phosphorous even time warner's c.n.n. company appears outraged by nato nations supplying weapons that kill children in yemen assam a cell phone is all that his father has left of the team. their last happy moments some his father is an optimistic best occasion will change anything but some are trying to change things and before we go to the yemeni capital and hear how the founder of yemen hope and relief i would i'll go barry has himself been targeted by weapons remember that britain has been selling sniper rifles to saudi arabia joining me now from santa is. a myth thank you for being on going underground how did you begin the hope and relief charity after the death of your friend i started to boston to retire in two thousand and fifteen when saudi little coalition started its bloody war in yemen so. i started to like children when i post to darfur talked. or boy his name is jamal he was suffering for
9:32 pm

9:33 pm
with the help of jordan a list she's in new york a she lives in the u.k. have name is and then she started to raise funds in her page and also through my page then after we hope to three children she told me to create all sides and to like create this new york organization in geo called hope and relief. then we started to collect funds through an account in the ok with the help of another. n.g. or called hands international so we started to collect funds to distribute food baskets to the border people to help orphans also to hold madras children we force of the photos before and after treatment of these kids so. there was the really difficult and when i travel to side there because it is like. a military
9:34 pm
a military target to the saudi that coalition side there is a military target so it is difficult to travel there when i travel to solder. when i was next to a bridge it was like twenty metres suddenly saw the airstrikes targeted the bridge you were being targeted with airstrikes while you were trying to give aid to malnourished children yeah they hit the bridge while i was going there so i was really scared of that moment and i told myself why i'm going to this area it's dangerous but i remember that i am helping children and they really need help there are like thousands need. help or so five children are really five million children are at risk of famine so i did my best and i went to saddam many times also to her day the city to help these kids but when i travel to solder it
9:35 pm
was the most difficult and dangerous trip to help these children because there is a heavy bombardment on the city and heavy in bombardment in the road while you travel to the side they hit everything britain is elling bombs and warplanes to the saudis they say they're carefully reviewed continually and saudi arabia says it is only targeting military sites you know i you know i saw deal of the coalition has been targeting civilians since two thousand and fifteen so it is not something new that they are targeting civilians and there they actually say that they are targeting military targets it is just an excuse to justify their war against us they are like destroying our infrastructure they have destroyed schools they have the. bus you know schools bus they have destroyed.
9:36 pm
factories ports airports so they are like targeting civilians not military targets britain is still exporting. bombs tourism as i said carefully reviewing these things continually you mention the school was ok scores of children were killed but the saudis say it was a mistake you know i visited the attack scene i used to that i think seen i saw blood mixed with the children choose it was really horrible massacre they target is a school bus and they said that they will investigate investigate their crime imagine i killed someone and then i myself investigate the crime it is like nonsense to investigate your crime what while you are the killer the british government says that it makes well the turn over seventy four billion pounds in
9:37 pm
weapons warplanes and bombs tourism is husband invests in u.s. arms companies supplying the bombs saudi is. like the is like britain's largest customer so they have like u.k. have sold billions of arms to saudi arabia to target civilians in yemen and they are building their economy and they have offered like one million jobs in in newquay but these jobs these people are like manufacturing arms to kill us so imagine they are building their economy in the u.k. by killing us by killing children in yemen by starving millions by disbelief sink three million in yemen it is a big tragedy. that we are under attack by saudi and u.k. is involved in this i know you give but britain gives aid money as well as
9:38 pm
the bombs you must see the british aid going to people in need in yemen ok actually yemeni people they don't want. it from me ok they want peace they don't want to be killed by a u.s. u.k. bomb and then they give us aid no we don't want that in one hand you ok is like selling arms to saudi to kill us and in the other hand they are giving us aid they are helping us this is not good we don't want this we only want them to stop selling arms to saudi and to. to like. to support the peace over am and not only just selling arms and then giving us aid in yemen well apart from the saudis do you believe the directors of may and donald trump are committing war crimes they are committing war crimes but you know our the war in
9:39 pm
yemen is for growth and. you know or the situation here is like there are no salaries no access to clean or no access to health care. no salaries the prices of food and fuel are soaring. also you know if you are the hospitals. they cannot operate their hospitals for a long time they might close their doors because the prices of fuel are soaring you know so the problem here is very pick and the humanitarian crisis is can see there the worst in the world. so there are plenty of things that have been ng in yemen and they should stop killing and targeting civilians if they want like they said to target who sees and to end the gym here they should do it in front lines not in cities and not killing civilians also not making
9:40 pm
a blockade on land sea and ports in yemen and just finally the yemeni capital is behind you so now of course the british backed yemen. government leaders are in saudi arabia who is governing the capital because they're not bombing the saudis on bombings on a right the humanitarian crisis in santa is very big and forming some now like almost every day so i think the best way is for the parties to the political parties in yemen they have to have their me think in the. city's approach and to stay together to solve this problem but what i really think it is not about the political parties in yemen it is a ball with your key and us because forty years of sailing. is only just beginning to build the u.s. and u.k.
