let's talk about black and blue being black. and always well in a big house down at least that's what i've been told but we in remains as such because we simply forgot. the scene we've allowed them to rearrange our paint you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy we became defamed. that's what i call a lack of blackness or understanding the blues have been black. sheep the blues have been black should mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come is simple in its natural as be beck is simply tat the feelin blue is black and blue.

it's fair. i'm action or towns in this going underground five years to the day that wiki leaks founder julian assange has arbitrarily detained by the u.k. government in the ecuadorian embassy in london despite no charges against him coming up on the show we speak to shadow minister britain's first m.p. to win a seat at this month's general election about blairite backtracking and the coalition if chaos and we speak to a survivor of the holocaust in the makers of a new film destination unknown about auschwitz liberated by stalin more than seventy years ago was a good day to bury bad news read revel the mainstream media spin that you might have missed all the days going on the. but first bricks it negotiations begin today
10:31 am
and what is exactly the state of europe is mainstream commentators here in the u.k. use the strength of the euro currency as a barometer for wellbeing across the continent well the cradle of european democracy is arguably in ruins greece is sliding into recession with quarter with g.d.p. gone since the bankruptcy of lehman brothers and unemployment at twenty three percent this politician from europe's most powerful economy saw it coming a tile induce a politike we utterly condemn the austerity policy towards the greek government by the german federal government it's an unjustified intervention and you get the feeling after the break to tradition in england after the emergence of a great number of right wing populist parties and groups the european elite and especially the german federal government did not hear the last of the warning shots . and here's fronts even on french government broadcaster france twenty four globally covered by media as a model of pro technocratic globalist. goody it might be freezing it might

rain it might snow but at least i'm at home if so there are lots of people sleeping under bridges he'd be very grateful to be in my position. is one of the twelve million people in france who suffer fuel poverty no wonder some french politicians beg to differ from the mainstream narrative about europe in the e.u. media echo chamber the. society would clearly break under the austerity policy some on their knees poverty and unemployment are spreading all across europe without any hope of a solution if the current politicians are not challenged to exactly. whether british politicians negotiating bricks that they will be challenged in overwhelmingly europhile corporate media about whether the. german dream is
10:33 am
a nightmare or not we'll have to wait and see meanwhile new parties since polls began and seen a bigger surgeon votes than the u.k. labor party under german corbin the labor leader won a larger share of the vote than tony blair in twenty zero five defying the media the tory party and members of his own body that clung on to blair's new labor mindset joining me now is jeremy corbin's minister for industrial strategy science and innovation in the first m.p. to win a seat in the general election. year when he was ill or your constituency first just before we get all due labor stuff your reaction to it was to raise a new chief of staff of the former housing minister who was defeated in the general election who failed to deliver on a promise to review fire safety related building regulations. when he was housing minister well first can i say that obviously my thoughts are with the victim of the terrible fire and the first responders and emergency services and the firefighters
10:34 am
who did such fantastic work the news that paul did not over a number of years did not review the building of grayson's after what was a devastating fire thinkers in two thousand and nine also in london is a huge i think concern and a real question for him that he needs to answer an address obviously the conservatives and i sat opposite there many times in the chamber when they're saying that regulations are you know stopping people from going about their business and government interferes too much except her and they never were really responsive in a number of areas in terms of reviewing existing regulations to prove them such a clearly such a clearly life or death issue he needs to understand the conservative party needs to answer why they sat around for four years and and to what. then it's this
10:35 am
terrible terrible tragedy could have been avoided but from the moment the news came from kansans in the fire going street appeared to be saying schools is all over in the media saying well mustn't politicize the trudged i think so i do think that is one of the most politically charged things to say if people are asking questions and it democratic country if people are asking questions and of those in power and particularly in the tower block like that where you'll safety is dependent on these regulations if people are asking questions how is that politicizing it that is part of our political democracy and i really think it is they who undermine our democracy by saying that asking questions and holding people to account is somehow politicizing tragedy. when the biggest. it was not just simply that's what really important but i mean it's that first thing you know jeremy coburn and his team under labor movement and i run
