7:30 am
i'm are allowed to. so it can do nothing but talk so i have a very bad person so i bring to the many times and some medicine from them but that doesn't work. i'm still struggling i ask him about what he wants to do if and after all this he wants to work he'd read economics at university and kaberle he wouldn't mind resurrecting his professional boxing career either but his talk is tentative working and living here sounds like a dream one that any day now could come crashing down with the arrival of a final deportation letter. in just a few hours of light amir putin will be sworn in as russian president he won the election back in march and ahead of the inauguration r.t. was given special access to the palatial interiors of the kremlin where the
7:31 am
ceremony will be held. this is lattimer putin's stairway to presidency so to speak he will climb these fifty eight steps before he gets to the halls of the palace also the site of the inauguration ceremony. this is the whole of military glory to sing george ended his first hold lattimer putin is said to cost on his path to no curation it is also the biggest hole in the palace with its length be more than sixty metres. the next whole the whole host of single xander being in it right now it is difficult to imagine that for the larger part of the twentieth century none of this
7:32 am
even existed after it had been demolished by soviet leaders only twenty years ago this was brought back to its former glory. it's not all the glitters is gold lace a couldn't be more wrong for this place i mean look at this gilded villas chandelier even this this is the hole where the inauguration ceremony will be taking place latimer will be standing in the far right end of the hole once again in his life the same old thirty three words it will officially start his next tenure as the presidents of russia makers from the from the.
7:33 am
whole ceremony will start in just a few hours and we'll be following it right in the heart of moscow hope you can stay tuned for our special inauguration coverage. paul good of you to share some of your monday with us here at odyssey still to come in the mix of your stories out of the number of homeless people in paris now prompting all thora to use that's a council an annual race through the city a more on that and other stories after the break. seemed wrong when old clothes just don't hold. me. to shape out these days comes to educate and in gaming equals betrayal.
7:34 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. and what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close it's like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should.
7:35 am
it is good to have you with us today and i knew all ten kilometer roads through the french capital won't be held this year apparently due to the high number of homeless people many of the migrants who have been camping out along the road it's a problem many had hoped would have eased over the last year r.t. correspondent reports president michael had pledged that by the beginning of two thousand and eighteen no one would be sleeping rough on the streets of france let alone. yet not only did he fail to deliver on the promise but it's getting worse much worse it's believed that up to one thousand eight hundred migrants have set up camp along the canal in paris and fears that that could explode to around two and a half thousand in the next few weeks has caused the organizers of the great race to graham paris to cancel the annual event.
7:36 am
the ten kilometer race between paris and song to me was to take place in just over a week's time but this is part of where the run is supposed to come through and as you can see it would be virtually impossible for them to navigate this section of the racecourse these makeshift camps are growing day by day the route is impossible it is disturbing to have to run the race in the middle of a refugee camp at last year's race around six and a half thousand people took part it was also adopted as part of paris's bid to host the twenty twenty four olympics embodying a couple of the games key objectives solidarity and ecology this cancellation so
7:37 am
close to race day has disappointed many you know it's kind of unfair or because of improvising for one time and then you just cancel it last minute just. like they should have reworded it down that's what i think so it's two separate problems you just do your race if your do your race and the rider problem is something else i think they should fix that they help them more. you know when you walk in the street you can see them all the people lying on the sidewalks despite pledges to help migrants off the streets the greater paris region currently only has room to shell to seven hundred and fifty individuals far fewer than the numbers already here a number said to be growing in the hundreds each week organizers say they didn't want the camps to be cleared just so that the race could go ahead reluctant to be seen as a tool for social exclusion but safety concerns meant that they couldn't we reach
7:38 am
either. participants have been. a place in next year's event assuming of course there is one. r.t. paris. the fashion world isn't brawled in another racism scandal that's after the cover of vogue italy's sparked widespread criticism or share of the picture there sparked the controversy it features a supermodel gigi did who some say is unrecognizable here on social media the hash tag black face has been trending over the scandal with people pointing out that her did skin hair and facial features were photo shopped and styled to appear darker than they really are. instead of just hiring someone of a different culture they transform a white girl change her skin and even does a make up to make her look more ethnic change hair color etc oh ok this is normal why couldn't choose a black model instead of saying black face honestly so ignorant and disgusting
7:39 am
