the u.s. is the planet's economic policeman except one way domination with no respect for international rules obviously europe's response must clearly be. on friday the european commission launched a process aimed at preventing you from being hit by u.s. sanctions under those plans european companies will be able to get compensation and even loans if they were affected besides financial measures diplomatic efforts are also in place in the energy commission and now in tehran on his first official visit to the country since pulled out of the accord artists i think shevardnadze as discuss the latest developments with going to the hogan former vice president of the european commission. because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business the american policy of taking hostage other nations and companies has to be it has to be partnership it is obvious.

but the ship between the united states the european union is entering a new new age it's it's not like it was in the past. and more or less the americans or to your peons shared the same values. it is to europeans accepted that americans have to do the ship and the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished. i. later on monday the italian president plans to meet the leaders of the left leaning five star movement the right wing northern league party to discuss the

formation of a new coalition government while the poll finds most italians back the largely anti e.u. program agreed on by the parties. masses do something about immigration because it's a mess and i like the color plan of course who want lower taxes especially for business sense so it's really going to be harder than immigration but we need to solve this problem with a more moderate route but i'm worried about how five star and league are going to make good on these promises it will be difficult because the powers the strong woman. a new prime minister may also be put forward on monday the coalition's expected to nominate a law professor just because he's a relative unknown in political and public life described by the italian media as being a classic technocrat down hawkins explains how to bitterly rival parties have ended up working together. italy's on the brink of forming its coalition government with the parties presenting their blueprint on the country's future to the president but

this is no ordinary political deal should it go ahead italy will be the only western european country and the e.u. founding member governed by populist euro skeptics this is got europe pretty worried italy first is the political slogan of those about to lead the country. we've told this to everyone even on the european level and from now on only italians come first now the northern league and five star movement have certainly had their differences in fact until recently there was no love lost between the two parties taking italy by storm fortunately for them the proverb the enemy of my enemy is my friend holds very much true with brussels firmly centered as their bad boy. the choice the italian people have made is a step towards freedom for the whole of europe away from constraints and insecurity we want to rebuild europe based on people not bureaucracy we want to be listened to

otherwise all these sectors and industries that are suffering from injustice because of european treaties and directives will have to be reimbursed they share a dislike for conventional establishment elitist politics they both want change in the country's relationship with the european union and their policies on tax cuts debt reduction and immigration report them directly at loggerheads with other european heavyweights they're also both settle scrapping sanctions on russia this approach though has won them a historic election and continues to prove popular with the italian public now so far cards are being kept close to chests it's not clear who the nominee for prime minister will be both party leaders have ruled themselves up one thing is for certain though the next steps of the coalition at italy's helm and it starts towards brussels will hold even more intrigue than the election but brought them to power obviously. that would be something really. especially for

a country with such a long song you're. so sure it's actually. something years on the books. to the success of the band and. there's a lot of. sentiments that's out of iraq. with the big. but it was still part of your. team and. former u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has attended a graduation ceremony at yale university she followed tradition as well by wearing an unconventional hat. a russian i was i mean i can't believe i'm trying out.

how i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim call me flatter on october twenty eighth and russian wiki leaks i inherited nothing from the democratic party pretty mean nothing i mean it was bankrupt it was on the verge of in calvin areas still a very large proportion of the population that is uneasy with women in positions of leadership. political and social commentator mansoul joins me on the line now good afternoon to you being unfair here it looks to me a bit like hillary clinton just can't drop it she called let it go she still blaming russia for defeat. i think there are people who. hillary has real trouble letting it go and i think my concern is some of the things that hillary's

raised the idea that the democratic party was more or less bankrupt having seen and i bomb a presidency for so long and a phenomenally popular president by the way with public poll ratings being very successful or he was being stifled in passing legislation this just shows how frail hillary is i think she gave a speech to the democratic women leadership convention i think a couple of days ago in washington and more or less admitted she just can't let it go and i think i think it's worrying because the u.s. needs a strong opposition right now and hillary clinton really isn't a. book it's called what happened clinton mentioned more than fifty reasons for why she lost among them as far as i'm aware not one explaining something she did wrong shouldn't a good leader have that ability to you know reflect point out where they went wrong because if she did everything perfectly as it implies surely she would have won.

