10:30 am
as a historical document all by itself it was only published a few days ago the parallels of the the 1930 s. and what we have right now in the international order is. all in a part that's right meant and this is one of the it is the primary reason other than nazi aggression started the 2nd world war and europe and i think the parallels are really quite me have the united states using sanctions as a political weapon we we have constant pressure being put against iran against and is whale but has no basis in international law and this and this is a very appropriate one and i'd like to point out to you that the united states is walking away from the entire. spectrum of arms control agreements i think this is very dangerous as well go ahead jump and. yes you're absolutely right peter. and the sanctions regime that the united states has in particular are imposed against russia which is
10:31 am
a very very serious business and that both the democrats and republicans want to tighten every you know you know as a as moving forward so whoever wins this election will want to impose some kind of sanctions some kind of penalties pressure the obsession obsessive hatred of russia and now that prevails in london and in washington is a very serious business and i think that. this is one of the issues that in a certain point thing out that this this really it does get into a very dangerous situation and so what he's saying is that. this dangerous situation is part and parcel that as alexander pointed out with this revisionist view of world war 2. according to which the nazis and the soviets jointly launched it and this was a european parliament resolution this isn't something he story the story in quite just the pontificating way this is
10:32 am
a recent resolution of the european parliament joint aggression by the soviet in and you point out you know important facts to keep in mind and said no that wasn't right was in september like in 39 no one no one stopped england and france from invading joe met me my job was preoccupied with the ball and it was a non-aggression pact no one stopped you didn't do anything so if you started blaming the soviet union for that so it is pointing this out and saying this is bottom ponselle this. or this most of the world's this is over you know and then he moves on into the 2nd part of the article which is. let us restore. the post world war 2 quarters. he's used as the basis of it the permanent 5 members of the security council so you know those were those are the days when that was the ability in the world and they went overseas this is where we need to be moving now you know alex and also i mean if we can just
10:33 am
look at present day politics we see the fragmentation in the weakening and the lack of mission of nato and i'm not i think this is one of the reasons why they're changing this narrative because nato needs to have an enemy to justify its own existence and you know and we have poll after poll deeply in germany where the german public wants americans to leave 75 years after the fact they want them to start rebuilding but of course this is a switching major we have the neo cons in the entire political bipartisan consensus in washington well let's move them to poland which would be in violation of riemann's ending the cold war but again they just want international law and that is really the basis of the article that hutto accompt about is the foundations of international law it fell apart it fell apart before the 2nd world war and that is a wave of the footsteps of france and britain ok not the soviet union absolutely
10:34 am
can i just point out that this idea of the city union and nazi germany being allergists to start the 2nd will again is a fringe theory in academic circles it is a fringe there are some people in the police it or wells are adults it amongst academics it remains a fringe there it. is expressing what is still very much overwhelmingly the academic consensus but the parallels here is julie also and then very interesting is that after the 1st woman in the lead up to the eventual start of the 2nd world you see a extremely unfair system. stoutish invests is very interesting and he's attacking the 1st started as far as i know from a russian point you've the entire this is when johnny being essentially constantly
10:35 am
elite by the allies leading to very very common consequences now he's not saying i think you know that russia has been put in exactly the same way but what he's pointing to is the fragility of a system in which they're all when it is self appointed when it see it as then mission to constantly beat up all the lose and such a system becomes deep young balanced and it becomes increasingly fragile and that way get things like nate continuing to this you a calling to all this you can say of an ending expansion of focusing all russia as aggressive states she's not by the way and. make tensions in europe and in the worlds which really have substantially
10:36 am
cool's because as correctly points out all the great powers would you come to get us through security council united nations system it would be perfectly possible to result problems. you know toward one of the things i took away from the article again and i suggest our viewers have a read through because it's absolutely fascinating is that be the issue of sovereignty and protecting one's own defined national interests ok in the end and what i find really interesting is that because during the cold war it was it was an ideological conflict with the cold war is over and so you want to bludgeon russia. like it was the soviet union the soviet union has no ruling idea i'm sorry russia today has no ruling ideology ok so the parallels don't work anymore and so what putin is saying is that like the soviet union russia of today will defend its national interest as it defines it it's about sovereignty short. yes and this is
10:37 am