9:41 pm
economy so if this war will be over it depends on them they have to stop this war and they have to stop supporting saudi. thank you after the break again counselor warns that is own council may be attempting to move people back into one safe homes until the headlines u.k. terror fiction becomes too terrifying while tehran blames real terror on washington all the civil coming up with what you have going on the ground. one of the most important if not the most important pillars of western society is the rule of law and the equal application of the law this is now being put into down we are told no it is the court of credibility that rules whatever that means is the cabinet nomination again.
9:42 pm
i've been saying the numbers mean some matter you have to deal with one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars. timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth to be culled from rich six percent market saw thirty percent year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you know to miss the one and only. thing you know you need to go back and buy more from force. that's also the position of the guy. that's the. case even though
9:43 pm
there is a number. to go back to the country. welcome back joining me now to look through some of the week stories as. liberal democratic member of. bet i'm going to ask about trump speech of the u.n. general assembly in the past twenty four hours in a second first of all john meetings inquiry just surveillance of jericho been in his friends know much about it but the intelligence people are doing important things here for tweets important tweets about fiction about the terrorism the story says evening standard terror a police chief hopes bodyguard inspires
9:44 pm
a flood of new recruits bodyguards a program to be told there is not preventing melian audience the b.b.c. show has considerably less and less programs internationally probably actually even more than. but it really caught the imagination of about a sixth of the british population and the partly has created the spike in interest in working in the anti terror police we've just heard that white helmets from syria are apparently being relocated it's been confirmed by the british government britain and if any of them do turn out to be jihadists people who watch the bodyguard should should be recruited by the british services to try and fight but this is interesting this is fiction becoming recruitment fact the police services seem to have jumped on this as a way to try and make their work seem glamorous they've even been promoting the pay scales top pay apparently forty three thousand so the lowest salary is lower than the average wage in britain and they're supposed to. save us that's right there and the top salary which i've seen at least is forty three thousand so you could argue
9:45 pm
for the level of risk involved it rather be a not because i'm sure he got paid more than that to to impersonate a police officer in the program but this does indicate that the forces of very very keen to use any method to attract people into this very dangerous line of work to look forward to have my six recruitment drive of the back of james bond let's now go to a serious story this is certainly serious that you only terrorism is getting that money back for us that was promised by brick city years before the referendum political report warns u.k. again three coup two point seven billion euro china fraud bill we have to pay them two point seven billion brussels the argument here is that this is going against all proper trading practice calls billions and billions of euros worth of chinese goods of fraud you found their way into the british economy anyway why is this suddenly being touted around in the middle of all the breaks in negotiations hundred eighty four days we're leaving and suddenly the european commission wants
9:46 pm
to make the british taxpayer foot the bill i've been privately assured this is nothing to do with brett said don't believe it for a minute well talk about the trial general assembly speech recall that iran let's go to this from radio free liberty which. something to do with the american to the lot of the night of course a lot of name calling going on here at radio free europe and radio liberty claim pentagon denies ludicrous accusations that u.s. was behind deadly attack in iran dozens got killed in an attack on a military parade and iran has said we think that washington is behind this. as you've already suggested the matter is yes to france actually has furiously the night this is dismissed iran's accusation saying this is a ludicrous claim and also threatened iran not to make these kinds of criticism i mean it would be like the iranians claiming that the united states supported saddam hussein bombing iran and killing loads of iranians it's exactly like that and i'll tell you something else if it was the other way around washington would not
9:47 pm
hesitate to point the finger of blame towards iran if they had half a chance to do so if there'd been an atrocity in some other part of the world interesting also the drays of me has been meeting with. rouhani on the sidelines of the u.n. u.k. and russia on the same. about the u.s. violation of the nuclear threat well that's right the u.s. is increasingly isolated on the global stage because everybody else involved in the iranian nuclear deal is still standing by it but washington's quite happy to bully and threaten the companies in the european union saying if you do business with iran you can't do business with us you've got to make a choice ok well ever since you were the labor conference but you've chosen a headline about your leader of the liberal democrats well let's give the lib dems some jew as well as the independent reports what do you call the lib dems climax gone horribly wrong that's right an exotic spread this is the liberal democrats who people still vote for in this country some vote for them their poll ratings common
9:48 pm
