clinton from agents in london it suggests to me that you gave the us government that backs israel information about former labor prime minister gordon brown's election plans labor's prospect of parliamentary candidate for borough roots me strictly protect told us april twentieth that brown had intended to announce the elections on may the twelfth strictly protect presumably means that agents here in london don't want anyone to know who they have met with the labor m.p. the m.p. that has lately been attacking her leader we contacted roots means office but they told us no comment and meanwhile just to be impartial here is a tory literally at home with israel iran sixty one are we. to conquer the moon roof threatens threatens the worst threatens the world netanyahu currently the subject of corruption investigations in which he protested innocence meanwhile is suspected of ordering air strikes on syria in the past seventy two hours causing explosions that reportedly measured two on the richter

scale. well one thing we don't hear in the u.k. which bomb syria with millions of pounds over the missiles in the past few days is that double the number of people who have been killed in syria's war have been killed in the same period in europe how allegedly by air pollution joining me now from the w.h.o. headquarters in geneva switzerland is dr marion nera she is the director of the department of public health and environment at the world health organization maria thanks so much for joining us your report has nine out of ten people on earth breathing and with a high level of pollutants that means both of us presumably are breathing in the high level of pollutants and i'm probably more like you don't you because saddens me but that is yes we are both breathing air that the sept twenty ninth risk our health depending where you. you will have

a higher risk already lower as well but still and the effects of breathing in high level pollutants you draw extrapolations with the ideas of dying of cancer and heart disease well this is the point is doubly chill is so much interested on air pollution is because this is dramatically affecting human health and there are reasons why when you brief these polluted air i mean those fine particles that are you are breathing they will go very deep in your lungs and then going to your cardiovascular system representing a huge mortality seven million deaths seven million deaths occurring every year due to exposure to air pollution this is this is it our strong heart disease is. struck if chronic commentary this is including our smart and lung cancer and of course pneumonia and children so i think it's dramatic enough for us to take in a scale up of this program and raise awareness about this huge public health challenge we are in front of us i want to get to europe in

a second but this figure you just mentioned seven million twenty thousand people have died between sunrise and sunset today how on earth do you arrive at such a figure well we don't want to be apocalyptic and then in paralyzing people with this terrific figures what we want is people to realize that measures can be taken there are interventions that have proved that out of very very effective and if you take those interventions and you reduce air pollution the health we've been proven almost immediately so this is the very positive part so all of these laird is coming with good solutions and interventions to reduce the said pollution and therefore immediately see the benefits for human health but you know that in say your the biggest car companies like vox of are going to be done for forging air quality testing how can we trust our political leaders who are sometimes being lobbied by these guard companies little in the car companies themselves more we know about these problems. or we know about these figures more we know that their

pollution is affecting our health more the population will be putting pressure in the politicians the right pressures that they need to put on the car producers as well i think the solution will come for from a more sustainable transport people want to commute so give us good solutions and then the car companies will be able to produce good solutions for these more sustainable not pollute and any species and there will be a big market for that in our politicians are starting to feel that pressure particularly may years because there are the ones that are very much responsible for their health for the people in their little town or the big down in those solutions related to traffic but not only traffic transit and traffic is part of the problem but there are there is there is the missions the type of fuels we are using the type of energy that as a country we are investing on it how much we are moving on these new virtual energy agency asian in those countries who we'd be doing that there are the ones that it would be gaining from economic point of view from the human health point of view in

the reduction of the cost of that we are paying at the moment so why do you think given your report is saying two hundred eight fowler's of those deaths a year in europe over seven years is double the death toll of the syrian civil war that infrastructural spending that you've just been talking about c. was not to be prioritised compared to say bombing syria at the moment. i mean this is a. difficult question but if we look at the public health the basis of public health it would make a lot of sense to invest on reducing risks for our health that at the same time are promoting a more sustainable development in a normal life and look at their richest countries look at the scandinavians they have reached they are going into a sustainable development you know the same time they are protecting health so you do not destroy the environment and pay the price in our lands it's possible.

