of what he described as animals and claims he was trying to garner support for a new bill that would prevent palestinian families from visiting prisoners in israel the israeli parliament's media services is so far to climb to comment on has than is certainly no stranger to publicize stunts a member of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu said you could party as an first gain notoriety with a godfather style political advertisement you also tried to discredit a leftwing ngo by creating a false identity in order to provide made up testimony and he once threatened to execute the family of an alleged palestinian criminal in a facebook feed. the red cross which was escorting that bus there from garza to the israeli prison have rounded on the israeli authorities for failing to prevent the incident the charity said it was the duty of officials to ensure family safety during visits. protecting human dignity of human hearing you're going to see action that is extremely important to us so people being treated this way south to one of

washington foreign policy clearly washington are running the show. now the north african country of tunisia is demanding an apology from the united arab emirates it's offer the country's emirates airlines prevented female chinese ians from boarding flights to the u.a.e. last friday citing a threat of terrorism a move that caused widespread. i just i'm she believed why would i go to a country that wonder exactly if that is the case and we should also be opposed visas on the united arab emirates. these suppressions are
9:40 am
a force preventing an arab resisting arab countries is unacceptable when we see the westerners going from country to country freely the most rigid is one of the tunisian state must defend the rights of two new zealand women and force the u.s. to apologize. for the bomb was actually lifted the same day the u.s. ambassador was summoned and gulf states foreign minister later then tweeted that the u.a.e. does respect and value in women adding that they want to avoid any misunderstanding but that wasn't enough fortune is here which retaliated by banning all emirates flights from landing at its airports this tweet was posted in fact by b. airlines shortly afterwards telling customers that flights were suspended indefinitely we talked with an asian blogger and activist who said the move was insulting on many levels consider that what happened is
9:41 am
lation off to the nation women rights but it's a violation of women rights and general the spokesperson for the national presidency talk about security problems but this doesn't trust what happened if a small female babies were not allowed to go on planes i don't think that. our. generation government is still asking for official apology and it happened under the pressure of people here in tunisia. in other news the russian foreign minister has had a frank exchange with his american counterpart over washington's approach towards north korea the two spoke by phone with the details released by the russian foreign ministry. so again lavrov pointed out once again that heightening tensions over the korean peninsula through washington's aggressive rhetoric towards pyongyang
9:42 am
stepping up military preparations in the region is unacceptable a phone call took place around the same time the u.s. sanctioned a two top north korean officials who were allegedly involved in the country's ballistic missile program but in the phone call for mr lavrov mentioned the u.s. stepping up its military preparations in the region and he was likely referring to recent military exercises and even south korea has suggested postponing military drills until after the olympics but this proposal was swiftly rejected by secretary tillerson. it is possible for south korea and the us to review the possibility of postponing the exercises and i have made such a suggestion to the us and the us is currently reviewing them but these exercises have been ongoing for many years i'm not aware of any plans to change what is scheduled fiery rhetoric between washington and pyongyang has kept the international community on its toes for quite some time now but let's take a quick look at a recap the year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has
9:43 am
failed united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies our suspected leader kim didn't own but said the u.s. would be unhappy to witness north korea's strategic power on its independence day and called for frequently sending big and small new packages they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see the forthcoming measures to be taken by the d.p. r. k. will cost the us the greatest pain and suffering it has ever gone through in its entire history but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. who controlled the man who had the range to talk with. the little rocket man rocket fuel for the american. is a sick puppy russia has repeatedly offered to mediate the situation but we've been
9:44 am
hearing mixed messages from the trumpet ministration so it's unclear whether this phone call will make any difference whatsoever but it definitely seems like quite the positive direction. north korea is also proving to be a troublesome topic for a french children's magazine has been pulled from the shelves over an article which did suggest the country wasn't a real state and it said the same to you about israel prompting strong complaints from jewish groups with more in paris is shown it to ski. a french children's educational magazine has provoked a firestorm of criticism here in france now in the latest edition of the o p it features a fact sheet for children which says we call these one hundred and ninety seven countries states like france germany and algeria you see the magazine then goes on to suggest that not all of the countries in the world agree that israel and north korea all real states the magazine has since being withdrawn from sale here
9:45 am
in france and the publisher has apologized they go on to say that this does not mean that they do not recognize the existence of israel yet that apology made silly the no mention of tool of north korea well we've been gauging reaction on the streets of paris to what people think about this publication i just would like you to hazard a guess how many countries you think there are in the world. two hundred fifty. three hundred maybe tan closer to two hundred. three hundred. six hundred forty six following of three hundred ninety five. magazine in france for children it says that not all of these countries all real cause i want you to have a guess what ones would spring to mind for you smaller countries because expanding
9:46 am
