thatw last week the effect west virginia was having. the pittsburgh federation of teachers devoted to strike last monday -- voted to strike last monday. , the school district had full did in giving them everything they wanted. we are started to see that effect already play out in pittsburgh. in neighboring states to was virginia, in kentucky, as well as in southwestern pennsylvania, there has been talk of striking in districts where the g governr jim justice owns money. the billionaire governor of was virginia is also one of the largest landowners and coal owners in the state. he owns something like $15 million taxes and six different states. there has been talks in counties in the neighboring states where he owes money come of striking a solidarity to once they sign. it looks like there's a lot of talk in oklahoma of striking sometime in early april. this is certainly inspiring a lot of action. it is particularly interesting because it is coming at the same time as the walkouts over the parkland massacre. we're getting to this period w

what is the proof of this as you say is it put it there flowing money from russia to the west and as my esteemed american colleagues that corruption is is as and he actually mentioned in the putin regime so what are what are the proofs because the roofs are just generated in the western press and they're generated among special sauces so no no actual proof actually were presented to the russian people look the only way we can say and where we can we can hear that some agency some some political analyst in the west is saying about that but what but what is the the we need we need the complete and whole truth about that and prove mr bennett would you like to come back on that. i think there is proof that has already been produced and i think the intelligence services and other relevant authorities can certainly divulge more info information on this and doing so would strip send a strong signal to mr putin to stop these kind of provocations the same way kind of the deployment of troops on nato as the eastern flank us signal to mr putin that he should stop territorial aggression and shou

would respond that the west the west was getting ready here we have a hybrid war do question is whether a hybrid attack on one ally is an attack of all the alliance and i think this is really where we have to see the sheeple fall not done but also from washington and the european capitals what does it mean concretely it could mean first maybe getting the british sanction in. two e.u. white sections next week you have a council a european council or the e.u. leaders including to decimate and i think you actually can make the call to make basically a new package of sanctions against russia under nato side i didn't means dismiss a situation of collective defense she has a yourself to seize and use of force by russia against britain this is a case of self-defense under article fifty one of the un charter which could be the prelude to also invoke nato as collective defense grills article five it doesn't mean there's going to be good not to let it military response but it means is a clear statement not on your story very pretty but the readiness to act the question and the bottom line is if w

to be the west and to be inside of the west. this is the interest of russia, et cetera and to isolate russia from the west. so far putin starting to undermine the key principles of the russian state and system survival. and in the end, i would say that president putin will be presiding over his last chapter. despite of the energy on the surface, we see it apparently, the political thing that would be changed pretty soon, the older position and parliamentry parties will vanish. the older generation will go to the cemetery and now trying to fill the vacuum with new people. it depends what extent -- the new russia position will try to create new resistance and alternative to the putin's regime and to putin's state. thank you. >> that's really interesting. i would like to ask you a follow-up question and then i will turn to vladimir. you say he is putting himself on a course to challenge the current russia system, can you give detail to that? >> if the mechanism of survival of the russian personal system that has been created after

the we st putin to deal with the west. the west is irresponsible. what they are doing is pushing the world to conflict. i find doing is pushing the world to conflict. ifind it doing is pushing the world to conflict. i find it absolutely amazing. do you worry about the risk of conflict? yes but i don't think it's because of the west are looking for it. the west cannot figure out what it's looking for right now. you can make everything look like encirclement, if ukrainians in a democratic vote wanted to join the european union i don't think mr putin would think it's a great idea and we would have a war. so if you had to sum up in one word the coming six years of putin and the impact on the rest of europe, what would you say? if he is able to continue along the path that he has which has been very subtle, clever and crafty, i think the west's fundamental institutions are at risk in so far even the american presidency has been subverted. one word? we need to ta ke been subverted. one word? we need to take it seriously and reform the world security situa

and the west we don't know how it will be in the west has its own internal crisis go he has it so i think i think what would you print or all of the developments inside the west i mean what we have seen in the last two years rodney atkins some british but it would want to say that the sputnik yesterday when we discussed this election he said that look at the elections you need to be sixty percent of the people voted for the party yes there were friendly to russia you know that but non-systemic in germany non-systemic barcus again in grant very few people are happy with merkel in france if the election for the presidential election had been fair there were in place to come to those who were very broad brush it and they were so it's very interesting i think on the this point or with marshall explanations why the establishment in the establishment parties use russia as a for oil at the gate if you know what i'm going to do and it just it was just finishing it so i think a lot will depend on they said if you call a woman with a crisis continue i think it will continue for two or three m

it is the west that wants to divide up our country. it's chilling talk, but the signals come from the very top. since vladimir putin was last elected six years ago, russia has been painting the west as an enemy, a force that won the cold war and then rubbed russia's face in it. now moscow is pushing back. and yet all of this is happening when russia looks more western than ever, even here, a long way from the capital. foreign brands and tastes are now part of life, even as politics drive east and west apart. that growing gulf worries some here. mariya is the creative force behind this business, one of a cluster of fashionable new places in rostov. she is full of energy and optimism about her brand, with plans to expand sales to the west. but she is deeply pessimistic about the politics of putin, and how his message is pushed by russia's powerful state—run media. translation: instead of talking about problems we have inside the country, they talk about how we are surrounded by enemies who all want the worst for us. it is really scary

