three percent in england he wants to talk about meeting targets he should talk to and they have a government in wales school been would hear nothing of it any chance england abandoned its eye and he targets until april two thousand and nineteen it's a bit rich for the prime minister to be scamming about wales while she thought she something and didn't charge you anything but was it scaremongering he talks about scan on bring in wales i'm just pointing out the facts and i want to thank god. i know i am not right we do see why we do see people in wales often trying actually to get treatment in england rather than in not rather than in wales people the dying said kuhlmann people are dying because of overcrowding and long waits in our hospitals i think the prime minister should get a grip on it and ensure the n.h.s. now has the money that it needs to deal with the patient the mandans and then corbin referenced everyone's favorite scientist stephen hawking who died this week

we started with professor stephen hawking and he said just a few months ago there is. there is overwhelming evidence that any chance funding and the number of doctors and nurses are in on it quits and it's getting worse does she agree with professor hawking there was no answer from to resume about one of britain's best known scientists she had science on the mind though or revenge based on science one assumes britain would within hours veto the un resolution to investigate the atrocity in the south west of england well to take a better look at the russian threats narrative and how it may now affect the future of a post-breakfast britain i went to the green outside the palace of westminster to talk to a member of britain's house of lords international relations committee lloyd bell for well to take a better look at the russian threat narrative and how it will affect the future of a post directed britain i'm not joined by lord valve member of the international relations committee. at the house of lords and former member of the european

parliament. thanks for being on the green outside parliament twenty three russian diplomats being chucked out of the country in the next few days your reaction to terrorism is statement. i can't see what. i mean what it will achieve is presumably twenty three british diplomats will be thrown out of russia some say more than maybe. but so the asians have no choice everyone is saying in the house behind us because she has the evidence that the kremlin ordered an atrocity in england. well let's see i mean what i have no two stories these are apparently the russian also or she's of oste need with the investigation to be given some samples of the nerve agent and that's been refused there that doesn't seem to me like trying to solve the problem there in this was very clear that there was security considerations as to why she cannot reveal certain bugs the information

just as in the public inquiry regarding the atrocity in mayfair in central london against p.m.a. six by the. but how on earth that we got ourselves into this position. that's the first question we should be also we have the evil putin regime is how we got it. we have some more know who was exchanged came to live in britain he's living openly under he's not even a house and so we he's apparently meeting british secret service agencies the first thing i say he's had they not yet he briefed you know what he's going on there's all sorts of things that just don't add up but there has to be a consensus in the house of lords in the corridors of power there in the about this that the security services are telling the prime minister that. clearly something has to be done against the largest country on earth. something probably does have

to be done but he only has to be done because reports ourselves into the situation and what we now proposing to do is to reduce the opportunities for the two countries to work together and we seem to be forgetting that britain has a lot of business interests in russia. what would the reaction be here if there presumably would be some russian retaliation if they said well we'll have some sanctions against british business where do we end up with this we don't gamed up in a good place and also we don't yet know what the full facts of this case are apart from the fact that anyone who tried to poison is obviously don't pretty competent because they fail obviously some ascribe the popularity of that of your putin in russia to being someone who dragged in public to crack down on the oligarchs who stole all the money from the russian people and you do presumably back the measures being taken to freeze assets i'm not sure they're freezing the assets in london and

then giving it to the russian people do welcome those policies i think clearly the . seniors in particular would rate for russia and a lot of money went out of the country that belongs to the russian people and one can only support a government which attempts to turn that around i would be more impressed sorry if that had been laid to the british and russian governments cooperating about money of which so huge amounts are in london. concerned are saying there isn't going to be any go operation whether it be a magnitsky act or whatever in terms of repatch relating money that's been stolen from russia. to magnitsky act is actually cooperation that's not how many people would be for certainly. but you know it just strikes me that we're getting ourselves more into more. over

