the world trade organization to bring the whole thing crashing down is always two dozen countries but they just go russia moves all of gloucester russia because we're not at war with some of the other ones but we're almost all with russia because they're they're evil it's moscow so that's the new deal bricks it in other words russia and these other two dozen countries they will aim to stop it and i should just add today is the day putin macro merkel heard it wonder it is all to talk about syria no sign and to resume the rusher anyway made bricks according to facebook analytic on the look of a broker to go to another they throw can it after another election arguably being influenced not by russia this time it gets worse well i'm not sure. that the news reports thing is prince harry and meghan speech even as it could influence the outcome of election which election not russia not britain the fijian election a former diplomat says that this could skew the result of a very silly if you're a pretty authoritarian leader and suddenly you get this couple people quite interested in this coat i detect well well using my journalistic i.q.

about robin now you might be on the other side within that he said he was fiji is. foreign affairs permanent secretary to last a quick last year he said the perception is of course that the fijian government will take full advantage of these turning out they can win. previously been pivoting to what china just the other day said australian companies will build its military instead of china this week trying to get in on three g. it's really important strategically right on the other hand it might just be a good visit and they get even more criticism that they didn't go to this this dependent surely got a knighthood or something i was going to think they're being used as pawns of the foreign office that's they're not just making a nice trip to the south pacific everyone who goes there should visit fiji i mean who paid for the trip we probably did i don't think the fiji instead and certainly the government of fiji didn't and what do i want i do want to pitch i just want to free trip to fiji then better. thank you well if meghan marco could be weaponized

to push for a nato friendly regime in fiji at next month's elections what about tomorrow's election in one of the most populous countries on earth i'm talking about the be in brics brazil and i'm joined now from the thirty three million strong city of south paulo by one of the world's greatest political cartoonists carlos le to call us welcome to going on the ground we've seen a u.s. secret service is of collaborated with elites in the western hemisphere for decades manipulating elections they did maybe appear to need to manipulate the elections in brazil to get what they want tomorrow is that the case with your country yeah i think so specially because you have proofs benon who work here for the tribe campaign and established a kind of. fake news machine not only in united states but also here supporting the fascist candidate in brazil but why did imprisoned lula the most popular candidate arguably choose had to run against sonora he was charged with corruption

surely the people of brazil though want a person charged with corruption over this new man on the block has had very few options the workers' party had very few options and at least this guy. had doubt made a good government when he was a mayor in some paulo he's not involved in any corruption scandals or kind of these kind of things but fortunately the pressure over to the start of the workers' workers' party is too big let's let's remind let's remember the workers' party suffer a kind of conspiracy involved opposition parties the legal system and the mainstream media nor did chew put out. way to start doing is from

the government impeachment of duma for example and putting. in jail you know so everything was working in order to put the party to the started as a way for the process i suppose we have to remember fifty of brazil's two hundred million perhaps don't care so much about the election they're living in sub-saharan africa conditions but how does says he wants to work with the i.m.f. and world bank if he wins the election who can vote for the well in the metaphor i think it's quite difficult for any government chew chew to keep themselves as independent from the i.m.f. unfortunately you know especially because how economy is to linked to the international markets you know we see you are under influence of world bank i.m.f. this kind of. organizations and while liberal mainstream media around the

world doesn't like balsa narrow bloomberg reporting markets are reacting really well to the prospect of also narrow winning clear preference wall street journal brazilian swamp drain they call him j.p. morgan chase election is his to lose what about that difference between the financial press and the mainstream international press a good question i think maybe ford international press is is clear the situation here in brazil is very serious because probably things we had the end of the military dictatorship we didn't have the strong possibility of having the first real fascist president you know ruling brazil i think the brazilian media it's not calling him by his. real name fascist because they are afraid of or be. because they are supporting him you know unfortunately mostly of the

mainstream media and brazil are cowards. power dissipation they think all we need to call this guy for his real name he's a fascist and no doubt a democracy and brazil is at risk with this guy no problem no not no nobel but in even the international media concede this of course he'll deny the fascist if he wins tomorrow but millions of people will vote for polson r.-o. surely some reflection of the fact that lula the little experience with the i.m.f. bit of a failure unlike chavez who changed it structurally. brazilians will vote for the left and they will let me try to summarize the situation how we reach this serious situation basically is because their workers' party for the things they

