the website of the world the daily mail tells us how jeremy corbyn good sweep aside the tories to become britain's next prime minister says a freedom of information request reveals police have advised using potentially lethal force to control and to fracking activist to. get to the leader of the u.k. green party why she joined tens of thousands of protesters outside the militarized walls because of the bloody conflicts in manchester oliseh more coming up in today's going underground to munch a star under virtual lockdown with snipers on buildings for this week's story conference was home to the u.k.'s first trades union congress to suffragettes movement in arguably the communist manifesto but today some claim one of the capitals of britain's northern powerhouse is comparatively more poverty stricken than when george orwell wrote the road to wigan pier in one nine hundred thirty six we spoke to britain's assistant whip to the treasury craig whittaker outside the convention center where police offices were holding back protesters in
4:30 am
a reported cost of three million taxpayer pounds despite one hundred ten of his fellow tory m.p.'s not even attending their own or two conference craig thanks for stepping out of the conference and out of the malays it was so they kept on energy costs housing sounds like golden light no not at all i mean you know we had the promise to give a very clear vision about what me should is going to be about and it's about taking personal responsibility for the housing market in this country and she's going to make sure that we get there as he spoke to the young people the cooling macdonnell bolasie which he probably shops and we don't have any policies will also have at least of all day having the policies that it costed but we're still overspending fifty billion pounds a year we're still clearing up the coal but the mess that we inherited gordon brown both in tony blair it's essential to gender as no doubt you guys know all about what do you see from him. speak about d.c.m.s. you mentioned the b.b.c.
4:31 am
correspondent laura cons but not by name but talking about the need for bodyguards polarized things getting in britain well i mean that you know that that is an atrocious situation you can hear the noise here today this isn't the majority this is the very very cool few those actually you know the liberal elites in this country are very very good and very open minded and to you disagree with their point of view and that's what we're hearing here it's and that's the sad part about the saga will continue to do any fear of jeremy coleman. and of course made reference to jamie goldman i think six times six times more than the name to resume well let's not forget germany is the opposition and you know all oppositions you know we are never complacent about any opposition because opposition is dangerous and particularly this type of opposition you know you've got a you've got a opposition leader in this country that is taking this country back thirty years you know marxist in ideology the country becoming more marxist why did they do so
4:32 am
well. last time i checked they didn't do very well and lost an election although in fact they did they didn't come anywhere close to winning the last elections i don't think that i'm a mentioning the importance of unionism in keeping the united kingdom together was part of the billion billion pound bribe to the g.o.p. . you know we are the conservative and unionist party we always have been we always will be but what sort of power do the d. of being over you tory m.p.'s while none whatsoever the very separate parties we have a supply and demand working relationship they have a very clear god they will support a conservative government on like any other minority government in the history i think an abandonment of any fiscal rules which is going to make the electorate surely wonder why not just give the vertical will obviously more keynesian interest ruction investment yeah but willie week we've already heard of called in that you know we're going to wipe out student. we're going to cancel. a little sudden guess
4:33 am
what they can afford to do we're going to get the sixty billion pounds to write off student debt was he going to get that two hundred billion barrels do we nationalize industries in this country the money. thank you well. the british government's treasury whip craig with your they're speaking to me outside the convention center protected by police and machine guns we also moved to somewhere more quiet to catch up with britain's former secretary of state for international development u.k. privy councillor andrew mitchell conservative m.p. for something called field to get his impressions of how well to raise the maze government is doing and joel way from all the gossip and personalities you were secretary of state for international development any sign of international development issues being spoken about here the conference the first thing is going to do is to show that we know what we're doing have a bracks set we've got to deliver successful for the u.k. the second thing is to do something about the levels of intergenerational
4:34 am
unfairness in britain today and the third is to demonstrate why the free enterprise system why private enterprise is the great engine of opportunity and growth and raising living standards if we just get to do what you said about echoing the prime minister the free enterprise was the greatest engine i think she said of agency of human progress jeremy corbyn john mcdonald was on this show they wouldn't disagree with that they're just saying now capitalism is failing. well i think drama gallen drama called believe that the venezuelan example of of how you run an economy is a good way to run the economy we don't. see that in a world and industrial economy as opposed to going to me to either emerging more or developing nation economy both jeremy and john believe that the free enterprise system isn't delivering and that's why we need to fight these battles again that
4:35 am
