words our debt as a proportion of our g.d.p. was double what it is now then we build millions of houses schools hospitals well first recognizing actually economically these cuts will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who then pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think make things worse you've said that the government cuts just tack on working people but how do you think this strikes pacing will affect the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that hasn't happened in this country for decades it's the start not the finish to the government is if they try to ignore next week will come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realize that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. i'm not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that

pressure ultimately can force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at the moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would you say. i don't think they should reduce i'm quite clear that retirement of dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the fifth richest country in the world and so my view is public sector pensions and all pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the bottom where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a rising the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement could be done in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years in the tax gap where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year would actually mean. these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you

mentioned the private sector and private sector workers say that you the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing while the opinion polls seem to tell us already a majority of people actually believe the public sector pensions are important don't arrive at the right level or should even be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are the cause of people's problem my master's to private sector workers because they're being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all levels up not down to the worst what. would you accept in terms of pension reform i personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they're costing less because that's not about pensions it's about raising taxes

to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer and i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally accept they have to talk about those things and i believe the industrial action is going to take place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be poetically very powerful we've already seen a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people three months ago transform the political mood in this country. now. actually how exactly do you think

that change the political is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small. for example. they understood they were part of a much much wider problem and i think that's giving us confidence to move from a march to now for unions balloting members or members voting overwhelmingly for a strike so it's clearly transforming not just people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before strikes in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to the crisis that we're seeing in the main it was called certainly a. reckless financial services sector do you think there is political will now to create a more responsible banking community. or i would always question whether the exists when the. twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who

have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with. all the ego clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe that there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused but the banking sector should pay for the problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet the holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million trousering millions more in bonuses to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis began britain has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently they. said that he needed more money to sustain these campaigns in libya. do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and to enjoy another war. consistency

quite clearly we have been told that. everything that we hold to be slashed and yet we can still talk about. i'm fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya all wrong they misjudged what people claim they are about and we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well as at the same time resources could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number of. the country's biggest you need it stressing this wave of industrial action that. are you prepared to join us we want more and more people to be involved because we want to be on strike because we want the government to set up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of you know i want to work very closely with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people protest the protest is possible because it's

designed to get the government to change their minds thank you very much. discover it. communicate with. and become free. nature can give you.

parts of the life on the. house the story. all is calm and quiet it looks like paradise on earth but seems like these are rather an exception for whitewater. grueling rapids and plunge waterfalls are what these adrenaline junkies are after and the best of them all the young and very new zealanders some subtle has been looking for the ultimate challenge the twenty two he's the reigning extreme car i can roll champion and he set out on a global journey to find the toughest waterway the reason the so-called river god the world renowned niagara falls could spell certain death for so sense quest began in siberia russia were just faced with huge amounts of water and you're looking down these rivers in your face or the wall of water you can't even see where you're going you can't see any of your teammates because you're down in the hollow and it's just like pedaling against god's hand you know it's just out there trying to take it down and you just got to be strong and get through it not to want to settle

for anything in between sam and coach arguably the most modern river in russia called the bush house filled with obstacles it has a dark history of claim in people's lives but luckily for sam go in down the bosh talismans only a life changing experience a pinnacle moment for for the whole expression you're looking down at the river and all of these emotions come up from within and you're just thinking about friends that you'd lost in the river and what's really important to you in life you know and at that stage you just see life and pure clarity with all the treacherous terms negotiated in the. sand moved on to iceland geysers are the first thing that may pop into mind but after these three waterfalls should be the other one some of them higher than an eight story building so free falling off them and heating the water again is not dissimilar to a car crash and survive in is what gives these men this. hold off to thrills once
