no it's my spirit it was paulie it was stupid to see i took a leap of faith. and came to new york and just didn't know what i was doing i had a house and so i came across yeah i went round the streets of new york raising money with a dream of building something unique senor. elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was to commission to do it looking for you like you know this this is my complicity is going out to the study hall maybe. you know chalk it up just open. the only palestinians who gets the most helpful is to restore counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak

vision know only could do this. and the earth is off it that it's got to this lady in the muscle that you had i don't know if you could compete in the doesn't seem to do more commitments also don't put this off. 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 and nowhere 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'll be a free. and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one in one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. scots have

a knack of blending in yes the coming part of the the fun of the infrastructure or whatever society they've gone into obviously here the i think they simulate better they don't feel part of. as well saying that as much as the clan situation there is a whole thing in new york that is there was presbyterians who came here in german and it's hail in hayman and it drives me crazy because i think we're much more creative than the type thing i think that we actually get out there somewhere that it is the eighty's pop music of simple minds or all these other people who travel and made things happen that guy built the san francisco cable car of the storm well that's going to make you whether it is the guys who then princeton university they came in just i think they didn't really think it's because the risk or fish i think

there is something in scotland though that mixes a bit adventurous maybe it's the bad weather i don't know where we want to go we go somewhere else for the government wetherspoon and princeton was right thing for the revolution he was right he was of the public in scotland brought and found it much easier to be a public of than a subpoena republic america but he. came out from scott not as a young man of middle east and we were far view of coming when was a college for clearing players but he did ministers to the university to train the leadership of the new republic so he came over for the good you have an agenda not really but angus my dogs actually my husband went to princeton and he's cold weather spinner princeton but that's one of their own agendas. again back during i

said before wonderlust of warranting to go somewhere that we've all got it in the roots of just somewhere that we want to go to and not the north is i had an aunt who lived in dumbarton share in a cottage up a hero and claim her husband dies all she said was i want to go to petra and we were like really good petra i've always wanted to i don't know why sometimes it is that thing that you just want to go somewhere not to run away i mean there's people who have been disenfranchised who came to america the people who have been forced to come to america let the slave trade but a lot of people tend to fall of the sun sometimes if you look at immigration we emigrated immigrated immigrated all the way across in the most scots that came to america are in california that's the highest level of scottish people so there must have been just kept looking kept looking kept looking and the thought of. past your

tenth anniversary and eventually this year you get rid of your staff to will do you know will get ten years at least the general think you get these are the. just the big financial thing. and it was tough it was really tough job and i didn't take a wait for a long time just to keep going but i was going to give up. i just want to just keep going and of course length in years past and all the sudden it's your tenth anniversary and followed a tenth anniversary week of what before i was certain susie nickel to hold some of the greatest scottish painters in so we've got curry we've go joan burton we've go. so we want to see the bell and balinese john bell and a lovely man got dressed as so there's a great piece up stairs we talked about

a million we're if you look at the moon on different continents you're connected so yes so we did that for her next year it's all. we've already found someone who's of photography gallery person who's doing that then the following year actually is the guy who painted this who just did the exhibition with mice running underneath that job and it's cold on juno so we're going to do cutting edge for that year so it's not about being a. a museum or. hall made to scotland it was this year slightly self-indulgent. but we're international well this is very much an international school but you go all shapes and sizes all nationalities come here but i know you do your bit for scotland week and what sort of event as the club posted in the past and what did you think of k.t. tunstall b.

