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 and peace put forth a motion to suspend sales altogether in the lights of the extensive use of live by israeli forces against palestinians in gaza the house calls for a suspension of u.k. sales to israel unless it can be demonstrated that weapons and components imported from the u.k. soley 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 protocol 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 have always been on the news rather than actually they have increased there are. in critical occasionally the more the more shareholders go. right in with the route i think i really believe. if people working at the rogue already know they're. lying it's real once they can see where i was where those children were coming in one by one. i don't. know i think they would walk away. fort hall thousand pairs of shoes have been laid

out in front of the european council building that's ahead of a meeting of e.u. foreign ministers past meant to represent a palestinian killed by israeli forces over the last decade. over a thousand of them some of us children and i brought the shoes of my daughter as well. just to show that i'm standing with those fathers those mothers brothers and sisters who lost their children and their siblings and this is war. that's what all the polling on the european union say enough is enough until you know you have to put sanctions show them the violence that's been. the israeli army has repeatedly stressed that it's acting in self-defense and accused hamas of fueling the riots political analyst mitchell barak says that israel has every right to protect its borders the ones that were killed were close to the border they were either throwing molotov cocktails throwing stones shooting trying to do whatever

they could to break through the border fence in order to kill israeli citizens please don't call them protesters we don't care how old they are if hamas is willing to put up teenagers or others that are young or old or elderly even in order to break through the israeli border he is really army will stop them that's reasonable the fact that there have been countries that have condemned israel i will say so what every country needs to protect their border every country needs to protect their citizens. supporters are claiming there's a secret plot to keep the u.k. in the european union the government has set aside money for. parliamentary election officials though deny this they say the money is only there in case of emotions. it's a precautionary measure so that we have the necessary funds to deliver our functions at a european parliamentary election in the unlikely event that they do go ahead or

the elections for the european parliament will take place next may that's two months after the u.k. is supposed to have left the e.u. yet the u.k. has put aside eight hundred thousand pounds for those elections it's been almost two years now since british voters naturally chose to leave the e.u. since then the negotiations between london and brussels have encountered numerous stumbling blocks including over the irish border while there's still no solution that satisfies all sides the e.u. does say it wants more clear proposals from the british prime minister we want an ambitious partnership with the united kingdom but for that we need realistic proposals from the u.k. and the garage nation cannot be a game of hide and seek and downing street spokesperson said to reason may simply trying to get the best possible deal that would satisfy all sides in the negotiations meanwhile you go parker believes british people are growing frustrated

at how long it's taking the government to find a solution. the british people have voted for this referendum have full expectancy to leave we're frustrated with our government being so slow in their negotiations you know we we find it very annoying very upsetting that they seem to be so slow every time i think they've come to brussels proffit perhaps ask for something more and i'm afraid our government appear to be full of capitulation and they appear not not to be putting the british people first think this is a load of nonsense and i think if you were to put this back two years and say that would be at this position people would say you can't be so they need to sort themselves out but i do think the british public are getting very very fed up with this lack of moving forward. the news ivan the terrible who ruled russia in the sixteenth century still making headlines today a painting of him in

a moscow gallery was vandalized by a visitor who claims. i came to see the painting i wanted to leave but then dropped into the bath a and drank one hundred grams of water. using is no bones hussam new it's still unclear whether he killed his son he's been portrayed as this ban in place you look at other countries rule is at the time.

i'll journalist attacked at a twenty six the neo nazi rally in sacramento california so the local bodies try to file false charges because of his political views he claims he wanted to film a protest which then turned violent leaving as many as ten people injured.

