former british colony take a recent new zealand t.v. investigation ily two hundred years since the worst of the british settler genocides that appears to have suddenly discovered the meanings of kiwi statues and investigation by t.v. theories the nation has uncovered some unpleasant history behind many of new zealand's public statues as him across all reports genocide and racism can be linked to some well known and celebrated colonial figures there's a surprise then there while new zealand has arguably still not come to terms with its white supremacist past the country has been sending its soldiers to support nato actions in predominantly muslim countries afghanistan for instance this was originally a us. in the early dies in new zealand first came in here and took our time i think it doesn't matter we don't any of our missions kiwis have this the same here and desire to continue to build and build and build a new zealanders in iraq to date the astray and you don't build panic capacity task

he's trying to approximately twenty one hundred iraqi soldiers and officers this is a significant contribution to the iraqi force against and already we are now looking forward to trying to fill two thousand soldiers in the coming weeks and like nato nations do zealand's ties with israel are growing no surprise then that on syria new zealand policy is so close to that of israel and the u.k. is the country's pm justifying military action off the back of a supposed chemical attack last year given the veto power was used at the security council by russia which is something we strongly condemned it was very little option in terms of standing up and giving a response to the use of chemical weapons which is it hard and it's a breach of international law also we accept that decision made by the us and by the cafe and by france that was before the un failed to detect syrian government use of sarin alleged by israel and britain. prime minister meanwhile this yes and

had defense minister to israel as israel bombed damascus. very friendly relations with the like to make the movie premier i'm all a matter of common security diplomacy. one for me this is a bit of it in a way but because i was here i needed to nine hundred eighty two was the year of israeli atrocities in sabra and shatila in lebanon unlike a defense minister the new zealand's prime minister did use the phrase one sided when it came to more recent israeli mass killing of civilians in gaza this is our deepest i've seen one sided loss of life and we would condemn the violence to his creation and i think it's pointing to say that the effects of this decision and the ramifications of wide reaching well the bombing of gaza has continued in the past few days joining me now is positrons ambassador to the u.k. go to his arms on what about that thanks for coming back on away from gaza perhaps

into a nice rivalry baps. pulling bowling that has been continuing over gaza you have disturbing news relax a mosque that seems to revive ideas of i don't know the killing of a moment i'll do or a spot of the second intifada what is going on in a lot of. government insists to transfer the situation this conflict from it being political and legal that could be dissolved to it being simply religious and they see the world through the prism of all make it for them depriving people of the right to pray closing off mosques would be the way to do so for the last few days there's really calculation forces the police have been arresting anybody who would go and pray in the mosque now what. one has government of doing of trying actually to push all of us at the edge and to frame the whole thing into a religious war between muslims and jews when in fact it isn't in this for politics is political. i mean the police obviously want you know indicted and the justice

minister that shock ed says clearly that the palestinians are in the role of going there to pray in that area and of course she's in the news or at least the social media the palestinians are wrong to go on pray and most of the palestinians are wrong to go out appears to be a position wrong and so the this israeli minister who was just releasing a promo about fascism on the perfume of this middle fascism and she claims this man is the most graphic ones to tell the palestinians where they can pray and when they come out playing with was like fascism appealing to some constituency is a bit and i base that she thinks would like the world fascism it's very dangerous playing with the files of the religious war and people is very emotional attachment to the places of worship is a very dangerous game this israeli government is indorsing well next three months one year since the great return march what do you make of this u.n. report possible crimes against humanity by israel report was welcomed by christian

aid and war and what israel says it will be investigating will it has been saying things will be investigating but in the history of the situation more than fifty years of military occupation seventy years since the neck but we are not aware of any case where israel has really done a duly you know do legal process and they have brought soldiers and officers to trial to justice. much of it is just sugar cake to try and cover it up when white horse shit in effect is what has killed more than one hundred eighty palestinians over the last few months mostly life on camera mostly civilians children women and what have you on these war crimes and crimes against humanity children thirty two churches that was very well documented by the united nations and then when the yuan fulfills its international responsibility by reporting these crimes israel comes and attacks the u.n. for being biased so this is the vicious cycle that we are in and that is why we.

