you know that's what they do they they look at it in terms of its stupidity and that's what that's how logan roy runs his empire because he looks through something is as stupid i haven't seen the end of it so i don't know whether there are any forces there to break up the power of families like this well i think there are and i think that's what we see we see all the threats and in that suite see it throughout and logan's one belief is in the family it's something that you go you know on a hiding to nothing there powell but he's absolutely i mean i said this to jesse actually we were working on the show i says when i was in the there's a whole scene when we do family intervention when we have a psychotherapist who comes in to us was on its and it's and it's because the family is getting such bad press and logan agrees to it because it's a it's a press thing but. in the middle of it he does talk about his family but he does say he loves his family and i said to jesse i said no jesse tell me is that true
4:01 pm
and he said absolutely true you know and so not way you know blood is very much thicker than water and i'm f. you know but it's it's the family going to see what trump does you know what god says what my doubt god says what those families do day they do come together they do congeal in some kind of way. because they're not realize what their power base is you know otherwise it becomes too diminished i mean even though he's he's the individualists think he knows that there are people who have to do the job in order to make the unit work well episode two is going out in britain on thursday brian cox thank you thank you after the break could there be a link between the bank bailout caused austerity and the death rates for those in english police custody we speak of all the met police chief inspector and great uncle of a russian child died at the hands of police last summer well this is more coming up but they're going underground.
4:02 pm
first. of all those. georgia shows don't google so diageo on the list first thanks. to my. choice. to tell you. that. the school you. ate today detail rarely do most bridget does. something she was the she knew. well. was not. a neutral one of us will be.
4:03 pm
for me that's the truth of. the weirdos but it's a rhythm to go with they were enough for us to get george going that one of the most of those in the us to whom i mean for the. most remote wonderful smile at. church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the
4:04 pm
bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not. highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it does no good as the end then. it is for. the.
4:05 pm
welcome back deaths in police custody of reach the highest in a decade according to britain's independent office for police conduct twenty three people died during or after police custody in twenty seventeen alone one of the names not on that list is twenty year old londoner rochelle chiles earlier this year following an investigation by the i o. p. c. the crown prosecution service ruled his death was an accident no charges will that we brought against the officer that restrained him someone who has. speech of the findings of the official in question investigation is russian charles's great uncle rod charles he is a former metropolitan police chief inspector with thirty years experience is designed trained and applied specialist restraint tactics he maintains correct use of tactics would have prevented the avoidable death of his nephew inspector things
4:06 pm
were going on going underground a year since your great nephew twenty year old russian charles died after being restrained by police the police force you worked for why do you reject the inquest verdict of the death was an accident the rejection is is quite straightforward i did it many weeks before the inquest sat before the jury was sworn in because i spoke to the lead investigator on several occasions and i saw pointed out a number of issues which i considered were floored in the investigation. i was for both disregarded in terms of some of the issues i raised my take is that bearing in mind that i haven't investigated background. they want to get to the bottom of it and as to why we could have worked together i would do nothing to impede their investigation i would hopefully think with the knowledge that i have an experience i have i'll be able to enhance the quality investigation it proved to me to be the case that they didn't want to engage with me and i think they saw me as
4:07 pm
