thank you 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 out jewish immigration to britain led to a tale of changing the way every man in britain looks today that alone full well out of going up to grab fame all the civil coming of a plot to i'm going underground. these we continue to discuss only about some commenters of the mastic. come back to seek spots and we don't we have nothing to give to the next generation our reasons under which to be proud to be european these is the reason all of us kept.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus one of your some with four hundred to five hundred trade per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one distance show you can afford to miss the one in only. fifty years ago pregnant women to come together as a sleeping pill does this is what i mean because i took the does what he said just the scientific sweat terrible but not on known as shown in the. one trouble will be

here not. then boom boom of across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something to wait first for the physical damage itself as well with the constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been brought to justice and there has been a couple. welcome back we just heard from palestine chief negotiators a barrack 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 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

aspects are blamed for any deaths they've confirmed that of the sixty dead fifty eight are members of hamas islamic jihad have claimed another thirty another 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 clear late because some ass has lost its strategic advantage its offices 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 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 that it to answer your first point first actually the border with gaza and this. it's the international

armistice line there is no debates yet over the us this line not a border yet but there's nobody does no debate it's not the case not called the green eye and it's not there's no sort of you know going to be any attempt to 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 engagement issued clear rules of engagement and i think that we've seen that hamas of use 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 we're here think about priory don't you think acquire 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

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 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 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 of 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 you are biting bayonets nations resolutions it's also 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 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 been historically the cup 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. that any part of jerusalem that 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 a nice tourists with many students and 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 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 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 so. four point two million people in one thousand 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 cunt to eat who have been engaged in the massacring of kurds the ethnic cleansing of kurds and that's a fact that israel dealing with the palestinians and i was at the areas 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 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 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. now to 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 help 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 up and down callers cared about and i'm sure 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 there 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 there's always teething troubles in that but they're you know ambition was to go to us so i started going to the us 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 with big stores button down shirts pollard i'm 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 here for us 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 enrichment the ivy shop

which is an iconic name now. i think we took. sixty five pounds sixty five pounds of quite a lot in one hundred 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 from 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 a war did start to talk about it you know they got 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 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 cortex. 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 joe that it was associated with he was a little bit about some of the right wing politics and the race itself do you think where they came with us you know well the 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 in outlook and they were really happy in the shop they come along on a saturday and they say i want to parody blockbusters they're big heavy shoes you're used to so a parody that was a nickname from the blockbusters what size are you going to go no i got take that. take that you know i don't seem to have many to imes. 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 to they were very definitely were great extent we created that as either an offshoot or directly of what we were doing today identity arguably is high fashion labels yeah i want the working class

not necessarily tailoring curated by by one. 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 are such an early importer from southeast asia you talk about shoes from korea yeah we do that do you think about the explosion in that kind of trade you can blow things made 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 and they were you know

there were capabilities of manufacturer and we found some really good stuff made in korea i just went to an office in the city so the korean guy showed and so was i wanted a couple months later they. came that way ok them and we were off john so i would say. that's it for the show will be back on wednesday when as commemoration hearings continue that inquiry into britain's west tower block grant fell we hear veteran grime mc marcy phonics his new song and why he believes that prime minister drazen may is taking liberties until then you can give each of us 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 to the nation.

you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the mojave no one can tell excitement it's that mood now and that's when the adrenaline in much comes from. you need to move on definition and the extremes to all four who support. the violence is a. friend. we can do the sleeves and behave badly. they're going to be public hospital for a little while. more so for the last one. hundred million infirm. roll down follow through the thought. i would roll there when the fire broke out really beautiful don't want to fulfill your. community's music in the least if you don't. come from the involvement of.

china says are going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. . so trump is having in a fact i mean is that weighing into the minutia of trade deals which president has done that i can recall usually they just paint a broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of trade deals. a little bit more still with you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce offspring of the you that will be gossiping probably for the most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their products. all the hawks along the border with one.

