around is up next on all things national but in the u.k. and ireland well back when asked. now imagine returns are we going on the ground now as before greeks head to the polls to elect a new prime minister just days after christine legarde one of the figure heads of the european austerity that pushed greece to the brink of collapse is tapped to head up the european central bank coming up to show election time in the cradle of european democracy where every 3rd person is now at risk of poverty we go to athens to investigate the front lines of european union new liberalism. and on the day of europe's largest exhibition on palestine we ask our member and keynote speaker. the israeli government and u.k. . lobbying groups are trying to shut the event down last with over

a 1000000 people expected to take to the streets of london today to celebrate pride we speak to britain's 1st out muslim drag queen messy for love or about growing up as gay on the fast track and fighting for equality under theresa may all of the more coming up in today's going on the ground the 1st how out of touch is u.k. labor leader jeremy corbin while his calls for a civil service inquiry demonstrate he may now understand there may be a deep state attempt to destroy him what about the policies of those who he has chosen for his shadow cabinet it's something the outgoing prime minister tourism a pinpointed on wednesday where does the labor party stand on bracks it the shadow press secretary doesn't support the shadow foreign secretary doesn't support the shadow chancellor doesn't support it the labor party leader doesn't support. labor wants to bret's it and that would be a big try on of the many by the few yes as britain has for bracks it all been

assembled and the 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 lagarde 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 problem is. except the best thing to do would be to go

back to the people and let them decide which way we go perhaps one can forgive corbin his impatience i'd like to raise a 1000000 labors blairites he opposed u.k. involvement in the nato destruction of africa's richest per 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 refute g.'s and other vulnerable children who are affected by conflict by violence and by instability because her support for bombing libya in 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 a may reject the fascism some may call it of golden dawn tomorrow i think the i think that we've been fighting with the whole of the people but specially the communist party to get these nazis 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 to 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 near liberal pro austerity party like new democracy or series which is implemented all separately 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 there were so again new democracy now it's new democracy and citizen they are the part is that. 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 kinds this is a mainly utopian 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 drilling aimed side the at the controlled by cyprus we've still got mitt took a military forces turkish military forces in cyprus so do you think that by mortgaging every inch of greek soil from palestinian 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 there. late husband in argentina

and not only that then 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 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 are 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 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 the leader in the so called are going down the 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 kin not well supremely ironic arguably is that next week whoever wins the election may have to speak to 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 braggs 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 h.i.v.'s cirrhosis and of course youth unemployment rate rose to 58 percent . cent what happened in those years argument is getting better ahead 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 poor player 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 tired any there what happened there in fairness to series 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 because they know it's practically ruling that country. there are no want because

we're in a pod of this european union so bronson's 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 phase the humanitarian problem here there is no money at all can you absorb or these refugees syria 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 could only thank you thank you after the break is trump's deal of the century the new balfour declaration we speak to our knesset member w. september reading about western colonial policies leading to the deaths of millions of people around the world and protest all celebration as britain's biggest pride parade kicks off in the capital today we ask britain's 1st ouch muslim drag queen

to see 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 the minus 0 visible coming up in part 2 of going underground.

welcome back despite attempts from the israeli government and u.k. lobbying group the u.k. in the way is very israel europe's largest exhibition about this time past 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 trip here well my group was funded by the appropriate groups. my stance is all

a very clear supporting peace. for the ongoing conflict in the middle east so establishing a policy in a 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 learn and experience molly if use of this unfortunately that there has been these attempts by israeli ministers that there to allow more year participation here with you know all these accusations as if that it 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 applying to prevent anybody anybody in or like me who could be influential on the critiquing to the israeli government or both it's continued in

a very dangerous policy of expanding settlements build bridges 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 un 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 when i speak in the knesset on behalf of my community and 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 ok should a platform so what they do i express my year my views. i critique

israeli government policies i critique the anti-democratic law i could take the excision laws i could take the ongoing opposition 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 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 course it was see 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 there 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 your girl 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 that the american administration supportive of basically their lawyers that they make policy in israel what the so-called beauty of the century is actually a disaster of the century the law is the basic right of palestinians and if you deny the basic quote philistine is if you cannot achieve any peace and do your fear 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 and as they say if they could live by international community other one is by international law other thing that and you know if he believes that by getting the

support of the americas he could continue and go against international when he does 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 1st thing 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 basic or 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 l g b d q 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 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 of 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 bt 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 $28.00 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 rule 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 that 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 things tend to be white washed they tend to be pink washed a lot as well within the older beauty 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 homophobia and 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 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. vro 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. back blackborough it is them or would you make of the we reflect the home office so they will 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 pakistani asylum seekers for example that come to my clubs that come to my shows that i 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. for german law and india through the british colonial 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 clothes because. the is the 35th anniversary of lesbians and gays support the miners why do you think people do 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 fine we are going to ask them if anyone watching this is going through trauma over their identity with the elder g. the v. 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 as i was saying the mainstays live in trafalgar square and that's just all celebrates let's put a lot of differences aside and just celebrate and how far we've come see for the word thank you that's of the show would be to talk to greenwashing also being a fool with prince charles advise a joint import where the people should boy courts love this british museum national gallery the national portrait gallery to link you to does russia should we do see them. is something wrong with being rich 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 a pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major clock to kravtsova collusion colluding monopolist and all accomplice pricing that's not wretch that's tied around in. odd law. the be. grieved .

when we bankrupt. person somewhere bother to back up what all that is there is a fantasy to save them a sense that torture is completely divorced from human so what. the justice department said today the inmate population of federal and state prisons in this country is at an all time high. the public sees a need for more prisons because crime is the number one concern of the people in the state for too many inmates and not enough space. and other crimes and other criminals in a country already set up with the interests of the good of others. in the population explosion.