a very important point that the russians and putin and love are often made over and over again which is the united nations charter in shrines the principle of national serenity and that there is an equality between all nations no matter how small that they are sovereign and that there is no right on any on anyone's part to bully other smaller nations and to tell them what how they should run their own best and so you know yes he indeed he's pointing this out as this kind of western regime change operations that prevailed over the last few decades is a violations of united nations charter and again it goes back to his point that. you know in 1045 there were sensible leaders who created a you know you know for want of a better word new world order that respected national serenity wrote the united
10:38 am
nations charter and created a balance of power system which was the united nations security council that took into account the interests of the great powers which and their head hence the failure of the league of nations which didn't answer yes that's what he's insisting yeah we need to go back to that and at that time and he wants this out so that the leaders of the western powers always acknowledged a the sacrifices that the soviet union made well that they did the heavy lifting and that there was no symmetry between what the nazis did and what the u.s.'s out it was and you had said it's just you never accuse the u.s.s.r. or be in aggressor rosell never did. and it had nothing to do with ideology if you look at the foundations of of the united nations it didn't point out that it didn't focus on ideology it looked at the existence of sovereign states and how they would
10:39 am
be as actors on the international state alex let me go back to you and finish up on this point one of the things i think is also interesting about the article is the the rule of law in international institutions and we get this route this revision is theory that revisionist history that's coming out is it is sidestepping it wants to avoid these or even dissolve these institutions and and that is a political agenda and it's a an agenda towards a gemini i would say what absolutely this what what the agenda me is is that you say that certain western palace where the ones that seem to hand at fulton won the 2nd world war you gentle gus the soviet union smelt full which is what mike baird you say that the soviets and the. parson possible the same evil a law against the gas so you dandle adds you have completely deconstruct
10:40 am
the international system as it was creates it after the 2nd. and you know you empower morally vice setting up through this get twisted version of history you morally a small number of states dictates against the rest which is the old i mean the day it's. out there is the end of segment by saying no birth to signaling it's come to the history of a 2nd world war right gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion and some real news.
10:41 am
the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one percent of those but. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. me such a belief so you need for good in each other than the men for us who want to. make but on the but are going to do the book on the soul that is news to me just. instead of moving. the emotion learning to be must do i feel still least stuck or your muscles in the course of your knee which resists and that of option is to slow
10:42 am
. or to go chill the church. will settle into. compassion and that. we think he minds be soldier to piss off the boot she's wearing. to church so she saw looks like the movie the apostle opinion was in the book and on your luggage on the shore still in the summer watching the police force send us all to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
10:43 am
54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.
10:44 am
welcome at across town where all things are considered i'm peter about remind you discussing some real. ok let me go back to george and budapest well john bolton has put himself in the news actually but you very much liked and i really like an article that came kind of with the oh everybody in washington hates john bolton and this up that if i was a republican say he's disgruntled while democrats think he's just trying to sell books and trump calls him a sick puppy or he still laughing all the banco there is a bit of a trap be up there and it's questionable right now he's going to be able to earn the garden of the profits from this book that why anyone would read is a mystery to me go ahead george. yes there is a county yet it could be that bolton will be tied up in the
10:45 am
courts because the judge suggested. that bolton did in fact review classified information and didn't really go through all the proper vetting procedures of the white house so there are there are grounds for. ministrations lawsuit against bolton so that so that's a problem for. the conventional wisdom is that oh this won't affect anyone. voting habits because those who hate trump will vote against from those like trump will vote for trump i think i do think that this does damage trump because trump hyun bold no one forced him to do it and when he hired him there were many people you know what the hell is he doing you think you're doing all 3 of us. if anyone opposes the agenda that trump ran on in 2016 is john bolton and of course as
10:46 am
soon as bolton arrived in the white house he needless other pursuing his agenda regime change war against everyone. you know it israel 1st everything that reflects a known peace on the korean peninsula you know that's right exactly so this really does raise questions of very serious questions about trump's judgment and that goes extends to all of his appointments if ever ever when he's going to have it walks away from him full of hatred for him well of course they were because they full of hate that his agenda but he's the one who opposed them you never opposed it you never appointed anyone who would actually believe in his agenda and would try to implement his agenda so he does it is down to trump and his judgment yet you know and that's one of the things i find interesting that the bolton's behavior you know urson running his book and get. doing it to the public it's very much his style of
