just tweeted his announcement so goes off the cuff but certainly we would have been consulted if president bush or president clinton had done anything like this we'd have been consulted with 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 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
5:31 pm
does it mean for washington now everyone from isis day kited of the united nations 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. 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 nevertheless the close relationship between washington and london has always been very important 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
5:32 pm
a time when the world is in a very dangerous place away from the violence in the middle east as we take place in jerusalem 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
5:33 pm
market of the year and that's requires customs checks and it requires all sorts of other board is in relation to these constituency of working class protestants who for so long for them to the printer to surrender. but i don't think necessarily that the feeling of surrender or the terrorism is surrendered what i think they have done is pushed 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
5:34 pm
tariff barriers and so on and charges that if this new repercussions for the good friday agreement all these sorts of negotiations are 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 you said i'm 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 but it was very hard it was very tough it took decades of negotiation and compromise and you
5:35 pm
play with facts. at your peril you're joking about working hard by the way as well as customs you deserve what before you surprise of the record 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 then 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 trey's and i 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
5:36 pm
ireland peace process and not being hands on in a way that for example gordon brown and especially tony blair and john major before . they really got to you know northern ireland and peace in northern ireland should be the top of the prime ministers in training every day and it never has been ok let's turn to britain's other call in the south africa what do you. 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 others who fought so hard to defeat a party to see this corruption and cronyism from president zuma of south africa
5:37 pm
right the way down to his business. salita around around him and what has been clear is that money is being laundered abroad through british banks and other banks billions of rand and hundreds of millions of pounds coming through to buy hong kong and british banks have been up to their neck in it h.s.b.c. standard chartered bank of baroda is based here but also. the banks that have been part of the moving to 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 stanton there and barclays and probably other british high school we have same that are in 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 p.m.g. . mckinsey also s.a.p global brands also denied and the big it was
5:38 pm
a bit old vs in the end the struggle in mandela was finally freed to privatisation 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 of 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 a been a supporter of for decades as with my parents. they have got they've got to change or they're going to die and they're 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 taking well back in the the apartheid days i
5:39 pm
got a letter bomb which fortunately was faulty. more recently i've been trolled and attempts to kind of smear me because i'm speaking the truth and i'm doing 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 we 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 state mandated b.b.c.'s panorama program not mention the u.k. government funded why tell me. about what she discovered on a trip to syria and. silent nights or silent days. but this week. going underground.
5:40 pm
join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to the politics. i'm sure i'll see that. all see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free world cold and you're back to been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in last but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that story to us three. thousand zero zero zero
5:41 pm
zero zero i called russia. nice dry. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. that's good or financial survival guide upstaging yes i'm all going to start same thing at all these are. you sure it's still there you don't get it. oh heck no. repatriations would get arrested seven years. ago at the separate kaiser report. welcome back as u.k. pm dres m a's arguably shambolic bricks at negotiations continued this week one
5:42 pm
m.p. a prime minister's questions raised the issue of how stable are the lives of millions living in britain with no new k. possible it's an alternative the prime minister rowson open letter saying e.u. citizens living lawfully 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. east citizens living here just run in the brick negotiation things are fine may said but on regs that will generally that's not the way the odds on favorite to replace to raise me as tory leader appears to see it before my right elbow friends next goes to brussels wilshere plough new paints to her red lines because i fear on monday you need 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
5:43 pm
even off to a bunk defacto coalition partner this is how u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn summed it up eighteen months since the referendum no answers to the questions. to date they haven't yet concluded try is one no answer to the questions and the do you plea appear to be rooting the roost and telling you what to do this is big whether it's pricks it the national health service social care all rip off railways rising child poverty growing pensioner 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 putting round leaflets which failed labor will cancel the existing student. i'm the right sort of objective and i apologize. but one apology she didn't
5:44 pm
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. 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. will she continue to provide so much so much pressure to lift both the humanitarian and commercial blockade she said she would but have been arteries are made policies in reality joining me now from bordeaux in southwestern france is journalist but there's a belief she's recently been in syria where she's been investigating u.k. government toys to what british mainstream media has for so long called moderate rebels but there's a thanks for being on going on the ground just before we go to syria what about to
5:45 pm
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 from an taining 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 hardy she maintained a blockade a humanitarian blockade against the yemeni people and we know that the british government success successively have been profiting from the military industrial complex trade with saudi arabia and are also determining targets in the riyadh command and control centers so. any foe pretensions of humanitarian interests and yemen fall as far as i'm concerned i should say the government didn't know that
5:46 pm
they're involved in the targeting they're just involved in the training of those targeted lives just syria 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 is the miss terrorists that basically can be linked all the way back to osama bin laden 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 the baby say what shop until now has been 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
5:47 pm
between u.k. foreign office funding and terrorist factions 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 all the late coming to the party here busy deny of course any good luzhin and would accuse the outlets including this journal of just being pro russian propaganda and difficult to proctor in iran and and the syrian government yeah of course but what we've actually seen i believe and a panorama program is effectively a controlled detonation a controlled media detonation they've reduced what is a mountain of evidence down to a mole hill actively they focused in on the free syrian place they've completely ignored the white. moments that i've been investigating for the last three years that run a very set or a run by a very similar operation of u.k.
