responsibility for doing what we can to put things right the deadliest fire in britain for more than one hundred years broke out last wednesday and was only ports are more than twenty four hours later the death toll currently stands at least seventy nine people to reason my own government has been widely criticized for not doing enough to huge crowds gathered in central london earlier to mourning her resignation laura smith has been speaking to the protesters. the march before the day of rage has arrived at its destination on the houses of parliament which you can see just over my left shoulder it's a right here there are speeches and a lot of shouting and a lot of meetings running very high the organizers that at the beginning of the day that there was to bring down the government and to shut down london well they've done an excellent job of shutting down london for the rest of that march which was around ten meters long all the way. down to. the
2:03 pm
organizing they had done it the original civil rights marches. in the tradition of the civil rights movements like it's almost a six mile walk in blazing heat but we feel like it has to be done that this government can no longer have authority over people's lives because they always will put profit before people always it's it's what they've done and we're now. prepared to allow that to continue it's about a wider question it's about what grenfell tower represents in the it's about it's about violence and murder that is being perpetrated against poor working class black an asian immigrant migrant communities in this country face march is in reaction to brucellosis terrorists and these people see them and unseen immigrant attacks and of course the handling of the grunfeld howard disaster in which at
2:04 pm
least seventy nine people are known to have been to death although the death toll is expected to rise i was approached earlier by a quiet man who handed me a leaflet with a picture of the man on it he's that the man was his friend he had lived in granville tower he wasn't a protester he just wanted to know whether his friend was dead or alive and no information was coming and not so common theme on this march today people have been saying that they don't know how many people were living in grenfell it's how a lot of them were possibly undocumented immigrants and so we possibly will never know how many people were killed in that fire there has been some movement from inside parliament of course today was the day of the queen's speech to the queen reopens parliament today and set out the agenda for the government and to reason may apologize for the off to mark the tragedy let's say what will happen they do you write that terrible if she comes out here and says that you're maybe. we need to start he's
2:05 pm
a referee anything how we can start working on it there's those people suffering those young kids i'm very proud they got to know how it is too late. and you know. when they lie and say little did i miss my life when they. live it says. i make choices but it was a little thing after this massacre that i could just by people and everyone's going to shout serious say you know this is mean justice and lois needs to be trying. why is that house ok you know why with this. reason. we all introduce. people in the house of parliament. part to play well we discussed the issue with lindsey german from the stop the war coalition she believes the prime minister's apology will do little to change the situation but i think it also symbolizes the longer which is now very free to voice it in terms of inequality of the false majority of people here do not benefit from the wealth
2:06 pm
which is invested here whether or not free flights which are staying. where we have people homeless on the streets in every locality this is exactly the kind of insensitivity which people fear from the tories and their right kensington and chelsea council is a majority tory council is the extremely rich area and they act on behalf of the rich and not on behalf of four who make up a substantial part of their power and i'm afraid to reserve my has lost all credibility after the election i don't think it is very long most people think she is only here because the different factions in the tory party deciding where now to get rid of her she has no credibility the have to pre-pay policy changes in this country and there's no real sign that the tories understand that in which case they should really get out of the why and let labor try to form a government. russia's defense minister has had two encounters with nato jets in
2:07 pm
just one day while flying over the neutral waters of the baltic sea the first happened while surrogate sugar was flying to the russian city of kaliningrad this video was filmed from his plane by journalists you can see a nato f. sixteen jet flying just meters from the winter russian su twenty seven and squeezed between them to ward off the fighter artie's medina questionable has all the details as you have just seen from the video a need or sixty. it has tried to approach of the russian defense the ministers plane flying about the neutral waters of the baltic sea now russian ass u. twenty seven which was the scoring of the minister's aircraft got on its way and title its wings apparently showing that it is armed and right after the ads of the sixteen flew away now the minister was on route to the russian city of kaliningrad the baltic sea for a scheduled working meeting and this incident was first reported by jordan allies
2:08 pm
