Hong Kong protests: China condemns 'appalling' attack on official in UK - BBC News

Media playback is unsupported on your device

China has condemned what it called an "appalling attack" by protesters on Hong Kong's justice secretary in London on Thursday evening.

Teresa Cheng fell and was treated for an arm injury in hospital after being jostled by about 30 supporters of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement.

Chinese official Geng Shuang said some in the UK "supported violent acts... to create chaos" in its former colony.

Hong Kong has been racked by five months of anti-government protests.

The campaign started in opposition to a now-withdrawn plan to allow extradition to mainland China, but it has since morphed into wider demonstrations backing democracy and opposing the actions of the police.

The protests have continued unabated - Friday was the fifth consecutive day - and have often turned violent. On Thursday, a 70-year-old man died after being hit by a brick thrown during clashes. A murder inquiry has been opened.

Hong Kong meanwhile confirmed it had entered its first recession for a decade, with the economy shrinking 3.2% in July to September, compared with the previous quarter.

What happened to Teresa Cheng?

The justice secretary had been in Camden, north London, to promote Hong Kong as a dispute resolution and deal-making hub.

Video showed her walking towards a lecture at the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators when she was surrounded by a group of protesters.

Some held signs and shouted "murderer" and in the melee, Ms Cheng fell to the ground.

London's Metropolitan Police said they were investigating an allegation of assault and no arrests had yet been made.

"A woman was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service suffering an injury to her arm," a statement said.

How did China react?

Mr Geng, China's foreign ministry spokesman, said the attack was "directly related to certain British politicians confusing right from wrong on the Hong Kong issue and their support for violent acts, giving a platform to those who are anti-China and want to create chaos in Hong Kong".

He said if the UK did not alter its approach "and continues to add fuel to the fire, sow discord and instigate others" it would "bring calamity on itself".

He urged the UK to "bring the culprits to justice and... also protect the safety and integrity of all Chinese people in the nation".

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam also condemned the protesters in the UK, saying "the savage act breached the bottom line of any civilised society".

Ms Cheng's office said she "castigates the violent mob in London causing her serious bodily harm on her way to an event venue".

Protesters say Ms Cheng played a key role in pushing for the extradition bill.

What's the latest on the protests?

Protesters, including thousands of office workers, were on the streets again on Friday, many of them chanting "stand with Hong Kong".

A number of roads were blocked and there was more disruption on the underground rail system. Black-clad protesters also continued to occupy university campuses.

It comes a day after Chinese President Xi Jinping warned the protests were threatening the "one country, two systems" policy under which Hong Kong retains a high level of autonomy and personal freedom unseen in mainland China.

Police in Hong Kong are treating as murder the death of the 70-year-old hit by a brick during unrest in the border town of Sheung Shui on Wednesday.

The government said the cleaner was on a lunch break when he was struck by "hard objects hurled by masked rioters".

Video purported to be of the incident shows two groups throwing bricks at each other before the man falls to the ground.

On Monday, a police officer shot an activist in the torso with a live bullet, and a man was set on fire while arguing with anti-government protesters.

A week ago, Alex Chow, a 22-year-old student, died after falling from a building during a police operation.

Hillary Clinton warns U.K. headed for 'fascism' over lawmaker abuse - NBC News

LONDON — The U.K. is spiraling towards authoritarianism and fascism, according to former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Speaking at event at Kings College, London, on Wednesday, Clinton said the reluctance of high-profile women to run for Parliament, amid an increase in online and real-world abuse, showed how toxic British politics had become.

She said she had spoken to several current and former female members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two layers of the British Parliament, who warned of "a growing anxiety among women members about the threats that they face."

Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.

"If people are intimidated out of running for office in a democracy because of these hatemongers on the left or the right, motivated by whatever, that's the path of authoritarianism, that's the path of fascism — when you are told you are in danger or your family is," she said. "A number of women have said it's not just threats against themselves but threats against their children."

In conversation with former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Clinton said the departure of people from public life because of intimidation was "not just a threat to individuals [but] a threat to our democracies."

