7:07 am
thousand pounds per year so you've got frontline jobs that carry risks to your life that are people protecting the safety of british citizens that are being paid less than somebody who's serving coffee to politicians one of the police federation representatives took to twitter to ask where they could apply for such a nice restart job in parliament because it's obviously a lot safer and it's paying more than some of the frontline police offices but i spoke to the former editor of the police tribute to find out what the morale all is like among the police officers amidst these revelations well morale is already rock bottom amongst police officers and i knew i was because of the attacks on their pay and conditions their pensions and then they find out as you say the politicians who could like the rest of us make coffee for themselves and let's not let's remember that the coffee they have will be heavily subsidized by us the tax payers
7:08 am
a lot of people's wages being either frozen or slashed just like the police officer says we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to find out whether people in london think that someone be so coffee two politicians should be making more money than a front line police officer let's take a look in my coffee twenty grand commons where you are sorry i did so i'll just get this thing washed over said coffee give me the most is. you know probably no so searching tonight again tonight is basically a kitchen the growing because they're just being ridiculous and advertising a party and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so that shows just how out of touch the politicians are with the problems of ordinary brits and of course a lot of critics saying that with the austerity measures we by saying for a lot of people in the u.k. and politicians have made do with a capsule of boiling water and some instant coffee. well just ahead for you this hour two headed to celebrate and historic budget deal you shame to come brussels

a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only. if you leaders may be popping the champagne corks to celebrate our historic budget deal with outlooks not here p. and politicians will spoil the party. have the final say on whether the first ever cut to the union spending goes through and could eventually block it putting a secret vote on the budget that was seen as a revolt against you leaders economist james medway says the budget may well be sunk. constitutionally they're well within their rights to reject the thing and
7:11 am
send it back and have another go at writing this now whether they actually do that will probably depend on the fine print in the budget or already present parliament to said he would be able to support the steel and the head of one of the major groups in the parliament the socialist group said that they were likely to support it so it could be a rocky ride i think this budget over the next few months cameron's right to talk about this being like a reduction in a credit card limits and of course you can have your credit card limit reduced and still spend carry on spending more money now that's almost certainly what's going to happen to britain over the next few years the amounts that britain is expected to pay into the main e.u. fund will increase as a result of increased payments to the new member countries so he's going to pretend that this will show how britain can still be a force in europe how we can push the rest of europe around discourses over the fact of course that he would have got anywhere in this without the support of the angle of merkel in particular so he can he can try to push that line the you know
7:12 am
he knows what he's doing to europe and that we don't need to go so far as to step out of the european union but i wouldn't see the more euro skeptic members of his own party being particularly impressed by any of this they would cameron maybe claiming victory in brussels but domestically one issue is refusing to go away investigation into rate fixing at banks in britain is expanding revelations over just how widespread the practice was revelations that have left artie's max keiser exasperated. i'm going to avoid that c. word for today just just for right i mean if i thought the t. word is being prosecuted in this country or america i would imagine if i thought that our drone sent up a stink frank jenkins over at barclay's bank and exploded innocent passengers splattered on the wall i thought that would have any effect if i thought the government would give a flying shit about their own population i would imagine that the word but i don't know because they don't. return

7:14 am
a massive discrediting of the way in which they have operated i think there are signs that this could easily disintegrate into some kind of civil war only hopefully it won't happen and we remain to watch to see how the popular movements organize to prevent this one of those frightening thing is the amount of external support for example by the qatari government of the right wing fundamentalists and it remains to be seen whether look at the present government will take any action against these terrorist groups. and this bahrain approaches the second anniversary of the beginning of the anti beijing protests the government and the opposition have finally agreed to resume dialogue the chances for ending political deadlock in the gulf kingdom a slim the opposition clearly not trusting authorities following months of crackdowns and persecution. looks into how dissent is being gathered in a country. if you look through any pro-government newspaper in bahrain you did an
7:15 am
impression that the government has nothing to hide the news of an uprising of the opposition is dominating the front page and if you look through it you'll see other stories about the political discourse in the country the country's information minister insists bahrain has no problems with people speaking out what it is that if in freedom of expression of our english very high because it is guaranteed by the constitution moreover there is a law to be issued soon that further guarantees yes we have a problem related to banning so much zines but that's to protect bahrain from six year in ethnic problems in violence and not for any other reason. but this is what happened when we tried several opposition websites having looked through these pages later we did not notice any extremist overtones and so you see from bahrain center for human rights believes the government is deliberately attempting to silence views different to its own behind center for human rights

7:19 am
a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to award them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys have delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r. between one hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the route to went from north america osland and the u.k. it's may look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the conway's
7:20 am
were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and when humans avoided the problem the convoys often filled victim to the horrendous storms in the icy cold waters of the arctic that was some seventy years ago and many of the veterans feel they may not want to live to see the day the u.k. very wards them with its old version of the medal and for some there is a feeling of bitterness feeling they're being refused a medal of of the truly deserved war tike for not just from the ship might polish them. to may. also we were. made to do so we went to do job. nothing that. was on voice. another. account of her job you know mother ship might know there were sick of metal has been created to reward those fighting at sea for bravery

it's one of the highest military decoration in russia its importance as such but it has been retained from the soviet union era because of the magnitude of feeds it was awarded for so there are a few zal to let a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of modern history makes veterans wonder what's behind the reason if it had been america go over this medal which are not served on the american i mean when i was in shanghai in china cities but. let me tell you they were to offer me a medal what would be the their written the government's response to the. for their part so many british veterans such as john seem open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia. yes there throughout their possession and over the few years i've got left there for a few years. and it down to meet killed me grant you