10:47 am
breaking the rules flaunting the laws if when he did it as a foreign policy adviser during his long and checkered career he's doing in his own personal life the rules don't apply to me that's what it gets down to you and that's you and that's what you can disarm him so him that way his foreign policy is that we do what we want to do and everyone else has the follow international law because we don't have to he is truly an exceptional person out of the is a man without one of the people who doesn't like him is the judge of the case made it very clear that he disapproves strongly of mr bolton's and precisely that reason but that is needed consistent perhaps an o. bolton's career he's an extraordinarily good tool bureaucratic in fights at ease sat many will in many places in international institutions at the head of the international atomic energy commission the head of the el organization for the
10:48 am
prohibition of chemical weapons all sorts of many places of poland's fall of john bolton a few about a year ago it was rate on the north korean embassy and i think spain portugal and bolton was why they didn't relate to people in that region cultural sea just wasn't only to secure our viewers know that that was when trump was going to meet with king. just to sabotage that we don't have the evidence but it's a very interesting coincidence that i think we would all agree here you know you george what's really interesting is how bolton is playing his cards because now he's the darling of the resistance and it just shows how the the political political thinking is to short circuit short circuited itself because bolton is one of them is one of the most agreed. it's neo-cons out there and now you have
10:49 am
the left in racing him only because he's taking a swipe at the big bad orange man in the white house i mean that it shows an enormous amount of a lack of. intellectual and moral integrity i would say. well because there's a lack of integrity of it but it is ironic that leave liberal democrat media complex is actually now has embraced the bolt on the agenda. they have had though they hatred for putin and russia that bolton espouse us that's right actually the democrats media consensus hatred towards china that's also pretty much the i mean this biden is attacking trump for being too soft on china for cow traveling to china so again bolton is not outside the consensus there. a korea he trumpets been repeatedly attacked for what has been actually a sensible policy at the end it into
10:50 am
a secret process known with north korea and the nuclear isolation of the current bill is your trump has been repeatedly attacked by the democrats on that so you know he put the bold agenda is actually the so-called liberal media agenda it is or it is surprising that there's a younger is right you know that. there is there is trump you know couch i'm going to the dictator. you know it's interesting going back to the title and politico alex everyone in washington hates john bolton but everybody in washington except for one bolton's world view him as a really quite amazing if he's it is extraordinary and we just just it's it's i mean the breaking point of parent leap between something bold the final straw was the trial didn't start a war was in front the general gratz a supposedly fought rats rossmore with iran is they mean kids he'll get
10:51 am
a great. frat and yes they are supporting john bolton. in this quarrel it's very very strange every vote ultimately in the just decision in. washington always seems to be the other choice between wall and peace use of poles wall over the piece which is of course well bolton once you said it because multan doesn't believe in international agreements he doesn't believe in helms control even lease the word of the united states should be decisive in every circumstance and he considers that the united states has the rights to enforce its news by full set that has an agenda for wool which everybody in washington ultimately accepts it's very strange and frankly very very dangerous you know in georgia i the legacy of bolton is that is what we heard
10:52 am
during the impeachment process is interagency policy consensus ok that is his ultimate legacy and it's really quite interesting if you look at bolton is any he's long been associated with the g.o.p. he was bastard's the united you've never confirmed by the senate again you know kind of breaking the rules going around but it what's interesting is that. he has left this behind this interagency policy consensus and it is just a failure from beginning to end and what it's done also is to destroy any kind of state crowd in terms of diplomacy there is no need for a secretary of state anymore for example who had. no there isn't there the bolton worldview if which is that there should be no diplomacy no negotiations the united states should just simply issue diktats ultimatum to countries and it should
10:53 am
countries fail to meet those ultimatum then the united states has to resort to force that is the bolton view and when you think of the attacks trump from from the so-called liberal media and the rest they are attacks on the things the trump actually is quite sensible about i mean there's plenty of things to criticize trump on that if they attack him book well the things that he does have a sense of look so there's no no real attacks on trump for walking away from the i.n.f. treaty. because the know it no attacks trump for assassination of the leader of iran the general sort of money earlier this year. but the very things when he says well i think we should. improve relations with russia that gets attacked well i think nato is simply a museum piece why why on earth we keep going with this thing that does nothing for us and does not the member states of nato that he gets ferociously attacked on and