The U.K. is preparing for a general election on Dec. 12, the third in less than five years, as the Conservative-led government desperately seeks a resolution to the Brexit crisis that has paralyzed British political life. Polling day may come days before Christmas but the campaign has so far been lacking in festive cheer.

While it is normal for some members of Parliament to stand down before an election, several notable female politicians have called it a day, citing an almost constant stream of threats and abuse.

Nicky Morgan, 47, who resigned as culture secretary this month and campaigned for the U.K. to remain in the European Union, told the Times of London: “You turn on your emails in the morning and you get a stream of people telling you they’d like to see you dead or how useless they think you are.”

Clinton, who has made a number of public appearances this month to promote a new book, has also said she is "under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about" running for president in 2020 and hadn't ruled out a last-minute bid.

Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, she said: "I think all the time about what kind of president I would have been and what I would have done differently and what I think it would have meant to our country and the world.

"So of course I think about it, I think about it all the time. Being able to do that, and look, whoever wins next time is going to have a big task trying to fix everything that's been broken."

Elon Musk says he chose Berlin over U.K. for Tesla battery factory due to Brexit - MarketWatch

There are certainly good reasons for picking Germany, and Berlin in particular, as a site for a battery plant and a research-and-development center for Tesla Inc.

But in a quick interview with Auto Express, Tesla TSLA, +1.40% co-founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk made clear why he didn’t consider the U.K.

“Brexit made it too risky to put a Gigafactory in the U.K.”
Elon Musk

Musk didn’t elaborate. A reporter for the BBC, Faisal Islam, tweeted that one issue Brexit raises for Tesla in particular is whether parts produced in the U.K. would qualify as E.U. content.

The U.K. seems likely to pursue a path of Brexit, as election polls show the Conservatives with a sizeable lead over Labour. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reached an exit agreement with the European Union that has yet to be ratified by the U.K. Parliament.

World War 3: Secret plans to silence UK public after nuclear strike revealed - Express.co.uk

During the Sixties, the world arguably came the closest to all-out nuclear war in its history as the US and Soviet Union tussled over ultimate supremacy both on the ground and in space. These tensions arguably reached their pinnacle in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, after Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to fulfil Fidel Castro’s request to place nuclear missiles in Cuba. The discovery ultimately led to a 13-day stand-off as the pair both threatened to obliterate each other with nuclear warheads and the Government, under the leadership of Harold Wilson, were also put on alert.

Historian Julie McDowall revealed the chilling knock-on effects of this period during “Dan Snow’s History Hit“ podcast earlier this month, exposing the Government’s plan should Britain come under fire.

She said: “The Government, of course, had plenty of bunkers all over the country for regional seats.

“The idea for that was, after a nuclear war, you assume London is gone, and so there would be no Westminster, no Whitehall.

“So it [the Government] would have to scatter across the country and break up into little chunks and each region would have its own bunker filled with local counsellors, local politicians and one Cabinet minister who would effectively be the Prime Minister of that little region.

Julie McDowall

“In the advance of nuclear war and the run-up to it, the Government hoped there would be a period of international tension or even a conventional war that eventually turned nuclear.”

Ms McDowall explained how this period of uncertainty would buy the Government some time, allowing for contingency plans to be put in place.

She added: “In this run-up period, one of the measures they would employ would be to cut off all the phone lines so that worried relatives can’t phone their family to see what’s happening or where they were going.

“All the phone lines would be cut off, except for, of course, VIP lines.

“But if you were living in a normal residence and you picked up your phone and it was still working, then that was quite a sinister sign, because that meant the Government had made sure your phone line was still working.

“The implications there were that your residence had been earmarked for Government use.”

However, their plans were torpedoed.

According to Ms McDowall, some local governments refused to comply.

She explained: “Lots of politicians assumed they would be able to take their families too, then they were told ‘no you cannot’.

“Of course, back in the Cold War, it was only men who would be doing this because it was mainly men who were in charge.

“A lot of these men simply said: ‘I’m not doing it, strike my name off the list, I’m not leaving my wife and kids’.

“A lot of people including politicians declared what were called ‘Nuclear Free Zones,’ Sheffield and Manchester council both declared themselves.

“They said ‘we’re having nothing to do with this, we’re not building a shelter,’ they were obliged to by law, but they refused to go along with the silly charades.”

