back from through france this weekend will up the current thing. while most of the you in us will not have to for mon

i'll be explaining why this small size is one of a number in the u. k. trying to be the big players in the commercial space market. and leo, now messy is set to make his debut for palestine sharma shortly. we'll have more in this for a hello from dell. how good to be with you. rising sand and dust. we're still seen it being kicked up in some places in saudi, particularly toward the southwest, up against the red sea is where we're seeing that. but i also want to show you what the monsoon winds are doing for the onshore breeze in moscow, where at 33 degrees, so that is actually below average. if i show you the next few days, here's what we can expect. the winds will ease on thursday, so that will pump up your temperature to 35, which is closer to where you should be. for this, from the year, off to pakistan, karachi, $32.00 degrees, we've got some what, whether it's worth the north spilling into northern areas of afghanistan as well. from monday in turkey, we're talking about high temperatures here, well above where they should be on kara, 35, but we may c

into future policy plans, then we take you to the u. k. we're the nation's ongoing recovery is being threatened by a massive labor shortage. we'll discuss. we have a lot to get to today. so let's get started. we leave the program with the latest on china's efforts to crack down on big tech and specifically on the companies listing in the us facing has repeatedly cited security concerns, especially for the companies like the ride share app dbi which hold the data of hundreds of millions of users, reports are now saying that it's early as next month. the chinese government will propose new rules that would ban companies with large amounts of sensitive consumer data from going public in the us. however, companies with less sensitive data such as those in the pharmaceutical industry, are still likely to receive chinese regulatory approval for foreign listings. so how is this likely to impact market worldwide? and what will it mean for tensions between china and the us? joining us now to discuss the latest last co host, christy i. now christy,

even ministers in the u. k. a still all giving over the reasons that fraud is being single that but for the moment, the rules all the rules and it means i'm not the look for up to 10 days. the reason why from should, should be the only country in continental europe, to be, to have this exception, especially if you look at the incidence of coven cases in spain, which is going up sharply. the object to this that, that the french should be ostracized and discriminated against compared to the neighborhood. one of many, many, many of a post bricks that negotiations. and i think it's because britain felt, but france was incredibly hard line in negotiating progress. it. 2 wanted to be as difficult as possible, and the president michael has used all of the arguments to show how being outside europe is about things. so the british resentment lead out a france has not been playing tic, felt that 6 people have died and hundreds have fled their homes as wildfires. re john in southern turkey, they are spreading so rapidly in

and that's why the u. k. the funded secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now we're in this position where we have plenty to manage across the country. united states are leaving that with an honest yesterday we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very, very big problem on the ground developing with the taliban failed states around the world lead to instability, lead to a security threat to off and our interest. we are very clear about that. that's why the, the west has to learn. you don't fix problems, you manage problems. pro button wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if ask on a stone again began to hob, a terrorism, particularly if it pose an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many anti war activists argue that the foreign policy has never been about to humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflict, the battle ground giving rise to the talib

k. the fact that the u. k is evacuation program and time table will not be changed by these attacks. and that's because the u. k. had put in place contingency plans, they were expecting these attacks. they'd have the intelligence, they knew that they were possibly imminent. and unfortunately they were right. but 11 flights, evacuating people today and may be even someone friday the u. k. hasn't been clear on when it will have its last evacuation flight. it says it doesn't want to give a final deadline just in case it creates a stampede. the gate at the apple. but we do know that there is about a 1000 to scan interpreters or people who worked with the british government, who, who are eligible for relocation still to leave the country. but earlier the, the u. k. forces minister did say that because of the tension around the airport, those who haven't been marked for we cation should find another way for safe passage out of the country. and that could be across the border crossing. but yes, good news for the, f

and the u. k. have anything about the deepest and strongest relationships with oral half left a bitter taste in the mouth, and joe biden has been harshly criticized. the u. s. president says, staying longer in kabul would raise the risk of an attack by islamic state and strain. a tenuous working relationship with the taliban, but a former u. k commander says the terrorist threat now coming from afghanistan is worse than before. 911 and biden should face and military court. i don't believe prison button should be impeached. he's the commander in chief of the us armed forces. he's just essentially surrendered to the taliban. he shouldn't be in paste. he should be court martialed for betraying the united states of america and the united states armed forces are barton, both are being condemned by m. p. as in parliament, some calling his criticism of the afghan army, shameful, and pizza, by a cell which he served in afghanistan, says the special relationship is not what it was and why britain didn't sou

but when russian journalists weren't allowed to work on the u. k. soil, that was all fine. it was fine for years. it wasn't an attack on the freedom of press. but when the b, b, c, probably the face of the u. k. journalism all over the world gets stung and gets well the same treatment gets the same dose of the same medicine. that's different. independent journalist martin summers thinks that the problem is that western countries want to see russia as an enemy. well, you got to think about it from a sort of psychological warfare point of view from the, from the western side. what they want to see in media is lots and lots of discussion about how bad russia is. so you got the defend ms defender sales in disputed waters. there's got to be some anti russian media story every week. and in that sense, in the state, you can argue that the russians are playing into their hands. here by burton, you know, she's not just knowing of these are renewed, but on the other hand, it's because relations also paul, that we've reached this point me to do something to, to, to improve relations.

it's been a tough year for emergency services across the world in the u. k. been no different with frontline healthcare stuff bearing the brunt of the panoramic. many of the large cove, it sounds about the face mental health strain, as well as the physical consequences of working long, stressful hours. while these workers fight for better wages, the bureaucratic bosses in the civil service or in lights receive tens of thousands of pounds and pay rises according to the latest figures released by the home office . and it just offer less than impressed. it's just like the kind of society that victories want to create, which is for the rich and how full and ordinary being. i think i think how down in this country in the public, from the private i think people suffer probably we've all learned that it's one rule for them. and another rule for us. and they keep, that jammed off the road. i think it's shameful. initially the government, often nurses, doctors and paramedics, a one percent wise, this is rates a 3 percent off to an independent pay review. but these wor
