your latest revelations from your reporting in syria your reaction to the resignation of the us about so the u.n. nikki haley you will see back warner sudden is called a moderate in the new york times for instance. a moderate neo con for sure i mean they clamor of approval from various israeli entities following her shock resignation. i guess all of us thought that after samantha power it couldn't get any worse and then nikki haley arrived and basically justified they israeli aggression against the palestinian protesters. tried to justify falsely they are rainy and involvement in the yemeni war that justified of course the u.s. supply of cluster bombs and other munitions to the saudi coalition to effectively korea a genocide against the yemeni people. and of course has supported. they

us curve their showing campaigning for regime change inside syria that is 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 if 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 got 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 lip of life basically being threatened by our side of syria out of the d.m.z. the demilitarized zone in the adlib what's your take on the well yeah i mean i followed jeremy bowens report he actually followed my footsteps into the christian for the just that border. and the terrorist organizations that are in camps in that

site 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 in 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 ated 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 by and lose your defense told us this week that the u.k. is bombing syria every day the latest figures they've given us a list dyess motorcyclists and so forth i knew that's a little further away from where you be maybe in the student syria would your understanding of what british taxpayer paid paveway bring certain 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 they're talking about isis yes of course they say that but in september two thousand and sixteen let's not forget that the r.a.f. was involved with its reproduce in the u.s. coalition bombing of syrian arab army forces that massacred seventy two of those forces and enabled the advances of isis interest to teach it 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 year. coalition there is isis

fighters came in from the east from the direction of us 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 see 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 in the u.k. that i'm aware of why was this massacre ignored is it because there is cooley's in

between the u.s. coalition and the isis forces in an attempt to destabilize syria in venice again to the british media the supporters does the british government support the white helmet along with the jokes motivation 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 the go shouting with the syrian government with the russian military places guarantors so we entered an area which is still under the. troll. 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. the head of the white home it 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 its received one hundred fifty dollars a month that was information was given to me by these white helmets which slightly negates that clangs people and say is it also is probably three times the solder area 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. were led by israel and crossed three they could nature

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 no refund leaders 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 canada or 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 sell. 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 an effort to elicit sympathy a pro of 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 nurse or a front complex the nurse for front headquarters were directly next door to the white house center that i visited they told us that while they had no if any ation to us for a front it was very likely that every other white helmick group in syria did have a video a chanson us for front were led by you know sort of front militants but of course they had no for the ation and 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 under the syrian government's rican troll let's say if this

area which again the gate the mess that was being put out. and the p.r. agencies that run the narrative for the white helmets that the syrian government would target the white helmets and was a threat to the what home it's so the fact that this group was able to function despite the syrian government retaking control of much of the area where they were working. contradicts that argument the foreign secretary announced cause them more than here is right son of the head of the white helmets of course told this program the north of italy eighty two. when you speak of people being resettled in this country and recalling the area on the ground a concert disaster in manchester what do you think of the fact that child refugees are not being there's a child to a refugee camp of four hundred eighty people i asked juries i'm a hear about three thousand child or refugees from cali we're living in your implication is people the. could cause harm here in britain at the expense of

letting in child refugees who have real reasons for british protection when you're talking about the british government's giving emergency resettlement to the white how much while ignoring the plight of thousands of children they've also ignored the plight fixes and translated from basra and iraq who were left to be hunted down by the death squads or an afghanistan fixes and translators who are also later murdered a yemeni translator and fixer has very recently applied for a visa to the british government's bailout succumb to the u.k. only for training and that visa has been refused this is sheer hypocrisy from the british government in resettling what basically could potentially be another threat to the british public on british soil while ignoring the humanitarian plight of thousands of children who fled the war that has been incubated from men said and imprisoned in workplaces in homes in public space and the answer it is takes in

kind of the history of this country in a way over that period there in the there's obviously the blitz the blitz was a huge turning point for the fire service because it was when people in advance after the joint sponsor civil war were the bombing of guernica and people began to wake up the idea that there would be bombing on a large scale from the yammering events of the war and the fire would be used as a weapon so the fire service had to be massively expanded for us is a spurious small union at the time we gauged not discussion and the union grody union tried to as well as a side as well as defending the rights of firefighters 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. yes. it's to

