changing that. you know like i said these things never happen again will the much is just go on and you expect justice will continue i mean the marches it would be a shame to stop it not just for the call for justice but the therapy it brings these people you see for most of the month until the fourteenth and also doing the walk on the actual fourteenth of the month some consciously is helping the people because it gives someone an event to give someone a place to gather to give someone a community to be around rather than you know if we didn't have the side of what happened forty of them every month from potentially have a lot of people sitting at home depressed or. alone suffering with depression and i think that's that's the most worrying and most scary factor about about this and just making sure that people have the option to come together and all are welcome on. the future much of course no matter what skin tone what race what belief you want what political party represent as long as you come as

a human being and you drop everything on arrival when you respect the science we welcome everybody from faiths and wages to come and join us thank you after the break. instead of investigating the social economic spock's that may have led to the grenfell atrocity and now investigating those who risked their lives to save the full of we talked to the emergency services that's coming up in part two of this special edition of going on the ground. for. survival that's taking your time all the stored safely at least. be sure you don't get it back. repatriations again look at the rest of seventy years. ago of the seven guys report .

and. when my uncle was a kid same company saying oh boy tonight nobody i mean. even though they can. get me. on the watch i've written down and then showed up the movies because i'm listening to the going to be out in show mr sutton i must. thank. you i thought a not so much but she was. considered a consummate he was rough a million to show thank you.

welcome back you're watching a special edition of going underground on the eve of the one year anniversary of the worst tower in british history the grand fell far i'm joined now by the london regional official of the fire brigades union lucy was surrogacy thanks for coming on the show before actually we get to the ground felt tower five thousand jobs gone thirteen hundred dead in the fire blazes over that six years and a twenty five percent cut from central government what is the say the fire brigades union and the fire brigades one year since grenfell we are in a worrying situation my union the fire brigade union have been saying this you know for a long time for the last three years off four men our foreign secretary boris johnson imposed major cuts on the fire service three to four years ago that included included twenty nine. fire engines being with me from frontline service have

a thousand job losses in london alone. and ten fire stations in london close down including one very close to grand cell tower now my union warned the time that these cuts not only in london but across the country would lead to an increase in an increase in fire deaths and unfortunately what we seen in the year two thousand and sixteen three thousand and seventeen even before going to south we've seen a thirty percent rise in fire deaths in this country eurovision the religious programming the warning all that but more than seventy people died over there. a year ago tomorrow the news is here that scotland yard is going to be investigating the fire brigades and your members what was your reaction when you heard that news i mean what they're investigating as they put policy as they put policy is not the london fire brigade unions policy that's the london fire brigade really have to speak to them about that what i can say about my members of my members who attended that fire on the fourteenth of june last year is they put their lives on the line

those brave men and women who went into that building who were absolutely devastated to this day about what happened and to have people go on t.v. and to talk about what they could have done or what they should have done is really not helpful i would not fault any one of those firefighters who went into that building their work was absolutely astonishing and amazing and had it not been for the actions of those firefighters on that night many more people have died you see i mean there's lots of reports of failures of your members surprised that there may be more emphasis on that than the companies involved in say the engineering of that building and the development of the building i do find it very concerning and very upsetting that there seems to be a narrative now especially from the right wing media to try and shift the blame on to the fire brigade on to the firefighters what we should be doing is looking at a system that for decades has cut funding to the fire service has deregulated fire

regulations you know and a system. over decades where we really haven't looked after people in social housing that's i believe what caused the incident on the fourteenth of june last year not the actions of the firefighters the firefighters who went into that building and nothing more than heroes and anyone who says anything else really are not you know not good enough to lace our boots i speak to my members who went into the fire many the my friends on the stand i'm based at chelsea five station not far from here and my station were one of the first on the things these are my friends i talked to the heartbroken about what happened they literally were having to make the choice between who they were going to save and who they had to leave behind the control workers who had to listen to people die on the other end of the phone you know these people did an amazing job there's an inquiry going on at the end of this inquiry we may get some answers we need to listen to the evidence we need to find out from the people on the scene from the victims from the firefighters from the emergency services what took place for people to come out and make these are