a distraction or maybe they thought prejudiced a case of already covered that that wouldn't be the case but above all if you bring a flawed investigation into an inquest then the process will be flawed and that is exactly what has happened i said it was going to be a predetermined outcome that's exactly what has happened every before you get to the floor just to be clear your decades of experience as a chief inspector at the met it wasn't that that emotional connection to the russian your great nephew before the in-store c.c.t.v. video was suddenly appeared on the media actually you tended to side with the police not matter side with the police but i understand the question on the twenty second of july rashaun died i learnt about it during the day. he died late at night or early hours of the morning and my assumption was well i mean of course it is sad
4:08 pm
and my assumption was then the officer probably did what he had to do in the circumstances twenty odd hours later a niece of mine said uncle look at the some of the c.c.t.v. what's on you tube and having viewed the youtube footage. it changed everything it was clear to me that it was not. a straightforward detention and it's clear to me as it was then and now that it's unavoidable. death with mind my nephew encountered is the inquest the officer known as b. x. forty seven it was really done twenty one different safety training courses he done emergency first aid before he was restrained yes he made a mistake by forgetting to turn on his body camera forgot to do any breathing checks and forgot to go an ambulance but. you know he had the experience and he was individual a member of the territorial support group b x four seven is at the highest level of
4:09 pm
training he receives regular training i used to be a member of the territory support group as a sergeant when i was promoted on i was a trainer designing and delivering training to terril support territorial support group and then subsequently i was responsible for deploying them too numerous. to go in for me he has received a significant amount of training in terms of the pursuit i have no qualms of course he must push you people you suspect might be committing crimes but i have serious criticisms and concerns about almost everything he did once he made contact so something wrong with the training here or something wrong with the way b.x. forty seven i think the police training is at very high level he i don't think it will have changed significantly from the type of training that i received. i think it's about the way in which the officer decided to employ and deploy himself and
4:10 pm
his tactics at the time of the training mission. and he was interviewed shortly after he was interviewed in the twenty second of july he was interviewed until the fourth of december to may that's another aspect of the flawed investigation it's to me almost unheard of any explanation two years to where the delay i cannot fathom out why but it certainly tells me there is a flawed investigation to leave such a long gap in between the the incident and the investigation i don't know how you would expect to get a sora and robust oversight and insight into what place now you know the two the use of force expert is evidence the inquest judge used to advise the jury to take into account deciding where the russians that was an accident so surely that should give you more confidence i know both individuals one i know better than the other but we were serving at the same time i did thirty years one did thirty one years and the other forty four but the the latter is currently still serving with the
4:11 pm
police my concerns are simply this i think that they or i know from personal experience that they are competent accomplished trainers. but their contribution to this case they are neither impartial they are not objective they have not been objective logs they certainly are being seen to be impartial because they are from the same force why they certainly are not independent but why would that be why would the who chose members of the metropolitan police britain's largest police force to investigate themselves in effect i guess it would be investigation of police conduct falls to the i o. p.c. so it is a new body replacing the another body is changes name so i leave the c. up until january can a have seen we branded in the reconfigured so to speak even though the investigator didn't change the team didn't change but it's change of top top level i want to be fair to them because they need to be given time to show that they can be invest
4:12 pm
independent investigators but the signs are good the i.p.c.c. and the police complaints authority that preceded them words were flawed and all the signs point to that the i o. p. c. follow in a similar tack they had a choice of over forty different forces to go to to choose experts to comment on what we see on the c.c.t.v. and what they had on the body one video and they chose to go with. individuals who have integra links to the very force under scrutiny it's bizarre or your reaction to these latest police custody death cases highest level for a decade disproportionately people of color and with mental illness i understand that your great view is not in the figures because of the statistical issue with deaths at the hands of police only he and others are not in the figures or x.
