4:00 pm
because of all of that. and i know because in the report you advocate countries themselves playing a leading role in solutions with the international community but they are 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 conflicts 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 that have want to take
4:01 pm
ownership over this problem and they want to of course they acknowledge that they need extra help from the international community but they want to address the issue of internal displacement as an integral part of their national development plans for example to try and find longer term solutions so there are positive examples out there and we'd like to build on those positive examples as a model for the future because we could do an interview with the about each country that would really libya which is one of the top five in terms of new displacement and twenty seventeen the british government i was proud to bomb libya. believed it was doing this for freedom what is a failure in terms of conflict displacement numbers in europe well libya actually you mention libya alongside syria iraq big because you were looking at the middle east actually libya has a relatively lower number of new displacement globally as compared to other countries so why are people being displaced from libya is because of british policy . know it's not directly because of british policy just
4:02 pm
a number of. violent events in libya i would have to check exactly which ones of the people to be disposed very uncomfortable being the head of this institution when that when it comes from the state department as i say each one of the countries that are named it is nato nations that are deeply entrenched and involved in campaigns or so so their critics would say destabilization campaigns using covert militants all mandate is to report on the scale of internal displacement in countries to try and understand the patterns to try and give us a sense of how these situations are going to evolve over time so that we can give the right kinds of tools to governments to policymakers to international agencies to to better respond or role is not to carry out geo political analyses of. conflicts across the world even though of course we recognize the direct link
4:03 pm
between that and displacement but that's not what our mandate covers. thank you after the break has to raise or may signal the referendum on a united ireland. is a maze de facto coalition about the imminent consequences of. the streets of the british army or the irish republican army all the people going overboard you have going underground. survival. if you're going to start with. each other you don't get. back to.
4:04 pm
this or repatriation with the rest of seventy or. so of the. guys are part. welcome back this wednesday will mark twenty years since the people of the island of ireland voted on a referendum that approved the good friday agreement which brought on an arguably fragile peace but will there no be a referendum on a united ireland because the good friday agreement triggers an automatic vote if it appears likely a majority and also to vote to leave the u.k. and tourism a has reportedly been in doubt about a majority voting to remain in the u.k. joining me now is the newly elected soon for a member of parliament from west to rome all of begley all i think for going on leave program just before we get to the united ireland it is forty four years this week or this month since the dubliner more than massacres what was the significance of that three hundred four thirty four dead or injured well it was all follow us tragic it was the biggest loss of life the families are still to this very day sick
4:05 pm
and justice they're sick and justice for all those who were killed in the massacre and it's about it's about time that the legacy and class happened with the great them in the starting place agreement which was four years ago we need the legacy magnussen to be up and run and we need to have legacy in class and we have at the leader stop an instant held by a court of law to be on lawful and stopping the funding for that is in question we need all that up and running why does invading think that the government hasn't released papers relating to legacy issues like double bombing well that's a national for the british government we have calls for them time and time again with calls for information to be released at the same sect they have something to hate it seems like there may be a cover up by the british government but their legacy is not going to since need to be there they need to be explored so that all these issues can come to the fore that well nothing's happening at stormont in the northern ireland assembly the british prime minister drizzle me as we talking about legacy issues are saying that
4:06 pm
she wants no sacha to limitations and no amnesty for u.k. soldiers involved. in crowe's we're going to be talking to the dhubri in a moment to keep. our his prime minister they oppose that would soon we would agree with that position but here are the words of praise that may last week the words of the british secretary of state that was very offensive for the families it was a fountain for the families to map with carm bradley and i put a two year that she should withdraw those comments or she should apologize to the families which she has offended for which government the comments that were made in the house of commons regarding the legacy were garden misrepresentation. legacy and class been in favor of those been prosecuted be an armed forces rather than being on both sides which was completely misleading there's no doubt that tory government have prioritized their own self interests with the d u p over the interest of the people of north continue to do so by not calling the british irish
4:07 pm
intergovernmental conference and they seem to do so with bribes at all so it's about time the british government stepped up to the markets that put the interest of the people of the north before their own self-interest with their pact with the d.p. even windstream corporate media seems very aware of the brics the referendum is going to impact on the good friday agreement what do you think of reports the tourism has been saying that the referendum will you know. go the frames way if it were if it happened given that the good friday agreement says it is possible. well look if we had a referendum and if they wanted to we would automatically. and i think that's very appealing for people to live in an ireland more and more people are endorsing the inspiration of irish another there's no doubt that breaks it has helped there's no doubt that breaks it has opened up the constitutional debate around our land and there's no doubt that more people are endorsing an affection of irish and i we were