10:36 am
a fantastic campaign whilst the tories the conservatives ran a very very bad campaign but what was very noticeable for me in newcastle from quite early on the manifesto launch is really emphasize that but even before that is that i have to you know suppose it's surprising number of first time voters and not only young people though you know visiting universities and doing registration drives on campus it was clear that young people would vote but also i had thirty forty year olds so often women in very paid job or with childcare responsibilities who were voting for the first time who you know that they hadn't been inspired or they hadn't been angry enough to vote before and in jeremy and the message that we were putting forward they found something both they found something inspiring to vote. for i think that's really important oh ironic the critics might say thanks to
10:37 am
all your work during goldman's work britain is in a worse state you know because we have a sort of coalition of chaos and the d u p is about to get some power of the whole united kingdom we're not in a worse situation. that's very just as if we are in a better situation because we have the hope of not having a conservative government for five years and those who haven't had a pay rise first you know just for seven years which is just about everybody those whose public services have been cut and a mind those dependent on child care which is an affordable those unable to live in a decent house those who security is depending on the piece and everyone who wants a good job as opposed to minimum wage is even a contract job they have hope now that that might happen before another five year term but at the same time you're absolutely right that the situation that to raise
10:38 am
a me and to team in trying to hang on to power the situation they for our country is unbelievable. and it's it was it's not just the labor party saying that we have . previous prime ministers most of her previous prime ministers also emphasizing that going into this sort of some sort of we don't you know group we deal with a t p the in certainty but also the threat to our well heart for for right so i bore sharon and now to p.t. q there's a storm there's a northwest instrumental but oh you will brazil will be good for keynesian expansionism when are you agree with. that on i think there's a real there's a real question there because we as a ne m.p. i will be really interested to see to what the d. p. what their price is and whether. the rest of the can she will sharing it and so for
10:39 am
example if part of that price is reductions on passenger airport passenger tax which is a real issue in the northeast as well as in northern ireland then unless we're sharing in that we're going to be disadvantaged and there's a whole raft of other areas investment and chance for success if i stay rich he ends for northern ireland but continues for the rest of the country because they haven't got the the will all the votes to get it through parliament against their own tories against their own party then not only will i be holding scalp but the people of the north east of the people of every region in this country or want to know something so i don't this is not simply a matter for northern ireland this is a matter for the whole country and abortion rights you know when one for women's portion right so impacted and this talk of a vote across the country on on on the terms of abortion then i think it's a real challenge it's a it is
10:40 am
a coalition of details here for the british to address race would be good for i mean what about important. bill for us which appears to be a condition for the year and so that raises the most of the ghoulish to really sort of the one of the equally important point if not more important which is the peace process overall so how can the government how can the british government be impartial in northern ireland which is one of the requirements of the peace process if it is formed by members of the u.p.a. and so if if if protestant marching or you know what it's whatever how can they be seen as being impartial if they are made up of members of the u.p.a. as well if they're dependent on the votes of members of the three i obviously we have a new absolute commitment in this what labor will be will be we're looking for an absolute need not to go backwards on the p.c. . process as well as all the other issues which are in play right now you know that
10:41 am
we can't go back when so not so so i hope the prime minister in fact i hope she will consider carefully we. we will be making sure she considers and also that her position on the grouping deal she's doing as a light shone upon it you already were responsible for the outsourcing of so much british industry. what do you think about. at the moment it's merging the capital routes was going to be a british airways one thousand four hundred jobs in midstream you go through. in my constituency actually a new class. because we in firstly i. agree that that our party was responding to was one thing under twenty blair and gordon brown there was i don't listen to yes there was a movement which i think was an industry which which was a mistake in
10:42 am
