around talks at the new i mean given the european union organizing the dork over the fax to imprisonment of pro-democracy activists i mean how these negotiations going and how does one even negotiate with european union well i think that that's a very interesting question to make how do you negotiate with it with the european union and the short answer to that is slowly and carefully and there are many things that we need to be concentrating on in our trade relationships around the world and it's one of them you said that because you asians should be going slowly i want to say that they deliberately block being linked from to buy european officials to see a britain in the end like other european nations look i'm very keen to remain i voted i remain and i still think that that was the right decision but the country voted in a different way and i lost that argument and we have to accept it and i don't think
10:01 am
it's in anyone's interest either for the e.u. or for for us to duck negotiations over future trade policy in certainly it certainly would be in both interest if we got a good deal in place john l. . after the break. as the u.k. government debates almost two thirds of grant felt our survivors are still housed in the mergence the accommodation five months after the tragedy what's going on aged actor willem dafoe tells of why he believes the capitalist model of competition the roar of his business over politics and the role of the more coming up in part two of going underground. some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat. which makes no sense
10:02 am
by the way because animals eat other animals and we're supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they don't want to humans eating other animals so in a sense they're saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans don't have a right to eat other animals even though they think we're all equal so some of there's a logical inconsistency that. in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets two trillion united states dollars pass through most. in the amount of time that we did then in panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of. documents were examined. me all the people which basically have
10:03 am
tried to get an advantage out of this thought it was used for ever. and probably other politician which was attacking other politicians the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course. oh my god i've had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no more americans to go especially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. of the panama chronicles.

welcome back well while former u.k. labor pm gordon brown may be trying to make an audience at the l.s.e. forget about how he oversaw a catastrophic economic crash in britain's economy alarming statistics about poverty have emerged in the past twenty four hours according to u.k. and gio the trussell trust hundreds of thousands of children have nothing but food banks to feed them in austerity britain between april and september six hundred thousand three day emergency food supplies had to be given out to stave off hunger so what about the usa a country whose new liberal policies have long been revered by u.k. politicians we sent senior producer pete bennett to speak with the cost and crew of a film hotly tipped for the oscars the florida project this friday in britain the film follows underclass survival in the shadow of multinational media corp the walt
10:06 am
disney company. co-written entire. it's a by sean baker the florida project follows the misadventures of three kids living on the highway to the most magical place on earth disney will florida star an oscar nominated legend willem dafoe and the cost of first time says the story is set in the budget motel now mostly home to america's hidden homeless i spoke to brave unlike say he was discovered through social media about her character haiti's experience of poverty motherhood and separate commendation hayley as a young mom she's in her early twenty's she has a six year old daughter named money she's just trying to figure her life out financially struggling doesn't really have a lot of opportunity. and the film is just about her daughter mostly but it's about her kind of trying to figure out the struggles without putting them on her daughter not being able to pay or right not being able to get where all those things are
10:07 am
true and they and they go through these things regularly so it definitely trade real situations are really going on and these martellus do you realize before the film about sort of this hidden homelessness situation in america how many people who are suffering i never know about that and it's not because i didn't want to it's just because it's not really spoken about. so it's really awesome that shawn is shining my on a subject that's really important i feel like i really agree with shawn when he says housing is a fundamental right and i feel like it's not fair that so many people are just overlooked and it certainly everyone deserves a home but what it is is actually very much stemming from the recession of zero eight and the housing crisis that immediately followed it and you have a lot of transplants and for various reasons you know coming from mostly the new york area puerto rico and looking for a place in which they can they can find permanent housing so what they're doing is
10:08 am
that they're using these budget motels as basically a place to keep a roof over their heads you know they're one step. way from the streets there it's the last refuge before actually turning to shelters or the streets in the donation food truck where people are getting free food here in the u.k. we have feedback it's become a massive. issue with d.c. the first time people relying on donated food oh yeah you know it's that's that's one of the biggest concerns is that there isn't just simply there isn't enough funding from the government whether it's local state or federal and so many of the agencies that are providing social services to the needy are being backed by their philanthropists so the private sector i mean even disney itself had to give five hundred thousand dollars last year to the homeless impact fund which helps central florida so it it's about getting it's about getting basically the government then now to really step up and and provide funding
10:09 am