violating basic human rights and basic international law provisions because there are no consequences and that's why we have been saying you cannot leave politics to local issues it has to be global and there has to be international scrutiny and the full implications of international law yes six thousand unarmed protesters in gitmo greg of your counterparts here in london says that they did every israel did everything they could to avoid bloodshed there was a measured response measured response i mean the whole world so what is really a bunch of the means by measured response i mean when you smile people from far away more than a thousand meters or two thousand meters they pose no threat to fully armed soldiers and they are a moment only waving their hands or they were having their flags and then you smile snipe them in their heads and just and you say they have done everything by the book i don't know which book the op looking at regarding sniper rifles razor may said nothing about stopping the export of british library rifles to israel we've

got record three hundred fifty million pounds with the military hardware going to israel in the past five years this is the legal responsibility of britain to make sure that its weapons do not end up in the better bodies of children and women and peaceful demonstrators the u.k. government to take up its responsibility at this point in time and make sure that its weapons are only was according to international standards and we've seen groups allied to the embassy filmed in secret in the know be meeting with reportedly like joan brian formerly of the labor party and i presume we don't million pounds doesn't come up when you're speaking to british politicians but it is the diplomat the diplomatic missions in london very different in their influence well i just came from the parliament after meeting several pieces and i do have very good access to the u.k. government they have been. coming with an open door policy and actually engaging positively and i must say we must. commend the you could go

a month so far in the last year to go on hot about its political position official position they have opals the thrum decision reserve usual sort of of the moving of the american embassy which will see them publicly opposed they have doubled the contribution to on the war that's the u.k. government and in a political statement above the rights of the refugees the pacific they have kept their very vocal opposition against israeli league of southern most of the occupied territories they have kept their policy of vision about a two state solution on the one nine hundred sixty seven borders so we are engaging the u.k. at all over the line of a road to raise a maze governor what do you make of the independent group of it they're talking about now which has very close ties arguably with the israeli embassy here luciana budget former director of the israeli embassy link labor friends of israel party independent group john ryan and other connections to this group the labor friends of israel tom watson deputy editor of the leader of the labor party. do you think they took tom watson deputy leader of the labor party they were friends of israel

before trip to israel is to raise them a holding the fort here for palestinian rights and international law against a parliament that isn't ghibli has four united nations resolutions palestine is not a party issue or a partisan issue it's a u.k. show it's a cross spotty issue if you go back to the vote about the recognition of the state of palestine which is an act still in waiting or being executed by the government which is the one act that would actually end up saving all of us both the palestinians and israelis and would in the actually buying time for the dying body of that was that solution and we could government to recognise a set of policies and hence the whole night is its own policy of wanting to see two states the argument that the recognition has to come off the peace has been tested for twenty seven years and failed this is a moment when we require leadership and leadership needs standing up there and saying no we mean the two state solution we would recognise this the two states we would give the parameters for those two states and then it would be the incentive to peace not actually the outcome of it everybody and do

a wants to see peace based on the two state solution based on international legitimacy and international rules the question is i was not interested then what to do about it and this is exactly the discussion that's happening with the u.k. government in the parliament and other feed i mean this is where it made a trade deal with palestine as it did with israel i'm not here to defend the u.k. government position but when we asked them about the trade deal they released a statement in the parliament the minister of state for international trade saying that any agreement with israel will not include any part of the palestinian occupied territories all israeli settlements are illegal according to the british law and british policy we would not accept any trade agreement that will infringe on the rights of the promise that you'll get when did signed the radios we signed sort of off the trade agreement because that confounds the u.k. government position that the land occupied in ninety sixty seven border area does not belong to israel it belongs to the same. in the trade deals with the government selling three hundred fifty million pounds with their arms to the israelis that are being used against your people but there's something on that the something else we

see the u.k. as a partner and we we see there is a lot of potential between our good talents and. in many of the other sectors the volume of all trades is very. small in comparison to other countries but it has doubled over the last three years only and we are aiming to continue in that ascending way there is a historic relationship between the u.k. and palestine and we want that relationship to be upgraded so yes we sign a trade agreement to protect the rights of our business community of all of our companies and to make sure that the business will smooth it's the responsibility of all the state and all government to do so with of the same time we want to keep. discussing with the you could go a month how do we deal with the other issues including the issue of arms trade and this i thank you most welcome after the break as europe lost its marbles and not just that we'd methinketh allegations of the cradle of democracy being held to ransom by the on the news poll i also told you about islamophobia while the fake

news president faces hard told home truths only small coming up about two going on the ground. oh oh oh oh dear it's. been a real good shot to begin murders. sometimes aren't lost community young people are deciding if they want to not like their parents not like them liberals. always struggle school again you always have problems but. it's the most ubiquitous going out there most police departments use it almost

overstayers in the school that they could get their hands on some twenty four hours . through it to chinese kids. racism about police brutality taking pride in them they are. all a part of all history. and america's policy in iraq has never been a smashing success but apparently there's still room to make it worse the secretary of state's recent visit to the region was full of bold probations and quiet reversals water years trumps policy in iraq.