4:13 pm
and the cost is another case another problem a five year old dieted police we don't get all these learned yet but the reason they're not in the figures i understand is. because they weren't formally told that they were under arrest and had the. right road the rights read to them notwithstanding the fact that everything else that took place in terms of the levels of force the use of handcuffs the levels of restraint applied. they were. deprived of their liberty i think it's semantics and i think it's statistical mental manipulation that the i o. p.c. are are toying with because to my mind death following police contact should be the term and the umbrella that we look at my concerns is the levels of investigate the quality of the investigations less so the statistics are the
4:14 pm
investigations conducted by the i o. p.c. to good standard i sadly i can say this i should also mention james brown a twenty nine year old in leicestershire years in the middle so deb recalls of the ngo inquest sturdy de facto to a bell of the city of london is a contributory factor to these sorts of deaths mental health service cuts obviously denying that this in any way absolves. policemen and women of duty of care is that one element in this larger case that you say of our training or i think it is austerity is it brings us into the how we manage those poor souls who are mentally unwell and they're in need of specialist care specialist help for many many years currently and in my time in the service. the responsibility for managing mentally unwell people were forced in the police well the police are highly trained
4:15 pm
but they're not trained to the depth and breath of specialist care that is required to to look after these. did. these unwell people it is unfair to the unwell people it is unfair to foist that responsibility onto the police service. and if we were jeev inspector robson after twenty eight crash for a number of years did you see it on the front lines i think it was it has got progressively worse but it's been there for decades police are being left to deal with. mentally unwell people now if you encounter mentally and well person on the in a public place obviously the police will will take steps to deal with them and get them to a place of safety what becomes problematic is the officers deal with them on the street get them to a place of safety yet their responsibility tends to stay with the police sometimes individuals who are in well in hospitals. being treated. for
4:16 pm
their psychiatric needs have police officers called in to support the medical experts that's not a domain for the police service i must be absolutely clear about what i'm saying here nothing that i am saying is anti police i have no time to smolder life when it is absolutely no no time for anybody who is who is anti police because they suggest that the police can do nothing right and they tanishq excellent officers who don't work day in day out to do good work in a timely system with this label the flip side of it is i also reject those people who are pro police is another extreme simply because those individuals say the police can do no wrong it isn't about trying to vilify the force that i am proud to have served it's about getting to the bottom and also invited the police to work
4:17 pm
with me and other groups who are keen to minimise i say minimise because you'll never stamp it out i mean in the event that somebody gets brought gets arrested they might actually generally become unwell that may not be the custody officers fault. but i'm talking about these clearly cases where high levels of force not merited but they are used on individuals and then the headlines say the person became unwell and they and life is pronounced extinct that's something i have to do something about former chief inspector thank you and that's it for the show will be back on wednesday a hundred years and about which made me arguably scorecards in the ending of the first world war by german socialists keep in touch via social media we'll be back on wednesday forty four years to the day that richard nixon responsible for wounding killing or displacing tens of millions announced his resignation on t.v. .
4:18 pm
on this edition of crossfire we discuss whether detente is possible even desirable why isn't it a good idea to get along with russia and much much more. with opposed to some of this there was a. split. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of. first
4:19 pm
offense. that they just stepped. into the free will i mean. they'd. be. like. me. i don't know maybe they'll get a make or. break. ground war. but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to go right to be precise it's like them before you know more people. interested
4:20 pm
in the waters in the. city. the headlines this brussels hits back as the deadline for the first round of u.s. sanctions against iran is the treaty is measures to protect its firms working with tara. meanwhile donald trump again outlines plans to create a military force in space though the pentagon appears less than enthusiastic about a possible star wars program and we catch up with wolf and three united with their families after the children were taken from russia by their radicalized parents who went to join islamic. i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my
4:21 pm
girls could come back home she doesn't let me go anywhere. hello welcome good evening it's just gone six o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. now washington has announced the first round of sanctions against iran which it hopes will weaken the country's leadership however the move may not be going as. the u.s. hopes let's find out why and speak to a couple of our correspondents american is in washington and peter oliver is in berlin for us let's start with you just outlined them what these sanctions mean and just what effectively specifically will be affected. well the first round of sanctions will take effect tuesday around midnight u.s. eastern time now president from has been slamming the iran deal since his campaign days so when he officially with the true from the agreement i'm
4:22 pm
a of this year that actually pave the way to reimpose think but what we're going to see on tuesday is the first round which means. trading metals including precious ones limiting the flow of iranian currency it's going to target iran's automobile industry but the second phase which is going to hit iran even worse will hit in november and now this will go after iran energy sector as well as related activities including the shipping of oil in and out of the country so we're just going to have to see how the first round of sanctions devastate iran economy and then does have to see what happens. in washington is embedded in for us following the response from europe but it's a quota system response to has been well there's been no secrets the big
