the use of chemical weapons but i think more importantly for stopping the war itself by by the best estimates no more than a thousand people have been killed by chemical weapons five hundred thousand people have been killed so that five hundred four hundred ninety nine thousand people have been killed by conventional weapons supplied by russia iran the united states saudi arabia qatar and turkey syria doesn't manufacture weapons the impetus should be to end the war in the use of all weapons conventional and chemical should say that but the syrian government and certainly britain the british backed rebels deny any use of chemical weapons so does the syrian government everyone everyone does deny it and there is evidence we know it's been used we know it's been used on multiple occasions in varying amounts it's. been you know everybody says we didn't do it everybody says the others like it but there has to be a serious investigation a real really serious investigation could be done countrywide once the war is ended

well bred noise as it does one day political says solution and says clearly that it has i mean the critics here is a britain should have been more involved earlier in syria and when you look at the timeline here twenty eleven really made was talking about an interim government in the world in syria britain apparently aware of the libyan insurgency moving into syria the award winning journalist i heard saying that the m i six facilitated weapons to syria from gadhafi in libya what do you think of it that so many journalists indeed there are politicians here in britain seem to suggest that britain hasn't been involved in the war in syria and should have been more involved in the military before we get to the political process. the british the french and the americans have all been involved by proxy they've all been involved in supplying weapons to the opposition groups in syria most of whom are jihadi they've been involved in training them in southeast turkey and in jordan and in facilitating their passage in and out of syria and then there's this is indisputable and many many journalists testified to this fact many of the people

involved in the program in the early days are gone public with what they've done so that i don't think there's any doubt that the that the syrian war has been fuel from outside so how do you think now that there obviously is a political process because russia turkey iran countries that seem not to exist on the radar when you hear some debates arguably busily talking amongst themselves how do you think they will view these airstrikes that we are one of the most suspect words in middle east is process because of the what was called the peace process between israel and palestine which is which was never going anywhere and was never designed to go anywhere it was a way of wasting time i think the so-called peace process in syria is rather similar to the verdict has come on the ground the government is more or less won the war and now there has to be a way to end the war that limits. any punitive measures by the government against its opponents of a future and that allows the rebuilding of the country i don't believe that the peace process is that they're being discussed whether the talks or in geneva or.

have have we're going anywhere we're meant to go or what what is required i believe i could be wrong but i believe is a long conversation between trump and putin over ways to end this and quickly but at the same time we have israel of course bombing syria since indeed the air strikes a couple of weeks ago not only by the absence of any they want over a hundred times and now saying they're reconsidering the sale of us one hundred more advanced resolve defense systems how do you think tel aviv is going to respond to all of this if there is even growing recognition the president has won the war in london paris and washington israel has a problem with hizbollah and iran in the region and secondarily with bashar assad because he's an ally of russia of iran and hezbollah they're the targets that they have bombed in syria have been connected targets including his problem i don't think that they are going they want to confront directly the syrian army or go wage

war in syria because they don't have any reason to remember that that border along the golan heights is radiata by go on hikes and the rest of god's in syria illegal under international law. the bit between the illegally occupied area and the rest of syria that deem a line of demarcation which was said in ninety seven for negotiation with henry kissinger has never been violated the syrians have not allowed one penetration of a guerilla fighter of any kind it's been israel's most secure border from one hundred seventy four not like lebanon or like some some occasional penetration from egypt or jordan it's been pretty secure so these readies you could make the argument how to very good deal with the assad regime both father and son because during this. quote civil war jihadist extremist islamists were rude have been taking over that part of the goal and i it's and they're active in the in the area between daughter and swayed between the sunni areas are on the and the druze areas

away to there there are isis people there are people there who are very active and . israel israeli officials have admitted that they have taken in wounded soldiers that they have assisted those those yachties coming back and forth into israel when they needed treatment so they i think because they are more afraid of iran and hizbollah and i am frankly i would be to. they they are with they're willing to they're willing to provide some degree of succor to the to their enemies ok well we had one we have m.p. for a leg of our show recently talking about a truth and reconciliation committee and so we're going to cause western powers aside from the proxy involvement just as the other powers on the other side would be looking at the reconstruction what did you make of president saying that france should never have a long term role here in syria the outside powers are already seeing a victorious outside and looking to reconstruct france has it france has anything but a glorious role in the history of modern syria remember france occupied syria one

thousand nine hundred twenty and overthrew an indigenous government led by king faisel the emir feisal of mecca and an imposed of a mandate from until nine hundred forty six during which there were many rebellions by all communities including the united rebellion in one thousand nine hundred twenty thought that there was another expelled and that's michael counting himself out of french reconstruction from going to others that also but also because of the french and british and american role in aiding assad's allies he may not want their participation in reconstruction for the russian companies chinese companies indian pakistani i mean i think the countries that were either on his side or were neutral during the war will probably be more active than the ones who are against it unless it becomes part of the can terminate to have a peace agreement which russia could impose upon terms that would benefit the the french or the british the americans if you want to thank you after the break amidst

