whether it belongs to misha's not the u.k. let alone the usa britain you see had a plan for the che go silence it was a plan that hinged on shameless exploitation over a five year period one nine hundred sixty to one thousand nine hundred fifty every single. women own child was forcibly removed in secret from that islands and none persons been allowed to turn for the last fifty years to go since have lived in poverty but why the purpose of the sonic station was to facilitate a lease to leasing of the largest island in the chicos archipelago vehicle garcia to the united states to allow the construction of an enormous military base. the base that means to be. we now know that and turn for the next in the chicos archipelago oh and expel him to speak off the u.k. government received a cost of eleven million pounds on plot. nuclear missiles yes the ethnic cleansing

of an entire people is one of the prices britain paid to base nuclear weapons in scotland it would be for u.k. pm david cameron to launch an inquiry into alleged torture permitted by a blairite labor foreign secretary now president of the international rescue committee has covered on this channel nearly a decade ago the u.k.'s intelligence service was given the green light by a former gov moment government minister to interrogate terror suspects in countries known for using torture tactics and that comes from information released by security sources involving david miliband who was britain's foreign secretary into a few months ago critics say his actions amount to sanctioning torture but something miliband denies miliband on the anti jeremy corbyn side of things on foreign policy may not have been complicit in torture but today the u.k. seeks a trade deal with india which participates in today's world court hearing it is after all indian company tata that owns jaguar land rover which claimed that bracks it was behind its decision to sack four and

a half thousand workers india it seems though is not on britain's signed marcia's has been and continues to be the sovereign nation for the cheek was. india didn't support britain's stance on syria in the voting with russia and china are indicating as strikes against president assad were illegal something on next guest agrees with all the u.k. media appears more interested in alleged isis brides in syria well joining me now from moscow is president bashar al assad's top media adviser talked about the initial bond with a thanks for coming on the program going will trump says he wants the troops back but i understand that there is evidence that u.s. soldiers have continued to fire at syrian soldiers they are not that. is in theory at claiming that we thought i think that there is an up and thought they call many . casual. hundred sudan casualties and you know i would like the last one logical question we all know. russian

forces help the syrian army in fighting the terrorists that is a fact. stands against terrorism in syria that they funded and their show has been calling on the u.s. to call other than it did in fighting terrorism now my question is if the desha and the u.s. are there to fight terrorism why doesn't the u.s. accept to coordinate its efforts with that ation and they will be much more effective in fighting terrorism we know that the americans are. helping the terrorists. they have nothing i think there is that helping them that protecting them and them if they're used in a few fake is every way of course the united states denies that we'll get comment try to get called in from the u.s. embassy in london but i mean there are attacks still from israel that

have happened in the past you think russia gave you the anti missile systems too late to combat israeli action from the south let alone isis in the northeast. down there champlain and then that rush on the ass updated a lot of defense force own need to defend ourselves i mean is that a. common thing at the action against our country. that russian friends who had allies with that russian lab partners there updated our military capabilities you know that to defend ourselves against an israeli aggression and i can tell you about the last time is. that my country russian. air force capabilities and the syrian that sit on air force capabilities which were trained by the shah and those that did over eighty percent of the missiles that were. that hit our country you're of course

a media adviser what role looking back did media in the two nations play in this war because here in britain we were told your president was killing people and it needed to be overthrown and that isis and al-qaeda linked groups were certainly not being supported by britain or the united states thank you very much for asking this question because also you know i made up tests and i would really like to tell you in total honesty you know nothing on the ads i mean by that of the syrian citizen that the western media played it. very destructive role against the syrian people that's it and people didn't deserve the western media he lied on propaganda and what they call an eye witnesses and there really did not investigate didn't check on his source of information and know they they supported terrorism

the white helmets are terrorists and they and then he said barely one into security council and showed by evidence that white helmet was supported by british government and money because government's money not only by andrew on the border a lot by donors but by british government's money and united says support the terrorists in it than if understeer is supporting terrorists in order to combine come not allowing syrian people children and families to leave addict and leaving them under the mercy of that terrorist and that's why they're shot in syria right to open to curry gourds for the civilians to leave every one come and go due to the areas where they can live safely and that the government so on this the i would our of all the people who went in in western media to just think you know that that the

