The freeman foundation. By judy and Peter Blum Kovler undation; pursuing solutions for americas neglected needs. And by contributions to this pbs station from viewers like you. Ank you. Welcome to outside source. Has given a blistering respoe. The the European Union has given their blistering response. It says it will take legal action unless thes u. K. Ba down. Pretty strong when it comeshe tou that was strong language. Images like this people say looks like something out of blade runner. Crazy. 11 15 in the morning and it is like the middle of the night. Finding shelter for thousands of migrants. And an indepth look at the continuing ravaging in china. Right. Latest development in the brexit story. Uthe europeon is threatening to take legal action over its controversial new legislation. They want to ignore last years withdrawal agreement, which they signed. They want to change matters concerning the european island. The European Union says that would be an acceptable. This is their vice psident in london today. He flew in for e with the cabinet minister and leading brexiteer. They do not appear to have when the talks concluded, European Commission says european the damage trash damaged trust. It would constitute an extremely Serious International law. We will explain whyathey believe o be the case in the moment. Initial analis of thewith his statement. The message from the eu is very car. I have spent time waiting through statementsincredibly dense and goal pross. This is pretty strong when it comes to the eu that was strong language,s strong as they normally use. The chief brexit negotiator atrepeed the same phrase three times. Have a listen. Trust and confince. Trust and confidenceill be key. This is all over northern ireland. The protocol comes withhe agreement the u. K. Signed. Northern ireland ipart of the u. K. And the republic of ireland is in the union. No checks on any since the peace deal 1990s which eioed decades ofnce and avoiding a heart border is seen as key to intaining the peace. Onthe european uhought both sides had agreed last year. They thought so because the u. K. Agreed to and signed a deal. That all seems to be again. Ay our correspondent has more. It is agreed Northern Island will continue to follow some eu customs rules. Extra paperworks, checks, and tariffs between Great Britain and northern ireland. Now, its own law, so u. K ministers could could decide how to apply the rules without the eu agreement. The u. K. Government ponlished an opi saying sovereign as a matter of domestic law and can pass legislation in breach of the u. K. Treaty obligations. Cabinet minister involved in todays emergency talks also spoke briefly to the media. A recognition that we have an obligation to the people of Northern Island to make sure nuthey con to have unfettered access. We as a gover hent alsoe an obligation we take equally seriously to make sure theth awal agreement and the protocol are implemented in a way to make sure the gains of secured and enhanced in the future. The union does not see it like that at all. In this tweet, here is the most scathing part of the statement. The eu does meant that the aim of the bill good friday agreement. Ing it is of the view that it does the opposite. Lets hear more in brussels. A sense in brussels that th government that they are trying to push the eu into the corner. We will not give them the satisfaction of walking out of these negotiations. But make no mistake. The mood is bad. It did not go ashe eu hoped. The eu wanted reassurances, guarantees from the government, that in the end, it would respect that deal signed last year. Did not get that and now the eus chief tradeegotiator in london today will start s,nversations with eu lead see exactly what they want to do next. All of which would have beenh expected bbritish government. It was known that this would prompt criticism at home and abroad. This statement was released. Reputation in the in theppers process. We have had a strong statement from brussels. Any further response from westminster . No. The gornment reiterated what we had heard already from the cabinet minister who is ise charge of ovng therexit process. It does seem that theres impasse. It is useful to think of its a two separate things going on at the same time. Already trade talks about the future relationship between the u. K. And the e they have been going on and on. The eighth round of those in taking place already today. Major stig points in those discussions already. Now what is throwisinto the mix oing bac to the deal already agreed. That has thrown this in the works. And now what it means for future trade talks, he had a message from the u. K. Government that they would proceed as planned with the introduction of the bill, internal markets bill, they would say it is aboutri protecting int of the United Kingdom and how Northern Island interacts with the rest of Great Britain as well as how it interacts with the republic of ireland. They are saying this is also a safety net ttry and protect e peace process. The eu is completely rejecting that. The disagreeme that was blown by the u. S. U. K. Government, there was a big who ha over that. Boris johnson heralded the deal and it was billed as a hr e success m. That is apparently being reopened and reinterpreted that has big implications fde talks because as you heard from michelle,. It undermines tru if the u. K. Will renege on last yest, how can we possibly t them when it comes to the future . An imposed deadline, that is when there is a Council Meeting in the e only a few weeks too, otherwise, no deal is an outcome for the u. K. By the end of the o month there can be no process and there will be future legal action. Thank you. Tweeting, i have not experienced such a profound deterioration of ioa negoti if you believe in the Partnership Like i do, then do the language is ramping up on all sides. More should you need it.

