4:01 pm
fifty years ago breaking within two cons again as a sleeping pill does this is what i mean because just said this thought the scientific sweat terrible but not on the road is shown in dutch one troubled love more to hear not the war then boom boom up across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the concert mind that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple of. shots seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me to call yet to stamp out he's going to come out to call and engage me equals betrayal.
4:02 pm
when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back we just heard from palestine chief negotiator say beric at talk about what he believes are possible solutions to end the violence in gaza to hear the other side of the story i'm now joined from manchester by rafi blum the co-chair of northwest friends of israel rafik thanks for coming on going underground who is to blame for the massacre in gaza because of the united states moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem well i'd like to correct you initially and say the massacre in gaza some us were to blame for any deaths they've confirmed that of the sixty dead fifty one members of some us islamic jihad have claimed another certain other story and let's be clear this protest and these deaths were not because of don't
4:03 pm
trust moving the american embassy to jerusalem these processes are quite clearly because hamas has lost its strategic advantage your sources extracts and feels the need to reinvent itself and so it's instigating these riots knowing full well that they're not going to get anywhere using them as cover for attempted terrorist attacks and infiltration into israel and so if anybody is to blame for any of the deaths it's clearly some us a sense of billions to a sovereign border fence when they know the dangers because the international community does not accept that it is a border fence because it is in violation of un resolutions would you though support an inquiry to vindicate what you just said there to answer your first point first actually the the border with gaza and israel is the international armistice line there is no debate yet over that all of this land not a border yeah but there's nobody does no debate it's not the is not called the green line and it's not there's no sort of you know going to be any attempt to
4:04 pm
renegotiate those borderlines any final status solution so it's israel sovereign bought us in terms of an inquiry i believe that the i.d.f. has done all its accounts and mitigates as many sort of injuries and casualties as possible i think it has clear rules of engaged. it is a clear rules of engagement and i think that we've seen that some us abuse these riots and as an attempt to infiltrate we've seen videos of people actually getting onto the other side with knives with meat cleavers with weapons shouting. who think of inquiry don't you think a choir you would vindicate your position and that is after all the position of the israeli government why not i mean when someone is shot dead in london at a demonstration there'd be an inquiry. my answer to that is there's a i'm not a member of the i.d.f. but i feel confident that should there be an inquiry yes it would be indicate the i.d.f. is obviously asked that because the united nations human rights commission has voted twenty nine to two to independently investigate but israel will not support
4:05 pm
any independent investigation into the deaths but i think you have to look at the united nations you know human rights council is massively biased against israel in any event and a number of countries abstained from that vote as well including the u.k. it's not the united nations security council it's not the united nations general assembly it's united nations human rights council which has been known for years so it's used by so resolutions against israel i do think that you mention the united nations armistice line isn't there a problem here with israel continually opposing u.n. institutions because when is israel going to abide by a united nations security council resolutions but it's interesting you say that because of course the united nations resolution two forty two doesn't state doesn't call for withdrawal completely from any occupied territories it calls to exalt in one hundred sixty seven borders it calls for withdrawal from distant from occupied territories in return for peace and security so when you quote united nations resolutions you have to apply it to both sides of the united nations resolution to
4:06 pm
force it was very very clear withdraw from occupied territory in return for peace and security israel does not have peace and security when its neighboring arab countries and the palestinians offer it peace and security you know why not focus on that why not say to them why you are biting bayonets and this is resolution two forty one offering this of peace and security it's a two way street this resolution was not one way that resolution of course is conditionality according to the international community and this certainly no conditionality on the status of jerusalem u.n. security council two three three four in december of twenty sixteen as recently as there so why is israel celebrating the breaking of that resolution well when you say jerusalem. i mean that speaks where jerusalem was the capital of israel in one nine hundred forty s. forty eight forty nine it's the place where the government sits where they just reset where the executive sets it's where any foreign diplomats who comes to israel to meet with their israeli counterparts comes to visit them it's where heads of
4:07 pm
