Britains thriving science sector who responded with anti putin chants. Would be put at risk by a no deal brexit that is the warning from the head of the wellcome trust, the uks biggest charitable funder of scientific research.

There had been a protest in a public park that had been authorised by police but it had spilled out and in view of the authorities, anything outside of the park was deemed to be illegal. Now we have got demonstrators and heavily Armed Security forces. You will recall that hong kong has seen eight consecutive weekends of Anti Government and pro democracy protests. Yesterday, police fired and rubber bullets at another protest in the north and we have seen the same action taken today by the police.