10:54 am
again. in the case of korea so it's the sensible things that trump does that he gets attacked. and the worst of the reckless dangerous follies things you know he just what he can walk through you know and he's got to go and you know answer is really i thought it was really pathetic when trump was speaking to the graduating he's dead so what's the point and he was talking about ending endless wars and i thought it was a bit of it's humiliating for him to say that because that's what he was he said he went to there in the last election cycle and it's because he is he's. had on in his administration people like john boehner. there elliott abrams i mean i'm a convicted felon. it's been a no it's a human resources problem and it's his own damn fault i would say because if you're saying the same message you know you were candidate 4 years ago you're the
10:55 am
president of the united states right now and you're talking about it we have to end these endless wars well it shows look it shows a lack of leadership or at least leadership style as it would all troubles juice he wants to have it both ways he wants to be the president who has the rules and at the same time be the tough strong president who you know ease his redmarley if he's straight some toughness you can't you've got to make a choice and the trouble with some of these he always seems to. be who gave him the agent which is the one he wants to project over the policy that he's committed soon or says he is committed the result is he's policy has not only not gone anywhere it's actually requests we've not had a new wolves but we've seen many of these rules intensive and when he tries to
10:56 am
syria when he tries to get an astounding letter happens in fact they simply mean get reach a point so he picks the wrong people because he hasn't worked out any say what kind of president he ultimately wants well unfortunately ran out of time gentlemen but as i say one thing it shows strength when you want to be a peacemaker that is with the greatest role that any leader can play is a peacemaker and i unfortunately he's missed an opportunity at least in this term that's all the time we have i want to thank my guests and budapest and in london i want to thank our viewers for watching us here are to see you next time remember.
10:57 am
you know when you've been able to molest that solicit it. from the regular morgue you're more your partner are going to provide. water source i.q. all but us lucifer mistletoe is just that in the gutter with empathy. it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 beautiful lands were conceived. and carried out by the people themselves if they would produce or even floor it with the idea of making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. now is the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. little people think that hollywood is a free place but really what is strictly defined by the business and
10:58 am
the other side is ideology. how would i define hollywood is they call it the dream manufacture which i think's true but i think equally it's a problem and the fact. international memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media part of a global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video format go to award go to auntie dot com and into now. if if. if if. if.
10:59 am
we go to work. street hold. nuclear power plants will become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of the local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests who or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people this case
11:00 am
demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle for nazi. welcoming our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . it's emerged the man arrested in connection with saturday's knife attack in reading where 3 people died it was known to the u.k. security services. the prime minister get set to announce the easing of longer restrictions for the hospitality industry as the government is criticized for continuing to quarantine international travelers will be talking to a medical professor. windrush campaigners demand the u.k. government implements the findings of a key reports amid fears the immigration scandal could repeat itself i'll be joined by would rush campaigner. and ferguson campaigners claim the government is
11:01 am
misleading the public over the security of health service code 19 data with technology firms set to profit. it's emerge the suspect arrested in connection with saturday's terror attack in reading was on the radar of the u.k. security services libyan refugee kyra's the dollar was detained under the terrorism act and is accused of stabbing 3 people to death and injuring several more on easter ali joins me now with the latest. i know their research so the suspect was already known to the security services. absolutely it would appear that the suspect in that terrible incident in reading up for google and was known to or store it is of course that attack taking place on saturday where 3 people were killed in what
11:02 am
seems to be a frenzied attack using a bladed instrument a marshal some sort of people sitting in the park enjoying the weather when the suspect approached them and committed the attack now 3 people have been confirmed as having been killed in that attack 2 of them have been named one of them is a teacher by the name of james flowing another one is an american citizen by the name of joe ritchie bennett and earlier today at 10 am at the school where mr furlong taught and held a minute's silence that's the whole school in woking home and also be homesick to put it out she also went to visit the scene of the exact not only to pay her respects but also update the media as to what the intelligence services have been doing. we've got a lot of information to gather we have to look at all aspects of what happened on saturday the individual that's in custody as well to ensure that yes justice is so