state go it's never been a capital of a palestinian state to my recollection correct me if i'm wrong and so therefore jerusalem is the capital of the jewish people it's going to start going to come to the jewish people for millenia for the young so there are un resolutions or the settlements in east jerusalem are a flagrant violation of international law united nations resolution says that obviously you know i don't i don't believe. israel that any part of jerusalem is not part of israel let me tell you something i was in israel three weeks ago i spent a day in the west bank i spent a day with an easter is that with many students the knights and they said to me very very clearly they would rather remain under israeli sovereignty and become citizens of israel and live under palestinian authority rule and it's interesting because in one nine hundred sixty seven when israel recaptured or took control of east jerusalem out of the holy sites it offered every palestinian or every arab resident at the time to be system citizenship now they collectively said no but at the end of the day those citizens those residents of east jerusalem benefit from all the benefits that you get from living in israel and they said to me very
4:08 pm
clearly i've heard it with my own ears that they would rather remain under israeli sovereignty and be part of the palestinian authority is finally i don't know what you thought of the media coverage of what's been happening near that buffer zone between the armistice line but britain's nato ally turkey has compared jews to nazis and their treatment of palestinians indicative of what you've been hearing from so many sides of international community in the past few weeks i mean first of all i would say that you know any comparison of of the israel palestinian conflict to the nazis is abhorrent and it's actually absent that israel has not been committing acts of genocide against the palestinians indeed the palestinians now number some. four point two million people in nine hundred forty eight there were six hundred forty thousand is rather pretty rubbish at genocide if that's the case no it's completely wrong turkey speak to the folks on how can to please who have been engaged in the massacring of kurds the ethnic cleansing of kurds and that's
4:09 pm
a fact that israel dealing with the palestinians you know i was at the area's border crossing three weeks ago the palestinian authority stopping for atrocity in gaza they've lost the salaries of fatah employees in gaza they fought the early retirement of thousands more some of us are using palestinian civilians as human shields for terror acts israel is the only entity that believes in increasing the prosperity of gardens of ordinary gazans and understands that will lead to potential peace and an increase in potential peace so the international community in turkey especially is in no position so that it is not about anything right people and thank you. thank you very much. there's something very different paul weller wrote the political song going underground appears in a new documentary charting the career of a designer who has arguably influence how people look across britain and all around the world the subject so i like call him curator john simons with over six decades in retailing helped to define british modernism john welcome to going underground
4:10 pm
what do you think of a film that seems to imply that every man in britain owes a debt to you in some way when they get dressed in the morning i had a very long career in men's clothing you know even since before i left school and i think it's great that. the film depicts that and explains it to some extent without being big headed it would be true to say that they can't be many people have been touched in some way or another who hasn't had a harrington jacket or hasn't had something that we that we were the inspiration for the caller's hair back down shirts we were we went pushing them since sixty two sixty three is quite a long time ago and so when you opened you had a shop in east london then in west london and you had clothes coming in from the united states at
4:11 pm
a point it didn't start off like that it started off with us running around looking for people who could take this to pieces and copy it to pieces and copy and they were big manufacturers because we were actually kids you know we wanted just small quantities so there's always teething troubles in that but they're you know ambition was to go to the u.s. so i started going to the u.s. around sixty six sixty seven and that was an awakening you know i suddenly found this whole world of wall to wall ivy league clothes shirts. stay precious trowsers all that whole ivy league stake and yet it was the working classes of this country i loved your shoulders and your clothes and that fashion in the united states was was richer people it was everybody everybody i'm telling it was everybody was in with big stores button down shirts pollard i'm high there were
4:12 pm
millions of them it was a disposable society you know everybody everybody wore. short pants and the bottom high fashion the waist what's coming in short pants narrow at the bottom in the waist you heard it here first the voices in the film like paul weller who wrote a song which this program is named after said he says it was about identity and that it somehow linked to music an art and it was you know was not like a group entity you know when we you know we want to plug into something so that we have kind of unanimous feelings about things. and that was what was happening happened slowly i remember the first day when we go in. in richmond the ivy shop which is an iconic name now. i think we took sixty five pounds sixty five pounds of quite a lot in nineteen sixty four we were absolutely over the moon you know and that's
4:13 pm
