threats to our security is a threat to our people and we need to defend ourselves this is our own god given right now it's a national right to defend those. thank you it well after the break. playwright and food bank volunteer tara was one explains why the one in the whole million food bank packages were needed last year to keep british people from starving when the u.k. has money for storm shadow missiles at one million dollars a pop and from the news hauled up and told us in britain on the wall squares simply getting buried penalty to lethal military force all the civil coming up in part two of going on the ground. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos a member of the commission to do it like you know. this is my complicity is going

up to the sun you know maybe you know john i just hope. the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision know only could do this . and that is all of us not just you have to this lady of the muscle that you have i'm going to compete in the customs you know do more commitments last time piss off . welcome back want to go through some of this week's headlines is broadcaster former liberal democrat member of parliament lembit obrecht lembit u.k. nato joint warrior exercise today that we get wind russian all the other scandals

or you've chosen this very grim story from going to level as independent this is no war exercise this is war for real the independent reports yemen at least twenty killed including bride after airstrike by saudi led coalition it's wedding party not for the first time it looks like a completely innocent social occasion meant to be a celebration has resulted in mass death and forty five wounded obviously change ten thousand been killed in this british rock war but what we do know is that over ten thousand people are being killed the majority the vast majority civilians over eighty percent of yemen's population now in need of humanitarian aid in that sense this individual killing pales into insignificance but this is happened time and time again now if some other aggressor did that to a western country there'd be pandemonium it would be brought up in the united nations there'd be an emergency session of the council but this seems to be treated

as some kind of collateral damage perhaps because our allies of the west are responsible and i should say the sales of weapons and bombs to saudi arabia from this country have increased by five hundred percent since the start of the war but i think surely leaders apologists as it work could defend themselves by saying wedding parties have been a particular target so that they wouldn't want to do any thirteen by the u.s. air force i mean there's just paktika province december twenty ninth twenty one one hundred revellers die in a village in eastern afghanistan. province july first twenty go to at least thirty possibly forty celebrities twenty seven members of the family twenty of form a twenty and we're going to rebuild iraq forty two dead wedding guests even the musicians hired to play of this at the ceremony this is the point afshin that word the sterile phrase can. lateral damage is written large in the destruction not just of immediate family but friends and relatives because the west has made another mistake yes i suppose the british could try to distance themselves from the

american mistakes but in reality let's not play that game this shows that there's a lack of responsibility a failure of targeting even if one argues that those wars for legitimacy and they were in place reined by the saudi arabian government say they don't deliberately target civilians britain is giving a massive aid package to the world's worst humanitarian crisis how do you answer the oh well it's a mistake let's move on let's forget about it once again same point if it was the other way around if it was americans or british who died in a wedding due to another country's aggression you'd never hear the end of it but there wasn't much coverage at all the day after this happened tony all today i should say director general the b.b.c. when we answered questions as to why there's no coverage of yemen it's about these commercial activities but you have a story here from evolve politics well this is about the b.b.c. this ties into what we've just been discussing in a sense of politics reports the b.b.c. work directly with m i five to bar left wing journalists and prevent a left wing british government this goes back about eighty years i think turn

around one hundred thirty three where no was in for the whole story right up potentially to the one nine hundred ninety s. it started then two years after the informal conversations there was a formal agreement that there would be conversation between the secret service which of course didn't exist officially till one thousand eight hundred nine and the people running the b.b.c. to prevent arguably a left wing government now this was all denied at the time and you can kind of understand why but it's. what you get away with it's a he says association was enough you didn't need to be a member of a left wing organization they actually had three different categories and i think that is understandable because there was a terror in this country about the communists over running the country but here's the irony. i work with the b.b.c. i must be right wing i joined the b.b.c. around this time which included years ago do let no one ever say i would have to england but they were supposed to was vile some of us sitting here in our tea which basically means we've been potentially an article by the b.b.c.