word they put it is not good that it could cost somebody their life somewhere nothe only in syria really would be anyone that was read some of the white helmets it was on this program he denies any involvement in terrorism britain has just said the house to one hundred white helmet people in britain do you think they pose a threat to british safety i think all terrorism causes a threat to to everybody in there was i really i you know i am british if you created i live in london. and for six years i consider it my second home although i am now prevented to go to put because they consider me a terrorist in all i ask all european countries on our american that if you believe in global if you believe that this is a planet is the order for you should believe that that better of them you are

supporting and sponsoring in syria we come back to you one day in one way or another you know in one way or another that they should care about with syria being empty of terrorism because that serves london it might sound thought reaching but it is the truth and i only ask you it to go undetected that website obama said they need and see all the evidence she is as it is said. betty the suspect even journalist and investigator who spent months under a month and i live poland in many cities and towns following what the wife has misled and so she presented also have evidence in front of the security council nobody loves go on to her or to question but as you said you are on the british sanctions this to use sanctions list individually do you think britain understands the islamist threat because obviously your government is fighting is the biz

a big we had claims here that anti libyan government fights is when gadhafi was head of libya. need to link to the mantras to arena bombings do you think britain understands the threat level from islamist terror no i think they're done i think ny that rika know you had open or their american fast i don't think them their son the middle east that would put respect then their sons them in the east or through the oriental lists you know who wrote a lot of they want about the middle east and i don't think they understand the threat of fundamentalism because because they don't think. we are the same people and we belong to the same was you know this is a thug it is a colonial mentality that they believe they are supporting human and we are you know under them and so they don't think that the threats that are threatening us will reach them because they're different kind of people but that's not true

we're all human beings we belong to the same word to the same of love because if they believe we are the same people they should europe and the us on live on they consider it palestinian life equal to a jewish life but they don't they don't condemn the killing of our people at all you know we had massacres in syria killing thousands of people no european country no american person other condemned massacre perpetrated by terrorist again these two men and children and they get a civilian in syria because here in britain we hear that it's your government that is responsible for those massacres there's a hollywood film marie colvin the patio president is charged with killing this journalist who i should say i and you question earlier we spoke about the pre-buy ground on the i think the valen and their hearts your government knows that it is

not our president to hold a sponsible for this massacres and that they they and the americans and i don't know who financed and and hundred thousand terrorists to come to syria now i think the major dilemma facing them or where they go with these terrorist you know. i think they know deep down in their heart that that we are fighting terrorism and that there we are a secular country but they want a government that obeys their that action that is that that's the issue they were they don't believe. in salford in the independent country they're done they believe it for themselves but not for us. they don't believe in that but the syrian government does deny killing this journalist marie colvin oh i love going to my government deny the fact they're not the fact that alan you know you're

a member there was a once in the wire of something called investigative journalism then that list would not that i've something and things they investigate and they made sure about the truth of what that right thing about all of that then i mean then the moment they were south it on cereal bess's you know you would have been investing to close american embassy clothes all of the station pulled their stuff away all the agencies pulled their stuff all the way and the stuff it to depend on you were voices a whole lot paid by them to tell them whatever they would like to hear that is that this doctor with us ron thank you going to stop you that well from doctors about after the break plus coverage of a fishy u.k. trade deal victory we speak to the farrow islands trade minister on the agreement to raise a maze government did sign in time for breakfast in just thirty two days time elizabeth coming up about to going underground.

this is where they came for four bucks a deal just a deal to everybody use cocaine. cocaine you can smoke it to says words like fifteen thirty. twenty. two this is about a fifteen dollars bag people smoked this one. bigger section this way you can sign these drugs and any city in the united states that you want long as you want to get it about to. make money. that's what at the.

