with the international community but in congo as is known very well president kabila is pivoting to china. does that mean the help 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 ethiopian i said sure that have want to take 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 in twenty seventeen the british government here is 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 or just a number of. violent events in libya i would have to check exactly which ones have
8:02 pm
led people to 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 our mandate is to report on the scale of internal displacement in countries to try and understand the patterns to try and give 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 better respond our role is not to carry out geo political analyses of. conflicts across the world even though of course we recognize the direct link between that and displacement but that's not what our mandate covers alexander belike thank you after the break as theresa may signal the referendum on
8:03 pm
a united ireland. is a maze defacto coalition about the imminent consequences of that and no amnesty for the british army or the irish republican army all the civil war going on about to have going underground. i'm really afraid that the american american policy of. the american policy of taking hostage other nations. and companies. be successful the.
8:04 pm
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 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 vote in germany and the u.k. joining me now is the newly elected member of parliament for western rhone all of begley all the things were going on the program just before we get to the united ireland it is forty four years this week with this one since the. massacre is 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
8:05 pm
still to this very day sick and justice they're sick and justice for all those who were killed in the massacre and it's about it's at the time that the legacy and quest happened we were great then when the storm passed agreement which was four years ago we need the legacy to be up and run and we need to have legacy inquests and we have at the leader stop an instant held by a court of law to be on lawful and stop 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 modern. well that's an issue 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 the uk the legacy mechanisms need to be there they need to be explored so that all these issues can come to the fore. well nothing's happening strong in the northern ireland assembly the british prime minister drizzling has been talking about legacy issues are saying that she wants
8:06 pm
no search of the limitations a new amnesty for u.k. soldiers involved in crimes we're going to be talking to the d.v.d. in a moment which keeps tracing me in power his prime minister they oppose that would soon friends position we would agree with opposition but here the words of treason may last week the words of the british secretary of state and that was very offensive for the families it was the phantom for the families to map with carm bradley and i put it to your 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 but garden misrepresentation as to their legacy in class been in favor of those been prosecuted being armed forces rather than being on both sides which was completely misleading there's no doubt that the tory government have prioritized their own self interest with the d u p over the interest of the people in our continue to do so by not calling the british irish into
8:07 pm
a governmental conference and they seem to do so with bribes at all so it's about time their british government stepped up to the markets that put the interests of the people of the north before their own self interest but they're packed with the t.v. even mainstream corporate media seems very aware of the brics the referendum is going to impact on the good friday agreement what did you think of reports the tourism a has been saying that a referendum on the united. might go in the frames way if it were if it happened given that the good friday agreement says it is possible to be a compulsory river and well look if we had a referendum and if they wanted 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 brought. it has opened up the constitutional debate around our land and there's no doubt that more people are endorsing if there's enough irish in a day we were. part of what machinations are the british government to use in to
8:08 pm
gauge public opinion as to whether a border poll should be called she was in it on able to clarify about what first this isn't the first time that she will declare a version didn't just rule it out while she was on able to clarify what she is using to gauge public opinion as to whether unity referendum should be called in for him is renowned for inaccuracy recently what is your vain think would happen if there was a virtual united i lived in belgium but obviously want to united ireland i'm a republican i'm a nationalist and i don't apologize for that obviously i want a united ireland obviously in have campaigned for a united ireland and it's saying that the people in the north and protect her and i . 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 a really divided cabinet and downing street that would presumably mean
8:09 pm
a whole board but the tory government are all over the place where they don't have what they don't have a solution for the people of the north it seems to be the case that one 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 supporter constituents say we are when every one district there's a bridge from left first 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 do you support a border of the irish sea what we would be if there is absolutely no border whatsoever. and have led to key. yes 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 with each twenty seven or any piece of lead to campaign for that and we will
8:10 pm
continue to do so in the time has obviously if there is a border. position is to support 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 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 of 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 at 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