and now they have to explain why we're here it makes some mockery of those people who point to one or two stations and say we've got a bias but the other ones haven't i think in reality there's much less bias overall then we think but it also means that those who seek to blame others need to look at their own house first well very serious article which i'm sure they have to be some kind of inquiry into let's go to a source that probably never makes it all into the b.b.c. and perhaps the headline shows were yes the world socialist web site says nearly thirty thousand single parent families made homeless in england in twenty seventeen now let's think about that this is england a first world country and it turns out that something like forty seven percent of households who are statutory homeless are single parents lots of work but they simply can't make ends meet and the figures of gone up there's a charity called ginger bread which has been very concerned about this and here's

the other point the changes to the benefit system make this even worse where there's a cent austerity well these are the people are going to start the least there has been no coverage on the order of the mainstream media here in britain could be thirty thousand single parent families there is peripheral coverage i occasionally see things on the news you see maybe a little bit more in newspapers especially after leaning ones but this is an inconvenient truth eight percent increase on five years ago as austerity policies that they didn't save directly from tourism is david cameron's policies there's been a ten fold increase in zero hours contracts by forty thousand people your party liberal democrat coalition in those early years can't blame me for that i wasn't there for that period of government with coalition. you're right from twenty ten on words has been a big problem it actually goes back to the labor administration as well tony blair's administration gordon brown's of ministration also made changes to the benefit system let's take a step back from this these figures once again sound

a little bit sterile we're talking about tens of thousands of people living in the united kingdom which is the sixth wealthiest economy in the world who are homeless and they're trying to bring up children and i think that squares two comfortably with those who claim that we are the bastion of the welfare state little bit thank you. well in the past twenty four hours the u.k.'s largest food bank provider the trussell trust has claimed failures in the tory welfare system of lead to more and more people needing food banks to live former food bank manager charles when he wrote and acts in a new british theatre production the food bank as it is joins me now to our thanks for coming on going underground the odds on favorite to hold your latest odds to be the next prime minister is jacob riis morgue the tory m.p. marginally beating gorgon on the odds says food banks are rather uplifting just describe what inspired you to create this new play. well far from uplifting i found

that when i started working at the food bank i couldn't quite believe what i was seeing i was shocked to be frank at the situations that were p.p. people were coming in with. i felt that the stories were weren't widely known amongst the public that that things were going on under our notice is that people just had no idea about this they were living in a parallel universe so i was seeing seeing people who had had no money for weeks. yet families with young children it makes absolutely no difference whether their young children in the family or someone's benefits are delayed or they're being reassessed the presence of children in a household makes no difference if you boris johnson and dominic round the other tory m.p. board shorts of foreign secretary it is not about people languishing in poverty this is more about cash flow problems i totally disagree with that i mean people

living in desperate poverty even even people who are working in secure employment are really just about managing we often find people who. although they may not be able to feed themselves they also can't hit their homes and sometimes they can't even light their homes people are not able to run for it is. or ovens because they don't have the money to pay for the power so people really are in poverty it's a serious problem in this country i know it's been performed in front of jeremy corbyn before jeremy corbyn became labor leader we had blairites appearing on this program advocating the carrot and stick approach towards welfare and to the most vulnerable how do you think the media managed to create if you do a perception that actually these are just people scrounging and using food banks as some sort of in a number rudd's words magic money tree of a different so. i think the discourse in some of the press is the plea distasteful

and immoral frankly that you know these are not just words these words are really hurting people they really you know internalize the stigma that peddles and and people just believe it and even articles that depict food bank clients in the supposedly sympathetic light often think go into full detail and leave the person open to horrible comments trolling and. in so doing they they help to create an atmosphere of which the prime minister said food bank use is complex the reasons for food bank use a complex and that it's not a simply a matter of having enough money to eat going abroad minister a member of i think she may be trying to fudge the issue and distract people from the fact that the main issue is poverty that's what's driving things by case

