authorities their. first year in the white house is being marked by a government wide shutdown this is after the senate refused to approve a bill to fund the government among democrats all but five voted against the main sticking point being trump's refusal to include protection for undocumented young immigrants. the republican leadership do the job they are paid to do today they put politics above the national security everyone thinks of themselves as the leader in that building is going to have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they really being true to the ideals of this country democrats hold our local citizens hostage over their breakfast of moms we have a divider in chief in the white house this is behavior the structure just loses not legislated. well this is just the latest example of how bumpy the first twelve

months for the president of been kaleb open takes a look at how trump's tenure has unfolded. 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 met less interference in other countries well that's not exactly how it played out tonight i ordered

a targeted military strike we were part of our military and it was another successful event we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary on the home front some 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 when 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 best the decision they made that made

it very overwhelming was. except 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 drill. 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 am 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 up 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 thrashing 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. tom's

presidency so far spain marked by a string of quirky catchphrases on diplomatic moves which have kept the world and the media guessing what he's going to do next here's our take on his tenure throughout the year. elite. donald trump's oath of office means nothing this is one of the most radical and not your old speeches we've ever i'm not going to give you can you speak out or you are fake it is. donald trump's incoherence has all of the ruckus all for the. chance of losing russian u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion.

we've just launched fifteen missiles heading to iraq where we head into syria. heading towards syria. he just got back from the middle east to the saudi arabia is. going to go to a. meeting with. you're

totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea is a sick puppy and north korean regime is calling president trouble for it's a load of nonsense obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. he wish you a very happy. breakdown and thinking about what is going on and the love that's all over the incident. and all about children. now read his theory has broken out in britain confessed on radio to her support for

communism but explain after this break. the winner take all it's a lottery mentality in america. or you're dead in the pharmaceutical companies or the lobbyists going to washington to change the laws of

a possible to all cost in america and nobody cares because it ever learned a lot more to. come back a student has been making headlines after appearing on a radio show confessing her support for communism twenty four year old fiona lolly told the b.b.c. show that she felt told me this one was never given the chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didn't actually fail and that story whipped up a whole storm of debate over how universities alluring students to the left one professor repeatedly quoted saying she's downplaying the crimes of stalin we spoke

to her ourselves about this media storm. i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the deaths under the save even but i think this is you know 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 people in the media is owned by a billionaire class they 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. perhaps it's not surprising the story was seized upon the seams red alerts had been flashing in the british media more often of late a lot was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist nova her concerns about the poor and the buzz feed science editor felt

compelled to lock down her social media account of the abuse she received for writing she wanted communism for christmas. but does the public share the read fear of the media got into a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world. global business which nearly a quarter think actually poses the biggest threat the school activist george barda shared his views. what one needs to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the us and across much of the west identify communism the soviet union and the like hard 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 the mainstream for policy journals were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized

system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. italy has launched a website targeting fake news the move comes ahead of marches general election somebody wants to report a fake well they've got to do is click special link online. of the service will allow users to identify fake news online team has been set up to analyze the authenticity of anything flagged up using special software the italian interior minister is already hate preys on the system so much but it's a bit 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 brew or people checking news because everything that we are talking about it's an opinion at the end you can check the region of the news you will never read area independent to tell what is truth and what is fake so i i think we should try to fix the all media system took two to two to have an independent media system and then we can talk about thinking as they are not. please thing with the same analogy international i saw from a foot now my colleague kate partridge will bring it up to date and offer them.

something that is bringing bulletin for ease not to be only a common market. as we say to be a community event. to adopt this view was both proselyte as if you twitter is so good to power that from moscow frights damini to it why would the there be to be unsettling to communities with these sort of. this is harlan kentucky. over all of this group the boys if you could walk through street fanny's going to. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal

miners are fed ex. live to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. 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. u.k.

