those carrots is that they are heading to a some account that's an activity the ministry of education is doing in the summertime they bring kids to schools to do activities courts and such so that's that imported statement about the bus and who was incited. the way it could be a legitimate military action there is knowledge it is see in attacking civilians who are not picking up aunts and one not fighting in front lines civilians children lens war men they must not be targeted in areas where there are nor clashes or where they cannot be seen as hostile or participating in this in this in this war so no we cannot we cannot see how this is a legitimate view british britain exports billions of pounds whether warplanes and bombs and terrorism is as we have the one of the highest standards of arms export

systems in the world so i cannot see why saudi is saying that children are being used as a human shield. action that would be used against those children. actually what we are concerned essential then is the right of children to survive to survive these can this is a more well more concentrated and focused on the humanitarian needs of celiac as it is and children most importantly in these these these war and muni's conflicts so yeah tell me about the the very a treatment center near there there's a main hospital there. yes i was actually there and heard eight and i heard the explosion although i was very far away in the in the other part of the city they suppose it was very big it was to suppose and heard one of the another five b.n. thursday. so the explosion happened to one in front of the hospital the other one is in the backyard of the hospital and luckily the second explosion there was no

people around but the first one hitting the front of the hospital it was civilians around there were model cyclists who were waiting for customers to be suited to ride with them they were actually pregnant woman who was going into the room the the hospital she was just couldn't get in of the bus on the street vendors those were the casualties dozens of people fell between killed and injured. fifteen minutes after also another explosion happened in the fishery market the center official market just across the street from the hospital west. so it was massive and it was bodies on the streets and that was that was actually part of this is the save the children's initial statement said there were explosions didn't specify whether they were airstrikes which initially seemed to support the accounts of this was by the hooting community was it a war plane strike it was an explosion of a bomb well nor an expert on starts to deter mine what was the cause but

explosions what we are concerned about in the civilians will pay a casualty now was that an f. side was a propelled shell we cannot say we can actually we cannot have expected to say so and what we are more concerned about is civilians. president obama won a robert f. kennedy humanitarian award in the past few days he of course began selling more weapons as the arabia there than at any time in the seventy three year saudi u.s. alliance just explained how long this has been going on in the country that the conflict has been now for almost four years is yes next march it will be four years to all of conflict now and i've been in had a definite it's one of the most vulnerable cities will have been very severely impacted by this conflict because of the city a small city where people lived

a very simple life there relying on daily pain jobs now and with the war and the conflict and yes i'm stating until. today as an example of what's happening in different parts of the country now in today that we have small people who have small jobs they debate ops we have public sector employees and staff and private sector will be let go and public sector staff who haven't been paid for more than soon years now we have electricity who is not a dinner for more than two years in a data we're talking about the city where the climate is ninety three fahrenheit degree average highest temperature in the date that's for five months in summer which is right now we're talking about people not having it addition in not having looked to city cholera outbreak now could they damage the burrs perfect perfect condition for cholera to spread an outbreak because the hygiene of sanitation and our base is filling the streets there are no electricity heat and people are not

the people are manners they're not getting the portion of foods they need each day because they have to cope with this with this conflict and they're not pavement they called with it by reducing force in the food they eat every day the quarter per day does not functional hundred percent the total for the. when it's function one hundred percent that's more than ten thousand people working there those people have the i'm talking about divers custom players agents people who look at them under databases come to the seaport so they lost their jobs so you find people desperate for securing the little food they can in order to survive if the conflict now the conflict is in the south of the day that two kilometers and the south for data that comes elect is be unbearable to the city people will be trapped inside their houses they won't be able to go out and secure their daily food and they literally stopped at that. the electricity is gone with the extra sheeting heat

will not all probably they'll be not all our water so it will be a disaster so what we caught for is a peaceful resolution to this conflict or the gothic bodies the un the international community must bring this conflict to an end beastly i know it's a probably difficult for you to appreciate that they're on the front lines but britain even as of last year made ten times more in arms sales to saudi arabia than agave in aid to yemen can you appreciate while you go over the confliction the amount of money and how profitable it is to sell weapons that are being used the damage that hospital infrastructure i want to share this incident in a drainage trainee is a city south of her beda it's a small city in village where classes erupted on the thirteenth of july it wrapped it around the city for four days but then it teaches insight the build ups right inside their house and we kept receiving cries and calls for help from families and

