that's been in the past and we're looking at know as they option of bringing that ferry back into service to be a completely new company on your preacher but we believe that given the potential of scotland given the fight we want a symbolic link with the horror europe part of scotland to the heart of europe i think that the team is as absolutely right to reintroduce this ferry service so obvious of a cipher as a first class a deep water port no problem there was also a majestic setting with the three bridges absent but as one of a checkered history of the ferry route as being a passenger ferry a passenger freight fairly on the freight fairly. mollies to operate continuously that's what we're looking for as a passenger and for a service that would be financially sustainable into the future we believe that p.b.s. federal preachers may be didn't have the same ideas that we have a boat making a sustainable making a long term prospect but with breaks on the horizon and perhaps even

a new deal as you suggest yourself with long queues going back from from the over we can't afford to house course exports languishing on the two for hours on end until they can access the ferry service and get through customs so that's why this prospect has really come to the fore in the last few months but surely there are constantly are going to be able to hold strikes is that not you can when you become of stopping your own plan well not really a thing the options can be complete with cards if you like if those are. then i think we need to in scotland a clearer route right into the heart you look for you know the markets in europe are not going away just because we've decided does that you key to its growth from the european union and similarly if there's a new deal then all the problems that come with i think scotland kind of we kind of leave school is industry left exposed their exporters left exposed to using. push

through dover or ramsgate or wherever we need our own ferry service from from before i was a minute fraction of scotland at the present moment i wouldn't have to go to the door for a round of all the possible difficulties or could go to newcastle surely which is pretty close to scotland bill is it really sustainable to have another us when those already one in newcastle where we think that is and you know that no one person or along the whole process of discussions has suggested that it's not a good idea that we shouldn't actually go for less. you know i think if we can make the numbers help african find new users of ferry service and maintain over a longer term then the national and the reason why we can't have that ferry service running from the. national level of support. seems to be the chosen destination of why is that enough you made contacts if you've been on a visit to drum up support already well however. the reports have

met with me here in westminster as well so as have the flanders government of the scottish government well the scottish government you know everybody saying the same that we need a good reliable operator to actually come in and run the service you know i'm getting you know months of support in terms of what people actually want to see the end of the day is how we bring the operator in and make sure that they have the values that we expect of an operator and see the service has been a long term prospect and i think from the tourism point of use my wrist i'm i've not touched on yet but from a tourism point of view you know i don't think the service is in the past have actually been marketed out well in terms of germany and northern france and italy. scotland remains a huge draw in terms of tourism you know this is another route that people can take that can bring their money in the motorbikes than most of whom you know as a whole the. markovic that you can clearly believe camper vans were not compromised

slightly in the camper van experience as there's no better country than scotland have the experience i'm sure so we've got goodwill obviously from the port authorities and aside from zapruder. from the flemish government from the scottish government it's a rule for westminster government if you've been pressing this and the house of commons what we need to be aware of is that the u.k. government of state fifty million pounds to support very contracts moving from to move goods from the south of england into the european market that's maybe fifteen million pairings if we don't have a new deal bracks that could be coming to support the ferry service from recite the source that the sponsors will use. i can secure companies who have got fairly so cool is likely and you know i think the from the. point of view he thinks that's an ask that could be legitimately put in there whether the u.k.

government be happy supporting a ferry service and scotland as another matter because everything does seem to be a bit so i think one focused but nevertheless you know i think there are discussions to be hired as regards the future affairs services across the regional ports in the u.k. but certainly when i want to focus on is the one in scotland and you know i think scotland has got the export potential to actually build a really good ferry service so along those lines and bring in fatal to illustrate as well that we've been missing for a number of years ford freakout the goodwill from the ports support from the scottish government that there's interest at least let's put it no higher from the the westminster government but what about the crucial question if you've got an operator and do they have fairly well we're working on right know those meetings going on there have been meetings going on just before christmas and after christmas. point where we are just now is that fair a couple of very ships have been identified. it's what we need to. go ahead from

one of the operators to say we think this is a totally viable service and perhaps we could the starting point perhaps at lease or charter the ship for a million forty years with a view to actually building a ship that would actually be for built for that particular in the future so you know i think the future is very very bright but we need to keep working away at this actually bring it through to fruition and that's what i'm trying to do as we speak just would you not see something if i have a last lead that was chapman. a debate about brakes which obviously support i would like like your continuation of your membership stimulate to perhaps saw a mother of chance to get the scottish link to the heart of europe is about either bill so we're going to see an irony but i think it's giving us an opportunity to really loot and rethink how he still sees itself. as an exporting nation and you