ukraine maybe i don't know what countries wouldn't be a real country herds of the kurdistan that would necessarily be america birth of the country i don't know you start me on that one i'm sorry ok this magazine says that israel and north korea are not real countries what's your reaction to that or i think that's fake news i don't take so what about israel. as a country i would never say they were real countries i wouldn't think there would have. in france that doesn't sound very educational. you're watching international thanks me company softening we're going to be back with more news here in just a behind and. it's all to see we have a great seem to we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in
9:47 am
one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.t. . 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 call him in that steroids were three. thousand no joke i was only kidding here i called russia. nice dry. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. when i was still seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out these days become advocates and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look
9:48 am
for common ground. i'm actually town say and where in north kensington location of the grenfell tower atrocity this is going underground of the day u.k. opposition leader jeremy corbyn introduces hip hop to run the jewels at this year's glastonbury festival in the southwest of england coming up in the show we asked former u.k. counter-terror minister out west whether only the army on the streets of aliens and police with guns can save tories amazing britain from british foreign policy and the next terror attack and there's another london block is evacuated ten days after
9:49 am
a mass killing at the tower amidst one of the poorest communities in one of the richest in the world we ask a question. of british governments guilty of deliberate and systematic social plans ing of british cities we speak to director paulson about his new film dispossession the great social housing swindle seventy two hours since the day of rage how the people are rising up against social cleansing of the ukase working classes from alleged u.k. government cover ups to u.s. backed torture in yemen we uncover some of this week's news all this and more coming up in today's going underground but first the politicize ation of the grand catastrophe in london is becoming clearer coverage of the fire which left so many dead in the poorest community in one of the richest areas on earth initially included voices like this what do i want to happen i want to be a revolution in this country also the media the mainstream you don't deserve to be to i mean we should be campaigning not to go but to the b.b.c.
9:50 am
as mouthpieces for this corrupt government people need a revolution in this country and if any other country that had done been a revolution we've seen how you the mainstream media responded to for two years you've hounded demonize them. jeremy corbett and you said he was unelectable he can't be there's no possibility of this man being lifted and you created that narrative that people actually believed for a while but what this election has done is shown that people you knew there were best to you and the other billionaires to the media owners and rupert murdoch. and that is the vote of confidence not in terms of generally called but it just misses me but it also stands to use the mainstream media. i didn't buy any of the major media rapidly coverage would turn to this. good afternoon from west london where the queen and prince william have been visiting people affected by the terrible fire that. engulfed grenfell and then the charity single initiative for going on the record conservative music mogul i honestly. believe.
9:51 am
i mean chills it sounds beautiful absolutely beautiful the country will now have to wait for a public inquiry which will report directly to number ten where the former u.k. housing minister gavin barwell accused of breaking promises on fire safety works to raise a maze chief of staff we'll have more on grandfather and its implications later in the show but now we go to outside the british parliament to talk to lord west former minister for security and counterterrorism in the wake of seemingly one terror attack after another on britain. before we get to the latest counter terror initiatives police with machine guns on the streets on the streets id cards mass surveillance is the way we're going to combat terrorism and i says in britain i don't think it is the right way of combating it doesn't mean you don't need some policeman with weapons doesn't need you mean you don't need some sort of
9:52 am
surveillance but i think doing that all mass is obscene what you don't want it means that all of these various terrorists or various persuasions of one if we come that sort of society and i certainly don't want to live in a country like that one of the things i love about this come. is that most of the policemen don't carry weapons that is very unusual in most countries police all carry weapons and i rather like the fact they don't and i think that we are retrograde step to go down that road but immediately. secretary started her statement actually went to resume started speaking out of the fins repack incident alone the london bridge attack was to talk about internet surveillance on the helicopter surveillance we're obviously now suffering from is it all about the internet not the twenty thousand police officers that were sacked the answer is not all about it's about a whole raft of things i think in terms of internet surveillance i'm i'm very glad we got the investigation through. very inaptly name the snoopers charter i mean actually not doing it would have been a charter for more people being killed in court. the people who are using the
9:53 am
investigative powers bill a totally uninterested what's in your email i mean i could be having affair with thirty different women it would give it would give a damn what they would be interested in is if i was regularly in contact with a known bomb maker in yemen. then they would have to ask bush and they say he's speaking to him every day and he's speaking to a man we know who actually planted a bomb in new york and went inside and. you know i was actually wise at this going on would you give us permission to look at what's in the in his e-mails the area is currently in u.s. backed operations over syria right now with civilian casualties being reported every other day is it time for the u.k. to work with the syrian government in trying to attack isis in syria. have a track record on this as you know i believe that our whole policy in terms of how we've dealt with assad has been bad assad is a fairly nasty disgusting man. he is a fact of life on the ground some of the opposition forces we are dealing with some