children who are injured actually people were not able to leave their houses until the morning and when they left they have to walk they had to walk fifteen miles on thought before they could find transportation. we responded to one of those families an admitted an endemic it appears all get into hospital his body was sprayed enchantments. his brother who was a newly burnt he suffocated from the small bed sesson example small example of a ladder much destructive scale if the conflict reaches today the city now was just a small example where people soul. what is the suffering is like when under attack as a matter thank you. thank you after the break on its thirtieth anniversary the director of heathers on whether a targets of the characters played by we don't

a writer and christian slater is a little like donald trump and eighty two years to the month of the arrival of the international brigade stuff like defacto u.k. u.s. backed fascists in spain could catalonia now finally be reborn told a similar coming about to have going underground. this is my love hate relationship with the united kingdom. and the a lot of it because it's shambolic and fraudulent. and but he got it because thousands tens of thousands of people had their lives destroyed by r.b.s. . first. most of the wall first. flourished in the jungle so document on the first thanks.

so much i must. tell you. that. eat. it too most rigid those groups are some of the she. knew. that they were. bruising us to whom we preferred. solutions or little to smile at.

welcome back with the top u.k. teaching union saying this week that school funding is in crisis tourism is government has decided to bring up rosy views of taxpayer subsidized upperclass private schools like eton but of course the poor and rosy child recollections thanks to hollywood have long been promoted about the state sector one film though you believe ruined it all made thirty years ago this month heather is soaring winona ryder and christian slater at a club and violence to the rape. in the era mixed markets for k. we released we went to the british film institute of love in south bank to talk to its director independent spirit award winner michael lehman. reviews it is. michael thanks for being on going underground thirty years since this film i'm

going to was what you think of has is thirty years old i can't believe anybody still watching this movie thirty years on is very strange to look at it now and say oh my god those were teenagers thirty years ago. but i think that i think what we were talking about in the movie and what we were addressing in our own bizarre humorous way is still relevant to a modern audience and the movie i think holds up more than i would have ever expected and i want to get into some of the themes of the secular but in britain we had frank clucks he wrote letter to brezhnev with some bleak films about what it was like in the eighty's deregulation of financial dealings happening at the same time as this you have the breakfast club but all those of the joint news films and so on but this film is considerably dog while being humorous yeah my friends and i all of us making heathers we we like john hughes movies we thought they were very funny and that they presented a kind of

a light and happy view of teenage life and high school life they did deal with in many ways they dealt with more serious issues than earlier teen comedies might have but there was a sort of a rosy outlook to the john hughes movies and most of the teen films of the time and for me and dan waters who wrote the script for heathers and the group that made it we thought ok fine those movies they are what they are there are plenty entertaining but we want to get down to what things are really about and express the humor that was much darker. which really reflected our sensibilities so if if you can remember when a writer finds itself in this school where there's this many classist in which is because other films also tackle i think that this idea that teenagers that the social structures of high school in the ways teenagers treat each other they preach sage and reflect what's going to happen in later life and they are a departure from what we think of as childhood where things are kind of kept kind

of you know safe and things become not so safe in high school and americans is as i think we all probably know or have figured out we're obsessed with the high school years as somehow being emblematic of everything that happens in life and you hear these cliches you know well hollywood is just like high school american politics are just like high school well the fact is that we form our ideas in the states i think probably everywhere but in high school where you're you're classified as part of a group and somehow you fall into certain social structures and people treat each other certain ways and these are the kind of things that we were addressing in the movie . or way to address the american politics or like the plot of heathers that really is joke ugly would doctor the wave in political analysis inevitably people are going to say could it be a sad. now adult in washington d.c. we could be cool people the geeks yes right right the bullying which is something