a difficult corner and that we really have to have some dialogue and i know that i'm popular particularly in the parliament but in the end you have to talk. to one of the lessons of international diplomacy in the end this problem will have to be unscrambled in the end we will have to talk and that is for the good of both countries so you're not a popular but you live you do support to resume him there cancelling the visit of the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov to britain. counts he was he will achieve but will it again mean. highly experienced polished diplomat and actually a pretty good foreign minister or e-mail it's written showing that he's not welcome here. ok so what we say you're not welcome to talk if frankly far is the prime minister i'd be saying i hope he will soon come because we need some very frank

dialogue about what he's going wrong in the relations between our two countries. and clearly if there was a poison attempt something has gone badly wrong and the russian state is one of the british state needs to get to the bottom of what's happened aside from the geopolitical context and the atrocity in saul's really of these the here on the house of lords international relations committee and you mentioned business how will worse relations with russia affect breaks in britain is difficult sorry to be quite honest we can only speculate at the moment but it's hardly going to make the russian government feel more co-operative towards helping british business experiment in russia and presumably the brits are going to do the same to the russians so it's not going to help. this great open trade agreement that we're searching for. and what why do you think. those considerations are not to the fore

. because some would say that there is a separation here given that russia trades obviously a great deal with the european union with so much of your percentage of coming from russia we seem to have got also into a great big stand off position and it doesn't make sense i mean you know to see it i mean germany and gazprom are cooperating quite well in energy supply to europe and i was tend to think that if you talk to people you're going to get further than a few. natures are more predictably immediately said they support resume the white house what do you make of their reaction more contemporary today to busy second people where i mean even before the signing of the secretary of state but he didn't care do you think that in washington they realize relations with russia are more important than immediate reactions. it so difficult at the moment to call russian

american relations you know the state department is in chaos frankly there are a huge number of vacancies there you've had the last year with the secretary of state and the president basically is each other's throats and it's difficult to see the united states is being a very credible foreign policy for the moment and there are many in the palace of westminster that we're expecting to resume to attack this station on t.v. surprised or about the fact that she didn't ban this channel in britain and the fact they shut it down very sensible of i mean i've never believed in shutting down the press i had a long long time dealing with turkey i'm sorry to the turkish authorities let them say what they want to say you know have a chance in the open because if you drive it underground you were killed it will still be there but that's. it's fundamentally wrong to. have the free press

but of course the. call has been clear that it is listening all the time to what is being said at the dispatch box as to whether they should review the license of the. free speech. keep doing thank you ok thank you very much. fort bragg soldier said. i very much. service and i wish him well. the firing of his secretary of state rex tillerson because of the rush to resume we speak to award winning gold for in rolling stone journalist. andrew p.s. the daily mail consultant writes off jeremy corbyn even though they just opinion polls show you the odds on favorite to be britain's prime minister all of them all

coming up to him going underground. this baby and. say this on march eighteenth vote with your remote. for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more. good and the bad capitalism to work both winners and losers you can't bail out every single bank that gets into trouble. and bellowed every single twenty cap was

the nice free money you got to let the system weed out the losers otherwise you end up with you know a state controlled state maintained price fixing regime by the state that resembles all failed such experiments in the past why not just let the free market be the free market. welcome back while the stakes could arguably never be higher and what some are already predicting could turn into a nuclear confrontation between britain and russia no wonder some might argue that labor leader jeremy called in a seeking to decrease tensions whilst applying stringent sanctions of those who have stolen money from the russian taxpayer but that's not the way some see it from the makers of the most visited english language newspaper website in the world joining me now is andrew prius consultant editor of the daily mail. welcome back what did you make of tourism is jeremy corbin's response to reason may is a very boring speaker she just doesn't often get the complete command of the

council commons chamber but i thought statement this week was magisterial by her standards she had the commons with her she is a former home secretary so she was able to draw on her experiences being in responsible for security and terror and the leader of the opposition was shameful it was an embarrassment because the leader of the opposition has a job in my view to be supportive in a time of national crisis to sound at least vaguely patriotic instead he was peevish turn ish and in failing to condemn the state of russia for what is perceived to be a russian act he showed himself to be according to some of his own side on the wrong side of the argument and it was made worse by the briefing after the statement by his press secretary seamus milner seamus miller's got for he's been to russia expensive. and he's a great supporter of the states. russia and he elaborated us to what i call been

