A stir has joined the nations expelling Russian diplomats in a coordinated response the poisoning or a former Russian spy and his daughter in the U.K. 2 members of the Russian mission have been ordered out of Australia speaking this morning in Canberra Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was unequivocal as to why his government is taking this action the brazen attack the criminal attack in the United Kingdom in Salzburg on the 4th of March was an attack on all of us it was an attack on the sovereignty of every nation that respects the rule of law and that is why we are taking this action today with another $23.00 nations around the world we are defining this recklessness this lawlessness of Russia and expressing in solidarity with the United Kingdom and other nations that share those values that we will not tolerate this type of reckless undermining of international law this reckless assault on the sovereignty of nations Sen under a claim of the chair of the Russian parliament's commission for the protection of state sovereignty it gave the B.B.C. His reaction to the expulsions and insisted that Russia has nothing to do with a nerve agent attack on former spy service could be pollen his daughter but that Russia is being unfairly blamed by the West I know by heart their position this is the same position within 200 years Russia is behind everything this is what we know for sure but we have no reason to be behind such kind of criminal acts no reason at all it is just rumors and propaganda nothing concrete just blaming Russia for nothing Well more now on those still un expulsions with film in Sydney yes morning Rob. Well what sort of representation is to diplomat big as the Russian mission Well it's not huge but I think it's a very symbolic measure for Australia Australia has had economic sanctions against Russia are in place for a couple of years now when Crimea was annexed from the Ukraine Australia took action then restricting imports and exports in between Australia and Russia there were financial sanctions travel bans for some individuals this action by Australia joining the US and many other European countries will be seen as an act of solidarity and very strict language very uncompromising language being used by the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying that the attack in will a couple of weeks ago was brazen and criminal and we've heard what the Russians think of this in a statement the Russians or Thor it is saying that they strongly condemn the expulsions by the United States and those other European countries so it seems that this diplomatic friction between Russia and so many other countries is likely to continue and there's really you know expect a tit for tat. What did suffer as a result of the sanctions after Crimea. Lost really has been imposing those sanctions as we say for quite a few years now and in response to this latest expulsion Australia are also expect we're expects once again to feel the wrath of Russia the foreign minister here Julie Bishop is saying that she well and truly believes that Russia intends to expel Australian diplomats from the Australian Embassy in Moscow and it's interesting that JULIE BISHOP The foreign minister hasn't ruled out other actions and she hasn't ruled out a possible boycott of Australia's participation in the World Cup later this year I think Australia wants to be seen to be standing with the United Kingdom and its other international allies these 2 Russian diplomats who will be expelled have been identified Australia Rod does quote and identified intelligence officers essentially Australia is calling them spies told them to leave the country within 7 days and as we say it follows the action taken by the United States and those other European countries and worth noting too that the British high commissioner to Australia many Rawlings has tweeted her thanks to the Australian Government for its support for the U.K. In were in the wake of that nerve agent attack in Salzburg and how closely followed the story. Making headline news it's been bumped off the front pages by the cricket scandal in recent days mind you but certainly the brazen nature of the attack in souls period few weeks ago really did intrigue Australians who was to blame why was it perpetrated in water the outcomes for the victims of the attack and what would the world wide a world do if it believe that Russia was responsible now the international community or a section of it quite clearly believes that Russia is to blame and we're seeing now that diplomatic action being taken and I would imagine that most Australians would support this diplomatic action by Australia it is quite limited it's only 2 people but once again it is symbolic it is Australia putting its head above the parapet and quite openly and loudly saying that the Russians have acted in that brazen and criminal manner and I think it's the language of Malcolm Turnbull that significant here not the number of diplomats being booted out of the country it's the fact that the Australian PM is saying such are uncompromising things directed towards Russia Moscow and Vladimir Putin. Phil thank you very much. Well a American actions spoke louder than any words when they announced that they were going to expel 660 Russian diplomats on Monday and I've been discussing this with Washington Post national security correspondent John Hudson I asked John if the U.S. Has ever expelled this many Russian diplomats No it hasn't and this is a question I was looking into earlier today because there's been a lot of tit for tat exposes ever since Trump took office in the wake of allegations of election interference. But this is singularly the the largest expose him if you