made right and the things they made wrong for example in order to rule the country the workers' party made many alliances with very conservative parties this is a wrong movie definitely one reason this kind of choice for being part of the game of the or league or key was one of the big mistakes of. this but. also that they may drive it for example the social programs that help a lot the poor people in brazil and this kind of things made the middle class to upper class very upset you know because they. were in use or to see black people in the universities in. poor people have a more possibilities to chew by. offer only for the middle class this kind of

things and this create a very middle class in brazil the upper class they got very hungry of this so basically decide to asian here is because not only the right things made by parted instable of those but also the wrong things but we need to add the two did situation the fact of the brazilian mainstream media created. by the feeling more or less like the anticommunist feelings during the cold war so what we have now and brazil is fascist history this anti. to the struggle of the anti workers party feeling sentiment fear by the mainstream. media is also one of the responsible for the average people. to declare votes for fastest because they are against workers party due damasio of

propaganda by the mainstream media but do you think that ironically sables an r o one at the election it could rake revolution something much more structural inevitable in brazil. river aleutian but at least she forced this social movement some reaction you know because all all the years of work is spotty. and neutralized i'm already called left more or less what happened there in the obama government and united states where the movement was counting too much on the government you know. so i think if we have a far right government. it will force the social movement specially the women's movement the black people movement the l.g.b.

tea movement the artist as intellectuals to some kind of her reaction you know all of us are thank you after the break after last night's long delayed rocket launch from cape canaveral legit greek queen guitarist dr brian gives us his thoughts on britain going into logan space after a break because it's. impressive well informed and dedicated public servant he is jerry corbett and pays tribute to a man alleged to have aided a critical cover up that led to tens of millions dead wounded or displaced dollars of all kinds of vatu going on the ground. prosecution. to become almost a sure. the fault is all. over you who push us off the threat of fines. by the number one place you do i mean yeah yeah i mean political pressure on that

god you've. told to security genocide knows where to put your kind of business models used by american corporations jadhav what he's sold on could be mental disease has a new album use. on the scene and the solution. is up in association. no two can he sell some dollars it is just somebody deleting. an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. the thing about saudi arabia is they the oil as a weapon if they get too close to investigating what's going on over there they push the price of oil up now on the last ten years because of fracking in america america position to stop us energy independent and no longer subject to the political pressures that can be borne upon them from opec and the saudis so we're

going to see a real test of this because. all of the litany of horrors coming out of saudi arabia is making people feel. fracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities needed to come up here to make some money like me twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year trucks or chose to truck people rushed to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal with. welcome

back there's been a lot. talk about journalistic freedom murder and bone saws this week so let's remind ourselves about u.k. use of angle growing does against journalism when revealing all of phone calls and e-mails could be bugged by the state. we. know you can see it's taken. to the computer while the intelligence agents watched overseeing the

destruction was top civil servants of jeremy haywood officer he had repeatedly threatened the editor of the guardian newspaper to return documents leaked by n.s.a. cia whistleblower edward snowden now taking refuge in moscow heywood was tony blair's principle private secretary it was he who was questioned over delays to the iraq inquiry because of the alleged cover up of blair bush meeting minutes tony benn on this program in what would be his final t.v. interview alluded to it when accusing heywood's boss martin did with committing war crime in a question about the war crime i think what happened was he gave a private insurance to bush the bush wanted to attack iraq he would support team and i think that may have influenced who. to go to. throw have written on my but heyward's role in maybe one million dead was not question this week by ben's protege labor leader jeremy corbyn who had this to say about jeremy haywood i do

join the prime minister in thank you the former head of the civil service jeremy how he would for his public service wish him well in his recovery and i have to say in my conversations with him what an impressive well informed and dedicated public servant he is now and what had britain's minority government leader just said that pm cues suggest to me hayward is sadly standing down as cabinet secretary and head of the civil service to concentrate on his recovery from ill health jeremy has been an exemplary public servant over three decades so then with the highest distinction prime ministers and ministers of all power. it is in the finest traditions of the civil service the finest traditions appear to include overseeing the use of anglo granges against journalism then and on continued arms export licenses for saudi arabia to threaten twenty million in yemen after bones was against journalism license will not be issued to saudi arabia or any other destination if to do so

