blissful going over days going underground but first while the great and the good of neoliberalism like counted as justin trudeau and france's emmanuel macro as well as arch critics like u.k. shadow chancellor john mcdonnell prepared to attend the world economic forum in switzerland britain's entire nuclear program today is judge ruled to be in trouble because of strike action while firefighters strike at sellafield site of the worst ever nuclear incident in british history is important is clear just how many people could be killed by an uncontrolled fire and what's at stake at sellafield on the irish sea in the northwest of england so are those big enough to hold six double decker buses filled to the brim with some of the most dangerous radioactive waste in the world and there's a lot of it there are twenty two silos like this in the sense why building housing and to home runs move radioactivity released by the chernobyl disaster it took fifty years before the state mandated b.b.c.

could reveal the truth about how successive british governments covered up the circumstances surrounding a fired windscale as sellafield was called before its p.r. name change the fire in one hundred fifty seven could according to the b.b.c. have irrevocably altered the u.k. u.s. special relationship let alone killed a lot of people. prime minister harold macmillan met president eisenhower to sign an agreement that would change britain's relationship with america forever. just days before a fire had broken out at windscale the country's fast be clear reactor. britain was on the brink of an unprecedented disaster but can drive as it continues today about sellafield as well as an ongoing terrorism threat this was in just the past few months army bomb disposal experts are being called to sellafield to detonate potentially flammable chemicals discovered at britain's largest nuclear

site well it's outside the mark the birth of britain's weapons of mass destruction program now located on the river clyde in scotland britain is of course exporting weapons or around the world some believe the brics it may lead to a spiraling of u.k. weapons dealing so we caught up with a member of britain's arms export control panel outside parliament story in people in letham is also on the u.k. international development select committee thanks so much regularly on going underground after a long year in the green outside parliament so what do you say to people who are warning the british public that post bricks it is dealing is going to twenty eight percent two point nine billion pounds whether licenses agreed to june twenty sixth any connections you are having to do deals with with ever oppressive or talk or is is because we need the deals because we're leaving europe no there's nothing to say we have to do a deal we give licenses to allow companies to export and they're very stringent be regulated so there's no reason at all why this is anything to do with.

referendum or any it's nothing to do with that it is about people wanting to sell arms and then it's about the licenses that we agree but of course i mean european want to raise amazes repeatedly in parliament when. question about licensing to saudi arabia currently involved in one of the worst humanitarian crises. well yes after i was a strict regime if we're training pilots to be because what we do is we see what they are wanting and then we issue the license and we look very carefully about what they're going to be useful so although you say it's a very repressive regime it is changing you know if you don't think saudi arabia is a repressive regime it has been i think it's changing because they are now allowing women to draw if they are changing the role of women in society they want women to

get elected into parliament it is moving forward to a democratic society which it never has been so it has been repressive and three but i think there are. people in public squares amputates people's lives but you cannot change. we will help change saudi arabia no i don't think that will make any difference to saudi arabians have to change saudi arabia we can't change it we can't interfere in the democratic changes which are coming as it wasn't only arms acts will come if you. don't think that we are enabling saudi violence in the middle east you know. i've only been to one meeting so far and that was to elect the chairman so i haven't exactly very safe certainly not all my fault because i only joined just before christmas when we had a vote to elect the chairman so we have yet. there was

a meeting this week or last week which i was unable to attend but the next few meetings will be quite critical and we will be looking at our policies in the country as to what we're going to do so then we can look quite seriously about who is getting what and why you see the pictures from. i mean you had andrew mitchell former vice chair of the visit. we had unicef on talking about tens of millions of people yes now threatened british bombs being dropped is a british planes being warplanes dropping the bombs and these are british trained pilots ordering the bombs that are blowing up and killing or wounding thousands of civilians there are many i mean many thousands of people who've been killed and that's completely wrong but you have to look at the morning to picture of forces going on out there and i didn't think. they would want able to drop in which case

