who managed to stick fast in front of america and perhaps he is the one who created north korea this is little country you know into a nuclear power mystic missiles power and they say ok you know you want to attack me you will come i have that deterrent weapon stuff i have the missiles the way we can hit you and deeply inside united states we can hit your allies so threat doesn't affect us we are now very strong so what they can do to him if he if they bomb him for example he will bomb japan he will bomb south korea you know the allies united states a lot and los angeles maybe and also me i mean maybe even even new york he got the capital it is now so this is this is you know that's why many people have him in the middle east when we write an article about north korea about its leader it is

the most. they're off to kill somebody seriously you know imagine that in gaza for example figure a joke in gaza there was a show where i'm out of a distance of you know small to sort of that he put the picture. in his the front to visit his son and they say eighty percent discount for the could be a north korean so somebody else can but there's no north korean and gaza they said they would come. a little world maybe in twenty eight happy new year. after the break we'll be going to going underground regular lembit open for the liberal democrat m.p. about more domestic issues both back in twenty seven then looking forward to a turbulent twenty eighteen for your ip that lies ahead of us.

how does it feel to be. the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison and i would just do it on my guess is you know b.o.b. as a patient i don't know what comes in anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you do the charge or not they're actually paying us to put it back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she could is behind such success. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bush for about seven years and this

is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got. through .

the all school fifty process is now underway. to be honest. i am basile and thousands of things celebrates may try when the pendants make sure . he got a government guarantees that they will not achieve their goals. this was the day the terror threat i write. a successive governments ignored repeated warnings to take action. to work backfires. and label will approach and pull them in a not a few. a taste of

the year gone by there after a political year which left britain with no overall majority in parliament someone who used to be in the british parliament is that open book us from former liberal democrat m.p. joins me now to take a look back and forwards that events in britain and the european union lembit happy new year a good new year's eve party no doubt whatever can we just get on with it please there is things obviously happening but we are in a country with no overall majority in government twenty seven thousand united or whether we can have an election this year but. that was a cheery moment for me after in the government the conservatives had no overall majority due to the stupendous achievement of david cameron no one thought he could pull that off and then no one thought that to reason make it lose it but yes he she grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory and now has to depend on the democratic unionist part of northern ireland to stay in power but she's in fairplay or northern ireland in a better cause david cameron now working for a hedge fund related to china we invite him on this show he has not he's

a yes he's given a he's given up with the politics and. get it all in there so they're going to but it was a tragic year the most notable event in terms of terrorism was arguably the mentions to attack conducted it seems way late people of libyan extraction now connected to this secret services may blame them i five what was britain doing which involved us in the manchester arena all kinds of problems their option it's almost forgotten how many people died amongst of course if you go to the northwest everyone still remembers that but who is responsible who is to blame it's not fair to say that m i five caused the strike there but the attack but they could have potentially prevented that and three's a maze got herself into a bit of a mess here could see seems to be blaming the british secret services he carries that from twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen that there's another attack where the

sea go from there the liturgy of the day when my five again and i'm sure we'll hear some responses maybe via leaks from my five our next door neighbor here to the studio if there are agents and officers in my five who don't agree with terrorism is appraisal a visit to asia and they don't have to listen through the wall they can just watch r.t. assuming m i five their equipment works in the big the big event arguably was the grand felt our catastrophe i mean. how do you think tourism is going to cope with it as the weeks go for because this christmas certainly the residents of the and the relatives of the bereaved still have not been really housed in one of the richest countries on earth lots of problems with the ground felt our situation as far as teresa mayes concerned no one's directly blaming her for that incident of course despite the fact that schools died in it but they do blame her for how she behaved at the time it looked to the public perhaps because of the way the media

spun it but i do think it probably is true that she isolated herself she spoke. to the emergency services there she seemed to not be speaking at least in her first visit to the victims and the families of the victims now the pressure's on as you say millions of pounds were raised to rehabs the victims of the grand felt our disaster and many of them must still homeless now that's a really big issue especially in what might be called the winter of discontent if the weather gets bad lots of people in a difficult situation living in temporary accommodation lots with children that's not going to play well up to the local elections and that's remember there will be lots of people voting in may twenty eight in and some people might be affected by the way that she didn't look like a woman of the people back at the ground who had lost tens of thousands of children unless this whole chris was a new year season well the grenfell tower silent march will be on the fourteenth of january two weeks' time that will occur two days after germany corbin faces

a test as the national executive committee of the labor party ballots closes to see whether or it will reflect the membership of the labor party or. blairites to continue to move when the sings it almost sounds like your becoming a blairite is that the option of twenty eighteen and if you. can suggest to you that corbin had a great twenty seventeen. he's in an unassailable position and his party has currency only still in the entire parliamentary we've been in parliament what do you think his legs sitting there on the front bench milling most of the people behind you hate you but they don't hate him they are not quite as careerist as maybe some other parties but they grudgingly accept that he delivered the best result for the labor party since tony blair in one thousand ninety seven he built the party so they've got a challenge just as i mentioned the mayor lections for to resume a