8:11 pm
that happened the great hord border position is still just support an agreement like the. invaders accused of selling out of. the soon frame turning into basically into a field of oil the good friday agreement was an international agreement the only party who 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 and we stand people from all sections of community a calm and celebrate the good friday agreement celebrate the pace as well as a way of hot and for the people of the north you know but if there's a hard border what happens to west through what we have opposed to heart border and heart brads that will continue to oppose that i was just acted recently with and if i was in the majority and that majority was the people of standing up and sent they didn't want a hard border they didn't want a hard. set and sent them will continue to lead the campaign for special status so that we don't have a hard part or all a big thank you well to hear the other side we're going to go outside westminster
8:12 pm
to speak to the u.p.a. and be sammy wilson has had its words personal on bricks and in a member of britain's parliamentary committee on exiting the european union the d.p. is the paramilitary links 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 is government saying it's going to a publisher white paper on highlands future it's on 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 just hang a lot more detail and quite a lot of details is out in the public to me and already has been given to the their disingenuous of course saying we need more we don't need any more we don't like what we're saying etc i think that the government is right to make it quite clear this is what we're going for. and then let put it up for the night let's hear from
8:13 pm
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 back they have an agreement in the center which we find on accept what we've said you're not signing up and how to be changed the e.u. so it couldn't be changed it was changed they said they wanted legal text by march when the prime minister saw the legal tech she said no way and they said we can't move on she said tough i'm not signing up and they back 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 going to june as you have a transit for foreign ministers and doing the negotiation at the moment so you know it is quite clear and the prime minister should learn from this. don't take any
8:14 pm
dictation from the 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 in 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. you 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 thank you for britain to do trig thing that's worth it. and as
8:15 pm
a result of course our economy will benefit that's what brics secretary david davies says but you sympathise with the razor a reportedly davis apparently told me that a customs partnership could be or would be it has been reported illegal under international law well whether it's illegal and i'm not an international lawyer so i can thing a judgement up on 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 good king those have to pay tariffs on them as if they were going into the e.u. and only when they had proven that they hadn't gone into the they could claim that money back again is good that so apparently i mean jacob riis morg is the bookies favorite to replace to raise a may at the last time i looked at the odds what did you make of this the g said when their response is well let's have a poll on a united ireland. yes this whole border issue with reference to bricks or maze or
8:16 pm
border thing i would not be as confident as you that's not a risk i'm prepared to take let me first of all to read more 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 off by niceness parties are not the will number to simply cause further destabilization that's why it's a rubbish idea and she ought to kick it as far as she can and fact she ought to kick in along with the idea of staying in the customs union on a single market oh no that's a good cue for me to go off the subject of bricks if i don't 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 well i think you'll find that
8:17 pm
there will be a continual law by post 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 that 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 implication of your question is that every time we disagree with a prime minister we bring our we threaten to bring our dialogue you see is quite a board 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. believe that's what most of our
8:18 pm
constituents want is to continue to push the prime minister on this particularly but it's not a 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 produce a statute of limitations that. sammy wilson shadow brecht that spokes person of the day you be keeping to raise it may and power in britain will be covering on going underground any convictions of british soldiers or ira volunteers as well as raise amazing 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 learned in wales as the murder rate in britain's capital overtake new york c.u. on wednesday twenty years since the island of ireland voted for the good friday agreement.
8:19 pm
the transatlantic alliance system is whether the number of storms during its seventy year history we are told this is because of sustained american leadership in the same online system survive the storm named truck. i. i. i. i'm here i am. i. i'm
8:20 pm
i'm. u.s. secretary of state issues twelve demands to iran including several completely unrelated to tehran's nuclear program comes less than two weeks off donald trump pulled washington out of the iran nuclear deal. got the headlines italy is on course to become the euro zone's only country ruled by euro skeptics two populist parties come together to present the president with their radical program. as donald trump accuses the f.b.i. of spying on his electoral campaign back in twenty sixteen just as the bartlett opens an investigation into whether inappropriate surveillance did take place.
