summit of the cover up in labor's history when stuart's akira start up a box of western europe's largest socialist party all of them all coming up in today's going underground but 1st the un has warned world hunger could double by the end of the year to a quarter of a 1000000000 though even before coronavirus more than 4000000 children here in the u.k. have been growing up in poverty that's in one of the richest countries in the world amidst a record high in numbers of those needing to go to food banks in britain i'm joined now via skype from bodrum in turkey by the united nations special rapporteur on the right to food don't feel well thanks so much a lot for coming on you've called covert 19 inequality on steroids our politicians here are telling us that the threat is equal why this mismatch how we gauge treat it's not how we receive our conditions. for instance we talk about the theory simple re social distancing so possible social distancing places trying to i didn't where you're sitting in may. very small group homes 25th are sleeping nearby
7:02 am
mary is it possible it's not possible for the tocome our. guys that they have coming in really bad or emergency workers how possible they are equal like us that we are sitting in our car and made to keep our foot in the air taught so it inequality is it to me or to me in the situation well 10 years of a conservative and coalition government here according to n.h.s. figures show one in 10 of those over 60 in the u.k. is malnourished we have record child poverty here 4200000 living in poverty here angio actual the children claims most children in britain live one paycheck away from malnutrition or at least going without food how does coronavirus affect food security even in a rich country they'd look like britain debts that's exactly why i write about it
7:03 am
and if this is before coronavirus no new terry is not the only country to develop him in this problem you know just they think i think the same situation read the newspaper follow the news and they were talking about the corner no wires impacted . on the uk you can americans or other minority and what was the reason the reason is maybe everyone gets the owner virus but that's. generally human access to treatments or cannot be noxious to taste and little are they getting up to look so if you i want p.h.a.t. prime so you will not be able to pitch your children and that's a very very serious issue and because right now banks are in hands serious kind of action that they are not able to even pick the people you see. when
7:04 am
one of your colleagues a special rubber tour in poverty philip alston came over to britain and said that the tory government of systematically in misery to the significant part of the population in here in britain the government you care for it is here said britain is among the happiest countries in the world so so what is it about special ruppert ers and our governments respond to them as i say this was the response of the british government forget your rapporteur statement britain is happier like this balance air land me space ship record tourists go to the countries for our mission trips we don't go talk to him people because they don't have a problem if we have dealings maybe they're going to be a problem remarked the power that they don't read if you are we about to find big or near it any problem remark not even your housing then is generally gay people who are kind of home going to be able to do it and they don't really care about the
7:05 am
women that i have children men in who want their household taken care of and then they see that there cannot be a need for me comes to bear. on these 'd are the people you know i believe otherwise of course what we are the pitch even on the prime minister of new news to me she's got to write respect he was right so it cannot be any government cannot answer something like that if they really understand what human rights needs well boris johnson of course did say he was shaking hands with people with grown a virus but his government has authorized 640 $5000000000.00 pounds of quantitative easing for the city of london and for the foot sea how would you prioritize financial resources in developed nations during coronavirus obviously $645000000000.00 a lot more than is going to. healthcare services if they aren't living in
7:06 am
a democratic country really have to be able to. keep the government. so we have to go 7 regs government is going it really goes to the big corporations like to thomson aig too big to fail the corporation that they got the money to go down and then others will be able to get it i don't actually been a possibility in 90000 from the high is. tarp rather than being it to stop the blood of because the bottom is suffering right now because there you have it the thing is while britain obviously doesn't have migrant workers or it needs migrant workers to be crude our largest manufacturer is an arms company be a systems what do you think about the fact that obviously britain exports arms say the use in weapons in yemen we need a broom but we are told by british authorities we need those jobs we need to be
7:07 am
manufacturing what i already is opposed coronavirus when britain britain british economy is obviously going to be hit by coronavirus i just say give it your actually test and there are a sales are one of the major budget for the u.k. who are kind of. very important expert stricter but also live industrious suffering and why don't right now what they are going many of the primers are trying because they are gamble productions that are in the air right now. because there is no migrant workers actually many european countries i meet you are trying to write to get them early minden focused from bulgaria and romania and bringing down bank took make. very little shit sounds but it is also very. important there are not did not be able to be is significant
7:08 am
they have to hear that the british journal citizens have it and then the inequality for that act trying to talk about what about sanctions because the un secretary general has said that we should countries presume we nato nation countries should ease sanctions on countries like venezuela cuba iran and so for the e.u. does have sanctions like the united states on venezuela do you think you got any response about sanctions i should say these countries say actually humanitarian goods are exempt from the sanctions so far nor be you and organizations are dealing anything on that humanitarian aid is there it principle should be excluded equally the amount of but in the reality because your heavy not in humanitarian aid we have to make a priority it doesn't park there equally to every country well donald trump says
7:09 am
he's not sanctioning humanitarian goods for iran obviously he is threatening the militarily right now in the persian gulf what about the fact that you know the united states has been accused of piracy of hijacking protection equipment for doctors and nurses any possibility that they the countries are basically being using piracy to stop food from getting to countries in this battle against coronavirus so i don't know about the pirating here it is very puzzling well they try to have these and tie sayings from it however it's from other countries in the united states and the congo and it was call emergency a sect are our immediate say there are mr serry and a kind of a sect have you heard of any response from the i.m.f. or world bank in terms of debt relief because the u.n.
