reza liberates its one hundred fiftieth anniversary today we go to the site of the battle of all green where ten thousand of office goggles and u.n. miners were attacked by thousands of police following the lord mayor's appeal to home secretary sajid javid we speak to the general secretary of the new m. and a minor arrested on that day. that's all coming up in today's edition of going underground well i mean the lord mayor of sheffield's office and with me is the lord mayor of sheffield will bet thanks so much for letting well you know i'm going to. ask you how come you're here there are pictures of the first lord mayor sheffield william jeff gold a rather mining company. you. and you know why is honestly me being a lord mayor is such a celebration are so many other people about me with be a mother who made sacrifices will be friends who grabbed me and so the people of

sheffield who really put their faith in me and chose me to be the lord mayor so it's it's just amazing i kind of feel as if like i am just merely a reflection of sheffield at the moment and it's just i mean i generally do feel privileged knowledge to hold this position then with something that happened the past forty eight hours one of your many initiatives on mental health what have you been yes each month i choose a campaign to focus my attention kind of really saw campaign so july was a whole anti trump rally and advance i'm coming to the u.k. and august it was the opening of minus campaign for justice and then this month for me kind of wants to kind of touch on the topic of mental health especially as we lead as it was and well suicide prevention day on monday so i kind of thought well . how can i just country be a bit more and actually just get behind the amazing way it's already happening so i

kind of with the help of local charity and the public health department or the council put together a u.k. suicide prevention charter because at the moment on average we have hundred fourteen people would go through to suicide completion each week and there's a lot we can be doing as members so for me it was a case of putting these charts together and trying to get as much institutions to create an enhanced policy that they may already have when it comes to mental health and specifically suicide prevention because some might say that this position of the lord mayor altie has to be a political mental health arguably a political even prince harry and regular marco royal family talking about that no one doubting of course that isn't an important issue but it's you know what it is. i mean like all grieving of course well it's everything you do people keep talking . people would just rather me not what the bow or just play it safe i'm afraid i was a wasted opportunity like i'm blessed enough to hold this position for me every

single thing you do is political when i even became lord mayor i kept hearing stuff like oh we're with this how we always do it we've always done it like this there man and like a lot of negative like how good is are you breaking tradition like you need to not do things so different i'm like well i completely like saying we've always done that this is not an excuse like we used to have terrible tradition which we no longer do and you can form new traditions but more important i question everything i've been doing from but why are we doing it what's the benefit of it how can we change it to benefit the people sheffield honest there is a change in city is a vast. progressive change is sitting of course and if you look at how we have more in bags we've more effect a one percent early point five percent remain but even then i generally believe it's a very exciting place when sheffield's is a place where we really don't compromise who we are is a case of you know lovers or you like and some believe briggs is progressive of

course but yeah one in four may be in poverty in this city with a few miles from this officer or the worst social indicators it's the brunt of our stories here of the banking crash what's it like to represent as lord mayor says even with the african issues yeah first of all it's a big responsibility to make sure to make sure that those voices who feel different than not be and had been represented bring into the forefront person foremost we're right due to austerity and all the cuts that we've had it means a lot of vital services a heavily under pressure and i'm sure many of our cases across the country like sheffield but we really are pushing the north office in the brunt of the and is like. first it's always trying to come up with creative solutions to problems fair enough we have got the best start but we can't let that be an excuse for us not to

provide services or try and come up with innovative ways to solutions you say so we just doing the best that we can come into it but you would agree that we needed to pay off the losses by the banks made down south in the city of london and you know what it is but i personally feel of this like we as a country we're very we haven't got a lot of money and to be saying that we haven't got enough money for via services i just don't but i feel the general is a political decision when we can find a billion pound for the do you pay when we can find millions of pounds to go to war and keep saying we haven't got enough money to do the else's if we're base also like as part of the coalition deal to keep tourism in schools but it's also for example like it's nice and well i look at me i'm lordly is an example stories like mine are very hard to come by because this is governments hostile environment policy so when we're having to refuse refugees than for example other country refused three thousand child refugees from syria because we said we didn't have

enough money yet we can find more money to go to war to bomb say which is inevitable because more child refugees for us to say we haven't got enough money to take him in so i for a long time just fail to believe them and say that we haven't got enough when i was all just a political agenda do you think what informs you there is your heritage similarly when it's famously said. is a place bomb under barack obama or it should be. central to the drone campaign in africa is useful in somalia look at what's happening in yemen and in syria it's just a case of like. often we just like of course it's and we need to be treating people people are humans but i just feel as if. our foreign policy times is the best if i mean as an affair of the flight sometimes it's just completely cruel the blairites on the labor party and conservatives and some liberal democrats all say we must get involved in these wars to protect people whom you have i would

completely say are going further than well look what happened in the whole situation in iraq how did that help us as a country when the whole point of bombing iraq was because weapons we all know was based on lies and look what's happening with libya or do not say it's a case of we want to better the people of libya and support them look at the situation in libya is i'm still here to see us like. owes as a country going to a country and actually bombing them and seeing the benefits of it. if you think opposite i'd love to hear what the benefits like what positive that's actually bought by any example the moment we start treaty in people as numbers and targets i'm not sure if humans fell for the problem as where we should be trained people with compassion and i think that's where our times we kind of got it wrong but what was your thoughts about the government finally getting to grips maybe with the windrow scandal where africa will be in britain's will being deported almost as