what you're saying the logical conclusion of that is let's stop all arms trading and let's not have weapons of any so anywhere in the world will know what i'm talking about. the logical conclusion of that is we shouldn't be selling any arms to anybody and we shouldn't even be having arms ourselves conclusion of what you're saying but it seems that a huge proportion and the biggest deals are with saudi arabia. well they may be the biggest deals they're not with the united states in a special relationship they are with or talkers well undemocratic countries of course the united states has its own arms manufacturers so we don't need to sell to them but where we have the traditional relationship we have been selling arms to all sorts of different countries and saudi arabia is one of them only worth around point two seven percent of our g.d.p. anyway selling killing machines democratic only launches a population that touches a large chunk really if we take that out completely there will be many many people

unemployed to be an awful lot of people with no job. claiming benefits can justify the killing. of children and i'm not trying i'm not justifying what i'm saying is that what. we need to do is look very carefully before we allow any licenses now been involved with that. yet but we will be so you are going to be and i will be and then i will scrutinize the decision making and i will make my views no if i feel that it's wrong i will say said but what if you are threatened by these countries because tony blair from asli said security cooperation was threatened saudi arabia was basically saying if you don't sell us these killing machines we won't warn you if you have got terrorists that's a very long time ago tony blair's not been there for many many years and regimes are changing and even saudi arabia is changing to become more democratic but it is

bombing him it is bombing him and at the moment but we have to look at everything in the round and i haven't and nobody on the committee. because we've only just been reformed after the election last year it's taken a long time to do it so we will be looking very seriously at the decisions to be made what about the fact that if a country can't afford the weapons were selling the taxpayers to subsidize so there's up to fifty percent loans to that country said that they can buy oh well we do we give loans to all sorts of things and only international development we give loans and we get so i don't think the problem should be subsidizing much needed infrastructure or whatever in britain as it is subsidizing foreign countries while we're up we've got the biggest infrastructure in terms of roads and rail program going on that's ever been so we're not doing that we are spending millions and millions and millions on

a road infrastructure and it's continuing more than we've ever had before and rail infrastructure is going through the roof another crisis far from yemen is of course me and has been lots of even mainstream media coverage of the crisis how do you. see the importance of it i think it's very important i think it's absolutely devastating to see so many people having to flee their country and particularly where the men are being slaughtered and the women are being raped on route and i think that is where i. just don't understand why people can be so awful to people other people that have lived in their country for say when the generations and they're having to flee that country to go to bangladesh and live in pretty squalid conditions i mean that's inhuman and of course britain supported the me and mom military regime against before she was given this new.

position yes she could have in my view she should have spoken out against it if it means she loses her job i think she should have done but i went to me about five five six years ago i met her and she was already. determined wranglers were not part of the area they were nothing to do with that they were not. people they couldn't have the status of being they would be stateless and she had no problem with that and i said all along is going to be a major problem she has got a mindset that will not change and we're going again as a committee to miramar and then we're going to bangladesh as well to go and see the real situation and how britain is helping and helping a huge amount bangladesh could not cope with the number of refugees they have

without britain's assistance and they're very grateful for it given you have these twin roles that on the international development committee and the objects will committee what about the allegations that britain is involved in. co. production deals as it were with israel because israel is allegedly. selling to about you let you know we don't know. when you're going to be looking into british involvement in the because britain famously supported the military junta before arguably and we have been warned chinese all but we did but i think that again most of these things we do look again freshly every time some new committee formed we will look at these things and come up with a conclusion because things change it's not always the same the whole of the time it's not the same now as it was cheney instigator so we have to look at things and i'll say oh now i'm revising the way the situation. thank you coming up after the

break the father of this sixteen year old girl tells us why he thinks a camera saved his daughter's life at the hands of british backed israeli soldiers and the grandson of a signatory to israel's independence on why britain and the united states continue to support israel which he accuses of colonialism oppression in the killing of innocent civilians all of them all going overboard to him going into. how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being

a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we just do it on my radio visitation and i don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to sergeant anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to. know and they don't give a damn if you do the chores on my. and there are actually painters to put a mark in. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sam bridge what she is behind such success. it's the cradle of jazz. we have. this jazz feel. of climatic. alligators on the loose. and crime by the. close. of street racing. the night.

