4:30 am
but our entire party is well i'm joined now by the prime minister's trade on voight to nigeria conservative m.p. john how the odds it's as vice chairman of the conservative friends of israel john the expert coming on i mean we have minister is not declaring secret meetings of foreign governments we have people senior people of legibly in danger in the lives of british subjects abroad is finished no she's not finished and i think you've got to look at what each of those items individually to get the true picture of it there's no point in getting worked up and jumping on the on the back of them and i think will be totally wrong to say that either theresa may or this concerted government is finished he think it was wise of johnson said. in a sense echo the iranian revolutionary guard corps allegation that the british subject was indeed a journalist a lot of charity work well the thing you can't do is to is to hide things and and lying to foreign governments and i think that what warren said was. was actually
4:31 am
appropriate and i say that has his normal critique of boris johnson and i think it was it was perfectly appropriate even if it endangered the lives of the rain ians are a terrible regime they are causing a huge amount of of of upset really that is your view surely the important issue is to save the life of a british subject and i understand the bar and spoke to the iranians and i don't i don't know what is clearly a vote where you trust the iranians of the boers agree with and you don't trust them before he said no i don't trust the iranians as far as i could throw the what do you mean iranians at work i've no idea what the iranians said i wasn't privy to that to that conversation but i'm sure he explained the situation to the iranians and we'll have to wait and see what the outcome of that is we know that this government since twenty ten the tories of obviously taking a tougher stance that gordon brown attorney blair on tax avoidance and tax dodging
4:32 am
. what did you what was your reaction to the fact that. tax dodging seems to be going on industrial 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 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 i'm sure that he can defend himself on this but quite honestly i think there are bigger things that the cons
4:33 am
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 white about partisan politics so 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 argue with the dog over the fact to brazil and to pro-democracy activists i mean how these negotiations going in the old days will 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
4:34 am
things that we need to be concentrating on in our trade relationships around the world and the new it's one of them you said that goes asians should be going slowly i want to say that they deliberately a lot being linked from the by european officials to see britain in the end like other european nations so i took i am very keen to remain i voted to remain and i still think that that was the right decision but the country voted in a different way and i lost that that argument and we have to accept it and i don't think it's in anyone's interest either for the e.u. of for us to duck negotiations over future trade policy it's certainly it certainly would be. in both that interest if we got a good deal implants john l. thank you after the break. as the u.k. government admits almost two thirds of grant felt survivors a still housed in emergency accommodation five months of the tragedy off going on a good actor with him defoe tells of why he believes the capitalist model of
4:35 am
competition is prioritized business over politics and the people both of them all coming up about two of going underground. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining
4:36 am
about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would read literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay a. call for help and get the middle finger the movie is to model is. delayed and i hope you don't. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night with the sixties full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh no believe yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same thing we are apparently better than food. and see people you never her. word of love back to the night not the president of the world bank though. me seriously send us an e-mail.
4:37 am
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 you know the trussell trust hundreds of thousands of children who 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
4:38 am
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 of course the first time actors the story is set in a budget motel now mostly home to america's hidden homeless i spoke to known actor brevin knight 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 daughter any 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 not being able to pay around not being able to get where are those things are true and they and they go through these things regularly is definitely. situations that
4:39 am
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 i didn't want to it's just because it's not really spoken about so it's really awesome that shawn is shedding light 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't 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
4:40 am
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 you know issue with poverty to d.c. to 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 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
4:41 am
a sense that's happening on the doorstep of disney you know the second biggest media company in the. 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 through going on mysterious adventures with her with the hope that at the end of the film you know when they're released when 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 motel residents 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
4:42 am
was like to work amongst the harsh realities of postpaid 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 mill 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 who you know living six to a room lot of children it's it's a tough way to grow up it affects their schooling and affects how they eat.
4:43 am
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 i don't sleep 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. a 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
4:44 am
at fast food restaurants which costs them a lot more and they eat not healthily 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. i. know. oh. ok
4:45 am
you are warm get one drip in your are. out now so. it's not one side to help them probably. thank you very much oh god my knee is a temple made care. an ice cream river. is a. very fine. roast fasc girl. cheese she's very very funny. well jancee is not so what troublemaker when she meets these two christopher and of course moonie. i don't little out of control but jancee isn't a bad person and. chance is just a little girl that just. dreams and when they're trying to get money.
4:46 am
they actually really get it. and sometimes in a 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 big they don't and they know free cost 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 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 care and still be in use and give it to them and make their want a better pleased they should give people things that they need because they should really be thankful for loney have not has. they can't beat her and her family's
4:47 am
position they could only make small like kells like budget motels and all that stuff and they should be really really hard for that. and you can't beat em down. and all that stuff is. just. 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 in escape and so audiences they want that escape but but a filmmaker can also use this art form in this this form as a scape ism to shine light on an important issue and i think that that's when the
4:48 am
film becomes its most powerful our 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. kept us 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 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're. to pay for it you want to pay for education you know.
4:49 am
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 some. 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 seventeenth of january till then keep in touch via social media have a happy. young
4:50 am
children have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million doing so today. this culture led to the development of the livia's new liberal and highly controversial children's code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work on the certain circumstances but there's a new thing this. is all new for. the . elite but with. the end of. the thing here. but there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operating completely outside the local.