Ms McDowall went on to detail why this plan was so important for the Government.

She added: “They didn’t want to get in the shelter and leave the rest of the population above ground to burn and die.

“That was Whitehall’s main concern once the Hydrogen bomb came in, it was obvious that millions and millions of Britons would die.

“We stopped thinking about how we could save people on the surface, the concerns switched to what they call continuity of Government.

“The Government’s main concern must be making sure Britain can continue, even if it was just a few guys in suits in bunkers.

“At least they could still come above ground eventually with a flag and say ‘Britain is still here’."

The Cold War tensions would last for more than 40 years until a change in Soviet mindset under Mikhail Gorbachev led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

However, the eighth and last leader revealed in 2006 his real thoughts on what caused the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.

He said: “The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, even more than my launch of Perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union five years later.”

The Chernobyl disaster was a devastating nuclear accident that occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the city of Pripyat, Ukraine on April 25, 1986.

It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history and is one of only two nuclear energy disasters rated at seven – the maximum severity – on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan.

World War 3 flashpoints

Initially, after the Chernobyl disaster, Mr Gorbachev and the Communist Party downplayed the incident both domestically and on the world stage, calling it a minor event that “requires no special measures to protect the population".

Moscow's handling of the disaster went on to expose the reality of human error within the Soviet system and introduced doubt and questions of competence directed at the Kremlin not seen since before World War 2.

Mr Gorbachev was unable to recover and as questions mounted so did the pressure, until eventually the regime collapsed and the Berlin Wall coming down will forever be seen as the moment symbolising the Soviet Union's demise.

However, these comments suggest that Chernobyl was the real turning point in Soviet history and the disaster arguably made the wall coming down an inevitability.

McDonald's UK staff join global day of protests over pay - BBC News

McDonald's workers in the UK have gone on strike as part of a global day of protests over pay.

Staff at six London stores walked out, while protests were held across the UK. There was also action in the US, France, Germany, Brazil and Chile.

McDonald's said that the strikers represented a "tiny proportion" of its UK workforce.

The fast food giant was also hit with a legal action in the US over sexual harassment claims.

The lawsuit alleges rampant harassment at a Michigan McDonald's franchise, which went ignored by management and was "emblematic" of a broader problem at the company.

The filing adds to roughly 50 complaints filed against the company in recent years over sexual harassment, according to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, which is working on the suit.

McDonald's has said it has revamped its harassment training and policies in recent years and is working with its franchises to implement the updates. However, lawyers working on the suit say their clients have seen little change.

"They are the definition of window dressing," said Gillian Thomas, of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is working on the issue.

Workers in the protests are demanding an end to "poverty pay" rates and better terms and conditions.

In the UK, McDonald's workers are calling for a rise in pay to £15 an hour - over a third more than what they currently earn.

They also want an end to youth rates, the choice of guaranteed hours of up to 40 hours a week, notice of shifts four weeks in advance and recognition of their union, the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU).

An employee at Crayford McDonald's in London, Lewis Baker, said he will be striking because he struggles to pay rent on his income of £8.80 an hour.

Mr Baker, 29, said: "There are a lot of workers who are struggling to pay their bills and get by day to day.

"We don't have set hours, so we don't always earn enough to pay the bills.

"If we got £15 an hour, it would have a massive impact - I would be able to afford to pay my rent, to pay my bills, go on holiday and have some kind of work-life balance."

'Poverty pay'

Melissa Evans, 32, a mum who works at McDonald's in Wandsworth Town, London, said McDonald's workers deserved "the same level of respect as everyone else".

"We are coming together to tackle poverty pay, insecurity of hours and lack of respect, which has gone on at McDonald's for too long."

This is the fourth time McDonald's workers in the UK have gone on strike since September 2017, with each successive strike getting bigger.

There has also been strike action around the world over the fast-food giant's pay rates, with thousands walking out in the US.

The company has faced criticism for paying executives large salaries, while employees on the shopfloor struggle to get by.

There were protests in five German cities on Tuesday, including Berlin and Hamburg, and also in Belgium. There were protests in Israel last week, and action is expected in New Zealand next week.

