the foreign secretary, dominic raab is expected to suspend the uk's extradition treaty with hong kong later. we can speak now to the labour mp and shadow international trade secretary, emily thornberry. good afternoon to you. does dominic raab and the british government have any choice but to suspend this extradition agreement?” any choice but to suspend this extradition agreement? i mean, i welcome it, but i think that it's not a great deal. i think the basic problem is the government has blown hot and cold when it comes to china. it's difficult therefore for china to quite know where it's coming from. you will remember that the amount of criticism theresa may got when the chinese media itself, when she visited china, said they praised herfor she visited china, said they praised her for sidestepping she visited china, said they praised herfor sidestepping the she visited china, said they praised her for sidestepping the issue of human rights, and before that, there was george osborne who again was also praised by the chinese media as being the first western going out into the count

dominic raab, the foreign secretary, defended that elliott. we must be able to gauge the data in real—time, which we did. the data coming through on friday, then take decisive action. if we suddenly say we are not sure and give vague advice it will create more uncertainty. look, know. there isa more uncertainty. look, know. there is a cut—off in changes with the advice and reels we give so i appreciate that is difficult and can be disruptive but it would be far worse to muddy the waters or to hold back and delay from taking the measures when we need to take them. of course the reason this was taken at reasonably short notice was because of the spike in spain that we responded to, which came... we we responded to, which came... we were following that and that's where it happened. it was the real—time response, the data we were getting from spain, that we had to respond to very swiftly. dominic raab saying it was a real—time response but that real—time response is frankly catching a lot of people on the hop. it is there in spain, someo

dominic raab was saying they have to be able to take real—time decisions. the data only came into them on friday, the data from spain. they had looked at that date and decided immediately on the quarantine programme. absolutely the government has to make these decisions but has dominic raab said, they had the date on friday and some european countries made their decisions on friday but it is impossible for holiday—makers to have any confidence in booking holidays if the government is going to announce new quarantine measures at eight o'clock on a saturday that come in at midnight. that's four hours notice. that's not sensible for anybody. it has to be in a more orderly manner so that people can plan what they are going to do with their holidays. what about people saying there should be a more targeted response? in other words, targeting people coming from the areas of spain that have got quite high rates of infection. we were just talking to joe high rates of infection. we were just talking tojoe and he was saying they were hardly any cases they are. shou

a coalition that the dominic raab says uk should be a pa rt dominic raab says uk should be a part of. the uk is really clear that we need to work with our american friends, as well as other partners together in the international system together in the international system to protect our freedoms and interests, and stand up for our values. we will have more impact when we were together. here's our political correspondent rob watson on why the uk seems to be so keen to shore up its relationship with the us. it's another feature of life, if you like, in post brexit britain, which is on the one side, the domestic divisions, but also the other is the necessary pivot away from brussels to get closer and closer to washington. because after all, the uk doesn't want to be alone ina all, the uk doesn't want to be alone in a world where it sees threats from russia and from china. now while mr pompeo praised the uk for siding with the us, beijing has once again slammed the uk for meddling in china's business and hong kong affairs. translation: china urges the uk to wa ke translation: china urges

dominic raab is address parliament tomorrow, what can we expect?” think we got a pretty clear hint from the foreign secretary today that he is prepared to rip up the extradition treaty with hong kong. we will find out for sure when he speaks to mps tomorrow afternoon. sanctions are likely to be more complicated and take more time but they are certainly an option too. as you heard, the chinese have threatened a robust response from patients if that is the route the government goes down, which points toa government goes down, which points to a ratcheting up of tensions with china over the next few weeks and months. some tory mps look at the huawei decision last week and want the government to go further, looking at other critical infrastructure, things like nuclear power plants, technology, the social media app tiktok. but it is notjust china, we saw an increase in the rhetoric on russia last week with the government accusing russian spies are trying to hack into the uk's coronavirus vaccine programmes. we will see more of that in the coming days as w

britain's foreign secretary, dominic raab, accuses the chinese government of carrying out human rights abuses against its uighur population. it is deeply, deeply troubling. and the reports of the human aspect of it from forced sterilisation to the education camps are reminiscent of something we have not seen for a long, long time. meanwhile, china's ambassador to london tells the bbc the uk's decision to drop huawei from its 56 networks is a bad move for the country. more than 250,000 coronavirus cases in 2a hours — the largest single—day global rise in cases since the start of the pandemic. borisjohnson says he doesn't believe another nationwide lockdown will be needed — even if there's a second spike of coronavirus this winter. no deal — yet — eu leaders meet for an unscheduled third day of talks on a post—coronavirus economic recovery plan. and watford sack their manager — nigel pearson — with just two game to go in the premier league season — as the club fight to avoid relegation. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with