7:10 am
world food program is now claiming that we will see the risk of biblical proportions quarter of a 1000000000 on the brink of starvation and that starvation will be the next pandemic. that out in this report actually it came just this late eddings not surprising for us because this report comes out every year and unfortunately this report there this 206 to pipe 1000000 kind of they are predicting or 135000000 right now is in crisis if you don't know the cause of it they are getting out there to cope with the double or be donna then be critical of but to program except of director. davis said very important a message mill be since for her her tour the major major problem in the cost of starvation classically 19 could be disasters well all we're in britain is
7:11 am
a private company is being talked about the same from the white house massive multinational companies the need for them to be our closest allies in combating coronavirus what sort of reset as regards world hunger and food security do we need after this pandemic is over as i can see your return see it is united nations where i had to obey organizations from add to your progress our special report. the our living in the global if there is a problem in some part of the work then it will be better if they took other sparks of the dark distance and made it conscious maybe we do not have a problem in the long term shocked and everyone can have the problem but they're wrong long term not kurdistan's the biggest staple. exports are countries our us russia china there are ok they have
7:12 am
d.v.d. now. in their their houses but the countries that they are meant to import tax. that will be a very serious problem for now there is why they are getting into nation on. the trade system should reconsider kind of emergency rules in this period to take care of the country and say to them how sorry i consider them how the consider the rules how are tearing down trade barriers that the arctic terry not trade barriers for significant stuff for instance what is this paper clip of the horror. and right this should be available our car every month start the exports for all of this staple foods should not make the limitation in order to achieve the full of for their own people i'm
7:13 am
not saying they can't give a but then must be some kind of they all shipping some or there are any given day to the other it's mine so they're to leave physics to me important to many developing copters and many in this to more countries are suffering promt for in that it has to be stopped it in this period so or even the longer or reduction of the. intestate there are none so priming show meanings to global institutions can do it not so corrupt state governments are responsible to make it look policy is for their own people it's not only international community but also nation of governments should be responsible to take care of their most vulnerable the 1st us was rather that they care. thank you
7:14 am
very much jim off of the bright newly elected u.k. labor m.p. bill ribeiro at the on why she wants the secret report on anti-semitism that's threatening porch action against anyone publishing house in the open a conspiracy revealed in the report may be the reason why boris johnson is in charge of britain during a global pandemic. going underground. the derivatives became so huge in size over a quadrillion day to war the size of the actual stuff to the point where the stuff is meaningless and only did derivatives matter and so the best derivatives now are increasing so those derivatives on top of derivatives and this is how you get to a place of negative prices on oil because when you trade oil derivatives are not trading oil you're trading purely on the direction of a price based on
7:15 am
a derivative that's based on another derivative or there is no underlying what. the world is driven by. we dare to ask. welcome back why is it that boris johnson is theoretically running britain's coronavirus response obviously he won december's general election by a landslide but could it be that sabotage within the opposition labor party helped elect recent tory government because
7:16 am
a secret report that labor leaders again. starmer doesn't one published appears to show his allies conspired to elect the tories for more i'm joined by an m.p. an act of the december general election who signed a letter demanding starmer publishes the allegations including secret whatsapp messages labor m.p. bill ribeiro how he joins me now via skype from a constituency in stratham south london thanks so much mel for coming on you signed the letter with the people who've been on this show diane abbott richard berg and clive lewis in love john mcdonnell kate also more lloyd russell moyle claudia webb and others they've been on this show your with them what is this letter and why are you demanding a report be published by suggest common. me if it was very shocking to read all of those instance in the report that the version of it that was late it's clear that there's more of it and it's obviously not in the report is the report isn't anti semitism. and actually i think the report was in. contact surrounding
7:17 am
the labor party h.q. behavior page here and i think it was a bit focused in that report on handling of anti-semitism complaints as well and and especially on a not of the things that were going on particular was happening during the 2017 general election now everybody knows that we if we literally had chief 1500 more votes the labor party would be in a very different position in fact at the time 2017 generation is actually working as an implicit vies i thought diane abbott and i remember the week after the general election before the tories did a deal with the p.c. even then it was still very uncertain as to what had happened late that is that pounded streets doesn't work so hard to make sure that we achieved a labor government they feel grown out of that and if we are to move forward as a party if we are to move forward as
