In the latest evidence of growing tension between Britain and China the foreign secretary Dominic Raab has confirmed that the UK is suspending its extradition treaty with Hong Kong.
It’s in response to Beijing’s imposition of a new security law aimed at ending political protests in Hong Kong.
The UK has already offered residency rights to 3 million Hong Kong citizens but China has accused the UK of âbrutal meddlingâ in its internal affairs.
In Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigners who fought against the introduction of the security law say they’re being pursued by the Chinese authorities.

Plans announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to send asylum seekers who arrive in the UK to Rwanda in Africa have been described as “chillingâ, âcruelâ and âimmoralâ by charities and politicians.
Boris Johnson said the ÂŁ120m pilot scheme would “save countless livesâ. He claimed it would break the business model of “vile people smugglers”.
The scheme would initially focus on single men arriving on boats or lorries in the UK. They would be sent on a 4,000-mile trip to Rwanda where they would be processed and, if granted asylum, be offered long-term accommodation in the African country.
The UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, who travelled to the Rwandan capital Kigali to sign the deal, said the “vast majority” of those arriving in the UK “illegally” would be considered for relocation to Rwanda.
More than 160 charities and campaign groups called on the UK government to abandon the plan, which they described as âshamefully cruelâ, as well as unworkable and unlawful. The policy is expected to face legal challenge in the courts.
Other critics said the announcement was an attempt to distract from Boris Johnsonâs political difficulties. It was unveiled shortly after he was found guilty of criminal conduct for breaking his own lockdown rules, with parties in Downing Street at the height of the Covid pandemic.

The Prime Minister has told the Mayor of Greater Manchester that he is prepared to intervene and impose the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on the region if they can’t reach an agreement.
The Mayor, Andy Burnham, is seeking a bigger package of financial support for businesses that would be forced to close as a result of the Tier 3 restrictions.
He has told Boris Johnson that local leaders are ready to meet the government at any time to seek agreement. Manchester has some of the highest levels of coronavirus transmission in the UK.
Meanwhile Lancashire has agreed to impose the highest restrictions, joining the Liverpool city region on Tier 3 â or Very High Alert.
It means no mixing between households indoors â or outdoors in certain settings including private gardens. Pubs and bars will close unless they serve a substantial meal. And people must avoid non-essential travel into or out of the area.
However there are some difference between Manchester and Liverpool, despite them both being placed at Tier 3. In Lancashire, unlike Liverpool, gyms and leisure centres won’t have to close but soft play centres and car boot sales will.
The Mayor of Liverpool says it’s âmadnessâ to have different rules for Lancashire and heâs warned that it is âsowing confusionâ.
Meanwhile people from areas of the UK with high levels of coronavirus – including Tier 2 in England – are now banned from entering Wales.

A boat carrying nearly 270 people has capsized off northern Cyprus as a search and rescue operation is under way.
The ship began taking on water and “was in danger of sinking at a location four nautical miles off Kyrenia Port,” the Turkish Interior Ministry said.
“There has been a loss of life and there are injuries,” the prime minister of the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus said.

55 million people across England will be in the two toughest levels of measures when lockdown ends next week. What’s the rationale for the new tier system? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Tougher rules for England will “strike a balance” when the national lockdown ends next week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.
At a Downing Street briefing, the prime minister acknowledged that the stricter three-tiered system of regional measures to tackle coronavirus would bring “heartbreak and frustration”.
Most of England will be in the toughest two levels of measures from 2 December and the system will be reviewed every two weeks, with the first review scheduled for 16 December – so an area’s tier level may change before Christmas.
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports and Kirsty Wark is joined by former health secretary Andrew Lansley, Labour shadow minister Cat Smith and former chair of Pizza Express Luke Johnson

The Conservatives are disgusting! They DO NOT represent the majority of the people of the UK! So I wish they would stop sayinf that. Especially when they want to throw racist conatations against people of colour or of a different religion to themselves.

Unfortunately, I am looking at Jess Philips , as are many people and thinking I don't like the tory government, the labour are not going to be any better, in fact they are going to be soft on immigration. Perhaps Europe as a whole ought to put their foot down on illegal immigration. The UK is a small country and more and more people are going to make that journey, as a nation we have to say 'No'

she goes on about, their in terrible danger, we were in terrible danger loads of times in the past with war,s etc, & the only nation that helped us was usa, but we didn,t all want to abandon our own country when we were getting blew to bits, the refuge,s need to stay in there own country & sort their own problems out, just like we had to, the reason they want to come here is cos they get everything given to them while our own people thats paid into the system all our lives are suffering.

Patrick McLoughlin sates,……." Were the second biggest Bilateral donor to Syria ". Err isn`t this a Country ravaged by its own leader and Army , yet we prop his people up while all the time he lives in luxury and has contributed to the decimation his country . Shouldn`t the most sensible solution be we get rid of Al – Assad and let Syria rebuild itself , hopefully with a replacement leader that actually cares about his people.
Why is it that the UK seems to be one of the very few Country`s helping these oppressed countries of the World AND , is expected to it seems ? We CANNOT save every country in trouble in the World, It has to be a Collective effort by the many, many countries that are in the position to help also. Do we see China helping ? Do we see the Rich African Countries helping? Do we see any South American Countries helping , etc etc ???? Look at the UK`s list of Forign Aid countries we give millions to each one manually . India which we give millions to , has just sent two space rockets to the Moon and the Sun . Why the Hell are we wasting money donating millions to such a rich Nation as India ??
