9:00 pm
one of these institutes is led by the american lawyer paul dietrich philip morris finances it with $240000.00 a year at the same time dietrich is a consultant for the regional office in america when his double role becomes known dietrich moves into the finance industry. he won't agree to talk to me in the w.h.o. report on the strategies of the tobacco industry 6 other consultants are mentioned the british toxicologist frank sullivan for instance claims that passive smoking doesn't harm your health his study on the subject is financed by philip morris. in the year 2000 and sullivan's collaboration with the tobacco industry becomes public but he still continues to advice. i mean with 2 department leaders commenting tobacco under the auspices of the w.h.o. we have 0 tolerance approaches i said the director general says the tobacco
9:01 pm
industry is our number one and we wear that badge very proudly is franks i live in . it. and we have a they can't because the names of all those persons are well known through the documents but that nadal event and is considered to w.h.o. for example in 2002 let's say. not that i'm aware of as well too and again the policies that are in place now is that all consultants no matter whether they're working in tobacco control or infectious diseases or anywhere in the organization have to sign a declaration of interest but this means a lot of trust. they should be reviewed trust i think that you should trust you trust you can. already being suspicious of all the people and their capacities to do things ok.
9:02 pm
and also. they always say ok we had a problem and there were a single person who were corrupt this was this i live in the trees and so on. but i have always thought and i mean it wasn't really a single person's and now it's over ok let's just say that segments of. it would have all the tobacco company documents which show how major corporations operate and the pharmaceutical companies or the chemical companies do not operate any differently their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health so these are the people that are the h one n one push. swine flu or h one n one is presented by the w.h.o. and in the public media as a huge threat wrongly as that leader emerges. if you've been diagnosed with
9:03 pm
probable or presumed 2009 and one or swine flu in recent months you may be surprised to know this the odds are you didn't have a 2001 flu in fact you probably didn't have flu at all. many countries including germany italy france and great britain concluded secret agreements with pharmaceutical companies before the swine flu incident which obliged them to purchase swine flu vaccinations but only if the w.h.o. issued a pandemic level 6 alert. does now at the start of the 2009 influenza pandemic giving. reason. right now. made yarden. sunroof. in. me but i can
9:04 pm
see that trigger minutes are not stopping to must and if you can just kind of going to do need to go through the. most. swine flu makes considerable profits for the manufacturer. and 1st quarter net. profit in the quarter rose to one point. $6000000000.00 us dollars from $1.00 i tried to arrange an interview with the person responsible for swine flu at the w h o. he was often on television at the time but i get an appointment with the official press spokesman 11 countries officially reporting 331 cases of influenza a h one n one infection with 10 deaths.
9:05 pm
where you have to be aware of this of course you have to be aware of everything that's going on and it is extremely easy to after the fact say well maybe should not have done y. and a should not have done b. however think about the opposite what would have happened how the influenza killed 50 percent of the people it infected and there was no. no no no. no and 90. days and. then me included. is there
9:06 pm
a. group but who says he's not. at the time i'm pregnant and i am sure it's crowns in all forms of travel public media exaggerates with words and images the dangerous. from swine flu. when would be in order to get. there. he said i did i don't like the guidelines and then there were the low amazing could they have declared the condom make $116.00 also with the 0 at the finish no. data l.s.a.t. the. seem to be in mortality that same clue yet as likely did you deal. me.
9:07 pm
so this is. this was removed. before. p.p. . and you're missing the i can leave the pharma industry in so fan i'll see i'm no good and feel fine and good at the hobby but if you really have to look to local to do like phone calls and also there's all of. those 20 or so really that's all but instead of just us of course would like to have a vaccine tomorrow we would have wanted to have it just sitting in 2009 miss kinealy is a member of the w h m swine flu working group previously she had worked for the french pharmaceutical company trans to the press spokesman doesn't allow me to interview her so i try to approach her directly at a conference. i asked miss kinealy why the criteria of severity was deleted from
9:08 pm
the definition of a pandemic. the the truth their objective. their. value. i. don't want to. because the quote was not really. do.
