as a structural problem with no i honestly don't think that because it's only a small percentage in fact and one of the advantages of allowing a little private practice is it kept them within the curtilage of the hospital where they were working so they did their private practice within the current reach of the n.h.s. hospital so they're wrong or they were on the premises but that's the important thing incidentally that they i was rather like that liam us now as a new youngster at the time but you know once he said in in the commons we're going to introduce prescription charges not to raise money because linda raised ten million and the total budget then was four hundred million can you believe it no he said it's to discourage people from using the n.h.s. excessively and unnecessarily so he hit the nail on the head that he shouldn't have put you on drugs should be put on going to see the doctor just chilling because if you pay for something you do value it more and i have plea realize that if you're

very poor fun or not if you're very poor don't have a shilling well that there are cause there are exceptions if if you were poor you didn't pay you got your drug three hundred million suggested n.h.s. that is well. who knows but it's interesting that prime minister at they did actually see the point even then but they're not of course when to learn to do it on for. global golf thank you pleasure after the break why of all the six hundred british soldiers still in afghanistan after this week's ice attack near kabul university we investigate alleged lies from nato governments with ex u.s. state department had to get official for the captain matthew hoh and tourism a says britain hasn't had it so good since when has he been privatised or harold wilson was in power. at this week's p m q's goal is

a ball coming up on two of going underground. 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. you guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the football here with you and we'll see all the all the great great if you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone and doesn't want to you know and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and ten world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the reno bianchi team's latest edition to make up

a bigger. look. at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killian and loneliness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so what more chance with. the base it's going to.

welcome back while media and british cabinet ministers all but declared war on russia and facebook this week the leader of western europe's largest socialist movement jeremy coleman was more interested in what the u.k. labor party sees as collective economic punishment for the crash of twenty year wait this conservative government has slashed public services they cut funding and expect councils to pick up the pieces the result of this is children centers are closing schools are struggling fewer preys on the streets older people being left without care or dignity and refuges turning will be the way the tories are only head of local government says it's unsustainable and doesn't tell you everything you need to know doesn't it tell you everything you need to know about this government that it demands households and businesses possible to get us the

minority government needed to raise a mail during a prime minister's questions appeared to ignore inflation in her arms this government is spending more on our schools and our n.h.s. than. we're able to see that because of the balance approach we take to our economy because of the strong economy we see under the conservatives and i notice that the right honorable gentleman in the six questions does not mention today's unemployment figures. employment is ensuring to record high unemployment hasn't been lower since nineteen seventy five interesting she brought up nine hundred seventy five when britain was led by a labor government run by harold wilson and i'd like to raise a mayor when it came to government expenditure will soon wasn't as interested in expenditure on us was that arguably end in failure. and i don't know if. we have no plans for expenditure in vietnam. please harold wilson was inversely

not convinced by the u.s. war in vietnam which killed around four million civilians strays or may though is convinced their british expenditure in blood and treasure should still be deployed in afghanistan let alone syria and let alone income from the war on yemen in a week with at least one hundred were killed or wounded in the afghan capital of kabul all the publics of nato nations still being lied to about how winnable the war there is in the fiftieth anniversary week of the british labor governments bombing of iraq i'm joined by matthew hoh a u.s. state department and pentagon official who was part of the iraqi occupation and who resigned over afghanistan matthew welcome to going underground you resigned your position for the pentagon for allegedly lying by the hillary clinton state department your allies of the drone no i think it's just about the same the deal with you got trump now. different than obama but the thing that has remained the same or the same career minded people at the state department at cia at the

pentagon who are dedicated to their own careers and dedicated to the empire basically but is drawn buggy really listening less to there's a line we don't know whether we can take michael wolff seriously in his book on drugs there's a scene in it where he where trump tells off. all the generals in the situation room about this suggestions as to what to do with afghanistan this year does that ring true is donald trump saying we need to make money like the chinese out of afghanistan we should be in regime building or training or whatever it is if you're someone like donald trump who you know always say about him he is an intelligent person he has accomplished a lot look he beat seventeen people in the republican primaries he built be hillary clinton he does have a brain in his head as i mean we shouldn't underestimate him and if you're explained for the first time what's happening in afghanistan any reasonable sensible person is going to say this is insane get out so i do think that was

common rings true however what we've seen in afghanistan is an escalation of the air war is the escalation of commando strikes look american special operations conducted in six months two thousand raids on afghan homes and villages just in six months american commandos did that so there has been an uptick a big uptick in the american war in afghanistan now trump sensibly may have said i'm not sending more ground soldiers there but that fits in with the rest of the american war plan throughout the greater middle east through the muslim world we're going to use proxy armies we're going to use american air power train transition to like allied air power like the saudis saying am in firepower like artillery and mortars like we saw use say in mosul or rocca and we're going to use commandos like the iraqis did or the afghans are now dead then backed up by american commandos or british commandos and that's the way of war that's the way of maintaining these borderlands in the empire this perpetual war that so many of the generals including