you know neal i think the problem is that the clintons for the longest period in america that is the power couple. have managed everything very very carefully very very sculpted i think one of the things that a lot of people who live overseas outside of the state realize because we get a certain perspective we get a certain view of hillary and the clintons and the democrats generally is that she is phenomenally viscerally primarily on popular in america bernie sanders i think garnered something like more than. more of the youth vote then clinton and trump put together though trump got more useful. than hillary i think. started very very well they've both fallen away from politics or hillary does not acknowledge that she was the weakest part of the democratic campaign even through the election cycle during the debates in the caucuses she did appallingly

she polled poorly people do not like her and one of the things we see is hillary has a weird glint in her eye she does these crazy outbursts i think we sort when she was in congo in two thousand and nine when somebody asked her about her husband's trade policies with china and congolese government or something and she literally lost it and over and over again we saw these weird kind of cackling hyena like after and then putting out the shank a just just now i mean over and over again she shows that really she's not fit she has a very polarizing effect on american politics the democratic party right now is soul searching it's good they've put in place keith ellison is a phenomenal representative but the democratic party has lost its soul in america and without having somebody some giant figurehead like queen. queen of american politics talk shows i don't think we really see any great change right now and i think it's likely that trump will the will forge ahead in the next election

ok so that's what we've got time for pretty shape so you come in and speaking to is political social commentator mo and so my guest. just a social break and i will crackle in a moment. when the whole make its manufacture come sentenced him to the public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal. to leave the room the real news is. going to walk off selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the

chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that stole. the new socks credit tell you that celebrity gossip the public by file for the most important news today . mother talked about her cousin tell me you are not cool enough to buy their products. things are the hawks that we along with all the walking. the official inquiry into the ground for tower fire has begun in london with seventy two seconds of silence to mark each victim of last june's tragedy the two week hearing will give relatives a chance to speak about the victims but not everybody has managed to make it to the inquiry our correspondent outside the hearing. joins me on the line ali just

takes through what's been happening the police. well look the focus of this inquiry is to establish what caused what's bred that's how a block fire that took place now almost a year ago was in june twenty seventh seed and seventy two people lost their lives in that blaze so the public hearings kicked off today especially in the building behind me and they kicked off in the most emotional possible way there was a very moving account from a man who lived on the twenty first floor of the grand felt and his wife was seven months pregnant at the time of the blaze and although he and his wife and their two daughters managed to escape from the tower during the fire his wife went into labor later on that night and sadly she gave birth to a boy that they had already named logan but he was stillborn take a listen to that man's account of the tragic night.

she's made of the hardest. it was for sure the coach will be. so heart wrenching stories from victims of the tragedies and those harrowing human accounts are expected to take up the two weeks of the inquiry taking place but compounding some of the family's grief is the fact that some of the relatives of the victims of this fire haven't been given visas to come here in time for the beginning of what's taking place one moroccan man named. who lost his sister in the fire he applied for a visa to come to the inquiry in december. he said he was crushed after having to

wait for months for it to be processed and he wasn't sure whether he'd be able to attend this very important inquiry a tall now the home office have said that the visa had been issued on wednesday and that all these are applications are looked in on a case by case basis so he is finally getting his visa but he's missing most of the first week as a result of these delays by the time that you arrives it will be at least three days in to the inquiry and the opposition labor party says that's not good enough and that the government is continuing to fail the victims of the grand tragedy take a listen grandchild families have to look behind even to get a partial panel although tourism and said she would leave no stone unturned in this inquiry she also promised victims would not suffer irrespective of their immigration status but is now fully in the family and wants more. so if the scandal

surrounding the fire hasn't really died down. the carcass of the building itself is still up it's become a bit of a symbol of government. housing inequality here in the u.k. and ultimately there are still questions about whether somebody. needs to go to prison for what happened last june the public inquiry is going to be aiming to answer those questions but it's going to take a while public inquiries tend to be very slow moving and this one is no expect exception it's except it's expected to continue until twenty twenty or even beyond that it's. the latest on the developments coming out of the grand tragedy thank you . with the twenty six thousand campaign already being investigated from so many angles or more aspects now in the crosshairs the u.s.