4:51 am
the. mining work is strictly forbidden by the children but it's never in force and that means the schoolboy mine is here to continue risking their lives for the money they need to survive on. hey everybody i'm stephen ball. task hollywood guy suspects ever proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru where he's a little bit different i've noticed you can find in your windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun every day americans. and cooks we start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which.
4:52 am
i was born to go full time it was my home for twenty five years. off to sea in the heart of my state called city. that night will follow me and my peoples for the
4:53 am
rest of our lives. you won't see any shots of the faithful not in this film we never want to see that again. grenfell but for local and global reasons there's a bigger picture that either more about every day. we talk politics now and how we can take power because we learned that we have to look after ourselves. changed everything. the deadly consequences we suffered make the trains lehman the horizon different more for anyways no i live in cannes in the chelsea it's one of the richest areas in the whole country but the north where we live has one of the highest concentration of people a low incomes. go it inequality is pushing so many out the area it's obvious global capital has no regard for people like me it's the same story the world over
4:54 am
from butlins to real madrid to new york but maybe because we're in such prime real estate what we had to live through could be a warning for you all so i set out to learn from those who are in the know about here and tell you about. they want to paris more due. here where they push everyone out to the outskirts in a suburb where you can easily control that outside of the of the in a circle where they have taken over and you go i have a income to even be there i was the only reason you're going to be going in is to commute go to work and do some menial task and come back out again and go back to the suburbs they look at this particular area as a gold mine and the thing that's preventing them from being able to mine that gold is the presence of the people here are social housing they where they were cutting back on on the leverage has a maintenance and having to nothing is fight and they probably in this process we
4:55 am
call managed decline and i think data is praised as we'll as we'll believe that a cheap job was done if that's precisely what you think it probably will be ben that will be and when it comes confirmation of our worst fears and that that's a very deterministic and unpleasant warfare. today against the info flowing into homes. many of us now see a warfare by the rich in collusion with their mates in local government they didn't represent us they lied they caught. it and it killed. the council's representatives deny social plans and they tell us with a straight face they care about our community i don't feel that the issues are about social cleansing as you put it i can understand why people. explain in those wise for me the issue is how down how is this council going to invest in that area and invest in ways that delivers community value for the people they are not.
4:56 am
moving the people they are out to somewhere else that's not on the gender it's on so called regeneration has hit our community we have wave after wave of gentrification for decades swept away homes and community spaces it replaced record shops with coffee shops music venues with bt. where we feel like outside as the streets we want schools are now full of tourists and the rich i can't tell you how many people i see move out because it's just too expensive you know whorish or sewer i've never felt such a difference between one of our off and them i'm talking cross on the ration if we hear regeneration we know it means the generation we know it means destruction of any community now we think it's three of regeneration projects that exists now that every generation comes to your party would you best watch out because you look like if you don't battle against and stop them they're going to wipe out everything that
4:57 am
you all did basically you know everybody's been pushing the regeneration culture yet is actually part of including is that head we need to chop off because it is that beast that created the grain for itself land. is that culture that created it and is hundreds of years old and they still see us especially the african caribbean population as their former slaves had a bitch an activist around here lived in grenfell tower he won countless times. about the regulation and the flour in the fire safety standards he said only a catastrophe would lead them to see and he was the plan is not to have a plan and that's a great plan when you're trying to run something down into the ground you know because you just don't invest in it you don't you just it's just not looked after as length west we know maybe just you know just they allowed it to i mean slum is
4:58 am
a is is a is a is a strong word but they are allowed it to sort of slip into a slum like status which is disgusting considering this power has a furred but we had a further billion pounds in reserves that we've been losing all of our public and public buildings in north kensington. the people that are responsible for that at all because i see a small cobell of officers and senior and senior councillors. they should have been keeping us safe in grenfell tower on the rest of the grenfell tower used to live on the thirteenth floor. and rather than keeping us safe they spent their whole time in the whole concentration going around north kensington and taking our library of lovely hundred twenty five year old north kensington library of a beautiful information center underneath the fly over. and any other public assets they could get their hands on including this beautiful building behind us the building behind us
4:59 am
a purchase of freehold for twenty five point three million pounds without any consultation without even the local labor councillors knowing about it i put some of accusations to barry cooke i'm not going to comment on that it seems to me that that's a very very strong statement all i can say is that i've looked at the issues that we're dealing with in relation to fire safety on housing on making sure that we've got people that you know directing the team when we're directing work ourselves to make sure that people are safe but obviously. accusations rickly at some of cook's colleagues like former deputy council leader look field in maryland they had to. master plans and some people bring in their expense from elsewhere in the context the latest his property developer and others who were just merely aspiring to be property developer mellon before the fire filled in million was working for
5:00 am
a property development company slightly named socially conscious capital how socially conscious is it that while serving in public office he was also being wined and dined by dismantling. this guy got rich convincing councils to sell off assets to his wealthy clients filled in million enjoy steve's five star lunches with him and pinching pennies from us. to look out the window and. anything you can look out of luck in the school and your state so you would have been leaving this woke up early yet i want to go on that i want that i saw. during the op now. hopefully what happened to me if they stay. feeling crap. touching up the paint. i mean one of two things. i thought big middle finger.