accusations is really on helpful is a going too far to say the leads are basically blaming your members instead of austerity which has been. the excuse the usual the usual accusation by your members as to why they aren't as able as they may be to us and i think it's to be expected you know anything of this magnitude where the government is you know put under focus to where stairs she is looked at where cuts to the fire service deregulation of fire safety when those things are put under a microscope of course people are going to come out and try and push for a different narrative and unfortunately you know if that narrative involves putting the blame on the people who are really the only people who went in there and saved lives then there's not much we can do about that i think the public won't be full the public know exactly what went on on that night and the survivors the relatives of the victims they know the work that goes. brave men and women did on that night

you know as they were running away from the danger we were running in and i don't think anyone can question the actions of those firefighters or not you don't really are confident though i mean obviously to resume was elected as minority leader in the in the ridge government after it and she said only the other day for those who thought she should have maybe met survivors in the aftermath of the it seemed as though i didn't care but it was in the case and she regrets it going to be honest with the trees i'm a came down and met the firefighters and staged a photo op that's that's not important you know what's important to us is justice justice justice for every one of those seventy two men women and children who were burned in the building not too far behind me that's what is important you know trees i'm a standing in front of a camera whether she smiles or not it is so relevant the victims don't care about that we want justice we want this inquiry to deliver us justice we want the

questions that we have to be answered unlike say ultimately we just need justice if those victims do not get justice for what happened on the fourteenth of june two thousand and seven there's going to be anger there's already anger at the moment but people are keeping it contained you know it's you can feel it just walking around this area i mean i'm on so i you know at least once a week almost every other day i'm on one side here and you walk around and this is failing in the community is it is bubbling away there under the surface and everyone's having hope for this inquiry for this inquiry have to deliver those answers it has to give justice to those seventy two people and if it doesn't. i think this may be a lot of anger using as a thank you thank you. to the so called forth the margins the service on the in kensington and chelsea i'm joined by alan everett he is the vicar of st clement's church in the shadow of the grunfeld tower is also the author of after the finding words for grandfather millions of words will be found

arguably at the inquiry that to resume has launched what's your sense of what the community feel about what their expectations of the millions of words will be written about that night. i think most people appreciate the need to document and to highlight the issues i think the frustration and difficulty for people is simply the time it's going to take before we get results and so people in the situation where they feel very helpless where they're just waiting and here we are a year on a still way waiting has an effect only really just begun grenfell tower has recently been covered but still up there we've no clear formal process for carrying forward the next stage with tower. demolition will be dirty and

noisy we don't know what's going to be put in its place is a memorial site so the whole year all in one of the things i don't know exactly and obviously there are still outstanding issues to do with housing so people are in a state of waiting bayonets and they feel power powerless and helpless and we're now in the middle of the anniversary week and it's just that sense of we're on a long journey when is it going to end i mean one of you. in your church in terms of drawn from fear of losing on the lowest incomes do if you listen to for use by those in power in the context of grenfell is there a feeling that. your position. well i think people have been speaking about the problems of the management organization for many years when i

first arrived in the parish in two thousand and ten those issues were life including the issue of safety including the issue of emergency access far engines the base the tower the developments took place around there so yes these are issues which have been outstanding for very very many years i think the arm's length approach which they adopted working through the t.m.a. . very negative implications people who live on the estates and they felt they had a very poor level of service and so people definitely did feel neglected and this is you know no matter what shade people's political beliefs how politically active they were pretty much everybody felt very very disgruntled and frustrated by the performance of the team and so one of the things

that as a result. yes i'm told my session so one of the one of the natural consequences was that. for some people a narrative has emerged that this is a deliberate policy to run the estates to pave the way for a generation change the character of the area i suppose the inquiry is meant to do with varying but it is quite interesting. people from all faith helped on the night were saviors that made. some way to be surprisingly those in the government when the archbishop. the head of you can drill just in will be said in the same breath if you do a grand feeling then about corporations not paying tax. how much is this this is not just about grant for this is about a sense of inequality through the country it's certainly the case that people in this norton tip of the robe are of kind chelsea feel marginalized marginal of