who were on board of the aircraft sedan and suchlike apparently become more frequent lately just this a monday a u.s. spy a plane flying toward the russian border made a provocative turn toward a baltic fleet as you twenty seven which had been scrambled for an interception mission and encounters of such sword also took place right at the beginning of this june. claims the russian defense minister was on board the plane however when surrogates showed it was heading back to the jets followed him again this time without approaching his own craft and while nato planes it's a standard procedure they encounter comes at a sensitive time in russia u.s. relations discuss this let's cross a lot of people in there it's a. story of dollars thanks for joining us on good to have you with us as usual. procedure that's the nature of planes wow and over the baltic sea what do you. well
2:09 pm
it's rather unfortunate because only weeks ago there was great cooperation between russia and the united states and the other. coalition forces trying to get rid of this menace of terrorism in the middle east and this is over that would be actually a really great new era and now even we have seen after the unwise american action of shooting action in a plane we have seen this trillions stopped even their aircraft flying. and now we have seen this i mean when it really has to be neutral between all of this but makes you wonder the politics he and the russia is a country overlooking the baltics the whole four of them from america how would actually the americans would react if say for example the chinese have actually flew with military jets. yes maybe and sort of
2:10 pm
a lot of bugs fewer miles of the american coast with an american aircraft getting an american official you know they probably would declare war i mean this is the whole thing that actually with the public opinion against the america and we actually need every day out much much bigger problems in the world actually than this kind of sort of. school playground bully. indeed. interesting example you mentioned of the situation was reversed of course but i mean do you think the the jets the nato jets perhaps are trying to excuse me some sort of message here because they followed the minister on the way home as well they must have known surely that they were the russian defense minister was on board is this just saber rattling as usual do you think or is a something more behind this whether it's quite difficult to understand actually this is of erratic behavior i mean. actually the americans want to continue to say
2:11 pm
well we are the policemen of the world and we have every right to throw in every little food parts and street and avenue and street corner worldwide or it's some kind of attention seeking mass age because if you recall in russia and did the corporation called the nation over syria because of the with the americans of your previous item mention of the way the americans have actually had what probably seeing people think is hidden as in dead because you are forces going to get rid of islamic see them fighting them and then you get the americans out backing them so when the russian actually and this corporation it is actually a massive ship that we didn't know i actually start a corporation again but again it should be sort of a bit more forward or at least diplomatic channel rather than this what you correctly said might appear to be easier to read even if they didn't intend it to
2:12 pm
be a separate thing all right that's accommodated and historian idle dawlish thanks for your insight they are not international thank you. look here area of contention of course has been syria and russia's foreign minister says he is currently waiting for an explanation from washington after a syrian military jet was shot down near the city of raka secular off also stressed the pentagon's still treating various terror groups very differently for. the facts we have sure that the u.s. is really targeting what we don't we call america bombing so actively. so what it's called it's constantly changing its name but it doesn't change. all russia's now halted some cooperation with the u.s. over syria its pull out of the agreement to prevent collisions in syrian airspace meanwhile australia's announced it's temporarily suspending air operations in the country. well u.s.
2:13 pm
led coalition planes the syrian jet was downed in self-defense however in the last month already targeted government forces up to five times let's take a look at actually where those at the place the plane was shot down just southwest of the syrian city of rocker isis defector capital just sealed the euphrates river where the coalition supporting kurdish troops in their fight against the organization of the u.s. led coalition is also conducted several strikes in the south of the country's border crossing here time of the training base now the pentagon the sides of the same justification for each raid that assad forces have breached the so-called the confliction zone and in sanaa we looks at how this military escalation may be reaching boiling point the u.s. shoots down syrian plane over syria in self-defense the only actions that we have taken against pro regime forces in syria and they've been to specific incidents have been in self-defense let's imagine a random guy comes into your house with
2:14 pm
a gun and shoots your dog and then he's like it was just self-defense i wanted to make sure there was no why lynds going on here d. escalation. placed in after this self-defense move the situation couldn't be worse russia now considers all u.s. led coalition planes in the area of potential targets and are tracking them all of this happened as both the u.s. and syrian government backed up by the russian air force were fighting isis in the stronghold of raka now washington and moscow have locked horns in syria again focus has shifted and isis is probably breathing a deep sigh of relief while watching syrian fighter jets crash in flames on the horizon good job superpowers you're not so super slick all questions are now being asked whether the fight against terror has changed to outright military intervention and even the u.s. census of join those critical of the pentagon's policy in syria. this is illegal
