continuity but it also opens up the possibility that perhaps medvedev is after all going to be the designated successor because when putin was asked before the election what would happen after this this mandate that began today he implied that it would be his last mandate he says i'm not going to go on forever and if he's not going to go on forever then of course everyone wants to know who the next president is going to be sure no talk of international politics really today again that might surprise a few people decide it didn't need just to purely look at domestic issues. you know i think that's natural really on a case like this because if course the symbolic inauguration of the new old president is obviously a moment for national celebration it's a national moment and the transmission that you showed on r.t. the live transmission which i imagine russian domestic channels probably carried as well you know put the emphasis very heavily on national symbols the kremlin the the

great wall the great halls of state inside the kremlin the kremlin churches and so on so that's normal but there's no doubt that although it was a beautiful day in moscow as it is here in paris and i think across europe the dark clouds of international affairs are not just gathering they're already there and they've been there for many years and they are almost certain to remain there during the coming six years of putin's current presidency they're not just there but they are getting worse they got worse just before the election and they will probably continue to get worse after it ok john we've been out of time better always nice to see that john rocker and their democracy and cooperation thank you. now the british foreign secretary is making last minute efforts to persuade donald trump to stick to the iran nuclear deal orosz johnson is currently on a two day visit to washington where he'll meet with senior officials in the trumpet

ministration and as he didn't get a chance to speak to the president himself he decided to deliver his thoughts via t.v. johnson gave an interview to fox and friends branded by the media as trump's favorite show the president has been right to call attention to it but you've got to do that without just throwing the baby out with the bathwater without scrapping the whole thing because if you do that you have to answer the question what next meanwhile the german and french foreign ministers have today stated there's no justifiable reason to pull out of the deal r.t. shackling booga takes a closer look now at europe's efforts to sway trumps thinking. terms apparent intention of dropping the iran nuclear deal later this week has sent the international community into overdrive there are now two competing influence campaigns playing out keep it and kill it seemingly testing out the theory third time's a charm the british foreign secretary boris johnson is in washington and a last ditch effort to save the pack from trump's wrath that's after the leaders of

france and germany had no luck whatsoever isn't that we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and you have no agreement. the iran deal is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geo political influence in syria and lebanon. the solid robust verifiable agreement that guarantees that iran is not a nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible. and we should have knowledge of the current agreement doesn't allow us to address all of the issues among the things not covered by the iran nuclear deal is iran's activity in the region of. this by going in with iron resolve both the chrono and

merkel and it up looking like they were just trying to pander to the us leader and although boris is set to meet with terms vice president and his hawkish new national security advisor those two will likely try to browbeat johnson into accepting this is a bad job and doomed deal i don't see that there's any prospect of a real fix to this deal i think the deal is inherently flawed i think it's a strategic buckle for the united states the iran nuclear deal is a disaster and the united states of america will no longer certify this field can see. the only hope france germany and the u. . ok seemed to have is to push for a compromise with trump simply tweaking the existing agreement but perhaps we're not seeing the whole picture here maybe the problem for america actually goes deeper than this one pact we've got a president. a president who doesn't listen to. the people who are

naysayers and a president that is that regime change as we are. meanwhile pushing the white house to abandon the agreement is the israeli prime minister whose country is in the signatory netanyahu just last week gave a pretty dramatic power point presentation on iran's secret nuclear program which turned out to be both not secret and non-existent still b.b. is flying to moscow in the coming days to try and get his message across to president putin the kremlin has been clear on its stance however we are going to support the deal concluded with the previous u.s. administration so with both sides battling it out everything for now is still up in the air this deal took years of exhaustive negotiations to reach and surely none of that included worrying about what the next guy in the white house thought but if one naysayer is all it takes to bring them down maybe it sends the message that all landmark international agreements should be structured to only last for one presidential cycle. ok well we can discuss this further than i with political and

business law and he joins us he's from the iranian tasmin news agency good afternoon. what do you think boris johnson's chances of persuading president trump of perhaps cheney's mind on the iran deal. well thank you for having me and i think it is the. the european leaders they paid a visit to washington to meet american president in order to convince him to stay in iran next. as according to the news us forces they haven't been able to do such a thing so far and i think we. see why the foreign secretary the u.k. to the united states is not an exception to the role and i'm not seeing much of a chance for him to be able to convince the american president in order to remain in the d.l. and i think in many sources or as we can see according to the signals or in the

cases are telling us that the chance of withdrawal from the nuclear deal is higher than remaining in the end so why do you think trump is so down on this deal . ones because that is that has been part of his campaign pledge to exit the nuclear deal because he sees that as the war still ever in history and then the other hand the wire service that the people are surrounding him are those who believe that the deal is not that good and they are hard or anti iran figures like as you can see the national security adviser of the united states now mr bolton on the other hand the secretary of state my campaign they are both anti you ron. and once this comes in the nation with. positions by countries like so the oraibi are or some other parties like israel. that have

been pushing an american president to exit that deal or in fact they have to try to start a campaign in order to nix that the. i think this has been in line with what champ himself. has been doing and on the other hand american president has been the sest with on doing what previous president in the united states has done and because iran nuclear deal is the legacy of the previous president barack obama that's another reason for him to. destroy the nixie of the alighting if he does decide to quit this deal what happens next because there are several countries european countries particularly that want to steal. can have all signed up to it before so what do you think will happen next there's no chance of salvaging it you don't think. you know the point here is warry

about iran's a sponsor of this action and many warn that if the united states exits that the sanctions can. come back and this can. bring a reaction from iranian scientists but i think it will take some time from six months to one year in order to those sanctions come back and they may need relates to ron oil and oil revenue. and i think what iran will do today we saw a comment from iranian president sire that he said that if the other non-u.s. parties meaning the european countries as well as china and russia they can guarantee that even one's expectations of the next are met minus the united states will continue the implementation of the nuclear deal and that was the signal this week with c. from ukraine and president today but he also added that if there is no guarantee

