he's a big gets question on our policy on the race of the poor at pm here's bill the ball coming up about to i'm going underground. to. keep out of most definitely wasn't a victim. of any kind of that race you know what it's like from the russian side because that with both really destroy the russian kind of beauty as far as exchanges that are concerned and they are dependent on it because they certainly have to get their people banking to they get into trouble. forman are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not

shoot around a corner. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but none of us signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a be a broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting and decades a lot of those soldiers. will die in time and they will have to pay. for. it the

fear of using. delayed and hoping to. welcome back i made calls for the british prime minister's resignation who exactly was to blame for the deliberate destruction of landing cards of british people so as to allegedly deport them to the developing world tourism a blame the blairites de facto now attacking jeremy corbyn over anti semitism the decision to destroy the minds and hearts was taken in two thousand and nine and as i seem to recall in two thousand and nine it was a neighborhood secretary who was a. clarification from number ten would later have to be issued for that and jeremy

corbin said the blame lay with tourism a dozen home of his keep records it's been months since these cases were first brought to the government's attention we know of at least two british citizens languishing in detention centers in era and the small inning the jamaican prime minister has said he knows of people who are unable to return to britain remember this is all while leaders of nations formerly under imperial british rule the commonwealth of so-called stolen wealth are in london this is a shameful episode and the responsibility for it flies firmly as the prime minister's door her pandering to bogus bogus immigration targets led to. it will lead to a hostile environment for people contributing to our country it will lead to british citizens being denied any chance treatment losing their jobs problems pension and. through judy trying to send just like criminals and even deported.

historical record straight it and ministers claiming officials corben called it shameful may pay tribute to those who might be deported the interest generation did come here after the war they did help to build this country many of them worked in our public services they contributed they have they have zero right to be here not only that but as for korban i will not say you cannot play station of palace from a man who allows one city center just. after three or in corbin with anti semitism to resume was asked by the s.n.p. leader in westminster ian black about the tourism a rape cause for poor women affected by her man the tree too child policy for poor people scotland have been clear hanging benefits on proving trauma isn't a choice it is a disgrace and one which we will retry the women involved the chief of the british

medical association in scotland that's it it is fundamentally damaging for women forcing them to disclose really been abuse at the time and in a manner not of their choosing of financial penalty mr speaker this is the form with the box for the childs the what kind of society do we live in this type of society we live in a society where we have taken every care to ensure that this is in as sensitive. as possible well after a week of dealing sensitively in london with around fifty two heads of state representing two point four billion people what has the commonwealth heads of government meeting actually been like one nation that took a lead on the tourism a deportation scandal was st kitts and nevis the smallest sovereign state in the western hemisphere which finally won independence from britain in the one nine hundred eighty s. . i mean i was its foreign minister brantley was also the premier of the caribbean

island of me this foreign minister welcome to going underground so how did it feel to walk into a huge political storm here during the what was supposed to be this governor will the governments of it when it will feel to be going down to the destruction of landing cards and to raise amaze home secretary and prime minister deporting people to your region who are british but thank you for the invitation how does it feel i think that we are satisfied that through attention from the media and through pressure from the caribbean led by high commissions here in london that we've been able to get the attention of the british government and this to getting that attention i heard one colleague say that politicians first they feel the heat and then this is the light so i think that this was an example here and the timing of it coming as it does on the eve of the commonwealth heads meeting i think it was a distraction that the government here did not want at this particular time.

presumably prepared for it probably because you were quoted as saying to raise a maze best placed you are supporting it all through absolutely i think she is best placed i mean she certainly was the home secretary when some of these measures were introduced that have now led to this problem the british government said it was an unintended consequence but the reality is that lives have been destroyed people have been affected we have families that have been ruined the part we have a situation where we have reports that people have actually been deported or denied entry haven't left the country this is a very very busy in the caribbean as a whole preserving the integrated kids a little bit so we're going to jamaica and booklets being published by the government telling people how to cope with life in the caribbean you didn't have any people we didn't really and we we're told again by a high commission that he is now looking at a few cases but certainly this is a caribbean issue and so in having these conversations we are trying to ensure that the government here on the stand. the caribbean is united on this particular issue