live fast woman marshal of the played this year what took them so long. i mean right now i mean with all what's happening in the world and meet all that is let women are just rising and i just upload is like they're taking over and i'm quite happy but that. with scotland week we've done we work a lot with the scottish government i mean in this time last year. nicholas surgeon was over she came here the royal scottish ballet did a performance in this room just two people and it was beautiful i just mean but we've done things with ryan burns who's jared burns the famous painter of this on the sure that this song many great scott i mean there's one. there's not so many scottish people that i would love to even push forward and let america see them so whatever happens in scotland we i just want scotland again to be to

rector specter of what is to be forward and. so that creativity and those we discussed before about how scots tend to assimilate but sometimes that a wee bit shy they are ability. they're very quiet about that and some time use and the hope to create yes exactly this building itself is pretty special i mean even by new york standards this is a quaint it was not one model building is. have lingered scottish there's a plaque downstairs that was built in one thousand forty five to four is seven by under norwood this was the top end of the city our garden wall was farmland after that and ignored built the house thought if it was a two houses next door this the area was also known as little spain and lorca used

to write in the rest of the store which is the oldest spanish restaurant in new york national so it has fourteen streets the widest street in manhattan every single subway line goes through here. klein and jackson pollock lived across the road the guy invented the ease rip it lived there bit one in the suit was the unions of the year so that's why you have union square so the thing and then the other end was the poor so that was where all the prostitutes were and then it became the transvestites in the eighty's and then the leather bar so it's got this and i think cities should have that dark and light and she because it makes the more exciting so much now has been homogenized and. not risky and they've all been to that late night bar somewhere where you knock on

the door and you go in and it's magical and it's a real brigadoon of an experience one seven hundred seven hundred but that's why we've got no name on the door of this north signage and people have to find does this so if you are going to. be. getting to an event or a party other acutely that where excessive or some something with just a. wonderful and surprising but i don't think i can see the sunlight there's been many there's been many plan for their charity is a sure yes we don't never say who are members are and we are winning actors and we've got major major writers but we weren't there all the same your members so that members can spend if you're. already up to them i never i don't. think it's because the just think that an actor is a job they want to be able to come in certain have

a cup of coffee and not be pestered or have a drink and get drunk with their friends they all are to me evidence of the same ability that means so respect and that even goes to my staff my staff or ex than servers and their writers and musicians and some day they may be these people's bosses but they are part of my group because i've been there serving people and i think it's very important that you respect the staff and we respect our members but there's no hierarchy of there's no. clicking of the finger. or. surprising success. very unique atmosphere. are you going to spread your wings for the son of norwood and some for the no i've been i spent a year and a half flying back and forward to los angeles recently and they really tried to court me to go there when i got there it was but it was a bit like watching

a foreign moving reading the titles and looking at the movie and reading the subtitles didn't click. for me i think even like london and new york or more i'm a walking person i love passing people in the street i didn't really get i'm not the hail his person in the world so i'm like surfer but even if i did when i was i wouldn't take norwood to new york i'd go to a not new york to l.a. i would go to l.a. and create a club for them. not just to modernize and copy something and put it somewhere else but go all the or actually find a wonderful building which was howard hughes office and i said can i get the roof and they said what do you mean i wanted to build this police. rooftop garden that people would go into not create something like this which is a give them that air and space and based on almost like japanese we could gotten

close doors to be so that was that if you decide to build something else or so when you're from paisley and paisley talk of paisley's like yours as good fundies oh. i don't know what we are no one ever cocktails is the jimi which we invented and basically because it's made with hendrix hendrix as you know comes from garvin and all the rep saying oh if you ever want to quit scotland i'm going at what could go i don't want to do given when i lived in paisley i'd have been happy going to know the nice fellow i'm a scream but anyways so it's jimi because jimi hendrix and people in scotland call themselves a germy and it's more to cucumber with hendrix gin and a bit of simple and that's how the female head the style of one of the few disciplined. people had the story but though i want it just as we were with and i

want to scotch one ruble the bonnet that is not compulsory for people that. i don't know but i was in glasgow at lax we ever know and then i realise it's probably because we're all at the age where our hero is growing and so we can still grow these but. so yeah so i don't know why i have a wonderful for all of my grandfather in the shipyards and everything. one of them we having a bonnet like this and when the ship was launched the bombs went off and then i always wondered how you ever got your bonnet but same football much is something they would like to asian as well as things but yeah checkers to go in with cheap want to come up with a deal if you can catch a deal when coming. here as india or dealers in the year tell you let's laugh

