put in the in the stairwell for when those caught fire it was a death threat and nobody could escape also the fact that ten million dollars spent on cosmetic changes to the outside of the building to make it look that's all for rich residents who live nearby and it was that external cloud which caused the fire to spread so quickly and take so many lives so these protesters very angry at the time and but this is going to be a transformative point in the history of this country judging by the response of members of the public will be walking by and in their cars beeping and supports that is a very popular course this horrible story coming so soon on the back of the election it says everything that's wrong about our society this is one of the richest countries in the world one of the richest places in the world this bar in london as well and but this is an area where the poor people live and their lives essentially have been sold up the river based on this crazy ideology of deregulation because

no one and no community is left behind. no one and no community is left been open and no community should ever be left behind. some people say the e.u. does not make us more secure because it does not allow us to control what up. but that is not true we want our borders back we want our country a new role for ourselves in the world it's a strong country with control over our borders. look at the facts the potential risk to jobs for our economy if we were to leave the european union the framework of the single market i would say is a beginning but you must be optimistic about what i am proposing cannot mean
11:07 am
membership of the single market. what has been an absolute disaster fall the ruling conservative party they ran a dreadful campaign they didn't offer anything attractive to people they wanted to come across and vote for them and they announce policies that was very upsetting to their core support and they now have a goal of a working majority they're being obliged to form a relationship with a minor party in order to carry through their program and frankly the government looks rather unstable. a local official in afghanistan has told me that u.s.
11:08 am
forces killed three civilians including two children on monday. it illegitimate it was truth open floor as a result they killed a father and his two sons the shooting reportedly happened after a u.s. military vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb pentagon officials have still not confirmed reports all those civilian deaths. but a statement from the u.s. mission in afghanistan did say however that the troops had opened fire in self-defense radagast he has been speaking to witnesses and the victims' relatives . they're too young yet to fully understand what has happened or grasp the depth of their loss all they know is that their world has been shattered and wrenched upside down i heard you say this is my younger brother for a dollar he was killed by u.s.
11:09 am
troops this is my brother surefire rules who killed and this is my father he was killed as well they haven't yet learned to read or write but life has taught them early to hate you is nothing. i want the government to avenge my father and kill his killers when my father and my brothers were killed everyone was sat at home my mother cries every day. it all began when a u.s. military patrol hit a roadside bomb by all appearances they panicked when the explosion happened i was near my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew by my face i ran and hid and came out only a few hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone. this version is backed in the police report we were shown it says zero ghoul and his sons were at the shop two hundred meters from the scene they were
11:10 am
taken for terrorists and torn apart by gunfire it was terrible what the americans did to them i couldn't even recognize their bodies. zero ghoul left behind twelve children six boys and six girls from now on their lives will be about survival clothing and feeding a dozen youngsters will be hard but for now it's anger that fuels them they killed them in a horrific way. we want to bring them to court why should american troops be allowed to kill people in this cruel way the u.s. stresses it takes every civilian life seriously and promises to investigate every casualty of these investigations often end with only apologies and for this family that's not enough they want americans out i don't want
11:11 am
them here because they kill civilians we're tired of american soldiers there are explosions and they're killing the americans not helping us they're killing us we don't need them in afghanistan that is a refutation the coalition has built over more than a decade sixteen years of war and bloodshed atrocities and excuses and there's no end in sight it's no secret that life in afghanistan is harsh but for zero goals surviving children the next few years ago and to be tough indeed that though isn't where the trouble ends ten years down the line when they've grown up you think they're going to support the afghan government and the people who murdered their father or the taliban and their promise of vengeance more of.
