got together and said enough was enough and set up operation trident as a partnership with the police to tackle the disproportionate fits of gun crime on essentially on black communities so what we sought to do was create a step change and enabled the police to build a better relationship with the black community based on trust and confidence rather than based on the what they were doing at that at that time which was what they called yardie crime and indeed importing criminals from overseas in order to help them solve what was largely a particular problem affecting men the violence you see in guns to protect a crack cocaine industry for scotland imported criminals rubes whose yes they did in the sense of what they call what they called police informants what we would call quinnell informants essentially they had a better relationship with people overseas than they did with the black community in britain move talking about the mid one nine hundred ninety s.

to the early noughties and in fact it wasn't until the stephen lawrence inquiry that we then have a better relationship with the police whereby they were prepared to listen and indeed set up a dedicated duty is focused on tackling the disproportionate effect of gun crimes on black community and then of course we were dealing with men of violence who were using guns to protect a crack cocaine industry the term gangs did not emerge anywhere in terms of trying to until around the twenty twelve there was mutant of this notion of karin's in and around two thousand and seven when the police tried to explain why there was an increase in the spate of the young people who were being gunned down on our streets there was a period of time a particular time where it was akin to a succession of young people in two thousand and seven and then we challenge the use of the term gangs at that point because gangs of course you know the police have a particular definition all. criminality when it when it applies to go and it wasn't

until twenty twelve that the police wanted to introduce what they called it gangs maîtresse to try to understand what was going on with young people and the rise in crime in particular and input and also they wanted to link that to what happened in terms of i suppose what they did and what we called the london riots what is your. matrix what the gang make is a said was introduced by the police in what is one hundred twelve well my understanding is their method of trying to understand what is happening with the increased involvement of young people carry knives and be prepared to use in this so divorced from the communities in which they believe that they have to create a system a computer or a system to understand their own rewards i don't think it's a data system is such that whenever they come in contact with a young person godliness of what that person is about whether they've committed

a crime or not they then decide that that young person the. red zone is a very tragic situation really a number of fatalities this year but are you seriously saying if they come into contact with them and then the traffic loads it's a flawed system and what what what they should have done was built on actually the lessons learned from them which is about boudin trust and confidence with the very community that you're seeking to work with so their problem at the time in twenty twelve was the increase in young people caught up in violent acts and what they should have done is built a relationship with young people not label young people as gangs applying the term gangs which would tell its own criminal definitions to young people in making them sound like they're they're all good nice groups of people who are perpetrating a particular crime for a particular end game was actually the wrong emphasis is the wrong analysis and didn't get to the root cause of what is going on. young people it was more to do

with the lack of resources going over historic times austerity and the lights the decimation of the youth service defamation after school provision this is made to this image in jobs in the ability to get on in life decimation in the in the lack of opportunities that young people have instead of looking at the indicators of in terms of the social indicators the effect in young people lack of support in terms of mental health and the inability really for this government to really address some of those problems in communities and also ensuring that the local authorities and other parties have the resources necessary to provide the multi-agency support to young people now what trident did back in the one nine hundred ninety s. was say the police have a lack of relations with the black community we need to rebuild that relationship in order to solve this particular pin it's just quite. to say that what the police didn't learn was how you build trust and confidence with young people in order to

gather the intelligence in order to stop and prevent crime from occurring in the first place and this and certainly they were the vast. range of public sector would lead were let down and led up the wrong alley with the police. of the use of gangs which meant that the government set up a whole fund in a round gangs the only piece of funding in town was gangs work out of the home office and all of a sudden a range of people said that they were in that garden experts went after this funding and what we have in twenty eighty now is the outcome of all of that investment all of that work which is simply nothing we have to pay the banks of into a new age and if there is a referendum on austerity as your leader calls it any want to give a newspaper or watching a t.v. journalist country would see you failed in london the people who obviously didn't like your going to policies because you didn't succeed to the local council.

actions in the past few days well the look i mean i i don't i don't recognise that narrative i think that that is the wrong way to come up this i think the reality is that labor actually increased and the government's own the share a vote that they gained at the snap it's not general elections last year which had been the best result so now the narrative to get out there that that was the case but i can i have a look at the figure i course it would mean a parliamentary election would be in labor would have not joined it and where there's a why does everyone i think you failed i can't account for how the mainstream media operate but clearly they're not operate on the basis of fact the fact reality is that labor has advance on its share of the votes since last year snap election has ever taken councils that we've never had before like plymouth and so one has made increases in areas that you need to win to win a general election south to swindon milton keynes south summit these cold valley these are a.b.s. we made significant gains what i think the media has done is put

