billion pounds of people's money and control by spiraling taxes working paying the price of labor yet again labor taking us back to square one ignoring where the countries bombed by britain into square one with the cost of thousands of millions resume also celebrated the british military at this week's b. and q.'s given it was world mental health day ensuring that we recognise both physical and mental injuries is important and we should never forget those who would lay down their lives for our freedom and for our security but our british bombs targeted by british soldiers on syria right now every day really for our freedom and security and a better journalist but as a billy has been on the ground in syria where the u.k. ministry of defense told this program the u.k. is bombing every single day according to latest figures joins me via skype from bordeaux in france for his thanks for going back on before we get to your latest revelations from your reporting in syria your reaction to the resignation of the

u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley of the sea back war now southerners call the moderates in the new york times for instance well a moderate neo con for sure i mean the clamor of approval various israeli entities following her. resignation. i guess all of us thought that after samantha power it couldn't get any worse and then nikki haley arrived basically justified they israeli aggression against the palestinian protesters. tried to justify falsely iranian involvement in the yemeni war that justified of course the u.s. supply of cluster bombs and other nations to the saudi coalition to effectively korea a genocide against the yemeni people. and of course has supported. coercion can. paying for

a team change inside syria that has resulted in an eight year war and the collective punishment of the majority of the syrian people who support their state and their army in their defense of their homeland against the coalition terrorist forces that haiti has provided cover for as you just say obviously british cluster bombs used against children in yemen have been demonstrated to be prior exports in case the british government is watching that you've just come back from syria it's going to the news here in britain for a while suddenly we're getting reports you don't say but they did b.b.c. from anonymous the source to camera footage inside the ad lib of life basically being threatened by assad of syria out of the d.m.z. the demilitarized zone in the ad lib what's your take on the oh yeah i mean i followed jeremy baron's report he actually followed my footsteps into the christian for that just that border. and the terrorist organizations that are in camps in

that i mean what i find quite extraordinary is that in boeing's written report of course the blame is laid squarely at the fate of the syrian government and the syrian state whilst ignoring the fact that all areas that have been previously liberated by the syrian forces and its allies now are witness to the peace and stability that syria had prior to two thousand and eleven prior to this manufactured our pricing. refugees are returning home in their droves from lebanon from neighboring countries jordan is discussing the opening of trade borders in the south so we're seeing a revival of syria in those liberated areas but also additionally to that of course the terrorist groups that were basically about to eat it from the liberated areas have all ended up in adelaide but somehow this fact is basically eradicated by the b.b.c. report the written report by mr. defense told us this week that the u.k.

is bombing syria every day the latest figures they've given us a list die a motorcyclist and so forth i knew that's a little further away from where you have been maybe in the student syria what's your understanding of what british taxpayer paid paveway british student pelf missiles are doing for british protection we have a history of the u.s. coalition targeting the syrian arab army forces that are battling terrorism inside syria say their target isis yes of course they say that but in september two thousand and sixteen let's not forget that the r.a.f. with involved with its reproduce in the u.s. coalition bombing of syrian arab army forces that massacred seventy two of those forces and enabled they advance is of isis into strategic positions that threatened civilians and doubt is all let's also not forget that while the british and he is claiming to be targeting isis as is the u.s. coalition there is isis fighters came in from the east from the direction of u.s.

military base and massacred two hundred seventy civilians while they lay sleeping in this way the province both in the countryside and in the city itself how did those isis terrorists manage to cross bost areas desert plains and open land without being detected and without being stopped by the u.s. coalition and without being bombed by the british and modi as they're claiming how did that massacre happen and why also did the b.b.c. not report upon that massacre jeremy bowen was just in syria he visited he did not visit the scene of one of the bloodiest massacres of the eight year war neither did channel four neither did any of the media entities and u.k. that i'm aware of why was this massacre ignored is it because there is clearly between the u.s. coalition and the isis forces in an attempt to. destabilize syria in venice again

do the british media they support has does the british government support the white helmet along with the joke oxford asian here and of course israel i understand you in syria talked to a white helmet leader on the ground what did he tell you yeah i mean basically during part of my trip by and the city of. in fact and men she and the alomari mosque which of course was the scene of the early reports over the so-called uprising in syria that our ballot is an interesting situation this is an area still under control of the armed groups or certain armed groups that have not accepted reconciliation but who are working on negotiating with the syrian government with the russian military places guarantors so we entered an area which is still under the control of those armed groups that i mentioned we entered