refused to accept that russia is responsible and he peddled out that line used by the russian embassy that britain should actually give over a sample of the nerve agent so the russians can test it oh great idea what are they going to send back to the russian embassy and get some scientists to test test it and then they'll say go it's nothing to do with us you know ridiculous idea russians are saying there is under o.p.c. w treaty that they have to do that danielle days not twenty four hour deadline but let's just get back to the cold war yeah literally a cold war is a cold because in the next twenty four hours plus buds of britain already probably feeling it there's a cold snap russia's response could literally be difficult to switch and stop british homes being heated and and lit is that price worth paying the fact is we don't have enough gas it is running out and we buy some of our gas from russia it's been a matter of great concern in number ten not just under this government under the

previous government and putin could do that i suppose but of course russia needs our money too and they need to sell the gas to us because they need the cash to build bell from the first of this show is saying we need partners in a post rex it world i know the european union has come to help in this time of defacto war with russia presumably both brics that we're not going to have any great trade deals only with russia and its allies maybe even its brics allies in the in the rest of the world we will be announced next week that britain as part of the brics it process can start negotiating traders that's a huge change by the european union it's a big win for treason made me go she just once was going to beijing or together well we will be doing trade deals with china we'll be doing traitors with the united states i suspect we will be doing a trade deal without me putin anytime soon but then trade with russia isn't huge in any case but the idea was it's supposed to grow. well we as

a country it will grow with other countries and will russia know just not russia well unless of course russia comes to its senses and stops assassinating or trying to assassinate people on british soil loads of people aboard about international politics in this country and don't really care one way or the other of course they care about the tragedy of a british police officer and so forth is that way to resume could never have said that the england squad can't go to a mosque and i think it's not inconceivable that that made position may change so so far the prime minister has said no member the royal family will go prince william is president of the football association in this country a job i imagine he loads because we all know he can't stand for much happier on the pitch old chap but he won't be going no officials to be going so i'm sure that i mean to be devastated that the sports minister tracey crowd would be terrified by that is camilla are still bulls as well but there is talk of the possible that could be the end of two may not go and it would be it people say you can't involve

sport politics hang on. british prime ministers were heavily involved in trying to get the world cup to britain but russia won the bid with the help of mr blatter who of course is suspended from international football for corruption. and is hugely significant and i suspect there's a possibility even now that we may not go to the world cup because. it's going to be tarnished that would mean those in marine you're the actual manager who are just taking on to do commentary that might be a mistake what do you think about the fact that people like him are told not to appear on this channel and indeed m.p.'s from both sides of the house who are so keen to appear all of them some of them even saying we should be shut down as well i completely disagree with the idea that. we're disintegration network poorly and i was in for britain is a haven for free speech we're just a few hundred yards from the mother of all parliament and. if people don't like

russia today or they don't like its output don't watch it but do not close it down of come to my understanding i've got no problems with the output and it would just be turning frankly under pierce thank you well it's been quite a week for u.k. u.s. relations mainstream us commentators were quick to assume donald trump firing of his secretary of state rex tillerson via a tweet was connected to tillotson support for terrorism a and her war with russia hopes for the torrent would soon be dashed as trump's u.n. ambassador nikki haley echoed may's attacks on moscow and then washington reportedly introduced new sanctions even before any u.n. investigation of the chemical weapons atrocity in england joining me now from new jersey in the usa is award winning rolling stone journalist and author of insane clown president matt taibbi in math welcome back to the show i'm going to start actually with the fact that the russian federation has warned britain not to threaten a nuclear power how do you characterize relations from between britain and russia