disappointed in the modeling industry these days if you want to darker skin more l. don't hire one their beautiful dark skin girls so it's there when you see these kind of things happening just like we have the h. and m. campaigns and whatever campaigns they don't realize that if it's. the emotions of people like you got a lot of young black males growing up and they through right they need to change themselves and really has a big effect across the world on a lot of young college girls of all different nationalities and races well there's a lot of very famous models that they could use of color and the situation is is that they were always trying to photoshop somebody to look different but it doesn't and it doesn't honks actually takes away and i think come a happens in hollywood also with movies when you have movies that are based in egypt and they used to say is that of a sort of egyptian act as i just think that's yeah has
7:40 am
a very bad representation what is happening is does a gray area on the think the boundaries of the gray are is being pushed and pushed and pushed and they just time that the question is art is this race is this something happens again is this racism is a constant c. of gray here we are pushing between what could be racism and what could it be racism and now it's like why oh why is people complaining why are people who. moan in every five minutes about something that may not be racism g.g. how did and have both apologized saying the photo wasn't meant to offend anyone but the magazine explained that it was trying to create a breach look with a stylized bronzing effect. we spoke to a political commentator and radio host steve malzberg he believes there's nothing wrong with the photo and that this scandal is all a fuss over nothing i hear you have a beautiful blue eyed blonde model one of the top models in the world and they put
7:41 am
some bronze on her and they photoshop the picture now she looks i mean you could say she looks black or african-american she looks bronze to me but this is a whole big issue now where people take offense and they call it cultural appropriation in other words you're stealing their culture so it's really at hand and we have to get over this in our society or it's going to do a very very much harm so i see nothing wrong with the shoot i think people are too sensitive and i think it's getting out of hand political correctness is getting out of hand. it's been revealed that the u.s. national security agency collected over five hundred million phone records of american citizens last year that his more than tripled the number of twenty sixteen and that's despite a new law limiting the spy agencies powers the u.s. freedom act bans the bulk collection of phone records and internet metter data
7:42 am
whilst also limiting government data collection to waters quote reasonably practical it does however permit the gathering of phone and text logs when a link to terrorist activities is proven the recent increase in records collected comes in contrast to the concerns expressed last year by president donald trump. i think that is a very big surveillance of our citizens i think it's a very big topic and it's a topic that should be number one and we should find out what the hell is going on in its mission statement of the n.s.a. upholds our commitment to protecting the privacy rights of american citizens it also highlights the need for accountability when pursuing intelligence gathering the n.s.a.'s recent doctrines of raise concern among privacy advocates don believes that the spy agency has done little to scale back its spying operations even after being exposed by whistleblower edward snowden what was revealed by edward snowden
7:43 am
the mass surveillance that he uncovered and exposed. my guess is it never stopped happening and that it's continuing to today and i you know most americans who are self-aware should assume that they're being monitored most of the time the u.s. government said or about national security rarely have anything to do with the security of you know ordinary citizens like myself and everything to do with the security of corporations to make a lot of profit. i think you know it begs the question as to whether we're being monitored in order to stifle political dissent and i think. that is what i believe this is about and i think it's of of great concern in a country that claims to be a democracy and claims to be free thanks for sharing a monday with us here at r.t. international still lots of stories to come your way though at the top of the hour
7:44 am
. highlands was as political ties. in disdain said standing stock poor now. because of the fire of the adult number one the focus to be on the wall street ballpark so please tell me it was a little while ago start this with us out of the i'm going to say go get out of the open but see. you do so you call me up close to a strike i'm going to use christi paul to go you know they go for opening for our
7:45 am
gulf news so. let's slow. the call course possible to not back at us delta the target. ok when she sees who you fall in the routine. and if you become missing. in time for venting. i'm after tense here we're going underground as delegates of the united nations framework convention on climate change meet in germany to address prospects for all mageddon coming up in the show why is jeremy coleman's labor party listening to an
7:46 am
m p named as the u.s. state department source in the wiki leaks cable we talked to expelled a member of the party marc wants to work with sports against racism all his life and from kate moss story on that we feed the world famous photographer and director and i'm going on with about illuminating working class women all the civil coming up a day's going underground but first the largest country on earth russia in order a to flatter me a putin for another term as its president that's russia are accused of using chemical weapons against people living here in britain. our case for russian culpability is clear no other country has a combination of the capability the intent and the motive to carry out such an act so what has happened since gay and newly ascript all literally disappeared from public view up to such unproven allegations u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson unlike u.k. home secretary on the road there's not resigned for misleading the public