mattis who is sector defense are kelly who is the white house chief of staff believe is necessary to again maintain the empire i think the british ministry of defense calls him because of this rather than soldiers but britain is in. deed on the ground some type of british shooting will boot is on the ground. about all of that what is the actual aim of all of this look if you look at what's a general mattis or general kelly. talked about if you go back and look at their speeches they view america the u.k. the west as the apex of civilization they view themselves as modern day legionnaires who are protecting the republic who are defending the empire and what they need to do is necessary in terms of warfare being a constant state of humanity and that these forces are just there to maintain the base level of order they've called in the special operations community

or the cia for years now they've called it mo in the grass not the idea that you have to do maintenance that you have to continually do these strikes on these lawless areas on the areas that you can't subjugate or bring on or control and this is what the greatest difference is between the trump war plan and say obama or bush's war plan is there is no outcome to it i mean say what you will about bush and obama war plans they were criminal they were immoral they were her not going to work. but they had political objectives they tried to have elections they try to do economic development they tried to have negotiations or bring in parts of the populations to be inclusive in the government under the trump war plan which again is really a madison kelly mcmaster war plan there is none of that so you actually thought that they the brad pitt film i think it's available now which as we have another. i mean that's realistic that's the kind of madness you're describing it's hard to

come up with a better word than madness. is just absolutely look at the military you're trained to take the hill and then you take the next two a you just keep going on there's no end state for it and that's what you see you have these career. minded generals who believe that they're more capable or better than the preceding general that's why we've had how many seventeen different eighteen different commanding generals all of which in afghanistan say the same kind of thing just give me some more troops and some more time and we'll win because one undeniable of success or failure of afghanistan has been the massive increase in heroin deaths in britain in glasgow we have a death rate of i think one thousand three hundred fifteen percent higher than the european union norm what does it feel like for you and we can only imagine the death rates of due to heroin in the us it is here is you know in the united states we've had a three or four fold increase over all throughout the whole country in use in

deaths we've it's epidemic it's it is a national health crisis the united states opioid epidemics it is horrific what is occurring it has occurred and yeah i don't think you can see it in d.c. i would need to see you see if you see it throughout the country it's it's getting a lot of attention because it affects the white communities when the when the crack cocaine epidemic occurred in affected the black or african-american community didn't have this kind of attention you see the to solve the problems that drive so many issues but regarding the opioid issue yes no quinson it's that we're having this opioid crisis and the opioid production the poppy production that produces these opioids heroine's or heroin or whatever has increased exponentially i mean each year there are record crops in afghanistan since the west invaded since we put this afghan government in power which is composed of the drug lords and what

we have done for years in afghanistan is being in bed with the drug lords help the those who are in the afghan government those who are in the afghan military stomp out their competition root out their competition in that's why when you were there when i was there absolutely. it happened it was happening certainly we saw it we we rewarded afghan governors who were whose families had poppy fields of their own and then use the afghan police and the afghan military why do you do you work there at the yeah i mean like you saw you saw us occurring it was it was it was one of the reasons i resigned i mean because you're taking part you are taking part in the formal established drug trade the united states government denies it's complicit in the drugs trade it wasn't as if the americans were loading up poppies or roping or heroin into our aircraft or was it like our soldiers are out there playing the

crops and harvesting merry thing else but we were complicit with the people who were benefiting the most from the afghan drug trade sale akaka wali karzai who was present harman karzai is half brother who was the biggest drug lord in southern afghanistan until he was murdered i mean these are the men that were benefiting from our occupation but i'm sorry as it was a while before i'm sure his brother would deny it is brothers being on this show former president karzai made it even more worrying even more worrying accusations about u.s. policy on this program he said he saw in july that there were helicopters u.s. military helicopters being used by islamists in afghanistan would that ring true i don't believe that america that we americans would be so stupid as to actively use our helicopter say to ferry islamic state fighters however the fact that we did things to try a man is to try and pick winners and losers to try and be smart and certainly know

in syria that whereas american money may not have been gone directly to hide as nusra front or to the islamic state in syria certainly saudi turkey is qatari money was going we are aware of this we have good faith because you know i say we deny it but we have we have reports from. the defense intelligence agency the american defense intelligence agency that warn of this that warned of the backing of these islamist groups these backing of these extremist groups in syria we were managing and funneling money to in logistics and supporting the islamic state in al qaida in syria and we believe that the imaginary line that existed that boundary between syria and iraq would keep them out of iraq so in syria we're trying to use the islamic state to overthrow bashar assad but across the border across the sand boundary we are believing we can keep them under control and in check and not have them threaten the government and baghdad i mean it just boggles the mind that we

