effects. was chemically altered what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's same in order to overthrow a regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher levels. welcome

back minority government leader tourism a couldn't even recognize the questions that will give an answer to this week's prime minister's questions the leader of western europe's largest socialist movement wanted to know about this week's massive multi-billion pound new liberal fe the karelian may countered that a labor council in leeds last week of the commission the outsourcing get dragged coleman wasn't amused for the record. have not signed. a contract with korea and it's the government. it's the government even handing out contracts it's the government's responsibility to ensure the command is probably manage between june. mr speaker between july and the end of last year the share price of karelian fella by ninety percent three profit warnings were issued unbelievably

some contracts ruled by the government even after they. profit warning this is regular it looks like the government was handing karelian public contracts . to keep the company afloat which clearly hasn't worked or he was just deeply negligent of the crisis that was coming down the line how did the woman who was in power because of a defacto one billion pound bribe. mr mr speaker i'm very happy to answer questions when the russians were gentle last one. corbin again asked whether policy was one of negligence or desperately trying to give a drowning company afloat but tourism a was more interested in the remnants of neo liberalism in corbin the shadow cabinet like shadow foreign secretary only thornberry who still hasn't consented to appear on this program since she was appointed i can i say to the shadow foreign section i will indeed answer the question but i know that she herself has praised karelian in the past.

and i say. that i say to her i don't know which i yes i mean there is obviously now a crown representative who's been fully involved in the government's response this food the appointment of the crown representative to replace the one that a previous again in place the government chief commercial officer and the cabinet officer office director of markets and suppliers took over those responsibilities for corba. that wasn't the point for him this week's top u.k. story wasn't even just about karelian it was about the wholesale privatisation of u.k. society to favor a handful of massive multinationals but this isn't one isolated case of government negligence and corporate failure it's a pro can system. under this government. under this government virgin stagecoach can spectacularly mismanage the east coast

main line and be let off a two billion pound payment capital and a toss can continue to wreck the lives through damaging disability assessments of many people with disabilities and when more government funded contractors g four s. promise to provide security to lympics failed to do so and the army had to step in and save the day these corporations mr speaker need to be shown that to all we need our public services provided by public employees with a public service ethos and a strong public oversight as the ruins of karelian lie around will the prime minister act to end this costly racket of the relationship between government and some of these companies there's no sign yet that mainstream elite media let alone

juries amaze minority government even accept that privatization might as well be an invitation to mafia style racketeering and this week's pm queues took place just hours before u.k. authorities revealed the taxpayers will have to stump up hundreds of billions to defacto bailout companies like karelian. in twenty seventeen forty six people under the age of twenty five were stabbed to death in britain's capital alone over new years four killings punctuated the year that bore the highest levels of knife deaths in england and wales in the twentieth to police officer numbers in twenty eighteen coincidentally are due to reach their lowest levels in twenty zero two with police officers across the country blaming this huge drop on austerity cuts brought on to bail out the bankers in the city of london with trays of me offering a billion pound bunk to keep our government safe are the cuts that she has presided over for years putting the people of britain in danger joining me now is peter kirk i mean he's a former police chief inspector with over twenty years of experience peter thanks

so much for coming on so we've heard quite a lot in other stories about austerity a collective economic punishment hurting the lives of people what is the reason for this uptick in knife crime and knife death in my view it's very simple it's because there are fewer police officers on the street and therefore there is less policing of the streets and therefore public space is becoming more dangerous that. of course the government continues to point to crime more widely coming down do you think they just see this is something mysterious were there underneath or do you understand that there is a correlation with and we're talking about the reduction in police numbers of tens of thousands i know perfectly well what's happening and they use and then muddy the waters by misrepresenting online about the statistics certain types of crime that we've happened to count over the years yes they've been coming down for years some of them are continuing to go down mostly property related crimes such as burglary theft from our vehicle theft of multiverse calls but quite

