and is a holy city for both judaism and the muslim faith and the temple mount and there marks a mosque or in the same venue in the same situation one on top of the other they're both. absolutely essential to both religions and to both peoples jews and palestinians claiming access to and in a sense ownership of that sites so i think that this unilateral decision shows again president trump is taking a one sided attitude to this conflict between the palestinians and the israeli surprised that the prime minister said she wasn't informed of the decision beforehand when you were a foreign minister you would you have expected a call from washington to inform you before i'm not surprised that president trump didn't inform and theresa may know because he just tweets his announcements or goes off the cuff but certainly we would have been consulted if president bush or
4:31 am
president clinton had done anything like this we'd have been consulted would have expressed our views here that made it clear albeit the donald trump has said that solutions other than the two state solution may be on the table palestinian activism for a long time said this should be a one state solution with all communities living equally the two state solution was basically a lie the guy and of solution you were putting forward when you were foreign minister well i think time has been running out for a two state solution for some time now and that was the preferred. solution of the oslo process the palestinians rather against the natural will accept that the israelis went along with it there's now. voices from the very top of the israeli government netanyahu and others saying a two state solution is not acceptable so we have to find by the whether it is in which case the settlements have to stop or another option is on the table and what does it mean for washington now everyone from isis day. of the united nations
4:32 am
secretary general to the european union to who knows who else are all united against u.s. policy well that's true in a lot of issues. and i think that what is now happening is that america is becoming an increasingly isolationist unilateralist power which is very dangerous for the world whether it's over korea whether it's over jerusalem very dangerous for the world some might argue it's always been that way and the british prime minister is just like poodles anyway but some may argue that i don't think that was always true but there's never the less the close relationship between washington and london has always been very important but and i don't think it should be casually pushed aside but i do think this particular style unilateralist stance of america going it alone on the president trump is very damaging at a time when the world is in a very dangerous place away from the violence in the middle east if you take those
4:33 am
injuries love to some people saying the threat of future violence on the irish border as the woman or the not and secretary of state are you surprised knowing what you do about the d p that they could. and i know lots of it is speculation to give away on allowing kind of special status for. there was never going to be a way in which the heart breaks it which is what the d.p. a favorite and the conservative government under theresa may up to now favor that's to say just leaving everything in the european union and going our own way as the united states. it was ever going to be compatible with an open border because that border across the other side of the border in northern ireland is the irish republic which is a member of the european union and therefore the customs union and the single market of the year and that's requires customs checks and it requires all sorts of
4:34 am
other board is a mission to deal constituency of working class protestants who for so long for them to the printer to surrender. but i don't think necessarily that the feet of surrender or the terrorism is surrendered what i think they have done is push the can down the road and caved into the european union to some extent at this point with pleasure wording that leaves everybody feeling if not happy then not unhappy and that's often the way you get in these kind of negotiations but it leaves open the reality that he's going to have to be confronted by the d.p. and by to resume his government that you're going to have to be either rim staying in the single market in the customs union or have such equivalence and alignment and mutual acceptance of each other standards. and regulations as well as no tariff barriers and so on and charges that if you might as well be honest no
4:35 am
repercussions for the good friday agreement all these sorts of negotiations being made outside of that agreement obviously provided that border stays open with not a single check on it then the good friday agreement can be protected but playing with fire they are playing with fire because you know. to get to where we got in my twenty's twenty seven two thousand and seven when i was secretary of state under tony blair when we got the old bitter enemies sharing power together which they had done until this year for ten nearly ten years required everybody to respect the good friday agreement it was very hard it was very tough it took decades of negotiation and compromise and you play with facts. at your peril you're joking about working hard by the way as well as you can back
4:36 am
customs you deserve what before you surprise of the breakfast secretary said no economic modeling has been done in any sector of the british economy for. what happens to britain in a way i wasn't because this whole enterprise has been. undertaken with a kind of fool hardy jingoism. that we're just going to leave we're going to stick two fingers up to the european union we're doing they're working hard i think they're working hard but i don't think they've ever really thought it through and really thought through the consequences of britain leaving our biggest trading partner by far what david cameron never thought about ireland it's all winning the referendum i'm afraid both david cameron but especially trays of a and i don't make a party point here because john major the former conservative prime minister is virtually said the same thing have not really kept their eye on the ball about the northern ireland peace process and not being hands on in a way that for example gordon brown and especially tony blair and john major before
