Groups that have committed atrocities against civilians have bred a widespread culture of mistrust in the government in all stores the medical workers turn up in suits and masks saying that they need to take somebodys body away or that people need to be vaccinated and faced with enormous various communities quite simply dont trust the authorities that in this case may be trying to help them so that makes it very difficult for the medical response for the Health Response to be rolled out but were waiting to see whats going to happen in the coming weeks and months but so far this about outbreak has continued to spread now in the regional capital goma as weve just seen back on web live in nairobi thank you very much President Trump is back on the campaign trail taking his 2020 reelection bid to the city of Cincinnati Ohio there he launched a blistering attack on his democratic rivals but the issue of immigration soon became the big talking point how do you go castro.

How much of a threat is briggs it to the unity of the u. K. Or stones and been touring the union as a no deal exit wounds 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 briggs 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 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 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 the shin fein parties of the government must call the referendum on irish unity immediately however lets not forget Northern Irelands been without a sitting government since the 27 tane. 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 with alan 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 that 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 lets 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 that 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 dishonesty and hes instrumental role in the brics a 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 that 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 island if you like telling islands to abandon its basic economic and political interests to sort of satisfy the desires of Boris Johnson is going to endear him even less. To that country and the rest of the rest of the u. K. So in your eyes and jonathan Boris Johnson is and ill use this description heres a heres 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 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 he could win but that was actually very outdated notion because the only time hes really won was in london and that was before bracks it london is london now thinks very little of Boris Johnson because of his role in in brics 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 breaks 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 johnson has very little to show from self alastair so its the internet 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 then you can see why the scottish perhaps dont like him but again that reception he got there in the fact that he 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 you know he said again what a scar is inconceivable you also publish you know when he was editor of the spectator he published a poem you know which called scottish people barren and said that they should be placed in ghettos that was when he was editor of the spectator seats 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 annoy your breath said hes saying by the 31st of october that you know if thats the way were going thats that we were going and ollies phones are our you know aspects that scots you know do not embrace asshole and that is why. Partially at least you got the reception that met them or no i mean if you think about edinburgh and umbrella of course the capital of scotland but its also very cruel union. And you know the 2 biggest cities and saw in the edinburgh and glasgow no that was there essentially got in quite a cruel union park to scotland glasgow ready is actually quite a. Cruel national and simple to yes to in but send them back into those who were teaching 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 2014 scott its 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 us and they always hold their own the late fortys so the traction that it has now if you think back to the end that was aspirational 45 percent but it was an aspirational it knows theres real traction behind the trash and when rex it starts to vote for break senate theres traction with Boris Johnson a lot of sports dont like Boris Johnson has traction with the new deal break set starts that one breaks in the 1st place let alone a new deal breaker. And so all of these things theyre receiving end to the independence debate up here and considering back in 2014 be it the opinion polls that support for independence or a the late twentys in the bettys and ended up 45 percent of your list take a squint conceivable 40 but you know what percent reach 515253 of course its not its 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. Well clearly it is fractured but it could fracture even further and for hecht alastair wrote a piece for aljazeera dot com called Boris Johnson b. T. U. 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 in 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 yugo 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 led to its lead to its desponding and that was the way 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 of 13 m. P. s in scotland and essentially with the election of Boris Johnson they ran off those 13 seats. And its also possible actually and this was something that people didnt realize before the referendum that the breaking point that the thread that im on which 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 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 jokes of 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 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 he is the core aim the core purpose the rationale behind electing Burris Johnson for conservative party m. P. s and members was all of it is the base of the brics the party and for nigel in the european elections 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 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 Ireland we worry about you in the border yes wales we worry about your agriculture all of these sorts of things it is in any era actually probably a tough job it is the problem is that they have no desire to 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 northern ardent 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 arent the prosperity and stability of Northern Ireland is more important than anything hes not saying that hes saying the brics that is the most important thing but why would he want to use donovan in wales why would he not want that unity and i want 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 its Boris Johnson is not the Prime Minister for 100 percent of the rich people no to see who is the other purporting to be really hes the Prime Minister not even 50 percent of the British Population or the rich british voters is very sad for breaks it 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 when she was Prime Minister which was the breaks it was the 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 indiana 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 minute and thats when i know its in the next not just in scotland but in britain and across the world and things that happened that 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 ready was seen as a during you know it wasnt seen as something that was not deadly 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 well 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 see that could stave off things for a period of take i mean thats absolute perception and we you know we shouldnt war states the prospects of Scottish Independence there are. Ways of you know getting a sport 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 amongst you know conservative supports but its 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 horse 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 that to be honest i wouldnt be shocked if it happen gentlemen crystal ball time. Theres 2 other scenarios i want to explore aside from the idea of briggs it or no deal briggs it and that is a general election. Or a 2nd referendum on briggs it because both have been touted by various players lets start with 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 ballots 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 direct strategy and that will force him into elections 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 and 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 based 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 sounds of the more he can say right i was right all along you didnt want me. Yeah he can go and seek that that mandate pays for his negotiating strategy he can be probably be quite quite. He wont need to necessarily say im pushing a no detail 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 it out 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 states to the remain parties and more in a 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 man 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 with 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 that 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 schusters which is not exactly what was promised in the referendum it certainly was written on the side of the bus so when when when people confronted with that eventuality theyll be immense pressure to have that referendum and some people are speculating that Boris Johnson might actually want that its because if you as a have if rights they were to be taken out of his hands if the people would say actually day were in this new deal we wont see remain it could be that thats the only way that jones and dissolve which is premiership because then he could actually be the Prime Minister he wants a decent thing was stopped and then could 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 it down to 0 dot com if you want have a look inside story in the shows section were also at facebook dot com.