he needs greater economic relations with the west and political relations with the west. belarus has removed visa restrictions for most western countries. you can stay five days without a visa. russia's response was passport controls again, making it not welcome. kremlin is clearly concerned about the softer line of belarus towards the west. fears it may be bulled closer and closer towards the west and has many tools to prevent this. one is information space. there are pro-kremlin websites and media outlets pushing antiwestern narratives and pushing belorussian nationhood. warns against nationalism and color revolutions. former separatists are going around, lots of weapons lost in the ukraine conflict. that clearly is potential for people to move in. also a military that is inside belarus that looks generally towards russia. oriented towards russia. you have a population that has lived under the russian world view and narrative. there's a lot of efforts -- elite in the country is recognizing need to put space between it and russia and ease the economic problems of the cou

welcome to the program i'm in is the problem it is the worst diplomatic crisis between russia and the west since moscow annexed crimea four years ago drawing comparisons to the cold war more than twenty countries european powers as well as the us canada and australia have teamed up to expel more than one hundred thirty vosh and diplomats the u.s. led the way ordering out sixty russian officials and shutting down the country's consulate in seattle it is in response to the attack on a former russian spy and fortune earlier this month leaders and the u.s. agree with bush officials that it was highly likely that russian intelligence used of rare military grade nerve agents to poisons and his daughters junia russia has repeatedly denied the allegations many say the expulsions of a diplomatic victory for the british government. this is the largest collective expulsion of russian intelligence officers in history. i have found great solidarity from our friends and partners in the e.u. north america and nato and beyond over the past three weeks as we have confronted the aftermath of the salzburg in

the best sunshine the further west you are, northern ireland, scotland, wales and south—west england, but eventually we will see that cloud breaking up, perhaps the exception of north sea facing coasts. temperatures will respond with the sunshine, highs around 7—11. with the light winds and sunshine, it will feel much better. however, low pressure will sit out to the west, not only for wednesday but the rest of the working week in actualfact. spiralling around that low is a series of frontal systems. the good news is it's driving in a south—westerly wind so milder air spills across the country, the bad news is circulating around that my will be weather fronts bringing rain at times. not for all of us. perhaps on wednesday it will be in the south—west, eventually into ireland and also wales and south—west scotland but central and eastern areas will see decent spells of sunshine and temperatures will respond. it will be windy at times and it will see some wet weather spiralling around that low pressure, almost like a catherine wheel, driving up some rain at times. chiefly affect

it strengthens the idea that russia is at war with the west and the west is trying to take advantage of it, no doubt about that. adam. it is nice to agree with alexander for a change, i think the timing of this was bizarre, it would not help putin and the question is to what extent was this activity within his control? i don't know. i think russia is a fairly chaotic place. i think these agents are around. i think there are a lot of people who might want to take vengeance. again, the same with the litvinenko case, i know i have to go back on form, it really is unclear who in russia is masterminding it. it could well be putin but i agree with alexander — it is not in his interest at this time, just before an election, to stir this sort of thing up. and the other really interesting thing, if you want to kill someone there are many ways of killing, this is notjust killing, this is a public demonstration of how russian traitors will be dealt with. moving on to the rest of the election, alexander, many other issues in play for russia, the economy is in a mess, you would agree. what is t

snow flurries will be pushing west and merging with this snow. 0ne flurries will be pushing west and merging with this snow. one or two scattered snow showers across eastern england and northern ireland. it stays bitterly cold. 0n sunday night we have this easterly wind across the country. high pressure is in charge as we head into monday. that should keep a lot of dry weather on the scene but it will be a cold start to monday morning. the cold shih in parts of scotland. monday it does look like a dry day. a few snow showers in the far south of england. channel islands might seem more snow through the morning. most places will be dry in the day and there will be sunshine. a bit more cloud moves and across eastern scotland and eastern england as well. in the week ahead things will be turning milder and there will be some rain later on in there will be some rain later on in the week, but we start a largely dry note. we have a north—easterly breeze through tuesday. a weather front bringing a few rain showers but elsewhere, a lot of dry weather. the best of the sunshine through western

russia and the west tonight are at loggerheads. was moscow surprised by the strength of the co—ordinated action taken against it? undoubtedly. does it send a strong signal to the kremlin as theresa may '5 has suggested? yes, i think it does. but the problem facing the west ryde now in this escalating diplomatic war with russia is that the man who works out of the office behind me, vladimir putin, he doesn't react positively to pressure, and for any confrontation with the west, he will be determined to emerge the winner. and australia has become the latest country to expel russian diplomats, prime minister turnbull speaking of his shock at the first offensive use of chemical weapons in europe since world war ii. for more on this, let's speak to our correspondent hywel griffith in sydney. how was looking from there? australia is not the first to expel russian diplomats, but certainly wa nted russian diplomats, but certainly wanted to be seen to show solidarity with the uk and line up alongside america and those others we heard from