9:09 pm
it's going to. do. i'll give you. have to. get. them into. the working group on swine flu consists of 13 external consultants to report conflicts of interest ferguson declares consultancy fees from glaxo smith kline baxter and the manufacturers of the swine flu vaccines and medications not a problem for the dollar. in 2007 albert osterhaus right on the dutch health commission due to his conflict of interest he declares to the. he has shares in the pharma company viral clinics which is suspected of profiting from swine flu
9:10 pm
he also declares that he is the chairman of. describing it as a group of independent scientists in fact it is partly financed by vaccine manufacturers. i can tell you they have no scientific meeting today organized that is not being spun that sponsored by industry and rightly so the industry is making the vaccines it's not the national institutes that are making the vaccines any longer industry is doing it i very curious. at the moment i'm working more with the private sector as well so i started still consulting from time to time i used to working with this you. influence i guess on the channels that particular organization because i saw it you declared this is a conflict of interest. and it's not a conflict of interest but i declare also what might be perceived as a conflict of interest. to be very careful so at least if you say that and of
9:11 pm
course people can hold it against you yeah but at least i can always say and i've always done that so hugh you're at least you show what you do it was written there independent group of scientists yes when i looked under website as saw that it's funded by all. it's not funded by some money comes from from from vaccine produces but there's money coming from many other sources as well and that's the same with w.h.o. and a lot of other you know organisations as long as you're transparent and show what you're doing it's fine i think how is that percentage of funding i don't know exactly but there is a substantial part of the funding comes from elsewhere from meetings comes from comes from european projects come from and there's a percent just coming from industry as well and that's completely transparent no it's fine to bring it up again but for me it's. i don't get any hard figures. without any facts without transparency i can't make any progress here.
9:12 pm
not only.
9:13 pm
this kind of a scam. it's keep. it. in the case of the pharmaceutical industry it's even more difficult for the w.h.o. to maintain its independence than with the tobacco industry on the one hand the
9:14 pm
w.h.o. is dependent on the pharmaceutical industries for baser to medication but the industry's financial interests mustn't damage the. area health one thing is clear today the pharmaceutical industry is part of the health system just like the government's. politics are losing power and that's also reflected in the financing of the w.h.o. and the 1990 s. all countries froze their membership contributions in the wake of the financial crisis. today u.n. organizations foundations n.g.o.s and industry contribute almost 40 percent of the w.h.o. its annual budget the 2nd largest source of finance right after the usa is the bill and melinda gates foundation. 30 years ago and starting
9:15 pm
microsoft there was we had a very ambitious vision a computer for everyone. now i join you in seeking to achieve an even more important vision which is good health for everything and being today the w.h.o. relies on voluntary contributions like that from the gates foundation but these are often linked to conditions. the w h o's annual budget amounts to about $2000000000.00 coca-cola spends twice that much on advertising alone and the hospitals around lake geneva spend $6000000000.00 a year. when it was founded the w.h.o. could decide how to distribute its funds itself now 70 percent of its budget is tied to particular projects countries or regions.
9:16 pm
if the w.h.o. receives funding to fight malaria for example it can't use that money to combat it mona. they have a lot of delays says will that will put it in very precise words at present w.h.o. a lot of the operational capacity of culture to do the work of full emergency public health is called. what does the director general of the w.h.o. think about that. i want to ask her what constraints she is under. after decades of the program with instructions day to angry computers. on their own identifying backgrounds and predicting human behavior artificial intelligence could
9:17 pm
monitor ombudsman. and decide on a future big. picture decodes the world according to ai and exposes the bias inside the machine coming soon on al jazeera. americans are struggling to pay their rent the problem isn't just limited to the cities. of all the governor of the good social backers cast doubt on the country's good stuff. we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost on al-jazeera. this is the opportunity to understand the very different way where there. is and we don't leave. in 2012 al-jazeera traveled to iraq people here are definitely scared to speak on camera they're saying that if they talk to us they think they'll be arrested down the line to take the pulse of a country ravaged under us occupation some of these graves are completely destroyed
9:18 pm