4:08 pm
. part of what machinations are the british government to use and to gauge public opinion as to whether a border pool should be called. it was an it on the able to clarify about what first this isn't the first time that should be able to clear a verse you didn't just rule it out but she was on able to clarify what she's using to gauge public opinion as to whether unity referendum should be called in famous for inaccuracy recently what is your vain think would happen if there was a virtual united i lived in but obviously want to united ireland i'm a republican i'm an ass less and i don't apologize for that obviously i want a united ireland to all this nation and have campaigned for a united ireland and it's aimed at the people in the north and protect her and i accept limon want to want to be part of a united ireland and that's the best interest for all the people off the island of ireland to be part of a united ireland so what would it mean a hard border because the irish the short you saying that the u.k. may crash early you completely because
4:09 pm
a really divided cabinet and downing street that would presumably mean a whole board but the top the tory government are all over the place where they don't have what they don't have a solution for the people off the north it seems to be the case that when after the referendum as regards to perhaps it was on call and that the people often are forgotten about and they were seen as a stumbling block for the tory government a hard border would be absolutely disastrous i represent the people of west rome a supporter constituent say we are when our vehicle industry there's a bridge from strip to leffert there's free flow of people free flow of traffic free flow of goods go over it on a daily basis and at the recent structure in our heart border to that it would be dishonest tourists for the people of the north as a whole he used support a border of the irish sea what we would be there is absolutely no border whatsoever but sheriff and have led the case for special status we needed them in part of the customs union on the single market we've continued to do so have continued to lobby
4:10 pm
with the twenty seven or any piece of lead to campaign for that and we will continue to do so in the time ahead ravi see if there is a border. variance position is. the good friday agreement would you not be expecting that there is going to be groups in communities on the border who will believe that a return to violence or at least damaging infrastructure is inevitable but look i don't i don't think the commentary is to say that there's going to be fallon's is helpful for anybody we want to avoid violence for twenty years on from the good friday agreement i was six years old at the time with the good friday agreement was signed i benefit from the good friday agreement i grew up in a peaceful society as a result of the good friday agreement and it's about it's about cherishing the good friday agreement it's about and the magnet and all its forms and it's about see and prosperous and for everybody and the only way we can say that is by special status i mean in the customs union on the single market that's the only way forward for the people of the north to use a cherished good friday agreement. for the t. shirt and if what we're getting from the chaos arguably from downing street if all
4:11 pm
that happened the great horde border and frames position is still just support an agreement like that you know he was accused of selling out of. his shin frame turning into basically into the good friday agreement was an international agreement the only party he didn't support it was. the people of the north continue to support the good friday agreement we had the anniversary just passed of twenty years from the good friday agreement on missing people from all sections of community calm and celebrate the good friday agreement celebrate the pace at that as a way of hot and for the people of the north you know but if there's a border what happens to west through what we have opposed to heart border in the heart perhaps that will continue to oppose that i was just acted recently with and if i was the majority and that majority was the people of standing up and sent they didn't want a hard border they didn't want to hard set and family continue to lead the campaign for special status so that we don't have a hard quarter all
4:12 pm
a big thank you well to hear the other side we're going to go outside westminster just speak to do you here beside me wilson the judges were personal on bricks and in a member of britain's parliament you can move your legs. in the european union the d.p. is the paramilitary linked party keeping drazen main power as british prime minister sami thanks for being on going underground again so how excited are you by your defacto coalition partners to resume his government saying it's going to a publisher white paper on highlands future it's not a white paper on arlin's future it's a white paper which will outline the government's position on a whole range of issues which it has to negotiate with the. i think decision. and this time a lot more detail and quite a lot of details is out in the public to me and already and has been given to the their disingenuous of course keep on saying we need more we don't need any more we don't like what was saying etc i think that the government is right to make it
4:13 pm
quite clear this is what we're going for. and then let put it up for the night let's hear from you because you are so far the you have been allowed to be all or are significant that when the prime minister stands up to them they backed they have an agreement in the summer which we find on except what we said you're not signing up and it had to be changed the e.u. said it couldn't be changed that was changed they said they wanted legal text by march when the prime minister saw the legal texas in the way and they said we can't move on he said tough i'm not signing up and they backed down again they said then that they wanted it fixed by june and again it hasn't will be fixed by the french foreign minister joining the drea june is the absolute transit of all foreign ministers and doing the negotiation at the moment so you know it is quite clear and the prime minister should learn from this. i don't take any dictation from the
4:14 pm
