and on wednesday where does the labor party stand on bricks it shadow press secretary doesn't support rex it the shadow foreign secretary doesn't support the shadow chancellor doesn't support breck's it the labor party leader doesn't support breaks it labor wants to block bret's it and that would be a betrayal of the many by the few yes as britain has for brics it's called in as assembled an entire remained team around him this in a week when those who seek an anti neo liberal e.u. were arguably dealt a blow is the e.u. chose people like the head of the i.m.f. to run the european banking system yes this person the head of the international monetary fund has been found guilty by a french court of negligence when she was the country's finance minister christine legarde had denied accusations which said she allowed the misuse of public funds over a 400000000 euros state payout to a business tycoon the tapped new head of the e.c.b. is also notorious for backing austerity across europe in britain austerity is linked to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths back in westminster he has

long time crusader against austerity jeremy corbyn showing his impatience this government mr speaker is now an irrelevance the 2 candidates is it see. the 2 candidates to succeed i've only got fantasy plans since she and her successes have no answers doesn't the prime minister except the best thing to do would be to go back to the people and let them decide which way we can perhaps one can forgive corbin his impatience on like crazy man labour's blairites he opposed u.k. involvement in the nato destruction of africa's richest capita country libya that's libya where air strikes continued this week and unlike tories he backed the humanitarian treatment of child refugees seeking asylum because of the r.a.f. but on wednesday he had to listen to this we can as a country and be proud of everything that we have done in help terms of how can we have to g.'s and other vulnerable children who are. affected by conflict by

violence and by instability because her support for bombing libya and syria was aimed at creating stability presumably like the 2008 bank bailouts and massive austerity or economic warfare on the poor created stability for countries like britain and for that matter greece which faces elections tomorrow joining me now is a communist member of the greek parliament they have a canal a they have thanks so much for coming on the show before we get to any pessimism as regards the communist party's view of tomorrow's elections why do you think unlike the country's voters may reject the fascism some may call it of golden dawn to morrow i think that we've been fighting with the whole of greek people but specially the communist party to get these matus out of our parliament and i think that the diminishing of the power is something exclusively big greek now because throughout europe the neo nazis are climbing up only in greece they are going down

and that's a very very happy event and i hope we are going to do see again in this national elections as you obviously know have been slapped in public throughout the world everybody everyone has seen what nazis are specially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly new liberal pro austerity party like new democracy or series which is implemented all spirity policies and that's when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is greece in this situation i think that the choices that to a so-called governing parties and that there were so good and new democracy now it's new democracy and cities are they are the parties the. choose to be with the european union inside the eurozone and the. inside the nato

games we've got about one 4th of the population being not only poor but with no hope for the future as we've got about 600000 young greeks that leave the country to try to find a job. in other crimes this is a mainly european ones and we've got our allies like turkey that they have agreements for the refugees for example with europe to be aggressive enough to demand a half of the aegean sea to start or drilling in sinai the or the controlled by cyprus we've still got a minute to military forces turkish military forces in cyprus so do you think that by mortgaging every inch of greek soil from parthenon to i don't know

what to the european low nurse and their loan sharks for 99 years this is the signature that cities are put under this agreement and i think that is why people don't want any of them great series or would say look we may be defaulting on the i.m.f. loan maybe not quite as much as cristina kirchner and their late husband in argentina are and not only that they're not refusing to take orders from strasburg or brussels over or apparent term impositions from the e.u. that greece should no longer have collective bargaining sort of explicitly have to trade union legislation in order for you to receive funds yes but they didn't become a government because there was saying these things now they had apologizing they came into power promising part of that is outside all these obligations and they succumbed. they accepted everything now