this is. the best place to. welcome back on the fifteenth of december you came back to israeli forces allegedly shot fifteen year old mama tell me at point blank range in the head with a rubber bullet this video of his sixteen year old cousin had al-timimi film later that day is now viral on the internet. following a raid on her home by israeli forces ahead her mother and her cousin are all now in prison she could serve a seven year sentence after i.d.f.

soldiers then confiscated the phone and computer of a father the grandson of a signatory to israel's independence me capello said has brought a mobile phone for him to use when i joined by bus and al-timimi from ramallah in palestine by sam thanks for joining us tell me about what is happening with your daughter and your wife. see i had when she. was. in my and i had this image of this sort of uniform. and. mind here but with the suit. and it would have ranted and with because in most of the two thousand and eleven i was free in. the foot six months. here. and here and she can go to i missed my two three times and she.

should tear in here and a group. here to put out this. twenty minute for the syrian soldier should i mean that it is serious and become and. yet he didn't do many people say that's not a provocation of a many as israel of course say it is she the provoke the soldiers as the video showed i don't think it is. more a group of kids and. they. go out to lend that they kill people. and genocide and if you didn't clean sixty nine and forty what do we should it's no matter the action against the book will be issued is to resist even if what you say is true

the israeli military judge said that basically our head can be in prison for months the israeli military judge ok that. she must be in there and it is that. this is as old now. i don't think his life has any ideas this big building needle is right in the middle. is up and they have the bow of not like to see the little duck machine and know any brand new guinea anything. like. they enjoy it well enough good to see. i don't mistake what is it good that they don't get who was there was talking wasn't a machine a little do what the lads institution say didn't get it. they can they're going to see the look in simeon booker didn't draw this the jive because i think your sister

died of course in the military. you were in prison for three years what about your worries for i had now i understand she was in isolation i i'm up my use my soul and my wind my duty is in the hands of my movies. i'm abroad as i have this strong. who can face it in the indian given to defend him moment to get over this making we need. to be about this since it was these strong but also she is a child in the hands of this war the any good at least in the me i need to meet. constituencies those if they don't like to see they continuing. then shouldn't. others think of my mum

mind and my wife and all the other thing that that is not just i have been the president that up to these three hundred fifty jobs is there's a reason for that we must do and we need to acknowledge and we in the coalition we wouldn't continue up. this stance because we haven't city police commissioner just continually. we need to be strong we need just like you know we have a lot of tree down. in the. sea while pro palestinian activists around the world may say you are being psychologically tortured along with your family by the de facto british backed israeli government zionists claim you are basically making propaganda videos the video of your daughter was deliberately trying to provoke israel and your daughter has been called shirley temple and this is the name pallywood in a in

a reference i suppose to be the opposite of all here with only one since it is sold just to come on but this is in our. body what if they are not there told the kids they can see it's just that one dick were there but he shot . in the movie. this is me this is. the deaf ear didn't know what hold the saw didn't come in clubhouse. board at the time we had it coming up it was going on i spotted. the saw the lord of the study at the. table but not there me and be able who are with him like she had. told him i need to make a plan was put everyone in there will now if if i do that if you have not had if there had been no camera there what do you think would have happened i think she

looked. like they. did minutes and hit it. and if the family when. they can set it was that it was a committee i did she was. really what. this is what the. bottom all to me thank you while the spike in violence in the occupied territories doesn't look set to come down on the us president donald trump wants to slash u.s. aid to un relief programs in palestine i'm joined now by the grandson of a signatory to israel's independence the israeli special forces veteran me cope have led me go thanks very joining us back on going underground we just heard from bottom up tell me why do you support him and what do you think of how emblematic historias story is the story of palestine should it something that the rest of the

world. is afraid to do which is stand up to israel and. israel she says so we've got an issue here where palestinian a palestinian. or a woman dared to stand up to a man and a young woman at that. and this is hurting everybody you know if they had shot her then i don't think they would have had this conversation or actually maybe we would but the main rest of the world probably would not have paid any attention to this because it's. being killed because she did stand up. the whole world including particularly in israel. the with the ground. shook everybody's in in this in this. shop that this. lady this young girl to do this thing and say that the camera saved a life i think that's a very likely that would've been a very likely scenario. and the fact that you know i think it's

