well you start it's as you probably know it's written by emotion and then cabinet and i think it's just sort of a modern day waiting for god oh really the pair of them came up with this absolutely brilliant premise which is the nineteen sixty nine don't know camel film performance people may know the stars james fox and mick jagger don't have all had this idea of using real villains it was part of this new wave of of british cinema and so he he reached out into the underworld to get as many connections with with real life gangsters and chaps is he as he could. quite good friends with james fox he plays this devlin the gangs the character in performance directed him in the kid in the movies i made him and i heard all sorts of fantastic stories about how james had to hang around with these south london gangsters and learn to box and you know learn the parlance and be one of the chaps so in. the premise for performers is

that. to gangsta's of been asked of all dition for donald camel for this nine hundred sixty s. art film and basically you have these two chaps in an in their very alien and uncomfortable environment for them sitting in a director in a carson director's waiting room about to vision and it's about the parlance between them and how they're you know the discussions and how they put the world to rights where they chat and then and then don the camels assistance turns up and starts soaking them so them about bun well and francis bacon and nick rogue and then no no no and it was the was the co-director of performance but it was a set more done a camel film. but he's assistant comes in and basically talks them about high art and tries to get to strip naked which you know they they do or don't do which is on this that's really that's where that is what we get into the nexus between the gangsters and the and the politics and all the rest in

a second but so your reaction to her performance watching the film similar to that of the reaction from irvine welsh and oh it's a cult movie i've seen it a bunch of times i saw it last i saw it was. every time it's on as a prince you know they showed the electric in portobello road about two years ago and i went with neil a boat is a friend of mine the playwright we both went to see that the print of performance you know tied up in other print because the film was banned and then and then so and then and then it actually seeing it projected is a bit of a treat but and then it was reality than some bits were cut and sometimes the version east is the easy broadcast doesn't have a lot of the scenes in it that move the violence point to scenes in. i mean it's it's a seminal film for all sorts of reasons but it's a have that to use that as the basis to sort of. the establishment and as

a premise for a sort of comedy of manners is quite brilliant take us back to that time because the film came out towards the end of that. where it's politics yeah i think he saw the apex of it really because at the time everybody people have heard the rumors about. the craze and their connections with the aristocracy and stories are the art that if you will that soak about it and i think we will anyway but it was a time when the government could tell the sunday mirror would do a story about a fair between between one of the cronies graham and booth we are looking into that yes lord i presume we can i don't know what their cries are around anymore and maybe you know you said it really well now you ask i didn't tell you about me but you had a little briefly affair actually that's in the long it's it was touched upon in legends the crate and there's there are these very strong connections between the cracks of. the underworld in the success of the world really and this

this idea that then. villains start to get involved in the arts which is only a matter of time before they are involved with villains and i think this this progression of the on camera were made as a conceptual artist and and his film was going to be about the jew aleksey of man and and the criminal fraternity reflected that so basically go on to really support for people to be in his film with you when you do see a jump indian who then went on to become. quite a few films after that he'd done a stretch for manslaughter you know he killed a man in. your club. you know was was a bit of a face and he's if he's first appearance in a in a feature film there's a whole bunch of them they had pretty substantial rap sheets so the idea that everybody in it that wasn't james fox is a real villain and ironically enough is something that goes. which he did with lock

stock but something that's a bit more accessible and he's funny and self-effacing with the casting of of lenny maclean and all the other chaps that he used in in his debut film so i think there's a bit synergy with with the whole thing you mentioned the manslaughter because there was violence they were new generation seeing it in the french way to say we don't have the gangsters and the phrase back and extract i mean they like the bank because the big nexus without i doubt it i think there's a huge shift in dynamics between fringe theatre and whatever bank is doing i don't think bankers understand that fringe theory exists and the other thing to be many bank is in there i mean there's this idea that you know there's there's money laundering in there maybe you know maybe some of the criminal underworld in the sixty's or. pave the way for what some of the banking on the world do bit later on but i think i think it's all about ego i think really you can't become wealthy

