what in one nine hundred forty two konya which indeed at the same captain captain sharp captain sharp at that time it is so if you go down with the ship. and the kind of a swell. in one thousand nine hundred four and these three ships nobody is mention them afterwards i mean it's very difficult to find any information on it was it just exegesis a war we knew from churchill's or the code these was big enough disasters bad news for the day that's why you kept quiet could you understand that logic or well it was on the back of dung kirk which is the time we only expected to get twenty four thousand people back. and in fact you call a third of a million. people a brain in the course of your research obviously you have met many many lancastrian families both the families of those who died on the families of of those who

survived how much does it mean to these people you have met to have knowledge mint of the extent of the loved one son of man. in every case you. lose the letters from survivors just thanking me for bringing their story to light because they're just forgotten well bring to. your work for what it's meant to the victims on foot appearing on the other simon show i'm delighted to present you with the quick. loving cup list you don't drill whisky of liquid and then run your close friends thank you very much thank you so really scotch mind. last week we saw how this confidential disaster is commemorated with such sensitivity by the people of britain after the break we'll hear how the main cast of families of victims and survivors finally achieve some recognition that whole perhaps appropriately in scotland but the ship was launched as i missed

in one thousand twenty two c.n.n. . blushes and i think she should he could go to horse in the beach he cut the host for the team your he said it's not that it seems it's a shame since that always shifting against. them into. a uniquely built in a circle included at least they knew a little bit i was one of them commenting that in the scheme to show. for which we believe you shirley's. given to us not to the south korean

is are still some of the come forward summed up. the money approachable british mr bush types are imo sure because. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. in the financial merry go round lives alone be the one percent until. such time as we can all middle of the room signal. to leave the room for the real news is

really more. dollars. dollars. dollars. i mean the dollar by dollar bills what ours are being. bullied. garrett over here we care the music with us. we are here with a dry jeer. by you are going to get rid of. you or not go away you will not die quite. real the heart of what we do is the.

welcome back assoon as the war was over a long caste system five years association this forms to commemorate the loss it ran for some twenty five years in one thousand eighty one the cultures were taken up by the h.m.t. lancastrian association which until two thousand and ten ran an eye on memorial service at st catherine creech art in london and also can i specify to sound as if it was to this church that in two thousand and five the belle of the line castillo with the ship's launch name the type of any of those just turned after being left with a note at level seventy and stored it means that saint catherine cree to this day. in all of this volunteer effort what was lacking was any official recognition of

the enormity of the disaster we asked the ministry of defense that it be willing to be interviewed or send a statement we're yet to hear from them here's a clip though from george osborne standing in for prime minister david cameron a prime minister's questions in twenty fifteen on the seventy fifth anniversary of the sinking of the lancaster if i might say mr speaker at the end of the session since you raise a military matter it is the seventy fifth anniversary of the sinking of the h. and t. . was the largest loss of british lives at sea in the history of this maritime nation some of the survivors are still alive today and many of course mourn who those who died it was kept secret at the time for reasons of wartime secrecy and i think it's appropriate today in this house of commons to remember all those who died those who survived and the families who still mourn them. however to this day and please press for more comprehensive government technology to do with a special poppy pen from poppy scotland with

a puppy in the ship's bell marking the last of him why only it would at least two hundred one men perished of the two hundred eighty three on board of stornoway at the end of world war one it was recently marked in scotland as a cheered however as we approached remembrance sunday one of the leader of the house going over a statement from the minister of defense on the loss of the hitch emptied on custody on the seventeenth of june nine hundred forty of sunday's inadvertently in world war two with an estimated four thousand dead it's the largest single ship lost in you came out of time history and it is yet never been properly recognised for relatives to remember their loved ones can rid of the hopes look to help this historic and justice. well i completely sympathize with the on a potential in this desire to raise they say she's here in the house we do have a full debate. on tuesday on the center on the system that would be an appropriate time to be able to raise ships lost during the second world war also i'm sure that

would be in order the honorable gentleman raises questions directly then it's peter in two thousand and eight the relatively newly formed lancaster association of scotland achieved a decisive breakthrough they were successful in persuading the scottish government under certain alex salmond to provide the official recognition which had been sought by so many for so long the scottish parliament swept aside generations of indifference and structural and cast a medal for the families the victims and survivors some three hundred seventy five have been struck over the years before the claims of formally closed in twenty fifty one of those attending the major said to many was robert track in the last few days speaking outside the scottish parliament he loved the experience of that memorable day for the and catherine families. rabbi welcome to. you have gone alexander to shank's was lost in the lancastrian that i'm interested in