know those creatures would be opportunities are there opportunities that will remain within europe after all the biggest export market so why not concentrate. efforts and making sure that we have that direct link with the remains a few tip of the twenty seven countries that we want to walk away from so i think could be a great day to watch the fed is still doing that of a force and i'm sure some of those many flags flying aside westminster just no. flying is and also it's a different flanks but they really hate to have a assault on that ship and what it still do in the force one is forced on me to. find out what a brouhaha both these twenty miles and the guard nothing good is that not just about the brakes scare mongering there but all of the what we've seen as the number of customs officers for example in dover before we were into port was the common market number of customs officers there was three hundred that's no deterrent to train. before so i think there's just just patience the part of the campaign wants

us to remain you know that they can see a huge problem. it's going through their customs four or four over so are you saying that before we entered the single market what ninety ninety two there was three hundred customs officers must affect that we are harmful and that's why the maybe delays and and that's why it might be this huge load well it's likely and if if you anything that extends the same. truck going through customs obviously that squash huge knock on effects and move forward going to see i think. reaching out from a lonely too from my point of view it's much better to actually cut the problem over the past you know how to the opportunity for shortish exporters to actually export right from scotland right into the heart of europe and. this whole problem that squash exports are going to have on the till blacks and from from dover so you have to your garden tearing down family waste five members of parliament that if the

site gets its new passenger ferry you'll be able to eliminate the possibility of true faith well i salute lee you know that one of the things that people been crying out for the faith is a new bridge and you know we have the principle of crossing we have a real link and i remember him really well we have a real link right into the heart of the port that we can utilize as well so we have all the infrastructure in place that allows the fast transit of goods from scotland into the harbor you'd hope you know i think that's if you were in that to someone who was exporting and said you want your goods on a ship heading to europe on day one or do you want to still sitting in a big city dover and the three or four then that's you know that's a no brainer for me and i think we should be giving scotch exporters on the opportunity those chapman thank you very much indeed i think if i could think about that because coming up after the break after the break thank you they suggested alex gets the bay different view. point so what should happen next.

it was you know provision on my bike when i wanted to. get. his bus because. i drive. so you know you're not. you know just i mean. i mean. if it up i might. get off on getting worse but those were the oh.

my god and we've got a bomb i just got that already yes it will be and he. you know world of big. lot and it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome back the prime minister's banks a plan went up in flames this week by she still survived a vote of confidence therefore she presides over a parliament she still me. with no effective majority for anything this is how the drama played out isn't it the case mr speaker that with every other previous prime minister faced with a scanner defeat last night they would have resigned and the country would be able to choose the government that they want he has been calling for weeks for a general election in this country and yet on sunday when he was asked in a general election would he campaign to leave the european union he refused to. know who once not twice not three times but find time to see were serious to our side so one more he himself describes as the key issue facing this country

he has no so whether broke said alex someone fourth a pile of some of our favorite commentators to tell us a direction of travel if anyone knows they will. goals will be of the people's will . labor m.p. for the last and i'm just glad to be member for the helium in year west of violence so chris williams of us from labour's perspective how do you see things developing after this momentous week well it's an incredible place that i mean the government has lost by the biggest margin in history precedents it is pretty clear from the house has no confidence in this government will actually see the government falling and we could have a general election because in my opinion the only way through the us is to have a general election get a fresh new administration elected so that we can then negotiate a deal this fit for purpose with european union but i would also mean extending

article fifty girls. i think you know the direction you want to go if you want a people's vote how do you get there but seems very difficult to see that situation a managing from the well the first step has been this meaningful remember this is something that people vote campaign more pushing for we were trying to tell everyone at least give parliament the power to boot something into the long grass if they don't like it and there was lots of bricks a tear opposition to that now actually they've been using it to because we all recognise as you just heard this deal is appalling and no one backs it defeated by two hundred thirty votes to two on ratio completely crushing so that's step one down actually having this mechanism and using this mechanism to get rid of those bad deals with then reliance upon labor because labor. have a policy of going first for a general election so that is what we're going to see today if that doesn't come out and i agree we don't know what's going to happen but if that doesn't come out then the next step is right we've only got two options now one is into this death