obviously if you look at the geopolitics i think i will agree that we need to prioritize a little bit better the way we are doing now certainly but critics of this kind of reporter i say maybe scott pruitt of the u.s. environmental protection agency may ask you why is it the life expectancy has actually been rising as pollution levels have been rising in the country. well you see first you have to part of. their life expectancy in might be reducing in the next year so the next generation may not have to the same life expectancy as our generation is harbin so that that will be reduced for different ways factors but they're finitely air pollution is one of them and second i think is the cost i mean why do i need to pay an in and be permanently with a bronchitis or having asthma very often or been a spitter lice because i have a chronic respect authority this is or that vella been twenty years from now or lankans and i think those are the questions that our population is asking today and

there is no controversy there is very clear that this is happening and this is very clear as well that we don't want to live in a place where you can't breathe i think its citizens in china and in the mean the air is starting to demand that very clearly and i think it's a very logical amanda i mean we need to have access to safe water food and clean air to breathe every day there is no discussion around that i think he's a question of magnitude you can challenge as much as you want it figures but when you look at the magnitude of the problem there is no discussion yes china doesn't want any petrol cars on the streets and relative research in india similarly your report focuses on and mexico city is the two lagging behind on pollution in the air levels no i think it is fair to say that e.u. has done not very good process advances by. in the last years and in fact you were

up in north america sees the ones where we are seeing most i mean the best results hole where because we have reach countries because we have to technologies there is no excuses that we need to keep going down on those figures and making sure that we promote more measures and there are different pieces that needs to off of this equation that needs to be addressed is about the diffuse we use is about those type of action that we have is about all we recycle hold we manage our waste hole we do transport hole we invest on that and hope we use that at the house or level as well sources of energy that sometimes in the european countries the issue of the house in the heating use is still a nice two and a challenge that we need to address as well if forces are there and i think it's a question of keeping the political pressure in will and doing even more come on you're not blaming households are you the people of the world should we bring

themselves to be or be blaming political strategies of their governments. but we're not blaming anyone we are trying to engage everyone and if we want to engage we need to address all the pieces of the problem including that one why not. it depends in the in which places they will represent a big proportion and a smaller one definitely not playing around a wall there are three billion people three billion people who are still you know heating or cooling or light and in their houses with very polluting fields they listing we will do is to blame the not the country they need to have access to clean sources of fuels they need to have electricity or they need to have at least something clean as source of mother and sustainable energy that they can use for for the basic functions in this is not happening at the speed that we would like to see i hope that these sustainable development goals the number seven which is about access to clean sources of energy will help us on and by using this argument of

whole much air pollution is killing people will help us to do to increase the speed at which of these sustainable development goal will be implemented. thank you often the brick has from stripes to sell tens of billions of dollars more worth of weapons to australia today we talked to the director of western from showing jason ruff to poulos about depicting post twenty eight working class hora. i'm from the headlines the war that washington can't win in afghanistan and the wall that israel should installs with iran only a symbol coming up about two of going underground. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the infantry shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. price perceives news and so if you have a fake crisis you end up with a fake news sell here when you have manipulation of markets and there if you have if you have interest rates at zero and you can borrow money and zero percent you have an unlimited credit line and you can muscle prices around it well that creates fake prices and then if you have robots report against a crisis on the financial media for stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake crisis driven by the fake news created by robots and you have a virtual or

a not so virtual cycle of fake news and fake prices and then that people interpret that as reality. the new global economic will resume full. olding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access educational loan higher education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you could also. follow the economy. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i am extremely more higher education the new global economic war. welcome back well to do some of this week's headlines as a broadcaster and former british member of parliament lembit opaque that it no

politics there are elections tomorrow no that no bellatrix at all but with no ballot or nothing i'm not able to promote democracy you can make a move to demote turn out that's go before we go to the actual headline we're not very impressed by the israeli prime minister netanyahu giving their presentation about how iran is obviously in contravention of the iran nuclear deal and despite being the victim of a corruption scandal allegations he seemed to have some pretty well let me summarize his entire presentation i think that iran is planning further nuclear project because i said so and everyone goes where's the extra evidence because it's a secret i wasn't overly persuaded by that let's go to the let's talk about that in fact that iran and israel draw closer to war than ever that c.n.n. the american out that reporting that time warner and it's a serious situation there's been a sort of proxy war between iran and israel fought out really primarily in lebanon

and also in syria it's getting a lot hotter it looks like israel has killed seven at least seven. iranian military personnel recently in maybe a second strike even more recently now the ranter nice that anyone was killed in that the bottom line here is that israel looks like it's been aggressive towards iran iran had an incursion with a drone it's got shot down israel's last minute she jat if this gets any hotter then this could be really serious trouble for the whole region so far donald trump doesn't made any decisions of the time of this recording in fairness donald trump this week has said he's not against negotiation he wants change now i don't know what that means but it sounds a little bit different to the intransigent position is take until now so maybe it's not quite as bad as it seems that alone is national security advisor john bolton's position it's the instability on the american side which makes netanyahu is

