this is the only. reason made don't focus on me focus on the destructive radical islamic terrorism that is taking place within the united kingdom we're doing just fine and perhaps a change of heart by president trant in order to repair that relationship he's indicated that he's willing to apologize for retreating britain first if you're telling me that a horrible people horrible racist people i would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that i know nothing about their previous announcement of a potential visit by trump of provoked a backlash amongst british politicians i would not wish to issue any british. to speak in the royal gallery. previous report suggests that mr trump himself postponed a potential visit to the u.k. because he didn't want to be greeted by huge protests and attitudes here really
10:31 pm
changed in recent polls just start more than half fifty six percent of brits don't want president trump to visit if donald trump comes to the u.k. will hold the biggest protest in british history he will be mad by a million of us attempt in a citizen's arrest of him for incitement of racial hatred we spoke to one of the anti trump protest organizers it's a bit disappointing that trump will be visiting and the prime minister treat him as has agreed to meet with him it's not completely surprising to be honest it's disappointing you know and he's accountable to the electorate and i think the population of britain has more than made its views clear in the fact that we don't want trump to visit we cannot stand his views he's no racist tweets that he's come out with his racist policies he's going to come here that that's going to happen we can't do anything about that but whilst he's here we know we will ensure that we have around him you know every step he takes in this country we will be there telling him what we think of him and her. and what we think of his policies should

10:33 pm
security for our friends all around the world no country should be held hostage to a single provider of energy like fall in the united states opposes the north stream to pipeline we see it is undermining europe's overall energy security and stability . provides russia yet another tool to politicize it or jeers it political to or not string to is a major pipeline project designed to pump russian natural gas to europe nordic and baltic countries of great concern it would weaken european energy security germany and austria though support the project and the need for cheaper gas supplies school analysts mattie's don't felt thinks the u.s. is simply trying to boost its share of the european energy market. in the america first policy of president travel in so far as the united states was to export their. conventional gas elegy liquefied natural gas to the
10:34 pm
repeat market the european market is also one of the. they could a big target energy security is not in danger when we have the second string of not st thats for sure you know i mean russia pipeline system and the whole you know infrastructure is more dependent on europe that europe is out of russia so we already reached energy security it's only the question who has you know the biggest share the market. afghanistan has been hit by the deadliest terrorist attack for eight months we'll bring you that story more after the break.
10:35 pm

welcome back has to continue to roll into syria clashes have broken down to an antiwar rally in the german city of cologne. thousands of people showed up at the demonstration demanding ankara's withdrawal from syria's african region where turkey is carrying out what it's called an anti terror a sion police moved in to break up the gathering of the banned kurdish militia flags appeared similar demos held in london the protests come as seven civilians were reportedly killed in a turkish airstrike these are latest pictures from the ground that show the aftermath of that attack and it's feared that the airstrikes may have claimed even more lives with people believed to be trapped under rubble witnesses claim the turkish aerial bombardments are targeting residential areas. there are no military zones here all of them are civilian areas and the civilians were
10:37 pm
asleep it was nothing they bombed even though there were no soldiers here we are all civilians. here a lot michel from about twenty five meters away shrapnel ended up in my hand i wanted to know why they were shelling civilians. turkey says that it's conducting an anti terror peroration against kurdish militia in africa defensive supported by several anti syrian government groups the areas they hold unmarked green the turkish military claims almost four hundred kurdish and eisel fighters have been killed since the start of the operation the un though is concerned claiming five thousand people have fled the area since the start of the conflict nevertheless the turkish leader is repeatedly pouty expand the operation and most recently he claimed that it would be extended all the way to the iraqi border. you know you don't we're going to continue the early french operation until we achieve our goals
10:38 pm