time just by itself the final. customers go find your do something. good now i'll read you some hours. that's undercutting but what's good for food markets it's not good for the global economy. welcome back we're still here with syrian president assad struck me your visor don't have a thing to show we don't really hear about syria in news in britain we just hear about a particular ice is bright do you think britain is right to revoke this woman should mean british citizenship presumably she could be tried in a syrian quote you know i'm glad you are mentioning that the bride because i thought that i love and. confidence and i have to search of home i don't have to name whole what the frowns on the budget and to britain they cited more

than. more than do with thousands of these muslims coming from the suburbs of london and the france and belgium to syria and they have there they book a month is so many stories and they would love being at the issue that the b.b.c. made such a big thing about the prize as if she is the only one another she is the head of one and you know it's really. really this is the prob i got this is propaganda excellence there should be heard about the poll that feels these people how did they go to see that why did they go to syria hold them to work to syria. what happen there should be a journalism none of this way of doing things do you think that people like should we move begum should be arrested and tried in a syrian court yeah i think if there were other hand and i wanted entity they should be at us because they were an aide to the federalist and they should be

tried and if it encodes of course but you have that if they were can you know what people do you have the death penalty that would mean the king of britain's citizenship and then could you be executed in syria if convicted of aiding isis when you know i don't like the onset hypothetical question but i would like to tell you about what britain and your of of the united states did code that penalties to hundreds of thousands of students at his and off innocent third instances and many villages and i've been many thousands and this is what i thought i knew that they care about life in utero or in the faith but they don't care about life in syria that over they have that thousand people where needlessly killed in this absurd war that i don't know why this again the city i don't know why the city i do against the west in order that to accumulate all this in order to launch this

war against my country i want to ask about reconstruction in a second i must ask you though to your knowledge any u.k. special forces in syria i suppose illegally you would say. i only know from the news that there were forces but it is forces supporting the americans not all of them not illegal in my country we did not invite them to come on the we consider any force that came to syria without the invitation of the government is in the that force ok well reuters is claiming that the united states is trying to stop arab countries from reopening embassies and. because who is going to reconstruct syria are you making deals with russia china india presumably north police bricks of britain who is going to be building syria game the ones who will visit syria again are the syrian people you will be said of prize since the.

fall was liberated since home so i've liberated you would be surprised at the amount of work that the syrian people did with their little means with their little money they have but of course a lot of friends would wouldn't be welcome but i shall would be welcomed china would be was come. it out and would be well come all the people who supported us they would in that war would be welcome to help and reconstruct in syria another said yes a united states son to order that. best is not open and syria have a day you a opened its embassy behind an open it's a messy oman has its own but the open. i'm sure. one point or another that i've invested and that investors will be open in syria do you think the media will slowly learn the story of syria like it did of iraq and of libya the b.b.c. producer quoted on twitter saying that the attack in duma was faked of the chemical

attack alleged to be by the syrian government if there is you know it is said. review what happened in there out what happened then leave beyond what happened in syria will know that the order what happened was done for different purposes from the ones which way to announce by the american government or by western government for that reason i mean could you believe it that in the morning when that you and mission. in the mosque was to. investigate became a kind of open that there. didn't government with new chemical weapon i mean i mean you know there's a provocative in arabic that says i'm out there so should speak but there is number of person should think i'm this side you know i mean it's impossible but i live out there to do that so i thought of the really absolutely obvious that that there is

where they've not come through that by parachute they have people who are planning things for them with financing them where i mean them i mean you know a hundred thousand others since it is a you referred it there's a lot of money and there's a lot of access and then they are going came through this border you know love something that you owe or one person or one and you all can go needs a couple of countries doctor but then a ship on thank you well while some nations lucrative contracts for the reconstruction of syria britain is turning the other way tourism is government has confirmed that there would even be a post rex a trade deal signed with neighboring turkey that learn the economic superpower of japan after march the twenty ninth but one signed off post rex a trade deal trumpeted by the u.k. government concerns the pharaoh islands in the north atlantic population just over fifty thousand joining me now is the man who negotiated the deal minister of trade on foreign affairs for the ferro islands paul nicholson joins me now via skype from