behavior towards iran so dangerous let's go do that terrible event that happened on monday the guardian in response to that terrible attack this is a hot war and it continues the guardian reports the u.s. and afghanistan can't win the war can't stop it can't leave now you may remember that donald trump said let me get his words right he is having a fight to win strategy it's not working women this strategy isn't working because we interviewed the former president karzai on this program who said seem to allege u.s. collusion with the islamists the do seem to be suggesting are the opponents of the united states well if you think about how many on this program if you think about the islamist terror of terrorist activities as a victory for america then i'm wrong let's tear up the rule of the know there's no doubt that is not a victory for the united states oh as i said earlier saying we don't even have to

go that back to the dean when the u.s. was supporting what would become i said this is and this is only in your right to raise it because that's not forget where this all came from and. and it is worth repeating that america was delighted with the mayhem caused in afghanistan when the russians were occupying there once they allegedly won this war they just left afghanistan out to dry and the old tribal rivalries and resentment towards america which had no rebuilding strategy whatsoever has now come back you know the policy obviously do deny that parliamentary elections though on july the seventh they'll be british troops british boots on the ground in afghanistan the british public a bigger point here is there will be american troops there for the indefinite future after trump saying we're just going to win and leave it looks like there's no way out and that's what this headline is all about because some of the fighting in

afghanistan to learn across the middle east concerns this next story courtesy of the bureau of journalism yes this is quite a remarkable but perhaps not a surprising story really the bureau of investigative journalism reports executive who over sore black ops in iraq hired for anti qatar attack bureau reveal we haven't been able to independently verify the story i should think that's true but i'd love to do that let's think about the the value of the original operating as it goes through their lives hundred million dollars are spent in this black ops campaign where fake videos are created which were meant to be for example videos and then they used those videos to track people who are watching them this is sophisticated stuff in and more than that looking surprised. and sort of this is all then used to attack the nation of kotor know that what's happened is the same

man his name charles i think is the way to say it he is now being employed to suggest that qatar is involved in terrorism there's no doubt at all that he is a trusted. former member of the pentagon by the individuals who employed such folks for black ops hundreds of thousands of people have actually viewed this series and i've heard these stories emanating before i even realized where they were coming from the suggestion that it was an association between teen qatar and terrorism so you could argue this is working this is the black ops we know about we didn't know about the black ops during the iraq war so how much more it's been targeted at qatar and what's the what's the endpoint what's the mission here that's gone to that other regional power struggle that up until a few weeks ago was threatening the very fate of the earth itself great news for the world not so good news for the american armaments industry fortune report

here's who isn't winning from denuclearization talks and friend in north korea south korea isn't winning we're all going to be alive and here merican military industrial complex isn't winning their shares have gone down down down since this all rich enough to have shares in military defense companies you still want to be alive and not be destroyed by a nuclear war but the fact is who is the military establishment was going up quite markedly up as the risk of a confrontation was regarded as becoming very serious and that's when all that saber rattling was happening between north korea and washington now we've seen what i thought was really inspiring meeting where both the north and south korean leaders seemed genuinely committed to some kind of a process more but that's but if you're selling weapons because you don't need weapons if there's going to be peace it's quite interesting that some political analysts and some economic analysts say don't worry don't worry it's not as bad as you think we're still going to need weapons for war too early and we have to be too

cautious to say that double trouble when the noble peace prize well i think this is where we have to recognize and you're not going to like me for saying this action it did happen under times what i've always supported. oh you know if you want to cut me off that video big doldrum supporter thank you know politics. well while britain's three hundred billion dollar upgrade to its trident submarine program continues to be controversial french president macro hort on the heels of his bizarre visit to washington last week is in australia today just under water weapon systems but there's australia debates the fifty billion dollar bill for submarines the working class is opposed to a gradual strayer continued just suffer in a new film from award winning jason ruff to pools looks at a microcosm of their austerity the director of west of sunshine joins me now jason welcome to going on the grounds are part of the twenty eight catalyst crisis warts inspired you to make west of sunshine. of being a avoid being fascinated with