go back to the 1986 in the Reagan administration there were 55. To the speech that I thought I had. And it wasn't Mr Trump himself who announced this but it was the White House. Is is there any diet the White House has now taken a tougher line on Russia after after a year of people demanding tough lines for other things and not very much happening . Well you know I would argue that the story of this administration has been a complicated mix of pretty hawkish policies toward Russia that just are not reflected by the rhetoric of the president I mean people forget that the trumpet ministration the president also signed off on antitank missiles to Ukraine and they closed the San Francisco come for last year there's been a number of you know tough positions that the administration has taken towards Russia but. It's never reflected in the words that Trump speaks and obviously the most recent example was the phone call with President Putin. Just happened a week ago where he congratulated him on the election and didn't raise. The poisoning in Kerry as his aides urged him to do in the briefing documents so the United States now is completely closing one consulate in Seattle and shutting it for the time being it's expelling 60 diplomats Presumably all of the stuff from Seattle how much of it I'm. Good on the Russian diplomatic presence in the U.S. . I mean it's very difficult if a kid because you know this is they're going to be expelled for America or they have to leave and so presumably get a lot of intelligence officials. Who have developed an cultivated an expertise in. Their craft in the United States and a lot of that is going to be. Not going to be operating in that environment any more obviously we're talking about the opaque world of spy craft. I'd be lying if I said I know exactly the expertise that Moscow is now going to lack as a result of these expulsions but the numbers speak for themselves a lot of personnel particularly shipping out of the United States. being Ready duplicated in a number of countries around the world and are those names could be published will you and your your colleagues be able to check the lists and see who's actually departed That's a great question and that is you know one of the many assignments that I'm sort of adding to my list. Is the questions unanswered at this point I have a little bit skeptical that Moscow is going to be forthcoming with. Her kind of skeptical who has the Trump administrator who will be forthcoming with that but it will certainly be working and we're trying to figure that out because there is there is a public list as there is an official diplomatic list of people who are admitted as as diplomats to the U.S. Or to any other country I mean you can you have to be able to look it up somewhere I think. Of course of course a lot of embassies. To varying levels of transparency post their personnel read on the Web site of course you know when you're talking about spies that. This is transparent and those are those are going to be names that are tightly guarded this is a yes where I was going of course because there are those who who are publicly known and then there are all those. Who are less a less high profile to put it mildly Let's go back to the Seattle thing for a minute because Seattle you've already reminded us that San Francisco is severely DOD I mean no coincidence that they've chosen Seattle said diplomatic tog . Yes certainly there's a lot of. You know officials have raised the point. That Boeing is there and touch certainly provides a lot of opportunities when we're talking about aerospace technology in aerospace. Espionage opportunities. People said the same thing about when you could just San Francisco because that's. Really the of America's innovative technological factor. And. Many many issues for years that. Target for Russian espionage and yes all of these things have a very. Practical dimension. Where American prized . John Hudson of the Washington Post Well The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Don Lemon is good to step in as a serious coach before the 4th Test against South Africa on Friday and it's all about ball tampering scandal of course Steve Smith has now been removed as captain of the Roger Stan Royals team in the I.P.L. It is not clear if Smith who has stood aside. During the Test against South Africa is good to be allowed to play in the world's richest cricket league we could speak to an expert on this these days Rahul Tandon and Kolkata Hello Rahul. Good morning to you Rob as the birds are chipping away here I suppose like everybody else in this country they're still discussing Steve Smith David Warner ball tampering it's front page middle page back page all over the televisions and the only thing people will be talking about as they talk into their breakfast this morning and of course much of it is switch to the Indian angle now and the one that could really hurt the Australian players financially is the Indian cricket board going to say with all the controversy this is taking place and with its own league being embroiled in so much controversy that the Aussie players can play we haven't got to that stage so far what happened yesterday was the Roger stand or else remember this is a team that 3 entering the I.P.L. After 2 years on the outside after being involved in betting allegations that they need to be seen to be as clean as possible not to have players involved in scandal so I think they have no choice but to remove Steve Smith as their captain so they could focus on getting ready for the tournament that starts on the 7th of April David Warner Well sunrise had to advance his team where he is captain have basically said they're going to wait and see what