4:37 am
. they really got to you know northern ireland and peace in northern ireland should be the top of the prime minister's in-tray every day and it never has been ok let's turn to britain's other call in the south africa what do you. mean yes exactly what are you going for as regards banking links british banking links to alleged corruption in south africa well i was involved in the anti-apartheid struggle i was brought up in south africa south african born parents who were jailed and banned and forced into exile in the struggle with nelson mandela and so it's very painful to me as it is to many of those who fought so hard to defeat apartheid to see this corruption and cronyism from president zuma of south africa right the way down to his business. salita around around him and what has been clear is that money is
4:38 am
being laundered abroad through british banks and other banks billions of rand and hundreds of millions of pounds coming through the by hong kong and british banks have been up to their neck in it h.s.b.c. standard chartered the bank of baroda is based here but also. the banks that have been part of the moving the money around not necessarily having accounts in the name of members of the zuma family or their business associates to the south african indian family the good but for example santan there and barclays and probably other british high school we have the same military banks that it denying . that say. denied us before they were forced to reveal it and went bankrupt for taking corrupt money from the same elite. mckinsey also it's a pretty global brands also denied to the big it was a bit over the end the struggle in mandela was finally freed to privatisation that
4:39 am
selling out to the i.m.f. this would result in the kind of corruption we've seen in one developing nation need not have happened name one that it hasn't been is not a function the automatic function good governance which happened on a nelson mandela he never tolerated any of this corruption would you know if any of the stuff i what it is done is completely betrayed his legacy and president zuma i'm sorry to say and those at the top of the african national congress that i still support and have been a supporter of for decades as were my parents. they have got they've got to change or they're going to die and they going to drag south africa down into the quagmire with them just very very briefly what retaliation have you suffered because of the stunts you appear to be doing well back in the the apartheid days i got a letter bomb which fortunately was faulty. more recently i've been trolled and
4:40 am
attempts to kind of smear me because i'm speaking the truth and i'm doing this at the request of a very brave whistle blowers inside the south african system financial system and the general state system who are feeding me information to try and reveal the extent of this money laundering because until we defeat this disease south africa is not going to be able to get back on track thank you so pleasure after the break why did. the program not mention the u.k. government funded why tell me. about what she discovered on a trip to syria. night's. performance this week. going underground.
4:41 am
they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on this too since miss doing it behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking about what's next why stop will feel banned me from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one or scratch below the right i should be sent to the town one because i want to try to break me on the wheel but out with a long time of this sort of nonsense you don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out in good company i'm in good company you're going to lose me you want to do this because we'll freezing cold.
4:42 am
let me explain something to everybody out there is wants to be a success in life is two ways to get you can either become educated you can do that by yourself go to the new york university website or the gallatin division and get the syllabus of the book list at all gala to the vision students after i was in the galton the first when you're conversing two hundred fifty talks start with aristotle read those books now you're educated the second way you could be a success in life if you got to know three things bridge golf tennis ok four things and steve. welcome back because u.k. pm dres amaze arguably shambolic bricks at negotiations continued this week one m.p. and prime minister's questions raised the issue of how stable all of the lives of
4:43 am
millions living in britain with no one u.k. possible it's an alternative the prime minister wrote an open letter saying even citizens living locally in the u.k. today will be able to stay but this week my constituent françoise milne was told by u.k. vi that she had to wait until breaks it was done and then take your chances in the prime minister tell us. citizens living here just in the brick negotiation things are fine may said but don't break that will generally that's not the way the odds on favorite to replace tereza me as tory leader appears to see it before my rival befriends next goes to brussels rule should apply new kind of pain to her red loans because i fear on monday they're going to look a little bit pink may try to put his mind at ease after a week in which many in the u.k. house of commons think the minority leadership of britain could be nearing its end
4:44 am
even after a bunk defacto co. emission partner this is how u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn summed it up eighteen months since the referendum no answers to the questions. today they haven't yet contributed phase one no answers to the questions and the do you see appear to be routing the roast and telling you what to do this is big whether it's bricks it the national health service social care ripoff railways rising child poverty growing printer property or universal credit this government this government is unable to solve important issues facing this country the pm disagreed and then replied by waving a labor leaflet at him and that pushing around leaflets which say neighbor will cancel the existing student. strike the right honorable gentleman apologized like grossly misleading. but one apology she didn't