a functioning white helmet center now what was interesting is the presumption by those white helmets was that because i was british i was sympathetic to that course so the conversation immediately turned to their funding the fact that made a rescue right salla the head of the white house said turned off the funding to this group in the last six months funding previously by the way that each individual working for the white home it's received one hundred fifty dollars a month that was information was given to me by these white helmets which slightly negates their claim to be volunteers it also is probably three times the salary of a syrian arab army soldier fighting to defend their people and their country inside syria. but moving forward what one of the white helmet in fact the leader of the data center told me was that the white helmets who left with the special expedition by. led by israel and crossed three the. couldn't

a security fence into the occupy syrian territory of the golan heights so into israeli occupied territory and then on to jordan is what i was told around fifty percent were actually terrorist leaders know. and isis fighters coming in from the yarmouk basin so between eight hundred to a thousand numbers vary depending on who is talking to me laughed by the special evacuation that was initiated by canadair i believe. all of these of course some have been resettled now in the u.k. there is huge secrecy over those that have entered the u.k. and where they are being resettled i would question whether the british government is repeating what it has done in the past giving special resettlement programs to possible terrorist assets who've been operating on their behalf inside syria as of course they did to salmonella bady in two thousand and fourteen from libya who then carried out the manchester bombing in two thousand and seventeen. but what the

white helmets also told in course in in an effort to elicit sympathy a pro their cause they told me that while they were not affiliated to us or front despite the fact that their center was actually in a no sort of front complex the nose for front head coaches were directly next door to the white house that center that i visited they told is that while they had no if any ation to us for a front it was very likely that every other white helmet group in syria did have affiliations in us were from were led by no sort of front militants but of course they had no for the ation and that they should be considered for funding and financing by the british government now what is extraordinary also is that this white helmet group was functioning on the syrian government's really control let's say if this area which again in the gate. the myth that was being put out by rights

and the p.r. agencies run the narrative for the white helmet that the syrian government would target the white helmets and was a threat today's timi in a year where they've been under attack of aggression fail except for further cuts perhaps despite the us territory announcement after the loss of eleven thousand job since twenty two yeah it is a very very tough time for the us and for firefights is despite what prime minister has started she's still very much in the fire service we've got cuts taking place as we speak cuts plan for the next few years but it's still being squeezed but this comes in the time of all seventeen years as a hundred years ago far feiss form the first independent trade union for firefighters in the u.k. and that's something celebrate for us you know that we've been around for a hundred years we've fought for the rights of firefighters but we also played a big part in fighting to improve public safety in britain in workplaces in homes in public space and the other it is takes in kind of the history of this country in

a way over that period i mean the there's obviously the blitz the blitz was a huge turning point for the fire service because it was when people in after the joint sponsor civil war were the bombing of going into people we got the idea that there would be bombing on a large scale from the events of any war and the fire would be used as a weapon so the fires it was had to be massively expanded for us as a spree small union at the time we gauged not discussion and the union grow the union tried to as a society as well as defending the rights of fire fights is raise issues about public policy and then probably more recently we've come under a lot more attack and i mean i want to get on to more contemporary matters but you mentioned the safety standards fight by the f b you sometimes in the face presumably of opposition from big private interests whether furniture are. still.

to fight several phases one in the in the fifty's and sixty's about safety in the workplace when what people have now fire escapes far chained signs state fire drills all those things that didn't exist and we had some terrible terrible fires in the fifty's and sixty's in factories and workplaces and then we in the ninety eight season after a whole series of deaths in particular children in domestic files we began to look at what was in furniture an issue around from field furniture and demanded regulation around that and face a lot of opposition at that sign from then tory government and from plainly commercial interests who didn't want regulation of what they were put into furnish what we we want successes and the people in their homes are a lot safer as a result of that campaign albeit that when the head of the police federation comes in this program and talks about creeping privatisation of law enforcement when people from the national health service say the emergency ambulance services they

talk about grieving privatization of your industry your emergency service is not so affected by ideological privatisation i think people would be surprised at the sorts of things happen so we had a world renowned for his college in the most and gloucestershire that is now privatized and run by capita which i think people would be shocked at the fire service itself doesn't mean prophesies but bits of the fossil as have been products on the so that's cleaning provision by increasing the training so we have the training to pollen in the largest pfizer's in england has been privatized the fleet money will make profit out of training new members yes companies and that's not everywhere but in a number of services of now privatized the training we now have privatized management of the fleet by the fire engines so again in a number of fire services including in london that has been progress even the provision of the firefighters equipment were. a lot is in some cases being