7:18 am
a party that can win and we need to address these practices and make sure that no form of fascism ever comes between us and what we stand for as a party national we stand for in terms of supporting our constituents and making sure that we get a labor government that would deliver for the people if that's what the report says and obviously it's a seeker of all why i would suggest amr currently being praised greatly by the murdoch press and the right wing media in this country why would he threaten court action say against this program if i was to mention things in the secret report. i mean one thing that i would say is that at the moment. there are some individuals names that were mentioned in europe or now in in terms investigating and probably an intensive process it's not right that it should be released with individuals names we have internal labor party processes i think we should be going through them and you know stuff members are members of changing is we are
7:19 am
a party of trade unions and we should be making sure that we're taking action within our procedures within emily in the room i don't i was watch trains to hear that you you've been in trouble for mentioning the report it's i mean there possibly there are already in the public domain and people are having why discussions about it well i'm happy i was here we did buy that you are not to post the report which is in league anywhere but i suppose it has relevance because the main opposition shadow health spokesman during the coronavirus pandemic is married reportedly said recently separated to a woman who care starmer once or certainly wanted to become general secretary of your party emily old know. who is this person. could she be general secretary after this report in fairness to stammer of course he is conducting an internal inquiry. i mean what i would say to that is that we have
7:20 am
a general secretary and i name is jenny who will be in as far as i'm aware there are no moves for us to have another general secretary even for internal party presses anybody else's name comes up it's probably not advisable last people under investigation to be acquited into positions that more importantly shouldn't even be in discussion because our general secretary still very much active in working why do you think mainstream media in this country is not interested in effectively sabotage amidst western europe's largest socialist movement. i mean i would significant number of members of the party found that particularly bizarre that the mainstream media isn't really jumping on this issue obviously there are some benefits to that in that the labor party are not playing up yet another spot in public that was the i believe it's about hostility towards the previous leader and i think things might have been different if if the medium words are hostile
7:21 am
towards jeremy corbyn and in that very very pointed attack and they laid on him made a massive difference to attitudes and that people had a new time people talking about them not liking jeremy or not really knowing why and i think the media definitely has to take more responsibility and more they put out there are very clear that you see different media outlets may have different opinions but nothing should divert them from reporting the news factually as in the know causing sensationalist and you know kind of ideas about individuals for political gain that that's what went through your head given they used to work for the shadow home secretary diane abbott when you read the passages about how the media were in fact tipped off as your previous boss diane abbott the shadow home secretary was crying after what looks like bullying in the report i mean for me i was particularly 2nd man and i know i'm against somebody that is well at their i
7:22 am
see the culture of the party i'm not shocked that people make certain comments about her but there are there are levels and there are levels and to see in black and white was particular statement that not just on and working for time and i've seen firsthand the level of the beast that she has to face on a daily basis and to think that members of our own party were involved in it is horrible but not even just on diane's location at some point in time can be a matter of security as much as anything else and that it was so willing to. close and you know subpoena could do step up for anything else and is basically were it was disclosed i understand why the ends channel 4 news we invite the editor right here in news on also lord mcnicol is implicated we invite him on the show to his detailed in this report of course surely he'll be able to say jeremy corbyn made him a lord after the defeat of the labor party that doesn't look like the idea of jeremy
7:23 am
corbin was against lord mcnichol who seems to be implicated 1st trying to sabotage labour's chances of general elections it's about how we behave as a party i can't think of a single form a general and secretary of the labor party has to do it's something that is done i think on both sides of the house it's clear when the report was was published and things like this may no have less is there really been a man people been able to prove that i have to keep reminding our viewers that the relevance of these internal labor matters is how britain is today responding to coronavirus britain has been affected the worst one of the worst countries in the world its response so how could it be possible given that people knew there were and he called mean people as presumably they're empty stomach people in today's labor he would be cheering on the defeat of the labor party at
