says one thing while his generals do otherwise also brinkmanship with north korea is it working in one movie in the u.s. embassy to jerusalem is still a bad idea. in london british victims of the active ingredient in come to gun have teamed up and formed a group called solidify trust. to bias aren't presenting his findings from the german archives. letters files of minutes outlining the role politics played during the criminal trial against the manufacture of good intel these documents shed new light on what happened fifty five years ago. it isn't just british that it might survivors who are convinced they find lies in old british political parties. in feb twenty fifth in an unusual debate takes place in the british parliament.

which is the michael moore thank you mr speaker for over fifty years later my those have been campaigning for justice particularly from the german. and you factor really. know that over one hundred fifty m.p.'s of signed an open letter to the german chancellor would the prime minister add this to his busy agenda today so that we might get a decent and fair settlement for all concerned yeah i have on behalf of a constituent she raised this issue not only through the european parliament but also with german authorities and i'll certainly reflect what the old gentleman says . more than one hundred fifty british m.p.'s from all political parties have signed a letter to the german chancellor. unlike germany britain does have a tradition of rebellion when dealing with the little mind of the active ingredient i'm going to go to. the four hundred sixty six members of the little my trust not just fighting for compensation. they want those responsible for their disabilities

to be held to account nikto brick is one of them he thinks they have almost succeeded who have which ties and to whom and with his chart to explain the connections to german politicians as well as representatives in the european parliament if they hadn't ended the trial as they did in the early seventy's then the evidence would have been available to the victims to use in their future actions against grim's on others and in particular the u.k. survivors action in the seventy's would have undoubtedly have been ended in a much more favorable fashion two to the claimants as it was they didn't have the evidence they had to settle for a much bigger discount in the amount that they should have got than would have to bow to being the case it's evidence of being available they were got a proper settlement and that's what threw them out as they're often now. the british lawyer thinks evidence of that confidential meeting is crucial it took

place in july nine hundred sixty nine at the ministry of health and bone. senior management can come to guns manufacturer were invited to discuss the settlement of the counter gun case according to a note from them in. stream. and the goal of the meeting is to reach a legal agreement with the company as to how country victims can be compensated. when the parents association of the deformed children hints of the plans and hand asks to see details of the meeting the minister said is under no circumstances will the association receive any details. because our. document the. or. the one. signs all was if you know how kind of all are. doing for along with. the dish difficult half a century later in the summer of twenty fifteen

a meeting between british for the mind victims and representatives of the german government took place at germany's embassy and i think they heard the concerns we had they obviously refute the fact that they interfered in the criminal trial but they've never actually answered individually the documents that we put to them. the british m.p. simon hall was also present at the german embassy meeting. because really i think to hobbs the first half i thought was very positive so clearly the mood music coming out from officials on the on the german side of the table as it were it was very encouraging that they wanted to have a dialogue they wanted to see this brought to a conclusion we had to leave as we had to come back to the commons to vote and then the notes following that seem to suggest that they slightly dried up like clapton and it was very much we're not going to get involved with this this is the only meeting we're going to have to discuss this effectively that's the end of the news

i think if there was anything which came out of the meeting which we had at the embassy in july of last year is that there had been a long debate point as to whether the drug which had been taken by british mothers . had been manufactured in germany or had been manufactured under license in the u.k. and it is now very clear that the german officials taking time to the point that the thirty five trust in the u.k. has been making for many a long year that there was knows that i'm odd manufactured in the u.k. and that which was taken by british mothers or expectant about those have been very attractive to germany. this is knowledge facility might victims receive decades too late since the one nine hundred seventy s. people affected by so little might have only been able to file compensation applications with the german government anyone who does file an application must renounce all claims against the manufacture of. many european victims say they have

received little or no compensation at all. the federal ministry of family affairs declined to be interviewed. nor would it comment on the meeting with british counter gun victims at the german embassy in london. it stated only that the counter gun trust fund grants financial support when claims are grounded. christi and or tell also applied for support. yeah it's my new clown from college don't have one as an instance of one as good here all. boxed bet me are always going to tarboro on my no cornish madson in english so yeah it is good bye to how it's one of the no armor just. to get in off my macbook air as it could be a clear investment all the east does baskets bookish ones and if you shop at the office on the album you get this they're all. that he is but about how can we spend

a third of our lives in our beds our beds are important and for alfred to be turned down on that basis is utterly ridiculous and so it's abundantly clear to me that applying to the isn't going to be a solution for us at all and so therefore for us to be subjected to a ridiculous system bureaucratic system at this point in our lives it's not going to meet our needs all we need is money that we can use in the ways that we know that will suit us best. the formosa little manufacturer no longer considers claims from the victims of the drug to be that responsibility the. side when tired so clogged want to. in the course of a tiny unclogging go into an amish isn't hard to get you double tough no fun
