question to them what are the going to do with me i'm here i'm here to stay i'm going to develop my kaname my institutions my schools my universities my hospitals i have to protect my people in every sense possible we still believe we will still continue to seek peace but we want nations on earth like the european union for instance to move to extend poll what can they do who is jerusalem as capital of palestine what can they do who knows the policy instead when they say two state solution where can they help palestinian moderates to steer the course where can they help keep hope in the minds of palestinians because i'm afraid if peaceful demonstrations don't work and if peace negotiations are not working i'm afraid this vacuum will be filled by this variation and this petition only this but if. that's the truth never a dull moment if we want to avoid violence if we want to avoid extremism if we want to avoid this but we should act immediately to keep alive in the minds of palestinians so i've erica thank you thank you after the break. to hear
8:01 pm
a different perspective we speak to the co-chair of the northwest friends of israel rafi blum savile row for every one of the jewish immigration to britain led to a tailor changing the way every good looks today let alone poor world of growing up to grow all the civil coming up in part two of growing older girls. join me every first week on the alex salmond shore and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. you know. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub even to walk into excitement in fact not
8:02 pm
knowing that's where the adrenaline in much comes from. and you can use a nice blend definition and the extremes who will pull to support. the violence is a part of an example most schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave like badly. important people of course colorful but all when for thirty plus plus more social there's a long lost. son this may be an unfair. role in all of us from the start. i would roll the window if i figure out i really did a poll down down went up a little get. the meaning in reason is that at least if you don't then the involves is constantly involved in the. local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken
8:03 pm
hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce talks for the tell you the celebrity gossip the tabloids by styles of reporting. off the bad guys and tell me you are not full enough let's fight. these are the hawks that we along with all those watching. welcome back we just heard from palestine chief negotiator say barack at talk about what he believes a possible solution is 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
8:04 pm
us were to blame for any deaths they've confirmed that of the sixty dead fifty eight 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 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 it to answer your first point first actually the the border with gaza and israel is the international
8:05 pm
armistice line there is no debate yet over the holidays line not a border yet but there's no deep does no debate it's not because not called the green line is that there's no sort of you know going to be any attempt to renegotiate those borderlines in 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 in gay. it's 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 as a i'm not
8:06 pm
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 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'm just saying 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
8:07 pm
one hundred sixty seven borders it calls for withdrawal from this from occupied territories in return for peace and security so when you quote united nations resolutions you have to apply it to both sides to the united nations resolution to 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 are you biting bayonets nations resolutions two forty two and offering this of peace and security it's a two way street this resolution was not one way to a solution of course is conditionality according to the international community and the certainly no conditionality on the status of jerusalem u.n. security council two three three four in december of twenty six team as recently as that so why is israel celebrating the breaking of that resolution when you say jerusalem. speak where jerusalem was the capital of israel in one nine hundred
8:08 pm
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 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 because of the jewish people for millenia for the young so there were un resolutions there that 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 easter as the nights 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 thousand sixty seven when israel recaptured or took control of east
8:09 pm
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 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 the 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 it's 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 one thousand forty eight there were six hundred forty
8:10 pm
thousand is rather pretty rubbish at genocide if that's the case no it's completely wrong turkey speak to the folks on how cunt to eat who has been engaged in the massacring of kurds the ethnic cleansing of kurds and that's 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 thought early retirement of thousands more some us are using palestinian civilians as human shields for terror acts israel is the only entity that believes in increasing the prosperity of gazans of ordinary gazans and understands that will lead to potential peace and an increase in potential peace so the international community and 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
8:11 pm
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 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 as untouched 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
8:12 pm
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 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 take this to pieces and copy and they were big manufacturers because we were actually kids you know we wanted just small quantities so it's always teething troubles in that 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
8:13 pm
united states was was richer people it was everybody everybody i'm telling it was everybody with big stores button down shirts power them high there were 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 know the hair for us the voices in the film like paul weller who wrote a song which this program is named after he said he says it was about identity and that it's somehow linked to music an art and it was you know was not like a group identity you know when we're young we want to plug into something so that we have kind of unanimous feelings about things. and that was what was happening at and slowly i remember the first day when we go in. in richmond the ivy shop which
8:14 pm
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 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 europe yeah and they they were allowed to talk about men's wear whereas the post-war generation the kids if we'd only have the war did start to talk about 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 what do you think of what was said in the film about how when working class britain to motown music and
8:15 pm
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 and i we live it acted yeah it's because a lot of our influences were on the jazz opaque albums the blues. modern jazz quartet. chip by coal these people they all wore ivy league it's not just poor well of the musicians suggs from madness to turn band is on and he says he kind of brushes it off quite quickly that skinheads obviously adopted the hiring jet that was associated with. some of the right wing politics in the race it's do you think where they came into your show was 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
8:16 pm
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 a saturday and they say i want to parity blockbusters they're big heavy shoes used to sell a pair that was their nickname from the blockbusters what size are you going to go no i got take that. take that you know i'm not saying i had many to arms. so we never had a problem of that so you know we always love the fact that we had all different people going 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
8:17 pm
class not necessarily tailoring curated by by one of. most things in fashion these days are very much to do internet publicity who they have on board. and people want to follow their vision where 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. really imported from southeast asia you talk about shoes from korea yeah i do that what do you think about the explosion in that kind of trade you can blow things may well with good craftsmanship i started to go to spain and all these different people and notice the american. almost setting up factories there so i began to realize that it was happening all around the world. you know there were
8:18 pm
capabilities a manufacturer and we found some really good stuff waiting career i just went to an office in the city so the korean guy showed and so was i wanted a couple months later they copy so that we ok. we were off. that's after the show will be back on wednesday when as commemoration hearings continue at the inquiry into britain's worst tower block grant bell we hear veteran grime mc marcy phonics his new song and why he believes good prime minister drazen may have taken liberties until then you can give a touch of that's why church will beat you 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 to the nation. if we continue to discuss something about some amateurs of the master. comes back.