would be inconsistent with any provision of the consolidated and national arms export licensing criteria and then july twenty seventh t. the high court ruled that our sales to saudi arabia were compliant with those regulations members of parliament there arguably on another planet to the rest of the british public meanwhile i'm here at the london fire museum to investigate a space age tale of tragedy and triumph the just released mission moon three d. reliving the great space race is out this week in the books authors and dr brian may join me now thanks for allowing we did talk to you about this presume we dole trouble very keen on a space force this book is aimed at him to understand in three d. what space exploration is all about yeah there's two very different things here this exploration and this war you know we're very much for the exploration side that i think the world was very disappointed when donald trump announced that he would take war into space you know that's not i don't think that's something that

anybody wanted from the old and certainly not what neil armstrong would have said because he wanted it to be for all mankind trumps defense says early on in the book that it is political from the outset the space race was of that's the great irony you know i think we all know that the objective probably wouldn't have succeeded wouldn't have been gained if there hadn't been the element of competition that's not war that's competition you know but it's in the context of a cold war which was in existence at the time but if it hadn't been that incredible incentive to win this race probably they wouldn't go out there which is a strange thing is because you think cooperation is the essence you know but. in this case no there were two separate peoples two separate teams striving for the same aim and in the beginning the russians were well ahead as you know he was only later on that the run the russians encountered problems they couldn't fix and the americans were able to win the race but why do you think russia has been kind of wiped out of it was it the moon landing success of the united states oh no no it

was before that i mean they will tell you in detail and it's in the book you know they they encountered some severe difficulties they had loss of life. they had the loss of some of the central driving forces and even tell me about corollary well i mean losing their chief engineers over should really the intellectual architect of the program and have the vision as well as teams working for him was a terrible blow there was a great accident much earlier of course at the launch facility the baikonur cosmodrome the killed some key people as well and then some just as with the americans some important participants were lost including the great original hero yuri gagarin of course died in the in a plane crash mishap so that sort of loss the difficulty of the program as well as the soviets having the sort of competing engineering groups who were working on different things without as much unification is they might have had

early on all led by the time of apollo eight is trans lunar flight to fly around the moon and test the apollo concepts to come back then to earth by that time the momentum really stalled out in the soviet union because of what the americans had done and these terrible tragic losses and then you have female castro in cuba you have the bay of pigs and as you put it in this book the my rocket is bigger than your rocket when i don't know as if there had not been that original competition as brian said you know we never would have gotten to the mood in the end it. zero one thing for j.f.k. to put his foot down and say by the end of the decade we were going to do this but it was very complex thing to do of course for any nation and without that competition of the order of that backdrop of the cold war it certainly never would have happened i believe but before the jig was up in the mission had been

accomplished by apollo eleven the american astronauts and the russian cosmonauts were already becoming something of a fraternity independent of the political powers and apollo fifteen for example left a memorial to the fallen astro explorers from both countries on the moon there and there's a strong emphasis in the book about culture along with the space race and the music and i mean there's a reference to the beatles in apollo eleven your band queen in the bowl of fifteen really you see these connections between popular culture hero of the book your lead singer as a surname of a planet and i think they named it after freddie. and it's no accident you know now we share this feeling that art and science really are not a separate as people have imagined you know we were all brought up to think you can't be an artist if you're going to be a scientist and vice versa but it's not so you know and i think the certainly the astronauts ical and the. community is very much artistically inclined these days

you know so yes i think that's one of the things which does it it really examines what was going on in the space race in the context of the broader context of sociology and and in general and of course politics there's a whole different side of this but which is the human side and i think we're talking about people who are so brave all these many you know with highly qualified winning also incredibly courageous and i think one of the reasons we we feel good about this book is we think it will inspire individuals to think oh yeah i could do that you know i could step up to that plane. because it doesn't just take technology it takes people who have a commitment and a passion and have the courage to follow it through so i think that's a good part of what i books about and of course the books three d. three d. you can have to explain how can a book be three d. this is a flat book right but the magic is in the back so seemingly dropping it. the magic

is here your stereoscope which looks like them something very simple but it's actually a very hard drive it connects to the internet virtual reality get all thing and we're doing it with you in thinking. this is victorian technology so you'll find your stereoscopic pictures in the book and they're not red and green these are stereoscopic pairs so once you get the hang of this which happens you know these wires which are cut on so that quickly in various ways yes they were you know the information is there and what we've done is go back into the nasa archives and trawl them extensively and find pages which work so for instance when these guys are in apollo ten they're so they didn't get to the moon but they circled the moon and they pointed the hasselblad out of the window and went click and waited a few seconds it went click again and so you get your two images which if you melt them in the right way will give you a stereoscopic experience so that's what we do here we we peel age the archives if you like and we make these stereoscopic because from them but the stereoscope is real and it's the same decimals i see not many people know that they were actually