it's one of the most holy and sacred sites in all of iraq turned into a battleground between the mighty army and the americans rewind returns to iraq after the americans on al jazeera. the top stories on al-jazeera british prime minister to resign may has announced her resignation chill stands out as leader of the conservative party next month and stay on as caretaker prime minister until a successor is chosen she been under growing pressure to resign with the brics that process in disarray. but it is now clear to me that is it it is in the best
9:19 pm
interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort. so i am today announcing that i will resign as leader of the conservative and unionist party on friday the 7th of june so that as excess can be chosen i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love india's prime minister narendra modi has pledged to take his country to new heights after leading his party to a landslide reelection victory it gives modi a powerful mandate to implement his nationalist vision which promises a stronger economy and a more influential role in international affairs protesters are on the streets in the algerian capsule algiers for the 14th consecutive friday there demanding democratic reforms and the removal of politicians for former president of blessings beautifully because governments presidential elections are expected in july. a
9:20 pm
prominent religious scholar is one of 2 people killed in a mosque attack in the afghan capital kabul a bomb reportedly went off during friday prayers afghanistan's interior ministry says 16 worshippers world wouldn't it has happened at the i'll talk with a mosque in the east of the city in pakistan at least 2 people have been killed in a bomb blast at a mosque in the city of coretta explosion happens inside the main hall and half an hour before worshipers were to drive students around the world have gone on strike to demands governments take action on climate change organizers say they're expecting more than a 1000000 people to join in friday's protests in 110 countries. a space x. rockets has successfully blasted off from cape canaveral in florida with a payload of 60 satellites they're the 1st of $12000.00 we put in all but for an internet service being launched by owner in one mask well those are the headlines
9:21 pm
now it's back to trust. i'm a filmmaker i have a daughter it is important to me that she finds the world in good condition. and i can tell you the most scientific meeting today organized that is not being spun the sponsored by industry and rightly so the industry is making the vaccines it's not the national institutes their obligation to their shareholders completely overwhelms any consideration of public health universal health coverage is the single most powerful concept that public health has to offer. people. since i can't get to speak to market chan i meet one of her close advisors. a sink it's simply a wrong perception to sink that can be external independent review because
9:22 pm
then you have to say who is selecting this independent expert and who is controlling their independence and who is controlling the independence of those controlling the independence. and such. of course he's right but he's wrong you know his is mixing everything up because this world is as it is and you have to do what you can to make sure that the independence of the science is as good as possible it will never ever be perfect he's quite right that he should be talking about his own i mean he is from switzerland he came straight from switzerland which is a country that is completely locked into a partnership approach and he's in charge of partnerships. so i know. this was very keen that any companies could have a strong mind. you
9:23 pm
. look. to present. them for.
9:24 pm
one view. is contributing to the trivialisation of the risks of radioactive contamination in public. and the. data. can. together with the. nuclear catastrophe. in. the dangers of nuclear radiation hazard for example keeping silent about a rise in cancer. it's difficult to find anybody who is allowed to talk the man. off matsumoto. is also a doctor and has founded a convalescent camp for children from camp dominated area he was. there was another name of the new sample but it's not children that the. son or
9:25 pm
snuck in yet there so when i was about that i was helping out there. can cause you know i will commit an amount of you know when you are cocksucker. should i think you need to look at your much easier stuff but it's got that with all it's not the want to have. this kind of meat do you call the 100 there kid you were out can you go to. your dorm or was it all i just felt it would all go using the interview date if they must. as a result of experience after turn out all the w h l recommendations for iodine my revised in the year 999 and of the supervision of the british scientists keefe baber stock and member of staff at the w.h.o.
9:26 pm
. when i started my program with w.h.o. within a few weeks i learned that there was a claim that there was a large number of thyroid cancers in children and this ended up in the mission to minsk. astonishing number of children who had been operated for thyroid cancer quite young children served to see as we did on that day and i think it was 1112 maybe cases in one place at one time all having been operated was really quite extraordinary. we took it from there. russian colleagues i wish to short papers in the journal nature to draw attention to it often the papers were published w.h.o.