'Fighting back'

Former boss Steve Easterbrook - who was fired last week for having a relationship with an unnamed employee - received remuneration of $15.9m in 2018. That was 2,124 times the median McDonald's employee salary of $7,473.

The UK's shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, who joined workers outside Downing Street, the prime minister's residence in central London, said low pay and insecure work were "endemic" in the fast-food industry.

Owen Espley of charity War on Want, which is backing the strikes, said McDonald's workers were exploited but were "fighting back. [They are] demanding respect and a fair share of the profits".

Speaking about the action in London, a McDonald's spokesman said: "We are extremely disappointed that a very small number of our people in just a handful of our restaurants are considering industrial action.

"We understand only nine people are involved across six restaurants, which is a tiny proportion of our 130,000 workforce and 1,300 restaurants."

'Shameful': Hillary Clinton slams UK's decision to withhold report on Russian political influence - CNBC

The U.K. government's decision to delay the publication of a report on alleged Russian interference in British politics has been slammed as "inexplicable and shameful" by former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to the BBC Monday, Clinton said she was "dumbfounded that this government won't release the report about Russian influence because every person who votes in this country (the U.K.) deserves to see that report before your election happens."

"I find it inexplicable that your government will not release a government report about Russian influence. Inexplicable and shameful," she said.

Clinton's comments refer to a decision by the U.K. government to delay the publication of a report investigating Russian influence in British politics until after a general election on December 12.

The BBC said the report "includes allegations of espionage, subversion and interference in elections." "It contains evidence from U.K. intelligence services such as GCHQ, MI5 and MI6 concerning covert Russian attempts to influence the outcome of the 2016 EU referendum and 2017 general election," the BBC said.

Russia is believed to have interfered in the 2016 U.S. election that saw Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton to the presidency. Allegations of Russian interference prompted a near two-year long investigation led by Robert Mueller. The inquiry said that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in "sweeping and systematic fashion" and had been designed to favor Trump and harm Clinton's campaign.

Mueller said the inquiry did not establish that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference campaign.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today program on Monday, Clinton said "there is no doubt - we know it in our country, we have seen it in Europe, we have seen it here - that Russia in particular is determined to try to shape the politics of western democracies.

"Not to our benefit, but to theirs," she said, "there's no doubt of the role that Russia played in our 2016 election and is continuing to play."

Russia's interference in the U.S. election was seen as ranging from the leaking of documents to using social media to spread propaganda.

On Tuesday, the opposition Labour party said it had been subjected to a "sophisticated and large-scale cyber attack" on its digital platforms and the BBC quoted one unnamed Labour source as saying it had detected "tens of millions of attacks — mostly originating from Russia and Brazil." It said the attack had failed because of its security system and that no data breach had occurred.

Government criticism

The U.K. government has attracted widespread criticism after it announced last Monday that it would not allow a report examining Russian infiltration into U.K. politics to be published prior to the dissolution of Parliament ahead of the election.

The report was compiled by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) and includes analysis from British intelligence agencies. It requires clearance from the government to be released.

A government minister said on Tuesday that the report had not yet been published because of necessary procedure. Speaking to broadcaster ITV, the Deputy Finance Minister Rishi Sunak said "it is absolutely normal that reports like this go through a period of vetting which does take several weeks." He also said all donations to the Conservative party were transparent and fully in accordance with the rules, Reuters reported. For its part, Russia has previously denied meddling in foreign elections.

With political parties in full campaign mode ahead of the general election next month, the government was accused of a cover-up by the opposition Labour Party. The Sunday Times newspaper also reported that nine Russian donors to the ruling Conservative Party have been named in the secret intelligence report. It also said that intelligence agencies are "furious" over the government's block on the publication of the report.

But a government minister of state defended the delay of the report, telling parliament last week that it was "not unusual" for delays to happen when reviewing and responding to ISC reports. He also stated that the Prime Minister Boris Johnson had been busy in recent weeks obtaining a Brexit deal.

UK growth 'slowest in almost a decade' - BBC News

Britain's economy has grown at the slowest annual rate in almost a decade, according to official figures.