4:45 am
seek was from washington which she revealed didn't even consult her over a decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem condemned by one hundred twenty nations of the international norm aligned movement there was another middle east question from andrew mitchell former vice chair of the tory party about the world's greatest humanitarian crisis the whole house will support what the prime minister said last week in the middle east on her visit about the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe and yemen will she continue to provide them at so much pressure to lift both the humanitarian and the commercial blockade she said she would but have been entrées amazed policies in reality joining me now from bordeaux in southwestern france is journalist but that's a b. she's recently been in syria where she's been investigating u.k. government ties to what british mainstream media has for so long called moderate rebels vanessa thanks for being on going underground just before we go to syria
4:46 am
what about to resume condemning the blockade. of the ports in yemen surely a sign of a u.k. a good intentions in the middle east. unfortunately i can't agree that the u.k. has any good intentions in the middle east whatsoever they've been responsible in yemen for maintaining the blockade through the u.n. security council resolution two two one six that has effectively used an illegitimate illegitimate basis for its resolution the legitimacy of the twice resigned president hadi to maintain a blockade a humanitarian blockade against the yemeni people and we know that the british government successive successively have been profiting from the military industrial complex trade with saudi arabia and are also determining targets in the riyadh command and control center so any foe pretensions of humanitarian interests and yemen fall as far as i'm concerned the government that they're involved with
4:47 am
targeting they're just involved in the training of those totally lives just sciri of them i mean that you've done so much work i should say that we've been really have your work because you've been in syria recently surely your happy now that the state mandated b.b.c. has finally vindicated some of your work and said that the u.k. taxpayer is funding islam is terrorists that basically can be linked all the way back to islam of bin laden and and the destruction of the twin towers that's who the british taxpayer funds and that's what the b.b.c. is about i think it's very interesting that seven years into the conflict a b.b.c. say what shop until now has being very clearly colluding with the british state narrative which is effectively to demonize the syrian state the syrian leadership and the syrian national army this air in our bombing and its allies of course it's taken them seven years apparently to discover this link between u.k.
4:48 am
foreign office funding and terrorist. actions inside syria when to be fair organizations like r.t. like sputnik independent analysts and investigative journalists have been pointing this out for the last six years so it's let's say the b.b.c. are rather late coming to the party here of course and they get luzhin and would accuse the outlets including this journal of just being pro russian propaganda and difficult approach to iran and and the syrian government yeah of course but what we've actually thing i believe. are our program is effectively a controlled detonation a controlled media detonation they've reduced what is a mountain of evidence down to a mole hill a play they focused in on the free syrian place they've completely ignored the white home much that i've been investigating for the last three years that run a very sad or a run by a very similar operation of u.k.
4:49 am
foreign office funding via intermediaries both externally and on the ground in syria and who work alongside the free syrian place but not only the white helmets the local councils all over the entity what i would call shadow state and stays inside syria are being funded by very similar processes as the free syrian police but the focus of the b.b.c. panorama program was entirely on the free syrian police and of course on adam smith international that has a history of channel corruption profiteering from age contracts which is being extensively documented by even mainstream media in the u.k. ok but what you said about the white helmets white helmets but it is still routinely used it was used on the night of that banner over program the we're talking about why are they protected by the mainstream media here i think are the word you used is absolutely correct they are being protected and i honestly believe
4:50 am
that this b.b.c. . program let's remember b.b.c. panoramas history in syria let's remember saving syria's children and robert steers forensic analysis of entire report and its potential to be nothing more than propaganda so i genuinely believe this baby panorama program is to create a scapegoat which is the free syrian place adam smith international in this case while ignoring for me the much more important concept of the white home let's now if we compare the white helmet concept to for example the k.l.a. which morphed into the kosovo security corps in course of our it's a very similar process where saying the british government colluding with al-qaeda affiliates inside syria we're saying running alongside the white helmet organization which we know works hand in hand with most what front and various other extremists and stays inside syria it acts as a human share it acts as
4:51 am
a protection for the terrorist entity it acts as a. camouflage for the atrocities that they are committing against the syrian people so i think we're not saying a protection of the white home it's themselves per se inside syria what we're saying is a protection of the global concept we're saying the white home that's appearing in brazil in venezuela or in malaysia or in the philippines so this is not. a serious centric action this is a global issue that protecting the concept that protecting it to be fit for purpose for future military interventions what it does if they learned from the 1980's version of the the death squads u.s. that's going to goes in the hands of drummer go into what you seem to be suggesting is a whole new p.r. dimension to absolutely look if we look at the process if we look at what i believe