9:27 pm
me to withdraw the paper from nature. a paper published with about 5 or 6 other people. agreeing on this position. and crys lost me to redraw that paper from publication. ofter to being published tries. to naval this is written by. you is my career he said your career will be shortened if you don't do this. or. did you have any contact us w h o f that's a typical accident you know much a lot of them and as it does it's a result of the cloudiness got out and. you must know. that i sort of it because they should have it on 20 and the polls have to name out
9:28 pm
that they're not and you go i say stay yeah. when you. was a successful tended to my stuff. then there were so whores as a mother then i thought i was and all. that and all said so john that i don't need my study is so you have them on the net and they mustn't stop well beach about him and then they just throw up they could just as one of those i o. . come out of the door and they must understand what i have been all all all of months ending up to accomplish that. i still find it beyond belief that naoto kan was convinced that the time that no radioactivity would emerge after the accident. just one day after the accident a monitoring station of the organization c t b t o recorded raised levels of
9:29 pm
radioactivity 200 kilometers from the nuclear power station. maybe what i'm on. and she doing it. take. there you don't buy that kind of man can we don't scare the mom. gave them on then that they're calling about that event. and if we have come up with another mistake if i had there was need to be one of these to sort either their children we know you've got a gun with money for mike to see my g. mother movement there. to meet their this mom all when i got up and i not been long so i know they were there. and that's when it is going to settle down other than
9:30 pm
home so they move which isn't good for the. weather so you know whether it's going to do still do we do you know let us in the studio cooks but who is right if indeed you know this now and also you can see it so i just got out of the pointy end so it would be an awful scene but i'm on a what's a call to you so if that's what that night i couldn't even if you come was you know . what do you think today about i had an intake as the nuclear accident when again it's more or less what was said in the video people were not taking all it on as if it were the job of these authorities have not said that that should be there and they have distributed are you going tablets pre-position them but have not yet i asked anyone to take them taking i don't like tablets in the absence of i don't read radiation is actually for you know you need to mash i don't i'm
9:31 pm
taking iodine to the exposure and i stand by that from today's point of view was the exposure given at that time in most affected areas are not you know again that's almost 5 years ago and i can't remember the process from day to day and certainly we would have adopted through our recommendations based on the information we were getting. but there are these guidelines and it's written in yeah you should take i have been within the 1st 6 hours after a nuclear accident. that's in the air and it's also clear that it was not given in full. it's also effects i mean that's something you don't have to look up it's obvious ok. i really think you are wasting your time on this topic and then we should move on to other topics because i only have until 12 o'clock is it that you can say something critical about the tiffany's government i.
9:32 pm
work on the basis of facts and if i don't have the facts and the information a 100 fingertips i'm not going to speculate. but in general is it possible for me to criticize nations. and i'm not going to say anything more about this what should i say anything or no this was a general question not in relation to. well let's move on to another topic ok is it getting much difficult for you now that w h o has those. who says w toes are stressed that you. and the new york academy of science books this one. comes up with an estimate of 985000 deaths but that is world wide between 986 and 2004. and of course that makes
9:33 pm
a dramatic contrast with what the establishment says which is still around 50 deaths and possibly $4000.00 cancers as a as a final total. we have been in front of the world health organization headquarters in geneva for 7 years now and it is a permanent peaceful protest. the other major mission is that the world health organization has never considered anything except cancer. as a health effects through committee so minister that role model is in some ways that you should be if you use the bus your admission yes you me here right. is it your school your students. really are very much here. in this case. the school doesn't. get prayer the right here. for.
9:34 pm
the rest of. us to. be. presumed by the church to. rescue some beautiful people so to be eventually destroy anybody you just want to be of justice going to sleep. since january we know that there are other diseases one of the diseases unfortunately. it's cardiovascular disease infertility diseases other than cancer there's a book maybe you heard about it of the academy of science which was refuted by the new yorker calamy of sciences because it's i want to sound. but that's not true. if you read the account of the statement from the new york academy of sciences and 2011 or 12 they were puting it at the board and let me give you this this is from the journal of radiology monitoring where you ok the york academy of sciences which
9:35 pm
talks about all the flaws of that ok ok so i should also if you 17 or book review by independent to me. yeah yeah. ok read this and then we meet again. hello this is me and frank what does it mean exactly and that the new york academy of science repudiate the chairman of. the editor tells me that the academy never repudiated the book he permits me to record the phone call but later he withdraws his permission is in the able to speak freely either. perhaps the publisher of the turn of a book can help me. orning good
9:36 pm
morning the original contact person at the new york cabbie of science and you know agreed to publish the book and then there was a big draw to the new york academy and they didn't think it was a good idea and i suspect that they were pressured by the nuclear industry but i don't know for sure. is the influence of the nuclear industry. the international atomic energy agency i a e a wants to promote the safe and peaceful use of atomic energy. when we need an important and viable option for many countries as a state in. the w.h.o.