a way to take out everything that didn't we didn't respond to what they considered to be their main profit drivers i was a mistake i think british airways and especially after what happened you know a few weeks ago to be outsourcing all its i.t. which is fundamental to any company's success is what is wrong i think the time it went by labor to renationalise it's like emirates or singapore airlines or qatar no there's no commitment from germany corbin's labor to remain. no no i mean a lot of you don't think emirates are in singapore airlines are good and they're all out of the government in their balance sheets but i think it's more a question of what the kind of competition there is in the market we not monopolies what what failed to ticket was the rail service was trying to have competition in infrastructure the industries like which is where we saw that wasn't competition we see that in energy again because you can't. more than one energy network and so
10:43 am
you've got private sector monopolies which exploit consumers i'm not sure that you could describe. an industry is that even though i. find. that i want to thank you after the break as we approach the seventy sixth anniversary of the creation of a nazi ukraine before liberation by soviet troops we speak to a holocaust survivor and the makers of a new film destination unknown about the. bus from tourism a duping crowning country to private schools and big oil companies profiteering from the u.k. government in this week's news. about two of going out to. the saudi qatar spot continues with no end in sight and new sanctions on russia divide
10:44 am
nato allies also is the truth about ukraine finally coming to light last week the west on civil society. social environment. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is syria was exceptionally sick. no wonder it's confidential. says the years of industrial giants reap the benefit. caused by chemical production. as if these people aren't just experimental animals. the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of dioxin levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels ever in the. united
10:45 am
states for almost thirty years this very serious problem and not actually been addressed what will an investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. this. welcome back today people have grunfeld howard west london like those in bangladesh
10:46 am
is run applause a four years ago may still be picking up the pieces of what's left of their lives after a fire that even mainstream media haven't been able to conceal is political but as the smoke clears what stories have been obscured behind the post british election fallout ahead of today's bricks at the gauche ations has going underground senior producer pete bennett reporting on some of the week's buried news. in a week for the political porkies we sift through the mainstream media trough stories discarded quicker than to raise a maze close's eight some may say tricky terry crowded country with over a million pounds and it's who we call. you think that a few quid or at least a free school mail for. children now living in multi-dimensional poll could see especially in private schools like david cameron in college a set to save the billion pounds thanks to their charitable status maybe they took
10:47 am

or wounded by nature wars around the world but how can the rise in popularity in far right parties such as france as a national front of the party for freedom in the netherlands be looked at in the shadow of fascist atrocities in the second world war jeopardy editors have asked in back i met with claire ferguson on the robot the director and producer of the new film destination unknown as well as a holocaust survivor. meaning seventy three years ago today the world took the horrifying details of mass killing and torture in. concentration camp the auschwitz report was written by rudolph and alfred wetzler. to escape from hitler's largest killing factory in april one thousand nine hundred forty four top until then the inner workings of the death count were closely guarded secret document revealed the geography and scale of mass murder being carried out. now the
10:51 am
story of those who suffered and for to get naziism has been documented in the film destination unknown filmed over fourteen years it features interviews with holocaust survivors including partisan fighters battling the nazis with russian forces i spoke to the film's director clare ferguson. as well as holocaust survivor at. the death watches the horrors of three of hitler's death camps i wanted a technical light for the business news gathering at the time and i couldn't get hold of the company to be a couple of weeks and they were celebrating the new year. obviously i knew when to pick when i eventually got hold of the company who said we would close close for the jewish holiday. and within minutes scott talking about the holocaust. and then again my father was in book eleven he said this was marcus lee

10:53 am
ferguson wanted was with the film is how you can make a life after such pain. what i think the film does do is he asked the question in a very powerful way and i think what the film does this is a film that i mean it's about empathy and i think if you have empathy. it's about feeling so i'm not saying we can never answer that question but i think it's something that the film addresses in a very very powerful way through the memories of the survivors and through the living memories of the survivors because this is the last chance we'll ever be able to do that. to have a life living memory before it goes into history books. i also added mossberg how important films like these are in preserving the stories of the holocaust. to me. this is my life. i. guess