4:23 pm
differences between the european union and the current u.s. government over a number of issues they fell out over the decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the fellow out over the u.s. is unilateral decision to pull out of the paris climate agreement however it's this decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal that's really ruffled quite a few feathers here in europe among senior diplomats their response to this new tranche of sanctions all this first tranche of sanctions was a unanimous no. we are determined to protect european economic operators in legitimate business with iran this is why european union's updated blocking statute enters into force under seventh of august to protect e.u. companies doing legitimate business with iran for an impact of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions but what is the blocking statute now it's a piece of legislation it was originally written back in one nine hundred ninety
4:24 pm
six it was designed to allow european companies to get round the side of an eight u.s. embargo on cuba however the legislation has been extensively rewritten earlier this year to specifically target or be able to target sanctions against iran what it would mean is that european companies have to pay no heed to u.s. sanctions also they would any court rulings against them would be notified in the e.u. size however what that doesn't really take into account is that a lot of these major companies that are doing business with iran and the east pushing to do business with iran as part of that deal they also have major operations in the united states as well and those operations in the u.s. they wouldn't be covered by the blocking start to it and it could leave them open to potential penalties that there thing is we don't actually know because the blocking statute is never been fully implicated we have to wait and see what the
4:25 pm
reaction would be from washington and what moves they could potentially make what we have heard though is from the iranian side the iranian foreign ministry saying they're very happy to see that the e.u. is standing alongside them to do the entire world has shown it disagrees with the u.s. policies against iran talk to anyone anywhere in the world and they will tell you that netanyahu trump and been some are isolated not iran. but the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei old has said that the sanctions are necessary if iran's to be brought back to what he calls the table of normal nations they've got to behave like a normal country that's the ask is pretty simple we think that most other countries everyone with whom i spoke understands that they need to behave normally and they understand that this is a country that threatens them it would seem though that none of those countries that secretary pompei spoke to were e.u. nations as they've as the european union in brussels has pushed forward with this
4:26 pm
blocking statuette it's the best weapon they have in their arsenal to try and tackle us sanctions against e.u. companies doing business with iran how affected of effective it will be though well that's anybody's guess at the moment as this is new ground we're entering into. sure ok thanks peter peter over there in berlin and also some conference in washington earlier thanks. but let's get the thoughts now of dr member he's an international economist professor of energy and economics and he's with us now and you're very welcome i'd like to get your opinion on what he has done today to try to enhance these protective measures for european firms do you think they go far enough because as we've heard in that report european firms could still have their u.s. assets sanctioned or frozen. the european union made it clear that they would stay in the iran nuclear agreement and they would
4:27 pm
not comply with us sanctions against iran and therefore they will continue to buy iranian and crude of course some european companies who have a lot of business interests in the united states might be hesitant but it seems that the european union has illustration to be able to protect them and retaliate against american companies if the u.s. administration impose sanctions against these companies so in my opening and i would say that judging by my research i would say the sanctions u.s. sanctions against iran are doomed to fail and that iran will not lose a single barrel of oil from its oil exports so you believe that even if in november
4:28 pm
when the tougher sanctions come into force and iran america hopes will not be able to export its oil you don't believe that that will happen you believe that will be negated by what the has done today. the rope. will sub for support of the nuclear deal and will continue to work with iran remember that the sanctions before twenty fifteen succeeded because of tourism's one the european union in board sanctions on oil cargo ships and on insurance companies to prevent them from carrying iranian crude and of course there were all saw the american sanctions own banking however the european union this time is against the sanctions and of course a new development since march twenty eighth in the introduction of the petro yuan
4:29 pm
which has virtually none if i had the infective ness of american sanctions and allowed a terror that you've route via which iran will be bid for its or in for instance any oil it sells to china it will receive money in petro yuan and oh it sells to the. it will be paid or you will furthermore there are barter agreements between turkey india russia and iran so they can bypass the american sanctions america hopes that iran will be isolated by the sanctions that they are going to impose do you think the opposite might happen it could end up the us being the isolated party here given what you've just said. i tell you one thing the united to steer things it leaves on
4:30 pm
a different planet from the other nations of the world for instance they are imposing that ifs intrusive that is that if against and still they have the temerity to go and ask china not to imported oil how what kind of logic is that if this américa hold. up. ok look fascinating talking to we're going to have to leave it there that was dr mandy solomon a international economist and professor of energy economics too we appreciate your time thank you. now know the news that has been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was aired we launched a campaign to find any relatives of those children and several people came forward to say that they had record.