they're fighting against so this is a big lie but you cannot trick the greek people show by mensa suppressor denies telling any lies just very quickly on the procedural elements of keno which may i understand hold the balance of power in any coalition is that just another party which is equally near liberal or does it have anything progressive about it in your eyes they are trying they are trying to. practically they're struggling with sid is that who is going to be their leader in the so-called are going down democrat european union of parties they started as so-called lefts and now they're leaning towards being social democrats and try to get something from the old that now is called can not well also grimly ironic arguably is that next week whoever wins the election may have to speak to

a christine legarde not in a position as the boss of the i.m.f. but as the boss of the european central bank what do you make of a change of positions i think that no she has a lot of things to try with like the bags it and lots of people they're very happy that they don't have a great example who gives a damn about the european union as it and that to be with so much lack of democracy and that turning out to be a union of money holds and not a union of the people of europe for those watching you may think that the idea of a great city is impossible just take us through some history because i understand that unlike most of the rest of the world greek mortality rates jumped nearly 20 percent after the austerity after the bank bailouts deaths from cancer neonatal sepsis a hiv. says and of course the youth unemployment rate rose to 58 percent what

happened in those years arguably it is getting better head of this election however we've got a very rich country very rich country we've got very educated and very skilled working class people but still we don't have a penny and the majority of the population is struggling to feel and experience the 1st 20 years of the 21st century there's been a hell here of course mr tsipras came under fire for doing a deal with the communist party of china over the port there in athens of prayers you're talking about turkey and turkey is in trouble with nato actually over receiving russian defense systems is it about time greece starts to realign more than with the brics countries rather than fighting into nice sign mediterranean

trade wars or geopolitical war look it's not permitted that any in case it's an imperialistic case it's a power game over the mediterranean sea if you want my person a journalist and political appearing in it's like the whole area around the middle east in the middle that any standing back about a 100 years look what happened in libya where democracy was exported it's cutting 3 but the flow of oil goes to the same pockets and to the same companies look what happened in iraq they claim there was a war there are tied any there what happened there in fairness to ceres and it's been a horrific week in the mediterranean with so many drowning seeking asylum as you say after the major war on libya series i did not support bombing of syria. do

you think that if new democracy win with the coalitions they would canel greece in future will be more in line with nato adventurism as it's been called as regards wars in the middle east i don't put any hope in these 2 parties not any hope because they know it's practically ruling that country there are no want because we're not part of this european union so brussels is ruling my country whether you like it go north this is the truth they bomb but they produce refugees and then they give us some money to face the humanitarian problem here there is no money at all can you absorb or these refugees year when you are part of the nato forces in the utopian forces that use it as your g.'s by expanding their interests in other poorer countries the i get i thank you thank you

after the break is trump's deal of the century the new balfour declaration we speak to our knesset members of the us have trouble reading about western colonial policies leading to the deaths of millions of people around the world and protest or celebration as britain's biggest pride parade kicks off in the capital today we ask britain's 1st ouch muslim drag queen a c. for love or what those fighting for l.g.b. t.q. plus writes today can learn from historic movements like stonewall and lesbians and gay support a minus 0 visible coming up in part 2 of going underground. with my i don't want to talk to a communist news agency forgive me you have to find someone to.

well with trying to stay with us to get me. going to be just like the jews. where.

we have to be. i think a. fight. it's an indication of how. we are definitely winning it because we have the people people in power we are. doing drugs my nephew drugs. drugs like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse.

the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill i increasingly became convinced that the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. a long sentence in this but for minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up in issue in wave and say by day as you're walking out of the business it's just it doesn't get easier. welcome back despite attempts from the israeli government and u.k. lobbying group the u.k. lawyers for israel europe's largest exhibition about this time house an expert opens today in london joining me now is one of the event's top speakers arab

knesset member but he's have japery and thank you so much use of for coming here but the u.k. backed israeli government they've been trying to prevent you from speaking today at the palestine expo has a terror organization front of your trip here well my group was funded body appropriate groups. myself as all of the village supporting. for the ongoing conflict in the middle east so establishing good policies in the state alongside israel might be a 6 to 7 borders this is the blood for that has been adopted by the international community supported by international law and i think that the minimum that they could do to support such a solution is to come here to load the exhibit if you was of this unfortunately that the there has been these attempts by israeli ministers that the. participation here with you know all these accusations as if. that it was founded

