N. Security Council Earlier this week for. The security general of the u. N.

This isnt a unique situation many governments on their own are creating these coordinated and authentic Networks Online in order to spread their messages and and attack their rivals or in some cases as were seeing here with the u. A. E. Pages that came down a p. R. Company was paid to post messages in. Support of the. Policies and so its certainly not new but its becoming much more prevalent and like you said its not just facebook we recently observed similar patterns happening on twitter with around 100 twitter accounts working in coordinated fashion to support the u. S. Interests in the region i wouldnt say whats going on right now is unprecedented in fact if anything its happening more often in recent months weve seen facebook take down pages that have been associated with supporting interests in russia pages that were coming out of thailand out of 100 or us there was also a recent large number of pages in fact that were connected to a Political Campaign company in israel called Archimedes Group in which they were posting information in support of different politicians and different causes all over the world but they were all in each case they were all pretending to be someone they actually warns and so whether its a. A government actor thats organizing these and off at it you know authentic campaigns or in some cases their commercial interest being paid by someone else to do it it feels like its becoming a weekly occurrence and thats because it pretty much says at this point.

We crossed over yesterday and we didnt have any problems here but a large quantity of corn but this morning we came back to get our goods and they forbade us from crossing into rwanda because the Customs Office was not working quiet about it and he said its because of the polar.

Iran and the u. A. E. Will strengthen an expanded their Maritime Border Security cooperation a deal was signed by to irans signed in tehran by irans Border Police commander and iraqs police it follows a number of incidents in the gulf those are the headlines inside stories next. How much of a threat is briggs it to the unity of the u. K. Or johnsons been touring the union as a no deal exit looms trying to reassure those worried about the european divorce but he believes them as he convince the skeptics or is the kingdom fracturing even further this is inside story. Hello everyone im come on santa maria welcome to inside story were talking about the u. K. Today or if we were to use its official name the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland but there are a lot of questions right now over that 1st would unite it and its not just because of braggs it which is now just 3 months away consider this when was the last time a british Prime Minister visited the home countries that is wales scotland or Northern Ireland and faces protest at every stop lets go through it heres Boris Johnson starting out in edinburgh he was met with geas and boos from protesters which actually forced him to leave via the back door of beauty house the official residence of scotlands 1st minister inside his hosts nicholas sturgeon expressed her discontent shall we say with johnsons brags that plans she spoke about a catastrophic almost inevitable path to a no deal breakers that remember most scottish people didnt want to leave the e. U. Although many do support the idea of leaving the u. K. Itself sturgeon says she wants to pass the framework bill for another referendum on Scottish Independence next year. Then its on to wales where johnson was seeking support for his briggs it plans from the countrys Agricultural Sector the welsh Farmers Union has warned him leaving the e. U. Without a deal would cause quote civil unrest in rural areas many british farmers rely heavily on trade with europe and a no deal scenario could be costly for their business wales are also important right now because of a byelection on thursday in the seat of brick and radnor show which Johnsons Conservative Party is trying to hold on to and lets make it 3 from 3 Northern Ireland his last stop Boris Johnson didnt receive the warmest welcome either not publicly booed this time but maybe thats because he was far away from the protesters there is broad consensus that leaving the e. U. Without a deal could be dramatic because of the land border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland which will become a border into europe if no deal happens that soon phone party says the government must call the referendum on irish unity immediately however but not forget Northern Irelands been without a City Government since the year 2017. All right thats the rundown and here is todays panel to look at the state of the u. K. At the moment we start in london where tholen wager who is a Research Associate with the u. K. In a changing Europe Initiative that is at Kings College london and berlin jonathan les is Deputy Director of british influence approach european think tank and on skype from dinner in scotland alastair susi a writer on Scottish Political Affairs gentlemen welcome to you all i might actually go back to my original question which i asked earlier in the introduction pace and that was when was the last time a u. K. Prime minister got this sort of reception all over the u. K. I know that no leader is going to be universally liked but jonathan the let me start with you this was pretty embarrassing for a new Prime Minister. Its massively humiliating and it illustrates something very important about Boris Johnson which is hes an extraordinarily divisive Prime Minister perhaps the most divisive Prime Minister in modern times just a week into his premiership where normally Prime Minister starts off with a bounce a popular goodwill and popularity but because Boris Johnson is so reviled for his long career in public this is a rather Public Service is long reputation for his honesty and his instrumental role in the brics the referendum which is of see such a divisive issue that people just dont see that he is a man that really has anyones interests at heart other than his own and has been very clearly expressed in scotland and wales and in the Northern Ireland Political Parties as you can see and with a Prime Minister who is sort of blackmailing ireland if you like telling islands to abandon its basic economic and political interests to