there are obviously there are compounding factors that result in a person living in poverty so disability mental health issues addictions. make it more difficult so it's almost soldiers cruelty that on the part of the government conscious cruelty is the phrase used by some as regard to achieve it drives them people like the director ken loach. he's been on this program we depicted them of course famous. palme d'or winning film on your blake i think before i did the job at the food bank i would have thought that phrase was overblown but having seen the reality is really really hard to escape the notion that there is a conscious policy going on here to leave people in the. and possibly that somehow that will deter people from claiming benefits. i mean when i see someone who is money has been stopped overnight who has a disability who has maybe depression and is driven to the verge of you know

feeling hopeless and despairing i have met people in line people who've been using the food bank who attempted suicide and it's very difficult to escape the feeling that there is a conscious cruelty going on terrorism thank you thank you all in a moment we'll hear an excerpt from the play and if you're in london in the u.k. you can see it at seven pm at center eighty seventy in waltham so that after the show they will be back on saturday with palestinian mc gaza or up to the un's mideast envoy has told israel just stop shooting at children keep in touch via social media was here on saturday fifty one years to the day muhammad ali refused to serve in the u.s. war against vietnam that would kill more than four million men women and children he was stripped of his title as heavyweight champion of the world now here is sarah somerville performing an excerpt from food bank as it is a lot of us volunteers a former cia bank uses and every week we hear the same things

i'm so ashamed of so. companies it's me needing help it's usually me helping other people some of them are quite pale some of them thin some of them can barely hold their heads up they're so low on energy. often if you show them slightest kindness or understanding that burst into tears. even the men will say things like. i feel broken or. everything's wrong just everything. and there be tears streaming down their faces

you try and keep it light of course you do. that every week that at least now at least one person says they feel like you know. killing them so yes. we keep a happy face you know we really try but sometimes it's all we can do not to. break down and cry with. i know some people say that food banks are run by a bunch of do gooders taking the place what government should be doing what we meant to do i let people start off.

you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into that excitement is that not knowing that's where the adrenaline in much comes from. and you can easily move by definition and the extremes will. the violence is a part and it's almost

a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave badly. they're going to be full of horse colorful that all. goes well so for the last. one this may be an unfair in their role. in the thought. i would roll or where no i really did a poll down. meaning reason is that the fifty dollars and the involves this comes from the involvement of. the two koreas are on the verge of signing a peace treaty i don't hold trump summit is in the works is peace coming to the korean peninsula well it's possible the foreign policy blog in the corporatists media are less enthusiastic after all conflict is very business model.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is really. close.

this whole political. donald trump talks of his beautiful friendship with france's emanuel mccrone out of their white house meeting with the paris still struggling to find common ground on a number of crucial issues. and that for extremists it's revealed that an alleged bodyguard of some of the in law has been claiming benefits in germany for more than two decades. russia's defense ministry displays fragments of missiles it says the syrian government intercepted during the recent western strikes on the country the us had previously claimed that all of its missiles hit their targets. and the football fan is fighting for his life after being attacked by a taliban supporters ahead of a match in northern england to have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder .

global news twenty four seven this is r.t. international from moscow we call them bright welcome to the program donald trump is heaped praise on emanuel mccrum of that meeting in the white house the two presidents met to discuss topics ranging from syria to the iran nuclear deal but it's the touchy feely friendship that's all over the headlines right now. thank you. mr president the old saying what a great relationship we have and they're actually correct it's not fake news finally it's not great news so it's a great honor great honor that you're here but we do have a very special relationship and try to get that piece of. peace we

have to make room for he is perfect so it is really it is really great to be with you and your special for now a lot of the basis of recent unity between donald trump and french president mccraw on has been the recent attack on syria france and the united states along with the u.k. cooperated in the recent air strikes in syria now it seems pretty clear that mccrie on was hoping that this recent attack could kind of lay the basis for a continued cooperation between the united states and france kron has been referring to the united states as kind of a gerund turf contemporary multi-lateralism however when he brought this rhetoric up at the white house donald trump didn't seem quite eager to go along with it in the long run we need to bring peace want to make sure that syria does not become an enemy in the region we have spent seven trillion dollars in the middle east and we've got nothing for it nothing less than nothing so far as i'm concerned that