by year in terrorist a group the fact is that the israeli current government is trying to believe in any serious discussion about to be a full solution is the trying to prevent anybody anybody in or like me who could be influential on the critiquing the israeli government or both it's continued in a very dangerous policy of expanding settlements built beach with the occupation and the basically opposition the palestinian people and basically it's going to end any real chance for a peaceful solution in our area that these really government obviously claim they are the only democracy in the middle east despite all the violations as you say of the u.n. resolutions and you are an m.p. in the knesset you are proof that israel is the only democracy in the middle east. i think that i do the opposite with speak in the knesset on behalf of my community

and the behalf for fair and democratic jewish forces are you voice the you know the . the political a platform that goes against the israeli government you know oakeshott platform so what they do i express my year my views. i critique the israeli government policies i critique the anti-democratic law i could take the annexation laws i could take the ongoing operation of my people and it's very important to tell me what i'm elected by my supporters are you my of course which was see i also represent their cause in the international arena and the international forums in the international media like this interview so for me through being elected by my constituency i have basically the possibility of representing you know the cause of my community of my people so it's exactly the opposite i think that they will

always be happy not to have me in the knesset and that they'll have my political activity whether it is well in the occupied palestinian territories or internationally what about this that is the deal of the century i understand you've been comparing it to the hated british declaration do you think palestine can just be paid off and the israelis can illegally fully take the golan heights in syria and take palestinians land and you get you know the current coalition between you know trauma administration and that is the is a dangerous corporation and the it's a clearly the american administration supportive of basically the lawyer that they make policy in there and as well what the so-called beauty of the century is actually a disaster of the century the law is the basic law. palestinians and if you deny the basic quote philistine is if you cannot achieve any peace and do your hair

which waiting basically the conflict and in our area so so so the there cannot be any other real deal without recognizing the historical rights of the placenta as they see it or recognized by international community article as by international law other thing not any oh if he believes that by killing the support of the americas he could continue and go against international willingness and they get the basic right of palestinians here will very small realize it's a follow city and this cannot work no people. the further the palestinians could accept being the occupation the bushman for too long it's about time for the good to wake up to walk seriously together to you the basically the philistines for the along side as world views of jerry thank you well also in london as well as past an expo over a 1000000 people are expected to take to the streets today to celebrate pride

a week after the 50th anniversary of new york's stonewall uprising and the 35th anniversary of the formation of there's been gays support the miners but can the lessons from those planning and campaigns be applied to you plus movement today joining me now to discuss it as well as what pride means to her is activist and britain's 1st out muslim drag queen as evil or as evil welcome to going underground so it's pride day to day parade 2019 presumably doesn't mean barclays bank you know i was on sponsorship to you when you go out there on trafalgar square as plinth tell me about what it means to you what it means to me is the basically representing every color in the rainbow myself obviously being britain's 1st out muslim track queen being from a minority ethnic community and also from a religious background for me it's basically about saying look pride is for everybody wherever you are from what have you believe and sort of promoting that tolerance and acceptance everywhere promoting that's a precisely the words in the legislation clause $28.00 which hung over this country

between $988.20 or 3 compared often compared to the legislation in russia currently against the promotion of ale g.b.t. q rights was your experience under law i have to say supported by our outgoing prime minister to resume at the time well i was of his children at the time a section 28 i was heavily bullied at secondary school for being a feminists it was for bullying that i learned the word gay and i thought that i was gay from. many many years. until i realize actually i was a trans woman and i transitioned many years later it really affected sort of my early relationship affected the way i thought about the world and it affected my personal identity will actually you were transitioning what room is the teleology b t q because it's 50 years from stonewall people may not even realize drag queens