you believe that's the case to presume no i do think that i think the free enterprise i think well the law is the child poverty capital of this country and at the same term there are more multi-millionaires within a couple miles of where we're sitting than anywhere outside london child poverty under the conservatives has reduced inequality under the conservatives have reduced it went up under the last labor government. address inequality has reduced and if depends on pond which the sticks you are using but the effectiveness of the measures that we have taken lifting people out of poverty and that means families children and adults lifting about poverty have been extremely effective you know there was no great food bank use under the even the blairite brown or the labor regimes even conservative m.p.'s in are saying the universal credit rollout is the main reason for food bank use these are your party's policies in government that
4:36 am
are causing this situation i don't think there's anything wrong with food banks i think that in a sophisticated society like. however strong the safety net is there will always be people who fall through it and i think that the food banks are very good example of the big society trying to make sure that those gaps are plugged a little excited that philanthropic i don't old conservative values and then to help no i don't favor of the rollout of universal. credit will be got to be certain that we don't put people into a bad place as a result of that and so isn't the levels of the developing world scale debt of the kind that used to be trying to solve overseas that are causing the german corbin's policies to. become more popular he's ordered a favorite to be the next prime minister of this country what is it this was an election about authenticity and jeremy has done extremely well that he is actually consistent and utterly authentic i believe also that he is wrong and what in his
4:37 am
economic analysis under mitchell thank you conservative former cabinet minister under mitchell there and we also invited to a conference makeshift studio the former vice chair of the conservative party nigel evans to get his take on measures to twenty seventeen what do you think about manchester right now it's a child poverty capital of this country so he will go in france i've been in the m.p. for a constituency just an hour up the road so i've been coming to manchester for many years and it's been transformed by successive governments i have to say it's far more dynamic one of the world's great cities yes there are going to be problems they're all they need to be dealt with and there again it's not something invented by this government it's successive governments now that you mention successive governments because some people including the prime minister. arguably quite frightened jeremy called we know obviously didn't see any of the success of no you didn't know he's a he's a rebel now with a cause i guess and he's a rebel with a party i think he's he rose. and shop is from venezuela do we really want you to
4:38 am
look at but just in the end you're really willing i'll do you really want to turn this place into caracas i don't think so the fact is that i don't know that i was using food back out of a. seriously because i am that people aren't supporting corbin because they see deeply divided unequal britain no i think that they're seeing a dynamic britain that is now entering a new chapter it's a new era we're leaving the european union and we will be doing trade deals throughout the rest of the world and hopefully doing a trade deal with the european union as well we still want to buy their cars we still want to buy their champagne and hopefully they'll still want to buy our products as well we've got a net deficit with the european union of about sixty to set. billion pounds it's in their interests that david davis is allowed to negotiate a proper deal that's going to be in the best interests of all of us and then if you really want to see poverty go to greece go and have a look at fifty percent youth unemployment go to spain where you see fifty percent
4:39 am
youth unemployment there as well there are a lot of countries within the european union who are doing very badly because of the system of the european union and the fact that they're on the euro it's not helping them it's helping germany but it's certainly not helping them doesn't your henry the eighth the repeal bill will mean that a europe a skeptic or within mcdonnell can really bring about a much more spectacular change of the kind that you oppose so i trusted the electorate at the last general election didn't quite get the we wanted but they are always right i trusted the electorate on bragg's it as well and i will trust the electorate when it comes to the next general election when we're out of the european union yes jeremy corbin without the constant saw of the european union will be able to offer an agenda which if sufficiently attractive he will get elected to number ten our challenge is to ensure that we offer something that is going to be far more attractive than what we offered last time around we attack the young we attack the old those days have gone we've now got cabinet governance back
4:40 am
in this country the fact is we're being realistic about it we're not saying we're going to get rid of tuition fees because that is totally an affordable but what we are going to do is ensure that that threshold is raised before people start paying back that debt and we're also freezing the tuition fees as well these are sensible realistic things we're not promising things we can't deliver after all we are in government when we say we're going to do something we'll be judged on whether we act or not nigel evans thank you after the break u.k. labor leader jeremy corbett went so far as to say that his support goes up the ball or rather me as daily mail attacks him well we spoke to the newspaper's consultant editor andrew pearce who appears not to have too much time for corbin or to raise him a and we speak to the activists protesting your liberalism outside to raise a base militarized. production rules the ones mainstream media never told. you of going on the ground.
4:41 am
level was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings produce to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still need. to do socks for the tell you that will be gossip and by files of the most important news today. off of advertising telling you you are not cool enough to buy their products. things are the hawks that we along with all the ones. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington or washington. voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.
