reaction to the fact that. tax dodging seems to be going on and does real scale well i think the thing that you've got to remember here is the enormous hypocrisy on the part of the labor party because in the wash up to the general election they forced through changes that would have created eight point six billion pounds for the u.k. treasury and they they simply didn't want to want to pursue them so i think that i'm not going to accept any criticism from the labor party. over the paradise papers are worried that there is a maze has been involved has been does in effect advisor on tax dodging i'm not i'm not in the slightest worried by that and i'm sure that he can defend himself on this but quite honestly i think there are bigger things that the cons country needs to concentrate on and as i said it needs to concentrate on the hypocrisy of the labor party in turning down the offer to recoup eight point six

billion for the u.k. average white about one partisan politics no no it's not a partisan politics it's an actual fact the before the general election in the wash up to the general election that's what the labor party did so they can't go back on this now but still a little of any public inquiry into the implications of the paradise paper i don't see that it needs a public inquiry ok well the governor has a lot on its plate today six round talks at the e.u. i mean given the european union arguably the dork over the fact two resilient of pro-democracy activists. i mean how these negotiations going and how does one even negotiate with european union well i think that that very interesting question to me 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 trade relationships around the world and one of them you said

that because you asians should be growing slowly i want to say that they deliberately will being linked from the by european officials to see a britain in the like other european nations look i'm very keen to remain i voted 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 it's in anyone's interest either for the e.u. or for us to duck negotiations over future trade policy it's 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 did with almost two thirds of grant felt our survivors a still housing them urgency accommodation five months after the tragedy what's going on aged actor willem dafoe tells of why he believes the capitalist model of competition by origin his business over politics and the role of the more coming up

in part two of going on to grow. some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat period which makes no sense 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 so there's a logical inconsistency there. the central bankers trust me there's the lender of last resort or to provide liquidity in case there's a credit freeze the fact that you have central banks becoming the buyer of first order and that they're 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. which

. 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 disney company. co-written and directed by sean baker the florida project follows the misadventures of three kids living on the highway to the most magical place on earth does the well florida star an oscar nominated legend willem dafoe and the cost of first time actors the story is set in a budget motel now mostly home to america's hidden homeless i spoke to brave and might say he was discovered through social media about her character haiti's experience of poverty motherhood and temporary accommodation hayley as a young she's in her early twenty's she has a six year old's out any 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 around not being able to get work are those things are true

and they and they go through these things regularly is deafening. situations that are really going on and these martellus do you realize before the film about. this hidden homelessness situation in america how many people are suffering i never know about that and it's not because that it might too it's just because it's not really spoken about. so it's really awesome that shawn is shutting 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's definitely 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 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

that they're using these budget motels as basically a place to keep a roof over their heads you know they're one step away from the streets they're the last refuge before actually turning to shelters or the streets in the sort of a 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 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 to 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 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 you. it 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 to going on mysterious adventures with her with the hope that at the end of the film you know when they're really 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. residence and manages in the lead up to filming funny cheese

and sheets on location at the magic also motel also still operational i suppose it wouldn't if 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 the motel a budget tourist hotel that's along this highway right outside of the newsman parks most notably 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 lot of children it's it's

a tough way to grow up it affects their schooling it infects how they eat. you know home having a home 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 since i'm not sick as some sort of some policies i mean i know there's a housing crisis elsley 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 couldn'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

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 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.

they get down. ok i want to get one drip in your eyes. out now. it's not an inside job. thank you very much. me agent. needs an ice cream or a very. very fine. very sassy girl. she is she's very very funny. well jancee is not so what troublemaker but when she meets these two christopher and of course mooney. i don't little out of control but didn't

see is in a bad person and. janet is just a little girl that just. dreams and when they're trying to get money. they actually really get it. sometimes in really think that people are going to give it to them if they do that they do but they're hungry they don't really have a lot of it so they're hungry and so. they don't really know for the cost money they so the trying to get money to get their own food what do you guys want people to think after they see the maybe 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 just go and bring things that you don't use that can still be in use and give it to them and make them want

a better pleased they should give people things that they need because they should really be thankful fairly have let has they could be put in harry mini's position they could make small motels like budget motels and all that stuff and they should be really really fine for that i have. and it could be their bill. and there's money in food and all that stuff just because to cut just because you we're living in very politically heated times not only that we have we have technology that gives us you know updates every three seconds about either a political heated political scandal or or a disaster or a tragedy we're getting hit a lot with the 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

a filmmaker can also use this art form and this this form as a scape ism to to to to shine light on an important issue and i think that that's when film becomes its most powerful our politicians are not morally. leaders there are 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 it doesn't exactly make you. think as a nation or think yet 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 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 not a great story but we're going on the right direction now but hopefully there will be an adjustment so. and that's it for one of your favorite shows of the season we'll be back with a whole new episode going on the ground on wednesday the seventy the january children can be judged by social media have a happy. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with we can we call them is that needed austerity policies if you are in

a situation of flow gloat even the recession austerities a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline the almost a decade how good are the results she's. when you joined the circle by the people gathered it was the water of good evil with your do it i joined a choice didn't change it being foolish she still climate was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing more than this she did not was always think it's just something you cannot give up. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences is to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the i will first one of this is the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision maker.