sort of like the desires of Boris Johnson is going to endear him even less. To that country and the rest of the rest the u. K. So in your eyes and jonathan Boris Johnson is and ill use this description he has a has a product or symptom which one is that of the disunity in the u. K. Absolutely the problem the problem of course johnson well one of the many problems with Boris Johnson is that hes actually not as popular as the conservative party thinks he is the reason that the conservatives elected Boris Johnson was that they thought that he was a winner so they overlooked his many kind of gaffes and verbal and verbal or sort of a journalistic errors and offensive remarks over the last few months alone the last years and he suddenly became the number one candidate because they thought that he could win but that was actually very outdated notion because the only time hes really won was in london and that is the food bricks it london is london now thinks very little of Boris Johnson because of his role and embrace it and of course scotland as he said was very opposed to price that wales is now much more remain that it was in 2016 and as you say there is huge concern about a no deal bricks in there in the rural areas of wales because the farming industry and in Northern Ireland people are talking about the break up of the good friday agreement which would be a direct result of a no deal breaker so Boris Johnson has very little to show from self alastair so its the internet and lets bring you in seeing as jonathan has talked about some of the journalistic remarks and comments in the past of Boris Johnson i cant help but remember back and its a while back now admittedly but 2005 in the spectator when he wrote about government by a scot is just not conceivable in the current constitutional context he was talking about gordon brown back then i mean just on that comment and you can see why the scottish perhaps dont like him but again that reception he got there and the fact that you had to leave by the back door and Nicholas Stoughton said that had never happened before. Its all its all a bit extraordinary really. Yeah no i mean it certainly is i mean you know he said its some you know pretty unsavory things about scotts. Or you know over the years as he said its you know he said again what a scar it is inconceivable you also published you know when he was editor of the spectator he published a poem you know which called scottish people barrowman and said that they should be placed in ghettos that was when he was editor of the spectator sees that many you know he said many rules and you know he also has this sort of streak of sort of english nationalism hes very privileged he was privately educated and you know hes kind of embracing and or your breath said hes saying by the 1st of october of this you know if thats the way were going thats that we were going and ollies phones are our you know aspects that starts you know do not embrace asshole and that is why. Partially at least he got the reception in the member of no i mean if you think about an umbrella an umbrella of course the capital of scotland but its also very pro union. And you know the 2 biggest cities in scotland the edinburgh and glasgow no that was there essentially got quite a crew union park to scotland glasgow is actually quite a. Pro national and simple to yes to in but send them back into those reports so you know just wonder what would have happened if it had to done the same thing in glasgow and does all of this feel the independence debate again ive heard people describe the independence debate as being something that is sort of comes and goes ive heard it described perhaps more pejoratively as a National Sport does it get real impetus now and not just because of doris jones and lets not lay it all at his door but just because of the state of affairs coming out of westminster. Sure it does i think it does for several reasons it does its got real traction back in 2 days and 40 scholars loyal to its a 55 percent 45 percent to remain in the u. K. So that was a clear result in favor of staying in the union 45 percent is pretty high it doesnt take very much to be about 45 percent to about 50 and the call since then has been 45 percent you know even more than once and they always hold their own the late fortys so detraction it has now if you think back to the end that was aspirational 45 percent but it was an aspirational world knows theres real traction behind the traction with rex it starts to vote for break said theres traction with Boris Johnson a lot of sports dont want Boris Johnson distraction with a new director set started in one breaks in the 1st place let alone a new director and so all of these things no receiving end to the independence debate up here and considering back in 2014 the opinion polls that support for independence are in the late twentys and that parities and ended up 40 percent in the you know list takes queen conceivable 40 by her you know percent couldnt reach 515253 of course its not its not a likelihood its not you know you wouldnt say that its probable but you would say theres a definite possible and i do lets bring you into the conversation from london weve talked a lot about Boris Johnson weve talked a lot about scotland there but you know the overarching thing at the moment is this idea that the u. K. Were clear the it is fractured but that could fracture even further and for hecht alastair wrote a piece for aljazeera dot com called Boris Johnson be the you could he be the u. K. s last Prime Minister are we overstating things to say that the u. K. Is so fractured so lets talk about wales and Northern Ireland and england as well that it could. Disband in one form or the other eventually or at some point. I dont see not thats impossible at all from where were standing johnson was elected on a mandate by conservative members and when conservative members were polled by a youth of Polling Company they said they would accept the breakup of the union and even the breakup of the conservative party to ensure that breaks it happens his mandate is to ensure whatever whatever costs the breaks it happens that said if he is the last Prime Minister of the union he will be fully aware that hell get on the history as the leader of the of the u. K. That lead to its lead to its disbanding and that will go away very heavily and thats why you see him go to scotland wales and Northern Ireland this week its very likely that well have another poll on on on on independence in scotland soon the conservative party have 13 m. P. s in scotland and essentially with the election of Boris Johnson theyve written off those 38. 