stand up to them they get feet and and they will give in when the white paper is revealed in a few weeks time will we be able to tell whether she has been played as it were them well i don't know what's going to be in the white paper but i hope that she repeated again and the house of commons that we will be leaving the single market will be we will be leaving the customs union and i would hope that the white paper would reflect both of those objectives because that of course what people voted for and that's the only way we're going to free ourselves from first of all having to pay billions of pines into the e.u. having to accept e.u. rules for the united kingdom being tied to the e.u. trade policy when we have got a whole world out there that is just we have for britain to do trade thing that's
4:15 pm
very hard to. as a result of course our economy will benefit that's what breaks it david davies says but you sympathise with tourism a reportedly davis apparently told me that a customs partnership could be or would be it was being reported illegal under international law well whether it's illegal and i'm not an international lawyer so i coming in judgement of a tell you one thing is clear is a. who on earth would want to do trade deals with the united kingdom if as a result of any trade deal when they sent goods lyonnais king those have to pay tariffs on them as if they were going into the e.u. and only when they have proven that they haven't gone into the they could claim that money back again is good that so apparently i mean jacob riis morgue is the bookies favorite to replace to raise a may at last i looked at the odds what did you make of this the g said when their response was well let's have a poll in the united ireland. yes this whole border issue with reference to bricks
4:16 pm
or maze or border thing i would not be as confident as you that's not a risk i'm prepared to take when we first of all to reach morgues denies that he ever said down i'm fairly convinced that if there was a referendum on united on tomorrow that the people of the north are would vote for me i'm within the united kingdom however as you've seen in scotland the whole purpose of referendum is free often by nationalist parties are not to win them but to simply cause further destabilization that's why it's on. and she ought to kick it as far as she can in fact she ought to kick in along with the idea of staying in the customs union on a single market don't know but it's a good cue for me to go off the subject of rex it and ask you what you made of tourism a explicitly a problem of saying there will be no amnesties for british veterans who are found guilty for crimes u.k. security services and so on no statute of limitations but i think you'll find there
4:17 pm
will be a continual lobby. from ministers and from backbenchers and the house of commons for what's called a statute of limitations because don't forget that terrorists. went to kill the security forces on the civilian population in northern aren't being given on the stand by your defector keeping this prime minister and the prime minister was explicitly saying there be no amnesty what you think your constituents are going up think if former all you see and so on the implication already in jail you have a case of your question is that every time we disagree with the prime minister we bring our we threaten to bring our dialogue you see what is quite important more zuma more or we bring her dying that's not really a very tenable position on a day would be a very waste position for sales to we believe that we have got significant support within the conservative party we've got the defense secretary who as pushing for this and the proper thing for us to do for the. i believe that's what most of our
4:18 pm
constituents want is to continue to push the prime minister on this particularly but it's not as leaving the defacto coalition issue for the d.p. but that's it's a key as far working with our friends within the conservative party to try and force the government's hand and to just a statute of limitations that are at that. sammy wilson shadow brecht that spokes person of the day you beekeeping tereza may in power in britain will be covering on going underground any convictions of british soldiers or ira volunteers as well as raise a maze white paper as and when they happen but that sympathy days there will be back on wednesday when britain's new home secretary addresses the police federation having been in wales as the murder rate in britain's capital overtake new york's c.u. on wednesday twenty years since the island of violent voted for the good friday agreement .
4:19 pm

4:20 pm
. us secure state issues twelve demands to iran including several completely unrelated to tehran's nuclear program it comes less than two weeks of the donald trump pulled washington out of the iran you to. the parties or to opposite ends of the political spectrum seek the blessing of italy's president for their radical coalition manifesto. and as the official inquiry into the u.k.'s grunfeld tower fire gets underway at the home office has criticised the visa delays that are preventing the family of the victim from attending.
4:21 pm
good evening great have you company money neil harvey this is our team international u.s. secretary of state threatened the worst sanctions ever for iran to see unveiled twelve demands against tehran. iran must declare to the i.a.e.a. a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program stop enrichment provide the i.a.e.a. with unqualified access to all sites and its proliferation of ballistic missiles release all u.s. citizens and support to middle east terrorist groups iran must respect the sovereignty of the iraqi government brown must also end its military support for the hooty militia withdraw all forces under a new command throughout the entirety of syria that support for the taliban and other terrorists in afghanistan in the region and i or g. could force a support for terrorists and militant partners around the world and to iran must end its threatening behavior against its neighbors many of whom are u.s.
4:22 pm
allies. scalise not so you want to correspondents america samir a long list of demands what is it exactly that pump a once well he started off his speech trying to convince his audience of how bad obama's deal was claiming that it's flaws put the whole world at risk and he argued that the j c p a way only postpone iran's development of nuclear weapons but of course the international atomic energy agency has verified the opposite now pompei also promised unprecedented financial pressure on iran and he warned that sanctions will not change until iran changes and he also threatened that iran will have to fight to keep this economy alive let's take a look. we will apply unprecedented financial pressure on the reigning regime leaders in tehran will have no doubt about our seriousness these will indeed end up being the stronger sanctions in history when we are complete. it's also worth mentioning that this economic pressure can only succeed if the e.u.