spiral between no deal in teresa mayes deal and no deal in theresa may zero and then the other option if you don't like either of those is to kick away from that and to have a people's vote we do need a democratic reflash if this goes. it won't allow that to be in the form of a general election then we need to go for the other version which is the people's vote where we deal with the issue directly i guess president will for a general election you could no confidence until he's amazed government you're also for the people's vote what happens with the s.n.p. strategy if you get neither of these things following the people's vote also in an interesting place given what happened last night the people's will was predicated in voting on the deal as far as i can see from the website and the deal is no dead i do think in this and describing the deal and no deal as a death spiral what really needs to be happening and the perspective of banks at the moment i think so revocation of article fifty one might want to validated what i said in them afterwards but the time is short at the moment seventy two days to go so walk an industry hope for if we don't get over this death spiral as was well

described by my unit go for a revocation of article fifty as opposed to asking the european union for an extension thing i think the potential for the people's vote to be part of the death spiral as well because i think really what people's good people are about is a good article fifty revoked maintain their membership of european union if they go and have a vote or if they extend article fifty time it's been kicked down the nothing has been actually sorted alternately the choice in front of united kingdom is either in the european you know the european union and it's it's a no deal scenario they've got no or it's revocation of article fifty the thing that puzzles me in scotland is that we are playing too much i would say the people's vote and we should get on to our own people's vote there's only one referendum with a mandate in the united kingdom at the moment for any political party and is that i said i'm for scottish independence and not really i think is the way scotland should be going to ireland this year is through this process exactly the pill they've got u.k. government has liaise more often with the irish government to talk more often that is government that has with the scottish government showing the power of independence and we should be part of the e.u.

twenty eight or twenty nine as it would have been had we won in twenty four so getting started and should seize this moment of parliamentary crisis at westminster to forward the independents plans absolutely nicholas version of the steps at the moment is to identify the window. she did then identify the process and then she's going to get specific on the date she doesn't have to name the d d but she has to trigger the gun that is going to happen in the specific window i do advice summer or early autumn twenty nine thousand this year for a referendum a month or two states she could name the date she also needs to get the process sorted but what she's going to ask and if you're going to referendum she then has to pinpoint some general election which is doing that but the scottish people have waited long enough that we've been quite patient through the two and a half year comedy westminster we have to move on. this question of i've extension of this deadline looming deadline of march the twenty seventh come to be done by state or do you have the option of revoking article fifty had been even the labor

to get themselves into power you would need to. forward your plans i think the unilateral revocation of article fifty would be a democratic outrage and i worry that you know if it's not a lot of course well ok you have it all but. sunny for england wales i think it would it would cause that will potentially civil unrest i mean there's already a credible cynicism about the political process people feeling very very strongly with the biggest democratic engagement you know in the in the referendum look i campaigned for in maine by the way people voted the way that they did this is interesting i remain who campaigned for the main but even given the circumstances of the total boat. you still think it's not possible to maintain that position in view of the result in two thousand and sixteen idea because i think it would as i said be a democratic outrage and they would be really worried that the civil unrest but the key thing is redistribution of income and wealth the economy could shrink from the

six seven states not the tenth even biggest economy in the world but if we had a policy of redistribution we could lift the living standards of the ninety nine percent that is the key redistribution not membership of what actually number is. neo liberal i would just say we need fiscal stimulus no. the shocks of the departure will be sixty eight percent of g.d.p. we'd have to make up that gap and then some more. that's hundreds of billions of the why what do we just do with. the sixty percent g.d.p. and then do the m d a study to measure that we all agree should happen see my. members of parliament some last issues across a range of issues of very different strategies or how we got this conundrum given six hundred fifty m.p.'s many of whom ridden across the political spectrum how unmasking the people's vote campaign persuaded enough to combine together to secure

your objectives right it's a bit of a mess the moment in terms of where parliamentarians that is not an understatement as you were saying before you do need an extension in one form or another for those that want to crash out you can and need an extension as well just because the blockage of stuff that needs to get through parliament if you want a general election you have certainly got to have an extension as well in order to make that happen and if you want to address the issue directly through people's vote campaign you also need an extension that is something that at least we can agree on what i am talking about and what the others who want to people's votes are talking about is when you don't get that general election coming through you don't get to have your democratic refreshed through the new manifestos placed on the table that is denied that's a shutdown and you have a government that is a broken government hobbling on any way getting in the way of what you want to achieve getting in the way of what you want to achieve so how do you boot off that projects that has caused so much trouble and then if you were to have

