rather than not rather than in wales people are dying said corbin 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 came on 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 adequate and it's getting worse does she agree with professor hawking there was no answer for him to resume about one of britain's best known scientists he 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 lord elf 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 now 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 here on the green parliament twenty three russian diplomats being chucked out of the country in the next few days your reaction to tourism a statement. i can't see what. i mean what it will achieve used presumably twenty three british diplomats will be thrown out of russia some say more than maybe. but so the. choice everyone is saying in the house behind us because she has the evidence that the kremlin ordered an atrocity in england. i mean what i have no tuesdays these apparently the russian

also or she's a vos t. need with the investigation to be given some samples of the nerve agent and that's been refused now 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 so selves into this position. that that's the first question we should be also we have the evil putin regime is how we got it well as i was in we have some more who was exchanged came to live in britain he's living openly under his own not even a house in seoul he's apparently meeting british secret service agencies the first thing i ses 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 us a logs in the corridors of power there 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 dark but he only has to be done because reports on selves into the situation and what we now are 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. you saw apart

from the fact that anyone who tried to poison his obviously don't pretty competent because they failed obviously some ascribe the popularity of living here putin in russia to being someone who dragged in public to crackdown on the all agog who stole all the money from the russian people and you do presume he backed the measures being taken to freeze assets i'm not sure that 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 i'm 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 which so huge amount in london. and your understandings there isn't going to be any go operation whether it be

a magnitsky act or whatever in terms of repasts treating money that's been stolen from russia not through the magnitsky act he's actually cooperation that's not how many people would prefer certainly. but you know it just strikes me that we're getting ourselves into more more of a difficult corner and that we really have to have some dialogue and i know that i'm popular particularly in the you know parliament but in the end you have to talk . it's 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 law if you do support terrorism am there cancelling the visit of the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov to britain. counts he was he will be key but will it if you're mean. so you lavrov these are highly experienced polished

diplomat and actually a pretty good foreign minister i mean well it's written showing that he's not welcome here. ok so what we say you're not welcome to talk if frankly far as 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 both what's happened aside from the geopolitical context and the atrocity in saul's rio vs the you're 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 why 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 europe's energy coming from russia we seem to have got ourselves into a great big standoff position and it doesn't make sense i mean you notice 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 if you. nature some will predictably immediately see. they support resume the white

house what do you make of their reaction more contemporary today to busy sacking people where all right i mean even before the signing of the secretary of state but you didn't think that in washington they realized the relations with russia more important than immediate reactions. so difficult at the moment to call russian american relations you know the 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 at each other's throats and it's difficult to see the united states is being a very credible foreign policy player at 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 or 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 i think it's fundamentally wrong to baron or agent of the free press but of course the statutory regulator of 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 channel. is that we'll know a period of free speech that's what they say and i hope they just keep saying i'm not doing global thank you ok thank you very much after the break. for rex tillerson. i very much for that service. and i wish him well did

dole trump tweet the firing of his secretary of state rex tillerson because of russia and to raise a may we speak to award winning balls are in rolling stone john this might be and andrew p.s. the daily mail is consulted it's a writes off jeremy corbyn even though they just opinion polls show you the odds on favorite to be britain's next prime minister the list of all coming up about two of going underground. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all children 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 come out you have to go meet

the center of the beach but tell we are with you and we will show the great game the great game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the doll going let's go. a low as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one i was also appreciated needs to just say the review beyond the team's latest edition to make it up as we go so i need to just look at. the soon see the blue of them so moving. to good use who was before. much of those who heard the preview. who will. move. really. a.

little used to look beautiful the militants can look good. muslim also his girls with a good view of the good pools. the your dish also look look the same you know looky sure it's good to me you should go. the studs to. the two needed oh they were the little one wished they'd steal the good news it's. just trash can understand dish new nuggets the mashed old. destructive president and please clean trying to squash a constituent. of your petitions to avoid listening to slip of the little new yorker those the girls are with you or your supporters to your she looks lucian shouldn't feel you should

cook dorothy one was delayed because of. one else child's seemed wrong when all just all. the world yet to shape our disdain because the etiquette and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back well 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 win is 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 pearce consulting editor of the daily mail andrew 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 house of 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 experience as being and 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 patry arctic instead he was

peevish 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 at the expense of been literally and he's a great supporter of the state of russia and he elaborated us to why corbin 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 course 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

this is going 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 to flick off a switch and stop british homes being heated and then lit is that a 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 bill 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 it will be announced next week that britain as part of the brics it process can start negotiating trade to us that's a huge change by the european union it's a big win for trees amazing to go she just lance was going to beijing or together well we will be doing trade deals with china between traders with the united states i suspect we will be doing a trade deal with me putin any time soon but then trade with russia isn't huge in any case but the idea was it's supposed to grow well as a country it will it will grow with other countries and will russia no just not russia as well unless of course russia comes to its senses and stops assassinating or trying to assassinate p. . 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 moscow 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 loathes 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 to me peter will 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 it 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 know the affable 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 are even saying we should be shut down as well i completely disagree with the idea that. we're disinclination 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 parliaments 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 off come to my understanding have got no problems with the output and it would just be churlish. thank you and your p.s. thank you well it's been quite a week for u.k. u.s. relations mainstream u.s. 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 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 or a now is 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 these is the situation going on in one with the poisoning incident but just so serious as the situation in syria what 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 nuclear capabilities new states. and the little girl were full of and. russian said. i'm in 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 you know i can remember the reagan years during the when he was talking about the evil empire and then after the shooting down of 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 with the countries of operated toward each other forever we've always been interested in each other's affairs i think the differences now. but there is a political angle towards demonization of russia now inspiring some politicians in the west in england 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 and certainly politically to town a lot in america is 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 office on the f.c.c. . surprised 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 media. 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. 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 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. acacias regulator is a very very weak one in the united states which for most of us in 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 teats or register as

a foreign agent under star opens the door for an incredible. amount of abuse that could be directed at almost any kind of foreign news agency in the future and i think that's a. huge 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 and nine hundred eighty you 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 you you take more serious diplomatic measures that typing thank you. hope you enjoyed that epicenter going on the ground from our latest season we'll 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 ceases.

to try to construct all these little inflated i caught series shaun of the wall that is so really it's your own it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslim civilians that the koran is the word of god and that's the same time i remember all secular societies it is possible. zia's says harlan kentucky. over all of this move the

employees to the boardroom street fanny's. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the polis a said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that is anything ever happened to the phone lines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. franking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to

a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down for much they lost their jobs got laid off and the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal. i . i i. yes.