a focus on on on on local authorities that we've never in the past had won a top westminster and so what and expect to do is to win those to your shadow chancellor and the semitism in your party has caused in your votes without a doubt the focus that there has been on semitism in the party and the focus in a portion in that very clearly to lay people as how did that make in effect in some parts of our electorate i mean particularly in parts where there was significant jewish focus on and you said it isn't was your focus on what's been alleged in your mccarthyism we had more chords with lifelong and you racist campaign on this you're saying jeremy corbin's labor party is becoming a new mccarthy a party he was kinder than that he said that there's a siege germy gorgon at the moment by his parliamentary labor party but what exactly is going on in your body you're an inertial executive ready. the party has

grown immensely we have six hundred thousand members the law it doesn't mean that they were allowed to livingston jacket and grab wards was the largest party in western europe we have tracked people from a broad spectrum that reflects society the problem with anti semitism like racism is it is in society it hasn't gone away and therefore it is right that the party looks such itself with regards to anybody or you know more boards with i mean he we went in stephen lawrence he was immensely important the campaign that got racial harassment was in this country between series you think he could bring the party more into disrepute and tony blair getting credit in what with with the tremendous work that he's done over many years in terms of the movement one at the same time cannot deny that the party has to address issues of anti semitism issues of race is there he's clearly already seen where it is even when you've got the the powers of the mainstream media working together with big business working together with the

political elite they can in a sense demonize individuals in this way but can i just finish very briefly vent on the fact that thousands were refused the ability to vote at the local elections what do you make of these idea checks that conservatives are rolling out i think it's quite entirely wrong and discriminatory to really happen and i hope that it's not something that's going to be widespread misleading the nuclear actions already across the country we've seen how well it works the system that we have in place we've seen people come out and vote no clear lections up and down this country and in every is liked across the country we've seen people exercise their right to vote this is not about increasing the id checks it's not about increasing the percentage numbers of people who come up to vote this is about i mean the barrier to ensure that people actually don't exercise their right to democracy and i think that that's one quarter of thank you. after the break what was it like being obama's

minister went to raise him a ran it we speak to norman baker about whether it should be the british prime minister who should have resigned in the past few days know that secretary had to rub on from the news the weapons which all ones to watch in russia i'm used to lifting the bit of the white helmets goal isn't all coming up but to have going underground. max keiser financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm the troika and here please i'm greece banks of the fight wall street pot thank you for helping. destroy that's right. that's slavery.

war in remembrance today marks the seventy third anniversary of victory in europe over fascism this is one of the most important dates on the russian calendar that can't be said of the europeans and americans we discussed how that conflict continues to impact pushes view of the world to this day.

welcome back joining me now to go through some of the stories is broke out of all the liberal democrat member of parliament lim bit who pick lembit we should all be wearing these st georges ribbons to commemorate the tens of millions who died for our freedom to be able to even have a discussion like this in london given the russian war effort against the nazis but according to c.n.n. your first story the russians now want to kill us both why you're so anti russian action let's look at this look at the story c.n.n. russia's victory day parade weapons to watch what this is about whether they are our friends or not they are well armed they got new supersonic fighters they've got . aircraft north island cers or the russians say well what do you say that it's a bird side to say this is the military in the united states and russia wait wait a minute maybe it's a fact do they have anywhere but i'm telling you they've got a missile which goes at ten times the speed of sound can avoid being detected can

go round missile batteries and so on now they've got new tanks they've got surface of missiles why are you looking so skeptical why is it so hard for you to believe in our c.n.n. which is believing the russians which is just this is just different government sources your the skeptic here i have no doubt that russia has the capability to do this remember they are the only nation on earth who are currently providing human transportation to the international space station it's not that hard to believe this our defense sector gavin williamson was a ceramic tableware salesman but i think he knows a lot more about plate and plate being used as weapons than any of any of this anyway let's go to the murdoch times and show the united states in any war where iran probably would be involved where the european union russia or china would be against the united states with iran presumably but anyway want to know for balance i expected to be as negative about this as you were about the russian story the times reports u s revise second fleet to block kremlin's atlantic operations now

this is the others. side of the see saw the second fleet was dismantled or decommissioned seven years ago it had ninety thousand personnel something like one hundred thirty ships that peacenik a bomb or a game arguably but there's no doubt that trumps behind this one he's getting the second fleet going to keep the russians in there bought a ming at russia threatening russia not necessarily threatening they are patrolling the north atlantic in case those north eruptions get a little bit ambitious i don't matt is that the senate appropriations committee today do you think he'll get money for this when they're closing libraries and schools and infrastructure in the united states without a doubt they're opening the headquarters i think in july certainly during the summer well gavin williams we don't only have him let's see the morning star of the great cabinet minister who did seem to appear to threaten to resign over breck's it in the past twenty four hours but here he is kind of failing in a mission we are of course talking about boris johnson the political giant from the

