the the, me, the i'm on the inside and here top stories on al jazeera, argentina's president, alberto fernandez, has suffered a severe set back in mid term elections with his ruling coalition losing control of the senate for the 1st time in for 2 years on the ballot were half the members of the low chamber and a 3rd of the senate teresa by report. there's a bit question about what will happen from now on whether this will exacerbate the tensions within the ruling coalition. the tension between preference for me and he's vice, press that the powerful vice president, christina,

for now this the cursor. so we're going to have to see what the government does next for this clearly sends a very, very strong message. i didn't time spoke. they said that the economy is a priority. argentina government is currently negotiating with international monetary fund, a $44000000000.00 loan, and this is crucial for argentina's economy. and what will happen in the month ahead? thousands of opposition. supporters have protested against the condition president, accusing him of a power grab. they marched to the parliament and soon as i said that his prime minister unsuspended parliament in july, he says he did it to save his country and fight corruption. the son of libby as former lead him warmer, gadhafi, is running to the country's presidency. next month, they fall as long as he wants to restore unity decade of conflict since his father will ponens prime ministers, calling on nato to take concrete steps to resolve the morgan crisis on its order

with others. as of people on campus hoping to get into the european union, the pollution government's accused of encouraging them to cross into poland illegally. the bodies of 8 african migrants have been found in the bows off the coast of spain. ground canary on and 60 others were rescued. 3 were flown to hospital in critical condition. 3 men have been arrested on terrorism charges after man was killed in a car explosion. in the united kingdom, it happened at a hospital on sunday. at least say the car involved was a taxi passenger was killed at the drive. it is in a stable condition. okay. you up to date those all your headlines denise continues here now does. they're off the big picture day with us. ah,

think i had a tipping point when we had the 1st death current in this country. we do not have enough people. we will be using mosques. our ministers had no idea what happening on the shop floor. but i could see the body bags ethnic minority groups were disproportionately affected, white, and pregnant and health care workers, why when they've been protected you can understand the story of modern britain without understanding the story of

immigration from the commonwealth. right? so caribbean south asians or the people that were invited to help rebuild the post war economy in the u. k. they then arrived here and suffered racism, not just, not just from the state but on the streets as well through the 60 seventy's eighty's all the way up until today. basically. that's the thing with race and immigration in britain, the tube and so closely entwined. and it's when thatcher was speaking about, there's a fear in this country, the country's going to be swamped by people of a different culture swamp. you know, we, we know what that's a different color. that's exactly what it was. you know, and off the back of that and those appeals to nativism and to nationalism. she wins the sentinel in general election, it gets her into power. then she brings in the new liberal revolution in the, in the eighty's which completely transforms a country. and it's when we had the,

you know, privatization of industry, we had deregulation of the economy which changed from a welfare state to this market lead stay. that wasn't just politics and economics. it was, you know, society and culture is what, right? and then, and you have her success that your major, who comes in after her and just continues and builds on everything that she's done before, is that he brings a more privatization, many more quangos, less government agencies. and then you get tony black coming in in 1997 and he professes, i'm going to change everything. things can only get better. and i feel like that's why people actually felt it because i knew for me growing up in the early ninety's, it was really hard. it was like quite a hostile place. you're walking to school dogs, i've been 70 people, i shout and racist remarks. are you and any get through? it's like the late ninety's and we had our own communities. and so we had a refugee day at the school and everyone would come and bring their own dish is after bly wins. and i say that it was, it was, these,

it is funding going to was the different community initiatives. and you can't, you felt her. and, but all of that couldn't have happened without the fire. and the anti races fights from activists throughout the years. that the anti racism struggle, that gets us to that point where multiculturalism, it's, it's not so much celebrated, but it's, you know, it's, it's kind of understood as a de facto norm of the country. so that's this moment why kind of black comes in and the question really for him is, what kind of set up is new labor going to look like? is it actually just going to be a continuation of what we've had for 18 years on the conservative will academia liberal agenda, or is it really going to be something new and a new direction for the country? margaret sasha was once asked, what is your greatest legacy? and she said, new labor tony blake was a successor and an to thatcher. he reconfigured that labor policy quite

fundamentally. so lay a policies traditional commitment to public ownership of democratic control over the economy that is abandoned. and the main role for the state is to correct for market failures and try to include more and more people into market society. it's kind of neoliberalism with a more human face or what we might call progressive neoliberalism. tony blair pulled the labor party away from its socialist moors and on could it to the free market. what helped pain the new labor government has progressive with social values such as an outward embrace of multiculturalism, no matter what it was, background go back. all that follow with what is a great idea that by 2001 standing up for the country was also