7:24 am
a general election we have what's that messages within this secret report that starmer is threatening people with court action for revealing that show the disappointment that that they have felt within the labor party that they came within 2000 votes of replacing the tories some of these things are not necessarily surprising and whether it's very very different have proved over and now i'm not sure when it's i don't know the details of their who i don't know when it was or did i don't know when people were able to get home. that particular bit old evidence that i do you know i think jerry could be very clear about an image of who it is a party moving forward together and i don't think he's the type of person that would want to. cause bridges in that light that is very different to find that people acted on these things and that there is evidence there actually on these things the united nations is alleged that the agency ran by starmer the crown prosecution
7:25 am
service played a part in the torture and arbitrary detention of julian a songe who publish the work of whistleblowers understanding what you do about the need for redactions to protect the identities of some people in the report are you still surprised that the 1st reaction from dahmer was anyone who reveals elements to this report will be prosecuted or killed that he'll seek the prosecution of those people. i think it's very important and obviously they. kissed on angela angela verena and as leader deputy leader of court for an investigation into the matters they've done that the 1st that i do believe that that response was to illegitimate things that could arise and could cause the late labor party said legal issues so i think i think it was more for the protection of the party and i'm in some ways rightfully so it will definitely cause issues if you
7:26 am
know legal action is taken against them or its members for actions and on the most disturbing allegations of anti semitism that were widespread a distributed across the media in the run up to december's election in which you were elected what did you make of what looks like attempts to cover up or certainly stop the process of investigations of anti semitism that were occurring among his allies in the labor party h q. i think fastly any form of anti-semitism displayed with parties absolutely should be rooted out is very worrying that appears that way and justice me looked into our processes and procedures when it was raised that complaints were been dealt with properly and jennifer being sick and leadership of that situation and handled and started handle complaints in a swift and swift manner i think it's important that we look at that as well if we
7:27 am
are going to change the culture of the party a rule in the general going to make sure that with meeting and people's expectations when they raise complaints we're going to have to go back when we find that they haven't happened. and that many instances we. will have to get you on another time to talk about the. release of sickness dahmer and other people are getting money from allegedly an israeli lobbyist but i want to talk about coronavirus because you represent a constituency in one of the world epicenters of corona virus do you really think that more lives could have been saved of a labor government had been elected without the sabotage in this report in 2017 is the n.h.s. and the state of the n.h.s. crucial to understand why britain has done so badly in its response to coronavirus . people keep referring to the coronavirus and i fix against it as
7:28 am
a fight and if you talk about current us patent but rotavirus then you have to realize that we started with one hand behind our back and that is because it take is it was sterile and we started a place where we had you know it of 40000 vacancies for nesses and other health care threshold in the n.h.s. and i think it was at up not the 10s of thousands of vacancies for special can't workers and as a situation where we had an immigration system a hostile environment which deliberately to 10 people from coming over there and working in certain positions so you have to look at it in that context when you look at that point as you see that a labor party a labor government would have made a big difference to that and you look at some of the policies that the government putting forward today all of these policies for greater public spending all of these things that were very much part and parcel of policy or has joined the 2017
7:29 am
general election one of the things you're ridiculed for was free broadband in the $21000.00 general election and i sent you believe that we're going to come out of this with a generation of people that believe that group around is a right and especially in a situation like this. thank you that's over the shelf we'll be back on monday to further investigate the countries or the my fellow called free market economics politics i don't work for combat we're out of our field and washouts going to get to join the other guy to you to put it out but in reality. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on often scary dramatic development the only way i'm going to resist i. we'll see how that strategy will be successful very critical
7:30 am
time to sit down and talk. style demands is to put on the chain on the stand could you know a little spark that sent me a and but you went quick association with nothing to do and that i desired to know . but i told of the. local just a little planning to go near them she still. feels to me up on the show we're still up. to some will push it. puts a little you put it's not just pump it's almost unusable not on one level so that the student will stop to teach students. i did.
