Involved in the persecution of muslim minorities in china beijing was swift to respond signaling it will hit back this comes just 2 days before u. S. China trade talks are set to resume aimed at ending a protracted war. The timing couldnt be worse the u. S. Targets 28 chinese firms in its new blacklist this week but says it has nothing to do with the trade talks with beijing on thursday washington alleges the companys helped china suppress ethnic and mostly muslim minorities in what amounts to a police state. And beijing has issued a stern rebuke. Me if i dont there is no such thing as the socalled human Rights Problem as alleged by the United States he accusation is nothing but a deliberate pretext created by the United States to interfere in chinas internal affairs. For its part the u. S. Says it keeps human rights and economic concerns separate but it is reported to have previously shelved releasing information that would have shown a light on chinese abuses for fear of derailing ne
If you go after me, im coming for you. Those are the words donald trump posted in all caps on truth social yesterday, just one day after his latest arraignment for election interference. Saturday, august 5th, im ali velshi. We begin today with the very latest its criminal indictment of donald trump. In a court firing late last night, we have proof that the Justice Department is taking this language from defendant trump very seriously. The special counsels team cited trumps truth social post in request for the judge to impose a protective order to prevent the former Vice President from making public any Sensitive Information turned over by the prosecutors. Quote, such a restriction is particularly important in this case, because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him. In response, trump spokesperson put out a statement claiming that the post is quote, the d
Of yorkshire, maybe lincolnshire, but perhaps towards the east coast theres a tendency more for rain and sleet. Same is true, really, across wales and South West England.

Overnight tonight, well continue to see showers for east scotland, eastern england, clearer skies for west scotland and Northern Ireland. Thats where well see the lowest temperatures, down to about minus seven, minus eight degrees in the coldest areas. Then tomorrow, well, its another chilly day. The north easterly winds dragging plenty of showers in across east scotland, eastern england, pushing across the midlands, wales and southern counties with time. The best of the dry weather and sunshine for Northern Ireland and western scotland, but another cold day, temperatures between four and six degrees. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines.

A worldwide pandemic, economic meltdowns and, here in the united states, an extremely vitriolic president ial election campaign. Obviously the movie industry was affected. Amid all the mayhem, it was easy to lose sight of the fact that some excellent cinema did emerge during the year. Instead of giving you our customary list of the top ten films of the year, we asked movie critics and movie journalists around the world to tell us what was for them the best film of the year. So im going to kick things off and tell you that for me, the best movie of the year was a documentary that revolved around a very beautiful pig. Gunda is a great observational documentary.