and then as promised we're clear month beach of tourists after that will continue i was trying to go up to the iraqi border until no terrorists are left. president says that turkey will push on with to the city of man beach and then further to the east towards the iraqi border the move would not only mean an all out offensive against the syrian kurds but it could also threaten u.s. personnel who are stationed in the area the turkish foreign ministers urged the us to immediately withdraw from beach and american troops have been assisting the local kurds in their. operation with the pentagon official recently announcing the creation of a thirty thousand strong border security force in the region it was to be comprised largely of kurds but that's something that infuriated ankara and prompted it to launch its attack on kurdish positions in syria u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson later backtracked on the idea saying that if the misspoken in the plans had been misrepresented and he were activist richard becker
10:39 pm
told as washington is caught between two allies but we have what appears to be a somewhat intractable contradiction between the u.s. interest in syria and the u.s. interest in nato and so this is something that they're trying to find a way out of but it's very difficult given the fact that it was the united states along with turkey saudi arabia france britain which caused the destabilization of syria and led to the present circumstances and the united states and the other hand is tied in with the y.p. g. forces inside syria who have been the main fighting forces that the u.s. has been allied with in the battle against isis but more than that to maintain a u.s. presence inside syria which the u.s. military has been declaring is there for indefinitely. a suicide bomber has killed at least ninety five people and injured more than one hundred sixty in the afghan capital local journalist. reports from kabul. we
10:40 pm
understand at this stage that the attacker was in an ambulance he had said he had a patient and he was stopped at the second checkpoint by the police force the attack took place right in the heart of kabul this is not very far from the swedish embassy from the european union from the in the nietzschean embassy and from the high peace council which is down the road the attack shows this constant issue of security and intelligence breaches the area where the attack took place is less than one hundred meters from the office of the police chief of kabul less than twenty meters away from key afghan intelligence facilities once the area is cleared in once the dust settles unfortunately we will be hearing that a lot of those killed ordinary people who are simply the only breadwinners for their families and the people of afghanistan continue to suffer and they continue
10:41 pm
to bear the brunt of this conflict at a time when we also see all sides intensifying the war. the bombing in kabul is the deadliest act of terrorism in afghanistan since a truck blast in may last year claimed one hundred fifty lives and it follows a surge in violence over the past week. earlier this week our militants attacked to save the children office in the city of jalalabad shortly after a car bomb exploded outside the premises of the six people were killed dozens more were injured i still claimed responsibility for the assault last saturday a group of terrorists targeted a luxury hotel in kabul and killed at least twenty two of the taliban that it was behind that atrocity political analyst abdullah says that the afghan security forces like a coherent strategy when it comes to fighting numerous terror groups. the situation is getting from bad to worse the security and the afghan security forces are unable
10:42 pm
you know to have a proper strategy or plan for curbing terrorism not only in kabul city but all over afghanistan and now that we are heading towards the spring. in the next two three months probably insurgent attacks will increase in afghanistan and you might end up losing a few provinces to the hands of taliban the international community. headed by the us government and but the failed strategies we have seen incidents in iraq we have seen you know the situation in libya in other countries and for the past sixteen seventeen years we have been witnessing these foot strategies in afghanistan i don't think you know they have a strategy for afghanistan. staying without international collocate party to be here to bring you up to date next that.
10:43 pm

10:45 pm

10:47 pm
we're going underground as today u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson commemorates the death of auschwitz seventy three years to the day that soviet troops liberated the nazi concentration camp coming up in the show as all the bosses a multi-billion dollar failed multinational covertly in a summoned to westminster for questioning we are one of the german corbin's keep calm and realize the former shadow emergencies minister chris williamson why his party countenance signing deals with the caribbean and the director of global justice now edges a future british labor government to atone for its sins and stop the n.h.s. being used as a cash cow by a profit hungry pharmaceutical industry was. going to face up the reality and take action to save the n.h.s.