a lot of street related crime. violence especially is has been for several years now showing evidence of a rise again and that is now quite a significant definite rise and you said the governor were lying over statistics as . that way made stream media to cover their bags there may not be as interested because they're believing this is just six of the coming out i don't know what's happening with mainstream radio they be like that i've no idea but the way that they publish tete a pathetic police stories like cops are saying having a sandwich cops spend x. amount of money put into these when petrol vehicles or whatever if you think other police officers could possibly share your opinion you said trey's i'm a has blood on our hands regarding the increase in knife crime you talk to former colleagues people currently serving they really share their opinion and the the problem with the police is that they cannot talk out. talk publicly if they come

out publicly and express their views there would be so and sacked so simple as that senior officers i think have a duty to tell the public what is going on and i'd like to see them standing up and being coward but the reality is that they are likely to be sacked because their life career is in the hands of a party politician now the place and crime commission is put in place by theresa my she has taken political control of the police service she has moved the constitutional independence of the police y.a.y. closer to the government and i why from the people the government says it is localizing police autonomy and driving away from central central authority and not alive they say that but what they're doing is they're leaving responsibility with local p.c. sees local chief constables but they're not giving them any power to actually make

any changes they're cutting budgets they're given them a fait accompli and then when crime starts going up and officers disappear off the street in a particular county they start worn off into do with ask. and we've got the ridiculous situation now with tory p.c. season councillors around the country and m.p.'s around the country who have voted for seven nearly eight years of cuts to police saying they're now going hang on a minute where are all our place and then i ask in the local paper so you say now i need to be asking her she's current and she's been told it will that the impact will be as quite a lot of blame for the government but come on i mean the police federation conducted a poll to give police officers for the first to have the right to not they weren't going to strike the right to in the worst circumstances which uses rebating the ability to withdraw their labor there was a majority for the right so apathetic your colleagues they didn't even go of fifty because then bothering to vote. i'm not sure it's apathy the place have got warm

a huge huge strength and that is their dedication and their duty and commitment to their job and serving the public it's why they joined even though lots of them take a pay cut to do it it's why they continue despite all the bile that they're getting from government and from the media despite the fact they get in be and not right left and center and the courts are giving every week a sentences they still go in and they do it again and that's a massive strength but it's also a weakness when it comes to things like pursue in the right to strike they would look at that and go now there's no way we'd have a strike they'd certainly never strike for paying conditions bought it similar to doctors in a way i was going to say exactly that it's like nurses and doctors year they might eventually but you've got to push them so far i personally i think the time has come they're not being listened to by government no matter how they try they're not

being listened to by government and i think they need the right to strike not for paying conditions book to stop the cuts in the service to the public cops around the country are desperate desperate that they cannot do the job that they know they want and should be doing they just can't do it when comes to maintaining public order to raise i'm a famously blamed mit five zero seem to apportion blame on that one m i five for the magister atrocity they give it to terrorists wow protected is britain in this context of cut from terror they have bolstered the specialist counterterrorist unit his own foreign secretary understand and she's she spent money on the spies she spent money on g.c. h.q. she spent money on specially scout police terrorist units congratulate her on that indeed she has improved that but we've still got nowhere near sufficient resources for them to maintain any sort of monitoring let alone twenty four so. and surveillance of the suspects that are you know or are possibly on the radar for an

attack so these are the selector where these go in this shows they will they're always demanding more when he's of course there's a not enough for every turn for sure and if they want to say there's no more money then what the politicians need to do is accept that something can't be done so the politicians need to sit here and say ok we accept that there's three thousand pretty high level terrorist suspects on the books and the current resources they can only watch a few hundred or monitor a few hundred more and we're happy with that and if one happens to fall below what is judged to be that level happens to an atrocity will syria go far in fair enough we knew that we didn't have enough money to do that but they don't they keep trotting out this ridiculous idea that you can do more with less you can't or you get for less is less less money equals fewer place officers all spies or whatever it might be which means less time for policing which means less policing gets done