7:47 am
a story covered even on mainstream media twentieth of march boris johnson gave an interview to a german t.v. station and his answer was pretty clear that's mean the people from from porton down the he. may have the samples do they and they they they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no dot and then then two days later on the twenty second of march the foreign office appeared to back up his claim and tweeted that analysis reporter dan made it clear that it was a military great number chopped nerve agent produced in russia yesterday the head of portadown revealed they happened to identify the source of the poison and then this morning the tweet was deleted by the foreign office maybe what amber rudd did wrong when she resigned after misleading the british people about deportation targets and the windrush scandal was that she didn't tweet the information before deleting it what is also disturbing some is alleged links between the british agent surrogate's cripple and the company involved in compiling the christopher steel
7:48 am
dossier allegedly kremlin stealing on donald trump when visiting the ritz carlton in moscow amidst the media furor over the script of the barclay brothers telegraph announced a security consultant who has worked for the company but compiled the controversial dossier on donald trump was close to the russian double agent poisoned last weekend it has been claimed the consultant to the telegraph is declining to identify lived close to colonel script file and is understood to have known him for some time c.n.n. meanwhile reported russian claims that first set. the british embassy in estonia problem miller was the m i six agent who became surrogates cripple's handler and pablo miller o.b.e. who the telegraph seems to have declined to identify also seems to have disappeared miller though worked for christopher steele and who is this mysterious man here is us senator lindsey graham of south carolina the far as a warrant. against mr karner page. the das yeah
7:49 am
that was used by the court provided by the f.b.i. was compiled by a foreign agent mr cursor per steele who was on the payroll g.p.s. who is being paid by the democratic national committee in the clinton campaign to do opposition research against candidate trump no wonder donald trump has been more suspicious about the script of case that's because of page here he is on this show denying allegations by the f.b.i. based on were just a script i wrote a letter you know just clarifying that basically everything that was said about me is is incorrect since then the u.s. congress is house freedom caucus has drafted articles of impeachment against deputy u.s. attorney general rod rosenstein over the handling off surveillance of her page because relegation the russian interference here in britain drazen made chancellor philip hammond has ruled out handing back russian money it received ahead of last year's
7:50 am
elections we are going underground of not being able to locate either pablum in their own be all the british agents. nor his daughter the russian citizen yulia script will keep on trying as other espionage in britain an inquiry going to be rolls on into the alleged bugging by the u.k. security services of men and women fighting for the environment for workers' rights and against racism one of those allegedly targeted is our next guest mark what is worth in the past few days was kicked out of jeremy corbin's labor party for bringing it into disrepute he joins me now marc welcome to going underground let's just before we get to how you were kicked out of jeremy corbin's labor party and with that huge saga remind the people watching who may have only seen you on mainstream media to because of the korban situation about who you are and tell me about the anti racist alliance that you were part of and how it came to in a way draw off the racial harassment and racial violence laws of this country when i founded the un two aces to lunch in one thousand nine. we want at the time the
7:51 am
been a spree of racist birders of asian people of african caribbean particularly young people have been a rising fascism the british national party had set up a nazi bunker which they claim puts a bookshop in welly and then stephen lawrence was murdered in one nine hundred ninety three so this was the largest black lead and two races movement in europe and it was broad based it had political parties supporting it faith groups black individuals jewish non jewish it was huge and in the past few days people have been commemorating the racist murder of stephen lawrence i understand you were one of those who helped get to see even lawrence's grieving parents are meeting with nelson mandela here in london that's why i help doreen neville the parents of stephen lawrence set up their campaign for justice and i was able through my
7:52 am
contacts with exxon's from the african national congress in london to set up a meeting with nelson mandela who famously. decried the fact that a black life was a cheap in britain as in south africa and then of course the whole campaign lifted off and became massive as a result of that intervention i have to ask you this given you've attacked the policies of home secretaries over the decades we've seen the end of amber rudder what was your take on the wind rushed scandal my father was on the wind rush he was a an aria volunteer from jamaica he paid his own passage to come to this country in one thousand nine hundred four to fight against fascism returned to jamaica in one nine hundred forty six and then came back to this country in one thousand forty eight to help rebuild it after the devastation caused by the war and he died but i'm sure if he were alive. to day he would be appalled at the way that
7:53 am