Cricket Australia does that's what B.P.'s Luxman the great Indian players the mentor of that team said yesterday I think it's a difficult one here on the one hand I think there is such anger at the Australian players about what they've done here in India particularly Steve Smith because according to some Indians he has a little bit previously and last time he was on tour he had a brain fade according to him and did things that he shouldn't have done on the other hand look these are some of the biggest players in the world and if you pull them out of the. You know that that's going to affect the overall standard of the tournament so really I think at the moment the Indian board and the team just waiting to see which way the wind blows and really as a Suppose the rest of the world is waiting to see what Cricket Australia does treasuring through other Indians who still want to see Steve Smith's play in the I.P.L. . Well there are just and rolls found certainly Well I think what is interesting though is many Indians and Iranian looking not just the Australians but the I.C.C. The board that runs cricket here runs the gang and saying you know what are they doing here because you know the penalty that Steve Smith got at one match ban Bancroft not even being banned just being fined people are saying that's not good enough why is Cricket Australia having to take this decision you you have a board that runs the game they should be doing that and also there is a feeling I think that if it had been an Indian player Pakistani player who had been involved in goal tampering that defines all the penalties from the I.C.C. Would have been much more stringent I've been speaking to move the but he's one of India's leading cricket writers he says that should have been much more severe punishment the only shocking part of it is that the this would. Have got away with it and you know I think somebody did you discuss. The. National getting the relations I think there's a feeling in India that the other guy has got to be very very likely if it had been an Indian Indian would have had to suffer even though India runs cricket is there a feeling that it is still the white man who dominate there is an extensive feeling that her version is only articulated what perhaps feels but the fact is that India runs world cricket the economic powerhouse that basically. Some people are not going to buy your argument so yes I do if there is an intrinsic better docs that I think it's an irony that you know India would dictate what happens in the financial and the commercial side of international cricket we haven't yet been able to make a significant headway in this particular instance and that definitely confuses me but you know what gears probably got its back on this particular incident with drugs some royals the I.P.L. Team sacking Steve Smith as their captain. What are all sort of the other players who fish consequence who No I don't think so I think it's really going to be Warner and Smith I suppose the 2 players who in the end of really become at the center the center of this I think as well Rod look whilst the whole world seems to be up in arms about what Steve Smith has done and people are angry he had this bit of encouraging to the team I would if you possibly do something so stupid when you know the cameras are on you but I think also here Indians have a slightly you know less I'm not sure what the right word to use is but they have probably a little bit more realistic view of where cricket is they see cricket is a business now not just this a game here people see very clearly that it's not the game where people used to play and why the gentleman's game or politeness exacta this is a sport with millions and millions of dollars riding on it and because of that I think people here except that the lines are going to be pushed there's no doubt that Steve Smith has gone way over the line here in the Australian team but I think people here say look you know you want going to have that in cricket and this idea that cricket is a gentleman's game is going to be different from any other sport is not an argument I think that many Indians buy they don't like what Steve Smith has done they feel that he should face some sort of penalty maybe a longer ban in Test cricket but the idea of him being banned for life or the idea that cricket is immune from this sort of behavior is I think something that most Indians find a little bit of an argument that they will not buy. Very many of the. Well in Austria a film made in 1924 lasting commercially $933.00 and long thought to be lost has been short again in Vienna it's entitled that Juden or the city without Jews and it's one of the few surviving expressionist films from Austria of those tribes I asked Bethany Bell what the film scene was like in Austria in the 1920 S. It was quite an interesting lively film scene and people like the direct to Billy Wilder was a Viennese filmmaker and of course there was this very vivid school of German expressionist films films like The Cabinet of Dr Kelly Gary. Fritz Lang's Metropolis things which he's very source of used a lot of design to represent the middle send the sets to having lights and shadows and objects and and you see some of this in the film of the city without Jeez it's quite dramatic expressions so sudden film of course of course what's the story of the city without Jews and here's a very this very inflammatory title isnt it. Yes it was actually written by a Jewish writer a man called who go better hour and it's even really prophetic kids quite scary prophetic it predicted. It tells the story of a city called you take here. As set sometime after the 1st World War and it shows how Jews are made the scapegoats for