says your party glorifies terrorism well we don't say we stand with victims and and say i want to give expression and voice to the victims who stand in parliament score and talking about their kids you know this isn't a vocation for you and you know we stand up you know we long call for a truth and reconciliation process to be able to deal with the conflict and the facts of legacy and our political process the british government didn't want british government to hide behind national security they want to hide behind reduction of documents when it comes to these inquests i want to star these inquests of funds we know for example in the five year period sixty nine to seventy four were the real the absolution of the military process in ireland there british armed forces responsible for two thirds of civilians killed on armed on armed civilians killed but the military police controlled investigations that's why we're a situation i were families are looking for some sort of truth and justice when it comes to the murder of their loved ones so it's like we're going through the good friday agreement all over again will she informed consent ever to resuming the

parliament in northern ireland in stormont as long as the government refuses an inquiry into the valley where a few months ago and the northern ireland government refused to fund the inquest which starts in september we would be back into the evolution tomorrow if the british government and other parties lived up to compromises and implemented deals already made and we were talking here about british orders who shot dead enders and civilians on the streets of london and then wanted arms in front of the courts it absolutely would not be tolerated so why would why should it be tolerated in belfast and just very briefly and then you get more information rather like an island massacre on eighteenth june one thousand nine hundred four is what really keeps were british military agents imported weapons from the party so the african n.t.r. learned military agents fired their weapons on the native killed six innocent man who were watching a world cup football match and then as the police almost one report has revealed last year the police think colluded to cover up what help. these paramilitaries

links to all the info is just biology well again there has been. resistance which many do you remember have been stood on platforms with thoughts why are pasta so contested i'm not so warm and i give again the chilean goes to say look it's not right to sit and i have retarded on them trying to use pet projects on to the very delicate peace process in ireland you need to become involved need to travel to ireland and speak to victims families enough with us to help them criticize it thank you after the break elementary offenses. and xenophobia we speak to margaret thatcher is head of the diplomatic service about the island they do support for apartheid in south africa design is i'm risking the lives of seventy thousand vietnamese boat people all the civil coming up about to have going on the ground. so.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. somehow i want to be preached. to going to be this is what the full story of the more people. i'm interested always in the long. chose seemed wrong. but old roles just don't go all. the way to get to shape out of this day you can stick out to it and engage with equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. hey everybody i'm stephen. hollywood. proud american interests george bush are you see this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country and shooting the good fun every day americans. start to bridge the gap this is the great american.

welcome back where plans for margaret thatcher's statue alongside alleged war criminal winston churchill on parliament square were ject it because of revelations it on next guest's book maybe not but there's no doubt that britain's former diplomatic service chief has created waves with this month's publication of his diaries behind diplomatic lines relations with ministers lloyd wright former ambassador to syria and saudi arabia service permanent undersecretary of state for foreign affairs and as head of the u.k. diplomatic service he joins me now thanks a lot right for covering on the show what exactly was mrs thatcher's view all for the emancipation of the black majority in south africa well i've recorded the conversation with me before i became p u s now about the u.s. stands for secretary. but i have recorded the conversations i had when i was invited to lunch for my previous house who is going to washington. and

my recollection of the conversation was that mrs thatcher shared a very marked preference for maintaining a. white majority. land in southern africa. it's not that surprising given there were hangnails and mandela t. shirts on i don't really own conservative used but it was a view which was. contested by the foreign secretary of and so on by geoffrey howe i'm not from moment suggesting that it was southern africa that was the main difference or difficulty between the prime minister and geoffrey there were also personality differences. with margaret thatcher is quoted in the book i've been over there it's correct as describing jeffrey as a new bumbler but i think in fact her treatment of geoffrey was frankly

questionable. there's a story came recorded in the doris of how i think mrs thatcher was receiving and as and when told to jeffrey was waiting to see her she said he can wait well i mean think that that is merely an example of the way in which frankly she treated him quite on happily deliver the murdoch editor well this is. you know description in the doris of a meeting are following the. the sort of exception meeting in london of the of the commonwealth. when geoffrey howe invited me to go with him to the internet. and mrs thatcher started to attack geoffrey howe who opened his box and pulled out some signatures and sat doing some signatures which considerably put margaret thatcher out so she turned her far on to me. what did she

say to you i didn't or remember what she said because she clearly she clearly said what she would have said to geoffrey. is no longer with us without say geoffrey our lord how he got his own back in effect i should do so using this is just one. criticism of my daria's which i've read in the press and that is why attack someone criticize somebody who is long since dead the answer is that these diaries record events twenty seven years ago indeed actually they could have been they could have been clear through the twenty year rule but i received another seven years to read it. but i think that's why. they. are being printed now that mrs thatcher has long since did jeffrey howard's long since the douglas heard is sadly you know him and john major is there to read the

