animal welfare act two thousand and six provides protection for animals of experiencing pain or suffering which are under the control of man but in the scrum outside parliament on budget day the question for jeremy corbin's u.k. shadow chancellor john mcdonnell appeared to be with the theresa may with sentiment did the government have feelings sharon chancellor what did you think of the latest growth figures that a forecast for this country showed exactly what we've been saying if you don't invest in our economy the growth will go down product of it will not rise and as a result of lack of investment through austerity under this government the economy well i think is in. the sort of condition you would not expect it to be coming out of a recession a loss if you remember when with come out of the recessions of the eighty's and ninety's business investment was well sixty percent in one case thirty percent in another at the moment business investment at five percent so no wonder the productivity crisis that we've got right and i do think the chancellor didn't seem so bothered about the lower figures i think is because there's paralysis in

government no one is in charge no one is in control and this is a government in office but not in power but on a key call being indicators that were like inequality the government were proud to say that inequality is the lowest it's been for thirteen wounded in your case from different means from us a judge in a different way last year one million and a quarter food parcels giving out in the six richest country in the world that shows you what inequality there's in our society and it shows you also we've got four million children in poverty in this country two thirds of them are in families where someone is at work and the reason in poverty because of low pay will it make any difference is one week off the universal credit waiting period what he's doing at the moment is he's taken ten pounds off people on universal credit and giving one pound back was terrible and these are some of the poorest in our society joe johns thank you as for the man in charge of tourism is a new revamped social security system accused of ripping up the social fabric of the united kingdom he wasn't in the mood to talk to us sorry russia today we are not talking to you you when. because they were probably your property or propaganda

part. of your your propaganda that the position of the i don't care what religion you are not talking to r.t. you can have. whatever universal credit the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell just told us when you take your hands out you saw story recently would also know reputable person will speak to you because you are a propaganda face shadow chancellor john mcdonnell is not a reputable person prove a. point prove it or prove more able to talk with is the former vice chair of the party currently running britain in a minority government nigel evans former deputy speaker of the house of commons well with me is the former vice chair of the conservative party nigel evans and i don't thanks for being out here on the green some noise from construction because the booming economy what did you think of the budget. i've seen budgets over the past twenty five years as a member of parliament and i'm not philip hammond's biggest cheerleader either because i think in the past he's been far too like mark carney when he's looking at

the economy and not as much you know as an enthusiastic cheerleader but my goodness me didn't he sparkle today he performed in all the right areas as far as i'm concerned whether it is for those at the poorest stand for those on universal credit he's recognized that there have been problems with the rollout of the program for those on the national living wage and the national minimum wage is a difference depending on what age you are going at much higher than the rate of inflation and then the threshold before you start paying income tax increases yet again and then the announcement on giving hope to the nurses that that whatever the pay settlement is going to be that the transom is going to cover that i think it's brilliant and then of course one of the biggest problems for a lot of people living in the united kingdom is being able to afford your own home and he came out with that staggering statistic that the percentage of young people owning homes has dropped by over twenty. percent that's startling and he is now

doing something to reverse that in two ways and one is that the there's going to be a massive increase in house building in the areas where people want to live so it's not going to be you know areas where the rural areas where people don't want to live it's going to be cities in the main where people do want to live three hundred thousand houses by the middle of the next decade every year for people wanting to own their own homes and then of course that massive bombshell right at the end about the abolition of stamp duty for first time buyers for those buying homes up to the rate of three hundred thousand but also recognizing that houses are a bit more expensive in london so it's going to be up to half a million but the relief will still only be on the three hundred thousand i think that's great one could argue that is. merely reflects the fact that the conservatives face a wipe out in future elections and need the house owning classes to be able to vote tory because well don't have a stake in. it you know i might agree with you had i not read the recent opinion