tracks and that was when they were going out and we can play those can give them a lot of money oh before i can give you is the simon quid for being here that are you know the salary you know it same and paisley is stuck it stuck the whisky in the quick and only of course friends thank you very much and thank you so much thank you thank. you robert barnes sitting here behind me in a plane for the head get on it was much impressed by the tightness of the declaration of arbroath sealed in the sixth of april thirteen twenty not to scotland's right to independence but the idea that the community of the realm of scotland should choose a king they decided to defend their rights it was therefore the the world's foster expression of popular sovereignty the idea of the sovereignty of the people. still defend a scottish party to some which would boil along there after the floodgates of life shut in the town the rest some twenty years ago american historians recognise the

contribution and the connection between scotland's declaration of broth and america's declaration of independence centuries later and george w. bush's press that one of his better decisions did the sex the fable cotton the to celebrate that connection and over the centuries scotland has contributed much to the republic scientists inventors entrepreneurs like i'm the committee after us like our inland but perhaps the most significant thing of all was the concept the democratic idea the government of by and for the people. shall not perish from the face of this. coming up in next week's show and from some medical the radical forces m d a stylish meant one thing in common they're both fun now by the presidency so as i'm going to be changing their come to be a come to revolution from the left i will hope that washington establishment get back in the driver's seat i speak to a pulitzer prize winning journalist and one of washington's key commentators their

very different views over the state of politics and the public. look at the blockade and the animosity for fifty almost sixty years did it change the regime in cuba no the last administration realized that the majority of cuban americans want to normalization a normalized and when you normalize you can talk. and i want to tell you from my experience and to you but when the united states you sugar. instead of

a hammer things change in cuba in the way that the united states wanted it. to work we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic developments only and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

element from the hague on the alleged chemical attack in syria with russia inviting local witnesses to testify that the incident was staged. we were in the basement and then heard someone outside scream gulshan hospitality we were scared they started to pour water on me i don't know why they did this. coming up to pressure is mounting on the qatari regime from its regional rivals and now there are a claims of dubai based company commissioned a film linking the beleaguered gulf states risen in order to justify sanctions. and . not even a dollar facebook's technology chief stresses to british employees that moscow's spending on during the brics it vote total all of ninety seven cents.

good evening nine pm thursday night here in moscow one is kevin zero in this is arts international news to get through tonight thanks for tuning to us no symptoms of chemical poisoning that's how local doctors are describing the aftermath of the attack in the syrian city of duma on april the seven. witnesses explain how it all unfolded to the un backed chemical watchdog just an hour or two ago alongside rush's representative to the group well europe correspondent peter all of it was across it went on for more than an hour didn't pay many witnesses who brought forth a lot of detail to take us through the main points that came out there is a clear message all along wasn't it. there was

a clear message throughout this if we start with what the the words were coming from the russian representative to the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons alexander should get in he said that russia believes that the act that took place in duma was a provocation he accused directly the u.s. france and the united kingdom of tugging at heartstrings by showing images of children who had been as was claimed affected by a chemical attack he said that it was and as far as russia and claim was sloppily staged russia doubling down on their message that this wasn't a chemical attack we also heard from the syrian representative to the o.p.c. w said that syria didn't have chemical weapons that they'd destroyed those under the supervision of the o.p.c. w. then we started to hear more and more information about the actual scenes that we've seen so many times over our t.v.

