As the third round of brexit negotiations continues in brussels today, a major body representing uk manufacturers is warning britain is already facing a brain drain with skilled workers from across europe turning their backs on the country. If we have a look at a survey released this morning by the eef, it found that a quarter of manufacturers have seen a decrease in applications from eu nationals. Meanwhile, 16 have seen the number of eu nationals actually leaving their business going up. Kpmg also released its own report this week, and it predicts one million eu nationals that currently work in the uk are now considering leaving. However, the vast majority of eu nationals living in this country at the moment do consider the uk as a very or quite attractive place to work. If you look at the relationship between the two, the uk exports train and 36 billion worth of goods, while the eu sends back 376 billion. So in purely economic terms at least its going to be beneficial for both sides to get the issue of workers rights resolved sooner rather than later.

Translation we must all act together, from the source countries to europe and passing by the transit countries, especially libya, in order to be efficient. Its a challenge as much for the eu as for the african union. Most of the migrants are west african, fleeing war, poverty and political upheaval. African and european leaders are trying to build a new relationship, cutting migration from north africa in return foraid.

I expect time that agenda will be any attempt to repair the moribund Peace Process. And all of that after the visit last week from a senior white house delegation.

Of course, the long standing policy position of Donald Trumps predecessors. Antonio guterres on monday was emphatic about this point. He said that he had a dream of israelis and palestinians living side by side into states in peace and security.

Something that is more than a provocation, more serious. He sends a missile overjapan. Yet, it is not provocative enough, like sending it towards guam which would warrant action by the United States. This was quite clever by kim jong un, actually. This was quite clever by kim jongun, actually. What reaction due expectancy from the International Community . There will be condemnation, more sanctions. There will be not much the us can do and thats why i say this was a carefully calibrated decision on where and how to shoot this missile. Because what can the us really do besides the normal course of action, like sanctions. Showing force with south korean government to show force. It doesnt really change the equation. What about the Un Security Council . They are due to meet today. Do you expect to hear anything new from them . They could come up with a resolution of statement that again, it is all in the ballpark of what we can do. This is kind of a problem after the rhetoric coming out of the Trump Administration where he said fire and fury, locked and loaded. Now he says north korea is not showing respect. He says a lot of things but now us is not in a position where they can do much about this. What about the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe . Why do you think they didnt do anything to intercept the missile . Because interception is a very provocative act still. You still have to think through the consequences of intercepting. I think this still helps shinzo abe because next time they can possibly try to intercept or it helps the argument that japans military needs to normalise because there is the continued threat coming from north korea. So far, we have had lots of words, comments and sanctions. What if you get will take to stop north korea . Stopping north korea from continuing with its nuclear programme, perfecting its nuclear arsenal, to be honest, i dont think there is a lot of options that the us has on the table to stop north korea from pursuing this course.