4:23 pm
also complies however brussels has already stated that it's satisfied with the deal saying that more sanctions are unnecessary as it seeks to protect its companies that are doing business with iran but let's quickly break down the demands of some of them had at least something to do with the previous iran deal for example pump a zero demanded that iran stop enriching uranium and never preprocess plutonium and he asked for access to all of iran's nuclear sites but these demands were not only part of the j c p a way they were met by iran which was certified by the i.a.e.a. other demands included had nothing to do with preventing iran from acquiring new these were random foreign policy demands which we saw earlier they included asking iran to stop supporting who these and see in yemen and they demanded that iran pull out of syria one highlight of the speech was when pompei accused shia iran of
4:24 pm
supporting sunni extremist groups in afghanistan and apparently pressure will continue until iranians change its government so now america is blatantly telling the iranian people what to do but check out what he said so. at the end of the day the iranian people will decide the time or. at the end of the day the really people will get to make a choice about their leadership if they make the decision quickly that would be wonderful if they choose not to do so we will stay hard at this until we achieve the outcomes that i set forward today. so that could definitely be interpreted as a call for regime change which unlike pompei is nuclear demands or wasn't part of the original deal all in all it's unclear what the administration is looking to get out of this but what does have to wait for reactions from the e.u. and of course iran and i think so that's american reporting from washington. well around r.'s already responded to washington's demands assisting but its forces will
4:25 pm
stay in syria for as long as is needed to fight terrorism that goes in your eyes which as long as there is the need the fruits of terror and the syrian government wants it iran will continue its support of the syrian government let me underline that those who entered syrian territory without the consent of its government are the ones who need to get out. i'm joined now by of us he's the visiting scholar at the middle east studies center in tehran good afternoon tea. runs response to bomb posed demand regarding syria it's been defiant insisted that the forces are going to stay there as long as the syrian government wants them to what are the ramifications of the repercussions of this going to be. the presence in syria has been under the permission from the syrian government in order to help the syrian army to fight against terrorism and i think this is
4:26 pm
something that given to the efforts of iran and some other countries like russia in helping syrian army in the final against terrorism we are seeing the. last the end of the isis as a measure of threat to that country and if it wasn't the help of iran or other entities to syria we would be facing two terrorist states rather than groups fighting in those countries and into when it comes to the comments made by the secret state of the united states i think it. is they want to put. pressure on iran and in order to put maximum pressure on the one they use different issues like regional issues like you runs missile issue as well as in the clear issue and i think. the problem is not the maybe the small or let's say behavior of the violent the region but i think what they want to
4:27 pm
see is a regime change in the country and what we didn't hear but from mr pompei yo was the war which in changed what was in fact what he meant by the war itself comments he made and he showed that. by as much as john bolton the national security adviser of the united states he is also a regime changer and supporter of the regime change in iran iran has made it clear it's a don't stand its ground if washington's going to take an aggressive stance is that not going to destroy any interest now between the u.s. and iran but also couldn't harm trust between iran and anyone else including europe . so you mean on different issues or just syria i think on any issues at this point given that you know the u.s. is just ripped up
4:28 pm
a deal that that iran must have thought that it had locked down for several years. ok what in any other choice can iran have because iran arctic countries including the united states as well as e.u. russia china and european countries they negotiated for over two more than two years and they could a strike and this could come back to more than. let's say thirteen years before those negotiations and take the strike if the call the way and now the ministration has changed in the united states in the government comes and says that it doesn't accept that it remains and they withdraw from the. and they are not committed to that what he can iran have that if any new deal is made the administration the united states or any new administration in the country would be committed to that i think. this is something that there is no guarantee for them to
4:29 pm
keep to their promises and once i think if they want to show that they want to engage in negotiations a new one in the construct their way first they need to committed to the deal which is they had already made and once they did not do so so i think there is no bases there is no reason to trust them for any future negotiations and i think by the things which happen in the recent past man's. seeing that the wrong will not trust the united states for years to come and the. result for those measures by the united states will bring more mistrust upon the rainy inside because they will not. rely on what the united states says and this is not just the issue of iran the allies of the united states on the other hand even the europeans they cannot count on what the united states say. the trumpet ministration rig. our list
4:30 pm
of what their allies in europe are saying they withdrawals from the deal that the europeans were supporting i think by the comments even made today by the secret state mike on peo. the it will be very hard for the united states to bring europeans or are the countries on board in order to support that maximum pressure that they are talking or the historic sanctions they're talking about iran . time i guess the bus line a visiting scholar of the middle east ratatouille study center in tehran think well my pompei added that the u.s. would send teams around the world to further explain washington's policy on iran but even before his new demands france was one of many countries already lashing out at u.s. strategy towards to around this could my we're going to the u.s. is the planet's economic policeman.