8:21 pm
thanks for joining us here in our to international live from moscow and i know. that i welcome to the program. washington has promised to unleash unprecedented financial pressure on iran u.s. secretary of state has unveiled twelve demands to tehran and threatened the worst sanctions ever if they're not met. red must declare the i.a.e.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 proof ration of list of missed release all u.s. citizens to the us and support the middle east terrorist group iran must respect the sovereignty of the iraqi government brown must also end its military support for the who the militia withdraw all forces under review command throughout the entirety of syria the 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
8:22 pm
end its threatening behavior against its neighbors many of whom are u.s. allies well he started off a speech trying to convince his audience of how bad obama's deal was claiming that its flaws put the whole world at brisk and arguing that the chase c.p.o. away only postpone iran's development of nuclear weapons and now pump a also promised unprecedented financial pressure on iran ordering that sanctions will not change until iran changes and threatening that iran will have to fight to keep its economy alive we will apply unprecedented financial pressure on the iranian regime the 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. also complies however the e.u. has already stated that it's satisfied with the existing deal saying that more sanctions are unnecessary as it seeks to protect its companies that are doing
8:23 pm
business in iran but let's quickly break down some of his demands you know some of them have at least something to do with the previous iran deal for example pump a zero demanded that iran stop enriching uranium and never preprocessed plutonium and asked for access to all of iran's nuclear sites but these remains 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 pompei a maid had nothing to do with preventing iran from acquiring nuclear. these were random foreign policy demands which included asking iran to stop supporting who these in yemen demanding that iran pull out of syria but one highlight of the speech was when pompei accused shia iran of supporting sunni extremist groups in afghanistan and apparently pressure will continue until iranians change of government so now america is blatantly telling the iranian people what to do check out what he said at the end of the day the iranian people will decide the timeline
8:24 pm
at the end of the day be ready and 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 be interpreted as a call for regime change which unlike pompei is nuclear demands wasn't part of the original deal but all in all it's unclear what the administration is looking to come out of this but what does have to wait for reactions from the rest of the world well iran has already responded to washington's demands with president rouhani warning america has no right to tell to iran what to do he went on to say that the world will no longer cave into washington is bullying commenting on insistence that iran withdraw from syria iran said its forces will stay there as long as needed to fight terrorism people on the streets of tehran seemed to share that view preserve them were americans keep saying they have nothing against ordinary iranians saying they only target the government but in actual fact the
8:25 pm
sanctions of the general public in iran are just as much. as generically by sitting down the negotiating table. we'd better not do that again. the united states has closed the door to negotiations we cannot hold talks anymore . and experts told us washington is confrontational stance could send the whole reason spiraling out of control. this speech by mr means trouble i mean we're aggressive stance and this lack of knowledge and carelessness of what could this actually lead to could it actually lead to more wars more destruction and this is not the first time actually american in the stations in the past have tried to actually destabilize iran from the inside but the problem with that is that we have seen during the past ten years this type of destabilizing governments in this part of the world from libya in syria in. various parts in egypt.
8:26 pm
in tunisia these disruptions for. the stability of these countries created more damage and more harms for the rule of law for human rights for human dignity all over the region saying that the wrong will not trust the united states for years and the. result for those measures by the united states will bring more mistrust from the rain inside 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 champ administration regardless of what their allies in europe are saying they withdraw from the deal that the europeans were supporting i think it will be very hard for the united states to bring europeans or other countries on board in order to support that pressure that they are talking or the historic sanctions they're talking about. i think at the moment you know are these
8:27 pm
doing. by trying to further isolate the united states internationally over the last seven or eight days despite existing brochures and. foreign ministry i've been trying to on agree. with the european partners with russia and china because they. know these extremely well without the economy comprehensive approach and without the serious international consensus and agreement and alliance the united states cannot google back to the regime of sanctions that exist against iran from two thousand and ten to two thousand and fifteen. and what the trump twenty sixteen presidential campaign already being investigated from so many angles there's one more now aspect in the cross-hairs the u.s.
8:28 pm
department of justice and else that will probe whether the campaign was appropriately infiltrated by the f.b.i. . if anyone did it in full truth. in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes we need to know about suits and . action the stakes are getting higher in the ongoing spat between donald trump and the intelligence community this probe has opened up in response to a request donald trump made on twitter is favorite media called on the department of justice to investigate this and furthermore to find out if the obama administration are the ones that actually ordered the f.b.i. to infiltrate the trump campaign before trump's tweet we did see media reports indicating that it was likely that the trump campaign had been infiltrated and let's remember that when trump came out and said that he had been wiretapped a similar claim he made about a year ago the media responded rather harshly where did trump get these ideas where
8:29 pm
is he getting his information anyone here disagree he wasn't going to hold anybody radionic where is the proof what the president charged president obama with wiretapping him it's not true now this time the american mainstream media has outed the mole people are pointing to stephen hall per he's a seventy three year old professor at cambridge university in the u.k. he's american born there he's got longstanding ties to both american and british intelligence agencies and apparently infiltrated the administration of u.s. president jimmy carter on behalf of the ronald reagan campaign the department of justice and the f.b.i. will not deny they there was somebody in the campaign however they have quibbled about the wording they've said this was not a spy this was rather an informant they refused to name whether or not it was steven halper but the question is if it was steven help or this is somebody with a well known reputation links to the cia british intelligence so revealing his identity wouldn't exactly put people's lives in danger or be some kind of huge
8:30 pm
threat to national security or if it is it's not exactly clear why that would be they have a communique. that this is just the latest episode in the ongoing spat between the trumpet ministration and the intelligence agencies showing that there is a high level of division and insecurity in washington d.c. . a former u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has attended a graduation ceremony at yale university she followed tradition by wearing an unconventional would have had. a russian. i mean if you can't beat him today i know. i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim call me on october twenty