rising prices and the general bad situation and the city eventually expels all its Jews and you see scenes set in the market place where the prices of clearly gone up and a Jewish man walks by and starts getting fruit thrown at him and fights break out and then there's this very eerie scene through sort of snowy countryside where long columns of of the city's Jewish population carrying their Torah scrolls of the law March through the snow as they've been expelled from the city. Which really is interesting that it was made in 1924 of the people in 1000 ready for fear that something was happening to their country. Yes this was written by this Jewish author who go better hour who it was a satirical piece initially but there was a Vienna was the home of political anti semitism there with what's with the places where this develops and and tragically a year after this film was made in 1925 who go bet our the author was actually killed by a Nazi and while the film was being made Nazis actually tried to disrupt the filming of it and then of course. Many When the Holocaust eventually happened many of Vienna's Jews perished. By the finding of this print did everybody believe that there was no surviving print of the city with Jews . Yes Well there was it was believed lost for many years but then they discovered an incomplete version of it. And they think in the 1990 S. And they thought that that was all there was but then in 2015 a complete version was found in a flea market in Paris in quite bad condition and the Austrian film archive got a hold of this and they managed to organize a huge crowd funding campaign Austria's biggest crowd funding campaign for something cultural and they got enough money to save the film. And that's that's what's now in premiered and it's interesting it's having it it's being shown now in Vienna but it's actually coming to to Britain later this year and it's going to be shown in London in Bristol. It must be rather impressive to see it on the screen what kind of an impact is having on Austrian audiences. I think what I mean that the premiers just just happened so we're we're waiting to see what the result has been but the fact that there was this enormous crowd funding campaign shows that it struck a chord among many people in this this. Prophecy in this film that many people believe lost and it actually stars some very famous Austrian film actors including interesting one accept called Hunt's Maus or who in the movie plays one of the most rabid anti semitic types and in real life he was actually married to a Jewish woman and he refused later when the Nazis came into Austria and. Austria became part of the 3rd Reich he refused to get divorced from his Jewish wife she eventually emigrated to Hungary and then they were reunited after the war . And further Nazis when they took over this would have come under the heading of decadent dark what would they have done this well. Yes Well I mean it was probably just the the 2nd World War era that the film disappeared and yes it would very much have been considered decadent Aravind against what what of course the Nazis were trying to do which was to rid themselves of their Jewish population well having reached their target and done this marvelous frame by frame restoration of the Archive have to say about their new film. Oh it's very interesting a the director of the collections there told me that the movie's message which is against excluding people on the basis of race or religion is one that he feels has growing relevance far in times and it's interesting they're pushing an exhibition at the moment at the Film Archive and making comparisons between people excluding Jews back then and now there is a lot of racism against Muslims in Austria and other foreigners so they're very much drawing a comparison between the seeds that you know start off started off the Holocaust and warning about some of the tendencies in our in time. Or thereabouts of that film in Austria and it's just after half past 4 digits a lot more in smartphones and tablets this is B.B.C. 5 Live the New Year's course of.

This is B.B.C. 5 Live on digital smartphone unsober that morning it is a fairly cloudy start to the day today but under that cloud mild and frost free from the guy who calls my outbreaks of rain around particular towards the north and east and even a bit of snow across the mountains of Scotland but at low levels it is falling as rain now the rain. Be affecting the east in Scotland and eastern England slowly easing away from eastern areas as we head through the latter part of this morning and then we'll see a return to brighter conditions with these showers behind the school to keep that rain 100 a little bit of snow lingering through much of the day just slowly easing through. The repair of a bit of. A fairly cloudy day with a few showers here in. Breaking through lifting temperatures to about about 10 to 14 degrees. Today after a fairly cloudy start to the morning that will be the odd shower breaking out most places across the board night and staying dry. Up to around 9 degrees so overnight tonight it's going to be mostly try that tomorrow and the heavy rain towards the south about sets us up for a fairly on settled the middle of this week and as we get towards the Easter break as well so I think Wednesday is going to be the coldest day of the weeks rain in the south the. Hills of Scotland still but temperatures stuck in single figures on Wednesday. And then things become a bit milder going towards the east a break but it's mix of rain at times and a bit of sunshine as well I'm sorry. There's only Or I was broken out in India between Prime Minister Moody's B J P party and the opposition Congress over his alleged