2:48 pm
rising up against social cleansing of the u.k. working classes from alleged u.k. government cover ups to u.s. backed torture in yemen we uncover some of this week's. all this and more coming up in today's going underground but first the. 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 the media the mainstream you don't deserve to be did i mean we should be campaigning but to the b.b.c. as mouthpieces for this corrupt government you mean people need a revolution in this country and if any other country did it done been a revolution we've seen are you the mainstream media responding to for two years you've hounded demonize them jeremy 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 are immune they're in
2:49 pm
bulletproof vests to you and the other billionaire sort of media owners and rupert murdoch. and that is the vote of confidence not in terms of joining the call but it dismisses men but it also stands out to you as the mainstream media. i didn't find you the mainstream 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 town and then the charity single initiative from an on the record conservative music mogul i honestly. believe. 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 well accused of breaking promises on fire safety works to raise a maze chief of staff we'll have more on grenfell and its implications later in the
2:50 pm
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. 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 surveillance but i think doing that all mass is obviously 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 country is that most of the policeman 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
2:51 pm
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 powers bill through. very inaptly name the snoopers charter i mean actually not doing it would have been a charter for more people being killed and called out. the people who are using the investigative powers bill a totally uninterested what's in your email i mean i could be having an 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
2:52 pm
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 of the more hardcore than al qaida itself we call them that are gone democratic forces backed back in the area and it was the libyan blowback which we saw in the area in the ground. when it comes to the i mean what you just been saying about syria is a bit like what donald trump is saying when he was running for president and now shut down as. is the president. he shot down
2:53 pm
a syrian plane over syrian airspace russia is now threatened any plane west of your freight 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 of 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 pilots are over there we've got to be more robust than 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
2:54 pm
pretty well there they have triple digits that's 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 a problem what the hell do you do then and i don't believe we should have agreed. it's like we've done that before and don't do it but we. mainly american air power but little bit of. i don't believe we would be able to stop dying having the caliphate and i think that is important but within hours of saying they shoot down . down in a rainy and made drone should britain should raise or maybe part of an anti iran
2:55 pm
coalition have signaled obviously the best one of the best. things that was signed in the last few years was the agreement with iran about the production you but 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 basically they're a country that 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 bricks of negotiations are going on here on the record as saying. here like headless chickens what sort of preparation military preparations go into bricks and i mean the trident submarine still able to. flick swim around in the e.u. waters off the brits and 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
2:56 pm
i don't think anyone in the immediate thought we might actually leave and i do 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 to europe i mean i am sure they will deny this by the way surely will. 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 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 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
2:57 pm
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 the conservative deal with 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 count but didn't focus so much 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
2:58 pm
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 strange and the interim prime minister theresa may attempt to apologize to some of the burning injustice is that show. she was supposed to correct even if the foreign secretary sister thinks that the prime minister is of this is 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 was her or her brothers we are we are looking at is. measures to. you know you're. in the usa while hurricane trump has been burning up a storm over north korea and cuba he's kept his fingers firmly off the bottoms of twitter about his decision to send found was more troops to afghanistan just one of

the broken campaign promises that litter the right to his presidency we are going to and the era of nation building and instead focus on just strongly strongly does strongly isis funny that 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 near trillion dollar defense budget over in the middle east where a new study has revealed that a reign of terror and showers of bombs from nato was have killed an estimated four million muslims since one nine hundred ninety there are allegations of kidnap and. torture of yemeni citizens by close u.s. allies the u.a.e. while the us are arming u.a.e. forces and teaching them how to bomb they've also had quite a bit of experience in torture as well but questions are being raised over whether information forcibly cleaned by those incarcerated in these camps is being used to