Our lead story throughm the prog is that the uks insisting will not withdraw the legislation that overrides key Brexit Agreement despite demanding it is scratched by the end of the month. Orgreek auies are continuing to work to provide shelter for thousands of migrants still stranded after a second fire in two days at a migrant camp on an island. This wiped out any remaining most of it had been burned down tuesday night. The fis continued to burn eeduring the day as you sn this report. The fires are still not out and every few hours, another one starts. The thickke smo filling the air is burning my eyes at the ment. Imagine this. 13,000 people, homes and livelihoods gone in an instant. Washington said it revoked visas o1000 chinese students. U. S. Said visa holders had ties to the Chinese Military and this is the latest on how china and in many different ways. Itself we will look at another example now. Every thursday, we make a report that the website which looks indepth at the story we covered in t the latest one picks up on that story in the u. S. Relationships beten china and australia are worsening. Ese academics had visas withdrawn from australia. Journalists had to leave china and that language is sharp. Do not do thingso harm the Cultural Exchange between the two countries teo dam mutual trust. It is much more than a regulation diplomatic spat. Here is why it matters. They have always had differences but australia and china found Common Ground in a hugely valuable trading relationship that gives china imports and australia it is unraveling at a pace that could not have been contemplated just s months ago. Lets see how that deterioration is looking. At its heart, we have australian concerns abo chinese actions in chinese anger and retaliation in return stop australia criticized chinas treatment of muslims. Chinas new security lawyern hong kong, and it banned hong kong from its 5g network and security grounds. Australia wants an International Investigation into how covid19 began in china. Chinas response to all of this is shaped by the knowledge that it is australias biggest trading partner. It knows its value. An 80 tariff on australian barley, restrictions oneef exports, and the possibility of an australian wine boycott. A highprofile host for the chinese control broadcaster and an australian citizen, has been detained on detaining chinas national security. While the two are falling out over covid19, the virus wanted a chinese stimulus pacge, which in turn decreased demand for chinese commodities. The question is, how long will that be given all of this political rhetoric, and are both sides willing to risk it . Lets be clear. Both sides havtheir eyes wide op. A former australian ambassador to china says, it is not an accidental and random incident whenhey decide to take action like this. Australia knew full well that his positions on huawei and covid19 would go down badly in beijing. So why are they doing it . This is abcs bill in having to leave china. Youot the general sense this warocess tha part of a bigger political game. Hat is this bigger political game . No less than a grand struggle tween china and the west it is about how we organize the global economy, how countries are held accountable, and also the belief in the morality of its actions. Prime mr. Morrison told australian ready that i will never trade our values in response to coercion from wherever it counts. That is the rub. The economic marriage of convenience worked while the west kept criticism down and China Limited its services on the world stage. Neither are keeping their side of the bargain now. China scoffs at the idea that america and its allies can hand out lectures on how to behave. This is useful from reuters on australia. It says the government of Scott Morrison has reached a stark new view of china. Not just a tap trading partner, but a threat to the nations sovereignty. The shift shows how countries are struggling to cope with chinas growing might. Australia standing up to china, watch closely. It may be a harbinger of things to come. That is why this is not any old diplomatic row. It is out how the west handles the Chinese Government that itdel he wants to be a major player in this pal game, but wants to decide the rules as well. At stake is the global balance of power. You can see thatnd all of the outside source reports on bbc News Youtube Channel the actress diana rig has died at the age of 82.