misuse of voters data and anonymous hacker claims that Modi's official apps share users' data without consent a familiar sounding story a reporter in Delhi is Morley Christian Hello Morley Iraq are doing good so the prime minister has his own up to say what's it like or it's a huge popular app and the fact is when the once one think great plus a plus point all pride on primeness very the movie is that he's extremely social setting social savvy he's one of the. Politicians in the world who's got the ball highest number of Twitter following behind Donald Trump but apart from that he used an application and oficial immobile application which is to sort of share his views as Willis is thoughts and what future he has for the come. 3 on this particular application and it's just been recently upgraded so therefore that is what the whole controversy about that's when this particular hacker who goes under the pseudonym Elliot Anderson he posted a series of tweets over the weekend stating that the act which the prime minister was using was sending personal use the data to whoever logged into the Prime Minister's application to a 3rd party domain that was traced to an American company and that was in the in the backdrop of bridge analytic obviously did has been a big fire and the Congress immediately jumped onto this and said that Modi us trying to give all information of all of these uses to other people to sort of tap into to mine harvest their personal data so that's where it stands and the buyer's agent the party which movie comes from obviously has denied the allegations and said the data was only being useful and that it takes to offer all uses the most can text real content but that doesn't seem to have washed with the Congress but they they don't deny that they harvested their user data that they they they got it with the help of the. Well we're not saying that the fact is. The bar and he joins our party saying that the sharing data with the 3rd party they did not sent there not be harvested data and also said that the application of the prime minister. Had a very strong strict privacy policy and therefore there was no quested of of people tapping into his mobile application of their And they and their information being mine but then obviously that has not been independently verified for you know the fact is it goes to where is Al Gore isms as one understands in terms of whether people who actually logged into the crime this is apps in personal information has been tracked with 3rd party that's and that's something which is not been established yet but then like I said it's a great and this is a member election season in India so the Congress saw Saw this is a great opportunity to jump in and sort of slammed the prime minister as well as the opposition party in trying to sort of use the personal data of Indians. And this to go back to the app again early is this sort of stuff you know all say here's another good reason to vote B J P Is that that kind of thing well also that also that but more importantly if anyone needs to sort of log in to the prime minister app this certain Kristen's which this particular app in terms of asking the user to furnish certain details because they could be a lot of mischief mongers who want to sort of get into this app so therefore you have to. Furnish details about 6 to 7 criteria which one has to furnish like for example where you come from where do you what have you studied your educational background and your occupation so those are the questions what which one necessarily has to answer before getting into this. After the bigger the bigger questions on on this particular app is the prime minister's governance policy where he wants to take this country forward those are the promises and where and and what he plans to do in terms of thought that you'll do the program started out by the B J P That's basically the ad all about. So we wait and see. What the next step is a minister or is there a government agency involved in this well I think the fact is I mean it was it was great it was great sort of. Slanging match or that weekend and like I said India's there's no dearth of use as well as controversies I see this particular controversy dying down what the what the opposition Congress party has promised is that it's going to come out with more dirt in terms of how the B.G.P. In the last 2014 election had to use Cambridge analogy for the campaign so that's a space be go to wait and watch whether they're going to live up to this promise always that still an empty threat so that where it but eclipsed that stance right now we're like many many thanks. Well I saw a quick look in the morning papers the Telegraph headline is the prime minister saying we have crippled Russia spyware but the lead story in The Telegraph. Obviously welcoming the response of Britain's allies who have also been expelling Russian diplomats the Daily Mail and The Times and The Guardian go on the big anti semitism row in the Labor Party with the Times headline and he seem eyes will destroy labor according to senior M.P.'s and the Daily Mail just puts the boat in enough is enough Mr carbon says Robert Hardman's commentary on the front page of The Mail Let's have a look though at the Financial Times this morning in the company of their analysis editor Fred student for us it's still the fallout from the stormy story of the nerve agent attack on Circus crippled the former Russian spy who ended up living in Britain part of a swap back in the day and anyway did there was a sort of moment last week where the prime minister she went to Brussels and succeeded actually in convincing a lot of our European allies to sort of join forces with Britain and lend their support to