the life of that power. the main issue at the heart of all this i think really is housing. and that is clearly an absolutely huge issue but i think the bigger problem was that north kensington was really not known about before the fire if you just said kent and to people they would automatically assume that the entire bar was extremely wealthy and this is just a forgotten corner and i think that's been the basic problem on flying everything do you think from some critics of the story of grand could really be a story of generation people talking about social cleansing gentrification is that an element in the story of grand for there were fears of. the state's. going to be regenerated and that would include

a good thing. let your regeneration of the specter i think of private housing coming into space is pretty suggest next to social housing so i think they were very very strong concerns about that. mind standing is that all those plans being put on hold and did the head of the anglican church actually have to really queen. you know it really will be can still to you when he said and some people were to be ensured by this the inadequate response to the ground fill was ultimately a failure of values would have you would you think you may have meant by that i don't know whether you talk to you about things he didn't talk to me about that i did see the archbishop of canterbury at sometimes church after. he didn't talk to me i think for me if we're talking about a failure failures we're talking about the fact that. people living in poor areas people living in social housing are taken for granted people were told

shoddy repairs shoddy work to the building they should be grateful for what they've been given because they didn't own the property and i think that attitude that people should be grateful for what they've got even though it was shoddy even though it was probably dangerous i think that is a failure of i think that's a failure of compassion i think that's treating people differently however thank you. that's it for this special edition of going underground we're back on saturday to deprive them what the singapore from it the future of the world children with us about social media will do your job today with british workers more about little grieve seeing the seminal fight for social democracy against the forces of liberalism.

at the cia played golf. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and member wolf it was dismissed it like a million pieces and my complicity is still going on no phil saviano maybe. john without a doubt. the only palestinians who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision they're not going to go through this. and know it is unfair advantage to

have this lady. i know i do compete in the doesn't seem to do more. but results. around. the trump gym summit in singapore was certainly rich when it comes to optics but what about the substance both leaders are clearly looking for a win in process has started there are plenty of obstacles ahead and no shortage of people whose worst nightmare like come true peace coming to the korean peninsula. the. the.

just one day left before teams from all over the world start to compete in russia's big twenty eighteen world cup but one winner said to be announced on wednesday. plus we've seen live right now meeting to decide who's going to host the tournament in twenty twenty six they should make that draw within the hour will bring up speed on the first two in this day of football. pundit for this year's world cup manchester united manager joe say marino gives us his predictions on the final legs of the championship. portugal it was ill he says of course it was say that i'm doing emotional soul. yeah might be. and after the historic summit in singapore donald trump starts

a new era in relations. with north korea but questions are being raised whether pyongyang can really trust washington. by just a mid day or a moscow life or marty's age q kevin i was with you a very good day for me hope holds good with you so then it's with us the eve of the main event on the football calendar the fee for world cup set to kick off in just under a day now here in russia with everyone from players to fans and referees all geared up for this huge competition the every match will take place here in moscow on thursday between the host russia and saudi arabia.

russian world cup host cities are welcoming all the die football supporters that arrived early to watch their teams train thanks to the supporters anticipation is building right across russia where the games are going to be played mexican fans there the put not a fantastic show to start with getting into the mood in bright national costumes and sombreros with supporters really getting into the spirit of things we are still fans from france than what their hopes were for their home team that took the senate minority bobby disappointed if we don't make it to the final without well i think that we can get to the final although i'm not sure i could say we will win but i don't really want to win we want a second star while most international fans arrived in russia by plane some decided to challenge themselves a bit more than a bit and use some unexpected means of transport. we've. both.