it is a lwa ys disagreements —— dominic raab. it is always important for a british foreign secretary to put down a marker that we are not simply a poodle to the united states, where ever the balance of power lies, and we know it lies in washington, but it is not just we know it lies in washington, but it is notjust a case of britain a lwa ys it is notjust a case of britain always rolling over and saying, whatever you want, we will do. although mike pompeo would not specify was that he wanted britain to do in addition to what they have already done, i think we know that the us would like to see targeted sanctions against named chinese individuals, something that dominic raab has hinted he might be moving towards but for instance over the treatment of the muslim minority in china, he said it is very difficult to gather evidence that is water tight against specific chinese individuals and named them and then ta ke individuals and named them and then take action against them, ditto hong kong, but there is undoubtedly enormous transat

that was dominic raab a short time ago in the commons. let's get more reaction now from claudia mo, a member of hong kong's legislative council and pro—democracy campaigner. what is your reaction to the net announcement today on extradition from the foreign secretary in the commons? well, it's not surprising at all given the anti—china sentiment in the international community as of today. my first thought is actually the fact that this new decision on the part of the uk government could and should help nathan lowe, a young activist, who has fled hong kong and is now in london and he is apparently quite susceptible under this new security law that has been slapped on hong kong by beijing. do you see a kind of increasing war of words between britain and china, notjust over hong kong, but over issues like huawei and the treatment of the uighurs as well? there is quite a showdown really at the moment. but then the fact that the uk is a signatory to the sino british joint declaration tells one that the government, your government, should s

we are dominic raab talking about human rights abuses. i do think it is really important that the uk government reflects on its owfi arms the uk government reflects on its own arms sales. if you look at the arms sales that have gone to saudi arabia and the campaign in yemen which is resulting in thousands of people dying. humanitarian crisis. the uk government has been supplying those arms for those human rights atrocities. it's an issue here at home, it's worth noting that last year, it said the uk government should not continue to sell arms to saudi arabia and that they were found to be, it was found to be unlawful, given what was happening in yemen, and there was a new story around two weeks ago in the garden that suggested that there was still soitie that suggested that there was still some forms of sales going on, some licenses continuing to operate, which allows for the export of fighterjet which allows for the export of fighter jet components and which allows for the export of fighterjet components and aircraft maintenance to saudi

what i really want now from dominic raab and boris johnson what i really want now from dominic raab and borisjohnson is what i really want now from dominic raab and boris johnson is a what i really want now from dominic raab and borisjohnson is a clear and structured timetable plan that will bring anne sacoolas back. we know the united states does not have a leg to stand on any more, but what are we going to do? are we going to suspend the extradition treaty if they are not going to reciprocate with us, should we stop sending over there? my son turned 17 next month, he will be learning to drive around this base, should we say enough is enough? my son is entitled to go out and drive around this base really. should we be talking to him about liberty? look, actions have consequences. liberty? look, actions have consequences. the united kingdom appears tojust consequences. the united kingdom appears to just be the consequences. the united kingdom appears tojust be the united states's lapdog at the moment. i have asked manik raab in a lengthy meeting this morning to come out and set out a pl

what do we expect from dominic raab tomorrow? we got the strongest indication yet that extradition treaty with hong kong is going to be suspended because of concerns about china's actions there, the statement in the commons tomorrow is likely to confirm that, we have heard about the option of sanctions too, on senior chinese official, i think if the government decides to go down that road, although there is legislation to allow it, it will ta ke legislation to allow it, it will take longer, so i won't expect that imminently. but we heard from the chinese ambassador if that does happen, beijing is promising that resolute response, and it all seems to point towards a further escalation of these tensions, in the weeks and months to come and remember, there are conservative mps who are pushing the government to go even further after that huawei decision last week. they are questioning whether china should be involved in other areas of critical infrastructure, like nuclear power. they are looking at technology, and saying is, are ther

dominic raab said he'd been beated and tortured. the foreign secretary paid tribute to sergei magnitsky‘s wife and son. their loss, they can be proud of sergei's courage which inspires to hold up a torch on behalf of all of those who perished and suffered at the hands of those we designate today and to keep the flame of freedom alive for those brave souls still suffering of those dark corners of the world. there was widespread support across the commons. and for too long, the uk has been a haven for those who use corruption, torture and murder to further their own ends. today, i hope since a strong message that the uk is not their home and that their dirty money is not welcomed here. she also welcomed the action against those involved in the murder ofjamal khosoggi. can i gently say to him in that today is not the day for responding across the dispatch box if it marked the start of a more consistent approach towards saudi arabia and the arms sales from this country that are being used to harm innocent civilians in yemen. the snp p

dominic raab. the health secretary has welcomed the latest news on a coronavirus vaccine developed by oxford university. trials involving just over 1000 people show the injection led to them making antibodies and t—cells that can fight coronavirus. the findings are promising but it is still too soon to know if this is enough to offer protection and larger trials are under way. the uk has already ordered 100 million doses of the vaccine. in the commons, matt hancock updated mps. today, oxford published a very encouraging report in the lancet showing that its phase one and two trials are proceeding well. i can report to the house that the trial showed that the oxford vaccine produces a strong community response in patients in terms of both antibody production and t—cell responses. and that no safety concerns have been identified. this is promising news and it takes us one step closer to finding a vaccine that could potentially save lives all around the world. he said another solution was to devel