what has been quite a tough stand by the government here towards Russia we've had some expulsions of Russian diplomats who the government said were actually spies they were flown out last week there's some tit for tat expulsions of U.K. Diplomatic personnel from Russia and now what we're seeing is other U.K. Allies have been joining in led by the U.S. But also it's noticeable that we've got every big NATO ally include. The likes of Germany France Canada and also some non they to members including Ukraine Finland and Sweden and what this is all come together is to be what the prime minister has described as the largest collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers in history so that's the sort of news and the drummer I think everyone has called this sort of fly no not for henchmen about sort of you know where is this all leading there's a sense of you know things ratcheting up. You know I mean we're all very quick to deploy methods or comparisons with the Cold War and this sense that you know. Are we returning to those days. I mean a lot of us probably forgotten what they were what they were really like and and wait if that then lead us. Well if that wasn't enough you're having a look at the way that Wall Street is rewarding as Joe and I making some interesting comparisons Well yeah I mean these graphs not with the Cold War They were the Bonnie days of those years in the run up to the financial crisis of the last run of the great credit boom Well for some on Wall Street those days are sort of starting to feel a little bit more familiar in the bonuses nost year tally them all up and they've done the sums and they've come within a whisker of what they were in the pre-crisis it is. Just to give you some numbers 2017 average bonus was 184200 20 dollars to be exact and that was 17 percent up on the the year before that and the benchmark that they're looking at is 2006 it was 191300 60 dollars they get their sort of what or whatever else is going on in the well whatever else is causing anxiety uncertainty in certain quarters of the financial community where there's a $31000000000.00 bonus pool to be divvied up on Wall Street for the Pats of the Bit more bright. You're a common trait is about the elections in Egypt which most people I think would not have noticed what have you got to say about well it's really see it's looking what's going on in Egypt where we've got the hardline President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi he's standing for election but I mean I don't think anyone expects any surprises here in that he is in line to win easily and even his opponent has said that he hopes Mr Sisi will defeat him and just to remind you that this is Sisi actually said lead a coup against the country's 1st freely elected president Mohamed Morsi So there's not great expectations but coming to our commentary which you referred to it's Gideon Rachman our international affairs commentator is not just looking at Egypt he sort of looking across the region he's going to sort of starting in to near 0 which if you remember is where the Arab Spring is judged to broken out 7 years ago and sort of standing back and reflect on those last 30 years and thing to give all the hope that was sparked with that moment of what was going to happen in that part of the world now you know there's been so much chaos bloodshed you think of Libya you think of Syria and also a degree of cynicism and that's what you're seeing in Egypt where there's almost sort of been a sort of reflex of saying what are these Let's have some law and order and you know I'm not placing as much emphasis on you know trying to move towards a sort of probably democratic free society all in the Financial Times this morning that spreads to the monoglots joined report Wingfield Hayes in Tokyo Good Morning Report Good morning run and the prime minister Mr Abbott is caught up in a bit of a scandal. Yes years and so is his wife fraud this is happening in Parliament yesterday and today questions being asked of the prime minister and particularly this goes back to last year when it was revealed that a friend of Mr Abbott and his wife who had was building a school a new private school down in the city of all soccer in western Japan had acquired a piece of land to build the school on for about 14 percent of the market price it should have gone for about $8000000.00 U.S. Dollars about $5000000.00 pounds instead it went for around $1000000.00 U.S. Dollars and when this was revealed it was asked well how on earth did this guy get hold of this land which was state land sold by the government to him at such a remarkably discounted price and all sorts of excuses were made. Its opposition parties demanded to see the documents which were produced so that will happen last year what we have found out recently is those documents that were released by the finance ministry regarding the land sale had sections of them redacted as I think it is called these days all removed and actually some of the paragraphs that were removed contained the name of the prime minister and his wife and that is why these questions are now being asked again in Parliament today because obviously this I have to say this whole thing rather stinks and the in the implication of all of this is that there is some sort of nefarious goings on that may or may not involve the prime minister his wife or other officials in influencing the price that this land was sold at this is not being proved yet but there is an awfully bad stench around the whole thing. And Japanese people are intolerant of any kind of scandal involving the their rulers are they. Well I have to say there's not a particularly aggressive media culture here in Japan so you know