revolved in that struggle for human rights do you think there's really a degree to which it's all says gendered gay men that have been seem to be the heroes rather than the people to dress like this of course i mean at the end of the day people tend to forget that it was a trans woman of color martha p. johnson that actually threw the 1st stone and she started the stonewall riots i think look things tend to be white washed they tend to be pink washed a lot as well within the o.g.t.t. community and you know the reality is that it's not all fairies it's all not rainbow colors everywhere there are parts of the community especially in london that face a lot of race face a lot of islamophobia within the o.g.t.t. communities and at the same time face homophobia in transphobia from their communities their religious communities and ethnic minorities that they come from is there a plus identity that is across all of this because you were religious identities

obviously people of color a that it is is easier to come out today if you have more money than if you're poor of course i do believe you know in part postcard lotteries however are not of the notion that for example if your system did why it's easier because there are parts of the u.k. row u.k. where you know hate crime is going up why do you think that is going to skew some bills that is the fear that austerity is catalyzed ways were growing up i think hate crime is going up because. of austerity because of the braggs it paralysis that we're in i feel that you know in posts briggs's britain people have given themselves the permission to criticize to bully to vocalize their hate to anything that they deem the other u.k. but black approaches do more what do you make of the. the home office so they do

want the people who did with the horse to the wind. promoting a beauty rhodes kudos to you cable out pride for doing that i mean. you know as a person of british pakistani faith i am aware of you know pakistani asylum seekers for example that come to my clubs that come to my shows that have to go through hurrying experiences of claiming asylum in the u.k. i mean having to prove that their eligibility you know the home office believe that if you're outgoing partying pink t. shirt gay boy then you must be gay but if you're a gay boy that has a beard that you know doesn't speak english very well that identifies as a muslim then you can't you not gain enough to live in the u.k. they can be deported exactly they can be deported to countries especially you know my home country my heritage country of pakistan where you know it's illegal to be lesbian gay and bisexual however it is legal to be transgender.

now this firm. for german law and india the 3rd of the british colonial rule sections reasons of yes so a lot of the laws in south asia that you know criminalize homosexuality are from the colonial era and pakistan last year. put forward protection right of bills for their transgender community and indeed decriminalized homosexuality last year after recruitment rising in 5 years before. more so it's slow progress i'm not saying that homophobia in transphobia doesn't exist in south asia it definitely does however and definitely things are improving and i feel that the asian continent gets the t. much better than europe. are going to really push with the way it working to us because. the is the 35th anniversary of lesbians and gays support the miners why do

you think people don't know more about the fact that. we also have been with the spearheading anticapitalist movements which after all stonewall was part of all the history gone well again where very good at forgetting our history which is why you know parts of law and parts of history that have have affected me for example section 20 affected me i badger on about it because the moment we forget our history we forget where we come from we forget where our fight is and just as quickly as the laws are given they can be taken away just as quickly and just finally i got to ask them if anyone watching this is going through trauma over their identity with the elder g. the the the t. the q what advice would you give to them if they're facing struggles in family a little in their communities what i would say to somebody who's going through struggles right now is don't be afraid to reach out you might feel like you're the

only one there were times when i felt like i was the only one sometimes i even still feel like i'm the only one now but there's a whole community out there waiting to support you how did you do it i reached out to my university tutor who basically put me in touch with the beauty charities in london and i met other l.g.b. to muslims for the 1st time and i realized i wasn't the only gay muslim in the country and your family now my family now are super supportive after many years of not understanding my journey of not supporting me. they are really out there being visible being really supportive i mean i do want to say that look today is pride in london day i am i was saying the mainstays live in trafalgar square let's just all celebrates let's put all our differences aside and just celebrate and how far we've come see for laura thank you that's of the show will be back on monday to tackle greenwashing also being a prince charles advisor jonathan porritt whether people should boycott london's