the capital torch on trade minister welcome to going underground so britain keen to emphasise the trade deal saying the pharaoh islands is an important trade partner as well as switzerland and chile the big deals we've signed how difficult with the negotiations you know i don't think they were especially difficult. we didn't do that in the in the beginning when the pressure was a reality because on the framework or us it was very important that we we were nothing special to have a very different different agreement that we end with the e.u. but the important thing for us what when. the british it happened in that it was a hard or a soft one that we were we had an agreement because you case there were an important market for us so we had to ensure that our export was allowed to keep on going as we had been doing before we're talking about total trade for twenty seven thousand figures two hundred thirty six million pounds a year

a hundred fourteen thousand largest trade partner so basically your fish and cross station products will be able to be imported to britain zero percent tariffs and britain to send sell to the faroe islands at their present is that right that's with us normally have a if you of if there is some special agreement but nobody that's that's the basic that you have a balance you try to to see that taxes are equal but in this agreement as well with the u.k. or fishing it is of course of the main issue and the other thing. on the table can be exported and there are quotas though on the zero percent tariff ninety five tonnes of trout fifty four of caviar hundred sixty three is tonnes of card coal fishcake us and britain can exceed that five hundred forty five tons of shrimp we had some problem with fish meals this year only thing which which we are not

satisfied with the other thing is we haven't been able to to export to you kate before you have to look at it in the way that they have made a sheer which. are figured out with with a total export to e.u. and then they took a sheer how much each year were in the whole e.u. . and that's something which we don't really have the knowledge of why they made that like that but that's what them to team up thinking she should at. were able to to to or to put on the table we had to change that called as we have to do that after person so the e.u. has an influence over the deal even though the trade agreement is just between you and the post break that britain yeah it is it is like that that it is just

a copy more or less what we are going to do with the u. as i told you the important thing for us was if it was art or soft bricks it that we had enough we didn't have an agreement and the export will stop that was the most. thing we were nervous about we have an open market for them but they you have nothing open market for us but you did make a good deal over any dispute mechanism britain has to pay the cash if there is any dispute over a trade off to break that with the faroe islands yacking you can look at that but of course we are our export into the through to u.k. are about eight hundred million and of course of the other way around and there's a living a lot of millions of people there and the market in the first is fifty thousand people and it's difficult for us to have a balance but best still we are buying about two hundred fifty or two tree in the

movie and then from the from from u.k. and i i do believe if you look at it another angle as i told you about that but the story history relationship between the u.k. and and try to widen has been better before they were a member of the e.u. than out our closest neighbor and i do believe that there's a growth of the possibilities in the future for us when they are independent and can can do we arrange intervention or agreement there is help obviously our biggest trade pod there is. russia what about if britain support sanctions on russia will that affect the trade you know with us and the you mentioned it yourself that is the foreign policy and defense is not exactly what we're doing. is a good reason for that the issue is at the moment we are responsible for trade and

we have never. met in walled sanctions and boycotts with any country we could do what we are we have to do we living here in the middle of the atlantic and we have to sell our products and we try to to their surprise our our our brother the market also based on that we for some years ago were very much poker that by the e.u. and so for us we learned a lesson and at the moment we diversify markets i understand about thirty percent with russia just finally because because the british government is saying that what arguably the most important one of the most important trade deals is with the pharaoh islands given we've only a particular time chile and switzerland those who don't know it wow what do you see this burgeoning relationship between britain and the faroe islands after brics that

would want to watch a british people know about the faroe islands they might not know now we're going to do football with mickey fooled as well. we see the two of michelin stars you had the one they have before and got one more this is something which isn't where special we are neighbors so for us u.k. is coming into the family and they and they will be independent and more more needy and more part of us than they have been when they have been a part of the journey to foreign minister thank you and that's it for the show will be back on wednesday eight hundred nine hundred years since the founding of one of the largest socialist movement. in western europe the british labor party.
