laura smith discusses up britain's domestic and foreign policy with a rather controversial. he alternately sheds light on agendas debated behind closed doors this is art. today i mean the parliamentary office of george galloway and pe who around three months ago one surprise election victory in his constituency of bradford west george galloway thanks very much for talking to us today now your election your victory was a surprise to many possibly not to you what does it take to break a monopoly of these three ruling parties to win an election in british politics it's an everest of a challenge because first of all the big parties command almost all of the media attention and the media is the medium through which most people get their political

ideas and news and secondly because you usually lock a critical credibility factor people are doubtful that they would be doing other than throwing their vote away by voting for a candidate who may be closer to their cup of tea but are unlikely to win it and therefore the voters in a way taking a self-denying ordinance and the choosing of the m.p. but if you have this critical mass of. derision i mean i don't think that's too strong a word the derision felt in the country against the three mainstream parties often see if backside could have three cheeks these three parties are those three. the three mainstream parties are such that you couldn't slip a cigarette paper between them they all accept that austerity is the medicine some

quibble about the doors and the the timetable of the taking of the medicine but they all accept that the mass of the people must pay the price for the crimes and the mistakes. of rich and powerful people secondly all of them support britain's role in going around the world invading other people's countries occupying them and big spending billions in some cases hundreds of billions of hard earned money that the people have sweated for. on weapons and war. and so if you can come along and say we don't believe the ordinary people should pay the price for this crisis and we don't believe britain should be occupying other people's countries first in the ranks of those pushing for a new invasion a new occupation as mr hague is doing over syria for example at the moment we just

reject that we are paradigm is completely different and it's like in the wonderful film dead poets society when the teacher invites the children to stand on the desk and see how different everything looks once you get people standing up on those desks they can see that actually the world looks very different from how do you think that there's a wider disconnect between politics and the electorate the people the people hold the mainstream politicians in contempt they know that the mainstream politicians hundreds of them many hundreds of them almost all of them. are looting the people's pockets in parliamentary expenses which was a huge scandal. we have actually a systemic failure in britain the media is on trial the bankers are on trial the politicians have been put on trial and found guilty long ago so. i who was

untouched by the expenses scandal didn't claim any expenses at all. and who. has a track record of attacking the mogul billionaire mogul ownership of the media and is seen as an anti political voice in the sense of being anti the political system. bingo we won we won the jackpot and you've said in the past that muslims like you because you protect them from islam of faith yet we recently had the director of m i five say that al qaeda is using arab spring nations to recruit terrorists and potentially target britain is there a point to islamophobia therefore to people have other people justified in their fear of islam if you know like any for it is irrational exaggerated and paranoid but that's not to see the extremism does not exist of course it exists and

exists in britain and it gets more and more. oxygen. as a result of the policies that the british government follows you can't make endless war against muslims and muslim countries abroad and expect to have no resonance here at home but actually we are the antidote to islamist extremism because we say to the young muslims you are right to be angry but be angry with others who are not muslims in democratic politics so that you can affect change rather than blowing yourself and other people are in these kind of terrible acts of self immolation that we saw on seven seven five years ago here almost to the day. the truth is al qaeda exists it was invented by the countries no most concerned about it it was invented on the principle bankrupt moral principle that my

enemy's enemy is my friend the soviet union was the enemy of the west so they gave weapons and money and credibility to an islamist fanatic formation and they didn't read the novel frankenstein to the end if they had they would have known that when you make a monster it ultimately breaks free of your control so there's no one to blame but themselves for this phenomena. of islamist extremism it comes out of a swamp of hatred saun by western countries and their policies towards the muslim countries therefore the best way to solve this problem is to drain the swamp of hatred and bitterness by doing the reverse of what we did to fill it and there is a rise in islamist political parties there isn't that particularly in arab spring nations in the middle east and north africa what challenges do you think that poses for syria at the moment will a very large number of people in syria whether a majority or not i don't know are terrified of the prospects of victory for

the syrian rebels. because there's a substantial christian population in syria for example which has the most or not the position of any christian group anywhere in the middle east. putting israel by the way. there are. minority islamic sects which are substantial a number but a minority in the state as a whole there are different ethnic groups just people for example are terrified of the victory of a jihadist extremist islamic victory so that's undoubtedly one of the reasons why the syrian government is still holding on in the teeth of what is a thorough going and massive international conspiracy against them not because they're a dictatorship because the west likes dictatorships in the arab world saudi arabia

is the grimmest dictatorship of them all and is the best friend of the west not because it's one family rule because of course all these are dictatorships are one family rule in saudi arabia the families even given its name to the country even kim jong il didn't do that so it's not because of dislike of dictatorship no it's because the syrian regime refuses to follow western orders and has always refused to follow western orders that's why they want to bring them down they're all mixed signals they want the thermostat he seems to suggest that he will step down that he won't what do you think will happen and as far as i know he has no intention of stepping down there are people who fly kites in the western media russia's about to change its position china is about to change its position ourselves about to go on a plane this is i think largely descent formation but undoubtedly the syrian regime has a massive problem it has democratic deficit in its country it is