9:37 pm
is concerned with health these are different priorities but the 2 organizations are working closely together. for example together with other un organizations they are compiling a report on the health consequences of her novel. this is you're a. critic if you don't and they. tended not to invite critics for their 2 reports one of. the thing was that the word be whole series of informative is going on between w.h.o. and i i quite senior levels very senior levels. and they would. predetermined what the line they would take. that's why they had a w.h.o. stroke. meeting in riyadh 2005 far to put a line across this is a this is what we're going to do the trouble was that many many people came.
9:38 pm
near out works at the. she's responsible for the risks of radioactive contamination i deliberately make an appointment to see her in paris the press department won't get in the way here to make sure she agrees to see me i don't tell her what i want to talk about until we 1st meet. is like a lot of them said we've seen that there have been 1000000. this is because they look one of their own. and then the money. $1000000.00 this is it but this is because they are looking at a broader patch of population $1000000000.00 that's you think you can add $1000000000.00 but seriously yes but do you seriously take course you have more than we did request of how can you seriously believe that accident caused 50 deaths
9:39 pm
. but it's still under. so we wrote the other report. and the initials are t o r c h which is torch we said right away that we expected somewhere between 30 and 60000 altogether worldwide future death because the plume from chernobyl went right round the world . not hemisphere and whiles the concentrations were low far far away and it doesn't matter because the many many millions of people there are 600000000 people and europe alone. and they were all affected even if it's all kinds of it is that you won't have anything that's you'll see even 5 caning if you hadn't mentioned that it often in regular in the soviet union.
9:40 pm
i we were not using cancer mortality figures but rather incidence is because as you know most of the cancers can now be treated in therefore that will not work valid the associated i don't know whether you have not is but our health risk assessment is only with the log of but i mean if one side of the experiments belong to a year this is kind of anticipating that those as from my hay are not on the best of their science which is the case i don't think they were there to represent any
9:41 pm
interest i mean it was criticised that there was no color just on our radio biologist also no scientist who published critical articles on has effect of nuclear energy but when you need to do this equate poor it is not a question of printing an activist a from the left with an activist a from the right wing is a question in science what's happening is that there are groups outside that they want to use those stevens to say you see nuclear energy is is bad is it is dangerous why with want to stop the use of the nuclear energy which is a different cause do and saying it could also be the other way around that nuclear industry. tries to not to tell the whole truth about it has impacts. really i have no doubt for sure we are dead and we are doing the best that we can and with this report of everybody recognize that there is a need for a. 35 institution that would sense i mean with weight.
9:42 pm
and powerful institution it would be the best for all of us and i will fight for that. for the rest of my life. convenes public health officer and i think my record accidents that we need to fight and not afraid. a scientist in the united states this past spring maybe observation that this generation of children. is the 1st generation in modern history. there's not going to be as healthy as their parents. that should not be. what do i do with this knowledge now go out on the streets together with independent who are just go home again. and i at the end now is there any real and . margaret chan carries on.
9:43 pm
right it's over to you folks who would like to start the round of questions. is it on. yeah ok 1000000 frank open media it's a question to dr chan we have just learned that area if you. are and climate change global health challenges but i'm asking myself how can we meet. if that is constantly losing power important no 9 nations may want to wreak. even compared to the titanic i would say so isn't it your responsibility dr chan to step down before the end of your 2nd term an audit to
9:44 pm
signal to the well that your organization your ship is sinking. you as an excellent question if i tell you that big toe as an organization only 30 percent of my budget is predictable funds other 70 percent i have to take a head and go around the world to beg for money. and when they give us the money they are highly linked to their preferences what they like it may not be the priority of the big show so if we do not solve this you know. we're not going to ask that to be as great as we were at.