2:15 pm
war at this point and then there's the practical question the practical question is doing anything you want killing every perceived enemy in every perceived leader of chieftain of five people in some misbegotten village is it helping are we going to defeat an ideology by killing people the united states and the coalition are there without any permission without any and all four are ready to be president and done so when we when we not only do we enter syria and there are sovereign airspace. but now we have shot down syrian jets we have been carrying out bombing attacks this is an act of civil war of aggression under under international law. of the german parliament has approved the transfer of its troops from the. key to jordan
2:16 pm
following dividing tensions with ankara let's get the latest now from correspondent pizza all of a piece of ice this thing across the story it seems the woodrell problem solved really isn't it all is there more to this. well this isn't so much a problem solved as it is a solution of kinds it gets rid of the immediate problem which was that german lawmakers have been refused access to the insular airbase by the turkish authorities they weren't allowed to visit their own troops that prompted the lion the german defense minister to put in place the motion to withdraw their troops from there and relocate them to jordan to an airbase there. this is now been fully approved by the german parliament and what we're going to see is throughout june operations will carry on as they were scheduled in july they're
2:17 pm
going to see a movement of troops into the new base in jordan where they will be operational troops there and by october the new base the move will be fully complete and germany will start operating tornado reconnaissance flights out of that new base it was all put agreed on monday just have to go through and get that rubber stamp through the parliament and that's what we've seen today on wednesday and this is the first tension is that in relations between germany this is something that's been boarding over for quite some time now hasn't it so perhaps not a surprise to many people. diplomatic relations between ankara and are at their lowest ebb that people can remember we've seen the turkish president accuse the german chancellor of carrying out nazi tactics we've seen
2:18 pm
accusations flying left right and center about germany wanting to perhaps provide asylum to some of those accused of taking part in the coup in turkey last year what we've also seen in a recent development is president of the one of turkey will be here in germany just next week at the g. twenty in hamburg after that he wanted to speak to the turkish population in north rhine-westphalia the german state over in the west of the country as a lot of turkish people there what he's now seeing is but he's coming up against brick walls he's seen one. venue in boston say that they couldn't accommodate him he's also seen another venue an over house and say that they were going through a renovation at that time so we still don't know whether he will try and address that crowd and whether you will try and organize something of his own back but yes we are seeing at a very low ebb in the relations between two nato allies it certainly doesn't seem
2:19 pm
like it's one that nato wants to get involved in we've heard from again stoltenberg their secretary general he said it's up to the two countries to sort it out however he expressed his regret early in and don't seem to be able to iron out their problems at the moment they only seem to be adding to them. a rock and hard place really comes to mind there when talking about those relations with our european correspondent. but he's ations of sponsoring terror seem to have become common among middle eastern countries the longest and loudest such blame game has been between two of the region's biggest players iran saudi arabia now in january last year the saudi embassy in iran was actually set on fire amid a violent protests after the arab states executed a prominent shia cleric accusing him of terrorism now iran said its embassy in yemen was hit by a saudi air strike iran and saudi arabia support of course opposing sides in this
2:20 pm
civil war there now iran accuse saudi arabia of being behind the deadly terror attack that killed eighteen people into iran just two weeks ago saudi arabia denies the accusations and in the most recent development saudi arabia detained three iranian citizens claiming their members of iran's armed forces something iran has denied the official rhetoric between the two states has also repeatedly been tense . aggressive policies in the region seem to undermine security and spread strife and wars saudi arabia is a country where i don't think the word election has any meaning they've never seen a ballot box so it is kill the children and destroy the houses infrastructure and national resources of yemen this is a serious crime we would welcome the opportunity to see iraq act like a normal country to be a peaceful country to not interfere in the affairs of the countries of the region
2:21 pm