department of justice announced that it will probe whether the campaign was in appropriately infiltrated by the f.b.i. and this follows the president's request on twitter of course where he asked to look at whether the obama administration a direct to the bureau to snoop on him for political purposes similar allegations warnings made before and it's an allegation that was slammed in the media when he made it as far as. being i guess by you know this past administration at least we have something in common where is the proof that anyone here disagree he was. the arctic where did trump get these ideas where is he getting his information the intelligence committee has not seen evidence of this is occurred what the president charged president obama with wiretapping him it's not true there was no. this time some american media are still skeptical about the president's claims they

did out an f.b.i. mole within his campaign the suspected informant is stephan he's a seventy three year old professor from cambridge university in the u.k. a u.s. citizen with longstanding links to american and british intelligence and he served in three republican administrations he was reportedly parts of a one thousand nine hundred high profile spying operation he was working for ronald reagan's campaign it was said infiltrating president jimmy carter's administration . well earlier the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. didn't deny media allegations that there was actually a mole in the campaign but they did quibble about the language they used the word informant as opposed to spy and they refused to name him they said for security reasons political commentator steve walz berg says that such spying is a worrying sign for democracy. if the obama administration played a role in putting a spy you could call them informant i'll choose by inside the presidential campaign

of the opposition party i mean you know this is this is huge they say bigger than watergate this just wipes watergate and pushes war to get right off the map can you imagine what this means for our democracy and reportedly steffen help were not only met with george papadopoulos morning him paid for a trip for him to come to london and then end up but that was didn't know who this guy was basically and then when he got there and he was meeting with them said so you know all about the hacking of the russian events right but he also tried to to get the cochairman of the truck campaign to list him hire him as a foreign policy adviser so he was trying to get inside the campaign right there for all to see never of course telling him he's investigating anything so to me that's a spy center these updates coming your way in just half an hour's time see that.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only move really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful ready. to sit down and talk.

time after time here we're going underground as venezuela these stabilized first centuries by washington unveils results that will decide the fate of the bolivarian revolution coming up in the show ahead of u.k. defense secretary gavin williamson's nato war committees are more a we investigating reported the defacto nato backed conflict displacement all around the world and even if tereza may adopts a defacto jeremy corbett visit on the customs union what will brics it mean for ireland westminster's newest m.p. all the begley of shin fein gives her first international interview to this program on the heels of a meeting with britain's recently appointed secretary of state for northern ireland karen bradley plus for the other side of the story we talked to sammy wilson shadow breaks it spokesperson of the new p.c. that keep strays a main power in britain all the civil war coming up in today's going underground but first today the un security council debates libya seven years since britain

bombed the country and destroyed all hinge of civic society in what was africa's richest capita country in two thousand and eleven an international coalition and booted the us france and great britain to military action in libya later that year mortgage after it was ousted from power until british prime minister theresa may supported the war and then leader on saturday british forces went into action over libya the first british cruise missiles were fired from h.m.s. triumph at seven pm subsequently r.a.f. tornadoes were deployed in several missions because plane just see there for some of water then home secretary would do in power this year for tornado falls no. storm shadow missiles at a military facility some fifteen miles west of homes but what of libya now that syria is instead being bombed by british armed israel well jerry corbin doesn't

mention it much now though he did during britain's destruction of the country and coalition forces britain france and the nato forces said it was a no fly zone in reality it has been the bombing of infrastructure targets as well as military targets throughout libya and there's been considerable bombing going on in tripoli itself and what we've done is involved ourselves in a civil war between the sensational government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for a very long time and get incredibly nasty practical and their human rights abuses been reported on both sides including the treatment of african people by the transitional government as well as the treatment for opposition people by the government of market basket yes the treatment of african people since the british bombed libya a man addressing an unseen. big strong voice for fun one for four hundred. seven hundred. eight hundred number zero eight these men are sold for

twelve hundred little pounds four hundred dollars apiece. you are watching an option of human beings yes the voting of britain's prime minister tourism may not only help create the largest refugee crisis is the second world war not only help catalyze isis diagonal the mediterranean but turn back the clock in africa's richest country to one like when britain used to trade in slaves tourism a supported that war which the u.k. parliaments foreign affairs select committee would judge is symptomatic of failures in british leadership intelligence and bureaucracy the consequences of our actions certainly have been catastrophic well as catastrophic numbers of civilians are forced from their homes due to the factor u.k. back home. ect i'm now joined by the director of the internal displacement monitoring and exam dr bill or whose new global report on internal displacement is out now under welcome do going on to graduate tell me about your report which