but a little bit but it is finale speech the current leader vince cable tried to use a phrase which was meant to bring the house down with humor and he was describing backstairs as having he was trying to say and erotic. sponsor a static came out as exotics president we began by talking about the state and he b.b.c. is drama i'm not sure these saw one of their broadcasts just telling jeremy corbyn the leader of western europe's largest labor movement to apologize to camera for being an anti c major something like that any chance you can now apologise for your lead and well i'm going to break without tradition and on behalf of vince cable and the lib dems i'd like to apologize for the leaders of the state but we all know of course it was caused by jeremy corbin i'm not sure that was an apology and the labor party deny any of those accusations of adobe thank you. now to the gren fell fire tragedy one of the toughest challenges to prime minister
9:49 pm
tourism a's leadership though she has instituted an inquiry an alleged ultimatum has just been given to survivors joining me is labor councillor from the royal borough of kensington and chelsea. council thanks for coming back on the program let's start with the letter what do you advise grunfeld survivors threatened with losing their council tenancies apparently i've seen text of the letter and i've seen what emma dent called the labor m.p. for kenton to set about it when she wrote to kim taylor smith a climate of fear singing fear and saying it's absolutely disgraceful that these people should be forced to to choose and kim to list with as written but you know he's a deputy for housing and property and he's obviously got the brief for a grand film he said in response to him event code that we will not force anyone to give up their homes against their will and the thirty to the thirtieth of september decision required make a decision by is not a hard deadline so now there's no story or towards a scare tactic by people of the left in your council to make out that there's some
9:50 pm
lack of humanity here with part of the democratic here that the council of the ridges bar and this is that this is a tale of two realities so you've got the leadership team making decisions about what will happen in the home and a whole plethora of different greenfield seven. i don't including this it can tell us smith making decisions about when people will move reasonable from the move and all the rest of it but actually i'm on the ground the survivors the m.p.'s the councils for the grenfell area tell us to actually what the leadership team and can tell us smith think they are deciding is not actually happening on the ground what about the prime minister that mrs may said these people should be c. weeks after the fire remember she had no idea what she was talking about we would all like gas some in the government she didn't consult the council before telling everyone they would of course not the leadership of the council told me. the first they had about it was when she said on the in the house of commons that on the t.v. screens they were just making up anything to get past this but get back to this letter the people who are being. forced to move from hotels and so on because it's
9:51 pm
costing council a lot of money to keep those people into into tendencies i talked to a survivor just three days ago who told me that some of the reasons why people can't actually move when they're being forced to move he said that repairs needed to properties residents are expected to move back into in one case the house the person was meant to move back into had no floating but they're still expected to move back into it and the other big issue is that this is made of don't forget said that those people and they could endlessly said it housing that was survivors other people will be able to whichever properties they move into they will stay on the. twenty four thousand housing rights should a secure tendencies which gave better rights than the well if you've already got to go on a shoot if you're tenancy you wouldn't lose that unless you signed up on your tendency so now if you are
9:52 pm
a survivor or some of the people from the walkway blocks and you. around the house and others as well if you're going to sign a new tenancy imagine how difficult that is because the incoming landlords and husbands. stations want to sign up affordable rent tenancy is the twenty forty eight housing act but but the people who are going into those i've been assured that that will not happen on the same rents the same conditions the same tendencies and that's that's that's a big problem that's holding men in them up as well the other thing is that many i was told that many of the grenfell walkway blocks the blocks right below the top are still not decent holmes standards some of them are still patrolled by fire warden so that's what it's costing one thousand a month of course which suggests that there's still a fire risk so how would you move people who might want to using a letter like this then there's the that and this is best this problem the what we have still being cleared of as best by professional companies so that residents think it's unsafe to move in and sort of the legal people and then the whole civil
9:53 pm
fabric of the lancaster west. and the walkways is about to begin so i'm sure there would have to decant people from that state any way they want to move people back into an estate or they're going to be the counting from anyway so there's a whole plethora of thing yes that's a council phrase because you might call it social cleansing but what they're saying is there's no point in moving people back into those blocks when a man is going to take place where the people have to move out you're going to stay on the council and the present year's budget is overspent at the moment by eighteen million and every week those people are in hotels where they don't move into permanent accommodation it's cost the council more money the eighteen million of you talked about the government the council of hoping to get some of that back from the from the government but nobody knows from month to month to month they actually said in the in a meeting the other day that he should be meeting with eighteen million some of it may or may not be covered by a next a government grant so they may get it they may not be vast the heads of department