a deafening silence from the british establishment about u.k. involvement in the saudi bombing of another wedding in yemen we hear from a journalist on the ground about what british. and us made bombs at doing to the poorest country in the middle east plus a review of pm queues recorded before britain's pm expressed full confidence in their own secretary over there with drug scandal go visible coming up about to have going underground. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. a 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. and 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 have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive to do it long before you if you noticed this isn't my cup of tea is going up to study hall mediated you know john no doubt just opened. the only palestinians who gets the most helpful is to roost on counterparts i don't think this is i'm of those who in the world under the oak

vision to know only could give us. and the earth is all of your knowledge to how to this lady of the messiah that you had i don't want you to continue muslims. two more minutes last time priscilla. welcome back as you came neo liberal media arguably attempted ever more coverage to top germy corbin's lifelong commitment to palestine with anti semitism the wind rushed scandal would not go away calling the u.k. labor leader along with his shadow chancellor john mcdonnell and shadow home secretary diane abbott have an unimpeachable record on anti racism unlike the parliamentary labor party when it was run by failed leadership candidates like this one arguably i was not going to raise this with the prime minister waiting for me let me say to the prime minister do not try to hide between behind me all the labor

party when she was warned repeatedly that the damage to her session with a net migration target was doing do not try to hide behind blairite multiple war supporter yvette cooper is on the record for supporting the tories on immigration legislation and we support measures to bring immigration down that's when pre-columbian labor was selling mugs like the money anyway to raise i'm a try to shut out the labor right getting on the wind rush bandwagon a parliamentary labor right that is arguably to the right of tereza may i say the russian ruble now. nobody is trying to blame anybody else some are actually blaming people we need to drive out institutional racism in all its forms wherever it raises that's actually about the anniversary of the racist murder of eighteen year old stephen lawrence in london but no it is a call with appears to a lighted with the wind rush deportation scandal about expelling people of color from britain who have lived here all their lives there's an understandable lack of

trust by the windows generation so can the prime minister today be clear. yeah and confirm that those british citizens who've worked pay taxes here for decades wrongly denied pensions and benefits will be fully compensated corbett has repeatedly attacked me for a celebrated phrase hostile environment on u.k. media in recent days the right honorable gentleman talks about a hostile environment what we're proposing here will i think flushing legal my quince out we are trying to create a much more hostile environment in this country if you are here legally those are not my words they are the words of the right honorable member of the burning of the haulage hill when he was made in a gracious minister. under labor leader oh it's now about this because the right honorable gentleman sits on his front bench yes it's not just blairite labor was

supporting backbenchers who have played the immigration card it's members of german corbin's own cabinet apparently that didn't stop corbin though demanding a resignation the resignation of the human shield protecting the u.k. prime minister who was home secretary around the time of the destruction of vital wind russia gratian documentation the courage to second degree inherited of training policy and made it worse isn't it time she took responsibility and resigned no theresa may try to explain to corbin why if he wants to talk if he wants to talk about issues of fairness if he wants to talk about a government that is kind then let's just look and see what a labor government would be like may said labor would be unkind albeit that kindness was kind of referenced by a recently elected m.p. labor m.p. moments later my constituency me who lives with

a chronic disabling illness has worked all his life until finishing on medical grounds three years ago since two thousand and two he's. disability living allowance last year was transferred transferred to pip and his mobility allowance was caught yesterday on to me hounded by his move. for sixteen years and today he is housebound and fearful for his future. of the system means that he now faces a nine month wait for his appeal to the liverpool tribunals services drazen may said she was sorry to hear it but if for personal independence payments for britain's most vulnerable were accounts of the city bailout there is a way that to raise a may has helped britain money the tragedy is always is the defense industry and the politicians do incredibly well out of. this is my nephew who was injured last

night by the year strike he's two brothers were killed. a clip there from marty's extensive coverage of a british back to strike on a wedding in yemen in the past few days joining me now from yemen's capital sanaa is journalist to say because he thank you so much same for coming again on going underground the british government have said that their hearts go out to the people killed in the strike but will continue to sell of them to saudi arabia and the saudis have told britain that they will carry out an inquiry so are you pleased with that that britain is supporting the yemeni people in the saudis will carry out an inquiry i don't see that but it is supporting yemeni people in any way they support in the saudis and selim bombs to the south of the according to the god then they have like that they have increased the says if weapons five times. for the

saudis to say that we would investigate this is. just imagine had let. i will investigate the holocaust how can you ask someone who have committed the crime to investigate the british heart is not toward yemen the british heart toward a saudi pocket and we see them crying about what's happening in syria what is was a claim about a chemical attack and it wasn't true and they have and they went and they bombed syria and they did all the things they say as they mentioned to protect the syrian people but on the other hand they see evidence of of the weapons used in yemen of their personnel working side by side with the saudis in the operation room bomb in yemen target in yemen given saudi everything all the help block an investigation and this is actually.