clears eighty thousand people were displaced by conflict or disaster each day in twenty seven yes indeed our report shows that there were thirty point six million new internal displacements across the world by conflict violence and disasters and it's true that the conflict figures in particular are quite alarming the highest numbers that we've recorded in over a decade with eleven point eight million new displacements by conflicts most of these displacements have been caused by ongoing violence and high levels of violence actually in attacks against civilians in syria iraq and the democratic republic of congo and now for syria and iraq the high levels of new displacements were actually linked to government offensive in certain cities like mosul in iraq or in syria to retake areas that had been controlled by by previously so that led to repeated displacement of people who had already been displaced

previously so we're looking at people i.d.p.'s internally displaced people who became displaced again throughout two thousand and seventeen and in fact we've got even reports of people families who have had to flee up to twenty five times over the course of the last few years of conflict in syria syria iraq given in libya britain is involved in obviously britain bombed syria britain bombed iraq britain bombed libya and britain is arming the saudi go addition against yemen when you research as a working on these reports do you see these correlations well i mean it's obvious that a lot of conflicts across the world are complex mix of national and international factors you know that that will determine the levels of severity of the conflicts and the amount of time during which we are reporting these high levels of the. basement yemen actually didn't have we weren't able to report good numbers there's insufficient data right now in yemen that's largely due to the fact that there's not enough access on the ground so our data collection our data providers are not

able to access many of these extremely vulnerable populations so even though yemen's the figures for yemen are relatively low compared to syria and iraq and other countries in sub-saharan africa it doesn't mean that the situation there on the ground has improved and in fact we're emphasizing this points to make sure that yemen still gets the international attention that it deserves which it which is very much lacking well the british government is certainly very heavily involved if we go to syria and the report clearly states and i quote directly from it that russia turkey and iran the deal they struck in a stalin or on syria could greatly improve the lives of a large number of people. in the corporate mainstream media we don't hear about the astronomer agreement we hear about other agreements involving major powers why is the astronomer agreement important in alleviating the displacement in the number one country in europe but i think it's important to consider that all peace

building efforts are necessary right now to at least stabilize the situation in syria we're talking we're talking about a number of people now possibly considering returning to their areas of origin whether it were the syrian refugees or syrian i.d.p.'s themselves and in order for those returns to be sustainable for them not to lead to more displacement in the future there needs to be a minimum level of security and stability and we concerned that if returns happen without that degree of security. they will they could lead to further further destabilize the british government complains of interference from russia and iran usually in syria if we move onto another country here what is be going on in congress recently. the situation has become worse it intensified already in two thousand sixteen when conflict new conflict erupted between local militias in the

province of congo that was a new development and it was very difficult to respond to that humanity what became a humanitarian crisis because it had been largely. humanitarian agencies had been largely absent from that region up until then now the conflicts or the political tensions that of the continued throughout the year have also led to renewed armed attacks throughout the eastern provinces of north kivu and south keyboard all the way down to tank so there is where we're looking at a very dynamic situation very volatile where people are having to flee often just like in syria on a repeated basis they're fleeing their homes they're moving from one place to another simply to escape the imminent dangers by these armed groups you know you have to be dispassionate the ngo but the pentagon and the cia have poured weapons since the ninety nine years into congo to paramilitary groups using them as a base with rwanda and uganda now as to attack neighboring countries and within it

jus not feel that some of that funding from washington has contributed to what you just explained a gong but i think that just like in many conflicts across the world there are of course a number of international factors at play but i think right now many observers would agree that the crisis that's unfolding the humanitarian crisis that's unfolding in the east is very much a congolese crisis is the reticence in your report about displacement because of your funding from usa the australian government the european commission all of which are involved in major wars in the countries you know our main objective is to advocate for better responses for national governments to also take their responsibilities in dealing with this issue at the national level that's a particular relevance when we look at this. i asked a related displacement where we have positive examples of national governments developing because of all of. it and i know because in the report you advocate

countries themselves playing a leading role in solutions with the international community but in congo as is known very well president kabila is pivoting to china. does that mean the head because he is for a country like run by mr kabila and the international community is the brics community not. i think not is a traditional international the recommendations that we're making in the report about national governments taking more responsibility in addressing this issue is very much directed at governments that are in a more stable position right now it's true that a country like the d.l.c. or syria that's still in the throes of conflict it's hard to put that forward as a as a realistic recommendation at this point in time but there are other countries for example in sub-saharan africa like nigeria accenture the.
