:08:30. > :08:33.And so you have a situation where everything will still have to go

:09:01. > :09:04.possibility of stopping trade with any nation that is trading with
:09:05. > :09:07.North Korea. That means China. That would set the global economy back
:09:08. > :09:11.massively if it did happen. Maybe it is a way of saying to China, we are
:09:12. > :09:14.really serious about this and you have got to do something. It may be
:09:15. > :09:24.that there are back channels that are open and the Chinese are hurting

:10:17. > :10:19.a very British way, a very pragmatic way of doing it, and of course he's
:10:20. > :10:26.And he wants to put pressure on us, which is why the stance is this week
:10:27. > :10:29.Bluntly, I think it looked a bit silly, because they're plainly

:10:42. > :10:49.He told the conference here he does not want to blackmail the UK,