for affordable housing and low income housing so then that's kind of symbolic in a sense that's happening on the doorstep of disney you know the second biggest media company in the united states that is exactly why we decided to have our story take place in this area is this very sad juxtaposition of children growing up right outside of the place that we consider the happiest place on earth for children so it's putting a human face on this issue it's having us embrace a little moonie whose only character love her and laugh with her and spend the summer going through going on mysterious adventures with her with the hope that at the end of the film you know when they're at least one audience members are leaving the theater they're talking about the real mooney's out there because they've connected with her through humor and through love. having approached the subject in a journalistic style so met motel residents and manages in the lead up to filming
10:10 am
funny cheese and sheets on location at the magic also motel boss you're still operational i suppose you wouldn't have thought about his character bowlby the hotel's manager and what it was like to work amongst the harsh realities of post bail out america bobby the character i play is the manager of a motel a budget tourist hotel that's along this highway right outside of the mismatched parks most no not really disney world in central florida and it's a place that does have tourists come and stay there but it also houses a lot of people that don't have permanent homes and they pay daily weekly and they can't establish residence there so they kind of pay as they go but of course this makes a very precarious living situation and you have a lot of people you know living six to a room a lot of children it's it's
10:11 am
a tough way to grow up it affects their schooling it affects how they eat. you know home having long should be a basic right these people don't have that. they struggle and that's the world that we're talking about in this movie is that kind of symptomatic of some sort of some policies i mean i know there's a housing crisis i think this happened it's not just in central florida it's a lot of places and i'm sure there are similar problems here but in the states specifically after the economic crash and the housing crisis there are a lot of people that just can't afford. house they couldn't get the security. money together they couldn't and they had a bad credit rating for various reasons and this was a solution for them but it's a it's a very it's a tough cycle because. the kids are always moving they do they fall behind
10:12 am
in school they can't they can cook on hot plates and thanks but they end up eating that fast food restaurants which cost them a lot more and they eat not how filet that you know you see all these threads that contribute to this cycle that is very hard to break and i think rather than talking specifically about this it is useful to talk about story because it's not a polemic it's a story. that takes place in this world seen through these kids' eyes so it's not. a totally. downer movie there's something joyous about its portrait of childhood but at the same time always in the shadow you see the adults who are struggling and you recognize if these kids don't have different opportunities and if they continue to grow up this way though i. be facing the same challenges as their parents. yeah.
10:13 am
you know. ok i want to get one drip in your eyes. out now so. it's not an inside to me. thank you very much. me agent. needs an ice cream or a very. very fine. fathi girl. she is she's very very funny. well jancee is not so what troublemaker felt when she meets these two christopher and of course mooney. i don't little out of control but jency isn't a bad person and. chance is just
10:14 am
a little girl that just. dreams. when they're trying to get money and. they actually really get it. sometimes in a really think that people are going to give it to them but they do know that they do but they're hungry they don't really have a lot of it so they're hungry and so big they don't and they know food costs money so they said they'd try to get money to get their own food what do you guys want people to think after they see the movie there's a special message which i'm going to tell you they should make the world a better place they should help out the community this go and bring things that you don't use that and still be in use and give it to them and make the world a better please they should give people things that they need because they should
10:15 am
really be thankful for money have not has they could be put in harry money's position they could put in a small motels like budget motels and all that stuff and they should be really really thankful that i have a house and i'd be there bill because there's money in food and all that stuff just because to cut just because you know. we're living in very politically heated times not only that we have we have technology that gives us you know updates everything . seconds about either a political heated political scandal or or a disaster or a tragedy we're getting hit a lot with news that isn't exactly positive and i think that film needs to still be an escape and so audiences they want that escape but but
10:16 am
a filmmaker can also use this art form in this this form of escapism to shine light on an important issue and i think that that's when the film becomes its most powerful are politicians are not moral leaders they're they're businessmen and in this case you know a businessman that you know totally is his is judgments and his and his wisdom. you know totally comes from this kind of. capitalist model of beat the other guy it doesn't exactly make you. think as a nation or think as a community it's all about getting over on the other guy something at the heart of competition and the heart of capitalism is you know who gets the most stuff at the end and i think we were learning for a while that that's not the way things get done you know in the end it becomes what
10:17 am
you want to do when you want to pay for it you want to pay for education you know. and i was saying and you want to pay for cops and jails and it's pretty clear that . for me it's no great story but we're going on the wrong direction now but hopefully there will be an adjustment so. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of this season will be back with a whole new episode going on the ground on wednesday the seventy the january till then can be done by social media have a happy. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
10:18 am
the central bankers trust me there's a lender of last resort or to provide liquidity case there's a credit freeze to fact that you have central banks becoming the buyer of first order and that their printing money to buy stocks is a complete inversion of what their role is supposed to be in the economy and they become a giant hedge fund. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would be somewhere i would sleep. but i'm facing christmas alone on the streets of london. well you know to be able to. cut the little you like going to school you know to simulate it to still give up food for the home to. her.