firefighters warning of lives at risk the national health service in crisis and police got steam to disaster for national security times you're watching an emergency special of going underground coming up on the show will the government

learn any lessons from the karelian crisis that's tens of thousands of threatened with losing their jobs in the u.k. we speak to an n.h.s. nurse about the public private partnerships the g. alleges are destroying universal health care system and our austerity cuts killing young people on the streets of britain we speak to a former metropolitan police chief with over twenty years experience about why he believes u.k. prime minister tourism a has blood on their hands what the government is not running really and the government is actually a customer of caribbean according to the pm the british government is merely just another customer of the multi-billion liquidated private contractor chaired by her former corporate responsibility adviser all the more coming up in today's going underground but first across british civic society there appears to be a consensus that years of relative cuts to the n.h.s. universal health care system to bail out the banks have caused a crisis even the normally stoic u.k. health secretary in the past few weeks has apologised for the enforced cancellation of tens of thousands of operations for lack of money that is unacceptable and i

apologize wholeheartedly that apology came before the mass multi-billion pound corporate failure of karelian which while not being able to manage itself was put in charge by theresa may have managing n.h.s. facilities treating patients right across the united kingdom joining me now is an n.h.s. nurse on the front line of britain's universal health care system jackie barrie jackie welcome back to going on the ground eight thousand of karelians twenty thousand staff work in the health sector which means that companies liquidation immediately triggered. emergency plans in britain's universal health care system really just just give us an overview of what the private sector does you know government health care system. affectively the private sector have been at large. national health service for twenty thirty years now successive governments have had a policy of outsourcing low risk high yield lucrative contracts to private

companies things like portraying cleaning maintenance and i've also been involved in the construction of private finance mischief hospitals where effectively the taxpayer pays enormous amounts of money over the odds to private construction firms for shiny hospitals but then gets hired into these thirty year contracts where money is drying out of the service away from the frontline and away from the patients so the idea is not what they say obviously they say the government labor ministers and tory ministers they all say this is a great we're making things more efficient it was you know just rewarding their friends in big multibillion pound contracting firms but i think if we can learn anything from what's happened to korean is that actually that's not the case for successive governments so worship to the old to the free market as the the bail and end off the delivery of goods and services actually today the chickens are coming

home to based the market doesn't work when it comes to the provision of public services essentially what's happened is this government and governments before it have given karelian and companies like karelian by the way they're not the only ones billions of pounds to do work which actually the n.h.s. could do just as well and just as cheaply and these companies have effectively used the n.h.s. as a way of siphoning public money public resources well that we. into the pockets of private shareholders you know the caribbean put that diffidence up last year something like eighteen i seen point four five percent of my time when the news profits were going down so that no these companies don't add any value if anything they just saw some value obama go face saving karelian it operate runs two hundred operating here is three hundred critical care beds does remain website

vision with an already now eleven thousand inpatient beds on the coalface would you see these managers walking around the wards or were these guys so you have people who do and i chest jobsite porto's or kleeneze or people who demand but i don't work for the n.h.s. i work for private companies a lot of these people actually used to be and i just stuff through the outsourcing of contacts to the privatisation process which actually not just the tory government but the labor government before and i've seen a massive proliferation of these sorts of arrangements so work because of effectively been tightened out of the n.h.s. and how can i fit into private contracts which means that the conditions of a changed collectively organized stretching in a way they live in part of why do they leave the private sector because the contracts. the job to do. only are you doing the same

job publicly democratically elected you know we're a labor ministers the blairite and equal been people in the parliamentary labor party they learnt to raise a maze lot with the impress though it's only a website karelians website they have unrivaled experience in managing critical complex environments and assets and they support thousands of patients and health care professionals on a daily basis to begin with words like that that persuaded our democratically elected. politicians that they're the ones to do it no public sector workers like yourself or i mean to survive the marketing might go a wipe actually we've had this government and governments before it which have had an ideological commitment liberalism of. economics where actually it doesn't really matter of all of these companies i. commit to breaking up public services because i feel frightened by what public services

represent and that is the idea that we will pay him what like what we can and take what we made so. the labor party with more of the responsibility because this is all pioneered under brown actually part of the people who supported it mostly the people who try to destroy germany corbin's leadership in the labor party but i think there are some parts of the labor party which have a legacy in privatized nation of the health service and actually goes beyond the tender in the pure process with things like karelian paget's the way that the n.h.s. is structured an organized in itself give you an example there was announcement a couple of weeks ago that fifty thousand and i jest patients were not going to get their elective surgeries in january or february now that's going to impact not just on those patients who are going to have to wait longer for their hips and their knees in their shoulders but it's also going to impact on n.h.s.

