who voted to leave and a group of five people that flee who voted remain true for bricks that it's not the landslide you keep talking about and what he's saying there is about the vote in scotland which was overwhelmingly for a million but wasn't alarmed slayed as money points and finally left can be says would be cracking if mr samad was here on the facebook live chat to engage with his audience directly that's a great suggestion he will simply take you up and up and noticed as miller said this is our first on a vastly so let's take a look at what we promised you last year when we launched the show join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome to another part of our fit here at the alex i mean show now last year alex picked to be interviewed one of the world's most expedient leader is president michel aoun of lebanon seven hundred members of the boy general to go thieving

lebanon from vichy control and declaring independence in one thousand nine hundred forty one and i can see alex here winning the scene see a button but it. was my shot general who had a very cool customer as you say he's seen all of these is many many years in poland politics but they've been i interviewed him he just extracted his prime minister from the the tender mercies of of saudi arabia and was he a same with his cabinet he speaks great english is conducted to be not a bit because english is excellent i had an audience for from before the interview proper and he said to me he said first minister. could you explain to me the differences in the similarities between scotland and the let them. i said well differences climate scotland could be but you don't can be a bit cool lebanon's go wonderful climates and he said under some a lot it's so. well we're both small countries with large six part populations it

was says but no i was thinking more before problems before bush. and what would your message be as president of lebanon to the major regional powers firstly the saudi arabia and then to iran. who are busy but. i think that peace provides prosperity and security for all and war is a loss for everyone because all the resources of any country are wasted during any war and instead these resources could be used to contribute to the country's prosperity and developments we. were so proud of course doesn't mean the herself was involved in a bit of a cloak and dagger operation not in beirut but in brussels with the circumstances where we're trying to get the interview with carlos who is your mole the leader of

cattle already of what happened but there was a bit boring desk it wasn't i visit when we were told that we had to get to to brussels with a camera can receive a call at one o'clock. when they were in the middle of brussels not quite knowing what was going to happen next but at one o'clock the call came i was then told to download an app to give me further instructions i don't know who did that to my telephone looked it up and i've no idea probably possibly was of course because the security was apartment important to everybody involved that i was to download a fire that would give me instructions and eventually that came through with an address asked if we were to travel and we had to hide many of us because it is a state of brussels to get the distance we possibly can and we we turned up at this last large sort of pool club some amount of first the place was full of of delegates business delegates conference and many of the lisp i wish they would indeed have as i was a bit worried because when you're of course a peasant next i was about to turn up in there's lots of spanish delegates here and i i felt a need to to speak to them and give them some and so i remember that this is where you get the farm instructions if the. every picture certainly into the social media

that be sued by a scottish lawyer jointly and severally except we have a feed of scots law because he did exactly what he revealed and of course it was a terroristic entity and it was his first major interview in english. it was a tragic day to day because i see directly the violence in my face school in my hometown there are a lot of injuries i was of injuries of course culturally has featured highly on the show as agenda throughout the year and possibly even by slow and at interview the new president clinton era you're the new president but there's also a new prime minister in spain see an essential desire opened up the possibility of dialogue which will clearly hasn't been over the past few years yeah exactly i had the meeting with mr sanchez of so for first time in many years we had the opportunity to sit together around the same table and to talk about everything this is about the starting point we agreed these is

a political issue that should be solved politically now and there is starting these dialogue between catalonia spain but now we should see facts from from the spanish government we will be there we will be there to talk about everything yes the fascinating politics of cataloguing has been a strong theme of the show i want to for other features has been ireland important of course but also because i these politicians realized much earlier than british ones of the same proposition that i would play in britain's breaks at drama back in the spring in dublin they were laying the issues in no uncertain terms. my worry is of course that the permits some of the paramilitaries the smaller operations have not gone away they do not enjoy public support but give them a cause and that cause could be a camera on a border it could be you know it could be a mobile patrol on the border because here's the thing we know enjoy

a completely open and free border after brags that whatever we get will be less than that you have the teashop who negotiated from the the the good friday agreement. how much of a risk is the bricks of process to that crucial agreement that brought peace to the whole idea was to try and make. the island of ireland one economic eunice. so that we could move freely without any restrictions without any regulations whatever the trade was true or frictionless barter. which meant because now there are so many arguments but at the time it was a boarded up was free of any security and free of any checks free of any passport or regular to controls of any kind then leave had fifteen years plus.