our first find to be in the world cup. since the. two years ago i have the first match her with over the way in the first match the other think it's a boy who has finished. but. a few of us thanks. we will drive the russian and the all the car but it wouldn't be the same the joke

is to try to rush a lot of. the russian car you and. no matter how far the team goes we will follow it in the car and so the longer the team stays the longer we drive and we were all for that we were excited for. a lot of russians started adding us and sending us messages on instagram a lot of them were offering. to give us a tour of the city too they were showing off their own lot to us because they love the car. thank. you i'm seventy years old. my trigs. to use other transport would be too easy i'd learn nothing try out the country car. the

old one with all you need to be very attentive on the roof of the drivers of calming me taking photos this is such a. great team in their own right only now before all the action head over the next four weeks is one very imminent task happening right now for the organizers to perform as you mention in the headlines and that's looking ahead to which countries going to be lucky enough to host the world cup way away it seems at the moment a little quick in twenty twenty six it takes that much planning the vote on that is underway right now should be made known public within the hour is happening here in moscow and it's between morocco on one side and then a joint bid on the other that's comprising the u.s. canada or mexico. where that vote is taken place. in the case of morocco that would be at least sixty two million dollars more investment if they

win the rights to hold the twenty twenty six in the world. of the kind in which the america you know him a little bit surprising the u.s. mexico and canada most of the infrastructure is ready and in fact the more row can bid scored only two point seven of the total evaluation by. inspectors that's barely passing the needed threshold while the north american bid scored for now today obviously is a historic day for thief in many ways because this is the first fee for congress to be completely transparent all member nations today that's two hundred seven eligible to vote will be casting their ballots choosing the twenty twenty six world cup host country in a completely public and transparent way that's something that's never done before for president giani infantino this is a big step forward yesterday he was struck in his stuff on the pitch against the football legends today he is presiding over what could be his penultimate before

congress asking the president the election is next year but today it's obviously about choosing the country which will host the twenty twenty six world cup that is something we will know shortly after noon moscow time and it's scenes at least on paper as i mentioned before that the north american bid is very strong that it would likely win the right to host the twenty twenty six world cup however you know things may happen and particularly because of the political situation here is my explain as to what could potentially be that today there is one obstacle on the world cup journey across the pond and its name is donald trump starting with purely practical things after all the u.s. president introduced a travel ban for a number of arab countries due to new entry regulations that the currently being proposed in the united states in relation to citizens from certain countries there are significant risks to discrimination free entry to the country. he is also building

a wall on the border with the country which is part of that bid mexico wait what trump also demands mexico pays for that wall occasionally getting a very hard no from the neighbors down south hardly the most cordial alliance of a no mexico will never pay for a while not now not ever sincerely mexico all of us and then there's a personal aspect as well remember the famous or should i say infamous whole countries remark of the united states is racist he really is the devil this is an actual quote from the actual president this is the gift that he decided to give the american people they're not all countries for one donald trump isn't their president. well technically those countries account for fifty four votes and that is more than half of the necessary hundred and four needed to win the bid

hard to blame them if they decide to support morocco against the u.s. and now add that to the football federation's of the countries blacklisted by trump and when the us president tried to extinguish the blaze and secure the bid he might have made things even worse the u.s. has put together a strong bid with canada and mexico for the twenty twenty six world cup it would be a shame if countries that we always support were lobbying against the u.s. bit why should we be supporting these countries when they don't support us including at the united nations. today's giani in frontin as rain is going through a massive reforms and one of them is that the decision on who gets the world cup will be made through an open public vote by all member associations it leaves one to wonder if trump had that in mind when he tried to bully the countries into a voting for the us alexy russia skee r.t.

was going to probably know within the who there's going to be will tell you all about it when it comes probably take you there live as well this twenty twenty six world cup is going to be the biggest since the tournament began in one nine hundred thirty as well it's going to consist of forty eight teams that sixteen more than the current format football consultant and former fee for communications director walter the gregorio earlier told collin bray his expectations for the vote today that it's easier to try and host this massive tournament in place or does it make more sense to try and solution absolutely want to and this would be kind of the only factor you know the need to go to morocco already when you have one single country but different states it is very complicated and you can imagine if you have three different legal systems in all. it's for sure more more complicated than if you have one single country but at the end of the.