being claimed by a resurgent for right now reorganized around the british national party to be n p the b and p 's rights for white slogan hood over, we struck home, we've got to do some tip to sign up for ourselves and they, the only paper telpast ha ha, cutting formed. it's based in the south of england to be in p looked to make gains for the north in the places left behind by the near liberal revolution. the fall right started to have demonstrations and places of concentration, most of the residents. i chose some places in these areas which had never recovered from the economic hits a fact. you are so far, bradford, but only older than which thus longstanding, must some command chase almost all of south asian origin and all. so this ongoing economic come certainty for the band pay the site, asked their tactic to provoke

a response from local muslim communities. is to say, i'm gonna walk past why your sister, your mother, your am to your granny live and i'm going to shout racist abuse. i kicks off a series of miles across the lawson overseas. much of the blame lies with right wing agitators who've been sparing up trouble in recent wakes. our youth will not generate any form of racism from different people. we are a mom, gave what was interpreted as a nazi salute was asian news because the very middle him, the run what happens is the police come on. what they do is they criminalize the muslim communities 1st huge numbers. the rest of young muslim men, david blanket, home secretary under tony blair,

have to make a decision about how those altercations were framed, what kind of more like her member that was framed as a racial danger, a racial danger of an echo. the 1980s. the natives are getting restless again. he said, of course the maniacs who were engaging in this and are whining about the sentences they've been given. he chose to put them under the kind of law which allowed people to have very long custodial cent jesus. and what happened as many, many of the young men who involved from back, but down for 101215 years we can see this incrementally building up, the more crime you commit, the tougher the sentence that the game changer, an and blanket face, and an echo a factor it's about britishness, about beth failure of petitions. the way that the government responded to this was not to focus on the fact that this was, this was,

this was the far right. race is causing problems in the stance the focus very much was on. well, no, they something wrong with wasn't communities at the 2 closed off that they're living parallel lives and not like the rest of us. couldn't possibly because of economic marginalization, where you see, particularly an ext, any bangladesh, children, and young people matching high unemployment issues, huge problems, it tells of racism and open diet. racism couldn't be any of those issues. it must be because there's the elliptic, they lived these parallel lives. they've been taught this terrible religion and then are integrating this martha rice in 2000. and one is really just that is textbook from the response of the uprising in a one. it really much is the same playbook. decades of racial discrimination in housing and education had kept south asian muslims, segregated from white people. it was a far cry from new labours, wishful celebration of britons, multiculturalism. workmen was still

dealing with the fallout from the northern riots when the september 11th attacks m u. s. and shock, the world, the blair government offered its full support for america, so called war on terror. follow however, in 2005 britain to came under attack, the london transport system was bombed by 4 british muslim men claiming retaliation against the war on terror. now, all muslims in britain were being asked if that faith was compatible with their being british around the same time, just as one established minority community was being painted as aliens. within a new group was being welcomed into the country. tony blair opened burton's doors to michael custom, eastern europe. as a european union grew larger and larger and the needs of capital grew more and more

demanding. in 2007 flag reluctantly stepped aside for golden brown. and a year later, the financial deregulation put in place during the liberal revolution of the 1980s helped bring about a credit crisis that almost broke the global economy. gordon brown was forced to bail out sailing british banks with british taxpayers money. brown's time as prime minister didn't last long, he was voted out in 2010 and replaced by new conservative prime minister david cameron. cameron set out to leave the country still reeling in the wake of a financial disaster. and a coalition government that had set it fights on one thing above everything else would use the nation's debt. which nearly pre orthodoxy is that you must push your overall levels of debt

down a fast to basic neo liberal policy in response to the global financial crisis. and so this is where we go directly from the idea that we must slash public spending in order to pay our debt down. so we'll start out a very dish portion impacts on the pool on as the minorities, because many people, minorities, are also poor. the government's austerity program had increased insecurity for many people whose lives were already financially insecure. and then in 2016 britain went to the polls to decide if it should stay in or leave the european union. let's make sure the june, the 24 is independence day in the for more than half of those who voted agreed and britain left the now that insecurity brought about by austerity was given as the

