the hospital where they were working so they did their private practice within the current job in h.s. hospital so they were wrong or they were on the premises but that's the important thing incidentally that they i was rather like that there must now is 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 but he shouldn't have put it on drugs should be put on going to see the doctor just the shelling because if you pay for something you do value it more and i have clearly realise that if you have very poor fun or not if you're very poor don't have a shilling well in that miracles there are exceptions if if if you were poor you

didn't pay but you got your drugs free from billions it has an n.h.s. that is well. who knows but it's interesting that prime minister at they didn't actually see the point even then but they're not of course when to learn to do it on forge. 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 without even at the prime minister harold wilson was in power at this week's pm puce goal is the more coming up part two of going up to grab.

the far right to in britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action i don't quite get. the dog and i see those organizations which will usually split into it which would be for a different names how do you view that look. at. a complex web of which are fashionable. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go on to be for us this is what will befall us tree in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about how. this

should. 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 refugees turning will be the way the tories only hear

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 business in the minority government needed to raise a male 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 on the gentleman in the six questions does not mention today's unemployment for. employment as ensuring to record high unemployment hasn't been 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. us wars that arguably added failure. we have no plans for expenditures. for the. harold wilson was inversely not convinced by the us war in vietnam which killed around four million civilians strays or me 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 in 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 with the pentagon over alleged lying by the hillary clinton state

department and your allies on the drone no i think it's just about the same the deal with you've got trumped 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 and 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 shouldn't 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 if 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 wolf comment 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 rocka 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 them 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 you talked about all of that what is the actual a move 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 they idea that you have to do maintenance that you have to continually do these strikes on these wallace 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 the bush and obama war plans they were criminal they were immoral they were hurried not going to work. but they had political objectives they tried to have elections they tried 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 if you actually thought that they the brad pitt film i think it's available now which has 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 hill and 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 it was 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 one thousand three hundred fifteen percent higher than the european union norm what does it feel like for you if we could only imagine the death rates of do the heroin in the us in this year is you know in the united states we've had a three or four fold increase overall for the whole country in use and 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 that has occurred and yet i don't think you can see it in d.c. i live in new jersey 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 code when the crack cocaine epidemic occurred in affected the black or the 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 heroines are going to 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 were

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 in her hair when into our aircraft or was it like our soldiers are out there playing the crops in a 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 president 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 while i was part of it because they were well before i'm sure his brother would deny it is brothers being on this show former president karzai made it even more worrying people even more worrying accusations about u.s. policy on this program he said he saw in jalalabad 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 or certainly saudi turkey is qatari money was going we are aware of this we have had states with the united states as we did not but we have we have reports from. defense intelligence agency the american defense intelligence agency that warned 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 coerce these people. thank you back to the show but we'll be back on monday when we speak to unicef about how british shopping trading in targeting has affected the poorest country in the middle east for years to the day of the saudi ball that if you haven't began to let you know 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 little growth off a bit of. well you know they are they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates of the so long. i mean they're in the small boats next to the harpoon ships and it's.

not. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and he won't become the current. qantas fifteen scoops seventy five tons to do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we cannot stay used to just. be within this the field going to zero. i'm doing this because i want the for the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions

in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but all the at the price of being destroyed itself. couldn't said well these weapons were over called new u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces. times about email but on the attack you might even want to get it. but let it get out on. and i mean i my mom come on here i know god know if you walk through. millions of them will change your attacking will you make believe you just have imaging machines or if you want. to. know a little bit of an actual again i don't see

a good deal i'd say to any. patient is to leave them feeling hopeful and i think capable you know changes allow her. to make other showed it to the busy. putting. such. it was easy to cut.

the russian ambassador to the u.k. rights to the policeman exposed to a nerve agent in the screwball poisoning incident commending of the officers bravery in calling for cooperation with the. investigators of raid the offices of the political consulting firm cambridge analytic over a major data breach involving millions of facebook accounts. and the. police officer dies of his injuries following friday's terrorist attack in the south of france is being held they.

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 eight at 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 relations between the two countries are continuing to deteriorate and the situation doesn't look likely to get better any time soon british pm to resume has rallied to a european counterparts calling for a united front against russia to strike russia poses respects no borders this is about standing together to hold of use against russian streams we want to cool did

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 who 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 it's also about different traditions. political landscape in europe to russia and this is why it's not so easy. to keep. a 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. oh 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. british investigators have raided the london offices of the political consulting firm cambridge analytic over a massive data mining scandal the company is known for having worked with donald
