The final edition of Hong Kongs main pro Democracy Newspaper has hit the streets, hours after Apple Daily said persecution by the authorities had forced it to close. And the Tech Pioneer John Mcafee, wanted for alleged Tax Evasion in the United States, has been found dead in a spanish prison. Hello and welcome. Russia says its Patrol Ships and Fighterjets Have fired Warning Shots and dropped bombs in the path of a british Warship Sailing in the Black Sea near crimea. The russian Defence Ministry said, that Hms Defender, had violated its territorial waters. But the uks Ministry Of Defence has flatly denied their claims saying the russians were carrying out exercises when they fired. The mod says the royal Navy Destroyer was sailing in an internationally recognised shipping lane, Within the 12 Mile Limit of crimea s territorial waters. Our Defence Correspondentjonathan Beale is the only broadcaster onboard Hms Defender. He has just sent this report. Hands to Action Stations. This is not a drill. Come in, take your seat straightaway. We want composure in this ops room. A british warship in the Black Sea about to make a point to russia. So were straight into the thick of it, were going to Action Stations now, just to bring us up to a higher state of readiness. Hms defender has just left the port of odessa, and as you can see just over there, were already being shadowed by a russian warship. I have two Suspect Aircraft coming in. | theyre soon tracking Russian Military Aircraft who are also tracking them. It is a slightly more increased threat, id say, just because were operating outside of our normal areas. And youre being watched by the russians. They can see us. We can see them. As we get close to crimea, the tension rises. Hms defender is going to sail Within what russia now claims is its territorial waters, but following a legally recognised shipping lane. Would you say theres a flashpoint potentially here, in terms of how the russians will behave . Theres a contentious point. Their posture will likely be more belligerent because of our proximity to what they recognise as their waters. They will view you as belligerent going so close to crimea, wont they . They might take that view. As Hms Defender comes Within 12 miles of the coast, the russian Coast Guard make a dangerous move. This russian Coast Guard vessel has come up right close to this british warship and is trying now to force it to change course. Nothing on the bridge. Absolute silence. Noise on the bridge. If you pass the borderline, ill give fire. If you dont change the course, ill give fire. Do you read me . Over. The crew Don Protective in case that threat is followed through. Shots are fired, but theyre well out of range. Gunfire. Aircraft visual, green 150, tracking right, altitude low. Throughout the transit, Hms Defender detects at least 20 Russian Military Aircraft nearby. Some far too close for comfort. The uk and the Royal Navy, our deployment is here to maintain international order and uphold that for the global peace and security, and the Royal Navy and the uk will always call out states that do not follow international order. Thats our mission. Is it poking the bear . Confident, non confrontational. Last year, russia claimed to have chased another royal Navy Warship out of the Black Sea. But clearly, britains not been deterred. This is evidence that the uk is willing to challenge russia to uphold international law. But it is a high risk strategy. Jonathan beale, bbc news, on board Hms Defender. Our diplomatic correspondent has more. Whenever you have more ships and planes in close proximity, theres always a risk of error, miscalculation, Escalation Instances unprecedented. Miscalculation, Escalation Instances unprecedented, but miscalculation, Escalation Instances unprecedented, but today miscalculation, Escalation Instances unprecedented, but today was miscalculation, Escalation Instances| unprecedented, but today was more acute than normal and more tense than normal. There is always a risk. But i think you should also remember the both sides are pretty ready for this. There at stations, the russians have very many planes and ships and it was a deliberate decision. The Defender Couldve taken a greater Southerly Route away from crimea in the choose not to. To assert its right of freedom of navigation and what the uk considers international waters. This was not a casual decision made at all. The defender was there to make a point, not pick a fight. They have shown their support for the ukraine, russia has mounted a robust defence and where it says the sovereignty, to accuse them of blatant provocation and the ambassadors. Uk us relationships already called, poisoned, etc. Its going a little bit colder uk russian. But many feel that the night, they have made their point. The us pop Star Britney spears is set to address a court in Los Angeles about the management of her business and personal affairs. The Singers Career has been in the hands of legal guardians in an arrangement known as a conservatorship since 2008 when she faced a public Mental Health crisis. The court ordered agreement gave her father, jamie spears, control over her estate and other aspects of her life. But now the singer is seeking to dismiss him from the Position Sophie long, our la correspondent, joins us. She has spoken and does give us the update on the latest. Yet. She has spoken and does give us the update on the latest. Update on the latest. Yet, there was a very passionate update on the latest. Yet, there was a very passionate demonstration a very passionate demonstration outside the courthouse where i am now when Britney Spears started talking and felt silence and very compassionate, very impassioned speech in the courtroom saying that she one of the conservative ship that she felt was abusive and bullying to and Without evaluation. She said their father has had 70 control over me and he loved it. And the Censorship Doesntjust Cover her financial life, the Censorship Doesntjust Cover herfinancial life, but the Censorship Doesntjust Cover her financial life, but her life the Censorship Doesntjust Cover herfinancial life, but her life in general. She wanted to have an iud removed and have more children and be prevented from doing that and also said that they gave their medication that was so strong, she felt trunk and was not able to hold a conversation. Some really striking statements from Britney Spears and she was clearly very upset, very angry and more than one occasion, they had asked her to slow down at one point, she said she has not felt listen to in this is going on for 13 years and its been bullying and controlling and i want to continue to be on this Telephone Line Service of people can actually hear what ive got to say and a real impression that there has been rumours that Britney Spears was not happy With the situation, that she thought her father was oppressive and controlling but will never hurt that and directly. Today is the first time youve heard from the singer herself about how she feels about her current situation in which she wants done about it. We wait to hear whether or not the court will grant any of those wishes. And people are acting for her father, her legal team saying that this was put in place in 2018 to rescue her and she has had a very public breakdown and this is always done through love and to help her and to help her continue to be successful, which she has said today that she will refuse to perform while her father remains in control of her life in this way. Very powerful testimony stop by the fence behind you, they have been part of this really quite you, they have been part of this reall uuite you, they have been part of this reall uite. , really quite powerful campaigning on her behalf. Really quite powerful campaigning on her behalf it really quite powerful campaigning on her behalf. It does really quite powerful campaigning on her behalf. It does break really quite powerful campaigning on her behalf. It does break the her behalf. It does break the question that in the conversations we are having now whether something like this could ever happen today. Is really remarkable. The people you see here, part of the free britney movement, they been campaigning for years and came into prominence when a documentary in the New York Times is released and that garnered even more support. These hearings take place every few months but this the first one since 2019 that Britney Spears herself is addressed the court. And there have been some remarkable statements and she talks about the medication she was given and how it made her feel. About the medication she was given and how it made herfeel. She about the medication she was given and how it made her feel. She felt totally controlled and has not wanted any of this. And quite remarkable that this could possibly happen in 2021 and its been going on for so long. I should say that weve only heard so far today from Britney Spears herself and some statements from her lawyer as well, but we havent yet heard from either her father or her fathers legal team and so just the evidence given by Britney Spears so far, so were waiting to see what her father has to say about the statements made by her father today.