fight several phases but one in the in the fifty's and sixty's about safety in the workplace when what people have now fire escapes. 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 far as 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 sonne from then tory government and from plainly commercial interests who didn't want regulation of what they were putting 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 privatisation of your industry your emergency service is not so affected by ideological privatisation i think people would be surprised at the sorts of things that happened so we had a world renowned college in the most and gloucestershire that is now privatized and run by capita which i think people would be shocked that 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 fosters 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 fossil is have the 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 whether it's ladders how 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 you expect government to bring that under democratic control again well we would hope that that should be very much part of the in some disasters we had the case in relation to the london fire brigade where a firm 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 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. commission called and she said nothing would be changed in response to

a grand fail catastrophically 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 the 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 us. obviously the cuts were made 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 the ground 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 well i think it's people very sharply that. we're paying the price for bailing out the banks and i think all members pensions have been it's at the pipe has been a chop the jobs have been attacked so that's i think the point is some can very well with lots and lots of people the city of london i think and you compare that with grenfell what you see in the city of london all very expensive buildings with very modern fire engineering systems in place and clearly with forms of evacuation the. means of evacuation an escape that didn't exist a grumble tower that says something about the society we live in and policy and regulation and about council housing and how it's treated well just one final

question we had a journalist has been on the ground in syria and she's tweeted a picture of a british fire engine and you know the line of fire as we said would syrians by donating equipment that is used by the syrian civil defense the white helmets has helped save over fifty thousand lives in syria the right head of the white helmets that some people are linking to groups where it is the fire service helping al qaeda in syria i'm not aware of picture you just shown it may i mean from the fire brigades union we have done international solidarity we've taken foreigners to palestine for example we. segmented into syria and we would be very careful about the political sensitivities around nothing that's a question for the. if if indeed that's what they've done happy one hundred years merak thank you very much. this month minority government needed to raise a maze own environment secretary warned the new deal bricks it would be disruptive

to the environment but even without breaks it was the un intergovernmental panel on climate change telling the truth when it warned the world as twelve years to reverse transform nations that could spell the end of the human species joining me now is greg ajah clean vehicles director at the european federation for transport and environment joins me via skype from brussels greg thanks. inning us a time for celebration presumably there that even mainstream media finally awoke to the i.p.c.c. idea that policy needs urgent change if we are to be alive as a species i don't think it's a time of celebration but we've got twelve years same sequoias ocean but i think it's very positive that it was a good response more now and it sure is that there is a really constructive action from governments to make sure that they actually follow through and made sure that we really do start to prosecutions. the i.p.c.c. show the media already some people are saying there why is it the world wildlife

fund in twenty seven said we had five years the u.n. climate boss for mcglone. for garrus last year said we had three years and then this week we have twelve years to understand that there is uncertainty. but it could be pointing in the same direction that we need to make incredibly rapid changes to our society because our use fossil fuels it was we sure that we heat in the line to achieve just why mahathir griese of war because if we go the consequence of sooty all we can. show is very severe whether or not it's five years or twelve years it requires action so that now i know you specialize in vehicle transportation effects on the climate because that's what our industry or our stories want to see happen slow progress and what do you say to these leaders and these politicians when they tell you that some of these.

leaders make it shows you the. office reg ajah thank you and that's it for the show will be back on monday just the two award winning journalist and author charles ross about one hundred years of secret need to nation was until then give it a try for media will be back home of the seventy years to the day global pro. tests against neoliberalism erupted from buffalo to lynn cairo to cool candidate to lead the whip at least pending demonstrators this through the wiki leaks founder julian assange get samples cathedral. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it mean when the death penalty just because i think that's an apparent 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 hasn't been that we're 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. i don't have faith in this government official of president of the f.c.c. the system i said i've got it's over i'm too liberal for the system so that's a sign for people like me. as long as there's. different people who are here for different reasons but also job loss.
