This has led to new alliances forming, president l to new alliances forming, President Putin met with kim jong un to new alliances forming, President Putin met with Kimjong Un On recently, does that cause concern . Yes but it demonstrates how isolated russia yes but it demonstrates how isolated russia is yes but it demonstrates how isolated russia is. They have to go to north korea russia is. They have to go to north korea to russia is. They have to go to north korea to get weapons and ammunition. Any agreement with north korea to provide any agreement with north korea to provide support for russias illegal war will provide support for russias illegal war will be a blatant violation of Un Security Council resolutions. We saw joe Un Security Council resolutions. Sanoe biden so a delicate line when he was speaking about us relations with china, saying its in for interests to Work Together but to be careful to tip into conflict, is that something that gives you concern. Its exactly the same message as nato allies. China is not an adversary. We need to engage with them on Climate Change and arms control and all other issues but at the same time we see how china is investing heavily in more military capabilities and long range missiles and Nuclear Weapons and also how china and russia are becoming closer and closer. We have an agreement between russia and china just days before the invasion with a state of the partnership between russia and china is without any limits. So this is something we have to follow closely. We need a strong reason to keep nato because as long as North America and europe stand together we are safe. If I Canjust America and europe stand together we are safe. If i can just ask you one question on the developing story, we see an issue with the f 13 planes in the us and the us military losing for a time one of those planes and its now grounded the rest of them pending an investigation, its the plane of choice for nato i am confident that the us can look into it and find the reason why. Thank you very much for your time. That it from here. We will be back later but for now back to the studio. We have a live page with all the latest updates from the United Nations General Assembly in new york so you can follow updates. The Director General of the bbc has announced a review to look at any complaints against Russell Brand. It will examine what was known and what was done. It will also scrutinise any issues about cars used by the bbc at that time, after one alleged victim says mr brand sent a bbc car to take her from school to his house when she was 16, and he was 30. Mr brand has denied the allegations against him. read on earlier i spoke to our correspondent, louisa pilbeam, who gave us the latest. This news just into us that the Director General of the bbc, tim davie, has announced the bbc will carry out a review led by peterjohnson, who is the director of complaints and editorial reviews. And this review will look at any complaints against Russell Brand, any contact that the bbc had with him at the time, what was known and what was done about it. This review will also examine any issues about cars used by the bbc and i willjust remind you about this point. One of the accusers of Russell Brand claims that he organised a bbc car to collect her from school because she said she was only 16 at the time and this bbc Organised Car then took her to Russell Brands house. So the review will go into that. Tim davie released this information and also spoke to an all Staff Briefing and he announced that peterjohnson will head this up and he also made clear that he expects this review to be carried out swiftly. He says he is hoping for an initial report within the next weeks rather than months. He really wants this dealt with quickly. Just to remind you, Russell Brand is facing accusations of rape, Sexual Assault and Emotional Abuse over a seven year period. Allegations which he denies. And also an update from youtube, a platform in which Russell Brand has a huge number of subscribers. They are now suspending his videos from producing revenue and making money from adverts. Tell us more about that development. He has around six million subscribers to his channel on youtube and nowadays Youtube Channels are where a lot of people are actually tuning in rather than television for example. So the numbers are huge and what happens is he can make money from that. Those numbers mean he can make money from advertisements where various Companies Want to sponsor his content, and he can also make money from sponsored content within the show, for example product placement, because the rules in terms of the internet and those kind of channels are different from broadcast. But as you say, that has now come to an end. It now means he will not be able to make any money from his youtube channel. Also we do also have a live page running on the bbc website on the Russell Brand story. Also live page running on this next story as well. Relations between canada and india have further deteriorated, with india expelling a Senior Canadian diplomat. It was in response to allegations that indian agents might have been involved in the murder of a canadian sikh activist. Hardeep singh nijjar was shot dead outside a temple in British Columbia less than three years after india designated him a terrorist. The Indian Foreign ministry described the allegations they were behind his death as absurd and motivated. The canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, told parliament hed raised the issue with his Indian Counterpart Narendra Modi at the g20 summit. Canada has also expelled an indian official. Over the past number of weeks, canadian Security Agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the Government Of India and the killing of a canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh nijjar. Canada is a rule of law country. The protection of our citizens and defence of our sovereignty are fundamental. Our Top Priorities have therefore been, one, that our Law Enforcement and Security Agencies ensure the continued safety of all canadians, and, two, that all steps be taken to hold perpetrators of this murder to account. Canada has declared its deep concerns to the top intelligence and Security Officials of the Indian Government. Last week, at the g20, i brought them personally and directly to Prime Minister modi in no uncertain terms. With me now is jasjaran sanhu, from the World Sikh Organisation of canada, where he was former the Executive Director and now sits on the board.

Im of two minds about yesterday. From the mainstream prospective, shock. India billed itself as a democracy even though things show otherwise. But also not surprise as a sea canadian. We have been at the Receiving End of interference are now violent interference are now violent interference for decades and this is true notjust of seek canadians but sikh communities around the world.
