so quickly from one hundred years ago you can see that changes are actually normal changes what we should expect what you have to ask is what will people look at in the future the where during now and say they didn't realize how in human that was and i'm not really trying to guess the future because you can do that i mean is an example of countries that are ahead of us in time if you like and they get better results but also their children are happy and mental health happier and i also get to look at what we're doing now which i suspect will be seen as as ridiculous in future and at the heights of inequality countries do the most ridiculous things and his well being i mean the big rise in inequality in germany was in the one nine hundred thirty s. i mean inequality rises are not necessarily good news they can relate to fascist governments but they only have a kind of bad news is after the peak in normally takes twenty years before you even

notice things getting better it's not a sudden ivana you know it is just you're no longer seeing the rich taking more and more but you don't suddenly see life improve for everybody it's the bad news is it's a very slow process going down the slope again president i don't thank you. after the break. food banks for kids as children in the u.k. begin this summer holidays we speak to as you know feeding britain about one year the hoff a million emergency food parcels went to children and home inside rates higher than new york we ask a reformed gang member how to hold seemingly spiraling increases in knife crime rate for the wood on the streets of england and wales well the simple coming up in today's going on the ground.

trumps imitation to putin to visit the white house is postponed putin turns around inviting trump to moscow as trump out of a grand plan regarding russia or is he merely chibi a campaign promise this and much much more efficient across time. what politicians do so. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some will want to. have to go on to be pros this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.

welcome back in the first half we heard from oxford professor danny dorling about inequality leading to the earlier hundred thirty thousand children being homeless last christmas but how have british children now on summer holiday been affected by years of austerity brought on by bailing out the city of london's bank because joining me now is rodeo girls really she is the national director of the group feeding britain rosie thanks for coming on the show so nothing more welcome to durham and summer holidays but your organization telling a different story that summer is not going to be fun for many millions in britain millions of children so course the summer holiday should be a really positive time it should be a time that children in their families look back on with very happy memories but unfortunately for a lot of children in the u.k. that isn't the case the school holidays can be a time that it's a lot of pressure on families financially children who get their free school meals during the term time suddenly that support falls away and families are faced finding anywhere between thirty and forty pounds a week extra they didn't have to before so it can be

a time of real hardship and worry for families as well but the good news is that lots of community groups around the country supporting children running activity sessions and meals and last week the government announced that they are funding two million pounds this summer to support those clubs which is a really positive move two million pounds across england and wales across the united kingdom syrians across england and it's a pilot failing is the price of a one bedroom flat in central london we could always we are always asking for more but it's a really positive start in the first time there has been national government funding for holiday provision and it's a pilot program so they'll be looking at what comes out of the summer what can we learn about the evidence and what works and hopefully using that as the basis for larger scale funding in the future and when do we clear it's called feeding britain you just mentioned lifeline we're talking about the fact that children would start of if you will or a.b. organization was not able to help them this. hoarders we certainly see families in very difficult situations families obviously under financial pressure what we see

a lot of the time is parents skipping meals and selves to make sure their childrens are fed which is obviously a desperate situation to be in but it's not just about the food millions of children this is. it's a huge problem the all party parliamentary group on hunger last year estimated that there are three million children in the u.k. at risk of hunger during the school holiday so these are big numbers and we're really seeing a spike during the school holidays one of our projects in the northeast started recently and saw double the number of children turning up on the first day of provision that they expected i was talking to a food bank in cornwall recently where the food bank manager there in the on the first day of the school holidays provided food for eight hundred meals now last year in the whole six week summer holiday they provided three thousand meals so they're seeing a really worrying spike and they're really concerned about the situation for the families they work with this and the shadow education minister m. a little book claims that these problems are due to a direct will there are

