Stephen Barclay accuses EU of trying to ‘rerun old arguments’

By 840 0

Stephen Barclay, the Brexit Secretary has accused the EU’s chief negotiator Michel Bernard Barnier, of trying “to rerun old arguments”. Michel Barnier said that Britain would be free to leave the proposed single customs territory which is designed to avoid physical border on the Irish border.

This is rejected by the Government and the DUP, since the Northern Ireland would have to remain within it. The UK had “put forward clear new proposals” said Barclay.

The Parliament has yet to agree the terms of withdrawal, but The UK is due to leave on 29 March. The UK and EU have been arguing over the contentious issue of the Irish backstop. This is to prevent the checking on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

In some Tweets, Mr Barnier said the UK would not be forced into a customs union against its will through the Northern Ireland backstop. “With a very real deadline looming, now is not the time to rerun old arguments. The UK has put forward clear new proposals. We now need to agree a balanced solution that can work for both sides.”, Tweeted Barclay.

Wall Street critic Warren vows to break up Amazon, Facebook, Google

By 895 0

Senator Elizabeth Warren on Friday vowed to break up Amazon, Google and Facebook if elected US president to promote competition in the techn sector.

Warren, who is on a vie to be in the top positions in the presidential candidates said in a blog that on their way to the top, the big tech companies purchased a long list of potential competitors, like Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram.

She wrote: “They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation,”, said in reuters reports.

Amazon unexpectedly cancelled plans in February to build an important outpost in the neighborhood that might have created 25,000 jobs, blaming opposition from local leaders.

In an event held near the proposed Amazon site, Warren said that large tech companies come into towns, cities and states and “bully everyone into doing what they want” and “roll right over” small businesses and startups which are a threat.

Britain to give jailed British-Iranian aid worker diplomatic protection

By 812 0

Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said that the UK decides to provide diplomatic protection to British-Iranian mother. This is to underline the government’s belief that Iran has made an unjust behavior in her treatment.

Hunt said that this move is unlikely to be a “magic wand”. He said that formally it recognizes that the U.K. government views her treatment as unjust and illegal.

In a video statement in Twitter, Hunt said that “This represents a formal recognition by the British Government that her treatment fails to meet Iran’s obligations under international law and elevates it to a formal state-to-state issue”.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was a project manager in the Thomson Reuters Foundation, was arrested in April 2016 as she headed back to Britain with her daughter after a family visit.

She was convicted of plotting to overthrow Iran’s clerical establishment. The charge was denied by her family.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe had a hunger strike in protest at her treatment in jail. She had several health issues. She was undergoing tests for breast cancer and a series of panic attacks, and her emotional state had gone worse during her confinement.