a big task for her so war so if gerry corbin could pull off further gains at the local government level that bodes well for the labor party and his chances of being prime minister so you're right he's got lots of critics promising to destabilize him if there's a war in a vote if there's a vote for war for instance his backbenchers of one of new york and so there's a vote on their own if there's a vote on all these myriad of issues where the blairites are there will vote against her because i wouldn't be so idealistic about the sash and when it comes down to it you're a pragmatist when you're a member of parliament perhaps i should have been more of one at the time but they've done their best to get rid of jeremy corbin they were saying he wasn't fit to be prime minister and yet corbin still get more seats than any other party in the british political system in the twenty seventh election so in that sense they'll pipe down they're not going to get rid of him it's obvious the membership

of the labor party on his side if there was to be another general leadership election let's be clear about that a leadership election then frob a body more people still would rally behind corbin join the labor party he's in a good position and that's an interesting thing the seesaw of politics to resume a standard of great in early twenty seventeen loss at all corbin looking in trouble it's all gone the other way now and corbin is probably going to have a. pretty good twenty eighteen risky thing to predict on the first day of the year but my money is on him making gains in may ok well before those mayor there is we have in february march time central bank changes janet yellen term ends of the federal reserve. shorn of china that central bank bitcoin which probably yes the whole burst no federal banks are of course still important people here will be thinking about interest rates because they're slowly moving up in the generations

here they don't understand negative equity in a crashing property market your right to mention china and america in terms of the banking system china seems to me to be in a pretty strong position they've certainly got a strategy and that strategy can sustain some decline as well as growth america in my view more precarious remember last year donald trump promised this extraordinarily large tax cuts coming to ponder's because i think over tilia in pounds in fact we will find out in twenty eighteen whether his promises before the new year will deliver growth in this year at the same time i certainly be growing more than britain well as far as we can see as all the productions written zakk sports turned out to be pretty good at the end of the year but the uncertainty continues and if you put all that together there are three really big players as far as we're concerned here in the studio in london where the trees in may and

chancellor philip hammond great friends i'm sure that will be able to pull off some kind of a stable situation and growth situation to the u.k. as we head towards bracks at whether china can play a long game which delivers early rather than late it will definitely deliver one way or the other i think what i think the chinese people worry about oh come on average seven hundred seven hundred million out of poverty and they've generation i think they're not worrying but. you mentioned bricks that their elections in italy i mean v get what's happening in catalonia and how that situation five star movement may win in the italian elections which come in march these nationalist movements coming up in europe it may not just be breck's it talking about the five star movement slightly less nationalist then made out to be but you are right it reflects a certain skepticism about the european union project i would also say greece is

going to be watching to see what happens in italy and in that sense perhaps even even spain there are less at the moment could destabilize the situation arguably series or in greece of sold it all out if they can only come on our debt and there are they haven't russian elections of course it'll take quite some time not in the year after yes but i'm just saying jack there are and if putin doesn't win in march twenty eighth that will be quite quite an upset your career sic backing backing someone in the polls i think polling of one percent you're creating a spirit jeopardy there i think i think they have been ever to be looking to russia because the fee for world cup in june there are so many stories about the evils of this fever world cup i mean this is interesting because the usa didn't qualify iran will be there let alone a host of other nations we can expect all sorts of strange people. the whole world at large on a small football pitch and as you say someone like the contestants they're unlikely

iran is very proud of it's was thinking about england actually ten months time the final break that deal before our departure from the european union in march now next year that that will be fighting work easy i can't see how anything could possibly go wrong that's going to make this year a lot of fun but it comes to politics predict a lot of fun a lot of fun not for us millions are you that understands verity are you planning to stand for parliament to be gay. are you planning to i have no plans to serve this country in that way but if called upon to do that is quite a bit of a job with you as he was good that you can examine twenty eighteen is the irish the irish presidential elections not that politically involved because every important you live in ireland and actually you're wrong well it's really important dublin's role in all of britain's affairs of twenty eighteen which is going to be controlled by the irish that we have become a colony of the aisle irish how did this happen i vassal state but the island of

ireland ups of the whole of the e.u. i love the fact that dublin is now in the commanding position in some ways when it comes to whether one little parts of the united kingdom will still be in the single market that was a big ac towards the end of twenty seventeen it's bound to rear its head again because why the democratic party the party which is sustaining treason may in power has a lot to say about any potential convergence between dublin belfast and of course london and that i promise you won't just be fun to watch it'll be potentially a deal breaker if she gets out wrong and deal breaker maybe not so much for the bracks campaign but for her personally pleasured also say two hundred years since the birth of karma that's twenty eight hundred for some people although of course there will be commemoration ceremonies where island will be involved arguably one hundred years since the end of the great war the war to end or was pretty sure

they're going to be more wars we're going to be talking about this here happy new year action. happy new year thank you and that's it for the show will be back for our season opener on wednesday the seventeenth of january but until that will be book of things all of your favorite episodes of the season till we get back with a brand new series keep in touch by social media the whole team here going underground wish you a happy and peaceful twenty eight. the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets . the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided

to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution you craft someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all the news there are a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. only one day to go before the birthday because i just think about that in nine years it went from absolutely unwilling piece of software to world shaking wall street transforming society bust a mega important thing. i

had a great education a good job and a family that lope me. i never had to worry about how i would eat some where i would sleep. but i'm facing christmas alone on the streets of london. well you look to be. a cut above employee like. you know to someone in the still give up food for the harvest. because you don't really feel like the big you know. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. was
