11:30 am
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 a question you say carol you are faked is. donald trump's incoherence is all a direct result of a potential collusion russian cohesion u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion. we've just launched fifteen. missiles. into iraq where we're headed to syria. heading towards syria. you just got back from the middle east to get saudi arabia is.
11:31 am
going to go. like. that you. are totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea is a sick copy north korean regime is calling the president were. it's
11:32 am
a load of nonsense obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. we wish you a very happy i don't. think even about what's going on in the love that's all over things we're. all about jerusalem. and some of those issues are already seeping through into the second year of trance and absolutely shocking that's how a group of us republican congressmen reacted after seeing a new top secret intelligence document they believe it details the abuse of surveillance powers under the a bomb a administration. i had that same shock feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our justice department and this f.b.i. that's how serious this is that there has been a real attempt to undermine this president and it's the type of information that we need all americans to see immediately the american people deserve. they must say
11:33 am
they want to know what's in this document sadly much of the mainstream media will not be covering this today but in this house on this day let us know that indeed we are still one nation under god willing to protect life. the content of the secret document is obviously unknown and it's still unclear whether it will ever be released but judging from the comments made by the republicans it's thought it could potentially outline a political bias within the f.b.i. and department of justice during investigations into the so-called rush of collusion claims democrats also were quick to react to the memo denouncing gets contents they call the document a profoundly misleading set of talking points which attacks the f.b.i. and gives a distorted view of the t.v. host and political commentator steve malzberg thinks the democrats have
11:34 am
a reason for wanting to hide the memo from the public. i think it's going to put a bigger cloud than already exists there has been a lot of talk that some members of the obama administration illegally and without any reason or rhyme got warrants against american civilians who were affiliated with trouble with absolutely no reason to have those tain do you think obama didn't know about any of this this was his justice department his f.b.i. they were trying to get hillary elected i think this is going to go right to the top and by the way if this is such a bunch of nothing and that's bad talking points blah blah blah blah blah from adam schiff in the democrats on the committee then why not vote to release it so you could clear all this up whether everybody see it the democrats want to hide this document and we better get to the bottom of it and we all need to see it. a british student has been making headlines after appearing on
11:35 am
a radio show and confessing her sympathy sympathies towards communism twenty four year old fiona law and told the b.b.c. programme the she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didn't actually fail the story whipped up a storm of debate over how universities are leering students to the left with one professor repeatedly quoted saying she's downplaying the crimes of stalin we spoke to her ourselves about the story. i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately talk about the death under the savior but i think this is very much selective outrage the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by so
11:36 am
angry people in the media is owned by a billionaire class that have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines general opinion of the british but. it's not surprising the story was seized upon it seems red alerts have been flashing in the british media more of late much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist known for her concerns about the poor. speed signs that it was forced to lock down her social media accounts due to abuse of the writing that she wants communism for christmas. but does the public share the red fear of the media well according to a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world compare that to global business who nearly a quarter think actually poses the biggest threat is political activist george barda shared his view on the story. what one needs to remember is that anybody of
11:37 am
my age and old in this country and certainly in the us and across much of the west identifies communism in the soviet union and the. left or extreme left as pretty much different aspects of the same thing in the one nine hundred fifty s. when. when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of economic growth and the mainstream foreign policy journalists were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the. system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality where you are up to picking up the pieces off to a huge storm swept across the continent which put the skills of pilots to the test more on that after the short break.
11:38 am
in order to overthrow the regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with 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
11:39 am
otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt that did not have support. welcome back now in france riot police have moved in on the prison in corsica firing tear gas not of the inmates but guards and rest fled while the prison staff had been taking part in a weeklong nationwide strike over what they say are dangerous working conditions including escalating attacks on guards elsewhere in the country the justice minister attempting to solve the crisis received a hostile welcome from angry prison workers. the.