of niland was developing and i learned that how do you cannot make links and was for compare fickling and unfortunately breakfasts and so many ways. i think the tories have played a very dangerous game no way can our and our show darren and or will our lands be the collateral damage in the midst of all of the ass now back that has of course dominated all of the headlines over the past year and politicians have had plenty to say bye to or an issue it's an issue which splits politics and political parties right down the middle of these two clips for us to clips illustrate this been almost a combo that campbell somebody i've disagreed with for just about everything but not as. a woman politician of it for many years i figured he'd with on just about everything except i'm broke. how i long for mrs murphy to stand up

and make a speech like this arvo should remain but on becoming prime minister i thought duty bound to deliver the result to leave i have tried but having looked at it every which way i've concluded it cannot be done without must have damaged our economy or public services and those standing in the world parliament voted overwhelmingly before the referendum to accept its result and the government repeated that promise and inexpensive pamphlet delivered to every home. it must go ahead to show the british people that politicians can keep their promises ninety percent of u.k. scientists were for remain in the reason is very clear where internationalists and the e.u. has been our team the government has moved us negotiating position to accommodate the demands of europe and it's impossible then to do a deal with someone when you show such weakness and may i think that the prime minister has at this stage now i got to consider does she take her heels then does

she even tear back some of the compromises he's already offered to the e.u. and say ok what we're going to fight about that's nine talks and usually body there's country and country or whatever certainly no reason but it was ninety four which is a bit more than half the number of countries in the double to use those questacon undertaking the u.k. is is a endeavoring of the moment i can't wait for it to happen and i really do believe that the united kingdom is going to do incredibly well on these trade talks that we're talking about when we leave in two thousand and nineteen then liam fox will be able to start those negotiations in earnest and of course the european debate the bracks at the bit which is very lively is also central to the scottish constitutional debate which is also lively i believe passionately that that britain should remain in the european union as a gray edifice a great historical purpose to the whole operation we should be celebrating it up but instead the party has to say the two look at the bricks at vote be concerned

about sending people when the nation's crying out for leadership the important point is that once we knew the deal between the u.k. we and the e.u. then i think they need to market very clearly a way forward as quickly as possible towards achieving independence we need independence as originally as possible so that can we can we can get scotland back up to the top wants of economic performance and realize the benefits of our own. resources for when people play in person is likely to be the m.p.'s could strike if the court frightens them or favor what would be the political implications of such a judgement was hundred. dollars huge because at the present moment we've got to raise a me and indeed her colleagues are left supporting our saying it's how we checkers or the highway and nor deal breaks it sure that there is an alternative which is that you could strike both of them down and you could seek to withdraw article

fifty of the court agreement but it's been both a privilege and a pleasure to vent if you'd some of the strongest women n. politics present and past starting first with their inevitable bang to fill in a kennedy and of course the former presiding officer of the scottish public that wonderful myrick half of the population in this country is female and so we should be proactively pursuing changes in the institutions which govern this country that means we have to change parliament and we have to equal numbers of men and women in there all parties should be required to have all women shortlists seats become available and we should start this between now and the next election people say it's me it must be a huge thrill for you to be the first woman president of the scores pub and of course it was for i used to see it. and response to that yes i was also the first result north we did not go to a private school. and of course who could forget your fascinating interview where

