tackling the record is a violent from unjust legal and education system to poverty policing and racial inequality. in 2010, a conservative lead government came into power and implemented a policy over 30 over the next decade. billions of pounds of cuts and public spending in london use violence and knife. crime has increased. i tend to catch blames austerity right now we're in canada and you basically grew up around here, right? yeah. a lot of people know the area of being a tourist destination to the market,

but this is a place where you've kind of decided that you want to get involved in the lesson in the community. why is that? i think it's because if you look at the dement, well the power is big company, but we don't equally share the fruits of what's happening. and i think particularly as a young person, you see all the issues around you provided and you decide if it's not mean is going to be involved, then you will be so when you were 15 years old, he decided to join the new parliament of great britain and you gave a reading, passion, speech about me, fine, and i need someone to lead winston to leave my services, lead against the conservative policies as my crime teams,

more lives within our country. never had so much been lost by so many because of the indecision of so few. yeah. what we think you, when you decided to do that, it's about the idea that you can use it was, was again, the conservative party have the set of ideals about the way they want. but they don't follow through with this particular kind of rhetoric about leveling up the country is not matched up by any kind of real investment. it's all taping over the crux of a decade or therapy, which they prove in talking me under the law. what does a fair and more. busy equal more just country look like i think is about funded, meant investing in community. now we have a system in which communities essentially left brain problems and they face low. but we have to think about building the society in which everyone can have

a fast thought in life, which were all given that. and if there were some people that said, okay, that young either understand the way the world were. well, would you say able, i say that we just need to reframe our kind of narrative around history. the current perspective that we study, se is kind of through the lens and the power go. and we actually look at that the moment we're regular people have banded together and can achieve a lot the government have starved many council estates of funding since 2010 up to 1000 youth centers have been shut down for many young people. life is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous. tammy morley helped those who had been impacted by violence.

this is the gramm participate needs girl here, right? this is back up. could you just tell me what was going on? that 1st made you want to be black in your community. paul, it is the issues that we experience from such a young age limit in the see just this experience and i'm being exposed to such extreme violence when i was 15. my next door neighbor, my childhood friend more than he was on, killed a month before his 18th birthday. i'm so yeah, that was definitely a catalyst for me to want to one on the found how things are that can even happen. and also 5 people to work with in my community to support people who are experiencing the things i know people should actually have experience, especially children and

their friends does. could you just explain to you a little bit about the services that you provide? young people for fun is on a mission, so empower young people in communities to fight for justice and freedom. and we support young people who have experience violence to create change in their own lives, in our community and in society. and so it's about community empowerment. it's about lifting young people to be able to fries and not just provide you with a good background in law. you paid a law degree. how much do you feel that that impacted your work in the community and awareness of the situations that people come up again? when i went to university and i was study in, nor that when i 1st realized how detached the legal system or the study of the legal system is from the reality. oh,

i had an experience where in one lecture when we were learning about families, are fighting for justice to their loved ones, being incarcerate for things that they haven't done. what we're talking about is direct effect in my community and the future lawyers passing around really couldn't care about me. i realized i was nothing to do system from the inside. don't get me wrong. i respect people that do that. we have some amazing noise that we work with and i think we do need those people. i just didn't want to be one of them for i could do from the outside the work you do you see it's very kind of emotional it personal. what kind of told had that taken on you being engaged in that day to day this work can bring and joy and fulfillment. but i can't take away from the fact that it's really hard to bear witness to people's pain and watching young people process those experiences. i feel proud that they don't have to be alone, but we experiencing those things as

a community. collectively we experience and to care for, and in that sense, as long as there's injustice and all of this pain and that's happening, there's no way to not be impacted. so the toll take for me as the told i take from everybody the in 2012 as part of an effort to reduce klein, the government commission to study that looked into the background of prisoners. it found that 63 percent of the inmate surveyed had been either temporarily or permanently excluded from school. the link between a bad education and future incarceration is so distinct that it is known as a school to prison pipeline. kimmy the project b, work on the forefront project works specifically with young people that have been