10:48 pm
from just by the sounds and. jeremy corbyn let alone u.k. foreign secretary boards johnson slams the government for destroying britain's health care system goal is a ball coming up a debate going on the ground but first while washington decides on yet more sanctions against what it perceives as its nuclear armed opponent moscow it is russia that prepares to host talks on syria in sochi for united states media characterized as fake news by the republic's president this is the kind of reporting to expect on monday his us state funded p.b.s. one of the main drivers of the war these past two years russia's president vladimir putin began an effort to put a greater political stamp on what comes next in syria. it was a confident cruden who declared the end of the syrian civil war is finally in sight and he was clear about who gets the credit as well he might be but why is putin one of the main driver. as of the syrian war surely he is one of the main peace makers
10:49 pm
along with president rouhani of turkey and iran who are meeting to discuss peace in russia on monday surely one of the main drivers of war was this man we organized the friends of syria we are mobilizing humanitarian support and support for the opposition when we went into libya and we were able to immediately stop the massacre there because of the unique circumstances and the coalition that we had helped to organize we also had to make sure that wal-mart about didn't stay there former president obama justifying regime change in syria by bizarrely using libya and defacto supporting the assassination of muammar gaddafi there and tourism a was of course in the u.k. government when it supported destroying africa's richest country and was prime minister when she was arguably one of the main drivers of the syrian war killing maiming or displacing millions we need a political solution a political long term solution which sees a syria without assad who is jury is
10:50 pm
a may only u.k. prime minister because of a defacto billion pound plus bribe to tell other countries who they should or shouldn't be led by and isn't her government support for groups like the white helmets tantamount to being one of the main drivers of the war in syria well arguably it's all over now and while u.k. media outlets like the state mandated b.b.c. and state own channel four continue to broadcast the questionable footage no one at sochi in russia or on monday will be taking any notice of their so-called journalism the three powers of russia turkey and iran will also take less notice of the cia u.s. officials say the president donald trump has decided to end the cia's program of arming syrian surgeons the cia program was launched by them president barack obama in twenty thirteen the cia is reported to have spent up to one billion dollars a year on the theory operations informed opinion in the usa appears to be clearly running ahead. of british mainstream journalists the minority tory government and
10:51 pm
the blairite neocon majority in the bottom entry labor party it's been widely reported that for years now the cia was providing arms intelligence money and other types of support to these armed militants who were working hand in hand and who are working hand in hand and oftentimes under the command of al-qaeda in syria but have donald trump cancelled cia support for so-called moderate rebels dres a millionaire cabinet of continue to support a coup d'etat in syria that's why u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn as well as our next guest oppose the bombing of damascus for chris williams and britain's former shadow emergencies minister money is apparently better spent on health services than bombing urban centers in the middle east he joins me now chris thanks for coming back on the show before we go into health service issues and and other infrastructure issues is it true that around christmas time you advocating the doubling of council tax across this country have no what i've suggested is that local government seized by the initiative by using
10:52 pm
legislation that the tories put in place in two thousand and twelve to offer a range of discount so essentially what you would be able to do is stop the cuts in local government at a stroke by loading the burden on those with the broad shoulders so those basic living in the biggest houses and freeze concept or even reduce it for people living in small the warnings in the band sort of a to see possibly even in even a in some areas there's no one size fits all it will just depend on how many of the long properties in age there are in any given local authority area which would then give local authorities you see to load the burden there but it would have to then be agreed in a referendum on that the two thousand and eleven localism act should be getting that democratic buy in people would have to vote for it but the choice would be either a construct increase across the board of six percent all for most people freeze it and stop the cuts the alternative is increase it for everybody and continue with the cuts i think that's a pretty good deal and a stopgap measure which is well worth considering. is that idea right now what the
10:53 pm
labor party policy is something that came up in my local authority area following the latest iteration of the cuts in darby the council's plan to close the largest give them over to the third sector a lot of local people were asking me what i was going to do about it and it's true that this idea came forward and so therefore been going around speaks people of the country who are interested in this idea no local forces take it but i want to seriously giving it consideration while i want to work they won't stop me because there's we'll talk about labor in a second but. move to boris johnson u.k. foreign secretary is going to join jerry goldman's labor party given that he wants more money for the health service here well i mean a clearly than l. service is in desperate need of investment what we actually need to do it seems to me that with the national you as morris johnson well i buy the idea that we put more money into the national health service but we also need to reform the national health service to kick the privateers out of health care indeed in the aftermath of the karelian scandal we need to remove the private sector from all public services and what they're doing essentially and what has been happening for decades we've
10:54 pm
had of neoliberalism it's something that's afflicted new labor as well is the public services have been used as a cash cow to generate private profit and we're not getting value for money that's the point and i think what we're suggesting is that yes we need to invest more but we want to get more bang for the book as it were and how the proper democratic oversight of the public services the way in which the private is make their margins is by screwing down the workforce that they employ cutting back on their terms and conditions and diminishing the quality of service to the general public and we see that with the crisis in the national health service which is apparently the not the health service never been better prepared for the other. according to the prime minister but the reality is you know i'm going to stocking up any people are dying while they're waiting for an ambulance to arrive are people being treated on corydoras i mean that absolute appalling mess but is it not true that your party when in power is signing off deals with karylle it your leader said no there. no contract signed with the prime minister us i have