00 seats. And its also possible actually and this was something that they wouldnt realise before the referendum that the breaking point that the thread that im on on which it all unravels could actually be ireland and the possibility of a board a poll in ireland even potentially before we have another 2nd referendum in scotland isnt it actually also really important that we get a government in ireland Northern Ireland i should say as well. Yeah and thats and thats become increasingly difficult now we have of course for drugs president premiership hes gone to belfast this week before he met the Cross Community leaders in belfast he met with the d. D. P. He relies on for their support in the house of commons so he is not seen as an honest broker in that negotiation to restart power sharing in Northern Ireland so its really difficult to say that happening before potentially ardbeg and the bringing back direct rule to Northern Ireland will be essential if we have a no deal breaks it and that brings with it all sorts of political problems for that for that part of the u. K. So heres the overarching problem that i think i see gentlemen from listening to what youve all said there on these various topics and it is the word disconnect now people all over the world in democracies often feel a disconnect from the politicians they think they they they dont really know whats going on in an everyday persons life i think in the u. K. At the moment it is you know this is amplified it is a complete disconnect between the countries between the people in westminster. Actually what and i start with you alan seeing as you are in london what do you think this u. K. Government lets not just say Boris Johnson lets talk about the government what can they do to promote some actual unity or is the mandate in the direction of the conservative party always going to be going against unity. I think because Boris Johnson was elected to unify the bricks and unify the right of british politics he wasnt elected as a unifying candidate for the whole country is the core aim the core purpose the rationale behind electing Boris Johnson for conservative party m. P. s and members was all of it is that bit of the bricks of party and the knowledge of mere preelection would return to Boris Johnson that means that his aim and everything he does should be viewed through the prism of the electoral politics of that not through any sort of grand plans unify the union or unify politics or get through practice it in any sort of gay civil or way that could actually unite the country jonathan what do you think about unity how would this government go about it how does it say to scotland yes we do care about you and your your your independence or at least your desire to be more independent yes northern and we worry about you in the border yes whales we worry about your agriculture all of these sorts of things it is in any iraq actually probably a tough job it is the problem is that they have no desire the Boris Johnson show no desire to even attempt that because if he cared about the views of Northern Ireland. New did not answer the d. P. But the majority of people north annoyed and he said he didnt want bracks said and he was very very concerned about the feature of ireland Northern Ireland relations. Hardbacks or no deal breaks it then he wouldnt be saying we should get rid of the backstop hed be saying lets have the backstop because peace in Northern Ireland the prosperity and stability of Northern Ireland is were important than anything hes not saying that hes saying the brics that is the most important thing but why would he want. Donovan in wales why would he not want that unity i dont to get into too much psychoanalysis of Boris Johnson the the man but you know the United Kingdom the clues in the title. The reason is im afraid that its not about unifying its about exactly exactly as they as the other panelists said its about unifying the bricks that Boris Johnson is not the Prime Minister for 100 percent of the british people no to see who is the other purporting to be really hes a Prime Minister not even 50 percent of the British Population or the richer british or that british voters are very set for breaks that he is a Prime Minister for 33 percent of voters who want a no deal breaks it that is the that is the kind of proportion of the population that hes trying to unify in fear of knowledge of herat and the brics the party on his right flank he doesnt really care about any of those other issues if he cared about the farmers in wales he would be talking about a no deal bracks which would destroy them if he cared about Scottish Independence hed be saying that scotland would have more of a say in the negotiations but in that hes actually continuing the kind of that the line that theresa may quinn she was Prime Minister which was the bracks it was a most important objective the union came 2nd and that is why i went to resume a how the over cheesey sustain a Single Market and Customs Union which would have kept Northern Ireland and ireland completely aligned she decided not to do that because she thought the brics it and specifically leaving the Single Market was more important alastair indian and im looking for some good news here because everyone says the unfortunate impression im getting is that 3 months from now the u. K. Is going to be basically driven off a cliff is it that bad in your opinion. For the u. K. As a whole i mean you can you know i mean it its so impossible to tell what is going to happen from one minutes or the next one hour its in the next not just in scotland but in britain and across the world things that happened an occurrence that we never thought would happen you know donald trump was president Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. You know the prospect of Scottish Independence which was you know i mean i split not that long ago was seen as a during you know it wasnt seen as something that was not any serious and but over the last 12 years since the Scottish National party took control of the Scottish Parliament to those in 7. 