and to not support terrorism or we invited guests to discuss the positions of both states so this was also a pretty heated debate between political analysts say had mohammad marandi from tehran and. retired commodity commodore from the royal saudi navy for an edited discussion is available on our facebook page to check it out when you can right now though here are some highlights. well the problem with the saudi regime is that it has been doing this since the early one nine hundred eighty s. when they were supporting extremist groups in afghanistan with u.s. support saudi arabia and saudis don't have anything against the a.m.a. and people and as a matter of fact we think they get on as a as very rich and rich of sources very rich. and until nine hundred seventy nine things we had a fine between the problem that was created in between iran and saudi arabia is that the saudi arabian regime like other regimes they were free of fear of
2:22 pm
revolutions in their own country. dictatorship family that doesn't even tolerate itself the crown just kicked out of office today. the king put it here he put his son in its worth. but why why. now we see. the. head of. our forces are fighting alongside the god the so the forces in yemen we know. where it's ideology come from we know idea where the idea from. the books that they teach come from saudi arabia we know that the bomb attacks europe across europe in asia africa . and ice is never to. be in what doesn't ices attack or doesn't attack iran but they have attacked. saudi arabia and many to many terrorist acts many times now we come
2:23 pm
to it to yemen saudi arabia and yemen share hundreds and or a thousand miles of borders and the which is supported by iran and being supplied by very disable or lethal weapons like like the scud missiles support. supported by iran and given to the many to the whole by iran and the out of thirty that war doesn't just like they did like fields ago and when they're kept so did it be at that time we actually. allow in food to get into account for such weapons be sent to yemen no no no you didn't do it in a saudi surely surely not allowed on the if you added to the no no certainly no matter who they are you know you do and you do it and they would know audacity you don't know if you actually run when you just. really knew that it had been you know in its military or tele country ok now i'm just going to let alone. pronounce are you only the start of the by the way we wanted the war in yemen we would never want
2:24 pm
to be in a conflict with a neighboring believe it or not saudi arabia for that for many decades have supported yemen and their minis with tens of thousands and tens of billions of dollars. direct aid and infrastructure building roads and hospitals when the saudis don't tolerate that when they impose hunger on yemen when they destroy syria with extremists like al qaeda in isis we know from that we can leaks documents that hillary clinton knew that the saudis and the batteries up to two thousand and fourteen were both funding isis we know what the saudis did in libya so when the saudis behave as such it's very difficult to find a solution but at the end of the day the saudis will have to come to an agreement with iran and other regional countries because it is running out of money because the saudis are have failed in yemen they field in the war against the yemeni people actually can just abdellatif to respond to that so how do you respond to that yes.
2:25 pm
so the saudi arabia to the g twenty countries and has one of the most stable economy and one of the stable governments and not only in the region in the whole world and there is a solid. you need to between there are a lot of the old and so dear this is why you see the saudis in study area at a time you see the elite the iranian elite are living outside outside area and. the iranians are fleeing clearly a lot of they are leaving from their own country. now the second group matches that the twenty seventeen confederations cup first of all of all are now on the way let's go now to me stan collymore who are special rooftop shooter quite a view there. yes welcoming teeth on the roof tops today and we're hoping to stay that terrace
2:26 pm
that close to the edge you know i'll see. russia because the last one to christiane i'm. pretty much and ten of the people stan take us through the school and yeah i mean i think that the school alarm was probably reflect accurately the game and who else christiane are now that were really good cross that came in from the left he lingered for posting this for me is why he's the best player in the world doesn't just score sensational goals but very good as well as the game went on which he did come back into the game to clean the second off in five it's in my wallet so you saved in that first off just to keep the door closed but i was very very enthusiastic about the second off performance because there was a reaction there was a response and a positive response from that i think they went to the new school which was the ball into the box and. that's a simple way of putting i mean more like. pressing hard. hits in the
2:27 pm
head in the first reply probably because christiane over now when the european champions were on the. words. they were confident a lot more comfortable. try to play the ball three. positions in books for a little bit of. quality finish. in the rush to. put in a draw or even a question we. can still get very important going to have to probably plenty. of a surprise and let's be honest. every time we have. yeah i mean i think the familiar set then of course in belfast about ten days ago. a fantastic. and lots of posters lots of positive images. and if we're not going to play
2:28 pm
things we're going to work. and so against the likes of giovanni. a lot. to. judge you and go. from being the start of the road to the world cannot apply particularly nothing to man coming up. to you and. he's looking. for the same reasons everybody wants to call him and see what's on offer. everything you know that they would be planning going to be said and they would. it
2:29 pm