so this is even going beyond just the mere question of an apology i think this is now a question of compensation for these people to try to see how if at all they can be made whole again wow and around that table with your fellow foreign ministers from all around the former british empire they kind of shared your view about oh i think that this view is a view that is is very closely held by colleagues of some that we're passionate about because that's been mine and i think you know your viewers must be in mind that when the when russia arrived here empire when russia would have arrived in one nine hundred forty eight in fact the sheer marks seventy years this was immediately after world war two when great britain our mother country reached out to the caribbean and said to its colonies and to its subjects who were then of course all of us were not yet independent and said you must now come come to england and help us rebuild in fact my own father came in one nine hundred fifty five so he was part

of that generation and he used to regale us with these tales and said you know in the windows when they tried to get a flock to let to rent to do would say you know no irish no blacks no dogs but what about that region they left behind some might argue the same kids and nevis swapped the colonial masters of london for the colonial masters of washington d.c. in the i.m.f. what is the you are prime minister talking to we have been doing meeting the i.m.f. certainly knows what is the telling you to do what we need to the i.m.f. quite regularly we are members of course of the i.m.f. we are contributors to that and we get advice and we get what record article for assessment so they come in from gives them the right to tell you what to do don't govern well i don't know if it's you give them right i think they come in and they make suggestions or recommendations or look at the economy let's bear in mind there's a lot of us in the smaller countries we do have. scarcity sometimes of the technical

skills and the technical expertise so they come in they have to be invited in and so it's not a question that they impose anything on us we decide of course whether or not we accept in fact we had a program on the stairs you programmed it that the form of government incentives the u.s. had introduced in response to an out of control debt situation and they are not that the pill is any less bitter but they argued quite success was a home grown program rather than an i.m.f. imposed telling you and you were doing it to involve yourselves in a land for debt program basically privatizing was to save kids and live this well most was to well not most but clearly there's a price to pay and i think that the lesson of saying it's in the us is that there is a price to pay for profit spending for an approach to governance which is all about tax and spend and you get to a point where our debt ballooned now in fairness they did not just balloon on the

basis of profit spend in there was some of that there was one to the wastage but it also ballooned because we've been hit by climatic conditions the storms we had to rebuild because we are treated by international organizations as a middle income country we know and have access to overseas development assistance or concession refinance and so what that resulted in is that we were forced to go to the market to borrow often times at commercial rates for building infrastructure and so that naturally affected our debt position in the numbers of lenders yeah you talk about climatic conditions because there's one country in your region which famous castro castro. prison was cuba he said they owed their success to the fact they never did have an i.m.f. obligation to have cuban doctors come to your country to help in the wake of a testament to their medical system over yours well this is not so much odd because i think the cuban revolution has done one thing and it's shown the. the strength of

the human spirit cuba has been on the embargo blockade from the united states now for nigh fifty years the reality is that we have suffered as a people but through that suffer and we have build resilience and one of the areas that have excelled is medical care medical. care of all kinds so the truth is that cuba is not only because they have it would they call it brigades that come out and have a system countries not only in the caribbean but in africa and elsewhere in times of tragedy but they also have over the years trained no doctors so we have many of the only doctors from sink is in need so we're trained in cuba and so it is part and parcel of that cooperation we have always supported cuba and cuba is reintroduction into the world we have always virtually every speech you make of the united nations we condemn the embargo which we think has a horrible effect on people in the standard of living and their lives and one must with all the other. things that one can say about cuba one must admire the resilience of the circumstance which didn't pay back from washington do you think

you get for those kinds of speeches because the european union finance ministers are just blacklisted your country is being an uncooperative jurisdiction for being in the panama papers you know what so late after the papers do you see that as a smearing of your country it is a smear and it is an unfortunate smear and because i think that we have been very responsive we were assessed two years ago by the global tax forum and given the rating of largely complying at the same rate in the united states of america gaap we have been very responsive legislate why would the e.u. do this i think they did this because the e.u. required of us a commitment last year and in our commitment led to this that one particular commitment was too vague we didn't use the precise language of the e.u. wanted part of the problem with the e.u. and all the organizations you know the g seven the g twenty you name it they make rules for the rest of us but we're not at the table when those rules have been made so whenever there is a need to sort of watching and waiting with bated breath to find out what new world or. what are we going to have after this that we have to comply because there's

