for them london is a safe haven. it is stable, and secondly judicial system has worked here perfectly. in russia, there is a saying that never say never to being poor or getting into jail. you can't say that in the uk, that is why they love london because they actually came here... to play their own deals to find out who is guilty and who is not. because they know that the law here works, and those with a lack in russia. that is why london is a safe haven for them. olga, a fascinating insight as always. thank you so much. lots and lots of reaction online, as well, so check that out for more details. but now let's turn to the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, who's been beating with the british prime minister borisjohnson and his british counterpart, the foreign secretary dominic raab during a trip to london. there was an awful lot on the agenda, including the coronavirus pandemic, as well as a potential us— uk trade agreement. at one country was clearly front and centre — and that china. we talked about how we'