u.k. the morningstar reports johnson's effort to appeal to trump on fox news is too silly for words it looks like boris johnson concerned apparently about america walking away from the iran nuclear deal went on to fox television to give trump a piece of his mind i've been on fox and friends to say it is it worthwhile program to be on maybe so but he didn't listen to you either did he and he's certainly not going to listen to boris on fox television this article goes on to say shouldn't have been on fox and friends it seems to imply he should have been talking to the israelis or really control policy u.s. policy in that area more tragedy expected on friday in gaza perhaps boris johnson should have gone to was jerusalem there isn't it the new u.s. embassy capitol in jerusalem which kind of ties up to your next story let's go to this from gulf news in dubai yes this is the big story coming out of israel right now gulf news reports lebanon equals hezbollah after polls says israeli minister now the israeli minister in question is very junior one taliban. it's who has said

that hizbollah and as far as he's concerned the lebanon is the same thing so he's going to visible a swept in southern lebanon the elections on sunday they're doing better than ever as winner is going to become one of the major players and they have hizbollah to they have gained political support in a democratic election i would point out that m.p.'s have i think there is a terrorist organization according to the british well that's. right with britain in syria it is confusing isn't it and i guess i did states but what's more confusing is that israel wants to conflate a place with a movement now i think this is one of the great frustrations i've got people mix up religion with israel there's a certain symmetry to this which is way wrong you cannot simply equal a place with a political movement although israel invaded lebanon time and time again and has been invading syria yeah and this is in my view

a precursor to more military action it's an excuse for what they can to do middle east middle east i should just say you know on twitter james the missouri or at least someone claiming to be him the founder of the white helmets of all british soldier has been tweeting a whole bunch at the moment about this but we have no real confirmation let's go to this story is shrouded in mystery middle east i reports u.s. freezes funding for serious white helmets that's as of the sultan rip widely reported and no actual confirmation certainly britain has been supporting the british taxpayer we're talking about tens of millions up to two hundred billion dollars in this i was looking through the story there's no clear explanation why this is happening because of all speculations the white helmets have been accused of some very sharp practice in the past i have to stress this allegedly it's alleged they want an oscar at the hollywood awards and then the world over for his own will about them didn't set

a very high bar in terms of cinema talk the talk of free but. as a political judgment we don't know why the freeze is going on here perhaps the white helmets and i being investigated by some of their allies would be the first time when our lives become either enemies or persona non-grata them in every thank you. well for geopolitical power plays to music and working for tourism a before we play a track from his new album staying blue i'm joined by recording artist and former u.k. home office minister norman begun on thanks for coming back on the show so tell me about the new album solo album i don't know with your broken of the band the band still growing we're playing next month and see if it is a matter of fact and you saw six but no i want to do something different i want to try and break away from the same old i've had with the previous two albums with the band this is me a chance to have a lot of different cements on trumpet accordion violin all sorts of different instruments and a bit more focus more blues but more jazz but you can just lazy music journalism

that immediately there was a track called shipping for us going to play at the end people are going to saying you're influenced by blue more than other. by the shipping forecast which is a great british and i love the shipping forecast is a certain poetry to it if you're the around the world is a completely useless minutes on. a day by day to radio which is being overtaken by g.p.s. i would have again it's there and it tells you whether it's what it was a large home or how strong the wind is no everything else about areas from britain divided up by geographical areas with wonderful dames like north south it's so euro and so on and listen to it when you're trying to go to sleep at night it's actually quite poetic so this is a kind of him to the shipping forecast i have to say agree to a certain extent but if tolerance and even acceptance is part of englishness and this album with titles like shipping for the war english why did you make of this.

when drug scandal that led to the resignation of trays of his own secretary the lib dems moderates it believe it or not is called out of hand so you are in the you in the home office when i was in the home office after she started a hostile environment but that it was indiscriminate the objective was to stop many people as possible coming into the country and to get rid of as many people as possible out of the country unless they have even if they had the right to stay it seems actually would have the lines right people people with lots of money were allowed in the country so it was immoral in my view is based on money rather than on right to be here and because the moderation targets were difficult to meet because the e.u. migration couldn't be controlled the tories had to target the number of days some were shining you can't control that it was a right that amber read resigned she had to in the end not because of what she inherited because of the hostile environment and when budget problems were for to reason may she's the one responsible but amber rudd failed to get a handle on it going to grip on it she said not to read her papers she's done aware

of what targets are being set by the home office and which weren't being set so she had to resign i think for mismanagement rather than for malevolence which is what the accused the reason male i mean there were targets for the number of people to be deported there were targets for how many people would be arrested well this is ludicrous i mean what are the police do or the immigration people do we have a lot of people arrested this week like the rest some more that's got that's what the round up the usual suspects you know the sort of the country should work but then there was an overload of leaking is this story mounted because it was drazen may express a full confidence in the home secretary and borrowed before she resigned as this is what as they always do things the civil service why have they been leaking against the home office they are not a happy bunch they were going to be a bunch when you were that well the home office civil servants were under the cosh they were directed what to do by the special advisers nick timothy and his colleagues working for the reason may they really believe little independence which is a demand is gone you know and of course there was none pleasant place to work or what