reason many white working class communities. those left was off by near liberal reforms, had voted for breakfast. the truth, however, was something else analysis carried out after the referendum revealed that li voters were more likely to be middle class financially stable. and living in the least ethnically diverse parts of the country. breaks it, it seem was driven less by economic insecurity and more by cultural fear. immigration really was of the hot breaking of course, banking furna of ethnic minorities on his own about race as well. i remember very clearly was i can very horsepower time to be blocked for it to be known. why? basically, there are

a lot of studies that show that off to the price it var in 2060 racist abuse against non white british people. completely shot ha, it's attacking those people. they think of foreign to britishness and british culture, american, the all renewable. that is the immigration is a fact of life in britain simply because people invited her from the commonwealth to fill the gap in the labor market. and then everything after the, all the policies were about keeping people out. and immigration was all about making it harder and harder for people, especially those from not white countries, the developing world to come over to brittany. right, right. but then you have this expansion of the you in 2004 and britain realizes it needs a bigger workforce to supply its growing economy. and it's more and happened. happy to open the doors and let people in particular from eastern europe. businesses like the idea of a cheaper labor force, right, because it was less money than it cost to pay british workers. and at the same time,

people are happy to have cheap labor. no one's going to complain when the house extensions don't cost as much money or their child care or their social care. it's a win win if you've got money in your, in, in that system or but even then resentment against these new immigrants was pastoring. it's not like it just kind of got left to the i saw it. there is a razor. and especially the fact that they were eastern european. and then at the same time, you'd had a lot of syrian refugees coming in from their civil war. that was happening, they're looking for asylum as well as other people were escaping instability in places like african this. do you remember that poster that nigel garage per out? remember that whole and t m a breaking point right. and what he's doing with that whole caravan of actually non european refugees is this idea of you're going to be swamped and he's playing in to exactly the same rhetoric that,

that you've been playing into the eighty's. the idea of nobody coming over is ever going to be quite british enough. and you know, we, we're talking about multiculturalism as though it's not an absolute fact of life in certain parts of this country. it was created by the state by inviting everybody here like this is now what britain it ah, the british people have voted to leave and there will must be respected. negotiation with the european union will need to begin under a new prime minister brittany withdrawal from the e. u. so david cameron exit as prime minister in his place came to reason made from a thing that wrecks it means breaks it. and we're going to make a success of it. they didn't. how government failed. and she too, fell on her, sued, making way for the conservatives. she breakfasted cheerleader, boris johnson. with his rallying battle cry that red dog johnson

would get breakfast done. but within weeks of leaving the european union, britain would be gripped by a fought deadly, a challenge unwelcome, but expected. the grown of r is his, the u. k. the outbreak of corona virus is now officially a pandemic. from this evening i must give the british people a very simple instruction. you must stay in march 2020, as covert 19 spread across the world, forest johnson placed britain in an emergency locked down. the government's overriding aim was to keep the corona virus contained to do that. it would need to rely on the state being fit for purpose. the initial response to the pandemic

fundamentally relied on est structure and infrastructure that had been already hollowed out. the state becomes increasingly dependent on 2 kinds of private site to companies. one is management consultancies. so they are often brought in to help the state to reorganize services to assist in, in, basically in the privatization process. and secondly, the state becomes relying on outsourcing companies. so companies that step forward and say will okay will bit to take on this part of the public services. the state becomes reliant on management consultancies to tell it what to do, to tell it how to govern and also becomes dependent on these private companies to actually run an offer, provide basic social services. but essentially ministers were pulling on leavers in white hole that weren't actually connected to anything crucial

parts of britain state apparatus had been turned over to private business and austerity cost to public health spending meant that in a national emergency, the system failed. when it was most needed, the state was unable to keep track of coven 19 allowing the virus to spread. meaning that more and more sick people were admitted to hospital, and the number of daily deaths began to thor ah! attention now turned to providing personal protective equipment, p, p to health workers, trying to keep the sick from dying. it transpired that the management consultancy de loyce had overseen the privatization of an a

chest supply chain, logistics part of the n. h. s. that supplies, things like personal protective equipment and all of these companies that had paid for these contracts and one of them all failed to deliver. so there was a massive general shortage of personal protective equipment. this gp group bought their own extra protective equipment weeks ago, including re usable plastic goggles. they know they're luckier than many of the rest of the country. that the government did maintain a stock pile of pp for panoramic disease. but even if i had been privatized, it been outsourced to a private company called moby unto their stock pile. only covered 2 weeks worth of use. there were sera, shortages of things like vices, masks, gowns, ventilators, and almost half of the stock had expired on the shelf. it was past, it's used by date. and this is why we had the terrible situation of health and