a boy growing up the family speak about that all explain how you know your grandfather died. father released talk of the tragedy for all this reason and say but my mother gave me snippets and for me they had not so we go and for the nation on the tried to the incident we want to do up to doris day and from each other don't give me of course but. my father was the knave in the water i wasn't we have a tall. grandfather been among those lost and. i wasn't even aware of the wine cost us an instant because it almost been written history surely that comes to you but you find that strange i'd never have the cast if it was such a huge disaster yes. everybody would know about that and even to this is the thought more. of the news about who's to say this quite sure but i mean

this they have to be recognized by the highest level and did your mother over discuss what happened we have gone to how to define we've been told at that time to the zuma they got a letter from the war office saying you are mine your relative the your loved one has been lost and was that it was it was just a later see him missing in action so he knew all that information and it was a very start it was too late what the later in my opinion of course there was as we know no one effect of the news blackout. what many of us got on the stand this was exegesis of water i fighting for its life that said you know almost understand why that decision was taken was more difficult to understand this why did that continue after the war why when the danger was past why wasn't it openly discussed then. they never feel as a family you know we would deserve to know what happened to our loved one very much saw a cut on the start this the i understand there's still some way of being withheld

from the public i think we deserve to know we've got a right to know what happened to reality as i understand i'll xander but it was never a cover up. what they finally were led to believe as well it was it was never a couple. jumped over it was a witness saw him jumping overboard a but i was the last of this you know from the javelin streatch the waters continuously so i don't know if he was short in the water but if you try i could say that the graves and britney have lovingly kept on many many of them in june the seventeenth one thousand four. known to go out and i would imagine that alexander among those who were lost then get to know the tate to the settlement of that cut he had in the scots bottom and they said years ago yes i did the family feel after all these years to finally get that medal signifying that

the loss of your grandfather were delayed so it's a it was great to get recognition for the sacrifice because a lot. of. difficult financial difficulties much to come from the highlands and what the little ones knots why i moved along with school and put in a so it was it was really appreciated at school. and the keep the medal to this day yes of course free and along with your later dollars was a serious price to zation in my house. today but what i can give us there the quake struck us and you know the drill high i know you know the julia from luggage so whisk in the quick and i had family and friends tell you of all thoughts and i. thank you so much much appreciated. i just asked which touched the lives of so many inevitably leads to many coincidences as alex was filming outside the

scottish parliament with robert crick shank he was approached by face a visitor from sun is there he wanted to add his condolences there is no doubt that history's hidden disaster touched the hearts of the people of britain. michelle you've come to visit the scottish parliament where with your wife and you're from some azad implicitly tell me what does the loss of that lancastrian mean to the people of. vietnam as l.d.p. peace was on top i mean living in a place where martin sixty years it includes your pleasure do not as the young people was a disaster of. course and deal with it has been to buy them deal with the big memories that tell you the jury by moving to see that as you did going to war because you know the people. under which is. it was very difficult to do this if you are doing a lot of. good you don't just solely plows a city to do cool is. going to pull off course.

michel thank you very much. the two thousand and eight may just said a minute the scottish parliament was followed up in two thousand and eleven by memorial built on the grounds of the golden jubilee hospital in clydebank on the very site where they were just an office one stood off the quite shipyards where the lancaster was launched in one thousand twenty two as a time. as ever in this story the funds for that memorial were raised by the people by the lake cast association of scotland i was here on the banks of a clyde that our story has its beginning and it said. this is where the state was born at the time hey mia in one nine hundred twenty two the name was changed to a few years later because american guests find it difficult to pronounce and just a few yards from here is where they're like custer families finally achieve the hops desired and twenty eleven by having

a memorial built to those who died. it's difficult not to contrast the open hearted remembrance of the people directly before they get a lodging at the mission of the authorities in these islands and by denying remember the rest two things. if you don't remember war followed sacrifice of casualties then you run the risk of repeating the mistake and secondly will fight the members families cannot have phenolic for the loss of their loved ones. the white cast their families were denied both. and in two thousand and eleven when the requiem for the link last year finally arrived it was a people's wreck with. perhaps robert louis stevenson said it best. under the white and starry sky dig the grave and let me live and i did i live and gladly die and i lay dying before will. this be the vast you grieve for me he lies

what he longed to be. home as a sailor. home from the sea. and the hunter on the hill. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war

a nazi don't tour was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery ashe was a german company going until it develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. fracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive

a truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent. it's like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore it's just slowed down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want. to go right to be close this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first city.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot place the fourth of march if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie a process of them turkishness designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said therefore it's poor or very sad statement that i would be home by the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the crime.

this hour's top stories on newly declassified documents reveal that the cia experimented with a so-called truth serum on prisoners who had resisted other enhanced interrogation techniques. u.k. prime minister to resume a criticism that's off the saying britain could end up with no breaks it at all if i drop a deal is not accepted the choice of the forest is clear they steal old leave with no deal.