that people talk about in merican politics these days yes sure these are these are relevant issues i suppose although when a writer that comes out top at the end you think don't trump would say you know he's one of the jokes being hit by the by the winona ryder's of this will unfairly i don't know we'd have to ask mr trump and see which which of the heathers characters he identifies with most i mean there's corruption right through this school that would have a right or interest of slaves or aryan and it meets the television media. even yet some weight pretty dim of you you would take. to eighty retreats high schools right this was something but part of the theme of the movie was that that the way adults and the way the outside world viewed what these kids were doing was so disconnected from what was actually going on and so it was an early form of look at how things get twisted in the media and you know that the the girl who was the

meanest girl in school was celebrated for being great once she died and once people thought she committed suicide so they said oh there was so much more going on inside her head than we ever knew about and the obvious irony of it is no none of that was going on inside her head at all she was just mean and even the news even the school you scrape tried to jump on the bandwagon there was a africa or appeal across the eighty's were famous for the live so and have a good appeal and everything but the even the school magazine is saying you know let's go for the sensational headlines yes that was and that was also a nod to something that happens as part of high school life you see the editor of the school paper is really just the editor of the paper in order to get something that will help them get into a better college so they're doing sensational journalism with an agenda that is their own personal agenda it's not anything that has to do with what the news is and the sense of entitlement to them and some of the richer students talking about ivy league schools and and money no object it's yes.

you know the social structures of high school we tried to represent them in a way that reflected this standard cliches unity of your geeks you have your jocks you have your pretty girls you have the rich kids you know we laid that out as it as it has always been laid out in high school movies but we took a little bit of a darker more satirical turn happy with the way mainstream media then just wanted to target the idea of school shootings and suicide literally that kind of violence had. it happened in american schools at that point it wasn't even it wasn't even on the table it was nothing we thought about and i think they missed the point there are all these other issues you know i you know part of what we were saying was that the media is quick to label things a certain way and people are quick to jump on stuff and take an interpretation that may be removed from what's actually going on and that was part of the irony and satire of the movie that holds true today holds true in many other contexts as

well because i think you're on the record as saying it's a film about suicide it's not no it's not about it it was all about. what are you working on. i've been doing a lot of what i think to be really good quality television in the last seven or eight years because that's that's where i think the kind of movie making that i was most interested in before has now gravitated to t.v. so i just finished i finished a show called snow fall which is an f.x. show it's terrific it's trivial show actually set in one thousand nine hundred eighty three in los angeles about the rise of the crack cocaine trade and it's a fascinating show i don't know how much it gets out of the out of the states but it's really good we certainly cover journalists gary webb's articles about the rise of it out at that do when you're in the industry that people know to even go you in a way made a path for this kind of dog because in popular culture rule films i do i get

a bit of that which i'm very happy to do it's always funny to me if i step on set to do something in a and a young want to be filmmaker type somebody who's working on saturdays doing something else as you know i really like your movies and a lot to me that's great you always want to hear that but when it's you know that i really like the dark twisted humor of the movies i go great that's for that's what i like to hear like a living thank you thank you. the full k. restoration of had this is out now in the you. on demand around the world from the twentieth well for decades the spanish civil war is being tackled in the visual arts from communist painter public outrage jeremy corbyn supporter ken loach today the leader of the largest economy and i'm going to merkel is in madrid and her meetings lie arguably in the shadow not only of britain's shameful role in aiding general franco but today's imprisonment of catalonia as democratically elected politicians the entire history is chronicled in catalonia reborn how catalonia took

on the corrupt spanish state and the legacy of franco by george caravan and chris bambery chris joins me now chris welcome do going underground here often how is it that catalonia is in a sense the story of europe as we know it today i think it's a story of what the european union is. last october you remember when they tried to hold a referendum which the partner catherine popularized in catalunya on independence from spain the spanish government sent in paramilitary police to break up a fresh attack police stations to seize ballot boxes to attack voters and there was this complete silence from the european union about what was happening and i think since then it's going to gradually realize that really for the small nations of the regions of the europe the european union doesn't really work and it doesn't really work it's run by the big states and then run essentially by germany and germany and france to the extent of worried about what would happen if catalonia broke free

