welcome back fashion as always arguably been political while channel gucci and boss prove their right wing good. drills wires help broaden westward have signaled and the imperialism and while all of fashion except the tour finds itself under scrutiny over labor practices this week's london fashion week contends with a britain about to depending on your brakes a divert expand into the wider world or retreat into homespun isolationism joining me now is james andrea rhodes who was dressed everyone from princess diana and jackie onassis to elizabeth taylor and freddie mercury she opened this is london fashion week festival on the twenty second of february so under thanks so much for coming on and so i first of all here just tell me about the festival which is slightly separate a lot of fashion will i think is to give a lovely continuation so that no i mean everyone does the press you wait go go go go and then everyone rushes off is to give it give us a little more atmosphere here in london i think it's
11:04 pm
a great idea ok well i just said the couture norgate insult after a bad labor practices thanks to the seamstress unions and so on can mass fashion really ever be good for worker rights alone the environment it's a very difficult subject because if you're talking about mass fashion you're always going to be talking about cutting costs and how you make things less expensive i mean i think worldwide we've always all got to think about how we can make out clothes last longer not always because of the what's happening to the atmosphere but why should we always have to have new year new you been seeing things like this arguably for maybe not quite as long as prince charles has been saying similar things that people street which have your that initiative happen before the run of blows a disaster in bangladesh implicating prime or madeleine l'engle monsoon wal-mart which killed or injured three thousand six hundred people i mean i went over there with people trade interviewed some of the people who'd actually seen in that
11:05 pm
building it was quite terrifying really that whole experience i mean i don't know what we can do about it because people are still going to want to buy this economic uprise one sustainable but for mass fashion that could be it could. destroy itself what do you think about with bricks at me still. challenging times for fashion coming from this guy i can't bear to think about it i did not vote for breakfast i kept hoping that they'd say what we made a mistake let's do another vote in the mean time that's what's happened then we'll have to wait and see what happens i mean what does it mean for london fashion designers or fashion designers or the rest don't yet know do way i mean we're all going to continue to do sawin is possible that it's going to be more difficult for those of us the going to show in italy or from us and it might be a bit easier if you're sharing in the rest of the world right i really don't feel we can predict anything we have to now wait and see what really does happen but it could be
11:06 pm
a bright or is johnson that future of london beijing shanghai i don't have a choice anyway i do really i mean considering there was a joy old british people you know virtual sadness already over brooke. but i mean we we all were all going to keep deciding where all going to kick designing somehow and i do think this country attracts talent a breeds talent and we have wonderful art colleges that i think there are people still going to come here and we're just going to have to wait and see what really happens in reality even if it could be a russian plot the bracks a referendum or i know you said in the past about whether the russians got trump elected. well it might they lost him because you've reported he got a bust of putin let him repeat it oh i do i got a bill is passed in fact i did a show in russia and one of my russian friends came out and gave me this wonderful money box of putin and we painted to love the need so he's golden all sorts of
11:07 pm
bright colors and he sits in my studio he's very happy that he doesn't live that has not yet. worries that fashion associates with politics i mean i said in. the intro there about how when chanel about n.c.r. goes about fascism in spain real seller was a bit of a left in paris. as it were the left what is it about fashion and well i mean that moment in the fashion textile museum that i founded we've just opened an exhibition on statement t. shirts so we've got wonderful vivienne westwood one one with breasts and all the different statements so i think you've got the fashion. of course exactly and you're going to have them making this statement and that's what some people want to wear and then i've got mine the kind of statement i wear and i should just that when it comes to grow it's in the cost of training in fashion any concerns that
11:08 pm
you've heard about increasing costs putting people off from entering the fashion world given that britain is famous also for working class fashion designers i think this is going to be room for everyone i mean i just think that what's going to really happen is instead of things being bought fashion you're going to find that there might be more and more small things in communities one hopes that instead of always being focused on london or scotland or island you're going to have small individual communities that aren't necessarily making boak fashion but making a step this statement of their own i think that's a possibility too even though things are so cheap now in the street arguably if you're in just for inflation you can buy and throw away for i find it was terribly sad thinking that people would buy and throw away i hope it would be more like bar i get tired of it every work or pass it on them is on the road thank you pleasure.
11:09 pm
well it's certainly fashionable in nato nations now to express just pray at the state of international relations the doomsday clock is now closer to nuclear armageddon than it's ever been arguably in part because donald trump's finger is point. over the red button that not only controls billions of dollars of u.s. nuclear weaponry but britons as well sixty years ago today the campaign for nuclear disarmament was founded and the images of arguments put forth in its early years are arguably just as relevant as they were then deputy editor sebastian packer went to speak to see in these general secretary kate hudson and artist peter kenyon odd who has been working with the campaign for nuclear disarmament for nearly forty years we know. about nuclear weapons because really in hiroshima i was seeing the suffering the horror of that and yet we've got to imagine the into our own environment we've got to imagine it as what could happen across the world on this we do something about it.