100 when it was control ready this is again you know something that has been on the agenda. You know will we be on the 31st of october with a new deal yet theres a pretty good chance will something happen in between to start that yes again has a very good chance and i think and you know with respect to scotland though and if its. Scotland did not vote for a new deal that would be very very bad for the use and if it can somehow muster something that gets some kind of deal that could that could stave off things for a period of take i mean perception and we you know we shouldnt border states the prospect of Scottish Independence there are. Ways of you know getting the support in scotland across the borders of scotland for instance the border between scotland and england in edinburgh for instance so you know i dont you know that. You know conservative supports but the s. N. P. Since 2007 and in both the Scottish Parliament and you know elections and west minutes there are elections managed to increase their or share increase their seats you know consolidate their seats and their whole share even though its going up and going to be that but were talking 12 years ago and you know Scottish Independence. Its something to be honest i wouldnt be shuttle short did it happen gentlemen crystal ball time. Theres 2 other scenarios i want to explore aside from the idea of breaks it or no deal briggs it and that is a general election. Or a 2nd referendum on briggs because both have been touted by various players lets start with alan the idea of a general election at some point as all 3 of you have made the point Boris Johnson has not been elected by the people hes been appointed by the conservative party and he got 2 thirds of the vote in that ballot is there a prospect of a general election here and how do you think the electorate the people will respond. It looks more and more likely therell be a general election for the basic reason that Boris Johnson will hit the buffers either intentionally or otherwise of the parliamentary arithmetic which is against his bracks it strategy and that will force him into elections they need to do that beforehand before hes forced or he will think that she is quite good to be forced into it so he can say its the parliament versus the people im going to mandate for going to get a mandate and no deal for the for the bricks of the you voted for 3 years ago out of the parliament is stopping me and that he hopes thats the sort of strategy that will win him that 33 percent of the vote that jonathan was talking about i mean the signs are so far these had this sort of brief bounce in in support and he has managed to successfully align the brakes supporters to the point where a poll just an hour ago put the brakes of party down on 9 percent when they were polling double that couple of weeks ago so its entirely possible we get to an election where with the remain party fracture between the liberal democrats the labor party and the conservative party managing to align with a 3rd of the vote in our electoral system winning. Winning a majority of seats not commons thats thats thats not impossible from there i think alan actually a general election could be really interesting because all the talk is about how boris well Boris Johnson wasnt elected by the people but there is a he does have he is a popular he was a popular mayor of london theres always been talk about him becoming the leader of the party or the Prime Minister and if it actually goes out to the people and he doesnt get a lot of support well then that son of the more he can say right i was right all along you didnt want me yet he can go and see that that mandate is his negotiating strategy he could be probably quite quite. He wont need to necessarily say im pushing a no deal he can even say give the give a message to the European Union that that we dont want the current deal we want Something Different and if not well go for a no deal so you can blow that a bit as well its entirely possible that a strategy could pay off theres a whole lot of risks he could lose all of the saves to the remain parties in morena part of the country that the conservative party all the seats in scotland are going to go its a risky strategy but it could be the only only route for him from for from there jonathan lists is there the prospect of a. 2nd break that referendum possibly. I would say that a general election is a 100 percent certainty and a 2nd referendum is very likely that his there is there is no way out of this and no deal is made now now a deal is basically become impossible were looking at either no deal which would be calamitous by the governments own admission really or no breaks or school and in those circumstances that be extraordinary pressure to have that 2nd referendum because the fundamental point is that there is no mandate for no deal and the bracks is have to admit that themselves theres a certain amount of revisionism going on at the moment where theres a saying you know we dates talk of the possibility of no deal before but thats simply doesnt bear up to any scrutiny the whole point of the bracks referendum was that it was going to give us a better deal increased prosperity the deal was going to be very easy and very quick now were talking about spending billions of pounds just to ensure that people dont die of insulin shortages which is not exactly what was promised in the referendum it certainly was written on the side of the boss so when when when people confronted with that eventuality theyll be immense pressure to have that referendum and some people are speculating that Burris Johnson might actually want that its because if you is to have a fracture which weve taken out of his hands if the people would say actually day one this new deal we wont see remain it could be that thats the only way that jones and his premiership because then he could actually be the Prime Minister he wants to g. s on thing stopped and then go on and lead into other things jonathan lists alastair seriously and alan wager ive really enjoyed talking to you about this and thats saying something because weve been talking about breaks at an awful lot for the last few years so thank you so much for joining us and of course thank you for watching this program and indeed all our previous editions or online at aljazeera dot com if you want have a look inside story in the shows section were also at facebook dot com.