a dictatorship the era of dictatorship must be coming to an end in the arab world and should come to an end should have long ago come to an end but there are many dictatorships in the arab world who are not being targeted by this international conspiracy indeed are a vital. important part of the conspiracy mrs clinton declared the friends of democratic syria but within three days even she had realized the resume billeted of that moniker because its core included saudi arabia and qatar were there is no democracy of any kind whatsoever you mention these ethnic groups that are just fling for position in syria do you predict a full scale slide into civil war and if so do you think that person will be gunning to get involved well i think there already is a civil war in syria the massacres that are taking place are almost entirely demarcated by sectarian divisions. the.

if you like the dichotomy that exists in the country it's not just between those who are with the regime or against the regime though that exists between different ethnic and confessional groups and that's a powder keg if ever you want to find one that's why i say to i said last night to a british foreign office minister what are you doing in syria have you any idea of the virtual nuclear explosion in critical area that you are helping to bring about did you learn nothing from afghanistan did you learn nothing from flying osama bin laden to afghanistan to fight the red army. this is even more dangerous because it has course front with israel it's on the shores of the mediterranean so close to europe itself and

it is part of if you wanted to draw out that way an arc involving iran iraq with its big shia majority. the syrian. government and the people who support and of course the. national resistance movement in lebanon hezbollah that's a very powerful arc with a lot of firepower and one of the characteristics of she is a which the foreign office minister that i talked to last night appeared oblivious to was that shiites are quite ready to fight to the death and what role do you think iran should play in bringing peace to syria well iran is a critical component in the region as a whole it's critical in iraq it could end in an afternoon the all remaining traces of western occupation of iraq in an afternoon if they give the

want to do so and of course you cannot talk about the future of the region without bringing iran into it and russia and coffee alone are both correct in saying that iran is indispensable in any solution to this the only possible solution is the coffee and blood which is supported by everybody in the world except the people whose plan it ostensibly is the united nations is supporting it as the rope supports the hanging man the arab league appointed coffee other than the first place is busily supplying weapons to the rebels to do it but any sensible person in the world wants the plan to succeed and the plan is to buy dialogue and transition and dictatorship in syria without having to spill an ocean of blood in order to do it and destabilize the region and therefore the world i thank you very

for some russian women are stepping into the women's boxing i will make the run and russia will have a world champion and two european champions going for gold in london we caught up with them before they left. fabio capello's imminent appointment as the russian football manager. hello there welcome to the sports and these are the headlines caplets former england boss fabio capello says taking the russia job will be a wonderful adventure. park obscene queens russia's women prepared to make history at the limpid games in london. and no showing moscow heavyweight champ a tally klitschko talked of his next fight in the russian capital as his opponent among those a while. but first former england football manager fabio capello has talked in

glowing terms about taking charge of the russian national team saying it would be a wonderful adventure he's heading to moscow to sign a two year deal worth up to twenty four million dollars with a possible two year extension the russian football union named him his dick up the car successor on monday and claimed they now only need to agree some final details with their man capello is expected to appoint four fellow italians and two russians in his coaching staff and would take charge in time for russia's friendly against ivory coast next month before world cup qualifiers against northern ireland and israel in september. well capello's achievements in management have seen him qualify england for the world cup in twenty ten and this summer's european championships but his biggest achievements have come a club level willing to league titles with three hundred and seven it's hardly titles eventis i'm a land we also won the champions league under here. now

thousands of athletes are starting to arrive in london for the lympics and some will make history just by turning up boxing is making its debut at the games in russia sees it as a golden chance to boost its medals tally with more is robert the down yet. they've already made history with the women's boxing set to make its olympic debut london these are the three russian women who have fought for their right to represent the country on the biggest stage of all. the fear to go over holder of two world and european gold medals as proof term a term again she has what it takes although an olympic medal in the sixty kills category would top all her previous achievements the sample to go on to be faster than your opponent to reach your mind and neutralize her to be virtually untouched a ball in the ring that's the greatest feeling you can experience in the sport you can't always be in such but when you're richard that's what i enjoy most in boxing

kelty often turns out to be the key factor of big wins and dramatic fails russia's hope in the heaviest olympic class under seventy five years adorable are listed as paramount. mental training this is where i believe i can improve on a psychology plays an essential role in any preparation even my coaches now and then say to me come on you're the european champion i still have to gain some confidence i need to step in the ring cool is all it is for me even when i make some technical mistakes it's all down to mentality it's all in here with a woman by the way to do battle in the olympic boxing ring you know surveil ever expects london quite well to be simply a cold room you know that i think women are driven by anger in the ring more often than men competitive anger women's boxing is also more emotional sometimes guys from the russian man steam say hey you're emotionally overwhelmed you should calm down but of course that voice is great but getting firsthand experience is crucial