book as he wants but douglas heard quoted in this book seems to back up your recall recollections here saying in a cabinet of a cabinet meeting three items parliamentary affairs home affairs and xenophobia this was not just her coming in the. was she was lady thatcher xenophobic as douglas heard a bit later thought she had i mean i don't i don't i don't want to you know was she a racist or did this give him prettier politics i want to give the impression that i'm universally critical of lady thatcher who is wrong no it doesn't come out with was you raise along with dr minister but one thing that did disturb us in the foreign office numbers i think of considerable. a considerable problem in our foreign affairs was her dislike of germans. now germany was and is now even more so a very very important member of the european union but then it was extremely

important on the chancellor co margaret thatcher never acquired a relationship the chancellor merkel which could remove being called so possible and could changing relations within what was it was the european union it was after the indeed indeed but she also was very critical of germans i mean of german speakers and this led her to be very queen's that of her veins enough to be in the sense that when when austria was considered to be a member of the european union which was very small in those days. margaret thatcher was very much against the idea she thought that it was going all going to be wrong from germany but about racism was she saw south africa as a geopolitical no i wouldn't say she was racist certain but and i think this is

a case where i would prefer margaret thatcher to be transfer my criticisms than for me to make from an ounce of ok but you say that one of her worst she was at her worst when in your experience over the vietnam boat people that seventy thousand refugees of course were in danger of drowning there was a danger of disagreement between geoffrey a margaret thatcher on the treatment of vietnamese people i should say that that was during my time as permanent under-secretary that was probably the one case where we had a significant difference from the united states but memories of palestinians not being allowed into palestine into israel. the very very sensitive question in your book very aware. all through it that the foreign office had a reputation win when you were in it to being pro arab and anti israel particularly

in the context of it is that you're having a constituency in north london with a lot of jewish constituents right well as an arab east and having been towards arabic when i joined the foreign office i was very conscious of this. myth if i may consider that the foreign office was totally biased on the side of the arabs we were not anti israel but we were considerably so we were aware of what was going on in the arab world because we serve. in order to try and correct this when i was head of a foreign office i made it very very careful i was very careful to develop relations with the jewish community a number i visited israel during my time as peiris and i really worked quite hard at it i think my diaries reveal that i attended the ceremony in the albert hall to celebrate the anniversary was the anniversary of israel's foundation

and although i perhaps took exception of a hat that be talked about we sang i think about the return of the jews to an empty course on mt here earlier i never this was very kind of you to emphasize to the rabbi chief rabbi who is that by design to improve relations with you he was convinced some of us zionist view is probably still don't convince me it was the reputation come from i think i probably did convince him but if not i may be a first for it but where did the reputation come from. reputation i think is largely invented by the by the media but also i think you know when when the large number of people served in the middle east they tend to give the impression that they're reflecting

a corporate view and the president that i want to try to correct and it was not for jewish community also helped me is try to correct because one foreign office minister during your tenure david mellor. people people they remember. he was moved out because of saying a few things that many people who are listed in would say are quite minor i think of your bike it's a bit far to say he was moved out but certainly he did get into trouble over remarks he made to israeli officers you're doing just mind as of officers well he went on a visit to israel and quite early on sol some met some jewish officers who were in charge of a camp a camp a palestinian camp and he spoke perhaps in rather lurid language of the way in which they were treating their palestinian community and he got into great trouble

for this did you feel when you visited the british embassy and in israel the plight of the palestinians you saw you know i also visited the consul general in jerusalem who of course was our diplomatic contact because we didn't recognize israel jews from the like washington like ross into and i was i mean i was. introduced to a large number of palestinians during my visits truth to them and that actually on both sides the relationship was good she still is still a diplomat but you say israel was impeding the reunification of families certainly i don't i mean i think there were a lot of problems with israeli behavior. some of which i think margaret thatcher as the m.p. for finchley. took to heart and in fact there's

a story in my diary is of how she sent a message to geoffrey how in. knox or i think. foreign secretary foreign secretary telling him to calm his. comment i have stopped talking about a palestinian solution. how difficult is it to get a book like this cleared in the book you seem to advise david owen. the former foreign secretary of clearing any memoirs with you know i did the personal basis and told david i thought he probably submitted a clearance he question but there we are that's his the reference is runway six then a reference to a secluded area which i did i did. not draw off to. go to the foreign office in fact i think the cabinet office are responsible for clearing

drafts of the source but i got foreign office clearance and it was a triple the size before they got to it the next time you'll have to come on as as lord right talking about syria and perhaps our servant opposition to look forward to his journey but as well all right thank you and that's it for the show and does the bricks it bill passes allow into the house of lords will be back on wednesday this week the former secretary of the treasury lord flight about why bricks it could be a win for the city of london until then you. will feel wednesday fifteen years to the day that according to a secret memo tony blair allegedly plotted the iraq war with u.s. president george w. bush in the white house with or without a u.n. resolution. that your sudden passing i found the just learnt you worry yourself in taking your

last bang turn. here at me on doing what i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each parent. but then my feeling started chain. you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question are. secretly promised to never be like it said one does not need a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with the death of this woman to france to speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman ija billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like no one else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so well paul chimes for playing. the bass this morning. zia's says harlan kentucky. boys you go three families are you. a co money city with no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines the

said i'd. love to see these people a survivor. 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 how it's happened. the headlines on our t.v. international islamic state claims that carried off the top of the military academy in kabul killing five servicemen and injuring twenty it is at the latest in a string of terrorist atrocities in afghanistan that have left over one hundred people dead. the troops paralympians find out today whether they'll be able to take part in the upcoming winter games after they were forced to miss the summer olympics and twenty sixteen. high street explodes giant h. and m.

