A new situations and a feeling of being abducted one mans long battle to overcome covert 19. Consistently important new like. Important places. And china wants the u. K. Over interference in hong kong as britain scraps an extradition treaty with its former colonies. I delayed Intelligence Report on russian interference in u. K. Politics has just been released it says theres evidence moscow has tried to meddle in elections it also says there is credible information that russia attempted to influence the 2014 Scottish IndependenceReferendum Committee says its hard to prove interference in the 2016 braggs it referendum but the u. K. Was slow to recognize the threat and it warns russias cyber capability is a matter of grave concern that poses an immediate threat to Britains National security but reacting to the report the u. K. Government says it isnt being complacent when it comes to the flow of russian money into the country. What we do know about russian influence in the u. K. Is that it is the new normal successive governments of welcome russian oligarchs and their money with out in homes and there is a lot of russians with very close links to. Putin who are now very well integrated into but both u. K. Business political and social scene it was referred to as lending as it london grad yet few if any questions of the National Guard the province of considerable wealth this open door approach has provided an ideal mechanism by which illicit finance could be recycled through the london laundromat ok for more on this lets bring in so you know in london i had a quick run through the report before we came on air sunday and as far as i can tell its very critical of the way that the u. K. Has been responding to perceived threats from russia almost to the point of turning a blind eye and disarray in the intelligence communities as well. Absolutely and the focus of rough really comes on to how not just one government but successive governments really have been really are uncurious to as to why how russia may have been tactical trying to interfere with the u. K. Democratic process and also with the evidence already being seen from the 2014th Scottish Independence referendum already obvious really sort of some very strong questions being pointed at the government of David Cameron as well as to why they didnt take the hint from that and why they launched on this other referendum brecks it referendum without seriously taking a look at what are the possible interferences they could have been now the intelligence and Security Committee is at pains to say that it is not going to be joining to any political observer of this box their observation is still they are stunned as to how there is this reluctance as it were even just this lack of curiosity as to do anything to try and stem what really was a very profound threat at the time still is considering that russia regards the u. K. As being a western target of its own intelligence tactics one of the thing that was noticeable from the report that they werent just including what one would perceive to be the hiking process is that russia or any other hostile state would go through but it was talking about using Government Television networks as well in social media to try to influence elections and yet it still comes back to this request really that this should be a massive overhaul of the Intelligence Services within the u. K. To try to do this. Yes indeed and putting that particular crime of cyber crimes for example and sort of scrutiny really needs to be a major focus according to the committee as well theyve said that the too long these kinds of issues have been sort of spread out across different Government Departments really not being controlled over by the intelligence agencies themselves and that that direct lack of focus that really has contributed to russia being able to uses its its own interference prices because there has been a lack of robust action taken by the u. K. As well now of course the u. K. Has said that it has the u. K. Government has said that there has seen no successful evidence of any interference into the brics it referendum as well but however this is something which is really impossible to know because of course these kinds of tactics that were being used to try and sway opinions were all taking place on social media as well it is very difficult to know at this time in the Public Domain as to how much of an effect that would have had in people and what who were the actors who were behind this also of course the government is going to take this stance as well because this is the government that took britain into or certainly taken britain into a bricks a future the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson was in was the face of the prominent brecks it campaign as well if there is anything to be found that would actually you know damage that notion at all that its going to be very damaging for him as well and of course for the exit process but it is going to raise more questions as well about that rob. Thank you very much indeed the sun your life for us in london. Well Patrick Diamond is an associate professor of Public Policy at Queen Mary University of london and he says the report shows the u. K. Has been ill prepared to deal with russian interference the report itself doesnt really contain a smoking gun in terms of highlighting incompetence all nefarious practice on the part of any particular individual or agency it really highlights in a sense systemic use use which had to do with the front of the British Government the british Intelligence Services and more widely the british system of democracy has not proved to be very resilient in terms of protecting itself against threats posed by potential russian and parents and the report does particularly highlight deficiencies around the Intelligence Services it argues that lead out and so is the should have been much more proactive investigating potential russian interference particularly in the 20 sects 2016 breaks it Referendum Campaign in terms of actually quantifying the impact of Russian Troops on the outcome of the referendums there is no robust evidence to suggest that russian interference necessarily changed the outcome of either referendum but of course the results of both were close and so in that sense and you percentage point separating the 2 sides so in that sense this parity speculation about whether. These kinds of social media activities really did affect the result or say i dont think thats the evidence that it did but in any close Referendum Campaign people are bound to look at these kinds of interventions and activities and think that they may have had a more decisive in fact its being hailed as a Pivotal Moment for europe a rescue deal worth nearly 860000000000 dollars to help economies ravaged by coronavirus their game and between the e.

Thailand has been relatively successful at handling the pandemic but its economy is struggling largely because it relies on tourism and exports things are tough for farmers particularly those who grow rice wayne hale reports from bangkok. Farming has never been an easy way to make a living but in thailand these are particularly tough times this year growers of rice and other crops have been hit hard on multiple fronts all beyond their control but. Theres not enough water to grow rice probably the rainy season arrived late this year and the water in the canal is true salty the farmer be in trouble if theres not enough rain soon because the drought was really bad this year.