Court ordered japanese firms to pay compensation for using force labor during the 2nd world war. Japans decision is a reckless decision that projects diplomatic efforts to solve the problem and rather worsens the situation i express my deep regret more now from our correspondent in seoul rob mcbride. This was a very partisan speech by south koreas president moon j. N. Speaking from the emergency Cabinet Meeting he called to discuss this decision by japan it really reflected the indignation felt by many people here in south korea who regard this as a real slight it seems to be japan saying to south korea we dont trust you and this is from a country who moon said until this point has been one of south koreas closest neighbors and allies he laid the blame for all of this squarely on japan saying it was the japanese that rejected american calls for a timeout and to settle this through diplomacy and has also spoken about the potential impact on the south korean economy this is an economy that figures of shown is suffering still from the increased fallout from the dispute between the United States and china and that now faces a very grave threat from what he calls an attack on the korean economy regard to part of. The gravest matter for us is the fact that japans moves attack our economy and that it seeks to block our future growth its deeply disappointing that this is coming from a country weve considered our closest neighbor and ally in response to this we are expecting to see a surge in the Campaign Calling for the boycott of japanese goods weve had protests in the streets people not buying Japanese Cars boycotting other goods also a drop in the number of visitors traveling from here to tourist destinations in japan with a number of Airlines Cutting flights and so on as far as a government to Government Relations are concerned there is a real feeling here in south korea that is this is redefining the very relationship between south korea and japan and there is a concern from allies such as the United States about what. This will do 2 coordinated responses between japan and south korea 2 things like the increased missile activity from north korea the South Koreans are expected to announce measures in response to this but they do seem to be veering towards retaliation rather than reconciliation and north korea has launched a short range missile from its east coast according to the south Korean Military thats the 3rd launch in just over a week north korean state media releases images on thursday of the leader kim jong il no overseeing the test firing of a new rocket launchers system south korea says pyongyang fired 2 short range Ballistic Missiles. Expressed deep regret that north koreas missile launches including Ballistic Missiles could negatively affect efforts to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula so we will keep a close eye on the religious movements and prepare for the u. S. President didnt appear to be bothered by the tests short range missiles we never made an agreement to and that i have no problem well see what happens but these are short range missiles theyre very standard. And theres more u. S. Reaction at the Foreign Ministers meeting taking place in bangkok where our correspondents got hired. In just about the last week north korea has tested weapons 3 times 2 times during the r. C. On Foreign Ministers meetings here in bangkok now your secretary of state my campaign has been in town as part of these meetings and on friday morning he commented on how United States is approach to north korea and tension on the Korean Peninsula will remain the same. Having a meeting with chairman kim didnt give him a darn thing. It was an attempt that is ongoing to engage with them diplomatically to achieve an outcome that for decades has not been achieved many paths of been tried but theyve all been unsuccessful and so i was the 1st when i was the director of central the 1st one to travel to meet with chairman kim to begin this opportunity. Were still engaged and we hope that they will put their working group back together and meet with us before too long and when that working group will meet again remains up in the air for the last 10 years senior officials from north korea have attended the Foreign Ministers meetings but not this year donald trump has announced more tyrus on goods from china he says hes not happy with the progress of trade talks and wants a 10 percent tariff imposed on the remaining 300000000000. 00 worth of chinese imports ellen fisher has more from washington. The chinese u. S. Trade talks have been going on for more than a year and the americans thought they had a deal a few months ago but see that the chinese suddenly changed their position and that put everything into a state of flux and created the climate where more discussions were needed they also brought 25 percent tabs on 250000000000. 00 worth of chinese imports into the United States no further tired of swer put on hold when the 2 leaders donald trump and the chinese president met at the g. 20 in japan but after trade talks in shanghai over the last couple of days produced no real advancement donald trump said that he was going to impose further tariffs on u. S. Goods this time 10 percent on 300000000000. 00 worth of imports speaking before he left for a rally in cincinnati he said he believes the chinese want a deal theyre simply not moving fast enough now i think i think president ial somebody i like a lot i think he wants to make it but frankly is that going he said he was going to be buying from our farmers that he said he was going to stop it all from coming into our country its all coming out of there he didnt do that well is it thousands of people felt at all and this was 2 things to highlight 1st of all the United States believes that china is dragging its heels on making a deal for 2 reasons 1st of all that the longer this goes on then the u. S. Economy me we can and make donald trump very keen to do a trade deal with china the other with the 2020 alexion on the horizon they wonder if a different president might be easier to negotiate with the other thing is that donald trump has proven that yet again at the rally in cincinnati in ohio he doesnt quite understand what. Seeing that china is pouring money into the u. S. Economy that is not true it is businesses and people here in the United States who end up paying the tab of the reserve port just last week the see the trade war with china which you remember donald trump said should be quick and easy to when its costing the average American Family of 4 somewhere in the region of 2000. 00 a year.