it's appears out of the country i was for the way they dealt with it was complete shambles if i'm going to say fair enough they may be now trying to tackle a lot better. that's not to say a word with the amber alert or three of the most time the whole this is going on for a long time but recently came to light so it's nice to see things of advance on our boat by what it seems getting better but i feel as if i we've still got a long way to go in terms of how we tackle the i just and we will in the whole policy area to be honest i mean it's just a feel as if. yeah just going by so point i'm just saying we treat people with compassion i did we're talking about people who've lived here when george said i've contributed to the country in so many different ways and i've been told they're no longer welcome in the u.k. that you wouldn't want vans going in your city not on telling people to shop their neighbors to denote asian which is of course opposed over the government another initiative you said that you backed with or grief initially the government appeared

to be backing an inquiry back in the independent police complaints commission for inquiry why do you think the government says there is no need for an inquiry into the battle of or grief that took place in this office i can't speak for the government if i'm being honest about why i do understand is that we need a public inquiry to happen because there's still family suffering today and i don't know if you've seen the last hour what subject of it. it's just asking for the president yeah of course home secretary and i don't want to say so much admiration of commendation to the people the oldest just his campaign who are courageously constantly actively campaigning on this issue and for me as lord mayor and something within chef and i think it's only my assumption i want to get behind and especially when people on is actually on when i actually behind the campaign was the first of august which happened to be yorkshire day and i was also very yorkshire based campaign as well you see the b.b.c. of apologise for reversing the riot footage lots of the newspapers are saying we

knew that ok ten thousand miners were involved the police we knew everything way why have an inquiry into this because it's it's fair and just so we know the police were wrong in the situation we know there was a lot in just says so instead of stay and argue well it's like fair enough we made a mistake but there's still ongoing sufferings and its consequences to those evidence so we need to get to the bottom of this because otherwise that justice will always be that they'll never be a case where the people of all grief will feel different they've been treated in a fair and just way so it's something i always tell people just where the right side job to do what you can to deliver reply he did not reply some believe that it was supposed to be a lesson or grieve for every worker to obey their boss is a kind of the beginnings of neo liberalism when these workers were fighting for

what they perceived as their rights the thing that sways in replying to geno well i am there's hundreds in the hundreds of people wrote right so i don't think the reason of a prize because it is the one so i just come above it i can i don't know but it's just a case of he's just clearly not interested doesn't want to do anything about it but that's not a reason for myself about if you like i'll be lying if i said you know i want to. i think he's going to he's going to agree to many because i'm going to of course i didn't expect that but for me as well as writing same it was more important like in the way of one twin for me was to bring awareness of the cause because that's why i can do so for if i can give an inquiry myself if i can highlight the issue using my hometown really just bring awareness to the campaign that was my main focus i didn't care where the sunday job was going to respond to me and i before me was trying to spread awareness of that campaign no man thank you after the break as

declassified papers reveal a plan by mrs thatcher to teach a lesson to work because it is to raise of a covering up crimes that all grieve with thousands battled in the south yorkshire countryside against what could become a neo liberalism that's all coming up the budget of going on the ground. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. somehow want to be. the two going to be close to see what the full story of the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent i just want to secure them with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and. we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember it was one business show you know to miss the one and only. welcome back where it all grieve in south yorkshire the site of one of the defining moments of international neoliberalism thirty four years ago ten thousand miners

many actually escorted to a steel plant in orgreave south yorkshire were brutally attacked by a haps five thousand police germy corbin says the first act of a labor government will be to launch an inquiry into what happened on the eighteenth of june one thousand nine hundred eighty four something prime minister tereza may has rejected critics say her refusal is to protect her late leader margaret thatcher who classified papers show is implicated in a conspiracy to teach the most powerful trade union in britain a lesson that all workers in the u.k. would for ever learn they believe it pave the way to today's deregulated neoliberal work system of zero hours contracts and casual labor well joining me now is kevin horn from the orgreave truth and justice campaign he was at or grief in june one thousand nine hundred eighty four given what happened here thirty four years ago and there is a police riot. on the minus react they way they were just discussing to say on the

day that. the horses. factory itself. the horses. the miners appear appear almost into which will be maybe nearly ten thousand minus five thousand rallies. five six. when i saw that when i first saw the place i came over the picked. on the word. i thought they were on the actually because of what though much of the information in the field and the word t.v. on the front line these are not about five thousand then you know it just just started by on the horses in the dogs. they weren't even on the frontline at the time. and some of the ten thousand miners were actually a school shit by the police to the field that used to be there yeah on that day not like any other day we could get any and. we were being stopped