excluded. how important you think is to engage with young people who are being excluded from schools. when you marginalize on people from education as past time, they will experience exclusion from society. and i think that has a knock on effect and how they perceive themselves and how they perceive the world and how they'll move for it. well, falling on from that, many schools are very disciplinarian and punitive and same young people up for imprisonment, certain young people because outside of just school exclusions, which catalog and attention. i think there's a whole spectrum that's even happening in the schools before people were excluded permanent me under the new legislation that they are trying to introduce the police cause crime sentencing bill. they are ramping up secure schools that are supposedly schools with security rather than presents with education. that is not even

a school for the pipeline anymore. we just skipped the pipeline. i went straight to the prism and it's not just about staying in school. it's also about what you learn and what's in the curriculum, and i can even really focal on this specifically. so it's about white washing of the curriculum. how do you think that links to the progress the young people can make? i think like a fundamental part of education is you study any topic from a certain perspective. and i think currently we have a very your century perspective with clues, the pivotal and fundamental road this country paid in things like empire colonialism, slavery. and if we kind of look at our narrative around the past, this is idea that essentially these things were ended by a kind of moral revelation or more development in the u. k. and across europe and across the western world. but when we look at the the haitian revolution as an example of a historical event, which is the only of a successful revolution in which was most profitable county in haiti,

essentially over who ended savory. that paid a pivotal role in shifting the tide towards abolition. but if you look at the way they are currently presented in the curriculum, it's essentially around this idea of moral development in the k. i think that has an impact on the way that we perceive social change today. because the kind of lens that we study the past in school undermines the importance in terms of the long term historical narrative, that movement paid. and that means that we under emphasize the role that we can play as a movement today. and tell me you're coming at this a few years further down the line is obviously graduated and been through the education system looking back. was there anything that you think was missing in the education system? i think for me, history was subjects. i was very passionate about i really enjoyed the civil rights movement in the miracles. one of my favorite subjects at the time leaving school i . so i knew nothing about the movement in this country. i'm learning everything

that's happening in america. i had no idea about all of the black liberation organizing that was happening in this country way before i was born. i'm continue to happen way also died. i so why wasn't, i've been for about my own history in this country is something that i can connect with them relate to and not going to build my understanding of the world. i'm living name of the society i'm living in. that's something that i really would have value and they get me wrong. i think international solidarity is really important. so i am glad that i got the understanding of what was happening abroad, but it shouldn't have come at the expense of learning anything about what was happening in this country. the in the ending march 2020. there were around 46000 recorded offences involving a knife and in london, the metropolitan police has warned that 2021 is on track to being the worst year of

teenage killing a more than a decade. as a response, the ruling conservative party has called the police to be given way to pilot while many journalists in the british media, he's a gang label without factoring in the all the reasons that lead to the file and tell me you've spoken about the importance of the distinction between the gang culture i need violence. why do you think it's so important that that distinction is understood, developing an understanding of how particular labels are used to fathom marginalized and ostracized particular groups? the word gang in this country has become synonymous with black youth. why one would off that as a question why? what really is a guy? i mean, when you look at the legal definition, that's when again, they could be a gotten by the legal definition of various groups of people that could fit the definition of a gang. but the word gang is never used to label them. and there's various research

and these, for example, one by car bessie that shows a cross section of the media. but they studied 62 percent of the time when a label was being used to describe black youth, black men and black boys. in particular, it was the gang label, and i think it's really to stall in the root causes of the issues of violence uniting and on. do you agree you have to think about the fundamental drivers and of which is basically like social economic inequality and how that is the root cause of violence. young black men, a particular present is being like immoral. and i think that connects to the stereotype in which you need to attend. she read those who are in power of the responsibility. they have been creating the social conditions for this. why that? because it's not like like the economic inequality that exists in our communities. the clothes of youth, the de funding of education, the lack of inclusive curriculum. these are all decisions being made by people in

power. and so the user stereotypes and those perceptions as a way of attention distancing themselves from how their policies have caused these social conditions and drive this violence. the gang label to me, that is an example of how certain labels san approaches are established to deny people. dad route to access the resources and support that they require to heal. so many young people die themselves. have, you know, perpetuated violence against the young people themselves. have also been victims, multiple times, repeat victimization, and said, is this psycho victimization, not healing, victimization, healing got to be fair. if there's no one that can protect you, if there's no one that can prevent that harmless thought that home or support you all you've experienced palm. why wouldn't young people take matters into that? the one that came to our scheduled programming here on out there english