9:54 pm
go back and try and create a budget plan for next year that covers some of that money and i said well i hope you know that a couple frontline services in the car rental services the council is effectively bust compared to what it was. before twenty seven times it was rich it was. around three hundred million. every year of going down to like ten million. eighteen million in the red on the. on this year's budget to create a bottom requirement of six hundred million which we haven't all spent so the councils in a difficult situation and they're reacting day by day to what's happening on the ground we've gone through them and they said that the lesser is fair and that no one will be homeless without getting into the mine usually of the changes in housing act under the coalition government. do you think there's something ideological at play here with a lot of the talks about a council tenancies because obviously one of the great tory projects has been reducing the number of houses accountable to local government i mean we've got
9:55 pm
thirty years of house building we've now got ten years of cameron government putting back on housing benefit support cutting benefits we've got a stab at the. program at work in britain but it's hitting the poorest the hardest which the wage levels are at the same rate they were at at two thousand and seven we've got people living from hand to mouth these are some of the poorest people so even if the council wants to house people that they are punctuated by this by the system but on the other hand i mean you mention the shortfall in what used to be one of the richest buyers in terms of funding we heard one shot a cabinet minister. saying in liverpool talking about councils boring money to pay for those essential services you don't think your accounts of that should happen again six inch l.c.d. has. there is the greatest sympathy what well they didn't do i mean they spent doing them thirty five million of the twenty seven files allocated for either
9:56 pm
buying housing buying out the lease holders of things about fifty six seventeen lease holders and to make deals with housing associations and so on you got no money from westminster additional where did the they did get money yeah they did a lot that was covered by by government grants dwindled as time went on and they borrowed the six hundred million bottoming requirement so they have had to borrow without that probably would collapse basically the government made huge promises after the pharmacist may sit up in the commons and said anything that the councils wanted it's a bit like the e.c.m. plotting across the country when they stood up i think it was said to david stood up some point after the everybody was asked to check and said you know there was also submit available but of course it didn't still a hundred towns across the country with clotting either up or i'm going to come down but these. being battered senseless by static cuts from central government i wonder where the money will come from so so the council has had to bottle that down
9:57 pm
to almost zero ten million is almost zero for this council there wondering how they can get through the next year of budgeting without government support if they have to fund if they have to fund all of the costs that granville has cost the council would have sunk by now like a fountain shop but just finally and briefly new me israel youth ambassador for a local theatre group in kensington and chelsea told us that it's up to the community to step up to do council jobs i know you are a councillor you know whether you know they have to do your job as well until all of this is sorted out is it really up to the communities of the poorest areas of the richest bar in europe to sort things out for themselves well they did do after the far they did it for nearly a year after the fall and i saw them a still doing it community volunteers who didn't get a penny. and in fact were from the pond by the council not seen as legit by the incumbent workers so they had to do what they shouldn't have to do i mean there's vast amounts of money gets spent on these services they shouldn't have to do it i
9:58 pm
mean everywhere you look to do what renfield is lines and lines of services whether it's counselling or mental health or community services i mean you only have to go online you'll see that so they shouldn't have to do it why should they have to do it of course they shouldn't have to do it mason thank you thank you that's it for the show we're back on saturday when we exclusively and to be an inmate beside a british prison about the rise in suicides drug use and violence to be judged by social media as he was a big twenty seven years since president bill clinton the cia back to. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for
9:59 pm
him to let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time to sit down and talk. the democrats are not socially liberal they are pro war and so are the republicans and the problem people have a trumpet studies. and that's not acceptable in america today that runs except for against iran. well you know all the talk talk because the walking the walk and you know you have to do it you have to do but he's not actively going down the path of hillary clinton clearly was going. to. go.
10:00 pm
back. to the lead. so no trying to double stand on his latest claims against china telling janice that patient is meddling in america's upcoming midterm elections that so often he ratchets up the pressure on iran going into a place it's a race against it's leadership at the u.n. security council where the u.s. need to face significant pushback from allies. and the smoke arraigning who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold
10:01 pm
a deal together because she did at. washington's end.
