really commit to commercial and industrial suicide because they need to listen to the west and. the west financial press they need to listen to their own. who'll say you must go to begin today's. cannot afford. the amount of money they'd have to borrow to to build this is more than what they're actually e.t.f. is actually worth e.t.f. denies that but the reactor in southwestern england is based on an e.t.f. design in from of ill in france in the past few days france is nuclear regulator has accused e.d.f. of mismanagement costs have now had to be revised upwards in the project will be delayed according to labor leader jeremy corbyn a key point see will not only push up the cost of electricity but involve giving a blank check to e.d.f. for a power station that doesn't work well something that did work was anglo-french partisan cooperation in the second world war crucial was the forerunner to m i six the so-called special operations executive joining me now is award winning journalist

and author of a fault alone the true story of the star brothers british secret agents in occupied france charles welcome back they're going underground tell me about the special operations executive ridge operated everywhere except the demarcated lines dictated by moscow and washington london's allies were special operations that could it was was an institution created by winston churchill in july of one thousand and forty the british had withdrawn their troops from dunkirk during the german invasion but when they withdrew their troops they also withdrew all of their intelligence assets britain as we know famously stood alone and they came up with the idea of creating a sabotage unit to hit the germans from the rear and churchill said he wanted to use a swede to set europe ablaze and that the in the case of syria in one thousand six hundred nineteen eighteen it works to assist an invading army. but probably on its

own it would have failed and the same thing with these insurgencies in france the french resistance without the allied invasion would have been useless in ukraine since you mention it at the bowl tix he said seventy five thousand dead civilians because of this kind of insurgency and civilians both yes i mean obviously this misunderstanding is not because they haven't watched the david lean spiegel film but in fairness to teresa mayes campaign in obama's campaign in syria i mean as far as we know there were they never give coleman to obviously to us there were special forces fighting us along side perhaps isis linked al-qaeda linked groups trying to overthrow it is there were two programs in syria there was obama's first program which was the title fifty program it's called which was covert and secret that was done through training camps in turkey and jordan and insurgents were given weapons and sent across and many of them immediately went over to isis or some of the other more extreme groups and the trainers didn't go with them. when when isis came and

took a large chunk of eastern syria western iraq there was a title fifty program which was completely public of to train injured to train insurgents to fight against isis and in that case the special forces did assist mainly the kurds in northeast syria and that was all public and that that was that was when they did go in but the covert program if if anyone went in and it still isn't known to the ignorance continues with his it's very very hard to direct a campaign from inside turkey or inside jordan when you've got hundreds of insurgents running around in syria and you don't you don't you're not seeing with seeing them in the case of say george starr who set up one of the most effective resistance networks in all of france called wheelwright network he was there living among them every day disguised as a belgian emigre living in southwest france retired mining engineer and he lived

daily with these people so he knew what they were doing and he could he could control their movements any he could control who got the weapons he didn't give weapons to just anybody he had to know them and trust them. unlike operation timber sycamore obama's failed campaign city case of timber sycamore even the obama team any from i've interviewed admit they didn't know where their weapons ended up because today over easily we have think that there is a british parliamentarians is certainly. united states people hanging with this group the m.e. k. trying to perhaps use them as insurgents who overthrew the government of iran they were only us terrorist list. with the emmy. we're one of the early resistance groups against the shah they were religious fanatics and marxists were they were that at that time they lost out in the power struggle to the moon was in tehran they fled to iraq where they became proxy forces for saddam hussein

i myself came upon a massacre that they committed in the village of car and year in iraqi kurdistan in one thousand nine hundred one where they went through the village and just shot everybody they could see and ran out again and they were well known as saddam's people. and they and consequently iranians even iran isn't like the movies don't really trust them and for years because of their of their behavior and because they used to plant bombs in cinemas in tehran they were on the us terrorism list but after the american invasion there were thousands of them in a camp in iraq the americans took them off the list and now appear to be having good relations with them and the fear is that the cia or some other american intelligence group will use them against the iranian regime which means that they'll use their agents to assassinate people or commit other other crimes and is

using again the template for your book again a misunderstanding of this kinds of use of insurgency against a foreign power or a government i would say i would say in isolation an emmy cake campaign to overthrow the mullahs would fail if it's done in conjunction with an invasion it might have some hope of success but invasion would be much even much bloodier and much more chaotic than iraq was because in one sense regarding syria you've been saying that actually the fact that to resume and obama failed in overthrowing the government of syria may be a blessing because it would have become a center for this but i'm not the only one who says i many of obama's own advisers to whom i spoke in washington recently including anthony blinken. jake sullivan and others say that the. victory in syria would have been what they

called a catastrophic success that syria would then have become anarchic and a base ruled why jihadi operations in a major arab state might be much more. of a threat to them to the world than the near afghanistan. thank you thank you after the break while britain supports violence in syria and yemen in saudi was is the kingdom using its diplomats to commit crimes all around the world and before you choose there was hollywood but why as one of its found is being written out of movie history well the simple killing of about two of going underground. no news in the world the. underwater.

total around us. a little money we didn't know. oh you ought to go to. see the movie for you. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. i know mike you know don't pal not i'm not that. type of time told paul enough. to know me well i. am only.

in from ten there is a trade in young girls' souls into an underground six in the street sometimes but the people they trust the most. other i'm not a cup of coffee. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washing clothes for watches the hot.

welcome back saudi arabia has been receiving the full extent of mainstream media rough this month but it's not for the u.k. u.s. backed saudi bombing of civilians as numbers of the dead in yemen even this week all that let alone the bombing of a school bus or the millions at risk of famine it's the alleged murder of a saudi journalist joining you know it's a political satirist and saudi dissident got a milder sorry cannot return to his home country for fear of death thanks for coming on the shows award is it about what seems like the tragic case of jamal khashoggi the trumps on the one side women driving now in saudi a great improvement and the world's worst humanitarian crisis because of the u.k. backed support for saudi prince mohammed a result but it isn't him it has to the west as a reformer honestly i was happy when i saw the women dreyfus already but this is their right it is a it's the grease this think i have it is so deep but to be honest their greatest think should have been is so that he is freedom of speech and election

which we didn't see coming but is is going fairly hard on anyone who is just speaking up their mind people has been jailed based on their tweets and last year two thousand and fifty sixty when when the executed fifty two people and one of them can emit a name it hugely criticised their competence naive and i think this is their only crime so there. is good writing and outrage he's much like silencing people in the kingdom but he's going abroad to anyone who is speaking up there might as you know and you're a few months i was attacked here in london in broad daylight in the thirty first of august because i speak up my mind and the attack of these just shouting who are you to. talk about the saudi royal family they said your atari spied. on during the

thing there they say that to anyone and if you all follow their comments in the social media i'm not a qatari spy i'm now is that i really spy and every day they give you any kony this is what the northern territory survive and i've been abrogated to israeli spies who are these people i'm presuming they're investigating you your understanding is there were saudis who were visiting london who wanted to actually yet attack the media it wasn't to try and they attacked me and it didn't feed us of course the saudis and did the disappeared from the ok we do know their names and the police are investigating this but i have nothing to comment about it because i'm not government confiscated i don't know who what their names and who they are working but in my incident tells me they are intelligence and they are doing what they've been told to do nobody can do a such action without permission from companies or think himself we know that

country from a site nobody can do that especially in new york a or in europe. but we now know that the in the case of the turkish magazines or the turkish finance ministers printed fifteen suspects we couldn't name them here i mean it is the b.b.c. it covering the pictures the brands are covering it here they could be suing for defamation very quickly if any of those pictures are not true what do you make of these suspects intelligence suspects in the case of the alleged murder and dismemberment of shogi into i am not shocked. they're so decent fifteen to commit this a crime in turkish soil i'm shocked that. he himself was lured to turkey and he was soon in the. two to walk in that

consulate from the evidence that came from turkey we see clearly this fifteen there was lane and waiting in the consulate for him to our life i've been told of from a source in turkey the turkish analyzed the water that coming out from the consulate and they found blood on it so this is this is shocking if the dismembered to hit him in there in the consulate but let's go back and. go through this what would you use in the diplomat in order to silence any forests or to spy in any position in two thousand and three. so do you do here in new york eight was expelled by u.k. government i would name him you assume ronny because he approved of police officer in order to obtain play for two formation in saudi a position he's here so this is in the media and so this tells us that there's so

do this using the diplomats in order to commit to crimes basically i don't know why they are committing because there are a lot of aid from the west yes we see president trump in the last month or so he's just appearing in t.v. . you need to pay you have to pay i'm sure you have to pay he never asked kingston man or cone brains to stop committing crimes abroad three years they have an award it is ongoing and nobody's benefited they said they are there to bring their legitimate government but the only one suffering in yemen is the yemeni people so and we see children being slaughtered you know so. this responsibility is to their u.k. government of course and to america and by history who were to destroy our i would call them thugs. in power who put them in power and i think they have

more power on them to what to do to make them behave gallo to say thank you you're welcome sir. well while london has the film festival leo in france has the festival named after the pioneering filmmakers the lumia brothers but a new film be natural narrated by jodie foster destroys forever the myth that film only had founding fathers the documentary director pamela be green. joyce remember power things were going on how could it be possible that no one has basically hood over the world's first few will film director well academically have heard of her. but i think like many stories it's not been pushed to the masses. and also i think she hasn't been properly documented and gazillion all watching things is. a guess who is here she's the first woman film director in

the history of film who wrote or directed a produced a thousand films and had a career in france working for. and in the us she had her own studio she's the first woman to have our own studio this many first with alice. and so she was a privilege of this entire studio says it was it existed only east coast of america along with power modes and forests and all the other one of the pioneers at the beginning and i think not only because she's a woman i think a lot of pioneers tend to be forgotten because being first isn't everything and even if you look at the beginners of my space or you too you don't know who those people are you just know that that's a medium and whatever comes next is what people know is what's the what's your latest so i think being responsible for moving a medium forward doesn't always get working condition but she's so much more because people are going to have

a different slant in metropolis eyes and stuff and in your documentary actually eisenstein credits as cuba shay not knowing that it's her because as a child he saw a film where women act like men and they're in charge the consequences of feminism in one thousand know six that he saw as a child and he depicts it in his memoirs scene by scene and it was only through detective work that we realized that that's the film because there is no other film like that i don't know. working with go more she came into contact with the with famous names in europe at the time we fell just describe that all clear of innovation in its barest of that it's kind of like the first class of silicon valley of paris eight hundred ninety five in a way. you have maybe steve jobs and bill gates if you will so it's like path am gaumont and she's there at the right time at the right place where it's a photography studio and all these people are experimenting and they're famous

inventors engineers scientists etc and they're walking in and out of this photography place to use that device for their research etc us she gets to meet a lot of people and mr eiffel tower himself is on the board of directors of the company so she's she's in good company and i do there is you do comparison for firsts and they were doing things like the you tube video because but when people first were using cinema they were showing things like reforms and so on you. does put narrative in the emotion of the film. exactly that for a younger audience to understand cinema because it's you know early cinema it's so far away we're like one hundred years apart from the beginning of cinema there are like content to me cars and when you go on you tube it's like all what can i do with this device you know i can jump up with a etc but she was a daughter of

a bookseller. the heat her father had bookstores in chile and she learned as a child to read a lot of stories and experience a lot of travel as a child so she connected the storytelling with the medium of recording and that makes us special because she's one of the first people to do a narrative for a second doing away from the identity politics a little and judging i was one of the innovators in all the east coast studio system. i didn't know this story how edison moved hollywood in effect to hollywood from the east coast using would. yes so he basically it was it wasn't just him but he had something called the trust we could only use his cameras in. fort lee new jersey and he actually had detectives come out and if you weren't using the camera you know you would get in trouble but it was really his board of directors that created the problem and investors and basically that twelve people

out to california but also was the weather too with the combination everything is not always only one thing it's usually a combination of things a bit. was probably more way more progressive than the d.w. griffith would you say or a race in particular revenge press saying that using race as the united states was she made a film called for in his money which was supposed to be a mixed cast and once the white players found out that they would be coupled with black players they decided that they don't want to be part of it so they thought it would be embarrassing so then she decided to make a film with an all black cast which is also very unusual and so she writes she directs you builds into studios is that employees under the variable. rights these scripts are the same claim of pioneer is that how directors can treat actors

because the title of your film is being the true word because she had a sign in her studio that said be natural so she wanted her actors she says that's all i asked as i wanted them to be natural and it became a known factor about her but again not documented for us to know about it today so it took research finding some of these articles and interviews and different people talking about her to be able to place her. in that era in history and for it to be her legacy if you will and then like you know i didn't do the politics george will be sexual the gender race the other side betrays a man betrayed yes just describe out why we've never heard of this basically that's why we've never why i think it's a combination of things people didn't think cinema would have a future and didn't document it properly so her name wasn't really listed on their early films but also once anything becomes viable and it has money.

the women get pushed out and the men kind of take over and that's what happened there's many women that there's like sixty other women that have been discovered after alice i mean she's definitely the first but there's many other alice is out there we just need to find them and we need to to document them and there's more there were more women back then working and there are now some respects probably green thank you that's it for the show we'll be back on wednesday to speak to the alleged former wife of the king of saudi arabia about meeting your bogus shoji and possible foreign office interference in a case that would end this to raise and they had all these deals with a little bit been so all the love in the deal then to talk about social media we'll be back now with day thirty nine years to the day that mother to raise their once worked with alleged torture and cia boss to the house will win the nobel peace prize.

what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to. watch it right for us this is what it looks like three in the morning. be careful i'm interested always in the lawyers in the house. to city hall. who cannot operate as united nations this is not just one run but you n.d.p. world health organization and in fact other international organizations like the international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like gaza with pragmatic cooperation with the locals or ities which are hamas in this case here on or has been for most of the last few years.

let's face it was government official of president i don't have faith in the system plus a i've got it up to liberal the system is not designed for people like me. as well as this. different people who are here for different reasons but also john we also hold. most people in philadelphia are on the ballot two paychecks away from home less a. little

bit of. luck. of course today is not an easy day for the c.s.u. we didn't get a good result it was somewhat painful day for the german chancellor angela merkel's conservative allies in bavaria who is set to lose their majority in regional elections that is the right wing and the greens make historic gains also to come this hour on r.t. donald trump's trade war appears to be backfiring with china's trade surplus in the u.s. reaching a record high despite a repeated measures and

a deadline for terror groups to withdraw from the demilitarized zone around series last report stronghold expires with jadis fighters staying put and france is facing a legal challenge over almost two hundred nuclear tests conducted in his overseas terror.