regardless of america and russia i'm in. the nuclear doomsday clock because right now at an all time low or at it's i think it's the equivalent right now as a one nine hundred fifty two levels and hasn't been this low since one thousand fifty two this is an extremely perilous time in the relationships between the west and russia. i think there is a variety of factors that are that are going into the danger. one of the uses the situation going on in one with the poisoning incident just as serious as the situation in syria when we have. u.s. troops and russian you know contract mickie on the other side of the euphrates river. we have a lot of sort of bombastic talk by. leaders on all sides about the nuclear

capabilities the new states. and the little girl were full of and. russian sentiment you know particularly in the united states is is at a place at a place where i haven't seen it in my lifetime and i know i can remember the reagan years during the when he was talking about the evil empire and then after the shooting down of k seven so this is. the we're in an unprecedented place right now the british politicians in palm and with a few honorable exceptions some of them are saying we now need to launch a site of cyber attack on russian institutions and all manner of other levels of response and that russia is a rogue state so it will not respond to reason and i don't understand i mean i do understand look there are a lot of political. angles to this story. there are things

that are going on that have always gone on these two countries have always meddled in each other's the shares there of zero is there have always been. games back and forth between russia and england and russia in the united states you know there was an excellent book written by one of your countrymen the called the great game that details this activity dating back to the late seventy's hundreds early hundreds i lived in russia in one in the ninety's when the united states openly meddled. in boris yeltsin's reelection campaign there was a cover of time magazine after after yeltsin won reelection there were the it's a picture of yeltsin and the headline of the yanks to the rescue because we had advisors american advisors to reporting directly to bill clinton who were aiding.

yeltsin in that victory and this is just part of the way views. the countries are operated support each other forever we've always been interested in each other's affairs i think the difference is now that there's a political angle towards demonization. of russia. is inspiring some politicians in the sitting and in america to make up a public issue out of this in a way that they have they would now be floor that they wouldn't have have. sated. such a heated situation in the past over what essentially is a domestic political aim to scare people into you know being a certainly politically to town allotting america of course had to register as a foreign agent from this the nazi era act don't trump tweet a lot about mainstream media but he seems unable to ban it using your version of

calm the f.c.c. . surprise that in britain the prime minister can say things and they immediately the regulator will take steps or or talk about steps in closing down the television station one of the benefits of the american system. is we've we've gone quite a long time in our history without really having a strong official national. media regulator we do have the f.c.c. they did play an important role in the formation. of t.v. and radio stations with a couple of key laws in the late twenty's and early thirty's there was the communications act of thirty four. there the federal radio commission and actually twenty seven also had some things to say about what radio station should be but for

the most part. there is no regulator for print media and the communications regulator is a very very weak one in the united states which for most of us the press we've long considered to be a good thing that the government mostly stays out of our business. you know for it to take the step of forcing our to register as a foreign agent under star opens the door for an incredible. amount of the abuse that could be directed at almost any kind of foreign news agency in the future and i think that's in an age mistake. and i'm not thrilled with the decision to to retaliate against or to britain either i think this is similar to a decision that they made with the olympics american edu if you have

a political issue with a country you don't go out after sports you don't go after the media you you take more serious diplomatic measures that thank you and that's it for the show but i should add now that in last saturday's broadcast on the tenth of march mit professor theodore postal claimed the george mamiya called him an isis sympathizer after the brokers mr mamiya contacted us to deny the allegations made he said i've never said anything about personal being an isis sympathizer when i challenge personal claims people accuse me of being an isis sympathizer a paedophile being blackmailed by the government and a mossad agent well professor postol a sense contacted us he said george monbiot is correct that my quote summarizing one of his pa statements was not exactly correct the exact quote i had in mind is personal is without question guilty of white washing mass murder in syria mr mungo told us that he stands by these claims in a week that marks the eighth year of hostilities and a with the president bashar al assad now controlling most of the country that's in the show we're back home when

he was alleged. british woke up to no lemons alleging corruption of the british banking system till then keep in touch with social media with you on monday fifteen years of the day of the launch of u.k. u.s. operation iraqi liberation or. later changed to operation iraqi freedom which are still to go displace tens of millions. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you and you go all the great the grid you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go.