without because without affecting your ego something there are i've learned over the years with. you know being in that environment and seeing friends around but i think it also happens if you're if you're a villain if you become if you become powerful you want to become famous and so the craze had david bailey take a photograph you know those famous or comic you know one in front of the other this is the sort of outline of that that said david bowie portrait done in his studio because the crazed thought that they were they were celebrities now and the idea that they are of course more there are going to be a movie star you know that that that's of course that's the next step some is going to be in a film and the idea that the in. a scene or brought brought down to them what's interesting about the play you know why it's so funny is because obviously they can act they don't react they have one of them does a speech about contact. of an apprentice i have never been with oh. ask anyone i've

never been to of and they are really that that would be been said in a theater full of you know. full of actors and but the idea that the celebrity is the thing whether you're a banker or whether you own a. chain of hardware store shops or or whether whether you are the chairman of a football club you know what you want it's about being famous it's about that ego and i think that's what's interesting about even the title performance is that is that the villains are there performing all the time and the great thing about the plays it that's what sets you up with your comedy of manners because you have to be put in front of at all times i'm a villain i'm one of the chaps i don't want to look at pictures of francis bacon and get naked in front of you chris that's not what we do is there is there's never everybody has got a front so who is more powerful than we are to see world or the gangster world i mean charlie riches in venice is that he claims of bug been bugging harold wilson

the lead the prime minister that was in power around the time of the game how much who's more part of the arts world or the political it's at the thing about gangsters it is you never eat never have you never call him a liar you know so charlie which isn't much say that you'd have to go oh yeah charlie says you wouldn't actually because i will go on their way that you were saying and i don't know what we're not so i never asked and i didn't want to spend but you don't whereas if you do it legitimately you're called to account the thing about the world of the world is that you know it will change the world i don't know if it will but it does it does happen it just push things in a certain direction people need media people need people who. is storytelling and storytelling informs and affects people and i think i think the government realized and gangstas realize that if you can beat a friendly face in a in a film if you can be. whether you want all the other then you're going to you're

going to cut more favor with the public you know i mean so i don't know that what i do know is i don't know much about harry potter but you were in that report of yes so it was the x. rays of me read all of her reporting. your fault about the ascent of to resume the i don't know if she's in league with a bunch of wizards and. let's see where the chair where the trees but what i do know a lot of things very ironic is that obviously she does a lot for her films but she has the worst in history of made and i once treasure my i think the irony of it is really rich and i want to be speaks up on that thank you thank you and bruce are available you can go and see the performance at the edinburgh fringe festival from august in scotland that is after the break as the u.s. navy ship is warning shots of the iranian boats in the persian gulf we'll split. if

welcome back here in the u.k. prime minister of tourism a has taken robbie good from the state mandated b.b.c. to be her communications director across the pond drums new communications chief has a different background antony scaramucci who speaks of political in a self-styled unconventional political convention in california within the next one hundred hours is very much of the swamp of a trump said he wanted to drain the new white house communications director now tapped for the fourth time by team drum is a wall street hedge fund manager and goldman sachs alumnus expertise that is arguably suited to a climate of mainstream media speculation and watergate theory now after graduating from harvard law school scaramucci began his career at goldman sachs in one thousand nine hundred nine but after two years was fired only to be rehired by the same company months later after leaving in one thousand nine hundred seven before

the asian financial crisis he started sky bridge capital now with offices in new york zurich and florida he's written several books including goodbye gordon gekko how to find your fortune without using your soul to the little book of hedge funds and he's also a loyal republican with spawn's with democrats in the past including this interaction with the then incumbent president barack obama and i represent the wall street community we have felt like opinion maybe you don't feel like you're whacking us with a stick but we certainly feel like we've been whacked with a stick but like many loyal republicans scaramucci hasn't been certain loyal to the current commander in chief attacking trump as well as showing support for wiki leaks disgraced hillary clinton calling her incredibly competent in fact his twitter account shows that beyond just being anti trumpy different from the republican base on a wide range of issues in the past the mooch has tweeted that he is and the death

