or in terms of limit levels of luxury and so on but people on the other hand normally able to afford a tin of baked beans non able to feed their children on the seventh night of the week non-i able to afford shoes for their kids to go to school. norma able to afford a bus fare to get out of the village to the job center i think that is going to create a the united society as well no region of the u.k. had poor growth last year than where twenty seven percent of all children are in poverty according to save the children now add to the mix that health to the border with the republic of ireland is now a key focus of brics it and even the state mandated b.b.c. is broadcasting peace negotiators warning of warfare closer to home than russia china over others whether those who are prepared to use violence to achieve their political objectives will seize on any opportunity to use violence to advance their interests and try to stir up

a return to sectarian conflict joining me now is shin fein m.p. venerian elmore of the border of the republic of ireland mickey brady mickey thanks for coming in we'll get to thursday's irish border remain months and that's going to the second just remind us about the killing of the irish human rights lawyer for new kid in front of his family thirty years ago it was an absolute vain act i mean it was an attack on the legal profession there was an attack in human rights that was essentially state sponsored murder the british government promised inquiries that has not materialized the family remain steadfast in their quest for justice and truth and we would certainly support them wholeheartedly in that but felt perfectly was someone who is to be admired he was a human nature he was someone he fought for everybody respect of hey there were politics or anything else and. he did not deserve what happened to him we had the

family on they said david cameron in downing street said that there were forces in the british state that meant that he was going as far as he could to have that inquiry you see the same the the british prime minister would be to some degree in control of these dark forces in inverted commas that he talked about the reality is the british government did not want an inquiry into patronage can scarce because it would highlight their role and not particular kelly do you think margaret thatcher would have the killing of well i mean i'm not privy to what margaret thatcher did or did not the but i think it's fairly clear that there was it was an act of state sponsored party let's go to brooks it and what does the current prime minister minority government lead to trey's may what does he tell your colleagues when they trooped into ten downing street for a little nothing i mean nothing not as of particular significance the reality is

that the withdrawal agreement with europe is in play this the backstop is not up for negotiation the irish government are also in the process and continue to protect the good friday agreement the good friday agreement has to be protected and implemented and all its parts the areas government are a coker on tore us with the british government as a comment upon them to remain steadfast on this because it is an international agreement that has been large and they did nations it's not something they can easily be swept to say it's very much something that has worked and worked well from from certainly from a perspective as a representative in your area now american search and see but suffered greatly during the conflict mainly from the redish i mean it has to be said so we. really know that europe is very much in support of the great trade agreement it has been stated publicly on many occasions. all of the european negotiators bill the

european politicians and people talk about the irish border and i reiterate what other people have said an irish border is a border and ireland imposed by the british partition was imposed against the will of the irish people and if you go back there in a cellar written the hundredth anniversary of the first dollar and one thousand eight tain sinn féin one think was seventy three out of a hundred fave states so there's no overwhelming majority for irish independence a passage which are pretty. ignored so when we hear them talking about democracy it's kind of selective because they totally ignored the democratic process back in one thousand it ain't there now a ton and most of we need to abide by it which of course we do for democratic party but the reality is bragg that is has been supplied this problem as a british disaster the simplest out well over to the british government doesn't accept that and i think even the national curriculum doesn't accept the events of one hundred years ago but i go to us q given your mission frame politician you know

how the british media works why is the british media continually saying that the legal wording that may was forced to reveal could be changed at the last minute there could be a change of the irish back story is nonsense it is because the withdrawal agreement is there it's been agreed set the backstop is or the spin agreed that there may be some around the political statements etc there may be some tweaking of that but the reality is agreement has been agreed the backstop has been agreed the twenty seven countries in europe foursquare behind the irish government is behind it and it will not change to is she deliberately risking the good friday agreement the threat of violence which apparently tory holbrook city has appeared to be ironically threatening risking all of this to run down the clock to get legal through tory bribes the tears for equally tough budget project fear and i think when the lead to a return of violence. as projects fear coming from them i do not think there will

be a return to violence what i think is people actually ordinary people will stand up to any change in the good friday agreement they will stand up to any type of border at all a i'm old enough to live through a hard border i've lived three minute racist on the border and if you look at the border as it is there are something like two hundred fifty fav crossings running from twenty goal to kill and may own constituency i think when there was a border there's something like twelve official crossings but the border can consist of a stream and may own constituency in villages like jones the border actually runs through hayes's so you can have your lunch in the north and your dinner in the say you know how how do you regulate it i did it without i mean i spoke to david davis when he was and this practice secretary and he started a technological solutions that may well happen in forty years with no between in the living room examples exactly ok but there we have the provisional larry's