a lot of fear in going on living with you think the cambridge analytical story was a smear against your government i mean this video footage of a opposition politician apparently being caught in a million dollars sting hurdle trump always says everything came originally because being complained about is based probably is where we have a smear against you i think it is a smear but of course is what we call dirty tricks in politics frankly i don't know if it was cambridge analytical but a similar effort was made in addition to me so the picture of you with i think julian assange is lawyer yes i did time i didn't even know that he represented julian saw he would write that is yes we were having a conversation about a possible operation sentence and it's in the it was that he wanted to set up so it was only afterwards of course that this connection became clear but that aside i feel that the whole issue of cambridge and live it was to expose sort of the most sordid side to the politics and the sort of mind bending techniques that people are

now getting involved in trying to sway public opinion so who did offer this opposition. to millions of well there's a lot of finger pointing going on i have no evidence as to who might throw your government all i can say is it didn't it did not benefit him it didn't benefit our side of the island so one can presume that it was the other side of that was involved with this and that would have been the form of government they were placed voted out in two thousand and fifteen so we're leaving the european union how far you are thinking about the album economic union in that region obviously venezuela very much one of the big stories of that hemisphere from the old trump is the foreign affairs that nato nations have destabilising is going to be where do you see alberta's a economic trading i think i think algos important i think there are some suggestions now did it arguably needs to be reformed but let us not forget that when oil prices were at the highest. and our economy is well on the knees and at

the brink of extinction that meant a swimmer provided relief so while both were pressured they offered us the opportunity to continue to run economies because clearly you need fuel in order to run your economy they offered us that opportunity terms that made it a little easier for some to lower prices again got back to some semblance of respectability you know if you so the truth is that alba has for us certainly in its membership very useful purpose at that time because of the difficulties that we were experiencing and i was a fossil suggests that we're not for the we're not for picture that economies in the caribbean would have been an even worse shape than they are right now foreign minister premier negus thank you so much of the show will be back on monday with tony blair's attorney general would morris what makes a war legal or illegal till then keep in touch by social media with your monday the day of england's patron saint the palestinian activist george.

w. on the dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce talk to try to tell you that will be gossiping tablets but i shall. tell you are not cool enough to buy your product. all the hawks that we along with all the one. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people

living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in milford dismiss it to do you like it this isn't my cup of tea is

going up the study hall maybe. you know chalk it up to tell me they should be the only palestinians it gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think this is about those who endure under the oak vision the only good give us. and the earth is all of us that is jihad to this lady of the muscle that i know if you call tedium it doesn't seem to do more. don't put this off. yet.

i don't know. what. i'm. up stories for the on the u.n. special envoy for syria says the peace process must be. following the u.s. led bombing of the country adding the move house efforts to find a solution to the crisis with. north korea's halting all of its missile tests declaring the country's nuclear is complete washington meanwhile is convinced it's all thanks to its pressure. the european court of human rights decision to block the deportation of the convicted of hate speech in france sparks debate the issue is you can't be talking about freedom of speech and integrity and then. i will

defend your right to free speech but when that free speech. to deny i know. the nuts when they. start. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international now midday here in moscow on this saturday we have your top stories for this hour the u.n. special envoy for syria has said that peace efforts have to be relaunched following the u.s. led bombing of the country last week america the u.k. and france launched more than one hundred cruise missiles at syria saying it was in response to an alleged chemical attack staffan de mistura discussed the issue with the russian foreign minister for off who said the bombing has derailed the peace process. we never expected this to be. very

very potential danger of. peace and security this what this happened last week. yes helped. cheat in geneva the group are the three countries the u.s. the u.k. and france have not only bombed imaginary chemical facilities in syria but also bombed the geneva peace process reports about the alleged chemical attack in the former rebel held enclave of duma only come from various media outlets and controversial activist groups and although no actual evidence of chemical weapons being used has been put forward the outside government's been accused of gassing civilians and even before the international chemical watchdog could even start its official probe into the allegations the u.s. u.k. and france launched a huge bombing campaign on the country. we

cannot launch the united states cannot launch a military attack based upon innuendo and without real facts if you saw this in two thousand and three and we're still living through the disastrous consequences of that decision if you're going to launch a military attack particularly in this part of the world where so many other players are potentially involved such as russia iran. and as well as syria itself it could easily cause a slippery slope of a catastrophic disaster in that region if not in the world the ability for escalation at that point military escalation is great and we saw that in iraq so