penalty pro gun control pro choice a strong believer in climate change and against her. mexico border wall on russia scaramucci is with the deep state tweeting that one should follow altera roads they lead not just to damascus but to moscow but is he totally committed to the obama clinton strategy of de facto supporting. al-qaeda linked groups against damascus is he really committed to obama's leadership president obama did say that he was drawing a red line and then he took it away since the wrong message to our adversaries not just the syrian government but people around the world and so i think he had to adapt the play here scaramucci is republican evangelism arguably shows in his donations he was a proponent of the supreme court's twenty ten citizens united decision that allowed big money to attempt to rig elections he said of the decision that it activated a sleeper cell of hedge fund managers against obama allowing them to use their capital to influence the debate and since then he's donated vast amounts of money

to various political campaigns before maxing out his donations to trump at one hundred thousand dollars he raised money for two other twenty sixteen republican presidential candidates scott walker and jeb bush his head and also donated money to mitt romney in two thousand and twelve and call ruben twenty thirteen older nations that would have been illegal before the citizens united decision but despite his donation scaramucci has little to no experience in political combs aside from numerous appearances on the. fox network but if you're looking for a reason as to why trump has scaramucci some point with success in helping to force the resignations of staff from c.n.n. over an inaccurate story about his ties to russia trump advisors have said that he loved the way the mooch handled the situation and still talks about it the president then even tweeted about the event having what about all the other phony stories they do. ability to force news organizations to back down is why he hinted

at a job at the b.b.c. back in twenty sixteen. stating of don't trump become the next president i'm looking forward to the b.b.c. helping me find a flat somewhere in london. this week washington again prepared for more sanctions against countries not in line with us or germany power there was legislation this week that prevents even president donald trump from vetoing sanctions against countries perceived as enemies of u.s. politicians in congress one of the countries in the usa cites is middle east superpower iran continually destabilized by successive u.k. governments until the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution blessed or cursed with some of the largest known reserves of oil and gas in the world iran has been the only charm offensive in europe sending its foreign minister mama gerry fifty e.u. capitals but not to london to increase ties with the world's largest trade bloc

well we've caught up with one of iran's most senior clerics grand ayatollah sheikh most an iraqi he is a member of iran's assembly of experts which has the power to appoint and dismiss iran's head of state such as current leader of the islamic revolution ali khamenei with me as grand ayatollah shaikh most an iraqi and thanks so much for speaking to me grand ayatollah let's begin with the terrible figures coming from the middle east of numbers of wounded at a mosque maybe a thousand since israel on july fourteenth put the metal detectors up your reaction . smell of the money. in the name of god the most gracious the most compassionate or the issue of the mosque is a major issue in the world or it doesn't only concern the palestinians not just the muslim world of the it's an issue that concerns humanity and muslims have been praying for hundreds of years and a lot some are asking for the israelis to harm and prevent the palestinians to

break goes against the most basic of human rights we see that the u.s. really yorkie patient has resulted in the killing in torturing of the palestinian people right from its creation if they impose themselves with violence and no doubt this behavior from them will not stop unless there is a severe response not just from the palestinians but also from the muslim world and anyone who defends human rights and who wants justice and peace why are men on a mission identity or center on british media it is the palestinians doing the violence and it is called temple mount not a leg some more will not. be back we see that the western media does not give an accurate portrayal of events and this has a negative impact against their own citizens. they are not happy for happy ha. ha