think it works. because it's a point made by the broadcaster robot elms in england people didn't talk much about clothes and he makes the point that the jewish emigres room europe came over big history of tailoring in jewish communities in your oh yeah and they they were allowed to talk about men's wear whereas the post-war generation the kids if we'd only have them or did start to talk about it you know they go to football but they still like their clothes and they wanted to have a shared interest in clothes and they would come along to the ivy shop every week and what we doing what we doing what's new would you think of what was said in the film about how when working class britain took motown music and other forms of african-american music to britain it somehow became both music is always linked with some of the very different so your taking of ivy league fashion for me
4:14 pm
and i we live it acted yeah it's because a lot of our influences were on the jazz lp calibers the blues. modern jazz quartet . chip by coal these people they all war ivy league it's not just poor well of the musicians suggs from madness to turn band is on and he says kind of brushes it off quite quickly that skinheads obviously adopted the hiring joe that was associated with. some of the right wing politics in the race itself do you think when they came into your show scary and we didn't get skinheads we had what you call suede heads which were sophisticated skinheads and they were less racist whether they were just i wouldn't. want to say that but it was modified but but gradually that element did come out of it and. the west indian guys come in where and look and they were really happy in the shop they come along on
4:15 pm
a saturday and they say i want to parody blockbusters they're big heavy shoes you're used to so impaired that was their nickname from the blockbusters. no i not take that. take that you know i'm not saying i had many to arms about so we never had a problem of that so you know we always love the fact that we had all different people and different backgrounds coming in but conscious about the media frenzy of more than rocker is the kind of gang we very happy today we were very seventy's we were great extent we created that as either an offshoot or directly of what we were doing today identity arguably is high fashion labels yes once the working class not necessarily tailoring curated by by one. mostly in the same fashion these days are very much to do internet publicity who they have on
4:16 pm
board. and people want to follow their vision we're a little bit underground but we do have a big following. very big following by people who feel they're a little more in touch with the reality of clothing what about the fact that you are such an early importer from southeast asia you talk about shoes from korea yeah do that do you think about the explosion in that kind of trade things made with good craftsmanship i started to go to spain and all these different people notice the american by. setting up factories there so i began to realize that it was happening all around the world. you know there were capabilities a manufacturer we found some really good stuff made in korea i just went to an office in the city saw the korean guy showed up as i wanted a couple months later they. came that way ok.
4:17 pm
that's after the show will be back on wednesday when he has commemoration hearings continue at the inquiry into britain's west tower block grant felt we have veteran grime mc my c. phonics is a new song and why he believes that prime minister drazen may is taking liberties until then that's my social media with your wednesday one hundred seventy six years to the day that john francis tried to assassinate british queen victoria he said damn the queen why should she be such an expense the nation. you never know what's around the corner i never knew i was in the. excitement it's now and that's when the adrenalin rush comes from.
4:18 pm
the violence is a. friend. well you can do all these things and behave badly. on. their portable hole disqualifier little wall. was also focused on the last. one this man infirmed. wall less than the thoughts of a broader when the fire broke out and really did a poll down down went up a little bit. of meaning in these images that least if you don't mind the involves it's constantly evolving and. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want
4:19 pm
to be rich. that's why the beatrice was like that before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my house. during that first city hall. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred trees per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelms. the only numbers you need to remember is one in one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only.
4:20 pm
the headlines this hour italy's president appoints an interim prime minister after the railing a euro skeptic coalition by blocking one of its cabinet picks prompting calls for his impeachment. i'm wondering if we are in a democracy if it's an italian side or the germans decide the french to side. also to come as the new k condemns israel's use of force against palestinian protesters it's revealed that british firms are selling a record number of weapons to the country. and we speak to a black eye to be stabbed in the n r c a rally in the us he says the police tried to press charges against him.
4:21 pm
the welcome is just gone six pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now yet more political turmoil is on the cards in italy after the country's president plans for a year a skeptic coalition he also appointed a former international monetary fund official as interim prime minister carlo cotta ready stressed the need to close ties with europe. the new owner will be. within your remains fundamental as is our continued participation in the euro area well his appointment came after the president rejected the euro skeptic coalition's choice of finance minister the media they were quick to react denouncing the president for acting as quote a king who blows everything up surely dubinsky has more on the story well what we know is that italy will have an interim neutral prime minister he's called carlo quarterly he's a former director of the i.m.f.