5:48 pm
foreign office funding via intermediaries both externally and on the ground in syria and who work alongside the freezer in place but not only the war at home it's the local councils all over the entity what i would call shadow state and today's 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 back channel corruption profiteering from aid 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 with talking about why are they protected by the mainstream media here i think are the
5:49 pm
word you used is absolutely correct they are being protected and i honestly believe 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 run. in a long flight the white helmet organization which we know works hand in hand with
5:50 pm
no support from various other extremists and stays inside syria it acts as a human share it acts as 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 issue year 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 learn from the 1980's version of the death squads u.s. death squads goes in the tens of dramatica 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
5:51 pm
the white helmets 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 carpet by a gang right inside syria let's say and then they states 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 is. about this this funding stream through adam smith international to the free syrian police but what has been
5:52 pm
completely ignored in this program is the two hundred million that has gone from the conflicts polity and security funds into the euphemistically called syrian opposition and i received the actual breakdown off those two hundred million. security fund 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 vetting these moderately armed groups or those moderate extremist groups safety security and stability now that of course includes the priests are in 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
5:53 pm
government livelihood and education in a country that britain shouldn't 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. who set up independent diplomat we know through the fire declarations that a certain number of millions have gone through independent diplomat and we no independent diplomat have promoted the white home that's 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 complex the complexity of this
5:54 pm
fund saying 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 back 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
5:55 pm
goes to and i prevent in my articles that it go to terrorist organizations or to terrorist run organizations such as the local councils in east aleppo which again connected to adam smith funding via the 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 was such as 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. and so this is an extraordinary situation where our own country is
5:56 pm
suffering from cutbacks from austerity from cut backs and our own national health service and 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 a friday i did organization or not and as i said we've seen it previously in kosovo and by the way james limits your area who was the trainer all of the white helmets was also present and also we don't have coincidences here but that's 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 with a controversial judge appointed by embattled u.k. prime minister theresa may overseas an inquiry into one of the world's worst fires in history just mentioned by the way in that interview till then keep in touch by social media with your money thirty six days of u.s. backed death squads thousand mostly women children of the elderly in what is being called the worst massacre in modern latin american history look
5:57 pm
5:58 pm
thieves in my complicity is going to not know phil saviano maybe you know john. the only palestinians who gets the most hope from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is about those who were on the vision that really could give us. i know it is unfair advantage to have to display any of the most knowledge to how i'm going to compete in gaza as you do more commitments last time could result. of a gun some is not so is not i can quit place is not as good a country. church as if the minister. of among us well loves. you that's good at the message this is. just the culture. of the cult of less sure of. our secular
5:59 pm
christmas. just a little and biased from the muslim of oneself to be a little. mostly helpless fossil. play almost anything for the members of the base cannot affect our battery johnson on based on our much less credit tightening we can absolutely not blast how we're sliced from catholic matter how on amanita. from michelle. to fucking i can now move he was almost feeling now we could fuck him on a cool secert in the sun enough hours before you go to sleep i don't want to go to the snooze in the my car forces in there to do whatever the stupid. sassy tsunami of our government allows us. to see others who are as follows.
6:00 pm
two protesters are killed and more than a thousand injured as violence escalates between israelis and palestinians our correspondent was caught up in the clashes in jerusalem. so we're here on the middle of a. as you can hear way of having some tear gas that's being shot all this. another attempt to undermine trump a c.n.n. runs a full story on alleged conniving between translation team and wiki leaks we pick apart other stories that claim to be the smoking gun of collusion with russia. and sweden's chief prosecutor claim to stockholm district populated almost entirely by migrants is fast becoming a war zone.