i think there is indeed to have potential to come out of this impasse of implementing the means governments by extreme on the un piece operation this is very sensitive politically walls contributing countries to be eventually offer troops it's off to decide to be half so confidence i'm going to have not. had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would speak. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. going to look for you're a bit old i'm not going to cut the budget will be like going to school you know just wanted to still give up food for the homeless. or

a. just you don't really feel like a human being in that. and then. that guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. one

last chance president trump agrees to again waive certain sanctions and warns the u.s. will walk away from the nuclear deal less revisions have made. to the washington post's bureau chief in beirut is blasted on twitter for praising the bravery of a syrian journalist who is reputed to be a terrorist sympathizer. and new york's police union sues the force commissioner and the city claiming body cam video is big news for political gain.

by the good evening news is out international my name is kevin knowing here in moscow thanks shooting to us just turned six and even our moscow time here for next thirty minutes with the latest news then starting with this donald trump ers agreed to extend sanctions relief for a run but he says it is for the last time in one hundred twenty days from now the u.s. president will again have to decide whether or not to continue to hold off on imposing sanctions as required by the pact and trump insists that if revisions to the hard for to agreement are not made america will walk away. in two thousand and fifteen the obama administration foolishly traded away strong multilateral sanctions to get his weak nuclear deal despite my strong inclination i have not yet withdrawn the united states from the iran nuclear deal instead i have outlined two possible paths forward either fix the deal with disastrous flaws or the united states will withdraw even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the 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 and just yesterday top new diplomats met with the iranian foreign minister in brussels to reaffirm their support for the deal breaking bad news on the tray c.p.o. way that you deal with the room the deal is working or you want to. protect just a few way. why it should pay for this deal is crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of europe 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 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. the iranian foreign minister is ready hit back at donald trump for making the ultimatum saying the u.s. should stop jeopardizing the pact we asked a number of people in tehran what they thought about from his position is their response. trumps plan will never be practical because it's harmful for america this is a global agreement and it's not just the u.s. that imposes sanctions and puts pressure on iran if the u.s. wants to be isolated then yes it is the right way forward. iran's should stand

strongly against these actions because the more weaknesses show the more demanding the u.s. becomes. and i don't think there is a brain in trump head he's crazy and he's the one who is unpredictable and i guess i think if he were really able to kill the deal he definitely would have done that by now i think it is more of threat in response to trump's threats there's been an outpouring of support for the deal from european officials most recently germany's foreign ministry now saying that it's committed to its full implementation and a former advisor to rand's team as well join the nuclear negotiations told us that despite the bluster the u.s. would be the loser if it backed out of this pact. does the president that makes hard decisions and you have to go one day at a time and you know don't place too much. in his ultimatum today because this deal says no this is national interest as confirmed by defense secretary

mattis and tillerson and others and we have heard from the various european leaders just a 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 no rationale or justification for trump to go against the deal and the scrappy and really you know land a big stop on the u.s. this could debility international scene. meantime while the u.s. tries to suppress around nuclear is true then seems the pentagon has reportedly been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic weapons the plans were due for release of february but it's all been leaked to the media beforehand so the details row now the first of its kind in eighty years the nuclear posture review outlines extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the outdated arsenal it also aims developing smaller new so-called low yield weapons that's

a move that opponents say makes nuclear war more likely in fact the plan also wants funding doubled over the next decade and the document lists russia china and north korea as threats which need to be counted the federation of american scientists says the u.s. already has well over a thousand low yield nuclear warheads but in fact there is powerful as the bombs dropped on japan during the second world war the proposed expansions in contrast then to president earlier pledge to seek global denuclearization number what i would like to do you know 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 for its part the pentagon says it won't comment on the preliminary version of the document robert nyman from the just foreign policy campaign group told us that more usable weapons are unlikely to strengthen washington's powers of deterrence nobody really thinks any sane person is going to use nuclear

weapons in a strategic competition the glory of having it if there is any is you know so that the other person will be deterred supposedly using your nuclear at very low interest and your money to use yours having all nuclear weapons doesn't change the contractors are going to make money of losing and so they'll create parochial interests there are pushing eastern. there are now it's something that is now in the interest of the all is not only interest the majority. of. washington post spirit chief in beirut has been facing a volley of criticism after posting a tweet praising the bravery of a journalist from free syrian t.v. it was quickly revealed the reporter in question has got links to extremist groups as he goes down off reports 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 well bombs explode all around him is very lucky to be alive now flood jacket or helmet you can barely hear 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 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 non-stress 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 is on the u.s. security blacklist my city is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with many. other bit of. 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 saw flavor 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 continued to talk while explosions they were not all around you is brave. she still admires his bravery though the mainstream media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take dual 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 and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the 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. ports you want to support that.