so if something falls off the radar they won't accept that they keep saying keep implying that the police are making the wrong decisions but when you've got three thousand high level terror suspects in front of you all you can do is do your best on what you know and that's often very little to try and decide which ones are looking like the model that the highest level of threat you made to jeezy h.q. of course it was in the news because karelian has a management role in g c h q if you are still objective chief inspector want to counsel said here look i can't take these shifts because it is amazing shift terms being quoted me or i should go into the private sector what would you tell them if if officers speak to me about leave in place service my advice now is that they need to think about themselves first they are being burnt out their families are being burnt out they cannot sustain the level of stress and the level of long shifts and everything else that's going on permanently. they just can't do it nobody can do it you can't maintain

a caseload of thirty forty more serious cases and we're talking recently about disclosure in serious sexual offense cases people anticipate that if a rape is reported there's a little squad of officers on it certainly for the first few days to go get a hold of it and do the basics with it and then maybe somebody very and keep hold of it on an ongoing basis and the little squad moves on to something else doesn't work like that you've got overworked detectives often have a rand paul role that shouldn't even be doing right investigations in the first place just posted into these units because they can't get anybody else and they're carrying workloads of twenty or thirty or forty ongoing cases that newly reported right will be given to their already overworked officer to fit in amongst everything else they do and i have been warning for a long time that they cannot possibly do all those jobs properly. and yet nobody does anything. you know and the pressure on those officers is incredible we got

more and more officers going sick with stress with officers leaving. a structure like today all health officers leaving him. trying psych you know if you went to victoria now and you want to find an experienced place officer you'd be better off looking in the three eleven from i would say drive his car and he would look in on the streets of london i'm peter thank you and that's it for the show we'll be back on monday just with the father sixteen year old palestinian school go ahead i'll tell me who has been imprisoned for their actions. really soldiers gunned down their relatives protesting illegal occupation in palestine until then you can keep in contact with us by social media we'll see you on monday one hundred forty seven years to the day that i'm a school teacher on the red version of all my first shots to defend the parents called me and they could be a key influence on british suffragette sylvia thank us. here's

what people have been saying about rejecting. pull. out of my way to. marry the same. parent better than. i see you've never heard of. the president of the world bank. sent us an e-mail. right. rather. i'm going to let him but i don't cut him any there and keep an eye on what i have

just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you know most of the. kinds of couldn't you. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now in an extremely more high education the new global economic war. i don't know what a little bit. late last. week. you're going to do with.

the headlines on r.t. international the war on terror is no longer america's top foreign policy priority instead the u.s. will focus on a global power play with russia and china which are its main threats on the world stage that supporting to the secretary of defense james mattis. the second year in office the government is shutting down over a funding bill we take a look back at the highest and lows of the president's tenure so far. and a new red alert as a witch hunt against communism appears on the rise to tell the story of a student who is being bashed for saying in the media that communism never truly.

your latest saturday worldwide news headlines live here from moscow it is r.t. international a very warm welcome to you. so you can just go ahead and forget all about the war on terror because it's russia and china that are now america's biggest threat that's what the u.s. defense secretary james mattis spelled out as he unveiled the country's new foreign policy priorities but i guess the picks up the story trumps new defense doctrine could probably be summed up in just three words bring it on if you challenge it will be your longest and your worst day the war on terror is now secondary the priority is the new great game. proportions great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of u.s. national security the logic here is that technological and hard power gap between

the u.s. and the competition is narrowing and washington simply can't let that happen it cannot expect success tomorrow's conflicts with yesterday's weapons or equipment. investments in space and cyber space nuclear deterrent forces missile defense advanced autonomy systems and resilient and agile logistic will provide our high quality troops what they need to win. i i. that is a new arms race or race is a nuclear arms race at me races cyber race space to win if

that ever made the world a safer place sure we can have competition and all of that internationally but we should be working more cooperatively with each other because last time i heard the cold war was over what i'm really concerned about is that we're going to be seen. draining i drain resources to something we really really don't need already they're talking about a hypersonic fighter who needs it that really requires billions upon billions of dollars of research and development and again it's really aimed at keeping the defense industry in business it's been said that budget cuts have done more damage to the u.s. military than anything else they say is an attempt to undo that damage but these are out of business plans remember the f. thirty five or the colombia class submarines lethal weapons at least when it comes to destroying budgets but then that's what friends are for you know it winston