4:42 am
i have the absolute conviction. to be europe. and russia have a common interest to look at closer corporation and this is why i seemed. to mobilize the driving force into business community but also in culture entertainment and sports we did you know to bring it. much closer. welcome back before mainstream media turned on dres m a in this week's arguably disastrous conservative party conference jeremy corbyn called up mainstream media and one particular newspaper one paper devoted four team pages to
4:43 am
attacking the labor party. in the following. ten percent he was referring to the daily mail and well the leader of western europe's largest socialist party may laugh at it the lord rather me a title has in fact apparently most viewed english language newspaper websites in the world we sat down with the paper's consultant editor andrew pierce who was in manchester to cover this week's conference to get his take on theresa may the conservative party and who will be britain's next prime minister under way erin man just last week in brighton call been attacked your newspaper which apparently the biggest web presence on the internet of any newspaper in the world the daily mail this time it's the turn of the f.t. or maybe another type of newspaper constant attacks on newspapers and media at the moment well i took it as a badge of honor and i my attitude when terry mcauliffe and singled out the daily mail for criticism that sound stupid not you put
4:44 am
a more low drove of yeah it's our job is to challenge. politicians and look at what they're saying and what they're doing we don't go been saying all day and here in manchester of course the f.t. has been attacked by tories from the platform because it's a cheerleader for the european union the editor lionel barber has got a civic award from the french government because of the work they've been doing promoting the european union which i think is an undemocratic useless incompetent expensive institution and i'm very glad we're leaving it's a japanese newspaper the f.t. anyway they've always been suspicious like german corben as a result of the european union any suspicion that what are you hearing in the conference hall about some suspicions from some sections of the conservative body and the country that there's a creeping remain miller is of reneging on the will of the british people going on well boris johnson speech brother a speech in the party conference try to deal with that head on because he's talked about the benefits of brags that we've got to start seeing the positives of bragg's
4:45 am
at seventeen and a half million people in britain voted to leave your opinion because they want to get their lives back that it won't brussels telling us what to do what do we can and can't pay our benefits to and it's a long lost foreign secretary has spoken up for those benefits and i know ways yeah but i know david daves the bracks except i've seen him a lot at this conference i've known him for many years he says nothing's changing we are leaving the european union in march twenty nine thousand we're leaving the single market we're leaving the customs union and the transition period shouldn't be much more than two years which is pretty much what boris johnson said yeah people can probably understand a negotiation like this is sensitive is this really not be out in the open all the time but we do hear that civil servants are being stolen from david davis the brakes it secretary and put in downing street we know tourism it was a remainer i mean are there any worries that people voted for no leader tell you why if the can if the government doesn't deliver the bricks that people wanted which is the european court not meddling in our affairs and that we can negotiate
4:46 am
our own trade deals they've got to recover. we swept from office during the cold and we prime minister people like to raise a million philip hammond of the people to drive this forward. then the more says yeah rightly evokes a david may well be the poster for that much longer than they will have a new leader i don't think it's boris johnson by the way either i don't know who it's going to be so good it's a good it's a good question to ask but i don't know but whoever it is it will be on the remains of the soft tories i think it will be a leaf i think it probably has to be if i have to put money in it would be a man could dominate rob who's not even in the cabinet minister of state he's very clever close to david davis who was but not the also quite good he didn't get called in right i didn't go well horribly wrong but i did get the referendum right our money on the referendum and i won money on trump winning in the united states because i thought hillary clinton was ghastly and she had so much baggage and that's that's even for you think has been so maybe i've got this one right it was
4:47 am
definitely worth a long shot thank you very nice to be here. the consult and editor of lord rather me is daily mail newspaper well while but she in gun toting beliefs protected conservative party rallies inside man just as conference calls it was outside the militarized walls that one issue is being heard loud and clear changes to social security by twenty twenty two over seven million households are projected to receive praise amaze universal credit payments when they were hoff being working households with critics say the policy will drive millions to seek food aid this in a country which the red cross says is facing a humanitarian crisis over basic health care which the u.n. says is failing to protect the vulnerable this before demerged betrays a maze so-called policy on housing would only be responsible for five thousand extra homes while two million households languish on waiting lists. what do you
4:48 am
think of tourism a speech and really good thing. even though. even though it seemed like cool and light to some of the people coming to the conference. was a great speech it really shows head emanation. he really wants to do something for the country which is fantastic what do you think of your leaders meet our folks you very much very challenging circumstances what about how she's trying to address child poverty this is the job of the capital of britain. this is and it's in manchester no no one in manchester elected i could seventy s. and p. nobody in manchester wants the tories here and they've used that they've sent out message by democratically elected people from other parties now the reason the concept the reason there's so much security here is because the concept is to come to such a leftwing city with a proud sister a proud history of socialism and effectively we are now our taxpayers and i subsidizing this conference without the police and with the with the board as well
4:49 am