11:10 pm
well we say that c.n.d. is one of britain's most enduring mass movements it was founded in one nine hundred fifty eight in the midst of absolutely enormous public concern about nuclear weapons so the first demonstration took place in one nine hundred fifty eight the first mass meeting which found its c.n.d. took place on the seventeenth of february nine hundred fifty eight so sixty years ago today the first meeting had about five thousand people attending and from then on from strength to strength hundreds of thousands of people became involved over the next few years demonstrations protests protests basis sit downs in westminster you name it that was taking place i saw it working. c.n.d. i think it was seventy nine and it was when cruise missiles it was announced that
11:11 pm
we're going to come to greenham common and most were us. went to see andy and this was in seventy nine they were very small. organization i remember a time in a room. and. everyone was just about. people just sitting on the floor of a port k.c. and i was tiny as an artist what i didn't want to see in my studio you know waiting for the muse to descend i wanted to actually get involved in things so the first one i did was the broken missile with the c. and d. symbol and they're all made very crudely i actually went to hamlet which is the big toy shop and they seem to have a guided missile department for ten year olds so i bought some plastic missiles and then smash them up with a hammer and then photograph them so the actual original is crude which i
11:12 pm
live and then that was used by seeing the. posters at the time. we had the big marches in the beginning of the eighty's suddenly. escalated it suddenly had quarter of a million members. norma's demonstrations. cruise missiles. in the arrival of cruise missiles was the turning point. for cindy in terms of people's involvement today our government saying that they wanted to replace trident nuclear weapons system our nuclear weapon system vos costs so massive popular opposition to that the overwhelming majority of people would draw up a spend that money on on health on social care education homes and so on spending it on weapons of mass destruction very shocking for everyone i think to see last week the report that a homeless person had died just in the proximity of the houses of parliament from
11:13 pm
cold sleeping rough in the street there's no there's no rational explanation i think for all decent people who are. the overwhelming majority of people here and elsewhere it's just inconceivable that people would choose people in power would choose to spend our heart of taxpayers' money on weapons of mass destruction that can kill millions of people rather than spending it on ensuring people's needs are met with a pit that people in the twenty first century should dari on the streets of london close to parliament it's it's just unbelievable we need media reorientation of our national priorities and i believe the people as a whole the majority of the people share those common values with us this is a normal human concern value it's the government that's out of step it's the political elite that's out of step the government didn't actually want anyone to
11:14 pm
see the realities of it they didn't want nuclear weapons to be connected to the horrors of hiroshima rich. iran knew about where they were they wanted to sort of make nuclear weapons were possible they were say a thing of something that's. something that's completely. turned into something that's every day that's what i've always been trying to town to with that's what cindy is trying to counter to this sense that we can live with these things and it's quite so have them. and you know it isn't. going to explode all over the. program with a couple years ago. and you know we've still got we've got this. madness of the world spending. two hundred thirty billion on this reconditioning trident.
11:15 pm
each each missiles equal to thirty russia's i mean the madness of nuclear weapons gets more and more intense now with trump saying that we're going to make use of nuclear weapons and joking about the saudis but in all this you know you just can't believe it because nuclear weapons a minute they start going to blow up the world and they're in the hands of complete crazy weather and all crazy the power hungry maniacs. and so the imagery that i started by making in the eighty's is still as relevant and it's good that it's being used again but it's horrific that it needs to be used again it's a shame in many ways that we still have to use his image and new images against us that we still have to carry on sixty years on but the dangers are there the dangers to regain increasing in becoming grace us that we will continue to work with peter
11:16 pm
and to work with the hundreds of thousands of other really dedicated people across britain our partners internationally will carry on working together until nuclear weapons are finally abolished. one of britain's greatest artist peter cannot and c.n.d. general secretary kate hudson talking to going on the ground deputy had just passed a packet and that's it for the show we're back on monday when we go to iraq to save the children office to ask about u.k. u.s. airstrikes are affecting their humanitarian work today jill that he doesn't actually you will see on monday one hundred five years to the day suffragettes fighting for female equality formed the house of u.k. charts of the jacka david lloyd george.