8:20 pm
isolating itself on the world stage. to these 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. but i'm wondering if we are in a democracy and if it's of the italians to side with the germans to sign the french side. u.k. condemns israel's use of force against palestinian protesters it's revealed british firms are selling a wreck or number of weapons to the country. to a black activists to the neo nazi rally in the u.s. who says that police tried to press false charges against him.
8:21 pm
for getting into my name's neil harvey this is r.t. international. yet more political turmoil is on the cards in italy after the country's president detail plans for a euro skeptic coalition he also appointed a former international monetary fund official as the interim prime minister. to really stress the need for close ties with europe their new. role within your remains fundamental continued participation in the euro area his appointment came after the president rejected the euro skeptic coalition's choice of finance minister the media were quick to react denouncing the president acting as a quote king who blows everything up on the shoulder do pinsky has 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.
8:22 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
8:23 pm
a little bit you'll need i 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 author to political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as a supporter of a line that could provoke italy's action from the euro well the coalition leaders these are the leaders of the league and the five star movement angered by that decision by the italian prime minister saying that it absolutely not democratic they see that they've got the support of six out of ten voters in italy and they are seizing 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 decide the french decide it's incredible. this is the actual point we'll have a great problem in italy this is not a free democracy. leader of the fleet also went on to make accusations against german politicians and the german media saying that they were interfering and that
8:24 pm
comes after we saw the publication of a number of german magazines basically pointing out what they thought of that potential coalition government one the weekly dish spiegel 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 say 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
8:25 pm
holds its elections next just to give you some background on this general election almost three months ago resulted in no party securing a majority but a coalition pact was eventually formed with a political novice appointed prime minister but he resigned just a few days later after failing to form a government or cassani politics professor of the universe to milan told us the president appears to be playing to brussels june. in seventy years the constitution it's all about seventy years and there has been nothing like that before it's pure politics and. i'm not saying it's not following the constitution is it of course is making a political move he was will be afraid that. boehner is all this argues that he didn't wanna meet with the banker for very many years was going to take italy out of the euro zone and it was you know he wrote it you know the civil and god world
8:26 pm
will give and flit about six or seven months ago and it was like you'll be playing to get out of the euro so i'm not saying this was a move that was decided in berlin or in paris that clearly it was a move for the eurozone former italian prime minister renzi is the latest guest on multi sophie and co discussing why the country is politically divided you can watch the full interview later today we have a lot of seen the problem a single issue is surely migrants surely the lack of employment govern employment is one of the most important problem on my count about the out of pocket of europe now that the economy and finance now because the obvious not working from any kind even if the very line one formula it's cracked also you for using to bolt. some counters very much you see

8:28 pm
killed an i.d.f. soldier the day before. the as reports suggest that dozens of soldiers entered the refugee camp in ramallah early on monday morning thirteen palestinians are believed to the wounded during the raid as clashes broke out when soldiers used tear gas and live ammunition a great stone throwing protesters term residents claim the 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 revealed here british politicians at the same time condemn israel's use of force against palestinian protesters. connects the dots. 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.
8:29 pm
yesterday's critic 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 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 four 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
8:30 pm
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. 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 debate and while just after the killing of protesters britain did join the chorus of countries calling for an independent investigation when the un put something a war crimes probe to gaza to a vote the u.k. abstained calling into question just how important the truth is to teresa mayes government and leaving london in the comfortable position of condemning potentially horrific abuses also in the guns to carry them out they are always. being critical occasionally the more the more sure hope.