so really there could have been a better light. mention for that conference to be held and i think this is something that we see across the country as well but when we see i've been quite struck by protest movements and fracking sites where. are currently trailing and what you see are police lines just like there's hundreds of police to work against kind of thirty forty protesters who are there every day who are using brutal tactics also means of course able to actually at the moment unsuccessfully trail for shale gas while our government is subsidizing the operation by providing police security i can understand entirely why people feel they need to take. direct action if you like than you know escalate their actions but i think you know and i can understand as people are very very angry people are being people's lives are being ruined here i don't like describing those kind of actions as violent because you
4:50 am
know i mean actually if you look at what this government's responsible for cutting n.h.s. funding is killing people cutting table people's benefits is killing people you know the situation with the grain felt was avoidable and that is you know that was a political decision about you know cutting costs and things which is why those people died so if we don't describe those kind of things as violence i don't think we can describe political protest as violent either we had our first food bank in the country opened in my local hospital and instead of the being a protest outside it saying this is wrong why are people being amidst this hospital with malnutrition related diseases the celebrated the past their food their drinks and their should go to bana. you know that couldn't abandon the site call in the fly fly into somebody you know i would highly fused salivates because this government is gonna come painted discrimination against the polish and say it's i spoke unspayed politer since committed suicide. outside the job center of universal
4:51 am
credit one man must absolutely everything including his family had no shoes on his feet so little of activities that we've been doing all the way the government we hold him accountable it's because a group site black child and girl is spread all the time collated information about the deaths and destruction caused by this government it's about people like me who write for the paper write for the blog you challenge people all the time about these issues it's about side daypack who put their lives and their regions on the line stand in front and sit in front of charms because they will not listen to peaceful protesters you know real large segment of population about twenty percent were also one of the main targets of this government's attacks on society of reveal stare at each and. you know we're suffering. a massive application of our rights remove all. the income that we need to live on. which has led to enormous suffering and many deaths in the thousands but you know don't go down cast
4:52 am
i mean it's horrible government doing horrible things but you know i was strong together. and this is going to end we're going to get rid of this government. it's going to it's been seven years a really horrible seven years the united nations found that they're guilty of grave and systemic human rights abuses against people who have created a human catastrophe those are the actual words. and the government's rations that was simply to the nights out and so we want rid of them they're a terrible bunch of people doing terrible things and we want the mountains i also think the people want change on the foreign policy from as well because it seems to me to be completely wrong for this government or any other government to be spending billions and billions and billions of pounds on these foreign policy adventures these wars and interventions being so catastrophic over the last sixteen seventeen years they've made the world
4:53 am
a more dangerous place they've actually led to increase bitterness around the world they've called cause mayhem and chaos in the whole regions of the world actually and of course they talk in the conference center about the terrorist attacks which are awful and dreadful and we want an end to them but everyone really knows that the main cools the main reason why terrorism is spreading around the world is because of the anger and hatred that people feel towards the kind of wars that the west has been waging in the last couple of decades so yes certainly having some alternative media is very important i mean we all know how incredibly biased the b.b.c. has been against corbin uneven some of the so-called left wing journalists on papers like the guardian approved wanting so yes we need new turns of media but we also badly need a new politicized progressive culture my name my oh
4:54 am
oh so come oh oh no you sold out como surely you don't know you know i think it's very important to use culture in general including music to reach out to new audiences with progressive political ideas so i think that music has always been incredibly important. when it comes to the social and political debate and actually rulers of long understood this they very often try to suppress music that they don't like the message of anything they've commissioned composers to keep their own propaganda the right tone hello i'm people i'm a rapper from manchester and this is it is i was it's not my country not my scene not my capital not my queen not my soul just not my armies not my tanks not my m sixteen not my tornadoes or site clones not my helicopters or drones not my secrets
4:55 am
not my intelligence my silverball not my goat not my parliament not my doors no they're not my government show me and i might just walk in and drop my drawers on to them or they can eat my shorts because i live a life not like yours your course is not my cause come around here try to talk your talk or you might get sucked in the jaw because when my back's up on the wall i don't really want to talk no more i get vex when i hear them talking well i don't really want to hear no more because i don't want to contribute to this fuss and i'm in a mood to get dark and i'm in a mood to get hot i'm in a mood to speak badass. that was ending this special edition of going on the ground because everybody caught birds in manchester as you see i haven't they all but just so we'll see you on monday fifty years to the day the take of our all with the sounds of a goodwill cia backed mission in bolivia we'll be talking to take of ours grab a pill that give you the tribes little media we'll leave you to the side till south
4:56 am
about just a big look twenty seven to. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. running and this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such. a tiny house on a city parking space is not

different i speak to you now because there were no other takers. to the claim that mainstream media has met its maker. despite all the efforts of the central banks to kill the economy by keeping bankers solvent when they should have been declared bankrupt years ago the index is showing that interest rates are going to go higher this means two things number one property market's going to crash and number two bond market's going to crash. and it always gives yeah well you know until you go into her job there's a little you know mr world is going. to go in the other those are the three that in the term that the that the two little you have. is if