cedric is a long time activist against racism and police violence he was seriously injured while filming the protest the activist himself claims all the evidence he had of his camera including images of the attacker was raised by police know about and also says the security forces did very little to protect him from being stabbed police in turn claim the activist was fueling unrest by raising his fist in the air as a symbol of black power they wanted to charge him with these charges assault and rioting as well as others they say the activist was promoting extremist views on social media centric about him claims the charges didn't come to fruition as the evidence didn't back up the claims he told us why he thought he was targeted. this is the problem with racism in america you know this is why somebody like the present in

the united states you know. it's you know well you know there's parliament by example. not. by it's the same thing is a. listen alex situation. it only. has one national sympathies you know all heats all the. you can do what. you felt. was not. really. little my eyes. and i did ask the police to elaborate on their allegations against obama but so far we've yet to receive any response now this isn't the first time of course a black activist have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. was prosecuted

as a black identity extremist and he was arrested for political views expressed in his facebook posts and they are very harris was charged with unlawful wounding after he was beaten up by white supremacists. and there are growing suspicions that the u.s. has prepared an indictment against wiki leaks founder julian assange washington has for years now refused to officially confirm or deny whether it has done so democrat congressman adam schiff leader of one of the investigations into those russian meddling allegations has said he would accept testimony from a silenced but only if the whistleblower is in custody that's after a sergeant legibly sought an audience with shift to prove his innocence. you. willing to speak to yes yes he told me when he talked this you know and he. wanted to because well he's ready to show that there is no pollution in

a tweet the wiki leaks the mine it's found i had ever made such an offer. does not speak to the public through third parties and we spoke with randy chris ito the man behind the story insists he was contacted by someone from wiki leaks when they found out he was going to meet schiff i met him at the white house correspondents dinner and said he'd like to talk to me privately i said sure off the record so people who are associated with wiki leaks got wind of that and all they did was give me a simple message that if mr shift would like to interview mr a sauna he would welcome that that's all i do not speak for wiki leaks i do not speak for julian assange all i did was deliver that message. has been a longstanding uses for the u.s. since the founding of wiki leaks back in two thousand and six it's published thousands of documents exposing u.s. officials diplomats as well as the army intelligence services over the years top

u.s. officials have. when it comes to science this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. man as a terrorist you can act tough and say if we catch you we're going to hang you whatever wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons are running again says the whole case against the songs goes against the first amendment. this is a first amendment case julian assigns is protected by the first amendment that's the reason why we have a first amendment to protect the press he's a publisher and he is an editor and he is a journalist they didn't like what he had to publish that's the reason why the u.s. is serious about extraditing and charging julian a songe the u.s.

will bring them over to this country and then they will put him in a supermax and get a kangaroo trial court and that would be it for him for the rest of his life. europe is making last its efforts to save the iran nuclear deal during a meeting of the blocks foreign ministers in brussels officials are promising a number of measures to shield european companies from u.s. sanctions but if the reports washington seems to have the upper hand. it took twelve years of international diplomacy to reach a nuclear deal that trump decided to tear up and now you are pissed laughter vowing to protect economic ties with iran from renewed u.s. sanctions we've been acting already beginning you know level to make sure that the nuclear agreement is preserved and economic investments from being a peon side but also from other sites in the world so are protected and we will

work so that we can maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen points of the american decision we will ensure that our companies can stay in. business leaders however have struck more of a pessimistic note the c.e.o. of all giant total is ready to pull out of a multi-billion dollar project and less given a waiver it's not possible to run the global company in this world today we've. actually says the us system that's all of us all here if you have the world and other european companies accosting major doubt as a plan a sci fi political system and if your premise is that this is what you're going to do that's exactly what you're going to do they you house decided to activate a law that will ban european companies from complying with the u.s. sanctions against iran but there's a snag the statute has never been used before and this seen by european governments as more of a political weapon than a regulation because this was a difficult to enforce. indeed the e.u.

blocking regulation could be of limited effectiveness that given the international nature of the banking system and especially the exposure of large systemic banks to the u.s. financial system and u.s. dollar transactions history has taught us the transplanting partnership has been strengthened by cooperation of trade defense and shared values but in this current crisis and mission needs to be taken even if the european union would act to protect european companies. want to continue to do business review iran they cannot really prevent the united states to sanction them on the american markets they don't want to push to berlin meet of a trade war with the european union member states be strong enough and we have a pretty good a real to really decide the countermeasure us which

by united states we are not so far in your position to do research while the e.u. scrambles to safe the nuclear dail this hasn't gone unnoticed by tehran which is ramping up the pressure these political support for the nuclear court is not sufficient then ounce one of the possible withdrawal by major european companies from a corporation with iran is not consistent with the european union's commitments implementing the deal as it currently stands syrup is talking tough on doing business without the u.s. but can the bloc really stand alone when the time comes to act. there's that allowance for myself on the team the do you join us again in twenty five minutes for the latest global news updates.

geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. damn afshin rattansi we're going underground is the chinese communist party officials in the united nations office of outer space affairs announced details of a new china space station coming up in the show on today's anniversary of the convening of the first palestinian national council what now for palestine we go to ramallah to ask palestine chief negotiator so i barack out of the u.k. backed israeli government can ever be made to abide by un resolutions and what now

for israel we speak to the co-chair of the northwest friends of israel randy bloom about the difference between self-defense and war crimes plus why the writer of going underground looks the way he does we speak to the designer who dressed more like paul weller about class and the story of british modernism colas him or coming up in today's going underground but first today politicians from across the e.u. discuss implementation of the iran nuclear deal or j c p o to many around the world statements like these from washington which is arguably violated un security council resolution two two three one is destroyed a post nine hundred forty five consensus the usa has declared an all out economic war against a middle east superpower these will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history when we are complete after our sanctions come in force it will be battling to keep its economy why compare that with the foreign minister of the largest economic bloc in the world nuclear deal with iran it's crucial for the security of

the region of europe and the entire world that's for france's position on the j c p o iran nuclear deal that's why france will not leave the g.t.p. henri the same goes for the international community even if britain arguably wavers in a lead. genuflection to the usa of course the president is is right to see flaws in it and he said a very reasonable challenge to the world was look iran is behaving badly iran has a tendency to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles we've got to stop that we've got to we've got to we've got to push back on what iran is doing in the region we got to be tougher on iran britain's nato partner turkey which borders iran is arguably more forthright we did not find this to be right for the sake of the peace of the region. because as the international atomic energy agency statement says in respect to the nuclear issue iran is a country which filled their obligations early one has been increasingly more

forthright against the usa he faces electoral opponents in less than a month's time who threaten to shut down nature's basic interlink from where washington bombs countries all around the region they could also kick out all u.s. soldiers in turkey by christmas president for his part was the first nato nation leader to kick out an ambassador from anglo-american backed israel in the past few days the reason british armed israeli soldiers were doing or killing thousands this month well joining me now from ramallah is palestine's chief negotiator. thanks for coming on going underground firstly your reaction to groups such as britain's labor friends of israel let alone boris johnson's foreign office blaming hamas for the israeli massacre of great return much protestors this is shameful this is as low as looking get it you know when you have sixty four palestinians slaughtered and killed in cold blood more than two thousand five hundred wounded not a single bullet was fired not

a single demonstrator had anything in their hands and then they have this spent to blame the killed and the victims i don't know what we're witnessing in international but it's even with all this t.v. coverage with all this situation where the mage all of them were killed in the land of. all of them were wounded in the end of guys that not a single israeli was shut or even even threatened and yet there are those people who come out to say. those who are killed should be blamed this is shameful this is disgusting and this is how low in this international politics. we're going have never thought in my life to see in the friends of israel and britain or the nikki haley in the un or others who are more plain more israelis than the israelis on this at least there were some israeli writers who

stood tall to say enough is enough about these massacres being committed against the innocent civilian population and then the second pretext the us they say oh they're hamas lieberman the defense minister of israel says there are no innocent people of gaza imagine two million people there isn't a single entrant child woman man in the eyes of lieberman who is innocent so everyone can be killed everyone should be killed and then secondly. we have videos of israeli soldiers shooting sniping our kids and then dancing dancing on it and number three we called for an investigation commission and who rejected negotiate their investigation commission israel halley from friends of israel and london and nowhere what was going on. that cannot stand that that cannot stand if we if you want peace in this region if we want to defeat extremism in this region we cannot

allow this extremist israeli government to do what's doing in terms of the settlement activities the massacres the confiscation of land the settlement activities the siege the closure they have there and get them to a big prison in the last eleven years to a big prison then one response from britain is now to send prince william the first ever member of the royal family to go to israel what do you think of the we were contacted and he also want to go to to visit us we are not against anybody is coming to visit this region but we want people to stand tall we want britain to stand tall and you have a you know the british parliament almost three years ago voted unanimously to look at the state of palestine with israel some of the scab it or the government didn't is that i should not be rewarded i'm going to interfere in the politics of britain who comes and who goes but all i'm saying is that if we want to preserve international law if we want to preserve nonviolent palestinian struggle against