former head of intelligence kiran come way when he said if the british put soldiers and checkpoints up there maybe in the twelve points which they used to be a british soldiers will die may not his opinion and i certainly would not necessarily agree with a certain a far as we and the process of consensus are not in the process of returning to violence ok but then have the material conditions change so much that under the terms of the good friday agreement a poll in irish unity must be taken soon because of the possibility of irish unity vote i don't have data by the good friday a centrist and because you know people have a case of suddenly bring into the forefront our issue in a day where they're obviously in the agreement yeah but we're the oldest political party in ireland we have been. you know go in for the belief that we would have irish independence and that is our ultimate political goal since partition we have

. campaigned long and hard for reunification so it's not something you're irish republican we want sovereignty in our own country wants to time isn't the issue and the good friday agreement on the border pole is really at the behest of the sect of state of the circumstances. elaine i feel like it would be appropriate if today you or the president of your party told the prime minister this is this is this is the tame for a unity referentially have before march the twenty ninth because you can force the hand of the regime that's what they did the issue is in terms of sect of state has to call their british prime minister no one and cabinet has talked about it you know if the state doesn't go through then it opens or if for reunification they are as far as required to be specific under the terms of the good friday agreement there must be polls that show there's a possibility that the acid list would winning united in the house to be a majority fifty percent plus one there's

a recent poll in the south i think it was something eighty six percent of people. who were approached in the poll were happy enough that there would be reunification we live in a very small county will live in a condo of approximately six and a half million people we have to have everything if the education system. to place services to house service none of our problem and if you consider the. northern step that was set up a british back and nineteen twenty one was a short term solution to a long term problem that was to placate genius well one reason the people on the left ghibli would. be pro bricks it is the european union's position on venezuela with israel and elections are they as unfair as the british media tell us but. i could say that i was simply there to observe. the election process i wasn't there to comment politically or anything else and not respect what i saw and i can only

say what i saw and my own opinion the elections were fair there's a quite a rigorous process there was like a three stage for people to actually get to vote much more rigorous i thought than we would have here in the north or indeed in britain and so it was it was very closely monitored we were given some detail and higher as far as i'm concerned in this russian fans from cern it is for the venezuelan people to decide their destiny we can pray to thank you. after the break the head of u.s. secretary of state might pay is scheduled visit to brussels on friday we asked the un former top human rights expert about nature nation media complicity in the war on venezuela plus from the news dangerous days for hi visit and the dangerous hero who wants to be pm and likes to go camping all the civil coming up about to have going underground.

after a rather bumpy rollout the new green deal is upon us co-sponsored by democratic firebrand alexandria as the plan for a radical restructuring of the american economy and how people will live but the plan does not address just how much it costs how much will we have to go into the red become green. and. swayer both the food. bank itself. plus we've got to go through hard not to think that. this is the only thing

we do is music because everybody fights a useful way to. the floor and you can use all the food. that you have given at the moment. but i think is this is the funds that is all come from. you know world's big partners who mock us and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 joining me now to go through some of the week's top stories is former liberal democrat member of parliament lembit who pick them but. let's go to this dangerous man story this is a big story often the canary jeremy corbyn is definitely a dangerous arrow nice one male do you know what this is about i'll tell you as a book by my uncle tom it's called dangerous hero corbin's ruthless plot for power get this it turns out jeremy corbyn wants to be prime minister and it's worse than that he likes going camping and the constant daily mail serialisation we have fifteen pages of it fifteen pages of x. factor would be that he has a seasoned politician what does it mean that is he has

a distressing lack of he's found no pleasure in medieval towns how can he be prime minister of absolute it's worse than the option he can't tell own brand beings from tesco all kinds of there's some teleprompter and all those are that are available so he's civil tenuously useless and dangerous trays i'm a set of the dispatch works dangerous at the same time he's used the least dangerous of the useless and he's messy if you look at these extracts you'd find out that sometimes his room was a mass of paper everywhere this man can't beat the country and it will be his finger on the button of britain's. britain's grex i think into the nuclear weapon so never mind that he might. breck's it he might do a bad job of that we can't possibly have someone like him in power still dangerously let's go to this prison we have from venezuela in the saudi society is that reports yellow vests protest loses hand in clashes with police this is about iran all venezuela no it's not but the point is it sounds like venezuela the