11:40 am
all employees of the prison are in a state of shock we're angry because it's been a week since we created a national movement following the aggression right now we're waiting for the measures that our buses and the penitentiary administration will take with respect to the management of inmates. a number of attacks on guards have been recorded in french presence of ladies and we could go through security staff were injured after an inmate set on set on them with scissors and a razor blade while in another jail on monday seven guards were attacked by an inmate in one case according to officials the perpetrator had been radicalized in prison or following the incidents the prison guards union issued a list of demands aimed at improving their working conditions there are asking officials to create more than a thousand new jobs in french prisons as well as fully isolating radicalised inmates they're also calling for more security forces to protect workers growing discontent led to the nationwide strike which has been burning barricades of tires
11:41 am
outside many facilities. said law for the government our representatives are to blame they don't want to discuss the problem to find a solution to our poor working conditions but we demand an increase in the number of prison guards and also the creation of a special high security wing radicalize prisoners. some of the more determined we are really determined to make ourselves heard and to ensure that our demands are met and we really want work conditions to be changed especially in terms of security. italy's launched a website targeting fake news the move comes ahead of much as
11:42 am
a general election if someone wants to report a fake all they have to do is click a special link online. the service will allow users to identify fake news online a team is being set up to analyze the authenticity of anything fucked up by using special software the italian interior minister has hipped praise on the system but some experts are a little more skeptical. it's an entirely transparent and legitimate public service tool aimed at protecting citizens from unfounded news there is not even the slightest intention to enter the political debate you cannot create a. shocking news because everything that we are talking about
11:43 am
it's an opinion at the end you can check the region of the news you will never a real independent to see what is truth and what is fake so i think we should try to. fix the all media system. to. have an independent media system and then we can talk about thank you's are not. letting up operations underway in germany half of the country and other parts of europe received a battering from strong frederick violent cross winds meant the skills of pilots were tested to their max radios emerged online of what can only be described as something of an extreme landing and does thought of as you can see the plane it takes a pummeling from the wind from side to side looking at times like it might even flip over the pilot battles against the elements every step of the way before finally putting down on the runway of play flight although perhaps some of that
11:44 am
enjoyable for those on. where to get in touch and tell your thoughts on today's stories by following us on social media other back in about thirty minutes with the latest headlines i'll see them. well for the both of. you. it was a little long to sleep. with a an easy air. in the air. you're thinking with.
11:45 am
the end. of the end. of. something that is really important for us. to be only a common market. as we say to be a community of badness don't adopt this view was of proselyting as if you twitter is song here to power that from moscow pride stood dominate to it waheeda
11:46 am
it their way to be unsettled communities it is sitting. in the middle of the sixties there were thirteen million students in rolled in higher education in two thousand and fifteen there were two hundred million in less than fifteen years there expected to be four hundred million dollars which is unity or. you hold. your leverage. while the demand keeps growing university tuition fees skyrocket the world over the cost of education is high increasing. their. work harder is more.
11:47 am
i don't understand how can a school be a scam. in the name of so called economic pragmatism and as a result of international competition university is a turning into a huge money making machine. that all my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be got one. from shanghai to new york paris to go and countries around the world reflect trying different moves each remodelling its system in its own way but at what price and who profits from it was. at the starting point of our story which begins at the end of the ninety's. at that time you had this financial izing itself all the while expanding many intellectuals
11:48 am
european university presidents and expert groups engage in a vast reflection on how to build a more complete more ambitious europe. how to strengthen its intellectual scientific and technological influence. what is the secret of the united states and its economic power. the answer lies in higher education and research. a realm that has become undeniably strategic. well. at the end of the twentieth century american universities prevail and rule europe is afraid afraid of finding itself on the sidelines it needs
11:49 am
a strategy and so european gauges in a series of reforms to make its higher education more competitive so it can serve europe's economy its productivity its job market and its liberal project england will quickly set the tone before anyone else and to get straight to the point. after the second world war we had a system where local education authorities around the country were responsible for providing a grant to students and giving of covering tuitions fees. and that was at a time when roughly three percent of eighteen year olds went to university around twenty thousand a year. all science students will have their first two terms being required to attend lectures on physics chemistry mathematics and biology it will also be possible for science students to major in philosophy. knowledge is not bullshit look at what a huge mitt romney won and covering all sides of all places all.
