one has seen what nazis are especially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly near liberal pro austerity party like new democracy or series which is implemented or spirity policies and that's when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is creased in this situation i think that the choices that to a so-called governing parties that they were sold and new democracy now its new democracy and citizen they are the part is the. choose to be with the european union inside the eurozone and that inside the nato game we've got about one 4th of the population being not the 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 cars this is

i.m.f. loan maybe not quite as much as cristina kirchner and her late husband in argentina and not only that then refusing to take orders from strasburg no brussels over or apparent term impositions from the e.u. that greece should no longer have collective bargaining sort of explicitly as a 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 so they accepted everything now they're fighting against. so this is a big lie but you cannot trick the greek people show by means as a presenter 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
5:33 pm
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 in social democrats 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
5:34 pm
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 greg 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 who else 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 cirrhosis and of course youth unemployment rose to 58 percent. and what happened in those years argument is getting better the 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 has been a hell here of course mr tsipras came under fire for doing a deal with the communist party of china over the poor player in athens of prayers you are 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
5:36 pm
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 when 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 at all
5:37 pm
because they know it's practically ruling that country. they are no want because we're in a pod of this european union so brussels is ruling my country whether you like it go north this is ringback 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 it will cool can you absorb or these refugees syria when you out of part of the nato forces in the utopian forces that food use that as your g.'s by expanding their interests in the poorer countries like italy thank you thank you after the break is trumps deal of the century the new balfour declaration we speak to our oppressive members of the us have trouble reading about western colonial policies leading to the deaths of millions of people around the world and protest

5:39 pm
there's something wrong with being a wretch and being rich is nothing wrong with it people work hard they make a lot of money and for a lot of people that's very satisfying but when you become a patient's monopolist and you are heading up like in the pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major kleptocrats collusion and colluding monopolist unelegant plus pricing that's not right stats time around in. my 7 minutes doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my system just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after 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 recently became convinced that the
5:40 pm
war on drugs was a mistake there are with numbers of people who are in prison for. sentences for owner minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say by daddy as you're walking out of the business it's just it doesn't get easier. so the temporary orders that i'm under before i go to final trial actually do allow me to address them as james and his male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i can't go to a school i keep them away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl and at my home he's known as james and i use male pronouns what i'm prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he's actually a boy. welcome back despite attempts from the israeli government and u.k. lobbying group the u.k.
5:41 pm
lawyers for israel europe's largest exhibition about. half an expert opens today in london joining me now is one of the event's top speakers arab knesset member doctors have japery in thank you so much use of coming here but the u.k. backed israeli government they've been trying to prevent you from speaking today at the palestine expert has a terror organization front of your chair well my group was funded body appropriate groups. my stance is all a very clear supporting peace you should for the ongoing conflict in the middle east through establishing a policy in the state alongside israel almighty in 6 or 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 love them and explain if use of this and unfortunately that there has been these attempts by israeli ministers that the.
5:42 pm
participation here with you know all these accusations as if that was funded by the year there was to 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 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're an m.p. in the knesset you are proof that israel is the only democracy in the middle east.
5:43 pm
i think that i do the opposite when i speak in the knesset on behalf of my community and bode 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 a platform so what they do i express my year my views. i critique the israeli government policies i critique the anti-democratic low i.q. teac the excision laws i could take the ongoing operation of my people and it's very important too to me when i'm elected by my supporters i have my of course which was also represent their cause in the international arena and their traditional forms in the national media like this interview so for me through being elected by my constituency i have basically the possibility of representing you
5:44 pm
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 bell for a declaration do you think past thinking just me 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 you know 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 the end as well what the so-called beauty of the century is actually
5:45 pm
a disaster of the century the law is the basic law. of palestinians and if you deny the basic quote philistine is if you cannot achieve any peace and do your hair which witting 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 like this 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 firstly the palestinians could accept being the occupation the opposition for too long it's about time for the who did the work up to walk seriously together to you the basic or the philistines for the alongside israel to use or jeffrey thank you well also in london as well as
5:46 pm
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 pioneering 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 if a lot more civil welcome to going underground so it's pride day to day parade 2019 presumably doesn't mean barclay's 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 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 i have you believe and some of promoting that
5:47 pm
tolerance and acceptance everywhere promoting that's 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 q rights with 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
5:48 pm
bt 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 because we were degree to which it's all says gendered gay men that have been seen 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 whitewashed they tend to be 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 older beauty communities and at the same time face . transphobia from their communities their religious communities and ethnic
5:49 pm
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 in part post-college lotteries however are not of the notion that for example if your systems are white it's easier because there are parts of the u.k. vrouw 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 was he 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.
5:50 pm
back black approach to 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 off to live in the u.k. they can be deported exactly they can be deported to countries especially you know
5:51 pm
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. the 3rd gender law and in india the 3rd of the british colonial sections reasons 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 definitely things are improving and i feel that the asian continent gets the t. much better than europe. going to revision with the way it working for us because.
5:52 pm
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 that history 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 what our fight is and just as quickly as the laws are given they can be taken away just as quickly and just fine we are going to ask them if anyone watching this is going through trauma over their identity with the elder g. the brave the t. the q what advice would you give to them if they're facing struggles in family
5:53 pm
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 l.g. 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 you know 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 as i was saying the mainstays live in trafalgar square let's just all celebrate so let's put all our differences aside and just celebrate