enough to get infuriated obviously and from coming here on all the days but this day on the eighteenth the law as in. they just let everybody in on door showing cultures from south wales wed to. and from scotland and durham and kent. people from can pick it from can couldn't even get so the dots a tunnel all the cycle to that day in southern england in london. so on this day they were all shown in. and given pocking spaces and rounded up in a field. just over the bridge there ready to. read it to be a big no and. on bills the people are going to necessarily know about i mean what did it feel like when i maybe you were you you'd be in charge of

a riot which at that time was a life imprisonment event when the b.b.c. . clearly showed the british public that it was you and nine thousand ten thousand all of the mind as it was you being violent what did you all feel about. well. a lot felt about it while i was there it was the other way around the place for being violent when it was literally the other way around the for the. it was the other way around and the place of. the violent on. on we realized that we shouldn't of go we realized that when we saw least police we should have gone on to realize that later we were to land that we were here for the duration. or several times throughout the day when my people saw well go ahead with an inquiry into a group of to denying you one well i'm hopeful that the will see the reason that

the justice element to it the least questions that need to be am said you know it was it was august rated riots as far as i'm concerned because i was there but the riot was not on our side it was all straightened by the state and the police and i think that we need to know. that and so that safe gas can be put in place to make sure it doesn't happen again you see people are now saying that new documents show that there has been surveillance of people after all agreed you think you were under surveillance i don't think i would personally the surveillance as a seventeen year old striking minor of the time but i definitely believe that that the. was under surveillance and was able to infiltrate was this building would have been bugged i wouldn't be surprised if this building was built on the offices that we held in sheffield at the time i would be surprised that people on the picket line you know with police officers that didn't surprise me and it's now called the

exchanges name john meeting undercover police inquiry into bugging of people like jeremy corbin what is your union doing as regards giving evidence to the inquiry well we obviously the inquiry the evidence is sketchy because you don't know if somebody's done a covert operation on you and that was one of the sticking points if you like when they try to exclude us from the inquiry they asked us to provide evidence that we were spied on and well that we haven't got the evidence that was spied on because if they did it right we will know that they were spying on us but obviously during the strike with information that will eat there was there was definitely some kind of surveillance and undercover operation being constructed against the i knew m. and its members at the time i should say that there is a gesture and all of that in the book the enemy within by jeremy cool beans present communications adviser seamus milne. corbin unlike any labor leader i

can remember addresses the derm minus goal what is the importance of the n u m in mining of the mining industry has been destroyed as a legacy of luggage that was the point of the end of the mine is go to the favorite to be the next british prime minister i think the point is the history because you know the. the miners were farming the labor. we've always had a socialist view the one thousand eight hundred eighty five strike was based on keeping the right to work on social justice somebody able to go you know do a day's work in a day's pay look after your family and improve not just. in the way that we lived but for those children the future generations so i think the histories they had i think jimmy recognizes the history of the of the mining unions and the coal mining industry as a whole and i genuinely think that it. a privilege to speak at the did a minus gala and he is always attended you know every time we spoke at the last and

i think it's important that we continue to remain that link we may have lost the industry that doesn't mean to say that we have to lose the social values that were built without industry then with this room means to me this. we. we won't well paid when this you know building was was done. but we still always strive to be better and to improve not just our lives but the lives of his kids and his grandkids and that's what this this building symbolizes to me that you know the minus collected the money and we built something that that was what we aspire to be we aspire to have big meeting halls you know decorations and and that's what's on the banners that decorate the walls of this building it's the social justice the fact that you know you work out and you will profit you will benefit from me and all the people should not benefit from your labor more than

what you benefit now the n.-m. appears to be accusing the government not only of betrayal over the old groove inquiry but about impoverishing present members over the end you have in terms of their pensions just explain that the pension scheme is a separate one when two billion. pounds but the government is taking that money. theoretically that six hundred million could go to bail out banks who knows what is going on with your pensions of your members with our pensions is that we are being ripped off we have been ripped off because of a deal put together in one nine hundred ninety four as part of the privatization act the government takes fifty percent of the surplus is generated from the pension scheme. percent is distributed to members by way of a bonus we have. at least ten years now been saying that the deal is unfair the government xpect it in their own reports the nine hundred ninety

six this is a good deal because they could expect to make two billion pounds profit over twenty five years from the two minus pension schemes. eight billion pounds profit now the try to index link the two billion pounds. and said that's actually eight billion pound now so the increase on the profit they expect it to me unfortunately minus pensions on the eighty seven percent in the same period and you would think that you'd use the same index link in an obviously did increase by four hundred percent the won't be that much of an argument about the. but for the government to take fifty percent of a surplus. for providing a guarantee for a scheme that. small risk of failing that actually getting money for nothing which is you know why we to repin the because off from our pensions we paid the money in

as the employer paid the money and that money should be used to pay pensions improve pensions shouldn't be used to prop up a government. thank you. we'll be back on ten years the day of the by. probably the brothers. peering into the abyss the syrian arab army is determined to liberate good lives and to eliminate the terrorists they are essential in ending this international proxy more the us in its regional allies are dead set against this why is the trumping ministration siding with terror. prosecution only to become almost. a false bomb design. where you push us off the threat of