polls which are just what the conservative party four points ahead of the labor party you would think wouldn't you know. it's sixty two percent. what the chancellor has done today i believe is. a number of key sectors at the lower end investing money at the for the entrepreneurs particularly in the high tech companies and the small to medium sized enterprises as well i think there's been recognition that this is a budget helping a number of sectors and the other key thing that he did today which i was really pleased about which is the extra three billion that is now put to one site for the briggs's preparations up until now he seems to have been reluctant to have given large sums of money it was about seven hundred million pounds in the past now he's given three billion pounds with the promise that if more is needed more will be found universal credit this rollout of this controversial welfare policy would you see. the waiting period from six weeks to five weeks we were saying this program

last week that if you claim the universe of credit in one of the pilot areas you had to wait till after chris no no no no it's all changed now and i say no you can do it online and you'll get it within five days now that was the announcement in the budget and i think that that is important change you know the other thing that universal credit has done and the chancellor pointed out in his budget statement which is that in the past people were penalized if they work more than sixteen hours now that is no longer the case and that has led to a real boom in the number of people working in this country which over the past seven years has gone up by over three million that's a fantastic on every day and you know you see wages here you well know. that the fact is as well that people are earning more money and that's been reflected in the increases in the national living wage a national minimum wage but the we were told that if the british people voted to leave the european union that there would be an immediate shock to the system and

thousands of people would lose their jobs well not only is that not happened but the level of unemployment has gone down every month the level of employment has gone up every month only lower wages and i do want to know not just what was the one who tried to do the project here on everybody and since leaving parliament he's got another six jobs i mean he's been there were many people as well is there for much chance of the exchequer who is part of the project there or and i know they're generally israel's of the economy i'm not even going to blame bricks it for this but around the world this is catastrophic g.d.p. forecast slashing them to one point nine percent one point six percent britain is now the slowest it's headed to me and i'm going economy and that is leaving bread and that is going to reverse and start to increase as well but you know i got a huge deal of skepticism about some of the statistics because it's amazing how often they're revised upwards after pretty depressing figures but if you compare us to some of the other countries around the european union my goodness me we're doing real. well and this is another in the budget today which i think is going to be

welcome for a lot of hard working families in this country and that's with a hundred twenty thousand children defacto homeless living in temporary accommodation this christmas nothing for those well that's all and there again he is going to have projects i think you know thirty million pounds i think that figure was right to help the homelessness problem in the united nations and then being commissioned nothing for those children this no no no no no. there is assistance for those who are homeless and i actually think the ambition on behalf of a chance to the extent to which i've never heard before to say that he is going to abolish homelessness by the middle of the next decade is something that i'm really proud of i'm proud that a conservative government is recognize that there is a huge problem that of course some of the homeless problem as well. mental health needs and as you know there's massive extra resources going into the mental health issues in this country. after the break what about the poor

a very different take on this week's british budget from the secretary to the treasury. stephen with paul clint of the u.k. parliament finance select committee he praises the government for a great goal a simple goal but going on the ground. everybody stephen both. proud americans under george bush are. this is my buddy max famous financial

guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to. you know windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun every day americans. look to the store to bridge the gap this is the great american. seniors ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy trying to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better and i think it's fair and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than hoffa million americans have been killed by firearms in the u.s. we had a thought to me as i did this is

a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got here. and i decided to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photograph those years ago i don't know this but we are not. welcome back you're watching a going on the ground u.k. budget special on the green outside parliament one that has polarized debate on the future of the british economy as it prepares to cope outside the european union on the green here well it's a disaster isn't it i mean when you're on the finance committee did you know the growth was going to be slashed growth in this country i think but it was a very very good. chance it's got a lot of make over and it's absolutely amazing that we've reduced all. that is

absurd to achieve the ten percent down to just over two point four percent that just because g.d.p. is going to be lower so therefore as a percentage of g.d.p. things look better g.d.p. is growing i mean you know this is lowest in western europe where we were the fastest growing economy and the reason for a lot of people who were coming to our country was simply because it was the only place where they could get work so you know as an economy we must have employment because highest employers are the ones who are the fastest growing and now we're the slowest growing economy in the g seven. as a percentage of debt and deficits and everything else is in g.d.p. is going to look better because one is going to forgive me i believe for the second fastest growing economy in europe at the moment and i think that will be quite quickly no point. six percent here and i'm sure it is going to be the first second i'm sure of our colleagues in your commercial and other places would love to have a condom growing at those speeds say no from our point of view because big tax revenues are spending eight hundred fifty billion pound a year massive investments and maybe it was