britain's foreign secretary, dominic raab, said there were ‘gross human rights abuses going on there and that he found it deeply troubling. it comes amid a rise in diplomatic tension between the two countries. caroline hawley reports. hong kong in crisis. the protests have been going on for months and the fate, the future of britain's former colony is straining relations. china's decision to impose new security laws, undermining hong kong's autonomy, has dramatically escalated tensions between beijing and the west. as britain prepares to step up its response, a warning from china. if uk government go that far, goes that far, to impose sanctions on any individuals in china, china will certainly make resolute response to it. but britain feels it must act when it can no longer trust the independence of hong kong's legal system. i said we would conduct a review of our extradition arrangements, and also a range of other measures that we might wish to take. i've now, with the home secretary and the rest of government, concluded that review. i will update the house of commons on what furthe

the british foreign secretary, dominic raab said it was clear the uighur minority in china have suffered human rights abuses. it is clear that there are gross human rights abuses going on, which is why, in new york, sorry, in geneva, the un, we raised this with 27 partners. first time it has been done to call out the government of china for its human right abuses of the uighurs, also hong kong, so we are working with our international partners on this, and it is deeply, deeply troubling. and the reports and the human aspect of it from forced sterilization to the education camps are reminiscent of something we have not seen for a long, long time. some breaking news coming into us from sussex police now about a stabbing incident at the royal sussex county hospital. a man arrested and police and security staff working to ensure the safety of everyone there, they say that the sussex police at 8a2 this morning, the police were called to the hospital in brighton. it was after a report that a member of staff had separatist dad wound. the hospital say police —— had suffered a stab wound to s

the foreign secretary, dominic raab, is expected to suspend its extradition treaty with hong kong this afternoon, after beijing's imposition of a controversial security law in the territory. prime minister borisjohnson says the uk cannot ignore human rights abuses in china. our political correspondent iain watson reports. demonstrators iain watson reports. in hong kong, just hours demonstrators in hong kong, just hours after beijing introduced a sweeping new national security law at the end of last month. 200 people we re at the end of last month. 200 people were arrested within 2a hours. the government has said that up to 3 million british overseas passport holders and their families will now be eligible to settle and work in the uk, if they no longer wanted to live under chinese rule. today, ministers are about to go further, suspending a long—standing tradition treaty with hong kong. you will be hearing later on from the foreign secretary about how we are going to change our extradition arrangements to reflect our concerns about what is happening with the security law in hong kong

dominic raab said these regulations were a "first step". members of northern ireland's assembly have debated a motion criticising sinn fein ministers over their attendance at the funeral of senior ira figure bobby storey. the motion drawn up by the dup, uup, alliance, and the sdlp called on the deputy first minister michelle 0'neill and finance minister conor murphy to apologise amid claims they broke coronavirus guidelines. critics have suggested social distancing was not maintained in crowds that lined the streets, that dozens of people attended a requiem mass and that ms 0'neill posed for a photograph at milltown cemetery where a man put his arm around her shoulders. michelle 0'neill has already apologised "for grieving families experiencing more hurt" but insisted she did not break the rules. more than 30 in attendance. hundreds more behind them in a procession. widespread advertising of an event. installing a public address system in the cemetery, a mass rally in a cemetery. posing for selfies. and yet, the deputy first minister contin

well, this lunchtime, dominic raab has clearly pointed the finger of blame at russia. he said, and let me read you, it is almost certain that russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election through the online amplification of illicitly acquired and leaked government documents. he doesn't point the finger of blame directly at president putin. he says there is no evidence of a broad spectrum russian campaign in the general election forced up but bear in mind this comes as tension has been moving to the threat from china and the possible moves by the chinese to gain a foothold in britain. perhaps we should keep our focus on russia, at all this, of course, just days before we learn that there is to be published, at long last, that report by the security committee into russian involvement in the last general election. norman smith, many thanks. a group of scientists, including 15 nobel laureates and other prominent figures, are calling for volunteers to be deliberately exposed to coronavirus after receiving a vaccine, to see if it offers protection. let's sp

the uk foreign minister dominic raab said the government needed to be able to "gauge the data in real time" to prevent reinfection. authorities in spain are insisting their country is safe for tourists, despite new quarantine measures the uk has announced for people who travel there. the british foreign office has advised against all non essential travel to mainland spain. but the canary and balearic islands are exempt which means you could still go on your holiday there. but all travellers returning from spain including its islands into the uk must enter a 14—day quarantine on their return. with more details on today's developments here's our correspondent andy moore. pa: face coverings are required at all times. manchester airport saw some of the last flight arriving from spainjust minutes before the midnight deadline. these women had brought forward their departure to avoid quarantine. it was crazy. it all happened so quickly. no—one knows what's going on in there. it's mad, isn't it? yeah, we were supposed to come back on monday and we just got the next flight home. how do you