tutored in the art of stairs photography they didn't take a stereo camera but they were trained to use their hasselblad like click click and to make a stereo pair usually they were too busy you know they had other things on their mind which is understandable safety cooperation albeit to the international space station didn't include china seems to be something that's key in the book even while there's a cold war going on what do you make of the fact that for instance certainly the i assess trump is saying twenty twenty four which was said you will do anyway to stop funding. but jim braden stein the new head of nasa saying it could be funded by private spaceflight do you think dr site here is the idea for now in that private multi billion as should be financing space you know i have no idea you know because what mr trump says and what he does two different things also you know is i don't think any of us really know what will be happening in a couple of years time but i think there is room for private investment yes you know but i think it would be nice and it would be incredibly beneficial if nasa is

continued and continues to be funded because it's in the national and international interest that we do this i think that regardless of what happens as brian said in the next couple of years the longer term vision for space exploration to take the next big step because the moon is very very close to the quarter a million miles to go i hope they are a little farther in to get the technology return that will happen from doing it going to mars for example which is very much in the crosshairs of everyone in the world who's interested in space exploration now buzz aldrin all the way down that's so much more ambitious than what we're talking about here with apollo and this era that's going to require regardless of what any president or premier says that's going to require international cooperation and resources from a huge group of people and private industry to try that because the ambition and

the expense is way beyond anything that's ever been done before but in the book this is essentially unity of spirit told i was going through it britain has just announced it's going to set up a new g.p.s. system opposed to the european union one which was set up in opposition to the u.s. g.p.s. system what do you think about all these competing countries i don't like all this separate stuff you know this sort of illusion that we can all stand to me the future lies in cooperation and so i get up every day and put my head in my hands about. i think is the stupidest thing we have tried to do you know this is another symptom you know and yes we can do things on our own but we do things a lot better when we cooperate with other people and great things happen from interactions in my opinion. we have a slight irony here because the interaction in this case was from two opposing camps never the less they were fuelling each other's efforts and it was so wonderful to sit in stammers and see alexei laying off the first man to walk in

space and he'll armstrong first man to get women sitting there and comparing their experiences and and coming together you know and sort of sealing this is this whole recent conference yeah the stone thing under bugs me that was a joy to say and to me that's the future you know let's cooperate let's work on strengthening the ties between between us economically on the one hand you know spiritually if you like and in terms of ideas and efforts in expanding humanity's horizon funniest and some retrospective use happen there's one thing that land of wrote a wonderful book about the two sides of the exploration with scott and so you have one from each other and one of the things he said was you know this terrible acts in the apollo one could have been avoided by corporations because exactly the same mistake had been made by the russians that's why they lost the first cosmonauts if only there had been

a little bit of communication if only someone had said you can't use an all in atmosphere in the capsule those deaths could have been avoided so in retrospect yes i think cooperation would have helped as well right maybe they were jack thank you thank you thank you dr brian may an astronomy editor in chief david j. i could speaking to that other side museum in london that mission moving three d. reliving the great space race is available now at all good bookstores right after monday when britain tries to pass a budget until then people judged by social media will be back on monday two thousand five hundred fifty seven years of a day or two moms can't. about it long and the sponsorship of the jewish return to this. trial has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the arab states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the

united states and i think trump understandings that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's policy because if you go. running to the with the flow to the best out of the tools of. the concepts those preparing to perform i had to actually prepare myself to die i. don't know said he'd what. as most of. you will know it was slow in the home of. her.

scanty clothes. but he had a good. soul getting. what. was that he could with. yes i did make sure. that the. toilet p.s.k. here you know. i would prefer to say that. the human space is. must become into prana terry wish me instead so we have a leaving in the solar system. and for sure we show that stands on other on other all this of the solar system i see this as a way all bring in and developing more technologists new technology so that we can even learn to say increase in improve the quality of life

on earth. the leaders of russia turkey germany and frog square together in an attempt to kickstart serious peace process but serious differences remain over how exactly to tackle extremist groups in the north of the war torn country if radical militants opposed this if they make provocations from inside the lives own but russia will reserve the right to help the syrian government of eliminate this threat of a military offensive by the syrian.