trusts because now the n.h.s. is there's no one in h.s. it's divided up into a competitive competitive trusts trusts on the basis of work. and it was under brown that an enormous premium enormous tariff was introduced for elective surgery so it means that the n.h.s. won't get that money and i just trust now won't get that money which is going to push more more trust. into the red in the new financial year and actually that. what the plan for having a well the focus was to try and get. his patients to go in and have their operations done in the private sector so it was about transferring wealth transferring assets out of the public purse and into the hands of private companies obviously the cancellation of tens of thousands of. jeff's surgery appointments like that is unique in advanced economies but the health secretary

jeremy hunt said that had to happen because there was flu that flu every year we know there's going to be flu every year and actually the question isn't did it need to happen or didn't need to happen only operational level actually there on the beds to put these elective surgery patients in a lot of cases but why was that allowed and why is it that we don't have the beds of these patients we have lost over the last six years fifteen thousand beds from the n.h.s. so we don't physically have the beds to put the patients in beyond that even if we have the beds we don't have room in hospitals to put patients because we've had asset stripping where. and where land effectively has been sold off to the private sector and that is a process that big seller right it's reason lies government continues that with out of of staff to look off the patients once they're in the beds so you know we've got an operational crisis in place in the n.h.s.

i try just the health secretary hunted the tory party coverage in manchester but there's this question why the nurses now leaving the national health service. well we haven't had a pay rise in seven is in fact we have had a real time spike cut your fourteen percent i've lost seven years. workload has increased exponentially where unsupported we have enough. staff to do the job so when you don't have enough staff that increases eleven stress makes it even harder over shifts for nurses and hospital. it depends if everything minus thirteen hours and overrule over what we are undervalued we are underpaid. and for the first time in my in my professional life if i met a young person who said that they were considering asking i would not encourage

them actively discourage them i suppose the defenders near liberalism would say the british actress had to fund the bailing out of the city of london therefore britain's national service already funded a whole of the levels percentage of g.d.p. that the united states is is there in germany and france it has to be cut further critics of course say that it's a deliberate attempt to force people to go private and kill off the n.h.s. where still you have you witnessed the. people around you see new doctors and so on saying maybe you should go private but you know i don't think it's just saying it out. some people in the n.h.s. who are completely ground down but this government's attempt to dismantle our service that i don't necessarily feel like there's any other option however as a child genius and as a health campaigner i feel that we've got a responsibility to give some leadership to people inside actually to noble the n.h.s. is the single greatest achievement of british working people collectively taking

action and fighting for something and if we are prepared to let that go we would open up a door to a system not what they have in america now the reason i spend so much more as a percentage of g.d.p. in the united states and we do in the u.k. is because the market is fundamentally an inefficient system the delivery of health care we've witnessed this just over the last couple of days with the collapse of korea we want to a good thing here and we need to fight not just to defend what we've got. but actually to type back into public ownership the karelian contacts the g four s. contrast contrast the people that are running on didn't service up and down the country or the people running community services furch inc had. built i fully into quite its national health and social care service no in the prices of cuts and privatization but on the prices of a democratic public ownership so that we can gave the cash that we're trying for so

long to be able to expect a big difference ration of every word i think the demonstration of that effect it's got the upper the potential to be a real lightning rod for a lot of the anger that is out there we have got people dying in college or is on trial days in time without seeing a doctor over nice that is the situation is an except in a play lap to everybody who's watching if you can come down to london on the third of february to type in a demonstration as a get involved in a movement up and down the country in your community to defend the national have said this and to send this government back and jackie barry thank you after the break we'll juries are very be held responsible for future terror attacks we speak of over metropolitan police with over twenty years experience you believe the government is lying to you about protecting your safety and the minority leader is really doesn't even recognize a question from jeremy call with me now are you

a visionary british pm all this more coming up about going underground. so what. would. you. remove last winter nobody outside the building which originally were going to move through about. you know one of the of them stood up and we will push it out so i. think i thank you for time magazine doodles are up on what i would describe as more we leave that to cook's beliefs now t.g.t. easy chose reason you took the stage. he was mostly on the bench. the prosecutor the wind machine you can you get other qualities up when you get

getting us all the mice.