they're doing a comedy suddenly the i'm about was suddenly i was interviewing or in fact one of our viewers three to debate this set in energy nervous bonded back into asking where the set when it come from all of these creatures animals all this wallpaper but she said it's a special room that she paid for for money should you see from doing it that i'm a celebrity or a big brother but is quite something else i've got children behind me i guess well perhaps i should tell you that myself and believe there are these director decided that there was a grill of behind in the first place and i thought we should move that to painted necessity to put the giraffe not to did you know that you don't do it for. you even when you speak to people know if you saved me would we not call you this is coming very exotic or make some reference to very few political controversies have lasted what length of time or could i say first of all that being a health minister under margaret was. a wonderful experience because she was actually a radical prime minister if you could convince or something she would say go for it

and she'd give the opportunities and the finance of the world will get things happening she would find questions that you need to have the figures you have to have everything written on the inside of your forehead she didn't like it if you were shuffling papers she would fire a question you had to have an answer it was wrong alex you could write her afterward and say well i said fifty five million but it's actually fifty six she'd be fine with that but you couldn't say. coming up after the break we turn to show both sport and some of the human interest stories we've covered here on alexander. the global economy has been dead since two thousand and eight and through the transfusion of a lot of money it's been an american couple live it looks like something was going on there but now there's transfusions of cash are ending because interest rates are going to start ticking up so now that rival stinking corpse of the global economy is. start smelling really bad people are going to start bailing out of stocks

technology stocks housing stocks. semiconductor stocks yeah right just like sell sell sell sell sell sell sell and then of course you could have market down twenty thirty forty fifty sixty percent. while give easy val send this to us. and. the union said yeah yeah it's rational and. desirable of the. zimmer.

is a small. fortune for the automobile out of both this morning. welcome back to out of you with the full story of the alex salmond now when i started this program i had no idea i'd get the opportunity to interview winston chuck show it gave the. play company gave all. so welcome to carnegie hall thank you so much you know the joe. how do you get to

carnegie hall some by some have to have their own show. know what's new stuff that i did where we were all the way back late i was in the balcony. or one thousand nine hundred seventy four i remember calling my father saying i heard ella fitzgerald and they were paying me six dollars a night all of the politicians you played. because you played a range of. broadway performance in the film last year the churchill fell but you played a really played michael martin the speaker. so if you got a feel if my favorite character i put it was no. i did a film about my bourbon which was written by one called trevor gryphus this was in the ninety's it was about his last days and it was a fantastic film and he was he was an extraordinary character because he was the guy who created the national health of course was the new york city alex also had the chance to cut to the tartan day parade of the new york still commands the most

colorful displays of the place a premium on big. most of his on the parade of additional but i do most of the scottish design goes to see filch is a cool choice of we're not just some of the bad over the past few months we've had the opportunity to cover a number of human interest subjects including islam a phobia i spoke to. the this this this feeling this almost incumbent upon me at the moment just to keep going yes but it doesn't mean to say it's difficult don't you have moments when you wonder why you're doing all of this why you feel like you're fighting a world sometimes to no avail i can't wait for my granddaughter to have generations to be frustrated as i am today with the country essentially as a muslim woman i think britain you will know this you've traveled like i have been to so many parts of the world it's. one of the best places to be

a muslim woman but not in the political platform not in the political arena during the month of me nineteen members of the conservative party were either expelled or suspended because of the unsavory remarks they meet regarding the muslims we also covered the disturbing rise in anti semitism i had the privilege of speaking. holocaust survivor living quietly in london for many years what a joy it was to speak to and i spoke to the chief rabbi with some really strong views on the importance of commemorating the holocaust naturally and for his papers a four hundred francs i bought myself. some fords papers and changed my name to or bear myths they're born in i just know where so that worked for a while little identify who you really well then you will discover i met

a girl i fell in love with jacqueline was her name and. i told her that i was in the resistance. and one day when we had fried we between each other she went to the germans and told him fred you know that are all their mates there is not from our eyes a slogan but is working for the resistance and he semitism is a threat to our entire society so the fact that the british nation are investing in this initiative is of enormous significance and most of all to a holocaust survivors because they are really deeply worried what's going to happen beyond their own life time we need to let them know that we're going to carry the torch for them we will guarantee that we will remember the holocaust and more importantly we remember the lessons of the holocaust of course sometime sure both