a direct result of the removal of early intervention services so it was the downgrading of sure stuart. on the coalface do your people actually see that there is i was there telling you or is it just it's always been like this well there's always been poverty but i think when you look at food once you start to look into the causes underlying it it's not just about food it's giving someone a meal isn't the solution we have to look at why someone ended up in that situation in the first place and a lot of the reasons why people are finding themselves in hardship are to do with problems of the benefits system so either incorrect payments incorrect calculations benefit delays or a lot of for a lot of families they're in work with their own insecure contracts or low incomes and they're really struggling to make ends meet so there is a bigger picture there and it's feeding britain as well as trying to support families in the near future we're also trying to look at how do we solve some of those underlying causes by working with the politicians to try and bring about legislation to change the. universal credit. driesum is new policies

since you've been prime minister punishing people sanctions against people in benefit to encourage them into work is that helping well unfortunately we're seeing a lot of people affected by universal credit and sanctions coming to emergency food project it is one of the quite significant drivers of proving doing well i think what we're calling for is ways to improve that system some of the very practical concrete changes that could be changed around universal concept credit sanctions to make it work better so one of the things for example we're calling for a yellow card system and sanctions so for a first offense or a first issue someone's issued a warning rather than being sanctioned straightaway because if you cut of someone's benefits straight away it really does put that family into a lot of obviously wouldn't a good anywhere would have to have a clear. break. into and the whole of britain is. giving its post policy responsibility to says food banks like the ones your members

are involved in they're not. symptomatic of poverty they are symptomatic of cash flow problems as i say i think there is a bigger picture here that we really need to be looking at i mean the food banks are run by community volunteers it's it's a community response to a need that's grown it's poverty or aids or poverty to me it's absolutely poverty the reason but that someone finds themselves starting to think for food is because the pressure on the household income has breached such an extent that they've had to seek emergency assistance so to support those people yes they need good quality food and dignified way but we also need to look at why they're ending up in a situation and look at this is stomach issues and i think those are issues for politicians feeding britain was established by a cross party group of 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 a situation and i know you have to be bipartisan or on the issue as of n.g.o.s but

right now jacob riis morg who is the favorite to replace to resume the reason that he ever wanted to do that clearly saying and you're saying three million children the food banks are uplifting. 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 issues and 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. goes we wasn't there long 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 dean and march twenty eighth to me now 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 daily of two cities paris and london where there's really a rough start to life as you know i was born in front i came here. in corydon. you know grew up and i saw you know the similarities from paris to london. crime. gangs you know groups of people forming in groups minorities especially and 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 i joined a gang or i became a victim and so due to that fact i the only way for me to you know escape. the victim i victimization was daring to again you know so. 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 schools definitely better in my day. now i think what is happening is this so-called gangs or gangsters are actually people that are prisoners prisoners to 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 thus 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 mainstream media portrayals of this isn't deserve isolated from mainstream britain i think is actually due to the for they probably want to. put it under the carpet so they don't really want to show what is really happening and what is happening is making headlines so media of our. day or fuel in fear 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're entire generations of us how deep it is and this it comes it when i rode 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 or go 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 or warsi is i think that these young men. intrapreneur really but they just not know it and they only thought that the only way for them to gain money is in the 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 of just said or these the police have said that banning drill music videos on you tube will go on but gang violence or if you think of it i don't personally thought that banning jar of music. the crease due to the fact that. joe music is actually an outlet for certain young males 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 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 been said there has been hidden i know it's coming to light and now it's really prevalent.

but 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. but what if they successfully sweep it on the carpet and these figures just go up and up in the segregated areas of britain when we have you know war on the streets given longer 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 schools navy bases and told the weapons children he would talk to a social media will feel when a forty eight years to the day of the death of suspected communists hollywood actor francis pharma played by jessica lange in the oscar nominated frances.