is a brawl that enough another controversy after shoppers claim to see the wood written on his new saw on the program we round up some of the many other things that have offended the public as of late. welcome to the program here want to see international we have your latest world headlines and we do start this hour with breaking news at the world the anti doping agency has opened a. new investigation of a claims that bottles with athletes samples could easily be opened while frozen that's amid accusations that russian officials tampered with samples by opening bottles and changing their contents during the software lympics and twenty fourteen meanwhile in related news well today is probably the most important day for russia's paralympic team in more than a year and if you alex the international paralympic committee will decide whether

russian athletes can compete in the twenty eighteen winter games back in twenty sixteen the committee imposed a blanket ban on russia's paralympians weeks before the rio paralympics. which is shows that the most to you but if this is what's occurred there will be repeated that you were told. that if you were so good to hear such a big scare you put your people to work for the chief. sponsor. which i'm sure to those in the midst of the security fucked it up

a little book deal so you know what i want to. design. because let's. look at it because it will store george to be words that he made because you could probably ever. but you could get all the photos of the nazi chairs the street sick you got to suppress the good disease you see you move so you start all you. well you see what and what you said what did mr what. do you think she wanted to know what's. the story really at the news it. was that the russians were.

ahead of the i.p.c. verdict calls for a complete ban on russian paralympians have been heard and the head of germany's paralympic committee said the decision should not differ from that which was taken before rio but last month the i.p.c. said that russia had failed to meet five conditions for it to be allowed to compete again. evolution or takes a closer look at the russian paralympic saga. all of them have a disability but each and every one of them have proven themselves very able they spent years defying the odds training for the rio twenty sixteen paralympics they had a dream but what they got instead was reality. delivered from the word you should ideally university to the. warming of the. world to. know.

my using smoke not oh yes i want to see in the uk. pipes to post but it is all that may. cause all storm systems now but i live. coverage i do look. these people are cheats apparently by the standards of the international paralympic committee at least weeks before the games in brazil the whole russian team was hit with a blanket ban not a single athlete allowed to participate the decision was based on a report. it's evidence and key witness still suspicious to those named and shamed the mclaren investigation accused russia of running and a labrador scheme orchestrated by the kremlin store brass according to the report a key russian lab routinely swapped dirty samples for clean ones resealing the bottles how did the russians do it a lot of people would love to hear mclaren's take on this including the manufacture

of sample bottles itself which markets them as tamper proof well instead mclaren says his word is evidence enough to have seen it i've seen it done in i've inspected it and it can be done it can be reinserted we don't know how the russians did it but we know they can be done well a recent email leaked by the fancy bears hacking group suggests otherwise according to claims the real doping laboratory questioned the standards of the sample bottles some simply cracked when trying to force them open the leaks also suggest a motive behind the report to wrestle russia out of international sporting events. it seems the richard mclaren's first report was intended to lead to the complete expulsion of the russian team from the rio games and the second report to expose the russian team from the puncturing games russian samples despite the flaws somehow only had my cross corporate scratches the report revolves around the

eyewitness account of grigori watch uncovered he is the former head of moscow's anti doping lab and says he was one of the cogs in the dock in conspiracy in russia he's a wanted man facing charges for destroying doping samples and abusing authority these is a clear violation of the burden of proof and assumption of innocence it is and legally not acceptable in doping cases it is a well established rule you have to prove as a doping agency that for ninety nine point nine percent somebody has doped and mclaren report is not proven enough to make a collective ban on all athletes there must be something else and details is politics presumption of innocence out of the window guilty by association these people have been stripped of everything their flag national anthem and colors

we care about how the russians completing it so they adopted the right policy but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation in the wake of the scandal russia admitted to having a doping problem and has since tightened the legal screws only a handful of countries across europe consider doping a criminal offense russia now does yet the paralympic committee's decision has been to ban and those guilty by association good sports capital punishment. r.t. . islamic state says it carried out an attack on a military academy in the afghan capital killing five servicemen and injuring twenty local journalist. reports there were five suicide attackers two of them

killed by afghan national security forces and the other two of them did explosives and one of them was detained said jacket a rocket propelled grenade in four forty seven's were seized the. almost. about four hours residence in that area reported hearing loud explosions there was the use of having small weapons so the fact that these militant groups can't really strike while in target these key military institutions as well as. security areas in kabul remains a serious source of concern for people living here in kabul today's attack is. deadly one for the afghan national security forces remember they were killed not on the front line somewhere in some of the more district or in the province where this is every day of fighting i think that alone tells you that cities including kabul

is becoming another. front in the afghan government just continues to struggle to prevent these militants from carrying out these attacks the country has been suffering from a spike of terror lately with three major incidents in just the past week.