9:45 pm
the weather sponsored by. gloriana welcome back to your international weather forecast for the recent days we have seen plenty of rain down here across southern portions of brazil you can see here on the satellite the streak of clouds and with that we have seen plenty of rain you can see the area still going to be seeing rain here today yesterday over 100 millimeters fell across this area today is going to be a very wet day and indeed we could be even seeing some localized flooding but by tomorrow that system does push out we're going to be much drier than we were and we're going
9:46 pm
to sing plenty of sun across the region a sense young $21.00 degrees few rio at $26.00 and what is out is at about 17 degrees well another area we're watching for very heavy rains here across parts of central america and we do have a disturbance in the eastern pacific right here that is helping to kick that off here in nicaragua we have seen about $156.00 millimeters of rain just in the last 24 hours on that eastern coast and it's really on the eastern coast it's going to get the highest amounts of rain over the next few days notice on the forecast map continue stay quite green about means all rain across much of this area here friday as well as into saturday but in terms of accumulation watch this we do expect to see a bull's eye right here on the eastern seaboard and we could be seeing anywhere above $250.00 to possibly $300.00 millimeters of rain and more flooding expected across much of that area. the west sponsored. stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different
9:47 pm
perspectives as on just long standoff with international court is finally over separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the journalism protesters complain about the under reporting of police violence the sensationalizing of the demonstrations with the listening post on al-jazeera. once and the mother tried now settled in towns and villages. but many
9:48 pm
are unregistered and invisible. parts 6 boys and 2 girls none of them have citizenship al-jazeera world meets the great people. without on i've been put on the worst news possible nonexistent. statelessness in lebanon. on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. my he'd seen this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes i do so with no ill will but with enormous and jewelry and gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. british prime minister to resign me
9:49 pm
announces her resignation after facing a revolt over her latest plan. never enter modi is set to be reelected as india's prime minister after his governing party wins a landslide in the general election. so he of arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon meets sudan's military leaders a move that could spark more protests in khartoum. i'm joined again go with the sport the toronto raptors are in uncharted. territory just one win away from the n.b.a. finals. well after 3 tamil shuras years in office british prime minister to resign may has announced her resignation she'll stand down as leader of the conservative party on june 7th and stay on as prime minister and till
9:50 pm
a successor is chosen was the media in smith's a short while ago outside downing street in london calls for her something we've had been growing with the process for the u.k.'s departure from the european union in disarray. but it is now clear to me that is it it is in the best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort so i am today announcing that i will resign as leader of the conservative and unionist party on friday the 7th of june so that is success can be chosen i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. while opposition leader jeremy corbyn says a general election must be held as soon as possible yes we want to prevent and no deal breaks it and we will do everything in parliament to prevent and no deal
9:51 pm
breaks but the reality is a new conservative leader isn't going to solve the problem there has to be another opportunity for the people of this country to decide who they want to be in their government how they want the government to be run what the long term strategy is that government i think we did a general election we don't need another tory leader installed by tory of pace. well we'll have more on the implications of today's events in just a moment but 1st lawrence lead takes on the back at some time in office. it began so well with the new prime minister from the political chaos that followed the bricks and referendum set out her agenda which suggested a bold change of direction for the governing conservative party we will make britain a country that works not for a privileged few but for every one of us. that will be the mission of the government i lead and together we will build
9:52 pm
a better britain. sheep in the home secretary in charge of the police immigration and security for several years with a reputation for hard work competence respected but not loved by colleagues but as prime minister less than a year into the job it was her decision to call a necessary election and that was the beginning of the end the campaign was an inspiring stories amaze message repeated so often do you trust to have strong and stable leadership strong and stable leadership that strong and stable government the results well her face said it the nights she and the conservatives clung to power but their majority was gone and so was her authority she was not a personality politician in the same way and germany called even david cameron was she doesn't believe in personality politics and that becomes harder and harder than the age of social media and old timidly the country never fell in love with theresa

may it tolerated her and the party tolerated her and the challenge now is to find someone who can lead the country but also bring some fades and dynamism it's been lacking in recent years restless colleagues sensed opportunity then foreign minister boris johnson amount of power bishan undermined her repeatedly with less than coded criticism of what he saw as her soup. cautious approach to brecht's s. then came the policy speech where almost everything went wrong the interrupting prankster the coughing the letters showing off the sound behind her none of it her fault but it created a fatal impression that not only was her resume incompetents she was also unlucky the windrush scandal the violations of the rights of people from the west indies who had come to britain decades ago only to find themselves at risk of deportation because of policies established by may when she was home secretary did her no good either so much for a country that works for everyone and i want to dispel any question that my

government is in some sense clamping down on the old systems particularly those in the caribbean. and life here to tell it to you today because we're getting the story into the us but bricks it proved impossible for her to manage the supposed hard liner accuse of flip flopping between the 2 warring sides in her party unable to make a decision about whether she wants of the u.k. a little bit in or completely else of the european union in the end she was undone by indecision in those 2 little 391 so the no politics at the top is always lonely and perhaps a challenge was impossible to make a success of bricks it while holding together a party at war with itself. wallace cross live now to lawrence lee us in london and lawrence the european question managed to dispatch the u.k. 1st female prime minister it's now done the same for the 2nd.