been happening but he will because the inaccurate coverage doesn't just affect those that are being oppressed and more but it's also denies that people of the world demand the truth of what is happening and the people of america and europe supports human rights and oppose oppression so if the coverage is inaccurate this may lead them to support the brushes and not the oppressed but we for the happy of the israelis have not defined their borders and and they came and occupied palestine and that palestine has been there for hundreds of years journeymen jews have also been living in palestine for the hundreds of years or one time they were considered as part of the palestinian. asian at the scene even in iran there are jews who live with freedoms and rights and they are represented in the iranian parliament scene jews have lived in muslim lands for hundreds of years along with the same rights when the let's let me near to sin in part to morrow muslimeen muslim one we know that both saudi arabia and qatar have relations with

israel why does the islamic republic support cut which currently has relations with israel we have proof of the do. through and loom so. that the sort of islamic republic of iran the defense of all those who are oppressed whether it is crop art or saudi arabia if saudi arabia were being oppressed by anyone it is iran's duty to defend them but here we see that saudi arabia of forcefully imposing demands you that's are unacceptable the saudis want to follow what ever they all of them to do saudi arabia has done this towards yemen as well and trying to force them under their will and with this is unacceptable at this and it's strange that the western nations are supporting saudi arabia with no logic and rationality model of the. us are odiot enough on this road. now.

prime minister to resume wants to overthrow the government or has wanted to overthrow the government of syria for a number of years just to clear things up for our audience why does a holy person like yourself support a secular system in syria the secular government of president assad. only walk of the syrian government has stood up against the biggest issue affecting the world today and that is the palestinian cause as low. as syria did not stand by the palestinian resistance and if they did not create a barrier to the aspirations of israel then israel would have taken control of the entire middle east and would now be on the borders of iran. so this stance of theirs is of utmost importance and it's iran's religious and moral duty to support syria and even though it has many differences that one the serious support of resistance groups especially in the south of lebanon is in the interests of the

people of the region. there been so many reports of britain and israel backing al-qaeda linked groups in syria do you welcome donald trump's decision to stop cia funding for al qaeda and isis linked groups fighting assad in syria. it is unfortunate that the us has proven it is untruthful. even donald trump had previously attacked obama's administration for supporting and creating isis but right now we see that the u.s. is supporting isis and the iraqi soldiers have witnessed on many occasions how u.s. helicopters would come and provide weapons and other provisions to isis so that they can continue fighting their r.v. nation and this at the same time the u.s. claims they are fighting isis and this double standard from the u.s. prevents us from trusting them we believe that the terrorism in the region is

because of america's policies around the world with your drug of human rights what about human rights in iran. in equality under your president rouhani has increased under his presidency of course he's been reelected under president of and in a judge who i interviewed interim measure to inequality fell in his final four years how dangerous is the inequality problem right now under rouhani his policies of privatization in iran and giving more money too. the rich private all agog in her. fear there are always political differences each group accuses the other of not doing a good job and this is natural during election time however the truth is that there aren't a lot of differences between rouhani. and a car to meet leadership and to be there on major political policies that's no

administration can overrule except for a few limited number of things so the accusations and month slinging between political groups are mostly political spin and not necessarily true yes there are economic difficulties but overall the economic situation is good. the middle class make up seventy percent of the country the wealthy class make up twenty percent and the poor make up ten percent but there are societal and governmental institutions that take care of those under the poverty line. and talk a little good many are just finally this week the us congress discusses sanctions on russia trump one sanctions it seems on iran iran has always had good relations with the cuban revolution sanctions good for iran apart from says civil aviation of course but dissensions may countries throw in their current drops in the sea. if

a country makes clever political decisions then they would be able to turn the sanctions imposed on them into were golden opportunity to develop their nation and to rely upon themselves the developments that have taken place in iran whilst under sanctions may not have ever happened when if sanctions were not imposed on it in iran is one of five leading nations in terms of their scientific developments. and we believe that sanctions on russia could benefit them of course russia is a very strong nation and its a superpower if you so the sanctions against russia by the us. in some european nations will only make russia more independent and even cuba and other nations like venezuela off free and sovereign nations and they don't want to be on the americans controlled. kind of the grand ayatollah shaikh was an iraqi thank you very much. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of this season will be back with
