petitions feeding britain was established by cross party politicians i think this is bigger than party politics it's about looking at those root causes and saying what can we do in a very practical sense to make sure that families don't end up in the situation and i know you have to be bipartisan or on the issue as of n.g.o.s but right now jacob reese more who is the favorite to replace to resume the reason that he ever wanted to do that clearly saying and using three million children the food banks are uplifting the war what it really is is david cameron's big society in practice and this is a symptom of. a good side to british civic society well we be delighted to invite down some of the projects we work with so that he can talk to the volunteers and talk to families and understand really what it's like in a practical sense for those families during school holidays and we'd be delighted to talk to them but there's she's just very briefly your next project are you working on fuel poverty obviously or don't think about winter as well as rural

poverty as opposed to urban yes so one of the projects we're launching at the moment is in cornwall which is obviously an area of you know it's a delayed holiday destination specially this time of year but once the holiday season finishes there's a lot of hardship during the winter so we're raising money for an emergency fuel bank which will be located in one of the food the food banks and alongside an emergency food parcel families will be given a voucher to top up their gas or electricity meter because what we've seen in previous years is people are unable to use the food they're given at the food bank because they don't have the gas or electricity to cook it so it's a really simple intervention and we're asking the public in cornwall holidaymakers to help us raise thirty thousand pounds to get that underway was yogi thank you thank you very much. well of the inequality and austerity outlined by professor danny dorling and rosie o. girls really wasn't allowing enough some of describing rises in violent crime in the u.k. as a public health emergency latest u.k.

government statistics show knife crime at a record high with more than forty thousand incidents between march twenty seventh gene and march twenty eighth we know is kevin monger who used to be a gang member and is now a law student and community activist he is the author of young black males have potential kevin thanks for coming on the show to tell me about your journey and how you gave up violence is out of london after literally a dale of two cities paris and london or is really a rough start to life as you know i was born in front i came here. in corydon. you know grew up i saw you know the similarities from paris to london crime. gangs you know groups of people forming in groups minorities especially and that you know for a long period of time i was able to stay away from it but then at the age of sixteen i realized that it was joined again by i became a victim and so due to that fact i feel the only way for me to you know escape.

the victim i victimization was daring to again you know. i joined a gang because in mainstream media gangs of. incarnations of evil basically there's no context whatsoever i mean how was the i mean did teachers do anything i mean thousands. in croydon according to latest figures in south london toward encloses and more than thirty primary education oversubscription of a. now over a thousand percent in some cases schools better in your day the ranges i think school was definitely better in my day. now i think what is happening is this so-called gangs or gangsters are actually people who are prisoners prisoners of the streets prisoners to certain ideologies and ideals you know that they are governed by you know when i think of it and i look at the picture of this actually

no law so what's happening is these young men or forming groups. and they're just making up their own laws and you see people who are gang members and killing jobs on the streets and they kill each other agree rather than anyone else outside these areas one reason why the mainstream media portrayals of this isn't deserve isolated from mainstream britain i think is actually due to the they probably want to. put it under the carpet so they don't really want to show what is really happening and what is up and what's happening it's making headlines so. we know in a day or few in theory and to certain people because i could wake up could be a teenager or a fifteen year old boy wake up and see that oh actually just ten people have died last week and think there is the norm so subconsciously they are normalizing

something base of norm what waste of human potential are we talking about. i don't know the exact figures but the loads. when we talk about waste i'm talking about talents i'm talking about destinies i'm talking about families because when you kill one minute you entire generations of us how deep it is and this it comes it when i wrote if you've written about your experience which is a few years before the twenty year wait grouch one g.m.b. union study says the more than half of school support staff are spending their own money to give pupils food tampons pencils do you think all of this context is going to make things worse i don't think that is enough i think what society should look at the government because that's the body that is higher than us they should really focus on invest in things like social skills so making sure that the children are