are we going to be seeing history repeating itself but on a larger scale. boyko now takes a look at what's being portrayed in the west as a humanitarian intervention in syria after allegations of a chemical attack syrians were immediately reassured because in case you missed it heavily armed. all the way with a humanitarian intervention. may sound sort of bronze send us all like a lot of that because they've been buying high tech killing power last week that. there are plenty of other countries involved in the syrian cost of basically the reigning largest ones doing it for humanitarian purposes. the idea is that the fools on tradition that lists all told. and it comes to weapons they think the conventional kind they've tried the chemical was on the biological arms and you pay a lot and well who won world war two korea vietnam iraq won on don't

tell you so when they tell you they'd really rather you didn't use them they are all through the room experience there's a message to you just put some terrorist six functional weapons on the symbol buy it from western homs deal is because that way you can fire them safely from the moral high ground these three amigos dump them friday for a into syria i think humanitarian intervention they need to buy it millions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid into the country started shouting missiles were humanely interleaving out and million bucks apiece while every hole cruise missile represents a one off a million dollar aid package only in your face and getting help to the people who really need to look to the syria mission really achieve apart from going up a few empty buildings where everyone has been told to take them myself anyway

releases under the car in washington london paris this kind of p.r. is the ball subject a striking a lesson into syria makes for much better headlines that stormy brags it on for as you protest is getting a police gassing of their own mission except. north korea is holding all missile launches with immediate effect and shutting down the country's nuclear started the country's leader kim jong un made the announcement at a party meeting according to the country's state news agency. now the nuclear is asian is complete and verified circumstances we do not need any further nuclear tests medium long range an intercontinental missile tests what we have from the korean central news agency the official state agency is kim jong moon has announced from the april twenty first the country to be suspending all nuclear tests and all ballistic missile tests shutting down one of the key nuclear testing facilities and

focusing instead its resources according to the north korean leader on building a strong socialist economy and mobilizing people to increase the country's quality of life they've also added to that of course a clause. that was likely to be one stating that north korea will never use nuclear weapons unless there is a nuclear threat or nuclear provocation to the country so that is the clause we have to bear in mind here they've also said they're willing to intensify dialogue and negotiations with both neighbors and the international community so that's the context here of more of a thawing of relations with the southern neighbor out of course coming up to that crucial meeting in june with president trump should that go ahead as planned that will be the first meeting between a current sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader and of course we have a tweet from trump to be expected to be without that stating very good news from north korea announcing those suspension of nuclear ballistic tests and looking forward to the summit so he's taken the news positively while it is an optimistic

and while this is good news of course it should be taken with a pinch of salt this could be a bargaining chip some sort of bluff of course on the part of north korean leader that's what mainland this will point out nevertheless it is a part of pattern a very much changing rhetoric between north korea its southern neighbor and the united states so certainly a big reaction tomorrow from world leaders from the u.n. and of course all eyes on june when that historic summit may very well take place the u.s. vice president has said there's progress could not have been achieved without president trump and his maximum pressure strategy but antiwar campaigner brian becker thinks the latest breakthrough comes in spite of u.s. threats. this is a major step you can see that from the beginning in this process north korea and south korea have been the drivers this diplomatic offensive i would call it the us government has been caught flat footed if you saw our way of trying trying to do

what he said my pants our arms folded glazed eyes a sitting down when everyone else was celebrating when the two koreans marched into the olympic games and the whole crowd was cheering careers on both the koreans on both sides were cheering the american government looked like going to obstruction of the peace train was starting to leave the station and so down the tramp had to play catch up and jump under that train. the european court of human rights has hold at the deportation of an influential islamic preacher convicted of hate speech in france a france plan to deport m m l how to deal with the back to algeria following his conviction for provoking hatred towards jews shiites and women in public speeches he reportedly made slurs against jewish people and argued that women should not have the right to even leave their own homes without permission police have warned the amman poses a significant threat and his speech was encourage act to terra and we discussed the

issue with a number of analysts. people who come into the united kingdom you know france the european union have to sign up to the values of tolerance and respect respect for different faiths different ways of life it wasn't any kind of laws within europe freedom of movement of free speech he wanted to deny people that the issue is you can't be talking about freedom of speech and integrity and then silence people i will defend your right to free speech but when that free speech is the supreme oh the denying of all those their rights the nuts when the actual boundaries because stopped because you cannot say to somebody you have free speech in that free speech you're trying to deny all the people that right and one of the problems we've got is what we don't see our justice system being dealt with properly and dealing with what it always does this is and get on with it we see a number of extremists who are involved in terrorism or supporting terrorism now behind bars the justice system is working.