this whole issue has been handled he would call out the conservative government for its racism he would equally be outraged at the way his son's been treated how far does your friendship with jeremy corbyn go back jeremy for more than thirty years before he was an m.p. he was elected in one thousand nine hundred three i remember him as a trade union official who worked side by side with bernie grant who became an m.p. four years later bernie was a part of the black sections campaign of labor party which i led between one thousand nine hundred sixty nine hundred eighty eight and i'm pleased i was able to play a part in the selection and election of the four black impedes in one thousand nine hundred seven that historic breakthrough that gave us black representation in parliament previously been all white it reflected that the parliament of south africa strangely enough perversely enough yeah there was a breakthrough seen by many and arguably people are saying it's more multi-racial
7:54 am
today what did you feel like though and i know this politics of yours goes beyond identity it goes also class what did you personally feel when jeremy corbin was elected leader of the labor party well i left the labor party in opposition to it supporting the invasion of iraq and i came back in when germany was elected leader tonight in two thousand and fifteen i thought it was very important that old comrades and cohesive is like myself came in to support this project this very exciting project of having a socialist leader for the first time in labor's history leading the party someone had a long record on fighting racism being an internationalist being against war supporting social justice all the things that have meant so much to me in my political life. you've been found to have brought the labor party into disrepute and this is all
7:55 am
kicked off i understand. because of an m.p. roots sunni the who is named as a u.s. state department informant in a wiki leaks cable what does that make you feel like well disgusted that there will be this huge miscarriage of justice and i have to say i've been overwhelmed by the huge amount of public support a poll of thousands of people that went ninety four percent against my expulsion but how do you think the procedures are in the labor party that could mean that you bring the party into disrepute there is video footage of you what do you think of that footage now well first of all i'd like to say that our new general secretary formby is on record as saying that this pliny re process by which i was effectively tried is unfit for purpose so i asked the question of the party why did they proceed with the two day hearing that ultimately found me guilty and a senior m.p. said that the process was perverse it was pre-determined so that already made up
7:56 am
their mind this panel before i even appeared before it my legal team won all the arguments it was very disturbing actually that the party couldn't come up with a definition of anti semitism they couldn't work out what the party had adopted as its definition and had to call an adjournment at one point during the hearing to take legal advice and that's deeply disturbing because you know and zionism is i've been fighting under semitism all my life i've been an anti racist all my life i've stood shoulder to shoulder with jewish comrades you know you might say on the front line against the fascist eighteen on the isle of dogs when tara beacon was elected b.m.p. council in the early one nine hundred ninety s. i worked with so i haven't lawrence on the board of deputies of british jews to craft a racial harassment bill saw the law change twice on the issue of harris mint and violence making them criminal offenses for the first time so why isn't. jeremy
7:57 am
corcoran who i should say gave one of his key leadership a big interviews on this show it doesn't go on anymore why you mention a senior labor m.p. who backs you or seem to cast doubt on the process why is he so silent about you well i've been very pleased that i have had the backing of senior m.p.'s chris williamson keith vallas clive lewis is this personal where is this a german testimonies to the hearing i'm told that jeremy what he is under siege from huge forces in society one hundred seven two hundred seventy two of his own m.p.'s signed a motion of no confidence and that's the vast majority of the parliamentary labor party that is still filled with blairites that will never accept his leadership arguably you in germany coburn and john mcdonnell were under siege for decades before these two are now. you know on the cusp of power why are they so silent
7:58 am
where they feel i think that they've got their hands tied that they needed to be seen to let you process take its course and they'd hope for a positive outcome but that's not what's happened and so i think that it's an opportunity now for the labor leadership and politicians to step up to the plate and make sure that this miscarriage of justice is put right because that's what the overwhelming majority of the public are demanding every spoken to german go into an advert or drama going now that i'm not my plate since it is about should come talk you may need to people who are organizing the fight back including a national speaking tour that will begin this week people are saying to me that this is really the crunch point that if they can expel someone like me then no one is safe and possibly jackie walker's next ken livingstone and that doesn't speak very well for a party that is founded on the principles of fly. for social justice is supposed to
7:59 am
be the premiere party for social justice in this country and i think that it's got a lot to demonstrate now in terms of proving that can you see any sense in the strategy of trying to keep on an even keel and allowing what some of argued is near mccarthyism in the party just to coast slowly to power in this country in case the right wing media jump on a corbin labor party that said we welcome aguado look i'm going to be very blunt my supporters are saying that you don't win this bitter battle for the soul of the labor party to keep it socialist antiwar and to racist anti black racism anti islamophobia by a piece meant for capitulation blackwater thank you after the break naomi campbell david bowie and kate moss just some of the subjects of one of the greatest photographers in the world ellen what i'm worth you run away from the circus to