11:17 pm
palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill for it was dismissive to do it loving you i committed it this isn't my cup of tea is going up the study hall may be a bit. old john no doubt does. the only palestinians it gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is about those who in the world under the oak vision did not only could do this. and that is a lot about that as to how to display any of the muscle that you had i not going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more commitments also don't piss off. by. most losing almost by smelling
11:18 pm
11:19 pm

question are said to formulate the plans to bolster donald trump and disparage hillary clinton using methods ranging from organizing political rallies to posing as grassroots groups but some of the tactics listed are questionable and one instance russians are said to have fun the construction of a cage aboard a flatbed truck and then to have paid someone to wear a costume portraying clinton in a prison uniform to sit in it defense also allegedly purchased advertisements on facebook to promote a rally. titled support hillary save american muslims not sure how that fits in with the pro trump anti hillary agenda and let's not forget efforts claim to have been made on social media where the russians are meant to have use fake identities to push divisive hashtags and topics according to the document the fake accounts became the means to reach quote significant numbers of americans however when platforms like facebook and twitter were grilled about what part their companies may have played in the alleged meddling they testified that the influence was minimal. we determined that the number of accounts we could link to
11:24 pm
russia and that we're tweeting election related content was comparatively small. aggregate of these ads and posts were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much . these videos mostly had low view counts. and it looks like at the end of the day all of those efforts were in vain at least according to the u.s. deputy attorney general there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge
11:25 pm
conduct alter the outcome of the twenty sixteen election now this development came out of nowhere and something worth noting is that all the accused are private individuals and companies the indictment is silent when it comes to trump kremlin collusion the goal of the whole investigation. well president trent reacted on twitter saying his campaign did nothing wrong he also reiterated accusations that russia began its alleged anti us campaign in twenty fourteen before he announced his presidential bid in a separate statement he called for bipartisan unity claiming discord serves the goals of so-called bad actors like russia writer and private investor charles or tel believes the indictment serves to cover up other failures by the f.b.i. after so many months of work going to have so many millions of dollars spent by the moeller team this is not seem to me to be much of a harvest. and you know i think it needs to be seen in context our f.b.i.
11:26 pm
as we saw sadly in florida is tasked with many pressing issues this image of slipped up in florida they slipped up on the brothers they slipped up on many other things and you know why are so much resource so many resources being spent to get such a low yield here especially considering that molar was head of the f.b.i. from the temper of the fourth two thousand and one until september fourth two thousand and thirteen so it can he pursue any of these. inquiries free of conflicts of interest you know what what would he have been doing back in two thousand and eight nine ten in connection with other russian related inquiries that he may or may not want to see come to light so i think you this is a very disappointing harvest. all the indictments come as the f.b.i. faces heavy criticism over wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida the bureau admitted it failed to react to pry a tip offs on the danger posed by the suspect accused of killing seventeen people
11:27 pm
florida's governor rick scott has called on the f.b.i. director to resign. the f.b.i. says failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable seventeen innocent people are dead and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cause it and apology will never bring the seventeen floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain the families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen an apology will never give them the answers they desperately need the f.b.i. director needs to resign well the law enforcement authorities admitted they had had over a dozen calls regarding the suspect and for several years. we have uncovered at the broward sheriff's office that we've had approximately twenty calls for service over the last two years regarding the killer the f.b.i. has a term and their protocol was not followed. the information was not provided to the
11:28 pm
bombing field office. and no further investigation was conducted at that. when in particular the f.b.i. had been given information about the suspects and gun ownership and his social media posts also flagged up where his alleged desire to kill people erratic behavior and potential to conduct a school shooting a man who won't the security service about the suspect has spoken about what led him to raise the alarm. september twenty fourth two thousand and seventeen i sent a screenshot of a comment on one of my videos you know this comment said i'm going to be a professional school shooter and i knew that i could just ignore that i hit the report but report it to you. of course they remove the comment and then i try to email it so that we are wednesday shooting in the florida city of parkland was allegedly conducted by a former student it left seventeen people dead and around
11:29 pm
a dozen injured the nineteen year old suspect was detained by police on the day of the massacre his case and how the f.b.i. failed to recognize early warning signs is now being investigated. on saturday hundreds of people including survivors gathered in the nearby city of fort lauderdale they condemned florida's existing gun laws and rallied against the national rifle association. well meanwhile u.s. attorney general jeff sessions is calling for an immediate review of the f.b.i. and the department of justice florida isn't the first deadly attack that could have been avoided had more attention been paid to his own teeth caleb maupin explains nicholas cruz isn't the only mass killer to be on the radar screen of the f.b.i. before conducting their crime all marma teen who shot up the post nightclub killing forty nine people in orlando florida was investigated by the f.b.i. twice before he committed his mass murder.
11:30 pm
turns out they deemed him not to be dangerous that all forget about dylan rufe the self-proclaimed white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers in south carolina. well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there is no adel hassan he shot up a u.s. military post in texas back in two thousand and nine. times out the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate i think we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the ball in terms of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats
