time after time jr what you're going on the ground of the day have to raise amaze bricks addressed to you leaders that could break up the united kingdom for coming up on the. fanes full maskey on what he told the british prime minister in downing street in the past forty eight hours later nations contemplate sanctions against saudi arabia a reported former wife of the late king explains why critics face death and why she is suing the u.k. government if you were looking for board a pregnancy or wedding to come to the wrong place i bet if you want to write a shop the view of the week's news join me in action but first major nation media has arguably only suddenly discovered the world's worst humanitarian crisis when it shows like. the saudi colonization the middle. thank

you for all. the polls. they can write. all. the gold the country philadelphia headquarters conga sky news that literally embedded in what looks like a saudi helicopter and all the while everyone with any sense knows that yemen is not just a saudi issue he is even a senior advisor to the neo liberal brookings institute admitting it is it to raise a major issue if the united states of america and the united kingdom to mount told king solomon this war us to and would end tomorrow but can oppose bricks and u.k. tell saudi arabia want to do for that matter going to post break that you can't even tell them what to do and when a post breaks it you can even be the u.k. someone who met with u.k. minority government needed to raise money for urgent bricks and talks on monday was the m.p. who represents gerry adams old seat of west belfast. he joins me now well thanks for coming back on so did you get. any assurance from tourism

a that island isn't going to be some sort of collateral in this bret's deal no we didn't at all. we didn't get on a target i mean we pushed trees in mail and were called mint has had to be also used the term collateral so. i mean we believe that they do you pay because they're in partnership with the tory government here and it's a friday what they are doing at the moment because their record their practice soundly in the north of ireland where they feel terrible about you as you did. i mean if you speak to a majority of people in the north around they will tell you who you are as it's filed here because number one their practice here is they're very pro. they're also against equality for many of our citizens you know they don't like people of my they don't have equal rights for people sure i want to get well just so they'll have like a less so that in a second but you know what you told it like it's a very important point because what we told her is that she is in partnership. we have to be who have racked the cold and in the north of iran and who are here and

england as well in britain and i think that's if i can describe their own because for us it's very clear that the d.p. do not represent the majority of people in north and in fact they represent a minority of people i mean we fear along with all their parties are absolutely and the majority with regards to remain and i think that's a very important point because you could create fraidy agreement as i was if i clear and all of its commitments in the mons with regards to moving forward with the practice stuff were it. i think it's very dangerous for these agents and thought was you know the do pieces it's for the millions that voted for bricks it but you must be aware that even in northern irish media little in the republic that some people are saying that it looks like there could be a big irony here that english nationalism not irish nationalism may bring about a united front do you guys are just smile as you read those stories or do you sense

the real being visible that you go elysian strew in the sense of i was going to bring back the reunification of our country is going to be republicans on the end of it is it really got me how would you i mean she has failed to unite. unite to listen to what you see which we haven't failed to feel to me that's a work in progress not exactly were what we're doing meaning these people can do what they want to me that's hoover dam and they can do we're not going to figure and then please politics but the reality is that shane feehan republican i have been a republican all my life i have been arguing and debating for reunification of our country all my life and i will do that on tell that day because i think that's a fine important aspect i mean with regards to the conversation on our end it's been more problems over the last recent months in the last year than ever before and i just turn to republicans making sure that. our job is to reunite our content our job is to do that and it's our job to convince as many people as possible

that's why we also research that effort no day and manage to cheat on the british government to ensure that there is a referendum on our unity we call that we are the ones who. reads out of every issue she sends us down to the saturday of state on the ticket for a day agreement sort of bluff their way through a question related actively talking about the do you prefer bringing down the supply and call for an agreement that keeps to raise the money and power which would then proceed to a no call from the prime minister and she in vain has a chance to get rid of the prime minister or get involved in perhaps a line down the irish sea the creeping independence of. including the sixth season you're doing nothing i wouldn't say we're doing nothing i mean we map the streets of miami page in european parliament our fate on a day and daily basis for three cards to work on with all the european states prisoner pressure on the british government as our ammi are t.t.'s in their houses

we owe her fate on a day and daily basis if you look at the press statements from what's has been relationship over the last here i mean many of them have been on projects not only on certain dates but also what we have done and that's about engaging with european states as input and teaching with the british government has been gauging at the moment in kids and what's the static and i think that's where we're trading our wage rate three all those different issues to ensure that number one is that we create trade agreement as protagoras attack that we are on the packet we are in the end we believe that actually comes in and it has a dark consequence for these agents republicans hammered as a republican i'm opposed to portrush i don't support it and i see i don't study to want to see one on the environment good friday agreement say that if polls show the dream vacation. would be a likely outcome of a referendum then it must be taken absolutely and that's thrown into the sacristy it to call out and i. i look at recent polls and polls are only polls but if you

look at a recent polls in recent times they hadn't that that tranda is going to thrash them or a lot of people want to see it and we unite it and i think that's a very important step but the people who will deliver that will be the people people themselves are you know how where i'm sure you must be of strategic blunders made by the republican movement in the post you don't see that from outside it looks like the d p is ironically forcing the issue here in a firm sales and if you look at all the the issues that they've been dealing with even the incumbent in the nor the parents they're clearly and of themselves you look at some of the our hitch i inquiry with regards to big potential i suppose mismanagement of budgets from the executive if you look at all that stuff not requires ongoing of the moment if you look at some of scandals that are there with the do you pay that the people plan their way through a whole lot of things they're rackers and that's exactly what. they do do but this inquiry we have new date really an installment which is the back bone over the good

friday agreement is not meeting your expected ever to really meet again will we start the wannsee the sound the back open on that's i mean we have worked very hard we had an agreement with the d.p. earlier this year and the day you can you are negs and that very issue with regards to the inquiry inquiry concludes sometime in the next month and that hopefully will report early next year we had an agreement with them they would they don't and we want to ensure that their rates that came from the very agreement and subsequent agreements are there for money and deliver to all sections of society a quality costs nothing and that's what exactly what that the u.p.a. are afraid of they don't want equality they are the writers and they are the ones who are doing damage to the north iran and could end up doing damage to the british government as well but we know since the twenty seven election that politics is on the fed in westminster when to resume speaks to e.u. leaders today. she can be confident that your abstention ism. mean the d p's. let alone because i know she's going to battle with them

because of you she'll be able to get her way or the do you people get their way but without shouldn't frame they do that well i mean i don't want to interfere in british politics i'm irish and i said listen even. if the irish are for me it's a foreign parliament i also cardillac it and got the largest food ever as here when people when i stood for actions in san that i'm going to stand sampai i'm not going to take my seat and all of our m.p.'s who got a lack of told out to all of our constituents would you think any of the west with situations knew that you would ever. employ a strategy that would hurt or damage the cause of irish unity in effect this is as i said to the people who will deliver unity as a people and that's where it's going to come from i mean. probably will make a big difference and westminster anyway but the point is my constituents turned her back on westminster they said they didn't want me to go to westminster because they

say what we administer has a little bit of oil a sort of united ireland never because we are fighting for your head around and that's exactly where we are and exactly we will deliver that ok well i think drazen may get to be confident that your policy will. maybe that something you just would agree on but then looking to the future what will you do with the european union to fight new liberalism. bank bailouts privatization because just like right wing near liberal polity as you cheerlead brussels at the moment well where we're not cheerleading and i think we have with europe and we have steered them. over many years in fact are for any piece across a environed. but we do believe that it is friday five important that we remain because to fix it and then you'd better fix it but then i think it's very important because the people and this is done to people the people north of around fifty six percent of those people for to remain. and the european parliament and i think that

photons to be respected i sure do respect that float and i hope that the british government can respect that's full disk well and just for me i know you don't go into the house as we did but when you watch conservative m.p.'s baby blairite labor m.p.'s on television talking about bricks it or do you think about their own just being of the issue of border in the north of i think a problem don't understand it they don't even realize they sure money how many of them how many might they speak to the people haven't even fears of the borders of the don't even make a very holy hell i'm going to vote no that's not that's next how do you want to put it now but we can talk about that all day for it to be the big story that put up. not just shows you the state of the tory party my point is that they should be engaging with people they should listen up than i how they listen i don't really think so but the european parliament has listened and they are certainly challenge the british government on this issue negotiations are still ongoing we were hoping

for. we didn't get that card so the uncertainty out there is causing major mayhem right across these agents and i think it's unfair it's on foreign businesses and on foreign communities and song. and all of our people whom we don't know what we need to know and many do. thank you after the break. the nation outrage following alleged we speak to the alleged former wife of the late king of saudi arabia about suing the british government. the royal pregnancy. old. review of this week's top topical topic with me and. after repeated denials the saudis are now expected to change their story on the.

torture that went too far donald trump is expressed concern but little more some are saying to get away with murder. let's face it was government official of president i don't have faith in the system so i've got to the broken system. as well it's very. difficult for you. those people in philadelphia ballot two paychecks away from homelessness.