but these women at the top is made real when they get in the same room with men we use them it was more team has been training with men for quite a long time three times a week it's common practice for us especially you have big events and every weapons to the girls even. are with man and at first the guys didn't take it seriously but after a while it became very real and it's really paid off that train sure to help win the battle for olympic glory it's up but regardless of reaching the podium or not having already secured their birth in boxing history is something that can never be taken away. party. whose goals are on their way to london although russia's sailing team here were among the first athletes to make it to the british capital they arrived at heathrow yesterday and what was described as the busiest day in the airport's history no major holdups were reported however it did not go smoothly for everyone

a bus driver got lost while taking american athletes to be lympics religion east london a journey along specially designated lanes should have taken an hour but near a four according to the u.s. team has prompted an apology from the mayor of london and the head of london transport or they to stress it was an isolated incident. there were many many thousands of bus draws in london the twenty four thousand of them running all bus service were through four thousand coming to london from all over the country to run services for one twenty two world it wouldn't surprise me that one of them got lost it would surprise me for the cost for us or believe it's a great picture as roshan belongs to all of the toronto looking offices. my message is obviously people being inconvenienced then clearly we're sorry for it but you know hundreds of buses have gone through. very very short order gotten. to the park and athletes are forming fantastic facilities that. not all athletes are based at

the limpid village at the moment astride the swimmers for example are currently at a training camp in the north of england and have been talking up their chances of success even though they got twice as few goals as the usa at the last olympics the pool is still their main source of medals these all jones will be competing at her fourth gangs and more defend to win pick titles while freestyle sensation james magnussen is making his an impact debut he will feature in the fifty one hundred four by one hundred meters and he's confident of giving others a run for their money that's one of the reasons why i chose one hundred freestyle. becoming so that's the event that everyone wants to see in a room. that's one of the reasons. it's been a long time coming from history and to win that event not. just about time you know that but we did well out of the poll track and field events will take place at the main olympic stadium in london but its future after the limp exam paralympics is

still unclear the venue called the ball is able to sate eighty thousand spectators the london legacy development corporation who are tasked with finding a future owner for the venue aiming for a decision by next october what is known though is that the stadium will host the two thousand and seventeen world athletics championships it seems quite likely today that the stadium will remain as an eighty thousand seat stadium probably with multiple uses. obviously used for a thirty exhibit also useful for probably concerts as well. away from the lympics and heavyweight boxing champion vitaly klitschko has been in moscow to talk up his next bad he takes on manuel char in the russian capital temba however the pair didn't come face to face in a press conference to promote their w.b.c. title fight as the syrian born german plane these are problems for his absence char is twenty seven years old and beaten in twenty one bags klitschko will turn forty

one on thursday and could soon retire to become a politician but the ukrainian does boast a formidable record of fourteen knockout wins and just two defeats in forty six fights and says char should take care of his teeth when they come to play. char compared me with a piece of meat and said he's a young lion that has been let out of the cage but you must have forgotten monique . and my fish can meet you steve and he can lose some of them so he should pay attention to me. golfers have found out who they will be playing with at this week's open championship tiger woods has been drawn with england's justin rose for the fourth time the major the former world number one was one of the first to arrive at the royal lytham course in lancashire and will also play alongside spain's sergio garcia defending champion down class forty off alongside ernie els and zach johnson who won the john deere classic last weekend while some of the players took time out to watch

a documentary at the golf course on monday night it was called outside the ropes but with the rough so brutal at royal lytham most play say they will be trying their best to stay on the fairway. it's tough it's very narrow very very very. green from what i can remember in the past the forecast that we're we've been given this week is going to be with a little bit of rain and so it's going to be a very very stern test is. really crucial for words here. which is a rocky road which is normally it's a very brutal. you know you've got to keep your ball grounded keep going to get on line and now it is a rest day on the tour de france and frenchman petit will feel it is well and after winning stage fifteen the former national champion got himself into a breakaway early on and then vaulted from that along with american christian van de velde in the sprint finish britain's bradley wiggins came home in the main group of riders to keep the lead yellow jersey he has

a two minute lead over contact sky team mate christopher in italian can change in the valleys a few seconds behind him and while defending champion del evans is for three minutes and nineteen seconds down for two more stages in the mountains before the race finishes in paris on sunday. and finally roger federer has broken yet another tennis record yes with smart holding the world number one spot for none precedented two hundred eighty seven weeks and counting this is one more than the previous mark set by american pink sampras. stacey rowe federal return to the top of the a.t.p. rankings off the ceiling a full time seventh time this month and he has also emerged as the favorite to claim his maiden singles gold at the london olympics. but. because the weather coming up next.