difference and striking rebuff from trump is a little bit of a blow to mccraw especially when he himself bragged about the possibility that he had convinced donald trump to keep u.s. military forces in syria now donald trump says that that's not the case but mcclellan has been insisting that it's him who is responsible for convincing trump to keep a military presence in syria trump later went on to underline the fact that the united states will be leaving syria as soon as they can as. for syria's concerned i would love to get out i'd love to bring our incredible warriors back home but when it came to the iran deal just an hour before the press conference donald trump and the french president they were both very adamant in their position it was a terrible being should have never ever been made we could have made a good deal or a reasonable deal if iran's it was a terrible deal we have to take it as a part of the broader picture which is security in the region it's insane it's

ridiculous it should have never been made but we will be talking about it what we want to do is to contain the iranian president since the bridge and and diesel fuel it's part of this fault rather pick cannot get to be restarting anything they restart it they could have big problems bigger than they've ever had before and you can mark it down but after sitting down with the donald it seems the crown has changed his tune somewhat the people. that he put on a call for a number of months i've been saying that this was not a sufficient day you but it will enable us at least until twenty twenty five to have some control over the nuclear activities we therefore wish to work on a new deal with iran mr president you were saying that there was no plan b. that the. key to it was iran deal was to be preserved no you were talking about a new deal with a boundary why did you change your mind you tell you just but basically when i said

there was no plan b. i usually refer to the fact there is no plan it be he was about climate change rather than iran. look what do you have at the bit there are options i don't see. what is the what if scenario all your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear are you going to. thank you. emanuel mccrone did add some symbolism to the meeting by presenting president with a tree from a first world war battlefield the site of the two leaders planting it in the white house garden certainly give the internet plenty to run with. well the poor man's soul is a great honor to take part because i presume he's veterans of the cold witness

trees that that lived through the war see around you have continued to grow. it's emerged that a man who was once allegedly osama bin laden's body guard has been living in germany on welfare for more than twenty years with the details he's probably bored a few people have forgotten the atrocities that some of bin laden's terrorist group al qaida committed and inspired a monster minded the nine eleven attacks and even though some of the laden was killed in two thousand and eleven he was just the figurehead of the group and some of its members are still out there one of them it turns out has been living in

germany for over twenty years now he's been getting welfare payments to boot he's been named in the media as sami a he's a chain is he a national and he's believed to have joined al qaida in afghanistan back in two thousand and illegibly worked as one of osama bin laden's bodyguards because he was already a german resident by that point he dented germany three years prior a need on a student visa when he came back he filed an asylum request that was denied in two thousand and six and a call in germany described him as an acute and considerable danger to public security but a higher court. subsequently overrode the deportation order and they cited concerns that a would be subjected to torture back home in tunisia now sami a was never actually charged with terrorist activities in germany but all sources deem him

a security risk and he has to report to a police station on a daily basis he and this whole story has been unearthed again because it's caught the attention of the alternative for germany party they're the ones that put in a request with the regional authorities to find out the status of this man and how much money he's getting in benefits payments and it's triggered harsh criticism from both the f.t. parties but also from senior voices within the angle of merkel's own c.d.u. party german asylum laws being shamelessly exploited here do we have to give tax money because we cannot deport i have known the standing of the school. now this situation where suspected terrorists used human rights laws to avoid deportation is by no means that new here in the u.k. there have been similar cases immigration judges ruled against a reason may who was home secretary at the time and they found in favor of six men

. who had been fighting deportation for ten years the home office had said that they had links to al qaida and were a national security risk to the u.k. but judges agreed that the men were at risk of torture if they went back home to algeria and last year a government report a home office report here revealed that over forty foreign born terrorists are devoid did deportation from the u.k. off to using specifically human rights law to argue that it would be dangerous to return to their home countries it's precisely because of these types of cases that the reason may now as prime minister has taken a much tougher stance he's threatened to throw out. in human rights laws in order to make it easier to pull suspected terrorists. a liverpool football supporters in a critical condition right now after clashes with italian fans ahead of a game in english city on tuesday to roma supporters are under arrest on suspicion