are called our civil servants. in their opinion on something they were astonished i want to believe that opinion that wasn't the way the home office works so and then start to blame the civil service well i mean ultimately the politicians have to take the blame and the civil service would like that and i suppose the least sort of consequence a bit rich for the labor party to be talking about this issue is only corbin jimmy goldman drama going all day and three of the labor m.p.'s voted against a twenty fourteen immigration bill if it could be all these people voted for it really a party was nothing to be proud of in this regard and they mishandled it during the brown and blair governments but they are part of a desperate not to be seen to be quote soft on crime and therefore what they did was become even more extreme than the conservative party so if you look at their votes not just on immigration issues but on a whole range of matters to do with civil liberties or knife crime to the right of tourism in may and i find in government looking for allies who are going to adopt a moderate approach they work in the labor party they were actually some of the tory benches the labor party was way off to the white including for example on

drugs issues worked with bottom line portfolio similarly if you want to find a party to cut the health service they're part of a cut the health service could get away with it because they're perceived to be the friends of the health service the tories can't touch the health service showing the curious position that there was on the right can actually do matters which are would follow policies which damage right wing causes known to the left that would damage left because of the not the other way round when you said a case of rational evidence based policy being in short supply. would you say to raise i'm a wasn't interested in evidence he was running the department that you work for as if she was less interest of evidence and she should have been you have to understand that the tory party to be in particular were led by the daily mail what do you feel wanted was for the conservatives to live in the home office you have to believe me i mean this is a paper that was in her in her office on her desk that's what happened all the time her special advisers would speak to daily mail and see what they want to do with

reason may still doubt the. one thing's certain about the daily mail and other newspapers is that anyone who questions why the ministry of defense is david kelly died is considered a conspiracy case you've written a book on it is again in the news because of another book on it you still think there are unanswered questions yet he was the u.n. weapons inspector and he had severe doubts about the fact that the government was using intelligence in a way that was designed to produce political advantage in other words he was checking out the door to dodgy dossier in two thousand and three just it was a case of weapons of mass destruction with saddam hussein when there were no such weapons and david kelly had doubts about that so i don't of course he was found dead in suspicious circumstances in the wooden box which are by the way fifteen years on has been no one questions about death which is a appalling indictment of how this all the pages will eventually be released but on the other hand you are in favor of the establishment of you over the script palls the disappearance i should say now so again scripts while we've been trying to get

hold of them no one can you believe that this is an order from moscow we need more facts of course no definitively what happened but what i would say is that you know if you want to assassinate someone whether you are the british they or the russian state or somebody else or just a member the public really you can do so by very easy means which is you know by. refraining from say we're not condoning any of that but but the point is to use this particular method and it does seem to it's a particular chemical which is quite rare in russian origin suggests that there was a signature attached to this either so if you're seeing this russian in a. particular method of assassination who seem to be that somebody wants to make a point you should not make it as a station no make a thank you but before we play a clip from his new song shipping forecast we'll be back on saturday with analysis of today's pm q argument as well as award winning filmmaker and author of the world at war taylor downing about his new book on how close the world was to ending on

ninth of november one thousand nine hundred three until then you can give it to. so that's why social media was he was at a thirty seven years on the day of the death of the most wanted man in northern ireland france is he a terrorist or freedom fighter depending on which side you're on. the only. thing. i like this. season. is. deep seated. i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really.

world war two cures the depression cars to higher states of concern prosperity of course from store. for the for us the whole world what it what and. historical rewrite ever since world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush. the soviet all me out just a swath of. world war two has been the story credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler.

ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation in the us but mike was hoping when the board doesn't implement the muslim god of this is going to come to the. woods as the fee that he got into the sea it's a must also bribe them proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under a cyber threat and not only that something's off message and put more formidable self instill a sense of ease in selling the solstice will one of them will fall into almost like the old miss you all do. with your feelings and all this is the assholes that. don't miss the old vision stopping them also still owns

a fund is up and his cards on the. united states has always had a tool to use and it's tax on other countries. economics a shoes are are often just a beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country ull. believe have a responsibility for the hate. and we need to make rules for the us to. those without us there would be chaos.

add ons and a sea of people who sweeps through most. of the emotional regiment month remembering relatives who died fighting in the great. well the big. motional event perhaps on the calendar in this country is making moscow cheer and cry at the same time in just a moment i'll be back with more from the mortal regiment bartsch where the people are carrying the portraits of their relatives who've won world war two for us and the whole man.