a people's votes and the answer comes back we still want to leave on one day or another this government then has to deal with it we're back in the same place but if you have the people's vote with the remaining. then this government is clearly being called out by parliament and then the people forcing two and a half years of time their pet project is booted and you can come in with new manifesto saying now that that's out of the way this is how we address inequality this is how we address redistribution and all the social issues that are being caught behind the blockage of bricks it and the tories will not be able to govern from that point because the do you people have nothing to support them on they cannot govern from that point and they will also be internally split i mean if you're a labor person this would be a massive win for labor ok so it's at the bottom line one way or another the has to be an extension of. the moon with a political stalemate that is and that is hard to see a movement in the in the police the new much as i would like the voter new

conference with the prime minister today and to move on as well i don't think that's going to happen but i think what needs to start happening is politics in steel made economics to come in and steamroll over this the guys who are waiting for just in time might in fact sitting out of look into oblivion know in seventy two days time if nothing happens so they put us down reason that voices they've got to get into the revocation game body extension game and do it very very quick because if they don't there is going to be done shock the loss of g.d.p. is coming very soon because. sometimes government survival doesn't depend on having a majority to survive for this is about having the will to govern and i was very struck by the meeting live rejection of the prime minister's plans with business leaders according to reports from the business leaders the chancellor the break the business the different versions to offer the. never before is that in the case in that perhaps the will of the ability to govern may collapse in this government

whatever the result of the vote of confidence is when you think so wouldn't you i mean we are definitely in the territory here. never seen such chaos you know i remember the seventy four to seventy nine labor government. about three years in the minority but i don't think there was ever this level of of chaos but theresa may is limpet like qualities and she's managed to sneak around in a way which i would have thought was what was one of many possible i would have thought would have been impossible for any of the later lead it would have survived called in an election with a majority government and then find themselves in a minority at the end of the process over late it would have survived a vote calling the government in contempt of parliament or losing king stages of their finance bill but she's managed to stick around she said caustic ability whether or not you know that will will last i don't know she certainly seems to me so our last word so easily the hoody. politics but a phrase in the phrase the game of bricks the end game of brakes is to actually

challenge you've got this prime minister that is holding on to her place and the whole country is getting damaged because of it and you can't get any other agenda going forward because of it if you can't get a refreshing terms of manifestos then you need to take it on head on. well the end game is that we're going to leave the european union i think i don't think there's any way out of that and frankly i think even a second referendum would almost certainly bring back a similar result if not a big majority fully that's much my sense anyway of public opinion at the moment. for the economic damage and for leaving you to the end game objects it has to be for scotland to have an independence referendum and to move on to be a country like ireland to be a normal country of the european union a model you don't get when we see would stick to what the chaos is the west was that on the ideas for the future of the west was to be so on the fringes and on the edges we want to be part of europe would be given that opportunity scottish people it should be noted that in opinion polls in scotland european union is more it more

popular in the united kingdom well. position of total care so i wouldn't say you have charted one way through these waters. at least a way forward thank you very much. thank you bank. and sold the deed is done and thus the prime minister's european policy is undone that aides of january have passed and by an epic majority of two hundred and thirty the largest defeat of any government history on a central part of the political program but instead of being carried out in a shield the prime minister just carries on totally aimlessly wondering towards no particular destination whatsoever and so will parliament no assessed self and the girl she is softer breck's it or will we just continue in chaos and confusion huddling towards a cliff edge that if you really want to plunge off whatever has to be done no the husk to be more. the total folly eighteen months ago of invoking after fifty folks

what we could no disclaimers a british backstop that is knowing where you'll be in the event of no deal has never been more apartment but we now know from the scottish and european courts that this mistake can be rectified provoking article fifty at least agreeing a significant extension with europe no would create the time in the space for one of three things to happen. parliament could come to that elusive consensus secondly you could hold an election or three you could let the people decide again. but i have choices made that would be infinitely preferable to the impetus for this display of government big in office but not impossible and for a despite all position holding the parliamentary vote but no being in office and so for cause of me and the rest of the team is good bye for now.

is an officer. to get up off the ground. down. heard them on the sounds of. a grown man like wrestling essentially. through his. wish that away from the officer. of his crew. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and there would have been done she swung as didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and

that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he bit on three. most people thing to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out in the music business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. question. trump when he was running in two thousand and sixteen articulated a vision of foreign policy that was clearly at odds with what you would consider the sort of post-war liberal international consensus that that american foreign policy is held. there might be some claim that there are elements of that critique that hasn't the liberty here's the problem though it's not enough to offer

a critic you can say that there are problems with the existing foreign policy and then you have to offer something that's better person period alternatives and this is where i think trump is has failed miserably. for flight there someone else will be inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct. the drug is the cause like severe depression. because it literally need him into a zombie is crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know issues crazy and all that. the fears of traumatic things long time to get rid of.