demonstrations of these people are hungry about emanuel macron who used to be the darling of the disenfranchised and your party vince cable leader the liberal democrat said he was going to be a centrist like mackerel i'm not active anymore action i'm not active anymore well vince needs to take a leaf out of this book then ten deaths associated with these yellow vests thousands are just two thousand injured at least now what's happened here is the yellow vests have been telling the police when they go to demonstrate have not said if this is what we get if police violence is what we get we're not even to tell you where we're going to demonstrate now the local french are getting angry and this is looking really nasty and pretty much why do you think it's going to be written very much because it's not in the headlines because macros are kind of friend we have to keep them on our side during breaks it may not be doing a great job of that and snow is interesting is talking about places like gaza because it's far away and we think we know who the enemy is there a let's go to the british backed and occupied territories ready israeli occupied

territories of the morning stole us from morningstar reports palestinian teenagers shot dead by israeli soldiers once again we see a fourteen year old and an eighteen year old shot that what was their crime they were throwing rocks on the defender with the israeli government saying these people these rallies are defending themselves and they also say this is standard procedure so we still see this underlying level of violence once again not really making it into the mainstream press here in the u.k. eight because it's complicated and b because we have complains about told how to behave it in a new one under attack for alleged anti semitism birmingham unlivable labor bodies under attack way to. corbin's. in the name of what he told what some friend of israel isn't it the friends of israel that make the running which is why we don't hear about this it is complicated why because the u.k. has complex relations in that region we sell the guardians of pounds worth of arms into that area at the same time as having great peacemakers like tony blair go in

there to try to settle the issue there's nothing simple about this especially when you're facing threats that you need all the international friends you can get trade deals with israel very soon lebanon a big thank you well in the next few days old trumps us secretary said by pump a zero shuttle to arrive in europe to discuss economic warfare on venezuela with the u. fisher was the former u.n. human rights expert in the first un report to enter venezuela since one thousand nine hundred six professor alfred dizziness now joins me via skype from geneva in switzerland for welcome back to going underground so don't trump secretary of state mike pompeo should yield to meet with the e.u. leaders in brussels do you believe the e.u. would have acted against venezuela the way it did if it hadn't been for u.s. pressure certainly not modern refract the european union or other european union states that have recognized one. interim president are by only doing. fundamental principles of international law customary

international law the you want charter and. other norms such as resolution twenty six twenty five thirty three fourteen of the general assembly here you are dealing with a re boat against international order and every war against international law the principle of non interference in the internal affairs of states is absolute principle of nonintervention is absolute it is not for the united states canada the united kingdom france or germany to say well we prefer this individual. president of venezuela rather than mr model this is a matter exclusively for the venezuelans to decide and in a country under the rule of law and country that has separation of powers it's evident that the last word belongs to the supreme court to raise i'm

a i'm going to merkel macro let alone might bump a zero and donald trump say it was a sham election and maduro would it were clearly himself and therefore they have the right to go in cuba has already invaded venezuela according to his brother is active still and i mean ron is a prime example of manipulation of public opinion as if the world had not seeing enough lies from colin powell two thousand and three when george w. bush and tony blair attacked iraq to get there with their so-called coalition of the willing that probably the greatest single violation of the norm for principles since then norbert trials not only and tailing the crime against pays or entailing all that war crimes and crimes against humanity that. followed in iraq and after

a dark we saw the tragedy of libya and that was two thousand and eleven again it revolt against international law. another oil producing country now it's the turn of venezuela the only reason for all of this is to have a looting come pain to be able to privatized the all industry in venezuela and to have the profits flow to the one percent well that's the road crossing the red cross in the un appear to agree with you in that they're not part of this usaid project british media media and nato nations is continually showing us a colombian venezuela border bridge women duro is refusing to take in aid i know that the sanctions mean that they lose maybe thirty million dollars a day and this is only maybe twenty million dollars in one shipment but what do you