Year-on-year growth in the three months to end-September slowed to 1% from 1.3% in the second quarter, the Office for National Statistics said.

An ONS spokesman said: "Looking at the picture over the last year, growth slowed to its lowest rate in almost a decade."

But the economy avoided a recession by growing 0.3% in the third quarter.

The economy had shrunk in the second quarter and two quarters of contraction would have signalled a recession.

What happened in the three-month period?

Despite the economy expanding by 0.3% in the third quarter, it was not as fast as the 0.4% forecast by economists, including at the Bank of England.

A statistician at the ONS said GDP grew "steadily" in the third quarter. That was largely as a result of a "strong July".

"The underlying trade deficit narrowed, mainly due to growing exports of both goods and services."

What happened in September?

In the month of September, GDP fell by 0.1%, as had been expected.

But the ONS revised down the contraction in August to 0.2% from 0.1%.

It was the growth of 0.3% in July that drove the economy in the whole of the third quarter.

John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said: "The fact that growth was positive in the third quarter was largely due to a strong July.

"Output then fell back in August and September, which points to a lack of momentum in the economy going into the fourth quarter."

How did the different parts of the economy perform?

The statistician at the ONS said: "Services again led the way, with construction also performing well.

"Manufacturing failed to grow, as falls in many industries were offset by car production bouncing back following April shutdowns."

The ONS said the construction sector showed its first positive growth for a rolling three-month period since May.

Production was flat in the three months to September and has not shown growth over a rolling three-month period since April.

Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said: "The dominant services sector was the main driver of GDP growth in the quarter with industrial production and construction sectors adding little to overall UK GDP growth."

What does it tell us about the economy?

Ruth Gregory, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, said that while the economy avoided a recession in the third quarter, the economy was "pretty soft".

"The GDP figures suggest that the economy failed to regain much momentum after the the second-quarter contraction."

Tej Parikh, chief economist at the Institute of Directors, said that "a return to growth is welcome news, but narrowly avoiding a recession is nothing to celebrate".

"The UK economy has been in stop-start mode all year, with growth punctuated by the various Brexit deadlines," he added.

Ms Gregory added: "While the election is just under five weeks away, clearly this isn't the good news the government might have hoped for."

Was Brexit stockpiling important?

The economy had unexpectedly contracted by 0.2% in the second quarter - the March to June period - when Brexit stockpiles were unwound after the first Brexit date of 29 March.

Samuel Tombs, economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said a "renewed stockpiling boost" failed to materalise in the third quarter.

"It possible that stockpiling occurred to a greater extent at the start of the fourth quarter," he said, adding fourth-quarter growth might not be depressed to the extent he expected.

But Mr Parikh said that "the final quarter of 2019 could be weaker as stockpiles continue to be run down".

What are the politicians saying?

The Chancellor, Sajid Javid, said there figures were "another welcome sign that the fundamentals of the UK economy are strong. Under the conservatives, we've seen nine consecutive years of growth".

He added: "What it also shows is the real risk to growth in our economy is Corbyn's Labour. If they get their way, two referendums in 2020, eye watering amounts of spending and borrowing and debt, that kind of economic vandalism will bring growth in this country to a halt."

But John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, said: "The fact that the government will be celebrating 0.1% growth in the last six months is a sign of how low their hopes and expectations for our economy are."

Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat's deputy leader said: "The economy under the Tories is anaemic."

As much as it would be a relief that a formal recession has been avoided, the picture is very sluggish, in keeping with what has been called a "slow puncture" economy.

Growth of 0.3% between July and September is clearly preferable to another quarter of contraction, but still slow by normal historical standards.

Indeed, comparing the third quarter this year with the same period last year, growth of just 1% is the slowest since the aftermath of the financial crisis. It is the weakest two quarters since the financial crisis.

The background is a slower European and world economy reeling from trade wars.

But years of damaged business investment, after the Brexit referendum, are taking their toll on growth.

The latest figures in the month of September showed a contraction of 0.1%. Data has been volatile this year, with car industry shutdowns and two bouts of ultimately unneeded no-deal Brexit stockpiling.

So recession avoided, but this is not the "bounce back" promised by some.