, as weather front of the south—west, as we move into thursday. we will see some more prolonged snow in the north, though, so we could see snow even to lower levels for parts of murray and aberdeenshire through thursday. then showers thrown up from the south—west across england and wales, some could be heavy, the 0rd rumble of thunder not out of the question. temperatures in the double figures in the south, 11 celsius but still colder in the north and east. then we move into friday, still that area low—pressure, it will gradually shift further north so again we are looking at some spells of rain as we move into friday. that rain could be wintry over high ground in the north of england and a few showers moving in from the south—west, which could be happy for southern parts of england, the 0rd rumble of thunder, some hail mixed in, still the risk of one or two snow showers and parts of one or two snow showers and parts of scotland, temperatures between four and 11 celsius. that takes us into the easter weekend and again low pressure is going t

or take west virginia. as my friend, senator capito, recently noted, her state understands the problem all too well. one recent study suggested that west virginia has the third highest proportion of its population living in economically distressed communities. opportunity zones will make a difference to her state. of course so will the rest of tax reform. a few weeks back, senator capito reported that worldwide equipment in west sulfur springs plans to reinvest $8 billion into its operation, including more than a thousand employee bonuses, all thanks to tax reform. i imagine west virginians are quite glad that senator capito used her vote to make tax reform a reality. it's a shame their senior senator didn't follow suit. it's a shame he and every other democrat tried to block him from taking effect. fortunately, this president and this congress didn't let that stop us. we accomplished tax reform anyway because we're committed to fighting for all americans.

but under expanding sales to the west. but undeeradimir putin, ship expanding sales to the west. but under vladimir putin, ship is russia will only increase its isolation with policies sold to the public spy a powerful state—run media. translation: instead of talking about problems we have inside the country, they talk about how we are surrounded by enemies who will want the worse for us. it is really scary because it weeps everything up and then people think we need to push back otherwise we will be overrun and destroyed. that siege mentality is growing here, as is the sense that russia has chosen a deliberate path away from the west with no sign that it plans to turn back. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello coming up on your thursday sport briefing...arsenal look to save their season in the europa league, tiger woods mania hits innisbrook, and problems persist for mclaren. with the race for the premier league top four looking like it's over for arsenal, the europa league has now taken on huge significance for the club. arsene wenger and his

to be inside of the west. of russia from the west. so far putin started to undermine the key principles of the current russian state and survival. i would say that president putin will be presided over his last chapter. this part of, you know, energy on the surface. this year apparently, the political scene that will be changed pretty soon. the older position, they will vanish. the older generation will go to the cemetery. and now the kremlin is trying to fill the vacuum with the new people and a lot depends to what extent of russian civil society. they knew russia would try to create new resistance and new alternative to the putin regime and to putin's state. thank you. >> that's really interesting. i would like to ask you one quick follow-up question. then i'll turn to vladimir. you say that he seems to be putting on a course to challenge the current russian system. could you just be a little bit more detailed on that? >> if the reck nism of survival of the personal system after the collapse of the soviet union to use the western fi

it suggests that this posture of defiance, that the west cannot touch me, that the west cannot respond effectively to the challenges that i am posing. that was the message she was sending to the west and russian voters. the russian voters were taken by that. it boosted the turnout. that reinforces my judgment that he is likely to stay on. i do not argue that we should not test him, and i would like to be wrong on this. we should continue to push for a peacekeeping force, and to propose risk reduction measures it -- to reduce the risk of getting out of control. he has been oblivious to these proposals for the last couple of years. he will remain so in less we find ways to increase the presser. that when you refer to putin in part as the terminator, you had in mind power. your thoughts on that operation and what that means for putin's mindset going forward. with that agree assessment, at the same time i would like to highlight one dramatic moment. despite whoever ordered it, it was already viewed by russian elites as moving back and forth between russia and the west. it is you'd of a war

this, though, is quite new here in the west. it is the first phone i have seen that has a mechanical aperture which can switch from f2.4 to f1.5 to let in more light. now, last year, we saw a sony phone which could shoot at 40x slow—mo. that's 960 frames per second! and, as we predicted then, that feature is now starting to migrate into other phones. one problem i had with sony's super slow—mo mode is that you have to be incredibly precise in order to start the recording and capture those 0.2 seconds of slow—mo action. not so with the s9. it waits until it detects motion in a certain part of its viewfinder and then it fires the slow—mo mode. so... that should mean you don't miss tho5e milliseconds of slow—mo magic. hot on the heels of apple's iphone animojis, the s9 lets you create and send your own emoji5. now, they do look a little like you but, quite impre55ively, they will copy your expre55ion using live face tracking. or you can use one of the pre—sets that created from your, ahem, likene55. overall, the s9 and