israeli occupation. people should stand tall people especially and britain should stand tall and condemn these atrocities and and crimes committed against the palestinian people and take take a step of courage but who knows in this state of palestine because when you say that you support the two states you should it who is the two states are not one state i know you have said that because of the trump decision to move the embassy all talks are off even if there were talks what is the state of health of your leader mahmoud abbas the hospital as a matter of fact just visited with him he's doing well he had some. lung infection and some high fever and he needed some treatment and he's really recovering and doing very well but didn't the palestine paper leaks in effect mean that you offered israel what trump has you said the biggest jerusalem in jewish history with all of this is this wasn't true what i said was jerusalem should be divided is

jerusalem should be the capital of palestine and it was there was a limb be the capital of israel but then we can have open city of big jerusalem that can be on both sides we don't want you know the day after peace is signed if we ever have to that there things should look different palestinians and israelis deserve there to live and let live and that's what we did we did we did yes we did who knows there's a right to exist in business you can succeed in lines we have accepted many many many terms in terms of security arrangements and so on but unfortunately we haven't had an israeli official say that there are who knows the state of palestine on the nine hundred sixty seven lines we haven't heard any israeli official saying that settlement should be stabbed in the country or government since oslo agreement continued to build settlement activities and continue dictations and continue siege and closure assassinations and all these collective punishments being employed so

if peace of the end of the day is a need and we need peace israel need peace if one did there would arise in israel. i've got a leader a party that is willing to commit itself to peace they should know that the only solution is for the state of palestine with east jerusalem as its capital to live side by side with is the state of israel. on the one hundred sixty seven lines and have a solution based on international law to fiji's prisoners water and other issues should be should be found and we can do it but so far this israeli government supported by the driver the main driver for them now is mr trump himself they believe they can dictate the solution on us they believe they cannot get away with the settlements and the siege and the closure and making a deeper apartheid system in the west bank and is jerusalem then that which existed in south africa there are orders in the west bank today and is jerusalem we cannot

use as palestinians only israelis can use and such diseases as bigotry and racism was then afflict underneath our skins our skins as humans. all of us we have it in this it is just defy it sociologically psychologically economically sexually and now as well as in the pretext of security to justify the apartheid system also apartheid will not survive the current situation is not sustainable so what netanyahu are doing they're destroying moderates like me who believe in the two state solution who believe in. peace peacefully and nonviolence. and i mean me and my president mahmoud abbas and my party and the majority of the palestinian people really destroying palestinian out of moderates and if you take a shit and take the terms decisions and the last he what he did in the last year who get and then who lost their destroying and destabilising stability in this region. they're destroying their mothers in this region these things and extremism

in this region and extremist this medium bloodying their decisions as you said of president ram because they are telling us look for twenty five years you have been negotiating. you want your last you which of the two of the two state solution jerusalem is to be kept out of palestine was doesn't have to reza and look what they're doing to you know what do you answer. what do i answer you said when the leader arrives at israel until that peaceful protest arguably doesn't work what are your people supposed to do until a leader. of what we have no place to go could there from the river jordan to their military and greater historic palestine today i am fifty point nine percent of the pollution. and forty nine point one percent of the pollution what the question to them what are they going to do with me i'm here i'm here to

stay i'm going to develop my economy 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. european union for instance to move to extend call where can there who is jerusalem as capital of palestine what can they do who has the policy instead when they say two state solution where can they help the 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 it acts 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 the alive in the minds of palestinians so america. after the break. to hear

a different perspective we speak to the co-chair of the northwest friends of israel rafi bloom and savile row for everyone now jewish immigration to britain led to a tale of changing the way every man in britain looks today let alone pull well out of going underground frames all the civil coming up in part two i'm going underground. these we continue to discuss only about some commenters of the maastricht. the sikh spots and we don't we have nothing to give to the next generation and he's going to reach to be proud to be european these is the reason all of us kept.