10:55 pm
a piece of paper here which has the lead service city east leeds orbital road a preferred bidder signature by the leeds council neighbor for karelian they were signing things off with karelian before the collapse how how could you possibly think of it when i think they retrieved that and i think what we've they have to bear there is no good you know i think they're treated before they actually signed that off but you know we've had as you say there's no contract no record wasn't lying directly but there was a preferred bidder stages given to really after all the profit war yes indeed and the problem has been the model that was held sway for the last four decades is not fit for purpose was really fit for purpose then and for a lot of local authorities a public sector organizations it was a kind of only show in town i mean when i was leader of the council in dalby a number of years ago when i did the first peer fire scheme in the city was during a labor government that's true but it was to bring properties back into use and then to revenue are involved in that i was because it was the only show we see it
10:56 pm
isn't the problem you talk the talk against your liberalism you have a lead council which is trying to have negotiations with karelian while corbin the newly does a no no we don't want private contractors in the health services it's not true is it now it is true and i think you've got to separate the difficulties local authorities find themselves in in terms of the way in which they can access finance and central government what we need is a change in the system and that will only happen when we get a change of government or a change of heart from the agility in a system or a change in people in the labor party who's been appointed shadow secretary of state for northern ireland he will not be used for pharmaceutical companies we're talking to nick dearden in the end of his show about the need for labor to call out the big pharmaceutical companies because they're charging so much in the n.h.s. you do deals with. i mean you have people that explicitly support the big
10:57 pm
pharmaceutical companies well i mean obviously i would have to speak for himself but our position is you know in relation to going forward and how we organize economy is i think very clear on jeremy corbin and i've already accepted the fact that you know for the last forty years almost. gordon brown and tony blair i'm not going to be like tourism in slag your they're all of the organ is different absolutely but how different is he i mean you have a councils in this country labor council get off shoring funds to avoid tax have to go to local well listen local governments is in a paulus situation and i don't know the details about why certain doing that but when local government if it absolutely decimated with funding cuts you know there will be some creative accounts and see going on in order to try to minimise the impact of suspect on frontline services but officer called speak for certain i don't know that a local government is one thing what about the fact that at the conference in brighton widely seen as a successful labor conference there were tables going for more than
10:58 pm
a thousand pounds for pharmaceutical company bosses to come and meet with people in germany gorgons labor party to represent pharmaceuticals in the right new energy future you offer they can they can come and talk to is certainly but i am very strong of a firm view that there is a very powerful case to bring much if not all of the pharmaceutical industry into public ownership because if you look at the cost to the national health service of you know buying drugs medicines from the pharmaceutical industry is colossal and there are a lot of people will argue well you know they make the margins because they put a lot of effort into research to develop it and they got to get their money back somehow i think i'll bet on frankly by the public sector the public sector is perfectly capable of undertaking research that develops and indeed many of the great leaps forward that we've made technologically speaking have actually been achieved funks the innovation in the public sector which is then being exploited by the private sector is what we are the sixth. the richest nation on earth and yet
10:59 pm
we've got people sleeping in shop doorways in every town or city in the country every town or city in the country looking for something's going desperately wrong when that kind of thing is allowed to happen and you know in many ways is a false economy because there are all sorts of costs to the to the health service in terms of criminal. you know the police and the criminal justice system etc who have to pick up the pieces of a broken system i mean you know the former prime minister david cameron used talk about broken britain on going to me all it was broken is broken because of neo liberalism and if it is broken then my goodness me is absolutely smashed to smithereens now of the last eight years of relentless we have many people may agree with you even gordon what you are talking about pharmaceuticals momentum which has been credited with being so important for jeremy corbin's leadership had to come out fighting on the murdoch front pages this week saying we're not going to diesel lect labor m.p.'s are a labor m.p.'s that completely disagree with what you've just said is this way tony
11:00 pm
blair is now back on the seam every other day talking thinking a lot of his allies still in your party ready to take it over i don't think that's a fair characterization actually i mean we've got the democracy review going on right now that's going to be looking at a range of different things about how we elect our leader and so on at the moment the terms of reference don't include how we select our recount if it's for parliament bought that is something which i think if there is lots of representation from party members then i think that's something that they will take on board but the democracy will also be very clear about looking at how we can build this mass movement and how we can integrate the party more ensuite local community so that the labor party isn't you know an institution that does politics to people it does politics with people and i think it's really important we embed the party we are mass movement now but we embed it still further into the local communities that we represent and a lot of work is going to be being done on a lot of consultation is taking place right at this moment in time and you know article.