11:50 am
in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. there was a funding crisis amongst universities lots of vice chancellors complaining that they didn't have enough money to cover the amount of students so now coming through the system so the government commissioned a report and this was called a daring report and that came up with a number of recommendations almost one hundred recommendations roughly half for the government about how it could. maintain sustain and improve higher education in the u.k. and one of the most controversial parts of that report was the introduction of. in one thousand nine hundred seventy the british left led by its young charismatic candidate tony blair wins the elections after eighteen long years of conservative rule. at the age of forty three the head of the labor party takes charge of the
11:51 am
country with a program whose foundation is to apply private sector management models to public services so as to make them more efficient more productive and higher education will be no exception. right. we need to widen access to universities get more money into universities and the best and fairest way to do it is a balance between the state and the graduate situation face became reality and nine hundred ninety eight and it was a key landmark in the history of higher education in the u.k. because at that moment the principle of free education free higher education in the u.k. finished. for this historic reform tony blair introduces the yearly one thousand pound tuition fee a smooth way to start for. prompted by his second term election tony blair
11:52 am
authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three hundred pounds. tony blair head of britain's labor party successfully passed a reform the conservatives would never have dared bring forward. in two thousand and ten the labor party rallies the opposition the coalition made of liberal democrats conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate over tuition fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to authorize tuition fees up to nine thousand pounds all the while reducing the portion of public funding and it catered to universities this new reform violently divides both members of parliament and public opinion that have been very difficult choices to make we have opted for a such of policies that provide a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing a significantly more progressive system of graduate paper instead we inherited and
11:53 am
i'm proud to put forward that magic so this. order. there is nothing a bank that tiny benefit to the lowest income graduates that justifies doubling or tripling the debt of the vast majority of right isn't it credible that the party opposite who actually introduced the principle of graduates paying and voted for to jewish and fee increases is able to drum up quite so much faith anger on the issues out there. any young person asked any young person in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many would say. i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to university i want to achieve something in life. hell that. unless they are
11:54 am
very cool they can have to borrow money to survive to get through university they simply will not do it this decision matters so much to so many people. i'd say to the house if you don't believe in it vote against the interests of the right three hundred twenty three you know for the last three hundred true god. god was when it was really from three thousand that it became one thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds. face or
11:55 am
anything between six thousand and nine thousand and unsurprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students have now half a million students going through every year most of those will be paying a minimum nine thousand pounds a year and that's stans. over the course of fifteen years british politicians are ruling class that had enjoyed free access to education inflicted a paying system on the new generation. british students along with a european fellows now have to deal with these new rulings that's the way it is. they're young they long for a solid future that thirsty for knowledge and dream of climbing the social ladder all that has a price tag and they'd better get used to it. and it i grew up in a working class family in the south of poland the young woman could have enrolled
11:56 am
in a university in krakow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in england and it was granted a student loan to pay for her nine thousand pounds tuition fee. i knew i was going to go abroad to study and i think well for a little while i thought it was going to be scotland but then. i think i decided it was england you know like way back and it just stuck with me and i and i came here and it was it was scary it was so scary because i was away from home i was here alone i didn't have anyone to turn to and look at me now i study chinese of all the crises that i could have chosen i can't wait for you know what the future holds and when i'm going to do i have so many ideas but we'll see. i talk to my grandfather once and we're talking about everything else and then kind
11:57 am
of started talking about university and how much money that costs and everything and i had many thoughts about ok maybe maybe i'll quit maybe i'll you know it's too much maybe it's not worth it and then i realized well how my going to pay it back but that's one of the reasons why i stayed and other reason bigger even is that i like what i do i think i'm not quite sure where that came from my need to go to university i think is because. none none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be that one first person who did that and my mom my mom really wanted me to do that as well she did encourage me strongly i don't know what i would do with her if i fail i would i would feel like i failed her and i never want to do that ever. because being here and doing
11:58 am
what i do and being university is my way of paying her back problem that she's to me i think. oh yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. european students be forced one day to get into debt. should education become a syllable good. must didn't speak um self-made finance he has to earn an education . northern european countries see things a bit differently. the
11:59 am
two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pegs these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline off to almost a decade how good are the results she saw all of the new york city's welcome by the people gathered it was the water of good people with your daughter julie a choice between three to be in full view she thought the climate was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing more than this she was always think it's the family and not getting paid while the same measures still in place to one of the consequences to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the i will first. of this is the
12:00 pm
truth be considered is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision maker. here's what people have been saying about redacted and this is a full on author for all of the real the show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it's the john oliver of our three americas doing the same as a career. apparently better than booth. and see people you never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank. and the woman. sent us an e-mail in order to overthrow the 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 now.