social care workers having to improvise with that snorkels, or even trash backs, and over a 126 m fatalities. among these workers has been linked to occupational exposure. here are the faces of 10 of those who have lost their lives. the 1st crouch of death of health workers from nearly all black and brown people. and it really hit home the extent to which when it comes to who will care for you when you're at risk or dying. i still overwhelmingly, racialized is always been this idea, but as a particular job you're supposed to do, i would. you can track back to the sixties and even earlier than that, i think about fruitless service. think about care work and public transport. the boss is on the trains like in the shops, right? he's someone is going to go just as douglas supermarket shows,

ethan minorities all over represented in those very low paid disrespected roles. the rise of the game economy, which forces people to go and work. otherwise they have no sick pay. no holiday pay, no support. twice she survive, covet 19 was laying bad. the dysfunction and discrimination coursing through the modern british state at its heart with a 20th century ideology that had stripped the system of its power and its postwar purpose. the roots of the failure of the state during the code 19 pandemic go back decades. and fundamentally, it's about the hollowing out of the state, the holling out, the state politically on the hollowing out of the state, institutionally, is the result of a whole program off,

revolutionizing all state and society around the market that has left the vast majority of also less secure and more vulnerable, one of the big consequences of neoliberalism has been ramp an inequality. levels of inequality not seen since the late 19th century. health is heavily determined by your socio economic status. so societal inequalities manifest themselves in differential rates of disease. if you're poor, you can die up to 10 years earlier than a wealthy person. every elf outcome is worse for minorities can pretty much every illness. to all the things was tie into what would make you be more later die from colvin. we were already more likely to have those is this kind of perfect storm where there's not

really any area of social life from education, from health, from criminal justice where we're not disappointedly impacted. how you are twice as likely to be on free school meals. if you have a black army and you are 5, i believe your black woman to die in childbirth, you are more likely to be in of credit. harrison, if you back at any benedetti, those are the real issues we should be talking about. but as you know, we're not there. we're not talking about them because of being distracted by these culture was an identity. ah, we should not support a demonstration that is in all probability going to end him deliberate and calculated bother calling that johnson government is really expending a lot of electrical energy trying to concoct to cultural around britishness around whiteness. and it's from echo of the fact, right?

concoction, the bringing together of racist fears, homophobic fairs, nationalist britishness is defined by who is not and you can see very is not the immigrant is not black people did not the muslims. ah, so the idea of whiteness, my identity is absolutely essential, not just to have you understand a nation, but actually to, to what the nation is. a matter of fact, feel fly, come a cost, race war writ large through a public health emergency, a phase of it. so i think going forward all going to have to think about how to we organize them, mobilize ourselves in a way. but when the emergencies come, we can survive

if you look at how many people from ethnic minority and black communities were effected disproportionately by the pandemic, how did that make you feel? i think that the most concerning paul was that if the light bulb switched in my brain to say ok, ethnic minority groups are more gravy affected, less do risk assessments. let's try and protect them even more. and then we, then we all right now, why did nick with our leaders? we need people to know how to nurse mary, di and why did she die? and why has a family be left to grief for these families? still haven't moved on. i've probably never will. these found, these will never see the normal again. mm. mm. the stage is said and it's time for a different approach. one that is going to challenge the way you think,

from international politics to the global pandemic, and everything in between. upfront with me, mark lamond hill on al jazeera, known for their innovation and ingenuity. the afghan girls robotics team has competed around the globe. our fall red part is about solving the communities and our community problem, and i'm so interested to in the future, to serve my people and help my people. although articulates about what they want for the future as the country transitions and the future is uncertain. it can be overwhelming the afghan girls robotics team, so they hope to continue their education here and cut the foundation. that future is in afghanistan. the taliban has promised they would respect women's rights within the dorms, islamic. but despite the assurances from us, can see the telephones gains as dangerous for women from fear that progress will be

in peril, all disappearing their hopes on reform and to work towards a post to future for women and girls. ah, a new diplomatic post and the fighting in a few p o. kenya's president isn't ivy soccer ball while the u. s. sex through states had to the region. ah, you're watching. i was. is there a life for my headquarters in del hi, daddy and also ahead? argentina's president is punished in mid term elections. they conservative opposition when control of congress for the 1st time in nearly 40 years. a call for nato to resolve the migrant crisis on napoleon beller. is border.