11:03 am
but also we make sure that we learn the lessons from what has happened over the weekend to prevent anything like this from happening again the security services have records on thousands of people and rightly so the subjects of interest people of concern there is very difficult i can say but at the end of the day when it comes to m i 5 and our intelligence and security services they work intensively to look at the backgrounds of individuals to see what kind of risk they pose to society to our communities and they act accordingly in terms of what kind of protective measures are put in place around those individuals. now mr patel is updates in parliament as to the latest developments in that case he has praised the police for their response what do we know about the suspect who is in police custody well he's thought to be 8 or reported to be a 25 year old man with the name of katie said ally he is a libyan refugee
11:04 am
a libyan citizen who was given asylum here back in 28 seen now we understand that initially he was arrested on suspicion of murder but he has been rearrested under the terrorism act and this is where perhaps things get somewhat difficult for the intelligence services he was known to m i 5 he was on their radar and there are reports that he was a flight such as fighting in one of the rebel groups called the february 17th brigade against the government of colonel gadhafi the former leader of libya so that would be embarrassing on a number of levels for the government not only 'd that the intelligence services were aware of him but also that he was fighting on the same side as nato in that war to overthrow mr gadhafi and it would be questions as to like the mantissa bomber like with this incident how much intelligence services knew that these people were traveling back and forth the intelligence services say they're dealing
11:05 am
with thousands tens of thousands of people of interest they have to what can only keep an eye on around 3000 at any one time and this person the suspect in question had also been arrested previously for other crimes not related to terrorism and his probation officer as we understand reports that he had a history of the mental illness very serious mental illness so it could be possible that intelligence services during the process of their evaluation at didn't see quite the same level of threat from mr herder love but as far as sound is concerned she is a part of it she has updating the house as to the latest developments on this story and we will try to bring whatever updates we get out of that develop a sorority thank you very much indeed. well terrorism experts and former police officer dr david low tell me that no more attacks are difficult to prevent one of the issues is the fact that there's this this man was
11:06 am
a subject of interest and they had to do a risk assessment but we look at this for this 3000 individuals who were actively being looked at who people of concern so they're deemed as a high risk and it was between 25 to 30000 subjects of interest so it depends on the quality of information intelligence good that comes in on an individual and these risk assessments are not taken lightly the taken very seriously because the last thing you want to do in terms in terrorism is detect where we've been fortunately problem is now such that with 3 book killed it was a prevent it so we cause we've seen it before with other incidents where individuals can get such a low level of turk were on a system that is a subject of interest but deemed a low risk for that but judging by some of those numbers he was saying that day there's no way the security services can actually stop every lone attack even if someone is on their radar already that's right it's it is it's a fluid thing it's not a static there's constant assessments made on all those individuals even those who
11:07 am
are subjects of interest if more intelligence or information comes ed that poses that they could be a greater threat than they will be looked at but let's sort of bear in mind as well that since march 27th seen the u.k. security services and the counterterrorism police are actually prevented over 20. years plus from happening i mean example is the convictions recently for the attempted for the for the plots on st paul's cathedral so you know that they are working this shows that they're working but of course these type of attacks where one individual acts on their own. who could be inspired by whatever they're looking at reading at the so so difficult to prevent. prime minister boris johnson is that tournaments the thing of lockdown restrictions for the hospitality industry and cheer state including changes to the social distancing rules. the 2 metre social distancing rule could be relaxed just for me
11:08 am
to restaurants and pubs to reopen at near capacity july the 4th has long been pencilled in as the reopening date but conditions are expected to be attatched patrons could be asked to register when they enter an establishment so they can be traced if an outbreak occurs and drinks and food could also be ordered in advance by smartphone or tablet with no queuing at bars allowed well secretary matt hancock says britain is clearly on track for an easing of restrictions but if a surge were to happen the moves would be reversed the industry has taken a massive blow during the lock done with many outlets facing permanent closure. well that's as m.p.'s scientists and business leaders call on the government to ditch its covert 19 travel quarantine system professor peter p.s. the director of the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine says it's completely useless and should be dropped to soon as possible the experts say the blanket restrictions which forced all arrivals to quarantine for 14 days would only have been successful at the very start of the pandemic. all the moralists i'm