again self-determination the brown vacations that would have elsewhere and essentially sided with spain in repressing that democratic referendum and when i talk about it being a europe story if we go through the chapters and the spanish civil war ghibli missing from british school textbooks is when britain was supporting the fascists there that's how we came to the second world war and we now live in the shadow of what i think is a very important story that if the western democracies had supported the spanish republicans franco. then it would have been a major blow block to the second world war the fact they didn't encourage him to believe that he get away with seizing more and more territory we have a few statues around the country of celebrating the international brigades perhaps not taught as much as they could be in schools around europe but as far as what understands of the mainstream media there was this seamless drift from dictatorship to democracy frank was overthrown in your talking in this book about the corrupt

state you alleged torture i mean this is one of the key stories what happened after frankel eventually did die in one nine hundred seventy five words for nine months they tried holding on and eventually realized they couldn't the grassroots movement for democracy was too great but what it did was he brokered a deal with the main opposition parties that tend socialist and communist parties and essentially they agreed to maintain the institutions of the state as they work with nor tempt to push them whatsoever in return for being they themselves been legalized in standing parmenter weapons and that they came into existence in the markets it was very very limited there was an agreement for instance a pact of silence about the spanish civil war that no one really talked about it there was despite the fact spain has agree it is number of unknown civilian greaves in the world outside cambodia there was a complete pact for anyone who carried out acts of political violence during the franco franco years and there was nothing done to solve corruption in particular which was really central to the franco dictatorship he had in utah it didn't seem

to hardwoods jobs of being a member of european union you say that and to remember that people go to holiday to this place you're seeing the world organization against torture based in geneva looking at allegations of torture this is not during franco's bordering with this is in recent years this is a recent years and what that is a consequence of a dirty war which is force in the basque country and then this is not to justify the current military campaign of etter that the basket terrorist organization but the response of the spanish state which we could. yes cords and legal death squads been sent into neighboring france to kill people but the past record in legislation and permit torture prisoners which goes on so there's a lot of concerns about what ho democratic spin is and then bring us slightly more up to date we have this cataclysmic financial crash how did it affect people in catalonia a lot of catalans say well we warned about this no we're expected to pay for us there it emerges as elsewhere we're looking we pay our taxes to madrid they're not

coming back to us but they're also not going to the poorest areas of spin in the south they're staying in madrid will be invested in infrastructure we want to get away from this we want to be we would be better in our on and we could do better economically significant was this october first twenty seventeen referendum after repeated attempts to do quickly here by madrid and perhaps the european union to stop democracy i think it was very important because what you had this situation since two thousand and ten when the spanish constitutional court in a case brought by the center a popular body had struck down a statue autonomy given to catalonia agreed and voted on by the spanish and catalan parliament and then by referendum in catalonia this was struck down by you know unelected judges you had that shift towards probably majority support for independence leading to that situation when they decided to go for this referendum have been blocked by spain who refuses them the right self-determination and then you have this very very heavy handed response the likes of which i have not seen in

western europe in decades you know sending in the police to break i think at that stage the repression and the repression subsequent of that with people being held in jail as political prisoners by the spanish state has increased the number of catalans who may not necessarily support independence but do say we have a right we have a right to say to ourselves without any of this do you think anyone reading this book by the end of it is going to come to the conclusion britain has to get out of the european union because it seems. such a rotten place i don't know if you come to that conclusion i think of myself and george the other author i think we have divided opinions and i see the european union as being undemocratic and run in the very near liberal agenda which is one of the reasons i think it is undemocratic was i think neo liberalism tends towards authoritarianism i also think it's interesting coming back to what's happening katter when you contrast that with the same silence towards right wing parties reemerging across europe and implementing measures against migrants against muslims

and so on you know the european union is not a bastion of democracy chris bambery thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday george best again cia backed coup structurally colonialism in congo one of the most it will take is the resource rich and poor sculptors of the world until they can judge of us by social media will be back on monday ninety two years since the birth of even revolutionary and internationalist repeatedly targeted for assassination by the united states castro. i am. please. feel.