well yeah and the other side bracks this is it is a monster isn't it and it just hates politicians alife it's done now for the last 4 conservative prime ministers the rest of the british relationship with europe all of us a moderate faction then john major of a maastricht david cameron and now and now this and that and they just can't figure out a way to do it they're going to try was somebody else they have a shot with tom bright who's the liberal democrats. spokesman here just what some 1st about about about series in may she she said in a valedictory speech. whoever takes over has to compromise and yet you know you very often accuse her of being unwilling herself to compromise indeed on the phrase that while she has persevered for the last 3 years she has never really sought to engage with the opposition parties she didn't try to do that said yeah she tried to after the 11th hour and of course it didn't work. and inevitably the questions are already turning away from her and what happens next it looks inevitable the next

conserves apostle even if a prime minister is going to be harder. than they did didn't she was how how do you think it's possible for them to get that version through you think i'll break this down more likely won't but certainly i think because the new leader of the conservative party is someone who's going to have to appeal to the 120000 conservative party members who almost to a man the woman heartbreaks it is very likely that the leader prime minister will be a hot breakfast tea and therefore will push for no deal that will be completely unacceptable the referendum 3 years ago no one in the leave camp was arguing for no deal for a prime minister to impose that on the u.k. without the idea of having a final say on the deal of people's vote would be completely unacceptable and completely undemocratic in. but just to be clear could they i mean if they tried to have of those little parliament over stupid lives because that's all that interested to destruction could they try and force the whole bricks it through

without parliamentary consent do you think well the difficulty is people know is that the default position remains that we leave without a deal on the sody 1st of october now bearing in mind that the conservative party are going to be battling for their leadership until the summer recess we then have when we return a sum total of $22.00 days before the 31st of all the $22.00 days of parliamentary time in which to negotiate something new clearly that is not possible so either the governments are going to try to crush this out with no deal all they going to have to seek an extension to article 50 but i mean i mean the logic is that a hot breakfast if they could just chill the fuck down filibuster the process run out some time in the north of us for an extension of possible isn't there is a real risk of that sort o. coleman has made it very clear that i'll be completely unacceptable as have a number of conservative ministers who have said they would walk from the government if that is what they pursue so it's clear that this issue of europe is going to continue to crucify the conservative party and unfortunately the country

as well all right thank you very much for that so they audit any prime minister has a clear anything up no it absolutely has to look a large part i thank you very much indeed for arlen's prime minister only a varadkar is mourning the election of a new prime minister in britain may lead seen a new phase in the brics and negotiations that could be very dangerous for arlen's the changes to the ceiling soon resolve the sticking points over the irish boards or at the moments northern ireland since parts of the u.k. and the republic of ireland to both parts of the e.u. with people and goods passing through the between that scene the fear is that after breaks at a hard boards or will separate the scene arlen's checks and inspections regime pulls and threatening trades and the good for. peace agreements to avoid this the e.u. and the u.k. decided on a fallback plan or a backstop which would keep the border open and free of restrictions after the

brics transition period in the absence of a new trade deal but that sparks a political backlash with critics saying it could leave britain tied to the e.u. in definitely well taken that britain is a former political correspondent for the irish times and snow a columnist for the irish music joins us now from wexford in republican violence thank you so much for speaking to us here on al-jazeera arlen's isn't a very difficult situation because of the situation we've just line to because the solution engineered to deal with the u.k. leaving the us is unacceptable to so many praxis years. yes we're worried sick about this latest development because. we felt that she meant well even though she was a very poor politician and couldn't manage her own party as we can see so the fear is now that a hard liner like boris johnson could take all of her who would appear to be in
10:00 pm
favor of a no deal breaker. less the you can give them some something very soft indeed that suits him but it's looking very bad and the conclusions for the border situation are ominous not only from a trade point of view but also from a security point of view because there was a long history of. a type organizations attacking border posts and caused some posts on the border because they symbolize the division of our land by a by the british. empire over the years ok well if the your king leaves with no deal let's say porous johnson or a hard brick city or becomes the u.k. prime minister given the noises that the us making they are not prepared to renegotiate this deal if the u.k. does leave with no deal what will happen with.