briggs it remains divisive as ever with reports now stating the u.k. army is prepared to fly in food and medicine in case of a no deal with the. fear mongering others say the u.k.'s effectively setting itself . shocking post-war practice in canada has been exposed for the authorities for thousands of single women to give up their babies we hear from one of the victims. there was no conversation about 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. therapists in the

united states say the president created a new anxiety disorder that is democrats remain convinced russia tampered with voting machines something even the cia now rejects. you're watching international. god help us a british m.p. has tweeted in response to reports that the u.k. army will fly in food medicine and fuel should the country crash out of the e.u. without a trade deal or the military has since said that it's not received any such formal instructions the news has created concern with the country deeply divided over brags it. has the details. with this works a deadline fast approaching it seems the uncertainty about what exactly is going to be achieved come march next year has been speaking at the specially in light of the

reports that have been circulating here in the british press over the last couple of days talking about how the british army could be involved if there is a new deal breck's it in terms of helping provide supplies such as few food and medicine and certainly this is something that would usually be associated with an emergency and of course reaction. have been very swift to these reports some saying they're shocked and others refusing to be manipulated with what they call scare tactics god help us this is not coming from remain is this is not project fear pro bricks of ministers a drawing a blueprint for the army to deliver food fuel and medicine if we leave you 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 a free trade agreement which will tank the economy look like a good deal is beginning to work well in reaction to all of this we have seen

british prime minister theresa made was always said no deal is better than a bad deal basically try to calm down the public when it comes to all of this often being worried about preparations that we're making i would say that people should take reassurance and comfort from the fact that the government is saying we're in a negotiation we're working for a good deal i believe we can get a good deal but actually it's right that we say because we don't know what the outcome is going to be we think it's going to be a good one we're working for a good one but let's prepare for every eventuality while a threesome a there is obviously trying to convince the public that everything is going to be all right we do know that downing street have also said they've decided to stop drip feeding information in the time to come about some of the details about contingency plan. in case of a no deal bracket and of course we've also said that there are no. the british army in such situations following those reports that have stirred up quite

a bit of trouble however with all of that said it seems the public is not quite clear that the government knows exactly what it is they're doing in this situation seems to be. kind of you know reaction to everything. anyone in london or anywhere has really across from it really is if you think officials that are in charge of this process have done a good job so far figuring out what's going to happen and negotiating with the. you know what i mean there's been no real negotiation and it's been quite a. just one party even involving. you know jamie for getting a real understanding of how this will affect the country itself those are some opinions of the people we talked to here in london earlier today but we also know that there's been a latest sky did a poll that was released that said that only ten of the people surveyed believe that the government was doing

a good job when it comes to broach it and as many as seventy eight percent thought the complete opposite. the canadian government knowledge very disturbing practice that dates back to just after the second world war when i married women were forced to give up their babies and it over to married couples some new mothers were even lied to and told their children had been stillborn we spoke to one of the victims of the decades long practice that was meant to promote traditional families this is they found out i was pregnant they mark my records b.f.a. baby for adoption. i was a fifteen year old girl pregnant i was pregnant from a sexual assault. and. there was no conversation 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. the healthy one

haired blue eyed beautiful baby. you will forget the child go home get married and have other children or if not get a puppy to. that is what i was told get up puppy. it was a very abusive in there. we were isolated from our mike i was isolated from my family as my community my sisters my parents i was completely left alone. my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe and my parents

believed they would get deported if they didn't follow that. what the government wanted at maternity homes mothers were routinely denied their right to see holder feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know where their delivers a boy or girl being told well it's none of your business to hold my daughter i actually had to ask three times and i first i said it quietly and then they started a little louder and then the last time that i asked i had to yell and i had to yell bring me my baby now. and then the nurse stopped looked at the doctor for permission and i was quite surprised that the nurse would have to ask for permission for me to hold my own daughter since i am her legal guardian and my daughter in my arms and. and then they really went. black i started to get i started to pass out and then

they took her away from me. i met my daughter she she actually found me. so she phoned me. and she said. you don't know who i am and as soon as she said that i knew who she was. we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other getting familiar with each other building some trust she needed to feel safe because our children were told that there was something wrong with us they were told and alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes.