churchill it once said the only thing harder than fighting with the allies is fighting without them the growing economic strength of today's democracies and partners dictates they must now step up and do more. making everyone else pays this much is part of the plotinus all the fancy toys and europeans especially haven't been all that enthusiastic about spending fortunes in defense understandably but then there's a new domain to fight in the cyber world this is a wild west right now as you know people in their bedrooms can be doing things that are causing your bank account dire problems at this point an urgent challenge and the u.s. is going to overhaul and boosted cyber forces giving them greater capability to deal with the random guys in their bedrooms i think we've got some serious challenges ahead we don't have the resources for the kind of spending that they

want to do and i think we need to be a great deal more concerned about how those finite resources are going to be allocated and we need to be meeting immediate threats and that's terrorism. first year in the white house is being mocked by a government wide shutdown that's after the republican controlled senate refused to approve a bill to fund the government that has been a rather bumpy twelve months for the u.s. president. and now takes a look at how trump's tenure has unfolded so far. when trouble is sworn in a year ago emotions were running high on all sides. the u.s. media described it as a pivotal moment in american history you're not having a terrible terrible dream also you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell it will be very bad americans and others will now die washington d.c. the establishment is terrified and they should be they call that the trump

revolution trump promised to completely overhaul u.s. foreign and economic policy he promised a brave new world that was cheered by his supporters and dreaded by his detractors as a distro be an apocalypse so a year on where are we well with all this america first rhetoric you might have thought that would have meant less interference in other countries well that's not exactly how it played out tonight i ordered a targeted military strike we are so proud of our military that it was another successful event we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary on the home front from promised a new level of protectionism against mexico and china but the usa is increasingly buying more foreign goods and producing less of its own the trade deficit with mexico is up by eleven percent the trade deficit with china is up by seven percent unemployment is low but so are wages there is record amounts of household debt in

the united states right now and retail stores are closing across the country and here's one thing that didn't change between trump and previous administrations during the election trump talked about getting along better with russia and his detractors called him a kremlin puppet but now one year later things which one washington and moscow are about the same as they were before bad for their action by the. congress to put these sanctions in place in the way they do that's the decision they made that made it a very overwhelming way. as you accept we may be at an all time low in terms of the relationship with russia this is built for a long period of time now trump promised to drain the swamp of corruption we are going to dream. of washington d.c. . but it looks like that swamp is still here and deeper than ever policy stay the same our foreign policy is the same the monetary policy in the federal

reserve is the same spending as the same deficits are still rising so there has not been any significant changes in the direction of our country which i had been hoping for is that he has perpetuated so many of our deeply flawed policies especially in foreign policy foreign policy is a little bit more confusing i'm very pleased he's at least made an honest effort that he's reduced the amount of regulations and i think that's one of the reasons we've had an economic boost. and that is that is good and he's made an effort to reduce taxes that's for from perfect but lower taxes less regulation is good and the marketplace is reflecting that oh and don't forget about that wall we're going to build the world we have no choice we have no choice. yeah how's that going we have some wonderful. prototypes that have been put out now

despite the president's ambitious timetable for construction it remains unclear when the wall might actually go up on the surface donald trump looks like a president like no other he's allowed brash he doesn't care about political correctness is even turned twitter into an official white house channel but if you look a little bit closer and judge him by his political actions he's a little bit more the rule than the exception. artsy new york. presidency has also been mocked by a string of quirky catchphrases and diplomatic maneuvers which certainly kept the world and the media guessing what would he be doing next so his odd take on his tenure throughout the year. luke.

donald trump's oath of office means nothing this is one of the most radical it may not be royal speeches we've ever i'm not going to give you can you speak out or you are faked is. donald trump's incoherence is all a direct result of the potential clues in russian close u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion. we've just launched fifteen. heading to iraq where we're headed to syria. heading towards sure. yes.