president trump has fired a warning shot over the iran nuclear deal he's agreed to extend sanctions relief but says it's for the last time in one hundred twenty days from now the u.s. president will again have to decide whether to continue this is a pension of sanctions or not trump's again insisting on revisions to the hard fought agreement or the u.s. he says will walk away. in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies then the agreement will be terminated we cannot abide by an agreement one of the worst deals ever negotiated we cannot and will not make this certification well on saturday the russian foreign minister said moscow will oppose any attempt to undermine the existing nuclear agreement which echoes of the world powers behind the deal as america reports even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the
10:22 am
iran deal he has decided to keep the deal intact extending sanctions relief but also warning that this will be the last time until the deal is strengthened a bit sanctions will be added on iranian entities for their alleged support of terrorist groups now this comes after his national security advisers and other signatories have all urged him to comply with the agreement and the e.u. has been urging washington to stick to it for months at a great value the g c p a way that you do you we erode the deal is working you want to. protect just a few way why it should pay for this deal this crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of the well the agreement was signed in two thousand and fifty and it was hailed as a breakthrough in u.s. iran relations as it ended international concern over iran's nuclear program and it's often described as obama's signature foreign policy achievement but trump has always accused the country of violating the quote spirit of the deal now at the
10:23 am
last deadline that trump the way of sanctions but decertified iran's compliance with the deal which is completely unrelated to all of this a it's not part of the deal and b. iran's ballistic missiles already been capable of carrying nuclear warheads now we'll just have to wait and see if congress and u.s. allies will agree to trump's demands. well the reaction from other american official. to the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. says that washington is looking to take further action against iran she said that more sanctions could be imposed on iran outside the nuclear deal while the iranian foreign minister has hit back at donald trump for trying to scupper the nuclear deal he said that iran will not accept any changes in the deal no need nor in the future one former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team told us that trump has no real reason to scuttle the deal with tara is the president that makes decisions and you have to go one day at a time and don't place too much. in his all to meet them today because
10:24 am
this deal sears uses national interest. defense. tillerson another's and we've heard from various european leaders just couple of days ago that this is you know working. through nine reports has confirmed that iran has fully fulfill its obligations so there is really you know rationale or justification for trying to go against this crowd and really you know land a big stop on the u.s. is called debility international scene. well while the u.s. does try to suppress surrounds nuclear industry the pentagon has been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic weapons plans were due for release next month although they've now been leaked to the media the nuclear posture review as it's called does outline extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the outdated nuclear arsenal
10:25 am
and develop more new warheads for submarines it also wants funding doubled over the next decade and the document lists russia china and north korea as threats which need to be counted in the federation of the american scientists says that the u.s. already has well over a thousand low you wish nuclear warheads they are as powerful as the bombs that were dropped on japan in the second world war the proposed expansion is in contrast to to present trends only a pledge to see global denuclearized. number one i would like to do the world i would like russia and the united states and china and pakistan and many other countries that have nuclear weapons to get rid of them robert moment for me just foreign policy campaign group did tell us that the plans would mean a windfall the pentagon contractors. it's a troubling development that they would put this out but the administration doesn't
10:26 am
get to do this by themselves congress will have to approve it and hopefully there will be pushback and what is. obviously a religious in foolish idea you know in states already has more than enough nuclear weapons the idea of building more is robbery of other priorities and you know contractors are going to make money off of losing their weapons so they create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are now something that is not in the interest of the world it's not in the interest in the jury. washington post is under fire after one of its spirit chiefs in the middle east posted a tweet apparently praising a journalist from free syrian t.v. questions were raised over the over the reporter's possible links to al nusra front
10:27 am
terrorists is done enough now expects everybody needs a hero even beacons of independent journalism like the washington post and what better candidate than a man doing his job despite the constant threat of bombs this syrian jauntily standing in the open field while bombs explode all around him is very lucky to be a life now flood jacket or helmet you can barely hear about the explosions he and his colleagues are very brave. a professional for all of us journalists to look up to right wrong this book may have a pretty cover but it's the gripping content that's of most interest this man in the video is to hear our model and possibly the best way to understand them is this tweet shiite militia turned into minced meat sixty people killed in an eyesore suicide attack some respect for the dead maybe no now i'm satisfied he
10:28 am
writes the different mission of bloodlust if you ask me in this picture is all smiles and handshakes with the saudi cleric a jihadi role model here. sydney is sitting down against the backdrop of terrorist flags here's the one of i saw and hears not as he worked as a mediator trying to reconcile the groups back in twenty fourteen he set up and ran a training camp for child soldiers in syria and has reportedly made repeated calls for sectarian genocide no wonder he's on the u.s. security blacklist masini is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with . the heart are now bit of that. thought the group is embedded within this video. is internationally designated as terrorist born as a branch of an al qaeda affiliate later they swapped sides figuring i still flavored
10:29 am
terrorism was more to their liking when i reached out to the washington post's beirut bureau chief about her tweet she disputed the fact that she ever gave praise to the man or his so called journalism i dispute that they gave praise to the journalist or his journalism i pointed out that standing out in the field and continuing to talk well explosions they were not all around you is brave. she still admires is bravery though the mainstream media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to regime forces absolutely no so what that he's giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least he's taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights. they support the terrorism so how on earth.
10:30 am
of course you want to support. that's that's the bottom line of the hippocratic they have double standards. if this happens in the u.s. mainland would they accept that terrorists would be available terrorist organizations . to say they have good cause of course not the mainstream media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving balance and using trusted sources but those standards appear to be selective and only if the story fits the cover. down of. where fighting is still ongoing series italy province at the moment between government forces and the al qaeda linked in is refreshment in fact his exclusive video of the battle for key positions.