you can imagine that this sort of thing in Britain or in America would be fodder for the newspapers and there would be you know there would be a great deal of. Headlines and discussion and the howling of of protest by opposition parties opposition politicians and. Newspapers about this it's relatively muted here in Japan but you know things happen quietly and slowly but I think there is nevertheless been ether surface I think there is a deep disquiet and discussed the idea that someone would would get this land so cheaply because of cronyism it is well known that there is a great deal of cronyism that goes on in Japan this is not an uncorrupted country. But when it comes out in the open there are issues of honor and shame and you know government officials will be expected to do the right thing by resigning or you know in the old days people used to commit ritual suicide if they were found to have done wrong and no one suggesting that should happen this time but people will be expected to take responsibility if wrong can be shown to be done well let's take a view of Korea. How are things going on the on the front of you know George or instead of war war. It's funny if you go across to Seoul in South Korea and read the mood there which I've done earlier in the year and come back here to Tokyo it's very very different so in South Korea I think it's great relief that things are you know that things are much better than they were last year that this there appears to be we now appear to be moving rapidly towards talks between North and South Korea and perhaps towards this summit between Kim Jong un and President Trump we've seen reports today that an armored train has arrived from North Korea in the capital of China Beijing and there's a lot of speculation going on that perhaps Kim Jong un himself may be on some sort of secret trip to Beijing to consult with the senior officials there so this all bodes well of you know moves towards talks no missile tests no new nuclear test Japan on the other hand sitting here in Tokyo is feeling really rather left out this deal or suppose it. Suggestion deal to to hold a summit between America and North Korea was done in Washington apparently you know over or over lunch between President Trump and South Korean officials who said as far as I understand it the North Korea is prepared to talk and President Trump is report of turn around and said OK let's do it now there was no phone call to Prime Minister Abbott here in Japan there was no discussion at all with Japan as to whether a summit with North Korea would be a good idea and what role Japan might have so the Japanese government is feeling very very left out of this and there is concern here that if America was to do a deal with North Korea over nuclear weapons that Japan might be cut out of the deal and of course Japan is much much closer to North Korea Japan is well within range of North Korea's missiles today whereas America is potentially in range of North Korea's missiles tomorrow so it's a it's a much more real and present threat to Japan and it's worried that it's being left out. And talk about being left out from Minute have in Japan was left out of the list of countries who are excluded from Mr Trump's new tower of sorts and how can they feel that yeah exactly right you're absolutely right and you know this feels I think for Japan it feels very strange that this Japan is America's closest and oldest ally since World War 2 Japan and United States have stood shoulder to shoulder during the Cold War through the Korean War through the you know the the. Time when when America and China looked like they were going to go to war and right up to today but at the same time that you know Japan is supposedly America's closest ally and largest base for military in the Asia Pacific region President Trump has announced these steel an aluminum tariffs against China and Japan exempting other countries like the European Union Canada Mexico and others but hasn't exempt exempted Japan it was felt like this was this was a move against China but for some reason Japan has been included and Japan is feeling very upset and these signals from the trumpet ministration are very very difficult to read are we allies are we friends are what's going on and I think there's great confusion here is to do exactly how to respond to this and since we've been talking so much of a nerve gas. It's amazing that the attack on the Tokyo subway which was carried out with sarin gas is now 23 years old and justice is finally being meted out apparently to the people responsible. Yes It's 23 years this week since that attack was carried out on the Tokyo subway and you know a lot of people have forgotten about it and the people the perpetrators the the cult called NICKY Oh and the cult leader Shoko as a HOWTO although he is still in prison awaiting execution so are 12 of his senior followers who were all sentenced to death in Japan Japan still has a death penalty by hanging They were sentenced to death back in 2004 that process has rolled on and on and on but it appears that we now may be in the final days weeks or months we're not quite sure Japan does not announce. Execution when it's going to do this but 7 of those on death row were moved to separate prisons last week all of the appeals processes have ended and it now well it certainly looks like Japan is moving towards the fight the the justice minister will actually have to sign off on this but it could happen at any time the shako are Sahara and those 12 other senior figures from our mission to kill could go to the hanged man at any time in the coming weeks or months. Very many thanks for. The sale of the sun rises this morning in Milton Keynes 10 minutes to 7.