con of the stories of our forefathers and how that can become a bit of a mythology to have. lvalue and unique lives and so when i was about to become a father. i knew what was kind of coming consciously but i know if i was kind of prepared psychologically started to do a bit a meditation on the whole notion of fatherhood and i think the birth of the or the seed of the film started there and you were watching film think your compulsive gambler in death of. all the other it is presumably a lot and it isn't every leigh autobiographical no it was really about exploring what. things of love and and connection i really wanted to make sure that the film really addressed and explored what love is and in essence what the thing of the film is is that love is an action in spite of what you feel. sorrow using

the father son connor tribe and construct i want to convict explore that idea where i have a character who is on resolved and psychologically has a broken relationship. these are in father and see how that can affect the relationship with the son and whether or not he will be able to learn how to conduct come to terms with that past and able to be present albeit that we have a father hugely affected reg straightness circumstances and acting with his actual real life stepson in the film and putting that stepson through quite some ordeal as he tries to. financially navigate his life yet i mean causing the stepson. was kind of a fortunate thing i want to i want to because i'm not actor and i was saying x. is along the y. and it was until damian played the laid suggests that he's steps in the yeah i mean you know that economists tweaked an interest in me and i thought this could be

really great or could be really bad having seen it i think you certainly pull it off a lot of the hollywood press corps and being on your love of the new realism and to see tell me how bicycle thieves was an influence it was no. i need they don't want to to have the city become a character in the film you know it was basically using the city as a an overarching kind of oppressive structure in a sense like you know the shyness of the buildings and stick a common juxtapose against con of the psychological state of the character and sorry by wanting to have the city be a character you basically from a i went back in time i thought on i thought what part of cinema has use that con a tribe in a sense and side you know of course not about telling me a real ism and i just started from there i started watching the bod to save as the bicycle thief and. debt and your projection is correct yes so there's what pulls them through this will yeah and it's inspired by those qana films you know.

which is this conti's film and and rocco and his brothers all these beautiful telling films that really set. a set in that part of world where the characters live and so i want to the straw for that sensible thing to city so yes it's i mean some would say that's pretty politicized i mean obviously it's going to only associate with a communist party of italy new religion itself the screenwriter in bicycle these members the communist party how does how does politics italian go in this but these principles feed into the blight of your character all acts of in some way political what i loved about those films were that. they used i think the city as a way of showing us to look at the way that these characters are living i mean from a some of the opening shots of the film are about the con of the oppressive structure of the of the city in which they live because this is melbourne yet

talking about recent years we know that the. batsman is the guy who founded. horrific accounts of what he did to the. aboriginal people there any kind of element there of understanding of the genocide against aboriginals the city's conda live wrought on the edge of what is con of harsh terrain in the strata and sometimes you get a sense that this they cities could disappear if they just left the line for fifty years that's how harsh the terrain he's in terms of the people that lived in there what i really wanted to explore was how. this city is really con of impinging on the psychology of of of these characters i mean. i love melbourne and it's a city that's been voted you know livable and all those things but there is an undercurrent and there's a hardness about that and there's a price to that that is really kind of talked about in the air because of the plight of your protagonist with the whole of australia nickel we did because of

course there's a bank bailout of one hundred twenty billion dollars in australia to your banks in twenty zero eight which presumably is the the area which you were just breathing yeah i mean when i when i wrote the screenplay i was i was very conscious about creating kind of the three lives of teasers of it so the kind of the overarching structural. the structural oppression which is kind of like the city and and capitalism in a sense the maser level which is kind of the organizational he's gambling and he's now you know he's kind of work life and then the interpersonal khana of problems that he has between himself and his son and he's our own problems that he has with his father. it's a tough city to live in it's a big city and it's not as glamorous and it's not as con of you know. idealized as what you might think it is you know there's a lot of people that are on hard to live in melbourne and there's a lot of hard to live in the big cities in australia because it's

a process of place to live and that has direct ramifications this need for consumption this needful kind of continual growth has. mental health and kind of other social effects and sorry i don't want to push that down anyone's throat but that's part of the overarching con of the idea of the film it's part of the subtext of just very briefly without giving away the ending we have to be necessarily vague about it would you say in some senses the guy is all redeemed by the end of the yeah it's hopeful it's hopeful and well he he has learnt something he has learnt something that hopefully will change the course of his loss and you know the lesson that he learned is the story of the film and so yeah i would say that story jason rafter pulis thank you and that's it for the show will be back on saturday for a full show special with legendary journalist and filmmaker john pilger jill then you can get it that's right social media we'll see on saturday two hundred yesterday of the birth of calm looks within