have people in power who would be so stupid as to think and i keep going back to this word and i apologize i can't be i'm trying to be a little more articulate but stupid is the only thing that keeps coming back to me because this is what happened and then of course in two thousand and fourteen the islamic state takes mosul and now we've seen the complete destruction of sunni cities throughout the tigris and euphrates river valleys in iraq and this is a consequence of course of the american invasion and occupation which the u.k. of course was completely complicit in and took part in but not just that but but also to it's all because we have people in power people and they are telling us operative says in the u.s. and also here in the u.k. who believe that they are smarter than their predecessors and certainly smarter than the people in the middle east and that they can manage in co-opting coerces people. thank you back to the show but we'll be back on monday when we speak to unicef about how british are being trading in targeting has affected the poorest

country in the middle east for years to the day that the saudi balding in yemen began to let people just by social media will see on monday the birthday of a streetcar named desire a tennessee williams who protested the u.s. state department and he called me this witch hunt against fellow playwright and husband of our love and wrote off a bit of. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turned. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry funny i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one difference i speak to now because there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. the far right than britain isn't just on the march it's taken violent my daughter's action

i don't quite name it claiming that you know you know i see these organizations which are all usually split into which we feel different names i'll give you that looks. bad in. a complex web of richard basher. i. i.

think. if you. like to the police when exposed to a nerve agent in the scriptural poisoning incident commander. calling for cooperation with britain and examining the case. you can read the offices of the political consulting. major data breach which has landed facebook in hot water. and the police. following friday's terror attack in the south of france bringing the number of fatalities. is being held as a national hero for swapping places with one of the supermarket hostages.

even just turned eleven pm this saturday night or a moscow my name is kevin how in first in this thirty minute live news update russia's ambassador to the u.k. has written to the policeman who was exposed to a nerve agent in the english city of seoul spring following the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter with more details. the letter to detective sergeant nick bailey thanking him for his actions following the poisoning it extended moscow's best wishes and voiced hope the officer will make a full recovery and be able to return to a normal life as soon as possible it went on to express sincere gratitude for his bravery and an assurance that russia had nothing to do with this reckless incident the investigation is ongoing and the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons continues to investigate we've also heard from the head of the secret ministry of defense lab important down you know we've got the highest levels of controls of security. around the work that

we do here we would not be a loto operate if we had lack of control that could result in anything leaving the four walls of our facility here the russian embassy has reacted to his comments saying that they amount to admission that the secret facility is a place where new components of military grade poisons are being researched and developed and that most notably mr ater the head did not deny the existence of chemical weapons stocks referring to the disputed possible sources of the nerve agent in question moscow has openly condemned the attempted murders as an act of terrorism and denied any involvement despite that though it seems the relations between the two countries are continuing to deteriorate and the situation doesn't look likely to get better anytime soon british pm to raise in may has rallied to a european counterparts calling for a united front against russia strike that russia poses respects no borders this is

about a standard to get a hold of against the russians we want to cool to meet our reactions which we will now to detail once the coordination is ready but we're both germany and france agree that those reactions will be necessary in addition to the recalling of the ambassador. it's an act of aggression against the security in the sovereignty of an allied country which is still a member of the european union at present a man calls for a reaction the russian ambassador to the has now been summoned and told a decision will apparently be made on monday with regards to what actions will be taken against moscow if any we have different positions different. interests. about different traditions. political landscape in europe to russia and this is why it's not so easy to keep. the group.

together from moscow standpoint several attempts have been made to work together with the british authorities firstly following the incident that russia says it's tried a number of times to ask for a joint investigation secondly moscow says that it's requested a sample of the nerve agent again so that it can assist the ukase investigation and russia has now also set up its own inquiry but how this will pan out is still unclear is no investigation can be completed without crucial information from u.k. authorities so what next for those of us watching this saga unfold all we do know is that this investigation into the perpetrators and sort of the nerve agent is going to take some time and in the meantime we can only watch to see who makes the next move. another story from the u.k. max position best to get his have raided the premises of the political consulting firm cambridge at a little over a major data breach scandal the company's known for having worked with donald

trump's election team in twenty sixteen and is under investigation for allegedly mining the data of some fifty million social media accounts the scandals also put pressure on facebook with u.s. lawmakers calling for c.e.o. mark zuckerberg to testify before congress meantime over in germany facebook representatives have already been summoned to face questions over the data breach. for a long time we've had the impression that unless you apply a lot of pressure nothing happens within facebook and obviously they try to run the business with a minimum of resources and any issues raised over social responsibility and not welcomed with a lot of enthusiasm or at least that's the impression i get. the fallout already hurting facebook billionaire tech entrepreneur elon musk deleted his personal page those for a space x. and tesla car ventures wiki leaks editor julian assange has chipped in to ease lashed out at the social network on twitter others are rushing to do the same with the harsh tag delete facebook trending in the race edition of artes online series