a point to pay attention to the details. we have a young lady whose home was invaded by armed gang i mean they go uniforms in the army. invade her privacy invaded her house and she not only pushed them to kick them out of the house and out of her backyard but also slapped the soldier on top of that i think every father who has a daughter and i have a daughter you younger than her. would hope that his daughter having faced the situation like that would be able to do it she did and i think all fathers should be standing out in support of her g.'s and. it should reality that. absolutely the fact that the camera was there i think is really important gangs ago as britain and the united states support those i.d.f. soldiers. that it states also have been involved.

colonialism and oppression and the killing of innocent civilians for you know even before israel started doing it so obviously they have shared values and mentioned. over the last several years. hundreds of times countless relatives were killed and . of course none of this is ever ever. somebody stood up to be ladies and the world turns turned upside down. it's the united states paying the relief of palestinians we pay the palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars and get no appreciation or respect which is why he is now suggesting the cutting of us to these un programs for refugees in palestine. they don't pay for the refugees are. very happy to go back to the only reason they're not going back because. i think he wants to stop.

that part of the solution second part of the solution which must be. part of the solution is to allow them to return force israel to open its borders and allow the indigenous people people who still have the keys to their. return to their homes and then can you read billion dollars or four billion dollars a year that it receives from the united states to bring them in or help them and. help them to establish themselves back in their in their homes so it's not a two part equation. where the un relief and works agency has been saying that this is the worst crisis of a severe crisis in seventy years and could threaten the entire middle east. i think he's right there about trump donald trump. there's no question that the arse they're hurting the most the most vulnerable populations they're hurting the most vulnerable the poorest of the poor and they're not touring. to be poor they're poor

because they're forced to do a few. by having being kicked out of their homes to begin by israel and they don't want to stay there are quite happy to go back to these don't need. because they were kicked out of their home but just finally and briefly why do you think most mainstream media here in britain or in the nato nations is not interested in what you just had to say about the conflict and and certainly hasn't really been covering the story of i have al-timimi who is of course now well i think i demonstrate exactly that i mean i should not have had to push those soldiers out of our home and slap a soldier we should have been there the entire internet to me she'd been a protector to protect her cousins to protect the family and to protect millions of palestinian children who have to put up with this kind of violence every single day now the fact that this is not being shown and just not being reported on mainstream media because exactly that the arc of israel will not stand up to the real forces

young palestinians like or that to do this themselves it's a crime over a crime the first crime is that they were not there to begin with to prevent this from happening. and the second thing is there will only be reporting to show just how. and the lack of courage by the media and the rest of the world to stand up and protect the palestinian children from israeli aggression israeli terror. thank you . hope you enjoyed that episode of going underground for my latest season will be back on the eleventh of april for a brand new season of going underground but you can still keep in touch with us while we're away on facebook twitter and instagram so use of. time about email we'll tell you about a needle my dad. and i mean

i'm here i'm. making a move to ensure that you can e-mail those you dislike him and you can say sir if you want. to. know whom i love and actually get at the me i still seem to be like the city that he. thinks is fulfilling hopefuls will come full. circle useful tool for allowing. the most expensive fish in the world each one selling for the tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way to

good catch. it's only remnants of a much larger mission was once there and that was much more why me to. the we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared toward long term survival and that's why we have because. there are some was so much at all of them mama. i don't mind little bit of that oh . yeah we do a little frisky. i'm not critical of what the chilcote you know. sort of. what

i mean and you come in with that he's going to get stuff for us to do with not still the question as to yes but oh yes the chest but i saw with. everyone that. of the. seventeen people killed in over a thousand then you did this right and so which is why bullets and use drones and take gas and keys and palestinian demonstrators of inciting violence in the gaza border. american diplomatic stuff and leaving the u.s. consulate in some pages but go ahead of its official closure on.