and human interest come together both here from debbie arnold in the moving story of her mother with me as debbie arnold whose mother mary came to london on the very last train as part of the conduct transport program welcome to the simon show during alex thank you for having me but your mother told you a great deal about what she remembers of top exactly how old was she what it should remember getting on the train what was the last time she saw your gun pills well she remembers sitting on her papa's knee and him saying to her if you hear yes i know you're in england so she knew those words in english then she said that you remember going to the station and she was really excited to go and see a train and a station and she was with mom this was from vienna this is from vienna she was holding her mother and father's hand and her and she was there as well and she was skipping towards the train loads of people at station then she turned around and her mother had gone her father had gone and she was holding hands with her auntie

and she was looking around to mom and pop up a bearing in mind she was this high and then the next thing she knew she was pushed on the train and turned around and her auntie. one of the great aspects of featuring popular campaigns is that you meet people at the sharp end of great projects and states which can change your mindset which change my mind a bit but chess to this is what people near euston station think of it just to. point. actual. given that he doesn't see the. security challenge that. much of the it would be i'm saying right. off of it's strange well it's not collusion level. but i suppose we can go everywhere or tell him of the pros quite important. that were around the northwest and where we live is about to become the biggest construction site in

europe so to give you an idea of what we what we face we've been told by ages two that in order to develop the line they're going to have to remove three and a half million tons of spoil and that will mean hundreds of thousands of each of these heavy goods vehicles coming in to and out of camden some of our most favorite moments of course to be with ports press now ti's and later in such a study we're well to get a good opportunity to interview about muddy fields stadium and it's an absolute delight because i'm battling a crippling illness and this weekend i'll be acknowledged in front of tens of thousands of people when wales play scotland cup of skoda with not one but i've always taken the. negative side of things so when the rugby i always thought when the team was going to get dropped so if i was dropped i was expecting that so it would be a shock if i was in the team i was later back enemies that i didn't look too often talk to. them i want to get you know the and the reason why not in the same was the

attitude for a minute or. idea that this. what it was. everything prepared what it was so when i got told it was ok what do you know it's a ticket that someone has given me so let's go i'm. trying to get something sorted it was dirty wheels are up the legend and the motor racing legend is so jackie stewart jackie and switzerland and the thing with dodi and jackie have in common is that they're both engaged in huge campaigns in the case of jackie stewart it's the race against dementia which has afflicted his wife helen you've had some success in the weirdness of this like still much much more still to be done but some success now you've taken on perhaps the biggest battle of all the race against the mansion tell me why that's become one of your past approaches four years ago helen went to the mayo clinic in rochester minnesota in the united states and got identified as

having dementia. dementia has no cure current lee and has no preventive medicine to stop people from having dementia hellen short term memory know is very very weak something she doesn't know whether she's in switzerland or england it's a terrible disease thought many people what a terrible cost is to a family. and speaking of legends here's a wonderful duty might be a christmas show in edinburgh it's the woman to hold with a sponsible for two wimbledon champions i mean i would never have imagined when when i started out as a volunteer coach at dunblane telescope when my kids were in the thirty's and i did it to get to get at the pace and i traded tennis sessions for childcare because we had no money to judge me. so you know that appearance of the kids that i worked with they had to look after the boys in the clubhouse while i piloted the coaching and it just kind of snowballed from there slowly but i never would have imagined we'd all end up doing what we're currently doing

a month of sundays and of course our christmas your latest have some fees no fun with the very reverend i jolly i did win the life and what competition to the world cup and russia and you weekend and a lot of our stock and two hundred spending money or six rubles sex roubles to the pile and quot no after that but sex is young a lot the very reverent. as we are for these new television show songs of please i don't quite. know just the please came the reply let's play the lively foster bow tom it does me no one for the coming year well certainly the next couple of eps was a bit of a change of tune to to commemorate remembrance sunday and that starting of course with an absolute we've got