welcome back well joining me now to go through some of the week's papers is journalist and writer for the u.k.'s leading independent news site the canary steve told paul steve welcome back away from bricks it yeah i saw this piece in the garden which we're going to talk about this of names of the policeman and you have knowledge of the subject yeah i know i know quite a few people who are witnesses there inquiry i mean this list of organizations which the undercover police inquiry or spike in organizations or go in for try it it's quite staggering i mean it goes from the kind of sublime of a community group in leeds who got a small grant of the government and somehow the police or their worth involved writing to the ridiculous the likes of the socialist workers party one of the sort of move ridiculed groups in the u.k. that imaginatively about to take over the country of course i think massive interventions by the police and the guardian released these names of all these groups huge amounts of groups and it's kind of everyone's gone. like it's

a very small story but of course the big question with the spike up saga is what on earth are they doing now behind our backs that we don't know about because it was going on for years i suppose any of us who regulates those names should watch it would someone goes up to them so they want you to be their friend that's goes here from the questionable figure frank field indeed the all going saga here so universal credit is forcing women into prostitution says frank fails i mean this universal credit story just gets rolling on and on and on and on and on the story here is that frank field says the women in his constituency upcoming so. desperate that quotes go into the red light district for the first time he says but this is just an example of the chaos surrounding this benefit now i mean it's as a news journalist very hard to keep up with we had the revelations from estimate valet she was forced to admit that millions of families would be two hundred pounds a month worse off and universal credit had to have it in their. blood to the

question was the there were lots of jobs for the ladies indeed there was and that was a standard reply she was giving in parliament on monday when she's being probed and probed and protests and it is a sign that with more people in work what lets people have to properties on the side both the standard stock responses which she which she keeps getting but the warning signs have been repeatedly given by charities and organizations of means in the trussell trust so food bank is going through the roof the housing association come out saying rental rates is rising and just before we went to record this program the government is at the back track on universal credit and delighted rollouts over it because of the concerns of the implementation and we also think they're going to bow to pressure and put the two billion pounds that people are recommending is going to be spent in the system but unfortunately you can't fix something that is inherently broken by design in my opinion and universe is if we would have a national living wage as a go to this possibly tweet from granville you know there's a housing association of the guy in

a store that just rumbles on and on so when fellow united tweeted that we've written to officials in light of the guardian story reporting toxicity readings on soil tested around. we're calling for a public meeting so the story behind this is that some of the professors written to public health in glens saying that sort samples from around ground five have been tested and they contain costs in cancer causing toxins including college and saw an audit in very high levels now of course what's been happening around ground zero is school children have been allowed to go back in this program it's around around the size of the people have been working in their. i'm going to be nuts to move back yet and i will in the cladding all of the buildings all around the country indeed yes and all the time it's now been discovered that there's extremely high levels of there is that all the evidence of the toxins yes the of course is just plays into the agenda around the government has been guilty of all along which is kind of

being on the back foot completely and then we had the stories in june of this year that one hundred residents were still not really housed together after the fall and while an inquiry and expense is going on in order dressing these days exactly and there's been accusations from companies that inquiry is essentially flawed anyway but of course it sums up what we've discussed on the show before which is the government sort of care not attitude to people it deems lower than themselves unfortunately. to corporate welfare we. will try it out of the corporate world richard branson sir richard branson and a far i've a fifty two million pound virgin rylan stagecoach pry out this is the news that richard branson dividends of twenty six point three million for him fifteen million figures for both companies can find that he got these dividends from the performance of east coast main line the no wrong doing well no wrong doing it if you are a fan of corporates this is the nation each of them really off the system before

the taxpayer bailed it out well essentially what happened is that these are the dividends that the company has made because these guys as a band you've been performing so well even though the figures show that east coast main line had the highest number of delays and twenty sixteen seventeen but that's irrelevant to richard branson obviously. yet this was the profits were made of these cars made on of course we had the alleged corporate bailout by the taxpayer which was coast to main ones companies virgin and stagecoach and their contracts early but as can't get out clause in there which meant the taxpayers two billion pounds out of pocket that they didn't have to pay out and of course the whole underlying story was is that the east coast. it was a nationalized industry a nationalized main line up until the conservative started to sell it off again so now i have to say there's been a lot of killing in this week saudi arabia nor much in the news about helping anyone in gaza at the moment instead there's a this i mean from one her own story to another so the saudi crown prince behind

quota murder of dissident journalist lines up it for manchester united with cochairman avrohom delays are due to fly to middle east next week despite international for you know absolute confirmation we actually do you know we should . probably indeed i mean the matter was reported this i think reported as well so it's got to give or the think this kind of speculation a minute but i mean they're on the long thrust of the story as of course we've had the for over a over jamal khashoggi the journalist who was allegedly murdered by saudi arabia this is a developing story that keeps going on apparently now we was in interrogation gone wrong is what c.n.n. have to scupper it and of course you have the background so this is about the conflict in yemen which the u.n. has come out in the past few days saying that potentially there could be the worst famine in one hundred years ago nothing though we have no we don't sell them four point six billion worth of arms and twenty fifteen when the conflict began nothing to do with us but good to hear thank you.

