was lobbied to amend the un declaration on tape. this is not the new element i mean those of us who have been advocating for affordable access to medicines globally for the past twenty years know that a number of countries are very very strong pressure of their pharmaceutical industry who are constantly asking for much more police stronger monopolies longer monopolies because of course that it's much more profitable for themselves and we know that the united states is very strongly influenced by the pharmaceutical lobby and it's therefore that they are bullying other countries to accept. the deletion of troops sex ability. we're watching out international thanks be company this evening we're back with more in just a behind. trams

but after a time here we're going underground as britain's old racist colony of zimbabwe holds its first presidential elections since the retirement of independence revolutionary robert mugabe coming up on the show can things get any worse in britain as poverty campaigners raise amaze policy as we speak during an oxford university geography professor danny dorling who believes we may have reached peak inequality and that in turn could lead to a brighter new future for all of us but could britain's future be going hungry forget prospected food stockpiling why could three million u.k. children needed n.g.o.s you feed them now this summer vacation bus forty thousand my friends is in a year and a thousand fewer police on u.k. streets we speak to a former gang member about

a rise in crime linked to post bank bailout all started all this the more going on the days going underground but first today britain's highly criticized former health secretary now replacement for boris johnson jeremy hunt is in china for strategic dialogue with senior communist party members of the people's republic here he is when reorganizing the u.k. n.h.s. explaining why china is close to his heart. the first there's something very little of them in. the policies aren't implemented though as health secretary were arguably rather different to the chinese communist party here is the leader he supported defending austerity in the wake of defacto gambling gone wrong by the city of london we've had to take some tough decisions about the public sector about public spending we did that because of the state of the economy that we were left with by the neighbor party when we came in in two thousand and ten those difficult decisions have arguably had catastrophic civilizational effect in britain meanwhile . and china china has lifted over eight hundred million people out of poverty into

most of the progress that's been made in going from forty percent of the world live in extreme poverty to now less than ten percent most of the progress happened in china watch what about progress in britain actually in fact britain is regress according to figures on poverty this month so could there be something systemic leigh wrong in the u.k. and do the british public recognise it now jeremy corbin is odds on to replace to resume joining me now is oxford university's holford became the chair one of the world's greatest geographers professor danny dorling whose new book peak inequality britain's ticking timebomb is out now president welcome back to going underground so you trace the roots of why a relatively left of center labor party under jeremy corbyn no looking set to win the next election is directly related to what you call peak inequality what is peak inequality peak inequality is when everything comes together so the way we measure inequality is the gap between rich and poor in terms of income. and that would be

getting wider and wider and then the gap now go for people who weren't in the top ten percent but they count on getting more than they lost out and they went up and so on until around about spring this year spring two thousand and eighteen when the highest paid person in britain lost his job and we all had reports that bankers pay was falling so is the peak of the income inequality gap but at the same time problems created by inequalities are problems like homelessness. one hundred thirty thousand children homeless christmas that's the highest it's been for many many years their freight rates are now rising for the whole population by five percent in the last twelve months the things rarely ever happen last time that happened was in war time and when you begin to get so many incredibly terrible. and you see the very best off bus stop taking more cars they can't take any more it looks like a pic. it may not be a pain but this is what

a peak looks like the last peak was nineteen for taking any woman got to go on the same kind of thing happen then but you also tend to have a disaster around the time of a peak the obvious one then was the first one. it is a much more benign disaster than the first world war but it's just the kind of thing that makes a country poorer and when you become poor at this kind of extreme situation the only place you can get the money from to keep going is the very rich and that begins the kind of slide down towards becoming more normal and becoming more equal should say of course those. disagree is going to make us poorer you say there's a myth going around in british public life about who voted for breaks the myth is that it's a working class of disaffected working class votes up and voted lave but only about a quarter to leave out the social class d.n.a. the majority believe it was middle class a.b.c.

won the majority was in the south of england working class people much more likely not to vote whereas middle class people particularly older middle class people voted and your typical late voter was a conservative told. he wasn't to each but wasn't particularly poor living in the south of england who had watched as far as they're concerned and then write a country slowly fall apart and their own children and their grandchildren being unable to buy a home start a family they don't everything they've been told to do and yet they were looking at the mostly for future they've been promised in the eighty's and the ninety's and they were angry it was not the last industrial jobs of the north at all just a reminder of years before we explore the issues are you going so so clearly a coherent here you remind readers that back in the seventy's britain was not like this at all it was approaching levels of air quality that are now present in scanned in a. for large countries in year round about nine hundred seventy six britain was the

second most equal to sweden the gap between rich and poor where the now it's a billion the whole of history the british isles people could start a family in their twenty's you could get a hug we have full employment we'll find employment you know you could actually choose what job you want to not this fake full employment we have now where your sanction to death if you don't take any job you can possibly find you have to resume often and pointing to those employment figures but of course even in mainstream media even talking about the working poor not even being able to afford houses you claim that the right to buy policy of being able to effect the privatization of council housing is one explanation of why fewer people are now starting the yes initially right to buy was the biggest transfer of wealth that the poor had ever got in britain initially but you bought your council house

if you'd lived some years with a discount but then you sold it on to a private landlord and that private landlord then charges a private went in the council went and you suddenly find that the country as a whole is in a much worse situation so the consequences are the opposite of what mrs thatcher and. not intended they really did want people locked in their houses paying a mortgage being well behaved. very recently over a quarter of all families in england in chile with children have a private landlord can be evicted with two months notice this is a quarter of all families in england with kids going to school have no security that they can carry on living in the home never had at any time they can be told you've got two months and you've got to go ok when you claim that. making all these announcements about housing and your claiming that the one point two billion pounds is about the price of a long street. in the rich broader if we are at the peak of inequality and your

political parties all begin to step to the left you could imagine getting into a situation in twenty or thirty years time when a right wing government tries to build more social housing the labor and that is exactly what happened twenty or thirty years after the last peak. the matt millen actually managed to build more decent quality free bad big council houses than the ninety five labor government done along the way they look at it would be that big inequality could mean a rise of the far right and immigration is certainly debated nonstop on our screens in relation to the brakes of debate you appear to correlate lower rates of immigration to britain with falling g.d.p. growth. if you look at immigration over the last century human beings move all around the planet trying to stop them doesn't work immigration tolls are incredibly ineffective what stops people coming or staying is if there are no jobs they don't

come so the poor parts of britain don't have immigrants. but also if you have a more equal society which means fewer jobs of the bottom you get less immigrants on health care you say the worst record cameron may have the worst record of any post where ministers know that the health care. crisis is unbelievable it's the cuts in social has the most devastating half of all those other all social workers he's a turn of for half an hour at the file person's house once a week just to check the handful of the bottom stairs those jobs are gone males in wales and another being delivered. and the really odd thing about it is that the biggest effect has been on people in their eighty's and late seventy's and this group will be majority middle class to live that long.