9:54 am
of the more hardcore than al qaida itself we call them that are going to democratic forces back back to the area and it was just as obviously the libyan blowback which we saw in. when it comes to the i mean what you just been saying about syria is a bit like what donald trump was saying when he was running for president and now shot down a syrian. president. he shot down a syrian plane over syrian airspace russia has now threatened any plane west of euphrates river american and british planes now flying over not at the invitation of the syrian government like russian. syrian planes should britain stop flying over syrian airspace like australia has decided i fear it being. i mean what the australians have stopped there because the risk of australian plane being shot down and i can understand that i think right now over there we've got to be more robust
9:55 am
in that with the americans but what invading another country's airspace with crucial is that we deal with particularly sad. control people which we were doing before to make sure that there's the conflict that has got to be done and i think the shooting down of a syrian plane i personally think it's not a very clever thing to have done at all the syrian air defense system is still pretty well there they have triple digits very very capable surface to air missiles and i think we're very we're in a very dangerous position and we need to look at this very closely but there's no doubt that the military attrition of. this is making them lose ground so they can no longer claim they have a caliphate it is important and and the there is no doubt that without the element the mixture of forces on the ground could not actually achieve it because i mean if we and the americans went in we could easily take it over but then you got
9:56 am
a problem what the hell do you do then and i don't believe. you know you don't do it but we are. mainly american. i don't believe we would be able to stop dying having the caliph and i think that is important but within hours of saying they shoot down. down in a rainy unmade drone should britain should raise or maybe part of an anti iran coalition have signaled obviously again as the best one of the best. things that was signed in the last few years was the agreement with iran about the production hugo weapons and when trump said he was against that really worries me like he's done nothing yet. but i think i think we have not dealt with iran very cleverly now admittedly they support a lot of terrorism but actually basing their country that they were on they were very good and i think they could be very interesting and i think to demonize them constantly is not clever and just fine because the brakes of negotiations are going
9:57 am
on here on the record as saying you heard the m o d here like headless chickens what sort of preparation military preparations go into bricks and i mean a trident submarine still able to flick swim around in the e.u. waters of the bricks is the answer that one is yes but that's i think my point is that actually i don't think there'd been yes exactly i don't think there'd been any i don't think anyone in the immediate thought oh gosh we might actually leave and i don't think and this is very unusual because one thing that the military good at is lots of water so you can bet your bottom dollar where we're fighting anywhere we have what if after what if one of what if and i don't think anything has been done and you could tell that from when they were asking questions about what this meant for europe i mean i am sure they'll deny this by the way and i'm very concerned that there's no doubt for the last seventy years the united states and britain have ensured the safety and security of europe because of the count's we've had in our defense because of what america is saying i'm not sure that is any longer the case
9:58 am
and that is very worrying because the security of europe is extremely important for our nation extremely important. and i think we need a lot of thought about what this all means to us us told. thank you. jeremy corbin's address to eunice and the u.k.'s biggest public service union in the past twenty four hours wasn't mentioned much in mainstream media as well as the fact that he is the first labor leader in ten years to be the number one choice for britain's prime minister but what other stories have been lost in the other verse three of bricks at the conservative deal with the d u p and the queen's speech well here is going on the grounds deputy editor sebastian packer reporting on some of the week's buried news. the u.k. was absolutely sweating its boris johnson's off this week with a heatwave reaching from the north to the most southern points of england where the presenters took great care to point out high pollen counts but didn't focus so much
9:59 am
on high ozone and particular levels those are the ones that kill millions of people every year but maybe that's because defra allegedly covered up the ad pollution in parts of england breach levels this week with michael gove teresa mayes new minister for the environment having less to say on the matter and the new conservative chief of staff captain paul well and also about ignoring reports on fire safety in tower blocks. in london amidst a climate of political uncertainty the queen forecast a royal banquet of bracks it filled promises in a strangely pro e crown and the interim prime minister tereza may attempt to apologize to some of the burning injustices that she was supposed to correct even if the foreign secretary sister thinks that the prime minister is a victim of these injustices as well it's like she's one of the victims of the fire as well because she can do nothing right i'm not sure which one of the interviews
10:00 am
was was her or her brothers we are we are looking at is. measures to. well you know in the usa well hurricane trump has been burning up a storm over north korea and cuba he's kept his fingers firmly off the buttons of twitter about his decision to send found was more troops to afghanistan just one of the broken campaign promises that lit the right to his presidency we are going to and the era of nation building and instead focus on destroying destroying destroy isis funny because he shot down two syrian aircraft in the past week maybe all this intervention is a good way to please the military industrial complex and to justify the need trillion dollar defense budget over in the middle east where we need study has revealed that a reign of terror.