welcome back joining us to give you some of the week's top stories as brokaw's travolta liberal democrat member of blended we'll solve bricks it's obviously in a moment at the end of this yes a moment let's go straight to this the loya jirga is in afghanistan today i think and gullible they're deciding on things or dinner with we'll be discussing this what is this nobody not independent group. courts war crime investigators will be barred from entering the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is that right the finest against his i think in this criminal eight ers the investigators why because they want to protect their american troops for man the threat of prosecution for anything they may have done during the afghanistan war they are doing already that the united states committed no war grove's of they don't need this international criminal court in a with their jurisdiction is due amaze me afshin amaze me if they've done nothing wrong they have nothing to fear why would they stop this kind of investigation if there's nothing to explore if everything is going to give a clean sheet that's the problem they've begun to look guilty by inference you

don't hear much. about this room the afghan authorities particular point is going to israel presumably he can back up the idea of doing israel a war crimes that have to do with their country either should we it's a matter of sovereign designed our own laws or not as these kweisi transnational courts decide who's right news wrong it's a democratic state that is fake news often fake news coming from you of all people ok with the next story this time the tories are in trouble tory chairman brandon lewis asked if he misled public of a phobia of complaints brandon lewis said that there was no investigation going on about islamophobia in the conservative party and then called nick cloves lowell's who runs hope not hate accused him of trying to mislead us and by the statement members of the public at least that's the accusation here because he says that there have been investigations and we all know what boris johnson said in one of his articles about letter boxes and women who are muslims wearing the burka of

course i wish with it's been shared by quite a few people i have to say as well that's not the point though i'm not seeing as i've been very good at hello you don't say and it's not david cameron in twenty sixteen using but edgy privilege to link the present mayor of london to the gun to isis directly i mean surely that's kind of true of the london mayoral candidate for twenty twenty sean bailey is that the. non-christian festivals in the capital have turned this city and you live in it of the crime ridden cesspool that robs britain of community a good mayor of london hasn't been elected yet in both directions labor and conservative there been accusations they've been investigations and it's really one side calling the other something completely that could be pointed back at them we've got two parties basically pointing towards their own potential hypocrisy in resisting being investigated that's the issue here because you're a liberal you want. to be libertarian after not a bizarre is really the tories lots of the same is becoming tall tales about

islamophobia the leader of the house and rare that of murder as a figure that said islamophobia the foreign office should worry about that there are british muslims as well about it let's go do something irish not the backstop i should just say the inquiry has been going on this week ten deaths of course their witness and ninety seven lance corporal in b. company two barracks truly frightening experience he's base came under heavy and sustained fire by ira gunman serves as the unnamed lance corporal in that investigation what will begin on bloody sunday this is all next about that's right accusation and counter-accusations and once again jeremy corbett is coming right into this by saying i think fairly clearly in the express corbin sparks theory as he says bloody sunday soldiers should face prosecution this is caused theory as reaction from the right wing but what he's actually saying is in line with what you've discussed about that lance corporal there should be an investigation and

there could be a criminal investigation as to gauge of the bloody sunday was there was an investigation but it could be a criminal investigation about whether anyone has broken the law now today you know once there are shattered northern ireland secretary the good friday agreement it is true said the there was no immunity. the back story on all these other negotiations is a sensitive and not just for the conservatives when i was shot a sec. estate for northern ireland we had a similar a very very sensitive approach to all sides now this is coming up again jeremy corbyn who is perhaps not really saying anything he hasn't implied before by by calling for this criminal investigation he's simply saying what thousands of people in the republican community in particular north mind are already saying i've spoken to them i know what they're saying and in their view there's a case to answer he's simply giving a voice to those until recently voiceless people it was the british soldiers imprisoned i don't think there's any chance of it at all it's not in the labor party's interest really and not the conservative party's interests especially when

they're desperate to get that handful of votes of abraxas from the d.p. thank you well jeremy corbyn is the only socialist under attack from the military industrial complex let alone over island and britain isn't the only country facing tough negotiations greece's series our government has bought over life and death with the e.u. since it came to power ahead of october's shadow of elections it defies e.u. orthodoxy refusing to accept brussels pick for president of venezuela and defying some new liberal e.u. austerity policies joining me now by skype from athens is series our m.e.p. selling us canoga to sell us welcome to going underground let's just actually begin given that not far from this studio where they'll give mobiles initially the bricks and vote i understand greek politicians were hopeful that you might get them returned no hope now as part of tourism is deal that the greek government are going to get their marbles back. something much bigger than just their return to the bar. it's about the great britain the little england you know