4:52 am
the white helmets do first of all they. infiltrated the country they built upon sectarian divisions that may or may not have access they gained the trust i mean james missouri who's they british trainer of the white home it says that very clearly the one entity that people will trust are the fire brigade or the first responders or the humanitarian organizations hence the creation of the white helmets in two thousand and thirteen so we see them infiltrate but then we also see them being in a market for reconstructing syria after the conflict and so securing british government by a gang right inside syria let's say and then they start entire process will be repeated sort of repeat spend cycle elsewhere in other global interventions and one thing that i wanted to make clear option the talk has been about this this funding stream through adam smith international to the free syrian police but what has been completely ignored in this program is the two hundred million that has gone from
4:53 am
the conflicts polity and security funds into the euphemistically called syrian opposition and i received the actual breakdown off those two hundred million. the insecurities and yes eighteen million into peace building and track to operations thirty two million to moderate armed groups now they're claiming it's non-lethal aid but how are they voting these moderately armed groups or those moderate extremist groups safety security and stability now that of course includes the free syrian place and the white helmets fifty four million they're making the claims that the white helmets have saved one hundred thousand lives whereas the documentation and the accountability for this claim they're also claiming that they are helping partnering seven million people inside syria well that's like a thirty five percent of the population that remains inside syria i would also challenge that claim. then we go on to political support fourteen million government livelihood and education in
4:54 am
a country that britain should. really be involved in under international law thirty nine million strategic communications twenty three million which claims to empower the moderate voices now they say again we know that funds have gone to an organization an ngo set up by x f c o employee carne ross who was also involved in the iraq war this row exactly who set up independent diplomat we know through the fire of declarations that a certain number of millions have gone through independent diplomat and we no independent diplomat have promoted the white homeless in two thousand and sixteen and then human rights and accountability twenty many and this is to develop independent media organizations for example syria that was set up by arc consultants say it was also involved in the creation of the white helmets so you know when we look at the extent and the complet the complexity of this
4:55 am
funding operation by the british government and the fact that if you put in a freedom of information request they claim of course plausible deniability that everything is being outsourced so they cannot provide information to back up the claims that they are making because it is all being outsourced which of course then gives them as we're saying now with b.b.c. panorama the plausible deniability in which they can buck off and lay the blame on the adam smith international in this case we often cover austerity issues here and you're talking about hundreds of millions of taxpayer pounds the question arises why on earth would the british government be making the british taxpayer funded people that are in effect linked to you know the person responsible for the bombing of the manchester arena or the westminster bombing here what does britain get out of funding people like the two hundred million has been sent to the syrian opposition with very little ability apparently to vet where that money actually.
4:56 am
goes to an eye for event in my articles but it goes to terrorist organizations or to terrorist run organizations such as the local councils in east aleppo which again connected to adam smith funding via tom kean project inside syria so we see a repeat of the same process as with the free syrian plates but through the local councils at the same time while we are giving millions to the white helmets where making severe cutbacks to our own. fire brigades for example our own national health service one of the reasons that grant fell was such a he is tragedy and this was a statement made by the fire brigades and selves was that because of various savage cutbacks they were unable to respond in the way that they should have been able to respond so this is an extraordinary situation where our own country is suffering from cutbacks from austerity from cut backs and our own national health service and
4:57 am
yet here we are pouring millions in syria into the health and education into an organization like the white helmets which is questionable questionable as to whether it is a terrorist affiliated organization or not and as i said we've seen it previously in kosovo and by the way james the missouri a a who was the trainer all of the white helmets was also present in kosovo we don't have coincidences here but as a really thank you and we invite representatives from all organizations and as i mentioned to tell their side of the story here i'm going underground and that's it for the show will be back on monday when the controversial judge appointed by embattled u.k. prime minister theresa may oversees an inquiry into one of the world's worst tower block fires in history just mentioned by this in that interview bill and keep in touch by social media with your money thirty six years to the days of u.s. backed death squads but maybe a thousand mostly women children of the elderly in what is called the worst massacre in modern latin american history was like
4:58 am
a mask you know somebody. no russian flag will fly at the twenty eight winter olympics but there will be russian athletes. the russian national anthem will play out during official ceremonies but founds will probably chant and acappella rendition you can take the athletes out of the country but can you take the country out of the athletes.
