of the kind of repression that we see domestically in the us and that's why we have building in attempt to rebuild an antiwar movement into millis rest movement in the us to confront these contradictions and yet nato his military has failed to install proxies arguably from iraq to libya do you think though i have may yet what can venezuela which will see presidential elections next month we have seen that these attempts to try to circumvent the will of the people who have not been successful they can in fact put in place repressive governments that can be installed in a place for a few years but it is things that the trend in the last thirty forty years have been a trend going toward. establishing more and more progressive government that are committed to upholding the objective human rights of the people that they think

they'll be a success have been successful in venezuela that the world's number one oil superpower argument no i don't but it's very it's a very dangerous situation because we don't believe i'm really concerned whether or not they're going to allow the election to take place and next month you know better explain the lesser takes place that basically we're going to see the situation become more normalized in venezuela because the the opposition has to come to terms with the fact that you have a much newer government in place for six years a gem of iraq and thank you my pleasure. what role did this race take you from cambridge on let's go play in the elections of a small caribbean island we also foreign minister of st kitts and nevis mock brantley about i.m.f. destabilization in the negev see if we develop and raul castro and tourism it gets question on our policy on the rape of the poor at pm here's bill the civil coming of about to have going on the ground.

we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone has signed up to the flag and poisoned by our own people i've seen 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 exposure from the berm pits would read literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to move using model is. delayed and i hope you don't

. welcome back i made goals 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 win the. should we 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 lands and its was taken in two thousand and nine and as i seem to recall in two thousand and nine it was a labor home secretary who was a. clarification from number ten would later have to be issued for that and jeremy corbin said the blame lay with your resume doesn't the 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 error and a small annoying the jamaican prime minister has said he knows of people who are unable to return to britain remember this is all while the leaders of nations formally under imperial british rule the commonwealth or so-called stolen wealth are in london this is a shameful episode and the responsibility for it lies 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 homes and pensions through engineered tension centers like criminals and even deportee title

historical records straight in and ministers claiming officials corbin 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 would not say that this asian of alice from a man who allows anti semitism. after three or in corbin without. semitism to resume was asked by the s.n.p. leader in westminster ian black about the tourism a rape clause for poor women affected by her man the tree to child policy for poor people scotland have been clear paying 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 an abuse at the time and in a manner not of their choosing even of financial penalty mr speaker this is the form with the box for the child's 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. joining me now is its foreign minister mark brantley who's 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 commonwealth governments of it when it all of seemed to be coming down to the destruction of landing cards and to resume 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 satisfied that's true attention from the media and through pressure from the caribbean led by a high commissions here in london that you've been able to get the attention. 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 of 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 tourism is best placed you are supporting your own 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 pot we have a situation where we have reports of people have actually been deported or denied entry haven't left the country this is a very really caribbean as a whole other thing integrating the kids a little bit so we had 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 we didn't 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 certainly to ensure that the government here on the stands of the caribbean is united on this particular issue so this is even gone 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 when when rush arrived here empire when we sort of arrived in one thousand forty eight in fact this year marks seventy years. yes 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 he tried to get a flap to lift to rent it 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 dougherty 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 a look at the economy let's bear in mind that a lot of us in the smaller countries we do have a 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 an austerity program 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 argue quite success was a homegrown program rather than i am if imposed telling you and you were doing it to involve yourselves in a land for debt program basically privatizing was to save kids and. this will be most worth to you 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 we finance and so what that resulted in is that we were forced to go to the market to borrow oftentimes with 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 famously under the castro. fidel castro and his brother not only the castro is in power of course cuba is that 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 strength of human spirit cuba has been on the embargo blockade from the united states now for

nigh fifty years the reality is that they have suffered as a people but through that suffer in the 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 with this 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 train oh doctors so we have many of our own doctors from saying he's in need. we were trained in cuba and so it is part and parcel of that cooperation we have always supported cuba and cuba as 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 i'm sure of things that one can say about cuba one must admire the resilience of the circumstance what sort of payback 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 is the smearing of your country it is a smear and it is an unfortunate smear and because i think that we have been for our response if we were assessed two years ago by the global tax form and given the rate of largely compliant 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 letter and in our commitment 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's a meeting you're sort of watching and waiting with bated breath to find out what new world order we're going to have after this that we have to comply with 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 curdle trouble is everything came originally because being complained about is based probably is where with the smear against you i think it is a smear but of course is what we call dirty tricks and 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. lawyer lawyer yes i did time i didn't even know that he represented you in a song he would write yes that is yes we were having a conversation about a possible operation sentence and it's and he 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 now

get 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 governor 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 that was involved with this and that would have been the formal government they were placed voted out in two thousand and fifty so we're leaving the european union how far are you thinking about the album economic union in that region obviously venezuela very much one of the big stories of that hemisphere from the all of the foreign affairs that nato nations have destabilizing is going to be where do you see alberta economic trading i think i think algos important i think there are some suggestions now did it arguably nice reformed but let us not forget that when oil prices were at the highest and our economies were on the knees and at the brink of extinction

that meant a swimmer provided relief through alba through pressure they offered us the opportunity to continue to run our 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 us and 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. experience it and i will suffice to suggest that were it not for out the word not for picture that our economies in the caribbean would have been even worshiped than they are right now foreign minister premier nevius thank you so much of the show will be back on monday would be awesome tony blair's attorney general lord 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 saints the palestinian activist said george.