4:22 pm
and he now has to form a government that government then has to be approved by the italian parliament if they don't approve his choice of a government full of ministers then italy will face fresh elections as soon as or ghost if his government picks are approved in those elections are likely to be pushed into the first half of the twenty nineteen well why are we here well that's because the italian president had vetoed the choice of the economy minister put forward by the attempts to form a coalition by the league and by five star movement that man that was rejected was eighty one year old barlow so savannah who is known as a financial expert but he was vetoed because he was seen as being too euro skeptic and even on sunday the italian prime minister was saying look guys just give me somebody who is not so against europe and i will approve your government. i
4:23 pm
approved all the proposals for the ministers but i did not approve the name of the minister of economy i ask for their ministry and offer to political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as a supporter of a line that could provoke italy's except from the euro well the coalition leaders these are the leaders of the league and the five star movement to be angered by that decision by the italian prime minister saying that it absolutely not democratic they say that they've got the. supportive six out of ten voters in italy and they are see the thing that what's happened in italian politics problem and i'm wondering if we are in a democracy and if in italy the italians decide what the germans to sign the french decide it's incredible to me that this is the actual point we have a great problem and italy this is not a free democracy where the leader of the fleet also went on to make accusations against german politicians and the german media saying that they were interfering
4:24 pm
and that comes after we saw the publication of a number of german magazines basically putting out what they thought of that potential coalition government one the weekly dish to go had described italians as being scroungers another had used its front cover to show a van with the italian flag on it and the symbols of those two parties actually driving off a cliff meanwhile the new prime minister carlo got out early has been speaking today about what he sees as the friendship with europe and the e.u. as being absolutely essential to italy and we already know that his appointment is been given the seal of approval by brussels he said that they fully support the decision but it's almost over there is still much turmoil in italian politics and you can be sure that both five star movement and the league will be using what's happened over the last twenty four hours or so to drum up support whenever italy
4:25 pm
holds its elections next or just to give you some more background to this a general election almost three months ago resulted in no party securing a majority however a coalition pact was eventually formed with a political novice appointed prime minister but then he resigned just a few days later after failing to form a government we spoke to a member of the five star party one of the coalition partners who does the rejected economy minister was not anti european. incredible point is that the candidate mr boehner was the first saying us as stay in the e.u. in the euro zone but is to be more stronger in the east if you show to bring some good point at home what my therapist said today in a t.v. conference was that it was not ok because in the past you criticize the view so can you imagine a democracy where a minister cannot be
4:26 pm
a minister because he has some political idea you can be else you can be a problem you've been dried just guilty for something you cannot be a problem if you have some good idea. where former italian prime minister. the latest guest and. discussing why the country is currently politically divided you can watch the full interview later today we have a lot of single problem single issues surely migrants surely the lack of employment of an employment is one of the most important problem of my county but in general a part of europe is not on li mani's problem because the rich northeast. vault for a popular spot for years and they cannot now start to verify if the problem isn't the slogan of electric company will be broad git laws or they are lazy
4:27 pm
in india live the sort i am at the opposition but they were really cool use we will see if after agree. we agree paul for the citizens those populists will be able to achieve results. now israel defense forces have raided a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank allegedly hunting for suspects who killed an i.d.f. soldier the day before. thinking at reports to suggest that dozens of soldiers entered the refugee camp in ramallah early on monday morning thirteen palestinians are believed to have been wounded during the rages clashes broke out when soldiers used tear gas and live ammunition

against throwing protesters camp residents claim a number of palestinians have also been arrested. meanwhile u.k. weapons manufacturers enjoyed record sales to israel last year a new report by the campaign against arms trade has revealed yet british politicians at the same time condemn israel's use of force against palestinian protesters. looks at the story. after israel's use of life fire against palestinians on may the fourteenth there was condemnation in much of the world not least the u.k. yesterday's riddick massacre because it left at least fifty eight dead the loss of life we have seen is tragic and extremely concerning. such as is destructive to peace efforts and we call on all sides to show restraint the launch of life is extremely concerning we continue to employ israel to show great restraint yet
4:29 pm
despite those strong words for years britain has been ramping up how much weaponry it sells to israel since two thousand and fifteen numbers have skyrocketed up eleven fold in the span of just two years and those sales include star power rifles weapons sites in munition for small arms anti-riot equipment and other items similar to those used by israeli forces against unarmed protesters. the u.k. doesn't keep data on how such equipment and weapons are used after being sold until that can be established m.p.'s put forward a motion to suspend sales altogether in the lords of the extensive use of. israeli forces against palestinians in gaza the house calls for a suspension of u.k. to israel unless it can be demonstrated that weapons and components imported from the u.k. . in accordance with the consolidated criteria that motion did not make it to
4:30 pm
