changes that would have created eight point six billion pounds for the u.k. treasury and the 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 paper little 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 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 a point six billion for the u.k. average weight of a partisan politics no no it's not a partisan politics it's an actual fact the before the german election in the wash up to the general election that's what the labor party did so they can't go back on
8:01 pm
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 to brazil and to 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 the us one of them you said that because you asians should be growing slowly i want to say that they deliberately will being linked from to buy european officials to see a britain in the end like other european nations very keen to remain i voted i
8:02 pm
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 it's in anyone's interest either for the e.u. or for for us to duck negotiations over future trade policy it certainly it certainly would be in both interest if we got a good deal in place john l. thank you after the break. as the u.k. government debates almost two thirds of grant felt our survivors are still housed to the emergency 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 underground.
8:03 pm
what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be friends. that's it like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about how the. question. 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've been in panama papers exposure that's what it shows of money it really is. journalism it's an act of journalism looking at things that
8:04 pm
people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of. documents were examined. the only people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of the. newspaper. and probably other politician which were. other politicians the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and 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
8:05 pm
a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their 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. forgets 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 you know the trussell trust hundreds of thousands of children have nothing but food banks to feed them in austerity britain between ape. in 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
8:06 pm
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 disney will 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 known actor brevan might say he was discovered through social media about her character haiti's experience of poverty motherhood and temporary accommodation 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 family just about her daughter mostly but it's about her kind of trying to figure out the struggles without putting them on her daughter
8:07 pm
not being able to pay or not being able to get were all those things are 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 foam about some 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 shyness shouting lie 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 that 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't find permanent housing so what they're doing
8:08 pm
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 there it's the last refuge before actually turning to shelters or the streets in the. nation 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
8:09 pm
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 mooney whose own lead 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 movies 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
8:10 pm
funny cheese and sheets on location at the magic calls to motel bosses still operational i suppose they wouldn't have thought about his character bobby 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 of a budget tourist hotel that's along this highway right outside of the mismatched parks must now not only 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
8:11 pm
a tough way to grow up it affects their schooling it infects 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 since i'm not sick as 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
8:12 pm
in school they can't they can cook on hot plates and thanks but they end up in 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 and be facing the same challenges as their parents. yeah.
8:13 pm
ok i want to get one drip in your eyes. out now. it's not an inside job. thank you very much. agent will make a knee is an ice cream or very many. very fine. very sassy girl. she's she's very very funny. well jancee as not so what troublemaker but when she meets these two christopher and of course mooney. i don't little out of control
8:14 pm
but jency isn't a bad person and. chanting is just a little girl that just. dreams and when they're trying to get money. they actually really get it. and 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. they are in the know for the cost money so they so be trying 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 ok and still be in use and give it to them and make the world
8:15 pm
a better please they should give people things that they need because they should really be thankful for loni have a lot 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 it can be their bills and their money and 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 . the 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 audience is they want that escape but but
8:16 pm
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 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
8:17 pm
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 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 to going on the ground on wednesday the seventy the january till then can be done by social media have a happy. the
8:18 pm
central bank especially there is the lender of last resort or to provide liquidity in case there's a credit freeze the fact that you have such a 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. 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 look to be able to. cut the above employee like you go to school you know to simulate it to still give up food for the. last you don't really feel like you know. and then. the guy just
8:21 pm
around the clock across the world this is from the team myself you know o'neill hearty welcome to the program donald trump has agreed to extend sanctions relief for iran but. for the last time four months from now the u.s. president will again have to decide whether to continue to hold off on imposing sanctions required by the pact. a hard fought agreement are not made america is going to 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
8:22 pm
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 close ally with the agreement on that and the e.u. has been urging washington to stick to it for months and break the value of the trade c.p.o. way the new deal with the room the deal is working we 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 last deadline at trying to waive sanctions but decertified iran's compliance with
8:23 pm
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 or rome's foreign minister how is hit by donald trump from making the ultimatum saying the u.s. should stop jeopardizing the pact we took the opportunity to ask people in tehran what they think about the american leaders position. he you know that he 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 us 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 us 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
8:24 pm
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 a threat. in response to the acts a number of european officials have voiced their support for the deal most recently germany's foreign ministry said berlin is committed to its full implementation and a former advisor to rand's team during the nuclear negotiations told us about this spike the bluster of the us would in fact be the loser if it backed out of the pact . is the president that makes decisions and have to go one day at a time and place to match. his all to meet them today because this deal serves us is now an interest. defense. tillerson another's from the leaders just a couple days ago this is working. through all nine reports has
8:25 pm
confirmed as iran has fully. geishas so there's really no rationale or justification for trying to war against this crowd and really you know landed big stop on the us this could debility international scene. while the u.s. tries to suppress iran's nuclear industry the pentagon has reportedly been busy working on a major revamp of its own atomic weaponry the plans were due for release next month but i've already been leaked to the media this is what we know the first of its kind in eight years the nuclear posture review outlines extensive plans to upgrade and replace some of the are dated arsenal it also aims at developing smaller nukes so-called. weapons a move that opponents say in fact makes nuclear war more likely the plan wants funding double swell over the next decade the document lists russia china north
8:26 pm
korea as threats which need to be countered but the federation of american society . they have said that the us already has well over a thousand low yield nuclear warheads and in fact there is powerful as the bombs dropped on japan during the second world war the proposed expansion is in contrast to present trumps your earlier page to seek global d. . 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 well pentagon sais that they won't comment on the preliminary version of the document robert naiman from the just foreign policy campaign group he thinks more weapons won't actually strengthen washington's position or perhaps more importantly deter nuclear conflict at all nobody really.
8:27 pm
any sane person is going to use nuclear weapons industry dziedzic competition to the point of having a few if there is any point at all. you know so that the other person will be deterred supposedly using your nuclear or their nuclear weapons because then you might use yours how do you think more nuclear weapons doesn't change the pentagon contractors are going to make money off of losing the war weapons so they'll create parochial interests there are pushing these things there are now something that is not in the interest of the world is not only interested in the jury. or. another headline story not the washington post bureau chief in beirut has faced a volley of criticism after posting a tweet praising the bravery of a journalist from free syrian t.v. it was quickly revealed though that the reporter has links to extremist groups as
8:28 pm
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 journalist 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 of 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 him 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
8:29 pm
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. is sitting down against the backdrop of terrorist flags here's the one of i saw and here is 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 my city is far from the only terrorist has rubbed shoulders with many bells that night at this hour now 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 still
8:30 pm
flavored 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 join a list or his journalist i pointed out that standing out in the field and continuing to talk while explosions had no 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 bilal abdulla karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people are executed it's as simple as that what can i do here in syria blend in the crowd i don't think so and we're going to turn my so over to regime forces absolutely 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.