11:09 am
joined by the former director of the w.h.a. council program that's professor carroll sykora reza get sick or thank you for joining us i mean it does make sense to quarantine arrivals now because the u.k.'s infection rates are lower than other countries raising fears of more important cases is that the case. yes i think you know we're so it's a critical moment in unleashing a lockdown on the 2 things that we need to do is to reduce the distance that we can safely stand away from each other from 2 meters to what i think is a sensible $11.00 we should that's what the government show recommends and then get rid of the corn that there's no point the other countries in europe have a lower coronavirus incidence rate than we do so it makes no sense to quarantine people coming from a lower area now if you take latin america some of those countries are still quite high and that would make sense to do something to at least check the health inbound arrivals but corum cheating for the common good the common european to leave the
11:10 am
sheep makes absolutely no sense at the moment and it's not being enforced anyway it's almost like a cure for a 2nd wave as we know would be catastrophic for the travel and tourism in say so therefore we can't risk it can we. that's the problem is the 2nd wave theory which is proposed by many if you give me all just a moment would come perhaps it's kember i'm would be disastrous basing their mobiles on the influenza pandemic of 1918 when the 2nd wave actually killed far more people than the for. but we're as an oncologist i really hope it doesn't happen because they'll be more cancer patients suffering with delays and so on but my wish is that not what this pandemic will do i think the evidence of the moment is that it's coming to the end i think boris tomorrow will make it one meter not 2 meters i think you'll abolish quarantine next week except the system will have to
11:11 am
be in place if a country has a very high level of corona virus infection and there it may be sensible to have it but that doesn't apply to europe russia or any of the other countries around but is it time also for the hospitality industry to wake up again we've heard that july the 4th is the dates to think that's about right i think that's perfectly correct we do have to be careful a monitor we've sort of got systems in place now to monitor very closely what's happening the 1st one's a telephone calls to n.h.s. 11 model called line for knowledge and calls then there's testing in place with all that we can follow what this virus does next so let's get the hospitality industry going get the pubs open the restaurant open the hotels it's holiday season here people need a good holiday after what they've been through let's see what we can do so i strongly support from a medical point of getting society going again and reducing that to me to say sure distance filter one meter makes a big difference for pubs and restaurants in terms of capacity as we know but does
11:12 am
it also pose a risk. it does increase the risk slightly but not greatly the key is not to go out if you're feeling unwell have a chance for a show that's clearly the message do not risk it for all those wearing a mask won't particularly help if you're actually spewing out virus so the most important thing is your own well if you have a temperature stay at home and you can keep everybody else i think most people will do if you've got corona virus or if you've got the flu you don't feel like going out to get enough or to a club so i think it will be self. judgement that people have to be responsible about it's not possible to. affect our sick or thank you very much indeed for joining us. but. coming up after the break. campaign as to the u.k. government quickly implemented a report into the winter a scandal which playing games failing to let let me history repeats itself we can

up anyway well the government's admitted the treatment of the wind rush generation was unacceptable do you not feel like you are getting justice. not really i mean what has changed nothing has changed we're still waiting and i feel as if this different a students is they just bring things to coverup was the way the compensation there was a high profile cases that meyer and before the media and west to wait you know they said that this 1000 started every 5 claims i'm 60 payments and they still got me puling said well i thought that they need to to rush this hurry up and get this sorted out and in practical terms what else do you want the government today. i believe that they should also. take education they need to be educated. in so that people can understand what this whole scandal was the crowds. and speed
11:19 am
up the good the compensation people need to be paid he even has something similar to the wind council could ever happen again oh definitely definitely i mean we still got a younger generation be hind me here this is still people. who are afraid to come forward because they don't trust the government that's so deadlocked. i believe it's going to happen again if there's no doubt about it they need to look into this properly set up their systems properly so that this does not happen again and to say that thank you very much indeed for talking to us you're welcome. well meanwhile a filmmaker has been examining the issues which led to the scandal and what can be learned from it. windrush or you know what's called now the window i stand on those issues of immigration status and deportations been around for quite a long time no new phenomenon. but what we've seen unfold is this must deportation wholesale deportation of people to jordan about entire planes chartered just to