well this trade secretary liam fox wavers over going to next week's davos in the desert saudi arabia has come under concerted attack by mainstream media it's not for u.k. backed alleged atrocities in yemen but the alleged murder and dismemberment of a saudi journalist we though are going to look at another case raising questions of to resume is liaison with the oil rich kingdom could the foreign office be perceived in any way of attempting to interfere with english justice on behalf of those to whom britain sells missiles and warplanes in the past few weeks queen's counsel rumi take a different approach made by the foreign office to hide. judge peter smith it concerns a twenty fifteen trial involving. alleged wife of the late king fahd versus prince abdul aziz the q.c. said this was the first and only occasion in the course of my career that i was engaged on a case where the foreign office attempted to contact a judge although journo was successful in that twenty fifteen trial she would go on

to lose in a court of appeal the u.k. foreign office told us they needed a freedom of information request to respond to the following interview no response to the request has been given in time for this program joining me now is the plaintive in that case thanks for covering back on you won that case and the key as he says obliquely involve the foreign office you may have lost sudden appeal when crown prince moment when solomon was here are being sold arms by res raber so what's the problem the foreign office having been involved in the prior case my legal team out of it he said they really believe that. this is completely independent and i always talk to depict mentioning this and this program distorted but it's really not what i think a little of you again are just a matter of the first time a queen's counsel in his career is in the foreign office. be calling him each has

committed to hold my head and get king. so listen to the room in the middle of the cork i'm sitting there with my son so he called back to his room because that came too because mitt said to him i thought an office is on the line so they went in peek a smear towards betty but if the core of my. bet is. this and. the thought of this was somehow. because you didn't be harsh on the prince to attend because because it's wanted him in contempt of course you know to prove the exact conversation because it's a private legal conversation in that case though you say you plan to sue the british government. perception here that the foreign office may have. not to me

have they have a fear well it might that is what that is in advance they have that fear and i looked at my my legal people saying that the government is going to lean to the word the saudis and. lawyers had had it but that's an often they discovered that it was true what i said there is no independence of that but it's the system in this country and i have to tell the british people that it is true that is and. is now i have to call you lead. us on one thing that he owns his own nation which is fine that's his kingdom like to own and be ill and affect that but it just judicial system is really pathetic of course the british go to deny that they're in control of hosted by crown prince bin solomon decided to go claim you never were

a royal wife at all the saudis now saying that they deny that they had any role in the alleged murder and dismemberment of democracy shogi in an embassy in turkey i'm saying you may have. well let me just answer the first one regarding the why we have been cut is on camera. when they could think because you know i don't know why it was this are now told by the. saudi prince in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight because where i come from. the saudi people did look at the good the petition of that they had to skiing sourdough had like four to five wives and a petition i did it because i love my mine and i respected him and we had a suspected his wife who he is good mother of his eleven children and i agreed with

him that i had gotten that it's in secret that my father agreed with him too and we go we i was on duty would there with my husband i worked for him i worked with him and that's the way it is so his story opens him and so i saw a man and his high profile then at that time now for somebody to commit an act of what he did now with m.b.a.'s let me be very frank. i just want to differentiate m.b. as has been since he started this sort of reform he is in danger at the minute of the day it take guts it takes courage it takes i don't know what it takes to do what he did because i lived in saudi arabia in fear forward for the years at the d. i was thinking you know they might come and kill us and kill my family with me in the palace and everything so i don't know what kind of fear it is he has

a different fear because he cannot trust anybody you feel under threat from the british the british the saudis organs how distant what would be killing me this is how it is i didn't do anything i'm not political i only wanted the money i created myself so in in. his norn that justice is. being a prick and then killing it is noon i mean it's just they just look at blake so why would he put himself and then he's looked at that he wasn't corruption also made his money without the land. well that's not good and have doubts or we don't know and all you're right i just don't know how much only then you know his critical as i say this out of you know what i mean while i would be. honest to be. so i guess not fair and b.s. to be it's not. as if he didn't get that so it's your

money and it's mine i think in my opinion he shouldn't have been critical. thank you that's of the show will be back on saturday with respect to call in line a veteran of the struggle for irish unity about whether brooks it means the end of a divine they did dial in the jewels and even touched by social media will be back on saturday seven years to the day of the u.k. u.s. backed killing of the leader of africa's richest by capita country libya is good to . join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.