take you straight live to tunis, the capital out to see where we are getting news that the al jazeera offices have been broken into by demonstrators or by the military. they've closed those offices and told journalists to remove themselves under property details quite sketchy. at the moment, we're still trying to get the exact circumstances that also we are being told that military personnel have surrounded certain government offices in the capital and in other parts of the country. and that civil servants are not allowed to go into those buildings right now. there is a standoff between the employees and the got the military at themselves. we're trying to get more information on this. let's cost over $200.00 violence. we see these live pictures coming from the capital. it's all corresponding to extensively reported from to new z a since the beginning of the arab spring,

a very fluid situation that we're now hearing about in the habit. we're not, we're still trying to get more information on exactly what's happened, not only to the al jazeera offices, but also to the government offices that seem to be surrounded by the military. what would your understanding be of the situation considering we've been following the story now? certainly for the past, what? 12 hours, 13 hours. yes. so, as you have just mentioned, it's very, it's a very gloomy situation. it's a very unclear situation to everyone, even in flight tenisha, people who would talk to inside tunisia, they couldn't tell us whether there is a cool. where is, where is the president? what is the prime minister? so those are a huge questions and they affects them raw, they affect the public opinion and the general feelings in flight today. and also how the world is looking at this at this developing situation. the, the, the, the fact that the president hasn't shown up and he hasn't tweeted and he hasn't talked to the public. so yes to the night. and also the prime minister,

was anyone arrested was any one of the medicine when the army and now we see this break in the storming of the odyssey office, which usually, usually when it happens in any country at a particular in the world, that's a bad omen that means something is being hidden, but the policy is in charge of trying to hide something for that's. that's also a very significant development. we saw it in sedan, we saw it. and in many countries, when the chaos reaches a peak. and as you mentioned, the, the army also according to the latest lines have surrounded some of the buildings, including the presidential poly sunday, prevented the workers from, from entering the police. we don't know what's going on inside the police. we don't know what's going on in fight the government buildings. we know that there is a standoff between the supporters and the opponents of president and the army, particularly the police, are trying to prevent clashes from minor clashes took place this morning and there

is a danger and fear of, of, of that situation, you know, deteriorating the escalade, let's talk about the, the moment that the president obviously dismissed the prime minister that happened to round about 15 hours ago. we've been continually fall following the story that was met with you might say, exasperation and also a huge gasp of surprise by politicians across to nicea and by the public at large. wondering whether the president could actually do this exactly. it was surprising too many to many people, even though people, tunisia, i'm not used to the to the behavior of the president present, fired many people are not surprised, but the political leaders who have been affected by his decision were surprised because they know they talk about the constitution, article 80 of the constitution stipulates that the president, yes, he can take some emergency measures,

but he can't take them without prior consultation with the, with the, with the parliament, and also with the government itself. now we don't have the parliament, we don't have the government, he froze the parliament without any consultation with them. and also he dismissed the government. it's the government that has been crippled for, for many months when he refused to swear and 11 of the ministers and those squabbles. now they don't have a, there is no lie to the end of the tunnel because the, the only body that is, that is constitutionally empowered to resolve this constitution. the problem is the constitutional court. and that doesn't exist because it has never been formed. that's also another crisis that has been going on, particularly especially, you know, leading up to what we have now. we have a problem between the branches of the power and we don't have any body that can resolve those problems. so there is tremendous fears as to the potential consequences of what's going on. okay, ma'am, and i'll just say that,

let's just bring in these pictures that we're seeing now live on. i'll just verify the viewers who are just joining us here on the channel is a live pictures from the tennessee and capital tunis where security services and the military are out in force. after the president removed the prime minister from office around about 15 hours ago, many members of the public and civil society have been out on the streets in various parts of the country, country demonstrating against the move that of also being supporters of the president. also out on the streets supporting him in his move against the prime minister. the basis of this is partly to do with the, the situation of kobe to the economy. unemployment. a general dissatisfaction with the way to nicea has moved post the arab spring with successive governments and prime ministers coming in and out of power. well that