a very good butcher it every single part of our society i've been running a campaign of random sample well first systems universal credit the chance to just invested one billion pounds or because he listened to the campaign so i was very pleased about that and there's a range of other issues we invest in in terms of our votes on infrastructure and you know looks as though it is going to be booming pretty said john recordings in one hundred twenty thousand this christmas chunder twenty thousand children this christmas will be effectively homeless these plans investigations into. housing investigations into wealth and he's this knows all the time the best occasions of course are investigated about delivering so the chancellor sat around homelessness news investing a huge amount of money a sly mean we all accepted twenty two cities in the investigation liverpool in liverpool manchester and london but you know in a place where i live in steve. i have a labor council even though i'm a conservative and pay and the landlord who gives the most to big. notices in the

whole of the area is that labor council mr korb and mr mcdonnell need to speak to their friends locally and ask them to stop making my people homeless and. labor councils them throughout the country. giving cuts to local services to say stop treating. the man labor was in power i'm sure they've managed to blame the government with a government that was in previous parts the way they do all they do is talk of what we do is we have a record to deliver it and that's why at the moment people have interest in what we do so people of him getting on with the job and what we wanted to use government which will be with them and support them last week we were saying on this program that if you applied for universal credit this new welfare system from this government you were going to get any money till after christmas now under these new proposals you're only going to take a week off the delaying for money being given to families what was that in the courtroom so universal credit is actually cross party across party support we don't know the labor party certainly in the last three or four weeks decided it wasn't

going to work universal credit is actually a very positive way for because it stops this cliff to work sixteen hours what actually happened was people have to wait six weeks in the reforms that are just being announced that will go down to five weeks now and i don't have any money i have to wait till after christmas before i have any money no that's just scaremongering because the other thing the chance to announce is if you apply today you receive one hundred percent of funds payments that are ok i would just one other question about the housing stuff what is this hundred percent premium council tax that you have to pay for your property is left empty how long does your bones property have to be emptied before you you have to be on percent be something to look at the detail in the book i'm not sure but again if you go back to my local labor council there are eight thousand properties they have hundreds of them they're often empty they could be given to people who need them you know they're not particular about getting them back on the market quickly so this is a good way for. because it means that if you're properties empty you going to be

punished financially for that so it's best if you to get somebody in the i don't agree you're blaming labor council john mcdonald shall chance as we know on this program saying he would get to grips with the labor councils doing these sorts of policies are you just telling the labor party to get to grips with what labor policy centrally is my council's been labor since the thomas created in the one nine hundred fifty s. it's nearly seventy years since thank you. well u.k. finance select committee choice even mcpartlin may have blamed councils run by gerry corbin's labor party some like former chancellor ken clarke who wasn't on the green when we were filming may blame rupert murdoch according to made a deal with cameron over the british government itself where is to blame the neoliberal institute for fiscal studies says british workers now face to economic last decades something with which britain's shadow chief secretary to the treasury peter dowd agrees thanks for being on the show again a great successful speech by chancellor philip hammond universally applauded by

members of our press corps what's wrong with it well it didn't deal with fundamentals did it number housing well let's go through it number one g.d.p. growth flat line investment flat line productivity which feeds into wages flatlined wages worse than they were ten years ago in real terms. in for infrastructure in a pretty poor state public services an apostate no pay rise for public sector workers though the health secretary says you have a chat with the nurses about. half a million nurses a love child with five million other public sector workers can go whistle. that seems pretty grim to me what was your understanding about that comment you made about nurses there was an immediate figure given but something about the. pay review board recommended well being in excess of that review board recommendations no no i think well the devil's in the detail with these sorts of things and it was a sort of a rather than nothing point to make what you seem to me to be saying is that. for