want. the u.n. back to chemical weapons. one of the sites of the alleged chemical attack in syria . amid concerns the mission is attempting to limit the number of interview witnesses. also the. u.s. . says it's because it. is now clear. that u.s. money and equipment sent to the lebanese army. as a terror group. welcome

. back to chemical watchdog has announced a fact finding mission has visited one of the series other sites rather of an alleged chemical attack in the city of duma to collect samples they'll be sent to a laboratory in the netherlands and other labs as well and the findings will be compiled in a report to the country's party to the chemical weapons convention. that it will consider future steps including further visits the russian foreign ministry has expressed concerns over alleged attempts by the experts to limit the amount of visited sites and interviewed witnesses. just last week unconfirmed reports of the incident were used as a justification by america the u.k. and france to launch missiles against syria the u.n. special envoy for the country has said peace efforts have to be relaunched following the u.s. led assault we never expected it to be. in very very

potential danger of. peace and security is what happened last week. it's not helped now for cheap in geneva. by the three countries the u.s. the u.k. and france have not only the magic chemical facilities in syria but also geneva process meanwhile the u.n. security council has gathered for an informal meeting in a secluded farmhouse in southern sweden secretary general antonio good areas again stressed there could be no military solution to the conflict nonetheless admitted there was still a long way to go to bring members of the security council together on the issue. and all though no independent categorical evidence of chemical weapons being used has been put forward the asset government's been accused of gassing civilians even before the watchdog could start its probe the u.s. u.k.

and france launched air strikes last minute basis of social media reports. thanks. and the west has called the missile strikes a humanitarian intervention is a different take though from polly. after allegations of a chemical attack syrians were immediately reassured because in case you missed it heavily armed westerners will play a role in their way with a humanitarian intervention as. missiles from france britain and the us are like no other because they combine high tech killing power with good intention there are plenty of other countries involved in the syrian

cluster but it's only the really nice ones doing it for humanitarian purposes the anger saxons on the poles all traditionalist self rolled when it comes to weapons that they think the conventional kind they've tried the chemical was on the biological arms and used to be a lot wilder one world war two korea vietnam iraq one on their own too so when they tell you they'd really rather you didn't use them they are all true even from experience say the message to just put some terrorists and stick to the bunch of those weapons on the possible by the from western homs deal is because that way you can fire them safely from the moral high ground these three amigos dumped them friday for a into syria i think humanitarian intervention they need via millions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid into the country started shouting humanely into eating

out and million bucks apiece while every total cruise missile represents a one off a million dollar aid package only premier place and getting help to the people who really need to look to the syria mission and really achieve apart from going up a few empty buildings where everyone has been told to take them myself anyway for leaders under the carpet in washington london and paris this kind of p.r. is the ball subject a strike and a lesson in some area makes for a much better headline that storm. greg zen. is getting a release thing of their. mission at. the other headlines north korea says it's stopping its nuclear and missile tests with immediate effect leader kim jong il had made it out spent at a party meeting that's according to state news agencies with the details here's

jeff levine. now the nuclear ization is complete and verified circumstances we do not need any further nuclear tests medium long range intercontinental missile tests the north korean leader made that surprise announcement early on saturday morning and it came with a promise that will never use the nuclear weapons they already have except in the event of a nuclear threat it was also claimed that previous tests have allowed them to successfully militarized warheads and develop the means of delivery likely in light of that fact japan had a skeptical reaction to the news with the japanese prime minister promising to keep a close watch moscow which has long been working for a diplomatic solution to the crisis pointed out that this is just the beginning of a long process and other powers will need to be ready to make concessions as well. we are glad to note that the situation on the peninsula is the other being in a positive direction in line with the road proposed by russia and china for resolution of the korean issue the through stages assume a mutual freeze on military activity in the region as well as setting up direct

contacts between north korea the u.s. and south korea followed by multilateral talks aimed at a comprehensive resolution of all issues on the korean peninsula including the nuclear issue the north longtime ally china stressed its continued role in the resolving the conflict while expressing hope that p.i. nyang will continue on the path to peace through dialogue with the international community which is something that planning vowed to make a priority just the day before we saw direct phone links being installed between the north and south korean leaders as they prepare for their first comment since two thousand and seven and a much anticipated meeting between donald trump and kim jong un is also in the works trump tweeted that he is looking forward to that while praising the news of the program suspension meanwhile u.s. vice president mike pence so this progress could not have been achieved without trump and his strategy of maximum pressure however analysts we've heard from believe the latest breakthrough comes because of the work of many players in the region not trump stream of threats president has been threatening north korea all

along and don't forget north korea. firing this testing missiles and and carrying out tests until felder. acquire the ability is to deliver a sort of devastating nuclear deterrence the united states even before president trump has given the cold shoulder to north korea and the north korean learned that you noticed those was not to be trusted because while both korea at one time tried to demolish some of their facilities you never get anything in return so this time around kim is learning the tricks and try to acquire credible capability is. the sales of world. cup tickets to russia have produced some interesting patterns so america despite not qualifying has the largest number of foreign funds visiting while the numbers from the u.k. are surprisingly small despite the england team booking their place at the tournament

a number of reports in the british media of late have claimed any fans who travel over won't be safe the reason given is the supposed threat posed by russian hooligans however a new documentary has been looking at the problem in europe itself football beasts premieres next week on the documentary channel here's a quick preview. you never know what's around the world seem to be the excitement now and that's where the address of. the violence is a part of it and it's almost a schizophrenia going cold because we can do all these things and behave quite badly. on this. storm.