has been the problem, hasn't it? rarely that tennessee and politicians have been unable to find consensus. and because there are 3 branches of the government or of the administration, as you suggest, it's very difficult to try and find like minded people in the country. that was still trying to find its feet after been alley was deposed without cries. so we have a scene, have a scene of fragmentation, actually since the spring continues year before the spring, the spring, we know that it was a dictatorship and one man with his supporters in the government and the military. they were a majority and they were rolling the country and there was no freedom of expression in a freedom of expression to allow any other components of the, of the civil society to express themselves or to refuse any decision. so at least there was something in the eyes of fun people fucking positive about the situation before the spring before despite the you know, the problems of individual freedoms and the economy and so on. but now since the

spring, we have a 5 mentation total fragmentation that has been developing the times of hope. when tunisia was able to organize elections and tunisia was seen as a beacon of change, a positive change in the world. we saw what happened in, in libya, we saw what happened in syria, civil war, 1000 of people being killed and you know, people who are appealing, their hope, anton is yeah, this is a different case. tunisia is an elite society that they mean the, the tuition of, of, of education, tunisia. so this is a model to, to, to imitate, in the world that has been the hope. but, you know, we have seen this 5 mentation and nobody could actually, you know, stabilize the situation because many players, many players were unable actually to sit together for a long time and to organize politics in a way that could serve the country. and people are frustrated with this situation they, that's why you have seen demonstrations in the states, you know,

supporting the decision of the, of the president, even though the president is seen by a huge, huge part of the population as a way of man who has you know those strange ways of taking decisions and not consulting with anyone. he has opponents, actually, people who hate his politics, both at the bottom level and, and the in the, in the upper throttle of the society. but now he has people supporting his decisions because they are unhappy, they are frustrated with the successive governments and particularly with the inability of those political players to sit together and do something for tunisia and not for the parties. okay, well don't go well. so get more analysis with the ability to cross over to next, gillian. he's a political fine to specializing in middle east and north africa. the institute of development studies at the university of sussex and southern england joins me now from fryeburg in germany. could talk with a mr. get, let's just get your initial reaction to what you're hearing about this ongoing

situation and to nicea. good morning, thank you very much for having me. and let me start by saying that i hope your team and tune is doing okay. i think the 1st thing to say in all of this is that this is an ongoing situation. and obviously analysis is coming through very quickly from many different perspective. but it is happening that, you know, it's still developing very quickly. and i do think we will have to take that into account. obviously, the 1st question is, what happened yesterday and whether that is the coo and i think certainly, you know, it works like a to to, and it talks like a q and a in many bray that has that appearance. and certainly it does not seem to be backed entirely by article 80 of the constitution not being said, i think it still does. trace matters, playing out today and will have to watch how people st, very acting, but also how key institute factors, including parliament and including security forces and including the unions are going to react to the. so i think it's not playing out. and that's important to

keep in mind that if you hit it with a broad brush, which is great, let's just deal with the politics of the moment. we'll deal with the social issues of what's going on in a moment. at the moment, the president's office, he has removed the prime minister, and he's also a frozen parliament itself to actually get this all up and moving again. you have to have parliament in place and you have to the constitutional court also that to be able to negotiate a path forward for all sides. none of that is happening. where would the break through come at the moment if the president is not wondering how he moves forward, and we don't really want to discuss the military here with the union. how did he deal with the politicians? i mean, technically not about can happen. i mean, it's constitutional court. obviously it's kind of the overarching issue here and kind of the overarching political failure often to the political class. and in the past couple of years, it's been the inability to, to create the constitutional court. and obviously there is no way in the next couple of days and i'd love to christ to do this and it, it obviously plays a key role in article 80 as it is set out in the constitution. i think the reaction

of parliament pending on where they're going to meet depending on how they're going to react to the situation if it's critical, especially given that case site does not have a legislative basis in parliament. all of this is happening to some degree outside of the scope of article 80, add those as of yesterday already. i think the thing to look for here is not just the constitutional text, but i think the ability of to know them political actors. and that's been something we've seen repeatedly in the last decade to still negotiate to still find common ground. and i think the common ground that will need to be found in order for some of the to be walked back over the coming days, will be outside of the strict boundaries of the constitution. hopefully within the boundaries of politics, we brought back self say you're still with us and those joining us here and i'll just there is it is 10 gmc, you join us on the news. i or as to nicea seems to go from.