nurses the sec the health secretary will discuss with them about possible changes to agenda for change which is the pay structure for for everybody in fact virtually in the n.h.s. so it's in parts impossible to say the reality is he's going to have a chat with them well the former vice chair of the bits of the body nigel evans replied to my question about economic growth in a way that i think many of our viewers would would assume is a question of credence can be given to it we should necessarily be very these figures because i said these figures show pretty sharp decline and we have some of the worst growth rates in europe even you show only from mention the labor party about these figures of economic growth forecasts for this country well they are criminals just i just referred to that the issue is g.d.p. is is is in its in its boots all the other in the cases of the same now these are forecasts are not made by the government these are forecast in a sense made independently and verified in the public as much as you possibly can and in fact the office for budget responsibility has responsibility for overseeing

these things is actually set productivity it's going to have to revise the the productivity figures which leads into path of growth downwards and that's going to give the chancellor even less room for maneuver in a couple years time she's got a little bit of breathing space but this is going to look pretty grim in two years' time but on the central perhaps greatest macroeconomic issue facing this country inequality the tory government is it is the least for thirteen years now how can you beat the system like that well because i suspect the trying to say that because everybody's poll. is is less than it was i mean it's a nonsense about losses a century when homelessness is still pretty grim it's increased by fifty percent of the past five years and the government's strategy in relation to rough sleeping it says it will eliminate hope to eliminate rough sleeping when in ten years. i mean

never given by pay vs labor chancellors will tell you walking a commitment that you're going to. try to eliminate rough sleeping in ten years time is going rough sleeping is gone up dramatically and exponentially under this government what you've got to do is to stop it happening in the first place not sort the problem out after the event you see the big headline story of this budget talking about a strange tax for our international viewers on buying houses first time purchases of houses as more to do with the need for electoral support for the conservative party well the thing i'm more interested in is the fact that a lot of those young people who would have paid a particular tax a house talks are not going to have to pay that for your international viewers that are going to have to pay the young people to get into the housing market all the better but it still doesn't deal with the fundamental issues that we don't have enough houses for people to go in in the first place so those people who could get into ours and market that's great and i welcome that might my son did that in the

last twelve months that's great however it still doesn't deal with the fundamental issue of the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people millions who can't get into the house and now i know it's an old joke by this government to criticize tony blair and gordon brown and this is an old german call been labor party why is it that labor could never even thought of introducing the kind of under present council premium tax on empty properties that has been moved by chancellor philip hammond with surrounded by empty flats here no doubt investment vehicles for foreign owners but i think the fiscal measures these are technical measures that you can you can introduce the key to this is that you can tax those houses as much as you want and that's ok doesn't necessarily mean people are going to move into them the key to this is to start at the bottom make the houses make the flats provide the accommodation he said every hundred thousand a year house building program well well if he can do that. look tim the bottom line

is that the very huge shortages in a whole range of trades from quantity surveying right the way through to join is to brickies plumbers electricians that's where you start the housing markets renascence when you trained and skilled people to do those jobs not just making announcements which you then revise the following year in the year after the new year after that and on the close is britain gets to a religion the national health service we mention the nurses what about the fact that the government can keep on returning to the fact that we have record patient levels and the public satisfaction with the national health service is highest in twenty is much better than under even leave neo liberal brown a playwright label well i think he's a fantasy a lot of the bottom line is try to get an appointment with a chief there's now a waiting list which is the longest it's ever been to get operations for example i think that they are completely in a fantasy land if they genuinely believe that the public think everything's hunky

dory and then it just with well we can do a little bit better they really are in a fantasy land and i think this book you just reaffirms the fact that they think seem to think most things are ok growth so productivity is ok investment so investments in the public services have a chat with nurses about giving them a pay rise and the rest of them can go to whistle if they think that is a good start and i go to public services i'm going to go to economic states will help us all and as regards where the real cash is arguably the baby trillions you know in the tax havens you're still calling on the government to have an inquiry into tax dodging on the offshore islands why do you think they don't want to do that well because it must really go to the heart of the matter of getting that money back to the base he's talked to and i think this i can sum this up but i was on to believe that if the day of the death of the writer of long day's journey into night eugene o'neill played by jackson.