make of this picture of this bridge well it's another another piece of fake news i mean we are swimming in an ocean of fake news the media war in two thousand to two thousand and three in the context of iraq or in two thousand and eleven in the context of libya is quite similar to what's going on now and you would think that people would learn from experience and you cannot trust these sources of information on the other hand the sheer power of the conglomerates and this year power of the mainstream media are actually fanning the flames of war you know that propaganda what war is specifically prohibited in article twenty over covenant on civil and political rights you know that the right off and the use of force is prohibited in article two paragraph for all of the u.n. charter. and that doesn't seem to matter to the capitals whether it be brussels

oberlin or london and i find most worrying from the aspect of the creation of yet another precedent. of ignoring international law with total impunity going back to humanitarian aid which is an important point when i was in venezuela i had the opportunity of speaking with no less than twelve ministers including the minister of foreign affairs and they all welcome humanitarian aid if it's offered in good faith with goodwill and if it is distributed by a not throw a journey be it the international committee of the red cross or be a some neutral non-governmental organization if the aid came from.

switzerland from mexico from europe way certainly that is what i would immediately accepted what i cannot understand is how the torture or the torment tore off the people of venezuela has been asphyxiating the economy in venezuela that has cost the so-called humanitarian crisis that has caused the death to mark turner mortality and infant mortality and muslim christian and cetera that that concrete then there has to morph into the same here and just dresses the good guy who's going to bring them. food and medicines in order to solve the problem do i wait with the sanctions do away with the presidential blockade do i wait when the economic war and fight documented in my report presented to the human rights council on the tenth of september. the impact of

the sanctions has been devastating ok well of course people are going to was giving the coverage specially in nato nations media that even you are comparing it with iraq where of course millions were killed wounded or displaced sanctions of course a by bill clinton and madeleine albright hundreds of thousands of children dead why are you not appearing on more t.v. channels to explain this because this doesn't seem to be a view a tool in the media or in the countries which are backing the recognition of this man guede as the new prez interim president or they're going to ask that all of your colleagues by the b.b.c. and c.n.n. and fox on the dog chevelle i mean i have been. attacked by the media in. before during and after

my mission to venezuela. even before i touched ground in venezuela. some media outlets and twitter or and. and facebook were insulting me and saying that mine was going to be a fake investigation it doesn't occur to them that an independent expert is independent and the whole exercise is valuable because he's going to go to the country he's going to be on the ground speaking to all stakeholders and i did i spoke with members of the national assembly members of the opposition opposition non-government organizations chamber of commerce the churches professors students and cetera but i also spoke with the government because i was interested

in persuading the government that it's in their own interest to make certain reforms in order to solve the problems of the venezuelan people and when i put that down in my report i thought that there would be a syria's the bait there on when it was presented in september there was no the bait on my report because i was not singing the song that was expected of me if i had gone and said it's all the fault of chavez and other little socialism it's a failed system and therefore they beare all the responsibility i bet you i would have been on the first page of the new york times on the war in the post however since i said look it's not that simple. you have the dramatic fall in oil prices followed by

a savage economic war and at sixty eight shut all of the country and closing all of the bank accounts of the government of venezuela and open for only us venezuela you have bank of england refusing to turn over thirty one tons of gold worth one point two billion dollars you have that you're not a complete refusing to transfer nor nine billion dollars of sicko that belongs to the venezuelan people and that the venezuelan people need for buying food and medicine but no the idea is first starve them to first create a chaotic situation so that the people. revolt against the government well the mainstream media will not tell you that it is of course in my report on the other my report not being reported on

professor hall for disaster thank you and that's it for the show will be back on saturday to demolish the idea of a confidence means to be a success. he would not trust us when we do see on saturday the sixtieth anniversary of castro's it'll be rationed as president. simply. didn't have ten miles from the independent. or that stayed with. me today. it was the sort of my life who speculate hint that me or the now with jamie has a hunk on those. now at the five the. hell i got money

for that matter i see let him to make the point i meet with me on the metro have been closer here not because of me it's. no competition the stock price discovery say and if i say prices in fake prices beget big news that's what comes out of fake prices fake news you want to get rid of fake news restore competition in the marketplace to get real prices and then you'll get real. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution is here to clear the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent

revolution is always spontaneous or is it just a lawyer here i mean you are liz put me in the. school and you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. it's nice prime minister responded a puppet at the heated debates in the parliament where he lambasted the bloc flipping out of touch with its people. europe faced with an economic crisis without precedent.