coming into school have a well developed in their soft skills so for example they know that they can open a bank account when they get. they can have a job at the age of sixteen you know at the age of eighteen that they can ever go and do an apprenticeship over and university and a lot of these kids such as myself when i was growing up i didn't know about these things and so you thought that the only way to excel if it isn't for sport or music per se is for a lot of communally you've written about the drug trade and how that affects gangs tell me a little bit about that the war see is i think that these young men. intrapreneur really but they just not know it and they already feel that the only way for them to gain money is in a legitimate way by they can actually use those skills that they've learned on the streets and use it in a positive way you know in a legitimate way the government have just said or these the police have said that banning drill music videos on you tube will combat gang violence or if you think of

that i don't personally thought that banning a jar of music. the crease left due to the fact that. jewel music is actually an outlet for certain young males out there they don't have an occupation percy's such as a job or they don't play a sport and we've been in there i think it actually increases and this is just an expression of these young men's left though isn't right for expression it is their expression now i don't condone the music and i do thought the young men should speak about their lifestyle and also talk about the consequences i think that i think that's where it's irresponsible of them but by in the door as a whole i don't think it's the right decision a surprise of the authorities responses things like you tube videos rather than civic skills like opening bank accounts and. other elements of what it is to

live as an adult i think i'm not surprised because i think they are trying to deal with a problem that is already. so you're trying to do a report and we've been suffering from this for years you know it's just as i said there has been hidden i know it's coming to light and now it's really prevalent and now with some of that it's we can see it now and now they're trying to deal with it and so they're just running everywhere and trying to tackle it. i'm not surprised in that aspect but what if they successfully sweep it on the carpet and these figures just go up and up in these segregated areas of britain and then that's when we have people. on the streets given mungo thank you and that's it for the show will be back on wednesday on the eve of results from one of the british government's favored outsourcing companies which operates u.k. borders waste collection pensions war planes trains prisons wants people schools navy bases and children weapons children he would talk to a social media will feel wednesday forty eight years to the day of the death of

an oxymoron there is no more wealth to acquire the ecosystem is collapsing to the economy is flooded with worthless paper and the species is migrating over to the digital sphere feasibly these networks and platforms people are uploading their minds into cyberspace and hope to be come in more people so every dollar spent on defense every dollar spent by the pentagon is a wasted dollar it's a nineteenth eighteenth seventeenth sixteenth century mindset it's completely antiquated and it's utterly worthless. in the. busiest says harlan kentucky. all of this really the boy says it was very funny. a coma and he said she was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the

coal was just said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. to.

headlines this hour a british m.p. has compared break soup to self-immolation after reports emerged at the u.k. army will fly in food and medicines in the event of no deal being reached with the . also to come the canadian government to acknowledge is a shocking post from the practice when unmarried women were forced to give up their babies we speak to one of the victims. there was no conversation about it with me about how i got pregnant all they cared about was the fact that i was. pregnant and that i had a baby that they could. take. care of this in the united states say that donald from the presidency has created a new form of anxiety disorder that is democrats remain convinced russia tampered with the election results even though the cia now rejects the claim.

that i welcome you to pm here in moscow you watching r.t. international now british m.p. is tweeted god save us in response to reports that the u.k. army were flying food medicines and fuel should the country come crashing out of the without a trade deal while the military has since said it's not received any such instructions the news has created a sense of panic among some well let's get the latest now from london in a situation who's covering the story for us. so what course this uproar that. while i am through with the deadline looming uncertainty about what exactly is going to be achieved come march next year seems to be peaking especially in light of these latest reports circulating in the british press suggesting that the. british army is on standby to be able to deliver through full of goods and supplies

in the east of the new deal brac said goods such as food and fuel medicine etc and of course it's safe to assume that measures like this would usually be taken in case of emergencies and of course our reactions from m.p.'s here in london have been very swift with something short and others refusing to be manipulated into what they call scare tactics. god help us this is not coming from remain as this is not project fear pro bricks and ministers are drawing a blueprint for the army to deliver food fuel and medicine if we leave the with no deal we have a duty to prevent the self-immolation the plan of scaring the crap out of people with no deal horror stories in order to make an f.d.a. which will tank the economy look like a good deal is beginning to work. well that regardless of how you look at this our potential doomsday preppers race.