screens that took place on the seventh of april of this year seventy people we're told were killed in a chemical weapons attack we're told that a mixture of sarin and chlorine were used as part of this attack now we heard from . the representative of the russian military who talked about the device that was supposed to be the. what provided the chemical attack he said that the way it was shown in the canister that was shown in the video that's not how a canister that it delivered a chemical agent would have looked he also questioned the scene in which that canister was found said logistically that wasn't the way it should have looked now we also though heard from one of the well one of the standout witnesses of this attack eleven year old house on the ob he spoke at length about what he experienced on that day. we were in the

basement and then heard someone outside scream go to hospital we were scared they started to pour water on me i don't know why they did this. they told all of us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken up stairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened. right here. live or is it. here it is.

that it hurt and they poured water on me and they put me here and then took me upstairs to my mother. and that's me in the video that's me. yes. now her son and his father were the only witnesses that were brought forward quietly the russian delegation we also heard from doctors that were on the scene they said that they treat people that weren't suffering from the type of symptoms that you would expect from a chemical attack they said that they did treat people who were suffering from a sixty asian from smoke inhalation but nobody that was showed any symptoms of. a chemical substance having being used again very detailed descriptions that were given we can listen to them now. around seven pm i was in the hospital's emergency

room in a person holding a child entered and started shouting chemical weapons chemical weapons the situation in the hospital became chaotic a lot of people were frightened they began panicking people had injuries they had trouble breathing and we had patients like that arriving all the time and the screams chemical weapons chemical weapons were used to create panic but this lasted for about an hour we were treating the patients and sending them home we had no fatal disease or instances of people suffering from poisonous substances. and that's where we are right now the very latest coming from the russian side is that they are saying that this was a salon police staged attempt to show what was a chemical attack when that type of chemical attack didn't take place those words exactly used by the russian delegate to the o.p.c. w. the the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons he said it was

a sloppily staged chemical attack peter thanks for bringing us up to speed and so you're watching in the what was happening at the hague convention later let's get some more perspective on it from peter ford no former ambassador to syria this new again you watched it like we did a couple of hours ago a lot of witnesses bought forward what do you make of the testimony of their daughter extend to support what russia has been saying all along the or indeed was no chemical attack tell us what you thought about what you saw. well i thought it was very convincing. and the backed up completely the syrian and russian version of what actually happened and the video itself to anyone with an open mind it's clear what's going on. but then. i'm afraid that you know you really need to engage your brain to understand what's

going on the skeptics are not even going to be so all these people are a false will these people will be dragged in they were made to say coerced i suppose you've got to use your brain on this the something else that came in today the o.p.c. w. wanted russia not to go ahead with this today the o.p.c. w. wanted to wait until it had wrapped up its fact finding mission why would they say that why wouldn't they want every bit of information to hand both what they found on the field there and what russia had to say from the witnesses it put together doctors chemical specialists except for. well i know the o.t.c. w. didn't complain about. b.b.c. show alleged testimony from alleged victims in it live. who were making contrary claims through what we've just heard the o.t.c. w. were silent about that it seems to me they have perhaps been listening

a bit too much to washington london and paris and begin to worry a little bit about the impartiality i mean when you've got doctors that purport to be on the ground there witnesses that purport they say they were most definitely there on the say as it happened caught up with it they describe how they were caught up in it was international reaction going to be to this are going to be ignored do you think what she got feeling on it tonight the only help the couple of hours ago of course. yes well it will be. either ignored or attend school be made to downplay it and threw on the mine it in fact these attempts are already on the way but i think when ordinary people see the footage testimony about and to be impressed in fact anybody with half a brain could see that these are credible witnesses but admittedly half

a brain is setting the bar very high for most british parliamentarians and most british political commentators in the media and surely anyone looking on here with an open mind about what may or may not have happened will question the the quickness of the urgency for the u.k. for france and the us to go in and make those strikes why so quickly why couldn't they wait until the results of all these investigations are going on so more testimony have been heard because more doubt over it surely. exactly what the british media are also failing to point out is that it was russia and syria which requested the o.p.c. w. mission they requested it britain america and france and still not to this day confirmed that they wanted the mission to to go ahead and the fact that they bombed .