this or disaster made by the them up books in the u.k. and the extreme right in great britain britain and the nationalist they promised everything without any base just to collected some votes the greatest irish or stick to the colonial past you know and i think one of the reasons the brits think the big buck stops here is going to but well the obviously the british museum here in london refuses to give them back as it were and seventeen point four million never vote as might not all say they're right wing and stand the sinn fein were in athens recently do you think there will be a unified island out of breck's that though we're talking about something that belongs to the past to the quality of course of the well to great britain it's very unusual that it's divided and one part the northern part of the nile and belongs to another kind of usually i mean country so states are made out of you know google

creek do you think that opinion is had by your colleagues in the european parliament maybe. you know my right now it's about. mrs macy that. because of course the docs the tactics used by recently discussed you know well you may say that but you obviously believe in your party believes in the reform ability of the european union the european parliament what would it take to see me as a board leaving the e.u. i mean we already have thousands of refugees have drowned cattle and politicians are in jail your exhibition that i understand your range of political cartoons was banned from the european parliament can they do anything to you and you always support the european union how well i'm not going to that's kind of your fear you're not supporting or another you're very. with not much more democratic and

with much more money was there not in the union though you don't really understand i believe it is a big if the biggest invention of the last two shelters because countries that were fighting between each other made their sin millions of this people now talk you've got to be efficient to be the universe to be completed before because the polish is there and bush are in there no they are you know they're driving people away from the european union european union don't have to active anymore with the dish face which undemocratic and the majority of the people are working only for the oh it wasn't one of those levels again get to how successful you are in this project in series eyes in reforming the european union i understand the top one percent seem to have done relatively well poverty thirty five percent or so are in danger of poverty ten years ago maybe twenty eight percent extreme poverty up riffing social indicators over these years it was terence he had the

best of your beloved european union i.m.f. what do you make now that they want to withhold one point one billion dollars in debt relief depending on what policies syriza has for the greek people whether yes you know what there is outside of the european union you know probably three or i'll judge of the euro zone like great britain where or for the bogeys increasing now the degree of what happened is that that might hit the european banks from the usually then she could get it bones i'm sure there are lots of the greek economy in two thousand and two thousand and twenty promised to give the money but issues the it could only be lasered sector they get a grip on. mr shaw then meets terrifying us. minister decided to use it as your weapon or for blackmail. shortly after me did the money the money

belongs to barry to greece but leggett got the doc you can show us how we get the money but ashdod you but then you have to do to do something for me please give me your wife or something like that you know now there are what they're asking for our wives actually but what they're asking is more prevalent positions because that's the the idea and then they're not a very much or a certain state because we reached it in greece the median salary. in the submarine i'm sorry for young people blanked out for your experiment with what not but what are you going to do and i understand they also want less trade union involvement in wage negotiation what is your leader to press going to do when you are elected to be the party was elected by the government what are they going to do this is not only a matter of social justice but the simple economics you know you could use the salary you increase the construction that makes the the economy work but you just

said blackmail he said gangstas you can see why to resume and certainly people in the have the british parliament think there's no point in negotiating with these people at all i mean you yourself said gangsters there is only. solution tactic so if you go to the disaster you know first of all i mean you have to believe to do such. research mate does not believe that the brick should one thing that's worrying probably the buildings in one part of brussels and in another part of brussels the nato headquarters is of course the greek relationship with china especially given the port of up there has in athens is greece going to recognize china's belt and road initiative like italy is signaling it will imminently do why don't you know i mean. i appreciate you know because from new york they are imposing you very tough. measures and this is all or done supposedly

to do to attract investors and went to china first in this you know no we don't like but yes we want investors coming from everywhere because we need to do to reduce our you unemployment which is so very high you know still go. though it has been if you spray the shoes of it very much but still. you know if you're not going to go people are going to be elections any moment in greece what do you make of the european union as it meddling with your sovereignty judging that because of imminent elections the ruling party doesn't name syriza but it's clear that it says the economy may suffer if the kinds of policies in either one series that supports. to the fore at a general election no no jurisdictions will be will be shown to be knocked over

when the mandate of the first government and dish will be also going to. sign that greece is becoming little by little and not got to be ok with just very briefly and the right is winning or the center right or whatever they call it in greece in their opinion polls do you think the european union in effect will have interfered in greek sovereignty to get rid of syria's. at the elections to try to do that they tried to do several times but the state completely fight but i think the elections are you know it will be it will be a good to repeat it who couldn't we send if can all go thank you and that's it for the show people touch my social media and how they respond to infamous lobster psychologist jordan peters and his controversial twelve rules for life or so million see them.