privatized even in some cases the fire kit that you see people wearing on the screens behind us for example some of that has been privatized expect control in government to bring that under democratic control again well we would hope that that should be very much part of the plane some disasters we had the case in relation to the london fire brigade affirm that ron and i owned all the fire engines in london that went bankrupt effectively and ended up being sold for two pounds and you think of the risk of that so the people of london all the fire engines in london not owned by the london fog owned by a private company that then subject to commercial pressures and ends up being sold for two pounds this is lunacy ridiculous you know what's it like for your members hearing this ongoing inquiry into the worst look since since i guess the blitz the fire brigade commissioned any court she said nothing would be changed in response to a grand final catastrophe today and all procedures were followed on the first point

the process has been very difficult i think it's very difficult for everyone involved whether it's the fire fights is all the debris to survive as the relatives in the local communities a very very painful process firefights is a real live in the worst day of their lives in terms of what clearly are lessons that need to be learned i mean i thought i heard what tony cotton said i think in every emergency incident firefighters will learn and adapt what they do in the next incident as a result of what they've done the london fire brigade itself is actually altered its plans for responding to harras fires post grenfell so they have made changes post grenfell we think there needs to be a major national discussion we see there have been changes to the. territory has been one of the things the f.b.i. has been campaigning on one thing i wanted to ask. the cuts will. aid because we

had to bail out the banks in the city of london but from our office we can see these tall buildings to all of them grand felt your members are going to be ok in saving bankers from fires with equipment and all the rest of the numbers of members that are being cut because arguably of the actions of people in the city of london . people very sharply that. we're paying the policies that denmark proposed twenty third see the netherlands a similar don't france of the you say suggesting twenty four c. complete phase out of a whole combustion engine but even then look there is less than trying as a day why is it that countries in europe want another five years and this in the context of course of that i.p.c.c. report giving the call in twelve years as a profile event of democracy in europe and the buyout of government but they are in china for a minute at least sometimes things don't work along but even the shell oil c.e.o.

says it should be earlier what exactly is going on in the european union that they want to delay this fundamental change in vehicle transportation fuel but what we have a year is something none of the powerful incumbent industries the coal industry and you know many over you it's most needed in germany for our us i think it's fine and i think the challenge that we face here europe is to really sway governs they need to see steps to cost emissions which are often considered to be pounds to the interests of their industries but if you do that you actually create more jobs for the joke you lose but people are often broke and i'm sure your organization makes that case again and again you just contrasted communist china with the democratic european union in yet you're talking about incumbent industry do you do you basically mean undemocratic being i think we recognise that there is enormous power

in the common industries across europe they do have. the over the decisions we've government types so those are our government so they're right there or a dot com or both when we started covering on this program those statistics showing forty. a thousand dead a year because of air pollution so we had to read it twice because i think we were the first people to cover that when they first came out that statistic that's more than thirteen nine eleven so here are you surprised that statistics like that don't make that much more of an impact on policy or is that again these incumbent industries an industry has grown. but it found out that the europe we've been blighted by for the air pollution in our cities is as a result of our use of these all. those diesel engines. yes the fire and pollution and they're believed to be inspired to do because your group is

making clear all these people are dying we're still talking about action and you're in the belly of the beast arguably in brussels what are these incumbent industries doing taking people out to european politicians of a dinner in mission restaurants i mean how how does this work i think it was you know right in your lives but what we are when he's out even norma's political influence of that's off the home. of the prime ministers of the chance of us i mean sure their interests are represented at the very top echelons of this is. exactly the same is true in the european mission. of your mission often decisions of my which are of troops of the evidence because that's what our industry or our streets want to see happen slow progress and what do you say to these leaders and these politicians when they tell you that these downs of these leaders make it

shows you. what office reg ochoa thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday just the two award winning journalist and author charles boss about one hundred years of secret need to nation with until then give it a try for media will be back on monday seven years to the day global pro. tests against neoliberalism are up to from buffalo to lynn cairo to cork in it they tell them to whip at least ten pin demonstrators this through the wiki leaks founder julian assange st paul's cathedral. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer and it mean when the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is

terrifying the is just no really the present and that we were even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. this is crude oil. soon they need to actually physically hold it out or else he would have well well well well well well.

there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there is an issue. here in the. they work well sixteen hours a day hard work well work is not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress. that outweigh. that comfort that. people have been murdered up here people can raise their massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. the u.s. security chief calls on saudi arabia to release details of the investigation into

the dissident journalist disappearance in turkey. also ahead on the program this hour facebook is investigating. millions of users days of a day after launching a cult. is clearly a political move when you have these major tech companies appointing themselves as the gatekeepers of political thought we've been experiencing censorship throttling . everything you need to be banned i've been banned back to back thirty days time. on germany's biggest state heads to the pole.