italy's president appointed interim prime minister after you were a skeptic coalition blocking one of its key cabinet picks calls for his impeachment everyone who is criticize the. good as ministers mass realestate yes to some mistakes who has the trust of nobody. as the u.k. condemns israel's use of force against palestinian protesters reveal that. a record number of weapons to the country. and we see phil black civil rights activist he was. in the us he says the police tried to press charges against him.

are they welcome to r.t. international law from moscow. today thanks for joining us this hour. headed for more political turmoil after the president blocked plans for a euro skeptic coalition he also pointed a former international monetary fund official as interim prime minister which has sparked anger from populist leaders. but you will you know. all those who in their lives as professionals academics everyone who is criticize the euro or europe they are not good as ministers if this is the point we have a great problem in italy it is called democracy this is not a free democracy. shopping for weeks we work seriously and we seriously believed in this government and we were sad because many italians hoped for this government to

work the incredible thing is that matter a realist said no to a center right candidate c. but he said yes to some mr x. who has the trust of nobody. and the appointment of a new interim premier came after the president rejected be euro skeptic coalition's choice of fight its minister voters have been expressing their frustration over the political deadlock what of it let me get i wanted for the northern league and i feel a little betrayed because i had hopes in everything that had been said but all allusion there it's amazing that eighty days since the election we still have no government there is certainly a problem with our voting system but we should also remember that the president must respect the constitution when exercising his powers many civil commitment it's like there's no alternative on the one hand we have these onto european forces that have a political program we can't trust on the other hand we have this pseudo government

common sense that takes us back to the time of war sterrett it from which we can no longer get anything. short of dubious q has more on the new interim prime minister and what could happen in italy over the next few months. well what we know is that actually we'll have an interim neutral prime minister he's called carlo quarterly he's a former director of the i.m.f. 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 a sort of honor 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 general beauty only i approved all the proposals for the ministers but i did not approve the name of the minister of economy i ask with our ministry and authority of political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as a supporter of a line that could provoke italy's exit 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 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 or will be. within your. remains fundamental as is our continued participation in the euro area but we already know that his appointment has been given the seal of approval by parcel's 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 holds its elections next just to give you some background a general election almost three months ago resulted in no party securing a majority however a coalition pacts was eventually formed with a political novice appointed prime minister resigned just a few days later after failing to form a government but of course citing politics professor at the university of milan

told us that the italian president appears to be playing to brussels today in the seventeen years that once you give me talk about seventy years in there has been nothing like that before it's pure politics and i'm not saying it's not following the constitution yes it of course is making a political move he was we knew for a that stuff boehner is. one of the was a banker for very many years who's going to take italy out of the euro zone and it was you know he wrote it you know this. and flipped about six or seven months ago and it was like to 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 you know clearly you know as you move over all the eurozone a former italian prime minister matteo disease the latest guest the noughties sophia and co discussed why the country's so politically divided you can see the

full interview just a little later today. we have a lot of seen the problem singlish is surely migrants surely the luck of employment of an employment is one of the most important problem of my county but in general a part of europe that ran away in finance now because the other is not working for america even if in the very line. formula it's grafter also you for using to bolt. some countries very rich you see they grow up one of the scepter business so ultimately for going to and in germany with a very good performance in economy it's a strange message so it's not only economy it's also economy is also economy but there's not only economy. in my country is not only money's

problem because the rich not to. vote for a populist party as the liga not. bill is this is a time for europe to come back to great failures to great the great ideals i am but they're my my passport is italian and they are so proud to be talent but they also proud to be european citizens. israeli soldiers have raided a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank searching for the people who killed the idea of a soldier the day before. for him dozens of troops entered the camp in ramallah on monday morning thirteen palestinians are believed to have been wounded during the raid as fighting broke out and soldiers opened fire camp residents claim

a number of palestinians have also been arrested. and while the u.k. year weapons manufacturers enjoyed record sales to israel last year that's according to a new report by the campaign against arms trade british politicians there at the same time condemned israel's use of force against palestinian protesters so i can connect 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. yesterday's horrific massacre because of 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 right 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 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.