from the u.s. parties meaning russia china and the e.u. . iran the world will make its own decision which i think he meant by its own plan and decision could include resuming its nuclear program that iran has stopped on that in the. ok i look on that point i have to leave it with that was a. political analyst from the iranian named news i can say thank you. and thank you for watching we're going to be back with money seem to. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million. it's

an experience like no one else want to because i want to show what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance with. the base it's going to. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc

and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one difference i speak to now as there are no other takers. to the same that mainstream media has met its maker. and. welcome back i hundreds of interpreters who worked with the british army in afghanistan facing the threat of deportation from the u.k. thus despite a promise to you they would be allowed to stay but we spoke to one of those potentially affected he does say that the only thing awaiting him and afghanistan would be death. if they deport me back there is only one tries for me to be killed

he doesn't know when but the u.k. home office has informed abdul bari that he's going to be deported to kabul within the next three months abdul says he can't go back to afghanistan because he worked as a frontline interpreter for british forces from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten my life is in danger my family and i have some danger they threatening me but they told me that you know that you joined the infidels. you've been talking about there was only one chance for me and i must leave the country. so can talking to the mean time to post from family so if they catch me that they would definitely just leave the country the british defense secretary gavin williamson has made headlines in recent days by telling the home office that afghan interpreters should be allowed to stay in the u.k.

but that reassurance only refers to around four hundred form a interpreters who had been given five year you tavi says they expire soon and all the authorities have done in reality is say that they'll waive the costly renewal fees so those celebrator you headlines don't applied to the six hundred or so former afghan interpreter is still in kabul who have had their asylum claims rejected nor do they applied to the handful of complicated cases relating to former interpreters who were forced to flee and entered the u.k. illegally like abbeville all of us are delighted that those who've had better criteria and their families are here and will stay here and that nobody paid any money there are still people who are being looked at and we need to be careful that we don't let you pull through the dense we have a debt of honor to these people and what we mustn't do is leave someone who actually worked for us looked after. also has helped us we mustn't leave someone

like that in a position where they and their families will be at risk and we've got to be very clear make sure we don't do that abdul says he didn't have time to apply for a visa through the official interpreter scheme while he was still in the capital that required months of waiting and his life placing creasing at risk now abdul's lawyer is appealing the home office's moves to deport him many interpreters got these fish directly from afghanistan through the ministry defense is. very strict criteria that required you to be. working in helmand province and to be made redundant on or off the nineteenth of december twenty twelve a lot of people i missed the. word working in two thousand and twelve because they were threatened and targeted by the taliban hard to quit their jobs and flee it's not really fair to make journey to the you care to escape the stretch to be told

actually go home they're saying it's it's safe for him to read we have evidence from former employees not just from the british army but they also he was working with and be in kabul what he really cared to the originator of. but evidence suggests he was threatened in trouble. and. the same will happen again he will be targeted when it comes to its own citizens the u.k. government clearly warns against travel to almost all of afghanistan even districts in the heavily guarded capital kabul it adds that terrorists are very likely to carry out attacks and methods are evolving and increasing in sophistication but that's apparently safe enough for abdul barry tarrytown as far as the u.k. government is concerned i don't play with a couple who is safe cos i think i'm always the most dangerous place in the world at the moment because every bomb is exploding people are dying and i

don't. the home office is saying the couple is so i first met abbeville a couple of months ago since then his already fragile mental state has worsened the surviving thirty five pounds a week and a very time accommodations i'm are allowed to. so it can do nothing but talk something i have a very bad person so i bring to the g.p. many times and some medicine from them. 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. polyploidy reporting that's the news for the moment more from us in half an. hour when i was sure seemed wrong. last just don't call. me the

world. yet to see palin she still comes out today. and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 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 m p named as the u.s. state department source in the wiki leaks cables we talked to expelled member of the party mark wants to work with forty against racism all his life and from kate

moss story on that we speak to a world famous photographer and director ellen going on with about illuminating working class women all the civil coming up at today'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 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 i mean the people from from porton down the. way have the samples you do and 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 doubt 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 hadn't identified 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 surrogates cripple and the company involved in compiling the christopher steele dossier allegedly kremlin sting 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 that 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 files a warrant. against mr carter page. the das 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 canada trump no one to donald trump as being more suspicious about the scribble case as for carter 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 but those relegation the russian interference here in britain drazen made chancellor phillip have and has ruled out handing back russian money it received ahead of last year's elections we are going underground have not been able to locate either pablum miller o. be all the british agent. nor his daughter the russian citizen yulia script will keep on trying as other espionage in britain an inquiry going to the 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 when 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 germany corbin's labor party you know 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 hundred nine. at the time that been a spree of racist birders of asian people of african caribbean particularly young people have been a rise in 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 are one of those who helped get seven lawrence's grieving parents to meeting with nelson mandela here in london that's why i helped during neville the parents of stephen lawrence set up their campaign for justice and i was able through my contacts with . 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 rush 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 nine hundred eighty eight to help rebuild it after the devastation caused by the war and he died but i'm sure if he were alive to. he would be appalled at the way that 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 the previously been all white it reflected that the parliament of south africa strangely enough perversely enough yeah that was a breakthrough seen by many and arguably people are saying it's more multi-racial 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 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 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 second jenny formby is on record as saying that this plea 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 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 laurence 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 is it that jeremy corcoran who i should say gave one of his key leadership a bit interviews on this show it doesn't go on anymore why you mention a senior.
